The practice of encoding data in DNA molecules could be inching closer to graduating from research labs to finding practical commercial use.
In the coming years, the explosion of data being generated by computing devices could outstrip the supply of hard drives needed to store it, some industry experts say. Some academic researchers and business leaders think that the solution could be to house information in lab-made DNA molecules instead of silicon. DNA's advantages include a much longer shelf life and superior ability to pack information into less space.
But there are a number of hurdles that must be overcome before DNA becomes a feasible method for mass data storage, including how slow and expensive it is to encode data in manufactured DNA. Catalog Technologies, a young startup based at the Harvard Life Lab, says it has developed a process for encoding data in DNA that addresses both of those issues. The company announced today that it has raised $9 million so far from investors, including New Enterprise Associates (NEA), to help commercialize its DNA-based data-storage method.
"We're really excited about making this a viable solution in the near future, starting with next year some pilot projects," says CEO and co-founder Hyunjun Park in a phone interview. He declined to share names of pilot customers, but he says Catalog is receiving interest from government entities, nonprofits, and data storage companies.
The idea of storing data in DNA isn't new, but the field seems to be gaining momentum as it finds faster ways of encoding and reading ever-increasing amounts of data in DNA. Researchers have completed experiments in the past few years demonstrating the ability to encode digital data—the sequences of zeroes and ones that comprise computer text, images, and audio files—into strands of synthetic DNA, made up of sequences of nucleotide bases represented by the letters A, C, G, and T. Storing data in DNA involves converting digital data into DNA code, and then synthesizing strings of DNA molecules with that code. For the past several years, researchers have been working to speed up the DNA synthesis step and lower the cost.
In 2012, researchers that included renowned Harvard professor George Church reported that they encoded a 5.27-megabit book in DNA and read it using a DNA sequencing machine. Since then, demonstrated storage capacity has grown. In a paper published in February, Microsoft and University of Washington researchers reported that they stored 35 distinct digital files in DNA—more than 200 megabytes of data—including the United Nations' "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" in more than 100 languages and the music video for OK Go's song "This Too Shall Pass." The Microsoft and UW team also said they improved methods of retrieving that data.
This month, Church and several other researchers published results of a new method that uses a DNA-building enzyme instead of traditional chemical approaches to rapidly synthesize DNA. UCLA assistant professor Sri Kosuri, a synthetic biology researcher who didn't work on the project, tweeted that the approach might help improve the speed and cost of DNA synthesis, as well as the speed of reading the encoded information. (The new paper has not been peer-reviewed.)
Catalog says it has developed faster and cheaper methods of building custom DNA for data storage purposes. The startup says the key to its approach is separating the process of synthesizing DNA molecules from the process of encoding the digital data. Park says Catalog's method involves purchasing large quantities of small DNA fragments—about 20 to 30 base pairs long—from synthetic DNA suppliers. Catalog designed a machine that can dispense and stitch the DNA fragments together in programmable ways. The idea is that Catalog's process uses a relatively small number of DNA molecules—fewer than 200—which can be combined in an exponential number of ways, Park says. The process requires less DNA synthesis, which is the "expensive and slow part of the work," he says.
Victor Zhirnov, chief scientist of the nonprofit Semiconductor Research Corporation in Durham, NC, says it sounds like Catalog is using a so-called "library approach," which involves "encoding information by taking a combination of DNA molecules from a defined lexicon of molecules."
"By doing this, they don't need to synthesize new DNA for every new piece of information to store. Instead they just have to remix their pre-fabricated DNA," Zhirnov says in an e-mail to Xconomy. (His research interests include DNA data storage, and he says he has no ties to Catalog.)
Park claims that by next year, Catalog's machine will be able to encode 1 terabyte of information per day in DNA, at a cost of several thousand dollars. Current standard methods of encoding data in DNA would cost billions of dollars and take several weeks to accomplish the same task, Park says.
Catalog's goals for the performance of its system are ambitious, but "not unreasonable," Zhirnov says. Whether Catalog's approach "can be done in an economically viable way—it remains to be seen," he says. "I find their approach interesting and look forward to seeing the results," he adds. Catalog hasn't published any peer-reviewed studies of its methods, Park says.
By comparison, a silicon-based portable hard drive with 1 terabyte of storage capacity typically costs less than $100, and the process of saving 1 terabyte of data on it would only take a few hours. The bottom line is even if Catalog's system performs as well as advertised, the company and its rivals are still a long way from being able to compete with the lower costs and faster data transfer speeds of hard drives. Still, DNA's longevity and compactness might make that tradeoff worth it for some users, particularly those who want to store data for long periods of time without accessing it.
Park says he and his co-founder, Nathaniel Roquet, met at the Synthetic Biology Center at MIT, where they were both working in associate professor Timothy Lu's group. Park was doing postdoctoral research at MIT, and Roquet was a graduate student researcher at Harvard. They formed Catalog in fall 2016 and relocated to San Francisco to participate in the IndieBio startup accelerator, Park says. They later moved back to Boston and set up shop in the Harvard Life Lab, a co-working and lab space that's part of the Harvard Innovation Labs.
Catalog has six employees, including the recently hired chief science officer Devin Leake, who was previously the head of DNA synthesis at Ginkgo Bioworks, a Boston-based synthetic biology company. Most of Catalog's team is trained in biology and chemistry, so some of the venture capital will be spent on hiring more computer scientists, Park says.
In addition to NEA, Catalog says its investors include OS Fund, Day One Ventures, Data Collective, Green Bay Ventures, AME Cloud Ventures, Industry Ventures, and the messaging app company Line. They're betting that Catalog will beat competitors, including Iridia and Helixworks Technologies, in the race to deliver practical DNA-based data storage systems.
Ultimately, Park envisions DNA being used not only for storing data, but also for transporting it. He says NASA, for example, might want to use DNA to more easily and reliably transport information through space, which would become more important if humans one day colonize other planets. Back on Earth, intelligence agencies could transport data more securely with DNA, Park says.
"If you wanted to carry around a few petabytes [of data] with you in just a few grams [of material], in an untraceable way, DNA would be a good way to do it," Park says.

