Its lovely to be cruising again but last week, being off the boat, I got to enjoy the Chelsea Flower show, albeit courtesy of the BBC. However Suffolk isn't short of beautiful gardens to enjoy. I visited The Walled Garden, to see the wisteria walkway.
And of course to buy some plants for our own garden, because not only is it a lovely old garden, it's also a first rate nursery.
Heather loves photographing flowers so I've borrowed a couple of her images.
Clematis are one of her favourites
This says summer to me.
Bet the honey will taste good from these Centaurea
I wonder if cows that eat buttercups make tastier butter?
Even the cereal crops look amazing when the wind is blowing across them.
But of course the yellow flag iris that grow along the canal back get a gold medal every time.

As you will find secondary markets inside the trade of goods or wares, you can find a secondary sector during the trade of artwork. The good variance is art would not depreciate with age, even when matter to wear, and that selling prices within the secondary art sector aren't determined by singular usability but by their common desirability. What we understand by a major plus a secondary current market while in the art trade is crucial for our appreciation on the financial price of a piece of Art market art collector
When an artwork concerns the marketplace for the very first time in a gallery or another art exhibition we talk concerning the principal current market. This is actually the minute in the event the price for that artwork is set up for the initially time. The artist, or maybe the gallery operator / seller along side the artist, establish a offering value according to artwork market indicators for the time of presentation. As with all commodity market place, the mechanism of "supply and demand" defines this pricing framework.
After the artwork is obtained within the major current market and also the consumer, irrespective of whether a private collector, an institution or even a dealer, decides to resell it, it enters the secondary sector. Most goods marketed by way of auction properties kind section of the secondary current market, because the artwork has now been acquired no less than once. Secondary market place trade indicates trade in art that isn't coming specifically from the artist.
As in lots of other trades you can find a fantastic total of speculation within the commerce of art. Some costs requested on the primary industry inevitably increase dubitative issues concerning longevity. Even so, this sort of factors issue small for your key market's dynamism; strongly sustained by marketing artifact, sales method, stylish traits rather than the very least, because of the Vainness Reasonable that may be art gathering.
It truly is obvious the prudent artwork investor greater turns towards the secondary industry where by price is founded and never arbitrary or ethereal. The secondary sector implies that a particular time may have handed concerning the act of creation along with the present proprietary transaction. This really is certainly not accurate in all instances but can be utilized like a practical rule. The bogus buzz that will are already established across the artist for the minute of his introduction into the artwork globe, or through his ascendance in the exact same, or at his height, will normally have waned or stabilized and there's room for just a much more neutral and sober evaluation in the get the job done by itself.
And also with the art collector may be the secondary sector a safer bet. While subject matter to the widespread Zeitgeist, the secondary current market is just not so trendy and will not investigate, on the very same extent, the eventual momentary own celeb of an artist. Not working with all the artist is surely an expedient technique for

Legend has it that Columbia's lawns are always green because of the fees the school charges to any company that wants to film there. Truth or urban legend? You decide!
Gossip Girl: Nate, Serena, and Blair all end up at Columbia, shown via exterior shots. Not sure why any of them thought Columbia was fabulous enough to hold them, but I would be a lot more likely to go to class if a Chace Crawford look-alike were there.
Spiderman: Shots of Columbia feature in all three Tobey Maguire–era Spiderman movies. Unlike the stunningly attractive Nate, Serena, and Blair, Peter Parker would blend in perfectly with the Columbia student body. He'd be that guy you stared at in lecture, wondering if he was actually cute or just a little weird-looking.
Mistress America: This film about a Barnard student and starring Greta Gerwig (BC '06) features scenes in the Quad, the Diana, and Hewitt dining hall, among other Barnard locations. While it briefly touches on the Barnumbia relationship, it doesn't seem to understand it any more than we do.
How I Met Your Mother: For three seasons, Ted is an architecture professor at Columbia. Like most films and shows on this list, the exterior shots are genuine Columbia, but the interior shots are not. The fictional students are actually fairly Columbia-esque, abandoning his class to protest.
Ghostbusters (1984): The famous trio of Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler are originally Columbia professors before they get fired and pursue their true calling. While no Columbia buildings are mentioned by name, "Weaver Hall" is actually Havemeyer wearing a really lazy disguise. (They just changed a plaque.)
Ghostbusters (2016): In a nod to the original, Erin Gilbert is also a disgraced Columbia professor, and there are some exterior shots of Columbia. As soon as they show an interior shot of "Columbia," the illusion is broken—her office is way too clean.
Kill Your Darlings: A story about one of Columbia's most famous and least-acknowledged alumni, Allen Ginsberg, Kill Your Darlings has exterior shots of Columbia galore. The palatial interiors, which are intended to be Columbia circa the 1940s are a far cry from John Jay as it currently stands. And a scene in which Ginsberg and others replace rare books on display in the library with pornographic ones could never actually happen at Columbia today—students studying in Butler would shush them for being too boisterous.
Simon (1980): This little-known movie stars Alan Arkin (of Argo and Little Miss Sunshine) as Simon, a Columbia professor who is brainwashed by the Institute for Advanced Concepts into thinking he's an alien being who has to improve the world. The movie's best scene takes place in 309 Havemeyer. Simon is in the midst of an inspiring lecture on the necessity of creative thinking when one of the few students raises her hand and asks, "Is this going to be on the final?" Same girl, same.

