Apple fans that have the older, and more popular 15-Inch MacBook Pro Model with Retina Display need to check their serial numbers on the Apple Support Website to see if their model is affected. The support website can be found here. While Apple sold the popular third generation 15” MacBook Pro from 2012-2018, the specific models affected were built and developed between September 2015 and February 2017. Aside from using the serial number found in the apple logo under the “About This Mac” tab, the laptop itself is usually labeled “Macbook Pro *Retina, 15-Inch, Mid 2015). If your MacBook Pro is part of the recall, Apple will replace the battery for free. This is great news for those who have had the computer for awhile and the battery was already on the down-hill slope of not holding a charge quite as long. While this recall doesn’t extend any remaining warranty that you may have on your computer, getting a brand new battery can help pro-long the useful life of your machine. Apple has announced that this recall is not affecting the other MacBook Pro Retina Display models, such as the 13” MacBook Pro from the same years. When asked about Read more…

Need New Beats? Make Them With XYbeatZ!
Amped Studio, the online DAW, has just added another great addition to its growing arsenal of devices with a totally unique approach to rhythm creation. XYbeatz is a midi generator/controller with a collection of drums beats from around the world that can be combined into multiple combinations by moving around the XY interface. With over 250 midi beats you can mix, match and blend beats or separate drum parts to create a cool set rhythm pattern or record live while moving around the Interface to get a changing groove over time. Okay but WTF is XYbeatZ? Let’s try this; take a killer midi drum pack with beats from every continent but Antarctica and an XY pad with 4 Zones and each corner holds a selected drum beat. Include 2 modes, one for complete beats and another for just the selected drum parts, a rhythmic complexity slider and you have it. If you move the indicator to the center it plays a combination of all 4 beats, if you move it to the far corner it plays just that beat. You can record and move around the XY pad and create new rhythms. With the Parts mode, you can make easily Read more…

Special-Needs Teacher Dies Rock Climbing In Yosemite National Park
Patricia “Trish” Stoops, 57, was a teacher at Norman N. Glick Middle School in Modesto California. She was rock climbing with a team in Yosemite National Park and had taken the lead to try and get the team down before dusk. Something went horribly wrong and she fell, causing a fatal blow to her head. Michael Stoops, her brother, wrote online, “She had taken the lead to get the team down before dark and something, what exactly still isn’t clear, went horribly wrong. She did not survive the fall, unfortunately. No one else was injured.” Touching tributes are pouring in from “The Mountain Project” where people are sharing loving memories of the teacher who, “[had a] heart of gold”. Some of the posts made on the tribute page state: “I never met a climber more dedicated to supporting our tribe than Trish. She selflessly gave of her time, leading skills, friendship, and humor to anyone in the vicinity. Funny, spontaneous, gregarious, and sincere, Trish made an impression on anyone she met.” “She was a unique human being, spreading good vibrations around the Universe,” wrote a fellow climber. Another said, “Goodbye to my dear 20 year climbing friend. I will miss Read more…
Smashburger Kicks Family Out Over Boy’s Service Dog
Popular burger joint Smashburger is under fire for kicking out a family that had come to the establishment with a service dog. Megan Moon and her family were attempting to eat at a Las Vegas Smashburger with their service dog, Medic, who helps Megan’s 9 year old diabetic son. The service dog is trained to react when the boy’s blood sugar is off balance. However, one of the managers at the burger joint saw the dog asleep and allegedly told Megan “I see you have a dog, he’s not allowed to be in our store. We don’t allow pets. You’re going to have to eat outside.” Moon says the manager made things worse by saying, “I’m not allowing it to happen. Let’s just not make a big deal out of it.” However, Moon replied back, “I am going to make a big deal about it.” Following the exchange, the manager canceled the family’s food order, reimbursed them for the cost of the meal and told them to leave the restaurant. Moon tells KTNV, “We were embarrassed. There were other people in the restaurant looking at us like we were causing a scene… like we had done something wrong.” According to Read more…

Walmart Customer Allegedly Punches 72 Year Old Walmart Greeter In The Face
Mohinder Singh Randhawa, 72, who has worked for Walmart (NYSE: WMT) for 15 years, was allegedly punched in the face by a customer on June 14, 2019. Randhawa, who was standing in the greeting location at the entrance of the Walmart store in Cypress, Texas, said that he was reviewing the customer’s receipt when he noticed that the shopping cart contained gatorade that had not been paid for. Randhawa told the suspect, “you can scan and take it” adding that he didn’t imply that the suspect was stealing but that every once in awhile a cashier can miss an item. At this point, suspect Craig Valentine, 42, became agitated and in the security video, it appears that Valentine pushes Randhawa before punching him in the face. The attack, which caused Randhawa to black out, ended up breaking his upper lip and a cut of about half an inch was left on his face. Randhawa says he is now afraid to return to his job post as a greeter for Walmart. He states that he was only performing the duties that the job calls for and that now “[he is] scared to work that position.”
Tax Free Income that Doesn’t Tax Your Social Security
Under the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development and insured by the Federal Housing Administration, The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program utilizes home equity in three ways. Tax Free Income, Purchasing a Home and Establishing an Appreciating Equity Line of Credit. HECM tax-free income during retirement is a huge benefit for seniors. The tax-free income is generated from home loans from a senior’s primary residence based on ages 62 or higher. Equity home loans are not characterized as income, so they’re not includible in the provisional income test for Social Security taxation. That is an additional value for seniors. One of the most significant uses of HECM tax-free income is to delay Social Security benefits until age 70 for those seniors who retire at age 62. When you take your Social Security at age 62 you’re only receiving 25% of your full retirement benefit. By waiting until age 70, your benefit plus any cost of living adjustments, along the way, will increase to 132% for those born between 1943 and 1954. By using a tax-free income from a HECM loan, seniors can still retire early and maximize their Social Security benefits. At age 70 they have options: They can Read more…
