Why TOPS is my favourite band in the world
There's only one thing that's remained a constant source of inspiration for her whole career for Jane Penny – her own band, TOPS. She writes for us about why.
When Line of Best Fit approached me to write about what inspires me I thought about it for a long time, and struggled to land on a definitive topic. There are so many artists that I am inspired by, and I'll often spend evenings watching all the interviews, live performances and music videos of the 'greats'. There are always a few songs I can't stop listening to.
I fall in love with certain recordings, but I won't necessarily be a huge fan of everything an artist releases. In both cases, it's rare that an artist informs my own creative choices in a way that can easily be pinned down. So I thought, what has continuously inspired me for my entire career as a musician? And I realized that the obvious answer to the question is TOPS, my band.
Riley and David, who have both been in the band since it started, are extremely different from one another. David is a highly energetic and gregarious person, whose musical life is divided equally between hours spent paying guitar or keyboard and writing songs, and doing production work on the computer. I met David when we were 12, and he would walk me home from Junior High School, giving me his iPod and ear buds so I could listen to beats he made on Fruity Loops. I also went to see his hardcore band, Girls' Club, during high school, drinking vodka and Nestea out of a water bottle with my friend Lisa.
Riley is a truly gentle soul, sensitive and intelligent, who chooses his words so carefully that people often mistake him for being stoned even though he actually never smokes weed. He's dabbled in playing different instruments and is currently working on his own recordings, but most notably he has been consistently practicing drumming, both drum techniques and different beats that he's working on, for five or more hours a day every day for the past 8 years or so.
Both of these individuals have been collaborating with me, supporting my music and song writing, playing while I sing nondescript ideas and mess around on keyboard, for years now. We've often had differences in opinion, and we've spent countless hours on musical ideas that never come to fruition. But, we've also shared some of the most elating experiences I've ever had in my life, when after hours of rehearsal we come up with a really good song, an idea that propels you to the next day. There have been many times that we've come up with a song, or made progress on a song so that it finally reveals its potential, and I spend the rest of the night freaking out about it, celebrating while the song goes around and around my head, or listening to the voice memo that I recorded at rehearsal hundreds of time.
Recently Jackson and Marta joined TOPS. Jackson is a local recording engineer whose recent work includes Homeshake and She-Devils, my two favourite Montreal bands. He's also an extremely talented instrumentalist and song-writer (both solo and in his band Sheer Agony), a combination which is rarer that you'd think. Marta is a truly ecstatic soul, always seeking out the best in life, having fun with other people. I recently started playing flute in TOPS, and often at our rehearsals we'll dive into a sort of instrumental jam, and I'll play flute with the band for maybe 10 or 20 minutes straight. That kind of communication, while it's a little nerdy for sure, is one of the most fulfilling things I've been able to do as a musician. When I was in high school, playing flute was one of the only things I truly loved, and incorporating that into TOPS gives me such a nice feeling, the feeling that I'm coming full circle and being all stages of myself at once.
When I play with TOPS I am always pushing myself. There were times when I was always showing up to rehearsal really stoned, and that push was painful, but I knew that I had to break out of that introversion and find a way to communicate. We are always bringing new ideas to each other, but are careful not to be too precious with them. You cannot identify yourself with your ideas as a musician, because you often have to thrown them away. We've been harsh with each other, experienced truly unpleasant situations together and often had to make sacrifices along the way in order to keep the band together.
But, I know that in between tours we will rehearse new material together, and this is my favourite thing in the entire world. I learnt how to write songs playing in TOPS, and the best thing about that is that my bandmates have always let me write in my own way, and respected the aspects of my songwriting that are unique. David has also given me the opportunity to sing some of his best songs, which is one of my favourite things to do.
I've never felt that I've lost anything by playing in a band, versus pursuing music as a solo artist. I spend a lot of time by myself working on music, and will release it some day, but I would never be at the point that I'm at musically if it weren't for the commitment from my band, the time spent with them and the ability to observe and take part in the way they make music. Riley is truly my favourite drummer, and the fact that I've been able to play music with him all these years is one of the aspects of my life that I'm the most grateful for. David and I share so much, so many years, our hometown, and a deep understanding of why we both want to be alive. He's someone that I absolutely must have as my friend as long as we're both on planet earth.
TOPS is continuing to grow and lately we've been writing some of our best songs. I look forward to sharing them!

To assimilate or not to assimilate?: Teyonah Parris on the truth behind her "Dear White People" character
What does it mean to be black on an Ivy League campus? It's a question Justin Simiens explores in his award-winning new film, "Dear White People."
At the center of the story is Coco Conners. She wants to be in the limelight, but shies away from the attention that comes with being a black face in a white place.
Fusion's Alicia Menendez sat down with Teyonah Parris, who plays Coco Conners in the film, to find out what drew her to this project.
"I just thought that even from the two-minute trailer that I saw — what Justin [Simiens] was trying to say, I had experienced," she told Menendez.
For Parris' character, the desire for her identity to remain separate from race is one she ultimately finds will not give her the attention she craves.
"I, personally, can relate to sometimes feeling like you have to present certain sides of yourself more with certain people," Parris told Menendez. "I find myself modulating what I present depending on what setting I'm in. I think we're all guilty of doing that."