Shortly after, my mom became acquaintances with my father, a controlling man who had no religious beliefs or morals.
I believe she was desperate for someone to take care of her and her children, and my dad took advantage of her vulnerability, weaseling his way into her life.
I remember sitting on a swing next to a "worldly" classmate and suddenly realizing that I was becoming friends with this girl.
Immediately, I explained to her that I was not allowed to be friends with her.
Even if he was convicted to leave his religion and marry her, the loss of family and the cult teachings could remain in him a long time. Love has power to conquer, yes, but you need to give it serious thought how willing you are to endure and stay the full course with him.
It was really obvious considering the movements, the expression, the look on his face that he was anxious… During the whole relationship he felt like a fugitive!
He kept turning his head around and watching the crowd, trying to figure out whether there was anyone familiar around, he was totally distracted and kept scratching his neck.
Not long after, she was pregnant and disfellowshipped.
My mom was 7 months pregnant with me when they were married.

Emotional Short-Arming: Protecting A Psychological Injury
My massage therapist commented that I twist my right arm whenever she moves it. She questioned the origin of this tendency. During the height of my swim conditioning, I short-armed my right free style stroke. My coach instructed me to pull my arm through completely before exiting the water. This adjustment improved my speed and efficiency. For a few workouts I decelerated and concentrated on pulling through. However, I found it tedious, and it slowed me down tremendously. Additionally, as I fatigued I returned to short-arming. I shared this story with my massage therapist, and she commented, "Maybe you're protecting something." She asked if I had a past injury. Prior to swimming, I spent several years rock climbing and pushing my body in ways you can in your late 20's and early 30's. I likely sustained an injury.
My response to this physical injury mimics a psychological injury. Often times we compensate to avoid pain and keep moving forward. However, this coping style eventually short changes us when we can no longer progress with ease and efficiency. We are frequently unaware of this protective mechanism until we enter relationships, and others identify it. Once this compensatory strategy enters our awareness slowing down and addressing it proves challenging. We feel pulled into our old habit particularly during times of stress and fatigue. However, if we slow down and address the injury, we start moving with greater fluidity and ease.
Admittedly, when I dive into the pool, I'm tempted to bullet through the water like a torpedo. Then, I hear my healthy self, "you're short-arming . . . pull through the entire stroke . . . don't get in a hurry." I may resemble Esther Williams. However, my right arm propels me further if I can resist exiting at the point of discomfort.
Where in your life are you emotional short-arming? How can you leave your arm in the water a bit longer when it feels uncomfortable?
Avoiding Painful Emotions: Garnet Will Make You Popular
After years of driving past The Cave of Wonders, curiosity pulled me in. I stepped inside and magnificent gems encircled me. A sweet caramel and white pitbull named Bella shadowed me as I perused the stones. I showed Bella a black, shiny piece of tourmaline and explained its energy-absorbing properties. She sniffed and licked my hand, confirming my selection. I picked up a piece of smooth, rose quartz and felt its coolness and weight in my hand. The bin's placard announced that it decreased stress and brought love into one's life. Sign me up for that! I added it to my growing collection and continued browsing. Bella grew bored of examining my treasures and parked herself in the front entrance to greet unsuspecting humans.
When my stone collection overflowed the reaches of my palm, I decided to check out. I had gems to help me grieve, avoid negative energy and stress, and bring love and prosperity into my life. Yep, I was covered in the happy life department now. The shop owner handed me a complimentary marble-sized garnet – the stone of the week. He gave me a handout describing its properties and meanings. Garnet brings successful business, cures depression, makes a person popular, adds constancy to friendships, increases security level, cleanses and purifies and increases sex drive. I hit the jackpot! Now I could start a successful business, be happy, popular, confident, clear negative energy and be a sex goddess!
While the garnet claims appeared exaggerated, I think we all hope at times that one special thing or person can provide fulfillment, safety, and happiness. We all have experiences in which we wish a garnet could cure all our troubles. Simple fixes are attractive but no replacement to feeling our way through life. I keep the garnet in my purse to remind me of this fact. If life hands me a lesson, and I choose not to accept the challenge, it comes around again. The times I find myself wishing for a "garnet fix" are typically the times I want to avoid painful emotions.
Where in your life do you find yourself wishing for the garnet fix? What do you need to feel your way through?
You Won't Die in the Yoga Room
I made the mistake. I had the fortunate opportunity to practice Bikram yoga on a 90% humidity day in sunny southern California. For ten years I effectively tolerated the 105 degree, 60% humidity environment of this yoga. However, this day I entered the studio, unrolled my mat, and instantly transformed into a human water fountain. Sweat gushed from every pore in my body despite the fact I laid silently in savasana (i.e., corpse pose)! The teacher entered the room and announced, "Rise and shine it's yoga time! I know it's a hot day, but you're not going to die in the yoga room." I stood up and thought, "I'm f*&#ed!" My body boiled. Probably, because I was standing DIRECTLY under the red glow of a radiant heater. Given room was packed with sweaty yoga bodies, I could not escape the heater's radius. During the second breath of pranayama, my mind raced, "It's too hot . . .I'm dizzy . . . I have to pee. . . I want to run out of this room . . . what if I run out? . . .I've never run out. . .what's wrong with me? . . . everyone else looks ok . . .this absolutely sucks . . . I should have slept in . . . I will be dehydrated . . .my stomach is on fire . . .why did I eat garlicky hummus before class? . . . breathe . . . breathe . . .breathe." I eventually calmed my mind. However, my body fought to stand. My stomach knotted and the room spun. I surrendered to my mat until the world stilled. Then, with a big deep breath, I stood up and tried again.
By virtue of our human-beingness, we experience moments of intense emotional pain. We question whether we can tolerate another excruciating second and feel pulled to flee the room. We numb . . . with reality TV (goodness knows I've watched way too much Teen Mom), busyness, material objects, and substances. We do everything in our power to escape that radiant heater, because it's tremendously uncomfortable. We gain momentary lapses of relief only for the heat to blast us squarely in the face. If we surrender and breathe, the perspiration pours from our bodies. The toxins leave, we cool, and oxygen replenishes us. We stand up and try again. When the intensity of the heat overwhelms you, lie down, breathe, and recover. Then, get up and try again. If you run, pain will follow you right out of the door.
If emotional heat has left you face down on the floor, I recommend reading Brene Brown's Rising Strong. This wonderful manuscript reminds us that signing up to live whole-heartedly involves falling, and she gives us a formula for rising up.
The Dyson Airblade . . . It's Not Just For Drying Hands: Travel Adventures with Amelia
