Are you a beginner with the Android world and are you having different difficulties in using the browser and address book on your new smartphone? Well, do not worry: the first few times it is difficult for everyone to get used to the use of operating systems and applications that are different from those that they used to use before.
In any case, tell me a little, what is the problem that is making you "despair" more than anyone? How do you say? Can not find the sites and contacts you saved in your favorites? But it's a breeze! I do not believe you can not do it. Maybe there's a problem with your browser settings or the Contacts app, which prevents you from viewing your favorite content correctly. Let's do one thing: take five minutes of free time, read the instructions I'm about to give you and try to put them into practice: I assure you that by doing so you will solve all your problems related to bookmarks and favorite contacts.
We will see how to find the favorites on Android using all the most popular browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Internet Samsung) and then we will see how to manage the favorite contacts in the system address book. I bet that at the end of the reading you will reproach yourself and you will wonder how you managed not to solve a simple problem by yourself!
Find bookmarks in Chrome for Android
Chrome is the default browser of many Android terminals, so I think it's right to start with it. If you use Chrome and do not know how to access the favorites saved in the latter, do so: start the app by pressing on its icon on the home screen or in the screen with the list of all the applications installed on the device, tap the button ⋮ located at the top right of the browser toolbar and select the Favorites item from the menu that appears.
At this point, you should be in front of the bookmarks you saved in Chrome (if you do not know how to add a site to your favorites in Chrome, just visit the latter and press first on the button ⋮ located at the top right and then the icon present in the menu that appears). To search through bookmarks and find favorites on Android , presses the icon 🔍 located at the top right and uses the bar that appears to type the title or address of the favorite site you want to find. Easy, right?
Although you have enabled bookmarks sync on your computer, can not you find the bookmarks you saved in Chrome from your PC? Do not panic, probably in Chrome's settings on Android there is some disabled option that prevents you from viewing bookmarks saved by Windows or MacOS.
To remedy the problem, presses the puls button of Chrome for Android and access the Settings of the app. Then presses on your present name at the top of the screen that opens, then on the item Synchronization and, if not, put the check mark next to the option Sync all (if you want to synchronize all the settings of Chrome with the PC, including bookmarks) or next to the Favorites option , if you want to synchronize only the bookmarks and other settings of your preference (which you can always choose from the same menu). Now wait a few seconds and you should see the favorites saved by the PC appear in the Android version of Chrome.
If you do not find your name in Chrome's Settings menu , but the Sign in to Chrome option , it means your browser is not yet associated with your Google Account. Pigia then on the item in question and log in with the data of your Google account (the same as you use in Chrome on your computer). When logged in, activate the synchronization of the favorites as explained above. If some steps are not clear to you and / or you want some more information on how to synchronize Chrome favorites , consult the tutorial I dedicated to the topic.
To conclude, I point out that another way to quickly find the bookmarks saved in Chrome is to type the title or address in the address bar of the browser: the bookmarks will appear in the list of suggestions of Chrome.
Find favorites in Firefox for Android
Have you decided to use Firefox as your default browser on your Android terminal? No problem. Indeed, accessing favorites and finding them is easier than ever in Mozilla's home browser.
To view the complete list of bookmarks that you have saved in Firefox, all you have to do is start the app by selecting its icon in the home screen (or in the list with all the apps installed on your device), press the ⋮ button located at the top right of the screen that opens and select the Bookmarks item from the menu that appears on the device.
Mission accomplished! You have just arrived in the Firefox bookmarks management page, inside which there are the bookmarks you saved from your smartphone or tablet (if you do not know how to add a site to the bookmarks, just visit it, press the ⋮ button located at the top on the right and select the icon ⭐ from the menu that opens), plus a folder, called desktop pc bookmarks , which contains the favorites added to Firefox by computer.
If you do not see the bookmark folder saved by PC or it is empty, make sure you have enabled the Firefox Sync service on your computer (go to menu ☰> Options / Preferences> Firefox Account ) and the option to Bookmark is active.
Then go on Android, presses the pulse button of Firefox, access your browser settings by selecting the appropriate item from the menu that appears, presses on your email address and, if not yet, put the check mark next to the item Bookmarks . If you do not see your email address in the Firefox settings menu, it means that you have not yet activated Firefox Sync on Android and then you have to log in to the service (using the same credentials used on the PC) by pressing on the appropriate entry.
Once you've uploaded your bookmarks in Firefox, you can search for them using the browser's address bar directly: once you've typed the title or the address of a favorite site, in fact, this will appear in Firefox's suggestions marked with the icon.
Find favorites in Edge for Android
Microsoft has brought Edge , the default browser of Windows 10, even on Android. If you use Edge on the computer and now you want to learn to manage the bookmarks of this browser on Android, here's how to do it.
First, start Edge by selecting its icon from the home screen of your smartphone / tablet or from the screen with the list of all the apps installed on the device. Then presses the star button located at the top right, select the icon star from the screen that opens (top left) and browse the favorites that are currently saved in the browser. To search through the bookmarks, presses the search icon and use the search bar that appears at the top.
If you do not know how to add a new favorite to Edge for Android, visit the site of your interest, presses the star button located at the top right and select the item Add current page to Favorites from the screen that opens.
By accessing Edge's favorites list, did not you find the bookmarks you saved on your PC? You probably have not enabled data synchronization on your computer or smartphone.
To remedy the problem, start Edge on your computer, press the button … located at the top right, select the item Settings from the bar that appears to the side and make sure that the lever under the heading Account is activated (if it is not, activated you ). If then no account is configured in the browser, remedy the problem by connecting your Microsoft account to the PC: find out how to do in my tutorial on how to change Microsoft account.
At this point, switch to your Android device, start Edge, presses the button … located at the bottom right and select the Settings item from the menu that appears. On the screen that opens, tap your name on the screen that opens, make sure that the sync switch (sync) is set to ON and, if necessary, turn on the Sync option your favorites and reading list between phone and PC (synchronize your favorites and the reading list between phone and PC) which is a little lower.
If you have a Samsung device and use the browser produced by the Korean company , you can access your favorites simply by starting the latter and pressing the Favorites button located at the bottom right. It will open a page with all the sites you've added to bookmarks with, at the top, the 🔍 icon to allow you to search within the latter.
Another way to access your Samsung browser bookmarks is to type the title or address in the address bar : Favorites results are marked with the ⭐ icon next to their name.
Not sure how to add a bookmark in the Samsung browser? Nothing easier: visit the site of your interest, presses the ⋮ button located at the top right and select the item Add to Favorites from the menu that appears.
To enable synchronization of bookmarks between multiple devices, however, presses the ⋮ button located at the top right, select the entry Add to Favorites from the menu that appears and go to Sync with Samsung Cloud . If you need more information on how to access Samsung Cloud , see the tutorial I wrote on the subject.
Find favorites in Android Contacts.
Your intention is not to find bookmarks in the browser, but to quickly access the contacts you have added to favorites in the Android phonebook? Do not worry, it's another simple operation. All you need is the Contacts application of your smartphone and thirty seconds of free time, maybe even less!
After starting the Contacts app, if this does not already show you the list of favorite names at the top of the screen (the favorite names should be marked with the ⭐ icon next to the first of them), presses the ⋮ button located in top right and select the Customize View item from the menu that appears.
In the screen that opens, put the check mark next to the item Customize , select the box in Starred in contacts and presses the button Save . In this way you should be able to view the list of your favorite contacts in the main screen of the Contacts app, at the top of the list of names in the address book.
If you want to add a new contact to your favorites and do not remember how to do it, select the latter in the address book and tap the ★ icon located at the top right. Easier than that?

