![]() Peep and FAE signed the contract at the heart of the dispute - which Rolling Stone has obtained and reviewed - in August 2016. ![]() “Any type of contention that this was a mere business agreement flies in the face of the multitude of facts that say otherwise,” Womack’s lawyer, Paul Matiasic, tells Rolling Stone. Womack’s new documents say that FAE “undertook the task of controlling and managing personal life,” including his “eating, drinking, sleeping, allowing for his personal hygiene, procuring driver’s license/identification cards … living arrangements, buying and providing furniture, co-signing leases, securing and paying for utilities, money management, budgeting, paying taxes, identifying, paying for, transporting, and accessing health care providers and therapists, exercise, social activities, drug use, personal safety, and well-being.” Åhr, nor does it cover managing or controlling his personal life, including his use of drugs.”īut on Monday, December 30th, a week after FAE filed its response, Womack filed an amended complaint that fires back at the label’s claim that its business agreement with Peep was “arm’s length” in nature. “The JVA does not cover personal or protection services to Mr. Åhr was purely contractual and purely business,” FAE’s lawyers write. But in last week’s response to Womack’s lawsuit, FAE repeatedly stresses that its relationship with Lil Peep was a strict “arms’ length business arrangement,” as constituted in their joint-venture agreement.įAE’s response points to a clause of the joint-venture agreement that states that “each party is responsible for its own actions and will not be jointly and severally liable for the actions of the other Party.” The company’s “ relationship with Mr. “I felt very protective of him from day one,” Stennett told Rolling Stone earlier this year. In October 2019, Åhr’s mother, Liza Womack, filed a lawsuit against First Access Entertainment, the management and label services company that signed the rapper to a multiyear contract in 2016, claiming that it played a part in her son’s death - specifically, by allegedly pushing him “onto stage after stage in city after city, plying and propping him up” with illegal drugs and having him sign an “asymmetrical joint-venture business enterprise” in which the company also breached contract on multiple counts.įAE CEO Sarah Stennett has, in the past, claimed a personal interest in her client Lil Peep.

Lil Peep, real name Gustav Elijah Åhr, died on a tour bus in Tucson, Arizona, in November 2017. But looming over all those projects is a legal question about the circumstances of Peep’s death - and the music industry’s role in it.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The performance of the towers varies depending on the weather, but Vittori’s aim is to create a structure that would enable the community to extract up to 100 litres of water a day without the reservoir running dry. like the tree, the ‘warka tower’ the team’s first project serves as important cornerstone for the community, and the future ‘warka village’ to come. “Warka Water is currently represented by a tower that reaches up to the sky to collect moisture from the air and brings it down by gravity to the people,” Vittori says. A fabric canopy shades the lower sections of the tower to prevent the collected water from evaporating. Rain, fog and dew condenses against the mesh and trickles down a funnel into a reservoir at the base of the structure. The tower consists of a bamboo frame supporting a mesh polyester material inside. Vittori is currently developing a lightweight wooden tower – which is quick and cheap to build without any power tools – that harvests water from the atmosphere via condensation. A Warka Water tower can collect up to 100 liters of drinking water per day. “Warka Water is a philosophy looking at the environment and different possibilities to collect and harvest water in a sustainable way,” he explains in the movie, which Dezeen filmed at his studio in the countryside outside Rome. How does the Warka Tower collect water WW is designed for harvesting dew and fog and also for rain collection, providing varying amounts of potable water throughout the year. Through the Warka Water project, Vittori is investigating alternative water sources for remote communities without access to running water. Warka Tower is designed to harvest water from the atmosphere (rain, fog, dew) providing an alternative water source for rural populations that face challenges accessing drinkable water. It will generate 7 bamboo Warka houses, 2 Warka towers to collect around 40 to 80 liters every day of drinking water from the air, no flushing Warka sanitation systems using composting. “Once locals have the necessary know how, they will be able to teach other villages and communities to build the WarkaWater towers.” Each tower