The best kept secret in music
hris Medina had the winning formula that easily earmarked him as an early front-runner on this season of "American Idol": soaring vocals, a heart- wrenching personal narrative and a charming personality.
Medina won over the judges with his take on the Script's "Breakeven," but it was his backstory that sparked a visceral reaction from viewers. Two months before the Oak Forest, Ill., native planned to walk down the aisle with fiancée Juliana Ramos, she was in a car accident that left her confined to a wheelchair after suffering a severe brain injury.
Medina's emotional audition package culminated in him uttering the words, "What kind of guy would I be if I walked out when she needed me the most?," which surely made people in living rooms across America erupt in tears.
But the seemingly certain contender was eliminated before the top 24 after a less than stellar performance in Las Vegas during a night of Beatles' classics.

Chris Medina's debut single tests 'American Idol's' aim 'to be on the cutting edge of music production' - latimes.com 3/20/13 3:22 PM
?Judge Jennifer Lopez dramatically sobbed, "I can't do this anymore." Medina was stoic, thanking the judges for the opportunity. Lopez needed a moment to compose herself as Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler consoled her and tried to rid her fear of "telling him the right way." "Idol" fans tweeted their disbelief and a crop of 12 men, sans Medina, made its debut.
But across the country in New York, the 26-year-old was enveloped in a media blitz quite uncharacteristic of a contestant who hadn't survived the coveted Green Mile into the top 24. In just a week, post-elimination Medina landed in chairs next to a variety of interviewers, including Jay Leno, Regis and Kelly and Mario Lopez, and he will appear on "Good Morning America" on Friday.
Instead of pining over his unceremonious exit from the show, Medina is working his debut single, "What Are Words," a Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins-produced ballad in tribute to Medina's fiancée. And in a testiment to his quick impact on the competition, the song is performing well, making it into the top 50 of the iTunes top 200 charts (No. 45 as of early Wednesday) -- good news, considering a portion of the proceeds of the song will go to Ramos' recovery fund.
Looking back on his brief "Idol" experience, Medina said he was taken aback that the judges, specifically Lopez, felt so invested in him.
"I felt like they were rooting for me, and they wanted me to be as good as I could be," Medina said. "I had a fantastic story, but in the end I thought they had it right. I thought it was a few performances that weren't so great."
Medina said getting the word that pop Svengali Jerkins (he's crafted hits for Michael and Janet Jackson, Brandy, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, to name a few) had a song ready to go, just for him, was overwhelming.
"He saw something in me. He felt inspired to write something so beautiful. He could have had anyone write that song," Medina said. "Who better to sing it than somebody who went through it?"
Jerkins has been a champion for Medina since he first saw his audition. The producer was recruited by in-house "Idol" mentor Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Universal Music Group's Interscope Geffen A&M subsidiary, along with other hitmakers -- Ron Fair, Timbaland, Tricky Stewart and Alex Da Kid -- to help with song selection, and arranging and producing the musical accompaniment.
On a recent trip to his Hollywood recording studio, the 33-year-old Jerkins had Medina's
audition showing on a flat screen in his lounge, enthusiastically telling anyone within earshot about the singer. He said Medina's tear-filled audition laid the groundwork for the song.
"He gave me the title for the song," Jerkins said. "To me, that statement solidifies who he is, to still be with her. 'What kind of guy would I be to walk away when she needed me the most?' Think about it, how many cats would really stay? To me, it showed who he is."
Lauren Christy, the songwriter who collaborated with Jerkins on the song, said she was struck by Medina's story.
"After Rodney showed me the clip, I just burst into tears. I couldn't believe it. He said, 'Take that emotion right now and write a song about it,' " said Christy, who also has penned songs for Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson and Enrique Iglesias. "There was this beautiful piano motif. Every line came running through me."
Medina's "What Are Words," charity song or not, is the first to flirt with a new model that "Idol" producers hope will further boost the show's sagging ratings: rolling out original music during the run of the show, instead of waiting until a winner has been crowned.
The new crop of contestants will also be presented the opportunity to sing original songs during the competition -– something viewers briefly saw a few attempt in the Green Mile episode last week.
