Exercise total for the week? 2 days of walking 630 meters of walking with no rest period on Monday. 670 meters followed by a rest period then 304 meters after the rest period. All of that is a total of 1,604 meters or 1.604 Km. We were going to walk on Wednesday, I did 30 squats & emailed Kim that my hips & thighs were far too sore to go walking that day. 120 squats sets of 15, ½ hour of yoga, 240 push ups sets of 20, 1260 crunches, & 40 leg lifts on my hands & knees.
I've ventured a little more into the 21st Century. I now have a "Kindle" thanks to my parents who had an older model not being used. I read 2 chapters of a book (Dark Days, a memoir by D. Randall Blythe vocalist for Lamb of God) yesterday & plan to read whenever Kim goes out for groceries. Eventually I'll get a 128gb iPod touch, I'm not a fan of touch screens. I have no cell phone, iPad, Tablet, Laptop or anything other than a desktop PC, a 160gb iPod classic, a plasma 51" TV & a 39" LCD TV. I don't use music streaming sites either, I purchase music from iTunes. My wife has all of the mobile devices in this house, not me. My father is a technological genius with most things! I have trouble now reading an actual book since the print is too small, on a Kindle is much better for me, iPad not so much.
I hear Wednesday was the beginning of Lent. I'm not hard core Catholic but I'll participate. I'll give up potatoes since I gag on them, never liked mashed, baked or boiled potatoes. So far I'm doing excellent giving up potatoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Traditionally, going to University and graduating at least from a BA program is considered to be an absolute must in order to be able to enter the globalized employment market. However, today this is no longer necessarily the case, as there are several other ways to accomplish your qualification needs. Indeed, you can either attend online University programs or you can directly purchase your degree from an online University. Didn't know about this? Here are a few details…
Can you buy a degree from a real University?
Through a service such as our own, you can now purchase your degree from a real, online University without having to worry about legality issues or the safety of your reputation. Indeed, unlike the typical diploma mill, our business does not deal with forging diplomas that look like official documents from famous schools or with selling diplomas from fictitious, inexistent institutions. On the contrary, we maintain contact with hundreds of Universities from almost every country all over the world, so that when you place your order, we find the right school to issue your degree in exchange for a fee.
This way, you will be buying you degree from a real University, spending only a fraction of the traditional tuition fees and dedicating no effort to coursework or learning whatsoever. As you can see, we do not pretend to be a school ourselves, like many diploma mills do in the attempt to convince you that their products are authentic. This is because our services are aimed at helping mature individuals who are in need of a degree and either cannot afford or don't have the time to obtain a traditional one. Consequently, we take great care not to endanger your reputation and we provide you only with degrees that help your career on your way to success.
Is it safe to use your new degree?
The main advantage you gain by purchasing from our website is that it is perfectly safe and legal to use our degrees, unlike those obtained from a diploma mill. You might be wondering what exactly we do different. To answer your question, we make sure that your degree is issued by an actually existing, honorable University, as well as that your records of attendance are stored with the school's official documents. If you purchase your degree from a diploma mill and you state on your resume that you attended Harvard or some other famous school, when your employer will run a background check on you, they will find no records of your attendance, knowing that your diploma is phony. This will certainly forfeit the interview for you, while also endangering your career and reputation.
With our degrees, you don't have to worry about these resume screenings, simply because all your records will look exactly as those of a regular graduate. In addition, we also give you the possibility to choose the country where you would like your degree to be issued, so that you don't encounter any issues when trying to get it recognized. Finally, you can opt for supporting and legal documents that will further confirm the authenticity of your diploma, so as to make the use of your new degree perfectly safe.
No Need to Take Admission Exams, No Need To Study, Receive a College Degree for What You Already Know! Earn an associate, bachelor's, master's or even a PhD degree without a single book, or choose from many more! Even if you struggled or barely made it out of high school!

Letter to William Marks and Newel K. Whitney, 8 July 1838
Source Note
, JS, and , Letter, , Caldwell Co., MO, to and , [, Geauga Co., OH], 8 July 1838; copy, [ca. Aug. 1838]; handwriting of ; two pages; JS Collection, CHL. Includes redaction and docket.One leaf measuring 12½ × 7¾ inches (32 × 20 cm). The top, right, and bottom edges of the leaf have the square cut of manufactured paper, whereas the left edge is uneven, suggesting it was cut from a blank book or a larger sheet. The letter includes a redaction in graphite. The letter was folded for filing and docketed in graphite. In various places, the paper has separated at the folds. The document has undergone conservation.It is not known how or when 's copy came into the possession of the LDS church. The church's Historical Department processed the letter as part of the JS Collection in 1973.
Historical Introduction
On 8 July 1838, JS and his counselors in the wrote a letter to and , conveying a revelation JS dictated that morning. The revelation directed Marks and Whitney to relocate from , Ohio, to before winter and then preside over the Saints—with Marks as the of the church in and with Whitney as a in . To expedite their move, the revelation directed , who had recently traveled from Kirtland to , Missouri, to return to Kirtland and continue settling the debts of the First Presidency.In addition to including the full text of the revelation in the letter, the First Presidency expressed confidence that and would follow the direction in the revelation. The presidency also encouraged all in to migrate to . The letter may have been written on behalf of the First Presidency by , the first signatory.and apparently received the letter, as the extant copy is in Whitney's handwriting. Marks and Whitney moved from later in the year but did not reach northwestern before Missouri governor called for the expulsion of the Latter-day Saints from the state. As directed, continued his efforts in Kirtland to settle the debts of the First Presidency.
See Revelation, 8 July 1838–E [D&C 117].
Whitney heard of the expulsion en route to Missouri and therefore waited for a time in St. Louis.a Marks left Kirtland in October, before he could have heard of the expulsion.b They eventually rejoined the Latter-day Saints in Commerce, Illinois, where Marks was appointed president of the stake and Whitney became bishop of the Middle Ward.c(a[Elizabeth Ann Smith Whitney], "A Leaf from an Autobiography," Woman's Exponent, 15 Nov. 1878, 91. bGeauga Co., OH, Deed Record, 1795–1921, vol. 27, pp. 149–150, 1 Oct. 1838, microfilm 20,242, U.S. and Canada Record Collection, FHL; Letter from William Perkins, 29 Oct. 1838. cMinutes, 6 May 1839; see also Minutes, Times and Seasons, Dec. 1839, 1:30–31.)

