Yekwon Sunwoo
Gold medalist of the Fifteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, 28-year-old pianist Yekwon Sunwoo has been hailed for "his total command over the instrument and its expressiveness" (San Francisco Examiner). A powerful and virtuosic performer, he also, in his own words, "strives to reach for the truth and pure beauty in music," and hopes to convey those fundamental emotions to audiences.
Born in Anyang, South Korea, Mr. Sunwoo began learning piano at age 8. He gave both his recital and orchestra debuts in 2004 in Seoul before moving to the United States in 2005 to study with Seymour Lipkin at the Curtis Institute of Music. He earned his bachelor's degree there, his master's at The Juilliard School with Robert McDonald, and his artist diploma at the Mannes School of Music with Richard Goode. He currently studies under Bernd Goetzke in Hannover. Mr. Sunwoo credits each for their guidance in his artistic development and approach, and honored the late Mr. Lipkin by performing his cadenza during his Semifinal Round performance of the Mozart Piano Concerto in C Major, K. 467.
The first Korean to win Cliburn gold, Mr. Sunwoo launched his debut season in 2017–2018 with invitations to the Aspen, Grand Teton, and Duszniki International Music Festivals. Recitals will take him to Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and Vancouver, and he undertakes a nine-city tour of the United States with the National Orchestra of Cuba in the spring. In Europe, Mr. Sunwoo makes his United Kingdom concerto debut with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under Cristian Macelaru, appears in the first full season at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, and performs in Brussels, Copenhagen, Istanbul, Madrid, Helsingborg, and across Germany. His appearances in Asia include those in Beirut, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and across South Korea.
Record label Decca Gold released Cliburn Gold 2017 two weeks after his Cliburn win, which includes his award-winning performances of Ravel's La valse and Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Sonata.
In previous seasons, Mr. Sunwoo has performed as soloist with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under Marin Alsop, The Juilliard Orchestra with Itzhak Perlman at Avery Fisher Hall, Houston Symphony Orchestra with James Feddeck, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin and Nicholas McGegan, National Orchestra of Belgium, Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra, and others. He has appeared in recital in Hamarikyu Asahi Hall in Tokyo, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall in London, Radio France and Salle Cortot in Paris, Kumho Art Hall in Seoul, and throughout South Korea, Germany, Switzerland, Prague, and Morocco.
An avid chamber musician, his partners have included the Jerusalem and Brentano String Quartets, violinists Benjamin Beilman and Ida Kafavian, cellists Edgar Moreau, Gary Hoffman, and Peter Wiley, and pianist Anne-Marie McDermott. He has toured Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Panama with the Kumho Asiana Cultural Foundation, performed for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Inside Chamber Music Lectures, and been invited to the Summit Music, Bowdowin International, and Toronto Summer Music Festivals.
In addition to the Cliburn gold medal, Mr. Sunwoo has won first prizes at the 2015 International German Piano Award in Frankfurt, the 2014 Vendome Prize held at the Verbier Festival, the 2013 Sendai International Music Competition, and the 2012 William Kapell International Piano Competition.

Poor experience! This facility doesn't care about the patients, if you are seeking for a true rehabilitation this is no the facility to go. For my just was a waste of time and money.
Clearly not the best place to get treatment, or at least the residential program was a waste of time for me. The staff members didn't show any empathy and just didn't want to be bothered at all. If you go to be treated at PFH you are there to recover in your own. Therapy sessions only twice a week which I think is a low number considering people are really in need.
Preferred Family Healthcare saved my life! I was so happy, comfortable and welcomed there! I learned the all consequences of alcohol! The staff is absolutely amazing! You literally couldn't ask for a better treatment facility!
How effective was Preferred Family Healthcare?


