Chapter OneTorak woke with a jolt from a sleep he'd never meant to have.
The fire had burned low. He crouched in the fragile shell of light and peered into the looming blackness of the Forest. He couldn't see anything. Couldn't hear anything. Had it come back? Was it out there now, watching him with its hot, murderous eyes?
He felt hollow and cold. He knew that he badly needed food, and that his arm hurt, and his eyes were scratchy with tiredness, but he couldn't really feel it. All night he'd guarded the wreck of the spruce bough shelter and watched his father bleed. How could this be happening?
Only yesterday - yesterday - they'd pitched camp in the blue autumn dusk. Torak had made a joke, and his father was laughing. Then the Forest exploded. Ravens screamed. Pines cracked. And out of the dark beneath the trees surged a deeper darkness: a huge rampaging menace in bear form.
Suddenly death was upon them. A frenzy of claws. A welter of sound to make the ears bleed. In a heartbeat, the creature had smashed their shelter to splinters. In a heartbeat, it had ripped a ragged wound in his father's side. Then it was gone, melting into the Forest as silently as mist.
But what kind of bear stalks men - then vanishes without making the kill? What kind of bear plays with its prey?
And where was it now?
Torak couldn't see beyond the firelight, but he knew that the clearing, too, was a wreck of snapped saplings and trampled bracken. He smelled pine-blood and clawed earth. He heard the soft, sad bubbling of the stream thirty paces away. The bear could be anywhere.
Beside him, his father moaned. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at his son without recognition.
Torak's heart clenched. "Fa, it - it's me," he stammered. "How do you feel?"
Pain convulsed his father's lean brown face. His cheeks were tinged with gray, making the clan-tattoos stand out lividly. Sweat matted his long dark hair.
His wound was so deep that as Torak clumsily stanched it with beard-moss, he saw his father's guts glistening in the firelight. He had to grit his teeth to keep from retching. He hoped Fa didn't notice - but of course he did. Fa was a hunter. He noticed everything.
"Torak ..." he breathed. His hand reached out, his hot fingers clinging to Torak's as eagerly as a child. Torak swallowed. Sons clutch their fathers' hands, not the other way around.
He tried to be practical: to be a man instead of a boy. "I've still got some yarrow leaves," he said, fumbling for his medicine pouch with his free hand. "Maybe that'll stop the -"
"Keep it. You're bleeding too."
"Doesn't hurt," lied Torak. The bear had thrown him against a birch tree, bruising his ribs and gashing his left forearm.
"Torak - leave. Now. Before it comes back."
Torak stared at him. He opened his mouth but no sound came.
"You must," said his father.
"No. No. I can't -"
"Torak - I'm dying. I'll be dead by sunrise."
Torak gripped the medicine pouch. There was a roaring in his ears. "Fa -"
"Give me - what I need for the Death Journey. Then get your things."
The Death Journey. No. No.
But his father's face was stern. "My bow," he said. "Three arrows. You - keep the rest. Where I'm going - hunting's easy."
There was a tear in the knee of Torak's buckskin leggings. He dug his thumbnail into the flesh. It hurt. He forced himself to concentrate on that.
"Food," gasped his father. "The dried meat. You - take it all."
Torak's knee had started to bleed. He kept digging. He tried not to picture his father on the Death Journey. He tried not to picture himself alone in the Forest. He was only twelve summers old. He couldn't survive on his own. He didn't know how.
"Torak! Move!"
Blinking furiously, Torak reached for his father's weapons and laid them by his side. He divided up the arrows, pricking his fingers on the sharp flint points. Then he shouldered his quiver and bow and scrabbled in the wreckage for his small black basalt axe. His hazelwood pack had been smashed in the attack; he'd have to cram everything else into his jerkin, or tie it to his belt.
He reached for his reindeer-hide sleeping-sack.
"Take mine," murmured his father. "You never did - repair yours. And - swap knives."
Torak was aghast. "Not your knife! You'll need it!"
"You'll need it more. And - it'll be good to have something of yours on the Death Journey."
"Fa, please. Don't -"
In the Forest, a twig snapped.
Torak spun round.
The darkness was absolute. Everywhere he looked the shadows were bear-shaped. No wind.
No birdsong.
Just the crackle of the fire and the thud of his heart. The Forest itself was holding its breath.
His father licked the sweat from his lips. "It's not here yet," he said. "Soon. It will come for me soon.... Quick. The knives."
Torak didn't want to swap knives. That would make it final. But his father was watching him with an intensity that allowed no refusal.
Clenching his jaw so hard that it hurt, Torak took his own knife and put it into Fa's hand. Then he untied the buckskin sheath from his father's belt. Fa's knife was beautiful and deadly, with a blade of banded blue slate shaped like a willow leaf, and a haft of red deer antler that was bound with elk sinew for a better grip. As Torak looked down at it, the truth hit him. He was getting ready for a life without Fa. "I'm not leaving you!" he cried. "I'll fight it, I -"
"No! No one can fight this bear!"
Ravens flew up from the trees.
Torak forgot to breathe.
"Listen to me," hissed his father. "A bear - any bear - is the strongest hunter in the Forest. You know that. But this bear - much stronger."

