'Devices' wants you to think about your story so far
Seeing Devices live is a very rumbly experience. I'm not kidding — their more energetic songs (Conquistador, Keep Me in Mind) usually have the entire gig venue literally shaking with the stomping of eager, excited feet. On more languid, melancholic tracks (the enigmatic Fools, T.E.O.S.), the energy is transmitted differently.
Lead singer Austin Tan croons over his microphone as if it were the last thing tethering him to the stage he's standing on. The mood sombers, blanketing the crowd as Austin sings the last line of T.E.O.S.
Drummer Enzo Alampay agrees with this observation: "If I were to describe our set, I would use the words 'dynamic' and 'balanced.' We showcase our different sounds and we usually try to spread out the energy of the set. We also usually put our focus on learning after a set, in terms of cohesiveness and fit. It's the fun that comes with it."
As a fan of both Devices' live sets and their 2018 EP "The Element of Surprise" ("T.E.O.S."), I was very excited to see how the band would evolve their sound with the recent announcement of a new single, especially after seeing their hilarious Parasite-inspired band photoshoot.
And they did — Tell Me, Is There Anyone (TMITA), their grand entrance into the so-far questionable new year, is a culmination of the band's sound progression, a clear evolutionary arc from Flowers (a song that the band looks back at as a folly of their youth, but if you're curious, you can still listen to this chapter of their life on Spotify), to the ominously-named TMITA and the new album.
I sat down with the band to talk about this arc, at possibly the worst time to do so. Amidst the biological scare, Austin (vocals and rhythm guitar), Arik Gatchalian (lead guitar), Andrea Ramos (synthesizer), Enzo (drums), Javi Serrano (bass), and Jacob Ferrer (main producer and synthesizer) still remain steadfast in their dedication towards making progress on the album.
"Our priority for now is keeping safe, we'll see with all the hullabaloo going on," says Austin.
Like many other budding musical projects, Devices was a band born out of college boredom. Arik puts it bluntly: 'I asked [the other members of the band], do you want to join a band? They said yes, and the rest is history.'
Like many other budding musical projects, Devices was a band born out of college boredom. Arik puts it bluntly: "I asked [the other members of the band], do you want to join a band? They said yes, and the rest is history."
Unlike the majority of college projects though, Devices did not end up as a barren group chat nor a mess of destroyed relationships. They ended up with actual goals to work towards.
"Wag lang sana baduy," Austin jokes. "But really, at first we wanted to be this big and famous band, but now that we're older that's kind of not the direction we're headed towards. My vision for the band to be [an inspiration] towards those starting out, towards other bands in the scene. Also, finish the album.
Arik: "This was supposed to be an electronic band."
Arik again, but quieter this time: "It did not become an electronic band."
2018's "The Element of Surprise" signaled a change from Devices' innocuous college-based beginnings. Conquistador and the title track became instant hits in their live sets, putting the local music scene on full notice.
Each member went through their "age of discovery," as Austin puts it, while coming up with the EP.
"I went through shit," Austin shares. "At the time I still lived in Q.C, so I'd often hang out with Jacob and Arik [and brainstorm]." On which songs came first in the EP: "Confusing, I already wrote Conquistador on our hiatus, but I let them hear T.E.O.S. first. It's kind of like that Pokemon meme with Arceus, Rhydon, Mew, and Bulbasaur. But in the first place, I already had a sonic direction and vision for the EP, and I think it really showed."
Andrea dealt with the matter systematically: "It was a long process. It took us a while to find a direction to pursue with our music. I think I can give a good example: when we started out, I had no idea how to incorporate synthesizers into our sound, especially since early on [pre-EP] we were doing stereotypical indie songs. Fools was when we began to understand all our roles and instruments in the context of the band [and it built from there.]"
Interestingly enough, with the release of Tell Me, Is There Anyone, and the foreboding album release, the band notes that the creative process has become quite different. Javi: "I feel that everyone in the band has their own musical prowess and it culminates into the songs we have today. We usually just gather in Enzo's attic and build on really bare ideas."
Andrea notes the more collaborative nature of their recent songwriting: "I think we're at a point in our band-ship [Andrea's term for familial love within a band] that we're comfortable with telling each other what we like and don't like." Indeed, Tell Me, Is There Anyone is quite the sonic departure from previous singles such as Conquistador; it's longer, darker, more distorted, and even more bombastic.
Austin's lyricism is also a noticeable difference between releases; his lyrics in T.E.O.S center around the aforementioned "age of discovery," the cyclical, youthful period of making mistakes and learning from them. Two years later, Tell Me, Is There Anyone deals with more existential matters, the times in your life when you just want to disintegrate and dissipate.
"At its core, [TMITA] is a turning point for me again. It's very personal and honest, which I try to be nowadays, in comparison to the EP being more youthful and naive. Now that I'm a bit older and more cynical, I guess the song just paints a new truth." It's a fitting, natural progression, one that should perfectly complement T.E.O.S's themes.
So what can we expect from the band moving forward this 2020? "More content revolving around the songs we'll be coming out with. I don't know, maybe a music video or something?" Javi winked at me as he said this. According to Arik though, there is one secret 2020 project the band's willing to divulge: "TikTok."

GT-191 V2 and PW507 compatibility.
I just bought a PW507 to replace my broken stylus of my GT-191 V2 display tablet and it doesn't work.
The Huion Store page (https://store.huion.com/products/battery-free-pen-pw507) mentions that it should work, but I'm not getting any response whatsoever from the display tablet. The cursor doesn't even react when I put the tip near the tablet's surface, my old stylus although broken still activates the cursor.
I've tried reinstalling the driver and my firmware seems to be up to date according to the FW updater app (M18a_0719) but still nothing happens.
So, is the PW507 not compatible with the GT-191 V2?