"We want to be on the cutting edge of music production," executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said at the Television Critics Assn.'s winter press tour in Pasadena in January.
Host Ryan Seacrest said he hopes the new model will allow contestants to get "on the radio right away." With the "Idol" host/morning radio
personality premiering each new single on his own hit show, which has become the go-to destination for singers ranging from Rihanna, Willow Smith, the "Glee" cast and even judge Lopez, Seacrest could easily position songs for radio success. Such an arrangement is likely to benefit competitors who historically

haven't gotten a first single out until months after the show's wrap (unless you're in the top three).
Christy, who admits she hasn't been engrossed in the show since the days of Clarkson, said she doesn't understand why "American Idol" is just now cashing in on this idea.
"It's a smart move. In this [song's] case, people are rooting for Chris, not necessarily just on 'Idol,' they are rooting for him in life. Yes, he came out as a loser on 'Idol,' but he's a winner in life. He came out on top," she said. "I think he's been sent to show the world what it means to be man."
During the show's first five seasons, before the digital music boom, the recordings were released as compilation albums at the end of the season -- all five of which broke Billboard's top 200 album charts. Later installments have been digital-only releases (though Season 8 was a Wal-Mart exclusive ). The live performances and studio recordings of covers were eventually made available on iTunes for recent seasons.
In 2010, longtime "Idol" major label affiliate Sony Music was replaced by Universal's Interscope-Geffen-A&M Records arm. Jerkins said the new strategy with Interscope harnesses the show's potential to dominate digital charts, much like another Fox hit, "Glee," proved with its weekly single releases.
"It's the 'Glee' concept, but original content," Jerkins said, adding that it allows content to come out much quicker to build on the day-after buzz. "If you've seen the schedule, you'd ask how we do it. Our first week, we had to turn around 20 songs for 20 contestants in four days."
What weight "What Are Words" -- or any of the original singles' success -- will hold is yet to be seen. But despite the untested waters, Jerkins is confident it will work.
"It's some really good talent," he said. "It's going to be one of those seasons where even if you didn't win, a star is going to be born."
For his part, Medina is just happy to have his moment -- even if he doesn't return to "Idol" on Thursday as a wild-card selection, which at this point seems highly unlikely.
"I would be surprised if they didn't bring me back, now that I have the single out," Medina said. "I would be happy. I just want to perform the song a little bit more. I'm still a contender in this music industry."

"Letters To Juliet" EP - March 2013
"What Are Words" single 2011
Chicago US native, Chris Medina is already an international star with the hit single "What Are Words," which is 4x Platinum in Norway and Double Platinum in Sweden and Finland. Chris Medina's career was launched by a highly successful run on the 10th season of American Idol in which his story stole the hearts of the judges and fans alike. During this time, Chris was introduced to Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Andre Lindal and Lauren Christy who were inspired by Chris' story. In response, Jerkins and his writing team wrote the hit single "What Are Words", a song that Chris subsequently recorded. Launched by the success of "What Are Words", Chris has since toured internationally and appeared on Regis and Kelly, Ryan Seacrest, CNN, Leno and Good Morning America. Chris is also a gifted songwriter, co-writing with some of Top 40's best, including Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Simon Climie (Aretha Franklin, George Michael & Smokey Robinson) & Lauren Christy (Katy Perry & Enrique Inglesias)! Chris Medina's story will also be featured in a $20 Million (USD) major motion picture, released by Metropolitan Creative Studio. Slated to be in theaters in 2014, the feature will be based upon the life of Chris Medina and his fiancé Juliana. A 45 city national concert featuring Chris Medina will launch the film's marketing & promotions and the final concert will be on Hollywood Blvd, in front of The Kodak Theatre where the film will be premiered. Juliana will also be receiving significant support as a result of this project that will assist her to lead the best possible life that she can.

Danville, California is primarily a residential community but there are smaller industrial sectors that support the larger cities in the San Ramon Valley. Most people think industrial developments have to be overpowering and dominate a city, but in Danville, these properties are discrete. As the population grows, the city grows and so do industrial properties. This gives the city the perfect mixture of business and nature. With growing industrial opportunities and economic success and the scenic mountains and valleys, what is not to love about Danville?
