It is obviously in our own self-interest to remind you that this Saturday, August 1, is our Henry Ford Birthday Tour led by Michigan Trails & Greenways Alliance's Todd Scott. (BTW, his blog M-Bike is really, truly a must-read.) It's going to be really interesting and informative, for sure.
But there are two other cycling happenings on the same day we'd like to share with you as well.
In the AM, it's the City to City Kick-Off Ride! Join Kevin and Emily as they head off to Chicago, raising money for Cystic Fibrosis. Join them at Campus Martius and ride them out of town!
From Chicago, Emily will head to Denver. Read this:
Rocking cystic fibrosis so hard that CF will one day stand for "Cure Found" is Emily Schaller's mission in life. In September, 2009, Emily will take her mission on the road. Heading west from Detroit, Emily will ride her bike on a month-long Emily to Ellen for Cystic Fibrosis campaign with the hopes of ending up on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Ellen DeGeneres is Emily's hero and being on The Ellen DeGeneres Show has been her dream for years. "Her show is the perfect vehicle to deliver my story," says Emily, founder of the Rock CF Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to finding a cure for CF. "I want to educate as many people as I can about cystic fibrosis and emphasize how the never ending fight of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made it possible for me to live my life to the fullest."
Emily will ride her bike 1,400 miles from Detroit, MI to Denver, CO. The first 300 miles from Detroit to Chicago will be part of her Rock CF Foundation's City to City Ride with six other riders. From Chicago, she will head west to Denver. Because Emily and her CF doctor decided that riding through the desert is not a great idea, her modes of transportation from Denver to Burbank, California will be adventuresome. A canoe trip down the Colorado river? A donkey ride through the Grand Canyon? A moped along Route 66?
Swallowing forty pills a day, taking breathing treatments and undergoing chest physical therapy are all part of her daily routine. And because her body can't absorb nutrients normally, she expects her daily intake of 3,000 calories to almost double on the ride. Exercise has improved Emily's lung function and has allowed her to complete two half marathons in one year. Riding across the country, she hopes to shine a light on what the future holds for the cure of cystic fibrosis.
Emily, you rock!
Read more about City to City and register for the send-off ride here.
Then, in the afternoon, you can hit up The Hub's Safe Streets Youth Ride Fundraiser. It's a 2:30 p.m. start time, and you'll be riding with graduates of The Hub's Earn-A-Bike program. The ride ends at the U-M Detroit Center for refreshments and snacks. Register online at http://safestreetsyouthride.eventbrite.com/.

I'm considering something, and I wanted to see what you think.
Like most people, I have goals that I have set for myself. Some are short term, goals I want to achieve the next week, or the next month. And some are long term, things I want to achieve in the next year, or even five years.
I'm trying to be more disciplined about doing the things I need to do to achieve my goals. I'm getting better at setting them, writing them down, and then working towards them. But I'm still improving, and I thought maybe you could follow me on my journey.
Should I start sharing my goals, and how I'm doing in reaching them, with you?
Would this be of any interest to you? Or would it be more along the lines of Thanks Candace, but no thanks?
Do you have goals? How good are you at working towards them? How do you track your progress against them? I'd like to hear, so feel free to share in the comments below.

Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien's only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan's Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King's Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan's biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy.
While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love?
Jeann's Thoughts
After Crown of Midnight, we had no idea where Heir of Fire was going to take the plot from there, as Celeana takes off to a new land while Dorian and Chaol stay in Adarlan. Heir of Fire takes a while to get off the ground, fleshing out the land of Wendlyn and adding some new characters to the mix. While the previous books were set in Adarlan, Heir of Fire truly explores its potential as an epic fantasy by showing us multiple plotlines in different kingdoms, cities and characters.
"When they would let me out, so much of my mind had shut down in the darkness that the only thing I could remember was that my name was Celaena. Celaena Sardothien, arrogant and brave and skilled, Celaena who did not know fear or despair, Celaena who was a weapon honed by Death." – Celaena.
In Heir of Fire, Celaena is at a crossroads as she deals with her grief and learns to harness her powers. She undergoes some immense character development and shows us that Celaena spark and charm that we all know as she eats her food heartily, eyes off dresses she likes and banters with new trainer Rowan, who doesn't take no for an answer. I really loved Rowan, as the no-nonsense Fae prince who is indebted to his aunt in service. He's a warrior who commands legions and can relate to Celaena in her pain and grappling with grief.
Sarah J. Maas builds so many powerful, strong males that we could all ship for Celaena. Unlike Dorian or Chaol though, Rowan is all business as he treats her as a soldier and doesn't treat her with kid gloves or as a dainty young maiden. He isn't enthralled with her beauty or charm and because of this, they develop a powerful friendship over the course of the novel.
She supposed it was nice, having someone, even an overbearing, snarling Fae warrior, bothering to care whether she lived or died.
I also really liked Aedion, Celaena's childhood friend who has been looking for his long lost friend, and there are some interesting, tense developments between all of the characters. I still ship my favourite Chaol and Celaena though – and I wish there were more moments between them during the course of the book.
There are a lot more point of views in Heir of Fire as compared to the previous books, which I found overwhelming at times. Between Chaol, Dorian, Celaena, and new characters Aedion, Manon, Sorscha and Rowan, I counted at least seven point of views in the book. There is a lot happening between all of these characters, but it was an interesting way to delve into the mind of different characters and their motivations. Despite it flipping around, I really enjoyed these new characters: Aedion, the King's puppet who has his own hidden motivations, Sorcha, the healer who has always had a thing for Dorian, and Manon, the Blackbeak witch with a wyvern who is battling other witch clans to take control. In classic Sarah J. Maas fashion, there was plenty of twists and secret reveals throughout the book to keep things interesting.
He'd been a fool once, swearing he would tear the world apart for Celaena. A boy in love with a wildfire – or believing he was in love with one. – Dorian
Heir of Fire takes a different turn from its predecessors, and those who aren't familiar with high fantasy books may struggle along with all of the new characters, places and the outer world building outside of just Adarlan. I found like there was too much going on at times – I just wanted the romance between Chaol and Celaena from the first few books. Throughout the book I was screaming NOOOO as certain developments will happen based on their time apart. Heir of Fire isn't a quick read by any means, it takes the time to build up and develop these new characters. But it builds up momentum towards the end of the book as we are thrust into a dark world of demons, magic, war and fae which will take your breath away.
An excellent installment in this amazing fantasy series with the introduction of some amazing characters and some twists and turns with the ones that we love. This series is gearing up to become absolutely amazing and I have the feeling it's going to completely blow our mind!
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

