Aaron Siegel is the main distributor of house and techno from Detroit. He's also one of the city's most inspired new producers. Will Lynch catches up with him in his home town.
Siegel still hasn't settled on any one thing. These days he pours his time into three separate operations. There's Fit Distribution, a record distributor that connects shops around the world with Detroit's most respected house and techno labels, from Planet E to FXHE to Underground Resistance. There's his label, Fit Sound, which for the past five years has given us a steady stream of records by Midwest artists like MGUN, Marcellus Pittman and Walt J. Most recently, there's his own music as Fit Siegel, which, if it carries on the way it is now, threatens to eclipse his other pursuits.
There are other bits as well, like the leftfield sublabel Est. 83' Records and the Fit Sound merchandise, which is something of an underground hit (the New Order-referencing T-shirt is an increasingly common sight at techno events). Siegel's projects are the result of some ten years spent following his instincts, diving into things he knew nothing about and figuring them out on the fly. He's always worked completely alone, despite sometimes giving the appearance of being a full-blown organization—something his label's slogan, Est. 1983, seems to riff on (he was born in '83).
"I understand that you can get more done with a good team, I just haven't figured out how to do that yet," he said, laughing. "It can be very overwhelming to do everything yourself, it's kinda crazy. But it's how I've always worked."
Siegel has an ultra-mellow demeanour that belies his restless energy. We first met a few days before Movement Festival this past spring—a time he described as "super stressful," though to me he seemed perfectly at ease. Toothpick in mouth, records in the trunk, he cruised through the day's tasks at an easy pace. The main thing was getting copies of Carmine, his latest 12-inch, out to record stores before the techno tourists swooped in. He picked up a fresh batch at Archer Record Pressing, a tiny operation hailed as "Detroit's last vinyl pressing plant. Next stop was his office, which is actually his former apartment, now home to the scraps that make up Fit Sound and Fit Distribution, namely a computer, a phone, a lot of loose paperwork and dozens of cardboard boxes filled with records. He took this opportunity to give me everything on his label I didn't already have—a good eight or nine records—as well as a couple of t-shirts and a Fit Sound knit-hat.
From there we hit some record shops—first Detroit Threads, the beloved vintage and second-hand vinyl spot, and then Submerge, another local favourite. Submerge is more than just a record store. It also houses Exhibit 3000, also known as the Detroit Techno Museum, a private gallery chronicling the city's techno history. In the rooms upstairs are the studios of Underground Resistance, as well as Siegel.
"I'm friends with Mike," he explained, meaning core UR member "Mad" Mike Banks, "and there was a time when I had to move out of my loft, so I asked him if he had any space. He set me up with a studio in here. I ended up living in my studio for about a year."
Siegel is so nonchalant that it's easy to miss the significance of what he's saying: as a novice producer, he landed a studio down the hall from Underground Resistance. "It was cool," he admitted. "When I was first in the building, I'd be going downstairs to get a cup of tea, then I'm hearing Model 500 rehearsing 'Clear,' Juan and Mike and everybody. I'm lingering in the stairwell listening, like, 'Fuck!'"
When I met Banks that afternoon, he described Exhibit 3000 as a way of protecting the true history of Detroit techno. This museum was part of an effort to keep the record straight as to where this music came from. By way of explanation, he pointed to a photo in a display case on the wall. It showed a young Jeff Mills playing for a crowd of baby-faced white males, all of them craning their necks to see what his hands were doing. "Munich, 1991" read a message hand-written in magic marker. "Jeff Mills schooling mugs in Germany."
"When I saw that shit I knew the writing was on the wall," Banks said.
Banks and many other Detroit techno artists are notoriously cagey. So what exactly did they see in this young white guy angling to become a techno artist? Siegel shrugged. "He's a dude that everyone wants something from, you know? If you know your history you can understand why some people are protective and secretive. But if you're cool and honest, if you have good intentions, people will be cool and open to you."
That may sound too simple, but Siegel is proof that there's some truth to it. He's been self-employed since the age of 20, when he returned from film school in Boston and decided to start a bike courier service, something he knew almost nothing about. "I'd never done it before, I just liked riding my bike," he said. "I knew some people when I lived in Boston that did it, so I asked some questions, started riding around downtown, going to the courthouses, watching what people did. Made some business cards and figured out some rates. I'd call other courier companies in other states and ask what their prices were. Then I went door-to-door downtown, giving out cards and flyers. Eventually people started calling me and I delivered. Suddenly I was a professional courier. I made it look like a big company—I called it Reach VS Speed—but really it was just me and my phone."
Siegel ran the courier business out of a loft in Corktown where he lived at the time. Business was good, but soon he picked up another gig. "I helped a guy who was doing a club downtown called Oslo. I did construction there, then worked the door."
Siegel had never been much of a rave guy. "I caught the tail end of it," he said, meaning the storied era of Detroit warehouse parties. "I went to one when I was like 16. DJ QBert and Green Velvet were there. I thought it was cool because I liked dark, underground shit, and you're walking on different levels and there are people in catacombs and cruising around looking down, boys and girls going in the same bathroom. I was like, 'This is cool.' But there were definitely corny elements of it, too. I was more into skateboarding back then."
The job at Oslo teased out Siegel's creative side. He'd been fooling around with experimental electronic production since high school, and all that club music whet his appetite. He was about 21 by then, getting more and more into records. "My rent was $150," he said, and I was making a ton of money working at this club and doing the bike courier stuff, so I started acquiring equipment and building a studio with that money. And buying records."