One of the reasons why I was hurrying down Old County Road this afternoon was to get to Port Clyde to catch a boat. The other reason was because I was passing the Rockland landfill, a strikingly odiferous zone. That strange stretch of road also features several creepy limestone quarries filled with opaque dark water (that more than one car has ended up in), a few houses whose residents hopefully have no sense of smell, some ATV trail crossings, and all that's left of what must once have been several farmhouses: well-spaced clumps of lilac bushes, honeysuckles, purple phlox, and big patches of day lilies that once graced some long-gone dooryards. One patch of lilies so abounded with big orange blooms that if it hadn't been for the smell, I might have even paused to take a photo.
Near the smelly dump,
explosion of day lilies.
This was once a farm.

Dr Disrespect might be one of the most loved high profile Twitch streamers around, but he's proved once again that if you get on the wrong side of him, you won't last long in the Champions Club.
The popular Twitch streamer, who has over 3.4 million followers on the platform at the time of writing, has never been one to ignore comments from fans and donators during his broadcasts. He generally seems to enjoy the interaction.
However, during his May 8 stream, Dr Disrespect read out a comment that was made alongside a five dollar donation and it's fair to say that he wasn't happy with what he heard.
"Full boost and pops energy, laughing out loud, not impressed no. Double digits," the Two-Time read from a $5 donation message, before snapping at the Twitch user.
- Read More: Fortnite and that's a pathetic dream of yours. Get the hell out of my channel. You ain't nothing. I'm everything."
Just when the donator thought it couldn't get worse than that hilarious backstory Doc had given them, it appeared as if he might well have pulled out the ban hammer on the Twitch user.
"Seeya! Thanks for the five bucks, stupid dum dum. Idiot. Seeya," the streamer said, with a huge grin on his face.
Clearly, Dr Disrespect wasn't in the mood to be reading that type of comment during his stream, but it's unclear as to why it ticked him off so much. Maybe he was just fooling around.

Recent commentary in New In Chess magazine suggests the ever increasing dependence on the chess computer to both analyze and prepare oneself for tournament play, especially at the top GM level. As one who learned from book study, my own personal analysis of game play I reviewed, and what has found it's way into published game analysis in magazine articles, I thought I would try to apply my theory of square count to some of the suggestions and conclusions that the writer draws from the magic of the keyboard and electronic brain.
The American chess whiz , 23-year old Hikaru Nakamura won his first Grand Slam tournament and could the fact that he wears suits or slacks and jacket contribute to this breaking out of the pack? Afterall, Fischer's dress suit was a Fischer trademark at tournaments as he himself matured into manhood.
An interesting game to select is between World Champion Viswanathan Anand and the newest youngster to breeze his way unto the scene of top chess, Anish Giri, one of a number of future giants of the chessboard.
White: V. Anand vs. Black A. Giri was contested in the recently concluded Wijk aan Zee, 2011, tournament inwhich I shall examine the opening specifically for this article.
1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 e6 5. Bg5 h6 6. Bxf6 Qxf6 7. e3 Black choses the Slav and more classic approach rather than his more frequent Indian type systems suggests hopefully to perhaps confuse his opponent with his intentions.
7. … g6!? This move seems to be finding favorable testing in recent contests. Yet, can this move really be good compared to 7. … Nd7 with the idea of …Bd6 employment of the Bishop?
8. Bd3 Bg7 Giri decides to the enter into an Indian-type deployment.
9. O-O O-O 10. Rc1 dxc4 I really think this move is a mistake as it releases the tension and exchanges the center pawn for the c-pawn.
11. Bxc4 Nd7 Giri notes that the position now takes shape of hundreds of games featuring this position.
Here, the main question what are the salient features? The pawn structure of white assures White a solid d4 square supported by the e-pawn. Now, lets examine the idea of Square Count as to this position. White has some moves to expand his own count by 12. e4 or he can simply set up a defensive feature of square count of protecting the b4 square and making room for the Bishop to retreat to a2 if attacked by playing the quiet 12. a3. Most likely the computer goes for the aggressive 12. e4 which is what Anand played. After 12. … c5! Black can strike the center pawn structure which was slightly weakened by the pawn advance. White can then initiate a central attack after due preparation by some jump move ideas planning Qe2 >Rfd1 >e4 or maybe a timely Nfd2 > f3> e4 as a distant plan to consider.
The actual game continued: 12. e4 c5 13. d5 Nb6 14. b3 exd5 15. Nxd5 Qd8 16. h3 Nxc4 And Black obtains the two Bishops versus the Knight pair. Still, Giri here suggests completely equal is 16. … Be6.
At this point a lot fireworks got introduced into the battle but after a long struggle of ups and downs, the game position petered out to a hard fought draw.
Alekine, Botvinnik, Capablanca, Kasparov, Karpov and many others often emphasize in their writings which appeared in magazines and or books that one should prepare a launch into an attack by bringing into the fray as much armor as posssible and practical to carry out a plan. As I point out in much of my writings, square count is a valuable tool for the student in such planned operations. In the above example, right or wrong, a viable alternative to Anand's effort in this game would be to prepare, prepare, prepare the invasion with back-up forces prior to engaging the enemy units. This, the computer does not convey to the learning student but must be reenforced by masters of the chessboard through the written word!

