What if we awarded belts for banjo playing like they do in martial arts?

What is the foremost question on everyone's lips today? Is it about healthcare? Terrorists? Weather? Of course not. It's "what did Santa bring you for Christmas?"
Now, I don't want to seem so wrapped up in possessions that you believe I've forgotten the real "reason for the season", but I am rather proud of one particular gift. However, please don't take this as diminishing the importance or value of other gifts received. This just happens to be one of those gifts that not everyone can give.
I carefully took this particular gift and placed it on the dining table in front of me, and then sat and gazed lovingly at it for quite some time. Soon, crystal-clear memories of a freckled faced lad of about eight years old took over. It was a cold, frosty morning as I watched my mom pull a pan of hot, fresh-baked "cat head" biscuits from the oven and place them on our dinner table; a table which was handmade by my dad. Now, I call it a dinner table rather than a dining table 'cause in those days, dinner was at noon; supper came in the evening hours and we didn't know what lunch was.
Anyway, a plate of homemade butter – yes, made in a churn and wooden mold – sat close by, seemingly beggin' for me to shove a healthy glob inside one of those steamin' hot biscuits. It didn't have to beg very much!
My memory then went outside to a warmer day; one in which the birds were busy and bees were aflitterin' …., well, maybe it was the bees were busy and the birds were aflitterin', but again, the vision was crystal clear. Birds, wasps, bees, and other "varmints" were after the fruit borne by the bush. Some may call it a tree, but it wasn't like an oak or pine; this tree spread out from the ground up and didn't seem to have a trunk. It was almost like it was nothin; but limbs, leaves, and fruit.
I remember the leaves were covered by a fuzz that scratched and stung my arms. But I also agreed with the varmints; the fruit borne by this bush was well worth any discomfort in harvesting the tasty treats.
Something broke my concentration and I was again back at my dining table, gazing…., well, droolin' at this unique gift. By now you may have guessed my adoration was directed toward a jar of fig preserves, I've told you before how much I love 'em, and can honestly say my love has not diminished one iota over the years. In fact, it may have grown substantially.
Again this year, my friend Jack brought me a gift of scuppernong, blueberry, and "musky dime" jam, along with the above mentioned jar of fig preserves, that he and his wife had created! Each and every morsel of sweetness I received will be savored with an appreciation only understood by a true connoisseur of fine taste! And even if you take it as braggin', I fully believe my tastes taste tastier'n anyone else's tastes!
You know, one of the things that makes such a treat so much more enjoyable, is having friends who do things like this for you. Makes me wonder what I ever did to deserve such friendship. Whatever it was, I sure as heck hope Jack and his wife never forget!
So to all my friends and family, thank you for the sweets, sausage balls, peanut brittle, and gifts. They all made a wonderful Christmas for me.
Since it is now the year 2010, I will tell you of my one and only New Year's Resolution. And that is, not to have any New Year's Resolutions I can't keep!
Happy New Year, folks!

Bollywood in Mumbai
Often referred to as mayanagari (town of dreams), Mumbai is interchangeable with Bollywood, India's biggest movie industry and among the greatest movie machines in the world. Since the entertainment hub of the nation, it is not surprising that the city is home to countless Bollywood actors, directors, film-makers and wannabes, and the town also looks at the storylines of heaps of critically-acclaimed films, from neighborhood strikes like the Academy-Award nominated Salaam Bombay!
If you are interested in the artwork of film-making and comprehension how, within the past century, Bollywood has affected and formed Indian popular culture, make the time to research the numerous film links within this cinematic town, from Bollywood temples and shooting places to classic cinema halls and spectacular wall art inspired from the celebrities. Following is a fast guide on the best way best to turn your excursion to Mumbai to a blockbuster.
After launching its doors only to celebrities for years, Film City Studio in Mumbai has partnered with the state tourism department to provide visitors an opportunity to step in their favorite Bollywood films, or the places where they filmed.
Among India's biggest movie studios, Film City provides weekend bus excursions to both indoor and outdoor shooting places for such hit films like Shah Rukh Khan's Happy New Year and Josh, to mention only a couple. Visitors can get blessed with snapping photos of stars also, as celebrities regularly go to the canteen on the premises.
To get a more sophisticated look at the business, tour companies like Viator, Mumbai Film City Tours and Thrillophilia offer group excursions providing insight into various areas of Indian film-making, such as its history and expansion, the technical procedures of cloning and editing, and iconic film places. As in Los Angeles, you may even have a tour of this lavish, or occasionally modest, houses where a number of India's top theater stars reside or have been born.
Mumbai historians enjoy how the very first Indian film, Raja Harishchandra, filmed in 1913 by Dadasaheb Phalke with lights, cameras and boosters shipped over from Europe and America, has its roots in town. From the heyday of Indian cinema which followed the conclusion of WWII, Sandhurst Road — now occupied by the railroad lines of this Harbour local lineup — stretched from Girgaum Chowpatty into Dongri, lined with all the greatest movie theaters of its period: the Olympia, the Coronation, the New Alhambra, the Majestic.
The majority of them have disappeared, or stand as forlorn cubes, lost in time, because of the onslaught of civilization civilization. But a handful may nevertheless be seen, screening largely obscure regional films, at a feeling of sterile art-deco grandeur.
To capture recently launched Bollywood films in a Traditional theater setting, visit the graceful, art deco Regal Cinema on Colaba Causeway, the rocketship-shaped Eros in Churchgate, along with the Metro INOX Cinema (initially constructed and run by MGM, the Hollywood Studio), sitting pretty at Marine Lines.
Having finished the film theater trail, tourists may visit the newly reopened Royal Opera House near Girgaum Chowpatty, an architectural marvel in 1912. In addition to hosting the opera ability of its own day, the area can be credited with being the making of this Kapoor Khandaan household, the very first appropriate Bollywood dynasty, that grew up viewing point shows and musicals in the opera house at the dying days of the Raj.
Unless you've got an encyclopedic knowledge of Bollywood movies, it might help to seek the services of a guide, or at least a cab and driver, to research the many prominent landmarks in town which have awakened as film locations. Start with this Gateway of India as well as the iconic Taj Mahal Palace resort — configurations for a Bollywood dance routine — or visit the Colaba and Bora Bazaar markets which featured prominently in Aamir Khan's Talaash and also Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol respectively.
Film-makers have been attracted to the panoramic promenade of Marine Drive, in which elements of this bike action thriller Dhoom, 2003 comedy-drama Munnabhai MBBS, and coming-of-age movie Wake Up Sid were filmed. There is something undeniably cinematic regarding the audiences of young Mumbaikers amassing on the border of the urban sprawl to soak up the fresh breezes and calming sunrises and sunsets. Come from the wee hours of dawn, once the city wakes up.
Next, go on to Bandra, the swanky northern suburb whose boutiques, restaurants and bars cater to a lot of film stars and icons of this business. Stroll around Bandstand, Carter Road, Chapel Road, Pali-Hill along with also the Worli Sea Link and you will spot a celebrity or 2 at the flesh.
Otherwise, ramble through the surrounding backroads and slim by-lanes, where you are going to stumble upon epic murals depicting classic Bollywood films, like the 1960 historic drama masterpiece Mughal-E-Azam along with superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna, and Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema.
Not all film places are glamorous. Quite a few agencies run excursions to the huge slum area of Dharavi, in which portions of Slumdog Millionaire were taken. This does not need to become an intrusive encounter. however. On the best excursions, guides in the neighborhood will present you to local folks and explain not merely the area's importance to Bollywood, but also how its popularity has helped citizens alter their lifestyles. In the procedure, you're going to be providing income and work to Dharavi residents.
Another interesting place is that the Mahalakshmi Dhobi Ghat, in which tens of thousands of washermen create their everyday living pummelling the laundry of town residents in real washtubs from the open air. Bollywood paid tribute with their own energetic commerce from the namesake film Dhobi Ghat.
Any record of popular movie places in Mumbai will be incomplete without a mention of its shores: Juhu, Girgaum Chowpatty, along with Aksa beaches. An untold amount of movies have put their celebrities around the sand, together with Juhu the shore of choice to cast-of-hundreds song-and-dance figures. Watch it at its prime at the 1971 Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan movie Anand.
There is yet another cinematic experience we should not overlook. Film-makers occasionally drop by Apollo Bunder along with the inexpensive backpacker guesthouses of Colaba whenever they want extras for crowd scenes, offering a small daily payment in exchange for an interesting glimpse at how Bollywood functions from facing the camera.

