Rating – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book is just one big ball of fluff, with an occasional bit of smut.
So, honestly, what is to dislike about that?
This book is obviously only short, and it's more of a bridge book than anything. We get a glimpse at life for the Inner Circle after the war, and a few little hints about the unrest in some of the courts regarding the loss of the Wall.
(But let's just focus on the Winter Solstice present giving, yes? It's so much happier. We'll get to the doom and gloom in the next books.)
With this book is also the introduction of a few new POVs, which, honestly? I didn't really care for them. I liked Rhys's (obviously), and Mor's, but Cassian and Nesta's chapters just bored me a bit.
I also keep waiting for an ACOTAR book that will make me into a Nesta fangirl, but I sadly still hate her. She's still rude (in one scene she's rude to Feyre in a pub, and then has the gall to tell Feyre that her rent is due – in case she'd forgotten. And Feyre, being the sweetheart she is, gives it to her) and I just can't get away with her.
There's an excerpt at the end of ACOFAS from the next books, and it looks like they're gonna be focusing on Nessian, which I am hardcore devastated about.
I'm still gonna read them because it's SJM and I would legit read her shopping list, but I'm not ecstatic about it. Hopefully we'll get more Feysand and Mor, which will sweeten the deal. And, who knows, maybe I'll grow to like Nesta (haha doubt it).

Grayhawk, LLC is the culmination of forty-seven years of evolution.
From humble beginnings, Drywall, Inc. (incorporated in Kentucky on March 18, 1967), was purchased by William A. Bell in 1971.
At the time it was a small, almost dormant residential drywall company. Mr. Bell infused new life into the company to make it one of Lexington, KY's finest residential drywall subcontractors.
In the mid-seventies, the company started moving from the residential market into the commercial market, adding metal framing, acoustical ceiling systems and exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) to its repertoire.
In 1979, Mr. Bell had a vision, which propelled Drywall, Inc. into the prefabricated exterior wall panel business. He felt off-site manufacturing of exterior wall panels could compress construction schedules, improve both productivity and quality and add diversification to his company. After one and one half years of testing the concept, Mr. Bell formed a new company named Panel Tech, Inc. (incorporated in Kentucky on August 3, 1981). Panel Tech, Inc. flourished as manufacturer/erector of prefabricated exterior wall panels and subcontractor for field installed EIFS, while Drywall, Inc. continued to focus on metal framing and interior finishes.
Prior to the start-up of the new business, Mr. Bell hired a moonlighting consultant, Mark E. Nabity, to design his panelized projects. They worked together in this fashion for about nine months until Mr. Bell offered Mr. Nabity the opportunity to join his new company. Mr. Nabity accepted the offer in 1982 and was running Panel Tech, Inc. within three years, while Mr. Bell focused his attention on the management of Drywall, Inc.
The two companies continued to grow and prosper in a sister company relationship throughout the 1980's. In late 1989, Mr. Bell and Mr. Nabity examined the relationship between both companies and decided there was no advantage to operating two separate companies. On April 1, 1990, Drywall, Inc. and Panel Tech, Inc. were merged to form Grayhawk Corporation. Mr. Bell and Mr. Nabity co-managed the new company as CEO and President respectively.
In March 1994, Grayhawk, LLC opened a branch office of Grayhawk Corporation in Louisville, KY. The business plan for the new office was to create an employer presence in Louisville, build a loyal and competent work force and pursue profitable projects within the Louisville metro area. Through hard work and persistence the plan worked, and today Grayhawk, LLC is one of the largest and most successful drywall subcontractors in Louisville.
In 1996, looking for further diversification, Grayhawk, LLC entered into an agreement with MiTek Industries, Inc. (now Aegis Metal Framing, LLC) to become a licensed fabricator of the Ultra-Span Light Gauge Steel Truss System. This business line, motivated by code mandated non-combustible construction, has shown steady and continued growth.
In early 1996, Mr. Bell and Mr. Nabity began to formulate a succession plan that would guarantee the viability of the business after Mr. Bell's planned retirement. On April 1, 1997, they formed Grayhawk, LLC, a limited liability company with two corporate members, W. A. Bell, Inc. and M. E. Nabity, Inc.
On March 31, 2002, the buyout was completed and Mr. Bell retired. This left M. E. Nabity, Inc., a company wholly owned by Mark E. Nabity, with sole ownership.
On May 1, 2003, M. E. Nabity, Inc. sold a twenty-five percent interest in Grayhawk, LLC to J. M. Keller, Inc. That same twenty-five percent interest was repurchased on January 1, 2014, leaving M. E. Nabity, Inc. as the sole company owner.
Today, Grayhawk, LLC, headquartered in a 43,000 square foot facility, located in Lexington, KY, with a branch office in Louisville, KY, continues to grow around the talents and loyalty of its 100 plus employees. The company is recognized nationally for both its interior finish and prefabricated exterior wall panel work and within the Commonwealth of Kentucky for its on-site ability to construct the largest, most complicated and tightly scheduled projects.

Today's eye of the day (EOTD) is a light lavender look.
I usually go for this look when I am wearing purple, pink or white outfit. It's a very light color suitaible for office or casual. This can be considered my usual office look. Not very visible but enough to enhance the eye. I usually don't use eyeliner under my eye. Sometimes, I use light grey liner for the undereye.
The palette used today is shown below, I am using my usual palette (i used the colors with tick):

Unlike the hydropsychids, there are no gills under the abdomen. In Ecnomina the sclerotisation of the mesothorax and metathorax is only partial and has little pigmentation, unlike in Zelandoptila where the sclerotisation is complete and more pigmented. Typical habitats They are common in some bush-covered streams, particularly north of Auckland. Feeding Ecnomina larvae are thought to be predators, feeding on other stream invertebrates. Indicator value Ecnomina larvae are most commonly found in streams with good water quality. They have relatively high tolerance values of 8 (hard bottom sites) and 9.6 (soft bottom sites).

Transparency is increasingly evoked within public and private climate governance arrangements as a key means to enhance accountability and improve environmental outcomes. We review assumed links between transparency, accountability and environmental sustainability here, by identifying four rationales underpinning uptake of transparency in governance. We label these democratization, technocratization, marketization and privatization, and assess how they shape the scope and practices of climate disclosure, and to what effect. We find that all four are discernible in climate governance, yet the technocratic and privatization rationales tend to overtake the originally intended (more inclusive, and more public-good oriented) democratization and marketization rationales for transparency, particularly during institutionalization of disclosure systems. This reduces transparency's potential to enhance accountability or trigger more environmentally sustainable outcomes.