At first, I thought that the couple might be the jet-setting couple made up of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt but I don't recall there ever being a circumstance where either of them shied away from mugging for the cameras. Like, it's never, ever happened before. Is this a new Hollywood power couple trying to keep their fame on the downlow? I guess only time will tell. [Source]

Night sky pictures, like the one above, are awesome. I'll be the first to admit they're my favorite type of photo to shoot. There's something very humbling (and amazing) about standing outside in the middle of nowhere, gazing up at the Milky Way and the stars above you. I feel drawn to night photography and pictures of the night sky are special.
I get asked a lot about what gear and settings I use to take these pictures, so I wanted to write an article describing my experience. I will say first and foremost, that I am entirely self-taught. I learned through good-old trial and error. I've always told people that for every cool night sky photo I've taken, there are 500 more I've taken that didn't turn out. Night sky photos take a lot of time and learning, so be patient when you're first starting out.
The Gear
The Camera
I have a pretty long write-up about my gear on the "Gear" tab of this website, but I'll give a quick run down of what I use at night. For the camera, I will always rely on my trusted Sony A6000 (http://amzn.to/2wosn0y). This is a compact yet reliable mirrorless camera with 24.2MP camera quality. It's also been on the market for a couple of years, so the price point is a bit lower than most. This is the lower end of the Sony mirrorless line, but is a great choice for a starter camera. It does well in low-light situations and I've found that the user controls are intuitive and easy to use.
The Lens
For night shooting, I've always relied on my Rokinon 12mm f2.0 (http://amzn.to/2vrI6yK). This is a wide-angle manual lens that gives the operator a lot of flexibility when shooting at night. Not to mention, the frame is comparable to that of a full-frame camera. The low focal point and small aperture allow the lens to deliver high-quality pictures at night with minimal blur. I like this lens in particular because it also doubles as a nice landscape lens. Overall, you can't go wrong with a wide-angle approach.
The Tripod
As with any night shooting, you'll need a tripod. The tripod allows the camera to stay still while capturing the photo, and night sky shooting is virtually impossible without it. There a lot of options on the market, but you can't go wrong with the Sony model (http://amzn.to/2vsKGo7). This is a high-quality and extremely durable tripod which is just compact enough to fit into a backpack. It is 5 feet tall, so taller folks may need to squat a bit, but I have never had any issues with it.
The Method
The Settings
Settings are crucial for capturing the night sky. Even a slight variation in a setting can cause a picture to look drastically different. I'd like to clarify that when first starting, I highly recommend shooting in "Night Mode" under "Scene Selection". This mode allows the camera to automatically choose which setting is best based on the environment around you. Typically, the camera defaults to a long shutter speed (30 seconds) with a low ISO (100-800). This will give you a fairly decent picture, but will oftentimes look quite blurry. This is because the Earth is always moving. While you may not be able to see or feel the Earth's motion, a camera open for 30 seconds will. For example, stars may appear blurry across the sky or trees may be blurry due to wind.
When shooting, I prefer to have a lower shutter speed (10-15 seconds) with a higher ISO (1600-6400). This will make any light appear brighter while also lessening the effects of movement. For example, the picture of the tent above had the following settings:
Exposure time: 15 seconds
F-stop: f4
This brought in the light of the galactic core while also minimizing the movement of the foreground and stars. I prefer to shoot with less brightness and to add colors and exposure in when editing.
For the picture above, I used the same concept. I used a higher ISO 1600 with a shutter speed 4 seconds so as not to blur the trees in the foreground. For this picture in particular, I brought down the brightness of the foreground in post-editing so as to focus the attention on the northern lights.
In conclusion, taking night sky pictures wittles down to personal preference. As I mentioned above, I typically target a mid-range shutter speed (10-15 seconds) while keeping a higher ISO (3200-6400) in order to brighten the sky and minimize blur. Based on user preference, these settings can be adjusted to let it more light (higher ISO) or have a longer exposure (more seconds). I recommend taking a few sessions of photos using the "Night Mode" scene selection and then checking the settings the camera used. Hopefully this helps a bit. Feel free to leave questions or comments below!

By Frank Kane The National
Abdalhamid David Evans is playing a significant role in Dubai's initiative to become the capital of the global Islamic economy.
Mr Evans has been fronting a series of presentations involving the news organisation Thomson Reuters, the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other stakeholders in the initiative announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Three years from now, Sheikh Mohammed said last weekend, Dubai would be a global hub for Islamic business, in everything ranging from finance to food to fashion. "It would signal the beginning of a power shift away from Malaysia towards Dubai. Sheikh Mohammed's initiative has changed the terms of the conversation," said Mr Evans.
It would also be another milestone in his personal journey in Islam. Mr Evans, born in New York to parents of Welsh origins, became a Muslim in the late 1970's. Since then, he has made himself an expert in many aspects of the US$8 trillion global economy that Dubai hopes to lead.
"The first step is to create the vision, and His Highness has done that. This is the first time the Islamic economy is being looked at in depth and as a whole, rather than just as Islamic finance or halal food. It is of vital social, political and economic importance," he said. For much of the past decade, Mr Evans has been orchestrating the rival claim of Malaysia to be the leader of the Islamic economic world.
In the course of his Koranic studies he became interested in those parts of Sharia faith that involved business and finance, and he became such a well-known authority that the former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad sought his advice when that country sought to enhance its own Islamic economy.
He helped to launch the Malaysian Halal Industry Development Corporation and the World Halal Forum, two successful organisations that have helped Malaysia achieve a leading position in the global Islamic economy.
When Sheikh Mohammed launched the Dubai initiative in February, Mr Evans' talents were suddenly in demand in the Middle East. "I had been asking myself when is there going to be a move from the region? When are the Arabs going to get involved? Then along came the Sheikh Mohammed initiative," Mr Evans said.
He is currently playing a leading role in organising what Dubai hopes will become the "Islamic Davos" – the Global Islamic Economy Summit to be held in the emirate at the end of next month. "It's an exciting time. The Sharia laws on trade haven't been much used since the end of the Ottoman empire, when western laws took over. They provide a complete ethical framework for business transactions, very much in need in the modern economy," he said.
His speciality in Islamic economics is halal food, its production, distribution and retailing. That is one of the "seven pillars" planned by Dubai as the main strategic directions of its plans over the next three years.
"It's an natural area. The countries of the Middle East and North African are not great food producers, so they rely largely on non-Muslim exporters like Australia, New Zealand and Brazil to produce food according to halal principles. But there is no concerted regulation or certification on a global basis. There is a role for Dubai here," Mr Evans said.
Several big global food groups – such as Nestle,Unilever and McDonald's, are considering backing the Dubai initiative, and their involvement could transform the halal industry from a peripheral sector of the global food industry into a mainstream business.
But Mr Evans warned: "The big corporations have to be careful how they roll out their halal offerings. There are social and political implications to their plans. Nestlé has had internal halal standards for the past 15 years, while McDonald's and Burger King have an in-depth knowledge on the subject. For the global food industry, it's not a matter of 'if' on halal food, but when and how."
The other big sector of the global Islamic economy is finance, with billions of dollars in the international markets for sukuk (Islamic bonds) and takaful (Islamic insurance). "But food and finance remain in silos. I've often wondered why Islamic finance isn't more involved in food investment, but they will be brought together by the Dubai initiative, and that's a good thing," Mr Evans said.
Of increasing importance, he believed, was the lifestyle element of the global economy. "Cosmetics, education, travel, tourism, media, even fashion … they can all be marketed to the next generation according to Islamic principles," he said.
He believed Dubai had some natural advantages in its quest for global supremacy in the Islamic economy. "Dubai is not super-strict in religious matters, like some other countries, and that is part of the appeal. It is serious about religion, but it is also perceived as 'cool' around the Islamic world. Dubai can play that role extremely well," Mr Evans said.