The white vines used by Ca' di Rajo to make wine are Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Gewurztraminer and Incrocio Manzoni 6.0.13 (aka Manzoni Bianco). The winery's focus is on freshness and high drinkability, two characteristics that all these wines have in common.
The grapes are picked when they reach their optimal maturity, paying special attention to the choice of the harvest time to try and preserve the typical acidity and aroma of each vine. This leads to the production of modern, fresh wines with the right strucutre.
In particular, Incrocio Manzoni is a hybrid variety made with Pinot Blanc and Riesling Renano, created in the 1930s by Prof. Luigi Manzoni, a professor of viticulture at the Wine School of Conegliano.
It has found its natural habitat in the area of Marca Trevigiana and is capable of expressing its character with high levels of structure and elegance. This grape, unlike others, is left to overripe on the plant; this promotes a natural concentration and development of aromas, generating a more strutcture, complex wine.
To enhance the properties of the vine, wine is made in steel tanks at controlled temperature followed by a long ageing period in contact with noble lees.

About Mahabaleshwar
Around Lake Venna, at 1,372 meters is located a hill station named Mahabaleshwar which lays in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra. Mahabaleshwar city was established as a health resort in 1829 and is currently one of the most captivating and largest (area wise) hill stations in the region. It can be said as a pinnacle of greenery which boasts one of the only evergreen forests present in the world. Scenery of the place is full of thriving hills, fascinating valleys and attractive points such as Arthur's Seat, Lodwick Point and Babington Point. All these points offer the tourists and localities of the city with some spectacular views.
The hill resort got its name from the God "Mahabali". In Sanskrit the word Mahabaleshwar means "God of Great Power". It is an evergreen vast plateau which consists of beautiful long roads best suited for long drives and running through the forests. Horse riding in these hills is one of the best options to enjoy the beauty of Mahabaleshwar. Apart form the scenic beauty, the city is also famous for its old religious sites such as the Shri Shankar Mandir, Shri Krishnabao Mandir and Panchaganga Mandir.
Mahabaleshwar once used to be the summer capital of the Governor of old Bombay Presidency. Plenty of mansions, cottages and bungalows have been built around it by the Britishers which add to the charm and sophistication of the city. Around 30 valley viewpoints are present there with panoramic vistas that are scattered all around the hill station. These valleys provide excellent access roads that make for shady, pleasant paths for trekking & walking. There are also plantations of corn, mulberries and juicy native strawberries.
Mahabaleshwar along with Panchgani stands as the most popular hill resorts in the state of Maharashtra. Being situated far away from the madding crowds this hill station forms for an excellent holiday destination. Nature lovers, film directors, peace seekers, holiday makers and adventure lovers are attracted by the natural beauty of Mahabaleshwar.
It is popular for the panoramic views of the Sahayadri hills which are at their best after the monsoons when the valley gets covered with the velvety greenery. Venna Lake near the city is a must visit place even if you don't wish to go there for just voting. There are stalls near the Lake which offer an environment showcasing a small village fair and offers the best street food available in the entire city of Mahabaleshwar.
Mahabaleshwar is made up of three villages namely: Old "Kshetra" Mahabaleshwar, Malcolm Peth and the part of Shindola village. The city is source for the Krishna River which flows across the state of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. A spout from the mouth of a statue representing a cow that is located in the ancient temple of Mahadev in the Old Mahabaleshwar forms for the source of this river. According to the myths amongst the people residing in the localities, Krishna himself is Lord Vishnu that is the result of a curse on the trimurtis by Savitri. Also, the tributaries of the Krishna River are said to be Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva themselves.
There is an interesting thing to notice about the legendary source of the Krishna River that other four rivers also come out from the cow's mouth apart from it. All these rivers travel for some distance before they actually merge into the Krishna River. These rivers emerging from the same source are: Koyna, Venna also known as Veni, Savitri and Gayatri.
The vibrant culture and heritage of this place is well defined by its vivid history. Marathi is spoken most commonly by the residents along with Hindi and English which are other main languages. Ganesh Chaturthi is the main festival celebrated by the people with grandeur. People in Mahabaleshwar are deeply connected with their customs and traditions and celebrate each festival and event in their unique way with their folk dance and music.

