After keeping fans in anticipation after 2015's And After That album, GoldLink has liberated his At What Cost LP through RCA Records/Squaaash Club. The 14-track effort features cameos from Wale, KAYTRANADA, Steve Lacy, Jazmine Sullivan, Shy Glizzy and Brent Faiyaz.

Last month, VIBE caught up with the DMV native in Miami to discuss the direction of his latest project. He says the his hometown inspired him heavily on At What Cost.
"The best thing I can do is make the best music I possibly can so that we can go as far as we can, and then point the arrow back to where it came from," GoldLink said. "I'm trying to spread my message that I'm trying to get across and convey it clearly."

He continues: "My biggest influence is my city," Goldlink told VIBE before his set. "There's so much there. We have our own lingo, food, music and culture. Growing up in that city and seeing so many different personalities and hearing so many stories, it completely 100% shaped me into the person that I've turned into."

Goldlink hopes he can be a key in spreading the talents of his area to the rest of the world. While there's been plenty of artists before him to rep for D.C., the rising musicians feels the DMV deserves more shine.
"It's more about the city and where I'm from," he said. "I feel like even just like in general the DMV artist are not really slept on, but they're slept on because there's no history of where it comes from. For example, if 21 savage comes out its so interesting because we've seen Atlanta do this over and over again. Their support system is so strong but we don't have that in D.C. so it's like people don't understand how much we influence everyone and everybody, but we don't get any credit for it. So the project is really talking about the history of where I'm from and talking about it in so many different tones and lights. The point of the matter is making parallels so that it's a worldlier concept."
His At What Cost album is available on iTunes now.

Two Tribe's upcoming Toki Tori 2 has been delayed. It was supposed to be released later this month. Two Tribes announced at their official website that the game will now release next year but no specific date has been announced.
The developers believe that the game is not yet ready. "Toki Tori 2's a personal project for us. It's first game we've made without being tied to a license or publisher, it's something we're putting a lot of love in, and it's something that's just not good enough to be released yet," they said.
So basically the game will be ready when it's ready.
The Wii U version was supposed to release before the PC version but now it will be interesting to see whether they will release on both platforms simultaneously.
Lets hope that this delay makes Toki Tori 2 worth while for its fans.

Testosterone prescribing soars as 'male menopause' is increasingly medicalised
Exclusive GPs are warning that the so-called 'male menopause' is being wrongly medicalised, following an analysis of figures that show a continued rise in testosterone prescribing.
They warn that much of this increase has been due to extra demand driven by more sophisticated marketing of the drug, including claims that it will give men their 'oomph' back.
As a result, symptoms such as fatigue, erectile dysfunction, reduced physical endurance and mood disturbance are wrongly being put down to age-related decreasing testosterone, often labelled the 'male menopause'.
However, research shows the decline in testosterone – termed 'late-onset hypogonadism' – is usually caused by underlying factors, such as obesity and diabetes in older age.
Is the 'male menopause' overmedicalised?
A Pulse analysis of prescribing figures show that GP prescribing of testosterone has risen 20% since 2012, costing the NHS £20m a year.
Some GPs have expressed concern this ongoing trend could put men at risk.
It continues a shift that has seen prescriptions more than double in primary care over the past decade. The overall number of testosterone prescription items dispensed has increased since 2012, with two different drugs – testosterone and of testosterone undecanoate – among the top ten most prescribed controlled drugs for the first time.
Royal College of GPs prescribing advisor and North Wales GP Dr Martin Duerden said he is concerned testosterone is increasingly being used in the UK to treat 'the male menopause' among those with reduced energy and libido, 'rather like oestrogen has been used in women as an "anti-ageing" product in the past'.
He added: 'I think we should use these products very cautiously unless there are clear clinical explanations for hypogonadism other than age.'
But Professor Mike Kirby, GP and visiting professor to the Prostate Centre, London, says: 'Since the introduction of Viagra, and more interest in erectile problems, more men are being tested for testosterone deficiency – that's been a major driver of it.'
He adds the rise shows GPs responding to greater awareness of the problem of testosterone deficiency, and to guidelines promoting testing and treatment of it in men presenting with erectile dysfunction, such as those from the British Society of Sexual Medicine (BSSM).
However, there is still contention around the appropriateness of such recommendations, with some experts advising against treatment in these groups.
Dr Andrew Green, prescribing spokesperson for the BMA's General Practitioners Committee and a GP in East Yorkshire, says: 'Patients with non-specific symptoms or indeed just the normal changes in sexual function that happen with age are influenced by articles in magazines and request testing, which can then result in expectation to prescribe for low-normal readings.'

The sites in Port Burwell are all set within a fairly dense forest. On the plus side, this makes for very private camping, but it also means that the sites don't get all that much sunlight. Access roads can be narrow, we just (and only just) made it into our site with a 34' Airstream.
Making up for this are large meadows dotted around the forest, some with huts and structures where the Park Rangers run educational programs. Great fun, and well executed, for kids and adults alike. The Park is incredibly kid friendly, with a great playground.
The comfort stations and showers are clean, new and well looked after as in most Ontario Parks. Laundry facilities were new, with clean appliances.
The beach is a drive away, which is a bit of a shame, and not all that nice. When we camp here, we tend to do forest-y things and leave the beach to Long Point, next door.
Cell coverage is spotty. Groceries and gas are a ten minute drive away.

