Environmental Psychologist
Environmental psychologists study the relationship between the physical environment and human behaviour. They focus on both natural and constructed environments on a scale ranging from individual homes and offices to entire urban areas and geographic regions. Their research looks at issues of attention and how people notice and perceive their environment, why people prefer different environments, and how people cope with environmental stress. Environmental psychologists play an active role in examining human behaviours that have caused environmental problems such as global warming and resource depletion, as well as in initiating the necessary substantial changes to human lifestyles to achieve a sustainable future.
At a glanceImagine you are sitting in your office poring over journal articles about factors that influence the kinds of decisions people make when choosing where to live. You are an environmental psychologist and you have just been hired by the City to research how environmental considerations make some neighbourhoods more attractive to homebuyers than others. The City is starting to put together a long-range plan to combat urban sprawl: one of its solutions is to increase density in inner-city communities. These communities are being redeveloped, and city planners want to make certain they will attract buyers while still following the higher-density strategy. They have asked you to evaluate different approaches to community development that will satisfy buyers' concerns with respect to their urban environment and turn these inner-city communities into sought-after real estate. As an environmental psychologist, you specialize in studying how the physical environment affects people and how people affect their environment. For this project, you want to know how the physical environment of these inner-city neighbourhoods can be made more attractive to homebuyers. You start by conducting a thorough review of all published literature relating to the subject. Issues of urban sprawl and inner-city revitalization are common in major cities, so a number of studies have already been conducted. You also want to gather opinions from city residents, so you design your own study whereby several groups of homebuyers are surveyed as to the factors influencing their choice toward or away from inner-city neighbourhoods. For example, higher-density housing in inner-city neighbourhoods often calls for condo complexes, townhouses, and detached homes with smaller lots, all of which give homeowners very little lawn or outdoor space. You want to know if buyers are more interested in living in a community where lawns are smaller if the neighbourhood has lots of parks and open green space. Buyers might also be more interested in inner-city communities when they consider the environmental cost of commuting from the suburbs and their contribution of greenhouse gases, as well as the better access to public transit that these communities afford. You will study a number of environmental considerations and how they affect decisions when it comes to choosing what community to live in. The results of your study will be incorporated into the City's plans for its inner-city neighbourhoods.

Australia will seek to rattle Sri Lanka with reverse swing in July, when their No.1 Test ranking defence starts in Kandy.
Australia haven't donned the whites since February, when they grabbed top spot on the International Cricket Council's rankings with a 2-0 series win in New Zealand.
The subcontinent looms as the final frontier in Steve Smith's search for a golden dynasty at No.1.
Coming trips will give Australia a chance to shore up their status as the world's best Test side.
A three-Test series in Sri Lanka starts on July 26, and a four-Test tour of India follows in the home summer of 2016-17.
Raging turners will be all the rage in Sri Lanka but Josh Hazlewood says Australia's pacemen will have big roles to play.
"We're looking to get the tour off to a flying start and take wickets up front, put them under pressure and let Nathan (Lyon) do his thing," he said in Barbados.
"I don't think it's going to swing too much with the new ball - it's more the old one.
Langer weighs in on 'Floyd' Warner
Zimbabwe's ODI series against Australia postponed
Taylor reacts to talk of moving Boxing Day Test from MCG
"If we can be potent with that and get that going, that's going to be handy for us."
In that regard, the ongoing ODI tri-series in the West Indies has provided some positives for Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Coulter-Nile.
"Obviously they're similar conditions and we've been lucky enough to get a bit of reverse-swing in the past couple of games," Hazlewood said.
"It's going to be a big key for the quicks in Sri Lanka."
Starc is the only paceman in the 15-man squad with any Test experience on the subcontinent.
Coulter-Nile is yet to make his Test debut, while Hazlewood is a red-ball rookie in the conditions, having yet to play a first-class fixture anywhere in the subcontinent.
"So it'll be a bit of an eye-opener I guess," he said.
"But I've played a lot of limited-overs cricket on those wickets.
"The one spot we've struggled a lot is the subcontinent.
"We've got three Tests in Sri Lanka and four in India in the next 12 months so there's going to be plenty of opportunities to do better in those conditions."

