Q: Can't Call requireActivity() From ViewHolder I am unable to call requireActivity() from inside a RecyclerView.ViewHolder that is defined inside of my Fragment class:
class ActFrag: Fragment() {
    ...
    class ActHolder(itemView: View): RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
        ...
        var mActivity = requireActivity() // requireActivity() is not in scope.
        ...
    }
    ...
}

...
}
It works in my Java files, but now that I am working in Kotlin, it doesn't seem to want to play ball. Thanks for looking.

A: By default, nested classes are static (i.e., they don't have a reference to the containing outer class). You can add the inner keyword to make them an inner class, which would allow you to call methods on the outer class:
inner class ActHolder(itemView: View): RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {

Following hip replacement surgery, Rhode Island senior home care providers can expect their elderly loved one to spend anywhere from three to five days in the hospital. During this time, they will receive pain management, incision care instructions and physical therapy. Once released, full recovery occurs in approximately three to six months. When at home, there are different things you need to expect while he or she recovers.
Whether recovering at home or in a long-term care facility, make it easy on the older adult by creating a recovery station. This area should include frequently used items placed in such a way that they are easy to reach. These items might include a TV remote, tissues, a radio, telephone, medications and fluids of choice. Remove obstacles from frequent paths in order to reduce the risk of falls.
In order to heal properly and prevent the implement from dislodging, certain activities and movements are prohibited. Seniors should never assume a physical position that requires extreme flexion of the hip joint beyond a 45-degree angle. Walking is usually advised as tolerable. Going up and down the stairs and running are typically forbidden.
Dealing with the first week or weeks of pain often requires management using prescription medications. Elderly adults may experience frustration, depression or anger at having to endure the discomfort and physical limitations. Caregivers can be most helpful by offering compassion, understanding and support. Assure your loved one that this setback is merely temporary and lasts only a few months.
In order for recovering seniors to remain positive during the healing process, they need to be surrounded by loved ones or caregivers who display compassion and patience but who also are willing to be stern when necessary. Ensure that seniors do not overexert themselves. But make sure they perform exercises as recommended and keep follow-up appointments with physicians or therapists.
If you're short handed or need someone to be with your loved one during recovery, Home Care Assistance of Rhode Island can help. Although we provide specialized services such as stroke, Alzheimer's, and dementia home care in Rhode Island, we also strive to help clients recover from injury and surgery in the comfort of home. Our compassionate caregivers will assist your loved one with everything from mobility training to personal care. Call (401) 284-0979 today and schedule a free consultation with an experienced Care Manager.

Igwenagu has Lions doubling down at fullback
Josh Katzenstein
After the Lions let Jed Collins leave in free agency this offseason, Emil Igwenagu was the only fullback on the roster.
A handful of weeks later, the Lions drafted Michael Burton in the fifth-round, which meant Igwenagu's best chance to make the 53-man roster likely was to convince the team to carry two fullbacks.
"It's not like I thought I was going to be the only fullback in here," Igwenagu said with a smile this week. "Obviously, there's going to be competition. That pushes me; I'm sure that pushes (Burton)."
So far this summer, Igwenagu has done enough to give the coaches and personnel staff a few reasons to consider the possibility of keeping him along with the rookie.
"Very, very close and heated battle, which has been good for us," coach Jim Caldwell said of the fullback competition. "I think they both have worked extremely hard at it and they both certainly are the kind of guys you're looking that can step up in there and take on a linebacker."
The 6-foot-2, 248-pound Igwenagu is taller and rangier than the typical fullback — Burton is 6-foot and 245 pounds. But he's been playing the position for most of his football career, so he understands the importance of keeping his pads low to maintain leverage while he blocks.
The extra length, though, helps Igwenagu on special teams, which is the unit he'll have to make a mark to make the team.
After going undrafted out of UMass, Igwenagu signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012. He played in three games as a rookie, but spent most of his first two years on the Eagles' practice squad.
Philadelphia waived him after the third exhibition game in 2014, and the Lions claimed him before stashing him on the practice squad all of last season. Although Burton has been more impressive as a blocker so far, Igwenagu spent all of last year learning the Lions offense, which was an extremely valuable experience.
The Lions have also used Igwenagu briefly as a tight end and H-back during practices this summer, and he knows that versatility could be his ticket to the active roster, though he doesn't think the coaches moving him around says much about where he stands.
"I just go out and do what's on the call sheet," he said. "I really don't read into any of that because at the end of the day, they're just evaluating and trying to choose the best squad to make it all the way."

A new program will allow partners to sell their wares to subsidiaries of Oracle's biggest, most strategic accounts.
Oracle Corp. is cracking open its top North American accounts to allow partners to get their share of the very lucrative pie.
Rauline Ochs, group vice president of Oracles North America Alliances and Channels, on Tuesday briefed the media about the program, which Oracle has dubbed the "Cover the Subsidiaries" program.
The new program will allow Oracles 2,800 North American partners to sell their goods and services to subsidiaries of Oracles biggest, most strategic accounts.
Most of these mega-companies have geographically far-flung subsidiaries that make it tough for one Oracle sales rep to cover, Ochs said. "Its hard for one person to cover 20 cities," said Ochs, in Redwood Shores, Calif. "But once [an Oracle] partner has identified himself to the Oracle sales rep, we now can have a good relationship between Oracle and its partners."
The programs biggest benefit, Ochs said, will be the extension of Oracles reach by leveraging Oracle partners across the country to reach into subsidiaries.
Oracle piloted the program between January and May, using as a template an Oracle Partner Network program called OMM (Open Market Model). OMM is a partner registration program where partners can register opportunities for reselling. The program also allows partners to apply for a referral fee if they find an opportunity they want to pass on to Oracle, or if they influence a sales opportunity by recommending Oracle products. Where OMM is restricted to customers with less than $1 billion in annual revenues, the Cover the Subsidiaries program expands into the over-$1 billion range.
During the four-month trial period, partners generated $1 million from selling into subsidiaries, Ochs said—a promising harbinger of money to be made.
"Heres a net, new $1 million that traditionally wouldnt have been done through the channel thats now being done by channel partners by us opening this new market to our partners," Ochs said.
One of the companies generating these new revenues is FusionStorm Inc., an Oracle reseller that was one of 10 partners to participate in the programs pilot. According to Dan Mori, vice president and co-founder, during the pilot, FusionStorm managed to exploit previous work engagements with companies to churn out two or three new deals that total between $200,000 and $250,000.
Thats a positive and tangible sign of change when it comes to Oracles relationships with partners, and its testimony to Oracles determination to turn around its long-sour reputation in this arena. "Im pleased that Oracle is pushing forward their commitment to the channel partners to try and have a positive engagement between their sales force and their channel partners," said Mori, in San Francisco. "In this marketplace in the past, it had been problematic. The idea that Rauline is trying to push for is more a cooperative, joint sales effort."
One of FusionStorms new deals involved working with the IT division of a subsidiary of a manufacturer of semiconductor circuit boards to create an Oracle database and application server setup to function as an e-commerce system. For another deal, FusionStorm worked with a consumer lending companys subsidiary to create an online training solution based on Oracle technology. TUSC, a Chicago firm, put together a pharmacy-based technology platform.
Ultimately, the program will benefit clients, Mori said. "Theres a lot of additional coverage, attention and added values that resellers can provide in terms of other areas of expertise above and beyond just Oracle," he said.
The news of the program follows fast on the heels of Oracles recently launched effort to teach its direct sales force to play nice with partners. Late last month, the company began to roll out its first-ever set of guidelines to instruct sales staff on how to identify, respect and work with partners, including channels, ISVs, resellers, integrators and VARs, on accounts.
/zimages/6/28571.gifClick here to read about Oracles efforts last year to reorganize its sales force.
The numbers behind the program amply reveal why Oracle is so motivated to overhaul its sales force. According to Ochs, Oracles most strategic accounts have a total of 10,000 subsidiaries. Of those, 2,500 have buying authority, including both budgets and the necessary delegation to buy on behalf of themselves.
The program is now open to all Oracle Partner Network partners, who will be empowered to, for example, participate in quarterly business reviews or to leverage Oracles telesales organization to create demand, Ochs said.

