How to build a bulwark 'gainst the banksters and their ilk:
. . .
Modern Russia is a normal European country, with a rising
standard of living, now the sixth largest economy in the world, just above Canada and almost the same as Britain.
Putin came into office on New Years 1999-2000 with an
agenda. It was the radical proposition that Russian interests
should be considered equal to American. "Heresy" was
shouted from Harvard, where hippy peaceniks suddenly
were demanding a mass invasion of Russia and China,
preferably at the same time. Cooler heads prevailed. Of
course, they believe that only weak states that no one
knows really anything about should be invaded, because:
a) they won't put up a fight; b) have no nuclear weapons;
and c) their obscurity means that the media can say anything
about them and it will be believed.
So, why are Putin's popularity ratings still at 85-90%,
even after 15 years?
First, 1992. The Yeltsin regime, bossed around by the
United States, abolished the export duty on petroleum
products. In August 1999, Yeltsin appointed Putin prime
minister and Putin's government in September increased
the duty to 7.5 euros per ton, and from Dec. 8, to 15 euros
per ton. Later on, the duty only increased, but still, against
all the "free market" hacks, oil is now exporting at about
50% of its 1995 price.
Two, Russia in terms of retail auto sales is ahead of
Spain, ranking fifth in Europe after Germany, the United
Kingdom, Italy and France. All this is a consequence of the
increase in demand, and therefore income growth. This is
a completely objective factor and it is a consequence of the economic policy pursued by Putin and nothing else. In
Asia, Russian autos are in high demand.
Third, for 10 years as a whole, the budget for social programs
(desperately needed) increased by 30% yearly. Pensions
were below the poverty line by 25% under Yeltsin.
Now, they are more than 50% above this line and are increasing.
Fourth, Putin nationalized Yukos Oil even as Michael
Khodorkovsky tried to sell it to Exxon-Mobil. When
Khodorkovsky was jailed, Russia cheered. Only hanging
him would have made Putin more popular. After that, tax
collection increased massively from all businesses fearful
of ending up like Khodorkovsky. It was nothing short of a
miracle that has never occurred before. Sending a few people
to prison made Putin so popular that the name
"Vladimir" tripled in popularity among newborn boys.
Putin massively increased tax revenue so that even arrears
were covered. Putin proved the "free market" wrong again
and, thus, revived the state. This all had a snowball effect
that no one predicted—except Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
Unfortunately, no one in the United States was listening.
Fifth, in 2004, in a little-discussed move, Putin finally
abolished the law called the "Production Sharing Agreement."
Under this law, Russian deposits of natural resources
were under "international" jurisdiction. That
meant that British Petroleum and Exxon controlled Russian
natural resources de facto. The death threats poured in. Apparently, this only increased Putin's popularity. Suddenly,
a whole bunch of people no one in the world ever
heard of before were being paraded in front of Western TV
screens as "dissidents." Now, we know why. Russian oil
was not benefiting Russians at all, but had been going to
the accounts of foreign banks and oil companies. The
money from oil production was primarily going to the
British-Dutch company Shell. Putin was condemned as
being "against the free market" on these grounds. Putin
stated simply that Russian resources belong to Russia.
Now, that commonsense statement was Putin's death sentence. Unfortunately, carrying it out has been difficult.
After the liquidation of this ill-advised agreement, the
Russian national budget increased by 300-400% almost instantly.
Putin was ostracized by the entire Anglo-Saxon
world, but Germany and France saw a winner and bet on
Putin and Russia. Putin was tagged by Russians as the
leader of the "National Revolution" as his simple agenda
went against the system created by the Americans.
Sixth, he eliminated the influence of the West on most
political processes. In 1992-1995, the Russian state apparatus
was created by foreign advisers.
All legislation in Russia from the
1990s, including tax laws, was written
from foreign grants. In total, 10,000
foreign advisers were working in
Russian ministries and departments,
including all economic centers, both
public and private.
The "sponsorship assistance" of
the Soros Fund created school history
textbooks, in which the battle of Stalingrad
received two pages, yet U.S.
presidents were mentioned far more
than Peter the Great or Nicholas II. Russian students were
given notebooks with portraits of four American presidents
on the last page. It's true. I've seen them.
Seventh, Putin ended the war in the Caucasus, with the
separatists destroyed and all, more or less, of the well known
militant leaders eliminated. Separatism died out
naturally, but only when the Chechen elite felt the power of
Moscow and the benefits of cooperation with a huge and
growing market. Attempts by Western intelligence agencies
to feed anti-Russian hatred led to more specific attacks
on targets, but this is the maximum that can be
expected. The war was and is no more.
Eighth, Putin's economic policy has been designed
against debt bondage. Under Putin, Russia significantly increased
the volume of the economy focused on the elimination
of poverty, raised real incomes, and created
reserves that now allow the country to pass through crises
with minimal losses of the standard of living. Moreover, in
the midst of the 2007 crisis, Russia was able to significantly
increase pensions and other social benefits.
The Russian constitution is written in such a way that
the president does not fundamentally affect everything that
happens in the state. Omnipotent power is nowhere to be
found and, now, impossible. This logic is used against Putin
to criticize him, but does not exist where the economy is
concerned. The work was done by Russians; Putin only
made the fruits of labor more secure. He proved that Russians were
nationalists at heart, and would support any policy
that put their interests first. It was not that hard to do.
So what do we have?
Foreign exchange reserves at the end of February 2011
were at $487 billion in gold—third in the world. This is
4,000% higher than in 1999, when Russian gold reserves
were at $12 billion. Russia today has approximately the
same gold reserves as the European Union.
Public external debt in 1999 stood at $138 billion, or
78% of GDP. By January 2010, it decreased by 3,400% and
now is $40.7 billion, or 2.75% of GDP. Inflation in 1999 hit
36.5%, while inflation in 2010 was 8.8%.
The Foreign Direct Investment total in 2010 was at
$114.7 billion. In comparison, FDI in China's economy in
2010 amounted to $105.7 billion—or
$79 per capita compared to $98 for
every Russian soul.
Average life expectancy for women
has increased by 2.5 years up to
almost 75 years, and has already exceeded
the highest figure in Russian
history, which was 74.3 years in 1990.
The death rate from accidental alcohol
poisoning in 2003 was recorded at
45,045 cases, but dropped in 2010
To 14,381 cases. The birth rate in 2010
was 12.6 children per 1,000 inhabitants—
41% more than in 2000.

