Kim Kardashian gave Beyoncé a run for her money when she shared a racy throwback snap of her seriously sexy leather lingerie shoot from 2008.
The 33-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star makes one seriously hot biker girl in the retro snap as she showcases her world famous curves in thigh-high leather boots, tiny leather knickers and a cropped leather biker jacket – and very little else.
Flashing some serious skin in her dominatrix-esque ensemble, Kim's throwback snap was taken from the mum-of-one's 2008 calendar shoot, which featured in Season Two of KUWTK.
If we remember correctly, the S&M-style shoot was actually for her then-boyfriend, Reggie Bush. Kanye West, cover your eyes!
'#tbt calendar glam,' Kim captioned the Instagram photo.

We have a feeling this isn't the kind of bridal underwear Kanye will be picking out for his bride-to-be on their big day…
Still, if she dug this out of her wardrobe for Valentine's Day we're sure he wouldn't be complaining.

BREAKING NEWS: Corum Exits Baselworld 2019Written by Melissa Kong
Another one bites the dust.
Corum CEO Jérôme Biard
The Baselworld organisers should be very concerned, now that yet another brand joins the Swatch Group to announce their departure from Baselworld 2019. Corum CEO Jérôme Biard intends to take the brand in a new direction and "concentrate on its clients and watch enthusiasts."
"We are working hard, with positive results, to get Corum back on the path of its golden age, when Corum took the first position at the entrance of Baselworld," Biard said in a statement. "Today, our main objective is to focus on the real 'ambassadors' of the brand—retailers, final customers and journalists. We therefore need to change our approach and invest the budget in other ways."
This marks the end of 62 Baselworld fairs for the brand, which will focus its 2019 and 2020 strategy on more intimate and targeted events across three different continents (presumably Europe, Asia and the USA).
With five months to go till Baselworld 2019, this announcement comes at a relatively late stage. Will anyone else follow suit? Your guess is as good as ours.

Flowski Skiing Powder In Huckleberry Canyon at Sierra
Huckleberry Canyon was open today so we indulged in fluffy waist deep powder at Sierra at Tahoe. The snow storm was wonderful because there was no wind and it was very cold so the quality of the powder was amazing by Lake Tahoe standards, well by any standards.

EU Data Protection law & USA – Make America G…DPR Compliant
By Contracts and Technology Solicitor, Paul Eastwood.
Whilst that title may not look catchy on a nice red hat, the EU's incoming data protection law (the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR, effective from 25 May 2018) is very much being noticed by businesses in USA, with more than 75% of respondents to a PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP survey of American businesses on their GDPR-readiness revealing that they planned to spend $1million on the new law.
Businesses in USA that import certain types of data from the EU have long been aware of the reach of data protection legislation, with the Privacy Shield (or its predecessor) available to US businesses wanting to self-certify compliance with the EU's high watermark for data protection in the event of data transfers from the EU. However, a significant impact of the GDPR is that it can also capture businesses without a business presence in EU who process certain personal data (a term more widely defined than USA's "personally identifiable information"), either for themselves or for a client.
The expanse of the Atlantic Ocean will not be sufficient to avoid the territorial reach of GDPR for those businesses who offer goods or services to EU residents (regardless of whether a payment is required) or those who process personal data to monitor the behaviour of EU residents within the EU. Whether or not this offering takes place will require an individual analysis, but where businesses allow payments in euros, have an EU-based website (such as .ie or .co.uk) or use EU customer testimonials it is more likely that those businesses' activities will be within the scope of GDPR. It will also be timely to look at how far website cookies monitor and build profiles on individual users (and consider what the business is really getting out of that functionality).
Once businesses know they are caught by GDPR, they will need to know what obligations apply to their collection, use, sharing and destruction of certain types of personal data.
Specifically for such businesses who are caught as above, and in addition to all of the other obligations of the law, GDPR requires that a person has to be nominated (in writing) to be the business' representative with regard to GDPR compliance (unless an exemption applies). That representative will not only be the point of contact for authorities in the EU, but may also be pursued by those authorities for enforcement proceedings following breaches by its appointing business.
On a more general basis, other than the significant fines that can be levied for breach of the law (potentially €20million or, if higher, 4% of the organisation's previous year's annual turnover), the main changes which have been grabbing attention are the quick breach notification requirements (less than 72 hours), the "right to be forgotten" in certain circumstances and the legislative obligations now being imposed directly on data processors (usually service companies).
Trying to find a silver lining, although it may not be welcome news to hear that the EU's data protection regulations apply and an investment must be made in various operational and technological updates (including updating T&Cs and privacy notices), GDPR may also be viewed as an opportunity. It is the next revolution in data protection and goes some way to aligning laws across all of the EU's Member States (regardless of Brexit), which allows for consistency of approach when it comes to compliance. Further, a robust approach to GDPR may also be attractive to clients and consumers in the EU, where a company's reputation for respecting privacy and data protection will never be as valuable (or more sorely missed) as the day a breach notification hits the media.
While great care has been taken in the preparation of the content of this article, it does not purport to be a comprehensive statement of the relevant law and full professional advice should be taken before any action is taken in reliance on any item covered.