Soon Siegel was throwing parties. Some of them were called Members Klub, others had no name at all. "I wasn't into building a brand or anything, no one really knew who I was," he said. "I was just playing around because I had some extra money and it seemed like fun." His first guests were artists he'd met working at Oslo: Legowelt, DMX Krew, DJ Godfather. "I had Egyptian Lover, that was his first time playing Detroit since 1984. I just hit him up on MySpace, like, 'You want to come play in Detroit?' And he's like, 'Cool.' I booked him with DJ Stingray."
Organizing the parties led to a quick dabble in booking. Siegel found himself planning US tours for artists from Europe, the payoff being that they'd play his gig for cheap. Once again, he felt his way through this new trade, asking experienced promoters what they'd pay for a given artist and basing his offer on that.
One of Siegel's guests was Serge, the main force behind the Dutch label and distributor Clone. Serge mentioned to Siegel that it was hard getting records from Detroit in Europe because there wasn't a "main hub" to buy them from. This got Siegel thinking. He was ready for something new. "I'd done the bike courier stuff for five years," he said. "So yeah, I decided to figure the distribution thing out."
Just like the courier service and the Members Klub parties, Siegel had no idea what he was doing when he started Fit Distribution, but he knew people who did. Serge shared some wisdom with him, as did Banks. "Me and Mike would meet late at night at this 24-hour diner and just talk about stuff—politics, philosophy, anything, and a lot of music stuff," he said. "I'd ask him questions, you know: 'What do you do about this? How do you handle this?' Business stuff but also music stuff, mixing, the whole gamut. We'd be there till 6 AM."
Soon Siegel had enough to go on, so he started buying records from labels and selling them to shops. "I'd be like, 'Hey can I buy this? It's for a company called Fit.'" He had to laugh at this. "Like it's a real distribution company! And they'd be like, 'Yeah sure, here's our new release.'"
The name Fit came naturally. "I like that it's two things at once," Siegel explained. "It can be something positive, you know, 'fit' as in 'top shape.' Or it can be negative, like schizo, 'having a fit.' My mood changes a lot, sometimes I feel both ways, so I liked it. Then I found out it was the name of a Honda and got kinda bummed."
Siegel had built up a lot of contacts in Detroit over the years. Some of them were from his Members Klub parties and his days at Oslo, but many were simply people he'd seen around town. "Detroit's a small city," he said. "I'd see Carl Craig and Derrick May at my local bakery having coffee. Pretty much everyone I started buying records from I had met before. Alex,"—that is, Omar-S, "I used to see him at Rick Wilhite's place. That's how I know Kenny [Dixon Jr.], Theo [Parrish], Carl Craig. And eventually I started selling their records. It was very organic."
Once again, Siegel found himself going door-to-door, this time to record stores in Detroit and other American cities. Fit Distribution launched online and Siegel's network swelled considerably. Soon he was selling American records to shops in Europe, and going the other way as well, distributing European labels like Clone, Running Back and the Sex Tags family to storefronts in the US. Fit had become a linchpin of dance music's international vinyl trade.
Business was good enough to quit the courier service, which Siegel passed off to a friend. But soon he felt something lacking. "I can do the business stuff but I'm really more of an artist," he said. Fit Distribution was certainly curated—Siegel only bought and sold records he believed in—but it didn't quite scratch that itch. "There's nothing creative about accounting," he said. "I decided I needed to do my own label."
His first thought was Marcellus Pittman. "I got his number because I really liked the music he'd done, and there wasn't that much of it. That's when I was living at Submerge. He played me some tracks and worked on them in my studio. There were no "Oh my god!" moments, they were just really fluid, and that's kinda my style."
M. Pittman's Erase The Pain set the tone for Fit Sound: dark, raw and, to use Siegel's term, fluid. He followed it with 12-inches from Detroit artists like Anthony "Shake" Shakir, Walt J and MGUN, as well as the Swedish artists Patrick Sjeren and Dungeon Acid. In 2012, he released an EP with the Chicago veteran Marcus Mixx, with a B-side credited simply to Fit.
That was actually the second track of Siegel's to hit wax—a month earlier, Omar-S had released Enter The Fog, a collaboration with Siegel and Gunnar Wendel (AKA Kassem Mosse), on FXHE. "Alex helped me a lot back then," Siegel said. "He'd be behind the mixing board recording, he showed me a lot about mixdowns." Tonite, Siegel's first solo record, appeared on both FXHE and Fit Sound.
"I had this track and I said, 'What do you think about this?' Alex is like, 'That's sweet but it needs a singer.' Then I found the girl that's singing on it, L'Renee, someone recommended her. I contacted her and played it and recorded the vocals and it kinda evolved. It wasn't my idea to put vocals on it, that's totally Alex and it worked."
By then Siegel's approach to production was becoming more and more personal. As a film student, his work was "mostly textural," and this started to creep into his music as well. "'Tonite' is a song. It's got a melody and a structure. But then there's stuff like 'Seedbed,'" he said, referring to the meandering B2 of his 2014 EP Cocomo. "That's more textural, or even more like a sculpture, rather than a song."
His output since then has been slow, with only a half-dozen or so tracks in the last few years. This is mostly because of his ardent perfectionism, something that's partly the result of handling so many great records as a distributor—if he didn't have something to add to all that, why bother?
It's a standard he holds to other artist's music as well. "I want to hear some timeless shit," he told THUMP in 2013. "I know that every track is not going to end up a classic, but at the very least a producer needs to make their very best attempt at capturing an original idea, emotion or thought from within themselves. Otherwise, what's the point? You can't fool the true listeners and the real dancers."
Much of Siegel's music lives up this ideal, but none so much as "Carmine," a lullaby of an acid track that came out at the beginning of this year. "Most of it came in one night," he said, "then some little bits in another session." True to form, he said it didn't feel like a big deal. "When Mike heard it he was like, 'This one's the shit,' but it didn't feel like a breakthrough or anything." Still, "Carmine" hit a new level of originality and expressiveness for Siegel, and showed that his perfectionism was paying off. Or starting to, at least.
"We're still in the beginning I think," he said. "I'm still just listening and working on my own."