Fontech's Home WiFi Solution allows operators to improve and control their subscribers' in-home WiFi experience. Not only does it ensure coverage throughout the home, it also gives operators complete visibility and management capabilities over the service to autonomously resolve potential issues, and state-of-the-art RRM/SON technology to ensure the service is autonomously optimized.
Given its functionalities, its benefits are quite clear: a better in-home connectivity experience means more satisfied customers which directly impacts NPS, churn, and support costs. But how, and to what extent? Well we've done the numbers.
The first thing is to clearly identify how each of Fontech's Home WiFi Solution components impact the operator's KPIs, as we've done below:
- Home WiFi App. This solution features an intuitive app for end users to easily solve some very common issues such as those related to SSID/passwords, adding new devices, router placement, or diagnosing service performance. Until now, operators offered very few self-management capabilities of the sort, or at least not much more than a few tips on a help/FAQ section of the website. Giving users a simple app to self-manage means they will no longer have to call for these issues, resulting in lower customer care costs for the operator.
- Home WiFi extenders and RRM/SON capabilities. A very common customer issue is "my WiFi is slow or not working", and these types of calls are a major cost generator for operators. Extenders ensure coverage in every room of the house. Plus, our SON/RRM capabilities implies that the network is continuously taking performance measurements and automatically adjusting multiple radio parameters (such as band, channel, transmission power and others) to ensure optimal performance. Enhanced coverage and optimal performance simply mean that the WiFi service will be working at its best, thus reducing the users need to call for this issue.
- Home WiFi Platform. Until now, customer care agents have been blind to what happened in users' Home WiFi networks. The result? Calls with a very high average handling time (AHT), very low first call resolution (FCR), unnecessary hardware replacement, and technicians being sent to customer's homes. Each case, a major loss for the operator. But our Home WiFi Platform gives agents the necessary visibility and management capabilities to know exactly whats is wrong with the service and in many cases, solve the issue remotely. This component is key to reducing AHT, increasing FCR, and avoiding unnecessary truckrolls and hardware costs.
And how much does this add up to? Based on conversations with our clients, we've discovered that WiFi-related calls can average 15-40% based on the operator type (converged or purely fixed). The cost of a call varies from market to market, and whether outsourced or not. But in general, a technical support call will be 5-10 times more expensive than a generic call. The cost of a technician can easily exceed €60 in many markets and a CPE €40.
This implies that minimal improvement in Home WiFi performance translates into a major impact on cost. Not to mention other key impacts for the operator beyond cost such as churn reduction, CPE lifetime extension, differentiation from competitors (and hence higher customer acquisition), and the opportunity to upsell or offer other value-added services such as parental controls.

Loading Case Study Experience
To promote World of Beer, we developed a quiz using the wealth of knowledge possessed by the World of Beer team. We crafted the user experience to be fun, challenging, and informative, which eventually drives traffic to the World of Beer sites and creates brand awareness.
The interface was 'school' inspired to fit the theme of quizzing people on their knowledge of beer. We created a custom designed UI which was responsive for all screen sizes and retina display friendly. The result was a fun and friendly UI which kept the brand's core values at the forefront.
Color Palette
The app was designed and developed to be mobile ready. On the small screen, we have a custom designed interface that is touch friendly. Supporting all major smartphone devices and browser types, this truly is a cross-platform solution in every sense of the word.
The patrons at WoB have been thoroughly pleased with the quiz and are often found challenging their friends to beat their score. Bragging rights aside, losing to a friend in a challenge can often result in having to buy them a beer. Cheers.

1. Accept that we will "have trouble" in this world
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
All nine pastors believed that suffering and following Christ go hand in hand. One shared, "We felt that was normal—we already knew that it was going to happen, we weren't shocked. If you want to follow God, you have to accept this kind of consequence."
Though the coronavirus pandemic is of course not a consequence of following Jesus—no one is being targeted by the virus for their faith!—the lesson is important. We must accept that trouble will come to us in our lives—and for those of us who follow Jesus, even moreso. But we do not have to despair; Jesus has already told us we can "take heart" because He has overcome!
2. Let go of our lives and surrender to God's will
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." (Matthew 16:24)
When the Chinese pastors chose to stand firm in their faith, they risked losing everything dear to them. Their decisions came at great cost: The faced the loss of health, family, future, education and even their lives. They described pivotal moments in their suffering where they had to make the choice to let go of control over their lives and surrender to God.
In our case, we need to understand that God is sovereign. If we find ourselves asking, "Where is God?" the answer is simple: "He is on His throne." Something like the coronavirus forces us to reckon with reality: We are not in control, but God is. He can bring hope, grace, peace and love to any circumstance—and work through trouble to bring Himself glory. We simply have to choose to follow and trust Him to do so.

