DETROIT, MICHIGAN(LATMITV)- The Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) recently announced the 2019-2020 season of its Classical Series and PNC Pops Series, as well as initial plans for a season-long centennial celebration of its historic home Orchestra Hall—one of the world's premier concert halls—which first opened its doors on October 23, 1919.
To kick off the Orchestra Hall centennial, the opening weekend of the 2019-2020 Classical Series (Oct 4-6) will replicate the first program ever presented on its stage: Weber's Overture to Oberon, Mozart's E-flat Concerto for Two Pianos, Bach's Concerto No. 2 for Three Pianos, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. Michael Francis conducts and pianists Christina and Michelle Naughton and Keun-A Lee are the guest soloists on a program the Detroit Free Press called a "striking opening event of a colossal nature" in its 1919 review.
Throughout the centennial season, many DSO programs will feature other works performed during Orchestra Hall's first season in 1919-1920, including Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, Dvořák's "New World" Symphony, and Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto.
The centennial celebration will also pay tribute to Orchestra Hall's ten-year history as the Paradise Theatre (1941–1951), a top Midwest tour destination for the finest jazz, bebop, and blues artists. The Duke Ellington Orchestra will perform in December 2019, as part of the DSO's Paradise Jazz Series, which will celebrate its own 20th anniversary in 2019-2020. Duke Ellington headlined the first-ever concert at the Paradise Theatre, on Christmas Eve 1941. The full 20th anniversary Paradise Jazz Series will be announced in the coming weeks.
For the new season, the DSO has also commissioned new music by the American composers Mohammed Fairouz, James Lee III, Nkeiru Okoye, and Julia Wolfe. The works by Fairouz, Lee, and Okoye will each have their world premieres in Detroit by the DSO, while the piece by Wolfe is a co-commission and will receive its local premiere. Additionally, the DSO has commissioned a new brass fanfare from composers and spouses Kristin Kuster and William Lucas (a member of the DSO trumpet section) to mark the occasion of the Orchestra Hall centennial. The 2019-2020 Classical Series features other contemporary works by DSO cellist Jeremy Crosmer, Sebastian Fagerlund, Gabriel Kahane, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Outi Tarkiainen, and Alex Temple.
"Orchestra Hall's centennial gives us a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the DSO's vibrant history while also remaining committed to our vision of all an orchestra can be in the 21st century," said DSO Vice President and General Manager Erik Rönmark.
DSO Music Director Laureate Leonard Slatkin will return to Detroit to conduct the DSO on four programs, including two back-to-back weeks in May 2020. Highlights of Slatkin's programs include concerts with violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Garrick Ohlsson and a performance of Orff's powerful choral work Carmina Burana. In celebration of Slatkin's 75th birthday later this year, the DSO and other orchestras with strong connections to the conductor have commissioned new variations on Paganini's famous theme (Caprice No. 24) by five composers, which will performed along with an earlier set of variations from 1996.
Guest conductors scheduled to appear with the DSO next season include Jader Bignamini (on two programs), who memorably stepped in to lead the season-closing performances of Puccini's Turandot last June, as well as Lionel Bringuier, Fabien Gabel, James Gaffigan, Eric Jacobsen, Hannu Lintu, Juanjo Mena, Ruth Reinhardt, Dalia Stasevska, Thomas Søndergård, Markus Stenz, John Storgårds, and Juraj Valčua.
Former DSO Resident Conductor Thomas Wilkins returns to Detroit to lead the orchestra's 42nd annual Classical Roots concerts, celebrating African-American contributions to classical music, next year featuring the world premiere of Nkeiru Okoye's Black Bottom and a performance of Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto by André Watts.
The DSO will mark the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth in 2020 with a trio of major works on the second half of the season: Symphony No. 6, "Pastoral" conducted by John Storgårds, the "Emperor" Concerto with Watts and Wilkins, and a season-closing performance of the Violin Concerto with violinist Vadim Gluzman and conductor Hannu Lintu.
Other top soloists appearing next season include mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, who makes her DSO debut performing Ravel's Shéhérazade and Alex Temple's Liebeslied; cellist Alisa Weilerstein (Barber's Cello Concerto); violinists James Ehnes, Karen Gomyo, Augustin Hadelich, and Julian Rachlin; and pianists Bertrand Chamayou, Alexandra Dariescu, and Simon Trpčeski, among others. DSO Concertmaster Yoonshin Song (Katherine Tuck Chair) will be featured as soloist in Bruch's Violin Concerto in G minor on the second program of the season.
The DSO also announced its 2019-2020 PNC Pops Series, which will bring favorites from Broadway, film and TV, rock, jazz, and more to the Orchestra Hall stage. DSO Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik will lead three programs: Queens of Soul, featuring a tribute to Aretha Franklin, plus music by Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle, and other soul and R&B divas; Legends: The Paul Simon Songbook; and Prohibition, a celebration of the 1920s inspired by the cabarets and speakeasies of New York, Paris, and Atlantic City. Other PNC Pops Series highlights include an evening with Broadway and television star Jason Alexander, a performance blending music and live magic with Masters of Illusion star Michael Grandinetti, and the ever-popular Home for the Holidays program. The DSO Presents program of Home Alone in Concert, a holiday favorite that sells out year after year, also will return.

