A New Ambassador Offers a Chance to Start Again
By Joshua Russell & Aigoul Abdoubaetova
Donald Lu, the new U.S. ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, recently took up residence in Bishkek. Kyrgyzstan, a country with some potential for democratic reforms that is nevertheless often overlooked in U.S. foreign policy. Located in a region where the United States seeks to maintain a foothold and promote stability, Kyrgyzstan sits at the heart of the great powers rivalry between China, Russia, and the United States.
Despite its longtime alliance with Russia—and despite being surrounded by autocracies to its west (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikstan) and east (China)—it was just last year that Kyrgyzstan held the most democratic elections seen in Central Asia in a generation. Even better: The election led to a peaceful transfer of power, with the former president handing the reins to his prime minister.
While Kyrgyzstan may be a nascent democracy, its human rights record is dismal. The previous government, for example, targeted prominent human rights activists by limiting their rights to free speech and making it difficult for them to travel outside the country. In some cases, the government even went so far as tossing them in prison.
Human rights activists aren't the only ones to be imprisoned for political reasons, either. In 2017, the government of former President Atambayev threw former Speaker of the Kyrgyz Parliament Omurbek Tekebaev in prison on trumped up charges of corruption. Meanwhile, the new president, Sooronbai Jeenbekov, has not indicated whether or not he will free Tekebaev.
And what Jeenbekov has done is no less disconcerting. In what appears to be an effort to consolidate his power and repress the opposition, he's jailed several prominent members of the previous government—even including those from within his own party. There's a reason, in other words, why Omurbek Babanov, the opposition leader and loser of the 2017 election, has fled the country.
This does not mean that Kyrgyzstan has not made some progress. New laws that will go into effect next year will dramatically alter the criminal justice system by decriminalizing a number of minor violations and putting more resources into rehabilitation.
Yet while reform will and must come from within Kyrgyzstan itself, this is an area where Ambassador Lu could help, largely by adopting a policy of greater engagement and stepping in to push for reforms to end corruption, improve government transparency, and strengthen the rule of law. Before Lu can do any of that, however, he must first address the impasse which has strained U.S.-Kyrgyzstan relations for the better part of three years.
In 2015, Kyrgyzstan demanded that the two countries renegotiate a 1993 bilateral agreement which provided the legal framework through which all U.S. economic and humanitarian assistance flowed. Kyrgyzstan's demand—which was tantamount to ending the agreement—was, in part, a reaction to the State Department's criticism of its human rights record. (Specifically, the State Department criticized the life sentence being served by Azimjan Askarov, a protester who decried police brutality and the government's treatment of ethnic minorities.)
Whether or not the two countries can negotiate a new agreement is unclear. President Jeenbekov has done little to engage with the United States and has quickly gone to work building better relationships with China, Turkey, and the European Union. But if the United States is to maintain a meaningful diplomatic presence in the region and push for reforms inside Kyrgyzstan, this lingering dispute must be settled.
Rebuilding its relationship with the United States is in Kyrgyzstan's interest, too. As it continues its anticorruption efforts and to promote the rule of law, Kyrgyzstan's government could benefit from U.S. technical assistance. And if the new government is serious about expanding its work in these areas, there's an opportunity for the United States to provide it with expert and financial support.
Support from the United States could help Kyrgyzstan's efforts to build a more humane criminal justice system as well. U.S. agencies such as the Department of Justice and the State Department could provide professional expertise to train anticorruption investigators, prosecutors, and legal experts. Similar initiatives could also feature support for new reforms to ensure that the civil rights of people who are imprisoned are protected. But none of this is possible without a new agreement.
Ambassador Lu's arrival could help arrest Kyrgyzstan's drift away from democracy. It could also encourage a renewed focus on anticorruption. A better relationship between Kyrgyzstan and the United States, one based on respect for human rights and the rule of law, would not only benefit both countries but the region as a whole. First, however, Lu and Jeenbekov must decide their priorities—and whether they will work together to be a force for stability and freedom in Central Asia.

Superb 9.0 From 326 reviews
Love this hotel. Staff are amazing. I have stayed here the last 3 times I went to Paris on business. My only complaint is their "King size" bed is actually two small mattresses put together. They should offer a real King Size bed when they say they provide this size mattress.
Service was below par
Fabulous location, staff were really helpful, good sized rooms for location
Best of everything ❤
Fabulous location and a great feel to the hotel. Feels more intimate and boutique, which is fabulous. Great breakfast and starred restaurant, with a beautiful courtyard. Room was a little on the small side, but, it is Paris after all. Excellent staff, and would thoroughly recommend.

