rae sremmurd become the "black beatles."
Every year when I teach my US Popular Music History course at Northwestern, I give myself a challenge: to use whatever the current number one song on the Billboard Top 100 charts is to develop the introductory lecture. Last year it was Adele's "Hello," which led to various themes in the course: gender, technology, virtuosity, Tin Pan Alley songwriting, sentimentalism (and also of course to props for Lionel Richie). This year, the number one song for the second week of January is "Black Beatles" by Rae Sremmurd, a very different kind of song for a very different historical moment after a year of much crisis and change in America and the world.
"Black Beatles" points toward issues of race, gender, region, class, and most of all the more subtle negotiations of cultural politics that travel on the secret frequencies and subtle vibration of pop, always there for tuning in if you wish to do so. Of course, at the same time, it's just another pop song floating up the charts only to fall again into the dustbin—in this case, the song amounts to yet another sonic evocation of a drug-and-alcohol-fueled, fairly (though not entirely) misogynist visit to the nightclub, this one circa 2017. We've been here before. And yet we also are someplace new.
In this way, "Black Beatles" is a richly satisfying song to take on in a popular music history course. It bakes (in multiple senses) a consciousness of said history within its very title, lyrics, and sounds. There's the reference to classic rock by way of the Beatles in the song's very name, of course. Rae Sremmurd's Khalif "Swae Lee" Brown and Aaquil "Slim Jxmmi" Brown, who are brothers, enjoy looking at life by "rockin' John Lennon lenses." There's a nice little "real teaser" of a nod to "Day Tripper" in the lyrics and melody. The video makes even more Beatles references, with a gesture to the Abbey Road album cover, the famous Rooftop Farewell Concert, and other moments of Beatlemania. The video also sports featured rapper Gucci Mane in a Michael Jackson red leather jacket, as if to not only stake a claim to the Fab Four and sixties rock, but also to the King of Pop in the 1980s.
The song is also perhaps an intriguing response to Kanye West's lyric on his 2010 song "Gorgeous" on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, "what's a black Beatle anyway, a fucking roach?" With its (Kanye-inspired?) eerie synth sounds and reedy, edgy, confessional, morning-after vocal chorus, "Black Beatles" plays up the doubts, maybe even the regrets, of the male hip-hop playa even as it celebrates and brags about that role. This protagonist might in fact be feeling low, like a roach, by his behavior, even as he also asserts the pleasures of his immoral behavior. Whereas Kanye rejects the comparison of a hip-hop superstar to the Beatles, Rae Sremmurd play with the pun of the rock band and insect so that "Black Beatles" becomes a much more complex song psychologically, in the spirit of West's hip hop (which led the way toward a more introspective style and a renewed interest in rock sounds in the early 2000s, after all).*
Indeed, one aspect of "Black Beatles"'s success perhaps comes from how it occupies a sonic realm at the fertile boundary between pop, rock, and hip hop, which is where one could argue much successful pop of the last twenty-odd years has resided: spooky new order (and New Order) pop-synth meets an interest in countercultural weirdness meets pop sampling (of various sorts) meets auteur-genius artist ideologies; pop song structure meets rock self-consciousness meets hip-hop guest appearance (in this case by Atlanta's Gucci Mane) , singing meets rocking meets rapping. It's got a back beat, you can't lose it.

But there's more. At the end of the Obama presidency, in the aftermath of #blacklivesmatter, and with the victory of reactionary populism embodied by the election of Donald Trump, for a pop song to emphasize blackness is no small thing, particularly for one that at least implicitly reminds us that the Beatles appropriated so much in their music from African American musical heroes. The classic rock genre, now so strongly coded as white music, is here, with "Black Beatles," reclaimed as black. Appropriation strikes back. But it does so sideways. The song never tries to make its racial pop music history politics explicit, so far as I can tell. Instead it masks the return of the Beatles to blackness within a hip hop-pop party song that portrays a night at the club, with weirdos with green hair, young bulls living like old geezers, frat girls, mad haters, baby mamas, chapos, eurosteppers, and others floating through the sedated marijuana haze and alcohol binge-drinking buzz.
Merging pop and hip hop, the song led my class back to 2011's "Moves Like Jagger," which really should be titled "Moves Like Tina" since it erases the ways in which Mick Jagger borrowed his moves especially from Tina Turner (as well as James Brown and other African American performers, to be sure). So reminiscent of a similar turn back to classic rock from the 1960s, "Black Beatles" brings issues of race front and center. But gender is there too, if we want to glimpse and hear it. We might even notice Turner's hidden presence lurking, by implication, within the song. Not just Black Beatles, but somewhere there she is the Black Jagger too. And this time, it's a black woman whose pop music significance we can call back to prominence. So while it is ostensibly a male's view on being so trippy-stoned cool that "bitch, me and Paul McCartney related," "Black Beatles" can also, if we want it to, remind us of a black woman's historical importance even within its hyper-masculinized misogyny!
But, there's even more. "Black Beatles" has become the soundtrack to the Mannequin Challenge, a viral fad of staging still-life tableau vivants by students, sports teams, and others (think Ice Bucket challenge, the Harlem Shake, and many other social media phenomena). Why is unclear, but here lies yet another appropriation of this song that is all about appropriation. Pop music and musical performers sometimes draw audiences to them, magnetize them with artfulness, virtuosity, controversy, or some other quality that attracts. Just as often, people pull music into their own social lives, making it a soundtrack, a signal, a mood for other activities. After all, Beatlemania, like so much of the pop music history before and after it, was in the end more about the mania of the fans than of the Beatles. Sometimes power is indeed in the eye (and ear) of the (very still) beholder. Pop music fandom is not always passive to the spectacle; just as often it can be active and dynamic.
Which, with the brothers in Rae Sremmurd, does offer a way of getting back to where they once belonged. While they now reside in Atlanta, the Browns were born from Tupelo, Mississippi. And you know who else was from there: Jumpin' Gene Simmons, of course. And also that guy Elvis Presley. So in a sense this pop hit of 2017 goes back even deeper than the Liverpudlian rockers or Mick Jagger or even Tina Turner—it gets back to the original supposed king of rock and roll himself. For classic hip hip, this was not important. "Elvis was a hero to most / But he never meant shit to me," as Chuck D.'s famously put it in Public Enemy's "Fight the Power." This may still be the case. But something else is happening lately in hip hop as it collides with pop: a different kind of reckoning with, and remixing of, prior musical and cultural histories.
If you've come this far with "Black Beatles," you're truly in the sticky pop muck now. This song provides passage to what Robert Cantwell calls the "cultural ectoplasm" of society, where race, gender, class, region, self, community, and nation collide, dissolve, reconfigure, re-form (and maybe even reform). Songs creep up and down the charts. As they do, they burrow into consciousness on a backbeat, reminding us of pop music's slyly catalytic powers. It digs in if you dig it and remakes the past if you'll let it. It's so superficial, but there's also a surprisingly durable capacity there. It's always bugging out. Black Beatles, indeed.
*My student Joe Madden directed my attention to the song's reference to Kanye West's lyric.

