Former world champion Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev talks about Saturday's rematch with WBO light heavyweight champion Eleider "Storm" Alvarez on Saturday night at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys practice facility.
"I didn't have enough gas, enough power. You saw my condition. I was lazy it was like something was wrong with my body.
"Proving again that I always push myself more than needed and that was my biggest mistake in my boxing career. Always push further than needed. Right now Buddy has taught me a lot – saving energy for the fight and I listen to him 100% on his recommendations and I follow his instructions. I like this training camp but we'll see Saturday what the boxing side will show.
"Right now at this time before the fight I am used to dieting. This time I wanted to be better for everything – in life and in the boxing gym and in life and my team change. I am happy working with Teddy Cruz my strength coach and Buddy McGirt my boxing coach. They are really a great team and they are great persons. We have a great understanding with each other and I like the team very much.
"When I became pro I got three belts just by using my amateur experience be cause my fights went often my first two years as a pro I fought 5 or 6 times a year. Then later I fought two or three times a year and one year I fought only once. That's crazy. Between the fight it was long rest and I didn't work out. I was busy with my life. I was famous in my small group, in my circle. I was busy with my family and with my friends. Every fight I started my training from zero. No one was there to work on or remind me of my style. I fought every fight just on my memory from the amateurs. I had coaches but they didn't help me both my boxing or my conditioning or anything. Everything I did myself. Everybody has seen the result. I am happy that I started working with Buddy and he has reminded me of my amateur style and using a lot of boxing – not the goal to knock somebody out, but boxing. It's a good idea to not have to win by knockout, but by boxing. The will be, at one time, a punch that will catch him. If you can punch, you will.
"This time we have been working on defense too and with the shape I am in on Saturday it will be very interesting. I am excited in my last day of camp and I am excited for the fight to see what I can show. Right now I am really motivated because I know that I can beat this guy.
"The last fight he got lucky. He got lucky, of course. I lost concentration for just a couple of seconds – a lack of attention just for one second. Then I couldn't get focused after the knockdown.
"You never know what will happen tomorrow. I don't even know what will happen when I go around this corner of the wall when I get up. I do have motivation and I should use it to get my belt back.
"I like belts. Right now I have a co-promotion with Top Rank and I am on ESPN and I can get to the highest level in boxing again. I am in Dallas, and Texas is a state that has a lot of boxing fans – a lot of Mexican fans and a lot of American fans. The site is very bog and it looks great. And I am a Cowboys fan.

Australia Bob Hawke's daughter says he instructed her not to pursue rape …
Bob Hawke's daughter says he instructed her not to pursue rape …
Former prime minister Bob Hawke's youngest daughter says she was raped by a confidant of her father in the 1980s – but was urged not to report the assaults to protect Hawke's leadership ambitions.
In claims published by the New Daily, Rosslyn Dillon levelled the allegations against former Labor Victorian MP Bill Landeryou, who died in February, as part of her legal challenge against her father's $18m estate.
About Hawke's
Bob Hawke's daughter says he told her not to pursue rape …
About daughter
A daughter is a female offspring- a girl or woman in relation to her parents. Daughterhood is the state of being someone's daughter. The male counterpart is a son. Analogously the name is used in several areas to show relations between groups or elements. The word daughter also has several other connotations attached to it, one of these being used in reference to female descendancy or consanguinity. It can also be used as a term of endearment coming from an elder.
In patriarchal societies, daughters often have different or lesser familial rights than sons. A family may prefer to have sons rather than daughters and subject daughters to female infanticide. In some societies it is the custom for a daughter to be 'sold' to her husband, who must pay a bride price. The reverse of this custom, where the parents pay the husband a sum of money to compensate for the financial burden of the woman, is found in societies where women do not labour outside the home, and is referred to as dowry.
In pages of the 25-page affidavit lodged in the New South Wales supreme court published by the New Daily, Dillon alleges she told her father of the assaults at their family home – and he pleaded with her not to go further with the claims.
"You can't go to the police. You can't. I can't have any controversies right now. I am sorry but I am challenging for the leadership of the Labor party," Dillion reports in the affidavit, adding she was "shocked and hurt" by her father's request.
"I thought to myself I could not make any bigger sacrifice to [my father's] political career if I had tried.
"He asked me to let the matter go for him and I did so for him.
"I am still haunted by the sexual assaults. I feel that I may have had a chance to get over these rapes if I was able to report the incidents to police."
Dillon's sister, Sue Pieters-Hawke, told the New Daily the Hawke family had known of the allegations.
"I love and support my sister," she told the publication. "She did tell people at the time. I believe there was a supportive response but it didn't involve using the legal system."
Hawke's will sets out $750,000 for each of his three children and his stepson, Louis Pratt, with the remainder of the estate left to his wife, Blanche d'Alpuget.
Dillon recalls the assaults as happening in 1983, after her father used his influence to secure her employment with Landeryou, who she says was industrial affairs minister at the time. The New Daily reported the timeline outlined in the affidavit did not "add up – unless she is confused about what year she worked for Mr Landeryou".
The New Daily reports Dillon confirmed she was struggling with substance abuse issues at the time of the alleged assaults.
Hawke first mounted a leadership challenge in July 1982 but was unsuccessful. Bill Hayden resigned as Labor leader in February 1983 with Hawke emerging as the successor.
Hawke went on to win the March 1983 election and became one of the Labor party's most successful prime ministers.
Dillion is making a $4m claim against her father's estate.

