Because over the last couple of years I have sent messages to tens of thousands of people supporting Southwest Airlines only to realize now that I may have led people astray. Instead I am writing to say why I will never fly Southwest Airlines again with children, and why you as a consumer should be aware of the issues you may face if you do. I’m not writing this to say that you should not fly Southwest Airlines, although many of you may have made that decision based on the other problems they’ve faced ( for the record, no one has ever asked me to stop those lingering kisses I give my husband on flights…).

![]() ![]() NME called "U Remind Me" not "the most obvious follow-up to the storming " Pop Ya Colla," but you've got to give this one time to digest. Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine also chose it as a highlight from its parent album. Trading his trademark quick-fire rap/sung delivery for some straight-up riffing and singing, this should earn Usher respect at R&B radio and beyond, helping him keep step with the no-frills old school production that." Sal Cinquemani from Slant called the song a "smash" with an" "instantly recognizable hook and admirable exploration of a conflicted emotional terrain." James Poletti of Yahoo! Music noted the song as the best track on 8701, dubbing it the 2001 version of Craig David's " Fill Me In". Billboard called the song a "return to form" for Usher, further describing it as a "laid-back, catchy summertime head-nodder. "U Remind Me" earned largely positive reviews form music critics. The song's lyrics are based on meeting a woman who reminds the singer of an ex-girlfriend, and therefore cannot comfortably date her. The song follows the chord progression of E ♭m 7-A ♭m 7-B ♭m 7, and the piano ranges from the low note of E ♭ 2 to the high note of A ♭ 5, while Usher's vocal range stretches from B ♭ 2 to A ♭ 5. "U Remind Me" is a contemporary R&B song written in the key of G ♭ major, and is set in common time with a moderate tempo of 92 beats per minute. ![]() ![]() But I want people to just go, 'He can sing'." Composition He's a singer.' We already know he can dance, and he's got the style and that whole thing. I wanted people to hear Usher sing and go, 'This boy can sing. All we did was try to bring the vocal up to par. In an interview with MTV News, Jimmy Jam commented: "It wound up being the perfect song for Usher. While Clement acknowledged that it was "tough to let the song go," Reid guaranteed them the song would be selected as the album's first single from 8701, and sent the track to Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to revamp parts of it. Reid who thought it would be an excellent song for Usher's third studio album. When his manager Mark Pitts, then vice president of A&R at Arista Records, began shopping their demo of the song, it fell into the hand of L.A. "U Remind Me" was written by Edmund "Eddie Hustle" Clement and his sister Anita McCloud and planned to be recorded by Clement's Hustle Child at one time or another. Its accompanying music video features Chilli of TLC as one of the female leads. The song won Usher his first Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2002. "U Remind Me" topped the US Billboard Hot 100 on July 7, 2001, and also reached the top five in Australia, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The song served as the lead American single from 8701 following the release of previous single " Pop Ya Collar", which was only included in some editions of the album. A mid-tempo R&B track, the song is about a man who meets a woman who seems like a nice catch, but he decides not to enter a relationship with her because she looks too much like an ex-girlfriend with whom he had a bad breakup. It was written by Edmund "Eddie Hustle" Clement and Anita McCloud and produced by Clement along with duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for Usher's third studio album 8701 (2001). " U Remind Me" is a song by American singer Usher. ![]() ![]() Superman punch into leg kick for the challenger. Nunes with a jab, Shevchenko with a left. The action slows as we near the one minute mark. They clinch and Shevchenko gets in a right on the break. There’s a right hand off a combo as well. 20 seconds into the round and she’s landed more this round than all of the previous. Round 2: As the commentators mention that the pace of the fight favors Nunes and that Shevchenko would need to up the output in order to tire Nunes out, the challenger starts throwing a little more. Valentina catches a kick, eats a punch but gets in one as well. Not that Nunes has landed much either, and there’s one. One minute to go and I don’t think Shevchenko has landed a clean strike yet.

Entrás a un almacén y ya gastaste cinco mil pesos. Quien también hizo su réplica fue Patricia Bullrich, que comentó: “Un dólar a mil mangos, hiperinflación, angustia. Me gustaría preguntarle al ministro si puede vivir con 124.000 por mes como vive un jubilado, bono incluido”. Por otra parte, la candidata de izquierda Myriam Bregman le consultó al actual ministro de economía si podía vivir con el sueldo de un jubilado: “En estos días la gente está muy desesperada, vive con incertidumbre y el ministro firmó ya con el FMI más tarifazo para después de las elecciones.