Over the weekend we found ourselves at the mall for a bite to eat and then to see the movie Maleficent. The restaurant of choice was a Mexican one, I was voted down 4 to 1, but in my defense Casa Ole is not my favorite place in the world. To be perfectly honest, I'm not even a fan of Mexican food and I always get the same damn thing every damn time, chicken fajitas for two with all the bullshit on a side plate. Pictured above is the side plate in question which is chock full of the crap I will not be putting into my tortillas, ever. Really and truly it is an absolute waste to bring it to the table because it is rarely, if ever, touched.
This day, not unlike any other time coming to the mall (gag), my son was fired up and wanted to go to GameStop, a place he likes to try to get me to separate myself from some of my money in exchange for his newest favorite game of all time. Many times it is okay because he spends some of his money too. But not this time, this time he came with empty pockets, so he has been trying to convince me to "loan" him the money until we get home. Where is the fun in that? Then it hit me! I know how to end all of this game shopping business. I put my plate of cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico, jalapeños, and spiced tomatoes in front of him and explained that if he cleaned the plate I would take him to GameStop to spend up to $100 any way he wanted. He looked at the plate for a few minutes and then accepted my challenge. He was allowed to eat it any way he pleased and could put it on his own food if he liked. I had so much faith in him completing this challenge that I even had a side bet going that he would do it.
As time passed he began nibbling at the edges, he planned in saving the guacamole til last because he really likes guacamole. Now, I have seen some pucker faces, I have seen some gag faces, and I have seen faces of disgust, but some if his faces were brand new to me. About ten minutes into it all my wife the party pooper decided it was over, challenge canceled. Why? Because my son sat directly across from her and she feared inevitably having projectile vomit coming her way soon based in the faces and reactions he was displaying. So, I keep my money. He said he couldn't do any more anyways so whether it was ended prematurely by his mother is really a moog point now. But I lost my side bet because he failed the challenge.
As we discussed the challenge while walking to the movieplex I realized I had made a fatal mistake and it was now being pointed out by my son. The mistake? I said he had to clean the plate not eat everything on the plate. Eating it all was merely implied. He said he had given thought to scraping the plates contents into another plate but figured I would raise the bullshit flag in protect. I told him I would if honored it because of my oversight and his keen ability to seek the technicality. Something that won't happen in the future I promise. As far as the movie Maleficent, I wasn't a fan at all because Angelina Jolie was the only thing that kept me from napping. And I was surprised, we walked by GameStop twice and not a word from my son. We both learned our lessons and we will both come back next time better prepared.

Wayland students return from Spain
PLAINVIEW - Marleny Morales stands by the vacuum at the Wayland Baptist University bookstore. She is surrounded by books and cards, candles and knick-knacks. It's a far cry from where she was two weeks ago.
Morales, a senior music/business major from Plainview, was among 47 Wayland music faculty and students who traveled to Spain on a mission trip sponsored by the Baptist General Convention of Texas earlier in May.
"Over there, you would find yourself in places where on one side of you there are huge mountains covered in trees and on the other side of you is (The Mediterranean Sea)," Morales said, taking a break from her afternoon job to talk about her experience.
The group spent 10 days in Valencia, Madrid and the surrounding areas, spreading the Word of God through music and song, as well as showing His love through their actions in working with the people they were around.
"Our students were unbelievably effective," said Wayland Assistant Professor of Music Robert Black, who organized the trip through the partnership missions office of the BGCT. "We made lots of good music, made friends and helped a lot of Baptist churches and ministries in Spain by giving them some credibility."
The group performed several concerts featuring the band, instrumental ensembles, handbells, a 30-voice choir and Spirit, one of Wayland's marquee vocal ensembles. Black said the highlight of the concerts was a three-movement piece composed by Dr. Gary Belshaw, assistant professor of piano pedagogy.
"It was written specifically for the trip to Spain and specifically for the group of people who went," Belshaw said. "Everybody had a part."
Belshaw, who spent about a month on the project temporarily titled "A Espana," said he hopes to complete it and return to Spain with a full chorus and orchestra to perform a complete concert. During this trip, the group only used part of his composition which implements scripture reading with music for both the band and choir.
Between concerts at local churches and the university where Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote worked, the Wayland group visited the Alpha and Omega Christian School in Denia where they worked with the students.
"If anything made it all worthwhile, it was when we had the opportunity to go to the school and work with the kids," said Morales, who had to learn to cope with cultural differences.
"We got to do some arts and crafts in the classes and we just made simple little necklaces out of washers," she explained, saying some of the children presented her with necklaces made "especially for you. The little washers that I have at home are so treasured because they remind me of these little kids and the little hearts that they have."
Morales said she would gladly go back . as long as she didn't have to stay for a whole summer. While the trip was very rewarding, she said it did have its drawbacks - coping with the cultural differences being the main thing.
"A lot of it was just me being a spoiled American," Morales said. "I was trying to make myself try some of their cultural things, but because of the fact that I am into my own little world, it wasn't working very well."
The lack of available electricity was one thing that Morales, who is used to using three or four outlets at a time, had to deal with.
"We had one for all these people," she said.
Morales, who was raised in Plainview, speaks Spanish and understood the people, but had a hard time reading the menus.
"We would open the menus and I had no earthly idea what anything was," she said. "We would just pick and choose what we were going to eat for the day and would end up getting something that we had no clue what it was."
"The students just ate it anyway," Black said. "They ate squid. They ate rabbit and all kinds of unidentified seafood and fish and acted like it was the best thing they ever had."
Black said the trip went just as planned with no delays or flaws. At the group's two main concerts they played before packed houses and were received with open arms. They also performed several impromptu concerts with overwhelming results.
The reception to their presence and music was more than the group had expected. In a meeting before leaving for Spain, Morales said they were told that many people in Spain might not be open to people from the United States.
"When we finished our first number, we were overwhelmed with applause," Morales said. "It was awesome that they were so open to us."
Morales even spent time translating "Trading My Sorrows" from English to Spanish and teaching it to the members of Spirit who were able to perform in Spain's native language.
"In one of the emails that we got, the pastor at the school was telling us that the little kids were singing it all day long," Morales said. "It was cool that we had that influence on them."
Not only was the group able to influence the young, but for a moment, they bridged the gap between Catholicism and protestant religions. A catholic priest was invited to one of the concerts and when the group had finished and the preacher had delivered his message, the priest was asked if he would like to speak.
"The pastor preached the salvation plan and after he preached they brought up the Catholic priest," Morales said. "They didn't think he was going to be there, but he showed up and they allowed him to say some words. He talked about how even though there are different beliefs, we were using music and that preaches to everybody.
"It was awesome because here were two people that have different beliefs and they were brought together by something that we were able to do."