I did some research on Badger State Ordnance prior to placing my order, so I knew they were a small business and there would be some time waiting for the upper receiver to come in, but seeing how I'm only one month into my wait for my Stamps for my SBR and suppressor, it didn't really matter to me if I had to wait half a year for the upper to come in.
I was pleasantly surprised that it came about a month after I placed my order.
Build quality is on par with every other upper I've had. I've only run one magazine through it, but it functioned flawlessly.
It was packaged carefully to withstand the hazards of shipping. My only critique is that BSO affixed a sticker on the outside of the shipping package with their logo (Two rifles) on it and FedEx left the package on my front porch with this logo facing out. I know BSO has no control of the shipping courier, but with all the porch pirates out there, I'd prefer as discreet packaging as possible.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase so far and I won't hesitate to do business in the future with BSO.

Campaigners are calling for changes to major junctions across London, following the deaths of 15 cyclists on London's roads this year.
On Friday, a 34-year-old woman became the second person in three weeks to die at the busy Bow Roundabout junction.
Transport for London (TfL) said it was sorry to hear about the death.

Guldrush betecknar en period då många personer får guldfeber och samtidigt beger sig till ett område för att leta guld. USA upplevde under pionjärtiden många guldrusher, såsom guldrushen i Kalifornien 1848–1849 och Alaska 1898.

Det mest kända exemplet är guldrushen i Klondike. Guldfynden i Klondike, Yukon, Kanada 1898–1899 resulterade i den största migrationen av guldgrävare i historien. Miljoner människor började resan mot rikedomen men bara några hundra tusen nådde Yukonterritoriet och det som blev Dawson City. Här fann man i stort sett svält, umbäranden och den svåraste vintern i mannaminne.

I modern tid avses nästan alltid händelser i u-länder som Brasilien (sedan 1983), Tanzania (1989–1999) och Vietnam (1996–2001) där mineralrättigheter inte är väl reglerade eller kontrollerade och där guldgrävarna, garimperos – använder kvicksilver för att extrahera guld.

Uttrycket används även bildligt, då vanligen om nya, heta branscher till vilka många söker sig.

Det typiska för guldrushen är myten om rikedom (som några också når) och att det finns något för alla.

Measure on N-waste storage clears a hurdle in Senate
By Deseret News Feb 25, 1998, 12:00am MST
Zack Van Eyck, Staff Writer
Share All sharing options for: Measure on N-waste storage clears a hurdle in Senate
Importing nuclear waste would bring jobs and money to Utah, and state lawmakers are overreacting to a proposal to store spent nuclear fuel rods in Tooele County.
Sen. John Holmgren, R-Bear River City, made those assertions Tuesday in the first floor debate of SB196, which would place significant restraints and financial requirements on any party wishing to store high-level nuclear waste in Utah.A handful of senators sided with Holmgren, but the Senate voted 22-6 to give preliminary approval to the measure, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Craig Peterson.
The Senate also gave preliminary approval to a scaled-down version of SB144. It increases the fee the state charges for storage of low-level radioactive waste from $2.50 per ton to $15 per ton. The vote was 27-1 with only Holmgren opposed.
Holmgren, fresh from a conversation with a scientist who believes spent fuel rods can be stored and transported safely, urged his colleagues to oppose SB196 because nuclear waste could "solve many of our problems."
"It's not dangerous. It's not a gas. It's not a liquid. It's a solid, and it's in containers that have been moved, proven (and) upgraded for over 20 years," Holmgren said during a 15-minute speech to colleagues.
"I know there's a (federal) fund with several billion dollars in it, and I know it's negotiable. Could the state benefit from (nuclear waste storage)? I don't think there's any question if we went after this aggressively. . . . I think all of you need to back up and think a little bit about why you are voting the way you are voting on this issue."
Private Fuel Storage, a consortium of Midwest and Southern utility companies, wants to store spent nuclear fuel rods temporarily on the Skull Valley Goshute Indian Reservation in Tooele County.
In his arguments, Holmgren said allowing the waste to be stored on Indian land isn't a good idea either because it would take revenue away from the state.
Holmgren also happens to represent Box Elder County, where there is a separate proposal, backed by Holladay engineer Bill Peterson, to build a private storage facility for nuclear waste south of Grouse Creek near the Nevada border.
Joining Holmgren in voting against SB196 Tuesday were Sen. Nathan Tanner, R-South Ogden; Sen. Lorin Jones, R-Veyo; Sen. LeRay McAllister, R-Orem; Sen. Howard Nielson, R-Provo; and Sen. Michael Waddoups, R-Tay-lors-ville.
Officials representing Private Fuel Storage and the Skull Valley Band of Goshutes were to debate lawmakers on the issue Wednesday afternoon in the state office building north of the Capitol.
SB144, which originally asked the Legislature to permit a second low-level radioactive waste storage facility in Tooele County, was rewritten and reintroduced Tuesday as a bill raising the per-ton fee from $2.50 to $6. But an amendment by Sen. Craig Taylor, R-Kaysville, to increase the fee 500 percent to $15 was endorsed by a majority of senators.
"Other states are taking these kinds of things and raising a lot more in taxes" and using much of it for education, Taylor said. "My amendment ought to be $50 a ton and that still wouldn't be too high."