Things got ugly really fast between Sharks' forward Logan Couture and The Athletic's Wyatt Arndt, when the reporter called Couture out for diving. This all started when Edmonton Oilers head coach Ken Hitchcock was displeased with the way the Canucks treated Connor McDavid.
The comments made by Hitchcock got fans around the League to ridicule both Hitchcock and McDavid for wanting special treatment. This is where Wyatt Arndt gets involved in calling out Logan Couture for diving.
Look, if Edmonton is so concerned about McDavid not drawing enough penalties, just enrol him at Logan Couture's Summer School of Snaps, where you learn to fling your head back regardless of if you were hooked, held, or tripped, Arndt said on TwitterArndt continued by publishing a video of Henrik Sedin 'murdering' Couture
Throwback to the time Henrik Sedin once murdered Logan Couture. See? See what he can teach McDavid?? pic.twitter.com/KpoIzH6SzD— Wyatt Arndt (@TheStanchion) 17 December 2018
Logan Couture is a man who once slid from his own zone, to center ice, and then ran to the dressing room, after a slight high stick. This guy knows how to sell. Like he literally corpsed his body and slid to center ice. It was amazing, Arndt continued on Twitter.At this point, former Canucks' goaltender Eddie Lack has become part of the fun and decided to reply to Arndt's comments.
17 December 2018
I don't know who Wyatt is but he seems to be obsessed with me, weird stuff. But Pettersson hit me directly in my eye, scratched my eye ball.... Wyatt claims to be a "media" member so he should ask Pettersson about the play. He apologized numerous times afterwards, Couture replied on Twitter.Eddie Lack seemed to love the the ongoing feud both guys by commenting "Hahaha love it get him Logan!!!" Wyatt seemed to be displeased by saying that Lack is the worst friend.
17 December 2018This is somewhat entertaining to watch as it began as a twosome, and ended in a threesome of name calling.

November Happy Patch on MAC
SoulStarMecca posted a topic in The UniversimThaaaaaaaaank You developers! MOST of the visual & lag issues I reported about on previous builds have been fixed with this latest experimental patch. Its running very smoothly so far The only things that remain are :: black squares where nuggets should be when you click on a hut to see its residents black squares where dead nuggets are
Telekinesis issues (The shaky hand of God!)
IRKillRoy posted a topic in ArchiveDescription: The telekinesis power is not very good at grabbing the sprites, I'd suggest that in order to fix the playability of this you have two options. 1) allow telekinesis to work while the game is paused 2) when using telekinesis, the control key freezes everyone/thing so you can grab them. After all, it's a god simulator. Severity: (1-5) 4 iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) Processor: 4 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MB
Animals under the ground
IRKillRoy posted a topic in ArchiveDescription: I have been getting attacked by wolves a lot lately, it's bothersome to say the least, but you'd think that you could at least spot the darn things when they are attacking. I found out that they are likely under the ground when I saw a mammoth doing that around some mountains. Unfortunately since the game will not play in a window on my mac I can't get a screen shot of it. The wolves appear after they attack and kill a few of my nuggets, then I have to run try to catch them with telekinesis since that is buggy as well (but that's a different topic). Severity: (1-5) 3 iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) Processor: 4 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MB
V27 on MAC :: Same Visual Bugs
SoulStarMecca posted a topic in ArchiveI was soooo excited to see that the issues with Macs were addressed in the latest patch notes ... then I get in the game and most of the saaaaaame bugs are still there. Build version: V27 Severity on a scale of 1-5: 4-5 Description: The majority of the items in game do not appear clearly and are not stable. The Le Cupidon creator power, nuggets, building shadows, and animals leave visual trails behind them as they move, the ground textures flash in patches, and the light coming from the huts is always flashing bright neon colors. (no more neon flashes from huts) The dead nuggets appear as black squares on the ground that the Telekinesis creator power does not always allow me to find & click on or move the dead nugget. The circles that display the amount of creator power, nuggets names, appear as black squares. The research tree sometimes has a transparent background, instead of the light blue. (that part fixed too) Reproduction: This happens every time I start a new game and/or load previous save files. I have tried backing up the game file on Steam, uninstalling/reinstalling, and verifying game files. I also tried adjusting the graphics settings. I am playing on a Mac mini :: Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics Intel Iris 1536

Black screen when launching from Steam
Simthy posted a topic in ArchiveHello, Love the game, played it for about half an hour before work and throughly enjoyed it. I returned home from work to boot it up and unfortunately came across a full black screen glitch. It will open and launch and say I'm playing the game on steam AND I will hear the game music and audio but for some reason its just a full on black screen. I've tried reinstalling the game on screen, restarting steam itself, turning off steam overlay, etc. But no luck. I'd love to play the game and test it out as much as I can but with this black screen I'm completely unable to play. If theres a fix that anyone has found or if I haven't found or read a fix I'm sorry if a hotfix is coming I'll greatly appreciate it.

Parts of buildings not showing and game is still very slow
rraccoonn posted a topic in Huff and Puff V 0.0.25Dear Crytivo, For me, the Universim is becoming increasingly unplayable with each update I install. Last update made all of my buildings disappear (I only see a very small part of it, just the flowers around it or absolutely nothing at all) and this issue persists with the new update. And while I know my laptop (a MacBook Pro 15-inch) might not be the best for gaming, the Universim is extremely laggy on my computer (while it runs other heavy games like The Sims 4 or Civilization absolutely fine, sure the fans are blowing permanently whenever I start them and I haven't set the graphics options set to the highest resolution but they still work very well), even when I set all graphics options to the lowest possible setting and the resolution to about 1200x800, it isn't running smoothly. I know you are just and indie dev company and the games I mentioned have been developed by teams much, much bigger than yours, but considering how much I paid for this game it is starting to piss me off. I am a very big fan of the concept of the game and back when it used to work, had a lot of fun playing it but the underlying software is just too buggy for me to enjoy playing the game now. I know that you want to proceed to the next eras (so do I!), but I think it would be much more valuable if the base of the game was more stable. Especially now that you are going on Steam, I think the core of the game should work on different systems. The small kinks I can tolerate (a certain building not doing exactly what it's supposed to do or a nugget getting lost, etc.) but at this moment I can't get any further than building my first well (which I cannot see...). Please, please fix these simple issues to make the game more playable, for all of our sakes! Best, A very supportive but also disappointed Universim player
Mac Bug
eliwilzon posted a topic in Beast Hunter V 0.0.24Any news on the proposed patch for Mac users? We still can not set see certain buildings and the AI is not to scale. Thanks.
Mac Help
eliwilzon posted a topic in The UniversimIs there any chance that Crytivo can release a new patch that would help solve the problem that affects the graphics of The Universim on Mac? When buildings are placed they're not visible. Also the screen display is not to scale with the screen. Everything looks zoomed out, including the main interface. Thanks in advance.
Unable To Activate The Universim
eliwilzon posted a topic in ArchiveGame Refuses to Launch I've recently purchased (backed) The Universim today. Excitedly, I went through the sign up process and began the process to download my copy of The Universim. I came across a window that asked me to provide the activation key in which I did. I entered the key correctly numerous times with the same outcome. The activation window closes with no further sign of the game starting. If it helps, I am running on Mac OS. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro with touchbar. (Granted, I understand Macs and OS are not the most optimal hardware or software for gaming). If there is anything that can be done to help assist me with the launch of the game I would greatly appreciate it. I'm willing to provide further information to help assist me in the launching of the game. Thank you very much, happy gaming.

