NAD's BluOS kit lets you add intuitive, high-fidelity network and internet music streaming to NAD's VM130 or VM300 add-on 4K video modules.
This module adds compatibility with Bluesound's BluOS wireless music system. That means you can integrate your compatible NAD component into a wireless multi-room music system. Stream songs on your main system as well as Bluesound speakers throughout your home.
Operate your system via Wi-Fi® using the BluOS Controller app with your Apple® or Android® device, or your Windows® or Mac® computer. It gives you flexible control over your entire music system. Play the same song everywhere or stream different music to different zones at the same time. You can even use your Apple Watch to control your system.
BluOS can send 24-bit high-res music to any room in your home, without any loss of sound quality. Play music from your personal library or from internet streaming services. The selection of supported services — including TIDAL, Spotify®, and Rhapsody®, among others — is one of the most impressive we've seen.
Works well. App is super convenient for selecting playlists. Sound Quality is excellent. Install is little weird, need to be pretty tech savvy.
Compatibility: The NAD BluOS Kit is compatible only with NAD's VM130 or VM300 MDC module (sold separately) for select NAD AV receivers & preamplifiers. The BluOS Kit plugs into either module via USB.
VM130 MDC Module: The VM130 MDC module works with the T757 and T758 AV receivers from NAD.
BluOS: You can now add BluOS network and internet music streaming with advanced music management to select NAD receivers and preamplifiers using the NAD BluOS Kit.

Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The NAD BluOS Kit supports a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (WiFi) connection when using the VM300 MDC module, but only a wireless connection when using the VM130 MDC module. The BluOS Kit comes with a pre-installed WiFi (802.11 b/g/n dongle). The Ethernet (RJ-45) port for the wired connection is actually found on the VM300 MDC module and not on the BluOS Kit. Either network connection allows you to stream music from your Windows or Mac computer and NAS drive (such as the Bluesound Vault, sold separately); as well as stream select online music services.
Note: The included WiFi dongle is pre-installed in the BluOS Kit. If you experience poor WiFi reception, unplug the WiFi dongle and plug in the included 23" USB extension along with the WiFi dongle to extend the BluOS Kit's WiFi range.
Bluesound Controller App: The free Bluesound Controller App turns your Apple iOS (7.0+) iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android (OS 4.0+) smartphone/tablet, Windows (Vista higher) PC or Mac (OS X 10.7+) computer into a full-featured remote control for the Bluesound wireless music system. The Bluesound Controller App on your compatible device uses your home's WiFi network to connect with Bluesound devices, so you can play all the music you love anywhere in your home for a wireless multiroom music experience. Get on-demand access to your music libraries on your home network, stream live Internet radio from almost any place in the world, or listen to one of the many music services available on Bluesound, all from the palm of your hand with the easy-to-use Bluesound Controller App.

Bluesound has been designed to work with today's larger music collections, and has indexed libraries up to 100,000 songs in demonstrated practice (this will depend on the music's metadata & artwork). Bluesound also offers gapless playback by default for all supported file music types.
Online Music Services: With a network and internet connection, the NAD BluOS Kit lets you access select online music services & internet radio. The Bluesound Controller app on your Apple iOS or Android device will serve as the controller for these apps and provide song/artist information with Album Art.

Bluetooth w/ aptX: The NAD BluOS Kit features built-in Bluetooth 4.0 with support for wireless music streaming from your Bluetooth-enabled Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Windows PC/Phone, Mac computer/laptop, and more. You'll be able to stream stored music and music apps on your Bluetooth-enabled device to your compatible NAD receiver or preamplifier. In addition, the NAD BluOS Kit offers aptX for CD-quality sound from Android (OS 4.0+) devices. You can even distribute Bluetooth audio to the rest of your Bluesound wireless audio system throughout your home or office over WiFi.
Note: The included Bluetooth dongle is pre-installed in the BluOS Kit.
Dual USB-A Ports: The NAD BluOS Kit features two USB (type-A) ports to directly connect your USB mass storage class (MSC) device; such as a thumbdrive or external hard-drive. The unit's USB ports support music playback from these compatible USB devices formatted in FAT 32. Not only can USB audio be played back on your compatible NAD receiver or preamplifier, but can also be wirelessly distributed to the rest of your Bluesound components throughout your home for multiroom playback. The USB port is not compatible with the direct connection of an Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad or Android devices.
Will this work with the NAD M51 dac?
I do not have the M51, but I have the BluOS adapter, which I have connected to M187 pre-pro. The M51 does not appear to have the right USB input for it. NAD c658 DAC looks like what you want (from NAD). My DAC is PS Audio.

To start up a gas turbine engine, everything must work in sync with each other.
When it comes to gas turbine engines, there is a starting sequence that is vital to adequate function of the plane. Like other internal combustion engines, a gas turbine engine cannot produce any torque at zero speed. The starting mean system is used to start the turbine engine and crank it to a firing speed. This is accomplished by means of a motor, generator, or other starting device operating through a torque convert coupled to the accessory gear. Without any of these devices, there would be no turbine starting sequence – hence the plane would be stuck in a neutral position.
The turning gear provides enough power necessary to breakaway and rotate the turbine prior to the start of the turbine, and also to rotate the shafting after the turbine shuts down to avoid deformation.
Gas turbine lubrication is vital in the startup process. Before the actual start up and after shutdown, gas turbine lubrication is applied to ensure that there is effective lubrication of the gas turbine engine as well as to increase the performance of the turbine engine as well.
When it comes to the startup process, many planes generate electricity on their own. However, there are portable power units that can help the startup process, which are actually used at smaller airfields. These units can provide the aircraft with enough electrical current to function even without the engine being on.
Start Pac can help you find the right portable power pack for your aircraft today. For more information, visit them online.

