Apple Music has announced that its analytics platform for musicians, called Apple Music for Artists, is out of beta and available for all. These types of back-end dashboards are invaluable for artists to get insights about how their music is performing on a platform across the world.
Apple Music for Artists has been around in beta since mid-2018, and much of what was around then is still around now. It's just been tweaked and refined as musicians have given their input. Basic dashboard stats like your overall plays, song purchases on iTunes, and radio spins — on Apple Music editorial and algorithmic stations — are still front and center, badges are still automatically awarded for hitting milestones and personal bests, and artists can upload their own profile image.
There are a ton of insights you can check out down to the city level in over 100 countries, and all of this data and activity about streams and sales can be viewed either in lists or on a visual heat map. I've always loved that Apple Music for Artists displays this info both ways; if an indie artist wanted to look at planning a tour, looking at a heat map would be an easy way to start mapping a route or figure out how to adjust a setlist from city to city.
You can view basic demographics about your listeners like age, gender, and cities where songs are being played. But because of Apple's strict privacy policies, you can't cross-reference two sets of data. You couldn't, for example, look at how many 18- to 25-year-olds are listening to one of your tracks in New York.
While the fundamentals have stuck around, there are also plenty of additions. Apple Music for Artists is now available both on a web dashboard and on a new standalone iOS app for the iPhone. It's a massive extension that will let artists view their stats anywhere, on the fly. There are also new metrics, like music video views and performance, daily listeners (which can be viewed by country, city, or song), and more detailed information about playlists to which your songs have been added and their positions on those playlists.
Another new thing that's of particular interest is the integration of Shazam. Artists can now see their Shazam data, including the top shazamed cities and countries. This can be really useful to figure out which tracks are worth pushing. A track might not have a ton of plays, but it could have a spike in shazams, pointing out that there's bubbling and active interest.
Apple Music for Artists is now available for every artist on Apple Music. Artists can sign up and claim their account on Apple's dedicated site.

This manual is based on findings from the implementation of the USAID-funded Rice Field Fisheries Enhancement Project (RFFEP) in four provinces of Cambodia (Kampong Thom, Siem Reap, Pursat and Battambang) between 2012 and 2016. The manual has been developed to guide relevant stakeholders and target communities in how to approach i) the selection of Community Fish Refuges (CFR) and ii) the process of designing and implementing improvements to the CFRs. It summarizes and distils lessons on how to design functional CFRs and followon interventions in order to improve the physical and biological characteristics of CFRs and their connectivity with the surrounding environment.

Vall Llach Idus 2004
- we93

|Red Wine
|Spain, Catalonia, Priorato
|Vall Llach
Wine Enthusiast
- we93
Deep and dark, this is an excellent kitchen-sink blend (it includes Carignan, Merlot, Cabernet, Garnacha and Syrah). For those who like expressive, fruity, no-holds-barred wines, you're gonna swoon for this. The palate is super lush and full of dark cherry, tobacco, herbs and spice, while the finish is mile-long. Outwardly impressive in a modern style.
Wine Spectator
- ws91
A solid red, with plum, dark chocolate and mineral notes. The muscular tannins overshadow the fruit, but there's enough acidity for freshness and the fruit emerges on the finish. Cariñena, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha and Syrah. Best after 2008. 600 cases imported.
Wine Advocate
- wa91
The 2004 Idus is made from fruit purchased from local growers cultivating small plots of old-vine Carinena and Garnacha. The wine consists of 45% Carinena, 20% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Garnacha, and 10% Syrah, a rather atypical blend for Priorat. Fifty percent of the wine went through malolactic fermentation in tank and 50% in barrel. Forty percent of the wine was then aged in new French oak and 60% in second year. The color is saturated purple and the aromatics quite restrained. With vigorous swirling, elements of smoke, earth, mineral, and blackberry reluctantly emerge. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and tightly wound although the raw materials are all there. The fruit is layered and concentrated, the components in balance, and there is enough structure for long-term cellaring. Give this wine 4-6 years of further bottle age and drink it through 2027. Although this wine is certain to have a long life, the real question is how much pleasure it will ultimately provide.

For women seeking to confirm pregnancy or learn when they may have conceived, an ultrasound offers accurate results. At Michigan Avenue Center for Health in Chicago, the practice's experienced ultrasound technicians provide safe pain-free ultrasounds. If you live in the Chicagoland area and are in need of a diagnostic ultrasound, call the South Loop office or request an appointment online today.
Ultrasound Q & A
What is the Purpose of a Fetal Ultrasound?
A fetal ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images on a monitor of your reproductive organs and fetus. It may be used to confirm pregnancy, detect specific abnormalities, and determine with impressive accuracy – between 3-5 days – the time of conception.
How is an Ultrasound Performed?
There are two forms of fetal ultrasound available:
Transvaginal Ultrasound: Also called an endovaginal ultrasound, a transvaginal ultrasound entails the insertion of a thin wand-like transducer into the vagina, about 2-3 inches. The probe is protected with a condom and covered with gel. The probe emits high-frequency sound waves that reflect off the body's structures and are transmitted to a computer. There they are converted into images and projected onto a monitor. This method of ultrasound is usually performed with your bladder empty or partly filled. The procedure may cause minimal discomfort, but is not painful. Transvaginal ultrasounds are used most often during early pregnancy when the uterus and fallopian tubes are closer to the vagina than to the surface of the abdomen.
Abdominal Ultrasound: This form of ultrasound uses the same high-frequency sound wave technology as a transvaginal ultrasound. But rather than a vaginal probe, a transducer is glided across the abdomen. For a transabdominal ultrasound, you'll lie on the exam table with your abdomen exposed. The technician applies a special gel to your abdomen to improve conduction. Then the technician moves the transducer across your belly. Abdominal ultrasounds are usually performed with the patient's bladder full. This helps produce the sharpest images possible. Abdominal fetal ultrasounds are usually used during the latter parts of your pregnancy.
Can an Ultrasound Cause Harmful Side Effects?
Ultrasounds are considered extremely safe. They have been used routinely in gynecology and obstetrics since the 1950s. Unlike traditional x-rays, there is no radiation exposure with this test.

