Barbadian DJ Justin “Jus-Jay” King has released his video submission for this year’s Red Bull 3Style World DJ Championships. Fellow Barbadian DJ, DJ Puffy rose to local, regional and international fame last year when he made the semi-finals of the competition and eventually emerged the winner, receiving a wealth of support from those at home and throughout the Caribbean. Jus-Jay received a similar show of support in the comments of the video on his Facebook page.
This will be the 8th year the competition has been held. The submission period ended yesterday, May 31st, when the video was posted. Hopefuls were tasked with completing a five minute performance video, which they then had to upload to the Red Bull 3Style official website.
Those who will be taking part in the World Tour will be announced in late June and the National Finals for the competition will be held from September through November. As with last year, three global wild card participants will be chosen. They, along with the winners of the National Finals, will compete in the World Finals which will be held in Krakow Poland and receive an all expenses paid trip there.
Watch Jus-Jay’s submission video below.

Darnley has gone full on scoundrel – as he promised – and I am this close to despising him. Not only is he spending all of his time drinking and whoring – discreetly thankfully – he’s going behind Mary’s back and bleeding the crown of all of its money. He even had the gall to show off an expensive necklace he bought for one of his whores. Right in Mary’s face. Just went she needs the same money to fund the relief efforts for earthquake survivors.
While it looked like he’d just been stealing from the crown just as petty revenge against Mary, he had more sinister motives for his actions. The chest, which had been full when he’d shown it to her earlier, had been almost empty by the time she and Bothwell had gone to take it. He’d been using the money to buy the loyalties of Mary’s enemies. Enemies who had been attendance at the party.
When a group of Protestant, English nobles who reside in France refuse to pay taxes because Charles is Catholic, thereby inspiring French Protestants to do the same, Charles is met with yet another threat of rebellion. Not only that, making the wrong move could be seen as an act of aggression toward England.
The threat that Henry poses and his open ambition to take Charles’ crown has rattled him to his core and he wants to prove that he is a strong king. The only problem is that he’s making himself look cruel, not strong.
Unlike Gideon, I was all for Elizabeth killing Jane. The girl was far too much of a threat to her already precarious seat on the throne. Elizabeth was going to carry out the act herself in fact. Ultimately, she couldn’t do it because Lola’s betrayal and execution still weighed heavily on her and Jane was only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.![The Flash S03E23 [FINALE] Recap](https://www.zgemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-Flash-323-Header.png "The Flash S03E23 [FINALE] Recap")
As predicted, Iris West did not stay dead. In fact, she wasn’t even dead to being with! Savitar never killed her because HR used his appearance changing device to take her place and was thus killed. I didn’t expect Iris to “come back” so quickly – certainly not at the beginning of the episode – or for the “solution” to be anything quite like this. The show succeeded in surprising me, but this kind of felt really cheap. I understand why HR did it, given his spiel during the last episode, but it felt so akin to a deus-ex machina.
They really doubled down with the cheese in this episode. Just like Barry did with Abra Kadabra, he tried to appeal to Savitar’s better nature; instead of trying to defeat him he decided to try to be his friend by offering to help him escape the paradox and continue to exist. And as selfless as that seemed to be on the surface, it really wasn’t. As Savitar pointed out, Barry hadn’t in anyway thought about what Savitar would do afterward. Especially not about how much it would hurt for him to see the woman he loved having everything he wanted to have with her with someone else. It was in some ways a half-assed attempt at being kind.
I was surprised that it was Iris who shot Savitar and not Joe. I immediately thought of how it must have felt to her shooting and killing someone who had the same face as the man she loved. It had to have been traumatic in some way. Except that it apparently wasn’t because Iris seemed absolutely fine about the whole thing and completely untouched by it.![Scandal S06E16 [FINALE] Recap](https://www.zgemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Scandal-616-Header.png "Scandal S06E16 [FINALE] Recap")
I would like to take this moment to apologise to Ms. Olivia Pope, for having ever doubted her intuition and for being mad at her for pretty much the entire season. As she said to Fitz in this episode, she’s always right. That proved itself to be true at the very end of the episode when it was revealed that Cyrus Been, the person I believed to have suffered the most throughout this season, was, as Liv had been saying from the beginning, behind the murder of President-Elect Frankie Vargas.
Granted, Liv did expose her as a liar who knew that he would be killed (she didn’t have their children on stage, the same way she requested they be absent for the inauguration), but it did then seem to be that Payas and Marjorie-Samantha-Grace weren’t completely under her control and went off and made decisions on their own without consulting her first. Which, to me, would be totally plausible because she seems like the type who would get in over her head when attempting something like this. And she did.
I’m still a little peeved by some of the behaviours she exhibited and the actions she took during this episode, however. Especially and particularly as involves B613. I did think that it would be a good idea to reconstitute it, I just didn’t like the idea of Fitz becoming Command and I’m glad that Liv put a stop to that. That is not at all where he needs to be or what he needs to be doing. The swiftness with which he changed his mind after Liv chewed him out for it, though, was so indicative of how whipped he is. But he doesn’t seem to mind.