A galloping granny from Warwickshire sprinted to victory in a horse-racing event with a difference.
Dee Pope saddled up her wooden horse alongside six other fine fillies for the first-ever "Gran" National.
The alternative to Saturday's big race was a competition for grandmothers across the UK held at Aintree yesterday.
And 61-year-old Mrs Pope proved she was a proper thoroughbred by striding to the finish after hurdling four jumps and negotiating a giant water pistol.
The grandmother-of-two and former member of Rugby and Northamptonshire Veterans Club was hot favourite to win after wowing spectators at a trial race at Warwick Racecourse last week.
Dee, of Overton Lane, Rugby, talked a good race before the final declaring: "Once you have been a sprinter you are quite determined."
And her confidence proved well-founded as she crossed the line in first place.
And her prize was a free £1,000 flutter on this Saturday's Grand National.
She said she would be placing her bet on Clan Royal.
The idea for the race started with a misspelt e-mail from organiser Damien Walker, racecourse PR manager for Grand National sponsors Totesport, who missed the "d" off Grand National when sending an e-mail to a work colleague.
Yesterday's race was started by female jockey Carrie Ford, who is tipped to be the first female to win the Grand National with favourite Forest Gunner.

A man charged with first-degree murder in connection with a deadly house explosion in Kitchener is the husband of the woman who died in the incident.
Waterloo Region Police say the man was arrested on Monday — nearly six weeks after the explosion that rocked a quiet residential neighbourhood in August.
Udo Haan, 58, is also charged with one count of arson – disregard for human life and two counts of arson – damage to property.
Haan, who also lived in the home, was seriously injured in the blast and police say he remains in hospital. He made a short court appearance via phone on Tuesday. His condition is unknown.
The explosion on Aug. 22 levelled the home and caused extensive damage to some nearby residences.
The body of 58-year-old Edresilda Haan was found in the backyard of the destroyed home and her death was ruled a homicide, although the official cause of death has not been released.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
The court has placed a publication ban on the case, prohibiting the publication of evidence presented moving forward.