This is one of those reviews that is difficult for me to write, because I want to make sure you understand what an outstanding piece of work this is, but am fearful it will simply come across as a big David Hobby butt kissing love fest.
There is a lot to like about "Lighting in Layers", starting with the price, it's only $159 for a hard copy or $99 for the download.
Yes the price is low, but the value and quality of the content is high, very high. You will be getting 7 discs full of 9 hours of non-stop learning, no wasted time, no fluff, no filler (6 DVD's are "Lighting in layers", the 7th disc is the complete seminar in a lower res format that can be loaded on a portable media player). Though you are getting hours and hours of video the segments are relatively short, ranging from just 5-20 minutes long, so you attack it in small, manageable, easy to digest bites.
The DVD starts out teaching us the basics, shooting with just Window Light:
Then shows us how to shoot with a single flash (key light) and a window (fill light):
Then shooting with a flash only:
And from here is where it really takes off, with David showing us how to "Light in Layers", how to properly use of the building blocks of light, where to add light, in what order to add them, in shooting scenarios that become more challenging, more demanding.
He does it with a combination of easily accessible (and inexpensive) gear and many DIY alternatives (like aluminum foil reflectors, spaghetti box snoots, and Home Depot clamps). In fact you can see the complete list of gear used for each of the shoots.
Not only is "Lighting in Layers" affordable, it will teach you how to light affordably as well, all while giving your client the best possible product.
It is NOT meant to be a cookie cutter lighting recipe, it is meant to teach us how light(s) impact our subject.
There are six full shoots in total, all start at the very beginning - understanding the location, what the end result needs to be and how it will be lit. It then proceeds to actually setting up the equipment and then shoot and all that comes with it (the adjustments, changes, etc.). Five the the shoots are "on the road" assignments, and all are very different and provide a unique lighting/learning opportunities.
During each there are three different conversations going on, David is talking to (and teaching) us the viewer, he is talking to the model(s) (learning how to talk to/guide a person you are shooting is so important), and he is talking to his VALS (voice activated light stand, aka lighting assistant).
I really like the fact that as he presses the shutter the images appear immediately on the screen, even the clunkers, this makes it so much easier to follow the process and make the connection between what he is doing, the setup, and the image it produces.
Speaking of clunkers, there are times that David comes into a shoot with an idea, or tries something that doesn't work or needs to be changed and we get to see it (and he shares it) all, because that's what happens in real life and it's an important to learn how to adapt.
Each session wraps up with the "Lighting Notebook", David lays out a blank piece of paper and steps us through the lighting diagram, reinforcing what we just learned, which I found valuable.
And no opportunity is lost when it comes to teaching, there are a handful of studio shot "mini lectures" where Mr. Hobby challenges the viewers to figure out how it is lit, so we are learning from what he is saying, and learning to recognize how a scene is lit. "Deconstructing" is a pretty good learning tool. At the end of the lecture the camera zooms out, the lighting is revealed (and explained).
I was pleasantly surprised about the inclusion of the business aspect of photography (just wasn't expecting it), David has started a new local blog called HOCO360, a visual journal for Howard County Maryland, and he walks us through the decisions he made when setting it up, selecting assignments, client relations, and much more. So if you are looking to start your site, or improve the one you already have there are some real gems to learn from here too.
I also learned David is a funny guy, has a phenomenal sense of family, of community, and makes decisions based on "doing what is right". The kind of person you would want to have lunch with.
Well, his butt should be sufficiently wrinkled from all my kissing... but seriously, if you ever struggle with lighting, or simply don't shoot certain things because of a lack of confidence or know-how please invest in yourself, invest in your photography by purchasing (and watching) "Lighting in Layers", you will learn much from it, I did.

Subject: Update on our Yahoo! discussions
I wanted to take an opportunity to provide my thoughts and perspective on the conclusion of our discussions with Yahoo!, and its announcement of a commercial agreement with Google.
As I shared in my mail on May 18 (see attached), we have better options than a full combination with Yahoo! at the price it suggested, and we have moved forward on our strategy to grow our online business.
Let me share a little background with you. When we made our original proposal on February 1st to combine with Yahoo!, we offered a 62 percent premium that was based on a desire to reach an agreement in short order. The faster we could reach an agreement, the sooner we could begin the regulatory process and create value through this combination.
In a March 10th meeting in Palo Alto, we explained to Yahoo! management the importance of reaching an agreement by the end of April in order to have an opportunity to complete the regulatory process by the end of this calendar year. Because we could not come to an agreement on price by the end of April and given our concerns about Yahoo!'s business performance, we elected to withdraw our bid and pursue better options for Microsoft.
During the last few weeks, we spent a considerable amount of time with Yahoo! discussing an alternative proposal around search. Specifically, this search proposal had three components:
· Microsoft would have invested $8 billion in Yahoo! at $35/share;
· Microsoft would have purchased Yahoo!'s search assets for $1 billion, and assumed the operations and R&D expense while returning data back to Yahoo! for use in their advertising business; and
· Microsoft and Yahoo! would have entered into a long-term search partnership, where Microsoft would have provided favorable economics to Yahoo! search, including a three-year guarantee of higher monetization than Yahoo!'s Panama paid search system currently provides.
This partnership would have created a stronger competitor to Google, providing greater choice and innovation for advertisers, publishers and consumers. This approach could have been implemented quickly and would have simplified the integration process for both parties. It would have also established the basis for a long-term Internet partnership between Yahoo! and Microsoft.
We believe this proposal would have created compelling value for Yahoo! and its shareholders in at least three ways:
· New Transfer of Cash to Yahoo! Shareholders. This proposal would have transferred $9 billion from Microsoft to Yahoo!, which could have been used by Yahoo! to reward their shareholders.
· A More Profitable Ongoing Business. This proposal would have resulted in higher operating income on an annual basis for Yahoo!, with our projections more than doubling Yahoo!'s operating income in the first year of operation, and increasing it by more than $1 billion above its current operating income level.
· A More Compelling Search Offering. The combination of the search platforms would have unlocked new R&D innovation, eliminated redundant engineering efforts and allowed for greater scale in serving our customers.
Taken together, we believe that our proposal would have created total value for Yahoo!'s shareholders in excess of $33 per share.
Unfortunately Yahoo! has chosen a different course, and yesterday announced an agreement that would start to consolidate over 90 percent of the paid search advertising market in Google's hands. This will make the market far less competitive. There are many experts who suggest that a host of legal and regulatory problems lie ahead for Google and Yahoo!.
Regardless of Yahoo!'s decision, we will continue to move forward on our strategy in online services and advertising.
Since my mail on May 18, we have been making great progress. At our advance08 conference, we announced Live Search cashback and Live Search Farecast, and the initial response to these user experience and business model innovations in search has been very positive. On June 2nd, we also announced a distribution deal with HP, the world's largest PC manufacturer, to install a Live Search-enabled toolbar on all HP consumer PCs planned to ship in the United States and Canada, beginning in January 2009.
We look forward to sharing more milestones and details on our plans as we head to MGX and our Financial Analyst Meeting in July.
I remain confident in our assets, plans and people to succeed in building our online business. Thanks again for your commitment and focus.

