Didier Drogba, Jason Johnson and Solomon Asante scored in the Phoenix Rising FC's first home playoff game, a 3-0 win over Portland Timbers FC 2 on Friday at Phoenix Rising Soccer Complex.
Despite the blowout victory for Phoenix's first-ever playoff win, the team started the game off slow until Drogba jump-started the team with a laser free-kick goal.

"We weren't playing really well in the first half and for (Drogba) to hit that free kick the way he did, he kind of put the team on his back and he got us that victory," manager Rick Schantz said.
The strong offensive team that set a team record for regular-season goals this season may have started slow partially because of the game plan to focus on defense.
"As a defense we said, 'If we keep it at zero (goals) we're not going to lose,' " goalkeeper Carl Woszczynski said. "That's our goal through today and the rest of the playoffs."
'That's the loudest I've heard the stadium'
Schantz and the team was very impressed by the support from fans. The Rising set a team attendance record mark with 7,511 fans.
"That's the loudest I've heard the stadium, ever," said Woszczynski, who has been on the team all four seasons.
"The crowd was unbelievable," Schantz said. "The least we could do, and I told the players is to die on the field tonight, I thought everyone gave 100 percent to the cause. We had guys out there that weren't really 100 percent fit, but it's the playoffs."

Depending on the playoff match between the Sacramento Republic and Swope Park Rangers on Saturday night, the third-seeded Rising will either travel to face No. 2-seed Sacramento for their next match or stay at home to play the No. 7 seed Rangers in the USL quarterfinals on a date to be determined.
"I would like to see Swope because we get to be able to play in front of these fans again and that'd be pretty awesome," Schantz said.
The No. 7-seed Swope Park defeated No. 2 Sacramento last Saturday 2-1, so the Rising have earned another home match.
The Rising will host Swope Park on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Become a better writer with MS Word's writing tools
By Tempesta Media on	 February 19, 2017 Software, Technology
Microsoft Word helps writers in more ways than just spell checking. There are other not widely known tools in Microsoft Word designed to help the writer. For example, there is the thesaurus that will suggest a substitute for a word you enter that may more precisely convey your intent. You can also set word hyphenation to break your longer words at the end of a line. (The tendency of Word to hyphenate excessively can be distracting, which is why most writers prefer not to activate automatic hyphenation.) Microsoft Word also has a word count capability (in its Tools menu) that is obviously handy, if word count is important to you.
Then there is the grammar and style checker that will help you out as you write. In Microsoft Word, a green underline shows the "offending" text with alternate suggestions. For example, if the program detects a sentence fragment or disagreement between subject and verb the magic green line will appear. The problem with the grammar checker is that it is somewhat cranky and often wrong. Most accomplished writers do not rely extensively on this sometimes-annoying tool, but you should leave it activated because it does detect things like passive voice writing and added spacing.
♦ For those larger, more ambitious projects, Word has advanced features.
For those preparing larger documents with many sections requiring a table of contents and an index, Microsoft Word has some rather slick and instantaneous large document management tools. You can automatically generate a table of contents, but you must first know how to activate the somewhat complicated "styles" tools. The advanced user can insert special fields to generate the table, but it is almost more trouble than it is worth. Indexes require some additional learning, but they are definitely worth the trouble.
♦ Use Microsoft Word's readability stats.
Finally, there are two not widely known writing tools that show so-called "readability statistics." You must check "Show readability statistics" in the Spelling and Grammar dialog box (under Tools) to activate this. After you activate this feature, do a complete spell check after you complete the document. A dialog box appears with word count and paragraph length averages.
The readability statistics display in the same dialog box and show the number of passive sentences in the document (passive sentences are normally considered not so clear as active ones; e.g., "I threw the ball" is active; "The ball was thrown by me," is passive.) Also appearing is the "Reading Ease" rate (the higher the number up to 100, the better) and the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level formula. That's school grade. Experts recommend targeting your writing to around the 8th grade level. (This article has a reading ease of 52.5 with a Flesch-Kincaid grade level of 10.0.)
♦ Microsoft Word's tools are just technical aids.