Without a doubt, Wolfram Antivirus is a symbol of another useless application hiding inside an attractive designed console of a copied legitimate antivirus application.

EP 086 | Speaking Gigs With Juliette Palarea – Part 2
About this Episode
Stepping in front of an audience to talk about design can be thrilling and terrifying. It can also be a total waste of time if you don't prepare yourself for the task at hand.
In this episode we learn:
- before you agree to speak at an industry event or to a group of potential clients, get clear on why you are doing it—set an intention around what you want to accomplish
- telling stories and sharing anecdotes will create a connection between you and the audience
- stepping out on a limb (high stakes) is a great position from which to try something new
- clients don't need to change, we need to change
- there is nothing special about people who have "made it"—systems will change your life
Take Aways
If you are not yet a member of Business of Design™, what are you waiting for? The systems and strategies you need to succeed are already created and ready for you to use. Join today.
Meet Juliette Palarea

Having completed numerous projects in the categories of renovation, remodel and new construction, Juliette and her team pride themselves on understanding client's wishes and making them a reality.
Juliette's interest in design began early in her career with California Fabric Protection: a business she co-founded in West Hollywood, California. Her love of architecture and design was nurtured by top area designers and clients in Beverly Hills, Pasadena as well as communities surrounding the West Los Angeles area. These designers realized Juliette's strengths were spacial planning and the details necessary for successful interior design.
Juliette's projects have been featured in Baltimore Magazine and Chesapeake Home, as well as recognition from the Home Builders Association of Maryland Award with an award of Excellence for kitchen remodel $300k to $400k. With millions of dollars in design projects managed, her success is not solely created through her execution, but also in the trust her clients place in her. Juliette frequently hears, "I trust you.

In 1928 an offer to play rhythm guitar and sing with Sol Ho`opi`i took him to Kaleponi (California), where a large community of Hawaiian musicians had formed. He started his own group, The Hollywood Hawaiians, in 1932. Playing steel guitar and singing, he recorded prolifically for major labels. He also appeared on radio and in four films: South Sea Rose,Charlie Chan's Greatest Case,Flirtation Walk, and White Woman. Bright composed a number of songs that have become standards, including the jazzy English language "Sophisticated Hula" and "Hawaiian Cowboy," a show-stopping novelty song in Hawaiian. With rapid-fire verses, reflective of fast ...
David Font-Navarrete
(b Gaston, NC, Aug 28, 1936; d Baltimore, May 16, 2012). American bandleader, singer, guitarist, and composer. He was a musical icon of the Washington, DC metropolitan area. He was widely known as "The Godfather of Go-go" and renowned for his live performances, which emphasized continuous, percussion-driven grooves and audience participation, all staples of the Go-go genre he developed in the 1970s. Brown's early years were marked by poverty and crime, and he first developed his guitar playing while incarcerated at the Lorton Penitentiary. With his band the Soul Searchers, Brown developed a distinctive sound that is grounded in funk and soul, but also heavily influenced by jazz and Latin genres. His hit songs include "Bustin' Loose," "We Need Some Money," and "Go-Go Swing." In 1992, Brown recorded The Other Side with vocalist Eva Cassidy, a critically-acclaimed album of jazz and blues material. He received a NARAS Governors Award and an NEA Lifetime Heritage Fellowship Award, and continued to record and perform regularly until his death in ...
David Brackett
(b Barnwell, SC, May 3, 1928; d Atlanta, Dec 25, 2006). American soul and funk singer, composer, arranger and bandleader. Born into extreme poverty in the rural South, he began his career as a professional musician in the early 1950s with the gospel-based group, the Flames. By 1956 the group had recorded the rhythm and blues hit Please, Please, Please (Federal, 1956) and changed their name to James Brown and the Famous Flames. This early recording established what was to become a stylistic trademark: insistent repetition of a single phrase (in this case, the song's title) resulting in a kind of ecstatic trance. This approach and Brown's characteristic raspy vocal timbre and impassioned melismas display his debt to the black American gospel tradition. His stage shows, dancing and inspired call-and-response interactions with the audience also convey the fervour of a sanctified preacher.
The first decade of Brown's recording career saw him alternating energetic dance numbers such as ...
David Royko
(b Bowling Green, KY, Apr 13, 1952). American mandolinist, fiddler, vocalist, composer, and bluegrass/newgrass bandleader. Commonly referred to as the "Father of Newgrass Music," Bush was deeply influenced by Jethro Burns and Bill Monroe. He began playing mandolin at age 11 and fiddle at 13, winning three junior fiddle championships at the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest & Festival in Weiser, Idaho (1967–9). In 1969, Bush recorded Poor Richard's Almanac (American Heritage) with banjoist Alan Munde and guitarist Wayne Stewart. In 1970, he joined Bluegrass Alliance and, from that band's personnel, co-founded New Grass Revival in 1971, blending bluegrass instrumentation and techniques with rock, jazz, reggae, pop, and blues, and recording ten albums. In the early 1970s, Bush began an extensive studio career, playing on significant progressive bluegrass and Newgrass albums. A prolific solo artist since the mid-1980s, Bush recorded series of albums on the Rounder and Sugar Hill labels, most notably ...
Lise Waxer
[Colón Román jr, William Anthony; 'El malo']
(b South Bronx, New York, April 28, 1950). American bandleader, composer, arranger, trombonist, popular singer, producer and actor. Dubbed 'El malo' (the 'bad boy') of salsa, he began playing the trumpet in 1963 with the teenage band the Dandees. Switching to trombone, he made his professional début at 17 with the album El malo (Fania, 1967). Both as a bandleader and a member of the Fania All-Stars, he quickly moved to the fore of the burgeoning New York salsa scene, cementing the raw, trombone-heavy 'New York sound' inspired by earlier artists such as Eddie Palmieri and Mon Rivera. Between 1967 and 1973 he made a series of important recordings with vocalist Hector Lavoe, which included the albums Asalto Navideño I and II (Fania, 1972 and 1973) with cuatro virtuoso Yomo Toro, where traditional Puerto Rican Christmas aguinaldos were fused with salsa. During his second period (...