The 10-day forecast for Riyadh shows high temperatures from 102 to 105 and lows ranging from 79 to 84.
Is it any wonder that Saudi Arabia uses 70 percent of its electricity for air conditioning?
Researchers at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah said that electricity use for air conditioning doubles in the summer months, when temperatures regularly exceed 100°F (38°C).
Another 20 percent of the kingdom’s electricity is used to desalinate sea water for drinking. About 60 percent of the water Saudis use in their homes comes from the country’s 30 desalination plants (the rest comes from groundwater).
The researchers said a major problem is that 100 percent of Saudi Arabia’s electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels. As of 2017, 59 percent of the kingdom’s electricity came from oil and 41 percent from natural gas.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as part of his Vision 2030 project, favors a shift towards renewables, particularly solar.

My first job was running a small, family-owned, outdoor popcorn stand with my siblings in the Midwest. The popcorn cooked in a big kettle over a gas flame and fell to the bin below, where it was salted, then swept over holes in the metal bottom, so that any kernels that weren’t fully popped fell through into a hidden tray to be discarded. We called those half-popped kernels “old maids,” and we gave them away for free to a few customers who liked their popcorn half-popped.
As employees, we were forbidden from eating the inventory, but no such prohibition existed for the old maids. I would often eat them on the walk home at the end of my shift. I loved the salty, toasted flavor of the kernels, which were crunchy, but not hard like raw popcorn, and never seemed to stale like fully popped popcorn, even during the humid weather. I doubt that many people associate half-popped popcorn with memories of their youth, but a fair number of households have at least one member who loves the un-popped kernels that remain at the bottom of the bowl when they make popcorn at home. Now, there’s a snack product that caters to those people, called Halfpops.
Halfpops are low in fat, gluten free, and nut free, making them a perfect option for snackers who are watching their weight, or suffer from nut or gluten allergies. Their similarity to roasted nuts makes them perfect for snack mixes like trail mix or Chex Mix. Furthermore, their smaller volume makes them a more practical option for snacking on-the-go. They’re available at select grocery store chains, and online from Halfpops.com, Amazon, Thrive Market, Target.com and Walmart.com. A 4.5oz-oz. package provides four servings, and costs about $2.99.
Much like with the storybook old maids for whom un-popped kernels are nicknamed, there is hidden potential to be enjoyed by those who give them a second look. The genius of the makers of Halfpops is that they saw potential in what has long been considered a waste product of the popcorn cooking process. This product is another example of the “Going Full Circle” trend – making new products from materials that might otherwise be considered waste. Their ability to tap this hidden potential drove them to develop a process to create a new popcorn snack for those of us who like what’s left after the fluffy popcorn is gone, in all the flavors we love most!

The notion that there is no true love without jealousy is far from practical. Reality alert – jealousy is suffocating! There are many ways to prove your love for your partner and jealousy is definitely not one of them. In fact, it is an awesome way of pushing your partner away by creating issues which never existed initially. Trust and appreciation can go a long way. Remember that!
The partners started denying each other the simple pleasure of each other’s company, stopped spending time with each other; simply put: they just stopped talking. Communication is extremely important not only to fall in love but also to stay in love. Couples fall out of love when they become strangers to each other! You don’t know what’s going on in your partner’s life, you stop paying attention to each other, you forget their needs and wants, thus inevitably living separate lives even as you live and sleep under the same roof!
Boredom. This is one of the most common reasons why couples or married spouses lose the chemistry within their connection. When the relationship becomes long term, couples often stop investing in each other and in the relationship. They tend to forget that love takes work, you need to choose your partner every day. Passion and romance need to be kept alive, instead of expecting it to ‘magically’ always remain even after the honeymoon phase. If the partners start taking each other for granted, as a consequence the spark and the desire for each other dies, resulting in the slow death of the relationship.
If the relationship wasn’t built on solid foundations then it has high chances of falling apart in the long run. For e.g. lust was mistaken for love, or it started off as cheating or an affair. This wasn’t love in its purest form in the first place and the truth had to hit sooner or later. Relationships which start wrong can never withstand the challenges of life and are destined to end in utter heart-ache and failure.
Couples who fail to develop healthy habits of conflict resolution develop resentment and negativity towards each other. If one or both the partners are bad at handling disagreements, choose to give the silent treatment, let issues build up, fight dirty rather than fair, hold grudges and become vengeful, then the love they had for each other will simply become history, replaced by feelings of anger and frustration.
The closer a couple gets and the more time they spend together, they find out more and more about each other. Their habits, choices, lifestyles, opinions etc. And as you get to know each other in the truest form, you may not be as compatible as you initially thought you were when you were blinded by the initial excitement.
Lying, cheating and dishonesty. These are the biggest unforgivables in any relationship, especially if they keep repeating. The partner who is being lied to will eventually get tired of it and the love will go out the window. It is a sure shot way of making the other person turn against you, a recipe for disaster and a leading cause of relationship demise; be that relationship in terms of a solemn marriage or any other form.