Remembrest thou that silent, starry floor,
Or thrones of ember, song, and silver light?
Recallest thou that bright empyrean shore,
And sphere-song that reproves the blackest night?
How art thou fallen from this sorr'wing sky
O Lucifer, thou morning star and son
Of that bright glory forfeited, to fly
In proud rebellion earliest begun.
For thou in fatal flight didst fall to earth--
As Icharus, his waxy wings diswed--
No child of life, no son of mortal birth
But ashen babe of feral fires fed.
Lamb child, far from thy long forgotten home
How long in solemn darkness needst thou roam?
This sonnet is based loosely on Isaiah 14:12. One of the things that I am most excited about this semester in terms of literary content is trying to understand Lucifer better through Paradise Lost. Does God love him? Do we love him, and should we? On my mission, I cringed a little when an old man prayed for Satan, but I wonder if he was not so far from truth: "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" (Matt 5:44).

A recent announcement from Bethesda entails bad news for Steam fans. Their newest installment, Fallout 76, will not be available on Steam.
Bethesda has released that they have developed their own platform called Bethesda.net, and their flagship game will be Fallout 76. This is probably to dodge the 30% cut Valve's platform Steam requires to put their games on their platform.
"The B.E.T.A. will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and on PC (via Bethesda.net),"Here is a link to the Bethesda.net F.A.Q. page that confirms the prompt to create a Bethesda.net account for the B.E.T.A."
Now, before people start rioting, please remember that previous Bethesda titles were not available on Steam at launch. For example, Bethesda's recent game, Fallout Shelter, took almost a year to enter the Steam library. Not to mention almost the entirety of their library is currently available on Steam, so with that information it should just be a matter of time.
There seems to be a trend of gaming companies directing away from Steam these days though (Origin, Epic Games, Battle.net and Uplay). It was only a matter of time before the creative giant Bethesda joined the ranks. Do we really want another platform to download to play a single game? Sure it's only one extra click, but sometimes that is just enough for people to not want to buy something.
Will this be the major hit to Steam's wallet? Probably not. But if more and more companies ship away their AAA games to their own unique platforms, we might be seeing a new face of PC gaming. The question is how long will Steam be the place for games if they are not housing the top games at launch? Only time will tell.
As we learn more we'll keep you updated right here on Mammoth Gamers.

Park: Vox Clamantis
A case for not being afraid to say it the way it is.
"Hey, how are you?" "I'm good!" "How was your off term?" "It was really nice. It feels good to be back though." "That's good. Grab a meal?" "Yes! What's your class schedule?" "I have a 10, an 11 and a 3B." "How about lunch after 11s next Wednesday?" "Sure!"
We never grabbed that meal. Social interactions are my favorite part of the day, but I spent my first week back at Dartmouth after my off term in a full daze, overcome with homesickness and anxiety about running into familiar faces.
After a couple of awkward "hellos" and halfhearted hugs, I realized that I was wasting my time. I had missed Dartmouth during my time away; I missed my friends so much that I was counting down the days until I'd be back. This surprised me, given that I had left school for the winter both emotionally drained and mentally unwhole.
At Dartmouth, surrounded by people who are much smarter, much more successful, much more beautiful and much more privileged than I am, my sense of inadequacy was eating me alive. There were other concerns that stood in the way of my happiness at Dartmouth as well, such as family problems that had gotten exponentially worse from freshman year onward. I always thought of myself as a strong person, but at times I felt anything but. Yet some of my lowest points at Dartmouth taught me that weakness is not the absence of strength — it's your body's way of telling you that your mind is stretched to the extent of snapping.
And so, a few days into this term, I made an executive decision. I was going to tell people how I felt; I was going to tell people how happy I was to see them. I was not going to be afraid of how I would be presenting myself to them when they saw me. The term immediately got better; I realized it was because I no longer feared showing too much and making a fool of myself.
"Annika, good to see you!" "Hey! Oh my god, I missed you so much!" "How was your off term?" "It was nice to be home, but it got really stressful after a while. Spending every moment after work with my parents was a little tough. Work was fun; I learned a lot and got to work on a couple of my weaknesses, like attention to detail, but I'm not sure if I'd ever want to work a nine-to-five job again. We'll see about that." "Yeah, I totally feel that. My job was so stressful, but it was definitely nice to be home." "By the way, you look good. Like, really really good." (Here, there's usually an awkward laughter when the person is taken aback by what I just said.) "Thanks. You do too."
It's astonishing how much sadness pervades a college as idyllic as Dartmouth. In an activity my sorority ran during sophomore summer, each sister received a jar of compliments that other sisters in the house filled for them. Most of mine were about the big smile I greet everyone with, how fun I am at parties, how I manage to go on runs every day and how put together I look on a daily basis. This was during a time when I barely made it to class, ate less than one meal a day and lay strung out on my couch every night, half asleep, half awake, pushed to my breaking point.
I can't say that I am better, but I can attest with confidence that I have more moments when I feel better than I did before. This came from one realization: I cannot blame my friends, my sorority or my school for not being there for me when I did not make the effort to let them know that I was tired, hurt and sick.
Don't be afraid. Spit it out. Don't hold it in. Go for the hug. Are you angry? Are you tired? Are you sick? We're here for you. I'm here for you – but we can only be here for you if you let us know. So Dartmouth – tell us how you feel.
"How was your day?" "Really terrible." "Same. Come here, let me give you a hug."

The Arby's French Dip & Swiss has been around for years. Served on a nice hoagie-style bun and accompanied by a hot cup of au jus, this is a great alternative lunch choice for burger fans looking for an anti-burger.
Like the Reuben, the sandwich comes in a regular size and a version with double meat. However, Arby's was promoting 33% more meat on the regular sandwich, so it makes you wonder how thin the sandwich was to begin with.
As you can see, the regular sandwich is meaty, cheesy and mouth-watering (thanks to the aforementioned au jus dip). I had no trouble managing this sandwich as a base meal item. It's neither too big nor too small. I found it satisfying and tasty, the way I expect Arby's roast beef to taste. I wonder if I could get the dip with any sandwich. The Beef N' Cheddar would probably taste awesome with it.

