Sura Adoru
Sura Adoru is a small community in Samburu where I am working with two highly respected Samburu elders, John Jama Letipo and Isaiah Lemiruni and serves as the location for the Discipleship Training Center (DTC). The chief and elders of Sura Adoru generously donated five acres from their nature conservancy for the purpose of building the DTC facility, including a kitchen and latrines. This same acreage and facility will also serve for the site of a much needed school to be staffed by two Samburu women who have already been selected for training. This Samburu conservancy is a place of natural migration for many of the great animals of Kenya where for example, hundreds of elephants can be seen at one time!
I, John, will make Sura Adoru my base area of operation with the goal of developing training materials for the young men who will be involved in outreach to Samburu tribesmen scattered throughout the desert region. Part of the challenge for these young men is the fact that they are reaching individuals who communicate strictly by oral tradition. The Lord has given me a special love for the Samburu people, a marginalized group of pastoralist (shepherds) who need to know their Heavenly Father, the Great Shepherd! We have been given much favor and believe that the Lord has called us to be His expression of love in this place.
Current needs include:
- Construction of a bunkhouse
- Construction of staff house
- Construction of community well and small kiosk
- Teaching materials for the primary school
- Vegetable garden on the 5-acre compound
- Land Rover for transportation and delivery of food and medical supplies to remote areas

"Music of a rich, sinewy immersion, guided by a mutual sense of exploration, space and a very English kind of swing. It's an intimate, contemporary reinvention of the source material" - The Guardian
"In folk, it's the sound of what's to come" TheArtsDesk.com
Exactly a year after the release of their debut New Anything, English instrumental trio Leveret return with In The Round, a new live recording of instrumental music played spontaneously for a live audience. Recorded during one concert in an octagonal church in Derbyshire, the album continues Leveret's mission of rediscovering and re-imagining tunes from archive sources, and features the distinctive interaction between players for which their live performances are renowned.
Leveret comprises three of the top instrumentalists in English folk music. Fiddler Sam Sweeney is the current BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 'Musician of the Year', thanks to his work in Bellowhead, Eliza Carthy's Wayward Band, The Full English and his own Made In The Great War project. Melodeon genius Andy Cutting is a two-time winner of that award, and as well as his new trio with Martin Simpson and Nancy Kerr currently performs with Blowzabella, Topette, June Tabor, and Roger Daltry. Concertina wizard Rob Harbron is known for his work with The Full English (Best Group and Best Album BBC Folk Awards 2014), Emma Reid, Fay Hield, Jon Boden and others.
Leveret's work as a trio sounds unlike anything else. Their music is not arranged at all in the conventional sense; instead it is played entirely in the moment, combining consummate musicianship, compelling delivery and captivating spontaneity in a sound that is timeless and natural yet also fresh and contemporary. The material may come from archive sources and manuscripts, but there is nothing academic or historical about the sound: it's warm, listenable, engaging and refreshing, a massage for the ears.
The English folk tradition has not always valued its instrumental repertoire as highly as some of our neighbours, and yet the tunes exist in their thousands in manuscripts and archives. For every tune in current circulation, there are dozens more waiting to be rediscovered. Leveret's music has helped inspire a growing interest in instrumental music; In The Round doesn't always fit into what has come to be known as 'the English style' but it's without doubt a current and contemporary recording of English repertoire by three top-notch instrumentalists with deep roots in the tradition.
"Inspiringly good" fROOTS
"This glimmering set of instrumentals cuts unfailingly elegant lines" - The Sunday Times
"Classy players... their intuitive way with tunes is glorious" Mojo
"You won't find English folk music played better than this" R2

I went off the road and cut through an overgrown lane through the woods …
And a bear cub the size of a young Newfoundland cut across about 15 yards away, bounded into the tree line. I looked to my right, where he came from, in case mom was there.
She wasn't, she was a few feet to my left standing, arms wide. I've seen a lot of bears lately, some really close, this was the first one I've ever seen standing. Bears aren't nearly as cute standing as they are lurching away on all fours.
In the, er, ah, excitement of the moment, I never really saw this:
But I definitely saw this:

Volvo believes electric and plug-in hybrids could draw their power from car panels by sandwiching supercapacitors between two layers of carbon fiber. Volvo
Electric and hybrid vehicles are lauded as clean cars, but perhaps a better way of putting it is that they're cleaner cars. After all, unless you live near a volcano, electricity comes largely from coal and natural gas — your electric green machine may be zero-emission while you're driving but charging an electric vehicle (EV) battery means spewing carbon gas and particulate matter somewhere else. Also, the batteries that are used to power electric vehicles are heavy and take up valuable space.
The engineers over at AB Volvo (STO:VOLV-A) have tackled this problem by making the car itself out of material that can store and discharge electrical power.
Here's how it works: a thin layer of supercapacitors, which have long been considered the alternative to NiMH battery storage, is sandwiched between two layers of carbon fiber, the sturdy nanomaterial that's starting to show up on some high-end cars because of its light weight.