Good Morning friends and I am grateful to have you here with me today as I open up our kitchen all ready as part of the Styled for Spring Home Tour!
Welcome to those of you who are visiting from my sweet friend Lucy at Craftberry Bush. Lucy’s talent is breathtaking and I always enjoy seeing how she decorates through the seasons. A very big thank you to our hosts Randi from Randi Garrett Designs and Jennifer from Decor Gold Designs!
I am excited to share how taking some simple steps with the kitchen give it that vibrant feeling of Springtime. The kind that makes you want to breath in the fresh air, open the windows and sit back for the choir of chirping birds outside.
I don’t make huge changes overall, but budget friendly and quick ones that easily turn the space around.
When transitioning our space from the cold months to the ideals of Spring, I really started craving some soft pops of color. This year you will be seeing some tones of pink and blue and of course my favorite neutrals ;).
Just like the season itself, new life emerges from the stillness of Winter – it is a different kind of magical season.
Of course I like to use what we already have and let it evolve to fit the time of year we are in.
I know that the fresh bloom of the season is greeted by fragrant flowers and festive Farmer’s Markets. Oh do I LOVE Farmer’s Markets. I get to take my woven bag and fill it up with all kinds of goodies. The selection of florals is incomparable as are the fruits and veggies.
We often ooh and ahh over the size of berries and veggies that surround booth after booth. Even though Farmer’s Markets aren’t quite happening right now (where we live) they are coming soon and there are some wonderful ways to use these delights as part of your decor.
Flowers make any space come alive. They look pretty in sinks, baskets and of course vases. In this case I even used an antique pitcher.
I sprinkle them around our kitchen as they make me smile any time I get a glimpse.
Then there are the special ingredients that make our homes inviting and call us to stay and visit.
Those juicy blueberries get folded into flaky scones and turn a sunny morning even brighter. I seem to be catching my littles dipping their fingers into the bowl for a taste or ten, ha!
Using produce and flowers to fill it are the details that make it all special.
This season carries hope, it delivers joy and it leaves us with promise. I treasure this season and all it has to offer, striving to enjoy all those beautiful gifts it yields.
Thank you very much for being here today. Don’t forget to visit my amazing friend Kathleen at Lindsay Hill Interiors. She has a kitchen that I have long admired its’ pretty details and I am always inspired by the colors she uses with her designs! Here is a peek down below which includes today’s entire tour!
Here are both week’s linked for you to go and see all the spring beauty!
It’s gorgeous, Annie! I love your kitchen and you’re always the best at styling everything so pretty.
hello. I normally do not comment but this post deserves a comment. it is beautiful how you style and those scones look delectable! is the recipe on the blog? Love, love, love. what an inspiration!
Carmen thank you so much and I am flattered that you did take the time to share! These were actually from a simple mix I found at the store with some fresh blueberries (Fisher’s Original scone mix I believe) – so easy and they are the best! Again thank you so much for stopping by – have a wonderful weekend ahead!
It’s all just so gorgeous, Annie! I love your soft spring colors. All so beautiful!
Kathleen thank you so much sweet friend, I appreciate it!
Just so beautiful Annie!! I always love your gorgeous styling! And your florals never fail to amaze me! Love it all!!
Whoa, such a pretty and inviting home! And your photos are stunning!!! So glad I got a chance to stop by your blog today!

Unusually, the Capriccio Espagnol is a piece I discovered not from a recording, but at a live performance given by the Philharmonia Orchestra in Leicester. As with many people, I was already familiar with the second half of this work, but the beginning of the piece is, in my opinion, even better. Hearing the Capriccio in its entirety – particularly as it was live, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s rich orchestration could be appreciated to the full – prompted me to look for a recording.
Spanish music was popular with Russian composers in the later part of the nineteenth century. Rimsky-Korsakov wrote his "Spanish Capriccio" in 1887 as a showcase for his proficiency at orchestral colouring.
The opening movement is a lively theme based on a dance from a collection called Echoes of Spain . Later, it returns as the third movement. Sandwiched between these is a set of variations, starting serenely, becoming a little mournful, then reaching a dramatic climax before ending calmly.
The fourth movement, Scene and gypsy song , opens with a drum roll and fanfare. An unaccompanied violin then plays the theme that constitutes the rest of the movement. It provides the opportunity for solos by various instruments. In addition to the violin – as featured prominently in Sheherazade – the flute, oboe, clarinet and even the harp have their turns.
The movement is in triple time, and builds up and runs straight into the final section. This is an Asturian fandango – a dance in thee-four time from the Asturias region of northern Spain. Naturally, this movement features the sound of castanets!
To round off the work, there is a substantial coda that recalls the opening Alborada theme for a final time.

Great with home made chips!
Put the egg yolks into the basin, add the mustard, salt and a little black pepper. Whisk together. VERY slowly add a stream of oil to the egg mixture while whisking.
The mixture will begin to thicken and go very stiff and lumpy. Continue whisking!
Slowly add the vinegar, which will thin the mixture down, still whisking!
If you'd like the mayonnaise to be a bit lighter, add tablespoons of boiling water and whisk it in.
If it curdles you have added the oil too quickly. Put a fresh egg yolk into a clean basin, slowly add the curdled mixture to it, and continue.

I’m Madelynn Honeycutt. I’ve lived in Montana, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Rhode Island, and Italy before making Hawaii my current home. Oahu will always have a special place in my heart and I am extremely disappointed to leave it. It’s really difficult being an Army dependent and having to leave some of my favorite places and people behind. I made so many memories that I will never forget. I will always appreciate and respect this island.
This was such an amazing day. This is my friend Samantha, we were exploring Haleiwa again, and I took her to Waimea beach for the first time. This was also the first time she has tried the acai bowls at Haleiwa Bowls. We both had such a good day, and it really brought us closer as friends!
I went on the final Leadership summit to the Secret Island at Kualoa Ranch. It was an amazing bonding day, and I really got to know more of my Leadership class. The activities were so fun and complex, it really got us working hard.
This was such an amazing day. I got to spend it was three of my very close friends. In the middle is Marianna Johnson and then Maricella Rodriguez the right. We spent almost the entire day at the beach, from sunrise to sunset. We woke up around 4 am and then drove to Kailua and watched the sunrise and then went to North Shore and spent the day at the beach and watched the sunset.
This is an acai bowl with raspberries, bananas, coconut and honey drizzle. It’s at a place called Haleʻiwa Bowls. Haleʻiwa Bowls is a really good place to get acai bowls and smoothies down on the north shore. It’s a really sweet place for a quick and healthy breakfast. I usually go with my friends and then after we go to the beach. I love coming to this place because it’s in one of favorite places here and when I come I usually get an acai bowl.
Arvo Cafe is a very charming little cafe that serves coffee and unique types of toast. It’s one of my favorite places to eat brunch. Arvo just has a great dynamic feel and I love being there with my friends. In this picture, I went with my good friend Hannah Villiers. I got the Nutella toast with strawberries, bananas, and coconut shavings and a mocha latte.
This a little piece of forestry by Waimea Beach Park. I was with a group of my friends and thought it was the most relaxing place to take a picture. Below the trees is a small pond and the sounds that it makes are so soothing. I loved the way the light shone through the trees and it just made me feel so appreciative that I actually lived here.
This is my best friend Olivia Hill, who is also a military dependent. Olivia moved around this time last year and I miss her so much; she is my favorite person in the entire world. I think it’s just perfect that I met my best friend in my favorite place. Though I am sad to be moving, I know it will make me appreciate my surroundings more.
Sailing is one of the many things that I like to do here. I started sailing for the first time when I lived in Rhode Island, but then stopped when I moved. When I came back I noticed they had a sailing program and I am so glad I joined it. It’s so much fun and it’s beautiful out on the water. It’s something i’m going to miss so much when I leave. This is in the Hickam Harbor and I’m sailing a laser boat.
This sunset is was probably one of the most beautiful ones that I have seen, and it was right in front of my house. I love how normal cotton candy skies are here in Hawaii, and it’s definitely on top of the list of things that I am really going to miss when I leave. I love when I have had a hard day at school or just in general and then I can look at something like this that’s real and really comprehend that I actually live here. It makes me feel so happy and grateful.
This is the mermaid caves in Waianae. This was so much fun for me, it was very adventurous and something I normally would be a little nervous doing. This picture was taken on a disposable camera that got developed. This day was so beautiful and serene. The tricky part was climbing out of them though!

