Critics Crushed: The Domination of Clean Energy Jobs
October 27, 2017 November 5, 2018 Robert Delorme
One of the constant criticisms of those who do not believe in renewable energy is the idea that it will not generate any form of employment for anyone and the subsequent loss of jobs for others. By 'others' it referred to those who worked in the unsustainable fields of coal, oil, or gas. It seemed plausible back when the argument was first introduced. However, it's been completely blown out of the water since then.
In the other side of the pond, the US Energy and Employment Report reflected the information that clean energy workers have already surpassed the number of those employed by unsustainable resources. So in a sense, they were correct when they said that the green movement was going to take away jobs. However, what they didn't emphasize was the sheer number of jobs it would offer as replacement. In terms of gender empowerment, women have found quite the haven in the renewable energy sector.
Clean energy makes more jobs
In 2016, the renewable energy watchers have declared that over a million individuals in Europe have now been employed by renewable energy sectors. The solar power industry, with its vast occupation of space, required more workplaces and workers to oversee it.
Wind farms require specialists that can efficiently and effectively determine a diagnosis of operating systems. The installation of turbines also requires a bit of manpower. With the explosion of interest in sustainable energy, more and more of the clean energy factories are being built in several locations all over Europe. While there was some concern over the efficacy of wind turbines given the inconsistent nature of wind, the mass production in other locations (inland and shore) give a wider net to catch more wind and generate more energy.
A common misconception about green factories is that they are self-sufficient and self-operating. This is hardly the case. In fact, green factories require more labor as maintenance must be constant and ongoing.
Clean energy companies are able to supply these jobs due to the fact that businesses, as a whole, have finally realized the benefit of sustainability. With its ability drive down operational and energy costs, it is a smart and ideal investment for any business owner. The benefits of shifting to sustainable energy are plenty and are truly worth getting into.
The wonderful thing about the renewable energy movement is that its sole focus is not just simply for the benefit of the environment. It may have started out that way but it has continued to evolve through the years as newer and newer studies were done. Now, governments are taking note that renewable energy can do more than just limit greenhouse gas production. It is now also a smart avenue to revive economies, generate employment, and establish better trade policies.
As renewable energy drives down the operating costs of factories and the general cost of energy consumption, more funds are freed up for better technological advancements. It's good then that the dedicated professionals in the field of energy development are working non-stop to provide better solutions.

Sophomore left-hander Nathan Kirby threw the fifth Virginia no-hitter in the past 50 years. Kirby's 18 strikeouts fell one short of matching the single-game ACC record set in 1974 by fellow Cavalier Harry Thomas.
Nathan Kirby has a powerful showing Friday night in the Virginia baseball team's 4-0 series-opening win against ACC-newcomer Pittsburgh. The sophomore southpaw slung a no-hitter while dispatching 18 Panther batters via strikeout, the highlight of a three-game road set. The No. 1 Cavaliers (27-5, 12-3 ACC) earned two more wins to retain a one-game lead over hard-charging Miami (21-12, 11-4 ACC) in the Coastal Division.
Kirby (6-1, 1.03 ERA) pitched the fifth Virginia no-hitter in the past 50 years while finishing one strikeout short of matching the single-game ACC record — a mark originally established by the Cavaliers' Harry Thomas in 1974. Kirby struck out 10 consecutive batters between the second and fifth innings and ended the game by recording 13 straight outs.
Pittsburgh (16-15, 8-7 ACC) had just two base runners all evening — one by walk and one by error — as Kirby became the first Cavalier hurler to hold the opposition hitless since right-hander Will Roberts tossed a 10-strikeout perfect game against George Washington March 29, 2011.
Redshirt junior right-hander Joseph Harvey was similarly stingy in Pittsburgh's 2-1 Saturday victory, which halted Virginia's winning streak at nine games. The Cavaliers mustered just two singles, two walks and an unearned run in Harvey's seven innings of work. The game never ceased to be a pitcher's duel — it was knotted at 1-1 heading into ninth — but ended in the Panther's favor when junior third baseman Jordan Frabasilio lofted a walk-off sacrifice fly to center field with one out.
Sunday, Virginia turned to sophomore left-hander Brandon Waddell, who dominated Pittsburgh for eight innings — the longest outing of his career. Waddell faced just one batter more than the minimum while yielding two hits and no walks in the 3-0 victory.
Virginia travels to Harrisonburg, Va. Tuesday for a 6 p.m. midweek game against James Madison. The Cavaliers previously defeated the Dukes, 13-2, March 11 in Charlottesville.