Owned by Nolan Nitschke, this gallery features landscape photography of the Eastern Sierras, California, Idaho, Utah and the American West. Nolan was raised in the Eastern Sierras, and feels fortunate to have been exposed to some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world at a very young age. Now, those same landscapes provide him with artistic expression and a budding career. He hopes to share all the beauty and spirit of the unique places that have inspired his life… and hopefully yours as well.


" Though i have lived for entirely of my life in big cities, and being such a metropolis boy, i always wondering what if i live in the countryside with its peacefulness."
The perks of living in big cities might really tempting with the bright lights and its glory. You can easily order a chinese food at midnight, shopping at the malls, and go to clubs and pubs. But there is a thing that i always hate from the city is the crowd and some of them who labeled us as a selfish kinda person. well, i would agree with that consider to the fact that we are really busy with our own personal life these days, to be realized or not we are now loosing something that everyone should have, careness to each other.
despite of living in big cities, my family and i have a hobby to do a road trip getaway, so basically i'm really familiar with a long journey from one city to another that might takes hours even days on the road. we do often to transit in small town to looking around and get rest in the small local hotel. there's a plenty romance to be found in countryside especially when it comes to around the mountains. The people are also more generous and humble instead people in the city. life goes at a different pace here.
"I shall do anything that yet to be done before, as soon as i turned to 18."