Peaches originating in China, have been produced in Canada since the 1700s, primarily for fresh consumption. Since peaches are being grown in their northernmost limits in Canada, growers take great pains to help their orchards thrive. And that means disease prevention and management. Along with scouting, pruning, cultivation and brush removal, applying the right fungicide at the right time will help keep yield-robbing diseases under control all season.
Alleviating the weed competition during critical crop development can have a significant affect in achieving optimum peach yields. Controlling weeds outside these critical periods can also help reduce the source of weed seeds and increase harvesting efficiencies. A herbicide with a strong residual effect can often last all season, reducing work load and decreasing the trees competition for nutrients and water.
The only thing Alion does is work. Spray it in your peach orchard for season-long control of grassy and broadleaf weeds including glysphosate, traizine and ALS-resistant weeds.
Everyone loves the sweet taste of a fresh peach. Unfortunately, damaging insects like mites, moths, peach tree borers and aphids also find the fruit and tree irresistible. Insect control in peach orchards usually requires treating trees with insecticides with applications accurately timed to be most effective. Knowledge of these insect pests and their life cycles helps in scouting as well as the early diagnosis of a developing pest problem.
Sivanto Prime works fast to target the pests that have the potential to do the most damage to your peach crop including aphids.
Make the move to Movento, the most effective way to protect your peaches from aphids, whiteflies and mealybugs.

A remarkably attractive small hill town, Recanati is close to the heart of many Italians as the birthplace of one the country's greatest poets, Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837).
This dignified place, just inland from the Adriatic Sea, is strung out along the crest of a hill. It was renowned in the 16th and 17th centuries for its commercial fair, one of the most important in the Papal States, and its wide streets and comfortable buildings still bear a mercantile character.
Nowadays, however, it is remembered for its famous son, Leopardi. He passed a hothouse childhood, self-imprisoned in his father's classics-filled library and spent the rest of his life trying to recapture in his pessimistic verse the illusion of happiness, glimpsed fleetingly as a youth in Recanati. Palazzo Leopardi at the southern edge of town, where he was born and brought up, holds memorabilia, manuscripts and his fascinating library. Around every corner, plaques mark spots referred to in his poems.
The museum in Villa Colloredo-Mels, a splendid 18th century villa on the edge of the town centre, holds Recanati's greatest art treasure, a room with four of Lorenzo Lotto's finest pictures, including a most haunting Annunciation packed with almost breathless narrative detail - a high spot in any art-lover's tour of the central Marche.
Recanati was also the home town of the great tenor, Beniamino Gigli and the Museo Gigli in the Palazzo Comunale, or town hall, on central Piazza Leopardi holds a collection of his costumes from some 30 operas, a mock-up of his dressing-room and some of the many presents he received, including a walking stick from Verdi.
Other delights in Recanati include the Cathedral of San Flaviano with its magnificent 17th century wood ceiling and the Teatro Persiani, another of the Marche's unexpectedly grand 19th century theatres.

The justice secretary had admitted this morning that he was giving "further consideration" to the case for public interest after reports over the weekend suggested reasons for the move.
Venables, 27, was ten years old when he murdered toddler James Bulger in 1993. After being released the Ministry of Justice confirmed he was returned to jail following a "breach of licence conditions" on Wednesday.
James' mother Denise Fergus said she had a "right to know" why the recall had taken place.
But this afternoon Mr Straw told the Commons that it would not be in the public interest to make further revelations.
"It is critical that if charges do follow it is possible to hold a fair trial - fair for the defence and fair for the prosecution," he told MPs.
"Our motivation is solely to ensure that serious allegations are properly investigated and that justice is done. No one in this country would want anything other."
Mr Straw's earlier comments echoed home secretary Alan Johnson's suggestion that the public had a "right to know" last week.
"It is better to be cautious. Above all, it is not for ministers to run a criminal trial process," Mr Straw said earlier.
"I think it's pretty well known that my overriding instinct in public life is to give as much information as possible as early as possible - not to sit on things. There has to be a good reason for doing what I'm doing at the moment."
This afternoon he insisted that he and Mr Johnson were in complete agreement on the issue, telling the Commons: "The home secretary and I are in exactly the same place on this."
Venables abducted two-year-old James from a shopping centre in Bootle, Liverpool, with Robert Thompson in February 1993 before they beat him to death and laid his body on a railway track.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Venables was taken back into custody on allegations revolving around indecent images of children.
The Sun yesterday also claimed that Venables had been arrested on suspicion of a serious sexual offence. It has emerged since then that an injunction has been obtained against the paper to prevent it from publishing the specific alleged offences.
Mrs Fergus told ITV1's This Morning on Monday her head was "all over the place" over the developments.
"I do not want to prejudice a trial but I have the right to know," she said.
"I want to know why he, I can't even bring myself to say his name, has been recalled to prison.
"If he [Mr Straw] can't tell me now, then I want to know after any criminal proceedings against him have finished.
"I can't eat again. I have pulled my kids out of school. It has brought it all flooding back."

