Stars Doing Yoga In Bikinis: Meghan Markle & More
Forget yoga pants, Meghan Markle, Bethenny Frankel, Halle Berry, and more stars practice yoga in sexy bikinis. Check out their hot moves here!
Before becoming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, 36, was just a girl who loved to do yoga. The former Suits actress took to Instagram back in 2015 to share a hot shot of herself doing the super intricate inverted staff pose. In the pic, Meghan can be seen wearing an olive green bikini while on the beach, and we can't get over how incredibly toned she is! "'I bend so I won't break.' #yoga #vacation (I finally did it!! Clearly couldn't stop smiling)," Meghan captioned the photo, which has since been deleted along with all of her social media accounts. Nevertheless, it's no surprise she's into yoga. After all, her mother Doria is an instructor.
Also in 2015, RHONY star Bethenny Frankel, 47, showed off her moves during a beach getaway. "Life is good," Bethenny captioned the photo of herself in a orange string bikini. All we have to say is, namaste! Erika Christensen, 35, is another star who loves the practice. Back in June, Erika proved she's as fit as ever by performing an impressive pose balancing atop husband Cole Maness all while pregnant! "Ok, first of all, I'm a little further along [than] I let on. Bumpin for real," Erika captioned the shot. There's no contest, but it's safe to say she won.
However, Halle Berry's yoga moment has to be the sexiest. The 51-year-old actress did a perfect headstand wearing nothing but black bikini bottoms, and we're so here for it. Halle explained, "I've learned that mediation helps to balance your left brain and right brain, and as a result I feel more creative, I can absorb information faster and I experience better emotional health." It sounds like yoga is something everyone needs to try!

Grant Mansfield - Founder and CEO, Plimsoll Productions
When Grant Mansfield sold his Los Angeles TV production company in 2013, he knew that he wanted to come home and start a new venture. A true nonconformist, he elected to launch Plimsoll Productions in Bristol rather than London, a hub for the industry. Grant has created one of the nation's most successful independent agencies and believes it's his 300-strong staff which are key to its international success. Its clients include domestic and global giants such as Netflix and Apple.
What's so different about Plimsoll?
There are lots of independent companies in this industry that are run as lifestyle businesses. I knew from day one that I wanted to build something of scale. We started with five people in a small office in the corner of a large building in Clifton, and now we've taken over the whole building and employ more than 300.
How big is your international business?
We have offices in Bristol, Cardiff and Los Angeles. I spend a lot of time in the States and half our business now comes from outside the UK. I worked in LA for three years and when I set up Plimsoll I made a point of keeping up a dialogue with key US clients. I'm as likely to be at Netflix's offices as I am at the BBC these days. If you're an ambitious TV company, you have to set your horizons far wider than the UK.
What's been your biggest mistake?
I was too focused on the domestic market when we started. It was easier to get on a train and pitch in London than board a plane and do it in LA. I was too risk averse at that point and should have aimed higher. Every time we've done something really ambitious with this business, it's come off. The worst results have come about when we've tried to be too conservative.
What drives you?
There's never been a better time to be an independent producer because of the explosion in new content platforms. There are so many clients out there with good budgets, who are really excited by creative new TV concepts. My ambition is fired up by the new opportunities, even more so now that we are looking to different territories. We are doing a show in Brazil right now. I'm also driven by the urge to create something of permanence and longevity; something that will outlast me. Many companies are built around a well-known producer and when they leave, they wither on the vine. With Plimsoll, I'm building a permanent and significant international production company.
Fast facts:
- Grant is 59
- In just four and a half years, Plimsoll has become the sixth largest independent TV production company in the UK
- Offices in Bristol, Cardiff and LA
- Turnover stands at £20m and will double again next year
- 50pc of revenue comes from the US, with further international expansion planned
"Grant has achieved extraordinary growth with Plimsoll both in the UK and in America. He has built an award-winning team, making programmes for the likes of the BBC and Netflix. In just over four years, Plimsoll has become one of the largest TV production companies in the UK - helping to put Bristol's creative cluster on the map."
Andy Lyndon, LDC

The next 2 rounds of the British GT Championship was held at Snetterton in Norfolk, and Predator CCTV Racing had moved to a new team JMH Automotive to take over the running of the Ferrari Scuderia GT3.
They hired a new gearbox from car manufacturer Kessel racing in Switzerland and pretty much all the ancillaries that go with it, so we were confident the car wouldn't suffer any of the gearbox issues that had plagued us all season.
Free practice 1 went well and I was running P6 at the start of the first session on used tyres and full fuel so it was clear that the car was working well, we did a little setup work and eventually ended the session in 10th place after most the other cars ran new tyres at the end when fuel was light so we were pleased with that.
Free practice 2 much the same again, we concentrated on setup rather than an ouright laptime and we finished up P12, I was confident I could make a top 6 Position in Qualifying.
However with severe weather warnings issued the weather didn't disappoint and the whole circuit was under at least a couple of inches of rain water so most the afternoons races including our Qualifying session was cancelled and we would start race 1 from free practice 1 position and race 2 from the 2nd practice session.
Phil Burton would take the start from Race 1 and did a good job to bring the car home in P12 setting consistent lap times, I managed to make a couple of positions and get us back into P10, however with around 15 minutes to go the car wouldn't downshift gears and I was caught quickly by the Ferrari 458 of Aaron Scott, I did all I could to try and hang onto 10th and the last point scoring position but he managed to get by and we took the flag in 11th.
The JMH team were quick to point out the Gearbox problem it seems a gear actuator was at fault on the hired gearbox, and unfortunately there was little they could do to rectify this problem with only a couple of hours to the next race so we planned to run until it caused a problem then we would have no choice but to retire the car.
I took the start of race 2 and made a few places coming round in 9th place just behind the race 1 winning McLaren of Matt Bell but the car wasn't working 100% as it should and I quickly lost places first to Matt Griffin in the Mtech Ferrari then a couple of others down to 12th again, after 5 laps I decided it was safest to retire from the race to bring a sad end to our race weekend as it was looking initially that we would be able to run at the front of the field.

