Rapzilla Freshmen seni.: Is He the Next Big Face of Christian Rap?
Today's Rapzilla Freshmen interview brings us to seni. aka smoovy. This young Polynesian rapper, producer, and singer had quite a 2019. Some felt he was worthy of the Freshmen nod last year, but we thought his 2019 would cement him – it did. One of his biggest moments was appearing on the 116 Summer Playlist track "Switches" with Joey Vantes and Jon Keith.
Now, the humble and quiet artist spoke to Rapzilla about what's going on.
What are your thoughts about being a Rapzilla freshman this year?
Man, it's crazy. In high school, I remember going to Rapzilla. I think it was sophomore or junior year – I wasn't an artist I was just a fan and I was going on Rapzilla to discover new artists. I remember discovering nobigdyl. on there, Ty Brasel…and to think of where I am now. To be a freshman, to be part of what they were part of is crazy. I've had to deal with people saying a lot of things. Like last year people saying, "Oh you should've been on that last year." Just crazy that this was the year that…I made it!
There's a lot of inspiring artists in the culture right now. I remember last year when I interviewed Panda Cafe, and all of those guys shared the impact that you had on them. Can you think of anyone who has impacted you?
Yeah I mean, first there's always Lecrae. I grew up as a pastor's kid so I didn't listen to much music. But when we found Lecrae it changed things for us. Immediately thought "This is dope." His music was just really good but not only that but it was Christ-centered, so for me from the time I was a young kid he's a huge part of this whole thing.
Very early the CHH movement for me was Reach, but right now it's RG. I love what he's doing, for music and for his culture. I love what he's doing for the Latino culture and the Hispanic culture. It's amazing. I hope to do that for my culture and my people. I'm Polynesian and it's a big part of who I am. We're not represented too well in hip-hop. We're a small minority in America and in the world. I just know I can be the representation. I just wanna let young Polynesian kids know that it's okay to make clean music. Most Polynesian music is secular. You can still make dope music without compromising your values. I wanna do something different that can inspire the next generation.
Recently I heard you on Thomas Iannucci's album. What was it like working with him?
We just seem to have this connection that only islanders can have. I think I met him like a year or two ago. We're in a group chat so I remember when he was working on that album I told him I could make a hook for that. It was perfect because he wanted to reach the locals in Hawaii. It's a concept that isn't talked about much. I was glad to be a part of that. It was an important thing for the culture.
Share a little bit of where you are now in your artistry and give us a glimpse of where you've come from.
Right now I'm finishing up on a lot of music. Working on visuals as well. Still figuring out how I want to drop it. Maybe a couple of projects this year. Last year was me trying to find and figure out my sound, so this year will be letting others hear it.
I was a hip-hop fan for a long time. I grew up singing in church. Hip-hop didn't really catch on until my sophomore or junior year of high school. I started making beats on Garageband, and it became something that I liked. I remember when I recorded my first feature, which was really bad, but that was the first time I recorded. In the first couple of years of becoming an artist, 2017-2018, I was doing features for free to get some practice in and work on my craft. But after a while now it seems like my features are better than some of my own songs.
So where did it shift for you? What encouragement could you give to the fan who is reading this today? Put yourself in your younger self's shoes and give young seni. some wisdom.
Find yourself a group of friends who are also like-minded creatives. Build with them. Share your music with them. You need a support group that will help you grow as an artist. Who will help and be real with you. Then once the music is where you want it to be, stop listening to other people's thoughts. Once it's at the quality you like, you don't always have to listen to others. If you truly believe God has called you to do music, eventually don't care what other people say. When you're surrounded by a team you trust it helps you create the best art that you can make.

Vic Sage on His Creative Process; Hints at New Record


I am extremely picky about my eye creams. I get dark under eye circles very easily for a various amount of reasons - lack of sleep, being up late, stressed out, looking at a computer for long periods of time, etc. I decided to try the GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream by ORIGINS (retails $30.00).
The eye cream claims to give a brighter appearance, reduction in puffiness, and to instantly reduce dark circles. The eye cream is for AM use by just dabbing around the eye area with your fingertip.
So what did I think? I love the fact that the product uses organic ingredients and natural essential oils. The cream feels smooth and is not greasy. You only need to dab on just a bit under your eyes. A little goes a long way! I thought that the eye cream does a good job in reducing puffiness and hydrating my eye area, however it did nothing for my dark under eye circles. The cream also has a shimmery tone which I also liked.