"Whoever's holding the frame gets to tell us the story and shape our vision." Hank Willis Thomas is trying to break the frame or at least blurs the lines, so people could realize that truth is maybe a little more complicated than the simple story we've been told. He's interested primarily in the investigation of the construction of black identity through popular culture in the 17th and 18th century but also in the more recent times. The idea is that the truth is always better than fiction, and that's the approach he uses when addressing the questions of race, advertising, and popular culture.
Hank Willis Thomas – The Truth Is I See You (Truth Tree), 2015, installation view at Metrotech Brooklyn, photo credits James Ewing
The Art of Frame
Thomas is a conceptual artist who works in photography, installations, mixed media, sculpture, and he also makes videos. As a photographer, he captures moments and turn these moments into documents. In fact, he's trying to organize the world he's seeing. A lot of attention is given to the corner, the background and the foreground of an image, which then goes through a process of editing, where the artist renders and sketches it, listens to others' advice and considers new ideas, all of that usually lasting for quite some time, before he turns it into a finished work. Every photograph is manipulated because it's a split second of time, a narrow point of focus and it can never actually tell the complete truth as more things are happening outside of the frame than within it. Thomas has always been interested in how his own subjectivity limits his ability to see what's really going on.
More things are happening outside of the frame than within it
Hank Willis Thomas – Zero Hour, 2012, installation view
Choosing the Best Media
Because of those limitations, the artist's has grown quite comfortable in not relying solely on photography as his one chosen medium of artistic expression. Instead, he rather contemplates the concepts he's trying to create and chooses the best media to articulate the ideas he has. In most of his work, he uses the images and scenarios from the real ads as he thinks that critique then couldn't really be about him as much as it could be about the images that we're being served on a daily base and which we consume often without even giving it a second thought. The artist if fighting against this truth we're being told and states it is of utter importance that we see beyond of what the people holding the camera want us to see.
He's not relying solely on photography
Hank Willis Thomas – Raise Up, 2013
Branded and Unbranded
He received a BFA in Photography and Africana Studies from NYU in 1998, his MFA in Photography, and an MA in Visual and Critical Studies from California College of the Arts in San Francisco in 2004. Thomas grew up at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture where his mother, Deborah Willis, worked as a curator, so he's been around the documents holding information on people of African descent worldwide. He became interested in the questions of slavery and its legacy from an early age, and it has defined his work, and who he is. After his cousin was murdered over gold chain he didn't even wore at the time, Thomas started mixing the heritage of the black people with the popular culture and created B®anded series, which was too often perceived to be about his own personal feelings. He also created Unbranded: Reflections in Black by Corporate America 1968-2008, where he digitally removed the text from the corporate images that contained 'blackness' during this period, leaving only what's on the photographs so the viewers could observe and interpret them as plain images.
The questions of race have defined his work
Hank Willis Thomas – Cotton Bowl, 2011
Breaking the shackles of the mind is sometimes more difficult than those imposed on the body. Even if we seem free to do as we want, to roam the world, we're still seeing through the frame of those holding the camera, and we see what they want us to see. Hank Willis Thomas has dedicated his career to trying to break those frames, or at least to blurry the lines, so our minds would be free a well. A majority of his works is based on the question of race and slavery, and that is one of the darkest periods in the human history, whose consequences are evident up to this very day. Even though this type of work could be alienating, it isn't, as many can relate to his quest for the liberation of the mind.
He is represented by Gregg Shienbaum Fine Art in Miami.
Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in New York.

Bridgestone Americas' corporate family traces its roots to two distinguished companies— The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, which Harvey Firestone formed in Akron, Ohio in August 1900, and the Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd., which Shojiro Ishibashi started in Japan in 1931.
Bridgestone Corporation purchased Firestone in 1988 for $2.6 billion, transforming the companies' combined operations into the world's largest tire and rubber company. The operations in the Americas were renamed Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. and became the largest subsidiary of Bridgestone. As part of its integration with Bridgestone's existing U.S. operations, Bridgestone/Firestone moved its headquarters from Akron to Nashville in 1992.
Today, this subsidiary, now named Bridgestone Americas (BSAM), consists of an international family of enterprises with 52 production facilities and more than 50,000 employees throughout the Americas.
BSAM and its subsidiaries develop, manufacture and market a wide range of Bridgestone, Firestone and associate brand tires to address the needs of a broad range of customers, including consumers, automotive and commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers, and those in the agricultural, forestry and mining industries. The companies are also engaged in retreading operations throughout the Western Hemisphere and produce air springs, roofing materials, and industrial fibers and textiles. The BSAM family of companies also operates the world's largest chain of automotive tire and service centers.

UP hosts forum on Philippines' role in ASEAN
February 21, 2018 | Written by UP Media and Public Relations Office
Photo by Fred Dabu, UP MPRO
The University of the Philippines Asian Center and CIFAL Philippines, in partnership with the King Prajadhipok's Institute of Thailand, held a forum, "Roles and Positions of the Philippines in the ASEAN and the Global Community", on February 8, 2018 at the UP Asian Center Seminar Room, GT-Toyota Asian Cultural Center, UP Diliman, Quezon City.
Ambassador Elizabeth P. Buensuceso, Permanent Representative of the Philippines to the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), served as keynote speaker. Buensuceso discussed ASEAN's processes and mechanisms, and the Philippines' and the ASEAN members' national and regional positions in international multilateral forums. As a leader of the country's delegations in many conferences and negotiations, she advocates the rights of Filipino migrant workers and the country's positions on maritime security and cooperation, women empowerment, climate change, biodiversity, and other important issues.
The forum also featured discussions and presentations by: Ms. Myrene Sabina C. Bedaño, Chief of the Regional Relations and Arrangements Division of the Bureau of International Trade Relations under the Department of Trade and Industry; Dean Joefe B. Santarita of the UP Asian Center; Dr. Suthipand Chirathivat, Representative of the King Prajadhipok's Institute and Executive Director of the ASEAN Studies Center at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok; and, Director Edna E.A. Co, of UP CIFAL Philippines and a professor at the UP National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP NCPAG). Bedaño presented information on Philippine economic activities and relations with major trade partners. Santarita's discussion focused on Philippine migration policies, experiences, and roles in the ASEAN. Chirathivat and Co provided additional insights and a recap of the forum's highlights. Co added that the mechanisms and processes for reaching agreements, in spite of the diversity among ASEAN nations' interests and culture, can promote cooperation for members of the association to serve as generators or centers of growth in both regional and the global economic arenas.

NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France took a leave of absence from his duties on Monday following the revelation that he had been arrested on Sunday night for driving while intoxicated and under the possession of oxycodone, a controlled substance in the seventh degree.
In a story first reported by TMZ, France failed to adhere to a stop sign in Sag Harbor, New York, and was given a Breathalyzer test, which he failed. It was then that the police searched him and found oxycodone pills in his possession. The report stated that France bragged of his relationship with President Donald Trump.
France will be replaced on an interim basis by his uncle, Jim France, the founder of the Grand-Am Road Racing Series, who spearheaded its merger with the American Le Mans Series.
But this isn't the first time France has found himself in the spotlight for a transgression behind the wheel of a moving vehicle, much less criticism directed at the fact the executive rarely attends races or interacts with the competitors.
The arrest on Sunday came more than a dozen years after the third-generation NASCAR leader crashed his car into a tree near his residence in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Associated Press reported in 2006 that a witness reported that a silver Lexus owned by France was traveling at a "very reckless speed" and the driver "fell over his own feet" while exiting the car.
France was not interviewed until 20 minutes after he was inside his residence, where he told police that he was drinking soda at the time and "bumped into something."
Daytona Beach Police launched an investigation into if the department had provided France special treatment, something it concluded had not happened. However, according to the Daytona News Beach Journal, the incident did lead to the requirement that the highest-ranking supervisor on duty must be called to the scene of all DUI incidents and that no officer would report off-duty until his or her reports are complete.
A report in a book, "The Dirt Under the Asphalt: An Underground History of Stock Car Racing," by Jack Flowers suggested that France has been dealing with substance issues for decades.
And now on Sunday, France registered a blood-alcohol level of .18 percent on the chemical sobriety test, per the arrest report. The legal limit to drive an automobile is .08 percent and the threshold to be charged with aggravated DWI is .18.
"The defendant's breath smelled of an intoxicating beverage, his speech was slurred, his eyes were glassy and red, he was unsteady on his feet and he performed poorly on several standard field sobriety tests administered."
France was in possession of five yellow pills, later determined to be oxycodone. France has served as the chairman of the stock car racing league founded by his grandfather, Bill France Sr., since 2003. However, The Wall Street Journal reported in 2017 that France sold his entire stake in NASCAR more than a decade ago and "essentially works for his sister and uncle (Jim)," who hold significant stakes.
"I apologize to our fans, our industry and my family for the impact of my actions last night," France said in a statement. "Effective immediately, I will be taking an indefinite leave of absence from my position to focus on my personal affairs."

