"It's been great, honestly," she told Fox News Digital "Me being a single mom of two boys with no financial support from their father "And for me, my passion and love is acting and producing. So, in order for me to do that, I have, you know, my side job with OnlyFans which helps to facilitate my other passion of acting and producing it's been really a wonderful outlet for me." Broderick is mom to sons Kannon, 14, and Keaton, 13, whom she had with ex-husband and former NFL player Glenn Cadrez Roderick starred in the popular series Baywatch in 2000 and compared her OnlyFans content to the kind of photoshoots she did for adult magazine Playboy "I do beautiful art photos like I did when I was in Playboy but I do try to make them very artistic and very beautiful and very meaningful," she said "You only put out there the images that you love and that you want, you know, the world to see. Whereas when you were doing Playboy, you really had no control over it. So, it's like I'm my own Hugh Hefner Newsweek contacted Roderick's representatives by email outside of office hours for comment Roderick has posted 751 photos to her OnlyFans and has almost 94,000 likes on her profile The actress described loving the experience because "I could be my own boss." I have creative control of doing whatever I want to do," she said She has also appeared in films such as The Nanny Diaries and Starsky & Hutch, and competed in The Celebrity Apprentice. Roderick admitted she has not "had any strange requests" from people on her OnlyFans Carmen Electra who told People in 2023 that the main request she gets from people on her OnlyFans is for photos of her feet "I think it'd be fun if someone asked for a feet picture I don't really have anyone that asks for anything crazy," she added Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and finding connections in the search for common ground Newsletters in your inbox See all FlaglerLive January 29, 2025 | | Leave a Comment The Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center was filled with celebration Monday night as Flagler Schools announced its Teacher Employee and Rookie Teacher of the Year for 2024-2025 during the “Mission: Flagler Forward – The Stars of Flagler Schools” event Joining them in the spotlight as the school-level winners of Teachers Employees and Rookie Teachers of the Year are as follows: 2024-2025 Flagler Schools Teacher of the Year Honorees 2024-2025 Flagler Schools Employee of the Year Honorees The open-to-the-public awards ceremony is an annual event that also honored the reigning Flagler Schools Principal and Assistant Principal of the Year Principal of Matanzas High School and Mandy Kraverotis Assistant Principal of Flagler Palm Coast High School were recognized at this year’s celebration Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Roderick isn't going crazy with her content either It's very similar to what she did when she posed for Playboy The 50-year-old is calling the shots on her content I do beautiful art photos like I did when I was in Playboy but I do try to make them very artistic and very beautiful and very meaningful," she continued "You only put out there the images that you love and that you want it's like I’m my own Hugh Hefner Unlike other content creators, for example Carmen Electra, Roderick's fans aren't hitting her up for strange content requests. They keep it classy and are there for the art. "I don't know that I've had any strange requests, to be honest. I wish I had something fun to share. But everybody is just, honestly, everybody is super respectful and kind. My Playboy fans are just, honestly, really sweet, kind people. I don't really have anyone that asks for anything crazy," she admitted. "I think it’d be fun if someone asked for a feet picture. Maybe I don’t have cute feet? I thought I had cute feet," she joked. "I don’t know, I’ll have to ask Carmen about it." Who could have known back in the 90s and early 2000s that Roderick and others were laying the groundwork and building a following that one day they would cash in on? They were putting in that work, and now they're cashing in. Another truly heartwarming story of hard work paying off. Keep it Brande, we're all rooting for you.