Albert Joseph, whose how-to guide "Put It In Writing!" (p. 104), summarizes computer-writing tools by posing this question:
"Will computers ever write for us? If writing is one's thinking put on paper, a better way of asking that question might be: Will computers ever think for us? Would we want them to?"
So it's clear: You have to do the thinking and organization that goes into the creative process of writing. Microsoft Word's great writing tools allow you to poke and prod to find flaws and oversights that every writer misses.

Let us make 1 thing clear. There are just two cigars known as Cohiba. One will be Cuban, another one Dominican. There is a massive legal battle that has been raging for many years, but we are not getting into this. Our aim here will be to distinguish the features between both Cohibas. I will begin doing this while enjoying an extremely pleasant Cuban Cohiba Robusto, possibly the most frequently well-made shape from the Cuban Cohiba portfolio and also a favorite of aficionados through recent years.
In 2010, Cohiba formally unveiled one of its exclusive cigars ever. The cigar obtained extensive reviews in the time of discharge which range from over-priced into the ideal cigar that the widow had tasted. I know that if a cigar is priced at the maximum end of the purchase price range for a specific item, there'll often be bitterness connected with this. On the other hand, the truth they're priced at the"exclusive" finish is possibly why they're always sold out two decades following their launch. Among the greatest cigars to come from Cuba in a very long time can also be among the very, if not THE most expensive to emerge the Isle and consequently, individuals will have varying views, often erroneously, due to the price.

CHAPTER I - FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
PART 170 - FOOD ADDITIVES
§ 170.10 Food additives in standardized foods.
21 CFR § 170.10 - Food additives in standardized foods.
(a) The inclusion of food ingredients in parts 170 through 189 of this chapter does not imply that these ingredients may be used in standardized foods unless they are recognized as optional ingredients in applicable food standards. Where a petition is received for the issuance or amendment of a regulation establishing a definition and standard of identity for a food under section 401 of the Act, which proposes the inclusion of a food additive in such definition and standard of identity, the provisions of the regulations in this part shall apply with respect to the information that must be submitted with respect to the food additive. Since section 409(b)(5) of the Act requires that the Secretary publish notice of a petition for the establishment of a food-additive regulation within 30 days after filing, notice of a petition relating to a definition and standard of identity shall also be published within that time limitation if it includes a request, so designated, for the establishment of a regulation pertaining to a food additive.
(b) If a petition for a definition and standard of identity contains a proposal for a food-additive regulation, and the petitioner fails to designate it as such, the Commissioner, upon determining that the petition includes a proposal for a food-additive regulation, shall so notify the petitioner and shall thereafter proceed in accordance with the regulations in this part.
(c) A regulation will not be issued allowing the use of a food additive in a food for which a definition and standard of identity is established, unless its issuance is in conformity with section 401 of the Act or with the terms of a temporary permit issued under § 130.17 of this chapter. When the contemplated use of such additive complies with the terms of a temporary permit, the food additive regulation will be conditioned on such compliance and will expire with the expiration of the temporary permit.

Patent & Technology Litigation
In today's information-based economy, companies increasingly find themselves in court to defend or enforce their patent and technology rights, making it more important than ever to have experienced trial lawyers well versed in the intricacies of this area of law.
O'Melveny's patent and technology litigators have the legal skills, technical knowledge and industry experience needed to help clients achieve their goals in the most demanding intellectual property disputes. For decades, we have prevailed in technology-intensive, must-win cases. One of the keys to our strong track record is our ability to explain the underlying technologies at issue to judges and juries. We litigate patent and technology matters in forums around the nation, both at the trial and appellate levels, including Section 337 proceedings before the International Trade Commission. We also coordinate and supervise parallel proceedings outside of the United States, to resolve patent and technology controversies that increasingly traverse countries and continents.
We successfully defended Broadcom against allegations that it infringes four patents owned by American Radio LLC involving reconstruction of radio frequency signals. Read

I like football,Do you like?
I like football,Do you like?With the opportunities and success so many Niagara players have had at Guelph, cheap jersey there has been a steady stream of recruits from the region who want to be part of that tradition. Among the nine Niagara recruits in the 2012 recruiting class is an elusive, big-play receiver. In fact, Michael Prytula of Welland's Notre Dame College School had a spectacular 2010 campaign.The 5'11″ 175-pound wideout recorded 11 receiving TDs, 3 punt return TDs. The Fighting Irish went 8-3 in Niagara's highly competitive A league and Prytula was the team's Rookie of the Year.