What kind of impression did you get about the 49ers organization when you came out here to visit?
"Man, greatness. Greatness, man. I'm trying to be the great, the next [former 49ers LB] Patrick Willis, the next great linebacker in their history."
Did you get a chance to meet LB NaVorro Bowman and what do you think about the prospects of lining up next to him?
"It'll be great, man. I'm going to learn from a great vet and just pick his brain and just be able to come in and make a big impact. Just working hard, man. Just really showing them what I'm capable of and just showing my passion for the sport for real."
How surprised are you to still be there at number 31 when the Niners take you?
"I was surprised, man. I was very surprised. I thought I wasn't going to make it. I thought I wasn't going to make it, but I'm just happy that they just believed in me and just trusted in me and to pick me and just give me a chance."
Do you have kind of a chip on your shoulder knowing that you fell so far being the top-10 talent?
"Man, it's like I always said man, turn a negative into a positive. I've got to prove, just prove my fact. I've got to just prove my passion for the sport. I've got a chip on my shoulder, true yeah. I've got things to prove, big things to prove."
What do you have to prove?
"You know, like people think about the character off the field and everything, but I've just got to show 'em like, how serious I take my job."
What is it about Patrick Willis as a player that you admire?
"His passion about the sport. His aggressiveness. His leadership role. He's got the passion for the sport that I want to be. Like, I want to have that passion up there for the 49ers. Like, I want to be that next Patrick Willis, where people are saying being that next Reuben Foster."
How much do you know about DL Solomon Thomas, your new teammate? Seems like you guys are going to be the centerpiece of this rebuild.
"I'm about to get real acquainted with him. I don't know him as well, but I'm about to get real acquainted with him. We're going to be best friends, trust me."
What's the status of the shoulder?
"It's 90-percent. I'll be ready for training camp."
Do you think concerns about the shoulder explain part of the reason why you slid down to 31?
"I don't know. I don't care. It's a blessing that they just picked me period up in this position I am in."
What do you think of general manager John Lynch when you came out here?
"Oh, John Lynch is a great guy. He's a great guy. Real. Real. He gives it to you straight. He's a defensive guy, so we've got to bond together. So, we've got an automatic bond. He's a defensive guy. That itself means a lot, because he's so loved. He's like a family. He's loved. He's humble. I could tell he was interested in me when he saw me on the visit by myself."
Did you guys have a chance to bond?
"Yeah, we had a chance to bond. He just told me the passion he had for the sport. We share the same passion."
You had the incident at the combine where you were sent home and then you had a diluted sample. Do you think there were also concerns about off the field issues?
"Yeah, of course. People were concerned about the diluted sample. People were concerned about me just getting kicked out of the combine. But, they gave me a chance. They gave me a chance and I really appreciate the 49ers. I'm just ready to go hard and work hard and just prove that I'm worthy of that spot and they're not going to regret it."
You play a position obviously prone to having to be a leader. How would you describe your leadership style? What will you bring to the Niners in that regard?
"I bring the passion. I bring a fire to the team like no other. I give people love and respect. The player next to me are going to want to play with the passion I play. You show by example. You show by leadership. You show by vocals. I'm all of the above. If I feel like I've got to show by vocal, I'll show by vocal. If I feel like I've got to show by example, I'll show by example, which I'm always up to by leading by example. I just feel like I can just bring a lot for this defense a lot."
You said you bring a passion and fire like no other. Where does that come from?
"Just me playing football. Football is my specialty. Football is my domain. Football is my mind. Football is my home. So, I show passion like no other because it's my home. If I didn't have football, I'd have nothing but my family."
I'm not sure how much you've watched this 49ers team this past season, but they gave up the second to worst yards per game in the league. How are you going to approach suring up the middle of the field at that linebacking position?
"Stuff that hole."
Can you elaborate on that a little more?
"Stuff the hole. Take on my blocks. Do my assignments. Find my alignment."
How familiar are you with defensive coordinator Robert Saleh's defensive scheme?
"If it's similar to [Alabama head] coach [Nick] Saban's defensive scheme, it should be easy. Just different terminology."
Have you gotten any indication of where you might line up in the defense?
"Wherever Patrick Willis lined up, I guess."
You seem to reference Patrick a lot. Is that someone who you say you've modeled your game after?
"Yeah. Patrick Willis and [former Baltimore Ravens LB] Ray Lewis."
If you had to describe your game in one word, what would it be? Because you're a pretty violent hitter and when you hit that open field, you have no fear whatsoever. How would describe your game in one word if someone's asking?

The Glamourous Life - Merci Paris!
The other day we took a bus tour of historic Paris. L'ile et Le marais(the marsh)is a district that was chateaus of the wealthy after it was drained and filled in. (Isn't this part of Monty Python's Holy Grail)
Then it deteriorated, as did the royalty apparently, to just a seedy area for unsavory types. Then it became a trendy area...this transformation is over the time of a few hundred years. Anyway, this is not so much about the history lesson
The internet can give all that information. My point is that on my last day in Paris I decided to walk to place de la bastille, where the modern opera house is and le marais and ...give my thanks with each step for all that this city represents.
Sludging through the snow in Paris this morning...it was a bit rainy, and I follow the Canal St Martin. After a bit the Canal is a boulevard. I ask an older lady if I am going the right way.
She say yes but it is a very long walk.
It kinda was.
There was a diplomatic line of BMWs behind the Hotel De Ville. A woman walking passed me asked conversationally if I knew who was visiting. I gave a Gallic shrug. She said probably some American Rock Star.
In the market of restaurants, bistros, cafes,brasseries around St Michel I stop at one that has...boeuf bourguignon! I order, and the waiter starts laughing. It has been 'the thing' since Julie/Julia movie.
Just like the Mona Lisa wasn't notice for centuries then a little press and well, with anything famous, it is the spin.
I taste it and I start laughing.. my mom's stew. Fabulous.
I have walked over 10 km today. So many thoughts, actions, ideas have happened on these streets. And the lights come on.
The city of lights.
The city of love.
What a wonderful place.
bread in the morning...
flowers from Cite, Paris.... for you!
Place de la Bastille in the fog.

