"The Upside" Is A Simple, Sweet Film
By Mackenzie Noe 1 year ago
A young man trying to put his past behind him so he can see his son. An old man who suffers at the loss of his wife and his paralysis. A situation where one would think their worlds would never collide.
Starring Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart and Nicole Kidman, The Upside portrays a friendship between two individuals who are experiencing mental, emotional and physical pain due to a paragliding accident and mental pain due to past mistakes. Phillip, a wealthy older man who is quadriplegic (he can move his neck and mouth), is being forced by his friend and manager of operations, Yvonne, to find a life auxiliary.
With no luck, they soon find Dell, a parolee trying to reconnect with his son and make it up to his wife, who is quite different from every other caretaker. From there they learn to adjust to each other as they become acquaintances.
Every actor does a great job, but Hart and Cranston stand out. Cranston executed this role like he does any other — with grace and sophistication. With Kevin Hart, however, it was different. Not that he didn't do a good job — he did. But that's what made him stand out, because this wasn't his typical comedic film where his acting could hide behind the jokes if he wished.
Unlike those, this one actually had a serious tone that had fewer jokes woven into it. Hart, who seemed to be taking a more dramatic tone, is off to a good start with what appears to be his record for fewest jokes. With that said, there's still plenty of comedy due to the screenplay by Jon Hartmere. Maybe even too much comedy at times. In a few instances, the storyline gets a little lost, loses focus and falls a little flat. But despite this, it was a beautiful story, fashioned off of the french film Les Intouchables, which was inspired by a true story.
For Neil Burger, the director of The Upside, this was one of his better films. Also the director of Divergent, Burger seemed to have learned to recognize when to keep it simple, except for the opening scene, which was a little cheesy and unnecessary. Its placement and interpretation was Burger's biggest mistake. However, he did a great job capturing the relationship between Dell and Phillip (Hart's and Cranston's characters) as they navigate their new situation with each other.
A story of friendship, overcoming hardship and finding oneself again, The Upside is a good movie. However, if you're looking for an Oscar-worthy film to see during the 2019 awards season, this won't be it, but it's still worth the ticket price and a trip to the movies for this feel-good flick.

Home Old_Posts Framing the population debate in Africa: Part One
Framing the population debate in Africa: Part One
ON May 27 2014 a story appeared in The Herald citing comments allegedly made by the Registrar General, Tobaiwa Mudede, concerning the size of Zimbabwe's population.
Mudede urged Zimbabweans to stop using some of the contraceptives which he regarded as a ploy by powerful nations to retard population growth in Africa. He also claimed that some of these contraceptives were conduits of diseases such as cancer which is increasingly becoming a pandemic in many parts of Africa.
And, as if to re-assure all of us that his comments were not made off the cuff, but based on careful considerations he also revealed that he had co-authored a book, dealing with indigenous methods of population control.
Needless to say Mudede's comments have since then torched a storm which is still raging in the country.
On one side are those who feel the old man is correct, more so when he is the one presiding over the registration of our births and deaths and over most matters to do with citizenship.
The logic is as follows: surely for someone with vast experience on such matters such as he is, someone who is way past his prime and probably more pre-occupied with legacy issues which go beyond his immediate personal interests, his utterances should be weighed carefully in the interests of policy formulation for future generations.
Mudede has seen it all, especially the grisly harvest inflicted upon us by the HIV pandemic for many years, the frightening weekly death rates which soared up to levels never seen before!
The unsaid argument of the old man is: why resort to family planning methods advocated by the West in most African countries when the HIV pandemic is already culling the African population to worrisome levels?
His logic is straightforward-more numbers means more security and therefore more autonomy for Africa!
On the other side of this raging debate is Professor Marvellous Mhloyi of the University of Zimbabwe, a demographer by profession who is very keen on family planning as a way of empowering women.
She has not hesitated at all to unleash her considerable academic firepower to quash once and for all time, Mudede's views.
The good lady takes no prisoners!
Judging from the article she got published in The Sunday Mail of June 1 2014 entitled, 'Large Population will Propagate Poverty' one senses that she is determined to protect all the gains which have accrued to our women, thanks to birth control measures.
Further, her arguments also point to a desire on her part to protect a whole life-time's work whose results she sees going up in smoke if Mudede's stance prevails.
Her sincere conviction is that contraceptives are for the common good of the nation as a whole, not just for women!
She thunders eloquently and more or less persuasively: "Zimbabwe, like any country, does not need a numerically large country, it needs an optimum population."
This debate is belated, but welcome and should have been held many years ago when the HIV disaster began its grim harvest among us!
Instead, like the proverbial ostrich of legend, we hid our heads in the sand then and simply prayed from one funeral to the next, desperately shying away from talking about the impact of HIV on our demographic situation.
Most of our so-called health partners or stakeholders did the same, some of them going to the extent of over-relying on the name, 'Reproductive Health', instead of the well branded and more revealing one, 'Family Planning', all in an attempt to delink the effects of the well sponsored Family Planning Programme from the ultimate effects of the HIV pandemic!
The painful irony in all this is that the arguments by both Mudede and Mhloyi are not easy to ignore.
Both are on to something fundamental and related to our survival as a people and a nation and a member of the African Union (AU).
Both are in their own way trying to address a myriad of issues ranging from simple numbers and security to gender rights, development capacity and quality of life, lifestyle issues etc. in post-colonial Africa.
Because the issues being raised by Mudede and Mhloyi are fundamental, many, interrelated and complex, all one can do for now is to suggest positions and perspectives from which to handle this unfolding debate!
Mudede's argument is that Zimbabwe needs a bigger population if it is to guarantee that its natural resources remain earmarked for the development of its own population rather than for outsiders who, as history tells us, have not hesitated in the past to use force against us so as to pilfer those resources at our expense!
A small population of 13 million is unlikely to deter hungry and powerful bullies from attacking us and taking over the country.
And Mudede can point out to our past and how Britain moved in uninvited in 1890, used brutal force to topple the African leadership and assumed ownership of all the resources of the country on the basis of the doctrine of right of conquest.
Mhloyi on the other hand is saying that big numbers not matched by availability of resources, health and education facilities etc breed more poverty which, as the rest of the continent shows, is actually spreading.
Put simply, where Mudede is in favour of a big population primarily for deterrent reasons, Mhloyi is for a modest population size proportionate to available resources, facilities and opportunities.
To put this debate into a meaningful context, it is important to deploy raw facts which, hopefully, readers can rely on when reflecting on population issues being raised by both Mudede and Mhloyi:
Zimbabwe is 150 thousand square miles area-wise and is nearly one-and-a-half times bigger than Britain which is only 93 thousand square miles in size!
But population-wise, Zimbabwe hosts only 13million people while Britain is home to 65 million people.
This means that Britain has a population five times bigger than Zimbabwe's, notwithstanding the fact that it is, area-wise, far smaller than Zimbabwe.
The simple comparison between Zimbabwe and Britain outlined above is also easy to replicate in regard to resources which these two countries possess. Zimbabwe is home to far more natural resources, especially minerals, than Britain.
In fact the latter has almost exhausted its coal, tin and copper and has very little else just as the rest of Western Europe has also exhausted most of its minerals and is largely dependent on raw-materials from other continents–with Africa being the main source!
On a larger scale the European Union (EU) today is home to over 500 million people, but its overall physical space can hardly match the combined area covered by the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan combined.
The dilemma for EU is how to feed its industries with raw materials, to create jobs for its youth and sustainably provide for the needs of such a big population.
On the other hand Africa is over 11 million square miles in size and home to just over a billion people.
Africa has all the resources one can think of, especially minerals and crude oil which are coveted by the EU, but its people remains some of the poorest here on earth!
This is part of the background to the population debate that is unfolding in Zimbabwe!

