Coming 2 America brings fans back into the lives of beloved characters like Akeem, Semi, Lisa, and the infamous Queens barbershop crew thirty years later. It certainly leans into nostalgia; however, this film aims to create a new saga with another generation of characters. Coming 2 America is just as much about Akeem's son Lavelle as it is the new King of Zamunda. Lavelle is certainly like his father—charming, witty, and a fish out of water. But there's much more to his story than laughs. He's 30 years old and doesn't have solid plans for his life nor career. And, his birthright laying a path at his feet doesn't seem to improve the situation at first either.
Most people cannot relate to the pressures of assuming a throne but actor Jermaine Fowler believes Lavelle's story will strike an inspiring chord with viewers of all ages. The comedian and Coming 2 America star spoke with Nerdist about celebrating the small wins, bringing Lavelle to life, and appreciating his pre-COVID filming experience.

"Right now, people are questioning what their purpose is in life," says Fowler. "That is Lavelle, who is hopping from job to job, trying to figure out what he truly wants to do with his life until Hakeem shows up and tells him that he is going to be the heir to the wealthiest country in the world. [But] instead of him feeling like there is a sense of responsibility there, he sees it as a vacation. And it isn't until he starts to incorporate his family and this positive circle that's around him that he starts to realize what he's supposed to do. And I think we should really embrace that. There are people who are placed in our lives for a reason, positive or negative. They're supposed to get us to a certain point in our lives and we learn from those relationships."
In the film, Lavelle's relationship with his mom and uncle informs how he shows up in Zamunda. He infuses his life and choices with his own unique style and perspectives while honoring certain traditions. It's a very "like father, like son" sentiment considering Akeem's determination to buck his country's arranged marriage precedent.
It takes Lavelle a while to understand his strengths and realize his goals; but, it's a journey worth having because he grows through (and celebrates) his wins and losses. Lavelle's story certainly goes in directions that viewers won't expect but the journey is great. Fowler relates this to his own life as he set his career milestones.

"When I was younger and first starting off in stand-up, I had epochs that I wanted to hit," Fowler states. "By 2011, I want to do Conan O'Brien. And by 2012, I want to be in action comedy and all these things. It's good to have goals, always have goals; however, the issue with them is sometimes you forget to really be present, to be in the moment, to really appreciate small wins here and there. It's okay to say, 'I'm proud of myself.' It's okay to pat yourself on the back sometimes. And if you don't meet the actual goal that you want, there are still moments that you can take and really learn from."
Fowler's been in the industry for a while; however, landing a role in Coming 2 America is something that most entertainers can only dream about. It gave him a chance to work alongside his idol Eddie Murphy as well as comedy legends like Arsenio Hall and Tracy Morgan in the sequel to a film he grew up watching. This could make anyone feel a ton of pressure; but, Fowler came into the situation with confidence and a bit of improv genius. He also brought in his own ideas about Lavelle's persona.
"I make sure the context for a character, even things that I made up that aren't written down, are in the back of my head when I'm doing my lines or improvising," he says. "Because even if you improvise, it's worthless if you don't know where the scene is going. You still have a movie to shoot. And I'm thankful to [director] Craig Brewer for being so open to a couple ideas that I had for Lavelle's character, for certain scenes, for certain contextual things that I felt were important… As an actor, that's the most fun you have, is to give context to a character, to bring the nuances to a character, and I definitely wanted to find those for Lavelle. And when Craig gave me that playground to experiment, it was off to the races. So I'm very appreciative that he let me do that."
Coming 2 America didn't get its initial release date in theaters in 2020 due to COVID-19. (The film will now debut on Amazon Prime Video on March 5.) But, the actual filming took place in the good ole days of 2019 prior to a global pandemic. You know, when people could breathe openly in a room with other people. Looking back, Fowler appreciates the chance to embrace his castmates as well as a few other famous people, too.
"Before COVID, it was a family reunion for a lot of us. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith had shown up on set because they were [filming] Bad Boys For Life next door at Tyler Perry Studios. I miss the ability to just show up in an affectionate way. Whether it's dapping a brother up or really just having that connection with people I miss…I'm very happy that people are still finding ways to get around this and really build and make entertainment for people who are at home and are struggling or suffering. As long as we can make someone's day brighter with comedy, or any piece of entertainment…I'm proud of myself and very happy for what I get to do."
One thing is for sure: Coming 2 America will give people joy and laughter during a tough time. And, just maybe, Lavelle's Fresh Prince-esque story from the streets of Queens to a lush Zamundan royal palace will inspire people to surround themselves with a good support system, be true to themselves, and enjoy the journey towards the next destination.

About maschine to expand BPM problem
I love the drums in the Lazer Dice expansion.
But I found that most of the KITS in Lazer Dice are 146BPM or 76BPM
I made an accompaniment that is 110BPM
At this time, I changed the 146BPM drum to 110 and it would not sound good.
How did you solve this problem? Or are there any drums like Lazer Dice but what you guys are doing is usable at 110BPM
What is the problem?
If it does not sound good choose other drums or make it sound good.
"Does not sound good" is not helpful for us trying to figure out what you mean. Be as specific and detailed about what you mean with that as you can.
0 -
Some Lazer Dice kits have big long instrument samples in the Sampler instead of the Audio plugin, this means if you change the BPM those long samples will be completely out of sync. This should not affect the drums tho, from a few kits I looked into they all seem to be one-shots so should adapt fine to BPM changes.
Tell us the name of the kit you used so we can help you... We cant guess it.
0 -
My main hope is that when I hit the stop button to close, these SAMPLEs can stop just as well.
In addition, I hope that MASCHINE software can realize the BPM of KITS, and I can choose BPM to pick my favorite KITS
I think BPM is a very important message and the most basic element of MASCHINE.
As a result, I now need to go into KITS, double click to see it. Sometimes it takes a guess at BPM.
0 -
If you trigger a sample that is set to one shot it will play through till it's end, IIRC, even when you press stop. You can shift+mute to stop ongoing sounds
0 -
I do what Murat said on a regular basis, as well as removing all instruments when I'm just looking for drum kits.
@swingmix said:
My main hope is that when I hit the stop button to close, these SAMPLEs can stop just as well.
That is how many samplers work when set to one-shots, you can change longer samples to ADSR instead but you would need to edit the MIDI Notes of the kit.
In addition, I hope that MASCHINE software can realize the BPM of KITS, and I can choose BPM to pick my favorite KITS
Don't hold your breath on that one. Most modern expansions don't have that problem, only the ones made prior to the Audio Plug release tend to have this issue for the most part. They could also update the expansions to use the Audio Plug when it makes sense but I doubt that will happen.
You could load every kit, inspect the BPM and save it with the BPM in the name, quite a bit of work but this way you can build your semi-custom User Lib.
As a result, I now need to go into KITS, double click to see it. Sometimes it takes a guess at BPM.
You can inspect the BPM after loading in the pattern name, not ideal but that's how it's always been.
2 -
I just think NI is a very good music software company.
MASCHINE is a rhythm software.
It's a pity that BPM is not displayed, nor can BPM search be used.

