We know a lot of our transfer applicants are anxiously awaiting decisions and many have the same questions! We hear you and hope this FAQ will help as you wait to hear from us. When will I find out my decision? What does a spring grade request mean? When would I find out which classes will transfer? Financial Aid? Spring Admission? Keep reading to get the answers!
I had been a fan of USC football and frequent visitor of the campus for almost six years when I received a letter telling me I had been denied admission. USC was, by every metric, my dream school, top of my list. When friends or family asked where I wanted to go to college, USC was the default answer. For a while, after receiving my deny letter, I refused to entertain the notion of having anything to do with USC. I had invested so much of myself into USC that it hurt me on a deep level to be denied.
Tens of thousands of packets and letters are beginning to make their way through the U.S. postal system. We began reading on October 29th and just finished our last committee discussions less than twenty four hours ago. Believe me, we have needed and used every single minute over the last several months to select this class. More than 30,000 staff hours (the equivalent of fifteen years of full-time work for one person) have been spent reading, evaluating and discussing candidates.
It's the time of year that admission officers across the country are finishing reading applications and making sure everything is set in time to mail their notifications. At the other end, applicants are anxiously waiting by the mailbox or busily refreshing their email inboxes anticipating their decisions: Admit, Waitlist, or Deny. At USC things work a little differently. First of all, all decisions will be sent by postal mail. Secondly, we do not have a waitlist. That's right, instead of wait listing students, we have opted to guarantee students a spot in the freshman class, but starting a semester later, in January 2016. We call it Spring Admission; admission to the spring term instead of the fall. Many times students admitted to the spring are surprised, maybe even a bit disappointed, and have a lot of questions about what it means. The most important thing is to remember it means that we want these students to come to USC, which is why we admitted them! One of our student bloggers, Madisen Keavy, was a spring admit for January 2014 and wanted to answer five questions she had when she was admitted to the spring semester.
Our freshman application deadlines have passed which means we are in the thick of file review. The chatty nature of recruitment and catching up with colleagues is replaced by quiet concentration in cubicles as we review thousands of applications. I love file review and getting to read the stories of my applicants but also know that now thousands of applicants are now twiddling their thumbs waiting for a decision. A lot goes in to the review of an application and we take this responsibility quite seriously but I promise you April 1 seems just as far away to us as it does to you.
College admission has now been my career for nearly eight years, but prior to jumping onto this side of the desk, I spent two years as a high school counselor in my home state of Louisiana. I was never formally the school's "college counselor," so I was spared from having to write hundreds upon hundreds of letters of recommendation. But during those two years, due to my role as moderator of the Student Council, I was able to get to know a number of seniors who were going through the admission process. As we prepare to mail out decisions regarding our scholarship decisions, which I am sure will leave a great number of students dissatisfied, confused, and questioning our judgment, a particular meeting with one of my favorite Student Council members is fresh on my mind.
What is the Point of an Application, Anyway?
What is the point of a college application? If you've started working on your applications this may be a question you've asked yourself either out of reflection or perhaps frustration. We ask you for an application because we want to get to know you and get a sense of how you may thrive academically and personally at USC. We don't have time to sit down and talk to every applicant one on one so we ask you to give us a variety of information to try and gain a sense of who you are. As you complete your applications, ask yourselves if the content reflects who you are, not just as a student but also as a person.
I'm going to pop your bubble. Ready? There is no such thing as your perfect school. I know this goes against what you may have been hearing since you started learning about college. I know you probably don't believe me, especially if you have a dream school. You've been told that when you find the right school you'll get a feeling and you'll just know, but I'm here to tell you that there is more than one college for you, where you'll get a great education and have a memorable experience. Same thing goes for your first apartment, job or move to a new city. I think we do ourselves a disservice in searching for just one, solitary option and ruling out the rest instead of focusing on our attitude and readiness to embrace something new.
Hello everyone! My name is Kaijona (I go by KJ) and I'm really excited to be joining USC's Admission Blog Team. I was born in Washington (not D.C.) in Tacoma which is about 25 minutes away from Seattle. I came to USC as a Business Administration major and have since added a minor in Global Communication where I take classes in both the Annenberg School of Communication & Journalism and the Dornsife College. My ultimate career goal is to found and be the CEO of a multinational entertainment corporation, focusing on talent acquisition and music production.
At the beginning of my senior year I was very aware of the looming college process. The majority of people at my high school went on to college so "where are you applying?" was a common question. At this point, I had already met with a couple college counselors, been on a trip to the south and east coast to visit schools and taken the SAT. You would think that that would have made me feel prepared, or like I understood what the application process and overall purpose of college was, but that was far from the truth.

Dak Prescott suffers nasty looking ankle injury
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a serious-looking ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Giants.
Prescott's ankle turned awkwardly as he was tackled on a scrambling play in the third quarter. He immediately grabbed at the injury, and he had to be carted off the field. He was unable to put any weight on the ankle as he was guided onto the cart.

Multiple Cowboys players were emotional as Prescott was treated, sensing the seriousness of the injury. Prescott also appeared to be emotional as he was taken off the field.
Former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett, who is the offensive coordinator for the Giants, stood with Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy as Prescott was being tended to.