The functional role of the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus in acoustic processing
Burger, Robert Michael, 1971-
MetadataShow full item record
The mammalian auditory system is composed of a number of parallel and serial pathways devoted to processing different aspects of acoustic signals. The focus of this dissertation is to examine the interactions among nuclei in the pathway devoted to processing interaural intensity disparities (IIDs), the cue animals use to localize high frequency sounds. IIDs are processed by neurons that are excited by sound in one ear and inhibited by sound in the other and thus are referred to as EI neurons. EI response properties are the dominant response feature expressed in three interconnected nuclei that process IIDs; the lateral superior olive (LSO), the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL), and the inferior colliculus (IC). While EI properties are first formed in the LSO, recent studies have shown that EI properties are either modified or created de novo in the ICc through a convergence of inputs from lower nuclei. A prominent GABAergic input from the DNLL provides roughly 30% of the inhibitory innervation to the IC and has been shown to influence IID processing. While this degree of convergence indicates a significant amount of processing, the EI properties expressed in the ICc are strikingly similar to those observed in the LSO. Thus, the central question of these studies is: What is the functional significance of the convergence at the IC if response properties are so similar to those observed below? A possible answer to this question was proposed by Yang and Pollak, following the discovery of a response feature of the DNLL referred to as persistent inhibition. Persistent inhibition is a long lasting inhibition evoked by signals that favor the inhibitory ear. Their hypothesis predicts that ICc neurons that derive their EI properties from DNLL input will differentially process IIDs for multiple signals emanating from different regions of space. Here I confirm this hypotheses with recordings from the auditory system of Mexican-free tailed bats, where I blocked GABAergic inhibition at the IC as well as reversibly inactivated the DNLL while recording from IC neurons. I show that reception of an initial signal reconfigures the IID circuitry by functionally inactivating the DNLL, thereby depriving a population of IC cells of their inhibitory input, and temporarily transforming their EI properties. This property of the DNLL may provide one of the neural mechanisms that underlie the precedence effect.

The rate of automobile related fatalities in the United States is at an all-time low. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2008 highway death count dropped by 9.7% from the 2007 figure. That being said, the number stands at 37,261 automobile fatalities last year alone. And yet, hundreds of thousands more will suffer significant and severe injuries as a result of an auto accident this year.
The events leading up to the crash seem to happen in the blink of an eye. Among the most common causes of automobile crashes is something referred to is distracted driving. A sampling of common driver distractions includes talking on a cell phone, radio adjustment, rubber necking, and driver fatigue. Rounding out most lists of most common causes of automobile accidents, after drunk driving, is speeding, aggressive driving, and bad weather. With the exception of weather and drunk driving, all of these factors are 100% avoidable. You can do your part by never engaging in such activities.
The State of Florida is also doing its part to save lives and prevent serious injury .Florida has joined other states, including New York, Georgia, California, in employing what's known as primary enforcement laws for safety belt use. Previously, Florida drivers could only be issued a ticket regarding failure of seat belt use if they were pulled over for another offense. As of June 30, 2009 however, drivers can be pulled over and issued a fine of $30 for a safety belt violation alone. The intent behind the law is to save lives and serious injury. In order to avoid such a fine, make sure that you and everyone in your vehicle is seat-belted at all times.
While accidents happen, we all can do our part to make the roads of Florida a safer place for each and every one of us. You can do your part by complying with the new seatbelt law, and making sure everyone is buckled up. You can also make sure you do not engage in aggressive driving and speeding.
And, if unfortunately, you've been the victim of an auto accident, contact us today for help with your case, by calling us at 855-What-Next (855-942-8639), and get free legal advice on what your options and rights are following your accident.

We did it. This is the house!
The preliminary papers have been signed. The closing will be in a few weeks but we can't do anything to the property until then and we're excited to get started. I'll be sharing more photos as soon as we have the keys in our hands.
I'll try to answer the questions in the last post's comments. We'll not be living in this house, but our daughter will be. She's very excited about fixing it up and can't wait to get started. We bought the property as an investment as we feel like the barn and lot alone are worth the price we paid. There are a lot of things that need fixing, but BG can do a lot himself and Kim has friends who will help out, too.
The house is small. Just 950 square feet upstairs and 900 sq ft in the basement. The basement was finished at one time, but it needs to be gutted since there is a mold problem due to a broken water pipe. We have someone lined up to clean that mess up. As far as we know, that is the biggest problem. Keeping our fingers crossed there is nothing else we don't know about.
This is the back of the double car garage and storage shed. You can see the barn over the roof of the garage. The vines and weeds will all be cleared away. The young couple who previously lived there did nothing to the yard so parts of it looks like a jungle.
I love the barn. It's approximately 45 ft by 21 ft. Very sturdy with a stairway going to a loft. Lots of possibilities there!
Our two week vacation out west/southwest will be postponed and I'm fine with that. We will be going on a short vacay to rest up a bit before the work begins. Oh, I'm so excited! I can hardly wait until closing so we can get started!
In other news...my poor uncle fell and broke his other hip last night. He fell out of his bed at the nursing home where he was recovering from his previous broken hip. He is having surgery this afternoon and his son will be at the hospital. I'll be taking my aunt tomorrow to see him. Please whisper a prayer for him and for my aunt who is not in good health and having to deal with this. Thank you!
Happy Tuesday to you!

