The Waste Land
I. The Burial of the Dead
April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.
Bin gar keine Russin, stamm’ aus Litauen, echt deutsch.
And when we were children, staying at the arch-duke’s,
My cousin’s, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

One of the great joys of owning a home is having the space to entertain. That’s why many home shoppers pine over houses with a great backyard, picturing themselves putting in a dining table, a barbecue, and maybe some raised flower beds.
But why stop there? Recent trends show that to many homeowners, “outdoor living” means more than just setting up a GrillMaster; the ideal outdoor space now looks like an extension of your interior. In fact, a new report from Houzz found that 88% of homeowners taking on landscaping projects upgrade outdoor living elements such as furniture and heating features that make spending time outside more comfortable. In February and March, the home remodeling and design website surveyed more than 750 U.S. homeowners using Houzz who are planning, are in the midst of, or recently completed a landscaping project.
“We’ve continued to see homeowners put greater priority on developing a personalized outdoor living environment,” says Matthew Breyer, president and lead designer for Breyer Construction & Landscape. “No longer are we simply ‘building boxes,’ but rather, we’re working as designers to help flesh out how our clients anticipate living in these spaces, and where their priorities are.”
Landscape architect Drew Langston agrees that homeowners are focused on outdoor living. In the past two years, Langston has quadrupled the amount of “landscape master plans” he’s working on at any given time. These include pools, patios, walls, fire pits, and extensive landscaping—and his business is based in chilly Buffalo, NY!
Even in the Northeast, where warm weather isn’t as consistent as in other parts of the country, he says people are still jumping at the chance to improve their backyards.

Trending features for the ultimate outdoor living area
Homeowners looking to spend more time living and entertaining in their backyards are actually outfitting them with decor pieces we’re used to seeing inside. For 43% of respondents, that means lounge furniture, while 34% bring in dining furniture. Other hot outdoor furnishings include string lights, at 35%; benches, at 27%; ceiling fans, at 15%; and rugs, at 14%—all of which make the space look like a cohesive room.
Heating sources such as fire pits are also popular, with nearly 40% of respondents saying they installed, or are thinking of installing, one. Outdoor heating overall is valuable as it can extend the season for outdoor entertaining.
Of course, tricking out your backyard in 2018 also means bringing in some shiny new devices such as TVs, chosen by 59% of respondents; wireless speakers, at 42%; and wired charging hubs, at 11%. Breyer also mentions that accessories such as fans and LED lighting have taken priority among clients.
“We have been working with a number of customers that have amazing lighting, full outdoor sound systems, and other outdoor amenities, all that work in conjunction with the indoor sound systems,” says Patrick Harders, a contractor in Northern Virginia specializing in outdoor lighting. “These allow people to entertain as if they are in their own private resort.”
Speaking of privacy, it’s also one of the biggest requests from homeowners undergoing a landscaping project.
“Due to the increase in time spent entertaining outdoors, people are realizing just how close the neighbors are. We do more construction with mini pergolas, decorative feature walls, outdoor blinds, and tiered landscaping to address these concerns,” says Breyer. Privacy fences and noise-canceling barriers are also popular choices for folks who don’t want to end the party at 10 p.m.
How much are people spending?
Outdoor renovations can be expensive, but it’s a cost that a majority of homeowners are willing to pay. According to the survey, 56% of homeowners spent more than $10,000 on their outdoor renovations. Almost a third, 32%, reportedly spent less than $5,000.
“In my experience, the average landscape (planting and beds only) is about $3,500 to $5,000, and the average project involving hardscaping (walls, patios, fire pits) as well is about $15,000,” Langston says. “This being said, we execute several jobs a year between $25,000 and $50,000, and usually one to three jobs a year that can be between $80,000 and $100,000. I truly believe an enjoyable landscape is achievable at any budget.”

Why homeowners are shifting their focus outdoors
The biggest reason for starting a landscaping project is to improve elements of the outdoor space that have deteriorated. But once those updates are made, 67% of homeowners said they spend more time outside once they completed a landscaping project, with 62% of those spending their time relaxing and 44% gardening. So when it comes down to it, people just want to have an outdoor place to unwind that’s as comfortable, accommodating, and private as their living or dining room, no matter if they live in Boca Raton, FL, or Buffalo.
“In Western New York we only have a few months of great weather that we can actually be outside,” says Langston. “People want to spend more money to create an amazing space outdoors so they can enjoy the nice weather as much as possible.”