Raise your hand if you think you have tight shoulders? Bad Posture? Sit at a desk? If you're reading this we're assuming you, or someone you know does in fact struggle with poor posture. We always recommend people start by correcting their desk and laptop setups to put yourself in the best position for success. So much so that we've created The 5 Step Laptop Set-Up Guide to show you exactly how to get yourself set up for seated success.
Now correcting your posture is no easy feat. Heck, it took you "insert the number of years here" to get to where you are now, you aren't going to roll around on a foam roller, lift a few heavy things and voila – perfect posture. No. Unfortunately, it's a little more challenging than that. However, it's definitely doable and you are totally up to the task.
A big part of changing your posture starts with lifestyle. Taking breaks, moving frequently and changing positions are key. We actually wrote up the Ultimate Guide To Your Office Chair for this reason exactly.
But enough about that, let's get right into the nitty-gritty. If you're looking for the 3 best exercises to reverse bad posture, then look no further. We've compiled them for you here complete with video demonstrations to give you the best shot at success.
This has to be one of the best and most often overlooked exercises to improve your shoulder, neck, and lower back mobility. Not to mention aiding the pain in these areas. In our modern day, our upper backs take a daily beating. Our bodies often stiffen up in this position and our shoulders, neck and lower back are forced to move around this rigid thing you are calling your back!
This is one of the first things we tackle when it comes to issues like Shoulder Impingement or Long Head Biceps Tendonitis. So roll out and enjoy!
Now, this exercise can be a bit uncomfortable at first, but it gets better as you improve your overall mobility. The roller matters here! We recommend the trigger point roller (our affiliate link), but any will do! They come with a variety of densities so you have the find the right one for you. It should be comfortable. After all, we want you to love stretching as much as your body does!
It is time to stretch out our chest muscles ladies and gentleman! Now, I commonly see people hanging off the edge of door frames or pressing their noses into the corner of a room. People will leverage their arms off the wall to attempt to stretch something in the front of the arm. The problem with this is that you are not just stretching your pecs here. You are literally hanging off a whole whack of muscles in the front of the shoulder. This includes the biceps (and we wonder why they get sore) and the actual joint capsule itself. Needless to say, a non-specific stretch is no good at all.
So I propose the Pec Grinder. This is a way you a can perform self-myofascial release on yourself while stretching your shoulder wonderfully. Enjoy.
I love this exercise. It's easy, time efficient, and you can do it anywhere – so no excuses! All you need for this guy is a resistance band and your own two arms. You can complete this exercise sitting at your desk, watching Netflix, or (god forbid) even in the gym!. It focuses on strengthening your rotator cuff, rhomboids and your posterior deltoids (the muscles that hold you shoulders in the right position and support your posture). Gravity hammers away on us all day long, driving our shoulders forward, and wreaking havoc on our posture. This exercise will help you finally sit and stand like your mother always wanted.
We've created a full write up on this strengthening exercise if you need a full review.
If you need any resistance band we recommend this bulk set of bands (affiliate link).
What if you're struggling with pain?
Don't worry, we've got you covered! If you are having issues or trouble with your shoulder, we recommend you check out the PhysioReady Shoulder Impingement Program. It's an entire online program dedicated to getting your shoulders pain free and feeling awesome.
You can also check out our Ultimate Guide to Shoulder Impingement where we teach all d to know about what the heck is going on with your shoulder and show you how to fix it! Or if you're looking to stretch out those shoulders of yours, check out our Top 5 Shoulder Stretches Exercises To Do At Home. We also created a post on the Top 5 Shoulder Strength Exercises To Do At Home if you're looking to beef up your shoulders.


I always greet every year with anticipation. First of all, I hope everyone has a healthy, happy year. I wish my country good times ahead, because a stable country ensures our security and happiness. Regarding my career, I hope to stay involved in good projects, as I still have a long way to go. Last year was very good for me as I did a number of good films, and I hope 2018 has even better in store for me.
I believe that life is what you make of it, and for that reason I always strive to remain positive. That being said, we must also work hard for good outcomes to happen. I identify myself as an artiste rather than an actor, and I look forward to exploring new avenues in acting and emulating challenging characters.
Being an actor means everything to me, whether it is on the big or small screen. While I haven't done many films, I look forward to more film opportunities this year, and will remain as active as ever on the small screen. Nothing is as satisfying as receiving praise for your work, and I hope to deliver even better this year.
It's hard to believe how an entire year went by so quickly. Even though "Aynabaji" was released in 2016, the film's success still put me in the limelight the following year, which was very fortunate for me. I began my career as a TV presenter and model, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to make my mark in film. I'd like to focus solely on cinema, but will only play roles that appeal to me.
Last year gave me much to be thankful for. I released new songs that were received well by my listeners, and I hope to do the same this year. Music is the backbone of our culture, and to be involved with singing, and appreciating as listeners is an important act of preserving our traditions. I have a few surprises planned for this year, which I am preparing to present publicly quite soon. I also hope to work on a few music videos which will appeal to my fans.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mariah Carey is in the hospital for a shoulder injury.
The pop star's representative says the singer went to the hospital in New York late Sunday after injuring her shoulder while filming a music video.
Her rep adds Monday that "doctors reset her shoulder" and that "she is fine."
Carey was filming a video for a remix version of her song "#Beautiful" with rapper Young Jeezy. The video was being directed by her husband Nick Cannon.
The singer will still perform Saturday with the New York Philharmonic on Central Park's Great Lawn for the 2013 MLB All-Star Charity Concert. It will benefit Superstorm Sandy victims.
Carey will release a new album this year. "#Beautiful" features Grammy-winning R&B singer Miguel and has peaked at No. 15 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.

David Attenborough to look at The Rise Of Animals
September 4, 2013 ATV News UK ATV Today Video Features 0
David Attenborough's Rise of Animals is a landmark series about the astonishing evolutionary advances that created the dazzling diversity of vertebrates which now dominate our planet – including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and, ultimately, mammals like us.
This animal group has produced the largest, the fastest and the most intelligent creatures the world has ever seen.
David Attenborough's 500 million year journey takes us around the world to the sites of the latest key discoveries including his first filming trip to a region that has become the modern frontier of paleontological research, China.
David uses animal encounters and new science to unpack the crucial evolutionary turning points leading to the rise of vertebrates, including the first spine, where fingers and toes come from, why we became warm-bloodied, and much more – specialities that have led to the stunning success of the vertebrates. The journey reveals how humans are the heirs to a magnificent evolutionary heritage stretching back to the first steps of life.
Rise Of Animals uses a special collaboration between Emmy-winning company Zoo-VFX and top scientists to create eye-popping CGI. This, combined with stunning natural history filming and the world's greatest natural history filmmaker, David Attenborough, tells the story of our ancient animal ancestors and connects them with the incredible life that we find on Earth today – including ourselves.
The two part series begins on Friday September 20th on BBC Two at 9pm

