Labrinth Talks to Zendaya About Creative Evolution and the Future of Euphoria
By Zendaya
Photographed by David Uzochukwu
Earlier this year, HBO's summertime hit Euphoria launched a small galaxy of stars into orbit. There was Hunter Schafer. Barbie Ferreira. Sydney Sweeney. The guy who plays Fez. And then, of course, there's Zendaya, already a very famous human when the show premiered last June, but one who, as the drug-addled teenager Rue, revealed an angst we hadn't seen before. But there was also another star who emerged during the Euphoria craze, who despite not appearing on screen once, left a profound imprint on the show's DNA.
Labrinth, the 30-year-old British musician, helped bring the show to technicolor life with his hallucinatory score that leapfrogged across genres, employing everything from crashing EDM drops to soaring gospel vocals. The result was a soundscape that helped make the show's highs higher and its lows lower. Labrinth, who's real name is Timothy Lee McKenzie, was an established London-based writer and producer when Euphoria creator Sam Levinson approached him to compose music for the show, having worked with artists like Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé, with whom he cowrote the song "SPIRIT" for the live-action The Lion King remake. Before his work on Euphoria made him something of a household name, Labrinth formed a supergroup with Sia and Diplo, releasing Labrinth, Sia & Diplo Present… LSD, a sign that he was ready to emerge from the studio and front his own projects. That came to fruition in November, when Labrinth dropped his first solo album in seven years, Imagination & The Misfit Kid, a collage of sounds and styles brought together by Labrinth's uncanny knack for melody and mood. It seems, for Labrinth, the stars are finally aligning, and as he told Zendaya over the phone last week, he's just beginning to set his "creative stardust." Call it cosmic.
LABRINTH: Hello, darling. You alright?
ZENDAYA: I'm good, how are you?
LABRINTH: I'm sweet, man.
ZENDAYA: I'm glad I get to interview you today.
LABRINTH: What the hell are you going to ask me?
ZENDAYA: I have some thoughts. Where you at right now?
LABRINTH: I'm in my studio in London that I made in my garden. It's a bit like a man cave-slash-studio. It's pretty dusty. There's cobwebs all over the place. There's spiders just crawling out every five minutes.
ZENDAYA: Cozy. That's where the magic happens.
LABRINTH: Exactly. I've got spiders helping me finish the record.
ZENDAYA: What are you working on right now?
LABRINTH: I'm working on music for season two of Euphoria.
ZENDAYA: Have you read anything?
LABRINTH: No, but Sam [Levinson] has been inundating me with music, just like, "Lab, check this out." I think he sent me like 20 tracks. I'm really excited because I get a chance to refine what I didn't do before, if that makes sense.
ZENDAYA: What could you possibly have not done before?
LABRINTH: I don't know. Have you ever looked back at some of the stuff you've been in and was like, "Next time I get a chance…"
ZENDAYA: Yeah, but it didn't sound like that!
LABRINTH: But you smash it, though. I'm looking at what you did, and I'm like, "If I can do that musically, then I'll be happy."
ZENDAYA: I feel like you did, because I remember the day that Sam came in and we were all on set, and he told us that you were going to possibly do the scoring, but that you're busy doing other things. And then he showed you the pilot and you got inspired. Then he played us "When I R.I.P." and literally, the whole cast went nuts. I've never experienced music that fit something so well. If we could turn our show into a sound, that is what it would sound like. We were all trying to get ahold of that song. Even now when I listen to the Euphoria soundtrack, it's such an emotional experience. There's songs I have to skip because it's too much.
LABRINTH: There's something about the way that he creates creativity and ideas that just instantly sets your creative stardust. And I feel like you get it.
ZENDAYA: I completely understand. There's some people that are just good at what they do, and make you want to try harder.
LABRINTH: Do you feel like it's mental? To become more in tune with what you are and what your true purpose or gift is, you almost have to be able to face yourself in the mirror and become more in tune with who you truly are. And then because you're doing what you're truly meant to do, it's going to be as beautiful as a bird flying, because that's the most natural thing for a bird. But to us, that looks like magic. When I see you doing your thing, it feels that natural to me.
ZENDAYA: What about the fan reaction? I would text Sam like, "Yo, everybody's freaking out. They want the rest of the songs." I knew they were going to do an album, but I was like, "Yo, that's so much work." You had to put together this massive album, and you told me that some songs just started as ideas that you would send over, and then you have to finish them.
LABRINTH: I was forced to finish some of them, because I advised everyone early on, "I'm kind of making songs as well, so people might want them." And they're like, "No, man, it's just a score." And I was like, "Okay, cool." And then Twitter and Instagram started going crazy. I was working on this song that I did for Beyoncé on The Lion King, and I was like, "Yo, everyone, this song for The Lion King just came out," and they're like, "Where the fuck is the Euphoria soundtrack?"
ZENDAYA: That's hilarious. I know your album just came out, and that's extremely exciting. I can't understand how you were able to do both at one time. I know that "All For Us" was your song that somehow became a Euphoria song.
LABRINTH: You helped me finish "All For Us." Sam showed me you guys working on it, but he was like, "Lab, we need the rest of this song." The story of Rue wanting to get clean and her trying to make sure she lives up to what her family and people want her to be, that made me go, "Okay, I know what this is."
ZENDAYA: Is there a sonic difference when you're scoring something versus a song that's for yourself? Do you embody a different character?
LABRINTH: Making music is the same as acting for me. So for me to embody a character, or a spirit of a person, to almost method act, musically—that's what happens to me. What would Nina Simone do? How would I do Nina Simone if I was Lab doing Nina Simone? But when I'm involved in different projects, I can feel the energy of that project. Euphoria, for example, was definitely that teenage intense pressure and heavy depression because of that pressure, the element of beautiful ugliness in that way of growing up. The song for The Lion King, that's a more pop, commercial record. So I feel like I take on different characters when I write these things.
ZENDAYA: What's cool about your music is sometimes it's genre-less. It's a fusion of eight different genres in one song, and I think that's really hard to pull off.
LABRINTH: I think that's been a hard thing for me, and I think film has been maybe the best home for my stuff. I've had records that are commercial, but commercial music is based off of demographic and scene. So for people to connect to a sound, sometimes it's about an energy, and if I'm just being this weird guy in the corner, it takes time for people to even understand what I'm doing. I'm okay with that, but that was really scary when I first started.
ZENDAYA: How long have you been working on the new album?
LABRINTH: I made an album before this album, and it didn't end up going out, because everything that could happen in that moment happened, and it was preventing me from being able to release music. I stopped fighting against the tide, and was just like, "Great, let me just let life go where it needs to go, and it will figure itself out." I had a lot of pressure, because I had success in Europe and Australia and other parts of the world, and so everybody was trying to capitalize on what I did. They were like, "Lab, stay in that lane. Keep doing more of that." But musically, I have ants in my pants, and that was scary for a lot of people around me. I had a lot of pressure to turn what I was doing into McDonald's. I ended up working on The Weeknd's album, I did some stuff on Ed Sheeran's album, me and Noah Cyrus wrote a record.
ZENDAYA: And then you felt like you were ready to do your own shit.
LABRINTH: Every time I tried to really get music going, it just wasn't working based on the circumstances, labels, all that kind of unnecessary stuff. And then I was just like, "Okay, cool, this is where life is right now. And then life was like, 'It's time now.'"
ZENDAYA: You evolved where you needed to.
LABRINTH: That journey helped me become confident and powerful in what I know I am.
ZENDAYA: Right.
LABRINTH: How do you feel about rolling back into Euphoria?
ZENDAYA: I can't wait. I'm literally counting down the seconds. Honestly, I'm going crazy.
LABRINTH: You've read the new scripts?
ZENDAYA: Yeah. I talk to Sam every other day. I read four scripts that are fucking brilliant. I don't know if you know this, but he wrote like four or five scripts, and then scrapped them all and rewrote everything. I talked to him yesterday for a few minutes, and then he's like, "Alright, I'm going to go get back to it." I'll text him, "Hey, just checking in. Hope you're good. What's going on? Can you send me anything?"
LABRINTH: The last time I spoke to him, he said he was going in. I know he's going in because he wasn't answering my manager, who's his good friend, and my manager was like, "Sam's just fucking disowned me." And I'm like, "Bro, he's doing his creative process. Don't worry about it." But he just doesn't get it, so he's crying right now.
ZENDAYA: When did you first start putting out music?
LABRINTH: I made an album when I was 17 with this kid, who was this wacky rapper-slash-indie artist. I produced his whole album. That's when I got my start. The album did terribly, but it wasn't even about me. It was just weird music. Even when I listen back, I'm like, what the hell was I trying to do?
ZENDAYA: That's funny.
LABRINTH: I remember the first time I heard my track on the radio, I was sitting in my local kebab shop, and I jumped out of my chair and was like, "That's my music!" And everyone was looking at me like, "Yeah fucking right."
ZENDAYA: When did you make your first shit that was just yours?
LABRINTH: On that album that came out seven years ago. I was producing first, then I started playing my music to labels, and pitching to other artists. At that time I also had a number one record in the U.K. with Tinie Tempah.
ZENDAYA: Right. And then between that, you did the LSD thing.
LABRINTH: After the long journey that we were talking about, I wrote a song with Sia, and we just really hit it off. We decided years later, "Let's get together and just write some more songs." We ended up writing 10 songs. And it was like, yeah, this is an album. And my manager was like, "You guys have pretty much written an album." And she was like, "I'd love to do an album with Lab." And I remember seeing Diplo at the Brits, and we swapped numbers like artists love doing. We love giving our numbers and saying, "Let's do something," and then never do it.
ZENDAYA: That happens all the time.
LABRINTH: Yeah, it's like, "Let's chop it up, baby! Let's get on a track!" And then everyone gets caught up in their lives, and it's gone. In that moment, Diplo was like, "Hell, yeah, I want to work with Sia. Hell yeah, I want to work with Lab." I don't know how he's in every studio in the world. It's just wild. That was the moment that was like, "You are free." Life said, "It's time now. We're going to the next phase." LSD felt like a celebration of the next phase of my life.
ZENDAYA: Do you prefer doing it on your own, or do you like being collaborative with people?
LABRINTH: I love both, but it depends on the artist. Sometimes in the studio with an artist, they're insecure, so it creates more ego in them. They sit in the studio, and it's like, "I don't like that. And I want this, and do that." And you're like, "This is not creative energy. This is ego energy." And anytime there's ego energy in the studio, I'm kind of like, "I'm out. I can't do it." I'm more inspired when the person is really creative and free, and mentally free. Then I'm in.
ZENDAYA: That's something we talked about, being able to be creatively free, and knowing that maybe not everything is going to sound perfect the first time around, and just keep throwing things at the wall until they stick.
LABRINTH: If we're talking about it from a magical point of view, if the magic and the stardust comes from the universe as pure as it is, then our pride and our ego and our social pressure edits that stardust because we're trying to save ourselves from failure or rejection. That's what I feel happens with music sometimes. You're preventing yourself from rejection, or, from a financial point of view, you're trying to prevent failure. So you're like, "I need to make a hit, and this isn't much of a hit, so I'm going to alter that stardust so it correlates with that world." I like to work with artists that are not afraid of abandoning that ship.
ZENDAYA: It's the same thing when it comes to being on Euphoria. There really is no other option but to be fearless and not edit yourself. I guess the difference is we're playing characters, and in music there's nothing to hide behind. But when you're acting a scene, if it's real and you're doing it right, it feels like it's happening. It feels like you're going through a new feeling, and it's just as personal, and you have to abandon the idea that maybe you look stupid, or all those, like you said, social pressures and ideas that you have about yourself.
LABRINTH: Have you ever felt like that?
ZENDAYA: Yeah. I guess you could say I'm a perfectionist. I like being in control of my surroundings, and I don't like to be embarrassed. I think that there's no room for that in art, to be worried about that kind of embarrassment. If you don't look crazy, then you're probably not doing it right.
LABRINTH: I love that you're saying that because that's something I'm really working on, to be fearlessly ugly, and not care, and just be fearlessly wrong and fearlessly stupid. To be beautifully uncomfortable. I enjoy that freedom and that peace in your head where you can be at your most uncomfortable, and still be at peace.
ZENDAYA: I feel like towards the end of Euphoria, I was just getting my groove. All of us felt that way. And as soon as we felt like we were in a groove, and it was like, we're in this shit, that was when it was like, "All right, we're done." That's why I'm excited to go back to it. The first season of going into Euphoria was me proving to myself that I could do it. And from now on, it's improving.
LABRINTH: That's what I was talking about earlier, the refinement. I've proven to myself that I can compose something. Now it's about refining it. And I'm excited about that.