Beyond the Wizard's Wand
A look at the growing field of fantasy books for children
by Sally Lodge |
It's unanimous: children's fantasy literature is a booming business. Unanimous, certainly, among the editors PW spoke with who have strong track records in acquiring and editing books in this genre. They also concurred that one exceedingly popular young wizard from Hogwarts School has transformed the children's book business in several ways: more authors (especially in Britain) are taking a stab at writing fantasy tales, more houses are taking a chance at publishing books in this genre and more kids and their parents are taking these tomes home from bookstores.
"It is difficult today to find a publishing house without a fantasy title on its list," says Sharyn November, senior editor of Puffin Books and Viking Children's Books, who is also at the editorial helm of the Firebird imprint (which specializes in fantasy and science fiction). "I now see more and more publishers buying trilogies from American authors as well as from the U.K. and Australia," she adds. "It's obvious that Harry Potter and the recent renewed focus on Lord of the Rings have done a lot to widen the awareness of fantasy in general, as well as of trilogies and series."
Mallory Loehr, v-p and editor-in-chief of the Random House/Golden Books for Young Readers Group, credits Harry Potter for giving the fantasy genre both a boost and a revival. "Some wonderful new fantasy has been published as a result of these books and some old fantasy has been rediscovered," she observes. "I think Rowling's series has brought on a golden age of fantasy for middle grade and young adult readers. It seems that many booksellers have used the Harry Potter phenomenon to bring fantasy titles to the front of their stores and make fantasy less ghettoized. This is a return to the past in certain respects, given that a number of children's classics—like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz—were technically fantasies. The works of Tolkien, Lloyd Alexander and Susan Cooper have for many years been an important part of children's literature, yet fantasy seemed to get lost in the hubbub of paperback series publishing in the 1980s, so it's nice to have it in the forefront again."
Though clearly aware of the magic Rowling works in her fiction, Arthur Levine, v-p and editorial director of Scholastic's Arthur A. Levine Books, publisher of the Harry Potter novels in this country, demurs on the question of the strength of Harry's spell. "Of course it's tempting to say that Harry Potter raised the awareness of children's fantasy to a new level and I think that is true," he remarks. "I do believe that publishers were encouraged to try publishing fantasy who had not done so before. And I do think that more British authors are trying their hands at writing fantasy. I think this is attributable to Harry Potter, but also to Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy and Brian Jacques's Redwall series and other successful fantasies of recent years. Fantasy is a well-established genre in children's literature and always has been. It's not exactly a trend of the moment. A lot of fantasy has recently become available, but what I believe is happening now is that publishers are bringing out great novels that happen to be fantasy. Editors are looking for books that they are passionate about, books that are good literature. This is why they publish fantasy novels. It is not because the fantasy genre is 'hot.' "
Loehr mentions a move toward more realistic fantasy. "Since there is so much fantasy out there, what I look for is fantasy that feels very real," she says. "Perhaps because more authors who have written contemporary novels are now writing fantasies, I am seeing more fantasy in which the characters are real—they have realistic emotional reactions and motivations that make sense and that kids can relate to. What I try to avoid are the novels that in the first chapter introduce 12 different made-up animals with strange names. What I look for are writers who create more subtle, wonderful worlds that a reader can slip into easily."
November's taste also leans toward the realistic; she appreciates "fantasy set in the real world, with a sense of possibility, where you don't have to go anywhere exotic to have it happen."
Though November observes that some publishers have recently gravitated toward fantasy written for a younger audience than the Harry Potter series (citing as an example the successful launch of The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi, S&S), her own acquisitions are generally aimed at an older, more sophisticated audience. To help ensure that her acquisitions are appropriately targeted, she has assembled two editorial advisory boards: one made up of authors, booksellers and reviewers well acquainted with the fantasy genre and the other consisting of 100 teenage fantasy fans from around the world with whom she communicates daily on-line and occasionally in person. Demographics are working in favor of fantasies, November asserts. "Many of the baby boomers' kids are now in their teen years, boosting the number of readers in this age group," she says. "And I know from my constant contact with teenagers that fantasy is a genre that they really enjoy. In these novels, discoveries happen and possibilities open up. This is very pertinent to teens, since they are coming into their own worlds. And fantasy allows authors to write about the conflict between good and evil without sounding didactic."
All editors queried remark upon the growing crossover appeal of fantasy novels, noting that this genre easily bridges the YA and adult markets. And in some—obviously rarer—cases, the middle-grade and adult markets. "The Harry Potter books are young in some ways, but they clearly crossed over and attracted many adult readers, as did Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl books," states Loehr, who noted that when deliberating about acquiring a book in this genre she often weighs its crossover potential. In hopes of tapping into the adult market, Random House will in August 2004 release four backlist fantasies by Tamora Pierce in trade paperback with more sophisticated cover art (previously, the author's novels have been released first in hardcover and then in mass market and have been shelved primarily in children's sections). Arthur Levine says that what is most important to him when acquiring a title is genuine excitement for the book; after that comes, in his words, "the question—and then the challenge—of reaching the greatest number of readers of all ages for the author. Fantasy is one of the most flexible genres. It is one of the few genres in which the same book can be read by an adult and a 12-year-old—comfortably and without any explanation."
And will the fantasy fanfare continue? All answers are a bit equivocal, given the chronic onshore and offshore movement of publishing waves. But fantasy fans, by all reports, are passionate—and loyal. Says November, "The middle-grade years are a fertile time for fantasy. When you lock a reader into the genre at the age of 12 or 13, you have a fantasy reader for life. And that's a very good thing." Which begs the question: can readers of all ages hope that Harry Potter will still be wielding his wand at the age of 40?
A Look at the Books
The hefty number of forthcoming children's fantasy releases bears testament to the healthy state of the genre. Scholastic sends news of a dozen titles due out between late spring of this year and spring of next year. Garth Nix's seven-part Keys to the Kingdom series kicks off in July with Mister Monday, which introduces a boy who must unravel the secret of the unusual key that has come into his possession. His quest continues in Grim Tuesday, due out in January 2004. The Capture, a June title, is the first of six novels that make up Guardians of Ga'Hoole by Kathy Lasky, a series centering on a barn owl that must defeat the great evil that threatens to destroy the owl kingdom. The series flies on with The Journey, a September release. That same month, Orchard will issue Charlie Bone and the Time Twister, book two in Jenny Nimmo's five-part Midnight for Charlie Bone series. The next installment of this saga about a boy who inherits the mysterious magical powers of the Red King is Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy, due in spring 2004.
September will also bring Scholastic's Gregor the Overlander, the first of five books by Suzanne Collins featuring a boy who finds himself in the dark Underland, where humans coexist with giant spiders, rats and bats until their fragile peace is destroyed. A family of werewolves face prejudice and persecution in Patrick Jennings's The Wolving Time, an October title. Fall releases from the publisher's Chicken House imprint include Quadehar the Sorcerer by Erik L'homme, the debut title in the Book of the Stars Trilogy, set in a land ruled by magic and knights; and Cornelia Funke's Inkheart, which tells of a book restorer forced to reveal his secret: when he reads a book aloud, the characters come to life. Cold Tom by Sally Prue, whose title character is part elfin and part demon, rolls off press this month. And scheduled for publication next March by Arthur A. Levine Books is The Singer of All Songs by Kate Constable, launching Chanters of Tremaris, a trilogy imported from Australia. Singer introduces the sisters of Antaris, who live behind a high ice wall and practice a form of magic worked through music.
HarperCollins will publish 10 fantasies for children in the upcoming months. Due in August is The Wolves in the Walls, a graphic novel by Neil Gaiman, the tale of a girl who battles wolves that emerge from the walls. September releases include a trio of books by Diana Wynne Jones: Aunt Maria, in which Mig's brother is turned into a wolf by their evil aunt; Power of Three, introducing three children who must use their psychic gifts to save the moor from a deadly curse; and Wild Robert, the story of a girl who awakens a mischievous witch from the 1630s. Terry Pratchett's trilogy about the adventures of diminutive "nomes" will be released in October in a single volume, The Bromeliad Trilogy: Truckers, Diggers, and Wings. Due that same month is Nirvana's Children by Ranulfo, a debut YA novel presenting a story of self-discovery on the streets and on the edge of sanity. Also scheduled for October release is Erin Hunter's Forest of Secrets, the third installment in the Warriors series featuring fierce warrior cats; and Rowan and the Ice Creepers, Emily Rodda's finale to her series starring this young hero. Moving cities are at the center of Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve, due in November. And in March The Oracle Betrayed by Catherine Fisher launches a trilogy of intrigue, sacrifice and redemption.