Who doesn't want to think better?
If Albert Einstein used only 9.8% of his brain and the the average human uses 3% or 4% (according to www.wiki.answers.com) what is going on with the other 96% or 97%?
I don't know the answer to that and, rather than strain my 3.5% brain power (modestly considering myself to be average) I decided to try to improve my brain power. I found a fun and easy way to do it – playing brain games on Lumosity (www.lumosity.com). It's free to try, so I did. It was fun. I was shocked to find how I stacked up against others in my age bracket and wanted to do better, so I signed up for the personalized membership (I think I paid $60 for 1 year).
Lumosity has games in 5 brain function categories: Speed, Memory, Attention, Flexibility and Problem Solving. These help develop skills like: improving your sense of direction; doing mental calculations; keeping track of different things at the same time; boosting verbal fluency; remembering names and faces, and so on.
You can focus on 1, 2 or all 5 categories – as I did. Every day, Lumosity picks 5 brain games for you. You can even request a daily "reminder" or just play whenever you want to. There is some repetition from day-to-day, but there's change, too. If you don't like a game for some reason, you can skip it. And there's no limit to the number of times you can play any of 15+ brain games, any time.
Lumosity tracks your personal progress. It shows you your 5 top daily scores, and tracks your cumulative average day by day. Your personal stats are then measured against others in your age bracket so you can see how you compare.
My top 2 areas of brain power are memory and flexibility. Problem solving games involve math are my weakest are, but I find I do better if I'm relaxed when I play. Mornings are best for me (but not too early). I do well any time on weekends, if my schedule is loose enough. At work, I play on my lunch hour or fit games around my work schedule, so it's hit and miss.
You can Beta test new games. I'm having fun with Speed Pack – quickly move the camera into a spot in the suitcase where it won't be crushed by another item. Ebb and Flow is fun, too. There's a field of moving leaves and you switch between tracking where they are pointing versus the direction in which they're moving. The time limits add some pressure – but in a good way.
I'll ever compare with Albert Einstein, but I'm hoping to reach the point where I am "smarter than a fifth grader". Moving ahead is better than slipping behind. And standing still is not an option.

Today, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced the Department's intention to establish rulemaking committees on Borrower Defense to Repayment (BDR) and Gainful Employment (GE) regulations. The Department intends to develop fair, effective and improved regulations to protect individual borrowers from fraud, ensure accountability across institutions of higher education and protect taxpayers.
"My first priority is to protect students," said Secretary DeVos. "Fraud, especially fraud committed by a school, is simply unacceptable. Unfortunately, last year's rulemaking effort missed an opportunity to get it right. The result is a muddled process that's unfair to students and schools, and puts taxpayers on the hook for significant costs. It's time to take a step back and make sure these rules achieve their purpose: helping harmed students. It's time for a regulatory reset. It is the Department's aim, and this Administration's commitment, to protect students from predatory practices while also providing clear, fair and balanced rules for colleges and universities to follow."
Due to pending litigation challenging the BDR regulations, the Department is postponing the effective date pursuant to section 705 of the Administration Procedures Act. While negotiated rulemaking occurs, the Department will continue to process applications under the current borrower defense rules.
"Nearly 16,000 borrower defense claims are currently being processed by the Department, and, as I have said all along, promises made to students under the current rule will be promises kept," said Secretary DeVos. "We are working with servicers to get these loans discharged as expeditiously as possible. Some borrowers should expect to obtain discharges within the next several weeks."
Postsecondary institutions of all types have raised concerns about the BDR regulations since they were published on Nov. 1, 2016. Colleges and universities are especially concerned about the excessively broad definitions of substantial misrepresentation and breach of contract, the lack of meaningful due process protections for institutions and "financial triggers" under the new rules.
As part of the Department's regulatory review of its regulations, the agency will also convene a second negotiated rulemaking committee on Gainful Employment. As the Department worked on implementing this regulation, it became clear that, as written, it is overly burdensome and confusing for institutions of higher education.
The Department plans to publish its Notice of Intent to Conduct Negotiated Rulemaking on BDR and GE in the Federal Register on June 16, 2017. The Department will conduct public hearings on BDR and GE on July 10, 2017, in Washington, D.C. and July 12, 2017, in Dallas, Texas.


An Egyptian national has been arrested in Saudi Arabia after he was seen eating breakfast with a woman on a video. She was feeding him by hand and the conservative backlash in the kingdom has been swift.
Saudi authorities have arrested an Egyptian hotel worker who appeared in a video eating breakfast with a female co-worker. Officials have described the scenes as "offensive."
The footage, which sparked outrage on social media in the ultra-conservative kingdom, showed the pair sharing a meal at a desk.
The woman, who is draped head-to-toe in an Islamic niqab, can be seen waving to the camera and feeding the man — who was filming the event — with her hand.
"The labour ministry arrested an expatriate in Jeddah after he appeared in an offensive video," the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
Local media has identified the man as an Egyptian national.
The ministry said the owner of the hotel had also been summoned for failing to adhere to government regulations that stipulate a gender-segregated workplace.
Arch-conservatives widely criticized the video and the public prosecution urged expats in the kingdom to respect "values and traditions of Saudi society."
The incident comes as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is trying to bring far-reaching liberalization moves to the kingdom. Such moves include ending decades-long bans on women driving and re-opening cinemasand allowing some mixed-gender concerts.
The backlash underscores the challenges that the prince faces as he seeks to modernize a country steeped in conservatism.
In April, Saudi sports authorities closed a female fitness center in Riyadh over a contentious promotional video that appeared to show a woman in tight gym clothes.
In June, Saudi Arabia fired the head of its entertainment authority, after a large online backlash against a circus featuring women wearing skintight leotards.
Women in Saudi Arabia are stepping on face veils and posting photos of the act on social media, with some telling how they were forced to cover their face in the conservative kingdom. Others have condemned the campaign.
Some of the activists have allegedly been tortured and sexually harassed in Saudi Arabia. They will go on trial for undermining "the kingdom's security, stability and national unity."
Mohammed bin Salman is set to be the next king of Saudi Arabia. But his reform efforts and vow to "eradicate" Islamic extremism may spark the wrath of the country's ultraconservative clerics.