last january i met a blogging friend that i'd been keeping in touch with for a few years only through our blogs. she was 20-something and lived in missouri. i was pushing 40 and living in sweden throughout our blogging friendship. but, then lina and i moved to the states. and my friend graduated from college + decided to take a solo road trip, passing through asheville to stay with us for a days, giving us a chance to meet face-to-face for the first time.
fast forward to almost a year later, and this crazy young girl, lina, and i have spent most of the year living in the same city, spending summer in sweden for a month, going to concerts, drinking tons of beer, having cozy days at home, enjoyed blogging dates, eaten brunches out, done a few road trips, and become a little family – complete with meltdowns, ups + downs, tough times, and unforgettable moments.
but, now, it's literally time for all of us to move on. lina and i to sweden. and paige back to missouri, as she prepares for her next step in life. so, to celebrate and commiserate together, we had a little christmas at home on thursday night and then spent our last brewery visit together on friday at burial brewing in the south slope part of downtown asheville.
christmas was fun and cozy – with gift exchanges, snacks, and a favorite movie. but, friday, well… it was the perfect ending to our crazy 2014 together. just the 3 of us, sitting at the bar of the brewing company for like 4-5 hours, tasting beer, laughing, crying, and soaking up these last great times in asheville (for now!) together. what a great, great night!
as we say goodbye to paige (for now!), we greet lina's mom and dad this afternoon. that's right, lina's parents are coming all of the way from sweden to spend christmas with us – and our family here! we are so overjoyed + excited! we leave this afternoon to go to charlotte to pick them up at the airpot tonight. crazy!!! so, i don't have time to blog anymore today… gotta clean and do some grocery shopping!
here's to wishing you + yours a great weekend… as we head full force into the solstice, holiday week, and new year! let's find the little things in life + celebrate them!

By Dawni O'Bryan
As mentioned in previous articles, there is somewhat of a progression that goes along with rodeo. Young kids start out at little gymkhanas and junior rodeos, and then it is on to junior high school rodeos, and high school rodeos. Many high school rodeoers decide to sell the rig and retire the horses after that last high school rodeo and move on to other things. A handful of rodeo athletes decide to take it to the next level in the college competition.
Bianca O'Bryan has completed her stint at Lamar Community College and has used 2 years of eligibility on scholarship, rodeoing for the LCC Lopes. She has now signed a letter of intent and will rodeo for Ft. Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. Her new rodeo coach, Guy Forell, has met with her and has offered her a rodeo scholarship for the Tigers of FHSU in the Central Plains Region. Bianca competes in barrel racing and breakaway roping on her self-trained horse, Superstar. The duo made some noise in the Central Rocky Mountain Region, making the short-go and placing several times, and hopes to build upon that now in a new region. This region includes Coffeyville Community College, Colby CC, Ft. Scott CC, Garden City CC, Dodge City CC, Pratt CC, Conners State College, Kansas State University, Murray State, Northeast OK, Northwest OK, Southeast OK, Southwest OK, West OK, Panhandle State University, and Ft. Hays State University. Bianca will also take a new horse with her, Phoenix, which she is training in barrel racing. Bianca will be studying Elementary Education.
Sage Bader of Kim, CO will be continuing his rodeo career for Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva under the coaching of NFR qualifier, Stockton Graves. Bader will be roping calves and team roping in the Central Plains Region, as well. He is just coming off a stellar high school state championship for Colorado in the team roping with partner, Colton Zimmerman. He won a saddle for his efforts and a trip to Nationals. At college, he will be studying Agriculture Production and campus wildlife.
Braxton O'Bryan is wrapping up his high school career and will compete in the National High School Rodeo Finals in Gillette, WY in July, along with Bader. Braxton ended up 4th in the state of Kansas in tie down roping and 5th in the state for team roping. Looking to this fall, he has chosen West Texas A & M University in Canyon as the next place to further his rodeo career. He will be under the tutelage of NFR tie down qualifier, Raymond Hollabaugh and breakaway roper, Jordan Jo (Fabrizio) Hollabaugh. Braxton will compete at the college level in both tie down roping and team roping for the WT Buffs. This region includes Eastern New Mexico Univ., Sul Ross, Vernon, Frank Phillips, Texas Tech, Odessa, Ranger, West Texas-Snyder, Howard County, Tarleton, Clarendon, Weatherford, Cisco, South Plains, and West Texas A & M University. Braxton will take horses, "Vegas" and "Shaky" with him to the college ranks. He will likely take "Esther," the calf-horse-in-training owned by Chad Hawkins, also. A part-time job to earn a little money for O'Bryan is to offer farrier services (hoof trimming). Braxton will be studying Agriculture Communications and Media.
We wish our area youth that are headed to the college rodeo scene best wishes for success and protection. "Making a big life change is scary. But, know what is even scarier? Regret."
Happy Trails.