Last CFTC Commissioner Needs $31.5 Million Extra To Do Work Of Five CFTC Commissioners
New SEC Chairman Jay Clayton is being a good little boy, graciously accepting the $1.6 billion Santa Trump offered him in his, uh, starry-eyed and slightly deranged budget. Sure, Clayton thinks the $240 million that'll give him to spend on technology is, uh, a little modest compared to the $10 billion some of the folks the SEC polices spent on the same, but that's OK because the SEC's sort of taking the year off anyway.
Things over at the CFTC are a little different. For one, that regulator's budget gift was less than one-sixth the size of its big brother's. For another, it still doesn't have a permanent chairman. And, oh yeah, the still-interim guy? He's also the only sitting commissioner on the CFTC right now, holding meetings with four empty chairs surrounding him. And so with all due respect to Mick Mulvaney's carefully thought-out plans, and in spite of whatever impact it might have on his getting the top job for real, J. Christopher Giancarlo's going to need a few more bucks if he's going to continue doing the work of five people.
"The $31.5 million in additional funds is not a formulaic or superficial number, but a thorough and informed assessment of what the CFTC needs to execute its mission," acting Chairman Chris Giancarlo said in prepared remarks.

Light rail construction to close Washington Ave. bridge in Minneapolis
The Washington Avenue Bridge over the Mississippi River will close at 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18 because of Light Rail construction and will be closed to vehicle traffic through the weekend. The bridge is expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 21.
During the closure, a signed detour will be in place. Pedestrians and bicycles will still be able to access the upper deck of the bridge through the weekend.
The closure is needed to continue work on the Central Corridor Light Rail project. In recent months, all traffic has been using the north side lanes of the bridge while crews worked on the south side lanes. This weekend, construction crews will move to the north side of the bridge and switch traffic to the south side.

Oh, and on the subject of livestreams. My computer (a laptop) has been struggling lately, so I'm saving up for a proper desktop workstation before I start streaming again just to be safe. I'm already about halfway there and I might do a few commissions to speed it along :B. Looking forward to streaming again with a computer that won't fry itself trying XD.
Thanks so much for reading!

There goes that pesky passive voice again. It truly is one of the world's most deadly serial killers.
"I've ordered a thorough investigation into this tragic incident and the investigation is ongoing," U.S. Army Gen. John Campbell said. "The Afghans ordered the same. If errors were committed we'll acknowledge them. We'll hold those responsible accountable and we will take steps to ensure mistakes are not repeated."
This guy really earned his pay. "If errors were committed"? I mean,"if"? What in the unholy hell is that? You blew the shit out of a fully staffed—and fully functioning—hospital. There are only two alternatives. Either you deliberately lit up the hospital, in which case somebody—or a whole lot of somebodies—is guilty of a war crime, or a "mistake" clearly was made. The hospital didn't blow itself up. The conditional is always the accomplice—the Bianchi to the passive voice's Buono.
This was a truly horrible event, the details only now emerging as to how horrible it was.
I was sleeping in our safe room in the hospital. At around 2am I was woken up by the sound of a big explosion nearby. At first I didn't know what was going on. Over the past week we'd heard bombings and explosions before, but always further away. This one was different - close and loud. At first there was confusion, and dust settling. As we were trying to work out what was happening, there was more bombing. After 20 or 30 minutes, I heard someone calling my name. It was one of the Emergency Room nurses. He staggered in with massive trauma to his arm. He was covered in blood, with wounds all over his body. At that point my brain just couldn't understand what was happening. For a second I was just stood still, shocked. He was calling for help. In the safe room, we have a limited supply of basic medical essentials, but there was no morphine to stop his pain. We did what we could.
And Glenn Greenwald is absolutely correct in pointing out two things – 1) that this atrocity would have been buried in the news cycle had it not been perpetrated upon a facility operated by Doctors Without Borders, which is one of the truly noble organizations in the world, and also one that is extremely media-savvy, and 2) that the American press has been willing to swallow whatever changing alibi the Pentagon has been willing to dish up. Yesterday, on Wolf Blitzer's program, he did a segment on the bombing of the hospital, and followed it up with a piece by noted military shill Barbara Starr on General "Joe" Votel, the chief of special operations at the Pentagon, in which General Joe and Barbara went on at length at how tough it is for "Special Ops" to root out terrorists around the world. Which is obviously true, but I refuse to believe that this programming juxtaposition was any more of an accident than lighting up that hospital was.
The military of the world's longest standing democracy is now spending its time ducking and dodging, and blaming our plucky Afghan allies, for committing an act so heinous that it would have embarrassed Goering. This is the kind of thing that happens when you make war in a place and you fight it from the air – which should give pause to the people who want to ladle a few onto Syria and (maybe) Iran, but which obviously won't. That is no excuse, however. Whatever mistakes "were" made, this was a war crime, pure and simple, and the people who ordered it, and the people who carried it out, should be held to serious account, which they obviously won't be. And, maybe, it's time to think (again) about why in the hell we're still making war at all in that godforsaken part of the world.

