When You Dream about Roller Coaster – Spiritual Meaning
Susan Brunton 40 mins ago
Dreaming of riding a rollercoaster can be interpreted in different ways.
What this dream means for you will depend on your life circumstances, but for most people, it symbolizes a challenge or a bumpy ride that may seem scary at first but ultimately allows them to have fun.
In this article, we will explore the meaning behind the roller coaster dream and break down how different components of the dream may reflect various aspects of your waking life.
Challenge in Life
Dreams of riding a roller coaster often signify a major challenge or obstacle that needs to be overcome.
The thrill and excitement of going up and down represent the ups and downs you experience when attempting something difficult or venturing into unfamiliar territory.
As you ride through each loop and twist in the track, it could symbolize overcoming obstacles and conquering fears.
If you find yourself clinging tightly to the cart during turbulence, it may show your determination to stay focused and dedicated even during difficult times.
Bumpy Ride
The reality is that life can be unpredictable at times, which is why dreams about roller coasters are such apt metaphors for our harsh reality.
Just like with an actual roller coaster, there will be surprises throughout your journey—some good and some bad—so make sure you're prepared for anything that might come your way!
Dreaming about losing control on a rollercoaster may also refer to the inability to manage hardships or changes in one's waking life.
Scary Situation
In addition to symbolizing challenges, rides on a roller coaster also evoke fear and anxiety; this represents the uncertainty of what lies ahead and the potential difficulties that might arise due to taking risks or making certain life choices.
It could point to worries regarding job security, maintaining relationships, financial stability, and so on; whatever doubts plague you daily might manifest themselves in these nightmares about losing control while riding such machines!
Lastly, remember that despite all its ups and downs—speaking—roller coasters are usually quite fun!
Dreaming about these amusement park attractions could reflect how much joy you find in trying new things, embracing change, and taking risks; sometimes, fearful situations can end up being exciting opportunities instead!
At the same time, however, be mindful not to approach every challenge rashly without preparing beforehand; otherwise, it may not be as fun or exciting as expected.
Falling off a Roller Coaster
Dreaming about falling off a roller coaster usually signifies a complete lack of control over certain aspects of your life.
This could be due to external factors, such as external oppression, or internal issues, such as an inability to make decisions independently.
It could also symbolize feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, pressures, or obligations and worrying about the consequences of failure.
Crying Riding a Roller Coaster
Dreams involving crying while riding a rollercoaster suggest sadness and despair, which may have been caused by recent life events or even something from the past.
In such cases, it is also important to process these emotions to move forward.
Being Sick Riding A Roller Coaster
If you have dreamed of vomiting while riding a roller coaster, this likely implies that your chosen lifestyle is taking its toll on your mental and physical health.
It's time to slow down and give yourself some breathing room!
On a Roller Coaster Alone
Dreams involving being alone on a roller coaster can indicate isolation from those around you; it may represent loneliness or detachment from friends and family members who are usually part of your day-to-day life.
Alternatively, it could reflect how you feel when social support is lacking.
Riding A Roller Coaster With No Seatbelts
The dangerous nature of not having safety measures is symbolized in dreams about riding without seatbelts.
This shows that you may neglect your personal needs regarding relationships, work, education, etc., and go too fast without security blankets!
Perform self-analysis if necessary, so you don't end up crashing into something unexpectedly due to putting yourself at too much risk!
With A Partner
Finally, if someone joins you for the ride on the roller coaster in your dream—be they close friends or strangers—this indicates strong bonds between people that are unbreakable no matter what comes their way.
Whether it be fear or excitement, joy or sorrow, what matters most is the support system behind us that helps us go through our journey undaunted!
In conclusion, dreams about roller coasters often represent the challenges, fears, and uncertainties we experience in our daily lives.
It maybe not be very comforting at first, but ultimately, this dream can help us better understand our circumstances and how best to navigate them.
By considering different components of the dream, such as whether one is alone or with somebody else or if there are safety measures in place, we can identify areas of life that may need to be addressed and situations that should be approached more cautiously to achieve success.

Q: (android) ImageView gets bigger when i set background When "btn_report_addImage1" is clicked, the app call camera function to take a picture.  then, the button is gone and the inner relativeLayout is appeared to show the picture i took and to show remove button on the top-right side of the picture.
The problem is:
I set the size of the image view with 65dp for width and height.
But when the picture is shown on the imageView, the picture gets bigger than before.

                    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
            </RelativeLayout>
        </RelativeLayout>

A: You have given the scaleType as fitXY. That's the reason. android:scaleType="fitXY"

A: Scaling Image to fit the view in both the Axis we call fitXY, in your case you have already defined the l*b of Image, So remove the ScaleType = fitXY:
               <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/image_report_image1"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent" />
                // scaleType removed

A: You can set ImageView scaleType 'centerCrop'.
        <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/image_report_image1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

A: try to add image pragmatically in src. so you can get image size proper and display proper.

Q: MacOS - legal way to get admin password I want to create application that use admin password to run some scripts in bash. For example:
 echo **pass** | sudo -S reboot

What is the best way to get it.
I looked this tutorial, and all of what I understood - it is how to run authorization window.
AuthorizationRef authRef= NULL;
AuthorizationItem right = { "com.my.app", 0, NULL, 0 };
AuthorizationRights rightSet = { 1, &right };
OSStatus status;

if (AuthorizationCreate(
                        NULL,
                        kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment,
                        kAuthorizationFlagDefaults,
                        &authRef) != errAuthorizationSuccess)
{
    NSLog(@"Could not create authorization reference object.");
}

status = AuthorizationCopyRights(authRef, &rightSet, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment,
                                 kAuthorizationFlagDefaults |
                                 kAuthorizationFlagPreAuthorize |
                                 kAuthorizationFlagInteractionAllowed |
                                 kAuthorizationFlagExtendRights,
                                 NULL);

Is there a way to get password after this steps?
Or all of this wrong  - and exist another way?
Thanks!

A: You cannot (and should not) get the actual password. The OS doesn't even know what it is. This is on purpose. As you note, you should create a small helper program whose privileges you can escalate.
If at all possible, you should avoid the shell entirely. It is very fragile. It is much better to write a pure C/ObjC program that does just what you want and elevate its privileges.