You will see his 2010 highlights (below) are full of big plays.In 2011, Notre Dame had another solid season, 7-2. Prytula was a marked man as defenses were focused on shutting him down. He still picked up 347 receiving yards, two receiving TDs, two 2-pt conversions and a punt return TD.
While his offensive opportunities may have been limited, Prytula made up for it with big plays on defense including 5 INTs. Back in grade 10 Prytula was the Junior team's MVP. He also won a district championship while playing soccer for the Irish and he suited up for the Irish basketball squad this past season.

Scaling Synthesis
The goal of this research project is to find data structures and interfaces that support synthesis and innovation in a decentralized discourse graph... Welcome to our living hypertext notebook. This notebook will continue to evolve going into the future and is by no means a finished product- as such, pages exist at varying stages of completion. https://scalingsynthesis.com/
Authored By:: P- Rob Haisfield, P- Joel Chan, and P- Brendan Langen
see (2021-08-23) Chan Sustainable Authorship Models For A Discourse-based Scholarly Communication Infrastructure
Project Mission and Impact
Through our research, we plan to generate insights and questions that enable the creation of decentralized tools for networked thought that improve the thinking of all participants
Every practitioner is learning a lot through their work, connecting the dots. Many of them use a personal knowledge management system in some form or another. Practitioners don't have a proper feedback loop to update the academic knowledge base, and barely even talk to each other. What would happen if we unleash the knowledge of individuals and groups into a decentralized knowledge graph built to facilitate synthesis? How can that technology and behavior be actualized? (Webs Of Thinkers And Thoughts)
If we are to create a decentralized knowledge graph, we have to figure out a structure that doesn't break if individual people don't manually tag information consistently and honestly.
Pages have prefixes in their page titles that indicate what type of node it is:
"C- " Claim
"Q- " Question
"R- " Resource
"I- " Idea.
(Why didn't they use IBIS classes? Also, see Designing Good Page Names)
C- Synthesis as a process is usefully modeled as a specialized form of sensemaking
While the most common manifestation of synthesis is an academic literature review, the underlying cognitive processes are not so different from what people do all the time: sensemaking.
Sensemaking as a model of a core cognitive process has a long history in cognitive and information science. We draw specifically on a family of models that describe sensemaking as an iterative search for representations of input data that can make some task easier.
There are likely to be key differences between synthesis and sensemaking, and other everyday tasks of sensemaking, due to the nature of the inputs (complex research papers, theories, findings) and the nature of the output (a boundary-pushing novel conceptual whole with no obvious precedent). These differences are likely to be consequential for understanding precisely what data structures and user interactions can optimize sensemaking for synthesis.
Note: Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models used for classification of educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. Synthesis involves building a structure or pattern from diverse elements; it also refers to the act of putting parts together to form a whole or bringing pieces of information together to form a new meaning. Its characteristics include: Production of a unique communication; Production of a plan, or proposed set of operations; Derivation of a set of abstract relations.
C- Effective synthesis is necessary for innovation and scientific progress
The advanced understanding from an effective synthesis can be a powerful force multiplier for choosing effective studies and operationalizations,1 and may be especially necessary for problems where it is difficult or impossible to construct decisive experimental tests.
To illustrate the power of synthesis for accelerating scientific progress, consider the example of Esther Duflo, who attributed her Nobel-Prize-winning work to the detailed synthesis of problems in developmental economics she obtained from a handbook chapter in R- How to Find the Right Questions. Indeed, scientific progress may not even be tractable without adequate synthesis.
C- Synthesis is hard to do with people who don't share context with you
Synthesis involves individuals putting together many pieces in their minds, but It is often argued that synthesis occurs in a single mind. In our research, surprisingly few participants had distributed synthesis experiences to share. Why?
