Sometime around 1992, The American movie studio got the fights to use the Godzilla character. Director Jan de Bont (the director of Speed and Twister) along with writers Terry Rossio and Ted Eliott (known for Aladdin and The Mask of Zorro) where they had several ideas for their take on how to depict the Godzilla character and what the story was going to be about. Godzilla's origin in the film was completely different from previous incarnation since Godzilla in this film would have been a bio-weapon created by an ancient alien civilization of to protect earth from alien invaders at was but in suspended hibernation. The movie had a decent budget since the film crew required the assistance of special make-up effects creator Stan Winston who worked on films such as the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, the Hish-Qu-Ten from the Predator films, and the various Terminator models from the first few Terminator films.
The main story revolved around a group of scientists who go to Alaska and find a giant creature (which turns out to be Godzilla) frozen in a state of hibernation. At some point the creature would of awaken unintentionally killing the group of scientist with the exception of one (the main character) and proceed to head out towards Japan. While there the creature would go on a rampage, one of the survivors calls the creature Godzilla since the survivor recognizing him from an ancient Japanese legend depicting Godzilla fighting another monster called the Gryphon. 12 years pass and the two survivors get roped into military operations and proceed to figure out a way to stop Godzilla. At some point in the script an alien object would appear at Lake Apopka and absorbs a whole colony of bats turning them into 12 foot creatures that would go out and find other animals to absorb in order to get bigger. Thought a series of events Godzilla would end up attacking San Francisco and get captured. The military would transport Godzilla near New York where it would battle the alien menace now dubbed the Gryphon and the two monsters would fight it out in New York City as predicted in the Japanese legend. Godzilla would end up killing the creature and go back to the ocean.
So one hand this sounds like a movie that would have been an interesting sight to see in theaters of 1994. When the script was done, Jan de Bont requested a huge budget for the movie; however the studio didn't give them the budget that they need to make the film. Sometime later the script was reworked and the studio wanted to have something that was more among the lines of the dinosaurs that were seen in Jurassic Park. Tri-Star got Roland Emmerich of the Independence Day to take over the project. The result was the 1998 release of Godzilla starring Matthew Broderick. When the film hit theaters, the film didn't do too well at the box office and many film critics and Godzilla fans responded negatively to the film. The Godzilla fans really the hated both the movie and the overall depiction of the Godzilla. Godzilla in the 1998 film looked more like one of the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park than the giant dinosaur that so many fans were used to seeing. Stan Winston's final design from the original script looked more the Toho counterpart than what the Americans had created. Shortly after words an animated TV show was created which got overall good reception from the Godzilla fans than the film which it was based on, bearing more resemblance to the original Godzilla fans were familiar with from firing his trademark atomic ray, being durable hide, and fought other giant monsters that the live action incarnation lacked.
With the release of the 1998 movie, Toho really didn't like the American depiction of Godzilla. So the studio decided to retaliate in one of three ways. The first was by bringing Godzilla out of retirement. In 1999 after the 1998 film, Toho released Godzilla 2000 where Godzilla would battle a UFO that turned into a deformed Godzilla clone called Orga. This kicked started the new era of Godzilla films called the Millennium series. This series of films was completely different from the two series before it since it was more of an anthology series of films where each film (with the exception of Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.) is set in its own timeline and follows-up the events of the original 1954 Godzilla film, but ignores the events of the Shōwa and Heisei eras. Also like the Heisei series not many newer monsters were introduced, if there were any most of them were either based off preexisting monsters, or Toho decided to reintroduce fan favorite monsters like Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla.
The second way Toho retaliated was talking about the monster's attack on New York City in the beginning of the 2001 movie Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack; with the American experts believing that it was the actual Godzilla while the Japanese don't. The third way Toho decided to retaliate was to just straight up buy the American Godzilla and just call him Zilla only to kill the creature in Godzilla: Final Wars. Sometime later IDW would get the rights to use various Godzilla monsters for their run of various Godzilla comics. In the first two issues of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Godzilla ends up fighting a new monster which turns out to be Zilla. However unlike the movie counterparts, Zilla puts up more of a fight against Godzilla than he did in Godzilla Final Wars.
After the release of 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars, marking the 50th anniversary of the Godzilla film franchise, just like the Heisei series Toho decided to retire the character again for a 10 year period. When the character went on retirement again, there was a rumor making is rounds on the internet that Yoshimitsu Banno (directed 1971's Godzilla vs. Hedorah) had secured the rights from Toho to make a 45 minute IMAX 3D film in which Godzilla would of fought against a creature called Deathla which was a monster that looked like a maroon colored Hedorah with a skull like face. The film was supposed to come out in 2009 but this only lead to the development of Legendary's 2014 Godzilla film.
With the release of the 2014 Godzilla film, it celebrated Godzilla's 60th anniversary. While 1998 Godzilla movie was universally hated film among both film critics and Godzilla fans. With the 2014 film there seems to be some mixed options. However the results of Americans making a Godzilla movie are a lot better this time around. Granted not everyone liked the movie but it was redemption for American that screwed up the beloved radioactive dinosaur. This movie also had an interesting build up as well since the new Godzilla film brought out a lot of the older fans. Garith Edwards himself a Godzilla fan only though there were a low number (like 100 people) of people who liked Godzilla as a whole. When the film was first announced, Godzilla fans all over started to come out of their hiding holes. Like a lot more people than the director thought of.
Also looking at the 2014 Godzilla movie, it does contain some elements from the original script from when Jan de Bont, Terry Rossio, and Ted Eliott were making it. At one point in the movie Godzilla arrivals and the military fight him off at the bridge in San Francisco. During the climax of the film, Godzilla killed the other monster by shooting his atomic ray down the other monsters throat bursting through the neck, severing the head from the body. And the fact that Godzilla been on Earth for so many years decided to appear once again to protect the earth from an oncoming theat. When the Americans first meet Godzilla, he was in a state of hibernation in Alaska, but with the superman reboot Man of Steel coming out the year before it basically has a scene were we see Clark Kent goes to the fortress of solitude in a winter landscape where a group of scientists investigating the space ship. The scene was cut out of the script. Also with the success of the 2014 film, Legendary is slated for a 2018 release which will feature other Toho monsters from Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah which sounds like it's going to be a remake of Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster. Legendary actually planning to do a King Kong spin off called Kong: Skull Island. All leading up to the 2020 release Godzilla vs. King Kong, a movie that's 58 years in the making. With the success of the 2014 American Godzilla film, Toho decided that it was time to bring the their beloved icon out of retirement for a summer 2016 release Godzilla Resurgence kicking off a new generation of Godzilla and and other giant monster films.