Publisher Description
An astonishing new voice in teen literature, writing what is sure to be one of the most talked-about debuts of the year.
Tyrell is a young African-American teen who can't get a break. He's living (for now) with his spaced-out mother and little brother in a homeless shelter. His father's in jail. His girlfriend supports him, but he doesn't feel good enough for her -- and seems to be always on the verge of doing the wrong thing around her. There's another girl at the homeless shelter who is also after him, although the desires there are complicated. Tyrell feels he needs to score some money to make things better. Will he end up following in his father's footsteps?
In her first novel, set in a Brooklyn ghetto, Booth conveys the frustration of a teenager who is trying to lead a better life despite all the pressures to do otherwise. Narrator 15-year-old Tyrell is in love with Novisha ("that's the only thing I got going for me right now") and dreams of the two living together. However Tyrell faces some major challenges. With his father in jail for the third time, Tyrell is homeless. He's living temporarily at the roach-infested Bennett Motel ("got rats the size of cats and shit"), sharing a room with his mother and little brother, Troy. He needs a way to make some money, but he wants to be sure it's legal: "I get locked up, Troy gonna end up back in the system." Using his father's DJ equipment, Tyrell forms a plan that could bring in a good chunk of money and get them back in an apartment. Using the voice of an inner-city teen, Booth keeps the story focused on Tyrell and his ups and downs as he struggles to do the right thing, and keeps the plot developments realistic especially Tyrell's relief after his brother is taken by the Administration for Children's Services, allowing him the opportunity of freedom ("Back home to the projects. Where I belong"). Tyrell's frank talk about sex may be offensive for some readers, but only adds to his character's credibility. Ages 12-up.

My 2008 Lincoln Mark LT Is Awesome
2008-07-03 04:12:37
My 2008 Lincoln Mark LT pick-up truck continues to be an awesome performer and rider. I had doubts that it would worth the extra money for a "luxury" pick-up truck, but it definitely is. There is little room for comparison between the Mark LT and your regular pick-up trucks. The luxury items, leather appointments, smooth ride, responsive handling and power are fantastic.If you are looking for a real step up from your basic, everyday pick-up truck, the Mark LT is it.

Just a Little More South of the Border for Spring Break
Spring break is right around the corner, and college students everywhere want to get as far away from school as they can. The problem is, most of us are also more or less broke. This raises the serious question of how to get out of Dodge without going into debt.
While geographically not that far from Irvine, Mexico is still another country, and it is my suggestion for the budding undergrad traveler.
After you successfully dodge the onrush of cars from every direction immediately after crossing the border, I recommend following the signs that say either 'Scenic Route' or 'Coastal Highway' (they alternate but are talking about the same road) until you're just past Rosarito.
Skip the usual spots where most 18-to-20-year-olds waste their trip on getting trashed

Hi there!
If you knew how many face masks I've stuffed in my beauty drawer you would think a whole pack of skincare fanatics lived in my little apartment, but you'd be wrong, there's just little old me!
I've never understood those people who can't leave the house or go to the office without a full face of makeup, but I'll totally stay up past midnight doing an insanely complicated Korean beauty routine!
My train of thought is that keeping a consistent skincare routine gives long-term results as opposed to spending hours painting a temporary look on. That isn't to say I never get primped up for a night out, I do every once in a while.
It seems like a new bizarre face mask hits the internet every day, we've gone from magnetic masks, bubbling formulas, to rubber masks and although they look like a lot of fun it's hard to tell what will actually be beneficial to your skin type!
This post contains affiliate links; if you snag a deal through my link it will send some spare change my way to keep this slice of the internet up and running.
Here's how to pick the right face mask for your skin type:
I'm going to break down these suggestions into four categories:
- Dry
- Combination
- Acne Prone
- Sensitive
What kind of face mask is good for combination skin?
Let's start with my skin type which is combination. Instead of applying a mask meant for oily skin everywhere when only your t-zone gets oily you can try multi-masking!
Multi-masking is when you apply different masks on specific areas of your face, for example, I'd use a charcoal mud mask for my oily t-zone and moisturizing collagen mask for my under eyes. Allure wrote a great guide here. It doesn't hurt to use moisturizing masks all over, but if you're not oily everywhere it can wreak havoc to use a heavy duty clay mask where it's not needed. You can also use a mask around another product like an undereye patch.
What are the Best Face Masks for Acne Prone Skin?
I used to have extremely blemish prone skin which is the main reason I got fascinated by the world of skincare so young. Face masks are a great addition to add to your skincare routine to help keep your skin under control!
If you struggle with blackheads, exfoliating masks are going to be your best friend. There are quite a few masks that double moisturizing with exfoliating. Skinfood has an awesome mask that I reviewed here. First, you let the mask sit on the skin 10-15 minutes to take advantage of it's moisturizing benefits, then you massage it in to exfoliate your skin. Freeman Beauty's Black Sugar Scrub mask is the bomb as well, the sugar acts as a built-in timer because you just keep scrubbing until it dissolves into your skin 🙂
Here are the best face masks for oily skin types
Clay masks are a godsend for oily skin, one of my favorites is an avocado oatmeal clay mask from Freeman Beauty. Whenever I'm feeling extra shiny I'll bust this mask out and it's just the thing to solve my skin woes.
Even if you have oily skin you have to moisturize after using a mask, especially a drying one! I know it seems counterintuitive, but if you leave your skin dry it can actually cause your system to overcompensate and produce extra oil and sebum and leave you worse off than where you started.
What kind of face mask is best for sensitive skin?
If your skin is easily irritated I'd recommend you steer towards cream, gel, and sheet masks. If you notice a certain product irritates your skin, take a look at the main ingredients and keep them in mind the next time you're shopping around so you can avoid them.
Charcoal is usually touted as a great ingredient for oily skin but I've found if there is too much of it in a mask it's not great for my skin. It boils down to trial and error, but if you keep track of past offenders it becomes easy to avoid problem-child formulas and save yourself unnecessary irritation.
If you find a serum that you're loving you can also make a DIY sheet mask to get an extra boost. You can buy dry sheet masks that come compressed into a small tablet, then just add your desired serum and voila! you have a custom-tailored sheet mask just the way you like it!
The Best Face Masks for Dry Skin Types
Moisturizing is the name of the game if you're battling dry skin. Ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and glycolic acid are wonderful to banish dull skin and leave you feeling moisturized. Elizavecca has an awesome collagen mask that has done wonders for my dry skin during the winter, I love using this while taking a long bath. It does have a tendency to drip, so be careful with this one!
What's your go-to face mask for your skin type? Let me know in the comments!

