(The following article and speech was published in the Norwood Messenger, June 11, 1969
in Norwood, Massachusetts after Kelvin delivered this speech to his 412 high school classmates)
The title of the newspaper article was:
"Future Not Hopeless, But Full Of Hope – Kelvin Chin"
The chasm which exists between what is and what would be, the eternal paradox between reality and idealism, was vividly etched Sunday by Kelvin Chin, valedictorian for the Class of 1969. As he delivered his speech, "Reflections on a Paradoxical Reality," Chin, who has been an outstanding student-leader at the Hilltop, described the self-evident contradictions which exist today in race relations, peace concepts, and protest violence.
Throughout his speech, Kelvin portrayed the gap between man's comprehension of society's ills and the ideal society for which he strives. Concluding the challenge to his classmates, he called upon them to "take it upon themselves to close the gap."
"The future is not hopeless," he stressed, "On the contrary, it is full of hope."
Co-editor-in-chief of the TIOT, Kelvin has distinguished himself in a number of activities. A member of Troop 42, Boy Scouts, at the First Congregational Church here, he is the assistant Scoutmaster and an Eagle Scout with three palms along with being a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow. For four years he has been a member of the three bands at the Hilltop, serving as treasurer and secretary of the Concert Band. He held the first chair tenor saxophone of the Southeast District Band also.
An Honor student, he was chairman of the National Honor Society at Norwood High School this year, an English 400 Utopian Science seminar participant, and on the MIT high school studies program. He won honorable mention in the Science Fairs in his first and third years.
He plans to enter Dartmouth College this fall.
The text of his valedictorian speech follows:
"Reflections on a Paradoxical Reality"
"The Earth rotates, and with it revolves the human race. Is it spinning too fast? Are we becoming so dizzy that we are being absorbed by the confusing perplexities of life instead of searching for their answers? As technology advances and as the world population increases, international societies' political, social, and moral problems grow in number and complexity. With such a melange of problems on so many minds, clashing ideologies and contradictions are inevitable.
"People speak of warring their way to peace. Blow the other guy's brains out but keep the concept of world brotherhood in the back of your mind. Be an individual according to the status quo. These are a few paradoxes which are confronting mankind as a whole and American society in particular.
"From the beginning, the American Dream has contained as much egotism as it has generosity. In a day of British despotism, it was daring to proclaim that "all men are created equal." Yet the Founding Fathers excluded the Negro from the national egalitarian ideal.
"Formally, blacks were seeking equal rights – in restaurants, in voting booths and on buses. They had been suppressed for almost 200 years and it was high time that, with the help of the Supreme Court, some positive action was initiated to alleviate the segregation situation. This was the 1954 to 1965 civil rights legislation period.
"It is now 1969 and the "tables have been turned." Some blacks on campus are now demanding black dormitories and black dining facilities. The white segregation of blacks is unconstitutional but is not the reverse also unconstitutional? The idea held by some Black Power leaders of a "separate but equal" society is harmful to their societal adjustment. It is time to establish good relationships among all races.
"Violence and disorder are devouring a society seeking peace and world brotherhood. One glance at our streets and college campuses gives us the pathetic picture. How can our great nation be the promoter of international love and understanding if she herself is suffering from internal wounds?
"Rape, beatings, and murders are a few of the crimes law enforcement officials are increasingly noting in their record books. The time has come when we can no longer amble down a city street with a completely relaxed feeling.
"Some people seem to think that those who violate the laws of public order ought not to be punished if their violation has protest as its purpose. They feel that their sanctuary lies in the First Amendment which provides freedom to speak and to write, to protest and persuade, and to assemble. But the First Amendment means what it says. It guarantees freedom to speak and freedom of the press – not freedom to destroy property or to assault recruiters for munitions firms or for the armed services. The First Amendment protects the right to assemble and petition, but it requires that the right be peaceably exercised.
"Now this is not saying that protest is bad, but when it infringes on the rights and property of others, this is bad. No matter how beneficial the ends might be, they do not necessarily justify the means.
"Individualism is an idea lauded by many but practiced by relatively few. This is primarily due to society's infatuation for "not rocking the boat." Many people are afraid that if they express themselves individually, they will be ostracized until their return to the status quo. These "individuals" hurt themselves and their fellow man by remaining silent. Through their failure to say what they feel is right, they jeopardize their personal integrity which could result in unnecessary inner doubts and fears. As the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. expressed it, "Stand up for righteousness, stand up for the truth."
"Perhaps the worst "scene" is the war "scene" on this Earth of 1969. Fighting in the Middle East, Asia, and in Africa makes us feel insecure and apprehensive in this civilized world of ours. We read of bloodshed and rotting corpses, of disease and starvation.
"In Vietnam, we are fighting to maintain peace. This does not make sense but neither does the concept of war. We intervened in Vietnam to halt the bacteria-like growth of Communism which threatens world peace. Now Communism has worked effectively; the system is fulfilling its goal of productivity. The difficulty arises when the American point of view comes into the picture. We are being mesmerized by our very own propaganda. The concept of "what is good for us, is good for everybody" is not infallible. Maybe American democracy is not the answer for the Vietnamese people.
"This is our reality, a grim one but a very real one. And it is our responsibility as members of the human race to overcome these blunders and begin anew.
"It's not a big bowl of cherries" or "it's not all peaches 'n cream." These are expressions frequently used to describe life. And they're both true. There are times when you feel as if you're zipping along at 80 miles an hour on a superhighway and there are other occasions when you feel you've run out of gas in the middle of a desert. This is all part of the confusing game of life. Regardless of how formidable it sometimes appears, we must not lose our sense of balance. We must not lose our perspective on life itself.
"Paradoxes result because there is a gap – a gap between man's comprehension of society's ills and the ideals for which society strives. As individuals, we must take it upon ourselves to close this gap.
"The future is not hopeless. On the contrary, it is full of hope!"
Kelvin H. Chin wrote this speech when he was 17 years old. In the photo, he is delivering the speech to an audience of 2,000 guests, teachers, and students at his high school graduation in Norwood, Massachusetts.
He is now a Meditation Teacher, Life After Life Expert, and Author of "Overcoming the Fear of Death." He learned to meditate at age 19, and has been teaching Turning Within Meditation and coaching others in their self-growth for 40 years. He helps people understand their life challenges through their individual belief systems, and helps them find their own solutions. His past life memories reach back many centuries, and he accesses those memories in his teaching and his coaching in the same way all coaches draw on their own available experiences for perspective and effective analogies.