Speaking to GamesRadar+ There are lots of deaths during the premonition which is what normally happens in the opening sequence of a Final Destination movie but we then come out of the eye of a different person in the modern day I think that's going to immediately throw them for a loop It's going to make them lean forward to try and figure out what's going on we love it when you have to lean forward in your seat because a movie is being unpredictable including who's going to die next and how they are going to die This innovative approach is obviously part of death's design (too far?) and as a way to keep audiences from expecting the same inevitable outcome as the film challenges the predictability of previous installments the film is rumored to include some connections to past installments so this isn't setting itself up to be another formulaic installment of random characters either Final Destination: Bloodlines includes a well-rounded cast Fans will also be thrilled to see the return of Tony Todd as William Bludworth in a posthumous performance adding a much-needed nostalgic touch to the film With its fresh take on the franchise and a commitment to delivering unpredictable stories Final Destination: Bloodlines is gearing up to impress through its theatrical release on May 16 You currently use an outdated internet browser.

Brande Roderick the film follows a woman who is forced to return to her family estate following the death of her abusive father where she discovers that the dark secrets she left behind have only grown more sinister with time Also featuring in the cast of the film are Carolyn Hennesy after escaping her abusive father as a teen is forced to return to the family vineyard to settle his affairs upon his death She discovers that the dark secrets she left behind have only grown more sinister over the decades Wineville is set for a digital release September 6th Amie Cranswick has been part of Flickering Myth’s editorial and management team for over a decade She has a background in publishing and copyediting and has served as Editor-in-Chief of FlickeringMyth.com since 2023 Fields of Color features ten new compositions from Belgian tenor saxophonist Matthias Van den Brande Van den Brande is joined by his regular trio members Tijs Klassen (double bass) and Wouter Kühne (drums) supplemented by Jean-Paul Estiévenart on trumpet Van den Brande is not the first jazz musician to be inspired by an abstract expressionist painter: Bill Frisell’s Richter 858 (2005) was written to accompany a series of paintings by Gerhard Richter Nor is he the first composer inspired specifically by Rothko: American classical composer Morton Feldman wrote Rothko Chapel in 1971 after attending the opening of the chapel which contains 14 large site-specific paintings that Rothko completed shortly before his suicide in 1970 But Fields of Color does offer something different from those two albums It’s neither as abrasively avant-garde as Richter 858 nor as ethereal and minimalist as Rothko Chapel it’s elegant Euro jazz in which the two horns are free to float over the rhythm section untethered by a chordal instrument Rothko often left his paintings untitled “Silence is so accurate,” he said late in his career expressing his belief that words could limit how viewers experienced his art This linguistic abstraction gives Van den Brande even greater freedom to interpret the paintings the opening track “Lunar Landscapes” is inspired by Rothko’s last series of paintings untitled but known for convenience as his “black on grays” and created in 1969 but a rather cheerful mid-tempo number that starts with a soft tenor-sax riff soon joined by interweaving trumpet building to a more energetic interplay between the full quartet and ending with a return to the sax riff but supported by drums The group intelligently exploits all the permutations afforded by the four instruments The aptly named “Multiforms” starts with a short drum solo before the whole band joins for a melody with a slightly Ornette-ish to hard-bop feel then explores various combinations that include a sax/drums duet and a bass solo backed by drums – a pairing neatly reversed on “Yellow Fields” which features a drum solo behind which the bassist simply repeats the first five notes of an ascending minor scale “Seagram Murals” gains extra colour from a riff played on a synthesiser (an EWI perhaps) that’s counterpointed by both sax and trumpet at 10:15) starts with a lovely descending motif on Harmon-muted trumpet backed by long notes played in unison by the saxophone and arco bass before journeying across extended unmuted trumpet and saxophone solos and ending with a soft landing of breathy sax and muted trumpet like the most nocturnal of Miles Davis ballads Providing further contrast are three very short interlude pieces (the longest is barely over a minute) that focus on texture and atmosphere: “Chapel I” (mournful long tones from saxophone and trumpet) “Chapel II” (heavily treated string atmospherics with bass punctuation) and “Aeolian Harp” (breathy saxophone harmonics with eerie atmospherics created by These short tracks are the closest the music gets to the sonic equivalent of painterly abstraction One pleasure of the album is discovering lesser-known Rothko paintings The final track “The Subway” was inspired by one of Rothko’s subway paintings made at the start of his career: a surprisingly representational painting of vertically elongated people more akin to LS Lowry than the cloud-like rectangles floating on a colour field one normally associates with Rothko The track starts with what sounds like a field recording of a subway train before the whole quartet rattles along propulsively for an uplifting end to the album In his book The Artist’s Reality: Philosophies of Art Rothko stated: “For like any organic substance But it must move.” And this most satisfying music certainly does that Comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "a6c2cdfde29e9a75cc5e7480b59afa71"

So much so that a movie (starring Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson) premiered in 2017. Earlier this year, it was also announced that a reboot of Baywatch was in development! All these years later, Baywatch still has a hold on us, and members of its cast are still active in Hollywood. But which stars are worth the most? We did some digging and ranked the cast based on their estimated net worth.