LDF19 • Discover Hauser & Wirth's Featured Artists
The LDF19 installation at our Marylebone store is a collaboration with global contemporary and modern art gallery Hauser & Wirth. The display is a tribute to some of the most indomitable artists and designers around.
Feast your eyes on a banquet of artist-led design objects and collectibles from some of Hauser & Wirth's unmatched roster of artists. Furthermore, the entire installation encircles a grand table alongside the newly launched Latis and Kolho Chairs to create a unique display. Find out more about some of the featured artists and their pieces below.
Larry Bell established his career by the time he was 30, owing to his mastering of both glass and light. He centres his work around the distinctive qualities of glass and includes both sculpture and furniture design. During the 1960s, Bell was one of the key influencers of LA's burgeoning art scene.
French-American artist Louise Bourgeois is renowned for creating large-scale sculpture and installation art. Her designs were paramount to the twentieth century's abstract expressionist, surrealist and feminist art movements. Educated at the prestigious Sorbonne, she explored themes of domesticity, death, the body and the subconscious.
The installation offers two designs of sterling silver earrings based on Bourgeois' 'Spiral Woman' from 2003 and 'Untitled' from 1995. A limited-edition of 250, the earrings are designed by Simone Rocha for Hauser & Wirth.
Above all, American sculptor Alexander Calder is best known for his invention of hanging mobiles. Despite this, he was a master of many mediums: painting, designing theatre sets and creating prints. Calder had a creative family and therefore it's unsurprising that he was the youngest artist to receive a retrospective at MoMA. Throughout his life he crossed paths with the likes of Joan Miró, Le Corbusier and Pablo Picasso.
The installation presents limited-edition sets of six plates crafted in France by Bernardaud and the Calder Foundation. Founded in 1863, Bernardaud boasts more than 150 years in innovation and creativity within the porcelain market.
Celebrated for his impressive abstract works, the well-travelled Spanish sculptor Eduardo Chillida was celebrated for his work on the metaphysical. Through the use of traditional Basque materials iron, wood and steel, Chillida took pride in simplicity and balance.
The installation boasts Chillida-themed cushions from french textile master Jules Pansu, a special-edition Canadian triptych, handcrafted Italian scarves and pocket squares, a Scottish lambswool blanket and a porcelain plate set.
Conceptual and installation master Jenny Holzer is closely associated with the feminist movement. She sparks political debate and shines a light on injustice through the mediums of LED, billboards and print. Focussing on power, violence and vulnerability, her recent works have been linked to Expressionism and Suprematism.
Matthew Day Jackson
Matthew Day Jackson's artistry encompasses sculpture, painting, photography and product design. He is largely inspired by themes of the human mind, technological advancement and the American Dream. His work is lauded all over the world, most recently as a result of his Kolho furniture collection.
The installation presents a limited-edition of 50 Matthew Day Jackson silkscreen prints printed in London, as well as an MAA game which includes two spherical dice designed and crafted by the artist himself.
With an eye for structure and process, Richard Jackson's Abstract Impressionism-influenced work always comes complete with eruptions of colours. Consequently, this unparalleled craftsmanship and engineering invites viewers to see a unique portrayal of everyday American life.
The installation boasts a limited-edition of 200 Richard Jackson bobbleheads, based on the figure of a baseball player but with the artist in their place.
Annie Leibovitz's career as a photojournalist spans nearly 50 years. She has created iconic contributions for leading publications such as Rolling Stone, Vogue and Vanity Fair. Her unique photographic style allows an intimate understanding of her subjects as is consequently demonstrated in each photo she takes. Furthermore, her sitters include the likes of John Lennon, Susan Sontag and Keith Haring.
The installation presents several limited-edition signed and numbered copies of Leibovitz' Sumo book from Taschen. Featuring a Keith Haring cover, the collectable is complete with a tripod bookstand designed by Marc Newson.
New York-based conceptual artist Zoe Leonard is also a prominent activist for queer politics and AIDS advocacy. Above all, she balances photography, sculpture and installation to explore the prevalent themes of gender, loss and displacement. One of her most famous works is the 1992 poem 'I want a president'.
Italian artist Fabio Mauri's work explores the themes of communication and manipulation through the mediums of film, installation and sculpture. Mauri worked primarily during the post-war years and as a result his art portrays the Second World War and the Holocaust. Furthermore, his traumatic experiences of these events helped make him their most credible illustrator.
From performance and photography to drawing and video, Paul McCarthy's work is certainly renowned for breaking convention. One of the most noteworthy elements of his work is the use of bodily fluids and food as crafting materials. His work explores human consciousness and the subconscious through the clever intertwining of reality, fantasy and popular culture.
The installation hosts McCarthy's limited-edition skateboards for The Skateroom. Intended to be hung on a wall in the manner of a painting, each hand-numbered and signed piece aims to empower youth through artistic expression and skateboarding.
Whitten's self-developed creative techniques drove him away from the 1960s Abstract Expressionism and into a league of his own. His work portrays the varying themes of automation, personal expression, and above all: wide-ranging curiosity.
The installation boasts Whitten-themed silk pocket squares, wraps and stoles which have been meticulously crafted in Italy by esteemed British luxury accessories designer Jane Carr.

Multiple Input Single Output (MISO)
MISO is a smart antenna technology that uses multiple transmitters and a single receiver on a wireless device to improve the transmission distances.
MISO technology can be applied in areas such as Digital Television (DTV), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), and mobile communications. The implementation of MISO would include multiple atennas at the source (transmitter), and the destination (receiver) only has one antenna. The antennas are combined to minimize errors and optimize data speed.

