Hip Hop is a huge subject on its own right. So with all the stereotypes it's not strange to hear someone saying that he thinks Hip Hop fashion is all about wearing baggy pants, oversized tees and shiny accessorizes, and “Bling”. When you hear the word “Hip Hop” what immediately comes to mind?įor many people negative things like this go hand-in-hand with the hip hop lifestyle. Below, are all the major players to know now and forever.This is a guest post from Alden Tan – He knows a lot more about Hip Hop Style than me and I really liked his unique perspective on men's style! – Antonio And no matter how many times critics have sounded the death knell, the style, as with those lines down Spring Street, has grown every year. Before going further, it bears repeating: Streetwear is a force unlike any other. there are brands in Japan and Eastern Europe that also attract equal fanfare and hold the same kind of respect. And it’s also not just contained in the U.S. To wit: Streetwear tailoring and leather goods are now a thing. (Hell, Supreme has become a luxury conglomerate.) It has come to characterize a vibe and look, regardless of price. Today, streetwear could be made by a luxury conglomerate. It’s a practice that has made a brand like Supreme a billion-dollar company. Wearing an item showed others in the know that you won you were able to get your hands on something elusive that many of your peers also coveted. The quantities produced were so limited, thus instigating demand and, as a result, hype around all their drops. The genius in streetwear, however, is how collections and particularly covetable grails were released. Basically, they were things that dudes just wanted to wear all day. The silhouettes were long and loose, and the styles largely consisted of affordable graphic tees, hoodies, bucket hats, caps, sneakers, and certain types of denim. It largely centered around skateboarding culture, particularly in California, and urban environments across the U.S. Streetwear is an industry term that was used to describe clothes that were non-designer and worn everyday on the, you guessed it, streets. The smiles on their faces and pep in their step as they walk out with bags and bags of merch, even as they're sweating buckets, is telling of the trust they have placed on these labels. These are the Supreme collectors the Aimé Leon Dore diehards the devotees of Stüssy, new and old or all of the above. For all these patient peeps, what is being offered is worth braving the elements. Kith and Bape stores experience similar turnouts. Both times, the crowd was eager, but seemingly cool-headed as they steadily made their way toward the entrance. The last time I had witnessed such fervor over fashion was a year prior on a very chilly winter morning on Lafayette Street, Supreme’s old haunt. The literal hotspot was the new location of Supreme, and the occasion was a drop of its latest brand collaboration. A massive crowd was on queue from the entrance at the Germania Bank Building to Spring Street and around Elizabeth Street. While walking just a little faster, in the hopes of getting into a climate controlled environment much quicker, I saw a line so far-reaching that my jaw dropped. I decided to suffer through it, thinking how I could spend the extra cash on pork buns instead. The air was moist and the sun so bright that I contemplated hopping in a taxi for what is normally a 10-minute walk. It was a sweltering day in summer 2019, when I was taking a stroll down Bowery around noon, on my way to get dim-sum and drunken chicken in Chinatown. Streetwear is a force unlike any other, and I saw its influence firsthand.