The potential of Festuca rubya and Calamagrostis epigejos for the revegetation of fly ash deposits

Two grass species, Festuca rubra (sown) and Calamagrostis epigejos (naturally recolonised), were studied at two fly ash deposit lagoons, weathered 5 (L1) and 13 years (1,2). Both species were assessed in terms of their invasive ability, photosynthetic efficiency, trace elements accumulation, and damage symptoms, while the characteristics of the habitat were assessed in terms of trace element content, and the pH and EC of the ash. In the ash weathered for 5 and 13 years, B and Mn concentrations fell within the normal range for soils, while there was an As, Mo and Cu excess, and Se and Zn deficit. There was no difference in the photosynthetic efficiency (ns) of the C. epigejos populations at the different-aged ash lagoons, but differences were found between the populations of F. rubra (P<0.001). F. rubra displayed damage symptoms, in the form of leaf tip chlorosis and necrosis, and wilting seedlings - a result of B accumulation in toxic concentrations and a Cu and Mn deficit. After 13 years the sown F. rubra remained over 9.5% of the ash lagoon's area (L2), while over the same period the naturally recolonised C. epigejos had overgrown 87.5% of the area. The greater colonisation and survival potential of C. epigejos is a result of multiple tolerance to the conditions at ash deposits and of the competitive ability of this species to dominate the colonised habitat. Therefore, characteristics of naturally colonised species can be used for modelling future actions of biological restoration of fly ash deposits aimed at binding the ash with minimal investment (the short-term aim), and for providing conditions for revegetation, and shortening the successive phases in the revegetation of ash deposits after the closure of thermal plants (the long-term aim).

Age of Teras: Monster Evolution
by KillerHemboy
"A Tera is not just an evolved beast. Teras might have almost ended humanity's reign over this planet, but they were also the reason that we rose up from the ashes of the cataclysm and fought back against the hordes that sought to vanquish us. Whether you're someone who chooses to depend on your own power or one of those who trusts nothing but the overwhelming power of their weapons, you cannot deny this fact."
In the year 2020, a catastrophic event caused an upheaval of the earth's crust which resulted in the end of the industrial age.
A new age was born, where all the species on Earth, including humans, evolved in order to survive.
200 years later, an 18-year-old teenager who had survived for 8 years in a forest with the help of a trusty Siberian husky walked out to find that humanity had integrated itself with these wondrous, exotic yet deadly evolved beasts which came to be called as Teras.
Also, there seemed to exist a "Path to the Stars", where anyone could grow in power in any method of their choosing by defeating a list of increasingly stronger individuals in combat, who would each bestow them with the materials and knowledge needed to get to the next level.
With only a single clue in hand that might lead him to find just who he was, this man began his journey.

