11 Most Unforgettable One-Hit Wonders of 1998
There's nothing quite like hearing a song that takes you back to a special moment in time, conjures memories, and evokes emotion and a sense of nostalgia. However, while many of these songs tend to come from the more successful and revered artists of all-time, occasionally, the songs we hold nearest and dearest to our hearts are actually more obscure and from artists that have been forgotten or overlooked through the years.
Known as one-hit wonders, these artists can be found throughout the history of recorded music, but the '90s were particularly notorious for breeding just as many one-hit wonders as legendary pop stars and cultural icons. One year in particular that was ripe with one-hit wonders is 1998, when the music industry was at its height in terms of annual sales in revenue across the board.
We're looking back at eleven of the most unforgettable one-hit wonders from 1998—and the songs that will keep them alive forever.
"Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)"
Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz
The birthplace of hip-hop got a brand new anthem in 1998 when Bronx duo Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz came out swinging with their debut single, "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)." Peaking at No. 9 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and earning platinum certification, "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" was the group's sole single to reach the Top 40 and represented the extent of their fifteen minutes of fame, though Gunz has enjoyed a successful transition into reality TV stardom.
"Are You Jimmy Ray?"
Jimmy Ray
English export Jimmy Ray arrived on the U.S. scene in grand fashion with his 1998 single "Are You Jimmy Ray?," a song that peaked just outside of the Top 10, reaching No. 13 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. His most popular song to date, "Are You Jimmy Ray?" would be the last time many Americans would hear of the rocker, as his follow-up singles failed to stick quite like their predecessor.
"Swing My Way"
K.P. & Envyi
K.P. and Envyi represented for the ladies with their 1998 club banger, "Swing My Way," an uptempo jam dedicated to the women unafraid of going after what they want. Peaking at No.6 on the Hot 100, "Swing My Way" continued the trend of bass music's national spread, but the song would be the duo's only Top 40 hit.
"Say It"
Voices of Theory
Hailing from North Philadelphia, R&B quintet Voices of Theory made their presence felt on the Billboard charts with their 1998 single "Say It," which reached No. 10 on the Hot 100. However, the song was Voices of Theory's only track to reach gold status, as the group disbanded shortly after release.
"Daydreamin'"
A majority of people will remember her from playing Ashley Banks on the classic sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but Tatyana Ali was also an aspiring pop star, releasing her debut album, Kiss the Sky, in 1998. The album included the the Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hit, "Daydreamin'," a platinum-certified track that helped push the album to gold certification. Unfortunately, it was Ali's only song to gain traction in the U.S., marking the end of a short-lived music career.
"Make It Hot"
Nicole Wray featuring Missy Elliott & Mocha
The first artist signed to Missy Elliott's The Goldmine imprint, Nicole Wray had all eyes on her heading into the release of her debut album, Make It Hot, in 1998. In spite of scoring one of the more indelible R&B tracks of the year with the album's titular lead single, which became a Top 5 hit, Make It Hot ultimately faltered on the charts and, aside from a handful of guest spots, Wray never reached that level of musical success again.
"Tubthumping"
Despite being hailed as indie stars in the U.K. for more than a decade, Chumbawamba scored their first and only stateside hit with 1998's "Tubthumping," the group's most successful song to date. Peaking at No. 6 on the Hot 100, "Tubthumping" remains a raucous party jam that still gets spins at pubs and frat parties alike.
"Crush"
Jennifer Paige's sultry 1998 single, "Crush" reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, her eponymous debut album was a commercial disappointment, topping only at No. 139 on the Billboard 200. Paige would go on to have a lengthy career, with five studio albums under her belt, but would never release another song that rivaled the success of "Crush."
"Sex and Candy
Alternative rockers Marcy Playground were responsible for one of the biggest jams of 1998 with their provocative track "Sex and Candy," which rose all the way to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Released as the lead single from their self-titled debut album, "Sex and Candy" put Marcy Playground on the national radar, but the group would fail to deliver another hit and gradually faded into obscurity.
"When the Lights Go Out"
1998 can be considered the year of the boy bands, but one group from the era that often gets lost in the shuffle is Five, a British quartet that scored a home run with "When the Lights Go Out." The only single from the group to reach the Top 40 on the Billboard 200—though, follow-up single "It's The Things You Do" did make a small buzz—"When the Lights Go Out" is remembered as the group's lone shining moment in the U.S.
"Westside"
R&B artist TQ infused the genre with a bit of thuggery with his 1998 hit "Westside," the lead single from his debut album, They Never Saw Me Coming. Reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Westside" would be TQ's most popular hit, as he would spend the rest of his career in music industry limbo, bouncing between labels.

Play It On The Radio #2
Oh yea, I'm back with second part of the series that I started last week. I got some interesting figures on a certain 'Rapper turned Rocker' and some good news for Shady/Aftermath fans. Oops, I mean Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit fans. So here we go.
Lil Wayne's new rock single 'Prom Queen' is already on fire. Other than impacting big on Rhythmic, Urban and Top 40 Radio, the single has already sold more than 100k copies this week. On iTunes, it is on No.3 right now as I speak and Youtube has also logged about 500k views already. In addition to that, the AT&T & Facebook stream got about 20k views. Phew. And you know how I feel about that track !
Eminem's new single 'Crack A Bottle' featuring Dr. Dre & 50 Cent may be doing better than what everybody expected. It's Top 10 on the Rhythmic radio already and also impacting big on Urban and Top 40. But the biggest news is that single has been released to the iTunes store and is currently No.1 on the Top songs list. Great news for the 3-headed monster.
50 Cent's 'I Get It In' officially makes its debut on the Rhythmic radio at No. 39.
T.I.'s 'Dead & Gone' featuring Justin Timberlake has the most increased plays on Rhythmic radio. Also nearing Top 20 on Top 40 radio.
Busta Rhymes' new single 'Hustlers Anthem 2009' has not been officially released to the radio but it's already getting very good reactions from whatever spins it has received till now.
Flo Rida's 'Right Round' is the most added song on Top 40.
Bow Wow's TLC sampled 'You Can Get It All' featuring Johnta Austin, Ciara's 'Never Ever' featuring Young Jeezy, Rich Girl's '24s' featuring Bun B, Soulja Boy's 'Kiss Me Thru The Phone' featuring Sammie, Jamie Foxx's 'Blame It' featuring T-Pain and T-Pain's 'Freeze' featuring Chris Brown are the other new tracks making big moves on the airplay figures.

