Enabling Self-Sufficiency
With few skills with which to earn a living, many women of Jacmel, Haiti, suffer in extreme poverty. Here, hope comes as a beautiful surprise.
Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. In rural areas, 84% of the population lives in poverty and 69% in extreme poverty, surviving on less than a dollar a day. After the tragic earthquake of 2010, matters became worse as infrastructure, and any sense of stability, literally crumbled.
In the port town of Jacmel, where the earthquake damaged 70% of all homes, literacy levels are low, child mortality rates are high, and women in particular struggle for lack of jobs and security. Here, families commonly can only afford to eat one meal a day.
Yet, for some, hope comes in the form of a very special school, where vital vocational skills can be learned as confidence is restored.
The tuition-free school, run by Association des Femmes pour le Developpement (Association of Women for Development), trains impoverished, often illiterate, teenage girls and single mothers in the art of cosmetology, a field that promises jobs and promotes self-reliance.
Here, students meet five days a week for a year, learning skills including skin care, hair styling, weaves and perms, manicures and pedicures, and the use of chemical solutions. Instructors serve as mentors, role models, baby sitters, mothers, and teachers in the school's welcoming environment, where participants not only learn, but form a supportive group in which challenges and hardships can be discussed and overcome together.
Once they graduate, students report that employment is easily gained, and that their new trade offers young mothers in particular the freedom to choose their hours, open their own salons, and even work from home.
Yet, while this beautiful school is doing much to improve lives, it is in dire need of upgrade. Some of the electrical equipment, such as the hair dryer, is reported to be more a source of danger than a teaching tool, and instructional materials are so scarce that new classes can no longer be promised.
The Pan-African Association hopes to raise $9,750 to allow for the full modernization and expansion of the school, including new equipment, supplies, and materials for 26 new students over a two-year period. Such an undertaking means that it will only cost $375 to enable a deserving young woman to secure a livelihood for a lifetime, and ensure that their families will finally be released from the bonds of hunger and poverty.
To help , donate online, or mail your tax-deductible contribution to: Pan-African Association, 6163 North Broadway, Chicago, IL 60660. All donors will receive regular updates as to the school's progress. With your help, poverty can become a thing of the past as beautiful hope becomes reality.


Yes, I understand that Windows Explorer displays some of the data in the Properties tab, but would like to see the info. being displayed in a program dialog itself (hopefully with much better UI so viewing/editing is easer).
If the "snap when near" feature's still there and that's where they end up after snapping, it's great! Also love the new floating window toggles in 4.0. BTW, that title font for the floating windows needs to be reduced (or maybe the pre-alpha's just using an incorrect font), since "Tools" is completely visible in 3.5.10 without getting truncated. Also, I hope you kept that "bring window to top on mouse hover" feature, but extended it to all the floating windows. It certainly saves clicks and is nice to have. I know it might seem petty but I get pretty bugged even about small UI quirks, so thanks a lot for fixing it and looking forward to 4.0 being released.
Using Paint.NET 3.5.10 on Win7 x64. As you can see, the floating windows snap together all right when in proximity to each other, but do so incorrectly (they overlap). Please look into this minor issue if possible for the next release. Thanks!
Apologies, won't happen again. I'm just used to various other fora that clearly state that new topics are to be created only if existing open topics about the same subject don't already exist, no matter how old. Anything else is considered littering the forum, but I see that the rules here differ and will be careful in future to follow the same. Thank you, a confirmation one way or another is all I was looking for (and who knows, maybe one day in a galaxy far, far away... ). I will use the existing lossless JPEG transform apps for this purpose and Paint.Net for everything else.
Thank you both for the quick replies. Umm, nothing? But if I have JPGs already, why should I convert them to PNG first to crop them or perform other operations which I know can be done without any loss of quality whatsoever? I'm a bit confused by you stating that I'm "not editing or manipulating existing jpegs". If I'm getting you right (in combination with Rick's post above), what you're saying is that on opening a JPG it is automatically being converted in the background to another format, and thus after editing it needs to be re-saved? But if we have lossless JPEG support built-in, it would simply skip that BG conversion bit on opening JPGs and perform all transformations losslessly, right? Of course, if non-lossless operations are carried out then the JPG will need to be re-saved with attendant quality loss, but if only lossless operations are carried out then there need be no loss at all. I'm not a programmer, so what's the problem here? Is there some basic technical issue preventing such a feature from ever being implemented, or is it just a case of "it's possible, but not right away"? Please note that I'm not demanding someone should start working on this right now, but it would be nice to have it at least acknowledged and considered for a forthcoming version. As for alternatives, I mentioned some names above of apps I'm already using. I posted here because I would prefer to do all the work in Paint.Net itself instead of switching over to something else.
Just tried Paint.Net for the first time, and I love it! So much better than that useless Paint, so thanks for a wonderful tool! I was just wondering whether I missed it, but I didn't see any way to view technical information about the currently open image. Is there such a dialog, and if not, can you add it to the next version please? Would really come in handy, especially if you can additionally add complete EXIF data viewing/editing support in the same properties dialog. If this latter bit is too much, even a basic dialog displaying the image properties would be very nice indeed. Thanks for considering my request.

Tina Brazil - Senior Vice President, Unit C Vice President, CHP-PSDA President (Dispatcher CHP)
California Highway Patrol dispatchers are the first to answer nearly all of the state's 911 calls from cell phones which amounts to more than nine million calls a year . As a dispatcher for more than 27 years, more than 18 of them as a CHP public safety dispatcher at the Merced CHP Communications Center, Tina Brazil is an expert in handling any emergency call for help and dispatching officers to a scene. She now lends that expertise to help improve the working conditions, training, and salaries of all CHP public safety dispatchers.
Brazil was paramount in getting CHP dispatchers POST (Peace Officer Standards Training) certified and continually works to improve training, hours and communication between dispatchers and managers. She also works to educate the public on the everyday life-saving work dispatchers perform and what information is needed when calling 911.
"There are some advantages to being a CHP dispatcher," says Brazil, "such as mobility within the state and upward advancement, but they don't counterbalance some of the other problems, which I believe that my very motivated association can help with—together with willing administrators."
In addition to her role as CHP-PSDA president, Brazil has a leadership role on the CSLEA Board of Directors serving as senior and Unit-C vice president. She also serves on the CSLEA Political Action Committee, Foundation Committee, Membership Event Committee and as a Legal Defense Fund trustee.
Brazil's experience in emergency services and dispatching includes time as an emergency medical technician (EMT) and emergency medical dispatcher with Turlock Ambulance. She later went to work for the Livingston Police Department (Merced County) as a public safety dispatcher, where she also was its first-responder instructor, teaching officers and staff in CPR and other first-aid techniques.
She was born in Modesto and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and later in Turlock, California, where she graduated from Turlock High School. Brazil comes from a rodeo family and background. She makes her home in Turlock with her husband. She has three children and five grandchildren.