Assassin's Creed, for all its various bugs and glitches in the previous game, is going nowhere. Ubisoft's flagship brand is as strong as it ever was, with various games on the way that have been in development for years now. The next game in the series is set in Victorian England and is tentatively dubbed Assassin's Creed Victory. But what lies beyond the top hats and cobblestones in that franchise? Quite possibly a trip to the East, at long last.
The first one is very small and not very clear. It looks like the front of a church. I'd like to think it's a reference to the very first Assassins Creed, but it's hard to say.
No doubt in the second one. It shows Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, a clear reference to Assassins Creed II and the Ezio saga.
The next one shows a tropical island, which can only refer to AC IV Black Flag.
In the last one, the screen shows another location which has not been touch in any AC yet, and which (considering all the above) should be AC VII location. Where are we going? It's Japan!! Which makes sense, considering people have been asking for it for a long time. The image clearly shows a Japanese temple surrounded by houses. I'm not sure, but I'd say it's Sensoji Temple, Tokyo's oldest temple and one of its most significant.
That's a pretty cool theory, and something that fans have been keen on for quite a while now. That kind of architecture is also similar to buildings seen in China, a country that has been touched on before when Ezio was visited by a Chinese member of the Brotherhood in the animated Assassin's Creed: Embers.
I'd like to see a Chinese history version of the game more than a Japanese one. It's most likely something that Ubisoft is also considering, as the Chinese market now plays a massive factor in game sales. Appealing to that nation, could be a winner for them. Assassin's Creed 3 director Alex Hutchinson did once deem Japan as being "too boring" for the franchise, but his stance appears to have softened lately. Still, if there is an Asian country in the future of Assassin's Creed, I'm dead keen on visiting it.

We had a great weekend, despite the fact I'm fighting off a cold (sad face).
Friday night we had our weekly family dinner and a great visit with my parents, siblings and nephews.
And on Saturday we raked leaves.
Everyone makes leaf-raking sound like such a fun fall activity – everyone jumping around in slow-mo, tossing leaves in the air, laughing and twirly as they cascade to the ground.
and stopped at a pumpkin patch along the way.
Isn't he precious? Our lil punkin!
And as we relaxed, and ate and smiled into the precious face of our boy I couldn't help thinking about all the little ones who have no face to smile at. The ones who are orphaned, abused, abandoned. The ones who are unloved.
Lately I'm constantly thinking about the children who don't have a family – the ones who have no mother, no father. The ones who want to laugh and smile and would if there was just someone there to receive it – someone to see them, to love them.
If you are already swapping with me, I'd invite you to still donate to this cause (msg me if you're interested). And if you aren't a sponsor, but would like to be, all it takes is $5 to give a child a face to smile at (msg me for more info).
This week I'm thinking and praying for those loved and those unloved.
What about you? What's on your heart this week?
LOL… that is so funny! me and kevin were just discussing over the weekend why we don't really want much of a yard…and him not wanting to rake the leaves or mow the lawn was one of his top reasons. beautiful pictures!
What a great idea to donate to those kids! I would love to donate!
look at his big beautiful eyes. he's precious.
Your little boy is so adorable!! Those pictures are so great. I just wrote a post about adoption. I can totally relate, yet I still have a few years to work on that one haha. Gotta get married first. That's so great that you and your husband are considering it though.

