But the very first recording session was held by none other than producer and songwriter FINNEAS. Music studio A has already seen its fair share of talent with Japanese Breakfast, the classical pianist Lang Lang, Zara Larsson, Avril Lavigne, Ethel Cain, Arooj Aftab, Del Water Gap, Bob Moses, Tom Morello, and Snail Mail. So they’re all working on multiple genres and we have everything they need.” And we hosted the series Created by Women, in which the producer, engineer, and artist are all women. ![]() They play the pipe flutes with a drum-machine-beatbox. “We just hosted Kalush Orchestra, the Ukrainian band that won Eurovision. The instrumental options for the studio are endless: “We chose the gear and the instruments to apply to any sort of genre or group that would come to record there,” noted William. Read on to see how Chris, William, and the team’s thoughtfulness has come to create a space where creators feel at home. We spent a lot of time thinking about how each constituent would need to use it.” “And so we really talked a lot about who would be coming in and what type of artists, what type of creators, what the employees would need to do, and what the community that we were building in would want, need, or expect from us. “When we first sat down to design the offices, we wanted to enable music, video, and audio production to happen right here at the Spotify offices in a really great environment,” Chris told For the Record. And now that it’s open, they’re realizing even more ways to make it attractive and accessible to creators well into the future. Our hub in Los Angeles is a state-of-the-art music- and podcast-recording facility with doors opened wide to creators for audio innovation and celebration-and there’s something for every creator at every stage of their career.Ĭhris D’Angelo, Spotify’s Head of Production & Studio Facilities, and William Garrett, Senior Music Producer/Studio Development Lead - two of the space’s biggest champions - have been thinking about how to best use the space since its inception. But when it comes to our LA office, At Mateo, we also mean it literally. ![]() When we talk about making Spotify the preferred destination for artists, we sometimes mean it figuratively-alluding to the reach of our platform, the programs we have for up-and-coming creators, and beyond. ~ David Jeffries & Neil Z.Studio photos by Brad Devins and Sean Michon ![]() Later that year, KIDS was released to streaming services for the first time, which helped place it back on the Billboard 200. The LP became Miller's fifth Top Three showing on the U.S. Intended as a companion to Swimming, Circles featured vocals recorded for this eventual project, which was completed by producer Jon Brion. In early 2020, his first posthumous set was released. Following his death, seven of his albums posthumously charted on the Billboard 200, including the debut appearances of Best Day Ever and Macadelic. Debuting at number three on both the Billboard 200 and R&B/hip-hop charts, the set included the songs 'Small Worlds,' 'Self-Care,' and 'What's the Use?' A month after the release of the effort, Miller died from a suspected drug overdose in his San Fernando Valley home. The album featured contributions from guests like Kendrick Lamar, Cee Lo Green, Ariana Grande, Robert Glasper, and Anderson.Paak, who lent his soulful rasp to first single 'Dang!' A pair of non-album singles ('Buttons' and 'Programs') kept Miller busy into 2018, when he issued his fifth album, Swimming. Just a year after GO:OD AM ascended to the Top Five of the Billboard 200 and rap charts, Miller returned with his fourth LP, The Divine Feminine. The single '100 Grandkids' peaked appropriately at number 100, while 'Weekend' was certified gold. GO:OD AM followed in 2015 with Lil B, Chief Keef, and Miguel on the album's guest list. ![]() However, the life forms in the camp are all decoy copies of Multiple Man. ![]() After interrogating a depowered Mystique, the FBI discover Magneto's base in the woods. She destroys the house and kills Xavier by disintegrating him, before leaving with Magneto. Magneto and Xavier go in, and both vie for Jean's loyalty until the Phoenix resurfaces. Magneto learns of Jean's resurrection through Callisto, and the X-Men arrive at the Grey home at the same time as the Brotherhood. The Phoenix emerges, knocks out Logan, and escapes to