Review: ECHOLOT – 'Volva' [Album Stream & Official Video]
By Fist | February 14, 2018 - 3:41 am | February 14, 2018 Album Reviews
Comments Off on Review: ECHOLOT – 'Volva' [Album Stream & Official Video]
Switzerland based power trio Echolot was founded in 2014. The band consists of Lukas Fürer (Guitar), Jonathan Schmidli (Drums) and Renato Matteucci (Bass). The band combines prog, stoner rock, doom and psychedelic rock all into one unique and complex sound. In April of 2016 Echolot released their first full length album titled 'I'. They kicked things off with an album release party alongside the amazing Swedish stoner rockers Goatess. The bands fresh jams have these psychedelic eruptions that drive you from the depths of doom into a Pink-Floyd type lightness. On October 6th 2017 the band released 'Volva' their debut on their new label Czar Of Revelations. 'Volva' is a 4 track full length album that comes in with a run time of over 55 minutes. The band says of the album "it will contain moments of fragility, heavy riffing, epic solos and some truly unique jams!"

Review: COLDCELL – 'Those' [Album Stream]
By John Sorrentino | December 10, 2017 - 3:18 am | December 10, 2017 Album Reviews
Comments Off on Review: COLDCELL – 'Those' [Album Stream]
From the smallest canton in Switzerland comes ColdCell, from Basel-Stadt. The five member extreme metal band, currently on tour after their release show earlier this month has a lot of upcoming shows. Five years ago in 2012 the guys came together and officially became ColdCell. Seems like two maybe a lucky number for the band, since every two years since the founding they have released a new album. Their debut album 'Generation Abomination' produced by Gravity Entertainment in October of 2013, being their longest album to date. Two years later the band released their second album entitled 'Low Life' in May of 2015 with just one less song, but from a new label Avanlgarde Music. November has been a very busy month for this out of the Swiss group with the release of their third album 'Those' on November 3rd 2017. This eight song album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Victor Bullock, over the course of three months in Germany at Woodstock Studio. The album was produced under the record label Avanlgarde Music. Don't forget to keep an eye and ear out for them with many big upcoming shows on their current tour with a stop at Road Fest 2017 this December. Continue reading →

AG Barr Calls Russia Probe 'Travesty,' Says He Will Prosecute Anyone Found to Have Broken the Law
Rusty Weiss Follow on Twitter April 13, 2020
Speaking with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Attorney General William Barr called the Russia probe of President Trump's 2016 presidential campaign "one of the greatest travesties in American history."
Barr was referencing an ongoing probe being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham into the origins of the investigation.
He noted that the President "has every right to be frustrated," calling the collusion witch hunt an attempt "to sabotage the presidency."
Could not load the poll.
"What happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history," Barr told Ingraham. "Without any basis, they started this investigation of his campaign. And even more concerning, actually, is what happened after the campaign."
"A whole pattern of events while he was president … to sabotage the presidency," he added. "Or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency."

People Will Be Prosecuted
Barr added that he doesn't believe these actions constitute simple mistakes. He warned that if people are found to have broken the law, "they will be prosecuted."
"My own view is that the evidence shows that we're not dealing with just the mistakes or sloppiness," the Attorney General revealed.
"There was something far more troubling here. We're going to get to the bottom of it. And if people broke the law and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted," concluded Barr.

About to Blow Wide Open William Barr Russia
Prior to Barr's interview with Ingraham, fellow Fox News personality Sean Hannity predicted we would see "major developments" coming out of Durham's review of the Russia investigation.
"There's so many developments with this deep state," said Hannity. "Wow. It's about to blow wide open."
Barr's comments appear to be indicating that it is indeed about to get interesting.
The Justice Department's inspector general Michael Horowitz issued a report in December stating the FBI did not act with political bias in conducting their probe.
Many Republicans were disappointed in the report, which seemed to provide ample evidence to the contrary.
In it, Horowitz excoriated former FBI Director James Comey for violating department policies in leaking FBI memos to a friend and instructing them to turn the material over to the New York Times.
It also accused him of setting "a dangerous example" and made it very clear that Comey took such dangerous steps "in order to achieve a personally desired outcome."
That outcome was to kickstart the entire Special Counsel investigation into alleged Russian collusion.
Bill Barr is deeply unhappy with the IG report, obviously. Wow. pic.twitter.com/3ArKaGBWwL
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) December 9, 2019
Former South Carolina senator Trey Gowdy responded to the report at the time.
"Horowitz says there was no bias in the inception," he explained. "There was a lot of bias from every point thereafter, including an FBI lawyer manufacturing evidence to get a surveillance warrant against an American citizen."
Gowdy opined that the actions undertaken by Comey's FBI were criminal in nature.
"If you're changing e-mails, manufacturing, altering evidence," he said, "not only do you not have any business being an FBI agent or law enforcement, you probably ought to be wearing an orange jumpsuit."
Do Barr's statements portend just that?