Don Nix And Alabama State Troupers - Live In San Francisco 1967 - 2016
from AMG
The Alabama State Troupers was a big-band soul outfit formed by ex-Markey member Don Nix in 1971. Nix cut a solo album, entitled Living by the Days, for Elektra Records in 1971, and put together a touring group consisting of Lonnie Mack -- replaced by Furry Lewis -- Jeannie Greene, and the Mt. Zion Band and Choir. The group embarked on a national tour that took them across the South and West to California, initially to promote Nix's album, but the shows soon took on a life of their own, especially with Lewis -- a veteran bluesman with more than 40 years in the business.
Live in San Francisco is a bootleg real one recorded in october 1971 at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

MSU President John Engler released a statement Wednesday morning stating that he is pleased to restart mediation with Nassar survivors.
"Michigan State University is pleased that mediation will restart. The university remains committed to reaching a fair settlement with all the survivors. Former Federal Judge Layn Phillips will be a strong, independent mediator, and we have confidence he will work hard to bring the parties to a resolution.
"I came to MSU with the intention of concluding the lawsuits as soon as possible in a fair and just manner. The survivors should not have to endure years of litigation. The postponement of plaintiffs' litigation responses until May 10 gives both parties time to enter into mediation and work toward an equitable settlement."
This is a breaking news story. FOX 47 is working to get more details on this story, and will update the story as more information becomes available.

text: The Finnish word huutaa means anything man can do with a loud voice: scream, shriek, screech, cry, howl, roar with laughter… And this is the word that gives rise to the Mieskuoro Huutajat, (the screaming men), a unique mail choir from Finland. Dressed in black suits, white shirts, and rubber tie, its members perform the repertoire by shouting and screaming. It was 15 years ago when the idea of creating this group came up in a bar table. Since then, all sorts of texts are adapted into screaming material: law texts, poems, operating instructions, children's songs or the anthems of the countries they visit. Led by the conductor Petri Sirviö, the choir has become an international phenomenon, receiving the same reaction everywhere: the audience has been bewildered. This documentary offers us the opportunity to accompany this group during its travels to France, Island and even Tokyo.

My Walkout Song - Erik Sandin of NOFX
Fightland Blog
The walkout song is a time-honored tradition in MMA. It's also a delicate balancing act. The perfect song has to pump a fighter up while settling his/her nerves, appeal to the crowd without appearing to pander. "My Walkout Song" is where we ask MMA fans who also happen to be famous musicians what makes for great pre-fight music and what song they would choose to accompany their walk to the cage.
Erik sandin
The band cosmology breaks down thusly:
1] you can be an out-of-shape guitarist
2] or an out-of-shape bassist but
3] you can only be an out-of-shape singer if you play sad boy music or you play half or totally naked making it a quasi-ironic statement regarding fatness and irony or something and
4] you can only be an out-shape-drummer if your band is completely OK with sucking.
That's it. Specifically: that's the g-ddamned law.
So it's no surprise at all that Erik Sandin, drummer for NOFX has managed to be the drummer for NOFX, the group he founded and has drummed for since 1983, absent a few years off, without being in some kind of shape for both drumming and drumming a lot: 12 albums, a bunch of EPs, singles, over 6 million records sold, and the approximate number of shows you need to have played to move those kinds of numbers.
Not so bad for a 48 year old. Who's trained Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ). And boxed. And, actually, in fact, owns a boxing gym. Where MMA significant Emmanuel Newton trains.
Fightland: You know for a long time being into punk rock and any kind of sporting thing marked you as a "jock" and sort of below serious consideration. At least in Northern California. But you boxed?
Erik Sandin: Well, a friend got me into it. Actually Doug MacKinnon. He used to drum for The Vandals. And then later for Madball. He had been an undefeated pro boxer and some kind of national champ and he was teaching people.
And you were one of the people he was teaching. How tall are you?
How much do you weigh?
Anywhere between 190 and 200 pounds.
We're in the same bracket then. I mean I weigh 210 now. I see a challenge looming. And you train jiu jitsu?
[laughs] Yeah. I'd been at Gracie Barra for a long while and then moved over to the Mendes brothers, where it felt like I was starting over again. They're very technical. But, yeah, the UFC stuff put this all on the map for me in a way that wove together all of the pieces: with beautiful technique. They say it so much that you forget how true it is but it's really a chess match and it piqued my interest.
A big jump from being interested to actually opening your own place though…
Well, MacKinnon was in Miami and I always used to say to him that whenever he wanted to open up his own place he should call me and one day he did and asked "does that offer still stand?"
So we opened up Long Beach United Boxing Club over on Retro Row in Long Beach. We really wanted it to be like a 1950s boxing gym, same vibe. Like Gleasons. Even down to the music we play: Bill Withers, James Brown, punk rock, old school. It doesn't need to be super modern. But we have about 250 members, 70 kids. Emmanuel Newton trains here. He's into punk rock too.
OK: your MMA Walkout song. What's it going to be?
Tip Top Through the Tulipsby Tiny Tim. I discovered that if I take it too seriously that I tighten up when I fight. But if I am silly, then I relax. And those tough guys with tough songs? Those guys lose.
Hey. I used to like Tiny Tim even though I don't remember but that one song. Well, thanks.
Thank you, man.
[30 minutes later a text comes in]
Changed my song. Is it too late to change? The Stooges, I Got A Right. I feel like this is the very first punk rock song and punk has defined my life.

