WaBi is a blockchain based loyalty token issued by Walimai, a company that provides a products traceability mechanism to consumers. Walimai started back in 2014 but only started commercializing its functioning application by 2016 in China.
Walimai's solution consists of an RFID (Radio-frequency identification) label that sticks to the product and can be scanned by consumers with a phone app to check a product's authenticity. The label contains information on the whole life cycle of the product such as authenticity, background, storage location and more. The labels used by Walimai (1) have a unique code for every single product (2) contain dynamic data frequently changed and synced with Walimai's servers to avoid cloning (3) are made of very fragile antennas to make moving the same label between several products impossible.
The purpose of Walimai's ICO and conversion to blockchain in general is unclear as there is no proven technical need to involve blockchain technology. The team claims adopting blockchain and a token based system to par a meta-fragility problem, referring to users losing trust in Walimai's process of securing all interactions an RFID can have along its supply chain.
The WaBi token's purpose is to incentivize consumers to scan products. A dynamic that the Walimai team claims is crucial to its counterfeit detection system, even though there are several issues arising from this subject, one being what Walimai refers to as the 'voting paradox'. The 'voting paradox' claims that with a sufficient level of trust in the Walimai brand, consumers might not feel the need to scan the product at all, thus not updating the system. Thus, Walimai has to incentivize users to scan and authenticate their products which creates a very delicate balance. The tokens can be used by the users to get discounts on products tagged with Walimai's RFID or to buy Walimai protected products.
To kickstart the system, buyers of products protected by Walimai technology will receive some initial tokens when they start buying.The tokens can be used by the consumers to buy more Walimai protected products or to claim discounts and bonuses. Throughout the whitepaper and the company's documents, there is a slight forced use of blockchain related keywords without necessarily matching their context, such as "proof of purchase" in which they simply refer to a customer that bought a product and "mining" by which they mean the action of scanning a product. It might be a way to attract potential investors that might not have an extensive understanding of the proper terminology. The necessity to shift their technology to Blockchain and run an ICO with such a big raise amount is not built on any solid argument. The White Paper hints from time to time to some blockchain technology advantages but doesn't connect them with actual consumers need. Another thing is Walimai's explanation of how certain goods are identified as 'fake goods' is sub par, at best.
By August 2017, the Walimai team closed its presale cycle in which it hit the max Walimai requested and raised 300.000 USD. The team is using said amount to power up the ICO. The tokens sold in the presale are still undergoing a lock period, which should last roughly 3 to 6 months. One might be concerned, however, about the lack of a soft cap. In general, not determining a small cap either points towards greed or the company didn't feel the need to specify a minimum amount for the project to kick off. Another point regarding the token sale is that the hard cap, currently set at $11.5M, seems to be way too high and no where do Walimai explain the reasoning for requesting such a hefty amount in regards to their plans.
Overall, Walimai are a peculiar breed. They have a proper product that's useful and is already applied on the market. They claim to have signed contracts with 3 physical baby stores to set up a dedicated 'Walimai shelf' at their locations. Their team is composed out of competent figures, it seems, and their PreICO reached its raise amount defined meaning there is some support towards their goals. However, it is very unclear as to why they need a blockchain or a token to keep doing what they do. Sure, a blockchain provides many advantages, but in light of dozens of ICOs raising immense amounts of money for no apparent reason these past few months, one might question Walimai's real motives.

Ruth Myles: Shae-Lynn Bourne partners with Anson Carter on Battle of the Blades
Ruth Myles
Will they ever learn?
When the call goes out to former NHL players to lace up a pair of figure skates and compete on Battle of the Blades, they inevitably think, "Sure, how hard can it be?" As they soon find out, plenty hard.
"We've been skating our whole lives, playing hockey at the highest level, then we're told to do the opposite when it comes to figure skating," says Anson Carter, one of eight former pro players featured on the CBC series. "Having to reprogram your whole body, which has been on autopilot for so long, has been a real challenge."
The former right winger is paired with ice dance great Shae-Lynn Bourne on the fourth season of Battle of the Blades, which premiered Sunday with a two-hour retrospective. They will battle it out against seven other teams, all looking to win the grand prize of $100,000 for charity. The competition gets going Sunday with another two-hour episode before settling into its regular 60-minute format.
Carter has been flying to Toronto from his home in Atlanta, Ga., multiple times a week, fitting in practice sessions between his work as a hockey analyst for NBC.
"I don't think anything really prepares you for this. I talked to Bryan Berard (who competed in Season 3) after the first day. I was yelling at him, 'B! You never told me what to expect. You told me to be ready, but not to this extent.' "
Carter is in good hands, though. Bourne and her partners placed second in Seasons 1 and 2. This time 'round, Bourne is going to have an extra cheering section. She married Bohdan Turok in 2011, and the couple has a 15-month-old son, Kai.
"It certainly changes the experience," Bourne says with a laugh over the phone from Toronto, where the BOTB team is doing a media day. "There are some days where I race home because I don't want to miss a minute. It's more juggling, but I have a supportive husband and it's working. It's just that everything is different when you're a parent."
What hasn't changed is the challenge of taking an elite athlete and schooling them in a whole new sport. Choreographer Sandra Bezic co-created Battle of the Blades and even she doesn't know what to expect from the competitors this season.
"It is live TV, and it is completely unpredictable, as it always is. You imagine how they are going to develop, but you never know," Bezic says. "Yes, it's a TV show, but it's an entertainment event, a sports event. You can set the parameters, but what happens in between is only controllable to a point."
The former national pairs champion is easing into a new role this season. In addition to moving from producer to executive producer, Bezic will act as a mentor to the skaters. Former competitors Jamie Sale (who won Season 1 with then partner, now husband Craig Simpson) and P.J. Stock (the third to be eliminated in Season 2) join Kurt Browning on the judging panel. Browning will continue to co-host alongside Ron MacLean.
"We felt it was time for new opinions . . . They (the judges) come at it with so much experience and different perspectives that will push this particular cast to new places," Bezic says. "As far as mentoring, I am just thrilled, truthfully, not to have to eliminate anyone . . . I've been getting on the ice a bit with the pairs and I hope I can lend some inside information to the audience, bring out the detail of their individual journeys as they go through the season."
The skaters have been rehearsing as duos since Sept. 3 Bourne says Carter has shown he's a quick learner.
"He's a strong competitor, but a quiet one. He's not vocal, but I can see deep down that he is a showman. I think that will kick in once it's show time."
But the learning curve isn't a one-way street. Bourne says to expect something "unusual and unique" from her and her partner in their first routine on Sunday's performance show.
"The direction for the story that we tell is not something I've done before. I'm excited that I'm being challenged as a choreographer to try something new."

