Episode SynopsisEdit
It's open house day at Nishihama Junior High School, but Anita King doesn't want to tell her sisters. Anita and Junior finally meet, and Nenene Sumiregawa learns a little more about Anita.
Extended SummaryEdit
Anita wakes up in the middle of the night. She goes downstairs to drink some milk, and on her way back up she knocks over some books. She pauses for a moment, then picks one up and puts it back on the shelf: "Midnight Liberation Zone", by Nenene Sumiregawa.
The next day, at school, Anita comments on a statue outside a school. She complains about how 'he really shouldn't read books and work at the same time'. Hisami Hishiishii educates Anita, explaining that Ninomiya Sontoku is meant to inspire students to learn more. Anita says it looks dangerous, reading and walking at the same time (like her sisters), and Hisami shamefully admits to doing it as well.
Back home, Nenene is pleased with how Maggie Mui and Michelle Cheung respond to her; Michelle immediately prepares breakfast (coffee, on Nenene's demand) and Maggie carries her to the table (after Nenene falls on her and threatens to kiss her).
Anita's teacher announces Parent Day, where families can meet teachers. The school also holds presentation classes for families to watch, and Anita's class will be having language class - specifically, presenting book reports. Anita doesn't want Nenene or her sisters to come to school - Nenene isn't considered family to her and her sisters would be an embarrassment. Hisami's curiousity is piqued, however, and she asks to go to Anita's home, which she allows.
On sight of Hisami Maggie runs; Michelle comes out, dressed in a Chinese cheongsam, and offers many exquisite snacks and a hot bath to Hisami. Hisami asks to meet Nenene, but Michelle says that she's just gone to bed and is under orders not to wake her up; Maggie comments that "it's dangerous to see Sensei now". Michelle is completely enamoured by Hisami's quiet and book-loving personality and nearly adopts her on the spot over Anita when Anita kicks Michelle off and takes Hisami to her (shared) room.
Hisami says that she likes Anita's sisters; Anita says that it's because of their very personalities that make her worry about taking them to school. She also admits to never reading a book she's liked and deciding not to do the report, thinking the exercise pointless.
Later that night, as Hisami says goodbye to Anita and Michelle and Maggie escorts the girl home, Junior reports to Wendy Earheart. He is still unable to find the book nor has he seen "that Papermaster girl", which disappoints Wendy. Wendy explains to Junior why his duties are so important. Junior responds with, "I want a school uniform."
The school library is busy the next day: students are busy looking for books for their reports. Natsume Nishizono bursts in, demanding a copy of "First Love, Now It's Begun!" from Hisami.
Anita wanders upstairs, remembering "The Seventh Grade Course". She bends down to pick up a dropped book and meets Junior again. Junior immediately recognizes Anita as his opponent, but Anita does not, only remembering him from "Let's Meet in Jinbocho".
Nenene meets with Lee Linho. After a brief conversation, Nenene gives him a preliminary plot of her new novel. Lee is excited. Haruhi Nishizono interrupts, carrying a bag full of fan mail (compared to the handful of letters Nenene got), and unwittingly informs Nenene about the Parent Day.
Nenene, Michelle and Maggie retrieve the message from school from Anita's trash bin. Nenene is confused, but Maggie points out a line saying "book reports" and stating that Anita doesn't like books. (Michelle comments that she would've been happy to write Anita's report for her.) Nenene asks why Anita doesn't like books.
Anita and Junior are talking about Toto Books. Junior assumes that Anita likes books, as it's an exclusive shop. Anita says she doesn't, saying that 'it reminds me of things that I don't really want to remember', which confuses Junior and almost causes him to ask about Anita's secret.
Michelle describes Anita's memory of books to Nenene:
"The oldest memory Anita has is about books. Piles and piles of books burning, flaming, cries and a dark figure standing in the midst. To Anita, books are a symbol of fear. She goes about everyday life acting tough, but that's the image etched deep in her mind."
Michelle also reveals that the three of them aren't "real" sisters (blood relations), but adoptive, but they still love Anita as a "real" sister.
Anita comes downstairs with Junior to ask about a book, but Junior disappears. The library is empty now save for Anita and Hisami. Hisami asks Anita if she would like a book; when Anita says no, Hisami protests. Hisami admits that her parents are busy, but she will still read a book and write a report 'to thank books'. She thinks books are good things, as they were the only friends she had before Anita, and thinks Anita could learn to find friends in them.
Anita goes home, repeating the sequence at the start of the episode (drinking milk in the apartment). As she is about to go upstairs, she pauses, then picks up "Midnight Liberation Zone" and reads it as she goes upstairs, much to her sisters' surprise.
On Parent Day, as Natsume extols the work of her visiting sister, Tohru asks Anita if anyone's coming for her. Anita says no, as she didn't tell them, but still wrote a book report. At that moment Michelle, Nenene and Maggie walk in, Michelle loudly calling out to a shocked and embarassed Anita and yelling that Nenene came as well to see her, a surprise to the entire class, as Nenene is a famous writer. Anita is called on to read the first report, to Michelle's applause.
Anita begins to read her report: "My Thoughts on Midnight Liberation Zone", much to the shock of her sisters and Nenene and Hisami's pleasure.
- The other books on the shelf Nenene's novel is on are, from left to right: a title in ancient Chinese, two unidentifiable books, "Nightwatch", "POWER" (subtitle illegible), two titles in either Japanese or Chinese, a book on Zoroastrianism and "LUCK It's Not".
- Tohru appears to remember Anita's fight in the library, but chooses not to say anything. Ironically, when he decides not to, Anita says "weirdo" ("such a freak" in the dub).
- Hanging laundry outside to dry, including underwear, is a common sight in Hong Kong.
- Anita's form is labeled 1-2, "First Grade, Class 2". In Japan grades start over again when the student enters a new school, as education is more standardized around the country. In the United States, junior high students would say they were in seventh, eighth or ninth grade, regardless of which school they were in before; Anita is in the equivalent of seventh grade.
- In the sub, Anita's class is having Japanese class. In the dub, it's English class.
- Junior, seen trying to enter (or leave) the library, and the wrecked library the student sees afterwards is a hint at "Seduced by the Night". Another hint is when Anita is worried about her sisters coming to school.