Thomson Digital Ventures into the EdTech Space, Launches Q&I
Thomson Digital, a pioneer in providing publishing solutions to the global publishing fraternity announced its foray into the EdTech industry with the launch of Q&I (www.qanditoday.com), a first-of-its-kind assessment-led platform for the preparation of JEE and NEET.
Q&I's radically different approach shifts away from general syllabus-based learning to unique need-based learning. The platform's adaptive learning engine curates a customized and clear preparation plan for an individual by providing a detailed subject and topic-wise analysis and benchmarking each individual's performance with the peer group. It conducts a diagnostic test that analyses the students' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and hurdles and accordingly supports the students' journey of preparation and clearing the competitive exams.
Talking about the product at length, Vinay Singh, Executive Director and CEO, Thomson Digital and Q&I, said, "Q&I is a platform specifically curated for students preparing for JEE and NEET. The platform understands that each individual is unique, with different strengths, goals, and needs and accordingly aims to help students with a personalized approach using the power of AI, data analytics and machine learning to facilitate faster learning based on intrinsic abilities and preferences. Through this platform, we aim to bring a paradigm shift in the competitive exam preparation segment and most importantly to bring 'tech' back into EdTech."
Thomson Digital's Q&I (www.qanditoday.com) can play a critical role as a support system with the schools to help students prepare for competitive exams. The platform offers 7 day free trial and also plans to offer scholarships for the students.
India's education system has huge growth potential, a seamless shift to digital learning won't be possible if EdTech platforms only create a parallel structure for offline lectures. A sustained focus on personalized learning and the use of relevant tech tools can help provide robust outcomes for students and the industry could then emerge as a catalyst for greater growth in India's education landscape.
About Q&I
Q&I is a breakthrough EdTech platform curated by Thomson Digital. The platform has been built by experts from IITs, NITs and IISER with an aim to revolutionise entrance exam preparation in India.
It is an adaptive, assessment-led learning platform that places the students at the center of its design. It uses AI, ML technologies and a hyper-layered gradation of concepts to unlock insights about all student's unique strengths and areas of improvement at a topic, sub-topic and concept level in a given subject. The insights serve as a foundation for a super-customised learning support that works uniquely for every student and empowers them to craft their own preparation journey based on their unique strengths and learning styles and pace.

The Moonglows — влиятельная американская ритм-энд-блюз и ду-воп музыкальная группа, основанная в начале 50-х гг. двадцатого века.

Карьера
Первоначальное название коллектива — «Moondog». Основан на родине участников — Луисвилл (штат Кентукки). После переезда группы в Кливленд, их заметил легендарный диск-жокей Алан Фрид и предложил группе взять новое название — «the Moonglows».

Первые синглы группы начали выходить с 1953 года, а в 1954 году, перейдя на «Chess Records», «the Moonglows», выпустили сингл «Sincerely», ставший Рнб-хитом № 1 в США. В следующие 3 года «the Moonglows» выпустили еще несколько хитов, таких как «Most of All», «In My Diary», «When I'm With You», «See Saw», «We Go Together», and «Please Send Me Someone to Love».

В 1957 году группа снялась в музыкальном фильме Алана Фрида «Rock, Rock, Rock», с участием Чака Берри и «The Flamingos».

В 1958 году группа перешла на лейбл «Harvey & the Moonglows», на котором вышла песня «Ten Commandments of Love», ставшая главным хитом коллектива № 2, после «Sincerely». В этом же году состав группы был существенно изменен, за что и получил неофициальное название «The New Moonglows». С этого момента релизы коллектива не имеют былого коммерческого успеха. В 1972 году «the Moonglows» прекратили своё существование, лишь изредка возобновляя концертную деятельность.

В 1999 году «the Moonglows» получили награду «Vocal Group Hall of Fame», в 2000 введены в Зал славы рок-н-ролла.

