Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] May 17 (ANI/NewsVoir): DJ Snake recently released the video for his all-star hip hop anthem "Enzo" ft. Offset, 21 Savage, Gucci Mane and Sheck Wes.
Directed by Daps, "Enzo" stars each of the track's featured artists alongside DJ Snake himself. Right from its epic opening shot - a real-life embodiment of the Ferrari logo's prancing horse - the black-and-white visual proves to be unforgettably iconic.
The music video has been released via Geffen Records on April 24, has also premiered as a Zane Lowe's World Record on Apple Music's Beats 1.
The hard-hitting but hypnotic track reveals DJ Snake's deep roots in hip-hop and showcases some of the genre's most vital artists: Offset (of the platinum-selling, Grammy Award-nominated trio Migos), 21 Savage (whose critically acclaimed 2018 album I Am > I Was debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200), Gucci Mane (the trap pioneer and Founder of 1017 Records), and Sheck Wes (a 20-year-old Harlem songwriter/rapper known for his triple-platinum breakthrough single "Mo Bamba").
Last month, DJ Snake delivered one of Coachella 2019's most-talked-about moments by bringing Cardi B, Ozuna, and Selena Gomez on stage for the first-ever live performance of their massive hit song "Taki Taki". Having also recently performed the sold-out 'Pardon My French' at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre, he's now gearing up to appear at many of the world's biggest summer festivals.
Known offstage as William, the international artist has embraced the Indian culture. He attributes a lot of importance to the country for influencing some of his greatest hits, Lean On and Magenta Riddim to name a few.
Having shot two of his music videos here, he has visited the country numerous times in addition to celebrating New Year's Eve and Holi with his Indian fans. During his last visit, he met some of the biggest names in Bollywood including Shah Rukh Khan, Parineeti Chopra and Varun Dhawan.
DJ Snake has collaborated with Tanaaz Bhatia led Bottomline media, a Mumbai based leading international music marketing agency for alliances, brand and Bollywood projects in India. "We're very excited to work with William and his team on new projects for India," said Tanaaz.
"India is possibly my favourite country in the world. To be able to come and play in more cities than I have before is going to be for sure one of the highlights of 2019", said DJ Snake.

Sunnyvale's best kept secret is Hiyashi Massage. The address is
1240 Wolfe Road, but it is cleverly hidden in a small shopping
center just off El Camino. Also, there is NOTHING on the outside
to even hint it might be a massage parlor. The front looks like a
high-class nail salon, and the sign says "Body beautiful tan tone."
When you walk in the door, there's a long, narrow waiting area, like a
beauty parlor. But the only services available on the menu are half-hour
and full-hour "body toning." On weekday evenings, there are as many as
a dozen girls, most of whom are refugees from Kimiko and other nearby
establishments. While the other places have gotten pretty conservative
lately, the Hiyashi girls will go all the way. They won't quote prices,
since that would not be legal, but the bigger the tip, the more thorough
the service. $40 will get you a topless hand job, another $10 usually
will allow total nudity. This is on top of the $40 half-hour house fee.
While the main fee can go on Mastercard or Visa, tips must be in cash.
The place is clean, the furnishings are new but not ornate, and they
provide a bathrobe for the shower. The massage itself is VERY sensual–
in fact, if you don't have a hard-on in three minutes, either there's
something wrong with you, or you're a woman. In which case you'd be wetter
than a monsoon. I should tell you how to find this place. Take El
Camino to Wolfe. Turn north (that's towards 101)and on your right
will be a car wash. The next driveway is the one you want. Go all
the way to the back of the parking lot, and you're there. By the
way, Chellokababi, a very nice Persian restaurant, is in the same
shopping plaza.

Houston recovering from yet another deadly flood
HOUSTON (AP) — As more than a foot of rain deluged the nation's fourth-largest city, inundating homes, shutting down major highways and leaving at least six people dead, Houston's mayor said there was no immediate solution.