On This Date in Sports September 21, 1982: No Football League
In collaboration with the Sportsecyclopedia.com
The NFL season grinds to a halt as the players go on strike following Week 2. The strike, which lasted 57 days, wiped out seven weeks of the regular season, with players only seeing modest increases in salary and playoff bonuses once a new Collective Bargaining Agreement was ratified. The Players' Association wanted a wage scale based on the percentage of gross revenue, demanding 55%.
As players strived to achieve true free agency, a labor battle in NFL only seemed inevitable. There had previously been a preseason strike in 1970 and 1974 that was unable to achieve their goals. With the expiration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement before the 1982 season, players looking for more leverage decided to follow the lead of the baseball players by striking in the middle of the season. Players had wanted 55% of gross revenue to be dedicated to player salaries.
The strike would go into effect with the conclusion of a Monday Night Game at the Meadowlands between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers. The Packers would win the game 27-19, with the game ending just after midnight. During the strike, players attempted to stay busy by organizing a pair of All-Star Games which drew little interest from fans, as just 8,760 fans were on hand at RFK Stadium in Washington, with 5,331 fans attending a game at the Los Angeles Coliseum, as only a few of the top players in the league chose to participate. NBC attempted to satisfy football appetites by showing games from the Canadian Football League, while CBS replayed the previous year's Super Bowl and showed Division III football games.
As the strike dragged into November, the players' resolve began to weaken as they wanted and needed to get back to work. On November 16th, a deal was reached after a full day of negotiations, ending the strike after 57 days. Players reported to their teams the following day and were back on the field five days later. The new five-year deal showed the Players' Association as the definitive loser. They ended up settling for an agreement not too dissimilar to the one offered by NFL Commissioner Peter Rozelle before the season began. This led to a revolt in the union that led to Executive Director Ed Garvey's ouster after the strike. The 57-day strike was the most prolonged professional work stoppage at the time, breaking the record of the 50-day strike set by Major League Baseball a year earlier.
The NFL worked quickly to salvage the remainder of the 1982 season with seven games canceled. Seeing the season reduced to nine games, with the final week going into January, marking the first time the regular season would end after the New Year. The NFL also decided to change the playoff format calling for a 16-team tournament at the end of the season, with the best eight teams in each conference making the playoffs. While the postseason format promised excitement in January, it was hard not to see what was lost by the strike. The canceled games included both matchups between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. The strike also delayed the Los Angeles debut of the Raiders, who played the first two games on the road in their first season after moving from Oakland.

"Physical Sessions"
In Re-evaluation Counseling, "physical sessions" can happen in at least three different ways:
1. We can play together physically and in the process release tension with laughter and feel closer to others. (Children do this spontaneously all the time.)
2. With some outside assistance, we can try physical activities that, because of earlier traumas, we would not otherwise try.
3. We can physically step out of the passivity or silence installed by earlier traumas by physically struggling against a trusted person's thoughtful resistance.
Infants have an innate ability to heal from emotional distress—and after a release that involves their whole physical self, they often rest deeply or re-engage with fresh, relaxed energy.
Children spontaneously seek emotional release from experiences of being dominated by having what adults call "tantrums." They also work through feelings in the games that they play. Play-wrestling, tackling, chasing, and being chased are favorite pastimes. When the children aren't frozen in having to win, such games can go on for hours in a fluid way, with lots of laughter and closeness.
As we grow older, traumas big and small may accumulate faster than they can be fully healed, and we may become resigned to feelings of defeat and stop initiating emotional release. However, we can regain access to our natural healing process, and the supportive presence of another person helps.
Many of our early defeats had physical components—for example, being drugged or physically dominated. To recover from these, we can contradict the passivity we were forced into by trying all-out in a way we couldn't at the time and physically struggling against someone who is providing thoughtful physical resistance. This can look like what is thought of as wrestling. It is, however, quite different. Winning is not the object. Rather, one person is struggling against old feelings of defeat, while the other is providing thoughtful resistance.

The New York Times slithers on to a bonfire of its vanities. Recent outrages include depicting Iraq vets as pre-disposed to murder when they return home. In fact journalists are more pre-disposed to murder. I dunno, I'm pre-disposed to favour the class of people who volunteer to defend my freedom, but I'm also pre-disposed to despise the class of people who are pre-disposed to libel the class of people who are pre-disposed to defend my freedom.
And that's why I've just bet that the New York Times' stock price will go up from $14.30 with a stop at $12.30. It's a 'catch a falling knife' kind of bet as can be seen from the graph. The NYT market cap. has been murdered since the invasion of Iraq, down more than 70%.
The Times has deep-seated negatives:
1. It is a lying, treacherous, cowardly, unlearning thing.
2. It has shallow pockets.
3. The Sulzberger family controls the voting stock.
4. New media like Craigslist are taking the Times' traditional revenue streams.
5. Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal has the Times in its crosshairs.
But most of this is priced in. It also has positives:
1. The brand, which is mixed in with New York's brand. After all it is the leading paper of the leading country in the world. In other businesses that cachet could be worth billions.
2. The content: its site is very decent and much of its reporting is worthwhile. It's archive may be worth hundreds of millions.
3. The property: eg the new Renzo Piano HQ right opposite the Port Authority bus station and virtually on Times Square is probably the best recent skyscraper in America.
4. The equally ugly sister: I doubt the Boston Globe's value is less than zero.
Here's a nice piece of speculation that Google might buy the Times.