NVIDIA Ends Driver Support for 32-bit Operating Systems
NVIDIA issued a number of knowledgebase updates, and a number of things are going end of life. Nvidia is working on the 390 series drivers, and from the looks of it will be halting 32-bit support drivers. Whether this is just the professional series or also the consumer end-user drivers is a little unclear. But I assume both.
After Release 390, NVIDIA will no longer release drivers for 32-bit operating systems for any GPU architecture. Later driver release versions will not operate, nor install, on 32-bit operating systems. Driver enhancements, driver optimizations, and operating system features in driver versions after Release 390 will not be incorporated back into Release 390 or earlier versions. This impacts the following operating systems:
- Microsoft Windows 7
- Microsoft Windows 8/8.1
- Microsoft Windows 10
- Linux
- FreeBSD
NVIDIA intends to support critical driver security fixes until January 2019. The latest build version is 388, so 390 is coming up rather sooner than later. Now might be a good time (if you are still on a 32-bit OS) to update/upgrade to 64-bit. On the Steam statistics page you'll notice that about 2 percent of the players on the platform still have a 32bit OS. Canonical no longer makes 32bit versions available from Ubuntu 17.10. MacOS has already completely switched to 64 bit long ago.
There's more though as after Release 390, NVIDIA will no longer support the following NVS products (NVS 315 NVS 310). Not a biggy though. Finally, in a 3rd update, Nvidia mentions the end of support for Select NVIDIA Quad-buffered Stereo Features. Beginning with Driver Release 396, NVIDIA Professional Drivers for Windows will no longer support the following quad-buffered stereo features:
- 3D DLP and Tridelity stereo display modes User interface and NVAPI access will be removed.
- NVAPI-based DirectX Stereo on Windows 10
- The following APIs will be deprecated:
- NvAPI_D3D1x_CreateSwapChain ()
- NvAPI_D3D9_CreateSwapChain ()
Swapchains created via these APIs will return the error code "NVAPI_NOT_SUPPORTED," when using Windows 10.
- When an application using the unsupported NVAPI is recompiled, the NVAPI functions will be linked (i.e., the NVAPI interface level will remain the same) but will return the error code, "NVAPI_NOT_SUPPORTED."
- To continue using quad-buffered stereo, developers must switch to the Microsoft native (DXGI) stereo APIs.
- The following APIs will be deprecated:
- 3D Vision Pro option on the Dell M6700 laptop running Windows 10 Anniversary Update and newer
Release 390 will be available in December 2017. The NVIDIA support team will continue to address critical bug and security issues in Release 390 until December 2020. Thereafter, critical security fixes will be provided until December 2021. Future driver enhancements, driver optimizations, and OS features (i.e., from future OS releases) in driver releases after Release 390 will not be incorporated.
Thanks SH SOTN foir the news-submit.

So the new branch should come within the end of next week, according to this article? they just released 388.71, if they knew already 390 branch would come around this period, they could just skip this and release directly 390 with the fixes of 388.71

Considering in this day and age no one should really be on a 32 bit system i don't think many will be effected. Those that are most likely needed to upgrade their pc a long long time ago. Steam stats still show just under 2% of the userbase is still on 32bit system of some sort

NO i guess...
Just less work to release driver and maybe a more light package.
Nothing exeptional.

Considerating that the 64bit version work fine with most prehistorical hardware ( exept with AMD 64 754/939, blame AMD for this) and that modern 32 bit use most of the time iGPU or APU : it won't affect a lot of people

I think that was the right move as long as they keep supporting their legacy hardware.

Honestly, i *loath* the way AMD designed their interface.
The driver was one of the reasons i jumped ship.
nVidia's nvcpl does need a face lift, but i love how the options are just there, in a tree, just a single click away.

Nvidia just needs to speed up the control panel and it'd be perfect. AMD's is too bling IMO and gives the impression of bloat.
It could affect people just wanting to get a xx30 for their old PCs.

I pray that they ignore people like you asking for change for the sake of it. The current control panel just works. It's not pretty, but it doesn't bloody well need to be. It's fast and easy to get to the option you want to change. AMD's new setup looks amazing, but is a slow, bloated, labyrinthine mess that values form over function. Why any Nvidia owner would look upon it and think "damn, we're missing out" is beyond me.

Honestly, I think this is good news.
"Nvidia just needs to speed up the control panel and it'd be perfect. AMD's is too bling IMO and gives the impression of bloat.

"Slow? In my view it is superfast."
Mine generally takes about half a minute to load. It has been degrading over the years.
In fact, recently it has been totally resetting my displays any time I change a setting. It basically just sits there with the monitors off for a good 30 seconds. For some settings, this is longer than the time it gives to confirm. Like disabling stereoscopic red-blue 3D (because THEY ENABLE IT BY DEFAULT).
Game settings more or less lock up the GUI for a solid 10 seconds each time I change a setting like AF.
So yeah, I think there are ways to drastically speed up and improve the interface in general. I'd also like to see some legacy features be available again (without driver mods). Things like the extra odd AA modes (SSAA would be nice to see again, despite DSR). Them having an OC panel was also cool (bits), and would make sense since they already have everything else locked down (I want my BIOS mods back).
But mostly just speed it up for chrissakes.

Val, this is a good tool to see if a property falls in areas that are eligible for USDA Rural Housing financing. You type in the complete property address and zip code (no commas). Buyers can get 100 % financing of course for any properties that are in eligible areas (generally outside the city).
There is a maximum income. In general, the household (all buyers) income has to be under $74,250. The income can be a little higher depending on how many dependents they have under 18.