UW-Eau Claire suspends 5 football players for…
UW-Eau Claire suspends 5 football players for racist Snapchat messages
By Sarah Seifert and Ryan Patterson | Eau Claire (Wis.) Leader-Telegram
PUBLISHED: November 20, 2019 at 11:39 pm | UPDATED: November 21, 2019 at 7:51 pm
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has suspended five student-athletes from the university's football team in connection with racist social media messages, which included references to the Black Male Empowerment group on campus, that were posted to Twitter.
The Dean of Students' office is investigating the incident, said Mike Rindo, assistant chancellor for facilities and university relations.
Rindo said Wednesday the university cannot identify the suspended students because an investigation is ongoing.
The messages in the Snapchat string included a picture of a cross burning at a Ku Klux Klan event.
UW-Eau Claire Chancellor James Schmidt said he doesn't expect the investigation to be a long process.
"This investigation is not that complicated because of the way it was done, posted and tagged on social media," Schmidt said at UW-Eau Claire Wednesday. "While it is an investigation, there are not that many more facts to uncover, but (Dean of Students LaRue Pierce) will go through that process."
Schmidt condemned the racist messages Wednesday.
"I have high regard for (Black Male Empowerment's) great work on campus, and I am disgusted by the actions taken by these students," he said in an interview with the Leader-Telegram. "Ignorance is excusable, but racist actions are not."
Based on the facts, Pierce will decide what consequences the students will face, Schmidt said.
UW-Eau Claire senior Lewis Balom, who is president of BME, called for "long-term action" Wednesday evening.
"I want to see action that's going to make change," Balom told the Leader-Telegram, adding that suspending athletes from their football team is not enough and amounts to "a slap on the wrist."
The Snapchat messages included references to a non-existent White Male Empowerment group.
"For all who can't make the BME meeting, (name deleted) and I are holding WME tonight at 7," a message reads.
"I'll be there but I'll be like 5 minutes late. Think the cross will still be burning? Don't wanna miss that again," said another message.
"Yeah we don't do it till 10 minutes in. That pic is from last weeks meeting," replied a message referencing the burning cross.
Student athletes are typically suspended from their team during an investigation if they are accused of misconduct, Schmidt said: "All students have a code of conduct, but athletes are held to a higher standard because they also represent the institution by putting on the uniform."
State Rep. Jodi Emerson, D-Eau Claire, said in a statement Wednesday afternoon she was "deeply disappointed" that UW-Eau Claire "has been hit with racist and hateful speech."
Emerson also called for an investigation and "appropriate action" from the university.
Balom and BME Vice President Jalen Thomas both played on the football team for three seasons but were not on the team this year. They said they were disgusted to see the racist messages but not surprised.
"This is nothing new," Balom said. "This is just the first time where we've had hardcore evidence."
Balom also released a statement through the BME Twitter account on Tuesday.
"As President of Black Male Empowerment I would like to attest to the injustice and racial discrimination displayed upon us as a minority group on the campus of UW-EAU CLAIRE. We will stand up for our rights and bring light to the situation. No ignorant slander shall be Tolerated!"
After the messages were made public, some football players who were not in the group chat reached out and apologized. Thomas appreciated the apologies but said the bigoted remarks made him question who he could trust.
"You don't know really who was on your side because you expect some guys to act a certain way, but they don't," Thomas said.
BME leaders spoke with Schmidt Wednesday night, and Thomas said the chancellor expressed genuine sympathy. Going forward, Thomas believes all students should go through diversity and inclusion training.
This is the second racist incident UW-Eau Claire has publicly dealt with this school year. In September a message telling junior Kayde Langer, who is Red Lake Ojibwe, to "go back to the rez" that included a racial slur was written on her dorm room door. The university was conducting a multi-department investigation into the September incident.
Law enforcement and the university haven't found the person who wrote the slur on Langer's door, and the investigation remains open, Schmidt said Wednesday.
Langer said she has not received any updates on the investigation since it began.
Regarding the racist social media messages, Langer believes the students involved should be expelled. She also said university officials must work on proactive measures to make sure students of color feel more welcome at UW-Eau Claire.
"Racism should not have a safe space on this campus," Langer said. "It is a recurring problem. … We need to keep pushing administration because if we let this go, then they're not going to be doing anything."
Balom concurred.
"There's no way this is going on between your walls, on or off the field, and you don't know nothing about it," Balom said. "It's one of two things: Either you're not doing anything about it or you don't care."

In an effort to increase conversations around racism on campus, the university's newly hired vice chancellor for equity, diversity and inclusion and student affairs, Warren Anderson, will take up a new equity, diversity and inclusion study when he joins UW-Eau Claire on Dec. 16, Schmidt said.
"We'll have a campus-wide conversation about what that looks like, with that new vice chancellor charged with leading those efforts," Schmidt said.

Next fall, Jaguar will return to open-wheel racing for the first time since 2004—only this time, it's in the all-electric FIA Formula E series.
Jaguar is getting back into racing next fall, but don't expect to hear the scream of a Coventry engine when it happens. The British automaker just its entry into FIA Formula E, the all-electric open-wheel racing series.
The Jaguar Formula E team will be partnered with Williams Advanced Engineering, the same chassis and drivetrain experts that helped create the original C-X75 plug-in hybrid concept car.
"Electric vehicles will absolutely play a role in Jaguar Land Rover's future product portfolio and Formula E will give us a unique opportunity to further our development of electrification technologies," said Nick Rogers, Group Engineering Director for Jaguar Land Rover. "The Championship will enable us to engineer and test our advanced technologies under extreme performance conditions."
Formula E has been a little slow to get off the ground in its first two seasons, but the series seems to be gaining some ground. Organizers have launched an autonomous racing support series called ROBORACE (seriously) to warm up the crowds ahead of Formula E races, and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio has been named chairman of the Formula E Sustainability Committee. Hell, even Switzerland has lifted its ban on motorsports to allow the all-electric racing series, put in place after the tragic 1955 Le Mans accident that killed more than 80 spectators.
Jaguar's first appearance on the FIA Formula E grid will take place at the start of the 2016 season next fall.