costs approximately $550 and can be built in under a week with a four person team and locally available materials.In this exclusive movie, Italian architect Arturo Vittori explains how his wooden Warka Water structures can provide clean drinking water for rural communities in the developing world. “WarkaWater is designed to provide clean water as well as ensure long-term environmental, financial and social sustainability,” Says the Architect. By harvesting atmospheric water vapor in this way, it’s estimated that at least 25 gallons of potable water can be sustainably and hygienically collected by the towers every day. As droplets form, they flow along the mesh pattern into the basin at the base of the towers. Inside, a plastic mesh material made of nylon and polypropylene fibers act as micro tunnels for daily condensation. through the fusion of local knowledge and resources, visionary design, and ancient traditions, warka water is working to dramatically improve the lives of villagers in rural communities. The large 30 foot, 88 pound structures are made out of juncus stalks or bamboo woven together to form the tower’s vase-like frame. Warka Tower from Warka Water uses a mesh net to collect water from humid air. The WarkaWater Towers were inspired by the local Warka tree, a large fig tree native to Ethiopia that is commonly used as a community gathering space. Additionally, many women have little choice but to bring their young children along, which not only puts them in harm’s way, but also keeps them out of school.

Many songs, books, and sermons have been written about this prayer. These desire to do the will of God, as it is done in heaven meaning not so much by the inanimate creatures, the sun, and moon, and stars, as glorified saints and holy angels, who do it voluntarily and cheerfully speedily, and without delay constantly, and without any interruption and perfectly and completely.“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” Matthew 6:10 The will of God may be said to be done by us, when our wills are resigned to his when we patiently submit to every adverse dispensation of providence when our hearts and actions are, in some measure, conformed to his law when what is done, is done in faith, with a view to his glory, and without dependence upon it of which such only are capable who have a spiritual understanding of the will of God, believe in Christ, receive grace and strength from him, and are assisted by his Spirit. ".thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."Ĭhrist says "thy will" not the will of wicked men, nor the will of Satan, nor a man's own will, but the will of God: by which is meant either his secret will, which is the rule of all his proceedings both in providence and grace is unknown to us, till facts make it appear is always fulfilled in heaven and in earth, and sometimes is fulfilled by those who have no regard to his revealed will and is what ought to be submitted to patiently, and without murmuring: or rather his revealed will, which consists partly in the declarations of his grace and mercy as that salvation is by Christ, whoever believes in him shall be saved, that all the redeemed be sanctified, persevere to the end, and be glorified and partly in the commands enjoined his people, which will of his is good, perfect, and acceptable. In this petition the disciples were taught to pray for the success of the Gospel, both among Jews and Gentiles for the conversion of God's elect, in which the kingdom of God would greatly appear, to the destruction of the kingdom of Satan, and the abolition of the kingdom of the beast, in the latter-day which will usher in the kingdom, of the mediator, he will receive from his Father, and this will terminate in the kingdom of glory: in a word, not the kingdom of nature and providence is meant, which always was but the kingdom of heaven, which was at hand, nay had taken place, though as yet was not very visible, and which is spiritual in the hearts of God's people, Jews and Gentiles and which will appear exceeding glorious in the latter day, and at last be swallowed up in the ultimate glory all which must be very desirable by the sincere lovers of Jesus Christ. The following is an excerpt from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible about this verse saying: "May God's will be done, that they too, earthly by their first birth, may be reborn of water and spirit, and begin to be heavenly." Bible Commentary on Matthew 6:10 However, as Cyprian of Carthage explains, this petition pertains not only to Christians but to unbelievers as well. "Let our intelligence, then, be moved to seek God, let our desire be roused in longing for Him, and let our intensive power struggle to keep guard over our devotion to Him." Let our body which was taken from the earth likewise serve the Creator, and not war against the spirit.