5 Tips to prevent Ransomware
Ransomware is a form of malware that generally works by encrypting a user's files and folders on the infected computer, from there it can quickly spread to any attached network drives such as your iCloud or file server via mapped drives. This makes it extremely dangerous as it can cripple an entire organisation in almost a blink of an eye.
Once encrypted there's normally some sort of message left behind by the hacker which can be in the form of a txt file or image file with the details on how to un-encrypt your data. Usually the hacker will ask for the payment to be made in Bitcoin to their personal Bitcoin wallet, the reason being it's almost impossible to track.
What can you do about it?
Back Up your data
Now backing up data by itself won't help you prevent ransomware, but it will help get rid of the effects of ransomware on your network. By backing up your data you can rest easy knowing that even if all your files were encrypted it would be as simple as restoring from your back-up.
Install updates and patches as soon as possible
Installing the latest updates and patches is one of the easiest ways to prevent ransomware but it's one that's often forgotten. A large portion of Malware is designed to exploit security holes already identified in common applications, updating the software is the only way for the company to fix these holes.
Comprehensive staff training
Staff are more often than the not the main reason for a business getting infected with ransomware, it doesn't matter how good your IT security is if your staff are not trained up in how to browse the web safely or how to recognize suspicious looking e-mails. Staff should be provided with comprehensive training as well as regular refresher courses to ensure they're kept up-to-date with the latest phishing trends.
Firewall and Spam filters
The best approach is to have a multi-layered defence when it comes to IT security, you need to make sure that you're not open to attack from the outside. The best way to do that is to use a firewall as the first line of defence, a firewall will block any unwanted traffic to your network from going any further.
E-mail is one of the preferred methods of attacks for a lot of spammers and ransomware. A good spam filter will ensure that most malicious messages will be blocked before it reaches your e-mail server. Although some will still get through which is why it's important to also train the users as mentioned above.
Have a strong password policy
This is one that many people do not follow, or their password is so complex that it needs to be written down usually ending up left on post-it notes on desks. Passwords should be long and complicated with a mixture of upper, lower-case letters, numbers and symbols. Users should also have a different password for each application.

FIND ME is the result of the collaboration between the very talented musician, songwriter and producer Daniel Flores (Issa, The Murder of My Sweet) and the extraordinary singer Robbie LaBlanc from Blanc Faces. The band has already released two gems of pure melodic rock paradise and nowadays (22nd of February) is about to unleash its brand new masterpiece with the title "Angels In Blue" through Frontiers Music s.r.l.
As I mentioned above, Find Me released two amazing and pure melodic rock records that, in my book, are both already classics. "Angels In Blue" is movin' to the same melodic rock/edgy AOR paths of the band's previous recordings and that means soaring n' passionate vocals, amazing guitar lines, killer songs and a crystal clear production. Apart from LaBlanc and Flores in "Angels In Blue", we, also, find Michael Palace (Lead guitars and rhythm guitars on "Can't Let Go" and "Only The Lonely"), Philip Lindstrand (Rhythm guitars), Marcus Nygren (State of Salazar in Backing vocals on Straight For Eternity), Joan Thuresson (State of Salazar, Guitar solo on Straight For Eternity), Sören Kronquist (Keyboards) and Johnny Trobro (Bass).
The first three songs that open "Angels In Blue" (No Tears In Paradise, Chain Of Love and True Believer) are all three just perfect melodic rock at its highest order! All three are pure melodic rock paradise and the sure thing is that all three are gonna make you push the repeat button again and again!! It's really unnecessary to say that the hooks and choruses will make you sing-a-long! Imagine the perfect mix between Giant, The Signal and a 'softer' Eclipse and you'll get the picture. Excellent stuff!
The edgier and keyboard-driven "Straight For Eternity" sound like another highlight out of the new opus while in "One Last Kiss" we have a really superb ballad. So emotional and with a breathtaking melody in it "One Last Kiss" sounds like a song that jumped out straight from the mid 80's AOR scene. "Angels In Blue", "Show Me What You'd Die For" and the cover of Survivor's big hit "Desperate Dreams" are all killers!!!
Find Me is back with album number three, "Angels In Blue", and yes it's yet another killer one. Melodies to die for, excellent musicianship, timeless songs, heart-full performances and with a classic 80's AOR vibe to 'haunt' the final result this album is in one word paradise!!!! For sure, Find Me is a band that will make Survivor, Giant and Journey very very proud!!
Rating : 10/10