After months of dropping hard-hitting freestyles, Houston-based rising artist Sally Sossa has released a new EP titled 4EVER SOSSA. Released on March 25, the 10-track EP features collaborations from rappers BigKayBeezy and Flo Milli. In a press conference ahead of the release, Sossa described 4EVER SOSSA as an unskippable project which will make one cry, smile, and feel motivated.
BMB Third Productions
Known for the tagline "Damn B*tch Third Go Crazy," BMB Third has worked with Sally Sossa on the freestyle "Boss Me Up" and previous records "Intro" and "Chosen." She then recruited the Houston-based producer on the songs "How Long is Forever," "Just Say Dat," "Moncler Coat," and "TMU" from her new EP. The 20-year old has had a rough past and uses her music to empower listeners. On these tracks, Sossa preaches honesty, overcoming struggles, self-love, and self-reliance.
In 2021, ahead of the album release, the rapper had dropped "Moncler Coat" and "TMU" (an acronym for Turn Me Up). Both co-produced by CJ On The Track, Sossa talks about her hustles, growth, and wins. A fan favorite, "Moncler Coat" sees Sossa dream of a luxurious future. Through the songs on the EP, Sossa hopes to take her fans to another world, one with fewer problems and vices. In her words, "there's a lot going on right now in society." Sossa does not see her songs as a distraction but as a source of inspiration for when fans are going through tough times.
The Challenging Records
On "Zodiac Sign," the third track off the EP, Sally Sossa does a melodic rap about the various zodiac signs. "Zodiac Sign is my baby," Sossa said with a big smile. According to the rapper, she was two months into wrapping up the EP when she created it. Sossa described the making of "Zodiac Sign" as a challenge. She recalled having to find the perfect beat for the song and to write and embody the aspiration of each zodiac sign.
Another challenging record on the EP is the Flo Milli assisted "Toot It Up." On a beat produced by renowned producer, DA Got That Dope, Sally Sossa raps about her physical attributes for the first time in her career. In line with her goal of motivating people through her music, "Toot It Up" is all about self-appreciation as a woman. Stepping outside her comfort zone, Sossa sings about having a pretty face and a skinny waist with a 30-inch weave. Sally believed Flo Milli complemented her own rapping style, which is why she reached out to the other female rapper for the song.
Still Sally Sossa
Despite showing a new side on 4EVER SOSSA, Sossa kept to her style, blending hard-hitting flows with stories of struggles and perseverance. Over steady and melodic beats, Sossa shares her life story and talks about her newfound fame while commenting on people's attitudes toward her. In "Number One," she embraces her new status, comparing her old and new self. "But I still came out number one," Sossa sings, despite her past pains, losses, loneliness, and going through hell. "Weird 2 Me" showcases a more aggressive Sally Sossa who takes a swipe at haters, and questions their attitude while reminding them of her current status. Claiming people do not show loyalty nowadays, Sossa moves on to "Bop It," reminding listeners she has gone from attending pizza parties as a child to now throwing visa parties. Sossa, emphasizing her status, brags about her career and money alongside rapper BigKayBeezy.
Ideal Collaborations
Since 2019 when she emerged in the industry, Sally Sossa has collaborated with rappers Toosii and her mentor, Lil Durk. Having received a co-sign from rapper French Montana, Sally hopes to work with rappers Polo G, Drake, and singer Olivia Rodrigo whose voice she believes compliments her own. Furthermore, Sossa stated she would love to work with video director Cole Bennett, the director behind Eminem's "Godzilla" and Juice Wrld's "Lucid Dreams. Highly commending celebrity hairstylist Tokyo Stylez for her aesthetics and glamorous style, Sally also expressed her desire to be styled by the wigmaker someday.

I was having a conversation with my friend and Tai Chi partner yesterday on our way back from class about the nature of happiness. Please do not treat this article as a lecture of some sort. This is written from the heart and with good intent.
Someone I know often laments on the way her life has turned out…about how things aren't working out as she would have liked them to have been . About how her marriage isn't the ideal coupling of two souls she had read about in her romance novels (as a girl). About how there is so much responsibility on her that she doesn't find half an hour a day to spend on herself.
She wants to do Yoga, but doesn't have the time. She wants to meditate, but is tired by the time she gets back from work. With a young child to look after, her life isn't as she had envisioned it to be.
This constant sorrow that she goes through is very painful to witness. So I sometimes tell her — we can only change or alter what is in our control. What is not in our control, we cannot do anything but accept it. How people behave is not in our control (unless we are dictators with a predilection for capital punishment of some sort). The only thing we can control in our lives is ourselves and our attitude towards things. All wisdom aside, most of times, these words don't really have much of an impact (given the bestial nature of the one who is delivering them).
I think we all have gone through (are going through or will have to go through) such phases in our lives. And how we decide to meet these challenges define how we will endure these ordeals and how the future course of our life unfolds. And life is the school of constant learning, right? So we have to understand a few things very clearly.
I was watching a movie about a recovering Heroin-addict and the Addicts Anonymous group he used to participate in. They had a very beautiful "mantra" they recited at the end of their meetings.
"Lord give me the serenity to endure things that I cannot control in my life. Give me the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference between the two".
What a beautiful idea! What we need to endure things we cannot control in life is serenity. What better way to be serene than Yoga or Meditation?
What we need to overcome things we can change in life is courage. After all, extricating oneself from a difficult situation can be a scary proposition (especially if it calls for some hard decision-making).
For instance, a friend of mine was once "tricked" into taking up a job that involved him having to betray a friend into losing his job (which he didn't know about at the time he started). This was a friend he hadn't been in touch with for a few years and my friend was hired to take over his position because he had a run-in with the management. During the interview process, my friend was told the first name of the person and that he had resigned on very short notice and that he was to "dive in" and do a knowledge-transfer and take over his role. When this friend of mine actually joined, he learnt that the other gentleman hadn't really quit and the management had abused his vulnerabilty due to his immigration status and were underpaying him, and constantly harassing him. He hadn't really resigned, but they wanted to fire him after a knowledge transfer.
Well, it was needless to say, a very traumatic situation (exacerbated by a personal crisis at that time). My friend had to make some very hard choices and resigned that job and took up another one a good two hours drive away from his home. Thankfully, things worked out for the best and his decision was a good one (career-wise) and my friend ended up finding another employer who really appreciated his talents and gave him the respect he deserved.
The moral of the story here is that it took a great deal of courage to make the decision and I was witness to the struggle my friend had to endure to make up his mind. But at the end, he learnt from this experience and today I would say that he has the serenity to withstand that which he cannot control and the courage to change things he does. And while he is by no means perfect, his experience has taught him the wisdom in that saying (quoted above).
Despite all the outward trappings, happiness is a state of mind. And it can only be achieved internally. External entities only give momentary happiness. The real happiness is within each and every one of us. While it is true that this state isn't reflected in our emotions, moods and situations on a daily-basis, it exists there (within) nonetheless. Only when we start thinking in these lines do we understand the wisdom of our ancestors, who practiced cultivating this inner happiness and great Gurus (I can think of Sri Sri Ravishankar for one, who repeatedly tells his followers the same thing).
When the veils of illusion fall away and the true inner light shines forth, only then are we grounded in "real" happiness. We all know this, at some deep, profound level of our hearts. But we don't know how to act towards getting there…or don't have the energy. I like to approach it one step at a time…given that I am not really all that smart, wise or disciplined in my approach towards life. I guess a lot of us are similar in that aspect — we try and walk. Sometimes we stumble and fall. We have to pick ourselves up and start (sometimes all over again). But as soon as we get a glimse of that real light within, we do get energized and enthused and set forth on yet another one of those million-step journeys.
Like the sage Chinese saying goes — "Even a journey of 10,000 steps begins with that first one"…