Hyperion's forthcoming fantasy offerings include a novel by an author familiar to young fans of the genre. Eoin Colfer, creator of the Artemis Fowl books, has penned The Wish List, an October release in which the demonic and the divine race to win a girl's soul. Due that same month from Hyperion/Miramax Books is The Amulet of Samarkand, the first book in Jonathan Stroud's the Bartimaeus Trilogy, about a young magician and the djinni he summons. Publishers in more than 20 countries will release their editions of this novel simultaneously. Miramax has optioned movie rights to the trilogy, whose launch Hyperion will support with a seven-city author tour. And scheduled for publication in fall 2004 is The Ratastrophe Catastrophe, the first installment of the three-part The Illmoor Chronicles by David Lee Stone, a 25-year-old British writer who began creating the fantasy world portrayed in the series at the age of 10.
A book by another author whose creativity emerged at a young age is among the fantasies due from the various imprints of Random House Children's Books. Slated for August release by Knopf is Eragon, the debut novel in The Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini. A Montana native home-schooled by his parents, he began writing the novel when he graduated from high school at the age of 15 and self-published an edition of the book in February 2002. New fantasies from Random House Books for Young Readers include a May title, Jeanne DuPrau's The City of Ember, a first novel introducing two young protagonists who live in a perpetually dark city that is the last refuge for the human race; and Trickster's Choice, due in September, which is the first of two novels by Tamora Pierce centering on Alianne, the daughter of Alanna from the author's Song of the Lioness quartet.
Among next year's fantasy releases for RHCB are The Various by Steve Augarde, a January release from David Fickling Books that recounts a girl's adventures with a band of fairies; and Colman by the late Monica Furlong, the final installment of the trilogy that began with Wise Child and Juniper. Hardcover reissues of these earlier novels will be published to coincide with Colman's February release and all three books will feature new cover art by Leo and Diane Dillon.
Another Random House imprint, Del Rey, recently launched its Image program, established to reissue and repackage classic science fiction and fantasy novels from the Del Rey backlist. The line's inaugural releases are the three volumes in Terry Brooks's The Sword of Shannara trilogy. These will be followed in August by Have Space Suit—Will Travel, Robert A. Heinlein's tale of a young man who wins a space suit in a contest. Due in November is another Heinlein novel, Tunnel in the Sky, which reveals the plight of high school students stranded on a faraway planet. Rounding out this year's Image offerings is Alan Dean Foster's Orphan Star, an early entry in the author's Pip & Flinx series about a boy and his miniature dragon. Among the six titles Image will release in 2004 are novels by Anne McCaffrey, Christopher Stasheff and David Eddings.
The imprints that fall under the umbrella of Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers have a variety of fantasy ventures underway. S&S in February released Kenneth Oppel's Firewing, a companion novel to Silverwing and Sunwing, chronicling the adventures of Shade's son, Griffin, in the Underworld. Appearing in May under this same imprint were The Field Guide and The Seeing Stone, the first two installments of The Spiderwick Chronicles, a five-part serial created by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi that focuses on three siblings who move into an old house inhabited by mischievous faeries, goblins and other creatures. The story continues in October with Lucinda's Secret and wraps up with installments due out next April and July. This month S&S is issuing Among the Betrayed, the latest book in The Shadow Children series by Margaret Peterson Haddix, to be followed by Among the Brave in 2004. Launching S&S's The Book of Sorahb by Hilari Hell in October is Flame, a tale of danger, honor and magic in which an enemy approaches the homeland of three young protagonists. In May Atheneum published Ann Downer's Hatching Magic, the tale of a girl in contemporary Massachusetts who encounters some lost travelers from 13th-century England.
Recent and upcoming Aladdin paperback fantasy releases include additions to two series: The Pendragon Quartet by D.J. MacHale gains The Lost City of Faar (January), The Never War (May) and The Reality Bug (September); and Kathleen Dewey's The Unicorn Secret welcomes True Heart (April), Castle Avamir (August) and The Journey Home (December). October will bring Aladdin's A Wizard Named Nell, the inaugural volume in The Keepers series by Jackie French Koller, set in a magical world where witches and wizards live alongside humans. This will be followed by The Wizard's Apprentice in December and a third installment in February 2004. And Aladdin will publish digest-size reissues of Anne McCaffrey's The Harper Hall Trilogy (Dragonsong, Dragonsinger and Dragondrums) in June, when Simon Pulse will release rack-size editions of these titles.
Penguin Young Readers Group also offers a spectrum of fantasy tales from its various imprints. Dutton this month publishes The Claidi Collection, which compiles the three first books in Tanith Lee's Claidi series (Wolf Tower, Wolf Star and Wolf Queen). This imprint in November will issue The Boy Who Spoke Dog by Clay Morgan, the tale of a boy who washes up on a mysterious island and discovers he can communicate with the wild dogs there. Due in September from Viking is A Stir of Bones by Nina Kiriki Hoffman, which tells of a group of youngsters who sneak into an abandoned house and find that the dwelling is a living, supernatural thing. This same month, Philomel will publish Brian Jacques's Loamhedge, in which Redwall warriors search for an ancient abbey. Also scheduled for September publication is the Firebird imprint's first hardcover, Firebirds, an anthology of fantasy and science fiction writing by such authors as Lloyd Alexander, Nancy Farmer, Garth Nix and Nancy Springer. Firebird in the fall will release new paperback editions of Pamela Dean's The Secret Country Trilogy, out of print for more than a decade: The Secret Country, The Hidden Land and The Whim of the Dragon. And debuting from Dial in December is Lionboy by Zizou Corder, the first novel in a trilogy centering on a boy who acquired the ability to speak Cat when he was scratched by a leopard as a baby.
From Farrar, Straus & Giroux comes an October fantasy release, Dia Calhoun's White Midnight. A companion to Firegold, which tells of a teenager who is given the chance to free her family from servitude—but at a price. The publisher also reissued paperback editions of Calhoun's Firegold and Aria of the Sea this spring.
Woe and worry continues to plague the hapless young hero of Philip Ardagh's Eddie Dickens Trilogy, which comes to an end with Terrible Times, which Holt will publish in September. (This same month, Scholastic will issue the first of its paperback reprints of the series' installments, A House Called Awful End.) Ardagh's fans can look forward to more tongue-in-cheek misery with Holt's launch of the author's latest series, Unlikely Exploits, in spring 2004. In the inaugural volume, The Fall of Fergal, set in a country that is suffering from an outbreak of very large holes, the title character plummets to his death on the very first page.
One of the debut titles from Tor's new Tor Teen line of fiction is First Meetings in the Enderverse by Orson Scott Card, an August hardcover that collects four novellas in the author's Ender's Saga. A September addition to the imprint is New Skies, an anthology of science fiction by such authors as Jack Vance, Philip K. Dick and Neil Gaiman, edited by Patrick Nielson Hayden. A companion volume, New Magics, will follow in January 2004. Upcoming Tor Teen paperback reprints in the fantasy genre include Emma Bull's Finder, three volumes in Jane Yolen's Book of Lights series (Sister Light, Sister Dark;White Jenna; and The One-Armed Queen), Briar Rose by Yolen, Wildside by Steven Gould; and Ben Bova's City of Darkness.
Among the fantasy releases from Tor's Starscape imprint are three paperback novels by Robert Jordan, due in January: The Hunt Begins and New Thread in the Pattern, parts one and two of The Great Hunt Breakup; and a prequel to Wheel of Time. December will bring a trade paperback edition of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, with new illustrations by Charles Vess. And new or forthcoming Starscape reprints include Red Unicorn by Tanith Lee, In the Land of the Lawn Weenies and Other Misadventures by David Lubar, The Eye of the Heron by Ursula K. Le Guin, Timothy Zahn's Dragon and Thief: A Dragonback Adventure and Beyond the Hanging Wall by Sara Douglass.
Client Distribution Services will in July release Song of the Universe, the first volume in a six-part series from Red Sky Entertainment, Avalon—Quest for Magic by Rachel Roberts. CDS this same month will reissue the six books in Roberts's earlier series, Avalon—Web of Magic, originally published by Scholastic.
And Wizards of the Coast this month launches its Young Adult Readers Program with a pair of books, Rumor of Dragons and Night of the Dragons by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. These two tales together comprised the first installment of the trilogy, The Dragonlance Chronicles, when it was published almost 20 years ago. Four additional volumes in the series will follow. And next year this publisher will release the debut title in a series of novels based on the fantasy world inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons game.