What I'm Learning About Love
If you have never watched Love and Basketball or Love Jones, there are spoilers ahead.
I love romantic movies. I especially love classic Black romances. Discovering them was a game-changer. The Notebook was great, but The Wood, The Best Man, and Love Jones offered me visions of a life that I could actually live. They showed me what friendship, young adulthood, and, of course, love could be like for a Black girl like me. These movies showed me that all of the parts of me that I never saw in a Nicholas Sparks' film could be loved too.
Black love films mean everything to me. I've watched them so many times that I know the scenes by heart. I know that when Monica finally reunites with Q when she visits him in the hospital in Love and Basketball that Tyra Banks will come in and ruin the whole thing. I know that Dre is making a huge mistake when he chooses to marry Reese instead of being with Sidney in Brown Sugar. I know the heart-wrenching moments are coming—every time. I see them coming so early in the movie, I can't even enjoy the process of the characters falling in love anymore because I know the heartbreak these characters will endure in the scenes after. And even though, these are just characters in movies, I feel for them—every time.
I was watching Love Jones (again) the other night. From the opening scene when Darius performs "A Blues for Nina" all the way to when Darius and Nina (Nia Long) are dancing and finally back together, I could only think about the break up scene in Darius's apartment. I couldn't fully enjoy the thrill of their romance because every moment that the couple fell deeper in love, I winced and braced myself a little more for the heartache that I knew was coming.
The stories have become almost too familiar to me. I've realized that I see the same thing happen in real life. Although not every romance ends with a kiss in the rain, when people fall in love—it seems—heartbreak will certainly follow. Sometimes, like in the movies, the heartbreak isn't enough to keep the couple from finding each other again. Sometimes, it does work out, but no love story is perfect—in movies or in real life. I know that much. The hard part is figuring out how to enjoy the build-up, the falling in love part of the relationship, without expecting or preparing for the heartbreak part.
Opening myself up to be excited about the possibility of love requires that I make myself vulnerable to the possibility of being disappointed, hurt, or heartbroken. Too often I find myself (and my friends) giving up on a relationship before it has even started. And it's because we're scared.
We're terrified of the idea of being hurt—especially over a man. That's not what we do. We're stronger than that. A boy isn't going to make us feel any type of way and shouldn't be able to make us look stupid. That's not who we are.
Except it is what we do, we're not always stronger than that, a person who we're falling in love with will make us feel some type of way, and we might end up looking stupid because we're not perfect.
And that's okay. We—as women—as Black women—have to learn to forgive ourselves for feeling something other than pride or happiness or confidence. We are strength and resilience and magic, but we are also human. We love and we hurt. While we don't need to let one person ruin our lives forever, blinding us from the all of the good that exists in our life, we cannot deny ourselves sadness or grief when it comes. We have to recognize our full humanity—understanding that people will make us feel things—sometimes awful things—especially when we love them. But in order to fall in love, we have to be willing to let love work—and fail.
I want to know what it feels like to fall in love. I want the nervous, exciting, butterflies in the pit of my stomach feeling of falling in love to be as familiar to me as those movies, which means I have to stop bracing myself for the heartache and enjoy the show.

Northeast production growth, the primary driver of overall gains in U.S. natural gas output in recent years, has largely stalled in 2016. Rig counts in the Marcellus/Utica dropped to near six-year lows, and the region has been facing constraints—from takeaway capacity and in the past month or two from storage injection capacity. But market factors are again about to roil the Northeast: 1) winter heating demand is on its way, and 2) more takeaway capacity has come online in the past month and still more is coming before the year is up. Today, we review recent Northeast natural gas production trends using pipeline flow data from Genscape and assess factors that will impact regional production this winter.

DEL TORO Seeking To Talk About A HELLBOY 3 With MIGNOLA & PERLMAN
Director Guillermo Del Toro has added fuel to a possible fire for Hellboy 3, tweeting that he's ready to meet with actor Ron Perlman about reprising his role as Hellboy. Del Toro also indicated that the next step would be to meet with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola about the potential sequel.
The previous Hellboy film, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, was released in theaters in 2008. Since then, it has been unclear if a third film was in development, despite Hellboy II's twist ending, which portended a sequel. Last year, Mignola went on record saying "I'll believe it when I see it. There's nothing I can do to make those things happen."
Back in July 2015, Del Toro said Hellboy 3 wasn't being made at the time due to Legandary Pictures, which owns the film rights to Hellboy, balking at the $120m budget he had proposed. The director did go on to say, however, that should his planned 2018 film Pacific Rim: Uprising (also at Legendary) do well, Hellboy 3 could be greenlit. Since then, however, Legendary Pictures has gone under new management.
Del Toro began this new process of contacting Perlman and Mignola about Hellboy 3 after tweeting a poll to his followers asking if there was a demand.

