Pure Review July The App for Instant Casual Hookups
It is mostly for threesomes and such and not that popular for finding one on one hookups. Craigslist is officially out of the dating game. It's the place for, well, pretty much everyone who takes dating seriously, but still wants to have fun.
So what was the most commonly cited reason for using Tinder? Single men are falling over themselves to meet women on this site.

WASHINGTON – The Smithsonian's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage this week received the largest gift in its history – $1.24 million – to support research into sustaining and revitalizing endangered languages in Europe.
The five-year project will evaluate different approaches to keeping languages healthy, taking into account social, cultural, political and economic influences, said Michael Atwood Mason, director of the center, which is best known for putting on the annual Folklife Festival on the National Mall.
"There's an enormous amount of excitement about developing well-researched and well-documented evidence about what's working and what's not," Mason said.
The money is coming from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of drugs for reproductive health, urology and gastroenterology, headquartered in Switzerland. The very name of the company is derived from an endangered language: Fering, spelled with one r, is a dialect of North Frisian, spoken on the German island of Fohr in the North Sea.
The company's commitment to cultural and linguistic preservation is a passion of Ferring's founding family. The late Frederik Paulsen, a medical student and researcher who fled Germany in the 1930s after being jailed by the Gestapo for political dissidence, founded the company in Sweden in the 1950s and named it in tribute to the community of Feringers on Fohr. Paulsen's son, also named Frederik, now is chairman of Ferring and is on the advisory council of the Folklife center.
"My family heritage includes Frisian, an endangered language, so I am keenly aware of the importance of language to our identity and our humanity," the younger Frederik Paulsen said in a written statement.
Thousands of languages around the world are estimated to be in danger of losing their daily use this century. Scores of those are in Europe, from Aranese in the Pyrenees, to the Sami languages in Scandinavia, to Breton in France, Mason said.
All manner of formal and informal efforts are underway to save languages, which are precious conveyors of identities and cosmologies as well as isolated practical knowledge, such as the properties of local plants. The new grant will support six research teams in collaboration with several international organizations to assess various strategies being used to breathe new life into languages.
Europe is a good laboratory because conditions across the continent are relatively even, allowing for comparison, and potentially yielding lessons that could be applied elsewhere, Mason said. The languages to be studied haven't been decided yet.
Language sustainability is a priority across the Smithsonian, whose "Recovering Voices" effort teams the Folklife center with the National Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of the American Indian. Two years ago, a theme of the Folklife Festival was "One World, Many Voices: Endangered Languages and Cultural Heritage."

Facebook, which began as a social network for college students and the academic community, has experienced exodus before, albeit usually more gradually.Young people have edged away from it in favor of other platforms such as Snapchat, WhatsApp and Instagram (the latter two are owned by Facebook now), and many maintain a presence but use it rarely. Internationally, while Facebook remains widespread, insurgent social networks built around messaging, such as Line in Japan and Thailand, WeChat in China and KakaoTalk in South Korea, have supplanted it.But as the granddaddy of the major social networks, Facebook boasts more than 2.2 billion users – nearly 30 percent of the world's population, a community vastly larger than any nation. Still others expressed the perennial wish of Facebook users when confronted with contentious debate: Can't we all just post nice things and stay away from politics? And finally, the payoff question: Will Facebook even let me quit? Is it any wonder, then, that so many people covet the bonds of community – even virtual community – and the reinforcement that accompanies them?

OnePlus has been rumoured for its upcoming flagship OnePlus 6. The company's latest smartphone OnePlus 5T is only a few months old and we have started getting leaks and rumours regarding the next handset, the OnePlus 6. Last week leaks reveal images of the OPPO R15 being the close contender to match iPhone X. We can expect the similar state of art features along with premium notch design similar to the Apple iPhone X.
The OnePlus 6 has been spotted on bench marking website AnTuTu with an impressive score of 276510 points. According to the leaked information, the OnePlus 6 will be powered by a Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 845 chipset. It is rumoured that the device will hold up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.The leaks further suggests that the smartphone will be launched with a new 19:9 aspect ratio. Images also suggests that the given space will likely a notch. The notch will separate out the app notifications on the left, while the right will feature the other icons such as the clock, network and alike. This could be in-line with support for the future update of Android P on Oxygen OS.Previous leaks claims that the OnePlus 6 could come with a rear glass panel that will also allow wireless charging. As per the camera, the dual rear vertical lens system would be positioned above the centred rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Moving forwards we can expect the following killer features from 2018 launch:-
- Battery– The OnePlus 5T comes with the firm's Dash Charge technology, allowing you to get a decent slug of juice from just 30 minutes of plugged in time. It will be better if the technology could be improved a bit more with time. Also, we shall expect a decent battery backup as well.
- Under-screen fingerprint sensor- If the OnePlus 6 can be one of the first to put up the fingerprint scanner under the display,then it is really something to like about.
- Sound Quality – Many brands have implemented stereo speakers and now we can expect the same for the OnePlus 6 to make it a more features loaded smartphone.
- Pricing- Last thing which makes this deal even better is the pricing. OnePlus is already known for flagships smartphones at a cheap price. We would like if the pricing is buyer friendly. We can expect this to be nearly around the same price as that of the OnePlus 5T , 128GB variant.