Villarreal Gala: no big surprises, but good news for the fans
By Allen Dodson Jun 10, 2011, 9:00am CEST
Share All sharing options for: Villarreal Gala: no big surprises, but good news for the fans
President Roig, we like Borja too!!
(Note:I've amended this from the earlier post to include links to some of the videos and still photos)
As Javi Mata tweeted after the fact, the Villarreal gala is a bit like Villarreal. Real Madrid and Barcelona, anyway, would probably spend their money on slick video presentations and big-name stars (I hope Shakira would give Barca a discount, at least).
Villarreal takes a different approach, with local stars (the Coral San Jaume, winner of the choral contest on Canal Nou), videos produced in-house, and press officer Hernan Sanz as one of the MC's. The event was held at the local auditorium (held about 700, I think).
Full credit to the club for streaming the event worldwide, even though the execution fell short at times. The livestream feed faced capacity constraints right away (they really do need to think bigger!), and the ustream feed had a couple of glitches too. Nonetheless, I was able to watch most of it, and what I saw was certainly enjoyable.
The first part of the show included a number of videos, some previously available on Villarreal TV, some not. It began with wonderful goals from La Liga and the Copa del Rey matches, then the Europa League was featured. Santi and Borja were among those interviewed along with the highlights, then there was a reminder of some of the previous CL campaigns.
There were a couple of cool videos I hadn't seen before. One was a blooper clip which included some of the outtakes from the Christmas video (those I had seen) as well as Nilmar, Bruno, Cani and others. It was fun, and for those of you with better Spanish than I, you'll certainly enjoy it.
The other neat video was a new one the club put together for the season ticket campaign. It features a number of players, including Santi Cazorla, Marchena, Bruno, and Capdevila, along with Coach Garrido and fans carrying a large flag and singing. The theme is "Jugamos todos" ("Let's All Play") and that was a key theme of the gala.
Which brings us to our keynote speaker!
Sr. Roig was greeted by loud cheers, welcomed all the afición around the world to the gala, and noted the fan support via the web, twitter, and facebook (well, actually he said "tweetbook"(!)).
It was soon clear he wasn't going to be announcing any surprise signing during the gala, but emphasized that last year was a "transition year" leading to a great year to come. In that vein, he announced several initiatives relating to next year in El Madrigal.
Villarreal is keeping ticket prices unchanged from last year (absorbing the increased VAT tax to do so) and is also continuing their free or discounted tickets for unemployed groguets. And season ticket holders can get a free BP discount card, too, nothing to sneeze at given Spanish petrol prices.
One new initiative seems to have grown out of the outstanding support for the team during the European campaign--the club is creating a 'Grada Animacion', an area some of the livelier support of the team can call its own (and some of these guys were in evidence during the gala, which was great fun!) Sr. Roig spoke of the importance of the cantera (another big theme of the night), working with the smaller provincial clubs, etc. He was upbeat, while maintaining the theme that Villarreal would 'keep its head' and continue to do things in an intelligent way. (Speaking of which, Sr. Llaneza was not there; he was in Sevilla, negotiating with Betis to get the money they owe us from the Jonathan Pereira deal).
Between the stream cutting out and a phone call, I missed the last few minutes. I gather César was introduced as a new signing, and the evening ended with the Coral San Jaume singing the official himno del Villarreal as well as the Champions' League anthem.
Afterward, Javi Mata tweeted what I assume were notes from a press conference Sr. Roig gave:
On Senna: He believes a deal is still possible
On Manzano's interest in bringing Borja Valero to Sevilla (in the news today): "it's great that you (Manzano) like him, but I like him too, and I have an advantage, a four-year contract". (!!!)
On Malaga: No offers for anyone, but it's fine to talk and "Manuel (Pellegrini) knows anyone would be expensive"
Transfers out in general: We haven't received anything. Lots of interest, but no offers.
I hope the full show will be up on the official club website soon, and I'm sure you'll pick up on other nice moments when you see it. We groguets support quite an amazing club, and this gala was proof of that!!

Screenwriter Rachel Langer gives voice to the pain and stigma of endometriosis.
Rachel Langer has been in pain every moment of every day since she was 14.
It's not always the same type of pain, either. Langer identifies three separate strains of pain that rock and roll within her: the achy pain that's been a near-constant companion for roughly half her life; the stabbing pain that rears itself at least once a day; and the flare-up pain, the intensity of which has sent her to the ER on numerous occasions.
"I live with some form [of pain], sometimes all forms, every day," says Langer matter-of-factly.
The root cause is endometriosis: tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it, forming lesions and gluing organs together.
Endometriosis affects one in 10 Canadian women, and there's no cure.
But the Leo Award-winning, Vancouver-based screenwriter – whose growing list of credits includes This Life, Ghost Wars, and the highly anticipated series The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco and The Order – is leveraging her position within the film and television industry to draw attention to a disease that is largely misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and woefully underfunded.
Langer wasn't always so eager to speak publicly about her endometriosis, working as she does in a segment of the film industry where women are underrepresented.
But by sharing her story, Langer has impacted more lives than just her own, as she learned when her 2017 essay went viral.
"I've heard from so many women who say, 'I didn't know that other people were going through this, and I felt so alone,' which isn't what I was going for but it's a nice by-product," she says.
Doctors don't always know what to do with endometriosis patients, says Langer, who first felt the searing pain of endometriosis at 14 but had to wait 11 more years for an ovarian cyst to burst before doctors were able to diagnose her.
After years of mostly misses from medical professionals, Langer has developed what she describes as a "pain partition" to cope with the unrelenting agony.
Langer – who is scheduled for a hysterectomy later this month, a procedure that she notes does not guarantee an end to her woes – is quick with a list of action items that she believes will dramatically improve the lives of patients with endometriosis: more funding for research, more training for triage ("They're just not designed to work with chronic issues. They don't consider that chronic becomes critical when there's a flare-up"), and the big one: believe women when they tell you something's wrong.