The SIVB Distinguished Scientist Award recognizes outstanding mid-career scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of in vitro biology and/or in the development of novel technologies that have advanced in vitro biology. The Society for In Vitro Biology honored Dr. Fredy Altpeter and Dr. Michael J. Fay as recipients of the Distinguished Scientist Award at the 2020 In Vitro Biology Meeting. Dr. Fredy Altpeter's Distinguished Scientist Award is highlighted in this issue of the In Vitro Report, and Dr. Michael J. Fay's Distinguished Scientist Award will be highlighted in a future issue of the In Vitro Report.
Fredy Altpeter, PhD
2020 Distinguished Scientist Award Recipient
Dr. Altpeter poses with past and present members of the Altpeter lab who reunited at the SIVB 2019 In Vitro Biology Meeting in Tampa, Florida.
Dr. Fredy Altpeter
It was with great satisfaction that we learned that Dr. Fredy Altpeter was selected to receive the SIVB's 2020 Distinguished Scientist Award. Dr. Altpeter is widely recognized as a world expert on the transformation of grasses/turfgrasses and the use of gene editing to enhance the production of value-added products. He uses a wide variety of tools that include precision genome editing, synthetic biology and molecular dissection of regulatory networks. His research focus is on identifying, isolating and engineering limiting factors for genetic improvement for biomass bioengineering grasses for the next generation of biofuels and chemicals.
Dr. Altpeter received his Dipl. Ing. Agr. degree (MS equivalent) in Crop Science in 1990; and a PhD. equivalent (Dr. sc. agr.) in 1994 in Plant Breeding & Biotechnology both from the University of Hohenheim in Germany. He was a very productive postdoctoral research associate with Dr. Indra Vasil in cereal transformation at the University of Florida (UF) from 1994 to 1997. He then served as Group Leader of a crop biotechnology team at the Plant Genome Resource Center of the IPK Gatersleben, Germany from 1997 to 2001. In December 2001, he joined the faculty member at the University of Florida where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2008 and to Full Professor in 2012. Dr. Altpeter's research focus has been on crop biotechnology.
To date, Dr. Altpeter has mentored more than 18 graduate students and supervised 25 postdoctoral research associates while at UF. Additionally, he has trained many undergraduate students and hosted numerous visiting scientists. Dr. Altpeter often introduces undergraduates to plant biotechnology research by employing them as undergraduate laboratory assistants on his numerous projects. Many of these went on to successfully pursue graduate degrees. Likewise, he has trained many graduate students who have become world-class scientists. One former doctoral student remarked: Dr. Altpeter was always in the lab and worked closely with his students. His desire was to be where the experiments were conducted and be always available to his students. He provided an experience that makes young scientists understand what it takes to be successful in life.
Eighty percent of Dr. Altpeter's assignment at the University of Florida is dedicated to crop improvement research while 20% is dedicated to teaching including the following courses: AGR 5307 Molecular Genetics for Crop Improvement; PCB 5530 Plant Molecular Biology and Genomics; AGR5321 Genetic Improvement of Plants; and AGR4320 Plant Breeding. Dr. Altpeter's consistently high student teaching and faculty peer evaluations over the last decade demonstrate his unwavering dedication to excellence in teaching. Students completing his courses consistently comment that he is a challenging but very fair teacher.
Others researchers have recognized his significant achievements. Dr. Altpeter received the University of Florida Research Foundation Professorship award both in 2013 and 2018. In 2018 he also was elected as a SIVB Fellow.
Dr. Altpeter has authored and co-authored more than 60 peer reviewed journal articles and 13 book chapters. The vast majority of the peer reviewed journal articles are with his students or postdocs as senior author. Many of these publications are in high impact journals like Nature Biotechnology, Plant Cell, and Plant Biotechnology Journal. In 2014, Dr. Altpeter was recognized with the University of Florida-IFAS High Impact Publication award. He actively promotes participation of his students and postdocs in scientific competitions. Obviously, he is an excellent mentor and guides his students and postdocs to conduct high quality and impact research. This is exemplified by his students who have won more than 40 awards including several from SIVB. Likewise, Dr. Altpeter has been awarded two patents and recently filed four more in the field of crop biotechnology. His research team pioneered targeted genome editing in sugarcane, a challenging crop with a complex genome. This included both targeted co-mutagenesis of more than 100 genes to obtain a loss of function phenotype, as well as precision nucleotide substitutions for gain of function. He succeeded in applying metabolic engineering to convert sugarcane into an oil-producing crop, a milestone that laid the foundation for the new Bioenergy Science Center funded with $115M by DOE.
Without question, Dr. Altpeter's professional service to the scientific community has been exemplary. He has served as an associate editor for The Plant Genome, Crop Science, Plant Cell Tissue and Organ Culture, Journal of Plant Biotechnology, and subject editor for Plant Breeding. Serving in many capacities, he has also been a very active SIVB member for more than 13 years. This has included serving on the Board of Directors for 2 different terms, SIVB Program Chair (2012 and 2018), Chair, PBS section (2010–2012), Chair, co-chair and Jr-chair of the PBS program committee (2007–2009). In addition, Dr. Altpeter has served on the Awards Committee, Long-Range Planning and the Membership Committees along with serving as the convenor of many SIVB research program sessions.
In conclusion, the SIVB Distinguished Scientist Award serves to recognize mid-career scientists who have made significant contributions to advance our knowledge of in vitro biology. Fredy Altpeter has become a world recognized scientist in crop biotechnology. He has effectively developed and applied transgenic, intragenic and genome editing technology for the genetic improvement of cereals, turf and biomass/bioenergy crops. The impact he has had on training students and mentoring young plant biotechnology scientists is unsurpassed. His unfaltering dedication to fulfilling the SIVB mission has been exemplary and serves as a model for all to follow. This is a well-deserved honor.