monitor audio radius loudspeakers
monitor audio radius r45 speakers
The smallest of the Radius models is the R45, a 100mm cube ideal for effects and surround speakers in home theatre systems. A 75mm mid/bass driver on the front provides most of the sound, and a 20mm HF unit located at the rear reflects higher frequencies off the rear wall - this arrangement allows for such a small cube
The optional MASM wall bracket allows the R45 to be mounted on walls and ceilings.
monitor audio radius r90 speakers
The R90 is a larger bookshelf style speaker, but still comes in at under 200mm tall. The larger cabinet allows for a bigger 25mm HF unit and 100mm mid/bass driver.
The optional MASM bracket allows for wall mount, making the R90 ideal for home theatre as well as hifi use.
monitor audio radius r225 speakers
The R225 is the same drivers and driver layout as the R200, but in a much wider cabinet, but at only 67mm depth - around a fifth of the depth of the R200 - makes it ideal for wall mounting around televisions.
The R225 comes complete with it's own dedicated wall bracket.
£275 each
monitor audio radius r270 speakers
Again, sharing the 25mm HF unit and dual 100mm drivers of the R200 and R225 models, the R270 moves them into a slimline, elegant looking floorstanding loudspeaker.
Their increased sensitivity and larger cabinet volume make it an easier load for an amplifier, and gives a fuller sound more akin to a bookshelf type loudspeaker.
The R270 model stands 1000mm high.
b grade pair in walnut £350

Alwar: The son of Pehlu Khan, a 55-year-old dairy farmer who was lynched by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan in April this year, has said he will appeal in court against the state police's decision to remove the names of six men as suspects in his father's murder.
Pehlu Khan had named six men as his attackers in a dying declaration in hospital. In a report, the state police's Criminal Investigation Department has said its investigations showed that six of the men were not involved in the attack and it removed their names from the first information report. For six months since the attack, these men were missing with a 5000 rupee reward on the head of each. That reward is now being withdrawn.
The state CID-Crime Branch, which took over investigations in July, has concluded that the six men were not present when Pehlu Khan was attacked. The police have said that these six men are also not seen in photos or video footage of the attack and that their mobile phone records show they were about 4 km away during the attack.
Nine other men will be tried for Mr Khan's murder. Seven of those were identified from the cellphone video; two others were added to the case later.
Irshad Khan, Pehlu Khan's son who was with him when he was attacked, told NDTV, "I was with my father, these men called out to each other by name. These six men were stopped us first and began beating us up."
Mr Khan accused the police of trying to protect the men, who he alleged belong to right-wing organisations affiliated to the BJP, Rajasthan's ruling party. "The police is trying to prove my father's dying declaration false...We will not give up, we will move the Supreme Court," he said.
On April 1 this year, Pehlu Khan and his two sons were transporting cows that they had bought at a cattle fair in state capital Jaipur to their home in Haryana. They were stopped on the Jaipur-Delhi National Highway by cow vigilantes and were severely beaten up. A cellphone video showed Pehlu Khan being yanked by the neck, thrown to the ground and kicked. Mr Khan died in hospital two days later.
"We showed them papers (to prove they were not smuggling cows), but they tore them up and began beating us up," Irshad Khan said. "They killed my father in front of me, there is no point in my being alive. In the last six months these six men were not even arrested and now they have been acquitted," he said.
The police had arrested seven people after the attack based on video footage; all but two were released on bail. The six men whose names have been removed as suspects are Om Yadav, Hukum Chand Yadav, Sudhir Yadav, Jagmal Yadav, Naveen Sharma and Rahul Saini. Jagmal Yadav owns a cow shelter about 4 km from the spot where Pehlu Khan was beaten and to which the cows that Pehlu Khan was transporting were taken.
After Pehlu Khan's death, the police had filed a case of cattle smuggling against the dairy farmer. His son had showed them the bill of purchase, but he did not have permission to transport cattle out of Rajasthan to another state, the police said.
Later in April, after a letter of protest from bureaucrats and civil society activists, Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said "such activities won't be tolerated in Rajasthan". Her minister Gulab Chand Kataria had earlier described the attack as "manhandling".

