"Female empowerment, anti-oppression and anti-control are some of the band's messages" | Interview with Slave To Sirens
Interviews Death MetalLebanonThrash Metal
Formed in 2016, Lebanese Death/Thrash Metal band SLAVE TO SIRENS released its first EP Terminal Leeches in 2018. After receiving rave regional and international reviews, the all-female band is looking to make an ever bigger statement with their debut album.
There has been much talk about the Lebanese Metal scene in the last 5 years, less concerts (RockRing no longer the main event organizer), cancelled international bands (Sepultura, Within Temptation), less venues to play in (main venues such as Nova and Cherrys closed or simply died out). Still, we witnessed the best international coverage/recognition of the scene (Lebanon featured on Metal Hammer, Lebanese bands in Wacken) and music output (Ostura, Blaakyum, Kaoteon, etc) during these times, including Slave to Sirens' explosive arrival and their WACKEN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL 2019 performance.
Make sure to check out the in-depth interviews on Revolver and The National to get acquainted with the band and their journey so far.

Interview with Slave to Sirens
You mentioned conservative Lebanese society many times throughout your interviews, while portraying the Metal scene as an obscure and unpopular community. Do you actually feel you are outcasts, both as Metalheads in Lebanon, and as female Metal musicians in the scene? Do you think the Metal scene, however liberal it may be, still echoes the patriarchy of Lebanese society? Any first-hand experiences with that?
Alma: To our surprise and pleasure, we were immediately accepted in the Lebanese metal scene, although some people, especially men, like to say that we're getting there just because we are an all-female metal band from Lebanon; a quite conservative country. But to sum up our presence in the metal scene in Lebanon, it has been going really well. But in the eyes of the bigger audience, which is society, we're just insane.
Maya Khairallah (Vocals) – Credits: Slave to Sirens
When speaking to the listener as "you", is it really about self-reflection? Perhaps you are still experiencing some of the obstacles that you are preaching to be free of? How do the audience/listeners genuinely connect with your messages and music?
Alma: Our songs are about how we feel towards the subjects that we write about, and those subjects are present in our harsh world, so it should absolutely be self-reflection and we leave the audience to interpret the songs the way they want, we're not limited to one meaning. War, animal cruelty, evil human nature and corruption are all obstacles that many people wish to be free of, so we shouldn't stop talking about them whether it's in music, books or movies.
Shery Bechara (Lead Guitar) – Credits: Slave to Sirens
Here's a tough question I've heard many ask: do you feel the narrative of being an all-female Metal band from the Middle East overshadows your music? Do you think your music is good enough to penetrate the Metal market?
Alma: Yes. That's what a lot, but not all, interviewers shine a light on. They are more concerned with this matter than the music. But if our music wasn't good enough, we wouldn't have got the opportunities that we got. We had a couple of podcasts, YouTube channels (Banger films), many magazines (mainly Revolver), articles and international radio shows who got to review our EP and we had one positive review after the other…some radio shows had no idea we were actually girls when they heard our music!
You mentioned that the genre / style you play is imported, so one assumes that you do not focus on creating your own sound, but rather using already-established sounds as a vessel for the band's main message of female empowerment, anti-oppression and anti-control. Your thoughts on that…
Alma: What we meant by imported sound back then is that Metal as a genre does not originate from the Middle East but of course, many bands inspire us to create this music. Female empowerment, anti-oppression and anti-control are some of the band's messages. Our music also includes topics like abuse of power, psychopathy, human nature and subjects of war. Female empowerment comes from being on stage, so we could inspire women (also men), especially in the Arab world, Fear should not dictate our lives and girls should do whatever they love and feel comfortable about.