Limiti, 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz), Paris, France, 2019, pp. Zhang, 2018 International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT), Nanjing, 2018 The antenna is fabricated and tested where good experimental results are noticed compared to the simulation results. The maximum simulated radiation efficiency approaches 96%. The measured gain of the suggested design is enhanced from 10.4 to 12.8 dB at 28 GHz whereas a minor change is noticed at 38 GHz. The two orthogonal antennas’ overall size approaches 34 mm × 55.8 mm × 0.203 mm 3. The suggested structure has been designed on CST Microwave Studio 2019. The envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is enhanced and the diversity gain (DG) is improved simultaneously. The simulation results have been shown that the measured mutual coupling between the array elements is improved from − 32 to − 45 dB at 28 GHz and from − 22 to − 59 at 38 GHz. To minimize the isolation between the MIMO antennas elements with low complexity and low cost, the antenna elements have been distributed along the z-direction with half-wavelength spacing between elements including Electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure in between them. The two elements may be part of two separate MIMO distributions. So, instead of using two enclosures to serve two sectors, only one enclosure is required. ![]() ![]() The orthogonality of the two antennas allows the use of two antennas on the same substrate within one enclosure to serve two sectors separately. The two antennas are modified compact Vivaldi antennas operating in the two recommended 5G operating bands 28 and 38 GHz with measured impedance bandwidth of 26.5–40 GHz. The proposed antenna consists of two orthogonally polarized antennas. In this paper, a novel design for a 5G base station (BS) antenna is proposed. ![]() ![]() ![]() What I get from them is an overwhelming sense that they’ve seized power and control but what’s lacking to me is their ability to translate that into caring and compassion for their people. I haven’t drawn from any of that experience - because I’ve been to Burkina Faso, I’ve met a couple of dictators. I’m interested in those countries in Africa where there are leaders who have such great resources but haven’t been able to take advantage of them and use them for their own country. Mugabe is one, obviously Castro is another. ![]() I’m very interested in third-world country where dictators have taken power and taken advantage of their population. Did you take any influence from real-world leaders or politics? Your character is a sort of dictator and the game deals with themes of nationalism.

I also know that Far Cry 6 is going to open up a whole new world in terms of all the games they’ve done before. I would have liked to pick his brain about how it works, but I know from game to game it’s very different. He said he enjoyed his time working on Far Cry 3 and was excited I was going to be a star in Far Cry 6. I mentioned to him that I was doing this game and said I was going to ask Ubisoft to show me what you did. ![]() I didn’t consult with Michael, but we did have a conversation at the premiere of Better Call Saul season five. I come from theater, so it was a way for me to explore this new world and get back to my roots, as well.ĭid you consult with other actors who have done performance capture work in games while shooting Far Cry 6? Your Better Call Saul co-star Michael Mando actually starred as the villain in Far Cry 3. To use just your physicality and face and emotions, it reminded me a bit of doing a stage play. So, when Far Cry 6 came up, I was interested because we never completed the movie and I was also just getting comfortable working in this space. I found it challenging, but it introduced me to this whole world. I had some experience with director Wes Ball on his film Mouse Guard before it got shelved during the Disney-Fox acquisition, so I had about a week and a half of working in a motion capture suit. What was appealing about this project that made you want to step back into gaming? ![]() He got on the phone with THR ahead of the Far Cry reveal to talk about his return to gaming and the influences he drew from for the role. Khavari says Esposito “really took him under his wing.”Įsposito, who stars as Moff Gideon in Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian, joins Far Cry after having appeared in Payday 2. “It’s going to feel very fresh.”Īcting alongside Esposito is Coco‘s Anthony Gonzalez. “This is a performance that people are going to be excited about because he really decided to do a very different twist on Antón,” says Khavari. To secure Esposito’s involvement, the team flew to New York and met with the Emmy nominee in what Khavari calls a “giant loft space.” During the four-hour meeting that followed, for which Esposito had prepared extensive notes, they discussed Castillo’s history and motivations. To hear narrative director Navid Khavari tell it, once that father-son dynamic had been locked into place, there was only one person they wanted to voice Antón Castillo: Giancarlo Esposito. The developers at Ubisoft Toronto behind Far Cry 6 didn’t want President Castillo to come across as a one-dimensional villain, so they gave him a 13-year-old son, Diego, who he’s grooming as his successor.