Established in 2010, Cindy Schulze Jewelry is a boutique jewelry line consisting of designs made with 14K gold, 14K gold-filled, and sterling silver metal often accompanied with precious & semi-precious natural gemstones and diamonds. In 2014 she extended the collection to incorporate personalized pieces in which we offer an array of monogram, initial, and nameplate jewelry in the same variety of metals. Our diverse collection involves handcrafting pieces from scratch (metal forming, soldering and manipulation), to putting together and adorning pre-fabricated findings, to our very own sketched and manufactured designs. Everything we sell has been given our own touch -- whether hammering, sanding & drilling metal, engraving a piece of jewelry, adding our own gemstones, or simply selecting a specific style of chain for a curated charm.
Cindy's business began after seeking out beads to restring a chandelier. She became sidetracked with all the gemstones she discovered and instead invested in jewelry making classes. After starting a business she moved into intensive metal-smithing, wax design, casting, and stone setting courses. Cindy enjoys designing simple, delicate, everyday staples that can be worn from day to night and across all seasons, as well as limited production pieces. With Cindy's "Less is More" fashion philosophy and love for nature, our tagline has become Keep It Simple. Keep It Real. All of our handcrafted jewelry is made with love in our Houston-based studio.
In 2015 Cindy gifted her jewelry backstage at the Billboard Music Awards, a three-day event in which numerous swag bags were given away to music stars and celebrity presenters. CSJ was also featured on Houston's FOX 26 to promote the Houston Winter Holiday Art Market's 10th anniversary. Most recently Cindy Schulze Jewelry can be seen in the 2016 July, August & September issues of British Vogue and the 2016 September/October issue of UK's Brides Magazine.

Q: Failed on insert entity with many related entities This is my first post because until now I had always found solution with your answers, until now...
I have three Entities (Bike, Category and Extra) that have some field translatable. I know there is a Translatable Extension in symfony but I discovered a bit late and I have my solution always working.
The thing is I have then 3 other tables (BikeI18N, CategoryI18N and ExtraI18N). These table link with their associated with a column bike_id (for example). Here you have the schema of Bike and Category and their I18N's tables:
Bike:
BEM\BikeBundle\Entity\Bike:
type: entity
table: null
fields:
    id:
        type: integer
        id: true
        generator:
            strategy: AUTO
    marca:
        type: string
        length: 255
    model:
        type: string
        length: 255
    preu1Dia:
        type: float
        column: preu_1dia
    [...]
manyToOne:
  category:
    targetEntity: BEM\CategoryBundle\Entity\Category
    inversedBy: bikes
oneToMany:
  translation:
    targetEntity: BikeI18N
    mappedBy: bike
    cascade: [persist]
  pedals:
    targetEntity: Pedal

  talles:
    targetEntity: Talla
    mappedBy: bike
manyToMany:
  accessoris:
    targetEntity: Accessori
    inversedBy: bikes
lifecycleCallbacks: {  }

BikeI18N:
BEM\BikeBundle\Entity\BikeI18N:
type: entity
table: null
fields:
    id:
        type: integer
        id: true
        generator:
            strategy: AUTO
    descripcio:
        type: text
    locale:
        type: string
        length: '2'
manyToOne:
  bike:
    targetEntity: Bike
    inversedBy: translation
    joinColumn:
      bike_id:
        referencedColumnName: id
lifecycleCallbacks: {  }

Category:
BEM\CategoryBundle\Entity\Category:
type: entity
table: null
repositoryClass: BEM\CategoryBundle\Repository\CategoryRepository
fields:
    id:
        type: integer
        id: true
        generator:
            strategy: AUTO
oneToMany:
  translation:
    targetEntity: CategoryI18N
    mappedBy: category
    cascade: [persist]
  bikes:
    targetEntity: BEM\BikeBundle\Entity\Bike
    mappedBy: category
lifecycleCallbacks: {  }

and finally CategoryI18N:
BEM\CategoryBundle\Entity\CategoryI18N:
type: entity
table: null
fields:
    id:
        type: integer
        id: true
        generator:
            strategy: AUTO
    categoryId:
        type: integer
        column: category_id
    locale:
        type: string
        length: '2'
    translation:
        type: string
        length: 255
manyToOne:
  category:
    targetEntity: Category
    inversedBy: translation
    joinColumn:
      category_id:
        referencedColumnName: id
lifecycleCallbacks: {  }

In my "new" form I have a Category form with 4 embeded CategoryI18N forms. It works properly. The problem is the Bike and BikeI18N does not even if I did the same.
If I write $translation->setAccessori($this); in Bike::addTranslation(BikeI18N $translation) I get the error Entities passed to the choice field must be managed. Maybe persist them in the entity manager?.
If I don't write $translation->setAccessori($this); the form is saved but the relation is lost or, if I set the DB to not_nullable bike_id I get an error.
The most surprising thing that makes no sense to me is that I have setCategory($this) inside the addTranslation of the class Category...any ideas?

A: I resolved the issue.
The think was in my BikeI18N form builder.
    class BikeI18NType extends AbstractType
    {
       public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
         {
            $builder
            ->add('descripcio')
            ->add('locale', 'hidden')
            //->add('bike', 'hidden')
           ;
         }
     }

When I commented out the bike additions the problem was solved.
Thanks for reading!