Oh what a great story, from beginning to end. Your story telling is just right, I feel we're walking together down the street, tasting the croissant, and reeling over the beauty of rows of colored pigments in the art supply store!ReplyDelete
I must say, I enjoyed the food pictures as much as the art and architecture...perhaps that dinner is ready now!
I have so enjoyed your trip with you! Paris is on my list of one days.ReplyDelete

Time to break another myth! Let's talk about Goa beyond its sunny self: True, it's one of the coolest beach destination in the world and it's just awesome to get tanned at Baga and Candolim. But have you ever considered visiting Goa in Monsoon? No? Well, then you should.
Let me help you paint that picture in your mind. Think empty, drenched beaches; pristine greens, swelling waterfalls and all the financial benefits of an off season visit. Yes, now you know what I am talking about.
So, here are some compelling reasons and things to do in Goa during monsoon that will have you fall in love with its drenched form
Travel cheap, very cheap !!
Check for yourself, tickets for August would come at around INR 8,000 (round trip) if you book a flight right away. That's like half of what you pay during peak season! And for the lucky ones down south, witnessing rainy season in Goa is just a bus ride or a road trip away!
World class accommodation at flat 50% Off or even lesser
And not just travel cheap but you could also stay cheap and other activities like water sports that cost sky high otherwise would come cheaper in Goa in July. The tariff literally slashes down 50% of what they would charge in the peak season. So, getting a fine hotel room at INR 500 right next to the beach is no big deal at all!
Tip: While Baga & Calangute are the most preferred beaches for accommodation, I suggest, pick a stay at Candolim Beach. Not only its empty throughout the night, if the weather permits, you could have a great bonfire time with some beer & friends! (Yes, its safe – but go in a group and stay away from the sea at night).
Lesser the crowd, more the privacy to do whatever you feel like!
The inescapable problem of Goa- Solved! The beaches are much more peaceful and pretty due to the minimal crowd during monsoon season in Goa in August too. You can just run around making a fool of yourself!
Witness the Dudhsagar falls in its mightiest form!
Goa's iconic Dudhsagar falls is in its full glory during the rains which is one of the most amazing monsoon activities to do in Goa in September. Its powerful gush becomes almost dizzying! Stand close too close to it could get you completely drenched.
You can reach the falls either by train or by road through Panaji or Madgaon. And if your young bones are screaming out for more you could also trek up the fal
Rent a scooter to ride in the rains at just INR 175/-
If you like the little drops of rain splashing across your face as you zoom through the wind, this is highly recommended for you. Moreover, since it's off season the bike rentals come cheap. It'll cost you around INR 175 to INR 250 (based on how well you manage to bargain) while in Goa in monsoon season
Be a part of unending celebrations, even in Monsoon!
Monsoon in Goa brings in the joy of many festivities like; fertility feast of Sao Joao or St.John the Baptist, celebrated on the 24th of June, the festival of St Peter in July that's celebrated by erecting floating stages in the rivers and various cultural programmes.
While in August, Divar island gets ready for the famous Bonderam Festival. The festival begins with a vibrant parade with multi coloured flags and the entire island comes alive with performances by famous local bands
Do try the famous Goan Fish Curry!
Yes, you'll get it at any other time of the year as well but the fishes are the freshest in Goa during monsoon and it tastes like heaven!
Don't forget to take the 'Dil Chahta Hai' selfieat the Chapora fort!
The haunting beauty of the Chapora fort and the Vagator beach makes it some of the best places to visit in Goa in monsoon. There are other forts as well which are great to visit but Chapora definitely make it to the top of the list when it's all cloudy and beautiful.
Witness greenery at its best in the wildlife sanctuaries of Goa
The wildlife sanctuaries are definitely the best places to visit in Goa in monsoon. Unlike other places, the reserves here are open throughout the year and to witness fresh, green and pristine milieu washed in the rain is an experience you just can't miss.
Some of Goa's popular wildlife sanctuaries include Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary, The Bhagwan Mahavir Sanctuary, Mollem National Park and Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary.
Witness the foliage at the Spice plantations
The spice plantations are no less refreshing and pristine, washed up in the Goan torrents. The Savoi spice plantation is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Goa during monsoon that can reached through a serene drive along the verdant valley and tropical forests.
All the lover of rains must visit Goa in monsoon to see how the little drops from the sky illuminates the place and makes it unbelievably pristine and romantic. It comes alive in a lush green tropical vibe and everything feels fresh, wet and clean.
So, now that you're aware of all the amazing things to do in goa in monsoon, you can satiate your rainy day wanderlust even when you're badly strapped for cash.
Stay Tuned !!!

Metastatic breast cancer refers to the advanced form of breast cancer that has spread from its site of origin to distant organs. This form of breast cancer is designated as stage IV and has a poor prognosis.
This refers to the stage of breast cancer in which cancer cells from the breast have travelled to another part of the body. Bones, liver, and lungs are the most common sites to which breast cancer cells spread. Breast cancer detected at this stage is not curable.
Symptoms of metastatic breast cancer
Other than the normal symptoms of breast cancer like development of lump in breast and other changes associated with its appearance, there are several other symptoms, which may indicate metastasis. These are the following:
- Bone metastases is indicated by bone fracture and pain
- Lung metastases is indicated by breathing difficulties
- Liver metastases is indicated by weight loss and lack of appetite
- Neurological metastases is indicated by headaches, seizures, weakness, and nausea
Organs to which breast cancer cells mostly spread
Bone: Around one-fourth of metastatic breast cancer leads to bone cancer. These are of two types:
Osteolytic cancer: Holes are formed in the bones, which leads to bone fractures. It causes severe pain.
Osteoblastic cancer: Density of the bones increases in this case, which makes them prone to fractures and breaks. It also causes severe pain.
Lung: Most deaths associated with metastatic breast cancer is due to the metastasis of the breast cancer cells to lungs.
Liver: Metastasis of breast cancer cells to liver is associated with two-thirds of metastatic breast cancers.
Brain: Breast cancer cells also spread to the brain in some cases.
- Clinical breast exams: This is the physical examination of the breast done by the doctor.
- Mammogram: This imaging technique uses X-rays to produce images of soft tissue of the breast.
- Chest X-ray: The chest x-ray remains probably the most valuable tool in diagnosing metastatic breast cancer.
- Bone scan: A bone scan or bone scintigraphy is an imaging test used to determine metastasis of breast cancer cells to the bones. A radioactive substance is injected into a vein in one arm before the scan begins.
- CT scan: It is an imaging procedure of the internal organs of the body with the help of X ray machine attached to a computer.
- MRI scan: The imaging technique is based on the use of a strong magnetic field and radio waves. The images can be viewed on a computer screen. It helps to diagnose the size and location of the cancer.
Biopsy: Cells or small piece of tissue collected from the affected regions are viewed under a microscope to detect their characteristics.
Treatments for Metastatic Cancer
Metastatic breast cancer can have different modes of treatment, but systemic therapy is the best approach to treat metastatic breast cancer.
Surgery and Radiation therapy:
Surgery and/ or radiation therapy may be useful only for selected patients. Conditions for which this kind of therapy can be applied are:
Open wounds in the breast, limited metastases, bone fractures, pressing of the overgrown region on the spinal cord, liver blockage, pain, bronchial obstruction, lung, and brain metastases.
Strontium 89 can be administered to treat diffuse bony metastases.
Regional chemotherapy:
This therapy is applied in some cases where drugs directly reach the affected site.
Systemic Therapy:
Systemic therapy is the best mode of treatment for metastatic cancer for reducing the size of tumor, increasing life expectancy and relieving pain, but does not cure cancer and may include the following:
Hormone therapy: Patients with estrogen or progesterone receptor positive tumor can undergo hormone therapy. Tamoxifen is frequently used for this purpose. It blocks the effects of estrogen. There are also drugs called aromatase inhibitors that prevent estrogen from being made by postmenopausal women, who still produce small amounts.
In premenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer, estrogen production can be blocked by medication, or the ovaries can be removed.
One-fourth of breast cancer patients show higher expression of HER2/neu. Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the HER2/neu receptor. It can be administered in combination with chemotherapeutic agents or with the hormone therapy drug letrozole. Lapatinib (Tykerb), another agent for hormone therapy also blocks the activity of the HER2 protein.
Therapy to relieve pain: Bisphosphonates like pamidronate (Aredia) or zoledronic acid (Zometa) are used to reduce skeletal morbidity in patients with bone metastases. Calcium and vitamin D, along with these drugs are also recommended. Pain from bone metastases may also be treated with radiation.
Cytotoxic chemotherapy
Cytotoxic chemotherapy can be provided to patients whose tumors have progressed on hormone therapy. Patients with Her 2 negative tumors and visceral metastases can be treated with cytotoxic drugs such as Doxorubicin, Epirubicin, Mitoxantrone, Paclitaxel, Docetaxel, Cyclophosphamide, Capecitabine, 5-FU, Methotrexate, Vinorelbine, Cisplatin, Mitomycin C, and Gemcitabine in various combinations.
Prognosis of metastatic breast cancer depends on the extent of spread of the breast cancer cells, type or organ to which secondary cancer has developed, time between treatment and relapse, and a patient's general health. Proper treatment is essential for increasing the time of survival after detection. Most patients liver for another 2-3 years, some for 5 years and rarely a very few live for 10 years. The five-year survival rate for Stage IV metastatic breast cancer is around 15%.