Mac launcher notes
Greendq posted a topic in Archive1) Due to Apple rules we can not sign the Universim Launcher, so, please, download it ONLY from our sites: https://theuniversim.com/members/download/The Universim Launcher.app.tar.gz or http://edge.theuniversim.com/installer/macosx/The Universim Launcher.app.tar.gz To do not mess with the installer, you have to download the launcher and unpack it to your desktop or any other directory where you have write permissions. 2) When you will download archive, Gatekeeper will quarantine it, so you will not be able to run it by double clicking. Press Ctrl+rigth click on the launcher, select "Open" from the menu and allow Gatekeeper to run the application. 3) Enter your game key - it will be asked only for the first time you run the launcher. 4) Press the UPDATE button and wait while game will be updated to the latest public build.
Crossover Opens Game but Closes at Update
Scholzdg posted a topic in ArchiveHi Guys, New here so not sure if this is the correct area to post this but I've been trying to get the Pre-Alpha to open on a mac through crossover and have been able to get the game to start but when I click to update it crashes. At first I couldn't even get the game to launch, but then downloaded Direct X 9 and Microsoft.Net Framework 4.0 into the same wine bottle as The Universim and that got the game to launch finally, but like I said, couldn't get past the update after entering my activation key. Once I click update an error message comes up that says: "An exceptional situation occurred while patching: Unable to verify content for C:\Program Files\The Universim\The Universim.exe" and then the program shuts down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

This photo shows the BlackBerry DTEK60 (L) and DTEK 50 (R) smartphones. Photograph:( WION )
BlackBerry, which forayed into the Indian Android market early this year, has launched two new Android phones in the country. The DTEK50 is a mid-range smartphone and costs Rs 21,990. The DTEK60, on the other hand, is a premium Android handset and carries a price tag of Rs 46,990.
The BlackBerry DTEK50 features a 5.2-inch full HD display and a 13 megapixel rear camera. The DTEK60, however, includes a 5.5-inch Quad HD display and a 21 megapixel rear camera. Both the DTEK60 and DTEK50 come with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, 8 megapixel front camera and microSD card support of up to 2 TB.
BlackBerry refer to both the phones as "the world's most secure" Android smartphones.
BlackBerry has signed a handset distribution partnership in India with Optiemus to distribute and promote BlackBerry-branded devices in the country.
The Canadian smartphone pioneer, which has lost most of the market to Apple and others, recently said it planned to completely outsource the development of its smartphones to focus on its more profitable business of making software and managing mobile devices.
This means the Android-based DTEK60 will be the last phone for which BlackBerry buys components itself, which carries a heavier risk if it does not sell well.

EUGENE, OR — The three-time defending Emerald City champion Andromedolls (2-1) beat a battered Flat Track Furies (1-3) team 103-60 to earn a date with Church of Sk8in (2-1) in the June 9th ECRG 2012 championship game. The Furies were forced to add two visiting skaters, Skatesaphrenic Rocka Rolla and fresh meat Danger Graves, to bring their roster to twelve. Four of the Furies (Rocka, Terrin Skirtz, Medusa Harm, and Ambruisia) were skating in their second bout of the night after helping the Emerald City all-star Skatesaphrenics win.
The first 21 minutes of this bout were about as exciting as it gets. There were four lead changes. Neither team was able to get any breathing room. Then, with a slim 28-25 lead, the Dolls made their move. The bout's top scorer, Assista Suicide, used the bout's only power jam to pad the Dolls lead with a 9-0 frame. Scariel extended the lead by four more points on the following jam. The Dolls outscored the Furies 23-2 to close out the first half with the Dolls holding a 51-27 advantage.
Lead Jams: 28 | Power Jams: 1 | Jam Wins: 26
Assista Suicide 5-10, 31 pts
Sham!Pain 7-10, 28 pts
Surly Q 5-7, 17 pts
Scariel 7-10, 13pts
UO Me 4-8, 11 pts
Paige Security 0-1, 3 pts
Lead Jams: 16 | Power Jams: 0 | Jam Wins: 10
Medusa Harm 6-12, 16 pts
Terrin Skirtz 4-17, 14 pts
Vexine 3-4, 11 pts
Tatty Munster 2-5, 10 pts
Rocka Rolla 1-6, 9 pts
Sugar Hooker 0-1, 0 pts
Danger Graves 0-1, 0 pts
After three scoreless jams to kick off the second half, the Dolls slowly extended their lead on the penalty-heavy Furies. With their "Androme-Walls†anchored by captain Agent Orange, the Dolls built a 90-44 lead midway through the second half. Many of those points were thanks to Fury penalties. The Furies spent 34 minutes in the box compared to the Dolls 20, a problem compounded by the Furies' short roster. The Dolls took advantage of the penalty troubles by outscoring the Furies 20-4 on box points.
In this low-scoring bout – there were only two double-digit jams – the Dolls used their ability to get lead (they picked up lead 28 times to the Furies 16) to pick up a couple points here and there to slowly command the bout. The calm and composed Andromedolls took the win in this one 103-60.
These teams next play June 9th in Eugene. The Andromedolls play Church of Sk8in for the Emerald City Championship, and the Furies play the Snake Pit Derby Dames (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) in a battle of snake pits.