Bride: Katie | Groom: Ezra
Wedding Date: August 13, 2016 | Number of Guests: 64
All Katie really wanted for her wedding was Elegance. The colour palette featured hints of the royal colours of dark blue, dark red and gold throughout. The bride had a bridal dress with sleeves in mind, but the moment she tried on her gorgeous lace gown, she knew she found the one. It looked elegant and made her looked like a queen, which was all she had hoped for! The couple wed at the House of Laurels, the breathtakingly beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland, giving their special day that Old-World British feel they were dreaming of. Swords, capes, tiaras and a cute little dog in tartan were just some of the magical touches that brought to life the 'Royal Affair' winter wedding theme the couple envisioned.
How did you and your partner meet?
At the birthday party of a mutual friend.
How did he propose?
On a glorious winter night, overlooking the river, he got down on one knee after giving a beautiful speech about how much he loved me and wanted to spend his life with me. It was a total surprise!
What's your most important piece of advice for creating and maintaining a strong relationship?
Communication and openness. Discuss the hopes and dreams for your lives and help each other to achieve them. Watching your partner achieve things and find happiness in themselves makes you feel just as happy. Talk about the good things and bad things. Make time to spend time together and spend time apart with others, and alone. You have to still be your own person to truly enjoy your partner.
Tell us about your wedding gown and how you chose it:
I initially wanted a completely different dress. Heading to search, I knew I loved long lace sleeves and huge skirts. I didn't find a lot of dresses with long lace sleeves, so I ended up trying on pretty much anything, thinking I might be able to add sleeves. According to my bridesmaids, I could pull off any style or colour, which actually wasn't helpful!
When the assistant brought out my dress I was skeptical…it was tight fitting and had no sleeves, but when I walked out and saw myself, I just knew it was right. Ultimately, I wanted to look elegant and queen-like, and that's what the dress conveyed to me. My advice to brides is set your budget, find a bit of inspiration to get you started, but keep an open mind and just try on everything! It's not often you get free reign to try on wedding dresses, so enjoy and expect to be surprised.
What sort of style did you envision for your wedding day?
Elegance was really what we wanted. Our dress code was listed as "A Royal Affair". We really enjoy old world British traditions and style, and so we introduced as much of that as we could, but in a subtle way; morning suits and swords for the men, a cape and tiara for the bride, tartan for the page boy (Charlie the dog), Scottish locations for table names etc.
We decided on a colour scheme (dark blue, dark red and gold) and had hints of that throughout. House of Laurels allowed us to do what we wanted to, in terms of styling and decor, and they provided whatever we asked for. We stuck to simple table settings; white linen and silver candelabra, blue and gold on the chairs and red on the gift tags. The location of the Sunshine Coast hinterland in winter certainly added to the British feel, with rolling green hills and a chilly afternoon air.
What was your favorite moment from the day?
Walking back down the aisle, after marrying my best friend at our dream wedding, surrounded by our closest friends and family. There's a beautiful image that captured the moment perfectly. Nothing will beat that feeling.
Any DIY décor elements?
I created our table names and the table plan myself. Just some coloured paper and fancy tape from Officeworks and some patience with the home printer. I also created some table settings for the courtyard where the pre-dinner drinks were held. Fake flowers in red, dark purple, blue and greenery, gold. White vases and candle holders from Ikea and some battery powered fairy lights from Kmart. Plus, all the tea lights I could get my hands on! House of Laurels managed all the rest of the décor and styling as per our requests.
If you could do it all over again, what would you change?
We had quite a lot of speeches, and that was an important thing for us. However, this did cut into our dancing/chatting time quite a lot. If we could do it over, we'd extend our reception time so we had enough time to chat with all our guests and dance more! We'd also take a bit more time off before the wedding. We really had to rush around as we only had one day to get ourselves ready before driving up and I'd have preferred to relax a bit more.
Any tips that you can give to future brides?
Decide what aspects are important to you and your partner and spend your money on that and forget the rest. We did not have a cake, and spent very little on flowers, as we preferred to spend money on our outfits and accessories and décor to make the day reflect our style. Social media can give you some great ideas, but don't get trapped thinking you have to have every aspect of a "traditional" wedding and replicate everything you see online and in magazines. Make it your own, that's what your guests will remember and that's what will make the day truly yours.
Enjoy the planning as much as you can, and let people help you! If you have a few people like Mum's, bridesmaids etc. on the day who knows what's going on. It will save you a lot of stress! The day really does fly by, it isn't a cliché. Try to be in the moment and have as much ready as possible before the day, so you can just relax and enjoy it all!

Managing the energy costs of commercial or industrial facilities spread across multiple sites is often a time-consuming, pain-staking process. That's why very few companies truly understand their energy usage or if they're paying a fair purchase price. There are currently more than 400 regulated utility companies in the U.S. and each has their own unique rate schedule and tariff. From natural gas to electricity, the options in de-regulated markets are confusing and the utility bills are difficult to decipher. To add fuel to the fire, government energy-efficiency mandates must be adhered to and virtually no facility manager has the time to sort it all out.
At Certus, we know energy inside and out. We understand the latest government regulations and have years of experience managing the price volatility associated with commodities such as natural gas and electricity. We can analyze your operation, capturing essential information about energy consumption and identify areas for improvement. We'll help you to make smarter purchasing decisions and ensure your operation is running as energy-efficient as possible.
We take a comprehensive approach to energy management, examining both the supply and demand sides of energy management as it applies to each individual facility. Our experts can provide you with an in-depth, objective analysis of your energy consumption from the ground up. Our findings are supported by real, measurable data that can be used to help you achieve the energy-efficient, well-managed environment your company needs to control energy costs.
Contact us today to see how we can help you better manage your energy expenses.

Tim Hudak decries 'corporate welfare' at factory that receives government grants
Hudak promotes cutting corporate tax rate over 'handouts'
For the second day in a row, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak campaigned at a small business in southern Ontario on the benefits of corporate tax cuts over government grants.
His message on this day of the campaign is that "corporate welfare" — government handouts to small businesses — were less effective than lower corporate taxes. The Tories say they'd kill the Liberals' plan to provide $2.5-billion in grants to companies to attract new jobs and instead would lower corporate taxes to help all businesses.
But, again for the second day in a row, the small business he chose to tour was a beneficiary of the Liberal government's grants.
On Monday, Hudak toured MetalWorks, a music studio that used government money to support its operations. On Tuesday, the small factory in suburban Toronto, Automatic Coating Ltd., also accepted government grants to expand.
Hudak said it's only natural for companies to take government cash when it's on offer because their taxes are so high, saying they're just getting some of their own money back.
The Conservative campaign acknowledges Hudak has been campaigning to companies that benefited from government funding, and claims that's the only way those businesses can get ahead under the Liberal government.
Hudak says he'd cut taxes, make energy rates more affordable and bring down government debt to make the province a more attractive place for companies to invest and expand.