The "Gummo" rapper is singing like a bird and Uncle Snoop has had enough.
Hip-Hop has long frowned upon the so-called snitch culture and a veteran of the game has seen enough from Tekashi 6ix9ine. After the "Gummo" rapper started singing like a bird and working with the Feds, Uncle Snoop Dogg had some choice words for the troubled star.
With his hair wrapped as it usually is during his downtime, Snoop took to Instagram to roast Tekashi for cooperating with the authorities regarding the extensive list of charges he's facing.
"I look like your auntie but that n*gga acting like your auntie telling on n*ggas," Snoop says during the video.
He added, "after the government shutdown, the n*gga decides to work with the government," sparking laughter from Snoop and unseen crew members also laughing in the back.

Human Rights, Obama Administration
Syrian Rebels Balk at Peace Talks
May 23, 2013 • 4 Comments
Russia and the Obama administration have made some moves toward seeking a peace settlement in Syria, even as Russia bolsters its support for Bashar al-Assad's embattled regime. But an obstacle has emerged as the deeply divided Syrian rebels balk at meeting with Assad's representatives, ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
By Paul R. Pillar
Reasonable people can disagree on what to do about Syria, a problem with no good solutions, and particularly about what to do regarding aid to Syrian rebels. There ought not to be disagreement, however, on not letting the United States, a would-be benefactor, get pushed around or have its diplomacy subverted by the rebels, who are the supplicants.
Yet that becomes a possibility when we hear the head of the rebel Syrian National Coalitionthrow cold water on the peace conference that Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart agreed to arrange and say that his group will withhold agreement to attend until it sees who from the Assad regime might be coming.
In a public statement at this week's "Friends of Syria" meeting, Kerry linked the concept of increased aid to the rebels to any unwillingness by the Assad regime to participate in peace talks. One hopes he has conveyed a converse message in private to rebel representatives.
There would be nothing wrong with also making such a message public. It would be part of a consistent policy whereby U.S. decisions about aid to rebels would be governed by the willingness or unwillingness of each side to negotiate and to negotiate seriously.
Amid all the talk about Assad having to go, there is no reason from the standpoint of U.S. interests to consider his departure an end in itself. It is at most a means to achieve other ends, having to do with instability or extremism in Syria.
An even more fundamental distinction is between objectives, either ultimate or intermediate, and diplomatic modalities such as who exactly will be sitting at a negotiating table. In general, regardless of the objectives, including parties is better than excluding them, which only makes them more likely to be spoilers. This principle goes for outsiders, including Iran.
As for the insiders and specifically the Assad regime, it would be hard to label as peace talks any process in which that regime was not fully at the table in the form of representatives of its own choice. Moreover, think of the incentives, to talk or to fight, to cooperate or to spoil, of the regime's supporters.
A wide range of possibilities for a new Syria would share the common feature of not having Bashar Assad in charge. But those possibilities can be very different from each other in terms of the ability of those currently supporting the regime to live useful lives in the new Syria, or to live at all.
If they do not believe their interests will be fairly represented in creation of a new order, they are more likely to see the only course as a fight to the death. Anyone who does not acknowledge that reality does not deserve assistance.
Paul R. Pillar, in his 28 years at the Central Intelligence Agency, rose to be one of the agency's top analysts. He is now a visiting professor at Georgetown University for security studies.

"Reasonable people can disagree on what to do about Syria, a problem with no good solutions"
Actually there is a perfectly good solution: stop arming the criminals and they war will end rather quickly.
Peter Loeb
The Syrian "rebels" —a vague term at best— have NEVER been willing to negotiate. The Assad regime has been willing to negotiate for years (See UN negotiations) but the "rebels" have figured out that if they pretend to
support "democracy" and "order" they will get whatever weapons they wish. Other
extremist groups have used the very same strategy. Al-Quaeda knew that the
US and its allies would give to fight the communists. Al Quesda took weapons
and more. They fought as our poxy in Afghanistan and kept the weapons which
as we know were then used on the USA. This administration knows that the
extremists (not the same as "Muslims"!!!~) will do likewise. Reports of their
Sharia Kangaroo courts, the executions and disappearance of those suspected
of support for Assad are routinely suppressed. They spoil the fake picture of
so-called "democrats". Many observers are not convinced (Patrick Cockburn,
Shamus Cooke etc.).
The Gulf states have historically wanted to conquer Syria. Likewise Israel
which is hoping for full US support at last.
Was the Assad government a model? Never. In fact, they were a prime destination
for torture by the CIA's "extraordinary rendition". Along with many other of our so-called "allies". Morrocco. Egypt whose torture of the Society of Muslim
Brothers was never objected to by the US. Instead our funding of Murbarak
increased year by year to guarantee that Egypt(under Murbarak) would do Israel's wishes and participate in the Israeli blockade of territory it had
cruelly occupied.
Don Bacon
The SNC is balking because the disorganized fighting groups of foreign-backed insurgents and terrorists are not motivated to back the SNC. In fact there is little connection between the FSA, al-Nusrah and the US-appointed SNC leaders, including "prime minister" Ghassan Hitto, recently from Murphy, Texas.
Also Syria isn't strongly motivated to negotiate with insurgents and terrorists. Why should it? Who would?
SecState Kerry seems to be setting up the upcoming failed negotiations as an excuse to escalate military support for the insurgents and terrorists.
Considering the extent of the slaughter going on, getting snooty about who they are willing to negotiate with says a lot about some of the rebels concern for the lives of their fellow Syrians.

