History

Formation and early years (2007–2008)
Connor McDonough and Braiden Wood first met through their church youth group. Wood proposed the idea of starting a band, and introduced McDonough to Thomas Silvers, the three of them joining together to form the band. They added a fourth member who did not remain a part of the band. Riley then joined the band as the permanent fourth member. The band's original name was 'soulbinder39.' Wood's mother coined the name 'Before You Exit,' initially stylized in the form of texting lingo as 'B4UXIT' and later changed to the full grammatically correct spelling. Their name eventually became short for the band's motto, make a difference before you exit, which developed afterward.

2009–11
In 2009, they released their first EP, A Short Story Long. The first tour that the band took part in was All Time Low's 2010 My Small Package Tour, in which they became a supporting act in the middle of the tour. They also played a few shows on All Time Low's 2011 tour, the Dirty Work Tour.

In 2010, the band was featured in the music video for "Love Me or Let Me Go" by Avery, released on YouTube on November 11, 2010. Before You Exit also had a guest appearance in the official video for Stefanie Scott's "Girl I Used To Know," released via YouTube on October 20, 2011.

In 2011, the band released their second EP, Letting Go. Following the release was their own mini-headlining The Next Big Thing Tour in the fall of 2011.

2012–13
The band first released "End of the World" as single on January 10, 2012, before releasing a newer version of the song featuring the rapper, Anth, on December 21 of that year.

They were supporting acts in Allstar Weekend's All The Way Tour, alongside Hollywood Ending and The After Party. The band also auditioned for X Factor USA and made it through to the judges' houses round but dropped out because they realized that the competition wasn't for them. In August 2012, the band line up changed as Toby McDonough, younger brother of Connor and Riley, joined the group. Due to their growing success and recognition in South America, the band was invited to perform at Brazil's 2012 NoCapricho Festival.

February 2013 saw the release of their third EP, I Like That. They were on tour supporting Action Item in the Resolution Tour, along with Paradise Fears and Hello Highway to promote their newest songs.

The band was the only supporting act for the North American leg of English singer Olly Murs' Right Place Right Time Tour. During the summer of 2013, they appeared on Cody Simpson's Paradise Tour as a supporting act, along with Ryan Beatty. On August 17 and 18, they traveled to Singapore to close for The Color Run at Sentosa and to Malaysia on August 19 at Sunway Pyramid Mall. Throughout the years, the band's fame had also expanded to the Philippines where they performed in the Circuit Fest on May 25, 2013.

2014–present
In early 2014, live member Braiden Wood announced via Tumblr that he would resign from the band to take on a career as a solo artist.

Before You Exit released a music video for the newly recorded acoustic version of "Soldier" from their 2013 EP I Like That on February 12, 2014, via YouTube. On July 17, 2014, Before You Exit released their standalone single "Heart Like California", which was premiered during a live chat via Stageit in December 2013.

In March, the band began their own headlining tour, The Dangerous Tour, which visited 10 cities along the east coast and one show in Manila, Philippines in May. A new single, "Dangerous", was released on March 18, the first day of the Dangerous Tour. Opening acts included Spencer Sutherland, Plug in Stereo, and Macy Kate.  In June 2014, the band then went on to join the girl group Fifth Harmony on their Fifth Times A Charm Tour after opening for them at the House of Blues in Orlando earlier in the year.

On April 28, 2014, Before You Exit was selected to compete in the annual Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star contest. After over 7 million votes total, the band was announced as the winner. Before You Exit received a slot at the annual iHeartRadio Music Festival lineup, which took place at MGM Grand Las Vegas, and was also awarded their own parade float on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

2015 brought some changes regarding Before You Exit and their future as a band. Due to increased popularity, Before You Exit toured Europe for the first time performing 22 shows in January–February 2015 with Christina Grimmie. On July 7, 2015, Before You Exit announced on social media that they had signed their first record deal with RCA Records. The next day, they announced their new single "Model" which was released July 17, 2015. The "Model" music video premiered on VEVO on October 26, 2015.

During the summer of 2015, Before You Exit joined English band The Vamps on their American tour as a supporting act, alongside The Tide. The tour consisted of 12 shows across the United States from July 21–August 8, 2015.

On March 5, 2016, Before You Exit announced that they would be making their biggest announcement ever and a countdown timer was placed on their website. On March 11, 2016, at midnight, the band announced a new EP, All the Lights, featuring their singles "Model" and "When I'm Gone". The EP was released on April 8, 2016, and debuted at #1 on iTunes in the Philippines. On April 26, 2016, Before You Exit announced The All The Lights Tour, with Christina Grimmie and special guests, which would visit 11 cities and run from May 29–June 17, 2016. The final two shows were cancelled following the death of Grimmie on June 10, 2016. On December 14, 2016, they released "Clouds" as a tribute to their fallen friend.

Beginning on May 25, 2017, fans of the band noticed Before You Exit was no longer listed among RCA's recording artists on RCA's website. On May 26, all the videos on Before You Exit's VEVO channel were deleted and re-uploaded on the same day. Given these two occurrences, it was widely suspected that Before You Exit was dropped from the label, though as of yet there has not been any explanation or confirmation of these speculations on the part of either Before You Exit or RCA.

On May 26, 2017, the band released a single with Great Good Fine Ok entitled "Find Yourself". The official music video was released on YouTube on July 7, 2017.

On November 3, 2017, the band released their new single entitled "Strangers". On Twitter, lead singer Riley said the song is about "initial[ly] falling for someone" and learning everything about them, but when it ends, it's almost as if you never met, even though the feelings are still there.

The band has written songs with Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, Stephen Barker Liles of Love and Theft, and Dan Book and Alexei Misoul, producers who have worked with acts such as Hot Chelle Rae and The Summer Set. The band has said they draw inspiration from artists like Rascal Flatts, John Mayer, Maroon 5 and hope to one day write with them.

On October 6, 2018, the band announced via Twitter that their first album was complete, and they would be releasing it in three parts: Love, Pain and Retrospect. They stated in the message that the first single off the album was due to be released October 19. On October 19, the first single from the album, "Silence", was released. This also starts the beginning of the Love section of the album.