SHOCKING: Sona Mohapatra slams Kangana Ranaut’s interviews about her relationship with Hrithik Roshan a publicity gimmick
Kangana Ranaut, who is busy with the promotions of her upcoming film Simran, recently opened up about her infamous legal spat with her alleged former boyfriend, Hrithik Roshan. Kangana Ranaut opened up about her affair, legal spat and more on Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adalat and other shows. While many are seeing it as a courageous move, others have termed it as a promotional gimmick.
For singer Sona Mohapatra, this whole reopening of Hrithik Roshan vs Kangana Ranaut seems like a circus and more like a PR stunt for her upcoming film. Sona addressed the entire issue about Kangana’s recent openness in her recent Facebook post. She wrote, “Dear Kangana, I have always cheered loudly, in private & in public for you. Long, long before you turned queen et all but your current run across the airwaves regurgitating personal details of your love life over & over again, washing dirty linen in public & more so as part of a professional PR campaign before your film release is in bad taste. No two ways about it.”
Sona Mohapatra also questioned Kangana Ranaut’s feminist stand and termed it as a big dis-service to the cause of feminism & fair play. She added, “Also, it does a big dis-service to the cause of feminism & fair play. Wish you well & wish you would rise above this muck & make your point through actions & your work. Your success doesn’t need this tabloid trail. Your well thought out & superbly worded open letters of the past, fearless interviews addressing larger issues, taking a stand, taking legal recourse are welcome. The current ‘circus’, not. This is just another opinion in the public domain from one working woman to another, from the heart & on an impulse. There is no PR machinery or team guiding me here.”
Sona further wrote, “I do believe that there are plenty of feminists in the opposite gender. Men who cheer the cause of outspoken, feisty, fierce & hard working women like you & me. We don’t ‘need’ them as such but let’s not forget them & also the thousands of amazing women who fight the good fight on a daily basis with dignity. Life might not have been easy but you are in a great place now. More so to influence positive change. That is worthy of a daily celebration.”
Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut co-starred for the first time in 2009’s Kites when reportedly they had an affair. Later, both of them starred in a film together in 2013’s Krrish 3. The year 2016 saw a huge drama in her life when Kangana Ranaut’s one statement about calling Hrithik Roshan her silly ex-turned into a huge public legal battle.

Hey guys! Man. THANK YOU so much for the overwhelming response on the reveal of the Small World room yesterday! (If you haven’t seen it yet check it out here!)
You know I try to post tutorials for everything that I do but friends, a tutorial for this wall treatment just isn’t happening. Not because I don’t think that you can do it, but because I think you TOTALLY CAN!! Let me explain.
This room started off as a rough (and I mean rough) sketch. There were no measurements or angles or exactness. I knew the general size and the general shape and that was good enough for me. (Court was a little concerned when I pulled out my drawing)
I started off by measuring and marking the size for each building on the wall with tape. Then we got to work ripping pieces of 1/2″ plywood down and started attaching them to the wall (just make sure when you’re doing this that you’re hitting at least one stud!)
I also used 1×2’s to add detail and dimension. If you’ve ever seen Small World you know that dimension is of most critical importance, everything got layers.
Once the build out was done it was time to pull it all together. This is where I hit a creative roadblock (if you follow my instastories you were a part of this emotional and frustrating part!)
The detail was pretty much done and it was time to start adding wallpaper and paint. The biggest issue that I kept running into is that it was going very juvenile really quickly. I know how that sounds. This is a kids room, I’m using It’s A Small World as inspo. DUH of course its juvenile. But the dilemma is that my daughter is 9 and so I wanted the room to feel more old kid and not nursery. A good dose of whimsical and modern.
I started painting and almost immediately hated it. See I get this feeling in my gut and I know if I’m on the right track or not. It was just too busy with the wood and the wallpaper (even though the paper is white) and the patterns. Again, I know how this sounds. How is it not supposed to be busy?! It just felt like mixing the shapes and the colors and the elevations was just too much.
Oh and did I mention that one of the best things about this type of work is having hard deadlines, and I had to have this room ready for pictures the next day. Not a problem.
So I did what any rational person that hated what was happening would do. I started painting over everything. As I was doing this I was feeling SO conflicted. I love the natural wood, but with the floors and the dresser and the whole vibe I was going for they couldn’t stay natural.
After I had painted everything white I was so gut sick. It just wasn’t working! And now I couldn’t go back (plywood doesn’t sand well). I needed to take a break and walk away from the situation.
Have you ever listened to Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED talk about creative genius? It’s SO AWESOME. Go listen to it right now! For me, creativity is spiritual. Not in a religious sort of way, but in a there-is-something-bigger-that-endows-me-with-ideas sort of way. So I left the Merc, parked my car and started to meditate and pray. It was after about 30 minutes of wrestling with my genius (have you listen to the talk yet?!) that I got the distinct impression that I needed to think bigger than the buildings. When I think of my daughter I see her potenitial as such a light. She literally radiates. So I was picturing her sitting in her bed and the idea of doing these rainbow beams came to my mind, because that is just who she is. As soon as I saw it I knew it was exactly what the space needed.
I started measuring and marking the stripes by using masonry line and nails. (You can see the pink masonry line in the picture below, see how it all meets at one central point?)
Then I got to painting. I used sample pots (if youre doing an accent wall with sections of color, 9 times out of 10 you can get away with testers and don’t need to buy full size cans.) It will save you so much money!!
And then voila! we ended up with this!
Check out the video below to see the whole process play out in a time-lapse!!