JW July 31, 2020 Tim Winterstein
"Hero/it's a nice-boy notion that the real world's gonna destroy./You know/it's a Marvel-comic-book, Saturday-matinee fairytale, boy. … When they ain't as big as life/When they ditch their second wife/ Where's the boy to go?" (Steve Taylor, "Hero").
You can sympathize with Lloyd Vogel when he thinks there's more to Fred Rogers than what he presents to children on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. In A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019; Redbox or for purchase on Amazon Prime), Vogel (writer Tom Junod, in real life) is assigned to write a profile on Fred Rogers for an Esquire magazine issue on heroes. When he tells his wife, Andrea, that he's going to Pittsburgh to interview Mister Rogers, she says, "Oh, I love him." "You do?" And she says, "At least it's someone good." "We'll see," Lloyd says. "Don't ruin my childhood," Andrea says.
People we admired, people we liked, people we wanted to emulate: how many of the pillars on which we placed them have been smashed by revelations from the distasteful to the offensive to the evil? "Don't meet your heroes," the saying goes, because how often do they not live up to our expectations? That, of course, might be part of the problem. From what we see on the screen, we create images of people and what they must be like; we have trouble distinguishing between the person and the characters they play. And when we discover that they are not the people we've seen and imagined, those shattered perceptions become a mountain of skepticism or cynicism.
So Lloyd's expectations are not foreign to what we know often to be the case. But it's not just that Lloyd has expectations about what people are like when the camera is off. He expects it because his father first shattered the heroic image that boys often have of their fathers. His father abandoned Lloyd, his sister, and their dying mother just when they needed him the most. The movie implies that Lloyd has often interviewed people with the intention of exposing what lies beneath their false facades. He expects that it won't be otherwise with Fred Rogers.
But Rogers isn't what Lloyd expects. When Lloyd asks him whether he considers himself a hero, he says, "No, I wouldn't say that I consider myself a hero." But what about Mister Rogers? When Fred says he doesn't understand the question, Lloyd tries to pull apart Fred Rogers the person from "Mister Rogers," the TV personality. Lloyd expects hypocrisy. He expects that people are never what they appear to be, or how they present themselves. He expects everyone to be wearing some kind of mask (even when they're not mandated by state governments).
Instead of a dual man, with one face for the public and one in his private life, Lloyd finds a complicated man who practices the sort of virtue he wants to present to children. Mister Rogers put into practice the sort of habits that would make him the sort of man he wanted to be, first in private, and then in public. He seems to have been a model of integrity.
The structure of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood has a subtle brilliance in that it performs the same function narratively as the questions that Fred turns back toward Lloyd. When Lloyd has finished his profile of Mister Rogers, Andrea reads it and says, "It's not really about Mister Rogers. It's more about you. It's really good." (It is definitely also about Mister Rogers.)
Isn't that what the best characters and movies and literature and stories and people do? In showing us something that appears to be about someone else, they actually show us who we are. And if that's what they can do, then maybe heroes will cease to be flawless icons of greatness, and instead be patterns for living out a life. As Joanne Rogers says in the film, "He's not a perfect man." If we hold up Fred Rogers, or anyone else, as perfection, then they and their behavior are out of the reach of the majority of people. And that's the last thing toward which Mister Rogers would aim.
In that same scene, Joanne eschews the word "saint," but maybe we ought to restore the Christian, rather than the popular, conception of saints. Instead of viewing saints as primarily those who have an extra capacity for holiness in their lives, Lutherans have always honored notable Christians (including those notable only for us, like Timothy's Lois and Eunice) as exemplars of both faith and life. They are not, by their own virtue, a few steps beyond us toward perfection. They are, like us, believing, struggling, living, working in the midst of the same age, the same world, the same life. As they believed, so they acted in love. Thus they become for us believers to emulate.
The stories of saints (i.e., the holy ones who belong to the holy God), as well as the stories of other virtuous people, have a part to play in the ways that we live and serve our neighbors. As Lloyd attempts to profile Mister Rogers, it is his own profile that he sketches. As we likewise look into the mirrors such stories provide and see reflected our own lives, perhaps then, as far as it is possible in this life, the person begins to match a little more closely the persona.

Instead of watching NFL football today, my plan is to watch Lewis Hamilton wrap up the Formula 1 title at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas — which also happens to be the first F1 race in quite a while to be seen on North American TV at a reasonable hour of the day. Seriously, getting up way early in the morning or staying up late at night to watch F1 races is no good.
Also, the other good thing is that if Hamilton wins today, I can go ahead and ignore the rest of the F1 races left on the calendar and concentrate on NASCAR instead.
I guess the American-based owners of F1 have quietly relented on their decision to get rid of the grid girls entirely, because I notice the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have shown up in Austin, again.
UPDATE: No title today. I guess I have to watch the Mexico race now.

Wetlands still remain in every part of the state, with the greatest concentration in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and its watershed, which includes the Central Valley. While wetlands in all areas of the state are important, the Delta and related wetlands take on special significance because they are part of the vast complex of waterways that provide two-thirds of California's drinking water.
In general, California's wetlands are the bogs, swamps, estuaries and marshes connected to streams, groundwater, rivers, lakes and coastlines. The majority of California's wetlands are semi-aquatic links in a water-based chain extending from the Sierra Nevada mountain range to the Pacific Ocean.
Wetlands have their own unique ecosystems, which typically include specific types of soils supporting plants adapted to the soils and a watery environment. Despite their name, wetlands are not always wet, though characteristically, they experience periodic saturation.
The vast majority of California's wetlands are freshwater and found in bogs, marshes and swamps. The state has also significant coastal and tidal wetlands, and along lakes and rivers (known as riparian wetlands).
One acre of wetlands can filter 7.3 million gallons of water a year.
Many Californians are aware only of coastal and tidal wetlands, yet the majority of California's wetlands lie in freshwater environments. Freshwater marshes occur in ponds and slow moving water.
Wetlands are the among the hardest working biosystems on the planet, rivaling rain forests and coral reefs in productivity of life and oxygen. They are essential in fostering biodiversity within a broad ecosystem, and loss of wetlands has resulted not only in a loss of this diversity, but also in the extinction and endangerment of numerous species. Half of all animals and a third of all plants listed as endangered depend on wetlands.
Science has shown that California's wetlands are part of a large, interconnected system. To protect one element in it, all must be addressed. While protection of wetlands is a continuing emphasis, so is acquisition of wetlands and restoration.


ReChoice (officially, Renewable Energy Choice) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organized to promote consumer choice is renewable energy resources. They believe that if consumers have easy, affordable choices available as to energy sources, they will overwhelmingly choose to use renewable resources.
ReChoice functions as an education and advocacy group for renewable energy generally, with most of their emphasis presently on solar. They also serve as a charitable organization, in their funding of new solar installations provided free to other non-profits. Such installations function as "energy endowments" for those organizations, since they get free solar power for the life of their new solar installation, which frees up funding that would otherwise be dedicated to paying a power bill. More info is available at their website, www.rechoice.org.