I have traveled alone – a lot. Given I am the youngest of the family, and the only one who lives on the west coast, I go to them. Given my recovering perfectionist status, I still exhibit "type A" travel traits. Yes, I have a packing checklist. I store it on my computer and ceremonially print it out prior to each departure. I commence packing two days before my trip, and I use packing cubes. If you do not have packing cubes, I highly, highly recommend them. eBags pays me nothing for this endorsement. Packing cubes allow one to rifle through one's suitcase at lightning speed to procure a swimsuit or clean pair of underwear. I also bring a water bottle and quickly fill it once I pass security. I continue to marvel at folks who gawk at it and remark "Wow, how do you get THAT through security?"
Speaking of security, it is a rare event that I make it through without a TSA agent touching me in a way that warrants fine wine, a five star dinner and some smokin' hot chemistry. I remember leaving Vegas in my new, designer jeans. You know, the ones with the awesome metal designs on the pockets which make any woman's pancake butt look voluptuous. Note — never wear these jeans through security, ever. Evidently my derriere posed a threat to national security and required a physical pat down. The female TSA agent kindly asked if I wanted to do it in private. Given the early hour of my flight, I needed my double soy, latte stat. Hence, I opted for getting felt up in front of the entire procession of passengers. Interestingly, I have supposedly posed a threat to airport security by . . . wearing a large watch, pony tail, nothing (just kidding), and dangly earrings. I strive to practice thoughtfulness when I go through security. I remove any object which will activate the metal detector. I willingly choose the back scatter machine even though the picture is leaving little to the screener's imagination. I limit my baggie of liquids to the quart size bag. Honesty, I 've witnessed many a passenger coming through with two gallon freezer bags. One woman brought in a full bottle of Kai body spray. Honestly, I was jealous. Have you smelled that stuff? It is amazing.
I am known to take VERY early morning flights in order to arrive on the east coast at a reasonable hour. (Do I love my family or what?) Hence, my first order of business is to find a large cup of java. Then, I find intellectually stimulating reading material. Ok, I am going to be f'ing honest with you folks. I bring The Week and use it to disguise People. Don't judge. I know many of you have done the same thing . . . Did you know the stars are just like us? They go to Starbucks and pump their own gas. Who knew? Cross country flights give me plenty of time to read, watch movies . . . I experienced a minor myocardial infarction when the wifi signal disappeared in the middle of Gravity. That movie was intense.
My flight to my sister's place was relatively uneventful, and I exited the aircraft only to feel water dripping down the back of my legs. In my hurry to deplane, I overlooked securely fastening my water bottle. The bottom of my backpack was soaked. I ran to the bathroom and urgently blotted it with paper towels. It was like trying to soak up Lake Michigan with a cellulose sponge . . .no bueno. I panicked. Not only did I have a wet back pack. I had a wet bottom. Desperate times called for desperate measures . . .thank God the bathroom had a Dyson airblade. It's not just for drying hands anymore. I will leave the rest to your imagination and assure you I left that bathroom dry . . . Using an object for a purpose other than it's original function is the definition of creativity ya'll.
I spent several days visiting my sweet sister and Dad while attending a conference. Then, I returned to the airport where I am happy report I made it through security without a patting or wanding. My first plane left on time and so did my second! However, after one hour on the tarmac we taxied back to the gate due to a mechanical problem. Ugh. This event presented me with quite a dilemma. I bought a box of gourmet chocolates for a friend who offered to pick me up at the airport. Given the delay, the decent option was to graciously thank her and say, "I brought you these chocolates." However, I needed self-soothing after several hours in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport with VERY limited vegetarian food options, no dessert and travel stress. I ate the dark chocolate, and I must admit it made me feel immensely better, so did the salted caramel, hazelnut ganache and pinot noir truffle. . . Currently, I am one hour away from home in a full-blown sugar coma. I look forward to landing . . .to tail wags and licks from my splendidly imperfect dog and crawling into my splendidly perfect bed. Good night.
Assist Pin: Coping With Painful Emotions
I love the chin up/dip machine in the gym. It is one of the most efficient ways to work several major muscle groups at once. Given I detest weight lifting, but I know it builds strong and healthy bones, yada, yada, yada, I celebrate a machine that shortens my agony. I also love that it contains the "weight assist" stack. I simply determine the pounds I want to subtract from my actual weight and insert the lovely "assist" pin. On particularly challenging days, I place the pin near my exact weight and pull myself up with one hand! I feel like Demi Moore in GI Jane except I don't have a shaved head or her ripped biceps. Gymgoers standing at least 20 feet away might possibly mistake me for Svetlana Feofanova — a fellow famous red-haired athlete! I do try to challenge myself and move the pin up and pull up more and more of my weight. I recognize muscle building involves pain but some days I need a break from it.
When it comes to painful emotions, perfectionists find the assist pin particularly attractive. Perfectionist assist pins come in all shapes and sizes . . . working long hours, racking up achievements, filling every available moment with something productive, rigid exercise routines, and cleaning. Some assist pin activities can be helpful like distracting oneself from painful emotions by calling a friend, going for a run, or doing something kind for others. Others can prove particularly damaging like numbing out with alcohol, food or excessive sedentariness.
One should not use the aforementioned coping strategies to continuously to avoid painful emotions. Tal- Ben Shahar (2009) highlights that painful emotions need to move freely down the "emotional pipe line" in order to maintain good emotional-wellbeing. When we continuously suppress, ignore, and distract ourselves from painful emotions a clog builds and these emotions remain trapped inside contributing to depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. If we use the "assist pin" over and over again it will eventually wear down, break and send us crashing under our true weight. Hence, we need to challenge ourselves to pull it out and feel, ache, grieve and hurt and know we are human and splendidly, imperfectly built.
At times, we need to put the pin in. Shortly after I separated from my ex-husband the grief permeated my being to the depths that my heart physically ached. I had no idea that a human being could shed such colossal volumes of tears. I recognized that I could not grieve 24/7 and maintain some semblance of sanity. I needed breaks. I needed the assist pin. My "assist" pin included things like a living room early 90's dance party with my sister, watching really horrible reality TV (so bad I cannot succumb to telling you even though I use a pen name), painting my toe nails radical colors, listening to Nine Inch Nails VERY, VERY loud in my car and yelling "Head like a hole, black's got your soul, I'd rather die than give you control!," hot baths, watching videos of cute baby animals on youtube and then . . . I. Pulled. The. Pin. Out. . . so I could work through the pain, build strength and prevent the pin from wearing out. It's an imperfect process. Sometimes I leave the pin in too long. Other times, I suffer too long under the gravity of my own weight and could benefit from giving myself a break. My wish for all of us is that we can grow in our discernment of when to put the pin in and pull it out.

