Joyce Manor – Never Hungover Again
September 18, 2014 September 22, 2014 Jake Hook Album Reviews
Release Date: July 15th, 2014
Genre: Pop punk
Record Label: Epitaph Records
As much as their influences are obvious and clearly displayed, and as much as they are indicative of a trend that they are more or less leaders of, there's no one quite like Joyce Manor. Having altered course fairly dramatically on 2012's Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired, the band set out to distinguish themselves from the average pop punk Tumblrcore band, with which they were seemingly associated after the release of their first album. Baring influences from all over the alternative rock landscape, that album was highly divisive among fans. On Never Hungover Again, the band purports to be returning to form ala their self-titled debut. This, however, is misleading. Like their debut, it's longer than Of All Things…, coming in at just under 20 minutes rather than a mere 15, and as tempting as it is to write this review proportional to the length of the album, there is simply too much to say about this – and I cannot stress this enough – important band. It is, however, not exactly like either of their previous records. It is neither deliberately inaccessible like their second album, nor is it exactly what the Defend Pop Punk crowd wants, which is probably a clone of their first album.
As a result, they find themselves courting a rather different crowd – they did an interview with Noisey – Vice magazine's music blog – recently, they've been featured on Pitchfork, and are, bewilderingly, playing alongside lo-fi magnates The Growlers this fall at that band's annual Beach Goth party, along with another band rising in prominence among hipsters from their sphere of the punk world, Andrew Jackson Jihad (although Wu-Tang Clan's Gza is also playing there, so maybe this means nothing in context).
But I digress. This album has no equivalent to "Constant Headache," nor does it have an obvious analog to "Video Killed The Radio Star" – but it does have excellent tracks that are legitimate triumphs rather than simple reaction to their past successes. In the aforementioned Noisey review, they asserted that, to the outsider, Joyce Manor is essentially the same as The Wonder Years. This isn't to say they're admitting defeat and gearing up for a lifetime of playing Warped Tour -it's simple fact, and this because they share obvious influences. However, one listen to Joyce Manor shows that they're an infinitely more mature band than Dan Campbell & co, who sing about how mature they're getting. This maturity stems from the fact that Joyce Manor exists outside the purview of niche geographical tendencies or genealogical. Yes, they share influences, but that's because Joyce Manor's influences are, well, everyone in pop punk – everyone from Screeching Weasel to TTTYG-era Fall Out Boy, from Jawbreaker to Blink-182, from Descendents to The Get Up Kids. Then add in a healthy dose of Weezer, Pavement, The Smiths, and The Cure, and you've got Never Hungover Again.
For your consideration – "Heart Tattoo," which has a coda that I'm not entirely convinced doesn't feature Tom DeLonge doing background vocals; "Victoria," which would be utterly dominating 120 Minutes if it were 1994; "Schley," the characteristically deceptive lead single which Trojan-horses us into thinking the rest of the album will be the by-the-numbers sequel of their first album, all the while containing all the elements of change that Hungover truly represents; "In The Army Now," a sonic homage to their hardcore roots with some of the most serious lyrics on the album; and of course, "Heated Swimming Pool," the sentimental epilogue that will leave you already nostalgic for an album that came out last month.
If this album doesn't affect you in some way, you're not paying attention. If you're bemoaning this album because it was released on a label not run by Mike Park, and therefore hate all the twinkly guitars or the guitar leads or the keyboards on "Falling In Love Again," you're taking this too seriously. If you don't get what it's about or think it all sounds the same, don't worry, you won't hear the end of it from your friends. If you're just getting turned onto this band by this album, you could go back and listen to their old albums, but this wouldn't really give you much more than some historical context, because this is by far their greatest achievement.