Travelling by air will require you to check out at the Pune airport and then take a cab for the main city. Trains are another option available which will drop you at the wathar station which is located at some distance from this hill station. However, if you reside in the nearby cities like Pune, you should opt for driving to this place which makes for the best option available. Roads built in and around the city are beautiful enough to make your journey quite memorable. Bus service for the city is also a recommendable option.
Mahabaleshwar is located in the Satara district in Maharashtra making the converging point from three main cities of the state such as Mumbai, Kolhapur and Pune. This makes Mahabaleshwar one of the busiest hill stations in Maharashtra.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Right before the Golden State Warriors calmly dispatched the Los Angeles Clippers 114-98 on Wednesday, their coach spoke of a benchmark that overshadows this once-burgeoning rivalry:
Steve Kerr finally dared to discuss reaching the 73-win mark.
"I think it's a good question now," Kerr said prior to the contest, when asked about it by Tim Kawakami of the Bay Area News Group. "It was a good question then [when Kawakami asked months ago]; it just wasn't anything I was interested in addressing, because it was so early."
"But you're right now, we're right there," he continued. "We're 12 games away; we need to win 10 to set the record. That's pretty enticing."
With the victory, the 64-7 Warriors now are nine wins away from the milestone.
Kerr is a latecomer to this cause, as his best players have started to openly embrace the chase. In Dallas, Stephen Curry was asked if "deep down" he wanted the wins record. He responded flatly, "There's a reason you're still talking about that 1995-96 Bulls team. So yes." Draymond Green upped the ante, after a loss against the Spurs, no less. He proclaimed, "I'm not going to shy away from saying we want the record. We want the record, and we're going after it."
There's an irony to how the most vocal chasers of history are the youngest members of this organization. It's the coaches who have been reluctant to sprint at this point of the marathon.
At the same time, Kerr and the coaching staff recognize the value of a motivating factor in a second grueling title chase. Green best summarized the appeal of chasing 73 while in Minneapolis by simply saying, "I think it's something that can help you focus, because obviously, you gotta win."
And win the Warriors did on Wednesday, even if was a dreary kind of trouncing. This fiery rivalry had somehow softened, and the resulting atmosphere was soporific. "The first half was kind of weird," Kerr remarked of the scene. "It was just kind of a dead atmosphere in there. There didn't seem to be the usual kind of energy from the rivalry."
Green echoed those sentiments, saying that he was at a loss to produce one of his typically galvanizing speeches. "First half, it was a weird game," Green said. "Like, we came in and Steve, at the end of his speech, was like, 'Hey, anybody got something? Draymond, you got something?'" Though he produced on the floor (12 points, 12 boards and 4 assists while defending DeAndre Jordan), Green was bereft at that moment. There seemed to be no reason for winning other than winning.
Though the energy might have been low (until the third quarter, when Golden State made its push), there were fine performances. Klay Thompson was brilliant, scoring 32 points while moving well without the ball. Andrew Bogut returned from injury with some stout defense, ending with a plus-18 in 20 minutes, as Kerr noted. Curry scored 33, but he impressed more on defense, hounding Chris Paul and tracking JJ Redick. Curry even picked up a rare technical foul, frustrated to be whistled while playing Paul tight. "I thought I played great defense on that possession," Curry later said.
Due in part to Curry's defensive efforts, Paul went 4-of-16 for 13 points, illustrating another aspect of why this rivalry has waned. Though still an excellent player, Paul has the look of a lion in winter when facing Curry. A few of Curry's best Vine highlights have come at Paul's expense (Curry added at least one more Wednesday, if not two), and Paul isn't tilting that balance anytime soon.
While the Warriors won't come out and say it, they've killed the Clippers rivalry with their success. This was their sixth straight win over the Clips; the "rivalry" label cannot withstand that type of repeated beating.
The issue is that when it's not a Spurs or Thunder game, the Warriors are seen as playing against themselves. Against the vast majority of the league, Golden State doesn't have to prove its superiority anymore or, at least, doesn't feel a burning need to. "Lob City" was once a measuring stick and, sometimes, a squad that Golden State could aspire to one day best. Now, the Warriors have 73 reasons to win and the Clippers aren't one.

When I read through the brief I was excited about the lack of boundaries we were given on what we could produce, and the imagery we could use. I was worried about only using Illustrator for the app icon as I don't tend to use the programme, and when I do find it rather annoying to work. Besides not liking Illustrator I found it to be one of the elements in the brief which I found most interesting. This was down to what I was able to find out, and what you can achieve using the programme. Another element of the brief which I enjoyed working on was creating the magazine spread illustration. This was because this felt to be one of the parts which I was able to fully put my creative style into, as the instructional illustration and app icon all had big purposes which played a part in the illustration but for the magazine spread illustration I was able to produce whatever I liked.
Through my research, I learnt that to make a successful illustration it needs to work and be suitable for what it is for. In my app illustrations, the ones that stood out and were interesting used colour and texture. In the instructional illustration research, I learnt that the style of illustration changes how the illustration and instructions and perceived. I used what I learnt to influence and guide my own illustrations.
In my app icon illustration, I was influenced mainly by my app icon research. My app icon research showed me what a good app illustration looks like, and what a low-quality illustration looks like. I used this to help guide me throughout. The main app illustration which influenced me was The Curry Guy, through its use of textures and bold colours. I also used influences from WHY NOT JAMES, Julie Notarianni, Jing Zhang, and the ifbags.it website to inform me and inspire me on colour, style, composition and line work.
For my instructional illustration, I used influences from nearly all of the types of illustrations I researched into. I used my research to influence typography decisions, style, composition, the narrative within the illustration and many other elements. The illustrators I used to influence me are; Natalya Zahn, Liv Wan, Jing Zhang, and Katie Eberts. Other illustrations that influenced me are; the biological illustration from Lang J, the illustrations of fieldandflower.co.uk/ website, and the app illustration Veggie Weekend.
In my magazine spread illustration, I wasn't as influenced by the illustrations I researched into as the two other illustrations, as I felt the magazine spread was an area which I could show off my own style and talent. Even so, I did use influences from my research for colour combinations, styles, and typography. The illustrations and illustrators which helped inform me are; Holly Exley, Natalya Zahn, Julie Notarianni, Isabel Arenas, WHY NOT JAMES, Jing Zhang and Avid Granov.
In my app icon the colours used, and texture is the most successful parts. The colour brings attention to the app icon, causing interest, meaning it would work in a real-life environment. The texture gives the app icon something more than a regular app icon, the texture brings the illustration to life and allows me to create depth within the illustration. What wasn't as successful would be the quality of some of the illustrations, take for example the lime segments. These could have been done at a higher quality and made to look realistic. I am extremely happy with my final outcome and happy that I used Illustrator to create it instead of using photoshop for areas which would have been easier. My app icon fulfils the brief, as it works as an app icon as it states through the imagery what it is about – food. It is interesting to look at, and eye catching which means it would stand out against a range of other app icons. It also fulfils the brief as it evokes the chef's crazy style of cooking. The use of vibrant colours contrasting with each other and the composition work together to evoke this. To make this illustration fit the brief even more I could have made it suit the app more, as it is Dan Lovell-Brays ready meal line. To have done this I could have put the illustrations of food within a ready meal container.
In my instructional illustration, the composition of text and illustration has worked successfully this is because the two parts are balanced, nothing is too heavy one side. This means my illustration is pleasing and easy to look at, and take in – which I believe to be an important part of an instructional illustration, especially one that is designed for a cookbook. What hasn't been as successful would be the quality of some of the illustrations within the illustration. The finer liner drawings could have been done to a higher standard and made to look more realistic. Overall I am happy with the quality of my final instructional illustration. The use of Photoshop allowed me to create clean, accurate depictions of the ingredients with ease, which meant I could spend time making sure they were of the highest of qualities. The final illustration fulfils the brief as it includes the recipe title, the use of photoshop, illustrator, and traditional methods which were scanned in. My illustration also evokes Dan Lovell-Bray's crazy style of cooking through the use of crane imagery as this is quite unusual towards a cookbook illustration. My illustration also includes text on how much and what to do with the different ingredients. To improve this illustration to make it fit the brief even more, I would have decided on a different recipe, one that involved more skills and instructions so my illustration could use every aspect of an instructional illustration.
In my finished magazine illustration, the composition and colour palette have been the most successful elements. The colour palette is vibrant and bold, making the magazine spread to stand out – this means when someone is flicking through the magazine their eyes would be drawn to this page. The bold and vibrant colours also evoke the crazy style of cooking Dan Lovell-Bray has. The composition is balanced and visually appealing to look at, making it a successful illustration for a magazine spread as someone would be turned away if the illustration wasn't pleasing to look at. An area which I feel isn't as successful is the positioning of text, especially with the main body of writing. The whole illustration and magazine spread feels very bottom heavy but also to far down on the page. This would be something I would improve for next time. I am happy with the quality of my overall illustration, as it is artistic and vibrant to look at, the illustrations are also in areas as realistic as I could make them. To improve the illustration I would alter where the text was positioned, and also the digital painting of the face. This area I feel could be improved to be made to look more realistic. My magazine illustration fulfils the brief, due to it having text on both pages making it a double page interview spread, using a combination of digital and traditional processes and mediums, evoking the crazy style of cooking; and using influences from my research. To make my illustration fit the brief even more, I could have thought about including more typography, to do this I would alter the way the illustration was on the double page spread.
Throughout this project, I enjoyed using the gradient mesh tool on illustrator, as it was something I learnt how to use for this project. I also enjoyed using the mixer brush tool on photoshop as again, this was another tool I found and learnt for this project. These tools helped me in creating the quality in all of my illustrations, and without them, I feel my illustrations wouldn't have been as good. From this project, I have learnt new skills using digital programmes, especially in Illustrator but have also learnt to try out all ideas until I find the one I am most happy with.