Awst & Walther: A Lexicon of Questions
Awst & Walther are a husband and wife team who create multi-disciplinary art works which range from building a huge wall of melting ice outside the German Embassy to a performance in which the movements of two nude figures wearing ancient Grecian helmets twitch at a grey curtain.
Their latest exhibition, Components, at the Hannah Barry Gallery, brings together four years of sculpture and performance work, shedding light on ongoing thematic preoccupations and material attitudes in the artists' work. This group of works reveals an acute fascination with corporeality, temporality and spatiality, and the experiences and situations that occur from different combinations of these aspects.
The artists employ an array of unconventional and alternately austere and sumptuous materials – gelatine, glass, ice, gold, feathers, tar, concrete, neon, are all used in making painting, sculpture and performance to explore our attitudes towards beauty and human behaviour. Theirs is a collaborative endeavour focused on creating knowledge and meaning, towards a better understanding of our world.
Manon Awst (b. 1983, Wales) and Benjamin Walther (b.1978, Dresden), have shown at Junge Kunst (Wolfsburg), Kunstraum Aarau (Switzerland), Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), Nassauischer Kunstverein (Wiesbaden), Cass Sculpture Foundation (Goodwood) and the National Museum of Wales (Cardiff). Here, they answer questions put to them by journalist and critic Francesca Gavin.
APPLE. Explain the motif of the apple in your work.
We like the ambivalence surrounding the apple – it represents an act of corruption, the fall from grace, but also the beginning of civilisation and the birth of love. We used it once in our piece Temptation where it was placed next to a hand grenade. Both objects are golden.
BERLIN. How does it influence the content and aesthetic of your work?
Berlin is fragmented through its history. There are breaks and interruptions that make it unique. We feel challenged by that. Aesthetically, we love its dark, stark, cold side – we can relate to this.
COLLABORATION. Tell me about your working processes.
We admire each other and like spending time together. From the moment we met we had this need to make things together – it felt very natural. Being in the studio every day is important to us, to have time and space.
DESIGN. How does Manon's background in architecture influence the work?
Architecture is all about how we experience the world – the spaces in which we live and breathe. Manon was very lucky to be taught by inspiring, great professors like Dalibor Vesely and Tom Emerson who opened her eyes to how architecture is weaved into the pattern of everyday life. This knowledge and awareness is brought into the work very strongly.
EXPERIENCE. What is vital to you about the real space, experiential element of your work?
This is what it's all about. It's important for us that what we make is rooted in real human situations, and without that, there's nothing. It's what makes it genuine.
FATALITY. Tell me about the references to graves and death in some of your pieces.
Death is a huge theme. Society is always confronted with it. That we will die one day is the only thing we all know for sure. Therefore, actually, how can death not always be there in the back of our minds?
GOLD. What do you find inspiring about the alchemical nature of gold?
Gold elevates. In alchemy it's the purest material. It has something sacred and eternal, which completely draws you in. We would like to have more of it.
HOLES. Explain their role in your work.
Holes or voids represent what cannot be explicitly articulated, what is left open to be investigated. They always question what's on the other side. There's this sentence in a play we wrote that describes the hole becoming wider and wider, deeper and deeper until it envelopes everything, until there's nothingness. Holes hold an incredible sense of possibility.
IDEAL. What attracts you to ideas about beauty and the ideal?
The false sense of meaning that society gains from this. It represents a strange form of denial. We think society needs a radical rethinking of values…
JELLY. What about gelatine do you find interesting as a material?
It's skin and bones transformed for commodity purposes. So in a strange way it is a metaphor for the modern human being. It is a visceral material and can be cast into any form. Using it is almost re-modelling something of the body itself.
INFLUENCES. What artists and artworks have influenced your practice the most and why?
Artists who are bold and curious, and who's work we always return to. We are broadly influenced by visual artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, philosophers – figures who make us discover something new about the world.
LANGUAGE. What do you find interesting about the creation of your own creative language?
To formulate something very precisely is our intention – we think this is how the creative language takes shape.
MATERIALS. There is a strong focus in your work on the nature of materials. How and why do you choose the materials you work with?
The use of a specific material comes from the need to communicate on a very elementary level. It's often not a matter of choice.
NOTES. Are writing and scripts part of the process of creating your performance work?
Yes, they are a way of getting our thoughts and discussions manifested so that they don't get lost in the process of making. We often come back to a thought after some time – this is because it's all jotted down or sketched somewhere.
OPTIMISM. Do you see your work as optimistic?
We wouldn't like to brand our work as optimistic – we never think in these categories. Energy is more interesting for us.
PERFORMANCE. How do you conceive your performance works and what holds them together?
First of all, we call our performance work 'Performative Investigations'. This puts focus on the process and exploration rather than on presentation, which liberates us. Ultimately we consider everything we do to be work in progress – it's all connected.
QUEST. Do you see part of the motivation behind your practice as the quest for the sublime?
No, it's much simpler. We want to make the most of being human and part of society. Art provides us with the means to discover, understand and contribute.
REMNANTS. What do you find interesting about the remains and documentation of your performance pieces?
That they gain a life of their own after the performance has taken place. People are open to interpret the fragments as they will, and they sometimes gain new meanings.
SEXES. What interests you about the duality of male and female in your work?
This duality is unavoidable in our working together, but gender is not so interesting for us.
THEATRE. How important is the location and sense of space in your performance?
We are sensitive to space. It influences in every case and sometimes even directly instigates a performance. It really depends.
UTOPIA. Many of your shows have had utopian or dystopian titles. Why?
We hate the word utopia. It's worn out and always disappointing. But of course we can't lock ourselves away from having dreams and visions.
VISCERAL. What do you find interesting about the visceral nature of your sculptures?
That they embody something very human.
WHITE. What has drawn you towards white and black? Explain the largely monochrome nature of your works.
We love de-saturation, which maybe comes from the places we grew up. But we also love colour.
EXtraction. How do your drawing pieces fit with your practice?
They are notes, reminders, a way of working through ideas.
Yesterday. What is the role of history and the past in your works?
History is unavoidable – we are part of it, every moment.
ZYMOSIS. What do you find interesting about ideas of destruction and decay in your performance works?
That it represents time passing, death, and the very nature of being.