Since audio content and emotions can change fast, on the order of tens of milliseconds, the current lack of modeling tools capable of capturing quick, transient changes in human experience that accompany changes in sound is a major hindrance to progress (Larsen and Diener, 1992; Cowen and Keltner, 2017) reports are based on data where there is a single emotional label per song while the song lasts 2–3 min and throughout it there are emotional dynamics that change dramatically This mismatch of data can lead to conclusions being drawn from inadequately small amounts of samples it has not been applied to study the joint effects of audio and focus at the high temporal resolution needed to explain both phenomena as they occur in people’s natural that although decoder algorithms have existed in the market for consumer uses for several years verifying their reliability to accurately capture attention and other attributes of human experience at a high temporal resolution advanced research quality has remained a challenge we used a brain-computer interface algorithm package Neuos™ Software Development Kit (Neuos SDK from Arctop Inc.) for processing data from portable fabric EEG headbands (Muse-S from Interaxon Inc.) in order to measure human focus levels in individuals performing tasks at home while they listened to different audio content through headphones The ground truth focus levels we used were based on each individual’s subjective Since the Neuos SDK product is a relatively new technology we first evaluated the validity of the focus outputs within the experimental conditions once the algorithm outputs were found to be reliable and accurate in this context we use the focus data to compare effects of different sound stimuli on individuals as they carried out different tasks we exploited the high temporal resolution of the decoded data to map between raw audio signals and the focus dynamics we built a model that takes as an input an audio file and predicts from the properties of sound in the audio the corresponding focus levels that human listeners will experience This high resolution modeling enables us to compare between new songs and between genres to gain additional insights about the nature of audio stimuli that drive human focus the most These insights can help produce optimal playlists to increase focus for general audiences improve design of custom soundscapes for work and learning environments and even adapt audio in real-time based on an individual’s focus levels to allow them precise influence over their own mental state completed four sessions over a single week at their own home All participants were recruited from an opt-in screening panel and were distributed approximately evenly across the five major regions of the continental United States (Northeast Only participants who reported normal hearing or vision that was corrected to normal with contact lenses We excluded volunteers who reported using medication that might influence the experiment and who reported neurological or psychiatric conditions that could influence results Participants were native English speakers and a written informed consent was obtained from each participant prior to their participation Participants received compensation for their time The short tasks calibrated the Neuos SDK decoding algorithms to a validated performance level for each participant and afterwards the individually validated model was used to measure each participant’s focus level across the Preferred Task Schematic illustration of the paradigm in each recording session Each session started with 30 minutes of a task selected by the participant (“Preferred Task”) followed by 3 min of arithmetics exercises and two levels of Tetris the video game (each level lasted 1 min regardless of performance) participants answered a survey where they reported on aspects of their experience (e.g. and stress) using linear scale sliders from “Not at all” (0) to “Very” (1) The short tasks were used as calibration tasks and the “Preferred Task” was the test task Participants were instructed to choose a Preferred Task that they could perform in a seated position while listening to audio through the headphones and which they would be happy to repeat in all four sessions Preferred Tasks that were chosen included working At the end of each task the participants self-reported their experience through a survey in the app which used linearly scaled slider buttons to quantify experience