I have an Arris SBG6580 (modem and router) and, while it's holding it's wireless connection, it keeps on dropping the internet connection. If I power cycle the device, there's no issue for a few hours, but then it occurs again. We have one device connected via Ethernet directly from the router and it's never had an issue--only the wireless devices. I've tried changing the wireless channel, and it made no difference.
Is this an issue with my equipment? Something with Xfinity's side? Any suggestions?
Here's the info:
Firmware: SBG6580-22.214.171.124-GA-00-092-NOSH
The cable modem is Operational
The cable modem receive signal is 543.0 MHz, 12.8 dBmV & 43.1 dB CNR (primary).

Solved! Go to Solution.
I don't have the same equioment but we do have the same problem. Looking for answers on this is a pain. Nothing stays connected except the main PC that is connected through ethernet.
Post your signal's please.. So I got this correct.. your saying ethernet connected devices keep working but the WiFi devices have issues?
Your downstream power levels are too high.

Dear Jamaica,
It's been nine years since first landing on your shores. You offered me a tropical sanctuary at a time in my journey when it was gray clouds and jagged rocks. You gave me mangoes fresh from the tree, an endless turquoise sea, and challenges that stretched me to look deep within to find my strength. I have had spectacular adventures like that time we went to Bath Fountain and covered ourselves in nourishing mud then soaked in the hot mineral springs. Or that time we were coming back from a road trip to Manchester to see double rainbows covering Kingston. Or when we devoured pound after pound of fried lion fish at Hellshire while Bob sang, "in high tide or low tide, I'll be by your side…" Or the first night in our house when we heard the lion at the nearby zoo roar at sunset then again at dawn the next morning. Or in the Spring when the Poui tree carpeted our driveway in yellow flowers. Or the clouds of butterflies drinking the nectar of the Lignum Vitae trees. Or the abrupt intermissions at the most dramatic part of the new release at the movie theater. Or the spontaneous dance sessions around the jerk pans every weekend. Yes, Jamaica, we've had some great adventures!
You introduced me to the poetic words of Velma Pollard, "she turns to darkness/calm and eloquent/and fills it with her/moonbeams with her trees/cool water/slippering over/ mossy rocks/drip gentle/gentle/drip"; the art of Jamaican greats like Albert Huie and Barrington Watson as well as amazing contemporaries like Ebony Patterson, Oneika Russell and Phillip Thomas, Omari Ra- some of whom you gave me the privilege to call colleagues; the designs of Baughaus, Pinto Studios, Reve, Mutumba. This vibrant creative community not only welcomed me, but inspired me to venture in new artistic directions including entrepreneurship and Rae Marie Fine Soaps & Textiles. I will always remember what an honor it was to pitch our company to your prime minister and Sir Richard Branson. Before you, I never imagined myself as a CEO or business woman. You have unsettled me, Jamaica, in all the best ways possible!
I will always be grateful for the gifts you have given me. For a little island, you have quite an impact! One of my favorite things about greeting people on the street here has been the response to the question, "How are you today?" "Blessed" or the equally ubiquitous farwell, "Jah, Bless." Yes, Jamaica, I am blessed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Soon come!