Heavy flooding has become nearly an annual rite of passage in the practically sea-level city, where experts have long warned of the potential for catastrophe and have criticized city leaders for not doing more to address the problem.
"A lot of rain coming in a very short period of time, there's nothing you can do," Mayor Sylvester Turner said Monday.
Flash flooding and a 50 percent chance of more were possible Tuesday, a day after nearly 18 inches fell in 24 hours. The National Weather Service had the area under a flash flood watch through Wednesday morning.
Scores of subdivisions were flooded and most schools remained closed although the city itself was returning to normal. Municipal offices reopened Tuesday and by midmorning, less than 10,000 CenterPoint Energy customers were without power, an improvement from 24 hours earlier when electricity outages topped 100,000. Houston's Metropolitan Transit Authority resumed service and most highways within the city were open.
Outside the city and into the suburbs of northwest Harris County, runoff from Monday's rains forced creeks over their banks and forced more people to evacuate their homes overnight.
In addition to its location, Houston's "gumbo" soft soil, fast-growing population and building boom that has turned empty pastures into housing developments all over the city's suburbs and exurbs make it vulnerable to high waters.
Harris County has seen a 30 percent jump in population since 2000. Its surrounding counties have almost grown more than 10 percent since 2000, according to the Greater Houston Partnership, a business group.
Some of the resulting developments include adequate greenspace for water runoff, but not all of them do, said Philip Bedient, an engineering professor at Rice University.
"Could we have engineered our way out of this?" Bedient said. "Only if we started talking about alterations 35 or 40 years ago."
Samuel Brody, director of the Environmental Planning & Sustainability Research Unit at Texas A&M University, has called Houston "the No. 1 city in America to be injured and die in a flood."
He said Tuesday that mounting damages from flash floods point to a woeful lack of planning in a city that added 90,000 people last year alone and is a major cog in the national economy. He suggested the city should offer buyouts to homeowners in areas that chronically flood and turn the land into open space. The city should also upgrade its building code to mandate elevating structures in flood-prone areas, he said.
"To throw up your hands and say we're going to be vulnerable and have hundreds of millions of dollars of impact every year in Houston just because it rains a lot is not the attitude we need to take," Brody said. "We are not thinking about the big picture."
Rainstorms last year over Memorial Day weekend caused major flooding that required authorities to rescue 20 people, most of them drivers, from high water. Drivers abandoned at least 2,500 vehicles, and more than 1,000 homes were damaged in the rain.
The year before, flash flooding in Houston and suburban counties left cars trapped on major highways.
Those storms still pale in comparison to the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. Allison left behind $5 billion in damages and flooded parts of downtown and the Texas Medical Center, which sits near the Brays Bayou, a key watershed.
The National Weather Service's chief meteorologist for Houston, Jeff Evans, said Monday's soaking and the 2015 Memorial Day deluge were the second- and third-biggest rain events on record after Allison, which dumped more than 30 inches of rain on parts of the sprawling city over two days.
Asked if man-made climate change could be a factor, he said the data is unclear but that the El Nino weather phenomenon, caused by heightened surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific, could "be a player in why we're had so many big rain events this year."
Evans said rain fell in some places Monday at a rate of 3-4 inches an hour.
"No matter what drainage system you build, anything will struggle with that kind volume in that short a time," he said.
Bedient has worked with the Texas Medical Center on better preparing its facilities for massive rainfall, including the use of a sophisticated weather alert system that gives the medical center extra time to activate gates and doors that block excess rainwater.
Improving the monitoring of specific watersheds and flood-prone areas might give affected residents the extra bit of time they need to save lives and take protective measures.
"We can't solve this flood problem in Houston," Bedient said. "All we can do is a better job warning."

Hakone is a very lovely, pretty damn touristy mountain filled to the brim with onsen, or hot springs. This is my first weekend free of The Article, and my skin had taken a hit, so I've holed up at a little hostel. A+.