|Production of 1-butanol and butanol isomers by metabolically engineered Clostridium beijerinckii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Clostridium beijerinckii

Metabolic engineering
|The overall goal of my thesis research is to produce four-carbon alcohols such as 1-butanol and 2,3-butanediol, and isobutanol as advanced biofuels and chemicals from microorganisms through metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology approaches. Biobutanol is an attractive renewable biofuel and intermediate chemical that has been produced from the ABE (acetone-butanol-ethanol) fermentation by solventogenic clostridia such as Clostridium beijerinckii. Although the ABE fermentation is considered as a promising process for butanol production, current drawbacks in the ABE fermentation include low titer, yield, and productivity of solvent production that needs to be improved to achieve an economically viable process. Therefore, the first goal of my thesis study was to improve the ABE fermentation by C. beijerinckii for production of butanol and its derivatives. This first objective involved four approaches. First, optimization of ABE fermentation condition was conducted to maximize butanol production in a small-scale standard platform. Second, product diversification in the ABE fermentation producing butyl esters was carried out through simultaneous ABE fermentation, condensation, and extraction to compensate the low yield of butanol. Third, oxygen-independent fluorescence reporter protein (FbFP) was employed for evaluating protein expression in C. beijerinckii under strict anaerobic conditions. With the FbFP reporter, screening of mutant, analysis of cell population, and metabolic engineering of C. beijerinckii were achieved. Lastly, evolutionary engineering of C. beijerinckii was performed to increase cell growth on lignocellulosic hydrolysate which is a potential feedstock for industrial butanol production. The second goal of my thesis study was to produce butanol isomers including 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) and isobutanol by industrial yeast S. cerevisiae strain. For this purpose, evolutionary engineering and metabolic engineering of pyruvate decarboxylase (Pdc)-negative S. cerevisiae were performed to increase the production of butanol isomers by eliminating ethanol production. The metabolically engineered Pdc-negative S. cerevisiae containing heterologous 2,3-BD biosynthetic pathway successfully produced 2,3-BD at high titer, yield and productivity without ethanol production. Isobutanol production was also significantly increased through identification of metabolic limitations and optimization of metabolic pathways in the recombinant Pdc-negative S. cerevisiae harboring a cytosolic isobutanol biosynthetic pathway. Overall, this study has broad implications for the sustainable biological production of higher-chain alcohols as advanced biofuels and chemicals which can replace the use of fossil fuel and petroleum. Moreover, findings and tools obtained in this study can be applied to synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of other solventogenic clostridia and yeast strains toward increased production of value-added bioproducts.

That one's not a joke.
A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost.(snip)"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
Amazon really are useless. I ordered four Kindles and they sent me a Two Ronnies dvd.

This add-on replaces the Guardian and Elder Guardian with two new vicious sharks. The two new mobs include Jaws and Megalodon and together they will make the ocean much more scary! From here on, it is a very good idea to stay out of the ocean, or at least armed to the teeth in case you decide to go for a swim or for a boat ride.
Creator: Jujustyle7, Twitter Account
Updated: 11 September, 2018 (read changelog)
Where do they spawn?
They can be found spawning around ocean monuments.
Jaws has a health of 50 and deals 6 damage. They will spawn around the ocean at a spawn rate of 25-50%. It can attack dolphins, turtles, squids, and even players. Jaws drop alot of raw beef and a lot of bones.
- Replaces Guardian
- Health: 50 hearts
- Attack damage: 6
Megalodon, king of the ocean. It has a health of 200 and deals 16 damage. They will spawn around the ocean at a spawn rate of 5-%. It can attack dolphins, jaws, turtles, squids and players. It can drop allot of raw meat, bone, and drops rare loots, which is golds and diamonds. This is one of the biggest sharks in the world 3-5 times larger then normal sharks.
- Replaces Elder Guardian
- Health: 75 hearts
- Attack damage: 20
Be careful when out fishing because you never know what might come and surprise you.
Note: For Dolphins, if they see Jaws or Megalodon, they will swim away from them as possible!!
It's hilarious! A must-watch for sure!

- Residential Treatment
Residential treatment programs provide housing (food and meals) in addition to treatment for substance abuse. Some facilities offer only short-term residential treatment, some offer only long-term treatment and others offer both, ranging from a few days to many months, based on patient needs.
- Outpatient
Outpatient treatment describes all addiction treatment that is not residential. Patients live at home while undergoing rehab.