IMPACT 0348: YOUNG AWARD-WINNING FILMMAKER USES DARK COMEDY AND SATIRE IN FILMS
Calleen Koh, 23, is the director of award-winning animated short films, Sexy Sushi (2020) and To Kill the Birds & the Bees (2021). The latter film swept up three awards at the National Youth Film Awards in 2021 for Best Art Direction, Best Screenplay and Best Original Music.
She finds pleasure in creating dark comedies in response to difficult topics she feels strongly about, as she believes that laughter is one of the best ways to engage an audience when tackling themes that are difficult to talk about. Today, she brings us on a journey of what she does!
I do many creative things for fun and professionally: I did fine arts during my time in School of the Arts, Singapore (SOTA), and dabbled in fashion shoots here and there.
But most recently, I'm the director of two animated short films that were created during my time in LASALLE as an animation student! The two films are Sexy Sushi and To Kill the Birds & the Bees. Both are musical dark comedies about things I found intriguing and important at the time.
Sexy Sushi follows the hypersexualisation of anthropomorphic sushis that look human, and the eventual existential crisis they face about their empty life in the limelight. It was a fun way to explore existential themes within consumerism through the satire of sexually charged Japanese advertisements.
On the other hand, To Kill the Birds & the Bees explored a cross-generational conflict in attitudes about sex in Singapore through three whacky stories of various Singaporeans – a pair of young twins home alone, a secondary school prefect and a conservative housewife.
Currently, I'm in the midst of developing a new short film that is in line with my previous work, its working title is Hot Buns. But this is my "nighttime" job. In the daytime, I'm a designer and animator at a local independent animation studio, Finding Pictures.
Your film To Kill the Birds & the Bees has made waves locally, even being screened in theatres at SGIFF. What motivated you to create this film?
Growing up in Singapore, I always had this sense that there was a dire lack of honest conversations surrounding riskier topics in our mainstream media, with sex being one of the main ones. I remember my perception of how people made babies was so skewed as a kid watching local dramas – I thought that all it took to get pregnant was to lie in bed fully-clothed with the opposite sex!
There were also many other contributing sources of inspiration such as inadequate sex education, the growing list of sexual harassment cases in our top universities, and also The Straits Times comments section whenever something remotely scandalous had happened. When I pieced everything together, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry about how bad we are at expressing sexuality in a healthy manner.
In my final year studying animation at LASALLE, I had the opportunity to direct my final-year project and I thought tackling the state of sexual discourse in our country would be so fitting as an animated social satire! And thankfully, my wonderful teammates also shared the same sentiments on this issue, and thus, the film was born!
What were some challenges you faced when creating your films?
I think it was always trying to properly curate the message in my films. As I use dark comedy and satire in my works a lot, it can feel like I'm walking on eggshells, whether I'm going too far with the jokes or if the jokes are well-balanced enough. I always feel that it's important to reflect on how the content I put in will affect the different kinds of audience that might come across my film.
One way I overcame this was to keep showing different people my work-in-progress! Letting fresh eyes look at my work was a good way to tell if I was on the right track or whether some of my content was pushing it too far. If my test audience didn't get what I was trying to show, then I would know what to tweak!
What is one piece of advice you would like to share to fellow youths who aspire to pursue filmmaking or animation?
Grow thick skin! It is not an easy industry to navigate – a lot of it is having the initiative to put yourself out there, to get to know collaborators, and also being able to handle criticism when they come your way.
What are your hopes or plans for the future?
I generally don't plan my life in great strides anymore after COVID-19 keeps playing with my feelings, and the world is also changing so fast everyday. I may wish to make a movie now, but who knows if by the time I get there, there may be something cooler than movies already. Maybe by then, we will all be inside the Metaverse or something, who knows!
Instead, I've been making small targets for myself based on projects that come my way while also keeping an open mind for what I can do in future! For now, I just hope my upcoming film can be another film I will be proud of and will be one that people will enjoy!


FORKS – At Olympic Corrections Center (OCC) in Forks, Washington, incarcerated individuals are learning about sustainable horticulture. Currently there are 18 students enrolled through education classes offered by Peninsula College.
Students can earn up to 40 college credits over two quarters of classes. The subjects range from soil science, botany, plant identification, propagation, and current day food systems. In addition to academic classroom time, students receive hands-on experience managing and operating a 4000 square foot greenhouse.
Greenhouse operations include various methods of propagating plants, pest and disease control, and landscape design. The students create living walls, hyper tufa pots, and bedding plants for sale to OCC staff and the occasional farmers market. Proceeds from the horticulture sales are invested back into the program to cover costs and enhance the program.
"It is rewarding to see students learn and gain experience in a field they knew very little about. They are learning the environmental impacts of current agriculture systems in relation to the food they are growing. This opportunity expands their global perspective and further enhances their skills for a successful community transition" states Sandra Diimmel, Corrections Education Director for Peninsula College at Olympic Corrections Center.
Corrections education and vocational training enhances public safety by allowing students to earn certificates, diplomas, and degrees. Inmates who receive such opportunities are significantly less likely to return to prison after release and are more likely to find employment than peers who do not receive educational opportunities, according to a new RAND Corporation report.

The Shepherds' Fields, outside the ancient heart of the town to which Mary and Joseph came to be registered, were in their day home to people living an insecure nomadic life on the edge of an inhospitable desert. In two millennia, the same thing might be said. Though the area is now built up, it is strangely quiet. Jerusalem can be seen, just five miles away, but it is inaccessible to most Palestinians. They are shut in behind 'security' walls which enforce the Israeli government's apartheid laws. At dawn there is no great bustle of people going to work because for most there is no work. The great city which was the source of employment for most people is closed.
Today Bethlehem is still a place of refugee camps to which people fled in 1948. They have never been granted proper human rights and they have not been allowed to return to their homes. Generations of Palestinians have grown up here, with little work, poor education, and the supervision of impotent UN monitors.
But look more closely at the Shepherd's Fields, and there is worse. The YMCA has a hostel whose mission is to rehabilitate boys and men who have been systematically tortured in Israeli prisons. They used to bear the marks of torture, but their captors, including the infamous G4S organisation, now resort to methods which leave no physical evidence on the body, but shatter the minds of the victims. They have often suffered what is known as 'shaken baby syndrome', and the shattered fragments of their minds have to be rebuilt. Innovative therapies have been developed here and at other specialist places in Palestine, to try to mend the damage.
The modern day successors of the shepherds have nowhere to pasture their flocks. Many have been forcibly 'settled' by the Israeli government, only to have their villages taken over time and again when Jewish settlers move in. The water for the flocks which once issued from natural springs has dried up, as Israel digs deep wells to syphon off the water close to the surface. It is then freely available to Jews, but rationed for non-Jews. What was once a free resource for the flocks must now be bought by the tanker load, and is often stolen back by Israeli authorities in order to force the herders and their animals to move from areas that the Israelis want for themselves.
Is there no saviour for these people? As the world acknowledges a former terrorist and jailbird who brought an end to apartheid in South Africa, can we recognise that the most fitting tribute to his life would be to end apartheid everywhere? And can we then bite the bullet, in the knowledge that only sanctions and divestment, which brought justice to South Africa, will bring an end to the apartheid in the Holy Land.
As a joint UK/South African citizen I say 'hear hear' to Tom.
The situation in the Holy Land is so complex; and it is so easy to discriminate against people both Palestinian and Jew.
I remember meeting both Palestinians and Jewish young people at Bett Shahur, all crying out for the peace to live together, respecting each other.
We must pray for all the folk of the Holy Land, and that God's will be allowed to be done.
I could not agree more with your comment!
When Christians characterize the State of Israel using the same language as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Jews may rightly wonder if they truly have repudiated their centuries of contempt for the Jewish people.
I prefer Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's position: "peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity." (March 25, 1968, in an address to a rabbinical conference).
I agree with Tom and am horrified by some of these defensive comments.
I'm horrified by the one-sided anti-Israel comments. As a Christian who has many Jewish friends and colleagues, I know exactly how such statements are heard by Jews (including Jews who are sharply critical of the policies of the Israeli government): as Christian antisemitism dressed up in "progressive" clothing. Christians who easily judge and condemn the Jewish state should do some serious soul-searching.
Helen, feel free to provide me specific references to "early Zionists" who "referred to the state they hoped to found as a 'colony.'" Such references can include writings in Modern Hebrew, since I have a passable reading knowledge of the language.
I will note that I have read quite a bit on the history of Zionism, given that I teach Jewish Studies in an American university.
"At the present time we speak of colonisation and only of colonisation. It is our short term objective".
Moshe Dayan: "since the return to Zion 100 years ago a double process of colonisation and expansion of frontiers has been going on".(1967).
Expulsion of the Arabs is also a regular theme in early Zionist writings, as I'm sure you're aware, William.
Simon S. politely asked Helen and me to pull back from the debate for the sake of Christmas. I accepted that request and agreed not to post anything else. It doesn't appear that this request applied to others. So be it. I've said "my piece" and I see how things stand here.