Back from a weekend of conferencing. Lot of fun, good friends, and super vanilla pleasures. Which is fine. But it's good to be home.
So my "friend" from fetlife has disappeared – i would say "ghosted" but we weren't working on a relationship anyhow. He had asked to be introduced to someone in the community where i used to live, and i was able to do that. And that was the end of that. Honestly, i'm not sure if that's because he got what he wanted or if he was intimidated by who i introduced him to, but it's not like it matters.
I'm off work the next couple of days, looking at organizing my house and my life a bit. Quit laughing, i am.
And seconds after i said that i got a fetlife message from someone who lives near me. A younger man, but at least in his 40's and not his 20's. (i know, Jade, i know, it's not about age…) And he's just being friendly anyhow, but that's nice.
Also, i'm sitting here looking at books i have that i have not read. One of hem is Erotic Surrender by Claudia Varrin and the other is Sacred Kink by Lee Harrington. i think i'll read one of them – commit to reading it, and maybe talk about it here. Anyone have a recommendation for which to read first? Anyone want to do a kinky on-line book club?

The wedding was just ending Saturday when the suspect approached with a 9 mm pistol and opened fire.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - An apparent stranger shot the bride, groom and two other people at an outdoor wedding in rural Arkansas, then was arrested after being chased by outraged guests, a sheriff's official said Sunday.
The wedding was just ending Saturday when the suspect approached with a 9 mm pistol and opened fire, Pope County sheriff's Lt. Aaron DuVall said. No one else was hurt.
About 50 people, including children, had attended the ceremony along Piney Creek north of Dover at a spot the lieutenant said was popular for picnicking and swimming. Dover is 64 miles northwest of Little Rock.
The suspect "was not associated with the wedding at all,'' the lieutenant said. "No one knew him.''
Police arrested Patrick Paul Duvall, 29, after a he was chased into a Russellville restaurant parking lot, said the sheriff's lieutenant, who is not related to the suspect.
The lieutenant declined to identify the four people who were injured, but he said the bride, groom and a third victim remained in the hospital Sunday. One victim was treated and released.
Deputies say Duvall will remain in the Pope County jail at least until a bond hearing Wednesday morning.
The sheriff's lieutenant said Duvall faces four felony counts of first-degree battery and a felony charge of vehicle theft after the shooting.

Back to School Shopping: Simple Ways to Save
According to the National Retail Federation, back-to-school shopping is the "second biggest consumer spending event for retailers behind the winter holidays." The average family with children in grades K-12 will spend $688.62 on notebooks, calculators, jeans, and everything else their kids need to go back to school.Back-to-school spending is inevitable, but that doesn't mean that you can't be smart about what you buy and how much you spend. The following are some suggestions on how to maximize your savings as you get ready for the 2012-2013 school year.Only Buy What You Need
New stuff is nice – but is it always necessary? School supply lists for elementary and middle school students are notoriously similar from year to year, and many items on that list – such as scissors, rulers, calculators, backpacks, etc. – are reusable.Further, many items your kids use during the year are far from used up when they come home in their backpack at the end of the year. Glue, colored pencils, and highlighters are often found in this group. Lastly, if you bought extra supplies the year before (easy to do with notebooks and folders), check your inventory before you leave for your shopping expedition.How Holly, mom of 2 girls in middle school, saves money: "The school supply lists for the upcoming school year are checked against our supply cabinet and is kept in my purse when shopping the sales. In exchange for recycling previously used items, we'll buy cute decorations, magnets or storage for lockers. New items are nice, but my kids now understand how using something from last year saves money and the environment. Freshly-sharpened colored pencils work just as well as those from a new box! "Keep it Simple
Beware of the rebate. Some stores advertise incredibly low prices; however, be careful if you see an asterisk that leads you to the words "after rebate." Stores gamble on the fact that only half of consumers are conscientious about sending them in. Rebates add another step (sometimes more) to the savings, and others are only good for in-store purchases when you do receive them requiring that you enter the store again and buy more things that you may not even need.Majority Rules: It's very smart to look for deals and compare retailers online or using sale papers. However, it's counterproductive to go from store to store simply to get the best deal on everything. With the exception of sales you find on high-priced items (such as scientific calculators or laptops), decide who has the best overall prices and just go there. The money you spend running from store to store will override the savings on the individual items if you go store hopping.Dress for Success Without Failing on Your Budget
A huge part of back-to-school expenses is clothes. Before you even go into a store or look online, take inventory – just like you'd take inventory of other school supplies. What still fits? What's still in good condition? Our "new stuff is nice, but is it always necessary?" statement applies here, too. Mixing and matching a few new items into the wardrobe is sometimes all you need to do.Another money-saving tip? Set a budget. This is especially helpful once your kids begin to develop their own sense of style. There are the basics, and then there are the extras. If your children know what you're willing to spend, they'll do a great job helping to balance the needs with wants. Plus, this will teach them a valuable lesson in budgeting, spending and saving!Finally, use the internet. In addition to advertising sales, retailers often advertise additional coupon savings if you buy online. Check out this easy-to-use list of coupon codes we found!How Marty, mom of a son in elementary school, saves money: "My favorite way of saving money back to school shopping is to buy clothing the year before during the end of the season sales. I've had my best luck with finding amazing deals at outlet malls. Then, I will pack it away and forget about it for 10-12 months. Then when I find it again, it's like Christmas, and I've already paid for it. And my kiddo has a completely new wardrobe."Final Tips:
• Buy extras of basic supplies (such as folders, pencils and notebooks) that you may need more of throughout the year. It's funny how quickly a $.19 notebook can turn into a $1.29 notebook once the snow starts to fly.
• Consider quality as much as cost. Saving a few pennies (literally) on off- or store-brand items isn't worth it if the quality is subpar. Don't be afraid to spend a few extra pennies (or dollars for larger items like backpacks) if the quality is clearly better. It'll be a wiser investment in the long run.What tips do you have for back-to-school savings?

Dear readers, as brickvention 2011 drew to a close, we took heed of Adam Reed Tucker's sage PA announcement, and got the fuck out. As we execute our diaspora to the four corners of the map, wind wakers tuned so the wind may be always at our back, we take a moment to recall the highlights of the convention, like memories whisping through time.

The Convention provided many a laugh, several thrills, oh and there were some pretty cool legos there too. We weren't exactly sure what was up with that raffling system, but who are we to question our illustrious and mature convention organizers?