Master of Public Health - First class honours, PGDip Public Health (Māori Health) with distinction, BHSc (Physiotherapy)
Ko Ngāpuhi te iwi, ko Ngāti Hine te hapū, ko Mōtatau te marae, ko Hikurangi te Maunga, ko Taumarere te awa, ko Hineāmaru te tupuna. I am a Māori Health Researcher at Tōmaiora Māori Health Research Centre, Te Kupenga Hauora Māori (Department of Māori Health), University of Auckland. My previous research has included: Māori and Indigenous health and disability workforce development, cultural competence, mental health and cancer in Māori and Indigenous populations. I recently completed a Masters in Public Health entitled "Data Speaks: Predictors of success in tertiary education health study for Māori and Pacific students". I am currently completing a PhD in Public Health (Māori Health) investigating Māori participation in traditional Māori health practices (rongoā). Ongoing research interests include Māori health workforce development, traditional Māori health (rongoā), and addressing ethnic inequalities in health.
Research | Current
2016 - 2018 - PhD - Māori participation in traditional Māori health practices (rongoā)
Research supervisors: Dr Matire Harwood, Assoc. Prof. Leonie Pihama
This Kaupapa Maori research project aims to identify factors that influence Maori participation in traditional Maori health practices through focus groups, wananga and iwi data analysis. The research will develop distinctly Maori innovative resources that capture and enhance the creative potential of rongoa Maori. A sustainable and innovative rongoa Maori model will also be developed.The research findings will inform evidence-based policy and interventions to contribute to the development of traditional Maori health practices that are sustainable and meet current and future needs, and thereby improve Maori health outcomes.
2014 - 2015 - Total Cohort Analysis (TCA) - Exploring predictors of academic success for Māori and Pacific students within the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences.
Research supervisors: Dr Elana Curtis, Dr Donna Cormack.
This study explored how pre-tertiary, admission and early academic factors impact on academic success within tertiary health study. This Kaupapa Māori research project analysed data for 2686 Health Sciences, Pharmacy and Nursing students at the University of Auckland (2002 – 2012). Multiple regression analysis explored the predictive effect of admission variables such as school decile, type of admission, and bridging foundation programme participation on academic outcomes (e.g. GPA, graduated yes/no) for Māori, Pacific and non-Māori non-Pacific student ethnic groupings. Māori and Pacific students experienced increased and unique barriers to academic success when compared with non-Māori non-Pacific students. Clear disparities in academic outcomes between Māori and Pacific, and non-Māori non-Pacific student groupings were not fully explained when adjusting for predictor variables. This project adds detailed quantitative information for Māori, Pacific and non-Māori non-Pacific health professional students not previously available.
Erena currently works part-time as a research assistant to Tumuaki and HOD Māori Health Assoc. Prof. Papaarangi Reid and Dr Matire Harwood.

Today for Art day we learned about Primary and Secondary Colors. We watched the Blue's Clues Episode because I think the song is catchy. We then did Barrel Painting. We were supposed to do this with C, but I was sick of the barrels being in my kitchen so we did it today.
2 barrels (one cheese ball, one animal cracker)
2 Hot Wheels Cars
2 Bobby Pins
2 Arthurs (the Arthur figurines seem to be in every experiment)
2 Pennies
2 Q-tips
2 Legos
Washable Paint (I got this at Sam's and it had 15 packs of 6 paints for 11 dollars!)
Sketch Paper (not thick like cardstock, but not thin like computer paper)
After they were dry I cut them into strips and we made father's day cards and and framed the ones for our Art Wall. They turned out GREAT!
I think we will be doing this again soon. If anyone wants to borrow the barrels let me know! :)

So the other day a school owner on our email list forwarded me an email from another "Martial Arts Business Consultant."
I don't know the guy personally but I did send him an email letting him know that I would be "rebutting" his email.
The truth is I am not critic. As matter fact years ago when I heard Zig Ziglar say: "There has never been a statue dedicated to a critic" that pretty much shaped my opinion of critics.
At the very most I criticize the performance and not the performer.
This guy was saying how "Direct Marketing does not work for martial arts schools."
At the very least this is too general of a statement. At the very worst this is BAD ADVICE.
Before I get into the details I will ask…
So what does work for your martial arts business?
"In-Direct Marketing?" – LOL
Seriously, What Works? "Image Marketing" – "Branding?"
Of course the truth is a lot of marketing can work for your martial arts school…
- Expert Positioning
- Effective Internet Marketing
- Events
- Mobile Marketing
- Working in the Community with Organizations and Schools
- Fundraisers for Charities
The list is really long and yes – it does include "Direct Marketing."
Direct Marketing is simply going right to the end prospect with your message.
Going to them with compelling offers, benefits and deadlines.
This Martial Arts Business guy talked about how he did a "Money Mailer" promo to 90,000 homes and only got 3 calls.
By the tone of his email that was it for him. He was convinced "Direct Marketing does not work."
To be fair, those are the only details he shared.
But there are several flaws using the above example to come to a conclusion that "Direct Marketing Does Not Work for Martial Arts Schools."
And he is missing many facts, but spewing advice to (possibly) school owners who are less informed than he on the subject. The blind leading the blind if you will.
There are numerous reasons NOT to mail to 90,000 homes.
The main reason is a fundamental direct marketing principle called "The Who."
His major mistake here was "list selection." 90,000 is really too many un-qualified people.
Second mistake was delivery. Again, I am not sure about "Money Mailer" but I have used Val Pak. When I used Val-Pak I got it to work because I went in with low expectations. The truth is how Val-Pak is delivered is another violation of a good direct marketing.
Anyway, if you want to know more about direct marketing than this martial arts business guy does I invite you to watch this complimentary webinar…

The measured optimism is reminiscent of the mood a year ago, when the economy seemed to be reviving, only to stall again in the spring amid widespread fears caused by the debt crisis in Greece and other European countries.Even so, economists are increasingly upbeat about the outlook, saying that while the economy in 2011 will not be strong enough to drive unemployment down significantly, it should put the United States on its soundest footing since the financial crisis started an economic tailspin three years ago.
WASHINGTON — Eighteen months after the recession officially ended, the government's latest measures to bolster the economy have led many forecasters and policy makers to express new optimism that the recovery will gain substantial momentum in 2011.Economists in universities and on Wall Street have raised their growth projections for next year. Retail sales, industrial production and factory orders are on the upswing, and new claims for unemployment benefits are trending downward.Despite persistently high unemployment, consumer confidence is improving. Large corporations are reporting healthy profits, and the Dow Jones industrial average reached a two-year high this week.The Federal Reserve, which has kept short-term interest rates near zero since the end of 2008, has made clear it is sticking by its controversial decision to try to hold down mortgage and other long-term interest rates by buying government securities.