It is understandably hard to follow up on EPs as an independent band, how is your debut album going? It surely must have been affected by the recent economic crisis in Lebanon, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. What can we expect a little teaser from you, and are you reaching out to any labels at the moment?
Lilas: We are still working on our debut album; it has been a challenging journey so far with the covid-19 pandemic really slowing down the progress of finalizing the final touches on the album before entering the studio to record. We were in quarantine and could not meet that often. The economic crisis, the revolution also made things worse, because prices skyrocketed and now recording plus releasing the album meant that we are obliged to find any financial sponsor or aid to make things happen. The teaser will be out eventually, when everything is in its right place.
I personally found your first EP to have highly polished and tight material, with a few more songs it could have easily passed as a debut full length. Why did you choose to stick with the EP even though the quality is obviously commendable and your creativity and energy is capable of pouring out more? Also, tell us how was your experience actually performing live when it comes to staying true to the studio level of tight technicality and brutal assault?
Lilas: We chose to stick with an EP (we definitely do not regret it) because we were a band that was just starting, the amount of excitement was unfathomable and we had to listen to our gut feeling! so, we created those four brutal and fantastic songs, and decided to release them. Thankfully, we got amazing reviews, shared the stage locally with amazing bands and played at major festivals in Europe/ North Africa. Now many people are impatiently waiting for our full-length album. We cannot deny that performing live is totally a thrilling and challenging experience, like an adrenaline rush but this experience is sacred. We love performing live and we will always try to stay up to the level to the brutality and technicality of our albums.
Alma Doumani (Bass) – Credits: Slave to Sirens
What are your favorite Lebanese Metal bands of all time? If you had to split an album with one, who would it be and why?
Lilas: To be honest, we enjoyed sharing the stage with most of our fellow brothers from the Lebanese scene and we are grateful to some who actually supported us along the way, so to pick one would not be fair… we would make a Lebanese metal bands mash up hehe.
We love Metal subculture like H.P Lovecraft fiction, mythology about ghosts, demons and witches. Tell us some interesting things you like from the Metal subculture.
Lilas: Ah yes our lead guitarist Shery Bechara is huge fan of H.P lovecraft especially Cuthulu stories, she also got a tattoo of cuthulu! We are all interested in mythologies it helps our creativity and imagination, our band's name was inspired from Greek mythology of sirens luring sailors with their seductive beauty and enchanting voices to their doom so you can tell how much we are involved in such themes.
Lilas Mayassi (Rhythm Guitar) – Credits: Slave to Sirens
Any female musicians from the region (Lebanon/Middle East) you'd like to cooperate with?
Lilas: Nancy Ajram jkn… You know it is quite unfortunate that the Arab world has few known female musicians; during our time in Casablanca, we met an incredible talented metal vocalist from Alchemy band!
Finally, what are you listening to nowadays? We won't judge if it's Baby Metal!
Lilas: Lately we have been trying to discover new bands, new interesting and peculiar genres, so let us say anything that is more aesthetic and inspirational. Each one of us comes from different musical backgrounds. This means our taste in music varies but we all listen to metal (obviously) such as Gojira, Opeth and Lamb of God to name a few. Other genres include Rock, Jazz, Electronic music and Rap and classical.

I am in the midst of trying to nail down requirements from a client for a pricing engine in a retail environment. We have defined the pricing engine as operating on a set of pricing rules that establishes new price points for purchased items based on existing items already in the shopping cart.
A simple price rule might be GET A SHIRT 40% OFF. A more complex rule might be GET A FREE SHIRT WHEN YOU BUY 2 PANTS AND SPEND AT LEAST $30.
The general industry practice for applying these rules seems to be final best price to the customer, but it has come up that there may need to be a ranking option as well as a stacking option.
Ranking will allow a rule that would otherwise lose out to win. Stacking would allow multiple rules to win.
I've reviewed many of the posts here on SO regarding rule engines and I need help determining if I should be looking at one of these tools as part of my design or if not what design patterns and algorithms might be applicable to the design.
It is clear that this is potentially an NP problem, and the number of items(facts) that I will be dealing with could exceed 100+ per transaction with repricing required every time a new item is added.
A rule engine is very suitable. If the rule engine is reliable, fits into the rest of your architecture/application and is needed for a core feature of your application then go for it.
If the rule engine is only a small part of you application or even worse: is some code, which is not the same programming language than the rest of you application ... then you should reconsider. Every application part, which is external from your core applicaton (even the database is external to a java application) is a risk.
Then there are two possibilities: Program a simple rule engine by your own or make use of the Strategy or the State Pattern.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged design-patterns rules or ask your own question.

FRIDAY, Nov. 17, 2006 (HealthDay News) -- Having youngsters undergo eye tests at two-and-a-half years of age can help predict vision problems when they're 10 years old, Swedish researchers report.
Previous studies have found that refractive errors (problems with the degree of light that reaches the back of the eye) are more common in children born preterm (before 35 weeks of gestation) than in full-term children.
In this new study, researchers at Uppsala University Hospital checked for refractive errors in 198 preterm children at 6 months, 2.5 years, and 10 years of age. The researchers assessed the development of astigmatism (an unequal curve in one of the eye's refractive surfaces) and for anisometropia (a difference in refractive power between the two eyes that can lead to partial vision loss).
Reporting in the November issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, they found that 108 children had astigmatism at 6 months, 54 at 2.5 years, and 41 at 10 years. They also found that 15 children had anisometropia at 6 months, 17 at 2.5 years, and 16 at age 10.
"The presence of astigmatism and anisometropia at 2.5 years of age were the strongest risk factors for having astigmatism and anisometropia at 10 years of age," the study authors wrote.
"In this population-based study, we found that a refractive error at 2.5 years of age predicts that refractive error will also be present at 10 years of age," the team concluded.
"Recommendations for follow-up examinations must include all aspects of visual function, i.e., visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and visual fields, as well as the refraction, strabismus and perceptual problems. All preterm children should be included in such follow-up examination for refractive error, irrespective of the retinopathy of prematurity stage," the researchers wrote.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a condition where there is abnormal development of blood vessels in the retina. The smaller the baby is at birth, the greater the risk of ROP.