In light of the WHO Influenza strategy, the ILC-UK (International Longevity Centre – UK), the specialist think tank on the impact of longevity on society, will be holding a lunch event at the World Health Assembly to launch new research findings on attitudes to vaccination among older adults.
Health leaders across the UK have united to urge people aged 65 and over to take advantage of the NHS's biggest ever flu vaccination programme.
The number of winter deaths last year hit a record high in more than 40 years. With an estimated 50,100 excess winter deaths in England and Wales in 2017/18 – the highest recorded since winter 1975/76, experts blame the failure of last year's flu jab to adequately protect members of the public from the influenza virus.
Vaccination plays a crucial role in the prevention of infections through a persons life
NHS Employers are again running their annual Flu Fighters Awards. The Award Ceremony will take place on 24th April in Manchester.
The International Federation of Ageing (IFA) and the International Longevity Centre UK (ILC-UK) have issued a joint statement on proposed changes to the childhood pneumococcal vaccine guidelines. The organisations have issued this statement.
Interesting article in The Sun about Pneumococcal disease and the important role for vaccination.
A report by the International Longevity Centre – UK (ILC-UK) (Public Health in Europe During the Austerity Years) has highlighted how flu vaccination coverage among older people has fallen across Europe between 2004 and 2014.
The Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF) has expressed concern over a Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommendation that the number of doses of pneumococcal vaccine given to babies should be reduced.
Public Health England has announced that since the introduction of a shingles vaccine in the UK, cases have fallen by a third.

'Our leaders are like children,' school strike founder tells climate summit
(The Guardian, 4 Dec 2018) Greta Thunberg, 15, told UN summit that students are acting in absence of global leadership.
Action to fight global warming is coming whether world leaders like it or not, school student Greta Thunberg has told the UN climate change summit, accusing them of behaving like irresponsible children.
Thunberg began a solo climate protest by striking from school in Sweden in August. But more than 20,000 students around the world have now joined her. The school strikes have spread to at least 270 towns and cities in countries across the world, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the US and Japan.
"For 25 years countless people have come to the UN climate conferences begging our world leaders to stop emissions and clearly that has not worked as emissions are continuing to rise. So I will not beg the world leaders to care for our future," she said. "I will instead let them know change is coming whether they like it or not."
"Since our leaders are behaving like children, we will have to take the responsibility they should have taken long ago," she said. "We have to understand what the older generation has dealt to us, what mess they have created that we have to clean up and live with. We have to make our voices heard."
The conference of nearly 200 nations is taking place in Katowice, Poland, and its main task is to turn the vision of tackling global warming agreed in Paris in 2015 into concrete action. On Monday, Sir David Attenborough told the summit that without action "the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon".

Trade college students grow to be a part of your loved ones. Along with introducing your self to a possible host, this letter can also be an necessary tool used to match you with the most compatible Homestay, so be as honest and detailed as doable. Established bloggers are like online extremely successful folks.
The Homestay Scheme gives a chance for households to host paying guests for both the TT and Festival of Motorcycling. During my own homestay experience, we found a phenomenal serenity about sleeping in a village with minimal power. College students will be able to instantly apply their new language expertise with members of their host households.
We imagine Homestay is a couple of cultural experience, each for the scholar and Homestay Host family. Our international division can prepare a homestay with a New Zealand family who's carefully selected and visited commonly to ensure they meet the high standards required.
Households are selected because of their potential to supply a secure, protected and caring environment for all students. An adjunct homestay is a particular sort of residence occupation that allows the occupant of a residential dwelling unit to host short-time period in a single day company.

Scrolling Instagram is how I get my daily cardio. I see thousands upon thousands of images and feeds that are so beautiful, high quality and in some cases the 'Grammer looks like a straight up super model. Although it may seem like these "perfect aesthetics" are unattainable and require super fancy equipment I can confidently say that they do not. i can also confidently say that 80% of those feeds you are admiring use an iPhone to capture those images. One thing you have to remember about Instgram is that the majority of people seeing your image are looking at it on a tiny phone screen and spending maybe 5-10 seconds looking at it and the comments. With that being said, don't stress if you are just starting out and not in a position to drop thousands on a high end DSLR- because you don't need it. Here are the factors to consider when taking pictures for the gram.
The difference that good lighting can make to an image is truly ASTONISHING. Like, you can take a low quality grainy image and turn it into a high quality colour dense image just by taking it in the right lighting.
How to find perfect lighting.
- Make sure there are no shadows on the subject or models face
- Make sure you can see all of the details and there isn't any over exposure
- Try to take pictures during the day, outside or in natural lighting
What you may not notice you are intrigued by in the image is actually the setting and not the actual person. Consider an interesting background like an event, a painted wall, beautiful flowers or rollings hills. Adding something extra tot he background of an image is a great way to make your followers do a double take.
Think about what you are doing in the picture, or what is happening. Flatlays are cool, but flatlays are only interesting if they include a unique product or a group of items that complement each other and tell a story. This is especially important with food images. Making sure that if you were an objective third party looking at the image you would actually be interested by the post.
Editing is honestly where all of the magic happens. There are so many apps and presets available to take your images to a whole new level. If you are looking to create a cohesive feed that sticks with a specific aesthetic editing using the same filter or preset can make that possible.
Since you can also play with light and colour, generally as long as you are working with an image including good lighting, you can slap on a filter, tweak a few of the aspects and there you have it!
What about video?
All of the tips for images can be applied to video. Now a days the phones be it iPhone, Android, whatever all have incredibly high recording abilities. There are movies shown in theatres shot in the same 4k format that your iPhone is able to shoot in. If you have good lighting, an interesting setting great context and you can work some basic editing software- you are good to go!
What about audio?
Now, recording audio may be a little different however, don't go spending your pennies on expensive mics if you don't need to. I have always found that the Mic on the apple headphones, in a quite space can capture some excellent voice recordings. My best advice for starting out with audio is to just make sure that you are recording clearly and at a volume that can be managed. Nothing is worse than annoying background sound or distorted audio. Remember that you can always edit and chop up audio, so don't be afraid to do a few takes to get the vibe you are going for.
SEE I told you. You can totally get started without going broke! When it comes to creating content for your clients or your own business invest as you grow.