Smog will have an effect on the road cycling events at the Olympics in Beijing, according to British cycling's performance director Dave Brailsford.
Brailsford admits the high pollution levels, coupled with soaring temperatures, are sure to have an influence on the riders as they take on the 102.6 kilometre route.
In the clear: Track star Victoria Pendleton should not be affected
'It's going to have an impact, there's no doubt about that,' said Brailsford. 'Some people are more susceptible than others but we have done all the testing of the athletes and we have put the necessary things in place.
'In the end, it's the same for everyone – we're not overly concerned about it.'
The conditions are less likely to have a negative impact on Britain's track cyclists, who are favoured to dominate the competition after winning nine gold medals and two silvers at the world championships in Manchester earlier in the year.

Kyle Bostick, DVM — Chief of Staff
Dr. Kyle Bostick, our Chief of Staff, was born in Big Spring, Texas, but grew up in the Leander/Austin area back before they were connected by urban sprawl. His interest in animals and their care goes back to his childhood when he spent lots of time on his grandparents' farms in Roscoe and Marshall. By third grade, when asked, he always said he wanted to be a veterinarian when he grew up.
His quest to accomplish that dream really began in high school when Dr. Bostick began raising show cattle on his family's 30 acres in Leander, became very active in FFA and took a job working for his family's veterinarian in Austin. Soon he was spending every free moment working at the vet clinic, before school, after school, weekends, and on breaks from school. And when he wasn't there, you'd find him at a stock show, an FFA competition or meeting.
During college he continued to work as a veterinary technician whenever time allowed back home and in College Station. After three years of undergraduate study and four years of veterinary study, Dr. Bostick finally realized his childhood dream in May 2005 when he graduated from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine.

September Beauty Haul
Tuesday, 2 Oct 2018
The last few weeks have been tough and exhausting, which is why I haven't been posting much. Sometimes everything seems so big and impossible to get through, and things never seem to go as planned. Anyway, I am back with my September Beauty Haul and will hopefully be posting regularly again soon. Going through this post I realised that I have bought quite a few skincare products this month!
I finally picked up a few of the New Face Mists from The Body Shop.
After trying and loving the SVR Hydracid C50 Masque Eclat, I was keen to try more from the brand and after a bit of research I decided to pick up these three products.
I also bought the Filorga Skin-Absolute Day Cream, because this brand has blown my mind! My favourite part of being a blogger is discovering amazing brands and then going out and buying and supporting those brands myself.
If you have read my Skin Renewal Journey, you will know that I have had quite a few face treatments to treat my acne scarring. My latest peel left my skin quite flaky, and so I stocked up on a few barrier creams and a gentle cleansing lotion, as well as a moisturiser designed to combat pigmentation.
Yay for Sephora Sets! I am quite happy with this set.
And of course this set!
I also received my September Play Box. I am happy I received the PTR Mask, NudeStix Pencil in Kiss and the Too Faced Primer.
When I saw this Pat McGrath Mini Lipstick Set I knew I had to have it! I also got the Viktor & Rolf Set as a GWP, and the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour using my points.
Lastly, I picked up some Jessica Phenom Polish. After receiving these to review a while back I was obsessed, and so I bought some more shades. When I say I love something, include it in my monthly favourites and recommend it to you, it is always something I would go out and buy myself, as you can see!
And that wraps up my September Beauty Haul!
While you are here... Check out these posts:

Reese Witherspoon is pregnant with her third child, reports say.
Multiple sources have confirmed to Us Weekly that the "Walk the Line" star and her husband of a year, CAA agent Jim Toth, are expecting a baby.
The sources say that Witherspoon is about three months along.
"Reese is right around 12 weeks," one source explained, adding that the actress is "not planning to announce it."
"The timing is right," squeals another source. "[Reese] is so happy!"
Witherspoon has two children from her previous marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe, from whom she split in 2006. While daughter Ava is right around baby-sitting age at 12, the new baby will also join son Deacon, 8.
'I would love that," Witherspoon told the March issue of Glamour UK when asked if she and Toth were considering children. "I feel really good and I'm at a really good place in my life. Nothing's more important for me than family. I definitely love having a career, but I just love being a mom — it's how I was raised."

Armed police chased a bus for more than an hour after a woman reported seeing a passenger carrying a gun - only to find it was a toy, police said today.
Gwent Police sent an armed response unit to Brynmawr, south Wales, and put the police helicopter on standby after receiving a 999 call from a woman who said she had seen two men, of Middle Eastern or Asian appearance, one carrying a gun.
Armed police sped to Brynmawr within 10 minutes of the call, received on Saturday at 7pm, and trailed a Stagecoach bus for more than an hour on its route to Cardiff before pulling it over on the A470, near Pontypridd.
The two men, both from south Wales and aged 32 and 51, were taken off and the bus sent on its way before the officers discovered that the silver gun was a toy.
A police spokeswoman said: ''The older man told the officers it belonged to his grandchild.
''The two men were suitably advised and then sent on their way. It is not an offence to carry a toy gun and they weren't using it to stage hold-up or anything.
''I would imagine the two men were shocked and embarrassed and they were certainly very apologetic.
''I think they understood that as they were showing each other the gun in public that might have frightened other people.''
She said the force was still keen to encourage people to report to police if they thought someone was carrying a weapon illegally.