Re-thinking how your organization uses 5-Why
With a few minor adjustments, a simple 5-Why can significantly improve the way organizations communicate and solve problems. And knowing how to conduct a 5-Why is crucial. There are different schools of thought about 5-Why. Some organizations adhere to it strictly, others think it provides no benefit. There is opportunity to improve both the understanding and application of this tool. A 5-Why Cause Map is different than what people learned as traditional 5-Why.
What is 5-Why?
5-Why is a problem-solving tool recognized around the globe. It's part of six-sigma, lean and Kaizen. The structure is simple. It starts with a problem that gets broken down with a series of Why questions - five of them. The first question is "Why did the problem happen?" The answer is written down. That answer is the basis of the second Why question. This continues five times. Toyota is credited with establishing 5-Why as a formal method as far back as the 19th century when they made fabric looms. As most of you are aware, exhaustive Why questions were invented by every 3-year-old on the planet. Everyone who has had a child in their life has experienced those Why questions. And, you used to be the 3-year-old asking Why questions to your parents. You already know this.
5-Why purists
There are 5-Why users who believe the fifth Why question provides the "root cause." It does not. There is no root cause at the end of the 5th Why. Their mental model is that just five Why questions are needed. It seems so perfect, but it's an illusion. Asking Why questions is an important part of explaining an issue, but there's no reason to limit the analysis to only five. A 5-Why is a great way to get started, but, depending on the magnitude of the issue, more causes may need to be identified. So, a 5-Why is just a phase of an investigation. It comes after the 4th Why and before the 6th.
Anti-Why crowd
Some individuals and organizations are opposed to Why questions. They believe the question makes people defensive. This simply reveals they don't know how to use the question. In an investigation, asking "Why did you do that?" may be too pointed, but it's because of the use of the word "you" - not the question Why.
Some also argue that Why questions are too open ended. They believe the order and structure of an investigation comes from a methodology. It doesn't. The order is already within the incident. The problem provides the model for explaining it. This is called science. It's how all things are explained - accurately and thoroughly. Unfortunately, some organizations think problem solving is a combination of different techniques and terminology. They're ignoring basic principles. They've mistakenly made problem solving too complicated in their company. They believe there's a "secret sauce" for investigating problems. Explaining why the tides move in and out, why hot air rises, why production was delayed, why an injury occurred and why someone gained 15 pounds are the result cause-and-effect. Problem solving methods that change based on type of incident is symptomatic of technique over principle. More on the "criticisms of the 5-Why approach."
"Why" questions are fundamental
A Why question is the easiest way to identify a cause-and-effect relationship. If your organization is interested in meeting goals, preventing problems and making improvements in any area, your people need to learn how to use Why questions. When a 3-year-old asks a Why question we begin our response with "Because." The root of the word because is cause. Because means "caused by." Cause-and-effect is fundamental for explaining how and why things happen. There's no problem solving that happens outside the domain of cause-and-effect. Why a specific solution was effective or how a piece of equipment functions is all explained by cause-and-effect. It's the basis of all problem solving and troubleshooting. Organizations usually don't ask enough Why questions within their operations. The ability to ask and answer Why questions is essential for understanding both why things go badly and why they go well. Please let me know why some people think Why questions are not a good idea.
Benefits of 5-Why
Three advantages of building a 5-Why for a problem is that it's easy to get started, it's quick to layout and it can be accurate even though it's basic. A 5-Why is not a complete problem-solving method, but it's a great way to begin. Why questions break down into cause-and-effect relationships. Regardless of how many causes may be captured within an incident, the investigation can start with 1-Why. It then builds to a 2-Why, a 3-Why and so on. A 5-Why is just a simple first pass. The analysis can expand to a 15-Why, a 25-Why or more, depending on the issue. Remember, a 5-Why is just a phase of an investigation, not a complete method.
Don't write sentences
The conventional approach for documenting a 5-Why is sentences written down the page. They're typically numbered 1 through 5. Sentences are the most time-consuming way to capture a 5-Why. Writing a sentence then asking a Why question and writing down the answer as another sentence takes more words than necessary and creates confusion. Cause-and-effect relationships are much easier to show visually. We suggest building a 5-Why using our Cause Mapping method. Each cause is written in its own box. It lays out horizontally across the page with an arrow pointing from the cause to the effect. Below are several links to some different 5-Why Cause Map examples that you can reference.
The Toyota Welding Robot example shows a 5-Why written in sentences using 81-words. The same issue is built in a Cause Map with only 31 words. The visual format is simple, but experiment on some problems in your organization after reviewing the examples or contact me for help.
5-Why is not supposed to be repeatable
Once of the criticisms of 5-Why is that it's not repeatable. Different people build different 5-Whys. This criticism reveals how confused people are about the basics of cause-and-effect. Different people naturally build different 5-Whys. People don't see problems the same way - they have different backgrounds and areas of expertise. Some argue that 5-Why is not scientific because it's not repeatable. That statement is flawed. A thorough analysis, for example with 15 causes, will be repeatable, but everyone doesn't see the same 5 causes within that issue. Three people can provide three different 5-Whys that all combine to into one more complete explanation of the issue. If each 5-Why is built accurately, they'll combine without any contradiction. It's much easier to demonstrate using an example Cause Map. The Titanic 5-Why shows how 3 different 5-Whys build into one 9-Why Cause Map. This works precisely because of cause-and-effect.
Improving the improvement tool
Expanding an analysis beyond a 5-Why is simple, but it's not well understood. Most 5-Why users have been taught to restrict a problem analysis to only five questions. Starting an investigation as a 5-Why is smart. Limiting it to a 5-Why is not. It's another example of how a prescriptive method alters the explanation. Your problem-solving method should not distort the issue. It should reflect it. A map of your town should look like your town. A map of your problem should look like the issue – regardless of what level of detail you reveal – 5, 15 or 25 causes. All the Cause Maps are accurate, they're just at different levels of detail. Don't limit the clear explanation of your problems. Experiment with this approach on some problems in your company.
Here's an example

When you fall in love for real, you usually have eyes for that person only.
You feel complete only when you are around them and you would do anything in your power to spend every single moment of your free time with this person.
When you are in this initial stage of your relationship, you feel like this is everything you need in life and that this person is the only one you want by your side.
You forget about your hobbies and interests. You forget about everything and everyone who makes you happy besides them.
But most importantly—many people completely forget about their friends and family as well.
If you have a group of girlfriends who are single, you simply feel like you don't have anything to talk about with them anymore.
You even start feeling a little bit sorry for them because they haven't had the chance to find their Mr. Right.
In the beginning, you continue seeing your friends but not as often as you used to.
And they probably understand you. They know that you have a new priority in your life now and they don't expect you to be with them 24/7.
But as time goes by, it looks like you start forgetting all about them. You stop talking to them on the phone every day and you guys don't see each other for months.
With time, you get used to having your boyfriend as the only person you need in your life.
And while this is a great thing and while your boyfriend being your best friend is something you should be thankful for, forgetting about your friends is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
I am not advising you to sacrifice your relationship for your friends.
After all, your boyfriend is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with and he should be your partner in every sense of that word, so it is natural for you to put him first.
But please, try to make a balance and try to make time for your friends even when you fall in love.
Because these are the people who were there for you at your best and at your worst. And the people who always loved you the same.
These were the people who made you laugh and who wiped away your tears.
The people who always had your back and who always supported you, no matter what. The people who were there for you through thick and thin.
The people who always believed in you and who always held your hand through all of life's challenge and difficulties.
The first people you called to share every piece of good and bad news in your life.
The people who were there for you when you got a promotion, who celebrated your birthdays as if they were their own and the people who pushed you forward whenever you felt down.
But also the people who were there for you through your every heartbreak or family emergency.
The ones who never left your side when you just needed someone to talk to and someone to listen to you.
The people who shared your problems, your tears of joy and laughter. The people who never left you hanging. These are the people who helped you become the person you are today.
And these will be the people who will be there for you if it happens that you break up with this guy you are with today.
I know you hope for this relationship to last for the rest of your life but the reality is that things might not go as planned, as much as you want them to.
And if this ever happens, these will be the people who will take you back.
The people who will spend hours and hours listening to you complain about your break-up, if it ever happens.
The ones who will comfort you and who will show you that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
These are the people who will help you get over this guy and to move on with your life. The people who will help you get back on your feet.
So please, don't cut them out of your life now that you are the happiest. No matter how busy you are, make an effort to make room for them.
Trust me—you'll regret not doing so. But when you realize this, it might be too late.