[Francis James ]
(b Emmaville, Australia, Sept 10, 1904; d Sydney, 6 or April 7, 1979). Australian bandleader, trombonist, trumpeter, arranger, and singer. From 1922 he worked in Sydney and Melbourne in the bands, among others, of Bill James (1923), Frank Ellis (1924), Walter Beban (1925), Carol Laughner (1926–7), and Linn Smith (1927–8). In England he worked with Jack Hylton, Fred Elizalde, Al Collins, and Al Starita (all 1928–9). Following his return to Australia he played as a sideman and as a leader in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, and during a residency at the Sydney Trocadero (1936–9) he established a reputation as a pre-eminent swing bandleader. He led an army band (1943–5), then played again at the Sydney Trocadero (1946–51, 1954–70), after which he gradually withdrew from musical activities. The finest dance-band and swing musicians in Australia passed through the ranks of Coughlan's band....
Jeffery S. McMillan
[John Birks ]
(b Cheraw, SC, Oct 21, 1917; d Englewood, NJ, Jan 6, 1993). American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, singer, and composer. He was one of the principal innovators in jazz, who along with Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, and Kenny Clarke, pioneered the harmonic and rhythmic advances of the early 1940s that became known as bebop. His exceptional talent for playing higher, faster, and more accurately than anyone who preceded him set a new standard for jazz musicians and his style of playing was widely imitated, especially by trumpeters. Gillespie wrote such early bebop compositions as "Woody 'n' You," "Groovin' High," and "Salt Peanuts," and his most enduring piece, "A Night in Tunisia," is one of the most frequently recorded in jazz. His career spanned almost six decades, and it is difficult to overstate his impact as one of the most influential musicians in jazz history.
Gillespie was born the youngest of nine children to a poor, rural Southern family. His father was a bricklayer who also played various musical instruments with groups on the weekends, but died from an asthma attack when Gillespie was ten. Gillespie was given a trombone at school and taught himself to play it even though he was too small to reach fifth position. After a neighbor received a trumpet, Gillespie visited the house repeatedly to play it until he was allowed to exchange his trombone for a trumpet. He performed locally at rent parties and school dances and his ability allowed him to attend Laurinberg Technical Institute in nearby North Carolina on a music scholarship. Although he received little formal instruction, he practiced trumpet and piano incessantly, and taught himself basic theory. In ...
Yoko Suzuki
[Barbara Ann]
(b Marlin, TX, April 25, 1950). American jazz and rhythm-and-blues flutist, singer, bandleader, composer, and producer. She started to play flute in the Lincoln High School band in Dallas. Studying both classical and jazz flute, she continued her musical training at Texas Southern University and Southern Methodist University. In 1971 she moved to New York, where a relative, Eddie Preston, played trumpet with Duke Ellington. Because of this connection, she had the opportunity to play with Ellington's band. She also competed in the Apollo Theater's amateur night, winning first place for seven consecutive weeks. Blue Note Records signed Humphrey in 1971 and had recorded six of her albums by 1976, including Blacks and Blues (1973, BN). She performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1973 and 1977. She also appeared on "Another Star" from Stevie Wonder's album Songs in the Key of Life (1975–1976, Tamia). After switching to Epic she recorded three more albums for that label: ...
Rich Kienzle
[Kuczynski, Julius Frank Anthony ]
(b Milwaukee, WI, Feb 18, 1914; d Louisville, KY, March 7, 2000). American country music accordionist, bandleader, songwriter, and vocalist. His musical career was inspired by his father, John, a Polish American who led a local polka band. At 15, he began learning accordion and, in 1930, met popular bandleader Wayne King who suggested the youth take the surname "King" in the interest of simplicity. His first band, the King's Jesters, played both country music and polkas. In 1934, the group filled in for Gene Autry's band when Autry, then a star of WLS's National Barn Dance, toured Wisconsin. King joined Autry (who dubbed him "Pee Wee") in Louisville until the singer left to launch his Hollywood film career. He briefly led a Louisville band known as the Log Cabin Boys, then in 1937 organized the Golden West Cowboys, who joined the Grand Ole Opry with a distinctive, progressive repertoire blending country, pop, polkas, waltzes, and western swing. From ...
Harry B. Soria
(b Kaumana, HI, Sept 26, 1901; d Honolulu, HI, Feb 1, 1972). American singer, musician, bandleader, composer, and recording artist. Kinney's career stretched over 57 years, and he achieved the greatest popularity of any Hawaiian singer-musician during his era. Sent to school in Utah, Kinney and his brothers toured as a Hawaiian band. In 1920, his mother died, and he was summoned home to Hawaii, where he continued to hone his musical skills as an accomplished tenor balladeer with exceptional diction and clarity. In 1925, he toured California as a member of Charles E. King's "Prince of Hawaii" cast. Returning home to Hawaii, he joined the David Burrows Trio and was named the most popular male singer in Hawaii at that time. For the rest of his life, he alternated between touring the continental United States and performing in Hawaii. He was engaged for four years at The Hawaiian Room at Hotel Lexington in New York City. In a ...
Lars Helgert
[Robert ]
(b New York, NY, March 11, 1950). American singer, composer, and conductor, son of Robert McFerrin. He studied at the Juilliard Pre-College Division prior to his family's relocation to California in 1958. His earliest instruments were clarinet and piano. He attended Cerritos College and Sacramento State College, but left before graduation to pursue employment as a pianist. His singing career began in 1977. He became known in jazz circles through appearances at the Playboy Jazz Festival in 1980 and with Wynton Marsalis at the Kool Jazz Festival in 1982; a recording of the latter concert was released as The Young Lions (Elektra, 1982). McFerrin's self-titled first solo album (1982, Elek. Mus.) was followed by The Voice (1984, Elek. Mus.) and Spontaneous Inventions (1986, BN). He also recorded with Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, Al Jarreau, and Quincy Jones in the 1980s. McFerrin is best known for his Grammy-winning song "Don't worry, be happy," which appeared on the album ...
Anthony S. Lis
(b Honolulu, HI, Dec 15, 1904; d New York, NY, June 17, 1951). American bandleader, singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He came to California in the early 1920s, where he found work in Hollywood playing "atmospheric music" during the filming of Hoot Gibson's silent movies. He also played rhythm guitar in at least four different trios with Hawaiian steel guitar virtuoso Sol Hoopii, and likely recorded 55 Columbia sides between 1926 and 1928 as a member of Hoopii's Novelty Trio. McIntire recorded with his own quartet, the Hawaiians, beginning in 1935; he cultivated a repertoire including reworked Hawaiian standards (Queen Kapiolani's "He Manao He Aloha") and newly written popular-style tunes with a Hawaiian feel (Margarita Lane and Johnny Noble's "That's the Hawaiian in Me"). In early 1937 McIntire accompanied Bing Crosby on six sides for Decca, including Crosby's top-ten hits "Sweet Leilani," "Blue Hawaii," and "Sail Along Silv'ry Moon." In fall ...
Eddy Determeyer
[Melvin James ]
(b Battle Creek, MI, Dec 17, 1910; d New York, NY, May 28, 1988). American arranger, composer, producer, bandleader, trumpeter, and singer. Growing up as an African American musician in Zanesville, Ohio, Oliver was self taught as a trumpeter and arranger. After playing in territory bands in and around Zanesville and Columbus, he became a member of Jimmie Lunceford's orchestra in 1933. His charts for the Lunceford band were distinguished by contrasts, crescendos, and unexpected melodic variations, thereby setting new standards in big band swing and close-harmony singing. His use of two-beat rhythms also set his arrangements apart.
In 1939 Oliver was hired by the trombonist Tommy Dorsey and turned his band into one of the hardest swinging and most sophisticated ensembles of the early 1940s. In 1946 he started his own big band. During the late 1940s and 1950s he mainly did studio work, as a music director for the labels Decca, Bethlehem, and Jubilee. He continued to lead big bands and smaller ensembles, recycling his old Lunceford and Dorsey successes and performing new arrangements. Along with Duke Ellington and Fletcher Henderson, Oliver must be rated one of the top arrangers of the swing era and infused almost every chart with vigor and surprise....
John-Carlos Perea
[James Gilbert ]
(b Salem, OR, June 18, 1941; d Portland, OR, Feb 10, 1992). American tenor and soprano saxophonist, singer, bandleader, and composer. Of Native American (Creek and Kaw) heritage, he was raised in Oregon and Oklahoma. Early musical influences included tap dance, big band jazz, Southern Plains powwow music and dance, and peyote music. Pepper moved to New York in 1964 and joined the Free Spirits (1966), an early fusion jazz ensemble featuring Larry Coryell and Bob Moses. After forming the group Everything is Everything (1967) with former members of Free Spirits Chris Hills and Columbus Baker, Pepper recorded "Witchi Tai To," a composition fusing a peyote song with jazz, rock, and country influences. Released on Everything is Everything featuring Chris Hills (Vanguard Apostolic, 1969), "Witchi Tai To" peaked at number 69 on the Billboard pop charts. By 2011 it had been covered by at least 90 artists ranging from Brewer & Shipley, Jan Garbarek, and Oregon to the Paul Winter Consort and Joy Harjo. Pepper released four albums as a leader: ...
Lise Waxer
(b San Juan, Jan 4, 1923; d New York City, Feb 28, 1972). Puerto Rican popular singer, bandleader and composer. Raised in Puerto Rico, he arrived in New York City in 1939, singing in the band of his brother Johnny before moving on to perform in the orchestras of Enric Madriguera, Xavier Cugat and Noro Morales. He recorded the hit song Bim-bam-bum with Cugat in 1942. In 1946 he joined the band of José Curbelo along with another promising young musician, Tito Puente, then left to form a small ensemble of his own in 1947, and by the early 1950s had established one of the leading mambo orchestras in New York. Like fellow 'Mambo Kings' Puente and Machito, he performed regularly at the Palladium Ballroom.
One of the most popular vocalists and Latin bandleaders of the 1950s, Rodríguez is best remembered for his romantic songs. His band was notable for its driving rhythm section and tight horns, a perfect complement to his velvety voice and improvisatory skills as a ...
Ken Rattenbury
revised by Alyn Shipton
(b London, Jan 12, 1900; d London, Feb 1, 1971). English bandleader, clarinettist, singer and composer. From 1919 he organized dance bands with his brother Syd, including Syd Roy's Lyricals; they performed in London at Oddenino's, Rector's, the Hammersmith Palais and the Café de Paris, and at Rector's in Paris. In 1928 the brothers toured South Africa and Australia (1929), then returned to England to play in variety theatres before touring Germany. In 1931 Harry formed his own band and, after touring (1933), held residencies at the Café Anglais and the Mayfair Hotel in London. He continued to tour extensively in theatres until 1939 and throughout World War II but after 1945 never regained his former status in London's clubland. Roy was essentially a show-band leader, an energetic front man, a light, sometimes comic, singer, and a clarinettist in the style of Ted Lewis. Although hardly a jazz musician himself he employed as sidemen a number of players who later became prominent in jazz. His signature tune, ...