On Thursday, Texas Republicans unveiled new legislation aimed at limiting access to restrooms for transgender people in the state. Yes, almost a year after North Carolina saw business flee and its reputation plummet after passing a similar law last spring, the lone state state is moving forward with their own bathroom bill, and setting the stage for a new showdown over LGBTQ rights.
Speaking to the press at a news conference announcing the proposed "Privacy Protection Act," Lt. Governor Dan Patrick framed the law as a way to prevent sexual predators from using local ordinances that allow trans people to use the restroom that aligns with their gender identity as a loophole to commit assaults.
Patrick opened his press conference Thursday by quoting Martin Luther King Jr., telling reporters, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
"Transgender people have obviously been going into the ladies' room for a long time, and there hasn't been an issue that I know of," Patrick told reporters. "But if laws are passed by cities and counties and school districts that allow men to go into a bathroom because of the way they feel, we will not be able to stop sexual predators from taking advantage of that law, like sexual predators take advantage of the internet."
The law specifically prohibits men from entering women's restrooms, but makes no mention of women entering men's rooms, since "men can defend themselves," Patrick said.
In a statement, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton cited his state's previous attempts to thwart the Obama administration's effort to enforce trans restroom access:
After our success in stopping President Obama's bathroom rules in court, states are now free to enact legislature of their choosing to protect privacy. Texans should feel safe and secure when they enter any intimate facility, so I applaud the work of Lieutenant Governor Patrick and Senator Kolkhorst for fighting to protect women and children from those who might use access to such facilities for nefarious purposes.
Patrick has long pushed for Texas to enact this sort of anti-LGBTQ legislation, telling KVUE this past April that, "I would sacrifice an election over keeping men out of my granddaughter's bathroom." Experts estimate the state could lose approximately $8.5 billion dollars annually should the bill pass—presumably for the same reasons North Carolina's economy was hit.
At the Texas Statehouse, where the Privacy Protection Act was introduced by Republican lawmakers, protesters stood holding signs and chanted "shame."
"After having watched the debacle in North Carolina, it is shocking that the Lieutenant Governor would be so intent on pursuing SB6," Texas ACLU Legal and Policy director Rebecca Robertson said in a statement. "It's unnecessary, discriminatory and inconsistent with the constitutional value of equal protection for all. And that's to say nothing of the havoc it will wreak on the Texas economy should it pass.
"Make no mistake, Robertson added, "the invidious intent of SB6 is to deny transgender Texans the ability to participate in public life."
Local CBS affiliate KEYE reported that state lawmakers are expected to approve the bill.

D2 and D3 were/are excellent, though D2 is overrated imo. it gets really repetitive with not enough locations or vehicles. I don't see that being a problem here though.

Twitter Usage Depends on Mobile Experience
There's no doubt that mobile is a huge space for social media. Over the past several years, Internet usage has largely moved from the web to smartphones and tablets, increasing the need for social networks to adapt to mobile.
Twitter and Facebook have catered to users by creating more intuitive user interfaces, both with apps and mobile web. However, according to Nielsen's new U.S. Digital Consumer Report, the average Twitter mobile user uses the smartphone app for a little more than three hours per month, as opposed to PC users, who spend 36 minutes on the platform per month. That's a higher percentage than Facebook, whose average mobile user uses the smartphone app nearly eight hours per month, compared to PC users spending six hours per month on the social network.
Created by Statista, the following chart shows how users are using the two social media sites, and for how long. Even though Facebook users spend more time on the platform, Twitter's smartphone app is getting more mileage in the long run.

An enormous infinite loop is being built in Cupertino, California. When finished, the structure will look like a giant metallic doughnut laying on its side. Natural light will shower the inhabitants inside. The elegant structure will sit in the center of Silicon Valley and be a technological beacon.
Architects Foster + Partners will work with ARUP North America and Kier & Wright (a local civil engineering firm that has worked on Apple's current campus and buildings). The 2.8 million square foot building will accommodate around 13,000 employees.
iFuntion Follows iForm
Natural light and open views will be a signature for the building. White metal and glass wraps around the building, while the surrounding landscape will look natural and unmanicured. The building is meant to encourage the observation of nature. A park one third of a mile across will occupy the center of the complex, which features:
- 1,000-seat Corporate Auditorium
- Corporate Fitness Center
- Research Facilities comprising approximately 300,000 square feet
- Central Energy Plant
- Parking
The Apple Campus will be extremely detailed and clean, not unlike the Apple Store.
Apple's architect, Norman Foster, is world renowned. He also designed Stanford University's Clark Center (above).
Gilbert Wong, Cupertino's mayor approved Apple's proposed building plans. "There is no chance that we're saying no." Wong told the city in a June press conference. "This mothership really has landed here in Cupertino."
When Steve Jobs presented the plans for the complex to the Cupertino City Council, he said the design was focused on reducing electricity use, mainly by generating its own energy on an on-site Central Plant. The complex would also provide open green spaces for Apple employees to enjoy. "It will exceed economic, social, and environmental sustainability goals through integrated design and development," he said. "If you build things, this is not the cheapest way to build something," Jobs explained.
Plans show the structure in place just North of the 280, a major Bay Area freeway.
"There is not a straight piece of glass in this building. It's all curved. We've used our experience making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use," Jobs said. "And we want to make the glass specifically for this building here. We can make it curve all the way around the building…It's pretty cool."
Steve Jobs last public appearance was to introduce and propose the new Apple campus to the Cuppertino City Council.
The campus will open in 2015. For now, you can see blueprints of the new Apple Campus. Apple is considered the most valuable company in the world. App development for Apple iDevices is a booming business as Apple continues to surge forward by innovating with the iPhone 5 and iPad 3. It will be exciting to see what new inventions come out of this new campus.