In the early stages of synthesis, when people have half-baked ideas not ready yet, they prefer to work on their own or with a close companion.
the primary concern is being able to work at the speed of thought.
when he reads a paper, he only takes notes on what is relevant for his current projects. While he does have rigorous processes for taking notes on a particularly juicy paper, he finds that often C- It is difficult to predict whether structure now will be worthwhile later
Thus, we see that shared context is critical to distributed synthesis
But there is a very significant barrier to team-based convergence because of this bottleneck of not being able to have a shared "dataset" of ideas that satisfy the properties (context)
two categories of solutions to enable synthesis with others:
Connect people who share context.
Design mechanisms to help people gain context quickly.
A promising direction would be through enhanced composability, see C- Hypertext enables communication with high information density for more detail.
C- Discourse graphs could significantly accelerate human synthesis work
An exciting hypothesis that motivates this work is that making discourse graphs widely available could accelerate human synthesis work, and thereby accelerate innovation and scientific discovery.
consider a researcher who wants to understand what interventions might be most promising for mitigating online harassment.
which theories have the most empirical support in this particular setting? Are there conflicting theoretical predictions that might signal fruitful areas of inquiry?
The answers to these questions cannot be found simply in the titles of research papers, in groupings of papers by area, or even in citation or authorship networks. The answers lie at lower levels of granularity: the level of theoretical and empirical claims or statements made within publications
claims that interrelate in complex ways, both supporting other claims/theories that are in tension with each other.
our researcher will also need to work through a range of contextual details. For example, to judge which studies, findings, or theories are most applicable to her setting, she needs to know key methodological details
she would need to know, for example, which findings came from which measures (e.g., self-report, behavioral measures), and the extent to which findings have been replicated cross authors
A discourse graph as a data structure has key affordances that are hypothesized to enable just these sorts of synthesis operations.
Note that discourse graphs need not be represented or manipulated in this visual format; the underlying graph model can be instantiated in a variety of media, such as hypertext notebooks, and also implicitly in various analog implementations that allow for cross-referencing
Beyond the theoretical match between the kinds of queries scientists need to run over their evidence collection for synthesis, a discourse-centric representation that encodes granular claims instead of document "buckets" could facilitate exploration and conceptual combination.
At the same time, constructive and creative engagement with contextual details, is thought to be necessary for developing novel conceptual wholes from "data", such as in sensemaking, systematic reviews, or formal theory development
Discourse graphs (or parts thereof) could also significantly reduce the overhead to synthesis through reuse and repurposing over time, across projects, and potentially even across people
keyword search is only really useful when there is a stable, shared understanding of ontology: this condition is almost certainly not present when crossing knowledge boundaries
In these settings, judging that two things are "the same" is problematic and difficult task; doing so without engagement with context can sometimes introduce more destructive ambiguity, not less, a hard-won lesson from the history of Semantic Web, ontology and classification efforts.
Q- What is a decentralized discourse graph
Our research draws from a long line of information models,
These models share a common underlying model for representing scientific discourse: they distill traditional forms of publication down into more granular, formalized knowledge claims, linked to supporting evidence and context through a network or graph model.
We use the term discourse graph to refer to this information model, to evoke the core concepts of representing and relating knowledge claims (rather than concepts) as the central unit, and emphasizing linking and relating these claims (rather than categorizing or filing them).
So what does it mean for a discourse graph to be decentralized?
Synthesis has many component parts. Given that, C- The responsibilities required to produce synthesis can be split up among many people. refers to this concept as human computation
Some will simply read everyone else's outputs and annotate them, all the while meaningfully connecting the conversation between the various fields they explore
When we look at prior attempts at building a semantic web, we find that the primary reasons have to do with human behavior and dishonesty.
C- It will be important to capture the potential energy of information consumption
if we can really leverage tacit annotation by enriching the choice architecture with options that add value, then we can perhaps fill in metadata and generate discourse. This could be interpreted as a response to the question: Q- How do we increase the frequency of social tagging behaviors. These people can verify information, agree with it, disagree, and connect it to other information.
there is exhaust to capture from consumption
C- Most people will primarily consume information
Statistics over the years cite a 90-9-1 rule to contributors in online communities, and although that does not hold up across all communities, the majority of people fall into the consumption-only group (90%).
How can you lower the barriers for someone to meaningfully contribute?
Synthesis is supported by active reading, and a number of tools assist with this.