Apple's Photos for macOS taking forever to scan photos for People?
I recently migrated around ~50,000 photos and videos from Aperture to Photos (see my blog post on the process), and have also in a short amount of time upgraded my personal and work Mac laptops (both from older MacBook Airs to newer MacBook Pros).
On both of my new laptops—which were at least 3x faster than my older Airs—I noticed that Photos started completely fresh in its photo analysis for the 'People' album that shows everyone's faces. And after three weeks of seeing one of my CPUs stick around 100% all day every day (while plugged in), I started getting sick of this.
I would leave the Mac on all night, and check in the morning, and only 20-30 new faces would be recognized.
There are all kinds forum posts and support requests in Apple's community forums asking "Anyone else finding Photos 'People' scanning really slow?" and "Why is people scanning in MacOS Photos so slow?".
On my iPhone and iPad, even though I have Photos set to 'optimize iOS storage' (meaning only a subset of photos and videos are stored on the phone), the people scanning only took a few days, and then it's kept up since.
But on the Mac, after a few weeks, the pace is still glacial. I'm fairly certain the macOS version of Photos and iCloud Photo Library have some bugs causing this problem. But how do you work around it?
Choose 'Download Originals to this Mac'.
Wait a really long time for all Originals to be downloaded.
Now, this presupposes you have enough disk space on the drive where you're Photos library is located to store all the photos and videos from your library. And many people probably don't. So you might need to use an external drive, and move your library there for a few days.
The benefit is that instead of 20-40 photos and videos scanned per day, I'm now getting 15-20,000 scanned per day! So it should be finished in a couple days, just like on my iPhone and iPad.
Some people speculate it could be the videos taking so long—and videos may take a little longer than photos for scanning, depending on how Photos is scanning through them (whether it just scans a keyframe, or all frames of the video)—but I think there's some sort of major bug with the way the macOS Sierra version of Photos handles the optimized library for scanning faces.
People are not synchronized in any helpful way between all my computers (I have three Macs, an iPhone and an iPad... and if I want People associated with my photos, I have to do it all manually... on every single device).
People have to be re-scanned if you migrate a Time Machine backup to a new (or existing) Mac. This was a really annoyance as I moved the existing library to my new Mac, and it started re-scanning everything. What a waste of CPU/power!
People scanning takes absolutely forever on macOS Sierra if you have 'Optimize Mac Storage' enabled.
Hey, great tip! I did this and now all my 50k photos are face scanned. But now my 500GB SSD is almost full. How can I force Photos to now only keep the low-res photos locally? I re-enabled Optimized storage a few days ago but it doesn't seem to have reduced the local storage requirements. I need to free up 25GB or so to create a VirtualBox VM.
Do you know how I can force Photos to delete a bunch of the locally-stored hi-res images?
As far as I can tell, Photos will automatically start removing things as you fill up more space on the drive. On my Mac, I opened Storage Management.app and made sure all the relevant 'optimize storage' settings were turned on, and things 'just worked'.
In fact, if you click on your hard drive in Finder and choose File > Get Info, it will show you that 'x' amount of space is available with "x purgeable"—that purgeable space is, I think, all the photos that will be deleted as you fill up more of your drive.
Unfortunately, my drive Info says only 365MB purgeable, while the Manage Storage screen says I have 234GB of photos. I guess I will leave my laptop plugged in and running for a few days to see what happens.
You need to quit Photos App. The scanning is (relatively) faster when you quit Photos. The scanning takes place in the background. Whenever you use Photos App, the scanning stops or slows down considerably. So, try not using Photos app until the scanning is completed. I check once in two hours or so by launching Photos, note how many photos are yet to be scanned, quit Photos. Still it is slow (has taken 6 hours to scan 10K photos.
I had the same issue many others are reporting, after several weeks Photos had failed to continue the remaining 20% of my photos. After checking the logs I saw that photoanalysisd was stopping the scan attempt every time it came up due to thermal issues.
So, I put a small fan feeding air into the Macbook Pro's vents (internal fans are always on these days), turned my AC on, and rebooted w/o launching any apps. When I woke up in the morning the last of the photos were scanned.
I have this problem on Mojave. But all my ~81,000 pictures are on my Mac. Why don't the pictures which have been scanned show up in the people album? Does it make a difference that they are imported by reference, not physically in the Photos library? BTW, the slowness is even when plugged into power and Photos is not running.
I too have been waiting an eternity for photos to finishing scanning for faces but I wish to point out a flaw in the programme that this wonderful artucle doesnt cover. By default the 'faces' are named by the software. This overides user input. I have twins in my family and although I can tell them apart and name them according in the background the app decides they are the same person anf deletes one face and incorporates it into the other name. This is ridiculously poor programming for Apple. User input should overide the softwares 'best guess' and to have this happening in the background means you don't notice immediately. I thought I was losing it when people kept dissappearing from my people list and then I found them under thier very similar looking family members but even after I manually named them correctly they disappeared back to where the software feels they belong. Its frustrating when the family member see mislabelled photos and thinks I got it wrong. I have had to resort to putting names as keywords to overcome this issue until Apple sorts this and preferably fixes the scanning bug too! Thanks for a great article.
This helps quite a bunch! Will try all those tips. Thanks!

India is witnessing an increasing trend in the number of new schools. Starting a new school in India and providing quality education involves meticulous planning and unconditional commitment of the promoter.
An inordinate number of school owners approached me to seek assistance in increasing the number of school admissions. Incidentally, most of them had entrusted the responsibility of setting up and managing the school to veteran academicians and expected the academicians to deliver the revenue goals to sustain the school.
Even before the school completed its first academic year, there were occasions where the services of these incumbent academicians were terminated on the grounds of insufficient admissions and its financial implications on the school project.
I can never approve of such executive decisions, given the root causes I deciphered during my school consultation visits – Promoters themselves sowed the seed for a much deep-rooted issue by barely taking care of the real estate, building and employing founding academicians with an expectation to deliver financial results.
Founding academicians are indispensable for any school, such arbitrary acts seriously compromise the educational objectives of the school, leads to attrition adding fuel to the fire.
Failure cannot be solely attributed to founding academicians, as promoters compromised with the fundamental principles of planning a new school. The role of an academician in the 21st Century school is immense, timely planning ensures significant savings in the school set up and management costs.
The new school caters to the educational needs of the target community, sustaining its position is always a number one priority. A school concept that succeeds in a given circumstance might not work at all in other circumstances. Many promoters ignore the need for planning and learn the hard way.
I strongly advise school promoters to deploy the professional expertise even before they invest the first penny into the new school venture—A school consultancy who can advise you on all aspects of the new school project including devising a suitable concept for the target market in line with your goals, connect missing links between academics and infrastructure to facilitate meaningful 21st century learning, position the school effectively to the target audience; predict inception & growth basis empirical data, bring to reality your dream school and ensure perpetual support for the school.