Out of Circulation
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Miranda James
Narrated By: Erin Bennett
Publisher: Tantor Media
Date: April 2014
Duration: 8 hours 12 minutes
The Ducote sisters are in a tiff with Vera Cassity over the location of this year's library fundraising gala, and Charlie would rather curl up in a corner than get into the fray. It seems everyone-even his housekeeper Azalea-has it in for Vera. And at the gala, she gives them good reason, with a public display of rancor aimed at anyone who gets in her way.
But those bitter words wind up being her last. When Charlie discovers Azalea standing over Vera's dead body, it's up to him-with a little help from Diesel-to clear Azalea's name, and catch a killer before his last chapter is finished.

With year-end fast approaching and budgets front of mind, PRgloo is on hand to help comms managers make the easy choice when it comes to reviewing contracts and other subscriptions.
Heck, with all the work our developers have been doing to make PRgloo a one-stop shop for delivering all your communications needs, we might even be able to save you some dosh, by doing away with some of your other subscriptions altogether.
We've got a stack of new tools on the PRgloo platform, including tools to replace Mailchimp, tools to help with social media scheduling and of course our fantastic template and bespoke newsrooms.
But our No 1 complaint from potential new clients interested in moving over to the PRgloo platform is the draconian contract lock-in periods of some providers. Here at PRgloo we don't have any silly tricks like lock-in contracts. Instead, we take care of all data migration so you don't have to and we're happy to buy customers out of their existing contracts. With a 97% retention rate we're happy to make that investment in you.
"I've worked with numerous systems from using clunky spreadsheets through to other media platforms and PRgloo is by far my platform of choice.
"It's simple to use, sleek in design and captures everything I need in one easy to use system. From logging calls, creating briefing notes, drafting lines to take, disseminating press releases to journalists, newsletters to stakeholders, linking press cuttings and creating performance reports, it really is a one-stop-comms shop.
And best of all is the service. I've previously had the experience of signing up to providers who promptly disappear once the contract is signed, and then when you try to move on, you get trapped in ridiculously lengthy lock-in periods. In contrast, the team at PRgloo are super responsive and just generally make my life easier. They took the hassle out of moving across to their platform. Nothing is too difficult for them and best of all they take onboard any feedback to continually enhance and improve the platform. I for one can't wait to try the new social media tools."
Here's a little video of PRgloo in action and it is also worth mentioning the fantastic reviews PRgloo has received from its customers which does see us scoring highly in customer satisfaction.

Mark Wahlberg Trains For and Helps To Cast "The Fighter"
By Scott Feinberg
hollywoodnews.com: I just stumbled upon several YouTube clips that feature Mark Wahlberg – the Oscar-nominated actor ('The Departed') and TV producer ('Entourage' and 'In Treatment') – during various stages of his preparation to play boxing great 'Irish' Micky Ward (1965-) in David O. Russell's 'The Fighter' (Paramount, 12/10), the 2010 film that I'm most excited about.
Wahlberg, who is also a producer on the film, regarded Ward as a one of his childhood heroes, and seems born to play the part – both men came out of rough neighborhoods in Boston, overcame personal problems, and went on to achieve international fame. Wahlberg, who will appear in a much lighter role this summer opposite Will Ferrell in 'The Other Guys' (Columbia, 8/6), was also recently the subject of an admiring New York Times profile . I really think that this might be his year.

You're a girl you're 18 you finally move out of the grudges of ( what country you live in) and decided to move to Ireland!! You ask a famous youtuber good ol' Jackaboy to help ya out he quickly responded with " yeah were ya planning to go?" You told him you wanted to know a good apartment complex to move to he said his is good but much preferred the old cabin he once lived in. You say that in a couple days you will meet up and find a spot. Then it all went to a blank slate and this happened...
Irish man Jackaboy
You wait in the airport for no more than a minute or so then Sean is there."Hey are you Y/N?" "Y...yeah it's me..." You say nervously you've never been so close to a youtuber before and you were so nervous but you liked him! He brought you to his car and he (not very surprisingly) blasted music you honestly don't care you are just blank thinking "will he think I'm stupid?!!??" Over and over again. Then he shouts Over the music " Here is my building. " you quickly pick the closest one to Sean's. "This one." You say after the tour of the place. Then he says to you "Welcome to Bossville."
A date in the life of Jack
A couple weeks after you moved in Sean started to get closer to you as a friend you would play games together watch movies together you to were BFFS and you enjoyed it so much that he talked you into starting a YouTube channel and it was pretty good until you found...SHIPPERS there were thousands of videos of you and Sean there were tons of fan fictions!! All Jack said was "At least Septiplier is over!" To you it feels like he wants you two together like he... "Oh forget it that's silly!" You shout and hear it echo through the house. Then there is a knock at the door its Jack and he asks you out "Sure I'd love to go with you!" You shout excitedly. You quickly dress and do your makeup. You wear a simple (a color) dress. Then you go in search of the heart of a boss...

The NBA heart-throb Shaquille O'Neal is not a novice when it comes to superhero films. He played the lead role in 1997 movie Steel which was much before the superhero films became a dominant force at the box-office. O'Neal is now again keen to act in a superhero movie, and expressed his wish to battle Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. in an Avengers movie as well as to be a part of a Steel reboot.
"I would love to be in one of the Avengers movies," O'Neal told Entertainment Weekly. "I would like to kick Robert Downey Jr.'s ass." However, O'Neal didn't specify whether he had any particular hero or villain's character in mind that he is keen to play.
O'Neal also shared his thoughts on Steel and how he wishes to get a remake done. "It was an awesome opportunity," O'Neal said. "However, I'd like to redo it and get some of these 2018 special effects."
Steel was written and directed by The Bionic Woman maker Kenneth Johnson, and it was based on the DC character John Henry Irons as his alter-ego called Steel. The film was a critical and box-office failure, and it managed to earn only $1.7 million against a $16 million budget. It was one of the first films to feature a Black superhero.
O'Neal is a basketball Hall of Famer and sports analyst. He has produced four rap albums and acted in some films, many of which were made during his NBA days. O'Neal was also a major part of the 1990's video game Shaq Fu, which is generally considered to be one of the worst games ever. O'Neal recently gave voice for Karma in 2017's Show dogs.