Industrial Roofing in Danville, CA
Industrial roofing is designed to withstand severe weather as well as chemical and other harsh conditions.

5.1 This test method is part of an overall suite of related test methods that provide repeatable measures of robotic system mobility and remote operator proficiency. This continuous pitch/roll ramp terrain specifically challenges robotic system locomotion, suspension systems to maintain traction, rollover tendencies, self-righting in complex terrain (if necessary), chassis shape variability (if available), and remote situational awareness by the operator. As such, it can be used to represent modest outdoor terrain complexity or indoor debris within confined areas.
5.2 The overall size of the terrain apparatus can vary to provide different constraints depending on the typical obstacle spacing of the intended deployment environment. For example, the terrain with containment walls can be sized to represent repeatable complexity within bus, train, or plane aisles; dwellings with hallways and doorways; relatively open parking lots with spaces between cars; or unobstructed terrains.
5.3 The test apparatuses are low cost and easy to fabricate so they can be widely replicated. The procedure is also simple to conduct. This eases comparisons across various testing locations and dates to determine best-in-class systems and operators.
5.4 Evaluation-This test method can be used in a controlled environment to measure baseline capabilities. It can also be embedded into operational training scenarios to measure degradation due to uncontrolled variables in lighting, weather, radio communications, GPS accuracy, etc.
5.5 Procurement-This
5.6 Training-This test method can be used to focus operator training as a repeatable practice task or as an embedded task within training scenarios. The resulting measures of remote operator proficiency enable tracking of perishable skills over time, along with comparisons of performance across squads, regions, or national averages.
5.7 Innovation-This test method can be used to inspire technical innovation, demonstrate break-through capabilities, and measure the reliability of systems performing specific tasks within an overall mission sequence. Combining or sequencing multiple test methods can guide manufacturers toward implementing the combinations of capabilities necessary to perform essential mission tasks.View Less
1.1 This test method is intended for remotely operated ground robots operating in complex, unstructured, and often hazardous environments. It specifies the apparatuses, procedures, and performance metrics necessary to measure the capability of a robot to traverse complex terrains in the form of continuous pitch/roll ramps. This test method is one of several related mobility tests that can be used to evaluate overall system capabilities.
1.2 The robotic system includes a remote operator in control of all functionality, so an onboard camera and remote operator display are typically required. Assistive features or autonomous behaviors that improve the effectiveness or efficiency of the overall system are encouraged.
1.3 Different user communities can set their own thresholds of acceptable performance within this test method for various mission requirements.
1.4 Performing Location-This test method may be performed anywhere the specified apparatuses and environmental conditions can be implemented.
1.5 Units-The International System of Units (SI Units) and U.S. Customary Units (Imperial Units) are used throughout this document. They are not mathematical conversions. Rather, they are approximate equivalents in each system of units to enable use of readily available materials in different countries. This avoids excessive purchasing and fabrication costs. The differences between the stated dimensions in each system of units are insignificant for the purposes of comparing test method results, so each system of units is separately considered standard within this test method.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

According to the researchers, this observation will help to deepen knowledge of the behavior of the most interesting space objects – neutron stars. They are among the densest objects in the universe and are formed when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses under its own weight. The force of its impact leads to suction and tearing of neighboring objects.
Scientists have noticed a hot wind when a neutron star releases the collected matter at breakneck speed. As a result, new generations of stars often form and the galaxy changes shape.
We explain: Why are submarines and tires black? It's not about camouflage
Usually, when this happens, the observed patterns get brighter, which in turn allows scientists to monitor them. So far, researchers have seen in Outer Space Only "warm" winds blow. For the first time, a new study has demonstrated both suction and discharge of the substance.
check: Russian nuclear submarines sent for the exercises. This is Russia's underwater nuclear potential
This is a very rare phenomenon
"Bangs like this are rare and each one is unique. It's usually heavily obscured by interstellar dust, which makes it really difficult to observe." – Noel Castro Segura of the University of Southampton says, citing The Independent.
take a look: Drones destroy Russian military equipment. Ukraine uses Polish-made drones
The observation was possible because the scientists were able to predict when and where this would happen. Astronomers used the most powerful currently available to watch this phenomenon telescopes – Hubble and the European Southern Observatory Telescope.