Ann Clack here with a cute little Sailor Girl from Peddler's Pack! I used the Dotty Edges technique from the most recent newsletter. She is colored with copic markers. The background was made by spraying my copic marker on white paper then spattering it with a slightly darker color. This card was used as a sample in my upcoming copic class! Hope you enjoy this monochromatic card!

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — I visited this AJ's Fine Foods store while in town in mid-November. One of the elements I found most interesting was the giant array of apples.
From Envy to SweeTango to Koru, from Pink Lady to Green Dragon to SweetieCrisp, this produce department had all the apples. I even spotted two recently introduced red-flesh varieties, Lucy Rose and Lucy Glo, that I "met" for the first time at the Fresh Summit expo only a month earlier.
I appreciated that the store gave shoppers a heads-up on what to expect from those items — "Pink inside!" and "Red inside!" on the tags that accompanied them — and did the same for some of the more unusual items like blood oranges, carambola and dragon fruit.
Overall, the produce department had a very memorable look, with huge bouquets decorating the displays that were set up between two long aisles. The adjacent floral department was big and beautiful — something I also noticed at the Fry's Marketplace store I visited that same day.

Hi, this is Radek -- I'm the creator of Tadam. I've been using the Pomodoro technique for years, but I never quite liked any of the tools for doing my pomodoros. You could, of course, use anything, even a simple kitchen timer, but there were always these little design issues that made it annoying for me. For example, I often had this situation that the 25 minute cycle was up, but I was in the middle of doing a small task. What I needed was just a minute or two to finish that little thing, and _then_ take a break. So I would ignore the timer, and 2 minutes later, I would forget I was supposed to take a break. Ugh. I designed Tadam to solve these problems for myself. For example, a few minutes before the time runs out, a gentle notification pops up in the corner to remind me I need to hurry up. And when the time is up, a big window pops up prompting me to take a break. If I need just a few seconds, I can move it to the side, but I won't forget about the break, because it will snap back into place after 30 seconds. At the same time, I didn't want a tool that's super complex, with many features I don't need. Or a big "productivity system", that requires me to be a religious about Pomodoro. All I needed was a simple tool that helps me remember to take breaks, but without being too annoying. Tadam solved it for me. And I hope it helps others, too :)

I don't use Tadam often — because, as most of us, I'm under false impression that I'm smart about managing my time. Of course I will accomplish that thing that I was supposed to do today. But will you? Chances are, you won't. Because we're just not designed to perceive time in a precise manner. Our minds ebb and flow, in and out of productivity. So yeah, I have to get better about that. I think we all, to some extent, could. And boy, there's no better tool than Tadam for this. It's simple, it's fast, and it's effective. It gets out of your way, and then gets in your way exactly when you need to be reminded that time is linear, and you just might use a short break to grasp that. To re-asses. To be mindful. And when you really, deeply realize that, you will feel something new. You will feel empowered. Because awareness of the time, and your decision on what to devote that time to is the closest we can get to being truly free.

I've been using this app for years. It is simple and fairly unobtrusive. The first time you see the "time to take a break" screen can be slightly jarring, but interrupting your work is kind of the point.

|Mold Removal Spray
A mold removal spray can very conveniently be bought from your nearest retail store that sells home products for no more than $3 or $4.
The spray has many reasons to beat the domestic methods of removal.
The first being that ammonia and most home-based products only superficially remove mold. They can be very effective on surfaces such as marble and kitchen sinks.
|Use Air purifiers
Air purifiers are the best option to clean the air in your room. Spores from a mold somewhere else in the house can increase the chances of mold growth under the mattress.
If the air is clean from spores then not only is your mattress safe from mold, you are also safe from diseases.
Furthermore, air purifiers are always a plus because who doesn't love cleaner healthier air.

Wenger on Cavani signing
Arsene Wenger has dismissed any hopes of Edison Cavani or Isco becoming Arsenal players this month.
The Uruguay international was recently omitted from the PSG winter training camp, fueling speculation that the striker could be on his way to north London.
Cavani had been linked with a £50m deal to join Arsenal with some suggesting that Lukas Podolski's loan move to Inter Milan was intended to create room in the squad for the arrival of the former Napoli star.
But despite revealing that Yaya Sanogo may join Podolski out on the loan spells, Arsene Wenger has admitted that he will not be signing any attacking player as a replacement.
Real Madrid's Isco is another man in the rumour mill but the Arsenal boss claims he is unlikely to repeat the mistake of last summer where his attack was supplied with more options while his defense remained weakened.
"No, we are not on the case [on a striker or midfielder]. We have plenty of creative players. We are more short on the defensive side of our game" Wenger said.
Reports currently indicate that Arsene Wenger is coy on making any moves over his transfer targets until the third week of January. The Gunners' boss – who is known for leaving his deals very late – now insists that the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Mathieu Flamini and Mesut Ozil who are returning from injury lay-offs could provide the lift his squad needs.
"I feel [we are getting stronger now]. We could benefit from that [returning players] because these are players who are not overloaded with games. " he added.
"Some of our players have played 26 or 27 games, whereas some have played four or five. These players coming back can give us some impact for the coming months."