Get Your Teaching Degree near Ionia MI 48846
How to Select a Teaching Degree College near Ionia 48846
One of the most important decisions that you can make when entering the teaching profession is to choose the right teaching degree program near Ionia MI. And because it is such a critical decision, high school graduates or future graduates must carefully evaluate the schools they are interested in attending. It is not enough to base a decision on proximity to your residence or the cost of tuition, although these are relevant factors to take into consideration. There are other important questions that you must ask as well before choosing a school, which we will cover in detail later. Prospective teachers may consider a wide range of degree programs and training options to qualify for positions that provide various levels of education to both adolescents and adults. And in order to pursue a teaching position beyond the preschool level in the United States, teachers must possess at least a bachelor's degree, and obtain state-issued certification or licensure. These are qualifications that we will also cover in more detail shortly. So first, let's talk a little bit about the degree options that are available for aspiring educators.
Degree Options for Educators
Most of the available teaching positions in Ionia MI primary and secondary schools require that applicants have earned at least a bachelor's degree to qualify. However, an individual with an interest in an entry level teaching position may qualify with just a two-year Associates Degree. The opportunities would be mostly limited to pre-school teaching positions, or positions as a teacher's aide or a child care worker. Following are some brief descriptions of the opportunities available for education graduates with higher degrees.
Although most teaching positions in the U.S. only require an applicant to possess a four-year degree, some Ionia MI teachers pursue a master's or even a doctorate degree in order to acquire a greater understanding of teaching, or to qualify for higher-paying jobs such as administrative positions. They may even pursue a higher degree simply to earn more respect from their peers. Depending on the degree program, a graduate student may conduct research; receive specialized training; or simply expand his or her knowledge of a specific field of teaching.
Teacher Certification and Licensing
If you are planning on a career teaching within the Ionia MI public schools system, know that in the United States you will need to become licensed in Michigan or the State where you will be employed. On the contrary, most private schools do not require educators to become licensed or even certified. Licensing requirements vary by State, but typically includes passing one or more certification or skill based tests. In most States the Praxis exams are used for certification, but some States do require their own State specific exams instead. Each State also has continuing education or professional development requirements for teachers to renew their licenses.
Attending an Education Degree School in Ionia Michigan?
Perhaps you live near Ionia MI or have decided to relocate or commute to that area. Following is some interesting background information about the location of your new school campus.
Ionia, Michigan
Ionia is the largest city in, and the county seat of, Ionia County, Michigan, United States.[6] The population was 11,394 at the 2010 census. Every late July (ending on the last Saturday of July and beginning 10 days previous) it hosts what is said to be the world's largest free-admission fair. The city is mostly within Ionia Township, with small portion extending into Easton Township and Berlin Township, but is politically autonomous of the townships.
Before Euro-American migration, this was the location of an Odawa village. The leader of the Odaw here was Cobmoosa. His people planted crops here in 1833 but when Dexter and his associates arrived, they sold these crops to Dexter and relocated to the Flat River. In the 1850s, they were relocated to Oceana County.[7]
This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. This region is also prone to dense and heavy fog, along with flooding (sometimes very damaging) due to the Grand River that flows through the city, during the spring. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Ionia has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps.[9]
Questions to Ask Teacher Education Programs
Prior to selecting a teaching degree school to enroll in, there are a few questions that you need to ask to ensure you pick the best one for your career objectives in Ionia MI. As we mentioned previously, the location of the school as well as the cost are important considerations when weighing your options, but they should not be the only ones you consider. Following are some additional questions that must be asked before making a final decision.
Are the Schools and Programs Accredited? Graduating from an accredited teacher school not only provides an assurance that you have received a quality education, but may also be an asset when securing that first teaching position.
Are the Programs Recognized by the Dept. of Education? In order to be a more sought after job candidate, make sure that the program you enroll in is recognized by the Michigan Department of Education, or by the State where you will be teaching.
Do the Schools Provide Licensing Exam Preparation? Graduates must become State Certified and Licensed prior to accepting any public teaching positions. Make sure that the school you enroll in helps prepare you for the exams required by Michigan or the
Choose the Right Teacher Degree School near Ionia Michigan