along several dimensions (e.g. the survey included reporting on their focus level during the first and second half of the task separately resulting in six self-reported quantitative focus labels per session (Preferred Task: two labels Each participant experienced four audio conditions over the 4 days of the study: two music playlists by leading digital service providers Spotify and Apple (downloaded September 2020) one personalized soundscape engineered by Endel We selected Spotify’s “Focus Flow” playlist and Apple Music’s “Pure Focus” playlist to represent the category of pre-recorded audio designed to increase listener focus For soundscapes we selected the mobile app Endel to represent the category of real-time engineered audio that contains a mixture of noise and musical properties The Endel app “Focus” soundscape was used by each participant on their own mobile device All audio conditions were instrumental and did not include singing or any audible lyrics participants wore headphones exactly as they did in the audio conditions but no music or audible sounds of any kind were played and no soundscape was generated – participants simply completed the session in a quiet environment No technicians or other support staff assisted in the placement of the headbands – the process was completely automated by the in-app prompts within the “Neuos Central” app freeing the participants to complete sessions at any time or place of their choosing Schematic illustration of the data processing pipeline Data acquisition included at-home recordings of four sessions each with a different background sound type Arctop’s Neuos SDK brain decoding technology package was used to predict the focus dynamics at a rate of 5 Hz Obtaining the brain decoded focus dynamics synchronously with the sound content enables comparison of focus levels correlated with different physical properties of sound Brain decoding algorithms designed for real-time brain-computer interfacing (Neuos SDK) was used to transform raw sensor data into predicted focus dynamics with a time resolution of 5 Hz (Figure 2) word and math problems) were used for calibration of the sensors to the focus dynamics of each individual and then a calibrated model per participant was applied on the Preferred Task data across all days The full analysis procedure included data exclusion and applying machine learning models to transform raw data features to decoded focus dynamics is explained below Since brain activity and survey data was collected in participants’ own homes as a quality control step before preprocessing we first validated the data with respect to headband positioning (to confirm it was correctly placed) survey responses (to make sure participants followed the instructions properly) and internet issues (which occasionally resulted in missing measurements) This procedure led to 11 participants data being excluded from further analysis due to the following reasons: 1. Three participants were excluded due to misplacement of the headband which caused excessive noise in their recorded data. To identify the misplacement we simply extracted the standard deviation of the raw signal (SD > 500 reflects a misplaced channel). Supplementary Figure 1 shows three examples of the raw data of problematic participants vs Two participants were excluded for not following the instructions correctly during the Preferred Task Six participants were excluded due to persistent internet issues which caused missing or disrupted data 17 females and 34 males) were included in the experimental analysis A band-pass filter (0.5–70 Hz) was applied to each channel together with a notch filter (60 Hz) to remove line noise 5 s of EEG data segments were extracted from the filtered signal using a sliding window with a stride of 200 ms (96% overlap) to obtain a time resolution of 5 Hz of accurate focus measurements reliably across each task Headband motion sensor (gyroscope) data were used to detect the motion state of each segment (static medium or high movement) and segments with substantial movements (medium or high) during the short calibration tasks were automatically excluded all segments were included regardless of movement state in order to obtain continuous dynamics for the full 30 min ruling out the possibility that the differences in the effects of audio were due to differences in eye blink patterns which may have introduced artifacts to the decoded data From each EEG segment (epoch) a