Gender-based Violence and Poverty in Europe | Briefing #2
EAPN position papers and reportsFeaturedNews and publicationsPublications
Gender-based violence is a silent disease. It affects women and girls of all ages but is particularly hard with those who live in poverty and face social vulnerability.
In this report, we analyse the context, the typology and the features of this grave human rights violation, which has a big social and economic impact in Europe.
We present the situation of the EU28, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the candidate countries, including some good practices.
Finally, we analyse the EU role and the Istanbul Convention, recommending 15 measures that governments should implement in order to eradicate gender-based violence and promote the victims' human rights in Europe.
What are the purposes and scope of this paper?
Violence against women and girls is a global pandemic that has or will affect 1 in 3 women in their lifetime. Violence is not only a personal struggle for the victims, but also has severe consequences on social and economic outcomes.
As a leading European network on advocacy against poverty, EAPN is well positioned to reflect on and denounce violence against women and girls, as well as the inter-sectoral relation it has to poverty, around the EU.
This paper is drafted by the Gender and Poverty Group of EAPN in order to increase the awareness on gender-based violence and its effects on women's risk of poverty across Europe, among EAPN members, but also among key stakeholders at EU and national levels and broader public. With clearer insights into the importance, scope and impacts of gender-based violence on the economic situation and wellbeing of women and their children, the advocacy and lobbying activities of EAPN related to poverty reduction and improved social inclusion, as well as policy making at EU and national levels, will be able to more precisely focus on effective policies and programs.
This paper presents definitions, prevalence, characteristics, consequences of different forms of gender-based violence against women.
Its main focus is on intimate-partner violence against women, which is the most prevalent form of violence against them globally, with far-reaching consequences to their living standard and overall wellbeing.
The second focus is on trafficking and exploitation of women. In these conditions, poor women from the less developed countries are particularly vulnerable.
Within these two, sexual violence and harassment are considered. Sexual violence is any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, unwanted sexual comments or advances against a person's sexuality using coercion, by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is another form of violence against women and girls, according to the United Nations (UN). FGM includes procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. Beyond extreme physical and psychological pain, the practice carries many health risks, including death.
Another form is Child Marriage, which usually means an end to girl's education, vocation and her right to make life choices. Research confirms that girls who marry during their childhood are at greater risk for intimate partner violence than girls of the same age who marry later. These two forms are particularly significant in some Member States, and sometimes in concrete ethnic or cultural groups.
Poverty is by itself a form of structural violence, the one that is embedded in the social structures marked by inequalities. As J. Galtung stressed, resources are unequally distributed in the society and, moreover, the power to decide over the distribution of resources is unequally distributed. Therefore, structural violence which is grounded in gender inequalities, in discrimination and unequal chances to access resources is also a form of social injustice[3]. Structural violence that appears in the form of gender discrimination, exclusion of women from developmental processes, sectors and activities generating high economic values, with high rewards, or from social services crucial for achieving decent lives is considered as a very important form of violence.