An Orthodox Argument against the Catholic Church Considered
The argument is not an important one in the grand scheme of things, but I see it thrown around so much that I think it's time somebody said something about it. The argument goes like this: Orthodox churches have better liturgy, and a good community life. All people who attend Orthodox liturgies are faithful to the Traditions of their Church, and all of them practice ascesis on a regular basis. Catholics, on the other hand, have a mixed bag of liturgies, a mix community life, and have catechetical problems while simultaneously having few church-goers practice ascesis with a proper degree of severity. Orthodoxy seems like it has less problems than the Catholic Church, and while the number of people who go to Liturgies is small, the people who go are very faithful. Catholicism cannot make that claim, and it's liturgical, doctrinal, and ascetic life are a mess.
At first, it seems like a pretty powerful argument: Orthodoxy seems to be a better saint producing machine than Catholicism. Still others claim that it shows that the Catholic Church is slowly going down the toilet, whereas the Orthodox Church, free from doctrinal dissent, is held up as a model of Truth in all its splendor. And yet, the picture is not so rosy as it first seems.
First, for the smaller points regarding ascesis. In America, the Orthodox have the advantage of being able to complain more: large communions of people tend to be less tight-knit than smaller groups. It's just a brute sociological fact that smaller communities are closer communities. There is a good reason why the early Church was able to be so successful in having such a large percentage of her members live a full, Christian life. In addition, the faults of larger groups are much more readily apparent to the public eye than private ones. If the Orthodox in America had massive, fish frys (which sometimes seem to defeat the purpose of meatless Fridays of penance) or other practices which seem to miss the point of Lent, I wouldn't know about them because I don't see many Orthodox parishes. Consequently, all of the Orthodox in America can get on their soapbox and complain about how terrible their larger group of cousins behave.
And yet, is the Orthodox Church any better in Russia, where the number of Orthodox practictioners is much greater? Is the Orthodox Church making a large number of saints out of the 80% of the population that calls themselves Orthodox? Certainly not: the masses of people who claim to be Orthodox in heavily Orthodox areas are just as lazy and lukewarm in their faith as lukewarm Catholics in America. Greater emphasis on ascesis among the Orthodox? In some ways, yes; in others, no. Whenever a church is heavily based on converts entering into already small communions like the Orthodox communion is in the United States, of course the ascetic practices of its members are going to be greater. On the other hand, no matter what the Orthodox may stress, a large chunk of any large population will ignore the requests of priests to perform self-sacrifices, or fail to push themselves as hard as they should. And there just aren't enough priests around to be looking over everyone's shoulders to gently nudge his people to take their penances further, or study the lives of the saints more frequently, etc. There will be more on this in the following paragraphs.
Next, the complaint is that America is having doctrinal problems. Let's go back to Russia for a minute. Last time I looked at the statistics, 2% of the population goes to church every Sunday, and 2% of the population practices ascesis (I generously interpret those stats to mean that 100% of that 2% are faithful, practicing Orthodox). And yet, 80% of the people in Russia call themselves Orthodox. In America, we have the same percentage of nominal Catholics and practicing Catholics, but more people going to Mass every week: 30% of our people go to Mass every week, and, while I don't have numbers on who practices ascesis, 5-10% of Catholics oppose birth control (which seems like a pretty decent indicator of who is faithful and obedient to the Church and who is not). So really, both sides are producing the same number of faithful Christians (percentage wise), which is outstanding giving the respective anti-Christian societies that Russia and America have. But if both Churches have such a small percentage of their flock that actually heed and obey the teachings of their Churches, why is it such a bad thing for Catholics to also have so many of those lukewarm sheep coming to Mass every Sunday? At least we have 30% of the population going to Mass on Sundays.
Many people in the pews are uneducated in regards to the faith, granted; but as I think I've indicated–and I have no doubt further research would confirm–the Orthodox have just as many people who claim to be Orthodox, and yet are uneducated and lukewarm. Why does no one accuse them of having doctrinal problems? Don't they have the same percentage of lukewarm adherents? The only difference between the Catholic unfaithful and the Orthodox unfaithful is that a large chunk of Catholic unfaithful go to Mass every Sunday. So…why is that such a bad thing? If a small Orthodox parish suddenly has 300 lukewarm, sinful, fallen sheep come to their parish every Sunday for Mass, would they not be happy at this chance to evangelize? Would the Orthodox prefer them not to come to celebrate the Eucharist every Sunday because these lost sheep did not yet practice the Orthodox praxis to the fullest of their abilities?
Unfortunately, educated Catholic laymen and priests are not doing enough to educate their lost sheep, a situation which must be rectified; however, we have that golden opportunity to get people involved, an opportunity which the Orthodox in both Russia and America do not have. The very fact that we have a bunch of near-pagan butts in the pews means we have a harvest of near-pagans ready to be harvested by Jesus. In my large home parish of 2500 families, I've seen many-a lukewarm Catholic come back to a fuller faith because they were invited to do so and were taught how to practice the faith. The very fact that they are present at Mass gives faithful, holy men and women a chance to show them the love of Christ.
So in conclusion: I think it is a bad argument to say that the Orthodox are producing better quality individuals than the Catholic Church. I also think that it is unfair to accuse Catholics of having doctrinal, ascesis, etc problems. As far as I can tell, the Orthodox in Russia have just as big of a doctrinal and ascetic problem as we do: it just so happens that a large chunk of our fallen away Catholics go to Mass every Sunday. While this may create some liturgical problems (which have a) improved greatly the further away from VII we get, and b) fewer liturgical abuses now that the tumultuous past decades have subsided), I am at a loss as to why this somehow lends ammo to Orthodoxy's cannons. If the Orthodox want to boast because our sinners are more visible than their sinners because ours are at Mass every week, they may want to find a better hobby.