Last, but certainly not least, Dierks Bentley’s “Come a Little Closer” shows emotion and actually makes you want to go have sex, whereas Luke Bryan’s “Strip it Down” just made me bored, distracted, and eventually disgusted and ready to rant about it. Then again, if they are getting back to the way it was on an old back road with an old school beat, then hooking up with her by a river is probably what he is going for here. In fact, love is never mentioned, at least not in that context the song simply says, “We both know that we lost it somehow, let’s get it found, strip it down, down, down.” The word “Love” is mentioned once in the bridge, with the line, “I just wanna love you so bad, baby.” So again, it sounds like he is just desperate to hook up with her. “I feel like layin’ you down on a bed of sweet surrender where we can work it all out,” “I wanna touch you like a cleansing rain.” and “I feel like lettin’ go of everything that stands between us and the love we used to know.” Luke does say, “Let me run my fingers down your back” but more often we find lines about the scenery, like the “white cotton sheets,” “feel my belt turn loose from these old blue jeans,” and this completely unnecessary “I wanna drop this cell phone out, Let it shatter on the ground.” It’s trying to be romantic, but it comes off like he is in a hurry to have sex rather than desperate to get back the love they lost. Also, Dierks Bentley talked much more about the girl. I assume the “old school beat” is the bro country sound before this new r&b/pop/metro-politan disease infected the genre…irony at its finest. Like I already said, this is pop and r&b, with the only reference to country being the comment about getting back to the way things were “When it was an old back road and an old school beat, Cowboy boots by your little bare feet.” Dirt roads get an obligatory mention even when the song is not bro country. So let’s compare the two.ĭierks’s is country with some rock. It’s about Luke wanting to reconnect with an old love by “stripping it down.” Immediately, Dierks Bentley’s “Come a Little Closer” comes to mind, as this is basically the premise of that song as well. I mean shit, you can’t get away from this guy.īut since SCM took care of that, let’s discuss the song itself. But I’ll tell you this: If I was looking to blow off a little steam and hook up for the night, or was feeling a little lonely and wanted to go looking for love, the last thing I would want to see is the country music Gomer Pyle on there shilling his stupid video. It’s only fair to mention that officially, Tinder is not meant to be exclusively about setting up sex rendezvous. Enter “Strip it Down,” the r&b/pop copy of Jason Aldean’s hit “Burnin’ it Down.” Incidentally, Luke released this lyric video “exclusively” on Tinder, and I won’t go into a rant about how sleazy this is, but do yourself a favor and go read Trigger’s own rant on SCM I didn’t think I could possibly hate anything Luke produced worse than “Kick the Dust Up,” but then I have underestimated these things before. It became Bryan’s thirteenth number one single.Luke Bryan has released a second song from his upcoming album Kill the Lights–and it actually is not a copy of “That’s my Kind of Night” or “Kick the Dust Up.” Country Exclusive didn’t exist when the atrocity that is “Kick the Dust Up” came out, so you were saved the rant, but let me say that that “song” was one of the driving factors behind this blog. The song was written by Ashley Gorley, Dallas Davidson, and Chris DeStefano. Country music star Luke Bryan‘s “Kick the Dust Up” was released on as the lead single to his fifth studio album, Kill the Lights. As many as 20 million people may lose employer-sponsored coverage by 2019, according to estimates. One of the aims of Obama’s health care overhaul is to allow corporations to scrap their employee health care programs and force workers to purchase private insurance on the market. Behind the administration’s health care “reform” is a bipartisan effort to reduce costs for corporations and the government by restricting medical tests, procedures and drugs, and rationing care-with the inevitable consequence of eroding the health and lifespan of large parts of the population. The decline in health care spending and doctor visits will be welcome news to the Obama administration, which has been working for precisely such an outcome. The aim is to establish a class-based health care system in which the vast majority of the population receives bare-bones care, while the rich have access to the best coverage money can buy. This shocking decline is a product not simply of abstract economic forces, but a deliberate policy carried out by the corporations and both big business parties. For white women with less than a high school education, life expectancy fell from 78 to 74 years, and for men in this category from 70.5 to 67.5. A study released last month in the journal Health Affairs found that life expectancy for the poorest sections of the working class fell sharply between 19. The decline in access to health care for millions of people has a predictable consequence: reduced life expectancy. The IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics reported earlier this year that doctor visits fell 4.7 percent in 2011 compared to 2010, and the number of prescriptions issued fell by 1.1 percent. These figures confirm earlier reports of falling doctor visits, fewer prescriptions and stagnant health care spending-a trend that accelerated in 20, years not covered by the Census report. “It’s a widespread decline in the use of medical services,” commented the chief of the Census Bureau’s health and disability statistics branch. In the United States, losing one’s job generally means losing one’s health insurance, and uninsured people are much less likely to visit a doctor.Īt the same time, insurance companies have been raising premiums and co-payments, making doctor visits a major expense even for those who have insurance. Millions of people have lost their jobs over the past decade, particularly since the onset of the global crisis in 2008. The economic situation is a major factor in this decline. The report is the latest evidence of a sharp decline in access to health care for millions of Americans. *Based on a psychiatric evaluation performed by a physician or other qualified mental health care professional with hospital admission authority.The US Census Bureau reported this week that between 20, the average number of doctor visits by individuals aged 18 to 64 fell by nearly 20 percent, from 4.8 visits to 3.9 visits. Admissions resulting from a psychiatric emergency should be reported to the regional contractor within 24 hours of admission or the next business day after admission but must be reported within 72 hours of the admission.Pre-authorization is not required for emergency department care.When the patient is at immediate risk of serious harm to self or others as a result of mental disorder and requires immediate continuous skilled observation at the acute level of care.* Manifests painful symptoms requiring immediate response to alleviate sufferingĪ sudden unexpected medical complication which puts the mother or baby at risk.The sudden and unexpected onset of a medical condition or the acute exacerbation of a chronic condition that is: See the chart below for more information. Also, be sure to follow up with your PCM for a referral for all specialty care Specialized medical/surgical diagnosis, treatment, or services a primary care provider isn’t qualified to provide. If you're enrolled in a TRICARE Prime plan, contact your primary care manager within 24 hours or the next business day after you receive emergency care. Urgent care clinics offer quick walk-in services without an appointment, but these facilities are not considered to be "emergency rooms." If you go to an urgent care clinic, make sure you follow your plan's rules for getting urgent care.