My Thoughts: I had been looking forward to Jessica's Guide To Dating On The Dark Side. I remember being extremely excited when it was released.
I did enjoy Jessica's Guide to an extent but I had wished I had liked it more.
We are introduced to Jessica who is pretty naive when it comes to vampires. In moves a boy named Lucius, a vampire who she was promised too as a baby. Come to find out, Jessica comes from quite the popular family and is destined to rule by Lucius' side. This was a bit hard to imagine and to really catch on. For Jessica and myself. She didn't really believe in vampires at first. And Lucius sure didn't really fit in around her small town.
I liked Jessica and Lucius both. I liked both of their personalities and how they clashed. I also liked Jessica's adoptive family and her real uncle. Lucius family; not so much.
I liked the plot and how it was Lucius' mission to make Jessica come into her vampire heritage and fall for him.
I did enjoy this one but I didn't like it as much as I had hoped. I also liked Jessica's friend and the nice guy she was seeing. Hated the girl Lucius was seeing. But that was kind of the point.
I will read the next one in the series!
Overall: I'd say this is probably more of a 3.5 cupcake rating for me. I liked it, I finished it, but it didn't hook me as much as I hoped!
Cover: Like it! This is what originally drew me to the story. Thought it was cute!

CPAC Systems, together with Time Critical Networks, finish today a joint Thesis Project, aiming to check the feasability of replacing CAN with standard Ethernet.
The purpose of the thesis project was to investigate the possibility of replacing the CAN bus with Ethernet according to the following requirements:
Standard off-the-shelf components and software stacks
No modification of the network node application software, i.e. messages formatted according to CAN protocols must be transferred by means of Ethernet.
A unique approach to this issue is offered as a result of the work done by Time Critical Networks. Their tool makes it possible to calculate the maximum forwarding time of a frame in an Ethernet network. This tool may make it possible to validate the use of Ethernet for time-critical applications.
CPAC Systems, a company in the Volvo group which develops and manufactures steer-by-wire systems based on the CAN technology, wishes to verify whether Ethernet could now be considered as a solution to complement or replace CAN, thus overcoming limitations of CAN. This verification was the goal of this master thesis project.
Please do contact us for further information about the master thesis project, such as the report.
Time Critical Networks, sign an agreement with a pan-European automotive consortia of in total 17 companies and organisations.

March 31, 1997; 22 years ago (1997-03-31) in Boulder, Colorado, U.S.
Idol Minds, LLC, since 2017 doing business as Deck Nine, is an American video game developer based in Westminster, Colorado. The studio was founded in March 1997 by Mark Lyons, who currently serves as president and chief technology officer of the company.
Idol Minds was founded by video game programmer Mark Lyon on March 31, 1997, after moving with his family from California to Colorado. Originally located in Boulder, the company later moved to Louisville in 2003, and to Westminster in 2015.
Idol Minds became widely known for their ragdoll physics-based game Pain, which was first released on November 29, 2007. The game went on to become the "all time top downloaded game" on PlayStation Network of 2008. On October 21, 2009, it was reported that Idol Minds, in a series of layoffs, had made 26 of its 46 employees redundant. An employee of the company cited budget cuts from Pain publisher Sony Computer Entertainment as primary reason for the staff reduction.
On June 7, 2011, at that year's E3, Sony Computer Entertainment announced Ruin, a "Diablo-style action role-playing game" for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3, to be in development at Idol Minds, in co-operation with SCE San Diego Studio. Later retitled Warrior's Lair on January 13, 2012, Idol Minds was taken off the project on April 2 that year. Warrior's Lair was eventually canceled in July 2013.
In 2012, Idol Minds shifted its focus onto mobile free-to-play games.
On August 10, 2015, a Kickstarter project was launched for a nature photography game titled "Shutterbug", seeking to raise US$400,000 in funding. The project was canceled 10 days later, after $2,973 had already been raised, with Idol Minds stating that "things didn't work out".
On May 31, 2017, Idol Minds announced that the studio had changed its direction of development to focus on narrative-driven games, having developed a toolset called "StoryForge", and effectively adopted the trading name "Deck Nine". The company stated that a "brand new addition to a critically acclaimed franchise" was already in development. The day after, on June 1, 2017, multiple images from a supposed prequel to the 2015 graphic adventure game Life Is Strange leaked through Deck Nine's website. The leak surprised journalists, as a sequel to Life Is Strange, Life Is Strange 2 had been announced to be in development at Dontnod Entertainment, the creators of the franchise, the month before. On June 11, 2017, at Microsoft's E3 2017 press conference, Life Is Strange publisher Square Enix announced the game in development at Deck Nine to be Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. The first out of three episodes from Before the Storm was released on August 31, 2017.
On September 20, 2018, Deck Nine announced to be working on a new game with Square Enix.