We live in a time when college enrollment in the humanities is declining precipitously, in good part because majoring in such subjects seems unlikely to result in gainful employment in a strapped economy.
Yet the social studies themselves allow me to answer these recalcitrant students. It is the social studies that answer the why question in education. Social studies are the reason why we learn everything else in school. It is through the social studies that we learn a practical application of everything else that we study.
When we study science, we are preparing to understand the things like climate change, deforestation, and desertification that we look at human geography and current world issues courses. When we study math, we are learning about principles and equations that allow us to understand government debt, economic crises, and future trade issues as they come up in world history and economics classes. When we study English and look at literature, we are gaining a deeper appreciation of the lives and views of people that we come across in our classes and the rest of our lives. While the science, math, and English courses provide the tools we need to understand our world, it is the social studies classes that provide us the laboratory space to apply them to the world around us.
Without these labs of citizenship, our students will be unprepared to lead the change that will be called for in the future. Instead of getting practical experience guided by experts deeply committed to their field, they will be set adrift in the world and need to learn fast without the resources to do so. As social studies teachers, we must defend our work as the birthplace of citizenship.
Many people believe education must have an direct economic impact, and that there needs to be a return on investment that is clear and tangible. They focus on STEM because it will prepare students for the jobs of the future, but they neglect the fact that we will want more than just workers in the future. We live in a democracy, which requires more than just workers, it requires engaged citizens willing to take charge and lead their country forward. If we neglect to train actively engaged citizens, we will have a country of people who know how to take orders and do their jobs, but no one able to lead and question if those job should even be done. Social studies courses are where we learn to ask the questions needed to sustain democracy.
While I used to tell my advisory students that they learned math, science, and English because these subjects made them well-rounded students, I have now changed my response. Now, when I am asked the same question I answer, "so you can be successful in your social studies classes."

Nice to see you.