Organizational Behavior - Groups
A group can be defined as two or more interacting and interdependent individuals who come together to achieve particular objectives. A group behavior can be stated as a course of action a group takes as a family. For example: Strike.
Types of Groups
There are two types of groups an individual forms. They are formal groups and informal groups. Let us know about these two groups.
Formal Groups
These are the type of work groups created by the organization and have designated work assignments and rooted tasks. The behavior of such groups is directed toward achieving organizational goals.
These can be further classified into two sub-groups −
Command group − It is a group consisting of individuals who report directly to the manager.
Interest group − It is a group formed by individuals working together to achieve a specific objective. Example − A group of workers working on a project and reporting to the same manager is considered as a command group. A group of friends chilling out together is considered as interest group or say members of a club.
Informal Groups
These groups are formed with friendships and common interests. These can be further classified into two sub-groups −
Task group − Those working together to finish a job or task is known as task group.
Friendship group − Those brought together because of their shared interests or common characteristics is known as friendship group.
Why Do People Join Groups
There is no particular reason answering why individuals join groups. Group helps individual to feel stronger, have fewer self-doubts, and be more contrary to threats.
The following points help us understand the need of joining a group by individuals −
Security mirrors strength in numbers. Status pinpoints a prestige that comes from belonging to a specific group. Inclusion in a group is considered as important because it provides recognition and status.
Self-esteem transmits people's feelings of self-worth. Membership can sometimes raise feelings of self-esteem like being accepted into a highly valued group.
Affiliation with groups can meet one's social needs. Work groups significantly contribute to meet the need for friendships and social relations.
Groups represent power. What mostly cannot be achieved individually becomes possible with group effort. Power might be aimed to protect themselves from unreasonable demands. Informal groups provide options for individuals to practice power.
People may join a group for goal achievement. Sometimes it takes more than one person to accomplish a particular task.
The concept of roles is applicable to all employees within an organization as well as to their life outside the organization. A role is a set of expected behavior patterns attributed to the one who occupies the position demanded by the social unit.
Individuals play multiple roles at the same time. Employees attempt to understand what kind of behavior is expected from them. An individual when presented by divergent role expectations experiences role conflict. Group roles are divided into three types −
Task-oriented Roles
Relationship-oriented Roles
Individual Roles
Roles allotted to individuals according to their work and eligibility is known as task-oriented roles. Task-oriented roles can broadly divide individuals into six categories initiator, informer, clarifier, summarizer, reality tester and information seekers or providers respectively.
Initiator − The one who proposes, suggests, defines.
Informer − The one who offers facts, expresses feelings, gives opinions.
Clarifier − The one who interprets, defines, clarifies everything.
Summarizer − The one who links, restates, concludes, summarizes.
Reality Tester − The one who provides critical analysis.
Information seekers or providers − The one who gives information and data.
These roles present the work performed by different individuals according to their marked designation.
Roles that group individuals according to their efforts made to maintain healthy relationship in the group and achieve the goals are known as relationship-oriented roles. There are five categories of individuals in this category namely: harmonizer, gatekeeper, consensus tester, encourager, and compromiser.
Harmonizers − The one who limits tension and reconciles disagreements.
Gatekeeper − The one who ensures participation by all.
Consensus Tester − The one who analyzes the decision-making process.
Encourager − The one who is warm, responsive, active, shows acceptance.
Compromiser − The one who admits error, limits conflict.
These roles depict the various roles an individual plays to maintain healthy self as well as group relationships.
Roles that classify a person according to the measure of individual effort put in the project aimed is known as individual roles. Five types of individuals fall into these roles: aggressor, blocker, dominator, cavalier, and avoidance.
Aggressor − The one who devalues others, attacks ideas.
Blocker − The one who disagrees and rebels beyond reason.
Dominator − The one who insists superiority to manipulate.
Cavalier − The one who takes part in a group non-productively.
Avoidance − The one who shows special interest to avoid task.
These are the various roles a person plays in an organization.
Well-Functioning Groups
We know what a group is, why it is important to form a group, and what the group-oriented roles are. Now we need to know how to mark a group as a well-functioning group, what features are necessary for a group to mark it as efficient.
A group is considered effective when it has the following characteristics.
Relaxed, comfortable, friendly atmosphere.
Task to be executed are well understood and accepted.
Members listen well and actively participate in given assignments.
Assignments are made clear and are accepted.
Group is acquainted of its operation and function.
People express their feelings and ideas openly.
Consensus decision-making process is followed.
Conflict and disagreement center regarding ideas or method.
Group Behavior – Example
Let us understand group behavior with the help of an example.
To work on a specific project, we make a group of 4 members: Rohit, Raj, Sid, and Rahul. It is not possible for any one of them to complete the project individually as it may be time consuming as well as not all the members as individuals have mastered the skills required to complete the project. This indicates the need to come together as a group.
Moving ahead, let us specify their roles. Rohit is the initiator, as he proposes the idea of the project, Raj collects all the information and resources required for the project and becomes the informer, Sid is the clarifier as he interprets the data and saves refined information, and Rahul is the summarizer as he concludes the result of the project that is what do we achieve by the end of our project. These are the task-oriented roles.
When a group of people come together and present their ideas there is a fair chance of collision. Rohit tries to resolve all the disagreements and disputes in the first place and acts as a harmonizer, Sid makes sure that everybody is giving their full support and effort in the project and acts as a gatekeeper, Raj is the one encouraging everyone and motivating them when they fail to try harder to complete the project and is the encourager, while Rahul tests the project at each stage and examines the major decision to be made and is the consensus tester. These are the relationship-oriented roles of each member.
Individually, each of them have different tasks to fulfill. Rohit tries to be the group leader and impose his ideas on others and we consider him as the dominator, Rahul is always up with excuses to avoid the task given to him and acts as avoider, Raj is the one who opposes everything but is never up with some new idea and becomes the blocker, while Sid takes part in every group activity in a non-productive way and becomes the cavalier.
It is a group to which a person or another group is compared. Reference groups are used in order to examine and determine the nature of a person or other group's features and sociological attributes. It is the group to which a person relates or aspires to link himself or herself psychologically.
It is important for deciding a person's self-identity, attitudes, and social ties. It becomes the ground of reference in making comparisons or contrasts and in judging one's appearance and performance. These groups act as a benchmark and contrast needed for comparison and evaluation of group and personal characteristics.
An example of a reference group, would be the certainty of wealth. An individual in the US with an annual income of $70,000, may consider himself rich if he compares himself to those in the middle income strata, who earn roughly $22,000 a year. However, if the same person considers the relevant reference group to be those in the top 0.5% of households in the US, those making $1.8 million or more, then the individual's income of $70,000 would make him seem rather poor.