TO THE BAR!
Iowa-born, Nashville-based artist and singer-songwriter Hailey Whitters has shared the official music video for "Janice at the Hotel Bar," following a premiere with People yesterday. A standout from her critically-acclaimed album, THE DREAM, the track was named a "Song You Need to Know" by Rolling Stone and included in Paste Magazine's "The 25 Best Songs of 2020 (So Far)" list.
Watch the video for "Janice at the Hotel Bar" via YouTube: https://youtu.be/cN0qnHcwVjE
The video was directed by Erica Silverman, in partnership with creative director Harper Smith, and shot on location in Austin, TX.
"Given that this song was based on a real encounter with an 80-something-year-old woman named Janice, we felt it was important to keep it as rich visually as it is lyrically," Whitters explains. "Erica and Harper were able to capture the individual eccentricities that make up the collective female experience in living a life well-lived."
Recently, American Songwriter and Paste Magazine both spotlighted THE DREAM on their "Best Albums of 2020 (So Far)" lists, while SPIN marked "All The Cool Girls" on their list of "The 50 Best Songs of 2020 (So Far)." The Washington Post called THE DREAM "the year's deepest country album," and Pitchfork included it on a list of "Great Records You May Have Missed."
The video release follows a recent feature in Rolling Stone that announced Whitters' new partnership with Big Loud Records / Songs & Daughters – Nashville's first-of-its-kind female-driven label formed by Big Loud Records and BMI Songwriter of the Year (2019) Nicolle Galyon. Big Loud Records / Songs & Daughters will continue marketing and promotion of THE DREAM, which was originally self-released via her label Pigasus Records.