Beaver County and the surrounding region will be getting an early taste of winter today with a frigid blast of air and snow from the Great Lakes.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Beaver, Allegheny and Lawrence counties expected to remain in effect until 6 p.m. today.
Meteorologist Terry Parrish of the weather service�s Moon Township station said 3 to 5 inches of snow and temperatures in the mid-20s are expected today. The temperature is expected to drop tonight to around 18 degrees.
Show showers were expected to begin after midnight on Thursday and continue through today. The weather service was predicting 1 to 3 inches of snow overnight and 1 to 2 inches more during the day today.
Parrish said the weather is unusual for this time of year. Temperatures typically range from the low 30s to the high 40s.
The good news is that the winter blast is expected to let up by Saturday.
The weather service is calling for sunshine and temperatures in the low 30s. Sunny skies will continue Sunday, and the temperature should climb to around 40.


"As someone who during my professional career has been touched both directly and indirectly by caring for young people in care & having left the care system; I am inspired and motivated by this brilliant project.
As a parent myself, knowing how much I care for my children, I have always struggled that as a society, our care leavers are often left to survive after 18 years old, alone.

In the past week, both Apple and Microsoft have laid out their next computer operating systems. In both cases, the features and design of the software are influenced heavily by what is going on in the phone and tablet markets.
Although both Windows 8 and Mac OS X Lion aim to bring a more phone-like operating system to notebooks and laptops, each has centered on different aspects of the mobile operating system.
With the Windows 8 design shown at the D9 conference last week, Microsoft has focused heavily on the way programs are organized and launched on phones, using a start screen that closely resembles Windows Phone 7.
Microsoft didn't go into great detail on Windows 8, but among the features it did show was a lock screen that appeared to have notifications similar to those found on a phone. It also showed the ability from within newly redesigned Windows apps to access documents like photos without having to hunt through the traditional Windows file system.
Apple, meanwhile, previewed Lion on Monday, showing a number of elements that are migrating to the Mac from iOS, including the automatic saving of documents, push notifications and greater multitouch gesture control. Apple had talked about bringing the best of iOS to the Mac when it first talked about Lion at a "Back to the Mac" event last October.
Both Apple and Microsoft have noted immersive, full-screen apps as one compelling feature from mobile operating systems that has a place on the desktop as well. Both also have built-in app stores, a notion popularized by Apple on the phone.
There are other mobile influences in both products. Windows 8, for example, will be the first version of Windows to run on ARM-based processors, common on mobile devices. As for Lion, it is the first Mac OS X release that won't come on disk, instead being offered for download via the Mac App Store.
Although Apple would clearly like to capitalize on the popularity of the iPad and iPhone, for Microsoft the need to add mobile features is perhaps even greater, as the company is counting on Windows 8 not only to take on the Mac, but also to regain ground lost to both the iPad and Android in the tablet space.
Lion is, of course, much further along, with developers getting a new release this week and general availability slated for next month. Microsoft has only showed a glimpse of Windows 8, with a wide release not expected until next year and the first beta unlikely to come before a September developer conference.


Natasha is our foster fail from a litter of kittens and yes, we still have her baby kitten pictures. We hadn't meant to foster kittens at that time but were compelled to step up when a dramatic situation arose at the local cat rescue UHARS.
A stranger arrived at Upper Hutt Animal Rescue where I was volunteering. He held a box containing a handful of very small bottle babies. They were in desperate need.
The Rescue's welfare officer declared that she would only have room for them (she was our tiny kitten specialist) if 'someone' took the mum and other nursing kittens she had at home. The alternative was the bottle babies would have to be put to sleep. Needless to say I volunteered.
I asked that kitty Mum cat 'Tawhai' and her nursing kittens be brought to our house with their crate. I was on my motorbike and as you can imagine, this is not ideal kitten transport!
When they were safely settled in I told Paul that we were fostering a family of kittens. He took it very well and the kittens and mum 'Tawhai' stayed with us for a couple of months to grow and play in safely.
Natasha is feisty and independent but loves to curl up in her teepee bed which is close to us, but she can pretend she is totally independent and not in the bedroom.
We are thankful for her vibrant personality as we join Brian's hop on Thursday.
I want to share some early picture of Natasha that celebrate her first trip outside. The pictures are from my point and shoot camera and record a fun moment fur years ago. The focus on automatic and the compotition is non-existent but they caputre a precious moment.
Natasha knew being fostered was fantastic and decided that she wanted to stay with us.
She started work on her dad and slowly wound Paul around her paw by cuddling shamelessly and sitting on his lap. It worked, so when Tawhai and the kitten siblings went back to UHARS for adoption, Natasha stayed.
Tortie supervision for Natasha's first time outdoors from Sienaa.
Join us to celebrate cats and cat life, and all the things are all should be thankful for with Brian and the fur family. Oh and just in case, here is Natasha, who was featured on the blog a while ago.
Bella, a local cat needs dental surgery her parents cannot afford. I would not usually post for this but she has Feline Stomatitis which I believe is what our long-time Twitter buddy Mario has and who surgery helped a lot. Your donation and shares would be most welcome.
I luv her name. That is a sweet story and it is wonderful that you all got to be a family. I bet she knew within those first few days with you that she had found her furr-ever home. I sure hope her fursibs and Tawhai have success stories of their own. Hugs.
She is a pretty little girl and knew how to ensure she was a foster fail.
The BEST fails are those that end in love and a Happy ending.
ERin the cat recently posted…Duvet Expert for Hire . . .
I never knew Natasha's story before – thanks for sharing it with us!
Natasha is such a pretty girl!
Natasha is so pretty, I can understand the foster fail. We sure wish sweet Bella all the best and will see about helping some after payday. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!