Sarah stood looking at the packing cartons. Two held kitchen ware, one a dinner service, eight were books, three office, one clothes whilst the remaining eighteen boxes were marked crystal. Why had she kept all this crystal? They never used it. Damian wouldn't drink out of the wine glasses and they no longer entertained to use the parfait glasses and dessert bowls. She hadn't had a dressing table in years so why did she lug around the dressing table set.
"I'll sell the crystal," Sarah said.

Brilliantly written. The ending is great. The changing of popular pieces in different times. Great piece.
Thank you Lisa. Yes it is one item that was once revered and now no longer wanted. Every so often I think of selling my crystal but then I look at it and it is truly beautiful so it sits in a cupboard never seeing the light of day. Glad you enjoyed the piece.
Ah! The demise of fine dining! But this is true. Last summer I went to these estate sales on the Keweenaw and saw beautiful crystal for so few dollars, but no one wanted it.
Yes it is shunned. Such a shame.
I'd buy it, but have no place to put it!
I've discovered that no one wants the tchotchkes I think are charming. Like in the wonderful book, Broken for You by Stephanie Kallos, they may be destined for some kind of recyling project I don't want to know about. Your story ending is absolutely right on.
Thanks Sharon re the end. Tchotchkes is not a word I had heard before. I believe it means trinket and I haven't heard of the book either. Thank you for giving me a book to add to my reading list and a new word. Luckily we all have something we find beautiful and who cares if no-one else finds it beautiful – I probably don't find beautiful what they collect.
The book is fabulous and widely read, often a book club choice.
I need a book club choice….
I may be waiting a long time. Thanks for reading keith.
Thank you very much Clare.
It's sad that elegance has gone out of style, isn't it? It makes me want to throw a dinner party and use the crystal. 😉 Well done.
Bwahaha! That's a great last line. A ripper!
You build nicely to the last line, which made me smile.
I must be very out of date because I like crystal. I use the wine glasses twice a week, and the cheese plate three or four days a week; the other pieces are used, but less often.
Thanks Penny. I'm glad you use them Penny. I would too but my husband doesn't like them and we no longer entertain so don't have reason to.
Such a shame these objects have lost their appeal, but perhaps one day they will be treasured again.
You never know. If they do then I'll sell them.
You and my husband feel the same. Fashion does impact on everything.
Thanks Brenda. Fashion always turns full circle if you wait long enough. I'll probably wait.
Was, is crystal that bad. I think people are given so much for presents that it's almost old hat. You are right who buys it these days, our charity shops are full of it.
I seemed to have dropped a few words off my comment.
I have had a look around your site, there are some wonderful pictures.
Thank you James. Photography is a hobby and now that there aren't developing costs I can go mad. Glad you enjoyed them.
I actually think crystal is beautiful and can't bare to part with it. Apparently I'm in the minority but no – it isn't that bad.
Yes I think charity shops are the only people that want it – it would be interesting to know if they have a market for it.
Yet I bet she still can't bring herself to get rid of it.

Unemployment rate in Philippines dips to 7.4%
Tuesday, December 7th, 2021 at 8:30 PM
Manila: Around 3.50 million Filipinos were out of work in October, down from the 4.25 million reported in September, according to a Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) survey released on Tuesday.
In an online briefing, PSA head Dennis Mapa said the October unemployment rate, 7.4 per cent, was the third lowest reported this year, reports Xinhua news agency.
The lowest reported was in July, estimated at 6.9 per cent, followed by 7.1 per cent in March.
The unemployment rate was the highest in September at 8.9 per cent.
The country's economic team said the October labour force survey results "affirmed the soundness of the government's push to safely reopen the economy, restore employment, and manage the spread of the Covid-19".
"As we relaxed restrictions, more people were able to work while Covid-19 positivity, case fatality, and bed occupancy rates continued to improve," said the team comprising Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez, and Budget officer-in-charge Tina Rose Marie Canda.
"Sustaining these gains will allow us to recover to the pre-pandemic level in early 2022, a year ahead of the government's initial estimates," the team added.
The team said more people are employed now than in the months before the pandemic struck.
"Employment creation remained positive as 234,000 more Filipinos were able to find work in the past month."
It added that this brings total employment to 1.3 million above pre-pandemic levels.
The team said the government's policies that further reopened the economy safely, such as shifting to the alert level system and granular lockdowns from large-area and blanket quarantines and allowing more mobility for vaccinated individuals, led to better employment outcomes in October.

I was actually really happy with it. I liked our energy, I liked our focus, I liked our execution of our details. Our bench was really good and we got some looks, so I was really happy with the start. The second period, I thought early on got away from us a little bit. We got in our D-zone, just need at the end to close out some plays a little bit quicker. But overall, I liked our process to start the game.
On Kasimir Kaskisuo:
He definitely made big saves. He's been playing well lately. He had a good weekend this past week and it's just one of those nights. I thought their goalie played really well, too. We had some backdoor empty nets on the power play we just couldn't finish on, so we got our looks. Our staff really liked our process, our energy and a lot of things that we talked about the guys were executing. So, we'll just build on focusing on the process and not the result.

The Marlies will close out the decade on home ice today as they host the Cleveland Monsters for the third time this season.
Toronto will be looking to bounce back from a tough 6-1 loss to Laval on Saturday, and get back in the win column heading into 2020. The Marlies sit in third place in the North Division and fifth in the Eastern Conference with 41 points. Pontus Aberg leads the way for the Marlies with 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) through 26 games while Jeremy Bracco holds the team lead in assists with 23. Bracco has assists (5) in four consecutive games.
The Monsters have a quick turnaround, returning to action today after dropping a 3-1 decision to the Charlotte Checkers last night. The Monsters are 3-6-0-1 in their previous 10 contests and currently sit in seventh place in the North Division and 13th in the Eastern Conference.
The Marlies hold a 2-0 lead in the regular season series against the Monsters after picking up back-to-back wins on home ice in October. The Marlies are 9-5-2-1 against North Division opponents and they have home ice on their side today, which has proven to be advantageous to the blue and white with their current 12-4 home record.
Puck drops at 3:00 PM on Leafs Nation Network and fans across Canada can also stream the game live in the Maple Leafs App.