One tenth of the world's population does not have access to clean water and every 20 seconds a child dies as a result of poor sanitation. Riders for Health is mobilising health workers like Desterio Mutinye to ensure safe, clean water is available in the most remote communities.
Desterio is a water and sanitation manager. He educates people about the importance of clean water and of maintaining and repairing water sources. Since receiving his motorcycle, Desterio can now see 10 times the number of people and visit four times more villages each week. He says: 'It was really hard before, we used to walk or use old bicycles. I would reach the community late and tired and could not do my work well. Now I can do my work as planned.'
'I have had three serious cases of typhoid in Shanderema village and I know that if I did not have my motorcycle it would have been very tragic for the villagers.' Desterio Mutinye

+ Learning to produce music at home? Check out Soundfly's mentored online course on making beats in Ableton Live right here! Or, share your musical goals with us, and a Soundfly Mentor will help you achieve them!
If you walk down the street of any major city and open your ears to the cars driving by, there's a good chance that the music roaring out of the windows will feature an immediately recognizable formula: rattling, synthetic hi-hats, speaker-cone-devastating sub-bass, and 808 kick samples all rolling on top of one another in tight rhythmic uniform. Upon closer listen, orchestrally swelling MIDI strings and catchy diatonic piano melodies frequently follow suit, also.
That is the sound of what people basically refer to as trap music.
For the purposes of this article, we're actually only covering "trap rap" and not the remix-centric phenomenon of EDM that is also known as trap, although that genre also features tons of aesthetic similarities. But whether you're listening to lyrical heroes like Kendrick Lamar or polarizing newcomers like Lil Yachty, hip-hop is fixated on trap. And it's been like this for a minute now.
The genre was popularized in the American South in the '90s having allegedly originated in Atlanta, Georgia's explosive rap scene, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I know I'm not alone every time I think, "How is this still going on?" so let's unpack this question.
At this point, the formula has become almost comically predictable: Open with an ambient intro that encompasses the song's main theme, build the groove with some vocal booth ad-libs and producer drops, then open up the beat track. Now, throw in a handful of "uuhhs!"s and "whats!" and dive into your first verse. Producers seem perfectly content to allow this sound to proliferate as is — but what's keeping this repetitive formula from getting old?
Well, firstly, it just works. I guess the old saying holds true: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Dark or light subject matter, eery or uplifting key signatures, it's all a party. But there's more to it than just that. Here's my take.
Hold up! Are you stuck producing beats that sound like everyone else's? Let Ableton Certified Trainer Dan Freeman and a team of personal mentors teach you how to produce more creative electronic drum beats in our month-long online course Beat Making in Ableton Live.

It's a platform for the hook, and everything else is secondary.
By now, you've probably heard of the term "mumble rapper." Artists like Young Thug, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert are among those thrown into this category. Essentially, the term refers to artists who, rather than rapping clearly with little or no vocals effects — like Notorious B.I.G. or Tupac Shakur, for example — will opt to use effects like Auto-Tune, digital reverb, and delay, and shout unintelligible lyrics.
But it doesn't really matter because the beat leaves so much space open for vocals to fill in, it's basically designed to be a pedestal for the hook to shine. Who needs lyrics, anyway?
If you're not the most naturally gifted emcee, trap music gives you a platform to rap regardless. Because effects like Auto-Tune and reverb enhance the sonic capabilities of most voices, with a decent hook and a bit of DAW production wherewithal, the rest will fall into place.
Newcomers are welcome.
Tons of people criticize rappers who lean heavily on this formula, such as Migos. Yet, it's hard to ignore the formula's ability to produce hit songs like "Bad & Boujee," "XO TOUR Llif3," and "Mask Off" — even if it is just an elongated trend.
Would someone like Lil Yachty have been able to make a name for himself during the era of Nas and Mobb Deep? That's debatable, but probably not.
But does the accessibility of the trap beat, with its veritable low level of entry tech-wise, allow newcomers to enter the scene and offer their own creative spin on the genre more easily, even without displaying traditional rap talents? Definitely.
Lyrical artists benefit from it, too.
Trap isn't all mumble. Critically acclaimed lyricists (and poets) like Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole have both dabbled in production making use of trap beats. Songs like Lamar's "DNA." and Cole's "Neighbors" both showcase lyrical dexterity alongside those rattling hi-hats and that sub-heavy synth bass.
It opens these artists up to more Southern listeners, and it makes their songs easier to incorporate next to other mainstream hip-hop jams on the radio right now. Not that Kendrick Lamar needs help getting on the radio, specifically, but producing, and really, mixing to a reference aesthetic in general helps your sound fit into more radio playlists. The trap beat was built for the club, but that doesn't mean it can't sit next to poetry!