Solemnity of Christ the King. Fr Aelred Connelly proposes ways in which we can share in the kingship of Christ.
Christ the King is the one who has overcome death through his resurrection as its first fruits, then come all those who belong to him, as we hear in today's second reading from St Paul to the Corinthians. They too have come through death to new life of the Kingdom.
He is the one who has shepherded the weak and the strong, the healthy and the sick. However as shepherd he is also their judge, who will separate the sheep from the goats. This distinction is for those who have lived out the fruits of the resurrection in their daily lives. They already live out the life of the Kingdom of God. They are invited to take their heritage:
For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you welcomed me; naked and you clothed me; sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me.
These have been referred to in the tradition of the Church as the corporal works of mercy. In today's world so much of them have become the preserve of institutions and become professionalized. It is now near impossible to work regularly in hospitals or in prisons either as full-time or part-time care workers or as volunteers without going through an extensive selection process.
In some ways this is very good and necessary. However, there is also the everyday opportunity, both in our churches and neighbourhood, to welcome the stranger and to look out for those in different kinds of need and friendship. A kindly listening ear, taking time with those around us, a word of encouragement to those in difficulty.
Getting involved often brings with it a practical responsibility. Sometimes we are tempted to try to 'sort out' and solve the problems of those we encounter. Another temptation is to 'cop out' with easy words to distance ourselves from the difficulties involved. Very often the best approach is to 'stay with' the individual, to hear their story, respecting their independence and dignity and doing what we can to help in a practical way, if possible.
We can also become involved in local and global and Church-inspired activities to work for justice and peace and love, Kingdom values mentioned in the preface of today's Mass. These are allied also to all those who work for truth, life, holiness and grace, all signs and values of God's Kingdom here on earth. There is a place and space for all of us to work for Kingdom values, both through prayer and activity.
We all also need to be on the receiving end of the Kingdom, remembering that Christ the King is coming to us through others, even those we might think are outside the visible Kingdom. This is a valuable thing I have learned through working in ecumenical and multi-faith teams in both prison and hospital chaplaincy, and previously in university chaplaincy, and in the parish. Those we minister to often have much to teach and enrich us in their own way, especially their honesty and openness and even their sense of humour.
Closer to home, our families and friends, so much taken for granted, enrich us with their unfailing support. They too need our attention and love in the corporal works of mercy and in many other ways. One of our parishioners who is also a dear friend constantly reminds me that 'Only your mother could love you!' It is sometimes harder to believe that Jesus loves me.
While we celebrate today Jesus, the eternal priest and universal King, we remember that he offered for us his life on the altar of the cross and redeemed the human race by his one perfect sacrifice of peace.
This is for all and any of us. What we need to do is believe it and try to live it in our lives in a very down-to-earth way. Therein lies the Kingdom of heaven of which he is the King who then hands us over to the Father.

Versatile Capability - With the Greenstar Elite's list of features and innovative design the Greenstar Elite offer unprecedented versatility not only in what you can juice but that you can create in your kitchen! The Greenstar has the capability to create wonderful recipes such as nut butters, sorbets, as well sauces and pate. The twin gears act as a food processor breaking down the produce to create a delicious dessert or snack for you and your family.

100 years ago I could not have voted in the United States," I told the pastor sitting across from me. "But I believe I could have found a place to preach.
The Declaration of Sentiments
Believe it or not, I've actually had people say to me, "Why do you care so much about women? What's the big deal? You have the right to vote…" I would laugh if it weren't so common to meet people with this opinion. As if gaining the right to vote was the only problem women faced—and as if we've actually achieved equal political representation. Clearly, the work is not done. If you've never read the full text of "The Declaration of Sentiments," I highly encourage you to do so.
Written in July 1848 as part of the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, it holds some of the most powerful words I've ever read.

Investing in art has emerged as a good investment alternative after the world crisis started in 2007 in the United States, along with other secondary investment opportunities such as hedge funds, private equity funds or various exchange trade funds.
Market trends have shown that during the time of crisis collectors seek to acquire works by recognized and highly acclaimed artists as a means of somewhat more secure investment, while in the booming market modern, contemporary and emerging artists gain more popularity. The art market stability therefore allows for more risky purchases, similar as in the financial market, while some analytics suggest the two have already merged. The unifying trend between the art and the financial market has been first noted about a decade ago, when the art industry started employing financial protocols in calculating the security of acquisitions through portfolio management, benchmarking, market research, art indices and applying it to the art business. However art can never be perceived as a financial commodity, because of its very nature, which leaves a large angle of unpredictability within the market.
Still, there are art investment funds that make efforts to treat their artistic assets as they would financial products. And large companies have known to have and build their own corporate collections, not as a means of investment, but more as a corporately responsible marketing move beneficial for public relations.
There is a myriad of studies with pro and con information on investing in the arts, but fact remain that art investment can be more beneficial than investment in some of the more conventional assets. Collecting art can also bring various benefits to the investor, along with the financial gain.
According to the latest data gathered from ArtRank, we create a short analysis of pros and cons of investing in emerging artists.
As previously mentioned, buying new art can be beneficial on multiple levels, but it is the most risky endeavor in the art market. Nobody can claim with an absolute certainty that artist one may like will be the next Banksy. And when it comes to Banksy, the data is showing his artwork is not in demand as much anymore, resulting in the decrease in price.
Among the emerging artists that may be interesting to collectors the first place is occupied by Zak Prekop in the category under $10K. A little more expensive collecting option are Sam Moyer and Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, with their artwork currently selling under $30K. Stylistically, all of these artists operate within the realm of abstraction, with distinctive approaches in terms of media and chromatism, which supports the idea that investing in substantiated abstract art is still very much trending. Coming from the world of urban art, Christian Rosa's work is quoted at below $100K, with him being ranked third in the category. His Miro-esque abstract paintings with suggestive details and symbolics promise to be still on the rise in the booming urban art market.
There are some urban artists whose art prices are peaking at the moment, being unlikely they will be on the rise any further. This group includes names such as KAWS and Lucien Smith, so collectors who have been investing in works of the named creatives may be advised to contemplate the sales of their prized possessions. Since fluctuations on the art market art happening rather quickly, it goes without saying that acting fast is of crucial importance. Also, the collectors aiming to assemble compilations by these artists alone, the market may be in favor of their vaults soon.
Of course, a selection of artists who got the art market spirits all stirred up in the past and now are on a slight decline on the market exists and what is interesting, one of the luminaries of street art, Banksy, tops the list. This comes with little surprise, considering the worldwide craze about his artwork that is still largely happening, but we doubt this concerns the street vigilante very much, as he stays true to his core values and work mode. Still, it is certain Banksy will prevail all the current art market trends and his art may be a good treasure to hold for the future.
Finally, for all aspiring collectors looking to invest smartly it is advised to get informed on many levels, however the art purchase will never be risk free if conducted solely out of the wish for profit. In the end, it is always more important to love and enjoy art, in which way the acquirer will always get his money's worth.