Q: Migrate my website from GCM to FCM My website uses GCM (via OneSignal)
push notifications system.
I have to migrate push notification system to FCM (Firebase).
My goal is to migrate old tokens (and theirs relative tags/preferences) stored onto OneSignal into mine DB (on MongoDB) and send to that tokens my push notification via Firebase.
Reading Firebase's doc I don't understand if it is possible and how it is possible to reuse (or migrate/translate) old OneSignal tokens with Firebase.
Then:

*

*Is it possible to reuse old OneSignal token with Firebase?

*If n°1 is FALSE, how can I migrate old token to new token accessible with Firebase? Is there an API or JS method defined into Firebase SDK in order to translate old tokens.

A: I'm not familiar with how OneSignal works with GCM/FCM. What you should do is verify if the token used for OneSignal is either different or same to the actual registration token GCM works on.
The usual token format for GCM/FCM is something like this: 123456abcd:123456789abcdefghij. For a list of known characters for a GCM/FCM registration token, see here.
If it is the same, then you could simply use them as they are while proceeding to use FCM. Since FCM is still compatible with GCM tokens. However, there seems to be a really old version of GCM tokens that may be considered different from the latest format of GCM/FCM tokens (see here).
If the token is different, then unfortunately, I don't think there is a way for you to import those tokens to FCM (similar post, but for parse.com tokens). You could ask the OneSignal team if they might have the corresponding GCM tokens, but I can't say for sure.
 Disclaimer: I'm no way associated or representing OneSignal in any manner.

I think the organizers here at the Rio Olympics misstepped. Samba should be a medal event. Athletic, fast moving, beautiful, energetic, and sweaty, I think it meets a lot of the criteria of a world class sport. I went to a samba school practice the other night, at the Salgueiro School of Samba, one of the biggest in Rio. I left at 2:30 am, and they were really just getting going. So, you could add endurance to the list of sporting attributes for this particular art form. These ladies had hips that moved like a paint mixer and tushes that probably require their own ticket on an airplane flight. And the music? My ears are still ringing, two days later. The drums define the idea of percussive power.
For the technically minded, the dance pix here are shot with D500, and the drums with D5. Thanking the stars for the SB-5000 wireless flash system. In a crowded bump and grind dance hall like this, being freed of line of sight and having accurate radio TTL is a wonderful gift.
COMPLETELY agree Joe! I think it is amazing what all of the dancers and musicians go through to do this.
OK now I get why you went to Rio. Given how clear you are in your workshops about your past sports photography prowess with SI, I was scratching my head a bit at you slapping on the long lens and standing in line with the thousands of other shooters there. Thank god someone is shooting the party and having a good time vs the 10's of thousands of M. Phelps swimming shots. What a brilliant move by SI to have you document the real Rio (they do know that's what you are doing?). Looks like the real action is at night and not during the day. Photography is a tough business and oh well someone has to do it. Thanks for involving us in your fun.
Sounds like you're having a heck of a time of it Joe ?
I'm very fortunate to have shot Brazilica, a Brazilian festival in Liverpool, a few years ago. Still in touch with a number of the dancers who are incredible. I don't think I could move my hip like that if I fell in a cattle fence after being caught in a rain storm..
If you're ever thinking of doing a Samba dancer shoot in the uk, drop me a line and I'll put you in tough with Simone.
Enjoying following your Olympic adventure.
OMG, tushes that require their own…hysterical. But you forget the most important part – they do it all in 4″ FM heels!!!
I don't know how they do it! Amazing balance!!!
What's the wide angle you most like on the DX sensor D500? I have that body, but I've not yet settled on a wide-angle lens for it I'd like 24 or 28 equivalent prime, but none yet.

The Canadian National Soaring Team is currently competing at the 34th World Gliding Championships in Benalla, Australia, running until January 20th, 2017. All four pilots on the team this year are SOSA members and flight instructors.
The competition time zone is 16 hours ahead of SOSA time, most race days will start at about 10pm Eastern, with results available to us in the mornings.


