The possibility of winning a record deal and getting his music out is what tempted Dons. The winner was promised a deal with a record label. Dons became well-known in Latvia in 2003 after joining a local reality show - a la Fame Factory. He sang his first song when he was three and started playing piano when he was five years old. Every song on the album is an extension of him, his history and his standing here, in this world as a person.Having learned the greatness of music early, Dons always knew that music was his one true passion. “Lights On” is a product of Dons, his past, present and future. ![]() The song "Jaded" talks of breaking through and keeping an open mind even though life kicks you in the face at times. “When Love Turns To Pain” touches the subject of the mixed emotions love sometimes makes us feel. It's an emotional story bringing up subjects most people can relate to in one way or another. Together they have created a powerful and exciting record. He has matured and mastered his skills to almost perfection in collaboration with Swedish producers K*Bros and Peter Manson. “Lights On” is Dons second album released almost two years after his first record. He never goes for easy targets! Having experienced times of denial, disbelief and fear of music in his childhood, Dons has re-discovered his faith and is now unstoppable at what he does best.

Learn more about the Abilify gambling injury lawsuits. The Abilify gambling addiction injury cases will now move forward to bellwether trials in New Jersey and Florida in the early summer. Hazam serves on the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee and the Science and Expert Sub-Committee for the multidistrict case.Ĭlose to 600 lawsuits have been aggregated in the multidistrict Abilify litigation over claims Abilify causes compulsive behaviors, including uncontrollable gambling that can lead to extreme financial losses. The courts held four days of joint hearings last year on causation issues, and a further “Science Day” earlier in 2017 reviewing expert scientific testimony from both sides. The challenges to consumers’ cases there centered on the drug companies’ criticism of plaintiffs’ evidence, but the court found that the information presented in consumers’ pleadings was “sound and reliable,” predominantly satisfying the relevant evidentiary requirements. Casey Rodgers issued a decision on March 16th finding that “consumers have shown their … evidence is sound and reliable and that there is a genuine dispute of material fact over whether Abilify can cause compulsive behavior.”Ī similar ruling favorable to aggrieved and injured plaintiffs over Abilify side effects was issued in related proceedings in New Jersey affecting 50 parallel cases. "We are grateful to the patients and researchers who made this major milestone possible.Plaintiffs have successfully defeated Otsuka Pharmaceutical and Bristol-Meyers Squibb’s motion to dismiss multidistrict litigation relating to alleged compulsive behavior side effects of the widely prescribed drug Abilify. We hope that the use of Abilify Asimtufii in treatment plans will have a positive impact on those living with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder," said Johan Luthman, executive vice president, R&D, Lundbeck. "This approval is important news for patients, families, and healthcare providers. The once-every-two-months, long-acting injectable formulation in 960 mg and 720 mg prefilled syringes delivers sustained plasma concentrations similar to that demonstrated in studies with aripiprazole monohydrate once-monthly, long-acting injectable, resulting in similar sustained efficacy. The aripiprazole concentrations of Abilify Asimtufii were explored in a pharmacokinetic bridging study which was a 32-week, open-label, multiple-dose, randomized, parallel-arm, multicenter study (N=266) in patients living with schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. The efficacy of Abilify Asimtufii is based on the adequate and well-controlled studies of Abilify Maintena (aripiprazole) in the treatment of schizophrenia or maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder in adults. "This approval underscores Otsuka's commitment to innovate and continuously evolve to meet the needs of the communities we serve." Apixaban was found to be non-inferior to conventional therapy (i.e., enoxaparin followed by warfarin) in the treatment of acute venous thromboembolism. "We are pleased to offer this new treatment option for people living with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder that may delay the time to relapse," said John Kraus, M.D., Ph.D., executive vice president and chief medical officer at Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc.

This was in stark contrast to another group who rode that same wave. I remember a gig at the Lyceum with plenty of Nazi salutes, which they were clearly embarrassed about (and obviously didn’t endorse) but did nothing to deflect. The show was disrupted and eventually abandoned, despite Pursey’s valiant efforts.Īlthough it’s forgotten about now another band with a far-right presence did very little deter it: Madness. Within a short period, the whole of the downstairs was controlled by the BM, while we all stood bewildered in the circle. ![]() The BM were out in force and they were randomly attacking anyone in the downstairs part of the venue. It was said to be revenge for Jimmy Pursey’s alignment with Rock Against Racism. The worst of this came at Sham 69’s farewell show at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park in 1979. They may not have been a mass movement, but they managed to spread themselves in a fairly frightening manner. Outside of demonstrations, the threat from the Front and British Movement was still ever-present on the streets of London, then. They’d obviously been shielded by the police, but the confrontation they wanted – there had been a strong vote for far right parties in that area at a recent council by-election – never materialised. My other memory is the almost total absence of the National Front that day. I’d seen lots of fighting on the streets in the 1970s, mainly after football matches, but I’d never seen a police presence on the street like that day. Took me hours to get there and when I did it was utter chaos. The London A-Z was my constant companion. I’d only moved to London two months before and everything was strange and bewildering. It was also the first time I’d be on a demonstration. Memorable for a few reasons, chief among them was my 18th birthday. In addition to his mix, Bill Brewster has supplied us with his memories of the time, posted below: ![]() We’re delighted to bring three huge talents to the table – DJ and author Bill Brewster, UK reggae phenomenon and member of The Slits Hollie Cook and the legendary photographer Dennis Morris.