The story follows Maria, the most powerful witch who lives during the Hundred Years' War in France. She despises war, so she obstructs battles with her strong magical powers. Her meddling with her succubus Artemis and incubus Priapos has caught the attention of the heavens, and so the Archangel Michael issues an edict. When Maria loses her virginity, she will also lose her magical powers. A beautiful angel named Ezekiel is supposed to watch Maria and make sure the witch does not use magic in front of people, but Maria continues to use magic anyways.

Fresh & Fast is a small Imbiss that only serves hot dogs (it seems to have existed as Hot Dog Laden 2 before). It has some 10 different varieties of hot dogs, mostly the classic you get in the US. I get the Chili Hot Dog (€2.60): the bun is toasted, the wiener is bio but not very tasty, but the chili is extra spicy and has a real kick. It also has some crunchy grilled onions on it.
Nice for its toppings

"Retain me, and
you will talk
only to me."
Back in 2010, congress created the FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act). In a nutshell, this act was created to address tax evasion in offshore and other foreign acts. Not only must the account holder be fully advised of this act, but also the foreign banks and financial entities holding the accounts. What has caused concern and confusion for many is the actual implementation of FATCA, which finally went into effect July 1, 2014.
As a U.S. citizen or legal resident who holds any offshore or foreign bank accounts, it is imperative that you make proper disclosures to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). Do not gloss over FATCA and think it won't affect you or you won't be contacted by the IRS. This can and likely will happen to you if you do not take preventative measures now. Otherwise there are serious financial penalties and in the worst cases, criminal consequences.
These matters should not be left in the hands of inexperienced or general practice lawyers. FATCA can be complicated to interpret. At the Tax Litigation Law Office of Scott Kauffman, I not only have more than two decades of specific tax law experience but also hold an advanced degree in tax law. I have a reputation for thorough and effective tax representation throughout California. Reach out to me to today to discuss your specific FATCA case today.
Call 949-474-1820 immediately if you have questions or concerns about FATCA and how it applies to your situation. You can also contact me online.
FATCA Applies to Banks and Financial Institutions as Well
What gives many offshore account holders so much stress is not just the fact that they must meet many reporting requirements under FATCA but that foreign banks and foreign financial institutions (FFIs) are also being held to reporting measures. If they fail to comply, they face a stiff penalty of having the U.S. source income cut by 30 percent.
This pressure to report is affecting not just large account holders but middle-class holders as well. Let me help you understand how FATCA applies to your situation and develop the best strategy to resolving this issue as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Contact me at my Irvine, California, tax law firm. Remember, I practice exclusively in tax law and can provide you with the solutions you need.

Both patients and practitioners often inquire what the term Functional Medicine actually means.
How is it different than Integrative Medicine?
Is it distinct from Holistic Medicine?
In the 1990's the term Integrative Medicine was popularized as physicians acknowledged that their role, and what they had to offer their patients, was TRUE but partial.
The term Integrative Medicine was described as: "the practice of medicine that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing".
Beautiful, right? A system designed to honor the person and their need for support from myriad modalities of healing.
This thinking was a huge step forward from where medicine had come (while also, we have to recognize, quite retrospective—meaning it's what medicine used to be).
Functional Medicine was also described in the 1990's, by Dr. Jeffrey Bland.
It's just now receiving the recognition it deserves.#FunctionalMedicine is said to better address the healthcare needs of the 21st century. Click To Tweet
Functional Medicine is said to better address the healthcare needs of the 21st century by shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of the medical practice to a more "patient-centered approach, addressing the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms, listening to patients' histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease".
I applaud and am completely in service to the practice of Functional Medicine and what it stands for. When I began seeing an increasing number of clients in my practice—especially those with complex cases—it was these principles that spoke to me as a route to finding resolution and remedy.
And as I further adapted the principles for my clinical needs and my scope of practice, I saw results—results that enabled my nutrition practice to grow beyond my wildest dreams, so much so that I had to hire more nutritionists onto my team to handle the extra clients. And all of this growth happened by word-of-mouth recommendations alone.
Functional Medicine has a therapeutic focus on restoring the optimum function of the body and its organs, that works with systems and frameworks toward resolving the root causes of any sign, symptom or diagnosis, with a highlight on the importance of diet and lifestyle modification as part of its approach.
Interestingly, Integrative and Functional are not mutually exclusive.
As you can see from the descriptions above, an Integrative practitioner can take a functional approach and a Functional practitioner can (and likely does), integrate adjunct therapies and allied practitioners into their therapeutic care. Both are holistic in their approach.
And this is where we come in. You and I.
We are the bridge. We are integrative care and, if we care to have the best results, we practice functionally.
What we do is integral to the therapeutic plan—to bring insight to the people seeking help in healthcare. In this way, we can work with any doctor, with any practitioner, on our clients' teams to support making the everyday practices that matter more accessible, more understandable, easier to follow and with increased support when the tried-and-true just does not work. All this for the increased outcomes that both patients and practitioners deserve.
Functional nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama (FNLP, MSN, CNC, CNE, CHHC) is leading patients and practitioners around the world in a revolution to reclaim ownership over our own health. Her passion for food as personalized medicine was born from the loss of her young husband to a brain tumor in 2002. She's now regularly consulted as the nutrition expert for the toughest clinical cases in the practices of many world-renowned doctors, and trains a thousand practitioners online each year in her methodologies at Functional Nutrition Lab. Learn more about Andrea here.
Integrating Eastern and Western medical philosophies in restoring the body back to its balance giving the body its correct ingredients for its restoration so that people feel better naturally. This is the best way to do a holistic approach medicine.
Merge Medical Center keeps the health of our patients on course, tracking progress regularly, reviewing test results, discussing examinations thoroughly, and determining adjustments to their personal program along the way. As a result, our patients feel engaged in the program and not lost in the process.