news Pay strategy Pay strategy
NHS healthcare workers to receive Covid-19 overtime pay
By Louron Pratt	 1st June 2020 10:48 am 1st June 2020 12:40 pm
NHS Employers, part of the NHS confederation, has updated a pay agreement for NHS healthcare employees in England to ensure they are paid for any additional hours they work above their allotted hours, during the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.
Unions including Unison, the Royal College of Nursing and the Royal College of Midwives, have agreed an overtime template with NHS employers ensuring that health employees across England receive pay if they work overtime.
Employees who have to work beyond their shifts, or agree at the specific request of the employer to work longer than 37.5 hours, will receive pay for the extra hours that they work.
This agreement, for all NHS employees from band one to seven will be effective immediately, until 31 August 2020, at which time it will be reviewed with the option to extend it if necessary.
Employees in band eight and nine currently receive time off in lieu as opposed to overtime payments. Talks by trade unions and NHS employers are being held to discuss modifying this.
A spokesperson at NHS employers, said: "Trade unions and employers have continued to work constructively, and at pace, to input into the government's emergency response in producing guidance and updates on emerging positions.
"As part of this work, the employers and trade unions from the NHS Staff Council Executive recently asked the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to introduce temporary changes to overtime payments made to staff during the Coronavirus emergency and its aftermath."
"The request has been considered by the Secretary of State, who has confirmed that he is content to leave the matter for local determination rather than agree the proposal for a national solution. The NHS Staff Council is aware that the conversation about these overtime provisions will, consequently, move to an organisational level."

I am an experienced model located in Las Vegas, NV. I specialize in pinup but also love alt and horror. I have been modeling for about 3 years. I have always been drawn to pinup culture. I really love the classic beauty and subtle but in your face sex appeal of the 1940's and 1950's starlets. They just oozed elegance and beauty. When I was young I was naturally drawn to movies and music that weren't of my time. My beauty idols were Bettie Page, Jayne Mansfield, Judy Garland, and Bridgette Bardot. I think that plays a big part in my modeling today.
I love interacting with people who love pinup culture. I am very active on my page, always posting photos, behind the scenes action, inspirations, giveaways and more. Be sure to become a fan of my page! www.facebook.com/sarahvampmodel

Built about 1925, this imposing hotel building occupies three quarters of the block on the north side of Second St. bewtween Central and Chestnut avenues. It is a Commercial Vernacular mix of Neo-classical and Early Twentieth Century Commercial Style design details. Executed in red brick with beige concrete contrasting features, the hotel rises three stories above Central Ave. The elevation facing Central Ave. is four bays wide and twice the width of most other buildings on the street. The Third St. elevation is twenty bays long. The shaped cornice with concrete coping and decorative shaped parapet crowns the building. Denticulated pediments rest on pilasters defining projecting window bays on the third story. Three concrete belt courses separate the stories. Window openings are simple with the wide belt courses serving as lintels, and narrower belt courses formed from connected sills. A two story addition was constructed in 1928 which bridged the alley.
Although the first story has been altered, it is evident that there were originally glass transoms above the glass torefronts. Retail, restaurant and lobby space occupied the first floor, while hotel rooms were located on the second and third floors. The building is now used as apartment space.
This property is a contributing member of the Marshfield Central Avenue Historic District under Criterion C of the National Register of Historic Places. It is represeentative of the Architecture Theme of the Wisconsin Cultural Resource Management Plan as an example of Commercial Vernacular architecture with Neo-classical and Early Twentieth Century Commercial Style details. The building's architectural integrity on the second story is high, while the first story alterations are reflective of continued use and changing stylistic preferences.
This site was the location of a hotel from 1884. At that time it was a wood frame building known as the Eagle Hotel. In 1887 a new brick building was known as the Grand Central Hotel. From 1891 through the property was known as the Central Hotel. The name Eagle Hotel was reused in. This builidng was being planned in 1925 as a half block deep. As built, the hotel is another half again as big, with an arch covering the alley between Central and Chestnut Avenues. The hotel opened on 1/3/1926.
Charles Blodgett, important Marshfield citizen and founder of C.E. Blodgett and Sons Co. (cheese makers), added to the demise of his first, and well known, Blodgett Hotel [not extant, site of 22 S. Central, WO 10/32] when he constructd the Hotel Chalres in 1926. The Hotel Bodgett had been a Marshfield institution from about 1902, when Sunday night dinners were made into special events (prior to Blodgett's ownership the hotel had been known as the Tremont House; Blodgett purchased it in 1898) through the 1920s. When the more modern Hotel Charles was finished, the dining facilities were moved there from the Hotel Blodgett. The Hotel Charles was an active concern through the early 1970s, and still serves as a centerpiece for downtown Marshfield.
This property is a contributing member of the Marshfield Central Avenue Historic District under Criterion A of the National Register of Historic Places. It is representative of the Commerce Theme of the Wisconsin Cultural Resource Management Plan as an example of a hotel providing Goods and Services.

Get 'Out of Body'
Review: Needtobreathe - Out of Body
News: Acclaimed Documentary 'Needtobreathe: Into The Mystery' Goes On-Demand
News: Needtobreathe Releasing 'Into The Mystery' Film Documentary
Needtobreathe
Needtobreathe Release Official Music Video For 'Who Am I'
GRAMMY Award-nominated rock band NEEDTOBREATHE has returned with an official music video for "Who Am I". The video, which premiered earlier today on Parade.com, follows "Hang On" as the second Jared Hogan-directed clip in a five-part series of visuals for the band's forthcoming album Out of Body.
"It's been amazing to see the fan reaction to 'Who Am I' so far. We wanted to keep this video simple and let the performance speak for itself," the band shared. "We are working on some new ideas specifically with this track, so we hope fans and everybody keep an eye out for that."
Out of Body is due for release on August 28, 2020 via Elektra Records/Centricity Music, and is available for pre-order and pre-save now HERE. Limited edition merch bundles and experiences are available exclusively through NEEDTOBREATHE's online store.
NEEDTOBREATHE will welcome the album with Celebrating Out of Body, a fully immersive concert experience directed by acclaimed filmmaker Elizabeth Olmstead (Brandi Carlile, The Highwomen) that will see the band perform their new songs live for the very first time. Streamed from the studio in Nashville, TN, this high definition audio and video experience will put fans right in the middle of a live performance to celebrate the album's release. Celebrating Out of Body will take place on Friday, August 28th at 9:00pm ET.
NEEDTOBREATHE introduced Out of Body in April with the release of anthemic lead single "Hang On" and ballad "Seasons". American Songwriter claimed, "'Hang On' could easily be the next summertime sing-along," and E! News praised the track as "The sort of anthem we all need right about now." "Hang On" has already soundtracked a national campaign for the PGA Tour's Impact Initiative and been featured in the season finale of American Idol.
In June, NEEDTOBREATHE launched the album's pre-order alongside its third song "Survival" (feat. Drew & Ellie Holcomb)", and shared the emotionally charged track "Who Am I". Earlier this month, the band released the album's fifth and final instant-grat track "Banks". Fans who pre-order Out of Body will receive immediate downloads of all five songs the band has unveiled.
On Out of Body, the platinum-certified trio - Bear Rinehart [vocals, guitar], Seth Bolt [bass, vocals], and Josh Lovelace [keys, vocals] - examine life, family, and friends through a youthful prism. The guys take stock of not only two decades as a band, but also first-time fatherhood and the future over a rich soundtrack of soulful rock with stadium-size scope and poetic intimacy. After spending a week at a beach house in Charleston to gather thoughts and ideas, the trio headed to Nashville, to record alongside producers Cason Cooley and Jeremy Lutito. As they cultivated a team atmosphere, the songs organically came to life.
Out of Body follows 2016's H A R D L O V E, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Current Album Sales Chart, and featured the gold-certified title track "Hard Love".