U.S. and China: Healing a wounded relationship
In the three weeks since the virtual meeting between President Joe Biden of the United States and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, there has been a clear improvement in the relationship, with China now cooperating in various areas despite previous demands that Washington first drop its antagonistic attitude.
Thus, when the United States announced plans to release 50 million barrels of oil from its strategic reserve in December to counter rising fuel prices, China announced that it, too, would join in this effort "based on its own needs" along with the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea and India.
Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, said Dec. 2 that the United States was working well with China and European partners in talks with Iran in Vienna.
Moreover, military-to-military exchanges are resuming. On Dec. 2, the Pentagon announced a working level virtual meeting with Chinese defence officials to discuss its recently released report on "Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China." The discussion was called "constructive."
A meeting between Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and China's defense minister, Wei Fenghe, as well as Xu Qiliang, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, is being worked on.
So the summit that ostensibly achieved no breakthroughs and had no deliverables actually ended up restoring some normality to the bilateral relationship.
To a large extent, this change was attributable to Biden's perseverance. He was the one who requested a meeting with Xi, just as he had initiated the phone call with the Chinese leader in September.
In fact, the Chinese attitude changed markedly after the Sept. 9 phone call.
When John Kerry visited China in early September, he ran into a brick wall. Senior Chinese officials met him, in person or virtually, including Vice Premier Han Zheng, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. But they refused to engage on the climate issue and told him that it was illogical to expect bilateral cooperation on climate when the United States was hostile to China on every other issue.
This Beijing message was sent to Washington through various channels, including during deputy secretary of state Wendy Sherman's China visit in July. No doubt, it was delivered personally by Xi to Biden in their September phone call as well.
The atmosphere started to improve after that call. On Sept. 24, Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, detained in Canada on fraud charges in December 2018, was freed after the United States dropped its extradition request. Her release was seen by China as a response to their demand, and it helped to clear the air.
China's change in attitude was clear even before the virtual summit. On Nov. 10, three days before the end of COP26, China and the U.S. issued a joint "Glasgow Declaration" on enhancing climate action in the 2020s. Climate cooperation had resumed.
Of course, there are still plenty of areas where the two countries disagree, such as human rights.
But there is now a floor under the relationship and it is no longer in free fall. And, since the relationship is characterized by competition, there is a ceiling as well. Since both sides acknowledge it to be the world's most important bilateral relationship, it should be handled with care.
China still is reluctant to characterize the relationship as primarily competitive and prefers to describe it as one of "mutual respect, peaceful co-existence and win-win cooperation."
In fact, China doesn't accept Biden's description of the world today as being characterized by a contest between democracy and autocracy, claiming that China itself is democratic. Interestingly, however, the Chinese Communist Party, in its November party plenum, issued a resolution describing the world today in not so different terms.
A resolution on the 100-year history of the party said: "Our continued success in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times has enabled Marxism to take on a fresh face in the eyes of the world, and significantly shifted the worldwide historical evolution of and contest between the two different ideologies and social systems of socialism and capitalism in a way that favors socialism."
So, in the Communist party's eyes, the contest is not between autocracy and democracy but between socialism and capitalism. That is a change in concept and terminology. In practice, capitalist countries tend to be democratic.
So China does see a global contest, with the capitalist United States on one side and socialist China on the other. And it believes that history is on its side.

You look with envy at the way mountain goats scramble effortlessly up the sides of the mountains and you wish for that kind of ability. Well, when you go for the next mountaineering expedition you can…all thanks to the boots you have. When it comes to mountain climbing boots you need to know what makes a great boot that will give you the support you need. In this article we will focus on shoes for mountain climbing that are to be considered.
The best boots for mountain climbing will give you the traction you need as you tackle the varied terrains. Also you need to support and protect your feet. You also need shoes that allow you to flex and move as you make your way along the mountain. While allowing you the ability to comfortably wear crampons when needed, it has extra grip on your feed.