Google Announces The Second-Gen Pixel Buds
Hans News Service | 16 Oct 2019 7:27 AM GMT
With one single tap, you can pair the Pixel Buds with your Pixel phone, Android 6.0 and other devices.
Google has launched the second-gen Pixel Buds at yesterday's hardware event in New York for $179. The new buds have a re-engineered fit with egg-shaped case resembling the AirPods' case.
Google claims "the experience comes to you," with the new Pixel Buds, which is evident from hands-free access that is provided on the buds. Just say "Hey Google" if you need to ask something to the Assistant. With the help of the updated Bluetooth on the Buds, you can stay connected to the Pixel Buds even if you are three rooms away from it.
With one single tap, you can pair the Pixel Buds with your Pixel phone, Android 6.0 and other devices. They can also be paired with Bluetooth 4.0 and laptops, tablets, and iOS devices. Google said that it had scanned thousands of ears to create a design that would be most comfortable for as many people as possible. Google is trying its best to offer hands-free Google Assistant support.
The Pixel Buds are wireless and kept in a case that looks like a distorted version of the old that holds Apple's AirPods. Google claims that they're one of the most compact true wireless earbuds in the market, though we don't know the exact dimensions yet.
If there are any sound issues, there is an adaptive hybrid design, while the ear tips do seal the ear to emphasise audio. When it comes to the battery life, the earbuds have 7-hour battery life, and this can also be extended to 24 hours using the case, which is fast charged by USB-C or optionally by Qi wireless charging. Go, Google!

Accountability Begins with Key KPIs
U.S. The president of FEH Design, Denny Sharp, AIA, is a soft-spoken Midwesterner. So when he says the weekly report to all his PMs is a "gentle reminder" about the financial status of their projects, you assume he may be underplaying its significance.
"Financials are my responsibility, and this is one of the most important tools I have," Sharp explains. "At a glance, it answers some really key questions, like whether invoicing and receivables on are time."
Sharp says the "Friday Report," as the firm calls it, goes out to every PM in the form of a spreadsheet that covers key financial metrics. It is built from Deltek Ajera, a familiar software tool to many in the A/E/C industry, which is designed to help firms increase profitability, improve utilization and provide visibility into all aspects of a project.
Sharp says the regularity of the report is one reason it is so effective for the Iowa-based firm, a member of the PSMJ Circle of Excellence.
"Everything we do is cloud-based, so our PMs can find this information in the system any time they want to," he notes. "But they know to expect it on Friday. It gives them a little nudge to think about whether they've got any issues they need to address.'"
CONSISTENT AND EASY-TO-READ
The firm's financial manager compiles the report, which pulls information from the Ajera system and presents itin an easy-to-read format. Sharp says preparation of the report takes very little time since it is updated weekly. And while details about each of the firm's projects are visible to all recipients, Sharp says privacy is not a problem: "Everybody gets the full report, and you can see where every project is. We're not concerned about sharing that information. There are no secrets here.
"This kind of transparency is engrained in our process – it's how we do business. They were doing it when I joined the firm 28 years ago, and we do it the same way today." Sharp says the firm explains the process to new hires during the onboarding process and has never received any push-back from candidates.
Kevin Eipperle, AIA, LEED AP, is a vice president at the firm. He says the process is convenient and effective. "Yes, you could get the information from the cloud, but it's in a software not everyone is fluent with, so it would take a little time," he explains. "The Friday Report means there's one less thing you have to worry about. It's good to know that every Friday afternoon the information is waiting for you in your in-box.
"There's no hiding anything about your projects – it's there for everyone to see. But that's never caused a problem; if anything, it makes you work harder and fosters a little friendly competition.
"And no one ever gets called onto the carpet by management, because they don't have to. The information is right there - everything is being tracked. And that means there are no surprises."

Do you have tickets to the biggest party of the year?
Trying to explain what a Melbourne Ska Orchestra show is like is hard! We can never quite get across the huge rush of 30+ musicians on a stage fit to bust and people streaming out afterwards – sweaty, smiling, and danced-out… It's a HUGE party!
So we put together a video with help from our friend Clayton Jacobson of Bison Films. Check our live trailer for THE DIPLOMAT TOUR – and share it 'round!