The average American is not eating enough fiber. In fact, most of us get less than half of the recommended allowance of approximately 25 to 35 grams of fiber we need every day.
What is fiber? Fiber is an indigestible carbohydrate found in plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables and grain products. Your body cannot digest fiber, and it passes through your body largely intact.
Why are most of us lacking in fiber? We eat far too many highly processed foods. The refining process takes out the natural fiber found in plants. We also consume a large amount of animal products, which all contain zero fiber.
These foods make up a large part of our diets and are poor sources of fiber:
- Refined grains – commonly in most bread, pizza dough, crackers, dry cereal and pasta
- Sugars – found in soda, baked goods, candy and other processed goods
- Animal products – includes meat, chicken, fish, milk, cheese and butter
- Oils – in the form of salad dressings and fried foods
Why do we need fiber? The numerous benefits of fiber include its ability to stabilize blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, decrease the risk of colon cancer, prevent constipation and support a healthy body weight. In addition, foods high in fiber are often high in mineral and vitamin content. Fiber may also prevent or control diabetes.
Here are 9 ways you can add more fiber to your daily diet:
Start your day with whole grains
Look for whole-grain cereal or oatmeal with 3 or more grams of fiber per serving. You can also add fruit to your breakfast to get even more fiber.
Fresh fruit
Any type of fresh fruit is a healthy snack. But when it comes to getting in your daily fiber, not all fruit is created equal. For high fiber fruits, try pears, raspberries, blackberries, bananas and blueberries. Apples with the skin on also provide high fiber.
Dried fruit
Most dried fruits are loaded with fiber. Try having a handful of dried figs, prunes, dates, raisins or apricots as a snack. You can also chop them up and add to cereal or even as salad toppings.
Vegetables can be a great source of fiber, too. High-fiber veggies include spinach, corn, broccoli, potatoes and artichoke hearts. All vegetables have some fiber. Too boost your daily fiber, add vegetables to sandwiches, pastas, omelets and soups. You can also add vegetables to salads or other meals.
Nuts and seeds
You may be afraid to eat nuts and seeds because they can be high in calories and fat. Yet, nuts and seeds are a great source of fiber and other nutrients. Sunflowers seeds and almonds are especially high in fiber. You can add nuts and seeds to salads or a cup of yogurt. You can enjoy a handful of mixed nuts for an afternoon snack.
Beans are high in fiber, full of protein and low in fat. Try eating beans at least twice a week to boost your fiber. You can use beans in soups, stews, rice and pasta dishes, salads and casseroles.
Peas and legumes
Lentils and peas are related to beans and are high in dietary fiber and protein while also being low in fat. Lentils are great for soups and stews. Cooked chickpeas can be added to salads or made into hummus.
Whole-grain bread and crackers
Whole grains include the entire grain and give you all the nutrients of the grain. If you're eating a sandwich, choose whole grain bread. Try dipping whole-grain crackers in a healthy spread or eating them with your favorite salad.
Drink water!
Water and fiber work as a team in your body. Water is absorbed by fiber and helps waste products move more freely through the digestive track.
Also be cautious about adding fiber too quickly. Introduce fiber to your diet gradually so your body can adjust to the increased intake over time. Exercise can also encourage the movement of fiber through your digestive system.
Eating a diet high in fiber combined with other healthy foods can help improve your overall health and well-being. So, add more fiber to your diet today!

Norwich City could still be very much in the running to land Jordan Rhodes on loan from Sheffield Wednesday this summer, reports Sheffield based journalist, Alan Biggs.
I can see the Jordan Rhodes to Norwich loan being revived & would be surprised if it doesn't go through, maybe quickly. Too much will from all three parties for it not to happen – #swfc, #ncfc & the player. Complex but do-able having come so far.
— Alan Biggs (@AlanBiggs1) July 9, 2018
This will be little surprise to many of us, as City chase a proven Championship goal scorer and The Owls look to stay on the right side of the financial fair play rules.
There has been plenty of speculation about Rhodes over the last fortnight and there's never smoke without fire, so there's clearly something in it.
Rhodes' best mate (apparently) is Ben Marshall, which could help grease the wheels from the player's point of view and he's probably keen to get a fresh start in any case. That would mean that the only stumbling block, as ever, would be money.
Having said that, I've no doubt that Stuart Webber has been negotiating hard and refusing to go above a set level. That's probably why Wednesday are yet to fully engage but as July starts to run out, they are likely to come back to the table, assuming he is not a target for anyone else, which at £3m for a loan fee alone, seems unlikely.
In other news, Angus Gunn is close to a permanent move to Southampton, according to BBC Sport.
Angus, of course, spent last season on loan with the Canaries and was an ever present during the course of his loan from Manchester City. It seems he is behind Ederson and Claudio Bravo at the Etihad and he needs to leave for regular first team football.
His profile is pretty high right now, helped by Gareth Southgate involving him in the England set up last season, so I imagine the Saints will have to pay a pretty penny for the former Norwich Academy trainee.
Whatever happens, I wish him nothing but the best and he looks like he's going all the way to the top of the game.

