David Morales, "Golden Era": Dance Music Legend Releases Video For Track Featuring Roisin Murphy (VIDEO)

Shutter shades, t-shirts, jeans and sneaks: Blame LMFAO, but our go-to dance-party outfits aren't what they used to be.

In his new music video for "Golden Era," dance music legend David Morales looks to turn back the clock to a time when a night out meant looking good and engaging in some very dignified fun.

"I decided to do a video for 'Golden Era' because the song lends itself to a story," Morales told HuffPost Entertainment. "I wanted to get away from doing a traditional 'dance' music video -- it's why I decided to go with a film directer as opposed to a typical video director. I wanted the video to have a movie vibe to it."

The video for the single was directed by Victor Buhler, a filmmaker perhaps best known for 2005's "Rikers High," a documentary which took viewers inside the school at New York's infamous Riker's Island prison.

The New York-based producer has remixed every major artist (really: Michael Jackson, Madonna, U2, Kylie Minogue, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross -- the list goes on) since he began reworking pop songs into dance hits in 1986. This work earned him a Grammy for Remixer of the Year in 1998, but Morales has also produced original music for two decades.

All of today's dancepop DJ's, from Afrojack to Tiesto, owe a debt of gratitude to Morales. Often referred to as the first "superstar DJ," the 50-year-old traversed the globe for residences in the hottest clubs of the '80s and '90s.

"Golden Era," which features Roisin Murphy on vocals, is the lead single off Changes. The upcoming disco house album (out June 19 on Ultra Music) includes "You Just Don't Love Me" and "Holiday," tracks dance-floor aficionados are already familiar with.

Watch below, and be sure to keep a special eye out for the young man who should have left those shutter shades at home.

Categories for kinship vary between languages

ScienceDaily (May 24, 2012) ? Different languages refer to family relationships in different ways. For example, English speakers use two terms -- grandmother and grandfather -- to refer to grandparents, while Mandarin Chinese uses four terms. Many possible kinship categories, however, are never observed, which raises the question of why some kinship categories appear in the languages of the world but others do not.

A new study published in Science by Carnegie Mellon University's Charles Kemp and the University of California at Berkeley's Terry Regier shows that kinship categories across languages reflect general principles of communication. The same principles can potentially be applied to other kinds of categories, such as colors and spatial relationships. Ultimately, then, the work may lead to a general theory of how different languages carve the world up into categories.

For the study, Kemp and Regier used data previously collected by anthropologists and linguists that specify kinship categories for 566 of the world's languages. Kemp and Regier used a computational analysis to explore why some patterns are found in the data set but others are not. In particular, they tested the idea that the world's kinship systems achieve a trade-off between the two competing principles of simplicity and informativeness.

"A kinship system with one word referring to all relatives in a family tree would be very simple but not terribly useful for picking out specific individuals," said Kemp, assistant professor of psychology within CMU's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences and lead author of the study. "On the other hand, a system with a different word for each family member is much more complicated but very useful for referring to specific relatives. If you look at the kinship systems in the languages of the world, you can't make them simpler without making them less useful, and you can't make them more useful without making them more complicated. There is a tradeoff between these two explanatory principles."

Kemp and Regier found that this trade-off explains why languages use only a handful of the vast number of logically possible kinship categories.

"The kinship systems that are used by languages lie along an optimal frontier, where systems achieve a near perfect trade-off between the competing factors of simplicity and usefulness," Kemp said. "English -- with two terms to refer to grandparents -- is more simple than Mandarin Chinese, but arguably a little less useful."

"Interestingly, very similar principles explain cross-language variation in color categories and spatial categories, as well as kinship categories," said Regier, associate professor of linguistics and cognitive science at Berkeley, and an author on the earlier work on color and space. "It's rewarding to see similar principles operating across such different domains."

Help Me, My Business Needs A Web Host | Online Business Article ...

?

With the ever growing world of internet based business and marketing we find ourselves seeking the advantages a web site may bring to our companies. Often the addition of a web site to a company?s marketing arsenal can be incredibly beneficial to the company and its clientele base. We can see the impact that web site ownership has on the businesses who own them and the clients who ultimately save in the long run. These savings incurred are primarily due to the buying power generated by the growing popularity of your company and the services they provide.

This is highly advantageous to these businesses and their clients in terms of saving all involved a great deal of money at the end of the day. The business will find savings in the form of storefront overhead expenses as well as a reduced price on the materials or goods you need from your vendors due to your increased popularity in your respective avenues of industry. Not to mention the money they will save on highly costly television advertising campaigns, which in turn cost their customers more money due to the need to support this highly costly form of advertising.

Some businesses just starting out and new to web site management and ownership could benefit greatly if they were to build a free website for business purposes as a training tool before they graduate into a more capable and paid hosting service like web hosting with cpanel from a top notch and reputable web hosting firm. The idea here is to set up a mock web site that you might manipulate and manage the content and look of your web site in a controlled environment that will not affect your business or its sparkling reputation. This is an excellent way for those of us new to all of this to learn the ropes of web site management and quality content generation without any damage to your company.

The afore mentioned damage can come in many shapes and sizes and is best figured out and suffered through on you mock web site as opposed to your final vision and creation of a web site worthy of your companies stamp of approval. You can then use this free or mock web site as a marketing tool for your main web site after you have designed and launched said e-commerce based web site for your businesses use.