Tommy Terrific's Carwash Coming to Beckley Avenue in Oak Cliff
Third Dallas location for the express exterior car wash brand
DALLAS – Oak Cliff is the next target for the growing Dallas-based Tommy Terrific's Carwash brand. The company has purchased 2008 North Beckley Avenue and intends to build an express exterior car wash. The conveyor car wash tunnel and hand-drying time will take approximately three minutes, and the location will offer complimentary customer use of vacuums and mat cleaning machines.
This will be the third Tommy Terrific's Carwash. The first location opened in 2008 in North Dallas at 3541 Forest Lane and has washed more than 800,000 vehicles. The second Tommy Terrific's Carwash opened in 2012 at 5021 Ross Avenue in Uptown/East Dallas. To date, the Ross location has out-performed all projections of growth, washing approximately 100,000 cars last year.
Construction on the Beckley location is scheduled to begin spring of 2016 after completion of the Dallas Horseshoe Project connector ramp located directly to the north of the property on Interstate-30 and Beckley Avenue.
"Following the success of our Ross Avenue location east of downtown, we are now ready to expand south," said Tom Miller, owner of Tommy Terrific's Carwash. "We see many similarities in the two areas with the considerable retail and residential growth and overall community revitalization. By opening a location on Beckley Avenue, we believe we will be well-positioned to serve the residents of Oak Cliff as well as commuters and destination driven visitors."
Miller, a Dallas native, has more than 25 years experience in the car wash industry. In addition to the Tommy Terrific's Carwash brand, he also owns/operates a full-service car wash in Allen, Texas, TradeMark Car Wash.
About Tommy Terrific's Carwash:
Tommy Terrific's Carwash is a Dallas-based company providing exterior car washes. Since 2008, the company has washed more than one million cars, employs approximately 40 staff, and is independently owned.

My hankering for new project bags started when a friend and her two daughters asked me to teach them some sewing basics. Our first project was this cute tote bag. The pattern and tutorial are free from Craftsy and the you only need a fat quarter of the feature fabric. I found a remnant of this donut fabric at JoAnn's, and I love how my bag turned out. My sewing students made theirs from fat quarters of batiks, and they came out beautifully. I really liked their choices of complimentary lining and handle fabrics.
Because I have a number of knitting projects going at any one time, I decided I wanted a couple of more of these Japanese knot bags. These bags take about a half yard each of two fabrics, and they can be assembled from fat quarters, which is what I did with these two directional feature fabrics. I made these before, and you can see my original post for details.
How about that lining? I've filled this bag with the materials for my next shawl project.
Here's the second bag I made. I lined it with some really cute flannel that Debra gave me when I visited her a few years ago.
These projects are really quick to finish, which is a nice break from my slow-sewing project: the king sized quilt.

Number of Allowed "Release from Data File" Nodes
Posted 12 juni 2019 11:30 GMT−4 Ray Optics 1 Reply
Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam
I am currently simulating the optics of an implantable LED-lens system. Here, the LED has the shape of a hexahedron (Picture of LED attached). Five faces of the LED serve as ray sources. My plan is to define a set of points on each face and have them emit rays in a spherical fashion, with the axis of the rays perpendicular to that particular face. In order to do this, I plan to use the "Release from Data File" node of the Ray Optics module. As the axis vector for each face is different, I created five different data files, each containing a set of points on that particular face. Then I imported them to five different "Release from Data File" nodes. On running the study (I am using "Bidirectionally Coupled Ray Tracing", as I also need to study ray heating effects), I get the following error:
Error in multiphysics compilation. Syntax error in low-level element syntax representation. - Index: 111 - Type: elparticle - Field: time - Detail: Missing field
When I run it with just one "Release from Data File" node after disabling all the others, it runs smoothy without any issues. Can COMSOL handle only one "Release from Data File" node, or does the problem lie elsewhere? Please let me know how I should go about this.
Thank you. Abhinav

Instagram user Iamtmcii posted a shot of what looks to be a massive week of restocks leading up to the NBA All-Star game. The list includes Taxi 12s, Bobcats and Steel 10s, Bel Air and Laney 5s, Infrared 3Lab 5s and more.
February is synonymous with big sneaker releases so its reasonable to believe this list could be the real deal. Though, we don't know for certain. The restocks, according to this list, are scheduled to launch tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled.

Sir Martin Sorrell's S4 Capital posted another surge in revenue, fueled by major client wins, keeping the self-described new age/new era digital advertising and marketing services company on track to double in size by 2021.
The company posted a statutory loss for the June first half of GBP8.8 million on the back of one-off costs, including acquisitions.
But billings rose 44.4% to GBP184.23 million, revenues 41.6% to GBP87.97 million as the company puts revenue growth ahead of net profit.
Sorrell, who launched S4 last year after he left WPP, the company he founded, says the client roster continues to strengthen in technology and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG),
High profile cliet wins in the first half include Procter & Gamble, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Sprint, Bayer, ASICS, Vodafone NZ, SoFi and Lavazza
The company says the second half is targeted to be even stronger and has started well. Pro-forma revenue was up 67.6%.
"These results confirm the power and relevance of the faster, better, cheaper, digital-only unitary advertising model, with first party data fuelling content and programmatic," says Sorrell.
"Now the task is to build significant scale organically, by broadening and deepening existing and new client relationships and adding resources through merger and acquisition."
He says there has been strong individual content practice and programmatic practice client development in FMCG, pharmaceutical, media, financial services, telecommunications, hospitality, retail, sport and technology.
Significant development continues at Google, HP, Netflix, Uber, Merck, Mondelēz, Electrolux, Blue Nile and Nationwide, he says.
Sorrell says S4 is increasingly being included in a number of major industry reviews, reflecting the client interest in the new era, new age agency consultancy model.
The June half numbers:
Gross Profit by Geography
- Americas (68% of total) was GBP47.41 million, up 42.9% from GBP33.17 last year.
- EMEA (24% of total Gross Profit) was GBP16.80 million, up 27.1% from GBP13.22 million.
- Asia Pacific (8% of total) was GBP5.98 million, up 152.4% from GBP2.37 million last year.