If there's one man who can get away with launching a $790 dopp kit, it's Tom Ford. Simple and luxe, the bag is made from gorgeous grained leather. I couldn't for the life of me justify the price, but if you've got the disposable income…I'm jealous. I'd buy one in every color! Each of the cases has a washable liner should you get makeup on it, so they have function to match their good looks. If nearly four digits is too steep a price for you, the designer has launched a number of covetable beauty buys as well.
First up, the Lash Tips Mascara ($44), which comes in two colors: Pure Cobalt and Burnished Gold. As the name suggests, use the mascara on the tips of your lashes for a color pop. Gold was such a huge beauty trend this season; I love that this product offers a subtle and totally wearable way to get the look. It will be gorgeous with our skin once we all get a little sun.
Black Out ($35) is the designer's new polish, and it isn't exactly what you think of for spring but it's right up my alley. If I'm not sporting pink or red, I love an almost-black shade for its wearability. This one is a dark gray/black with fine silver shimmer. Again, not what you'd expect for the season, but a versatile color that matches pretty much everything (especially if you live in NYC!).
Also worthy of a shoutout is the Waterproof Extreme Mascara ($45)…the wand is amazing! It's the longest one I've seen, so it coats all of your lashes. It also goes on clump-free, and you shouldn't need a primer.

Game 96: Reds 8, Astros 3
Reds 1 0 2 0 0 0 2 3 0 8 17 0
Astros 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 1 11 2
W: Latos (8-3) L: Rodriguez (7-9)
Used to be that the name "Wandy Rodriguez" struck fear into the hearts of Reds everywhere, but lately his starts have been just another game against the worst team around. It was true last night, when the Reds beat the Astros 8-3.
It wasn't for lack of hits from the Astros, though. In Mat Latos's 5.0 inning start, he gave up 8 hits and 2 walks, resulting in 2 runs (earned). It took him 95 pitches to get through that many innings, so he probably was on his way out even if he hadn't rolled his ankle partway through the fifth.
Jose Arredondo took over in the sixth and was the only pitcher for the Reds who didn't give up a hit. Bill Bray gave up one in his 0.1 innings of work. Sam LeCure gave up one, plus two walks and a run in his 1.0 innings. Sean Marshall gave up one in the remaining 1.2.
Lucky for all of them, the Reds were putting up even more hits, and stringing them together for runs as well. Brandon Phillips, Ryan Ludwick, and Todd Frazier each went 3-for-6 on the night, and Chris Heisey went 2-for-4. Drew Stubbs went 2-for-6, which is pretty good…it just doesn't look as impressive compared to the others. Even LeCure got on when he was hit by a pitch in the eighth inning.
It was exactly the sort of game you'd expect to see between a rising, first-place team and a bedraggled, last-place team. It was sort of hard to watch, though, both because I felt for the Astros and their fans and also because I remember so vividly what it was like watching games like that when my team was rebuilding.
The win brings the Reds' record to 56-40. The Pirates lost last night, so the Reds' lead in the division is extended to 1.5 games. The Cardinals lost last night, too, and are now 6.0 games back. The Reds continue the crusade against the Astros tonight at 8:05 p.m. Mike Leake (RHP, 3-6, 4.25 ERA) goes head-to-head with Lucas Harrell (RHP, 7-7, 4.24 ERA).

No Christmas on Christmas Island
Opinion » Columnists
Tragedy on Christmas Island, Australia, in the Indian Ocean where at least twenty-seven bodies have been recovered from the water, including babies, children and women as a small vessel carrying refugees smashed into the rocks in a storm. As the world celebrates this festive season, let us spare a thought for those so desperate that they risk their lives looking for a better future.
No Christmas for those involved in this tragedy. At least 27 bodies have been plucked from the water, according to the Australian Customs service, while a further 41 were rescued and one person managed to reach the shore. The vessel was carrying immigrants, believed to be mainly from Iran and Iraq, who were trying to reach Christmas Island, the Australian detention centre for asylum seekers.
The engine of the vessel stopped and the waves pushed it against the rocks, when according to eyewitnesses all the people on board rushed to the land side and it tipped over, rolled onto the rocks by a massive wave.
At the end of 2008, there were 26 million internally displaced persons, 15,2 million refugees and almost one million asylum seekers in the world plus a further 25 million people displaced due to natural disasters. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees claims that in any given year, the number of refugees receiving resettlement does not usually surpass one per cent.
The fact is that the vast majority of these people live in developing countries, many of which were ransacked by European powers for centuries, while siphoning off their resources, creating internal divisions which defied history, defied logic and defied all ethnic and cultural realities on the ground.
Countries were created in the mirror-image of western societies by drawing lines on maps, respecting European type frontiers such as rivers, whereas in Africa for instance, the same people tended to settle on both banks of the same river, or around a lake. Today's tensions in Nigeria and Sudan are wholly the result of bad colonial policies, in which power was given to those who had not traditionally and historically wielded a position of authority, creating a social fabric held together by fear and the precept "Divide and rule".
These policies were imposed in a top-down attitude with little or no respect for the societies which they were destroying by dividing them. The onus for implementing a system of development, and not just deployment, lies fairly and squarely at the feet of those countries which grew rich on the resources they stole from the countries whose populations today face the challenges which have created so many refugees and displaced persons.
True, the blame does not only lie with the ex-colonial powers, for corruption and ethnic strife played their part. But would such strife have occurred if the social balances had not been disturbed, and where are the corrupted without a corruptor?
For these millions of desperate people, there is never a Christmas. As we approach another festive season, let us remember that by supporting institutions which help local agencies to develop (such as NEPAD in Africa), we are creating the skills and the means these countries need to develop by themselves. It is time we started as an international community.