A few weeks ago, a friend and fellow indie-author received one of those most-coveted orange "best seller" flags from Amazon. Knowing that he had been working hard on social media to attain that #1 rank, I reached out to him to see if he might be willing to share some of the methods he put into practice to get there. He agreed to put those thoughts down for you, so I'll turn the podium over to him.
Using Social Media to Attain a Best-Seller Rank on Amazon
James Quinlan Meservy
Jenelle was kind enough to ask my thoughts on promotions on Social Media, and I hope what I have to say may be useful to you.
Here is what I did when I hit #1 in FREE DOWNLOADS & #1 IN SALES with "Sykar the Volkrog" but be warned, some of the things I did are now against Facebook Community Standards, and I recommend finding a method of promotion that will not get you banned from Facebook, or put in FB jail, or suspended in group activity because the BOTS monitoring FB activity flag you as spamming.
When "Denizens Among Us, The Realm of the Light Book 2″ was released, I wanted to increase my personal seller rating, so I posted my perma free books, "Welcome to the Realm of Rai, A Rai Saga Short Story," and "Sykar Meets the Flause" in FREE book groups on Facebook, posted self promos on IG, Twitter, MeWe, my blog, my newsletter, LinkedIn, and Tumblr. I also asked friends and family via Messenger to help me reach my goal by sharing my promo posts, and asking if they have purchased a copy of either book yet.
I also updated my keywords and categories on Amazon using advice from an author friend.
Then I continued to post in my free & book promo groups on FB (about 10 groups an hour with different text every 5 groups) until I hit #1.
After I hit #1 twice in Free Downloads (I personally believe I was premature in saying 'bestseller' because they were free, but I was so emotional at finally seeing one of my books as #1 of sales in any category, Free or Paid, that I was not thinking straight and overly excited) I KNEW I was a bestseller in PAID categories, I envisioned myself as a bestseller in a PAID category for a few years now, and was determined to hit #1 with 2 paid-for titles. So I did everything the same as above, only with my 2 titles which were on sale for $0.99, 'The United, The Realm of the Light Book 1′, was on a promo sale at the time, and 'Sykar the Volkrog' is a perma-$0.99.
Sykar gained traction in its category and started selling, so I continued to promote it, whereas The United was not going anywhere in its category. As I started gaining sales, I started taking screen shots of Sykar's progress, and posted it on Twitter, my Author Page on FB, IG, and my other Social Media accounts with headlines like "Sykar is at #6," "please help this adorable puppy become a bestseller," and my personal favorite "let's beat Pickachu" (the #1 in my category was a how to draw Pokeman book, when Sykar was at #2.)
Apparently my posts gained some attention because Sykar the Volkrog eventually hit #1.
Side note, I tried some different strategies on my page and blog that DID NOT work, such as "everyone who posts Proof of Purchase of the Kindle edition of 'Sykar the Volkrog' will receive a free audible code for the audiobook edition." Only 1 person commented a Proof of Purchase.
I only hit #1 in sales with Sykar for a couple of hours of Amazon, and am still trying to figure out how to hit #1 on different sales platforms. This is still very much so a learning process.
Moving forward, here are my recommendations:
1. Instead of Messaging everyone individually to help me share my posts about my books, I would create a Messenger Group and then invite Friends and Family to Join, and only ask them to copy, paste, and/or share a Facebook link from my Author Page or personal profile.
2. Only ask friends and family to help you share your promo posts if you think they would be supportive and helpful, otherwise you may damage or strain your relationship with them.
3. This is my sincere advice about Facebook promotions in light of the new Community Standards, only post 1 promo post in 1 Book Group every hour or so, so choose your groups carefully.
4. Before going on a big promotional run, build your Newsletter with NL swaps, and your blog with Blog Tours.
5. Creatively think of how to phrase your promo posts. I was informed that asking people to 'buy' your book outright is considered illegal, so be careful on your wording.
6. Keep in mind my personal thought, "The only bad marketing idea is the one you do not try, the rest are learning experiences." Within reason, at least. My strong advice to you is to keep within the standards and guidelines of whatever Social Media Platform and sales platform (generally Amazon) you are using.

Our Christmas party is in five days. And yes, I do cook all of the food. Our party is a big event, and it has grown in every aspect over the last thirty years. We invite all of our friends and family (and their children if they are friends with our children) and I cook all of the food. For about 200 people. And no, I am not a caterer. I just know how to plan a party. Today I can't wait to share my biggest tip with you.
Tag: party
How to Plan the Party of Your Dreams
This has been the summer of entertaining. We have hosted a lot of dinner parties and I couldn't be happier! I should probably admit how much I love to entertain. For over twenty years we have held our annual Christmas party and I still make all of the food, even though we now have over two hundred people who attend.

Pomona, CA (June 19, 2019) – The LA County Fair is poppin' with a plethora of partners for its 2019 end-of-summer party, with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) providing artwork from its collection, the Autry Museum sharing a flare of western history and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses® offering a bit of floral brilliance.
Also sharing their experiences with Fairguests: the Discovery Cube, who'll bring its science programming to share with school children during the FairKids Field Trip program; the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum and La Brea Tar Pits, offering their expertise with visits from a paleontologist; and LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes brings its LA Troka mobile gardening workshop.
Partners were announced at a press conference held in front of Chris Burden's Urban Light at LACMA on June 19.
"With these partnerships, we have raised the bar on what a county fair can be," said Miguel A. Santana, President & CEO of Fairplex. "We thoroughly embrace our nostalgic traditions – with farm animals, food on a stick and carnival rides – but now we've incorporated elements of cultural components that contribute to the rich diversity of Los Angeles and Southern California. And that's perfect this year, since we are celebrating pop culture at the Fair."
The Fair's theme is "Fair Goes Pop," a celebration of LA Pop Culture. The Fair runs Aug. 30-Sept. 22.
LACMA will be lending the Fair an artwork by film and video artist Christopher Richmond as part of the Fair exhibition at the Millard Sheets Art Gallery. LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan said LACMA's collaboration with the LA County Fair is a special opportunity for the museum to reach audiences throughout LA County.
"As LA County's art museum, LACMA has an ever growing commitment to sharing its collections with audiences throughout Southern California and beyond," said Michael Govan. "We are excited to bring Christopher Richmond's dynamic work to new audiences, especially from the Inland Empire, and hope this will inspire conversations about the intersection of art and film."
Richmond's piece, Available Light, is a 16mm color film with sound transferred to HD. The contrast to old-school art gallery installations once de rigueur at the Fair is enough to draw curious eyes. In the past few years, the Millard Sheets Art Center has embraced modern art. That fits in particularly well with this year's pop art Fair theme.
W. Richard West, Jr., President and CEO of the Autry Museum of the American West, said he's thrilled to be partnering with the Fair. As part of the Autry's collaboration with the Fair, the museum is providing reproductions of nostalgic posters and speakers on a variety of topics related to the art, history, and cultures of Los Angeles and the broader American West.
"Having our museum's name in front of the 1.2 million guests who attend the Fair creates the possibility of new eyes discovering the Autry and everything we have to offer," West said. "This collaboration also opens a door to introducing Fairguests to lesser-known aspects of the American West and the many 'imagined Wests' that have been represented in popular culture over the years."
The Tournament of Roses is providing neon signs and educational components on Rose Parade floats to the Fair's Flower & Garden Pavilion, which, this year, is themed "Pops of Color." The Rose Parade® fits perfectly into the Fair's pop culture theme. Plus it continues the Fair's longstanding relationship with the Tournament of Roses. In the recent past, the winner of the Fair's High School Marching Band Competition earned a spot in the Rose Parade.
"We are pleased to be working with the LA County Fair again," said David Eads, executive director, CEO of the Tournament of Roses. "Both the Rose Parade and the Fair have such history as Southern California traditions, it's a perfect fit for us to partner."
The Natural History Museum and La Plaza de Cultura y Artes also have worked with the Fair in previous years, with NHM providing paleontologists to the Fair and La Plaza bringing out LA Troka, its mobile culinary and garden workshop wagon. The addition of the La Brea Tar Pits fits perfectly as one of the iconic LA scenes being recreated at the Fair is a pair of wooly mammoths fighting extinction in pits of tar.
Engaging external iconic institutions to boost Fair programming and experiences is a step Santana and his team has embraced since he took the helm three years ago.
"One of Fairplex's guiding principles is to celebrate that which is uniquely Southern California, so to partner with such exemplary organizations like LACMA, the Tournament of Roses and our other cultural institutions is a no-brainer," Santana said. "Being able to share resources, audiences and programming is a benefit to all, especially the Southern California community."