When you generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the device management interface, the CSR is stored on the files system in the wrong location. It is stored in /config/ssl/ssl.csr/, when the other device (management interface) items are stored in /config/httpd/conf/ssl.crt and /config/httpd/confg/ssl.key. The /config/ssl/ssl.* folders appear to be where certs and keys (distributed with the system) are intended to be stored.
Potential confusion about where the files are stored if needed during troubleshooting. It appears that all needed parts of the GUI look in the same, incorrect place for the file.

This former station was built in 1936. I don't know what it was originally but it was a Gulf station and then a Chevron station in later years. The unique, interlocking units were vacant and the pumps had been removed. The smallest "house" at the left was used for the men's and women's restrooms. Soon after these photos were taken in 2005, the station was badly damaged in an accident and demolished.

Legend has it that Nicole Sharp was born to hippies during an ice storm in Stone Mountain, Georgia. While confirmation of said events cannot be agreed upon, one fact is for certain, it was a Tuesday. By age twelve, Nicole was sure of two things. 1) She wanted to be a writer and 2) She wanted to travel. She begged her parents to allow her to voyage alone to exotic lands. She was allowed to go from California to Boise Idaho to visit a great-grandmother.
Her first car was a yellow Chevy Celebrity and her favorite job was as a docent in a museum in an old Colorado mining town. And yes, she has written extensively about both.
In the course of her writing career, she's been published in a smattering of literary magazines, those short stories can be found here. These days she writes about Italy, love, coffee and quirky adventures of fearless women.

When your schematic has a large number of related signals, it is helpful to group them. In its schematic editor, KiCad has a few tools to help. Your end-goal helps determine which tools to use. For example, do you need a KiCad bus or a label? In this post, I explore how you can define signals, group them, and reference them across schematic sheets.
Up until recently, I did not need to use a bus or multiple sheets. However, the Apple IIgs project I'm working on is too large for a single page. In a KiCad live stream, I looked at how to create busses and connect them. In a separate tutorial, I will show how to work with multiple sheets in KiCad.
Lastly, if you are not familiar, KiCad is an Open Source eCAD tool. Although I have used others, this one currently my preferred platform.
Before jumping to how to use a bus, first, we need to start with the basics. KiCad connects nodes with a "wire" element. KiCad gives each wire drawn a unique name unless it connects to an existing node. The user can override the name by adding a label.
KiCad BOM: Don't Bomb your BOM!
A KiCad BOM is a list of all the parts your design is using. The term BOM, or bill-of-materials, is standard for supply chain management and does not just apply to electronics. KiCad's eeschema has a BOM export feature. Unfortunately as of Version 4.0, this feature is still somewhat lacking. Given the limitations, here are some tips to take your KiCad BOM from Schematic to Mouser.
Spending a few extra minutes while capturing (drawing) your schematic thinking about your KiCad BOM can save you a ton of time later on. Moreover, as you build up a database of parts, these extra minutes turn into seconds. Here are a couple of ways to describe your parts, especially passive components, better while drawing schematics in KiCad.
Engineers make a schematic to explain their circuits.
The map was the method we used to communicate with each other, even though we didn't both speak English. With this crude but useful map, I could find my next drinking place destination.
Schematics are the same as this map. Even if you don't speak the same language, you can communicate how a circuit works when you make a schematic.
Use one of these five tools, when you need to a document a circuit or when you need to ask for help.
A new project I have started working on involves the Apple IIgs. It was Apple's last 16-bit (and 8-bit) computer. Inside are many application specific integrated circuits, or ASICs, that make the IIgs an extraordinary member of the Apple II family. One chip, in particular, is called the "MEGA-II." This chip takes all of the individual logic chips from the original Apple II design and incorporates them into a single 84-pin PLCC.
The project I have in mind needs the MEGA-II. I need to design some printed circuit boards for it and a few other IIgs chips. That goal means I need at least one custom Kicad schematic symbol. I plan to create a custom library of Apple IIgs components.
Like other computers from the same era, complete schematics are available. However, they are not in a modern format. Since I need to create symbols for so many of the chips as it is, I may end up re-creating the entire IIgs schematic.
For now, here is the process I use to create custom KiCad schematic symbols and parts.
Milling printed circuit boards with open source tools from start to finish.
The last time I looked at using an X-Carve for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), I created a demo board with EAGLE. Since then, I have learned more about using KiCad, the open source electronics CAD suite. While not a step-by-step tutorial, here is my rough KiCad to X-Carve PCB workflow. These are just the high-level steps, the tools necessary, and the settings I've discovered for each—so far.
Eventually, I will make this a more detailed KiCad to X-Carve PCB tutorial, so make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed for updates.
There is a project that has been sitting on my "to do" list for too long. My lab notebook has several dedicated pages for it. But I have not made progress. I decided to take some advice I have given to other people. When you're stuck on starting a task, break down the project until you find a piece small enough you can get it done with no problem.
The project involves the Apple IIgs. It was Apple's last 16-bit (and 8-bit) computer. Inside are some application specific integrated circuits or ASICs that make the IIgs. The name with my attention is named "MEGA-II." It takes all of the individual logic chips from the original Apple II design and incorporates them into a single 84-pin PLCC.
A gCode viewer is essential when doing anything with a CNC. Knowing where the tools is going to run can mean the different between a failed cut and a broken bit. Or let's say you're trying to debug some gCode scripting, no need to wait an hour to find out you messed something up. That's where a GCode Viewer can help.
There are several on-line options that let you upload files and see them in a 3D view. However, if your CNC is setup like mine, there isn't a good internet connection available. Camotics, formerly the unfortunately named OpenSCAM, is a cross-platform open source gCode viewer / simulator.
Most recently I used it to debug some gCode that pcb2gcode generated from a Kicad board I am working on.
As 2015 wraps up, I took a look at baldengineer.com's traffic for the past year. Here's some of the most popular stuff from my blog, in case you missed it.
Everyone with a blog looks at their traffic numbers. For me, traffic data provides feedback on what tutorials or posts are helping people most. Each year, the traffic to my blog grows at ridiculous numbers. As someone with both an engineering and marketing background, I find the numbers impossible to believe.
Thank you to everyone who reads, shares, and comments the stuff I create. Those of you on the mailing list, I appreciate the interaction we have there, please keep writing in!