her childhood home. Logan is disgusted to learn of this psychic tampering with Jean's mind but, once she awakens, he discovers that she killed Summers and is not the Jean Grey he once knew. When Logan and Storm return to the X-Mansion, Xavier explains to Logan that when Jean sacrificed herself to save them, she also freed the " Phoenix", a dark and extremely powerful alternate personality which Xavier had telepathically repressed, aware of the Phoenix's godlike destructive potential. When they arrive, they find only telekinetically floating rocks, Summers' glasses, and an unconscious Jean. Sensing trouble, Xavier sends Logan and Storm to investigate. Jean appears to Summers but, as the two kiss, Jean kills him. Meanwhile, Scott Summers, still distraught over the loss of his fiancée Jean Grey, drives to her resting location at Alkali Lake. Mystique, shielding Magneto from a cure dart, is hit by it and loses her mutant abilities. ![]() They attack the mobile prison holding Mystique to free her, also freeing Multiple Man and Juggernaut. With help from Pyro, Magneto recruits Callisto and several other mutants. Magneto re-establishes his Brotherhood of Mutants with those who oppose the cure, warning his followers that the cure will be forcibly used to exterminate the mutant race. While some mutants are interested in the cure, including Rogue, many others are horrified by the announcement. The cure is created from the genome of a young mutant named Jimmy, who lives at the Worthington facility on Alcatraz Island. In the present, Worthington Labs announces it has developed an inoculation to suppress the X-gene that gives mutants their abilities and offer the "cure" to any mutant who wants it. Ten years later in 1996, the industrialist Warren Worthington II discovers his son is a mutant as he tries to cut off his wings. In 1986, Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr meet young Jean Grey at her parents' house to invite her to join their school, the X-Mansion. Unlike its predecessors, the film received mixed reviews from critics, but it grossed approximately $459 million worldwide, becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2006 it was at the time the highest-grossing film in the series and is currently the fourth-highest-grossing film of the franchise. X-Men: The Last Stand premiered in the Out of Competition section at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, and was released theatrically in the United States on May 26 by 20th Century Fox. It had extensive visual effects created by 11 different companies. ![]() Filming took place from August 2005 to January 2006 with a budget of $210 million, and was consequently the most expensive film made at the time of its release. Matthew Vaughn, who was initially hired as the new director, left due to personal and professional issues, and was replaced with Ratner. Singer had not even defined the storyline for a third film. X2 composer and editor John Ottman and X2 writers Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty also left to work on Superman Returns, as did James Marsden, who had very limited screen time in The Last Stand before his character was killed off due to his departure from the film. Written by Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn, the film is loosely based on two X-Men comic book story arcs, " Gifted" and " The Dark Phoenix Saga", with a plot that revolves around a "mutant cure" that causes serious repercussions among mutants and humans, and on the resurrection of Jean Grey who unleashes a dark force.īryan Singer, who had directed the two previous films, X-Men (2000) and X2, decided to leave the sequel to work on Superman Returns (2006). It features an ensemble cast including Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Kelsey Grammer, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Shawn Ashmore, Aaron Stanford, Vinnie Jones and Patrick Stewart. It is the sequel to X2 (2003), as well as the third installment in the X-Men film series, and was directed by Brett Ratner. X-Men: The Last Stand (also marketed as X3: The Last Stand, or X-Men 3) is a 2006 superhero film based on the X-Men comic books published by Marvel Entertainment Group. ![]() This cookie is set by GDPR Cookie Consent plugin. ![]() The cookie is used to remember the user consent for the cookies under the category "Analytics".