The next race is a 3 hour endurance race at Silverstone on 8/9th September.

Engineered Air Solutions have a long history of representing our current brands and some of competitors in years past. As a result we have the experience and contacts of trends from the 1970's to today. Being we have a full variety of products, we can be unbiased to help you select the right product to meet the application on budget. ENERGY WHEEL ONLY: We can get the wheel itself with NovelAire who uses corrugated 4Å molecular sieve wheel. Lots of choices and flexibility in size, performance and orientation. This type of wheel is able to self-clean as the exhaust fan blowing in the opposite direction from the supply will blow contaminates out. A Molecular Sieve wheel is different from the silica impregnated plastic type of wheel as the tiny slits only allow moisture to carry through, and not smells which can happen as the silica absorbs "everything". Being unbiased, we will say that the silica wheel, as it is less expensive may be fine for your project and we can source that as well.

how does it work
A law called the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was enacted in 1970, this law requires that all information on our credit reports must be 100% accurate and verifiable information.
You know that we are millions of consumers in all the United States, and there are only 3 national credit companies (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) as we are so many consumers for only 3 National Credit Agencies they are increasingly exposed to making mistakes When reporting information in our credit history.
That is where we enter Central Credit Group Inc. to help you assert your rights as a consumer, because the law says that we consumers have the right to dispute the information reported in our credit reports as long as it is erroneous, inaccurate , Obsolete or can not be verified and if the credit bureaus do not correct the information or can not verify the information within 30 days, the accounts MUST be deleted from our credit reports.
This is how legally IF you can delete the negative information from our credit reports.
The Central Credit Group inc. process:
1. Admission of your case
Once you acquire our services, we request your 3 credit reports from the national agencies (Experian, Trans Union and Equifax).
These reports will receive you directly to your home within 15 working days.
Once you receive the credit reports, we send them to our office immediately, either by taking them personally, sending them by email, fax or mail.
If you have your reports you can send them to us and in this way we advance the 15 days of waiting.
2. Take action
Our experts will analyze your case and prepare the relevant correspondences to be sent directly to credit bureaus, creditors and collectors for the purpose of lifting the first investigation process in your case for negative accounts to be removed.
Each investigation has a maximum term of 30 working days, which means that within 30 days of the first investigation being sent you will receive the results of the investigation directly to your home and there you will see the accounts that were removed, corrected or those that Remained intact.
3. Send us Correspondence
Since we will be intermediaries between you and the credit agencies, collectors and creditors. You must send us ALL documents you receive from credit bureaus, collectors and creditors as soon as possible because without these documents we do not know what happens to your case and it would take us a long time to lift the second investigation blow.
4. Patience and Consistency
Credit repair is a process of patience on your part and consistency of ours.
Step 2 is repeated again like step 3 and so we will continue month after month until:
A. Reach desired credit score
B. Get the loan you need
C. The term of our services agreement is fulfilled
En Central Credit Group inc. ayudamos a consumidores hispanos a lograr sus sueños y metas financieras.
We work the 3 national credit companies Experian, Trans Union, Equifax
- Experian

- Equifax
We help you raise your credit score and this way you can obtain financial freedom and give your family the future they deserve.
We are the experts
Your future is in our hands, for that reason we provide 100 percent for your case to have positive results.
With good credit you can get:
- The house that your family deserves

26. I also plan to learn to tap dance someday.
31. I hate anything peach or mango flavored. Peach scented doesn't bother me, though.
12. I was an intern at a radio station after I graduated from college. On my first day, Jewel came into the studio and I got her autograph. On my third day, John Meyer came in and nobody gave a damn.
30. I studied Improv at Second City.
34. I took figure skating lessons from the age of 3 to the age of 11. To this day, I still have massive quadriceps and calf muscles, which I attribute to my skating years.
41. I do not see any connection between figure skating and downhill skiing, despite the insistence that if I can skate, I can ski.
68. I prefer Coke to Pepsi, but Pepsi's relatives (Mt. Dew, Wild Cherry Pepsi) to Coke's relatives.
52. I would like to run a marathon someday, but I'm DEATHLY afraid of any sort of repercussions that my toenails could suffer. I might have to cut back to a half-marathon for that reason alone.
51. My toes line up like perfect soldiers.
58. My toilet is running and I just went to catch it.
4. The pants I'm wearing right now cost me $1.97 at Old Navy.
40. I'm more bad with money than I am good. But, I'm working very hard on getting better.
10. I desperately long for a magenta Razr phone.
59. There was a time, a few years back, when I could always be found wearing something red. My friends lovingly referred to me as the Devil.
77. Sometimes (more often than I care to admit) I mistype my married name as "Saeton."
13. Pink. It's my new red.
92. I miss my maiden name.
54. My family calls me "Krist."
56. I am wholely addicted to shopping at Target.
24. One of Eric's first words was "Target."
46. I like to play golf. I took to it very naturally and believe I could play very well if I practiced more often.
82. I majored in General Engineering for 3 semesters at the University of Illinois. My sole purpose in choosing General Engineering as a major was that it had the highest admission standards of any major in the entire university.
7. I subsequently changed my major to Spanish, but planned to transfer into the College of Business once I had taken the classes required for that transfer. One of those required classes was a Speech Communication class. It piqued my interested so much that I became a SpCom major instead.
61. Sometimes I wish I had majored in Theatre.
91. I met my husband at work. The first time we met, we were working at the Field Museum and I was lost.
17. I do not get lost often; I have a keen sense of direction.
1. I'm pretty sure that I think I am funnier than other people think I am.
70. In college I was the local committee president of an organization called AIESEC, which facilitates work abroad.
94. I have never worked abroad myself.
84. I have barely even travelled outside of the US.
72. I wish that weren't the case, and I plan to change that when I have the time/money.
20. I can't shake the feeling that at some point in my life I will have a job that involves some type of stage performance.
15. I enjoy karaoke. (This is not the kind of "performing" I necessarily have in mind, though.)
83. I have been learning to play the guitar for a little over 5 years now, and I'm still not that great.
47. I have two acoustic guitars. One is a Takamine G230 named Romeo. This was my first guitar. The other is a black Ibanez acoustic-electric guitar that I haven't named. It's beautiful, but really hard to play. Also, Chris has 5 electric guitars, Eric has a mini-guitar, we all have a collective acoustic guitar that my dad gave us and we have a banjo that has barely been touched. I think we're covered as far as strings go.
43. I have one brother, and we don't really get along that well, but it's getting a little better as we get older.
22. I keep trying to be less addicted to drinking pop and I keep failing.
16. I love David Sedaris. My favorite book of his is Me Talk Pretty One Day.
93. My early childhood nickname was "Spud the Amazing Potato Baby."
71. I prefer Letterman to Leno.
69. The only time I ever asked a guy out was in HS. This guy lived really far away and I asked him to Homecoming. He said no. I vowed never to ask another guy out for as long as I live. So far I haven't.
97. A year later, that guy sent me a letter saying how stupid he had been to turn me down, and how much he regretted his decision. I wrote back saying he should come visit...and meet my boyfriend.
6. I never dated until I went to college because, presumably, boys find me scary.