Media 'missed main event'
ACTIVISTS from the Northern Rivers have criticised media coverage of a protest on Australia Day that led to Prime Minister Julia Gillard being jostled and losing her shoe.
Around 100 people from the Northern Rivers travelled to Canberra last week to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.
Some of the activists gathered again yesterday around a sacred fire at the home of Bundjalung spokesman Robert Corowa.
Mr Corowa said he was disappointed media attention had focused on Ms Gillard's lost shoe, instead of the three-day Corroboree for Sovereignty.
"Everyone was there for the same reason - to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy - which is the only true voice of Aboriginal people in Australia," he said.
Images of Ms Gillard fleeing the protest made international headlines, but Mr Corowa said this was the fault of her security staff, not protesters.
"There was no violence on our side but we were violated a couple of times," he said.
"A friend of mine who is a dancer from Stradbroke Island was pushed in the face by the police."
Al Oshlack, who works for the Indigenous Justice Advocacy Network in Lismore, said it was "terrible" to see the Prime Minister being jostled.
"There ought to be some inquiry into how lax the security was because no-one was there to hurt anyone and none of the protesters were arrested because there was no criminal damage."
The activists took a chai tent to the embassy and Mr Oshlack said it became the focus of celebrations.
"The support from the North Coast community was amazing. We fed everyone virtually three meals a day and everybody looked after all the old people."
Lismore resident Binnie O'Dwyer took her two children to the tent embassy and described it as a "kid-friendly and safe space".
"The protest was five minutes out of three or four days of celebrations and great music," she said.
Mr Corowa said the tent embassy remains an important symbol of the ongoing fight for Aboriginal rights in Australia.
"The bottom line is as the first people of Australia we should be treated with a little bit more respect," he said.
"We own this land - we've been here for 40,000 years - and we're not going away."

Release Date: 1999 |
Album Rating: 3.0Great review. I really love the female vocals on this, but sometimes I feel that parts of the album drag on too long with not much happening. I have Bath and that is amazing, so I'll be getting Leaving Your Body Map soon.
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks, I didn't have the same "dragging on" problem you had. Most of my complaints come from the lo-fi production.
Album Rating: 4.5I have the dragging problem, but it's rare for me.
Album Rating: 4.0Very good review! It's about time someone got around to reviewing this. I find it to be extremely good, though a bit tiresome to listen to at times due to its song lengths.
Album Rating: 4.5I would of reviewed this, but I've been really busy with f***ing school.
Album Rating: 4.0I had this entire week off of school so I wrote a couple of reviews, I hoped you liked this one.This Message Edited On 04.22.07
Bad music.
Album rules.
Album Rating: 4.0What did you think of the review????
Review rules.
I was actually planning to do this myself but I'm way too lazy.
Album Rating: 4.0I wanted to give this a 4.5 so badly. I guess I'm not man enough
Album Rating: 4.0Undine and Underwater Flowers is too good.
Album Rating: 4.0Remastered release next month, when was this announced? I just learned about this a couple days ago.
http://www.darksymphonies.com/releases.htmlThis Message Edited On 08.12.07
Album Rating: 4.0No way! Best news I've heard in a long while.
Just pre-ordered mine.This Message Edited On 08.12.07
Album Rating: 4.0Dreaming Shrines is soooo good.
Album Rating: 4.0Well I'm not sure it's possible for anything involving Toby Driver to fail.
Album Rating: 4.0Just ordered the re-release of this. Thanks for pointing that out. Hopefully I will listen to it more with the re-master, because the only thing that keeps me away from this is that the poor sound quality can be a little tiring. I don't mind lo-fi recordings at all, in fact I love it when it works, but this is material that lends itself to a better recording.
by god, one of the songs on the re-release, called "beauty", is probably one of MOTW's all time best songs. such a beautiful, haunting, perfect night driving song.
Album Rating: 5.0unfortunately underrated, mostly because of the poor sound, which in fact doesn't really matter at this high level of challenging music.
the biggest plus of psychobells is it's intensity, a pure inspiration, for some people too much, but not for me.
the 3 best songs are obviously:
undine and underwater flowers
the ocean, the kingdom and the temptation
catharsis of sea sleep
and that 3 songs make psychobells the best motW release. and even better than kayo dot releases.This Message Edited On 10.03.07
Ohhh this music is orgasmic

Fujifilm is helping make the world a better, healthier, and more interesting place. Learn more about what we're about.
The premium mirrorless X-Series range now expands to offer a super telephoto lens.
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) is proud to announce that a new FUJINON XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR will be added to the X-Series mirrorless camera line-up in February 2016. With its introduction, the premium mirrorless X-Series range now expands to offer a super telephoto lens.
The FUJINON XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is a super telephoto zoom lens that covers a 35mm focal length equivalent of 152-609mm. The high performance optical construction of 21 elements in 14 groups includes five ED lenses and one Super ED lens to help reduce chromatic aberration that often occurs in telephoto lenses. As a result, it delivers the highest image quality in its class. The lens has been designed for handheld shooting with a 5.0-stop* image stabilisation system and weighs less than 1.4kg.
The linear motor realises fast autofocusing and makes it perfect for shooting fast-moving subjects including aircraft and motorsports. The lens is also both water and dust resistant and can operate in temperatures as low as -10°C, so it is suitable for use in a wide range of outdoor shooting conditions. A fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to repel water and dirt, further improving the toughness of the lens.
* CIPA guidelines, at the telephoto end.

The Eye of Ra
by Michael Asher
Julian Cranwell, obsessed by his search for a legendary lost city, has disappeared in Cairo.
His colleague, Omar Ross, a maverick archaeologist, sets out to find out what could have happened to him when he discovers a panicked voice-mail from Julian. Someone is coming for him, he says, someone after the 'Akhnaton ushabtis'…
He immediately flies to Cairo and finds the body of his friend. He starts talking to Julian's friends and family, including his friend Kolpos and his gorgeous Greek assistant, Elena. It turns out Julian was referring to the ancient tomb of Akhnaton, almost a myth to the world. But Julian had found some long lost artefacts and taken it to expert Robert Rabjohn who confirms that they are the real thing. When Ross finds strange connections between the deaths of Julian, Tutankhamen, Howard Carter and Orde Wingate, all years apart, he becomes concerned for his own safety.
Julian's body goes missing and then a strange message is found which says 'Let the Eye of Ra descend', referring to the ancient God Ra who sent his Eye to slay all the human beings…
Every contact and every informant he speaks to disappears. How long will it be before the culprits catch up with him too? Threatened, almost friendless, Ross turns for help to his mother's people, the Bedouin Hawazim tribe.
It is only with their help, that he can solve the mystery of The Eye of Ra…

Daniel Koltonski '02
Daniel Koltonski '02 was recently selected by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation to be a Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellow for 2008. The Newcombe Fellowship is "the nation's largest and most prestigious award of its kind for Ph.D. students, addressing ethical and religious questions in the humanities and social sciences." It awards $23,000 to each fellow for 12 months of dissertation work. Koltonski, who graduated from Swarthmore with high honors in philosophy, is a doctoral student at Cornell University. His dissertation Political Obligation in a Democracy analyzes the protective and destructive powers of the law in relation to individual freedom, arguing as follows: "We have a basic duty to respect each other's freedom, the fulfillment of which requires authoritative law as a tool; but we can only prevent others from using this tool instead to endanger our freedom by achieving a genuinely democratic community."

Floobs, a livestreaming video startup, says it is poised to file for bankruptcy today or tomorrow.
Nordic regional tech blog ArcticStartup has confirmed the news with the founders, who cite sales of their B2B product not matching their current burn rate. Floobs was based out of Helsinki.
Co-founder Kai Lemmetty says they were due to close an angel round before Christmas, but this didn't happen after one of the parties backed out, collapsing the deal.
Floobs had signed up clients like football clubs, especially in Spain, but this clearly wasn't enough and came too late.
However, people with videos on the site should be able to download them before the site goes dark, they say.
Co-founders Kai Lemmetty and Joonas Pekkanen haven't disclosed any future plans as yet.
Floobs launched in Berlin in late 2008.