Cube Zero, which will be in production until September 5th, is a prequel to Cube and Hypercube. It features an entirely new cast of characters, although Andrew Miller, who played the autistic Kazan in the first Cube, says he had to turn down Zero because of time restraints.
Little casting is known so far. Stephanie Moore, an Ottawa native with little film experience, will play the key role of Cassandra Rains. The Clinton News-Record reports that Canadian comedian Mike Nahrgang also has a part in Cube Zero – his unfortunate character makes an early exit thanks to one of the series' signature booby-traps. "I do get to be fitted for prosthetics for my big scene. Not to ruin it for you, but I get to die a horrifying death. Yahoo!" Nahrgang told the newspaper.
As with Hypercube, Zero is being written and directed by an entirely different crew, with backing by completely different production companies. The only continuity seems to be the involvement of Mr. X, the effects house that worked on Hypercube.
Released in 1997, Cube became a cult hit after a brief theatrical run in North America and a surprisingly successful release in France. The unusual story centered around a small group of people who wake up one day to find themselves in a vast maze of booby-trapped, cube-shaped rooms. Hypercube took the cube maze idea to the next level, but it was considered inferior to its predecessor. It went straight to video domestically but enjoyed a fairly successful theatrical run in France again. Cube Zero promises to give new insights on how and why the Cube was built; whether it can live up to the intriguing first Cube remains to be seen.

Sulfonylureas and the Risks of Cardiovascular Events and Death: A Methodological Meta-Regression Analysis of the Observational Studies
Recent randomized trials have compared the newer antidiabetic agents to treatments involving sulfonylureas, drugs associated with increased cardiovascular risks and mortality in some observational studies with conflicting results. We reviewed the methodology of these observational studies by searching MEDLINE from inception to December 2015 for all studies of the association between sulfonylureas and cardiovascular events or mortality. Each study was appraised with respect to the comparator, the outcome, and study design–related sources of bias. A meta-regression analysis was used to evaluate heterogeneity. A total of 19 studies were identified, of which six had no major design-related biases. Sulfonylureas were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in five of these studies (relative risks 1.16–1.55). Overall, the 19 studies resulted in 36 relative risks as some studies assessed multiple outcomes or comparators. Of the 36 analyses, metformin was the comparator in 27 (75%) and death was the outcome in 24 (67%). The relative risk was higher by 13% when the comparator was metformin, by 20% when death was the outcome, and by 7% when the studies had design-related biases. The lowest predicted relative risk was for studies with no major bias, comparator other than metformin, and cardiovascular outcome (1.06 [95% CI 0.92–1.23]), whereas the highest was for studies with bias, metformin comparator, and mortality outcome (1.53 [95% CI 1.43–1.65]). In summary, sulfonylureas were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in the majority of studies with no major design-related biases. Among studies with important biases, the association varied significantly with respect to the comparator, the outcome, and the type of bias. With the introduction of new antidiabetic drugs, the use of appropriate design and analytical tools will provide their more accurate cardiovascular safety assessment in the real-world setting.

Please note that we are recommending the battery types for the below motorcycles based on data from catalogues, please check that the specs of your current battery is matching. If you need assistance in selecting the best battery for your motorbike, please contact us.The latest generation of batteries are identified by the red cover. Waterproof (W) The battery is completely waterproof and is not damaged, even if the motorcycle is cleaned with high pressure.Spacer (S) Batteries may be equipped with one or more spacers that are taped with adhesive tape under the battery so that the battery fits exactly into the original battery box. Indicator (I) All batteries are equipped with a battery condition indicator. Simply press the test button. When all three blue LEDs light up the battery is fully charged(ful). If it lights only 2 LEDs, it is only half charged (med). When only one LED is lit (low), the battery must be charged immediately. Replacing a standard lead-acid battery by a JMT lithium-ion batter can save you up to up to 5 kg in weight with minimum effort. JMT lithium-ion batteries have the following benefits: - About 1/3 of the weight of comparable lead acid battery - Unbeatable ratio of cost/weight savings - Can be mounted in any position - no acid spillage - Does not contain heavy metals - Balanced discharge/charge of all cells by the integral balancer - Fast charging with high ampage systems (up to 90% fully charged in only 6 minutes) - Very low self-discharge - long shelf life (up to 5% per month) - Excellent performance at high temperatures (even up to 60° C)- Safe technology and high durability Lead-acid batteries only use 30% of their capacity whilst nearly 100% of the capacity of lithium-ion batteries is used. For this reason, lithium versions of JMT batteries need only 1/3 of the capacity of a comparable lead-acid battery for the same starting power. A uniform charging of all the cells is ensured by a built-in processor (the "balancer"). The dimensions of the lithium-ion batteries (using adapters where necessary)correspond to the dimensions of the original lead-acid batteries and the connections are identical, thus the battery can be replaced easily in a few minutes. *** IMPORTANT *** Please note that only suitable battery chargers are used, such as the JMP 800, JMP 4000 or the corresponding workshop equipment. Please ensure that a compatible charger is used as a wrong charger will invalidate the 2 year warranty.For fast charging, we recommend the JMP 30000 workshop unit. With this a lithium-ion battery can be charged up to 90% within 6 minutes. For the maximum recommended charging currents please refer to the technical data below. In no case must chargers be use that have a de-sulphate mode for deeply discharged batteries (i.e showing 10 volts or less) These chargers use an output of more than 14.9 volts before they begin the actual charging cycle. The maximum charging voltage of 14.9 volts must not be exceeded in any case, as in extreme circumstances there can be a danger of explosion. Although this lightweight battery is extremely suitable for everyday use, it should be noted that the starting capacity is reduced at temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. Technology - JMT lithium-ion batteries are manufactured using a cathode material of iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and lithium-polymer. The technology and the manufacturing process ensure the highest safety standard for lithium batteries. - 12 V maintenance-free lithium-ion battery - Recommended charging current 4 A - Maximum charging current for fast charging 36 A