Q: PHP if is_product echo canonical link I'm having some trouble outputting canonical tags on my WordPress/WooCommerce website.
So basically, we have several variations of the same product set up as simple products. Because of this we have duplicate content, so we want to tell search engines that the central source of information is a landing page we have set up for each product via canonical tag.
This an example of the code we have currently. All code is in our header.php file:
<?php
    // Achilles Desert Hawk UHP
    if(is_product( array( '245-40-r20-99v-achilles-desert-hawk-uhp-e-c-72', '245-45-r20-99v-achilles-desert-hawk-uhp-e-c-72', '255-45-r20-105v-achilles-desert-hawk-uhp-f-c-72' )))
    {
    echo '<link rel="canonical" href="https://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/achilles-tyres/desert-hawk-uhp/" />';
    }

    // General Grabber GT
    elseif(is_product( array( '195-80-r15-96h-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '205-70-r15-96h-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '205-80-r16-104t-general-grabber-gt-e-c-72', '215-60-r17-96h-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '215-65-r16-98h-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '215-65-r16-98v-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '215-70-r16-100h-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '225-55-r17-97v-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '225-55-r18-98v-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '225-60-r18-100h-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '225-65-r17-102v-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '225-70-r16-103h-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71', '235-50-r18-97v-general-grabber-gt-e-c-71' )))
    {
    echo '<link rel="canonical" href="https://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/general-tyres/grabber-gt/" />';
    }

// Kumho Road Venture AT KL78
elseif(is_product( array( '30-950-r15-104s-kumho-road-venture-at-kl78-f-e-78', '195-80-r15-100s-kumho-road-venture-at-kl78-e-e-74', '205-75-r15-97s-kumho-road-venture-at-kl78-e-e-74', '205-80-r16-104s-kumho-road-venture-at-kl78-e-e-74')))
{
echo '<link rel="canonical" href="https://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/kumho-tyres/road-venture-at-kl78/" />';
}
?>

So basically, the problem is that the respective canonical links aren't being outputted to the correct pages.
Here's an example: https://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/shop/tyres/205-75-r15-97s-kumho-road-venture-at-kl78-e-e-74/
This should have the following line of code between the <head></head> tags:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/kumho-tyres/road-venture-at-kl78/" />

but instead it says:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/achilles-tyres/desert-hawk-uhp/" />

If anyone could please advise on this it would be much appreciated as I can't figure it out :)

A: It looks like your is_product() function is returning true when it should be returning false - possibly always true. Thus the first branch executes instead of the others.

A photographer who hates having his picture taken has made a last minute call for votes after his work was shortlisted in a national competition.
Dagenham snapper Colin Page's photo of a man carrying a cross outside Wood Lane Baptist Church entitled Church Bazaar is up for a gong in the 2019 British Photography Awards.
The shot is one of 20 shortlisted in the street scene category with the winning entry decided for the first time by public vote.
Colin, who lives in Winifred Road, said: "I want to put Dagenham on the map.
"There are pictures in the competition from all over the world. I want Dagenham to be known worldwide.
"It would be brilliant if people voted for me. It would nice to win to get Dagenham noticed for something other than bad news," he added.
No stranger to success, the 51-year-old amateur won the same award last year with a photo of a silhouetted couple looking across London from Greenwich Park.
"I'm going for the double," Colin said.
The former lorry driver took this year's entry last Easter using his Leica 114, a model between a compact and digital camera.
"It was really weird," Colin said. "I was just passing on a bus and there was a man walking down the street with a massive cross on his back.
The lifelong photography buff started developing his own black and white prints in a make-shift darkroom at home when he was 15 years-old.
He started to take his hobby a bit more seriously two or three years ago.
His photograph, Valence Park, took second prize last month in a competition focused on landscapes around Havering, Thurrock, Barking and Dagenham and Brentwood.
But Colin, his parents' main carer, doesn't want to turn professional.
"I do it for the love of doing it," he said.
The public voting closes on Thursday (November 15) with nominees announced on November 25.

Profiled in TechCrunch within a week of the first prototype being made, Aipoly allows blind people to recognise objects using computer vision and has been downloaded 500,000 times in 23 languages since its launch at CES 2016.
Recognition: Marita was named the 2012 Young Australian of the Year for demonstrating vision and leadership well beyond her years as the Founder and Executive Director of Robogals Global. Noticing the low number of girls in her engineering classes at the University of Melbourne, Marita rounded up her fellow engineering peers and they went to schools to teach girls robotics, as a way to encourage girls into engineering. While on academic exchange at Imperial College London, Marita expanded the group to London and through innovation and sheer will, Marita then expanded Robogals throughout Australia, the UK, the USA and Japan. The group runs robotics workshops, career talks and various other community activities to introduce young women to engineering.
Teaching: Robogals has now taught 70,000 girls from 11 countries our robotics workshops across 32 chapters. Robogals has been internationally recognised though the Global Engineering Deans Council Diversity in Engineering Award (2014), Grace Hopper Celebration's Anita Borg Change Agent Award (2011), and the International Youth Foundation's YouthActionNet Fellowship (2011).
Presentations: Marita regularly travels around Australia presenting her work including appearing on Q&A on ABC beside two Nobel Laureates and the Chief Scientist of Australia (TV audience 600,000), and alongside Ashton Kutcher at Lenovo's #TechMyWay (online audience 35,000). As well, she has presented overseas at Foxconn's H.Spectrum by Yonglin Healthcare Startup Conference in Taiwan (2016), the 37th Kumon Japan Instructors Conference in Japan (2016), the World Engineering Education Forum in Dubai (2014), and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts' World Conference in Hong Kong (2014).
Education: Marita was born in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. She grew up in housing commission with her brother and single-parent mother, who worked as a hotel room cleaner. She graduated from high school in 2006 in the top 0.2% of the nation, and that year was awarded Cairns Young Citizen of the Year for her volunteering and extra-curricula efforts, which included winning awards for mathematics, Japanese and piano. Marita speaks English, Cantonese and Japanese.
Marita has a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics) / Bachelor of Computer Science from the University of Melbourne. She serves on the boards of Robogals Global, the Foundation for Young Australians, and RMIT's New Enterprise Investment Fund, where she helps decide on startup investments, the Victorian State Innovation Expert Panel, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative's Tech Advisory Board.