Features of DJI Inspire Drone
The following are the features that make DJI Inspire the most wanted drone ever:
Cutting Edge Design: The best thing about the DJI Inspire is its cutting edge design. The propellers and landing gears don't interrupt the videos and images that you take with this gadget. You don't need to crop the images for the perfect shot. The camera mount is attached towards the front side of the drone, so that you get the perfect shot.
All-In-One Aerial Film Making: This is a one stop shop for capturing professional quality images and videos. If you are a professional in need of the greatest quality media content, this is perfect for you. So think no more and go ahead with the DJI Inspire.
Ready To Go Off the Ground: This drone is almost completely assembled. You need to attach some of the props, and make some adjustments and your drone is ready to fly.
Lightweight: With so much on board, you might think the DJI Inspire would be quite heavy. But that's not at all true. Most of the parts are made up of high quality carbon fiber and that's the reason why this drone weighs so less.
Flight Time: The flight time is average which means the drone flies for about 18 to 20 minutes before you need to change the batteries. This is lesser than that of a Phantom, but that's because the DJI Inspire drone is much bigger and has more components.
Optical Flow Stabilization: The advanced sensors are the most attractive features of this drone. One is an ultrasonic and the other an optical flow sensor. The sensors can be used to stabilize the gadget indoors. This helps in better control of the drone and doesn't allow it to fly away uncontrollably.
Advanced C1 Controllers: Though the controllers may look similar to the Phantom's but this one has better features. Dual antennas, buttons for capturing images and videos, transform button, etc. make it the most desirable drone ever.
360 Degree Rotating Gimbal: The camera gimbal can rotate 360 degrees, which means two people can control the DJI Inspire drone together. One can control the flight whereas the other one can control the camera. The quick release allows you to attach other accessories in future.
These are some of the basic features that make the DJI Inspire drone the coolest gadget you have ever owned. Other features include ability to shoot high quality videos. So if you have been thinking about buying a drone that will allow you to take superior quality images and videos, think no more and invest in a DJI Inspire drone.

Tim Pit is a freelance writer with years of experience in writing on various technological topics. His recent write up talks about how the new DJI Inspire drone can give you an excellent experience while shooting videos and images.

|North Fork Bogachiel River, Calawah River
The Bogachiel River is a river of the Olympic Peninsula in the U.S. state of Washington. It originates near Bogachiel Peak, flows west through the mountains of Olympic National Park. After emerging from the park it joins the Sol Duc River, forming the Quillayute River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean near La Push, Washington.
The Quillayute River system, with its main tributaries of the Bogachiel, Sol Duc, Calawah, and Dickey Rivers, drains the largest watershed on the north Olympic Peninsula.
The name "Bogachiel" is a corruption of the Quileute words bo qwa tcheel el, or /boqʷač'íʔl/, from /bó:q'ʷa/, "muddy", and /číʔlowa/, "water", meaning "gets riley [turbid] after a rain", "muddy waters", or, less likely, "big river".[2][5]
The Bogachiel River begins in several headwater streams near Bogachiel Peak in the Olympic Wilderness of Olympic National Park, in the northwest part of the Olympic Peninsula. Flowing west through a deep valley just north of the Hoh River valley, it gathers various mountain streams, including one of its main tributaries, the North Fork Bogachiel River.
Below the North Fork confluence, the Bogachiel River flows along the boundary between Clallam County and Jefferson County, crossing and recrossing the line many times. After gathering many more tributary streams, such as Tunwata Creek and Hades Creek, it leaves Olympic National Park. Skirting the edge of the Olympic National Forest, the river turns northwest, passing through Bogachiel State Park. U.S. Highway 101 follows the river for several miles. Just west of the city of Forks the Calawah River joins the Bogachiel. Forks is situated between the two rivers and takes its name from the forking streams.[6]
Below the Calawah confluence the Bogachiel River widens considerably and takes a meandering course westward through a broad valley. The Sol Duc River enters this valley from the north, and the two streams meander alongside one another for several miles before joining. The Quillayute River, formed by the confluence, flows west for only about six miles more before reaching the Pacific Ocean at La Push. In its lower reach the Quillayute River enters the coastal wilderness of Olympic National Park. The mouth of the Quillayute is contained within the Quileute Indian Reservation.[7]
Natural history[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2009)
The upper Bogachiel River valley contains temperate rain forests, similar to the Hoh Rain Forest of the Hoh River valley.
A large portion of the Bogachiel River is in the wilderness of Olympic National Park. The Bogachiel Trail, beginning a few miles outside the park, follows the Bogachiel River to the North Fork Bogachiel, then follows that river valley up into the high mountains, connecting to other trails that lead north to the Sol Duc River valley and south to the Hoh River valley.
The Bogachiel River, along with the Quillayute's other tributaries, are popular for fishing. The rivers hosts healthy stocks of wild winter steelhead (the anadromous form of coastal rainbow trout) with as many as 19,000 fish returning in some years and up to 50,000 hatchery raised steelhead. The river also supports large runs of Chinook and coho salmon and holds resident populations of coastal cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden.
Unlike many other large rivers of the Olympic Peninsula, the headwaters of the Bogachiel and the other Quillayute tributaries are not glacier-fed. As a result, they do not experience a spring and summer flood pulse with heavy sediment loads. This gives the Bogachiel River a longer fishing season.[8]