Twenty-eight year old Geraan Garland sees opportunity the way he sees paint prior to putting it on canvas – a world of potential simply waiting to be mixed with creativity, blended with technique, and finessed with patience and determination.
Few of our Artist + Entrepreneur feature subjects have so embodied the balance of creativity and commerce as the jack-of-all-trades, Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale alumnus.
With bookings several months in advance for his bridal henna tattoos; extensive corporate and family clientele for his child face painting services; local business gigs for his spray paint designs; heavy clout amongst the young local crowd for his ink tattoos and an inflatable water trampoline and float business, Garland is the definition of the creative entrepreneur.
As a child attending primary school in Providenciales, the South Caicos descendant expressed a passion for creative expression early on. As a 19-year-old attending art school in Florida, Garland always had his sketch books with him.
When he walked into a gas station and met a tattoo artist one day, Garland made a pitch to the artist to teach him to tattoo.
"I went to his house the next day and showed him some of my sketches. Soon enough I was sketching the tattoo designs for him and bringing friends from college to his place for me to practice on," Garland says.
With enterprising artistic skills and two years of tattooing experience under his belt, Garland returned home.
It started out with just tattoos. When that little business grew, Garland got a light bulb idea to invest the profits into another business venture after observing banana boat rides at the beach.
"I did the numbers in my head and thought, wow, inflatable products can really do well so I decided to invest in them… but not banana boats," Garland says of the precursor to his wildly successful company, Paradise Floats.
If you've experienced or privately booked water trampolines that turn the ocean into an outdoor gymnasium or ridden giant inflatable animals of the flamingo, swan, and unicorn varieties, you've probably booked from Garland's Paradise Floats.
Even with his early success, Garland is still just sketching the outline of his future.
"I want to open an art company that gives talented artists the opportunity to be booked for jobs and sell their work, you know?" Garland's eyes light up as he speaks of the goals he clearly intends to bring to fruition. In the hushed voice of someone who has made an investment they prefer to show and not tell he reveals, "I'm working on (something big) but… you'll see."
With his talent for seeing potential prior to painting the final picture for others to enjoy, Geraan Garland's plans invoke the mantra that seeing is indeed believing.

JetairFly flight Toulouse-Malaga 39 hour delay: get your 250 euro compensation
A flight from Toulouse to Malaga operated by JetairFly was scheduled to leave on Saturday 3rd September at 6 am. Due to major delays, the flight finally arrived at its final destination on Sunday 4th Semptember, late at night.

Just sit back for a moment and close your eyes. Clear your mind. Now, I want you to think of the scariest thing you can imagine. Make it a clear mental picture in your mind's eye.
What I'm about to share with you is way worse than that.
A new report is coming out that says there's a strong possibility that Iran, you know the country that takes to the streets on a regular basis to gleefully shout "death to America," might be super close to having a nuclear weapon in their possession.
How is this possible? Well, for starters, the disastrous nuke deal the Obama administration orchestrated opens the door for this as it limits inspections that can be done in the country. But it also seems they have been sharing information with North Korea.
via The Daily Caller:
Iran may be secretly pursuing a nuclear weapons program on military sites away from international inspectors, a new report by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) obtained by Fox News revealed Tuesday.
The 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by the President Barack Obama administration limits inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials to declared civilian sites at a moments notice. The IAEA can request access to military sites, but Iran is allowed nearly a month to prepare sites before their inspection. Critics note this may be enough time to conceal any nefarious activity.
President Donald Trump will likely de-certify the Iranian nuclear deal to Congress in the coming week triggering a 60 day review of its effect on U.S. national security. Critics of the deal in Congress could raise inspections of military sites as a requirement for the regime to stave off future sanctions.
"An important feature of the Iranian regime's nuclear program is that several sites and centers where nuclear-related activities are conducted are situated in sprawling military complexes that also house scores of tunnels and silos. This not only makes IAEA access to these locations more difficult, but also makes it possible to relocate these centers and projects to other locations within the complex," Alireza Jafarzadeh, an NCRI official, told Fox News, adding "As such, if it becomes necessary to relocate a project or center, it can easily be moved to a different silo or tunnel within the parameters of the military site. This makes pinpointing the exact location of nuclear research and activities more challenging, and reduces the chance of exposure."
I think it goes without saying, but this is pretty horrible news. If Iran gets their hands on a nuclear weapon, either they are going to attempt to use it on us or on Israel, neither of which is a good thing. For obvious reasons.
You know, a lot of folks on the left talked about the economic mess that Obama inherited from former President Bush and chastised him for it endlessly. Trump has inherited both an economic mess and a foreign policy mess, and despite the negligent leadership of the former commander-in-chief opening the way for this junk, everyone is blaming the current president.
Let's hope Trump and his advisers can find a solution to the situation brewing with North Korea and now Iran that doesn't involve massive bloodshed.