text: Waiting for a person to come in my life and changing it for good does not seem to ever happen to me. That's why I have to be happy and positive about everything if I still hope to have a little happiness in my. it's sad when they tease me about being single because I am a sensitive guy and I feel like I'm not a normal person when they make me feel like I do not be anything good going for myself. I choose to be stronger now so that I might be able to give a little more to myself. I do not want to fail over and over again because people do not love me. I want to be given the opportunity to have fun and be happy about the kind of situation that I am in. right now it feels like I have no one who is a little bit concerned about me and the kind of situation that I am but that is all about to change especially when I've just spotted a person that might be able to give me the feeling that I have been chasing for a very long time. Waiting for a girl is not what I want to do right now. I will take the initiative and look harder than I did before. It was very good that I made this decision because of it I have finally gotten the chance to be with a person that would most like give me all the fun time that I could ever ask for. she is a Leyton escort from https://charlotteaction.org/leyton-escorts and I'm glad that I'm starting to be close with her, although in the past I can't seem to have found a reason to be happy things are different now that I have meet this lovely Leyton escort. I want to be happy and spend more and more time chasing her just because she is a different person than I was used to. I thought that her charms really work on me because it only took me one minute of talking to this Leyton escort when I was able to know that I love her already. I am not a childish person and I do not want to play any games in my life. So I have to deal with this lovely girl and make the most out of every second that I am with her. There is no way for me to be giving up on her at all because it would be the worst decision that I might do in this lifetime. I already realise that there is always going to be more and more people who is willing to help me out if I just do the right thing. That's why I feel so hopeful about the situation that this Leyton escort have given me. I can feel like she has the key to the life that I want to have. That's why it would be a great mistake for me to take her for granted without any doubt.

Now Penny was not even on my radar and I am really wondering why at this point since so many used her but I honestly don't even remember her being listed on my sheet I think I somehow skipped over her completely.
@SueDenim, love your sims name. Factotum = Jack of all trades, does it not? My sim started as a writer so I called her Cristy Agatha Scrivener. I put as much thought into their names as I do anything else. Id probably do a lot better on the actual challenges if I didnt spend so much time getting my sims names and appearances right, lol.

On Sunday 28April, seven of the world's best Italian chefs, Massimo Bottura, the brothers Enrico and Roberto Cerea, Carlo Cracco, Gennaro Esposito, Luciano Monosilio and, gathered at Harrods's The Georgian restaurant to give diners what could only be described as the 'Lunch of a Lifetime. Together, they brought 13 Michelin stars under one roof, and a menu featuring seven courses, including Davide Scabin's innovative 'Pasta Shake' and Luciano Monosilio's legendary carbonara, Massimo Bottura's 'Psychedelic Veal' and Enrico and Roberto Cerea's elaborate dessert buffet. The wine served alongside this delectable culinary event was, of course, destined to be of equal stature…
Having produced wines for over four hundred years, today the Allegrini Estate is one of the most dynamic and well-known wine producers in Italy and abroad. Its roots lie in Fumane di Valpolicella where, in 1854, the Azienda Agricola was founded and headed, over subsequent decades, by consecutive generations of the Allegrini Family.
Set in the Valpolicella Classico area, the Allegrini Estate extends for some 100 hectares (247 acres); these parcels are the cradle of highly prestigious cru wines such as La Grola, Palazzo della Torre and La Poja and the birthplace of Amarone, a star in the constellation of great Italian red wines.
Presented at IdentitàLondon, The first vintage of Allegrini's La Grola wine was released in 1983, with its anniversary taking place this year, 2013. On the occasion of this anniversary, 7000 bottles of Allegrini's La Grola 2010 were been adorned with a special label, created by Milo Manara, one of Italy's best-loved Comic-Strip artists, which evokes the local legends from which it takes its name.
In local legends, a peasant farmer who, hitherto had not had any luck with grapes on his very unproductive vineyard on La Grola hill in the Valpolicella region, nursed a wounded crow and was miraculously rewarded for his kindness with round, juicy and very dark grapes.
Milo Manara's playful rendition of the story is in the trademark style of his most popular art pieces, which feature attractive women with voluptuous pouts and gorgeous figures. With this is mind, the partnership between Allegrini and Manara could not be more appropriate – with Allegrini wines known for being delectably indulgent, full-bodied and beautiful to drink.
In addition to the specially labelled bottles, Allegrini celebrated La Grola's 30 year anniversary with a tasting event at Michelin star restaurant The River Café, situated on the banks of the River Thames, London, on 9 May 2013, which was followed by an exclusive lunch which was paired with Allegrini's Poggio al Tesoro and San Polo.
Most recently, on 14 May 2013, Allegrini celebrated a Silver medal award at The International Wine Challenge 2013, for the Sondraia 2009 of their company Poggio al Treasury of Bolgheri.

Millions of people today want to lose weight and get fit. No matter what your motivation may be, you'll want to explore the various programs that are getting a lot of publicity today. Not all of them are going to give you the same results, but some of them may in fact help you gain a foothold in the transition from where you are now and the body you've always wanted. You may want to look into search terms like "weight lose program" and things like that, just to ensure you are covering all the bases. There are a few things that may help you narrow down your search, which can easily turn into an arduous task if you're not careful.
First and foremost, you will want to make sure that you look for something that is going to be feasible for you. Not everyone needs to go to the extreme, for example, so make sure that you have a clear idea of what you want to pursue and what may not work for you. To further explain this, think about what some people go through to lose weight. They spend hours on end in the gym, and make sure to eat only a small morsel here and there. If that doesn't sound like something favorable, then don't do it. Find something else.
Don't let anything that you find make you lose sight of your goals. Some people find a plan that seems to work for a short time and then give up when results stop. Not every diet that you go on is going to have you losing a tremendous amount of weight forever. There is a tipping point where the results start to take longer and longer to manifest. That doesn't mean that you should give up, it's just something to consider when you're amidst trying out different programs.
When all else fails and you're not sure what it's going to take to lose weight, perhaps it's time to find out what your friends, family and coworkers are doing. You may be surprised by what they tell you. Emulating their approach may be the one way to unlock a true weight loss program for your needs. Just remember, if you don't find something immediately, that's OK. Take your time, as you may find something that works for you, and not the whole world. Eating right, exercising, and actually sticking to it takes time, so don't beat yourself up if you can't make a change in 24 hours.