Transport Exchange Group provide the busiest and most trusted Freight Exchanges in the UK.
What is a Freight Exchange?
It is a trade-only online platform for logistics companies and owner operators to buy and sell loads and spare vehicle capacity.
Using Webfleet Solutions GPS positioning data and feeding it in to our Freight Exchanges, we automatically match current vehicle location with available loads that have been posted on to the Exchange and email you details about the load directly. This presents the opportunity to obtain additional loads for those vehicles in your fleet that have spare capacity - on the return leg for example.
Our Vehicle Activity Management console gives you full control over every tracked vehicle.
Established in 2000, the Transport Exchange Group operates two of the UK's largest, busiest and fastest-growing independent freight exchanges. Our Exchanges provide our members with an online, real-time, user-friendly transaction and communication hub, with which they can offset these challenges and drive continued and profitable growth, despite increasingly tough operating conditions. Transport Exchange Group is a privately held company, headquartered in London, United Kingdom and with additional offices in California and Utrecht.

I am a 62-year old woman who was treated for carcinosarcoma in a Fallopian tube, and I live outside of Philadelphia, PA.
On Christmas Day 2012 I experienced symptoms – blood-tinged, watery vaginal discharge – that a post-menopausal woman should not have. WebMD.com suggested that I call the doctor right away. I did that the next day and was able to get in immediately. Saw the physician assistant who ordered pelvic and vaginal ultrasounds and offered to "look up there." I declined that offer, but did have the ultrasounds. The doctor's office relayed the results by the end of the week – could be a cyst on the left ovary or chronic fibroids – with instructions to see a specialist immediately.
About a week later I visited a local gynocologist. With only the written ultrasound analysis in front of her and an external poke-around exam, the gyn told me that the ovary needed to be taken out immediately and at my age, I "didn't need the rest." She wanted to admit me for surgery four days later to do a total abdominal hysterectomy, and while I was on the operating table, the tissues would be sent to pathology. If any cancer was found, fatty tissue and lymph nodes would be removed, with the assistance of an attending local gyn-oncologist. She offered a prescription for Xanax. I demurred, saying that my husband and I had planned a weekend getaway – couldn't I do that – and that I would seek a second opinion at University of Pennsylvania. She reluctantly agreed, and the slight body language response suggested that I had slapped her in the face. For the interim, she ordered a CT scan and CA125 blood test, which I obtained right away.
The CT scan revealed a cystic ovary; the CA125 was within normal limits.
With the results of the ultrasounds, CT scan and CA125 in hand, I consulted a leading gynecologic oncologist at Penn Medicine/Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, a week after that. His view was different. Because I was low risk for ovarian cancer (slender, not diabetic, good health, little compelling family history and test results that showed nothing alarming), he recommended removal of the ovaries and Fallopian tubes. This was done laproscopically on an outpatient basis on 1/28/2013. Surgery went swimmingly and recovery was swift.
A week later the pathology results came in. He called me with the "incidental finding" – a .9 cm tumor in the left Fallopian tube. The cancer was carcinosarcoma and highly aggressive. The pathologist thought it had been a mistake, consulted with him about risk factors and took a second look at the tissue samples to confirm the diagnosis. Next step: radical hysterectomy, omentumectomy and selective lymphadenectomy with chemotherapy to follow.
Surgery was performed robotically (only five 1 cm incisions) on Valentine's Day and went well. Pathology results showed no other cancer in any tissue removed, including biopsies of diaphram, peritonetum and miscellaneous suspicious scar tissue. Home the next day. The "Tumor Board," a committee of pathologists, surgeons and oncologists at Penn, concluded that the cancer was Stage I.
The hematologist oncologist recommended four rounds of chemotherapy – carboplatin/taxol. Each one-day treatment was weeks apart. I came through the treatments pretty well. Managed the nausea with Sea-bands, the constipation and heartburn with OTC meds. Hair fell out and I experienced mild peripheral neuropathy. Like most people, I felt pretty lousy on days 3 - 5 after a treatment. Oddly, my CA125 went up after surgery and was still higher that it had been in January before surgery.
The treatment is the clinical standard for ovarian cancer, since there are no other standards for this type of cancer (the hematologist described me as the "rarest of the rare").
Update 11/30/2013
Chemotherapy ended on May 9. My hair began growing back a month later, and the mild peripheral neuropathy is gone. Have had two CT scans since May, both of which show two undefined masses that may be scar tissue. CA125 is in the single digits. The oncologist would like a CT/PET scan early next year, hoping that it will provide more definitive info. Surgeon was not concerned; thought the masses were post surgery scar tissue.
I feel quite good. Have recovered from surgery, though still get tired if I overdo it. A marvelous mindfulness class facilitated by an art therapist really helped me to work through the sense of loss that followed surgery and treatment.
Update 3/7/2014
CT scan and visit to the oncologist in late February. Scan showed that everything has stabilized; CA125 still in single digits, and oncologist said that I'm in remission. Only side effect is mild lymphedema in lower right leg. I'm feeling quite well now.

Evaluating Equipment In New Ways
Your first steps on the lean manufacturing journey are typically taken with existing equipment in tow. As you continue down the path, though, make sure that your new equipment purchases support the lean initiatives you hope to sustain.
Lean discussions typically cover manufacturing methodologies, strategies and approaches that will hopefully reduce wasteful actions. They should. I'd argue, though, that it's just as important to address equipment in lean conversations and Kaizen events.
Unless you're starting a new shop with a clean slate and an empty facility, you'll implement lean based upon equipment already in place. You'll think about ways to make your resources work more effectively and function in concert with each other to eliminate that which does not add to customer value. However, business conditions may improve to the point where you simply need to add capacity. Or, perhaps your continuous improvement efforts are unearthing strikingly wasteful processes inhibiting smooth work flow. At that point, decisions about what types of machine tools and other shop staples must be made. How you evaluate and ultimately choose that equipment should be different now that lean is your driving force.
Consider machine tools. You may start looking more closely at their size, for instance. Compact machines offer lean advantages in that they consume less floor space and are relatively easy to maneuver into cells as needs change. Similarly, multitasking machines can free floor space because one machine can do what would normally take two or more. Plus, it's possible that they can reduce work in process and part travel within a shop because parts can be machined complete. The same can hold true when indexing units are used to turn a three-axis machine into a four- or five-axis machine. Complete part machining may be possible.
Equipment that can reduce setup times should be targeted. For example, alternate workholding devices such as magnetic and vacuum chucks can secure parts after a flip of a switch. Likewise, workpiece pallet systems allow quick, repeatable positioning of parts on a machine table. Even machine tools can provide setup benefits. Machines with dual pallets enable a new job to be fixtured on one pallet while the machine cuts parts on the other one.
My point here is not to provide an exhaustive list of related examples that demonstrate how the right type of equipment can help reduce waste in a shop. However, when a major bottleneck to the value stream is spotted, consider whether a new type of equipment might be the way to improve process effectiveness. Let lean shape your purchasing decisions.