Cape Cod is in the process of slowly and safely reopening in the wake of the Corona Virus pandemic. It may not be “business as usual”, but there certainly are plenty of reasons to make Cape Cod your destination for a socially distant and fun family vacation. With less tourists than normal, now is the perfect time to visit to socially distance yourself away from others and bring your family closer together.
Dining
If your family is looking to eat out during your stay, fortunately there still are many options to chose from. Main Street Hyannis has erected concrete barriers that line the road, making room for outdoor seating for restaurants. Though indoor seating is currently permitted on Cape Cod, an extended outdoor seating accomodation is provided out of respect for those who chose to take stricter precautionary measures. Less than 2 miles away from the Bayside Resort, Main Street Hyannis offers a wide selection of 49 restaurants that range from seafood to fine dining, bars, and casual gourmet. Further, located right in Yarmouth, we recommend your family to visit restaurants such as the Skipper or Captain Parkers, who have fantastic water views in their outdoor seating areas. There’s no better place to enjoy seafood than Cape Cod, and not even the pandemic can stop that! Finally, because of the limited seating capacity due to social distancing guidelines, we encourage you to call ahead and make a reservation if possible.
Take a Hike!
A fantastic way to distance yourself from others is to take a hike, or a bike! Our first recommendation for hikes are rail trails. First, the Shining Sea Rail Trail stretches 10.7 miles, but has various intervals to park at to customize the length of your journey. The flat paved trail passes through Chapoquoit Beach, Sippewissett Salt Marsh, cranberry bogs, and finishes at historic Woods Hole. Other flat and paved rail trails include the Cape Cod Canal and the Cape Cod Rail Trail– both are also great places to get some fresh air on safe, paved ground. Next, we also recommend you check out nature trails! There has never been a better time to go outside and distance yourself from others. Additionally, with the limited tourism to Cape Cod this summer, we encourage you to take this rare opportunity to see the Cape untouched by others. Our top picks for nature trails include the White Cedar Swamp trail, Fort Hill Trail, and Sandy Neck Beach. In all three of these trails you will get access to a unique aspect of what makes the Cape so special. More information on Cape Cod nature trails can be found on the National Parks Website.
Go to the Drive In!
We covered this topic previously in our “Best Things to do on Cape Cod” post, and fortunately the argument still holds true! Visiting the Drive In is still one of the most charming and safest activities to do this summer, and will be fun your family won’t want to miss. Enjoy movies found in theaters today at the comfort and distance of your own car. Additionally, with the grand opening of the Yarmouth Drive In, the Bayside Resort is only minutes away from the fun! Tickets are $30 a car, with a max of 4 people. Additional passengers will require a small fee. Tickets can be found at YarmouthDriveIn.com. Further, if you want a more nostalgic experience, visit the Wellfleet Drive In! Parking spots are limited to every other space and a mask must be worn when visiting the snack bar and bathroom. Tickets are 13$ a person and can also be found on their website.

Homes with an open floor plan are all the rage these days. However, if you’re hesitant to start knocking down walls, rest assured, there are many ways to create a sense of space without sacrificing privacy when (and where) you need it.
That’s according to “Open Concept Houses“—a new book by architecture authority Francesc Zamora Mola (author of “150 Best Mini Interior Ideas“). This coffee-table book presents gorgeous open floor plans and the benefits they offer.
“Opening up cramped living spaces can do wonders by freeing up space, allowing more natural light in, and promoting interaction among family members,” Mola points out in his book. And if you love having guests over, all the better: “Open plan houses are homes made for entertaining.”
So if you’re craving more open space, how can you make that happen? Check out these tips from Mola on finding (or fashioning) the perfect open-concept house for you.
1. Knock down walls on the outside
Each living space opens outward.
Mihaly Slocmbe Architects
Of course, the downside to knocking down walls is it eliminates options for privacy. But there is another way: Rather than knocking down a home’s interior partitions, eliminate walls along the exterior instead.
In the abode shown above, Mosa says, “the main living room spills out onto the balcony, the kids’ living room opens into the pool enclosure, and the bedrooms all have doors onto the back garden.”
2. Use your roof
A rooftop can become a dining room.
Craig McMahon Architects
The design of this Texas home (shown above) incorporates the outdoors, making the yard as important as the living space. A big part of that is the use of the roof not simply as a means to keep rain and sun off the inhabitants, but as a dining area where homeowners can truly feel the open air. Of course, not every climate is friendly to outdoor dining year-round, but roof space can also be turned into a part-time hangout.
3. Add skylights to let in more light
Skylights bring in light from above.
Shinberg Levinas
They may be above us, but skylights can play a big role in an open floor plan, as they bring added light and a sense of openness to a room. The skylight was added above the kitchen island in this home, Mosa says, because kitchens tend to draw people in, acting as communal spaces in a home.
4. Add eaves for efficiency
Eaves help with energy efficiency by preventing overheating.
Go Design 21
Windows all around a home certainly add to the open concept, but they can also cost you big-time when it comes to energy efficiency, as sunlight can overheat the home. The solution? This home in California has deep eaves which hang over the windows. They prevent overheating (and help the homeowner hold the line on air-conditioning bills) while still allowing the home to fill up with natural light.
5. Leave beams exposed
Exposed beams open up the space.
Feldman Architecture
Whether it’s adding new construction or renovating the old, the rustic aesthetic of exposed beams can also make a room seem more airy and spacious, ideal for an open floor plan.
In this home, the architects also left the staircase open to create a flow from one floor to the next, connecting an upstairs office space with the children’s room one floor down.
6. Ground your design
The dark floor provides contrast against the white walls.
Yoshida and Zanon
There’s a tendency to use white in open floor plans, as the lack of color keeps the space light. But this home’s open concept is kept grounded with the use of earthy tones in the decor—note the greens and blues on the rug, pillows, and more—plus a deep brown floor that is reminiscent of the earth outside.
“The light color scheme contrasts with the dark flooring, while matte surfaces are juxtaposed to spectacular finishes,” Mosa notes of the decor. “Together, they contribute to the creation of an airy and relaxed atmosphere.”