Happy New Year, everybody! :D
How's has 2015 been treating you so far? Bad? Good?For me, it has been a super packed one. Not that I'm complaining but 2014 had been a sharp learning curve for me, I was initially planning to come up with a post to sum up 2014 but I had a hard time putting together what I want or can share with all of you. I still can't seem to open up on a personal level here. Ever since I started university, I learnt a lot about branding - especially self-branding, the importance of privacy, and filtering whatever you put online.
On a lighter note, allow me to get back my typing flow again. My writing/blogging skills are super rusty that I crumble inside everytime I start a post. The majority of the time, the post would end up in the drafts collecting 'dust'.
Anyhooooo (anyhow).. Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Shu Uemura's 2014 holiday collection. I was blessed with the opportunity to play around with Shu Uemura's 2014 Holiday Collection. I have been using the palette for the past month and it was my go-to palette for almost every look. You think, you name it.
Shu Uemura Shupette has-it-all eye & lip palette - RM350
|It fits in my palms purr-fectly.
|The first thing that caught my eye when I opened the box was
this soft, furry white pouch with dazzling blue stones as eyes.
|The back of the palette
|This was too cute to ignore. I love you too, Shu Uemura!:)
|There's this cute white paw prints on the protective film and again, too cute to ignore!
In this palette, there are a total of 8 eyeshadows and 6 lip colours. All of the eyeshadows has fine shimmer and the texture is buttery smooth. To be honest, I was expecting dry, dull, shimmer-packed eyeshadows. But boy, I was so wrong. The eyeshadows swatched beautifully and it seems to melt on your eyes making it look bright and youthful. I will let the swatches do the talking.
As for the lip colours, I was also expecting sticky and weak colours as I have experienced it in most palettes and again, I was proven wrong. They were a dream to apply and looked beautiful on the lips without needing to use a lip balm. On to the swatches!
Shu Uemura, you have outdone yourself this time ❤
|Swatches of the left side of the palette.
|Swatches on the left side of the palette
On the left side of the palette, the colours leans more towards cooler tones and dramatic shades for both eyeshadows and lip colours. This side of the palette is meant for night time or for occasion such as parties, etc. My favourite shades has to be the taupe-ish purple base eyeshadow and the pearly black eyeshadow. I was blown away by the pigmentation of the black eyeshadow. You can use it as an eyeliner if you prefer to travel light and it gives a softer look if compared to pen/pencil black eyeliner regardless of any formulas. The lip colours are.. AH-MAZING.
If you love the attention, the pink lip colour is the colour for you. But if you are like me, who loves the dark, smoldery look - the berry red lip colour is our 'thang'. As for the last shade, it's meant for to be used especially if you have a super heavy eye makeup going on. It is best to stick to a nude or near to natural lip colour to even the look/face out. I know cakes are delicious and is the main attraction of a party but you wouldn't want to look like a birthday cake now, do you?
Shu Uemura Shupette eye-need-shu liner - RM75
When it comes to pencil eyeliners, it is really hard to please me. I look for longevity, smudge-proof, sweat-proof, and water-proof in most of my eyeliners. Sounds like a big, pair of shoes to fill in, Shu Uemura's eyeliners seem to almost fit in. The shade of this eyeliner is called Midnight Black, and the shade does live up to its name. It's a gorgeous black eyeliner with an electrifying blue sheen to it when the light hits it. The only thing that gets me is that I find it a little dry to work with. Maybe there's a technique to it that I have not figured it out yet. I will share it with you when I have found a way to make it work for me.
I haven't gotten the chance to create some crazy, statement eye makeup.. So here are some everyday "eye-makeup" I have created from the palette :
|I just love the warm, earthy tones that glows on my eyes! ❤
Shu Uemura Shupette Silk Cushion Cheek in Pink - RM100
|Left : Unblended swatch of Shupette Silk Cushion Cheek
Right : Blended swatch of Shupette Silk Cushion Cheek
How and what did I use to apply this blush? That's a tough question. I tried using my fingers but that didn't work too well. I resorted to getting a cream blush brush from Zoeva (128 Cream Cheek Face Brush) and that.. let's just say I didn't achieve the look I wanted. My skin has been suffering from a major breakout of late and the surface is filled with imperfections. I found that this Silk Cushion Cheek emphasizes the imperfections on my face, hence I wouldn't recommend it if you have an uneven skin surface like me. But however, if you have a flawless skin, this blush would look lovely on you as it doesn't leave a flat, matte or powdery finish. Glow, girl, glow!
I don't get easily excited about a holiday collection or any makeup collection because I just can't seem to keep up with it. The only exceptions are, the MAC Cosmetics Archie Collection, Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Collection and now, Shu Uemura's Shupette Shu Uemura x Karl Lagerfeld Collection. If you are a cat lover and a makeup lover, this holiday collection is a must have. I kid you not. I regretted not taking back the Shupette life-size cardboards :(
If you were to ask me which of these items I would recommend, it would be the Shupette Has-It-All Eye & Lip palette. I know it is pricey at RM350 but I'll leave it to you to do the calculation. If you only want certain colours of the eyeshadows or lip colours, you can get their Shupette Eye-Need-Shu Trio or Shupette Rouge Bonbon Fantasy Trio. Both of them are priced at RM120 each and it's available in 2 colours.
As for the Shupette Eye-Need-Shu Liner, it's priced at RM75 each and it's available in 2 colours : Midnight Black and Gala Brown. Do you need this? Yes, if you have ran out of eyeliners or you simply just love cats. You can't ignore those cute, printed paws on the eyeliner. Last but not least, the Shupette Silk Cushion Cheek priced at RM100 each and it's available in 2 shades : Orange and Pink. Do you need it? Yes, if you don't have a blusher or if you have flawless skin or if you want to achieve that Korean/Japanese glowy skin.
Here are the price list for Shu Uemura's Shupette 2014 Hoilday Collection :
- Shupette Has-It-All Eye & Lip Palette - RM350
- Shupette Eye-Need-Shu Trio - RM120
- Shupette Rouge Bonbon Fantasy Trio - RM120
- Shupette Eye-Need-Shu Liner - RM75

