RAJAR Q2/14: Premier Radio achieves biggest audience in 20 years
From a press release to email@example.com
Posted 30 July 2014, 8.49pm edt
Britain's largest Christian broadcaster reached its biggest-ever audience in its near twenty years history during the three months from April to July this year, according to the latest RAJAR figures.
Premier Christian Radio's weekly reach for the period was 240,700 people in London and the South East, compared with a previous high of 235,000 people in 2011. The new figure also represents a substantial increase from the 97,500 listeners in the first quarter of 2014 and 156,000 one year ago – a 54% year-on-year increase and 147% quarter-on-quarter.
The latest RAJAR figures - the joint audience research measurement system agreed by the BBC and commercial radio – also show that each listener tunes-in to Premier Christian Radio for an average 10.1 hours each week.
Commenting on the latest rise in Premier's audience figures, Programme Director Dave Rose said today; "Our team has worked hard over the past few months to make Premier Christian Radio a must-listen for Christians in the UK. We've invested heavily in improving the quality of our programming and we're pleased to see that our efforts are having a marked effect.
"Our improved on-air output and recently re-vamped website, with listen-again features, will continue to be fundamental in our mission to spread the word of God and celebrate Christianity."
Premier Christian Radio broadcasts on 1305, 1332, 1431 MW in London and nationally on DAB and Freeview 725.