European stocks rose for the first time in five sessions as higher German bond yields helped push up lenders including Deutsche Bank AG.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose 0.2% in London. Germany's largest bank rose after four days of declines, with lenders among the best industry group performers as yields rose across the continent. Personal and household goods shares were also among the best gainers, with Adidas AG rising 8.4% after the sportswear maker raised its sales and earnings forecasts through 2020, while oil shares dropped with the price of crude, Bloomberg reported.
The UK's FTSE 100 index traded little changed after the UK government unveiled its spring budget in London, with measures on business-tax relief for certain businesses and a reduction to the tax-free dividend allowance. The general benchmark fell 0.3% Tuesday, as drugmakers led losses after US President Donald Trump vowed in a tweet to lower the cost of medicine.
The Stoxx 600 has lost some steam in recent sessions after reaching a 15-month high last week as bets for a Federal Reserve interest-rate increase soared. Futures traders are pricing in a 100% chance of an increase in borrowing costs at next week's Fed meeting.
The yield on Germany's 10-year government bonds, Europe's benchmark debt security, rose as high as 0.377%, surpassing last week's high of 0.363%.
Investors are focusing on the European Central Bank on Thursday. No major changes to policy are expected, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts, though respondents predict a change to quantitative easing will be announced in September.
German industrial production rebounded in January, reaffirming the country's favorable economic outlook after factory orders slumped the most in eight years.

Detangle before starting?
I'm looking to start locs from about 10-14 inches of loose hair. I'm thinking I want to grab and twist/roll to start and then allow them to do their own thing with no manipulation (not sure if that would be considered free form). I wear my hair in a shrunken very tangled fro most days. So my question is, should I detangle to start the locs or is that counter productive? Should I just grab and twist knots, tangles and all?
Thanks in advance.[COLOR=Purple][I]Natural hair isn't for everyone, just those who are born with it.

Re: Detangle before starting?
I wouldn't advise twisting without detangling first.
Think about it. (Or if you have time, try it...) With your hair in a shrunken 'fro, how easy do you think it would be for you to grab your hair section by section and roll those sections or put them into a set of twists?
If doing that is easy for you, then never mind. However, in my opinion, natural hair is easier to manipulate once it's been detangled."Coal mining is harder [than writing]. Do you think miners stand around all day talking about how hard it is to mine for coal? They do not. They simply dig."

Great structures part of SA sprinting's recent run of success
- Updated: June 17, 2015
A string of top performances by South African sprinters in recent weeks has put athletics in the local spotlight.
Akani Simbine recently ran the fastest ever 100-metre outside of South Africa at the Diamond League meeting in Rome (10.08 seconds), only for this to be bettered a few days later by Henricho Bruintjies (10.06).
Anaso Jobodwana has twice broken the national 200m record this year, which he now holds at 20.04. He has also run a season-opening 10.13 in the 100m. It is unprecedented for South Africa to have numerous sprinters performing at this level on the international stage. So, what has brought about this change?
Elite sports performance is complex, and no single aspect of an athlete's preparation can be isolated as the one key to success. The training plan, strength and conditioning, technique, psychological preparation and medical management are just some of the essentials that an athlete needs to have in place in order to perform at their best. To manage and execute in all of these areas to the extent required in elite sport would be an impossible task for a coach and athlete in isolation.
Jobodwana (who is based at the World Athletics Centre in Phoenix, USA), Bruintjies (pictured) and Simbine (both from TuksAthletics at the University of Pretoria) are benefiting from structures that connect coaches with a sport science and medical support team.
The Pretoria-based athletes are both scholarship holders at the University of Pretoria, enabling them to complete their tertiary education and alleviating some of the financial burden while training to compete against the best in the world. Tuks athletes are also supported by the High Performance Centre, where Simbine is currently a sponsored athlete, covering many of his sports science and medical needs.
'Sport science' is often touted as a major contributor to success in elite sport, but, too often there is a misconception that an isolated sport science assessment will provide all the answers needed to enhance performance. In reality, a systematic approach is required; otherwise all you are left with is a set of numerical data. If testing is conducted systematically, however, careful interpretation of the data can provide valuable information on which coaching decisions can be based.
The High Performance Centre structure has created an environment where Simbine and his coach work closely with a strength and conditioning specialist, have an open line with a sports doctor and physiotherapist, and access to systematic biomechanical and physiological analysis. Together, the athlete, coach and support team are working towards the same goal.
The recent results of South African sprinters have many people talking about the potential of a 4x100m relay team, and the possibility of a medal at the 2016 Olympic Games. Based on the performances of Jobodwana, Simbine and Bruintjies, and the handful of athletes who would contend for the fourth spot, South Africa would certainly field a team capable of challenging for a bronze medal, on paper.
The national record of 38.35 seconds, which was set in the fourth-place finish at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, would have placed fourth at this year's IAAF World Relays and fifth at the 2012 Olympics.
In order to make the step up to a podium finish, the relay squad will need to find a home that provides them with at least the same support structures that some of the individual athletes are currently enjoying.