The Boy Scouts is getting a name change as girls will soon be welcomed to the organization.
Effective February 2019 the new name for the Boy Scouts program, its older youth program, will be "Scouts BSA."
"The troops will be single in gender, we're not talking about a co-ed program. They're just making it available to both boys and girls. The families told us that's what they preferred and that's what they wanted," said the Scout's Effie Delimarkos.
The parent organization will still be Boy Scouts of America. The Cub Scouts, which will retain its name, has already started admitting girls. Scouts BSA will let boys and girls work to earn the Eagle Scout rank.
One Eagle Scout leader is against it.
"I just don't believe a man can build a girl, the way I can build a girl," said one Eagle Scout.
Some parents support letting girls into the Boy Scouts
"There's no harm in seeing a girl swing an ax and chop a tree. Like, that looks—that feels good."
More than 3,000 girls nationwide have already enrolled in Early Adopter Program.
BSA unveiled the new Scout Me In campaign that features girls for the first time, as well as boys, in its iconic Cub Scout program.
Since announcing the BSA's historic decision to welcome girls into Scouting, more than 3,000 girls across the nation have already enrolled in the BSA's Early Adopter Program and are participating in Cub Scouts ahead of the full launch later this year.
"As we enter a new era for our organization, it is important that all youth can see themselves in Scouting in every way possible. That is why it is important that the name for our Scouting program for older youth remain consistent with the single name approach used for the Cub Scouts," said Michael Surbaugh, Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America. "Starting in February 2019, the name of the older youth program will be 'Scouts BSA,' and the name of our iconic organization will continue to be Boy Scouts of America."

Staff working papers
On Portfolio Separation Theorems with Heterogeneous Beliefs and Attitudes towards Risk
The early work of Tobin (1958) showed that portfolio allocation decisions can be reduced to a two stage process: first decide the relative allocation of assets across the risky assets, and second decide how to divide total wealth between the risky assets and the safe asset. This so called twofund separation relies on special assumptions on either returns or preferences. -
Price Level versus Inflation Targeting under Model Uncertainty
The purpose of this paper is to make a quantitative contribution to the inflation versus price level targeting debate. It considers a policy-maker that can set policy either through an inflation targeting rule or a price level targeting rule to minimize a quadratic loss function using the actual projection model of the Bank of Canada (ToTEM). -
Driving Forces of the Canadian Economy: An Accounting Exercise
This paper analyses the Canadian economy for the post 1960 period. It uses an accounting procedure developed in Chari, Kehoe, and McGrattan (2006). The procedure identifies accounting factors that help align the predictions of the neoclassical growth model with macroeconomic variables observed in the data. -
Uncertainty, Inflation, and Welfare
This paper studies the welfare costs and the redistributive effects of inflation in the presence of idiosyncratic liquidity risk, in a micro-founded search-theoretical monetary model. We calibrate the model to match the empirical aggregate money demand and the distribution of money holdings across households, and study the effects of inflation under the implied degree of market incompleteness. -
A Model of Tiered Settlement Networks
This paper develops a model of settlement system to study the endogenous structure of settlement networks, and the welfare consequences of clearing agent failure. The equilibrium degree of tiering is endogenously determined by the cost structure and the information structure.