Today is our daughter Melissa's Birthday and as I do each year, I try and give a glimpse into who she was is for those interested.
Today Fran, Brian and I are thrilled to share with you the launch of Melissa's Wish, a not for profit conceived and inspired by Melissa in the final days of her life.
Melissa asked that if we did anything in her name, could we help the caregivers of those afflicted with a catastrophic illness. Melissa was keenly aware of the struggles of those caring for their loved ones and at the same time trying to keep all the other challenges of their lives in check. It was important to Melissa that our loved ones, in the final stages of their lives, are treated with respect and dignity and the caregivers need help to do that.
Please visit melissaswish.com to see her story and find out more about her foundation.
I'm also thrilled to announce the support of Dee Snider, Twisted Sister front man, reality TV star, author, Broadway star and philanthropist. This is the 15th year of his annual motorcycle ride and he is dedicating all proceeds to Melissa's Wish.
To pre-register for Dee's Ride, come on as a sponsor or make a donation please visit deesnidersride.com.
Fran, Brian and I want to thank all the friends and volunteers who have helped us make this a reality. Your selfless efforts are instrumental in getting Melissa's Wish off the ground. Your belief in Melissa's Wish and trust in us are heartwarming. We will post more about this dedicated team on Melissa's website as we go on.
If guided please make a donation in the name of someone dear to you or perhaps in the spirit and intent of Melissa. We would also like to hear your comments about the foundation and its mission. We plan to host multiple fundraising events in the next year, with a goal of helping as many caregivers as we can.
I thank Melissa for having the wisdom and foresight to conceive this and for her continuing inspiration and guidance and I thank you for taking the time to read this. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA!