The Food: wine pairing is always a problem at a consumer show – the lights are dim, the wine must be swallowed, and you might want to re-taste the food with another wine. Nevertheless, we soldier on. The best display was Summer Fresh dips and sauces: they had a well-lit lounge with crackers and veggies, plus more than a half-dozen of their 20 or so dips, all accompanied by just one wine pairing (a Crush Riesling Gewurztraminer 2011 which went rather well against such an assortment of sauce flavours). Most food stations were tables where samples could be picked up, and most had just short lineups. The Fifth provided a red fife crepe with duck confit, the Dairy Farmers had three cheeses (Tre Stelle Feta, Mountainbrook Aged Gouda, and Empire 4-year old cheddar, all exceptional), Distillery Events featured smoked and cured candied salmon with house bannock, and Aria Ristorante had a chilled zucchini soup with shrimp "chips". Barque had exquisitely smoked salmon, Crush Wine Bar produced halibut fired fish sliders on house buns, while the Houselink Food Program had an eggplant appetizer on cracker. Bernardin showed off its pepper and garlic jelly bruschetta and veggie antipasto, Stonemill was the "official bread sponsor" and Q Water the "official water sponsor", while Popelin had innovative choux a la crème for Icewine pairing.
The Downside: as it was a consumer show, the lights were lowered, so it was difficult to actually see the wine and much of the food.
The Upside: a chance to re-try some of the wines I had blindly judged.

That variable is used by WebDAV to identify the siteaccesses you want webdav access to.

A meek and alienated little boy finds a stranded extraterrestrial. He has to find the courage to defy the authorities to help the alien return to its home planet. This is a great family movie. It is very emotional and funny. All time favorite
ET Classic
I've always loved this movie don't miss this one it'll make you laugh cry and you'll be entertained for quite a while never gets old it had a profound effect on me
It is emotional and irresistibly cute movie.
One of the best Classic movies. It is emotional and irresistibly cute movie. Will definitely make my Kid watch it. :D
E T Movie
This is one of my favorite movies, Dee Wallace Stone is a good actress, she fits the roll as Mom perfectly. It is a good kids movie , a movie a family can watch together, it made me laugh and cry, I love the alien E T he looks real and he was funny. I give this movie 5 stars.
ET Phone Home!
This movie is a must for any children collection of videos or dvd's. This movie came out when my son was a bit too little to watch it but once he got to age 3.. he was hooked. ET PHONE HOME was one of his favorite things to say. ET is basically a story of a lost alien who befriends a little boy who does everything in his power to help ET NOT get caught by the bad guys (government) A heart warming story for all ages. A short funny- I had a photo of him when he was little with ET on his shirt and he said to me.. Look Mom, there is ET with my shirt on. I thought I would die laughing at him.. gosh so long ago. Anyway... to any of you NEW parents and to you who have not seen this incredible movie, I hope you will. It will make you laugh and cry and you leave with a great feeling at the end.
E.T. a classic
I loved watching this movie as a kid, curled up on the sofa with a pack of reeses pieces. Especially watching it around Halloween. It's in my collection.
A classy family movie
ET PHONE ! ET goes home ! amazing movie for children and adults. not only a fantasy movie as one of the main plots is the friendship among ET and the children. Definitely i movie to be watched again and again!
Go home
Classic movie. I don't watch it any more because I have seen it soooo many times. Great movie for children.
I loved this movie growing up and also as an adult.Such a great story.
Manipulating Cinema
Truly a revolutionary classic that will always remain in my heart as a beloved film. Steven Spielberg and many of the crew from this film are actually getting together again to create a new film called The BFG because they had so much fun exploring the elements of cinema and how to manipulate it to represent the extra terrestrial back in the 80s.
Great movie!
This is a classic! My children love it too! I actually don't know anyone who doesn't like this movie!