total of 124 features were extracted then to handle outliers and avoid extreme values each feature underwent a programmatic trimming procedure that denoised high and low values (extreme values were defined as above or below 2 SD from the mean) Average power spectrum features – each segment was transformed to the frequency domain using Welch method the average power in different frequency bands was calculated (0.5–4 and 30–70 Hz) – a total of 4 channels × 7 bands = 28 features Ratios between average power for spatial symmetric channels (frontal: AF7AF8 and temporal:TP9TP10) – a total of 2 pairs × 7 bands = 14 features c. Power spectrum interactions – the power spectrum ratio between bands (alphadelta,betatheta,thetaalpha (Barachant, 2017) and engagement index (betaalpha+theta) (Pope et al., 1995) – a total of 4 channels × 4 interactions = 16 features Pairwise Pearson correlations between channels in the above frequency bands – 6 pairs × 7 bands = 42 features Time domain features – for each channel entropy and number of zero-crossing points – total of 4 channels × 6 types = 24 features Average features were calculated across each short task (games word and math problems) for all valid participants and from all days resulting in 816 focus-ranked tasks (51 participants × 4 sessions × 4 ranked subtasks per session) multiple random forest regression models provided by the Neuos SDK software package were trained on random subsets of participants (80%) to predict the self-reported focus based on the computed features from the subset of models for which their data were not part of training the single best model was selected based on the Pearson correlation between the model prediction and the self-reported focus by that participant during the short calibration tasks The selected regression model was then applied to EEG segment data during their Preferred Task 30 min recordings to get a continuous brain-decoded gradient of focus dynamics that was accurate Brain data based focus model dynamics of two representative participants during the Preferred Task performed at each of the four sessions Each row represents a session with a different sound stream playing in the background as participants perform their chosen task Each session included 30 min (x-axis = time in minutes) of a “Preferred Task” over which their focus level (y-axis = decoded focus) was measured Participant 29 (A) was reading while Participant 45 (B) was working We found there was no significant difference between the segments and concluded that the signal processing methods were robust to this form of signal artifact Diagram demonstrating the framework for correlation of time-series focus values with sound properties (A) Example of a recorded brain data in microvolts (single channel of EEG) segment which after applying the preprocessing and trained models on 30 min of recordings transforms to the brain decoded focus dynamics [top (C)] (B) Examples of a sound segment in decibels taken from one of the songs [Bottom (C)] The sound features (y-axis) dynamics during 30 min of recordings (x-axis) To map the relationship between properties of the audio heard and focus levels measured directly from the brain we applied principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of the audio features (using 33 dimensions ultimately We then trained a linear regression model to map between the transformed audio features and the averaged brain decoded focus levels The training was done using backward features elimination where in each iteration the component with the smallest weight on average was eliminated training was done with a stratified cross validation procedure in which we divided the data set to training and validation according to the songs played (to avoid time dependency issues between the sound features) A total of 18 different songs were played during the pre-recorded playlists (8 songs for Apple 14 songs were used in training and 4 as validation (77/23%) the audio decoded score is the average model predictions calculated across the models it was part of in the validation set After calibration tasks established an initial model for each participant, and before comparing focus levels elicited by the different audio types, we validated that the underlying brain decoding technology was accurate and correctly calibrated by comparing between the brain-based focus predictions and the self-reported focus values during the test task (the “Preferred Task”).