With the World Cup in Brazil just a couple of short months away, fashion-conscious football fans from around the world will be queuing up in sports shops to get their hands on the shirts their heroes will be wearing on football's biggest stage. Some nations have stuck to the tried and tested classics - Holland will rock up in a traditional plain Oranje shirt and reigning champions Spain have simply added a few darker stripes to their usual red-and-gold outfit - but this article will show you some of the more left-field efforts that will be filling the wardrobes of football hipsters worldwide in the months to come.
Possibly the nicest, if not the most traditional kit at this World Cup will be Germany's, with Özil, Müller, Schweinsteiger & co. set to model a beautiful white and red home kit, with a QPR-esque red and black hooped away shirt. The home kit truly is a joy to behold with a multi-hued red 'V' shape around the chest area, black Adidas stripes down the arms and a black and red loop around the end of each sleeve, and with the Germans proving to be many people's favorites to romp to victory in Rio, they could lift the trophy for the first time since 1990 (West Germany) in style.
The away shirt is less refined and is almost identical to QPR's away kit this season, but no doubt there will be a bit more style and verve on show than has been found on Loftus Road in recent weeks. Rumors of a laser-guided penalty assistance system built into the socks are as of yet unconfirmed.
The tournament in Brazil is being widely touted as a festival of color, and one side who have certainly taken that in their stride are dark horses Belgium, who sport all the colors of their flag in their three kits by Burrda Sports. The Belgian FA's crown is evident in a large pattern on the home shirts, with the Red Devils' home top almost resembling something a Ferrari F1 driver would be seen sporting before race day. A bold red design is accompanied by a black and yellow stripe through the middle, and the away kit is an imposing black with a shock of red and yellow down the diagonal.
It becomes even more imposing when you remember that it will be worn by Lukaku, Benteke and Kompany, making a fearsome prospect for opposing sides. Given the contrasting nature of their home and away kits, a third alternative seems almost unnecessary, but if it becomes urgent - if they play Germany at 'home', for example - a yellow version of their home kit will be available. Just hope there aren't too many flies buzzing around the stadium.
In total contrast to the tropical heat of the Amazon rainforest where some will have to play, Russia have decided to bring along some home comforts with an icy blue tinge to their stunning away kit. Their red kit has an interesting detail around the bottom (supposedly a watermark of the 'Kosmonauts Museum' in Moscow to honor the Russian space program) and the famous words of the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, on the back of the collar - "пoеxали!", or "Let's go!"
However, it is their away effort which will raise the most eyebrows, a simple white shirt with a bright blue outline around the shoulders. Also bearing the words of Gagarin on the collar, it has been suggested that up close, the blue represents the view the first Kosmonauts had when they reached the edge of the atmosphere. Russian fans will be hoping their team can reach for the stars in a tricky group.
It would seem that Colombia are the style gurus of South America, as Adidas have created for them a very attractive yellow and blue number. The diagonal stripes across the shirt give a more modern feel to a traditional kit, and the patterning on the largest stripe - apparently representative of a sombrero hat - make it a genuinely stylish shirt.
An Andean Condor, native to the region, adorns the back collar of the shirt with the motif 'unidos por un pais' or 'united for a nation', reflecting the unifying effect it is hoped a strong showing from the Colombians will have on the poverty-stricken country. A plain red away kit is noticeably quieter, something which could reflect the team as a whole without talisman Radamel Falcao, injured in action for AS Monaco earlier this season.
Another side hoping to make a mark with a striking kit design are Mexico, who have added what seem to be lightning bolts striking the country's badge. A green pinstripe design seems fairly standard at first but the orange bolts across the front are certainly unique, if they do seem a little childish.
Their away kit also comes under the category of 'out there', an orange-red punctuated by what I'm told is a 'Mexican power pattern' in black across the middle. They could easily be mistaken for the Netherlands at first glance, but will be hoping to avoid any emulation of the Dutch performance in 2010's final - perhaps they could add a Mexican wrestling tint to Nigel De Jong's kung-fu assault on Xabi Alonso.
Completing this list are a team few expect to see much of in this tournament, Iran, but they certainly win the prize for the fastest animal on their shirts. The watermark of a bemused-looking Iranian cheetah features on both the home and away shirts, but even ignoring such ferocious imagery, both kits have their merits.
The white home shirt with a thin red band and green collar is simplistic and effective, though the patterning on the red away shirt may be a little overwhelming. With the colours matching those of the Iranian flag, the shirts could only be seen for their three group games, but they will certainly leave a lasting impression.
So who wins? In my opinion you can't look past Germany's red and white masterpiece, but it could be that you prefer a less provocative kit to represent your nation; Holland and France will both look good without appearing to try too hard on the fashion front. Whatever your country and whatever your preference, let us know in the comment section below!

Pheros.... Duh!
Otherwise I like whatever is in Chikara scented, Hugo Boss, LP's Merlin's Blend, Eden:Adam, Ares, and Excalibur. Avon had one called Weekend (I think) that I suspect mayy be similar to the Issey Miaki Weekend that gegogi liked (I really don't recall the actual name...). I'm not much of a fragrance wearer so my experience is limitied.
I even find I kinda like Old Spice...
These are also scents I would like on ME rather than on women. If you are thinking of doing women's perfume then I'm gonna have to think about it some.

Upon audition the chat "superfood," a cardinal of fruits and vegetables will apparently access your mind. The appellation has consistently been absorbed to the blueberry, for instance. There's additionally the almond, the candied potato, the avocado, kale, spirulina, chlorella, and of course, the "original" superfood, broccoli. While these foods are absolutely nutritious, several lesser-known foods additionally bout (and in some cases, exceed) them in the bloom department. Below are six arresting examples.
6 Amazing Superfoods
Moringa oleifera
Grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, Moringa oleifera (nicknamed "The Miracle Tree") is a timberline whose leaves are arranged with over 90 trace minerals. One confined of adapted moringa leaves will accommodate you with 272 percent of your recommended circadian assimilation (RDI) of vitamin A, 125 percent of your RDI of calcium, 71 percent of your RDI of iron, 61 percent of your RDI of magnesium, 41 percent of your RDI of potassium, and 22 percent of your RDI of vitamin C. Moreover, the approved burning of moringa capsules has been affiliated to appetence suppression, weight loss, bigger affection and digestion, adjustment of claret sugar, and aegis of the abdomen lining.
Popular in Japan, this brewed soybean aliment – best purchased amoebic – is affluent in the admixture pyrazine, a accustomed claret thinner that can anticipate claret clots. Natto is additionally affluent in vitamin K (which helps to advance cartilage body and anticipate osteoporosis), polyamine (which helps to abolish boundless allowed reactions), and selenium (an antioxidant that helps anticipate cancer). Due to its abhorrent aftertaste and cheese-like smell, some individuals adopt to absorb natto in abridged form.
Aronia berries
Often accustomed as the world's healthiest fruit, aronia berries (or "chokeberries") accommodate three times as abounding antioxidants as blueberries, blackberries, and acai berries, and one-and-a-half times as abounding antioxidants as blackcurrants and cranberries. In fact, aronia berries are so densely-packed with antioxidants that they're about absurd to eat raw due to their acute sharpness. Instead, they are aperitive and fabricated into jams and juices.

