A double-digit decline this year makes these high-yielding stocks look attractive for income seekers.
This year has been a pretty good one for energy stocks. Thanks to improving oil prices, the average energy stock as measured by the Vanguard Energy ETF (NYSEMKT: VDE) -- which holds more than 140 energy stocks -- is up about 6% for the year, outpacing the 4% gain for the S&P 500.
However, not all energy stocks have enjoyed an up year. Two of those laggards are TransCanada (NYSE:TRP) and Williams Companies (NYSE:WMB), which have both sold off by double digits. Those declines have pushed their dividend yields above 5%, making them great options for income-focused investors to consider buying.
Despite getting off to a great start in 2018, shares of Williams Companies are down 10%. That sell-off doesn't make sense given Williams' improving financial profile and the growth it has coming down the pipeline.
Williams currently expects to generate enough cash flow to cover its 5%-yielding dividend by a comfortable 1.6 times this year. That will provide the company with excess cash that it can use, along with its balance sheet, to invest in high-return growth projects that it currently has under construction. Those expansions position the company to boost its dividend another 10% to 15% in 2019. Meanwhile, at the same time Williams expects to grow the dividend, the company also sees its leverage ratio falling from 5.0 times to less than 4.75 next year.
That trend of a steadily rising dividend and further balance sheet improvement should continue in the coming years thanks to the expansion projects the company has in development. Williams has already identified more than $20 billion of expansion opportunities, including $5 billion of projects that it's close to sanctioning. That makes the company's future look bright, which is why this dividend stock seems like a great one for the long term.
TransCanada's stock is down about 14% for the year even though the company reported solid first-quarter results. That sell-off is a head-scratcher because like Williams, TransCanada has lots of growth up ahead.
The Canadian pipeline giant currently has 21 billion Canadian dollars ($16 billion) of expansion projects underway, which positions it to grow earnings at an 8% to 10% pace through 2021. Because of that, TransCanada believes it can increase its 5.2%-yielding dividend toward the upper end of an 8% to 10% annual rate through 2020 and by another 8% to 10% in 2021.
In the meantime, TransCanada has another CA$20 billion ($15.3 billion) of longer-term projects under development. Two large ones are close to coming to fruition: the $8 billion Keystone XL pipeline and the CA$4.8 billion ($3.7 billion) Coastal GasLink pipeline, which could both start construction next year. Given their size, these projects have the potential to move the needle for TransCanada. Add in the fact that TransCanada has one of the stronger financial profiles in the pipeline sector -- including a well-covered dividend -- and the company appears poised to increase its payout at a close to double-digit pace for the next several years.
Both TransCanada and Williams are on pace to grow their cash flow and dividends at a healthy pace in the coming years. Despite that fact, both stocks have sold off this year, which has pushed their dividend yields to an attractive level. That gives investors the opportunity to lock in what looks like an excellent income stream both now and in the future, which is why they look like great stocks to buy.

View Full Version : Best pub in Ludlow?
I am off to Ludlow for a few days with Mrs Staal and I wondered which was the best pub in Ludlow for ale and food?
Haven't been to Ludlow for a while, but this one is good The Church Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/32063/) They also do food.


I met A for lunch the other day and we decided to go for burgers at Ruby's Diner. It's one of those throwback 40's style diner spots, with burgers and fries, fountain drinks, shakes, etc. The servers wear cheesy little red and white outfits with funny hats. Everything is in red and white and at the one in K of P, there's a miniature train set that rolls around and a big motorcycle in the middle of the restaurant. Totally strange, I know.
I got a bacon cheeseburger with fries. All burgers come with lettuce, tomato, and ruby's sauce. Ruby's sauce is mayo with thousand island dressing… I asked for it on the side, as I am a simple ketchup girl. Their burgers are big and flat. The meat is a thin patty. A kept saying their burgers were flat and I was confused by what she meant, but when I got my burger, I totally understood. The bun is big, sesame seeded, and lightly toasted. The fries are plain and shoestringed, a la McDonald's, and really, I dug these a lot. They were crisp and not greasy at all, just the way I like them. All in all, a good burger! Even though it's a thin burger, it's big (or wide at least) and greasy. Even with the paper it comes wrapped in, you'll be using tons of napkins and stuff will be falling all out of it. It was actually such a big burger, I didn't quite finish it, and that rarely happens!