Sterne Agee Top Infrastructure Building Stock Picks for 2014
By Jon C. Ogg	January 16, 2014 11:30 am
Sterne Agee is out with its top picks in engineering and construction, which is the key infrastructure sector for the rest of us. The firm's Mike Dudas and Patrick Uotila are expecting a favorable 2014 for the sector.
Growth drivers are said to be multiple cyclical project investment opportunities in North America. Another driver is the expected accelerated backlog additions coming in 2014 and 2015. The team believes that Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (NYSE: CBI), Fluor Corp. (NYSE: FLR) and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE: JEC) will all greatly benefit from shale monetization. URS Corp. (NYSE: URS) was highlighted as a beneficiary of enhanced private sector focus, and capital allocation changes should allow for upside. Sterne Agee has Buy ratings on all four companies.
Some key outlooks include the following trends and issues for 2014:
The engineering and construction group outperformed during 2013, a trend that the firm expects to continue through 2014 supported by strong momentum.
Shale development in North America should continue to support robust upstream plans in liquefied natural gas, chemicals, gas-to-liquids and multiple industrial derivatives supported by global economic improvement.
Following a soft 2012 and better 2013, Sterne Agee believes the U.S. and global industrial spending cycle should show good growth and allow order support for engineering and construction firms as general manufacturers gear-up capital spending.
North American proposals for liquid natural gas (LNG) and petrochemical development now exceed $240 billion, compared to roughly $130 billion the firm identified at this time last year.
The firm suggests investors focus on equities supported by solid management teams, exposure to North American energy development, measured risk mitigation and cash generation.
Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (NYSE: CBI) is picked based on sustainable long-term EPS growth and a unique business model. Sterne Agee said that CB&I appears diversified and well positioned to benefit from multiple energy growth opportunities over the next decade. Its price target is $100 for the stock, above the consensus price target of $87.50 and the $81.75 current price. Be advised that the $100 price target is the street high.
Fluor Corp. (NYSE: FLR) is supported by strong cyclical oil and gas and energy backlog momentum. The firm noted that Fluor has historically earned a premium multiple as the leading global contractor. Its target price of $85 for the stock compares to a current price of $79.42 and an $84.67 consensus price target. The street's highest price target is not from Sterne Agee, but it is up at $97.00.
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE: JEC) is picked based on its chemical leverage and broad-based recovery among its diverse end markets. Sterne Agee said that Jacobs remains a high-quality equity that reflects a long-term defendable business model with a solid management team and a conservative and strong financial profile. Its acquisition of SKM is also expected to be accretive in 2014 and also should bring more international growth. Sterne Agee's $70 price target compares to a street consensus of $67.44 and a street high of $78.00. The current share price is about $65.15.
URS Corp. (NYSE: URS) was chosen for its expansion of private sector revenues and enhanced capital allocation strategies. The firm said that URS is continuing to transition from muted public sector markets to private sector attractive growth opportunities including oil & gas markets. Sterne Agee's $60 price target compares to a consensus of $53.85 and a current share price of $51.95. Sterne Agee does represent the street high here as well.
Infrastructure firms have had to rely mostly on international growth opportunities in the past decade. With the U.S. energy infrastructure buildup and with hopes that the United States may finally invest in its ailing infrastructure, now the companies have huge opportunities inside the country as well.

As of the moment there isn't a back up netminder.
Glen Jackson or Michael Gray???
I suppose Nat Rose also qualifies - but I thought he had a job up north.
We're all guessing at NIHL S players, but it could be someone who played NIHL N but has come south to go to uni or for work.
The first guess was right, Grant Baxter has left NIHL 1 and has joined the Mustangs who as a team welcome home with open arms.
Thanks for the "rolling updates".
As with Holt, it's good to see Swarbrick getting back into it.
So, based on the announcements in this thread and other info in the public domain the following players from last season have re-signed: Laurence Billing, Joshua Carle, Matthew Daubney, Thomas Dennis, Matthew Drake, Bradley Gutridge, Jack Lee, Jack Luton, Charles Schofield, Richard Smith, Danny Terry.
The following players who didn�t play for the Mustangs last season have signed up: Mark Stokes, Kwame Holt, Conor Swarbrick, Jack Jackson, Ash Earll, Grant Baxter.
Lillis, Fudger and D Jackson all iced at some point last season and have moved to the Dynamos. That leaves the following players who played last season and are apparently not playing this season: Peter Beerling, Aaron Ferris, Jack Hussey, Ashley Jackson, Wesley Jackson, Kevin Lake, Andrew Moffat, Jamie Smith.
Seventeen players have been announced. Is that enough? Are there more on the way?

Bond investor Gundlach denounces MMT as 'pretzel logic on steroids'
Julia La Roche
Top bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach, the CEO of $150 billion DoubleLine Capital, slammed Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), a hot topic as federal deficit spending climbs with no end in sight.
The trendy economic theory is centered around the idea that the federal government can effectively print money without regard for balancing spending and taxes, and has been embraced by populist politicians like U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
Yet in a Yahoo Finance interview, Gundlach dismissed MMT as "ridiculous," "highly illogical," and "pretzel logic on steroids." Calling out its "false appeal," the billionaire hit out at the idea of politicians who think the government can print money ad infinitem.
"It just says, 'Hey, if you're borrowing your own currency, you can just have infinite amounts of money," Gundlach said in a recent wide-ranging conversation with Yahoo Finance.
"Basically, what they're doing is they're saying, 'As long as the interest rate is below the growth of the economy, then everything's fine. And, so it's OK to have basically tons of debt as long as the economic growth is there, and so on,'" the billionaire explained.
Gundlach isn't the only one speaking out against MMT. Fellow billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones has also criticized the theory, as have mainstream Democrats like former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers — who in a recent Washington Post Op-Ed called it "a recipe for disaster."
'It makes your brain hurt'
Gundlach, who has sounded the alarm on the debt bomb America is sitting on, pointed out that the idea behind MMT is flawed.
The idea that the government can borrow infinite amounts of money because gross domestic product (GDP) has been growing is "meaningless" — because no one knows what economic growth will look like in the future, he explained.
"When you issue all the bonds for 10 or 30 years, that's a fixed interest rate. So the fact that interest rate is lower than the growth of the economy — that sounds pretty good — but what happens if the growth of the economy turns negative?" he asked.
"Well, then MMT gets blown out of the water" once growth falters, he added.
Gundlach admitted to watching videos of folks who are big proponents of MMT, and he can see how people get sucked into the idea.
"[It] just makes your brain hurt to watch these videos, because they use these bizarre analogies that actually the government is not borrowing money, they're investing in the economy, is kind of the way they try to turn it," the billionaire told Yahoo Finance.
"And when you watch it, you can actually get kind of sucked into the logic. And then you kind of suddenly get a big — a cold bucket of water drops on your head," he added.
"And you go like, 'This is just pretzel logic taken to — pretzel logic on steroids really.' So MMT is just completely nonsensical," Gundlach stated.