Rob Kardashian Posts Strange Meme Of Blac Chyna
I am getting a headache trying to keep up with the, ahem, Kardashians. It seems like every day there is some new drama to be added to their family and based on the past few days, it looks like Rob Kardashian is finally ready to step out of the shadows to stir up some gossip of his own. On Monday, E! reported that Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are dating, but that doesn't come without some drama, because of the fact that Kylie Jenner is dating Chyna's former fiancé Tyga, and the fued the Kardashian family has been involved in before with both Chyna and her BFF Amber Rose. To add some more fuel to the fire, on Tuesday, Rob posted a meme of Blac Chyna, seeming to poke fun at the situation, but actually making everything even more confusing.
The meme Rob posted jokes that Chyna is already preparing to have the only Kardashian baby who will carry on the family name. The text next to a photo of Chyna reads, "Blac Chyna probably out shopping rite now as she plan to give birth to the only next generation of the Kardashian name! #BabyKardashian."
Hmm, very interesting. The only caption Rob added to the photo is four shamrocks emoji, one of which was also in the original caption on Blac Chyna's Instagram post with Rob's tattooed arm. This is obviously some sort of inside joke between the two, but I can't decide what their intentions are, besides just looking for attention.
Or maybe Rob just really just doesn't care what anyone thinks anymore at this point? I want him to be happy and find love just as much as any other fan of the famous family, but you'd think maybe reaching beyond your little sisters messy boyfriend's ex-baby momma (still with me?) would be a better choice. I immediately wondered what Kylie could be thinking of this whole thing? Well, being that this family loves social media so much, she reportedly posted and then deleted another very confusing post regarding her brother.
According to a fan account that reposted the supposed Instagram, Kylie posted a drawing of some demon looking thing and said it was Rob, which seemed pretty harsh but fitting, considering she is still dating Tyga, who is Chyna's ex. In another confusing twist, readers claimed they caught a comment from Rob on Kylie's post reading, "Yo I'm dying," with pained looking emojis. Was he in on the joke or does he just not even care? Factor in all of the interwoven dramas between Blac Chyna and Kim Kardashian and Tyga and Khloé Kardashian and the fact that Chyna's best friend Amber Rose dated Kanye West and you have a recipe for a disaster.
At this point, I think it is impossible to truly understand why this family does what they do. And Rob's always posting Instagrams and deleting them, so we probably will never hear anything more concrete from him. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if there's another Kardashian baby in the future...

Expected to soar 118 metres high, Brisbane-based ARIA Property Group has submitted a new development application for a residential tower with one of the world's tallest man-made waterfalls for 77 Hope Street in South Brisbane, designed by Koichi Takada Architects. The landmark project will be delivered alongside a 1500 square metre community park, Brisbane's first inner-city public park of its size in more than 20 years.
The publicly accessible park will feature subtropical landscaping, feature lighting, seating, public art, and audio integration allowing for public events, festivals and live performances. The park adjoins South Brisbane's flagship laneway Fish Lane. The laneway recently received the State Award for Urban Design, with the jury noting that the laneway project was "a demonstration of what is possible when once-forgotten city spaces are loved and valued".
Aria Property Group's Design Manager Simon White said that the park would deliver significant community benefit, turning an old car park into a safe, dynamic and inclusive open space for all to enjoy. The park will be delivered in two stages with the first stage anticipated to open to the public in May 2019, and the second stage being delivered alongside Aria's approved residential building on Hope Street. "More than half of the ground floor of the building is also publicly accessible, offering retail amenity, recreation spaces and additional parkland, highlighting our commitment to community activation and delivering the final piece of the Fish Lane puzzle," said Simon.
Recently approved by Brisbane City Council, the striking architecturally designed building features 216 residential apartments crowned by a water wall cascading from the 50 metre rooftop lap pool. Designed by world-renowned water feature specialists Wet Design, the water wall aptly named Marvel moves down a glass facade, captivating passers-by with its continuous moving texture, accentuated by glistening lights. Spanning the entire height of the building, a thin sheet of water theatrically cascades from the infinity-edge rooftop pool to the ground floor lobby on Hope Street. "It is essentially a series of linked internal and external water walls, running down angled pieces of textured glass to maximise the visual effect while minimising water loss," said Simon. "Our water wall is specifically designed to ensure the relatively small quantities of water physically stick to the glass panels, emphasising the effect of water slowly falling down the façade of the building. This design is unlike a traditional freefall waterfall or the Chinese skyscraper reported on recently which appears to have thousands of litres of water continuously gushing out horizontally, spilling into the streets or evaporating into the atmosphere."
Despite the proposed water wall operating for 18 hours a day and regardless of weather conditions, the power usage is estimated to be a fraction of the Chinese example as the quantity of water being pumped vertically is less than 250 litres per cycle which requires small and low power usage pumps. The water will be harvested from rainwater and stored in a rooftop water tank where it will be recirculated continuously through the system, with no town water required.
A national Design Competition for the project was awarded to Koichi Takada Architects with the winning design drawing inspiration from Queensland's rainforests and sub-tropical climate and embracing BCC's 'Buildings that Breathe' guidelines. The concept also boasts endless hanging gardens and overflowing planters that flow down the sides of the building.
Located on Hope Street in South Brisbane, the estimated $150 million project is anticipated to start construction late 2019.

Doris, a young woman from the Wayuu tribe in Colombia, sees her dead cousin in her dreams. Her spirit complains that she hasn't been able to experience peace since her tragic death—and her equally tragic life, which ended with a hasty burial—so she asks for a second funeral. In order to ensure that her cousin's soul can rest in peace, Doris must exhume her body, carry out a shamanic ritual with the tribal elders and only then bury her again. Having decided to take on the challenge, she sets off through the desert to find her cousin's grave. Along the way, she encounters the dead just as often as the living. The images and sounds from the beyond that the protagonist sees and hears appear in the form of whispers and screams, blinding light and thick darkness, empty spaces and unfinished dialogue. Lapü is a disturbing, sensual record of one of the most bizarre rituals to be found among Colombia's natives. Women have traditionally taken on the responsibility of exhuming the dead and preparing their second funeral. This is the moment when they enter adulthood, a period of life not demarcated by a physiological change, such as menstruation or childbirth, but by the acquisition of spiritual skills: seeing parallel forms of life and ridding themselves of their fear of death.