This Will Make You Want to Eat Your Vegetables
When the makers of VeggiDome originally told us they invented a way to make anyone want to eat vegetables, we listened up. But when they told us, it's a big glass dome in which your veggies are going to sit on your table for days, we said, "Huh?" But after a test drive we concur, the VeggiDome is the key to making you eat your vegetables!
The idea behind the product is to put an array of colorful fruits in vegetables in plain sight to tempt you to eat them throughout the day. This "see food" method, as we call it, really works! We all dropped by and nibbled lettuce, carrots and radishes rather than digging into the snack cupboard for as long as the VeggiDome was on display!
How does it work?
We're not quite sure how it works but the basic gist is that vegetables release ethylene when they're stored. The ethylene causes things around them to ripen quickly. But in the VeggiDome, the ethylene gas slips out between the dome and it's lid. This slows ripening/rotting and allows you to enjoy a rainbow of veggies at their peak of ripeness over the course of a few days. The best thing about our VeggiDome test-run was that it helped us cut down on food waste. It's hard to forget about that ear of corn or bunch of breakfast radishes when they're staring you in the face. But at the back of the produce drawer? Out of sight, out of mind. (You don't want to know what we've found at the back of that drawer before. Pity the intern who draws the short straw on that job!)
If you're looking for a gift for the food lover who has everything, (except a glass dome for their vegetables), or you want to start an eating-right resolution, you need this. If anything can get you to eat your vegetables, this is it!
How to get it
For more information or to purchase, visit the VeggiDome website. (Note that VeggiDome offers a 30-day money back guarantee just in case you decide that you really hate eating your vegetables.)

Which Test to Take?
Within reason, there is no cause NOT to take one test or another. There is also no reason to avoid another sitting of the SAT or ACT. Colleges will consider your best score in admissions decisions.
Understandably, there is often considerable confusion about testing. There are several tests. They sound alike. Some are required; some are not.
Gilman tenth, eleventh and twelfth graders have access to free online test prep through their Khan Academy and ACT Online Prep.
In an effort to keep it comprehensible, we offer the following definitions and descriptions.
Administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), the SAT is a three-and-half-hour test that measures the reading, mathematical and writing abilities the student has developed over many years, both in and out of school. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 (low) to 800 (high).
Please note that the colleges will use the highest score posted, regardless of when the test was taken.
If you are a Gilman student, we will receive a copy of your SAT scores IF YOU HAVE INDICATED THE SCHOOL CODE - 210-095 - on the correct forms. If no school code is included or if the wrong school code is indicated, we will not receive your scores. You are strongly encouraged to use the school code so that the score reports are sent to Gilman. They are a very useful tool in the advising process. Students who attend other schools should include the appropriate school code on their registrations.
Many colleges/universities insist that they receive score reports sent directly from the testing agency - SAT and ACT. The schools will need an "official" score report sent directly from SAT or ACT. More and more schools are allowing applicants to self-report their scores.
SAT Subject Test
Subject Tests measure your knowledge or skills in a particular subject and your ability to apply that knowledge. A number of highly selective colleges/universities require or request SAT Subject Tests be taken by applicants.
The JUNE SAT date may be the best time to take some SAT Subject Tests. Consider taking the SAT Subject Test in any subject area whose study will conclude at the end of the junior year.
The ACT measures skills in four major curriculum areas, English, mathematics, reading, science reasoning, and writing. These areas are tested because they include the major areas of instruction in most high school and college programs. The ACT is scored from 1 (low) to 36 (high) in each of the four curricular areas. The highest possible composite score is 36.
Virtually all colleges will accept either the SAT or the ACT. Please see each school's guidelines for their expectations.
Unlike the SAT, the mathematics section of the ACT does require some trigonometry. Students who have particular trouble with the SAT are encouraged to take the ACT. Because there is a stronger emphasis on 'content' rather than 'aptitude,' students who have received especially rigorous instruction in core courses can occasionally score better on the ACT.
Another important asset of the ACT: Recently, more selective schools are permitting one ACT as an option to satisfy the traditional requirement of one SAT plus three SAT Subject Tests. Of course, because many colleges have slightly different testing requirements, it is best to look at the published requirements for each college.
Those curious about how SAT and ACT scores compare with each other can find the ACT-SAT concordance at http://www.collegeboard.org/.
Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement exams offer students the opportunity to earn college credit or advanced standing. Visit the College Board website for comprehensive information about AP fees, dates, and exam content.