HARARE - Years after superstar musician Oliver Mtukudzi released the song "Who is a hero?" — a cabinet minister this week responded to the inquisitive tune by telling the star that he was also a hero.
At a Carnival Welcome Dinner in Harare this week where Mtukudzi performed two tourism promotion songs, Walter Mzembi, the minister of Tourism and Hospitality Industry praised Mtukudzi whom he said was a hero and deserved a diplomatic passport.
"I implore the senior minister in the President's Office, Cde Simon Khaya Moyo who is the guest of honour to take our request to the highest office so it grants the singer a diplomatic passport as he is a hero," said Mzembi.
The charismatic Tourism minister said while they recognised the heroes buried at the national shrine, it was equally important to recognise those who were still alive.
"Mtukudzi has been promoting brand Zimbabwe overseas and in Zimbabwe through his concerts and we would like to recognise him and others who include swimmers by awarding them diplomatic passports for their easy travel. They cannot be queuing with everybody," said Mzembi.
In a Carnival night that was full of drama, circus, dance and laughter, Mzembi had guests in stitches when he also implored Khaya Moyo to remember him during the next cabinet reshuffle.
The minister of state for Harare province Miriam Chikukwa put quite an act of her own when she was requested to give the welcome remarks.
Chikukwa was so overwhelmed by her province hosting the Harare International Carnival saying Harare, as the "first born of Zimbabwe" the capital city had the privileged rights to that honour.
After her remarks she sang one of the longest church hymns that drew both jeers and applause from the guests. "Everything is possible with God, but not with man," said the minister who throughout her remarks invoked God.
Chikukwa reflected on the Miss Carnival 2014 winner Gamuchirayi Kunjeke who had cried at the pronouncement that she had won the title. "I was there on the night Gamu was crowned. She cried but those were tears of joy and I could feel what she was going through.
The toast of the dinner was legislator Joseph Chinotimba who spent the whole evening on the dance-floor entertaining guests with his comic dances.
Chinotimba, like a "drunken master" had guests in stitches as he set the Carnival mood in motion.
The night's comic moments were augmented by the dinner's Master of Ceremonies who in his wisdom or presentation style, forgot the full names of the guests who included ministers and their wives. In some instances he would only just remember their surnames and totems!
Throughout the night the Master of Ceremonies was in Carnival mood and like a cartoon character, he fumbled at words and pronouncements.


Blog What Happens After Drug Rehab?
Once the initial rehab is over some of the hardest work is just beginning. Attending drug rehab is often the initial step for an addict to get their life on track.
But, what happens after drug rehab?
Sadly, life after rehab isn't always the easiest. In fact, rates of relapse are around 60 percent for drug addiction. This is due to the fact that addictions never truly go away, the temptations usually continue to exist for the rest of their lives.
But, even if relapse does occur this shouldn't be looked at as a failure. Often, relapse is seen as part of the lifetime recovery process and should be thought of as a hurdle, not an end to your life of sobriety.
However, there are steps you can take to help prevent relapse from occurring.
Below we dive into exactly what these steps entail and how you can make the best decisions moving forward, once the initial drug rehab is complete.
Aftercare will help you make the most out of your transition to a newly sober life. When you're just getting out of rehab you're going to need all the tools and support available to help maintain your sobriety.
There are different kinds of aftercare available, but it could be in the form of support groups, counseling, group therapy, or life skills and coping methods training.
To increase your chances of maintaining your sobriety it's a great idea to participate in some form of aftercare. Sometimes, the facility where you went through rehab will have an aftercare program built into treatment.
What Are the Common Causes of Relapse?
Unfortunately, relapse occurs for a variety of reasons. Staying off drugs is easy when you're at the treatment facility, but this becomes an immense challenge back in the real world.
Drug recovery is very difficult both physically and emotionally. For this reason, it's crucial that you have some form of support. That could be your family, or new peer group, or even a support group of others who are dedicated to living a sober life.
Drug use can be a very hard habit to break. Especially, if you're attempting to simply fall back into your old life. Without having healthy habits replacing your drug use, it's all too easy to relapse.
It's very easy to fall back into old drug and alcohol abuse patterns if you don't make big changes in your life. Spending time with the same peer group, hang out spots, and even location can work to trigger a relapse.
Being dedicated to your sobriety might mean having to cut people, places, and things from your life that do not support your lifestyle changes.
It's important to keep in mind that even if you slip up, this doesn't mean it has to become a full-blown relapse. If you can get back into recovery as soon as possible you can minimize the damages and learn from your experience.
A successful recovery requires a series of permanent lifestyle changes. However, it's recommended not to make too many large lifestyle changes at once, as this could lead to feelings of overwhelm and stress.
You might have a lot of things in your life that you want to fix, but it's important to break these up over the course of months and years, not days and weeks.
Maintaining sobriety is all about learning and growth.
Seek out new friends and peers who are supportive of your transition into your newly formed habits and lifestyle.
For some people this might mean moving to a new home, changing jobs, or even relocating to a new city.
It's important to have additional professional support, as well as, the support of your family and friends.
If you're involved in helping others recover it'll be that much easier for you to stay sober. For instance, supporting a recovering alcoholic will make it much easier for you to refrain from drinking.
Therapy and counseling can be incredibly effective for helping you reveal the underlying reasons for your addiction. Working through these issues can go a long way towards preventing relapse.
If you require a little assistance with the transition into a newly sober life, then reach out to our team of treatment professionals today.

The IMS and School of History fundraiser for Swim Across America, IMS MA student Stacy Anker's charity of choice, was highly successful and well-attended.
The Swim Across America fundraising event, held in the Hamilton-Thompson Foyer in the Michael Sadler Building at the University of Leeds from 14:00-16:00 on 24 May 2018, was hosted by the Institute for Medieval Studies (IMS) and School of History. Attendees were invited to participate in a Bake-Your-Research Challenge, and to visit with Shadow the wellbeing dog.
The event, held in honour of IMS MA student Stacy Anker (pictured above with her mother after a Swim Across America event), was a great success. A total of seven entries rounded out the Bake-Your-Research Challenge, and participants voted on their favourite bakes while enjoying complimentary coffee or tea. Andrea Mancini (IMS PG Researcher) ultimately won the prize for his purgatory cake entry. Faculty, administrative staff, and MA and PhD students part of the School of History and IMS stopped by regularly, and petting Shadow remained popular throughout the afternoon.
A total of £271.35 was raised for Swim Across America, and will be donated specifically to the Long Island Sound Chapter. Anker has participated in annual swims with this chapter since 2005 and described them as 'the absolute highlight of my summer'. The funds raised from swims in this chapter are directed to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (USA).
Anker is now undergoing treatment for cancer herself at this hospital, and appreciates the generosity of her colleagues. Anker called the amount raised 'amazing', and said she is 'honoured' by the support shown through the fundraiser.