Can the X-Carve be used for PCB Milling?
There are two methods to making a prototype PCB: 1) Etch Your Own or 2) Send to a Prototyping Service. While there are many prototyping service options, most cause you to wait anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days before you get your boards back.
If you need a PCB done today, etching at home is a great option. Chemical etching involves all kinds of steps with all kinds of weird chemicals. If you don't want your neighbors to think you're the next Walter White, then mechanical etching is a better option. Which is why I bought an X-Carve from Inventables. It's a CNC Milling Kit you build yourself.
Keep reading for my X-Carve CNC Review and first-hand experience on etching my first PCB. Plus, lots of pictures!
If you need a reason to be an Element 14 member, let me suggest their Road Test program. Companies partner with Element14 to get people to try out their gear. A couple of years ago I got a new microcontroller board. This week I received a new test instrument. Here's my hands-on Picoscope 2204 review.
The scope is bus powered. With the BNCs and type-B USB connector, it is slightly larger than an external USB hard drive. There is not much weight to the device. It does not feel cheap, just lighter than I expected.
Getting the scope up and running is a breeze. Pico Tech included a CD (or DVD?) to install the software, but I could not find my drive to check it out. Software downloads from Pico Tech's website work great. It looks like you can even download the software and use it in "Demo mode" if you are curious how it works–without purchasing anything.
Sharing is the maker community's foundation. When you share projects with others, you contribute to the community. In the past, you might just post your project on a personal website. Today there are many options to share projects.
This weekend I "finished" my reflow oven controller, Open Vapors. Believe it or not, five years ago there were not a bajillion similar projects. In fact, I based my design on the only completely open source project I found. It is a reflow oven controller Arduino shield from Rocket Scream.
After completing my controller, I was excited to share the project. Then I started to think about where to post the files. Obviously, here at baldengineer.com is one option. But I wondered. Is there a better place where others could benefit from my work?
This post is a few notes on the platforms used to share projects. At first, these might seem like they all serve the same purpose. From a high level that is true. However, there are small differences that you should consider when you share projects with the open source hardware community.
Engineers are notorious introverts. An untrue generalization is that introverts hate being social. Like all humans, introverts are social creatures. We just prefer only to discuss the topics which are of interest to us. We will listen to anything. This social media guide for engineers explains why and how you can participate in social media, without being social.
Let's address something head-on. Gone are the days of just "here's what I ate" or "I'm in the bathroom" social posts. Social media channels are mature platforms for communication. Sure, junk still exists. However. You can filter out the signal from the noise when you following my social media guide for engineers.
Recently I've been expanding my retro game collection to include game cartridges imported from Japan. The problem is that I don't have Japanese game systems (yet). So I'm creating an open source adapter to convert Famicom carts to the NES. Before I submit the PCB to OSH Park, I'm going to run through this PCB Checklist to make sure I don't forget something silly.
This PCB checklist is something I've built over my years of creating boards. If you've got tips from your own list, don't forget to leave a comment letting us know.
The concepts on this list will apply to almost any PCB software. The tips I give relate to EAGLE, since that is what I use most often. Feel free to comment to add tips for other design software like upverter.com or KiCad.
Keep reading to see the list.
Make sure you also check out the comments, some really great suggestions there too!
Is the Arduino FPGA worth buying?
Earlier this week, I looked at the Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 during an AddOhms live stream. My goal was to understand the Vidor better. It is the new FPGA-based Arduino which started shipping this month. It runs about $60. You can learn more at the Vidor Product Page on the Arduino website.