Millie Jones had a saying that had her friends and family likening her to "Wonder Woman." She would say, "I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves."
Jones, of East Meadow, was diagnosed with breast cancer at 50, roughly 13 years ago. She underwent chemotherapy and additional treatments, had a double mastectomy and took medication for five years when she went into remission.
Then, in March 2017, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After two months, it developed into a Stage IV illness and spread to her liver. Her condition worsened over the summer, developing into an infection.
Jones died on Sept. 23 at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia, surrounded by friends and family who sang her favorite songs and shared stories with her in her last moments. She was 63.
"She went just the way she lived," said her daughter Cassie, 33. "She went on her own time . . . and there wasn't anything that was left unsaid. Everyone made sure to let her know how much they loved her."
Jones philanthropy was seen throughout her life. She worked with the Girl Scouts of America, Make a Wish Foundation, American Cancer Society and East Meadow Kiwanis.
One of the programs she and her family were involved with was running the holiday party at the pediatric department of Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow.
Cassie said that her mother did not care about "material possessions or fancy clothes," but preferred to focus her life on experiences. This led her to wear many hats and explore different endeavors with the people she loved.
Jones spent time as a model for Barbizon Modeling and Acting School, took ballroom classes with her husband David Jones, took karate classes with her family, took dance classes with Cassie for almost a decade, was a Sunday school teacher at East Meadow United Methodist Church, was a stage mom when Cassie acted in the church's plays and one of her greatest passions was bowling. She continued to bowl until she became too sick to lift heavy, Cassie said.
"She was always involved in everything," Cassie said. "She was everywhere, she never missed a single thing. That was really important to her."
Jones was born in 1956 in the Bronx to her parents Anthony and June Uzzi. She moved to Amityville, where she went to Amityville High School and graduated in 1974.
Cassie said that her mom was a role model to her siblings and, when the family faced economic hardship, she worked at bakery and pizzeria to help buy food and clothes for them, while also taking cosmetology classes.
On graduating, she worked at a Pathmark in Levittown where she met David, who was a stock boy. The two married on Sept. 11, 1976 and moved to Merrick before East Meadow, when they had their daughter Cassie in 1987.
Jones worked for the Bank of New York, which merged with Chase, before working with First National Bank of Long Island in 2009. She continued working with them, even in the throes of her illness, because she loved it there. "They were like a family to her," Cassie said.
David worked for Mid Island Collision in Rockville Centre for roughly 40 years before leaving his job last October to spend time with her.
Jones was the president of the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce in 2012 and was a member of over 15 years who took part in many of its community engagement programs. She was also a member of Kiwanis Club of East Meadow and the Sons of Italy.
"Over the years Millie's shoulders were always the ones to cry on, not the other way around, even when she wasn't feeling well," wrote Frank Camarano, the chamber's Board Chairman, in a letter to chamber members. " . . . For her it was about what was going on with you, how were you feeling and if there was anything she could do to help."
Jones earned the Town of Hempstead Pathfinder Award in 2018. She received the chamber's David Rothbaum Silver Fox Award, was named a Nassau County Trailblazer and was voted a Nassau County Woman of Distinction in 2013.
"The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one," said Dolores Rome, who was close friends with Jones and nominated her for the Pathfinder Award.
Jones is predeceased by father Anthony. In addition to her husband David and daughter Cassie, she is survived by her mother June Uzzi; two sisters, Annie and Rosie; three younger brothers, Robert, Joey and Anthony Jr., her son Matthew, and 13 nieces and nephews.
Matthew works for an engineering company called Electric Bulk and as a mechanical engineer for the U.S. Navy. For the past two years, Cassie took care of Millie while working on her art career. She is a body painter for Manhattan-based Tryon Entertainment, used to own a tattoo shop, works for Isabella's Creations cake company in Brooklyn, and face paints with charity Operation Birthday Party. Her artwork will be on display at Spotlight in Huntington on Nov. 7, which will be a dedication to her mother.

The plan had everything that I required plus over 9000 various woodworking and furnishings plans. There were a wide variety of various wood projects covered, and all were user friendly plans that you can easily follow and utilize in your home.
If you reside in a location that is prone to tornadoes, then have you ever thought about installing a storm cellar? They utilized to be all over as soon as upon a time.

A Skill circular saw, portable table saw, jig saw, heavy responsibility cordless drill, set of chisels, orbital sander, quality drill bits, and various hand tools like tape procedures, clamps, and so on

Possibly you ended up creating something that looked absolutely nothing like the vision in your head or it was not practical due to the fact that you forgot an important element. With a good woodworking strategy you can make terrific projects that turn out every time.
The huge distinction though was the rewards that I got with the item. I received a totally free CAD drawer worth a couple hundred dollars, in addition to 150 premium videos relating to woodworking and great craftsmanship, as well as a total woodworking guide that I believe has 250 pages. Fundamental details all the way approximately sophisticated stuff. It likewise had life time complimentary updates. I saw something likewise where it said that over 3700 individuals have purchased Ted's Woodworking. That stuck me as kind of odd at first. I'm not sure why. I think since there is no method to validate that.
A Tenon Jig is easy to make. It supplies accurate four-faced tenons of almost any length and width. It has fewer parts than the Mortise Jig, yet is just as accurate.
Exactly what's unique about these clamps is how the pressure is used. Instead of tightening up a threaded screw, a wood wedge is tapped between the clamp and the work piece.
If you organize your toy-building projects thoughtfully, you can constantly be working on the next age-appropriate toy. Young kids require to exercise their little bodies, and a rocking horse is simply the important things.