In Dialogue: The Problems of Seeking
November Project: Question #2 This exchange comes from a conversation on Google Talk.
Questioner: Hi, I've recently come across your website and was intrigued by your writings and your story. I was wondering if it would be possible to talk with you/ask a question or two sometime?
Takuin: Sure, it is fine. What did you want to ask?
Questioner: Well (I hope I can summarize this without rambling too much) basically my question, I think, is related to the difficulty I'm having right now with understanding nonduality on a conceptual level, but not much more, because I'm having trouble motivating myself to do practical things, and I realize that this is something I'll have to work through myself, and no one can do it for me, but I feel like I've been spinning my wheels a lot.
I'm a college student, now on leave, and don't know what to do because I can't seem to focus on schoolwork... I feel like I spend too much time reading nonduality stuff and getting caught up in the "spiritual seeker" mode but I don't know what else to do (sorry I'm taking so long to type, by the way, I keep editing my words).
Takuin: Are you really interested in non-duality? I mean, as a subject? For example, some people are interested in classic cars, vintage signs, guitars, languages, and so on. Is that essentially your interest in non-duality?
There is nothing wrong with that if it is so.
Questioner: I don't think so, I'm not interested in it as a "philosophy" or something to study or play around with. I feel like I was drawn to it on some intuitive level.
A therapist introduced me to Adyashanti and other teachers and I just felt a connection...not sure how to describe it...it felt true.
But I think sometimes the ego comes in and I start wanting to fulfill this ideal image of myself that I want to have...wise, compassionate, helping people...etc.
Takuin: How do you see that?
"the ego comes in and I start wanting to fulfill this ideal image of myself that I want to have...wise, compassionate, helping people...etc."
How do you see this? Is it you, disappointed at seeing how this goes around in circles?
Is it the you, and the thing it holds out, observing? How do you see it? I am just curious.
Questioner: Hmm...not sure how to answer...I feel like there's some part of me that feels like it's all okay, it's part of the process, and it will resolve itself when it's time, and another part that says this is NOT okay, and I need to figure this out and not procrastinate and mess things up...
Takuin: The most important thing is to understand how you are functioning. and I do not necessarily mean a focus on the physical body, although that is a part of it. But the mind is very tricky, and you can be caught up in all of that without knowing.
Non duality, as a teaching, is really not very important. It is not a 'useful' pursuit....'useful' is not the right word, but let's go on...
You'll need to see this for yourself, but there may be a tendency, after reading all the various books, to look for the thing you've been told about, which is not the way of your functioning. What the teachers say may turn out to be true in the end, but you'll only know if you find it, and not if you follow it, if that makes sense to you.
I ask these questions because I am interested in your functioning. I want to know what goes on underneath. If you take that same curiosity, you can find whatever it is on your own. Looking inward is not the same thing as taking a teaching and trying to find it outwardly.
I'm not saying any of it is bad, but the way humans treat enlightenment....the pursuit...it can be a distraction from living.
But in that sense, it is really no different from any other destructive pursuit. ;)
Questioner: That's true. and yet I keep doing it, even though I know on some level that I'm running away from what's here, from what is. My concentration difficulties have actually been around for a while, even before getting into nonduality...therapists have said that I have ADD, and I think part of the appeal of nonduality was that finally, here was something saying that there was nothing wrong with me, I didn't need to be fixed. and I know you're not a therapist and probably can't comment on this, but I just thought I'd mention this, because I've never figured out how to deal with it, how to look within when there is so much distraction and turbulence inside.
I feel like I'm constantly either resisting or indulging thoughts, and not getting in touch with much beyond that.
Takuin: If you feel like you're constantly resisting or indulging thoughts, that is a great place to begin, and you might want to explore around that area.
The answer is not to have someone else tell you how to handle it, but to go into it and handle it delicately on your own. Frustration will teach you how to be free of frustration.
If you feel a real struggle, it is wonderful. You don't have to imagine what it would be like to struggle and then theorize about how to get through it....it is actually there and very available.
But many people do not have the guts to go through with it. You have to face the self, as it is. It is not always a happy place, but it is beautiful; the way it happens to you can never happen to any other human being in the same way, as your eyes have seen things none of us can ever see
And as it is unique to you, it must be you that takes care of it. It is true that the way things arise for me is the same as they arise for you, but that is just the mechanism itself...it becomes unique because of what you have seen, where you have gone, whom you have known, etc., if that makes sense to you.
You can do all of this without rejecting anything your physician has told you...don't ignore any of that.
Questioner: Yes, that's true. I've been reflecting on these things while still trying to be open to what the therapists have been saying.
I just wish i could cut through the noise inside and determine which is truth and intuition and which is ego. But I guess this desire, in itself, is ego, and only I can look into this, as you said.
I just get so confused sometimes...or i confuse myself. :-p
Takuin: This search is no different from what others do in search of anything else...
Writers always want to know what Hemingway, or some other writer, wrote like, or where he lived, or what his writing schedule was, and they think if they follow that, they can produce work like his.
A guitarist might want to know how Shawn Lane practiced, or what scales he used to solo with, and they hope to be great like he was through that emulation...
It goes on and on in the physical world. It is the same with the search for oneness or enlightenment or whatever. one wants to read the right book, hear the right dialogue, sit close to the right guru, learn the right mediation...
It is rare that the human being looks within for the answer...to even see if there is an answer.
One must listen to everyone, but follow no one.
Everything we have tried to free ourselves with is outward; following this or that. All of that has to stop. For the good of all of us, that has to stop.
Questioner: I understand, and I honestly don't really feel like I can totally trust any particular "authority" because I know it has to come from within me...but I think I keep moving outward because when I look within, it feels like all I get is noise, unending chatter and images...
And I know that's typical to some extent, and i try to give it permission to be there, but it just seems to have no end.
Maybe I'm not really letting go, I'm wanting to get somewhere else, away from the noise...but I feel like I have no control over that.
Takuin: You will have to look in all directions. Is the problem the noise? Or is there a person thinking something else should be there? Is there a difference between the noise and the listener? For that matter, is there anything other than the noise, unending chatter and images?
Do you have any control? Over what? Forget what others might say on these topics....What do you see?
I am not telling you...I am asking for you to tell me, if you can. You might not be able to, and that is fine.
Questioner: I feel like...my experience tells me that I have no control, and my mind says that if I really let that in, then how am I going to get anywhere, accomplish anything, do what I need to do in life. I understand on some level that "no control" doesn't mean "no responsibility" but I think it's because I don't really know how to live like that, without a sense of control to push me to do what needs to be done.
Takuin: In the physical world, we need to manipulate objects and so on - we can use the word 'control' here - to get things done. Any goal is dependent upon control and release and manipulation. It doesn't matter if you are a politician, or a painter. But is this the control you are speaking about?
It is clear that as a physical body, physical things must be done. But that is really not what we're speaking of when we look within. It has no real substance...it is not easy to manipulate like physical objects in the world.
The mind, or whatever we might say, applies physical attributes to something completely beyond the physical.
Questioner: Right, and I feel like if I have any control over my thoughts, it's minimal, which makes it difficult for me to do things like writing.
Takuin: 'You' as the controller of thought....that is interesting to me.
Questioner: Yeah, that's what it feels like...there's a "me" trying to control, that feels like it needs to control in order to do things like that...write, reflect, meditate, whatever...or even just stay focused on a simple task, actually. Sometimes it can be like that.
Takuin: In what way is that controller different from thought? I am not saying it is or it isn't. Just curious how you see this. If 'you' can control something, it has to be apart from you, separate in some way. It must be something not a part of you, otherwise you could not wrangle it and control it.
How do you see this?
Questioner: Well, I suppose that the controller could be just another thought...a thought that says I need to control...
But then I wonder what to do with that, because it seems to be just an intellectual or conceptual understanding.
Takuin: If that is as far as you go, then yes, it is just intellectual understanding.
But it is only an understanding, in that sense, if you have decided and made a conclusion. Conclusion may cut off your fullest explorations....you may find this out, and I don't want to tell you it is so, but you must be aware of what you are doing when you conclude...it cuts off other possibilities....but even if there is no other possibility, there is no need to conclude on these things.
It is not a matter of hearing someone else say the thought and the thinker are one, then following it....it may be true, but if you cannot see it for yourself, it is just a conclusion or an agreement with something that sounds pleasing for you.
Confound yourself at every turn! ;)
Something you might find useful is to write these things out....if a subject seems too heavy, sometimes writing it down takes a weight off the mind. I don't think I have ever written for this specific purpose, but it might be useful to you.
Especially if you are 'more noisy' than usual. ;)
Questioner: Haha, yes, I've tried writing, but it seems that I tend to struggle with putting the thoughts into words...like they move too fast for me, or they feel too scattered...sometimes I feel like a have to organize a disheveled library or something, and find the right words.
But maybe if I could be more patient with it, it might be helpful.
Takuin: Well, that kind of writing is something only for you, so it doesn't have to be written well, or for the consumption of others. It doesn't even have to make conventional sense, and you don't have to keep it afterward. You can have a BBQ with friends, and burn the pages in a ceremony.
Questioner: Ha! Yes, that's true.
So I guess what you're saying is that there are no shortcuts with this...as much as my ego may want them. ;-) I guess I'll sit with this, with what you've said, being open, not grasping for answers because I think they'll give me control and solve my "problems."
Takuin: Don't think of the term 'shortcut', because there is never any indication of real distance. You will see this.
Take it slowly. And if you have frustration, anger, or whatever, it is good. It is there to teach you. Just don't look for the state others may speak of...it does not exist as something to search for. That doesn't mean you have to stop reading any particular books....you don't have to change anything apart from your involvement. Your sticky fingers will mess it all up, then it becomes very difficult to clean. ;)
Questioner: Thank you so much for all your help and patience with my many questions.
Takuin: It is no problem. I spend a lot of time with others in this way, so it is not unusual. It is always good to hear from the minds of others. I like it.
Thanks very much for the questioner in this dialogue. Hopefully, we will meet again at some point.