The stunning scenery of Lake Gregory has been featured in movies for many years. Easily accessible but with great forested shorelines… this little lake can stand in for a lot of different locations. Recently, the lake was a filming location for a music video by Moroccan-Canadian singer songwriter Faouzia. If you watch closely as Faouzia emerges from the lake at sunset, you can catch a quick glimpse of a couple bats photobombing the scene.

It is important that everyone on a company, organization, or team is on the same page before a distinct action or decision is implemented. Therefore, it is important to have a effective method of communication so that those concerned can prepare and adjust to what the action or decision may entail.
In this sense, sending in a notice to an individual or group that may be affected by the subject is an effective way to inform them in advance. This allows them to prepare whatever may be needed of them and from them. That way there is a seamless coordination in when things start to roll out.
In order for a notice to serves its purpose it must include its essential elements. Elements ensure that all necessary points are covered and necessary information are provided. When a notice lacks certain points or information it can be the reason it is ineffective, and discredits its accuracy and correctness. Hence, to help make sure the notice that you create is effective and credible, here is a list of the essential elements you should include:
1. Heading: A small detail helps make the notice appear more official, important, and immediate. The heading should indicate that the document is a notice. It can also be more specific; for example, when a document has the heading Eviction Notice and is plastered on a certain building or establishment, it means that whoever occupies the space has been evicted. Specifying the heading makes it easier for the reader/s to immediately understand what it is for.
2. Pertinent information: It is essential that you include pertinent information about the notice. It must be able to answer the immediate questions of the reader/s. Details and information should answer the 5 Ws and one H questions, specifically the what, who/whom, when, where, why, and how. Providing pertinent information for the notice ensures that the purpose is easily comprehended.
3. Introduction: Although a notice should be direct to the point and brief, it is still important to include a short introduction. The introduction can be where you present the purpose of the notice, basically an overview of what can be read on the entirety of the notice. Aside from that, an introduction can allow the reader/s to prepare for what can be stated on the body.
4. Supporting details: Since the introduction is basically just an overview, you need to provide additional supporting details that will clearly explain the purpose of the notice. That way there will be no room for any questions. This also justifies and proves the credibility of the document. Formal notices or legal notice provide specific code or name for laws or rules that has been followed in the issuance of the notice.
5. Closing: The notice should be concluded on a strong note. The closing should reiterate what decision or what subject has been discussed in the body. However, it should just be succinct and straightforward. In some notices the closing provide the details such as contact information in case queries may arise.
A notice can either bring good or bad news; thus, it is important that the tone and message is conveyed clearly through how it is written. Although it has quite some differences, a notice functions and can be written similar to a formal letter in a sense that it must use a professional tone and straightforward manner. To help make sure you make an effective notice, here is an easy guide you can follow:
1. Determine what kind of notice you want to create: A notice can be used for any purpose. This means that it can also have various types that you can choose from. Before you begin creating a notice it is best that you know what kind or type of notice you want to create. Determine what best suites the purpose it will serve. You can check out notice templates and examples to help you easily create the specific notice that you want.
2. Make a first draft/outline: If you decide to start creating a notice from scratch, it is best to start out with a draft or outline first. Making an outline ensures that the flow of how you present information is seamless and coherent. It will also allow you to create the notice to fit the specific purpose it will be used for. Aside from that, it also helps you avoid making mistakes on the final draft. In addition, once you have an outline, you can easily change things up if needed since it is still not the final output.
3. Provide pertinent information: The main purpose of a notice is to inform the reader/s about specific information regarding a certain subject. Thus, it is important that you provide accurate pertinent information about the subject/message that you want to convey. For example, in a resignation notice you need to clearly explain the reason why you have decided to leave your current position, but aside from that you need to provide the exact date you want to exit from the company or organization. It is essential that you answer the what, who/whom. when, where, why, and how questions so that your notice can be comprehensible.
4. Ensure there is an authorized signature: A meeting notice needs an authorized signature so that reader/s can be assured that the information stated are accurate and credible. In any other notices, a signature from the authorized body/person means that what has been discussed as well as the information stated are all final and factual. Their signature means that they vouch for the information/decision/action that is conveyed in the notice.
5. Proofread and edit: Before publicizing the notice, make sure there are no mistakes and errors. Proofread the notice for any spelling errors, accuracy of information, and so on. You can also ask input from colleagues if the way you presented the information is good and effective. If there are changes, make sure that you edit it accordingly. Lastly, it is best to proofread and edit the notice before you submit to a higher-up and asking him/her to affix his/her signature.
Now that you know that a notice is a good document to use to inform others of decisions and provide information before a certain action is executed, it is important to be keen when you start making it. Contrary to what you might be thinking, a notice is not that hard to make. But should you still find it intimidating to make, here are some tips you can refer to:
As mentioned, a notice can be used for various of reasons and serve different purposes. It is important that you are familiar with the various types so that you can easily choose which is the most suitable to use for what purpose. Hence, listed below are some of the types of notices you can use:
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about notices:
As mentioned, a notice can be used for varying reasons. Thus, there is really no right or wrong format to use. It is best to tailor it to specifically fit the purpose it will be used for. The format is just a minor detail in the process of making it, you should totally focus on providing accurate and clear information.
A notice is a useful form of communication. Here are some of the benefits to using it to communicate with others especially in a professional setting:

2 Corinthians 2:11 says" In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
Genesis 3:1 says" Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
We know that the enemy being Satan is the Father of Lies and the number One LIE that he tells mankind is this.
- That God's word is not absolute truth. if he can get us to believe this lie we will struggle with the word of God.
The enemy doesn't mind you reading your bible as long as you don't believe in what is written in it as being the absolute truth. The moment one believes in absolute truth he or she will do what is written in the word.
There are many lies that the enemy will tell you and I in the course of our lives, and this is why I called this the number one of all lies because in order for anyone to accept Jesus, to have faith, to believe one must believe that God's word is absolute truth. One can't even have faith if they don't have absolute truth.
We can not know God apart from His word, so we must be committed to studying it, mediating on it, and making it the basis of all we do….AMEN!

EVEN in Advent Season, we can already greet one another Merry Christmas, Malipayon nga Paskwa, Maligayang Pasko. Indeed we are not preparing for the arrival of God in our world, we are in fact celebrating the anniversary of his birth into our world more than two thousand years ago. Since then Jesus Christ has been with us, he has never left us. The present Advent and Christmas are indeed a continuation of our celebration.
The arrival of Jesus Christ into our world is called Advent, or coming. And so Advent is Christmas and Christmas is Advent.
Christmas is an invitation for us to experience what is untouchable, whereby you can hear what cannot be heard, see what cannot be seen and know what cannot be known. That is the presence of Jesus Christ in our world today, his presence in each and everyone. The presence of God, of Jesus Christ and of the Holy Spirit, is like salt in the water. If you put salt in the water today, tomorrow morning it's gone and dissolved. Taste the water at the top, it tastes like salt. Taste the water at the middle, it tastes like salt. Taste the water at the bottom, it also tastes like salt. The salt remains in the water even though you do not see it; and though you do not see the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, they are fully present in you and everyone else, everywhere.
That is the essence of what Jesus Christ has said: Whatever you do, good or bad, to one another, you do unto me. Everyone becomes Christ! Everyone is the face of God!
It took Jesus Christ to be born more than 2000 years ago to make us realize and live that essential truth.
Advent - Christmas comes around to remind us that eternal truth.