Why you snore, when to be concerned and how to stop
(The Washington Post/iStock)
By Angela Haupt
December 2, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. EST
Chloe Chioy's college house-share featured a dingy basement, bug-infested attic, tiny bathrooms and, perhaps worst of all, a snoring roommate. The poor chap could have "won in a noise competition against the fire alarm," says Chioy, 21, a digital marketing coordinator who attended the University of Sheffield in England and now lives in Taipei, Taiwan.
Thousands who 'followed the rules' are getting covid. They shouldn't be ashamed.ArrowRight
Chioy and her fellow housemates could not ignore the nightly rumble. They bought their friend nasal strips, but those proved uncomfortable, though he agreed to wear them on pre-exam nights, when solid sleep was extra important. They switched their focus to dampening the racket rather than stopping it, and ultimately achieved some solace by soundproofing the snorer's walls with cheap foam they found on eBay.
Johns Hopkins Medicine estimates that 45 percent of adults snore occasionally, while 25 percent snore regularly. It can be particularly maddening for the people who live with and sleep near snorers: Kent Smith, the founding director of Sleep Dallas and president of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy, says he recently met with a patient who had scheduled an appointment to try to save his marriage. But snoring isn't necessarily just a nuisance; it can also signal an underlying medical condition. Here's what to know about why we snore, how dangerous it is and how to treat it.
What causes snoring?
Snoring is a common condition that happens when something blocks the flow of air through your mouth and nose, says David Schwartz, president of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and a practicing dentist in the Chicago area. As air attempts to push through, it causes the soft tissues to vibrate, leading to the (often quite irritating) sound known as snoring.
In some cases, people snore because they have a nasal obstruction, deviated septum or collapsed nasal valve, Schwartz says. Or, the sound could be caused by the tongue. "Sometimes the tongue will just fall back against the soft palate and the uvula and tonsils, especially in a person who has a very small airway," he says. "As air is trying to pass through, it creates vibration."
How to choose the best sleeping position, and why it matters
Snoring can be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that affects about 1 in 5 people, says Steven Holfinger, a sleep medicine specialist at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center. This type of apnea occurs when your throat muscles relax as you sleep, blocking your airway. Snoring that's caused by sleep apnea is often particularly loud, and it might be accompanied by shallow breaths, gasping or general restlessness.
"Snoring is very much associated with sleep apnea. But not everybody with sleep apnea snores — even though the vast majority do — and not everybody who snores has sleep apnea," Holfinger says. "That's where it gets tricky," and why it's important to visit a sleep specialist to help determine the root cause of the snoring.
Snoring can also be caused by other less-serious conditions, such as nasal polyps, a crooked septum, the shape of your palate or tongue, or a cold or allergies. Being pregnant or overweight or consuming alcohol can also contribute to snoring.
Is snoring unhealthy?
Exactly how dangerous snoring is often depends on the extent to which you're angering your bed partner, Smith says. But, jokes aside, he adds, it's best not to consider it a benign condition. Snoring every once in a while — if you have a cold, for example, or drank too much alcohol before bed — is usually harmless. But if you snore every night, he advises making an appointment with a sleep specialist.
Research indicates that about 90 percent of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed, and the condition can have serious ramifications, including an elevated risk of heart problems. "We see severe patients all the time, and they have no clue they have sleep apnea," Smith says. "They're only coming in because their bed partner told them to."
Even if you don't have OSA, snoring could pose a risk to your health. Some research suggests that it's associated with cardio-metabolic risk factors such as atherosclerosis (disease of the arteries) and endothelial dysfunction (a type of nonobstructive coronary artery disease). A study published in the journal Laryngoscope, for example, examined people who snored but didn't have sleep apnea. Researchers found that the longer people spent snoring each night, the more narrowing they had in their neck arteries, which could heighten the risk of stroke.
The pros and cons of sleeping with pets
If you see a sleep specialist, you'll probably undergo a sleep study, during which your brain levels, oxygen level, heart rate, and eye and leg movements will be recorded. Such studies "used to be a lot more onerous," Smith says, and required spending the night at a medical center. But now, at-home studies are becoming the norm. "It's a more realistic look at [patients'] night-to-night sleep habits," he says. "It's their own bed, their own temperature, their own dogs, their own bed partner."
If a sleep study reveals OSA, patients are typically treated with breathing devices such as a continuous positive airway pressure machine, which blasts a steady stream of air into the nose and mouth during sleep.
What habits can I change to stop snoring?
If your snoring isn't caused by sleep apnea, there are lifestyle changes you can try, including:
Lose weight. The more you weigh, the more likely it is that you'll snore. That's because we carry those extra pounds all over, including in our tongue, which crowds the airway. "So, weight loss will improve your snoring," Holfinger says. In one study, men who lost more than six pounds greatly reduced their level of nightly snoring, while those who shed about 16 pounds virtually eliminated their snoring.
Quit smoking. "Smoking creates what we call a sticky airway," Smith says, which means air doesn't flow in an optimal manner, thus leading to snoring. If you're a smoker, it's worth trying to kick the habit (for numerous reasons).
Don't drink before bed. Alcohol causes the muscles near your airway to relax, increasing the odds that you'll snore, Holfinger says. It's best to stop drinking at least a few hours before you go to bed.
Adjust your sleeping position. When you sleep on your back, the tissues in your upper airways might droop, and "you have a much greater chance of snoring," Schwartz says. If snoring is disrupting your life, try sleeping on your side or using a few pillows to prop up your head. It might make a difference. If it doesn't help, he says, see a doctor.
What about snoring aids?
There's a certain aisle at CVS, Walgreens and other large drugstores that's like a snoring-remedy bonanza. There are chewable tablets and face cushions. There are sleep headbands and anti-snore pillows and chin straps.
"Most of those are pretty gimmicky," Smith says. Some products might help light snorers, he adds, but it's best to see a doctor instead of potentially wasting money on items that don't work. Here are some remedies doctors do recommend:
Nasal strips or dilators. One potentially helpful product you can find in the drugstore is a box of these items. You apply the strips, such as Breathe Right, to the outside of your nose at bedtime; the idea is that they help open your nasal passages, thus reducing snoring. One older study of that brand found that dilators effectively reduce the intensity of snoring in a majority of people, especially if the snorer doesn't have a condition such as OSA that affects their breathing while they sleep.
Schwartz prefers another over-the-counter product called Mute, which works differently: "It's really, really small, and it goes into the nostril and opens it up," so the person's airflow isn't limited, he says.
A customized mouthpiece or mouthguard. These appliances pull the jaw and tongue slightly forward, opening the upper airway. You can buy basic versions online, Schwartz says, but those "tend to have a higher association with tooth movement and jaw pain," and they're often uncomfortable and/or ill-fitting. "It's something that really should be made custom to your mouth" by a dentist.
Surgery. There are some outpatient procedures that can help alleviate snoring. For example, laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty, or LAUP, involves shortening the soft tissue that dangles in the back of the throat, while making small cuts in the soft palate that will later stiffen. Another option, somnoplasty, uses radio waves to shrink the soft tissue that vibrates while you snore.
Surgery is generally "considered a last resort, because it's painful," Smith says. And there's another con: Insurance doesn't always cover it.