Cedric The Bull is a character from the Knights' Kingdom line that was released in 2000.
Cedric wears a black helmet identical to the ones first seen and worn by the Dragon Masters minifigs with a set of horns attached to the top and has long, unkempt, black hair sticking out from under it. His eyebrows are black and bushy with an angry expression. Like his companions Gilbert and Weezil Cedric's eyes are grey rather than the usual black color. He has a bushy black mustache. Cedric's torso is black with his bull emblem in the middle and the top part of it having what appears to part of a red cape with a yellow broach. His arms are grey and his hands are red. His waist part has a belt similar to the one Richard the Strong wears but in red printed on it. His legs are black.
This evil leader is obsessed with the thought of taking over the castle, seizing the power, and banishing King Leo and his family from the land. Night and day, Cedric spends his time planning attacks. Cedric has two different backstories in different sources: According to a US Lego Mania Magazine it says that Cedric used to be one of King Leo's best knights but Cedric turned on Leo and now he wants to rule the kingdom for himself. However according to the game manual for 5723 LEGO Creator Knights' Kingdom, the Lego Knights Kingdom Minifigure Handbook, and a storybook called Medieval Mischief and Mayhem it instead says that Cedric is the 13th prince of an unknown king from a far distant unknown land. When the king died he left his country to be divided up between his sons to rule however only 12 of the sons got a share of land to rule and there was no land left by the time it was Cedric's turn to receive his share. The exact details of what happened after this are not fully explained but it can be assumed that Cedric was furious about this so he either left on his own accord or was banished for unknown reasons and became a rogue. During sometime in either of these backstories he found an orphaned Weezil alone and abandoned, Cedric took pity on the boy taking him in and raising him as his own son.
Cedric is the leader of the Bulls, a group of rogue knights who form their headquarters in the forest surrounding Leo's castle. Cedric's most trusted minions include Weezil, his adopted son who's also an expert on traps and trailblazing and Gilbert The Bad, a siege engineer. In the storybook, Cedric is joined by a former Lion guard, Boris, who had been banished after attempting to steal Leo's crown.
Cedric appeared in many games while the Knight's Kingdom line was active, including LEGO Creator Knights' Kingdom and LEGO Island 2 as well as being seen in LEGO Print Workshop and 5784 Soccer Mania
In Creator Knights Kingdom, he plays the main antagonist, and the player's task usually involves stopping Cedric from plotting and the like.
In LEGO Island 2, he returns as the leader of the Bulls; though on the Castle Island stage, the Bulls and Lions are portrayed more as perpetually fighting for the fun of it than due to any lasting animosity. Cedric, however, owns a castle and is the villain of the island. Cedric is seen as a minion of The Brickster as well as an ambitious and evil warlord. The player, as Pepper Roni, ends up fighting Cedric in the sub-game "Raging Bull" and in the end Cedric is defeated.
In Soccer Mania, Cedric and the Bulls appear as a playable team under the name Cedric's Knights with him as the goalie; in the story mode when chasing after The Brickster Cedric won't let the player through a magic portal which leads to the Arctic world unless the player's team beats his team after the player beats his team Cedric keeps his promise and allows the player through the portal; Cedric then later on reappears in the final match of the story mode as now part of The Brickster's Intergalactic team. Cedric also owns a Castle themed pitch called "Cedric's Castle" which despite the name isn't actually a castle like the one seen in Lego Island 2 and is more of a fort or camp deep in the forest.
- Cedric is mentioned in the Evil Knight's bio as one of the villains that the Evil Knight once worked for over the years.
- In one of the cutscenes for Creator Knights' Kingdom he is shown being able to lift a portcullis all on his own, this implies he's stronger then he looks and is possibly one of the reasons he gave himself the title of "The Bull"
- In Lego Island 2 he was originally planned to make a comeback along with Mr Hates during the Asteroids Belt game in an enemy ship shooting lasers and in Brickster's Palace as an obstacle or possibly a boss while the player is ascending up the tower. Due to the game being severly rushed this was scrapped however unused voice clips for him meant for these areas can still be found in the game's files
- Despite having what appears to be the broach and part of a cape on his torso he was never released with a cape.

In my earlier post "Doubling the tessellation of hexagons and triangles" I found a tiling with a rather high density of stars of twelve rhombs. I called it the L2-tiling.
To see if the L2-tiling is self-similar I let the computer draw a large piece of it. Then it searched for all stars of twelve rhombs and found their centers. They in turn gave the corner points of a new tiling:
This tiling seems to be the Stampfli tiling. Thus the L2-tiling is not self-similar and it is somehow related to the Stampfli tiling.
Is self-similarity important ? Well, there are many quasiperiodic tilings that are not self-similar. These do have not fractal character. They cannot be made with iterative methods because the iterative method always makes self-similar structures. Still these tilings are interesting. And studying the self-similarity may result in a new tiling if there is in fact no self-similarity.