Tamil film industry celebrities release 'Ivalai Pola' song
Common Man Media 'Common Man' Sathish shot to fame in the Tamil movie industry for his proficient craftsmanship in the online marketing. He has been involved in this domain for more than a decade. He hasn't been inclined to this industry for the commercial and monetary benefits, but out of sheer passion to approach everything in an innovative manner. He has worked assistant directors in few movies, and has directed a couple of short films. The first short film garnered International recognition with 10 Million views on YouTube. His second short film titled 'Nodikku Nodi' was recently reflected with relevance to Time Loop concept in the movie 'Maanaadu'. In fact, this was ahead of this movie, and got excellent response. Many prominent celebrities from the industry have suggested Sathish to make this film into a full-length feature movie, and he has been waiting for the right moment to get it materialized. During this interim, he has created an independent album song titled 'IVALAI POLE'. The song was created, and shot with a 5-member crew in a span of just one day. The shooting started by morning 7 a.m. and wrapped up by evening 6 p.m. Actress Akshitha Ravindran, who appeared in the song has choreographed it as well. Sivaraj has cranked the camera for this song apart from handling the Drone as well. M.S. Jones of Poriyaalan fame has composed music, and G.P. Studios has produced it. The song has shaped up in an elegantly exquisite manner that many celebrities didn't stop themselves merely with the appreciations, but have shared the song on their social media pages. This includes slew of prominent film industry celebs like producer Murali of Sri Thenandal Films, Music Director G.V. Prakash Kumar, actor Vishal, Studio Green Films K.E. Gnanavel Raja, director Caarthick Raju, producer C.V. Kumar and many others. With such big names sharing the song on their Twitter page along with the wishes, the song trended at No.1 position for hours.
Furthermore, Bigg Boss celebrities like Suresh, Sanam Shetty, and Aari congratulated on the song's output by sending personal video message. The icing of the cake is AP Internationals getting impressed with the song, and releasing over its YouTube channel. In a short span of time, the song has scaled 5 Million views.
Common Man Sathish says, "I thank the celebrities for their unconditional support for this song." Many leading production houses are listening to his scripts, and he will be seen as a filmmaker shortly. The song 'Ivalai Pola' has crossed 5 Million views in a span of one week. He requests the viewers to share the song if they have liked it.

I was honored when New Hope Wish Director, Rosie Wilder invited me to Guest Blog for their "Wishes for Kids" program. As a writer, and (more importantly) a "Wish Mom", I cherish every opportunity to spread the word about New Hope's Wishes for Kids, and how a once in a lifetime wish can bring "New Hope" into the life of a sick child for years to come. This blog is made up of letters from the heart of a hopeful mom. –Pam Ruben
A Chanukah Valentine to the New Hope Tree
About ten years ago our Rabbi (Rick Sherwin of Congregation Beth Am in Longwood) suggested making one of the eight nights of Chanukah a night of giving rather than receiving. He suggested that a local non-profit could benefit from our gifts of presents or time, and we would receive (and our children would come to understand) the joys of giving back to the community.
That same week we were at Panera Bread, when my daughter Jenny pulled a child's name off "The New Hope Holiday Tree." Inscribed on the card was the name of a little girl, who was 8 years old just like Jenny. Andy followed suit and yanked from the tree the name of a 5 year old boy just like him. The cards contained a Christmas wish list for each child. Then and there, Jenny and Andy decided that a New Hope boy and girl would receive a gift from them each year. We had found our cause- and have re-visited that tree at Panera bread in Longwood for more than a decade. Shopping for New Hope Kids has become a cherished night of Chanukah for our family.
Often, we imagined the looks of happiness on the kid's faces when they opened their gifts. Seven years later, we found out first hand when Jenny contracted a life-changing illness, and became a "New Hope Kid" herself. In 2011 our family attended our first New Hope Holiday party, as a "Wish" family. Rosie Wilder, Wish Director and our own fairy godmother, introduced Jenny to the crowd of kids who packed the gymnasium, and announced that Jenny's wish to go to Hollywood would be granted. Jenny was all smiles from ear to ear, as was Andrew, who received a handful of "sibling gifts" of his own. Meanwhile, several hundred New Hope kids gleefully tore the wrapping paper off their own gifts, and squeals of delight caroled throughout the room.
At Christmastime, I often think about how our relationship with the "New Hope Tree" has come full circle. First, we were the givers, and later, the very grateful recipients. This Valentine's Day I would like to express my affection to New Hope for Kids and its Wishes for Kids Program. No one imagines becoming a "Wish Family" or the parent of a "Wish Kid". But we are grateful that New Hope for Kids was there, giving us "New Hope", when we needed it most.
Stay tuned for more on Jenny's Hollywood Wish

Türkiye's 1st mini satellite collects over 10,000 data items in a year
Grizu-263A satellite, designed by Grizu-263 Space Team, launched into space last year with SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket
Türkiye's first mini satellite Grizu-263A has collected more than 10,00 data items over the past year.
The Grizu-263A satellite, designed by the Grizu-263 Space Team of engineering students of Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University, was launched into space on Jan. 13, 2022 with SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.
"It stabilized within 13 days after launch. After its stabilization, healthy data was received," Bulent Ekmekci, the adviser of the Grizu-263 Space Team, told reporters.
He said they achieved their goals about the satellite. "We say that now is the time for new satellites."
Ekmekci said that the satellite, which rotates in the polar orbit, completes its orbit in nearly one and a half hours.
"This means that it travels around the world 15 or 16 times a day. During these orbits, it moves over different geographical locations in the world. It produces data every 10 seconds. There are over 10,000 confirmed data (items)," he elaborated.
Established in 2016 by the engineering students of Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University in the Black Sea province of Zonguldak, the Grizu-263 team aims to work on space and satellite technologies and participate in international competitions.
The team was named after a firedamp explosion that killed 263 miners in Zonguldak's Kozlu district in 1992. The Turkish word for firedamp is grizu.
The satellite is designed to operate in a low earth orbit of roughly 525 kilometers (326 miles) for four years and eight months.