Marita is an exceptional public speaker, drawing on both her background and personal experience to tell a very interesting story, made much more digestible by her humble disposition. I would recommend her to any organisation or entity who want to promote concepts such as individual leadership and innovation.
Marita Cheng was the keynote speaker at NAWIC Victoria/Tasmania's International Women's Day half day forum. She spoke about her love for engineering as well as for Robogals, for which helped secure her as the award winner of the 2012 Young Australian of the Year. Marita is young and ambitious and yet humble in her approach to life which makes her for a great mentor and role model for other young women not just considering engineering as a career but for young adults in general. Marita's strong initiative, drive and determination comes through in everything she does. NAWIC Victoria/Tasmania Council commend her and support her in her efforts!

Marita took on the role of moderator for the artists to audience discussion after each performance of the Android-Theatre show Sayonara at Arts Centre Melbourne. She was very comfortable on stage and in the spotlight and her delightful personality put both the speakers and the audience members immediately at ease. Her passion and knowledge for the topic of robotics shone through and her skill at steering the conversation and engaging the audience was excellent. She understood the breadth of the work and subtly balanced the discussion to encompass a range of areas incorporating humour and philosophy alongside science and performing arts.
We thank you so much for bringing your passion, talent and real-girl appeal to girls and our movement, through your participation on our panel. I know that people will be thinking and talking about the stories you shared, for a long time. You are a role model to so many! Despite the frenetic pace that Convention brings, it was an absolute pleasure getting to know and work with you. Your panel was certainly my convention highlight!
The Brisbane ASF went really well and Marita was very inspirational and motivating. The audience loved her! After the forum, Marita stayed in the foyer taking photos and chatting with Kumon Instructors, parents and students. She encouraged our students and advised them as well. The kids looked up to her and it was a lovely scene to watch. We have received plenty of positive feedback from Instructors, parents and students as well! She was very friendly and sociable with everyone.

It's ironic that Presidents Day is associated with mattress sales, given what terrible things the nation's top job does for sleeping habits. President Clinton may have boasted about how little sleep he got while in office, but science shows that restless nights take a serious toll on our health. What's more, our commanders-in-chief seem to have bad luck with beds, whether it be Washington's boyhood account of lying on a flea-ridden pile of straw, the bedsprings that may have hastened Garfield's death, or Trump's ill-fated foray into the mattress business.
For a job that has such a fraught relationship with sleep, rarely do we think about where our leaders catch their shut-eye. What were their beds like, and how have sleeping environments changed over the years? For Presidents Day this year, we decided to take a look at the most famous presidential sleeping quarters, the White House's Lincoln Bedroom, and see what lessons we can draw for our sleep today.
The Lincoln Bedroom is one of the most famous rooms in the White House, second only, perhaps, to the Oval Office. Yet despite its name, Lincoln never actually slept in the Lincoln Bedroom, which served only as a Cabinet room during his term. The room went through many changes until Harry Truman, in the 1940s, finally dedicated it to our 16th president. The Lincoln Bedroom was refurbished during the second Bush administration in 2004, with modern decorators seeking to re-create the lavish Victorian style of Lincoln's day. The design included a massive, 20-foot-high canopy of purple drapes, topped with a giant, gilded crown—a replica of the Lincoln Bed's original setting.
Mary Todd Lincoln commissioned the famous Lincoln Bed in 1861 as a guest bed. By today's standards, it's huge: 8 feet long and 6 feet wide. (For comparison, a California King, one of the largest standard sizes available today, is 7 feet long and 6 feet wide.) In addition, the frame is massive, made of rosewood with ornate carvings and a headboard that rises 8 feet above the bed. That must have presented problems for White House staff, who had to move the bed at least 10 times before it got to its current resting place. Lincoln, our tallest president at 6 feet 4 inches, would no doubt have appreciated the extra leg room—if he had slept there. But the lesson for today is clear: find a bed that fits your body, but also your bedroom. Even if you don't have a room of presidential proportions, simple tricks like swapping out a headboard for a simple platform or an adjustable base can make a small space feel more open and versatile.
These designs may have provided some comfort but were probably not great for spinal alignment. In addition, they had to be flipped and restuffed on a semi-regular basis.
The Lincoln mattress was made with horsehair, a component still used in today's ultra-luxury mattresses. Horsehair is naturally hollow and, when curled and compressed, highly supportive. It doesn't absorb moisture, so it wicks away sweat. It is also wildly expensive. Even if you can't afford to spend $50,000 on a horsehair mattress, you can still experience comfort beyond Lincoln's wildest dreams with today's choices of innerspring, memory foam or latex. Be sure to shop around and see what material is right for you.
Even though Lincoln never slept in the bed named for him, several later presidents did, including Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge. In all this time, the bed itself went through very few changes. In fact, the original mattress was only replaced by Barbara Bush in the late 20th century. Manufacturers today recommend replacing your mattress every seven to 10 years, and most companies offer warranties for no more than 10 years. While many older mattresses could be restuffed or flipped, most of today's most popular models are one-sided and can only be rotated horizontally. To keep your mattress in good shape, be sure to change your sheets regularly, using appropriate materials for the season to avoid overheating and sweating. Use a mattress protector if you have problems with bedbugs. Finally, don't let sentimental attachment keep you tethered to an old or uncomfortable mattress.
If these cautionary tales haven't convinced you to ditch your Presidents Day mattress associations, consider this: most Presidents Day mattress sales may not be offering a good deal. According to a report in Vox, "many mattress stores invent hugely inflated 'standard' retail prices and then offer 'discounts' that still price the mattress way above its actual cost." On top of this, different retail stores often offer "exclusive" versions of identical designs, which makes it hard to comparison shop.
So this Presidents Day, don't feel pressured by one-day-only deals. Take the time to shop around and find the mattress that's right for you. Above all, look for clarity and transparency when you shop, so you know exactly what you're getting. It might not be the Lincoln Bed, but for the right price, you can find a something that will ensure better sleep for years to come.
For more Presidents Day-themed sleep tips, here are some fun presidential sleep facts that can improve your own snoozing habits.