And my point is simply that, whether it's observed or not, ascesis is part of the official practice of Orthodoxy, and (in my experience) it's regularly preached. So those who don't observe it, at least know they're not observing something that's considered integral to their faith. For myself, I feel I need the example and exhortation of those around me to help me with things like fasting. Joe

What I found to be true in my own spiritual journey is the old saying, the proof is in the pudding. To whom does waking up early to pray a little extra, fasting, sleeping on the floor, avoiding the latest exciting movie release, foregoing that desired purchase to pick up some cans of food for the local shelter appeal? That sort of thing does not appeal to people now days, nor has it ever. I used to carry a romantic idea about the formation of ascetic practice and the devotion of the saints and thought all of Christianity was totally into ascesis until I read some of the writings of the church doctors. They were telling the flock to avoid the exact same things that plague America today! That was in the Third and Fourth Centuries! There is nothing new under the sun, Greek or Roman.
Unfortunatly the grievences of the Orthodox Christians are far greater and deeper engrained than ascesis. The problem is that both churches claim the legitamacy of history and both stubornly refuse to acknowledge the legitamacy of the other. It is a sad state of affairs – the division of the East and West. And over what, semantics, the authority of the pope, the conception of the Holy Mother? How do those things truly affect the salvation of our souls? I do think we are in direct violation of Jesus' commands when we keep our brothers at arms length because of semantics.

Major kudos go to Frank for recently sharing a live clip of Hum performing "I'd Like Your Hair Long" on 120 Minutes. Merely watching this performance reminded me of how powerful this band was and why. The deal is (and sad thing as well), bands like Hum seem to fall into a weird category with people. It's a category that is filled with all sorts of '90s alt-rock bands that are not as well remembered today. It's as if they fell into a black hole.
In Hum's case, their single, "Stars," received some very nice airplay back in '95. Not only did you hear the song on modern rock radio, a portion of its video was featured on Beavis & Butt-head. Their album, You'd Prefer an Astronaut, reportedly racked up sales of 250,000 copies. It was no small feat and there was a lot of promise for its follow-up. The deal was, despite Downward is Heavenward being a better album, its sales figures were far less than Astronaut. The band quietly went away in 2000, but did a one-off reunion a few years later.
What bugs me to no end with rock history is how people tend to make light of the years between '94 and '01. A whole hell of a lot happened during that time, but to a modern, populist audience, it seems rather scatter-brained. Trends like pop-punk, ska-punk, big band swing, and electronica were just some of them. Radiohead's The Bends and OK Computer came out during this time for crying out loud. But for so many alt-rock bands that enjoyed mainstream success during the mid-'90s, they seem more or less as cult favorites. I'm talking Hum, Sponge, Veruca Salt, Tripping Daisy and even Seven Mary Three.
Why I want to make sure that people don't forget these bands is simple. Seeing what I've seen with nostalgia and how it packages history so concisely, this time is more than likely to be glossed over. In other words, the next installment of The History of Rock 'n' Roll will go from Nirvana to Green Day and then the Strokes and White Stripes. Just like how it went from the Sex Pistols to Nirvana and hip-hop, there were some crucial years seen merely as developing years. That, in my opinion, is nonsense.
No, you will not find You'd Prefer an Astronaut or Downward is Heavenward as influential as Nevermind or Dookie were to a populist audience, but that doesn't mean they were some cult flukes. In the case of Hum, they were a band that effectively used spacey atmospherics, thick and colorful guitars, busy drumming and conversational vocals. I'm firmly aware that doesn't make them easily typecast, but that's fine by me. What isn't fine by me is tossing them off and forgetting them.

You should never forget people you've tossed off... hehehe
"Here's a little number I tossed off recently in the Caribbean."
Hum is fantastic. bands that you see with their influences are Deftones(the newer stuff) and Chevelle. There's even bands around here that reference bands like Hum, Quicksand, Helmet, Shiner, Failure and other smart hard rock bands. Personally that is one of my favorite genres, when done right. I would love to be in a band like that.

Bar LunÀtico is thrilled to host Samir Langus in a night of Moroccan gnawa music accompanied by dancers and trumpet!
Samir was born and raised in the city of Agadir, Morocco. Music has always been a part of the constant variety of street sounds of his city, from merchants to entertainers and calls to prayer. Langus began learning Gnawa, a traditional, spiritual trance music, when he was 8 years old from the Gnawa masters of Morocco. Since moving to New York City, Langus has played all across the city in venues such as Barbes, Lincoln Center, Brookyn Bowl, and the Music Hall of Williamsburg.


text: My parents came from Mexico to the United States, both at a young age after getting married in search of better job opportunities. Farm working was the only option available for immigrants who were coming into the United States. Ever since they arrived to the United States until this day they have been working in the fields doing hard physical labor that is starting to become overwhelming to them with age. All of my aunts and uncles along with my parents have always worked in the fields, trying to make enough money to bring food to the table. They do it to give my brother and I a better life economically compared to what they had, which I am very appreciative about. My father and mother go from one job to another in farm labor depending on the season, when one job ends they go looking for another one its like a never ending cycle of hard physical labor. On days in which it rains or its too hot to work they get told there will be no work for that day, which is bad because that only means there check for that week will only be less than what it already is. My family and I have gone through financial hardships but we manage to always make it work by limiting ourselves in how we use our money. My only hope is to graduate form college with a career that will help me get my family out of so many financial struggles.

Parsons scoops DuBiotech masterplan
Parsons to masterplan DuBioTech
Parsons will masterplan the Dubai Biotechnology and Research Park (DuBiotech) — Dubai's free zone which is dedicated to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors. The company will draw up designs for the 300 hectare mixed-use scheme. This will include the design of the underlying support infrastructure required for the park, such as electricity, water and communications. Parsons will also provide an environmental impact statement and will conduct traffic analysis within the site and the surrounding area. A DuBiotech team led by Dr Abdulqader Al Khayat, executive director of DuBiotech, met with senior officials from Parsons and consultant CUH2A last week, as part of an extensive business mission to the US, UK and Europe. Al Khayat said: "As part of our ongoing efforts to prepare the groundwork for our business partners to expand the biotechnology industry at DuBiotech, we are looking to work closely with Parsons and CUH2A to establish a world-class infrastructure that will handle the diverse requirements of the biopharma industry." Over the next few months, DuBiotech will be actively working to establish and promote links with the global biotech community. The view is to forge affiliations and partnerships with renowned universities and institutions.