iPhone 7 release date rumours, specs & new features: When is the iPhone 7 coming out?
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus arrived in September, but little over a month later there's already chatter about what's next for Apple's smartphone, including it's release date, specs, new features and design. Here, we bring you the latest iPhone 7 speculation to help you stay up-to-date with the latest iPhone 7 news, rumours and leaks.
iPhone 7 rumours: Isn't it going to be the iPhone 6S?
Some of you might be thinking, isn't it going to be called the iPhone 6S next? After all, Apple has released an iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S and now iPhone 6 (alongside the iPhone 6 Plus). So if history repeats itself, it's likely that the next iPhone will be called the iPhone 6S rather than the iPhone 7. See also: iPhone 5S vs iPhone 6 comparison
However, Apple has surprised us somewhat ocver the past two years, releasing an iPhone 5C alongside the iPhone 5S last year, and an iPhone 6 Plus alongside the iPhone 6 this year. We're wondering whether Apple might soon decide to ditch the numbers completely and stick with iPhone, iPhone Plus and iPhone C, perhaps. Or, simply ditch the 'S' models and launch an iPhone 7.
No one knows for sure yet, but to make things simple, we'll be calling the iPhone 7 for the purpose of this article.
iPhone 7 release date rumours: When is the iPhone 7 coming out?
Looking back over the recent history of Apple's iPhone launches, it's likely that the iPhone 7 will be unveiled at a special event in September 2015.
Following the launch of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C last year, there was some speculation that Apple may begin launching new iPhones twice a year to keep up with its competition, with the iPhone 6 originally expected in April/May 2014. That speculation turned out to be incorrect so we're not betting on an April/May 2015 iPhone launch either.
Until we hear more (and we'll update you as soon as we do), we're predicting a September 2015 launch for the iPhone 7.
iPhone 7 rumours: Design, specs & new features
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus represent a big design change from their predecessor, the iPhone 5S, so it's likely that Apple won't make such significant design changes to the next generation of iPhone. Traditionally, with Apple's 'S' models, the design is almost identical to the previous iPhone's design.
So, we can expect the iPhone 7 to have a 4.7in screen (and the iPhone 7 Plus should Apple decide to launch one to have a 5.5in display), a rounded, aluminium chassis and a very slim profile. It's also likely that it'll be available in Silver, Gold and Slate Grey.
It's also likely that the iPhone 7 will have a faster A9 processor, joined by an M9 co-processor. It could boast camera improvements, too, as well as better battery life and new features such as wireless charging.
iPhone 7 with sidewall display: Apple's answer to the Galaxy Note Edge?
However, there are some rumours to suggest that the iPhone 7 could have some new design features, though we'd take these rumours with a pinch of salt.
The speculation about a new design stems from an Apple patent that was published last year. It describes what Apple calls "sidewall displays," similar to the display found on the Galaxy Note Edge.
Concept by Michael Shanks
The patent hints at a future iPhone with a display that extends onto the sides of the device, providing interactive or touch sensitive portions that give access to slide-to-unlock functionality, music player controls, messaging readout, called ID, system controls and more.
Perhaps Apple will decide to introduce the sidewall display to the iPhone 6 Plus's successor, offering even more screen estate.
While the sidewall display and Touch ID display are both great ideas, what we really want to see is a higher resolution display. The iPhone 6 Plus's display is 401ppi, but that's still not as impressive as many of its rivals, including the Galaxy Note 4 and the LG G3.
iPhone 7 rumours: Touch ID display
Another rumour that was sparked by an Apple patent is that the iPhone 7's Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which is usually situated beneath the Home button, could be built-in to the entire display, eliminating the need for a Home button and making room for a larger display without enlarging the overall size of the smartphone.
iPhone 7 rumours: Reversible USB charger
Another rumour circulating the web is that the iPhone 7 will come with a new iPhone charger, with a Lightning connector on one end and a new reversible USB connector on the other end.
In August 2014, a video of a reversible USB charger emerged on YouTube, which you can watch below.
We'll continue to update this article as more reports emerge, so check back regularly for the latest information.

Posted by: Nigel Praities Editor's Blog13 February 2017
She wakes up refreshed after a good night's sleep. Breakfast is eaten with the family before school. Backpacks are handed out and tops of heads are tousled before she leaves for work in the car.
There are signs of an early spring, although it is still February. She winds the window down and breathes in the fresh air. The contrast with a few years earlier is stark.
This journey used to be full of dread about what awaited at the surgery. But since she moved onto an Independent Medical Generalist contract (IMG)*, everything has changed. More independent than a salaried GP and less hassled than a partner, her job has been reinvented.
After gliding into a parking space marked 'GP' at the health centre, she walks into the building. The receptionist looks more grim-faced than usual; it is going to be a busy day.
She counts her blessings
Recognising a couple of faces in the waiting room she smiles briskly, avoiding conversation so she can get to her consulting room on time. She has five minutes to down a cup of tea and a moment of mindfulness before the first patient walks in.
Closing her eyes, she counts her blessings. The day will bring the usual undifferentiated symptoms, GANFYDs and while-I'm-here-doctors, but the team is now adept at filtering out most needless requests. They know she has to leave on time every day.
Her designated tea break comes at 11am, allowing her time to talk through the morning's consultations and ask advice from one of the other resident IMG doctors. She made sure she was contracted with a practice that mandated regular breaks; after experiencing burnout five years into her career at another practice, she knew their importance.
Following her break, she has a rota of 30-minute appointments for patients with complex long-term conditions. The first is an octogenarian with a lengthy list of medications and she has booked the appointment to see if she can relieve his pill burden. After getting rid of a historical PPI and an associated vitamin D prescription, she also spots a duplicate antiplatelet. Striking these medications off his list feels good and the patient seems happy.
She reaches the end of her shift and breathes out fully. This time used to be filled with a handful of urgent 'extras' squeezed onto her list, a mountain of paperwork, QOF coding and admin. But all overspill now goes to the urgent care hub and admin is done by managers employed by the health board – she's employed for her clinical skills alone.
The practice team is meeting to discuss the latest CQC directive, but that is no longer her problem. She walks past and out to her car.
Turning to look at the health centre she once owned, she feels a pang of regret. But she remembers all the children's bedtimes she missed, the sleepless nights and the despair of practising within a hair's breadth of a medicolegal nightmare. Sure, she'd like a better salary, but at least her income is predictable and can be supplemented by other passions; she is currently working on a book.
She drives home in time to help with her children's homework, singing along to the radio as she goes.