The boots your decide to get is the result of a culmination of factors such as; Whether you are happy to journey with wet feet. Allowing them to dry out as you walk .Hiking with one pair of shoes or two pairs that you will swap out as the terrain changes. Whether you will be travelling horizontally along a path or vertically up the face of a mountain.
Let's dissect these factors a little deeper, then we will discuss the different types available. Look at the rating systems of mountain hiking boots so that you know which boot will better suit your needs. We will begin our trek with a list of the best mountain climbing boots you can plant your feet in.
It's time to leave base camp…
What to look for in a mountain climbing boot
As always the best boot is the one that will meet your specific needs and those determined by the journey you are planning to embark on. The terrain you will face; whether there is a mix of hiking and climbing and the heaviness of the load on your back all play a part in making sure you have boots that will withstand the challenges. Also, provide you with the comfort, safety and protection you need.
You may cross streams or creeks as your hike along the snowy trail and that means, wet feet. Whether you consider that a hazard or not is dependent on you and if you feel that your feet will dry out or not. Hiking and climbing with wet feet can make your trip a real downer and can lead to health issues. If you feel that the weather and conditions will allow your feet to dry as you continue on your journey; then waterproof may not be that much of an issue. It s all up to you.
A walk along the snow line offers a different lay of the land than a climb to the summit of a mountain does. The terrain that you will face dictates whether you need hardcore boots that will give you the grip, protection and insulation your need as you climb or if you can get away with a medium to lower level of the boot. Plan ahead and familiarise yourself with what you will be facing on your trip and match your boots accordingly.
When you are facing extra challenging surfaces, crampons will give you the grip that you need. Most boots will easily fit crampons, but if you have a pair of boots that don't have a solid build you can find that wearing crampons can become a pain in the…foot.
This goes hand in hand with ensuring you have shoes that are appropriate to the terrain and environment you are going to enter into. If you are into extreme mountain climbing then you obviously need boots. They are going to withstand the harsh environment around the mountain such as rocks and ice. You want confidence that the boots you have are going to last the distance.
As you climb you don't want boots that will weigh you down, which can lead to disaster. Lightweight boots will definitely make your journey easier and less challenging.
The main factor, as we have mentioned, in choosing the right boot is what expedition you are going to undertake. A simple climb or hike or an activity that is more full-on.
Which boots to get
When you look at mountain climbing boots you will find that they come in three different types: insulated boots, three-season boots and plastic boots. Which pair will suit you?
Insulated boots
These boots offer warmth through multi-layered insulation. They are best suited for conditions where you will find yourself in cold temperatures for extended periods of time. Extra padding inside the boots keeps your feet warm and snug. When shopping for mountain climbing shoes, insulated boots are the more expensive choice.
Three-season boots
Lighter than insulated boots, three-season boots are better suited for day hikes or simple climbing when it is warmer; these boots don't have lining like insulated boots do. You are getting a rugged boot, so you can safely say that your feet will be well protected while you still are provided with flexibility so that you can hike and climb unhindered by your boots. Three-season boots fall in the mid-price range when buying new footwear for mountain climbing
Plastic boots
These boots are similarly priced as three seasons boots and made specifically for mountaineering. The plastics outer can handle rugged environs but the downside is that they are weighty the high you need to take into consideration if you are an epic journey.
How do I know which boots are up to the task?
In the world of mountain climbing boots, you may find that they vary based on how intense your mountain climbing will be. The rating system runs from B0 through to B3.
B0 boots are ideal for a basic hike along the foot of the mountain and offer great flexibility for your feet. They aren't ideal for winter hikes and if you are wanting to attach crampons, be ready for a world of discomfort as the crampons dig into the soft fabric of the shoe.

I purchased PoE last year on Steam. I have stopped playing this game shortly after WM part1 was released, I got stuck in Cragholdt Bluffs on my way to WM as it was too hard and decided to stop and wait till part 2 was released before continuing, since I already bought the season pass. Now today I thought I can return to the game, but when I load any of my saved states I see questions mark protraits for some characters (a custom character and Aloth) + all my Quest are gone!? it says that I don't have any main quests and I don't see which quests have been completed! what's up with that? I think the save states became incompatible after a bunch of updates!?