These are questions I even have about any adult site, particularly those I uncover via sexhub ads at 2 AM in the morning. Better in some categories in comparison with different platforms out there, however is worse in other respects. So, off I went to get my FREE account so I might see some virtual booty all up on my display screen.
- All in all, I'll say that LiveSexCams won't present a lot in the way in which of fan interplay, nevertheless it greatly delivers in user convenience.
- What is done with that point is entirely up to you, so be positive to look high and low for a model that's going to suit your whole wants.
- To unlock different options like LiveSexCams non-public shows, one ought to pay more money.
- Wanna watch latina sex cams, make Riley Reid deepthroat a dildo on LiveSexCams interactive cams, or jack off to sex?
- You can even stay alone with the girl in a private room.
LiveSexCams.com is a big web portal with online masturbation, which is in style among guys who love to do it with sizzling cam models. It allows clients to remain there free of charge and review naughty videos. However, if you'd wish free cam live sex to set your filter and masturbate with a cam girl as a lot as your preferences, you could have to buy this service. There are numerous choices of videos that the consumer can get pleasure from.
On the positioning, you can find the profiles of actual scorching girls and webcam models as well. Unlike the professional models who just perform their job, common girls can reply to your messages and generally don't thoughts a gathering for a one-night stand. I've been on a few cam sex websites earlier than however nothing like LiveSexCams. This site really takes interactive live sex to the following level. The girls right here on LiveSexCams aren't simply there to take off their clothes and strip naked. No, they take issues a step further, jerking off with you on webcams and doing all types of other nasty stuff.
Why Cant I Entry Any Live Movies On Livesexcams?
Specify their gender, ethnicity, physique kind, and hair colour. After a few seconds, you'll get a primary random companion right in entrance of your webcam. You can even flip in your digicam and mic to begin speaking to them and get to the enterprise. LiveSexCams review reveals that the platform is not an strange live cam site. It allows you to meet sexy users and work together with them, but your conferences are restricted to cam sites. It's a quick and secure way to satisfy your sexual needs together with a horny girl on the webcam. If you're looking for a associate to hitch you when you masturbate, then look no additional than a LiveSexCams membership.
Simply put, LiveSexCams isn't a fantastic, free cam site; it's extra of a premium possibility where many of the nudity and XXX goodness occurs within the private rooms. Suffice it to say LiveSexCams has lots to offer all kinds of sex followers. That is, if you can correctly entry the providers first. On the plus aspect, although, there's a sweet games section where you presumably can watch pro sex stars in interactive "shows", and their exclusive sex clips look great.
Livesexcams Reviews And Testimonials From Actual Members
If I were you, I'd avoid other cam websites and stick with LiveSexCams. I've had one of the best roleplaying fantasies of my life right here on this site. At this level I'm pretty positive that I might be a member for life. Type in what sort of women you want and he'll help you discover the proper jerking match. I'm the kind of man who doesn't like to jerk off on their own by himself. LiveSexCams is a good answer because you'll find a way to simply find cam girls who get naked and masturbate with you reside in cam2cam action. I've by no means seen something so damn sizzling in my complete life!
Luckily, I was able to find her due to Jerky, the LiveSexCams robot who provides you ideas. If Jerky helped me find Sophie, just think about what Jerky can do for you! Tell him what kind of model you're in search of and also you too may find the love of your life. When the model is online, you can join a live public chat the place you'll have the ability to ask some questions or order a performance.
How about jerking to a Virtual Model in an interactive sex shows. Even though I first used it only for the purpose of this review, I'm a bit addicted now and go online to check my favorites tab and see if my favourite cute girls are on. Most girls have a gold menu which is in a position to make them do sure issues for X amount of gold. I informed her i wished to see her once more, so we added each other to our 'favorites list' so that means we can message one another once more on the positioning for one more LiveSexCams session. Not eager to be left behind I take two squirts of lube and be part of her in a jerk off sprint, in any case, that is costing me a greenback a minute, I'm not losing any time. In the private show I can enable my digicam and my microphone, or choose to depart them off. So for this post, I did an in-depth LiveSexCams review, so we are in a position to know the truth behind this cam site and its suspiciously cute masturbation mascot.
Models Profiles High Quality
Besides, the mates are really hot and skilled people who will make you benefit from the interplay. The interface may be very intuitive; you won't get lost in dozens of functions and questionnaires, and that is one other advantage of the net courting site. It's nice that LiveSexCams didn't minimize corners on this division, as they supplied their cam boy part with categories unique to them. This is far more than may be mentioned for different cam sites that simply telephone in all their other cam model sections that don't have girls in them. LiveSexCams is a chat room platform for those looking for a mate to jerk off.
Livesexcams Vs Other Cam Websites: Is It Price Visiting?
I was fairly amazed how actual and intense it felt, like I was hooking up with a model. It was everything intimate that i actually like about sex besides i couldn't truly squeeze her good tits in individual. Not to say, the non-public shows, which cost $4.99 a minute won't be the priciest on the market. However, they're extra center of the highway charges compared to other cam websites, so it's not essentially an affordable camming possibility.
On the home web page, you're going to get a short questionnaire based on which you could be paired up along with your cam companion. They have an AI model as properly where they find and pair somebody up for you randomly. So, you'll be able to just get adventurous and roll the dice & let the LiveSexCams AI decide for you. They present a customized method to discovering your cam-mate. People often wonder what the rationale behind the popularity of LiveSexCams is. The article covers totally different subjects related to the positioning and gives a full LiveSexCams Review.
There's no cell app for LiveSexCams.com, but you presumably can enjoy a modern and convenient cellular version available for all smartphone customers. As long as you've an web connection, you can access all your favourite models, watch their shows, and take part in a chat. Just keep in mind your Gold balance and make sure your connection is always steady. But don't worry, if the connection drops off, LiveSexCams will stop billing, and also you won't lose an extreme amount of cash. Unlike different cam sites, LiveSexCams 'Gold' is strictly equivalent to USD, so no need for complicated conversion rates.
No, your LiveSexCams photos and personal data won't show up in Google Search Results. GOLD is a site foreign money that you could send to a performer anytime! If you like how a performer is interacting with you, giving GOLD is a great way to indicate your appreciation. Usability clever, every little free sex cams thing can still be discovered above the fold even when utilizing the display screen. The video chat part takes up nearly the entire display, with motion buttons discovered beneath it. If you have already got your favorites, you possibly can verify their streaming schedule on their profiles.
There can additionally be a chat box on the backside, the place premium members can type their messages. After verification, this is the place the registration course of gets sophisticated. You will be redirected to a page the place you could be encouraged to improve your membership. There is an choice below to proceed as a basic member.
Free Options
LiveSexCams is among the many most talked-about live sex cam web sites. Potentially, this live sex cam site could very properly be the most user-friendly and convenient cam platform to go to proper now. But as it stands, it's too problematic and, in flip, would possibly veer away some of its viewers who experienced the identical site hiccups that I did. On common, although, LiveSexCams cam models charge around three to 5 gold for a selection of stuff they're keen to do on cam. What I like about how LiveSexCams costs you, although, is that the positioning doesn't require you to go and convert your money to the site's foreign money. Unlike different cam platforms, you're mechanically charged $1 per gold each time you buy something from the site. Ultimately, LiveSexCams is just an affiliate hyperlink for Streamate, meaning someone's making extra cash off of users' clicks – and it's not the models.
You don't even have gold stored in your account, you simply send it to the women instantly by clicking the highest button or by sending a certain quantity. Additionally, LiveSexCams is something I'd recommend if you want a streamlined, convenient approach to watch live cams. It simply doesn't have that trashy, dated feel when it comes to their rooms; it's something that nearly all different live cam sites fail to perform. On the opposite hand, the signup course of to LiveSexCams was frustrating.