A new marketing approach based on urban migrants in Burkina-Faso was discussed by MiN members Making Finance Work for Africa (MFW4A) and PlaNet Guarantee as well as their partner, Innovation for Poverty Action (IPA) during a webinar organised recently.
Below, is a preliminary summary of the different learnings and results discussed:
- A preliminary research conducted by IPA in North Ghana showed that risk, rather than capital access, is a major constraint on investment for farmers. The aversion to the risk of adopting costly inputs significantly explains the underinvestment in agriculture and can be mitigated by weather insurance. In a sample of 252 farmers involved in the research study, farmers with weather insurance increased investment by 33%;
- The experience of PlaNet Guarantee in Sub-Saharan Africa and especially in Burkina-Faso highlighted the need and demand of agricultural insurance to secure farmers revenues and investments in a context of climatic change increasing variability in seasons and extreme climatic events. Index-based and microinsurance approaches adopted by PlaNet Guarantee made climatic risk insurable on the market and affordable for farmers, allowing for the security of more than 100,000 farmers last year in West Africa. Different scaling up strategies are currently being developed with financial institutions, agribusinesses and other farmer aggregators.
- IPA and PlaNet Guarantee entered into a partnership with the University of Kent and Oklahoma State University in the framework of the 3iE initiative to test an innovative distribution model based on farmer relatives living in urban areas.
o In a sample of 20 villages selected for the study, 56% of rural households have at least one relative in the capital, Ouagadougou. 124 urban migrants having relatives in these villages were identified.
o The preliminary studies showed that during the period 2014-2016, rural respondents experienced at least one adverse shock more than 50% of the time; 16.3% coped with using a transfer from relative, 31.6% got by by selling assets and 33.1% said they used no coping mechanism. About 30% of urban migrants receive requests for assistance when rainfall is sufficient, rising to nearly 60% when there is a shortage of rain.
o The distribution campaign with urban migrants obtained interesting results with an uptake of 23% and reduced marketing costs. They preferred insurance policies that pay out directly to their rural relatives.
The next phase of the study (2018-2022) will allow for extending the sample as well as the research questions. Opportunities offered on this model by mobile insurance and international diaspora will be explored also.
57 participants from 24 countries joined and interacted during the webinar with their inputs and questions. A full webinar report will be available soon.

CDR Preamble – DJ Bone
We caught up with DJ Bone ahead of his CDR session at Miranda / Ace Hotel
How has your music production process evolved over time?
I used to be strictly outboard gear/analog but over the years I've realized that there were many digital options that would fit perfectly with the way I produce on the fly. As long as I could reach my goals without compromising the soul or creativity within my sound.
Ableton Live was a big help with this transition.
What key changes have you seen in the music industry/bidness during your time making records? Is independent the only way to go? Are 2017 tryin' times?
Throughout my career so far, I've seen the birth of digital DJs & producers, the advent of CD/USB decks, Facebook and other social media becoming common gauges of popularity, and huge corporate/commercial investments in electronic music. I've seen artists claim vinyl was dead only to come back to releasing on the format years later. I've also seen vinyl distribution companies go bankrupt but new ones emerge years later.
If you want total control of your art, vision and money then independent is the only way to go in my book! Dealing with a major (or semi-semi major) almost always stifles your creativity. But in order to be independent you must be willing to put in the extra hours of hard work.
2017 might be difficult for some as far as adjusting to marketing and technology. I just decided early on to always be as consistent as possible while continuing to grow, excel, innovate and generate new skills so that I'd never have to rely on hype.
Talk us through the track your last [cmd] 'S'd ? ([ctrl] 'S' to PC users)
It's a track called 'The Stalker'!
What piece of studio equipment would you NOT part with – Ever!!
I have to say I'd never part with any of my Doepfer MS404 and MAQ16/3 modules. There's something so raw and beautiful about the sounds they generate. And I love when I can trick them into happy accidents or malfunctions which result in strange sounds. I was introduced to one Doepfer unit by Mad Mike Banks. It was right before my double-groove release on Metroplex came out. He actually walked me through what the MAQ did and all it's functions. Ever since then I really noticed and appreciated the quality of swing as well as the randomness I could get from the MAQ.
Who/What has been on heavy rotation on your audio player of late?
Kendrick Lamar, Stevie Wonder, "The Get Down" soundtrack, Childish Gambino, Byron the Aquarius, Kahdja Bonet, JAY-Z's 4:44, Phase and Gregory Porter.
What can CDR audiences expect from your time with us?
They can expect some truly honest insight into DJ Bone. They'll get the truth, the whole uncut me. I'm excited.
Have you any advice or words of warning for producers/musicians developing musical works in progress to play at CDR?
Be unique and produce from your soul. The last thing you should want to do is follow a trend or sound like someone else.
Finally, anything else you care to add…Really anything!
Well I'm putting the finishing touches on my next album. I'm very proud of it and can't wait to release it! It's going to be very Detroit, very true to myself and very funky. I wanted to focus on complete songs with feeling and I think I've accomplished my goal.
I'm also going to introduce a series of 12″ EPs that will be released every week.