Darren Moffatt 1.41
Well, hello and welcome to another episode of the nerds of business podcast. My name is Darren Moffatt, your host and this show is one of our episodes for the new season on the mindset of the disruptor. And I'm really thrilled to be joined this morning by a very exciting, entrepreneur from a new start up out of the UK, called so syncd, which is a dating app. And so for anyone out there in the world of dating, this will probably grab your attention. Jessica Alderson, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me. Well, it's great to have you with us. So, I think, dating is such a, it's a huge market, you know, I mean, well, I describe it as a market, but let's face it, it's a human activity before it's a market. It is a massive opportunity for entrepreneurs, and everyone knows the big names, you know, in this market Tinder and, Bumble and all the others. Uh, so, so syncd is a very new company. I think, I think you only really founded, last year during the pandemic, for those listeners hearing about you for the first time. What exactly do you, do you know, how are you different and who do you help?
Jessica Alderson 2.58
Yeah, so we are a dating app, based on personality types and specifically, so syncd is based on the Myers-Briggs personality test, which is yeah, one of the most widely used personality tests in the world. Um, and essentially we are for people who are looking for meaningful connections. So, you know, it's less, less about hook-ups and kind of short-term things and more about, I guess, you know, real deeper connections.
Yeah. Right. So, um, there's no sort of swiping left or right. Based on some sort of photo that may or may not be real. There's none of that. Yeah, exactly.
So no swiping on the app, like we wanted to encourage people to spend a little bit of time or like more time, you know, looking at people's profiles fully and reading, um, the answers to the questions that they put and things like that. And to just be a bit more thoughtful about it, really. So yeah, kind of a different setup.
Darren Moffatt 4:00
For those people who aren't familiar, maybe step us through this, the Myers-Briggs test I know about it, of course. And, um, you know, maybe we'll, we'll get to what personality type I am in a minute and maybe yourself as well. But I think our listeners would be very keen to understand that test and what it's about, where it's used and why is actually a really valid short is to have in a dating app like this.
Essentially, um, on our app, when you sign up, um, you take, it takes on average four minutes to do the personality test. It's 40 questions. So it's based on the Myers-Briggs test. It's not the Myers-Briggs test. Okay. Um, and essentially there are 16 different personality types and each personality type consists of four letters. So the first better you'll be either I or E introvert or extrovert. I think quite a lot of people know what that means. Um, the second letter you'll be either S or N, sensor versus intuitive senses and more, I guess like detail oriented and intuitive' s are more focused on the bigger picture. Then you are T versus F thinker versus feeler, thinkers make decisions more based on logic and feelers make decisions more based on people and values. And then the last letter is P versus J perceiver versus judger. Perceivers are a bit more kind of adaptable go with the flow, judges are more into kind of like structure, they like routine, They like to plan, that kind of thing. So, when you put all of these letters together, you get a personality type, say like INFJ, which we call so thoughtful on the app or ENTJ, which we call so ambitious. Um, and yeah, so that's the kind of summary of the, the personality, uh, test and the personality types and then yeah, why it works so well in dating I mean, there's just very strong correlations between, I guess, like which, which personality type combinations work better in relationships, and which, uh, I guess a less natural fit. And I mean, what was quite interesting is know when we first started out, we had a podcast as well called personality love lab.
We, at that point, we didn't have lots of success stories cause we don't, we just launch. So we were interviewing couples who hadn't met on the app just to delve deeper into the dynamics of personality, types and love. Most of them are really good personality matches or perfect personality matches. And, uh, someone messaged us and they were like, oh, why do you always into these really great personality matches? And we weren't being picky with the couples that we chose. We wanting to interview as wide a range as possible. We were like, well actually it's because the matching theory works and the, you know, the relationships that you see more and more frequently are the good personality matches, if that makes sense.
Yeah, no, it does. And I was actually, uh, on the app last night. I should point out that, uh, I wasn't doing this behind my partner's back. She was sitting right next to me and, and we were having a good look at it and, uh, she has a background in, in HR, so she, and she is well acquainted with the Myers-Briggs test. And, um, and so yes, we had to look at your classifications of those personality types and, and apparently I'm in ENTP what does that mean?
Ok, so you would be quite focused on ideas, like definitely an idea person. Um, is that, is that true for you?
Yes. I would say so. Yep.
Yeah, ENTP's tend to be focused on lots of ideas. So instead, you know, some people drill really deep into one thing. Um, the ENTP do, do that to some extent, but then they quite often jump to another thing and then another idea and, uh, they love exploring and they're also, uh, very logical. Um, they like to really, I guess, uh, they like to debate as well as that.
Well this is really incredible because I wouldn't say a champion high school debater but I was a noted, debater and public speaker. Um, and, and, um, I do have a tendency to, uh, go from one idea to the other. I try to reign that in, but look, that's actually uncanny. Out of interest Jess, are we allowed to sort of find out what your personality type is?
Yeah yea, of course. Yeah. So I'm an INFP personality type, we call it so unique on the app. Again, so I would use, uh, so the second level of, I guess the personality type theory is cognitive functions. Um, and so I would use one of the same cognitive functions as you just in the second position rather than the first position, but essentially what that means is, um, I'm also like focused on lots, lots of ideas. I have lots of different like hobbies and interests. And I guess one, one thing that ENTPs and INFP's are at risk of doing, uh, is like starting lots of projects and not necessarily finishing them. They definitely can get around that with some self discipline, but that's kind of, it's in their nature to like start things and with lots of enthusiasm and excitement. Um, but then, yeah, I guess one of the main differences is, um, I guess, like I'm a feeler rather than a thinker and I'm very focused on, I guess, like my personal values and doing things that are in line with them. Um, so yeah.
Wow. Okay. And one more quick thing on the Myers-Briggs test and how the app works as, as I understand it, this came from my partner last night and we were looking at it and she was saying, oh, yes. Well, when it's sort of based on Myers-Brigg, uh, testing, uh, the match is probably where there's a mix of commonalities and a mix of differences would be why the matching would work. Is it, is that right?
Yes, that is exactly right. We match couples who have just the right amount of similarities to form a strong connection and just the right amount of differences to create that spark because either extreme is not usually ideal, it can work like no personality type combination, you know, won't ever work. We never want to say that, but, um, you know, they might require a bit more work and an effort, but I mean, that, that then provides us good balance because if you date someone so different from yourself, then it can be hard to form a really good connection and have great conversations on a daily basis. But then if you date someone who's like the same personality type, for example, you really don't push each other out of your comfort zone and you don't really grow as people as much. So is that what you would say you and your partner are like a mixture of similarities.
Darren Moffatt 10.50
Oh, she definitely pushes me. Yes. There's no question there.
There's been a, there's been a lot of personal growth, um, uh, in our relationship, often I've resisted it, um, probably like in a lot of couples, but yeah, I think what, you know, what you're saying rings, it rings a lot of bells for me, as no doubt does to many of our listeners. And I guess, one more quick question on that the app is essentially a marketplace, right? So it's a marketplace of, uh, males and females, um, uh, but also different personality types. So another question that is quite interesting with regard to the Myers-Briggs test is do you find that you get more of a certain cohort on the app because of the nature of the personality type?
Jessica Alderson 11.30
No, that's, yeah, it's, it is an interesting question and a hundred percent. Absolutely. So, each letter you have a roughly kind of 50, 50 split in the population. So 50% introverts, 50% extroverts, except the second letter, which you tend to have 70% senses, s', and 30% intuitive, N's, but on the app, it's a completely different distribution. We have far, far more N's. And that is, I guess, like, you know, to some extent due to the definition of N's are focused on abstract theories, they love exploring kind of, yeah. I guess, uh, like abstract concepts and you know, the Myers-Briggs theory is that in itself. So they do tend to be, intuitive do tend to be quite drawn towards like personality type systems, like Myers-Briggs. Um, but yeah, we do, we have senses as well. So yeah, that's, I guess the main kind of difference that we've seen and then we do tend to have more introverts, um, rather than extroverts.
You have more introverts, rather than extroverts on the app, is that right?
That's really interesting. It's kind of counter counterintuitive. I would have thought have more extroverts, but why do you think there's more introverts on the app?
Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of dating apps are set up for extroverts, but ours is a bit different. It encourages like, I guess, slightly slower dating, um, which, you know, as an introvert, you might not necessarily want to talk to someone and meet up straight away. And there are lots of dating apps out there that encourage that it's like, oh, get off the app, like meet someone straight away. But actually we just encourage people to do things at their own pace. They want to meet up quickly. Great. If they want to take their time, then that's great as well. And, I think it's, yeah, that kind of, I guess, acceptance and, uh, like different pace is something that attracts introverts really.
Wonderful. Tell us about the background. I mean, you're, you've got a really interesting story. Like, how, how did you end up the founder of a dating app and like, did you, did you foresee that in your future? Um, and it's a fairly, um, uh, unique place to be. Yeah. So tell us, tell us the story that led to that.