Poison Oak is a poisonous plant found along California's coasts, forests, grassy hillsides, and recreation areas. The oil from Poison Oak can cause an itchy rash, which then turns into water blisters. Things that have come in contact with the oil from Poison Oak can also cause an itchy rash (ex. clothing, shoes, pets, strollers, wheelchairs, tools, etc.). The rash then becomes water blisters. The serum from these blisters, however, does not transmit Poison Oak. Developing a Poison Oak rash after exposure is unpleasant for many people. Not to mention, repeated exposure increases sensitivity over time.
Identify Poison Oak
You can spot the plant all year long, though it changes color from green to crimson red in the fall.
- It's typically green in the spring and changes to crimson red in the fall
- It grows into groups of three leaflets with the center leaflet typically growing longer than the other two
- It grows into a dense and leafy shrub, ranging from one to six feet high
- It has a vine-like appearance
- It has either glossy or dull leaves
Treat poison oak rash
- Do not scratch
- Wash itchy and affected areas with lukewarm water right away
- Apply rubbing alcohol or over-the-counter skin cleanser to wash away the oil
- Apply over-the-counter steroid cream to treat dermatitis (skin inflammation)
- Apply calamine lotion to help stop the itching
When to seek medical attention
- If the rash covers much of your body
- If you have many blisters or swelling–especially on your eyelids, face, or genitals
- If you have trouble breathing or swallowing
Prevent poison oak exposure
Poison Oak exposure is more common in warmer weather, when people are more likely to be outdoors. Learn how to prevent potential Poison Oak exposure.
Hiking attire to wear
- Long-sleeved shirt
- Long pants
- Hats and gloves
- Closed-toe shoes or boots
Hiking tips
- Stay on trails and away from bushes where Poison Oak may be present
- Wash your clothes, tools, strollers, wheelchairs, and pets after hiking outdoors as they may have Poison Oak oil on them
- Do not burn Poison Oak as the smoke can cause irritation