Learn about...Cloudworks
Open University staff development
Cloud created by:
Rebecca Galley
20 January 2010
The Cloudworks stall will be manned alternately by Rebecca Galley, Juliette Culver, Nick Freear and Grainne Conole. Please do come to speak to us about the site and your thoughts and ideas relating to it.
We have set up 3 'flash debates' which you will be able to contribute to throughout the day:
- Are OERs the dictionaries of our time?
- Should staff and students learning in second life have accurate human avatars?
- Mobile phones, augmenting your context or missing what's going on in the real world?
- Using Twitter with students
And Grainne Conole will be presenting on Cloudworks at 12pm in Meeting Room 1 (ground floor), Jennie Lee Building at part of the Learn About Fair 2010.
Finally, give us your feedback - What 3 words would you associate with Cloudworks?
Extra content
What is Cloudworks? Cloudworks is a social networking site for finding, sharing and discussing learning and teaching ideas and designs.
Core concepts. There are three key concepts associated with Cloudworks - the notion of 'Clouds', 'Cloudscapes' and 'Cloudstreams'
Clouds. A Cloud can be anything to do with learning and teaching. A Cloud could be: a short description of a learning and teaching idea, information about resources or tools for learning and teaching, detailed learning designs or case studies of practice, or a question for example "Have you any good examples of using mindmapping in teaching?" Each Cloud is 'social' in that it is possible to have a conversation around the Cloud and it is possible for you or anyone else to add relevant links, embedded content (like a video) or an academic reference. There is an example of a Cloud here.
Cloudscapes. Clouds can be collected together into bundles or 'Cloudscapes' associated with a particular event, purpose or interest. For example you can have a Cloudscape associated with a conference, pulling together Clouds relating to papers, workshops or conference themes. A Cloudscape can be set up for a workshop or event where Clouds might include workshop resources, tools or activities. Cloudscapes can also be more general for example to stimulate debate about a particular teaching approach. A Cloud can be associated with any number of different Cloudscapes.

From Spud To Stud Car Peter Lansing's '30 Ford coupe
To really appreciate the genesis and evolution of Peter Lansing's cool '30 Ford five-window, you need to understand the Mr. Potato Head concept, a design plan perfected by General Motors Corporation. Perhaps the shining example of what not to do when designing a car by committee is Pontiac's Aztek.
Had you or I been a fly on the wall when the GM committee was called in to develop the Aztek, we might have witnessed a scene that went something like this: J.B., head of Design, Marketing, and Federal Loan Acquisitions, summons his underlings to the conference room. "Gentlemen, the Pontiac division needs a new car. I want styling sketches in here before lunchtime today. Herkomer Schizmiester, you design the roofline and wheels. Clem," he turns to his faithful righthand man, "as always you'll be in charge of placing the headlights and turn signals in a totally unorthodox and meaningless place." And so it goes until each man has his allotted task. "OK," continues J.B., "I need this before lunch, so no decaf today. Better grab a cup of leaded joe and get to it."
Each "stylist" heads for his personal work cubicle, and true to form they emerge in time for the pre-lunch meeting. History tells us that the car was an abomination, but that's only half the story. Naming the critter proved its folly. Our fly on the wall reports as J.B. brings the meeting to its conclusion: "Now we need a name for the car," he tells his brood. Clem speaks for the design team. "Ah, J.B., we already have that covered." He pauses to tend to an invisible fleck of dust on his sleeve. "Since everyone in this room had a hand in the design-that's everyone from Andover to Zeilke," he says for J.B.'s benefit, "we decided on Az."
J.B.'s brow furrows. "We can't name it that. People might get the wrong idea when they say the word." Clem and company respond with perplexed looks as J.B. continues: "Think about it: Azzzzz." And they all nod in accordance, understanding J.B.'s inference.
"Ah," chimes a meek voice from the far corner, "Mr. J.B., what about giving it a high-tech name. Say, Aztech?"
J.B. thinks for a moment. "I like it! But make it cute. We spell it A-z-t-e-k." Nods of approval fill the room. Mission accomplished- time for lunch. "Great," J.B. says. "Now let's go to lunch."
Clem seizes the opportunity, "I feel like an Angus burger," he says for all to hear. J.B.'s booming voice echoes through the room: "I know a great Angus hole-in-the-wall downtown. Follow me, men." And thus was born the Aztek, perhaps the sorriest-looking car to roll out of Detroit.
Fortunately, Peter Lansing's Model A was designed by men with better credentials. The car emerged as a chopped hot rod from somewhere back east when Donnie Hoffman, a rodder in the Denver area, acquired it. The car was yellow and had a 350/350 combo drivetrain. Gary Williams eventually painted the coupe its current retro-metallic green color, and somewhere along the line it rolled into Masterpiece Rods & Customs in Denver for a makeover. Gary Vahling owned Masterpiece at the time, and anybody who knows Vahling also knows that he, indeed, has a master's touch when building a traditional-style hot rod.
In went the late-model Flattie V-8 coupled to a C4 auto trans. A dropped front axle replaced the oh-so-'80s IFS system, and Vahling and company tended to other bits and pieces to give the car its cool traditional rod stance. All that was left was to trim the interior, which is when Peter stepped into the picture. Peter has a nice collection of restored '50s cars, but he was in the market for a car with attitude. The chopped Model A was the answer, and he drove it home to his collection. There he commissioned Joe Haska to detail the car and chase down a retro interior, which he did with Mike Rich at Sew Fine Interiors.
A little further massaging, and the car was done. The Denver guys didn't break for Angus burgers when the job was finished, but they do gather at car shows and cruise nights on occasion to pay homage to their handiwork. And you have to admit, this car has the cool factor covered from A to Z.

Crowdsourcing Location Estimation Demo
A Location Estimation Tutorial
The following scenario is based on the tutorial we developed for crowdsourced Amazon Turk workers.
This very brief video seems difficult to place at first, as there are no tags or other obvious indicators of location associated with it, and there is no overlaid text informing the viewer where it was filmed.
However, there is a neon sign in the background saying "City Market Building".
A Google search on 'City Market Building' yields as the first result The City Market in downtown Roanoke, VA. The search results also include images that clearly depict the building we saw in the clip, with titles like "Roanoke City Market Building", confirming that Roanoke's is the City Market we are looking for.
Conveniently, when given the name of a recognized landmark, Google also provides a map with a pointer. We have successfully found the location of the video!

