On episode nine of Beats of All-Nations Radio we are excited to bring to you a brand new mix from Los Angeles producer Co.fee. He's been producing beats since 2005 and in 2011 he released his first EP on My Hollow Drum, titled Easy Listening, followed by the Bermuda EP released in 2012. Co.fee brings a uniquely refreshing feel to the show with this drum heavy eccentric mix of music from the international community.
"This mix is basically a playlist of my favorite songs and artists that I am feeling at the moment. I tried to keep it as diverse as possible." -Co.fee
We started putting together events in 2005 sometimes it doesn't seem like 10 years ago, but here we are. You've been making beats for just that long as well, it is a real commitment. How did you get started and what was your drive like then compared to now?
I had the Fruity Loops software like in '04. Downloaded it just out of curiosity. When I first used it I didn't really understand how it worked so I gave up. Six months later I decided to use it again and totally got it. I figured out how to loop and sample vinyl around that time too so I was hooked after that. My drive back then was to learn as much as I can about beat making, studying the work of my favorite producers, and getting better with the software. I always used to dig for music like crazy, even before I was making beats, I just always had an interest in finding new music or classic albums, but learning how to produce motivated to dig even more than I was used too. Now I'm still trying to get better and challenge myself, but the focus is more on making cohesive projects instead of just trying to make a bunch of beats at a time.
You wanted to primarily work with rappers back then, how did that work out? Any out-the-trunk albums or hip hop comps floating around out there?
I grew up on hip hop so it was always a dream of mine to know how to produce, that was the motivation to use Fruity Loops in the first place. I made a Soundclick page and posted my beats on there, and eventually made a Myspace page searching for artist I could send beats to. I sold beats and even gave beats to friends or local rappers around that time, but it wasn't anything on the large scale, half the time they wouldn't even end up recording to my beats lol. I don't think theres anything floating around online of someone rapping over my beats from 8 or 9 years ago. Posting and searching for music on Myspace was a great thing though, thats how I got connected with all the guys in MHD.
How did joining MHD and going to events like Low End Theory change your process for creating instrumental music?
Between going to Low End Theory every week and hearing DJ mixes from the guys in the crew, I would hear some of the most experimental and progressive music at that time. It inspired me to try to experiment more with my own beats, and to make full instrumental songs instead of just loops someone could rap over.
How has the entire scene changed in your eyes since then?
Its definitely gained more notoriety which is cool, I have noticed a change in sound too. When I was first going to events I noticed a lot of DJs would play real bass heavy and experimental beats. Now I hear a lot more melodic and danceable tracks at shows. It's good to know that theres a variety of influences in the scene and it doesn't stay static.
What tools are you using for production and DJing, Hardware/Software?
I mainly use Reason for production, I started off with Fruity Loops and used it for about two years but since then I've been using Reason. For DJing I use Serato, but for my beat sets I use Torq with my Midi Pad.
We obviously noticed a large range of global rhythms constantly referenced in your sound, where does that influence come from?
Beastie Boys are one of my biggest influences and I always thought it was dope how they incorporated Latin and African music into what they do. Also I'm a big fan of Mars Volta and loved how they incorporated their Latin background into their music. That inspired me to sample music from my background, I found some crates of my parents records, it was mostly Ghanaian music from the 70's and those were the first records I sampled. I'm also a big fan of Madlib and Timbaland and noticed they sampled a lot of Indian and Middle Eastern music, so that encouraged me to search for more music from that region. That's the cool thing about hip hop production, it can expose you to different types of cultures through sampling.
You've put out some pretty awesome EPs and mixes along the way, what can listeners expect on your debut album? Expected Release?
I see my album as a combination of what I did on my first EP "Easy Listening" and my second one "Bermuda" there's some heavy songs mixed in with some melodic beats too, its all still very sample based, and I tried to go even further with sampling music from different countries. It should come out late spring or early summer.
Favorite acts out right now? Pretty much everyone I played in the mix lol. TALA, Rat King, Hud Mo, Quakers, Dirty Art Club, Mr. Flash, Death Grips, Run the Jewels, Warpaint. I'm still listening to the Tame Impala albums a lot also.
If you had a chance to produce for any three rappers this year who would you chose?
Schoolboy Q
Pusha T
Danny Brown
You recently rocked with Teebs at Low End and seem to build together often enough, are there talks of collaborating on any projects or future performances?
Yea that show was fun, Me and Teebs do collaborate a lot so you might see us put out a joint project this year, its just a matter of how satisfied we are with the material.
What's up with your residency?
We have a night Called "Kaleidoscopic Sounds" at Hyperion Tavern in LA and we just have friends come by and play their vinyl collection, it's cool because its a chill environment so theres no pressure to play certain types of records. If you do a set there you can really play whatever you want.

In a new post for The Farm Club, I preview Sunday's game between Indianapolis and Arizona.
Though it didn't look to be the case when the NFL schedule was released, the Colts game against Arizona looks to be one of week 12′s most intriguing contests.
The host Cardinals (6-4) have quietly emerged as playoff contenders, and are currently on a three-game winning streak. A strong defense has led the way, as according to Football Outsiders' DVOA ratings, Arizona possesses the league's top defense. In terms of traditional metrics, they are tied for the eighth-best scoring defense, and have allowed the fourth-fewest yards per play.
As a team, the Cardinals are 14th in FO's DVOA ratings and come in at eighth in Advanced NFL Stats' efficiency rankings.
The Colts (7-3) rebounded nicely from a blowout loss to the Rams in week 10, beating Tennessee 30-27 last Thursday. After falling behind 17-3 to the Titans, Indianapolis scored 20 unanswered points and 24 points in the second half to pull ahead.
The team now has a three-game lead over Tennessee in the AFC South and will now have its eye on seeding for the AFC playoffs. Indianapolis is 13th in team DVOA and 14th in the ANS rankings.