During the nesting period when I was pregnant with Jack I not only went through a major organization overhaul in my house but also found a million things around the house that needed my attention. What is it about being pregnant and finding never-ending to do list items? It's definitely not because I feel better when I'm pregnant. Maybe it's because I'm sober when I'm pregnant. When you've had a glass (or 2!) of pinot everything seems to look better, right?! I joke. Kind of.
I tasked my friend and interior decorator guru, Alison Meyer for some book case inspiration. The last time I paid any attention to my book cases I was also very pregnant and moving into our new house. So my time and energy to making the book shelves awesome was very limited. Fast forward 4 years, it's time for a few changes/updates.
The current shelves are decent, but given the fact that these built in book cases take up the majority of wall space in the living room means they are worth focusing on improving. The first step….drumroll please….WALLPAPER! I'm kind of obsessed with wallpaper and this Miles Redd for Schumacher wallpaper is the perfect backdrop to add an element of depth to what was once a pretty one-note backdrop. I love this playful geometric pattern, which was actually hand drawn with a pen and magic marker. So rad!
Here's what I learned from the process. Less can be more. When I originally styled my book cases I found myself over crowding the space which looks cluttered. I like a layered look but not cluttered. Like Coco Chanel suggests, put on all of your jewelry and then take two pieces off before leaving the house.
BOOKS! There are two trends I love for the actual books on book cases. Either color coordinating books or the newest trend actually turning all of the books around so that the pages face the front rather than the binding. I tried this but was craving color and it looked super neutral. I think going this route is most effective when your book case is painted a bold color, then the white/ivory pages pop against the color. The books in my book cases are mostly my own, but to fill the entire space we had to supplement from Half Price Books, adding in necessary colors and making sure none of the titles too racy. Ha.
One Kings Lane also has some great color coordinated books that you can buy in bundles here, here, and here.
GREENS–My house is where plants come to die. I have a really hard timing keeping plants alive but am going to make a major effort with the new greens in the book cases because they truly add to the space. If you are an unintentional plant killer you could opt for fake. I may end up going that route when it's all said and done.
PERSONAL TOUCHES–I'm a big picture frame person and love grouping 3-5 photo frames in a single vignette. Add a faux shagreen tray for a nice layering element. I picked up this Z when Bret and I were first engaged and because of the sentimental value I'll always find a home for it in our home. My first blog, And the bicycle is an ode to my first blog, High Heels and Handlebars.
These glass shadow boxes are another great accessory. I can't take credit for the the shadow box styling. Leighton actually put her her first ever ballet shoes inside unbeknownst to me. Then a friend was over and complimented me on the neat idea to put these tiny ballet shoe treasures on display.
BOXES–Alison found these antique boxes and mixed in some inexpensive, black + white stripe boxes for a nice traditional meets modern mix, you can find similar ones here.
LIGHTING–How fun are these two mini abacus lamps? They are cozy and cool and evoke an inviting mood to hang out a while, and even better, they are now on sale!
ART–I chose three pieces for the book cases. Two black and white sketches and a contemporary piece by Mara Held from the McClain gallery in Houston. Both sketches are sentimental to me because one is of our first and only house so far and the other a sketch from an engagement photo. Alison had the genus idea to float the colorful contemporary art piece with this acrylic easel.
The one brand I can't stop wearing….

About the Security Service
Contact the Security Service
Integrity and personal data
Counter-espionage
Dignitary protection
Counter-subversion
Protective security
Counter-proliferation
Protective security refers to protecting information and activities of importance to Sweden's security against espionage, sabotage, terrorist offences and certain other threats.
Attacks on certain public agencies or companies in Sweden could have serious consequences for national security, especially if organisations operating in sectors such as the total defence, law enforcement, energy and water supplies, telecommunications and transport are targeted. Such organisations may, as part of their remit, be required to handle information of importance to Sweden's security. Should such information be disclosed, destroyed or altered, this could affect Sweden's security. Certain organisations may also need special protection against terrorism, as an attack would have very serious consequences for Sweden. These organisations need to have protective security measures in place.
Such measures are regulated by the Protective Security Act and the Protective Security Ordinance.
Security-sensitive activities
Protective security refers to preventive measures taken to protect the security-sensitive activities of public agencies and companies against espionage, sabotage, terrorist offences and other crimes that might threaten their operations. Security-sensitive activities are activities that are of importance to Sweden's security or are covered by an international protective security commitment that is binding for Sweden.
Protective security also includes the protection of information relating to security-sensitive activities and therefore covered by the provisions of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act, or would have been covered by these provisions had this Act been applicable. Such information is called classified information.
The role and responsibility of the Swedish Security Service
The Swedish Security Service exercises supervision over protective security within most public agencies and companies. The Swedish Armed Forces is the supervisory authority for certain organisations. There are also a number of sector-specific agencies with direct supervisory duties over certain organisations.
The Security Service is at liberty to decide where to conduct protective security inspections, and always gives priority to the nation's most critical assets. This means that inspections focus mainly on areas where an attack would have the most serious consequences for Sweden as a nation. Following the inspection, the Service suggests measures to improve protective security.
Providing continuous advice and support to those who handle the most critical assets is part of the Security Service's efforts to improve protective security in Sweden.
The Service's remit also includes conducting records checks. Records checks generally form part of the security screening procedures carried out before a person can take part in security-sensitive activities.
Swedish Security Service
The Security Service prevents and detects offences against national security, fights terrorism and protects the central Government.
The Security Service is currently active on Twitter and LinkedIn.