The Record Vault: Disturbed – Believe
August 18, 2021 destroyerofharmony2002, believe, Disturbed, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, melodic metal, Melodic Rock, nu-metal, review 6 Comments
Album number 2, released in September 2002. David Draiman is on vocals, Dan Donegan is on guitar and keyboards, Steve "Fuzz" Kmak is on bass and Mike Wengren is on drums. It's also the last album to feature original "Fuzz" before he was booted from the band in 2003.
It's also produced by Johnny K and the band members. And the mix from Andy Wallace is excellent.
The lyrical focus is different this time around. While "The Sickness" dealt with violence, "Believe" is more of a spiritual album.
As soon as the opening staccato riff for "Prayer" starts off, in syncopation with the kick drum, I was hooked.
One thing that was clear to me when I played it, was the anthemic melodic rock Chorus in which Draiman soars, and this vocal style would appear across all of the songs on the album.
It could have come from the first album as the verses follow the staccato singing with the catchcry of "liberate your mind, motherfucker you're so narrow minded, narrow minded".
The Pre-Chorus has Draiman doing fast spoken vocals on one track and on another he's doing middle eastern ohhhs and ahhhs.
But the Chorus. Anthemic.
Wengren on the drums deserves special mention here. Its percussive and frantic.
It's a heavy rock song with a foot stomping groove and as Wikipedia tells me, it deals with America's never-ending obsession with "wallpaper music". I didn't get that impression from the lyrics but…
The vocal style from "The Sickness" is prevalent here as he spits out the words like a machine gun.
Check out the outro riffing and how the bass drum is in unison with it.
Another staccato style riff in the vein of "Prayer".
The Chorus. Brilliant.
All your belief cannot absolve your sin
Check out Donegan's multi-layered guitar parts after the second Chorus.
At 2.36 it goes into a Tool/Deftones style groove. Instead of head banging, you sway.
One of the best Disturbed songs. The opening riff grooves and man its heavy.
And vocally, David Draiman really announces himself here as a force to be reckoned with.
The Chorus you don't get to hear until half way through as the song goes, Verse, Pre, Verse, Pre and then the Chorus. But when it comes in, it explodes out of the speakers and totally worth the wait.
Wikipedia tells me that "Remember" delves into the cutthroat nature of the music industry as well as Draiman's resistance to indulgent partying. But I don't get that view by looking at the lyrics.
Check out the multi-layered guitar parts in the last Chorus.
It's more of the same style from the debut album, with the vocal line and guitar line and bass drum pattern all syncopated in unison.
The Chorus is massive and it rhymes vilify with sanctify and I like it.
The intro riff is metal at its best.
There is another riff in the song which I always called the Chorus riff, but I think it's played just after the Chorus.
The riffs are cool to jam on.
At 2.09, a change of groove comes in, with slightly distorted arpeggios. It percolates before it crashes back in to the main riff.
The intro/verse riff is a great riff to jam to. And checkout the bass riff which compliments it.
At 2.56, this Tool "Schism" like groove kicks in and I'm jamming it.
A flanged/phased wah riff kicks off the song, before the effects are taken off and its good old distortion cranking through.
You can call this a relationship song.
At 2.33, the song goes into a few grooves which they use for an interlude. No solos are allowed on Johnny K produced albums.
Great riffs in this song, especially the riff just before the anthemic Chorus.
At 2.35, a simple riff kicks in which they build back up into the Chorus.
And for the fans who said Disturbed sold out with their cover of "The Sound Of Silence" must have forgotten about this song, which is just acoustic guitar, piano and strings. And one of their best.
In Australia and Canada, it went Platinum. In the U.S it went 2x Platinum. In New Zealand and the U.K it went Gold.
Crank it and believe.
I guess the word "motherfucker" was too much for the censors, so they felt the need to sticker it.

← 1976 Part 2.6: Ted Nugent – Free For All
6 thoughts on "The Record Vault: Disturbed – Believe"
I think this is where I discovered them. Some really great stuff. I like David's vocals and the songs were heavy, but still accessible for me.
I agree it's a melodic metal type of album.
This is the Album for me!, can clearly remember the CD being in the car for like two months straight and for some reason I think SOAD Toxicity was also out and those 2 would've been in the car for 6 months. What struck me from this album to the next was the bass, soon as Steve Kmak was out the music got very one directional IMO. I then saw them live and was very disappointing lol
Great albums to have in the car. I also had a Creed mix CD as well and Tool. Lol.
I did see Disturbed live as well. The first time was on the Believe tour and they rocked the Metro in Sydney. The second time was on the Ten Thousand Fists tour and all of that precision riffing was lost in a terrible mix.
Amazing how these guys could pile up the sales. Maybe I'm missing the boat on this one lol

Máriatölgyes (1899-ig Dubnicz, szlovákul Dubnica nad Váhom, ) város Szlovákiában, a Trencséni kerület Illavai járásában. Peréte és Vágmogyoród tartozik hozzá. Mai magyar nevét a 19. század végi földrajzinév-magyarosítási hullám idején kapta.

Fekvése
Trencséntől 15 km-re északkeletre, a Vágmente középső részén, az Illavai-medencében, a Vág bal partján fekszik.

Története
Területén már a kőkorszakban emberi település állt. A korai vaskorban kelták szállták meg az Illavai medencét. Az első szlávok a 6. század elején vándoroltak be erre a vidékre.

A település 1193-ban szerepel először oklevélben "Dubnicza" néven. Ekkor két testvér, Vratislav és Piskin birtoka. Templomát 1276-ban említik először abban az oklevélben, melyben Vratislav unokái eladják birtokukat Oltuman nevű nővérüknek. A templom Szent Jakab tiszteletére volt szentelve. A 15. század elején kihalt a birtokos család, ekkor a település Trencsén várának uradalmához került.
1538-ban 46 portája volt. 1608-ban 49 jobbágytelek, 54 zsellértelek, 2 malom, sörfőzde, major, kocsma állt a településen.