RFHIC Corporation (RFHIC), one of the leading manufacturers of GaN Amplifiers, has signed a deal with Element Six (E6), a member of the De Beers Group of Companies to acquire its GaN-on-Diamond technology.
RFHIC (based in South Korea) has been investing in GaN technology for over a decade. They were the first fabless firm to use commercially available GaN foundry services. In 2008, they expanded their core competency from GaN-on-silicon (Si) to GaN-on-silicon carbide (SiC).
Over the years the applications of GaN have expanded significantly. The technology is now used in 4G LTE, next generation radar and communication systems. With the increase in demand and scale, GaN has become more cost effective and competitive when compared to LDMOS and other legacy technologies for a number of use cases.
In 2016, RFHIC started working with GaN-on-Diamond technology. The core limiting factor for GaN was the thermal performance of the substrate material. With the use of a diamond substrate, GaN performance can go far beyond what Si and SiC can ever achieve. According to a story published on Semiconductor-Today, RFHIC believes that GaN-on-Diamond is the right technology to unleash the full capability of GaN. The power density of GaN-on-Diamond transistor is expected to be more than three times higher than that of GaN-on-SiC.
RFHIC plans to make its GaN-on-Diamond technology widely available for applications such as RADAR, Tactical Radios, Microwave Heating, Satellite Communications, Power Supplier, and wireless 4G & 5G infrastructure.
Samuel Cho, RFHIC Chairman and CTO, said: "We are very excited about the vast possibilities enabled by GaN-on-Diamond technology. RFHIC expects that this technology will help us to provide a single transistor with RF Power of up to 1kW depending on the frequency, significantly reducing combining loss thus enabling true high power RF systems for a diverse range of applications. The obvious beneficial customers would be the radar makers as the current market's need is to replace tube based transmitter with high power solid state based transmitter. This GaN-on-Diamond technology will certainly accelerate the transformation of the Radar market as well as revolutionize the semiconductor industry. Furthermore, we expect the wireless infrastructure's base station and small cell would become more energy efficient and reliable with simultaneously larger bandwidth. This improvement will enable the systems' size to be substantially smaller, reducing the operators' biggest operating cost of space rental. RFHIC will work closely with Element Six and foundry partners for the capability of manufacturing ten thousand six inch GaN-on-Diamond wafers per year in the foreseeable future. RFHIC's technology roadmap is to introduce GaN-on-Diamond based solutions covering up to 40 GHz by the end of 2018."

The following season he was finally able to play a full term at the NHL level. Even then, a concussion near the end of the season put him on the shelf for the team' s last seven games. The 1999-2000 team saw Quint being traded to the New Jersey Devils, where he played four games. Quint was the player to be named later in an off-season deal between the Devils and the expansion Columbus Blue Jackets. For Columbus he began the year with their AHL affiliate in Syracuse, but, before long, he was back in the NHL.
The Durham, New Hampshire native went on to play two seasons in the Columbus organization before returning to the Phoenix Coyotes prior to the 2002-03 season. After only one season in Phoenix, Quint was acquired by the Chicago Blackhawks in the summer of 2003.
Quint played 51 games with the Hawks in the 2003-04 season and helped lead a rather young club. The following season he signed overseas with Blozano HC in Italy due to the NHL lockout. Quint remained in Europe over the 2005-06 season and competed with Kloten in Switzerland and the Berlin Polar Bears in Germany. He made his NHL return in 2006-07, after signing as a free agent in the summer of 2007 he skated in five games with the New York Islanders.
On the international stage, Quint represented the U.S. at the World Junior Championships (1994-1995) and the World Championships (2001).

Fable Soap Co Shopping Page
Wetstone & Fig Soy Candle
Wetstone & Fig Soy Candle
Fable candles are hand poured in small batches, insuring a perfect, quality pour every time. Each candle is made with 100% soy wax, so our candles burn clean for 40+ hours. Our founder was trained in aromatherapy and each candle fragrance is carefully created here in our California studio.
Fragrance Note:
Our Wetstone & Fig fragrance is inspired by the "City of Gold." Combining notes of Salted Air, Mediterranean Fig, and Sweet Grass. This Fragrance transports you to the mystical hills of Jerusalem and the diverse landscape, ranging from desert to lush green hills.
Top: Sea Salt Air, Mediterranean Fig, Primrose
Middle: Wetstone, Honey
Base: Sweet Grass, Yuzu
Ingredient Highlight:
Soy wax is made from soybeans; a natural, renewable source grown in many regions by local farmers. They burn cleaner with little soot released and are non-toxic. Soy wax also burns more slowly, retains fragrance longer, and is a biodegradable product. Happy home, happy earth.
Soy Wax, Proprietary Blend of Essential Oils and Fine Fragrances.
American grown cotton wick.
(Phalate Free & Non-Toxic)
How To Use:
We recommend burning for 3-4 hours at a time. Trim your wick to 1/4" (.6 cm) after each burning for best results. Allow the melted wax to reach the edges of the jar to prevent wax from building along the sides of the jar and tunneling. Dispose of the candle when 1/2" of wax remains at the bottom, this will ensure the safety of the product and your home. Never leave a candle burning unattended or within reach of drafts, pets, or small children. Candle jars are hot after burning, so allow wax to cool completely before handling.

New film explores Little France Park
Local residents Sarah Ford-Hutchinson and Barrie Williams have created a film exploring Little France Park in Edinburgh. This is the city's newest park and, covering 45 hectares, it is the largest…
Biggest new park in a generation
Little France Park is the city's newest park reclaiming unmanaged grassland for the local community and carving out a green corridor from the city centre to Midlothian. It will establish a new corridor for wildlife whilst offering a network of paths, cycleways spread across 45 hectares.
Active ambitions
Creating a network of paths and travel routes is key to the plans for the park and will connect routes in the South east of Edinburgh. The new paths cross boundaries between two local authorities and link surrounding communities to one of Edinburgh's largest employment hubs, the Edinburgh Bio Quarter which has over 7000 people working in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the Edinburgh University Medical School and a range of life sciences companies.
The active travel route also links Little France Park to Craigmillar Castle Park and the Wisp providing an excellent local amenity. This project is an excellent example of where development of an ambitious active travel route can achieve a whole range of outcomes, in the area of transport connectivity, public health, environmental improvement and in providing links between areas of social disadvantage and opportunities for employment.
Nature in your neighbourhood
The Park is being designed and managed to bring nature into the heart of the city, creating homes for wildlife and places for people to enjoy. The open mosaic of woodland and grassland is unique in the city and provides a great opportunity for people to explore wildflower meadows and watch kestrels hunting. Throughout this work consideration has been given to maintain and enhance existing views to Craigmillar Castle, Edinburgh Castle and Arthurs Seat. The local community have already taken part in planting over 7000 new trees in Little France Park for woodland creation which involved 239 volunteers. Meadow creation has been planned in the grassland areas which involves bringing in the local community and schools as in part of the Edinburgh Living Landscape project.
Investing in the city's future
The development of Little France Park and active travel route is led by the Edinburgh & Lothians Green Trust on behalf of the City of Edinburgh Council.