The Miracle of Metaphor: Rethinking the State of Exception with Rosenzweig and Schmitt

pp. 78-102
The Miracle of MetaphorRethinking the State of Exception with Rosenzweig and Schmitt
Bonnie Honig (bio)
For the word is mere inception until it finds reception in an ear and response in a mouth.
—Franz Rosenzweig, The Star of Redemption
The legal anthropologist Carol Greenhouse opens her book on time, A Moment's Notice, with a story recorded by Goethe, who, when traveling through Italy, observed a trial and took note of its peculiar timekeeping practices. A man seated at a desk held in his hand a glass sand bottle, a timepiece. It was not immediately clear what his purpose was. But Goethe soon noticed that as the prosecutor spoke the man kept the bottle lying on its side, its sands inert, and whenever the defense began to speak the man would turn the bottle upright and restart its sand flow. When the state spoke, time stopped. The defense, however, was subject to time.
The story accords well with the views of state sovereignty propounded by Carl Schmitt, who identifies sovereignty as such with the power to legally suspend law for a time by declaring a state of exception. For Schmitt, as for Giorgio Agamben, who works in his wake, the state of exception is that paradoxical situation in which the law is legally suspended by sovereign power. The ensuing condition is one in which we—or, rather, sovereign powers—are neither subject to law nor free of it but rather both, since the state of exception is itself a legal condition of alegality. Grounded in paradox—the legal suspension of law—and seeming well positioned to explain elements of the current political landscape that liberal and deliberative democratic theorists only criticize, Schmitt's "state of exception," I think it is fair to say, has captured the imagination of contemporary political theory.
I seek to loosen its hold on our imagination by pluralizing the particular political theology on which Schmitt's account is based and from which it draws sustenance. And I do so with the intent of highlighting the dependence of the so-called state of exception upon democratic energies and its vulnerability, therefore, to democratic action and resistance.
I begin by devoting sustained attention to Schmitt's metaphor for the state of exception—the miracle, noting that we may accept his metaphorization and yet be drawn by it to very different conclusions. Alternative conceptions of miracle, as we shall see, point not to singular sovereign ruptural power but rather to receptivity, popular power, and the importance of orientation in everyday life to divinity or sovereignty. For this alternative, I turn to Franz Rosenzweig's theology. Another implication of the work begun here is to lay the groundwork for questioning contemporary identifications of action with event and politics with singularity. I ask whether the metaphor of miracle, normally taken to mark extraordinary, ruptural, or inaugurative politics (as, for example, by Hannah Arendt), might not license instead a turn to the ordinary, away from rupture to the everyday, from transcendence to immanence (though, as William Connolly points out, the immanent can also be ruptural [Pluralism] and, as Eric Santner points out, the rupture sought by Rosenzweig's new thinking is one that would return us to a different ordinary [On the [End Page 78] Psychotheology of Everyday Life and "Miracles Happen"]). Motivating this exploration is an intuition: that contemporary political theory's debates about whether political action is best seen as ordinary or extraordinary, ruptural or rule-governed, may be a reiteration of earlier debates in political theology about the status of the extraordinary—god and miracle or divine agency—in the ordinary human world. Mindful of that reiteration, and with the help of Rosenzweig's "new theology," we may rechart our course and see opportunities to rethink emergency politics in the state of exception in more democratic terms.
A Secret Conversation?
In Political Theology, Carl Schmitt, the soon-to-be-lapsed Catholic legal thinker who would later become jurist to the Nazi party in 1930s Germany, claimed that all significant political concepts are reinhabitations of theological concepts and should be treated as such. In The Enemy, an intellectual biography of Schmitt, Gopal Balakrishnan points out this is an overstatement...

Q: Mean of data with uncertainties and confidence interval My question sounds rather simple, but sadly I have not been able to find an answer online (which is rather strange as this seems very basic, so I apologize if I simply haven't looked well enough)
The problem is as follows: You have $N$ measurements $x$, and each $x$ has an error in it, so for example $x_1 = 0.21 \pm 0.04$. What I'm looking for is a measure for the mean that takes these error bars into account. My first thought was to use the formula for propagation of uncertainty

Now this gives you an indication for the error of the mean. But how would one combine this with the notion of, say, a confidence interval? For that you would look at the standard deviation, right? I don't see how one would incorporate the errors in that.

A: If the random variables $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ are independent and normally distributed with mean $\mu_i$ and variance $\sigma_i^2$ (i.e., standard deviation $\sigma_i$), then the sum $$
  S_n = X_1 + \ldots + X_n
$$
is normally distributed with mean $\mu = \mu_1 + \ldots + \mu_n$ and variance $\sigma^2 := \sigma_1^2 + \ldots + \sigma_n^2$. Thus, the average $$
  A_n = \frac{1}{n}S_n
$$
is normally distributed with $$
  \text{mean } \bar\mu = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n \mu_k \text{ and variance } \bar\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{k=1}^n \sigma_k^2 \text{.}
$$
Now say you have a series of measurements with error intervals, i.e. a sequence of intervals $$
  \left((l_k,u_k)\right)_{1 \leq k \leq n} \text{.}
$$
We are going to interpret that as $X_k \in (l_k,u_k)$ with probability $1-\alpha$ for some fixed $\alpha$ you get to pick. Instead of a sequence of intervals, we can also view this as a sequence of centers $x_k$ and error bounds $e_k$, i.e. simply set $$
  x_k = \frac{l_k + u_k}{2} \text{ and } e_k = \frac{u_k - l_k}{2} \text{.}
$$
This then matches you notation of the $k$-th measurement being $x_k \pm e_k$.
If we now assume that all the $X_k$ are normally distributed, we can determine these distributions parameters $\mu_k,\sigma^2_k$ from the $x_k$ and $e_k$. We set $$
  \mu_k = x_k \text{ and } \sigma_k = \frac{e_k}{\textrm{erf}^{-1}(1-\alpha)\sqrt{2}} \text{.}
$$
This then yields, as we required, that $P(l_k < X_k < u_k) = 1 - \alpha$. Note that if you set $\alpha \approx 0.32$, you get $\sigma_k = e_k$, because the probability of $x$ lying further away than one standard deviation is about $0.32$ for the normal distribution.
We can now compute the mean $\bar\mu$ and standard deviation $\bar\sigma$ of the sample average $A_n$, using the formulas from above, which were $$
  \bar\mu = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^\infty \mu_k \text{ and }
  \bar\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{k=1}^n \sigma_k^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n \sigma^2_k} \text{.}
$$
We can turn this back into an error interval by finding $\bar e$ such that $P(\bar\mu - \bar e < A_n < \bar\mu + \bar e) = 1 - \alpha$. This yields $$
  \bar e = \bar\sigma \sqrt{2} \textrm{erf}^{-1}(1-\alpha) \text{.}
$$
If we put it all together, we get for measurements $x_k \pm e_k$ that the average is $$
  \left(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n x_k\right) \pm \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n e^2_k}\right)  \text{.}
$$
Note that the result is independent of the $\alpha$ we picked, and thus holds for every $\alpha$, i.e. every assumed probability that the true results lies within the error interval. Also note that the error bound decreases as $n$ increases, but not linearly but with factor $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$. Thus, to half the length of the error interval of the average, you need to quadruple the number of measurements.