A 16. század végén a templomot elfoglalták az evangélikusok. A birtokos Illésházyak a 17. század derekán katolikusok lettek,  ezért 1657-ben visszajuttatták a templomot a katolikusoknak. 1639-ben és 1730-ban mezőváros lett és vásártartási jogot kapott. 1683-ban Sobieski János serege fosztotta ki. 1728-ban 28 jobbágy, 26 zsellértelke, majorja, sörfőzdéje, 2 kocsmája, pálinkafőzdéje és téglagyára volt. 1754-ben elkészült az új templom, amely nemsokára kegytemplom lett. 1828-ban 189 házában 1868 lakos élt. A település birtokosa 1835-ben a báró Sina család lett.

Vályi András szerint "DUBNITZ. vagy Dubnitza. Népes tót Mező Város Trentsén Vármegyében, földes Ura Gróf Illésházy Uraság, lakosai katolikusok, fekszik Illovátol nem meszsze, 's az Uraságnak kastéllyát, mellyel a' Város díszesíttetik, épittette néhai Gróf Illésházy Miklós 1719dik esztendőben akkori Magyar Országnak Kantzelláriusa, bútsú járásai a' kalvária hegyére nevezetesek, Szentegyháza Szent Jakabnak tiszteletére építtetett, vásárjai is vagynak, határja jó, legelője elég, piatzozása alkalmatos, első Osztálybéli."

Fényes Elek szerint "Dubnicza, Trencsén m. tót mezőváros, a Vágh bal partján: 1903 kath., 9 evang., 36 zsidó lak. Kath. paroch. templom, synagóga. Ékesiti ezen helyet az uraság várkastélya, egy gyönyörü angol kerttel együtt. Van itt továbbá egy szép kalvária, s a boldogságos szűz Mária csudatévő képéhez nagy bucsu-járások történnek. Ezelőtt a gr. Illésháziak birtokában volt a hozzá tartozó uradalommal együtt, de 1835-ben b. Szina megvette. Ut. p. Trencsén."

1869-ben Máriatölgyesen 228 ház, 365 háztartás és 1683 lakos volt. Lakói főként mezőgazdasággal foglalkoztak, emellett állattartással, kézművességgel foglalkoztak.

A trianoni békeszerződésig Trencsén vármegye Illavai járásához tartozott.

Népessége
1910-ben 1833, többségben szlovák lakosa volt, jelentős magyar kisebbséggel.

2011-ben 25 305 lakosából 21 669 szlovák és 189 cseh volt.

Nevezetességei

 Szent Jakab tiszteletére szentelt római katolikus temploma 1276-ban már állt, mai formájában 1756-ban épült.
 Templomának kegyszobrát az Illésházyak ajándékozták 1723-ban, előzőleg a kastélykápolnában, azelőtt pedig a trencséni várban őrizték. A szobor valószínűleg Illésházy György megrendelésére készült a 17. század közepén. 1742-óta a gyógyulások hírére lett búcsújáróhely.
 A Szent Kereszt kápolna 1770-ben, a kastélyban levő Nagyboldogasszony kápolna a 17. században épült.
 Emeletes tornyos Illésházy-kastélya 1670-ben épült korabarokk stílusban. 1719 és 1730 között bővítették. 1835-ben a dúsgazdag báró Sina családé lett, értékes berendezése és műgyűjteménye a második világháborúban pusztult el.
 Reneszánsz kastélya a 17. század első felében épült, mai formáját a 18. században nyerte el. Ma az Astoria Lux szálloda működik benne.
 Innen származik a 19. század közepén felfedezett Dubnici krónika, melyet Nagyváradon írtak 1479-ben.
 Folklórfesztivál.

Neves személyek
 Itt született 1675-ben Dubniczai István nyitra-egyházmegyei katolikus pap.

Q: django-storages/boto/s3 caching issue I run Django + Celery on Heroku.
I create files at a Celery task at background (Heroku worker) and I upload images to S3 using this method:
def uploadToS3(img, out):
    out_im  = cStringIO.StringIO()
    img.save(out_im, 'gif')
    conn = boto.connect_s3()
    b = conn.get_bucket('mybucket')
    k = b.new_key(out)
    k.set_contents_from_string(out_im.getvalue(),{'Content-Type': 'image/gif'})
    k.set_acl('public-read')
    #test
    imageExists = default_storage.exists(out)

    if imageExists:
        print out +  " exists."
    else:
        print out +  " does not exists."

It works perfectly. The image is indeed created.
The issue is that after the file is created and also visible at S3 web console and through a browser(it is there...) - running the same test:
    imageExists = default_storage.exists(my_image_path_at_s3)

at the other process (Django app) - returns false.
Only restarting the Django app caused it recognize the new file at s3.
It seems like caching, but I didn't managed to find where it is...
Any hints?

Q: How can I make all of my activities able to handle a broadcast from a service? Let's say I have activity A which will go to activity B and also start a service in the background. Activity B could go to a lot of other activities (C, D, E, F, etc). The background service will do some work, and when it finishes, it will send a broadcast such that the whole app will go back to activity A no matter which activity the app is currently in.
I would like to ask how to implement this kind of broadcast and how to make all of my activities able to handle the broadcast without adding code for each activity class.

A: create base activity, and extends it from all yours activities.in base activity write your handle logic

A: I'd question whether you need your activities to handle this response. In most cases, you will only ever have one or zero Activities in the foreground at any one time, so there's no need for background Activities to process this information as it will only be relevant to whatever activity is user visible.
I would run any logic you need in the Service and output some kind of serializable/parcelable "result", which can then be persisted (SharedPreferences, SQLite, whatever else). Your Activities can subscribe to changes to this by registering an appropriate listener (i.e. an OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener or ContentObserver) in onResume and unregister in onPause, which means only visible activties will handle the information. Also in onResume, you can query this result value, so any Activities that subsequently come to the foreground can use this "Result" as and when it is required.
The Listener can be placed in its own class, and you can either put it in a BaseActivity or some sort, or just have your Activities implement it separately as it will be just a line or two.