We had a great day alhamdulillah. Our Mondays always start with puzzles! We had some kids working on puzzles, some kids finishing off work from last week, and some kids helping out with different chores around the classroom. I love seeing the kids being able to work on different tasks at the same time. Our big word for today was "self control" and how we need to exercise this at different points during the day.
We are working on our COMPASSION song which we will be presenting in front of the school on May 17th insha'Allah. The students thought of the words to this song, we are so excited about this!
May will be the last month for signing out library books, we kindly ask that if you have any overdue library books that you bring them back to school as soon as possible.
We reviewed our 2D shapes via a nice game of shapes and colours BINGO! The students have become so good and not getting upset when they don't win masha'Allah, they are growing up and learning these valuable life skills every day.
-20 minute of quiet resting time at our desks or on the rug.
- 25 minutes of writing practice in the form of journals.
During period seven the students practiced "read to self", and then they had French with monsieur Said. Masha'Allah the class has memorized a wonderful song with monsieur Said and they were reviewing their numbers in French.
Please help your child memorize the following ayas for Quraan.

Resolute in the U.K. ??
Does anyone know how I can watch the full GI Joe Resolute ? It's not available on YouTube that I can find (only short clips) and the DVD on amazon is for US use only. Is there a U.K. Version anywhere?
Hopefully this one works. How about one of these as a skystriker taking off from a custom Uss Flagg.
Thats the one Baron! Technology hey! where is Dial Tone or Breaker when you need them?
Does this link to a custom work? Don't really know how to do it.
Do you think you could put two of the flight decks together to add to the width and just build the main base of the ship - adding all the various rooms etc ????
Come on guys there must be more pics of USS Flagg customs out there! Lets see them - pleeeeese!
I would love to see a pic of that FLAGG with 100 shipwrek figures and seven skystrikers! That sounds really good. Was it on yojoe? Can you remember? It would be great to see.
Would be interested to see a custom aircraft carrier that would be cool ! Not sure I like the Flagg as is. Was thinking of building one out of plywood but like most things .... my hands cant do what my head wants - I am not a DIY guy.
I think I would spend about £400 on one which I know I would not get a complete one for that and I am not sure I would get that kind of spending past the boss!!


During the past 24 hours, Russian-terrorist troops fired more than 30 times onto the positions of ATO [anti-terrorism operation] forces.
Special enemy activity was observed in the Debaltseve, Luhansk and Donetsk directions – 12, 9 and 8 fire strikes each respectively.
In particular, the situation in the ATO zone remains the most intense in the areas of Debaltseve (6 attacks), Krymske (4 [artillery] bombardments), Zolote, Berezove (3 bombardments each), Chornukhyne, Donetsk Airport, Stanytsia Luhanska (2 bombardments each).
The process of "centralization" of the so-called militia "Army of New Russia" is ongoing. The process is formally led by representatives of the "DNR" and "LNR" [Donetsk and Luhansk Peoples Republics], in reality – specialists from several departments of the General Staff of the RF and the FSB. All activities of the "centralization" are supplied not only with material-technical logistics, but also "organizationally" (including pressure, intimidation, and physical measures to "unruly" fighters), with the support of militant groups of special purpose law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation.
Further measures to strengthen Russian-terrorist forces strike groups are being implemented. In particular, in the area east of Chornukhyne (the left flank of the Debaltseve bridgehead) a new artillery group has been deployed. By Stanytsia Luhansk, the south elevation at Mykolaivka, artillery is also being pulled up. To the north of this area armored vehicles are being transferred (during the past 24 hours, the movement of up to 20 units, including tanks, has been recorded).
Tactical groups south of Donetsk continue to be strengthened. Delivery of provisions from Russia, mainly go through the settlements of Snizhne and Amvrosiivka (2-3 daily supply convoys). Between Olenivka and Telmanove, the concentration of combat units, and the accumulation of stocks of material and technical equipment (fuel, ammunition, other resources) continues.
In the district of Novoazovsk, the enemy equips the fortified area, under cover from the air. In the direction of Mariupol, they concluded the formation of the Second Battalion Tactical Group (BTG) in north Kominternovo. The main forces of the enemy are in the depth of the second tier, small mobile groups have been moved forward, mostly made up of local militants.
Among the local fighters are rumors that in occupied Crimea large-scale mobilization activities to resupply the so-called "Army of New Russia" will be carried out by Russian command.

Johannes Gutenberg Biography
Johannes Gutenberg was an inventor, engraver and printer, creator of one of the inventions that changed the future of humanity: the printing press. Gutenberg was born in Mainz, Germany, in 1397.
His real last name was Gensfleisch. Else, Friele (mother and father) and their brothers, lived in a house called Zum Gutenberg. His family moved to Eltville am Rhein, where his mother had inherited a farm. In the year of 1431 his father died, and two years later his mother also died.
About Gutenberg is not known much until in 1434 when he began to work the silversmith in Strasbourg, where two years later he is interested in perfecting the stature of precious stones. In 1437, inclines his efforts in the elaboration of mirrors. In Strasbourg, Gutenberg founded a goldsmith's workshop with other partners. In addition to his own techniques in the manufacture of mirrors and lenses, and carving of gems, Gutenberg devoted a large part of his time to researching printing techniques, which he already called "New Art."
Between 1438 and 1448, Gutenberg, driven by his interest, took money from the workshop's capital box to continue with the greatest of secrets, his typographical experiments. His partners in the goldsmith business realized the fraud and sued him. It is said that his partners took some printed materials in his time off work by Gutenberg as evidence. The judge noted in his documents that Gutenberg "had bought lead to manufacture pieces that separated and melted." It was also mentioned that there was an object to press the material.
In 1449, Gutenberg lost his trial and was almost forced to leave Strasbourg and return to Mainz, and in that same year, he was associated with a very wealthy lawyer, Johann Fust, who was interested in Gutenberg's typographical advances and start working in his workshop. Fust lent Gutenberg some money to finish a printing press. With the financial support of his partner, Gutenberg worked hard on his project, until around 1450 that he completed his invention, the printing of mobile types. Thanks to Gutenberg's knowledge as a metalworker, they were key to his idea of using steel molds that represented the letters of the alphabet, since these would no longer be broken when the press came on the molds to be printed on the paper. In this way, the problem of the fragility of the old wooden molds was solved.
Gutenberg initiated the edition of the Bible of 42 lines in 1455. The 42-line Bible, or also known as the Gutenberg Bible, had more than 1,200 pages, divided into two columns of 42 lines each. It is a marvel of typographical beauty: the letters were of a Gothic style, very similar to that of the medieval manuscripts. Currently, in the world, 46 copies of the work are conserved.
In 1455, Gutenberg did not have much money to return the money that Fust had lent him, so the union was over, and Gutenberg saw himself in misery; Even Gutenberg had to reveal the secret of setting up printing presses in order to survive. Fust sued Gutenberg for breaking the clauses of the contract and not having returned the money left over from his project. Fust and his son-in-law Schöffer partnered and published The Gutenberg Bible. The following year they released El Psalterio or Psalmorum Codex.
In 1464, Gutenberg was partially blind, and the powerful elector Adolfo de Nassau, who valued the famous invention, welcomed him into his court and gave him the necessary means so that he could survive worthily until the end of his days.
On February 3, 1468, Johannes Gutenberg died in his hometown, Mainz.
"The printing press is an army of twenty-six lead soldiers with whom you can conquer the world."