Should Other Businesses Follow in the Footsteps of Starbucks and include Racial Awareness in their Training?
With the upcoming racial awareness meetings scheduled to take place at all of the Starbucks locations on May 29th, the question arises as to whether this approach will be effective longterm and if so should it be incorporated into other corporations as a regular on the job training for their employees.
James Jean-Lewis, 30, Photographer and resident of Hillside, NY who was seated in his local Starbucks close to home at the time says that he is not necessarily a regular of the franchise but does go from time to time for the tranquil environment that it offers so that he can work on his craft.
"I really do not think that boycotting Starbucks is the answer. I do not think what happened at that particular location is a reflection of Starbucks as a brand. Since it is a private-owned company, boycotting each individual one won't really make an impact. It might actually just cause a disservice to individuals in the community that work there and you do not want those honest everyday worker's job to be on the line who have nothing to do with that situation," says James Jean-Lewis.
In reference to the video showing the two black men being arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks location, he expressed a unique take on the situation while relating it to his own everyday experience.
The Starbucks incident with the two black men taken away in handcuffs was followed by a slew of other similar situations. There has been a very prevalent pattern of viral videos posted on media platforms such as NowThis and Facebook where restaurants, in particular, have been exposed for negative encounters that appeared to be racially fueled.
Jean-Lewis says he advocates for boycotting when necessary and strategically thought out. Moreover, he feels that decreasing spending in food chains and places that will hurt the big business owners directly will cause more of a lasting response and ultimate solution. He adds that as a community we should be more determined and unified in our demands for social change.
"If we are going to really make a difference, then we have to be consistent. There should not only be outrage when these things happen and then eventually we lose interest. There has to be more support for our own community and making a conscious effort to effect change," Jean-Lewis says.

The destiny of Les Riceys
The destiny of Les Riceys is deeply intertwined with viticulture. Over the centuries, people have worked to shape its landscape, tending the hillsides and using the stones to build houses in the village, then cadoles amongst the vineyards. The people of the Domaine Alexandre Bonnet are attached to its terroir and history. They respect nature by showing patience and humility.
Patience is the cornerstone of WISDOM
The vine is my lifeblood; I've lived here since I was a small child, and I know the slopes by heart. This is my home, yet I'm always amazed by the glory of nature. If you respect nature, you will receive the best. My bond with the Domaine is shared by everyone who works here, most of whom are from the village or the local area. We even have two seasonal workers who have been with us for 40 harvests!
Didier Mêlé, an oenologist trained in Dijon, has been Vineyard Manager at the Domaine since 2000 (following Alain Bonnet). He was born in Bar-sur-Seine to winegrower parents, and grew up in Les Riceys.
From quiet trails to the pools of the Sun King
When the vineyards of Les Riceys were planted, the inhabitants began bringing earth from the valleys to the sloping hillsides. They then returned to the village with the limestone they had collected from the vineyards. As the years went by, these stones were used to build houses in Les Riceys. Later, the reputation of local stonemasons spread, and dozens of them were tasked with building the foundations for the pools in the park at Versailles. They were nicknamed the "canats", from the French word "canard", meaning duck, because they were constantly wading through the mud from the ditches. It is said that they had taken a barrel of rosé wine from Les Riceys, and that the king had tasted it. Apparently Louis XIV greatly appreciated this wine, and it became very popular throughout the country.
Earth was brought UPWARDS Rocks were brought DOWNWARDS
Stone shelters
These stones – known locally as "murgers" – were taken from the soil in the vineyards and used to build houses in Les Riceys. They can also be found in the low walls running in between the plots and, from the 18th century, in the famous cadoles. Built by arranging dry stones in a circular pattern echoing Celtic constructions, cadoles served as shelter for winegrowers to protect them from rain, extreme cold or extreme heat. They are found only in the Les Riceys area of Champagne, and were gradually abandoned by the end of the 19th century, when phylloxera devastated the vineyards and angry, poverty-stricken growers were forced to leave their vineyards behind. Some cadoles are still standing in the wooded areas that have replaced the parcels left unplanted. Determined to pass on this legacy, Alexandre Bonnet has already renovated three cadoles around the Domaine.
Shelter for winegrowers, nestled within the vines
The wild orchid and the robin
The landscape of Les Riceys is unique in its diversity, the extent of its relief and its circular layout, with 200 km of winding pathways. The vineyard is made up of many small slopes that rise steeply from narrow valleys. The south-southeast facing slopes, where Pinot Noir thrives, are known as "l'endroit". The opposite sides, known as "l'envers", are topped with small conifers, and this woodland area provides welcome protection against cold air. With its beneficial microclimate, the terroir of Les Riceys is home to some incredible birds and flowers. In the spring, thousands of wild orchids mysteriously unfurl their many coloured petals all around. In the summer, the chirping of robins, goldfinches, blackcap warblers and great tits can be heard in response to the sounds of people working in the vineyards… Domaine Alexandre Bonnet strives to preserve and develop this biodiversity by choosing not to use herbicides or insecticides, by planting orchards at the edges of its vines and by leaving wild flowers to grow for honey bees.
In the spring, thousands of WILD ORCHIDS mysteriously unfurl their many coloured petals all around.
The vines also thrive in the hearts of winegrowers
During the French Revolution, Les Riceys was the second-most populous village in the Aube department, and produced a much-loved rosé wine. When the vineyards were destroyed by phylloxera at the end of the 19th century, a rural exodus ensued. "We growers are not leaving our vines, our vineyards are leaving us," they said.
Determined and united in devotion
Courageous, united and determined, the people of the Aube rose up in 1911, their sights set on obtaining the Champagne appellation. It was finally granted in 1927, and Les Riceys became the largest terroir in all of Champagne, with 844 hectares of vineyards. Domaine Alexandre Bonnet is part of that history. In 1934, Lucien Noble began growing his first vines. He shared his enthusiasm with subsequent generations right through to 1970, when Serge Bonnet, assisted by Alain and René, founded the Domaine Alexandre Bonnet. The team is now in the capable hands of Arnaud Fabre, who keeps this shared devotion alive among the winegrowers of Les Riceys, to love and bring out the exceptional characteristics of this incredible terroir.
"Just like fine food, wines reflect the character of the person who makes them. Whether that's in the vineyard, or the direct expression of the grape variety or parcel in the bottle. Winemaking is an individual and a team undertaking, I am always in awe of the relationship between nature and growers. I do my best to express the essence of the terroir, but ultimately, almost everything is in the hands of nature!"
Alain Pailley, Oenologist and Cellar Master at the Domaine since 1985 (following Serge Bonnet), born in Dienville, his parents were farmers and he was trained in Dijon.