EVANSTON, Illinois – Northwestern University researcher Adam Jakus was working on 3-D printable ink for organs when it spilled. He went to clean up and the biomaterial peeled off in a thin sheet.
"I knew I was onto something here and I realized we could do this with all tissues and organs."
Using leftover parts from a local butcher's shop, Jakus and professor Ramille Shah began testing a special mixture.
They removed the animal cells from specific organs, like livers and hearts, dehydrated the organs to form powder then used liquid to cast into sheets which literally becomes "tissue paper".
"And over time, the ultimate goal is to have that material completely replaced by natural tissue," explained Northwestern University professor Ramille Shah.
For example, a cardiac surgeon using the cardiac tissue paper would cut a patch to fit the damaged area, so it needed to be doctor-friendly.
"They have to like the way it feels and it has to kind of fit in with their general routine of surgical procedures."
Muscles torn during battle, open wounds, or damaged organs: these could all be healed with the help of paper-thin material.
Think origami for organs.
Origami is the traditional Japanese art form of folding paper. The researchers' goal was to make the paper easy for doctors to apply.
"And in most cases a surgeon won't form an origami bird and implant that," said Adam Jakus, chief technology officer for the company created by the Northwestern researchers, Dimension INX. "But the ability to show that we can create something as complex as an origami bird means that we can definitely create the folds necessary for a surgeon to implement it surgically."
Cutting-edge medicine that may give surgeons maximum flexibility.
MUSCLES AND INJURY: Muscle heals very differently than bone. If you fracture a bone, it will heal thoroughly as long as it is set and fixed in place properly. It may even become stronger than it was before the injury. Muscles, however, do not actually heal with muscle tissue but with foreign substances including collagen. The resulting scar tissue is weaker, less elastic, and prone to re-injury and once a muscle is damaged it can become the source of a great deal of pain. Sprains and strains are a cause of impairment and pain, but are often also poorly diagnosed and inadequately managed. The standard medical response to muscular injuries is mostly pain killers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and rest. Medication does little more than numb the pain signals and suppress inflammation, and these are symptoms being treated instead of the injury itself.
(Source: https://bodyinbalance.com/856/muscular-injury-pain-muscle-healing/)
The researchers say they are about three to five years away from developing tissue papers that could be used in humans for muscle repair and regeneration. Paper for use in organs, like ovaries, would be closer to a decade away.
Researchers say the timeline primarily depends on funding.

Some of you may know that my patron goddess is the Cailleach and has been for many years, however in the last few years she has given me a different deity to work with over the spring and summer months (her being a winter deity of course). I have had some interesting deities to work with such as Merlin, Morgan le Fay, Ganesha, Papa Legba and last year was the Lady of Avalon.
This year I was very surprised to be given Brighid to work with, not a deity I have ever had much contact with before and to be honest not one I ever thought I would...but I am game for most things so it should be an interesting journey...
So my altar is set up in honour of Brighid and we will see where she takes me. Interesting that I am off to Glastonbury in a couple of weeks ... a kind of 'home' to Brighid.
The next few weeks will be filled with meditations and activites that honour and connect me with Brighid to see what she has to teach me and how she wants to guide me. She is linked with healing, re-birth, creativity and inspiration which all sounds pretty good to me I can always use lots of those in abundance.
Love this pathway that keeps taking me on intiguing twists and turns :-)

Nature isn't the only thing going green for spring—there's something about the season of growth and renewal that has us hankering for salad. To grow healthier and stronger for the warmer months, it's important to include plenty of veggies—and what better way to sneak in extra greens than with a delicious salad?

Between all of these crisp greens, savory slaws, fresh fruits and lovely legumes, your favorite sandwich should be very nervous.

Knowing How To Pick A Good Web Host
Anyone who is interesting in starting a website has to be concerned with web hosting. However, there are many things that people don't know about web hosting. They don't know what it is or how to choose a host. Here are some great tips about web hosting so you can make smart decisions about your website.
If you are hosting your site with a Linux based site, be sure the company you choose updates their information regularly, and at all levels. You don't want your page to crash or be insecure because your host is not properly maintaining their servers and networks, so look for those that do.
You can almost always save money on your web hosting by paying in advance. Discounts for multi-month and yearly packages are common. However, you don't want to lock in with an unreliable host. Try out a new host for a month or two before you lock in a long-term commitment, and check out the cancellation and refund policy beforehand.
If you end up finding certain parts of your web hosting services to be unfavorable, keep researching for other host sites. Should you need to switch providers, you don't want to start researching companies all over again while you're offline.
Do not be deterred from using a web hosting service that employs customer service agents in a foreign country. Though it may be difficult to understand various accents at times, realize that many countries spend extraordinary amounts of time and energy in making their citizens technologically superior. This is particularly true of India, which is why many companies employ educated technology services overseas.
If money is tight or your website has not begun to profit yet, you can always go with a free hosting site. samsung galaxy j36v battery While they may not be the most ideal web hosts, and may not offer the amount of options you would like, free hosts are a good place to start when starting up a new website.
If you will be using more than one domain name or run more than one website, it's important to select a web host that allows add-on domains. You can find hosts that allow you to have up to 20 different websites on one account for free which should allow you plenty of options.
When selecting a web host, look for a company that offers you detailed site statistics and traffic information to your website. Put a counter on your site, and make sure it matches your web host's numbers. This type of data allows business owners such as yourself to fine-tune a site to suit the target audience.
Take a look at a host's job section in order to determine if they're currently hiring. If they are, then it is likely that their company is growing. Therefore, this host should be a safe pick. If they aren't hiring, then they are probably really struggling. As a result, you should probably avoid them.
Now that you've learned a bit about web hosting, take the information in this article and use it when you are choosing a host or hosting a site yourself. The right web host can make or break the success of your site, so learn as much as you possibly can about hosting and you'll be happy you did.…

Raul Cocias [AM] Benefits of What If Depreciation Functionality
PeopleSoft Asset Management provides you with the ability to perform what if depreciation simulation modeling and to load the net book value results into a spreadsheet program for analysis
Another useful benefit of the What If Depreciation feature is to project the depreciation if you add an asset and run the actual depreciation program. For example, you can create an asset and run the What If Depreciation program rather than running the actual depreciation program. You can then see what the depreciation amount for the asset would be, go back and modify the depreciation parameters accordingly, and then perform the actual depreciation.
The What If Depreciation page uses the AM_DEPR_COMP application engine program to run simulated depreciation instead of the actual depreciation program (AM_DEPR_CALC).Path: Asset Management, Depreciation, What If Scenarios, Request, What If Depreciation