Smart company owners and executives obtain business interruption insurance — and possibly contingent business income coverage if the operation relies heavily on outsourcing or a particular supplier. The idea is that the policy will compensate the company for lost earnings if a devastating event forces it to temporarily close down.
But the calculations and coverage of business interruption policies is complicated and mounds of paperwork are often required to support a claim. To make matters worse, most policies don't specify exactly what support documents are required and it is not uncommon for claims to be denied.
Depending on the scope of the loss, the insurer may have a staff of specialists auditing your claim. With that in mind, your company, too, should consult an accountant who is experienced in these types of claims. Some policies cover the cost of hiring the accountant.
The accountant should be the primary contact with the insurer, dealing with the typical onslaught of requests for documentation. That leaves you free to get on with running the business and bringing it back up to speed. The accountant will also keep the insurer informed on what actions you are taking and deal with requests to inspect the damaged property, helping to keep the claims process on track.
Help you claim as much as possible. Accountants know what is reasonable and how to negotiate with the insurance company's adjusters and accountants.
Assemble and review your company's documentation. Most policies define losses based on the earnings a company would have made if the interruption hadn't occurred. Calculating the amount of the loss is one of the most complex — and potentially contentious — issues in making these claims (see right-hand box for an example).
Ensure that you have all the financial records the insurer requires, such as receipts, utility bills and vendor information.
The insurer will want to know the income your business was generating before and after the loss. Your accountant can analyze, identify and segregate revenues, costs and expenses, as well as review your company's profit projections to help ensure they are accurate and solid enough to hold up to a potential dispute.
Depending upon the size of your company, various departments can be affected differently by the interruption. Your accountant can determine whether your claim should include statements from department heads outlining specifically how their operations were hurt.
Show how losses were kept down. Your company will be required to detail the steps it took to mitigate losses during the business interruption period, which is the time it took your business to resume normal operations. The steps may involve having to move to a temporary location. The interruption period is critical and one of the determining factors the insurer will use when examining the total amount of your company's claim.
Prepare the loss analysis and formal claim. The analysis should comply with the language in the policy and the claim should be written and organized in a way that anticipates potential disputes and even litigation if your company and its insurer cannot reach an out-of-court settlement. Preparation can help keep litigation costs down.
The calculation of losses is one of the most important and complicated issues involved in business interruption insurance claims.
The policies often state that "past performance" must be considered, but conflicts can arise in determining the time frame used in calculations. One case from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit illustrates the approach many courts take in determining acceptable comparative financial data.
After a tropical storm hit Texas and caused flooding, Houston-based Finger Furniture had to close all seven of its stores on a Saturday because employees could not access the company's computer system. The next day, the stores opened, but operated at different times. The following weekend, the retailer held a discount sale and made a very large profit.
The company filed a business interruption claim with its insurer, Commonwealth Insurance. The claim was denied and Finger sued. Eventually, the two parties reached a $325,402 settlement. The trial court, however, entered a summary judgment in favor of Finger for $342,029.

Q: jQuery - How to dynamically add an element to the DOM? I output several textareas to a page. The textareas have a class of "Expandable".  I used to output a div right after each of those Expandable textareas in my HTML code.
Hardcoded:
<textarea id="NewContent" class="Expandable"></textarea>

I want to change that so that jQuery goes through and finds each Expandable textarea and inserts my Count div right after it.  To do that, I use this code:
$(".Expandable").each(function() {
    $(this).after("

");
});

This gives me what I need. But... because this is added to the page after it is created, the divs aren't being added to the DOM. I need that to happen.
I know I need to use "live" and I am successfully using it elsewhere, but I can't seem to get this one to work.
$(".Count").live();

The count div will be used to display the character count of the textarea above. No user interaction will occur, such as a keyup, or blur.  I haven't included this code because it works perfectly.
EDITED
$(".Expandable").change(function() {
    $(this).parent().next(".Count").html("Sunday");
});

When you type into the textarea, the next Count div should show "Sunday". This works perfectly with the hardcoded Count div but does NOT work with the dynamically generated Count div.
I have made a fiddle of this:  http://jsfiddle.net/EvikJames/qyuQS/2/

A: The problem isn't static vs dynamic elements...they are in the DOM immediately after your .after() executes.  The issue is with positioning here, in your original code:
$(this).parent().next(".Count").html("Sunday");

It is working with a structure like your static version:

<textarea id="NewContent" class="Expandable"></textarea>

However, that's not what is created by:
$(".Expandable").each(function() {
    $(this).after("

");
});

The above inserts the new
 as a sibling to the element it's being inserted after, so .after() means immediately after, creating this:

   <textarea id="NewContent" class="Expandable"></textarea>

With that structure, you simply don't need that .parent() call, it should be just:
$(this).next(".Count").html("Sunday");

You can test it out here.

As an aside, .after() works on multiple elements, it can be brief like my example above:
$(".Expandable").after("

");

A: I made a jsfiddle using your code:
http://jsfiddle.net/jeffreydev/qyuQS/
The Count elements are getting added, perhaps you should add some css to make them show up?
edit:
Or did you mean you added the Expandable textarea's to your dom? and want to add the count underneath them?
if so I would do it like so:
http://jsfiddle.net/jeffreydev/qyuQS/1/
edited again:
As explained in other people's answers, in order to change the html inside an element make sure you target the right element inside the dom structure.
Here is a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/jeffreydev/qyuQS/12/
$(this).parent().next().html('Sunday');

Explaination:
$(this) // get the current element as a jquery object (the textarea).
$(this).parent() // get the selected elements parent (the textarea's parent, the div)
$(this).parent().next() // and get the element that is next to it in the dom structure (which is the .Count element)

Who is Sarm Heslop? Woman goes missing off boyfriend's yacht, he waits for 10 hours before reporting
According to authorities, Bane said that 'at 2 am he woke up and realized that his girlfriend, Sarm Heslop, was not on board'
Updated On : 02:39 PST, Mar 16, 2021
Sarm Heslop has been missing for over a week now who was last seen with Ryan Bane on his yacht (Virgin Islands Police Department)
ST JOHN, VIRGIN ISLANDS: Sarm Heslop, 41, was last seen on the night of March 7, 2021. She went missing from her American boyfriend's yacht off the coast of the US Virgin Islands.
She was staying with her boyfriend Ryan Bane and was last seen aboard the 47-foot catamaran Siren Song, which was moored in Frank Bay, St John, the US Virgin Islands Police Department said. Heslop was reported missing on March 8, 2021, sparking a wide police search.