Football or Soccer history
Although we want to go back to the History of Soccer, we must bear in mind that its roots and rules were not typical of the sport we know today.
Being Xeng-T emperor, in the 5th century, he forced the soldiers to play a ball game known as Tsú-Shú; meaning Tsú: kick and Shú: ball.
In the 2nd century b.C. in China, a game was held that consisted of disputing the ball vigorously with the rivals, and then, with the use of the feet and hands, passing the ball over a cord held by two posts, which today we know as "goal."
In these times it is when the raw leather is wrapped in several roots; giving birth to the leather ball. Its inventor was FU-HI. It was used in the Chinese dynasty then, as training in the military fields. Even when a soldier violated the code, he was forced to dominate the ball without dropping it, if so, his punishment was dropped.
A century later, in Egypt, the ball game is performed as a fertility ritual. This game is adopted by its neighboring towns India and Persia, obtaining the ball as the object of the game.
We can also find in America how the Aztecs practiced for years the game called Tlachitli, which was a mix between tennis, football and basketball. In the game the use of the hands was prohibited and the losing team captain was sacrificed as part of the game.
In 1855 Charles Goodyear built and patented the first soccer ball which consisted of a rudimentary vulcanized rubber ball.
However, if we want to talk about the History of Soccer per se, we should talk about how the Football Association was founded in England in 1863, thus being the first governing body of that sport. Stipulating from there the rules and style of play of what is today the most famous sport in the world.
In the year of 1900, Soccer is included in the Olympic Games and recognized as such. Later in 1902 Argentina and Uruguay meet in the first International match outside the British Isles.
In 1904, FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) was founded in Paris, France. Who from that moment was dedicated to regulate and organize the meetings worldwide.

Japanese anime or animation emerged at the beginning of the 20th century influenced by animation and the world of cinema developed in the United States, later it was modified and claimed Japanese culture. The anime-style as we know it began to develop in the late 1950s, when the production company Toei Studios and the different series based on short sleeves or cartoons, such as Tetsuwan Atomu, also known as Astro Boy. From the 1980s and 1990s, the anime became popular, appearing large cult series such as Dragon Ball, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Sailor Moon, Detective Conan, Rurouni Kenshin, and Cowboy Bebop, among others. In the new millennium, the Japanese animated industry has been booming, providing new content every season based on successful manga, light novels, video games, and music.
The earliest surviving Japanese animated short made for cinemas, produced in 1917
The first Japanese animations were small short films developed at the end of the 1910s, largely inspired by American animation, in these, folk and comic themes were addressed. The first short film was Namakura Gatana by Junichi Kouchi, it was two minutes long, the story told the story of a man with his katana (Japanese sword or saber). In the following decade, the duration of the short films was extended to ten or fifteen minutes, in which typical oriental tales were represented. Among the pioneer artists of this era are Oten Shimokawa, Junichi Kouchi, Seitaro Kitayama and Sanae Yamamoto; by this time the short film Obasuteyama (The Mountain Where Old Women Are Abandoned) by Yamamoto was published.

A short time later the anime Norakuro (1934) of Mituyo Seo, one of the first animations based on a manga. Since then this became a frequent practice. By the end of the 1930s, World War II broke out, a warlike confrontation in which Japan was involved as a member of the Axis powers, at which time the animations became war propaganda. At the end of the war, the country was occupied by the allied powers led by the United States, which seriously affected the country that was going through a deep economic crisis.

In the course of the crisis, the manga and anime industry became popular in the country, thus establishing the basis for the development of the own animated style that occurred around the middle of the 20th century. It was around this time that Toei Studios, an animation film producer, emerged as one of the key figures in the history of anime. This company was a pioneer in the animation of Japan, provided various productions that allowed the advancement of animation in the country. The company's first animation was Koneko no rakugaki, a short thirteen-minute film published in 1957. The following decade the company grew by focusing on the development of feature films. Other companies such as Mushi Pro, a producer that made the animation of Tetsuwan Atomu (Astro Boy) by Osamu Tezuka, mangaka and animator, one of the most relevant artists of the Japanese animated industry of the 20th century.
Between the 1960s and 1970s, the anime of robots (mecha) became popular appearing iconic series such as Tetsujin 28-gō and Mazinger Z or Gundam, for this same period the popular Doraemon series (1973), based on the homonymous anime, began to air Fujiko Fujio, a series that tells the story of a cosmic robot cat that has attached to its body a bag from which it subtracts various artifacts which are used in the adventures of Doraemon and his human friend Nobita. In the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese animation boomed internationally, which led to many series beginning to dub into English and Spanish, in these years cult series such as Dragon Ball, based on the manga of Akira Toriyama. Saint Seiya also known as The Knights of the Zodiac, Captain Tsubasa, exported as Super champions; Rurouni Kenshin, known in the west as Samurai X, Neon Genesis Evangelion of Hideaki Anno; Pokémon, Ranma ½, and Sakura Card Captor, among others.
In 2000, the already booming anime is largely massified by the acceptance and the huge fan base that it had acquired at the time, these followers known as otakus, boosted the Japanese animated industry. Since then there have been numerous animated productions that have been distributed worldwide, among the most prominent series of the new millennium are One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha, Yu-Gi-Oh, Rozen Maiden, Kuroshitsuji, and Death Note, all are ace based on sleeves that when becoming successful, allowed the development of the animated series.
At present, any manga that has a large number of followers is very likely to have adapted in an animated series, such as Hunter x Hunter, Pandora Hearts, Ao no Exorcist, Mirai Nikki, Bakuman and Shingeki no Kyojin, among many others, light novels have been adapted that have become popular as Durarara!!, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Sword Art Online, and My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected, among others.