Earthquakes can cause a mild to violent shock and can occur anytime, anywhere. This guide can help you protect your family, your property and yourself before, during and after an earthquake.
WHAT: An earthquake is the sudden, rapid shaking of the earth, caused by the breaking and shifting of subterranean rock as it releases strain that has accumulated over a long time. Initial mild shaking may strengthen and become extremely violent within seconds. Additional earthquakes, called aftershocks, may occur for hours, days, or even months. Most are smaller than the initial earthquake but larger magnitude after shocks also occur.
WHEN: Earthquakes can happen at any time of the year and occur without warning.
WHERE: All the Mexican Republic is at some risk for earthquakes. The risk is higher in identified seismic zones.
IMPACT: Larger earthquakes may cause deaths, injuries, and extensive property damage. Most casualties and injuries during an earthquake occur when: people fall while trying to walk or run during the shaking; when they are hit by falling, flying, or sliding household items or non-structural debris; and/or when they are struck or trapped by collapsing walls or other parts of the building. Transportation, power, water, gas, and other services may be disrupted. In some areas, shaking can cause liquefaction— when the ground acts more like a liquid. When this happens the ground can no longer support the weight of a building. In coastal areas, earthquakes under the sea floor can cause tsunamis.
Although there is no advance notice of an earthquake, emergency information will be provided immediately after through radio and TV broadcasts and via Wireless Emergency Alerts texted to cell phones. In addition to commercial radios, there are government and official offices which provide live status through Twitter and Facebook accounts (e.g. @SPCCDMX, @SegobCDMX), as well as smartphones apps like "SkyAlert" that notifies you depending of the situation.
Your family may not be together when an earthquake hits, so it is important to know how you will contact one another and how you will get back together in case of an emergency. Landline and cellular phone systems are often overwhelmed following a disaster, so you may need to use text messaging or social media to communicate with family and friends. Keep important numbers written down in your wallet in case you cannot access the contact list in your phone.
Protect yourself Before an Earthquake
To prevent potential injuries, take the time to secure your space. Secure items that might fall, fly, or slide in an earthquake. Imagine if the room was picked up and shaken up and down and side to side and then determine what items would be thrown around. Periodically review the locations where you spend time—your home, workplace, or school—to look for potential hazards and secure them.
Cabinet doors can fly open allowing contents to crash to the floor; secure them with latches.
Objects such as framed photos, books, lamps, and other items that you keep on shelves and tables can become flying hazards. Secure them with hooks, adhesives, or earthquake putty to keep them in place. Move heavy or breakable items to lower shelves.
Mirrors, pictures frames, and other hanging items should be secured to the wall with closed hooks or earthquake putty. Do not hang heavy objects over beds, sofas, or any place you may be seated.
Electronics such as computers, televisions, and microwave ovens are heavy and expensive to replace. Secure them with flexible nylon straps.
Bookcases, filing cabinets, china cabinets, and other tall furniture should be anchored to wall studs, (not drywall), or masonry. Use flexible straps that allow them to sway without falling to the floor.
Secure your water heater, refrigerator, and other major appliances with the appropriate straps screwed into the wall studs or masonry to help keep them from falling over and rupturing gas or electric connections. Gas appliances should have flexible connectors to absorb the shaking while reducing the risk of fire.
Take the time now to collect the emergency supplies you would need if the power was out, water supplies were cut off, and grocery stores were not open. You can build your supplies over time by adding a few items as your budget permits. Basic emergency supplies should include the following, most of which you probably already have in your home.
WATER – Ensure you have at least 1 gallon of water per person per day for at least 3 days. (Store a longer than 3-day supply of water, if possible). An average person needs to drink about 3/4 of a gallon of fluid daily. Individual needs vary depending on age, gender, health, level of activity, food choices, and climate. You may also need stored water for food preparation.
FOOD – Store at least a 3-day supply of non-perishable food for members of your household, including pets. Consider special dietary needs (e.g., infant formula). Include a non-electric can opener for canned food.
FLASHLIGHT, RADIO, and CELL PHONE CHARGER – You will need to be able to charge these items without electricity. Your flashlight and radio should be either hand-cranked or battery-powered, and stored with extra batteries. Your cell phone charger should be hand-crank, solar, or able to be charged from a car outlet.
MEDICAL – Include first aid kit, prescription and non-prescription/over-the-counter medications, and medical supplies.
SANITATION – Pack supplies for sanitation, such as hand sanitizer, towelettes, paper products, and plastic bags, for use when water resources are limited.
ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY – Include battery backup power for power-dependent mobility devices, oxygen, and other assistive technology needs.
CLOTHING AND BLANKETS – Ensure you have clothing with long sleeves and long pants, thick-soled shoes, and work gloves to protect yourself after the earthquake, and a sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person, if you live in a cold-weather climate.
WHISTLE – Include a whistle to signal for help.
CASH – Store cash in case ATMs are not functioning after the earthquake.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER – Earthquakes can cause fires to break out; have a fire extinguisher so you can put out any small fires. Use a fire extinguisher only if you are physically capable
Consider storing supplies in several locations if possible. This means having basic supplies of food and water in locations, including your workplace, your vehicle, and, if possible, other places you and members of your household regularly spend time (e.g., house of worship, community center, and school). It is important to consider the unique needs of your family, including access and functional needs, and the needs of children and pets. You may need to include: extra water; special food, such as infant formula or pet food; and supplies or equipment, such as diapers, glasses, or medical equipment.
Protect yourself During an Earthquake
During an earthquake, minimize your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place. If you are indoors, stay there until the shaking has stopped and you are sure it is safe to exit.
DROP to your hands and knees.
COVER your head and neck with your arms. This position protects you from falling and provides some protection for vital organs. Because moving can put you in danger from the debris in your path, only move if you need to get away from the danger of falling objects. If you can move safely, crawl for additional cover under a sturdy desk or table. If there is low furniture, or an interior wall or corner nearby and the path is clear, these may also provide some additional cover. Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture.
HOLD ON to any sturdy shelter until the shaking stops.
DO NOT run outside! STAY where you are until the shaking stops. DO NOT get in a doorway as this does not provide protection from falling or flying objects and you likely will not be able to remain standing.
If you can, move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the open, Drop, Cover, and Hold On. STAY THERE until the shaking stops. This might not be possible in a city, so you may need to duck inside a building to avoid falling debris.
If you are in bed: STAY there and COVER your head and neck with a pillow. At night, hazards and debris are difficult to see and avoid; attempts to move in the dark result in more injuries than remaining in bed.
It is difficult to control a vehicle during the shaking so stop as quickly and safely as possible, and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires. Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that the earthquake may have damaged.
Protect yourself After an Earthquake
Once the shaking has stopped, wait a minute before getting up and then look around for debris or other dangers. If you are able to safely move to exit the building and there is an open space to go to, exit the building and avoid damaged areas and downed power lines. For buildings in metropolitan areas that do not have nearby open space, it may be safer to remain in the building until you are certain you will avoid additional glass and debris that may fall from nearby buildings. Remember aftershocks may cause further damage to weakened structures and present hazards to those exiting buildings.
Monitor local news reports (battery-operated radio, TV, and cell phone text alerts) for emergency information and instructions.
If you are in a damaged building and there is a safe way out through the debris, leave and go to an open space outside. If you can do so safely, take a moment to take what you might need immediately and can carry easily, such as a purse or go bag. Once outside, do not re-enter until the building is certified to be safe.
Check for injuries and provide assistance if you have training. Assist with rescues if you can do this safely.
If you are near the coast, learn the tsunami risk for your area. If you are in an area that may experience tsunamis, when the shaking stops, walk inland or to higher ground immediately. Monitor official reports for more information on the area's tsunami evacuation plans.
If you are trapped, do not move about or kick up dust. Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust. Use your cell phone to call or text for help. Tap on a pipe or wall, or use a whistle, if available, so rescuers can locate you.
Stay away from damaged areas. Never use a lighter or matches near damaged areas. Check for and extinguish small fires.
Have your utilities inspected by qualified professionals for damage to electrical system, sewage, gas, and water lines.
If your home has been damaged and is no longer safe, and you need a place to stay, text SHELTER + your zip code to 43362 (4FEMA) to find the nearest public shelter in your area. A sample text would be SHELTER 12345. Follow local media for information on shelters.
Protect yourself After an Earthquake
Earthquakes can destroy or make buildings and roads unsafe.
Use extreme caution around debris. Do not attempt to remove heavy debris by yourself and assist with rescues only if you can do so safely.
Wear protective clothing, including long-sleeved shrit, long pants, work gloves, and sturdy, thick- soled shoes durin clean-up. These will protect you from further injury from broken glass, exposed nails, or other objects.
Do no touch electrical equipment if it is wet or you are standing in water.
If you smell gas, call the emergency services.
Photograph or take video of damage to your property to assist with filing an insurance claim.
Know that wis will be an emotional time and it is normal to feel a little blue. Seek help for yourself or others if depression or anxiety persists or seems out of proportion for the circumstances.
Expect aftershocks. There additional earthquakes are usually less violent than the main quake, but can be strong enough to further damage weakened structures. They can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. Be ready to protect yourself.

