YFL KELVIN RELEASES NEW VIDEO “BANDS ON TOP OF BANDS”

YFL KELVIN FEATURED IN DEF JAM’S UNDISPUTED COMPILATION, OUT MARCH 8TH

READ “HOW DEF JAM PLANS TO RECLAIM ITS HIP-HOP CROWN” ON BILLBOARD.COM

“Cleveland is on the map in a big way… YFL Kelvin is certainly in the conversation of one of the most refined sound behind his ability to channel his come-up story.”

“YFL Kelvin is an Cleveland based emcee who has been battling adversities his whole life but his musical talent is about to change everything for him.”

ABOUT YFL KELVIN

For YFL Kelvin, hip-hop is the soundtrack to his struggle. “My story is rags to riches,” the 21-year-old explains. The Cleveland native has found solace in music since his father was gunned down—in an accidental shooting—when he was just five. Kelvin began recording out of his home studio, but music was secondary to the lure of the streets, taking his rap name from his biological father and the aspirational acronym “Young, Flashy, Lifestyle.”  

The street life landed him behind bars on three occasions, “My little brother is in jail. Like, everybody who I used to be with is in jail.” No matter the tribulation, it doubled as a sonic inspiration. In 2016, his beef with a former friend sparked his first major release, “Mayweather Freestyle.” “I knew I was destined then. Something good was going to play out from all the tragedy that I’ve been through.”

2018’s “NASDAQ” would be the rocket that’d catapult Kelvin beyond Cleveland, released on YouTube the hit song has generated over 300k views. The remix with Moneybagg Yo will lead Kelvin’s first project, Out of Here.

Collector Cars Auction in Paris

Leave a reply

Based in Neuilly-sur-Seine for 25 years and well established in fourth place among the auction houses in France, Aguttes will this year organise three sales of classic cars in Paris.

Taking place at 4PM on Sunday 17 March at the Espace Champerret, the Spring Sale will give enthusiasts and collectors the opportunity to acquire one of the 69 cars chosen by the Aguttes on Wheels team. Covering the years 1927 to 2012, a wide range of different cars with a colourful past will be offered for sale; you can already admire them by consulting the online catalogue. 

 

Among this selection of 69 cars, the presence of several first-class collections should be noted. To mark the firm’s centenary, no fewer than 21 Citroëns are presented in the catalogue, including one of the most amazing European collections, featuring no fewer than 11 Traction Avants with unique or unusual specifications, produced in the factory at the quai de Javel or at Slough and Hammersmith in England. 

Comprising three delightful Italian models, the collection ‘Il Fascino Italiano’ will be sold at auction; it will bring together an iconic trio made up of the Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 SS, Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 and Fiat Dino 2.4 Spider. A keen collector of Maseratis, their owner decided to diversify his collection by acquiring these three models several years ago.

Unusually, Aguttes will also offer a collection of three Honda motorbikes for sale. One is an RC45 VFR750 in road trim, while the other two had a proud history in competition. The Honda RS 250 R SPL in Rothmans livery is one of the rare competition models built for private customers in 1992, while the RC45 Endurance competed in the 1999 Bol d’Or and finished 5th at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000.

For many years now, Aguttes has regularly turned the spotlight on motorsport in the pages of its catalogues. On this occasion too, you can marvel at some splendid cars which have contributed to the history of the sport. Among them, a Group 4 Audi Quattro which is a perfect replica of the car driven by Michèle Mouton when she became the first woman to win the San Remo Rally in the World Rally Championship. Another era and another champion: in 2002 Jutta Kleinschmidt finished second on the Paris-Dakar driving a Mitsubishi Pajero MPR9, with which Stéphane Peterhansel won the Rally of Tunisia that same year. Fully reconditioned today, it will be sold with a large stock of spare parts. Finally, one of the four Fiat 508 CS Balilla Aerodinamica Mille Miglias still in running order today will be one of the stars of this auction. Estimated at 200,000 – 300,000 €, this stylish little car with its very clean and innovative lines has been in the same ownership for 49 years and is now in very good condition with an elegant patina.

Ibach, as President and CEO of Sleep Number, is a recognized leader in sleep innovation and believes that quality sleep has the power to move society forward.

“Quality sleep is the center of a healthy lifestyle – I believe it is the single most effective way to renew your mind, body and soul. My goal is to create a community where people learn how to achieve better quality sleep and therefore improve their overall well-being,” said Shelly Ibach, President & CEO of Sleep Number, and newly named Sleep Editor-at-Large for Thrive Global. “I believe sleep can and will change the world by making society kinder. Quality sleep needs to be viewed as a badge of honor; at Sleep Number we share our SleepIQ® scores every day, which keeps the importance of sleep top-of-mind and a pride point.