I’m so relieved that Quinn isn’t giving up OPA to run away and raise her and Charlie’s baby in a “normal” life. It’s admirable; the life she leads is hardly one conducive to raising a child. But she’d just gotten OPA and I am so looking forward to seeing what it will become under her leadership. Abby is a good second choice for running it – after Quinn – I suppose. Plus, I hated the idea of her running away and not telling Charlie about the baby and involving him in it’s life.
The films (in the case of Raven by Shani Bannister, the pilot of a series), with the exceptions of Wildflower by Kerry-Lyn Coppin and Calypso Music: The Voice of Our People by Paul Forde, had the same issue; it was obvious what the filmmakers were trying to do but they didn’t quite do it. They introduced the ideas and conflicts that drove the story very well, but they then got lost. They needed more development – some more than others – to hit the targets that the filmmakers were aiming for.
Being Human by Stefan Forde was an almost entirely CGI film about a young man living in a world in which every aspect of person’s life is controlled by an AI and his quest for love. Despite the fact that the CGI and green screen did not look entirely finished and was missing entirely in some shots, Forde still deserves praise for executing his project in such an ambitious manner. Especially when, considering the aforementioned problem it shares with many of the other films, the story was still fairly well realised. Forde managed to craft an emotionally resonant film, with a lovely story.
The best, most touching and most moving film of this year’s Capstone group was Wildflower, by Kerry-lyn Coppin; a semi-biographical film about a young woman who grew up without a father, her relationship with her mother and her attempts to reach out to and bond with him. This was also a film with beautiful cinematography, it was well acted, the imagery was evocative and it was very well edited and written. It was just an altogether amazing film; engrossing and cathartic. Coppin did an incredible job with this production.
Mama Pope is not the mastermind behind everything and is simply a hired gun. Her job was to assassinate Mellie. From the moment Jake and company took her into custody and the first thing out of her mouth was that she didn’t do it, I believed her.
I was shocked when it was revealed that the person behind all of this had gotten to Maya. Only because I assumed that they had turned her into their puppet the same way they had Eli. Anyone who could manage to bring both of them to their knees would be beyond formidable. But then I realised that, Maya being Maya, they wouldn’t have needed to threaten her. All they would need to do is pay her.
I didn’t believe Fitz when he said that he would cancel if he was in her situation. I thought that he believed he would, but I couldn’t see him making that choice. That’s not the Fitz we know. He would have not have let fear make the decision for him. But then he gave Mellie the speech about knowing what it felt like to be shot and the idea of putting the mother of his children through that and I believed him.
Given the preview of this episode, it looked like Liv and Team Pope – mostly Quinn – would have been going head to head over Liv’s flippant disregard for OPA now that she’s back in the White House. It and the episode itself made her look like quite the villain (and she kind of has been all season; I still don’t forgive her for Cyrus). But there really wasn’t much of a rumble.
Quinn could not have had a more perfect case to prep her for her promotion. It was obvious that there had been a miscarriage of justice, but there was no hard evidence to support that fact. It was a case in which Quinn had to rely on her gut, just like Liv always has to and she did. And just like Liv always is, she was right.
I found it weird that David was so concerned about Marjorie-Samantha-Grace’s true identity. The justification was solid; he genuinely cared for her and wanted the truth of this woman who so thoroughly deceived him. It was understandable. But I thought that there had to be a greater narrative significance to his search. Especially because it spanned the entirety of the episode. And I was right.
As soon as they started using feminine pronouns I knew that it had to be Mama Pope. Who else would Liv need her father to protect her from? Maya Pope remains his greatest adversary and it fit that she would be able to bring him to his knees the way Marjorie-Samantha-Grace and Payas had. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds.
Pretty much all of the problems I had with this episode were all about Barry and his attitude and behaviour. He was kind of infuriating, which was a let down considering how endearing he was in the last episode. Amnesiac Barry truly is the best Barry because the one we got in this episode, Arrogant Barry, is by no means likeable.
Honestly, a better reason to give Lyla would have been “We’re trying to defeat an evil speedster.” Why should Lyla care about Iris’ life being in danger when, as she said herself, handing over such powerful and potentially dangerous tech can threaten the life of millions? He did not at all give Lyla the full scope of the situation. He limited the consequences of his not having the power source to just how it would affect just him.
Lyla did end up just giving Barry the power source anyway when he and Snart got caught stealing it. Simply because Barry didn’t leave Snart to die when he could have. That was even less of a good reason than true love and I would have preferred if Barry and Snart had actually gotten away with it. Then, when Barry returned it to ARGUS later, Lyla would pardon him. In all honesty though, I did expect Barry to leave Snart with King Shark. He did say that we would do anything to save Iris.
I expected the speed bazooka to fail (Tracy kept talking about it failing), but I didn’t expect that Iris would die. I thought that they would stop Savitar from killing her, somehow, when the bazooka failed. In fact, at several points I expected the episode to end because I didn’t think that we’d reach the point of Iris’ death yet. I thought that the episode would focus on the theft of the power source and then end. When it didn’t, I thought that as soon as Team Flash assembled at Infantino Street and Savitar showed up, it would end there and that everything that followed would happen in the next episode.