After configuring a job that uses the Extensible Choice Parameter plugin, I noticed that Jenkins automatically decided to override the Default Choice value from <Top Most Value> to an empty String. It looks like the defaultChoice tag is being added between configuration changes. I have multiple variables that use this plugin in the same job, but it only seems to affect one (The first parameter).
This happens when you save the configuration before the configuration page is loaded completely.
Values for "Default Choice" are loaded dynamically and "Default Choice" gets empty before they are loaded.
I'll see whether I can resolve this issue.

Dubai prepares for Universal Expo: 25 million visitors expected from October 1 to March 31
Bill Dittman July 19, 2021 4 min read
Despite the setbacks, Expo 2020, which has not been renamed "2021", is the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (Mesa) region. It is the largest event ever organized in the Arab world and wants to be the largest international gathering of the year.
Always more
Always high, always luxurious, always innovative, always "bright" எப்போதும் Dubai's ambition to attract tourists and entrepreneurs from all over the world seems boundless.
The world's tallest tower, the world's longest automatic tramway, the world's largest artificial island, the world's largest shopping center, the world's largest fountain … three international airports, free zones' 100% tax deduction for income or profits … hard to roll the red carpet .
It works: the city-emirate population, about 3.5 people, now consists of more than 90% foreigners, Has 30,000 French foreigners and is the regional headquarters for the majority of CAC 40 companies. Not to mention the civilized influencers in the middle of the desert, skyscrapers and the social networks of Lamborghinis and their Eldorado.
The countdown is in motion: in precisely 130 days, theDubai World Expo Its doors will open to the public. One year after the initial schedule, the Govt-19 epidemic is forcing it.
For now, the site, located south of the city next to Al Maktoum International Airport, is still a major construction site where hundreds of workers work seven days a week. The task is enormous: in the long run, on about 440 hectares, each of the 192 countries represented will have their own pavilion. A few months ago, it was a vast place, nothing but a burning desert with no construction and no road infrastructure.
See also Egyptian Farmers Syndicate: Donkeys are on the verge of extinction
Once the work is completed, visitors should take a full view: each pavilion will be an architectural achievement that showcases the knowledge and qualities of the country it represents through exhibitions and events. The United Arab Emirates is undoubtedly a building representing a Balkan (symbol of the country) aircraft.
City and United Arab Emirates – Dubai is a city, but one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It is located in the Persian Gulf and faces Iran. Most of the emirates are occupied by the Rab al-Khali Desert, one of the largest in the world.
Alcohol and Monogini – You feel safe in Dubai, but beware of misconduct: the city is covered by cameras and certain behaviors such as drug use or drinking and driving are severely punished. And there is no doubt about practicing monogini on the beach.
Up to 50 degrees – Be careful, it will be very hot in Dubai. During the months of June, July, August and September, the temperature fluctuates with 50 peaks above 30 to 40 degrees. January "cold" month: 15 to 25 degrees Rainfall is rare.
The theme of the exhibition is "Connecting the Mind, Creating the Future". It wants to celebrate and use the official language elements, "Mankind's Recession, Creativity, Culture and Discovery, especially through major technological advances in medicine and science".
The site, which is already directly accessible by taking the world's largest fully automated metro (60 km without a driver), is divided into three districts: the first for broader mobility, the second for sustainable development, and the third for opportunities for individuals and communities. "Be the actors of the better future". Between two crackers, it takes about two days to get around.

The France Pavilion is over
Done. The France Pavilion is now complete. After two years of work. The main purpose of this building is to have a large terrace that offers a unique view of the entire site: Promoting French skills working in the field of sustainable development ; Develop the charm of the country; Participate in economic recovery by helping companies to capture new markets.
The pavilion will host a permanent exhibition covering 1,000 m² and will provide visitors with a "walk in the history of progress". Five temporary exhibitions are planned (cinema, tableware, etc.).
Expo 2020 is the unnamed "2021" despite the setback The first World's Fair in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (Mesa). It is the largest event ever organized in the Arab world and wants to be the largest international gathering of the year.
More than 25 million viewers are expected from around the world in six months. 80% of them are tourists and 20% are traders.
Tour Express
How to get there – The flight from Dubai to Paris takes about 6.45 hours. Blue Voyages offers several options for Expo 2020. Its offers are aimed at tourists and professionals who can take advantage of this trip and grow their business. The company exemplifies its fifty years of experience in organizing corporate events, business trips or leisure. It has established close ties with companies serving the UAE and hotels located near the exhibition.
It offers packages including visit to the exhibition and discovery of the city from 24 to 29 January 2022 and 21 to 26 February 2022. Information: 04 72 76 75 66; [email protected]; www.bleu-expo.fr.

Getting out of bed every morning is a real drag. We know it shouldn't be, but it is. And sometimes it takes more than just a potent cup of coffee to kick our raggedy butts into gear.
That's where minds wiser than ours can really be of use. No, we're not referring to some hippy dippy self-help drivel (well, not intentionally anyway). No, this is about getting ready to face the day, the literary way.
"You know, there are two good things in life, freedom of thought and freedom of action."
"The weak man becomes strong when he has nothing, for then only can he feel the wild, mad thrill of despair."
Peril, loneliness, an uncertain future, are not oppressive evils, so long as the frame is healthy and the faculties are employed; so long, especially, as Liberty lends us her wings, and Hope guides us by her star.
"Do not just seek happiness for yourself. Seek happiness for all. Through kindness. Through mercy."

DOWN TOO DEEP by J. Daniels
Find it here:
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository | Down Too Deep
A Picture Perfect Summer
Seriously, there is nothing sweeter than reading about amazing children in books. I'm such a sucker for them. And these kids... top notch!
The blurb for DOWN TOO DEEP summarized events quite succinctly, so I'm gonna delve into how this story made me feel. Soooo good!! Between Nathan finding his love for life again, learning about his daughter, falling more in love with her than ever, how could I not feel absolutely incredible while reading this book? Add in Jenna and her huge heart, precocious children, unparalleled generosity and kindness, and it was almost too easy to give this story all the stars.
To me, romance stories should be about beautiful characters and their impossibly beautiful journey to love. With this story, J. Daniels delivers and I can't recommend it enough!!
Fans of Christina Lauren and Colleen Hoover will love this sexy and emotional fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Dirty Deeds series.
After his wife died two years ago, Nathan Bell has neglected his responsibility to his baby daughter, letting his parents raise her while he loses himself in his work. But when his parents give him an ultimatum, Nate needs new child care... fast.
Jenna Savage can see the pain Nate is in and how much he desperately wants to connect with his daughter. It's not a problem at all for the single mom to watch his little girl along with her own two children. Soon, Jenna can't help but fall in love with Nate and the family they seem to be building together, but can the career-driven, guilt-ridden man look beyond his heartbreak and learn to love again?