C- Incrementally processing notes is a key user behavior to promote synthesis
the word processing refers to the act of going through old information and sorting it, either into new groups, by importance, or by stage in some pipeline (digital gardening)
C- Synthesis is supported by Active Reading, and one method of active reading is the act of progressive summarization (as coined by P- Tiago Forte)
Tools like Readwise, LiquidText, and Hypothesis promote this act within their via annotations, highlighting, and focused views to gradually process notes.
C- Compression facilitates synthesis
Synthesis is creating a new whole out of component parts. But what should the "parts" look like? What kinds of building blocks would facilitate synthesis?
blocks that are too "large" or complex would make reassembly into a new whole impractical (composability)
Decomposing ideas into smaller pieces (atomic note) also enables us to connect ideas in richer and more meaningful ways
It is important to distinguish atomicity from compression - in creative thought, it is less about decomposition in the atomic and disconnected sense, and more about flexibly using compression to move between different levels and states of "granularity".
C- Hypertext enables communication with high information density
Incrementally processing notes is a key user behavior to promote synthesis. In doing
C- Compression facilitates synthesis and hypertext facilitates compression
When Evergreen notes are factored and titled well, those titles become an abstraction for the note itself.
Hypertext structured in this manner is excellent for exploratory search.
When you have read much of a person's work in a well structured hypertext notebook, you can build a rich mental model of their thinking.
C- People process complex information in multiple levels and stages of processing
in the moment a note is created, it is very difficult to know where it belongs. We may not yet have a name for what we're seeing or know how it relates to another insight
The primary models that represent this process are the Learning Loop Complex and the Notional Model of Sensemaking, which loops between and within foraging and sensemaking loops (iterative), progressively increasing in structure and effort
This all speaks to the need to treat notes as a work in progress.
In the process of synthesis, we often write a number of notes about an idea - some useful, some not. We know that C- Multiplicity facilitates synthesis, and this writing process helps, but it creates a huge amount of noise for us to later search through.
Forgetting is powerful.
While this multiplicity is generally useful during the process of thinking through an issue, later down the line reviewing it contributes to the feeling of wasted repeated effort.
Additionally, over the course of a decade, I'll certainly update my beliefs and mental models. If that happens, I'll have to ask myself, "Is it important to keep a record of my beliefs at that point in time, or is leaving it in my database weighing it down?"
Q- How do we solve the problem of different people referring to the same concept with different language?
One time I was in a conversation with P- Andy Matuschak on Twitter, where we ended up having a conversation through our notes. He linked to a note about what we can learn from game design, and then I linked to a note about the learning curve that's commonly seen in puzzle games, and then he linked to a note about cognitive scaffolding. It was interesting because I had actually encountered his thought about cognitive scaffolding before, but I hadn't drawn the connection that we were talking about the same thing with different language!
could be worse, you could be using the same term for 2 different meanings!
Jump solves for this by explicitly encoding a thesaurus into its logical relational structure. While this may not account for all areas of innovation, it's certainly a head start. This seems like false progress, as it pretends there's more "agreement" than is real (is-ism).

George H.W. Bush Reportedly Alert And Talking After Hospitalization
Former President George H.W. Bush was admitted to a Houston hospital Sunday after an infection spread to his blood.
Article by Katherine Biek
Former President George H.W. Bush is alert and talking after he was hospitalized for an infection earlier this week.
Bush went to a Houston hospital Sunday after an infection spread to his blood. A day later, a family spokesperson said the 93-year-old was "responding to treatments and appears to be recovering."
Bush's wife, former first lady Barbara Bush, died April 17. Her memorial service was held over the weekend, and George H.W. Bush surprised dozens of well-wishers and shook their hands during a public viewing.
Bush's spokesman said the former president wants to get healthy so he can travel to his house in Maine this summer.

This teacher is so excited to be here! Your child and I are going to have wonderful fun learning adventures together. I am thrilled to see that my students are excited and happy to be here every day. I am truly blessed with this class. I promise I will do my best to ensure your child has a loving, rigorous, challenging, and nurturing experience this year, coming out confident and well-prepared for middle school. I will treat each one as if they were my very own. Trust me - I am already super attached to them.