After single use plastics, smartphone hoarding is the new habit we need to break
Australians are holding on to their old phones for longer, rather than refurbishing or recycling them — and it's having real environmental consequences.
Nearly half (45 per cent) of Australians intend to recycle their old device but this motivation drops off with only one in 10 actually following through, according to new research by MobileMuster, Australia's government-accredited mobile phone recycling program.
The organisation estimates that there are 23 million unused mobile phones sitting in drawers and cupboards across the country, of which roughly five million are likely defunct.
If they're collecting dust it means the devices aren't ending up in landfill (e-waste is actually banned from landfill in South Australia and Victoria), but there is a huge opportunity cost incurred if they are not recycled.
"They're not ending up in our general waste stream, they're ending up in our homes. But the value comes from recovering those resources, and so reducing the need to mine virgin materials," MobileMuster manager Spyro Kalos told news.com.au.
Last year the program collected 90 tonnes of mobile phones and accessories including things like chargers and smart watches but that represents just a small portion of the e-waste out there.
MORE: 'E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world'
Australia's e-waste has ballooned in recent years but the good news is 99 per cent of materials in a smartphone can be recovered into their raw forms and reused.
"It goes back into the supply chain to make new products," Mr Kalos said.
And that is the case for most electronic waste, meaning it's almost possible to achieve what is known as a circular economy when it come to their production.
Compared to other markets, only a small proportion of Australians lease their phone or trade their old device in when they get a new one. Because smartphones are such prized possessions, not to mention expensive, we tend to stash them away for safe keeping.
"We shove it in a drawer in case we need it later, but in reality we never go back to it," Mr Kalos said. "Two-thirds of us do that."
The introduction of the plastic bag ban in NSW this year helped make consumers more aware about the environmental impact of the waste they help generate.
In a bid to capitalise on that awareness — and encourage consumers to recycle their old phone — MobileMuster has partnered with Take 3 For the Sea, a not-for-profit that aims to reduce plastic pollution from oceans and waterways. During the months of January and February, every mobile phone recycled will help support the charity.
"The partnership will encourage people to recycle a mobile phone over the summer and by doing so it will help Take 3 for the Sea continue doing the great work they're doing in reducing plastic pollution," Mr Kalos said.

A model from Belarus who was arrested during a "sex training seminar" in Thailand and then claimed to have evidence of Russian interference in U.S. President Donald Trump's election was deported on Thursday. Thai authorities said Anastasia Vashukevich, 27, two other Belarussians and five Russians were being sent to their home countries two days after they pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy and soliciting. Vashukevich drew world attention last February when she said she had hours of audio recordings that could shed light on links between Russian officials and Trump's election in 2016.

At these meetings, your health is monitored and supplements, prescriptions, or injections are administered.

Tullamore based Fianna Fáil TD Barry Cowen has said he is shocked and hugely disappointed at the decision to designate Portlaoise as the Headquarters of the amalgamated Offaly and Laois VEC.
Deputy Cowen said: "This has come as a great shock to Tullamore and I am struggling to make sense of the decision. The VEC in Tullamore is a new, purpose built facility with exceptional services for staff and students alike. Tullamore provides a perfect location for such a facility and there is no doubt that our VEC has played a major role in education, training and job creation across the entire county.
"This decision comes shortly after the Government's moves to cut funding for the N6 to Tullamore link road. It also comes at a time when fears are mounting over the potential sale of Bord na Mona and Coillte and concerns about how the Government's privatisation plans will impact on jobs in the region. As a result of all of this, people are now genuinely worried about the Government's attitude towards what is such a vital town in the Midlands.
"This Government will be faced with many difficult choices during its lifetime. I am deeply concerned about how and why these decisions are being made and the fact that there are certain communities that are consistently losing out."

On 24th Nov 2012 (Saturday) at about 10.20PM (Malaysian time), I was travelling along LATAR highway from Sg Buloh to Kuala Selangor with my family. Just 1-2km before the toll, I was shocked upon seeing twin green lights moving very slow and just above my car. Apparently, my wife & my first daughter saw that too. The twin green lights was there for about 5 seconds before is dashes out of our sight. It was too sudden and happened for a very short period of time, that's why I was not able to capture it on my camera. There was no sound eventhough it is quite near to us.
This is my first time experiencing it. I try not to think about it, but upon reaching my sister-in-law's home, I found several tweets about it. Guess I'm still obsessed about it. :)

text: This study reviews ship security assessment. The objectives are to explore the possibilities for quantifying and performing a more thorough ship security risk analysis than that described in the International Ship and Port Facility Security code and to evaluate to what extent this more detailed analysis increases ship security and facilitate the effective selection of risk control options. The study focuses on Somali-based maritime piracy, using piracy on the Indian Ocean as a case study. Data are collected using questionnaires and interviews with civilian and military security experts who possess firsthand experience of piracy off the coast of Somalia. The data are collected specifically for this study and describe and quantify the threat's capability, intent and likelihood of exploiting a ship's vulnerability. Based on the collected description of the threat, the study analyzes and describes: probability of detection by pirates, probability of successful approach, and probability of successful boarding. The performed work shows good agreement between calculated probabilities and frequencies in the cited incident reports. Also, the developed scenarios describe the most important influences on the analyzed areas. The research therefore shows that the proposed risk-based approach, which uses structurally collected and documented information on the threat, can increase ship security by assisting in selecting risk control options. The approach also allows for a better understanding of the causal relationship between threat and risk than that provided in today's security analysis by ship owners, for example. This understanding is crucial to choosing effective and robust risk control options.