Kyle writes: What is the best way to eliminate the lingering cigar/pipe taste after a night of smoking? Even when I give a thorough brushing and mouthwash rinse, I find I still wake up with the taste of the cigar or pipe from the night before. Is there something I should be doing immediately after smoking, or is the fact that I don't "enjoy" the lingering taste a sign that maybe smoking is not for me?
Let me begin by saying that if the post-cigar taste in your mouth is truly bad or revolting, it most likely has to do with what or how you are smoking. There are two things to consider here. Firstly, the quality of the cigar does matter, as does its age. If you've ever smoked a really young Cuban (or any cigar for that matter) you'll know the ammonia and bitter flavors you'll get. Unfortunately, these bad flavors will stay on your palate for days after enjoying (or not enjoying) the cigar. Hence I always say quality over quantity when it comes to cigars. Not only will your smoking time be more enjoyable, but so will the hours to follow. To give some context, I recently enjoyed a well-aged Le Hoyo Du Maire (box date 2001), and despite its small size, it gave a nice 30 minute smoke. An hour later, all that remained on the palate was a gentle sweetness and some earthiness — very pleasant. By the next morning, only the slightest hint remained, and what I could still taste was very pleasant. In contrast, I have occasionally had a cheap cigar that left my palate battered and bruised with bitter and strong flavors staying with me for days.
The second thing to consider is how you're smoking. If you're smoking a toro in 40 minutes, you really need to slow down. For cigarette smokers, it can be hard to learn to slow down, but smoke a cigar too fast and you'll unleash all sort of bitter tars and oils which are not pleasant on the palate at that point nor hours later. Next time you smoke, try keeping the cigar as cool as possible, using an ashtray to let the cigar rest between puffs. Not only will you prevent any bitterness, but your mouth will take much less abuse, and therefore recover much quicker.
OK, so you've tried the above, and are smoking quality cigars slow and cool. Chances are any lingering flavors will be enjoyable, but if you need to get rid of them for any reason (a hot date, for instance), there are a few tricks that really do work. But first, the things that don't work: gum and mints just mask the flavors, and as a result you'll smell like minty smoke. Mmm, there's nothing quite like smelling like grandma's menthol cigarettes… Most mouth washes also won't cut it (see exceptions below). I've tried Listerine, Crest, and others, and none have any real effect on the lingering cigar taste. I should add here that some people recommend concoctions containing shampoo, but I refuse to put shampoo in my mouth, particularly when there really are some great solutions, as you'll see now.
Before I get to any artificial remedies, let's start with the natural ones. Chlorophyl is a natural breath cleanser; as such, chewing on some parsley will have very positive effects on your breath as well as on how your mouth feels. Citrus also helps — drinking limeade or other citrusy drinks will help kill any lingering flavors. In general, the keys in killing the taste are time and food. If you're smoking your cigars at night accompanied by booze in plenty, then waking up with pasty cigar mouth is to be expected. However, smoke before dinner, drink lots of water (or other non-alcoholic beverage), and the flavors will diminish and pass very quickly. I find in particular both coffee and whiskey work to kill tobacco flavors. However, the influence and ability of water to carry any residual toxins from your body cannot be understated.
Lastly, if none of the above work, there are some products out there which truly work. The first are mouthwashes targeted at smokers. While Listerineis probably the most famous, I know many cigar smokers have had much better luck with Smart Mouth. In fact, there's a large thread over at Cigar Asylum extolling its virtues, and is in my opinion the best product out there. You can find it on Amazon, or at your nearest drug store. While a common approach is to brush your teeth thoroughly, remember that it is your tongue, cheeks, gums, etc. that contain most of the surface area in your mouth, as such be sure to brush them as well.
In a concise summary,
1) Smoke quality cigars. Smoke them slowly.
2) Eat and drink something afterward.
3) Use some Smart Mouth mouthwash.
All that said, as you smoke more, you'll find you enjoy the lingering flavors more and more, and notice any negatives less and less. And of course, don't forget the easiest way to get rid of stale cigar breath: smoke a new, fresh cigar!

I admit, it took me months to play this game.
Released in September 2018 after a stream of promotional and gameplay trailers, Life Is Strange 2 had me feeling a little underwhelmed.
Earlier this year (regarding the Life Is Strange Prequel) I had wrote that we don't often get to say goodbye in games these days, and that I wished I never had to. I found I was eating my words with this new release.
The dialogue between characters seemed lacking. An adult's stunted attempt at writing a male teenager, and the trailers never inspired much interest. The supernatural power briefly hinted at in the trailer did little to pique my interest, and it's taken until now for me to pick up my pre-order and sit down to play.
I was pleasantly surprised.
While the game does feature a monotonous mini-game and seems to take a while to get anywhere, it more than makes up for it in content. The game does an exceptional job of tying in real world current events.
You play as Sean; a teenager whose biggest problem is how he's going to spend time with the girl he likes. Starting the game off with cringey dialogue between him and his best friend, Lyla, the game series does what it does best and lulls you into a false sense of security.
There is an underlying theme of racism from the beginning, and the game quickly forces you to think about deeper issues when a police officer with a twitchy trigger finger reacts badly to a fight between teenagers. The boy's father is caught by the bullet, and the strength of Daniel's reaction sees his telekinetic powers come into effect. The officer is killed himself and Sean has to react quickly to the disaster and put aside his loss to get his brother to safety.
Sean and Daniel are now on the run and Sean must find a way for them to survive on the road.
Each decision the player makes impacts the game in a small way, meaning that the characters can take a different path later on or be affected immediately by your choices. These can be small things, such as whether or not Daniel falls into mud, or larger personality defining traits later on.
The game is dialogue heavy and the groans that came at the beginning of the game are less as we watch the two boys interact. While the cringe factor is something that had previously added to the appeal of the games (somewhat), you find the conversations between the boys are almost natural. A teenager trying to talk fantasy with his younger brother and keep him happy and safe is of course going to be littered with cheesy lines and more pep than necessary.
It's almost easy to forget that the disaster at the beginning of the game is something that's going to seriously impact the boys. Watching Sean try to create a new world for Daniel and keep him safe as they camp in a nature reserve is an almost pleasant consequence.
But this is Life Is Strange, and nothing stays safe, or calm, for long.
Amidst a confusing altercation which finds Sean locked in the back room of a shop, racism rears its ugly head once more. It seems the real antagonist is racism itself – would any of this have happened had there not been prejudice? Would Sean and Daniel really have had to run?
Luckily, the boys have made a friend on their journey and after working together to free Sean they find themselves really able to relax for the first time. A warm car and a kind stranger means that the pair are able to travel far away from their past. New family member, a puppy named Mushroom that Daniel 'rescued' from the store, is along for the ride.
The stranger's kindness doesn't stop there – he gives each boy a parting gift, pays for a motel room for the night and gives them enough money for a bus ticket. Sean wants to travel to Mexico and visit a town their father dreamed of returning to.
This brief and well-deserved respite, once again, does not last long. The developers have been rather cruel here, having the boys watch TV and dance together (should you choose) before Sean tries to address the issue of their father's death.
But the opportunity is taken from him – Daniel's telekinesis returns when he sees a news bulletin about his father's death. He is devastated, and furious. His brother lied to him and his father is dead.
The game gives one final choice here before closing – do you promise never to lie again?
Your choice may come back to haunt you in the next chapter.