A Johannesburg man died at a KwaZulu-Natal south coast beach on Friday while trying to save his daughter who was caught in a rip current.
The National Sea Rescue Institute's (NSRI's) duty controller in Port Edward, Alan Stilwell, said the daughter encountered difficulties while swimming at Peter Pan beach near Port Edward on the KZN south coast.
A NSRI team, together with lifeguards from a neighbouring beach, police search and rescue members and paramedics arrived at the beach after being alerted.
"It appears that a young female was caught in rip currents while swimming. Her father went into the surf to assist, followed by her mother who also entered the surf to assist," said Stilwell.
The three family members got caught in strong rip currents.
"The mother and the daughter were swept on to rocks, where a surfer helped them."
They managed to reach safe ground and were not injured.
But the 40-year-old man, who was recovered by lifeguards from the surf, was not so lucky. Stilwell said despite efforts by paramedics to resuscitate him, the man was declared dead on the scene.
"Police have opened an inquest docket," said Stilwell.


Are you poor in Spirit? Most of us when we think of rich and poor, we think about the material world. But the material world and spiritual world are totally different. Many of us today in the material world are fine. Most of us have a roof over our heads, some food on the table, and a few dollars in our pockets. However as most of us have discovered, material wealth does not provide happiness or peace.
There are a lot of rich people, even many "celebrities" who end up trying to fill the void in their lives that material possessions cant. Many it even leads to suicide, so if money does buy happiness, why are there so many depressed celebrities?
So what does "Poor in Spirit" mean? Most of us have experienced or are experiencing trials and tribulations. Jesus said we should expect this (John 16:33). Maybe your struggling with an addiction, a disease, an illness, or maybe the struggle is with your family or loved ones. God knows your pain and hears your prayers and cries.

Sure thing, doing it every single day. We can't predict when the Rapture will come, so we must pray and wait. God bless you brother.
Amen Lord Jesus come soon!
Amen! Thank you! Looking forward to Jesus' soon return.