The flagship outreach and action program of Bird Friendly Iowa is called "Bird Friendly City", similar to the Arbor Day Foundation's "Tree City USA" program. Other states have recently initiated programs called "Bird City" or "Bird Town" programs, with "Bird City Wisconsin" being recognized as the national leader. Eventually this first phase will be expanded to include other types of Iowa communities such as counties, campuses, and farms. As awareness and action across our landscape grows, we should see a corresponding increase in birds to watch.
Each type of entity has criteria to be met for recognition including advanced criteria for a "high flyer" status providing even greater protections of birds. Review the critera for cities on the BFI website. Engage your community leaders and work with your friends and neighbors to get your town designated as bird friendly. Let's fill in the map and show people that Iowa is a great place to live and enjoy birds.
As a small start-up, Bird Friendly Iowa is in need of funding. Please donate as you can through the IOU donation page by selecting partnerships.


Spanish missionaries at Mission Soledad first planted vineyards in the region now known as the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in the late 18th century. But winegrowing on the windswept terraces of the Santa Lucia mountain range began in earnest in 1973 when Rich and Claudia Smith established the Paraiso Vineyard. Parasio is the tenth iconic vineyard to be acknowledged by the California State Fair as Vineyard of the Year.

Top Three Soccer Picks for Oct. 26-27: Underdogs Edition
Odds Shark Staff | Fri, Oct 25 2019, 3:03pm
Updated: Thu, Apr 2 2020, 12:44pm
Embedded video for Top Three Soccer Picks for Oct. 26-27: Underdogs Edition
I'm doing something a bit different with my column this week. Yes, as you can tell by the headline of this week's betting picks, I'm going to be backing a trio of underdogs from this weekend's board.
I wanted to mix things up a bit and when I was looking at the matchups in England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany, I just didn't see anything that I was really 100 percent sold on. What I did notice, however, was that some teams that I like were sizable underdogs.
Bear in mind that there is zero chance that all three of these hit so don't just go to your shop and blindly tail what I have here. Use this as a jumping point to dig a bit deeper into the match or matches that you might want to play.
What we've noticed in these early days of domestic football is that there have been a lot of big upsets. So let's try to capitalize on that and score a big win or two this weekend.
I've included the double chance odds for each game if you want to play it a bit more conservative.
Let's get right into it. As always, lines courtesy of Bovada.
Watford vs Bournemouth: Bournemouth (+220)
Double Chance Odds (-140)
Let's start the underdog edition in England with Bournemouth visiting last-placed Watford. The Cherries come in at +220 and look like a decent dog bet against a Watford team that has already had a managerial change and is still looking for its first win of the season.
Eddie Howe's Bournemouth side currently resides in a mid-table logjam with 12 points but is winless in its last three games. After posting nice wins at home against Everton and away to Southampton, draws against West Ham and Norwich and a loss away to Arsenal have the team eager for another one in the win column.
That's why Watford could be the perfect opponent in Matchday 10. Bournemouth has never lost a Premier League match away to Watford (one win, three draws), including a dominant 4-0 win in this fixture last season.
There are plenty of players missing out for Watford as well with José Holebas serving a suspension and Danny Welbeck, Isaac Success, Sebastian Prödl and Troy Deeney all out and Roberto Pereyra, Daryl Janmaat and Etienne Capoue listed as doubtful.
Bournemouth has already cashed as dogs of +220 (at Aston Villa) and +230 (at Southampton) so far this season; let's try it in that ballpark away to the cellar-dwellers.
Genoa vs Brescia: Brescia (+295)
I'm heading to the boot for my second underdog play of the weekend and taking Brescia at just about 3/1 away to Genoa.
To call Genoa's season a disaster would be an understatement. The club sits second-last in the table with just five points and has lost three games on the bounce entering Matchday 9. It's been horrid enough that the club sacked manager Aurelio Andreazzoli and replaced him with Thiago Motta, who has zero coaching experience at this level.
To Genoa's credit, the club did post a 2-1 home win over Fiorentina (its only win of the season), which was a strong performance. Since then it's been downhill, obviously.
Promoted side Brescia boasts a very intriguing team on paper with the likes of Mario Balotelli, young phenom Sandro Tonali and Alfredo Donnarumma. There is some talent in this squad and they have recorded a couple of wins so far – away to Cagliari and away to Udinese – and are coming off a decent 0-0 draw at home to Fiorentina.
Nothing else to add, really. If you haven't watched Sandro Tonali play, do yourself a favor and tune in to this game. Beyond that, this has the potential to be an ugly one but I'm adding Brescia to my list of dogs this weekend.
Granada vs Real Betis: Real Betis (+185)
Ah, Real Betis. Talk about underachieving.
On paper, this team should be much higher than 17th place in the La Liga table with a measly nine points. But they don't play the games on paper, do they?
This team couldn't stop a starting XI of Odds Shark employees as they've conceded a league-high (by some margin) 19 goals in the usually defensively sound Spanish top flight. Their xGA of 16.14 is -2.86 of their actual 19 conceded so while they have been unlucky to a degree, when you watch them play, you can tell they are always on the brink of conceding.
So why back Betis here? Well, the only team in La Liga that has a luckier xG than Granada is Barcelona. Granada has scored 16 goals this season but their xG puts them at 10.33 (-5.67) so I'm gonna bank on a quiet game in attack for the newly promoted club that has been punching above its weight for some time this campaign.
Granada is incredibly in third place in La Liga entering the weekend with 17 points from nine games. Surely there has to be some regression, right?
Betis is undeniable in possession playing some pretty football with players like Nabil Fekir, Sergio Canales, Joaquin and La Liga leading scorer Loren Morón. The goals are there, they just need to sort it out in the back.
Manager Rubi will be coaching for his life after losing 3-1 to Real Sociedad last week. It's underdog week, so yeah, let's take Betis.