Emergency care means care for an illness or injury that threatens your life, limb, sight, or safety. Moreover, in the 18th century, today’s Suriname and Guyana also became prominent markets from where the Dutch bought slaves. The study also highlighted that the Dutch role in the transatlantic slave trade involved exploiting about 550,000-600,000 Africans. Through the Dutch West India Company (WIC), the Dutch Empire began colonising large parts of land in South America and the Caribbean, and bought slaves from Africa to work on the sugar, cotton and coffee plantations of these lands.Īccording to a study by Leiden University, “between 16, the Dutch operated from some 10 fortresses along the Gold Coast (now Ghana), from which slaves were shipped across the Atlantic”. The Netherlands’ involvement in slavery began in the 17th century when the transatlantic slave trade was already being carried out by other former European colonial powers like Spain and Portugal. While this apology is the first step, the government should do more,” he added. “I’ve been to Suriname myself and I’ve seen how the Black community, especially the Creole people who are descendants of Dutch slavery, still suffer from the past. “Will the government invest in the countries they stole money from? What are their plans to support all the descendants of former slaves who are still struggling?” de Bie, who is based in Amsterdam and works part-time at the Anne Frank House, asked. “While this acknowledgement is also a form of investigation to understand what exactly happened in the past, it is also important to question what the next step looking into the future will be,” he said. Basically, everything that the Netherlands stole from the former colonies, especially Suriname, they carried out through slavery,” Colin de Bie, 27, with Dutch and Surinamese roots, told Al Jazeera. “All of this definitely gives a form of acknowledgement that finally the country, which is still a democratic monarchy, is ready to talk about the past. Johan Roozer, chairman of the Surinamese National Commemoration of Slavery Remembrance Committee told reporters last week that Rutte probably wanted to stick to this date because of the “changing political situation” in the Netherlands, with far-right Dutch political parties against the apology.Īccording to local media reports, the government also plans to announce a 200 million-euro ($212.8m) fund to promote more awareness about the Netherlands’ role in slavery and another 27 million euros ($28.7m) to open a slavery museum. Johan Roozer of the Suriname National Commemoration of Slavery Remembrance Committee speaks to reporters in The Hague They would prefer the apology to be issued on J– a day which marks the 150th anniversary of the Netherlands abolishing slavery in its former colonies.īut Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told reporters in the Hague last week that a “significant moment” on this issue will take place on December 19. The formal apology is set to be issued on December 19 and is expected to redress how the Netherlands exploited more than 600,000 people who worked as slaves in its former colonies.īut groups from former Dutch colonies like Suriname in South America have criticised the Dutch government’s whimsical timing in issuing this apology, highlighting that they were not consulted about this date and also felt the decision was made in a haphazard and hurried manner. In an effort to come to terms with its colonial past, the Dutch government is expected to apologise for the Netherlands’ role in 250 years of slavery. It means DaisyDisk can help you revive space that other cleaning apps do not even bother about. For example, on top of showing storage space consumption, the cleaning app also points out free and purgeable space. Then, once you review everything, you can delete everything in a single click.Ĭompared to the other space analyzer tools we have tested, DaisyDisk is pretty intelligent. So, there is a collection drawer to which you can add contents. But the good part is that DaisyDisk will warn you if you are about to delete something important to the system.ĭaisyDisk also understands that you may have to remove files/folders from different parts of the file system. You can also use the built-in QuickLook preview to see what you might want to get rid of (you can also reveal the files/folders in Finder to take a closer look). It displays files in a pinwheel-shaped disk map, letting you quickly locate and clean up large files. Compared to the Storage Settings utility, DaisyDisk presents things more clearly.ĭaisyDisk is a beautiful yet powerful disk space analyzer that scans the drives on your Mac and gives you a visual overview of what’s eating up space on your Mac. But it works better when you want to know why you have insufficient storage on your Mac. It works great when you want to free up space on your Mac. Best for quick cleanup: DaisyDiskĭaisyDisk is our first recommendation if you need an app to clean your Mac quickly. Now that you know why a dedicated Mac cleaner makes a difference, let’s explore the best options you have out there. These apps are designed not to cause system-level issues while removing junk files, unwanted apps, residual files, etc. This is where dedicated Mac cleaner apps enter the stage. And we never recommend messing with the macOS system files. So, if you were to rely on macOS alone, you would have to remove system junk manually.