I have a very special Christmas Eve treat for you today! The talented team of Michael Justin Films carefully crafted this elaborate proposal and of course it was all caught on film… make sure you have some tissues handy… this is unbelievable.
Congratulations Natalie and Ryan!
From the Bride… "Once my heart stopped racing and the tears passed, I honestly could not wipe the smile off my face and am grateful that the film (and Michael Justin) captured that moment at the end. I used to joke with Ryan saying "the one thing I ask is please don't propose to me when I am in my pajamas", but I would have NEVER expected this! He took care of it all – my hair, my dress, my accessories – and I had no idea. He is a really romantic guy, so it wasn't completely crazy that he was sending me on this cute journey, but when I read the word "forever" in the letter at the boutique, Dagny and Barstow, I began to realize what was going on. Even then, I still had no idea I was being filmed until the iPad video in the car. I have never felt as loved as I did that day. I am so incredibly lucky for the amazing man who planned an incredible journey ending with the proposal of my dreams. I am blessed that our families and friends were not only part of it, but there to celebrate with us. So many brides spend the hours after their engagement on the phone with loved ones – I had nothing left to do but enjoy the moment with the people I would have been been calling. It was more than I ever imagined. Our wedding is set for August 2013 and plans are slowly coming together. Ryan and I made a promise the morning after this film to enjoy the wedding planning process as much as possible and it is our plan to stick to that – to enjoy this time of our lives. I am looking forward to continuing the celebration with all of our friends and family members, the ones who you see in the film and the ones you don't, and putting our own unique touches on the wedding details." – Natalie

A little house, a little blues, a little funk, a little rock, and a whole lot of soul blast through BoomBox.
Since first emerging in 2004, founder, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Zion Rock Godchaux has been quietly seasoning this simmering recipe to perfection. However, it reaches a boiling point on his forthcoming 2018 fifth album, Western Voodoo [Heart of Gold Records].
At the same time, the Muscle Shoals, AL native stays true to what attracted countless fans in the first place.
"I remain open to anything you would hear coming out of a boombox," he explains. "There are a lot of different vibes and angles, but it still adheres to a universal rhythm. This new record is the most musical and varied, yet it's tightly wound in respect to that syncopation. There are only a few rules. It should be heavy groove. It should make you want to move. Overall, I've further developed the sound people are used to."
"You hear about different forms of magic around the world," he goes on. "The West, in general, has its own voodoo influenced by the blues. That's what shaped me as a musician growing up in this country. It's hard to put in the words, but you know it when you hear it."
You hear it in everything that BoomBox has done thus far. Over the course of four albums, the group has become a streaming favorite with numerous tracks cracking a million plays on Spotify. Moreover, they've made audiences groove everywhere from Electric Forest and Hangout Music Festival to High Sierra Music Festival and Red Rocks.
In the end, the new music kicks off the brightest and boldest chapter yet for Godchaux. "Our best side is somewhat medicinal," he leaves off. "All of the rhythms, melodies, and frequencies add up to these healing properties. I hope people feel rejuvenated and re-focused on some level when they hear us. That's Western Voodoo."
In the spring of 2019 Zion enlisted his "brother from the same mother" Kinsman MacKay to embark on BoomBox's most exciting configuration to date. "There's a special kind of chemistry between two brothers playing music together," Zion explains. "Since 2003 we'd get together and make tracks just for fun, and realized we had a strong connection in the studio." The two always knew they would work on a project together someday, and when the doors opened up logistically in 2019, it was the natural move for the brothers to take form as BoomBox.
BomBassic (Asheville, NC) is the musical collaboration of Brucey B and Cpt. HyperDrive focused on creating sound full of emotion and energy. Raised on the raw sound of NY hip-hop, and groomed in Asheville's eclectic electronic music scene, they exhibit a wide range of influences. From funk, classical, jazz to glitch-hop, house, and future bass, every resonating genre is explored. With Brucey B on the keys and HyperDrive controlling a custom DJ-FX rack, their high-energy live performance adds an incredibly soulful dimension to their sound. BomBassic's music is always growing, in different directions, looking for new ways to connect with the listener.
Originally from Long Island, New York, now based in Asheville, North Carolina, Cpt. HyperDrive and Brucey B met in high school and became friends on their shared love for hip hop and music in general. Brucey formed a local hip hop group, IRD, and a few years later HyperDrive asked to join. Welcomed into the group, Brucey B taught HyperDrive all of his production techniques and how to operate audio hardware. Their chemistry was evident and their skills kept progressing.
In 2008, Brucey moved to Asheville, NC and began sending HyperDrive different types of electronic music. Both found a connection to the various genres of electronic music because of the arrangements, sounds, melodies and the overall composition.
Passion for innovative music and introduction to new genres and artists inspired the two to form a new group. BomBassic was born in Spring 2011 in an effort to combine their experience of production along with the limitless boundaries of electronic music. Since then they have formed a deep catalog of soul moving material that continues to evolve in style and sound.
Since early 2013, BomBassic's live performances have featured nothing but original composed music with the added element of live keyboard performance and musicianship. They've been featured artists at Moogfest 2014, Kinnection Campout 2014, & Moog's AHA AVL series while also sharing the stage with the likes of Eskmo, Michal Menert, Love & Light, Marley Carroll, Elaquent, Aligning Minds, Robot Koch, Pumpkin, Futexture, Push/Pull and many more.