2019-20 fire season preparations well under way
FIRE services are preparing for the 2019-20 fire season, but residents are also urged to prepare.
Firefighters and other front line emergency service personnel met in Ballarat on Monday morning for a briefing ahead of the fire season.
After a number of major fires in the past year - at Buninyong, Hepburn, Bunkers Hill and Mount Clear - dozens of representatives from all sectors of emergency management including firefighters, police, paramedics and Forest Fire Management Victoria attended to discuss the overall strategy going into the upcoming fire season.
With the fire danger period expected to be declared around early to mid December, Forest Fire Management Victoria's Grampians Deputy Chief Fire Officer Tony English said the briefing was a way for emergency services to mentally prepare for the season, which is forecast to be "normal".
"Everybody with a key role in emergency management is here. This brings everyone together and provides everybody with the same information so we are all on the same playing field," he said.
"It's all about preparing for the potential of a large or a significant fire in the region."
With continuously dry conditions for consecutive years resulting in above-normal bushfire conditions, fire restrictions have been in place in some parts of Gippsland since September.
Country Fire Authority District 15 Acting Operations Officer Chris Bigham said the conditions in the Ballarat region were vastly different at the moment - the landscape is still lush and green after heavy rainfall throughout winter and so there is moisture in the soil, but this meant there would be exponential growth in grasslands and forests as the weather continues to warm. As growth occurs, the sun will dry it out, meaning it could fuel a fire.
Mr Bigham said this was a normal seasonal cycle but urged residents to prepare as the season advances.
This is another fire season that we are preparing for but there is an equal responsibility on the landholders. They have a responsibility to be prepared as well, as much as we do.Country Fire Authority District 15 Acting Operations Officer Chris Bigham
Residents are urged to have a fire plan in place, ensure long grass is cut and fuel loads are removed from properties and to keep up-to-date with continuously changing conditions in the landscape around them.
For crews, Mr English said preparation for the season meant ensuring crews were physically fit and that all equipment, whether four-wheel drive vehicles, tankers or aircraft, was serviced and ready for the season.
At the briefing, some discussions centred on lessons learned in previous seasons and what could be done to continue to improve safety and efficiency.
Mr English said one of the major lessons from last season was vigilance around crew safety.
"We had a number of incidents with vehicles last season, with vehicle accidents on fire grounds, which is really down to not just training but also people having good supervision and good awareness of the situations people are in. So we will emphasise that again this year - that it's about being safe," he said.
Mr Bigham said with the amount of growth expected, the CFA would continue to focus on "the weight of attack" - deploying appropriate resources early to ensure firefighters have the best opportunity to bring fires under control and prevent them from growing.
Another major focus will be on internal and inter-agency communications to ensure the most efficient emergency response.
Cooperation of aircraft and ground crews has become a critical way to fight fires, with 50 air craft - water bombing aircraft, air supervision and air intelligence-gathering aircraft - available statewide for the 2019-20 season.

Waiting is a fact of life. And managing waitlists are often a big part of doing business. Now when we mention waiting, you may think of your favourite salon or those little buzzer coasters at restaurants. But, plenty of industries have to tackle this problem.
Those annoying buzzers or the old-fashioned clipboard techniques are poor ways to keep track of such a vital part of your business. Fortunately, today's technology has given us a better way to manage the wait.
How You Can Optimize Appointments and Waitlist Management
Create an Appointment Waiting List
If your service business uses a walk-in model, you might be leaving money on the table. But moving to an appointment-only model can also have financial drawbacks. A better solution to this problem is to create an appointment waiting list as it's the best of both worlds.
An appointment waitlist allows you to schedule clients way ahead of time. You can schedule regular visits, planned service appointments, and monthly appointments. Plus, it also allows you to manage walk-in clients, fill slow times or no-show appointments, and reschedule late clients or last-minute drop-ins with ease.
Confirm Appointments with Text Reminders
Many walk-in type businesses have found that setting appointments can actually hurt their bottom line when people don't show up. They may have booked a full day of appointments and staffed their business appropriately only to find that half the clients can't make it.
There's an easy way to eliminate this issue: bring in SMS messaging. Just before their appointment, clients can let you know if they're planning to keep their appointment with a simple text message. If so, they're told that they're next in line. If not, the waitlist is moved forward accordingly.
Let Clients Control How They Wait
You can easily grant clients better ways to manage their time, too. Simply send SMS updates estimating wait time and notify clients when they need to head back. Clients can then do as they please and return once they know they're next in line.
Not sure how this would look? Take Apple's Genius Bar. They do an excellent job of allowing clients to schedule their appointments and then wait wherever or however they like. Since many of their locations are inside shopping malls or busy commercial areas, this means people can shop or run errands as they wait. This leads to happier clients and better customer service ratings across the board. There's also no denying that they've created a loyal following.
Take Advantage of Clients' Captive Attention
In today's data-driven world, your clients are constantly bombarded by marketing messages. So, finding ways to get their attention is harder than ever.
What if you could get your clients to view a page with your chosen messages, voluntarily? All you have to do is send your clients to a marketing page where they can monitor their place in line in real-time. This creates a captive audience that's already interested in your business and its services. You also get to decide what content is displayed on the page beneath the countdown.
This means you could advertise potential upsell products or services. You could also showcase your website, give customers the option to sign up for your email list or encourage them to follow your brand on social media. Have a customer loyalty plan? This is a great place to give them a sign-up link.
These are just a few of the options your small business could try to better your waitlist management. Earn more clients and keep existing customers happy with these strategies guaranteed to better business.