Shingai releases a lovely 4-track EP, entitled, "Ancient Futures"
August 18, 2019 0 3 min read
Shingai is a singer-songwriter from London, England. Not too long ago, she released her highly-anticipated debut solo EP, entitled, "Ancient Futures".
The likable project is a concoction of everything that has brought her to this point.
Also, it's a celebration of Shingai's London roots and Southern-African heritage.
Shingai – "Coming Home" music video
The cinematic music video was filmed in the bustling capital of Harare, Zimbabwe. Also, additional footage was filmed in the majestic mountains of Domboshava.
The audiovisual showcases some of Zimbabwe's magnificent scenery, locations, and vibrancy of its people.
Also, "Coming Home" represents the journey of Zimbabwean music, whose legacy Shingai is taking into the future.
"Zimtron"
"'Zimtron' is my love letter to London. This beautiful melting-pot of culture, sub-culture, and counter-culture. I'll forever be connected to this city and it's weird and wonderful ways. The song brings together so many different influences it's almost impossible to articulate them." – Shingai
'Zimtron' pulls listeners underground towards a pulsating, heaving, and sweaty dancefloor. Also, it's the soundtrack to the underdog's unexpected triumph.
"Champion Styles"
"I want people to sing along like no one's watching." – Shingai
'Champion Style' is a joyous ode to the sound system culture Shingai was surrounded by in her youth and the UK garage that was rinsed on pirate radio.
The likable tune contains rumbling bass lines and synths contort with reverbing undertones.
Also, Shingai's vocals guide listeners through the concrete jungle of the city nightlife.
"We are in revolutionary times. Art is helping to create new narratives. I don't want to hear that it can't be done. I don't want there to be a ceiling. But if there is one, it's definitely at least started cracking. I'm excited about taking risks. I'm a lot less scared to be myself. It's time to unfold my truth." – Shingai
Speaking of revolutionary, Shingai is in it for the long haul, on her journey as a re-established independent artist.
Record labels, she said, usually want to "play it safe" and want artists to stick to just one sound, but she is, as ever, impossible to pigeonhole. Instead, Shingai is creating her own space: eclectic on her own terms.
'Revolutions' is full of fight, confrontation, and triumph. Also, the song seals Shingai's return to center stage, where she belongs.
Shingai
"I often have to find harmony between my different selves. There's British Shingai who grew up in South London with all the energy of the concrete jungle; that's the more contemporary side of myself. Also, I feel like an old soul because of the Zimbabwean and Bantu heritage I have. I'm a bit of a remix. One grandmother is from Malawi, another is from Mozambique, and both my parents were born in Zim." – Shingai
Shingai's distinctive vocal style and look always stood apart from her peers like Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Paloma Faith.
Her "Ancient Futures" EP that draws on her Zimbabwean and Bantu heritage and throws it forward into a realm that's all her own.
Shingai's – "Ancient Futures" EP
In today's oversaturated market, evolution and authenticity may be the artist's key to success.
Therefore, Shingai may well be breaking the boundaries of pop before it consumes itself.
We recommend adding her "Ancient Futures" EP to your personal playlist. Also, let us know how you feel about it in the comment section below.