When I took over the Headbang blog at MSN Music in August 2011, I was thinking of ways I could set it apart from the rest of the metal blogs out there. Everyone seems to only list the new releases every week, so why don't I review as many as I can? It seemed easy enough, that is until you get to the 16th album and hearing another band of 20 year-olds playing arbitrarily arranged deathcore sends you off the deep end.
Along the way, though, this project became somewhat of A Thing, and I'd always hear back from people who were glad there was someone out there succinctly sorting through the dreck rather than giving token 7/10 scores to mediocre albums. When MSN laid off its entire entertainment freelance staff recently, the opportunity arose to take this ongoing project to the Deciblog, which I'm more than glad to do.
Something happens when you go through this much new music per week: the desire for great music increases – though that amounts to less than five percent of everything that comes out, if that – and middling music becomes completely unacceptable, which is how it should be. Of course, these reviews are from my perspective only, and in no way diminish the well-written reviews seen each month in Decibel magazine. So I hope you'll drop by every Wednesday morning as I subject myself to auditory torture, and hopefully I can help make your record buying decisions a little easier, and help your wallet shed some excess weight.
Normally this space would be reserved for an "album of the week", but last week was so unusually loaded with excellent releases – In Solitude, Atlantean Kodex, Fates Warning, Argus, Horisont, Within Temptation – that you still should be checking out any of those you might have missed seven days ago. In the meantime, though, here's what this week has to offer:
Beaten To Death, Dødsfest! (Mas-Kina): The juxtaposition of wonky, clean guitar melodies with a grindcore rhythm section had me. It's crazy enough to work. But then the burping vocal grunts kicked in, and lost me for good. What a waste.
Chron Goblin, Life For the Living (self-released): If you were left deflated after hearing the new Vista Chino album, then this is the record for you. Straight-up stoner/desert rock in the tradition of Kyuss, it's plenty groovy, loaded with swaggering bluesy riffs, and featuring lead vocals that aren't afraid to show a little flamboyance. Highly recommended. Stream and purchase it via Bandcamp.
Earthless, From The Ages (Tee Pee): Instrumental metal is an extremely difficult subgenre to master, with few bands able to take "expression" as far as they can without slipping into boring self-indulgence. San Diego trio Earthless has always been one of the better ones, but they've outdone themselves on their third full-length, on which guitarist Isaiah Mitchell lets loose solo after effects-laden solo atop extended groovy jams by bassist Mike Eginton and drummer Mario Rubalcaba. While an even better instrumental album comes out next week (here's a hint), guitar nerds should put away their Periphery albums and check this out. It's a must-hear.
Herrschaft, Les 12 Vertiges (Code 666): Yet another band that bills itself as "experimental" and "cutting edge" but sounds like it came straight from 1995. Real experimental metal has a lot more breadth than simply aping Ministry and Atari Teenage Riot.
Kevin Hufnagel, Ashland (Nightfloat): Here's something completely different. The guitarist for Dysrhythmia, Gorguts, and Vaura has released a solo album of baritone ukulele compositions of all things, and while it's not exactly under the metal umbrella it's nevertheless something that should interest those who admire his more "extreme" music. By manipulating the seemingly limiting instrument in various ways he actually creates something original, and even darkly surreal. Stream and purchase it via Bandcamp.
Korn, The Paradigm Shift (Prospect Park): It used to be so easy to lampoon Korn. After all, few bands have fallen so swiftly from "innovator" status to hilarious self-parody, their releases in the 2000s becoming sorrier and sorrier exercises. In the last couple years, though, the band has shown signs of something resembling a creative rebirth of sorts. 2011's The Path of Totality married two patently obnoxious sounds – dubstep and nu-metal – falling right into Korn's wheelhouse – that's right, I kind of liked it – and their latest album, while not as adventurous, nevertheless continues that trend. While milking the same formula Korn's been doing for 20 years, it actually has a decent, brace yourself, pop sensibility to it. It's long past sounding cutting edge, but it's nearly competent, and those who still think Follow the Leader is the greatest album ever will be happy with this one. Everyone else can keep listening to the new Earthless.
Mörkö, Itsensänimeävä (AAP): Oranssi Pazuzu is the one Finnish band that's been getting the bulk of advance press, and for good reason, but if you're looking for even freakier black metal, then this Lahti trio is well worth checking out. Oddly minimalist and atonal – it's impossible not to hear Slint in the weird arrangements – it's difficult music, and often accompanied by surreal Finnish narration, but it's by no means impenetrable.
Running Wild, Resilient (SPV): While metal fans should be thankful to Rock 'n' Rolf Kasparek for such swashbucklingly fun albums as 1987's Under Jolly Roger and 1988's Port Royal, last year's Shadowmaker was so awful, so past its best-before date that it made you embarrassed for the guy. Needless to say I was not looking forward to listening to Running Wild's 15th album, but much to my great surprise they've come through with a likeable record. Nothing has changed at all in the band's approach of course – simple, upbeat Teutonic heavy metal – but there's a sense of passion that was sorely missing from the previous album. It's goofy as hell, but if you can sit through the title track without cringing, then you'll get a mild kick out of the rest of it.
Secrets Of The Sky, To Sail Black Waters (Kolony): I know these Oakland prog/doomers will say the contrast between clean and harsh vocals works, but Garett Gazay's singing is so strong on this album that whenever he goes back to growling it feels like a regression. When that happens, it feels like the band is either not yet able to or too lazy to come up with twice as many compelling vocal melodies. Judging by the talent on display here, I'd go with the latter. Still, the arrangements are superb at times – "Decline" and "Black Waters" do the Opeth meets Isis thing very well – and this is a promising debut by a band that you figure will only get better.
Spiralarms, Freedom (SPV): In which Craig Locicero and his friends churn out sporadically pleasant but mostly unspectacular heavy rock in the vein of Kyuss and Stone Temple Pilots. Sure, there's a faithful cover of Sabbath's "Tomorrow's Dream", but then the title track kicks in, sounding like Buckcherry trying to sound like Lynyrd Skynyrd, and you just want the misery to end. Man, do I miss Forbidden.
Strangelight, 9 Days (Sacrament): Featuring members of Made Out of Babies, Red Sparowes, and Goes Cube, this six-song EP by the Brooklyn band channels their inner AmRep fan, but the worship isn't overbearing. Instead, they bring in a melodic aspect that goes well with the grinding skronk, making for a surprisingly accessible noise record.
Ulver, Messe I.X-VI.X (Kscope): Two years removed from a startlingly straight-faced collectionof '60s psychedelic covers, Kristoffer Rygg and company pull the rug out from under their audience yet again, this time returning to the ambient, minimal sounds of 2007's Shadows of the Sun. Only this album, commissioned by the Tromsø House of Culture and recorded with the Tromsø Chamber Orchestra, heads in a more neoclassical direction, toying with harmonies and cut-and paste experimentation. Baffling and oddly beautiful, it nevertheless ultimately falls short of Ulver's creative high water mark, 2005's Blood Inside.
The Vision Bleak, Witching Hour (Prophecy): At first the latest by the German band is more of the same, "Hey, look! We're goth!" music that tries so hard to sound dark and evil that it overshoots its target and flies right into parody territory. When "Cannibal Witch" and the speed metal-ish "Hexenmeister" kick in you realize that at times they come closer to getting it right than initially thought, but that doesn't make the rest of this comically blunt album any better.
Not Metal, But You Need This:
Teeth of the Sea, Master (Rocket Recordings): This was one of those random discoveries at Roadburn that I love. I'd learned of Teeth of the Sea only because they're on the same UK label as Goat, and on the way from one festival venue to another, I walked in on this duo, who were creating a cool, intense combination of electronic, krautrock, and extreme music, and I stood there spellbound. Well, their second album is out this week, and it's incredible how it refuses to limit itself to one particular genre. You hear Van Der Graaf Generator one minute, Giorgio Moroder the next, the searing intensity of Suicide a minute later, and even a touch of doom here and there. It's "progressive", it's "extreme", it has "indie cachet" all at once, yet feels far from scattershot, the foursome showing tremendous discipline in their songwriting. Master is, regardless of genre, one of the best, most inventive albums of the year,and this is one that can very much appeal to fans of heavy music. Stream and purchase it via Bandcamp.