From September 17th through October 16th, the Hobo Railroad of Lincoln, NH will be hosting their "Hobo Harvest Time Express" event. During this time their property takes on an entirely new look! First, there is the addition of a farm stand stocked with New Hampshire made products along with a farm yard full of games for all ages. Patrons can enjoy things like pumpkin bowling, ring toss, horse shoes, bean bag toss, sack races and corn hole. There is also an antique tractor display. For the past three years, Annalee has been helping the folks at the Hobo Railroad by building the "Cornstalk Critters" that also decorate their farm yard. These life sized scarecrows make fun photo ops for everyone stopping by!
This year's timely theme for the cornstalk critters is called "Scarecrows of the Oval Office". Included in the mix of straw-filled characters are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, General Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy with his wife Jacqueline Kennedy and their two young children Caroline Kennedy & John Kennedy Jr. You'll also find Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton with a saxophone, along with the two candidates running for President in 2016, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. All of the scarecrows have traditional Annalee Doll faces! They are posed and dressed in such a way that makes them easy to recognize. The famous cornstalk critters will be on display and available for photo ops between 10:00am and 3:00pm daily.
For those looking to enjoy the fall foliage, the one hour and twenty minute round-trip train rides along the Pemigewassett River between Lincoln, North Woodstock and Woodstock, NH afford wonderful views of the autumn colors. While on the train passengers will also enjoy "A Taste of New Hampshire" with complimentary samples of various New Hampshire made items such as maple drops, pumpkin granola or apple cider. The samples vary from day to day. Departure times for the train rides are 11am and 1pm daily. A 3pm train is available on the following four Saturdays: September 24th and October 1st, 8th and 15th.

Q: Verify Robocopy Operation I want to run a scheduled script after running a Robocopy Script, which moves files between remote servers.
The requirement of this script is that, it will check whether the Robocopy script has successfully completed its operation of copying from Source Directory to Destination Directory.
If yes, then this script will purge files and folders from Source Directory .
My question is how to find out whether the Robocopy script which was run before has successfully done its job ?

A: You can use the exit codes for robocopy : http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy-exit.html

A: If you need actual file verification, a command-line utility Robomate can do that.
After copying files,
robocopy d:\foo e:\foo /mir

Just type below to verify.
robomate d:\foo e:\foo

Visit https://robomate.tk for details.

A: I'm not sure about how to do this in powershell/windows way other than calling bash to run this command.
But using the linux side of things such as WSL, one process you can manually use to check is to write a checksum for each file, copy the file over, and write a checksum for the copied file, then compare the checksums.  Can compare them in something like notepad++ with the compare plugin (run the same line sort on both files so the order matches.)
You can get the checksums recursively with find . type f -exec sha256sum {} \;
I typically copy paste the output of each to a new document in notepad++, after sort and compare, it says "files match, do you want to close them" I say yes to close, no to save.  If a file checksum is not matching, then it needs to be recopied.

How To Create A 1×2 Row Vector Names Ab That Stores A As The First Entry And B As The Scond Entry?
by | Mar 6, 2022 | instagram followers
Elements such as high distortion as well as mellow sounds are more prominent features of any lofi hip-hop soundtrack. While I'm sure I've barely tapped into the world of Lo-fi hip hop, I still see it's influences everywhere in the producer world, especially in LA, and in pop culture alike. As stated in a viral tweet by @punkzbunny, "and the Grammy goes to…Lo-Fi Hip Hop Anime Chill Beats to Study and Relax to". But even as the genre draws from all around it, the real marvel of lo-fi hip-hop on YouTube is its partiality to minimalism, its desire for less.
Most of the popular YouTube channels are specifically lo-fi hip hop, a genre pioneered by black musicians like J Dilla. The brief disappearance of ChilledCow's lofi hip hop radio – beats to relax/study to on YouTube in early March 2020 sent the internet into a rage. In 2017, a form of downtempo music tagged as "chillhop" or "lo-fi hip hop" became popular among YouTube music streamers. These channels equally functioned as chatrooms, with participants often discussing their personal struggles. By 2018, Spotify's "Chill Hits" playlist had 5.4 million listeners and had been growing rapidly.
Altogether with the drums, this is the loop we have come up with. Look for a kick, hats, and a snare that share similar aesthetics, usually with background noise, lots of compression/saturation, and less high-end information. The easiest way to do this is to find appropriate samples in the first place. You can do extra processing, but minimising the amount of post-FX on the sound makes the process much more efficient and easy. Once you've got some solid chords in your DAW, let's move onto one of the key ingredients in a lo-fi beat.
If the image of an anime girl wearing headphones dutifully doing homework immediately comes to mind, then congratulations! You might listen to lo-fi, or have at least seen the various YouTube streams with a mix of those words in it. The music isn't advertised as a stand-alone aesthetic experience.
Sometimes, all you need to do is trust the taste of an enterprising kid with a YouTube channel. In 2013, YouTube began hosting live streams, which resulted in 24-hour "radio stations" dedicated to microgenres such as vaporwave, a derivation of chillwave. Compilation videos are also popular, combining the music with visuals that could take the form of recorded pedestrian walks through major cities like Tokyo, looping visuals from cartoons such as The Simpsons or other internet memes. Spotify added to the popular "lo-fi beats" wave by generating "Spotified genres", including "Chill Hits", "Bedroom Pop" playlists, and promoting numerous "chill pop" artists. Fast-forward to now, the rise of lofi hip hop / chill study beats has consequently changed the way many perceive the overall term of lofi, especially if we consider the association with hip hop.
But lo-fi embraces and exaggerates the grainy, unkempt quality of poorly recorded sound, like voices on a muffled home video. Since the pandemic is affecting people around the world, people are chatting with each other around the clock. Anecdotally, I opened Chilled Cow's live stream at 2AM ET the other night, and there were 35,000 people watching.
Then copy the MIDI part we've created here, or come up with something yourself. The sync industry works under tight deadlines, which means that the people clearing songs need all essential information in your metadata. Broke into lofi with his hit "Death Bed " on TikTok where it totaled more than 4.1 billion plays during March and has been featured in more than 5.5 million videos this year. "I think as long as this world has the power to make people feel a certain way, I'll be happy," said Maël.
But others like tomppabeats and idealism eschew the idea of genres altogether, either because they prefer to leave it up to their listeners to decide on a label or because they've just grown out of the style. "An entire generation of people were influenced by the smooth beats and trippy or relaxing background aesthetic of early 2000's Adult Swim," says Celsius. " created a cross section of people that enjoyed both anime and wavy hip-hop beats." Based DJ who runs his own suite of lo-fi hip-hop channels, says YouTube became the hotbed for his work because of the comparatively lax attitudes towards copyright law.
"Lo-fi" means "low-fidelity," a term for music where you can hear imperfections that would typically be considered errors in the recording process. On YouTube channels like ChillHop music or DreamyCow, however, those "mistakes" become an intentional part of the listening experience. Listeners from around the world let the livestream play for hours on end, and the channels have boomed in popularity during the pandemic. Lofi hip-hop's simplicity only adds to the genre's troubles, especially when money and record labels are involved. Read more about buy TikTok Followers here. As the music caters for passive listeners, it's vulnerable to labels looking to capitalize its bare structure.
After all, a happy scale seems like a poor fit for what we are trying to achieve, right? The major scale can be used for lofi hip hop, but there are better options out there. A catch-all scale that can give you a sad, reminiscing feeling is the Minor scale. It is found in many genres due to its versatility and you would be on the safe side using it. The only downside is that a Minor scale won't set your track apart from the rest of the field because people are used to hearing it across so many genres.

