THE BLOSSOM – All or Nothing (Official Visualizer)

It goes without saying that Shelter In Place – A Future Classic Compilation arose from the current times and COVID-19 pandemic. As creatives now wonder about their future livelihoods, the compilation provides a group of rising stars a chance to exhibit their talents. Themes of restlessness, isolation, and hope permeate the seven films, which reflect the emotional impact of self isolation and the ways we can turn to artistic expression to escape them. Future Classic will be donating the first month of proceeds from the release to the Heartland Foundation which helps the most marginalized and vulnerable communities affected by the pandemic.

Lyrics:
i been on my own, shit,
no one else around me,
driving stolen cars around my bed
dreaming of good days, maybe this is real life..
happening and ones gonna tell me nuthin..

oh
here i go go, oh yeah im drifting, shallow water, water oh no i’m sinking..
hold my golden chains around my neck..
uh oh
X2

i want it all or nothing now
tell me nothings easy
wrap your legs around me
wrap your legs around me
maybe i feel lonely
tell me nothings easy
wrap your legs around me now

i can see the sun drip
down into my rough hands,
scars upon my face, but they’ll heal soon
smiling on the outside,
dreaming of the sweet times,
take the money, burn it, burry all you got now…

oh
here i go go, oh yeah im drifting, shallow water, water oh no i’m sinking..
hold my golden chains around my neck..
uh oh
X2

i want it all or nothing now
tell me nothings easy
wrap your legs around me
wrap your legs around me
maybe i feel lonely
tell me nothings easy
wrap your legs around me now

Government debt would reach 74% of GDP in 2022 | Q COSTA RICA

QCOSTARICA – Public debt would reach 74% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) next year, alerted the Comptroller General (CGR)on September 30, in a report where it analyzed in depth the data incorporated by the Ministry of Finance in the 2022 National Budget bill.

The Ministerio de Hacienda (Ministry of Finance) in September presented to Congress the draft of the National Budget 2022.

The CGR estimated that although the Government expects that the inflow of external resources for budgetary support will make it possible to substitute internal debt for external debt and reduce the growth of these liabilities, the debt / GDP ratio for next year will be at 74% “and will continue presenting levels above its natural limit (50% of production) for at least ten years ”.

This was pointed out when considering that the financing needs reflected in the 2022 budget project will continue to exert pressure on indebtedness. In this regard, he argued that to regain stability in public finances, it will take time and specify measures in terms of income and expenses that generate constant surpluses.

Exceeding the natural limit of the debt means that there is the possibility that at some point in the future the financing spaces will become scarce and expensive, as explained by the Ministry of Finance, in the document Justification for the definition of the Debt Policy for the Costa Rican Public Sector.

The CGR indicated that the actions must be accompanied by the allocation and efficient use of public debt and a liability management that allows reducing the pressure that the existing obligations will generate in the future.

On the other hand, the entity pointed out that the results of the Medium Term Fiscal Framework 2021-2026 (MFMP) indicate that if the fiscal adjustment measures promoted by the Alvarado administration are not applied, the debt would reach 74.7% of GDP at 2026.

It added that, if they are implemented, for that year the indebtedness would be placed at 68.5% of GDP and that by 2032 it would return to the natural debt limit.

“The fiscal strategy proposed by the Ministry of Finance to achieve said sustainability consists of the materialization of the fiscal adjustment plan (elements in income and expenses) in the context of a favorable macroeconomic environment and an intensive use of external financing resources,” the CGR commented.

At the beginning of this year, the Government negotiated with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the approval of an agenda of bills to increase income and reduce expenses, in exchange for a loan of US$1.778 billion to balance public finances.

However, in the heat of the electoral campaign, legislators have already let the deadlines to discuss three of these initiatives in committee expire without having discussed them. These are the tax on lottery prizes, the reduction of tax benefits (eliminates the exemption from school salary to income tax) and the elimination of vacant places and the freezing of government pensions.

The same will happen in a few days with the bills for the tax on luxury homes, global income, reform of the Customs Law and the contribution of public companies to the payment of public debt.

These bills aim to increase revenues to reduce the public debt of ¢26.4 trillion colones, while reducing spending with the public employment reform, which is being adjusted according to the observations of Room IV to give it a second debate.

Last week, an IMF mission asked legislators about the possibility of the agenda being approved during the month of October.

Regarding the fiscal risks in the medium term, the CGR expressed its concern about two problems: the prolonged containment of spending in substantive functions to meet the financial cost of the debt and the growth of the State’s debt with the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS ).