Who is Lisa Ann Vais? Illinois woman disappears en route to Alabama, phone last 'pinged' in North Carolina
What happened that night?
On Thursday, US Coast Guard spokesman Ricardo Castrodad reportedly said that Heslop's boyfriend Bane told investigators that he and Heslop had returned to the yacht from St John around 10 pm and went to sleep. At 11.46 am the next day, he called the police to report Heslop was missing. This is a nearly 10-hour gap in time between when he said he first noticed his girlfriend missing and when he reported it to authorities.
According to authorities, Bane said that "at 2 am he woke up and realized that she was not on board". He also said that Heslop's phone and other belongings were still aboard the vessel, which was still tied up.
Following this, police and volunteers launched a massive search operation for Heslop, with divers searching the waters along the coastline. According to the latest reports, searchers have found no sign of Heslop.
On March 10, divers from various local and federal law enforcement agencies, and other citizens, formed a dive search party to try to locate 41-year-old Sarm Haslop, who was reported missing on March 8. Unfortunately, this effort proved unsuccessful. pic.twitter.com/u480DVyEAS
— United States Virgin Islands Police Department (@VirginIslandsPD) March 10, 2021
Castrodad said that while visibility and sea state conditions were excellent for the search, divers found no sign of anyone in the water. He told Virgin Island Daily News that there was no evidence to indicate that Heslop ever entered the water.
This raises more questions about the 41-year-old's mysterious disappearance from the yacht.
Who is Sarm Heslop?
From Southampton, Heslop is a former flight attendant. "She's a very smart, witty, sensible, fun person," her friend Vicki Mogridge-Percy told the BBC.
The latest emerging reports now reveal that Heslop's friends are calling for an "urgent and thorough" investigation and search of the boat. "We understand that even now the boat has not been searched by the police," Heslop's friends in the UK have reportedly said. The group of friends have also set up a Missing Sarm Heslop Facebook page to share information about her disappearance. Her friends describe her as a strong swimmer.

They said in a statement, "We are asking for an urgent and thorough investigation. We have heard that Sarm's phone, passport and all belongings were left on the boat, where she was living with her boyfriend. She would not just disappear, leaving no trace. She is savvy and sensible, it's not like her at all, it just doesn't make sense."
Who is Ryan Bane?
Ryan Bane, 44, owns and captains the 47-foot Siren Song aboard which Heslop was last seen.
According to a local report, a friend of Bane's said he seems remorseful since the disappearance of his girlfriend. "He is beside himself with grief and worry," they reportedly said. "He is heartbroken. I know from what he's said that Ryan and Sarm were very much in love."
Bane reportedly grew up in Michigan. He is reportedly a 50-ton merchant mariner with a bachelor of arts degree from Michigan State University. "He had tried his hand at various business ventures, but the Siren Song of the Virgin Islands kept calling his name," a brochure states. "Raised in a suburb of Detroit, Capt Ryan was cruising on his first sailboat by age 10."
According to a brochure for the Siren Song, a six-night charter on Bane's yacht costs $16,900 during New Years.