High Street has helped Maryland DOT's State Highway Administration (SHA) prepare for and implement federal transportation performance management requirements. Our work included analysis of rule language, creation of a 'road map' to guide critical activities, coordination of internal staff responsibilities, assistance with data handling, aid in coordination with Maryland's MPOs, many of which cross state boundaries and production of brochures, newsletters, and website content to assist in information sharing. High Street also provided data analytics assistance for use of congestion data (NPMRDS) in setting baseline measures and targets for federal travel reliability measures.
This guidebook and a companion digital performance benchmarking platform prepared by High Street for NCHRP show transportation practitioners how to use benchmarking to help continuously improve their agencies by comparing performance outcomes among peers via compatible measures and data as part of a wider organizational culture that embraces performance management. Benchmarking gives valuable context to individual agency performance results. Done right, it reveals noteworthy improvement opportunities and motivates group-wide advances in performance. A web tool companion to the guidebook helps agencies find appropriate peers, compare performance across selected measures, and most importantly, connect with other practitioners to share what works for improvement.
High Street assisted ALDOT with calculation, target setting, and reporting for the state's FAST Act highway system performance measures. Our work included writing and implementing processing scripts and statistical methods to calculate ALDOT's performance measures (combing five data sources and 100m+ rows of travel time data), and pioneering a new methodology for forecasting future performance based on planned capital program investments.
High Street developed three guidebooks for state DOTs and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) that support implementation of transportation performance management. The guidebooks are bridge for helping states and MPOs understand FHWA's 2017 rule language on pavement and bridge condition measures; and for system performance, freight movement and air quality (CMAQ) measures with established state and MPO-led performance management, long-range planning, and programming practices. They provide a mix of practical insights, best practices, tips and case studies.
The High Street team gathered nearly 200 environmentally focused measures after extensive research and discussions with transportation practitioners. All measures were evaluated against a set of six criteria to identify those with the most promise. The measures spanned five major focus areas that included Air quality, Energy and climate, Materials recycling, Stormwater, Wildlife and ecosystems.
Each of the report's recommended measures was tested with real data from state DOTs across the country, and further evaluated against four additional criteria. The result is a suite of core environmental performance measures designed to help state DOTs better understand and communicate the impacts of transportation on the environment.
High Street helped Missouri DOT and its freight stakeholders tell fresh, interesting, and data driven stories about the how the economic viability of several Missouri-based industries – from agriculture to manufacturing – depend directly on transportation. Please click on the image to read about the results of our work.
High Street conducted a full economic assessment for each of FHWA's three separate performance measure rules that analyzes the potential costs and benefits of the rule.
High Street developed written materials, data analysis, summaries, fact-sheets, and graphics all designed to streamline performance reporting at FDOT by using cleaner, simpler words and charts to convey critical messages buried in data.
As part of the preparations for the round table, High Street developed a read-ahead white paper that defined the steps of performance-based planning and programming and presented a straw man approach for how FHWA and FTA would need to change their roles and policies with respect to each step. High Street also facilitated several elements of the round table discussion and supported the development of a round table proceedings document.
High Street compared the performance of 39 state DOTs in delivering transportation construction projects within their originally anticipated cost and schedule. The study examines each state's performance track record for all projects finished over a period from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2010. Typical projects included in the analysis span the full range of a DOT's activities including operations work, such as installation of ITS devices or traffic signals; maintenance activities, such as guard rail installation or striping; pavement preservation work, such as resurfacing; bridge preservation work, such as deck replacement; and capacity additions. A major work product of the study is a user-friendly web database that participating states can use to review their results.
High Street recently completed the Arkansas LRITP, which is the state's first performance-based long range plan. Performance-based planning will help the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT) as it evaluates and prioritizes projects and programs, and develops performance reports to track progress.
The LRITP is a comprehensive document that details goals, objectives, policies, investment strategies, and performance measures which will guide future transportation investments to move Arkansas forward. It examines all aspects of the state's multimodal transportation system, including highways, bridges, public transportation, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, ports, waterways, and aviation.
The LRITP identifies and explores the potential outcomes of four alternative future scenarios. The four alternative future scenarios reflect different priorities, expected outcomes, and investment levels based on the 25-year baseline revenue forecast. Four alternative future scenarios were selected to understand the trade-offs, consequences, and outcomes of potential planning scenarios representing changes in travel and investment decisions. Comparison of these alternative future scenarios helps the Department better prepare to meet the strategic goals of stewardship, quality of life, and economic development.
The final outcome of the LRITP is a plan and process that will provide the framework for ArDOT to move forward in concert with the Department's Strategic Plan to set priorities through a performance-based, data-driven decision making process.
High Street recently completed the 2040 Arizona Long Range Transportation Plan named What Moves You Arizona (WMYA). Development of the plan included research on trends and issues affecting transportation in Arizona, refinement of Arizona's transportation vision and goals, an assessment of current state highway system (SHS) conditions, quantification of 25-year investment needs to maintain and improve the SHS and provide state support for non-highway modes, and a forecast of expected revenues over the planning horizon. The planning process also included an extensive engagement process that provided Arizona residents and transportation stakeholders across the state multiple opportunities to offer input into development of the plan. Most importantly, the plan provides a Recommended Investment Choice (RIC) that defines how the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will strive to allocate its limited resources to different types of highway investments.
ADOT sought to expand the consideration of anticipated system performance in the development of WMYA 2040 policies and to involve stakeholders in the analysis of investment trade-offs. To do so, High Street conducted a technical workshop in that used a cutting edge software application called Decision Lens to facilitate a discussion about what the WMYA 2040 RIC should look like. The findings from the workshop influenced the development of a draft investment strategy, based on insights from a diverse body of transportation agency experts. Workshop participants provided an important perspective on how ADOT should allocate its resources among the investment categories of preservation, modernization and expansion. The plan is intended to drive future refinements to ADOT's performance-based project selection processes and inform decisions about state highway investment levels associated with system preservation, modernization and expansion.
High Street led the technical tasks associated with updating Missouri Long Range Transportation Plan. The 2018 LRTP update is different from past LRTPs in three important ways. First, it utilized online public outreach methods to gather input. This approach was a cost-effective and generated significant feedback. Secondly, it confirmed the accuracy of previous goals and added a new goal. Finally, the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) convened a statewide conversation on the impact of future technology and what it might mean for important factors like safety and infrastructure investments.
MoDOT has a long history of involving citizens in making decisions about the state's transportation system. This public outreach process involves citizens from start to finish and the approach has earned MoDOT recognition as a national leader in public involvement and several industry awards. During the development of the 2018 LRTP, 7,700 Missourians and transportation planning partners across the state, provided input which will inform future transportation decisions.
High Street helped Maryland DOT and their stakeholders - from the Eastern Shore to Baltimore and through to the Western Appalachians - create a forward thinking 20-year transportation plan that will help guide the state's transportation executives manage the opportunities and threats of a changing world.