Unfortunately, it's often the case that rappers who write introspective, dense, and lyrically complex music don't achieve the same level of mainstream success as simpler rappers like Drake or Big Sean. But with the use of a trap beat, there's a greater appeal to fans from across the hip-hop spectrum.
The trap frame makes it sound relevant and catchy, even if the hook isn't about sex or turning up.
Bright or dark, minor or major, it's a party.
Trap is buoyed by upbeat electronic percussion — so, whether you're working with dark, pensive minor chords or uplifting, joyous major sounds, it's going to be a party. For example, Future's "F*ck Up Some Commas" is built around a cinematic, minor piano melody with eerie strings and ominous sound effects. The overall mood and tone is brooding and downright spooky. But with a booming trap beat in the center of it all, and Future's braggadocios rapping and flow, it feels like a party.
On the other hand, Post Malone's breakout hit, "White Iverson," features bright, cathedral chords and sunny strings. But it's just as much of a party track as "F*ck Up Some Commas." If anything, it's less of a turn-up anthem. Trap has terrific mainstream appeal because there's always this underlying element of fun, a beat to dance to, and a rhythm for letting loose. You can play it in your car en route to the club, and listen to the same song inside!

Trap lends itself to other genres.
Hip-hop is the most popular genre of music utilizing trap at this moment, but it's not new, and electronic producers such as Flosstradamus, Diplo, TNGHT, and RL Grime have been capitalizing on its crossover with EDM for years. It shows up in pop tunes from the likes of Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Lana Del Rey. And of course, you could whip up a trap remix of pretty much anything and make it sound dope.
Conclusion: Yup, trap is here to stay.
Whether you're a fan of socially conscious hip-hop, club bangers, EDM, or Top 40 pop, chances are you're going to be hearing a lot of trap beats. The simplistic, dynamic formula leaves room for an eclectic range of expression to flourish. And like anything good in music, certain people are going to abuse it, sure — but those who do it right, with taste and creativity, will find a way to keep the trap formula unique and refreshing while paying homage to its Southern roots.
In other words:
Whether you're keen to learn how to sample found sounds in your beats, introduce more complex theories and harmony into your productions, or enhance the punch and expression of your beat production in Ableton Live, Soundfly's growing selection of PRODUCE courses has you covered!

Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has revealed the club have turned down a £250,000 bid for striker Ricky Miller, before he's even played for the club!
MacAnthony made the revelation in an interview with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. Posh only completed the signing of Miller on a three-year contract from Dover last week.
"It would have been the easiest profit I've ever made," MacAnthony said.
MacAnthony claimed a League One club made the offer for a 28 year-old who scored 42 goals last season. Charlton were vying with Posh to sign Miller.

Is there a list of problematic hardware
From Soekris Info Wiki
Is there a list of problematic hardware?
Maybe some day. Some devices are known to have "issues". Search the archives to begin with if you're planning to install some device you're not sure about (scanning the archives for any piece of hardware before purchasing it, would probably always be a good advice here).

In one of the Chinese online stores I found a very interesting lot — smartphone Xiaomi Mi 5c. And it is interesting that this unit has not yet been officially submitted. Perhaps this fact prompted the seller to install made a wild price tag — for the same amount you can buy three seventh "IPhone".
Smartphone Xiaomi Mi 5c valued at $ 1,500, although early rumors pointed to cost around $ 150. By the way, online store this is another JD. It's probably just a typo, but it is likely installed prices in the hope that someone will buy yet exclusive machine. In other words, the problem lies not in the smartphone, as Xiaomi is not presumptuous Huawei, and it does not require for their cell phones for $ 1500, that is the price of Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design.
Original Xiaomi Mi 5c will be released in the next few weeks and will cost about $ 150, instead of offering 3 gigabytes of RAM, Android OS 6 with the shell MIUI 8, the main camera is 16 megapixels and touch screen of 5.5 inches diagonally with a resolution of Full HD or 1920×1080 pixels. The price of the candy bar will also include 32 or 64 GB of ROM and a front camera of 8 megapixels.

Abstract :
3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT), the main antiviral drug used in AIDS treatment, is known to induce anemia and neutropenia. These effects have been attributed to its toxicity to hematopoietic progenitors. In this report, we present a new approach to reduce AZT hematotoxicity by using an inhibitory factor of the hematopoietic stem cells, the tetrapeptide AcSerAspLvsPro (AcSDKP, Seraspenide), which has been shown to increase the survival of mice subjected to high doses of chemotherapy and to block reversibly the cycling of human granulocyte-macrophage colony forming unit (CFU-GM) and burst forming unit erythroid (BFU-E) progenitors.

text: e huk If there is one thing that Leetal and Ron Arazi of NY Shuk know, it is harissa. The pair moved to New York from Israel, and they noticed that in this hub of Jewish culture Ashkenazi cuisine was well represented, but there was a disparity when it came to the availability of Sephardic ingredients—and an even big- ger disparity when it came to high-quality ingredients. Soon after, NY Shuk was born. Created to be a sort of pantry, Leetal and Ron started off with their Signature Harissa and have since progressed to include a whole range of both harissa paste and dry harissa spices, in gorgeous varieties like preserved lemon and rose. The pair also teach classes on everything from Middle Eastern street food to the art of couscous making at their Brooklyn kitchen. We were excited to have Leetal give us a les- son on harissa and its versatility.