Zoned Out?
How does the popular eating plan stack up?
Since the publication of the original Enter the Zone diet book in 1995, the Zone diet has emerged as one of the most popular around. Its popularity is evident in the subsequent publication of at least 10 other Zone-based books, with the latest focusing on the benefits of 'pharmaceutical fish oil.' Biochemistry Ph.D. Barry Sears originated the Zone concept. Sales rhetoric aside, though, how scientific is the Zone diet?
Sears bristles when the Zone is referred to as a 'low-carbohydrate diet.' He notes that his plan allows a generous intake of various fruits and vegetables, all having low-glycemic-index numbers. The Zone philosophy rests on insulin control, and in that respect it's similar to low-carb diets like the one advocated by the late Dr. Robert Atkins.
The Zone, however, differs from other diets that claim to control insulin'it demands adherence to a strict ratio of nutrients. Specifically, it mandates that each meal contain 40 percent carbohydrate, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fat. That ratio represents the ideal combination for limiting insulin release while promoting the release of glucagon, a hormone that counters the effects of insulin in the body.
Sears says that Zone-style eating fosters maximum health and fitness by manipulating the synthesis of eicosanoids, hormonelike substances produced from fat. He classifies eicosanoids as either 'good' or 'bad' and notes that when the good eicosanoids dominate'as they theoretically do in the Zone'your body taps into fat stores. The higher protein intake suggested for the diet helps you maintain lean mass during fat loss without promoting excess insulin release.
A recent independent review examined the Zone diet's scientific claims.1 It notes that compared to more conventional diets on a calorie-by-calorie basis, the Zone generates no greater fat oxidation. Surprisingly, the level of insulin released after meals doesn't vary that much either. The author of the review even suggests that the Zone may promote a greater release of insulin than conventional-diet meals. The weight loss that occurs from Zone dieting is more likely a result of its low-calorie aspects. A study published a few years ago calculated that eating the food blocks suggested by the Zone resulted in a daily total intake of only 1,400 calories for a man, which guarantees weight loss in an active person.
As for the eicosanoid concept, whether good or bad eicosanoids are produced depends on which enzyme system is stimulated. One reason that carbs are considered bad when you're on the Zone diet is that they inhibit a certain enzyme system that favors good eicosanoids, but so does glucagon'which the Zone promotes. Sears never explains that notable contradiction.
On the other hand, the Zone does have some genuinely beneficial properties. The focus on maximum-nutrient-density foods and minimum calorie density is thought to be the key to longevity. Sears strongly suggests a generous intake of omega-3 fatty acids, found naturally in fatty fish, such as mackerel, sardines and herring. Omega-3 fat intake encourages decreased inflammation in the body, which fosters good health. Irrefutable research has confirmed as much.
But while Sears' early books suggested getting your omega-3 fats from food sources, he's lately begun selling what he calls 'pharmaceutical-grade fish oil,' and he even wrote a book extolling the merits of that particular oil supplement. He goes further, warning that other supplemental forms of fish oil on the market are basically garbage, possibly containing contaminants that will make you feel ill if you take them in 'therapeutic ranges.'
Sears sells his pharmaceutical-grade fish oil for about $70 a bottle. While his product is probably as pure as he claims, what he fails to tell potential consumers is that none'and I mean not one'of the studies showing the value of omega-3 fats used his fish oil. All studies used either what Sears called 'health-food-grade fish oil,' or (gasp!) plain old fatty fish.
When claiming that most fish-oil supplements on the market are laden with impurities, Sears fails to disclose that any such contaminants would have to be measured in billionths of a gram, or at a level that wouldn't cause problems in any form of life higher than an amoeba. Using Sears' fish oil is a little like putting premium gas in a car that runs perfectly on regular'just a waste of money.
The purity issue is underscored by a recent survey of 16 brands of commercial fish-oil supplements by Consumer Reports magazine (July '03). Two independent labs carefully analyzed the supplements for potency and impurities, and the products all matched their label-value contents of omega-3 fatty acids. None showed any indications of spoilage or rancidity, nor did any contain contaminants, such as mercury, PCBs or dioxin. Unlike fish, fish-oil supplements don't contain mercury, which is water-soluble and stays behind when fish oil is extracted during processing. The same holds true for the heavy metals, such as cadmium and lead.
The Zone diet is better than many others, but the science behind many of its claims is science fiction, based more on speculation than fact. Even worse, few people are motivated enough to follow the Zone diet's strict dictates about portion sizes that require weighing foods and so on. Of course, Sears offers a convenient alternative: prepackaged Zone-based meals and energy bars.

With exterior trim that cries "vintage race car," MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer another this two-toned 1973 BMW 2002 "Roundie." Also known as an E10, this 2002 was the epitome of performance available at the time with the forward-thinking design of Kugelfischer fuel injection. The market for these cars has started to move upward drastically in just the last year, this is a fleeting opportunity to obtain a relatively un-touched version before they get out of reach.
Dressed in lustrous Verona Red (code 024) over black (schwartz) (code 086) paint, this 2002 is complemented by many new trim pieces, a wraparound front air dam, fender flares and an integrated rear deck spoiler. All glass panels are intact, clear and in good shape. The vehicle's lights are all present, clear and complete. All body panels are straight and in good shape; they look especially good in two-toned paint. This car has approximately 11,000 miles of use since its 2.0L M10 engine was rebuilt and it is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Car rolls on a set of gold, genuine BBS "Super RS" 15-inch wheels snug within Dunlop Direzza DZ102 205/55R15 tires.
The stunning interior features a new dashboard cover, black full leather seating, new carpeting, a new headliner and new window cranks, armrests and knobs. There's a sport, three-spoke steering wheel and all instrumentation works as designed. Driver's assist features include power brakes and air-conditioning.
The 2002 joined BMW's model stable for 1968 and lasted through 1976. By 1973, the 2002 came in its best-loved shape, with the rounded taillamps and heavier, safety-mandated bumpers that didn't detract from the car's sporty good looks.
Helmut Werner Bönsch, BMW's director of product planning, and Alex von Falkenhausen, designer of the M10 engine, each had a two-liter engine installed in a 1600-2 for their respective personal uses. When they realized they had both made the same modification to their own cars, they prepared a joint proposal to BMW's board to manufacture a two-liter version of the 1600-2. At the same time, American importer Max Hoffman asked BMW for a sporting version of the 02 series that could be sold in the United States. The 2.0 engine was sold in two states of tune: the base single-carburetor 2002 producing 101 hp and the dual-carburetor high compression 2002 ti producing 119 hp. The 2002 tii used the fuel-injected (130 hp) engine from the 2000 tii, which resulted in a top speed of 115 mph.
This year, BMW celebrates its 100th anniversary. BMW has a long successful history both in Europe and the United States. This is an opportunity for you to acquire a part of that history that made BMW a house hold name in America!

The Amar Quartet, also known as the Amar-Hindemith Quartet, was a musical ensemble founded by the composer Paul Hindemith in 1921 in Germany and was active in both classical and modern repertoire until disbanding in 1933. It made several recordings and many broadcasts.