But before that there was a brief visit to local city Nagoya, which is wonderfully untouristy, to cast my vote with Democrats Abroad – they get 21 delegates but my vote makes more impact in the primaries this way.
But I landed in Tokyo and got laughed at an izakaya. So it goes.

As Barry and I began our journey on U. S. Highway 50, I remember thinking, "Well, this is not so lonely." Compared to Bluff; Salina, Scipio, Holden and Delta, Utah are literally sprawling. Once we left Delta, however, I began to understand the designation. Delta is on the eastern edge of the Great Basin; a large inland region comprising approximately 200,000 square miles with no external drainage. The Basin is bounded by the Sierra Nevadas on the west and the Wasatch Mountains on the east, and was named by explorer John C. Fremont, who felt it resembled a gigantic bowl; a gigantic, empty and sparsely populated bowl. The region is stark and solitary; at times overwhelming in its enormity.
Our destination was Nevada turquoise mines owned by rough and ready Tuffy C. Barry and I have been buying turquoise from Tuffy for many years, and enjoy the color and variety of his stones. Although dealing with the man is always a challenge, we have managed to stay on the inside longer than most, and Barry had recently secured an invitation to Tuffy's mines. When Brother John Huntress, master bead maker, heard the news, he informed us we definitely did not want to miss the experience, so Barry and I fired up the Subaru and headed west.
Barry had ambitiously made reservations for us at the Lincoln Motel in Austin, just 20 or 30 miles from the mines. Since it was already 6:00 p.m. when we exited Delta and entered the Basin, I was pretty sure we would not make it to Austin that night, and so it was. Exhaustion forced us to stop in Eureka, a small town 70 miles west of Austin. Since it was late and the Best Western was full, we secured lodging at the Sundown. Reasoning that Barry had gotten us into this adventure so he should accept the higher risk, I advised him to make a run for the office while I guarded the car.
From the outside, the Sundown looked as though it had flamed out decades ago. Oil field workers in boxer shorts and tattooed and pierced women stood, reclined or slouched in many of the open doorways. Barry and I feigned courage and soldiered past them all. Locating our room, we were surprised to find it 1970s comfortable. The roughnecks and working girls retired about midnight and I slept peacefully, dreaming of inland oceans.
Early the next morning, with a loose description where to find Tuffy's turquoise treasure trove, we were on our way to the mines. After a brief misfire, and a lot of bumping around on dirt roads, we finally arrived at our destination. I must admit, but for an an old Caterpillar track hoe parked next to the high wall, I would not have recognized the mine as being of any consequence.
View from the Motel.
When Tuffy finally arrived a few hours later and fired up the hoe, I told Barry I intended to drive into Austin to scope out the town and get a few supplies. Saltine crackers, sardines in mustard sauce, original Spam and white bread were high on the list. After our good luck at the Sundown Lodge, I had high hopes for Austin.
Upon entering the town from the east, however, my expectations were immediately dashed. Austin was founded in 1862, when a horse owned by prospector W. H. Talbott kicked up a piece of quartz containing gold and silver. That occurrence set off a mining rush that brought 10,000 people to the town and lasted until the early 1880s. Since then, Austin has been in steep decline, and the population had dwindled to about 200 souls. The junkyard on the east side of town set the tone, which continued the entire eight or ten blocks comprising the community. To say it was bleak would be a gross understatement. Spotting the Lincoln Motel, my heart sunk even further. From the highway, it looked as though the lodge had been abandoned in the 1880 mass exodus. After a little searching, I was able to secure a few necessities and a cast off Omaha Steak styrofoam cooler from the local convenience store and headed back.
During my absence, Tuffy had mucked out the mine, and he and Barry were beginning to probe the clay veins for mineralogical specimens. I made my report, and Barry looked at me the way he does when I am spinning one of my trading post yarns. It was not until we checked into the motel that he fully comprehended the vitality of my account.