Star Wars is a series of films by American film director George Lucas and produced and distributed by The Walt Disney Company as of 2012. Director George Lucas was a promising filmmaker who had just finished the American Graffiti movie and began collecting ideas for a new project, which he titled The Star Wars. Thanks to its good name, The Star Wars was full of good omens.
This film contained a beginning, knot, and end, indicating that it was a closed film. But, for the year 1980, the Empire struck back, which indicated that there would be more sequels. In that sense, the first film was assigned the final title of Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope. The plot of the tape focused on a galaxy far away, there was an oppressive empire, hunting interstellar rewards, all this with the drama of a kidnapped princess and a stubborn young man, without parents, called Luke Skywalker.
Lucas made the film because his budget was below 10 million dollars. All these inconveniences affected the cast, although they were always enthusiastic, during filming. The actor Harrison Ford was a great record for the success of this film.
Star Wars reached immediate popularity. It was really surprising since few films contained that level of special effects and it was practically the first film that was characterized by its deliberately sensationalist attitude. There were legendary rows all over the block to enter. Many critics claim that these films have been well received because they knew how to spread the current economic model of the embraced film industry among young men, enthusiastic about the special effects and images of the comics.
Total production has raised some 2.2 billion dollars nationally and 4.5 billion dollars internationally. The phantom menace is a box office leader, has generated almost 1,000 million dollars.
The popularity of the tape has allowed the commercialization of a large number of items, souvenirs, garments, among others and with this, they have earned more than 20,000 million dollars. Lucas has maintained the commercialization of the film and this money has allowed him to expand his Industrial Light and Magic special effects workshop and will create a whole mini-industry in North Carolina. In 2012, Disney bought Lucasfilm.
Luke Skywalker: He is the star of Star Wars. Hero of the trilogy, he is presented as the savior of the universe, a young lonely farmer descended from the galactic nobility.
Darth Vader: A villain who has a very pronounced physique, of great stature. It succumbs to the dark side and the side of the Emperor seeks to dominate the Galactic Empire. He confronts Luke, who knows after he is his son, after a while, he discovers a little goodness within himself. Before being Vader is Anakin Skywalker, as the Chosen One, his mission was to bring balance to the Force.
Princess Leia Organa: Political leader and supporter of the rebels. She is an Alderaan princess. It is characterized by having an inflexible character. She is captured by the evil Darth Vader and had to see her planet in chaos and destruction. She is romantically involved with Han Solo. It also turns out to be Vader's daughter.
Han Solo: played by actor Harrison Ford. In the film, he plays the adventurous pilot of the Millennium Falcon ship, who is involved in the rebel cause. Thanks to his effort, Luke's life is safe, and therefore he assumes the responsibility of being a military leader. He stays with Princess Leia. A hairy Wookie, Chewbacca, is his co-pilot and right hand.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: A wise man who takes care of Lucas. Die at the hands of Vader. In the previous chronology, it is a veteran of the Clone War who is an instructor of Anakin Skywalker before he leans over the dark side.
R2-D2: It is an aeromechanical robot, companion of C-3PO, an android whose function is to serve humans. Both have a presence in all films.
Yoda: A famous Jedi Master who instructs the inexperienced Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force. He can reverse syntax.
Jar Jar Binks: It's a soft-eared Gungan that has a Caribbean accent and isn't much loved by fans. As a politician in the Galactic Senate, it helps put the galaxy on the road to ruin.
Boba Fett: Warrior and bounty hunter. One of the most important rewards he won was for the capture of Han Solo. It ends in the belly of a beast. Fans have ensured that he is one of the favorite characters of the fans despite not being the main character.
Emperor Palpatine: Follower of the dark side and Senator Naboo who maintains his identity as Darth Sidious, this has been used to build his power.
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
The Return of the Jedi (1983)
The Phantom Menace (1999)
The Attack of the Clones (2002)
Revenge of the Sith (2005).
We must indicate that the three prequels were not as successful among fans and critics as the original trilogy.
Attack of the clone
A new hope:
The return of the Jedi
THE AWAKENING OF THE FORCE
It was announced on October 2012 when Disney bought Lucasfilm. The script is attributed to J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan and the director was Abrams. The plot takes place 30 years after The Return of the Jedi. Luke, Han, and Leia were the characters that entered the original trilogy. The Force Awakens will be released in more than 41,000 cinemas in North America, including 392 IMAX screens. It is expected to exceed the current record, set this year by Jurassic World. That movie collected 208.8 million in the first weekend.