[JURIST] The federal government on Friday requested additional time for oral argument [brief, PDF] before the US Supreme Court to argue that the minimum coverage provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) [HR 3590; JURIST backgrounder], which requires almost every US citizen to obtain health insurance by 2014 or face a tax penalty, is constitutional. The government requested an additional 30 minutes, which would bring the total time allotted for oral argument to six hours. The government is defending [JURIST report] the health care minimum coverage requirement by attempting to keep the focus of the argument on health care reform as a whole [SCOTUSblog report], rather than on the specific minimum coverage provision. Arguments are scheduled for March 26–28.
The court granted certiorari to rule on health care reform law [JURIST report] in three separate cases, originally reserving five-and-half-hours for oral argument on the issue. The court agreed to hear two hours of arguments on the constitutionality of the individual insurance mandate issue in Department of Health and Human Services v. Florida [docket; cert. petition, PDF]. The court will consider Issue 1, which asks, "whether Congress had the power under Article I of the Constitution to enact the minimum coverage provision." The court also directed parties to brief and argue the question of whether the challenge to PPACA is barred by the Anti-Injunction Act [26 USC § 7421(a)], reserving one hour for argument on that issue. The court consolidated the cases of National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius [docket; cert. petition, PDF] and Florida v. Department of Health and Human Services [docket; cert. petition, PDF] and will hear 90 minutes of oral argument on the question of whether the individual mandate provision can be severed from the remainder of the act. Finally, the court will hear one hour of oral argument on the question of Medicaid expansion—Issue 1 in Florida v. Department of Health and Human Services: "Does Congress exceed its enumerated powers and violate basic principles of federalism when it coerces States into accepting onerous conditions that it could not impose directly by threatening to withhold all federal funding under the single largest grant-in-aid program…?" All three cases that the court agreed to hear arose out of the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which ruled in August that the individual mandate is unconstitutional but severable [JURIST report], upholding the rest of the law.

Catfish And The Bottlemen debut single 'Homesick' – June 173 May 2013
Llandudno 4 piece Catfish And The Bottlemen will release their debut single 'Homesick' through Communion Records on June 17, 2013. Working with producer and Communion co-founder Ian Grimble (Daughter, British Sea Power, Red Hot Chili Peppers) at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales, 'Homesick' is the first offering from what is proving to be a hugely productive session. The track has already picked up radio plays from Steve Lamacq on 6Music and Zane Lowe on Radio 1, who tipped the single as his 'Next Hype' track.
Catfish And The Bottlemen signed to Communion Records (Ben Howard, Michael Kiwanuka, Deap Valley, Half Moon Run) this Spring, following a furious 18 month period which saw them play over 100 live shows both in the UK and abroad. Having honed their incredibly tight live set- which invariably sees frontman Van McCann climbing the walls and playing guitar as though his life depended on it- playing clubnights for Carl Barat and 6Music's Chris Hawkins & persuading the likes of The Vaccines to attend their gigs, 2013 sees the band embarking on a headline UK tour- including London Barfly on June 3– alongside summer festival appearances at Dot to Dot, The Great Escape and Tramlines.
Catfish And The Bottlemen are Van McCann (vocals & guitar), Billy Bibby (lead guitar), Benji Blakeway (bass) and Bob Hall (drums).

Hi everybody!
Today is my second day in a roll of weighing 202! I haven't been this close to 200 since Tyler was four years old. That was twenty-two years ago!!
Right now, it's 5:30. I'm sitting in my office after a day of trying to rearrange my furniture in my free time.
I don't understand the physics of this but I traded my desk for a smaller desk and now don't have enough room.
I'm sitting in the midst of furniture chaos. Stuff chaos.
And my feet are cold because they are standing on the wet spot left by my full, large Sonic diet strawberry limeade that I just spilled on the carpet.
I didn't go to Curves because I was "too busy". We know about that, don't we.........
And..... Bunco is tonight.
But 202 is motivating me to suck it up, suck it in, and carry on......
I can do this!
Here's the three visuals I'm going to use tonight.....
And my favorite....

At this moment, you have just over 17 hours.

Happy buying!

Listen to your elders -- and avoid the family heraldic history scams
But if you were expecting warm finding-your-roots feelings from your printout, er, scroll, hoping to learn you were descended, say, from a long, dignified line of Bavarian pretzel-bakers or Alsatian goatherds, you'll be disappointed.
At least I was, when my free $7 scroll arrived. Instead of a detailed history, there was a two-sentence summary of basic info any grandparent worth their salt would have passed on to you already, or that you could have found through the quickest of Google searches. (Or, while you were at it, you could have checked out the Statue of Liberty – Ellis Island Foundation's search site. It's free.)
The rest is all boilerplate about the history of, well, why family names have history behind them.
Is this anyone's idea of value? Not mine. So I dug deeper into MyFreeScroll.com and found that it's the brainstorm of Michael Walshe, who's also the voice of the TV commercials with the plummy, though not high-born, British accent. He claims on one of his Web sites to be the creator of the Ginsu knife ("In Japan, the hand is quicker than the blade...but it can't be used on a tomato..."). Walshe also happens to be the director of the Historical Research Center, a franchise business (about £5,000 overseas, or $995 here., says the Center's general manager, Mike Dell).
The Better Business Bureau database lists Historical Research Center branches in Elmhurst, N.Y.; Hemet, Calif.; Louisville, Ky.; Boston; Houston; Lethbridge, Alberta; Las Vegas; Myrtle Beach; and Santa Monica, Calif.
Although I've declined to investigate the new do-it-yourself genealogy disc Walshe is now selling, be aware that the whole family-heraldic-history gig was rife with scam artists centuries before the Web.
Chances are, for instance, your family doesn't have its own coat of arms. Someone with your family name may have once tried to create a coat of arms, but it was personal to them, so claiming it as yours is a sort of ancient identity theft.
Your family probably doesn't have its own kilt pattern, either, unless your name happens to be among the 70 or so original Scottish clans.
So if you're really interested in your family heritage, avoid the many online scams at uncovering your family secrets. Start with your grandparents, or at an established, reliable source such as Ellis Island in New York or Baltimore. Dig in with your hands and eyes, away from the computer, and with pride in your heart.

Zimbabwe's long-serving president on Sunday threatened to expel foreign-owned companies over what he said was the West's interference in the politics of the country he has led since 1980.
President Robert Mugabe said he wanted no "ideas from London or Washington," speaking before supporters at the funeral of a top military chief in Harare. He warned the Western powers that although his government hasn't "done anything to your companies, time will come when we will say tit for tat."
He said: "You hit me, I hit you. We have a country to run and we must be left free to run it."
Britain, the former colonial power, the European Union and the United States have refused to endorse Mugabe's landslide victory in the July 31 elections, citing evidence of vote rigging. The Western countries maintain economic restrictions on Mugabe and leaders of his ruling party.
Mugabe insists his party won "a resounding mandate" in the last election and denies allegations of voting fraud. Zimbabwe's state election panel said Mugabe won the July 31 elections with 61 percent of the presidential vote.
Mugabe, who was sworn in Thursday for another five-year term at the age of 89, said that "there will come a time when we lose our patience" with the West's pressure for democratic reforms.
"I want to assure you our attitude will not continue to be passive," Mugabe said Sunday. "We have had enough and enough is enough."
Since winning another term Mugabe has vowed to push ahead with a black empowerment program to force foreign and white-owned businesses to cede 51 percent ownership to black Zimbabweans. Some economists warn that the program will trigger another economic downturn, like that Zimbabwe suffered after Mugabe's government seized white-owned farms in 2000.
Mugabe, on the other hand, says the new economic plan to force black control of companies will create jobs and economic growth that had been hindered by what he called "a tenuous and fraught coalition with uneasy partners" in the opposition led by former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. Tsvangirai had favored attracting Western investment during the five-year coalition forged by regional leaders after the last disputed elections in 2008.
Mugabe says Britain has opposed black empowerment since he forced thousands of white farmers to surrender their land. Critics of the program say it disrupted Zimbabwe's agriculture-based economy, shut down industries and scared away foreign investment in mining and other businesses.