It's Official: George Lucas hates his fans :P
STENDEC
18-Jan-2012, 4:40 AM
Hi Everybody! Long time viewer, first time poster. I just found an interesting interview with the New York Times that Lucas has done recently, wherein he claims he won't do any more Star Wars movies because:
"Why would I make any more," Lucas says of the "Star Wars" movies, "when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?"
Once again it seems Mr. Lucas is king at completely missing the point of just why people are so angry at him, as he also said:
On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie," Lucas says, referring to fans who, like the dreaded studios, have done their own forcible re-edits. "I'm saying: 'Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.
The full article is here: George Lucas Is Ready to Roll the Credits
Skip to page 3 if you want to read his comments on Star Wars specifically. It really is amazing that after all this time Mr. Lucas seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that no one is saying he can't edit his movies, but just that he should release the originals as well!
Obviously it is genuinely horrible what some people say of him (raped my childhood, worse than Hitler etc.) but I mean come on.
greenpenguino
^ Agreed.
He isn't worse than Hitler, but he's as thick as two short planks.

the fact that no one is saying he can't edit his movies,
We both know that that is not true at all.
What I understand from this article is :
1 - The official releases are the way he wants them to be, no matter what fanboys says. (no news here)
2 - He will retire from doing blockbusters movies and focus on more experimental little movies (heard that before, a long time ago... no news here)
3 - If you want to make a fanedit of his work, then "fine", but be sure to remove his name from the credits. (big news!)
Thanks George!
FrederikOlsen
Oh, cry me a river, George.
His final cuts will only remain "final" till he finds another way to wring some cash out of his oh-so-annoying fans.
Monolithium
He doesn't hate his fans, he just hates fans of Star Wars.
Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.
But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.
In that case, he needs to learn the fact that the word 'did' is in the past tense and leave the GOUT well enough alone.
Spoiler free for the ST
timdiggerm
There are two issues. There's the lack of the originals-release, and that's stupid of George, etc etc.
Then there's the prequels being terrible. With the prequels, George made the movies he wanted to make. And everyone yelled at him (even before the SE-only-released issue). Why would he make more movies like that if everyone yelled at him for it?
So what he says is true, from a certain point of view.

I've never met anybody who cares about the changes he has made or even future changes he might make. Doesn't mean everybody likes the changes, but if he'd release the original along with his new version, everybody would be happy.

I think this belief stems from the ambiguity of the word "should". I certainly say "he shouldn't make changes to his movies" all the time, but I really mean "It's not advisable that he make changes to his movies (because he always makes them worse)". But certainly some could misinterpret such a statement to mean "It it morally wrong for him to make changes to his movies" This is compounded by the fact that people (including me) definitely feel it's morally wrong for him to suppress the original films. A "should" in one statement right next to a moral issue in the next sentence is pretty much asking for a misunderstanding (and that's if you even bother to separate the two issues into two distinct statements, which most people don't).
So I can see how Alexrd (and perhaps Lucas himself) thinks people are saying he can't edit his movies. It's a sad fact that language is ambiguous, and that leads to misinterpretation. They are still wrong, but I can understand how they got there.
Darth Lars
I laughed so hard when I read this ...
So... George wants Adyway to replace his name in the credits with "Alan Smithee"?
How'd he go from "9-12 movies" to "there's no story to tell after 6" to "I was gonna make more but fans don't want it"?
6 is more than enough, but just sayin...
The DGA officially retired Mr. Smithee when the pseudonym became widely known. Then again, George quit the DGA, so maybe his official alias should be used? ;)

Whenever I read quotes of Lucas pissing & moaning over stupid things, I imagine a big fat man with glasses, beard, and a great head of hair sitting on his ass in a great big diaper, wailing like a banshee.
Thanks for that mental image, I need to go bleach my brain now...
I will never understand George Lucas???? The SW BluRay saga set are the highest selling BluRays of alltime, the Prequels grossed over a billion dollars, SW itself has made Lucas a Billionaire and Lucas is mad at a small minority of people that rant and rave on the internet????
Talk about sour grapes. Give me a billion dollars and a company like Lucasfilm, and the last thing I will be worrying about is what people say on the internet.
Talk about insecure!
RATLSNAKE
My answer to George on this point would be:
"100% agree George. You DID have the right to do this, however on three occasions in 1977, 1980, and 1983, prior to each film being designated as 'in the can' ready for duplication and presentation throughout the world.
After these periods of time have passed, is NOT when you have that right, especially when you're trying to change history and erase the past. Alternatre cut yes by all means, but not 'my new new new cut' etc. whenever you feel like it"

CO said:
I will never understand George Lucas????
Are you asking us???
I think that's the sad part. So many Star Wars fans (admittedly, myself included) have said immature, stupid things and I think that's soured the thing and the perception of us (which we do deserve to some extent), so I understand George's feelings about his fans in that sense. But at the same time, if I just had the OOT properly remastered to watch, I'd never have anything to complain about in the first place! OK, I might be critical of the prequels, but so what? Lucas is entitled to make the films he wants to make, but he has to accept that not everyone will like and agree with it. That's fine, no one gets universal acclaim, buy George, you're a billionaire. If you want to say "fuck you" to the fans, fine, by all means. Obviously, I don't like it, but hey, you own them and if you don't care about our opinions, then you don't have have to.
But if you do, then release the OOT properly to placate them. Doesn't really matter which it is (well, it does to me), but you CAN'T have your cake and eat it too George. You CAN'T. When EVERYONE, EVERYONE is saying this, don't you think you should maybe think about it? Doesn't mean you have to agree. Doesn't mean you have to do anything you don't want to do. Doesn't mean you can't put a big picture of your middle finger on Twitter if you'd like. But you did something people didn't like, you've had the opportunity to fix it for a decade and a half, and you've chosen not to. That's fine. It's your choice. But accept that people aren't going to like it. And either fix it, or move on and ignore us. It doesn't work both ways.