Every home has those kind of dead spaces that no one really uses. Hallways are an example of them, where everyone walks through but doesn't stop. You need them to get from room to room, but you're not going to stand around or have a seat. But just because you don't spend hours in the hallway, it doesn't mean it can't look great! It's the first place that guests see when they come into your home, so it should make a good impression. There's lots you can do with that small space to brighten it up. It doesn't have to be boring and underused, just because you use it as a passageway. Here are some ideas for how to make your hallway look fabulous.
Brighten It Up
It's not nice to walk into your home and find it dark and unwelcoming. And it won't be enjoyable for anyone who comes to visit too. If you want your hallway to be more welcoming, you should make it light and bright. Because I like white and off-white shades at the moment, I wouldn't use a lot of colour. A pale hallway will help to reflect any natural light that comes in and stop it looking too shadowy. You could add some brighter accent colours to make things lighter too.
The space by your front door can end up having lots of things floating around. If you're not not careful, shoes, coats and other accessories can pile up. Even if you have hooks or a shoe hanger, it can look messy. But you can find a lot of beautiful storage that won't take up too much space in your hallway. I like benches that you can sit on to get your shoes on, and store your shoes inside too. Even better than coat hooks is a small wardrobe, so you can hide everything away. I imagine it's especially useful if you have kids!
Telephone Table
Remember when you had to talk to your friends on the landline phone in the hallway? We don't do it as much anymore, but a landline is still useful. At least now we don't have to wait for anyone to stop using the internet before we can make a call. I like the idea of having a small table and a telephone in the hallway, even if you don't get much use out of it. I would much rather choose one of these classy vintage telephones, though, and pair it with a small table in a similar style. Modern phones don't have the charm of those old designs.
And then there's the staircase. Unless you live in a bungalow, of course. Stairs can sometimes be just a way to get from one floor to the other. But I don't see why they can't look great too. The first thing you should address is the steps themselves. Are they covered with carpet, and if they are, should they be? A beautiful banister can make all the difference too, as can what you do with the walls. Some artwork or photos as you ascend the stairs is great to look at but don't go overboard.
Your hallway doesn't have to be dull. Just because it's a functional space, it doesn't mean it can't be beautiful too.
Do you currently love or loathe your Hallway? What changes would you love to make to it?

