The ambient music project shows a remarkable gift for stunning soundscapes.
The brainchild of Venezuelan born Luis Novo, LOON’s ambient compositions are unique in that they actually have a mass pop appeal. While the music is soothing and calm, the melodies are inspired by Novo’s years of performing live with pop and rock bands. These elements all combine to make his new album a one of a kind listen.
Opening with the title track, LOON immediately invites you into a welcoming world of swirling synths. Appropriately titled, ‘Elevation’ gives you the feeling of being lifted up by a higher power. The harmonies steadily grow before building up to a dramatic crescendo. As the synths gradually fade into ‘Surrounded,’ time seems to disappear. The beat-less, slow burning style of composition makes every song feel like a part of a whole, adding up to one grand statement.
Across the album’s eight tracks, LOON creates just enough subtle variations to keep listeners fully engaged. From the gentle two note motif that haunts ‘Down The Stream’ to the otherworldly high notes of ‘Flowing,’ every track is full of new surprises that show more and more depth with every listen. Even for those who don’t consider themselves fans of ambient music, ‘Elevation’ is emotionally engaging enough to reward numerous replays. For those who already love ambient music, ‘Elevation’ may become their new favorite album.

Making the switch from traditional on-campus to an interactive online experience
LOS ANGELES, California – June 19, 2020 – American English College (AEC) is a family-owned Intensive English language school that’s helped international students achieve their educational goals for the past 30 years have finally launched their first online English program, and it’s gaining worldwide recognition.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools were the first to shut down, causing an alarming drop in study abroad interest and student enrollment. Thinking ahead, AEC began planning the need to shift online in early March, and in a matter of weeks, launched an online pilot to test internally with teachers. This required additional hours of instructor training to ensure the active, engaging, and communicative style of their in-person courses would translate well online. Switching all lesson plans and curriculum to be adapted for online learning, AEC focused on ways to improve the educational quality by taking advantage of technology. Managing students expectations without compromising on quality was the goal. And amidst the chaos of a looming pandemic, AEC has and continues to provide the utmost support to students and teachers.
American English College’s website (www.aec.edu) states “Our interactive, live online English courses are taught by experienced, native-speaking teachers who truly care about our students.” The Director of Admissions went on to note, “It was important to us that students continued to progress academically, keep on their educational path and feel confident about their visa statuses in the USA. They rely on us, and there’s no question we would put in the work for them. Thankfully, our students have continued to recommend us to their friends – even those back in their home country – and we’ve seen a steady interest in our online program.”
AEC has committed to continuing their online program for Summer Quarter, which starts July 6, 2020 until September 25, 2020. Students around the world are welcomed to join in live, face-to-face with an AEC teacher and other international classmates. Online English courses are offered in 6 levels, from beginning to advanced, with an average student age range of 18-28 years old. Like other schools, there is no denying that the coronavirus has impacted overseas F1 applicants, but they are viewing this as an opportunity to double down on improvements. They have launched new marketing initiatives that highlight current student’s experiences and testimonials.
At American English College, our mission is to provide English as a Second Language (ESL) students with an excellent, comprehensive, and affordable education in the English language for their personal success.

Quentin D James or Sargeant Q rather has another song titled “Fool” in which describes the type of lifestyle lived, before realizing that music was his passion. The song goes back to when he was in the Northern Virginia streets of Arlington. As a highly respected leader, Quentin eventually experienced what we all fear; Dishonesty and Loyalty! After getting word from the streets on who it was that robbed him at gun point, it was then that he soon realized that and I quote: “The ones closest to you are the ones you must watch.” Looking for another way to make money, shortly after, he moved away and started focusing on his music. Quentin’s famous quote noted in the lyrics of “Fool” is “You can fool me once, but you wont fool me again” in terms of being fooled by his right hand man, not letting him or anyone else do the same. Quentin D James has gone as far as performing for a variety of crowds and is definitely on the up and coming aspiring artists’ radar!
A creole Native, Quentin began rapping about a life lived that even his own family didn’t know about. From drugs, money, and gang affiliation, Quentin was able to keep his head above water, rarely being in the spotlight for law enforcement. Quentin James has also managed to keep it a big secret almost living a double life from family members. Being involved in numerous fights and gang initiations, Quentin then became known as in the ranking of a “Sergeant”. Living in the city of Arlington Virginia created the other life that Quentin was sustaining. Hiding it very well from his family, he could not hide it in the streets of Northern Virginia. Being detained on several different occasions, Quentin almost always found a way to get out of the trouble he always seemed to be a part of. In college, Quentin James continued to show this type of life while being a highly recognized academic leader throughout his college years being involved in the Honors Society, Student Government Association, and the President of the Ambassadors Program.
After graduation, Quentin wanted better for his life and in doing so, making an effort to get out of the affiliated gang, he moved away, getting far away from Northern Virginia as possible. Quentin James has joined and became part of an organization called “Samaritan Women” which helps the girls rescued from human trafficking, have their life back! He started his career in the music business learning what it took to be on the positive side of things. As for today, Quentin James is known as “Sargeant Q” in today’s hip hop culture.

In survey comparing UK and USA consumers, Choicy found that CBD needs more education to have a future in the UK
New data from a study conducted by Choicy demonstrated that a third of people in the UK do not know what CBD or cannabidiol products are. With participants from both the United Kingdom and the United States of America, the survey compared consumers over the age of 25 from both countries.
Choicy reported that more education is needed in the UK, where 31% of the UK population answered that they didn’t know what CBD was compared to only 12.5% of Americans. As well as this, only 18.2% of UK participants disclosed their knowledge or have tried CBD, compared to 40% of USA correspondents. In the USA, some states have even gone as far as to implement the legalization of cannabis, so unsurprisingly, more Americans are conscious of this industry. With more awareness in the UK, it is expected that this understanding will progress just as much.
Where one-fifth of UK correspondents held positive attitudes to the development of CBD, these results suggest that the British public are open to the use of cannabis products. Tougher restrictions on cannabinoids still exist in the UK from the 20th century, but there has been recent development on government policies. Since 1993, the British Home Office has begun to support the cannabis industry by providing businesses with licences for industrial hemp cultivation.
Despite having a higher understanding of products in the USA, the reputation of this industry is similar in both countries. Over half of Britons answered that they would not use CBD and 47% of USA participants agreed. With only a 2.9% difference in negative perceptions of CBD products, the data suggests that the change for this industry comes from wider understanding and progressive change.
A percentage of British consumers held positive perceptions of the industry and with developing policies in the UK, it seems that there could be a further expansion for this industry. Although the UK has a long way to go in legalizing the product, the growing awareness and lower negative perceptions of cannabinoids suggests that the UK has a future with the cannabis industry.

The rapidly rising R&B star honors his fallen friends on moving new single
Since being named Kentucky’s 2019 R&B Artist of The Year, FAIF has been steadily gaining momentum in the music industry. Although the versatile artist is capable of writing hook packed, party jams, his latest single strikes a melancholy note, as he reminisces about lost friends, addressing them by name as he struggles to reconcile with his grief.
On March 3, 2014, FAIF was the sole survivor of a fatal car accident that took the lives of two of his best friends. As he struggled to make sense of the event, music gave FAIF a path out of the darkness. ‘Fallen Tears,’ is the result of a long period of mourning, but more importantly, it represents the artist’s determination to honor his friends by making the most of his remaining years. Anyone has ever struggled to find meaning after a tragedy will find light and inspiration in this moving track from a gifted young artist.
‘Fallen Tears’ is available everywhere June 26, 2020