Dear Hip-Hop: we're breaking up. And it's definitely Drake's fault.
16/11/2015 § 1 Comment
image via.
**Disclaimer: I'm about to liberally exercise the f-word and talk about sex, which is somewhat out of character for me on here. If that's not your thing, I would encourage you to skip to my next post. No hard feelings.**
Dear Hip-Hop,
What's good? I admit it's been a bit since we've spent quality time together, and I'm sorry about that. There's just so much music out there and TBH, I've been feeling like maybe we've drifted apart recently. And that maybe (PROBABLY) this time its for good.
How did we get to this point? This new song by Drake, honestly. You know, "Hotline Bling?"
Yeah, I'm not sure why his phone blings instead of rings either, but that's not my main concern here. Neither are the old man dance moves. First, I want to ask for a bit of clarification as to what Drake is actually upset about in the song.
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I left the city,
You got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
'Cause ever since I left the city,
you started wearing less and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before
Ok, there's a lot here I want to unpack, but first, is Drake essentially upset because a girl he used to only talk to in the middle of the night — only talk to in order to coordinate sex, mind you, (only mean "one thing") — is now out on the prowl herself? Okay. Okay, great. So, it's totally okay for him to only talk to her for sex (in a purely transactional matter), but it's not okay for her to go out and get in the mix on her own. And its especially not okay for her to hang out with girls he's unfamiliar with. Have I got that straight?
These days, all I do is
Wonder if you bendin' over backwards for someone else
Wonder if you're rollin' up a backwoods for someone else
Doing things I taught you, gettin' nasty for someone else
You don't need no one else
You don't need nobody else, no
Why you never alone
Why you always touching road
Used to always stay at home, be a good girl
You was in a zone, yeah
You should just be yourself
Right now, you're someone else
And this person she's "become" – it's not really herself, because if she was being herself, she would sit at home and wait for Drake to return to town and then be available only to him, right? Wait, sorry — only available to him in the middle of the night. Because that's what good girls do?
Ok, glad that's clear. My next question is, where does a barney like Drake, who looks like the guy who would offer to do your Algebra 2 homework JUST to get your phone number, exactly get off? I'm supposed to believe he has so much swag he's owed this girl's sexual freedom? Or even receive a vote on how she should live her life? GTFOH. For real.
Hip-hop, this is why we are breaking up. You used to be exciting. You used to be soulful. You used to be angry. Now, you're just….Drake-ified. And the sexist tropes you continue to trot out make it really hard to even casually listen to you.
It's because your words have power, even if the mouthpieces are whack as hell. Hip-hop, think of all the people listening to you on the subway, in the car, at home. Think of a generation of men repeating over and over to themselves that a girl isn't a good girl unless she stays home and waits to service me sexually, on my terms. Think of a generation of women, singing along, quasi-endorsing that this is an okay way for men to think about their sexuality. Because when you say things, either out loud or in your mind, they affect you — your thoughts, your mood, your state of well being. It's not a blatant indoctrination, but it just keeps creeping in and I really think it's affecting the way that we relate to each other, as human beings.
Now, I hear your protestations, hip-hop. Drake isn't all that bad! He was on Degrassi Jr High! He had a cute Bar Mitzvah video! And his song isn't that sexist! Maybe he also realizes he is really REALLY lame and maybe there was more to the relationship than we are hearing in the song!
Okay, well, as a bookend, let's take the other hip-hop/r&b artist in the top 5 this week on the Billboard Hot 100: The Weeknd, and his song The Hills.
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'll be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only fuck you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe
I'mma let you know and keep it simple
Tryna keep it up don't seem so simple
I just fucked two bitches 'fore I saw you
And you gon' have to do it at my tempo
Always tryna send me off to rehab
Drugs started feelin' like it's decaf
I'm just tryna live life for the moment
And all these motherfuckers want a relapse
Full confession: yes hip-hop, I love the music the Weeknd makes — THE MUSIC. It's dramatic and interesting and it makes me feel like I either want to punch someone in the face or rip all their clothes off. I fully appreciate the novel quality of his art. It really does makes me feel something.
But these lyrics? I can't. I've seen concert footage of Abel (The Weeknd's government name) leading hundreds of people screaming about how they will only be calling at 5:30am, and it makes me sad. It makes me sad to think about people walking around humming the hook — which is catchy as hell, I admit — and what that might be doing to the way they feel about their relationships. And I'm a reasonably confident, self-assured adult — can you imagine what these words are doing to younger, more malleable minds? Are you surprised there are sexting rings in high schools? You shouldn't be. You're only supposed to touch me, not feel me.
But wait, I hear you complaining hip-hop: isn't this what the modern age of relationships is? Isn't it actually so evolved of us to liberate sex from commitment and empower everyone to do whatever we want and hook up with people at all hours of the night? Sorry, I'm really skeptical. While it's a modern notion to treat sex and relationships more casually, I'd argue it's probably less evolved. A lot of people are unhappy, unsure and lonely — even if they are having A LOT of sex. We haven't figured out how to feel about these arrangements — much less how to feel GOOD about them, and so we get songs from Drake about being upset some girl isn't willing to exclusively give him…casual sex? What?
Hip-hop, I am tired of you using sex as a commodity. A commodity that men own and women spitefully keep from them. A commodity that men are owed and should receive whenever they decide they want it, however they want it. A commodity that when spent by women is magically transformed into something slutty. How are we supposed to teach our little girls to feel good about sex — when sex is the safest and most accessible it's ever been in human history — when Future is writing bars like "I just fucked your bitch in some Gucci flip flops"? (Side note: Which is a 10-word masterpiece of materialistic, emasculating, slut-shaming misogyny, when you think about it.) (Side note to the side note: Future, do you need a hug?) The point is, if we keep treating sex like it's nothing, how equipped are we to handle it when it is something?
You've let me down, hip-hop. You've grown fat and lazy and you make me feel rotten. Where are your songs about actually connecting with someone? About love? About respect? About ANYTHING remotely happy? Why, hip-hop, have you allowed yourself to become so one-dimensional? And where the hell did Common go? And while the circumstances I just described aren't entirely your fault, hip-hop, this is a boundary I can easily draw for myself.
So, it is with regret (?) that I inform you that we are breaking up, hip-hop. It's not me, it's you.
Well, it's you and Drake.
Sounds of Summer: Cayucas
17/08/2013 § 1 Comment
Sounding a bit like Beck, The Beach Boys and Vampire Weekend had a baby,* Bigfoot, the most recent album by Santa Monica-based band Cayucas (formerly Oregon Bike Trails) is a sparkling bit of sunshine and has been a perfect August soundtrack. I highly recommend giving it a listen, and if you're in the New York area, you can catch them at the Knitting Factory on Aug 28!
*Don't ask me how, I'm not a scientist.
Sounds of Summer: Rhye
15/06/2013 § Leave a comment
I'm a fool for that shake in your thighs
I'm a fool for that sound in your sighs
I'm a fool for your belly
I'm a fool for you love
I wanna make this plain
Oh, I know your faded
Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes
I wanna make this plain
Oh, I know your faded
Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes
I'll admit that Rhye had me going from the opening notes of "Open," the song you see excerpted above, but when I got down deeper into the honesty of the lyrics and the simplicity of the soul music this Canadian and Danish duo who are currently based in LA. For me, Rhye takes the best parts of R&B and soul, mixes it with a bit of down-tempo house and creates a sound that at once reminds me of the West Coast, but also something a bit more cinematic. It's on heavy rotation lately, and if you have Spotify, give it a try via the player below or this link.
What are you listening to lately? Would love your recommendations!
Girlcrush || Solange in South Africa
13/12/2012 § 1 Comment
When it comes to the Knowles sisters, it shouldn't surprise you that I've been a fan of big sister Beyoncé from the very start. You just knew that those other – and oft rotated – Destiny's Children weren't long for this world, that B was itching for her Diana Ross moment in the spotlight. Now, I definitely love me some divas, but you have to admit that there's something sort of conventional (and maybe even a bit boring) about the establishment: big hair, red carpet beauty, belted ballads, an affinity for sparkles, etc.
Which is why I think Solange, the younger Knowles, is so much more interesting. A frequent experimenter with her own personal style and something of a slowly burning girlcrush, Solange has officially evolved into the Knowles sister I'd much rather hang with. She pretty much sealed the deal with her video for "Losing You," which was brought to my attention by a good friend who noted that Solange appeared to be channeling me. Shot in Cape Town, featuring some very dandy Sapeurs (an interesting group of men I mentioned awhile back), as well as a wardrobe that you know I fell in love with immediately, the synth-y groove of the song is almost like an added bonus. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Throwback Thursday || Autumn in New York
11/10/2012 § 1 Comment
Holy smokes! Where've ya been, kid?
Guilty as charged! I've definitely been quiet this week, and I've got to chalk it up to autumn in New York, which is quietly unfurling its beautiful self with cool evenings, hot toddys, falling leaves and flannel bathrobes. I've slipped down a few rabbit holes these last few days, of the cultural, literary, culinary, musical, and cinematic kind, which I am looking forward to sharing with you very soon. But today, I am forced to beg your forgiveness for being a wayward parent as of late. I'm hoping a gorgeous rendition of Autumn in New York by Sarah Vaughn might help me win you back…
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel
I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
May sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Throwback Thursday || American Girl
20/09/2012 § Leave a comment
Little known fact: I went through a serious Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers phase when I was about 13. For some reason, I've spent much of the week revisiting some of their older stuff, with this song making a repeat appearance. It's a song that inspires a delicious sort of restless energy. Immediately makes you want to dance and is perfection on a road trip. Drop the windows and turn it to 11 — you'll see. The fact that it was written in and inspired by the San Fernando Valley – no, all that University of Florida stuff is an urban legend – the place where I spent my formative years, is the perfect icing for my nostalgia cake.
I'd also like to award honorable mentions for other a few other Americans, namely Tunes (so beautiful!), Women, Boys, Idiots, and Pie.
Quite Continental Mix II
18/07/2012 § 5 Comments
- Francoise Hardy — Le temps de l'amour
- DJ Cam & Anggun — Un Eté à Paris
- Serge Gainsbourg — Cha cha cha du loup
- Nina Simone — Feeling Good
- Gotan Project & Thelonius Monk — Round About Midnight
- Charles Aznavour — Je M'voyais Déjà
- Bitter: Sweet — Dirty Laundry