of a one-way repeated measures ANOVA performed on each subgroup comparing the average brain decoded focus levels of each sound stream during the Preferred Task Comparison of the brain decoded focus during the Preferred Task while listening to different sounds (Top row) Average focus levels for each sound stream during the Preferred Task for each group of interest (Bottom row) Distribution of the best session (highest focus on average) for each participant per group The groups of interest are: (A) all participants (51) (B) participants who were working during the Preferred Task (26) (C) participants who were not working (25-reading These results suggest that the focus level differences between Endel and Silence are task-dependent where audio was particularly beneficial for specific types of tasks there was no difference between audio and silence The focus level differences were therefore found to also be age-dependent Comparing brain decoded focus dynamics during the 30 min of the Preferred Task Each subfigure shows a comparison between two sound streams while the gray areas are the timings with a significant difference (p < 0.05 corrected showing for each pair the percentage of time and time segments with significant difference (where 100% = 30 min) Seeing that background sound had an effect on focus levels we go further and ask whether music and soundscapes can be composed according to a formula to increase focus levels can we understand which audio properties drive focus well enough to predict focus levels from exclusively an analysis of the properties of the sounds within the audio content Leveraging the high temporal resolution of the brain measurements we generated a prediction model which predicts the brain-based focus level from features extracted from the audio signal alone Raw audio files containing the Apple and Spotify sessions were used to extract different sound properties with a running sliding window of 30 s The personalized soundscape session (Endel) was not used in this analysis because the real-time streaming did not allow saving the raw audio files that were consistent across participants We combined multiple audio features to generate an audio data based model that predicts focus levels (see section “Materials and Methods”) the audio model reaches 87% accuracy in predicting the brain based focus (area under ROC curve = 0.91) Results of predicting brain decoded focus from audio features (A) Training and validation correlations vs number of PCA components used as audio features using backward elimination in each iteration the component with the smallest weight was eliminated (B) Histogram of the validation correlations using four PCA components (PC1 audio decoded focus (x-axis) for all samples and average per song The audio decoded scores were calculated across iterations they were part of the validation songs (D) Confusion matrix after thresholding the focus predictions to classify between low and high focus Classification accuracy obtained: 88% (area under ROC curve: 0.91) For visualization of the decoded dynamics during the 30 min of the Preferred Task, we next trained the audio model using all 18 songs (without cross validation) and the four PCA components as features and projected it on the Apple (Figure 9A) and Spotify (Figure 9B) sessions Smoothed dynamics of brain decoded focus (dark blue) and audio decoded focus (light blue) during 30 min of the Preferred Task for Apple (A) and Spotify (B) The audio decoded dynamics here was obtained using a model trained on all data (all songs) and popular songs from other music genres (classical music where notably sounds from classical music and natural sounds contained properties that predicted the highest focus levels pop and hip-hop songs predicted relatively low focus scores Although we do not have ground truth focus labels for these songs based on real human brain data given the relatively high scores of the audio which were known to have generated increased focus objectively in the experimental data we can conclude that there is a consistent validity to the model Future research can gather ground truth labels for these songs and evaluate the model mathematically in this context Projecting new songs into the trained audio model (A) Sorted focus scores per song obtained by the audio model sorted from the genre with the lowest score (hip-hop) to the highest (classical) sorted from the genre with the lowest variance (natural) to highest (electronic) Focus dynamics for the song with the lowest focus score (D) and the highest (E) “The soundscape of the world is changing Modern man is beginning to inhabit a world with an acoustical environment radically different from any he has hitherto known” said the composer R presaging the time we live in now when the sounds available to us continue to multiply by the day As we have an increasing number of options to modulate our auditory lives by a handful of take-aways from this study standout: Although the effects of audio on the human brain can be subtle in measured brain signals when judging by the changes produced in raw electromagnetic currents they are robust and highly quantifiable with effectively trained algorithms Classifying emotional and attentional responses is particularly useful when done at the sub-second temporal resolution since it allows one to track dynamics continuously over time at the same timescale as the brain functions that impact perception and behavior sub-second resolution into reactions that occur within ecologically valid conditions model the real world in an everyday manner that is missing from experiments that take place within laboratories or other controlled test locations 81.41 and 73.35% for two classes