I've got some seriously itchy feet. I wanna get outside. I wanna get trainin'. I wanna race.
I just gotta decide what my goal race will be for 2022.* Will it be cycling? Race walking? Power walking? A return to triathlon? Choosing what to do will determine my training plans and "B Races." Those events help me track my progress, and keep me motivated when the Vegas heat cranks up. I'll also prepare a budget, because, dagnabit, I haven't won the lottery yet.
To get me started, I signed up for these two virtual running/walking events last month. Love to have you follow me on this journey (better yet, join me!):
A Salmon's Tale – Feb 1 – March 31
Imagine you're a freshly hatched baby salmon (called "alevin") in a river in Western Washington. Now you make your way to the Skagit River then swim across Puget Sound to reach the Pacific Ocean. In real life, you can walk, run, bike, or use a treadmill to cover 80, 140, or 200 miles. Track the journey via the Gravlax app, donate to the Long Live the Kings wild salmon restoration organization, and have access to the event's Facebook group. Pretty cool, uh?
Though I may not hit the 80-mile cumulative mark (unless I quit walking and use my road bike), I have already gotten more miles in than if I *hadn't* signed up it. A win-win!
There's still time to sign up if you'd like to join me. Go to www.ASalmonsTale.com (and check out the swag, too. I want that medal!).
Goddess Run – June 4 Live & All Month Virtually
Back in 2014 I did this race with my BFF Nora in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. We had so much fun walking the 5K together, and received so many encouraging cheers, shout outs, and gestures from other "Goddesses" and spectators. Speed is not the objective – what's important is that you keep moving forward, one step at a time (it's what we Divas believe in, too). Plus, the swag and goodies are just so cool!
Join me on Saturday, June 4 as I live stream my virtual 5K from Las Vegas on the Slowpoke Divas' Facebook page and the Slowpoke Divas TV channel on YouTube. Stay tuned for more details.
I'd love it if you joined me from wherever you are, too! Go to www.GoddessRun.ca for live and virtual race details. During the registration process, you'll have the option of joining Team Slowpoke Divas.
Love to know if you opt to sign up – we can support each other as we train our events (you might opt for the 10K, too!).
NOTE: I'm not an affiliate for the Goddess Run or A Salmon's Tale, nor will I receive any remuneration from this post or your registration(s). This is simply something we Divas can experience together, have some fun, and improve our fitness at the same time.
As always, check with your healthcare provider before signing up for these events to ensure they're right for you.
*Knowing full well that my best-laid plans may go awry due to circumstances and events beyond my control.

Netherlands defeated USA 3-1 in Round of 16 match© AFP
The battle between 'football' and 'soccer' concluded in the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Saturday as Netherlands defeated USA 3-1 in the Round of 16 clash to book a spot in the quarter-finals. While fans on social media termed the result a victory for 'football' over 'soccer', the top political leaders of the Netherlands and USA also got involved into the debate. The subject prompted Twitter wisecracks between United States of America President Joe Biden and Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
"It's called soccer," Biden said in a video posted on Twitter wishing the US team luck ahead of their last-16 clash against the Dutch side Saturday at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha.
But the clinical Netherlands soon ended the United States' World Cup dream, sweeping into the quarter-finals with a ruthless 3-1 victory — and Rutte was quick to respond to Biden's tweet.
"Sorry Joe, football won," he wrote, adding a wink emoji.
Biden's response came Sunday morning.
"Strictly speaking, shouldn't it be 'voetbal'?" he replied, using the Dutch word for football. Kidding aside: congrats to your team and country, Mark. Rematch in New Zealand," the US president added.

It's probably fair to say that specifying an elevator isn't something that ranks high on the list of daily activities for most architects. But with an ageing population and medium density trends making multi-storey homes the new normal, it is something specifiers will increasingly need to get comfortable with.
With this in mind, Kiwi-made Powerglide Elevators have developed a Design Support Programme that helps specifiers and builders streamline the design and consent process, as well as avoiding costly delays during construction.
Allan Fullerton, who heads the Specification Team, encourages architects to contact them early, in order to get the most benefit from their expertise and experience.
"The current approach to elevator design is often to draw a 1m x 1m box in the plan and relegate it to the 'later' file. By the time we get involved, it's harder for the architect to accommodate the minor design tweaks that could have significantly enhanced the usability and overall lift experience for the homeowner," says Fullerton. "The earlier we get involved, the more meaningful advice we can provide, and the easier we can make the process for all involved."
Powerglide is able to provide comprehensive design support because the lift mechanism is its own proprietary design, and the entire process, through design, manufacture, and installation is managed locally, by an in-house team. According to Fullerton, who created the first Powerglide Elevator back in 2003, this gives them a significant advantage when it comes to supporting the specification process.
"It means we know the system intimately and have the flexibility to make changes at any stage. Our Design Support Programme reduces the turnaround time of all aspects of design, engineering, and compliance by automating many of the specification tasks. As an example, we can provide same-day turn-around for PS1 and associated documentation for building consent lodgement."
The Powerglide information is clear and accurate, based on the experience of over 900 installations, working to the requirements of consenting authorities throughout New Zealand.
Architects contacting Powerglide for technical information and resources will find themselves speaking to an expert in all aspects of lift specification for residential, commercial and medium-density projects.
The typical Design Support Programme is broken down into 5 stages:
Stage 1: Early Design Stage
- Powerglide provides simple and clear design guidelines to get to the preliminary design stage, enabling the designer to firm up sizes, layouts, etc.
- Powerglide's in-house drafter delivers accurate lift drawings for specifiers and builders in formats to suit ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, Revit, and most other design platforms, as well as a printable PDF for sites.
- Documentation is also provided for structural engineers, assisting with the lift shaft design.
- As Powerglide Elevators are designed and manufactured in NZ, lifts can be customised for a project. This gives the designer complete flexibility as opposed to the typical one-size-fits-all situation.
- The Powerglide Design Team is available with expert support and suggestions throughout.
Stage 2: Pre-Consent Design
- Powerglide will assist with any ongoing changes to the design that may affect the lift shaft, helping the designer with even the smallest details.
- Drawings are updated as required, supplying a full set of lift drawings for use by the designer in their own plans, and by the builder on site.
Stage 3: Consent Lodgement
- Powerglide provides same-day service for PS1 and associated documentation for building consent lodgement.
- The prior acceptance of Powerglide's system with all consent authorities means lift-related RFIs are significantly reduced, with none in most cases.
- Powerglide's NZ-made system is specifically designed to meet the NZBC requirements and the system is a recommended solution of NZ's leading lift certification consultants.
Stage 4: Construction Stage
- Powerglide's specification team will assist builders with advice and support during construction of the various elements of the lift shaft and lift plant room.
- When the situation on site doesn't reflect the drawings or plans, Powerglide will help the designer and builder to make the necessary changes to accommodate the discrepancies. If necessary, the lift car design can be altered, even at a late stage.
Stage 5: Post Construction
- Upon completion of the installation, Powerglide will quickly deliver the required post-installation compliance documentation.
- This includes PS3 and PS4, guarantee documentation, service planning when required, as well as after-sales support.