As cars become more connected through GPS, smart screens, and IoT, auto cybersecurity is rapidly becoming a critical industry pain-point. Most cars on the road today have over 100 electrical control units (ECUs) and many retain connectivity through Bluetooth, cellular, Wi-Fi, and remote keyless entry. This connectivity has the potential for vulnerabilities — and the risk only increases the more connected cars become.
A NewtonX survey of autonomous vehicle executives/senior engineers found that the number of connected car shipments will reach well over 60M by 2020 (up 15M from 2018). This, combined with the increased sophistication of hackers, will contribute to a $6B auto cybersecurity market. The industry is relatively new today, but is projected to grow enormously over the next ten years.
Hacking Cars is Much Easier Than Many Vehicle Software Providers Realize
In April 2019, a hacker by the pseudonym L&M broke into 27,000 GPS tracker app accounts. The access enabled them to monitor the locations of tens of thousands of vehicles, and turn the engines off of some of them while they were in motion. While the hacker was an 'ethical hacker' — meaning they had no intent of leveraging the access for malicious causes, but rather sought to expose the GPS trackers' vulnerabilities — the incident demonstrated the extent to which many auto softwares can be manipulated. The hacker also scraped user data including real names, phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses.
This incident was not isolated. The number of cyber attacks on connected cars is growing: in 2018 over 70 attacks occurred, and already in 2019 70 more attacks have been reported. More than 25% of these attacks were conducted through cars' cloud servers or mobile apps, and roughly a quarter of the attacks gave the attacker control of car systems.
The NewtonX survey revealed that a primary motivation for many hackers is the collection of personal data: names, emails, addresses, bank information, passwords, etc. There has yet to be an attack that intends to disrupt traffic or kill a driver/passenger, but the possibility is very much there. Indeed, in 2015 two researchers hacked a Jeep and forced the car to run itself into a ditch, resulting in the recall of 1.4M cars
Incidents such as this have contributed to growing investment in the auto cybersecurity market. For instance, GuardKnox, an Israeli startup, recently raised $21M in Series A funding to provide cybersecurity solutions to the auto industry, including fleet management systems. The company's Secure Network Orchestrator (SNO) is an end-to-end solution that secures the car's internetwork communications by using deterministic routing and contextual layers to reject data that appears fishy.
Other companies, such as Argus and Trillium likewise offer cybersecurity services to vehicle fleets and car manufacturers. Karamba Security offers a solution that simply ignores commands outside the scope of predefined functions to protect cars from hostile takeovers. IOActive, another auto cybersecurity firm, implements various levels of access controls in order to prevent a hacker who, for instance, gains access to a part of the car via Bluetooth to move onto controlling other systems or gaining control of the car.
With Little Regulation, Auto Cyber Security Will Be Customer-Driven
The US and EU have both published guidelines for the operation and protection of connected vehicles, but compliance with these guidelines is not mandatory. However, there are market developments (and, of course, liability concerns) that are pushing AV and connected car manufacturers to value cyber-security.
Software naturally lends itself to a longer relationship between vendor and customer. Where a traditional car from 20 years ago could continue running just fine long after the manufacturer has stopped supporting it, connected cars need ongoing support for their electronic systems in the case of bugs, updates, and vulnerabilities.
This shift in how vendors relate to their customers will increasingly make vehicle cybersecurity and post-sale support for cyber security a competitive differentiator. Even if regulation is late to the game, vehicle hacker protection will undergo meteoric growth as AV's hit the streets.

We have a group policy applied to all users. This group policy has several "lock down" settings enabled and/or disabled. When we run the RSoP against a computer with and a user affected by the policy, we see what is expected: Several settings enabled/disabled
and the winning GPO listed.
However, when we open the winning GPO to edit some of these settings, we find that most of the settings are unconfigured. We then select this GPO and look at the settings tab and confirm the same.
We have rerun the RSoP from several domain controllers and see the same data. The same policies are applied in RSoP, the same GPO is credited and the same credited GPO when opened or examined does not show the same settings. We fear that there is some corruption
that goes beyond just this one GPO.
Is this a common issue? What could cause it? What troubleshooting steps should we follow?
We have checed replication and dcdiag and have found no errors.

|I'm the Best
Many Republican establishment leaders were on TV yesterday morning stating that Trump's statements did not reflect American values. Some stated that his views did not represent who they were and issued similar statements of condemnation, even though it must be pointed out that none of them came out outright to stated that because of this and other past incendiary rhetoric, if Trump were to ever become the party's presidential candidate they would not support him. Only few major Republican donors have come out to say as much. The rest of the Republican establishment is left confused and unable to react in any meaningful way to a candidate who is sounding like a far right nationalist fringe candidate every day, but still dominates the party polls by a wide margin.
Over the past few months, Donald Trump has decided to let correct political talk aside and touch raw nerves by saying exactly what many in the Republican Party secretly believe but most of their candidates are too scared to say.
Trump starting by launching a frontal assault on Mexican immigrants as mostly being the worst sort of criminals their country breeds; petty thieves and rapists, who their own government was eager to get rid off and was only too happy to push them to the US. To control the influx of these criminal elements he would build a wall which he would force the Mexican government to pay for. He then attacked one of the most respected members of the Republican Party Senator John McCain as not being a war hero but spent most of the war as a prisoner. He has even less respect for the other Republican contenders. In his view they were all either too weak, low energy, didn't have a clue or were just outright stupid.
In Trump's view, the solution of the problem in the Middle East was to bomb the areas and "take their oil." Remarkably, in spite all these outlandish statements, Trump's fate in the polls has only been boosted by the extremity of his incendiary statements. Now political pundits are saying once again that Trump may have finally reached his Waterloo by calling for an outright ban on Muslims entering the country and sounding everyday like the European fascist leaders who dragged their countries into the bloodbath and global catastrophes that were the First and Second World Wars.
But is Trump fading really true or is it just what the party establishment and the media would like to see? As far as I can see, Trump,s momentum currently seems unstoppable and he is just energizing the same crowd who for years have been led to believe that President Obama was born in Kenya, that the President was a Muslim and that Muslim values were totally un-American, the same crowd that gave us Senator Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and the rest of the Tea Party politicians. Only this time they seem to have found a Presidential candidate they can believe in.