I live in a small town and do not have a Lush store here. I assume one must go to the store to pick up the entry. I heard about Lush on utube but have never tried these products. I thought that I would enter a few contest and hopefully try to win to see if I like it. It does sound like a good product.

More About This Title Reconstructing Earth's Climate History: Inquiry-based exercises for lab and class
- English
The context for understanding global climate change today lies in the records of Earth's past. This is demonstrated by decades of paleoclimate research by scientists in organizations such as the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), the Antarctic Geological Drilling Program (ANDRILL), and many others.
The purpose of this full colour textbook is to put key data and published case studies of past climate change at your fingertips, so that you can experience the nature of paleoclimate reconstruction.
Using foundational geologic concepts, students explore a wide variety of topics, including: marine sediments, age determination, stable isotope paleoclimate proxies, Cenozoic climate change, climate cycles, polar climates, and abrupt warming and cooling events, students are invited to evaluate published scientific data, practice developing and testing hypotheses, and infer the broader implications of scientific results.
It is our philosophy that addressing how we know is as important as addressing what we know about past climate change. Making climate change science accessible is the goal of this book.
This book is intended for earth science students at a variety of levels studying paleoclimatology, oceanography, Quaternary science, or earth-system science.
Additional resources for this book can be found at:http://www.wiley.com/go/stjohn/climatehistory.

"In developing Reconstructing Earth's Climate History, St John et al. say that they were driven by the philosophy that "addressing how we know is as important as addressing what we know about past climate". They have, without question, lived up to the billing. The book is composed of exercises based on authentic data, with well-constructed, full-color graphs, photos, tables, and diagrams. In fact, the graphic elements are the central features of this book, and the text, which is mostly organized by series of questions, tasks, and boxes, is supplementary - an entirely refreshing and inviting format that is designed to enhance inquiry-based learning by working directly with real paleoclimate data and their underlying geological concepts...St John et al. have provided a tremendous educational gift to the paleoclimate community. If you are in the field and want a textbook that will be sure to stimulate student interest in this important topic, look no further." (Eos, April 2013)
"This publication has added value for and warmly recommend to support not only courses in palaeoclimatology, but also courses in a wider array of interdisciplinary environmental sciences." (Int. J. Environment and Pollution, 1 May 2013)

I,m feeling a little bit fragile at the moment. It was our station Christmas Bash last night!
Everything was there in place for a night of fun filled jollification and discotheque type japes. The D.J. was playing his records….on vinyl, so they kept slipping and ending the songs about 30 seconds into them.
The venue had provided, free of charge, two drunk women dancing on the floor. Nobody had a clue who they were, I think they got lost from one of the other parties going on next door! (Not a good sight seeing two drunk women trying to dance, and not bothering about their fat flesh wobbling over their hipsters.)
The "buffet" was amazing! It was just like a scene from Scooby Do with the same things being seen from one end to the other….."sandwichs….quiche….eggs….sausage rolls….sandwichs….quiche….eggs….sausage rolls" (thanks to Peter Kaye for the analogy).
I ate some of it and regretted it straight away. You just sometimes know that something is not quite right when you taste it. This was the case in point with the "sausage roll". It was spicey…..very spicy…..I mean really f*%^ing spicey!!! I couldnt, and still cant, get rid of the taste. And I,ve been to the "Great White Telephone" 3 times so far!
My ears are still ringing from when the D.J. cranked up the volume on his discotheque machine thingy. Good selection of tunes I thought….not! There was not one person in the room who was a Chav but we got subjected to a fair bit of rapper M.C. "in the hood" "all the police are pigs" "your mothers a motherf*&%ing pimp" type music. Nice.
I still cant hear properly…..its bloody annoying!
Anyway I hope everyone has a brill Christmas and a superb New Year……have a safe one……Kingmagic.

There is still much to be done, but it's nice to no longer have deadlines and I can just move at my own (or my kids') pace. I haven't sewn in a month (besides the binding on that quilt) and I'm itching to go. Last week I started unloading my boxes of stuff and it got me so excited. I even spent some time at my kitchen table cutting squares Saturday night and I was in heaven. (Can you imagine how pathetic that last sentence would sound to a lot of people?? ha ha.) Felt so good to have that rotary cutter in my hand.
Here is one of my unpacking projects: my future sewing room! [Yes, a ROOM. That annoying high-pitched sound you hear is me trying to suppress a squeal so I don't embarrass my family.] I always forget to take "before" pictures, but here you have one. Can't wait to take "after" pictures. Or at least "progress" pictures.
Right after we closed on the house I came to walk through the empty house, knowing it was finally ours. I had my boys with me and they were walking around saying things like: "here is where we will put our couch and here is where we will put my bed . . ." when the youngest opened a closet in the basement and said, "Here is where we will put our monsters."
It could be that we were still talking about the same thing.

I know that this issue is fairly common, but it's also fairly vague. I'm having one heck of a time tracking it down, so I was hoping somebody who has seen it before would be able to help. My issue is this:
I have a certain child window that causes these popups. It causes them every time when I first start the program. Then after I open about 10 of the child windows, it stops happening. But the first 10 times I open that window, I get a dialog that says "The parameter is correct". Here are the exact symptoms I'm experiencing:
- I get 3 messages when I first open the window.
- I get more messages ("random" number) whenever I hover over one of the controls on the window (1 CComboBox, 2 CDateTimeCtls and 1 CMFCButton)
- If I don't hover over one of the controller, I won't get any more messages.
- I get 3 messages when closing the window.
- After opening enough of the child windows, it stops happening.
- The error is disrupting program flow, because my window doesn't load completely when it happens.
- Pausing on the message box shows the call stack somewhere in mfc.dll
- No exceptions are thrown.
- The error doesn't happen when running from withing VS. I have to build the application and run it separately. (But it does happen if I run it separately and then attach the VS debugger).
As background info: I'm building an MFC application in Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7.
From what I can tell, it has to do with one of the MFC controls I'm using, I just can't seem to find which one. Commenting out the controls I see doesn't do anything. It almost seems like a resource error, but everything I read online points to it being an MFC issue.
Any help is much appreciated. Hopefully I've explained it properly.