Molly HubbardOwner
Molly Hubbard Bio
Molly Hubbard takes a vision and makes it reality through intentional strategy development. She intuitively sees the potential of opportunity within an organization, empowers her team to expand their thinking, and drives material business advantage. She is an inspirational leader who tells stories that inspire action while at the same time is grounded in the human connection that drives the business. Respected as a credible voice in decision making, identifying strategic teaming partners, and maintaining cohesive boundaries, Molly earns a seat at the table wherever she serves. Currently, as the President and majority stockholder of Turnkey Technical Services, LLC, Molly oversees the operations of this multi divisional organization.
Earlier in life, Molly and her husband Orville, raised a family and were the owners and operators of Hubbard Grocery in their home town of Scalf, KY. Driven to fill a void and offer a convenience, the Hubbards lobbied for the US Post Office to open a facility next door to their store. They were successful in their efforts and Molly became the Assistant Postmaster while she continued managing the grocery store's operations. When an opportunity locally hauling coal presented itself, that same drive is what manifested the family's next venture, Hubbard & Sons Trucking. The company expanded to include tractors and trailers to accommodate demand and Hubbard Trucking Inc., was established. As the co-owner of Hubbard Trucking Inc, Molly managed all areas of operations the small business owner is tasked with, including Accounting, Human Resources, Recruiting, and Compliance. In addition, she led business development and secured an opportunity with the Department of Energy to become a commercial motor freight carrier certified by the DOE MCEP Program. Obtaining this prestigious certification, achieved only by a very limited amount of motor carriers, allowed Molly to capitalize on the opportunity, rebrand her family's general freight transportation operation, and expand to over 50 trucks and as many employees. Hubbard Trucking Inc. is now a preferred DOE vendor who specializes in the secure transport of hazardous waste and classified materials to various DOE sights across the nation.
Operating small businesses and applying lessons learned in success and failure, a confidence in decision making, and forward thinking strategies are the foundation for what Molly Hubbard has built, reorganized, and grown. Turnkey Technical Services, under Molly's leadership, is a relevant and respected organization in both the government and private sectors and is ever evolving to fit the demands of this competitive industry.