Yunmee Kyong creates sculptural installations, paintings, prints and performances which explore ideas of ritual, religion, and cultural identity. Her Korean heritage fosters her interest in the circumstances and characteristics of other cultures, her country's own history of colonization and resistance in the shadow of "super-powers" an integral part of her identity. For the Gowanus residency, she focuses on the inherent violence in both nature and mankind, and the ways in which beauty and violence are intertwined. The sacred sublimity of nature is belied by a long history of destructive seismic activity; ceremonial traditions and elegant military dress are unable to disguise war's unavoidably bloody reality. Kyong explores the idea that human nature—its discord and brutality balanced by compassion and love—is reflected in the earth's own evolution, its powerful geographical transitions balanced by decades of peaceful harmony. Using silkscreen and a lithographic technique with polyester "pronto plates," she constructs a mountain peak out of individually screened "sections," collaging them together directly on the gallery wall. Individually abstract, like creviced rocks, the composition is revealed when all hang together, her process evident in the still-rectangular format of the printed page. Silkscreened fabric (which can reference the frequent commercial use of silkscreen for textiles), drapes from the mountain's base to the floor. Leaning against the landscape is a pair of wood-backed wrestlers, locked in conflict, their bodies reflecting the same ragged texture of the peaks above.
Individual prints and collages continue Kyong's exploration of the theme, but provide additional evidence of her fascination with the customs and costumes of native culture. Pre-Columbian history and the subsequent arrival of Columbus in the New World are of particular interest; Kyong uses the theme to question the positive and negative effects of cultural change. In this case, the welcome exchange of goods and trade ultimately leads to unwanted colonization. One of Kyong's images exemplifies this dichotomy, featuring a European brandishing a "Small Pox" blanket, like a toreador's cape, in front of a Native American strapped with a huge husk of corn. Kyong also creates a ritualistic display of potatoes and candles, referencing the vegetable's introduction to European culture and the interchange of ideas between the two worlds. Her concern with the social constructs of religious violence, and the effects of proselytization, are evident in large-scale collages, where figures seem on the verge of colliding, silkscreened shards of paper invading the compositions at sharp angles. Kyong's use of printmaking supports her imagery—the inky impressions deny fragility or fussiness, enforcing the strength of her subject matter and providing cohesiveness to her forms. Printmaking provides Kyong with a tool associated with dissemination of knowledge and, therefore, an exchange of information, echoing her concern with cultural progression and identity.

All the while I was trying to backtrack Great-Grandfather Joseph Chosa to his birthplace in Quebec, I was also working on the family of my other maternal great-grandfather, Vincent Dufauld. Vincent was Anishinaabe, a member of what is now called the Bois Forte Band of Minnesota Chippewa. He lived on the reservation at Nett Lake, but there was never any doubt that he had French-Canadian ancestry since his surname was of French-Canadian origin. But who were his parents?
Remember what my Great-Grandfather Joseph said when someone in Michigan asked how his surname was spelled? The family story is that he answered, "You spell it like it sounds." The trouble was that there are many, many ways to spell a surname like Chaussé. Well, the same is true for the surname Dufauld, in spades.
Great-Grandfather Vincent's surname was "usually" spelled Dufauld or DeFoe in the records for him and his immediate family. For his kinfolk, the surname was most commonly spelled Dufault in American records, but it also turns up as Default, Dufeu, Dufau, Dufeaux, Dufaut, Dufaux, Defoe, Dafoe, and probably a few other variations. (I eventually learned that Dufaut and Dufaux were the most common spellings in Quebec.) The worst American spelling is Default: you can't run an effective Google search on Default because it's a term which shows up in computer technology all the time, so you get thousands of hits, and you can go through 100 or more screens without turning up a single person surnamed Default. But that's how the surname is sometimes spelled in Amercian vital records.
I found Vincent in the US censuses only because I already knew where he had lived much of his adult life, namely on the Bois Forte Reservation in northern Minnesota. I did, however, have one advantage with him: his first name of Vincent was relatively uncommon (compared to, say, Joseph). In the 1900 and 1910 federal censuses (his surname was spelled Default on both) he was on the Indian Schedules at Bois Forte with his wife and two of his daughters. Those censuses said he was born in Minnesota. However, the census taker recorded that ALL the Indians he enumerated were born in Minnesota, of Minnesota-born parents. (This just goes to show you can't put blind faith in the censuses.)
When I first set out to trace my mother's ancestry, I had assumed that Great-Grandfather Joseph had come to the US as a voyageur; that was because I knew very little about the actual patterns of French-Canadian immigration.
However, a little poking around taught me that a very large number of French-Canadian immigrants were farmers like Joseph or skilled workmen (blacksmiths, carpenters etc.). Many without such trades crossed the border, especially from about 1870 onwards, to find work in the industrial mills of New England. Great-Grandfather Joseph had, according to the censuses, supported himself at first by fishing, but as soon as he could, he acquired farmland and from then on was always described as a farmer: clearly it was most likely that he had crossed the border not as a voyageur but to find some good farmland. This in turn suggested that Joseph came from a family of habitants, peasant farmers.
Great-Grandfather Vincent, however, was definitely not a farmer (although he may have had a garden). Like most Bois Forte men at the turn of the century, he made his living by fur trapping, hunting, guiding, and fishing, and he and his family surely harvested and processed wild rice. Nett Lake wild rice is the best in the world (the stuff grown in paddies doesn't even come close in terms of flavor and nutritional value) and you can buy it online (and no, I won't personally make a cent off of anyone else's purchase).
Since Great-Grandfather Vincent lived as he did, he was most likely descended from voyageurs. Knowing this, I joined the NISHNAWBE Mailing List at Rootsweb early on. This was, and still is, a very active list for "anyone researching Native Americans in Michigan and Wisconsin, and the fur traders connected with them."
This was one of the best decisions I ever made: I learned where fur-trade records were to be found, I learned about numerous valuable sources of information for fur-trade ancestors, and even connected with several other people who had fur-trade ancestors surnamed some variation of Dufault or, in the female lines, Roy and Cadot/Cadotte.
Early on in my research I had made a habit of checking the message boards, mailing lists, and family trees online for names of my known ancestors, hoping to connect with relatives who knew more than I did. And this was one time that habit led to a huge payoff: a cousin of mine (whom I had never met), posted his family tree online. He didn't know any more about the Chosa-Forcier side of the family than I did, but he had a great deal of information about the Dufaulds passed down to him from his grandmother Annie Dufauld (Vincent's daughter, and the full sister of my grandmother Clara Dufauld). I never knew Grandmother Clara; she had died long before I was born.
My cousin knew the names of Vincent's parents (Michel Dufauld and Josette Roy) and of several of his siblings and where they had lived. He even knew the names of Michel's father (Joseph Dufauld) and Josette's parents (Vincent and Lizzie). We began a lively correspondence and a good friendship, although we never met in person until last year.
Meanwhile, I was still working with others on the NISHNAWBE list and learned that GGG Grandfather Joseph Dufauld/Dufaut's wife was Julie Cadotte, daughter of the famous Michel Cadotte and his Anishinaabe wife Marie-Madeleine (Equaysayway), and that Michel was the son of the equally famous Jean-Baptiste Cadot and his redoubtable wife Marie-Athanasie (Equawaice).
With this much information as my starting point, I began to collect census and other records on Vincent and his known ancestors. I needed to confirm and document the relationship—not that I didn't believe my cousin or the people on the NISHNAWBE list, mind you, but careful examination of the documentary evidence could turn up further clues so that I could prove the connections and take the lines back into Quebec.
Ancestry.com's search engine, although it has its faults, was able to find Vincent in the 1880 census for Bayfield, Wisconsin, living with his parents (names given as Michel and Julia) and six siblings: Julia age 24, John age 20, Louis age 10, Michel age 8, Peter age 4, and a male age 6 whose name looks like "Vassau" or "Vassim" (neither name seems likely, and it doesn't look like "Vincent" either). All were—as I expected—stated to be indians. The children had all been born in Wisconsin. Mother "Julia" (an obvious mistake for "Josette"), age 44, had been born in Canada of Canadian-born parents; father Michel, age 54, had been born in Wisconsin, like his mother, and his father had been born in Canada. Michel was a carpenter by profession.
I already knew from family information that Great-Grandfather Vincent had a brother named Peter who was about the same age. Vincent was age 22 in the 1880 census—18 years older than the Peter in the household. However, I had early on realized that census takers did not always list the relationship to the head of the household (as they were directed); in households with 3 or more generations, grandchildren were often listed as "son" or "daughter" when a parent's name appeared above theirs. In other words, little Peter was "probably" a grandson of Michel and Josette, and his mother was most likely the eldest daughter Julia, age 24. But where was the Peter who was Vincent's brother and near to him in age?
I found him in Superior, Wisconsin, for the same 1880 census, born in Wisconsin like both parents, age 18. Peter was in the household of Vincent Roy, age 55, a merchant from Canada. Vincent Roy had a wife, Lizzie, age 50, born in Minnesota of Canadian-born parents, and several children (including a Vincent). All were listed as white. However, since my cousin's information was that Vincent Roy and his wife Lizzie were Vincent's maternal grandparents, I was reasonably sure that this Peter was Vincent's brother and that the household members were listed as white because they were living in a town in essentially the same manner as their white neighbors.
So I searched for the Vincent Roy and Michel Dufauld families farther back in the censuses: the trail for both led, as expected, to La Pointe, on Madeline Island, in what is now Bayfield County, Wisconsin, as far back as the 1850 census.
And that's when some of my fur-trade and Anishinaabe ancestors decided to help me out.