Dunlavy - "King Of All He Surveys" / Dunlavy - "The Alison Effect"
As I promised last time, I do have a few more words to say about the (no-longer-quite-so-) solo project out of Houston, TX called Dunlavy (or The DunLavy as it sometimes appears). Founded and fronted by ex-The Mike Gunn bassist Scott Grimm, the project involves a full orchestra of instrumentation with guitars (both acoustic and electric), bass, synthesizers and other electronic devices, and various forms of percussion.
This review will cover both of the newest releases, the fourth Dunlavy release on the 'home' label in Houston (Fleece Records) and also the fifth just out from Tony Dale's outfit in Australia (Camera Obscura). Both CDs are of typical LP length (40-45 min. ea.), but hardly are limited in musical statements, whether eleven tracks are offered (as on 'King') or just five (as on 'Alison').
'King of All He Surveys' contains exactly no liner notes whatsoever, so I am left to believe that this creation was by the hand of Mr. Grimm (and his omnipresent puppy friend 'Dun') alone. The dreamy 'Unstable' immediately puts forward one of Grimm's most notable signatures, a multi-layered acoustic guitar approach that has an intertwining character that makes your own thoughts and emotions get lost somewhere in the mix. 'Captain Space' is a seven-minute creation that is presented in three different segments that are effectively sprinkled throughout the album to give the listener a familiar sense of one common motif. All three are colored with a muffled voiceover in triplicate and a number of other cosmic effects amongst the acoustic guitar backdrop, until in Part Three it finally ends with what seems to be a spaceship landing. The middle part of the album is mostly an amalgam of shorter musical statements (some instrumental, others with voiceovers) that alternately swap acoustic and electric sounds as well as pace, "Big Finish" being one of the more notable compositions. The lengthier pieces "Scott Dewey" and "Everything" were saved for later on. The former relies on a heavier, stoner-style guitar riff to power its march forward into another realm, and also includes a chant-style singing voice here and there. A fine slab of cosmic rock, though brought down a level by employing (as throughout this particular album) drum robots. "Everything" suffers a little less in this way by being more laid-back most of the time, letting the very real guitars and keyboards take center stage, at least up until the full-"band" rock-out that is inserted into the middle of the final offering.
Dunlavy, with these two most recent efforts, seems in one sense to be a tad less forward-thinking than what I had heard in 'John Merkel is a Miracle' (reviewed in last issue). But then I think great musical ideas are still being developed here very nicely and I think Grimm's new partner has added in a number of new dimensions (and an all-important, to me at least, human-drum-machine). So if you were a Dunlavy virgin but intrigued by what you read here, I might be inclined to suggest a double-fisted reach to acquire both 'John Merkel' and 'The Alison Effect' and then proceed from there. I doubt, though, that Grimm has been involved in much of anything that didn't exhibit a great deal of merit. The Mike Gunn family tree (including also Charalambides and Linus Pauling Quartet) is a psychedelic family that should not be overlooked by any means.

CD Review: New Independent EPs Bring Out Fresh Eye-Opening New Music
New from England comes the second EP from British alternative rockers Charming Liars. The five-song EP entitled "We Won't Give Up," arrived May 20 as the band took up residence in Los Angeles during the recording of this album. The songs reflect their time on the west coast with a more polished alternative pop/rock sound as in the lead single "The Desperation." Their sound get a little more reckless on the energetic rock of "Wasted," before the album closes with aggressive appeal of "Fingers Crossed." To find out more about Charming Liars and their new release "We Won't Give Up," please visit charmingliars.com.
From the east coast comes the debut, self-titled album from the Massachuettes band Red Velvet Ribbon. Their 4-song EP walks the fine line between hard rock and alternative as the grunge-like solo of "Your Time," flashes back to a decade of newly discovered music coming from the Seattle music scene. They put a little swing into their step with the jazzy-feel of "Stood Up," before closing with the six-minute, mellow groove of "Miss You." To find out more about this new underground rock band, please visit redvelvetribbon.com.
Chicago's Vintage Blue returns with "No Going Back," the follow-up to their 2012 debut album. The new six-song EP was released on April 29th and features a maturity to their sound, beginning with the adult rock appeal of "Let Go." Their sound really shines on the uplifting sound of "No Going Back" as the band achieve a new artistic height with this song. They lock into a pop/rock groove with "Carolina," before rocking to close the album with "The Enemy." To find out more about Vintage Blue and their new album "No Going Back," please visit vintagebluemusic.com.

Actress Heather Menzies-Urich, who starred in 'The Sound of Music,' has died. Menzies-Urich played one of the Von Trapp children in the 1965 film alongside Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Her son told 'Variety' that she passed away on Christmas Eve in Canada after a battle with brain cancer. Menzies-Urich played Louisa Von Trapp, the third-oldest of the seven children in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. InsideEdition.com's Leigh Scheps (http://twitter.com/LeighTVReporter) has more.


Jake Gyllenhaal and Courtney Love also auditioned for the musical before Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor landed the roles.
"Moulin Rouge At 10: A Spectacular Spectacular MTV News Event" on Monday (May 2) brought out the best of the best via a live-stream chat with director Baz Luhrmann, actor John Leguizamo and Catherine Martin, who won the Oscar for costume design and art direction, not to mention a Skype interview with star Ewan McGregor.
And although we can't imagine a "Moulin Rouge" without stars Nicole Kidman and McGregor, one of the interesting tidbits that came out of the discussion was the fact that there were several high-profile actors in contention for those roles, including Heath Ledger, Courtney Love and Jake Gyllenhaal.
"I saw everyone," Luhrmann said of his lengthy audition process. "I have audition material of people you wouldn't believe. I know who can really sing, people who've got amazing voices, from that process.
"Dear Heath Ledger, [he had] incredible scenes with Nicole," Luhrmann revealed. "Because at one stage, Christian [the role that went to McGregor] was very young, he was a younger guy, and then I was aware of Ewan but I didn't know if he could sing."
Another familiar face up for the role of Christian was Jake Gyllenhaal.
"Jake should do a musical," Luhrmann said. "He's a wonderful actor, but [he has a] great voice, tremendous voice. He sang some [Stephen] Sondheim for me, complicated singing, great voice. When is he going to guest on 'Glee?' "
Luhrmann went on to talk about Courtney Love's involvement with the film, as a potential actress and as the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
"Courtney had two parts to the process," he revealed. "I worked with Courtney. She was fascinating, she was beguiling. Also, without Courtney's approval, we would never have [Nirvana's] 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' in 'Moulin Rouge,' and I had to go and show her the whole piece," he said. "She's absolutely fantastic. I adore her spirit. She's wild and unpredictable and a great performer."
Check out everything we've got on "Moulin Rouge."


It's time to conclude, already.
So, what does it take to reinvent yourself in order to win your next battle?
Some might argue, the will to break the rules, or to be a game changer.
Others might say it takes the skills of a visionary.
with traditional academic and professional approaches.
both as an actor and as an analyst.
needs to be broad in nature.
will lead you to miss out on the specific dimensions of the issue.
The effort is unlikely to be as fruitful as a result.
Note that this is by no means trivial.
and the private sectors usually require a specific set of skills.
other than your initial field of expertise.
And it may also require you a very solid understanding of people.
and that you should therefore avoid altogether.
those you do not understand as irrational or just plain stupid.
and the less leverage they will have relative to you in the future.
Last but not least, remember the rule-breakers.
rather than those who are fatalistic and pessimistic about their own leverage.
how useful it is to be always predictable.
being pessimistic about the future will rarely help.
as you look to anticipate and win your next battle.
This is really what you should consider going forward.
You need to be the game changer.
what you stand for in order to be as relevant as possible in tomorrow's context.
and act something we have discussed here several times.
Not everyone can be a visionary within a firm.
how significant the role of the visionary was.
Who's your chief visionary officer?
Not everyone can be the next Steve Jobs, of course.
But do make sure you know who your Steve Jobs is.
and guaranteeing your ability to anticipate and to reinvent.
especially now that you've followed this MOOC and thought about this thoroughly.
Thanks for staying until the end and until next time.