DEGREESAby John Camp DEGREESDThe ancient Greeks set out from their mountainous land at the end of the Balkan peninsula to colonize and settle almost all the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts. These remarkable people have left their imprint on virtually every aspect of modern politics, theater, art, philosophy, medicine, architecture, and athletics.
Here is their story, told within its historical and cultural framework. The eastern Mediterranean has always been a point of contact and conflict between East and West, and the book relates how the Greeks interacted, both peaceably and otherwise, with the surrounding culturesuMinoans, Phoenicians, Lydians, Persians, and Romans. Herodotus began his account of the Persian Wars in the fifth century BC by saying that the trouble started 700 years earlier, with the events leading up to the Trojan War. Over time the struggle surged back and forth across the Aegean: Greece against Troy, Greek migration and settlement in Asia Minor, Persian invasions of Greece, Alexander's conquest of Asia, Roman intervention in the Greek world.
The world of the ancient Greeks is presented here in chronological order, from the Bronze Age to the Christian era, a span of some 3,500 years. Athens plays a large role, but other Greek cities are given much closer attention than in standard accounts. Individual chapters look at the Greeks and their gods, and Greek art and architecture. The result is a sweeping and authoritative survey of a culture that made an unparalleled contribution to the rise of Western civilization. 280 illustrations and phtotographs, 90 in color.

Introduction: Qualcomm has been one of the promoters of many recent or upcoming VR all-in-ones, and its Opteron chip is the core of many VR all-in-ones. And through Qualcomm's latest reference design, it will be a good preview of the upcoming devices.
On the second day of the US local time on January 9th, CES 2019, Gyrobacteria came to the Qualcomm exhibition hall and saw the VR prototype displayed on site. This prototype is produced by Acer, and the mainframe is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip, which uses 5G and can be inserted into SIM card. The content in the host is produced by NextVR, and the main purpose is to show 5G application scenarios.
Qualcomm has been one of the promoters of many recent or upcoming VR all-in-ones, and its Snapdragon chip is at the heart of many VR all-in-ones. And through Qualcomm's latest reference design, it will be a good preview of the upcoming devices.
At the exhibition, gyro also interviewed Walker Curtis, technical leader of Qualcomm VR products.
Gyrobacteria observed in the field, from the appearance, this prototype uses a headband design, the central has a flexible shaft. Supports Inside-Out tracking, headphones on both sides of the headband, detachable. From the experience, the screen is clear, the single-eye resolution can reach 2160 X 2160, and the visual effect is good. The device uses an LCD screen with a frame count of up to 90 Hz, which is significantly improved in pixels compared to high-end head-ups such as the Vive Pro.
The new screen also greatly reduces the screen window effect and displays the sharpest image. Qualcomm's reference headline looks more compact than a similar head, about 85°.
Qualcomm's reference headshow also gives us an idea of the smartphone network sharing capabilities and the devices that power it on Cosmos. The headphone is connected to the Qualcomm MTP-8150 (early hardware test suite) based on the Opteron 855 chip and supports 5G. The MTP-8150 is like a reference device for smartphones that powers heads, renders content and handles the calculations required for optical 6DoF tracking. Qualcomm has a local 5G network setup that uses streaming video content from NextVR as a 5G displaycontent.
As can be seen from the MTP-8150, HTC may also be able to launch a smartphone equipped with the Opteron 855, supporting 5G and compatible with Vive Cosmos. This VR reference design is no longer a VR all-in-one, but a split-type VR device with dual attributes that supports both a connected phone and a PC.
For why to make this external form reference design, Walker said: "We will do more all-in-one design There will be more external reference designs. There are different markets for the two types of devices. Although this design looks a bit bulky, the electronics inside are actually very simple, so the cost is lower, the weight It is also lighter and can be connected to the user's mobile phone."
This head display can be controlled by the MTP-8150 external device equipped with the Snapdragon 855 chip and 5G function. Walker also said that users do not need such a large device, just connect their mobile phone with the USB-C interface. This design reference uses Inside-Out tracking, supports a variety of control handles, and has 6DoF.
Qualcomm said that in addition to the host in the experience zone, which is slightly larger than the smartphone, the headphone can be driven by other mobile phones and point to a 5G mobile phone displayed in the window (left). Also equipped with Qualcomm 855 chips.
For the external VR and VR all-in-one which will be the mainstream of the future, Walker said: "It depends on the market, which is why our company has done two forms of equipment. Strong, operationIt's simpler and more convenient to wear. If you want high added value and achieve more individual purposes, you need to have accessories like a smartphone instead of an expensive device. A smartphone may already cost $150-$200. If you can pair it with a relatively inexpensive split VR headset and have a good VR experience, not just a slideshow, many people might buy. It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Of course, all of the above are my personal views.
In addition, Walker also revealed that the current display in the exhibition hall is only a reference design version, not a consumer version. Qualcomm will work with other OEMs and ODMs to produce the final consumer version of the device. At the same time, for the final consumer version, Walker said that he did not have more information, but guessed that the final product may be more than one, the appearance may continue the current design.
Gyrojun experienced HTC VIVE Cosmos and Qualcomm split VR head display at CES site, feeling that there are more similarities between the two.询问 Asked Walker about VIVE Cosmos, but the other party said that he only saw it in the article report and did not personally experience it.
In addition to the settings and shape of the two, the two heads seem to be aimed at the same target market. On the day of the HTC conference, Gyrojun also interviewed Wang Congqing, president of HTC China. He mentioned that Cosmos is a consumer-oriented product, and the target customer is "the consumer group who did not want to buy or consider buying VR before." This is undoubtedly consistent with the goal of Qualcomm to launch this VR head display. In the previous article, Walker also mentioned that Qualcomm's head is aimed at the general population of smart devices, not the enterprise side.
It can be said that the reference design of this split VR all-in-one machine introduced by Qualcomm also shows a new development direction for VR hardware equipment. As the most popular and most necessary terminal product, mobile phones are already in consumption.The market has taken a deep root, and by providing a better experience with a mobile phone or a mini host as a driving carrier, VR head display will be more easily accepted by the consumer market.