“In the latter case, without remedial measures, it could continue to increase at an accelerated rate,” warns the comptroller.

On the other hand, the Comptroller stated that although for the 2022 budget it is estimated that revenues will recover to levels similar to those registered before the pandemic, and that there will be a decrease in primary spending and a positive fiscal situation, it is necessary to have a primary surplus (difference between government income and expenditures not including interest payments).

“The debt is growing, as a result of the devaluation of the colón and the accumulation of considerable liquid funds, while there are unmet obligations. For this reason, a significant reduction of the debt is imposed in the medium term in order to attend to the substantive functions of the State ”, the document adds.

Additionally, it pointed out that there are a series of law initiatives that seek to create exemptions for different sectors or new expenses, which would impact deteriorated public finances. The CGR indicated that this is the orientation of 28 of 62 bills consulted with the Comptroller’s Office last September.

This work presents the first development of an all-steps-in-one test kit for the determination of paraquat in natural water, and vegetable and agricultural samples. A handheld photometer incorporated with a magnetic stirrer was used to complete the steps of extraction, mixing, and detection. Paraquat produces a blue free radical ion via a reduction with sodium dithionite in alkaline conditions. Sodium dithionite powder was investigated for the enhancement of reagent stability duration, which was added directly into sample solution that showed insignificant difference in sensitivity as compared with that of the solution format of sodium dithionite. The developed test kit showed good performance with the linear calibration of 0.5 to 10 mg L−1 with a high coefficient of determination (r2 = 0.9947). The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ = 3SD of intercept per slope) carried out from the method using the handheld photometer was 0.50 mg L−1. The limit of detection (LOD) by naked eye was 0.30 mg L−1. The recovery study was acceptable in the range of 101–115%. Intraday (n = 3) and interday (n = 3) precision was less than 1%. On the basis of the significance test at the 95% confidence interval, quantitative results of the developed test kit agreed well with those from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating an online extraction for vegetables incorporated into a test kit, applicable for on-site analysis. Single-point calibration based on the Beer–Lambert law also demonstrated the measurement of paraquat. In testing with a nominal standard solution of 5.00 mg L−1 paraquat, the reading concentration was 5.09 ± 0.03 mg L−1 paraquat (n = 20) with a K value of 0.0967 (close to the slope of multipoint calibration). This research is a direct benefit to agricultural products and the health of a population for the analysis of pesticides and herbicides.

Disco, dembow and discarded bras: Backstage with Latin music’s next global superstar

It started with a computerized bassline on his laptop. Then a whimsical trill of falsetto. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.

It was then that 28-year-old Rauw Alejandro knew the kind of beat he needed for his song “Todo De Ti,” or “Everything About You.” Dembow, the reggaeton riddim that’s become a staple of the Latin pop charts, was too lax. A plug-and-play trap beat was too ambient.

Alejandro needed something with more verve, more sparkle — perhaps a classic sound he first discovered on vinyl, collecting dust in a crate somewhere inside his father’s den. He wasn’t sure it would work in Spanish. But with its crisp, disco-revival beat, “Todo De Ti” rocketed to No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, went six times platinum in the U.S. and gave Alejandro permission to live out his ‘70s roller-boogie dreams in the accompanying music video.

After the long pandemic, he said, his rationale was simple: “There aren’t enough artists dancing in the reggaeton world or making R&B music in Spanish. So why don’t I do both?”

Alejandro, a scholar of both Daddy Yankee and Michael Jackson, took a giant leap of faith this year when he introduced retro funk and dance elements in his sophomore LP, “Vice Versa.” The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, and now he’s headlining a sold-out world tour across the U.S., Spain and the Dominican Republic.

On Thursday night in Las Vegas, he’s nominated for three Latin Grammy Awards: “Todo De Ti” is up for both record and song of the year, while “Tattoo (Remix),” his single with Colombian pop singer Camilo, is nominated for urban fusion/performance. (Alejandro was nominated for best new artist in 2020, losing to Mike Bahía.)

“Awards are dope,” he said. “Especially for my team, they deserve them. But I don’t like getting caught up in that competition, the controversy when someone wins and someone loses. That’s not why I do music.”

As if there wasn’t already enough excitement surrounding him, Alejandro spent the past weekend at the LOS40 Music Awards in Palma de Mallorca, where he walked hand in hand down the red carpet with his new girlfriend, Spanish music star Rosalía.