Students upset as World Cup coincides with exams
Lahore, Feb 22: Students who love cricket are keen to watch their favourite cricket teams in action in the cricket World Cup 2011 despite their annual examinations. Students had shown their frustration over the fact that no matches were being held in Pakistan.
Usually, annual examinations are held in March every year in Pakistan. Thousands of matriculation students are upset because of the overlap of their exam date sheet and cricket World Cup schedule.
A conflict between parents and children is on the rise over whether to watch the World Cup matches or to prepare for exams.
A student of grade 10, Hamza, said, "My parents have declared that there will be no matches for me. They are getting ready to pack up the TV." He added that he had requested his parents if he could just get the updates of the ongoing matches, but his parents even rejected that. "To make matters worse, my parents are on the lookout and have forbidden me to use my cell phone, so that I don't receive updates of matches," he added.
Hamza said that he really wanted cricket matches to be held in Pakistan. "I really wished to see the matches live in the stadium but unfortunately the International Cricket Council (ICC) did not allow matches in Pakistan due to security reasons," he added.
But not everyone is giving up without a fight. Mudassir, a class 11 student, has his battle plan ready. "Me and my parents have worked out a plan. They have agreed to allow me to watch the last overs of Pakistan's matches." He added that he had already told his parents that all study and no leisure will not be good for him. "Watching TV, especially cricket, will ease the exam tension," he said.
He further added that he wishes luck to the Pakistan cricket team. He said, "I wish that Pakistan would win this World Cup the same way it won the T20 World Cup in 2008."
Another cricket lover and student of class 10, Rida, said, "As most of the matches would be day-night matches, I have changed my study schedule to give more time during the day for the preparations of my exams. I have also planned to view the exciting parts of the matches, especially the slog overs and power plays if not the complete match."
She complained about the deteriorating law and order situation of the country, which took away from Pakistan the opportunity to co-host the World Cup. Rida hoped that international cricket matches would restart in Pakistan.
One can almost hear their collective complain, especially as parents and teachers are known to put a lot of stress on academics. The parents and teachers, meanwhile, are in no mood to relent.
A secondary school teacher, Hassaan said, "In no way can the students afford to take exams lightly because it could alter the course of their future. Parents would guide their children in a proper manner during this period." He said that parents had to stop their children from watching matches but should at least allow them to get match updates.
The much-awaited cricketing extravaganza started on Saturday and it would continue until April. Being hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, cricket fans are in for a treat spread for 49 days. Daily timesYour Comments
GCUF scam brings former head in the dock
Faisalabad: A former acting vice-chancellor of the Government College University Faisalabad (GCUF) is in the dock after an inquiry team has declared him guilty of awarding construction contract to a 'dubious' company.
It was learnt on authority that Dr Shahid Mehboob Rana had awarded a contract of Rs146 million for the construction of the GCUF Social Sciences block to a fake company in December 2007. Dr Mehboob's tenure ended on Oct 24, 2010.
Amid complaints about wrongdoing by the previous varsity administration the syndicate allowed the present setup to conduct a special audit of the academia affairs and the report has declared the former vice chancellor guilty of corruption.
The contract - one of the three major projects of the university â" was awarded to the Campaigner Associates in December 2007 despite the fact that the company was not registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).
The PEC rules say: "No engineering work can be constructed except by a constructor or operated except by an operator licensed as such by PEC."
It further says "construction of an engineering work includes surveys, sub-soil and other investigations, erection, installation, testing and commissioning and execution of any other activities required to achieve the desired final shape of an engineering work, and also includes extension, remodeling, rebuilding and repair works."
The then university administration ignored the rules by facilitating the company and caused a loss of more than Rs4 million to the national exchequer by evading sales and income tax on supplies of services and purchases for execution of civil works. The administration did not deduct amount of sales and income tax from the firm.
Documents available with Dawn show that the university had issued tenders to get the new social sciences block constructed and a few companies applied for the project which was awarded to the Campaigner Associates, a non-registered company.
Projects and Campus Development Director Muhammad Latif, a retired lieutenant colonel, had issued letter of acceptance after the approval by Dr Mehboob on Dec 3, 2007. The company had also been informed that "the time of completion was the essence of the contract and the entire work shall be completed within 455 days from the date of issuance on notice of commence."
However, after three days of the acceptance letter, the university administration enhanced days from 455 to 546 for reasons best known to them. The varsity officials had also enhanced the project cost from Rs115 million to Rs146 million though they were authorised to enhance up to 4.5 per cent price of the project.
The administration is alleged to have tampered with the varsity documents to show that the contract was initially awarded to Campaigner Associates (Pvt) Ltd (a firm registered with the PEC) and thereafter subcontracted to Campaigner Associates, a fake company.
The subcontracting process was completed in a day (Dec 19, 2007). The PEC rules don't allow subcontracting.
Sources said despite relaxations extended to the company the administration had failed to get the project completed.
The investigation found that former GCUF registrar Muhammad Mushtaq had also taken up the issue of award of contract to a fake company with the acting VC through a letter GCUF/Reg/10/3707 of Aug 24, 2010, and other officials but to no avail.
The registrar alleged in the letter that the project director received million of rupees in commission.
Dr Arif Ali Zaidi (VC) sent Latif packing on charges of corruption. However, the latter managed to regain his position. Dawn
Former registrar Mushtaq, who is now serving at the GCUF as director administration, told that Dr Shahid had been warned against entering into an agreement with the fake company but he did not pay heed. He said Dr Mehboob had made payments of millions of rupees to the firm.
The inquiry committee has reportedly sent report to the Anti-Corruption Establishment for an appropriate action. Dawn