Quinoa stuffed bell peppers are a nutrient-packed & vegetarian-friendly recipe! Perfect for dinners and meal prep.
Bell peppers are so plentiful this time of year. I love slicing them up to dip in jalapeno hummus or adding to summer vegetable soup.
But my favorite way to eat this Vitamin C packed fruit? (and yes, bell peppers are a fruit!)
Stuffed bell peppers!
You'll love making these bell peppers for dinner year-round, but there's nothing quite like enjoying a sweet pepper straight from the garden (or farmers market!) in the summer.
This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases; read my disclaimer policy for more information.
That's why these bell peppers are making their way to Cozy Peach Kitchen at the end of July. Just in time for peak pepper season!
At 14 grams of protein per stuffed pepper, these vegetarian-friendly dinner is nutrient-packed and filled with all the good stuff.
Quinoa, black beans, and simple seasonings like cumin and chili powder make up the healthy filling.
Step by instructions
Step 1. Prepare the quinoa filling. Saute onion in olive oil until softened, then add optional jalapeno (if you like spicy!) and dry quinoa.
Toast the quinoa for a minute to enhance this grain's natural flavors. Stir in seasonings and liquid.
Bring the quinoa to a boil over high heat. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until quinoa is cooked and fluffy, about 15 minutes.
Step 2. Stir in the black beans, drained tomatoes, frozen corn (the corn does not need to be thawed), and 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
Step 3. Assemble the peppers in a lightly oiled baking dish or cast iron. Add 1 cup of the quinoa black bean mixtue to each pepper.
Push down the quinoa mixture with a spoon to make sure it's tightly filled. Top peppers with the remaining shredded cheese.
Step 4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes more, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Bell peppers are a low-calorie food, with just one medium bell pepper providing 30-40 calories.
Despite their low calorie content, bell peppers are very high in Vitamin C, with just one bell pepper providing >100% RDI (recommended daily intake).
Quinoa and black beans provide a hefty helping of plant-based protein and complex carbs. This quinoa stuffing is based on my popular Quinoa Taco Salad recipe.
One stuffed bell pepper provides 9 grams of fiber, a hearty contribution to the recommended daily fiber intake of 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men.
These peppers are great for meal prep. Just wrap each pepper individually in foil or place in individual containers for grab-and-go lunch throughout the week.

Robert Malley is the incoming vice president of policy for the International Crisis Group. Recently, he served as special assistant to President Barack Obama, senior advisor to the president for the Counter-ISIL campaign, and White House coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf region in 2015 to 2016. Prior to that, he was senior director for the Gulf region and Syria. As the most senior White House official focused on the Middle East, Malley advised the president, secretary of state and national security advisor, coordinated government-wide efforts to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and was the lead White House negotiator for the Iran nuclear deal as well as for international talks on the Syrian civil war, including negotiations with the Russian Federation. He also oversaw the National Security Council staff's work on the broad range of Middle East issues, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to relations with Gulf states. He earned the State Department's Distinguished Service Award in 2016.
Before joining the National Security Council staff in February 2014, Malley founded and directed the International Crisis Group's Middle East and North Africa program from January 2002. Prior to that, he was a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Until January 2001, Malley was special assistant to President Clinton for Arab-Israeli affairs and director for Near East and South Asian affairs at the National Security Council. In this capacity, he served as a principal advisor to the president and the national security advisor at the White House on the Middle East peace process.
Malley first joined the National Security Council staff in August 1994 as director for democracy. He helped coordinate U.S. refugee policy and efforts to promote democracy and human rights abroad. He also played a leading role in U.S. policy toward Cuba. In July 1997, he became executive assistant to the national security advisor, acting as an informal chief of staff for Samuel R. Berger. Malley served as a law clerk to Justice Byron R. White of the United States Supreme Court from 1991 to 1992.
Malley is a graduate of Yale University, Harvard Law School and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He is the author of "The Call from Algeria: Third Worldism, Revolution and the Turn to Islam" and, with Hussein Agha, of several articles, including "Camp David: The Tragedy of Errors ," "The Last Negotiation," "Three Men in a Boat," "Hamas – The Perils of Power" and "The Arab Counter-Revolution."