To gain a clear understanding of how to integrate performance measures into the ODOT's structure and process, High Street interviewed key ODOT staff in the core disciplines of safety, infrastructure, system operations, environment, modal planning, and asset management, and we reviewed and assessed relevant data sources to assess quantitative gaps. Based on this coordination, we focused our attention on measure definitions, methodologies, potential targets, applications, and data sources and aligned the measures with the 2040 LRTP goals and objectives to ensure consistency with MAP-21 and Oklahoma's values.
High Street supported a stakeholder-driven process to evaluate the current status and future needs of all modes of the Kansas transportation system. High Street had an instrumental role in developing a new transportation decision-making process for balancing investment in preservation and capacity needs. High Street staff also led the development of the financial forecast and funding options analysis. In a related effort, High Street provided staff support for the Kansas DOT in preparing a 2008 report to the Governor on critical transportation needs.
The T-LINK report provided input to the Governor and the State Legislature as they debated the focus and scale of the state's transportation program. High Street continues to work on developing analytic tools and decision-making processes for evaluating economic development impacts and community concerns within an expanded project selection process. The process was pilot-tested by KDOT in the fall 2009 and is being used to evaluate about 200 potential projects annually in the development of annual transportation programs.
High Street was part of the team that assisted ODOT in developing performance measures, needs forecasts, and revenue scenarios as part of the development of Access Ohio 2040. The firm also developed and evaluated investment scenarios and innovative finance strategies to support plan finalization.
High Street also supported a related initiative to update the scoring system used for prioritizing major projects over $12 million. The project teams' recommended changes enabled Ohio's Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC) to better account for local economic development initiatives, investment in complementary programs, and equitable treatment of distressed areas in the project selection process. The project included national best practice research on state DOT programming processes and creation of new ways to develop and apply technical travel model and transportation performance measures within the context of an economically meaningful prioritization approach.
High Street played a key support role in the development of What Moves You Arizona, a 25-year statewide multimodal transportation plan for Arizona. The project included visioning, creation of a planning framework and process, revenue forecasts, needs determinations, scenario-building, and identification of alternative investment choices. It had a heavy performance measures component, which will help drive ADOT's capital programming process and will be a key consideration in this project. High Street led the creation of goals, objectives, and performance measures to both drive plan development and support its implementation. The firm also conducted a diagnostic review of ADOT's current programming processes, provided recommendations on to better link planning and programming, and supported development of both investment scenarios and financial forecasts.
High Street provided ten-year forecasts for the state-of-repair for assets in Dominica including pavement, bridge, culverts, earthworks, and road furniture. An app was created that displays future asset conditions. The app allows users to determine the total budget and the budget for each asset type. Results are updated based on budget.
High Street used data to find over $50 million in cost savings for Oklahoma DOT (ODOT) by identifying projects with low performance impacts due to over-scoping. In the past, ODOT would take departmental project requests and try to divide up the resources with as much equity as possible between the regions. When ODOT's programming team asked High Street to evaluate the underlying data in order to make more informed decisions, the impact of one policy became very clear. What High Street found was that ODOT had a tendency to try and update one major corridor every couple of years. But in so doing, they were reconstructing several miles of pavement that were still in a good state-of-repair. While it was simpler to manager corridors in this way, what they decided to do was to re-scope the project to only fix the problematic areas and use those additional resources to fund other areas of deficiency.
Comparative benchmarking is a powerful performance management strategy, but requires both effective processes and tools. To equip NCHRP research users with a great benchmarking tool, High Street created the TPM Benchmarking Portal. The web-based tool provides a robust platform for state DOTs to perform benchmarking, including functionality to quickly and easily define meaningful peer groups, compare performance, and share insights and noteworthy practices. The platform includes a complete administrative back-end, allowing the non-technical platform administrator to create new measures, manage permissions, and maintain benchmarking data. Explore for yourself at [http://benchmarking.tpm-portal.com].
Under this groundbreaking initiative, High Street is helping Nebraska DOT meet pressing operational challenges by marrying Nebraska DOT's data with advanced statistical, machine learning, and visualization techniques. Through this engagement, High Street has helped NDOT measure the effectiveness of its materials testing and contractor incentives policies; design lettings that attract more bidders; and better understand the complex relationships between traffic volumes, design standards, and pavement deterioration rates—all through agile, iterative, and highly cost-effective tasks.
Tasked with developing performance targets for new federal performance measures with limited historical data, MDOT SHA turned to High Street for support. Through an active collaboration, High Street developed and implemented a segment-level reliability forecasting model to forecast future performance with respect to Maryland's expected growth in traffic volumes and programmed capacity and ITS improvements. The resulting forecasts provided a basis for MDOT SHA's PM3 performance targets, while simultaneously demonstrating the performance impacts of MDOT SHA's investment program. The methodology provides both a forecasting tool, and a tool for evaluating project-level performance impacts.
High Street served as external management and policy advisors to the MDT director and deputy director. Activities included interviews with MDT senior staff to identify strategic, organizational, and administrative issues, planning/facilitating annual leadership team and bureau chief retreats, facilitating the development of unit business plans, and research on various management topics such and enterprise risk management and DOT administrative budgeting practices.
High Street's report for NCHRP on alternative organizational models for state DOTs provided a big picture snapshot of why and how DOT leaders are re-designing their organizations. It includes a discussion of the primary drivers of these changes, characterizes the current state of DOT organizational design, describes the prominent organizational adaptations DOTs are making or plan to make, presents a new organizational ideal for DOTs, and offers observations about key success factors for initiating meaningful organizational change.
High Street provided support to the Northeast Corridor Commission (NEC) executive committee and agency senior staff to help them identify and address organizational, institutional, and procedural issues that create barriers to greater NEC success and productivity. The effort has included developing a diagnostic review of current organization business processes and facilitating a series of retreats to revamp several key agency decision-making approaches.
High Street helped support the Governor appointed Commission on the Future of Transportation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to develop recommendations on transportation policy across the state in response to disruptive changes like electrification, an aging population, and autonomous vehicles. The consultant team used information about key 'driving forces' as building blocks for a set of distinct stories that distill voluminous data into a digestible set of plausible directions the future might take.
High Street conducts financial capacity assessments on FTA Capital Investment Grant (New Starts, Small Starts, Core Capacity) projects including the evaluation and rating of the project against the grant program's financial criteria. Through review of the applicant's financial plan and models for the proposed project, system operating and capital budgets, annual financial reports, and other documents, High Street analyzes the ability of the applicant to deliver its non-federal share of funding, operate and maintain its core transit services, and complete project construction by the revenue operations date, including cash flow and timing of receipt of funds. Projects for which High Street has completed assessments include Orlando SunRail, Boston MBTA Green Line Extension, San Diego MidCoast Corridor, Fort Worth TEX Rail, Arlington Columbia Pike Street Car, Santa Ana OCTA Streetcar, Chicago CTA Red Purple Line Modernization, Durham and Orange Counties GoTriangle Light Rail Transit, and Indianapolis Bus Rapid Transit.
High Street played an integral role in the development of TRB's NCHRP Research Report 873: Guidebook to Funding Transportation Through Land Value Return and Recycling. The Guidebook presents guidance on ways to mobilize some portion of property-value increases to fund maintenance and operations as well as investment in the infrastructure. Local government typically has authority to deal with matters related to land use and land-related revenue-generating mechanisms, therefore access to land value return and recycling—a subset of real estate–based value capture methods—may require enabling legislation or partnering with local agencies. This report includes examples of applications of land value return and recycling as well as model legislation and institutional structures to facilitate the strategy.
High Street develops long-range revenue forecasts for the state DOTs and MPOs which include all sources of transportation revenue and take into account projected changes in demographics, driving behavior, vehicle mix, and fuel efficiency standards and region-specific factors. The forecasts evaluate scenarios of existing revenue sources as well as potential new or increased revenue sources and other funding options. Each client's preferred use and approach to debt financing also is factored in to analysis of the available resources for transportation investment.
•	Development and application of performance management practices in the sector.
High Street supported the Director's Office Business Plan for Montana DOT, which included facilitation for the office's vision, goals and strategies. High Street helped maintain continuity between the Office Business Plan and MDT's 20-Year Plan, Financial Status Reports, and their Agency-wide IT plan.
High Street interviewed industry leaders in innovation and synthesize their finding in an online report, NCHRP 20-108 Effective Practices for Creating and Maintaining an Innovation-Delivery Culture within Departments of Transportation. The report is a guidebook that features a set of practical tactics that encourage department of transportation employees to remain inspired and empowered to innovate. Included in the guidebook is a self-assessment to help DOTs determine where their agency falls in the continuum of innovation efforts, a getting started guide to help jump start your efforts, and an examination of the five building blocks to build and sustain a culture of innovation.

