Unemployment is never a good situation to be in. For ~25 years the direct membrane acting, non-genomic, variety of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) have been in want of a credible function. Even the existence of a membrane MR (mMR) and membrane GR (mGR) was questioned. Recent data suggest this is changing; mMR and mGR are located in synapses and surrounding space of rapidly plastic dendritic spines (Prager et al., 2010; Komatsuzaki et al., 2012; Yoshiya et al., 2013). Emerging evidence, reviewed below, links mGR activation to rapid changes in dendritic spine size and number. These structural changes can be both experimentally induced and are also naturally induced during circadian fluctuations in corticosterone levels, and are rapidly mediated by kinase signaling. Moreover, mMR activation may reverse these changes. Previous data also links the mMR to receptor trafficking and regulation of synaptic transmission. Collectively mMR and mGR mediated rapid regulation of synaptic structure and function is central for learning and memory. In this paper we briefly summarize the history of the mMR and mGR and then update on the emerging evidence of their reported functions. Here we argue that there is enough evidence to consider these rapidly acting non-genomic membrane receptors as members of the community of fully employed receptors.
While the function of mMR and mGR remains elusive or unknown, the existence of these receptors has historically been well defined by many research groups (for reviews see Prager and Johnson, 2009; Chaouloff and Groc, 2011; Groeneweg et al., 2012; ter Heegde et al., 2015). This opinion paper focuses on the role of mMR and mGR in neurons. It should be noted that the membrane form of the receptor is not exclusive to the brain and has been well-characterized in many cellular systems, including for example, the immune system (Buttgereit et al., 2015). Recent developments in our understanding of corticosteroid signaling highlights the importance of rapid pulsatile ultradian signaling to mMR and mGR, which provides an upstream signaling process well-suited for a rapid membrane response to corticosteroids. These findings, reviewed extensively by Joels et al. (Joëls et al., 2012; Sarabdjitsingh et al., 2012) provide evidence and rationale for the existence of mMR and mGR.
In 2005, we (Johnson et al., 2005) identified GR receptors in the post-synaptic density (PSD) as well as in dendrite spines, dendrites, soma, nuclei, and also pre-synaptic terminal regions and glia processes. In 2010, we identified both GR and MR in the PSD as well as in dendritic spines, dendrites, soma, and pre-synaptic terminal regions (Prager et al., 2010). Importantly, these findings established ultra-structural micro-anatomical evidence for both the membrane and intracellular nature of potential mMR and mGR in the distal regions of neuron architecture. In both of these studies the authors used transmission electron microscopy combined with immunocytochemistry labeled with the electron dense chromogen diaminobenzidine (DAB). Although DAB has a reduced spatial sensitivity (due to the amplification of the antigen signal away from the MR and GR antigen), it has very good tissue permeability and also provides amplification of the antigen signal. Consequently, this approach has enabled identification of MR and GR at novel intracellular and membrane sites. For example, MR was localized to Golgi apparatus, mitochondrial membranes and in the post-synaptic density itself (Johnson et al., 2005; Prager et al., 2010). The disadvantage of the DAB method is its reduced spatial sensitivity due to the amplification of the antigen signal away from the MR and GR antigen. A subsequent study by Kawato and colleagues (Yoshiya et al., 2013) used immunogold techniques with increased spatial sensitivity (and decreased penetration sensitivity) to confirm the findings of Johnson and Prager for synaptic and dendritic spine locus of MR and GR (Johnson et al., 2005; Prager et al., 2010). In summary, micro-anatomical evidence for synaptic associated MR and GR in the distal regions of neuron architecture has been established with different techniques and in different brain regions. These synaptic mMR and mGR can be argued to be established receptors, however their function has been less well established until recently.
A central premise of contemporary neuroendocrinology is the binding of adrenal cortex released corticosterone to MR and GR and their translocation to the nucleus (for review see de Kloet et al., 2008; Prager and Johnson, 2009). It is important to note that the binding of cortisol (humans) and corticosterone (rodents) to MR and GR in the brain is organized around differences in affinity, with MR having a higher affinity and being occupied at basal levels, and GR having a lower affinity and being occupied at circadian peaks and periods of stress (de Kloet et al., 2008; Groeneweg et al., 2012). MR and GR are found throughout the brain, binding of corticosterone, in the brain, was first described by McEwen et al. (1968), who showed that the steroid bound at high concentrations in limbic areas, especially the hippocampus. Importantly, it was noted in this seminal study that its mode of action was likely via binding to the genome, as binding was observed in neuronal nuclei (McEwen et al., 1968). Many subsequent studies have supported the genomic activation of corticosterone theory. Thus, a central premise of neuroendocrinology is the transactivation and transrepression of gene products mediated by corticosterone binding in the nucleus (for review examples see Tasker et al., 2006; de Kloet et al., 2008; Prager and Johnson, 2009; Joëls et al., 2012; ter Heegde et al., 2015). Twenty-three years after the identification of corticosterone binding in the brain, Orchinik et al. (1991) identified that corticosterone also bound to neuronal membranes. The initial identification of corticosterone binding to neuronal membranes, together with the studies of Johnson et al. (2005) and Prager et al. (2010) suggests corticosterone most likely also binds to synaptic membranes. A key role of these synaptic receptors could be the regulation of dendrite spines.
Membrane GR regulates dendrite spine growth and MR plays a regulatory role in dendrite spine structure. Recent pioneering work by Gan and colleagues suggests that endogenous corticosterone levels drive spine structural change (Liston et al., 2013). Working in an in vivo model they found that circadian fluctuations in corticosterone drive spine growth and retraction. Circadian cortisol peak is associated with GR dependent spine growth, with spine pruning occurring in the circadian nadir. The influential relationship that MR and GR have on spine formation during circadian glucocorticoid peaks and troughs indicates that they likely have important implications for memory retention and learning. In a learned motor skill task Liston et al. (2013) found an increase in spine formation in mice trained during circadian peaks, which reinforced learning and strengthened long-term memory retention. Strong evidence for the non-genomic nature of these GR mediated effects comes from the association of these effects with LIM kinase-1 phosphorylation. Just 20 min after direct application of corticosterone to the cortex increases in LIM kinase-1 phosphorylation are detected, moreover GR spine changes are not detected in LIM1 knockout (LIM1−∕−) mice. These in vivo studies on cortical neuron spines are supporting a growing body of evidence of non-genomic mediated corticosterone regulation of spine structure. Furthermore, an earlier study by the same group (Liston and Gan, 2011) also showed the regulatory role of glucocorticoids in dendritic spine development and plasticity in vivo. Addition of both the GR selective antagonist mifepristone and the MR antagonist spironolactone (both separately and co-administered) in the developing cortex disrupted spine formation, indicating that both receptors play roles in spine development. Conversely, extended corticosterone interaction led to elimination of both older and younger spines. Sleep has also been shown (Yang et al., 2014) to promote the formation of dendritic spines. Examining both non- and sleep-deprived (SD) mice, the authors found that spine formation was reduced significantly in SD mice compared to the non-SD mice. In summary, circadian fluctuations of corticosterone likely regulate spine structure via mMR and mGR.
In vivo studies have also identified the rapid regulation of dendrite spines by GR and the apparent cyclic and reversible nature. On examination of both hippocampal CA1 dendrite spines and CA3 dendrite thorns, Komatsuzaki et al. (2012) and Yoshiya et al. (2013) found the density of spines had increased after 1 h post-corticosterone administration. However by 5 h of corticosterone application these increases were reversed. Like the effect on CA1 spines corticosterone also increased the density of CA3 thorns within 1 h, also in a dose dependant manner. The corticosterone mediated increases in spines and thorns were both dependant on GR and on intracellular signaling including phosphorylation of ERK/MAPK. Furthermore, the rapid corticosterone mediated increases in spine density was also dependent on glutamatergic transmission with NMDA and AMPA receptors also inhibiting the corticosterone mediated increases in spine density. Thus, dendrite spine and thorn density is rapidly increased by corticosterone via glucocorticoid, NMDA and AMPA receptors; and the phosphorylation of intracellular signaling kinases. Given that mGR are observed at the PSD (Komatsuzaki et al., 2012; Yoshiya et al., 2013), membrane associated GR are positioned to interact with NMDA and AMPA receptors and the ERK/MAP and LIM kinase pathways to drive rapid changes in spine number and size.
Corticosterone regulates both an increase and decrease in dendrite spine density that is mediated by both GR and MR. In both in vivo studies (Gan and colleagues) and in vitro studies (Kawato and colleagues) the rapid increase in spine density mediated by GR activation was found to be reversible and cyclic. Kawato and colleagues observed that application of corticosterone increased spine density at 1 h which then decreased back to the control levels at 2 and 5 h (Komatsuzaki et al., 2012). Furthermore, spine increases in GR dependent spine densities are reversed during the circadian nadir (Liston et al., 2013). Gan and colleagues also found that excess GR also reduced spine density (Liston et al., 2013) suggesting that the membrane GR follow an inverted U shape dose response curve as proposed by Prager and Johnson (2009). These findings suggest that either cortisol levels acting on mGR alone or corticosterone levels acting on mGR and mMR rapidly regulate spine levels in a reversible and cyclic manner. Further evidence suggests a synergistic relationship between mGR and mMR for spine increase and normalization respectively (see Figure 1). Like mGR, mMR are also observed at the PSD (Prager et al., 2010) where they are also positioned to interact both with NMDA and AMPA receptors and the ERK/MAPK and LIM kinase pathways to regulate rapid changes in spine number and size. Gan and colleagues observed an MR dependent reversal of spine density; however this effect was long acting, suggesting genomic transcription. Contrary to these findings, Joels and colleagues and Groc and colleagues (and many others) have amassed significant evidence on the rapid non-genomic actions of mMR at synapses. These studies include regulation of post-synaptic AMPA receptors trafficking (Groc et al., 2008) and pre-synaptic regulation of glutamate release (Karst et al., 1999). Cyclic increases and decreases in spine numbers by corticosterone, are likely regulated by synaptic mMR interacting with NMDA and AMPA receptors and the ERK/MAPK and LIM kinase pathways. Thus, low levels of corticosterone will occupy mMR when spines are being returned to their basal levels (see Figure 1 and Prager and Johnson, 2009).
Figure 1. Membrane MR and GR (mMR, mGR) located at dendritic spines regulate spine mass. In response to increases in cortisol spines increase in number and size. Mechanistically mGR regulate an increase in dendritic spine num ber and size. In contrast mMR regulates an elimination of dendritic spines. Both mMR and mGR have been identified in the PSO of dendritic spines (see Johnson et al, 2005; Prager and Johnson, 2009; Prager et al, 2010; Yoshiya et al, 2013; and also see Liston et al, 2013).
In summary, thanks to the pioneering work of McEwen and Orchinick and others we are finally at a turning point in our knowledge of the important function of the fast acting membrane form of the mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors. After 45 years of glucocorticoids in the brain, we are now understanding both the anatomy and the function of fast acting mMR and mGR. A recent and growing body of evidence demonstrate that: GR are located in synapses (Johnson et al., 2005); MR are located in synapses (Prager et al., 2010); GR rapidly regulates synaptic transmission by several mechanisms, including GR regulation of AMPA (Conboy and Sandi, 2010) and GR regulation of pre- and post-synaptic function (Tasker et al., 2006). MR regulates pre-synaptic release (Karst et al., 1999) MR rapidly regulates AMPA receptor membrane insertion (Groc et al., 2008). Furthermore, recent and emerging evidence demonstrates rapid membrane dependent mGR regulation of spine number and size (Komatsuzaki et al., 2012; Liston et al., 2013). Thus, fast acting membrane associated form of the mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptor have multiple roles, with a convergence of functions at synapses and dendrite spines—mMR and mGR at the PSD can trigger circadian and stress induced changes in spine density and shape underlying environmental and endogenous regulation of neural networks involved in memory, learning and other key neurological functions.