Famous Gaming Franchises That Sold Poorly
Their names are famous, but their sales haven't kept pace
Some of the best games in history are represented in the Super Smash Bros. series. Among these include Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, Animal Crossing, and more. If you include elements featured outside of playable characters, Nintendogs and Wii Sports — two of Nintendo's best-selling series ever — also appear in the series.
To think that all those series appearing together means they're created equally, however, would be far from the truth. As a teen, I grew up in the early 2000s when Metroid Prime was being hailed as Nintendo's big holiday-selling game. Surely, this would mean that Metroid would be guaranteed a dedicated future along the likes of the aforementioned titles, right?
Unfortunately, the fate of Metroid has also happened to a number of illustrious, highly-rated series that just didn't catch on to the mass market. Whether it's due to poor sales or poor marketing on the publisher's part, games that received high ratings didn't see the future that other prominent series received. I would like to address some of the best games you might remember that deserved such recognition but failed on the sales level which prompted their respective publishers to drop them, or at least not release games at the same clip as other big IP.
And while these series were not all exclusive to Nintendo consoles, it is fair to state that most of them either started on or found most of their fame, if not sales, on The Big N's systems. And one other thing to keep in mind as you read about these iconic series are the numbers for some of Nintendo's other starring franchises. Zelda is in the neighborhood of 150 million copies sold, Marios is well over 300 million, and Pokemon titles are approaching an astonishing 400 million.
After an 8-year hiatus from Super Metroid's 1994 release, the beloved franchise came back in full form on both the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance in the form of Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion. These November 2002 releases would sell over a million copies in that holiday season. Unfortunately, poor sales in the series' later releases would not guarantee its future.
Metroid: Zero Mission, released in 2004 for GBA, sold under a million copies. The next disappointment, the critical failure of Metroid: Other M, released in 2009 for the Wii, would put the series on hiatus once again. Besides a panned spin-off, Metroid Prime: Federation Force for 3DS, the main series would not see the light of day again until 2017's highly anticipated Metroid: Samus Return.
2021 would see Metroid Dread as Nintendo's key holiday seller and become the highest-selling Metroid game in the series' 35-year history. But despite the that long run and the fame the series enjoys, it has sold just over 20 million copies in its entire lifetime.As such, it's all but certain that thanks to incredible marketing by Nintendo, we will see this series continue along the likes of Mario and Zelda once again.
Despite the series' invention and rise to prominence on NES and SNES, and the success of 1997's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on the PlayStation, the latter Castlevania releases would never quite sell as well again. There were plenty of releases, as alongside KCEK's Castlevania: Circle of the Moon for GBA, Symphony of the Night producer Koji Igarashi would develop Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow for GBA. He would also create the series' next trilogy — Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia — for Nintendo DS. These were in addition to the PS2 releases — Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness — all of which released during the mid-late 2000s.
While the PS2 titles received lesser reception due to the 3D games having lackluster level design, Aria of Sorrow and the DS titles were lauded for getting close to the illustrious Symphony of the Night. Unfortunately, high critical reception from internet forums and gaming review sites does not translate into strong sales for publisher Konami. As such, Konami would reboot the Castlevania franchise and strip its identity in the form of the high(er)-selling, yet woefully generic, Lords of Shadow in 2010.
Koji Igarashi's last Castlevania title would be Harmony of Despair in 2011 before leaving Konami to form his own studio, Artplay. While IGA's new project, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, became a resounding success via Kickstarter, Konami struggled to sell the Lords of Shadow reboot series before scrapping it completely. Most recently, Konami has gone to the ever-popular nostalgia-collection well, releasing Castlevania Requiem, Anniversary Collection, and Advance Collection on modern platforms. Finding total numbers for sales is difficult, but best guess puts total sales across all games in the franchise between 20 and 30 million copies.
Debuting as a launch title for the SNES, the Mode 7 racing series would spawn a sequel on N64, GBA, and eventually come to the GameCube as F-Zero GX. The latter title became incredibly popular among series' enthusiasts and introduced new fans to Nintendo's high-velocity racing franchise. Thanks to Captain Falcon's popularity in the Super Smash Bros. series, anyone playing F-Zero GX would instantly know who he was.
Unfortunately, despite that title selling 1.5 million copies worldwide, Nintendo never felt justified to continue the series. The only remnants came from F-Zero GP Legend on Game Boy Advance — tying in with the series' anime adaptation — as well as one final title released in Japan — F-Zero Climax.
Outside of Smash Bros. and the tracks released in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, F-Zero has barely been mentioned by Nintendo in any capacity since the mid-2000s. While the gesture to release the first two games on Virtual Console, eShop, and Nintendo Switch Online are nice, they're not enough to fill the void left by the series' best game or the long-awaited release of a sequel. Best available numbers put the franchise at somewhere around 6 million copies sold in total.
Fire Emblem
Before the series debuted on the GBA in 2003, the Fire Emblem series remained in Japan. Nintendo's Strategy/RPG series became knowledge to the overseas market thanks to the inclusion of Marth and Roy in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Owing to heavy demand by fans, Nintendo caved in and released Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade to the west.
Unfortunately, when Nintendo decided to release Fire Emblem on home consoles in the west, the series' popularity began to decline. Path of Radiance (GameCube, 2005) and Radiant Dawn (Wii, 2007) both suffered from poor sales. The remake of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for DS (2009) sold so poorly that Nintendo refused to release the remake's sequel — New Mystery of the Emblem — in the west. Even then, the latter title failed miserably in Japan.
Spurred on by Nintendo's threat to cancel the series, Intelligent Systems gave Fire Emblem one last go on the 3DS. This effort resulted in Fire Emblem: Awakening, arguably the best title in the series. It would be followed by Fire Emblem Fates and Fire Emblem Echoes, all resulting in tremendous success. This would pave the way for Fire Emblem: Three Houses becoming the series' best seller and seemingly securing the future for Nintendo's illustrious SRPG series. Total sales for the franchise are approaching 17 million, but more than half of that number is concentrated in those last three games.
Ace Attorney
While this title isn't affiliated with Smash Bros. in any capacity, one of Capcom's most beloved series has also had the typical "success with the core market" but failed to sell everywhere else. The visual novel title that introduced the western world to the genre in 2005 became a cult-hit turned worldwide success.
Ace Attorney began to sell so poorly on the DS that Capcom even decided not to release Gyakuten Kenji 2 in the west. As such, the publisher would also keep the 5th and 6th canon titles — Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice — exclusive to digital releases in the west. Moreover, the Ace Attorney Chronicles series also received no release in the west until years after when they were ported to the Nintendo Switch and other consoles.
To this date, we have yet to see an Ace Attorney 7 following 2016's Spirit of Justice. While the release of Chronicles in 2021 is more than a nice gesture and may spur serious interest in the legacy games, the 6-year gap is now longer than the gap between Apollo Justice (2008) and Dual Destinies (2013). The series has sold just under 10 million copies across all releases.
Final Thoughts
Theoretically, you could write an entire article on Capcom franchises that have been missed since their initial releases. Whether it's Haunting Grounds, Viewtiful Joe, Power Stone, Darkstalkers, or Dino Crisis, any fan of these series knows Capcom has been avoiding these franchises for far too long. Even their mascot series, Mega Man, only received his last release in 2017. While it's nice that Capcom releases compilation ports of the past titles to modern platforms, the once beloved platformer barely sees the light of day in new releases.
Games of popular franchises will come out to rave reviews. Yet despite that praise and high reception, their poor sales will indicate to the publisher that it's not ideal to continue the series. This will leave many fans feeling abandoned and wanting a new title for their favorite franchise for years while seeing other games continuously get new releases. High critical reception does not equal continued success. That was a hard lesson I had to learn when clamoring for new Castlevania titles many years ago.
In some cases, like Fire Emblem and Metroid, the future is kind to them. Thanks to the publisher's ability to market titles strongly, their recent titles have seen strong sales, and the publisher capitalizes on their success. In doing so, they become established franchises once again with new titles for years to come. As such, these examples showcase the possibility — the hope — that more of our favorites will have their day to flourish hopefully in the near future.

While eggnog is traditionally drunk during the festive period, it seems like Marilyn Monroe liked to drink the eggy beverage all year round. According to Laren Stover, the actress would enjoy an eggnog nightcap towards the end of the day.
In fact, it would usually come close to midnight – specifically around 11.00 p.m. Whether it was raw eggs with milk or a nice cup of eggnog, eggs seemed to be Monroe's choice of drink, from a non-alcoholic point of view, at least.