*As currently under negotiation with the BMA in Scotland, although it is far from clear yet if it will work as described here.
Readers' comments (6)
la la land surely, aspirational and idealistic, can this be achieved in the toxic HMG/GP relationship that we currently enjoy?
That is more information than I've heard from the Scottish negotiators (and technically I thought the contract was to start on 1/17 but there have been delays)
Plan to watch the film(La La Land)third time:
Still , the ending is the same.......
lol just like the Nirvana our well managed hospital colleagues enjoy!
'After parking down the road as the car park was full with the 7 managers and their assistants she ran into the building so she wouldn't miss her first patient'
She gets pulled over by the Police, who have noted the look of unbridled joy upon her face, as she lip-synchs to 'Happiness Runs' by Mary Hopkin. As the officer approaches the drivers window, she winds it down and, with dilated pupils and a little slaver at her mouths' angle she declares 'Isn't life bloody great? I'm a GP and I love my work.And today it looks like spring is at our door!'The officer pauses, turns his head to peer at his colleague, gesticulates and silently mouths the words "Effin' nutter.Bring me the breathalyser'..........

It's time to head our Isle Of Wight dealership and be amazed at the Fiesta ST-the next generation Hot Hatch. The Fiesta ST is powered by a potent 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine. Already impressive efficiency is increased by a particularly ingenious feature: a cylinder that deactivates automatically when it's not required, saving fuel when you're cruising. But what about the stats? Fiesta ST delivers exceptional performance with 200 PS, a muscular 290 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm and an anticipated 0-62 mph time of 6.5 seconds.
The Fiesta ST is available with three Selectable Drive Modes: Normal, Sport and Track. Each setting fine-tunes the car's performance by modifying engine mapping, throttle position, brake pedal and steering response. This combined with Enhanced Torque Vectoring, Electronic Stability Control, and a performance-tuned chassis, for optimal handling whether you're driving on the motorway or enjoying a day on the track.
Inspired by the expertise of Ford Performance, the chassis and suspension of Fiesta ST are tuned to deliver precision handling and exceptional control: their settings are also optimized by the selection of a drive mode
A mechanical slip differential is included with the optional performance pack. The system is designed to transfer engine power to the front wheel with the most grip. So as soon as one wheel starts to slip, power is automatically transferred to the other wheel to keep both wheels driving.
With Electronic Sound Enhancement and Active Valve Exhaust you'll enjoy the Fiesta ST experience to the full. Why: because Active Valve Exhaust is a new technology designed to create a deeper, rumble and roar based on the amount of throttle you apply. And Electronic Sound Enhancement ensures you'll hear the evocative engine when you're behind the wheel.
Why not book a test drive in the Fiesta ST with a friendly and helpful Premier Ford Sales Consultant today. Or you can pop into our dealership Newport, Isle of Wight.

A few days I ago I decided to take my car in for a long-overdue wash, but because of my poor financial situation I could only go for the $5 drive-through one. Funny enough, God always finds weird places to teach me things – and this time it was in the car wash. The last time I went through one of these I was a child, so it was a whole different kind of experience now.
After giving the attendant my money, he ushered me forward, directed me to put the car into neutral and not to touch the brakes as I went through. When I was little I would've given no thought to this, but now being responsible for a car meant that the idea of putting it in neutral and having no control over what happened was somewhat unnerving. I did as told though and waited to enter into the tight squeeze.
I remember as a kid this was a magical sort of experience, wondrous as the water tumbled over the car and I sat inside safely watching from my dry bubble. Waterfalls spilled over the top as squirts of soap began to dash across the windshield. Then the thundering roar of thwapping sent suds in every direction as the bristles and giant loofas took over the car.
Again, as a child this was a magical experience. Yet as an adult I found myself questioning the force of the jet streamed water and monstrous towels whacking against my car. I knew there was very little chance that something would go wrong, after all this had been planned out, but even still I didn't trust every scenario terrorizing my imagination.
That's when I realized it was all too similar to what happens when I don't trust God. It always starts by me paying for something I think I can't afford, then I worry about giving up control because I don't like putting my car in neutral. I want to be able to put the brakes on if something happens, but instead I sit in a perfectly safe bubble still afraid that something might go wrong.
In the end I come out cleaner with a fresh shine and blow-dried windows that I can see through much easier. No matter what in the end I will come out that way, but when I don't trust God in the process of that change it isn't as fun as when I can wonder at the magic of it like I did when I was a kid.
Just as Jesus said in Matthew 18, "unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." That change requires trusting God with a child-like faith – one that can see the majesty of something new and know that they are safe inside a bubble the whole time.
In the end, the most amusing part was realizing that the car wash was only five minutes of so called "terror" and "change," but $5 and 5 minutes is nothing in comparison to the real fear and change we must endure as part of a roller-coaster faith. Those periods can last years sometimes, and certainly they seem to cost a lot more, because God takes longer and costs more for good reasons.
Overall it was a funny experience, especially as it can seem inconsequential in retrospect. Even so it's reassuring to know that even in our American drive-through version, God can still show up to remind us that change isn't always a bad thing, and we can trust Him by leaving the car in neutral while he directs us through.
Have you ever had an experience like this that helped you understand what it means to trust God?
How is a drive-through car wash an "Americanized" version of real struggle?

Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.

I've been back from Creativation for a week and it's taking me a while to get back in the groove. I decided to use some of my new swag to make a card tonight.
I got to play with and take home some AMAZING paint from Paper Artsy. I will definitely be ordering more. It's super opaque and gorgeous colors! I also got a beautiful stencil from The Crafters Workshop with pretty flowers, circles, and doodles. So I decided to use them together to make this quick card.
I used Ink Blushers from Imagine to apply the paint through the stencil. Then I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and embossed it on vellum. What embossing powder is that, you ask?! I can't reveal the details just yet, but stay tuned! In fact, it would probably be a good idea to follow me on social media so you don't miss out!
I hope you have a wonderful, crafty day!