After maybe a century of use, the mattresses at the Lincoln Motel looked as though they might have been slept on by Mr. Lincoln himself. Decades of use had compressed them to about three inches thick, and they sloped dramatically toward the headboard. The television was so old it had just one channel, which continuously broadcast an infomercial for 1950s music. Strangely enough, with my feet pointed towards the headboard to ensure the blood did not run to my head, I slept like a king.
The next morning, while the mining team organized itself, I went for a walk around town. Noticing a bottle and jewelry shop a few blocks up the street, I started in that direction. Since the "Closed" sign was still up, I just peered in through the glass. Alice, a woman in her late eighties, unlocked the doors and invited me in, saying, "Honey, there's no reason to look through the windows when you can come inside." I inquired how she was getting along and was informed that she was fine but for a back problem that had kept her down a while.
Lying on a mat just inside the front door was the oldest big dog I had ever seen; her coat and eyes were misty gray, her teeth were mustard yellow or missing and she had large growths on the only side I could see. "Eighteen years old," Alice proclaimed. "She's 18 years old and her name is Lady. Isn't she beautiful? The Washington Post called and wants to do a story on her. She's part hound and part rottweiler. Isn't she beautiful?" I had to admit there was an unusual and exceptional beauty to both Alice and Lady. Lady rolled over so I could scratch her tummy, and Alice advised me that Lady was an extremely good judge of character, so I must be all right. Asking Lady if she needed to go outside to, "do her business," Alice let the dog out. Lady's business required a trip across Highway 50, which constituted Main Street Austin, to a vacant lot. Because Lady could walk only a few steps before requiring a long respite, I expressed my concern about her getting across the street safely. "Don't worry Honey," Alice reassured me, "that is the Lonely Highway."
Alice's shop in Austin, Nevada.
Lady returned and demanded another scratch, so I willingly obliged. In the meantime Alice had directed me towards two soda pop bottles I wanted to buy for our bottle collecting buddies. Once the purchase was consummated, I felt an overwhelming urge to give Alice a hug. She intuitively shuffled out from behind the counter, shyly embraced me and said, "That was a hillbilly hug. My old momma used to say they will keep you alive at least one more day." Hoping to keep us both alive even longer, I gave Alice another hug and departed the store with a new fondness for Austin and its residents.
As Barry and I left for the mines that day, knowing I would likely not return for a long time, I drove slowly past Alice's store. I felt completely recharged; fully satisfied that I had once again discovered an unexpected gem in the heart of America.
With warm regards,
Steve, Barry and the Team.

Chase Vault Story with Links to Photographs
Photo from: "The Chase Vault Homepage" by Dr. Jason Moore
Supernatural, Natural or Human Phenomenon?
There are four possibilities involving this mystery: Three possibilities
involve the moving of the coffins. They were either moved by:
- Supernatural forces
- Natural forces like water or gas, or
- Humans
The fourth possibility is that the coffins were not moved at all, but that reports
were made falsely stating that they had been moved.
Based on the circumstances, it is unlikely that any one of the first three possibilities represent fact. By a process of elimination, this leaves us with the hoax, which was investigated by Dr. Joe Nickell (See next two paragraphs). I would not take any of the arguments too seriously. My only conclusion would be that Freemasons were very influential in Barbados since the early 1800's, and that their terminology is present in some of the accounts of the Chase Vault story.
A Masonic hoax?
"Though based entirely on circumstantial evidence, Nickell's speculations are intriguing and well argued. They are also, at this late date, unprovable. In any case, there is no compelling reason to believe any of the moving-coffin stories describe real-life occurrences."