1. Check my Boglines subscription. This is the very first thing I do every morning after woke up. It gives an update of what's going on around my network and things that I am passionate about.
2. Select every topic I've found it is new or interesting under my referential frame. I think you should have handy something to talk about, not only a link but a referent about a new discovery and most important if this is a topic which you are or you were looking out long time ago.
3. Synthesize involving those topics and ideas . This is the hardest part to me. It is quite easy to link out from a source but to find the right topic which synthesize all what will be included in the post is a hard work. I used to select something relevant out of all sources and a few times I copy the same topic as it is proposed in the source. Sorry about that!
4. Educational issues not only for teachers but parents. Being an educator, I really love to read and reproduce information about what's going on in the educational spectrum. Sometimes I have to offer some kind of deli in order to let you entertain with a post, in other words, I can go from politics to .NET development.
5. Technology and Socialnetworking. Yes, a part of being very passionate about education, as Wesley says, when you find something that is cool and fun, I think you have an obligation to share it! And precisely what I try to do I am very into web developing, new applications, the power of social networks and gadgetry.
I would love to pass it on not only to my friends but to anyone who finds it cool and interesting. I am not against the "The five things you didn't know about me" but I strongly believe this one is much better. If you want to put it in Technorati then follow Brian's suggestion. Try howdoyouwrite. Remember everything is about socialnetworks and not only teenagers but adults as you and me.
I pass the baton to: Avatar, Silvia Porras, Protesto, Martha Isabel, Fernado Doylet, El Oso, Carmen Gonzalez; and, BaBalingus.
Thanks for taking up the challenge and posting on how/why you go about blogging. I am finding that the more posts I read responding to this question, that there are common elements we all share concerning our processes.
Thanks to dropping by and keep monitoring your link out. I guess we can share some commmon elements but every one has particular procedures and that's precuisely what makes the meme so important!

Thankful to be Thankful
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we're all looking for a strong set of songs to soundtrack our day-of cooking, refreshing family time, and to segue into that sweet, sweet post-stuffing nap.
Thankfully, Les Filles is here to take care of your Turkey Day tunes.

The all-female DJ collective is all about representation and diversification, and their playlist holds up to the same philosophy. office asked members Brianna, Blu, Alix, and Bec to break down their song choices and to share their most beloved Thanksgiving memories.
Press play below, and read on to meet some of the girls of Les Filles.
What are you most thankful for this year?
Brianna—I make sure to run down a list of gratitude every night, so the list is too long. I guess I'm most grateful for having a voice, and being free to speak.
Blu—I'm thankful for my music and the ability to perform as much as I do. Every time I get to play music is a blessing!
Favorite Thanksgiving activity?
Brianna—Hugging.
Blu—Beating my brothers in backgammon.
Tell me about your choices for this playlist.
Brianna—They don't really have anything to do with Thanksgiving actually. They just all have this blissed and relaxed feel that reminds me of being with people you love.
Blu—"Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" is a classic funk jam that features one of my favorite bass lines ever. Larry Graham's genius call-and-response riff popularized his slap technique, inspiring a generation of funk. The lyrics are perfect for Thanksgiving, and I always like to say I'm thankful for this song for introducing the style of bass playing that I use!
Alix—That America hasn't been blown up yet.
Bec—I'm thankful for the girls for joining me to create Les Filles. It's becoming just like a family of sisters, which is sacred in New York for someone like me who lives so far from home.
Alix—Eating. Drinking. Sleeping.
Bec—Making mulled wine and getting my friends really drunk from it.
Alix—"Pass The Peas" by The J.B.'s is a funky, pre-dinner groove that will get you cooking for sure.
Bec—The songs I chose are all about some different facets of love, which I think this holiday is all about.