The Miappi team are always cooking up fresh ways to make our walls even more compelling for consumers and beneficial for businesses. Now we've added a whole new ingredient to the mix which will enhance the trust-building effect of Miappi walls by introducing positive reviews from authentic users.
Our brand new integration with Trustpilot allows brands to showcase the very best reviews from this respected online source, helping to nurture brand reputation and generate greater consumer trust. Combined with our increasingly sophisticated machine learning tools, our latest integration allows you to showcase all of the great things consumers are saying about your business, whilst keeping negativity away from your social wall.
In a digital landscape where what brands have to say about themselves in increasingly interpreted as bluster by savvy consumers, displaying positive content from real life users is a powerful way to build trust and brand reputation. When it comes to showcasing valuable, positive UGC (user generated content) our walls and tools are a fantastic asset – and they're always getting better!
Let's take a look under the bonnet to find out how our new integration works…
What is Trustpilot?
Trustpilot is an online review community which was launched by Danish founder Peter Mühlmann back in 2007. Still Trustpilot's CEO today, Peter saw an opportunity to help the ever-expanding legions of shoppers heading online to make their purchases, by building a community where consumers could share their digital shopping experiences. These shared experiences would help shoppers use the web more savvily to make their purchases, helping users pinpoint the best sellers and flag up the worst.
Home to 26 million reviews of 152,000+ businesses (and growing) Trustpilot is used by thousands of consumers who contribute an impressive 750,000+ reviews to the platform every month. With 20,000 new reviewers having their say every day, Trustpilot is a very valuable source of information for digital consumers worldwide. What do they have to say about your business?
Trustpilot & Miappi
If you've worked hard to develop a great service and a sparkling reputation online, you really should be showing it off. In today's digital landscape, what brands have to say about themselves is increasingly ignored by consumers. Instead, it's what other shoppers (just like them) have to say which carries the most weight when it comes to convincing would-be customers to convert.
Our integration with Trustpilot allows you to harness the power of this type of valuable UGC (User Generated Content), showcasing all of those glowing five star reviews which persuade digital consumers to buy from you.
Smarter selection through artificial intelligence
But this new integration doesn't simply pull Trustpilot reviews through to your Miappi social wall. It also allows you to carefully curate the reviews you display without you needing to lift a single moderating finger. We've been developing the machine learning capabilities of our social walls behind the scenes for the past year, making it possible for you to showcase the ultimate blend of UGC and social content, with no need for direct moderation.
From picking the most positive reviews and banishing the bad with smart AI (Artificial Intelligence) and sentiment analysis, to showcasing the most appropriate user generated images with ImageScan, the clever machine learning behind Miappi's visual marketing engine makes honing your showcased content very simple, saving you time and energy.
Whether our tools are picking out the most shared positive content on Twitter, or surfacing new five star Trustpilot reviews, our content marketing platform makes the content which is most valuable to your business visible, with very little maintenance required.
How to add Trustpilot to your Miappi wall
Adding Trustpilot reviews to your social wall is very straightforward. Here's how to get set up…
- Under the Curate tab in your Miappi dashboard, navigate to the Feeds section
- Under the Other feeds section you'll find the Trustpilot icon
- Select this icon, add your website's URL and click Add, this will pull through all of your Trustpilot reviews which you can then choose to moderate manually or leave to our smart AI tools to curate.
We're always adding new platforms to our content marketing platform. Stay tuned for fresh integrations with other review websites and for fresh tools which help you make the valuable visible on any digital touchpoint.