Profiles of Creation Scientists
Not Just a Pretty Picture
Interview of Photographer Robert Jensen
by Mike Matthews on March 1, 2004
Originally published in Creation 26, no 2 (March 2004): 16-20.
Robert Jensen is one of these rare photographers whose child-like wonder at God's world has never left him.
Robert Jensen is one of these rare photographers whose child-like wonder at God's world has never left him. His astonishment at God's creatures, great and small, keeps his camera lens shuttering.
No matter where a Christian looks, at the heavens or under leaves, he can find evidence of God's handiwork. Bob's particular passion is for the miniature world of creepy-crawlies, and his handiwork often graces the pages of Creation magazine, including the beautiful leopard gecko on the December 2003 cover.
What drives a fifty-year-old man to travel hundreds of miles through blazing sun and beating rain just to snap another shot of a rhinoceros beetle or a desert centipede? Well, we decided to ask him. Therein lies a story.
An amateur?
Robert (Bob) first became interested in photography at age 15, when his grandmother in Japan handed him his first camera.
An entomologist by training (one who studies insects and scorpions), he discovered after getting his master's degree that no jobs were available in his field, except in the government. So he started working at the Boeing Company, recently celebrating his 24th year there.
Though Bob did not study photography in school, his images are highly prized by big-name publishers, including Popular Photography, Kids Discover magazine, McGraw-Hill Science, Scholastic Inc., World Wildlife Fund and Time-Life Books.
Always on the lookout
As a whole, Bob says he most enjoys his collection of praying mantid images. Whether local or exotic, they're all fascinating and fun to photograph, he says.
Bob is always on the lookout for new shots. He especially loves insects and arachnids (e.g. spiders). Capturing insects may not be the same challenge as capturing a lion, but Bob loves it. The hard part, he says, is having the patience to photograph insects that don't want to sit still!
Can pictures lie?
As an experienced photographer, Bob likes to remind viewers that pictures do not tell the whole story. Film can't necessarily capture what the eye can see, he explains. For example, if he photographs a gorilla on a sunny day, its eyes will appear too dark on film, due to its large brow ridges. So Bob must retouch such images on the computer to bring back what his eyes actually saw.
A lover of nature and nature's Creator
Nature has always been Bob's main interest in photography. Whether viewing animals in the local zoo or the "wild", watching a cloudburst in the desert, or seeing a beautiful rainbow after a storm, Bob is always looking to capture God's creation on film.
Asked about his favourite picture, Bob says it's difficult to narrow down: "I have several, and each of them has a story." Some of these favourite images appear on these pages.
To explain the chief aim of his photography, Bob likes to point to the example of the great composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), who once said that the chief goal of his music was to bring glory to God. After all, Bob says, "God is the One who originally created everything that I capture on film!"
One of Bob's all-time favourite photos is this trio of tiger swallowtail butterflies on a large sunflower.
Though he is very humble about his photography, Bob has won several awards, including:
Grand Prize in the Kodak/Popular Photography Annual Medium Format contest
First and Second Place in the Popular Photography Annual Photo contest for animals and digital imaging
Best of Show in Contemporary at the Photographic Society of America's Annual Slide competition
Grand Prize in BetterPhoto.com (USA) and Photography-Unlimited.jp (Japan).
In fact, Bob's favourite book of the Bible is Genesis, because we find out there how powerful God is: "He created everything by just speaking it into existence. He didn't have to experiment by trial-and-error, as theistic evolution suggests. He just spoke and everything was good."
When Bob's daughter was only six, he showed her one of his brilliant blue morpho butterflies. She asked him where it came from, and he told her that God created the original kind. "I'll never forget her response", Bob recalls. "She said, 'He couldn't have made it any better!' Today's scientists would do well to listen to her."
Over the years, Bob has seen some powerful evidences given for creation and against evolution. Examples at the top of his list include the complete lack of evidence for evolution of structural complexity in genetic information. And also, the discovery that geological processes, such as mineralization and fossilization, can occur very quickly and do not require millions of years.
Yet Bob has learned that the things we see are not the main evidence for the Creator: "I must say that no matter what human evidence we find, the main reason I believe in a divine act of creation is what God states in His Word. The people for whom the book of Genesis was originally written would never have understood anything other than a literal creation in six days. When God commanded His people to work six days and rest on the seventh, because He had created everything in six days, His people would not have started a debate to determine what a day meant. They knew it was six 24-hour periods."
Why is creation so important today?
Another of Bob's favourite photos is a snowy egret and a waterfall photographed in Japan. He achieved the silky effect of the waterfall with a 1½ second exposure. The image appeared only for an instant, until some people walked by and scared the bird away.
Bob is very passionate about defending Genesis and the correct history of the world. He says, "The Bible tells us that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge ( Proverbs 1:7; 9:10 ). Without belief in a Creator, you eventually end up with a world that operates on foolish ideas and philosophies that are devoid of real wisdom. People today use evolution as an excuse to ignore the Creator. If there is no Creator, then we cannot be held accountable or responsible for our actions. We can do and say whatever we please."
Advice for budding photographers
Bob's advice for young people interested in pursuing photography: "Be patient, do it to God's glory, and find a good instructor or photographic judge. I never took any classes, but one thing that helped me tremendously was having an international photo judge critique my work for me. Sometimes it was painful, but it was a great learning experience, despite the fact that judging images is very subjective. Another thing that helped was studying images in various nature photography books and magazines."

Shaw Solar uses three basic criteria to recommend a system size: your annual power consumption, which can be obtained from LPEA or a recent utility bill; your available roof space; and ultimately your available budget.Where you live, how you live, and how you heat your water and house will also dictate the size of your system and its total cost.
For reference, a 5 kW (5,000 Watt) system meets the needs of the average home, which is approximately 15 solar panels.
We do. All of it. And since we've partnered with several solar loan providers, we assist with the loan acquisition process as well.
How long will it take to reach payback?
In terms of rebates and incentives, there has never been a better time to go solar. Each system will have a different payback period, as ROI depends on a number of variables but typically, residential systems have a payback period of approximately 8 years depending on location and size. Commercial systems usually have a payback period of 4 to 7 years.
Since there are few moving parts, the solar systems are basically maintenance free. However, to improve output, it is always better if they are kept clean.
Solar panels (or PV modules as we say in the biz) last a long, long time. The modules we install come with a 25-year power warranty! No bad considering the payback period on the system is roughly only 8 years. Plus, most solar systems have monitoring synced to it which allows you to track the health and performance of your system over time. In the end, we don't know how long the panels will last, as the oldest terrestrial modules are over 45-years old and still going strong.
Can a homeowner sell power back to their utility?
Yes, through LPEA's net metering agreements, any excess electricity generated will spin your meter backwards, which has the effect of selling your excess power to the utility for use at a later time. In short – if you use more power than your solar array produces, you will be buying power from LPEA. If your array produces more than you use, LPEA will buy your excess power.
Immediately after a snow storm, when your solar panels are covered, they won't produce power. But because snow slides easily off solar panels and they are installed where there's the most sun, the snow that covers your panels will melt first. This means that your solar panels will be exposed to light again relatively quickly, allowing them to produce electricity. The reflection off the white snow surrounding the panels may even increase how much power your system produces via the albedo effect. Here in Southwest Colorado, we engineer all our systems to support the snow loads expected in their given application.
Yes. According to real estate appraisers, for every $1 of electricity that you offset through solar, it will increase the value of your home by $20. This means that your home would increase in value by about the total net cost of the system after rebates. As an example, a 4 kW system will offset about $805 of electricity costs in a year based on LPEA's rate in the City of Durango of $0.141/kWh. Using the "each $1 saved in electricity costs increases a homes value by $20" guideline, then we could be looking at a home's value increase of around $16,100. Studies also show that homes with solar panel systems have property values 3-4% above similar homes in the same area. They also sell twice as fast as the competition. In addition, this increase in value is exempt from property tax.