Take a fucking sip, babes, of Alice Longyu Gao's fresh video drop for the latest single, "Rich Bitch Juice," from the Chinese-born, New York-based artist. office can guarantee you'll come away from the video thirsty for more, so it's a good thing Gao just dropped the evil twin sister single "Dumb Bitch Juice," a song that hinges on Gao's electrifying refrain, "honey, what is wrong with you?"
Like the Rich Bitch Juice she describes as champagne with lime, Gao has a sparkling, bubbly personality and a love for pop. Even with her heart shaped face, rose red cheeks and cherubic outfit—she's covered in baubles and tulle, a custom outfit made by a friend—Gao's been accused of sporting a resting bitch face, which she says is just from being "fucking tired, EXHAUSTED," as the "Rich Bitch Juice" lyrics go.
Interview by Savannah Whitmer
The latest singles, produced by Dylan Brady of 100 Gecs, are total art pop anthems, as mesmerizing and juicy as Gao's whole oeuvre. office sat down with Gao ahead of her recent East Village show with Cashmere Cat to hear about the rise of the Rich Bitch herself.
You're a multi-hyphenate: Chinese-born, New York-based DJ, singer, and artist.
Well, yeah, I used to make sculptures and art installations, and I played piano since I was four. I tried to go take a serious, musical college path, but I didn't succeed. So then I went to a quote-on-quote "normal" college in Boston. I studied philosophy, communications, did some theatre arts, because I could use those for my credits, religion, and then after I moved to New York I started doing music as a way of living.
Do you like performing?
Yeah, I do. I started out by DJing. People always need DJs, but they probably don't need someone to sing for 30 minutes. Now I have my original songs, so I sing. I just love all types of things I could do to express myself.
I think my music is best when you see it live. I like to do a lot of stand up comedy, and I joke a lot, so it's fun to watch. My music taste—it's quite special, and I hope people fuck with it.
How does it feel now that you get to sing your own songs?
I don't know how to put this, but I guess in New York especially, everyone is trying to look like someone. So there's a lot of bullshit in music. I should put it this way, actually: I just feel like it was time for me to have my own original music, because I'm more than playing other peoples' music. It was hard for me to distinguish myself from other DJ bitches. The competition is very hard.
Your music is super unique, though. It's ethereal, kind of Grimes-y.
Yeah, I love Grimes, I adore her, I think she's brilliant as an artist. She has a real vision. I think at the end of the day, my music is a lot about the message. I guess it's related to what I studied in college, which was philosophy. Now I put that philosophy in my music.
What's your message?
Well, take "Rich Bitch Juice." At the end of the day, I feel like I'm always chasing something. I live in New York, and I would say that's my home, but I also live in LA now. But living in New York, especially doing what I do, is very stressful, because it's not like you do this one thing and you get money five days per week, you know? So obviously, you get higher goals, higher and higher, but at the end of the day you just feel so empty. If I don't think about the chase, what else can make me happy? That's why, you know, I'm exhausted.
I love that lyric.
Yeah. I guess because my face structure—I love my mouth, because when I was younger, people would always say I have a beautiful mouth shape, but somehow if I don't do anything with it I look super upset.
Resting bitch face!
Literally! That's why homeless people on New York streets will stop me and tell me to smile. Don't tell me that. I'm crying, I'm happy, I'm both, on the inside.
Your new video is sick. If we saw your YouTube history, what would it look like?
Oh, there's a lot of Nigella Lawson, the sexual cooking queen from England. I love that. And I love this YouTuber Nina Montagne, I just love watching her videos because I think she just brings me peace. I watch her vlogs to make me fall asleep.
Obviously I watch a lot of music videos. I've been watching a lot of Cashmere Cat, who I'm opening for tonight. I've been watching his live set and all the other song he did for Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, The Weeknd, everyone. It's just a lot of music, cooking, or vlogs that put me to sleep.
If you had to choose your favorite Rich Bitch in the world, anyone alive or dead, who would it be?
Mara Hoffman owns a lot of museums in France and here in New York, and I love museums. That's one of my favorite things to do is to go to museums. I would love to own them like that.

"I speak to myself. I have my own mind. Nobody can manipulate me. Nobody can tell me what I need to do, or what I don't need to do. I know what I need to do, I'm not stupid." - Young M.A (Me Always)
On my way to the photoshoot to meet Young M.A, her song "BIG" was the last song that played before I exited the car. I laughed to myself and took that as a good omen.