The original URL is here: http://djrobswift.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4755
Today, a student from the Scratch DJ Academy emailed me wanting advice on what he could do to become a professional DJ. Inspired by the tone of his email I responded with some tips I think all aspiring DJs should consider. Thus, I'm sharing my answers with you, the next generation of DJs/Turntablists. I hope this helps you guys!
Karim: Other than practicing all the time which I guess is needed to get really good at anything, what else do you think is necessary?
Rob: With technology being what it is today, anyone can walk into a Guitar Center, buy DJ software and become a make shift DJ in a matter of one day. Because of this Karim, you must realize you have a lot of competition out there. Not only are you competing to etch your name among established DJs like myself, you also must figure out a way to stand out amongst the 100s of new up and comers that exist with every new day. My advice to you with regards to "what else" I think is necessary is really learn how to inject more of your personality into your sets. Learn how to brand yourself through your music. One of the main reasons why I've gone on to form a career as a DJ is because I successfully developed a signature style. NO ONE OUT THERE SOUNDS LIKE ME! Therefore, promoters know when they book me to DJ a club, they're getting DJ Rob Swift, a DJ who's branded himself as unique and different from the rest. From my presentation, to my look in front of the turntables. When I'm in front of a crowd. My audience knows that although I may hop on the turntables after 1,2,3,4,5 or even 10 DJs in one night, the way I will relate to them through music will be different than any one else.
Think of DJing like fast food. You're probably asking yourself what I mean by that, right? Well hear me out. You know how pretty much all Diner food taste the same? If you walk inside any Diner across this country and open a menu, they all serve pretty much the same food: Burgers, Cheeseburger Deluxes, 2 Eggs any Style with Hash Browns or Homefries, etc. Now, when you walk into a McDonalds you noticed something different. Whether it's the design of their restaurants or the way their fries taste. You can't walk into a Diner and have order a Big Mac. You can only get a Big Mac at McDonalds. You can't walk inside of a Diner and order a Whopper. You can only get a Whopper at Burger King. You can't walk into a Diner and expect their Fried Chicken to taste like KFCs. You want some "Finger Licken' Good Chicken" you must go to Kentucky Fried Chicken.
You see my point? Figure out a way separate yourself (be it the way you play music, the style of music you play or how you present your music) from the rest of mundane DJs that exist out there. You do that and you'll etch yourself in the minds of music lovers all over the world. That's what I did!
Karim, you should definitely consider figuring out way to expose yourself to music goers too. Entering DJ Battles was huge for my career. It was a way to show people I existed and I was able to rank myself amongst other established DJs in the scene as well as newcomers. With each battle, my reputation grew because I was able to make a mark on a bunch of people at one time. Sign yourself up for battles such as the DMC or RED BULL DJ Competition. You should even join local battles you may hear about. Anything that will help get your name out beyond just your friends!
Karim: Also, in terms of practicing, how many hours did you used to practice per day/week? Should I be working to become a specialist in one area (ex. genre of music or equipment used) or become more of a generalist?
Rob: Practice as much as you can. The more time you spend in front of your equipment the better you get. It's just that simple. As for becoming "a specialist in one area", I've always personally felt you can be "the best" or "a master" in one area of DJing but it doesn't mean you'll have longevity. Being a "generalist" isn't an adequate word to use in my opinion. I say be well rounded. Make your style every style. You're abilities should be limitless. I've made my debut on to the DJ scene in March of 1991 at the North East DMC DJ Battle. 20 years later, I'm still here, more relevant on the scene than I ever was because I've prided myself on being able to do it all. You put me on stage in front of an audience ready for me to cut it up, no problem. Throw me on in front of a crowd on New Years Eve that wants to shake their asses and party, I got that covered. Shit, I'm confident I could even DJ your parents 30th wedding anniversary. My style is to do be able to do it all. When your limitless, you have infinite potential to grow within your craft.
Good luck to you Karim!
Rob Swift

9. Bahia Blanca – Carlos di Sarli
Known as the 'The gentleman of tango', Carlos di Sarli used to be a crowning star in his times. Bahia Blanca is an instrumental which owns its name to Carlos di Sarli's hometown. His playful and subtle musical style is looked up to by tango musicians of the current generation.
10. Vida Mia – Osvaldo Fresedo
Vida Mia is one of the many melodious tango songs composed by famous Argentine artist and director of tango orchestra Osvaldo Fresedo. Notably, he is known to have the longest recording career in tango music.
11. Nueve De Julio – Juan d'Arienzo

LAS VEGAS – Consistency and stability were staples of Bernard Hopkins' career as a middleweight. Bouie Fisher and Nasim Richardson devised the strategy and worked the corner. Arnold Joseph handled the legal work, and Hopkins took care of business in the ring.
That's the way it was for most of his record 20 title defenses as a middleweight champion. But as he embarks on a second career of sorts against Winky Wright on Saturday night at Mandalay Bay, a season of change has engulfed Hopkins' inner circle.
Working Hopkins' corner will be Freddie Roach, replacing Richardson, who recently suffered a mild stroke. Richardson had taken over for Fisher, who left or was fired, depending on which version you believe, before the second Jermain Taylor fight.
Hopkins also isn't working with Mackie Shilstone, the fitness guru who helped him jump from middleweight to light-heavyweight and dethrone Antonio Tarver in June 2006 in Atlantic City.
That was supposed to be Hopkins' retirement fight, the perfect ending to his historic career. But then Hopkins got the itch again and now faces Wright, a former champion at 154 pounds, in a 170-pound non-title bout.
Hopkins is a creature of habit, and there are questions whether a new trainer and a new training camp can produce the same success.
"I think Winky's a turtle and Bernard's going to crack the code and bring him out of his shell," Shilstone said. "He doesn't need Mackie for this fight."
Shilstone says he turned down a chance to work this fight with Hopkins.
"At this point in my career, having done so many world-class fights, it has to be a real title fight where there's a lot on the line," Shilstone said. "I need a challenge and this really isn't a challenge."
Hopkins, a Philadelphia native, trained at Roach's busy Wildcat Gym in Los Angeles, another first in his career. What effect all the changes to Team Hopkins will have fight night is uncertain. There is little Roach can teach Hopkins, a counter-puncher who wins by staying busy and wearing down opponents.