Ivan Samojlovitj (, ,  født i 1630'erne, død i 1690) var fra 1672 til 1687 hétman i Ukraine i den del, der ligger på venstresiden af floden Dnepr (det nuværende østlige Ukraine). Hans regeringstid var præget af det kosakkiske hetmanats tilnærmelser til Zar-Rusland og hans forsøg på at erobre det dele af hetmanatet, der lå på højresiden af Dnepr (det vestlige Ukraine) fra Den polsk-litauiske realunion.

Opstigen til hétman
Som ung støttede han Ivan Brukhovetskijs oprør mod Zar-Rusland, men efter Brukhovetskijs tilfangetagelse og senere henrettelse, støttede han den pro-russiske hétman Demian Mnogogrisjnijog afgav troskabsed til den russiske zar. Han blev valgt til hétman for kosakhetmanatets venstre bred i juni 1672. Samme år havde hétman Petro Dorosjenko gennem en alliance med den osmanniske sultan overladt kossakhetmanatets højrebred (det vestlige Ukraine) til osmannerne under Den polsk-osmanniske krig (1672-1676).

Hétman for hele Ukraine
I 1674 blev Samojlovitj valgt til hétman for hele Ukraine deltog og iværksatte med støtte fra russiske tropper en ekspedition ind i hetmanatets højre bred (det vestlige Ukraine) med det formål at tvinge hétman Petro Dorosjenko til at acceptere valget af Samojlovitj. Ekspeditionen blev dog slået tilbage af osmanniske tropper. Russiske tropper og Samojlovitj belejrede igen i 1676 Dorojenkos fæstning i Tjigirin og denne gang lykkedes det at få Dorosjenko til at overgive sig, hvorefter Samojlovitj trak sig tilbage til venstre bred af Dnepr. Der var nu udbrudt krig mellen Rusland og Det Osmanniske Rige om kontrollen over det vestlige Ukraine. Samojlovitjs kossakhær havde succes i kampene mod osmannerne, men russerne trak sig dog hurtigt igen ud af det vestlige Ukraine.

Samojlovitjs ambitioner om at opnå kontrol med hele kosakkernes område på begge bredder af Dnepr led et knæk, da Zar-Rusland i 1686 blev optaget i Den Hellige Liga og indgik Den evige fredstraktat med Den polsk-litauiske realunion, hvor Andrusovo-traktatens opdeling af Ukraine-området ved Dnepr blev bekræftet.

Fald fra magten
Samojlovitjs forhold til den russiske zars premierminister Vasilij Golitsyn blev herefter forværret. Felttog mod Krim-khanatet slog fejl som følge af steppebrande, og der gik rygter om, at Samojlovitjs mænd havde startet brandene fordi han hellere ville angribe polakkerne end krimtatarerne. Golitsyn foretrak en mere lydig kossak, og lod i juni 1687 indsætte Ivan Mazepa som ny hétman. Samojlovitjs søn blev anklaget for majestætsfornærmelse over for zaren blev blev hentettet og Samojlovitj selv blev arresteret og sendt i eksil i Sibirien, hvor han døde i 1690.

A Battle for the Soul of Rwanda
The story of how Paul Rusesabagina saved the lives of his hotel guests during the Rwandan genocide was immortalized in the 2004 film "Hotel Rwanda." Leveraging his celebrity, Mr. Rusesabagina openly criticized the Rwandan government, and is now imprisoned on terrorism charges.
Today, we look at what Mr. Rusesabagina's story tells us about the past, present and future of Rwanda.
Guest: Declan Walsh, chief Africa correspondent for The New York Times; and Abdi Latif Dahir, East Africa correspondent for The Times.
For an exclusive look at how the biggest stories on our show come together, subscribe to our newsletter. You can read the latest edition here.
Paul Rusesabagina was mysteriously taken back to Rwanda late last year and arrested. His supporters say he has no chance of getting a fair hearing.
In a jailhouse interview with Abdi Latif Dahir, Mr. Rusesabagina said he was duped into an arrest. He believed he was being flown to Burundi to talk to church groups.