I have a 2012 Nissan Leaf with 45000 miles on it. A month ago it stopped charging on all L1 and L2 EVSEs (Nothing worked on the J1772 but chademo works fine), when plugged in it, would light up like it was starting to charge then clunk and the charging lights would go off. I checked the diode like the Youtube video shows and it checked fine (different readings different directions). Found a used charger at a wrecking yard and installed it now L1 works and some L2s work (My dads L2 the Nissan dealers L2 works fine) I went to a Greenlots L2 and it never gave me an error but would not charge the car, my Jucebox Pro 40 beeps 2 times with a pause between (from Juceboxk 2 (short beeps, then break) Car not obeying J1772. (Or plugged into something that's not an EV).)
I love my Leaf but I bought it because I wanted to have less maintence, I'm ready to give up and drive the ICE car that I never sold because I wasnt sure how an electric car would fit into our life. Please help me if you can !!!!!!

Automatic Motors Sdn Bhd and TMD Friction recently conducted their first-ever educational seminar program with a full-house seminar in the nation's capital Kuala Lumpur.
The seminar officially started at 5:30pm in the late afternoon, with a total of 54 guests from a total of 13 workshops and six spare-part shops invited, many of whom even arrived earlier to have casual yet engaging chats with the technical experts from Automatic Motors Sdn Bhd and TMD Friction.
During the first half of the seminar, trainer Sam Ngau began with an introduction of TMD Friction as a company, the history behind the group, and how TMD Friction developed into the leading brake manufacturer for the European segment. Additional information such as testing procedures, research and development, as well as bench-mark settings were also shared.
Shortly after the end of the first half, customers were treated to a sumptuous buffet dinner, an opportunity for interaction amongst various workshops and dealers, and also for Automatic Motors Sdn Bhd and TMD Friction to gather the latest information regarding the market as a whole.
The second half of the seminar started at around 8:15pm and lasted for an additional 80 or so minutes. In this segment, crucial information concerning proper installation procedures of brake pads and discs were discussed, as well as various technical know-hows, such as problem diagnosis and rectification methods.
The seminar ended with a Q&A session where customers got the opportunity to ask specific queries and share past experiences.
Toward the end of the event, all customers present commented on the importance of such a seminar, why it is useful for companies such as TMD Friction to reach out directly in such a format, as well as how successful such events are in fostering stronger ties and relationships.