Archive for the 'International' Category
Socialist Party TDs have referred to the Irish Independent's front page article yesterday, 1st of February as 'tantamount to incitement to hatred.'
'The impression created by the paper's front page article yesterday was that unemployment was being chosen and relished. The original article, appearing in Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza reveals a situation exactly the opposite to this. The level of inaccuracy cannot be put down to a careless mistranslation but rather it amounts to an
attack on foreign national workers, which, as the Polish Ambassador alluded to yesterday, is an ugly feature of history in times of economic recession,' Clare Daly, Socialist Party TD for Dublin North stated today.
The Indepedent's original article on the subject claimed that the Polish woman living in Donegal, pseudonymously called 'Magda' had stated that living on Social Welfare was 'like a Hawaiian massage.' In fact, she had referred to having studied a FAS course in massage and was hoping to earn a living from this skill in the future. She also
specifically stated in the original article '"I have a big problem with being unemployed, I don't want to live at the State's expense and for that reason I use this assistance to allow me start up my own business".
Joe Higgins TD said, 'In the context of continuous attacks on Social Welfare both here and in the UK, where the current Social Welfare Bill aims to slash billions from the welfare state, it is unacceptable that the Independent would publish such an inaccurate and yes, racist article, which would create a backlash against foreign national
Clare Daly continued, 'The Independent should print a front page apology, dealing with the issue in equivalent length to the original article which they published with abandon. The confusion and controversy which the article generated has created a lasting false impression in relation to the experience of people on Social Welfare and should be addressed comprehensively. It is an abuse of the newspapers position that they have done this.
United Left Alliance TDs challenge Troika on doomed austerity policy
Payment of unsecured bondholders and threatened sell off of state assets raised
Today United Left Alliance TD Clare Daly and Richard Boyd Barrett's had an hour long meeting with the EU/ECB/IMF troika along with a delegation of Independent TDs. At the meeting Deputies Boyd Barrett and Daly challenged the troika on their doomed austerity policy and focused particularly on the drive for the privatisation of state assets and other austerity policies that have facilitated the ongoing payments to senior unsecured bondholders.
After the meeting Clare Daly said:
"I pointed out that the austerity policy of the passed four years and the strike of private investment has destroyed hundreds of thousands of jobs. Rather than selling off state assets which is the typical neo-liberal response we should be investing to expand state enterprises and public works as the only guarantee to create jobs in the massive numbers required.
"I don't accept the parameters of the supposed debate between the government and the troika on the scale of the proposed sell offs. €2 billion is €2 billion too much never mind the €5 billion we are told is being sought by the troika. The fact is that the sell off of any or all of the assets under discussion would not even reach these figures.
"The experience of eircom and Aer Lingus as well as that of the sell offs in the neo colonial world demonstrates to us the consequences of pursuing this policy from the point of view of jobs, conditions of work and vital infrastructure.
"Therefore I would urge workers in the companies whose privatisation is under consideration to ready themselves for a fight."
Richard Boyd Barrett said:
"Both the IMF and ECB among others have predicted in their forecasts that growth will return to the Irish economy in 2013 and had previously predicted a return to growth for 2012. IMF policies are failing and failing disastrously as can be seen from the down-grading of European and Irish growth projections, rating down-grades of major European economies and the EFSF, and the possibility of a second bail-out.
"'We challenged the Troika on their disastrous failure to resolve the deepening economic crisis in both Ireland and the wider European
"I questioned the Troika on precisely what role it had it terms of requiring the full repayment of senior bondholders and the Anglo-Irish promissory note and the more general policy of bank-bail-outs and austerity.
"We need to break from the failing policies of IMF-EU austerity. The ULA proposals taxes on wealth and assets, rather than the regressive or socially unjust taxes and cuts being imposed on low and middle income families. There is still lots ofmoney in Ireland, we need to use that wealth to rebuild our society not to pay greedy bondholders and speculators".
Euro referendum called for
· Referendum must be held on summit agreement
· 'Austerity union' would be disastrous for people across Europe
· Socialist Party will be to fore in campaigning for a referendum and for a no vote
Socialist Party TDs Joe Higgins and Clare Daly, together with Socialist Party MEP , Paul Murphy, have called for a referendum to be held on the outcome of the European summit, which will entail a significant transfer of power in budgetary matters from the Dail to the European Commission, Council and Court of Justice. The Socialist Party will be campaigning vigorously for a referendum and for a no
vote if a referendum is held.

Motion re European Summit
Like my colleague, I am speaking as an internationalist in support of the ULA positive addendum to the Technical Group's motion. The idea that one cannot be pro-Europe if one is against the European Union is nonsense. The current position makes it clear to people everywhere that there is dictatorship by the markets is not an exaggerated claim by left wingers in respect of a global capitalist plot, rather it is the reality in Europe which has been laid bare before the eyes of ordinary Europeans everywhere. What is under way is a monumental assault on democratic rights by European bondholders, bankers and speculators, facilitated by the leadership of the European Union.