First, I apologize for the large gap in blogging! My Summer and subsequent Fall were busy and honestly got away from me! I have, however, been sewing up a storm so I thought I would start sharing some of my more recent makes. First up (and one of my more recent makes) is this amazing cape/coat that I made for my sister. Now while I frequently make things for other people (clients), this is significant because I have a rule that as long as they buy all the supplies, I sew for my family for free.
At the end of the summer, my sister sent me this picture of a cape that she really wanted to recreate.
Since she was due for a project and this seemed a minimally involved make, I acquiesced and began the search for a pattern to hack. Luckily, I found V9211 pretty quickly and the only adjustments that needed to be made were to shorten the collar by half so that it was just a stand up collar and not a roll neck. I also omitted the hidden snap placket and used vintage leather buttons from my stash and added welt pockets.
The original cape was made of a wool double knit so I knew we needed something with a little drape. Luckily for my sister, I bought 2 yards of some Burberry cashmere in Philadelphia about 3 years ago at a jobber's shop because I fell in love with it and because Burberry. I have been sitting on this wonderful fabric not sure what to do with it as part of it's charm is it's amazing drape. When she brought this project to my attention I knew it would be perfect and when I showed it to her, she also fell in love. At this point, I would like to be acknowledged for how unselfish this entire project is. I mean, I let her have the Burberry!!!!
Ok, enough chatter. Here are the pictures of the cape. She turned out pretty great!
So that is my most recent archived make! My sister has yet to receive the finished garment so I don't have pictures of her in said cape, but I can assure you she was over the moon with the pictures so I'm very optimistic!
One last note. Over the course of a few months at the end of the summer, I made myself a 13 piece mini capsule wardrobe for Fall. Some of the items were a bit of a fail, but overall I'm pretty stoked with the end result. Would you all be interested in a blog series that covers all 13 pieces? Just let me know in the comments!
Until later!