2020 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S: A CLASSIC REAR ENGINE SPORTS CAR MEETS THE NEW, DIGITAL AGE
by Mark Keast | Sep 11, 2020 | Cars, Motor
The moment I walked up to the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, my first time driving one, I was struck by the smaller design and dimensions. I am 6-feet, 220 pounds, and was gearing up for a three-hour drive to Lake Huron. What went through my mind was how comfortable the ride would be, for someone my size.
Related: The 2020 Cadillac CT4 is for hardcore driving enthusiasts only
My brother is 6-foot-5, around 270 pounds, waiting for us at the cottage up north. He couldn't wait for a spin in the sleek beauty. On first look I wasn't sure how I would accommodate that.
Then I climbed in, and another world opened up.
Bold and muscular exterior
Our 221-kilometre drive west to Lake Huron took us up the 400 network of highways. Then onto winding country roads, like Highway 109, and Highway 9, past corn fields, farm land, rows of electricity-generating wind turbines, vibrant fields of yellow sunflowers. In other words, plenty of summer drive variety to really open up an elite sports car and get an education on everything it had to offer.
The Porsche 911 is in its eight generation. So a lot of the important elements of the 2020 version connect to its storied past. It's remains a true, classic, rear-engined sports car for hardcore driving enthusiasts. Porsche though has worked in some bells and whistles, inside particularly, to bring the 911 more into the digital age.
The car is powered by a new flat-six turbocharged engine. That's more muscular than ever before – 443 horsepower, an increase of 23 hp compared to the previous generations. Porsche's German engineers improved the injection process and designed a new layout for the turbochargers. Acceleration to 100 km/h is henceforth much improved. The all-wheel-drive Porsche 911 Carrera 4S sits at 3.6 seconds.
We were also fortunate to have a car equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package ($6,230), pushing up the acceleration to 100 km/h another 0.2 seconds. Top speed for the AWD version is 306 km/h. A newly developed eight-speed dual-clutch transmission delivers the power to the driver.
Faster gear shifts mean a more intense sports car driving experience. A more powerful front wheel drive also lends itself to heightened driving dynamics. As was expected, driving those zig-zagging, freshly paved country back roads, the Porsche's elite precision and performance were real statement-makers.
The Sport Chrono Package only enhances the car's performance. This option is for driver's looking for more of a hardcore sports car driving experience, in safe conditions. The package includes the new mode switch with Sport Response button and PSM Sport Mode. The Sport Response button allows the driver to set engine and transmission responsiveness to maximum performance for 20 seconds. PSM Sport Mode adjusts the stability system to a more sporty mode. It's exhilarating, to say the least.
What about that design, especially the interior, that we spoke about? It has been completely re-designed. I had no issue with leg room, sitting that low to the road surface. As someone at Porsche said to us, German engineers tend to be tall individuals, so driver and passenger height is always at the forefront. The new, adaptive sports seats (18-way, electric) go a long way there as well. The seats have been re-vamped. They are lighter in weight construction, meaning the vehicle is three kilograms lighter as well.
New 10.9-inch HD PCM touchscreen
Two, high-definition, 7-inch displays and a central analogue rev counter form the instrument cluster ahead of you. A new 10.9 inch full HD touchscreen display is the hallmark of the Porsche Communication Management system. Underneath that are five buttons for direct access to important vehicle functions, which can be operated intuitively.
Again, the modern age – multi-function control elements blend seamlessly into the classic, 360-millimetre diameter leather steering wheel. And the ignition key is a thing of the past. Keyless Go and a switch to start the engine is the way forward for Porsche.
The Porsche 911 Carrera 4S has a wider body than past models, including an adaptive rear spoiler with a wider cross-sectional area. Particularly eye-catching off the back is the full-length LED technology light strip.
But what about critiques? It's tough to find much with an automobile with this history and reputation, but storage space is one. You might be surprised at the room in the luggage department at the front. You won't be fitting in pieces of aluminum Rimowa pieces for a long drive to California, but there is space to get creative with your packing.
The back is tight, as you can well imagine. But at least Porsche has made the backrest 20 millimetres higher, with a wider seat cushion.
Total retail price for the 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S we drove was $187,800.

Ouya just can't stay out of the headlines, can it? After recently announcing that the TV-centric Android gaming system would come with built-in OnLive support, the company is back to say that it's partnering with Square Enix to bring Final Fantasy III to your TV. If you live in Japan, this might be old news, but it marks the first time anywhere else that the game will be available via a television-based console.
Ouya says that not only will FFIII be on the platform at launch, but it will be updated for high-res gameplay and there will even be a free demo for users who aren't quite sold on the idea. Remember, one of the key principles of Ouya's approach is that all games on the console must either be free or have a free trial available. Fantastic.
For a Kickstarter project, and one that hasn't even finished its first round of fundraising, much less reached release, the Ouya is garnering quite a bit of attention from semi-major players in the industry. There is certainly a very long way to go, but it's looking better and better for the little console that could.


Young drivers may well make up 16% road deaths but how many of these tragic incidents involve uninsured drivers, Police pursuits, drivers without the correct licence entitlement in the UK, drug/alcohol factors, or perhaps no car at all – the young person is killed by an older driver while walking or cycling.
Raw data doesn't tell the whole story, but the facts from the Dept of Transport show a steep decline in road deaths over the last ten years. Almost certainly much of this is down to safer cars protecting the occupants, plus lower speeds because of congestion.
A graduated licence isn't much use to someone planning to drive completely illegally, or disconnect their insurance telematics app when they fancy a Friday night cruise with some tyre-smokin' donuts on the side, to impress their mates on Snapchat.