" The only one for which much information is available, the Barbados episode, is loaded with symbols and phrases which Freemasons would recognize. Nickell, who had investigated an earlier Masonic hoax involving a tale of buried treasure, contends the Barbados story was fashioned around the Masonic allegory of a "secret vault" which, according to a Masonic text, "was … in the ancient mysteries, symbolic of death, where alone Divine Truth is to be found …. We significantly speak of the place of initiation as 'the secret vault, where reign silence, secrecy and clarkness.' It is in this sense of an entrance through the grave into eternal life, that the Select Master is to view the recondite but beautiful symbolism of the secret vault. Like every other myth and allegory of Masonry, the historical relation may be true or it may be false; it may be founded on fact or the invention of imagination; the lesson is still there, and the symbolism teaches it exclusive of the history." "
(Editor: Allegorical essay seems more appropriate than hoax.)
Investigative Files - The Secrets of Oak Island
by Joe Nickell (B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. University of Kentucky. Ph.D. literary investigation and folklore.) Read entire article here.
"Another such lost-treasure story is found in the purported Beale Papers which tell a tale of adventure, unsolved ciphers, and fabulous treasure. This was "deposited" in a stone-lined "vault" (using language from the Select Masters' degree) in Virginia. The papers were published by a Freemason (Nickell 1982b).
Then there is the "restless coffins" enigma of the Chase Vault of Barbados. According to proliferating but historically dubious accounts, each time the vault was opened, between 1812 and 1820, the coffins were discovered in a state of confusion. After they were reordered the vault was closed by "masons." Yet the coffins would again be found in disarray. At least two of the men involved were high-ranking Freemasons. In 1943 another restless-coffins case occurred on the island, this time specifically involving a party of Freemasons and the vault being that of the founder of Freemasonry in Barbados! (Nickell 1982a)
It now appears that another such tale is the legend of Oak Island, where again we find unmistakable evidence of Masonic involvement."

Masonic involvement debunked - "Giant, tropical, puff-ball fungi" held responsible
(Editors note: I have lived for over 20 years in Christ Church, Barbados, and I
never seen a giant, tropical, puff-ball fungus. However, they do exist! Here
is a photograph of one apparently taking a break from moving coffins and (ha,
ha) preparing to ambush a lad wearing sneakers!)

Good Chase Vault Stories with Photographs
- Interesting interpretation, recent photos - Entering the Chase Crypt
- "Sketch showing the positions in which the coffins were left in the Chase vault, Barbados, on July 17, 1819—the vault being closed and sealed immediately" - link
- "Moving Coffins of Barbados" - link
Lord Combermere
Lord Combermere headed the investigation in 1819 into the Chase Vault disturbance. He was both a high level Freemason and a Governor General of Barbados at the time. This is what he is reported to have seen:
"The seal was perfectly intact upon arrival, but the coffins were still scattered. Some of them had even flipped upside down, and one was lying halfway up the stairs leading to the door. The sand so carefully placed before gave away no footprints or signs of water."

If you're a federal employee on furlough during the government shutdown, and you have a death in your family while you're off the job, former Memphis City Councilman/funeral director Brent Taylor wants to give you funeral free of charge.
But you must first register your family with Brentwood Funeral Services furloughed employee hotline, just in case. To register, call 901-461-7956. The program ends when the government reopens.
"A federal employee who is without a paycheck could be financially ruined if faced with purchasing a funeral during this government shutdown," said Taylor. "These public servants should not have to worry about an unforeseen funeral expense while the government is shutdown. They deserve peace of mind."
Taylor has served on the Memphis City Council and the Shelby County Commission.

THERE is a sense of achievement on reaching a century. On all manner of occasions it calls for a celebration. It is a subject for congratulation by friends and of justifiable pride to those who have anything to do with it.
Newspapers are no exception, especially provincial newspapers, whose survival, often through many vicissitudes, pays tribute to the faith and fibre of their proprietors. There is a feeling of permanence on these occasions; an enduring place has been carved out in the life of the district which they serve. It endows them with dignity and strength and a great tradition.
The provincial Press was, and still is, often the cradle of those who ultimately serve in key positions in the great and powerful organizations of our National Press.