Dillon Francis‘ produced work will soon be heard on the big screen, but it’s not what you’d expect. It’s far, far, more catchy than any of his songs to date.
In the teaser below, his new song made especially for the The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is revealed. Dillon Francis, T-Pain, and That Girl Lay Lay collaborate for what’s debatably the catchiest song of all time. It has the kind of appeal of “Let It Go,” the overwhelmingly popular and overplayed song from Frozen.
“This is fucking awesome,” Dillon shares on Twitter. “I got to make the lead song for the new Lego Movie.”
He gives fair warning, “So if it gets stuck inside ur head and you want to punch me in the face I’m sorry.” But, we gotta admit — it’s catchy af. Borderline annoying even. The kind of song that you’ll either love, or love to hate. But, catchy.
Seriously though, nobody would be able to pull off a theme song like this the way Dillon Francis has done. Play at your own risk — because this will be stuck in your head for a while.
Dillon Francis – “Catchy Song” featuring T-Pain and That Girl Lay Lay
This is fucking awesome I got to make the lead song for the new Lego Movie w @TPAIN & @ThatGirlLayLay2 … so if it gets stuck inside ur head and you want to punch me in the face I’m sorry (you gotta admit tho it’s catchy af) pic.twitter.com/U5EyxkFDaL

Ford and Vaughn Gittin Jr. have teamed up to create a one-off Mustang GT that honors American fighter pilots who flew in the Royal Air Force in WWII known as the Eagle Squadrons. These pilots were actually volunteers that wanted to fight against the enemy before America entered the War.
The custom Mustang was created through a collaboration between Ford Performance and Gittin’s RTR Vehicles. As for the car itself, the exterior was designed after the Hawker Hurricane plane, one of the most successful planes used in WWII. For power, this Mustang GT’s power has been increased up to 700 horsepower thanks to a Ford Performance supercharger. It also comes with an RTR carbon fiber widebody kit and Tactical Performance suspension.
The car will be debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and then brought back to the United States for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s “The Gathering” event on July 26. During this event, the Mustang GT will be auctioned off to support EAA’s youth education programs.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. Tests Out His New 900 hp Mustang RTR
“Supporting young pilots through the EAA charity auction reflects Ford’s aviation history, tracing back to the company’s early days and the Arsenal of Democracy during WWII,” said Darrell Behmer, Ford Mustang design chief. “The Eagle Squadron Mustang GT build with Vaughn and the Ford design team is a great way to honor our heroes and keep the spirit of aviation alive for the next generation of American pilots.”
Whoever gets the winning bid on this Mustang will also get an all-inclusive package for two to attend the 2018 Ford Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit where they will take delivery of the car.