On the heels of Bohemian Rhapsody's two major Golden Globe wins — including Best Motion Picture Drama — and five Oscar nominations — including Best Picture — Bryan Singer, the film's maligned director, faces fresh allegations of sexual misconduct with minors.
The Atlantic's thoroughly reported piece contains specific details from over 50 sources, including four men who had never publicly spoken about their life-altering encounters. And much like the repetitive nature of the accusations against Harvey Weinstein, their stories tell the same chilling tale of Singer, a powerful, in-demand man in the film industry and host of infamous Hollywood pool parties, where he would prey on the vulnerability of teenage boys — promising them acting gigs, giving them access to his successes, fueling them with drugs and alcohol, and using their bodies for his own pleasure or that of his friends.
In a statement provided to numerous outlets, Singer denied the accusations and called the report a "homophobic smear piece."
"The last time I posted about this subject, Esquire magazine was preparing to publish an article written by a homophobic journalist who has a bizarre obsession with me dating back to 1997. After careful fact-checking and, in consideration of the lack of credible sources, Esquire chose not to publish this piece of vendetta journalism. That didn't stop this writer from selling it to The Atlantic. It's sad that The Atlantic would stoop to this low standard of journalistic integrity. Again, I am forced to reiterate that this story rehashes claims from bogus lawsuits filed by a disreputable cast of individuals willing to lie for money or attention. And it is no surprise that, with Bohemian Rhapsody being an award-winning hit, this homophobic smear piece has been conveniently timed to take advantage of its success."
It's worth noting that according to the writers of The Atlantic piece, that statement is misleading. In a statement provided via The Atlantic's communications team, Maximillian Potter and Alex French note that Esquire's fact-checking and legal team approved of the sources and reporting; it was executives on the top who killed the piece for unknown reasons. The piece was also vetted by The Atlantic's team before publication.
Regardless, the harrowing report is nothing new for industry insiders. Singer first faced assault allegations in April 2014, when Michael Egan sued the director, alleging rape. The lawsuit was dropped months later — but not before BuzzFeed published a lengthy report detailing the director's party-hard lifestyle — and Singer moved forward, career virtually unscathed in the years before the #MeToo movement reached the mainstream.
But Singer's reputation still preceded him, particularly within Hollywood's gay community. Soon after the latest report's publication, Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander took to Twitter to denounce the director. "Bryan singer and his LA pool parties are ACTUAL Hollywood nightmares that many people have spoken out about for a long time," he wrote. "He's a deranged, abusive and sadistic man, so are his accomplices. It is so incredibly difficult for survivors to come forward, Love and respect to them x."
Many others either remained unaware of or turned a blind eye to the past allegations and gossip lingering in Singer's orbit — including, apparently, Bohemian Rhapsody's now-decorated star, Rami Malek.
In an interview following news of his Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury, Malek told the Los Angeles Times that he "didn't know much about Bryan" while he was preparing for the role. "I think that the allegations and things were, believe it or not, honestly something I was not aware of, and that is what it is," the actor said, before suggesting that "perhaps that was Freddie himself" pushing the cast and crew to persevere through the adversity that came when, according to reports, Singer stopped showing up to the set and was fired with weeks of filming to go. (Also around this time, in December 2017, Singer was hit with another lawsuit alleging sexual assault of a minor — an accusation he swiftly and vehemently denied.)
When asked how fans can reconcile their love of the film with their disdain for Singer's prior actions, Malek subtly suggested that the crew did what they could, given the circumstance. "I think they can understand that Bryan Singer was fired from the film. And that can be something that they can look at from a perspective of understanding why they can appreciate the film," he said, then redirected the questioning away from the controversy to thank Dexter Fletcher, who directed the remainder of the movie — not unlike the deflection the Bohemian Rhapsody team utilized at the Golden Globes.
Gwilym Lee, who portrays guitarist Brian May in the Queen biopic, reacted to Malek's interview with a hearty hear, hear. "This says it all...a leading man became a leader," he wrote on Twitter. But not all fans are satisfied, questioning how much (or how little) Malek really knew about Singer's nefarious reputation.
But the biggest question that remains — and the only one that can really change at this point — is what happens to Singer moving forward. Will he be exiled from the Hollywood elite, like Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and others before him, or will he get that $10 million payday from Millennium Films to direct a "female-empowered" Red Sonja remake?