2023: What's to Come
January 5, 2023 by Jordan Holmes
Happy New Year from Urbanspace! As we look back on 2022, we could not be more grateful for continued growth and achievements of both our company and Austin as a whole. Between Wine Down Wednesdays, company outings, over 200 closings, welcoming residents to 44 East Ave, and selling out The Modern Austin Residences, and so much more, "work hard, play hard" has taken on a whole new meaning! And for what we are looking forward to in 2023,
Urbanspace and Top Chef's Gabe Erales will open our new Mexican-inspired restaurant at the ground level of the brand new 44 East Ave Residences in Rainey Street District! This will be Urbanspace's 2nd hospitality endeavor after the recent opening of the beautiful Codependent coffee + cocktails space. Bacalar, opening in Spring of 2023, will be a Mexican-inspired restaurant specializing in food heavily influenced by the different regions of the Yucatan peninsula, where Exective Chef Gabe Erales' family's roots originated. The name "Bacalar" comes from the Pueblo Magico that is located less than an hour north of Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico, and known as the Lake of 7 Colors. Anchoring the ground level of the 44 East Ave condominium tower, Bacalar will offer a prime location proximal to Lady Bird Lake and the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail. The restaurant will transport its guests to Mexico on the shore of Lady Bird Lake.
THE RAINEY STREET TRAILHEAD
With the growth of the Rainey Street District, the connection between the Ann & Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake and Rainey Street is becoming more vital for transportation and access to nature. The addition of Rainey Street Trailhead to the lake's network of public spaces will be an integral outdoor resource for many downtown residents. Working closely with The Trail Foundation, a non-profit formed to protect and enhance the lake's trail system, the design team engaged the local community to define the park's goals. This public input established three key goals for the project: introduce water access, provide for play, and repair the site's ecological health. We cannot wait for our 44 East Ave residents to be able to soak up these improvements, set for completion this fall.

Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona breaks world record for women's club match
A world record for a women's club match was in attendance to see Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid set a new world record attendance for a women's match between two clubs sides as 60,739 people were at Sunday's league game against title rivals Barcelona.
Atletico usually play their home games at the club's training ground but the demand for tickets forced them to move the fixture to the 68,000-capacity Wanda Metropolitano on the outskirts of Madrid.
The crowd saw Atletico fall to a 2-0 defeat, as goals from Asisat Oshoala and Toni Duggan re-opened the title race. The result means second-place Barca close the gap on leaders Atletico to just three points with six matches remaining.
The record attendance in Madrid continues an increasing rise in the popularity of the women's game in Spain.
🏟 ¡Récord histórico de asistencia a un partido de clubes!
🏧 ¡Hoy somos en el Wanda @Metropolitano 60.739 espectadores!
👏 ¡Gracias, afición, por hacerlo posible! 👏

— At. Madrid Femenino (@AtletiFemenino) March 17, 2019
Athletic Bilbao had only set a new record attendance for a women's game in the country last month when 48,121 supporters attended their Copa de la Reina game against Atletico at San Mames.
Tickets for Atletico's match against Barca were available for free to club members and for as little as €5 for the general public.
An Atletico spokesman told ESPN FC that over 40 percent of the tickets on Sunday were paid for.
The final attendance was still some way short of the world record crowd for a women's international match, with 90,185 people in attendance for the 1999 World Cup final between the United States and China at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