Interest in unions and associations in a knowledge-base economy: Canadian evidence
This study analyzes the results of a 2010 national survey of Canadian non-managerial employees' membership and interest in worker organizations. This is the first general survey to include associations as well as unions. Profiles of membership and interest in unions and associations are presented, then demographic, organizational and attitudinal factors related to interest in joining these worker organizations are examined. The findings suggest that, in spite of some recent decline in union density, most Canadian non-managerial workers who are interested in collective representation are members of at least one of these organizations. The strongest interest in joining is expressed by those who are highly educated, poorly paid and feel underemployed-even if allowed some workplace "voice". The limited prior focus on unions needs to be expanded to attend to both unions and associations as worker-controlled vehicles of representation, particularly to identify strategic alliances with the growing numbers of professional employees.

Front. Behav. Neurosci. 14:50. [doi: 10.3389/fnbeh.2020.00050]
SECYT Consolidar 2018; ANPyCT; Universidad de Granada; PICT 2015-0325Abstract
The present study assessed the effects of ethanol exposure during adolescence or adulthood. We exposed Wistar rats, males or females, to self-administered 8–10% (v/v) ethanol (BINGE group) during the first 2 h of the dark cycle, three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) during postnatal days (PDs) 32–54 or 72–94 (adolescent and adults, respectively). During this period, controls were only handled, and a third (IP) condition was given ethanol intraperitoneal administrations, three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), at doses that matched those self-administered by the BINGE group. The rats were tested for ethanol intake and preference in a two-bottle (24 h long) choice test, shortly before (PD 30 or 70) and shortly after (PD 56 or 96) exposure to the binge or intraperitoneal protocol; and then tested for free-choice drinking during late adulthood (PDs 120–139) in intermittent two-bottle intake tests. Binge drinking was significantly greater in adolescents vs. adults, and was blocked by naloxone (5.0 mg/kg) administered immediately before the binge session. Mean blood ethanol levels (mg/dl) at termination of binge session 3 were 60.82 ± 22.39. Ethanol exposure at adolescence, but not at adulthood, significantly reduced exploration of an open field-like chamber and significantly increased shelter-seeking behavior in the multivariate concentric square field. The rats that had been initially exposed to ethanol at adolescence drank, during the intake tests conducted at adulthood, significantly more than those that had their first experience with ethanol at adulthood, an effect that was similar among BINGE, IP and control groups. The study indicates that binge ethanol drinking is greater in adolescent that in adults and is associated with heightened ethanol intake at adulthood. Preventing alcohol access to adolescents should reduce the likelihood of problematic alcohol use or alcohol-related consequences.

Volvo Trucks, along with partners InCharge Energy, a developer of commercial EV charging systems, and Gilbarco Veeder-Root, a supplier of retail and fueling products, has launched its Turnkey Solutions process. This is designed to help fleet customers procure EV charging infrastructure products and services, plan installation, take advantage of incentives, and interface with utility companies.
"Identifying sources for charging infrastructure can be an overwhelming task for fleet managers," said Peter Voorhoeve, President, Volvo Trucks North America, "so now all aspects of EV charging are covered through the Turnkey Solutions program."
According to Volvo, the program encompasses every step of the process of developing charging infrastructure, from order to operation, including charging hardware, software, permitting, installation, interaction with utility companies and equipment maintenance. Quotes from InCharge Energy and Gilbarco Veeder-Root allow customers to make decisions on moving forward with a one-stop-shop solution.
Customers signing up for the Turnkey Solutions program are paired with a Volvo Trucks dealer to advise them on flexible pathways for managing infrastructure development.