The question is asked at least a couple times a week by email (and in our queertheology.com webinar last week it was asked in different ways by about 10% of the participants): How do I talk to people who won't listen?

Whether it's LGTBQIA+ issues, different interpretations of the Bible, or even politics, people are struggling to figure out how to talk to people who believe differently than they do. I know what they are asking: give me a roadmap. Tell me the arguments to make. Share with me your powerpoint for changing people's minds. Show me how to do this.
On the surface it seems like people are asking with detachment about how to argue better, but underneath? Underneath I can feel the desperation. It's deeper than arguments; people are trying to figure out how to bridge the gap between such different world views, because those world views are causing harm.
Here's what people are really asking:
How do I talk to my dad about the rightness of my relationship when he believes that it's a sin to be gay? How do I convince my wife to accept my need to transition? How do I help my grandmother understand that the way she votes has a direct bearing on my ability to get healthcare or protect my family? How do I get my pastor to understand that when he preaches against gay people and trans people from the pulpit using really dehumanizing language that he is wounding my soul?
This isn't about trying to convince people to agree with you, it's about trying to get them to stop hurting you.
The thing is, I don't have much of an answer. I haven't seen arguments work. I haven't seen people be convinced because I was finally able to lay out a coherent framework using Scripture (because I can). I haven't seen people be convinced because I made my points with facts and figures and specific data (because I can). When someone enters into a conversation unwilling to be changed, they are not entering in in good faith. When someone's mind is so closed, facts and truth won't change it.

That's depressing to hear isn't it? Because then what do we do? How do we change things?
There's an article that's been going around titled "I cannot convince you to care about other people.†And I think there's a lot of truth in that title. I can't make my family use the right pronouns. I can't force someone to change their beliefs. I can't make them care about transgender or queer people. I can't change someone's mind for them.
But what I can do is continually live my truth out loud. I can keep talking about how policies and theologies and actions harm me and my community. I can continue to ask for respect around pronouns and partners and identity. I can continue to set boundaries about what I will and will not talk about, about the places I will and will not go, about the situations I will and will not put myself in.
Do I have hope that chance will come? I do.
But in the meantime? I'm going to protect my heart and my body and my soul. I'm going to refuse to spend significant time around people who won't use the correct pronouns. I'm going to leave churches that preach toxic theology. I'm going to keep my distance from people who vote for individuals that are trying to kill people like me.
I might not be able to change someone's mind but that doesn't mean I have to allow them to be hateful and harmful to me. I don't have to take harmful words or toxic theologies. And I don't have to argue for my own dignity and humanity to someone who refuses to see it.