A technique for becoming better organized and if you survive on some home, is to acquire or build an outbuilding, such as a shed. This should be inexpensive with few concerns. There are heaps of plans for constructing simple and capable sheds. Or you could buy a low-cost storage system. It may be stunning just how much additional space you have from obtaining a little storage shed. Unsurprisingly, you do not wish to simply toss all your various products into the shed then stop thinking about them. Plus, this is a chance to put things in order and get rid of the valuables you do not need. The things you conserve need to be place in storage boxes and broke up inning accordance with category, therefore if you wish to get something out of your storage space, the act will be uncomplicated.

text: Mathijs Kok 33472 Posted August 9, 2012 With any complex add-on there are risks of the simulator crashing and often these issues are very very hard to debug if we cannot recreate them. Let me put that another way. If you take a blank computer, install windows (and update it), install FSX/P3D (and update it), install the Airbus X Extended we are 100% sure there will be no crashes to the desktop. But there are a a kazillion different configurations of hardware and software and problems will occur. What's important is how we handle those.What we will always ask is what your OS is. Windows 7/64 bits and Windows 8/64 bits are by far preferred as they are the most stable and provide the most memory (assuming you got at least 4 GB). If you got Vista/32 bits and have a lot of programs in memory it is easy to run out of memory.What we will always ask is what tweaks you done to FSX. We handle over 100 support tickets a day and 10% (!!) of those are solved by deleting the FSX.cfg and letting FSX build a new one. There are thousands of tweaks suggested on the Internet and a good deal of them are just nonsense.We will also ask you to go to an area where you do not have any add-on scenery and to lower your scenery setting to the lowest settings. If that prevents the problem it means that there is something that overloads the system. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morgan Stanley Injects CNY 26 Billion into Chinese Data Center Provider Tenglong
This is the highest amount of financing ever raised in a single round in the Internet Data Center industry.
Tenglong Holding Group (腾龙数据), the Chinese leading Internet Data Center (IDC) service provider, has completed a record-breaking CNY 26 billion (USD 3.7 billion) Series A funding. This financing event, led by Morgan Stanley and NanshanCapital (南山资本), saw the highest funding amount ever recorded in the IDC sector.
Founded in 2015, the Beijing-based IDC provider focuses on deeply customized value-added services. Driven by big data, its product mix includes cloud security and cloud computing solutions and the Internet of Things (loT)-related services, to name a few.
Tenglong is a fast-growing player in China's IDC field, though it is a late entry in the market. Only four years after its startup, the IDC provider has established branches in Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing and Wuhan.
Reason for Tenglong to land this staggering amount of financing lies in the following four aspects:
Breakthroughs in the traditional business model in the IDC sector through deep customization
Tenglong is among the first group of Chinese companies to cut into the customized IDC market. According to this model, the service starts from signing the contract with the client; afterward, the data center will be planned, designed, constructed and delivered to customers.
On the one hand, customized services eliminate the limitation of the traditional data centers – the construction of which always comes before finding customers – and thus significantly reduces the cost. On the other hand, it allows the needs of clients to be maximized, which contributes to higher usability.
Emphasizing on independence
Throughout the construction, operations and maintenance process, Tenglong always emphasizes a certain agenda: 'own one's own property, self-develop construction, maintain independent operations.' Therefore, the company has great value from both in terms of value-added, fixed assets and future cash flows on IDC service.
Top clients
The company has close strategic partnerships with all the three of China's major telecommunications operators, namely China Unicom (中国联通, CHU:NYSE), China Mobile (中国移动, CHL:NYSE) and China Telecommunications (中国电信, CHA:NYSE).
Meanwhile, Tenglong has also undertaken data center construction, operations, and maintenance management services for China's dominant Internet juggernauts, including Alibaba (BABA:NYSE), Tencent (0700:HK) and Baidu (BADU:Nasdaq).
Relying on heavy assets is an intrinsic characteristic of the IDC industry
Running an IDC business needs big money. According to Tenglong, the investment of a single data center tends to exceed CNY 1 billion. This year, the total investment of the 5G City project which the company signed with the Chongqing government is expected to be more than CNY 10 billion.
At present, Tenglong has more than 10 larger-scale data centers under planning and construction. As of Q3 2019, the IDC provider has contracted an area of 76,000 square meters, and the area under construction has reached 241,000 square meters. By the end of 2024, its overall construction scale is expected to reach 1.47 million square meters, and the contracted area will be 1.13 million square meters.
Here are some firms whose businesses lie in a somewhat similar area as that of Tenglong: illumio – a data center and cloud security company headquartered in Silicon Valley, historically raised a total of USD 332.5 million – and Evocative Data Centers, another American IDC provider based in Emeryville, which freshly secured USD 30 million in its first funding round in November 2019.
China's IDC industry is currently in a broad window of opportunities, witnessing high growth of more than 30% on an annual basis, according to market insiders.

Mase is really looking to get back in the music game. The rapper has teamed up with the likes of DJ Khaled and Diddy for his latest single, "Rap Rushmore."
Although Diddy and Khaled are featured, the duo are really only providing ad-libs between Mase's verses on the beat. The Florida helmed rapper's last release was "The Oracle" that was a diss track to Cam'ron. When the Dipset affiliate got word of the tape, he told The Breakfast Club that he's "never dissed Mase in my life" adding that he doesn't play with someone who plays with God.
"Once you start playin' with God and start taking people's money, and say rap is the devil then come back and rap cause you ain't got no money, I just can't pump with you. I'm not sayin' I'm the most religious guy in the world, but I don't play with you when you play with God," he explained.
Listen to the beat and tell us what you think.
Quotable Lyrics
I'm the only pretty ni**a from the city
Hoes or Diddy ever had love for
Give a ni**a mug for
Dope boy swag I ain't never
Had it cut raw

She's traded the excitement of emergency and trauma medicine for primary care, and Brianna Sikes, Mercy nurse practitioner, is bringing years of specialized training to Mercy Clinic Family Medicine – Buffalo.
"With this switch, I'm most looking forward to building relationships with my patients, which is something you don't really get to do when you're working with trauma patients," Sikes said. "I want to educate my patients on how they can take control of their health with simple changes. I love the education aspect of family medicine."
It may be no surprise Sikes was initially drawn to trauma medicine. Her mother is an emergency room nurse and Sikes witnessed the excitement of the ER firsthand when she was growing up in Bolivar. It's why she began her career as a nurse in the neuro trauma ICU at Mercy Hospital Springfield, then worked full time with the trauma surgeons there while earning her nurse practitioner degree. She also has experience caring for burn patients. In all, she's been with Mercy for eight years.
Her skills will be a benefit to patients around Buffalo. "I love wound care and I'm happy to help patients with chronic wound management," she said. "I can even do wound debridements in the office so people don't have to travel."
Sikes is looking forward to getting involved in her community, too. "I love practicing where I call home," she said. "Caring for kids and watching them grow up healthy and strong is another passion of mine. I'd love to see lots of kids coming to see me for their checkups!"
You may not even need an appointment to see Sikes. For care of a minor injury or illness, you can walk in to Mercy Clinic Family Medicine – Buffalo Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. You don't need to call ahead – just "come on in." Some of the issues that are appropriate for these visits include:
- Evaluation of new symptoms
- Simple cuts, puncture wounds and abscesses
- Sprains and strains
- Cold and flu symptoms (fever, ear pain, sore throat, etc.)
- Urinary tract infections
- Rashes, minor burns and insect bites
For other needs, make an appointment with Sikes by calling Mercy Clinic Family Medicine – Buffalo at 417-345-6101 or by clicking below.