The Top Ten
Best song... But without Eminem this song is nothing... Eminem kills it.
You can't describe how amaZING this song is! It's just that amazing! I love this song so much and have listened to it more than 100 times
I am a diehard weezy fan this is obviously his best song this shouldn't even be considered a song. It's just so amazing! Eminem "raps" it up with a lyrical medley of --------. Interpret that any way you wish. I love this because Lil Wayne and Eminem are the two best rappers of all time and when they collide the world gets dropped on somebody's head!
Lil wayne and eminem? ofc I am votingV 171 Comments
I love this song its the best in my opinion. I listen to it every day at least over 10 times, this song is my life! I can rap this whole song. im right pro now ;) haha jk but I know all the lyrics and I don't know what I would do without this song... it is my life
Its just beast, great beat, great flow, and its so catchy and striking!
Best Lil Wayne song, also one of the best rap songs of all time!
Best song I've heard from Lil Wayne so far.
Beat is very good. Classy how in the music video he tied in the inception theme. Cory gunz kills it!
REAL GS MOVE IN SILIENCE LIKE LASAGNAV 83 Comments
One of his best song at least in his top 3 the I mean
Sky's the limit isn't that good I'd say this is his second best after 3 peat
The best part about it, is that lil wayne says that his seconds, minutes, hours go to the almighty dolla' and to the almighty power of ALLAH...
Definitely my favorite song by lil wayne right after Blunt Blowing this should definitely be at lest number 3.
I know all the words. - PanteraForeverV 39 Comments
I think this is the anthem of lil wayne fans.. Just awesome some..
This song is so good my mom sings to it! Ha it has a nice beat and his lyrics are very clear
This is mine and my boyfriends song, it's so god. ;)
I love it! I can't stop listening to it, it brings back some really great memories and I listen to it everyday.
This is Easily his best song, then a milli right after itV 67 Comments
Weezy Baby! Wayne's best song yet, kills it with his flow, and Drake tops off the masterpiece with the fantastic hook.
Now tell me you love this song, get it to the top where only heaven's right above it! Wayne's best song ever, and drake's part just puts the song on another level!
I love the lyrics here, drizzy and weezy go HARD together! More more more please!
This ones by far the best, the lyrical play is insaneV 54 Comments
Instead of all the rap songs about girls, cars,... that most rapper sing (even Lil Wayne), this is the first time he sing a very meaningful, great melody song. I really like this song.
Wayne has more slow meaningful songs actually. Look up "Something You Forgot"
One on Lil Wayne's slow but more meaningful songs... Well done
This song shows true depth, and proves that Lil Wayne is more than just an ordinary rap artist who only raps about clubbing and partying. It doesn't rely on swears and Auto-tune, and instead is natural with little synthesizing, something more rappers should try to accomplish.
I love this song. The first time I heard it seems very melodious and I like it. - StevenUniverseIsAwesomeV 68 Comments
This is not only Lil Wayne's best song, it's one of the best songs of all time. The video, Bruno Mars, the lyrics ; they all combine to produce something that is really EPIC.
Look, I know Lil Wayne isn't exactly the greatest rapper in the world, but of late, his work has been really impressive. How To Love, Drop the World and now this classic, provs my point.
He's definitely on his way to becoming one of the greatest rappers in the world, right up there with Eminem and Tupac.
How hard he may try he can't reach the level of the legends- Tupac, Eminem and Biggie... they will remain the best
Lil Wayne stays on topic and it relates to almost everyone< it's a very chill song
Lil Wayne really showed how good he could do, and Bruno Mars enlightened this song! - RandomThingsV 69 Comments
Best Lil Wayne song by far. He is lyrically amazing and Jay-Z has great raps mentioning 2-Pac and Andre 3000 which is by far the best part.
Jay-Z and Weezy kill this song. how is this song not number one? This is a great song to listen to at anytime during the day - javananthonydavis
BEST SONG EVER, I mean a serious number 2, 3.. Number 9?
This lyrics are amazing and meaningful. This man writes the most beautiful songs he's not singing about cars ou woman.. Ly Wayne
THAT SEASON WORDPLAY thoughV 22 Comments
I think this is the anthem of lil wayne fans.. just awesome
the hottest song ever... Amazing verses with great music
amazing beats, lyrics and sounds totally like a hip hop song
Best rap song. Listen to this to get HYPE. Pissed it isn't number one!
Best Lil Wayne Song Hands Down! He Proves He Is The Best Rapper Alive! Wezy f Baby Please Say The Baby!
Easily the best Lil Wayne song. Lyrically Creative, unique beat, and shows that he can have fun with it.V 17 Comments
This song is just amazing... Superb lyrics, superb melody. One of the most meaningful songs I have every heard. Of course, it is nothing without Eminem. Love this song!
This is a great song, I can't stop hearing it. It should be in a higher spot
I would say this should be higher, but lil Wayne's verse was amazing, and eminem's was NUCLEAR. He shredded his bars while simultaneously re-introducing the old Eminem to the world and it was incredible. Lil Wayne did an awesome job opening it though, and that can't be ignored - Thicc_Neeson
yeV 37 Comments
The Contenders
The beat is slow and calm, and just the whole vibe is amazing and so enjoyable.
Takes me back to summer days chilling with a big bag of weed and some mates.. His best song in my opinion
I'm Wayne's most understanding & connecting fan, this song is definitely one of his best. The mood is just real.
I think this is Wayne's best track ever this track made the carter 2. I really don't know what drop the world is doing at the top. But for me its hustlers musik
cockV 28 Comments
This has got to be the best... I mean the carter 3 was pretty awesome, and most of the best are from that album, but this should be mucch higher, at least top 5! Come on drop the world is not Lil Wayne's best song, without Eminem its nothing!
This song made the Carter 3 and Lil Wayne for that matter and should be in the top 3.
This song is the most Hype on the carter 3, and that is lil wayne's best album.
Should be #1V 2 Comments
John is Epic! There is just something amazing that makes me remember the good times during summer and I want to party!
It is evil rap song Lil Wayne is evil rapper it's my idol
Uh john, rap genius should be number one... Tunechi one of the greatest artists
Ever - anthony
The beat is hard! - CoolModsV 11 Comments
This is sick! Possibly one of Lil Wayne's top 10 songs! The verses are very well made. It should be top 10 for sure!
Dude this is his #1 song! That other weak! This is for sure my favorite Wheezy song! He is the rapping KING! Nothing can stop the king in his brightest moment! This is his hottest song ever! Uh oh, better call the FIREMAN!
Are you kidding? This song is a milestone of rap music. This did more for Wayne's career than any other song. This DEFINES Lil Wayne for me. Top 3 for sure
Best beat he ever had but this is flames I had to call the fireman to extingushe the flames - CoolModsV 1 Comment
Nice rhyme, rythym, bass and beat. Wayne and drake just made this song a epic song! Don't you think
Really good Rapping by both Wayne and Drake. The rhymes are just too good, could listen to it over and over and it would still sound fresh!
One of my favorites by Lil Wayne, Great lyrics, Everything is fantastic. This song should be on Top 10.
Wayne spits in literally every line in this song I'm surprised it isn't higherV 13 Comments
Very under rated song by Lil Wayne, honestly I don't really like Lil Wayne but this has got to be in my opinion one of the best rap songs of the early 2000s.
I agree I have always like this song Lil Wayne truly believe it should have been higher on the chart lists. It never seem to get much play on the radio from what I remember.
Should be higher on the list. its way better than songs like 6 foot 7 foot. should be in the top ten
Needs to be higher on the listV 5 Comments
I'm a kobe fan but this was a great song about lebron Espicially because of how he grew up poor which drake basically says in the hook.
Man this song should be in top 10 instead of Mr. Carter...what!
He goes off in this song. it defines how he thinks act and sees the world. if this isn't good then I don't know what is
Amazing! He goes ham. Sick beat, sweet lyrics. I love it
This song should at least be top ten! It's awesome
One of his bestV 2 Comments
Amazing song to calm you down, My personal favorite on his new Album Carter IV. Can't believe it's not ranked higher
Love this song it should be on the top 10 this song gets me pumped up and wanna make me never give up on anything
This song is Lil Wayne's Masterpiece. I don't know how all those crap songs are in first, this is the best lyrics I've ever heard in any song
Shame it's not in top 5 here, because it should be.V 18 Comments
LIL WAYNE GOES HAM ON THIS SONG! There was no stopping what he could accomplish with this track. The carter I was an amazing album and I'm me was released as an EP just proved how much better it was! listen to the lyrics man!
Wayne at his best
Killed it! ;)) what a beast the best rapper alive Go weezy
boshV 1 Comment
Obviously the best song. Everyone has heard this song, this should AT LEAST be in the top 5
Song should be much, much higher on the list than it is. This is like a gangster's theme song. Maybe not the absolute best, but top 5 at least
A song that any Wayne fan will like! Fantastic beat, but the lyrics really kill it. Absolutely fantastic song, not any worse than lollipop, a milli or any other Wayne single.
OK your A GOON, WHAT'S A GOON TO A GOBLIN?! YEAAAV 14 Comments
! This song has everything. It also has so many top artists like lil Wayne, nicki minaj, drake and many more as I can't name all of them. It is one of the best young money songs and lil Wayne plays a big roll in the song. It has to be in the top ten. It peaked at no 2 on billboard hot 100 so its obviously a great song. Please listing to the song and vote for it
Without Gudda Gudda, Tyga, and Lloyd this could've been good. Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj were okay and Drake was easily the best one on the song. - WonkeyDude98
This whole song is ruined by Drake and Gudda Gudda.
I think dz song is the bestV 6 Comments
Seriously? Why isn't this song ranked higher? Sick beat, sick lyrics, sick flow, and I don't even like Lil Wayne that much...
This song has a great beat, sick lyrics, and is just a super chill song. Its not super popular because it wasnt on the carter albums. Everyone should listen to it!
This song has so many amazing lines and quotes. I don't understand how it's so far down on this list.
Best weezy song ever sick beats and bars should be in top 5V 6 Comments
Greatest song by Lil Wayne so much emotion its real its not about hoes or money this song is about his home city and how much he cares about other people...
This is definitely the best Lil Wayne song. Clearly most of the people voting in this list know nothing about the real Wayne since this song is not number 1
I love this song it mean about new orleans 1 one the best s/o to new orleans
One of my favorites.. off his best album everV 3 Comments
This Song is so awesome everybody should definitely Check it out and First of all Check out The Musik Video on YouTube KILLS EVERYTHING
This song is so last year.2012 was a great year for no worries
Now worries is the best song from Lil Wayne
Truly sick in all ways. "You see money right there, yeah that's Toonchey right theya, yeah that's batman right theya! " I smoke more than a magic show! Sick beat!V 2 Comments
Great song so underrated
Amazing beat and killer lyrics. Please listen to this song if you haven't heard it, so under rated. Garentee you'll love it!
Lyrics are sick and beat goes hard... one of many underrated weezy songs
Got Money is probably his best! Ys it down here! - josephvellappally
I don't like most of his songs but this is one I do. I also like GIVE IT UP TO ME feauturing shakira and BEDROCK! but neither are on here. - nikki72
I love this song! The beat and lyrics are wickedly amazing! This song should be in the top ten. Lil Wayne is a fantastic rapper.
Lil Wayne's best album in my opinion. the Carter VI is secondV 5 Comments
Its awesome it's my second favorite song - kanye
Ft Drake you Guys are kiddning it should be at least at the top 10
I should be in 2nd rank
At least top 10. this tracks a banger!V 17 Comments
This song defies all lil wayne songs, his most underrated hit!
More like worst rapper alive - DaWyteNight
Like mentioned, this song's lyrics kills almost every other song. It seems like there are so many metaphors in it.
Plenty of lyrical mechanics
This probobaly the best Lil Wayne song when it comes to lyrics
THIS SONG IS SO HYPEV 2 Comments
Without a doubt the best song produced by Wayne. The deep lyrical input allows the listener to see inside Wayne as a man and to connect with him on a leer other than smoking weed, getting money, or sex. The older Wayne songs are much better then his new stuff. The realest song he's ever made.
Has to be one of his deep emotion songs and also the lyrical content is great!
One of Lil Wayne's realest songs and deep and emotional
This song is good - CoolModsV 2 Comments
For me this songs is one of best rap songs ever made..
This is the most politically fueled song of Lil Wayne's career and one of his best. It was a comeback for both him and New Orleans after Katrina and is one of the hardest beat drops of his career.
This is the best song ever. The quality of the bass is amazing. I think it ranks up in the top 20 of hi best. This is the best song in the whole entire world.
How is this not higher? These oldies are what made Wayne a legend.
This should be in the top ten! He stops rhyming words that degrade women and claim him shooting up the block like Tupac long enough to make a lyrically wonderful rap about real world problems. This is what Wheezy can accomplish if he puts down the same overused lyrics and really catches the pen on fire!
Great song should be higher
Best New School Wayne Song
Unbelievable ):/ this should be at least number 2
Although this song is very explicited but still you should hear it because it is one of the best songs of I am not a human being 2.tthis track has got wonderful beats and it should at least peak at the top tens of this list
This is Lil Wayne's best song and the beat is really good
Wonderful beats this song has got
I love Rich As F***. I wish it charted in the Australian charts but it didn't. At least I got it on my Android.V 3 Comments
This Song Was Sick! You Need To Vote For This ; I don't Understand How People Could Not Vote For This Song I Mean I Loved This Song And I Still Love This Song It Has A Very Deep Meaning.
Feel the notes feel the pain make ya vote this beats insane
This song is mind blowing, I listen it everyday... Awesome song.
Only once the drugs are done I feel like dying..V 2 Comments
Favorite one. Should be higher, kills it and it's ll him unlike drop the world where he doesn't even make the good part of the song
Wayne goes unbelievably hard on this song. Probably his best song lyrically.
I don't understand how this song is 89, it's incredible. One of Wayne's best songs eve. Th lyrics are sick, shows how much of a true gansta Lil Wayne really is.
Without a doubt weezy's best songV 7 Comments
Pisses me off that people don't even know what made him famous this is what people were singing back in 04 that got him to the top
This beat is hard and the lyrics are good - CoolMods
#40? Are you kidding me? This so much better than Drop the World. Eminem stans are everywhere, smh.
This song is peak Wayne - AH81WasAClassAct
You guys are so right! This along with Hustla Music and Lock and Load should be in the Top 5. Anything around the Carter 1 - Carter 2, and all the mixtapes around that time (Dedication, The Drought, Suffix...etc.) were the peak of his lyricism.
"Get 'em get 'em Weezy hit 'em where you kill 'em easy
Sit 'em in the river, leave em, they find 'em tomorrow evening"
Please don't shoot me down... Because I'm flyin I'm higher...i sweat money and the bank is my shower and that pistol ismy towel so stop sweatin me coward! Best song ever
How the hell is this song at place #79. This is the most dominant track of his amazing mixtape "No Ceillings" I think the problem is lil wayne has just too many good song's ( even though this is not a real problem ;)) but despite this fact "Watch my shoes" should peak at least in the Top 20's. Weezy goes HAM on this one. Funny metaphors anazing flow you can call it : Lil Wayne
Literally one of the sickest rap songs I've ever heard and one of Lil Wayne's finest performances. Two thumbs way up.
Lil Wayne utilizes his verses in the greatest way possible. If this doesn't make at least Top 20 by the end of this year, I'm gonna flip my car. - Mcgillacuddy
This is new, so its obviously low, but this song is amazing.
This is the best. It's a gem. Drake also raps good in this song. Please listen to this song and vote for it.V 6 Comments
It a very good song
They can't get on my system because my system is the solar PHONE HOME! WEEZY
"Hip hop is my supermarket... shopping cart full of fake Hip hop artists"
Look At Me Now is at the bottom? This song is awesome, love the fast rapping and Busta Rhymes especially
I like this song. It a decent song but I know it's a Chris Brown song and his lyrics were terrible but I went through Wayne's lyrics and they are really good one. So I would give this a 4/5 instead of 3.5/5. though I like it I don't think it deserves a 5/5 - AlphaQ
Way too cool one! Busta hats off! Superb song wit a nice beat! It should be under 3!
The music kinda reminds me of my old haunted mansion video game soundtrack...it's actually pretty catchy though, seeing as I'm not a rap fan
So catchy and he sounds great!
This is an absolute masterpiece by lil Wayne. Been one of his best since years... - AlphaQ
This is the best he ever made! LOVE IT!V 2 Comments
This song go hard because it talk about the life out there because there is always a girl you like and then you'll break up
Classic love this song..
This one of the best Wayne's songs... full of emotion and feeling attached to it. that's me though
A piece of his life in words and a clear picture of the life he lives painted with a melody that allows the lyrics sink in properly! The best!
Best of lilwayne!
Just love dis rapper a lot