The reverse mortgage is a home equity loan that is designed to help home owners aged 62 or better tap into the equity in their homes. This loan is only available to homeowners who have built up considerable home equity. Proceeds of the loan may be taken in monthly payments, a lump sum, left on a line of credit, or some combination of these methods. Borrowers are not required to make monthly payments on a reverse mortgage as long as they remain in the home. Taxes, insurance, homeowners association dues, and other assessments must be kept current by the home owner, but nothing is due on the reverse mortgage until the last borrower permanently leaves the home.
There are a number of reverse mortgage programs, but the most popular and the one offered through Tidewater Home Funding, is the FHA-backed Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM). The HECM is a non-recourse loan – borrowers will never owe more than the value of the property. A HECM loan may be used on a home owner's existing home or on the purchase of a new home.
No FICO qualification
No debt-to-income ratios - though borrowers must demonstrate a willingness and capacity to pay basic obligations
Provides greater freedom in retirement - you aren't restricted on how you can use the loan proceeds and it is non-taxable income
Non-recourse loan
No debt is assigned to your heirs when the loan becomes due. Instead, the family is given a period of time to pay off the loan or sell the home. In addition, family members/heirs are given the opportunity to buy the property for 95% of the appraised value, even if the house is worth less than the amount owed
A reverse purchase can help a borrower retain their savings, improve their monthly cash flow, and / or finance a purchase that would normally be beyond their budget
It can help seniors relocate to a different region or to move closer to family
It can also help seniors move into a more affordable home that requires less maintenance, or better serves their physical needs by providing features like handrails, wider doors, or a single-story layout
Helps borrowers age in place
Borrowers must be 62 years of age or older
Borrowers must qualify to pay taxes, insurance, or HOA if applicable
You can own your home outright, or have a low balance on your mortgage that can be paid off at closing with proceeds from the reverse loan
The borrower also must have financial resources to pay ongoing property fees
Before obtaining this type of loan, all borrowers and non-borrowing spouses must receive independent counseling
This type of loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). It is part of the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program. There are several types of Reverse Mortgages:
Payment of loan proceeds – The borrower receives the loan money as a line of credit, monthly installments, a combination of both, as a lump sum, or the payment retires an existing mortgage.
Interest Rate – The borrower chooses between a fixed interest rate and an adjustable interest rate. A fixed interest rate is only available with the lump sum payment option.
Purchase – It allows the borrower to purchase a principal residence. It requires less upfront investment than an all-cash purchase.
Refinance – It allows a borrower to convert one HECM loan into another HECM loan, which is usually done to lock in a lower interest rate or to borrow more cash if the home has increased in value.
*Borrower must pay required taxes, insurance, or HOA if applicable.
Fixed rate and variable rate programs are available – the fixed rate loan requires all proceeds to be accessed at inception
Closing costs may be financed, requiring limited up front fees
Amount available to the borrower is based on the age of the youngest borrower, the interest rate on the loan, and the value of the property (up to the maximum FHA lending limit)
Funds available may be limited for the first 12 months after the loan is opened per HECM rules
Property may be a single family home, two to four unit owner-occupied home, FHA-approved condo, or manufactured home

The '90s were the decade of my girlhood. In that 10-year span, I developed a sense of style, ideology, and identity around what it meant to be a woman. The mythology that I built around my gender identity is a true testament to gender as a social construct, but also a nod to the influences that helped me shape what it meant to be a girl. Pretty early on I knew that my girlhood was also wrapped up in the fact that I was Black. It was a part of myself that I learned to take seriously at a very young age. I was armed with Black dolls, books with Black characters, and outings to Black events in a way that was intentional. Naturally, my pop culture idols were often Black women as well. However, there was one who stood out to me more than all of the others. Her name was Melanie Brown, and most of the world called her Scary Spice.
Rihanna might be responsible for making "carefree Black girl" a cool thing to be. But it's only because her rise to fame conveniently ran parallel to the emergence of technologies and social media platforms that enabled a broad sense of community among Black girls who are more comfortable pushing the envelope on respectability. But Scary Spice was my first Black girl pop culture idol. She was who I wanted to be like, and it was because she embodied the kind of individuality and freedom from judgement that draws so many of us to Rihanna today.
Way before wearing our hair natural was the "thing" it is today for Black girls, Scary Spice had already bedazzled two bantu knots atop her head, with the rest of her curls free to fly behind her. She proudly donned all-leopard everything and rocked crop tops and high-heeled shoes that didn't affect her mobility at all. She had a tongue ring. Scary Spice was loud when she didn't need to be — something I would be reprimanded for well into adulthood — and she didn't feel bad about it. Neither did I. As was the theme of the Spice Girls, girl power was her guiding light in life. While many of my other friends were into the polished, Black-girl-next-door offerings of Brandy and Monica — with their smooth love ballads about boys that were meant to be sang from windowsills — the thought of ruling the world on the strength of girl power alone was magical to me.
I have spent most of my life outside of the socially acceptable parameters of Black girlhood, an identity that is already intrinsically marginalized. Where we are told to head toward "the center" — be normal, tame, and demure — I've firmly held my ground. There is something so comforting in the fact that I can look back and point to an example of someone else saying "fuck the rules" in an era where patriarchy and misogyny insist that women like me have somehow lost our way.
This month marks 23 years since, after auditions sealed the deal, the Spice Girls were officially formed. They ushered in a new era of female pop stars, like Britney Spears and Destiny's Child, some of whom I would also idolize in one capacity or another. Since Scary Spice, we have seen the rise and fall of plenty of carefree black girls: in pop culture, in politics, in our social media feeds, and in real life. I'm grateful that my blueprint has always involved big hair and a commitment to what I want — what I really, really want.