Wet your face first: "It’s important to start out by wetting your face with warm water to soften your facial hair,” says celebrity barber Ray Santos. "The most important is making sure the blade isn’t dull as that can increase the potential for ingrowns and irritation," says Dr. Penzi also recommends electric razors for those with ingrowns since they cut the hair above the skin surface.Īvoid dull blades: no matter what razor you use, always make sure it’s sharp (switch it after a few uses) since a dull razor will wreak havoc on your face. They do, however, shave close enough to maintain a low stubble that looks nice and even unnoticeable. ![]() But compared to safety razors, they aren't always better.Įlectric shavers, especially those with heads, definitely won't give you a closer shave than blades simply because of the lack of contact between the heads and the skin. Safety razors also give a closer shave than most razors-despite having only one blade!-because of how sharp the blade is (and so long you know the right technique).įor cartridge razors, it mostly depends on the blade design-more blades or fewer blades. Straight razors give the closest shave possible because of a sharper blade that directly touches and cuts closer to the skin. However, if you're concerned with the type of razors-electric, cartridge, safety, and straight, it all comes down to your personal needs and skin type. ![]() What Type of Razors Gives the Closest Shave?Īs established above, razors with more blades pave way for a closer shave, but not without drawbacks. Lauren Penzi recommends multi-blade razors since they often provide a closer, easier cut that'll involve fewer strokes and therefore less friction and irritation. However, for men with coarser, thicker hair, Dr. Brendan Camp recommends razors with a single or double blade. Which is why if you're prone to razor bumps or ingrown hair, Dr. "It’s best to use as few blades to get the results you want to reduce your risk of irritation and razor bumps."Ī single-blade design can also provide a close shave if you know the right technique. While many might go for a five-blade design since it'll shave faster and closer than a three-blade or one-blade (because fewer strokes are needed), some dermatologists argue that a five-blade might be overkill-more blades can lead to more friction and thus irritation, says Dr. "It is important to consider how many blades as multi-blade razors can offer a close shave, but also risk additional irritation," says Dr. While each purchase only offers five blades, the fact it's only $20 makes up for that. Not only is it easy to wield, but its rounded exposure can also help prevent cuts. This classic design from Parker is made with fine stainless steel and has a nice weight and feel in hand. but if you want to achieve the absolute closest shave possible, then you could consider a straight razor. Straight razors are probably the toughest type of razor to master-they're also very old school and are a Hollywood favorite. $22 at Amazon Credit: Courtesy of Retailer ![]() How far did the car travel in the entire 4 hours?

The directory you want to add can be found in the Overview tab of Titanium Backup. Just like with photos, you'll want to add a new folder to the BACKUP tab in BitTorrent Sync. I set the modified data check to run daily and the new app check twice a week (Wed and Sun). The defaults are reasonable, but I like to update them to run more frequently. There are two profiles that come pre-setup with Titanium one that backups new apps, and one that checks for changed data in previously backed up apps. In order to keep an updated backup, you need to enable scheduled backups in Titanium Backup. Setup Scheduled Backups in Titanium Backup Note that Titanium Backup requires root to run. Note that, by default, BitTorrent Sync will not backup over cellular data, but that can be changed in the settings if you have the data available to do so. Once complete, your devices should connect and being transferring data. Now, from the BitTorrent Sync client on your computer, add a new sync folder using the secret key generated on your phone and a location for the backup on your computer. Make note of the secret key that is generated. Tap the add folder button and select the DCIM folder from your sdcard. Simply launch the BitTorrent Sync app and select the BACKUP tab. Photo BackupīitTorrent Sync makes photo backup a trivial process. To follow this guide, you'll need to install Titanium Backup and BitTorrent Sync on your Android device and BitTorrent Sync on your computer. The beauty of this method is that there's no middleman you need to trust with your data as it's encrypted from end-to-end. With BitTorrent Sync being available on Android, this means you can simply and securely make a backup of your Android device to your home computer using Titanium Backup and BitTorrent Sync from anywhere.