How to use Train up a Child Publishing Christian, Literature-based Curriculum in the Classroom
Transitioning from teaching with textbooks to utilizing a literature-based curriculum in the classroom can result in many questions from teachers. As result, we've compiled the following questions and solutions for those teachers and administrators considering Train up a Child Publishing as their curriculum choice.
Is it really possible to cover the Creation to Modern time periods in a single year?
Definitely! By planning ahead and not overstepping recommended timeframes as outlined in the Teacher's Manual, you can teach all of it in a single year. The important point to remember is that we don't think of students as learning for any single year. We see education as a layering effect, with each year building on the last. Even with a textbook, you cannot cover everything in a single year thoroughly. But rather than re-teaching, which is often done in textbooks during the first few months, we believe in relevant learning that children can hold onto and then build on as the years go by. For example, in 1st grade the focus might be on significant people throughout the units and 2nd graders might study events that included the people they learned about in 1st grade. Think of education as layers like in sedimentary rock, with each building on the other, creating a firmer foundation overall.
I only have so much time for literature, science, history, etc. How do I fit it all in?
One of the positives about using our curricula is subject integration. While using a book for reading, you can be teaching about science, fine arts or history through the content. Vocabulary and spelling can come directly from the literature. Our curricula focus on teaching children to think and learn, increasing their desire to do so in the process.
While subjects have been used for many years in the classroom for structure, we view them as overlapping and integrating in the learning process. For example, we don't see writing as a subject, but rather a life skill that should be incorporated into almost every subject area of study. It takes a little different thinking process for teachers, but in the long run, it is the most natural way to teach and to learn. As well, less time is spent on busy work such as worksheets and creating written tests. More time is actually spent in discussion, thinking and writing. You'll find that the only reason you run out of time with our curricula is because your students don't want to quit working!
How do I evaluate students if there isn't a battery of written tests or workbooks?
Curriculum companies have long reverted to what is easiest to publish rather than what is best. Ironically, although they are easier to grade, written tests and workbooks only grade one type of student learning. With students learning in many different ways, they should also be evaluated in different ways. Some recommendations that we make include:
- oral and written narrations
- book reports
- essay style tests
- lapbooks and graphic organizers
- journaling
- re-enacting/dramatization
- group projects
- paired projects
- artistic and creative expression
Teachers often find that such forms of evaluation give them greater latitude and allow them to evaluate the whole student. It is also encouraging to both parents and teachers to see that the gifts of children are not restricted to how well they do with pencil and paper.
We recommend the use of rubrics, which make it much easier for teachers to give numerical grades. As well, rubrics provide an initial outline for expectations for both the student and the teacher, resulting in clearer communication. Finally, rubrics can be very simply designed and easily documented for teacher and student records.
How do students using these curricula do on standardized tests?
We understand that standardized testing plays a strong role in education as it is used by other schools, colleges and even the federal government to determine if children are learning appropriately. From our experiences, we have found that Train up a Child Publishing students fair as well or better on standardized tests as students who use textbooks. There are cases where some students have actually jumped 1-3 grade levels once they switched from a science textbook to a "whole book" approach. We attribute this not only to higher quality of teaching material, but also to the fact that the student retained more information because it was presented in a relevant and interesting way.
Will my students learn enough if we are spending time reading whole books?
Again, in comparison to a textbook education which skims the surface of many topics, reading whole books immerses students in material which makes it more memorable and relevant. While fewer topics may be covered, retention is usually higher. Also there are methods for filling in gaps that the whole books don't cover. We strongly recommend students doing mini-research projects and presenting information to their classmates. Often a handout or notes on the board accompanying such material may be used. The best way to evaluate whether a person really understands a subject is to have him teach it. So, these presentations are two-fold: you can evaluate the student's work and the student is sharing what he has learned with his classmates. Accountability for other students have presented can be used for evaluation purposes as well by having students journal or answer essay questions based on what other students have presented. Doing a couple of these per day can easily cover any missed information throughout an entire unit.
I looked at your Unit Programs but I don't have time to develop writings assignments and projects for the books. Do you have any suggestions on where I can find ideas?
Suggestions and directions for projects and writing assignments are included in the Unit Program curriculum. There are timeline, map/globes and geography assignment ideas as well as group and individual projects for history, science and fine arts. Oral and written narration suggestions are included. Many of the units have project books that the student and/or teacher can use for ideas.
As another option to our Unit Program curricula, we also have developed Daily Lesson Plans, currently available for first, second, third, fourth grades and one level of middle school. These detailed plans include:
- weekly themes and objectives for history, science, language arts (including spelling, grammar, composition, poetry and more), fine arts, and projects
- class and independent reading lists and assignments as well as references needed, listed by week
- globe, map skills and geography assignments integrated into history reading
- science experiments illustrating concrete science concepts and the scientific method
- vocabulary and grammar exercises (with teacher keys), derived from history and science reading
- charts added as graphic organizers to aid students in learning to take notes
- weekly spelling lists (in elementary grades) and memory work
- variety of web sites listed for additional information or for enrichment purposes, especially at the middle school level
You talk about integrating subjects and pulling language arts skills out of the books. How do I know if I am covering all of the skills for year?
Using our Daily Lesson Plans, you can be assured you are covering enough language arts for the years.
With our Unit Programs, there are checklists and other tools included with the curriculum to assist you in keeping track of student achievement. As well, the Teacher's Manual has suggestions and instruction on how to use literature to teach language arts concepts. For history and science, we mapped out the skills needed by grade level and covered them using the recommended books. The skills may not be presented in the order of a textbook, but they are covered. For examples, rather than cover habitats in one unit, we covered various habitats in the most relevant units such as deserts during Ancients studies and prairies during Westward Expansion. With this method of study, science is more easily integrated with history and geography, and the content makes more sense to the student by providing points of reference.
Is it required that we use your curricula for all of the recommended subjects? Could we try it out by just using it for history at first?
Of course, you can decide to use our curricula how it works best for your school or classroom. We make recommendations based on experience in order for you to achieve the greatest success and value out of the curriculum.
How will parents respond to the use of a literature-based curriculum?
Obviously, we can't speak for every parent, but the majority of responses have been very favorable, primarily due to the fact that children come home excited about what they are learning. When a child initiates discussion about studying history, science, etc. in the classroom, any parent (and teacher) will be pleased. Also, as you involve parents in reading to students, helping with projects and graphic organizers, and even planning educational events, their enthusiasm will grow. Most of us who have been in the classroom as students remember being bored and tired of doing the same type of work every day. To see your child enthusiastic about school is truly wonderful.
Do we have to have copies of every reading book for every child?
No. In younger grades, single copies of many of the books will work because they can be rotated or read aloud in groups. In older grades, you'll want class sets of 5-9 chapter books for the year (one for every unit or so), but other books can be in single or multiple copies depending on how they're utilized. One of the positives of doing unit studies for history and science is that students don't have to be reading out of the same material at the same time. You can have students working in groups, pairs or individually with some books read by all students by a certain time and other books being presented for content without every student reading the material. The point is that the children learn the material which can accomplished in any number of ways.
Can my school afford to buy the books necessary to use your curriculum?
The private school educators that we have worked with previously have used a number of methods to create classroom libraries including purchasing used books, buying books in bulk from discount distributors, having parents donate books and holding fundraisers to help pay for libraries. Some private schools have a large enough budget to get started with our curricula and add a little to the libraries each year. Some teachers even supplement their classroom resources by checking out books at their local libraries to have multiple copies. Finally, parents can be asked to purchase the limited number of chapter paperbacks for their older student as part of school supplies for the year.
I want to use your high school courses in my private school. Does every high school student have to have a copy of each high school course?
It depends. Most schools purchase an annual site license to use our curricula, but if your school is smaller it may be more economical to use group pricing. Contact us for our School and Group pricing policies at firstname.lastname@example.com.
At Train up a Child Publishing, we have a true love for teaching and discipling children, so we want to be an encouragement and support for teachers working with children. We believe that children learn in a variety of ways and that by teaching to those learning styles, there is a greater opportunity not only for success, but also that the children will love to learn. We have an eternal view, longing for children to be who God created them to be, which is most likely when they have been allowed to learn and grow using their natural strengths and abilities.