Isaac Shrem, an associate at Westbridge Realty Group, focuses on investment sales in the metropolitan New York area with particular expertise in the disposition of multi-family and mixed-use assets.
Shrem, who joined the team in July of 2015, quickly showcased his abilities by successfully brokering several transactions including a 28-unit mixed-use building in the Bronx; a 20-unit building in Brooklyn, and various others.
In 2017 he sold $8 million worth of deals that included the sale of 1125 Findlay Avenue, which started a new trend for sales in the Bronx. This deal traded strictly on a cap rate, unlike any other Bronx properties at the time.
Shrem's passion for the real estate market started at an early age when he was exposed to his family's substantial involvement in the investment of shopping centers and retail strips across the U.S. Isaac has successfully leveraged that passion into becoming a consistent dealmaker for Westbridge's clients.
He graduated with honors from Yeshiva University's Sy Syms School of Business with a B.S. in business management and marketing.
Active in his community, Shrem supports and strongly advocates for the Sephardic Food Fund in Brooklyn that discreetly identifies needy members of the community and provides them with special credit cards that enable them to shop at all supermarkets, butchers, and bakers.
How long have you been in the business?
Almost three years. I came to Westbridge Realty Group in June 2015 and have been here ever since.
What made you decide to get into real estate?
The lucrativeness and excitement. I'm a salesman and always have been. The dollar signs aren't nearly as big in any other industry.
Who inspires you?
My grandfather, Abe Seruya. He's been in the real estate industry for over a decade and has lived through it all in many different markets, whether it be in the fashion industry, stocks and bonds, or real estate. His experience and knowledge is unparalleled. Plus he's 77 with no plans to retire anytime soon, even though he is more than able to do so.
What pushes you to the next level?
Competition. Whenever I see a deal that I worked on in the past close, or a deal that I know I could have done, that's something that really bothers me. I try to take that energy and use it to motivate me to work harder and smarter.
What is the hottest deal you have made to date?
The sale of 27 apartments and two stores that I sold in the Bronx when I first came into the industry over two years ago. The price per unit and per square foot were insanely low compared to the current market and it is in a prime location in the Little Italy section of the Bronx. Once we mentioned the deal to a few investors, we were bombarded with phone calls.
What is your secret weapon for sealing a deal?
Convincing the parties involved to seize the moment and that this opportunity will not be around forever. Otherwise they will just hold on to their properties, and nobody would ever sell unless they were in a dire financial situation.
What is the hottest area for deals right now?
Without a doubt the Bronx. When I first started out, everyone used to laugh and tell me that the entire Bronx is for sale, if somebody is willing to buy it. That is true, but most investors only realize it now that they feel that deal flow in Brooklyn has been significantly reduced.
What's the best season for deals?
I like the summer. Even though a huge con is that everybody is always in and out of vacations, investors are always looking for a good deal. On the days my clients are working, they are hungrier and ready to do deals, plus everyone is in a great mental state in the summer.
If you had to work in a city other than New York, where would it be?
Tel Aviv. The city never gets old and has such an amazing creative aspect to it. Plus there's always great vibes there.
What's the best piece of advice you would give to someone starting in the business?
Be motivated. The fire needs to come from within, everything else can be taught. Someone who really wants to be successful and make things happen will do so.

text: ePRNews Raj KesarimallJampp Automatically Predicts Which Mobile App Users Will Buy Oct 11, 2016 Mark 0 1 Press Release (ePRNews.com) - San Francisco, USA - Oct 11, 2016 - Jampp, a leading mobile app engagement platform, released Predictive Segments. The new feature will give companies the ability to guess which users will make a purchase within their mobile apps and then engage those users with custom ads.Using contextual data and past user behavior Jampp can, with the touch of a button, automatically group an app's user base in terms of conversion likelihood and then create custom ad strategies to pursue each group. It has historically been difficult to increase scale without compromising performance. With Jampp's Predictive Segments, we are simultaneously driving more purchases and reducing the overall cost per purchase. Warrick Godfrey, Regional Director of Marketing at Souq.com "The traditional method of segmenting users is broken," says Diego Meller, CEO of Jampp. "Mobile advertisers set up user segments based on arbitrary classifications such as smartphone type and other attributes that may suggest a user will behave in a certain way. This is short-sighted, though, because within those groups you have people that engage with the app in very different ways. Predictive Segments is the smart, scalable and data-driven way of creating segments for app engagement marketing."With Predictive Segments, advertisers select the "key conversion event" they are after, say "purchases," "bookings" or "sign ups." Using machine learning algorithms, Jampp's technology analyzes hundreds of data points for each user that installed the advertiser's app (including how many times a user has opened the app before, if a search was performed, at what time of the day that user usually opens the app, when she installed it for the first time and many others) and assigns each user a probability to convert on the selected key event.Once the different segments are calculated, the platform also calculates the ideal cost per click for each group, and advertisers can launch custom engagement strategies for every segment.Jampp, which has been featured by Amazon Web Services for its innovative use of Presto (their open-source distributed SQL query engine), makes Predictive Segments possible by analyzing close to 800 million in-app events daily. The platform continuously analyzes data from all apps that have at least 2 weeks of history in the system so it can update the different segments daily.For performance advertisers, Predictive Segments drives cost-effective app engagement and more clicks from the users who matter most. Advertisers that were part of the private beta are seeing an increase in sales and a decrease in cost per acquisition at least 30%."It has historically been difficult to increase scale without compromising performance," says Warrick Godfrey, Regional Director of Marketing at Souq.com, a leading online marketplace in the Middle East. "With Jampp's Predictive Segments, we are simultaneously driving more purchases and reducing the overall cost per purchase."Predictive Segments is now available as part of Jampp's app engagement service for the world's largest mobile app advertisers. With the launch of Dynamic Product Ads earlier this year and now Predictive Segments, Jampp is the go-to platform for mobile app retargeting and engagement.About JamppThe mobile app economy runs on Jampp. Jampp helps mobile app marketers engage and acquire users with performance advertising outside of Facebook. Built for scale and efficiency, the marketing platform automatically analyzes data to make real-time bidding decisions on hundreds of traffic sources. The technology dynamically creates user segments and customized ads to maximize in-app activity. With offices in San Francisco, London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and Cape Town, Jampp is trusted by the world's leading e-commerce app. For more information, visit jampp.com and connect with us on Twitter and Linkedin.