insideinjuries.com provides you with important injury updates as you set your lineup for the upcoming week
Mookie Betts, OF BOS – Sit
Mookie Betts is day-to-day with a shoulder contusion that could have him sidelined for several games. While he may not need a DL stint, it would not be surprising to see Betts on the bench for at least a week. Our algorithms are estimating a two-week Optimal Recovery Time, so he won't be 100% for a while. This is tough for owners to hear, as Betts has been arguably the best Fantasy player so far in 2018.
Nick Castellanos, OF DET – Start
Castellanos missed Sunday's matchup with the Royals while he is recovering from the flu. While a terrible thing to go through, the flu does not usually have any lingering effects. He is likely to start on Monday, with a slight chance he might wait until Tuesday. Regardless, owners should play him whenever he is in the lineup.
Didi Gregorious, SS NYY – Cautious Start
Didi Gregorious was on the injury watch list on Sunday as he was questionable for the game after sustaining a head injury during a base path collision. Not only did the Yankees say that Gregorious was fine, they played him on Sunday, and he had a decent game. Gregorious is not in the clear yet, but he is looking like he will probably be good to go the rest of the week.
Jean Segura, SS SEA – Cautious Start
Jean Segura left the Mariners' Sunday game early with a headache. It is unclear what the issue was, but rumors say he may have been dehydrated. At the moment, there is no reason to be worried of any long-term effects. But as with any head injury or issue, keep an eye on him in your lineup as things can quickly change.
Tommy Pham, OF STL – Risky Start
Tommy Pham left Saturday's game in the second inning with some groin tightness. Groin injuries are not completely new for Pham, who missed a little time earlier in the season with a similar injury. That being said, it doesn't seem to be especially serious, and a DL stint is likely to be avoided. But anytime the legs are the subject of injury talk, you have to be concerned, as they are critical to the performance of players. He is now a High Injury Risk, and his latest groin problem comes with a two-week Optimal Recovery Time.
Yoenis Cespedes, OF NYM – Risky Start
Cespedes is back at it again with the lower body injuries. Cespedes left Sunday's game a bit early after aggravating a right quad that has bothered him his whole career. Cespedes at times has come back in just a couple of days, and other times has taken weeks. Owners should avoid him in the coming week or two if possible. If it's a mild sprain, he needs 2-3 weeks to recover. It could end up taking even longer, though, due to his concerning history.
Adam Jones, OF BAL – Sit
Adam Jones missed the Orioles game on Sunday after getting hit by a pitch on the wrist during Saturday's matchup. At first the injury seemed like it might not be too bad, since Jones stayed in the game and even got another at bat. But after the game he was sent to get X-rays, so it must have been of some concern to the team. Many media outlets are reporting that the injury is not serious, but Fantasy players should avoid Jones. Our estimated Optimal Recovery Time is 3 weeks for a contusion or bone bruise, so he won't be ready to go at 100% for most of May.

Not sure if this is a lucky accident or deliberate but useful having such a lush green veg by the back door.
Went for my first coastal forage of the year on Saturday armed with everything I'd need to collect a large haul of shellfish, so I was a little disappointed when I couldn't find a single mussel. Tried a beach Ive never been to before, Staithes then walking along the beach to Port Mulgrave and back along the cliff tops. Its a beautiful place just a little further up the coast from Whitby.
However even though I was without protein I was delighted to find Sea Cabbage in abundance, for a plant which is quite rare it was everywhere. With such a profusion of plants I thought it would be fine to take a couple of handfuls but there lies the problem, not can I take but should I take? The media recently seem to be focusing in on the 'gangs' of foragers stripping the countryside of it's native plants and fungi. Recently 15 people were in court for collecting fungi from Epping forest.
For those people who collect commercially I have no sympathy, nothing is going to give foragers a bad name more than people who turn a resource into a commodity. Like most wild food collectors I take what I need and only when I can see it in abundance not stripping a solitary plant or picking every fruit from a bush. Even if you take out the ethics and conservation issues it makes little sense destroying a harvest for the future, making sure there is enough to set seed or keep on producing means you can keep coming back to it, surely that's the whole point of foraging? tapping into a resource not destroying it.
I think that as a forager you feel a sense of stewardship for an area, the life of the insects and birds etc which rely and have always relied on that patch are all part of it. Considering the bigger picture is important for me, I don't need to pick and gather from the wild, I want to, I need to remember that I'm sharing this resource and it's not just there for my benefit. Pick mindfully.

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) – Florida's gubernatorial primary is one of the most highly watched races and features Democratic Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who is hoping to become the state's first African-American governor.
At the polls Tuesday, Gillum was upbeat and arrived at his polling place in Tallahassee carrying his one-year-old son Davis.
After voting for himself, the candidate said his campaign is peaking at the perfect time.
"To now be in this race and have my family right along with me is overwhelming, it's an overwhelming feeling. But we are extremely excited about today," said Gillum.
While Gillum has surged in recent weeks, the most recent polls put him in second place. He was asked if he would be willing to accept the nomination for Lt. Governor if today didn't work out.
"We're optimistic we'll be the nominee and whomever the nominee is if it isn't me, we're not claiming that, but, but if it isn't me, I'll do everything I can to make sure a Democrat is elected Governor," said Gillum.
If nominated, Gillum would be the first African American in modern times to be a major party nominee for Governor.
He would also have the youngest children living in the Governor's mansion since Claude Kirk in the late 1960's.