The Broccoli founder on making big things with a small team, being careful with CBD, and Portland pride.
I'm from Canada, from a town in British Columbia called Kamloops. I grew up there and then, after high school, I lived in Vancouver.
In 2004, I got married to an American and moved briefly to New York. I was 21 and not prepared. Not prepared to not be able to work and not prepared for the immigration stuff. I just became a U.S. citizen, though, so now I can vote—I'm really looking forward to that.
After about seven months in New York, my ex-husband and I drove to Portland and now I've been here for 12 years. It was funny trying to research Portland at the time. Instagram didn't exist and no one was sharing anything personal online, so I was watching city planning videos just to get any kind of glimpse of what the city was like. It was kind of a gamble, but I already knew I liked the West Coast, so it felt like a safe gamble.
Portland's a really nice place to live. Etsy had just launched around the time that I moved here, so I made crafts and sold them online. And for a long time, like many people in Portland have done at some point, I did the "vintage resale thing." I focused on clothes, because they're soft and you don't need a box to ship them. It's much easier. Portland used to be great for that. You'd just dig through piles and hope you find treasure.
One time I found a copy of Charley Harper's Giant Golden Book of Biology. That one from the '50s with the really iconic illustration style and nature stuff? They're worth a fair bit. Mine was all ripped up, but it still sold on eBay for like $200. Another time I found $40 in a book. So that was great. And then the best find, though maybe not the greatest, was a vacuum-sealed pickle. A real pickle! There was pickle juice in it. It must have been some kind of souvenir from a pickle factory or something.
I started shooting photos for small designers in those stores, which meant I got to work with a lot of really cool women. I was just shooting for fun. And then someone eventually asks you to do it for them, and then eventually you're like, "Could I get paid to do that?" And you just go from there. That led me into the other side of things, and doing art direction with Kinfolk. I did that until last year.
Georgia King, Kinfolk's editor, actually bought a jacket from me while she was still living in Australia, working at Frankie. She's really friendly so she left a note with her order and we vaguely kept in touch online. So when she came to Portland, I hooked her up with the person she ended up subletting from, and then down the road, a job popped up.
One of the great things about working for a small magazine that works big is that you get to learn a lot about all the nuts and bolts.
I was at Kinfolk for three and a half years. The company was in Portland up until about two years ago, and then half the team went to Denmark and the people who were here moved on. So I was working remotely for about a year. It was kind of a bummer. Why would you not want to have a fun team that you liked with you, right? But there was a lot of transitioning happening for me that year, so it wasn't too bad to not have to go to an office. The hardest part, though, was the nine-hour time difference. I would get up, get on my computer at 8 a.m. and it's like 4 or 5 p.m. there, and they're all done for the day.
My dad passed away the summer that I left Kinfolk, and that was basically when I quit. I needed to be home. He had cancer, and when someone is going through that process, you don't know how much time you're going to get with them, so you gotta drop everything you can and just go. So that's what I did.
All of the legit recreational stuff in Portland started happening about a year before I left Kinfolk. Seeing the retail and brand stuff that was happening—it was really impressive. But we were still looking at incredibly industry-focused magazines.
One of the great things about working for a small magazine that works big is that you get to learn a lot about all the nuts and bolts. I had worked with Jessica Gray and Jennifer James Wright at Kinfolk, so I knew we could do it. It was just a matter of should we do it, because there was a lot of stuff out there already.
We had a designer, someone to do partnerships, and then me to do all the rest, so it was a good foundation. I found one of my editors, Ellen Freeman, through a friend of a friend of a friend. She was the funniest person I'd ever met. I crossed my fingers and hoped that she was just as funny in writing. She writes all the stuff that's from the Broccoli voice: all the titles and the captions and the little intros. She also probably writes two or three articles per issue.
Jessica lives in L.A. J.J. lives in Austin, and then Stephanie Madewell, our "editor" editor, lives in Ohio. I was already comfortable with the remote thing, and knowing how to project-manage from a distance, so even though it wasn't my dream of having everyone together in Portland, I knew it would work. And, you know, when they're the right people, they're the right people. Everyone flew out for a launch party in December and it was the first time a lot of us were meeting each other. It was just so sweet and fun.
We're trying to find a balance between talking about weed and things that are just adjacent to the subject.
J.J. came up with our little tagline on the front: "A Magazine for Cannabis Lovers," which is great. Broccoli looks at weed from a culture and fashion perspective, so looking at all the different things that a person who likes weed might also be interested in, or that we know they're interested in, because we are these people.
Stephanie put it really beautifully once: "For this type of person, weed is just one star in the constellation of their interests." It's doing both those people and the subject a disservice to ignore the rest of life. I understand this is just the premise of a lifestyle magazine in general, but like with many things for cannabis, even expected frameworks are still new and exciting. So we're trying to find a balance between talking about weed and things that are just adjacent to the subject.
We're often talked about within the framework of the luxury weed picture, but it's funny because Broccoli is free. We try really hard to make sure that the stuff is a mix of things that are fantasy and reality. Not everything you see in there is going to be a $500 product.
We have seven people who have a regular thing each issue, and then we're finding ways to get new people involved. We have a Science Editor, Zoe Sigman, for this third issue. She wrote to us because there was a factual error about CBD in our first issue and her email was so kind, like, "I just want to share this with you." We went back and forth and I asked her some follow-up questions to make sure I was understanding it. Any time you hear some new science thing, you have to translate it to yourself, repeat it back to a person who knows the facts, and get that understanding of what's really going on. We barely even got through those questions before I was like, "How about you take an editor's eye from a science perspective on any article that makes any kind of claim, or references any kind of scientific understanding, and tell us if that seems to be the most up-to-date thing?" It's just so cool to have her.
One of the biggest dangers that I see right now in cannabis is the overzealous claims around CBD.
One of the biggest dangers that I see right now in cannabis is the overzealous claims around CBD. The crowd is turning it into a snake oil, and it's freaking me out. I think this is a really important debate right now. With CBD under the legal radar, right now, anyone can put out a CBD product. I could get on the internet and buy CBD—something that says "CBD White Label"—and stuff it in a vape pen, put it in a pill, put it in a lotion, and sell it to a lot of people. And I could say that it cures XYZ, from to skin problems to tumors. And that's what people are doing, and it really, really hurts the truth. And the truth is that we are still learning. I'm very disappointed that people are going too far with it, because it's going to cloud the reality of how powerful and versatile CBD is. That's a risk we're facing right now and I don't like it.
The brands that I respect are the ones who approach that stuff cautiously, and with a lot of respect for where we're at. They are not overdoing it. If they want to talk about an effect that they've seen, they're actually referencing real studies and giving people's personal perspectives. I hate the phrase "studies show." Which studies? I get that most brands have to do their own research and this stuff's very internal—so you don't always have more than just your own research to call back to—but even then, I'd love to hear the research being done. Just a little more context off of which to hang a claim.
People have to make a more conscious decision about how they want to teach others, including their kids, about weed.
I probably started smoking weed when I was 19 or 20, when I moved to Vancouver—the "big city." I was kind of a dork in high school. They tell you weed is bad, so you're like, "Okay. It's bad. I'm not gonna do it." It's interesting how people approach it now. People have to make a more conscious decision about how they want to teach others, including their kids, about weed. I don't have kids, so I can't really speak to that.
Now, with all these new vapes and stuff, my tolerance has gone down because the nice ones don't hit as hard as just smoking flower. I really like the vapes that have no added junk, no flavors. You can just have pure cannabis extract and it tastes good and it's effective. I love the Quill—that's my favorite one. I really like Andi Bixel's Gems from Drip Sweets, and I like Mr. Moxey's Mints, because I can cut them in half and that's the perfect amount. And Pilot Farm—they're an Oregon farm.
I think Portland is 100% leading in terms of retail and brands. New York has more weed events than we do here, but we've had a little bit of a head start and the people here are really doing great work. Portland doesn't always get to be the city that other cities look to, but I think they do for branding and design. And the farmers and people who really care about the land and biodiversity, they're doing crazy cool stuff. We have a really strong farming culture, and I think it all fits in naturally with Oregon's pride as a "maker" kind of state.
The next frontier is seeing which brands—the really traditional, big, corporate entities—are willing to play in this space. Who's willing to touch it? Because there's a lot of fun stuff to be done, and it doesn't have to be illegal or scary.