Earlier this week, Google showed us how they plan to transform the way we'll watch television by unveiling the features of the upcoming Google TV. You can check out the new Google TV website, but briefly, some of the product's coolest features include:
• YouTube perfected for TV – Double rainbows never looked so good! Google TV will optimize any YouTube video for your 50-inch plasma.
• Simultaneous television and Internet – Watch the Oscars and tweet your snide remarks on the same screen.
• Smartphone remote control – As if your iPhone didn't already do enough, you can now use it as a remote control for GoogleTV.
• Online Web surfing – Access the Web from your couch using an easy-to-use interface.
• Apps galore – Google TV comes preloaded with apps like Netflix, Pandora, Amazon Video on Demand and Gallery. Starting early next year, apps from the Android marketplace will work on Google TV.
Google TV sounds pretty awesome for your living room, but can it really revolutionize the way you think in the board room? Can you expect your online videos to immediately see a 300% increase in views? Will families start gathering around the television to watch the product demo you've posted on YouTube?
Probably not.
While Google TV won't instantly transform the way we think about video, it is one more piece of evidence that should show companies with a weak online video presence that they are quickly falling behind. Just five years ago, it was easy to discount the need for online video when the only place to put your videos was one lonely page on your website. Even as YouTube started exploding in popularity, it was easy to pass off video as something that other industries should be concerned about.
With Internet video on every smartphone and now making its way into the living room, it is impossible to deny that online video makes a difference. Just like even the loudest naysayers ran out of ammunition for shooting down the need for a website, it is getting harder and harder to defend a lack of online video.
If you're one of the many companies with a weak online video presence, it's not too late to get into the game. You can start by finding out what your target audience wants to see. If you create videos that have real value to your audience, you'll be amazed at how much exposure your content will get. You may even make it onto the big screen.
Get into the game with online video. Find out how Fathom can help you create an Internet video marketing campaign that will get you noticed on the Web.