What's The Best Whiskey For Shots? Our 10 Picks (2023)
December 29, 2022 5:08 am September 16, 2022 4:28 am by Lydia Martin
There's no better way to reduce stress than a few shots of your favorite liquor. And a party is not a party without booze.
Though whiskeys are known to be great for shots and sipping sessions, some brands excel at the job and overshadow the others.
Let's take a look at what's the best whiskey for shots and why.
Top 10 Whiskeys Perfect For Shots
10. Highland Park 30 Years Old
Average Price: Around $1,200 per 750 ml
Distillery: Highland Park
Alcohol Content: 48.1% ABV
Why We Like It: This 30-year-old Scotch single malt whisky is a masterpiece, especially for shots. The high age statement offers exceptional balanced seductive sweet, and delicate smokiness.
This whiskey offers an exquisite tasting experience befitting its price.
Read: Our Favorite Scotch Whiskies Below $200
9. Jameson Irish Whiskey
Average Price: Around $30 per 750 ml
Distillery: Jameson Distillery
Alcohol Content: 40% ABV
Why We Like It: Jameson Irish whiskey is a top seller in the market. The light and smoothness of this whiskey are perfect on the rocks or in your favorite cocktail mix.
This spirit is one of the reasons why people are discovering Irish whiskeys again.
8. Gentleman Jack
Distillery: Jack Daniel Distillery
Why We Like It: True to its marketing campaign, Gentleman Jack is ultimately smooth. Others may see it as bland or just plain, but it is one of the most sought-after for light whiskey fans.
Bottled at 80 proof, the double charcoal mellowing distinguishes it from the original Jack Daniel's and perhaps what makes it special.
7. Bulleit Bourbon
Distillery: Bulleit Distilling Co.
Why We Like It: Bulleit bourbon's most remarkable trait is its spiciness. The extra spicy notes on this bourbon make it perfect for straight shots.
Bulliet bourbon is also a perfect mixer for cocktail recipes, especially if you want an extra kick of spicy notes.
6. Buffalo Trace Bourbon
Distillery: Buffalo Trace
Why We Like It: Buffalo Trace is "extremely drinkable" for all types of bourbon drinkers. It is surprisingly robust for its price range.
Overall, you get what you expect from the famed Buffalo Trace Distillery, which produces several phenomenal brands.
5. Belle Meade Honey Cask Bourbon
Distillery: Nelson's Green Brier Distillery
Why We Like It: This bourbon is extremely rare (about 1500 bottles per release only) and extremely honeylicious.
The lengthy process of this honey cask bourbon really worked out as there are always honey notes from nose to palate until the finish. But how will you take a shot without tasting it?
4. Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey
Average Price: Around $24 per 1-liter
Distillery: Beam Suntory
Why We Like It: According to research, Jim Beam was the top-selling bourbon in the world in 2020. This bourbon has no additives or coloring, which makes it great for sips and straight shots.
This seven-generation bourbon has almost become the standard bourbon in its price range. This bourbon has almost a bit more of everything and is well patronized.
3. George Dickel Rye Whiskey
Distillery: MGP Distillery
Why We Like It: If you are on an adventure for a spicy and unusual mix of bourbon, then this rye whiskey is perfect for you.
The pleasant aroma and mild taste are in perfect harmony. This is a good bourbon that doesn't hurt your head or your pocket.
Read: Fat-Washing Whiskey Guide
2. Evan Williams Bourbon
Distillery: Heaven Hill Distillery
Why We Like It: Produced from Kentucky's first distillery, this Evan Williams flagship bourbon justifies itself as the second best-selling bourbon in the world.
You'll taste competitive flavor notes at an affordable price with almost no signs of immaturity, as you usually had in its price range. Overall, the bourbon is cost-effective and very likable.
1. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey
Why We Like It: Jack Daniel's is widely available anywhere, and people love its authenticity as one of the classics. It's smooth, enjoyable, and easy to find, perfect for shots.
This underrated whiskey doesn't become a top-selling for no reason. It's just simply great and unforgettable.
Is Whiskey Great For Shots?
Yes, whiskey is great for shots. According to experts, compared to tequila and vodka, whiskeys are balanced. The alcohol volume is not too high, and the taste is great, even in straight shots.
A shot of whiskey a day also has some health benefits, like lowering the risks of strokes, blood clots, and heart attacks [1].
What is a normal shot of whiskey?
A normal shot of whiskey is around 1.5 fluid ounces or 44 ml. Though there is no formal or official measurement, it is the standard size in most states.
Is four shots of whiskey a lot?
No, four shots (about 1.5 fl oz. each) of whiskey could be the standard measurement for an average person to get intoxicated or drunk.
More than four shots can be considered a lot and might cause hangovers depending on the level of alcohol tolerance.
How much is a regular whiskey shot?
Generally, a regular whiskey shot may cost between $4 and $15 for a shot at an American bar. The liquor type and liquor brand may affect its pricing.
There are many great whiskeys for shots, but Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey, Evan Williams bourbon [2], and George Dickel rye whiskey are some of our favorites.
Each whiskey on the list has a unique flavor profile that makes it perfect for neat shots or on the rocks. Whether you're looking for a smooth and mellow whiskey or a bold and powerful one, there's sure to be a bottle on this list that suits your taste.

What Alcohol Is In Truly Hard Seltzer? Answered (2023)
20 Easy Tequila Drinks & Cocktails (2023 Updated)


In an apparent government crackdown on corruption and money laundering, Brazilian cryptocurrency exchanges have been given a 14-point survey to fill out detailing a number of areas in their operations.
Local news outlet Portal do Bitcoin covered the incident in an exclusive piece after obtaining a copy of the document that was served to the exchanges, despite the message being signed by the prosecutor Ana Paula Bez Batti warning that the dissemination of the message is prohibited by law.
The questionnaire covers a number of topics that will supposedly contribute to the study of combating corruption and money laundering in Brazil, and covers topics including compliance issues, limits offered to customers in relation to declared income, control over the number of operations, control over the originator's identification, hashes of the portfolios and data of the partners themselves.
The Ministry of Finance supposedly issued the questions as part of a stealth dossier "to protect the integrity of the financial system". Each brokerage was notified they had five days to respond, with the data promised to be kept entirely confidential.
What do the exchanges say?
Portal do Bitcoin contacted three of the countries top 10 exchanges by trading volume, each giving a different response to how they are handling the situation and each wished to remain anonymous. One has been fully compliant, answering each question and has already sent its response. Another claims they do not know if they have received it but are looking onto all possible communication channels.
The final exchange to comment said they do not have any plans to respond to the survey, as it was not sent as an official document from the Brazilian government but rather sent through its contact form. As most inquiry forms on similar platforms send an automated reply, it is unlikely they will be able to claim they never received the survey when the government approaches them.

Shimon Safa Elementary School has welcomed students of many faiths for years, and now the Christian school has opened again, thanks to the residents of the city.
Volunteers help rebuild Shimon Safa Elementary School in Mosul, Iraq. Seen in a still from a video uploaded July 29, 2018.
School bells finally rang at Shimon Safa Elementary School this fall, Mosul's oldest Christian school that had been closed for four years.
The school, also called the Shimon Safa Institute, is located next to the 9th century Shimon Safa Church and the monastery, which is known as the Shimon Safa priestly institute. The elementary school used to be one of 20 Christian schools in the multifaith city until the 1980s. Most of these schools were closed gradually in the three turbulent decades that followed the 1990 Gulf War, particularly in 2014-17 when the city was constrolled by the Islamic State (IS).
The return of the 400 students, between the ages of 6 and 12, to the classrooms of Shimon Safa Institute on Sept. 30 illustrates that the city is recovering, after IS displaced the city's Christians during the 2014 invasion, banned non-Islamic rituals, destroyed churches and imposed its extremist beliefs.
Allaf said, "The school was under the supervision of the Christian monastery but its students were not only Christians; it offered an education to students from all religions."
The school is an annex to the renowned Shimon Safa, or St. Peter's Church, a Chaldean church that dates back to the 9th century. "The church was restored in 1864 and was named after Shimon Safa. The school was founded as an annex to it and named after the saint as well," Allaf added.
The reopening of the church is largely due to the efforts of the residents of Mosul, particularly private donors and volunteers who repaired the partially damaged building.
School principal Ahmed Thamer al-Saadi told Al-Monitor that the renovation was due to the efforts of "volunteers and donors from the city," who collaborated with the Directorate of Education and the school administration.
Reports indicate that Shimon Safa Institute faces similar challenges as other schools in the areas liberated from IS, as it lacks funding and stationery, and its classes are overcrowded; 2,500 schools in Ninevah, Anbar, Salahuddin, Diyala, Kirkuk and Baghdad have suffered due to the war. They need funding from the state to become operational again.
There is a pressing need to bring back life to the areas liberated from IS, especially Mosul whose education sector has suffered, with 89 schools no longer operational due to the destruction. Cultural and educational symbols, especially schools of minorities, are being renovated to restore the residents' trust in their community and provide them with a role in rebuilding their future.