The goal of knowing your Enneagram type is to help you better understand yourself and enrich your personal development. There is no "better" or "worse" type. Each type and each person has its own assets.
The Enneagram is a model structuring the human personality from 9 different types of functioning related to the directions of three centers of intelligence (mental, emotional and instinctive) that we all possess. Each enneagram type is based on unconscious fears, desires seeking to compensate for them, and expresses a unique way in which the three centers of intelligence interact with each other.
The enneagram is not just a simple personality test categorizing 9 different types of functioning: It admits a system of influence of neighboring types (the wings) and several levels of sanity within each type (which can lead towards a type of integration or disintegration). Thus two persons of the same type, according to the manner in which they manage their compulsion and the degree of influence of the neighboring types, can be very different.

Set in the archipelago fantasy world called Dara, in a situation similar to the Chinese epoch 200 B.C. after the fall of the Chin dynasty and the rise of the Han dynasty, we follow the struggle for control of the known world by two main protagonists, never-do-well Kuni Garu and noble champion Mata Zyndu. It is a time of rebellion, war, of great changes, inventions, of social contention.
The two heroes represent opposite qualities, one orientating in the old ways, the other one is more progressive. Mata Zyndu wants to restore the world with several kingdoms as it used to be before the times of the emperor, whereas Kuni Garu wants to make people happier and have an interesting life. They become leaders of a rebellion against the old Empire, get together, become friends, but find out that their ideals don't fit together.
It is the start of a series but works just fine as a stand-alone, it doesn't end in a cliffhanger but has a nicely defined start and finish.
The author calls this kind of fantasy "Silkpunk", similar to the Victorean era technology of Steampunk but with a East Asian flavour. It uses only tiny bits of magic but lots of deic interventions.
I loved the technological backgrounds with oared air ships, kites used for military signaling, or underwater vehicles, contrasting magical sea beasts or mind-reading books.
The novel starts in a very frustrating way with names, names, names for people, landscapes, sitting positions – and after that with even more names, feeling more like a history textbook or an atlas than a fantasy novel. I nearly put it away because I couldn't bear it anymore.
There are huge loads of different characters, and I lost track of many of them. In the beginning, I didn't know in which ones I should invest. Some characters, like the two main protagonists, felt wooden, leading to a predictable ending. Other characters were not that flat. I especially liked former tax collector Kindo Marana turning into a general; Liu seems to take a lot of interest in tax topics, wanting to make taxes interesting to the reader when he takes a look at military strategy through a tax point of view. Lots of characters where driven by vignette like interleavings which were woven so thickly around the main plot that sometimes I lost the main plot or didn't recognize it as such.
Narration style is inconsistent and throws in many diverse elements. There are flashback character introductions, kennings and other kinds of poems, or there is a nice chapter consisting of letter exchanges which all read very well for its own. But in the given context, they felt like thrown in, contrasting huge descriptions of epic battles where tens of thousands people die, contrasting a kind of poem where gods banter mortals' fates. There are lots of side stories of secondary or tertiary characters driving the plot. It might be that you exactly like this diversity. Usually, I do as well, but it stretched my comfort zone too far, as it felt too random.
The editor called it "The Aeneid as a fantasy novel, it's War and Peace as a fantasy novel." It is very different from Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, as there aren't as many extreme twists and turns or sexual roughness. It also differs from Kay's historical fantasy novels like Tigana, as it feels more like a textbook than a novelization. As a third work, I'd like to mention The Lord of the Rings, which is also driven by males and has a similar epic format. If you like those, there is a good chance that you might like The Grace of Kings.
This is a beast of a book jumping into the fantasy novel arena, and I wasn't able to tame it as well as I wanted to. It might turn out to be better on a re-read – which I don't plan to do – and I probably won't read the sequel coming out in Summer 2016.
Meta: isfdb. This Fantasy novel was published 2015 by Head of Zeus. It is the first entry in the Dandelion Dynasty series.