The 2018 OFC U-19 Championship was the 22nd edition of the OFC U-19/U-20 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the men's under-19/under-20 national teams of Oceania. The qualifying stage was held in the Cook Islands between 26 May – 1 June 2018, and the final tournament was held in Tahiti between 5–18 August 2018.

Before the tournament in 2016, the age limit was reduced by a year to 19 years of age. However, the last tournament remained the name U-20 Championship. For this tournament, the name has changed to U-19 Championship. So, players who wanted to participate in the tournament needed to be born on or after 1 January 1999. At an OFC Executive Committee meeting held at its Auckland headquarters in November 2013 the competition format was modified. The competition was brought forward a year and the age limit was lowered to 19 years of age. The changes were made in order to allow the winner of the competition plenty of time for preparation and player development for upcoming World Cups at Under 20 level.

In March 2015, FIFA decided that the OFC gets two slots at every FIFA U-20 and U-17 World Cup. So, the top two teams of the tournament qualified for the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland as the OFC representatives. New Zealand, the defending champions, won the title for the seventh time, and qualified together with runners-up Tahiti.

Format
The tournament structure was as follows:
Qualifying stage: The four teams from the "developing associations" (American Samoa, Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga) played in the qualifying stage. The winner of the round-robin tournament qualify for the final tournament.
Final tournament: A total of eight teams (Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Vanuatu, and the qualifying stage winner) played in the final tournament. For the group stage, they were divided into two groups of four teams. The top two teams of each group advance to the knockout stage (semi-finals and final) to decide the winner of the OFC U-19 Championship and the two teams that qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

The draw for the tournament was held on 2 February 2018 at the OFC Headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand. In both the qualifying stage and the final tournament, the hosts (Cook Islands and Tahiti) were assigned to position A1 in the draw, while the remaining teams were drawn into the other positions without any seeding.

Teams
All 11 FIFA-affiliated national teams from the OFC entered the tournament.

Note: All appearance statistics include those in the qualifying stage (since 2016).

Venues
The hosts of the qualifying stage and final tournament were announced by OFC on 31 October 2017.
The qualifying stage was played at the CIFA Academy Field in Rarotonga, Cook Islands.
The final tournament was played at the Stade Pater and Stade Fautaua in Pirae, Tahiti.

After two Group B matches were played at Stade Fautaua on 6 August, it was announced on 8 August that the remaining Group B matches would be moved to Stade Pater due to the floodlights being deemed less than optimal. However, it was announced on 10 August 2018 that after heavy rain caused the pitch of Stade Pater to deteriorate, the last two Group A and Group B matches on 11 and 12 August would be moved to Stade Fautaua with earlier kick-off times (12:00 and 15:00 instead of 15:00 and 18:00).

Squads

Players born on or after 1 January 1999 are eligible to compete in the tournament. Each team can name a maximum of 20 players.

Qualifying stage
The winner advance to the final tournament (group stage).

All times are local, CKT (UTC−10).