So. A chat with my sister yesterday broached a fun (if creepy) subject: namely Hostel and its musical predecessor, The Wicker Man. (The GOOD one.) We have a question for you: What actor or actress do you find literally irresistible?
To explain: In 1973's The Wicker Man, Sgt. Howie investigates the disappearance of a young girl on Summerisle. He's beset with confounding locals, frustrating half-truths, and a decidedly liberal sexuality; personified in Willow (played by Britt Ekland).
Willow attempts to seduce the very tempted Sergeant. Willow's Song is one of the most famous scenes in the film, as Willow is naked as a jaybird, singing sweetly to Howie, in the next room.
Contextually, giving into temptation would be a very bad thing for Sgt. Howie. [No spoilers, please.]
Fast forward to 2005, and Eli Roth's Hostel. Our plucky adventurers stay at the titular building, taking advantage of local girls' 'hospitality'... while an updated version of Willow's Song plays on the soundtrack. The boys doom themselves by giving in to temptation, and the song is our only warning, as viewers.
So in the car last night, I mention to my sister that if I ever found myself in a movie, about to have sex, when Willow's Song started to play? Run fast, and run far. My sister smirked. "What if it was Natalie Portman?"
"... I'm doomed."
My list of actresses, to whom I'd be incapable of saying no, is a short one. (Beyond Ms. Portman, it's only Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Marion Cotillard.)
Put yourself in my shoes: you're in a movie, and the town's temptress (or temptor) stands in a doorway, a friendly hand reaching out. Willow's Song begins to play. Who is going to be your undoing?

Sid Bernstein – passed away earlier this month in New York City at 96. While he booked concerts for everyone from Tony Bennett to the Rolling Stones (including one of the first rock benefit show, Winter Festival For Peace in 1970), he is best known for promoting the first U.S. Beatles concert.
According to the L.A. Times obit., Bernstein, in 1963, was taking a class at the New School for Social Research on Western civilization and had to read a British newspaper every week. It was while reading these newspapers that he learned about a new band from Liverpool called the Beatles that was creating a "hysteria" in the U.K. Because the agency he was working for wasn't interested in handling the band, he used his own money to set up a show for them at Carnegie Hall and the rest, as they say, is history. You just never know what doing your homework will result in.
I thought I'd include one of my favorite old John Wesley Harding's tunes that addresses, in a different way, the Beatles' coming to America.