This soup was seriously incredible. Hands down one of the best soups I have ever had!! I made this the other night for dinner and even my kids gobbled not one but two bowls…so wonderful! I just had to put this one on here so that when I am searching for something to make for dinner I will come upon this one and remember how much I adored it and make it again and again!
2-3 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1-½ teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
½ teaspoons Salt
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 cup Diced Onion
¼ cups Diced Green Bell Pepper
¼ cups Red Bell Pepper
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 can Rotel Tomatoes And Green Chilies
32 ounces, fluid Chicken Stock
3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
4 cups Hot Water
2 cans Black Beans, Drained
3 Tablespoons Cornmeal
5 whole Corn Tortillas, Cut Into Uniform Strips Around 2 To 3 Inches
Garnishes: (You HAVE to add these, it would not be the same experience without em)
Sour Cream
Diced Avocado
Juice of fresh lime
Salsa Or Pico De Gallo
Grated Monterey Jack or cheddar Cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix cumin, chili pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on chicken breasts, then sprinkle a small amount of spice mix on both sides. Set aside the rest of the spice mix.
Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is done. Use two forks to shred chicken. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pot over medium high heat. Add onions, red pepper, green pepper, and minced garlic. Stir and begin cooking, then add the rest of the spice mix. Stir to combine, then add shredded chicken and stir.
Pour in Rotel, chicken stock, tomato paste, water, and black beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 45 minutes, uncovered.
Mix cornmeal with a small amount of water. Pour into the soup, then simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Check seasonings, adding more if needed—add more chili powder if it needs more spice, and be sure not to undersalt. Turn off heat and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Five minutes before serving, gently stir in tortilla strips.
Ladle into bowls, then top with all the yummy garnishes!

SG Lewis on catharsis & his triptych 'Dusk/Dark/Dawn'
It was 18 months ago that Sam Lewis AKA SG LEWIS embarked on one hell of an ambitious project. Rather than sticking to unwritten tradition and releasing a full-length record, the English artist instead opted to split the process up and put out a triptych, representing the three different phases of a night out. And so the concept for Dusk, Dark and Dawn was born.
It was a chance for him to have structure while entering this new phase of his creative direction, and to not put too much pressure on himself too. All parts were created one after the other, with Dawn only being completed in recent weeks.
Dusk is your pre-drinks soundtrack. 'Sunsets' Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 evoke warm colours and sensations, the sweeping soundscapes pushing to create a balance between beauty in Pt. 1 and emotion in Pt. 2. 'Aura', with the help of J Warner on the vocals, pairs beautifully sombre keys with happy house, combining for a rich, soulful house number. 'Golden' and 'Coming Up' provide the perfect amount of funk to keep the mood going, and 'Tides' with Kartell rounds out this first part of the record with a beautiful sense of wholeness.
As you leave the comfort of your pres spot of choice and make your way to the party, that's when Dark is most appropriate. Opener 'Again' serves up peak-dancefloor club vibes, with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs on the feature. Drew Love comes in to spit bars over 'A.A.T', a drawling trap anthem you'd lose your mind to in the club. Track three sees a split feature with SG & Dot Major, serving a slow-burning emotive house trip through huge reverb and careful sequencing. AlunaGeorge brings heady anthemic sounds to 'Hurting', whilst the closer, 'Dreaming' with Bruno Major closes out the dancefloor's final moments.
Dawn is still to come, but we've been given a few tastes of what's on the cards already. 'Blue' is all SG. It features himself on the vocals, production and the mix down, giving us a rare taste of his previous musical identities that saw him explore more acoustic tendencies. 'Throwaway' with Clairo shows the perfect intersection of both artists' sounds, Clairo blasting beautifully emotive lyricism through her captivating voice, whilst SG crafts a delicate field of arpeggiated melodies around her. And finally, 'Flames' with wunderkind Ruel brings forth moments of heightened elation and punchy melodies for the perfect track to empty your lungs to at 4am.
PS editor Caitlin Medcalf and photographer James Simpson caught up with SG Lewis while he was in town last week to take some snaps, chat the three-part project, talk about the live show and dissect what we can expect to take from Dawn.
Your record is broken down into three stages, each representing a different phase of a night out. What does a night out look like for you?
Where the idea came from is that yeah, there is a bit of a ritual in terms of like getting together with friends and playing music together, whether it's in someone's apartment. A lot of my friends DJ as well so the kind of fascination with the three different parts of a night out kind of came from, what is the music that gets played in that situation, in the middle of the night and maybe at the end of the night?
The ritual tends to be pre-drinks, and that always ends up being better than the night out [laughs]. Honestly, my favourite bit of any night out is the next day, the de-brief when you get together, sit in a pub and find out what went down. I feel like maybe it's worth even not going out and just doing pre-drinks and the de-brief.
You've got to have that in the middle.
I guess you have to, but it's never the best time.
You were living in Liverpool for a bit. How did your time living & DJing there influence the way you produce?
Liverpool is such a cultural hotpot, there's so many different kinds of music going on there. When I moved there, it was my first experience of real, proper club culture, you know house and techno. There were proper nights. The first ever night I went to, Ben Klock was playing downstairs and Andy C was playing upstairs, which is like I don't know how many nights you'll find where there's drum and bass upstairs and the lord of techno downstairs. Eclectic would be the word, and I think that definitely had an influence on my inspirations and the way I make music.
Did you make music before you started going out?
I've always made music. I was way more into singer/songwriters and guitar. I always tried to create music, but I wasn't very good at it I guess. I actually got into remixing and producing before I started going out, it was kind of third-hand through the internet. It was when dubstep was becoming a thing. I would make these terrible dubstep remixes, bootleg remixes. I wasn't going to dubstep nights, I was too young, I was like 15. Only once I'd started going out, I guess it kind of started to inform me a bit more of electronic music and what was going on at the time, and also the purpose of that music. Before, I was listening it on the internet, but seeing those records in clubs and seeing how different DJ's played changed the way that I interpreted music.
It's cool to see your evolution as an artist. Obviously collaboration is a really big part of your artistic identity and it's cool to see how over time you've collaborated with artists that you see something in.
Absolutely. Really, it just comes down to being a fan of people. Like you said, collaboration is a really big part of what I do and is something that I really enjoy doing. I get to be a fan of these people, but at the same time, identify what I think I can add to that project or take a part of what they do and add what I do in a different area and create something new that didn't exist before. That's really the most rewarding and fun bit about what I do I think.
I wanted to go back to the record for a second – how do you feel breaking down the record into three parts has informed your process?
The way that it's been released in stages, firstly, it kind of came from wanting to separate the project into three different parts so people could digest it, but the other reason was, when I announced the project, I had one track. It's really taught me just to commit to creative decisions. I'm a massive overthinker and I think that if they were all being released together, it could be another five years before I released this, but it's been great to be present in the creative process and feel like the listeners are following the journey as I'm creating it. It's not old music, it's happening as it happens. I think that when it comes to the next project, whether it's a full length album – which I think it will be – it won't be as spontaneous.
Have you found that the reception of the parts as you've put them out has helped to inform the next stage of the process?
Definitely. I'm always creating from a personal standpoint. It's like, If I don't like it, it's not going to happen or get made. It is interesting to see a) what other things that I've enjoyed doing and b) what other things that people have enjoyed me doing. To be honest, a lot of the time those things line up. It's not like I'm going "Damn those people, they didn't really like that track and that was my favourite." I have found the two things have aligned which has been great. I think I'm carrying a lot of that into the next phase.
What is it that you've enjoyed most about this process?
I've enjoyed some situations where I've pushed myself to sing more, just because creatively, that's been something that was less of a comfort zone for me. A track like 'Blue', getting to produce and sing on it, and mix it and be involved in every stage of the process rather than handing it over. I'm proud of tracks like 'Aura'. I enjoyed making that slightly more dancefloor focused, soulful house music. That was fun. The next era, I'd like to make some more stuff like that.
I was talking with my housemate this morning about this next generation of artists coming up like Billie Eilish, where genre isn't really a thing. I think you're one of those artists that best represents that. Every track of yours delves into different genres. How do you find that balance?
Honestly, when I stop and think about it, I get worried. Because I'm like "Oh shit, wait, is this confusing for people?" I get asked all the time what kind of music I make, and because the answer is quite complicated, I can't just be like "Oh, I make rock music", because I do tend to draw on a lot of different influences. I guess it's a positive thing at the same time. It only makes it hard to answer the question, but I've only ever done things that have felt natural, and like I said, as a fan of music, I'll hear something and be like "Oh, I could use a bit of that in my own music." It's never overthought, but it's not like "Oh, cool, it'd be great if I did a track in this style." If I like something, I'll want to try and put that into my music and put my spin on it.
I think that's where a lot of producers get stuck too.
Definitely, people are like oh, 115 is my tempo. You can love a tempo, but you're limiting yourself. I think there's innovation in taking parts of a style and combining it with other parts. Sure, you might not be a drum and bass artist, but you can make a tune with 180BPM drums and they don't have to be heavy drum and bass drums, but you can take that groove and put jazz chords over it and come up with something kind of cool. I think that's where innovation comes from, combining things that are completely different.
It's good to be uncomfortable.
Massively. The singing part, I agree with that. Pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. If you just made things you were comfortable with, or you just didn't experiment, you'll just stay in the same place. People would get bored, and you would get bored.
A big aspect of your records is the live show. With so many collaborators, has it been tough putting together a live show?
It varies from song to song and how distinctive an artists stamp on a record is. I think that songs that lend themselves better to the live show are the songs that work without those features there. It was definitely a task to overcome, but I feel like I'm super proud of the way that we have overcome it, and it's a case of editing those songs to suit the live environment and revamping them to suit the band, because we've played together for quite a long time now and we really know how to make it work for our pocket. It's in the same way that a lot of artists are changing their songs for their live performances, like Clairo for instance, a lot of her stuff is kind of lo-fi, more understated on the record, but then they really make it more of a big sounding thing for the live show. It's basically just playing enough shows and working out how to make those work.
Obviously the record is one to listen through from start to finish. Have you tried to keep that same format for the live show?
Absolutely. The live performance does that pretty strictly, especially with the bigger shows where we've had the budget to reflect that in the visuals. That's been so fun. I've worked with this artist called Tess Bijere from New York and we've created these three almost, movements, in the show. We play a 'Dusk' segment, a 'Dark' segment and a 'Dawn' segment. The fun bit is also that the previous songs that have come before that fans have attached to, we've been able to slot them into that concept, because it is an open concept. You can always end up putting any one of my songs into one of those three categories I think.
Have you wrapped up all of the recording for 'Dawn'?
I have. I've handed it in. It's so weird. There's one song in particular that was really hard to let go of. It's not out yet, but it was very personal to me. I'd done five million versions, and I just kept coming back to the demo basically. Eventually, I just had to hand it in. It was pried out of my fingers [laughs]. I'm super proud of it. It's a huge relief at the same time to have finished it, because it's all I've thought about for the last like 18 months and all of a sudden it's like, woah, a blank slate creatively again. I'm excited for people to hear it.
How would you describe this last phase of this artistry in a sentence or two?
Melancholic. It's a bit of a breakup record to be honest. I went through a breakup in September, and all of the emotions that come with that, as everyone knows. I think that it was actually, in the least psychopathic way possible, was a good mindset to be in going into this more introspective part of the album and getting in touch with those slightly more melancholic emotions I think.
Did you find that having that outlet helped you move on from that?
Yeah, there's some real breakup songs on there. It's cathartic. I think what's crazy with songwriting and the more that I've leant into songwriting rather than just producing, you can say things that you would never ever say out loud. Once you've got them down on paper it's like wow, that's out of my system. It's a really amazing outlet.