We all get a little anxious to start planting when the snow is gone and the sun is warm and bright. Even in cold northern zones there are some things you can plant before the last spring frost.
But wait just a minute! Don't even be walking in your gardens while the soil is still wet and squishy!. Saturated spring soil is great for the plants in the ground, but not for a gardener stomping around. And certainly not good for planting. Wait for the soil to dry out and become workable before you plant anything. If you squeeze a handful of garden soil and it sticks together in a clump it is too wet for planting. You will wind up with compacted soil, making it difficult for plant roots to take in air, water and nutrients. Soil that forms a crumbly clump is ready. But while you wait, you can fill your patio pots and containers with fresh potting soil and get started with the most frost tolerant plants.
So what can be planted after the soil thaws out before the last frost of spring? Lots of things actually, and certain seeds can even be sown as soon as the snow is melted (see Direct Sow Seeds for lists of what can be planted early). Since most of us are anxious to see colorful flowers, lets start with annuals for immediate blooms.
Cold hardy annuals can brighten up your deck and patio, front entry and window boxes, and your gardens and landscape early in the season before the last frost of spring. Cold tolerant annuals can survive and even thrive through repeated frosts, a couple annuals even tolerate freezing down to the mid 20's. These can be a little different than cool season annuals, which simply prefer cool weather and do not perform well when it gets warmer. All cool season annuals are not necessary frost hardy, so be careful with your selections.
If you really want to plant annuals while it is still likely to hard freeze overnight, you need to stick to containers that can easily be moved into a shed or the garage when a hard freeze threatens. Window boxes attached to the house and up off the ground usually stay a bit warmer since the coldest air settles to the ground, so they can usually be planted early, but a hard freeze may still damage or even kill your plants, so keep that in mind. You may also have a few little nooks and crannies around the house that are protected from wind and retain some warmth from the house, but keep in mind you may risk those plants too in a hard freeze. And note that air temperature is taken a few feet off the ground. The coldest air settles at ground level so it will be colder at the soil surface than the recorded or forecast temperatures. Cold air will also tend to flow to low spots, so planting on a slope provides some protection from the coldest temperatures.
Cold tolerant annuals that you have grown from seed indoors will need to be slowly acclimated to the cooler temperatures outdoors. Put the plants outdoors during the day for several days once it reaches 40 degrees or more. After several days you should be able to leave them out over night, but be sure to bring them inside if the temperature will drop below 40 degrees. After a few continuous days and nights outdoors go ahead and plant them in containers or garden beds after the freeze danger is passed.
When cold tolerant blooming annuals are purchased from a garden center, be sure they have been hardened off. If not, or if in doubt, slowly acclimate them to the cool outdoor temperatures as above.
Pansies and Violas (these are the same species including pansy, violet, viola and Johnny jump-up) are a cool season annual that are also cold tolerant. These are the first annuals that can be planted 4-6 weeks before the last frost date and will withstand several degrees below freezing. These are great annuals not just for spring, but also for autumn. Pansies and violas can also be planted in winter in warm regions.
Bachelor's Button are cold tolerant and so are the seedlings. You can direct sow bachelor's button seeds about 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost. Bachelor's button may likely even survive as well as pansies.
Calendula (pot marigold or English Marigold) are cold tolerant and can be planted before the last spring frost.
Coreopsis, annual are cold tolerant and can be planted 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost.
Dracaena (spike) are cold tolerant and can be planted before the last spring frost.
Dusty Miller are cold tolerant and can be planted before the last spring frost.
Forget Me Not are cold tolerant and so are the seedlings. You can direct sow forget me not seeds about 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost.
Gazania are somewhat similar to Gerbera Daisies but are frost tolerant. The flowers will close at night and heavily overcast days, but bloom repeatedly if deadheaded.
Godetia are cold tolerant and can be planted before the last spring frost.
Larkspur are a cool season annual, cold tolerant and so are the seedlings. You can direct sow larkspur seeds about 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost.
Marigold seeds are cold tolerant so you can direct sow marigold seeds about 1-2 weeks before the last spring frost. But the plant will take a while to grow and bloom.
Osteopermum (African Daisy) are cold tolerant and can be planted about 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost.
Poppy are cold tolerant and so are the seedlings. You can direct sow poppy seeds about 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost.
Snapdragon love cool climates and will tolerate light frosts. The seedlings are also cold tolerant. Snapdragon looks terrific in fall too. You can direct sow snapdragon seeds about 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost.
Sunflower seeds are cold tolerant so you can direct sow sunflower seeds about 1-2 weeks before the last spring frost. But the plant will take a while to grow and bloom.
Sweet Alyssum seeds are cold tolerant. You can direct sow alyssum seeds about 1-2 weeks before the last spring frost, but it will take a while for the plant to grow and bloom. Or buy plants and use them as a great filler with tall potted flowers or garden edging.
Sweet Peas are cold tolerant and so are the seedlings. You can direct sow sweet pea seeds about 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost.
Verbena are cold tolerant and bloom very well in cool weather. But they will also be blooming and healthy all summer right through fall frosts.
There are also a few warm season annuals that will hold up very well against a light frost, especially if planted up off the ground in containers and window boxes. Annual geraniums and petunias seem to be the most frost tolerant of the warm season annuals. I fill my front window boxes and entry pots with petunias, geraniums and dracaena spikes so the front of the house looks great from very early spring until very late fall. To test your favorite annuals, just see what happens to them after the first fall frost to decide if you can plant them early in the spring.
Perennials can sometimes be purchased at garden centers already in bloom, or ready to bloom. Or you may have seeded frost tolerant perennials indoors or potted some up to overwinter in the house. Those that are frost tolerant can be planted 2-3 weeks before before the last spring frost to give you some immediate color and interest in your gardens or containers. Be aware though, that they may need to be acclimated to the cold weather. They may have been in a greenhouse and then probably had some protection at the garden centers. Place them outdoors during the day when the temperature is at least 40 degrees for several days. Be sure to bring the inside if the temperature is expected to fall below 40 degress. After several days you should be able to leave them out over night. After a few continuous days and nights outdoors, go ahead and plant them.
Although a frost tolerant perennial plant will not be bothered by frost, the flowers are not always so tolerant, so just be aware of that risk. A quick light frost may have no affect, but a heavier frost that settles deeply for several hours overnight could damage the blooms. Temperatures of 25-28 degrees for several hours is considered a freeze or killing frost and the blooms will be damaged, and possibly the foliage will even have to be cut back. As noted above, if you plant in containers, window boxes, protected areas or on a slope where the cold air will flow down and away from the plants, you may escape frost and even freeze damage.
Lily bulbs are usually available in bloom at garden centers. The flowers will usually withstand a light frost.
Tulip bulbs are usually available in bloom at garden centers. The flowers can withstand down to 25 degrees if not for an extended period.
Daffodil bulbs are usually available in bloom at garden centers. The flowers can withstand down to 25 degrees if not for an extended period.
Coneflower blooms are likely to survive a frost.
Dianthus (pinks) blooms will survive frost.
Foxglove blooms are likely to survive a frost.
Hollyhock blooms are likely to survive a frost.
Larkspur blooms are likely to survive a frost.
Phlox blooms may survive a light frost.
Rudbeckia (Black eyed Susan) blooms will survive frost.
Salvia blooms are likely to survive a frost.
Shasta Daisy blooms are likely to survive a frost.
Verbena blooms are likely to survive a frost.
Roses, both potted and bare root, can be planted as soon as the soil is thawed and workable and the danger of killing frost is over. Plant roses without worrying about frost. Be sure to see the instructions for planting roses.
Dormant or bare root plants are often available VERY early in spring at some nurseries and local garden centers. You probably won't find any at the "big box" centers, but you can also order a very wide variety of dormant plants online. Bare root shrubs and trees in particular can save you a lot of money. The nursery can keep them compactly stored over winter without soil and they don't require any labor in spring to pot them up or keep them growing, saving them AND you some money. And don't be afraid to order even trees mail order or online, I have several trees that were packaged beautifully for shipment and became thriving healthy trees.
Dormant or bare root plants, perennials, roses, shrubs and trees, are dug up by the nursery in early winter and the soil is all removed from the roots. They pack the roots in damp material such as wood shavings and put them in cold storage until they are shipped in very early spring. When selecting dormant plants, avoid anything that has sprouted if possible. New growth will be susceptible to frost damage. But generally if you see any growth on bare root plants it is because you are shopping at the very end of the ideal bare root season and they need to get planted NOW. Also make sure that the root packing is moist but not soaked. Dried roots may be damaged and could have trouble getting growing. Wet roots could be rotting (make sure they are not moldy or black) or have induced pre-mature sprouting.
Dormant plants are shipped or sold only when your region is ready for planting. This would be as soon as the soil is thawed and workable. Remember, the plants or dormant - not awake yet, so you can plant them no matter what the temperature. But do plant them as quickly as possible, the roots dry out extremely quickly. If you are not able to plant immediately, follow the temporary storage directions that came with the plant. When you are able to plant them, soak the roots in a bucket of water to refresh them while you prepare your planting holes. And be sure to water the soil thoroughly after you plant. Watering again won't be necessary until the plant is growing and using the water. Wait to mulch and fertilize until the plant is growing too.
If you are planting a dormant bare root tree, be sure to see the special instructions for information about breaking dormancy and planting.
So you planted all kinds of blooming annuals and perennials and suddenly a hard frost or freeze is predicted. Now what? Never fear, you can protect them. As a matter of fact many of us take these steps frequently in spring "just in case", we wouldn't want to risk losing all those blooms after our planting work! And once you get set up for it, putting protection measures in place is quick and easy.
The first thing you will want to do to protect your plants from frost or freezing is water them. Much of the damage from freezing is really caused by dessication (drying out). Then you need to cover the plants. A cover will prevent the cold air from settling on and around the plants. A cover that reaches the ground all the way around the plant will also trap heat around your plant.
Small sprouts can be covered with a pail or bucket, or deli containers that you have been saving (you did save some didn't you?). If it is windy, press the container into the soil a bit so it stays put. Larger plants or large areas can be covered with a seed blanket (lightweight frost cloth available at garden centers) or a sheet or blanket. Set up some sort of framework if possible to drape the sheet over and prevent touching the plants. I just use my tomato cages. The sheets should also be anchored to the ground, it won't take much of a breeze to displace them or blow them right off. Anchor the sheets with landscape fabric pins or rocks. If you used several sheets to cover a large area, you might want to pin them together to prevent a breeze from catching. I use clothespins and clip them to the tomato cages. Be sure and remove the coverings as soon as it warms up a bit.
A frosty spring morning is a colorful sight in my neighborhood with all the old bedsheets draped over everything.!