UEFA Champions League Group-stage – Season 2017/18
Date: Tuesday, 12th September 2017
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Old Trafford.
Manchester United is hosting Basel at Old Trafford at Old Trafford – one of the easiest fixture for the hosts when it comes to the group stage of UEFA Champions League.
Manchester United
Last year's champions of the inferior UEFA competition are starting their Champions League campaign in the group stage.
Their team seems to be in an excellent shape. It has been greatly improved by the valuable reinforcement such as Lukaku from Everton and Matic from Chelsea. With 4 goals, Lukaku is their top scorer in the Premier League, where Manchester is currently the first-ranked. He started scoring goals basically since the moment he put on the Red Devils' jersey.
A great deal is expected of the Manchester team, as they are the favourites for finishing the group stage at the top of the table.
Basel 1893
They are coming from a loss in Swiss Super League, where they are currently the third-ranked. As last year's champions in Switzerland, they too got the privilege to start the Champions League competition in the group stage. Last year, they failed to pass through the group stage in which their opponents were Arsenal, PSG, and Ludogorets.
Manchester United vs Basel 1893: Head to head
The two met 4 times in total, that is, in two seasons of the Champions League (2002/2003 and 2011/2012). They have one win respectively, and twice their duels ended with a draw. Both of the draws happened at Old Trafford. Each of their encounters saw both teams scoring.
Manchester United vs Basel 1893: Prediction
For a year, no one has been able to defeat the Red Devils at home. We expect of them to easily gain three points from this fixture, while scoring at least three goals.
Manchester United vs Basel 1893: Bet Tips
Total goals by home team over 2.5 @ 1.88 – William Hill
HT / FT – 1/1 @ 1.53 – Bet365.

Mixtape Of The Week: Zuse Bullet
Here's today's exercise in weird geography: Zuse is a rapper from Kingston, Jamaica who currently resides in Atlanta and who takes his name, sort of, from the King of the Greek gods. (I suppose it's also possible that he named himself after the German computer pioneer Konrad Zuse, but this seems less likely.) On his song "Frank White," Zuse raps over a plinky, minimal, fascinating beat from the producer Stroud, who comes from I don't know where. (His name is hard to Google.) It's got some of the same synthetic strut as a lot of recent Atlanta rap, but it's also got a sense of instinctive space and repetition that reminds me of early German electronic music, or Indonesian gamelan. And it's named after Christopher Walken's crime-boss character from Abel Ferrara's King Of New York. Rap music, dude. Bringing the world closer together. More to the point, at least as far as this column is concerned: "Frank White" is a very good song, and it's one of many very good songs on Zuse's debut mixtape Bullet.
Most of that map talk up there is pure footnote fodder, but Zuse's Jamaican background is actually pretty essential to understanding why Bullet is quickly becoming one of my favorite mixtapes of the young year. I don't know how long he's been in the U.S., but Zuse apparently has the ability to snap in and out of impressive fire-and-brimstone patois at will. And it really is a great reggae roar, throaty and wounded and proud, massive and unstoppable. But Zuse is a rapper, not a reggae toaster, and his cadences and emphases are those of an American-style rapper. Most of the time, he's only got a slight accent, but he's happy to launch back into pure patois whenever he needs to add a verbal exclamation point. (He also does that brrr machine-gun-noise ad-lib a lot.) As a rapper, Zuse fits very well into the wild-eyed Southern bruiser archetype, and so when he switches back and forth between that and the bloodclaaat howling, it's like someone found a way to crossbreed Gunplay with Capleton. As you might imagine, that's a hell of a potent combination. Even when Zuse's lyrics look a bit silly on paper ("I'm the garbage man, and you the trash in my bin / I'm the foot in your ass when you think you gon' win"), he sounds absolutely badass. And he's also got a gift for grand, epic silliness, so when, on the tape's intro track, he booms out, "I'm the trees, I'm the wind / I'm the good and the bad / I'm the feeling within," it's a total goosebump moment.
Simply by existing and by using that ridiculous voice, Zuse is a great addition to the already insanely fertile Atlanta rap scene. And since out-and-out weirdness is practically a prerequisite for Atlanta rap stardom, Zuse never feels like he's dumbing himself down when he does standard Atlanta rapper things, like tearing open the tense synthetic seesawing strings that 808 Mafia give him on "Seein' Me." "Mayday" is the one song where he teams up with an already-made Atlanta rap star, Young Thug, and the contrast between Zuse's elemental crazy-bastard growl and Thug's high-pitched elastic cartoon croak is just awesome. If Zuse floated further into the 808 Mafia orbit, he'd still be a standout.
But instead, he comes from Zooly Gvng, a very different crew of weirdos led by the adventurous production duo FKi. FKi have made hits — they did "Make It Rain" for Travis Porter — but their beats are, for the most part, way left of center. They specialize in hazy, barely-there blip-bloop tracks, tracks that might fit the "cloud-rap" header if they weren't so dependent on bright and sharp synth sounds. Once of these days, the UK smart-rave Young Turks/Boiler Room mafia is going to learn about FKi, and things like the icy, off-kilter sonar pings on Zuse's "New New" are going to blow their collective mind. FKi handle much of the production on Bullet, and even the tracks that they don't produce, like Stroud's aforementioned "Frank White" beat, reflect their general aesthetic. These tracks turn out to be an ideal match for Zuse, since all their empty space gives his voice plenty of room to echo and since these ping-ponging tracks combine with his wildly vacillating accent to make the whole thing sound even fresher. Most of the tape feels like something entirely new, something we haven't heard before.
Everything reaches its peak on the single "Red," a hollowed-out track made from gunshots and grunts and one lonely, wobbling keyboard riff. For whatever reason, this track is the one place where Zuse goes absolutely bugshit nuts, never snapping out of his patois voice one in its two minutes and 48 seconds, roaring louder than he does anywhere else. He starts it out wailing, "I don't give a fuck about the feeeeeds" and the initial adrenaline of that moment never subsides. This just an awesome, impactful piece of music, and it sounds like nothing else coming out right now. It's the sort of song that announces the arrival of a major new presence. I don't know if Zuse will make good on that promise, but I do know that it's a song you need to hear immediately.