Eastern Angles, Ipswich, 2018
By Beth Flintoff
On Stage at:
UK tour 2022
From Tue 8 Feb 2022 to Sat 26 Mar 2022
Summer, 1827. In a red barn in Suffolk, Maria Marten awaits her lover. A year later, hidden in a grain sack under the floor of the barn, Maria's body is found, barely identifiable - and the manhunt begins.
The Red Barn Murder had all the hallmarks of a classic crime drama: a missing body, a country location, a disreputable squire and a village stuck in its age-old traditions. But whilst sending shockwaves throughout the country, Maria's own story was lost.
The Ballad of Maria Marten rediscovers her story, bringing it back to vivid, urgent life. Beth Flintoff's thrilling play was first performed by an all-female cast in a production by Eastern Angles in July 2018. Subsequent national tours were produced with Eastern Angles by Matthew Linley Creative Projects in association with the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
'It's been a year since I died, and still nobody has found me.'
'The genius of what Beth Flintoff has done is that it is not about the gruesome murder... but the person. Vital, layered and empowered, a beautiful piece of theatre'
A Younger Theatre
'Flintoff restores dignity to Maria... unexpectedly joyous'
'Rich and transporting'

stand to look at your dirty carpet?
No job is too small. Protect your investment and your peace of mind.
I was so impressed with the job Julie and Dave did. When they were finished my tile and grout looked like it did when it was installed 10 years ago and my grout had never been sealed! They were prompt professional and the result was wonderful.
Dave and Julie came to my home to clean our carpet a couple of days ago. The owners came not just some tech. WOW. They did an AMAZING job. They took their time, had great attention to detail, and the carpets look GREAT! Will definitely use them again.
Need Carpet, Upholstery, Or Tile Cleaning?
Sterling Steam did a fantastic job cleaning my rugs. The rugs were fairly dirty, and one was light-colored, but they look like new. The company worked around my schedule to pick up and drop off, and showed up when they said they would.
They were on time and finished in a snap. They do a great and thorough job. I've used them before and will continue in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing carpet cleaning.

Over the weekend, my team and I published our first major work of current investment analysis, which is available for free to the general public.
Considering the market carnage of late 2018, this seems prudent and timely.
Our idea was that failed investment ideas are fairly obvious to all, but ideas that worked in the past—especially those that delivered in spades—may pose a serious threat in the future that isn't so obvious.
Times change. So do markets. Sometimes once-great investment ideas expire—and if you leave them in your portfolio too long, they can turn toxic.
Which ones are toxic today?
The Great 2018 Marijuana Mania: Weed is becoming a legitimate business—but that doesn't mean pot stocks will be winners this year.
Editor's Note: This is the only item of contention on Lobo's list that the team here isn't in instant-agreement about, without any further context.
But, admittedly, in his full report, Lobo does basically say that, yes, the industry itself is poised to create a lot of new wealth; however, that rising tide will also wash away a lot of the smaller, non-profitable companies that are only still currently hanging on because of their access to investment-capital.
But, eventually, that will dry up and the small companies will be bought out and consolidated or crash up against the rocks when the Mary Jane tide starts to get closer to a shore we'll just call sustained profits. This is why Barry is in the middle of creating The Cannabis Investor's Toolkit.
Available to M4 Insider members by the end of January 2019, this will be a complete in-depth guide that will INCLUDE all the key resources, contacts and credible research outlets you need to become your own best profiteer in an industry that certainly isn't going away, but will only keep growing from here. Yup, only the best will survive.
The Short Volatility Crisis: There was a way to profit on Wall Street's record bull keeping volatility down. That trade is done.
The Continuing Yield Hunt: Seeking yield in a low-yield environment has pushed many investors into becoming speculators without realizing it. That's very dangerous.
The Crypto Crypt: I'm not anti-blockchain. But as with the dot-com bubble, while the technology is real, most of the offerings will be duds.
(Lazy) Passive Investing: It's dangerous to put all your eggs in an ETF basket and think that doing so mitigates risk through diversification.
Editor's Note: We think that the top note, via The Simple Path to Wealth post, nicely echoes the above caution about focusing on passive investing.
Our free special report explains each of these expired investment ideas: what it was, why it worked, why may not work going forward, and what to do if you're exposed.
Even folks who don't agree with me on some of these investments could benefit from rethinking the risks attached to the others.
I strongly encourage all investors to download my free report and inform themselves about these potentially toxic assets.