The fourth chapter in the Purge franchise is now available to own on 4K Ultra, Blu-Ray, DVD and on Demand. The origin story explains how the world began purging on an annual basis, “releasing the beast” in a psychological experiment designed to encourage aggression on one day and keep the peace the rest of the year.
As we know from three previous Purge films, on purge night all crime, including murder is legal. When the sirens blare, citizens have twelve hours to release their inner demons on anyone they choose. They can settle an old grudge. We have seen jealous neighbors purge. Some people go after the ones who hurt their family members. Some people are just crazy. Others are evil. Many people just want to make it through the night alive, unharmed.
For the very first purge, the residents of Staten Island are the test subjects. If they agree to stay home and be present for the event they will receive $5,000. Those who choose to participate beyond that will receive additional compensation. The citizens are implanted with tracking devices and are asked to wear glowing contact lenses that will records their activities.
Dr. Updale (Marisa Tomei) is the sociologist who conceived of the experiment. She does not work for the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA), the group that seems to now be in charge of the country. The NFFA claims to have nothing but the needs of the community at heart, but local activist Nya (Lex Scott Davis) protests and encourages her fellow citizens not to participate. She is not alone in her belief that the NFFA is trying to weed out the lower class, like herself and her brother Isaiah (Joivan Wade), who she supports.
The projects they live in will become the test case. The NFFA and the nation are watching to see if enough regular citizens participate in the experimental Purge. Local gangbanger Dmitri (Y’Lan Noel) explains that they are good people. They will get crazy and rob and loot but there won’t be much killing because that takes an evil heart. Will the NFFA step in to stack the deck as the nation watches the experiment play out?
I believe that if you like one Purge movie you like them all. They are all pretty much the same idea and I happen to like it. It’s certainly not for everyone. First of all, violence better not bother you. Although, I saw this in the theater and was sad for humanity when a couple brought a three-year-old into the theater. These films are not for children and just because they don’t understand what’s going on doesn’t mean it’s okay for kids to watch this kind of thing. That’s how you make future serial killer people!
The films do make you think about what life would be like if the purge was a real thing. Would your boss be nicer to you? Would people cut each other off less in traffic? Would there be any homeless people or would they all disappear on the first purge night? It’s one thing to hate people but who would really take people out. More importantly, who would take you out? Maybe it’s someone closer to you than you think. This film could also give you a lot to think about. The psychological ramifications of living in a society like this are endless. It also works as a thriller/horror flick. The film is well cast with solid performances from primary and supporting roles. The film is Directed by Gerard McMurray, who also directed Burning Sands.
The First Purge 4K Ultra is presented in a widescreen 2.39:1 ratio. The purging happens at night, which is where you’re glad you have a 4K disc. Inside an abandoned building, in the darkest conditions, you don’t strain to make out characters or their surroundings. The blue and red contact lenses pop with a brighter color than you’ll see in the Blu-ray, which still looks very good. When Isaiah stumbles into an alley of teddy bears, the textures and detail are more apparent in UHD.
Purging involves lots of gunfire and the DTS: X Master Audio presentation holds up well. The different types of weapons ring true. Explosions will rock your living room if you let them and crank up the volume. Dialogue is spoken, yelled and whispered but doesn’t require you to adjust volume. It is intelligible throughout the film. Music is well place and prioritized. With drone and rockets this is a full and immersive audio experience.
Deleted Scene (1:48) – A scene where ‘Skeletor’ gets his.
A Radical Experiment (4:57) – Cast and filmmakers discuss the purge experiment and its relevance and ramifications in society.
Bringing the Chaos (1:25) – A look at the increased action and intensity in this installment of the purge franchise with bigger battles and a larger scope.
The Masks of the First Purge (1:23) – A very brief featurette focused on some of the masks that bring new kinds of terror to the film, the creepiest being the teeth mask.
The First Purge was a question I thought needed to be answered: How did everyone agree to start killing each other once a year? As with every semi-successful movie, they will probably keep making far too many of these films. Four might be too many already. I like these films a lot, but we don’t need to see Purging at nursing homes, purging at day care. I feel like the point has been made that people are messed up and do messed up things to each other. If you are at all interested in the other films, you should take the time to see this one and see how and why it all started. The 4K UHD has good technical merits but is light on the extras. Overall, still a good release. For such a dark film (lighting and mood) a UHD purchase is not a bad choice. Recommended.

As a travel destination, Cabo San Lucas has much to recommend it. If you’re in the mood to party, this place is paradise, with plenty of cool bars and clubs to choose from, but it also offers some beautiful beaches, with spectacular rock formations, great surfing and coral reefs. Add to that excellent restaurants, whale watching and interesting little towns to visit just a short drive away, and you can see why the place has become so popular. If all this sounds like your cup of tea, ME Cabo is the ideal luxury base from which to enjoy it. Several airlines, including British Airways and Delta Airlines, offer connecting flights from London Heathrow to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. ME Cabo is located about a forty minute drive from the airport.
Part of Melia Hotels International, one of the largest hotel companies in the world, ME by Melia operates several contemporary resorts and urban hotels across the globe in destinations including London, Miami, Madrid, Ibiza and more. ME hotels are designed with the modern traveller in mind.
Me Cabo is an award winning lifestyle resort ideally located on the only swimmable beach (Playa El Medano) in Los Cabos, and is just a short walk from the marina as well as bars, shops and restaurants. It boasts stunning views of Land’s End and is close to some must see beauty spots including El Arco and Lover’s Beach. The main attraction of this hotel is its Blue Marlin Ibiza Beach Club and Dare Bar, offering guests relaxing weekdays and high energy weekends with a fun, party atmosphere.
All rooms are light and airy and contemporary in design with fresh, simple décor. Air conditioning is standard throughout and all rooms have flat screen TVs with satellite channels and a laptop size safe. Guests will benefit from king size beds or two double beds with 300 thread count bedding, a fully stocked mini bar and 24 hour room service. Bathrooms boast rain showers, Algotherm amenities and bathrobes and slippers. Room Tips – Ask for an ocean front room for the best view, and a higher floor, furthest from the pool for the most peace and quiet.
Guests can enjoy the Modern Mediterranean cuisine at Blue Marlin Ibiza restaurant, open every evening, or salads, sushi and more at The Deck, located right by the water. The Deck is open from 9.30 till 6.30 daily, but also offers the option of booking a private dinner under the stars – very romantic! When it comes to bars, you have several choices. Dare Bar boasts cool décor and music, while the Wet Bar is definitely the place to be for pool parties. The Main Bar offers a place to chill out during the day, with stunning ocean views.
A stunning two level pool oasis and deck are the highlight of this hotel, especially with their beautiful views of the ocean and Land’s End. Relax in a shaded poolside bed and listen to the DJs throughout the long sunny days, and enjoy pool parties on Fridays and Saturdays. If all that partying leaves you feeling in need of a little pick me up, head to the YHI spa where you will find a sauna, steam bath, two hydro massages and a gym.
ME Cabo has a relaxed and laidback vibe, but with the beach club on site, weekend parties and resident DJs, it’s probably best suited to younger travellers or those looking to enjoy more of a party atmosphere, rather than families travelling with young children.
ME Cabo is the perfect luxury resort for those looking for a fun break away in the sun.