Doom RPG is a mobile phone game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment. It combines the Doom first-person shooter franchise with role-playing video game elements. The storyline incorporates many similar events of Doom 3, but involves different characters than those in the third game.
The website for Doom RPG does state that the protagonist in Doom RPG is the same character from Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3.[1]
The game retains many of the elements of Doom, and is shown in the first person like the original. It is also visually similar to the original Doom. However, the game is fundamentally different in that it is a turn-based role-playing game, rather than a shooter, with greater emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. It is very important to speak to the scientists and access computer terminals to attain vital information in order to progress through the game, similar to Doom 3.
Many features of the original are retained, including the status bar face, sound effects and the majority of the weapons and monsters. Notably absent are the Chainsaw, Arachnotrons and Spider Mastermind. A difference from the original is that each monster is one of three levels of difficulty, and is colored to indicate this.
The game also adds several new elements. New weapons include the fire axe and fire extinguisher which are useful in combat against certain enemies.[2] The dogs from Wolfenstein 3D appear as a new enemy, known as Hellhounds. A dog collar-like mind-control device allows the hellhounds to be captured as pets, which can then act as both a melee weapon and a shield.
The story occurs on a Martian Union Aerospace Corporation installation similar to Doom 3. The player is addressed to by NPCs in the game as Marine.
The game is divided into section based on Sectors in the base. The sectors are Entrance, Junction, Sector 1 through Sector 7, and Reactor. The Junction is the staging area or main town for the game.
Guerard was not on good terms with Jensen. Three weeks prior to the start of the game, Guerard asked Graff to perform a security audit on Jensen. Jensen failed the security audit and was dismissed for this security breach. Jensen suspected that Guerard was involved in his dismissal. During the same time, demons started to invade the installation, appearing out of nowhere. It is around this time that the game begins.
Early on in the game, the Marine meets Dr. Jensen when he was accessing a computer terminal investigating his dismissal. During the exploration of first few sectors of the installation, the Marine receives help from Dr. Guerard in gaining access to various locked down areas. In Biological Research Facility, the Marine meets Dr. Nadira who quarantines his weapons claiming security measures. Dr. Nadira then commands his mind-controlled hellhounds to attack the Marine and disappears in the process. Eventually, Marine meets Jensen again. This time he is incarcerated in a prison cell. After freeing Jensen, he informs the Marine that Guerard and Nadira are into an evil scheme and directs the Marine to the next section of the installation.
The next time the Marine meets Guerard and Nadira, it is known that Guerard was behind the invasion and has been attempting to open a portal to Hell in the Reactor Sector. Guerard promptly orders demons to attack the Marine and Nadira. Nadira dies and Guerard escapes. The Marine proceeds through the remaining two sectors, acquiring the BFG 9000 and the key to the Reactor sector. By then, a major invasion devastates the Junction. With the help of Kelvin and Jensen, the Marine gains access to the Reactor sector. Kelvin and Jensen both die in the process.
In the Reactor sector, Guerard reveals himself as Kronos and transforms into demonic form. By this time, he has succeeded in opening the portal to Hell. After defeating Kronos, the Marine closes the portal by destroying the reactors powering it. The Cyberdemon slips through before the portal closes. The game ends with the defeat of the Cyberdemon. The Cyberdemon is likely to be Kronos' creation referred to by other NPCs.
The game's engine was later used for another Fountainhead Entertainment title, Orcs & Elves, Orcs & Elves II, and was also followed by Wolfenstein RPG and Doom II RPG.
The game received some awards including "2005 Mobile Game of the Year", "2005 Adventure/RPG of the Year", "Editor's Award", "Game of the Year", "Editor's Choice Award" and "Best Wireless Adventure Game".[3] GameSpot gave Doom RPG a score of 8.6 out of a possible 10 in their review of the game.[4]