Creating a Global Bodyguard Network
Today I have the pleasure of presenting at the Unsummit, a local un-conference in St. Paul that is equal parts fun and informative. The format is very relaxed and presentations are rapid fire and not over-engineered. I would say my deck is probably going to be on the over-engineered side compared to others, but I tried to make it as visual as possible.
The story I am sharing is about how Hucky and I created Bodyguard Careers in 2005 and how it has evolved since then into a global leader in the industry for career advice and job placements. The goal was to be funny, informative, and if at all possible, inspirations.

Topic Page: Davidson, Donald, 1917-2003
Davidson's general approach to metaphysics follows a long-standing tradition in trying to derive the basic features of reality from the structure of language. The particular angle he introduces comes from his suggestion that the structure of language and its revelations about the large features of reality are refracted in the effort to formulate a comprehensive, formal theory of truth for a canonically regimented version of natural language (see Davidson, 1984, essay 13; for some criticisms of this approach to metaphysics, see Rovane, 1986).
The most original specific application of this method to metaphysics is to be found in Davidson's claim that such a theory for that fragment of language which contains sentences such as "The boiler exploded", yields an ontology of events. That is to say, it yields the idea that events such as explosions exist as particulars, in the way that boilers do. There is something very natural and appealing about the suggestion because, among other things, it allows for our re-description of the same event in different ways. Thus one can say of the same event that it was an explosion and that it was a domestic disaster (see Davidson, 1980, essay 9; for a different, more universalist view of events, see Chisholm, 1970. For a different view of events as particulars, see Kim, 1976. Davidson discusses the criterion for individuation of events in 1980, essay 8, and in Davidson, 1985.)
Davidson extends the point to sentences such as "Jones buttered the bread", arguing that these sentences about human agency too are to be treated as quantifying over events which get intentional descriptions. He points out that this affords a satisfying theoretical treatment of sentences with adverbial modifiers. In the standard predicate calculus, adverbially modified predicates are usually represented as distinct predicates, but that representation fails to capture the seeming validity of the argument which goes from, say, "Jones buttered the toast with a knife" to "Jones buttered the toast." There is simply no sanction for Ga from Fa. But the intuitive validity of the argument is preserved if we take events to exist as particulars, and treat the canonical representation or "logical form" of such sentences as quantifying over them. Thus we may go from Ǝx (x was a buttering of the toast by Jones, and x was with a knife) to Ǝx (x was a buttering of the toast by Jones) (see Davidson, 1980, essay 6. There are, of course other suggestions in the literature for handling adverbial modification, such as, for instance, that one should introduce not quantification but modifiers of predicates.)
He further exploits the point to give an analysis of sentences citing causes, such as. "His pressing the button caused the explosion." The ontology of events allows him to make a distinction between two different aspects of what these sentences convey: causal relations which hold between events and which are purely extensional, and causal explanations which are intensional in the sense that they, unlike causal relations, depend upon how the events are described (Davidson, 1980, essay 7).
Davidson, then, develops this distinction to provide a solution to the traditional MIND/BODY PROBLEM (see the extended essay). Mental events are identical with physical events, but when we gather these mental events into types, there is a principled objection to their being identical with the types we gather physical events into. This is because unlike the particulars (the tokens of mental events), the types are essentially dependent on the concepts we employ in describing the events; and there are no lawlike correlations between these mental concepts and the concepts we employ in physical descriptions of events. So, at the level of concepts there is no reduction of the mental to the physical, but, as far as ONTOLOGY goes this does not imply a dualism since any mental event is identical with some physical event or other. He calls this hybrid position, "anomalous monism", and the view of identity it proposes, "token-identity" (Davidson, 1980, essay 11).
In addition to token-identity, Davidson's metaphysics of mind posits a dependency relation between the mental and the physical, which he calls SUPERVENIENCE. This is the idea that a psychological predicate will not distinguish anything that is not also distinguished by some physical predicate(s). The underlying motivation for such a dependency was to make a claim in the philosophy of mind parallel to a position in the study of values which both denied a reduction of values to facts of nature at the same time as it did not make values mysteriously autonomous. In positing supervenience, Davidson was able to claim that a denial of a definitional as well as a nomological reduction of mental properties to physical properties was compatible with a dependency relation between them which disallowed one from saying that two things were indistinguishable physically but were different in some mental respect. This allowed the scientific study of physical nature maximum comprehensiveness in its dominion without any concession to mind/body reductionism. More recently he has also invoked supervenience to quell a worry which has loomed at least since Descartes – that the mental is epiphenomenal. In contemporary discussions this worry has sometimes been expressed as the worry that mentality makes no difference to causal relations. (See Kim, 1984 and Sosa, 1984 who raise this worry for Davidson's anomalous monism, in particular. For a response on behalf of Davidson, see LePore and Loewer, 1987.) So expressed, supervenience is not needed to deal with it. The worry is handled in Davidson's metaphysical framework by simply appealing to the extensional nature of causal relations. Since events which enter causal relations are often described in mental terms, mental events (uncontroversially) enter causal relations. But for him it makes no sense to go on to ask whether mental events make a difference to causal relations in the sense that they cause other events in virtue of being mental. Causal relations being purely extensional do not hold or occur in virtue of anything, mental or physical. However the worry about epiphenomenalism is sometimes expressed as not being about causal relations in particular, but more generally as, say, the idea that we may alter (in the limit, even strip all) mental properties without at all affecting the physical properties of things. It is to this worry that Davidson responds by pointing out that if it were true it would contradict the weak dependency relation of supervenience as characterized above. However this subject throws up many questions issuing from modal intuitions about identity, intuitions whose relevance Davidson has always been suspicious of; these questions are at present the subject of much controversy in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind.
There are other aspects of Davidson's philosophy – such as his views on REALISM, OBJECTIVITY and the nature of truth – which may be treated as being part of metaphysics, but because of their integral relation with epistemological themes, are best discussed within epistemology.