Chocolate chip cookies sound basic, but baking them from scratch can be tricky. Even a tiny misstep can result in dried-out, crumbly, hard-as-rock cookies or, worst of all, cookies that are mushy and raw in the center yet somehow burnt to a crisp on the edges. Remi Hayashi Girouard, pastry chef and co-owner of Goody Goodie Cream & Sugar in San Francisco, has a few simple rules for how to bake chocolate chip cookies the right way, every time.
You're Doing It All Wrong is constructive criticism. Don't take it the wrong way: Just learn the right way.

The business model is one which seeks economy of scale by expanding the user-base thereby covering the cost of the onging support of existing users and generating plenty of goodwill along the way.
Unfortunately consequent to broken promises I'll never be able to recommend Fastmail to anyone ever again.
PS What sort of complex forwarding issues exist? [email protected] => [email protected] is all that would be needed isn't it?

Hey BronG, I see the $15 credit (thank you, that's way more than many places do and I greatly appreciate it).
Have a question. I was one of those weirdos that paid the 5 years in advance so I have an enhanced account that doesn't expire until mid 2021. Is that plan going to still be honored or would i need to move to another one? It's not a huge jump in cost ($18 more a year so literally $1.50 more a month) just wanting to know.
FWIW I like paying into the future as much as I can at as many places as I can, but understand that you can't always be grandfathered forever (just saw AT&T up my unlimited grandfathered unlimited iPhone data plan another $5/yr for the 2nd year in a row and I can't do boo about it.

The costs of running an online service are considerably higher than the costs of providing a single software package. Companies can provide upgrades according to what their budget allows for, and if they've promised "unlimited upgrades" that's probably going to factor into how often you see new free upgrades. FastMail has to keep the servers running and provide ongoing support for a live system every single day — they don't have the flexibility of budgeting and scheduling when and how to spend their money in the same way a software developer does.
That said, just to be fair I can think of at least one other online service that I paid for a "lifetime" subscription to 10-15 years ago that I'm still grandfathered in on (dyn.com — I still have hosting for seven domains there and I haven't paid them a nickel in about 15 years), despite their switch to a regular subscription model for everybody else not long after that. So I'm not necessarily defending FastMail here – just saying that I can kind of see both sides — but at the same time I really don't feel that comparing an online service to a standalone software package is a fair comparison.
In a nutshell, many email domains now publicly list which servers are "allowed" to send mail on their behalf (technically, these are known as SPF records and are published in DNS). If you forward mail through FastMail, all forwarded messages received at your new mail provider will be coming from FastMail's servers, rather than the original servers "authorized" by the original sender. This will cause them to fail anti-spam checks on many services. A search through these forums will reveal many users who have had these problems in both directions — forwarding mail from FastMail to other services, and forwarding mail from other services into FastMail.
Best case scenario is that your messages forwarded from FastMail have a higher spam score and are more likely to end up in your junk mail folder. Worst case scenario is that you lose forwarded messages entirely. Which scenario you end up with will depend entirely on how you're new mail provider (e.g. "goodbye.com") chooses to handle these types of validation failures (and how much control they give you over the rules for that).
Of course, when things break, who does the end user go to, and whose responsibility is it to fix the problem, or at least explain the problem to the user? Chances are that FastMail support would still end up getting a lot of messages from folks who have no idea what's going on, merely that their FastMail address is "broken" in some way, and expecting FastMail to do something about it.
Further, this only covers the underlying mechanics of forwarding — it says nothing about issues around FastMail creating and maintaining a user interface to set things up and manage forwarding in the future. If FastMail did what BritTim suggests — offer to set up a one-time forward for legacy "Member" accounts, that still potentially opens the door to more work for them, as there are still folks who will expect that because they've basically been paying around $1/year for an email account that FastMail still owes them something, which would include not only support requests but requests in the future to change the forwarding address when things inevitably change for them down the road (e.g. they switch mail providers again for whatever reason).
Honestly, my recommendation right now to all of those folks who thought that they had a "lifetime" email address with FastMail is to go out and buy your own domain name, find somewhere to host it, and then go through the process of moving everything over to it. As much of a hassle as that may be, you'll at least know for sure it will be the last time you'll ever have to do that. This is the only way you can guarantee that your address will never change. Even major providers like Gmail and Hotmail/Outlook reserve the right to pull the rug out from under you. Granted, you'll pay more for having your own domain name — not to mention a provider who will host it for you — but you get what you pay for and this is honestly the only way to guarantee an email address for life.

Since they are getting both a refund and 50% reduction on their Fastmail upgrade, why not plan to host your domain at Fastmail in the short term. The incremental cost is pretty little for a 6-month or 12-month subscription. This ensures a longer period to ensure your correspondents are using your new email address before pulling the plug on the Fastmail address(es).

Am I the only person who reads the Terms Of Service? All TOS documents state that the current TOS always supersedes any previous terms, and that the service provider can terminate or modify accounts at any time for any reason. There were never any lifetime guarantee in the TOS or any other written communication from FastMail. Please read the TOS for FastMail or any other service and you will discover that services are provided at the discretion of the provider.
As you can see in the old EMD threads (such as the one posted by BritTim), FastMail considered lifetime features for Full and Enhanced accounts, but you won't find any mention of lifetime Member features. I have my original Welcome To FastMail email for my member account (sent 10 years ago), and there is no mention of any guaranteed period of service. The Member account was just a way for potential customers to try out the service before purchasing a much more expensive yearly Full or Enhanced account.
I think the key point is that all Member accounts received far more value than anyone anticipated 10-15 years ago when they made the purchase. You have been able to use many enhancements to a Member account (such as two factor authentication and many other features) which were not available originally. FastMail has been encouraging you to upgrade your account for years, and they are even refunding the money you paid in years ago to assist you in the upgrade. I can't understand why anyone thinks they are getting a raw deal here, when many of them received email service for less than US $1.50 per year.

Honestly, I've always felt more fortunate that some companies are good enough to do things like this. As I mentioned earlier, I signed up for DynDNS back around 2000 when they actually were promising one-time payments for lifetime DNS hosting. I personally consider the fact that I still have seven domains with them and haven't given them a cent in over 15 years to be a privilege, not a right.