Critic Reviews of "Get On Up"
Chadwick Boseman gives a startling and galvanic performance.
ChristyLemire.com
In Boseman's hands - and his feet, and his entire body, for that matter - he demands and earns our attention.
Richard Roeper.com
Somewhat sanitized and over-directed biopic saved by Boseman's electric performance.
Though "Get On Up" never congeals into a satisfactory whole, its fragmentary portrait of the singer at the height of his fame - intercut with his troubled single-parent childhood - effectively shows his invasive power in popular culture.
More often, the film skates along the surface of Brown's contradictory character. Now if it skated like Brown's dance moves glided onstage, that really would have been something.
The storytelling is mostly linear, with some confusing back-and-forth in the chronology, and it's a long slog. The Brown who emerges from this film has a monstrous ego to go with his monster talent.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Warts and all, in fits and starts, finally the Hardest Working Man in Show Business gets his story told.
NY1-TV
The narrative is unsatisfying as it leaves lots of unanswered questions.
As prodigious a talent as Prince was, he only altered the funk. The megalithic, trail-blazing talent of James Brown birthed it. And Chadwick Boseman nails the telling of it.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Musically explosive, emotionally powerful and flat-out funky, Get on Up tells the outrageous life story of James Brown with a quirky brilliance worthy of the man at its center.
Cinemixtape
Worthy of its subject and the dollars of music and film fans alike. As roundly entertaining as any biopic in recent memory.
The Film Stage
Boseman is the highlight, of course, and Taylor is smart to keep his leading man front-and-center in every, single scene.

At some point during the long train ride between Zermatt and St. Moritz, my eyes glazed over and I seemed to stop appreciating the sheer beauty of what was floating past me outside.
The view from the top of the last cable car wasn't quite enough.
I too couldn't help let out an audible gasp as the large gondola pulled back before the pylon.


Choosing the right chat program has just got a whole lot harder now that they have all recently been updated. However, it would seem that some are being left behind, although this has something to do with Facebook being able to push its Messenger app much harder, which they have been doing over the past few months.
There are really four main contenders, and while there are others, they don't seem to be a match for Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, and Skype. I already have my favorite, although I will share that with you later.
Facebook Messenger vs. WhatsApp — Both chat apps have a lot to offer, although they do differ in how they approach things. Even though these are rival services, they do have the same goal, and that is to corner the market considering Facebook own both. WhatsApp is a more dedicated messenger app it has more to offer, such as being able to send images, video, audio, location and being able to send contact details to other users.
Messenger can also send images and audio, but you are also able to use image search with the use of Bing. It would seem that WhatsApp is the victor here, which you can see in this in-depth comparison.
Viber did get off to a slow start because it was only available on the iPhone, but now it is also used on Android devcies, it has managed to close the gap in terms of features against Skype. There is not really that many differences, there had been, but both have borrowed features from each other and incorporated this into recent updates. However, we would like to say that call quality seems to be better on Viber when you are in different countries, although Skype still has the better chat feature.
Difference between Viber and FaceTime — Believe it or not there are still people wondering what the differences between these two messenger services are. We already know that Viber is not just an iOS only app, as you can also install it to Android devices as well. However, FaceTime is an iOS and Mac only app and there is no intention of changing this.
Viber is the more complete package (part from video) and so should not be compared to FaceTime, whereas iMessage could, although that still lacks in the feature department. We already explained what you can do with Viber, whereas FaceTime only allows you to video chat, which you cannot do with Viber.
When looking at the difference between Viber and WhatsApp, and FaceTime, as well as Skype and Facebook Messenger, which app gets your vote, although you may have to pick two. For chats I do prefer to use Facebook Messenger, but for those in my contacts list or are not on Facebook, then my second choice is always Whatsapp.
I like whatsapp because all my friends are using it and it serves as a common app for photo sharing, etc. and also I love viber because I can make ISD calls and talk to my friends for almost no extra penny. Lately, I started using Photo4tune and I love its chat stickers and event creation features!
Photo4tune by far is the best app that I have come across. Loved its interface. It's a mix of SnapChat and Whatsapp and offers services free of cost even at the end of one year unlike the latter. Try it you can download it from Google PlayStore now!

Ok, I'm coming up on an anniversary date. I'm doing better than I thought I would be at this point. But we haven't hit the actual day yet. I'm not sure if it will be harder than I think, or if I'm actually doing better with things. I found a necklace that I want in a catalog yesterday. It has a larger pendant that has a cross on it, and then you can get different birthstone charms to add to it. I decided that I want this necklace to wear when I'm needing to remember my "angels." I can make a point to wear it on the rough days.
Sometimes the hardest thing about it, is that I feel like my babies are forgotten just because they weren't born into this world. My biggest fear is that they will be forgotten, or that they won't be considered a life just because nobody saw them. I know they were here even if just for a short while. Even if I never held them in my arms. They did matter, and they still matter to me and God. It may seem very corny to say, but I can't wait to get to Heaven and be able to hold them and spend eternity getting to know them.
One thing that I have learned through all of it, is that God never leaves my side. He's always with me, and He really does have a plan, even if it's not what I had planned. He sees what we can't, and that's where I have to trust Him. So far He has not actually let me down, even when I think He has. I thank Him for getting me through each day.
Lord, thank you for giving me the strength to bear what I've been through. I do know that you have a plan for me even when I don't understand it. I thank you for showing me just a few things so far that make your plan worthwhile even in the midst of my pain. I want to fully trust you, and be content where you have me. To know that you won't give me more than I can handle. I love you so much.


No one can beat Hizbollah in terms of graphics! Case in point this beautiful logo for their campaign this year. "To protect and build" with a logo that says shield/house/election ballot - with a sleek typography to boot. Impeccable and beautiful and dignified! Be wherever you want politically but failing to appreciate the graphic genius above is unacceptable.