Are you planning to visit two or more Paris museums during your next trip to the city of light? If so, you should consider purchasing a Paris Museum Pass. It could help save you time, money, or both, but a note of caution: you have to really use it to its full potential to reap those benefits.
Advantages of the Pass:
Available for 2, 4, or 6 days, the Paris Museum Pass:
- Gives you free and unlimited access to over 60 museums and major monuments in Paris and the Paris region, including The Louvre, the the Musee d'Orsay, the National Museum of Modern Art at the Centre Pompidou, the Rodin Museum or the Notre Dame Cathedral Towers. The card provides priority entry, which means you won't have to wait in any long lines.
- The pass Is reasonably priced:
- 2-day pass: 48 Euros
- 4-day pass: 62 Euros
- 6-day pass: 74 Euros
Please note: These prices were accurate at the time this article was published, but may change at any time.
- Has a one-year use-by date, which means you can purchase the card well before you intend to use it. For example, if you buy a card in June of one year, you can use it for the period of our choice through May of the following year.
- Is accompanied by a pamphlet that gives detailed information on the museums and monuments covered by the pass, making it easy to enjoy the collections and sights to the fullest.
Now for the Disadvantages...
I must admit now that this pass certainly isn't for everyone. If you're unsure about how you wish to spend your time in Paris and don't want to hash out a detailed itinerary for your sojourn, I'd advise against purchasing this pass, for the simple reason that you have to see a lot of museums and monuments to make it financially worth your while.
Those on a tight budget might find the price too high.
As I keep mentioning, it's good value if you see a whole lot-- but otherwise, you'd likely be better off paying full price for two or three of the city's most popular museums with entry fees, and tempering the price by taking advantage of Paris' many free museums and free attractions. For instance, the pass gives you access to Notre Dame's towers (with panoramic views of Paris); but without the pass, you can still see the main areas of the cathedral for free. It's a question of weighing your budget, your preferences, and deciding whether it's likely to be worthwhile.
Okay, It's Settled. Where to Buy the Pass?
You can buy the pass direct online here (via Rail Europe). Alternately, there are several spots around the city where you can purchase the pass, including these:
- Paris Tourist Office:
25, Rue des Pyramides, 1st arrondissement
Metro: Pyramides or Opera
(also available at all Paris Tourist Office branches around the city)
Tel.: 08 92 68 30 00
- Espace du Tourisme Ile de France
At the Carrousel du Louvre shopping centre
99, Rue de Rivoli, 1st arrondissement
Metro: Louvre-Rivoli or Palais Royal/Musee du Louvre