Yeah, no, I definitely never ever imagined I would be the founder of a dating app. Yeah. So I used to work at an investment bank and I was working at the investment bank for years in London. And in the last two years, those four years I was dating someone who was Australian. And yeah, and so one day he was like, oh, do you want to move to Australia with me? And I was like, absolutely. That sounds amazing. Always loved Australia. And so we ended up moving to Sydney together. After a year, things didn't work out with the relationship and also I was leaving my job at the same time. So these two, I guess, like fairly big life events happened and I decided to take a year off to like basically backpack around the world. And I'd be interested in personality types for quite a long time by then, but like mostly applying it to, I guess, like, you know, understanding, work colleagues, understanding friends, family, but because of the breakup, I then started applying it to relationships and love and dating and then I had this year off as well, I could really, really delve into it and I imagine like quite a lot of entrepreneurs can be quite obsessive about a topic when I get into it, so really spent, you know, a lot of that year, like just understanding personality type compatibility in various ways. Like sometimes it'd be people that I met when I was traveling or like I'd stay with couples and my Airbnb's and things like that, kind of observe their relationships and then there's so much online, like so many forums and just kind of read and read and yeah, we understood it in all these different ways.
So at some point you must have, co-opted your sister Luella into this idea? So when did that happen?
Yeah, so I got back from the year of traveling, got back to London and I was having drinks with my sister and Lou, and she was saying how her friends and colleagues were just going on these terrible app dates and just wasting so much time essentially. And I was like, you know, just spent the past year, like essentially researching personality type compatibility. And we know there's a much better way to match people. Like instead of just taking a stab in the dark, right. or just like matching based on, you know, a photo or two, it seemed, seemed kind of crazy when you took a step back, and it was just like something it's just like a no-brainer we were just like, right. Let's do this well, to be fair. She was a bit sceptical at first. Like she didn't really know Myers-Briggs and in as much depth as I did. And then, you know, we applied the matching concept to her friends and people she knew and relationships and her own relationship as well. So she'd been in a long-term relationship with her perfect personality match without even knowing. so yeah, she took a bit of a convincing, but on that night we, you know, we just decided right. We're going to do it. and then the next day I literally went to her flat and we started working out how to build the app.
Wow And, um, know in the research for this show, I saw that you've recently raised, about a million dollars US, you've got, 60,000 users or so, you said the app has processed 3 million messages and you, uh, pretty sure that you've, um, created 500 loving couples already, and this is already in the space of one year. So those stats are very impressive.
It just seemed very counter-intuitive to us that like the vast majority of dating apps, you know, pretty much all of them are just based on, you know, people match based on one or two photos or, you know, there's sometimes an about me section or whatever, but there's not really any data, or kind of reason behind it other than looks. And I mean, obviously personality, compatibility plays a huge, huge role in if a relationship works out or not, or, or even if you have chemistry, you know, it doesn't even have to be like, you know, a long term relationship, but it, it plays a huge role in attraction and compatibility, I guess that's what it is. We just took a step back. Like this makes no sense, like this should be done differently.
Yeah. It's like, uh, like all the best news sort of products or innovations, it's, it's an obvious idea in hindsight, you know, when I, I saw this, I was like, oh, um, surely that's been done before, but it actually hasn't been done like this before. And of course, a lot of dating agencies in the past and the analog world, so to speak, you know, before platforms really started dominating this space would take surveys of the respective members and try and match them up based on interests and so on. So it's kind of being done, but it never been done like this and at scale through an app. And so my take on it and feel free to shoot me down on this, but I would almost describe this as, as, um, dating for data nerds, people who, who are more logical, uh, and, and also you're tapping that hidden market of dissatisfied Tinder users.
You know, there's I've got friends who, uh, use this app or that app, um, uh, quite a lot or views it quite a lot over the years. And, and it's just very often a sort of a real sort of nagging dissatisfaction with it. Like sure, you can meet people hook up and have some fun or whatever, but it's like, oh, well that one, another one didn't last very long or whatever the case may be. So is that what you, did you clock that, did you think, oh, they're just big sort of latent market opportunity to hear that. I think we can really get in getting in there and get some of that.
Yeah. Yes. exactly. It's interesting that the markets that you said are the markets that, you know, we kind of created a bit of a, I guess, a business plan to some extent just before we launched and we have those markets kind of mapped out. So yeah, as mentioned, you know, there's a market for people who are just fed up with the dating apps that existed already. Um, and then, yeah, exactly. Then another market is people who want to be a bit more efficient and logical. They don't want to just take a stab in the dark. They don't want to completely leave, you know, a good date or potentially love to chance they want something a bit more methodical. And then there's this other market as well, which is quite interesting and that's the kind of market where I guess, you know, people have, have struggled to find someone like maybe, you know, they very, very rarely meet someone who they really click with. Um, and, this market tend to feel like a little bit misunderstood and they, you know, they tend to be, I guess, like to some extent, a little bit quirky, like in a good way and yeah, you know, they just have really, haven't had, I guess there's a bit of crossover with the first market there, but they just haven't really had much luck on the dating apps that existed.
Maybe you'd like to share with us what your plans are for market share market share, like if say fast forward five years, um, the app continues to grow, uh, at an exponential rate. I mean, how much market share do you think you might be able to take off Tinder or some of these big names?
I mean, it's, the market question is really interesting because I guess there's two aspects. We've actually found that a lot of people that join the app are new to dating apps, which is quite unique in itself. And actually, you know, your average person has, I think it's like four dating apps, depending on which data source you look at on their phones. So, you know, most people aren't on just one dating app, but I guess it's one of the most pressing things that we didn't necessarily foresee happening is that we're kind of opening up a new market. So like we had a couple get in touch the other day and they were like, oh, um, neither of us had ever used a dating app before. Like we really just didn't like the sound of the ones that, that we knew about. And then we found so syncd and we both were really into Myers Briggs, and then we matched. I think it was within a few weeks. It was fairly quickly. Um, and now they're, they're in like, you know, they have an eight hour first date and yeah, it seems, sounds like it's going really well.
An 8-hour first date, gee some marriages don't last that long. that's, um, that's a marathon.
Yeah. We've had, yeah, lots of couples move countries to be together actually, which is also quite interesting. And I think not, not that many dating apps, um, kind of have that in the same way that we do at least. so yeah, I think it's hard to say in terms of market share, because it is that kind of blurred line between taking market share and actually opening a new market. And I think it, I guess it's kind of yet to be seen how exactly that plays out.
And, um, so yeah, to the idea of disruption, um, just to sort of riff on that a little more. I mean, I think if I can be so bold to put some words in your mouth, I mean, I think what you're saying there is that you're, yes, you're creating this new market. You're getting these new users that have never used an app like this before. So in that sense, you could say that, um, you know, you're also disrupting that sort of, uh, that traditional sort of organic, uh, dating mechanism of just people meeting, you know, sort of normally, or, you know, uh, through non platform interactions. Um, so that's one observation I would make, but further to that, like what, what do you think are the key forces in your app, in the design of your product that, uh, are so disruptive and, and, and, and really so key to your success thus far?
So I mean, I guess it is that USP ready. And so I guess we've talked about the matching algorithm, right. And how we match, you know?
That's nerdy.
Now Jess. That is nerdy. Okay. So you've awakened the nerd bot. We have a nerd bot on the show and whenever there's something super nerdy, you know, she Springs to life, uh, now I know what USP is, but, um, uh, you know, some people won't, so you might just want to sort of unpack that and explain that yet.
Yes sure. So, I guess essentially the way we match people, we started off with this theory right, which I'd essentially developed from my year traveling. Um, but now we have the stages that, which is, you know, over 650 couples. unlike other apps, we can actually then refine the matching algorithm, and kind of see which what's working and what's not. and it's, it was cool actually, one of my friends, uh, like walked past someone cause it yesterday. And, um, they were talking about our matching algorithm, like just these random people, like at a pub. And I was like, that's crazy. yeah, there's, there's that, And I think, yeah, that, that kind of attracts that, you know, one of those audiences that we talked about, like slightly geeky kind of like logical, logical people. Um, so that's an attraction in itself. And then I guess the other point, I would say there is like having the personality test, is it's interesting in itself because it then just naturally the people in the app, even if you didn't have the matching algorithm would just be more likely to be on the same wavelength. Right. They are looking for something more than a hook-up. you know, they've taken the time to take a personality test, or they're signed up to now that is based on personality. So then just innately, they are more likely to, yeah.
Yeah, so it's sort of that, like attracts like thing it's a different cohort, it's arguably less superficial, more, um, more thoughtful, deeper kind of people who are, uh, happy to do sort of, um, more cerebral dare I say it.
Yeah cerebral, exactly. And introspective as well I'd say.
Hmm. Fantastic.