Only this time they seem to have found a Presidential candidate they can believe in.
Wise men say you reap what you sow. For many years the Republican establishment has allowed Tea Party rhetoric to slowly replace their compassionate conservative message. They have had politicians like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann tell their traditional voters that this country was no longer theirs and they have to "take it back." Politicians like Ted Cruz have been beating the drum all these years that Christian values were under attack by liberal leftist ideologues. Fox News has spent the last five years stoking every fear of a people who feel that their conservative ways were under attack, their religious institutions were under assault and alien ways were taking over the country. If you think that Donald Trump is extreme, then you must not have been listening to people like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, and the spin masters of right wing ideology who have for years preyed on the fears of the conservative base that Obama and his left wing liberal, Muslim loving and Christian hating ideologues were out to tear down their values. There has even been talk of Obama trying to secretly allow the imposition of Sharia Law into the country.
Many people today see what Trump is saying and draw parallels with Hitler's rhetoric that drew the world into the most bloody conflict in the history of mankind. Unfortunately Trump has just given popular face to the teachings of Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and the rest of the conservative ideologues. He has at last brought Tea Party ideology into the mainstream and the establishment is panicking. Isn't it any wonder that even where the party establishment gives these weak denunciations of Trump, Fox News, the major party mouthpiece never outrightly condemns him, but would instead shift the focus on Benghazi and Black Lives Matter? Is it any surprise that best Selling Conservative authors Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin have both endorsed Donald Trump? Ann Coulter is one of the best selling conservative authors in this country. Is there anything Trump says that Coulter has not said or written in her popular books?
The Republican Party has for many years courted fringe hate groups at the local level to win elections. Now that hate has come on the national stage, propagated by a candidate who does not give a damn about what anybody thinks as long as he is appealing to his audience, they are all rushing to say " this is not who we are!" Well the truth is this may not be who you are, but unfortunately this is what you have become. If you don't see yourself this way, take a mirror and look very closely, because this is what many of us see when we look at you. As they say, you reap what you sow.

Albuterol is used to treat or prevent bronchospasm in patients with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung diseases. This medicine is also used to prevent wheezing caused by exercise (exercise-induced bronchospasm). Albuterol belongs to the family of medicines known as adrenergic bronchodilators. Adrenergic bronchodilators are medicines that are breathed in through the mouth to open up the bronchial tubes (air passages) in the lungs. They relieve cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing by increasing the flow of air through the bronchial tubes. This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription. Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, albuterol is used in certain patients with the following medical condition: Hyperkalemia (too much potassium in the blood).

Meet the NrbBUS: The double-decker with a thousand stories to tell
The NrbBUS is unlike any other place to work, a normal 9-5 it is not, and we know we are incredibly fortunate. So, when asked to describe a normal day in the week by 'Nairobi Design Week' it was a light challenge we were very happy to tackle.
We are a media production company, Cultural Video Productions, based in Kenya since 2000. Our new location is in General Mathenge Lane; we are very easy to spot behind the white gate partly as our double decker bus 'turned office' sticks out like a Giraffe in the savannah.
Our first feature film 'WAZI?FM', on Urban Refugees received the Golden Dhow at the 18th Zanzibar Film Festival and was selected at DISCOP Johannesburg 2017 as 'Best Pilot Series'.
There was also the highly acclaimed Connection House, awarded at the Roma Web Fest 2016 and the Berlin Web Fest 2017 as best web comedy. We are immensely proud of these projects amongst many others during this fertile period, however we are incredibly excited for what the future has in store for us.
The Nairobi Bus on the road
The BUS has had some journey to get to where it is today. Not only did it give us our lodestar but our history as well. Our director and founder, Vincenzo Cavallo also known as Dr.Farasi or Dr.Faras by his Somali followers, managed to save this 1969 London double-decker bus from the scrap heap after a moment of inspiration to turn this clapped out bit of scrap into a slick and high end moveable studio in 2013. Since that moment the BUS cut its teeth in Muthiti Road, this is where we gained our reputation as the place to let your creative juices flow with workshops, film screenings and art exhibitions.
The BUS soon outgrew our Muthiti setting and found its new home at the Alchemist in 2016 – here we became something more then Filmmakers, creating events, screenings and much more for the lucky revellers of the Alchemist. One of our greatest achievements was our Movie Night on Tuesdays – it is very popular, with Q&As, Filmmakers discussing their projects, a partnership with the Foreign Correspondents of East Africa and we can proudly say it is still up and running today.
Nairobi Space Makers, a VR documentary series based in Kenya.
Febuary 13th was an exceptionally crazy day, even by our standards. We were joined by two of our partners: Somali React and BlackRhino VR. Together, we created a virtual reality experience and tour of the NrbBUS. In our usual style this was a comical morning, topped off with the team donning VR headsets, dancing and being filmed. The video will be shared on our Facebook for those who would like to laugh at our expense. You will even be able to download it and watch it in your VR headset if you have one and if not, come over and you can use ours.
We shot a little teaser that will be presented at the Berlinale AfricaHUB where we have been invited to present TheNrbBUS and its latest productions.
We started by producing 'Maskaniflani', a musical documentary about public space in Kenya and then we produced 'Twende Berlin', another musical documentary about Gentrification in Berlin from an African perspective.
We at Cultural Video Productions and Black Rhino VR are very excited about our new partnership. Our new project is called Nairobi Space Makers and is a VR documentary series about space makers in Kenya.
NrbBUS x Somali React
Somali React are one of our proud partners, they create hilarious and entertaining clips, sketches and shorts for their followers on Facebook and Youtube, out of Eastleigh in Nairobi. It's all very entertaining and original to Nairobi. Our plan together is to make a feature length film about Somalia in Nairobi called "Bufis".
Using this format we want to address the incredibly relevant issue of the Green Card Lottery in the US. It's going to be another dramedy in which we will try to make you cry and laugh at the same time.
NrbBUS x BlackRhino VR
With BlackRhino VR there is even more going on, we are planning to turn the BUS into a VR camp, where 10 students a year will be able to learn about VR story-telling development, production and post-production.
This, plus the first VR series on 'Space Making in Africa' will launch TheNrbBus as a rocket in the orbit of the creative space, to become a planetary level creative think tank to whatever you want.
There is a lot more to add but we are the kind of people who talk little and do a lot, so come over and be overwhelmed by our incredible discrepancy, we are a chilled out and dedicated collective, especially when we play our table tennis sessions.
This is a guest post by Alex Mann of the NrbBUS, it has been edited for brevity and clarity.
If you'd like us to attend your event, contribute or be featured, please contact us and we'll be excited to share your story.