How many times have you come face to face with someone you have always admired only to experience disappointment? Add a touch of celebrity to the mix, and the consensus is stars are often far duller than their dazzling online, onscreen, or onair personas suggest. Born Katorah Marrero in Brooklyn, New York, Young M.A is in opposition to "Hollywood" types by being wildly unique, free from gimmicks and forced relationships in order to climb social ladders. She has no interest in riding each new trend to "stay ahead." No. Young M.A tossed the antiquated music biz shticks in a bin, doused them with gasoline, and currently stands tall holding a book of matches—readying for the blaze. Fraudulent fuckers beware.
Jacket and pants by ICEBERG, shoes by TIMBERLAND
Young M.A has made quite a name for herself with the first single, "OOOUUU" going triple-platinum. She recently landed a guest spot on Sam Esmail's Emmy award-winning series, Mr. Robot. And with the recent release of her album, Herstory in the Making, she shows no signs of letting up. Young M.A has enough charm, swagger, and talent to win over the toughest of critiques. She is in a lane built solely for her. Fuse all that with the innate aptitude to build an empire, and you have a recipe for success. Frankly, Young M.A.'s only real opponent is the woman in the mirror.
And it's clear she knows her worth.
In "No Mercy," the intro to her latest album she raps, "Competition lookin' for me. I was waitin' at the top. But ain't no competition. Ain't no one in my position." The 40 million YouTube views on her single "BIG" are a testament that fans have been eager for new music.
So why the two-year gap between albums? From a consumer's point of view, the wait can seem harshly personal. But Young M.A believes, "Your vision and passions are the two main things you gotta lock-in. I definitely care about how much time is in between projects. I have people out here supporting me. But at the same time, I have to remember that at the end of the day, it's me being creative. Now I'm not making music for only me, I'm making music for others, and that kind of changes the creative zone." Piquant points.
As Young M.A steps in front of even bigger screens, all eyes on her. She landed a major cameo on season four of Mr. Robot. "Music is my first love, but I'm the type of person who likes to try new things. I'm not a routine person. I like challenges, so I've been into acting. Just being on set with the actors taught me so much. That was my first time acting and dealing with casting, a director, or anything like that. My character's name is Peanuts [We both laugh]. It was fun and interesting, and I was grateful for being on set." She also taught writer, producer, director, Sam Esmail how to dap.

Prior to the limelight and custom-made diamond grills, Young M.A had been honing her hustle, proving to herself that she could play and win with whatever cards were dealt. Those cards were messed up. As if high school wasn't tough enough, Young M.A was hit with some heavy life changes. Just before starting her senior year, her brother, Kenneth was tragically killed. She speaks his name often to keep his memory alive. She gets still and recalls. "My senior year was a disaster. I had to catch up on top of dealing with death and being in a new school. It was a challenge, but it was something I knew I had to accomplish. There were plenty of times I felt like giving up, but I knew I couldn't. And on top of that, I was figuring out my sexuality."
Her pain and subsequent triumphs are felt—not only through the way she carries herself, but also in her lyrics as she paints pictures. And with catchy lyrics like, "Yeah I'm Young M.A., but she call me papi," I think it's safe to say she's figured things out.

Young M.A is relatable, talented, and genuine. The importance of moral codes that uphold honor and integrity is not lost on the 27-year-old. It's in her DNA. Her foundation was solid long before she stepped on the rap scene. "My mom was a hustler, and she made it happen. Just watching her as a kid, seeing her handle her business taught me so much on what I needed to do. When we lost my brother, I knew I had to take the lead and take charge. My mom had to work since my brother passed away, so I got a job as soon as I graduated high school. I constantly worked until I became who I am today."
Young M.A also took notes from industry pioneers—50 Cent and Jay-Z. "Music-wise, I listened to so many artists. I studied the game. Musically, 50 Cent is one of my biggest influences. Jay-Z inspires me by his mental; how smart he is and being from Brooklyn. His change from being this rapper into being a businessman. To this day, Jay-Z inspires me the most. And it put me in a position to understand not what I want to do, but what I need to do."

Before Young M.A and I got into the conversation about drug abuse and the impact on young people, namely artists who've passed away too soon, the noise level in the studio began to rise. Young M.A had no problem silencing the room: "Yerrr! Can y'all keep it down, please." As she turned back to me, I could hear the sincerity in her voice, "This is really serious. This is something I want to be heard." With the passing of rapper Juice WRLD still weighing heavy on my heart, I too am searching for clarity. Young M.A adjusts the volume in her voice to explain her viewpoint:
"I just want kids to understand. They hear certain things in music like, 'I took this drug to get over this,' and kids will believe it. They'll go through one heartbreak and feel like they gotta take a drug then become addicted. And I think people don't speak on that part. That's literally the root. Let's start from where it begins, instead of saying where it ended. I just think kids are not understanding that life is gonna be what life is. It's not perfect; it's not gonna be easy. And I think we're being taught that certain things are supposed to be a certain way, and if it's not, then we're supposed to numb the pain with drugs. I just want the youth to understand there's no excuse. Even if you've been through the worst of the worst, drugs are not the way at all. You're gonna go through heartbreaks, you're gonna go through parents telling you what you don't need to be doing, you might feel like running away sometimes. I feel like this younger generation is a little more vulnerable. I definitely feel artists have a responsibility and play a part in what's going on. Where else are they getting it from?"
A rhetorical question in need of an answer. I will do my part and keep the conversations on this subject going.
As my time with Young M.A neared its end, I felt as though I had known her for years. I was happy to have shared that time with her. As a bonus, I was not in the least bit disappointed!
I got in the car, plugged in my earphones, and hit play on Herstory in the Making. Young M.A—a true mensch indeed.

Odds are you already know Bambii. And if you don't, you're probably familiar with the effects of her genre-bending club music, or her highly celebrated JERK parties. No matter what she's working with, Bambii brings a unique fushion to everything she creates while also actively speaking out and creating spaces for queer POC youth.
We got the chance to speak with the Canadian DJ and producer fresh off of her recent trip to Jamaica where she was inspired to create an mix called "FUTURA" exclusively for office. The artist explains, "this mix reflects back to me an idea of a borderless and defiant future"—we're about it. Hit play and read the rest of the interview below.