Iowa's Dubuque County Jail is replacing its inmate video-conferencing system with a Web-based interface that will improve communications for inmates and county officials.
Communication between inmates and visitors at Iowa's Dubuque County Jail is about to get a whole lot clearer. The facility's aging video-conferencing equipment is being replaced by a modern Web-based system, which will provide higher quality images and the ability for prisoners to use email.
Dubuque County Jail Administrator Capt. Mike Muenster said the video technology currently being used at the jail is 9 years old and like many old TV monitors, the display has darkened, often making it difficult to see the facial features of some inmates. But instead of repairing items in a piecemeal fashion, he felt it made better sense to install a system that provides more advanced tools that could benefit everyone.
In addition to the upgraded picture, investigators and detectives will be able to logon to the system remotely to conduct an interview with an inmate or watch a visit taking place. The software can also record the session and make copies as needed.
Another feature available is for the public to have video chats with inmates from their homes. According to Muenster, while the option will be discussed further once the system is up and running, it likely won't be rolled out.
Although online visitation has the potential to be a source of extra revenue by charging for those extra visits, he explained that the lack of control is a major concern.
"Even though someone may be on an inmate's approved visitor list, we wouldn't have the option of controlling that person on the other end inviting a protected party into their home to visit with the inmate," Muenster said. "So that's the driving force of why I wouldn't allow that to happen."
The use of email is a completely different story. Muenster said that option would be "wide open" for use by inmates and visitors. He was confident that security regarding the email functionality and Web-based sessions wouldn't be an issue, because the technology uses advanced encryption.
A filter will also keep all email conversations fairly vanilla in terms of content.
"It cuts out words and phrases that wouldn't be acceptable in a corrections environment," Muenster said. "Any sort of threat won't be allowed to be sent. There's a big filter that will [only] allow general letters, a 'hi, how are you doing?' sort of thing."
The technology — a solution from Renovo Software — will be installed by Visilinc and carries a price tag of $111,366. Muenster said he just submitted the order and expects the system to be online in about six months.
Taxpayers won't be footing the bill for the upgrade however, as the cost will be covered through a separate inmate revenue account. Muenster explained that the account is made up of funds from sales of items to inmates that can only be used for services that directly benefit them.
Muenster was able to pay a 20 percent down payment on the technology through the fund and received a loan for the balance from the Dubuque County Board of Supervisors that will be paid back to the county at a minimum of $20,000 per year from the inmate fund.
