Jordan toured heavily around Lush, playing nearly 200 shows in 2018 and ’19. In a Best New Music review, Pitchfork’s Ryan Dombal wrote that the album “encompasses the once and future sound of indie rock.” ![]() “Or are you still not sure what that means?” By the time Lush came out in June 2018, Jordan, just shy of 19, was the toast of the indie-singer-songwriter scene, thanks in large part to her pen. Take “Heat Wave,” a single off her 2018 debut album, Lush, when she tells an ex, “I hope whoever it is / Holds their breath around you / ’Cause I know I did.” Or “Stick,” one of the first standouts from her 2016 EP, Habit, which she rerecorded for Lush: “And did things work out for you?” she wails. The incisively intimate rock music she makes as Snail Mail stands out for its ability to put the most difficult emotions to words in sharp, piercing phrases. Lindsey Jordan made her name as a songwriter. Last year Akio Toyoda, the 53-year-old grandson of the Toyota founder, was named as president to steer the Japanese automaker through the global economic downturn, bringing the corporate titan back under family control.“I went from being a teenage indie rocker to a young-adult indie rocker, and that’s kind of weird.” The system demands that workers be multi-skilled and active team members who constantly look for ways to streamline the production system in what is called the kaizen (improvement) system.Īs the trade war raged with the United States due to fast growing Japanese exports, Toyota began joint production with General Motors in 1984 and started its own production plant in Kentucky in 1988.Īlthough the company has long since become a global behemoth, its top management was kept within the Toyoda family until 1995, when Hiroshi Okuda took over as its eighth president. In the 1970s, during the global oil crisis, overseas Japanese car sales surged and increasingly threatened Detroit, paving the way for the trade wars between the United States and Japan in the 1980s.īut western competitors were also intrigued by the Toyota Production System (TPS), which has since become a global model of efficient management also known as lean or just-in-time manufacturing. Twenty years after it was founded, in 1957, Toyota shipped the Crown passenger car as its first export to the United States, before opening its first overseas plant in Brazil the following year.Įarly versions of Toyota cars were often of poor quality and fared badly on American highways, where big was beautiful and gas-guzzlers ruled - but as their quality improved, they gained a bigger foothold.īy 1969, Toyota’s cumulative exports had hit the one million mark. On August 14, 1945, the day before Japan’s surrender, the Toyota plant was bombed, but the company soon ramped up production again, initially on the orders of American occupation forces. ![]() The family company initially reverse-engineered cars from foreign parts and engineers had built a prototype passenger vehicle in 1935 before the company was formally founded, but then focused heavily on truck production for the Japanese military in World War II. The company changed its name from Toyoda to Toyota because, when written in Japanese katakana characters, it required eight instead of 10 pen strokes - making for a simpler and more auspicious logo, since eight is seen as a lucky number in Japan. The founder’s son, engineer Kiichiro Toyoda, had been researching small gasoline engines for years and toured the United States and Europe. at a time when Ford and General Motors dominated car production in the country, making several thousand vehicles a year each. The company started in 1937 as a division of Toyoda Spinning and Weaving Co. The city in central Japan where it was founded has renamed itself from Koromo to Toyota city. Today Toyota employs more than 320,000 people worldwide and makes over seven million cars a year in more than 50 plants in 27 countries. ![]() Japan’s biggest company by revenue, Toyota overtook General Motors in 2008 as the world’s top automaker while the Detroit giant, now part-owned by the US government, went through a painful restructuring drive. More recently, as global concern has grown about man-made climate change, Toyota became a pioneer in hybrid petrol-electric car technology and in 1997 launched the Prius, the world’s first mass-market ‘green car.’ Along the way, the company redefined how cars are made with its “lean production” and “just-in-time” models that have been studied in business schools and adopted by manufacturing industries worldwide. ![]() ![]() New Staffs!

There are some hospitals that are having to ask patients to bring in their own water with them because they simply cannot get enough supply.” ![]() “The situation with the water is even worse. “If you have even four hours without electricity in a hospital, it is far from normal,” says Castro. As they have continued, Castro and his colleagues have recorded more deaths as a result. Some are short and localised, lasting just a few minutes, others take hours for the power to come back, but some go on for days. Throughout the year, Venezuela has been plagued with power outages. The pumps that drove running water to people’s homes stopped, sending residents on a desperate search for water in nearby rivers, streams and even sewers. Without power, food spoiled in warming refrigerators, traffic lights failed and transport systems ground to a halt. People cooked food with fire and ate by candlelight. Elderly people in high-rise flats had to be carried down stairs. The problems extended beyond the hospitals. “They were taking it in turns to keep these patients alive.” “When the ventilators failed, the nurses and doctors had to do it manually by squeezing a rubber lung,” he says. “These babies need special care and without electricity for the incubators staff in neonatal units had to find blankets to keep the babies warm,” says Julio Castro, from the school of medicine at the Central University of Venezuela, who has been compiling the data for Doctors for Health, describing some of the stories that hospital staff had told him about the power outages.

Unprepared for the sudden loss of power, back-up generators in some hospitals failed while others only had enough energy to keep a few of the most vital wards functioning.īy the end of the five days an estimated 26 people had died in the country’s hospitals as a result of the power outage, according to figures collated by Doctors for Health, a group of concerned medics that have been monitoring the growing health crisis in Venezuela. It was a situation being played out in hospitals dotted all over Venezuela in March 2019 during a five-day nationwide power black out that accompanied the growing political and economic crisis facing the South American country. Without electricity the lifts did not work. But with no power in the nine-floor hospital in Maracay, they had no way to reach it.