Build Custom Responsive Websites using HTML5 and CSS3
About This Video
In Detail
Developing websites in today's society is more complicated than just traditional HTML code. Now we have HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and several others out there. With multiple devices on the market we can view websites with, it is even harder to build that perfect website to be compatible with all devices.
This course will take you from knowing nothing about HTML, to building elegant HTML5 and CSS3 websites, making them completely responsive to virtually any device on the market today! During this course, we will delve into the world of HTML5 and get to know that mark-up language, and then we will turn our attention to CSS3 and get down to some serious customization and optimization. We will also take a brief tour into Git and set up our own Git Hub account to store our work on our own Git Account. After that, we will also add in some amazing JavaScript code to make the website more responsive and handle other attributes.
Once we have a completed responsive website, we will then turn our attention to setting up and deploying it on our own server using Debian (Ubuntu Flavor)! We will buy a domain name through a registrar (GoDaddy), and then lock-down our server (using NGINX + Fail2Ban + Let's Encrypt!) to maintain a clean, secured website for all of our guests to see.

For hundreds of years, walking canes were common fashion accessories which were made and worn with pride. But as time went on, the aesthetics were abandoned and the finely crafted artifacts were replaced with cold, clinical, and impersonal items of utility. Today, most canes and home healthcare products are ugly and do little to inspire the self-confidence of those who use them.
Our story is simple: We saw an opportunity and launched Top & Derby, with the vision of disrupting a stagnant industry that lacks innovation. We aren't reinventing the wheel, we're just designing beautiful home healthcare products that work, and that people can be proud to own.
In 2013, we launched our inaugural product; the Chatfield walking cane, through a successful 30-day crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. The campaign allowed us to test the market before investing further in the manufacturing of our product. Since then we have shipped our walking sticks to customers in over 110 cities and 9 countries around the world. In 2014 we received an IDEA Award from the Industrial Designers Society of America. This recognition inspired us to seek out opportunities to re-imagine other poorly designed medical products. In the spring of 2015 we launched another successful crowdfunding campaign via Kickstarter. This time to introduce our new line of modern compression socks.
As Top & Derby has gained further traction in the market, we have continued to receive positive feedback from people who share stories with us about the ways in which our canes and compression socks have made a positive impact in their lives. There's an assumption that people don't want well-designed home healthcare products. But, when we ask users what they want, they couldn't echo our vision more. We aim to change the stigma of disability and inspire the self-confidence of people who use our products.

Industrial control systems (ICS) play an essential role in automating the critical processes that bring electricity and water to our homes, prevent mass transit gridlock, and ensure a steady flow of goods from our factories.
But, unlike the isolated systems of the past, ICS are now highly automated, computerized environments that utilize standard software and hardware components that are increasingly connected to networks such as the web.
Consider this: in December 2013, Positive Technologies identified more than 68,000 ICS components spanning six continents that were exposed through the Internet, including SCADA, smart grids, remote terminal units (RTU), programmable logic controllers (PLC), MES, and ERP systems.

Last November, I posted about Brian Burke, the gruff president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who very publicly supported his gay son Brendan, a hockey player for Miami University. Today I just learned of the sad news that Brendan was killed in a weather-related two-car accident in Indiana Friday afternoon.
My deepest condolences to Brendan's family, who loved him unconditionally.

A 27-year-old Graham man pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree child rape Tuesday, nearly seven years after raping two Thurston County girls while baby-sitting.
Kenneth L. Spears entered the pleas before Judge John Skinder in Thurston County Superior Court. His sentencing was postponed until May 15.
Prosecutors are asking for the maximum sentence: 18 years to life in prison.
These aren't Spears' first child-rape convictions. He was convicted of first-degree child rape in King County.
Spears is the nephew of Lacey resident Cynthia Miller, who was convicted on child abuse charges — two counts of first-degree assault of a child, two counts of second-degree assault of a child, one count of third-degree assault of a child and one count of criminal mistreatment — in January 2016. She is serving a 35-year sentence in the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Purdy.
The victim in Miller's case is one of the victims in Spears' case, according to court documents. Spears' victims were living in Miller's house during the time of the rapes.
Lacey police began investigating Spears last May after the victims' grandfather reported that their former baby sitter had sexually abused the girls beginning in 2010. One of the victims was 6 years old when the abuse started, and the other was 4 years old.
In his guilty plea, Spears wrote that the abuse took place over three years.
Spears admitted that he had sexual intercourse with the older victim but denied touching the younger girl. However, he pleaded guilty to the charge involving the younger girl because he had reason to believe a jury would find him guilty.