Sacks is an associate policy researcher and political geographer at the nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation. Perhaps it's time for the United States to consider whether RFE/RL should return to its roots and follow the BBC's lead in restarting shortwave services to Ukraine and southeastern Russia.īenjamin J. shortwave station Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty for its role in ending the Cold War. Czech dissident and later President Vaclav Havel, amongst others, praised the U.S. Shortwave has proven time and again that it can provide reliable information when and where it's needed most: in authoritarian regimes, in human assistance/disaster scenario situations, and in wartime. As Russia returns to a Cold War era of information control, the BBC is dusting off Cold War tactics to win the information war for a second time. The few independent or opposition Russian radio and television outlets have all but shut down to avoid the retribution of Roskomnadzor, the official Russian media regulator. Russian officials have effectively forced their expulsion from the country through a draconian disinformation law that could see journalists imprisoned for up to 15 years for spreading “falsehoods” that did not subscribe to the official government line. This decision to broadcast to some parts of Russia could be critical, as Russia has blocked the webpages of the BBC, Germany's Deutsche Welle, and other Western media agencies. Broadcasting in English deliberately targets Russia's youth, many of whom speak at least some English. While the BBC is officially targeting Ukraine, its shortwave signals can easily be heard in southeastern Russia. The BBC World Service is also waging an information war with Russia on shortwave. Shortwave radios can also be brought in as nonlethal aid. They are usually small and can be easily hidden from prying eyes. Fortunately, many Ukrainian families likely still have old, often cheap Soviet-era shortwave sets in their basements that can be powered by batteries or wall sockets. The shortwave signal can also be more powerful than that of the jammer, effectively overriding the interference. ![]() The shortwave signal is always drifting slightly, making it difficult to precisely focus jamming equipment. ![]() Shortwave is notoriously difficult to jam, despite Russia and China's best efforts. It cannot be bombed or otherwise destroyed because it is being transmitted from far outside Ukraine. This leaves shortwave, the venerable analog signal infamous for how it fades in and out as each wave is received. Shortwave is notoriously difficult to jam. Last week, Starlink CEO Elon Musk sent “a truckload of satellite dishes” to Ukraine to provide “space internet service.” But Russia can identify the satellite signals, seek to jam them, and locate those who have the dishes in Ukrainian areas now under its control. What about satellite reception? In theory, satellite reception can break through these issues. Russia has demonstrated that it can shut down cellphone communications in areas of Ukraine it has captured or is shelling, including nuclear power plants. Cellphones only have limited range they need towers to transmit longer distances. It can use hackers and such Kremlin-affiliated subversive agencies as the Internet Research Agency to take down or otherwise block internet sites of Western and Ukrainian media agencies seeking to provide accurate information about the conflict. Russia is demonstrating that it can destroy Ukraine's television and FM broadcasting infrastructure. It's this last obstacle that's most important here. ![]() It accomplishes this feat by bouncing between the ionosphere and the earth-over mountains, skyscrapers, and digital firewalls. But shortwave can travel vast transcontinental and transoceanic distances. FM and broadcast television can only travel to just beyond the horizon. In part, this is due to its unique broadcasting qualities. Why do these four-hour daily transmissions matter so much when the world supposedly has moved away from radio and adopted social media and the internet? Isn't shortwave an obsolete, century-old technology that harkens back to memories of World War II and the Cold War?ĭespite its age, shortwave remains an enduring tool in the global fight against disinformation. The decision to resume Ukrainian shortwave broadcasts came after Russian forces began to deliberately target Ukrainian communications equipment, including the Kyiv television tower. On March 2, the BBC World Service announced that it was restarting four-hour daily shortwave transmissions in English to Ukraine. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are gearing up for football season, be sure to fill your man cave with Vintage Brand canvases, wall art, coasters and drinkware!

Mixed-mode resins that combine hydrophobic properties with electrostatic properties for binding or elution have shown promising results. To address these issues, attempts have been made to replace expensive Protein A resin with conventional chromatographic resins. Other problems include the low binding capacity of Protein A resin and Protein A leaching. Thus, the cost of using Protein A depends on how many cycles the ligand can be reused. At the commercial scale, the cost of Protein A is a major issue, as low pH elution can cause damage not only to the antibodies to be purified but also the Protein A ligand, which can reduce the lifetime of the resin. With this method, antibody binding, which may potentially cause protein denaturation or aggregation, is not involved. We previously showed that agarose native gel electrophoresis can separate antibodies and host cell contaminants effectively, and hence here investigated the feasibility of antibody purification using native gel electrophoresis. Here, we review methods of antibody purification that do not use a Protein A column. In addition, such a harsh elution condition can cause the leaching of Protein A, which can impact in vivo effects of the eluted antibodies. This acid elution can cause denaturation and hence a loss of potency. In the research setting, the major problem with Protein A chromatography is not the high cost of Protein A resin but the difficulty in elution due to strong protein–protein interactions between antibodies and the Protein A ligand, which requires strong acid for reasonable recovery. The process of antibody production at both small and large scales has been comprehensively reviewed. Protein A chromatography constitutes a purification platform technology, although expensive, for research and the commercial-scale production of antibodies. ![]() |