So hopes Richard Dutcher, whose film "God's Army" virtually created LDS cinema after delighting audiences in 2000.
Dutcher, a frequent critic since then of LDS films, doesn't hate Mormon movies; he just expects more from them.
"I am a firm supporter of LDS filmmakers," Dutcher said, sitting in a conference room at his Main Street Movie Co. in Provo. "I want them to make better films than I am seeing."
He wants Mormon filmmakers to evolve and chronicle the majesty and power of LDS culture, history and doctrine, just as he tried with "God's Army," "Brigham City" and "States of Grace."

Rumour that Microsoft (MSFT) would attempt to get its new console on to the market ahead of the Sony (SNE) PlayStation 4 is not true.
Yesterday Kotaku received a tip of from a source at a marketing company linked to Wal-Mart (WMT) that Microsoft were intending to release the Xbox One at midnight on the 8th of November. An official release date has not yet been given for the new console, other than it will be sometime in November, and with the Sony PlayStation 4 scheduled for the 15th it looked like Microsoft were aiming to get the drop on their main competitor.
Today however Kotaku reported that a source close to Microsoft 'expect(s) the console at a date later than November 8', with no indication as to when that might be.
GameStop (GME) CEO Paul Raines has predicted the 'Largest Console Launch in History' this November. The PlayStation 4 will price at $399 while the Xbox one will come in at $499 and at the moment Sony seem to be leading in the pre order tables. PlayStation 4 pre-orders are already greater than initial sales of the PlayStation 3 when it launched in 2006 and while you can still get an Xbox One on Amazon (AMZN) it is no longer possible to pre-order the PlayStation 4.
Shares in Sony have doubled from $10 to $20 since the start of the year on strong sales forecasts for its next gen console where Microsoft has had a tougher time, lifting above $30 a share in April for the first time in half a year and getting a slight boost recently on the news that CEO Steve Ballmer will step down in the next year.

Artificial limbs project to benefit hundreds
RUNDU - The Indian High Commission along with the Ministry of Health and Social Services officially launched a six-week camp which is providing prosthetic limbs popularly known as Jaipur Foot for free in Rundu in Kavango East. The six-week project started on September 17.
"We would like to continue with this foot camps in whatever region in Namibia. We are here today and we are here tomorrow," said the High Commissioner of India to Namibia Prashant Agrawal, during the official event that will see over 500 people get free artificial limbs.
Jaipur Foot project aims at providing artificial limbs to the Namibian population who are in need of these appliances. The project is a collaboration between the Indian High Commission and the government of the Republic of Namibia towards social progression.
The free camp targets people who have lost their limbs due to motor-vehicle accidents, diabetes, explosives, snakebites and others. The idea is to fit prosthetic limbs to people with disabilities either above the knee or below as well as below the elbow.
"According to WHO the non-communicable conditions, that may cause physical disabilities such as high blood pressure, diabetes, motor vehicle accidents just to mention a few are on the rise, therefore the need is bigger and we appreciate the kind gesture from our sister government of India. I'm humbly appealing to the beneficiaries of the assertive devices to make the best utilisation and also consult the available orthopaedic technical staff for maintenance, repairs when needed," said Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services Julieta Kavetuna, who read a statement on behalf of health minister Kalumbi Shangula.
"Last but not least, allow me to wholeheartedly welcome the Indian experts to Namibia and appreciate the much-needed orthopaedic technical services support they would deliver to the Namibian people," she said.