A great way to avoid unnecessary expenditure is to wait 30 days to decide on a purchase. Say no to instant gratification and wait it out! We quite often change our minds, and if in 30 days you are not excited anymore and the urge to buy has passed – you just saved money by simply waiting!
2. List it!
A nightmare on wallet street…shopping when hungry or without a list is an absolute no-no when it comes to saving. A list helps you know only the necessary items you need to restock in your pantry or home and leaves no room for impulse purchases.
3. Keep the change
Save all those coins and take them to the bank at the end of each month or six months. Believe us, it really adds up!
4. Meal preps!
Eating out is a surefire way to see a fast drain on your cash flow. Whether its lunch for just you, or an evening meal for your whole family, you can save a lot more money by simply eating at home more often, cooking your own food and planning your meals. The additional bonus is that it can be a lot healthier too
5. Be fit at home
Gyms can be expensive and even unnecessary. Thanks to the wonderful world wide web, YouTube is a one-stop solution to all your working out needs. There are professional and certified online fitness training channels such as 'Fitness Blender' on YouTube with millions of subscribers teaching you how to work out no matter which level of fitness you are on. Use the free exercise guides in the comfort of your own home!
6. Sell it all!
Our homes are often cluttered with a hundred things we have no use for, and just don't know what to do with. Some of these items may be in perfect condition too or even unused! An excellent way to make money is to sell things you own online. From clothes, to books, to electronic devices, you'll be able to find a buyer and make quick bucks.
7. Invite friends over
Going out to eat has a way of completely destroying both your food budget and your entertainment budget. It is always cheaper to stay in with friends and come up with your own entertainment.
There you have it! Make sure to employ these ways to save more and spend less this summer.

Lazy girl's guide to eating healthier
When it comes to eating healthy, many of us are plain lazy. There are no words to describe it. It's like you want to improve your health but you don't necessarily want to put in the hard work that's required. The good news is, eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated. Just swap your everyday junk food for these delicious, guilt-free superfoods, and get a step closer to living a healthier lifestyle.
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is a natural energy booster packed with antioxidants and rich, authentic taste. Make sure you pick up the least processed one with a teeny tiny bit of sugar (75% or more if you're not weak at heart!). The more processed and sugary the chocolate, the unhealthier it is.
Chia Seeds
Did you know "Chia" is an ancient Mayan word for 'strength'? Need we say more? This superfood is packed with the goodness of Fiber, Protein, Fat, Calcium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Zinc, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Potassium, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), and Vitamin B2. Trust this bubbly little superfood to give you an instant hit of energy when added to your fruit bowl or cereal.
Bananas are a great pick-me-up superfood to snack on after a long exhausting day. Chug a glass of banana milkshake in the evening, or mix it with some cereal and milk, for an instant energy boost. It's quick, easy to make, and full of rich nutrients that help you refresh! Got more super food ideas? Share them with us in the comments below!

Matcha Tea – New Fad or Superfood?
Dubbed the elixir of longevity, Matcha tea is what makes the Okinawans live to be 100 (yes, Okinawa, Japan has the most number of living centenarians). Although it has been around for more than eight centuries, this grassy green tea has become a staple on every fitness enthusiast's Instagram visual feed much recently.
Before you decide on whether you should jump the Matcha Tea bandwagon (or not), let's give you a lowdown of all the incredible health benefits this antioxidant powerhouse has to offer.
Weight Loss
If you're weight watching, Matcha Tea can help you burn those calories four times faster than your basic brew. It improves the metabolism and helps burn fat – sans the terrible side effects of synthetic health supplements and detox drinks.
Matcha Tea gets its brilliant green color due to the high chlorophyll content that is great for detoxing. Just one cup of Matcha Tea every day helps you get rid of harmful chemical toxins and free radicals (but don't overdo it).
Rich in Antioxidants
Matcha Tea is also rich in skin-loving and cancer-fighting antioxidants called polyphenols and catechins that boost immunity and give skin a youthful appearance.
Boosts Concentration
If Monday blues really get to you, start your day with a cup of warm Matcha Tea. Certain antioxidants present in this tea help boost concentration and improve memory.
Strengthens the Immune System
In addition to all the amazing health benefits Matcha Tea has to offer, it is packed with the goodness of vitamins A & C, protein, calcium, iron, and potassium that promote overall health.
Fancy a cuppa?

Major League - Classic Characters, The Young Fireballer by Keith Wahl
The feedback from our "At the Movies" series and the coinciding CG Podcast has led us on a path to continue this exploration of the spiritual lessons we can learn from our favorite baseball movies. Enjoy this month's focus on Major League!
Last week we looked at that archetypal baseball character of the old veteran catcher. We've all had that teammate, and that's what makes the character resonate. We've also had the next character that appears in Major League - the young fireballer. Human and flawed…with the exception of that canon for an arm.
This idea of a gunslinging pitcher is not unique to baseball. In fact, if you connect the idea of a baseball pitcher to a stone slinger from the Old Testament, we've had highly-skilled projectile throwers for thousands of years. David was known for his prominence with stones and a sling thanks to taking down Goliath. In Judges 20:16, we see a story of war where, "Out of all these people 700 choice men were left-handed; each one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss." Who needs Driveline Baseball when an army has 700 southpaws at their disposal?!
Yet, for some reason, this incredible skill is accompanied by youth and arrogance. It's interesting that Jake Taylor and Ricky Vaughn appear in Major League in the same way that Crash Davis and Nuke Laloosh appear in Bull Durham. The veteran attempting to bring along the "million-dollar arm with the five-cent head." This idea of mentorship, bringing along the next generation of ballplayers, exists in both the baseball world and the Christian faith. We all need people to bring us along and show us the ropes in the world. Unfortunately, there are too few Jake Taylors and Crash Davises around. I think we all have an idea as to why.
This idea of intentional discipleship isn't popular in today's society. In this Information Age, young people can get all the information they want. They can fill up on any and all amounts of information. One challenge with this thinking is that information does not bring wisdom along with it. Wisdom comes with life experience and time. Jake Taylor has it where Ricky does not. Will the young fireballer immediately accept the counsel of his elder? Of course not, and this is before the internet and smartphones.
As more information becomes available and easily accessible, the value of personal wisdom from life experience will continue to get slowly squeezed out of the culture. When wisdom isn't valued above talent, the veterans won't take the risk or the time to mentor the next generation. The increase in arrogance and the lack of humility of the youth (of which I would associate myself as of a couple years ago) pushes away those who have wisdom from life experience.
Unfortunately, Ricky Vaughn is something of a prophet. At one point in the movie, Ricky is signing an autograph and turns to Jake Taylor saying, "I thought you had to do something good to be a celebrity." Jake responds, "Not if you do it colorfully." Too many people are following Ricky's example and doing things colorfully to gain fame. We have to continue to pray for wisdom and hope that the wisdom granted by God will continue to be passed on through the generations.