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose start-up "unicorn" promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fund-raising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes' worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work.

Why We Sleep
Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams
De : Matthew Walker
Lu par : Steve West
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives: how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden side of...well, everything. The inner working of a crack gang...the truth about real-estate agents...the secrets of the Klu Klux Klan. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking, and Freakonomics will redefine the way we view the modern world.

Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

Popular blogger Cal Newport reveals the new key to achieving success and true meaning in professional life: the ability to master distraction. Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves their attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term deep work on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve.

Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century
De : George Packer
Lu par : Joe Barrett
Richard Holbrooke was brilliant, utterly self-absorbed, and possessed of almost inhuman energy and appetites. Admired and detested, he was the force behind the Dayton Accords that ended the Balkan wars, America's greatest diplomatic achievement in the post-Cold War era. His power lay in an utter belief in himself and his idea of a muscular, generous foreign policy. From his days as a young adviser in Vietnam to his last efforts to end the war in Afghanistan, Holbrooke embodied the postwar American impulse to take the lead on the global stage.

Midnight in Chernobyl

April 25, 1986 in Chernobyl was a turning point in world history. The disaster not only changed the world's perception of nuclear power and the science that spawned it, but also our understanding of the planet's delicate ecology. With the images of the abandoned homes and playgrounds beyond the barbed wire of the 30-kilometer Exclusion Zone, the rusting graveyards of contaminated trucks and helicopters, the farmland lashed with black rain, the event fixed for all time the notion of radiation as an invisible killer.

De : Adam Tooze
Lu par : Simon Vance, Adam Tooze
In September 2008 the Great Financial Crisis, triggered by the collapse of Lehman brothers, shook the world. A decade later its spectre still haunts us. As the appalling scope and scale of the crash was revealed, the financial institutions that had symbolised the West's triumph since the end of the Cold War, seemed - through greed, malice and incompetence - to be about to bring the entire system to its knees.
The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism", and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior.
Shoshana Zuboff's interdisciplinary breadth and depth enable her to come to grips with the social, political, business, and technological meaning of the changes taking place in our time. We are at a critical juncture in the confrontation between the vast power of giant high-tech companies and government, the hidden economic logic of surveillance capitalism, and the propaganda of machine supremacy that threaten to shape and control human life. Will the brazen new methods of social engineering and behavior modification threaten individual autonomy and democratic rights and introduce extreme new forms of social inequality? Or will the promise of the digital age be one of individual empowerment and democratization?
The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. Rather, it offers a deeply reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization in the 21st century. The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

"I will make a guarantee: Assuming we survive to tell the tale, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism has a high probability of joining the likes Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and Max Weber's Economy and Society as defining social-economics texts of modern times. It is not a 'quick read'; it is to be savored and re-read and discussed with colleagues and friends. No zippy one-liners from me, except to almost literally beg you to read/ingest this book." (Tom Peters, coauthor of In Search of Excellence)
"My mind is blown on every page by the depth of Shoshana's research, the breadth of her knowledge, the rigor of her intellect, and finally by the power of her arguments. I'm not sure we can end the age of surveillance capitalism without her help, and that's why I believe this is the most important book of our time." (Doc Searls, author of The Intention Economy, editor in chief, Linux Journal)

An essential read for everyone who owns a smartphone
With a level of certainty and clarity of a masterpiece, this book takes aim at the omnipresent surveillance capitalist that boldly claims our daily lives and liberty in pursuit of unlimited power and profits. Based on impressive theoretical groundwork, this book shows the philosophical urgency and practical ways of resisting this new breed of exploitative capitalist.
A MUST, NOT TO BE MISSED
Something wicked indeed has come this way, and is upon us now. Dubbed early on "The Information Age"; the appellation is woefully insufficient. For it is glaringly clear that we are well into the transition from occupying nation states (in which our social contracts as governed populations had long been between civil governments -- varied in kind, but with the one common feature of thriving entirely on human agency) to occupying corporate states. That is, it is not too soon to say we no longer populate nations but vast ruling corporations.
The singular, most curious and even frightening thing to consider is that to the degree we arrived at this predicament, we did so willingly. We did so under no other pressure than our own acquiescence. We did so not from ignorance of what was happening -- for this book is proof of that -- but from, if anything, a mass gaslighting. Thus, with all the facts before us, we chose the road called convenience rather than the road called liberty; and that, as the poet once wrote, made all the difference.

The intersection of ethics, capitalism, and tech
First, I love to read about ethics issues in technology; so, it may not be immediately apparent that one would be getting a good dose within this title. I was enamored from the beginning of how colorful this author was in producing a tangible and practical view of surveillance capitalism. This is a concept I've heard very little about outside of the security sector. To have the correlation made with other sociological concepts that I hadn't really thought about stretched me! This book was fantastic at opening up and investigating the implications of surveillance with the majority of consumers not truly comprehending and understanding the cost.
Now, I would be remiss if I didn't also mention that the author goes on, repeatedly and at length, to address the same points multiple times. It was really hard to extract the take-away points at the mid-point of this book because of how often the author hits the same points, using the same language, and the same frustration toward the abuses. If you are not a reader that likes to "work" to obtain the gold nuggets of wisdom, then this is not the book for you. At times, I found myself cursing in traffic because the author repeats herself too much. I have the impression that this author created this book intending that each chapter should be able to stand on it's own. The unifying themes are very evident; so, repeatedly hitting the drum of disdain became painful after the first 8hrs. The editor should have reigned it in!
The last point I should make is that there are probably more than 30 important topics for consideration in this book. All of them are worthy of your clock cycles to consider, understand, and discuss with your friends and family. When coupled with some of the other topics I like to read, such as artificial intelligence, I am at no shortage of discussion points to appreciate with a mint julep, a cigar, and a friend on the porch for at least 2 summers....but, I'll do it without my phone, or sensors of any type, nearby.