Q: AngularJS counting radio buttons and undefined value after passing in param I spent hours trying to figure out how to count radiobuttons. also I encounter another problem which when I pass value to ng-change that particular value becomes "undefined". so my question is how would I go about passing that value.Also if anyone could help me with the radio button couting that would be awesome.
I only want to count radio button which value is not 0.
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/content/css/styles.css" type="text/css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/content/css/font-awesome.min.css">

    <form ng-controller="MainCtrl">

                    <input type="radio" name={{item.name}} ng-change="updateTotal(item)" ng-model="item.value">
                    {{item.name}}

            Total checked: {{totalSelected}}

    </form>

js file:
var app = angular.module('myapp', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) {

    $scope.init = function () {
        $scope.data = $scope.createData();
        $scope.totalSelected = 0;

                'name': 'cow',
                'selected': false,
                'value': 1
            },
            {
                'name': 'cow',

        } else {
            $scope.totalSelected--;
        }
    }
    $scope.init();
});

console log:
{name: "cat", selected: "false", value: undefined, $$hashKey: "object:10"}
{name: "cat", selected: "false", value: undefined, $$hashKey: "object:11"}

A: Use value="{{item.value}}" to assign a value to radio button like following snapshot:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<form ng-controller="MainCtrl">

                    <input type="radio" name={{item.name}} ng-change="updateTotal(item)" ng-model="item.value" value="{{item.value}}">
                    {{item.name}}

            Total checked: {{totalSelected}}

    </form>

A: Try with ng-click to invoke function and use ng-checked for selected property. :)

This is a neutral seated posture, and one you can use if ever you have to sit on the floor. It's a lovely posture for meditating in. 'Sukha' means 'easy' in Sanskrit. If it looks simple it's because it is, but improving your seated posture is important!
My personal preference is one foot in front of the other, but find what is comfortable for you!
Come to a seated position and move the fleshy part of the buttocks out to the sides if required, so that you are comfortably on your seat bones.
Cross the legs so that the feet are either directly under the knees, or so that one foot is in front of the other in front of you.
Ground down through the lower body and let it be heavy and comfortable.
Lengthen through the spine and slightly tuck the chin towards the chest to find length in the neck.
Hands may rest on the knees or thighs, be in a mudra, or at the heart centre.
The knees should either be in line with the hips or lower, so some people find this easier by having the seat bones elevated on a folded blanket or a block.
Do not force the knees down, use blocks or supports underneath them if you need to.
It is natural that sitting with one dominant leg on top will feel more natural, so make an effort to cross the legs the other way on a regular basis to balance out both sides of the body.
If the knees are injured or sore in this position, you may prefer to sit with your legs underneath you in Vajrasana.

Q: How to render components when componet tags are in a string? I am getting on string from a rest API containing component tags.
Following is example string:-
let stringFromAPI = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, <TooltipComponent>consectetur</TooltipComponent> adipiscing elit. Non enim, <ButtonComponent>si omnia</ButtonComponent> non sequebatur, idcirco non erat ortus illinc. Re mihi non aeque satisfacit, et quidem locis pluribus. Ita relinquet duas, de quibus etiam atque etiam consideret. Ad <TooltipComponent>corpus</TooltipComponent> diceres pertinere-, sed ea, quae dixi, ad corpusne refers?"

When I am rendering it components are displayed as text instead of rendering.
How can i make components in string rendered?
    render() {
        return ( <div>{stringFromAPI}</div>
    )
}

dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: rawMarkup}} renders only html elements not react components.

A: I assume you have access to backend source code. In this case, you will need to render React components to string first then concatenate and append them to the DOM in front-end.
Use ReactDOMServer.renderToString to translate React component into string.
This JSFiddle may give you an idea.


Tried and give soft texture. But the center collapse and not blossom. May I know is the batter about the same height as the baking pan before sending into oven? Thinking is it without support from the side the cake will rise and blossom. Thanks in advance.
It seems mine also has about the same height like yours. Thanks for the phot!
Fyi I beaten my whites till stiff stage, do you think it that the possibility the center collapse?
I bake mine at 130C first then 150C for the rest of baking time (which I used to bake my sponge cake). It rise beautifully but sink once it is fully cooked. Do you think the oven temperature still too high and cause the cake rise too fast and sink once cooked?
hi, i beat egg whites till soft stage, and i bake at 170C from beginning till the end.
Hi! Your cake is beautiful !
I have problem with the cut too. Can I know whether I should cut deep or lightly? What is the correct way, many thanks!
hi, i cut about 1 inch deep.
I think my previous comment went missing. I wanted to thank you for posting the photo, I really appreciate it.
Thank you so so much Siew Hwei!


Inspire! Employee volunteers help Year 7 pupils build confidence at secondary school - Inspire!
Volunteers from Linklaters and UBS have been taking part in our Challenge Mentoring programme, now in its fifth year running. Designed to raise the confidence of pupils struggling with the transition to secondary school, students referred to the programme may have special educational needs, low self-esteem, difficulty communicating or be finding it difficult to participate in class.
The programme, developed by Inspire's Additional Needs Team, uses motivational resources and coaching techniques to enable young people to make a change in their lives. Each week the students set mini-targets for themselves, working towards a larger 'Personal Challenge' to complete with their mentor's support.
After undergoing specialist training delivered by experienced Inspire! staff, volunteer mentors met the pupils in a team bonding session before being paired up.
12 year old Adrian from Duke's Academy was matched with Sahana, a trainee solicitor from Linklaters. Sahana committed an hour each week to support him with the difficulties he was facing at his new school.
Adrian thinks that his mentor has taught him lots of ways to be more organised. However, the best thing about coming to Linklaters is free hot chocolate from the staff canteen!
68 pupils from Duke's Academy and Bridge Academy have taken part in the programme so far, with 100% agreeing that Challenge Mentoring had helped them feel more confident at school. To find out more about taking part, get in touch with our Additional Needs Team.

You may not think that cooking a seabass would be a natural entry point to talking about the illegal blockade on Gaza and discussing the call to stop Arming Israel, but we discovered at Greenbelt that it was the most perfect way to bring people to the table to enjoy Palestinian culture and food while talking about the very difficult situation there.
We heard from various people how despite knowing a lot about the situation and despite visiting many times, they didn't know that Palestinian fisherman in Gaza have a fishing restriction of just three nautical miles and are routinely attacked by the Israeli army. Now, thanks to the seabass that we stuffed and cooked they do.
We were lucky enough to have three cooking sessions hosted by Amos Trust where we cooked delicious food and spoke about Palestine, intertwining recipes, Phoebe's personal family history as a displaced Palestinian and talking about the political situation and important topics such as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and Morally Responsible Investment, as well ethical tourism and food as protest. We spoke to hundreds of people and brought so many new people to the struggle which was great.
Please read below for the recipes from the sessions and praise for the cooking sessions.
Thank you so much for all of our friends, supporters, community members and trustees who came to Greenbelt to support our Advocacy Officer, Phoebe Rison and our Chair Chris Rose cook Palestinian food and talk about Palestine. Many Thanks to Phoebe's Mama, Nadia Aranki-Stoves, for sharing her recipes with us.