Over the span of several weeks, a senior woman and a child have died after being detained in federal immigration custody. These represent the latest in a series of deaths that have occurred since the Trump administration launched its “zero-tolerance” policy.
The child’s death was first reported on social media by Houston, Texas-based immigration attorney Mana Yegani, who tweeted that the child died after being released from the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, which is run by the private prison company CoreCivic. Advocates and attorneys working in the state confirmed with Rewire.News that the child died after being released from the facility.
One Austin, Texas-based organizer told Rewire.News that the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) “confirmed a death occurred a few weeks ago.”
Katy Murdza, an employee of the American Immigration Council and the advocacy coordinator for the Dilley Pro Bono Project, said she did not have “permission at this time to share who provided the information.” But she did confirm the report. “We have heard that a child died after leaving the South Texas Family Residential Center (STFRC). We do not have information on the cause of death or information that confirms a connection between medical treatment at STFRC and this death,” Murdza said in an email.
Rewire.News could not confirm the child’s age; however, the Washington Post reported Wednesday she was a toddler.
Responding to reports of the child’s death, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tweeted on Wednesday, “Reports that a child died in ICE custody at Dilley are false.” In an emailed statement to Rewire.News, the agency clarified that “ICE would not necessarily know what happens to individuals who have left ICE custody. That doesn’t make an allegation true, just impossible to refute. Only a death in custody would be considered an in-custody death.”
A representative from CoreCivic echoed ICE’s response, telling Rewire.News in an emailed statement that “there have been no deaths in custody at the South Texas Family Residential Center” and that “once the individuals in our care has left our facilities, we receive no further information about them.”
Poor medical care has long been an issue in detention, including at family detention centers like Dilley. In 2015, AILA and other organizations assisted ten mothers in filing complaints with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and the Office of Inspector General because of the “severe suffering families” endured, including “poor access to and quality of care” and “questionable medical ethics.”
Mothers and their children waited up to 14 hours in the sun in order to be seen by medical staff, according to the complaint. Children were left in the care of guards, sometimes for days, if their mothers were transferred off-site for emergency care. One child who was vomiting blood was “told only to drink water,” the complaint said, and was not referred to external medical care for three days.
As Rewire.News recently reported, it is common for detained people experiencing illness, no matter how serious, to be told by officials to simply drink water. The same applies to children detained alongside their parents, as one formerly detained person told Rewire.News.
The child who left Dilley died allegedly as a “result of possible negligent care and a respiratory illness she contracted from one of the other children,” Yegani tweeted July 31.
CoreCivic told Rewire.News in a statement that the private prison company “does not provide medical or mental healthcare services or staffing at STFRC. The federal government’s ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC) is solely responsible for contracting, staffing, and oversight of any medical and mental health services provided at STFRC. CoreCivic staff at STFRC do not make medical or mental health treatment determinations and are trained to refer all detainee health or medical concerns, whether routine or acute, to facility medical staff for evaluation, triage, and treatment.”
News of the child’s death comes on the heels of Commander Jonathan White of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps testifying to Congress that he and the Office of Refugee Resettlement warned the Trump administration of the impact of its family separation policy at the border, raising concerns about “any policy which would result in family separation due to concerns we had about the best interest of the child as well about whether that would be operationally supportable with the bed capacity we had.” White said the separation of children from their parents “entails significant harm to children.”
“There’s no question that separation of children from parents entails significant potential for traumatic psychological injury to the child,” he said.
It is unclear how long after being released from Dilley the child died, but within a short period, there was an in-custody death at another CoreCivic-run detention center. ICE confirmed on Friday the death of a 62-year-old woman detained at California’s Otay Mesa Detention Center. Augustina Ramirez-Arreola, an immigrant from Mexico, died on July 26 while awaiting deportation.
Ramirez-Arreola was pronounced dead by medical staff at the hospital at approximately 10:45 p.m., according to a press release from ICE. Hospital staff identified the preliminary cause of death as complications from surgery. She had been transferred to the hospital earlier in the day for scheduled surgery to treat a heart abnormality, ICE said in the release.
A 2016 report from Human Rights Watch (HRW) revealed that most in-custody deaths are preventable and the result of “substandard medical care and violations of applicable detention standards.” The most dangerous ways ICE fails migrants in detention, according to HRW, are by not following up on symptoms that require assistance and not responding quickly to emergencies.
ICE previously told Rewire.News that when a person dies while in the agency’s custody, their “death triggers an immediate internal inquiry into the circumstances.” The summary document ICE eventually releases to the public is the result of a review conducted by ICE’s Office of Detention Oversight, established in 2009 as a result of reforms by the Obama administration after reports of human rights abuses and deaths in detention centers.
Ramirez-Arreola’s is the ninth in-custody death in fiscal year 2018, which began October 1, 2017. What is unknown is how many people die after being released from ICE custody.
In July 2016, Clara Long, the lead researcher on the HRW’s report about in-custody deaths, told Rewire.News that researchers need more information regarding deaths that occur just after migrants are released from ICE custody, such as the recent death of the child who left Dilley. Another example is Teka Gulema, an Ethiopian migrant detained at Etowah County Detention Center in Gadsden, Alabama, who was released from ICE custody in November 2015 while in the hospital after becoming paralyzed from a bacterial infection acquired in detention. He died in January 2016.
“One concern we have, and it’s a very big fear, is that there are multiple reports of folks who are released from ICE custody while in critical condition,” Long said in July 2016. “When they die, they are no longer counted as in-custody deaths [by ICE]. We’re worried that’s a loophole being exploited—and for obvious reasons, we don’t have a number in terms of how often this is happening.”