Hebrews 10:34 "For you showed sympathy to the prisoners, and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one."
I was reading the other day about Trajan Decius, a Roman emperor who reigned from 249-251 A.D. A short reign. Short, but dangerous, ugly and harsh to Christians. He made an edict that forced every citizen to sacrifice to the state gods. They had to do this before local authorities. If they refused, threats, imprisonments, torture, and confiscation of property would follow. He tried to force all into idolatry. Immediately, our verse today came to mind. The Hebrew Christians, much earlier, faced similar persecutions and sufferings. The seizure of your property is what stands out today.
I like my house. I like the way it looks. I like where it is located. I've lived in a lot of houses through the years. This one is my favorite. I was thinking about the "seizure of your property," when it comes to my house and everything in it. This expression is so un-American, that we cannot grasp it. The idea of someone taking what is ours just doesn't happen. We'd be calling lawyers, local officials, the police, ghost busters. Someone. This isn't fair, right or nice. People can't take what is not theirs. They can't take what belongs to us. Where would we live if our property was seized? It would be worse than starting over. Most times, insurance will help some. Not for the Hebrews. Not for those living under the rule of Decius. There is no one to call. There is no one to make this injustice right. All that you worked for, gone. Gone because you believe in Jesus. Gone because you worship Jehovah and not a Caesar. Gone and it's never coming back. Think about all your knick-knacks. Think about all your favorite things you've collected. Your tools. Your photos. Your heirlooms. Gone. Most of it trashed by heathens who have no heart. You escape with just what you happen to be wearing. Everything else seized. Gone. It's all gone.
What is remarkable about all of this is the expression found in Hebrews, "accepted joyfully the seizure of your property." This was not a fight to the death. This wasn't a tug-of-war and the stronger ones pulled items out of your hands. They accepted it. They accepted it joyfully. Can you imagine? No ugly name calling. No giving them a piece of your mind. No threats. Not even, tears. They accepted joyfully. Joyful and the tears of sadness do not fit together well. The joyful heart is not sad. The sad heart is not joyful. They accepted the seizure of their property joyfully.
This runs parallel to what Jesus said in the sermon on the mount. There we are reminded, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in Heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
I do think many of us would have trouble with the seizure of our property. I think about my books, my baseball collection, my colorful socks. I'd like to think I could stand with those who were joyful about this, but I honestly think I'd probably go down kicking and screaming. Here are a few simple helps for us:
First, it's just stuff. I know it's OUR stuff and we have worked hard for it and we paid for it, but in the end, it's just stuff. When the Lord comes, all of it will be destroyed. We can become too attached to our stuff. What we have does not define us nor does it describe us. Enjoy things as you have them, but it's not life and your life does not consist of possessions, is what the Lord teaches us.
Second, our faith comes before all things, including our stuff, our property and even our lives. Jesus never promised His followers that they would be safe. He didn't say, you may be bumped about some, but you'll be ok. No, some would lose their lives. Some would suffer. Some would have their property seized. It would be hard. But God was aware of all these things and keeping our faith first, will make all things ok in the end. Jesus asked, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?" Well, some may be thinking, I'll go down fighting. That's not the language of the N.T. Accepted joyfully is what the Hebrews were called. Blessed is what Jesus said. Don't allow anything or anyone to come before your faith.
Third, there was something coming for those who remained faithful. There was a reward, an inheritance far greater than anything these people ever saw or owned. It was being with God forever in Heaven. They carried about in their character the spirit of Jesus. It showed. It was noticed. There were consequences because of that. God never forgot. Those early Christians that were poor, many were servants, and they were crushed by the bloody hands of persecutors are now resting in Paradise. The battle is over for them. They won. The property that was stolen has long gone to the wayside. Those mean and aggressive persecutors have been forgotten by history. But Heaven knows and Heaven remembers those, such as Antipas, who gave their lives for Jesus.
We sing, "This world is not my home," but I wonder if we really mean that. I wonder how much we truly desire Heaven. I wonder if the sword of persecutors came, would we sacrifice to false idols just to save our necks? Would we compromise just to save our stuff? The story is told, I don't know if it's true of not, but during the sinking of the Titanic, one wealthy person went back to her stateroom to retrieve her valuables. She never made it off the ship. It was just stuff.
We spend a lot of time thinking about stuff. We shop for stuff. We fill our time with stuff. Jesus reminds us that these treasures can rust and they can be stolen. What no one can take away from you is your love and faith in the Lord. Hard times won't. Standing alone won't. Temptations won't. The only way we give up our faith is by our choice. No one can force you.
I expect hard times followed the seizure of their property. It's hard to cook, it someone has taken away the pot to cook in. It's hard to plow if someone took your ox. It's hard to find a decent place to sleep if someone took your bed and your home. Tough times might have followed. Yet, they accepted joyfully the seizure of their property. They were recognized as being those who belonged to Him. The pagans weren't bothered. Their property wasn't seized. It was the Christians. They were noticed, identified and now suffered for that. This didn't discourage them. They accepted it joyfully. They were like the prophets of old. They were like others who had made the choice to stand with the Lord.
Instead of crushing their spirits and defeating them, the seizure of the property, made their spirits soar with the Lord. They were counted worthy. They were among the blessed.
What a difficult time, and yet what a refreshing and profound spirit we find among those early disciples. Don't you wish we could have the same attitude and heart? Don't you wish that we could handle difficulties like they did? Don't you wish that we could learn from them? You can.
Accepted joyfully…

The Red Sea resorts of Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada have received 23 Belarusian flights since the resumption of Egypt's tourism in early July, according to Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Khaled El-Anany.
These include 12 trips to Sharm El-Sheikh and 11 trips to Hurghada, El-Anany added.
"Belarusian tourists were some of the first tourists to return to Egypt in the first 48 hours following the resumption of tourism in Egypt, trusting the precautionary and preventive measures and requirements taken by Egypt," El-Anany added.
The minister's remarks came on the sidelines of his official visit at the head of an Egyptian tourist delegation to Belarusian capital Minsk, during which he held a press conference with Belorussia's Minister of Sports and Tourism.
During the press conference, El-Anany responded to enquiries on Egypt's resumption of tourism, and reviewed the precautionary measures taken by the Egyptian government at various centres popular with visitors to Egypt.
The minister noted that these measures are in place at airports, hotels and tourist establishments, as well as tourist activity centres, archaeological sites and museums. He added they have been put in place to ensure the health and safety of all visitors and workers in Egypt's tourism sector.
El-Anany noted that Egypt has resumed tourism in three of its coastal tourism-centric governorates, namely the Red Sea, South Sinai, and Matrouh as a first stage. This first step was taken as these governorates have a low population density and extremely few cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
The minister pointed out that the World Tourism and Travel Council (WTTC) has granted Egypt a Safe Travel stamp. He said that, during a recent visit to Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada, he met with many tourists, including from Belorussia, who emphasised the commitment by all facilities to the government's health and safety requirements. The tourists added that these measures did not negatively affect their enjoyment.
El-Anany also stressed that tourists who have visited Egypt since the resumption of international flights to Egypt on 1 July have returned to their countries, with no coronavirus infections reported.
During his visit to Belorussia, El-Anany held a number of interviews during which he fielded questions on Nile cruises between Luxor and Aswan, as well as visits to archaeological areas and trip prices. He also pointed out the desire on the Belarusian side to organise programmes to visit monuments in Cairo.
El-Anany extended an invitation to media outlets to visit Egypt's tourism destinations and to highlight their experiences to showcase the country's diverse tourism destinations.