The team will also need to organise some awareness events during the Dementia Action Week which runs from 21st to 27th May.
Anyone interested in helping, either as member of the DAA or in other ways, please contact me on 01235 525955 or email@example.com.

LAPLUME, Pa. – Sophomore first baseman Kevin Haag (Ossining, N.Y./Ossining/Bridgton Academy) drove in four runs and freshman left fielder Connor Harding (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal Central) made a diving catch that saved two runs to help The University of Scranton baseball team defeat Muhlenberg, 5-4, on Tuesday at Keystone College's Christy Mathewson Field.
Haag had the key blow at the plate, slamming a two-run double in the bottom of the seventh that broke a 3-3 tie. His shot to deep left-center field drove in senior center fielder Tommy Trotter (Cranford, N.J./Cranford) and sophomore shortstop Travis Adams (Clark, N.J./St. Joseph's), who had both singled with one out.
Haag's go-ahead hit wouldn't have been possible if not for Harding's tremendous defensive play only moments earlier. Muhlenberg (7-9) used a single and a walk to put runners on first and second with two outs, and Mules' designated hitter Jon Capra followed by lacing a line drive down the left field line. But Harding got a good jump on the ball and made a diving catch, snagging the ball just before it landed for the final out of the inning.
The Royals (7-5) scored in the bottom of the first when Trotter scored the first of his three runs by walking, moving to second on a balk and advancing to third on a ground out. He scored when Haag's shallow pop fly was bobbled by the right fielder before gaining control for the out.
Muhlenberg knotted the score with an unearned run in the top of the third, then took a 3-1 lead with a two-out, two-run double in the top of the fourth. The Royals responded with two runs in the fifth when Trotter singled sharply to center and the ball got past the center fielder, allowing sophomore second baseman Tim Gailor (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield) to scamper all the way home from first. Trotter went to third on the play and scored two batters later on Haag's RBI ground out.
The Mules scored a run in the top of the ninth and had the bases loaded with two outs when junior righty Bryan Carmon (Flemington, N.J./Hunterdon Central) got a swinging strikeout to notch his second save of the season.
Freshman righty Matt Morrow (Bethlehem, Pa./Bethlehem Catholic) got the win with two shutout innings of relief. He gave up two hits and a walk while striking out one. Sophomore righty Zack Papillo (Germantown, Md./Good Counsel) worked the first six innings, allowing three runs, two earned, on seven hits and no walks while striking out one.
Trotter, Harding and Gailor each finished with two hits to pace the offense. Harding also added a stolen base in the victory.
The Royals will be back in action on Thursday when they travel to Elizabethtown, Pa. for a Landmark Conference game against Elizabethtown at 3:30 p.m.

Set the bar too high and you'll break your neck just trying to look at it.
Visions and plans I have aplenty
With resolute steps, I go.
I wish to tread where no man has gone,
I wish to be the first to know.
So much I yearn for greater meaning
For purpose higher, I scrounge afar
Yet, restlessly I writhe in the sand
Like the strings of a plucked guitar
I am harangued by time
Every moment, I hear it mock
As I see the hands move slowly
I feel strangled by the clock
I am a monster, possessed.
The monster, its head does rear
Every time the monstrosity inside me
Becomes too much to bear.
Perhaps, grand ambitions must die
So that I may live in peace
Surely, there's no shame in setting the bar lower
So that you may clear it with ease.

What was I thinking?
Even though Wave 5 was rife with repaints and nothing but repaints (well, except for City Strike Snake Eyes, though he received a second version within weeks), I initially passed on Desert-Viper for the same reasons that I mentioned in my review of the Toys "R" Us Snow Serpent. While the figure certainly seemed neat, it was an environmentally specific figure, and a repaint, two things that held little appeal.
But then I was shopping in Wal-Mart, which has famously dropped their Joe prices to $5.00...and shock of all shocks! My local Wal-Mart actually had some new figures, including the Desert-Viper. I picked him up and brought him home...and was immediately impressed. This figure was pretty damn cool.
Thinking back, I shouldn't have been surprised. I mean, I'm a big fan of the Elite-Viper, which is what this figure is a repaint of. Not only that, but I absolutely love the paint wipe technique that Hasbro has been steadily improving since first bringing them to bear in 2000. Sure this figure is essentially different shades of brown with some black thrown in for good measure, but damn if Hasbro didn't execute it nicely. It looks like a desert operative, caked with desert sand, and bad ass to boot.
I am absolutely in love with the Elite-Viper tooling...I love it in all of the ways that I hate the other Cobra troopers in this line. No problems with clunky knee joints. No issues with oversized gauntlets and restricted arm movements. He looks like a nasty covert ops trooper, yet still has a very nice Cobra feel. If they used this guy as the template to pull their troops from throughout the line, I'd probably be a lot happier than I am with all these wonky Neo-Vipers.
I'm honestly not entirely sure how to talk about the accessories. Hasbro throws a ton of gear in here, but it's pretty hit or miss. The webgear is pulled from the MARS Trooper, and actually works quite nicely. I dig the yellow stripes, which adds some great color without looking too garrish. The backpack is great, and the combination of the scarf and the goggles completely conceals the familiar Elite-Viper head sculpt. But then we get two... axes? And a sword? And Zartan's bizarre knife-rifle? I guess the weapons are all cool and everything, I just can't quite figure out how functional they all are, especially for a fairly specific desert operative. The cool thing about weapons, though, is you can pick and choose, and here, there are plenty to choose from, though I wish he did have a more standard rifle for his primary firearm.
All told, this figure really impressed me and surprised me, which it really shouldn't have. It's a great Rise of Cobra trooper, which are somewhat few and far between, but he'll fill in your Elite-Viper ranks quite nicely and adds some flash to the generic black and silver ranks of your modern Cobra troopers. Not sure I'd recommend jumping into this figure with both feet, considering the repaint nature, and the buckshot accessories, but finding him for $5.00 at Wal-Mart, it's absolutely a worthy purchase. I'm actually on the hunt for a couple more, which is really saying something when you're talking about desert troopers.