PU VC critical of 'politicised' environ
Lahore: Punjab University Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran says the university's over-all environment has always been politicised and the current Academic Staff Association is trying to further it to protect their "political designs".
In a formal get-together with education reporters and columnists at varsity's Executive Club on Saturday, he said the university administration had decided not to compromise on principles and discipline and would not succumb to pressure tactics being employed by ASA leaders.
Stating that he was focussing on academic and research development, Prof Kamran said the ASA leadership would never speak about the varsity's achievements in terms of academic and co-curricular activities.
He said the PU had been ranked fourth in the country and top university in Punjab in terms of research publications. At present, he said, as many as 80 varsity teachers were doing their PhDs abroad including 62 sent by the incumbent administration. He said PU had 300 PhD faculty members out of total 900 teachers for its 30,000 students, while the anchester University had 5,800 PhD teachers for 35,000 students.
Prof Kamran said the difference in salaries among faculty members serving on the Tenure Track System and those on basic pay scale was reducing owing to 50 per cent increase in latter category teachers. For this reason, he said, he was planning to allow TTS teachers to take afternoon and evening classes and earn money.
Honour: The PU has earned fourth position among 95 public- and private-sector universities and degree-awarding institutions in the country in terms of research publications and has topped among 29 universities in Punjab.
The Higher Education Commission has ranked the universities on the basis of their research publications. The Punjab University published 352 research papers in impact factor journals in 2010.
The Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad; the Aga Khan University, Karachi; and the University of Karachi are ahead of the Punjab University with 548, 416 and 387 research publications, respectively.

How I Achieved Maximum Success with Tips
Measures to Take for Personal Wellness &Aesthetics
To be healthy means that you are state of wellness is holistically regarding your physical, mental and spiritual aspects. A large number of individuals are workaholics, and they do not have time for their selves for personal wellness and so to achieve this, they must incorporate wellness time in the midst of their tight schedules. Lack of personal time to unwind and reflect on one's life can be the cause of leading an unhappy life.
Life should be enjoyable and not stressful, so it is important to achieve the three aspects of well being.
To start with, you must have a target to achieve holistic wellness as an individual or as a family, but it must be a personal option from within. You should examine your lifestyle and see on things to stop doing and what to do. Physical wellness has a lot to do with your body, and this can be illustrated by weight issues that can lead to many diseases if not properly managed. Keeping fit is crucial to achieving your goal of being physically fit, and it can be achieved by avoiding poor eating habits, engaging in vigorous body activity and taking in enough water to boost the body metabolism. You can also consider signing up for a gym membership or yoga class, and this will make you more energetic and even achieve mental wellness.
Furthermore, it is essential to have a diet plan that includes healthy eating lifestyle and once in a while catering from recipe books to learn about new ways of cooking. Cooking classes can be adventurous and a great way to relax and bond with family members.
If You Think You Understand Health, Then Read This
Being optimistic in life and everything that comes your way will go a long way in ensuring that you are psychologically healthy because every thought or action is initiated in the mind so if you are positive about yourself then everything will manifest through your deeds towards yourself. Have time for your family, and you can even schedule going to picnics and vacations to relax and bond. You can start by reading inspirational books to keep you occupied.
A Beginners Guide To Resources
A trip to the health resort is also another soothing activity; you can go for massages, hairdo among other activities. Feeling good about you can be enhanced by how we look and therefore it is important to invest in how we look.
If you may categorize yourself as depressed or workaholic, then it is important to visit a therapist and talk about your problem, and that will be very beneficial to you.
Having faith in a higher being is essential because when you lay down your problems to them regarding prayer, you feel better and hope that your situations will change. Do not work alone, have people around you that will keep you motivated and help you to achieve your goals.
Personal development is a journey of a thousand miles, and you be patient until you achieve your wellness goals.

'Basic' infrastructure coming soon...
The infrastructure is in the final stages of preparation and is scheduled to launch sometime this year, Reuters reports.
Although the tokens themselves will not be listed in the same way as stocks and securities, MOEX chief executive Alexander Afanasiev explained that the exchange would display token information alongside other relevant company information.
He told Reuters that the 'basic' infrastructure is in the final stages of development and should be up and running in the next few months.
Because ICO tokens and the larger cryptocurrency market are not legally protected assets, they will not be listed in the same way as company shares etc.
ICO data to appear like fiat currencies
Instead, they will appear in the same fashion as fiat currencies so the ICO and crypto data will appear much the same as forex info.
Afanasiev explained (rough translation): "We're looking at this from the point of view of fiat currencies presently because cryptocurrencies do not have the status of a legally protected asset. If that happens, we will place them in our system as well."
The prospect of one day giving crypto enthusiasts the opportunity to invest in future contracts for ICOs was also touched upon by the chief executive; future contracts for Bitcoin (BTC) were launched by a handful of investment firms in the U.S. earlier on this year.
Putin remains cautious of cryptos
Despite this development, Russian president Vladimir Putin remains cautious of cryptocurrencies, as a whole.
Although, he did acknowledge that the underlying blockchain technology could help Russia circumvent financial sanctions led by Western nations.
Indeed, this was the approach taken by Venezuela recently using its controversial state-backed (the first of its kind) Petro token.
It may have worked for a short period but the U.S. were soon wised up and President Trump promptly banned the use of all Venezuelan cryptocurrencies, domestically, in March of this year.