How did a three-minute pop ditty from a Canadian talent-show contestant go on to spark viral-video mania, turn celebrities into superfans, and rule the Hot 100? Follow the creation of a pop phenomenon below
Last summer Carly Rae Jepsen, a then-25-year-old singer and third-place finisher on Canadian Idol, began work on a new song called "Call Me Maybe." But what started as just another attempt at stardom by a young artist with a scant handful of minor home-country hits soon became something she'd never imagined. Over the next 12 months, "Maybe" turned an irresistible hook and a Justin Bieber endorsement into a viral smash beloved (and be-YouTubed) by everyone from a former U.S. secretary of state to the Harvard baseball team. Now a No. 1 smash in 13 countries — America included — the song may just be having the biggest pop-zeitgeist moment since "Rolling in the Deep." Its creators recount the crazy, convoluted journey of the Little Song That Could (Never Leave Your Head).
Summer 2011: Jepsen begins writing the song with guitarist and frequent collaborator Tavish Crowe, later bringing in producer Josh Ramsay (of Canadian emo band Marianas Trench) and mixer Dave "Rave" Ogilvie.
Carly Rae Jepsen "Call Me Maybe" came out of a regular jam session between Tav and I. When I went to work with Josh [who declined to speak with EW for this article] I showed him the idea, and he stopped me once I hit the "call me maybe" line and he said, "Repeat that part — that part is our chorus!"
Dave "Rave" Ogilvie Josh gave me a call last summer and said, "You gotta come out and check out this new song I'm working on with Carly." So I was able to get an early listen before it was finished. We both kind of looked at each other like, "This is really good, right?"
Jepsen When we started, it was a bit of a folk song. We brought the idea to Josh, and he helped us pop-ify it.
Ogilvie With the bass we were like, "Is it loud enough? Let's turn it up. Loud enough? Let's go a little more." We finally got it so loud that we thought it would blow up car speakers, so we had to cut it off at that point. [Laughs]
Jepsen It was just fun, as it always is with Josh and Tav. In five days we had it written, produced, mixed, and mastered. We all felt pretty excited, but none of us expected this.
September 2011: "Call Me Maybe" is released in Canada as the lead single from Jepsen's EP Curiosity. It enters the Canadian Singles Chart at No. 97. In October, Jepsen shoots the video.
Jepsen I was given a heads-up from a local radio DJ. He said he planned to play the song later that night, so my roommate ran out and grabbed champagne and we tuned in at the right time and toasted. We may have had a little living-room dance party.
Ogilvie When it came out in Canada, it was successful almost immediately. The excitement we were getting in Canada really led to what happened next. If we had only gotten what we had gotten there, I would [still] have been proud of it.
Ben Knechtel, video director Carly and I first worked together in 2008. I've actually directed her last four videos. When I was in college I made this video for a school project where I was washing a car like Jessica Simpson in The Dukes of Hazzard in these Daisy Duke shorts, and I had borrowed a bikini top from a girl in one of my classes. It was just a ridiculous, over-the-top parody of the classic car-wash scene. I always thought it was funny and wanted to use that idea again. "Call Me Maybe" ended up being that outlet.
Scooter Braun, manager for Justin Bieber and head of Jepsen's U.S. label School Boy Records Her video is genius. That ending [where the guy Jepsen has a crush on turns out to be gay] is so smart and so funny.
Knechtel It was a relatively small video shoot. We shot it in 12 hours in Langley, British Columbia, which is about 40 minutes outside of Vancouver. It was the day before Halloween. I remember that we had to take down some Halloween decorations because we wanted it to be a summer video.
Jepsen Things in Canada started to pick up. More stations added the song, and every day my manager called with more good news.
December 2011: Justin Bieber hears the song on the radio while back in Canada for Christmas.
Braun Justin was hanging out with some friends, and a couple of girls he knows really liked the song. So he tweeted about how much he liked it. I saw it and asked, "What the hell is that?" I listened to it, and right away I thought it was one of the best pop records I've heard in the past 10 years.
Jepsen I'd never met Justin, so his tweet threw me. Suddenly, [because of him] people from Germany and Australia were listening.
Braun I went into overdrive, tracked her down, got in touch. When I was almost in the process of signing her, I called Justin and said, "Guess what? I signed Carly Rae Jepsen, and I wouldn't have known about her if it wasn't for you, so I want to make you my partner in it."
Jepsen It was like pressing a go button.
February 2012: A video featuring Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, and members of Big Time Rush singing along to the song and goofing around goes viral.
Braun Justin has always been an amazing catalyst. The first video to go viral was actually by [Bieber's swagger coach] Ryan Good and [Pretty Little Liars actress] Ashley Benson. It's them on a plane with Justin and they're dancing around singing to it.
Carlos Pena Jr., singer for Big Time Rush I was at my house, and Selena was over with my girlfriend, Sam. We were all just hanging out, and Selena was like, "Ugh, Justin and [Bieber video producer] Alfredo [Flores] keep singing this song, it's so annoying." So she played it, and me and Sam were like, "That's pretty catchy." Alfredo came over and I pulled out my camera, and we just shot those first couple of scenes in the kitchen to have fun. Then it just kept happening — there's footage in there from Germany, from London. We could have made two or three completely different videos.
Jepsen I hadn't met Justin yet and knew nothing about [the video]. One day it just landed on my Facebook, and I was like, "Oh my God."
Braun The pure excitement and the organic nature of it led to the rest of [the viral clips], from the Obama one to Katy Perry to James Franco to the Harvard baseball team. The reason it's still going months later is that the song is so fun and so undeniable. It never gets old.
Knechtel I remember calling my mom when [the official video] hit a million views, and now it's at 100 million. Everything else is just kind of gravy. [As of press time, the number of views had climbed to 115 million.]
June 13, 2012: After three weeks at No. 2, "Call Me Maybe" finally unseats Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" as the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.
Ogilvie It's mind-blowing to me. I've worked with lots of big artists, but the amount of notoriety this song has taken on is just amazing. I thought I had seen it all with Marilyn Manson, but this is a whole new level.
Jepsen Josh and Tav and I laugh when we think about how all this started. Looking forward, I don't want to change a thing. I had a full CD ready to be released, but then with this whole experience and getting to travel, I've written a lot more. So we're kind of reopening everything. This is my chance to work with some big names, but also work with the same guys I always have, because we have such a great chemistry. There's a loyalty there. And I did a song with Justin [Bieber] that will most likely be on the record as well.
Braun She has the duet with Justin. She has an amazing duet with Owl City, and [superproducer] Max Martin sent me a song for her…. When I found out "Call Me Maybe" went number one, I said, "It couldn't have happened to a better person." It's definitely the song of the summer, and might be the best song of the year. Kind of like how "I Kissed a Girl" launched Katy Perry, I think we're about to see the same thing with Carly Rae. For us, the focus isn't "Call Me Maybe" anymore. The focus is on a real artist who has talent and charisma, and now we have to deliver hits two, three, four, and five.
Jepsen I was in Mexico City [recently] in front of 300,000 people. Police shut down the city. I was Justin's "surprise guest," and I went out there and lost my breath for a second. Then I realized sound was coming from the audience. They were singing every word of "Call Me Maybe." And I thought, this is crazy.
[Correction: The print version of this story erroneously listed Scooter Braun as Jepsen's manager. Jonathan Simkin is actually her manager.]
Who's That Guy?
The shirtless, tattooed object of affection in the song's official video is Holden Nowell, a Canadian model and actor (he also raps under the name H Da 6'Trey) who answered a local casting call. "I think we saw 10 guys," explains director Ben Knechtel. "Carly was there with me, and she was just like, 'Oh, yeah. That one."' But fame wasn't without its hazards: "It was freezing cold that day," reveals Knechtel. "Some of the crew were in parkas, and poor Holden couldn't wear a shirt." "Call Me Maybe" Viral Videos: The Highlights
The song has launched a thousand online tributes, from presidents (see the Obama "singing" superedit) and puppies (yes, there's a Corgi Rae Jepsen) alike. Here, a survey of the most memorable so far — maybe.
Katy Perry Call Me… Sloppy. In a jerkily shot clip, Perry and friends dance, drink, and occasionally remember to mouth the correct lyrics. (Pity the poor inflatable pool monkey who gets it on the chorus.) Grade B-
James Franco Call Me… Beardy. The hirsute actor brings Method intensity — also: falsetto! — though he may not quite have memorized the script yet. And is it safe to "Call" while driving? Grade B
The Harvard Baseball Team Call Me… Coordinated. The boys retain perfect poker faces as they execute a near-flawless Ivy League hand jive. Except you, Mr. Winky. We saw that. Grade B+
Jimmy Fallon and the Roots Call Me… Kindergarten.Jepsen joins the Late Night crew as they re-create her hit with classroom instruments. (Hey there, rainbow xylophone!) Grade A-
Colin Powell Call Me… Merman. The former secretary of state makes like Ethel in his vaudeville-charming rendition of the chorus, taped during an ad break on CBS This Morning. Grade A