For more than 20 years, SIRADEL's never stopped to innovate thanks to a strong R&D, with 2 teams divided between Rennes (France) and Toronto (Canada). With more than 30 R&D collaborative projects in Europe and France, we have developped a large network of partners, from academic labs to private companies.
SIRADEL speeds up the convergence between wireless, fixed networks and urban infrastructures (energy, water, transportation…), while developping new tools and paradygms for understanding and co-designing cities more efficiently. Key research topics encompass wireless network design optimization and advanced channel modeling. We also develop news methods to digitize large urban territories in 3D, and to automatically extract semantics. Finally we explore innovative big geodata management systems to share and exploit the considerable amount of heterogeneous geodata generated by cities and its stakeholders.
Brave is a collaborative research project started in January 2018, that aims at creating new physical-layer (PHY) techniques devoted to beyond-5G wireless communications.
The project objectives are to optimize the network architectures and topologies, design new transmission technologies based on massive MIMO and mmWave, and introduce new methodological approaches for network optimization.
LEXNET objectives was to investigate methods, technologies and architectures to reduce the global population exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) induced by wireless networks.
SIRADEL developed in a context of emergency production, semi-automatic methods to produce quickly at a large scale 3D cities from heterogeneous data, and to simulate dynamically in Virtual Battlespace 3 the performance of a radio network virtually deployed.

SCOTUS rules against 'affirmative' action at US universities
The US Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that states can disregard race as a factor in university admissions, in a fresh blow to a legacy of the 1960s civil rights movement.
The 6-2 ruling upheld the constitutionality of a measure passed by referendum in Michigan that disallowed so-called "affirmative" action in college admissions.
Liberal justice Stephen Breyer voted with the conservative majority, and the fourth member of the court's liberal wing, Justice Elena Kagan, had recused herself.
The ruling was the latest to chip away at a practice used to promote racial and ethnic diversity of university student bodies while countering the effects of racial discrimination.
Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy argued that the case before the court was "not about how the debate about racial preferences should be resolved. It is about who may resolve it."
"There is no authority in the constitution of the United States or in this court's precedents for the judiciary to set aside Michigan laws that commit this policy determination to the voters," he said.
In 2006, Michigan voters approved a measure prohibiting the state's public universities and schools from "discriminating against or granting preferential treatment for any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, colour, ethnicity, or national origin."
Known as Proposition 2, the measure was struck down by an appeals court, and the case reached the Supreme Court.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who credits "affirmative" action for her own rise from her Puerto Rican family's limited circumstances, wrote the dissent, joined by Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Judge Sotomayor argued that the constitution guarantees minorities "meaningful and equal access" to the political process.
"It guarantees that the majority may not win by stacking the political process against minority groups permanently, forcing the minority alone to surmount unique obstacles in pursuit of its goals - here, educational diversity that cannot reasonably be accomplished through race-neutral measures."
By permitting a majority of voters to do just that in Michigan, she contended, "the court ends the debate over race-sensitive admissions policies in Michigan in a manner that contravenes constitutional protections long recognized in our precedents."
The Michigan case comes on the heels of a high court decision last year concerning "affirmative" action at the University of Texas.
In that case, the justices elected not to rule on the constitutionality of using race and ethnicity in admissions, instructing a lower court to take another look at the matter.
"Affirmative" action was first introduced in the early 1960s to combat racial discrimination in government hiring, but has since been the subject of numerous court challenges.
An open letter to the students of Azusa Pacific University
Charles Murray
I was scheduled to speak to you tomorrow. I was going to talk about my new book, "The Curmudgeon's Guide to Getting Ahead," and was looking forward to it. But it has been "postponed." Why? An email from your president, Jon Wallace, to my employer, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), said "Given the lateness of the semester and the full record of Dr. Murray's scholarship, I realized we needed more time to prepare for a visit and postponed Wednesday's conversation."
This, about an appearance that has been planned for months. I also understand from another faculty member that he and the provost were afraid of "hurting our faculty and students of color."
You're at college, right? Being at college is supposed to mean thinking for yourselves, right? Okay, then do it. Don't be satisfied with links to websites that specialize in libeling people. Lose the secondary sources. Explore for yourself the "full range" of my scholarship and find out what it is that I've written or said that would hurt your faculty or students of color. It's not hard. In fact, you can do it without moving from your chair if you're in front of your computer.
You don't have to buy my books. Instead, go to my web page at AEI. There you will find the full texts of dozens of articles I've written for the last quarter-century. Browse through them. Will you find anything that is controversial? That people disagree with? Yes, because (hang on to your hats) scholarship usually means writing about things on which people disagree.
The task of the scholar is to present a case for his or her position based on evidence and logic. Another task of the scholar is to do so in a way that invites everybody into the discussion rather than demonize those who disagree. Try to find anything under my name that is not written in that spirit. Try to find even a paragraph that is written in anger, takes a cheap shot, or attacks women, African Americans, Latinos, Asians, or anyone else.
But there's another way to decide whether you would have been safe in my hands if I had spoken at Azusa Pacific. Go to YouTube and search "Charles Murray." You will get links to dozens of lectures, panel discussions, and television interviews. You can watch Q&A sessions in which I field questions from students like you, including extremely hostile ones. Watch even for a few minutes. Ask yourself if I insult them or lash out. If I do anything except take their questions seriously and answer them accordingly. Ask yourself if I'm anything more dangerous than an earnest and nerdy old guy.
Azusa Pacific's administration wants to protect you from earnest and nerdy old guys who have opinions that some of your faculty do not share. Ask if this is why you're getting a college education.