How the name Lavelle Hall came to light as told by Roy Stone himself:
So you want to know a little bit about Lavelle Hall? Well the name came from former students, Paul and Gerry Lavelle. They started with me over 20 years ago when I use to teach in St. Petersburg, FL and then when I moved to Tampa, they sold their condo and moved to Tampa. They just enjoyed learning with me and I enjoyed their company, they were like parents to me, we were that close.
A cute little story about Paul and Gerry Lavelle: she was a nun for 25 years, so to leave the Catholic church she had to go to the priest and ask permission if she could leave, and every time she'd go to the priest, the priest would say, "no I'm sorry, we need you, God needs you," and so they would deny her the right to leave. So this went on for like 5 or 6 years of her 25 years in the Catholic church.
Then finally one year she goes to another retreat - kind of thinking the same thing is going to happen, but she followed the rules and goes to the priest and says "Father, I'm ready to move on with my life," and the priest says "well my child we thank you for your service and I give you my blessings, God gives you his blessings, you may now leave the church." So, she left the church, only to be sought after a year or so later by the priest who let her leave, he ended up leaving the church, and they ended up getting married.
The priest was Paul Lavelle and she the nun, was Gerry Lavelle, and they got married and were married for 45 years and students of mine for 20 of those years. That's a little history about Lavelle Hall.
So, because they were so loyal to me as students, I think the name Lavelle is kind of nice, instead of "Roy Stone's Dance School" I think Lavelle Hall was a nice way to honor them and present the school.

text: rmulley 27 Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) So I just upgraded to FormZ 8 so I could start playing around with Vray. The videos are a bit lacking though in what I want to do. The example of the Barcelona chair is the kind of renderings style I use for retail displays I design... plain white floor and background with soft shadows underneath. I've attached a sample from Renderzone. This has been my go to setup for years and want to re-create it in Vray. Whats the best way to get this look ? Should I use an infinite ground plane ? How do I set the background to pure white ? My attempts to change the background to white don't seem to work Should I set it up as a recreation of a real work photo studio (There seems to be a lot of these demoed using 3DStudio & Vray) Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Social Media and Self Incrimination
Most of us know the mild embarrassment that follows a poorly thought out social media post. But a growing number of people in Minnesota and throughout the United States are facing criminal trouble due to ill-advised posts, pictures and videos posted online.
When posts become court evidence
A post to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media platforms can provide police with evidence of drinking, drug use, stolen materials, gang affiliation and even just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Here are three times social media activity resulted in harsh criminal consequences for those who posted (and others caught in the camera's eye):
- In Bartow, Florida, a woman used the social media app Periscope to live-stream a video of herself driving and getting lost on public highways. The problem was, she was not only lost but also drunk driving and admitted as much on the live broadcast. Concerned viewers called 911 and the woman was promptly arrested and charged with DUI.
- In Wildwood, New Jersey, three teens were charged with criminal mischief after posting videos of themselves engaging in "gallon smashing," a trend in which pranksters smash gallons of milk on supermarket floors and pretend to slip and fall.
- In Gainesville, Georgia, six people created a video of themselves displaying illegal drugs and firearms using the social media app Snapchat. After being shown the video by a concerned citizen, police were able to locate the six suspects and positively identify them as the people in the video.
These are rather extreme examples, but even more commonplace social media activities can prove pivotal in a criminal case. A picture of someone holding a beer can, a video of a fight, "checking in" to a bar on the night of a DWI arrest - posts such as these can haunt criminal defendants for years. Remember, the internet has no delete button. Even if you take a post down, it still lives on somewhere and anyone who saw it could have captured it with their own device.
For all their concerns over self incrimination, it's doubtful our nation's founders foresaw "selfies," Tweets and Snapchat when drafting and ratifying the Bill of Rights. Most people know they have the right to remain silent. Don't give prosecutors additional ammunition by posting anything on social media that can be used against you in court.
When in doubt, don't post. And always talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney at the earliest sign of trouble.

Reward increased in search for federal agent imposter
Just over a week after an unknown man posed as a US Marshal at three local businesses, the reward for information leading to his real identity has been increased.
Just over a week after an unknown man posed as a U.S. Marshal at three local businesses, the reward for information leading to his real identity has been increased.
His face has been plastered on televisions in Tampa, Miami, and Southwest Florida but not enough new information has surfaced.
"We need help from our community and this is one of the ways we can get some help," said Deputy U.S. Marshal John Kinsey. "Any information is good information."
The U.S. Marshals Service is now adding an additional $2,500 to Crime Stoppers' existing reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the fake agent's identification and arrest.
Last Tuesday, Sept. 13, an unknown male went to three businesses in the Palm Beach Boulevard area presenting himself as if he was a U.S. Marshal. During his time at each of the businesses, the man asked a series of unconventional questions which seemed highly suspicious to employees.
The man clearly looked like an authentic Marshal, wearing a bulletproof vest, a look-alike Marshals badge, and a holstered gun. However, after his suspicious actions were reported to law enforcement, it was quickly determined that the man was indeed an imposter.
"To hear all this stuff kinda scares me," said Bonita Springs resident Clarissa Holmes. "Hopefully the law enforcement are up handling this since they don't have a big history of crime here."
We also asked U.S. Marshals if this case is related to a man forcing his way into a home last week and sexually assaulting a woman in Bonita Springs.
"I'm not going to comment on an investigation led by LCSO. What I think we need to focus on is this individual's identity and hopefully once we get that, we can arrest him," Deputy Kinsey said.
Lee County deputies wouldn't comment and only told us it remains an active investigation. Both cases have a lot of people on edge and wondering won't release the location of the crime.
"It would be nice to kinda know of the area he was operating in."
Anyone with information on the identity and whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers and $2,500 from the U.S. Marshals Service. Tips may also be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com.