THE WHITEHAVEN NEWS has made its rightful contribution to contemporary journalism. Arthur W. Wells, a former editor of THE OUTSPAN, a South African magazine known throughout the English speaking world, gained his early training at The Whitehaven News. So also did Eldred R. Reeve, at present deputy editor, THE DAILY MAIL, London; J. Alfred Lewthwaite, night news editor, THE DAILY MAIL, Manchester, and Joseph Taggart, a leader writer and book reviewer on the staff of THE STAR, a London evening newspaper.
These men, self-made and self-reliant, are worth their salt in journalism. They are resourceful and determined men of action, making quick and accurate decisions about the value of news which pours into their departments night and day. It is an exacting life and few can make the grade demanded. It is also a fascinating life, full of colour and changing like a kaleidoscope -- there are no dull moments in the working lives of these quick-thinking newspaper men. It is not surprising to learn that most, if not all, of them would not wish themselves immersed in any other work but that of the Fourth Estate.
There is nothing much wrong with provincial training methods when our boys, as we like to call them, succeed so well in the Street of Adventure. In these higher spheres sound training and great journalistic ability are the only passports to success.
Those who are privileged to see their paper through its 100th birthday may reflect that the great-grandfathers of many of their readers saw no other newspaper in their homes from the first day they could read. They grew up with it, they married and had children, who, in turn, had a like experience. To them, as with their parents and grandparents, their local newspaper is part of them and is read from beginning to end. If they go abroad to live, it follows them over the Seven Seas, reaching out to sons and daughters in exile, a weekly and very welcome letter from home. So the roots of such newspapers, and the Whitehaven News is one of them, go very deep into the soil; they seem to have a firm hold on life, and, with efficient management, they should endure, providing they are permitted to pursue their traditional paths without let or hindrance in this rapidly changing world.

finding a mortgage broker
Finding a Mortgage Broker – A mortgage broker will take the leg work out of looking for a mortgage. They will research the mortgage market, compare different deals, charges and criteria.
When you're looking to get a great mortgage deal it seems like there are just about the same number of mortgage brokers out there as there are mortgage deals, so how can you find a good mortgage broker in Croydon and Bromley?
Earlier this year we heard that finding the right mortgage adviser to help you with choosing the right mortgage can have a big impact on the cost of a mortgage. One of the reasons for this could be access to a wide range of lenders. Some brokers however have a limited range of providers, while others may have access to more than 60 different mortgages.
How do brokers get paid ?
Most mortgage brokers get paid a commission by the lender when arranging your mortgage, this is known as a procuration fee. The amount brokers are paid is typically a few hundred pounds per mortgage.
Some mortgage advisers charge a fee for their advice. In most cases the broker fee is paid in addition to what they receive from a mortgage provider. Broker fees vary from a few hundred pounds to as much as 1% of the amount you're borrowing. A typical fee would be £495.
There are other advisers who don't charge advice fees and are happy to receive just the procuration fee. These are called "fees free mortgage brokers"
The level of advice you receive should be the same, regardless of whether you pay a fee, however, it isn't always the case.
So how do you find a broker ?
Check out the brokers website. Read the broker's client testimonials. Speak with one of the advisers and get a feel for how they operate. Ask as many questions as you need. Call a few local brokers and compare how they treated you when you called. Compare the initial service you received, because that's a sure indication of what it'll be like when you use them.
Make sure they're giving you advice, not just comparing rates and recommending the lowest. A mortgage isn't simply about cheap rates, although they help obviously. Comparison website are great for getting an idea of what mortgage rates are available.
What's the advantage of using a mortgage broker ?
A mortgage broker will take the leg work out of looking for a mortgage. They will research the mortgage market, compare different deals, charges and criteria. All of which can affect the overall cost of your mortgage.
When a mortgage broker makes a recommendation, they are giving advice. Mortgage Brokers must hold appropriate qualifications and they have a duty of care to give clients the best advice possible. You can check out the FCA website to make sure your mortgage broker is registered.