There are a lot of parents out there with college students who are entering final exam time. Whether it’s their first year or their senior year, there is still a lot of stress and little extra time to take care of life’s necessities.
This time of year is the perfect opportunity to send your student a care package. To take the hassle out of thinking what to include, we’ve provided a go-to list on what to put into the box! Remember to include extras since roommates will be looking to share!
Useful items
Let’s start with the necessary items first. Since it’s the end of the year, school supplies might be running short. Include a couple of pencils, pens, highlighters and sticky notes. If your child is moving out of the dorm or having to pack up all their belongings for the summer, consider buying things cheap since all these items could get thrown away in the end of the year cleanup.
And speaking of that, if deep cleaning will need to take place prior to heading out for the summer, add supplies to the package. This will prevent your student from having to run to the store while also juggling studying, packing, and sleeping.
Brainpower food
While chips and sweets may be fun to nibble on while pouring over books, it’s important your student maintains a healthy diet. Nuts—specifically walnuts—are a top food for brain health. Visit the Vending Nut Company in Fort Worth to create a custom nut combination specifically tailored for your child. If you can’t make it to their store, they also sell gift tins that can be shipped directly. Dried fruits, granola bars and bottles of water are also great options to include.
Fun food
In addition to healthy food, everyone loves a treat now and then. Finals are the perfect excuse to send a favorite treat! In addition to candy, consider treating them to themed iced cookies. You can order custom cookies featuring the college mascot or colors from local Fort Worth bakery, Haute Cakes and Cookies. If your student is local, Tiff’s Treats is another option and an easy way to send warm chocolate chip cookies and milk straight to the library!
Gift cards
In addition to the stress, the end of the year can get expensive. Between putting deposits down for new apartments and all the opportunities to go out with friends one last time, money can easily become tight. Include gift cards to your student’s favorite restaurants or coffee shops to help ease the financial burden.
Add a note
Finish the care package off with a note of encouragement. With tensions running high and stress from tests and papers piling up, a reminder of the support of your parents can mean a lot. No matter how old your child is, a sincere note can change their day. If your child is returning for the summer, remind them that you are happy to have them home. It can be hard to transition from the freedom of college back into the home with rules and curfews. Reminding them they are welcome and that you’re happy to have them will make the transition easier.
School is almost over and, with it, finals! If you have any favorites for care packages, make sure to let us know for our packages next year!

A refrigerator is a vital piece of equipment at home. Without it, it would be nearly impossible to keep groceries fresh. If the breakdown is a major problem, then it would a good idea to get in contact with refrigerator repair. However, you could troubleshoot and fix simple refrigerator problems. The principle behind keeping food fresh is simple; remove the heat. To accomplish this, a gas (refrigerant) is used to absorb the heat that is generated inside the freezer. A compressor pumps the refrigerant through tubing where it absorbs the heat from the warm air inside.
If your fridge breaks down, it is possible to troubleshoot and fixes the problem yourself. Here are three solutions to three simple problems provided by the experts at Louisville Appliance Repair
•Your Fridge Does Not Cool – This could be due to loss of power. Check that the socket connection is okay. If you open the door and the light does not come on, then check out the following. Make sure the thermostat has not been turned down and also check the air vents to make sure that they are not blocked. Check the coils to make sure they are not blocked. Proper airflow is required to create a chill. Check the condenser fan and clean it if it is clogged up with dust. Your fridge should now run a chill properly.
•Your Fridge Has Puddles of Water – The first culprit is the water supply line connected to the icemaker. If the inlet valve is leaking, tighten the nuts. Replace the copper tube if it is leaking. Check the drain tube to make sure it is not clogged. Blow air through it to make sure that it is clear. If your fridge is in a slanting position, water puddles can form. Experts from refrigerator repair Orange County advice keeping the fridge level to drain water into the pan.
•The Icemaker Is Not Working – To diagnose this problem, check the water tube that supplies water. It can get clogged with ice if the water is trickling slowly. Another problem could be the saddle valve. This can also be clogged with ice. This is very easy to clear by making sure the needle hole is open. Also, check the electric inlet valve. It is advisable to turn off the saddle valve water before disconnecting the inlet valve supply tube. Turn on the saddle valve water supply. If water flow is okay, the problem is a faulty inlet valve. Replacing this should solve the problem.
You should know that refrigerators will operate well if the temperature is above 45 degrees Fahrenheit. When it is too cold, the refrigerant pressure cannot generate a chill. In turn, the freezer can only attain a chill equal to the outside temperature. If you are not able to diagnose and solve the problem, then you should contact refrigerator repair Orange County for assistance.

Zeds Dead made a name for themselves in 2010-2013 by being an unstoppable force of innovative bass, through both remixes and originals. Aside from their collaborative work with Omar Linx, the two Canadian bass producers created a number of remixes that were wholly unique to their sound: “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” by Nina Simone, “Gimme Shelter” by The Rolling Stones, “Paradise Circus” by Massive Attack, “Volcano” by Dragonette, and of course, “Eyes On Fire” by Blue Foundation.
Over the years, their sound has changed slightly. They’ve explored more avenues in bass music while still keeping their same identity, but it’s impossible to say that it hasn’t evolved. But with their new remix of “Bury A Friend” by Billie Eilish, I feel that same excitement I did nearly a decade ago when I first discovered my love of Zeds Dead.
And that’s not really a surprise, either. Dave Grohl compared Billie’s influence on her fans now to that of Nirvana’s in 1991 — that Zeds Dead would add her to their catalogue of remixes along with Massive Attack, Rolling Stones, and Nina Simone makes perfect sense.
The remix is dark and sultry, but not ever overpowering. The bass notes keep you in the moment, remembering at all times, “This is Zeds Dead.” But best of all, Billie’s vocals are left nearly entirely intact. It’s a testament to her own skill as a vocalist, but also Zeds Dead’s instinct as producers.
Like anything else involving Billie Eilish, this remix will probably go down as a classic in Zeds Dead’s discography when all is said and done. Check it out below.