Machine Talks About The Dynamics Of The Band, New Music and Special Announcements If You Haven't Already Done It, It's Time To Send A "Congrats" DM Now
LOS ANGELES, CA- I've known Peter Thomas for almost a decade. I met him when he played drums for another band, but after he moved on, he teamed up with Madeline Mahrie for her musical project: Machine. When I first listened to the CD he gave me years ago, I was hooked. The alternative piano rock sound was something that not many artists explored, and Madeline's Fiona Apple-esque ferocity intrigued me.
On October 13th, 2018, Blurred Culture and no season was able to host Machine at Madame Siam in Hollywood for a performance and I was able to catch up with them for some photos. Later, I would talk with Madeline and Pete about their music and what's in store for 2019.
How did Machine form?
Madeline: I was with this douche-bag, and my friends described him as a "self-perpetuating machine of douchery". Originally, the metaphor was, "I'm going to put a wrench into the gears to stop the machine from running", but then it turned into, I was the machine … enduring his shit. Until I got away from him. That's how I came up with name Machine. There were a couple other ideas, but they're kinda hanky. "Like".
That would have been such a meta name for a band.
M: There was also Madeline Ivory, but that's kinda goofy. It was good for the kind of style that I used to play. I used to do more honky tonk and ragtime stuff.
I love the name Machine. In my opinion, I think it totally suits your musical style.
M: Now, it's kinda gone to the extreme. Now, I use sewing machines all the time. Pete is a machinist. And the CP70 that we tour with … that thing is kind of a beast. We call that "the machine" [….] Back in the day, I used to play everything. I'd play the CP70, and also drum with a loop pedal, and sing … Machine started as a one man band.
How did you connect with Pete?
M: I saw him play with another band, and I played shows with his other band. At some point, I lost the drummer that I had, and Pete started filling in. He filled in on and off. I got other drummers. My old drummer came back for a little while. Eventually, it just became permanent. And I had a big old crush on Pete for, like, forever.
Does the interpersonal relationship in the band cause any conflict?
Madeline Laughs.
M: Sure! Of course. We've broken up on tour. I've had bad shows, and he not only gets it as a band member, but then …. he's my best friend and lover … but he gets my bad side from a lot of different angles. So we work really hard on making things solid between us. We've been together for four years, and I've known him for six, so we've done a lot of growth. Nowadays, it's really easy. Now, I feel like it's kind of hard to put up with other people's shit cause we do so well together.