At PA Auto Credit, we do more than just help people with bad credit who are seeking a car loan in Philadelphia, PA. We also provide them with the knowledge that they need to start the year off right.
Read on to learn three reasons why experts agree that 2018 is going to be an excellent year for used car sales.
● Tax cuts will encourage used car sales. The new tax, cut signed on Dec. 22, doubles the standard deduction for families who are most likely to purchase a used car. The average income for a family who purchases a used vehicle is about $70,000, and experts anticipate that used car sales will spike following the implementation of the deduction.
● As new car prices rise, more will turn to used cars. The average American is not able to keep up with the rising prices of new cars. The average price of a new car is about $26,830, while the average price of a used car is $18,691, according to research by Edmunds.com. This is a difference of nearly $8,000. With budgets tightening every day, more and more consumers will choose to go with a used vehicle in 2018.
● Smarter consumers will save money with used cars. Consumers have never been smarter with their money as information becomes more and more available. It's now commonly known that when you drive a new car off the lot, it automatically loses about a third of its value. As consumers get smarter and look to save money and invest smarter, more will turn to used cars in the coming year. In fact, NADA forecasts that new-car dealerships will retail 15.3 million used vehicles in 2018, nearly 200,000 more than the previous year.
From a lower initial investment to lower depreciation, there are tons of reasons to choose a used vehicle in 2018. If you're looking to get into a new-to-you ride yourself this year, let PA Auto Credit help you get the financing you need to start the new year off right. If you have bad credit, you can turn to our team to help you receive the auto loan in Trenton, NJ that you need.

We recently got together with the dynamo that is Nikki Parkinson from Styling You to invite 90 gorgeous women to come and play with us at the inaugural Style + Champagne Event.
We hoped the the day would be fun. We hoped it would be a great way for our attendees to get together with their girlfriends for some great style and makeup tips, along with simple life hacks. And we hoped for a gorgeous high tea and buckets of chamapgne.
The day was all that and a whole lot more!
The day has been a long time coming for Nikki, Gillian and me. We came up with this idea last winter over a few glasses of champagne, and we've been working away in the background to make it happen ever since.
We also wanted to support our favourite charities Mummy's Wish and Dress for Success. And thanks to some amazing generosity from local businesses (you can check them all out on our Style + Champagne Facebook page), and to those who attended, we managed to raise $3000!
The wonderful Serena from Mummy's Wish and Stacey from Dress for Success.
A big fat thanks to our event partners Surafina and FRANKiE4 Footwear, and to MooGoo and Ruby Olive for supplying gifts for our guests.
And thanks to Darling & Co for being a spectacular venue for the occasion.
And an enormous thanks to photographer Helen Henry (Rhubarb Photography) who not only took beautiful photographs, but put everyone at ease and made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera.
We LOVED holding this event, and the enthusiasm of all that came along. And we know a lot of you wanted to come but couldn't get tickets, so we're in talks now about the next one. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.
If you want to be first in the know when the next event goes on sale, sign up to this email list here (we promise, we'll only use it for for future event purposes).
In the meantime, we thought you might like to see a few photos from the day.
So what do you say, will we see you next time?

Prince George Looks So Grown Up And Handsome In Symbolic Family Portrait
Prince George is turning into a handsome young man right before our very eyes. Since he was a baby, royal fans have oohed and aahed over pictures of this Cambridge cutie and we have to say, he has only gotten more adorable with age.
A special family walk
Prince George's pictures are almost always guaranteed to grab the attention of people. The six-year-old recently made a pretty big debut and it shows just how grown-up he's getting.
A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Dec 25, 2019 at 6:04am PST
On Christmas Day 2019, George joined his dad, mom, sister and other senior members of the royal family as they took their annual walk to church. This was reportedly Prince George and Princess Charlotte's first time joining their family on this walk. And it was clearly a pretty big deal.
Another big moment
It's a safe bet that 2020 will be a quite a year for Prince George considering how he kicked things off on Christmas Day. And to prove just that, the young royal made another interesting appearance, again with other members of his family.
On January 4th, the Kensington Palace shared a portrait that featured Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince George. According to the caption, the picture was taken and shared as a way to mark the beginning of a new decade.
A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Jan 3, 2020 at 2:06pm PST
In the picture, George looked very handsome. He is certainly growing up fast and he carries himself like a distinguished royal that he is. Also, we can't help but adore George's pair of trousers, especially considering that he's usually spotted wearing shorts.
In 2018, etiquette expert William Hanson told Harper's Bazaar that, among the English, it's traditional to dress young boys in shorts while "trousers are for older boys and men." If this theory is right, then the fact that young George is proudly rocking a pair of full-length trousers in this photo does speak volumes.
We Three Kings👑...the Queen plus Princes Charles, William & George pose for a formal portrait in BuckPalace's throne room to mark the new decade. As with all royal iconography, the symbolism is clear. This is the future (plus George's tartan trousers & PoW🏴 show Union strong). pic.twitter.com/jFMoct331M
— Emily Andrews (@byEmilyAndrews) January 3, 2020
And speaking of symbolism, royal expert Emily Andrews also weighed in on the possible significance of this portrait.
Andrews explained that the picture could be Her Majesty's way of distancing herself from the whole Prince Andrew debacle and focusing on who the important members of the royal family are.
Nothing to see here ladies and gents, THIS is the future of the British monarchy. I don't think the timing of this picture, as with everything royal-related, is accidental.
This is only the second ever portrait of the Queen and her three heirs, after that lovely Royal Mail shot in April 2016 to mark HMQ's 90th. It was taken by Ranald Mackechnie (same photographer) in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace on 18th December before the Christmas lunch.
Is the portrait a message from the royals to the world? Maybe. But people just can't get George's cuteness regardless.
@ jewellmargolis50:
Wow Prince George has gotten tall. Handsome little guy.
@annaclbarros:
Cute! Historical photograph! The queen and three future kings. Now Prince George knows his job.
Wow, the most constitutionally relevant members of the British Royal Family. Prince George is growing up so fast.
— Pamela RG (@ChicDelights8) January 3, 2020
@kyarammn:
George, you are so cute, little angel
@krisjane80:
Well this is the cutest thing EVER!!!
A normal boy
Prince George is a future king and this photo above displays the line of succession in a pretty significant way. But does this mean Prince William and Kate Middleton's first son is being treated differently because of it?
A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Dec 21, 2019 at 2:09pm PST
Speaking to BBC in 2016, the Duke of Cambridge explained that the Cambridges are just like "any normal family" and his goal for Prince George is to bring him up in a stable environment. The Duke did admit that when the time comes, George will get to understand his responsibility and role in the royal family.
Quick facts about Prince George
He's third in line to the British throne.
He was born in 2013 at St. Mary's Hospital in London.
George's birth also has a historical significance in that it was the first time since Queen Victoria's reign that three generations of direct heirs to the throne are alive at the same time.
A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Sep 5, 2019 at 8:00am PDT
Prince George's life must be really fascinating. At such a young age, he's already tied to big traditions. And based on his father's words, someday, this royal will learn more about what's expected of him. In fact, these photos show that it's likely the six-year-old is already getting to that point.
Royal fans love watching him grow and we're always glad to see more pictures of the cutie.