Orlando Male Massage Therapist Joel Rayburn Describes Different Types Of Massage Therapy That Help Eliminate The Pain And Article About Painful Condition That He Discovered In His Practice.
Neuromuscular Therapy Massage[ Wed Jan 1 2014 ]
Neuromuscular therapy is very effective for treating chronic pain. Neuromuscular therapy treats Pain from trigger points, ischemia, neural interference and postural distortions. Trigger points are thought to be nodules near the center portion of a muscle fiber that when pressed will cause pain and a referral to another area over 73% of the time. I good example would be when you grasp your upper trapezius and you feel pain in your forehead or temple area. The theory is that these nodules are formed when a local energy crisis causes the center portion of the muscle to stay in a contracted state. The nodule is formed when the the two ends of the muscle come closer together forming a bulge. Ischemia is when tissue is painful to touch because the blood flow to the area is restricted. The theory is reduced blow flow causes a build up of cellular waste causing the pain receptors in the affected tissue to become more sensitive. Neural interference is when soft tissue compresses on a nerve passing through or between muscles or fascia causing pain. Postural distortions can be caused by muscular imbalances that put uneven wear or stress on joints or opposing muscles. The treatment using Neuromuscular therapy if done properly is not painful and very effective in treating the above conditions resulting in long lasting relief. Below are a few common examples of problems addressed by Neuromuscular therapy and who would benefit.

Ha Long Bay and the area of Cong La, two locations of Quang Ninh, will be seen in the Hollywood's blockbuster.
To choose this shooting area, the crew had to come to Halong about half a year ago and spent a number of days on discovering Halong Bay. On 6 March, the film director, Jordan Vogt-Robert will have the final check before the shooting in the next day.
According to a veteran boat driver of the Management Board of Ha Long Bay, the area of Cong La has 2 beautiful small lakes surrounded by mountains. While one lake is reached by climbing over a mountain, the other could be reached by boating through 3 caves. Caves of the area were named Ba Hang (three caves).
Cong La- Ba Hang is situated about 30 km from Tuan Chau and 20 km from Hon Gai pier. This area shares the same border with Cat Ba Island, Hai Phong.
Photographer Giang Do was invited by the film crew Kong: The Skull Island to investigate the shooting point with the film director Jordan Vogt-Roberts on 6 March. He is regarded as one who knows well every corner of Halong Bay. He is also shortlisted in the record book for taking the most photographs of Ha Long Bay from above. Here are some of his photos taken on this occasion.

Thousands of women who fought Glasgow City Council for equal pay have had money deducted from their compensation packets to cover legal fees after unions entered into a secretive deal before negotiations began, a new investigation has revealed.
Members of Unison, Unite and the GMB were told they would receive the full amount of settlement money offered by the local authority after a long-running dispute over a disparity in pay between male and female workers was resolved in January.
However, according to documents seen by the BBC, all claimants have had fees deducted from the £548 million compensation pot designed to redress the balance after 'equal pay specialists' Action 4 Equality agreed a 6.9 per cent contribution would be taken from each of the 16,000 women it represented.
The council agreed to pay out after a job evaluation scheme adopted in 2007 saw 'traditionally female-dominated' roles such as catering or home care paid up to £3 per hour less than 'male-dominated' jobs such as refuse workers or gardeners.
READ MORE: Glasgow's equal pay fight settled in deal worth £548m
Under the terms of the settlement, none of the women were allowed to speak about how much they were awarded, but the BBC understands they were also not informed that fees would be applied to their package.
Each woman had an "individual offer" depending on how far back they were allowed to claim, how much they were underpaid per hour and how many hours they worked – but were not told how the amount was calculated.
Most of the claimants were represented by Action 4 Equality, operated by lawyer Stefan Cross.
But employment lawyer Carol Fox, who worked with Mr Cross on the Glasgow case between 2008 and 2015, told the Disclosure programme that unions only began to put claims in for the women when they saw the success of other companies who were taking on councils and winning.
Ms Fox, who also worked on equal pay cases in North and South Lanarkshire, told the programme she was "troubled" by aspects of the settlement.
She left the company in 2015 and played no part in the final negotiations for the Glasgow settlement.
"That deal is very different from all the other settlements that we reached," she said.
"It doesn't appear to me that the women have been told the detail of what they've paid. And who they've paid it to, and what it's been for."
All the unions had promised members they would get all the money they were owed.
By the time of the Glasgow settlement, Unison had dealt with 5,000 claims, while the GMB had more than 2,500 and Unite had a small number of claims.
However, Disclosure revealed the three unions - as well as Action 4 Equality - entered into a deal before negotiations began with the council.
As part of this deal, it was agreed that every claimant would have a percentage of the settlement offered by the council deducted in legal fees - including those backed by their unions.
All of the claimant organisations told the programme their members or clients benefitted from this deal and received higher offers by working together.
But Audrey Masson, a home carer represented by the GMB, said: "Nothing against Stefan Cross, why should we have to pay, because I never signed for him to represent me. I signed for the unions."
Mr Cross, the director of Action 4 Equality, said that by signing their settlement offers, claimants agreed to the terms.

He said: "Every single agreement includes a legal commitment to make that payment."
The unions said settlements were based on a "complex formula" and they could not discuss them because they were confidential.
As well as the legal fees, Disclosure also discovered that potentially thousands of workers have missed out on claiming for the full extent of their discrimination.
Under Scottish law, workers who have been discriminated against are entitled to five years back-pay if their case is successful.
However, because the pay dispute at Glasgow City Council has gone on since 2006, the maximum time period claimants can receive compensation for is 12 years.
Audrey Masson worked as a home carer for 15 years but is receiving only five years back-pay, but alleges her union never told her to put in a claim.
She did eventually lodge a claim but too late to receive the full amount of 12 years of back-pay.
Ms Masson said: "We stood on the picket lines for equality, and we didn't even get it. Most of the people that stood on the picket lines didn't even know they were only getting five years."
The GMB union, who represented Ms Masson, denied claims were put in late.
In an interview with the BBC, Gary Smith, GMB Scotland Secretary, said: "We were given the wrong legal advice, we did not pursue the same cases as the private lawyers, or indeed one of the other unions. But our members were not left at a detriment in the end."
Disclosure: The Great Equal Pay Scandal airs tonight at 8.30 pm on BBC One Scotland.