As a new year approaches, many people are starting to think about goals for next year. Most lists will tell you all the things you should do to have a good year, but this list is a little different. This one tells you what not to do. Yes, you read that right. Here are ten things you don't have to do to have a good year. Cheers to a successful 2019!
Someone broke up with you. You lost a friendship that was important to you. You didn't land that dream gig you tried so hard for. This 2019, leave all negativity behind and set new goals. You'll go on first dates, you'll meet new friends, and you'll have other, better options for work. Don't let what happened in 2018 set the mood for 2019.
Dreaming big is a great way to push yourself to work harder, no doubt. However, telling yourself that in 2019 you have to win a Grammy, an Oscar and retire is a bit far-fetched. Set realistic goals for yourself and work hard on them. Before you know it, you will have achieved so much more than what you set out to originally.
Some friends invite you out, but you'd rather sit on your tush and watch Netflix all night. Yes, Netflix binges are life, but life is also meant to be lived. Go out. Have fun. Be social.
Some friends invite you out, but you'd rather sit on your tush and watch Netflix all night. Yes, hanging with friends and drinking $18 cocktails are a part of life, but you also need to take care of you. Stay in. Have quiet time. Be antisocial. It's your God-given right to do it sometimes.
You get invited to a party, but you won't know very many people there. Go anyway. You've always wanted to go rock climbing, but you're not sure of you have what it takes. Go anyway. The guy you run into every morning on the train platform smiles at you. Talk to him! Don't let fears and insecurity run your life.
You have some pounds to lose, you have some pounds to gain. You have stomach issues, skin issues, foot issues, depression issues. Don't ignore them. If 2019 is the year for a better you, do not give up on feeling better. Having your health in check will help you achieve all the other amazing things you have planned.
Ask for a raise. Don't let people who say love you treat you with anything less than love. Don't date someone you know is not treating you the way you deserve just because you don't want to be lonely again. Only you can decide what your worth is. Make sure everyone else knows it too.
You already have shoes you can wear. You already have tons of outfits and you already have makeup. Think about your future. Think about the amazing places you could visit if you saved more money for travel. Don't spend your money on the fleeting things that this world offers us. Spend your money on creating moments and memories. When you're on your deathbed, you're going to think about the amazing time you had, not on the amazing shoes you bought.
Your coworker didn't say good morning to you. Your train was late. It raining and you just got a blow out. Don't sweat it! Little things can ruin our day, but only if we allow life's little inconveniences take charge. Smile anyway! Life isn't so bad.
Write out your goals, because a list keeps you accountable. Write a handwritten thank you to someone who gave you a hand. Write your significant other a love note. Write, write, write! If it's written, it counts so much more.

Q: How to upload a file from app in VC++ 6 to a web server? I have an application in VC++ 6 (not MFC) , feature requires it to upload a file to a web server on regular basis. Web server is under our control, anonymous upload scripts/page are already setup that would accept a file manually.
How to program in VC++ 6 to upload? which classes to use?
I understand it is much possible with smtp and ftp but how through http?

A: On Windows 2000 upwards, you could use InternetWriteFile API
Open session using InternetOpen
Open URL using InternetOpenUrl
and create buffers to read file from the filesystem and use InternetWriteFile to send it to the server opened by InternetOpenUrl
To use HTTP specifically, you could use WinHttpWriteData API
support functions needed for this is similar to the above, and it's well defined on MSDN

SAFA President wary of handing Kaizer Chiefs PSL title
SAFA boss Danny Jordaan says giving the PSL title to current table toppers Kaizer Chiefs would not help the social distancing course
byNnamdi Ekugbah
South Africa Football Association (SAFA) President Danny Jordaan (C) declares Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba (unseen) as the new appointed coach for the South African National football team Bafana Bafana during a press conference held at SAFA's headquarters on July 26, 2014 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

President of the South African Football Association (SAFA) Danny Jordaan, says giving the Premier Soccer League title to current table toppers Kaizer Chiefs would not help the social distancing course.
Chiefs are four points ahead of second placed Mamelodi Sundowns, and there have been calls from different parts insisting the PSL title should be given to the Glamour Boys since there are doubts of the league resuming in the foreseeable future.
The SAFA president insists that handing Kaizer Chiefs the PSL title would work against the control of the coronavirus pandemic in South Africa.
"The curve is spiking again. Death and infections are increasing. We can also not say that we are going to play while the curve is going up. It's not in our hands really," Jordaan said.

"In the English FA, Liverpool are 25 points clear of rivals Manchester City. They are saying if they play behind closed doors and Liverpool wins, there's a minimum of 70,000 supporters that will go to the streets and celebrate – now where's social distancing?"
The 2019/2020 PSL season was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak on the day Mamelodi Sundowns were scheduled to play Orlando Pirates, while the next day would have seen Kaizer Chiefs face Bidvest Wits.
Jordaan believes playing these games behind closed doors would also be risky, while ending the league season prematurely could cause a frenzy.
"If Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates play behind closed doors the 90,000 supporters that were supposed to get to FNB Stadium, where will they go? Are they sitting at home? They'll go to the shebeens and taverns," Jordaan stated.

"If Chiefs win the league, the supporters will go to the street and go crazy."
Chiefs legend, Lucas Radebe has been one of the numerous voices that have called for the PSL title to be handed to the Amakhosi.
Kaizer Chiefs have not won the PSL trophy or any trophy in five years, with their last piece of silverware coming with former South Africa head coach Stuart Baxter as the manager.