Die Lorbeerrosen (Kalmia) bilden eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Heidekrautgewächse (Ericaceae). Sie sind hauptsächlich in Nordamerika verbreitet.

Beschreibung

Vegetative Merkmale
Kalmia-Arten wachsen meist als meist immergrüne Sträucher, nur Kalmia latifolia selten als Baum. Die Äste sind meist aufrecht, aber die verzweigte Kalmia procumbens bildet Matten. Die Rinde der Zweige ist kahl bis flaumig oder drüsig behaart. Die meisten Arten sind immergrün, aber Kalmia cuneata ist laubabwerfend. Die wechsel-, gegenständig oder zu dritt in Wirteln an den Zweigen angeordneten Laubblätter sind in Blattstiel und -spreite gegliedert. Die einfache, teils fein behaarte oder drüsige Blattspreite besitzt einen ganzen Rand.

Als Zierpflanzen in Parks und Gärten werden Lorbeerrosen in den gemäßigten Breiten in der Regel nur rund 1 Meter hoch.

Generative Merkmale
Die Blüten stehen manchmal einzeln oder meist zwei bis 40 in achsel- oder endständigen, schirmrispigen, -traubigen, traubigen, doldigen, ährigen oder büscheligen Blütenständen. Die zwittrigen Blüten sind radiärsymmetrisch und fünfzählig mit doppelter Blütenhülle (Perianth). Die selten vier, meist fünf grünen bis rötlichen, meist haltbaren Kelchblätter sind verwachsen. Die fünf Kronblätter, mit innen oft Taschen für die Antheren, sind fast völlig napf- bis glockenförmig verwachsen bis frei. Es sind meist zwei (bei Kalmia procumbens nur einer) Kreise mit je fünf, meist "vorgespannten" Staubblättern vorhanden, sie überragen die Blütenkrone nicht. Die Staubfäden sind meist an ihrer Basis behaart. Die Staubbeutel sind meist purpurfarben. Die meist kahlen, selten drüsigen, oberständigen Fruchtknoten sind selten zwei bis meist fünfkammerig. Der gerade oder gebogene Griffel überragt die Blütenkrone nicht und endet in einer kopfigen oder selten fünflappigen Narbe. Es ist ein Diskus vorhanden.

Die meist fünfklappigen Kapselfrüchte sind mehr oder weniger kugelig und enthalten etwa 100 bis über 150 Samen. Die länglichen, eiförmigen oder verkehrt-eiförmigen Samen sind oft geflügelt oder geschwänzt mit einer netzartigen Samenschale (Testa).

Die Chromosomengrundzahl beträgt x = 12.

Giftstoffe
Beide Hauptarten enthalten in ihren Blättern Acetylandromedol, das Reizungen der Mundschleimhäute, allergische Reaktionen, Übelkeit, Desorientierung, Schweißausbrüche sowie Magen- und Darmbeschwerden mit Durchfall bewirkt. In starken Vergiftungsfällen verlangsamt sich der Herzschlag und durch Atemlähmung kann es zum Tod kommen. Auf diese toxische Nebenwirkung des Strauches deuten auch Namen wie englisch "Lambkill" ("Lammmörder") oder deutsch Schaf-Lorbeerrose hin.

Systematik und Verbreitung
Von den heute etwa zehn Arten sind acht in Nordamerika beheimatet. Zwei Arten kommen in Eurasien vor. Eine Art gibt es auf Kuba. Kalmia-Arten findet man gewöhnlich an Berghängen und in Bergwäldern.

Die Erstveröffentlichung der Gattung Kalmia erfolgte 1753 durch Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum, 1, S. 391. Mit dem botanischen Gattungsnamen Kalmia ehrte Carl von Linné seinen Schüler Pehr Kalm, einen schwedischen Botaniker, der Pflanzensammler im östlichen Nordamerika war und die ersten Kalmia-Exemplare an Carl von Linné sandte. Die Gattung Kalmia gehört zur Tribus Phyllodoceae in der Unterfamilie Ericoideae in der Familie Ericaceae. Synonyme für Kalmia  sind: Dendrium , Kalmiella , Leiophyllum , Ledum  sect. Leiophyllum  und seit Kurzem auch Loiseleuria .