Love makes us all feel funny. That sense of giddy disorientation, unsinkable bliss and complete fascination with a brand-new love can be so overpowering, that it's hard to picture it's all about feeling. While the outcomes hardly make love less mystical, they do start to shed light on why it can make individuals feel so amusing.
Helen Fisher, a research teacher of sociology at Rutgers University, is among lots of scientists who believe the flush of a brand-new love is enhanced by natural stimulants in the norepinphrine, brain and dopamine . She discusses that high levels of these natural chemicals can make individuals lose their hungers and their desire for sleep, simply by thinking of their new infatuations. "These are basic traits commonly associated with romantic love and with these natural stimulants," she says. "What else could explain the way you continuously consider a person, about the way you want to read them your bad poetry?"
"When a person is passionately in love, it is intriguing and exceptionally interesting , and if the liked one is not there, upsetting," states Volkow. "The truth that drug addiction and enthusiastic love may trigger the exact same responses, signals to Volkow that drug dependency is particularly dangerous given that it taps into a natural feeling.
She points out that recent research studies reveal the exact same regions of the brain consisting of the frontal cortex which is triggered when a druggie is high and when somebody in love is looking at a image of a liked one. Scientists at University College in London just recently recorded changes in the brains of individuals who described themselves as " genuinely and madly" in love. The scientists, Andreas Bartels and Semir Zeki used a functional magnetic resonance imager to scan the brains of 17 lovehappy volunteers. When the team showed volunteers pictures of their fans, the results were remarkable. Four small areas of the brain illuminated immediately the same locations that have actually been revealed to respond to euphoria-inducing drugs.
Old buddies, apparently, do not quite cause the very same stir. Fisher is conducting similar studies and is scanning the brain activity of people recently in love.
As the majority of know; however, the rush people feel from brand-new love usually doesn't last forever. And Fisher is likewise interested in understanding the biological stimulants and anthropological explanations for all phases of love.
She read this argues that there are 3 main stages to a love relationship: lust, romantic love and attachment. The very first, she states, is " to obtain you searching for anything" and is driven by hormones like testosterone.
The romantic love phase, which creates the brain chemical reactions described by the London scientists, serves to " require you to focus your breeding energy on a single person at a time."
And the fmal, less steamy phase of accessory is to make sure that any kids produced by a love match has parents at least through its early years.
Research study reveals there may also be chemicals related to sensations of accessory. The animals immediately formed attachments when researchers injected a natural chemical called oxytocin into the mice. When they injected chemicals that block the effect of oxytocin, Fisher states; the mice " prevented their partners and acted like cads."
Recent studies have actually zeroed in on the chemistry of love, revealing what type of chemical and neurological activities happen at various phases of human and animal relationships.
Love is enhanced by natural stimulants to the dopamine, brain and noreinphrine .
Gushy romantic sensations much like the high of drug dependency.
When thinking of the loved one, areas of the brain stirred.
The stages of lust, attachment and love are impacted by body

Memory-Efficient Parallel Computation of Tensor and Matrix Products for Big Tensor Decomposition
|Niranjay Ravindran, Nicholas D. Sidiropoulos, Shaden Smith, and George Karypis
|28th Asilomar Conference on Signals, 2014
|Download Paper
Low-rank tensor decomposition has many applications in signal processing and machine learning, and is becoming increasingly important for analyzing big data. A significant challenge is the computation of intermediate products which can be much larger than the final result of the computation, or even the original tensor. We propose a scheme that allows memory-efficient in-place updates of intermediate matrices. Motivated by recent advances in big tensor decomposition from multiple compressed replicas, we also consider the related problem of memory-efficient tensor compression. The resulting algorithms can be parallelized, and can exploit but do not require sparsity.