Largest Civilization expansion to date set to add an active world with environmental challenges; a Diplomatic Victory, new civilizations and all-new game systems
2K and Firaxis Games have announced that Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI: Gathering Storm, the second expansion pack for the critically acclaimed and award-winning Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI, will be available for Windows PC on February 14, 2019.
Civilization VI: Gathering Storm will introduce an active planet where geology and climatology present unique new challenges. Players will build new Engineering Projects; manage their cities’ Power and Consumable Resources and work with other world leaders; in the World Congress to deal with the challenges presented by the dynamic forces of nature. This new expansion also extends the Technology and Civics trees with a future era and adds nine new leaders; from eight new civilizations, a new Diplomatic Victory condition; a variety of new units, districts, wonders, buildings and more.
“As Sid Meier’s Civilization approaches its 27th anniversary; 2K is honoured to unveil Civilization VI’s second robust expansion; inviting fans to explore and master the franchise’s rich and strategic gameplay; in all-new ways with Civilization VI: Gathering Storm. Once again; the team at Firaxis has exceeded expectations to evolve Civilization’s features; with the largest expansion ever developed for the series.”
said Melissa Bell, SVP and Head of Global Marketing at 2K.
“With Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm, players are now faced with a changing, active planet that places new challenges and opportunities in front of them. Volcanoes, river floods, droughts and massive storms all await and are a part of our new Global Climate system that can cause ice sheets to melt and sea levels to rise based on players’ choices about how they want to interact with the environment.”
added Ed Beach, Lead Designer at Firaxis Games.
Key features for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm include:
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: Volcanoes, storms (blizzards, sand storms, tornados and hurricanes), climate change, floods and droughts will bring the world to life in a brand new way. Settlement choices are more important than ever for players as they balance high risks and high rewards;
POWER AND CONSUMABLE RESOURCES: Strategic resources play an additional role in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm. These resources are now consumed in power plants to generate electricity for cities. Initially, players’ advanced buildings will be powered by burning carbon-based resources; like Coal and Oil, but renewable energy sources also unlock as players progress to current-day technologies. The choices a player makes about resource usage will directly affect the world’s temperature; and can cause melting ice caps and rising sea levels;
ENGINEERING PROJECTS: Players can now shape the world around their empires to overcome unfavorable land conditions by making improvements like canals, dams, tunnels and railroads. When settling cities, players will need to consider the flood risk to coastal lowland areas, but keep in mind that in the late-game, new technologies like Flood Barriers can be used to protect these tiles;
WORLD CONGRESS: For the first time in Civilization VI, players can make their voices heard among the other leaders of the world. Along the way, they can earn Diplomatic Favor through Alliances, influence city-states, compete in World Games and more. In addition, they can use Diplomatic Favor to extract promises from other leaders, vote on Resolutions, call a Special Session to address an emergency and increase the weight of votes in their quests to achieve the new Diplomatic Victory;
21st CENTURY TECHNOLOGIES & CIVICS: A new era has been added to the Technology and Civics trees. As well, players will combat new environmental effects with speculative ideas, such as relocating their populations out to seasteads and developing technologies to recapture carbon emissions;
NEW LEADERS AND CIVS: Nine new leaders from eight new civilizations are introduced. Each brings unique bonuses and gameplay, as well as a total of nine unique units, four unique buildings, three unique improvements, two unique districts and one unique governor;
NEW SCENARIOS:
– The Black Death: The Black Death ravaged Europe and western Asia in the mid-14th century, killing a greater share of the population than any other event in world history. The player’s task is to lead his or her nation through the calamity: keep the population alive, the economy strong and faith unshaken amidst a world of terror and desperation;
– War Machine: At the outset of WWI, the German Imperial Army had a daring plan: invade neutral Belgium and then rush the French heartland before its leaders could mobilize to resist. When war was declared, both armies swung into motion and set up one of the most incredible and shocking military campaigns in world history. In this multiplayer scenario, players take the side of one of these two great powers at this same precipice. The clock is ticking, and the enemy is moving;
MORE NEW CONTENT: Civilization VI: Gathering Storm will introduce seven new world wonders, seven natural wonders, 18 new units, 15 new improvements, nine new buildings, five new districts, two new city sets, nine new techs and 10 new civics;
IMPROVED GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS: The Espionage system will be enhanced with new options. In addition, the Culture and Science Victories have been updated; new Historic Moments have been added and additional improvements have been made to other existing systems.
Developed by Firaxis Games, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is rated PG and is available now; for Windows PC and Nintendo Switch. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is also available for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Linux; from Aspyr Media. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm will be available on February 14, 2019; for Windows PC and coming shortly thereafter for Mac and Linux from Aspyr Media.