Thanks in advance for your professional help.
Please give feedback. Having a hard time doing Hip Hop without a vocalist. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Best!

CONTEMPORARY TRAP-Style HIP-HOP INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a boutique Music Library with tons of credits in HIT TV Shows!
This company is brand new to running Listings with TAXI. It's very unlikely that you've got any music in their catalog, yet. This is a great opportunity to build a new relationship with this small, but hard-plugging company that gets the job done!
They want Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:
"Sin" by Young Thug ft. Jaden Smith
"HOW BOUT THAT?" by Quavo
"Who Want The Smoke?" by Lil Yachty · Cardi B · Offset
Although the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only. Please send them current, modern-sounding Trap-Style Hip-Hop Instrumental Cues that are rhythmically and melodically engaging. Your Instrumental Cues should have heavy, speaker-knocking percussion, catchy melodies, and cool-sounding ear candy throughout to keep it from sounding too linear or repetitive. Build your submissions around a catchy central melodic theme, and keep it compelling by layering elements in and out as your piece progresses to keep it dynamic and forward-moving.
Your submissions should be about 2 minutes in length, give or take. Non-Faded, Button/Stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced acts or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Also, do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists' songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
This Company offers both EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE deals. The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you're inclined to do an Exclusive deal, please don't submit material for this pitch that's already signed with any other libraries or publishers.
Any sync fees will be split 50/50 with the Company. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you'd like online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a TAXI A&R person who has been handpicked by the Music Library who owns the Library – Short critiques only.

One of the easiest ways to build your mailing list is by taking part in Giveaway events.
Basically a group of marketers gets together and gives away one of their products in exchange for your email address which they then hope that they can use to sell you interesting products in the future.
I have taken part in a few now and it has been a fairly effective way of building my mailing list so far. It is worth noting that this method used to be a lot more effective than it currently is now, and that one of the drawbacks with this method is that those signing up for your list are not often buyers. None the less it is useful and it will allow you to use list swaps to increase your list size once your list gets to a size of at least 250.
I thought below that I would show you upcoming giveaways and I would suggest that if you are serious about affiliate marketing that you took part in these giveaways yourself.
If you do not have a product of your own to give away then you need to acquire resell rights to other products that have giveaway rights attached. An upcoming post will detail some of the best of these Resell Right options although my favorite of the moment is Master Resell Rights. To sign up to them you need to Click Here.
Now on with the giveaways:
EZ-IM: Goes live February 5th. Run by Charles and Philip Mutrie and Roger Hyatt. This is the first time this has been run. Ideally you should only sign up to be a contributor if you have a reasonably sized list so I hope that is you!
7 Dollar Give Away. This one goes live on February 8th. This one is low-value, all upgrades $7 any special offers also $7.

Chip's quote:
"In another tactic to cope with the activewear onslaught, the denim brands are branding out beyond denim. High-end jeans brand Chip Foster is unveiling knits for fall with 14 stockkeeping units in the three color options.
"I'm not ever going to lose focus on denim, but you have to adjust. You have to call an audible," said the brand's namesake founder. "We want to go into ath-leisure, but sloppier. Everything is extra long. The collars are opened up. I just think that look is sexy."

During the week dinner should be easy to make and even easier to clean up! I'm all for one pan recipes and Cashew Chicken + Roasted Veggies checks all the boxes. It's a super low maintenance meal that gives me more time to hang with Zelda after work. Once it is in the oven I don't have to think about it until the timer tells me it is done. If you're not into cashew chicken, you can skip that step and season your chicken to taste. You can't beat cooking an entire meal on one pan! What's your go-to one pan recipe? Tell me in the comments below.

Glitzy Lips Lip Foils
Right, if you thought that temporary lip tattoos were extreme, check out these lip foils from Glitzy Lips! I'm told that Amy Childs is offering a Glitzy Lip service at her new beauty salon if you live in Essex and you don't fancy having a go yourself. When I get a sample, I'm going to give them a go.. on my arm probably..so I'll be able to let you know whether they work or not. The foil kit costs £29.95 which is a lot, but it will do about 40 lips so you might want to split with a friend or take to a hen. They'll stay put for a good 8 hours. For BBB readers, if you want to buy them you'll need to call Jodie on 0113 217 3813 because they're normally only available to salons. I think I sort of love them!

I love them and think theyre gorgeous but i'd never ever actually wear them! i dont know when id have the chance to wear them really, theyre just far too over the top, but still they are so pretty.
Love them, but I wouldn't be brave enough to wear them! Very editorial. Talk about a statement lip!!
Pretty idea, but I can imagine it getting all very wrinkly on the lip area. x
That pink i really pretty.
Wowsers they look amazing!
I can totally see jessy j rocking this sometime soon if she hasn't already!.
Oh great idea for a hen's night!!
I like these but I can't see me wearing them really – plus I've got quite big lips so I do wonder if they'll "fit" 🙂
I would wear these if I was going to the right event, but I don't like the fact that they are done at a salon cos that means having to walk through the streets in daytime with them on!!
I love the idea…I wonder if they might get a bit tacky after a couple of hours wear without professional application though :/ might have a go and review it on my blog.

Are corporations inherently evil? Visiting professor Josef Wieland sheds light on ethics and corporate behavior
Above: Josef Wieland delivering his speech on transcultural norms of good corporate behavior.
By Kaidi Ilves
Fairleigh Dickinson University recently hosted a guest lecture by Josef Wieland, a professor from Zeppelin University in Friedrichsafen, Germany (with whom FDU holds a global education partnership).
Wieland, an expert in institutional economics, organizational governance, integrity management and transcultural leadership, discussed the norms and regulations affecting behavior in corporations in the twenty first century.
Among his talking points were the United Nations' Global Compact principles, which outline the standards of corporate behavior in terms of human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption. The goal being to embed markets and societies with universal principles and values for the benefit of all.
"This is the first time in history that businesses are asked to actively support the efforts of guaranteeing human rights," said Wieland.
He elaborated, saying no entity exists in a vacuum, and it is the shared responsibility of nations and organizations alike to ensure a sustainable future for all. Companies are now not only mandated by laws and regulations to ensure ethical and sustainable practices throughout their value chain, but are also feeling the pressure from society to continually do the right thing and ensure that their partners do the same.
The UN Human Rights Council states that, "Transnational corporations and other business enterprises have a responsibility to respect human rights," and according to Wieland, today's major corporations are responsible for every link in their supply chain, and can be penalized for unethical behavior within their suppliers' factories or networks as well. It is in the best interest of companies to apply these norms of good corporate behavior and do their part in bettering the world.