Tell us a little bit more about the name Bambii.
So Bambii is a nickname my mom used to call me when I was ten, and it sort of just stuck. I remember as a kid, I always wanted an alias. I would try and get people to call me different names while I was in school and Bambii always stuck.
How has your past influenced what you create now?
Well, I grew up in Toronto. Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. My family is Carribean, and I grew up in a very Carribean area, but I was also exposed to a lot of different kinds of people growing up. My mom was an artist as well and a single parent, so I was in a lot of adult spaces. She was always taking me to her rehearsals, to gallery shows, to different openings, and plays—sometimes appropriate, sometimes not so much. I was really in the mix with her. I kind of think all these experiences cumulatively have helped shape who I am.
Where do you see the creative scene in Toronto going?
When I started JERK six years ago, I didn't know anything like it. I didn't see black women in my age group leading the arts and culture spaces in Toronto at the time. I feel like so much has changed. There are so many cool parties run by all these amazing black women and collectives here. I used to feel very jaded and bored of Toronto but I do think that there are people here doing things that I find exciting and important—I just didn't feel like that a few years ago. I think one thing that's annoying about Toronto is that I don't think Toronto has the infrastructure to properly support the art scene here, but I will say there are people pushing back against that and doing cool shit, so it makes me optimistic. Also, I've realized that underground doesn't exist without tension, or this feeling of being repressed. It's kind of like the whole point of it.
You have a very close relationship with your mother. How has your relationship with her influenced your career?
Well, I think the arts are still uncertain, especially while being a freelancer. In that sense, my mom definitely makes me feel like it's still legitimate work. I feel like when you work in the arts you always have to prove to your parents that it's a "real job". She actually understands that I'm doing something legitimate and important and she treats it that way—that really helps me. I don't have a boss, I don't have someone telling me what to do. You create the world for yourself and I think that having a parent who gets that has helped make it less stressful.
Can you tell us about your craziest experience as a DJ?
Touring with Mykki Blanco. They just hit me up one day over Snapchat and was like, "do you want to go on a two-month Euro tour with me?" Two weeks later I was in Europe with them. It was very spontaneous, we were playing huge shows and it was my first time touring. Also, we were just touring in such crazy environments. We went to 20 cities and 11 different countries that I can't remember, but it was a really long tour just jet setting around. It changed my life and my whole perspective—it made me a better DJ. You tend to just think small when you only have been in your own city, so it had me thinking about what's possible outside of Toronto.
I've realized that underground doesn't exist without tension, or this feeling of being repressed. It's kinda like the whole point of it.
What's your favorite city you have ever performed?
I really like Lisbon, but obviously my favorite city is Montreal. I have a special relationship with Montreal and with the people there. I think it's such a really strange place. It's this small, diverse Quebec city in Canada. It has such a good DIY underground art scene and has more street festivals than any other city in the world. It's also a very poor city, and in that way, a lot of informal arts and performance-based things can happen compared to a city like Toronto where it's hyper-conservative and there's more money. Toronto is trying to be too cool almost and Montreal is like the hippie sister that knows how to have real fun.
How hands-on were you in making your first music video for "Nitevision"?
I was really hands-on actually. As I was making that song, I could see exactly how I wanted that music video to look. The music video is very important to me because that video is not just random casting. All the people in that video are apart of my community, either my friends or people who have been in the scene for years now. It was really important for me to have a very sincere and real portrayal of them because I don't think that's a side of Toronto that people see in the media a lot. I feel as though Toronto is really defined by OVO and XO, when in reality there is a very large Carribean queer population that kinda leads the city and leads the energy at parties and influences the music—nobody really knows about that.
You just got back from Jamaica. Can you tell us a little about your time there?
I had an incredible time. I felt so grateful there I don't even know how to describe it. Every moment from when I woke up and to when I went to bed, no matter how big or small, I just felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. I was on my own. I wasn't at a hotel or a resort and I realized I had never really been to Jamaica properly before. It felt more like I was experiencing real life there, which was really important. I think that people go to these places and stay at resorts that are trying to serve up this manufactured spaces where you're not actually there, and they try to tell you not to leave the resort because it's dangerous when that's not actually the case at all. It can be scary traveling as a woman by yourself, but it was also important for me to reclaim that. I remember feeling a little anxious before I was going because it wasn't for a DJ gig. Also, obviously I'm Jamaican, so it was important for me on a spiritual level to go there. It's such a tiny pace, but it's so globally influential and there's so much talent there! I was going to shows there and different club nights. The local talent I saw just blew me away. I think the music is so embedded in the culture, and the relationship people have to their surroundings and to nature—it just felt so real.
Besides music, what other aspects of Jamaica inspire you?
Not to get into a hotep mode, but what was inspiring was people's relationship with nature. When you live in a city you're so disconnected from animals and things that grow. In Jamaica, it's just something you can't escape. You can't escape how hot it is, you can't escape bugs. It's something that made me feel better.
We saw you walk for Nosesso last NYFW. How was the experience of walking in your first ever fashion show? Do you intend to pursue more modeling in your career?
I don't intend to pursue modeling ever again. I love Nosesso and I think that the brand is so sick. I was so honored that they asked me. I think fashion can be so vacuous and problematic, but I think that's a really important brand and I love to support them. However, I also think it's so funny because I can DJ in front of a thousand people at a festival no problem, but walking in that show... even thinking about it now makes the hairs on my arms raise. My friend that watched me was like, "you were walking so fast", I was literally asking backstage if anyone had vodka or any alcohol because I needed something to get through that. Then when I got out there it was just so bright there were so many lights and everybody is staring at you. I couldn't do it. I think I did good for about twenty seconds, but then I think the crowd could tell that I was nervous and they were trying to encourage me so everyone started to cheer for me and then I ended up running off. That being said, modeling is very fucking hard. I'm too shy in that way to do it. After that experience, I respected models. I almost had an anxiety attack. She's not a runway girl.
How can we better the industry for black women?
A lot of times in the music industry we replace black women with placeholders. I think we need to prioritize black women more, and I mean in a real way. I think that people are comfortable with particular kinds of blackness. There a lot of colorism in the industry and people don't talk about that enough. I see a lot of women adjacent to blackness, but not actually black women, being able to reap the benefits of translating things regarding black womanhood and I think it's problematic. I don't know when that's going to change. Whatever exists in the music industry is a symptom of a larger more insidious issue that controls the entire world. I think that we can suspend ourselves in moments of freedom, or we can correct things and depict ideal futures in art, but I don't think we can change things in the music industry unless we change other institutions first. How can we better the industry for women? How can we better women's lives in general? I don't know if we're asking these questions enough because people aren't having real conversations about everyday things, let alone within the arts. I think listening to actual black women can help.