The Rosetta mission is all set to wind up its journey through space. It was a good thing indeed while it lasted.
Rosetta is about to finish its tasks which were not one but many. Its history-making mission is about to end in a steady decline to the surface of the comet. This will take place on the 30th of September.
Mission affirmation was reached. Today, the whole series of actions of the Rosetta mission are currently shown on livestream facility. Several distinguished experts on the matter are now discussing the implications of this mission.
Its impact action will be dealt with in a finetuned manner. Rosetta is expected to execute its 'collision manoeuvre' at 20:50 GMT / 22:50 CEST. At an altitude of 19 km, it will crash into the comet within 20 minutes of the moment (10:40 GMT / 12:40 CEST) on 30th September. That would be tomorrow.
The public will be updated regarding this issue on the official blog of Rosetta as well as through Twitter. The images will also be shared with the enthusiasts among the public.
Rosetta's Grand Finale Part I is Live Now. Watch!
On 30th September, the last minute messages will be sent to point the spacecraft in the right direction. Timings will be from 07:55–08:05 GMT / 09:55–10:05 CEST. Things will be streamlined furthermore so that everything goes as per plan.
The signals will reach earth with a gap of 40 minutes. Otherwise everything will go smooth as silk. Live sights of the mission colliding into the comet will be shown to earth's denizens soon.
As for the ESA's Facebook page, it will display a lot of information and video clips of the mission for all to gaze at in amusement and amazement.
Everything is slated to go with the ease and flow of a highly structured and pre-planned operation. It is hoped that no glitches will take place at all. This is where everyone connected in any way with the mission is keeping his or her fingers crossed.

Sunset Boulevard Reforestation Program
The next work party will be held on Saturday, January 26, 2019 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Join your neighbors and fellow volunteers to physically plant out hundreds of trees in the Sunset Boulevard Medians.
Trees from California will be prioritized with examples of other diverse trees from around the world.
The Trees We Plant
- The tree species featured in the project are mostly California native trees (both from Northern and Southern California and the Channel Islands)
- Additionally, many trees have been selected from the southern hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand) due to their drought-tolerant nature.
- These climate- adapted species have been approved by the State and Municipal Governments to ensure that the tree canopy will be robust, diverse and vital, even in the face of California's changing climate.

YOB by Jimmy Hubbard
Oregon Stoner / doom metal threesome YOB recently unleashed the beefy 14-plus minute title-track to their new album Our Raw Heart, which is due to drop on June 8th via Relapse Records, who published the following description:
From tragedy to triumph, YOB's incredible 8th full-length recording was conceived amidst dire circumstances that nearly left frontman Mike Scheidt dead. Suffering from an extremely painful and potentially fatal intestinal disease, Scheidt miraculously recovered and reinvigorated the Oregon trio with a new sense of purpose for Our Raw Heart, an album informed by the will to survive. More exposed than ever both physically and emotionally, YOB bleed out seven riveting tracks of enormous volume and pensive, transcendental beauty across 75 minutes of ultimate doom. A brilliant musical progression in the YOB continuum, Our Raw Heart is the band at their most aggressive, impassioned and eclectic. The riffs are massive, the vocals captivating and the songwriting sublime. Existing in its own organic universe, Our Raw Heart is truly the band's finest work to date and the apex achievement of what heavy music can accomplish.
Listen to the new song below.
To coincide with the release of the fresh tune, YOB have announced fall west coast dates with Acid King and CHRCH in tow. As previously announced, YOB will also play a slew of North American dates this spring with a stop at NYC's Le Poisson Rouge (w/ Bell Witch) confirmed for June 28 [TIX].

The Wolverines are back this November, and darned if it didn't take them forever to get here.
"Red Dawn," the remake of the guilty '80s pleasure, will finally hit theaters in time for Thanksgiving. The film got shelved by the same bankruptcy case that stalled the Bond franchise for several years. Complicating matters more was some last-minute editing which transformed the invading Chinese forces into North Koreans.
Can't be insulting a rising economic power like China, can we?
The new film is actually loaded with stars, but that wasn't the case when the project originally began. Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson are now "names" thanks to "Thor" and "The Hunger Games," respectively.
As for the trailer, it's clear the minds behind the film have no qualms with waving the American flag or talking about the country's greatness and fortitude.
Let's all breathe a collective sigh of relief.
The production values and effects are clearly light years beyond the original, but the source material still endeared itself to the masses in a way many movies can't. Can the new film replace the '80s model's cheese factor with first-rate action and a coherent story? Did the Chinese/North Korean switcheroo impact the narrative? And will previous '80s themed flops, like "Take Me Home Tonight," "Hot Tube Time Machine" and "Fright Night," auger badly for the new "Dawn?"
Most importantly, aren't studios terrified of making pro-American movies? If this one is a hit, how will Hollywood executives explain it away?

My husband and I both work full time, so scheduling doctor appointments can be somewhat of a challenge. Typically we'll schedule well-visits at the same time due to limited time constraints. It's safe to say neither of my kids enjoy receiving vaccines and get a little scared and nervous about their shots. My husband took the kids to their 5 and 3 year old well-visits and was told the vaccines they would be receiving, followed by a quick form with an X on it to sign prior to administering shots. This scenario wasn't any different than past visits. Only the problem this time was that the office mixed up two little girls and my daughter received vaccines meant for someone else.
Now before you go ahead and say well you should have read the forms more carefully, we agree. Somehow my child's name and DOB ended up on a form with shots required for another patient. My child received the wrong vaccines, vaccines she was administered last year and was not currently due for.
We learned a valuable lesson and thankfully one that did not come with adverse side effects or harm to our daughter.
We placed blind trust in our pediatrician's office and believed in the medical care they provided. That trust has since been broken and done so unapologetically.
I don't want to turn this into a heated debate on vaccines and whether or not they're safe. I want this to be a learning experience for all parents. Parents who believe their pediatricians and doctors have it all together. Reaching out to different mom support groups, I learned that, like myself, not all parents keep their own records and know what shots are due and when. We do take home paper forms that get tucked away in a file box, never thinking to take them to the next office visit. It's time to put a new plan in place. As parents, it's our job to keep our children safe and be their advocates. We cannot solely rely on a medical professional.
How to Keep Track of Medical Records
1\\ Keep detailed notes in a notebook that you take to every visit.
If you choose the paper route, keep a notebook that you'll take along to each and every office visit. Record notes while being seen and jot down important dates, dosages, medications and immunizations for each child. Take it a step further and research doses as well. One mom in a support group discovered her pediatrician gave the wrong dosing instructions to one of her twins, but thankfully she questioned it in time.
2\\ Go electronic.
Each well visit we leave with a couple forms stating basic height/weight checks, updated shot records, and other forms. Take photos of each form and upload to a shared Dropbox for you and your partner to easily access when needed. Change the file names to month.year and keywords for quick search (i.e. 6.18 Isabella 5 Year Shots).
3\\ Download an app.
Of course, there's an app for that. Apps designed to stored medical data are actually very safe, requiring either a password or fingerprint to access and store locally on your device.
Apple's Health app (Apple iPhone + iPad only)
GenieMD (Apple, Android, Web)
CapzulePHP (Apple iPhone + iPad only)
Storing data electronically can be useful for parents managing multiple children's health and shot records and completing health forms for summer camps, school records, and health history forms.
I am not a medical professional and am not advising for or against vaccinations. The goal is to form our own opinions, do what's best for our families and educate ourselves. Immunization schedules are available for viewing and printing on the CDC website.