Water Program Officer for the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation
In this issue's Q&A, Texas+Water Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Todd Votteler, interviews Emily Warren Armitano, Water Program Officer for the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation (CGMF). Emily R. Warren Armitano is the water program officer for CGMF in Austin. For more than 20 years, she has been making connections between science and policy that supports natural resource management decisions—engaging communities in caring for their watersheds, land and water conservation strategies, and sustainable use of natural resources in Texas. Prior to joining CGMF, Armitano held leadership positions at The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment, acting as principal manager for the center's strategy and programs, and the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, acting as the policy and regulatory coordinator. Armitano has also served as program and management consultant to the United Nations, served on the Hill Country Alliance Board, and served as president of the Colorado River Alliance Board. She has a B.S. in Ecology, Ethology, and Evolution, an M.S. in Environmental Science, and a M.P.A. in natural resource management and environmental policy, and is working on a Ph.D. in Geography.
For what purpose did Cynthia and George Mitchell establish the foundation and why is water one of the areas that the foundation is focused on?
The Mitchell's established the foundation in 1978 on the premise of fostering principles exemplified in their values—with a vision of supporting high-impact projects at the nexus of environmental protection, social equity, and economic vibrancy focused primarily in Texas.
When Mr. Mitchell signed the Giving Pledge sponsored by Warren Buffet and Bill and Melinda Gates, they made public their long-held private intent that the majority of their wealth would be donated to philanthropic initiatives. Since 1978, the foundation and the family have distributed or pledged an estimated $500 million in grants. The foundation made significant gifts to the National Academy of Sciences in 1996 and 2001 to study the scientific merit of sustainability, with the goal of launching the field of sustainability science. Our board and staff are committed to carrying out Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell's philanthropic legacy—supporting the issues and organizations that reflect their values and vision. We utilize a sustainability science approach in our sustainability programs due to its rigorous scientific framework, interdisciplinary approach, and focus on real-world challenges of balancing economic, social, and environmental trade-offs. Clean energy was the foundation's first sustainability-related program—dedicated to minimizing demand for energy, while meeting demand through the cleanest energy options possible. Water is, arguably, the most important long-term natural resource issue facing the state of Texas. Since projections of water availability in Texas show that we won't be able to meet our future demands if nothing changes, water is intrinsically tied to a sustainable future. Water was the foundation's second sustainability program—dedicated to looking at the big questions about water and finding solution-based answers, balancing a rapidly growing population, economy, and demand for energy.
You have worked for over 20 years making connections between science and policy, and engaging with communities in managing their watersheds. How has that prepared you for your new role as the water program officer for the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation?
I have had the great fortune of working in Texas for the past 20 years on water and other natural resources challenges facing our state. In that time, I have learned a number of lessons that I feel have prepared me for my new position at the foundation. Texas leads the nation for fastest-growing cities, with half of the country's top ten metropolitan areas located in the state. In fact, 85 percent of Texans live in urban areas and we rely on the working farms and ranches of rural Texas to protect our water supplies, wildlife, and habitat. For the most part, rural Texans have deep ties to those natural resources and private landowners steward their lands without any compensation expectations for the benefits they provide the state. Meanwhile, people who live in urban centers are more and more disconnected from those lands, from understanding where their water comes from, and the role that rural Texas plays in providing vital resources. If there's one thing the past couple of decades has taught me, it's that connecting people to nature is of utmost importance for our future sustainability. We also live in a state of water inequities. Some communities have access to clean, reliable drinking water while others do not. Some communities, especially in the west and south, experience drought much more intensely than others. And some communities experience floods, particularly on the coast and in Central Texas, more violently than the rest of the state. At a local level, groups of people—especially those from lower socio-economic backgrounds or people of color—feel the effects of climate change through water more powerfully than others in their communities. People in leadership positions have the best intentions to represent their community's interests and needs. But too many voices get left out and have never had a seat at the decision-making table. If we want to use our water resources sustainably and be resilient in the face of climate change, those voices must be heard. To quote Earthea Nance, "the future of water is equity." I cannot underscore the value of building relationships and trust enough. Because of the bottom-up approach to water management, even the most brilliant solutions won't be implemented without willing participants, partnerships, or communities. As a practitioner, I have seen the important role philanthropy can play in finding those brilliant solutions and building trust. Philanthropy can take risks on identifying and testing out big ideas, where government or private industry can't. Philanthropy can also catalyze new initiatives or amplify existing ones. Lastly, my years working in water have always reminded me that I am not an expert, that there are amazing people doing great work in water today, and that there is much yet to be discovered.
What are the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation's goals for water in Texas?
The foundation envisions a future with ample and healthy waters above and below ground that sustain rich, diverse ecosystems while minimizing effects of infrastructure on water quantity and quality throughout Texas and the Gulf of Mexico. Consistent with the sustainability science approach that characterizes the foundation's grant-making, the Water Program aims to increase the scientific understanding of water issues in Texas, which in turn inform the design of effective policy and management approaches to meet environmental water needs. The Water Program's five major goals are to:
- advance watershed scale co-management of surface and groundwater;
- design and promote integrated water management models;
- accelerate and expand environmental flows work;
- bolster and connect water quality work; and
- explore net positive water development and delivery as a new model.
What are some the key efforts that the foundation is supporting to achieve the goals discussed above?
The fundamental focus for support in 2019 has been an investment in statewide water organizations that work on a wide range of water issues including water policy, science, groundwater, communications, urban water, and open water data. In addition, CGMF is supportive of recommendations from the "Advancing One Water in Texas" report that the foundation released in spring 2018. To that end, we recently hosted the U.S. Water Alliance's One Water Summit that took place in Austin this September. In terms of water quality, we are taking an economic lens to investigate the social costs of water pollution in Texas. Lastly, we are supporting water advocacy efforts that span topics from exploring policies for green infrastructure and integrated water resources management to targeted community engagement in San Antonio and along the Gulf Coast.
Are there any geographic areas of Texas that are of special interest to the foundation?
CGMF's Sustainability Programs take a systems view to finding a sustainable future in the face of climate change and population growth. As such, the foundation looks at sustainability challenges holistically—through all of its programs. There are currently two key geographies where CGMF is focusing: the San Antonio Bay Watershed and the greater Big Bend region of far West Texas. Although initially focused on the San Antonio Bay Watershed, the foundation's Headwaters to Tidewaters initiative is working towards sustainable, coordinated management of surface water, groundwater, and land at the watershed scale to ensure ample, clean water that supports a thriving economy, healthy communities and rich, diverse ecosystems throughout Texas and the Gulf of Mexico. In far West Texas, energy development continues to accelerate. All forms of energy—oil, gas, wind, and solar—are central to the Texas economy. But the greater Big Bend region is much more than a source of energy resources. Everyone who has a stake in the area's future deserves input into how energy development is balanced with both community priorities and protection of natural resources. We're listening to community residents and landowners to help minimize impact to our water, land, and air in order to conserve a unique Texas treasure.
Does the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation work with other philanthropic organizations to address water issues, and if so what are some examples?
Absolutely. Whenever possible, we work closely with other philanthropies and non-profit organizations that work on clean energy, sustainability, water, land, and the environment. For example, over the past several years, our Water Program has been actively participating in the Water Funder Initiative, which is a collaborative of funders dedicated to identifying and activating promising solutions in the western United States, where water scarcity and reliability of clean water are urgent issues.


text: Nepgear 30 Report post Posted March 10, 2019 I've been looking to acquire one of these for a while now, so I'm opening this topic to see if there is anyone willing to sell. As for the price, I have about 12 or a bit more gold to spend on this. If you have a different price in mind, or maybe want something else, you can still contact me, we might be able to figure something out. Send me a DM either here or in-game if you are interested. 1 1 Fang Archbane and Mallos reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two Palm Beach County residents have pushed themselves to the limit on national television as they compete in NBC's The Titan Games. Julie Dudley, a 50-year-old grandmother from Jupiter and firefighter of 20 years, defeated an opponent half her age during one of the contests in the premiere episode.

Meanwhile, 27-year-old Chris Ruden was a testament to the inspirational stories the show highlights. The Florida Atlantic University graduate was born with a birth defect that left him with a short arm and only two fingers on one hand. But that didn't stop Ruden, who sported a bionic arm during the trials.

The competitive reality series is hosted by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and reaches more than four million viewers each episode. See more at nbc.com/the-titan-games.