These help to expand the puzzle variety and when puzzles begin to utilise many of them at once, the game showcases spectacular game design that will have you scratching your noodle a lot. With more than 120 puzzles to solve, as well as Road to Gehenna DLC, The Talos Principle: Definitive Edition packs in a heap of content and will have your brain teased for many hours.Īs you proceed through the game, you’ll use different key objects and learn new abilities. The Talos Principle: Deluxe Edition doesn't offer any new content to entice people who played the PC version, but I highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't.The Talos Principle contains ingenious puzzles that are required to be solved from a first-person perspective, making your way through mazes and retrieving the tetromino-like puzzle pieces at the end. It's also very cool to play a non-combat game that keeps me interested for hours at a time. I didn't expect a video game to have deep philosophical questions that I pondered long after each session, and I appreciate how it adds the kind of depth seldom seen in games. Add the fact that random momentary “glitches” in the network make it obvious that the whole world is an illusion, and the result is an extremely cool atmosphere similar to the holodeck in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Some parts of the world even look like a modern warehouse with metal platforms and catwalks. ![]() It's really interesting to see the dichotomy between the archaic Romanesque backgrounds and the futuristic elements that include automated turrets and floating drones with laser-proximity detectors. Most of the environment is reminiscent of ancient Roman ruins, complete with crumpling stone structures, towering columns, and broken statues. In addition, Gregorian chanting at the beginning combined with the booming voice of Elohim helps to impart an ethereal feel. I wasn't expecting such beautiful visuals from an indie puzzle game, and they can be truly appreciated thanks to the first-person viewpoint. Later in the game, they become extremely challenging, and I felt a real sense of achievement after solving them. This is just a small sample of the complex puzzles that players will encounter. The only way to make them cross each other's path is to elevate the crystal connectors on cubes. These light beams are another way to deactivate forcefields, but different colored light beams cancel each other out (don't cross the streams!). Eventually, crystal connectors are introduced that let players activate and direct colored beams of light. Soon the complexity increases as it becomes necessary to block the path of drones with cubes, trap drones with forcefields, and indirectly guide drones to blow up turrets. All players have to do to solve puzzles in early levels is re-position signal jammers to deactivate force fields, floating drones, and automated turrets. Like all good puzzle games, the challenge is non-existent at first and then becomes progressively harder. Unfortunately, many of the messages are presented in an offputting wall of text, which can be skipped at the expense of story details. This is an unusual twist that fits with the concept of the story and offers a depth rarely seen in video game storytelling. In addition, players are tested on their morality by answering questions about certain situations, and then they're evaluated on their answers. Not only can players discover facts about the past and read ancient texts, but they can also converse with the computer, albeit in a limited way. Instead of being told what happens via cut-scenes, players must figure it out on their own by accessing various computer terminals. Perseverance is required in solving the puzzles and uncovering the storyline, which I think is very cool. While it may sound simple, the only way to progress is by solving a variety of thought-provoking puzzles that are both fun and rewarding. This is achieved by progressing through different areas and accessing computer terminals. ![]() This godlike creature appears to be the master of an artificial version of the world, and it's up to players to figure out what happened to the real version as well as whether they're A.I. The unusual experience begins with players having their consciousness placed inside a robotic servant of an omnipotent being called Elohim. ![]() ![]() ![]() All of your Customers and Products automatically get loaded into Handshake initially and sync every six hours in our case.

However, each time this has happened the Lord has shown me that the time was not wasted. So I begin to analyze, what did I do wrong? Before long I was discouraged… ![]() The day before I was full of joy, with a song, singing on my way to work. Many times I have come from a morning time with the Lord and felt as though not much has happened. Use the word and the hymns as your prayer and sing to Him. Rather, open to Him, apply the blood, and enjoy Him. Do not seek a feeling, do not try to carry out a concept you have constructed. We should not come to the Lord in the mornings with anything other than a desire to touch Him. He was to bear a son of his wife according to the Lord’s promise. However, God’s way was the normal way, according to life. The result was something abnormal and fleshy, and out of this effort to interpret God’s promise Ishmael came forth representing the line from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. When Abraham heard of God’s promise of a son, his mind automatically went to work. Our mind loves to construct abnormal and abstract imaginations that are not practical or experienceable. When I heard the testimonies of the saints and read in the ministry about a secret, intimate time with God in the morning that carries us through the day, I had grand and – confessedly – religious expectations. Initially I thought it should be like a bolt of lightning. My experience in my morning times with the Lord has been a constant work in progress. (Psalm 119:147)Įvery night we can anticipate the dawn and every morning we can wake up excited to meet with our dear Lover who is new and fresh every morning! I anticipated the dawn and cried out I hoped in Your words. This lovely Person has known us before the foundation of the world and had chosen us in Christ Jesus to be holy and without blemish before Him in love! This love in relation to us is not general or broad, but specific and romantic. So every morning our Lord is waiting, hoping, and desiring to have intimate and personal fellowship with us. At other times we wake up groggy knowing that there is nothing new to look forward to. Sometimes we hardly slept the night before and wake up excited because of a pleasant situation or task that awaits us. Sometimes there is dread within us due to some situation or task we know we will encounter. From the moment we wake up, we begin to prepare for our day. We must come to Him, and then He will meet or need and we will meet His need.Įach day we have a wonderful opportunity. In the parable of the prodigal son in Luke He is the father eagerly awaiting His son’s return, and at His first seeing His son at a distance, He runs to Him. In Revelation, we see that He is very patient, standing at the door knocking, waiting. How wonderful it is to give our dear Lord the first place in all things! God desires to have the preeminence, but He does not force us. (The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1963, Vol. We must cooperate with God’s desire by practicing to give Him a free way to spread Himself into every part of our being. ![]() |