Meet the Stanford Senior Who Stood Up for Marriage and Against Intolerance
Despite attempts to silence her and like-minded friends, Stanford University senior Judy Romea refused to back down.
Romea, president of a campus group, had hoped to create a civil atmosphere during an all-day conference at Stanford that she helped organize to discuss "marriage, family, and sexual integrity." Then the school's Student Graduate Council defunded the event and slapped her group, the Stanford Anscombe Society, with a hefty "security" fee in an attempt to quash the pro-marriage event.
Romea persevered, though, and led the Stanford Anscombe Society (SAS) to put on a successful conference April 5 called Communicating Values: Marriage, Family & the Media. In an exclusive interview with The Foundry, she discussed what motivated her to push forward while facing uncharitable resistance.
"The whole point of SAS is not to declare political victory when it comes to the issue of same-sex marriage," Romea said. "That's a very myopic view. The mission is really to engage each other and show the world what real and valuable relationships are [between] people who agree and disagree."
Romea, who was born and grew up in Valencia, Calif., founded SAS as a college freshman. The group, named after British philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe, meets weekly to discuss the roles of family, marriage, and sexual integrity in the lives of Stanford students.
Romea says she never expected to be met with hostility by Stanford classmates and student leaders. Instead, she hoped the group would promote a culture of dialogue and tolerance on Stanford's diverse campus. She hoped to see relationships and conversations thrive.
Romea's interest in the study of marriage and family began early, she says. A conference held by the Ruth Institute in 2012 first sparked her interest in academic arguments regarding marriage and human sexuality. Even as a high school student, she says, she often talked to friends about the value of stable relationships.
One goal of her group's conference was to "expose [students] to the intellectual and rational arguments for marriage, as well as [other] tools they have at their disposal with which to communicate their values," Romea said.
These good intentions apparently didn't matter to leaders of the Graduate Student Council. Romea, a business major, was buckling down for final exams when the student government group unexpectedly pulled funding for the conference—to her frustration and disappointment.
The student council expressed disapproval with the ideology of the scheduled speakers, several of whom were advocates of marriage as the union of a man and a woman—and oppose redefining marriage. Among them was Ryan T. Anderson, The Heritage Foundation's William E. Simon fellow, whom the student council claimed March 5 would make some in the campus community "feel threatened."
To counter the "unsafe space" the student council also said the marriage conference would create, it ordered Romea's group to provide $5,600 for event security or cancel. After SAS garnered some media attention by publicly demanding the lifting of what Romea called a "tax on free speech," the university administration "found" sufficient funds to cover security costs.
Romea was struck by the fact that some Stanford students seem to think marriage should be an off-limits topic for her group. The irony to her was that although the lecture forum is designed to be a place where diverse ideas can be expressed, some were disgruntled that invited speakers would oppose the redefinition of marriage. She said:
"A void in the campus discourse exists regarding marriage, family, and human sexuality. At best, deviations from these values are viewed as strange, while at worst, they're the result of bigotry and hatred — as we saw with the funding controversy regarding this conference."
Romea didn't press ahead alone, though. She attributes the success of the event to the hard work and courage of fellow SAS leaders Elisa Figueroa and James Capps, as well as planning committee members Irene Onyeneho and Josephine Romea (her sister).
Through it all, Romea says, her mother cheered her on. When she thought twice about holding the conference, her mother encouraged her, saying, "Why would you back down when anything that is good requires a lot of sacrifice and a lot of tenacity?" Romea felt her confidence return.
"Standing up for marriage [takes] a commitment to living your life according to your principles," she said.
Marriage advocates need each other at a time when they are being tarred as bigots or worse, she told The Foundry.
"It's beautiful to be able to collaborate with other individuals on something like this," she said, adding: "If the whole controversy has taught me anything, it's that the fight for marriage and family will be won, not by shouting down the other side, but through teamwork and friendship of the kind demonstrated by the Stanford Anscombe Society's members and supporters."

St Dupont Pirates of the Caribbean Skull Cufflinks
St Dupont has launched a new series of products, which is dedicated to the wellknown Disney movie series Pirates of the Caribbean. This series contains products as a ballpoint pen, eyecatching cufflinks and leather goods.
These special cufflinks have the shape of a skull and crossbones, which suits perfectly with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. The cufflinks have a shiny, yellow-gold finish. The shape stands out, but the shape together with the shiny gold finish make these cufflinks a big eyecatcher.
St. Dupont was inspired by the adventures of the wild west for it's new collection: Conquest of the Wild West!
The Old West. The source of a million stories, and the start of the American Dream: that fame and fortune awaited those who made the journey across the desert. At its heart was a single image: the pioneer on horseback, a song in his heart and a Colt .45 on his hip.
From pen and lighter to kits and accessories, the Wild West Collection puts the weapons of modern life in the context of the legends. Be your own pioneer.
These bullet shaped cufflinks fit the Wild West theme perfectly! They have a palladium-plated finish, with a nice embossing on it!
Just before midnight, the Orient Express is stranded due to heavy snowfall. By morning, one of the passengers is found brutally stabbed to death in their cabin. The murderer is still on board! This mystery has to be solved before he strikes again... "Murder on the Orient Express", is based on the classic 1934 novel by Agatha Christie and will be in cinemas early November.
These S.T. Dupont Cufflinks have the shape and look of a suitcase. This same suitcase is featured in this movie! It is lacquered in brown, and finished with yellow-gold details. The thing that makes this Chinese Lacquering so special, is the fact that this is done by hand. Real craftmanship in the 'Maison du Dupont'!
This Limited Edition collection by St. Dupont consists of a brown lacquered fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint, finished with yellow gold details. The lighter has the shape and look of a suitcase, which will be featured in the movie.

Gold Cufflinks
These round cufflinks by S.T. Dupont belong to the James Bond collection. Their pattern recalls the guilloche on the lighters and writing instruments, in pale gold finishes with S.T. Dupont engraved on the feet. The number 007 refers to the number of secret agent James Bond.

Volvo's new self-driving technology has failed to identify the kangaroos on the road. Volvo has been testing its Large Animal Detection system in its 2017 S90 and XC90 models to monitor the road for deer, elk, caribou and even moose which are common sights on the pavement in many rural areas of the world.
However, in Australia, the technology is facing unique issues for self-driving cars, as the kangaroo's movements confuse it.
Source: abc
In a report published by ABC, Volvo Australia's technical manager David Pickett said, "We've noticed with the kangaroo being in mid-flight when it's in the air, it actually looks like it's further away, then it lands and it looks closer".
However, David also assured that the problem would not delay the rollout of driverless cars in the country.
Source: starweekly
According to a report by Australia's National Roads and Motorists' Association, it is said that 80% of animal collisions in the country involve kangaroos.
In 2015, safety engineers of Volvo have begun filming kangaroos' roadside behavior in a nationally recognized hotspot for collisions.