What is Nocturnal Asthma Treatment, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Causes
What is Nocturnal Asthma Treatment, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Causes: Nocturnal asthma Also Known As Nighttime Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation, including a history of respiratory symptoms that change over time, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough, with variable expiratory breath Airflow is limited. It is clinically found that the clinical features of asthma, airway inflammation and the like have different phenotypes, and nocturnal asthma is one of the clinical characteristic phenotypes. What is Nocturnal Asthma Treatment, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Causes. It is also important that asthma-induced respiratory arrests occur more often at night. According to statistics, 70% of asthma deaths occur during sleep-related periods. At present, some progress has been made in the neural mechanism, inflammation mechanism, effects, consequences and treatment of nocturnal asthma. What is Nocturnal Asthma Treatment, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Causes.
What we will Learn:
1: Nocturnal Asthma Causes
2: Nocturnal Asthma Symptoms
3: Nighttime Asthma Test
4: Nocturnal Asthma Diagnosis
5: Nocturnal Asthma Treatment
6: Nocturnal Asthma Prevention
1: Nocturnal Asthma Causes
The pathogenesis of nocturnal asthma is basically the same as that of general asthma. It is also a disease characterized by chronic airway non-specific inflammation, which involves multiple inflammatory cells interacting. Mast cells are the main cause of acute asthma. Effector cells act as "trigger"; eosinophils are considered to be the main effector cells of airway inflammation that induce chronic asthma, and eosinophil percentage and count have been shown to be inversely related to FEV1. Recent studies on nocturnal asthma in foreign countries have found that peripheral blood and eosinophils in patients with nocturnal asthma are significantly higher than normal, indicating that the incidence of nocturnal asthma is closely related to airway eosinophilic inflammation.
2: Nocturnal Asthma Symptoms
1: Wheezing
2: Chest tightness
3: A Cough
4: Other
3: Nighttime Asthma Test
4: Nocturnal Asthma Diagnosis
Asthma patients develop symptoms at night, and it is usually not difficult to diagnose. However, for middle-aged and elderly people, asthma is often accompanied by other diseases such as heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Therefore, attention should be paid to the diagnosis and cardiac asthma, COPD nighttime wheezing and recurrent small pulmonary embolism. And so on. In fact, most diseases have a rhythm of day and night, and nighttime symptoms worsen, so when certain diseases affect the upper airway (such as allergic rhinitis) and the lower airway, the symptoms will be confused with nocturnal asthma.
5: Nocturnal Asthma Treatment
There are few reports on special treatments for nocturnal asthma, but the basic pathological changes of nocturnal asthma are the same as other asthma, which is chronic allergic inflammation of the airway. Therefore, the basic treatment is similar to the treatment of other asthma, and anti-inflammatory treatment should be the main method. However, due to the special pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of nighttime, the treatment of nocturnal asthma has its particularity. At present, asthma is also mainly used for inhalation, especially in children and adolescents. Inhaled drugs include glucocorticoids, β2-receptor agonists, cholinergic receptor blockers, inflammatory mediators, etc. Inhalation dosage forms include powder inhalation, compressed quantitative aerosol, and oxygen-driven aerosol inhalation; inhalation methods include direct and indirect methods, and space is more suitable for nighttime patients.
6: Nocturnal Asthma Prevention
How to prevent nocturnal asthma, the use of drugs to expand the trachea, eliminate chronic inflammation is an effective means to control asthma attacks. In the past, it was often controlled by taking aminophylline before going to bed, but because the drug was quick and effective, it also stimulated the gastrointestinal tract and affected the heart function, and the curative effect was not satisfactory. "What is Nocturnal Asthma Treatment, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Causes" In the past few years, the compound medicines such as Chinese wolfberry, Sophora flavescens, Schisandra, Laiwuzi, Astragalus, Ganoderma lucidum and other extracts have been used to effectively prevent nighttime airway contraction, reduce airway inflammation, and reduce the compound drugs such as asthma, asthma, and beauty. Airway reactivity, with two-way immune regulation, can improve immune function and achieve the purpose of cure.