When Yeezus Stopped Partying in L.A.
by J. Joseph
When Kanye West released Yeezus (and simultaneously started to refer to himself as Yeezus), the music world was divided. On the one hand, his musical production had reached new heights and entered into very interesting territory; it was generally lauded. On the other the lyrics on the album suffered tremendously (and he himself noted that the lyrics on the album were decidedly lazy). It seemed that Kanye West, the lyricist, was dead and gone, lost in his musical development. But then he stopped partying in L.A.
As would be expected at this point in his career, the most immediately striking thing about Kanye's single No More Parties in L.A. off The Life of Pablo is its musical composition. While Kanye West is known for prolific use of samples, the use of them here is nothing like what we could have expected. Perhaps a product of co-producing the track with musician Madlib, the instrumentation lacks the bombast of West's previous songs. Instead, the music plays out like a bluesy montage, not far off from other Madlib work. The deep bass riffs sound as if they're melting into your ears, dripping with the sounds of slow jazz. Listening to it is a calming experience, the type of music you could fall asleep to, but the vocal samples keep the energy moving, turning the instrumental from a deep bass lullaby into a head bumping hip-hop jam. Assembled from the sampling of three different songs, the instrumentation is reminiscent of the very same Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness, but takes obvious influence from the West Coast hip-hop tradition. The backing guitar riff, for example, strongly resembles the notorious riff from Dr. Dre's The Next Episode (itself a sample of David McCallum's The Edge). Being a Chicago native, this seems to be a strange choice for West, but ends up paying off in a multitude of ways.
First and foremost, the instrumental allows featured artist Kendrick Lamar to shine in full. A West Coast native, Kendrick with his lyricism and style fits in perfectly here and we almost feel like we're hearing a verse from his debut album Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City rather than a featured verse on a Kanye track. He unpacks complicated rhyme schemes and action-packed flow construction on the beat as if he produced it himself knowing it inside and out:
She said she came out here to find an A-list rapper
I said baby, spin that round and say the alphabet backwards
You're dealing with malpractice, don't kill a good n***a's confidence
Just cause he a nerd and you don't know what a condom is
He matches the downbeats perfectly, pounding his points down in places that sonically force us to listen. Kendrick makes full effort here to get our attention and keep it. This striking musical flow makes it incredibly easy to get lost in the mere rhythm of what he has to say. He allows us to recognize the poeticism without even beginning to unpack the metaphors and double entendres he has locked up in his lyrics. Because of this, what easily could have been a run-of-the-mill featured verse became a shining example of hip-hop excellence.
Alternatively, Kanye goes for a less complex approach. Instead of trying to keep up with the prodigal intricacies of Kendrick ("The pop community, I mean these b***es come with union fee / and I want two of these, moving units through consumer streets"), Kanye opts for short stark statements that culminate as an eloquent confessional:
A backpack n***a with luxury taste buds
And the Louis Vuitton store, got all of my pay stubs
Got p**sy from beats I did for n***as more famous
When did I become A-list? I wasn't even on a list
In a nontraditional move, he puts his verse (that of the primary performer) behind Kendrick's (that of the featured performer), which allows for his words to pack even more punch; they are the last thing we hear before the well cobbled slow jam that is the instrumental returns to book end the song. The result is a verse that sounds less like Kanye showing off his ability to be lyrically complex and more like a highly refined statement that he, in all his glory, has returned to the world.
Beyond strengthening the effectiveness of Kanye's verse, this structure illuminates an underlying theme of this song: perspective. Both Kanye and Kendrick are giving their perspectives on the exuberant lifestyle of being a hip-hop artist, but more importantly, those confessionals give some perspective on hip-hop legacy. Kanye, a self made hip-hop legend is helping further build up the already bolstering career of Kendrick, while still building on his own career. And we can feel this in the music, as the sampled tracks of days long gone are assembled in perfect form to create something new, and striking, and jarring. The beat to No More Parties in L.A. is in this way, so ironically unique, that it will most certainly become an immediately recognizable piece in hip-hop history. The single worked as a solid precursor for Kanye's latest album The Life of Pablo, as it sets the stage for us to expect a resurgence of the legendary; it got us ready.
That said, No More Parties in L.A. was a terrific indicator of the lyrical prowess to come on The Life of Pablo. On this track, Kanye sees some return to form, utilizing a lyrical flow reminiscent of verses on his albums The College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation. He even notes "I know some fans who thought I would never rap like this again / but the writer's block is over, emcees cancel your plans." Any criticism of his lyrical work on his last album Yeezus will ultimately fall short here, as his vocal rhythm and lyrical grace are in full form, transitioning from topic to topic seamlessly. With No More Parties in L.A. it seems that Yeezus has been crucified, and three years later has risen from the dead with fiery musical ambition.

Шевальє Луї де Жоку́р (; 16 вересня 1704, Париж — 3 лютого 1779, Комп'єнь) — французький філософ, письменник, енциклопедист.

Людина надзвичайно широких знань і культури, шевальє де Жокур поряд з Бюфоном — автор наукової частини енциклопедії Дідро і д'Аламбера. Він брав участь у написанні близько половини всіх статей останніх томів, є автором 18 з 72 тисяч статей енциклопедії, тобто чверті усього обсягу. Шевальє де Жокура називали рабом енциклопедії.

Серед написаних ним статей є також такі статті на загально-людські теми, як рабство і «поводження з неграми», в яких він вимагав припинення такої практики, війна, інквізиція, монархія, батьківщина, народ, преса.

Біографія

Луї де Жокур належав до давнього шляхетського роду з Бурґундії, представники якого сповідували протестантизм. Хоча батьки Жокура офіційно прийняли католицизм, тодішня влада ставилася до них з підозрою, як до таємних протестантів. Ця обставина змусила їхнього сина під чужим ім'ям поїхати до Женеви, щоб вивчати протестантську теологію. Згодом де Жокур вивчав точні й природничі науки в Кембриджі та медицину в Лейдені, де познайомився з низкою провідних учених свого часу. Повернувшись до Франції де Жокур вирішує викласти набуті медичні знання в великому енциклопедичному словнику під назвою «Lexicon medicum universalis». Робота над словником тривала 20 років. Закінчивши укладати словник, де Жокур відправив рукопис до Амстердама, де його можна було надрукувати без цензури. На жаль корабель, який перевозив єдину копію рукопису до голландського друкаря, потонув, і рукопис було втрачено.

В 1756 році Луї де Жокур стає членом Лондонського короліського товариства. Саме тоді Дідро запропонував йому долучитися до роботи над щойно розпочатою енциклопедією. Де Жокур погодився й написав чимало статей, але в 1757 році вороги просвітництва зуміли добитися заборони енциклопедії, коли тривала робота над сьомим томом. Тоді, коли інші дописувачі кинули роботу, де Жокур продовжував напружено працювати, редагуючи з допомогою секретарів, яким платив із власної кишені, до чотирьох статей на день. На відміну від багатьох інших дописувачів енциклопедії, які вимагали платню за свою роботу, де Жокур працював безплатно, оскільки був заможною людиною. Коли, після восьми років заборони, робота над укладанням енциклопедії змогла знову зрушити з місця, де Жокур мав досить матеріалу, щоб видати 10 останніх томів впродовж одного 1765 року. В цих томах кожна друга стаття належала перу де Жокура.