With Herman Cain suspending his campaign yesterday due to baseless allegations and lies on his character, we had just witnessed the death of America. I say that because it was the media and the establishment, folks like Karl Rove, Charles Krauthammer, Bill O'Reilly, Keith Olbermann, Al Sharpton, and Tavis Smiley among others, who had torn down a decent man by listening to the allegations of "women" (and I use that term loosely) like Sharon Bialek and Ginger White who claimed that Herman Cain either sexually harassed or had an affair with them. IF the media were to have done their research on these "ladies" they would have found their claims to be baseless.
Another thing that has me upset about this is the fact that the media had focused on these "allegations" because of the time frame in which they had taken place in. It seems odd to me that ALL of these allegations took place during Herman's three years as head of the National Restaurant Association. Out of 45 PLUS years of business experience that Herman Cain has, working at the Department of the Navy, Godfather's Pizza, Coca Cola, Pillsbury, the Federal Reserve bank of Kansas City, and Cox Media, the Blamestream Media decided to focus on those 3 years like a laser. If they really did their homework, they would have looked at the ENTIRE body of work and asked people who worked with him there and asked if he was like that. But the media did not because they wanted to choose our candidate for us. Well I hope the media is happy because now we are stuck with 4 more years of Obama and as such America died yesterday.
Sadly, I think you are correct on all fronts. But, we can send a message by voting for Herman Cain in the early primary states. Iowa is a caucus and he should be on the ballots of FL an SC. That is the best way I can see of letting our voices be heard and keeping his vision for America alive.
Rick, I hope you are wrong about 4 more years of Obama. That is what the media wants and the Republican establishment secretly would prefer Obama over Cain, because they are not much different from the Democrat and media establishment.
Thanks for directing me here; great blog! I have also been wondering why credence was given to THREE YEAR out of a 45 year business career when the rest has been exemplary. Perhaps he was possessed? In any event, I like your blog and will continue to follow it.


Four Christian friends have a mystery to solve. Who is in the back of the white lorry and why are they there? Prayer, faith and their Bible knowledge all help, but as things get more dangerous, Lance, Joel, Debbie and Ravi also need to be courageous and obedient. With God's protection and guidance, will they find out what is going on?
Great book if you're looking for an easy read with stacks of suspense and adventure.
"Let's have another look at that clue," said Lance. He and Joel paused under a newly lit street-light, a mile or so from where the youth club treasure hunt had started. Joel handed the clue to Lance, who read it for what seemed like the hundredth time, hoping that more words would somehow mysteriously appear to guide him. "'Take the 007 turning'," sighed Lance. "That's all it says." His fair hair gleamed in the orange glow of the street-light as he looked round for inspiration.
"I wish we knew this part of town better," muttered Joel. Lance nodded in agreement. They were on the edge of the industrial estate, where warehouses and workshops took over from the rows of terraced houses. It all looked very grey and concrete, quiet now, although it was busy during the day.
The boys hesitated in the growing dusk. They had known each other for as long as they could remember, because their mums had been friends since before they had been born. They were about the same height, both tall for their twelve years, but different in appearance; Lance was slim and fair, Joel was more solidly built with dark hair that started to curl if he left it too long between haircuts.
"I was not wrong! We definitely went north!" protested Joel.
"Maybe everyone else is wrong?" suggested Joel. Lance gave him a friendly punch.
"No way!" agreed Joel. Debbie was Joel's sister, a year older than the boys. Ravi was a newer friend, not long moved in to the area, but friend or no friend, this was a competition!
The atmosphere was getting darker and gloomier by the minute as Lance and Joel walked further into the deserted industrial estate. Shadows lengthened. A faint, acrid smell of oily tar hung in the evening air and the boys' footsteps echoed on the empty, unlit buildings as they looked around for the elusive 007.
"It's well creepy," whispered Joel, stopping in front of Tills Tiles.
"Unless he's hiding in that oasis," suggested Joel, grinning as he pointed out a group of dusty, tired-looking bushes which clung to life by the pavement in the concrete desert. Lance laughed aloud, his laugh echoing eerily round the buildings. The boys grinned at each other. Joel cupped his hands ready to hoot loudly, then stopped as the stillness was broken by the sound of an engine approaching very fast. A dirty white lorry was tearing up the road towards the boys, like a cat being chased by a dog. It thundered up to the entrance of Tills Tiles and screeched to a halt with a jolt, narrowly missing the boys, who stepped quickly back. With the engine still racing, a small, mean-looking man wearing a filthy boiler suit jumped out of the passenger side of the cab, slammed the door shut and ran to open the warehouse doors. Lance and Joel stared in shock.
Seeing them watching, the driver of the lorry, a thick-set white man with a scruffy beard, wound down his window. "Oi! What are you looking at?" he shouted roughly. The boys turned quickly away, but just as they did, a loud thumping and muffled shouting came from the back of the lorry. But there were no windows! Astonished, Joel and Lance both turned to look. "I said get out of here!" yelled the driver savagely at them, revving up the lorry's engine. He screeched into the warehouse as soon as the doors were open.
The boys turned and fled. Adding to their fright, a police car sped past them as they ran, lights flashing, its siren bursting through the quiet of the night. Lance and Joel continued to run long after they had left the industrial estate behind. "What do you make of that?" panted Joel eventually, doubling up over a garden wall to get his breath back.
"Yeah! I've never been so scared in my life! And what do you think that thumping and shouting was inside the lorry?" asked Joel.
"More to the point, how would they be able to breathe?" The boys looked at each other sombrely.
"Me too!" agreed Joel. Suddenly realising the significance of what they had just seen, they stopped in their tracks and stared at each other in amazement. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Joel.
Joel shrugged. "It sounded like it," he admitted. "But that's not a crime, is it?" And then he saw it. A little further ahead on the other side of the road. BOND ROAD. "Bond Road!" he yelled, grabbing Lance's arm.