"For the first time in our marriage, we were unified in our faith."
By: Cathy and Pete, New York
I am a cradle Catholic. My parents went to church weekly and later in life daily. They were very involved in our parish. We had religious artifacts in all the rooms in our home. All eight of their children went to Catholic Elementary School and all of the girls and one brother went to Catholic High School.
Pete was also born Catholic. His mom was raised Catholic but his dad was raised Russian Orthodox. Due to his mom becoming ill, bedridden and then dying at a young age, religion was not an integral part of his life growing up except when his grandmother, a practicing Catholic visited and took them to church.
When we married there was no discussion of religion. We easily agreed to marry in the Catholic Church and to raise our children Catholic. Sending them to Catholic school was not a decision we made until my son was in third grade and my daughter in first grade. All three children went to Catholic elementary school and Catholic High School. Our oldest daughter went to Catholic college.
While religion was an essential part of our life, discussing our personal relationship with God or Jesus was not something that was part of our marriage. While we would 'practice Catholicism' as a couple and understood we were engaged in a sacrament, we essentially lived parallel lives regarding our spiritual and religious beliefs and our personal relationship to God and Jesus.
At Mass, a parishioner spoke about a new program called Discovering Christ. I was intrigued and immediately up to be part of the program. After attending the first session, I came home and told my husband "You have to come with me to this program. It is amazing." Gratefully he agreed and attended the next week with me. We found Discovering Christ to be unique, as it was the only public forum we had experienced where discussing our beliefs, faith, and ideas amongst various people was both safe and enjoyable. We were exposed to people of various ages who were open, seemingly honest, and vulnerable when speaking about the various topics that were presented. We found the format exciting, thought-provoking, and conducive to learning and self-discovery.
The greatest part of Discovering Christ was the effect it had on our relationship. After leaving each week, we found ourselves continuing the conversations on the way home and until the time we put our heads on the pillow at the end of the evening. We started reading the Magnificat and found ourselves discussing the readings, how we felt about them, and their relation to the topics we discussed each week.
It had quite an extraordinary effect on us individually but more so as a couple.
We continued all three levels of the ChristLife process. We eventually became table leaders and thoroughly enjoyed facilitating discussions and sharing our experience.
One evening after mass, a couple we met through Discovering Christ approached us and asked us if we would be interested in becoming involved in the in home pre-cana program for couples preparing for marriage. We had a strong interest and immediately jumped at the chance to get trained and become part of the program. That was five years ago.
A few weeks into the pre-cana program, we discuss how God's way for marriage is that we put loving each other above everything else. Our vocation in life is to love. Our gift is giving ourselves to each other in the sacrament of marriage. During this session, we have the opportunity to share the times when we have felt closest in our marriage and how we have grown in trust. This is when we share our discovery and involvement in Discovering Christ and how it changed our marriage and led us to the calling of in home pre-cana training. At the end of our time with each couple, in addition to receiving a certificate of completion from us, they receive a copy of Discover Christ: Developing a Personal Relationship with Jesus .
We encourage our couples to read the book together. If not now, at the time before their wedding. And then we recommend they keep it in their toolbox with the rest of the materials they receive from pre-cana and take it out at a time when they may be interested and open to it.

Lighting Your B-roll on a budget
NovoStella are one of those brands I love to stalk they specialise in smart LED lighting, and they offer a range of light bulbs, flood lights and strip lights. But they are more than just your average light brand as their products celebrate the world of connectivity. So if you love controlling devices from your phone or voice command devices this is a company to checkout.
The Product:
The Novostella 12 meter LED strip lights is a product I just had to get for the studio. I have bought quite a few LED Strip lights for work and after recently fitting a set of these at home I had the idea to use these for some of the product B-roll here in the studio.
There are a range of size options. I bought the 12 meter as it was on offer for just £30 and its actually more than enough for the job I have in mind. BUT you can also get it in 16 and 32 meters.
It is a Amazon Choice product with 700 reviews and a four and a half star rating available at your door next day with ease.
In the box you get two RGB LED light strips which connect together to create the full length of lighting, there is also a 24volt Power adaptor, A RF remote controller, an LED signal receiver and 12 mounting brackets to tidy the cable.
The LEDs offer 20 different colours, at full brightness they will easily light a room when placed around the ceiling or you can dim them down to make a subtle ambience.
The light strips have a sticky adhesive backing which is perfect for mounting to the ceiling or shelving. Be warned though, place the lights right first time – or you will be reducing the effectiveness of the adhesive – or worse still pulling off the paint.
It is a simple DIY install with a mains plug and no fiddling with wiring. One word of caution is to make sure you only expose a foot of the adhesive sticker at a time just to make sure you preserve the quality of the applicator as you position it.
There are a few things I really like about the Nova Stella strip light.
It is a RF Controller not Infrared so you can press in any direction without having to point the remote directly. You get a good amount of light depending on where you fit the strip you can expect a maximum light footprint of 120 degrees.
One of the reasons LED Strip Lights have been so popular is they are incredibly easy to install this is no different. You get a reassuring quality feel from the weight of the plug through to the feel of the wiring. It makes you feel safe leaving this set up powered on. Not like your fridge when you go on holiday.
Everything you need is in the box, there is no upsell here from Novastella. The LED strip is a good quality which does mean it is harder than the cheap lights to bend 90 degrees for corners, however a small kink in the bend does not compromise the wiring or the lighting effect.
There are some issues with this unit that make it less than perfect
Firstly You can find cheaper units on the market. Also it is not a wifi unit so you cannot use this one with your favourite voice command units such as Alexa or Google home. Beyond that The LED Light strip is not waterproof so if you wanted it for outside, Thats a no go.
Finally… These lights when used for a backdrop are in danger of making you TIK TOK Famous!!
As I mentioned there are cheaper units on the market, I didn't go for the cheapest. For me the sweet spot is never the cheapest. I wanted a decent RF remote and not infrared, I didn't want that childhood frustration, where you find yourself having to point the remote directly at the TV!
Also I want to be able to leave it on for hours and I've not had great experiences with the very cheap plugs and light strips getting hot. With this unit you don't get that.
It offers great ambient lighting which can transform a room and best of all it is cheap to buy and super cheap to run!

Democratic strikes are the best way to push back against education cuts
Guest Opinion
Five-foot-one, 26-and-a-half-inch waist, 120 lbs, size four: these are my measurements, which can be considered ideal in terms of waist and size. But when I go to buy jeans and…
"I always knew there was a reason I liked Coca Cola more."
"Standing at the finish line of my degree, I look back and see everything in a completely different light."
We've become so scared of exploring political faculties that don't align with the overarching political group in which we strive to belong. The sheer inability to step outside of our socio-political bubbles has effectively segregated the population into either "us" or the "other."