Публічно Дідро безперестанку розхвалював де Жокура, але поза його спиною не соромився називати його педантом. Це зневажливе ставлення закріпилося, й де Жокура нечасто називають серед авторів енциклопедії, хоча без нього вона ніколи не була б завершеною. До відносного забуття де Жокура прислужилося також його аристократичне походження, що стало непопулярним після революції.

Де Жокур писав здебільшого статті з природничих наук, біології й медицини, узагальнюючи матеріал із книжок інших авторів, часто копіюючи значні уривки тексту. У науці він притнимувався механістичних поглядів, що було характерним для його епохи. Політичні й філософські погляди де Жокура проявилися в статтях «війна», «монархія», «народ». Хоча він ніколи не висловлював своїх поглядів так відверто, як Дідро і Вольтер, статті свідчать про тверді радикальні і анти-клерикальні переконання автора.

Окрім вкладу в енциклопедію і загубленого шеститомного рукопису Lexicon medicum universalis де Жокур опублікував також в 1756 році «Життя Лейбніца» і є автором численних мемуарів, адресованих різним академіям і науковим товариствам.

Як лікар, де Жокур лікував тільки бідних, пожертвувавши свій статок і обмежуючись для власних потреб лише необхідним.

Де Жокур був членом академій Берліна, Стокгольма і Бордо.

Baron Brice Henry, R.D.
The Kings are Dead, Long Live the Caliph!
So the Elevator Kings didn't work out. The band itself was shaping up well and there's nothing about our first and only performance I would alter. From my perspective, the show went excellently. I walked away from that evening feeling invigorated about performing and optimistic for the future of the group. A few weeks later I received a phone call informing me that I was incorrect. Despite my observations of a majority of those in attendance applauding after every song, spending money and enjoying themselves, I was informed that my performance (not the band's but only mine) was unacceptably poor and had caused a degree of panic with in the establishment. Now this wasn't clear to me from the positive response of the audience from my position on stage. This was not clear from anyone in charge as I picked up the checks and was reimbursed in the same friendly manor I had been for years. As far as I can tell this was only clear to possibly one table, who despite seeing others around them enjoy the music, felt that their money was greener and their opinions of music were more valid then those enjoying themselves. The establishment agreed with this minority.
I intend to address the late Elevator Kings as well as the circumstances regarding my exit from the Fifth Street Quartet in full detail at a later time along with my current feelings on Jazz. Today I had to at minimum give you, dear reader, a basic explanation of what happened before we could move forward together. What happened with the Kings could be describe by Sting as "a humiliating kick in the crotch" of my ego. This vulnerability would have never occurred if I hadn't put on a performance that exposed myself to it through true exploration. This is the hallmark of real Jazz and true art.
While this incident knocked the proverbial wind out of my sails for a few months, 2019 has been one of my most successful music years to date. In February, I was heard nationally and internationally via the long running Coast to Coast AM radio program. In March, I released the favorably received EP Candy Coated Cereal and Cigarettes. In April, I performed in front of one of my largest audiences ever when I played the entrance music for the Mustache World Order at Remix Pro Wrestling's' Throwdown for the Pound 19: the Vision (an in depth blog on that to come in the future). Of course, in June, despite the vocal critics, I had my best Jazz performance ever which in an almost Ziggy Stardust like manor would abruptly become my final Jazz performance for the foreseeable future.
Now I want to discuss what comes next. Immediately following the release of Indie Rockamaninoff, I began the recording of another album. This new album continues the theme of concept album but rather then Indie Rockmaninoff's artisanal audio experience this new album follows the more liner rock opera idiom (The story elements to be further shared with you in future blogs). This new album is rooted in my long-standing admiration of Lou Reed and particularly the Velvet Underground's Loaded as well as the more eclectic sounds of R.E.M.'s Green and Monster. This new album is loaded with hits. This album is titled Counter Culture Caliphate.
Please prepare yourself and others to hear more about the thrilling Rock and Roll tale of American MK Ultra brainwashing programming as told through the voice of fuzzed out Vox amps, dirty eclectic harmonica, humbucker Telecasters and P-90 Les Pauls. To initiate the upcoming Counter Culture Caliphate programming please enjoy this early sample, Cheer Up Shelly.

A: Just for fun solution with PSTricks.
\psellipticarc
\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone}

\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid,dimen=monkey](8,6)
    \psellipse[linestyle=dashed](4,3)(3,2)
    \psellipticarc[linecolor=red,linewidth=3pt](4,3)(3,2){90}{180}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

\psparametricplot
\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid,dimen=monkey](8,6)
    \psellipse[linestyle=dashed](4,3)(3,2)
    \psparametricplot[algebraic,linecolor=red,linewidth=2pt]{Pi 2 div}{Pi}{3*cos(t)+4|2*sin(t)+3}

A: Next time, please remember to provide a Minimum (non-)Working Example.
In this case, just draw it as an arc:
\documentclass[tikz, border=10pt]{standalone}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw  (0,0) arc (-180:-270:8 and 4);
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


During World War II, the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) trained 6,000 soldiers—mostly Japanese Americans (second generation – "Nisei")—in the Japanese language to support the war effort with translation, interpretation and interrogation. The MIS language school (MISLS) came to Camp Savage, Minnesota, in 1942 and then moved in 1944 to Fort Snelling, both in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. It was originally established in 1941 at the Presidio in San Francisco and moved back to the Presidio in 1946. The MIS played a critical role in the American victory over Japan in the Pacific and is credited with shortening the war by two years, saving many lives and great expense. This 72-page curriculum and resource guide is intended for Grade 6, however, the authors suggest it can be adapted for Minnesota History and/or WWII History.
This resource aims to help students build awareness of the MISLS in Minnesota, understand experiences of MIS soldiers, and understand the role MIS played during World War II. It contains a historical timeline, background information (including chapter 3, "America's Secret Warriors" from The Nisei Soldier , 2nd ed. By E.M. Nakasone, J-Press, White Bear Lake, Minn., 1999, pages 54-71), worksheets and answer keys, biographies of nine MIS veterans, maps, and an annotated bibliography. The learning activities not only provide historical background including the opportunity to learn about the lives of MIS soldiers, but also exposes students to reading and writing in Japanese.
Connection to updated standards – Minnesota Department of Education's Academic Standards in History and Social Studies implemented in 2013-14.
Narrowed intended grade level focus to 6th grade from 4th-8th grade.
Addition of the Roy H. Matsumoto biography.
Activity Card #3 - worksheets on reading words in Japanese borrowed from English focus on sports, eating, places, and a matching exercise. The previous edition focused on reading and writing names.
Activity Card #5 – fewer "Challenge" sites to map.
Changes in the bibliography listings.