It is important that it be stated that when you are ready, a quality web hosting firm will be easily located and capable of providing you with both of these accounts and bundling them in one package so you might be able to get both of your web sites hosted by a quality web host even though you have one of your web sites being hosted for free. Many web hosting companies these days will allow you the opportunity to host multiple web sites and domains from the same hosting account.

So it could be said that every web site you launch after your initial web site will be nearly free of charge. However, if you do in fact have a poor quality web host this may not be at all possible and you may find yourself in need of a new web host all together. This is why the importance of having a top notch web host, even when looking for a free hosting account is so very prevalent. So don?t sell yourself and your business short, get what you can afford that will offer you what you need to be a happy and healthy well rounded web site for your visitors and potential clients.

Quinn Pressured To Create Health Insurance Marketplace | WUIS ...

Illinois legislators have sidestepped a political minefield this spring.?? As Barack Obama?s home state, there had been a push to implement a key component of the president?s signature health care plan.??

Instead, General Assembly leaders collectively decided to shelve their work on a so-called ?insurance exchange.?

But now there?s pressure on Governor Pat Quinn to pick up where legislators left off.?

Rooting for regeneration | Public Finance Opinion

Councils need some grow-your-own tools to help promote local regeneration. Extending the community budget pilots nationwide would be a good start

If regeneration was easy, life would be much simpler. Unfortunately that?s not the case, as several decades of centrally-led programmes have shown. Regeneration is incredibly complicated and the challenges to renew each area are very specific to local circumstances.

And of course, successful regeneration is tricky enough when the economy is buoyant, but even more difficult when times are hard. This means that when public agencies embark on regeneration schemes, it?s crucial they are empowered to do so using the best tools available.

Localis? most recent report ? ?Grow Your Own Way? ? looks at what we believe is the key to regeneration in a time of austerity: a locally-driven approach. We have undertaken research into areas that have been successful in their past efforts, analysing case studies from areas including Manchester, Leeds and Pittsburgh and drawing out key success factors.

One of the report?s major findings is that local authorities are ideally placed to develop bespoke responses to different areas? needs and to lead regeneration in their area. Local authorities, we argue, are at the right spatial level to spot local opportunities, develop a project which engages the local community (and thus is more likely to be valued by it), and sit at the heart of brokering a realistic deal in an austere funding environment.

But local authorities need more than just ?true grit? and an understanding of their communities; they also need the financial tools to drive regeneration. We therefore argue that bolder funding mechanisms and local financial freedoms should be granted by government.

This should include an expansion of Tax Incremental Financing, greater support for local asset backed vehicles, continued engagement and encouragement of pension fund investment, and relaxation and support for municipal bond schemes. These are all useful tools that local authorities should be able to utilise in coordinating and funding regeneration programmes from the bottom up.

We also urge that the community budget pilot scheme should be extended nationwide. Through better local coordination and focus, the precious resources of local authorities and other public sector agencies will be better spent on meeting meet local needs.

If critical mass can be achieved through bringing together public assets and service developments, investors might be more likely to jump on board too. The opportunity is there now for local authorities to make their case to government for more powers and responsibilities and, over the course of the next few months, we will see how the government responds to the existing community budget pilots.

Historically, central government funded regeneration programmes have addressed limited objectives and have met mixed success. In reality, they may well be consigned to the past. By contrast, bottom up regeneration projects can more closely represent and safeguard an area?s particular needs and interests. This creates an opportunity for local government.

A responsive and innovative approach to stimulating growth is essential, and local authorities should lead the way.

Alex Thomson is chief executive of? the Localis think-tank. The Localis report was launched on 23 May as part of the Local Government Association?s local growth campaign

Buyer's Agents are Bargain Hunters; Real Estate to Furnishings ...

We are all about the home buying process. As exclusive buyer?s agents, our?specialty?is preparing you for the biggest purchase of your life. Working with the right lender is a vital part of this process. We make sure you get answers fast and solutions promptly. We work hard to get you the home you want at the best price. We help you prepare for the home search, walk through the home inspection and settlement. This is what we do best however, we like to find bargains everywhere, even in our search for furniture. ?

Funky fun furniture can be really expensive. When I needed family room furniture, I didn?t want to pay a small fortune for it. ?I browsed the furniture rental stores in Rockville Maryland. Cort Furniture Rental ?had just what I needed. A?micro suede?chocolate brown?love seat?and two arm chairs for $399.00.??There are bookcases, end tables, beds, desks, lamps and pictures. Most of the furniture looks new or almost new and all fabric has been cleaned. Some days the store room looks sparse so don?t expect to find what you want on your first visit. When I visited Cort Furniture last Friday, the manager explained that all the new furniture had just been delivered over the past two days. I love the furniture I bought and had a difficult time deciding between several nice family room sets.

This type of shopping is not for everyone. However, for those who enjoy finding a bargain and do not want to pay thousands of dollars for furniture, second hand stores are great! You might also want to check out Unique Thrift?Stores with locations around the Greater Metropolitan Washington DC area. The clothing is clean and well marked and there are certain days where everything is 30 to 40% cheaper.

One Halloween, I dressed as?Shrek?s?wife, Princess Fiona. I wore a dark green?taffeta?tea length gown with a sweetheart neckline and puffy cap sleeves. Green Perfection for just 8 bucks. I also found the ugliest lamp you could ever love at Unique Thrift. With a leopard print lampshade, the ?lamp only a mother could love? is now a jaw dropping accent piece in my home office.

So remember, first we help you buy your home. Then we talk furniture and home decorating. It?s all fun and we enjoy the journey!