In NASP's view, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) must better align their incentives with the ultimate payer – the consumer. The association emphasizes its support for previous CMS proposals that address pharmacy price concessions, otherwise known as DIR (direct and indirect remuneration) and post-adjudication fees. The collection of these fees, which may be assessed months after claims are submitted and reimbursed, can provide an incentive by a PBM or plan sponsor for higher drug list prices and higher rebates according to NASP. As a result, this practice creates uncertainty for specialty pharmacies and can threaten the pharmacies' ability to provide high-touch services that are essential for optimal clinical outcomes for patients with complex health conditions.
NASP believes this model can drive higher prices and shift more drug costs onto the shoulders of Medicare beneficiaries, the Medicare trust fund, and, ultimately, to taxpayers. NASP recommends reform that would ensure that DIR and administrative fees be based on quality or performance measures specific to specialty pharmacies; metrics that are determined by the "broad stakeholder community." Consumers and taxpayers will continue to overpay for life-saving drugs, NASP says, until measures are appropriately applied to specialty drugs and services and such fees should be suspended for the time being.
Drug manufacturer rebates can comprise a significant share of DIR fees. HHS recently submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a proposed rule entitled "Removal of Safe Harbor Protection for Rebates to Plans or PBMs Involving Prescription Pharmaceuticals and Creation of New Safe Harbor Protection."  Manufacturers typically pay rebates to PBMs in connection with the purchase of the manufacturer's products and formulary placement. Consequently, such rebates can potentially implicate federal and state anti-kickback laws. Although the proposed rule has not been publicly released, there is speculation that safe harbor protection under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute should be removed (or significantly revised) for prescription drug rebates involving PBMs.
NASP says that significant transparency issues exist for specialty pharmacy network inclusion. According to NASP, the in-network "specialty pharmacy by drug" is only known by the plan sponsor or PBM, leading to beneficiary and prescriber confusion and unnecessary administrative costs. To increase CMS visibility into specialty drug access and to enhance network adequacy requirements, NASP suggests that HHS require each plan sponsor to submit a listing of every in-network "specialty pharmacy by formulary drug." NASP also recommends that CMS require that additional information be included in the beneficiaries' Explanation of Benefits and in the Annual Notice of Change regarding which drugs are provided by pharmacies that are in-network, in a preferred network or out-of-network.
To reinforce competition among specialty pharmacies in order to reduce costs and improve quality, NASP urges HHS to define "specialty pharmacy" and amend "any willing provider" (AWP) terms and conditions. Currently, network adequacy requirements and convenient access standards only apply to pharmacies in general. According to NASP, PBMs that own specialty pharmacies can have incentives to utilize these broad terms to exclude independent specialty pharmacies from gaining in-network status in plans they manage. By defining specialty pharmacy to support care management of patients with serious health conditions, CMS can better determine whether access to specialty drugs are meeting the ideal. Additionally, NASP says that current AWP requirements that mandate reasonable terms and conditions do not protect against unreasonably low reimbursement rates, defeating congressional intent to lower prices by encouraging competition in the marketplace.
NASP is also opposed to other PBM requirements that it believes lessen competition between independent and PBM-owned specialty pharmacies, such as accreditation by the PBM. According to NASP, this process has required independent specialty pharmacies to disclose detailed business processes as well as other proprietary and competitively sensitive information. NASP supports the use of independent, third-party accrediting bodies, such as URAC, the Joint Commission, and ACHC to drive competition to provide quality patient care.
NASP encourages CMS to enhance its Medicare Advantage and Part D Star Ratings by reforming the program to apply to in-network "specialty pharmacies by specialty drug." Greater transparency in specialty pharmacy networks not only enhances the benefit of competition, but also augments consumer choice and streamlines the administration of services.
NASP cautions HHS as the agency considers moving drugs, or classes of drugs, from Part B to Part D. Although some drugs covered under Part B are now able to be self-administered or provided in an outpatient setting, NASP advises that HHS should fully understand the impact to beneficiary out-of-pocket costs should certain drugs transition to Part D. As some beneficiaries currently do not have coverage under Part D, a new policy would need to incentivize these seniors to participate in the program. NASP suggests also that while transitioning some drugs from Part B may increase price competitiveness, certain anti-competitive practices it sees existing under Part D must first be addressed.
The Trump Administration's focus on reducing drug pricing indicates that extensive change may be on the way for various participants in the drug supply chain. NASP's comments are clearly reflective of this concern. If you would like more information on the regulatory implications for your specialty pharmacy practice, please contact an attorney in Husch Blackwell's Healthcare, Life Sciences and Education team.

Over the last few months I've become very obsessed with panning products. It's definitely because my No-Buy Challenge has made me take a good, hard look at my makeup stash, but also because it forces me to go through my collection and find those oldies-but-goodies I still have yet to finish, while also weeding out some of the duds I just haven't bothered to chuck. To encourage myself to take my no-buy more seriously, I dug out six products that are near their "end of days" for a makeup project pan that will take me through the rest of the summer.
I didn't want to use products that were almost finished already, I wanted things that I would need to CONSISTENTLY use to be able to finish by the end of summer.
Full size products ONLY. I do a good job clearing through deluxe products as is, but I wanted to zone in on larger products that would be more of a challenge.
If I truly don't like something and don't use it much during this challenge, I will toss it by the end of the project.
So let's see what the contenders are, shall we?
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Cushion Corrector + Primer Duo Yellow/Green - I remember when cushion foundation products made their way from Asia to North America and I was STOKED to finally see them in the market, but my interest has waned since then. You're really paying for the packaging in these instances, and if you don't use the product exclusively, you lose a lot to the sponge or applicator it comes with. This concealer/corrector duo is the last cushion formula I have left and unless I go on a long trip, (cushion foundations are my FAVOURITE for travel) I won't be buying any more of this type in the near future.
Can I finish it? Probably. It's already soaked up quite a bit on the concealer side, so I think the corrector-green will be my goal to finish.
Smashbox High Definition Concealer Fair/Light- I received this product from a friend because the colour was too dark for her, and I was really impressed by the coverage and consistency. I used to wear a LOT more foundation and concealer than I do now and I'm actually surprised this one still has product in it. It blends really well with other products and helps conceal dark under-eye bags, blemishes, rosacea, you name it.
Can I finish it? I believe so? If not though, I think I'll chuck it because there can't be really that much left.
Benefit Instant Brow Pencil Medium - A few years ago I won a GIANT Benefit Cosmetics contest which had over $1000 of products. I managed to gift or trade about half of it to friends but I still have SOME of the products I got so very many years ago. This pencil was my first high-end brow product and it definitely helped me upgrade my brow game. Now I have a variety of powders and sticks and pots to make my brows go from boy-brow to wow but there's a soft spot in my heart for this pencil. I actually only found this in the bottom of a drawer recently, I forgot I still had it! I know it's discontinued now so what better way to send it off than to use it up over the next 5-6 weeks?
Can I finish it? Yes. If this is the only product I use on my brows for 6 weeks I think I can say goodbye.
The Ordinary Serum Foundation 1.1P - For anyone who follows news in the beauty industry, it's been a very strange year for The Ordinary and it's founder Brandon Truaxe. After allegations of weird harrasment, unlawful firings and general creepiness, the brand which is still probably beloved by many, has become a thing we only whisper about. That said, I do enjoy this foundation, so much so that I have less than 1/4th left in my container. It's lighter than my summer skintone so I mix it up with a touch of liquid bronzer and just dab it all over my face as a nice natural-looking base.
Can I finish it? Maybe? This one is a toss-up. I don't usually wear as much foundation in the summer because it's so hot, but I think it's worth a shot!
Essence Beauty on Tour Cream Blush 02 - I've been an Essence cosmetic fan ever since it landed in Shopper's Drug Mart years ago, and I have no qualms saying this Beauty on Tour blush is my favourite cream blush. I use this thing quite frequently but as we all know, cream blushes last FOREVER. This one was actually sold as a lip/blush duo so it's TECHNICALLY expired (lol) but I ONLY use this as a blush, and this thing has never touched my lips. Cheeks only! Fun fact about this blush, it was part of a JUSTIN BIEBER COLLECTION that like, was very very VAGUE about the branding. I think in Canada it wasn't an "official" collab, as it was in Europe so the displays didn't have Justin but online they did.
Can I finish it? Definitely not, but I'd love to make more of a dent in it. Also I love cream blushes in the summer.
Essence Mountain Calling Translucent Powder - I'm going to say something controversial but I don't caaaaare. I honestly don't see a huge difference between high-end pressed, and drug-store ones like Essence. As somebody who has combination skin, I CANNOT do things other people do like bake my face because I tend to get dry on the upper cheekbones/contour area on my face, while I get greasy on my nose/forehead. So my translucent powder is more of a "stop looking oily, girl!" than anything else. That said, I do like to use translucent powder to help lightly "set" makeup in the summer. I have about 4-5 different powders but this one is the one I've used the most often.
Can I finish it? Probably not but I think I can make more of a dent in it if I only use this product the rest of the summer.
Benefit Sugar Bomb Blush - This was another product I received when I won my giant Benefit beauty package. I donated/traded away some of my products but this Sugar Bomb was one of the few blushes I kept, and after 5 years I'm finally nearing it's end. When I got this, I only had pale/light blush products and this one gave me more of a plum/rose flush. What I liked about it is you could swirl around all four colours or kinda dip into them carefully individually. I Do NOT enjoy the brush however, and have been using a baby kabuki brush for it instead, but I do love this blush.
Can I finish it? I don't think I can finish it but I think I can make that pan BIGGER by the end of the 5-6 weeks of this challenge.
And that's it! Think I can finish some of these by early September? Let me know in the comments if you're doing a summer makeup project pan too!