 Brooklyn Thanksgiving Potluck: A Snack and a Soup from Iris Cafe's Rachel Graville | Nona Brooklyn | What's Good Today?
Before Thanksgiving dinner, I like to have things guests can nibble on. Nothing too filling, of course, but, if they're like me, they don't eat breakfast, so they are famished and there's usually still cooking to be done! A nice cheese plate with regional cheeses is great – there are some special-occasion cheeses you can find at the Greenmarket.
Everyone loves Pimento Cheese, but I have found that the pimentos don't add much except color. I make my own version that can't be called Pimento Cheese (but I do anyway!) because there are no pimentos, but no one minds when they're eating it with crackers or a baguette! When I'm making it for a party at the cafe, I use a Cambozola (blue brie) that we have on the menu, but any mild blue cheese will work well.
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Roast the chestnuts: Using a sharp knife, carefully make an "X" in the shell of the chestnut. Roast in a 400 degree oven for about 30-45 minutes, or until the X starts to pull away from the flesh of the chestnut. Once slightly cool (if they get too cool they are harder to peel), remove the outer shell and roughly chop the chestnut flesh.
- Add broth and bouquet garni and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Add chestnuts and Madeira and simmer, covered, for 3 minutes.
- Purée soup in small batches (4 or 5) in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), or with an immersion blender, transferring to a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in cream, pepper, and salt to taste and reheat soup over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.

Fancy treats that are good for you?
Great but expensive! This is our review of a recipe book called 100 Healthy raw Snacks And Treats and it's awesome! From addiction to sweets to healthy life stile without regrets. These recipes will give you raw treats that taste like the ones in a fancy coffee shops and are good for you.
Please share your experiences in a comments bellow!
Can Delicious Snacks Actually Be Good For You?
Remember sneaking into the kitchen when you were young to steal a snack when mom was not looking? Well, those days might be over if ex-bodybuilding champion Carolyn Hansen gets her way. She has come up with a set of 100 snack recipes that will have mothers everywhere positively encouraging their children to dig in.
The reason? The ingredients. No sugar, flour, or butter to be found in these recipes – just raw healthy foods that Hansen likes to call living. No cooking either, which makes preparation a snap. When You Have A Blender, Who Needs A Stove?
What's best about this is that you can seriously snack these all the time! It's healthy and nutritious. You can easily pack some to your work or trip. You can eat them on a breakfast if you want.
At first glance you might be tempted to think that snacks prepared without sugar and butter might taste like the experimental designs that mom came up with in your youth when she ran low on those items and could not get to the store. If you share the same memories of those bold snack alternatives that I do you might be quick to dismiss the idea of a tasty snack that foregoes the ingredients that we know contribute to chronic disease in later life. Too much sugar and butter in the diet are prime causes of obsesity, diabetes, and coronary disease.
So, if you want to get your hands on recipes for snacks and treats that you will not need to feel guilty about eating the next time you have a craving for something delicious, be sure to check out Carolyn Hansen's book 100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats, where she shows you how to take control of your blender and churn out mouth-watering snacks that will have the kids in your neighborhood lined up around the block for a sample.
So why would you want to prepare these instead of typical sugar butter sweets?
Yes of course some recipes might be a bit tricky but after 1st try you wont have a problem repeating it. Some ingredients are more expensive but it's up to you what you put into your body, think about it as an investment to yourself.