King Krule Album Review:
The OOZ
words by Kyra Bruce
Archy Marshall has been making music for years under many different names: Zoo Kid, King Krule, and his own name. Earlier this month he released his sophomore album under the name King Krule, The OOZ. The album is deeply intimate and feels like Archy is inviting us to take a look inside his head. The album is an opportunity to see intense emotions like depression, anger, love, and loneliness through his eyes.
The OOZ creates entire rich, velvety worlds that are expansive, deep, and surreal. It stirs up images of being stranded in the middle of a deep ocean covered in perpetual darkness, it feels like walking home drunk and alone through an empty dark blue-tinted city, it sounds like a soundtrack of a film noir and a cyber punk film at the same time.
The OOZ is deeply lonely and personal, it feels more like a diary than an album at points. Some songs like "Bermondsey Bosom (Left)" and "Bermondsey Bosom (Right)" and "Sublunary" feel like vague musical sketches and not full songs. While other songs like "Vidual" and "The Locomotive" are intense nightmare-ish songs that would fit in on a "Spooky Sounds" CD. Don't get me wrong, this album fits together seamlessly, it is beautiful, experimental, and totally nails what it was going for.
Archy fuses jazz, chill hip-hop, smooth post-punk, and moody rock flawlessly in The OOZ. These genres combine to create a haunting and full sound with nothing wasted, every sound in every song is a deliberate effort to spark an emotion in the listener. The guitar is emotive, the percussion is bottomless and full, the bass lines are overpowering, and of course Archy's vocals are deep and demanding.
This album is perfect fall/winter music, and it is the most interesting new release I have heard in a while. Do yourself a favor and put on a sweater, put your headphones in, and click below to listen to The OOZ start to finish. It really is an incredible album.

2d 201
114 L.R.R.M. (BNA) 2827, 98 Lab.Cas. P 10,463
By letter dated August 18, 1983, the Board contends that, although our
jurisdiction to deny enforcement of the Board's bargaining order is clear, we
lacked jurisdiction to vacate the election that served as the predicate for the
Board's order. Treating the letter as a petition for rehearing, 712 F.2d 40 (2
Cir.1983),1 we reject the Board's contention.
The Board calls to our attention cases supporting the traditional rule that orders
in certification proceedings are not final orders within the meaning of sections
10(e) and (f) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. Secs. 160(e), (f)
(1976). Boire v. Greyhound Corp., 376 U.S. 473, 84 S.Ct. 894, 11 L.Ed.2d 849
(1964); American Federation of Labor v. NLRB, 308 U.S. 401, 60 S.Ct. 300, 84
L.Ed. 347 (1940). Those cases, however, do not preclude review; they simply
The Honorable Charles M. Metzner of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, sitting by designation
The Board's letter was filed beyond the time for a petition for rehearing, but we
grant leave to file the "petition" out of time
Perhaps confusion has arisen because of the term "review." In cases coming to
us from district courts, "reviewability" has generally referred to whether a
particular issue is available for our consideration upon a proper appeal, and
"appealability" has generally referred to whether a judgment or order can be the
subject of a proper appeal. For example, an order granting a new trial is not
appealable, but it is reviewable upon an appeal from an appealable final
judgment entered after the second trial. See 6A Moore's Federal Practice p
59.15 (1983). Unfortunately, the distinction in terminology is blurred in
appellate consideration of some agency decisions because the process of
bringing an "appealable" agency order to a court of appeals is generally called
"review." Thus, upon "review" of the Board's bargaining order, we "review"
the validity of the election. Some courts have attempted to maintain the

Hyperspace travel seems to be cheap and easy in Star Wars. They move large ships, lots of cargo, even entire planets across the galaxy. A ship coming out of hyperspace can have any speed. We often see that they have no difficulty matching the speed of the spaceship to the orbital velocity of the nearest planet, or to the already waiting other ships. Why don't they come out of hyperspace at high speed, release some rocks, and reenter hyperspace immediately?
A big rock, traveling as fast as a real meteorite could kill most life on a planet far more easily than the Death Star did. Other type of projectiles would be even more deadly or even less detectable. What about a dark, cold metal rod? It would be almost invisible, and if properly designed, would penetrate the crust of an Earth-like planet causing devastating volcanic eruptions and lava flows. Or a truckload of sand? It would be easier to spread and more difficult to recapture, and would reach the atmosphere and create a giant fireball.
Yet, we see none of these in any episodes of Star Wars.
We see that hyperspace travel is not possible on the surface of the planet, but we also see ships entering hyperspace just outside the atmosphere. A meteorite, real or artificial, so close cannot be deflected.