Q: The recorded sound from microphone is very fast I am using Kazam to record videos. But when I see the video I notice that the recorded sound is much faster than I speak (like 10s turned back to 2s). I tried RecordMyDesktop software but still the same problem. Sometimes it works normally but not the same sound that was fast.
I tried to change fps from 15 to 5 or from 15 to 30 but still the same. I am recording with the microphone of a webcam (see the image below). Of course I am not using "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo". All the details are in the screenshots below.
Sorry for my bad english.

In this episode, Meiko proves to be the embodiment of every kid who wanted to be a digidestined and have their own partner Digimon. Only the real version, not the kid you pretended to be in your fanfics.
With no real action to speak of in the first half of the movie, it's not like we needed any downtime to slow the pace. But it's been a tense ride so far, so it doesn't hurt to have a bit of levity heading into the final battle. Then, now that everyone else has their say in the Meiko situation, her own words and the particular aspects she struggle with emerge. While the source of the grief is questionable and some of her conversations don't pack as much punch as they could, we now have the fullest picture yet- of the digidestined many of us would be, but the one none of us want to be.
It isn't informative the way the establishing scenes of movie one or the bathhouse trip in movie two are, but tri. hasn't forgotten its purpose of allowing these characters to express themselves while having fun. Takeru's insistence on telling scary stories comes out of the blue and the nature of it is a little too structured for our purposes, but there's plenty to enjoy. Yamato being unable to handle it is a fitting twist on his character, gives the others plenty to whisper about, and shows off his neat tic of picking bass lines in a panic. Everyone oversells Meiko's story, but it does remind us how her childhood is so foreign to the eight. Small towns are creepy, and even a descriptive account of a true story is enough to give them chills, even if the creepiest thing about Tottori was probably Meicoomon herself.
The first few movies did their damnedest to integrate Meiko into the group. Coexistence isolates her and shows that no matter how much the others insist on including her, she's different. While others make sweet, comforting calls to their family, Meiko's dad is all business, leaving her assuring him that the others are taking care of her and apologizing for letting Meicoomon loose. Her accent is another sign of her being an outsider. She won't even use it around her father or Meicoomon, much less the local digidestined. When she speaks aloud to herself differently than she speaks to anyone else, we have to deduce that she's not comfortable being herself around others. Usually this is where the Digimon partner comes in to open her up and mentor her through this sort of stuff. That Meicoomon never did was an early warning sign.
Ever imagine yourself with a partner Digimon? Someone that would be your pal for life, help make you a better person, and could seamlessly integrate into your regular routine without major incident? That's the genesis of Meiko Mochizuki- the desire for a partner with no strings attached. And unlike Tamers, where crowded city life and frequent wild ones tested them early, conditions were ideal for Meiko to stay blissfully ignorant of the implications of having this partner. Also unlike Tamers, where the whimsy of the digignomes made so much happen, there's always a reason for this sort of thing. Now that she's realized she had been tasked to keep Meicoomon balanced, she feels like a failure and wonders why she would be chosen for something that impossible without knowing it.
When Taichi overhears this conversation, he isn't able to help much. His musings about children and adults being able to perceive different, independent things are worth pondering, but isn't that relevant to Meiko's problem. Meiko's in a serious existential crisis and needs guidance, not philosophy. She's got Mysterious Man's taunts about how she never should have been born in her head too. Considering how dismissable so much of that guy's ranting has been, this particular one landing goes somewhere a little darker than we needed. Just having her question why she was chosen is sufficient; no need to make her question why she's alive. It sets Taichi off, ending the therapy session early and sending him off to his own. While Agumon's simplistic mentality was appropriate enough for BlackWargreymon overthinking his fate, it feels totally inadequate for more tangled problems like Meiko and Taichi's. At least his assurance that he likes both Meicoomon and Meiko was affirming enough.
Not that it helped. Once Meicoomon invades again, Meiko still doesn't have an answer. Hikari had told her to be Meicoomon's hope, but Meiko only wants to take her share of the blame. She can tell Meicoomon is scared, backed into a corner by eight strong Digimon, plus Jesmon once Homeostasis insists on taking care of the matter itself. While her stand in Loss insisted she'd love Meicoomon no matter how awful she was, now she demands the reverse- for Meicoomon to let her have it for being an awful digidestined. Bold gesture, but it's not at all hopeful, nor does it do anything to calm Meicoomon down. They're both awful messes. In that situation, most of us would be.
Hikari's line about not grasping the reality of something unless it's in front of you is not only thoughtful, it may help offer some explanation to why they aren't treating the situation with the 02 kids with as much urgency as they perhaps should. They have enough on their plate to worry about right now, and since it isn't in front of them, using Maki's half-answer as an excuse to not deal with it feels like an uncomfortably human rationalization.
Just as they did when they ran from the police, arousing extra suspicion, they all follow Taichi's lead when Daigo wants to move them to a hotel. Mimi, Yamato and Joe all say they'd rather have nice beds and showers (and no more scary stories) but all go along with Taichi without much objection.
Even with few words, there's so much character in the phoning home scene. Mimi and Sora support each other, Yamato's still uncomfortable talking to his mother, and Mrs. Yagami is more concerned about the Digimon than Taichi. To her, it's Taichi's job to protect them and Hikari. Let's keep that in mind.
So not only does tri. throw in little bits of ship bait for random pairings, now it's even getting meta as the Digimon wonder if they need to alert their partners that Taichi and Meiko are talking alone.
The annoying nonstop evolution sequences in Loss made the use of a mass split screen here that much more satisfying. Not that it excuses the endless evolution sequences in Loss.