Erudite and important
I had originally expected much more mechanical account of the way in which Google and Facebook, and later Microsoft, learned to use data to craft advertising messages. Instead, the book turned out to be a thoughtful and philosophical work that reminded me in ambition to Thomas Pikkety's work and in content to the writing of Hannah Arendt. This is an important work that I desperately hope will catch the attention of policy makers and prompt an international framework of privacy and personal rights laws.

This should be required reading
While this book seems almost excessively long, I feel the information is soo important for the times we live in. The way data is being collected and sold with no one held accountable is disheartening to say the least. If we do nothing to stop it we are basically giving up our freedom to choose and even our rights as we become a sum of data collected defining who we are to the powers that be. They can then use the data to manipulate our behavior or deny certain privileges. I don't like living in fear but this book can cause paranoia knowing the current truth. I hope enough people learn this information and we can turn technology into a positive tool instead of a tool used to spy and manipulate.

Book Editors failed to trim the word count
A great topic, with a author that can explain it well ....making a convincing argument for regulation of corporate and goverment use of citizens personal data. However, the book editors were asleep at the wheel esecially in the second half of the book where the editors must have just thrown in the towel and moved on to the next book ..... I can not imagine how excesssively wordy this book was before the final edit?? ..... this is a 6 hour story .... that wanders aimlessely between excess and irrelevant details while trying to make a very concise point.
It reads like the book was written by an author who has spent a career in academia and government, written like she felt that she was preaching from a pulpit of what she believes will be the legistlative bible on consumer data of the modern economy ..... she even invents some of her own proprietary phrases ....with little regard for reader's time, not many business readers will finish this 24 hour sermon ..... 18 hours of dramatic soap box preaching and excess detail around its 6 hours of unbiased actionable information.
By the end of book you will want to strangle Shoshana each time you hear the narrator drone on with:
1. ubiquitous
2. modernity
3. instrumentarian
4. conceptual
5. who decides-who decides
6. unprecendented
7. dispossession
8. personal autonomy
9. inalienable right to the future tense
10. survelliance capitalists
11. neoliberal
12. collectivist orientation
13. facsist
14. any and all
15. human freedom
16. hierarchical complexities
17. radical indifference
18 organism among organisms
20. data surplus
21. existential
22. equivalance without equality
Good information - way too verbose
This book has so much good information, but it really needs a good editor. There was way too much repetition and the episodic flowery prose was distracting. This book is good, but it needs to be shorter and less of a burden to listen to.

Takes too much time to communicate simple points
I really tried hard hard to get into this book, but the author uses way too many words to communicate somewhat simple points. If you are looking to kill some time and like hearing an author ramble on using as many big words as possible, then this book is for you. I couldn't take it anymore and returned it.
lacking in content
overly alarmist with little substantiative content. the author has a poor understanding of machine learning and ai's actual applications in the field of surveillance and offers little to substantiate what she alleges to be a dramatic shift in the world's economic zeitgeist. barely any discussion on the technological underpinnings were offered, nor any actual, real life illustrations or examples. instead, the book offers a full-blown serving of conspiracy theorising in lieu of any serious treatment of the subject matter.

Horrendously Rhetorical
The basic ideas in this are interesting, but the author writes with such thick rhetoric from a specific ideological position that she makes those ideas unnecessarily overcomplicated. It comes across as an author writing more for herself and glorification of her own intellectualism than as someone attempting to communicate an idea. Terrible.
One of the most important books of the decade
I don't think it's hyperbole to say that this is one of the most important books in recent years. It lays out the case for a brand new type of capitalism that we are simply not equipped to grasp the short term, and long term, consequences of, and that affects us all in profound ways. And that's why I gave it 5 stars. However, that recommendation comes with a huge caveat. The author seems to take joy in writing in a style that seems more apt for a doctoral thesis in psychology. A book written by an Ivy League professor for other Ivy League professors. This verbiage is wholly unnecessary and borders on obnoxious.
Take for example a sentence like this: "This mental and emotional milieu appears to produce a virus of insecurity and anxiety that drives a young person deeper into this closed loop of escalating compulsion as he or she chases relief in longed-for signals of valorization."
Or how about this sentence: "It is a form of observation without witness that yields the obverse of an intimate violent political religion and bears an utterly different signature of havoc: the remote and abstracted contempt of impenetrably complex systems and the interests that author them, carrying individuals on a fast-moving current to the fulfillment of others' ends."
Make no mistake. This book is remarkably researched and thorough. The points it makes are exceedingly compelling and it contains information that everyone in this age needs to know. However, this book needs a complete re-write by someone more capable of communicating with a more broad audience. One shouldn't have to fight thought the unnecessarily complex sentence structures and pedantic language in order to digest the amazingly necessary message this book tells.