A new article by KPMG's Global Indirect Tax Services, published by Bloomberg BNA in June 2016, explores whether the US will implement a value-added tax.
This article considers the factors that contributed to radical changes in tax policy during the past century. It takes a brief look at perceived weaknesses of the current tax model in the United States and considers lessons learn from global trends in taxation. Finally, it identifies eight factors suggesting that the environment exists for radical tax law changes to occur in the United States in the present century. Greater reliance on consumption taxes may one day become a part of that anticipated change.

the health care system is to secure the full benefits of personalized
medicine, it must provide full and fair reimbursement for new
technologies, products and services, based on market principles to the
greatest extent possible. The reimbursement system — both governmental
and private payers — must have coverage and payment policies that
support the timely adoption of new personalized medicine technologies,
including both diagnostics and therapeutics.
Since 2004, PMC's call to action is to monitor, evaluate, and contribute to the debate to ensure that personalized medicine is properly integrated into reimbursement systems in the years ahead.

Document Type: Feature article
The Foothills Project adds 125 mgd (5.5 m³/s) to the Denver area water treatment capacity, and saved approximately $1 million in energy costs in the first year of its operation. The $163 million project includes a diversion dam and reservoir, tunnel, water treatment plant and transmission conduit. The project's unique features include a double curvature thin arch dam. The double arch shape reduced the amount of concrete required to carry the reservoir water loads horizontally into the abutments. The volume of concrete required for this type of dam was less than half that of an equivalent concrete gravity dam. The dam includes a service and auxillary spillways.

Comcast's turbulent bid to acquire Time Warner Cable shifts into high gear this week, 14 months after the $45 billion deal was announced.
Company executives plan to meet with U.S. Justice Department officials in Washington on Wednesday to begin in-depth discussions about whether the government's antitrust concerns are significant enough to torpedo the merger — or if conditions could be fashioned to neutralize possible harms, according to people close to the situation spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential matters.
The Justice Department has spent nearly a year trying to determine whether a bulked-up Comcast would choke competition. The Federal Communications Commission separately is considering whether the acquisition would be in the public interest.
Consumer groups, rival entertainment companies and Internet streaming services have long protested the merger.
But Comcast in recent weeks had several additional setbacks, including a member of the California Public Utilities Commission saying he would not support the deal. The PUC separately is reviewing whether the combination, which would give Comcast 2 million subscribers in Southern California, is in the public interest.
Critics contend that Comcast would use its muscle to stifle online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu, which compete with Comcast's core business of providing bundles of TV channels.
Regulators are also said to be reviewing whether Comcast meddled in the affairs of Hulu, in which Comcast has a one-third equity stake. Comcast promised not to get involved in Hulu as part of its 2011 agreement with the Justice Department, which Comcast struck to win government approval to take control of NBCUniversal. But some executives have alleged that Comcast applied pressure to abort a plan to sell Hulu two years ago, a claim that Comcast has denied.
"The sheer size and scope of a combined Comcast-Time Warner Cable, coupled with its incentive to protect its core video business from innovative 'over-the-top' online video providers, would allow it to threaten nascent competition in so many different ways," a coalition of high-profile opponents wrote last week in a letter to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.
Another sticky issue is high-speed Internet market share. Comcast routinely provides Internet speeds of 25 megabits per second, which meets the FCC's recently adopted standard for broadband. Under that definition, Comcast's market share would reach 57 percent of the nation.
However, it was just last year that the FCC defined high speed as 10 megabits per second. Under that definition, Comcast's market share would total 40 percent.
The company argues that it should not be penalized for the FCC's change in the measuring stick, particularly when it is one of the few companies in the U.S. to routinely offer some of the highest speeds available.