2000 Opus One Proprietary Blend
Opus One is one of the world's most famous wines, and is a partnership of two of the most respected figures from Bordeaux and Napa Valley, Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. It was the first premium California wine sold in Europe. It continues to be one of the most expensive Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines produced in Napa Valley.
The collaboration was conceived in the 1970s and then first realised in 1979, when the first vintage of Opus One was created. It was released to the public in 1984, but had already attracted attention, as a single case of the wine had sold for $24,000 at the first Napa Valley Wine Auction in 1981. Opus One's brand grew considerably in the 1990s, particularly in markets outside of the United States, and in 2005, when Robert Mondavi Winery was acquired by Constellation Brands, Opus One also became part-owned by the multi-national company.
Opus One is a single wine, a Bordeaux Blend sourced from the estate vineyards in Oakville, which include blocks of the famous To Kalon vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested, and gravity flow is used to get the fruit from the destemmer into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The wine is then aged in new French oak for a year and a half, during which time blending takes place. After an additional year and a half in bottle, Opus One is released to the market. Although it is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Opus One makes use of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec in smaller percentages.
2000 Opus One Proprietary Blend Firm and structured, with spicy currant, herb, dill and berry, picking up a cedary lead pencil edge. Finishes with a firm, rich core of flavors and tight tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. WS

Training and repeated exposure to odorants leads to enhanced olfactory sensitivity. So far, the efficacy of intensive olfactory training on olfactory function in a healthy population and its underlying neurobiological basis remain poorly known. This study investigated the effects of a 6-week intensive and well-controlled olfactory training on olfactory function and brain structure/neuroplasticity. Thirty-six healthy young individuals were recruited and randomly distributed in three groups: (1) 12 participants underwent daily intensive olfactory training of at least 20 min that included an (a) odor intensity classification task, an (b) odor quality classification task and an (c) target odor detection task, (2) 12 participants underwent an equivalent visual control training, and (3) 12 control individuals did not participate in any training. Before and after the training period, all participants performed a series of olfactory tests and those from groups 1 and 2 underwent structural magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, from which we obtained measures such as cortical thickness and tissue density. Participants improved in the respectively trained tasks throughout the 6-weeks training period. Those who underwent olfactory training improved general olfactory function compared to control participants, especially in odor identification, thus showing intramodal transfer. Further, MR imaging analysis revealed that olfactory training led to increased cortical thickness in the right inferior frontal gyrus, the bilateral fusiform gyrus and the right entorhinal cortex. This research shows that intensive olfactory training can generally improve olfactory function and that this improvement is associated with changes in the structure of olfactory processing areas of the brain.

Q: How do I destroy lights when I'm out of ammo? Is it possible to destroy lights if I'm completely out of ammo?
Attempting to grab them merely boops them with the Darkness, which doesn't seem to do much.

A: Try grabbing stuff from the environment (car doors, metal rods, etc) and toss it at them

Had my appointment yesterday and everything is going fine. Won't be completely healed for a couple weeks, but all looks good and I'm getting back to some blending and website work.
We'll be switching to jars for the shea cream since it is just thick enough to make it a little hard to squeeze from the bottles. I have some pumps on order to try too, but the jars should be nice. Posted a new pic on the Body Shop page.
Going back to work on the new blends and also updating a few scents before putting them back on the website (Gardenia Musk for one). Will post more updates as I go.
Surgery went well and I'm feeling more energy today. I should be productive again in a few days (I see surgeon Thursday to assess healing, but he was very pleased how it went). Thanks so much for good wishes!
The roses are just starting to bloom so I've been enjoying the first cut roses of the season — Abraham Darby and Madame Alfred Carriere are leading the way this year. The deciduous oaks just leafed out in their bright spring green, along with a couple Japanese maples. Geranium Biokovo, leucojum, heuchera, and the crabapple are all blooming too. Robust buds are forming on the clematis. Daffodils and camellias are almost done. I haven't wanted to wear any scent for a few days, but I put on some La Chasse last evening for this spring mood. Hope you enjoy your signs of spring when they come to your area!
Someone recently said he thought I had used grape alcohol in the past for edp, but I have always used specially denatured perfumer's alcohol from Remet in southern California. This type of specially denatured professional perfumer's alcohol is what is used in nearly all commercial perfumes. For the oils, I use a natural pure fractionated coconut oil base. I add no silicones, emulsifiers, sunscreens, or colorants.
I made an interesting discovery about bases recently. A few perfumery ingredients come in crystal form, such as vanillin and some musks. You can weigh them and add the crystals right in when you mix a large batch of a scent, but it's also convenient to have a small amount pre-mixed in alcohol to use when blending tiny batches to develop new formulas. Some perfumers use different substances, like IPM or DPG or BB, to dilute solid chems for this purpose.
I recently smelled BB, benzyl benzoate, and I realized this could be the dilutant that gives me a cardboard/nutty/balsamic drydown from some brands of perfume oils. I've never used BB in my own blends or products, but this explains at least one possible source for that balsamic cardboard smell in the drydown of some scents I've tried. I'm sure BB doesn't have that smell to everyone, but it does to me and perhaps to a few others out there so I thought I'd mention it. BB is sometimes used on purpose for its light scent, but it is also used sometimes in bases with the assumption that it is light enough not to interfere; I can see it wouldn't work for me, at least not in large amounts.
My surgery is scheduled for March 23. I'm getting as much done before that as I can. Surgeon says I'll have complications — not very comforting, lol. It will take a couple weeks to recover. I'll post more updates, before and after. Progress is good on the woodsy scents I'm working on, and I still have several rose variations I'm working on too. Lots to do.
I thought I should give an update on the website plan. I have to have a minor surgical procedure soon and will wait until after that to put the cart up. I'll find out the surgery date on Tuesday. It will take about a week to recover, and then I can get back to business. Meantime, I'm trying to do as much scent blending as I can. The surgery is nothing life threatening, just one of those things you have to get through. I will post again about this when I know the date because I'll be away from email for a couple days at that time.
Been raining pretty much for a straight week now and that little spring teaser feels like a dream rather than a memory. Even lots of snow on the mountains today! Wish I could get a photo.
Had to take a few days off from the rose to work on a couple woodsy blends. I think Sandal is about ready for testing. It's very woodsy with just some light floral notes, mainly jasmine. Might try increasing the jasmine a tad.
The natural jasmine oils commonly used in perfume are jasmine grandiflorum and jasmine sambac. The sambac is a bit muskier to me, but I love both. You can grow the sambac in a pot on your windowsill – they are sold online and are very generous bloomers, even indoors. The variety called Maid of Orleans is an easy one and has a potent scent.
I also grow star jasmine and pink jasmine in the garden here. Star jasmine has a spicy kick to it, and the pink is a lovely powerful narcotic floral. I think the pink may be my favorite of the ones I grow, but it's hard to choose. I've not seen star or pink offered as natural oils anywhere, though some small natural perfumers probably tincture their own. When you see star jasmine or pink jasmine listed in the notes of a perfume made by a company that is not all-natural, it is most likely to be a synthetic recreation of the flower. They are both quite different from the jasmine grand and jasmine sambac that are more commonly used in perfume. Star jasmine is actually not a member of the genus jasminum; its botanical name is trachelospermum jasminoides.