Achieving Long Life And Low Cost In Separators For Fuel Cells With High Precision Metal Surface Processing Technology
Sun Industry, with support from the government, is applying its high level of stamping and plating technology to the development of separators for fuel cells. Using titanium, which is notoriously difficult to process, Sun has succeeded in creating separators with low cost, yet long life.
Separators are conductive plates that divide a fuel cell stack into individual cells, and serve as a barrier to hydrogen gas or air. Ordinary devices use resin separators, and are expensive and prone to mechanical damage. In addition to overcoming these disadvantages, metal is also in demand for metal separators as a means to improve generation efficiency.
"Materials like titanium are extremely difficult to plate, and require preprocessing before plating. The metal has to go through a huge number of complicated processes. At Sun Industry, we've used our proprietary know-how to reduce this preprocessing time to just a few minutes. We think this is our big advantage over other companies."
"This unit here, which was a product of joint development, was designed as a fuel cell for home use. In the future, we'd like to reduce the size somewhat for use in automotive applications. There are about 100 of our plated separators in this stack. Because large numbers of separators are used, we think this could lead to big business for us."
While keeping an eye on changes in the fuel cell market, Sun Indusstry is making technical proposals to a variety of manufacturers, with its main targets being first automobile makers, and second fuel cell makers.

Without surprise, the Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi was reelected for a second four years term in office, with more than 97 % of the vote according to the official results and with a turnout of 41.05 %. President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi had to compete with a supporter, Moussa Mostafa Moussa, who won 3 % of the votes. If other candidates tried to compete with Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, they had to redraw after pressure or ended up in prison.
These elections took place in a context of a real crackdown on civil society. The adoption and ratification of the NGO and Trade Union laws example the concrete steps taken by the government to repress human rights activists and civil society organizations. With the reelection of President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, a new wave of repression is to be expected with the implementation of these draconian laws. Not to forget the continuing increase of the number of forced disappearance, the death penalty becoming a real trend or the spaces for expression closing one after the other.
SOLIDAR denounces these practices and highly recommends the EU to take the necessary actions and uses of its influence to stop the repression. The EU-Egypt Partnership priorities offer a framework for negotiation and discussion but the EU is to keep its commitments towards human, economic, social and cultural rights.

I suppose that in order for the universe to maintain its balance, that for every Lock it or Lose it there must be a Cop Light Bling.
Yes, this really is the Nova Scotia RCMP parodying Hotline Bling (also a terrible song) in the name of road safety.
Nova Scotia RCMP's music video, 'Cop Light Bling', promotes awareness of Nova Scotia's 'Move Over' law.
The goal of the video is to highlight Nova Scotia's An Act to Increase Safety for First Responders and Others, commonly known as the 'Move Over' law.
After coming into effect on May 1, 2010, the law makes it an offence to drive faster than 60 km/h or the posted speed limit (whichever is the lesser of the two) when passing a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing. Motorists also must change to the lane farthest from the stopped emergency vehicle, if that lane is free and it is safe to do so.
Thank you for slowing down and moving over!
While I mostly agree with Alan Cross when he says that "the RCMP just killed "Hotline Bling"" and it's "time to call the SIU," they do get points for including one of those blow by blow descriptions of the action with the video for the benefit of deaf and blind people. I'll paste it below in case anyone's interested.

Tips for Ensuring a Successful Family life.
It is the joy of every family to ensure that they are bonded together in one way or the other. This is to steer the family to go into the right direction as a unit. As a member of a family, work hard to ensure that your family is bonded and the small fights that come along are well sorted out to ensure a successful and a healthy family. Make sure that everyone is on the same page and speak one language of happiness and peace.
Because you cannot guess what other members of the family are thinking, it is good enough to ensure that everybody is in a position to openly speak their minds. It is important that you listen to one another keenly and respond with due respect. This will help in ensuring that the house is happy all the times and have a successful way to solving out their problems.
In order to also build a successful and happy life, take quality time to spend your time together as a family. You should be able to make your light moments with your family together so as to bond and be happy together. No one in the family should be looked down upon because everyone has a role to play in a family.
You should strive to ensure that you pull each other to the success journey as a family. Each other's belonging and space should be respected. This will help in ensuring that no one is able to trespass the boundary of the other.
Carefully listen to each other and the ideas that they give out and give them attention that they deserve without judging them. Apparent should, therefore, set a good example to their children, to be honest, enough to set a good pace for their children.
This is because they do not need to know everything in life because they should be trained accordingly as time goes by. This is to ensure that you protect your family in the best way possible to ensure that it is bonded together at all times. It is also important to switch off cooking the meals with different members of the family so that everyone is able to participate in the cooking program. You will have a great time sharing your moments together as a family and spend quality time as group.
Getting along to ensure a successful family life requires that you are in a position to understand and sympathize with the situations that anyone goes through. It is all about being kind, accepting and thoughtful about each other's feelings. This should not be assumed at any time. It is therefore important to ensure that you have the best ways to solve the conflicts that arise in the family.