I entirely agree that those who have Member accounts have received a good deal. I further agree that Fastmail was largely motivated to offer unlimited term Member accounts in the hope that many would convert later to higher level accounts. Pricing was calculated based on projections of the percentage of Member accounts that would do just that. None of this changes the fact that people were purchasing accounts they expected, and were led to believe, they could use as long as Fastmail remained in business under the same, or better, conditions.
If you believe this to be untrue, find a single post on the forums from 2002-2006 where Jeremy or Rob M contradicted people who spoke of their lifetime subscription. There are none because, while Fastmail regretted it later, early Member accounts were purchased with that as the main selling point.
Saying the Member account was some kind of trial subscription is post facto rationalization, not supported by the facts.

I do this, I have my own domain (a couple of them actually), but I'm not sure that in 50 years they will still work the same way that they do now. Nothing is forever, particularly in something as new as the internet with so much churn.
I can't even buy spare parts for the Ikea shelves I bought 4 years ago. There's a new model out, and they have different connectors.

People cant expect to pay $15 and think it's going to last 20 years, it was a good deal at the time.
But Fastmail changed so many things in the member accounts and made them almost unusable, it had minimal storage and you were only allowed one alias, plus a lot of other features did not work and when you tried to use them you were asked to upgrade. I deleted my account a few months ago. I just use my local ISP for my back up mailbox.
Personally we have got fed up with all the Fastmail changes and the bits that are now missing in the current UI.

That said, I'm fairly confident that if anything is going to last on the Internet, it's those things that have already stood the test of time and become standards because of their venerable age. I figure any RFC with a number that originated below, say, 2000 that's still in widespread use today is probably going to be around for a while
Let's face it, few of the major Internet players are otherwise interested in actual "standards" anymore, and with so many fiefdoms pushing for their own proprietary implementations, it's the open protocols and standards of yesteryear that survive as the single common denominators across the entire Internet. That's why I laugh at all of these "death of email" articles that pop up every so often.

I believe email for personal communications is slowly dying. For the most part, the younger generation do not use it, and are dragging their parents into social media applications as the way of keeping in touch.
In business, there is no imminent prospect of email dying out, but I am not sure about the longer term even there. The increasing use of collaboration software, supporting teams including both internal and external participants, is supplanting email markedly in some organizations. We shall see.

There are people in this thread threatening a class action lawsuit because they $15 spent 15 years ago and want lifetime email? 15 years in internet time is a lifetime. You got lucky paying only a $1 a year for a great service. Now let's move on and stop being ridiculous.
Please appreciate that Fastmail has found a sustainable business model and is still around unlike many other things purchased that long ago.

Bow Season Opening Day
Well it's about three weeks until the whitetail bow season opening day here in Kansas and today I went to check one of my trail cameras and put up a stand. I had put out some Big Tine Fortified Deer Blend about a week ago in this honey hole which is one of my favorite bow hunting spots, and couldn't wait to see what kind of pictures I had gotten. Because when I first put this camera out as I was riding my four wheeler down the edge of the cornfield coming out I saw a huge buck that I was almost certain was a buck we had named "Tall Tine" and I hadn't seen him since last October 10th, when he disappeared. I was afraid he had caught EHD and died, but sure as the world when I checked my sd card he was back bigger and better than ever, and I got a ton of pictures of many other bucks as well and one really nice non-typical freak nasty buck with three main beams and about 13 to 15 points.
So now I am really pumped up and ready to get after the big boys and bow season opening day can't get here soon enough.
How about you have you got your stands up and cameras out? How about food plots? If you planted food plots how are they looking? We have had some decent rain here in the mid-west and it is a lot cooler this year than it was last year at this time. Plus last season was terrible with EHD in Kansas and other states but hopefully the cooler weather and rain will help keep that stuff away this year. I was really worried about there being any big bucks this year because I was afraid EHD had just about wiped them off them out, but it looks like this is going to be a great season, fingers crossed.
I have been practicing with my bow daily, and the Mathews Z7 is shooting so sweet and ready to go! We owe it to the deer to make sure we are able to make good clean shots and practice in all types of conditions so we can be confident when it comes time to take a shot. So lets get out there and practice.
Have a great up-coming deer season everyone.

3 of 4 Referenda Approved in Champaign, Urbana Township Meetings
All but one vote for non-binding referenda in Champaign and Urbana's annual town meetings will mean questions on November's ballot.
On a 23 to 10 vote, those in the City of Champaign town meeting Tuesday night backed the idea of a constitutional amendment, placing limits on the legal status of corporations and how much can be spent on campaigns.
Speaking at the meeting, Al Kagan says campaign finance reform isn't a partisan issue. With a U.S. Supreme Court opening the door to large donors he says individuals don't really have a say anymore about what happens in U-S government.
"Think about the kinds of campaign finance reform that have been proposed from both sides of the political spectrum," said Kagan. "And to try to get our elections back on track so that individuals have a voice."
The same item passed unanimously in Urbana's Cunningham town meeting on a 25 -to-nothing vote. Three additional participants there voted yes on a referendum on whether private citizens could exercise certain free speech rights - producing a 28-to nothing tally.
The idea is to let private citizens to engage in non-disruptive activity, like handing out leaflets on private properties like malls or parking lots. Backer Michael Weissman says the idea needed some clarification to ensure the idea was fairly limited, and wasn't extended to sites like apartment buildings.
"It's difficult to just do ordinary leafleting because typically the place where people get out of their cars is some dozens of feet off the public sidewalk," Weissman said. "You don't want to leaflet people in their cars. Just being able to extent to things that feel like public spaces but are technically under private ownership."
The idea was backed unanimously in Urbana's Cunningham Township meeting 28-nothing. Weissman says such activity has already been allowed through the courts in California and New York.
The same issue narrowly failed in City of Champaign Township on a 16 to 15 vote.
The two referenda had been supported by members of the local Occupy C-U movement.