Alpha 5 Bugs/quarks
*Fixed think the 3 main issues here are: you cant join without adjusting the view distance slider, can't kill animals, and the excess lag that is now here probably due to the animals. the rest is kind of more looks and stuff which wouldnt really stop someone from playing.
This list is not longer relevant! these were for 5.0 v1 only. i have not tested the other versions. I am no longer updating this list
side note: this was just a quick list i threw together for 5.0v1 if there is anything not right let me know in a PM and i can change it. i could very well be wrong :)
world is white on load up. everything looks like snow!
when picking up wood it does not show the image right away all the time
*Fixed i went from being able to play on max setting with good frames to low settings with lower frames. optimization you will probably work out and not a bug just worth noting. probably due to to many animals?
Fixed Can't kill animals with axe or bow. you already stated you would get it fixed tomorrow but just noting it here.
Fixed cant get meat at all
audio setting don't stay where you put them. i hear you can try deleting registry settings.
Shift + Click on split stack does not work correctly. it allows the slider but does not allow you to press "ok" can hit "cancel"
tools on other players backpacks are purple!
while walking around i found the end of the world and fell untill the land finally loaded in.
some tiles with water in it on the map will turn the whole tile blue. not all but a lot even though there is only water on a small portion. scrolling in seems to make it go away but looks goofy slightly zoomed out.
I'm standing in some water that on the map it doesn't show it as water just sand in certain locations
huckleberries use to have its own seed icon now it shares the same icon as the berry. i like you made the wheat seed have its own icon. i know we talked about how a berry is the seed but if we are to have separate items they should have separate pictures too maybe.
Server went down at about 12:13 AM PST not sure if crash or you guys brought it down.
water falls are full of holes.
Fixed orientation of tools in the avatar panel is a bit off.
certain sized logs can not be picked up which mean it must be 6 or more but when cutting it in half you get two 2 pieces which you can pick up at the same time.
prickly pear population went from 0 to 2. maybe cause by there being no areas worthy to having some worthy prickly pear locations after time.
when scrolling in a workbench if it is over the map it scrolls there too.
This was in A4 as well, but you can put items into a container or bench if you stand outside your house where it is located.
sometimes wood vanishes when placing it to fast and while its having a lag spike.
Fixed i notice animals load for a far distance even with the view distance turned down all the way. makes for weird landscape of hundreds of floating animals
was not able to craft a certain amount of food even though i have enough materials. i think it is taking into account my efficiency on the order screen but not when you craft and says you don't have enough materials.
says the 4x4 area for planting wheat is over populated with 10 plants competing. no plants all around even cut the common grass.
if you do it right you can pick up 2 dirt blocks at once some times.
when you get wood from a container or at least the workbench with the axe it says "unspecified reason" in chat. nothing bad happens just it says that.
multiple people but not myself have claimed to have getting an error about full backpack when it was not.
I found a small bunch grass plant hardly grown and i can get unlimited bunch grass seeds from it.
was transferring a bunch of berries to my fire and it kicked me out and said no matching segment or something like this,
need "cooking" skill to unlock campfire but the "campfire cooking" skill is under survival. makes no sense?
*30% mature cedar tree yields 132 wood. seems off
if you don't close your chest or workbench screen you can walk as far away as you want and move the items around long distance easy.
no deed for cart?
after letting go of a cart it still shows me the road efficiency amount.