I feel really lucky to have come across this play - it was recommended to me by one of the cast members, Elizabeth Ollier - and it immediately struck me as a powerful and urgent play. But the thing that persuaded me was how moving it was; it brought tears to my eyes as I read it.
“Understanding will change how you feel. It always does.
And those changes are not even guaranteed to be positive.
As director, I see my role simply as the audience’s representative: to present to the cast and crew how it looks through the eyes of the audience, what works, what doesn’t. And in the case of this play, my role is minimal. The play is so powerful and I’m lucky to have a cast so strong that I mostly just sit there enjoying their performances. I have no doubt that anyone who sees this production will remember it for a very long time. It is hard to leave unaffected by it.
"The Long Road was one of the best Pro-Am shows I've seen. Taking on the subject matter was never going to be without risk but thanks to the excellent performances and the way you framed and "shot" the the production made it excellent - don't change a thing.
It was very evident the cast all put a huge amount of themselves into their roles. Anything less wouldn't have worked. A lot of actors would shy away from that (I know one myself!). And that's what made it such a compelling, tough but rewarding 90 minutes.Huge respect and thanks to all.
As for the Q&A - this really added something relevant and made it feel an important night out. I love a robust debate with different but understandable views. It's what makes us human.
"I came to see The Long Road on Saturday night and would like to send a big thank you to the St Michael's Players team for making the choice to present this particular piece. The subject matter is so important and the decision to extend the evening with a Q & A session every night was a stroke of genius, allowing for the broader discussion of the issues raised that comes with doing this in a group. I felt very privileged to hear Vi Donovan's story.

Haji Babar Naseer Sheikh was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) soon after earning his bachelor’s degree. His worsening neurological symptoms and muscular dystrophy left the young Pakistani man unable to speak and move.
But Babar couldn’t find the support he needed in his own country, so he decided to start a non-governmental organization (NGO). The Bin Adam Foundation is committed to help other patients by spreading awareness of FA.
Since then, Babar has registered 90 patients throughout Pakistan. He has asked the government and philanthropists to support his NGO, and hopes other patients come forward and help him spread awareness about FA.
Babar said that even though some doctors in the United States were conducting research on him, he couldn’t proceed due to lack of funds. “Unfortunately, we don’t have any ataxia specialist here in Pakistan, but should any doctor wish to conduct research on the disease, I am ready to extend all possible support,” he added.
The Bin Adam Foundation currently runs several projects. These include efforts to establish a genetics lab for all types of diagnosis, especially FA; the Bin Adam Special Education (BASE) initiative for special children, and a computer academy for women.

Straight forward, common sense (or is it?) talk on marketing.
I liked this viral campaign implemented in Belgium and the Netherlands by Opel (European GM division).
It’s from MarketingSherpa. Read the MarketingSherpa study here.
It integrated a telemarketing call into the experience, that should happen, if I understand the program correctly, while the viewer is experiencing the video.
That’s both impressive and impactful.
Based on the study, it was also wildly successful and led to much viral buzz, stemming from the group that had opted in. Which, btw, makes sense, as those people are likely to be your brand advocates.
It’s good to see GM making some smart moves somewhere in the world!
New Media Eliminates PR for Small Businesses?
As a guy with the curse of “ideation*” — a strength (?) of mine that causes me to constantly be thinking of new company ideas, niches in which to provide new products, or wild ideas for changing the world – I like what the article is saying – mostly because it confirms what I’ve been thinking.
Combining a number of inexpensive online techniques can turn the most simple of small businesses into players.
One example is a taxi company in Minneapolis. By a simple online presence and some AdWords from Google, they owner went from Welfare to a booming business.
Another small fashion designer used her blog to create buzz and increase sales dramatically (read the article to find out how dramatically).
You’ve got to do it well – and take your time to actually build community in a patient, methodical manner. The article makes some excellent points on blogging and how NOT to do it. How to begin by simply listening to the community you want to enter, then slowly add comments and eventually contact other bloggers directly. You cannot simply start dropping your product/service name in comments out of the blue and expect the world to start paying attention to you. Take some time, participate in the discussion, and build your reputation.
I posted the other day about the differences between my blog and Charlotte’s Web – one of the big differences is that Charlotte has taken the time to read others’ blogs, comment thoughtfully on others’ blogs, and link to them. My blog here has NOT done that. I haven’t participated. I’ve taken a “half-baked” approach to this.
So, do as I say, not as I do. In this case, it will help you!
* Ideation is one of about 34 general strengths that Marcus Buckingham outlines in his book Now Discover Your Strengths. I highly recommend you read this book, take the online test, etc. to learn more about what makes you tick and where you might better place your energy. I call it a curse above because I birth tons of ideas but then get distracted with new ideas before I can implement the first ideas. I love the way Nova continually exemplifies this problem as it relates to her fiction writing at distraction no. 99.