On Saturday, June 16, 2018 cricket fans in attendance at the Roy Sweeney Cricket Oval, Gateway Park, in Brooklyn. New York, watching the finals of the Public Schools Athletic League (PSAL) cricket tournament were treated to a clinic in power hitting by young US cricket prospect Alix Husain.
The eventual Man-of-the-Match put on a display of batsmanship reminiscent of Shane Watson's extravagant hitting in the finals of the recently concluded Indian Premier League. The over 500 individuals who showed up to take in the 11th championship final in PSAL thoroughly enjoyed young Husain's knock as he tore into all bowlers put up against him. Alix was a one-man wrecking crew, and he destroyed the bowling attack of his opponents.
The PSAL final this year saw the John Adams Spartans doing battle with the Jamaica Beavers. Mother Nature cooperated well with us the cricket lovers, by giving us excellent cricket weather. It was sunny and hot, but the cool and refreshing breeze blowing in from the nearby Jamaica Bay, was in fact invigorating. The crowd consisted mostly of kids from the various other high schools that took part in this year's tournament, but did not reach the finals. Several officials from the various adult cricket leagues in the New York City area were also in attendance. It was a most appropriate setting for a cricket game of this magnitude. After all, two cricket teams from two of NYC's most fine high schools were competing for the coveted PSAL Championship for 2018.
Many thought that the contest was a one-sided affair. Some felt that John Adams, figuratively speaking, just "steam-rolled" over the Jamaica boys. But, I saw it differently. I felt it was a match in which either team had the opportunity to override the other. Seizing the opportunity when it pokes its head was the deciding factor of the game. Jamaica missed a golden opportunity to get the prized scalp of the Spartans batsman Alix Husain early in his inning, before he commenced his rampage. It turned out that this mishap could very well be looked at as the play (misplay) that decided the outcome of the match.
There is a saying in cricket circles that "catches win matches". Interpreted as a side holding on to catches offered has a greater chance of winning than the side grassing chances. Well, if this theory stands true, then Jamaica indeed threw away the game to John Adams. The Jamaica fielders gave Alix Husain "three lives." He went on to score a magnificent 95 in just 49 balls. He muscled eleven 6's and three 4's. Alix was ably supported by Fazal Adib had a cameo of an inning of his own, scoring 34 not out, in just 14 balls, bombarding four 6's in his power packed knock. He too, was put down twice.
John Adams' Spartans took first strike. In the 4th over they lost the prolific run scoring opening batsman Avin Gangadin with the score on 17. Next man in Alix Husain and opener Tamesh Persaud took the score to 55 and then Persaud fell at the other end, The Spartans skipper was tearing the bowling at the seam. By the end of the 11th over Spartans was 94 for 4. Alix was the only Spartans batsman who was able to negotiate the Beavers' bowling attack, while wickets were falling at the other end.
Let's turn back the clock a few overs. On 13 runs, Al Alix Husain and his partner attempted to take a sharp leg-bye. He was stranded at mid wicket when the fieldsman behind the keeper totally mishandled the fielding chance. The ball trickled through his fingers and legs. Had he gathered and simply lobbed the ball in to the 'keeper, Alix Husain would have been run out "by a mile." That was one play that the Jamaica boys "lived to regret." Immediately after, Alix commenced on a hitting spree. Two more chances he offered when on 72 and 75 in the same over were not accepted and he went on to score 95. He was ably assisted by Fazlul Adib who himself scored 34 not out after being let off twice. In the last 5.3 overs Adams scored 73 runs, a run rate of over 14 per over. During this period Fazlul was dropped when he was on 4 and again on 7. Jamaica had just squandered the game with those let offs. The John Adams Spartans inning closed at 187 for 8. Indeed, a tall order for a side chasing such a large total. Talk about "scoreboard pressure"! The most successful bowler for Jamaica was Kapeshwar Jagdeo (4 for 32) and Redwan Ahmed (2 for 31).
Having to chase 188 run for the win was indeed, a tall order for Jamaica. But, getting the required runs was not beyond the capabilities of the Jamaica Beavers. Four times during the season they had amassed in excess of the 200 run mark. But, it was evident, from the body language of the Beavers, that the final five overs of the Spartans inning had dampened their spirits. Several of the Jamaica batsmen were out to injudicious shot selections. It was clear that they were "in a hurry to catch the last train". Hey, the train wasn't going anywhere! All they had to do was to put their heads down, their shoulders against the grinding wheel, and chip away at the Spartans total. But, I suppose the 188 runs for victory was plaguing them.
First to go in the Jamaica inning was their run-getter, captain Mohammed Hussain. He went on the last ball in the first over of the Jamaica inning, caught off the bowling of his counterpart Alix Husain, for 0. Within the period of three overs Jamaica was languishing at 3 for 21. A fourth-wicket partnership of 36 between Redwan Ahmed (41) and Mohammed Mahib put a "little life" back into the Jamaica inning. With the fall on Mahib (13), Shad Hussain (53) and Redwan put on a 31-run partnership. But once the partnership was broken, the end appeared on the horizon. From 5 for 88 in 13.5 overs, Jamaica slipped to 8 for 95 at the 16.1 over mark. 14 balls, 7 runs, 3 wickets!
In the 18th over the Jamaica supporters were treated to some lofty hitting by Shad Hussain. In that fateful over, bowled by Alix Husain, Shad took him for 20 runs. In his 53-run inning, he hit six 4's and three 6's. With the fall of Shad's wicket in the 19th over, the end and result was imminent, a loss for Jamaica, and a third PSAL championship title for John Adams.
In the Spartans bowling effort, Tamesh Persaud was the most successful with a haul of 3 for 23. Joining him in the wicket taking were Alix Husain (1 for 40), Fazlul Adib (2 for 13), Avin Gangadin (1 for 25), and Navindra Singh (2 for 23). That combined bowling effort, supported by excellent fielding, accounted for this well-deserved victory, and the championship. After all, the John Adams Spartans played unbeaten ball for the entire season.
Congratulations to Coach Alex Navarette, his assistants, his players, and the entire school body. Way to go Champs!


And a peek at what we have been doing in the evenings....playing Bingo. Isn't great to teach your minor children how to gamble at a young age? Actually, there are no prizes or money involved. It is strictly just for fun. Grampie is Mr. Caller. We play a game or two before bed.

Q: Cygwin not cooperating This is gonna sound very simple for you guys but I've never installed cygwin and the tutorial I used gave no contingency plan for when something goes wrong. I added the path C:\cygwin\bin to my Path and when I try to run ls or pwd from cmd.exe nothing seems to work. What did I do wrong with this install?