He worked as a journalist for several South African newspapers and as a foreign correspondent for a Rome-based news agency.
He returned to London with his wife and first daughter in 1993, initially working as a freelance journalist (for The Guardian, Esquire, Men's Health and several other publications), broadcaster and author. His eight non-fiction books include two sporting biographies, a memoir, Dancing Shoes is Dead, a coffee table book on boxing history, two books on popular science (Mapreaders & Multitaskers on genes and gender and Black Brain, White Brain on the fallacies of race science) and The Story of Colour, on the culture of colour. He has also written a commissioned screenplay and has contributed chapters to several other books.
Over the past 15 years he has lectured in the Culture and Media department at Birkbeck College, Cardiff University and at the London School of Journalism. He has recently written for The Guardian, The Daily Mirror, The New Internationalist, International Business Times, BBC History Magazine and Die Zeit among others. He broadcasts regularly for the BBC World Service and is currently rated fourth in the UK in his age group in marathon running.
I approached The Andrew Lownie Literary Agency on the recommendation of a fellow author, and after being impressed by its strong and varied non-fiction list.

BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — More than half of the 17 people killed when a tourist boat sank on a Branson lake were members of the same Indiana family, and they likely would not have been on the ill-fated trip but for a ticket mix-up.
Others who died in the accident at Table Rock Lake included a Missouri couple who had recently celebrated a birthday, a longtime Rhode Island pastor who was operating the boat and an Indiana father and son.
The Stone County Sheriff's Department identified the Indiana family members as 45-year-old Angela Coleman, 1-year-old Arya Coleman, 69-year-old Belinda Coleman, 76-year-old Ervin Coleman, 7-year-old Evan Coleman, 40-year-old Glenn Coleman, 70-year-old Horace Coleman, 2-year-old Maxwell Coleman, and 9-year-old Reece Coleman.
A relative of the family, Kim Thomas Sr., said they're taking the news hard.
"The kids are doing better than we are. We have to live in this world; they have gone to the other side," said Thomas, 51, of Indianapolis, whose cousin, Tia Coleman, was one of two members of the family to survive the accident at Table Rock Lake near Branson.
Others who died were 69-year-old William Asher, 68-year-old Rosemarie Hamann, 63-year-old Janice Bright, 65-year-old William Bright, and the crew member operating the boat, 73-year-old Bob Williams, all from Missouri. Also killed were 64-year-old Leslie Dennison of Illinois, and 53-year-old Steve Smith and his son, 15-year-old Lance Smith, both from Arkansas.
State and federal investigators were trying to determine what went sent the vessel known as a duck boat to its demise in what was the deadliest accident of its kind in early two decades. An initial assessment blamed thunderstorms and winds that approached hurricane strength, but it wasn't clear why the amphibious vehicle even ventured out into the water.
The National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the area Thursday, saying conditions were ripe for winds of 70 mph (113 kph). It followed up at 6:32 p.m. with a severe thunderstorm warning for three counties that included Branson and the lake. The warning mentioned both locations. The boat went down about 40 minutes later, shortly after 7 p.m.
Suzanne Smagala with Ripley Entertainment, which owns Ride the Ducks in Branson, said the company was assisting authorities with their investigation. She said this was the company's only accident in more than 40 years of operation.
Twenty-nine passengers and two crew members were aboard. Seven of the 14 survivors were hurt. The captain survived, authorities said.
Branson Mayor Karen Best said Williams, the boat driver, was known by many as "Captain Bob" and was a "great ambassador" for the city. "He was at every event. He knew everyone. He was always promoting Branson," Best said.
Williams' family in Rhode Island, where he'd lived for decades before retiring to Branson, remembered him as a deeply religious man who founded a local church.
"Pastor Bob was a prince of a man, loving, kind, and generous, whose loss to our family is incalculable," said Williams' son-in-law, Bishop Jeffery Williams, who now leads King's Cathedral in Providence.
Hamann and Asher, a St. Louis-area couple killed in the accident, had been celebrating Hamman's birthday earlier in the week. Her final Facebook photo was a selfie with Asher. He's sticking his tongue out, and she's smiling.
Friend Russ McKay said he talked to Hamann the day before the accident to say they had just gone on a paddle boat and were planning to go again. He doesn't know why they chose the duck boat instead.
"I can only imagine what they were going through. They were so in love. It's just heartbreaking," McKay said.
Associated Press writers Phillip Marcelo in Boston; Sara Burnett in Chicago; Brian Slodysko in Indianapolis; Hannah Grabenstein in Branson; Jim Salter in St. Louis; and AP researcher Monika Mathur in New York contributed to this report.