Personnel
First violin
 Licco Amar (1921–1933)

Second violin
 Walter Caspar (1921–1933)

Viola
 Paul Hindemith (1921–1929)
 Erich Kraack (1929–1933)

Cello
 Rudolf Hindemith (1921)
 Maurits Frank (1922–1924)
 Rudolf Hindemith (1924–1927)
 Maurits Frank (1927–1933)

Origins
From c. 1914 Paul Hindemith, a graduate of Hoch Conservatory at Frankfurt am Main, had taken the second violin desk in the Rebner Quartet of Frankfurt, led by his violin teacher Adolf Rebner. He continued to play in quartets during the war while in military service, and after the war took up the viola and asked to be moved to that desk. He had written string quartets in 1915 (op 2) and 1918 (op 10), and in 1920 produced another (op 16) which was accepted for performance in the new 1921 Donaueschingen Festival. However Gustav Havemann, leader of the Havemann Quartet engaged for it, refused to perform the work, and therefore Hindemith was obliged to form a group to give his own premiere. He chose his younger brother Rudolf (dedicatee of the work) as cellist, and recruited Licco Amar, a Budapest Conservatory graduate and 1915–1920 concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and then of Mannheim National Theatre, as first violin and Walter Caspar as second.

The violinist Licco Amar remembered:
"Shortly before the holidays I [...] received a telegram from Donaueschingen from Heinrich Burkard, a music director completely unknown to me. He proposed that I participate at the upcoming music festival in Donaueschingen, the first of its kind, with another violinist [Walter Caspar] and perform the quartet of a composer utterly unknown to me named Paul Hindemith. I of course accepted with pleasure. Without knowing any further details, I went to the Black Forest during the holidays and received the score and parts of the [...] String Quartet, Op. 16. I would not claim that I understood this new kind of music from an initial reading of the score, but I remember very well that something special grabbed me from these notes: an energy and vitality that I grasped more instinctively than consciously. I was most astonished when I came to Donaueschingen as agreed and was received by two slight young people, who in fact looked like children, at the railway station. One was Paul Hindemith and the other was his brother Rudolf, who took on the cello part in this quartet. These two, who looked so slender, took possession of my baggage – I can still see this before me – and carried it away. [...] In eight days we had rehearsed this quartet very well, whereby both Hindemith brothers proved themselves outstanding quartet partners. The performance was – to put it briefly – a thunderous success."

The performance was duly given, and in 1922 the Quartet became permanent and began giving recitals, specialising in modern music, and was soon extremely busy. Rudolf Hindemith, who found working under his brother's authority irksome, left and was replaced, but returned for a period during which the quartet's recordings were made and the London (BBC sponsored) debut was given (December 1926). Soon afterwards he left again permanently. The personnel of the Quartet with Amar and Caspar as violinists and Hindemith as violist remained unchanged until Hindemith's departure in April 1929. Erich Kraack became Hindemith's successor in 1929. The Quartet disbanded in 1933.

Repertoire

The Amar Quartet performed about 500 concerts from 1921 until 1933. They played in the major German metropolises as well as in numerous provincial towns. With travels to Denmark, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Czechoslovakia, the Quartet became renowned beyond German borders as well. During the winters of 1927/28 and 1928/29, the Quartet undertook two extended concert tours to the Soviet Union, during which Hindemith was able to gain an impression of contemporary Russian music. He also encountered Dmitri Shostakovich at this time.

The Amar Quartet presented an extraordinarily extensive and varied repertoire at its concerts, including not only string quartets but also works for trio, quintet or sextet combinations. They intentionally concentrated on works that were not considered standard works of classical and romantic chamber music. For this reason, quartets of Haydn and Beethoven were relatively rarely played on their programmes; instead the Amar Quartet played works of Schumann, Verdi and Dvorák. The ensemble rapidly became known for its unfussy, clear interpretations of the classics.

The Amar Quartet was of towering importance in concert life of the 1920s thanks to its indefatigable commitment to contemporary music. The fact that the works of Paul Hindemith stood at the centre of these efforts is not surprising, in view of the personal union of composer and interpreter. But the Amar Quartet was also committed to performing the works of other composers. Strings quartets by Béla Bartók, Max Butting, Alfredo Casella, Alois Hába, Philipp Jarnach, Ernst Krenek, Maurice Ravel, Arnold Schönberg, Igor Stravinsky, Anton Webern and many others were included on their programmes. A considerable number of premieres of contemporary works were given by the Amar Quartet.

Style of interpretation
The interpretations of contemporary music by the Amar Quartet met with unanimous enthusiasm amongst composer and reviewers. Anton Webern wrote to  Alban Berg from the music festival in Salzburg in 1922 about performances of his Movements for String Quartet, Op. 5 and Schönberg's F-sharp minor Quartet, Op. 10 as follows: "I don't need to tell you about the incredible effect of the F-sharp minor Quartet. Or maybe I do: for it was a very rare event. The Hindemith Quartet played excellently. As far as my Quartet was concerned: performance (Hindemith) very good. Really played like music."

The Quartet attracted particular interest when they interpreted Hindemith's own works. A critic was both fascinated and amazed when he wrote the following in November 1927 after a concert in Zurich: "Hindemith writes for his viola, his quartet, so that they follow his lead, only that his viola part sometimes jerks through the ensemble like a snake and carries everything away with it. The result is that the artists can perform their pieces in a tempo that would make one dizzy without sacrificing a single note. For example, if the first movement of the ‹String Trio› (Op. 34) could be performed more modestly, it might be seen that the piece is actually quite pretty."

The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art Washington Mid Atlantic Chapter (ICAA-WMA) celebrates excellence in traditional architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, preservation, urbanism, and artisanship through the biennial John Russell Pope Awards. The awards are named for John Russell Pope, 1874-1937, best known as the architect of the Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Other important works include the National Archives Building, Constitution Hall, the Temple of the Scottish Rite, as well as numerous exemplary private homes.
As noted by architect and historian Stephen M. Bedford, Pope's domestic and monumental architecture established him as a "leader in the development of highly refined and restrained American classicism." Founded in 2015, the awards program recognizes the best work of individuals who contribute to the creation of classical and traditional architecture and the allied arts within the Washington Mid Atlantic region.