Scot GreenCFO
Scot Green Bio
Scot Green has more than 25 years of leadership experience in all areas of small business operations. He began under the mentorship of his father who had founded and sold a couple of start-ups in the machine shop industry, opened a brick and mortar auto parts store, but then returned to machining to start a company that could provide a landing spot for his three sons. After his father's untimely death in 1998, Scot assumed the responsibility of running his family's business, Oak Ridge Fabricators, Inc. (ORF)
With lessons learned from his father, his own work ethic and a competitive strategic vision, Scot brought this local precision machine shop to the forefront of technology, resulting in a key partnership with USEC in 2007. ORF became a preferred vendor to supply machined parts for the American Centrifuge Project, a DOE-funded R&D project to reduce dependency on foreign-supplied enriched uranium for nuclear power.
ORF was spotlighted in the national trade publication, American Machinist, recognizing its standout success as a small business with the ability to perform on a high level in an area dominated by significantly larger competitors.
Scot brings that same strategic vision to Turnkey as the CFO. Effective development of solutions to business finance challenges, and disciplined financial management skills have been crucial to creating operating budgets. After referencing cost benefit analytics and forecasting fiscal needs, Scot recognized a potential for company growth. Under his recommendation, our Sales Division was added in 2018, with additional administrative and sales team members added in 2019, due to its rapid growth and success.

Iraq: June 14, 2004
The war in Iraq is now between a small group of Saddam diehards and Shia religious radicals against the Shia Arab dominated government. The Shia group, led by Muqtada al Sadr, has been defeated by American troops and his unpopularity among Shia Iraqis. Al Sadr is desperately trying make amends with the Shia dominated interim government, not just to try and retain some political clout, but to deal with the murder charges against him.
The Sunni terrorists are most active group. They have set off at least one car bomb a day so far this month, and Iraqi government leaders expect that to continue for the rest of the month. Six police stations have been attacked this month, and three destroyed. Murders of government officials are also up, with there being 2-3 a day, and many more being directly threatened by "the resistance." The terrorist groups don't agree on who should run Iraq, being split on a Sunni Arab dictatorship or a Sunni Arab religious dictatorship. Democracy is not on their menu of choices.
The new interim government is threatening unspecified "severe measures" to deal with the terrorists. What this means is isolating Sunni Arab neighborhoods and rural areas where the terrorists are known to operate from. This approach has been resisted in the past, in order to try and maintain the fiction that there was no support for such violence among the Sunni Arab minority. But as the terrorists increase their violence, their victims have to either just keep taking the hits, or strike back. This is almost all Iraqi versus Iraqi violence, and the Iraqis are going to have to deal with it.

The first six books of the Honeymoon from Hell series, from Perfection to Double Dare, you can now see all their honeymoon's from hell in one place.
"No," he said firmly, trying not to smile, knowing that it would just set off another glaring fit.
"You can't leave this bed. The doctor told you that you had to stay off that foot for a few days," he reminded her, wondering how he was going to make this up to her. They had five days left on their honeymoon, three of which Haley was confined to the bed thanks to a twisted ankle.
A tickle of unease crept up his spine as he looked at her swollen ankle as his father's warning to wait a year before he took Haley on a honeymoon replayed in his head, making him wonder if maybe there was some truth to the curse after all. But, just as quickly he dismissed the notion. She'd taken her glasses off and tripped. That was all. It was something that he'd seen her do countless times and something that she would probably continue doing when they were old and grey.
"You don't say," he said dryly as he sat back on the bed and waited.
"It feels great," she said with a huge smile, no doubt hoping that it would be enough to convince him that she was more than up for a day at the park.
Chuckling, he grabbed the remote and handed it over to her.