![]() I did not apply any effects before or after so what you are hearing for all 3 speakers is exactly as it sounded in my listening room. I simply set a Zoom H5 audio recorder about 6 feet in front of the speakers and recorded the room as music played. And that isn’t even considering the compression of the audio by YouTube but I still hope it gives you an idea of the amazing audio quality that all 3 speakers put out. It will sound much better on your desktop PC with good speakers (imagine how good it would sound with a set of Kanto YU2 speakers) than it will on your phone’s speaker. You can get a feeling for that in the attached video test but I realize that is dependent not only on the recording I make but the way you are listening to it. Granted, I didn’t totally crank the volume but I also didn’t need to as the music filled the room more than adequately at less than medium volume levels. I found that even at fairly significant volumes, the YU2 speakers didn’t distort and the sound retained significant clarity. As they were considerably smaller I had expected a sharp drop in quality and volume and that in fact never happened. While I am discussing the YU2 speakers first here, they were actually the second pair that I tried after the YU4 set. To say I was shocked by the sound of these would be an understatement. As simple as that, you are ready to play music. The YU2 speakers also come with a power cord, manual, and rubber feet to install on the speakers. Plenty of attractive choices so that beyond great sound, you can mix and match to suit décor. There are White Gloss and White Matte, Black Gloss and Black Matte, Bamboo, Teal Gloss, Red Gloss, and Grey Matte. The YU2 speakers I had were gloss white but all YU speakers are available in 8 eye catching colour configurations. Finally, there are right and left speaker terminals to which you connect the (included) speaker wire and run it to the passive speaker which also (and only) features right and left speaker terminals on the rear. The rear of the active speaker also features a volume know which also turn the power on and off for the speakers. Both the 3.5mm cable and the USB DAC cable are provided with the speakers which is nice as that isn’t always the case. There is also an AUX (auxiliary) connection featuring a 3.5mm jack input for connecting with your tablet, smartphone, or other devices. The primary speaker is powered as it features a built-in amplifier and soundcard that allows you to connect directly to a computer using a USB DAC (Digital to Audio Converter) cable and providing a high quality audio connection. On the theme of bass, there is also a subwoofer out jack on the back of the speaker to add even more meat to your music.Īll of the YU series feature a powered speaker and a passive speaker. There is a bass port on the rear of the speaker that was designed to help with bass response and eliminate low frequency turbulence. The YU2 has a 3” composite woofer and a ¾” silk dome tweeter and has a peak power output of 100 watts. ![]() As such, little real estate is taken on your desk or shelf. Marketed as “desktop speakers” and referred to on the Kanto website as a “desktop mini-monitor”, the YU2 stands 5.9” tall, 3.9” wide, and 5.3” deep. The Kanto YU2 is the smallest of the 3 sets under review but do not let the slight size fool you when it comes to volume or clarity. I will discuss all three here on their own merits and I also have a brief video that tests them out. I had all 3 models for several weeks and put them through their paces. Amazing contours and sleek lines do nothing to hide or take away from the quality of the builds or the performance on offer. Aesthetically, all three models under review are alarmingly elegant in their simplicity. ![]() Now, while I am unable to attest to any long term value or product longevity as this is my first foray into the world of Kanto products, I can indeed say “vision achieved” when it comes to quality and style. According to their website ( ) their vision is to “build quality products with style – and offer excellent value to customers throughout their life cycle”. This blog will review the YU2, YU4, and YU6 series of speakers and give you an idea of why these may well be the speakers you’ve been looking for.įounded in 2007 and based out of the Greater Vancouver area, Kanto designs and makes speakers, subwoofers, speaker stands, and cables.