These are the words from Jonnie Tsunami, also known as Jonathan Boyd. If you ever want to meet someone genuine in all sectors of life: genuinely nice, genuinely talented, genuinely funny, and so much more, he's the guy for you. Tampa, Florida native Jon Boyd is one of the greatest people that I've met thus far.
He says "I'm fucking 25 about to turn 26. I'm black. I'm trying to make an impact." As a black man from the wild aka Florida, it's amazing to see the impact that he has had not only within his city but as far as the continent of Asia. In the past two months he's raised almost $3000 for Homeless and Foster kids in the Tampa Bay Area while giving out over 400 ice-cream cones. Crazy right?
In the word's of Kanye's Last Call "Yo but I rap too." Yeah Jon Boyd is a talented ass rapper a part of a collective called Bluuzone which consists of other creative geniuses adding their unique flares to music.
I met Jon through my dear friend Tyree aka SheepishNarco, and I'm so glad that I did. I'm not just writing this interview as a spectator but as someone he's impacted. I'll never forget him helping me get through my fright of singing and finding my voice again.
I'm fucking 25 about to turn 26. I'm black. I'm trying to make an impact. I think when I hear that question I think about how I just changed my instagram bio. I hate to be so cliche…but I just changed it to like a "professional dabbler." I've never been able to just be good at one thing. I feel like I'm good at a lot like a fucking renaissance man in the truest sense. That's cliche but I like to do a lot. I don't want to be in one box.
Like Girlfriends and shit.
Yeah so I guess in the most cohesive sense, I was born in Brandon, Florida. Grew up in Plant City, Florida. I went to elementary school at Temple Terrace Elementary. Yeah before they were the Tigers, we were fucking Dolphins. I'm an only child, my dad's still there. My mom is still there. I grew up hanging out with my parents a lot just because I lived so far away from a lot of people at school. I feel like that made me grow up really fast. Like I remember ironing clothes in like second grade and shit. Doing my own laundry and shit. Not really hanging out after school with a lot of people. I'd rather keep to myself. I think I'm an extrovert but definitely have introverted moments.
Yeah, family is still here. A lot of my family lives in, you know, Plant City, Tampa and in this very small city called Fitzgerald, Georgia. Super, super southern. I like to think that I get my morals from a very Christian and Southern background. And unapologetically Black, you know what I mean? I went to middle school at Roland Park and then I went to high school right at Jefferson. When I graduated, I got my International Business degree at USF and I minored in Marketing Economics. I worked in management for a year and after that I went to China for three years. I worked for the Walt Disney company. After that, I came back to Tampa. Now I work for a Tech Startup company.
I would say everything that people expect. You're in a foreign country and as soon as you land in the plane, you know that. Some things are the same. So you know fashion is a little bit of the same. Technology is a little bit of the same. It is very different. The food is very different. You know the customs are very different. Culture in general was very different. But China in a nutshell was amazing. I got to travel all of Southeast Asia except Malaysia and Taiwan.
So I've done a lot of travel. I learned a lot about myself. I think I needed it. I think China is a place where you go, and especially if this is like your first or second time out of the country and you're living abroad. It's a place where your maturation process excels. You have to learn how to be an adult really, really quickly. Outside of the college experience, outside of the study abroad experience, this was a place that I need to learn how to grow up really fast because I was taking care of myself in the truest sense. You know when your mom is 7,000 miles away, it's like you can't ask her for shit.
I definitely say Chinese people are the kindest people I've ever met. And I think that sharpened my skill about how to be genuine to people, how to love people in the right way and how to love yourself. I think they did a really good job at showing kindness. They have very strong family morals. But also taking time in reflecting to improve themselves in every sense: when it comes to food, fashion, music…they're always refining their process. I think that it takes that to be where you want to be.
I think in humanity. In a very human sense. I think I appreciate things more. Being an only child and having Christmas only to you, makes you very greedy. It makes you very self centered. And i think a part of that maturation process for me was to kind of shed all of that. So I appreciate people more and I give more. I try to make the impact more because I know that time is short. We don't know how long we have. I try to give as much as possible and then kind of take my time to reflect and refine myself, you know what I mean? Everyday. It's kind of like that human process that I think people kind of miss out on.
So a part of being that professional dabbler, is figuring out how to make an impact that not only helps me out. Because you know I make music and all that. But also it's like how do you impact and give back to your community? So we me and my friend Luke launched this project called Jon's Ice Cream Drive. And basically we're renting out an ice cream truck and we're giving ice cream out to everyone in St Pete. We also partnered with a charity called Birthday Candles for kids. And the charity is dedicated to help foster kids and homeless kids to celebrate their birthdays that have never celebrated before. So it's apart of that "Ridding yourself of that ego." to go back to that China question. But yeah so we're collecting donations on behalf of them and giving out ice cream. We've got a lot of traction so far. I think it's going to be super successful.
St. Petersburg is getting a free giant ice cream party to benefit homeless and foster children https://t.co/LP8WvuoaTO
— Florida Evan (@navesznn) June 2, 2019
So you know, it goes back to "ridding yourself of that ego" and my Christmases I spent them alone with my family, but alone. And I spent my birthdays primarily alone. So it's like how do I help people celebrate my birthday but also help them celebrate other people's birthdays. It's my born day but it's not necessarily about me. I think it was a really cool initiative to do it. For me personally, how do I align this initiative with some of my other goals? And think this just makes sense. Especially when you want to build a platform to do good for others. This was the first step.
Yeah could imagine never celebrating your birthday? Could you imagine that?