- Nina Simone — Lilac Wine
- Stan Getz, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto — Corcovado
- Billie Holiday — Speak Low (Bent remix)
- Sammy Davis Jr. — The Lady is a Tramp
A mix that is a little French, a little jazzy and features more than a few of my favorite divas (Dame Shirley Bassey! Nina!). This time around, I wanted to hear the old with the new, so along with the classics, you will notice a few remixes by Gotan Project and Verve, and a few new songs, a few selections by Stéphane Pompougnac (sidenote: did you hear the rumor about Hôtel Costes settling into Tribeca? Yes please!) — but nothing too dancey. Perfect for a sultry summer evening. Enjoy.
You may have also noticed this is my first Spotify playlist, which you can access via the embedded player above, or this link. Let me know if you have any problems with either, yes? And, you can find Mix I here.
*Updated: I also created an abbreviated version of this playlist on 8tracks.com if you don't/can't use Spotify. I wasn't aware Spotify is unavailable outside of the US! Find it here.*

For my first-ever playlist, you get jazzy songs for a smoky midtown bar, or for shoes-off slowdances on the rug after the dinner party's all gone home. It's a little heavy on the strings and Dinah Washington, but I didn't mind that all too much — so I hope you don't either. Click play to enjoy!
Experimenting this evening with 8tracks, which I found via the Rugby Style Blog. The songs may not play in the exact order above, but they're all in there.

Ben Carroll ~ A Change Is Gonna Come
26/04/2012 § 7 Comments
Allow me to toot the family horn a bit…
Ben Carroll is an amazing singer and songwriter. He also happens to be my cousin. Ben's currently hard at work on a soon-to-be-released third album, but he recently took some time out to make this clip of one of my most favorite songs, Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come." When we were all kids, my siblings and I used to force Ben to sing to us — totally understandable, once you've heard his voice. Enjoy.