For the last month, I've been testing the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I love it! It's that simple. I really do love it. I'll go through the features that I love the most.
Size & Weight
The Galaxy Note 4 may be a large cell phone at 5.7″, but it fits perfectly in my hand (and I have small hands.) I hate when a phone is so small and I have to type on it. I can't grab it well with both hands to type. Typing on the Note 4 is easy. At only 6.21 oz, it is very light. Easy to carry on you all day.
S Pen
The S Pen isn't new, but it's still awesome. It's not the same as just buying a digital pen to use with your phone. The S Pen has software built into the Note 4 to enhance the features. Just click on the button while near the screen with the pen and a menu will pop up. I love being able to easily grab a portion of the screen, write some notes and save.
You can also write notes on the back of photos with the S Pen. Great for scrapbookers!
The Screen
The screen is beautiful. Very bright & vivid colors, sharp and clear, and when you look at photos or watch video, they look beautiful. That is because the screen is Super AMOLED® and the resolution is 2560 x 1440.

BY now, it is clear that Gary David has played his last game for Meralco after a rant over playing time led to the veteran gunner being suspended for one game - and later relegated to the unrestricted free agent list.
So where is he headed?
A SPIN.ph source bared the former PBA scoring champion is likely headed to Mahindra, which, he said, is the only team that has shown willingness to strike deal for David since the controversy with Meralco erupted.
Despite its pronouncements, Blackwater has made no move to acquire David, a source added.
"It's only a matter of time bago malipat yan," said the source who requested anonymity.
"Willing 'yung management ng Mahindra na makuha si David kasi even before lumabas yung alingasngas (release from Meralco), target na talaga siya ng Mahindra," he added.
[See Waiting game for David as free agent's camp in no rush to strike deal]
Although an unrestricted free agent can sign with any team, there are still several obstacles to David's transfer to Mahindra, primarily the one-year maximum deal he signed with Meralco that won't end until the end of the current season.
The easiest path for David is if he can convince Meralco to buy out his contract, which would allow him to move to Mahindra and sign for a smaller salary which the young ballclub can afford.
However, there are serious doubts if Meralco is willing to do that, especially under the circumstances that soured the relationship between the player and the team.
Without a buyout, Mahindra, sources said, isn't too willing to assume David's maximum deal and may have to negotiate a compromise with Meralco on the terms of the player's transfer.
According to insiders, Meralco is willing to work out a deal for the sake of David but Mahindra management hasn't made any offer worth considering for the Bolts.
Another obstacle to the deal being sealed soon is the fact that Meralco and Mahindra will be meeting on April 3, and the Bolts certainly do not relish the thought of David playing against them in his Mahindra debut.
But if a deal with Mahindra fails to push through, it is highly unlikely that David will play another game in a Meralco uniform, even if the team is mandated to pay his salary the rest of the season.

Just one phone call with Barbara helped me to communicate with my wife after three long weeks of silence. She helped me self-discover my own stage of development, and suddenly the answer was clear.

We were concerned that my stepson was never going to launch. Barbara showed me how to tell that he is on his way and encouraged patience. I now know how to support my stepson, rather than alienate him!

I believe that historically these skirts were pointed to a doublet in the 15th century and likely into the 16th, but when I do so, there are sections that tend to droop becase I am only using a few arming points. I also tried to figure out a way to point the skirt to a belt, but every technique I used resulted in the skirt gathering too much for me to slip it on. The only fool-proof system I could figure out was to pull on the skirt, then buckle a belt over, then letting the top of the skirt drape over the belt, which seemed pretty secure, but could be made even more so by then running a cord along the mail below the belt to tie it in place. Am I on the right track, or just completely over-complicating this? What does everyone else do? Thanks.