Tim is originally from Jerseyville, one of the many towns in Illinois that is not Chicago. He graduated from Drake University in Des Moines, IA, with a degree in public relations that he used for a frighteningly short amount of time. However, he continues to relate to the public in a strictly non-professional capacity.
While at Drake, he discovered his passion for improvisational comedy and founded the college's first improv comedy troupe – DICEY (Drake Improv Comedy Experiment, Yo). Upon graduation, he moved to Chicago to study and perform improv and sketch comedy.
He performed two critically-acclaimed revues on The Second City e.t.c. stage: Apes of Wrath and Soul Brother, Where Art Thou? He is also an alumnus of The Second City Touring Company and has performed in The Second City Guide to the Opera, The Second City Improv All-Stars, Baby Wants Candy, The Beatbox, and in shows at iO Chicago (The Improvised Shakespeare Company, Musical Armando) and ComedySportz. You might have seen him in videos for The Onion, the webseries Game Bros or on Chicago Fire and Sirens. He also provides the voice for DQ the elf on the comedy podcast Hello From the Magic Tavern. He loves superheroes, video games, his wife Rebecca and his dog Captain Trond (not necessarily in that order).
He is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and Actors' Equity.
Now a resident of Los Angeles, Tim can be seen as a writer/performer on the new seasons of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Netflix.

Journey to Indochina and experience a region that today offers fascinating ancient history, abundant natural beauty, warm hospitality, superb cuisine and a vibrancy that belies its difficult past.
Journey to Indochina and experience a region that today offers fascinating ancient history, abundant natural beauty, warm hospitality, superb cuisine and a vibrancy that belies its difficult past.
Traces of ancient Indian and Chinese empires characterise the landscapes of Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos, resulting in the somewhat archaic sounding moniker "Indochina". Connected by a common landscape of steaming jungles and the mighty Mekong River, these countries also share much history. Waves of powerful dynasties, Angkor kings, Champa emperors and more recently, the trauma of US aerial bombardment, have all left their mark throughout this region.
Vietnam - Cambodia - Laos - Myanmar
Why travel with us ?Indochina is a region we know intimately. Each country in the region has its own particular charms and will appeal to different people and different interests. We offer a range of small group tours in each country. For each country we offer a "Classic" or "Essential" tour which covers the highlights, usually with a few extras thrown in to make it a little more special. We also offer a "Hidden" itinerary for each country. These tours explore a little more under-the-skin of their destination, striking out into regions which see fewer visitors, usually making for a more interactive and immersive experience.
In Vietnam we also offer a culinary tour which visits the classic sites as well as learning more about the cuisine. In Myanmar we offer a "Mystical Myanmar" tour which offers the classic sights but also various regions less explored by visitors. We also offer several multi-country tours in this region based along similar principles. In many cases the Hidden tours are ideal for second or third time visitors who want to explore a different region and in many cases the classic and hidden tours run back to back so you could opt to do them together.
For those looking for a private tour in this region you can either choose to do one of our group tour itineraries, but on a private basis, or we will be happy to customise a tour to suit your interests. Peruse our tailormade options to get some ideas of additional experiences you could incorporate on a tailormade tour. Just get in touch with one of our travel specialists and we will be happy to put something together for you.
Bask in Cambodia`s warm atmosphere and experience a whole new way of life, surrounded by lush jungles, colonial towns, remote monasteries, a beautiful coast, spectacular temples and an endless stream of smiling faces.

Good Morning – on this the day before Easter Sunday!I am not writing a separate Bible Study this morning, but am including one of my messages from yesterday's Good Friday service. We had a good turn-out, and pastors from 6 churches in our ecumenical service. Each talk was on one of the Seven Last Words Jesus spoke from the cross.
John 19: 25b – 27
Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, 'Woman, here is your son.' 27Then he said to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
It is nearing the end of Jesus' time in his human incarnation – you might say he is getting his affairs in order. The other disciples have run away, but John, we assume John is the disciple whom Jesus loved, although the gospel of John never really identifies him, as it also never calls his mother Mary; John has stood by through the long hours on the cross; and the women, they had not run away; they had stayed to witness all that happened. Their witness was important – they would report everything, eye-witnesses that they were. They would tell how Jesus struggled to breathe, how every word he spoke was agony, how his blood ran down over his feet, how at the end the earth shook and the sky went dark. They would watch when Joseph of Arimathea took his body down from the cross – watch him lay it in a nearby tomb and roll the stone over the opening.
But one of those women, one of those witnesses to all the brutality of crucifixion, was his mother. As a mother, I both wonder at her decision to witness all that, and understand why she felt she had to do so. She had to be there, to provide whatever comfort she could, through the long hours of agony. Having seen mothers beside hospital beds, I can imagine that her friends tried to get her to go home, to rest for a little time, and I can hear her saying, "No, I must be here."
There is a song that is sung at Christmas time – remember this?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.
But how could Mary know that she would see her child on a cross? She remembered when he was a tiny baby, when they dedicated him at the temple; the old man in the temple, Simeon, said a sword would pierce her soul. He was certainly right about that! This day was a sword piercing her soul!
She remembered him as a boy – always well behaved, but somehow always loved by the other children. He was a leader this son of hers! She had seen that as the crowds gathered to hear him speak. She had followed those last few months, staying near the other women who followed and provided for him and his disciples. She had watched as the multitudes came to hear him; she had been there when he rode into the city with palm branches waving – what a glorious day! She had hoped then, and feared, as she saw the jealousy and anger on the faces of the religious leaders who also watched. And as the crowds gathered for the feast of Passover, she had heard the marching boots of the Romans. The powerful were aligning against her son.
On this day, she had watched as the soldiers there at the cross gambled for his clothes, spoils of war they considered them; but these were clothes she had made for him – the wool of his cloak she had sheared from the sheep, and carded out strong and fine, and spun into thread, and died with her own special die made from plants she gathered, and then she had woven it and sewn it into a fine cloak. She could still feel the softness of the wool in her hands. It had served him well these three years! And the seamless garment they threw their dice over – she had woven that as well, and given it to him when he left home that day.
She remembered the resolve on his face that day. He was going out to see his cousin John in the wilderness – but God was calling him to something greater. They had both known that day would come, when he had to follow his calling. She had wept that day, but not until after he had gone. When she saw him again, he seemed different; there was an authority about him – that day he spoke in the synagogue there in Nazareth and they tried to throw him off the cliff! He had challenged those in power from the beginning. And it had brought him to this.
He had told the disciples that he must die – she had heard him say it – that his death would be redemption, not just for the Jews, but for the Gentiles as well. They did not understand – but she remembered the words of Simeon – she had always known that it would be painful for her at the end. But perhaps this was not the end? How would God redeem the world through this cruel death? Could it be that he would truly rise? He had said that as well; he would rise on the third day. She held tightly to that tiny piece of hope.
But now – he was concerned for his mother. He was dying, but he was concerned for his mother! He had other brothers and sisters, but they would demand that she return to Nazareth, and he knew she would want to be with the new family he was forming, even now. And so, he spoke to John, the disciple whom he loved, and told him to consider her his mother from that day on. And he also spoke to her, and told her to consider him her son. She knew and loved the youngest disciple; they all knew that Jesus loved him and he was devoted to Jesus. He would need comfort – his leader and mentor and friend would be gone. Yes, he would need a mother, and she could be a mother to him. When she left the cross, it was with a new purpose.
Mary was there, in the Upper Room when the Resurrected Jesus appeared to the disciples – she did see her Son return. And she was among those in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost, when the Spirit empowered all those present. She did see how God could use even Jesus' cruel death to redeem the world. It is said that Mary and John went to Ephesus when the church in Jerusalem was scattered, and that Mary lived to old age. There is a house there said to be Mary's house. I hope to travel to Ephesus this fall, and see that place. That day when he was crucified was a horrible day, but it was not the last day; it was not the end. In Christ, the worst thing is never the last thing. God had something better coming!
Perhaps that is what we are meant to learn from Mary's story – there has never been a greater heartbreak than that Mary endured on that day – but God redeemed even the pain of that day. The worst thing is never the last thing. Even from our worst times, if we but turn to God, he can redeem them, and bring something good from them.
Would you pray with me:
Jesus, we know that you are concerned with those who suffer, with those who grieve. Help us to have compassion, as you do, for the suffering and the grieving, the outcast and the sinner. Help us to find redemption in even the darkest hour, to allow you to change the bad to good. Amen.

Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League table as they beat Bournemouth 3-0 on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds secured all three points thanks to goals from Sadio Mane, Georginio Wijnaldum and Mohamed Salah, as they produced a ruthless performance.
Here are four things we learned from Saturday's Premier League clash.
1. Liverpool Bounced Back From Dropped Points in Style
After dropping four points in five days last week, Liverpool needed to respond if they stood a chance of staying serious title challengers. They certainly did that at Anfield, as they blew Bournemouth away in an emphatic victory.
The win saw Jurgen Klopp's side return to the top of the table, and after two disappointing results three points were exactly what Liverpool needed. It showed their ability to respond and bounce back, and it definitely proved that they are still in the title race.
2. Bournemouth Were Simply Outclassed
When looking at what went wrong for Bournemouth this season, it's usually been a case of poor defending or a lack of attacking force. However it is fair to say that Liverpool were just the better team, and the Cherries were just trying to keep up with the league leaders.
Although their defence wasn't perfect and their attack was far from fantastic, there was only so much Eddie Howe's side could do against a fuelled up Liverpool. They now have to pick themselves up now and look ahead to their next game, against Wolves in two weeks.
3. Liverpool's Midfield Was Outstanding
In a team where the plaudits usually go towards Liverpool's fantastic front three, their midfield trio were crucial in securing all three points for the Reds. Wijnaldum, Fabinho and Naby Keita were excellent on Saturday, with the former scoring a delightful goal.
It seems that Klopp has finally settled on his midfield, after rotation has seen the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri and Jordan Henderson feature. Saturday's trio pulled the strings in a dominant performance, and showed potential for what they can produce in the rest of the season.
4. Jurgen Klopp Can Feel Confident Ahead of Bayern's Visit
The response from Liverpool came at the perfect time, right before German champions Bayern Munich are due to visit Anfield in the Champions League. They can now prepare for the round of 16 tie with the confidence and momentum from Saturday's win, which will be crucial.
Now it is a matter of whether Liverpool can continue that momentum and keep playing the fine football they showed on Saturday. They have done it so often this season and have bounced back from disappointment on multiple occasions, and now they need to put in a performance to remember at Anfield.

Holy wells and ancient ways
I moved to Glendalough in 2010, drawn to the area by the imposing landscapes and palpable sense of history. The area's old holy wells were of particular interest to me.
In Ireland, there has long been a tradition of water worship and ritual in both pre-Christian and Christian cultures. These wells were at the heart of that spiritual ecosystem, and I felt compelled to study them further.
Wicklow Wells
There are about 3000 holy wells sites marked on old maps going back to 1800. Some local friends and I set up a group called Wicklow Wells with the aim of documenting, researching and restoring about 30 of the total 120 holy wells in the county.
Often set in beautiful but hidden locations, many of the holy wells were completely overgrown and neglected, and in some cases in danger of being lost forever. Researching and documenting these sites has brought me together with some fascinating people, and recording the lore and traditions from the older generations has been a privilege.
We hope to make these holy wells accessible to local people and tourists, and in some small way make them once again part of community life.
Becoming a tour guide...
Many of the holy well sites form key points on ancient routes and pilgrim paths. Wicklow Wells group often organises walks and talks for the community. Events are posted on Wicklow Wells Facebook Page and proceeds from all walks and talks go towards funding the stone signs, information plaques and restoration work of the 30 wells.
I am also a professional tour guide for the area and lead heritage walks for both groups and individuals. Please contact me for more information email@example.com

How to kick off your campaign/
Campaigns & Elections has an excellent piece today about the importance of starting your campaign off right. Their conclusion is that campaigns that are planned before the launch are the more successful ones, and I couldn't agree more.
You can view the article here: Why the first weeks can make or break your campaign
Two points that C&E doesn't expressly make that I think are important:
1. You must have a campaign plan.
2. As part of that plan, you need to decide how you will raise money and how you will spend it.
If I had to choose the most common regret losing campaigns have, it's running out of money. Without a plan, money tends to get spent as it comes in. When it's time to buy ads to get a message out to voters in October, the money is mostly gone.
Create a campaign plan before you announce your candidacy. Helping first-time candidates with process is why I started Campaign In A Box. Email me here and I can help walk you through the process.
If you would like to get more campaign tips, you can check out "Running for Office" magazine, subscribe to the blog or connect with me on twitter or LinkedIn. You can also get an campaign tips emailed to you once a week by signing up to to the right of this post.