How do you make an escape room with nearly 1000 students?
You don't!
You make 6 escape rooms.
6 Different Mobile Escape Rooms
In our largest and longest-ever residency program to date, 4 different Mobile Escape staff worked with every student at Nose Creek School over the course of 4 months to create 6 different escape rooms inside the school:
Grade 9 - Dr. Frankenstein's Monster
Grade 8 - Da Vinci Museum Heist
Grade 7 - City'Scape Calgary 2.0
Grade 6 - Art Gallery and Crime Scene
Grade 5 - Kodiak Creek Express - Runaway Train
Grade 4 - Robot Rocket Launch
The Grade 8s and 9s went first and set the bar high!
Grade 9 - Dr. Frankenstein's Monster
The grade 9 students were introduced to their electricity unit by creating puzzles to power up Dr. Frankenstein's monster. In the version of the story the grade 9 students created, tourists stumbled upon Dr. Frankenstein's lab but then the door was locked behind them. The tourists had to look through Dr. Frankenstein's notes in order to find clues and figure out how to generate the power needed to bring the monster to life so that he could bang the door down for them!
One of my (Paul) highlights from working with these grade 9 students was working with the PLP students. It was a beautiful display of their incredible abilities. The PLP class created a unique puzzle where the "tourists" had to find find a battery in order to complete a circuit (which the students created themselves!) illuminating certain lights that revealed new information required to power up the monster. Enjoy!
Grade 8 - Da Vinci Museum Heist
This Da Vinci escape room was a theme never done before, and it took a ton of brain power and teamwork to pull it off.
The students were both learning about Da Vinci's inventions while simultaneously trying to turn them into clues… not easy!
Some highlights from the room include a stunning sketch of Mona Lisa and a functional crossbow. Great job grade 8s!
Then, it was time for the Grade 6s and 7s to show off their ingenuity.
Grade 7 - City'Scape Calgary 2.0
Let's build a city and turn it into an escape room! The grade 7 students created "Calgary 2.0" where things had gone astray and power needed to be restored. Specialists (the parents, family and friends) were brought in to help the Mayor, solve the puzzles, and bring the futuristic city back on-line.
Grade 6 - Art Gallery Crime Scene
The grade 6 students were tasked with creating an escape room linked to their Evidence and Investigation unit, more commonly known as "The CSI unit". In the story of this room the NCS Art Gallery had an attempted robbery. The priceless gem was taken from its secure pedestal, and the thief got away. Detectives (the parents) were brought in to inspect the crime scene looking for evidence to narrow down the list of suspects and make an arrest in order to reclaim the gem.
And last, but certainly not least, were the grade 4s and 5s.
They might be smaller and less experienced than the older students, but they make up for it in gusto!
There was some fabulous building going on as the students in each grade sought to accomplish some pretty ambitious builds: including a rocket ship and a train, each big enough to get inside.
Grade 5 - Kodiak Creek Express
Choo choooo!
Uh oh! The conductor's asleep and there's a bridge out ahead!
Your job is to stop the train (made by the fabulous Grade 5s) from barrelling off the tracks into the canyon below.
One of my (Eric) highlights from this residency was the animation that the students made to signify the train going down the tracks.
There were also multiple rooms on board our train: first class, second class, and cargo. This created a really cool dynamic and resulted in both a fun but extremely challenging escape room.
Grade 4 - Robot Rocket Launch
The whimsical Grade 4s developed their own storyline: a mad scientist trying to take over the world with robots! The only way to stop him? Launch a rocket into space with a LOT of water on board, and drop it on the robots to short-circuit them… makes sense, right?
Well it did to these little gaffers! Which is why they were furiously building robot parts, diagrams, a rocket, and a well!
A Huge Thank You
The staff at Nose Creek School deserve a huge thank-you and congratulations. They all worked so hard and created such wonderful work. The teamwork between students was incredible, and this culture existed at the school before we got there thanks to the amazing staff.
A special thank-you to Sarabeth who was brave enough to believe this was all possible.
Congratulations NCS!

Fine Arts Gallery Exhibit of Contemporary Mosaics Opens March 13 in Cohen Hall
Posted by vrcvanderbilt on Monday, March 11, 2019 in Events, Fine Arts Gallery, HART, News, Vanderbilt University, Visual Resources Center, VRC.
Embodied: Mosaic Arts International 2019 Invitational, an exhibition surveying figurative works by five renowned mosaic artists working today, will open on Wednesday, March 13, in Vanderbilt's Fine Arts Gallery in Cohen Memorial Hall on the Peabody campus. Join us for the opening reception from 5 to 7 pm in the atrium.
Featured artists are Lilian Broca (Canada), Shug Jones (United States), Michael Kruzich (United States), Atsuko Laskaris (Japan) and Carol Shelkin (United States). Gallery hours are 11am to 4pm Monday through Friday, and 1 to 5pm Saturday and Sunday.
The contemporary mosaics, on view through May 25, attempt to capture the personal histories, preserved memories, and emotional occurrences of everyday life. Through meticulous manipulations of glass, stone and ceramic, these detailed works achieve a dynamic range of color, texture and reflectivity. Their durable materials and methods do not stray far from those from antiquity. Neither do their stories: Scenes presented in Embodied share timeless themes of love and family, conflict and war, spirituality and society.
The exhibition is held in conjunction with this year's American Mosaic Summit, held in Nashville at the Sheraton Music City Hotel from April 23-28. This exhibition is supported, in part, by the Society of American Mosaic Artists. Since 1999, SAMA has presented programs, publications, events and exhibitions that promote, educate and inspire excellence in mosaic arts. Mosaic Arts International is the longest running annual juried exhibition showcasing mosaic art in the world.
The Fine Arts Gallery is located in Cohen Memorial Hall at 1220 21st Avenue South, on the western edge of the Peabody College campus. Admission and all events are free and open to the public. Parking is available anywhere in Lot 95 on the Peabody campus, accessible from 21st Avenue South.
*Michael Kruzich (American, b. 1964). Refuge, 2017. Stone, Italian smalti, and gold. 60 x 36 inches.