Neveah, Sara, and Jonah rock the Marshmallow Challenge.
Castle Ball. Look at that throwing arm!
Painting in Mrs. Moreno's room is messy fun.
Students are welcome, actually encouraged, to keep water bottles at their desks. We don't have a specific snack time, but students may have a snack whenever they wish - as long as it isn't a distraction. We eat lunch really early, so most are hungry in the afternoon.
Thank you for signing and sending those brown envelopes back each Monday. I think it is a good way for us to stay in touch. Please know that everything in that folder isn't necessarily entered as a grade. Sometimes it is just independent practice I send home for parents to see if their child is understanding a concept.
I try to give my students homework for the week on Monday so they can budget their time throughout the week. I know they have extremely busy lives outside of school, and while I truly believe reading, math review, and study in science concepts are important tasks, I also know students need to spend quality time with their friends and families. Hopefully the homework laid out ahead of time will help them learn to balance things out. After assignments are collected, we usually go over them in class with partners, in small groups, or together as a class. It is a valuable way to review and for your child to be able to quickly evaluate his or her own progress and to discover mistakes or misconceptions and correct them. It is imperative that they begin to take ownership in their learning and to know that when they struggle with something, we will work together and they will be successful. Mistakes are not failures but should instead be used as learning tools. Grades from homework come from student participation. A student will receive a score of 100 on a homework assignment if it is evident that student has put forth his or her best effort, even if the work has been done incorrectly. Homework not turned in on time will receive a score of 0, unless there is a note from a parent explaining extenuating circumstances.Students will be learning from assignments we go over in class. If they don't participate because they didn't complete their work, they are wasting class time. At the end of the nine weeks I average all homework grades for one homework score, entered in the grade book, that will affect the final grade in each subject area.
Your child's three ring binder is my very calculated attempt to help him/her learn to stay organized. Look through it often. The front pocket holds homework. The first section holds pages from their planner with assignments and important dates written down. There is a section for literature response. Currently it holds the second week of a reading log. ( I will collect them every fourth week for a score.) Students are working on a 15-book challenge to encourage them to try some different genres. The science and social studies sections will hold notes and study guides as well as tests (as the year goes on) for students to use for study.This will most likely be the first year your child will be asked to study and prepare for tests (beyond spelling tests of former years). Please help them with this learning process of studying for tests.
I have been so proud of the way many of our fifth graders have stepped up to help out our kindergarteners this year. Their teachers are so grateful! As you know, our assistants lost an hour of their day this year and fifth graders have stepped in and helped the little ones get to class, get their breakfasts, opened their milks and juices, cleaned up spills and tears as well. I know you are as proud of them as I am.
Fifth grade will bring many new challenges and privileges (which come with responsibilities and independence) for our students. I look forward to a wonderful year together. If you have any concerns or questions for me, I am an email away. I am happy to meet with you or talk with you any time (provided I am not teaching at that moment :)) I will always get back to you at the end of the day if you email me - either by emailing or calling you back.
We work hard here, but we play hard too.

"I'm doing my own projections"
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo pleaded with the federal government to ship at least 30,000 ventilators that may be needed by the time the coronavirus outbreak peaks later this month or early next month, but Trump recently said he doesn't believe the state will actually need that many and he has refused to deliver them.
Trump did not come to that conclusion on his own, however, according to Vanity Fair.
Jared Kushner, who is more or less running the show (not Mike Pence) according to their reporting, told Trump that New York won't need that many ventilators based on his own projections.
Jared Kushner, who's often been in competition with Trump's chiefs of staff, continues to be the central West Wing player, leading a shadow coronavirus task force that is more powerful than the official group led by Vice President Mike Pence. In conversations Kushner has blamed HHS Secretary Alex Azar for the criticism Trump has received, according to a person in frequent touch with the West Wing. "This was a total mess," Kushner told people when he got involved last month. "I know how to make this government run now," he said, according to a source. [...]
Kushner encouraged Trump to push back against New York governor Andrew Cuomo after Cuomo gave an emotional press conference during which he said New York was short 30,000 ventilators. In a White House meeting around this time, Kushner told people that Cuomo was being an alarmist. "I have all this data about ICU capacity. I'm doing my own projections, and I've gotten a lot smarter about this. New York doesn't need all the ventilators," Kushner said, according to a person present.