Most people just believe that they are a smoker, it�s who they are, and that�s it! They don't think about the fact that in reality they actually smoke for a reason and usually there are positive reasons.
So let's think about it...Why do you really smoke?
"Smoking relaxes me" - By inhaling toxic substances?
"It gets me away from the stress of the office� - Even though the stress is still there when we return!!!
"I just get bored and it gives me something to do" - For the 2 minutes it takes me to have a cigarette!
"I don't want to put on weight"
...and there are lots more reasons given as to why some people think smoking is a good idea.
Taking all this into account, you can see how many people find giving up smoking, which gives them so much, such a hard thing to do with willpower alone.
If you were consciously in control of your smoking behaviour I am sure you would be able to quit smoking by yourself easily right?
However if you cannot quit by yourself it must mean your unconscious mind is running the smoking habit.
If you do anything 10 times a day for �x� amount of weeks, months and years your body is designed to run it for you automatically. That�s how walking, driving etc have become second nature to us.
Smoking is just a behavioural habit, the nicotine itself is not that addictive. That is why a lot of people who smoke, find themselves smoking whilst doing certain activities, such as getting in the car, or with a cup of coffee. Some people may try and give up using nicotine patches, yet even though they are still getting nicotine into their bloodstream, they find themselves returning to cigarettes. Even hardened 30-a-day smokers can manage to fly 24hour flights without even thinking about a cigarette, so how can they be addicted to nicotine? They can�t! But at a Neurological level our minds are have been conditioned, have developed those powerful associations to be a smoker.
But guess what? It does not have to be that way - honest. You can work with us and finally break free of the chains of smoking without gaining weight, being able to deal with stress, boredom and all the other reasons you've smoked for.
Do you want to know what's in that Cigarette? Oh you do, well Click Hereclick here!

IT was symptomatic of York City’s first-half performance at Billingham Synthonia that, 17 minutes in, goalkeeper Michael Ingham yelled with increasing frustration at his outfield players to “keep the ball”.
The possession football that has sometimes been a pleasing feature of the Minstermen’s pre-season was lacking on Saturday, as passes went astray, not helped by at times lacklustre movement.
The midfield triumvirate of Patrick McLaughlin, fit-again Scott Kerr and Michael Potts struggled to find space or get the ball moving with accuracy or pace, the wide forwards were largely on the periphery and Jason Walker up top, usually a clever player with the ball, on occasions cut a discomfited figure.
The defence was also sliced open a few times in that first period, especially in the gaps between right-back Daniel Parslow and centre-back David McGurk, and it all gave assistant-boss Darron Gee – standing in for manager Gary Mills, who was resting up at home – food for thought.
But for an equaliser bang on half-time by Matty Blair, who had earlier missed a sitter, City would have gone in at half-time a goal down following Danny Earl’s peach of a strike on 26 minutes, which gave the Northern League side a deserved lead.
The second half was much better for York, with the ball moved quicker and the players, bolstered by timely substitutions, showing greater pace and purpose, but it did not fashion a decisive goal, Walker fluffing the best chance.
Earl had had a great opportunity to give Billingham the lead in only the fourth minute as he was sent away down the inside left, only to delay the shot enough for Chris Smith to cover across and block with a sliding challenge.
His goal, though, was a beauty, as Chay Liddle’s pass again sent him clear down the same channel and this time he took it early, volleying over Ingham from 25 yards.
The City goalkeeper was also called into action twice by burly but skilful striker Nathan Jameson in that first half, once to stop a drive from the left corner of the box at his near post – the ball nearly squirmed under him – and later to catch a cheeky chip from a similar distance. A second goal had also looked afoot when Jameson broke away but his cross was scrambled clear.
At the other end, City created little against a side four divisions below them in the non-League pyramid – though they should have levelled before they did.
When they finally pierced the hosts’ defence, Walker crossed from the right for Blair to tap in – only he skewed the ball high and wide.
Blair made amends for that miss when he was again in the right place on the stroke of half-time as a McLaughlin free-kick from the left was headed back across goal by McGurk with Blair left in acres of space to knock the ball home.
An improved City had the bulk of possession and territory after the break, but their best chance of a winner was botched by Walker, whose previous deadliness in front of goal deserted him.
Paul Musselwhite, who replaced Ingham during the interval, was called into action only once to gather Jameson’s mis-hit volley.
At the other end, Potts’ 25-yarder was easy for home goalkeeper Josh Moody, Walker chipped Moody but also the bar, and Parslow wasted a free header from a corner by substitute Ashley Chambers, who had provided the team with its biggest injection of much-needed pace and purpose going forward, albeit against a tiring defence.
Parslow’s replacement at right-back, Lanre Oyebanjo, then created Walker’s glorious chance of a winner, on 77 minutes. The substitute, with his first touch, curled in a pinpoint cross but the former Luton forward glaringly headed wide from six yards.
Walker soon turned provider but Jamal Fyfield’s close-range effort was well blocked by Moody, and thereafter open spaces and opportunities to attack went to waste.
Synthonia: Josh Moody, Curtis Collintine, Dan McWilliams (Matty Osmond 45), Robbie Bettson, Phil Horsman, Kieran Edwards (Sean Joseph 75), Michael Cater (Glenn Donaldson 65), David Hillerby (Richie Storr 66), Danny Earl (Indie Singh 75), Nathan Jameson, Chay Liddle.
City: Michael Ingham (Paul Musselwhite 45), Chris Smith, David McGurk, Daniel Parslow (Lanre Oyebanjo), Scott Kerr, Jason Walker, Liam Henderson (Adriano Moké), Michael Potts (James Meredith 70), Jamal Fyfield, Matty Blair (Ashley Chambers 59), Patrick McLaughlin (Andre Boucaud 70).