This is another tweet playing with the "opening line of my life story" tweet meme. In this case, we are describing a line using the function "sine." That's the wavy line that goes up and down around the horizontal axis. It starts at zero, goes up to one, goes back down through zero, all the way to negative one, and back up to zero. Then it repeats.
So that's most of the joke. If you believe in reincarnation, then your life line would repeat. Like a sine wave.
While the sine wave starts at zero and goes up, there is a similar wave called the cosine wave, that starts at one and goes down. If you saw the movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" then you know the idea is that the main character starts old and gets younger. The cosine starts high and goes down, hence it is like old Ben getting younger as time goes on.
Homework: Go make a tweet about the homophones cosine and cosign. People will think you're hilarious. (They won't. They really won't.)

The Outright Essentials Of Getting Older With Elegance
Unless you have found a way to operate a time machine or defy the laws of reality, you are going to experience getting older as we all do. This means fine lines may begin to appear, wrinkles, blemishes, or more serious health-related problems. However, while we may not be able to defy getting older, we can certainly combat its effects with some sound advice.
Try to spread cheer wherever you go. You can improve your mood and self-esteem by http://usd5.com/?content-author-Candice-Bragg-how-to-run-a-popular-health-tips-website-like-second-nature.html passing happiness and love to other people. Happiness is a gift that is worth so much, yet it is free to give.
Keep your fruit intake high. Fruits are a great source of antioxidants, which help inhibit the growing older process of our cells. They are also a great source of other vitamins that provide a host of benefits to our getting older bodies. Use fruit as your desert instead of sugar filled treats as an easy way of getting them in your diet.
If you can, make sure you're including a decent amount of fish in your diet. The omega-3 fatty acids that are most commonly found in fish have been shown to aid skin development. This can keep your skin looking smooth and young much longer. If you're allergic to fish, look into omega-3 supplements.
If you want a tasty way to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, try adding soy to your diet. Soy contains calcium and plant estrogens which help prevent the loss of bone density. You can use soy flour in your favorite recipes, snack on soy nuts, or use soy milk and cheeses.
Living can be very hard work. Even if you do not have a job outside of the home, it is https://wellnessmama.com/60867/benefits-of-collagen/ going to take it out of you some days. Take the time to rest now and then. You could do this every day if your schedule permits but if it does not, be sure to rest and relax at least a couple times a week.
Our hectic times tend to push us into pointless, repetitive activity. Resist this. Take control of this precious time given you in old age. Read a deeply meaningful book. Reach out to someone in need, someone you wouldn't have met during your working life, and give each other the gift of appreciation and understanding.
Make friends. Go out and meet new people. This will help bring a sense of newness to your life that you may be lacking, as well as give you new experiences to look forward to. Making new friends can have a wonderful effect on your mental attitude, as well as give you more activities to do.
As you get older, your metabolism slows down, so what you eat counts more. Strive to make every calorie count. You still need to meet dietary requirements of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, but since your system can't handle as many calories as it used to, it's even more important to make healthy choices and avoid as much junk food as you can.
A critical factor to prevent growing older and increase lifespan is to not smoke. Smoking destroys the body and speeds up the aging process. Smoking is the easiest way to look older and shorten your lifespan at the same time. It causes disease, ages the skin, and is overall one of the main preventable killers known to man.
Identify something you have always wanted to learn and take lessons or read about it. Whether it is playing a musical instrument or just learning more about a particular subject, continuing your education either formally or informally is a great way to keep your mind and body active and engaged.
Know the signs of depression. As you get older, you may experience changes that leave you feeling down. If your feelings of sadness don't go away, it might be depression. Talk to a doctor if you have persistent feelings of hopelessness and especially if you think about suicide or death.
A great tip to prevent getting older is to include lots of vitamin E in your diet. Vitamin E is great for the skin as it helps your skin maintain its elasticity. One of the tell tale signs of growing older is looser skin so including vitamin E in your diet will keep your skin nice and tight.
When caring for an aged family member who has Alzheimer's disease, many caretakers have found it helpful to write daily in a journal. Writing out fears, hopes, and personal goals can help release anxiety, guilt and stress. It is also a way to document the blessings that occur with this journey.
Take anti-oxidants or eat foods that contain it often. Free radicals are one of the culprits of growing older, and you can neutralize them this way. Darker fruits and veggies have more antioxidants; choose squash, beets, berries, and spinach.
Exercise regularly. Exercise slows down the process of growing older. It keeps muscle healthy and strong as well as allows you to maintain stamina. It also prevents the loss of balance and bone density as you get older. Try to keep impact to a minimum and create an aerobic and strength based routine.
If your aging joints and muscles cannot handle the beating of a regular exercise program and even walking causes so much pain you just give up, try water exercise as a great alternative! Water exercise is fun,and its natural buoyancy is easy on those painful, arthritic joints!
Sexual health is important for leading a long life and reducing the effects of growing older. A healthy sex life contributes to overall health by reducing stress and releasing hormones in the body. It also leads to better mental health and causes a general sense of well-being for an improved quality of life.
Being confident in who you are and what you look like is important regardless of if you are 16 or 85. The benefit of getting older is that we often get wiser along with it, and can realize what is truly important in life. This article has given you lots of ideas for how you can embrace your age, and look your best at the same time.