Spotify History
Spotify is a multiplatform application of Swedish origin created in the mid-first decade of 2000 by web designer and entrepreneur Daniel Ek. It began its history as an application for computers in 2008 and a year later presented the mobile and dynamic version for smartphones. After signing a contract with numerous record labels such as Sony BMG, Hollywood Records, Warner Music, and Universal Music, among others, Spotify launched into the conquest of the music world by expanding its business and including services such as access to specialized magazines and other related applications. With the musical field.
Consolidated as one of the most important applications in the music industry, Spotify has managed to connect with its users maintaining the freemium model (free and paid) and facilitating its use through alliances with important social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.)
DANIEL EK AND THE SPOTIFY BEGINNINGS
After starting his career as an entrepreneur at age fourteen, Daniel Ek, creator of Spotify began a new bet in the online marketing business with Advertigo (2005), a company that he successfully managed until its sale to the international giant Tradedoubler in 2006. It was at that time when the Spotify project began to take shape with the support of Martin Lorentzon, founder of Tradedoubler. Ek quickly convinced Lorentzon of the potential of his new project and this without hesitation gave his investment for the application to be created. While discussing the name of the new project, Lorentzon, and Ek, they stayed with Spotify, because their sound and meaning pleased them (spot: place – identify: identity).
Once the name was chosen, Ek and Lorentzon, registered the brand and began working on the project with the support of a group of designers and engineers, including uTorrent developer and creator, Ludvig Strigeus. After a few months of work the application was completed in 2006, however, its launch was postponed due to negotiations with the record companies and the licensing, so it took two years to launch the application.
Spotify was launched on October 7, 2008, as a streaming music playback application for computers, available at that time only in some European countries such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom, Spain, and France. Since then users could access an extensive music library without downloading anything. At that time the application had its well-known free account, however, it could only be accessed if invited, otherwise, a paid subscription would have to be made. By changing times and with the emergence of smartphones, Spotify understood the need to expand and reinvent itself, building its mobile application in 2009, in addition to the Premium and Unlimited modes.
After gaining popularity in a few years and becoming one of the most used new applications, Spotify landed in the US market, signing a contract with important record labels, which understood the importance of being in the app and the potential it had to spread to Your artists In 2011, it was established in the United States and began to compete with recognized and important music applications such as iTunes, which it has currently surpassed in number of active users, Amazon Music, Pandora and the newly created Tidal (2014). Shortly after starting his adventure in the United States, Ek announced that the application would change and diversify by becoming a platform that could host various applications related to the world of music, because as he pointed out: Music goes beyond of the music.
Since then the application has become multiplatform in which third-party applications such as TuneWiki (letters), CrowdAlbum (photography) and Billboard (lists and charts) are included, among many others. Also, several extensions and options were created that personalize the use of the app, so that each user can enjoy and explore the world of music in the app in the way they like.
For this same period, the platform surprised users with the integration of specialized channels and magazines such as Rolling Stone, Moi, and others that jumped to the platform pleasing users with a variety of music lists for all tastes. Three years after becoming a platform, Spotify eliminated the limit of hours of listening for free users, including short advertisements that cannot be skipped. That same year, the app opted for marketing, sales and user experience by partnering with Topspin and Starbucks, being the first music app that has space in places like cafes.
After consolidating itself as one of the most-used apps of recent times, Spotify created various alliances with social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, among others, allowing its users to access the app and share its content in various ways, thus improving the user experience.
Since 2016, the app has managed to connect with its users through various lists designed for all kinds of tastes, with which users can discover new artists, new songs, the most listened to songs and others that they had forgotten. Some of the most listened to lists are Discover Weekly, Billboard Hot 100, Hipster International, Digster HIP HOP HITS !, Billboard R & B / Hip-Hop Songs, Top Trap Latino, among others. However, it should be ruled out that the different extensions that the app currently has facilitated and personalize its use, improving the user experience. Some of the most important extensions are Forgotify, The Set Listener and Vidfish.
The success achieved with the renewal of the application led its creator to think about expanding further entering the stock market in 2018 with a market value of $ 26.5 billion. Since then, the app has not stopped growing and innovating, improving the user experience and consolidating itself as one of the most important apps of the moment. Facing tough opponents like Tidal, Pandora, and iTunes, in addition to the voices that announce their downfall. Currently, Spotify has more than 207 million users and it is available in 65 countries in Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania.

Huawei History
Huawei (1987) Chinese high-tech private multinational company. Ren Zhengfei is its founder. It is headquartered in Shenzhen, Canton Province, People's Republic of China. The company was born with an investment of only $5,600. The company started as a telecommunications operator. Twenty years ago, the first mobile device was launched and from then on they have created several cell phones.
Huawei is the third-largest smartphone company globally in 2016, its revenues reached $ 75.1 billion. Huawei is the only Chinese company in the top 50 that has a high Research and Development rate. Thanks to innovation, Huawei managed to market more than 100 million mobile devices in 12 months.
One of the reasons for success is its continuous change of CEO. The position is managed by three senior executives, who promote collective leadership. Also, employees are owners. Zhenfei owns only 1.4% of the shares, the rest of the shares are distributed among employees. So, Huawei combines a high investment in R&D and decentralized management.
According to Forbes, the Chinese company is one of the most valuable brands of 2017 and occupies the 88th place, with a brand value of 7.3 billion dollars. Another ranking to highlight is the Fortune 500, Huawei is ranked 83 in this ranking. Recently, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro has been chosen as the best cell phone of the year 2017. Huawei Mate 10 Pro managed to overcome several cell phones for its features and functions. It has a Kirin 970 processor, the first chip with artificial intelligence is the exclusive property of the company. This processor seeks to optimize system resources, ensure more efficient battery consumption, recognize images or offer real-time responses.
Thus, Huawei has become a reference in the technological world and the Smartphone. This year there have been several launches of new devices, which aim to meet the high expectations of consumers.
UNITED STATES AGAINST HUAWEI
The panic has spread to millions of Huawei cell phone owners who are going through a moment of uncertainty after the announcement issued by Google that indicates they will not continue providing their software to the Chinese company, on the express orders of the president of the United States. This is part of a so-called Cold War of telecommunications: Huawei was included in the US blacklist considering it as a danger to society.
So, the executive order issued by the president of the United States, Donald Trump is: do not sell component or software to Huawei. At the moment, Google is working on the details and implications of such an act and will continue to offer the Android experience without restrictions, including access to the Google app store. In the short term, Huawei seeks to support users' applications and operating systems.
Huawei said they work on their operating system, based on a public version of Android and is already available in the Chinese market (cell phones use a highly modified Android system and do not have Google applications). The next generation of phones is expected to have this operating system. This could have a great impact because users tend to lean towards the operating system rather than the brand of the phone when buying. It will take an incredible device that surplus the services of Google Maps, Google Mail, Google Chrome and other Google Play apps. But, the challenge can be positive.

Raheem Sterling scored a hat-trick in England's 5-0 victory over Slovakia on Friday night. He is playing an excellent season for Manchester City, scoring 19 goals and providing 16 assists across all competitions.
Tony Cascarino, who works as a pundit for talkSPORT believes the young winger has transformed into one of Europe's finest players.
"At the moment he's one of the ten most valuable players in Europe. If you were Real Madrid or any of the biggest clubs in Europe, and you saw the way he tore apart Spain, you'll be thinking: 'He's 24, if we can get him we'll take him'.
"There will be clubs all over Europe looking at him. What sort of fee would you be looking at? Well, Ousmane Dembele at Barcelona – he's a fantastic talent, incredibly quick and dangerous and he went for a lot of money, around €140million.
However, the former Republic of Ireland striker thinks that Raheem Sterling should stay with Manchester City and Pep Guardiola.
"As long as Pep is there, why would you leave a top manager?
"Raheem deserves to have a top manager with him who is going to improve him and keep getting the very, very best out of him," he added.