This is how UKRI has visualised our favourite meals in 2030… How could our favourite dishes be changed in response to the climate crisis? A Climate Positive Menu: Breaking Down the Nations’ Favourites Cleaner, more sustainable food choices will give you the best of both worlds: an appetite for nature and a nutritious diet. The research supported by UKRI has found that Net Zero Eating can help us reduce our carbon footprint without sacrificing healthy eating patterns. The global mass of farm animals is now 22 times heavier than all wild animals combined.Around 50% of Earth’s habitable land is used for agriculture, of which 77% is used to graze animals or to produce crops to feed animals.Farming, hunting and fishing are the principal causes of species decline in Europe.Agriculture – especially beef farming – is still the main cause of land-use change, including tropical deforestation.Global farming productivity is already 21% lower than it could have been without climate change.The UK’s land footprint for food is 140% of the size of the UK.The recently published National Food Strategy, an independent review carried out for the UK government, elaborates on the current challenges in food production with the following points The agricultural industry has a huge impact on climate change, contributing significantly more than other sectors – so it’s crucial for us to work together and find ways of protecting Earth whilst also providing food security worldwide. It’s important that we all play our part in reducing global warming by making more sustainable farming choices. Climate Change and the Agricultural Industry UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has visualised how we could eat in a Net Zero future. Billions worldwide are starting to move away from traditional diets and embrace more plant-based foods, not just for ethical reasons but also because these foods provide us with increased levels of nutrition that we can’t find elsewhere.īy 2030, the future of food may look very different: more plant-based proteins, less dairy and meat and more sustainable food choices on our menus. The world is on the brink of an agricultural revolution. A Net Zero diet will not only change how we grow our crops but also our dietary habits – if implemented correctly, this could make all sorts of improvements from combating climate change right through to economic stability. Clean eating strives to maximise the value of resource use and minimise adverse environmental impacts. ![]() In summary, late lead perforation should be considered if patients present with chest pain and pacemaker malfunction. Unfortunately, it remains speculative if the unusual QRS vector was an expression of anodal stimulation because no 12-lead surface ECG with effective ventricular stimulation was documented before the patient was referred to our institution. 5b) excluded a left ventricular position of the pacing lead. ![]() This observation suggests left ventricular stimulation, but the lateral chest X-ray (Fig. 3), the precordial leads showed a right bundle branch block-like deformed QRS complex. In the ECG that was taken during ‘bipolar’ stimulation with the perforated lead (Fig. This observation suggests anodal stimulation from the RV lead ring, because CT scan illustrated that the perforated electrode tip was outside the myocardium and tip-ring spacing of Medtronic 4074 lead is 17 mm. In our case, efficient pacing could at least transiently be achieved with the perforated lead by changing the pacing polarity from unipolar to bipolar. Several risk factors for lead perforation with symptomatic pericardial effusion after permanent pacemaker implantation are discussed: use of a temporary transvenous pacemaker, steroid use within 7 days prior to implant, use of helical screw ventricular leads, older age, body mass index <20 and longer fluoroscopy times. Multidetector CT has been shown to be a useful tool for verifying the diagnosis. Ĭonventional chest X-ray and transthoracic echocardiography can be helpful in diagnosis but occasionally fail to identify lead perforation. On the other hand, completely asymptomatic cases of late lead perforation have also been described. Rare cases of cardiac tamponade or death have been documented in patients with late lead perforations. Less frequently, late lead perforation may cause chest pain, hemopneumothorax and pneumothorax. Most commonly, this complication manifests with pacemaker malfunction such as insufficient cardiac stimulation and resulting symptoms such as dizziness (as in our case) or syncope. Symptoms of late lead perforation are commonly subtle and unspecific. Rare cases of lead perforation later than 1 year have been reported. Delayed lead perforation (≥1 month after implantation) occurs in 0.1–0.8% of pacemaker implantations. Acute perforation of the right ventricle has been reported in up to 1% of patients and is normally associated with haemorrhagic pericardial effusion and haemodynamic instability due to tamponade, necessitating pericardial drainage and occasionally surgical intervention. Lead perforation is a rare complication in patients undergoing pacemaker implantation. Postoperative device interrogation demonstrated a stable unipolar pacing threshold of 0.5 V at 0.5 ms. The lead could be removed without complications and a new RV lead (same model, 4074 CapSure Sense, Medtronic, USA) was implanted in the lower RV close to the apex. Based on these findings, elective lead extraction was performed in the operating theatre with backup for emergency thoracotomy because of the elevated procedural risk for haemorrhagic pericardial effusion and tamponade. CT imaging and