SKULL: THE MASK on Shudder is a Fantasy Horror movie from Brazil. It's based on pre-Columbian mythology and has lots of blood. All about gore and a supernatural serial killer. A true throwback to the horror movies of the 80s. Read our full Skull: The Mask movie review here!
SKULL: THE MASK on Shudder is a Brazilian horror movie. We've watched quite a few genre productions from Brazil over the years. The production quality is usually impressive and they have an affinity for 80s horror which becomes very obvious in this new Shudder addition.
The runtime is just 90 minutes which is pretty spot-on. Especially for a movie in the fantasy-horror genre that features a supernatural serial killer based on pre-Columbian mythology.
Continue reading our Skull: The Mask movie review below and find it on Shudder.
An homage to 80s horror movie gore
When I say that the affinity for 80s horror movies is obvious when watching Skull: The Mask, I don't mean it in any bad way. It just isn't for everyone. We're dealing with the very bloody gore that was featured heavily in the fantasy horror movies of the 1980s.
Personally, I also really loved the humor that was used in the 80s horror movies, because it perfectly offset the crazy violence. Be it Freddy Krueger's tongue coming out the phone or some grotesque monolog in Hellraiser. I'm fine with all of it because it highlights the fact that we're just having fun with all those gore, blood, violence, and horror.
Basically, you're saying "Sure, a man was just decapitated and another one had his skull crushed, but we're not violent degenerates. We're just laughing in the face of a world that is already pretty mad." Unfortunately, Skull: The Mask doesn't have much (or any, really) of the campy tongue-in-cheek style that made the 1980s horror movies golden for me.
Watch Skull: The Mask on Shudder
Armando Fonseca and Kapel Furman are the filmmakers behind Skull: The Mask. Armando Fonseca is the director while Kapen Furman has the title of "creative director". Also, Kapel Furman is the creator of the story while the screenplay is accredited to them both as writers.
The two also co-created the 2016 features film Uptake Fear which I have not seen but seems to be rather popular. Based on the IMDb plot summary, it sounds like it would be perfect for you if you enjoy Skull: The Mask when you watch it on Shudder.
I wanted to like Skull: The Mask a lot more than I actually did. The magic of the 80s throwback didn't really hit me, because only the gore and none of the camp was there. But hey, that's all about preference and I'm sure many will really enjoy watching the brutal and bloody scenes. This movie also features a former wrestler which is very obvious during fight scenes!
Skull: The Mask is out on Shudder from May 27, 2021.
Directors: Armando Fonseca, Kapel Furman
Writers: Armando Fonseca, Kapel Furman (story)
Stars: Rurik Jr., Tristan Aronovich, Ivo Müller, Micas Carvalho, Guta Ruiz, Natallia Rodrigues, Beatriz Severo
The feature film is an action-packed horror flick depicting a supernatural serial killer based on pre-Colombian mythology in a hunt for revenge in the metropolis of São Paulo.

BOFFO Building Fashion returns for its third annual store design competition, with Linda Farrow as its next project. Innovative architects will compete to build a striking pop-up shop for the eyewear brand within the parameters of a shipping container located at Pier 57 launching winter 2013. You may recall that shipping container-shopping is part of the permanent plan for the Pier 57 redesign, slated for a 2015 opening.
Previous fashion brands involved in the series include Ohne Titel, The Lake and The Stars, Richard Chai, and the unforgettably expensive Nicola Formichetti concept shop. The Building Fashion program links architecture with fashion to create shops that are equal parts fashion commerce and exhibition design. A wacky promo video featuring models in psychedelic situations sporting Linda Farrow frames can be found here.

text: Pakistan and Saudi Arabia on Saturday agreed to maintain close contact on recent regional developments including US-Iran tensions, President Trump's Middle East 'peace plan' and Kashmir issue, the Foreign Office said on Saturday. "The two foreign ministers reaffirmed the strategic importance of Pakistan-Saudi Arabia relationship and reiterated the shared resolve to deepen bilateral cooperation in diverse fields," the FO statement read, referring to a telephonic conversation between Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan. During the conversation, Foreign Minister Qureshi appreciated Saudi Arabia's steadfast support for the Kashmir cause as a key member of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir. "Views were exchanged on working together to advance the Kashmir cause, including from the OIC platform," the statement maintained. Tensions have increased between Tehran and Washington since the United States killed top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad on January 3, prompting the Islamic Republic to retaliate with a missile strike against a US base in Iraq. President Trump has also proposed the creation of a Palestinian state with a capital on the outskirts of Jerusalem and termed the proposal 'deal of the century'. The plan was outrightly rejected by both Iran and Palestine. Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia had barred an Iranian delegation from an OIC meeting in Jeddah, where Trump's Middle East plan was to be discussed, indicating bitterness in the bilateral relations between the two regional rivals. Separately, Foreign Minister Qureshi on Saturday reiterated Pakistan's political and moral support for the oppressed people of Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) in their struggle for the right to self-determination. While addressing a meeting with parliamentary leaders of Azad Kashmir in Islamabad, Qureshi said Pakistan has made extensive efforts to highlight the gross human rights violations in the occupied valley by Indian government at the diplomatic level. "Kashmir issue is present at the agenda of the UN Security Council, but our effort to move the Security Council again was aimed at highlighting the Kashmir issue afresh and get Pakistan's stance reiterated," he said. "We got success at the Security Council and the Kashmir issue was discussed," he added. The foreign minister stressed that the Human Rights Council in Geneva has also been apprised of the Indian atrocities in the besieged region. He added that the issue has also been debated at the European Union Parliament and the United States Congress. "The Kashmir Cell established at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the direction of the prime minister is playing its effective role to highlight the Kashmir issue," the minister said. Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider lauded Pakistan's efforts to highlight the Kashmir issue and thanked Prime Minister Imran Khan and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi. He emphasised on making joint efforts effectively on the international level to highlight the Kashmir issue. The meeting was also attended by Federal Minister for Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan Ali Amin Gandapur, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Azad Kashmir President Barrister Sultan Mahmood and Speaker Azad Kashmir Assembly Shah Ghulam Qadir.