Ottawa Citizen – VITO PILIECI
Updated: April 3, 2019
The number of resale homes sold in Ottawa slid in March, as tight inventories put pressure on buyers to bid on limited offerings, pushing the prices of available homes even higher.
March marked the first month in 2019 where the number of resale homes sold was lower than the same month last year. According to the Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB), agents sold a total of 1,511 homes last month, a drop of 8.6 per cent when compared to the 1,654 properties sold in March 2018.
"Lack of inventory is responsible for March's deficiency in residential unit sales," said Dwight Delahunt, president of the OREB. "This tightness of supply is manifesting in significant reductions in days on market, and properties selling very quickly. In some pockets of the city, buyers are facing multiple offer situations, and properties are often selling over list price.
"These dynamics of low inventory, reduced days on market, and multiple offers are signs of a seller's market in these areas. While a benefit to those sellers, it's stressful and time-consuming for buyers."
New residential listings in Ottawa were down 21 per cent in March, compared to the same month in 2018. The number of those new listings in 2019 is down 30 per cent when compared to March 2017.
The tightening market is forcing buyers to compete for whatever is available, pushing the price of real estate even higher. According to the OREB, the average sale price of a residential-class property sold in March in the Ottawa area was $480,143, a rise of 7.2 per cent over March 2018. The average sale price for a condominium-class property was $290,181, an increase of 5.2 per cent from this month last year.
The OREB said the increasing price of real estate in Ottawa isn't likely to slow down anytime soon, as demand continues to skyrocket for homes in the nation's capital.
"In Ottawa, we have a population base that's increasing year over year with a growth rate of 8.8 percent, which is higher than Ontario (5.7%) and Canada as a whole (5.9%). Immigration and high employment levels are bringing residents to our desirable and affordable city," said Delahunt.
"With high demand and limited supply, prices will continue to be pushed upwards. It's a simple and fundamental economic principle. Although we appreciate the recent measures the federal government has taken towards affordable home ownership, all three levels of government need to work together at implementing mechanisms that will also restore the supply side of the market."
This year's federal budget introduced an incentive program that could lower mortgage payments for households making less than $120,000 per year.
The OREB suggested that more high quality, upscale developments are needed in the nation's capital, which would spark existing home owners to consider listing their property, creating an opportunity for "move up" or first-time buyers.
The OREB also urged the federal government to rethink the stress test that is applied to new home buyers. The stress test affects buyers looking to finance more than 80 per cent of the home's price. Those buyers are forced to qualify for their loan using a higher interest rate than what is being offered to them, in order to ensure they can handle additional financial pressure should the economy improve.

Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers for bringing out lots of new sports equipment. We were able to fix new netball nets for the girls and bring out lots of new footballs, netballs and volleyballs! Two parachutes for the younger children were also brought out and Emma and Clare showed the teachers some of the games that can be used with it.
Last week we had two visitors to the school; Beth and JC from South Africa. Beth and JC specialise in sustainable approaches to making the most of your surroundings. In other words, 'Permaculture'. They ran a 3-day course at the school for all teachers. The course included advice and tips on saving and reusing water, ways to use plastic bottles, (including making bricks and air-conditioning units!) And a very practical guide to making your own fertiliser, teachers were astounded and amused to find that animal and even human waste can be put to use in the garden!
Clare did an amazing job with the Standard 3 garden. Over two days she put JC and Beth's advice to excellent use, creating a layer of mulch using dry and green leaves, and then installing a watering system using plastic bottles. Finally all the children got to paint a rock to add as a decoration for the garden.
We have all been working together to organise the school supplies, from important administrative documents to classroom resources. A shelving unit has been built and installed in the storage room – Kenneth's office. This unit will be used to store many things including textbooks, teachers' guides and important school resources. The Head Teacher and Deputy's documents have also been ordered and filed away in a brand new filing cabinet. With the huge amount of paperwork that the management need to produce… basic computer lessons have started for the management team! Each of them will also have a 10 inch netbook (from donations from Andy, Finola and Aoife) so they can practice their computer/typing skills!
The class sizes at Matandani are very big. With an average of 130 children in each class, it can be very difficult when it comes to testing. We tried a new way of testing the children in Standard 1 by bringing 6 children outside at a time, with 6 children waiting their turn. The children had a table, more space and privacy to do their test. It also enabled the teacher to observe how the children were getting on when being tested on their own. It required a considerable amount of organisation and co-operation but hopefully it can be introduced properly next year.
Tailors came to Matandani to do some much needed repairs on the children's uniforms. Children in Malawi are very proud to wear a uniform so they were delighted with the improvements. They were also fascinated watching how the sewing machines works! We even found out that one of our very own teachers is an excellent tailor!
This week saw the near completion of one of the new classrooms in the new block. The classroom has now been plastered and painted, a lovely new red concrete floor has been put down, and the benches around the room have been fitted with custom made cushions. The windows will be fitted with glass pains and curtains, a first at Matandani!
Last year saw the introduction to the mooncups at Matandani with 3 students in standard 7 and 8 receiving them, as well as every female member of staff. Now one year on we are reflecting on the difference the mooncups have made.
14 year old Bahati Chitaya in Standard 7 has been using the mooncups this past year and said, "The Mooncup means that I can join in with any game at school and I don't need to miss any school when I have my period. It is important for me to be able to attend school because I want to work for the government later as a doctor."
The trial at Mantandani School has proved to be a great success and will be rolled out to even more students this year. The school has been able to purchase 90 mooncups for students and 10 for teachers, thanks to the generous support of Mooncup Ltd. Hopefully this will go a long way to help tackle the problem of inconsistent female education in the developing world.

InstallShield Software has filed a lawsuit against Wise Solutions, alleging that the company engaged in electronic espionage on at least 903 occasions.
InstallShield, which filed the suit on June 27 in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, in Chicago, is asking for unspecified damages, according to Tyler Sheffield, the company's CFO.
Both InstallShield and Wise Solutions develop and sell tools to software development companies.
Sheffield said the US Attorney's Office and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were in the midst of their investigation into Wise's allegedly illegal activities, and he wasn't sure when, or if, a criminal complaint would be filed. The US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois couldn't be reached for comment.
In its civil complaint, InstallShield contends that it discovered information indicating that from July 1, 2002, through June 23, 2003, Wise obtained access to InstallShield's file transfer protocol (FTP) server using the usernames and passwords of two InstallShield employees, as well as with an "anonymous" account.
Sheffield said neither InstallShield nor law enforcement officials believe that the two employees were involved with Wise's activities.
Using the confidential usernames and passwords of the two InstallShield employees, Wise allegedly downloaded 903 files - many containing proprietary and confidential information, including two mailing lists containing the business names, individual contact names and addresses of 109,900 InstallShield customers and prospects.
"We match up very closely as competitors, so it's a gold mine for (Wise) to get access to this," Sheffield said.
"Wise has a reputation of honesty and integrity, and nothing like this has every happened before in our history," Wise's chief legal counsel, Pat Ziarnik, said. "We know for a fact that their customer list was publicly available -- we determined that through a forensic investigation - but we are conducting an internal investigation to see what happened."
InstallShield spokeswoman, Ariana Nikitas, disagreed.
She said that according to the FTP log included with the company's complaint, Wise accessed the customer list with the username and password of one of InstallShield's employees.
"According to that information, our customer list was not publicly available," Nikitas said.
In addition, Wise allegedly obtained unauthorised assess to and downloaded InstallShield's confidential advertising and marketing materials, then used that information to create an almost identical ad campaign, according to the complaint.
Sheffield and Ziarnik said Wise agreed to an injunction prohibiting it from engaging in these activities until the matter was resolved in court.
Sheffield said a court date had yet to be set.