Medical Billing & Revenue Recovery Specialists
Imagine a revenue cycle management (RCM) company that combines the services and unique expertise of a medical billing company, a collections agency and a law firm that specializes in healthcare compliance and litigation. That one provider would have a staff that is full of medical billing & coding professionals, paralegals & healthcare attorneys, compliance experts & collections specialists, all driven by a single vision—to make sure healthcare organizations like yours have the time, money, and insights you need to focus all your energy on your one core mission: caring for your patients' health.
Well, we imagined it too. And the result is The Patriot Group.
The Patriot Group offers both in-network and out-of-network physicians and healthcare facilities a comprehensive, cost-effective back-end solution to their client's revenue recovery and compliance needs.The Patriot Group's clients include hospitals, physician practices, general practitioners, urgent care centers and ambulatory surgery centers. They are founded and managed by a healthcare attorney and supported by an in-house law firm.
Most practitioners studied medicine, not business or law. These medical practitioners must deal with compliance issues, credentialing issues, billing, audits, revenue shortfalls, book keeping, bad debt, and payment battles with insurance companies. With only so little hours in the day and so much revenue needed to cover operations, many health care practitioners find themselves in a bind and end up leaving money on the table that they don't have the time to recover.
Typical Billing Organizations are unfamiliar with laws and regulations that health plans are required to comply with.
These laws and regulations are designed to hold the various health plans accountable, and mandate quick and accurate reimbursement of medical claims. This is especially true for out-of-network practices. Ignorance of the law not only impacts recovery, but also opens the practice up to audits and fraud investigations. These type of health plan actions could cripple if not entirely sink a practice.
That's where the Patriot Group comes in, offering its clients a one-stop solution to their financial management needs or the option of hiring the company to provide these services la carte. Health Plan communication and contact is only done through the company's in-house law firm, The Force Law Firm, P.C..

Fruit shops are very sweet here in Shanghai. There are plenty of them around town and at least three near my flat. They only sell fruits and, every once in a while, you think you may have spotted vegetables but those are technically fruits, like tomatoes or avocados.
Anyway… I find them extremely sweet for several reasons. First, the fruits are always so impeccably displayed and vendors have a real feel for colours. Striking out are the yellow of pomelos, the soft orangey-pink of grapefruits, the unambiguous orange of oranges and darker orange of tangerines, and then, taking over, the spectrum of reds of apples, to finish with the amazing fuchsia of the dragon fruit. Second, they're open late, very late sometimes and, with their characteristically open frontage, they brighten the street with their energy-saving light bulbs and colours, when shops around have shut down or when people rush back home. Finally, it always feels like they constitute a small hub of family or even community activities, during both daytime and nighttime. Because the shop is permanently open onto the pavement, the grand-mother, mum or whomever sits opposite, peels some vegetable, feeds the baby or teaches a toddler how to walk. Older kids run around naughtily and customers buy their fruits while walking their dogs.
I've chosen my favourite fruit shop somehow randomly but I've decided to be exclusive to it as a strategic measure to start knowing the local community outside my compound and, perhaps more importantly, to practice my Mandarin. The guy I assume to be the main shop owner turns out to be very nice and sympathetic to my linguistic efforts. He gave me a sincerely amused but polite smile when, instead of asking for píngguǒ (apples), I asked for péngyou (friends).

|Yes, they will take dry flies.
Whew! If I provided a fish-by-fish account of today, this post would be way too long! I can't even remember all the details. "Pandemonium" is the best way to sum it up.
Fish were all over the same sz. 10 Almost I used to catch my last salmon. In fact, I hooked five salmon on that fly today. I landed all but one. They pursued it very aggressively. It was really intense.
Better still, I managed to hook and land two on dry flies. One absolutely exploded on a sz. 8 Grizzly Bug, then went totally berserk, cartwheeling all over the pool. The other took a sz. 6 Split Wing Bomber (green w/brown hackle). That fish also went nuts, though the take was a little less explosive than the first.
|This Almost is ready for retirement.
The grand total was seven salmon hooked and six landed. Interestingly enough, only one took the fly on the first pass (the smallest fish). Every other fished showed anywhere from one to five times before finally taking. Both dry fly fish initially showed for the Almost.
I pricked a couple others on dries, but did not connect. I rose one early in the day on a sz. 10 Cascade, but could not get the fish to come back. I had my hands full today!
The details...air temps topped out in the mid-to-upper 60s. The water was 58ºF. Flows are still excruciatingly low, around 80 cfs. Sometimes the fish can overlook the low water, I guess.
Today's action aside, the water is so low, I've found it difficult to get into a rhythm while fishing wet flies. Because of this, I have been fishing dries more often lately. I hear a lot of anglers say that, in order to catch these salmon, we must fish deep with heavy flies and/or sinking lines. While that can be true under certain conditions, there are times when they are willing to take a fly from the surface. Not every year is conducive to good dry fly fishing. Right now is the time to fish dry flies. Get in on it while it lasts!
My ebook "Flies for Connecticut Atlantic Salmon" provides tips on when, where, and how to fish dry flies for broodstock salmon. Check it out!

Pandora is ready to make you laugh. The streaming-music service on Tuesday launched a new comedy station: New Comedy.
The station debuted with a mixtape by Gabriel Iglesias called Five "Fluffy" Years. It features a collection of skits from Iglesias' favorite comics, including Nikki Glaser, Brian Regan, Rachel Feinstein, Jim Jeffries and Sam Morril.
In general, the New Comedy channel targets folks seeking to discover new comedians and new material from old favorites.
Along with the new station, Pandora shared some notable factoids about comedy listening on the service. For instance, Jim Gaffigan is its most popular comic, Kevin Hart's "Situation on the Phone/My Biggest Fear" is its top skit, and comedy fans tend to favor metal, punk, alternative, indie, blues and rap music.