Investment thesis: The Firehose Portfolio.
My broad investment strategy is to invest in world wide, wireless and wired data communications businesses to capture growth in advanced smartphone and mobile technologies.
I use the firehose analogy because the data flowing in and out of smartphones resembles some overpowering gusher from a high pressure firehose. Demand for data and internet video is surging, telecom operators world wide are consolidating, while, at the same time upgrading wired and wireless infrastructure and capacity. Profitability is likely to surge.
One of the main market players in Europe driving disruptive change is Altice SA. Lead by Board President, Patrick Drahi, Altice SA is a highly entrepreneurial, disciplined, operationally focused, acquirer of wireless and fixed line broadband businesses. From an initial base in the Dominican Republic, Altice has added wireless and fixed wire systems in Israel, Portugal, and France. A protege and former employee of John Malone, Drahi's view, like Malone's, is that there are significant economies of scale, technology and scope in the broadband and wireless industries, which are best exploited by huge size.
At the same time, we think another side to Altice's story is that operating management lead by Dexter Goei can impose new discipline and improve profitability on larger and larger operations, and it is this discipline and the implied value to be captured that makes Altice such a disruptive force and interesting investment. The plan is to improve the technological backbone of the systems, the penetration of subscribers on the systems, and the profitability of each subscriber. At the same time, acquisitions are made with relatively aggressive leverage, which the company then pays down equally aggressively from cash flow.
Each of Altice's recent acquisitions still offers significant upside, particularly, in France-but the company continues on an aggressive acquisitions path. In the first half Altice closed two very large deals. Portugal Telecom and Numericable-SFR. In both instances, the strategy is to be able to offer quad play wired and wireless services through the leading national platform.
In France this required the merger of the largest cable and wireless services and will require significant investment in fiber to the home networks and in LTE/ 4G wireless capacity.
In Portugal, the systems were advanced but subscriber profitability poor. Though it has only been two months the signs of improvement in subscriber quality are clearly positive. In both markets, improvements have lead to higher than expected EBITDA.
Altice interest is not confined to Europe. Recently, Altice made its largest offer to date for 70% of Suddenlink, the 7th largest US cable operator with 1.5 million residential and 90,000 business customers. With operations primarily focused in Texas, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas and Arizona, Suddenlink is present in attractive growth markets for both residential and business services. In 2014, Suddenlink generated $2.3 billion in revenue and over $900 million in EBITDA. The transaction is to be financed with $6.7 billion of new and existing debt at Suddenlink, a $500 million vendor loan note from BC Partners and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, $1.2 billion of cash from Altice with the remainder representing the roll over by BC Partners and CPP Investment Board. With current financing the deal values sudden link at around 11 times EBITDA. The deal should close in the first quarter of 2016, but that will be only a first step into the US market.
It is also his view that the US broadband industry is consolidating at every level below Comcast and Charter/TWC slash Liberty Broadband.
Cablevision seems to be Altice's next US target. CVC has 5.5 million passings, 2.6 million video subs, 2.7 million broadband subs. The rumored deal is for $34.5 per share (last trade $28.50) or $9.5 billion in equity plus assumption of $8.2 billion of net debt, or $17.7 billion. CVC currently generates $1.8 billion of EBITDA, so the deal appears to be worth around 10 times cash flow pre synergy with Sudden Link, pre cost savings. Recently, Altice shifted the company domicile to Amsterdam from Luxembourg and following the lead of many acquisitive media entrepreneurs, created a two class share structure. On August 12, 2015, current Altice shareholders received 3 shares of a new A share (with 1 vote) and and 1 share of a class B share (with 25 votes). We expect the company to finance the majority of the transaction with its own non-voting shares and the assumption of debt, as the two class structure allows current managements to preserve control while growing aggressively through acquisitions. We wonder however if a share exchange of voting for in essence non voting shares wiill be attractive to CVC non Dolan family shareholders. If more inducement is needed to finaalize the transaction then we presume Altice's Canada pension and BC Partners will provide the funding.
Along with Liberty Global, it seems to me that the combination of scale economies and good operating habits developed by Altice will lead to significant equity creation over the long term in all of the company's related equities. These include Numericable – SFR, Altice, and any other that may be created. As usual with the entrepreneurial breed of management, it may be a rough ride on occasion, but it will be long and fruitful. Equally important, these two companies propel change across the telecom landscape in Europe (and, elsewhere). I own both A and B shares.

Drive responsibly and adjust your speed to road conditions. Remember the Pufferfish trailer does NOT have brakes!How NOT to tow a boat: See this story from Western Australia>.
Please report any problem to the trip organiser and boat officer.
Bob Jane T-marts recommend that you over-inflate your tyres by 14kpa (2 psi) to compensate for the additional static load.
You should also inflate your tyres before you pick up the boat as even the short trip from the boat shed to the service station can permanently damage your tyres. Of course, you should also check your tyre pressure when the tyres are cold.
Please make sure that if there is more than two jerry cans of fuel in the shed, the excess is transferred into the red boat tanks. At the coast, consider selling any excess fuel to trip punters/towers if you think you're going to end up with too much to store in the shed.

In Australia last year, Earth Hour's organisers required participating businesses to pledge to reduce their emissions by 5 per cent during the following year. This year, that requirement has been dropped.(That's maybe why the picture below doesn't actually show much by way of Darkness in Sydney Harbour - businesses actually had to make a commitment...)
And Malaysia??
From Last Year: How important does the Toronto Star think this "Earth Hour" thing is?
Important enough for FOUR front page stories...
And when I look at the picture of a dark Sydney Harbour, what do I see? Well, lights.

RESIDUAL STRESSES INDUCED BY LASER-SHOCKS - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract : When irradiating a metallic target with a short and intense laser pulse, a high pressure plasma is produced on the surface. An elastic-plastic wave is, then, propagating in the target, creating plastic strains. As a result, a residual stress field is induced. In this paper, by mean of a very simple model, we evaluate the laser produced plasma pressure. The analysis of the resulting wave propagation allows us to compute the plastic strain field. Using these results, we express analytically the induced surface residual stress and the plastically affected depth. We show how this work allows the optimization of the use of laser-shocks as a fatigue surface treatment and an example of application is presented.