"I believe the future of communication will increasingly shift to private, encrypted services where people can be confident what they say to each other stays secure and their messages and content won't stick around forever," Zuckerberg wrote to all Facebook users. "This is the future I hope we will help bring about."
Facebook's public-to-private priority shift will have widespread ramifications for how customer service is conducted in the coming decade. Let's explore what it means for your company.
Keep it on the DM
The way we communicate online has changed dramatically in the past few years. After decades-long of open sharing, most people now prefer to keep conversations private. Instead of publicly posting on Facebook or live-tweeting their thoughts, consumers have shifted to private messaging platforms. In
Facebook's move will allow the company to attract more users, to increase the reach of Facebook's advertising system, and to give the businesses another avenue to reach their audiences. It also provides for more security.
Facebook users want more control over their conversations, and a unified chat offering provides that. But users also want to reach friends, family, and increasingly, businesses, just as easily as ever. The unified backend creates the potential for unified (and verified) user profiles and new and improved business-to-consumer communication tools. For example, newly available WhatsApp ads will allow Facebook advertisements to reach more of the right people and fewer of the wrong ones with the help of WhatsApp user
"Working towards implementing end-to-end encryption for all private communications is the right thing to do," Zuckerberg said in a recent talk, reassuring users that their conversations will be safe. In this future, people will have more control and more security, and Facebook is poised to grow even further into a hub for global communication. Whether on desktop,
Unified Messenger Support
As brands employ messaging as a support channel, they'll have to make sure to earn their consumers' trust on the apps. Largely, that's a function of choosing the right partners—like Facebook. As Zuckerberg works to prove the security of WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, expect to see a rise in popularity of other chat apps that businesses can (and should) integrate with, such as Apple Business Chat. Businesses can securely reach their consumers, and their customers can seamlessly talk to agents through the communication platform they already prefer.
Companies can advertise the fact that their messaging methods are encrypted and secure, especially when financial or valuable personal information is being shared. Transparency and trust are now just as important for retailers and travel brands as they are for banks.
Facebook wants to be the hub of the internet for the messaging age—the post open web age— and with it's 2.2 billion-strong user base and public-to-private shift, it's going to be the strongest contender in that space for decades to come. Any brand that wants to stay on the forefront of consumer trust will have to be on the forefront of Facebook messaging.
"The future of communication will increasingly shift to private, encrypted service"

Being a sensitive person, I've always been attracted to nature and flowers. I think flowers are the epitome of balance and beauty in a world that is so hostile sometimes. Flowers also have a very romantic thing that represent love and passion.
I have used the thematic of flowers into my songs either in titles of my songs such as "Where Did All The Flowers Go?" to "Violet" and with lyric references in different songs (I can't even remember them exactly where).
Flowers represent something fragile yet powerful; something delicate yet strong.

Lookout for these Design Trends in 2017
Web designing is a dynamic industry, so it is common to witness the trends oscillating now and then. Though the coding does remain unchanged, new queries and structures are often added. People in this industry are allowed to keep their minds open and just experiment their imagination. Whatever they do doesn't matter, unless and until they retain their focus to provide better UX and UI experience to the users. This is the key to enable them to be recognized among the crowd. So, now let us go through the trends that are predicted to flourish in 2017.
Mobile First Everything Next:
Generally websites are designed for the larger devices first, in sense desktop designs are initially sketched out and later on for the smaller devices. But nowadays the vice versa is becoming common, mobile first approach is flourishing. This approach demands crisp and quality content only to be display in the smaller screens, thereby embellishes stuffing in more content into your website. On the other hand, in the desktop version the animations and images are scaled up and along with relevant information.
Add some Spark:
What is the color of your website? I am sure, most of the websites utilize some common color similar to blue, green, orange or red, so why restrict to this color set. So this 2017 go out of the box, by adapting some new color, right from your logo design to the website layout.
Animations if used efficiently you can provide your visitors with better UI and UX. Instead of just employing the common animations to enable your visitors to subscribe, use animation to bring in micro interactions with them. Make use of animations wherever necessary in your website and not everywhere.
Typography is a new powerful visual medium that is expected to creep in 2017. Today many brands are gradually adopting typography to appeal their customers. Over-sized, full hand rendered typography is expected to trend in the upcoming year.
Photography would always stay at the center of the stage regardless of the change in trends. But in 2017, one can expect authenticity to play with photography. Stock photography will literally disappear and many brands will start hiring professional photographers for the special click they want to be recognized in the crowd.

Balfe, Michael
William, 1808 -
Barnett, John, 1802-1890
John Barnett, a
distant relative of
Meyerbeer, had been a
child actor who then moved
on to a varied career in the
theatre. He composed music
for a number of plays and
comic pieces, an oratorio
and songs before
finding success with
his first opera,
The Mountain Sylph, in
1834, which Macfarren,
writing in 1863, claimed
"opened a new period for
music in this country, from
which is to be dated the
establishment of an English
dramatic school"[1].It was followed by
Rosamond (1837) and Farinelli
neither of which managed
anything like the same
success, as well as two
lighter works, Blanche
of Jersey and The
Little Laundress, both
in 1837. He wrote at least
two more operas,
Kathleen (1840) [2] and
Queen Mab (1841),
but neither of them was
performed. Unfortunately, he
did not help his own cause
by quarrelling with many of
the people in London, such
as Arnold and Bunn, who were
in a position to help him.
Perhaps these problems led
him to try to launch an
English opera house at the
Prince's Theatre (the
renamed St. James's) in
1840, but it quickly folded. Disenchantment with London
may have led him, in 1841,
to move to Cheltenham where he
became a successful singing
teacher as well as
continuing to compose songs
and instrumental works. He
wrote a book on his methods,
School for the Voice
(1844). Barnett's daughter,
Clara Kathleen Rogers, a
singer, published two
memoirs: Memories of a
musical career (Plimpton
Press, 1932) and The story
of Two Lives (Plimpton
Press, 1932), which include
many references to John
Barnett. His son, Eugene,
wrote the music for a number
of songs and comic works. A
contemporary view of Barnett
can be found at Actors
by Daylight. Vol. 1
(London: J. Pattie,
1838-1839), pp. 292 -