"It's a wonder people haven't started destroying banks and looting them" – Bank Teller
Teller Thomas Sibanda* spoke to IRIN about being on a frontline of the country's economic crisis, in which the inflation rate is officially in the hundreds of millions of percent, and one US dollar now costs around 20 billion Zimbabwean dollars.
"It used to be a pleasure dealing with clients coming to withdraw their money or carry out other transactions, but that is no longer the case. The banking system has steadily been going to the dogs, and as a bank teller I feel like an undertaker at a funeral.
"Granted, the queues are not as long as they used to be following the decision by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe [RBZ] to force clients to withdraw only a maximum of Z$10 billion [US$50 cents] per month if they are withdrawing their salaries [a restriction that was recently lifted].
"Most of the people who come to the banks these days are those [who do not have payslips] and can only withdraw Z$5 billion a week [US$25 cents – a restriction that remains in force].
"What does a person do with that small amount of money when a single trip into town is now costing a US dollar or its equivalent in Zimbabwean dollars? Where does the RBZ think the people are getting the rest of the money?
"When queues were so long it was such a big challenge for us. At one time a customer jumped into my cubicle and threatened to beat me up. The police and internal security were called, but the client refused to leave unless he was given his money, and even though the bank manager had given an order that we should not disburse more money, the cash was raised to give to the irate customer.
"That kind of anger among clients is understandable. Imagine that a person comes into town and joins a bank queue as early as 4 a.m., only to be told at the close of business that he can't withdraw his money [because of the cash shortage], even though he or she knows that his account has sufficient funds.
"Back at home his family does not have a single cent to buy bread or other basic necessities. The customer doesn't even have the money to travel back home. What do you expect him or her to do? It's a wonder people haven't started destroying banks and looting them.
"It is immoral and illegal, but I'm aware there are many bank officials who have been taking advantage of the cash crisis to enrich themselves. They ask clients for huge kickbacks, or use the client's savings to buy foreign currency, which they pocket without the knowledge or consent of the customers.
"That practice, however, seems to have gone down after a number of the bank officials, some of them very senior, were arrested."

British expats stopped flying home to Spain in post-Brexit chaos
Some British expats have been prevented from getting back to their homes in Spain post-Brexit.
Travellers were denied permission to board a joint BA-Iberia flight to Madrid because their Spanish residency papers were no longer seen as valid, the Guardian reported.
Max Duncan, a journalist, told the paper that his green card was no longer recognised as proof of residence despite assurances from the Spanish and British governments that the old foreign national identification (NIE) document and the new foreign ID card (TIE) remained valid.
He said he had tried to board the 10.55am flight to Madrid from Heathrow and was turned back, along with seven other residents.
Travellers from Britain are currently restricted from flying to Spain, from December 22 until January 19, because of the discovery of a new variant of coronavirus which is more infectious.
But Spanish citizens and residents are supposed to be exempt from this change.
A couple who were told their green NIE card was invalid following Brexit

https://twitter.com/ukinspain/status/1345447127451922434
The British embassy in Madrid tweeted yesterday that the green card was still valid, saying: 'This should not be happening, the Spanish authorities have reconfirmed again this evening that the green residency document will be valid for travel to return to Spain as stated in our travel advice.'
Patricia Moody was also turned away from the flight to Madrid along with her husband.
She said the PCR coronavirus tests they bought, which cost £249, are no longer valid for travel as too much time has elapsed.
In a statement, Spain's Foreign Ministry said there had been 'an isolated communication problem with some airlines that affected a very small number of travellers; and that air traffic between the UK and Spain was proceeding 'with normality' by mid-Sunday.
Iberia said in a statement today that a communication from Spain's border police on January 1 had created 'some confusion' and that it was later clarified.
BA said in a statement: 'In these difficult and unprecedented times with dynamic travel restrictions, we are doing everything we can to help and support our customers.'