Die Gattung Kalmia enthält heute etwa neun Arten:
 Schmalblättrige Lorbeerrose (Kalmia angustifolia , Syn.: Kalmia carolina , Kalmia intermedia ): Mit zwei Varietäten im östlichen Nordamerika; in Mitteleuropa stellenweise verwildert. Sie hat lanzettähnliche ovale Blätter, die denen des Lorbeers ähneln, und blüht von Mai bis Juni mit rosa bzw. purpurfarbenen Blüten.
 Sandmyrte (Kalmia buxifolia , Syn.: Ledum buxifolium , Dendrium hugeri , Leiophyllum buxifolium , L. hugeri , L. prostratum , L. serpyllifolium ): Sie ist in Nordamerika beheimatet.
 Kalmia cuneata : Sie gedeiht in Höhenlagen zwischen 20 und 200 Metern in North Carolina und South Carolina.
 Kubanische Lorbeerrose (Kalmia ericoides ): Sie gedeiht in Savannen und Kiefernheiden nur im westlichen Kuba.
 Kalmia hirsuta : Sie gedeiht in Höhenlagen zwischen 0 und 100 Metern in offenen sandigen Savannen, sandigen Hügeln und Pine Barrens in Alabama, Florida, Georgia und South Carolina.
 Breitblättrige Lorbeerrose oder Berglorbeer (Kalmia latifolia ): Sie gedeiht in Höhenlagen zwischen 0 und 1900 Meter weitverbreitet in Nordamerika. Sie besitzt weiß-rosafarbene Blüten und kann Ausmaße von drei bis neun Metern erreichen. Der Berglorbeer ist die Staatsblume der US-Bundesstaaten Connecticut und Pennsylvania. In den USA nennt man den Berglorbeer auch Ivybush, Calico Bush, Sheep Laurel, Lambkill, Clamoun, Spurwood, also "Sporenholz", weil die Indianer einst ihre Sporen daraus fertigten.
 Kalmia microphylla  (Syn.: Kalmia occidentalis ): Mit zwei Varietäten im nördlichen und westlichen Nordamerika.
 Gams-, Gems- oder Gämsheide, auch Alpenazalee, Alpenheide, Hirschheiderich oder Felsenröschen (Kalmia procumbens , Syn.: Azalea procumbens , Chamaecistus procumbens , Loiseleuria procumbens ): Sie hat eine weite Verbreitung in Nordamerika und Eurasien.
 Poleiblättrige Lorbeerrose (Kalmia polifolia , Syn.: Kalmia glauca ): Sie gedeiht in Höhenlagen zwischen 0 und 800 Meter weitverbreitet in Nordamerika.

Ahersa
Harmless Living
PEACE Book
There really is magic in thinking big. We started Ahersa to change the world, and we'll begin with the people most likely to make the biggest impact:
If we can all work together to raise kids who are loved, educated, and compassionate, we'll be able to save the world. It's on us as adults to equip kids with the tools they need to end the animal industry, reduce climate change, reduce violence, and create the utopia we all know Earth can be.
Ahersa advocates for the lifestyle of harmless living, which extends from the food we eat to how we interact with other people.
If you're like us, you desperately want to help make the world a better a place, but it's so daunting you don't know where to start. Start with your kids. Start with your nieces, nephews, students, and family members.
Kids are born with compassion; They don't know prejudice or racism until it's taught. Adults in their lives need to work hard to keep that beautiful perspective alive. Do that and you're actively contributing to a world of less harm and more love.
Follow Ahersa and you'll be part of a group of people building a better world. Shop Ahersa and find one-of-a-kind books for raising compassionate kids. Our children's book, PEACE, is out now and mini-manuals for parents and teachers are coming soon.
There's even a new line of bottled coffee drinks to keep you fueled along the way.
Dream big, join us, and let's help save the world.
In addition, we will work to:
Create and sell beautiful clothing without harming life. Ahersa shirts, our first product, are fair-trade and printed with hand-drawn designs. Tell the people in your world that you're an Ahersa guy or girl! The first five shirts are limited edition and won't last long.
Continue to build Ahersa Press and publish children's books and novels that inspire change and make readers question why they do what they do.
Create a line of vegan food and beverages that satisfy the most indulgent cravings, from lattes to ranch dressing.
Start Ahersa Kids and create a line of cruelty-free products that help teach children the value of loving all creatures. We'll even help up-cycle products into toys to reduce waste.
Advocate for Ahersa-Approved curriculum for schools and certify schools that offer a humane-based global perspectives curriculum.
Work toward changing food labels to be labeled as containing animal products if there are any traces of meat, dairy, eggs, or insects.
Lobby for a required "Tested on Animals" label on non-food products, such as cosmetics, that aren't cruelty free.
Buy a makeup company and offer inexpensive cruelty-free products.
Create child care centers with Ahersa-powered curriculum.
Contribute to a clean, sustainable, cruelty free planet where every being is valued and loved.
Like our Facebook page and follow us on Instagram (@loveahersa) and become part of the revolution that will change the world by raising educated children, putting the brakes on the animal industry, and inspiring love for all living beings.
Sign up for our newsletter to remain updated on all of Ahersa's efforts, and how you can continue to help.

Joe Rogan gives his 2 cents on fixing MMA Judging
Image Courtesy: Michael S. Schwartz/James Gilbert-Getty Images
UFC commentator Joe Rogan has opined on the changes needed to fix mixed martial arts judging, with an emphasis on awarding a fighter delivering damage when its worth more than the control its countered with.
Joe Rogan says points should be given to a fighter inflicting damage worth more than control
Hosting the reigning UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling on his famed podcast, Rogan brought up the idea of fixing the errors in MMA judging, in the wake of a number of questionable scorecards in recent times that have raised eyebrows. One of the recent controversial scorecards had been Sterling's UFC 273 outing against Petr Yan, in which the champion claimed that it was unfair for him to not get a single 10-8 round scoring.
The commentator's idea of fixing the errors in judging is to reward the fighter doing more damage, especially when the damage dealt was worth more than the other fighter having control, which is strikingly similar to what the current ruling in the sport dictates.
"Maybe there's a way to score it like you would give points for moments in fights where someone either did damage or someone had control, but control was not worth as much as damage," said Rogan, "Because you can survive control unscathed. Just because someone has you down maybe in half-guard, and you're just clinching and controlling, you can survive that for a couple minutes sometimes, and nothing happens."
"Even though the person's in control of you, it's not that big of a deal. But then damage: How much more is damage worth? Like if you see the person gets wobbled or you see like a big, impactful kick, you're like, 'Wow, that was a significant moment in the fight. So that would be worth more,'" he added. [H/T MMA Junkie]