Marty L, Dieckmann U, Rochet M-J, & Ernande B (2011). Impact of environmental covariation in growth and mortality on evolving maturation reaction norms. The American Naturalist 177 (4): E98-E118. DOI:10.1086/658988.
Maturation age and size have important fitness consequences through their effects on survival probabilities and body sizes. The evolution of maturation reaction norms in response to environmental covariation in growth and mortality is therefore a key subject of life-history theory. The eco-evolutionary model we present and analyze here incorporates critical features that earlier studies of evolving maturation reaction norms have often neglected: the trade-off between growth and reproduction, source-sink population structure, and population regulation through density-dependent growth and fecundity. We report the following findings. First, the evolutionarily optimal age at maturation can be decomposed into the sum of a density-dependent and a density-independent component. These components measure, respectively, the hypothetical negative age at which an individual's length would be 0 and the delay in maturation relative to this offset. Second, along any growth trajectory, individuals mature earlier when mortality is higher. This allows us to deduce, third, how the shapes of evolutionarily optimal maturation reaction norms depend on the covariation between growth and mortality (positive or negative, linear or curvilinear, and deterministic or probabilistic). Providing eco-evolutionary explanations for many alternative reaction-norm shapes, our results appear to be in good agreement with current empirical knowledge on maturation dynamics.

James Bond 25: Cast, plot details, filming locations confirmed
Oscar winner Rami Malek will play the film's villain
on April 25, 2019, 8:46am
Daniel Craig and Rami Malek
Details of the 25th James Bond film were announced on Thursday morning during a live streaming event in Jamaica, home of James Bond creator Ian Fleming. Update – August 20th: The film is titled No Time to Die.
Most notably, director Cary Joji Fukunaga confirmed the film's cast, which includes returning cast members Daniel Craig as 007, Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw as Q, Léa Seydoux as Dr. Madeleine Swann, Ralph Fiennes as M., Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter, and Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner.
They'll be joined by new cast members, including Oscar winner Rami Malek, who will play the film's villain, Billy Magnussen, Dali Benssalah, Ana De Armas, David Dencik, and Lashana Lynch.
Though the plot details are being kept under wraps, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli did reveal that when the film begins, "Bond is not on active service, he's enjoying himself in Jamaica. He starts his journey here."
(Ranking: Every James Bond Theme from Worst to Best)
"His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help," adds in a press release. "The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond on to the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
In addition to Jamaica, on-location filming will take place in Norway, London, and the small Italian town of Matara.
Today's announcement follows a number of false starts and creative issues, which ultimately delayed the release of the film. Original director Danny Boyle left the project over "creative differences", leading to Fukunaga's hiring. Additionally, Fleabag and Killing Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge was brought in to liven up the film's script.
As of now, the film is scheduled to see release on April 8th, 2020.
Bond 25 serves as the follow-up to 2015's Spectre and marks Craig's final turn as Bond.

Sports Beat: Disk golf not good way for Woods to go
Pat McCann | News Herald Executive Sports Editor
It was beginning to look like an early nomination for worst performance in an ongoing dramatic series when Tiger Woods stepped to the ninth tee on Sunday in the Bridgestone International.
One swing, the immediate reaction, and sight of Woods gingerly trying to get comfortable as a golf cart transported him off the course put that into perspective.
The aftermath is that if Woods competes in the PGA Championship this week, or tees it up anywhere in the coming months the absurdity of that decision will trump anything that happened Sunday.
It begs the thought that the worst thing that ever happened to Tiger Woods, and that statement resounds considering how his image took a major hit from his indiscretions and dissolution of his marriage, was when he won the U.S. Open in 2008 playing on a damaged knee.
Most of us forget that he underwent knee surgery two months prior to that triumph, and two days following the Open announced he'd miss the remainder of the season due to further surgery, and that the knee was more severely damaged than previously revealed.
More precisely, it probably wasn't strong enough to withstand the rigors of competition that he put it through and was damaged by his playing.
Sunday was the ultimate display of what makes you strong also makes you weak as Woods continued to exert his will against the forces of nature. His physical limitations are preventing him from competing at the level he is accustomed to.
Woods' prognosis? Play through it.
That is a disposition we admire in athletics as well as everyday life. Overcome obstacles. Don't settle for anything less than excellence.
Not in this instance. Hopefully someone, and only his mother comes to mind, can convince Woods that the enemy currently isn't his golf swing or his body. The enemy is within. He needs to back away for a while.
Because Sunday revealed a spectacle few of us thought we ever would witness — Tiger Woods playing like a 12-handicapper.
When CBS came on the air early Sunday afternoon it evidently didn't realize that some of us had watched Woods play the front nine on the Golf Channel and didn't see him wincing in obvious pain until the tee shot on No. 9. Contrasting how his withdrawal from the tournament initially was framed, what we mostly saw was a man lost in a forest struggling mightily to find a path to lead him back into the sunlight.
Woods birdied No. 1, then played the next seven holes like he was in a hypnotic trance. He tried to punch a fade over a tall stand of trees on No. 3 when a gentle draw appeared to serve him just as well and wound up in the water. Looking back, maybe the draw wasn't available to him because of his back was starting to flare.
Woods came up 65 yards short of the green on a par 3. Later he drove into no-man's land, tried to resurrect one of his miracles and wound up playing through at a concession stand. He resultantly gave his third shot a mighty thrash and did produce a fabulous shot within 15 feet, but it only saved bogey.
A bladed bunker shot sailed over the green and rolled back down the fairway leading to a pedestrian up-and-down attempt and double bogey, and then his body finally gave out on No. 9.
Rory McElroy was the big winner on Sunday, but so, too, was U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson who has been walking a tightrope on whether or not to include Woods on the team. Sunday's performance rubber-stamped his decision, and with Dustin Johnson no longer eligible to play because of his drug suspension, and that's in essence what it is, the U.S. squad could resemble the web.com tour when it takes on the Europeans in the fall.
So be it. That's probably when we're most dangerous these days in that competition.
Tiger Woods continues to be dangerous, but not to Jack Nicklaus' record for major championships or to any Top 10 list that international golf can devise.
He's dangerous to himself. Here's one thought that he still can be a major champion again during his career, but only after he confronts his mortality as an athlete.

Q: Tensorflow batch matrix multiplication I would like to multiply a batched matrix X with dimension [batch_size, m, n] with a matrix Y of size[n,l], how should I do this?
It looks like I cannot just use matmul. Is there a neat way to do this?
Thanks!