Richard "Popcorn" Wylie Extrasensory Perception
Published Aug 14, 2009Leave it to the folks at Dusty Groove to reissue another winner like this. 1974's Extrasensory Perception was Detroit-bred Richard "Popcorn" Wylie's only full-length album as a solo artist and it wrongfully slipped through the cracks upon its initial release on ABC Records. The late Wylie played piano on such early Motown hits as "Money" and "Shop Around," and his productions for labels like Golden World and Invictus made him an in-demand name in the Motor City. That Detroit aesthetic is definitely apparent on Perception, with legendary Motown session players like Dennis Coffey, James Jamerson and Eddie "Bongo" Brown contributing. The addition of Los Angeles studio musicians like Ray Parker Jr. and James Gadson, as well as Paul Riser's imperial string arrangements, gives this a mellower and ethereal aura more akin to Barry White, framing Wylie's smooth as molasses vocals on symphonic baubles like "Georgia's After Hours" and "Trust In Me." This is a small taste of soul heaven. (Dusty Groove)

Concrete Flooring
When you're considering putting your home on the market, one thing you should take into consideration is your flooring. Most homeowners redecorate rooms or make improvements to the exterior of their property without thinking about upgrading the floors. The flooring and what you use to protect it and keep it looking new can increase the value of your home. If you have outbuildings or a shed, make sure that the flooring is in good condition.
Concrete Flooring for Homes
Concrete flooring for residential use is becoming a popular trend in the building industry. Concrete is a good choice for flooring because it's inexpensive. New technology allows for patterns, different textures, and a variety of colors on concrete floors. One of the biggest benefits of installing concrete flooring in your home is that it's much more cost effective than some other types of flooring. The final cost of installing concrete flooring is approximately the same as vinyl tile, marble, granite, or floating flooring. Concrete is an attractive option because it's maintenance-free, and the color options are unlimited.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Many homeowners are choosing polyurethane sealers for use on their concrete flooring. Urethane is much stronger than conventional acrylic sealers, so they're a good choice for high-traffic areas of the home such as family rooms. Urethane cement flooring is a good option for any room in your home since it's more versatile than conventional flooring options. For residential use, cement flooring is a great option for basements, patios or breezeways, decks, porches, and entryways.
Quick Poll
Polished Concrete Flooring
Homeowners are finding that polished concrete is an attractive alternative to traditional flooring for home applications. One of the attractive features of polished flooring using concrete is that the aggregate in the cement gives it the appearance of stone. The concrete is available in a variety of colors and different levels of sheen, depending on the amount of shine you want to achieve. Grinding the concrete and using a resin or plastic compound gives the floor the desired amount of shine.
Adding Value To Your Home
When you want to put your home on the market, you can make a lot of improvements, and you may spend a lot of money. However, if you want to make your home more attractive to potential buyers, one of the most inexpensive improvements you can make is to upgrade your flooring. Since concrete is so cost effective, using it for flooring is a great way to increase the value of your home.
One of the trends in flooring that's becoming more popular is to use concrete as an alternative to carpeting or tile. Concrete is available in a wide array of colors to compliment the decor of any home.

MANILA (Reuters) – The Philippines has lifted a two-year moratorium on approving mining exploration permits, in a move that the government and industry hope will help determine the potential of some prospects in the world's No. 2 nickel ore exporter.
The decision is the second mining policy measure to be amended in recent months, but environment officials said a ban on new mining operations is still in place, suggesting the impact of the new order will be limited.
Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu, who took over from committed environmentalist Regina Lopez in May last year, also lifted a moratorium on government approvals for small-scale mining projects last month.
Citing President Rodrigo Duterte's push on "increasing competitiveness and the ease of doing business to attract local and foreign direct investment," Cimatu lifted the exploration moratorium in an order published in a local newspaper late last week.
However, mining remains a controversial issue in the Southeast Asian nation due to past examples of environmental mismanagement, and only 3 percent of 9 million hectares identified by the state as having high mineral reserves is mined.

Men with high HDL cholesterol levels of greater than 90 mg/dl were 36% more likely to die from cancer during an average follow-up of 4.9 years than men with HDL levels of 51-60 mg/dl according to a 2016 study from Canada.
(3.4 per 1,000 men with HDL levels greater than 90 mg/dl died from cardiovascular disease versus 2.5 men with HDL levels of 51-60 mg/dl. 3.4 divided by 2.5 equals 1.36.)
The study found that HDL levels that were either too high (>90 mg/dl) or too low (≤30 mg/dl) were associated with an increased risk of death when compared to men with more moderate HDL levels (41-80 mg/dl).

Yesterday we witnessed something truly remarkable. A transaction worth $99 million in Litecoin was done for only $0.40 in fee cost, and it was confirmed in only 150 seconds. This is a great example of how strong Litecoin really are. The funny part? As soon as LightningNetwork is completly tested on main-net, 150 seconds will be milliseconds instead.
We can't really find more specific information about where the transaction was conducted, however, we do know that someone took "pay with Litecoin" to the next level.
This is also a big statement from world of cryptocurrency, being able to transfer $99 million across the globe in 150 seconds via a decentralized manner with the only cost being $0.40, is amazing.