And if you happen to be in LA, Ben has a show on May 4 at WitZend in Venice.

Why is he/she your favorite? What song/s do you think best reflect why you love their music? It doesn't matter what genre.
I just love her soft singing. Like how her first cd was piano drive then Aventine (2nd cd) had piano with more dominate string instruments and 3rd one Citizen Of Glass is popish mixed with piano and strings. Piano and strings is still prominent in some songs. Her writing and producing that she does by herself a lot is so incredible! Her lyrics are so strong. She is like poet who writes in such interesting way. Like her concepts like for example Citizen Of Glass is using Glass reflect fragility, transparency and letting in light with some dark themes. She is just so incredibly talented.
Shania Twain is my other favorite ❤
Ive absolutely LOVED Shania for as long as I can remember. I love her voice, I love her music, I love her style; she was so groundbreaking and forever changed the landscape of country music for everybody. Her songs (especially from Come on Over and Up!) are so lighthearted and fun, and theres really nobody else like her.
Thanks for starting this thread!
This music has been my abiding passion - and the female singers, in particular, have that gift of seizing the emotions and touching the heart. There've been so many favourites that it seems invidious to pick one (the music is like a tapestry that so many contribute to, with changing moods and textures!). But these three stand out for me, in a particularly special way.
Over the long term, it's been Emmylou who's had such a big influence on my feelings, through my life - the heartbreak of "Boulder to Birmingham", the tender passion of "Together Again", the energy of "Luxury Liner", to name just a few. Her first two bands, the Hot Band, and the Nash Ramblers, gave such memorable performances - "Live, at the Ryman", is a fantastic album, and "Walls of Time" is a song that could well be played to send me to rest, when my time comes!
And I admire the fact that, when radio and the award shows seemed to tire of her, she had the courage and creativity to reinvent her sound, and came out with some of her best work,such as "Wrecking Ball" and "Deeper Well"
Of the contemporary artists of today, it's Miranda who holds a very special place for me. Her emotional insight is something that stands out from the very beginning. I have her rare 2001 album, "Miranda Lambert", and it was already evident that she had a special talent for expressing feelings - for example, in lines like these, solo written in her teens:
"Lately I've seen your leaving in your eyes
So nothing you can say will come as a surprise
I'll tell my heart that it didn't cause it to break
And I'll tell my life that I'm the one who made the mistake
And I'll tell my eyes they don't need to cry one tear
Go on, and leave my lying here"
Much of her work reflects her Outlaw Country Rock influences, but it's her slower numbers that especially touch me - her voice is so good at combining a fragile vulnerability with a realism and understanding that accepts life for what it brings. And in the remarkable "The Weight of These Wings", a treasure trove of changing moods, she reminded me of what Emmylou achieved with "Wrecking Ball".
Finally, among the many artists who are deservedly breaking through more recently, I'll give a special mention to Courtney Marie Andrews - an artist whose voice and powerful presence can make any room a major stage. If you don't know her, this is the title track of her current album:
I like a number of singers, but my favorite is Garth Brooks. I've loved his music since I was a little kid. He just puts so much energy, passion and emotion into his songs. I have every album he's ever released. In addition, he is an amazing showman. I saw him at Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas in 1993 and he just blew me away. I guarantee you, today's country acts owe him a lot of credit for what he's done. Before Garth, most country acts just stood in front of the mic and sang. But he mixed the theatrics of a rock concert with the raw emotion of country and the result was country's biggest growth in audience, record sales and more.
As for more traditonal acts, my favorite is George Strait. He is a living legend who never changed his style, scoring hit after hit over a 30-plus year career. His 2006 Hall of Fame induction was well deserved, and he still scored hits after that. He may have stopped touring five years ago, but I listened to his new album on YouTube recently, and the King still has it.
ELVIS. Bar none. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gyvTV5OJ5E Seen both lives & Carrie & King only two artist to constantly give me chills!

Revive Property Services is delighted to announce we have become FIRAS-accredited for the installation of timber and composite fire doors.
The FIRAS Installer Certification Scheme is a voluntary, third-party certification for installation contractors of fire protection systems.
Since it was initiated in 1994, FIRAS certification has been instrumental in improving the standards and safety of fire protection products and systems.
The FIRAS assessment process
We have to admit, the assessment process to become FIRAS certified was detailed, comprehensive and was certainly no 'walk in the park'. To be awarded with the certification, the Revive Property Service's team had to undergo a three-stage assessment.
The first stage in achieving this highly acclaimed accreditation involved a full audit being carried out on our processes and how we document and record all product information and installation in relation to fire improvement works. The second stage involved several audits being made on site, to inspect our installations. The final stage of this comprehensive accreditation assessment involved the completion of written test papers.
Having satisfied all the required certification criteria, Revive Property Services was granted FIRAS accreditation.
Our commitment to prioritising safety and being fully compliant with building safety standards
Dedicating time and effort into becoming certified in what is, essentially, a voluntary, third-party accreditation, shows Revive Property Services' commitment to constantly improving our services, offering more to our customers and always remaining fully compliant and up-to-date with the latest building standards and regulations.
In November last year, Revive earned the highly-esteemed National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation (NICEIC) accreditation, meaning, coupled with our Gas Safe licence and several other compliance accreditations, we can complete all aspects of building and refurbishment.
Fire improvement work
Having successfully completed FIRAS assessment, the Revive Property Services' team is now equipped with the technical and practical knowledge and experience for ensuring doors are fitted for sufficient fire protection.
Now we are FIRAS-accredited for the installation of timber and composite fire doors, we are hoping to generate sufficient fire door work to eventually be able to offer additional fire improvement work into our services.
If you are looking for reliable contractor to install high quality timber or composite doors at a residential or commercial property in the North West, with peace of mind your chosen installers are fully compliant and certified with the latest standards and procedures in fire safety, then look no further than Revive Property Services.
Or perhaps you're a building company, a landlord or a social housing organisation in Liverpool, Manchester, the North West or even further afield, looking for a professional, reliable, FIRAS-certified contractor to take care of fire door installation work or other fire improvement jobs, then Revive Property Services can provide you with high-quality, efficient and professional fire improvement tasks carried out by our FIRAS-approved installers.
Get in touch with our FIRAS-accredited team to discuss your fire improvement requirements and how we will deliver high-quality fire improvement work on time and to your specified budget.