of Valence and Arousal A key benefit of the current approach is that this method of high temporal resolution brain measurement can be performed reliably outside of traditional laboratories In this current study not a single laboratory or facility was used for data acquisition 18–65 years olds across the United States received a kit in the mail that included a head-wearable device and they experienced music playlists and personalized soundscapes while they recorded their own brain signals in the comfort of their own home at the times of their choosing all participants were in their natural habitat wearing headphones and a headband that did not interfere with their experience and they went through the study at their own pace factors which altogether lend the research a rare degree of ecological validity This result suggests that willful orientation of attention toward work tasks may have created a brain context especially suited to modification by audio participants may also have been more prone to distraction and thus more impacted by the positive uplift of audio compared to when engrossed in reading or playing a game which may have contained more intrinsic motivation to stay focused on One limitation of this current study is that it did not allow us to disentangle the effects of personalization of sounds on the listener since pre-recorded soundscapes were not tested a comparison of personalized soundscapes to personalized music playlists where audiences either made their own playlist for focus or were allowed to skip songs whenever they wanted will likely contribute to a more complete understanding of how audio properties correlate with emotion and attention changes Follow-up research will incorporate these variables An additional limitation was the inability to reach conclusions regarding gender-dependent effects which was at least partially due to this study’s slightly imbalanced data set Despite efforts to recruit a balanced group of participants which included even outreach to all genders enrollment was done on a rolling basis as necessitated by the data collection timeline for the research and ultimately the female subgroup was statistically underpowered in the analysis balanced participant sets will be important for reaching more detailed conclusions Future research should also address whether any effects were introduced by the current study design’s sequence of tasks since here we did not randomize the order of Preferred Task and validation tasks The Preferred Task was always first and validation tasks after it intentionally in order to allow for randomization of the background sound stimuli during the Preferred Task session which was done across four groups in this study In future research it will be helpful to randomize the task order also to compare how different audio affects focus levels on different tasks according to a given task’s place within a sequence of tasks Due to this variety observed together with the highest focus being elicited by the personalized soundscapes a next step will include closed-loop selections of sounds where iterative sound testing is used per person to identify the significant parameters for maximizing focus for that person should be investigated further for their capacity to increase productivity creativity and well-being as these attributes of human experience are associated with one’s ability to focus the tailoring of sounds for this purpose of increased focus can be particularly impactful It is possible that the seamlessness of the personalized soundscapes tested here which played continuously without gaps in the sound like the music playlists had between songs was also critical part of the observed effect on focus At every juncture of the experience there is more to be learned a main finding of this study is that there is a strong need for personalization of audio in order to most effectively achieve functional goals like increasing focus which can increase motivation to listen intently to the songs themselves rather than orient toward other tasks Understanding the brain mechanisms that underlay the modified focus from these genres is beyond the scope of this current research but the mapping found here can provide fruitful avenues for future brain imaging experiments that may be equipped to answer these questions We too see the rich mathematical models obtained in this study by mapping audio properties to human experience as a glimpse into the natural laws governing how we feel and think the more empowered individuals will be to modulate their environments to suit their goals and states of mind There remains much to figure out: while we as a species continue to cause a “shift in the sensorium,” we simultaneously experience that shift all over daily life and it is not clear where we as a species are headed This study showed that audio has a distinct effect on our focus levels and paves the way for designing sounds to help us focus better in the future We studied the effects of audio on human focus levels using noninvasive brain decoding technology to gain a better understanding of the optimal audio properties for increasing focus levels in listeners We combined a custom app (“Neuos Central”) and brain decoding technology (Neuos SDK) to enable us to obtain high temporal resolution focus dynamics from participants at home we then analyzed how various properties of audio impacted focus levels in different tasks We found that while performing a self-paced task for a long period of time (such as working) personalized soundscapes increased focus the most relative to silence Curated playlists of pre-recorded songs by Apple and Spotify also increased focus during specific time intervals especially for