“Power couple vibes,” he said, flashing a smile.

I met Alejandro last month in his hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he sold out four consecutive nights at the city’s Coliseo de Puerto Rico, which seats 18,500. Clad in a black Burberry tee and striped trousers, he perused a box of doughnuts in the green room and explained why he renamed his globetrotting jaunt “The Bra and Panties Tour.”

The frenzy started after a woman flung a white cotton bra at Alejandro during a July show in Elizabeth, N.J. Five months later, his crew claims to have amassed a department store’s worth of undergarments over the course of his arena tour. Some are adorned with cutesy hearts scrawled in Sharpie pen; others include names, phone numbers and unquotable messages.

By year’s end, he vows to repurpose their offerings into an art installation of sorts. “I’ll take them to the laundry first,” he assured me. “People were pulling bras off their bodies!”

On Alejandro’s opening night at the Coliseo, few women were so brazen as to toss their intimates onstage. (The official Los Angeles Times count: two bras and a thong.)

Perhaps it was out of respect for his mother, María Ruiz, who stood excitedly in the front row. Or perhaps they were too caught up in Alejandro’s adrenalized performance: nearly three hours of strutting, sprinting and seductively body rolling across the stage, his tattooed physique glistening with sweat, as he led a mixed-gender dance crew through some steamy perreo — a provocative dance and a national pastime. To sell out the “Choli” once is no small feat to any Puerto Rican, but to do it four times begged multiple rounds of this chant across the stadium: “¡Yo soy boricua, pa’ qué tu lo sepas!” (“I’m Puerto Rican, so that you know!”)

“My people motivate me,” he said of his fellow boricuas. “My family motivates me. I want my family to be taken care of, and that makes me work harder. I like feeling responsible.”

More than just gossip about the toll of her divorce, the singer’s fourth album, ’30,’ offers deep thoughts on love’s causes and consequences.

Born Raúl Alejandro Ocasio Ruiz, he was raised just east of San Juan, in the municipality of Carolina. Alejandro’s mom, a choir singer and now retired government administrator, works on occasion as his Puerto Rico-based assistant. His father, Raúl Ocasio, a land surveyor by trade, is also a skilled guitar player from Brooklyn; he raised his children on Elvis Presley and James Brown records, along with those of the salsa supergroup Fania All-Stars.

“For my dad it wasn’t about genres; it was about creating moods,” said Alejandro. “At home we listened to American soul, boleros, salsa, merengue. Sunday was church, then Monday was for rock ‘n’ roll.”

Like countless other Puerto Rican millennials, Alejandro was fluent in the local lingo of reggaeton. But American R&B “is my essence,” he said. “I like the sexiness of R&B, the slow jams. When I do music, I start with the piano — puro R&B. Then I bring in the reggaeton, the trap, the dance.”

Alejandro took up singing and dancing alongside Francis Díaz, his best friend since kindergarten and now his full-time personal assistant. Díaz introduces himself as Hueso, or Bone, a nickname bestowed on him by classmates who teased him for his slim build. Alejandro, he says, got the less deprecating nickname.

“‘Rauw’ is just an easier way for a kid to say Raúl,” said Díaz. “And look at that; he got a stage name out of it.”

For talent shows at their Catholic high school, the two lifted choreography from 2000s dance flicks like “Step Up” and “Stomp the Yard” to emulate their heroes, artists like Justin Timberlake, Usher and Chris Brown. “Of course there were religious songs,” said Díaz — which left pelvic thrusts out of the equation.

Alejandro attended the University of Puerto Rico on a soccer scholarship, and trained in Orlando, Fla. with the goal of playing on the U.S. national team. By 2014, sidelined by injuries, he had turned to recording moody trap lullabies alone in his bedroom and, at the behest of friends, began uploading them to SoundCloud.

“I was in a really dark moment, and music was my therapy,” he said. “In sports, my coaches taught me discipline. So if I was gonna do music for a living, I was gonna go hard.”

“Going hard” for Alejandro meant getting production tips from his friend Luis J. Gonzalez, now DJ-producer Mr. NaisGai, and then dropping new songs on a near-weekly basis to build streaming numbers. Through a clever scheme devised with other young trap MCs on the island — including Lyanno, Brray and Myke Towers — Alejandro and his friends amassed a wealth of streams by remixing one another’s singles.