ישראל נאמן | Lectures, Articles, Tours: Israel | Mideast onTarget | Elliot Chodoff & Yisrael Ne'eman | A Lull in the Action?
A Lull in the Action?
Supposedly 'nothing' is happening, a sort of lull has settled in on Israel. There are no major terror attacks by the Palestinians and no serious retaliations. Yet a Katif Bloc resident was killed by a Palestinian sniper and the IDF cut the Gaza Strip into three sections limiting Palestinian movement, but international outcries were not heard. Last night a Tanzim leader was killed in a shoot out and four soldiers injured.
Yasir Arafat did not show up at Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem for the second year running even though PM Ariel Sharon said he was allowed to go. The Palestinian Authority chairman realized the IDF would move into his Mukata headquarters and arrest 30 suspected terrorists should he leave. Only his presence and international immunity has stopped Israel from taking such action until now.
This past week Prof. Sari Nussiebah who held the Jerusalem portfolio in the PA was relieved of his job by the chairman. He had come to an unofficial agreement with Israeli security expert General Ami Ayalon on a peace agreement with Israel, where there would be no Palestinian refugee return, Israel would withdraw from all territories (or swap some) and worst of all he admitted the Jews do have an historical claim to the Land of Israel or "Palestine". Such an admission put him on Arafat's black list.
The PA is no longer on the way to collapse, it is finished. There is no law and order, no medical services, no legal tax collection and no Palestinian leader who is really doing anything about it. The Israeli army is everywhere, stretched to its limits in searching for terrorists (dozens of suspects were arrested this week) and bomb factories where one of the largest and most sophisticated was just discovered in Nablus this week, a month and a half after the military entered the city. A semblance of law and order are provided by the IDF, unfortunately including a lot of curfews, while food and medical services are supplied by both the medical corps and the Israeli civilian sector.
Having cancelled the January 20th elections Arafat and his PA straw ministers enjoy job security and are uninterested in relieving the humanitarian disaster they caused, actually they much prefer it as a stick to beat Israel in the media and international community. Today there are comments in the west about the disastrous daily life of the average Palestinian, but very few condemnations of any substance directed at Israel. In the main, forbidden from criticizing Arafat, most today sit fairly silent.
So what happened? Arafat consolidated his control over the "nothing" he holds, 'moderates' like Nussiebah, Jabril Rajoub and Abu Mazen have lost influence and the IDF is rooting out terrorism in a quiet and efficient manner, step by step.
The quieter it is, the more the IDF is doing its job and the more Arafat sinks into his lot of 'irrelevance' as promised last year by PM Sharon should he continue to support terrorism.

Q: How to expose objects from Webpack bundle and inject external libs into compiled bundle? Short version
TL;DR I want to be able to expose arbitrary objects and functions from a Webpack bundle (let's call it Bundle2), which I can use in another (independent and unrelated) bundle (Bundle1).
For example, Bundle2 could be a React app that acts as a widget in Bundle1. Bundle2 would then expose the React component, actions, and reducers somehow so that Bundle1 can use it (like for combining the reducers, rendering the Bundle2 component, etc.).
But I also want Bundle2 to use some libraries that are already included in Bundle1, to save space.
I know I can use Webpack options.externals to exclude libs from the bundle, and I got that to work. But it expects externals to be on the global object. I want to be able to inject dependencies from Bundle1 into Bundle2 somehow, like by passing through props. I do not want to have to set window.React = require('react') in Bundle1 so that Bundle2 can use React.
EDIT: A clarifying point... My use case is I want users to be able to add widgets from a store or something like that. Since there could be potentially thousands of widgets, I don't think it's scalable or feasible for all those widgets (which can be user generated) to be included in the main bundle at compile time (even when using Webpack's chunks or code splitting features). Also, I think it's dangerous to run other people's code through my webpack ,since they can basically run arbitrary native code that way. Instead, I want other people's widgets to reside somewhere on my server and when they "install them", I basicallyload the widget code asynchronously into their dashboard.
Long version
Let's say I have the following Webpack bundles:

*

*dashboard.bundle.js, the main application bundle. It is a React app with Redux.

*clockWidget.bundle.js, which defines a clock React component and uses Redux to update itself based on its state. Thus, it has a root component, a reducer, and some actions.

At runtime, clockWidget.bundle.js is loaded asyncronously into dashboard.bundle.js using require.js, kind of like this:
// Inside dashboard.bundle.js
requirejs(['clockWidget.bundle.js'], (widgetFunc) => {
  // I want to be able to do this:
  const widget = widgetFunc();
  const { actions, reducer, Component } = widget;

// Where:
// Component - is a React component I can render either server-side or client-side inside the dashboard bundle.
// actions & reducer - are Redux actions and reducers
});

Basically, clockWidget will get pulled in asyncronously and rendered somewhere inside the dashboard using the Component given by the clockWidget bundle.
To reduce the size of the clockWidget bundle, I use Webpack's options.externals feature to exclude React from the bundle, since dashboard.bundle.js already has it.
I want to be able to do something like this:
// inside dashboard.bundle.js:

import React from 'react';
//...
requirejs(['clockWidget.bundle.js'], (widgetFunc) => {
  // Give the clockWidget bundle access to React:
  const widget = widgetFunc({ React })();
  // Then calling that gives me all the stuff I need, like before:
  const { actions, reducer, Component } = widget;
  // ...rendering the component, etc...
});

But I can't quite figure out how to do that. I've tried something like this:
// Inside the compiled clockWidget.bundle.js:

// Wrap the Webpack output with a RequireJS define,
// and return an object with the actions, reducer, and component from inside the bundle.
define(() => {

  //  I can make Webpack generate this code using
  // output: {
  //    libraryTarget: 'var'
  // }
  var bundle = function() {
    // imagine minified webpack code in here...
  };
  // ^ I want to somehow pass down instances to React and other libs
  // so this bundle can consume it. If I use webpack's options.externals,
  // I can simply expose libs globally in dashboard.bundle.js to do the trick, but that smells bad to me.