I was 60hrs into the game, I only had to beat the last boss/dungeon but decided I want to play white march first (after it gets released completely) and now this... I don't want to start all over again. I think there were at least 2 automatic game updates in Steam while I was absent.
I can provide my save states. Please help me out here! thanks

The most common term we hear when talking about data security is Cryptography; it comprises of practices and study of techniques for secure communication from one party to another without compromising private data that is to be shared between them. The objective of cryptography in simple words is to hide the plain text/data by modifying it into a cypher text/data such that no third party can read it easily. Another term less commonly known is Steganography; it is the process of hiding/encoding a secret message within an ordinary or dummy data file and the simple extraction of it at its destination.Our project aims to combine the best features of the two worlds. The raw data is first compressed, and then split into bytes for encryption via AES. Once encryption is done the encrypted data is hidden behind an exe file. Additionally a SHA-256 hash of the compressed original data is also included to evaluate file integrity.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson End Engagement: 'It Was Way Too Much Too Soon
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have called it quits, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.
The pair decided to end their engagement over the weekend, TMZ first reported on Sunday.
"It was way too much too soon," a Grande source tells PEOPLE. "It's not shocking to anyone."
Sources close to the couple told TMZ that the decision to split was a mutual choice, as both the "God Is a Woman" singer, 25, and the Saturday Night Live star, 24, felt the timing wasn't right.
A rep for Grande did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment, and Davidson's rep had no comment.
As of Sunday evening, Grande had not deleted photos and videos of Davidson from her social media accounts, but Davidson's accounts were no longer active.
The couple's split comes after Grande has endured a difficult few weeks as she came to terms with the loss of former boyfriend Mac Miller, who died from an apparent drug overdose on Sept. 7. After venting about her emotional exhaustion to her Twitter followers, the star took some much-needed time off.
"Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much-needed time to heal and mend," her team told PEOPLE in September. "She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding."
PEOPLE confirmed on May 21 that the Grammy nominee and Saturday Night Live star had recently started casually dating. The news of their pairing came just two weeks after PEOPLE confirmed Grande had split from rapper Miller and one week after Davidson confirmed his breakup from actress Cazzie David, whom he'd dated for a year.
At the time, a source told PEOPLE Grande and Davidson — who have known each other since at least 2016, when she was a musical guest on SNL — "just started" dating.
"Ariana and Mac officially broke up right after Coachella weekend, but they ultimately struggled for a long time with their relationship, and it was basically over last year," the source said.
Grande and Davidson kept their relationship under wraps in the beginning. On May 20, the Saturday Night Live star supported the "No Tears Left to Cry" singer behind-the-scenes at the Billboard Music Awards.
"After Ariana's performance, they were backstage and he had his arm around her," an onlooker told PEOPLE following the show. "They seemed very lovey-dovey. He was hanging out with her and her friends with his arm around her. She seemed quite smitten."
Once news broke of their coupling, though, the entertainers soon made it Instagram official — sharing a shot of them posing together in Harry Potter robes — and began attending events together, including cozying up at Kanye West and Kid Cudi's Kids See Ghost listening party in Los Angeles.
Then, after just a few weeks of dating, PEOPLE confirmed on June 11 that the pair were engaged after Davidson popped the question with a massive 3-carat diamond ring.
"It's a recent engagement. They're just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time. They both started talking about it this past weekend. It's nothing they've been hiding," a source close to the couple — who celebrated their engagement at Disneyland — told PEOPLE at the time.
A source close to the couple told PEOPLE that the stars bonded over "hardships," including his father Scott's heroic and tragic death on 9/11 and the aftermath of the terror attack at her Manchester Arena concert last year, which killed 22 people and injured more than 500.
"They've both been through hardships so that's something they definitely have in common," the source close to the couple added at the time. "They've both dealt with some dark stuff at a young age."
On June 20, Davidson confirmed the engagement during a sit-down on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
"I feel like I won a contest, so sick. It's f—ing lit, Jimmy. It's so lit," Davidson said. "It's so funny to walk down the street because dudes are walking by," he explained as he reenacts someone tipping their hat to him, adding, "Did you see that Derek Jeter commercial? He's retiring and everybody tips their hat. … Some dude goes up to me and says, 'Yo man, you gave me hope,' I was like I didn't know I was that ugly."