A: You have a spurious extra space in your path setting just before the C:\cygwin\bin entry:  ...wsPowerShell\v1.0\; C:\cygwin\bin;C:\Program Files\Com....  Do you see it now?

A: The Cygwin installer should be creating a shortcut for a Cygwin prompt. You shouldn't need to be changing your PATH or anything. Actually, if you're using a recent Cygwin, the default terminal program is now mintty. If really necessary (though it shouldn't be), you can manually create a shortcut that runs C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe.

Q: multiprocessing when getting URLs python 3.2 I've made a script to get inventory data from the Steam API and I'm a bit unsatisfied with the speed. So I read a bit about multiprocessing in python and simply cannot wrap my head around it. The program works as such: it gets the SteamID from a list, gets the inventory and then appends the SteamID and the inventory in a dictionary with the ID as the key and inventory contents as the value.
I've also  understood that there are some issues involved with using a counter when multiprocessing, which is a small problem as I'd like to be able to resume the program from the last fetched inventory rather than from the beginning again.
Anyway, what I'm asking for is really a concrete example of how to do multiprocessing when opening the URL that contains the inventory data so that the program can fetch more than one inventory at a time rather than just one.
onto the code:
with open("index_to_name.json", "r", encoding=("utf-8")) as fp:
    index_to_name=json.load(fp)

with open("index_to_quality.json", "r", encoding=("utf-8")) as fp:
    index_to_quality=json.load(fp)

with open("index_to_name_no_the.json", "r", encoding=("utf-8")) as fp:
    index_to_name_no_the=json.load(fp)

with open("steamprofiler.json", "r", encoding=("utf-8")) as fp:
    steamprofiler=json.load(fp)

with open("itemdb.json", "r", encoding=("utf-8")) as fp:
    players=json.load(fp)

error=list()
playerinventories=dict()
c=127480

while c<len(steamprofiler):
    inventory=dict()
    items=list()
    try:
        url=urllib.request.urlopen("http://api.steampowered.com/IEconItems_440/GetPlayerItems/v0001/?key=DD5180808208B830FCA60D0BDFD27E27&steamid="+steamprofiler[c]+"&format=json")
        inv=json.loads(url.read().decode("utf-8"))
        url.close()
    except (urllib.error.HTTPError, urllib.error.URLError, socket.error, UnicodeDecodeError) as e:
        c+=1
        print("HTTP-error, continuing")
        error.append(c)
        continue
    try:
        for r in inv["result"]["items"]:
            inventory[r["id"]]=r["quality"], r["defindex"]
    except KeyError:
        c+=1
        error.append(c)
        continue
    for key in inventory:
        try:
            if index_to_quality[str(inventory[key][0])]=="":
                items.append(
                    index_to_quality[str(inventory[key][0])]
                    +""+
                    index_to_name[str(inventory[key][1])]
                    )
            else:
                items.append(
                    index_to_quality[str(inventory[key][0])]
                    +" "+
                    index_to_name_no_the[str(inventory[key][1])]
                    )
        except KeyError:
            print("keyerror, uppdate def_to_index")
            c+=1
            error.append(c)
            continue
    playerinventories[int(steamprofiler[c])]=items
    c+=1
    if c % 10==0:
        print(c, "inventories downloaded")

I hope my problem was clear, otherwise just say so obviously. I would optimally avoid using 3rd party libraries but if it's not possible it's not possible. Thanks in advance

A: So you're assuming the fetching of the URL might be the thing slowing your program down? You'd do well to check that assumption first, but if it's indeed the case using the multiprocessing module is a huge overkill: for I/O bound bottlenecks threading is quite a bit simpler and might even be a bit faster (it takes a lot more time to spawn another python interpreter than to spawn a thread).
Looking at your code, you might get away with sticking most of the content of your while loop in a function with c as a parameter, and starting a thread from there using another function, something like:
def process_item(c):
    # The work goes here
    # Replace al those 'continue' statements with 'return'

for c in range(127480, len(steamprofiler)):
    thread = threading.Thread(name="inventory {0}".format(c), target=process_item, args=[c])
    thread.start()

A real problem might be that there's no limit to the amount of threads being spawned, which might break the program. Also the guys at Steam might not be amused at getting hammered by your script, and they might decide to un-friend you.
A better approach would be to fill a collections.deque object with your list of c's and then start a limited set of threads to do the work:
def process_item(c):
    # The work goes here
    # Replace al those 'continue' statements with 'return'

def process():
    while True:
       process_item(work.popleft())

work = collections.deque(range(127480, len(steamprofiler)))

threads = [threading.Thread(name="worker {0}".format(n), target=process)
                   for n in range(6)]
for worker in threads:
    worker.start()

Note that I'm counting on work.popleft() to throw an IndexError when we're out of work, which will kill the thread. That's a bit sneaky, so consider using a try...except instead.
Two more things:

*

*Consider using the excellent Requests library instead of urllib (which, API-wise, is by far the worst module in the entire Python standard library that I've worked with).

*For Requests, there's an add-on called grequests which allows you to do fully asynchronous HTTP-requests. That would have made for even simpler code.

I hope this helps, but please keep in mind this is all untested code.

A: The outermost while loop seems to be distributed over a few processes(or tasks).
When you break the loop into tasks, note that you are sharing playerinventories and error object between processes. You will need to use multiprocessing.Manager for the sharing issue.
I recommend you to start modifying your code from this snippet.

Q: JavaScript/HTML5 Guitar, Playing a different sound for each string Here is a link to my code: http://jsbin.com/ebadic/9/edit
It is from a demo I found here (this links explains how it works, the part i'm using is at the bottom):
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/casestudies/jamwithchrome-interaction/
It creates 6 guitar strings. What I would like to do is have a sound play when one of the 6 strings is moused over - A different sound for each string, or a single sound that is pitched up/down for each string (perhaps using the playbackRate attribute)
My code already plays a sound when I mouseover a single string, but the problem is that it plays the same sound for each one. How do I make it play a DIFFERENT SOUND for each string?

A: You call strum() here:
Stage.prototype.checkPoint = function(x, y, zone) {
    if(zone.inside(x, y)) {
        zone.string.strum();
    }
};

Why not add an <audio> identifier here?
I suppose the sound you want to play depends on the x and y coordinates?
Stage.prototype.checkPoint = function(x, y, zone) {
    if(zone.inside(x, y)) {
        zone.string.strum(getAudioID(x, y));
    }
};

How you fill in the getAudioID(x, y) is up to you (I am no musician, so I really do not know :) )
Of course you'd need to change the strum() method as well to something like this:
GuitarString.prototype.strum = function(audioID) {
    this._strumForce = 5;
    document.getElementById(audioID).play();
};

(Up to here fits nicely into your current design.)