WEST LAFAYETTE -- Leave it to free-spirited A.J. Hammons to represent the voice of reason after Purdue men's basketball's first scrimmage on Saturday.
The 7-foot junior and his understudy, 7-2 freshman Isaac Haas, stood out in Saturday's scrimmage for season ticket holders at Mackey Arena. Hammons was impressed as well, but stressed cautious optimism under the circumstances.
"I feel like we can play together, but I would rather see how it goes against another team instead of against us," Hammons said. "It's a little easier for (Haas), because he knows exactly what our players can do and how to box them out — we've been going against them for so long. I just want to see how we do against another team, like Michigan State or another team that can actually go up against us."
Hammons posted 22 points, nine rebounds and three blocks and played on winning teams in each of Saturday's three 10-minute periods. (Some players switched teams throughout the day.) Haas, playing both against and with Hammons, totaled 17 points and seven rebounds.
Haas scored over Hammons early and drew fouls from his post mentor, then capitalized by making 11 of 13 free throws. He and Hammons were more than a handful when playing together on the Gold team in the second period, especially against zone looks, with Haas twice dumping to Hammons for easy buckets from the block.
"When we do play them together, then the other (scrimmage) team doesn't have any size," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "I thought offensively they did some good things. Their interior passing — A.J. did a good job finding people in the high post. Isaac did some good things in the low post passing big-to-big to get some easy baskets.
"I thought the guys that were with them were really simple. ... Any time you have size like that, you're going to be a hair methodical, you're going to be a hair deliberate. But when you're efficient and you can get the ball in the sweet spot against a zone, good things are going to happen."
Haas and the other freshmen are not yet available to the media for interviews. But the other Boilermakers took notice of how well the combination worked and look forward to seeing more of it.
"It sure did look like it," sophomore point guard Bryson Scott said when asked if the 7-footers can play together. "We'll see. That's the best I've ever seen them play together. When the lights come on, that's when it really matters."
Student, then athlete
Purdue fans hoping for their first glimpse of Jon Octeus were disappointed to learn the recent transfer addition was not at Mackey Arena on Saturday.
Octeus, a former Colorado State guard who just joined the program last week, participates in a graduate program in the school of technology that meets on some weekends — this weekend being one of them.
Octeus will play in the next scrimmage, Saturday at 3 p.m. at Mackey Arena. That scrimmage is open to the public. After watching him practice twice, Painter remained "excited" about Octeus' versatility and ability to defend multiple positions.
Healing up
As recently as Tuesday, freshman guard Dakota Mathias had to sit out of practice due to illness. The Elida, Ohio, native has been on the sidelines a lot this summer, either because he was sick or due to an ankle injury.
Yet Mathias played a lot of minutes on Saturday, collecting six points, six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal.
"I thought he was great," said Painter, who said he was glad to see Mathias could run sprints after the scrimmage. "He's not been through a full practice probably in a week and a half, two weeks. ... He's a very cerebral player and the game slows down for him, and I thought he made some great passes and some good decisions out there."

Painter felt the Boilermakers' zone play was "fine," but he wants to see better rebounding. He estimated that Purdue gave up eight to 10 offensive rebounds in the middle session, where Hammons and Haas played together in a big lineup that utilized the zone.
Hammons might have had the best shooting day of anyone, making 8 of 11 overall and 2 of 3 from 3-point range. The Boilermakers made only 27 of 88 (30.7 percent) overall and a miserable 5 of 40 (12.5 percent) on 3-pointers. Stephens and Mathias, possibly the team's two best shooters, combined to go 0 for 13 from 3.
Freshman forward Vince Edwards led all players in rebounds with 11. Seven players had at least two assists, led by Stephens and Beshears with three apiece. P.J. Thompson scored 12 points, and Scott added 11 points and seven rebounds.
Painter expected better free throw shooting this season simply based on personnel. Purdue made 92 percent through the first two periods and settled in at 44 of 53 (83 percent) for the day. ... Neal Beshears and Stephen Toyra joined Hammons as players who won all three periods. ... Fans in attendance watched the Purdue football game on the Mackey Arena scoreboard's video screen. During some pauses in basketball action, there were bursts of applause as Boiler football built a 31-20 halftime lead.


Back when SteelSeries released the Ikari mouse line-up it came as a bit of a surprise that they had two almost identical mice featuring two different types of sensors. The release of the Kinzu optical gaming mouse just proves that SteelSeries is still keen on pleasing the FPS gaming crowd that adores optical sensors. Some might think that optical sensors are obsolete compared to the newer high performance laser sensors, and to some degree they are. Even the most advanced optical sensors can only track up to about 50 inches per second and keep track at about 20 G acceleration, whereas some laser mice should yield coherent tracking at upwards 150 inches per second and 30 G respectively. This relatively large gap is not the end of performance as many gamers still prefer the relatively cheap Logitech MX-518, Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 / 1.1 on a good mat. It seems that SteelSeries are trying to force themselves into this market with the Kinzu mouse, priced at €34.99 this mouse costs about half as much as many of the new laser based gaming mice.