  // Expose these keys to RequireJS:
  return {
    Actions: {}, // somehow point Actions to the webpack compiled actions
    Reducer: {}, // point Reducer to the webpack compiled reducer
    Component: {}, // point Component to the webpack compiled component
  };
});

Any input or insight on how I can approach this wold be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

For the last couple of years I've been keeping a journal. I try to write in it regularly and one of the things I write about is moments from my day that I am grateful for. I decided to jot down my moments of gratitude as I had read that focusing on the positive things in life helps to lift the mood and to attract further positive things in to one's life. (This article from the Huffington Post explains what a gratitude journal is and the benefits of keeping one).
It has to be said that I'm not naturally optimistic so I'm all for anything that will help to change that so, no matter how big or small something is, if I'm grateful for it, it goes in.
* Bugs. Or rather, the girls not getting whatever bug D had at the start of last week. Sunday saw him start to feel poorly, although he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Monday saw him take the day off sick and he had a half day on Tuesday. I knew he was unwell as he's never off his food and rarely takes time off sick!
* After having a good 2-3 weeks or interrupted sleep, finally getting a full night without waking up once. Sadly it hasn't happened since but, y'know, I live in hope.
* Google. E came home from school with some English homework. I had to google it before I was able to sit down and supervise her. Honestly, if this is what its like in Year 2, I'm screwed as they climb through school!
* The last two weeks have been good for me with selling some of my painted things. I've sold a wooden towel rail, a bureau and a glass display cabinet. Not big money but it all helps.... and means I don't feel guilty about starting to paint something new!
* School pick up. Or more specifically, the time before, which I've been using to either have a quick walk around the estate or to read a book. I'm enjoying being able to read more, I just need to find some new books to get stuck into.
Uninterrupted sleep is always something I'm grateful for!


The Sigur Ros performance we experienced at the Manhattan Center Ballroom in June was undoubtedly the best concert we have seen this year, if not ever. It was a performance of majestic brilliance and musical perfection that brought the crowd to call for three encores of the band's stage bowing after the music ended. That night the band included the Amiina accompaniment and a complete horn section.
Last night's Sigur Ros show at United Palace was a scaled down affair, as this tour consists of the main four members of the band. While the absence of strings and horns was apparent at some points last night, Sigur Ros replaced the majesty with subtlety. Although the first night of the tour had some minor equipment issues and Jonsi had some trouble reaching his highest notes (for which he added a polite "excuse me"), the last hour of this concert reached the heights scaled at Manhattan Center. The songs from the new CD Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust have developed quite nicely to the point where highlights included the joyous "Við Spilum Endalaust" and the full audience participation of "Gobbledigook".
We recorded from about two-thirds back on the floor and while this was not a prime location, the sound quality in the venue was quite excellent and we are very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this capture. There is a slight "hissing" sound at the most quiet moments which was the result of the air conditioning vent behind us. Otherwise, this is an outstanding recording! Enjoy!
If you email nyctaper for access to this recording, we expect that you will PLEASE SUPPORT Sigur Rós, visit their website, visit their MySpace page, and purchase their new CD Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust directly from their website.
The 18th was also recorded and sounds a bit fuller on first listen than this recording. I hope to have it up on the site by tomorrow night.
thanks for taping and sharing. I'll be running my rig in Boston…thanks again…really!
thx for your recordings dude.
Thank You. This is really quite priceless.


Fabulous Mid-Century! Beautifully restored using exquisite materials, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom property exudes the vibe of the Mid Century Era yet has been meticulously enhanced with modern conveniences and thoughtful designer finishes. Ideally located on a large flat lot in a superb pocket of Pacific Beach, this home is ready for the new homeowners to take advantage of the indoor/outdoor entertaining possibilities that await them.


Your home may need some TLC after the long winter.
The long, cold days of winter are over and the mild, pleasant periods of spring lie ahead, as homeowners are opening their windows to breathe in the fresh air they've been longing for. While you may have already shaken the effects of Old Man Winter off your feet – the Seattle area had its coldest winter since the mid-1980s, according to Fox affiliate KCPQ – your house probably can't say the same. Bitter temperatures, heavy winds and blinding snow can take a toll on your property's exterior, but you can resolve those potential repair issues by being proactive.
The winds can really whip in the dead of winter, something you may not give much heed to when nestled nice and warm in your home's interior. The roof often bears the brunt of these gusty conditions, to the point of sending shingles flying. Grab a sturdy ladder that extends past your roof's ledge and take a look at the roof from all sides. If shingles are missing, you should have them replaced as soon as possible to prevent leakage, staving off damage to the ceiling or walls.
Ideally, you cleaned the gutters before the cold temperatures settled in, a smart move to ensure rain and snow drain properly and prevent localized flooding. However, there's a good chance they need to be cleared out again, especially if you live in a heavily wooded area. With a quality pair of work gloves, use your hands to clear away twigs, leaves and debris. Doing this will improve drainage flow and also prevent the eaves from rotting prematurely, as noted by landscaping and architectural design website Houzz.
Having a variety of painting tools at the ready will make the job a lot easier and more effective.
The paint that lines your house isn't solely an aesthetic issue. It's main purpose is to protect the framing from nature's harsh effects. This can be particularly problematic in the Pacific Northwest, which often sees more than its fair share of rainfall. If you haven't repainted your house in a while, you may want to think about doing it yourself or hiring someone professionally. If the paint is chipping, that's a good sign it ought to be taken care of. Experts often provide free estimates.
Do you use a fireplace to save money on home heating oil? Depending on how often you use it, your chimney may be collecting creosote at a quick clip. This tar-like substance collects on the interior of the chimney's walls and increase the risk of a fire. The best way to prevent one is by having your chimney inspected once per year, according to the Chimney Safety Institute of America. Chimney sweeps will make an assessment and offer their recommendation as to whether it needs some tending to. On average, 22,300 chimney fires occur each year in the U.S., based on data collected by the CSIA.
The foundation just might be the most important structural component of the home, as it's literally and figuratively what your house is built upon. Prior to buying, a professional inspector should have given you the lowdown on any potential issues that could come up in the future. Check for these, especially if they relate to cracking. Depending on where they're located and how big they are, you may need to have a professional come by to take a look. Home listings website Trulia offers some other tips to be mindful of when checking the foundation, like making sure to measure the breadth of cracks. Those greater than a quarter of an inch require sealant.
If you've experienced any changes at home in the past year – whether cosmetic or composition-wise – you may need to make some adjustments to your home insurance policy. For example, a growing family may require additional coverage, especially if that extra person led to implementing renovations, like a new bedroom or bathroom. Upgrades can affect your home's value and your plan may need to be adjusted accordingly.
Be sure to implement these steps into your spring cleaning regimen so your home can recover from the nasty winter that was.