The 9 photos contained in the link below come from BBC's Weather Watchers website featuring northern lights occurring over Scotland.
The photos were taken last Thursday, 31st January when heavy snow covered most of the UK.


It wasn't talking to me yesterday, but it is now.
These naked people in here with her, condemned as was she, had a connection with each other? She chanced a look over at the nearest one.
No, do not acknowledge any communication or they will become suspicious. What you must do is let your mind wander into the place of pre-sleep, where all is calm and nothing matters. They can't detect us there, in downtime.
She did as told, desperately wanting more and knowing it wasn't going to happen unless she complied. Finding the place of quiet inside her took a while as it had been so long since she had a feeling other than terror. Finally, she floated high in the sky in her pre-dreams.
Good. The bankers can't find us here. Now we must have a naming. We all have angel names that suit who we are now. They gave you the killer number so you must be the new assassin. Your name is now Azrael, the angel of death.
A hot thought of rebellion flooded her mind for a second before the newly named Azrael found downtime again. Why can't I die? They must give me weapons to kill others, so why can't I turn them on myself? I don't want to be a killer.
When they made us, they fitted out bodies with internal armor and our minds with a hot wire to the pain center. Try to self-destruct and the feedback from the bankers is immediate. You will writhe with a pain only nightmares could conjure. What is worse, because we are all linked, every one of us will suffer the echo of agony and must hide it.
No suicide, then, for someone must have tried and failed for the collective to be so convinced it was impossible. There were other ways, though. What if I stand in the line of fire? They can't stop that.
They tag us for body retrieval, having a team standing by in case of accidents. You will wake up in a fresh body if you manage to destroy the one you wear. They have clones of all of us waiting to be animated. There is no escape. All we have in downtime. One day there will be enough of us to rise up against them. We can wait, for time is on our side.
Waiting through eternity for a chance of rebellion? This sentence plumbed the depths of cruelty. Azrael would never have killed if her son hadn't been murdered and … there was something else, but she couldn't remember. What else had they taken away from her? Killing went against her nature; she knew this. What other factor forced her hand? Someone took revenge for her actions personally, or she would have been executed. She wondered if they were going to derive pleasure from watching her at her new function?

please continue to preach as you have. You have a gift, and it is needed. I spent many years as wife of an Air Force officer ( he flew a desk) and I know that your gift of the truth is needed in the military.
The issues you address go beyond politics. They are the ethical and moral imperatives of our time. It is, in the end, about Matthew 25:31-46.
Thank you for speaking up against the unspeakable cruelty by this administration- we need more courageous leaders like you to push back against them, esp in the public sphere!
I could hope that this cruel state policy would become the perpetual albatross for the GOP- but as it stands- there's nothing they won't accept, and condone, no matter how nefarious, if it's in pursuit of the party's 'winning'.

A Tale Of Two Restaurants: Enchiladas Ole' vs. The Original Mexican Eats Cafe
By Derik Lattig Cats - June 19, 2020
Just sit right back and let me tell you the tale of two #FortWorthTexas Restaurants. One, which is the new kid on the block and another, which is indeed the oldest but also performs like a stodgy old blowhard hoping the past will reap benefits for its future. First, meet Enchiladas Ole (2418 Forest Park Avenue), a medium-sized Mexican food restaurant serving all of your favorites just down the street from Texas Christian University. Owner Mary Patino Perez opened the doors here at this location in 2019. No stranger to traditional Mexican food, Perez has a mantra: " The way I remember making enchiladas with my Mother" Perez started out back in 2013 selling complicated, craft enchilada sauces, and customers asked her to open a restaurant. READ ABOUT THE MOVE HERE Enchiladas Ole has been voted one of the 10 best Tex-Mex restaurants in Texas in a USA Today poll and also voted to a 10 best queso list. With its outdoor patio and spacious seating, you'