Now the data is being used to create a radar and cameras system that can recognise kangaroos and apply the brakes to avoid the crash.

Originally hailing from our region, Nixi has developed a future centric fashion label which has seen her work with Music Superstars, International Fashion Events and has even paired up with one of the world's leading technology companies, Hewlett Packard.
Luminosity Youth Summit welcomes Nixi as a keynote speaker, and FOCUS was lucky enough to catch her for a chat in between flights …
Tell us about your upbringing and your relationship with Port Macquarie …
I grew up about an hour inland from Port Macquarie, in the rockpools and ridges of the Forbes River at the base of Werrikimbe national park.
Both my parents are artists and turned an old primary school into their studios and home.
I grew up as part of the local Slippery Sirkus, performing at many cultural events in Port Macquarie, and in my teens started to really engage with the arts and creative community, working on many local youth festivals, workshops and events.
Since leaving the nest, you've developed a clothing label, which is more than just a label … Tell us about this venture.
I moved to Melbourne to study fashion design at RMIT University and unite my origins of arts, performance and costume.
During the course I developed a fascination with innovation in new technologies, maverick hybrid practices and a synergy in the art-fashion nexus.
Establishing my label was a way of developing this language, to speculate on the role of technology in dress, using the body to engage and challenge broader debates, negotiating my own unique platform for expression and interface within the critical discourses of visual culture.
The label is part sculptured tech wearables – part psychedelic street wear; it's about empowering people through colour, community and creative curiosity.
What is the "Colourtribe"?
The Colourtribe is a way of connecting my community through passionate positivity and empowered optimism. It's about sharing experiences creating new links and embracing the future together in a chorus of colour.
Tell us about some of the collaborations you have in the design and production process?
I often spend a lot of time with laser cutters and working with materials, machines and methods that I have hijacked from different fields.
Collaborating with unfamiliar technology and techniques has often enabled me to unveil alternate possibles in production.
You've worked with some big names; who have you worked with, and what did it entail?
I have worked with a variety of musicians, such as Lady GAGA, SIA, and Kimbra; performers Ultra Angels and Cyber Japan; and few key industry partners like Hewlett Packard, Not Just A Label and Berlin Alternative Fashion Week. Each of these collaborations has allowed me to explore new areas of my practice and evolve through experimentation; each have been a unique and incredible experience.
You're a Keynote Speaker at this year's Luminosity Youth Summit – how do you intend on empowering or inspiring our youth on the day?
My journey so far has taught me that our horizons are expanding exponentially and oportunities are born through our own passion and drive.
We are the creators of the future, and it's our responsibility to boldly dive into unmapped territories and dream the magic awake.
Is there a quote or a certain saying you live by? If so, why?
If it's not in the future it doesn't exist – it's a mantra that has always reminded me to keep moving forward – that to create the most incredible future I can imagine, I must pull the present forward to meet it.
Where can our readers find out more and purchase your designs?
Thanks Nixi.

Who is dwele dating tips dating black man
Before everyone had navigation, they would call this company if they were doing a trip to say London to Manchester. I would write the joint for you on this map, with a sharpie, not even a sharpie, a highlighter and I would route the perfect route for you to take. If you need to go to Detroit to Kentucky I can help you, but once we are in the city I have horrible sense of directions. I did learn as far as getting state to state, but in the city I am terrible. Dilla was crazy; I always say that the MPC was an extension of his arm. And we used to have competitions with hats, and he would come into the studio with his, and I would come in with my new joint. Depends on what you're trying to do with your music. At the time I used to wear braids, I always wore a hat. You dropped out of College; do you think it's important for musicians to go considering how successful you've become? Tell us about "Dark side of the Mic" Dark side of the Mic is something I did for London; it has little instruments I wanted to try out. I mean I had a ball in Australia; I would definitely love to come back to Australia with the band. You recorded 'The Rize' in your bedroom, and now you're doing sold out shows in London. Like I always knew when I approached that album I just wanted to make 100 copies and sell it to my friends. I think everyone approaches a song differently, I enjoy all of them. I had no idea that doing that album would catapult a career for me you know what I'm saying. I come out of every situation better, learning a new way to approach a song. I was concerned that there was no appearance for first and second respondents given that they had filed opposing papers.[2] Mr Korsten satisfied me that he had adequately informed the Legal Aid representative acting for the respondents and delivered the set down and related documents giving full and timeous notice of the hearing of this application.this enquiry also determines whether the first and second respondents are unlawful occupiers and the applicability of the PIE Act.
The applicant alleges that on or about 26 February 2015 the property was registered into his name in the Johannesburg Deeds Office under Deed of Transfer No.: T1794/2015.
Before dealing with the applicant's case further, I turn to deal with the respondent's opposition. The first respondent alleges that she has been in occupation and residing on the property since 1971, a period in excess of 43 years.
Although she disavows the applicability of the PIE Act, the first respondent (who says she is 75 years old) identifies the other occupants holding with and through her to be seven adults and four children (aged 17, 10, 6 and 4 years of age) seemingly pursuant to the provisions of section 4(7), (8) and (9) of the PIE Act, no doubt in the event of the respondents being found to be in unlawful occupation.
I got that on camera, that's going to be on You Tube soon. I was looking, filming the ducks coming out of the water, he walked up to me, and I was like oh he's coming to me. Tried to bite my shoe, then he was going for my pant legs. I just wanted it to be sold exclusively for shows, strictly for London. I mean it's not something I am putting out; I am not making it available for download. Just because the whole album is about a story that happened in London, London is my home overseas.
Tell us about the new album The new album is in its beginning stages, I am thinking this time around I might want to make it super baby making. I tested it, and in the process made a few joints and made it into an album. A lot of people were upset in Australia you just opened for Brian Mcknight and saw you just for that show.
I interview Dwele about his upcoming strictly baby making album due to drop later this year, how a duck attacked him at the Australian Zoo and why he thinks J Dilla's arm was an extension of an MPC.