Wieland is the director of the Zeppelin Leadership Excellence Institute. He is the founder and president of Forum Compliance & Integrity, chairman of the German Network of Business Ethics, and founder of the Business Council on Values Management. He has been awarded the Max Weber Prize for Business Ethics of the BDI (Association of German Entrepreneurs) and the State Research Award Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Product Design
The furniture is designed to accommodate solid wood surfaces with familiar and trusted shapes that represent order, mathematics, rationality, and formality. The transformation to a square shaped structure ; suggest solidity, security, and equality. Where as the trianglular structure suggest direction , purpose and stability. We wanted the furniture to have the ability to shape shift in its form and also funtionally provide a range of motion and convenience.
180 degree:
The Final Render proposed showed our client all the necessary dimensions and gave them an idea of the look and feel of the whole furniture design; which allowd them to take the needed steps to carry on to the next stage of production.

Back in Kansas they say "the shirt's in there Mabel." In other words, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. A New York Times bestseller by the name of – The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven … a true story – has been flying off the shelves since Tyndale published it four and a half years ago. Now it's being pulled from book stores because the author has admitted that the whole story was just made up. This isn't surprising. A booklet that criticized the book for violating basic Biblical teachings was published a year later but was vehemantly criticized. I have not read either book but I have another on my shelves that was recommended by a hospital chaplain. It records stories from hundreds of people about messages from the grave that provide hope to grieving loved ones. According to this book and another that I read about near death experiences, it doesn't really matter what you believe. The message is that clearly all of the world's religions are mistaken.
Why are people so eager to believe every and all spiritual messages, as long as they are not from the BIble? People want a religion where no one fails to get to heaven and nobody is in error. In college I visited a church where all religions were thought to contain some truth but where theirs was more true than the others. They had great red zinger tea. But I didn't join.
There is a reason that Martin Luther concluded that "scripture alone" is to be the basis for what we believe. He read many other books where spiritual experiences or human philosophy lead to a maze of contradictions. Only one book, the Bible, tells the truth about God and salvation all of the time. Jesus said "I am THE way THE truth and THE life, no one comes to the Father except through me." What we believe matters, eternally. Jesus told a story about a rich man who was in torment and a poor man named Lazarus who was in heaven. The rich man asked that Lazarus be sent back to warn his living relatives. He was told that that couldn't happen, because there was a chasm that prevented such a journey.
Being aware of that story should have been sufficient to demonstrate that The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven wasn't a true story. The Bible isn't only true for those who believe it's words. The Bible will one day be found to be true also by all of those who never believed it. It is the only book that God himself has written, through apostles and prophets. If you want to know about how to get to heaven and be with God one day, read his book. In it you will find one great exception to the adage that things that sound too good to be true probably aren't. The exception is the gospel, for the greatest of gifts (life with Christ forever) isn't something that we earn or deserve. It is an undeserved gift paid for by Jesus and received by all who trust that they are forgiven, because of Christ, rather than by anything they could claim to have done.
Though the Bible is a best-seller, most people – including people who go to church – have never read it all the way through. Why not make 2015 the year for reading the greatest of books? The truth and mercy that you find there will give you hope.

Yesterday, my colleague Caroline Calkins and I were on the phone with Dr. Robert Ballard, the man who found the Titanic, and also helped find two lost nuclear subs - the Thresher and the Scorpion. (The Scorpion still had nuclear weapons on board which may make that sub his biggest find!). We were reviewing his content for our upcoming event on "Innovating in Turbulent Times".
We began talking about how he managed the talent in his high paced, exploration-based, organization. A big part of his job is to design and manage new expeditions for two ships which have exploration equipment including tethered and non-tethered robots - which are actively exploring the world's oceans. When I asked him how he thinks about organizing the myriad of quirky and brilliant scientists, technicians, seafarers, and staff under his command, he said that he tries to create the "best gigs" that the best people want to be a part of. "You can't tell people what to do - you have to inspire them to perform," he said. He sounded a lot like other senior executives I have talked with at trading firms, investment banks, high-tech companies and other organizations who rely on creative, fast-paced, energetic, learning-driven talent.
It occurred to me that maybe the right way to think about management of highly mobile talent is to think in terms of "gigs". Ballard said it was his job to remove obstacles and create the best platform to have the best gigs. It reminded me of things I read years ago when I was a student at Harvard Business School, by Rosabeth Moss Kanter who said that people's new career trajectory would be to worry about being employable - not just to be employed. Daniel Pink's book Free Agent Nation, seems to deal with this topic, although I confess I have not yet read it. The much under-appreciated book Future Wealth, by Stan Davis and Chris Meyer, which talks about how talent may organize and finance itself in this new free agent world, points out that we will come up with new ways to help finance this approach as well.
Technology - the internet cloud, the resource cloud, and the social cloud, all make the organization of work into gigs more easy to do. My brother-in-law Michael Harvey is a world class TV producer, who invented Cold Case Files, and is now an author (The Chicago Way, The Fifth Floor, and The Third Rail [due out in April 2010]). In talking with Mike about how he manages his television and movie crews he noted, "This work is not for everyone. You develop a core of talent, and mix in the other skills as needed. It depends on people who are confident and can live on their abilities and not seek too much security." He confided that it is as much about a mind set - being able to live with the freedom and a blank page each time - as it is about anything else. The joy, and the payoff, is the energy, the spark, and the creativity of the process and the satisfaction of the product.