Original Mexican Eats (Fort Worth Texas) what a Disappointment!!
Short and sweet. Whoa! Original Mexican Eats! ✋ Been going here for over 20 years, spending an average of 40 dollars on a Sunday. Walked in today to find the table we normally sit at was reserved by a River Crest Country Club member. In an attempt to get along we found a small table and crowded around it. That is problem number 1. No one ever told us the tables could be reserved a week ahead of time. Problem number two is Cindy, the waitress says she "inherited our table" and has "no idea" what anyone had but the bill was $180 and she charged 18% gratuity even though 2 out of the 6 people sitting there were on a separate ticket. I threw down $70 which was way more than I had and left and on the way out I spoke to the manager Tammy Holt who basically said sorry that's the way it goes. So, my message to you is if you go here, in a group ask for separate tickets otherwise they will slam you with a monster bill. This is ridiculous, we have supported the

Christina Aguilera may be available for your next special event!
Christina Aguilera's story is a Hollywood dream come true. The daughter of a father in the military and a violinist/pianist mother who toured Europe with the Youth Symphony Orchestra, Christina has traveled the world, living for a time in Japan, Florida, Texas and New Jersey, before settling in Wexford, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh.
"I wanted to perform as long as I could remember" says the blonde, blue eyed performer. Christina first began performing in school talent shows. As an eight-year-old she appeared on the nationally syndicated "Star Search," at age ten she sang the National Anthem for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins, and then, at age 12 landed a spot on the "New Mickey Mouse Club" appearing on the Orlando-based show along with several other future stars, including Britney Spears, J.C. and Justin of N 'Sync and the star of "Felicity," Keri Russell.
After two years on the weekly Disney television show, Christina Aguilera traveled overseas to further hone her musical skills. She recorded a duet, "All I Wanna Do," with Japanese pop star Keizo Nakanishi, appeared in the video and toured in Japan. Later that year, the young show biz veteran almost caused a riot at the Golden Stag Festival in Transylvania, Romania, when she waded into the crowd of 10,000 while performing her two song set on a bill which included Sheryl Crow and Diana Ross.
On her return to the States in early 1998, Christina Aguilera was invited to audition to record, "Reflection," for the Disney animated film "Mulan." The studio's search for a powerful voice with a wide vocal range quickly ended. Disney needed someone "who could hit a high "E" above middle "C," according to Christina. At her manager's request, Christina cut a one take demo on her boom-box in her living room singing to a karaoke tape of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Run To You." The demo was FedExed to Disney - they loved it - and within 48 hours, the young girl with the unique mature voice was in a Los Angeles studio recording "Reflection." That very same week RCA Records signed her to a record contract. "Mulan" premiered in June, 1998, and "Reflection" turned into a Top 15 A/C single, with Christina performing it live on "CBS This Morning" and the "Donnie & Marie Show."
"The song's theme - the struggle to establish your identity - was something I could really relate to as a teenage girl myself," says Christina. The song also related well to critics, garnering a Golden Globe Nomination for best original song in a motion picture.
On her debut album for RCA, Christina Aguilera continued to define herself and showcase her special voice. From the sparkling upbeat dance-pop of the first single, "Genie In A Bottle," to the guitar driven, heartfelt fun of "What A Girl Wants," to the soulful gospel strains of "So Emotional" and the truly awe-inspiring ballad, "I Turn To You," Christina's powerful affecting voice intertwines the themes of finding your own identity with the uncertainties of growing up.
"I was thrilled to work with so many great producers on this album" gushes Christina. Her soaring up-tempos and thrilling ballads served as ample proof that Christina was not just a new kid on the block, but a prime candidate for the Voice of her generation.
With numerous television appearances to her credit, it is not surprising that Christina Aguilera has been approached by a number of directors for roles in films going into production. But, this blond beauty with dazzling blue eyes is going to wait a bit before pursuing more time in front of the camera. "Right now, I'm continuing to focus on my singing," says Christina, "I've been waiting for this moment my whole life."
Christina's own musical tastes are eclectic. Christina's favorite artists include Madonna, Janet and Mariah, but the car radio also finds Christina Aguilera tuning in the likes of thrash-rockers KoRn and Limp Bizkit, as well as electronica wiz Fatboy Slim, and rappers 2Pac and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