Lucas doesn't hate all his fans. He just hates the ones that don't kiss his ass.
My outlook on life - we're all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.
Ziz said:
actually he hates those too, but he's willing to tolerate them. what he does like is their disposable income. and thats the only thing he ever liked going back to 1973.
thats why it was critical for lfl to keep cascading the talking point "most important thing is story and characters" for the 10 years prior to tpm. if we knew the pt was nothing more than the police academy sequels, it wouldn't work.
Guy is delusional beyond comprehension.

Sure, George. Mean critics killed your future movies. It had nothing to do with your inflated ego, greed, and arrogance.
Poor guy's feelings have been hurt. :(
The sad thing is that this is just a ploy to convince SW fanboys to shell out more cash for TPM 3D so that the Flannel One will keep "making movies" i.e. tinkering with the same three movies over and over again and selling them to people as something new
"Grow up. These are my Disney's movies, not yours."
Just don't imagine the back hair, and you'll be fine.
George has had movie critic issues for a long time. There's a reason one of the villains in Willow is named "Kael", and a two headed monster is called an "Ebersisk".


ORYZON leverages its relationships with the broader research community to advance its epigenetic scientific platform and product development strategy. These research collaborations are important contributors to the company's product pipeline growth, and continue to provide expertise for the company in a cost effective manner.
ORYZON's business development strategy is guided in general by moving its product development through clinical phase II, and then forging mutually advantageous collaborations with partners who can provide later stage clinical development, regulatory and commercialization expertise and financial resources. For example, the company entered into collaboration with Roche in 2014 for this reason, to advance its lead oncology asset, Iadademstat (ORY-1001). For more information see the news release section of this website.
The company anticipates continuing to develop both its R&D collaborations and its business development collaborations to drive the growth of its business.

Trayvon Martin toxicology report allowed at Zimmerman trial
By News 13 Florida Seminole County
PUBLISHED 3:04 PM ET Jul. 08, 2013
George Zimmerman's defense attorneys are now allowed to mention to the jury that Trayvon Martin had traces of marijuana in his system when he died.
After dismissing the jury for the day Monday, Judge Debra Nelson denied a prosecution request to keep out parts of a toxicology report that shows Martin had small amounts of marijuana in his body.
Prosecutors argued the information would be prejudicial, but defense attorneys said it was relevant, since Zimmerman believed Martin was under the influence at the time he spotted him in his neighborhood.
Nelson said prosecutors would be allowed to call rebuttal witnesses.
Follow LIVE UPDATES from Day 20 of the trial.
Monday's testimony
Bill Lee, former Sanford Police chief.
Tracy Martin, Trayvon Martin's father.
Adam Pollock, the owner of a Longwood gym who trained Zimmerman in MMA fighting.
Chris Serino, Sanford Police detective, testifying for a second time.
Doris Singleton, Sanford Police officer, testifying for a second time.
John Donnelly, Leanne Benjamin's husband.
Leanne Benjamin, a friend of Zimmerman who met him through her real estate business.
Geri Russo, a friend and former co-worker of Zimmerman.
Mark Osterman, Zimmerman's best friend, testifying for a second time.
Sondra Osterman, a friend of Zimmerman's; previous witness Mark Osterman's wife.
Trayvon Martin's father testified Monday that he never denied it was his son's voice screaming for help on a 911 call, contradicting police officers' earlier testimony at Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial.
The defense also called former Sanford Police chief Bill Lee, who stepped aside and was later fired amid growing unrest over his department's decision not to arrest Zimmerman immediately following the deadly shooting. Lee says he offered to be present while the 911 call was played for the Martin family, but it wasn't accepted and he was excluded from the room.
Tracy Martin said that he merely told officers he couldn't tell if it was his son after his first time listening to the call.
"I never said that wasn't my son's voice," said Tracy Martin, who added that he concluded it was his son after listening to the call as many as 20 times.
Tracy Martin's testimony came after the lead investigator probing Martin's death testified that the father had answered "no" when the detective asked if the screams belonged to Trayvon Martin. Officer Chris Serino played the 911 call for Tracy Martin in the days immediately following Trayvon Martin's death in February 2012.
"He looked away and under his breath he said 'no,'" Serino said of Tracy Martin.
Officer Doris Singleton backed up Serino's account. A report released last year also showed that Tracy Martin "quietly responded 'no.'"
Convincing the jury of whose voice is on the tape is important to both sides because it would help jurors decide who was the aggressor in the confrontation that left Martin dead. Relatives of Martin's and George Zimmerman's have offered conflicting opinions about who is heard screaming.
During cross examination of Serino, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda suggested that Tracy Martin may have been in denial about his son's death and uttered, 'no."
"It could be perceived as denial," Serino said.
The investigator's testimony was just the latest effort to determine who was crying for help on the 911 calls. A series of Zimmerman's friends on Monday testified that the screams on the recording were their friend, and the 911 call was played multiple times in the courtroom.
After the call was played for Sondra Osterman, defense attorney Mark O'Mara asked who it was.
"Yes, definitely. It's Georgie," said Osterman, who testified she first met Zimmerman in 2006 while working with him at a mortgage company. Osterman and her husband, Mark, describe themselves as the best friends of Zimmerman and his wife.
The emergency call captured the confrontation between Zimmerman and Martin shortly before Zimmerman fatally shot the teen. Zimmerman's mother and uncle testified last Friday it was Zimmerman screaming. Martin's mother and brother also took the witness stand last Friday to say the voice belongs to Martin.
Zimmerman himself once said during a police interview that the screams didn't sound like him, though he and his family later said the screams were his.
Prosecutors had wanted to introduce as witnesses two audio experts who said the voice belonged to Martin and ruled out Zimmerman's voice. But Judge Debra Nelson prohibited the audio experts from testifying, saying their methods were unreliable.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and says he shot Martin in self-defense during a scuffle in the townhome complex where he lived. Martin was there visiting his father and his father's fiancee.
Prosecutors contend that Zimmerman was profiling Martin and perceived the teen as someone suspicious in the neighborhood, which had been the site of a series of break-ins.
Prosecutors were also seeking Monday to stop defense attorneys from presenting an animated depiction of the fatal fight. Their motion requests that the animation not be mentioned or played at Zimmerman's trial, claiming it would only confuse jurors. They said the animation doesn't show a murder weapon, only approximates positions based on witness accounts and artificially depicts lighting conditions.
Defense attorneys hadn't immediately filed a response. Prosecutors said in their motion that the animation commissioned by the defense was created by employees of the animator re-enacting the fight wearing motion-capture suits.
Under cross-examination, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda implied that Sondra Osterman and her husband, Mark, had a stake in the outcome of the trial because they had written a book about Zimmerman's case and were donating the proceeds to their friend.
Mark Osterman took the witness stand after his wife to testify about how Zimmerman had chosen and purchased his firearm. He testified that Zimmerman could shoot with both hands, and he also said he recommended keeping the gun loaded.
He said it was Zimmerman's voice screaming when the 911 call was played for him in the courtroom.
Former co-worker Geri Russo also testified it was Zimmerman yelling on the call, as did John Donnelly and Leanne Benjamin, a married couple who became good friends with Zimmerman and his wife.
The prosecutor also played for Sondra Osterman a nonemergency police call Zimmerman made to report Martin walking through his neighborhood. In the call, Zimmerman uses the words, "F------ punks. These a-------. They always get away." Sondra Osterman identified the voice as Zimmerman's.
When asked by O'Mara if she detected ill will, spite or hatred in his voice, she answered no.
Prosecutors must show that Zimmerman acted with ill will, spite or a depraved mind in order to get a second-degree murder conviction.
Defense attorneys also called the owner of a gym where Zimmerman had gone to lose weight to explain to jurors the mixed-martial arts fighting method called "ground and pound." Defense attorneys have said that Martin slammed Zimmerman's head into the sidewalk while he was on top of him in "a ground and pound" maneuver. To demonstrate the move, gym owner Adam Pollock straddled O'Mara on the courtroom floor. Pollock testified that Zimmerman trained in the form of fighting known as grappling but was an unaccomplished fighter.
"He was physically soft," said Pollock when asked to rank Zimmerman's athletic skill on a scale of 1 to 10.
Prosecutors want animation of struggle to stay out of trial
Prosecutors have asked a judge to prevent George Zimmerman's defense attorneys from showing jurors a computer-animated depiction of his fatal confrontation with Trayvon Martin.
A motion made public Monday requests that the animation not be mentioned or played at Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial. Prosecutors say it would only confuse jurors.
Prosecutors say the animation doesn't show a murder weapon and only approximates positions based on witness accounts.