See all the toys in the corner...yes, the house looks like a day care center. That's ok. They are only young for such a short time, and I want to enjoy them as much as I can.

NEW YORK—On the day before Tuesday's primary, trailing behind incumbent Congressman Charles Rangel by double digits in the polls, state Sen. Adriano Espaillat had to make every minute of campaigning count.
His Monday itinerary was a panorama of the 13th District's geography and demographic. After starting his day with a television appearance on "Good Day New York" ahead of Rangel, Espaillat shook hands with passersby at a subway station in West Harlem, then finished his morning with a visit to the Van Cortland Jewish Senior Center in Kingsbridge Heights, Bronx.
"It's a different district, it goes all the way up to Gun Hill Road in the Bronx now," said Espaillat, referring to the redrawing of the congressional district in 2012. "[Rangel's] disconnect with the district is a factor," he said.
Rangel played up his extensive experience, drawing an analogy he's used many times during his campaign.
"This is not the time to start understanding what Congress is all about," Rangel said, "If you had an old horse that kept winning races and bringing back the grand prize, why would you change him for someone who doesn't even know what a track is?"
Rangel did not have any campaign stops in the Bronx on Monday, choosing instead a graduation at the Harlem Link charter school and Bethel AME Church, both in Harlem.
Espaillat proceeded to an elementary school in the heavily Dominican neighborhood of Washington Heights in the early afternoon and finished the day rallying his base in heavily Hispanic East Harlem. If he is elected, Espaillat would be the first Dominican borne congressman.
A Fighting Chance
A Siena College poll of 708 likely primary voters June 14–18 had Rangel with a 13-point edge over Espaillat. Despite this, Espaillat said on Monday that he was "very optimistic" about Tuesday's primary.
"I was polled last Saturday and I began to speak in Spanish as I am fully bilingual, and the person couldn't understand what I was saying," he told a crowd gathered at the entrance of P.S. 189 Monday afternoon. "Minority communities are traditionally not polled accurately," he explained.
Jesse Campoamor, Espaillat's campaign manager, was similarly confident, saying that more than 23,000 have pledged to vote for Espaillat on Tuesday, 4,000 more than the number of votes Rangel received in the 2012 primary.
Campoamor also noted that the Siena poll was conducted before the New York Times endorsed Espaillat on June 19, which he said may tilt the sizable white vote in Espaillat's favor.
Also running in the primary are the Rev. Michael A Walrond and Yolanda Garcia, both of whom currently poll in the single digits.
Uphill Battle
One of the biggest challenges Espaillat faces is that many voters simply aren't familiar with who he is and will opt for Rangel by default, despite their dissatisfaction with the incumbent.
Lucy Degidon was painting in the games room of the Van Cortland Jewish Senior Center when Espaillat made a surprise visit there. Degidon is determined to vote Tuesday, although she hasn't yet decided on the candidate. She's leaning toward Rangel, still under the impression that the 22-term congressman still holds considerable sway in Congress.
"I'm not really a big fan of Rangel but I know he has seniority and when you have seniority you can be on committees and get things done," she said. "I worry that when you vote for a new person, without seniority, whether they will have a pull as far as the different issues that come up."
Rangel was censured over ethics violations in 2010 and, having stepped down from his chair of the powerful Means and Ways Committee, is currently not sitting on any committees.
Degidon said after Espaillat's visit that she was more inclined to vote for Rangel's challenger after hearing him promise to open a district office in the Bronx "on day one" of his term.
"He would have an office in our district, which we don't have right now—to go there and speak to him and bring up issues—we have a lot of senior issues here," she said.
District Concerns
Espaillat has repeatedly painted Rangel as a politician out of touch with his community; on the last day of his campaign, his rhetoric reached a boiling point.
"This is Washington versus Main Street; the Washington elite may have ideas on what should happen here," said Espaillat, adding that he had the support of local officials like Jeffrey Dinowitz, "That's why I'm going to win tomorrow."
Dinowitz is the New York state assemblyman representing the 81st District, which covers large swathes of the Bronx. The 13th Congressional District also covers part of the Bronx including the senior center Espaillat visited.
Later at a Rangel campaign stop, Espaillat's campaign manager painted Rangel as someone estranged from his own constituents, using the congressman's own words on Monday afternoon as an example of his disconnect.
After receiving an endorsement from the green taxi drivers Monday, Rangel fielded questions from reporters and concluded his stop with a ringing condemnation of the tea party movement.
"The tea party has so infected the Republican Party in the House that there is a growing movement among the Republicans to cut this cancer away from them," Rangel said.
Campoamor framed Rangel's diatribe as the smoking gun of his disconnect with the people of his district.
"He spent a lot of time talking about the tea party," he said, "I wonder if he's talked to some of the constituents here and ask what are their major issues, what they're struggling with on a day to day basis. Are they going to say whether the tea party is one of their concerns right now?"
He added that New Yorkers are struggling with rent increases and finding jobs that provide a living wage, an issue Espaillat had addressed earlier Monday.
"I am calling on the Rent Guideline Board to have a rent freeze for New Yorkers," he said. "This is a crisis."
Despite weeks of grueling campaigning, Espaillat said that he won't rest until after the primary results are released.
"This is a sprint for me now, I'm going to go 48 hours right now, no sleep."