Jared Kushner is not an epidemiologist, but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Governor Cuomo is in the middle of the world's epicenter. He has access to real-time information that even the federal government doesn't have and he's being advised by some of the most qualified people in the entire world. Jared Kushner, on the other hand, stayed up late last night reading whatever he was able to print off the internet.
In hindsight, maybe more effort should have been taken to oust Jared Kushner from the White House at some point over the past few years. In some ways he's even more unaccountable than Trump or anyone else is and he's contributing to death and suffering just the same. Kushner is actually an idiot, but there's no one around the White House who can say that because Kushner is Trump's son-in-law and personal handler.

As the death of Avicii showed, life on tour is tough, so how do other successful DJs master their work-life balance?
EDM superstars Fedde Le Grand, Andrew Rayel and ARTY speak to Meaww about their life off the dance floor and how they deal with stress while dropping some world-class beats
By Team Meaww
Updated On : 02:01 PST, Feb 18, 2020
DJ Avicii (Source: Getty Images)
Their world seems perfect to the outsiders. Playing music and being the essence of some of the biggest and best parties in the world. Their lives all flashy and fancy.
But all those lights and blinders literally keeps us in the dark about the downside or the toll constant producing and touring can have on an artist. Can a work-life balance really be achieved when one is touring across continents and clubs playing from dusk to dawn?
In an exclusive, we talk to some Electronic Dance Music (EDM) superstars about their life off the dance floor and how they deal with stress while dropping some world class beats.
Fedde Le Grand is the grandmaster of house music. For over 15 years the man has made people all over the world dance to his unique and uplifting tunes. From having his own radio show to having played at festivals such as Tomorrowland, Coachella, Electric Zoo and having remixed tracks of artists such as Madonna, Rihanna and Coldplay this man has done it all.
I now have strict rules on travel~Fedde Le Grand
The start of my career has been pretty explosive. Before I got a handle on how to pace myself things definitely haven't always been easy. But as you go you learn. I now have more strict rules on travel, meaning I know what my body can handle and when travel really is too extreme, leaving no time for rest for too long of a period for instance, then I will make some choices in which shows I can and can not do.
That's always hard, because you want to do all shows if you could, connecting with as many fans as possible. But the bottom line is you've got to take care of yourself first. So eating healthy and working out regularly are also very high on my priorities!
He started off his music career when he was just 13. Now at 26 he has over a million followers on social media who wait eagerly for him to drop his next beat. From underground clubs to mainstream festivals this man has made his presence felt with his originals and remixes.
Our brain is like a computer, overloading it with everything will lead to different types of crashes~Andrew Rayel
There are two types of days I can define in my life.
When I'm home I spend most of the day in the studio, letting my creativity flow and obviously there are lots of stressful moments when I have deadlines for tracks or when there are things that I don't like happening. To release that stress I usually watch something funny on YouTube or an episode of "Friends". Our brain is like a computer that can take a certain amount of information at a time, overloading it with everything will lead to different types of crashes, that's why once in a while, during the day, you need to restart it, and release all that unnecessary information. Watching something simple and funny works for me just fine.
When I'm touring we usually fly and travel a lot, that's why I try to rest and sleep as much as possible, everywhere and anytime I can. Taking a nap or a good sleep will keep your body in good shape and will save the energy for the important moments, when you have to make hard decisions.
Also staying in contact with your friends and family is very important and sharing everything that happened during the day. Every person needs an emotional connection, needs to know that someone cares about them and is waiting for them, otherwise you will feel lonely which will lead to even more stress!
Can you tell about the 'dark side of touring' (the cons/negatives) and how you balance work and personal life?
Touring can be very hard if you don't do it the right way. I don't drink alcohol anymore and eat very healthy, and I've noticed a dramatic difference in the way I feel. It's especially hard when you constantly change time zones, which makes you constantly tired and uninspired. If you do it long enough it makes you feel like nothing has a purpose and you're stuck in a spiral, doing things the same way every day. It's very important that you give yourself a break when possible and don't do anything related to music, just relax and think about other things.