Over the years there have been many romantic comedies that tried to subvert their own genre - from When Harry Met Sally to No Strings Attached. Despite pages upon pages of wry commentary and gentle mocking of romance tropes, however, even the most meta-humorous of these romcoms have a tendency to snap back into formula by the time they reach their closing chapter. Men and women can be just friends, and they can be just friends with benefits, but not as far as Hollywood is concerned.
The number of well-known romcoms where the guy doesn't get the girl (or vice versa) can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand, and based on the trailer it doesn't look like Playing it Cool (formerly titled A Many Splintered Thing), a new romcom starring Chris Evans and Michelle Monaghan, will be pushing the genre onto a second-hand. Evans plays a screenwriter who is trying to write a romance movie (no, really) but is hampered by the fact that he doesn't believe in love.
That changes when Evans' character meets a woman (Monaghan) whom he instantly falls for, but discovers that she's already attached to a handsome fiancé (Ioan Gruffudd). Aided by a circle of friends with different perspectives on the subject of love (Anthony Mackie, Aubrey Plaza, Luke Wilson and Topher Grace), Evans' character attempts to stay just friends, but finds himself wanting more.
Perhaps it's just the way that the trailer is edited which makes Playing it Cool look painfully generic - kind of like a version of They Came Together, except not intended as a joke - but aside from its leading man there's little about this movie that really catches the eye. The trailer also appears to spoil most of the plot, making no secret of the fact that Evans and Monaghan's characters end up getting very close. It's possible that Playing it Cool might pull the rug out from under the audience's feet in the same way that (500) Days of Summer did, but don't bet on it.
Playing it Cool doesn't look like it has much chance of breaking through the romantic comedy formula, but for those who don't mind that formula it looks pretty serviceable for a date night movie. And if that isn't enough to convince you to watch it, bear in mind that this is probably the only chance you'll get to see Captain America, Falcon, Mr Fantastic and Venom all together in the same movie.
Playing it Cool does not currently have a US release date.

Christina Cauterucci, "Incel Memes Aren't a Joke"
"Incel culture has flourished online, where like-minded men post unsigned messages on Reddit, 4chan, and incel message boards, describing their most sinister fantasies about worlds in which women are collected like tax dollars and redistributed for sex."
Emily Contois, "I Was Trolled – Here's Why I'm Turning It into a Teaching Opportunity"
"Food in particular tells us much about gender and power in U.S. society, and gendered online abuse is no exception. It's not a coincidence that one of the most cited academic papers on the topic of online misogyny by Professor Emma A. Jane is titled 'Back to the kitchen, cunt: speaking the unspeakable about online misogyny'."

"Transgender activists rubbish claims they cause female spaces to be compromised, while feminists say they want to 'protect girls'."

"Women academics cite long pattern of sexual improprieties at the hands of Steven M. Cohen, who has expressed 'remorse' for his actions."
Ashley Fetters, "Americans Have Some Pretty Vanilla Sexual Fantasies"
"A new book on the science of sexual desire finds Americans are surprisingly romantic and loyal to their partners when they fantasize about sex."
Aura S. Jirau, "Storming Through Research: Historical Production in Post-María Puerto Rico"
"While conditions for historical production were dire before, the storm deteriorated them even further. Research facilities and libraries with meager resources faced flooded buildings and loss of power, putting collections and archives at risk."
"Lebanon: Same-Sex Relations Not Illegal"
"A district court of appeal in Lebanon issued a groundbreaking ruling on July 12, 2018, that consensual sex between people of the same sex is not unlawful, Human Rights Watch said."

Liz Plank, "Should Giving Women Oral Sex be Mandatory for Men?"
"Can a man refuse to go down on a woman and still be someone we all don't collectively shame into oblivion? Judging by the Twitter reactions to [DJ Khaled's] comments, the answer is a pretty strong and resounding no."
Anne Thériault, "How Being a Girl Guide Informed My Budding Feminism"
"In a world that seemed as if it was increasingly trying to convince me that women needed men, Guiding was the first place where I realized we could take care of ourselves just fine."

"Campaigners have criticised delays to the introduction of a new sex and relationships curriculum that will now not be made compulsory in schools in England until September 2020."
Joseph Wilson, "It's Not A Sex-Ed Curriculum, It's A Health Curriculum, And Our Kids Need It"
"Recently, Ontario's new Premier, Doug Ford, followed through on one of his campaign promises to repeal the previous provincial government's 'sex-ed curriculum' and reverting to the version that was last updated in 1998. But there is no such thing as a 'sex-ed curriculum'."
Article Spotlight
Rachel Hope Cleves, "Six Ways of Looking at a Trans Man? The Life of Frank Shimer (1826–1901)." Journal of the History of Sexuality 27, no. 1 (2018): 32-62. https://muse.jhu.edu/
Throughout Shimer's life—as she grew up in upstate New York, attended normal school in Albany, moved to frontier Illinois for a teaching job, served as an influential college president, retired to Florida, helped launch the citrus industry, and lived out her final days—she consistently expressed characteristics that those around her understood to be masculine. However, over her lifetime the meaning of that masculinity and, consequently, the meaning of her identity as a woman changed repeatedly. This essay examines the shifting meanings of female masculinity during Shimer's lifetime, drawing attention to gender's historical incoherency in order to situate Shimer's life within trans history. It follows the lead of scholars who have argued that attention to process rather than identity provides the best approach to writing transgender history avant la lettre.
Episode Spotlight
Chances are you've never heard of Ruth Wallis, one of the greatest singers, comedians, and performers of sexually suggestive lyrics in the postwar United States. Most of her catalogue remains on vinyl and historians have forgotten her. But from the 1940s until the early 1970s, Ruth Wallis was a bestselling performer and a mainstay at supper clubs and hotels. At a time when it was legally risky for entertainers to sing about sexuality for profit and pleasure, Ruth sold millions of records that used innuendo to playfully hint at a variety of straight and queer sexual pleasures.