Īs you can guess, it is hectic and unsafe for most people. The Optimize Storage setting does not do anything about removing junk/residual files from your Mac. It can also help you optimize your iCloud storage space.īut the fun ends there. This utility makes it easy to understand what takes up your Mac’s storage space and helps you remove bulky elements. You can open it by going to System Preferences > General > Storage. If you have a Mac running macOS Sierra or later, you can find a utility named Optimize Storage. However, every Mac ships with a utility to help you manage storage. You may already know that macOS does not have a built-in cleaning utility. Better than paying and getting a portable SSD/HDD or iCloud upgrades.Better data safety to identify safe-to-delete files than the unlucky users who remove the valuable system data.Do regular surveillance to check the Mac performance and detect the possible troubles in advance.Increase process effectiveness and detect a few more time more problematic aspects of your computer than the most observant person.Save your time than performing a hand-operated Mac cleanup.The right Mac cleaners rectify that can reclaim storage and get it working properly again. Instead, you need a quick and easy way to deal with everything. Though you may rummage through the system folders and try to delete the files manually, but that is unsafe and inefficient. Mac cleaners are simply software applications which allow users to delete the system clutter, create more free storage space and speed up the performance on Mac. RELATED: Top System Monitor Apps to Check Your Mac’s Performance What is Mac cleaner appīefore you can dive into choosing the best cleaning apps for Apple users, you’ll first need a basic understanding of what this software can do. In this article we’ll walk you through the essentials - and even some great third party digital Mac cleaner apps - to clean up invisible clutter and tune up your MacBook, iMac, or Mac Pro beyond its limits. Macs might be the sports cars of the IT business, but just like any car, they need proper cleanup and maintenance to keep running better. So, Macs don’t ever slow down, don’t ever crash, and sure as rain don’t ever run out of space. It has a smooth user interface, a smoother integration and most importantly the smoothest workflow that can tackle a lot of workload. Mac devices are normally great, you know. Editor’s note: We regularly look over this guide, with new updates being added for freshness and comprehensiveness. Once the 10 minutes are up, have each participant read through each Post-it and stick it to the whiteboard. We want all thoughts out of heads and visible for all to see. We’re not going for accuracy or quality here. Affinity Mapping allows us to take everything into account, which is why I referred to it as a blunt tool. Other activities can sometimes be too specific in the ideas or concepts they are trying to explore. It takes into account anything and everything. The point of a brainstorm is that all ideas are on the table.Īnd this is what makes Affinity Mapping so easy to use. Any and every idea, question, or concern is valid here. Participants should write down one idea per Post-it. Conversely, if they are still furiously writing away as the timer is about to buzz, give them an extra minute or two. Read the room and move on to the next step if people pop up their heads and put down Sharpies before the 10 minutes are up. Make sure everyone understands the topic, and brainstorm ideas on Post-it notes for 10 minutes. Brainstorm!Īfter you’ve passed out the writing materials, it’s time to jump to it. It’s important to have a large writable surface where you can attach the Post-its because you’ll be writing group names around the clusters. Prepareįor this activity, you’ll need only the basics-enough Post-it notes and Sharpie markers for each participant, whiteboard markers, and a large open whiteboard. So let’s begin! Affinity Mapping as Solo Activity 1. I’m going to break this activity down into two sections: mapping on its own, and as a supplemental activity. I think of it as a blunt tool because of its very fast and loose structure and quick synthesis. The other activities provide more rigorous structure, and Affinity Mapping wraps the information into a manageable bow. At Atomic, we typically use it after activities like Rose, Bud, Thorn. We often make an Affinity Diagram/Map at the end of other activities. This can be particularly helpful when you want to get ideas onto paper or whiteboard quickly with little framework needed. It can help you to reveal common themes, goals, pain points, patterns, or concepts. Affinity Mapping (or Clustering, as it’s sometimes called) is merely a fancy name for grouping or putting like ideas together-an “apples go with oranges and carrots go with cucumbers” kind of thing. Of all the activities reviewed so far, Affinity Mapping is probably the most simple and adaptable.