Woodbrook-based Digicel Pro League club, Ma Pau has signalled its intentions of being among the challengers for major titles by signing three players for the 2010 season already.
Following a creditable fifth place finish in the league last season, under Michael Mc Comie and Angus Eve, the Casino Boys have managed to lure Seon Power, Devon Jamerson and Elton John on two-year contracts. The surprise signing of Power from league champions, bmobile Joe Public as well as the Clico San Juan Jabloteh duo of Jamerson and John was confirmed by assistant coach Eve yesterday.
Power, 26, played a key role in bmobile Joe Public's capturing of the league crown and four other major titles during the just concluded season while Jamerson and John helped Jabloteh to the league runners-up spot.
He was also one of 13 Joe Public players due to be out of contract by December 31 or January 15 next year but who were offered new deals by the club. Despite helping the Eastern Lions to a historic five titles, however, including the league crown which secured a Caribbean Football Union Club Championship spot and possibly Concacaf Champions League play, Power has decided leave the Lion's Den.
The 23-year-old John was also set to be out of contract at the end of the year and was offered a new deal by re-installed Jabloteh coach, Englishman Terry Fenwick. However, he has also decided against staying with the financially strapped club. Jamerson, 21, had an option to remain with Jabloteh for another season but has decided against it and made the move to the Woodbrook club.
Eve, a former national player and coach at Jabloteh, also expressed some optimism that the signing of the trio was just the start of a busy transfer window for the club. "We are still negotiating with a few more players and it's hope that within the next couple of days or so we will be announcing some more big name signings who we think can add some positive energy and quality into the team.
The three guys we have signed so far are young players but in terms of the Pro League that are all very experienced and this will surely benefit Ma Pau. Looking ahead to the club's third season in the Pro League, Eve said the Casino Boys as Ma Pau are known have already began to plan. "We intend to resume training on February 1.

Type of Certifier and Autopsy Rates for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome -- Washington, 1980-1994
Performance of an autopsy is essential in attributing an unexplained death to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) * (1). Geographic variations in SIDS cases have been attributed to differences in postmortem protocols and interpretations of autopsy information (2), which also relate to variations in the types of certifiers and their training in cause-of-death determinations. An investigation of a cluster of 20 deaths attributed to SIDS in a county in Washington during 1980-1994 indicated that autopsies had been performed in only 14 (70%) cases. By excluding deaths that did not meet the case definition because autopsies were not performed, the rate for this county was reduced by 30%. In Washington, suspected SIDS cases must be investigated and certified by a medical examiner, coroner, or prosecuting attorney acting as a coroner (referred to in this report as investigative certifiers). The causes of death that are not within the legal jurisdiction of the investigative certifier system may be certified by any other physician (referred to in this report as medical doctor, not investigative certifier). This report examines the percentage of deaths attributed to SIDS in Washington that were followed by an autopsy during 1980-1994 by county, the type of certifier, and the type of county investigative certifier system (3). The findings indicate that many deaths in Washington counties are attributed to SIDS despite the lack of an autopsy and that all suspected SIDS cases are not being referred to investigative certifiers.
Potential cases of SIDS were identified by searching birth- and death-certificate data contained on public-use data tapes compiled by the Washington State Center for Health Statistics. Cases were defined as deaths among infants who were aged less than 365 days at the time of death attributed to SIDS (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, code 798.0) and who were born to Washington residents. Numbers of live-born infants were used as the denominator for calculating death rates. Rates of deaths attributed to SIDS were calculated by dividing the number of SIDS cases by the number of live-born infants during 1980-1994 for each county. Death certificate files included information about the county of residence, whether an autopsy was performed, and the type of certifier of each death.
During 1990-1994, county-specific rates for SIDS, as recorded on the death certificate, ranged from 57 to 652 cases per 100,000 live-born infants. The percentage of autopsies performed following these deaths ranged from 50% to 100% and were greater than 80% in all but four counties. However, when death rates were based only on deaths that were followed by an autopsy, rates for SIDS decreased as much as 33% in some counties. Among deaths that were certified by an investigative certifier, the percentage that were followed by an autopsy ranged from 57% to 100% and was greater than 80% in all but four counties.
Overall, the percentage of deaths attributed to SIDS that were followed by an autopsy was 94% during 1980-1984, 95% during 1985-1989, and 98% during 1990-1994. In general, the percentage of autopsies was higher in counties with a medical examiner than in those with a coroner system, and in counties with investigative certifiers than in those with medical doctors who were not investigative certifiers (Table_1). During 1985-1989 and 1990-1994, the percentage of autopsies increased substantially (83% to 95%) among medical doctors who certified deaths in counties with a coroner system and among medical doctors who certified deaths in counties with a prosecuting attorney serving as the coroner (75% to 95%). However, the proportion of SIDS cases certified by medical doctors decreased from 40% (357) during 1980-1994 to 21% (157) during 1990-1994.

Editorial Note: The findings in this report indicate that because reviews of deaths in Washington by investigative certifiers are neither centralized nor routine, the diagnosis of SIDS varies among counties. In Washington, certification of infant deaths that lack an apparent cause is within the legal jurisdiction of the investigative certifiers system. The type of investigative certifier system varies by county and includes appointed medical examiners (four counties, in which three are forensic pathologists), elected coroners (17; three are medical doctors), and prosecuting attorneys serving as the coroner (18) (3). In 18 states, investigator certifier systems are mixed medical examiner/coroner systems; systems in 11 states include only coroners, and in 21 states and the District of Columbia only medical examiners (3). Because a statewide, centralized investigative certifier system exists in only 25 states (3), postmortem protocols for deaths attributed to SIDS probably vary in other states.
Infants with suspected cases of SIDS should have an autopsy performed by a forensic pathologist who has specialized training in cause-of-death determinations, and the autopsy should include histologic and toxicologic examinations. The quality and interpretation of postmortem information varies (4), in part, because many investigative certifier systems do not have a written protocol that specifies the criteria to be used to diagnose SIDS (5). The College of American Pathologists has recommended that nosologic classifications be refined to reflect the amount of available diagnostic information (6). This would enable analysis of SIDS to distinguish between a thoroughly informed diagnosis of SIDS (based on a complete autopsy and a death scene investigation) and a diagnosis of "presumed SIDS," which lacks quality diagnostic information (6).
Accurate data are needed to evaluate temporal trends and geographic and demographic variations in SIDS rates and to better understand the causes of SIDS. A centralized investigative certifiers system would improve the standardization of diagnostic and postmortem protocols among county coroners and medical examiners. In addition, this centralization would enhance the quality of data for investigation of SIDS and other causes of death that are difficult to diagnose and are within the legal jurisdiction of investigative certifiers. County-specific data will be used to increase awareness in Washington counties of the importance of referral of suspected SIDS cases to an investigative certifier and of an autopsy for diagnosis of SIDS.