After Shraddha Kapoor and Neil Nitin Mukesh, these actors too are a part of Prabhas’ Saaho
The trilingual action drama Saaho featuring Baahubali star Prabhas in a lead role has been mounted on a huge scale and also promises of an ensemble cast. While after a lot of speculations, the heroine finalized was Shraddha Kapoor, the film will also have other Bollywood actors playing an integral role.
Amongst them include Mandira Bedi who will be playing a prominent part in a film after a long time and besides her, Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Mahesh Manjrekar as well as Tinnu Anand too are said to be a part of the film. Mandira will be seen in the antagonistic role of Kalki along with Neil Nitin Mukesh who will essay the role of the main villain. It is also being said that Chunky, Mahesh and Tinnu Anand too have strong roles in the film but the details of their characters are currently being kept under wraps.
Moreover there are some popular actors from down South who will join this cast – actor-singer Arun Vijay and talented Malayalam actor Lal have important roles in the film to play.
As for the shooting, reportedly Mandira Bedi has already completed a major schedule of the film where she has shot for action sequences including hand-to-hand combat along with co-star Jackie Shroff in Hyderabad. Since the film boasts of high octane sequences, international stunt co-ordinators have been invited to direct the same for the film.
The trilingual drama Saaho that also marks Prabhas’ foray in Bollywood, will release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu with Shraddha Kapoor as his leading lady and it is directed by Sujeet. The film is said to be shot in Romania and Abu Dhabi besides a major shoot schedule in Mumbai. The film will have music composed by the famous trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and the lyrics will be penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Dance music has always had a close relationship with video games, after all, electronic music provides the soundtrack, and many games have iconic scores. Few games in history are as iconic as Mortal Kombat. This past Thursday, the first game play trailer was revealed for the highly anticipated Mortal Kombat 11, out on April 23.
Mortal Kombat has been in gamers’ lives for more than 25 years, revolutionizing fighting games forever, and becoming one of the most iconic and venerable franchises in the industry. The 1997 film also has a classic dance music soundtrack — dance music is in Mortal Kombat’s DNA. This time the Mortal Kombat team enlisted the help of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Bassjackers, who lend their 2018 track, “The Jungle,” for an epic preview of the game.
First off, wow, this game looks AMAZING!! Classic characters like Raiden, Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Baraka unleash absolute carnage upon each other. The fatalities look absolutely brutal (Baraka rips Scorpions face off his skull!), all of the iconic moves are there (Scorpion’s “Get Over Here”, Raiden’s flying bullet) and what better way to unleash some vicious combos on fools than to the trapped out tune from DVLM and Bassjackers. The livestream event that unveiled the gameplay featured a bunch of celebrities and youtubers, as well as a highly anticipated matchup between Dimitri Vegas and Don Diablo. Dimitri got the best of Don and made it all the way to the finals.
Check out the insane trailer for Mortal Kombat 11, out on April 23!
And to get you in the mood to save Earthrealm from the Netherrealm and Shao Kahn listen to Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike & Bassjackers “The Jungle” available on Smash the House.

Shraddha Kapoor scales down her weight & remuneration to work with Prabhas
So it’s pukka now. Not Prabhas’s good friend and Baahubali co-star Anushka Shetty, but it’s Shraddha Kapoor who will be standing neck-to-neck fist-to-fist with Prabhas in his Tamil-Hinid bi-lingual Saaho.
Shraddha will have to quickly lose all the kilos she had gained to play the weighty gangster in Apoorva Lakhia’s Haseena Parkar. In fact the original choice Anushka Shetty couldn’t eventually do Saaho as Anushka was unable to shed the kilos in time for the shooting.
“But that should not be any problem for Shraddha,” says a source from the Saaho team. “She is more than capable of getting back into her original shape, plus some more. She needs a more toned physique to play Prabhas’s fighting-fit comrade on screen.”
Interestingly Shraddha had said no to Saaho when she quoted a staggering fee to join in. But now after a string of flops behind her, Shraddha can see reason and will cut down her price to accommodate the Telugu film’s budget.
“Shraddha always liked the script of Saaho. But earlier she couldn’t do the film as she quoted a price the Telugu producers could not afford. This time after they approached her when Anushka Shetty had to exit, Shraddha quoted a more reasonable price. And she’s on,” says the source.

Thyssen II,
Duisburg-Ruhrort, June 2017
The year is 1930—a present wracked by profound crises worldwide. The social order is coming unstuck, but so are traditional categories of knowledge. Europe’s imperialist expansion is at its zenith even as its very legitimacy is being radically called into question. Political and social conflicts quickly assume global dimensions. The First World War, revolutions, the industrialisation of production, the scientization of everyday life, and new images and encounters with alterity distributed by mass culture have shaken the Eurocentric worldview to its core—and all the old certainties that came with it. Both economic and social crises corresponded with an epistemological nervosity that has reached fever pitch. The individual’s place in time and even the concept of history itself have become problematic. In search of new beginnings, a new critical awareness manifests itself in a recourse to all things archaic, to “deep time,” and to notions of humanity’s “childhood.” Ethnologists and prehistorians play a crucial role in the anthropological speculation sparked by origins of all kinds. Disseminated by the media and by the increasingly important field of art journalism, “world art”and the spectacle of cave painting become cultural formulae for a revised view of history and modernism. Taking Carl Einstein’s “Handbuch der Kunst” as its operative center, Section A sheds light on pictorial and textual articulations of the “archaic illusion” of the period from the 1920s to the 1940s.
— from a Catalog on the works of Carl Einstein