Does the chemistry carry over when you are writing new music with each other? Or, Madeline, are you the one who does most of the writing and bring it to Pete afterwards?
M: Traditionally that's how it was. We'd have one or two a year that we'd do together, but now Pete's been bringing in some really awesome songs to the table. It's changing. We've been together for a long time, and all of sudden there's a whole lot of new stuff coming out. (to Peter). I've known you for six year, and why amI just now hearing these amazing songs.
Pete Thomas: It's really new.
Are you letting your inner artist come out now?
P: Madeline has just been a good inspiration and a creative person to be around. She's inspires me and also helps a lot …
M: I give him challenges. He's really good a puzzles. There's this band that does four chord songs. Basically, every pop song is a four chord song. I was like, "Pete, you should write a four chord song," and so he did, and it's so good! I cry…. I'm crying just talking about it.
P: She definitely encourages me to take chances.
Are you singing Pete's songs,Madeline?
M: Right now, we're both singing Pete's songs. I'm really open for whatever he wants to do.
That'd be a first for me. I don't think I've ever heard Pete sing anything.
M: Oh. My. Gosh. He has the voice of an angel. He's like the son in American Dad.
Have any of the new songs been recorded yet?
M: No. they haven't been recorded yet, but we're going up to Oregon to start the process this Spring. We've already started recording a couple of other songs that will be on the next album with those songs.
I remember from our conversation a couple months ago, you had been really inspired by gospel music. Are you still on that path?
M: Oh, yeah. It's just like a vibe. Most of the songs that are going to be on the album are really personal songs that we wrote while we were on tour under extreme sleep and financial deprivation and woes. [Going back to the song's that' Pete's written], I get so excited about the songs that he writes. That's something that I'm really enjoying right now. I'm finding satisfaction in playing music that I haven't had since I was really young. I joke how it's like a drug… which is probably is because I get an endorphin rush … but it's a roller coaster of feelings and layers of vocals and heavy drum beats and good gospel chords that give me that endorphin rush I was talking about.
You have any announcements for your fans?
M: Announcements? Pete and I are getting married. August 24th! In Oregon!
Well …. That's certainly a big announcement!
M: I got a solid human being who's not completely batshit crazy like I am. It's nice. It's a great balance. For the first time I have 100% trust in the person that I'm with. I think part of that is because we're in a band together.

Original Kurzfassung: Acoustic sensing is traditionally based on the piezoelectric effect and thus limited in the selection of transducer materials and options for sensor fabrication. Another excitation method is the principle of magnetic direct generation of acoustic waves, which has been employed for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of materials as electromagnetic-acoustic transducer (EMAT) sensors for several decades. With a suitable high-Q mechanical resonator the lower transduction efficiency can be overcome. The advantages of remote excitation, i.e., inexpensive fabrication of many different resonator materials and a wide variety of possible vibration modes, can be utilized to suit the specific needs of an application. Latest developments concentrate on the characterization of different excitation setups to generate and compare different modes of vibration.

I'm trying to find a recipe for homemade cat gravy that I can store (refrig) and use as needed for a picky cat who only eats the gravy from canned food. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
All my indoor cats were once neighborhood strays. But I like to feed them better foods like Pro plan or science diet. Unfortunately, instead of the online merchant shipping Pro plan, they shipped Friskies. Will it hurt to feed them a big bag of Friskies? I promise not to make it a habit.

Puppy Found Tied Inside A Plastic Bag In A Ravine Filled With Trash
A. Stout
By A. Stout
"How could anyone do something like that to an innocent animal?" That's the question that arises from a recent occurrence in Rondon, Brazil. A puppy was found at the bottom of a ravine in a plastic bag. The bag had been tied up, and the dog was sitting in its own body waste. If that weren't bad enough, the ravine was a place where people typically tossed garbage and animal carcasses.
Is your faith in humanity now destroyed? Well, don't worry; that was the worst part of the story. It gets so much better from here on out.
Marcia Lutz via Facebook
Things turned around when a caring, animal-loving soul spotted him. Unable to rescue him herself, she turned to the Facebook followers of a Brazilian animal rescue organization, Noah's Ark.
"He was thrown in a ravine inside a plastic bag," she announced. "It's a place that's difficult to access. I can't save his life. Can anyone help me?"
In under a half hour, fellow animal lovers responded—not just to the post, but to the situation. Two women working at a nearby medical center clambered into the ravine and rescued the bagged puppy. Considering all that the poor thing had been through, it's quite a relief that he was in good health. Even better, the sweetie pie was adopted an hour afterward.

Which just comes to show that, while people are capable of incredible cruelty, they're also capable of incredible compassion and goodness.