A: You can use tf.einsum with equation ijk,kl->ijl, i.e. multiply the last dimension of X and first dimension of Y, and sum it over:
x = np.arange(12).astype(np.int32).reshape(2,3,2)
y = np.arange(6).astype(np.int32).reshape(2,3)

X = tf.constant(x)
Y = tf.constant(y)

with tf.Session() as sess:
    print(sess.run(tf.einsum('ijk,kl->ijl', X, Y)))
#[[[ 3  4  5]
#  [ 9 14 19]
#  [15 24 33]]

# [[21 34 47]
#  [27 44 61]
#  [33 54 75]]]

The corresponding solution from numpy:
x @ y
#array([[[ 3,  4,  5],
#        [ 9, 14, 19],
#        [15, 24, 33]],

#       [[21, 34, 47],
#        [27, 44, 61],
#        [33, 54, 75]]], dtype=int32)

np.dot(x, y)
#array([[[ 3,  4,  5],
#        [ 9, 14, 19],
#        [15, 24, 33]],

#       [[21, 34, 47],
#        [27, 44, 61],
#        [33, 54, 75]]], dtype=int32)

I am running 64 bit R on a Google Cloud Engine linux instance with 8 cores and 7.2 GB Memory. I see other folks having trouble with the memory limits in R, but I don't understand why I am limited at so far below the physical allocation on the instance. A trace of the memory usage at the system level shows that the machine is not low on memory. The ulimit is set to unlimited for everything that looks important (output below). Question: how to increase the amount of memory R can allocate to vectors?
The code is designed to test the scalability/time gains from using randomForest on parallel cores.  It works until the model needs to be fit with 6000 training examples, so I know the code functions for at least the inner most 2 loops. I've also tried adding explicit GC calls, and it the gcinfo output says I have ~50% remaining until I need to build the bigger model (with 6000 input points).
Code:
install.packages(c("randomForest", "doMC", "foreach", "dismo", "raster", "gbm", "SDMTools", "RMySQL", "rgdal", "gam", "earth"), repos='http://cran.mtu.edu/')

In celebration of the year gone by, the Star-Bulletin's staff photographers have prepared this collection of their most meaningful images of 2005. On any given day, our photojournalists might be asked to capture the drama of a crime scene, the excitement of a sporting event, the simple pleasures of island life -- or perhaps all of the above. The images on these pages reflect that vital mix, as each photographer was asked to select a single favorite piece, with no specific criteria. They chose these pictures for their news value, their emotional impact or in some cases, for their simple beauty.
This was a beautiful day for the senior class of St. Andrew's Priory School. The junior class decorated the courtyard to honor the young women before them as they proceeded through their rite of passage called the Ascension Day Coral Cross Ceremony. At the culmination the class sang "I Hope You Dance" as girls gently dropped petals from the balconies. You can almost hear the singing while looking at this photograph.
On Nov. 30 a dump truck and a school bus were involved in an accident at the intersection of 9th and Waialae avenues in Kaimuki. "Arriving on the scene, I was relieved to find no apparent life-threatening injuries. It was very chaotic, with Police and Fire Department personnel tending to the victims. At one point two of the victims reached out and held hands. In times of stress people seek comfort in each other, young or old. These two girls were going to get through it together."
"Luck plays a large part in sports photography, but you have to be ready as well when something happens. When I saw Michihisa Asano celebrate after decking Steven Okano at an MMA preliminary fight at the K1 World Grand Prix at Aloha Stadium, I had only a second to compose and shoot the photo."
"I was driving by Manoa Valley District Park when I noticed the parking lot was full of cars. I thought I'd stop to see what was going on. ... When a lot of people are gathered, there's a chance for a good picture. I found out it was the Manoa East/West Classified Swim Meet. I took the usual action pictures, but my favorite was of these girls just having a good time while waiting to compete. One of them, Rachel Owen, had written on her back, 'GO Slow! & Let Me Win!' I love these slice-of-life photos, even though they may not be big news and people tend to overlook them. This image wasn't selected to run in the newspaper at the time, but I think these fleeting moments of everyday life are great." With Rachel are her cousin Becky Owen, right, and friend Nicole Mitsunaga. All three are 11 years old, swimming for Manoa Aquatics.
A Youth Outreach client named Angie pauses to hug the safe-house mascot, Starr. Located in Waikiki, the safe house seeks to give temporary shelter and health education to runaways on the streets of Waikiki. "In our profession, much ado is often made about overseas assignments and coverage of the 'big stories.' But community news has just as much potential to open our eyes and our hearts. In a year of so many national and international disasters, it is sometimes easy to forget the need and tragedy in our own back yard."
"I worked with Hawaii photojournalist John Titchen for years, so it was only fitting that I take his portrait when he opened an exhibit of his pictures of Duke Kahanamoku. We took our time, doing a lot of reminiscing and laughing. We even drove to my home to get a Rolleiflex, the kind of camera John used to take the Duke's photos. As we worked, he proudly signed autographs for awe-struck tourists, acknowledging his part in recording the history of modern Hawaii."
"This photo of a competitor in the Honolulu Triathlon is a reminder of my trip to Sportsshooter Academy in February. My mentors there stressed the importance of using light to your advantage to make dramatic sports pictures, because our eyes see things differently from the camera."

cPanel is the most famous web hosting Control Panel out there. But that does not imply that it is the best - it has numerous faults and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer regarded as faults by the majority of people. But just because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be okay nowadays.

With Hepsia, you receive a plethora of cost-free extras.
With cPanel, the free-of-charge bonuses you obtain depend on the hosting accounts provider, which means that you can also get a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.
Tests have revealed that the Hepsia hosting CP is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel CP.
While with the The cPanel Control Panel you do your job, it's designed on ideas from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
Administering 10 separate web sites with the Hepsia hosting CP is as difficult as administering 1 or 2 websites.