Empower your child by giving her the chance to learn the value of hard work.
Remember the days when kids did odd jobs all holiday to earn money for a bike? Those kids knew the worth of a Rand, took care of their bikes, and felt enormously empowered. They knew they could realise their dreams by working hard. I'm not saying you can't buy a new bike just because your child outgrew her old one, but all children need to learn that if they work hard at things, they can make their dreams come true. They learn more from earning than from just being handed things. And the pursuit of a goal is rewarding in itself.
Help your child learn how to hold a job.
Earning money at home is one thing, but there's nothing as educational as working for someone outside the family for pay, which teaches real responsibility in the real world. Start when your eight year old wants something badly and her birthday's still far off, by paying her to do tasks you wouldn't normally expect of her (washing the car, weeding the garden). But over time, be sure this expands to odd jobs in the neighbourhood (walk the neighbour's dog or offer a mowing the lawn service), then to mother's helper/babysitting jobs when its age appropriate, and finally to after-school or holiday jobs. Even if your family has plenty and never needs your teenager to work, every teen should learn by experience what it takes to earn a Rand.
Children won't always do what you say, but they'll always, eventually, do what you do. If you shop for relaxation or fun, so will your child. If you "must have" the latest tech toy, your child will follow in your footsteps. If you express gratitude for everything you have, so will your child.


Meet Kristi who is a Pastry Arts student with Escoffier Online International Culinary Academy. We hope you enjoy her story!
Escoffier: How did your passion for baking begin?
Kristi: My mom used to bake when I was a kid. She was famous for her meringues so that is the first pastry item I learned to do. I would stand over a chair because the table was too tall for me and just watch her work with pastry bags. When she finished she would hand over to me the pastry bag so I could practice. She would make meringues, strawberry pie, brownies and she would create these desserts by improvising.
Escoffier: What is your background?
Kristi: I am Mexican living in Mexico. I worked and lived in Vancouver, Canada in restaurants. I also work in the food industry in Orlando, Florida.
Kristi: I have taken pastry courses at different local schools and I am self-taught by watching YouTube videos and reading pastry books. After gathering knowledge I realized I don't have the credentials or any document stating my acquired knowledge. After searching for schools in the USA, they were all pricey for internationals students. Aside from school cost I had to add housing, transportation and food costs. Finally I found Escoffier online, perfect choice since I wouldn't have to worry about the extras and I could study on my free time. I could combine work and studying.
Escoffier: What are your plans once you finish the online pastry program?
Kristi: After I finish the program I would like to find suitable work as a Pastry Chef. My longtime goal is to open a Coffee-Pastry shop where people can gather to chat and enjoy the pastries. I would also like to teach, give free courses for aspiring students or people interested in improving techniques.
Escoffier: What advice would you give to others about the program?
Kristi: My advice for them would be to prepare in any way possible as this industry is constantly evolving. To practice, practice, practice, to improvise recipes so you get something fresh and different. The advantage about Escoffier Online is that you won't miss any notes and you can print it all out and keep it as a source. You can take the class as many times as you need to and you get evaluated for your work. You will learn to self-critique your work by redefining your senses.
We thank Kristi for sharing her journey with us! Check out more of our student spotlight stories and student reviews to see why our students chose online training and where they have ended up after completing the online program! If you have a story to share or would like to learn more about our program, please contact us at (855) 696-6602 or [email protected].

Port-au-Prince says that there is a lack of coordination between federal and local authorities in Coronavirus fight
by The Haitian Times May. 13, 2020 May. 13, 2020
The country's densest city, Port-au-Prince, has the highest number of positive cases for the coronavirus (Covid-19), according to the latest official figures.
However, there is a lack of communication and an little coordination between central and local authorities, according to mayor Youri Chevry, during an interview on the program "Haiti, sa k ap kwit"on Télé 20.
Despite the seriousness of the coronavirus crisis, relations (in terms of cohesion) between local and central authorities are far from good, particularly in the management of the disease, said Chevry, who added that he has good relations with the departmental director of Western Public Health.
Currently in the commune, around 1,300 young people have received training to be able to carry out awareness-raising campaigns among the population on the coronavirus. In collaboration with other groups, the first citizen of Port-au-Prince said that City Hall has scores of people (provided with equipment to protect themselves) out in neighborhoods to explain the pathology of the disease to people, if necessary.
The mayor noted that some people are skeptical about the virus because they do not have confidence on the federal government.
In addition, the mayor of Port-au-Prince emphasizes that he is not involved in the distribution of food organized by the central authorities to the population, nor the logic of distributing money through the MonCash service.
Chevry, whose term expires in July, stresses that he is facing problems of means to carry out a whole series of actions in the interest of the population. Continue reading.