Outcome Health executive settles SEC case
JOHN PLETZ
Ashik Desai, a former executive at the center of a scandal that crippled once-highflying Chicago startup who pleaded guilty last month to criminal wire fraud, also has reached an agreement in a related civil case brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Desai agreed to a judgment in a civil fraud case related to Outcome's capital raise of $487 million in 2017, which elevated its profile as a "unicorn," a venture-backed company worth $1 billion or more.
The SEC, along with the U.S. Attorney's Office, accuses Outcome co-founders Rishi Shah, Shradha Agarwal and former Chief Financial Officer Brad Purdy of having lied about the company's performance and falsified its financial results, which investors relied upon to make their investment decision. Shah, Agarwal and Purdy have pleaded not guilty to fraud charges and said they will fight the SEC case.
Desai, who faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud, also faces potential unspecified financial penalties related to the civil case "that will be determined a later date," according to a court filing.
Desai — who agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the criminal case against Shah, Agarwal and Purdy — also agrees to be interviewed by the SEC in its suit against his former colleagues.
"The SEC anticipates moving for remedies as to Defendant Desai after the SEC's claims against Desai's co-Defendants are resolved," the filing said.
The judgment in the SEC case was filed Tuesday, but Desai reached the agreement Jan. 16. It was first reported by the Law360 legal blog.

Andy Yen, one of the co-founders of ProtonMail and the one charged with leading the defence of the company, confirmed the ransom was paid yesterday - the payment has gone through to this Bitcoin address. The attacks have stopped for now and the start-up's site is online.
Yen told FORBES other firms running operations in the same datacenter were knocked down by the "extremely powerful" DDoS - something that made Yen nervous. The company's Internet Service Provider (ISP) also placed pressure on the company to pay to ease the pain. "Basically, we were forced to pay by our ISP and datacenter because the collateral damage was just too much for them," he said over Skype instant messenger. "But I don't blame them for it."
Companies are frequently being hit by DDoS attacks before being asked by the perpetrators to pay a ransom to make the pain stop.
He believes the first DDoS was the one carried out by the extortionists, though he doesn't believe the same group was behind the second attack, which started around 2pm CET yesterday and weighed in at a whopping 100Gbps. "The second attack was scary, most of the DDoS experts that have been communicating with us hadn't seen that before - it was a full-scale infrastructure attack," he added.
"The second attacker displayed a sophistication that quite frankly has never been seen in Switzerland before. They were able to take down an entire ISP just to get at us... you need to be very sophisticated to do that, typically you only find such capabilities from state sponsored actors." Neither the ISP nor the datacenter provider were named.
Swiss police are investigating, whilst ProtonMail seeks for a decent DDoS-protection vendor. FORBES understands Yen has been in touch with CloudFlare, Incapsula and a handful of other vendors. A solution has been chosen, but Yen wouldn't disclose which one. In the meantime, he's released a statement on what occurred and is launching a GoFundMe campaign to cover the cost of the DDoS protection.
It's bad timing for ProtonMail, which planned to launch to the wider public this month; it had previously been open to those who'd gone through the waiting list. Yen said it would set them back a few weeks as it seeks to ensure it isn't bowled over by a DDoS again.
DDoS extortion attacks are depressingly common. One group, going by the name DD4BC, has been a particularly nasty menace, launching attacks then threatening stronger hits unless a 40 Bitcoin ransom was paid within 24 hours. They promised, via email, to launch 400 Gbps waves of data at targets' servers, whilst boasting of attacks on payment processor Neteller (which, as I recently reported, is dealing with another cybersecurity issue).
Paying out to such web pirates should be a last resort. But sometimes, as ProtonMail has learned, it's the only option when many parties are suffering.

Every adoption is special, but a senior adoption is one of our greatest joys here at GSP Rescue. We are so appreciative of those folks who know what a pleasure it is to have a mellow senior in their home; those who see the awesome personality behind the gray hair. Wilbur recently showed what a patient way he has with children at the Del Mar Fair – and he caught the eye of Rhonda and Kerry. They were so impressed with how well he did with their grandchildren, they applied to adopt that night! A huge thanks to Wilbur's foster family for helping him lose weight and taking such good care of him. And another big "Thank You" to Kerry and Rhonda, Wilbur's new parents!


when I was a kid growing up in Sacramento, CA, my dad and I used to listen to this radio program called Hearts of Space on public radio after our traditional Saturday night homemade pizza dinner with my family. the program featured all kinds of specials like ambient soundscapes by Brian Eno (et al), cosmic meditations, ethereal drones, sacred chants from around the world, and other kinds of spiritual/mystical music. sometimes there was just a straight up downtempo set. I was way too young to understand genres but I remember it being enticing for me, and my dad loved it because of its tranquility but also that it has a certain type of "other plane" quality to it that even for me now is kind of hard to explain. my dad is a very meditative person who appreciates music that helps your brain move. I mean, I was probably playing with power rangers toys or my game boy while it was on, but it definitely planted some seeds in my tiny child sponge brain. little did either of us know that this tradition of sorts would lay a foundation for me to one day becoming an electronic music producer. weird how things work out right? HoS can still be found on the web here: hos.com and that makes me really happy!