In 2017, Alejandro signed with Duars Entertainment (which later partnered with Sony Music Entertainment), and earned endorsements from key players in reggaeton’s old school, including Plan B’s Chencho Corleone, Zion y Lennox and Nicky Jam; then, earlier this year, he was tapped by pop superstar Selena Gomez to feature on her first-ever Spanish-language EP, “Revelación.”

“Rauw knows consistency as much as he knows how to reinvent himself,” said Antonio Vazquez, head of U.S. Latin, Editorial at Spotify.

Last year, Jamaican producer Rvssian invited Alejandro to sing with one of his R&B heroes, Chris Brown. On the reggaeton/R&B track “Nostálgico,” the two tag team racy verses in English and Spanish.

“I thought, ‘Wow, I’m finally here,’” said Alejandro. But some fans soured on him because of Brown’s 2009 assault on pop superstar Rihanna, as well as abuse allegations made by actress Karrueche Tran in 2017.

“Chris and [Rihanna] are cool,” he offered, in a rare moment of discomfort. “So who am I to judge?

“But I also think about my mom, my little sister, my grandma,” he continued. “I grew up with them. Women inspire me, and I want to make songs that make women feel good, sexy and powerful.”

Released in November 2020, his full-length debut, “Afrodisíaco,” is a sensuous night cruise from reggaeton to trap/R&B, guided by Alejandro’s velvety soprano. On June’s “Vice Versa,” Alejandro croons about love, sex and intimacy in the digital age, his Caribbean romanticism suffused with elements of deep house (“Cosa Guapa,” “Desenfocao’”) and with breakbeats on the Tainy-assisted “¿Cuándo Fue?

“Me and Tainy experimented with drum and bass sounds two years ago, but it didn’t feel like the right time,” said Alejandro. “I wanted to give people time to understand me. I’m not a regular reggaeton guy. I think they’re ready for it now.”

The people, broadly speaking, were evidently more than ready for this year’s wave of electro-Latino fusions. “Todo De Ti” and Farruko’s tribal guarachero smash “Pepas” were two of the biggest Latin songs of the summer, and both have lingered on the Billboard Global 200 chart for nearly five months.

“We’re fast-approaching an era where the biggest stars in music also happen to be the best genre-blending alchemists,” said Spotify’s Vazquez, comparing Alejandro’s trajectory to that of versatile hitmakers like Bad Bunny and Camilo. “Rauw’s creative sensibility, earworm hooks and irresistible collaborations have repeatedly helped position him at the top of the charts.”

Alejandro seems to have found his spiritual match in another chameleonic artist: flamenco fusion star Rosalía. After a few months of socially distanced courtship — and an August sighting outside the Nice Guy in West Hollywood — the two posted cuddly selfies on Instagram in September. (“BlissssSSS,” wrote Rosalía in the caption.) Alejandro had been openly professing his crush on Rosalía in interviews since 2018: “She‘s the most beautiful woman there is,” he once said on Primer Impacto.

The two finally met while brainstorming in the studio for his 2020 single “Dile A Él.”

“We started sending each other mixes,” he said, explaining how snippets of Rosalía’s vocal melismas made their way into his 2021 trap-bolero, “Aquel Nap ZzZz.”

“I love her mind,” he said. “We talk about sounds, concepts, audio plug-ins. She’s very knowledgable. She’ll hear my mix and say, ‘you should change the EQ on that.’”

After Alejandro’s week in Puerto Rico, the young couple absconded to Mexico, where they lounged in a private pool and painted their faces like skulls for Day of the Dead. But vacation doesn’t come easy for Alejandro; he’s still tinkering with “Trap Cake Vol. 2,” the upcoming “sexy underground” sequel to his 2019 mixtape, which he’s releasing for “the fans who knew me from the SoundCloud days.”

It may seem strange that Alejandro waxes nostalgic for salad days spent broke, bummed out and recording trap songs in his bedroom. But now that he’s jetting across oceans to grace red carpets, and possibly winning his first Latin Grammy on Thursday, he can say they were well worth it.

“It took some time, but now that I got your attention,” he said, “let me show you what else I can do.”

DeWalt Reciprocating Saw Blades (6 Piece ) $10

Good variety of quality blades. I have bent these blades hitting concrete, bent them back and been able to keep cutting. You can get a 10 piece set for the same price here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004TSS…dGbHA1YRAE

Only problem with the 10 piece is you don’t get the cutting tooth variety that the OP linked to. Depends on your needs but good deal for either.