Day 132 Project 365
Michael and I had a really great talk tonight about the ways of the world! It's so cool to have a person that thinks like me and understands my thought and feelings! It is amazing to feel so totally plugged in and connected to a him! Michael is a really amazing person, very smart, very interesting and just pretty much perfect! Kind of like Mary Poppins… he's practically perfect in every way!
Ok so anyway I was just thinking about how hard the human race makes things and how easy they really are! We sure do make a lot of fuss over a big bunch of stuff that doesn't really matter!
What really matters?
Not too much when you get down to it i think! I bet you could count everything that really matters on one hand… most likely less than that when it gets to it!
I think our minds are open when we are kids but as we get older they are closed…. I think we are given too many cants … and I don't mean from parents I mean from society and what we think is supposed to be whatever it is we think! All we need to do is remember what matters… and focus on being happy!
Sand painting on the Euro Vision or sand art whatever it's cool anyway! If you haven't seen it
I can't vouch for the music or sound because we are listening to OMD "Forever Live and Die"
Anyway yeah I think…

They may have been at loggerheads in the past but Mark Cavendish( HTC-Highroad ) and Filippo Pozzato(Katusha) are now the best of friends.
In this exclusive video for Cyclingnews the two riders talk about their initial falling out and how they made up and bonded over their love of eh... watches, laying the blame for most of the problem at the feet of the media
The two then discuss their hopes for the coming season with both riders picking Milan San Remo as their first major spring target. Both men have won the race and know what it takes to cross the line first in the Italian classic.
From there the Italian will take aim at both the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, while Cavendish could also ride both races in aid of his teammates.
Pozzato, no mean sprinter himself, acknowledges that Cavendish is the finest sprinter of his generation and has the time and ability to become the best of all time, while Cavendish praises the Italian's class on the bike.

Rev. John St. Martin will preach and administer the sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
FROM OLD TO NEW (Jeremiah 31)
Hope is defined as "a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen." The people of God have often been described as a people of hope. The voice of the Old Testament prophets often brought words of warning, but they also often offered a voice of hope, a feeling of expectation for the coming of a "New Covenant."
What is God's mission in the world and how does he go about accomplishing it? This 8-part series traces the story of God's purpose and work in the world. Beginning in the Garden of Eden and culminating in the person of Jesus Christ, we will follow the Lord's covenant promises to his people throughout the ages.

Tricky Fish is your home away from home: inviting, warm, and casual, with food as good as any farm to table in Dallas. Our restaurant is built on the promise that the simple life is the good life.
Humble Beginnings
It's true that when you're out on the water, it's easy to get lost in the beauty and simplicity of it. The founders of Tricky Fish did just that. Out on the waters off Port A, out near Chinquapin Reef in East Matagorda Bay, the vision for Tricky Fish was founded. Out on the water, enjoying the company of good people and good food, magic happens. The world slips away and the simple life bubbles up. That's what Tricky Fish is all about.
Simplicity in All
When you come to Tricky Fish, you'll find a place where the world outside fades away and you're able to just enjoy a delicious meal and great drinks with friends.
Speaking of the food, nothing about our food is fussy. If it's fancy or requires too many ingredients, you won't find it on our menu. Our Dallas restaurant is full of high-quality dishes, simply prepared with fresh ingredients every time. If we can, we source local. That's it – pure and simple.
Something for Everyone
From the starters, to the small plates, to sandwiches, po' boys, and salads – there is something for everyone on the Tricky Fish menu. Our food is a fusion of seafood, Cajun, and good ole' Southern comfort food. And while you're here, don't forget to try one of our amazing house cocktails, infused with fresh, local ingredients. Of course, craft beer and wine are always available as well.
Join us at Tricky Fish this week , located at CityLine DFW in Richardson, Texas, and let us welcome you to the family! Also follow us via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for deals and insider specials!

Special Story On YCP's Silence Over Janasena Party's Comments On Ys Jagan
Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan openly commented on YCP chief Jagan over the pending cases on him regarding illegal assets. He also condemned dynastic politics without showing their capabilities. But YCP kept silent over Janasena Party's Comments on Ys Jagan except for 2 or 3 leaders. Party sources say that high command is in confusion on how to react on his comments while keeping in view of the consequences. They are in fear of projection of Janasena as opposition party by reacting on it which could damage YCP's image. Prashant Kishore also advised them to keep quite on Pawan's comments saying it will fetch them.

DUNMORE -- In the unofficial count, three votes separate the two candidates in the Democratic primary for mayor in Dunmore.
The winner would likely be mayor as there's no one running on the Republican ticket. That narrow margin will also likely unseat the mayor who has been in office for more than two decades.
The incumbent is trailing a long-time borough councilman by just three votes. The pair are life-long friends -- the top vote getter, Councilman Tim Burke, isn't accepting victory yet.
This has all the makings of a feud, but Burke insists it's not. It was principle, not politics, that led him to run against his old friend, Dunmore Mayor Patrick "Nibs" Loughney.
"I had to get permission from the wife, of course, and she gave me permission, actually, the very last day," said Burke. "The only reason I ran was, I think, the biggest issue in the county, was the landfill. We were just two opposites on that issue."
The issue of whether or not the Keystone Sanitary Landfill in Dunmore should be able to expand. Borough zoning laws that would allow it are being challenged in court.
But Burke says, as mayor, he would be able to better advocate against the expansion.
"It will be another voice in a different department of government from Dunmore, that's if I win, that's against the landfill. I think that speaks volumes," he added.
Unofficial election results have Burke winning by only three votes. He isn't accepting a victory until the results are certified, but he told us Loughney called him to concede.
Elections this close aren't all too uncommon. Officials here at the Lackawanna County department of Elections say that just two years ago, a Dickson City council race was decided by only one vote.
Certifying the election is a long process that really won't start until Friday -- the voting machines were just being returned this afternoon. Election officials say they will need to count any provisional ballots -- or ballots that may not have scanned properly.
With a three vote margin, those could make all the difference.
"I would have been happy with a close election and a loss. Naturally, if I win, that's a better feeling," he said. "But, just to keep the landfill issue alive, people know, believe Dunmore knows that was the issue that I'm up three votes."
We tried to reach out to Mayor Patrick Loughney today -- but we have not heard back.
Election officials say it could be a few weeks before we know who won the race for sure.