Praising The Annual Checkup
As a veterinarian, one of the most common things I hear people say is that they do not need to bring their cat to the vet because their cat does not go outside. The American Veterinary Medical Association published a report listing some shocking, related statistics — among cat owners, nearly 45% say they do not take their cat or cats to a veterinarian annually.
It's a sad statistic, because annual examinations provide an extremely valuable opportunity to perform a full physical examination, which can be crucial in detecting disease processes before a patient shows signs of illness, especially in cats. These are the most common silent or hidden illnesses in cats that can often be detected early with the help of a trusted veterinarian.
Hyperthyroidism, the most common hormone imbalance in cats, is a disease of the thyroid gland in which a benign growth in the gland produces too much thyroid hormone. The thyroid hormone is responsible for setting the body's metabolic rate. When there is too much of this hormone, the body's metabolism significantly increases, which can result in a variety of symptoms, including weight loss (despite a normal to excellent appetite), muscle deterioration, heart disease and high blood pressure. Untreated, hyperthyroidism can lead to heart failure, sudden blindness or sudden death. Fortunately, hyperthyroidism can be diagnosed with a simple blood test. Most cats respond very well to treatment and can continue to live with a very good quality of life. Treatment options include oral medication, prescription diets, radiotherapy and surgery.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive, irreversible loss of kidney function. CKD is the most common kidney disease of cats and affects almost 3% of the general feline population. Though CKD can affect cats of any age, it is most common in older animals. Studies have reported that 30% of cats over the age of 15 years have CKD. Cats suffering from it will often display signs of increased thirst and/or urination, weight loss, high blood pressure and muscle deterioration. Kidney function can be easily evaluated with a blood test and a urinalysis. CKD cannot be cured; however, there are many treatment options that can be utilized by your veterinarian to slow down the disease process, including prescription diets and medications. Many cats can be treated successfully and can look forward to months or often years of quality of life.
Diabetes is a metabolic disease that results in high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period of time. Most cats suffer from type 2 diabetes, also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes. Symptoms may include weight loss, increased thirst, frequent urination and increased hunger. Left untreated, diabetes can result in death. Diabetes is commonly detected by testing for high glucose (sugar) levels in the blood and/or urine. Insulin injections are needed to treat most diabetic cats, but there is the potential for the diabetes to actually resolve or go into remission. Once a cat enters remission, the disease can often be controlled with a proper therapeutic diet — and the cat can enjoy a great quality of life.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common acquired heart disease in cats. One study found that the prevalence of the disease in cats could be as high as 30%. HCM is a disease of the heart muscle in which the muscular walls of the heart become too thick (or hypertrophied). This thickening results in the heart having to work too hard to pump blood out of the heart to the rest of the body. Veterinarians often detect signs of HCM early by listening to a cat's chest during a physical examination. An increased heart rate, heart murmur or extra heart sounds may be noted as the diseases advances. HCM is usually definitively diagnosed by an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram). There is currently no cure for HCM, but once diagnosed, most cats can be properly monitored at home and by a veterinarian for signs of heart failure — at which point medication can be initiated to help support the heart and the patient.
Cats are natural predators and have evolved to hide pain and illness. Even the most experienced owner may miss signs that indicate that their cat is sick. By working with a trusted and skilled veterinarian, many diseases can be detected early on physical examination, which can result in a longer and happier life for your feline friend.

Peer to Peer Fundraising is a proven method for nonprofit organizations and their supporters to fundraise. In Peer to Peer fundraising, a charity's supporters take on the role of fundraisers themselves, asking their friends, family, and colleagues for donations toward that organization. It can come in many forms: it can be centered around an event, like a walk-a-thon ,where participants collection donations from their community. Or it can just be a virtual campaign. The common theme is people reaching out to their community.
What Makes Peer to Peer fundraising So Great?
1. More asks means more donations. An army of supporters asking for donations on your behalf is better than a 2 person development staff doing the asking.
2. More effective asks means more donations. A supporter that asks their friends and family for a donation will get one 60% of the time. Compare this to an appeal directly from the organization which is likely to get a 2% response rate.
3. Peer to peer fundraising is recession proof. Grants, major donations, and government funding decrease in uncertain times. Communities of supporters will continue to rally to your cause even in poor economies.
4. Peer to peer fundraising democratizes philanthropy! This is my favorite. An ardent supporter of your organization may not be able to write a check for $100,000 but that same person can mobilize their friends and family to raise $100,000. And unlike the major donor, a successful peer to peer fundraiser can bring 100's and even 1000's of new donor to your organization.
Peer to Peer Fundraising Is Not New
In the past peer too peer fundraising took many forms. Students selling candy to raise money for their schools and people soliciting their neighbors during the holidays for the American Heart Association are a couple of example that i remember from my youth. The desire to help an organization that means a lot to you has always existed, but the tools weren't there to make it as effective as it is today.
Peer to Peer Fundraising Today
The internet took peer to peer fundraising to a new level. Fifteen years ago, the first online peer to peer fundraising campaign we created generated $6 million and transformed a small organization. Today, peer to peer fundraising has benefited from the prevalence of smart mobile devices. Network effects and our increasingly connected world means that peer to peer fundraising is here to stay regardless of the platform or technology du jour.
What About the Future of Peer to Peer Fundraising?
Some would argue that the future of peer to peer fundraising is in do-it-yourself (DIY) fundraising by millennials. Others would say that the future is in mobile apps. Many contend that payment systems and the evolution toward friction-less donations is the future of peer to peer fundraising. These topics all merit further examination…and future blog posts!
Peer to peer Fundraising is Still About Relationships
Ultimately, peer to peer fundraising has been and always will be about relationships. The strength of the relationship between the fundraiser and the donor will determine the effectiveness of the ask and the likelihood of a donation. And while not everyone can be an influencer, an ask from a friend or family member will always be more effective than a solicitation from the organization regardless of the method of delivery.