Yesterday, I went out for my long run for the week. I was actually really looking forward to this run. Sometimes you dread it, sometimes you are pumped up. This particular morning, I was pumped & ready to attack the 8 miles ahead of me. I woke up before my alarm clock (rare), threw on my running clothes, pulled my hair back, grabbed a bottle of water and headed out while my husband and kids were snuggly and sleeping away in bed. I walked up the road, stretched, took a sip of water, hit play on the ipod, start on my garmin and took off.
Nice and slow, I had determined I was going to enjoy this run. And I did. There are hardly any cars on the road at 6:30 on a Sunday morning. Very peaceful. I did pass an occasional person walking their dog or other runners here and there. Tyler really is a beautiful place. I love running here. There was a slight breeze and it really wasn't unbearably hot yet. Great run.
It wasn't hard until the very end – when I got to the big…no, make that the HUGE hill. We like to name hills on our running routes. Usually if someone we know lives near the hill, we dub it with that person's name. In Quitman, there is Wilson Hill and Cates Mountain. Here in Tyler, we have Death Mountain- 1/4 mile uphill by a cemetery. Well, Death Mountain was in the last stretch of my 8 miler. And it inspired this blog post.
As I approached this hill (or what really feels like a mountain after 7 1/2 miles), I took a few deep breaths before I started uphill. I focused my eyes, leaned my body forward and went for it. I have found that if I keep looking up ahead, I see how far I still have to go uphill and it discourages me. However, if I focus on a just few feet ahead of me the whole time, before I know it, I've made it all the way. The hills tend to slow my pace down some, but that's OK. After I get up to the top, I regulate my breathing again, take a drink and finish out the run strong…all the while thinking, I just killed that mountain! And I'm going to be stronger because of it.
Isn't this how life is really? We have mountains to climb and they are absolutely tiring, and hard to get over. Life is hard. There are many ups and downs, no doubt. The older I get, the more I realize this. But the good news for us is that God promises to never give us anything we can't bear…and He gives us the strength to get uphill. We don't have to go at it alone. If we stay focused on Him and not look at how far we have left to climb, we will be over the hill before we know it. He is using the mountains to mold us and grow us…making us better runners in this race of life.
I have experienced many hills in life. But the death of my Dad has been the hugest mountain by far for my family and I. One that we are still climbing and stumbling on. It's hard, I'm not gonna lie. There are times we are out of breath, don't know how to go on, and want to quit. But through prayers, encouragement, and love, we press on. And I know, because we press on and press into God, we will be stronger because of it.
"For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." – Philippians 4:13

Partnering with Microsoft & Facebook to bridge education gap and teach Syrian child refugees using digital technology
Syrian refugee children (outside of formal education) use the Tabshoura digital platform to learn
International children's charity World Vision is partnering with Microsoft, Google, Cisco, Facebook and other tech companies to host the #EdTech summit on the 1st and 2nd March. The summit aims to inspire Syrian refugee children to harness the power of technology.
The UN estimates that the Syrian conflict – which enters its seventh year in March – has set back Syrian children's education by a staggering 10 years. This summit will bring together the world's top tech talent to find innovative ways to educate children whose lives have been devastated by war.
World Vision Lebanon, partner organisation Digital Opportunity Trust Lebanon (DOT) and Lebanese Alternative Learning Alliance, are already tackling the issue head on. Together they have pioneered the Tabshoura e-learning program for three-to-six year-olds. Using Moodle e-platform technology they have digitised the Lebanese school curriculum. A total of 2,350 educational activities including rhymes, short movies and flip books can now be accessed in Arabic, French and English for free.
The #EdTech summit is scheduled to take place in Amman, Jordan on the 1st and 2nd of March. It's part of the No Lost Generation campaign, which aims to give refugee children an education that six years of Syrian war has denied them. Around 380,000 Syrian refugee children of school age are now living in Lebanon, but less than 50% of primary school-aged children have access to public primary school, compared to the global average of 90%. Additionally, less than 4% of teenagers have access to secondary school.
Technology can provide cost effective and basic education to millions of refugee children who don't have access to formal education. Countries like Lebanon and Jordan have sheltered millions of children. They are doing their best to support them, but there just isn't the capacity to absorb them into the state school system. We believe that e-learning platforms can bridge that gap
We're looking forward to getting the best brains in the room to thrash out technological solutions to improve education for children affected by the Syria crisis. There are some great thinkers with great ideas out there – and we need to harness this talent for the sake of students who just want to learn, but can't because their classrooms have been bombed, their lives uprooted, and their chances in life potentially shattered as a result.
- Mark Chapple, a former teacher and World Vision's #EdTech summit organiser
World Vision and DOT Lebanon created the innovative Tabshoura programme for nursery school children. The project trained teachers (or e-care givers) and children how to use digital technology. The programme offered structured learning to children who had no formal education.
One of Tabshoura's trainee teachers Mazen Husseini, himself a Syrian refugee, said: "At the beginning, I was against the idea because I thought children this age couldn't use computers well. In Syria, it's rare for children to be using the computers at this age. But they do actually retain the information well from computers. It is much more effective than regular learning because the information is right in front of them with a click on a button."
"The teachers were terrified at first," said DOT Lebanon's Bekaa valley manager Mariam Haidar. "The technology was new to them and they felt overwhelmed, but within weeks we saw great results. We had over a 100 nursery school kids attend the classes. They came three times a week without fail. Even though they had no computer skills at all in the beginning, they managed to master the usage of the mouse and Moodle functionality in a few sessions.
"For us digital trainers it was really exciting to see the children support one another. The children worked well together. And, early studies show that the Tabshoura e-platform users saw a 154% increase in test results. These findings are very encouraging," Haidar added.
World Vision welcomes Priti Patel's (Minister for International Development) call to, "develop and drive a radical jobs and education agenda… which will help vulnerable refugees." With the support of tech entrepreneurs, we believe technology has a crucial role to play in getting children back into education and a step closer to the future they deserve.