Sunday Night Dread and a Place of Self Preservation – End of the Day for April 13, 2014
Back when I worked in an office full time, Sunday nights were a time of dread. Starting in the early afternoon the bad feelings would start to creep in. I would begin to think — and worry – -about everything that faced me when I went into work the next morning. I knew it was foolish but I couldn't seem to break out of it. I wasn't really happy doing what I was doing — and dealing with some pretty nasty stress-related illnesses, too — so I knew I had to do something. It took me a long time, but I eventually was able to work for myself and I found that sickness and Sunday Night dread soon became only a bad memory.
Since I couldn't remove myself from the trouble at the time, though, I tried to sublimate it in other ways. We were living in North Hollywood at the time, a few blocks away from a funky bookstore/coffeehouse/hangout spot called the Iguana Cafe. Sunday nights often found me there, burying (or maybe, ignoring) my Sunday Night Dread in the weekly open mic night, thumbing through books, drinking "coffee" and generally trying to forget what was facing me come the morning. This didn't solve the problem completely, by any means, but drowning my sorrows in the arts was much better than drowning it in alcohol or drugs. I was writing poetry at the time, even reading some at the club and also held and my one and only art show there, too. The Iguana served me well over the years and I am still good friends with several people I met there.
In looking for some pictures online, I came across this article, written by Rosanne, that appeared in the LA Times in 1995.
That Mangy-Looking Joint May Have Great Personality : The Iguana Cafe wasn't trendy, but it was a refuge for many looking for good company and free coffee, as well as those seeking an audience for their music or writing.
All of this reminiscing is a long way of telling you that you need to seek out refuges in your own life whenever it starts to feel overwhelming. A refuge won't solve your problems, but it can give you a small place of respite, where you can heal — even a small bit — and engage in an enjoyable activity to counteract those times when you are under pressure or stressed in other ways. This little act of self preservation could be the one act that prevents you from straying to other, unproductive (and even dangerous) behaviors and even give you enough peace and quiet to figure out how you are going to extricate yourself from your unpleasant situation. Sometimes a salve on your troubles is all that you can give yourself, but a salve can at least reduce the effects and grant you some time and space to think about how you can change things for the better.
Have you ever suffered from Sunday Night Dread? How did you cope? What are your favorite "self preservation" locations? Are these spaces helping you find a better, long-term solution to your issues?

NOT A DRILL: Zayn Malik has uploaded the first #ZIGI selfie to Instagram.
Well Mr Zayn Malik certainly is getting his name and face about this weekend isn't he? First of all he uploads the cutest Dubsmash ever, then gets slammed by his former boss. Not content with all this attention, the Bradford Bad Boi (self proclaimed, may we add) then went and uploaded his first selfie with new girlfriend, model Gigi Hadid.
Zayn Instagrammed the polaroid in black and white (of course) and being as mysterious as ever, let it captionless.
We must admit Zigi are looking adorbs in the pic, even if it does look a bit like Gigi's picking a bit of food out of Zayn's beard.

The Supreme Court's decision on a Texas abortion ban raises the stakes for the Pa. governor's race
By Danielle Ohl

Pennsylvania abortion-rights advocates and their opponents agreed Wednesday that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to let a Texas law banning most abortions go into effect could clear the way for a similar prohibition here if Republicans win the 2022 governor's race.
The Texas law bans most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, before most people know they're pregnant. One of the nation's most restrictive abortion measures, it allows private citizens to enforce the law by suing providers or others who assist people in accessing abortions.
It took effect Wednesday after the high court declined to block it. Just before midnight, the justices in a 5-4 decision said they wouldn't stop the law while lower court proceedings play out.
Abortion is still legal in Pennsylvania up to about 24 weeks into a pregnancy, but Republican-backed legislation would ban the procedure after a doctor identifies a fetal heartbeat, usually around six weeks. Another bill that passed the state House in June would prohibit abortions sought solely because of a Down syndrome diagnosis.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, has previously vetoed similar efforts to curtail abortion rights and said Wednesday he would do so again, should either bill reach his desk before he leaves office in January 2023. But next year's gubernatorial election could put a Republican in office, likely clearing a path for a strict abortion ban to become law. Republicans already control the legislature and are not expected to lose it next year.
State Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin, is the lead sponsor of legislation that would require a doctor to seek a fetal heartbeat before performing an abortion. Doctors who detect a heartbeat could not legally perform the procedure.
"I am obviously very excited and happy about this," said Mastriano, who is widely seen as a likely candidate for governor himself. State Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, R-Clinton, introduced identical legislation in the House, but the measure has been tabled.
Mastriano called on Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, R-Centre, and Republican leadership to have the "courage" to move those efforts forward. (Corman recently replaced Mastriano, who has risen to national prominence by denying the legitimacy of President Joe Biden's win, as the leader of an "audit" of the 2020 election results.)
Corman spokesperson Jason Thompson deferred comment to Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward, R-Westmoreland, who sets the chamber's agenda. Erica Clayton Wright, a spokesperson for Ward, said legislative priorities for the fall session are still in discussion.
Pennsylvania already places significant restrictions on people seeking abortions, said Sue Frietsche, founder and director of the Women's Law Project. Laws on the books require a pregnant person to wait 24 hours after receiving mandatory counseling discouraging abortion, require abortion clinics to meet specifications usually reserved for surgical facilities, and prevent minors from receiving abortions without parental consent.
Frietsche's organization has sued to block such laws, but challenges that worked in decades past did not hold up as courts grew more conservative, she said.
The conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court could still strike down the Texas law in response to a challenge from a provider or advocacy group, and the court is set to decide a potentially monumental case in Mississippi, where a bill would ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Should a Texas-style abortion ban pass under a different governor, legal organizations could also challenge it in state court under the Pennsylvania Constitution.
The Women's Law Project is doing just that in a suit against the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, which argues that a law barring patients receiving Medicaid from paying for abortions with their state-funded insurance violates equal protection provisions of the state constitution. A 1980s suit seeking to overturn the same law failed, Frietsche said, because the state's highest court ruled abortion was unrelated to women's rights.
"We knew less then than we know now about how devastating being denied an abortion can be to women's health and future and lives," Frietsche said. "Case law has evolved over the decades to show abortion is a right centered in women's equality — that is the precedent we're fighting in our case."
The Pennsylvania Medicaid case will likely begin oral arguments before the state Supreme Court early next year.
Republicans seeking to successfully implement new abortion restrictions will have to wait until at least next session. Wolf will still be in office when the current legislative session ends in November 2022.
Signe Espinoza, interim director of Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania Advocates, said her organization will be mobilizing abortion-rights advocates across the state for the 2022 election.
"We know sexual and reproductive health care and rights, including abortion rights, will be a big issue for voters," she said. "We plan to go big in 2022."