After a bumper 2017 year of awards, nominations and success for the hybrid feature documentary Alison directed by IPO member Uga Carlini of Towerkop Creations, the team behind Alison signed with JourneymanPictures. With all African territories already sold, Journeyman Pictures have already secured their first international TV sale with mainstream TV channel TVN in Poland.
Alison is the story of survival against all the odds when in 1994, Alison Botha was abducted at knife-point by two men outside her home in South Africa. Driven into a nature reserve off the main road, she was raped, disembowelled, almost decapitated and left for dead. Against extraordinary odds, mystifying the doctors who had treated her, Alison survived this horrific attack. But this was only the beginning of her struggle. This is the remarkable story of her fight for justice and recovery.
Alison was nominated for 5 SAFTA Awards , won best African documentary at the 2017 AMVCA Awards as well as best screenplay at the 2017 Writer's Guild of South Africa of MUSE Awards. Alison is presented by Towerkop Creations in association with kykNET Films, the DTI, the NFVF and Waterfront Film Studios, starring Botha as herself and Christia Visser as a young Alison.
Uga Carlini
Of Italian descent but proudly and fully South African, filmmaker Uga Carlini has extensive film experience both in front of and behind the camera, with a career that's stretched across South Africa, the United Kingdom, Australia and Fiji. A drama graduate of Stellenbosch University, Uga returned to South Africa to become the founding owner of Towerkop Creations, a film company specializing in female driven heroine stories. Recently voted a "Woman of the Month" in the "Extraordinary Women Of South Africa" initiative, Uga is the first filmmaker and the first South African company inducted as a member of the South African / American Business Chamber.

VPN.AC in a Nutshell
VPN.AC does not have as big a name as other VPN providers but it offers a lot of value. The price is competitive for the features provided. The company has a very strong privacy policy and allows several anonymous payment methods. Performance is stable, although speed was on the low side — which is the only significant complaint we have about this otherwise excellent VPN service.
VPN.AC offers a number of features that go above and beyond what you get from a standard VPN service — especially at the VPN.AC price points (discussed below). They include:
- Support for OpenVPN, LT2P/IPsec and PPTP protocols.
- Custom apps for Windows, Mac OS/X and Android. Other operating systems are supported via generic VPN apps. VPN.AC has good setup instructions for all major platforms.
- VPN servers in fifteen countries in Europe, North America and Hong Kong. That is somewhat less coverage than the typical VPN provider, but VPN.AC does have servers in the countries that are likely to be most appealing because of their liberal Internet access policies, such as the United States.
- "Virtually unlimited" bandwidth, by which the company means monthly data transfers are capped at 1 terabyte. Most people are unlikely to hit this limit, even if they share a lot of files.
- Up to three connected devices at a time — more than the standard two devices that most companies allow.
- BitTorrent is supported (although you have to use specific VPN servers).
VPN.AC makes strict guarantees regarding privacy. It promises that "we do not log/monitor any kind of user activity such as visited web-sites, emails, files transferred, instant messages, DNS queries, etc." The only thing it does log, according to the company, is "some connection logs (to our VPN service) for security and support purposes."
Most VPN providers claim to have a "no-logs" policy. But few are as specific as VPN.AC about what exactly they do log. (And it is unlikely that any company keeps absolutely no logs, since some types of connection logs are necessary for maintaining VPN servers themselves, as VPN.AC notes.) We like that VPN.AC is very open and transparent about its logging practices, and makes realistic promises.
The company also offers privacy protection by using shared IP addresses. That means that multiple users who are logged into the VPN appear to have the same IP address. As a result, associating online activity from a particular address with a specific person is essentially impossible.
VPN.AC also supports several private payment options. PayPal and Bitcoin are its main payment methods, but it also allows credit and debit cards, prepaid cards, wire transfers and payment by SMS. The range of private payment methods adds to the privacy features of VPN.AC.
Software and Applications
VPN.AC is notable for offering custom apps for not just Windows, which is most typical, but also Mac OS/X and Android. The apps are well designed and stable. They make it easy to configure different VPN options — such as which server to connect to and which protocol to use. These features are not usually available in generic VPN apps — so having them on OS/X and Android as well as Windows is a plus.
We found the performance of VPN.AC to be decent, but not excellent. On average, download speeds when logged into the VPN were as much as 40 percent lower than the bandwidth available while using a standard connection. That is a significant drop. Given that other VPN services usually provide download bandwidth that is only about fifteen percent lower than a standard connection, VPN.AC does not shine in the performance category.
That said, some VPN servers from VPN.AC offered much better performance than others. It's also worth keeping in mind that the performance drop will be less significant if your base Internet connection is on the slower side (under about 25 megabits). In other words, unless you have a high-bandwidth connection from your ISP, the speed reductions when logged into VPN.AC are not likely to be very different from the performance you get when not using a VPN.
Lastly, note that some of the performance drops may be the result of VPN.AC's relatively small network of servers. With locations in only fifteen countries, VPN.AC covers less geographic area than some of the larger VPN providers. That is not necessarily a bad thing for everyone. But it means that performance is likely to be lower if you are connecting from a region far away from the company's servers, like South America and the Middle East. On the other hand, if you are in East Asia or Europe, VPN.AC is likely to deliver better performance because it has VPN servers designed to serve customers based in those regions.
Customer Service and Company Size
One of the ways in which VPN.AC tries to stand out from the competition is by keeping things small. The company says it offers "a better customer support experience: we do not externalize support. Here, you talk directly to those who designed and implemented the entire VPN service from A to Z."
We did not need to contact customer support, since we had no problems. But the thoroughness of the documentation on the company's website gives every reason to believe that the VPN.AC team is dedicated and competent.
Price and Cost
VPN.AC offers competitive pricing. It starts at $4.80 per month for a year-long plan. Per-month pricing is $9.
These are not the lowest VPN prices out there. But given the strong privacy policy of VPN.AC and the excellence of its apps, we think they are good prices. You could pay $3 per month for a VPN that has fewer privacy guarantees and no custom app for your operating system. But the moderately extra cost of VPN.AC may be worth it to people who want a good match between price and value.
Also of note is that the company offers a seven-day trial period. That's longer than most other providers, whose trials are usually in the range of one to three days. If you are attracted to VPN.AC but are worried about the performance drops noted above, the extended trial period is a good way to make sure the speeds will be acceptable before committing.

What It Deduplicates:
What It Moves Over During Merge:
Where It's Limited:
During merges, the master entity ID is changed as we must create a new contact/company instead of updating it. This is due to a limitation in the Nimble API where we can't update tags when updating contacts. As such, we must create a new contact and remove the old one in order to preserve the tags.
Tasks, Activities, File Attachments, Messages and Leads are not kept during merges when these items are in the non-master contact/company.