Vincent D'Onofrio's initial conversation with Stanley Kubrick was unconventional, to say the least. He shared the story of his first encounter with the legendary director at Sunday morning's WFF Actors Dialogue panel at Utopia Studios.
Photo by Danika Atkins
D'Onofrio, who got his big-screen break as the unstable, overweight Pvt. Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence in Kubrick's iconic Vietnam War film "Full Metal Jacket," heard about the role after running into his friend Matthew Modine in New York City. Modine, who played Pvt. J.T. "Joker" Davis in the film, told D'Onofrio there was a character whose role had yet to be filled and that D'Onofrio should give it a shot.
D'Onofrio, standing on a stoop on 10th Avenue in Manhattan, recorded himself reciting a monologue from the play he was acting in at that time (no easy feat back in those days, D'Onofrio noted, as it required renting an expensive camera and various heavy equipment) and sent it in. He got a phone call a few weeks later from a man claiming to be Kubrick.
"I said, 'Go (expletive) yourself," D'Onofrio said, and he hung up on him. Later that night, Kubrick called back, and assured D'Onofrio he wasn't joking. He then sent him a page of dialogue — "with no punctuation … in all capital letters" — and asked him to record it and send it back to him.
"I just put it on tape … and I got hired a few weeks later," said D'Onofrio. He then spent the next four months in London gaining 80 lbs. for the role.
One of the biggest misconceptions about Kubrick, D'Onofrio said, is "that he was nutty. He wasn't at all. He'd remind you of most artists you know here in Woodstock."

- A leader needs to learn follower-ship. Unless you learn to follow others well, you will not know how to lead others.
- Develop self-discipline.
- Practice patience- you cross the finish line with people.
All these have been eye-openers but what got me thinking most was the first point. Who do I follow? Why do I follow them, and what does following someone mean to me?
Times have advanced as opposed to back in the days because now we can interact with world leaders via social media. If you want to look up someone, you don't need police records as yet- just go to Google.
If you want to call someone or have a conference meeting, get on Skype and start talking and all is well, but there's more that goes beyond what we share online.
Have you heard of Digital FootPrint?
This is the data that's left behind by users on digital services, and it could be active or passive data. Like say you can get my first blog entry when you search for it online, or even go through my previous entries...because like my cousin says, "the internet never forgets!"
So, I started going through my archives and also online trends and realized that I've been places I tell you. If you hit up my name you'll get the various sites that I'm on including my smashwords,amazon, and blogs: and this did freak me out just a little bit! So I figured that like Nuruddin says "words are like stones, don;t throw them" there's always the need to be careful with my words, thoughts and mode of sharing them.
This had me change my sharing settings earlier this year- and I'm glad some people got to subscribe for updates on their own- thanks a bunch!
But there's the flip-side of all this- I have had the opportunity to work with a lot of people- and it's taught me so much about how to treat others yet it seems like it's never enough. The best place to learn how to treat others is by being treated by another person.
You can get an employer you work with, work for or work under.
An employer you work with is like your partner in crime. They are always there to help to rebuke but all in all they help you improve.
An employer you work for is aware of your duties- but to get to the humane side of him you have to go through someone else.
The worst of all, I'd say, in my humble experience has to be the employer you work under. Have you ever worked for someone and felt like a true slave? If there was food- then you'd eat the remains of what his/her dog has relished? Such an employer barks orders, insults and most of all finds it best if you do not speak but simply do what he says...it's a pathetic feeling.
So, whatever you engage in find the strength and time to think...would you rather work with people towards achieving your vision, or have them work for you, or have them work under you?

Elbows and toes are visible.
The fingers have grown to the first joint.
Facial features — the eyes, nose, lips, and tongue — continue to develop.
The outer ears begin to take shape.
Organs begin to be controlled by the brain.
The length is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
feet at 10 weeks in the womb
The unborn child is now called a fetus, rather than an embryo.
The head is half the length of the body.
The arms and legs are long and thin.
The hands can make a fist with fingers.
Red blood cells are produced.
The length is about 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 inches.
face at 12 weeks in the womb
The neck is present and the face well formed.
The eyelids close and will reopen at about 24 weeks.
Tooth buds appear.
The arms and legs move.
All body parts and organs are present.
The fibers that carry pain to the brain are developed; however, it is unknown if the unborn child is able to experience sensations such as pain.
Definitive signs of male and female gender are present.
A heartbeat can be heard with electronic devices.
The length is about 2 to 3 inches.
The mouth makes sucking motions.
Amniotic fluid is swallowed.
Sweat glands develop.
The liver and pancreas are starting to work.
The length is about 3 to 4 inches.
21 weeks and fighting for life
Some experts have concluded that the unborn child is probably able to feel pain.
The skin becomes less transparent as fat begins to deposit.
Eyebrows and lashes appear.
Breathing-like movements become regular and are detected by ultrasound, but the lungs have not developed enough to permit survival if birth occurs.
The unborn child turns its entire body side to side and front to back.
The length is about 6 to 7 inches.
I'll probably finish this some other time. But I just wanted to say... this is THE coolest stuff EVER!!!

This drawing has been hiding away in one of my thesis sketchbooks for over a year now, but I finally have an excuse to post it. In a couple of days, I will be flying over to the United Kingdom to attend Hogwarts disguised as a First Year…erm, look for my red-headed prince attend my cousin's wedding just outside London, England.
I have been looking forward to this trip for a very long time; more than anything else, it will be a good break from the ritual and routines of everyday working life.
See you again in three weeks!