My next purchase will be a breast plate. I have considered the same question and I will most likely sew on my maille skirt directly to my gambeson. I have had experiance sewing maille onto my padded leggings and had next to near perfect results. I am not recomending this as historically accurate, I dont know. I just like not having to worry about a belt. The idea you have with the belt does sound good to me.

I then put on the skirt, tie it as tightly as possible, then tie the lacing points on the gambeson to the latigo between links of the skirt. It works fine and never sags below my cuirass. J.E.

I also wonder if historically they ever backed the skirt with fabric? I worry about it scratching up the legs of the harness. James R.Fox Location: Youngstowm,OhioJoined: 29 Feb 2008 Posts: 253 Posted: Tue 21 Apr, 2009 7:43 am Post subject: Sirs-I have seen alot of illustrations of mail skirts, and can't really tell if they were fabrik-backed or not. It seems like such a good idea I would not be suprised if it was done,but humans are funny animals. Look at how long it took the medieval guys to re-invent the crank after it was lost. Untill about 1100. I have seen one illustration fron that time showing the forces of good sharpening weapons with a cranked whetstone, wiles the forces of evil are rubbing theirs on the stones.I think the moral was evil is stupid.

Also, If you were to wear a longer tunic cut, this would not be a problem at all for you. I've seen the skirts backed before, it seems like a common sense idea, but I have not seen one portrayed that is cloth/leather backed. Good luck in your search! J.E.

Buhari stated this on Friday in Uyo at the flag-off of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential campaign in the South-South geo-political zone. According to him, Nigerians will not regret voting for APC candidates in 2019.
He said he had specifically delivered in the area of security, economy and fighting of corruption in line with his promise to Nigerians. The president said although the menace of Boko Haram remained a challenge in some parts of the country, the insecurity posed by the group would eventually be eradicated.
He said that his administration had ensured food security and encouraged Nigerian farmers to achieve food security. Also, that his administration would continue to fight corruption if voted into office for a second term in 2019. "We are arresting corrupt people and prosecuting them and we will not stop. I assure you that we have collected property and collected cash.
He said that APC's campaign was based fundamentally on three fundamental issues of enhancing the economy, ensuring security and fighting corruption. He noted that Boko Haram had no stronghold in any local government area in Nigeria at the moment. Buhari assured Nigerians that Boko Haram would be "a thing of the past'' if Nigerians re-elected him in 2019.

There's No Hatred in Christ
The good news is that all are loved, all are worthy, all are accepted. There is a place at the table for all of us. Christ is not motivated by punishment, he is motivated by love. Richard Rohr tells us that: 'Our proclamation of the lordship of Jesus Christ is at stake in our solidarity with the most vulnerable. If our gospel is not "good news to the poor," it is not the gospel of Jesus Christ' (Luke 4:18).
Finding My Voice
Would people in our families and communities say that we are: inclusive, kind, peaceful, liberating and full of good news? If not then we have a problem.
What is a Cult? by Lisa Hunt-Wotton
Cult leaders will tell you can only be "saved" in their organization alone. No other organization has the truth, all others miss the mark. So it is not the belief system that decides your future, but it the belief system AND your membership with that particular group.
Who is Jesus – Easter Monday
In Jesus we have a God who is safe and a universe that is safe. We have a God who does not blame, does not punish, does not threaten, does not dominate. We have a God who breathes forgiveness. Rohr

A two-day-old girl was found dead in an Indian toilet after being flushed away by her own parents. The body of the tiny tot was discovered by a plumber who had been called to the building in Kerala, India, to unblock a drain on Friday morning – according to NDTV.
According to the horrified servicemen, they were left traumatised after finding the baby girl's tiny head was the cause of the blockage. They scrambled to pull her out of the passageway but they were too late – as she had died several hours earlier.
Dr Abdul Rehman, who runs the doctor's clinic next to his house where the girl was found first noticed the obstruction and called in the plumbers. According to the police, when the plumbers were trying to unblock the toilet, they noticed something which looked like a ball.
As they tried to fish it out, they were shocked to see a tiny head pop up in front of them. Upon further inspection they found the body of the newborn, her placenta still attached, was stuck in the duct. The police suspect that her parents brought the girl to the clinic on pretext of consultation and flushed the baby down the toilet.
However, as the placenta was intact, they speculated the mother could have delivered her inside the washroom before trying to get rid of her. Police are now investigating the incident and are checking the records of all the patients who made a visit to the clinic that day.
Police said the baby may have been flushed down the toilet by a mother who was visiting the clinic for a check-up.'There wasn't much of a foul smell emanating from the toilet. The body hadn't decomposed when we recovered it. 'But the baby's placenta was intact and there was blood inside the commode. Seeing the colour of the blood, the domestic worker mistook it for muddy water,' the police told the News Minute.
'Investigations are underway. We are analysing the records, but we haven't been able to identify her parents yet,' police sources also told NDTV. Meanwhile, the baby's body has been sent to Thrissur medical college for a postmortem examination.