In a sit-down for GQ's September issue, Davidson revealed it was love at first sight with Grande.
"The day I met her, I was like, 'Hey, I'll marry you tomorrow,' " he says. "She was calling my bluff. I sent her a picture [of engagement rings]. I was like, 'Do you like any of these?' She was like, 'Those are my favorite ones,' and I was like, 'Sick.' "
Barely a week after their engagement news made the rounds, Grande and Davidson moved in together, reportedly getting an apartment in one of Manhattan's most luxurious buildings. Throughout the summer, the pair were spotted out and about in New York City, and documented their outings — from rug shopping to car rides — on social media.
Soon after they were linked, both Grande and Davidson got some tattoos inspired by their relationship, including the initials "AG" on Davidson's right thumb and "Pete" on Grande's left ring finger.
And since the couple got together, they shared several life events, from surgeries (that is: his wisdom teeth removal) to her birthday on June 26.
"I have everything I ever wanted," Grande wrote in an Instagram story on her birthday.
Grande and Davidson weathered their fair share of social media hate throughout their whirlwind romance.
After Justin Bieber — who is also managed by Scooter Braun — popped the question to Hailey Baldwin, Grande also defended their quick engagements.
"You do realize we are human beings who love and have lives… right? And that Scooter is a wonderful human being too who cares first n foremost [about] our health and happiness?" tweeted Grande after she and Bieber received hateful comments on social media. "Love is lit. S— happens. I hope to god it happens to you too. U deserve it."
Just day's after Sweetener dropped, Grande and Davidson made their red carpet debut at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they posed (and smooched) for the cameras. The pair continued to make the rounds the following week, as Davidson joined Grande for her intimate "Sweetener sessions," where Davidson introduced Grande at shows in N.Y.C., Chicago and L.A.
In between those fan concerts, Davidson professed his love for Grande during a campus Q&A with students at Auburn University.
"What's it liked being engaged to Ariana? It's like what you would think it would be like but like a 100 times sicker," he said to the crowd as seen in fan videos shared on social media. "I'm a very, very happy boy who is very, very loved and I'm very lucky. And my d—'s forever hard."

Former NFL star Darren Sharper has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in a case in which he was accused of drugging and raping women in four different states. Sharper was arrested in 2014 on rape charges in Louisiana, Nevada, Arizona and California.
U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo in New Orleans handed down the sentence Thursday after Sharper's plea deal was rejected. Sharper previously pleaded guilty and no-contest to raping—or attempting to rape—nine women between Aug. 31, 2013, and Jan. 15, 2014. A total of 16 women accused Sharper of assault; not all of the accusations resulted in charges.
"They didn't deserve anything being a part of my heinous decisions," Sharper said. "I still don't know why I lived my life right for 38 years and then I took this path."


text: oh400ex 629 Posted October 13, 2020 Hello again everyone! We have (in a few threads) had discussions about softening and restoring rubber parts. The secret ingredient is Methyl Salicylate (Wintergreen Oil) Process as with most things is the most important bit. There are several different ways that the softening can be accomplished but each with advantages and disadvantages. The video attached to this post is excellent! This individual tested many different methods and was able to restore rubber using several. I think that he got very close to describing the ideal setup but without actually getting there. Long and short is this... Heating the part in water and MS is the best way. The trick is to control heat and consistently integrate the oil. Best way I have tried is with a hotplate stirrer and immersion blender. Set hotplate to a very low simmer and high stirring while the part is being treated. The part in solution step usually takes me under an hour before it is softened enough but not too much. The immersion blender is used after adding the MS to water. What we are trying to do is create a temporary emulsion type of effect so the small oil droplets stay suspended in the water for longer. A TINY bit of soap makes this smoother. (dip a toothpick tiny amount)(not even a full drop) I plan on doing a full tutorial on this process in the future but wanted to share this video with anyone who was curious about the overall chemical process. He does a great job! This is just the summary but back it up and watch the whole video if it interests you! Thank you for reading! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