Mineko Grimmer, an artist born and raised in Japan and living in Los Angeles for many years, reflects upon various aspects of human awareness through installation art. Remembering Plato, the title of Grimmer�s work, is a gentle offering. The artist places the viewer within a room-sized sculpture, a space where time and motion are noticeably different from what we normally experience in our daily lives.
She deliberately strips down the moving parts of her sculpture into an essential process that is both quiet and engaging. Matter is transformed from one state into another: ice, frozen into pyramids that are impregnated with tiny stones, melts into droplets that fall with the freed pebbles into larger basins of water. The process is elegant and soothing. It is an experience of sheer and simple pleasure, inducing a state of consciousness that is both hypnotic and peacefully meditative.
The emission of stones from the melting forms is initially slow, then progressively quickens, creating a counterpoint of waiting and anticipation; as in so much of life. As the frozen pyramids eventually yield water, the drops falling slowly into the water-filled basins activate concentric ripples outward from the point of impact. As we recognize the correspondence between this primary phenomenon of water entering water and the light-projected animation of shadows on the walls, we have the opportunity to grasp the relationship between object and image, motion and emotion�the metaphorical connection between fluid interior and fragmented exterior. These evocations of Plato�s shadows projected onto the gallery walls are mere shadows and reflections: partial distillations and traces of the primary experience. They are like memories or images captured in film, animating the internal mechanism of a clock we do not ordinarily see or use, one that corresponds to the soul�s tempo. Time is metaphorical and elastic here, delineating a place of peace and tranquility.


The platform that in 2018 led to the sale of 270.1 million articles and US $ 11,700 million in transactions shares its vision regarding the moment of e-commerce in our region.
E-commerce has a great opportunity for growth in Latin America, which has the example of what happens in China at the level of trends, said the regional vice president of the company Mercado Libre, Sean Summers.
"The behavior in general (of the consumer) is similar, countries in Latin America are in different places on the same curve in what is the development of e-commerce," said Summers, who holds a degree in Business Administration from the Catholic University of Argentina.
The company's representative, who was founded in 1999, asked "to keep in mind that, despite the fact that we and e-commerce in Latin America are 19 years old, we are still in the first minutes of the game".
"Today the penetration of e-commerce on retail sales (retail) is between 4% and 5% in the region, which is very low compared to 11% in the United States, 16% in the United Kingdom or 20%. % of China " he said.
For Summers, who has a master's degree in business administration (MBA) from the Business School of Stanford University in the United States, the sector will boost its growth by taking trends in what happens in China.
"We always look outside the region, we are always trying to learn and we are somehow making our way in. There is no road map that one can follow, because it is a very new industry in the world, we always see innovations" , He said.
"We know that markets like China, Korea, are always one step ahead and are advanced, and we look to see what trends are happening there that could be relevant tomorrow in Latin America," the interviewee added.
Last year, the Mercado Libre platform led to the sale of 270.1 million items, with a growth of 49.1% compared to 2016, which resulted in a total of US $ 11.7 billion in transactions on the platform.
In this context, the presence of China grows, with vendors of that origin and as a desirable market for small and medium-sized companies in the 19 countries of the region in which the platform operates.
"The main users are microenterprises, small and medium enterprises that today use our tools locally," said the regional vice president of Mercado Libre.
"They have managed to operate nationally and I believe that in the future they will be able to use our tools to get out of a national market and be able to sell to the world, to China," he said.
He also mentioned that "there are today, and we are already seeing, sellers from China, the United States and Europe, who are selling from there in some of our markets, we are seeing that there is a lot of interest".
"The main challenge we have is how to reduce the delivery times of a product that was bought in the United States, in Europe or in China," admitted the manager.
"Still a very small part of our sale, but we see that that exists, small 'traders' (operators) that have the ability and very good access to many products of very good quality and price in China, and sell from there to the region "commented Summers.
Sales, in those cases, occur because "there is an interest of the Latin American consumer in accessing products that they can not access locally".
At the end of 2018, the product offering within the platform increased to 114.2 million items listed.
The mobile penetration in turn continues with an increase in relevance, representing 50% of the monetary volume in transactions in the platform in the last quarter of 2018.
In 2018, net sales reached US $ 1,398.1 million, 65.6% more than in 2016, while net income was US $ 13.8 million or 0.31 dollars per share, as Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela , Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay the main markets.