The Overtones are a highly successful five-piece vocal harmony group. Their debut album Good Ol' Fashioned Love entered the UK Albums Chart at number 16 in November 2010 and was later propelled to number 4 after its re-release the following year, selling in excess of 500,000 copies.
As well as top-selling albums, the group has enjoyed a succession of major public performances, including performing in front of 250,000 people at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert and appearing at hugely popular festival shows, such as the Festival Of Remembrance, BT London Live and British Summer Time. Their own shows have been similarly successful.
Their music has also taken them on an international tour covering Europe, the USA, South Africa and beyond, and international fan clubs have been established in such countries as Brazil, Japan and Indonesia.
The Overtones have made a number of television appearances, including This Morning, The Saturday Night Show and Red Or Black? They also appeared as special guest performers on The Xtra Factor (Series 9), Dancing On Ice (in 2011) and also for the third semi-final on the ITV show Britain's Got More Talent (also 2011).
Charity work has always been an important aspect for the group. They performed at the tenth anniversary ball of Operation Smile, the international children's medical charity that works with dedicated medical volunteers to provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities. The Overtones became Smile Ambassadors for the charity and spent eight days assisting medical volunteers at a project in Ruhengeri, Rwanda.

Doctors and aid organizations have complained that poor quality data on the West African Ebola outbreak has made their jobs more difficult. But while it is true that much of the detailed case data they might expect to work with in a western country is unavailable, the affected countries do release some useful data, including information on confirmed cases by administrative district. The reason this data has not been useful for analysis, however, is that the countries in question—Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea—report this data in portable document format (PDF), a format that is not machine-readable. Caitlin Rivers, a PhD student in computational epidemiology at Virginia Tech, has now endeavored to digitize these records by hand, posting the data from Liberia and Sierra Leone on her GitHub account, and promising to post the Guinea data soon. Rivers is also posting a blog series analyzing and visualizing the data and hopes the data will help other researchers do the same.

On Tuesday, Mr Trump pulled America out of the nuclear deal with Iran, giving 90 to 180 days to the companies and foreign governments to wind-down their businesses with Iran.
Iran, however, picked a rather calm tone and gave few weeks to Europe to examine whether it would be possible to keep the deal in place without the U.S. and satisfying "Iranian requirements", as President Rohani puts it.
Europe seems irritated by Mr Trump's decision as if he is scarifying them for his ego. However, if it comes to sanctions, it might not be very clear whether Europe really wants to save its face.
Before the previous round of sanctions on Iran, the EU was the number one exporter to Iran. In 2011, the trade between EU and Iran reached its maximum, 27.8 billion Euro. But this figure between EU and the U.S. stood at 687 billion USD in 2016.
Despite this, Europe may need to protect the nuclear deal for the sake of being an international agreement. Otherwise any other country may feel that she can enter a deal when she wants and leaves it when she feels so.
In any case the situation will become clear in a near future.

We have all had that incident where we drop our phones accidentally and end up breaking the screen which probably costs more to fix despite having a protector.
But that all comes to an end as a new phone case is in town bringing more protection than a M1 Abram's tank on the battlefield.
A German engineering student by the names of Philip Frenzel has developed a mobile airbag which is a specialized case that deploys springy, spider-like legs as it starts to fall to protect the smartphone from damage.
The mobile airbag known as the "ADcase", has legs which are meant to soften the impact of a fall more than an average phone case while making sure all the fragile parts of the smartphone are protected from damage.
The ADcase – "AD" stands for "active damping".
Frenzel's design secured him a 2018 award from the German Society for Mechatronics, as an appreciation for his innovative capabilities.
The German student decided to come up with this brilliant idea to design a better phone case after he himself one day lost his iPhone to fall which left it badly damaged beyond repair. He was driven by this experience to come up with an innovative solution.
While working on his idea, Frenzel decided to experiment with a specialized case fitted with sensors that could detect when a phone was in freefall, and deploy a set of retractable legs bound by metal springs in response.
Frenzel is planning on turning his idea into a business when brings his creation which is now patented to Kickstarter. We are not clear on what the price will be for the ADcase but, the campaign is expected to launch sometime in July.
There's already an official ADcase website, and it suggests that the initial product offering will be limited to more recent iPhone models like the 6 and 6 Plus including the iPhone X.
We hope the new mobile airbag will also come to Android users and other smartphone products along the way.