Hake are one of a number of new bands captilalizing on the ever impressive Brighton music scene, with only two basement demos on their Soundcloud, both of which almost effortlesly ooze ability and expertise, I was understandbly excited to hear the Canterbury boys live for the first time. Preparing in a more relaxed manner, declining pre gig boozing in order to perform to their highest standard, I caught up with the lads after sound check to get to know all that is Hake.
The members:
'I'm Luke and I play lead Guitar.' – Luke
'I'm Harvey and I do the words.' – Harvey
'I'm Zach and I play Drums.' – Zach
'I'm Ollie and I'm on Bass.' – Ollie
'I'm Ben on third Guitar!' – Ben
The name;
Harvey: Hake, Hake came from a long line of trying to decide different names, we wanted to be called Spirit Desire after the start of Teenage Riot by Sonic Youth but that was already taken so we had to came up of something, in the end I just chopped all our names together and that was Hake!
Harvey: November 2014, We got to Brighton and we decided we had to sort shit out, we were like 'lets write a load of new songs and get a new band name' – 'cos were were called Shores which is just a terrible band name, before that we were called Relics but we got a cease and desist from a Pink Floyd band!'. – Harvey
The sound;
Luke: It's like a big wall of sound with a lot of dynamic change..
Harvey: That's the thing, in terms of influences, we love shoegaze, we love psychedelia, and the heavier elements coming from our Brighton contemparies like Fuoco and Gang'.
Ollie: Acid Rock Gaze!
Harvey: 'Acid Rock Gaze Djent folk metal!'
Songwriting Process;
Luke: I kinda write a Guitar part and then be like 'come over here you dirty scabbers' and then we jam it out.
Zach: Me and him will basically sit in the basement for a few hours and jam it then Harvey will come down and he'll write some words for it, then we show it to Ben and Ollie, we'll jam together and it'll all come together perfectly.
Living together as a band;
Harvey: Thats probably my favourite part!
Zach: It's great, it's amazing.
Luke: If we ever have an idea we can just jam it out.
Zach: And Fifa!'
Ben: You don't have to pay any money to rehearse.
The daddy of the band;
Zach: It's like a turf war between those two (points to Luke and Harvey).
Zach: And those two are the most chilled bastards going!', (points to Ben and Ollie).
Harvey: Luke calls the shots when it comes to the music.
Luke: Once i get start writing something I get in the zone and have an idea of how it sounds in my head.
Zach: Harvey's definitely the ones thats like 'let's get crackin.
Harvey: Luke is definetely like musical leader, but when it comes to gigs everyone chips in and contacts who they can.
What to expect;
Everyone: Noise!
Harvey: We love playing live.
Zach: In the old days, we played probably 15/16 gigs, something like that.
Harvey: There was a period where we would do 2 or 3 a week at home in Canterbury but got down to Brighton, decided to change the name and wrote 10/12 songs.
Plans for the future;
Harvey: We're gonna have another two songs coming out as we've been at brighton electric recently, so there is new stuff in the pipeline!
Harvey: We did do, but because of great escape theyre calling that one off because the Prince Albert wanted a bit of a break after the great escape, we were due to play and the gig will still eventually happen, thats with Ditz and Bitch Theme.
Harvey: About Bitch Theme: They're wicked, I think that might be at The Globe, that's what Anton (Mocock) was saying, he's been a diamond in terms of organizing it all, in summertime we will be making a music video!
Brighton Music Scene;
Zach: Fucking balls to the walls awesome.
Luke: Best going.
Harvey: When you've got Beach Tape, Fuoco, Puppy and Gang in one night at Sticky Mike's, we saw a guy called Inwards at Green Door, he does all this polyphonic synth shit, he turns up with a whole table full of oscilators and shit.
Zach: 'Me and Harvey went to see a band called Tin Foil Astronaut who had an amazing sound, they're Kent boys, we've seen Gang and Kagoule, Kagoule were amazing.
Harvey: The best thing about it is that we get to be a part of it now!
There is something a lot of bands seem to be missing nowadays and that is a sense of lasting brotherhood, however Hake are different. It is obvious to infer that the boys all love playing, writing and living music, and doing it together from their house to the stage is the perfect scenario. With lots of innovative new music in the pipelines, Hake are bound to set Brighton alight and at this rate, it'll only be a matter of time before they'll be headlining their own shows and moving onto bigger and better things!

Adipose Tissue Depots and Their Cross-Sectional Associations With Circulating Biomarkers of Metabolic Regulation
UMMS Affiliation

BACKGROUND: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and fatty liver differ in their associations with cardiovascular risk compared with subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Several biomarkers have been linked to metabolic derangements and may contribute to the pathogenicity of fat depots. We examined the association between fat depots on multidetector computed tomography and metabolic regulatory biomarkers.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Participants from the Framingham Heart Study (n=1583, 47% women) underwent assessment of SAT, VAT, and liver attenuation. We measured circulating biomarkers secreted by adipose tissue or liver (adiponectin, leptin, leptin receptor, fatty acid binding protein 4, fetuin-A, and retinol binding protein 4). Using multivariable linear regression models, we examined relations of fat depots with biomarkers. Higher levels of fat depots were positively associated with leptin and fatty acid binding protein 4 but negatively associated with adiponectin (all P < 0.001). Associations with leptin receptor, fetuin-A, and retinol binding protein 4 varied according to fat depot type or sex. When comparing the associations of SAT and VAT with biomarkers, VAT was the stronger correlate of adiponectin (beta=-0.28 [women]; beta=-0.30 [men]; both P < 0.001), whereas SAT was the stronger correlate of leptin (beta=0.62 [women]; beta=0.49 [men]; both P < 0.001; P < 0.001 for comparing VAT versus SAT). Although fetuin-A and retinol binding protein 4 are secreted by the liver in addition to adipose tissue, associations of liver attenuation with these biomarkers was not stronger than that of SAT or VAT.
CONCLUSIONS: SAT, VAT, and liver attenuation are associated with metabolic regulatory biomarkers with differences in the associations by fat depot type and sex. These findings support the possibility of biological differences between fat depots.