A better approach is to add the audioID to your GuitarString class when you instantiate the guitar string objects. So each guitar string (object) uses its own audio track.
Even though this would require some bigger modifications to your code, I would advice to do it this way as it results in much clear and understandable code!

Also checkout Sound effects in JavaScript / HTML5 it shows how you can play audio tracks without using the <audio>-tag. This is particular useful when you have many audio fragments!


Home » How much time should children spend online?
At WaveLength, we believe that technology, social media and the Internet are tools. Like any tool, their outcomes depend on the way they are used. Social media is not always bad for children, and spending time in front of screens is not necessarily isolating. Technology, social media and the Internet connect people in a way that little else can. Communicating with a friend through WhatsApp or Snapchat is not less valuable than talking to them face-to-face. In many instances these tools allow people to maintain friendships across great distances and different time zones.
Robert Hannigan said "Life online and "real" life are not separate: they are all part of the same experience." The digital world is here to stay, and it is becoming an increasingly large part of everyone's daily life. Telling children that technology is bad for them will not prepare them for their future. It may even stop them from developing valuable friendships and maintaining connections with others.
We agree with Hannigan when he says we need to challenge the assumption that time in front of a screen is wasted. Nobody can deny the importance of developing rich social lives, building friendships and spending quality time with other people. As another report released this week reminded us, loneliness is a greater threat to public health than obesity. But technology doesn't make people more isolated. In fact, people who are isolated use it as a tool to overcome their loneliness.
Time in front of a screen is not wasted if it allows someone to learn new skills, connect with others, have fun and build friendships. Which is exactly how children should be spending their summer holidays.

UN Vote backs Gaza 'War Crimes' Report by 25-6
The UN Human Rights Council has backed a report into the Israeli offensive in Gaza that accuses both Israel and Palestinian militants of war crimes. The report by Richard Goldstone calls for credible investigations by Israel and Hamas, and suggests international war crimes prosecutions if they do not. Twenty-five countries voted for the resolution, while six were against. Both Israel and the US opposed official endorsement of the report, saying it would set back Middle East peace hopes. The Palestinian Authority initially backed deferring a vote, but changed its position after domestic criticism. Palestinians and human rights groups say more than 1,400 Gazans were killed in the 22-day conflict that ended in January, but Israel puts the figure at 1,166. Thirteen Israelis, including three civilians, were killed.
'Culture of impunity'
Before the vote in Geneva – in which 11 countries abstained and five others, including the UK and France, chose not to vote – the Palestinian Authority's representative argued that the matter was simply about respect for the rule of law. The UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, meanwhile insisted that now was the time to end the "culture of impunity" which continues to prevail in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. In contrast, the Israeli government had lobbied intensively against the resolution, saying the Goldstone report was biased against Israel and removed the right of nations to defend themselves against terrorists. It also complained that the vote was not simply on the Goldstone report, but on a Palestinian-backed resolution that criticised Israel and ignored Hamas. The resolution also made references to recent Israeli actions East Jerusalem that were not in the document. The US deputy representative in Geneva agreed, saying that the resolution's approach and "sweeping conclusions of law" made the prospect of a meaningful Middle East peace process more difficult. Asked why it did not vote, UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband told the BBC that the British and French governments had been "in the middle of detailed discussions with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel about three key issues – the establishment of an independent inquiry, humanitarian aid to Gaza and the restart of the peace process". "The vote was called in the middle of those discussions and we thought it right to continue with our work on the three fundamental issues so that could really contribute to a reversal of what is a dangerous spiral of trust and mistrust in the Middle East," he said.
'One-sided resolution'
The BBC's Tim Franks in Jerusalem says momentum behind the Goldstone report will grow and the UN may take it up in New York. The 575-page report by the South African judge concluded that Israel had "committed actions amounting to war crimes, possibly crimes against humanity" by using disproportionate force, deliberately targeting civilians, using Palestinians as human shields and destroying civilian infrastructure during its offensive in Gaza. It also found there was also evidence that Palestinian militant groups including Hamas, which controls Gaza, had committed war crimes, and possibly crimes against humanity, in their repeated rocket and mortars attacks on southern Israel. The report demanded that unless the parties to the Gaza war investigated the allegations of war crimes within six months, the cases should be referred to the International Criminal Court at The Hague. In the short term, the Human Rights Council resolution will provide some political relief for the Palestinian Authority (PA) President, Mahmoud Abbas, our correspondent says. Mr. Abbas had been the butt of intense criticism among the Palestinian public and from his Islamist rivals in Hamas, for initially trying to delay a vote on the Goldstone report, he adds. In Ramallah, a spokesman for Mr. Abbas welcomed the endorsement of the report and said international action should not end there. "What is important now is to translate words into deeds in order to protect our people in the future from any new aggression," Nabil Abu Rudainah said. A Hamas spokesman told the BBC it also supported further UN action, but said nothing about the charges against the group. "We thank whoever voted for it, and we hope that this vote will be the beginning of the process to bring the Israeli war criminals to justice," Taher al-Nono said. The Israeli foreign ministry rejected the "one-sided resolution", which it said ignored "the murderous attacks perpetrated by Hamas and other terrorist organisations against Israeli civilians" and the "unprecedented precautions taken by Israeli forces in order to avoid harming civilians". "This resolution provides encouragement for terrorist organisations worldwide and undermines global peace. Israel will continue to exercise its right to self-defence, and take action to protect the lives of its citizens," the statement added. If the report comes before the UN Security Council, the US is expected to veto any call for ICC action against Israel.