Why I leave Bitcoin Unlimited
It has become a tradition that people leaving Bitcoin Unlimited write a farewall post. The first post was from a developer who left BU in 2016 (and has later worked on Bitcoin Private), and recently we had a wave of ABC developers leaving Bitcoin Unlimited.
Now I leave, too, and I will write about my reasons. The truth is: Andrew Stone, Andrea Suisana, Peter Rizun, Peter Tschipper and Andrew Clifford are some of the people with most integrity in crypto. I have nothing but good words about them, and I will forever be thankful for what they have done. It was always a pleasure to interact with them, be it in chats, in forums or on conferences. They are polite, reasonable, helpful, honest, competent and carry a vision.
But I did not join BU in early 2016 to get friends. I joined because I liked the vision of having a client which is compatible with any hard fork to come (I did not expect other hardforks than blocksize-liftings to happen), and the vision to get the blocksize limit out of consensus, leave it to an emergent consensus instead of a developer consensus and solve the problem once and for all.
During the years I have always run one or several Bitcoin Unlimited nodes. I participated in the slack discussion, shared my experiences with running a node with Bitcoin Unlimited developers and enjoyed the communication with them. I wrote several release notes for Bitcoin Unlimited and am the author of the FAQ on the website. On my blog (bitcoinblog.de) I defended Bitcoin Unlimited against the numerous rumors and accusations when BU was the spearheading big block client in late 2016. It was a pleasure to help the project.
Some weeks ago I realized that the vision of Bitcoin Unlimited has been fulfilled. Some miners on Bitcoin SV (BSV) mined a series of blocks bigger than 120mb, but the blocks got orphaned. What many people painted as a failure was a massive success for me: Orphans and reorgs create a natural blocksize limit for Bitcoin, exactly as Peter Rizun and Andrew Stone predicted in papers released in late 2015. The system is working. It doesn't need a blocksize limit at all. With BSV we have a Bitcoin network running an emergent consensus. Mission fulfilled.
I realized there is a minumum requirement for emergent consensus: The blocksize limit must be above what the network can handle. As long as the miners are not able to produce blocks which are too big and get orphaned, we have a developer set limit: A committee of developer decides how much traffic the miners are allowed to produce. When the miners must find the limit for themselves, and test, touch the borders, pay for producing too big blocks - then we have an emergent consensus. Then the mechanic of orphans and reorgs comes into play.
The developers of Bitcoin ABC made it very clear on a lot of occassions, that they will never tolerate a limit which is higher than what the network can handle. They insist on being the developer committee which examines what the network can carry and prohibit the miners to produce more. This makes the vision of ABC fundamentally incompatible with the vision of Bitcoin Unlimited. ABC developers do not even understand the economic role of orphans, as Andrew and Peter researched long ago, which is demonstrated that they want to reduce orphan rate before lifting the limit. Since ABC's role as a dictator of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is strengthened after the November hard fork, there are not much chances that Bitcoin Unlimited will succeed in furthering its vision on Bitcoin Cash.
In general, this would not be so bad. 32mb is far above the demand, and having it could be a nice compromise, a much better compromise than Classic's 2mb, which Bitcoin Unlimited supported in 2016. However, it is not enough, when you have a better alternative: A Bitcoin blockchain with an emergent consensus.
You would expect that Bitcoin Unlimited cheered when a Bitcoin blockchain realized its vision. That they move energy toward it, that they invest their resources to push their superior scaling technology like Graphene or ParVal to the BSV chain, participate in the Scaling-Testnet and help to move the natural limits of what a bitcoin blockchain can carry.
But - no. This did not happen. Instead of celebrating that BSV proofs their thesis in the wild, Peter Rizun and Andrew Stone seem to find it more favorable to distance from the thesis which have become founding stones of Bitcoin Unlimited. And instead of putting resources into pushing the limits of emergent consensus, Bitcoin Unlimited members voted to drop support for BSV completely. Emergent consensus - but without Bitcoin Unlimited.
After the recent vote Bitcoin Unlimited reduced their choices of activity on a chain dominated by a development group which acts hostile toward Bitcoin Unlimited. A group which is known for producing bugs, while accusing Bitcoin Unlimited developers - which fixed their bugs - of incompetence. A group which has a history of rejecting things because they are from Bitcoin Unlimited, of replacing Bitcoin Unlimited's work with inferior work from other groups, of voting in malice in Bitcoin Unlimited ballots, of taking every chance to slander Bitcoin Unlimited in public and so on. Getting volontarily in total dependence of this group seems like a very bad move strategically and politically.
It might be helpful, though, to focus energy on one chain. It might also be helpful to distance from BSV and its nightmarish leaders to integrate better in the BCH community. Being focused on BCH might also help to gain influence over the direction of the project. So maybe it was a good vote for BU, the organization, and BCH, the coin. I am sure the BU officials have their reasons, and I fully respect it.
But this is not what is interesting for me. For me Bitcoin Unlimited was a vehicle to free the blocksize limit from developer consensus and hand it over to emergent consensus. This will not happen with ABC's Bitcoin Cash, but has happened with Bitcoin SV. It is sad for me to see Bitcoin Unlimited acting against its own founding vision. But this is what has happened, and I honestly hope that it will make the live of the Bitcoin Unlimited developers and offials easier.
Thank you for all you have done, and best luck on Bitcoin Cash.