As Ibach shares in the first editorial feature, Good Morning, “Through sleep, we can impact society with greater compassion, more connection, more kindness and more courage. No matter what your defining ideals are, or what your goals and ambitions might be, sleep will help you reach them.”

AUTOMATED CAR DANGERS

Warning: Automated cars and their operators fail to detect dangers

Automated cars are becoming more common, but they still require drivers to react to dangers that aren’t detected by an automated system. New research from Rice University and Texas Tech University has found that drivers often fail to spot hazards missed by automated vehicles, and it only gets worse the longer drivers ride in them.

 

The study, “Driver Vigilance in Automated Vehicles: Effects of Demands on Hazard Detection Performance,” will appear in an upcoming edition of Human Factors. 

 

The researchers examined the behavior of 60 licensed drivers operating an automated car in a simulator. Participants were told that due to the automation, they would not need to operate the steering wheel, brake pedal or accelerator pedal. They were instructed to monitor the roadway for vehicles that were stopped dangerously at intersections and intruding into the driver’s lane, which constituted a hazard that automated vehicles could not detect. Participants also had to distinguish between vehicles that were safely stopped and dangerously stopped at intersections.
 

The drivers’ accuracy dropped between 7 and 21 percent over the 40-minute simulation. Even in the first 10 minutes the success rate was, at best, close to 88 percent, suggesting that all drivers missed at least some hazards.

 

So why did this happen?

 

Pat DeLucia, a professor of psychological sciences at Rice and the study’s co-author, said that one possibility is that people get used to cars doing the driving and become complacent. Coupled with previous research that indicated people are terrible at monitoring for hazards that only happen every once in a while, and that over time their ability to respond decreases, the new study “suggests that this phenomenon of difficulty monitoring effectively over time extends to monitoring an automated car,” DeLucia said. 

 

“The bottom line is, until automated driving systems are completely reliable and can respond in all situations, the driver must stay alert and be prepared to take over,” said Eric Greenlee, an assistant professor of psychological sciences at Texas Tech and the study’s lead author. “And this research clearly shows that is not happening, and gets worse as time passes.” 

 

The researchers hope this work will add to the growing body of research about the safety of automated cars. 

 

“These vehicles have a lot to offer, but we’re a long way from being able to detect everything going on,” the researchers wrote. “Until that day comes, we hope this research will raise awareness about the limitations of automated cars and their operators.” 

 

The study was co-authored by David Newton, a graduate student at Texas Tech.

Leave a reply

Toledo, OH singer-songwriter Mat Kerekes has released a music video for “Ruby”, the lead single off his forthcoming solo album, expected later this year. The music video, which sees Kerekes perform the song alongside his newly assembled live band, is out now HERE.

“Ruby” was released last December alongside the announcement that Kerekes had signed to producer Will Yip’s Elektra Music Group sub-label Black Cement Records. His forthcoming album will follow Tiger Jaw’s heralded 2017 album Spin as the label’s second release. Earlier this month, Kerekes treated fans to an early listen of the album’s second single “Diamonds” and shared a surreal accompanying music video. Watch it HERE.

Best known as lead vocalist of celebrated alt rock band Citizen, Kerekes presents his softer side and showcases his versatility as a singer-songwriter on his new solo material. Incorporating elements of pop and alternative, his upcoming album boasts massive choruses, dynamic arrangements, and infectious melodies.

This evening, Kerekes will kick off a month-long North American tour in Cleveland, OH. Jetty Bones and Jacob Sigman will provide support. Tickets for the tour are available now. A complete list of upcoming live dates and ticket information can be found HERE.

Noah Kahan “Mess”

Leave a reply

Today, Noah Kahan debuts his new single, “Mess,” from his highly anticipated debut album set for release this spring. Listen to “Mess” HERE!

Produced by Kahan’s frequent collaborator Joel Little (Lorde, Khalid), Noah wrote “Mess” last fall while he was home in Vermont in between sold out tours. Of the song, Noah explains, “My life has taken a 180° turn. I’m on a very different path than what I thought I would do. I get nostalgic for the locale where I grew up because the scenery is so beautiful. Going from this to bigger cities and tours is crazy for me. The truth is—regardless of where I’ve gone—my parents still yell at me to pick up the dogs’ shit when I’m back home.”