The Inland Revenue Department is continuing to write off hundreds of millions of dollars in tax every year, with one expert saying the system is "based on trust" and many Kiwis just let their debt spiral "out of control".
Financial specialists also warned the consequences of Covid-19 would not be felt until the Government subsidies ended - and business owners were already "struggling", which was taking an emotional toll.
Figures released under the Official Information Act show nationally it wrote off $533 million in the 2018/19 tax year, including $203m due to liquidations.
In the 2019/20 tax year, which has not finished yet, it wrote off $311m including $104m due to liquidations.
The data also showed over the same timeframes the largest debts written off for a single customer were $49m and $5m consecutively - the department declined to name the companies as the information was confidential.
Meanwhile, in the Bay of Plenty seven companies in Tauranga were taken to the High Court and placed into liquidation from July 2019 to March 31 this year and owed a combined debt of $2.8m. In Rotorua, six companies were taken to court and collectively owed $986,197.
The New Zealand Taxpayers' Union said the fact so much tax had "been written off so early shows how many New Zealanders and businesses are struggling".
Director Jordan Williams said tax should only be written off once "it's very clear it can't be collected".
"It's a reminder that the Government needs to value every dollar and ensure that taxpayers' money is spent well and not wasted."
IRD customer segment lead Richard Philp said tax debt was written off for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, liquidation and the cost of collecting the debt.
"The commissioner must find an appropriate balance ... to collect the highest net revenue, with the need to promote voluntary compliance with regard to the resources available."
Tax Link director Allan Wells said one of the problems with the country's tax system was "it is, based on trust, that we will all do the right thing and pay".
"Then IRD have to make sure that's what's happening and then often human nature comes into play. They might have a small debt which builds up out of their control and then they get in out of their depth.
"You can't get blood out a stone," he said, adding that it was important not to let it reach that point and to seek help.
Wells said being under financial pressure could also take a huge toll.
"Of course, it has a big emotional strain. But it's just getting them to do something about it."
Tauranga-based insolvency specialist Tom Rodewald said a company would be put into liquidation or receivership because it could not pay its bills and there was "no other way forward".
The managing director of Rodewald Consulting Limited said 99 per cent of receiverships were actioned by a secured creditor and it was not uncommon for businesses to negotiate.
But he said negotiations depended on the makeup of the business or whether it had a future or not.
"The common thing at the moment is negotiating with landlords. There is a whole range of circumstances."
Rodewald said he had as many as 10 inquiries from distressed business owners during the "peak" week in May.
"I am used to dealing with one a week ... There was probably a rush once lockdown was removed."
Rodewald said his business quietened in June and July but he expected things to pick up again in September once the wage subsidies ended.
He advised business owners at risk of losing their business to see a professional "before it is too late".
"People need to be realistic about their position. If you're going to start a business you need to be sure you do it right."
Tauranga Chamber of Commerce chief executive Matt Cowley said the global impacts of Covid-19 were yet to be fully realised in New Zealand.
"The wage subsidy helped many people retain employment during and post-lockdown, which has helped consumer spending to rebound to near-normal levels.
"However, there are many uncertainties around New Zealand's long-term economic recovery plan."
Cowley said there would be businesses that have had to close due to Covid-19.
"This could be due to a stroke of bad luck, bad timing, or they are unable to adapt to the new marketplace quickly enough."
He said it was important start-up businesses sought advice, including regarding the company structure, ownership structure, and tax.
"The advice may seem unimportant when you first start but it can be very important later on or during tougher economic periods."
Rotorua Chamber of Commerce chief executive Bryce Heard said tax advice was one of the important pieces of advice required for anyone starting out in business.
"People paid on wages or salaries, largely have their tax paid for them by their employer and a business can run into cash flow issues if tax is not provided for, including provisional tax on next year's forecast profits and regular GST payments on monthly trading."
Heard said not understanding tax was a common problem for new business owners and he advised people not to fall behind with tax payments "as it can have a big effect on your cash flow and the penalties can be draconian".
BDO Tauranga Limited director Paul Manning said a lot of clients were recovering well from Covid-19.
"Some are struggling though and are receiving ongoing support from BDO."
Manning said a lot of business owners may struggle to generate sufficient cash to pay staff once the wage subsidy extension expired.
"The key for business owners' survival is to seek professional advice as early as possible from a business turnaround specialist."

In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the features, design, performance, and overall impact of the Logitech G433 Gaming Headset, exploring why it has become a top choice for gamers seeking a dynamic auditory experience.

But with one battery which you can effortlessly improve with a person hand by just unscrewing the rear battery extension in addition to a double O-ring for cover, I had been modifying mine immediately after just about every dive for max electric power, so I hardly ever received close to that many flashes.