Reformed Epistemology
The following is a review of Alvin Plantinga's Knowledge and Christian Belief (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 2015). Plantinga is representative of the reformed epistemology movement. I may write more on this later, as I have wrestled greatly with the issue of what generates belief in God. As a self-avowed empiricist, I am hesitant to embrace anything that resembles a rationalistic approach to religious belief. Do we have innate knowledge of God, that precedes any empirical evidence or experience? At a very basic level, reformed epistemology believes that belief in God is not based upon evidence or philosophical argumentation. However, it would not be fair to say that Plantinga is somehow arguing that each person comes "pre-loaded" with the knowledge of God, prior to any experience. In his mind, there seems to be a distinction between "cognitive capacity" and "cognitive content." It is this distinction that I will explore further in a related post. For now, let this review serve as an introduction to the discussion.
Alvin Plantinga characterizes Knowledge and Christian Belief as a "shorter and more user-friendly version" of his much larger work, Warranted Christian Belief. He notes that he has made a few minor changes of emphasis, but follows the same flow of thought. The original book was a 500 plus page philosophical treatise forming the concluding work of a three volume set on warrant. The chief issue that Plantinga explores is the justification of Christian belief (one of the central goals of reformed epistemology). He is responding to multiple variations of the claim that Christian belief is irrational. His goal is not to demonstrate that Christian belief is true (he most certainly believes it is). He is simply trying to establish if the Christian has warrant for holding to belief in the Christian faith. Are Christians justified? In the end he maintains that Christians do in fact have warrant, but not on the basis of philosophical argument.
Chapter one begins by exploring the fundamental philosophical obstacle to knowledge of God: Kant's distinction between the world as we know it and the world as it really is. Kant's insights have had an enduring impact on religious thought since he first published his Critique of Pure Reason in 1781. Plantinga brilliantly points out that Kant's premise is self-defeating (or at least as it is expressed in post-Kantian philosophy). The statement that we can't think, say or know anything meaningful about God is a statement about God. If statements about God are meaningless, then the above statement (about God) is meaningless as well. The point is no longer valid. There really is no good reason to suppose that, if God exists, he couldn't simply create people with the a priori capacity to know and think about him.
In Chapters two and three he goes on to demonstrate the idea that belief in God is properly basic. This is the critical point he is making in this work and what distinguishes his work as representative of reformed epistemology. Plantiga argues the widely accepted view that there are some beliefs which do not have to be established on the basis of propositional evidence (i.e. beliefs about our own mental life, self-evident beliefs, etc.). These are beliefs that are beyond doubt and that others cannot accuse us of being irrational or unjustified for holding. We don't reason our way to these beliefs; they are merely thrust upon us. We can't be unjustified in believing something that isn't within our power not to believe. Plantinga is convinced that Christian belief falls within this category. God has instilled within his creation the cognitive capacity to form belief in God. Here Plantinga uses Frued's own critique of religious belief against him by claiming that it is the unbeliever who has malfunctioning faculties. Unbelief in God is very much a result of the impact sin has on this sensus divinitatis. Much of this discussion is tied to insights gained from
Aquinas and Calvin. If the world was created by God, then he would have necessarily imprinted upon his creation the ability to know him. Of course, that's a big if.
While the sensus divinitatis is damaged by sin, it is not obliterated. Knowledge of God is still properly basic. But how can one move from belief in God as properly basic, to belief in the Christian faith (i.e. Jesus, the authority of the Bible, etc.)? Can we say that the Christian faith is properly basic and therefore has warrant? Plantiga extends his argument to account for the internal work of the Holy Spirit, which moves the Christian to form these beliefs. These beliefs do not come to us through our senses, cognitive faculties, or even the sensus divinitatis. They are a divine gift. And if it is a result of the work of the Holy Spirit, regenerating the heart and leading the believer to form these beliefs, then she has no power to resist them. They are thrust upon her, much in the same way as belief in God is through the sensus divinitatis. They are produced by a "belief producing process that is functioning properly." Thus, Plantinga maintains that Christian belief has warrant.
Doesn't this mean that Christian belief gets its warrant from subjective religious experience? How would this be any different from others claiming contradictory beliefs on the basis of subjective experience? In response to this, Plantinga cautions that just because there is this experiential nature to faith, it does not mean that faith is a blind leap. Faith should never be contrasted with knowledge. All of this brings Plantinga to the exploration of defeaters. It is one thing to come to a belief beyond our control, quite another to stubbornly hold to it in the face of formidable evidence to the contrary. While a belief may initially have warrant, it can lose warrant (become irrational) if the circumstances that formed it change. Plantiga explores several possible defeaters, arguing that none of them diminish the warrant that Christians have in believing in God and the Christian faith.
Throughout this work, I continued to wonder if Plantinga would ever get to answer the question of "if" God in fact exists (given how his argument for warrant hinges on this condition). His response is simple: that is not the point of this work. Ultimately, he is convinced that the truth of belief in God is not something that can be established by argument.