Powerball has nine prize tiers, and you win by matching the numbers you choose to the winning numbers drawn. You can win a prize by matching the Powerball alone, but you must match all five main numbers plus the Powerball to land the jackpot. Learn all about the different ways to win, the odds of winning and how to claim any prizes.
The prize you win depends on how many of the winning numbers you match. The table below shows what you need to do to win in each tier, the odds of doing so, and the prize amounts before tax. Your overall chances of winning any Powerball prize are around 1 in 25.
The jackpot starts at $40 million and increases every time it is not won. It is regularly worth hundreds of millions of dollars and has even exceeded $1 billion. Visit the Powerball Winners page for a list of the 10 biggest jackpots in the history of the game.
Prizes of up to $600 are not taxed, but if you win an amount between $600 and $5,000 you will need to report your winnings on a federal income tax form. Any prize over $5,000 will be subject to a federal withholding of at least 24% (up to 37% for jackpot winners).
Additionally, you may be taxed at a state level depending on where you bought your ticket. New York has the highest tax rate of 8.82%, with Maryland just behind on 8.75%. California, Florida, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, U.S Virgin Islands, Washington State and Wyoming are the only locations that do not tax lottery winnings.
If you win a prize, you must claim it in the state where you bought your ticket. Each state has its own limit for how long tickets remain valid, ranging from 90 days from the date of the draw in New Mexico to a year in several jurisdictions. You can claim prizes of up to $600 from authorised retailers, but for larger amounts you will need to submit a claim by mail or visit a regional claims center. If you win the jackpot, you should contact your state lottery directly and make arrangements to claim the prize in person.
If you win the jackpot, you can choose between a lump sum or an annuity. The annuity is the advertised jackpot value and will see you paid in 30 instalments over 29 years, with the first payment made straight away. The annuity shows how much you will receive if the money is invested by the lottery, taking into account all of the profits that the investments would make over the 29-year period. The annuity payments will grow by 5 percent each year to cover inflation and cost of living increases. The cash option is smaller as it contains only the money raised from ticket sales during that game and any preceding rollovers.

Archive, Interview
Interview: Cheat Codes
From the interview archives.
DJ trio Cheat Codes is a collaborative effort by Trevor Dahl, Kevin Ford, and Matthew Russell based out of LA. Their debut single Visions was released in 2015 and it quickly shot to the top of the charts, as did the singles that followed. Since then, Cheat Codes have released a number of singles, collaborated with artists like Demi Lovato and Fetty Wap and toured with The Chainsmokers. VULKAN caught up with Cheat Codes to get a sense of how they got together and how their unique dynamic sets them apart from other artists.
How did you three link up to start Cheat Codes?
Trevor and Matt met in St. Louis years ago while playing a show together. Matt and I (Kevi) met in LA – at that time Trevor had just relocated back to LA from Portland and was living with Matt we decided to make a few bangers and the rest is history.
What would you say is the one unique thing each of you bring to the project?
The unique thing about us is that we can do it all; we produce, we write, we sing, and we party. Life moves fast and we want to accomplish everything we can while we are on this planet.
I'm curious about the process you guys use when you collaborate with other artists, like you did with Fetty Wap for Feels Great. What role did you each play in the making of the song? Did Fetty come with some ideas and you all brainstormed and worked off of that or did you show him some baseline productions and then expand on them?
For us, when we collaborate, sometimes we think of the person that would be perfect for it while we're writing the track then and there. Other times we'll think of the perfect collaboration for the song over a vodka red bull while pregaming for a show. For 'Feels Great' we had the song pretty much done when we sent it over to our boy Fetty. He vibed with it and sent it back with an added verse.
What's the vibe in the studio when you guys are producing a new track, and how do you set the mood?
The vibe is always good you know? We don't mess with bad vibes. We usually set the mood by sparking the trippy stock and just let the creative good vibes flow from there.
Do any of you have any ritualistic quirks as a part of your creative process?
Yeah, whenever we're in the studio, one habit we have is to always make something and create something that we love that we vibe to.
What's one studio or environment that you haven't had a chance to record in yet that you'd love the opportunity to?
Well, we haven't really recorded in any studios actually because everything we've made was made in our bedroom but if we could make a record anywhere it'd be nice to make it out in Mykonos.
What are some of your go-to pieces of gear right now? Are they any new releases you're looking forward to, either analogue or digital?
Our go to pieces right now – I guess are Ableton for DAW, Serum, Sylenth, anything native instruments is always chill. We don't really keep up with what's new and out because we're always traveling, but if there's something we ever stumble upon we dig, we just add it to the arsenal.
How long would you estimate you spend on the mixing stage of arranging and who would you say is the most picky about the finished product?
Mixing time really varies – it's normally 1-3 days. It depends on how were feeling at the time. And most picky would prob be Trev. He's got the ear of a god.
Do you have any other collaborations in the works coming up, and if not, is there someone you have your sights set on asking?
We have a got a bunch of collabs were brewing up. One big one we'd love to do would, would be have to be Drake though. We have mad respect for him and we'd make a banger together, I think.
How do you get hyped up before a big performance and what do you like to have on hand for showtime?
We usually get hyped by talking about future goals over don Julio 1942 on the rocks 15 minutes before we head to stage.
Can you sum up what music means to you in one sentence?
Music is everything to us. I once heard from a wiseman that 'Without music life is a journey through the desert.'
What's one album that you can't stop listening to right now?
One album we can't stop vibing with has to be 'Stoney' by Post Malone. That album is a work of art. Post is a genius.
Is there any one city in particular that you'd like to perform in in 2018?
One city we'd love to perform in? It would have to be any city in Asia really. We hear it's beautiful out there and we haven't been there yet.
What are your biggest career ambitions at this time?
Our career ambitions are to just be constantly getting better at what we do. We wanna live in the studio, get a bunch of music ready, and prepare a cohesive piece of art for the fans. Much love for 2018 – may it bless us all.