The Level Zero StrategyThe most basic thing people do with Treasure Map is buy two as fast as they can, maybe get a third to help them collide, buy some treasures, and then use the golds off the collision to rumble in for Provinces.
This is a bad strategy. A really bad strategy.
In fact, the optimal play with Treasure Map and no other cards on board barely defeats not getting Maps at all. If this were all that was going on for a given board, then it really would come down to luck in if the Map player collides fast enough. (On the other hand, that's not really much different than straight Big Money, where it's all about how well that money clumps together).
Fortunately, there is almost always something better available on the board. And the big point here is that even when the Map player collides immediately, on the vast majority of boards, the other strategy is STILL going to beat this naive one. There is just so much else you can be doing, and four Golds is not really enough to finish the game out without support.
The Level One StrategyThe next step is to add in cards to help your Maps line up with consistency, greatly accelerating when they collide and give you the pay-off. The classical combos here are Haven, Warehouse, and Chapel (though to be fair, Chapel tends to help other things more). This is way stronger than the level zero strategy, and has enough raw power to be more or less correct on a non-trivial, if still small, number of boards.
Four golds probably still isn't enough, but a key point for this strategy is that the helper card helps you to smooth out later draws as well - this is the classical purpose of Haven, if you notice, and one of the main roles of sifters - at least in money-based or "good stuff" decks.
Still, this strategy tends to not be terribly strong, because though it has some punch, it isn't anything special - just a decent version of Big Money, and not even a great one.
The Best UsageAll this might lead you to think that Treasure Map just isn't a very good card and that you can pretty much ignore it. For the most part, you would be right. But there really are some cases in which it can be key. I am taking about cost-caring trash-for-benefit cards a la Salvager and most especially, Bishop. In this case, Maps are basically a way to use 2 buys and $8 to get 4 6-cost cards of value to trash.
In order for this to work, you need a very potent engine - you're gaining 4 golds with this every turn, and what's more, you're putting them on top of your deck. You need a lot of drawing power in order to break through all those stop cards. This tends to be pretty slow to set up. But if you can get it going, this really is a lot of fuel. For this reason, Bishop really is the best combination - the Golds provide you with a huge source of points to overcome even a big deficit of green cards, and the player who is trying to buy victory is probably going to stall, trying to grab them all.

Annual Summer Outing & ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
This month Wilson Architects had its annual summer outing. This tradition and employee benefit is a great event where we, as a company, get to spend time together as more than just co-workers. The day began with a fascinating tour of Crane Estate in Ipswich, MA. We toured the Great House and learned about its rich history, and took in the beautiful architecture. With incredible weather for early September in the high 80s, we spent the rest of the day enjoying a delicious lunch, lawn games and the cool water of Crane Beach.
During our outing, we took the opportunity to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. We are happy to support the fight against this disease! Thank you to all who participated. As to our nominee….you're up!

Which smartphone manufacturer has Google tapped to produce the next Nexus smartphone? For a while there we were talking about LG, and wondering if a Nexus 6 might arrive based on the company's recent G3, but public comments from execs have cast doubt on that possibility. So who, then? A new rumor landed over the weekend that suggests Motorola could step up to the role of Nexus-maker, and the phone it brings us could be the largest Nexus handset to date, a 5.9-inch phablet.
The hardware is reportedly under development as codename Shamu, and that part, at least, has some evidence behind it: an Android bug report from only a few days back makes reference to just such a "shamu" device. And beyond that, the aquatic nature of the name fits with existing Nexus-series models.
While Shamu may exist, the rest of this is still very much the stuff of rumors. Supposedly, this is a Motorola-made model with a 5.9-inch display and a fingerprint scanner. And according to this source, Shamu's being developed with eyes on a November launch. But that's about all we have to go on right now: no mention of other hardware specifics, not if we might see some level of Moto Maker-style customization.
The idea of a Motorola Nexus isn't so crazy, but we wonder how well a phablet-sized Nexus might go over with shoppers. While there's clearly a trajectory towards larger and larger Android flagships, jumping all the way up to nearly six inches might be a stretch, and push things bigger than some Nexus fans are looking for.