Setting a correct white balance point for your footage is usually the very first step you should do on every shoot.
Get your white balance correct and you'll have a nicely color balanced image across the entire range making it easier and faster to color grade. Set it wrong and your image will suffer from strong color tint, making it sometimes hard to fix and wasting a precious time on what should have been correct in first place.
If your camera has the option to shoot raw, your life is only that much easier as you can set the white balance after the shoot, but you still should get it correct in camera as often dailies are created without correcting the white balance and you don't want your client seeing a footage with incorrect color balance.
As we discussed before, balancing your shot before color grading it and applying creative LUTs is extremely important. It's the foundation for the color grade. But what do you do if the white balance is all wrong?
Different white balance starting points result in a completely different color grade. Therefore it's extremely important to set the white balance correctly and balance the footage prior to grading it.
Well you correct it of course because otherwise it would be impossible to color grade your footage and if you're using LUTs as a part of your color grading process, you would get unexpected results. Too often I've seen filmmakers struggling with correcting the white balance of their footage.
The amount of color tint in shadows is different, at least visually, form the amount of tint in mid tones and highlights and it requires a different amount of correction.
Getting this right, can be often tricky and always time consuming.
Enter white balance correction LUTs.
We've created a set of 20 white balance correction LUTs that will help you correct just about any white balance color shift and save you a precious time and effort correcting incorrect white balance. The best thing is, we're giving these away completely free. No registration required, no email form. Just download the LUTs at the bottom of this post and start using them. These will complement nicely the free color grading LUTs we offer.
All LUTs have self explanatory names that will help you match different lighting sources but before we examine the LUTs, lets quickly cover the terms CTO and CTB as these are important in understanding the color correction values.
In case you're not familiar with the CTO and CTB values, these relate to transparent color gels used for correcting the white point of a light source.
Back in the film days, there were basically two type of film stock – daylight balanced and tungsten balanced. Since setting the white balance was not possible on film cameras there were two options – either use the correct film stock for the type of lighting or correct the light source to match the balance of the film stock.
In practice, almost always there would be a mix of lighting sources on set and that meant you would have to correct the lighting sources to match and give a nicely balanced result. This is very much true today as well.
CTB (Color Temperature Blue). A CTB gel converts tungsten light to 'daylight' color.
CTO (Color Temperature Orange). A CTO gel converts 'daylight' light into tungsten color.
Different manufacturers' gels yield slightly different colors. As well, there is no precise definition of the color of daylight since it varies depending on the location (latitude, dust, pollution) and the time of day.
Third type of gel filters are gels that remove the green cast of fluorescent lights and are called minus green. Gels that add a green cast are called plus green.
Fractions such as 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 indicate the strength of a gel. A 1/2 CTO gel is half the strength of a (full) CTO gel. A value of 1.00 means full, while a value of 0.34 means a third.
This LUT will help you balance a footage that was shot with Daylight balanced (5500 Kelvin) light source, but the white balance was incorrectly set to 3200 Kelvin during the shoot. Note the full 1.00 CTO (Color Temperature Orange) value in the name. This should have been the correction on the light source if it was to match the white balance on the camera (or better yet a Tungsten balanced film stock). In our case since the image was shot with a 5500 Kelvin light source but the white balance was set to 3200 Kelvin, we get an image with a blue tint and therefore we need a gel filter with CTO value to correct this tint.
Here we have the exact opposite. The footage was shot with a Tungsten (3200 Kelvin) light source but the white balance was set to 5500 Kelvin, resulting in warm orange tint. Once again, if we were to correct the light source to match the white balance during the shoot (or better yet a Daylight balanced film stock) we would use a CTB (Color Temperature Blue) gel filter to correct for the too warm tint.
Use this naming convention in deciding which white balance correction LUT you should use.
Here we have an image shot with a daylight balanced light source and correctly set white balance in camera.
Here is the same image, with incorrectly set white balance of 3200 Kelvin resulting in an image with a blue tint. Since this was shot in raw, it was possible for demonstration purposes to set incorrect white balance.
And here is the previous image (the blue one) corrected with the 3200 Kelvin – 5500 Kelvin – 1.00 CTO LUT.
In case you want to compare the correctly white balanced image (the first one) with the LUT corrected one (third image), here's a before and after. On the right we have the corrected image.
Goes long way for one click. Doesn't it?
As I mentioned earlier, we offer 20 white balance correction LUTs with these white balance values 2800, 3200, 4300, 5500 and 6500 Kelvin allowing you to cross-correct just about any lighting-white balance error you may encounter.
Please bear in mind these LUTs expect normalised or log-corrected image to work properly. If your footage is of log type your should normalise it prior to applying one of the white balance correction LUTs.
The easiest way to accomplish this would be using one of our Log conversion LUTs from any of our paid packages.