Generally, the metal sheds materials, like the steel, include a finishing material of either vinyl plastisol or electro-galvanization. Actually, moving out the things inside the metal shed to put it a new shade after building it up is the last thing you want to do. The way on how to build a metal shed from scratch should have to consider the paint. Also, remember that there should be inside locking for the windows as well. Aside from that, also remember that it should also contain a lockable latch of high quality. Metal sheds made of high-quality materials entails securely screwed panels over the frame instead of just snapping them together. Keep in mind that if the metal shed is easily created and put up together, this also means that it can also easily snapped apart. That’s why many people are trying to learn the process on how to build a metal shed from scratch. There are generally some individuals who’d like to combine things up together just to enjoy and be entertained. Do not need assemblyĪctually, purchasing a built-in and completely finished metal shed does not really require a meticulous assembling process. Doing this will take you to exert a little effort to prepare the site where you will do the work on how to build a metal shed from scratch. It can either be creating a platform made of wood or pour a block of concrete to form a pad. One way on how to build a metal shed from scratch is to create a customized floor prior to attaching the metal shed. Besides, it contains wood and fixed with high-quality fasteners and plates. Meanwhile, the best metal sheds have robust frames which are made in a combination of wood. This will generally help in supporting the panels for walls and roof. Most of the cheap metal sheds have a metal frame that is light in weight. Always check the standard specifications of the metal shed’s frame. Contains heavy-duty frameĪctually, if the frame you will use on how to build a metal shed from scratch is weak enough, there will be a high potential for vulnerability. Likewise, if the metal panels are stronger, the stress to put over the actual metal shed frame is lesser. Moreover, it is more resistant to hail and the sound is more structured. However, the heavier the gauge metal panels means the higher wind rating it has. Generally, thicker metal panels will have a great effect on the final price of the metal shed. Meanwhile, a very thin metal shed has a measurement of 34 gauge. For example, you have a metal shed gauging 22 which means that this metal is very thick. Bear in mind that if the gauge number is lower, the metal is generally thicker. Usually, the measurement of the metal panels used on how to build a metal shed from scratch is through the gauge. Contains gauge metal panels that are heavier This way, you wouldn’t get surprised and expect a lesser storage capacity. In this case, just guarantee that you review the fine print before you proceed on the process on how to build a metal shed from scratch. Generally, the nominal size should not be used in building the base of the metal shed.Īdvertisement of dimensions when it comes to the metal sheds often utilizes the true and edge-to-edge measurements. The nominal size always offers the shed dimensions which is actually the measurements of the roof-edge rounded off to the closest foot. In terms of metal sheds, the nominal size acts to use the broadest roof structure dimensions in size advertisement. This actually happens because lots of the manufacturers of metal shed advertise their buildings through the nominal size. Most of the time, the most common scene when it comes purchasing a shed measuring 10×12 is ending up having 9′-2″ or below. Use true dimensions versus the nominal size I miss the golden age of oddball PlayStation exclusives | Digital TrendsBetween closing PixelOpus and its refocus on live-service titles, PlayStation is losing the eccentric spirit that helped establish the brand.

This is an important factor for shield-compatibility since the logic level is now 3.3V instead of 5V. the voltage at which the microcontroller is actually running. System Voltage: This is the system voltage of the board, i.e. A handy thing to keep in mind is that many of the Li-Po batteries that we carry are 3.7V, meaning that any board with an input voltage including 3.7V can be powered directly from one of our Li-Po battery packs. The board may be rated for a slightly higher maximum voltage, but this is the safe operating range. Input Voltage: This is the suggested input voltage range for the board.