Labels: Meiko, movie, that's suicide, tri.
It seems that Takeru wants to use the scary stories to lighten the mood, since all the Digidestined were depressed by the words of Hikari.
Why this is a little too structured?
Hikari's line about not understanding a tragedy unless it's before you is very powerful and kind of took me by surprise. It's definitely one of the more memorable lines from tri.
Meiko's conversation with Taichi convinced me she's supremely depressed. She is, as you say, an awful mess. It makes her all the more tragic and frankly pretty relatable. I'm glad the writers "went there" so to speak but as for *how well* it's handled... well, I think I'll need to rewatch part 5 and probably wait on part 6 to get a proper answer on that.
As an aside Juri in Tamers was very similarly traumatized & depressed, and I think it was written quite well.
"Mrs. Yagami is more concerned about the Digimon than Taichi. To her, it's Taichi's job to protect them and Hikari."
This is probably the whole foundation of the relationship between Taichi and Hikari. I wouldn't be surprised if, since the time Hikari ended up in the hospital "because" of Taichi, Mrs. Yagami had been subtly guilt-tripping Taichi into looking after his sister.

Katherine Anne Porter Remembered
Darlene Harbour Unrue
American Writers Remembered Series
Katherine Anne Porter Remembered is a collection of reminiscences and memoirs by contemporaries, friends, and associates of Porter offering a revealing and intimate portrait of the elusive and complex American writer.
From a fractured and vagabond girlhood in Texas, Porter led a wildly itinerant life that took her through five marriages, innumerable love affairs, and homes in Colorado, New York, Paris, Mexico, Louisiana, California, and Maryland. With very little formal education, she grew through sheer force of will to become a major American writer of short stories and the author of several books including Flowering Judas and other stories; Ship of Fools; Pale Horse; Pale Ride; Noon Wine; and The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter, which won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.
Because of Porter's own dissembling and half-truths about her life, as well as the numerous factual errors that persist in biographical entries and literary dictionaries, a complete and accurate portrait of her life has been hard to establish. The 63 reminiscences gathered in this book paint a vivid portrait of Porter and are testaments to her extraordinary beauty, her gift for mesmerizing and charming audiences and friends, her yearnings for a lasting home, her delusions about love, the astonishing range and scope of her reading, her sharp tongue and vindictiveness, and her final paranoid renunciations of friends and family. Along the way, Porter formed friendships with Eudora Welty, Elizabeth Hardwick, Flannery O'Connor, and Cleanth Brooks whose remembrances of her are included in this volume.
Darlene Harbour Unrue is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She is author of Katherine Anne Porter: The Life of an Artist, and editor of Katherine Anne Porter: Collected Stories and Other Writings.
"Darlene Unrue's collection of reminiscences of Katherine Anne Porter is a marvelous book and its value is absolutely clear: the first-hand accounts of Porter's acquaintances not only fill in biographical gaps of Porter's life but also, even more significantly, give the reader a sense of who Porter really was behind all the masks she wore. It's really a great collection that only gets better as it goes along. The closing entries, describing Porter as she approaches death, are utterly remarkable, wrenching and inspiring at the same time."—Robert Brinkmeyer, author of The Fourth Ghost: White Southern Writers and European Fascism, 1930-1950, Remapping Southern Literature: Contemporary Southern Writers and the West, and Katherine Anne Porter's Artistic Development: Primitivism, Traditionalism, and Totalitarianism
"In this valuable collection, 52 contributors remember Porter (1890-1980) at various stages of her restless life, from her childhood in Texas to her final months in a Maryland nursing home, where a friend sang Pale Horse, Pale Rider to comfort the author as she died. Half of these essays appear here in print for the first time (eight were written specifically for this volume), including transcriptions of interviews conducted by Unrue (Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas) for her excellent biography Katherine Anne Porter: The Life of an Artist (CH, Mar'06, 43-3912a). Many of the reminiscences were originally published in newspapers and literary journals or in autobiographies by such Porter acquaintances as Josephine Herbst, a novelist and activist. Unrue also reprints intriguing letters by Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, but equally fascinating are accounts by the lawyer and the personal assistant whom Porter fired, victims of the 'oddly selective animosities' that followed her strokes. Unrue divides the reflections into seven chronological parts, beginning with 'Texas and Colorado, 1890-1919' and concluding with 'Texas and Maryland, 1974-1981.' The collection is enhanced by a list of 'additional reminiscences' and by photographs of Porter and many of the contributors. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers."

We had a wonderful time spending our family Thanksgiving in Destin! We cannot say enough about Charity and 360Blue. Charity went above and beyond to make a special vacation for our family of 9. We look forward to using 360Blue again!
We are so happy to hear how much you loved your stay with us in Destin at Villa Coyaba! We are equally as thrilled that your experience with Charity and 360 Blue was a positive one and we can not wait to host you all again soon!
We had the best time ever. We had 9 family members in our group and made memories that we will cherish forever. We loved the condo and it is decorated beautifully. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making this feel like our home away from home.
This is the most precious photo ever! We couldn't be more happy that you and your beautiful family had such a wonderful vacation at Villa Coyaba! Thank you so much for staying with 360 Blue and we can't wait to have you back again soon!
We like Villa Coyaba very much. Great facilities, location. Our unit was decorated and furnished with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Hopefully the unit will be kept up.
Like the parking garage convenience, however, the light on the ceiling wasn't working well. There seemed to be a liquid dripping from the ceiling that took some spots of paint off our car.
Maintenance was very good about taking care of request and keep the pool area nice.
Thank you for choosing 360 Blue and Villa Coyaba! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay on the Emerald Coast. We hope to see you back soon for your next beach getaway!
We absolutely loved this condo. Very spacious, beautiful view, fully furnished with everything you could need, perfect location, private, and so much more. We didn't even want to leave the condo/pool/beach because it had everything we needed. Would totally recommend and would for sure stay here again. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room and never felt crowded.
What a great group photo! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us at Villa Coyaba so thoroughly! The pool, beach and condo facility really do have everything you could need during your stay! Thank you so much for choosing 360 Blue, and taking the time to share your experience with us. Come back and see us again soon!
Great location on the beach; close to anything you'd want from groceries, golf, shopping, rainy day movies, or dining out. We have been staying at Villa Coyaba for 5 years and love our experience each time. Rooms are always very clean and 360 calls you constantly to ensure everything you need is taken care of before, during, and after your stay. Would highly recommend the room and the service provided.
What a gorgeous photo! You truly captured the beautiful views from this property! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us so thoroughly. Thank you so much for choosing 360 Blue and taking a moment to share your experience with us. We look forward to helping you plan your next stay with us!