You'll be £14.99 closer to your next £10.00 credit when you purchase Soviet Cold War Weaponry: Tanks and Armoured Vehicles. What's this?
The T-54, T-62 and T-72 main battle tanks along with the personnel carriers, assault guns, self-propelled guns and anti-tank missiles that are illustrated in this photographic history represent the high point in the design and manufacture of armoured vehicles by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Although the superpowers never came to blows, the 'Cold War' was far from cold, as numerous 'hot' proxy wars were fought in Africa and the Middle East, and these conflicts employed the Soviet weaponry that is shown in action in the colour and black-and-white photographs selected for this book.
Between the 1950s and 1980s Soviet and Warsaw Pact countries produced thousands of tanks and armoured vehicles ready for the Third World War. They embarked on a technological arms race with the NATO allies in an attempt to counter each new piece of equipment as it appeared in service. Much of this Soviet weaponry has achieved almost iconic status and, despite its age, remains in service with armies, guerrilla forces and terrorist organizations around the world today. It is also of enduring interest to collectors, re-enactors and modellers who are fascinated by the military equipment of the late twentieth century.
The information in here, coupled with the archive photos make for some more useful references for modellers.
The T-54, T-62 and T-72 main battle tanks, along with the personnel carriers, assault guns, self-propelled guns and anti-tank missiles that are illustrated in this new photographic history... designed to provide a visual account of the defining conflicts of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
For Russian armor fans and modelers alike, Soviet Cold War Weaponry is an excellent pictorial guide and quick reference. In 159 pages, the author recites the main features, general history and geographical presence of the T-54, T-62 and T-72 MBTs along with personnel carriers, assault guns, self-propelled guns, anti-tank missiles and attack helicopters.
The book is an easy read, very rich and quite enjoyable and is best described as a pictorial reference offering the general modeler and soviet military enthusiast quick access to the history and usage of the Soviet tanks and carriers along with the conflicts and battlefields in which they participated.
Highly recommended for Soviet armor enthusiasts.
Anthony Tucker-Jones' effort is quite hefty and chock full of color and black and white photos of the subject matter, many of which were new to me.
The book is broken up into twelve chapters, each dealing with a different area of Soviet armour design: T54/55, T62/64, T-72/80, PT-76, BTR series, BMP series, airborne combat vehicles, BRDM series, SPGs, ATGM, attack helos and a general assessment of Soviet equipment in combat. Overall, I found these chapters fairly logical in their structure and the grouping decisions.
Each chapter provides a general overview of the vehicle family it is addressing, including a light smattering of technical details, internal vehicle layout and key features and flaws. There is a brief discussion of combat history and areas of deployment. Chapters are around 10-15 pages each and heavily padded with images, so the discussion never gets overly-complicated and largely remains at the entry level to the topic throughout.

The UPS man dropped off a box yesterday, nothing for me – darn, but for my husband.
He unpacked it, put it on the floor and the kitties have been playing in it ever since.
but they want to play in the shipping box.
I love the pictures, Holly. But stop and think, with mine, it doesn't have to be an expensive box (remember, you had to pay for what was in it, plus postage!); an ordinary paper grocery sack is a winner at my house. You also get the crunchy noise sound when one is in the bag and the other pounces on it.
Your fur babies are soooo cute! We have one tuxedo cat, Merlin & he loves jumping in boxes & pouncing on plastic bags. He pretty much ignores the little balls & other toys we buy him too! Go figure.
I also love, love, love your pocket pies! I just called my local Williams Sonoma store & they have it in stock so I'm running down there today to get one! They should pay you a commission for sharing this with us..your pies look sooo yummy!
Ok, off to WS I go…have a great weekend!
Giggle… my cat was the same way! I bought her a big scratching post/house, it was the shape of a castle, and she only used it a couple of times. She LOVED boxes, paper bags and tissue paper!
Anyways, great photos Holly! Nice to see that your four-legged babies are looking so well… such cuties!
I am chuckling. We buy our little Maggie Mae all kinds of cool toys and you know what she has the most fun with – A hoppy toad that she found by the tree in the back yard. Go figure.
LOL, this reminds me of that MasterCard commercial: playpen: $120, building blocks: $60, enjoying playing with the box instead: priceless, LOL! How cool that you were able to capture that sweet moment 'on film'.