Canals are water roadways that connect us with the beautiful and legendary lakes Florida has to offer us. Some canals can go unmanaged leaving it difficult or nearly impossible to maneuver a boat through. It doesn't take long for the lush vegetation to become so thick for even the smallest boat. There is a way to clean out the excess growth leaving you with a clear and remarkable canal and waterside landscape.
Central Florida is known for it's long growing season, and unfortunately some of that growth is the form of aquatic weeds. Every year canals grow unwanted vegetation resulting in boats not being able to access to our local lakes. Professional Waterfront Cleanup will remove all the aquatic weeds and unwanted plant life from your canal allowing boats to navigate the waterways again. We not only clear canals but leave the entire shore area free from debris with a well manicured landscaped so you can be proud of your waterway. We also add stunning locally grown aquatic plant life that will turn any waterside into a pristine paradise.
The highly experienced team at Professional Waterfront Cleanup can remove vegetation and unwanted weeds and growth from even the most difficult areas. We pride ourselves with beautiful waterside getaways and safe, beautiful canals. If your canal has taken a life of it's own we can tame it into the clean and beautiful waterway it was meant to be!

Michel Gilquin (translated by Michael Smithies)
Silkworm Books, Chiang Mai
ISBN : 974-9575-85-7
Thailand is usually closely associated with Buddhism, but since 1998 the country has been one of the observer members of the Islamic Conference Organization, and senior figures in the present and previous governments have been Muslim. Some 8 percent of the population is Muslim, and in the three southernmost provinces of the country they constitute a majority. Islam is ever more visible in Bangkok, where the demographic increase of Muslims is marked.
Michel Gilquin, a sociologist specializing in the study of Muslim societies and a resident of Morocco, examines the origins of Islam in the kingdom of Siam, Muslim integration into the Thai nation, and the effects of globalization and modemity on a mostly traditional and rural community. In particular he considers the weight of history of the old sultanate of Patani on the present-day Yawi-speaking majority in Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani, and the circumstances leading to "the troubles" which erupted in 2004 and which, alas, continue.
Without proposing any solutions, the book explains the background to the present impasse, and considers how far intégration of the minority has been, and can be, successful.

Jets: Week 5 Recap
Fisher DiSimone, Staff Writer
Going into Week 5 of the NFL Jets fans were pretty optimistic about this team coming off a win from a team that made the playoffs two consecutive years in a row. With that being said, you would expect the Jets to beat a Falcons team without their top two WRs, and arguably the worst defense in the league. Spoiler alert: they did not meet expectations. This week the Jets had one of the two matchups in London against the Atlanta Falcons which as said before, haven't been the best of teams the past few seasons. The Jets' struggles started early, already down 10-0 in the first quarter, continuing their streak of not scoring any first quarter points throughout the entire season (so far). To be fair, our team is still young and it's hard for them to get into a rhythm early, so I still had hope going into the next three quarters. Yet the game went to the half and we were losing by an astonishing 20-3. Going into the second half I was pretty upset at how the game was going, but during the second half we started to pick up speed. We scored two unanswered touchdowns one in the third quarter and the other in the fourth. This only left the Falcons with a three point lead heading into the final 6 minutes of the fourth quarter. We needed our defense to get a stop; we could not allow a touchdown or else the game was pretty much over. The Falcons were driving the ball down field with ease, and inevitably scored the touchdown to seal the game and take the win in London. The Jets tried to come back with one minute left, and only came up with a field goal, making the final score 27-20, Falcons.
This game was a roller coaster of emotions to say the least. The first half was pretty hard to watch, the third and beginning of the fourth brought Jets fans back to life, just for their hopes to get crushed at the end of the fourth. However, there is one part of the game that still gives me small bits of hope. Once our offense gets into rhythm, they look VERY good. What I mean is they drive the ball down the field with ease whenever they have a rhythm going. If we can implement this spark into every single offensive possession, I can see us winning or at least making these football games competitive. Something that did not look as good was our defense. Every week I have had high praise for this unit but not this week. This offense was beat up heavily with the loss of their two best WRs, Calvin Ridley, and Russell Gage, yet they still had a flawless passing game. 0 INTs, 0 Sacks for our defense, which is pretty disappointing after coming off of a 7-sack game. To summarize it all, it was a pretty dispiriting week. Next week is our bye week, so hopefully they capitalize off their long rest and fix the many mistakes they have made throughout this five-week stretch.

There is an exciting resurgence of conscious, organic music in Jamaica, and industry experts and observers agree that Protoje, born Oje Ken Ollivierre, is a forefront figurehead in what has become known as "The Reggae Revival."
Leading the militant band – The Indiggnation – this Grammy-nominated songwriter and philosophical thinker articulates the righteous anger of an emerging generation. Protoje reports for duty, re-establishing the standard for the decaying art of socially responsible, mentally stimulating lyricism.
Protoje has successfully released four studio albums: his debut album THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH (2011); THE 8 YEAR AFFAIR (2013) which spawned the hits "Rasta Love" ft Ky-Mani Marley, and "Kingston Be Wise," which featured on the soundtrack for the video game Grand Theft Auto; ANCIENT FUTURE (2015) which featured the international hit "Who Knows" ft Chronixx which topped charts worldwide and has amassed over 70 million+ views on YouTube; and the Grammy-nominated A MATTER OF TIME (2018), aptly named by the artist who is acutely aware of the passage of time.
The latest, 10-track LP, produced by Winta James, marks the second consecutive album collaboration between the two following the genre-bending Ancient Future, which first signaled the advent of a fresh reinvention within the reggae space. On this latest project, the duo continues to channel a wide array of styles and sounds, from traditional Jamaican sounds to hip-hop, jazz, and rock, into a cohesive and original whole. A Matter Of Time ventures into new territory as much as it reaches back to it's roots, maintaining the essence of Jamaican music whilst pushing the envelope in multiple new directions.
A Matter Of Time includes noteworthy singles like "Blood Money" (hailed by Jamaican Radio Personality and Pan African Activist Mutaburuka as the number one reggae song of 2017), "Truths & Rights" featuring rising crooner Mortimer, the fast favourite "Bout Noon," and the bouncy "No Guarantee" featuring "Who Knows" collaborator Chronixx.
Protoje's visibility has steadily increased. Named on BBC 1xtra's Hot for 2015 Artiste list, he has since appeared on the UK's biggest music television show – BBC's Later With Jools Holland, recorded two sessions at BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale, and has been playlisted at BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.
Protoje has sold out headline UK, US, and European tours, and is a firm favourite at festival's throughout the world, performing at the likes of Glastonbury, Coachella, Reading & Leeds, Boomtown, Summer Jam, Afro-Punk, and Canada's Pemberton Music Festival.