Shared Responsibility
GGA places a heavy emphasis on security, so teaming up with Azure was a no-brainer. Azure offers 3 tiers of protection: Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS) and Software as a service (SaaS). The emPower Digital Boardroom Platform is SaaS that sits on Azure's PaaS, similar to Office 365.
The best offense is a great defense. By creating a layered approach to cloud security, both in physical data centers and across services, Azure can slow down a cyber-attack. If one layer is breached, there is a back-up in place to prevent further exposure. This approach further protects GGA clients from having their information accessed from unauthorized sources.

After 1964, Tokyo will celebrate the sports festival at 2020. Tokyo is the first Asian city to hold its Olympic role for the second time. The economic value of the Olympics is around three trillion yen. Tokyo wanted to organize the Olympics to represent themselves to the world after the 2011 earthquake.
It is worth mentioning, Japan organized the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964 to give their own resurrection after World War II defeat.
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics:
Tokyo has already built many venues to showcase its capabilities. Japan's planners are designing venues in such a way, that 85 percent of the events of the Olympic Village can be organized within eight kilometers.
The 1964 Japan National Stadium will now be used as the main venue for the Olympics. But to make the stadium more attractive, it will be shaped like a flying saucer. The capacity of the stadium is 80 thousand.
According to the Tokyo government, the Olympic Games will create around half trillions of yen in their tourism industry. It will come from the sale of housing and Olympic goods.
With the investment of private sector, it can exceed three trillion. In addition, half a million new jobs will be created.
Today, we will explore the biggest surprise of 8K technology in the Olympics.
2020 Olympics will be broadcast live Television. You will see full HD quality video. Here's the hybrid broadcast system. You can also comment and Tweet, which can be seen on the screen. You can also see the score and detailed information clearly on the screen.
32-megapixel cameras will be used. And the camera is a lot more sensitive. It's 16 times sharper than an ordinary camera. The camera used to broadcast live in the first ever Tokyo Olympics in 1964, with the full-color video.
Sound Receiver:
And these are microphones that can record very good sound quality. The camera can zoom images by listening to the source of the sound. This Camera understands when and where to zoom automatically.It seems that the cameraman will get relief to hear that news.
You can watch live English subtitles in case if you don't understand the Japanese language. Japanese are being careful about Language problem earlier.

SINN Féin MLA Caoimhe Archibald has urged students to be vigilant after the HMRC issued a warning that students were being targeted by scammers.
Thousands of students have received fake correspondence from HMRC claiming they are owed a refund and asking for their banking details.
The party's further and higher education spokesperson said:
"Reports that emails purporting to be from the HMRC in regards to tax refunds are being sent to students in an attempt to elicit the personal details which would have given them access to their computer/banking details is shocking.
"The HMRC has subsequently confirmed that they had issued no such emails and advised those targeted to contact the police in case any of their personal details had already compromised.
"Attempted telephone and online scams are an ongoing and increasing problem, with the scammers always attempting to devise more sophisticated and plausible ways to try and secure your personal computing and online banking details.
"I would urge people to be constantly vigilant and to make sure to warn elderly family members in particular to the wide variety of attempted cold call scams that are going on," added the east Derry MLA.

Vatican Philatelic and Numismatic Office
On 11 February 2013 the Holy Father announced His decision to renounce the Petrine ministry as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours CET; from that time onwards the Apostolic See is vacant. The Catholic Church has initiated a series of procedures aimed at guaranteeing the continuance of ordinary administration, on the one hand, and the calling of the Conclave on the other, in which the Cardinals will elect the new Supreme Pontiff. In this time, ordinary government is ensured by the Apostolic Camera, chaired by the Cardinal Camerlingo of the Holy Roman Church, and consisting of the Vice-Camerlingo and the Cleric Prelates of the Camera. The issue of Vacant Papal See stamps is intended to commemorate the event and ensure the continuity of the issue of postal stamps, to be used to send correspondence from Vatican City only during the period of the Vacant Papal See itself.
- The stamp series, composed of 4 values, has been created by the artist Daniela Longo.

Thanks in advance for your reply and I hope you have had a good Easter.

The RD Q+A series addresses real world questions from real world race directors and event organizers. These are questions that we think are worth sharing.
What is the best way to set up online race registration for next year?
I'll assume that you mean, "Since you're always talking about making my life easier, how can I set up online registration for next year without having to repeat all the work I did last year?"
This is one of my favorite questions. Partly because I love things that make life easier, and partly because the answer is: you have options.
And depending on your needs, picking the right option can save you from a big headache down the road. Here they are:
Copy last year's event (most popular option)
Update the event (second most popular option)
Create a new event from scratch (You don't want to do this. We don't want you to do this. Don't do this.)
What are the differences?
Copying an event does exactly what it sounds like. It makes an exact copy of your existing online race registration setup.
The benefit to this method is that you can edit that new copy to your heart's content while keeping the previous setup exactly as it was.
Because each copy is its own independent event, this gives you more flexibility than any other option.
Updating (aka upgrading) your event setup keeps all of your event information for all years under one single event.
The biggest benefits you'll see with this are that it helps keep your dashboard uncluttered, and it gives you slightly better year-over-year reporting. On the flip side, you won't be able to see the event setup from previous years. Once you change it for the current year, you've changed it for all previous years. For good. No undos. You also won't be able to use multi-event discount codes with previous years in the same event.
If you do this, you are starting with a totally blank slate. You'll be able to see the setup for previous years, but you will have to manually re-enter all of your online registration settings.
Don't do this unless you a) just really like doing things the hard way or b) are setting up an entirely different event and every single piece of information is different.
Though the copy/update debate is slightly less emotionally charged than say, the Ford/Chevy or Ohio/Michigan debate, it's worth knowing your options before you set up registration for next year.