He'eia General Store
I finally made it to this place - the He'eia General Store at He'eia Pier. Yesterday, I brought another old friend - Mike Gabiga - over to try out the local food (he doesn't have a car, so it'd be a long bus ride to get here). The General Store has gotten somewhat of a cult following after getting some press from the mainland. It always has a crowd waiting and most days they sell out of whatever is on the menu (Mike ordered the Guava Chicken, but it had already sold out). I was lucky enough to get an order of Misoyaki Beef (so good!!!). And the mac salad was not guilt laden either - yet it was really good. The guy at the counter even picked up his fishing rod and made some casts for papio when the crowd back off - my kind of place!!!

Sabine Grimm specialises in the interior design of large yachts, and for anyone with a passion for sophisticated fabrics, a visit to her showroom at an der Grenzpappel 41 is a must. She has 2,000 fabric samples on site, over 45,000 in her catalogue and soon will be adding another 20,000 to her collection. The business sells everything from rayskin to silks costing over €800 per metre. Grimm has also just launched her own range of leather surfaces that are virtually incombustible.
"Designers come to us to find products that they can't find elsewhere. Everyone sells normal checked material for €6.50 per metre. With us, the prices are a bit higher, ranging from €35 to €850 per metre," says Sabine Grimm, explaining her business model. But the bright decorative 'Sea Queen' curtains have real shells sewn onto them and are adorned with hand embroidery. The leather mesh interwoven with golden thread is ideal for the handrails in superyachts and costs €600 per metre. The rayskins, at €80 each, are perfect for desk tops. "Although rays are challenging to cut because the skin is armoured, unlike cow hide", explains Grimm. Whereas the vibrant yellow embossed wall covering fabric, fittingly named Versailles, is easier to manage and costs €350 per metre.
"We are also happy to create bespoke designs for orders of 300m² or more", says Grimm. So, if you have your own specific design requests, then Sabine Grimm Yacht & Interior Design in Bremen Hastedt, near the Hemelinger Hafen industrial estate is the place for you. She did, however, once reject an order requesting eel skin, explaining that "we draw the line at protected species". Sometimes designers come up with specific, almost-feasible ideas, "but then get stuck transforming them into reality. This is where we are happy to help," says Grimm. For two years now she has been working alongside her son. The fact that he is a qualified carpenter has proven very useful. "While he's out making deliveries in our liveried van he can talk to the interior fitters on a different level because he's familiar with their trade. My expertise lies more in the fields of textiles and commerce".
Sailing runs through both of their veins. Jan-Dirk Grimm practically grew up on his parents' boats and has just upgraded from an X-79 to an X-99 named Xara, both speedy sailing yachts made in Denmark. He is often to be found participating in local regattas, such as the Weser autumn regatta. Meanwhile, his mum enjoys cruising along the Baltic coastline with her husband Carsten on the Nis Randers, a mahogany yacht just under 13 metres long built at Judel/Vrolijk und Co in Bremerhaven.
The birth of her business sprang from a series of coincidences that were always closely related to Bremen's sailing scene. In 2004, when she became unemployed, she began her own business with a start-up grant. The 54-year-old has been sailing since the age of three, so she knows the ropes when it comes to water sports and yachts. She used to carry out paperwork from home for the yacht designer Jens F. Dörgeloh. When his company went bankrupt, she discovered the world of luxury yachts through a customer from the Vegesack district in Bremen. She then met the German representative for Robert Allen, the world's largest premium fabric manufacturer based in the US. Upon learning that he was planning to retire, Sabine Grimm immediately called the European headquarters in London. One week later she had bagged the role, and today she represents Robert Allen in all German-speaking countries and Denmark.
"A product showroom was a must for the business. In January 2016 when we first moved in, the 110m² retail space felt enormous – until the containers full of samples began to arrive from the US," she remembers. Today she receives new sample deliveries on a weekly basis and the showroom almost feels too small. Her product range now also includes the brand Duralee, a company that has recently merged with Robert Allen. "These fabrics are more geared towards younger and European tastes," says Sabine Grimm. She adds that her range will also soon be extended to include her own products. "We are still undergoing the final fire tests with the certifying company Germanischer Lloyd, but we are confident that we will be able to begin deliveries from 1 January 2019."
Sabine Grimm has discovered that fire safety is playing an increasingly important role on luxury yachts, and the requirements pose real challenges for material manufacturers. "We use finished leather, but then coat it in our own special way. We hope to market this product on a global scale." They offer 200 different surfaces in every colour imaginable, produced with split cow leather 'made in Germany'. Sabine Grimm's membership of the DBSV (the German boat and shipbuilding association) and their industry pool Deutsche Yachten enables her, and her young company, to participate at several leading trade fairs. She will be attending the Monaco Boat Show and a fabrics trade fair in Paris in September, Metstrade – a water sports trade fair in Amsterdam – in November, and the 'boot' (boat) exhibition in Düsseldorf in January.
"But we have contacts in Finland, too. I spend a lot of time on the road – including in the south of Germany, where we design material for stately homes and hotels – and we have four freelance sales representatives who travel for us. But we carry out the shipping and quality control tasks here in Bremen," says Sabine Grimm. She tells us that her current annual turnover is €200,000. Grimm believes that Bremen is the perfect location. "Many people don't realise how much business we have here at the shipyards and how many small suppliers there now are." What's more, Hastedt is within easy reach of the motorway and her customers in southern Germany. "We also work with stately homes and hotels, and so we sometimes have to drive for a few hours to meet with architects and designers."
Having begun her business as an equipment supplier, she's still open today to helping out yachties if they need products other than fabric. "It's in my blood because I've been on the water for so long, sailing everything from kids' dinghies to heavy cruisers. I am happy to provide sailing blocks or pots of yacht paint should I get any requests." She also thinks that her son should work more on yacht maintenance: "Jan-Dirk should start being more active during the winter." The 13-metre, mahogany-laminated family yacht is a perfect example of what a well-groomed boat looks like. When asked why she polishes the varnished wood every morning, even on holiday, she laughs and says "Well, of course, the boat is our business card."
What direction will she be steering her business in next? She thinks for a moment then tells us candidly that new-build orders for yachts often have too long a lead time for her taste, and "refits are much quicker. But I would really love to fit the entire interior of a large yacht solely with our own materials – it wouldn't necessarily have to be a superyacht."