When Your Child Has a Serious Emotional or Behavioral Disorder
Estimates are that about 20 percent of Idaho's children may need some type of treatment for emotional or behavioral disorders which can negatively affect their thinking, feelings, judgment, emotions and/or behavior. While most children with emotional and behavioral disorders are able to benefit from services such as individual or family counseling, about half of this 20 percent experience severe and persistent disorders. These children are often failing at school, at home, within the community and require more intensive services and supports.
What's happening to my child?
Emotional and behavioral disorders can take a number of forms. Children may be in danger of harming themselves or someone else. They may withdraw, be fearful, jumpy or sad and depressed. The exact cause of these problems is largely unknown and usually varies from child to child. Current research suggests that biological, social, psychological and environmental factors are all important.
Effective treatments are available!
A wide range of therapeutic, educational and social services is essential to address the needs of children with emotional and/or behavioral disorders and their families. Nationwide experience says that a good mental health service system should:
What services are available?
There is a continuum of publicly-funded services available to eligible children. These services include:
The majority of services listed above (with the exception of Out of Home Placement) may be covered by your child's Medicaid* benefits. Effective September 1, 2013, Medicaid-funded behavioral health services for children are administered by Optum Idaho, Medicaid's managed care behavioral health contractor. Services will be authorized based on need and are provided through Optum-enrolled network providers. To learn more about your child's access services through Medicaid call 1-855-202-0893 or go to Optum Idaho.
Cost of mental health services
Mental health treatment, like all medical care, can be expensive. Your child's treatment may be paid for through a health insurance policy, directly by you, or with your child's Medicaid card. In addition, Idaho receives a limited amount of funds from the state legislature and the federal government which may be used to help purchase treatment services for eligible children. Your share of the costs of these services is based on your family's ability to pay using a sliding fee scale.
(2) Children's Mental Health staff will help determine your child's and family's eligibility for services. This determination is based on the severity of the child's illness and the "medical necessity" of the services.
(3) If your child and family are determined to be eligible, a staff member will work with your family to complete a comprehensive assessment.
(4) The staff person and your family, together, will develop a Service Plan. The Service Plan identifies specific concerns, strengths, what needs to happen to make things better, and how long it should take.
(5) For families without Medicaid or other insurance, a sliding fee scale is used to determine your share of costs.
(6) You and the staff person review the available providers from which you will select one or more to provide services.
(7) The plan is reviewed periodically by Children's Mental Health staff to make sure that the services are helping your child and family.

Phantom Boy Reveals Upcoming Song "Kiss Me On The Beach (Bésame En La Playa)"
Phantom Boy has shared the details of a new song entitled "Kiss Me On The Beach (Bésame En La Playa)". Embellished with tropical-esque beats, urban and pop nuances, it reflects summery vibes. The talented Venezuelan-born artist confirms this cut will be released this Saturday, September 12th. It comes after the recent remix of "Te Quiero", which is also a Spanish party song. On a side note, he brings these infectious sounds to his new label Europa Musical Digital Record.
Naturally, "Kiss Me On The Beach (Bésame En La Playa)" awakens our wish to take unforgettable vacations in an exotic island. If the tension of the stay-at-home quarantine is getting to you, Phantom Boy's music energizes you to dance all night long. Not for nothing, Latin music is more popular than ever before. Listen to a preview of this amazing track below.
Yellow Claw Celebrate Barong Family's 200th Release With 7-Track EP 'BF200'
Yellow Claw's Barong Family celebrates 6 years and 200 releases with an EP compilation appropriately titled 'BF200' which features seven brand new tracks from the brightest names on the label, such as Yellow Claw themselves, Wiwek, Crisis Era, RayRay, GHOSTER, Nonsens, Psycho Boys Club, and more. The Amsterdam-based imprint has become known for its wide range of musical influences and high-tempo BPMs, and "BF200" follows the same vein. Spanning sounds from three continents and even a reworked '90s classic, "BF200" also has a unique and fantastical backstory. Ever the creative crew, the EP's accompanying artwork, and bonus audiobook see Barong Family travels across space and time to save their home planet Mother Earth. Head honchos Yellow Claw describe the impetus behind the EP below:
"It has been a wild ride since when we had put out our first release on Barong Family back in 2014. During the past 6 years, we have met many talented artists who wanted to take part in this adventure with us and joined the family. Moksi, RayRay, Wiwek, and more all saw the transition from Barong Family – a music label to Barong Family – a worldwide brand with its own merch lines, writing camps in Asia, documentaries, sold-out tours in North America, own stages at the world's biggest festivals. 200 releases seem like a big number, and 6 years feel like a very long time, but for us, thanks to what we do and whom we are fortunate to work with, it feels like we are just starting, as our excitement never faded away." – Yellow Claw
As for the sonic journey of "BF200," it begins with "I Want It" from Yellow Claw and Wiwek, who deliver epic hip-hop beats to set the tone of the EP. Next up is Canadian duo Crisis Era's "Funky Pills" for all the old school ravers out there, while DJ Soda and RayRay's "Obsession" serves up a sneaky dose of hard-hitting bass. Yellow Claw themselves reworked the Tokyo Ghetto Pussy's 1995 hit "Kiss Your Lips" for the EP, giving the classic a modern dance facelift. GHOSTER employs Nanami's breathy vocals to deliver a solid mission statement in "Belong," before Danish threesome Nonsens put the pedal to the metal with "Teaze," speeding up proceedings with immense 4/4 energy. Finally, all systems go on Psycho Boys Club's "Break." Did anyone expect Barong Family to ever take it easy?

The Grammy-award singer and producer dubbed as the 'Latin Justin Timberlake' combine EDM, Mambo, and urban Pop elements on "Te Quiero (Remix)".

With hips of hits as a former member of Fantasmas del Caribe, Phantom Boy isn't lagging behind. On the contrary, nowadays he's at the cutting-edge of music especially with outstanding remakes of his classics. Some of his previous collaborations on b-side projects include big names of the Latin music industry like Luis Damon, MDO, Ley Alejandro, George Lamon, Song By Four, Alondra, Karolina Con K, Grupo Aleo, Alex Leon, Grupo Masisso, and many more…
Check This Out! R3HAB's Remix For Jason Derulo + New Single With Olivia Holt

He partnered with Spotify and GATTÜSO to create the first-ever official "mint" single release. In 2016 he founded his label CYB3RPVNK, which has since collected a talented roster of artists like Cityzen, Skytech, Fafaq, and more to serve as a platform for talented up-and-comers. R3HAB himself continues to evolve and diversify his sound by working with a variety of artists around the globe, experimenting with everything from hip-hop to pop through his collaborations. With his combination of innate artistry and innovative attitude, R3HAB is only beginning his journey. Keep an eye out for what's up to next!