El Salvador - Embracing Our African Heritage
...the existence of Caucasian and Afro-Salvadorians, historic West African diasporians that live in El Salvador makes us realize that "the Colour Of Your Skin Doesn't Always Define Your Origins". I made this statement in a speech i gave when representing, Lagos State & the Nigerian in Diaspora Commission NIDCOM, at the Municipal Library in San Salvador where I was hosted by the Mayor of the City's Office for the Afro Descendientes series of events.
I was marvelled to find out that many people in El Salvador who appear totally white or brown-skinned have African heritage as a result of the fusion of cultures, intermarrying etc over the years, dating way back to the 1500AD when many West Africans men and women where brought in as slaves through the Pacific Sea to the region to work gold mines, indigo, cocoa farms and the construction of El Salvador.
I had the privilege of speaking at the University of El Salvador to students, city officials and individuals of African Decent (Afrodecendites). I shared with them the richness of our culture, continent and the greatness they carry within them being African. They were really inspired and uplifted, haven discovered the pride and power of being African.
I feel totally fulfilled to have restored hope and dignity to many Africans in the diaspora. Surprisingly practically everyone in the group photo has African relatives and blood flowing in their veins. We Are One, We Are Afro Salvadorians.

Had to go low rate for this because of heat and working nights at the moment.
Pace and rate coming back nicely. In the middle of doing lots of night shifts but I will fight the erg when I wake up everyday . Moved into the top 100 on the meter board yesterday.
Bit of good news for me. My new rowing machine should be with me in the next 10 days. . . So plenty of meters from me and more challenges entered plus I might even do a few comps in the future.
Got another session in today after some heavy weights.

Life with Lynnie: Good Pleasure!
Here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I'm going to let you know that I had a wonderful day, yesterday.
Yesterday, was our Lord's Day!
Yes, I went to worship. Just as I've been doing with this wonderful church group, and pastor Brad.
I must admit, we had a wonderful time together. Not just worshipping... even though we do have a wonderful time worshipping, together!
One of my brothers in the Lord, M... brought a lot of packages of food and items that people would like to use, at home. Much more, than what I thought anyone could bring!
In fact, M... approached me and insisted that since I have a lot of family members, I should take a lot of those food items. In fact, he then insisted that he help load up my van, right away.
Then, when other church members showed up, they were also given items.
Yes, I took some to a family member that lives not too far from where we worship.
Then, I went to my daughter, P's home. Not just to bring her and some of her family members some of the items I had brought for them.
Since K's birthday is February 14th... Valentine's Day, as I mentioned before. And since P is having surgery this week, as I previously mentioned... they decided to not celebrate K's birthday on Valentine's Day. Instead, we celebrated K's birthday, yesterday!
Thank you, P! It was wonderful being with you and our family members!
And, it was wonderful celebrating K's birthday! Happy Birthday, K!
On my way home, I stopped by my daughter B's home and gave her and our family members more of the items I had received from my brother in the Lord, M.
Thinking about all that happened yesterday, to help others, and to bless others, made me think about how God truly provides. Not just for us, but for others that we can give to and do things for.
It made me think about how God truly did wonderful things for all of us.
This made me think of Philippians 2:13, "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."
Amen! It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
God provided through M, to help others. Then, God provided not just me, but other fellow Christians to do like I did, and not just take items home. But, also to give to others.
It was truly a blessing. So, I thank God.

76 years old and claiming to have 'one foot in the grave already', boss photographer Nobuyoshi Araki nonetheless appears to have plenty left to say. In addition to the large-scale 'Tombeau Tokyo' exhibition at Ginza's Nexus Hall, this summer sees Araki show off new photos at Shinjuku's Epson gallery, where you can admire shots of flowers and dolls arranged and decorated by the snapper himself. The photographs are printed on washi paper, making for a soft touch that differs quite drastically from Araki's signature monochromes.

The song comes from their 'Merrie Land' album
Damon Albarn's the Good, the Bad & the Queen supergroup released their sophomore LP Merrie Land last year, and now they've delivered a video for album cut "The Truce of Twilight."
The clip was directed by the band's Paul Simonon (formerly of the Clash), and it was shot using three iPhones simultaneously.
The result is a stripped-down, black-and-white performance video featuring Albarn, Simonon, Tony Allen and Simon Tong doing what they do best together.

Q: C++ Convert pointer from one derived class to another Say i have a class shape and 2 derived classes circle and square. The code is:
Shape* s1 = new circle;

Now I want to asssigne s1 to square, while preserving the variables that are common to both.
Shape* s1 = new Square;

How do i do this?

A: By using a constructor that takes a reference to the base class, you can easily copy the common Shape data:
#include <assert.h>

enum class Color { red, green, blue };

class Shape {
  public:
    Shape() : color(red) { }
    void setColor(Color new_color) { color = new_color; }
    Color getColor() const { return color; }
  private:
    Color color;
};

class Square : public Shape {
  public:
    Square() { }
    // Using explicit constructor to help avoid accidentally
    // using the wrong type of shape.
    explicit Square(const Shape &that) : Shape(that) { }
};

class Circle : public Shape {
  public:
    Circle() { }
    explicit Circle(const Shape &that) : Shape(that) { }
};

int main(int,char**)
{
  Circle circle;
  circle.setColor(Color::blue);
  Square square(circle);
  assert(circle.getColor()==square.getColor());
}

A: You can use your copy constructor :
Shape* s1 = new Circle;
Shape* s1 = new Square( s1 );

With :
class Square : public Shape
{
    ...
public:
    Square( const Circle& rhs )
    {
        // Copy the value you want to keep
        // Respect the rules of copy constructor implementation
    }
    // Even better :
    Square( const Shape& rhs )
    {
        ...
    }

    ...
};

Don't forget that converting a Circle into Square is a bit weird.
And there is a memory LEAK in your implementation. If you don't want to use you Circle, delete it.
This would be better :
Shape* s1 = new Circle;
Shape* s2 = new Square( s1 );

delete s1;