In March 2011, the world of cosmetic surgery was turned upside down. It was during this month that Dr. Kevin Sadati's procedure, the Double C Plication, was published in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery.
Dubbed the Natural Facelift, this surgery has been hailed one of the most innovative cosmetic procedures of this time. By producing the natural-looking results that patients have desired for many years, Dr. Sadati has become one of the most desired cosmetic surgeons in California, in particular in the Costa Mesa area.
Patients who have this procedure performed get the facelift that they desire the skin around their cheek and jowls is tightened up, but their lips and eyelids do not appear to be pulled back on. This is because Dr. Sadati uses an innovative technique that applies a uniform tension to the entire face. In addition to these natural results, patients have found that the recovery is easier than that of a traditional lift, since local anesthetics and oral sedation is used for the surgery. One remarkable fact is that the revision rate is extremely low for this surgery. Dr. Sadati studied more than 1,500 cases, and found that there was a less than 1 percent rate of revision.
In a matter of hours of the surgery's completion, patients will be able to see the remarkable results of their procedure. Within a week, most patients are ready to return to work and everyday life looking between 10 and 15 years younger than they did before. The best part is, friends and family will be left to wonder just what it is that is making their friend look so great. It is a subtle and discrete procedure but still provides results. To find out if you are a good candidate, set up a free consultation today.
It's the most popular facial plastic surgery for a reason. Not only will a Costa Mesa traditional facelift give you back the beauty and vivaciousness of your youth, it also is one of the easiest cosmetic surgery procedures to recover from.
The ideal candidate is anywhere from 40 to 70 years old, and has a strong and definitive facial bone structure. Essentially, the skin that sags around the jowls and neck will be pulled back, and wrinkles around the eyes and nose will be minimized as well.
One thing that is important to know about this procedure is that it does not completely stop the aging process. Once it is complete, the normal aging process will resume for patients. However, many are relieved to find out that the procedure can be redone every 8-10 years if it is desired.
Many patients express concerns about the anesthesia to Dr. Kevin Sadati. The fact that small needles are used to insert the local anesthetic can cause some anxiety, but Dr. Kevin Sadati and his support staff work to ensure that all patients feel calm and comfortable during the procedure. The ability to relax will greatly improve the overall results.
Typical recovery time lasts anywhere from 4-7 days, and most patients are able to resume normal day-to-day activities and head back to the office within a week's time. It is important that patients recognize that their skin has been stretched and is exceptionally vulnerable to the sun's powerful rays. Recovering patients should limit sun exposure whenever possible, and if necessary, apply plenty of sunscreen to protect themselves. There is sometimes mild pain and discomfort after the surgery, and Dr. Sadati will often prescribe oral pain medications to help patients manage their pain levels. For more information or to set up a consultation, contact his office today.
There are many reasons that people who have had facelift procedures in the past find themselves considering a surgery to touch up issues that have cropped up over time. For starters, a traditional lift is expected to last for 8-10 years. At that time, patients can opt to have another lift done or might decide to let the natural aging process continue.
However, for other people, a first lift was done improperly or was done with mistakes, and they did not get the results that they want. For residents of Costa Mesa, there is hope. A revision facelift procedure can be performed by Dr. Kevin Sadati, one of the most sought after facial plastic surgeons in California.
Dr. Sadati has a low revision rate for his own traditional lifts, and he knows the challenges he faces when working on a revision procedure.
Despite knowing it's an uphill battle, there is no case that he deems to difficult for him to take on. He attempts to use previous incision lines to map out his surgical plan, so as to keep scarring on the face to a minimum for the patient. While he is willing to stand up to the challenge of any revision surgery, he notes that it is extremely important that patients recognize that they must have realistic expectations of the results.
The ideal candidate for this procedure is in their late 40s to early 70s, and is in good enough mental and physical health to withstand not only the surgery itself but also the recovery period. The severity of the case will determine how long a particular patient's recovery will be. To find out what will be involved in your own revision surgery, call for a free consultation with Dr. Sadati. It's the first step toward fixing the issue and becoming a better you.


Ask an Expert: What Are the Side Effects of Prednisone?
I am being investigated for rheumatoid disease and am currently taking prednisone. I find some relief with this new drug in addition to the oxycocet. Of course, one of my concerns is the high sugar readings. (19ish) I am usually between 5 and 9. My main concern is wondering what the short-term effects will be (4 Weeks) on my body with consistantly high readings.
The short term effect of high blood sugar readings is negligible, unless they are really high (over 500). You might feel a bit more tired, have to urinate more frequently, and be more thirsty, but other than these quality of life issues, there should be no long-term or lasting negative effects.


AfriForum laid criminal charges against 100 individuals who posted messages containing hate speech, racism, incitement to violence or a combination of the above on social media platforms. The affidavits were prepared with the assistance of the South African Police Service (SAPS) and criminal law expert Dr Llewellyn Curlewis.
"There seems to be a general impression that whatever you say on social media is somehow acceptable and will not have any consequences. Public outrage and media coverage are also reserved for or limited to a select few statements on social media. We therefore invited the public to send us screenshots of hate speech, racism and incitement to violence. The response was overwhelming," says Ernst Roets, Deputy CEO of AfriForum.
AfriForum requested the SAPS to investigate these 100 individuals without delay, to verify the identities of the persons behind these social media accounts and to charge them with the applicable offence. AfriForum also requested the SAPS to provide feedback on a regular basis and also offered any assistance the organisation may be able to provide.
"We are concerned about the intensity of some of the messages and screenshots that we received. Unlike other cases that received significant attention in the media and which revolved mostly around racist slurs, many of the screenshots that we received contain calls to arms and requests or calls to kill or harm people. We are worried that, despite their more severe nature, these cases are not dealt with or condemned in the same manner," says Roets.