Well written, Christoph.
I was disappointed over the outcome of the vote too. I think what we are seeing here, is the developers and officers of BU turning into technocrats that want to have power over the protocol itself. They don't want the BSV roadmap of a protocol set in stone. They prefer to fight with ABC over protocol power.
I believe this agenda may be conscious or not. They may not understand it, because a small power hungry voice inside don't want them to understand.
I hope you'll keep posting in the GCBU-thread!

Thanks for writing this. I had arguments with BCH folk over the re-org on BSV. Even some really smart people over there have been lead to believe that a re-org is a bad thing. Sure, if you are getting large re-orgs constantly, then you have an issue, but it's in miner's own interests to resolve that so they don't waste money mining an inferior branch. The entities that invest in the network and secure it and have an economic incentive to do all of that are surely the best ones to decide what they can and cannot handle.
I think that perhaps some BCH folk can see the argument, but they just don't want to admit/accept it, because that would mean that they would have to acknowledge a flaw in the system (BCH) that they are invested in.

There are tons of different types of frozen desserts and ice cream. Do you know what they all are, and what makes them special? Check out this quick list for basic definitions of each of the frozen desserts.
Expanded definitions are available for many of these items. Click through the links to read more about the history and making of the desserts, and to find some great examples of recipes for each one.
Frozen Custard – Frozen custard is a type of ice cream that uses eggs or egg yolks to give it a richer and creamier texture.
Gelato – Gelato is an Italian frozen dessert that is similar to ice cream, but it has a lower fat content and less air churned into than ice cream. This gives it a rich, dense texture.
Granita – Granitas are a shaved ice frozen dessert. They have the consistency of coarse sand and are easy to make. Lemon and coffee are both popular flavors.
Ice Cream – Ice cream is one of the most basic frozen desserts. It is made with milk, cream, sugar, and flavorings that are churned to freeze the mixture and incorporate air.
Ice Cream Bombe – An ice cream bombe is made of three or more layers of ice cream or sorbet, molded into a dome shape. The bombe is sliced like a pie to serve, so that you can see all the different layers.
Ice Pops – Most people know ice pops because of their experience with Popsicles® as a child. These treats are typically made with fruit juice that is frozen onto a stick. You can also purchase reusable plastic ice pop molds, so you can make great treats on a regular basis.
Molded Desserts – Molded desserts are frozen desserts that use a pan or mold to shape them into a particular form. Many molded desserts are common treats, like ice cream cakes and pies.
Semifreddo – Semifreddo means "half-frozen" and is a frozen dessert that you can make without any special equipment.
It uses a custard base mixed with whipped cream to create a mousse that is frozen and sliced.
Sherbet – Sherbet is similar to sorbet, but it has an element of dairy to give it a creamier finished texture. It is made with fruit juice, sugar, and either milk or cream as the basic ingredients.
Sorbet – Sorbet is a fruit-based frozen dessert. It is typically made with fruit juice or puree, water and sugar that are churned like ice cream.

How to start an activity
After entering the preparation page for an outdoor activity such as running, the watch will automatically search for the GPS signal. Once the signal is obtained, tap GO to start running. After entering an indoor activity such as an elliptical trainer, tap GO to start the activity.
The watch will search for a GPS signal continuously for 3 minutes. If this time elapses without successful positioning, it will ask you to re-position. After 20 minutes of inactivity, the watch will stop searching to conserve the battery. If you continue to use it, you need to re-search.
GPS positioning should be done in an open area in the outdoor. We recommend searching GPS before starting an activity. If you are in a crowd, raising your arm to your chest will accelerate the positioning.


text: Last night, I had the chance to watch Julia and was hating it and loving it at the same time. It hurt to see somebody so fucked up and trying (failing) to keep it together. Also, the pain she caused others was hard to bear. Maybe because I can personally relate, it was easy to love the character Tilda Swinton created with her masterful (again) acting. Watching her swirl down the toilet was painful bliss and when she crashed through the border wall I laughed with the cruel glee of pity. I hit rewind over and over to understand what "I'm going to take you to your mother" meant in the end. It revealed much that she could stick to her story so completely knowing it was a lie. Now that's an odd moral.