New school involved in Bronny James recruitment
Jamie Shaw08/18/22
2023 four-star Bronny James (photo cred- Christian Petersen / Staff Getty Images Sport)
Memphis is the newest school actively recruiting four-star Bronny James, a source told On3. James, a rising senior at Chatsworth (CA) Sierra Canyon School, is On3's No. 38 ranked player in the 2023 class.
We wrote during Nike's Peach Jam that Penny Hardaway was courtside, among the 150 college coaches and NBA personnel watching James play. Hardaway was impressed with the 6-foot-3 guard's 15.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Ties to Penny
LeBron James has not been shy about saying he grew up a fan of Penny Hardaway. In 2019, after being seen dapping up Penny Hardaway courtside while playing the Memphis Grizzlies, LeBron told the media, "Penny was one of my favorite players growing up. I kind of idolized Michael Jordan, but I wanted to be like Penny."
The two player's careers overlapped in the NBA for a few seasons. It was the latter part of Penny's career and the beginning of LeBron's. They played head-to-head five times in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 regular seasons. LeBron is 3-and-2 against Penny.
LeBron James was also involved in Penny's Fastbreak Courts. A proposed multi-use facility in Cordova, Tennessee that Penny announced in 2011 with the backing of Coke, Sprite, and Campbell Clinic.
It was recently announced that Hardaway's son Ashton is transferring from Duncanville (TX) High to Chatsworth (CA) Sierra Canyon, where Bronny James will be a senior. The two are currently with their team on a three-game foreign tour in Europe. All three games are being televised and broadcast by ESPN.
Ties to Nike
Memphis is under contract as a Nike program across all sports through this coming 2022-23 season. Penny Hardaway is also one of history's more iconic Nike-sponsored athletes.
In the 1990s, Penny Hardaway was recognized as the premier Nike athlete behind Michael Jordan. Still to this day, Hardaway's Nike shoe line is thought of as among the best signature shoe series of all time.
Penny Hardaway's Nike Air Foamposite 1 is considered among the top signature shoes ever issued.
James recruitment
As we reported on Tuesday, James is still in the embryonic stages of his recruiting process and has still not taken any visits yet. After gathering intel, I placed my expert pick in On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) for Bronny James to choose Oregon with a 55 confidence level.
While Memphis does not have a commitment in the 2023 class, they have issued a handful of offers. The Tigers have not offered James yet, but do not be surprised to see one come after James returns from his foreign tour.

Stephen Hawking has, in the past few years, made some statements about Artificial Intelligence that are oft-quoted and, to be, somewhat misleading. His voiced concern was existential– about whether we are girding for the possibility (small 'p') that AI might decide that we humans are not so useful to have around, Skynet and all. But his commentary today in The Guardian, This is the most dangerous time for our planet, is outstandingly well done. He comments crisply on some of the most critical problems we face, weaving together the concerns we should all have regarding global balkanization, extremism, climate change, climate refugee dynamics, technologically induced underemployment, inequity. It's all there, folks, ready for the reading. I heartily recommend Hawking's newest commentary- share it with your friends. His final thoughts are that we must be humble even in the heights of the ivory tower. I'll go one step further: we need to find a path toward global empathy, and this empathy in turn needs to totally reprogram how we think of externalities and consequences of action and inaction both. It is time to be one team.

A newly minted historic district preserves a piece of old New York in downtown Manhattan.
The three-block neighborhood, which encompasses MacDougal, Sullivan, and Thompson Streets between Sixth Avenue and West Broadway, boasts several historic buildings, as well as unique restaurants, shops and green spaces that give it a sense of intimacy often lost in the Big Apple. You'll find the flagship Blue Ribbon Sushi, but also the Japanese grocer Sunrise Mart and Our Lady of Pompeii Church.
The designation of SoHo Village as a historic district was the culmination of a 15-year campaign by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation (GVSHP), which works to preserve the cultural and architectural heritage of many downtown neighborhoods. Neighbors grew concerned when Jared Kushner snatched up properties in the area in 2012.
"He isn't exactly known for his sense of preservation," quips Valle-Canon.
Part of Manhattan's storied South Village, SoHo Village boasted jazz clubs, speakeasies, coffeehouses and other bohemian institutions. It also housed generations of working-class Italian immigrants in tenement buildings.
"I'm contacting all the old Italian-Americans in the neighborhood to see if we could show their Super 8 home movies of when they were young people in the '50s and '60s," Pagan says. The association is also planning an outdoor film fesitval in Vesuvio Playground, a small park between Thompson and Spring Streets, where they'll show movies filmed in the area.
The goal is to draw people to the area, but also maintain a sense of community for those already there. Other efforts include installing old fashioned Christmas lights and organizing art walks with downtown artists like Phoebe New York.

What do you think about my blog's new "look"? Have you noticed the difference? I whant to change some things more, and I hope all this changes will be only for better.
Today I will show a new neck full of colors and very fun. And I will tell you my opinion about a new wool yarn that I just try it.
Looking for some new wool in one of my favorite online stores, I found a very interesting yarn and decided to try it. I liked it's bright colors and it's volume, and in description it was told that the neck can be made from just one ball. I decided to try if. And you know what? This yarn didn't disappoint me. It was just like on the photo from the shop, with intense colors and with much volume.
Composition 75% Acrylic, 15% Wool, 10% polyamide.
100 grams, 15 meters, is knitted with 4-4.5 mm needles.
P. S. I just realized that I have not said nothing about the wool. It is very soft, full of colors, with much volume, all of it is fine, but it has a pretty big failure, it loses much of color when you wash it, horrible, I had to wash it many times to see the water more or less transparent . My note for it, from 0 to 5, is 3.
Free knit pattern. Cowl from 2 types of yarn.


Four young and musically talented friends meet at a piano shop and face challenges in love, career and friendship together, all while expressing their love for music and growing up in Hong Kong.