Kathleen can be found at

Glossop) 1815 - 1863
Benedict, Julius, 1804 - 1885
De Pinna, Joseph, 1799(?) -
Forbes, Henry 1804 - 1859
Henry Forbes was an
organist, composer and
conductor of Societé
Armonica from 1827 - 1850.
The latter started as an
amateur band which then
graduated to employing
professionals and
hosting public concerts at a
cheaper rate than the
Philharmonic, although with
a lower orchestral standard,
according to The Spectator
(March 13, 1835). Forbes
wrote mainly smaller scale
works, such as songs and
psalm tunes but did create
an opera, The Fairy Oak, and
an oratorio, Ruth.
William Howard ,
Goring Thomas, Arthur,
Arthur Goring Thomas was
born in Sussex into a
wealthy household and showed
an early aptitude for music,
which he went on to study in
Paris and London. He wrote
five operas, the best known
being Esmeralda and
Nadeshda, both successful
and both also performed on
the continent. The Golden
Web was premiered after his
suicide in 1892. Goring
Thomas was particularly
praised for his melodic
gifts and his lightness of
touch, no doubt a legacy of
his French training.
Hullah, John
Pyke, 1812-1884
John Hullah studied at the RAM and
initially composed songs and
operas:- The Village Coquettes,
The Barbers of Bassora and
The Outpost. However, he
soon turned to musical education
eventually becoming Professor of
Vocal Music at King's College,
London and a government music
inspector. He is best known for his
advocacy and practice of G.L.B.
Wilhem's method of teaching music
using what was known as the fixed "solfa"
or fixed "doh", see Bernarr Rainbow,
The Land without Music.
(London: Novello and Co., 1967)
pp.124-138. His wife, Frances, wrote
a biography based on notes he had
made, Life of John Hullah
(London: Longmans, Green & Co.,
Jessup, Mildred Marion Bowes-Lyon,
1868 - 1897
Laurent, Henri
Lavenu, Lewis Henry,
Linley, George, 1798 -
Loder, Edward James,
Macfarren, George Alexander,
1813 - 1887
Packer, Charles Sandys,
Packer was born in
Reading and studied at the
RAM, later becoming a
teacher there during which
time he wrote
Sadak and Kalasrade.
However, a few years
after that, in 1839, his
career took a novel turn
when he was transported to
Australia for forgery but he
was able to set up as a
music teacher in Hobart,
even though still serving
his sentence. Following a
conditional pardon, he branched
out into theatre management
[1]. Eventually, he set himself
up as a professor of music
in Sydney but does not seem
to have composed any further
operas, although he did
write an oratorio The Crown
of Thorns, the score of
which can be found
on IMSLP. His career took a
further stumble when he was
imprisoned for five years
for bigamy. On release, he
again took up teaching and
composition. He died in
Australia in 1883[2].

Rodwell, George Herbert
Bonaparte, 1800 - 1852
Rodwell was born in
London and was a pupil of
Henry Bishop and Vincent Novello. He wrote both books
and stage works as well as
composing. At various points
he took over managing the
Adelphi theatre, taught at
the Royal Academy of Music
and became Director of Music
at Covent Garden. Despite a
long, varied and often
successful career he ended
up in the Insolvent Debtors
Court shortly before his
death. His work was often
of a less serious nature but
he was an ardent advocate
for English opera, most
notably in an 1833 pamphlet
entitled A Letter to the
Musicians of Great Britain;
containing a Prospectus of
Proposed Plans for the
Better Encouragement of
Native Musical Talent and
for the Erection and
Management of a Grand
National Opera in London.
An article on the Letter
can be found
Fitzball said of him [1]
"Rodwell, though not a great
composer, was a first rate
[1] Edward Fitzball,
Thirty Five Years of a
Dramatic Author's Life.
(London: T.C.Newby, 1859),
Francis (Frank),
Frank Romer was
brother of the well know
singer Emma Romer and
brother in law of
Lemon, one of the founders of Punch
magazine. His first
appearance in the press was as a composer
in 1833 when he was
mentioned as having rescored a
version of Bellini's La
sonnambula for a
benefit performance by Emma
at the Royal Victoria. Later
he arranged the music of
Marschner's Des Falkners
Braut to a new libretto
by Lemon in the opera
Rob of the Fen in 1838
at the Lyceum. 1836 saw the staging
of his opera
The Pacha's
Bridal and 1841 that of
Fridolin, (originally
The Seneschal) both to librettos by Lemon.
Fridolin's failure
appears to have ended his
opera career although he
continued to compose songs
often to words by Lemon but
including a setting of some
Longfellow poems. As
well as some teaching,
eventually becoming a
professor at Trinity
College, London[1], he
wrote a treatise on singing
and became a publisher with
James Cock and Charles Lane
Hutchings. That partnership
was dissolved in 1865 (Perry's
Bankrupt Gazette,
January 7 1865) but he must
have then become a partner
with Hutchings as their
partnership was dissolved in
1884 (The London Gazette,
May 2 1884). He died in
1889. His son, Robert,
became an M.P. and later a
Lord Justice of Appeal.

Thomson, John, 1805-1841
John Thomson was born near
Kelso in Scotland. He met
Mendelssohn on the latter's
visit to Edinburgh in 1829
and again when Thomson went
to Leipzig to study. He
became Reid Professor of
Music in Edinburgh in 1839,
only 18 months before his
early death in 1841. He
composed songs and chamber
works as well for the stage
and was the first person in
Britain to write musical
analysis and commentary on
concert works.In December
1829, he provided music for
the Edinburgh performances
of Sir Walter Scott's
youthful drama The House of
Aspen. His only opera was
Hermann or The Broken Spear
(1834). He also produced the
music for Serle's play The
Shadow on the Wall (1835).

A woman called on the help of Melissa + Miller Interiors to transform a 2,300-square-foot unit in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that hadn't been touched since the '70s. She wanted to create a space that could accommodate her grandchildren during extended stays and guests of all ages for get-togethers.
Two Stamen pendants in Crystal glass hang above the kitchen island. The classic Crystal glass complements the neutral interior, which was once cluttered with dark counters. The all-white palette - with a pop of color from the Turquoise Eames Fiberglass Stools - creates an airy, bright, and inviting atmosphere that everyone can enjoy.
The first design that inspired Niche, the Stamen pendant boasts a voluptuous body that tucks into itself unexpectedly. Looking to include this hand-blown light into your next project?