IT IS AN HONOR to write about Karlheinz Stockhausen, since he was my hero in the late '50s. I was perhaps predisposed to twelve-tone technique because my high school harmony teacher, Clyde Sorenson, had studied at UCLA with Arnold Schönberg. I also took classes at LA City College from 1953 until 1957 under Leonard Stein, the noted pianist and former assistant to Schönberg.
Leonard was very kind to me and took me under his wing. He selected which recordings of Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, Bartók, Schönberg, Berg, and Webern I should listen to and pulled them from the music department library, along with scores for my study. He literally introduced me to contemporary music, and I began to study composition and counterpoint with him privately. He was my most important composition teacher until 1970, when I became a disciple of Pandit Pran Nath and took up my lifelong study of Indian classical

Introduction to Mosquito-borne Arboviruses
Arbovirus disease cases vary from year to year and some even cycle over a period of three to four years. Many things influence the number of cases, such as the number of mosquitoes that spread the disease and the weather that affects their breeding.
Some arboviruses actively cause outbreaks within the United States (eg, West Nile virus). Others rarely occur within the US (found mainly in other countries) and infection comes primarily from people who travel to those areas (eg, dengue virus). Still others may be transitioning to actively causing disease within the US, as the necessary vector for a particular arbovirus emerges in the US through possible mechanisms, such as global trade (eg, Zika virus).
Most arboviruses do not yet have vaccines, so prevention depends on people preventing mosquito bites and eliminating breeding sites. Clinicians must have a high index of suspicion to diagnose and report them. All of the mosquito-borne viral infections detected in the US must be reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

I'm grateful to be a guest on Eram Saeed's upcoming show, From Heartache To Joy, Tuesday morning, August 22nd. Replays will be available after the live call. We will be doing a very powerful set of clearings using the Celestial Rays and the Ancestral Archetypes. The Celestial Rays are what you might call a "special dispensation" from the Divine to delete the old energetics we've been "looping" with as humanity, from past "karmas."
When we comprehend Law of Attraction and Compounded Momentum, we can see there is detritus and debris in the subconscious race mind of humanity, plugged into our DNA and bodies through our ancestral lineages, that we can disconnect from and resolve, so we no longer have to live those patterns. The "functionality" of passing stuff down is a good one, when the habits and patterns are functional, desired, beautiful, and pleasing.
We've had a few situations on the planet, and the time is now to liberate ourselves and our ancestors from these old wounds. We deserve to go free to create our lives anew, and call in the resources to support us in doing so. On the live call, a handful of "first come first served" callers will get to ask questions about their own ancestral money wounds for specific clearings. All the clearings will be useful to all listening either live or in the recordings. Much transmutation will occur for the benefit of people and planet.
Get Access to the live calls HERE.
See you on the call!
Lovingly, Chireya

I'm always doing other chores when my computer is defragmenting the connected hard drives. The main reason for that is that it takes such a long time to complete and that other activities on the PC during that time may prolong it even further. So, instead of doing so, I figured it would be better to do something else in the meantime.
Defragmentation can take a long time depending on the speed of the hard drive, the occupied storage on it and the fragmentation level. While it is certainly possible to run the process over night, I decided that it would make sense to look for a program that would speed up the process instead to reduce the time it takes to defragment the drives.
SpeeDefrag is the answer to my calls and probably to yours as well. Instead of defragmenting the hard drives with Microsoft Windows running in the background it restarts the computer and defragments the hard drives before Windows starts. This means it is able to utilize more resources for the task and that there are less background processes of Windows running that may interfere with the defragmentation process.
You may configure that SpeeDefrag will shutdown or restart your computer once the defragmentation process has finished. SpeeDefrag automatically detects the hard drives, or more precisely partitions, that are connected at the moment and gives you the option to select each one to be defragmented.
Update: SpeedDefrag has not been updated for some time now, and the program's compatibility listing lists Vista as the latest operating system that it supports. While newer versions of Windows are not listed here, it appears that the program can still be used to run on those versions.
Update 2: The program homepage lists all recent versions of Windows as compatible now.
Users who are using Solid State Drives should however note that it is not recommended to defragment those drives at all, as it may have the opposite effect on a drive's performance. The program is however not able to detect those drives, so that it is up to you to disable the SSD drive letters during configuration of the defragmentation.
You can also try alternatives, like the excellent Defraggler or Ultra Defrag instead.Advertisement

Oh my God!
I thought they'd put my mum in a bag! I was in the shelter with my half brother Inca and I could hear mum calling and calling. I kept calling back, I don't think she could hear me though. I couldn't quite see what was going on, but when they let me out, I thought she was in a plastic bag 😦 It's okay though, don't worry….after I pulled it around a bit and smelled it I discovered it wasn't all of mum. I could hear her calling from somewhere else. I spotted her over the other side of bonfire where I couldn't see her. I found her and she smelled good. I can't say she looks good though, in fact she's banned me from putting the humiliating photos on here for now. After a bit a reassurance from her, I went to investigate what was happening to Inca.
I could see him laying on the ground being held down by my owners and another man, it was very noisy and Inca was very unhappy. I noticed that were bits of him all over the place and it was quite difficult to understand that not all the bits were him. It was a bit quicker for him, they said his wool was already to come off. He was pretty angry just the same. He doesn't look quite as bad as mum, a little less scruffy and a lot smaller than he used to look.
Hopefully they'll both now be more comfortable and not so itchy.
Okay, don't tell, but this is a sneaky shot showing how awful they look. I am sure in a week or two they'll look lovely.
I didn't like being shut away from mum and luckily, that shouldn't happen now for another year.

Heath Brandon's mother died when he was barely three years old. His father never spoke about her, or her family. So when her family reaches out to him after his father's death, Heath decides to make the trip to Louisiana to get to know the only family he has left.
But he soon learns that there was a lot more to his mother's death than he ever knew…and the beautiful old mansion on the Mississippi River has many secrets, secrets someone would kill to protect.
And the key to everything that happened when he was a child just might be hidden in his own memory…