Paul Marie Bolo, plus connu sous le nom de Bolo Pacha ou Bolo-Pacha, né le  à Marseille, exécuté le  au fort de Vincennes, était un aventurier français.

Biographie

Jeunesse et études
Paul Bolo naît le 24 septembre 1867 à Marseille. Il est le petit-fils d'un notaire des Bouches-du-Rhône, et le fils d'un clerc de notaire provençal, Claude Bolo. Il est le frère du religieux Henry Bolo.

Il suit des études de médecine pour devenir dentiste.

Parcours professionnel
Bolo ouvre un cabinet à Marseille. Peu après, il abandonne sa profession pour se tourner vers le commerce maritime et colonial.

À la fin des années 1880, il quitte la France, sans doute inquiété par les services financiers, et s'installe en Espagne où il semble avoir vécu d'expédients. On perd sa trace jusqu'en 1892 où il s'installe à Paris pour ouvrir un cabinet d'affaires rue de Richelieu mais, bientôt, un mandat d'arrêt est émis contre lui et il doit s'enfuir. On le retrouve en Argentine, sous le nom de Bolo de Grangeneuve et il se marie à la chanteuse Henriette de Soumaille, laquelle l'entretient. À la suite d'un vol de bijoux commis à Valparaíso, il est arrêté mais sa femme verse la caution. Libéré, Bolo l'abandonne et rentre en France en 1904, s'installe à Paris et épouse une certaine  née Pauline Moiriat, ex-chanteuse de music-hall, veuve d'un riche négociant en vins de bordeaux, Fernand Muller. Ignorant sa bigamie, la veuve Muller devenue  Bolo lui signe une procuration sur sa fortune : Paul Bolo est désormais riche, il  mène grand train, jongle avec les millions, voyage à travers le monde et reçoit fastueusement, en particulier à Biarritz.

Durant dix ans, il se lance alors dans de nombreuses entreprises commerciales, bancaires, philanthropiques. Il fonde la Confédération générale agricole, puis la Société universelle de la Croix-Blanche (Genève) en 1907. Il se lie à d'importants hommes politiques dont le ministre Joseph Caillaux avec lequel il échange une correspondance. En 1914, il devient le conseiller financier d'Abbas II Hilmi, khédive d'Égypte, et reçoit de ce dernier le titre de pacha.

Le , le khédive, nationaliste et considéré comme trop proche de l'Allemagne, est déposé par les autorités britanniques et doit s'enfuir en Suisse. Bolo demeure son conseiller en exil et, sans doute grâce à son intermédiaire, entre en contact avec des banques allemandes et étrangères dans le but de contrôler des quotidiens français et d'en faire des organes d'influence pro-pacifistes (Le Journal ; Le Bonnet rouge).

La chute

En , à la demande pressante du président de la République, Raymond Poincaré, Aristide Briand, chef du gouvernement, ordonne une enquête. Les services secrets français, durant l'année 1917, établissent un lien direct entre Bolo et une banque américaine, J.P. Morgan, sise à New York : divers comptes en France au nom de Bolo ont été crédités d'un total de 11 millions de marks émis par la Deutsche Bank via la banque new-yorkaise.

Bolo est arrêté à Fresnes en . En , Bolo est déféré devant le Conseil de guerre de Paris. Le procès est instruit par le capitaine et magistrat Pierre Bouchardon, qui s'occupa de l'affaire Mata Hari. Durant le procès, Bolo nie les faits. Son avocat est maître Albert Salle. Peu de ses anciens amis témoignent, on notera la présence à la barre de Pierre Ajam, député de la Sarthe, qui le soutient, et de son frère, l'abbé Bolo.

Bolo est condamné à mort le  et le président Raymond Poincaré refuse de signer sa grâce.

Il est fusillé le  au fort de Vincennes.

Cette affaire est à mettre en lien avec l'affaire « Lenoir[Pierre]-Desouches[Guillaume]-Humbert-Ladoux[Le Commandant] », qui fut jugée devant la chambre du  conseil de guerre d' à  et conduisit à l'exécution de Pierre Lenoir (cf. Le Journal).

Rick Ross Says Tour Cancellation Was 'Never' Due To Gang Threats
Maybach Music boss blames cancellation on tour promoter, insisting it had nothing to do with online threats from Gangster Disciples.
Rob Markman 12/11/2012
If you think Rick Ross is running scared, think again. On Monday night, the Maybach Music boss hit 99 Jamz in his native Miami and openly addressed the controversy surrounding his canceled MMG Tour.
"I canceled the rest of the tour due to the promoter, he wasn't really handlin' his business," Rozay explained on air.
According to Ross, after concert promoter Shawn Gee canceled three of his shows without notifying him, the Miami MC pulled the plug on the rest of his dates. "I just felt like that was some power that I needed to take away from homey, so I canceled the rest of the dates that I had arranged with him."
There were reports that Ross had ended his run due to threats he was getting online from a street gang known as Gangster Disciples. In a YouTube clip, members of the organization, wearing bandanas to cover their faces, cited grievances with Ross for name-dropping their chairman Larry Hoover on the chorus of his 2010 single "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)." In the video, two gang members urged the rapper to come to the table and settle their differences, careful not to make any direct threats on his life or make any monetary demands outright.
"Once they began to unravel, I shut it down. Never was it due to any threats," Ross said in reference to three canceled dates, before addressing the YouTube video directly. "Any dude can stand in a crowd with 30 or 40 dudes and everybody real, everybody trill, everybody 'bout that life, everybody gangsta. But when the choppers come out, everybody fold."
Whatever the intent of the gang members, the MMG head made it clear that he has no intentions of backing down or falling victim to an extortion plot. "So if you screamin', 'Cut a check, we need a check.' Ain't no checks gettin' cut. Ain't never no checks gettin' cut. I don't play those games," he responded. "I consider that extortion, we don't play like that.
In his interview, Ross went on to show respect for the GD founder Larry Hoover and talked about his most recent trip to Chicago, the birthplace of the Gangster Disciples. "If I go to Chicago to handle my business like I did, I have no problem goin' to North Carolina or South Carolina where the ladies are brown skin, brown eyes, they got nice curls and they make the best apple pie," he said before barking: "So don't ever get it twisted, Ricky Rozay is a boss."