This question / answer is not quite good enough to have a positive vote total, but does not deserve a negative vote total.
Therefore, I will vote it back up so that its vote total is zero out of fairness.
This is quite a minor gripe, but I would appreciate if people did not do this. Since downvoting only gives -2 reputation while upvoting gives +5 (questions) or +10 (answers), the net result is +3 or +8 reputation for the user. This behavior is not "fair": it incentivizes borderline content and disincentivizes minor downvotes.
In other words, please only upvote such things from -1 to 0 if you would have upvoted them from 0 to 1.
I have done this a few times for some first questions, and I don't do this out of "fairness", it is my assessment whether this first post deserves standing at $-1$ in my opinion. And I can guarantee you that "-1" has quite a different psychological impact on a new poster than "0" and a comment.
I don't see how one or two +3s for the very first post of a new user is a problem or will lead to more borderline content. It is in fact quite unlikely that a new user understands how they got +3.
I also sometimes happen to upvote first and non-first posts who stand at -1 because I just want to upvote.
I disagree that voting "should" be independent of other votes, but this may be a topic for a different thread and "should" should be defined first, although I probably disagree for most definitions.
Edited to add: The example shows that the votes of the people who "only vote on the content" also depend on prior votes. Since everything is sorted by vote, it is wrong to pretend that there are any "independent" votes.
I think that it is not the job of any particular user to decide what is the right total vote for a question, it should be decided by the community as a whole, the total vote should be an indicator of what a user reading the question thinks about the question on average and this is a signal to other users.
The counter-voting biases the average towards the opinion of those who are counter-voting, and makes the signaling to other users about the quality of the question less useful.
I think users should vote independent of the total vote a question has at the any time and the votes of other users and solely base their votes on the quality of the question/answer in their opinion.
Counter-voting is not just voting about the question but it is voting about the votes and opinions of other users about the question and deprives other users from their rights to their votes. Would you like it if other users used their votes to counter-vote not because they think the quality of the question deserves their vote but just to cancel your vote?
I don't see any problem at all.
I think the appropriate comparison (for a question) is between net +3 (a downvote and an upvote) vs. 0 (no vote either way). If you explain the downvote (you do that, right?), the OP will have something to learn.
This is not about 10 downvotes followed by 10 upvotes = net +30...that does seem wrong. But just the smidgen of +3 (if that is all it ever amounts to), is not really enough to care about.
If upvotes and downvotes were more psychologically similar, then they'd be designed to be more equitable in value (or the other way around).
I stumbled across a related question and commentary at meta.SO about sympathy voting. The end result is that (with numbers computed on those sites)...well the opinions go both ways even with objective numbers.
And here's a another relevant meta.SO thread about preventing pity voting. Mostly contra.
Does your decision to upvote/downvote depend on the current score?
Why reputation is not changed w.r.t Net votes?

A new campaign to help tackle electoral fraud ahead of May’s local elections has been launched by Derby City Council, in partnership with the Electoral Commission and Crimestoppers, the independent crime reporting charity.
Whether it happens through intimidation, bribery or by someone impersonating someone else – the impact of electoral fraud on voters can be significant and can take away their right to vote as they want.
This new campaign, ‘Your vote is yours alone’, raises awareness of what constitutes unacceptable pressure to influence whether or how someone casts their vote.
Ahead of local elections across the city, Derby City Council will be running a social media campaign to empower electors not to become a victim of electoral fraud.
Anyone trying to rig the outcome, or unduly or illegally influence a ballot, is undermining the public’s trust in our democracy. The UK’s tradition of free and fair elections deserves protecting.
Anyone who thinks they have witnessed electoral fraud can call the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit visit the Crimestoppers website for more information.
The deadline to register to vote for the May local elections in Derby is Tuesday 17th April.

From the check-in process until we checked out, our stay was perfect. The extremely welcoming front desk clerk was able to look into a billing question with a friendly, efficient ease and correct it. She also inquired as to where we parked and upon learning we found street parking she asked what our car looked like just in case she passed it and noticed we were in a questionable spot, she would let us know – nice touch!
The room itself was small and clean with an updated bathroom and nice toiletries. The outside pool area was a nice place to relax after a morning of biking and seeing the sights.
Location-wise it’s perfectly situated if you don’t mind a little walk. It’s far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Duval Street that you are not up all night with noise from partiers but it’s close enough that you can walk anywhere you’d like to go (or rent bikes for an even quicker way around town – Red Door on Caroline Street was reasonable and a 5 minute walk from the hotel).
Check-out was also quick and friendly, allowing us to leave our luggage while we still enjoyed the sights of Key West before leaving.
I would definitely return again and recommend this hotel to friends and family traveling to Key West.

Josh Grossberg, McCann NY Group Creative Director, traveled to Hong Kong to attend and share insights at MarketingPulse, an integrated branding and marketing conference for global marketers, brands, agencies, media and innovation professionals. The goal of the conference is to gather and share the latest marketing trends, exchange best marketing practices and explore new collaborations.
Josh spoke during session 3 of the conference and highlighted two trends that are impacting advertising today: first is the fragmentation ofmedia; and second is the change in the social contract. There are many ways to reach audiences in today’s fragmented media world in which consumers expect their ad content to be relevant and meaningful. As a result, there is an even greater need for innovation in advertising.
Josh presented two very different case studies to showcase McCann’s approach to innovation: The Field Trip to Mars for Lockheed Martin and Fearless Girl for State Street Global Advisors.
For the Lockheed Martin campaign, the goal was to take back the conversation around space by creating an experience and educational program for the generation that will actually be the first to go to Mars: schoolkids. The result was the first-ever group VR experience in which the windows of a seemingly ordinary school bus transformed to take riders on a tour of the Martian surface. Cutting-edge technology created a “1:1 relationship” between Earth and Mars, so, when the bus turned, the landscape turned, which made the kids truly feel like they were traversing the Red Planet.
On the other side of the innovation spectrum sits Fearless Girl, the inspirational bronze statue that McCann unveiled in NYC’s Financial District on the eve of 2017 International Women’s Day. “Fearless Girl demonstrates how there is no digital divide anymore,” said Josh. “With all the technology people are using today, it was pretty amazing that a defining campaign over the last few years is a statue.”Fearless Girl sparked a cultural dialogue and became an international sensation overnight, thanks to technology. People far and wide joined the conversation over social media. “Technology isn’t only something we deploy, it is also a part of the landscape we use to our benefit,” said Josh.