Hysteria's "Freedom Hangover"
"In this episode, we discuss the idea of freedom and reproductive rights, plus a conversation about what's going on at the U.S. – Mexico border. Then, we answer listener questions in a segment called Dude You Asked and close out the show with recommendations for cool stuff women are doing and making."
Truths be Told's "Hook Ups"
"Lindsay and her guests share their most notable hook up/one-night stand experiences and have an in depth discussion about hook up culture."
"Erotos, the 1993 Series by Nobuyoshi Araki That Saw Sexuality Everywhere"
"Turning his lens to both nature and the manmade world, Araki delineates the glistening sexuality in an open oyster; the curved form of a thick pipe screwed into the wall; an overripe fig; a wilting sunflower."

What would I do if I were diagnosed with cancer? This is a question that I have thought about since November 21, 1998 when my father lost his battle with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I assume that the immediate response for most Americans would be fear, but for myself, I would choose a different tactic. I have never been the type of person who gives up. I don't quit and I am very competitive by nature. To me, cancer would be an obstacle, not a death sentence. We live in the United States of America. This is the land of opportunity. A cancer diagnosis would mean that I need to search the country for the best doctors, scientists and researchers who are working at fighting this potentially deadly disease every day. A diagnosis would mean that life would change, not end. I believe in the power of the mind and positive thinking. I believe that a person's attitude shapes their day. I would maintain a positive attitude, lightly colored with humor, and journey across the country to discover methods of treatment that would prolong my life and eventually lead to a cure. I know the devastating effects that a cancer diagnosis brings to a family. I lived it firsthand. As part of my treatment I would speak with people I meet on my travels, hold workshops and develop a fundraiser for those who are affected by cancer. To me, treatment doesn't necessarily mean medicine or chemotherapy. In writing this I am reminded of a dream I once had; a dream that involved me writing a book. My book would be of my life; my life after cancer. I would document my days as if I were writing a journal. I would record conversations with other survivors or family members who have been affected by the disease so that I may go back to them later and turn them into paper. The book would be about a journey; the journey from diagnosis to treatment to life. All proceeds of the book would go to research; research for alternative ways to fight cancer and live a better life. Many days I think of my father. I wonder about the decisions he made after his diagnosis. I was away at college most of his fight, but one thing that I remember was his attitude. He was positive. He didn't give up. He fought until the end. I would take his positivity and show the world that there isn't just one outcome from a cancer diagnosis. I would prove to the world that there isn't just one outcome from a cancer diagnosis.

House Passes Resolution To Support Iran Protesters
The resolution also "condemns the ongoing violence against demonstrators by the Government of Iran and pro-government militias, as well as the ongoing government suppression of independent electronic communication through interference with the Internet and cellphones." It also "affirms the universality of individual rights and the importance of democratic and fair elections."
Co-sponsored by Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.) and Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), the resolution passed by a vote of 405 to 1. Rep. Ron Paul, a Texas libertarian, cast the sole opposing vote. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has introduced a similar resolution in the Senate.
The resolutions come on the same day Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei effectively ruled out the possibility of holding a new presidential election, even though countless Iranian citizens have taken to the streets in protest of the June 12 election. Protesters have held massive street rallies for days, contending the election was rigged in favor of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the detriment of opposition candidate, Mir Hossein Mousavi. Khamenei warned of a crackdown if protests continue.
President Obama has cautiously addressed the situation, saying on Tuesday, "It's not productive, given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling – the U.S. president meddling in Iranian elections."
The president has taken heat from some for not speaking out more forcefully in support of the protesters.
"It is unfortunate in a way that this resolution is required since the administration does not want to — quote — meddle and has refused, the president has refused to speak out in support of these brave Iranian citizens, most of them young, who are risking their very lives to protest what was clearly an unfair and corrupt election," McCain said when he introduced the resolution, CNN reports.
One Mousavi supporter, in an interview with Foreign Policy magazine, said Mr. Obama -- with the help of Mousavi -- would be able to open up more constructive dialogue between the two countries. Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Mousavi's external spokesman, called Mousavi the "Obama of Iran."
"Now that [the United States] has Obama, we have our Bush here [in Iran]. In order to resolve the problems between the two countries, we should have two Obamas on the two sides. It doesn't mean that everything depends on these two people, but this is one of the main factors," he said.

The U.S. Government Kicks in for the United Airlines Bankruptcy
From Caroline Daniel of the Financial Times:
FT.com / Transport / Airlines - US to assume pension plans at United : United Airlines has reached an agreement with the federal agency that insures defined benefit pension plans to transfer $6.6bn in pension liabilities, marking the biggest pension transfer to the government.... The agreement with the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation comes after United reached an impasse with some unions over its need to terminate pension plans.... According to the PBGC, United's pension plans are underfunded by $9.8bn. Of this, the government will assume $6.6bn in liabilities, with the shortfall representing the loss in promised pension benefits for employees. The PBGC's largest previous claim was in 2002, when Bethlehem Steel terminated its defined benefit plans, at a cost of $3.6bn.... The agreement, which needs approval from the bankruptcy judge, would make the PBGC the trustee of four separate defined benefit plans at United. Further details which could include the PBGC being granted an equity stake in United will be released next week, ahead of a court hearing on May 4...