More information on the maritime economy and logistics in Bremen and the services offered by Bremeninvest is available here.
The new Silk Road is China's gigantic infrastructure project. Small and medium sized European companies can profit from it - a new network will help them. We talked to the initiators.
The state of Bremen covers 420 square kilometres and is home to around 670,000 people. Almost 22,000 companies provide more than 325,000 jobs. Below, we introduce some of the strong sectors that that make Bremen such an excellent business location.
Bremen's ports are the engine that drives economic activity throughout the region. But do you know which goods arrive and depart, and where? We have taken a look around the eight port complexes in Bremen.
Bremen's economy relies on logistics, whether road, sea, or rail. But do you know how many goods arrive in Bremen every year? Or how tall the tower would be if all the shipping containers in Bremerhaven were stacked on top of each other? We have crunched the numbers.
Bremen-based start-up cellumation has already won various awards for its invention, but now the company is really taking off. It has developed a new conveyor system called Celluveyor, whose modular construction makes it significantly more flexible and means it requires less space than conventional systems.
Bremen without logistics – inconceivable! But what do the more than 1,000 companies that make up the sector actually do? We introduce ten logistics firms.
Logistics is the backbone of the German economy. There are few places where this is more obvious than in Bremen and Bremerhaven, which is why companies are keen to base themselves here.
It is anything but everyday that a Libyan comes to Bremen to found a company here. But Tamim Fannoush has good reasons to choose the Hanseatic city as the starting point for his European business. And they are not only economic in nature.
Bremen is Germany's sixth-largest industrial hub in terms of revenue. Whether the sector is aerospace, food, automotive, shipping or steel production, Bremen has always been a major player.
Europe's largest terminal for breakbulk and heavy-lift cargo is located in Neustadt port. After Antwerp, Bremen's ports are the second most important transshipment hub in Europe for forestry products, steel products and machinery. The federal state of Bremen is preparing for the future in a highly competitive market.
Global commerce would be impossible without shipping, and wind farms at sea are indispensable for energy provision on land. Yet maritime transport systems and infrastructure are exposed to a wide range of risks. The German Aerospace Centre's (DLR) new institute in Bremerhaven aims to identify these risks and work with businesses to develop safeguards.
The depths of the ocean remain one of the last great mysteries on Earth. What is the precise composition of the seafloor? What flora and fauna inhabit it? Where has the delicate balance of the ecosystem been seriously disrupted? We still don't have complete answers to any of these questions, but four young scientists from Bremen are aiming to change that.
Unloading shipping containers requires manual work, which is pretty unusual in the automated and digitalised world of logistics. But a Bremen-based research project aims to change all this with its IRiS robot.
Shipbuilding is a key sector of Bremen's maritime economy. Bremen and Bremerhaven are home to prestigious international suppliers as well as innovative young companies. We present 13 companies involved in shipbuilding from all stages of the process chain.
Bremen-based company Home & Marine works in a sector that generates huge interest, but is often shrouded in secrecy – it builds complex entertainment systems for mega-yachts. The company is reluctant to speak about customers and orders, but since it was founded just over 25 years ago, Home & Marine has worked on more than 100 yachts.
The research alliance ROBEX is sending robots up active volcanoes and down into the deepest and darkest seas. Working across disciplines, the 120 scientists of the 16 institutes involved are breaking new ground on this project. They have been eagerly waiting to find out what has happened to the TRAMPER diving robot, which has been exploring the deep seas around Spitsbergen for a year. Now they are ready to bring it back.
A growing number of companies are becoming more aware of their social and environmental footprint, and are looking for ways to act with greater environmental and social responsibility. Germany's north-west is set to become the national centre for social entrepreneurship in logistics. A new platform is under development and the first round of events is being planned to achieve this goal.
In the space of just a few years, the maritime city of Bremerhaven has developed into a service centre for the seafaring and shipbuilding industry. At the centre of it all is the company German Dry Docks, whose managing director, Guido Försterling, has already heralded the era of 'seafaring 4.0'.
How will the UK's impending exit from the EU affect the logistics sector? Günther Hörbst, Managing Director of the Via Bremen Foundation, on the economic links between the United Kingdom and the EU

New Shure Products and Rechargeable Batteries
Posted by David Schliep on
September 19th, 2012 I've spent the last couple days conversing with a representative from Shure's Product Management Team. Recently, Shure has released a few body packs and one transmitter that are not currently compatible with NiMH rechargeable batteries. The problem lies that unlike conventional alkaline batteries, it seems that on all NiMH rechargeable batteries there is little or no insulation around the negative contact. With a few affected Shure products, there is a data contact that sits in between the two AA negative battery contacts. (see below) Since rechargeable batteries are slightly wider than alkaline batteries, and/or provide little...

Church Batteries – A Rechargeable Solution
Posted by David Schliep on
February 15th, 2012 With over 25,000 churches using our rechargeable systems, church batteries should be a no-brainer. The days of stockpiling huge amounts of disposable are over. With Ansmann and Horizon award winning rechargeable systems, each church we convert saves money, time and the planet – each and every year. Although we are encouraged to see mega-churches make the switch to rechargeable batteries, it is our goal to convert every church, large or small to Ansmann rechargeable batteries for church. An average size church can easily save their battery budget times five years. Depending upon how active your music...