Yeah, I think that that is a tough skill to learn. I think before we can grow, I think you have to be vulnerable. I think that's something people are afraid of. But I think it takes looking in the mirror and dissecting yourself. Figuring out your pros and cons and appreciating yourself. Realizing that there are certain things that you want to fix about yourself. So in order to practice that empathy. You have to be vulnerable. That's part of the reason why some people don't practice it.
So music has always been apart of who I am. So growing up I definitely sang in church. I remember in elementary school, the first real introduction to singing in a structured way was doing chorus. So I did that for a couple of years. I liked singing and I like my voice but I was very insecure about it. So I transitioned into band. I did and for almost five years. I play the trumpet, piano and I play a couple other instruments. To be very honest, In high school I was embarrassed and insecure about joining the band. I was like "You know what? I'm not going to do it. I'm going to try to be cool and hip and make as many friends as I can rather than chasing after a passion of mine. I suppressed that. I tried to suppress it until like sophomore or junior year of high school when I met Jordan Patrick.
When I met him he was doing music. At this time it was like 2008 or 2009. And my favorite genre of rap EVER is Ringtone Rap. Like "Snap Ya Fingers". Like all that shit is my shit! T-Pain! All that shit is amazing! T-Pain?! I'M IN LUV WITH….all that shit. So I've always tried to emulate that in my head privately. And then I met Jordan and saw how talented he was. And we would always freestyle and bullshit with our friends and he was like "I think we can kind of do something special." So the first song we ever did, me, Jordan Patrick and my friend Aaron Sullivan. We did this song called Free Throw in 2010. It was basketball referenced song with a whole bunch of bullsht. They actually played it at the Teachers vs Kids basketball game at our school. They played it at half time and when I heard the reaction I was like 'THIS IS IT!" I was like "I'M ABOUT TO BE A RAPPER!" But I don't think that I ever fit the kind of persona of a rapper. Back in the day and nowadays we pitch only one kind of person in rap. One Schema.
My mom is a huge India Arie fan and my dad is Jamaican so I grew up on Beres Hammond and all that shit. So very melodic. When I wanted to do rap, I wanted it to be very melodic. All of the music that me, Jordan and now Patrick Hughes, makes comes from a very melodic, soulful and honest place. Because we've had very similar childs….AND PLUS WE LOVE KANYE WEST. It's a very specific era of Kanye West.
That Late Registration, College Dropout, Graduation…Those first three albums, I think we are stuck in that. I think we do a 2019 version of it.
It's unapologetically Black.
It's fun and innocent but
Also it's our story. We don't really hear our story too often. And it's done in a very high quality way. I think both of those things are two things that I focus on. Being unapologetically me but also having a high and unique quality to it. Because I'm very aware of what sells and what's popular. I feel like in order to spread your message you have to do both of those things at the same time.
I hate this question! Man I don't know. I go back and forth with myself all the time. So here's my theory about Kanye West: I think he works best when his back is against the wall. Right? So the best Hip Hop album that he's ever made was My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. And he made that because he was in some shit with Taylor Swift. Ok that's just what it is. That media stunt changed his narrative from "We love Kanye" to "We hate Kanye." When that happened, he made the best album of his life. So I think the whole Trump thing was "How do I put my back against the wall? How do I get that sense of urgency to create?" I think he needed it but I think it was the wrong thing. You can't just endorse a Bigot. I don't think he saw that. I'm sure he was like "Ok I'm going to get this backlash and I'ma prove them wrong." That's the thing with Kanye West, he likes proving everyone wrong. When the industry went right with Gangster music and big ass chains he went left with polos and backpacks. So his whole dichotomy is "Anti Popular." What's the biggest "Anti" popular thing right now? Donald Trump. Like "How do I find that Anti like again? When everybody's going right, I go left." It was Donald Trump and I think it was a terrible decision. But that muhfucka made Family Business. So it's like, I told Tyree (@SheepishNarco, Check out his photography) "Man, I hate Kanye West. Kanye West is my Rap Dad. I grew up listening to him. I can't let him go because he made some bogus ass mistake, even though I hate the mistake he made. So I'm with Kanye West musically but I hate decision right now.
Yeah if not the most influential person ever.
I don't like the fact that he's like "I should have the right to say how I feel." Yes you do. But also, you have a social responsibility to black people. I'm sorry. We helped you build your brand. You owe it to us. There's not a lot of yous.
Hell yeah! I begged my mama for some fucking shutter shades. I had the fake one because the real ones were white. I had BLACK ONES! I got them shits from the Flea Market!
I'm not gone even lie, I wanted to be Kanye West. That's my rap dad and I'm not afraid to say that off the wall shit. BUT he has a responsibility to us. The thing is, from Country artists to pop stars there are so many of them, they don't have to shoulder that burden. But Kanye West does.
I think as fans we have to take a hard look in the mirror and think about what he's doing now with that soulful Sunday shit and Gospel choir. To me it's pandering so I don't subscribe to any of that shit. That music is not even that good.
No, I love choirs and strings. Sunday service has both of those elements but that shit seems pandering as fuck.
Pandering to me seems like he's just trying to win over black people again. Like he's saying "Oh hey guys! I'm black again and this is how I'm doing it." By a choir and singing church songs because really in essence, every black person is that. That's a whole other conversation. That's just my opinion. But we'll get an album and the music will be good.
Sidenote: This album is so fucking good. Naveszn does not endorse mediocre work. Narco Family (Jon, Jordan (most talented producer in the state of Florida, and Patrick (I could go on for days about this talented a$$ dude…sheesh) are so underrated. I implore you to go check them out like now.
Yeah so in early 2015 me, Jordan Patrick and Patrick Hughes made It's Not You It's Me. It was an idea that I thought of. It was how do we make compilation music popular again. Because like I said I grew up in the Ringtone Rap era. Apart of that wsa the Remix Era, so we would hear "Lean Back" And then we would hear "Lean Back Remix" with like 30 people on it. So how do we capture that because we lost that in the mid 2000s…early 2010s. My idea was to make a compilation project with different sounds and different tones. How do we make it really cool?
Funny story about that is..we actually waited to the last minute. My idea was to drop it on Valentines Day. I don't think we got started until like February 12th. So all of that project was done in literally 48 hours. We got a studio right off 50th street. We spent an entire night there and came back the next day, the 13th and finished up some work. On the 14th we dropped. We did 11 or 12 songs in 48 hours. That was "It's Not You It's Me." I decided to leave the country in 2016. I think that's what kind of motivated me. We had a really strong momentum. We started performing in the city. And then I was graduating college. I graduate college and I came out a little depression.
I was like "What the fuck am I going to do with my life?" Everything that a college graduate goes through I went through. That kind of delayed some stuff until I was ready to announce that I was going to leave the country. Before I left the country, in that same kind of sense I finished my project. I did a project called BIG (Before I'm Gone). We finished 7-8 songs. We finished that in 48 hours as well. I dropped it when I landed in China, which I thought was pretty cool. 2015 is about relationships and how do we capitalize on them, the Up and Downs, and Ebbs and Flows of relationships. BIG is about being fearful and trying something new but doing it and praying to God that you're right. I think we executed it well and you pair it out the music that Patrick Hughes is making and the momentum of Jordan Patrick; we're getting together and making one more and figuring out what the next move is.
Oh man that's a very heavy question. When I think about my future, I try to not think about it as often as people do. Because I've learned, as of lately, you need to be kind of present in the moment to enjoy things.
I have a hard time at doing that because I am a big thinker. My mind scrambles with ideas all the time. I think that's why I have a hard time answering questions about my future because I feel like I have so many different paths. But ultimately I want to impact my community. I want to build platforms for other people. I want to be able to travel at my leisure. You know I work at a really cool job and I'm in the tech and startup industry. That's super cool and I'm networking with a lot of people. But ultimately I never want to work again. I never want to work a 9-5 ever again. I don't want my family to do it. I want to build something. No matter what it is, it will set up my family for their future. You have to remember that I'm an only child so my perspective is different. There's this pressure…Shout out to therapy because I talk to my therapist about this. There's this pressure that I have with being the last of my lineage. I'm a boy and that's it. When I die, the Boyds are gone. So I really need to make a real impact for not only me but the future of my family.
In a very cohesive way, I really want to make an impact regardless of what it looks like.