How about keeping the world save in the old state with users.eco and stuff again? Why the hell did you have to put it into one file? Any way i can split them using programs? Or is there a purchasable version without merged storage files available? Thx for reply @ecodevs

I'll post here the bugs I found in the A5 :
If you eat something which is in the toolbar by right-clicking when it is selected, you will it eat twice and its number will not decrease. It doesn't do so if you right click on the toolbar.
Very laggy (I know you said it but I tried with a 0.25km² map and it is still the same) compared to A4 and for the same settings.
The world seems overcrowded with animals, this might be causing the lag as there is so much animals to show. (I tried to mess with the generation values in the server settings but it only makes it crash.)
When I try to open the minimap, I get a few seconds of freeze, the window show up but no minimap inside.
The reflection of the water is blinking.
- The farmer table have the skin of the butcher table, on the miniature and in the world
This is what I found for now
Prayr last edited by Prayr
Guys the lag, try messing with the sliders, and take minimap detail to the lowest settings.
Wheat seed does not stack automatically.
Beet seed does not stack automatically.
Corn seed does not stack automatically.
I'm NOT near water, but I can hear water, sounds like ocean waves on the sand, not the waterfall sounds.
How much, if any, is the farming affected at this point by the stats in the seed description. I am currently standing in a location, beet seed says 0% growth rate, bean seed says 0% growth rate, but I just harvested beet and been a few tiles apart from where I am standing. So, does 0% growth rate mean it wont grow in that location? If so, its broken.
Server went down:
When inventory is full, you learn a skill that gives you an item IE. chest, ax, shovel, it will crash the client, upon relogging, you have the skill, but no item. Should be a checksum for inventory space before applying the skill, or have a temporary overflow slot, or make it go into your carry slot.

I had all settings bottomed out. Helped with the lag a lot but could probably worked on as I was able to have max settings. Now low. Also the wheat seeds. I did not have that problem. There is a bug/quark where if it's in the back pack and you pick up more it goes to hotbar.

It feels like every tooltip was removed, i cannot see any nutrients of food in the campfire. They only show up after i cooked the meal. Would be nice if we could get them back.
And all animals are on noclip, nothing can hit them.
panisch last edited by
the tooltip thing is quite important id say. i dont want to miss all that information.
nutritions on food, room requirements on workbenches. when you have the actual item in your inventory you can see that information, but not while/before crafting it (tooltip in the crafting bench).
but most importantly skill benefits! how much exactly am i getting when i level up yield or efficiency?
craig.jong last edited by
Animal collision should be fixed in the next update.
A lot of the lag can be attributed to animals not EVER being removed, even when you move out of range of them. Hence the floating horizon of animals. The number of animals created by the simulation is also being rebalanced, though those numbers were inflated by some incorrect grass placement in a lot of cases. Both of those things are being fixed.
The data given by the farming tool, seed tooltip, and most things that draw from world layers are giving incorrect information due to an extremely minor bug. This should also be fixed.
No promises, but we're looking to get a fix out for those things (which are fairly major bugs) by tomorrow. I wanted to let you all know that we're fixing these bugs and we appreciate the advanced testing you guys are doing! We do read this stuff and it helps a ton when figuring out what's going wrong and what to prioritize.
Almost forgot! Tooltips are something that I haven't looked at in a while; likely broke during some other updates that we did to skills/items/etc a while back. I'll look into it after the major bugs are fixed but it likely won't be right away.

Oak trees don't seem to be able to be picked up. I cut several down, chopped the tree up to the smallest piece I could before going too small to destroy it altogether and get an error;
Inventory Full: Can not pick up 10 logs (max 5)
It would appear that even the smallest piece of Oak is considered to be 10 logs, and goes all the way up to 26 logs is the biggest I could get in a part of the tree that was green and not yellow, which obviously gave me the same error; Inventory Full: Can not pick up 26 logs (max 5).
cyrus1087 last edited by
I have ferns in my 2nd slot of my inventory and when i highlight them and right click to eat them they dont come out of my inventory. Also cedar saplings seem to produces much more wood than full grown cedars
thanks for the reply craig-jong! just making this list for you guys. i feel like once the animal issues are fixed it will be a decent version! keep up the good work guys!
i keep editing in more so if you keep an eye on it there might be something new
Prayr last edited by
Not sure if its been pointed out yet, seems there are several threads with feedback about A5 testing. Perhaps one of the forum admin guys could consolidate them and start a pinned thread with A5 bug reports / feedback so they are all in one place.
Anyway, Farmers Table looks like Butcher Table when you place it in the world.
pan7s last edited by
there is this thread that i made and the dev actually did make a pinned thread under "general" for known bugs as well.
i have posted what i know in both sections. if everyone sticks to these 2 threads it should be organized enough hopefully.
also i think the butcher table is a better place holder for the farmers table then the chest model :P
EvilKeneviI last edited by
Everyone was promised a full release on the 24th, but honestly we got a buggy mess, I understand its alpha and stuff, but they should have said a pre-alpha 5 release instead of a full release.
I think they tried their hardest and just couldn't make it achievable. they decided to call it a "pre-release" probably because if they called it a full release people would be mad. they are doing their best and working really hard on the next version to fix the major issues! We don't want to pressure them to much! Give them time and they will give us greatness :)
in the mean time 4.2 works great still!
Please though try to only report bugs in this thread
panisch last edited by
as much as id like a working version NOW, i think this is a good compromise. if you really want to see the new content and changes they made, then you can, but obviously it's bugged. or you can stick to alpha 4.2 and wait.
i personally rather see the progress and help with some bugreports than have nothing released and wait another couple weeks until a fully working version. but each to their own. you cant magically throw out a bugfree version if you dont have one.
i think being transparent here and including the community is a great move from SLG, instead of going the "sorry we have to push it another 4 weeks"-route.
this is alpha after all, thats what i signed up for early.
Stressinout last edited by
Is anybody having issues with their alpha 5 servers not showing time moving forward at all? We are stuck at 8:00 am on day one and it's not moving forward any. Does anyone know of any remedies to help fix this? My guess its a bug in the alpha stage or something in the server config files.
Metachronism last edited by
On your server, set the TimeOfDayScale on the simulation tab to 48 (30 minute days). We frequently set this to zero for testing, and it snuck into the build that way.