echocardiography excluded significant pericardial effusion. This diagnosis was confirmed by native multidetector computed tomography (CT) of the chest (Fig. 5a) was found to be suggestive for late lead perforation. ![]() In our case, no conclusions could be drawn from the post-implant X-ray due to a low image quality, but in consideration of the patient history, the current chest X-ray (Fig. In this situation, the comparison of a current chest X-ray with the image taken earlier after implantation may verify lead dislocation. ![]() We found excellent sensing parameters, an inconspicuous pacing impedance, unipolar exit block and bipolar capture with an elevated pacing threshold. In our case, device interrogation revealed dubious findings. In patients with presumed pacemaker dysfunction, device interrogation should be performed first. The interest rate during the adjustable rate period is called the fully-index rate and is determined by adding the index to the margin. The interest only period interest rate is usually less than the rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage but higher than the rate for a comparable adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). The interest rate for an interest only mortgage during the interest only period is set by the lender based on market conditions and negotiations with the borrower. ![]() Interest Rate for an Interest Only Mortgage For example, with a 5/1 interest only mortgage, you pay only interest at a fixed interest rate for the first five years of the loan and then you pay both interest and principal plus your mortgage rate is subject to change and potentially increase on an annual basis for the remaining 25 years of the mortgage. Interest only mortgages are often referred to as 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 or 10/1 Interest Only ARMs (IO ARMs) with the first number indicating the length of the interest only period and the second number indicating how frequently the interest rate can change during the adjustable rate period. With an an interest only mortgage you pay only interest and no principal during the first three, five, seven or ten years of the loan, which is called the interest only period, and then loan converts into an amortizing mortgage and you pay both principal and interest for the remainder of the mortgage, which is called the adjustable rate period because your interest rate is subject to change. You can also understand the total interest expense for an interest only loan based on applying the current fully-indexed rate for the remainder of the mortgage. The fully-indexed rate changes over time but this scenario allows you to evaluate what your payment may be when the mortgage begins to amortize. Our calculator shows you the current fully-indexed rate and monthly payment based on the information you inputted. For example, if the index is 3.000% and the margin is 2.500%, then the fully-indexed rate used to calculate your payment is 5.500%. The rate during this phase of an interest only mortgage is called the fully-indexed rate and is calculated by adding the index to the margin. During this phase of the loan your interest rate is also subject to adjust on an annual or semi-annual basis, depending on your mortgage terms. Following the interest only period, your mortgage amortizes which means you are required to pay both principal and interest. Click here for more information.Payment After the Interest Only Period.

Kleczynski and Harrison reportedly made $600,000 in their first year of selling the software, despite not having met personally at the time. Marcus Chung, an e-commerce expert who formerly worked for GreenBorder, was hired as chief operating officer. Bruce became the VP of Research for Malwarebytes, and further hired Doug Swanson, with experience in freeware development to work for the new company. Kleczynski and Harrison formally launched Malwarebytes on Januwhile Kleczynski was studying computer science at the University of Illinois. RogueRemover proved instrumental in developing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and Kleczynski was able to set up a forum which enabled him to improve the software through feedback. In 2006, Kleczynski worked with a college roommate to produce a freely available program called "RogueRemover", a utility which specialized in fighting against a type of infection known as "rogues", which scam computer users into giving away their credit card information through fake anti-virus software. With one of the site's regulars, Bruce Harrison, Kleczynski wrote the inaugural version of the company's software. The company was unofficially founded after this, when Kleczynski conversed and became friends with several of the editors of the forum, who tempted him to buy an unused domain from them. It was only after Kleczynski posted on the forum SpywareInfo, popular at the time, that he was able to learn how to remove the virus, which took three days. ![]() He later recalled "I've never been as angry as when I got my computer infected", and professed that his mother told him to fix it "under penalty of death". Kleczynski later discovered that, when his mother's computer became infected, neither McAfee nor Symantec would remove the malware from his system. ![]() He noticed that whenever infected computers arrived, the shop would typically reformat the computer entirely, rather than combat the virus, even if the infection was only minor. CEO and founder Marcin Kleczynski, originally from Poland, was still a teenager attending high school in Bensenville, Illinois, at the time, and was working as a technician in a computer repair shop in Chicago.