It's also very important to understand and realize that you did all the best you could to make that show as it was, even if it was not perfect. These are some of the things which will make you feel more comfortable.
Twenty-eight-year-old Russian house music producer and DJ ARTY's interest in electronic music stemmed from his love from video games. At just the age of 14, he graduated from music school. Not many are aware that Artem Stoliarov aka ARTY also has a degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. But he decided to pursue electronic music and it did pay off well. He has collaborated with EDM giants such as Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond and Paul Van Dyk among others. At 28 he has already released one studio album and is on his way to conquering the EDM world.
It's really important to have caring people around you to help keep your feet on the ground~ARTY
At the age of just 28 you have achieved superstardom in world of EDM. How do you deal with all the fame, attention and the kind of pressure that comes with it?
I surround myself with family, friends and my incredible team. They are always supportive and help me get through a lot of pressure and stress, which inevitably comes with all of the studio work and touring. Also, I always remind myself why I make music in the first place; making music, playing shows around the world, and see happy faces in the crowd, brings peace to my soul inspiration and motivation to keep going.
How do you know when not to cross the line? (could be with anything work/partying)
I've definitely had moments when I felt like it was just too much. Either it's extremely long hours in the studio, or long hours of partying with no sleep. I could see how easy it is to get carried away. But I can only say that you need to listen to your body, and learn from the experiences you've had or seen. It's really important to have caring people around you to help keep your feet on the ground.


Sorry I haven't posted for a while but I have been working for my friend Donna at her JBF sale doing some data entry and it was a lot of work but I am finished now! YEAH!!!! If you don't know what JBF is then you have got to check out the Just Between Friends website and see if there is one in your area. I usually buy all of my children's winter/fall clothes right now at the sale and the summer/spring clothes in the spring and it's so much more economical then buying everything new. The clothes are inspected before they are put out so they do all the work for you. All you have to do is shop for some super cute clothes for your kiddos! I spent a total of $150 and my kids are super stocked up until the spring...unless Kylan grows another 4"(like he just finished doing) but I did buy some extra jeans that were the next size up just in case! They also have bedding, children's furniture, toys, books, homeschool supplies and more.
If you have children please take my poll!

What's In a Name? A Lot, When it Come to Signing Contracts
By Joseph A. White
The capacity in which a person signs a contract matters. The Georgia Court of Appeals recently reaffirmed this long-standing principle in the case of Courtland Hotel, LLC v. Salzer.
In Salzer, the plaintiff hotel sued an event planner after the company he represented cancelled a "My Little Pony" fan convention (uh, no comment on that). The event planner represented a company named "Convention Organizing and Leadership Team, Inc." He signed the hotel booking contract as the "Meeting Coordinator/Acting Chairman" of "C.O.L.T., Inc." The hotel sued the event planner, seeking to hold him personally liable for breach of contract because, it argued, no such entity as "C.O.L.T., Inc." actually existed.
The trial court disagreed, awarding summary judgment to the event planner. The Georgia Court of Appeals agreed with the trial court, affirming its decision. The appellate court observed that, in Georgia, when an individual "purports to act on behalf of a corporation which [does] in fact exist, the fact that the corporation's name [is] incorrectly set forth in the contract will not necessarily result in the imposition of personal liability against him." Since, in Salzer, the acronym "C.O.L.T., Inc." was merely "a misnomer that abbreviated the corporation's full name," the event planner could not be held personally liable for breaching the contract.
The Salzer decision is consistent with a number of recent cases in which Georgia appellate courts have refused to enforce contracts and/or personal guaranty agreements against individuals who signed the documents in a representative capacity. For example, in one recent case, the Georgia Court of Appeals refused to enforce a personal guaranty against an individual who signed the document on behalf of his company—even though the court recognized that a corporate guaranty of a corporate obligation was essentially meaningless. As that decision stated, Georgia courts will not "save a creditor from the consequences resulting from its failure to carefully inspect the guaranty to ensure that the proper 'personal capacity' designations have been made."
So contracting parties and creditors beware: in Georgia, personal liability will be imposed only when an agreement indicates that the parties intended for an individual to be bound. And that is not the case when an individual signs the agreement in a representative capacity on behalf of a company.
