A proven solution of choice for many of the world’s top educational institutions that have adopted a multi-platform approach, the Parallels solution also met the school’s other critical requirements, such as the scalability and stability of the platform. The challenge for IT was to provide a stable platform that enables Mac OS and Windows environments to co-exist, providing teachers the option to switch between operating systems seamlessly as needed, enabling them to be as effective as they can be in doing their jobs – without being restrained by operating system and computing environment issues.Īfter careful evaluation of a number of similar solutions, St Peter’s Girls’ School chose to deploy Parallels Desktop® for Mac Business Edition, which allows teachers to run Windows and Mac applications seamlessly side by side without rebooting, thereby enabling them to provide a richer teaching and learning environment. Also, as the school is expecting additional computers in 2015, scalability was also a critical requirement for us.” “We needed a cost effective, easy-to-use solution to manage the school’s current stable of 100 staff machines running both Windows PC environment and Mac OS X® platform, without disrupting operations or draining resources. “The school’s growing Mac user base, the increasing frequency of use by staff, and the inevitable need to support Windows-based business critical applications had likewise increased management issues, causing tremendous strains on the school’s IT department,” St Peter’s Girls’ School Information and Communication Technology Manager, Nicolas Cronis, said. ![]() In recent years, the use of Macs at St Peter’s Girls’ School has increasingly proved effective, both as a teaching and learning tool. Known for providing quality education, the school also maximizes each student’s learning potential by leveraging on IT as a teaching tool. The school provides the highest quality education from Pre-School to Year 12 in a stimulating, caring and supportive environment. St Peter’s Girls’ School is one of Australia’s most innovative girls’ schools, acclaimed for its academic excellence, caring atmosphere and strong community spirit. It offers South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) as well as being an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World School teaching both the Junior School and the Diploma Program in Years 11 and 12. St Peter’s Collegiate Girls’ School is an independent school based in South Australia. The challenge for St Peter’s Girls’ School was to provide a stable platform that enables Mac OS and Windows environments to co-exist, providing teachers the option to switch between operating systems seamlessly as needed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To an outsider the acquisition of fame and wealth would lead to happiness, but G-Eazy points out multiple downsides on previous tracks such as “Me, Myself, and I” and “Don’t Let Me Go.” The instrumental features a piano sample and is simple, yet impactful. “Sad Boy” is rapped from the perspective of an outsider looking in on G-Eazy’s life. However, G-Eazy has become cold and heartless over time, so he gives in to the temptations associated with fame and wealth. He sees his lustful tendencies that created a spiraling relationship as a product of the time he spends in clubs and at parties when it is dark outside. ![]() A haunting and somewhat intoxicating hum opens the track, eventually breaking into a Grace feature that has a similar message to “Intro.” Throughout the verses G-Eazy uses a static effect that amplifies the dark mood. It is, quite possibly, my favorite G-Eazy song of all time. “Don’t Let Me Go” is my personal favorite song throughout the entire album. This track has grown on me and has come to be one of my favorites on the album. G-Eazy also provides some clever pop culture references. On “Calm Down” G-Eazy is once again bragging about his lavish party lifestyle, however, the beat is fantastic and ready to be danced to. Chris Brown and Tory Lanez are featured on the track and provide decent vocals, however, their styles do not seem to mesh well with G-Eazy’s. On “Drifting” G-Eazy talks about how touring and drugs have separated him from a girl that he loves. Big Sean provides a forgettable verse on the otherwise enjoyable track, “One of Them.” G-Eazy attacks the track viciously only to be followed by a lackadaisical effort from Big Sean. The following four songs have very strong instrumentals, but are cluttered with weak features and experimental sounds from G-Eazy himself. Overall this song has much appreciated insight into the more human and introspective side of G-Eazy. Bebe Rexha is featured and provides beautiful vocals for the chorus. He criticizes the lifestyle of fame and lust he has been living and wishes to return to his life before the fame. Confidence oozes off the track and it is an amazing song to get hype to when you need a little extra motivation.Īccording to G-Eazy, the following track, “Me, Myself, and I,” is written from the perspective of his non-famous counterpart, Gerald Gillum. The verses show G-Eazy bragging on the wealth and fame he has earned in such a short time and looking forward to what he has yet to accomplish. He reminds us that his sudden rise to fame was not in fact random, but a combination of his youth, good looks and work ethic. This song is a highlight of the album and a strong opener. “Random” was easily the most anticipated song of the album, and G-Eazy does not disappoint. The slowed down and twisted instrumental builds tension before breaking into the actual album. By reciting the second verse of Dylan Thomas’ poem, “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” he creates an aura of struggle and death. G-Eazy opens the album with a haunting introduction. “When It’s Dark Out” finds G-Eazy struggling with accepting his newfound fame, reflecting on his past and contemplating his legacy for the future. The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 list. Single show tickets are available for $15 while double-header tickets are available for $25.Gerald Gillum, known by his stage name as G-Eazy, recently released his sophomore studio album, “When It’s Dark Out”, December 4, 2015.

The updated record includes the original 17 tracks as well as two new cuts: "Years to Go" featuring Goody Grace and "Lifestyles of the Rich & Hated" with Rick Ross.īut that's not all G-Eazy is delivering this month.