Baby-sitters
A Year with the BSC
Revisiting the Baby-sitters Club on its 30th anniversary.
BSC TV #10: The Baby-Sitters and the Boy Sitters
Posted on September 8, 2016 July 4, 2015 by Christina	Posted in BSC TVTagged bsc tv, kristy thomas, the baby-sitters and the boy sitters, the baby-sitters club
When has the BSC ever played basketball? I can't recall an instance, but here they are inexplicably playing playground ball at the beginning of this episode.
Then, we're in the SMS gymnasium, where they're apparently practicing the three-legged race for Field Day. Dawn (Melissa Chase) and Kristy (Avriel Hillman) bite it and eat shit, and Logan (Eric Lawton) comes over with Alan Gray (Herbert Russell) and Pete Black (Dave Buzzotta). (Logan has gotten a haircut since the first episode and looks way more babely.)
Pete makes an innocuous comment about how it might be easier to run without their feet tied together, and of course Kristy gets hyper-competitive and is like "I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY!"
So Pete and Alan try it but they eat shit too, immediately. In Kristy's version of foreplay, she and Pete make a bet that he and Alan can beat her and Dawn on Field Day. He also offers to cover for Logan, who can't make his sitting job with the Rodowskys, but Kristy is like "NOT ANYONE CAN BE A BABY-SITTER!" (Uh, Kristy, basically anyone who's not a baby can be a baby-sitter.)
Meanwhile, the BSC is super busy and is having a hard time covering all of their sitting jobs.
Mary Anne's like, "um… it wouldn't hurt to have some more backup" and everyone else is like YEAH BOY SITTERS! But Kristy is like "HELL NO".
Sorry, boss lady… you're outnumbered! The girls decide to train the boys in the ways of baby-sitting.
Kristy brings Pete with her to sit for the Rodowskys. JACKIE RODOWSKY IN THE HOOOUUUUSEEE!
The Rodowsky boys, of course, love Pete. When Jackie (Danny Tamberelli) spills milk on the table, Pete just cracks an egg in it and starts making French toast. Kind of genius if you ask me.
The BSC takes a vote and Kristy is the only one who doesn't want to let Pete and Alan join the club for the next couple of weeks.
After a taste of Alan's baby-sitting style, Becca (Najah Dupree) and Charlotte (Gina Gallagher) are bored with Stacey (Jessica Prunell).
They want to play poker (which Alan taught them) and candy store (which Alan taught them) and Stacey puts the kibosh on both. The girls are not pleased.
Mary Anne (Meghan Lahey) and Logan are trying to do homework but Logan's distracted and gets Mary Anne to (awkwardly) dance with him.
Then Dawn the cockblock arrives to inform them that Alan has ruined Becca and Charlotte and that the boy sitters aren't going to win any awards.
Logan's like "BITCH PLEASE" because he's actually a good baby-sitter. Buuuut Pete and Alan may have taught the kids some not-so-great tricks. While Kristy is baby-sitting the Rodowskys, Jackie and Shea (Aaron Payne) climb on the roof.
Kristy ain't impressed. Might as well call her Pissed-y Thomas. At the BSC meeting, the girls are ready to pounce. Pete puts his feet on Queen Stacey's char (RUDE!) and Kristy is like "WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE SHIT YOU PULLED?!"
The boys (correctly) point out that they are only being criticized and, hey, the kids had a good time! "It's more than fun and games," Kristy says. Pete replies, "With you it's not even fun!" BURN.
The boys walk out and threaten to start their own Baby-Sitters Club.
Mallory (Meghan Andrews) must have done some self-reflection, because she tells Dawn, "I'm pathetic… maybe you should get another partner." Stacey sees Charlotte with Alan and Pete.
Charlotte says they're taking her and Becca to a scary movie, which Stacey thinks is a bad idea. She's probably right, because she's Stacey.
Everyone expects Kristy to come up with a great idea to win their charges back, but Kristy's like "HEY I WAS AGAINST THIS FROM THE START". Which is true.
But when Kristy finds out the boys are taking the kids to the game center on Saturday, her evil genius brain kicks in.
She and the BSC are going to let the boy sitters hang themselves.
Pete and Alan bring the kids to the game center, and they think they have it under control.
But then they decide to leave the kids in a ball pit and go play a video game across the hall. Big mistake. HUGE.
Now Pete and Alan are panicking because they can't find the kids.
#KingJackie
It's the BSC's cue. Kristy sidles up to Pete and Alan, smug as ever, to ask how it's going.
But don't worry, all the kids are alive and everyone's fine.
Pete and Alan are ready to drop, but Kristy offers some sympathy, saying no one could have handled all those kids at the game center on a Saturday.
She also admits that just because they do things differently doesn't mean they do things wrong. (Is Kristy maturing?!) At Field Day, all the charges come out to cheer on the baby-sitters and the boy sitters… who have teamed up!
Kristy even paired up with Alan Gray! Kristin Amanda Thomas… on the verge of womanhood…

My sister Talia emailed me about a month or 2 ago to let me know that Jason Momoa was coming to New Zealand for Armageddon and that I should get down there to see him and ask him for his ink story & also gaze in wonder at his freakin hot self!! Um Yeeeeees Pleeeeeeeease!
Unfortunately for some reason unknown to me, the organisers of Armageddon held the event outside of Auckland – WHYYYYYYY?!?! (well, actually I think it's coming to Auckland in October but I don't know if Jason Momoa is included in the line-up) and so it was just too much of a mission to get down to see him – especially when my kids have rugby games that take up the better half of a Saturday – so I'd pretty much given up on the whole idea.
For those of you not familiar with this beautiful man, he is probably more recently well known for his role as Khal Drogo in HBOs Game of Thrones.
Pani: What is the meaning behind your tattoo? Your tatau?
PS – Pani, you are my hero!!!
He is half Hawaiian (yeah, go the afakasi Polys! #TeamPoly) and Jason also gets bonus points for marrying Lisa Bonet who is one of my all time favourite actresses from back in her Cosby Show days. Love her in Enemy of the State too.
Ummmm yeah, so thats the meaning of his tattoo …….
aaaaand since I don't have too much else on his tattoos I think we should just look at more pics of him aye?
Yeah, I thought you might agree ….. Enjoy!
You're Welcome – Enjoy the rest of your day!!
That's wonderful. Jason Momoa is indeed a gorgeous and very cool guy !
I really wanna know what font his tattoo is in!!!!

US Pastor Jailed in Turkey Put Under House Arrest, Turkish TV Reports
July 25, 2018 10:18 AM update July 25, 2018 12:50 PM
U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson reacts as he arrives at his home after being released from the prison in Izmir, Turkey, July 25, 2018.
An American pastor who has been jailed in Turkey on terrorism and espionage charges was put under house arrest Wednesday, live footage from Turkish broadcasters showed.
The two-year detention of Andrew Brunson, an evangelical pastor from Black Mountain, North Carolina, has strained relations between Turkey and the U.S., both NATO allies.
Hours after a court ruled Brunson be transferred from jail to house arrest, Turkish broadcasters DHA and NTV showed Brunson being escorted from prison in the coastal city of Izmir and departing shortly thereafter in a convoy of vehicles.
Brunson's transfer came one week after a court inside a prison complex in the western Turkish town of Aliaga ruled to keep Brunson in detention while he is tried. The court dismissed Brunson's attorney's request for Brunson to be freed pending the outcome of the trial, which was adjourned until October 12.
Brunson was indicted on charges of helping a network led by U.S.-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen, which Turkey blames for a failed 2016 coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in addition to supporting the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The 50-year-old pastor, who denies the charges, could face up to 35 years in prison if convicted.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote on Twitter that Brunson's transfer was "long overdue news," but added the U.S. expects Ankara to do more.
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded Brunson's release. Last week, Trump tweeted that Brunson's detention is "a total disgrace" and added, "He has done nothing wrong, and his family needs him!"
Brunson is among the tens of thousands of people Erdogan detained on similar charges during the state of emergency he declared following the failed coup.
The state of emergency ended July 18, but the Turkish legislature passed a new "anti-terror" law Wednesday that gives authorities more power to detain suspects and restore public order.