Hi Kar Yan Goh.
First, your attempt to get out of your comfort zone is admirable and an increasingly desirable trait in today's workforce.
Second, there are few things I would recommend:
But first, get this matter sorted: are you trying to explore something that is out of your work-scope or are you doing something related to your work duties?
1. Find out things that may interest you and pick something that would have practical and positive returns in the future.
2. Find a service (free is preferred -YouTube-, paid if you must) that offers a comprehensive introduction to that subject.
3. Start with the material you find.
4. Build up your depository of questions. These questions should be sufficient to expand your understanding of the subject matter
5. Keep pushing for more questions and answers.
6. You will get to a point that would enable you to have connections with websites, individuals, social groups, experts and others that would be able to expand your knowledge.
7. Try to find a way to apply the knowledge gained into your work.
Let's take a look at a simple example:
1. Say you pick (PowerPoint) as the subject you would like to learn. You feel that you know it, but you want to improve and develop excellent presentation preparation skills and solid storytelling ability.
Say you have 3 weeks to do so. Your goal is to gain skills that would enable you to create fantastic high-level presentations.
2. Start with a search on google and youtube (How to create professional presentations with PowerPoint).
Interesting results would be things like:
- PowerPoint School (YouTube)
- PowerPoint Pro (YouTube)
- PowerPoint from Lynda.com - Paid (great courses!)
3. Do your homework
4. Start asking complicated questions about PowerPoint Presentation building
5. How can you make a presentation that is good enough to present at maybe (Ted Talks or a professional business conference)?
6. You will be able to have a list of websites, individuals, social groups, experts and others who do FANTASTIC presentations
7. Find a way to apply these skills in your company's work IMMEDIATELY.
For example:
- Your company has a sales deck.
- If your boss doesn't want you to do any changes, take it as a personal task **outside of your work** (don't affect your work)
- Build it based on what you learned and find the time to show it to your colleagues in the sales team (pick the right people)
- Get their feedback (some people will resent you, some people will not like it, some people will think you don't know what you're doing) - Do not bother about negative feedback.
- Amend the presentation based on some of the positive and constructive feedback
- Find the time to talk to your superior.
- Tell your superior about what you have been doing and how it is helping you.
- Show your superior the presentation you prepared and get the professional opinion.
This should be sufficient to get you started and out of your comfort zone. You are taking initiative, challenging yourself, learning something good, engaging with others, showing your superior officer that you have what it takes to move to the next level professionally.
I hope this helps and sorry for the long message.
Best of luck!

Hi Kar Yan,
Good day. As I am reading your question over and again, I guess the advice/suggestion that you are looking for is how to 'constantly feel uncomfortable'.
Maybe let's set a common understanding of the term 'comfort zone', then we'll see if we are agreeable on our context and understanding. That will decide how relatable my following advice will be working for you.
Comfort zone is a state when one feels at ease. There is nothing new, there is no challenge, there is no growth, and one is just being completely stagnant in his or her work.
So, to be 'uncomfortable', or even being 'constantly feel uncomfortable' is to drive oneself to be hungry for change; change to be better, to do things differently, to achieve higher. There are many ways we can do to get out of the comfort zone but often enough we sink at a guilty point where we got comfortable and forget to challenge/improve ourselves. (Mike in his earlier answers gave some really powerful advice on 'how to' go out from that comfort zone.) So constantly reminding ourselves to 'get out' is necessary and here are some of the tips that I have been practising, I hope it will help:
1. Boring is your best trigger:
No matter what is your given assignment, task, or role, there should always be an excitement factor. You know you are learning something new. You know you are now doing it a little differently than before. You know there are routine was improved in some ways.
When you no longer feel it that way and feel bored on the routine that is unchanged, you know you need to start looking out.
2. Plan your day and plan your days ahead:
Every morning, try to give yourself time, maybe just a short 5 minutes to review how your day is going to be. Is this going to 'just another day'? If it is, then what can you do differently than how it has always been done?
At the beginning of every month (or a specific timeline), look at what has been done for the last month (previous period), and what can be done better or more this month (coming period).
3. Ask the 'how would [someone] do it?' question:
Remind yourself of your role model. He or she can be a famous person, a mentor, a successful figure around you, or just your superior.
From there, have a habit of asking yourself, 'if this task is given to him/her, how would he/she do it'?
To make it better, if you can't think of an answer, you could even discuss this question with someone or that person him/herself to inspire your thought process.
Lastly, as a generic rule, be ambitious but start small. I always go with a rule of 3. That make things practical. You'll hear from a lot of people on tips and tricks on stuff. Keep to yourself 3 that you know you will be committed to, then work from there. Being greedy in this sense will cause you to lose focus on your goal and defeat the purpose of why you get started.
I hope this help answers your doubt. Feel free to get in touch.

Hi Kar Yan,
Thanks for the tag in this.
The way I do this is quite straightforward, I think about the person I want to become in the future and I think about what that person would be doing regularly with ease that currently makes me nervous, anxious, or fearful. I then seek out opportunities that stretch me and put me in these 'stressful' situations.
For example, If I'm nervous about speaking in front of large crowds I would actively seek out speaking engagements or, If I struggle to engage with people in networking events and it makes me anxious I would sign up for multiple networking sessions.
Put simply, seek out things that make you nervous/ anxious, then do them.