Awesome thank you! That was a rather easy fix.

The historian Greg Grandin's just published Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesmen is a fascinating work of scholarship for its broad overview of the development of Kissingerist diplomacy, and its subtle criticism of the relation between history and the Elite.
Grandin contests the prevalent opinion that Kissinger's realpolitik was an amoral realism, and holds instead that Kissinger was inspired by German idealists and French existentialists to craft a diplomacy of existentialist constructivism of constitutive power acts, a worldview where, cyclically, action provides American purpose, and American purpose provides reason for action. While Reagan's New Right and the neocons came to power denouncing what they saw as the amoralism of Kissinger's pursuit of détente with China and SALT agreements with Soviet Russia, Grandin argues that their constructivist idealism of action that transcends the brute facts of reality, where statesmen supposedly do not have time to consider the history behind the events unfolding, has origin in Kissinger's realpolitik. The 'national security state' as we know it as a state at perpetual war to construct American purpose, thus, says Grandin, originates with the radical idealism of Kissinger.
The focus of Kissinger's Shadow is on the writings of Kissinger as much as it is on his actual statecraft, and there the focus is predominantly on the bombing of Cambodia. But there also seems to be an implied critique of power and history and a deeper analysis of Elitism that transcends the story of Kissinger to see Elitist power as being unmoored from historical facts and reflection on these facts. The power of the Elite is manifest as Elite Power precisely in its not being limited by the norms of finite existence as the intersection of memory and identity. By contrast, we, the demos, cannot help but live in and contribute our memory and identity to a greater collective memory and identity. The demos draws its strength from this collective memory that guides action, whereas the Elite finds its power in not being beholden to a certain, what Sartre would call, facticity. This way of adding further nuance to the framing of the Elite/Demos distinction suggests that the demos might call on the Elite to acknowledge their parts and origin in the collective memory in order to compel them to rule more justly.

Florida Treatment Centers for Addiction
Florida treatment centers for addiction can help you end an addiction for the long-term.
Addiction takes a major toll on all areas of your life. Ending an addiction, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, almost always requires treatment. That's because addiction typically has underlying causes that must be addressed in order to successfully end the substance abuse. Florida treatment centers for addiction help people address a variety of issues and develop the skills they need for long-term abstinence.
Inpatient vs. Outpatient Treatment
Florida treatment centers for addiction offer both inpatient and outpatient treatment.
Inpatient Treatment
Inpatient treatment involves living at a residential facility for the duration of the program. Inpatient treatment is essential for people who have:
- A long addiction history.
- Been in treatment before.
- A co-occuring mental illness.
- An unsafe or unstable living situation.
- Ambivalence toward recovery.
Inpatient treatment has a number of benefits over outpatient treatment. Inpatient Florida treatment centers for addiction:
- Provide a high level of peer and staff support and supervision.
- Allow you to focus solely on recovery without external stressors or triggers getting in the way.
- Involve a variety of intensive therapies that help you overcome your addiction.
- Offer a safe, stable, and structured living environment.
- Promote healthy lifestyle habits and good nutrition to help you heal from the effects of the addiction.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient treatment can be successful for people who have:
- Strong intrinsic motivation to recover.
- A safe, stable place to live.
- Strong support at home and in the community.
- Good physical and mental health aside from the addiction.
- Daily transportation to the outpatient facility.
Outpatient treatment is less expensive than inpatient rehab, and outpatient Florida treatment centers for addiction:
- Allow you to continue working, going to school, or caring for the family while you're in treatment.
- Enable you to put into immediate practice the skills and strategies you learn in treatment.
- Offer a higher level of privacy, since there's no need to explain an extended absence.
A Holistic Program is Essential
Florida best rehab centers are those that offer a holistic approach to treatment. A holistic approach addresses issues of body, mind, and spirit for whole-person healing. Through a variety of traditional and complementary therapies, holistic Florida treatment programs for substance abuse help you delve into the complex issues that underlie your addiction and address your multiple needs.
Traditional Therapies
Traditional therapies are those that have been shown through a large body of research to be effective on their own for treating addiction. The most commonly used traditional therapies in Florida best rehab centers include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy, which helps you learn to think and behave in healthy ways.
- Family therapy, which helps you restore function to the family system.
- Motivational interviewing, which helps you identify your own personal reasons for wanting to end your addiction.
Complementary Therapies
Complementary therapies are those that have been shown through research to be effective for treating addiction when used along with traditional therapies. Some of the most commonly used complementary therapies in treatment include:
- Art therapy, which helps you express difficult emotions and synthesize troubling experiences.
- Nutritional therapy, which helps you restore your health and stabilize your mood.
- Biofeedback, which helps you learn to reduce your body's stress response on the spot.
- Restorative yoga, which reduces stress and improves self-awareness.
Traditional and complementary therapies take place in group and individual settings and help you:
- Address the issues that contributed to the substance abuse.
- Develop a toolkit of skills and strategies to cope with stress, cravings, and other triggers.
- Repair damaged relationships and learn healthy communication and relationship skills.
- Find purpose in a life without drugs or alcohol.
- Find ways to have fun and enjoy a life of sobriety.
Florida Treatment Programs for Substance Abuse Work
Recovering from an addiction isn't easy, but then, neither is being addicted. High quality, holistic Florida treatment programs for substance abuse offer the best possible chances of recovery. Most people who enter treatment and engage with their treatment plan recover for the long-term and restore their lives on many fronts. Treatment works, and it can work for you or someone you love.
If you or a loved one needs help with abuse and/or treatment, please call the WhiteSands Treatment at (877) 855-3470. Our addiction specialists can assess your recovery needs and help you get the addiction treatment that provides the best chance for your long-term recovery.

2 reviews for IQ Pads Large 6 Pairs
I was given this unit for Christmas a year ago. I love it! It helps areas in my back and neck. I have gone to therapy for my back and used their unit, but I like this one better. The good thing about this unit is …it travels! I am reordering the larger pads since I am familiar with the size. I might order the small pads next time.
Appears to be satisfactory!