 He continues, “‘Mess’ is a song I wrote during a very overwhelming and generally sad time in my life. Being able to work on this song and bring these feelings to light was a lifeline for me, and I hope it provides you with similar comfort.”

 “Mess” follows the global success of Kahan’s breakout singles, “Hurt Somebody” and “False Confidence.” With over 200 million global streams to date, “Hurt Somebody” is triple platinum in Australia and gold in Canada, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland and New Zealand; and it peaked at #1 on the Top 40 radio charts in Australia for three weeks, making it the third most played song on the Australian airwaves in all of 2018 where Noah has become one of the most buzzworthy new acts. “False Confidence” continues to grow with over 15 million streams to date and is currently sitting in the top 5 at Triple A radio in the U.S.

 Noah Kahan will be hitting the road with James Bay this month on his North American tour, performing at New York’s iconic Beacon Theatre for two nights on March 12 and 13 and at Los Angeles’ The Wiltern on March 25. He will also be joining Dean Lewis on his headline tour in Europe and the U.K. in April. See the full list of upcoming dates below. Tickets are available now at www.NoahKahan.com/tour.

 In two short years, music quite literally carried 22-year-old singer, songwriter and artist Noah Kahan around the world—a long way from his native Strafford, VT (pop. 1,045) and the 133-acre tree farm where he resides. On the trip, the alternative troubadour notched an international hit in the form of “Hurt Somebody” [feat. Julia Michaels], while his singles “Young Blood” and “False Confidence” also racked up millions of streams and he sold out headline tours in North America, Europe, and the UK and hit the road with artists like George Ezra and Leon Bridges. Not to mention, he has garnered critical acclaim from Billboard, Stereogum, Clash, Idolator, and more. In the midst of this whirlwind, he assembled his upcoming full-length debut album. The first single “Mess” illuminates his marked growth as a songwriter and storyteller by way of its biting lyrics and undeniable sing-a-long, underscoring a heartwarming and often hilarious portrait of hometown longing.

How to Reduce Belly Fat

Leave a reply

Top 5 tips by Registered Dietitian Ilana Muhlstein on how people can reduce belly fat for bathing suit season

  1. What are foods to eat to reduce belly fat?

Water filled veggies are great for helping you lose weight, and stay regular so you can relieve bloat. Some great examples are tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchinis that are rich in potassium, which can also help release water retention you may be carrying in your stomach.

  1. What are some foods to avoid?

Research has shown that cortisol, our stress hormone, can cause abdominal weight gain. Meaning that if you are stress eating, you will likely not just gain weight, but gain it in your lower stomach. Therefore, it is a good idea to ab-void stress eating in general and find better coping strategies for dealing with stress. Examples are calling a friend, taking a walk or long shower, doing yoga or another workout, meditating and/or journaling.
And the foods we reach for when stressed are typically higher in fat, refined carbohydrates, and sugar, which can be addictive and lead to excess weight gain. Therefore, it is a good idea to keep these trigger foods out of sight and out of mind, and not buy and bring them home, especially during stressful times.

  1. How to keep belly fat off for good?

Clear the counter tops of sliced bread, jars of cookies, bowls of candies, and boxes of cereal. And replace it with great things that can be helpful immediately if feeling hungry like a water cooler, boxes of cherry tomatoes (my daughter reaches into these daily for a quick snack), and a bowl of apples. You should also have things out that keep you thinking about your healthy lifestyle. Some examples are a tea or coffee station; some veggies that need cooking like spaghetti squash, turnips, and onions; and a Shakeology or smoothie station (if there is still room).

  1. What are your favorite core-flattening recipes?

I like to make a chocolate Shakeology shake with half a cup of water, half a cup of coconut water, ice, and a scoop each of the Shakeology Power Greens and Digestive Health Boosts. This recipe tastes like delicious chocolate ice cream, but is only 250 calories. It also has 20g of protein which helps stave off hunger and cravings, and 13g of fiber which helps keep you regular, (because constipation is definitely not “core flattering”).

  1. How do you limit sugar intake?

I always keep a little “mommy drawer” that contains mint gum in the kitchen. I find that if someone is craving chocolate, brushing his teeth with mint toothpaste could crush that craving. And chewing gum makes it really hard to also chew a mouthful of pasta or teriyaki beef stir fry.
Also the PB& J sandwich swapped for a PB&J Wonder Whip. In a bowl, add plain Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, and honey or stevia to taste. Whip it up very well, and top with sliced grapes or strawberries.