According to Savills latest research, the only prime commercial assets in Europe offering yields above 5% are prime logistics warehouses in markets such as Denmark, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Belgium, along with prime offices and shopping centres in Athens and Bucharest and prime shopping centres and retail parks in the UK. The average prime yield across Europe for CBD offices stands at 3.7%, with shopping centres at 4.8% and logistics warehouses at 5.4%, says the international real estate advisor (Q1 estimates). Investors looking to achieve higher yields could look for core+/value-add opportunities in the Nordics and South Europe for offices, secondary cities in Southern and Eastern Europe for logistics, the UK and Spain for retail and Southern and Central Europe for purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) opportunities.
Marcus Lemli, Head of European investment and CEO of Savills in Germany, said: "In what is expected to remain a low-interest rate environment going forward, yield spreads will still remain attractive for those investing in European real estate. Falling expectations of an interest rate rise will continue to attract capital into European real estate as borrowers are able to access debt cheaply. The European composite prime CBD office yield hardened 11 basis points to 3.7% between January 2018 and January 2019, still providing an attractive yield spread of 250 bps over the cost of long term debt."
Eri Mitsostergiou, Director Savills European Research, added: "For investors looking for higher returns, there are core+/value-add opportunities in market segments with solid fundamentals, such as secondary offices. Most capitals in Europe suffer from undersupply of space in central locations in particular. As a result demand for quality offices in well-connected fringe locations is solid and rents are stable or rising. Core+/value-add opportunities of this type can be found in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona, Oslo and Paris at yields between 5.25% and 6%, or higher for refurbishments and new developments. Yields may even exceed 6% for offices in secondary cities of the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden or Belgium."

hi i have problem like you, please help me if any one know
Preview not working
hi i have problem like you, please help me if any one know
If I'm understanding your question correctly you have so far:
- built experience in zapper studio
- selected the preview option in studio to see your experience
At that point what occurs next? Error message? Nothing? Another pop-up? any message?
Keep in mind that you will need to have a ZapWorks account and will be asked to log in to preview your newly built experience.
i built wxperiencee in studio
before in last version studio ask me to log in account and afterthat preview worked but now in new version noting ask me and preview doesnt work and just loading and after noting happend
Zapworks should ask you to log in every day (if I'm right)
You can try clicking on the zap dropdown (top left). In the list there is a sign out of zapworks. Then I would close Zapworks and reopen it.
If that doesn't work maybe
- uninstall Zapworks
- reboot your computer
- download new copy of Zapworks and install it.
Hi. I've just checked. I have the latest version of zap works desktop. Osx version. Previewed a project, it loaded the log in/authorise screen. Then uploaded package etc. The dialogue screen disappears as progress bar completes and I get nothing. No next step, no scan code. Like it's just missed a step or not fully operational. Thanks
Hi this seems to be working for me now thanks. …well it goes through to giving me the code, i use my phone which scans and seems to accept the preview scancode, but my zap/zappar doesn't then appear?
Hello Everyone,
I have the same issues.
I'm in trial version and I canno't preview anything.
If you have any answer to this issue, it would be very helpful !
BR from France
If you are scanning an image tracked experience then once the zapcode is scanned, you will need to point your device at the target image.
@baptiste, please make sure you are logged into the correct ZapWorks account. You can log out at any time by clicking the lightning bolt in the top left-hand corner of Studio.
If you are still having issues then there might be something blocking Studio's preview/publish process. I'd recommend temporarily disabling any anti-virus or firewalls and reloading Studio.
If the problem persists then feel free to email firstname.lastname@example.com, where we can look into the issue further.
Many thanks. I've got somewhere with it now where I can see my project and have it animated.
Hi everyone!
I'm currently having the same issue with the preview where it's "preparing to upload" and "uploading package," the progress bar completes, but then the window disappears and I never get my preview.
- i have a zapworks account
- signed out of zapworks from inside zapstudio, closed zapstudio, and reopened it
- uninstalled zapworks, rebooted my computer, download and installed a new copy of zapworks
- from what i can tell i'm not in the trial version?
- allowed studio to pass the firewall
Any insight would be very appreciated!

Same problem here, we are running a workshop and stuck… A windows version is buggy, an OSX cannot preview with the progress bar bug.
I have had problems with it as well. Locks up when debug it open. I have to click back and forth between zappar window and debug to get the debug to go. Also after a update my webcam doesn't work most of the time. I have to use a usb camera.
I was told there should be a update to zapworks soon and to keep an eye out for it.
Same issue here. Preview uploads, I scan the code and all I get is 'unlocking' in Zappar. Same thing when I try to publish. All up to date, logged in etc. Same issue across multiple PCs and Mac
A right royal PITA…
Hi @sportsdz25,
Sorry for the late reply -
This happens when the account you are logged into doesn't have an active seat assigned to it. You can click preview/publish and the progress bar will appear but the zapcode will not. We are looking at ways to show an error message to hopefully make it a lot clearer.
@MrPropre sometimes the log-in and progress bar modal show up below the Studio window itself, could be the issue you are experiencing?
@TK422, I have replied to your support request directly, but for others that might be having the similar problems - the "Unable to connect" error can appear either when there is no stable internet connection, or if an experience has never been published to that specific project. I'd recommend double-checking that the project that relates to the trigger has an experience published to it.
Hope this helps.
That was our problem here, that's good to have a message so the user know how to fix the problem.
Still no joy. There are no issues with my connection (I can publish other experiences just fine) and the problem persists across multiple computers and connections with this project. The experience is publishing up to the project - it appears in the project log and I can even DL the ZPP file and re-import into Studio, but I just can't get this project to preview at all.
Hi again. I've rebuilt the project from a (much) earlier version that worked and all seems to be well. There was definitely something amiss with the ZPP file!

Board chair should resign after pay, job cuts, Vermont hospital staff says
More than 30 current and former Springfield (Vt.) Hospital staff members signed a petition calling for the hospital board chair's resignation, the VTDigger reports.
The petition accuses board chair George Lamb of not doing enough to help the hospital's troubled financial situation, which has led to salary reductions and the elimination of positions, the report states.
"We have watched with feelings of powerlessness and distress as the financial difficulties facing SMCS have been revealed over the past few months. As employees, we need to be able to have faith in our administration, and we do not have that faith in Mr. Lamb," the petition states, according to the report.
Mr. Lamb has served on the board for roughly eight or nine years, and has served as chair for the past two years. He declined to comment to the VTDigger other than to say the board was doing its best.
The petition was presented during a Feb. 19 board meeting and submitted to Springfield Hospital Interim CEO Mike Halstead.
A recent audit found the hospital lost roughly $14 million in two years, and officials cut 27 positions and reduced employees' salaries across the organization, the report states. Last year, the hospital saw changes to its leadership, with the CEO and CFO abruptly leaving the organization.