TG Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Final Phase 2 Multiple Sclerosis Data Presentation at the 34th Congress of ECTRIMS
Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) of 0.07 observed for all patients on Phase 2 trial
ECTRIMS data review conference call to be held today, October 11, 2018, 19:30 CEST/1:30pm ET
NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGTX), today announced the final results from the Phase 2 multicenter trial of ublituximab (TG-1101), the Company's novel glycoengineered anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, in relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (RMS). The data is being presented today during an oral session at the 34thCongress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS), in Berlin, Germany. Highlights from the presentation are outlined below.
Michael S. Weiss, the Company's Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are extremely pleased by the final Phase 2 MS data presented today during the annual congress of ECTRIMS. We believe this complete dataset, which now includes all patients through 48 weeks, confirms the efficacy and safety profile of ublituximab and provides a compelling rationale for its use to treat patients with MS. This final data compare very favorably with previously presented data for ocrelizumab, the only approved anti-CD20 for the treatment of MS. With more than 1 million patients currently living in the United States with MS, we believe ublituximab will become an important treatment option, representing a major market opportunity for us." Mr. Weiss continued, "These data support our fully enrolled global Phase 3 ULTIMATE program, being conducted under SPA agreement with the FDA, which if successful would support the full approval of ublituximab in relapsing forms of MS."
"The final Phase 2 ublituximab data presented today is highly encouraging and further confirms the safety and efficacy seen in Multiple Sclerosis patients treated with ublituximab. It was especially interesting to see that the one hour infusion was well tolerated by patients. The approval of ocrelizumab confirmed anti- CD20's as an important part of the MS treatment paradigm and ublituximab's shorter infusion time and tolerable safety profile offer a real advantage to our patients. We look forward to the results of the ublituximab Phase 3 ULTIMATE program and advancing this important treatment option forward," stated Edward Fox, MD, PhD, Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Clinic of Central Texas and Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Texas Dell Medical School in Austin, TX and the Principal Investigator for this Phase 2 study.
The oral presentation includes final data on all patients enrolled in the study through 48 weeks of treatment.
Oral Presentation Highlights:
17% of patients met the criteria for 24 Week Confirmed Disability Improvement (CDI) at Week 48

These data support the ongoing international Phase 3 program evaluating ublituximab (TG-1101) for the treatment of relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (RMS). The Phase 3 trials, entitled ULTIMATE I and ULTIMATE II, are being conducted under Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are being led by Lawrence Steinman, MD, of Stanford University.
TG Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel treatments for B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases. Currently, the company is developing two therapies targeting hematological malignancies and autoimmune diseases. Ublituximab (TG-1101) is a novel, glycoengineered monoclonal antibody that targets a specific and unique epitope on the CD20 antigen found on mature B-lymphocytes. TG Therapeutics is also developing umbralisib (TGR-1202), an orally available PI3K delta inhibitor. The delta isoform of PI3K is strongly expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin and is believed to be important in the proliferation and survival of B‐lymphocytes. Both ublituximab and umbralisib, or the combination of which is referred to as "U2", are in Phase 3 clinical development for patients with hematologic malignancies, with ublituximab also in Phase 3 clinical development for Multiple Sclerosis. Additionally, the Company has recently brought its anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody into Phase 1 development and aims to bring additional pipeline assets into the clinic in the future. TG Therapeutics is headquartered in New York City.

Rock Band Creator Harmonix Is Staging a Comeback!
Rock Band isn't dead?
by Kaelan Otto
It's been a few years since the last Rock Band and Guitar Hero game, that sort of genre quickly died down back in 2012. I hear fans of both series, sometimes ask "When is the new game coming out" or "Did the series get cancelled?"
Well, if you're one of the many fans of Rock Band or Guitar Hero, then you might get excited you hear that Harmonix, developer of music, rhythm and dance-based games, has a Kickstarter campaign going for their title, Amplitude.
Harmonix was founded back in 1995, but didn't become a full household name til after the success of Rock Band. This was revealed by Harmonix CEO, Alex Rigopulos, while answering questions and promoting their Kickstarter campaign on Reddit.
In 2006, Activision spent over $100 million to acquire the Guitar Hero franchise, then, a few months later, Harmonix was purchased by MTV Networks. Since Harmonix was no longer in control of the Guitar Hero series, the responsiblity was passed down to Neversoft, developers of the Tony Hawk's skateboarding games.
Since then, there was a spammed release of the Guitar Hero games, because of this, some people speculated that this was the reason for the music genre to die-out. However, Rigopulos stated that Activison's over-publishing of the game, was NOT the reason for this.
He stated that the prices of both Rock Band and Guitar Hero were the most expensive games on the market, due to the plastic instruments and DLC song packs. Both of which, is what contributed to the declining music game genre, since both games were available physically and digitally during a bad recession.
Rigopulos then said that, Rock Band and Guitar Hero ultimately didn't bring enough to the music genre of games. The team wishes to discuss this at some point in the next outing.
Alex Rigopulos then states:
"One way or another, it will be back."
Right now on Kickstarter, Amplitude is sitting on its final moments--less than 50 hours left. The project is so close from being completed and I urge any fan of Rock Band and Guitar Hero to help this project succeed.
Check out the Kickstarter here.