the youngest audience demographic Large variance in response profiles across participants together with task and age dependent effects suggest that personalizing audio content in real-time may be the best strategy for producing focus in a given listener we generated an audio property based focus model which successfully predicts brain decoded focus scores from audio file alone as an input we extracted predicted focus scores from new songs based on audio decomposition and performed a genre analysis to develop new intuitions about the experimental findings and the sources of focus-producing audio content engineered soundscapes and classical music are the best for increasing focus The approach taken here can be adapted to include other emotions (e.g. attentional parameters (“Flow state,” memory formation etc.) and can be used to assess additional content as well (e.g. including interactive gaming and e-learning experiences where personalization and high temporal resolution measures of brain responses may be especially beneficial The dataset for this study is available through an open Git repository

So, in order for me to do that, I have, you know, my side job with OnlyFans it's been really a wonderful outlet for me." She explained: "You only put out there the images that you love and that you want, you know, the world to see. "Whereas when you were doing Playboy, you really had no control over it. So, it's like I'm my own Hugh Hefner, I guess." The blonde beauty also made clear that she doesn't "show any nudity down below" and tries to bring an artistic and meaninful approach to the images. who was crowned Playboy's Playmate of the year in 2001 played strong-minded Leigh in the beach drama until its cancellation in 2001 Lifeguard Leigh clashed with rival Jenna Avid from nearby Oahu North Shore on the series after the latter tried recruiting her as a spy Brande got the gig after going through four or five stages of auditions including tough swimming and water tests She ultimately passed and became the second character in the spin-off franchise's history to be a helicopter pilot after Allie Reese She had a year long romance with the late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in 2000 and was previously married to NFL star Glenn Cadrez Brande has starred on the big screen too with roles in Starsky and Hutch and Bollywood flick Out of Control Then there have been appearances in reality TV on Celebrity Apprentice and Gameshow Marathon Brande Roderick wants a Baywatch revival The former Playboy model reflects on her time as a star of the hit '90s beach series during an exclusive chat with OK! in line with the release of After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun, which premiered Wednesday, August 28, on Hulu Brande Roderick recently sported the same swimsuit she wore on 'Baywatch' in 2000 Roderick, who starred as Leigh Dyer in the 2000 spinoff Baywatch Hawaii has only positive things to say about her experience working on the set of the beloved television show Because Baywatch brings her such joyful memories it "definitely wasn't hard to go back and recall anything" when participating in interviews for the recently-released docuseries admits Roderick — who stars in and directs the upcoming horror film Wineville which becomes available for streaming on September 10th Brande Roderick recently reflected on her time on 'Baywatch' in a new Hulu docuseries "I say it all time. I don't know anyone that would say, 'going to live in Hawaii and being on a beach every day with beautiful people isn't the best job ever,'" the 50-year-old jokes "It was just so magical being in Hawaii," Roderick recalls "Just the energy that Hawaii brings and we were all like a little family We're on the island and all we could do was just all be together It really made for such a magical experience." Brande Roderick starred as the lead role of Leigh Dyer in the 2000 spinoff 'Baywatch Hawaii.' When thinking about how she played a part in a show that remained "number one to watch worldwide" for so "many years," Roderick feels pure joy "It's exciting that I got to be a part of that legacy, that history," the blonde beauty details. "One thing I think is cool about the Baywatch documentary is that it really goes into not just Baywatch but the culture in that timeframe of life — that '90s Never miss a story — sign up for the OK! newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what OK Brande Roderick was named Playmate of the Year in 2001 "It really talks about a lot of the culture in the entertainment/Hollywood world which I think is kind of cool," she declares "a lot of people are really into the '90s genre right now Plus, it's "always fun to see where [stars] are now, right?" Roderick points out. "To get all these actors back on camera and talking about how the experience was for them, whether it was good or bad, what they're up to now, how Baywatch affected their lives." The 2001 Playmate of the Year concludes: "I think it's gonna be something that people are really going to enjoy watching."

a whole 34ft taller than The Shard It was due to act as a mega hub in Denmark encompassing a hotel office block and shopping centre all into one building Designed by star architectural studio Dorte Mandrup the skyscraper idea had been thought up by Danish fashion giants Bestseller labelled the project a "landmark that places Brande on the map" He first put the idea into motion in the early 2017 alongside the bizarre proposal to create his own town inside Brande with the tower as the grand centrepiece But as Covid hit and the world went into hiding the idea was later scrapped in 2020 with Povlse saying he was shelving the tower for the foreseeable future.