AI Update: ML Powers Edge Devices and AI Creates New Business
David Yakobovitch Posted on March 17, 2020 January 12, 2021
Enterprises need winning strategies in an AI economy and should start with data strategy, data governance and developing data platforms. As the AI economy evolves, automation¹ is critical as businesses scale operations and drive efficiency in a competitive market.
Some people wonder: Will AI destroy or create jobs?
This question brings mixed reactions but let us be clear here: Despite many jobs being automated by AI, new roles will be created and even surpass our expectations.
Digitization of manual labor from AI has taught us that collaboration between humans and technology brings positive results.
Despite the benefits of AI, there is a dark side too: From super-intelligent systems that will threaten humanity, to deep fakes and bots, AI has the potential of causing damage if unchecked.
Good AI depends on clean data and the same is true for automation in journalism based on data collection.
These and more insights on this weekly AI update.
Dark Artificial Intelligence
Dark AI is a blanket terminology that encapsulates any evildoing an autonomous system is capable of executing given the right inputs (biased data, unchecked algorithms, etc). Below is a list of potential #darkAI scenarios, ranging from economic malfeasance to privacy tampering²:
A small number of tech giants could monopolize the AI economy
Algorithms can manipulate our buying and selling patterns and transactions
AI can help widen the gap between leaders and laggards, the rich and the poor
Micro bits of personal data could help concoct sophisticated deep fakes
The above scenarios have the ability to come into fruition given certain malevolent AI applications, such as smart dust and drones, facial recognition and surveillance, fake news and bots as well as smart device listening.
Drones and armies of undetectable smart dust (or tiny micro electro mechanical systems) can work together to obliterate entire power grids and smart infrastructure systems.
Facial recognition grants autonomous systems the right to millions of individuals' characteristics, which, thanks to cloning and bots, can be mobilized in the form of compromising deep fake images and videos.
Digitization of Manual Labor
Whether AI that digitizes manual labor⁴ makes workers frown or smile will come down to how employers choose to use it.
Denso originated as part of Toyota, which still owns a stake in the company, and like its parent uses the kaizen philosophy of manufacturing, which encourages workers at all levels to participate in improving how a plant operates.
That could lead employees to let workers engage with #data and insights from AI overseers in ways that improve their jobs as well as productivity, says Susan Helper, an economics professor at Case Western Reserve University who studies manufacturing.
However, US plants, even those applying kaizen, don't have a good track record of allowing workers to have much influence compared with parts of the world with stronger worker protections and culture.
The difficulty of balancing workplace data collection with employee trust convinced New York startup StrongArm to limit the uses of its own worker-tracking #technology.
Machine-Learning on Edge Devices
Cartesiam, a startup that aims to bring machine learning to edge devices powered by microcontrollers, has launched a new tool for developers⁵ who want an easier way to build services for these devices.
The new NanoEdgeAI Studio is the first IDE specifically designed for enabling machine learning and inferencing on Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers, which power billions of devices already.
The company first bet on Intel's short-lived Curie SoC platform. That didn't work out all that well, given that Intel axed support for Curie in 2017.
Since then, Cartesiam has focused on their Cortex-M platform.
AI will create more jobs than destroy
Artificial intelligence will either destroy jobs or create new jobs — depending on which report you read.
In truth, it is probably a little of both — AI will undoubtedly replace human workers in some spheres, but it will also create new roles⁶, many of which we cannot yet imagine.
A recent report from PAConsulting, titled "People and machines: From hype to reality," supports this theory and predicts AI is more likely to create jobs than destroy them.
The research behind this report, based on 750 cross-industry businesses in the U.K., found that 32% of respondents had invested in AI and automation in the last five years, split evenly across tools for cognitive and physical tasks. Of those that had invested, 43% reported an increase in jobs as a result, while 40% reported a reduction.
"Our research shows AI and automation are likely to lead to a net gain in job numbers," the report reads. "As some types of jobs disappear, new ones will emerge." These findings are supported elsewhere — the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) also predicts that while AI and automation will certainly impact jobs, there will be no net loss.
Microsoft's AI for Health
Bill Gates is known for contributing to global health through the Gates Foundation. As his biggest legacy, Microsoft is also moving in the same direction. The company is actively involved in helping the world's population to overcome some of the most challenging health problems and concerns.
Microsoft recently announced a new #healthcare initiative known as "AI for Health," a program worth over 40 million dollars. AI for Health⁷ evolved out of the AI for Good Program, which offers general aid to the less fortunate around the world.
The new initiative will primarily focus on health-related problems and the integration of #AI and #tech solutions.
The main goal behind AI for Health is to directly research the impact of AI in the medical field, as well as develop algorithms for automatic detection of diseases and other medical operations.
Besides building new solutions, the program will also work toward making these technologies more available worldwide.
"AI for Health is a philanthropic initiative that complements our broader work in Microsoft Healthcare. We will support specific nonprofits and academic collaboration with Microsoft's leading data scientists, access to best-in-class AI tools and cloud computing, and select cash grants," wrote Microsoft's John Kahan
Super Intelligence and risk to Humanity
Could we wake up one morning dumbstruck that a super-powerful #AI has emerged, with disastrous consequences? Books like Super Intelligence by Nick Bostrom and Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark, as well as more recent articles, argue that malevolent superintelligence is an existential risk for humanity⁸.
But one can speculate endlessly. It's better to ask a more concrete, empirical question: What would alert us that superintelligence is indeed around the corner?
We might call such harbingers canaries in the coal mines of AI. If an artificial intelligence program develops a fundamentally new capability, that's the equivalent of a canary collapsing: an early warning of AI breakthroughs on the horizon.
Self driving cars are a canary.
They are further in the future than anticipated by boosters like #ElonMusk. AI can fail catastrophically in atypical situations, like when a person in a wheelchair is crossing the street.
Driving is far more challenging than previous AI tasks because it requires making life-critical, real-time decisions based on both the unpredictable physical world and interaction with human drivers, pedestrians, and others.
Data Gathering Automation for Journalism
Applied XLabs is a new startup building tools that can automate data-gathering for journalists — and eventually, for knowledge workers in other industries.
The company is emerging from Brooklyn-based New lab, with The Boston Globe as its launch partner. It will be led by Francesco Marconi, who was previously R&D chief at The Wall Street Journal and head of AI strategy at the Associated Press.
The plan is for Applied XLabs to develop products to help newsrooms, starting with The Globe, automatically pull data and generate insights.
Applied XLabs is also the first startup to emerge from Newlab's venture studio program.
AI-informed lead generation
How does Intel, which expects the market opportunity for AI hardware to grow from $2.5 billion in 2017 to $10 billion in 2022, find new customer opportunities?
With AI, Intel detailed a tool its IT Advanced Analytics team developed internally to mine millions of public business pages and extract actionable segmentation for both current and potential customers.
The chipmaker says that its sales and marketing staff have used the new system to discover new leads faster and more accurately than before⁹.
The system focuses on two key classification aspects: (1) an industry segment ranging from verticals such as "healthcare" to more specific fields such as "video analytics" and (2) functional roles like "manufacturer" or "retailer" that further distinguish potential sales and marketing opportunities.
The AI model acquires a constant stream of textual data from millions of sites, updating the multi-million node knowledge graph with gigabytes of data every hour, which then gets passed along to a set of machine learning models for segmenting potential customers.
AI-informed lead generation is fast becoming the norm rather than the exception. Roughly 87% of enterprise AI adopters say they're using AI and machine learning for sales forecasts and to improve their email marketing.
Deceiving AI Programs and Algorithmic Myopia
Artificial intelligence has made big strides recently in understanding language, but it can still suffer from an alarming and potentially dangerous, kind of algorithmic myopia.
Research shows how AI programs that parse and analyze text can be confused and deceived by carefully crafted phrases¹⁰.
A sentence that seems straightforward to you or me may have a strange ability to deceive an AI algorithm.
That's a problem as text-mining AI programs increasingly are used to judging job applicants, assess medical claims, or process legal documents. Strategic changes to a handful of words could let fake news evade an AI detector; thwart AI algorithms that hunt for signs of insider trading; or trigger higher payouts from health insurance claims.
"This kind of attack is very important," says Di Jin, a graduate student at MIT who developed a technique for fooling text-based AI programs with researchers from the University of Hong Kong and Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology, and Research.
Jin says such "adversarial examples" could prove especially harmful if used to bamboozle automated systems in finance or health care: "Even a small change in these areas can cause a lot of troubles."