Ongoing demand for Auckland CBD commercial properties
Demand for commercial real estate in Auckland's CBD remains high. Photo / Supplied
Demand for commercial real estate in Auckland's CBD remained elevated over the first quarter of 2019 according to New Zealand commercial real estate firm JLL.
The agency has released its First Quarter 2019 Market Snapshot research detailing the state of the CBD's office and retail markets.
Beginning with the office market, JLL senior research analyst Daniel Longmire says vacancies in large prime buildings have been maintained at low levels.
"Without a significant change in stock via additions or removals, we have not observed any significant material differences," says Longmire.
"As at the second half of 2018, prime vacancy dropped to 4.7 per cent, which was closely followed by secondary vacancy at 6 per cent. "
"We forecast a slight moderation in vacancy rates as pressure is taken off as new developments reach completion, including Commercial Bay, anticipated to be delivered early in the second quarter of 2020 delivering around 39,000sq m."
Supply remained relatively static with no new stock added to the market over the last quarter. However, Longmire says there is development on the horizon.
"Several projects have progressed further through the development pipeline, including refurbishment works at 246 Queen St and a crane being erected at 10 Madden St," he says.
"Additionally, construction activity has commenced at Mansons' 136-142 Fanshawe St site, which is expected to deliver 22,000sq m of A-grade space into the market once completed."
In terms of asset performance, JLL's research shows prime rents in the CBD office market saw a slight increase to $496 per sq m after taking a brief pause.
"Secondary rents have been put to a standstill over the last quarter, after several periods of consecutive growth," says Longmire.
"Rental uplift is expected to regain upward momentum as new supply entering the market sets new rental benchmarks.
"Yields saw minor drops in both the prime and secondary sectors, now sitting at 5.5 per cent and 6.46 per cent respectively.
"Transaction volumes slowed coming into 2019, with purchasing activity in New Zealand typically rising from the second quarter onwards."
Longmire says the CBD retail market is tough to break into.
"With no new large vacancies available in this portion of the CBD, there are virtually zero opportunities for new retailers to enter the area without compromising for a space further up the city's busiest shopping street," Longmire says.
"Strong spending by cruise ship visitors along with the overall flow of tourists has helped maintain competition for space and, in particular, from high-end offshore retailers looking to enter the market.
"The opening of Commercial Bay is expected to alleviate some pent-up demand and create some vacancy as occupiers reshuffle to an extent."
The refurbishment at 175 Queen St (Typo, a stationary retailer) resulted in an increase in overall supply over the first quarter. However, a dramatic shift in stock isn't expected until the completion of the 18,000sq m retail component of Precinct Properties' Commercial Bay development in 2020.
Outside of this, there are a number of small to mid-size refurbishment projects underway, including 1900sq m at 246 Queen St, which will see both office and retail stock returned to the market in the first half of 2020.
In terms of asset performance, Longmire says the retail sector's longer term structural changes means that rents for all properties in this asset class across the Auckland market have continued on a downward trend in the first quarter of 2019, with secondary assets seeing steeper declines.
"Prime CBD rents fell from $2925 per sq m to $2908 per sq m, (down 0.6 per cent) in the quarter, with a further softening forecast over the remainder of 2019.
"Reductions are driven primarily from rents falling away in the lower end of the grade spectrum, a trend expected to persist over 2019 and into 2020," says Longmire.
"Yields are naturally pushing out due to sectoral uncertainty, with prime CBD seeing an increase in the first quarter of 2019 to 5.88 per cent from 5.83 per cent. This follows similar yield performance of regional assets."
Longmire says moving forward, JLL expects landlords to choose to hold or redevelop rather than divest.

From what I can see in the ACP, it doesn't log anything. I had a spammer try to sign up on my dev site as it's not behind a .htaccess at the minute while I test some things out, and the option set is manually approve when at least 1 of the warning flags are triggered. There was no log of this sign up, and as I rejected it, that doesn't appear to be logged any where either.Not running 1.2 RC1, but does it put data on moderation in logs, or only on rejection?
Still, would be nice to have a listing in the queue itself.
Particularly the bolded item.Spam Trigger Log
XF 1.2 introduced spam management tools that could cause content to be moderated or blocked entirely. Unfortunately, it was sometimes unclear how frequently these options were being triggered. Similarly, in some cases, it wasn't immediately obvious why the options were triggered.
XF 1.3 adds the spam trigger log to help resolve this. This has several parts:
- A general log view in the control panel. This allows you to get an overview of each time content (or a registration) has tripped the spam tools and why, along with full information in the request to help determine if it was tripped correctly.
- When viewing the list of users awaiting approval, if they were put there from an anti-spam option, this will now be displayed with additional information (if available).

In this video by 'Loving Life' we see how the Sun Newspaper in the United Kingdom ran an article regarding the horrific and violent farm attack that happened in Hankey, in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. A woman who was alone at home with her children was shot, raped and the children were brutalised and tied with wire. The family was assaulted and severely traumatised before being bundled into their car and taken to an ATM to draw money. The mainstream media outlet has greatly created awareness of the crisis that is ongoing in the country.
The mainstream media in the UK are now starting to take more interest in the horrific farm attacks and murders happening in South Africa. This is very good news for our cause.