In order to save her, Ken and his new protégé Cool (Nicholas Tse) must work together to expose the evil mastermind Ko (Gao Hu) by challenging him to a high stakes head-to-head battle of cards.
Chinese Feng Shui master, Carson (Chapman To) was a "Natural Born Player", taking names and breaking hearts. Fate had it that he would meet his match, the hot veterinarian, Chi-Ling (Chrissie Chau). It was love at first sight but neither could stand the other's fickle nature lest the affair might have ended as soon as it began.
Zixin (Gao Yuan Yuan) is a Mainland Chinese woman working in a financial firm just before the financial tsunami. On a particularly bad day, she is helped by failing architect Kevin Fong (Daniel Wu) on the street, and then she is charmed in her office by fund manager Sean Cheung (Louis Koo) from an office across the street. As both men begin to fall in love with Zixin, various misunderstandings send the three off on their separate ways. Three years later, Sean returns to Hong Kong and becomes Zixin's boss. Their romantic feelings are soon ignited once again, but Zixin can't accept Sean's inability to leave his philandering days behind. Zixin's love for Sean is further shaken when she is reunited with Kevin, who has moved into the office across the street and is still in love with Zixin. Who will she choose in the end: The seductive charmer, or the kind gentleman?

Prior to joining Duke I&E, Brian was most recently the associate director of alumni relations and development for the Division of the Humanities at the University of Chicago. A native North Carolinian, Brian moved to Chicago in 2012 to join the philanthropic consulting firm Grenzebach Glier and Associates (GG+A) and served both the arts and culture and academic medicine practice areas as project manager and consultant.
He began professional life as a woodwind specialist performing and teaching before finding his way into arts administration and fundraising growing the educational programming of a rural community school for the arts in western North Carolina.


In an effort to construct the most advanced school system in the nation, Los Angeles school administrators and educators initiated a new scientific method of group intelligence testing. Almost immediately educators discovered serious limitations with the process and resisted its exclusive use. This study examines the reception of this new technology in Los Angeles between 1922 and 1932. Many historians have seen those associated with I.Q. measuring as bulwarks supporting the hegemony of Anglo-Saxon upper-middle class society. While their criticism has brought some non-equitable aspects of twentieth-century public education to surface, it has not led to our understanding of how educators interpreted the tests. An analysis of the sources, including reports published in the Department of Psychology and Education Research Bulletin of the Los Angeles City Schools, the Teachers' and Principals' School Journal, and the Minute~ of the Board of Education, provides insight into how Los Angeles educators viewed standardized testing.

VARIOUS ARTISTS: 'Mainstream Funk' (We Want Sounds)
By Charles Waring
Founded in 1964 by a pioneering New York record producer called Bob Shad, whose main claim to fame was establishing the jazz-oriented EmArcy imprint at Chicago's Mercury Records, Mainstream was home in the late-'60s to the psychedelic rock bands The Amboy Dukes (fronted by Ted Nugent) and Big Brother & Holding Company, which featured the future blues-rock superstar Janis Joplin. In 1970, though, Mainstream's emphasis shifted to Shad's first love, jazz, via their famed 300 Series range of LPs, which were issued between 1971 and 1975. Cherry-picked from several of those albums is this wonderful, gatefold-sleeved double vinyl album packed with a dozen funk-flavoured gems.
The legendary Sarah "Sassy" Vaughan, who recorded four albums for Mainstream, opens the proceedings with a sublimely jazzy interpretation of Marvin Gaye's 'Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler),' one of the highpoints from her 1971 LP 'A Time In My Life.' From there, the listener is taken on a wild sonic ride; from surreal cartoon funk (Prophecy's 'Betcha Can't Guess My Sign,' whose pitch-shifted "chipmunk" vocals pre-dates George Clinton's Parliament) to movie theme treatments (trumpeter Blue Mitchell's vibrant take on Gato Barbieri's 'Last Tango In Paris'), spacey jazz soundscapes (Buddy Terry's 'Quiet Afternoon') and a quirky unclassifiable track called 'M'Bassa'; the latter a vehicle for keyboardist LaMont Johnson to showcase the weirdly woozy timbres of the Yamaha EX42 synth-organ, then one of the most expensive musical instruments on the planet).
Other outstanding cuts include soul man Sugar Billy's infectious 'Super Duper Love,' which was famously covered and taken into the pop charts by UK soul singer Joss Stone in 2004 and trumpeter Johnny Coles' gentle groove 'Betty's Bossa.' Arresting, too, are Mike Longo's breezy guitar-led 'Matrix' and alto saxophonist Peter Yellin's hard-charging funk barnstormer 'It's The Right Thing.'
With informative liner notes provided by Record Collector's Paul Bowler, 'Mainstream Funk' offers an enjoyable dip into producer Bob Shad's back catalogue; but ironically, as music goes, it's anything but safe or "mainstream." Overall, it's a great advert for one of the most important US jazz indie labels of the early 1970s.