For some women, mammography is simply not enough. Your doctor may tell you to get an MRI to get more information. So when should an MRI be part of your screening?
First, an MRI is drastically different from mammography. A mammogram is good a for a yearly screening. It uses x-rays to look for tumors in the breast. An MRI uses an intravenous contrast material and magnet and radio waves. An MRI is more sensitive, but is not usually used as a screening tool because it can give false positives for cancer. An MRI should be used to examine areas that mammography has already identified as suspicious. MRIs can also be used on women who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer to determine the size and scope of the cancer.
An MRI produces cross-sections of the body that are very detailed, but is somewhat invasive. A technician will inject a material into your veins called gadolinium so the MRI can clearly see details in the breast tissue.
MRI is more expensive that mammography, but if your insurance pays for mammography, it will probably pay for an MRI if you can demonstrate that you're at higher risk. But it's always a good idea to check with your insurance first.
It's important to know what to expect when you go in for an MRI. For a breast MRI, the technician will tell you to lie down face first on the table. There will be a platform specially designed for the test that has openings for the breast so they're not compressed. The platforms contain the sensors the MRI needs for the exam and it's important to stay still throughout the test. It can be claustrophobic and the machine makes loud clicks and buzzes that can be disturbing to some patients. Sometimes headphones can be used to muffle the sound, but in any case ear plugs are always provided. We wrote a previous blog on how to approach claustrophobia if you have anxiety about your scan. And here are videos on What to Expect when getting a MRI at GMRI.

Facebook buys Instagram for $US1 billion - a Kiwi entrepreneur's take
Mark Zuckeberg has used his Facebook account to announce his company has agreed to acquire Instagram for $US1 billion in cash and shares (a price confirmed by a Facebook statement).
Instagram is the maker of a wildly popular mobile photo sharing app, known for its retro effects that make iPhone and Android snaps look like aging Polaroids - a gimmick that's helped distinguish it from countless other mobile photo-sharing apps.
Assuming it gains regulatory approval, it will be Facebook's largest acquisition to date.
Notably, Mr Zuckerberg immediately pledged not to undermine one of Instagram's key features - the ability to post pics to Twitter, a Facebook rival.
Instagram also lets people post photos directly to the blogging service Tumblr.
"We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We plan on keeping features like the ability to post to other social networks," blogged Mr Zuckerberg.
On March 12, it was reported that there were around 27 million users of Instagram's iPhone app (an Android version of the app has just been released).
According to its website, the company was founded two years ago with $US7.5 million in venture capital funding.
It currently draws no revenue, but says it may introduce charges for some special effects in future.
New Zealand entrepreneur Derek Handley - who sold the mobile company he co-founded to US media giant Meredith (from which he quietly departed earlier this year) - was quick to quip that Instagram's most recently reported headcount - 13 - means the $US1 billion sale works out to $US76.9 million per employee.
"In terms of a revenue multiple it gives "E" on my calculator because Instagram's revenue is currently circle, i.e. $0," Mr Handley added.
"If this is a bubble, I don't see it stopping any time soon. A couple of weeks ago Zynga bought a two-month-old company [OMGPOP - maker of the viral hit Draw Something] for $180 million - but that company had sold over 30 million downloads [at 99 cents each] in six weeks. It has taken some of our star New Zealand companies 30 years to get to $30 million in revenue," Mr Handley told NBR.
"Today, the rate at which a company can grow if it is a hit is just beyond what we can comprehend. And it is way beyond what it was 12 months ago, let alone 24 months ago. It's moving too fast.
"To wit: Pinterest is now the third largest social network in the world - after Twitter and Facebook. I'm sure most Kiwi readers are probably thinking: Pin-who? Fair enough, it only got traction last October." (Read NBR's guide to Pinterest here).
Instagram investors include Andreessen Horowitz, co-founded by Netscape alumni Marc Andreessen, which recently had a big payday as one of Skype's owners before its sale to Microsoft.
Facebook is due to go public later this year.

Dear Friend;
I would be happy if your house was messy. Clothes drying in the living room. Coffee cups, unopened mail and stacks of books falling over. Dog hair poking out from behind the couch.
I would smile at the faint smell of pee in the bathroom. Knowing for sure that you had been digging dirt, or paddling waves, songs flowing from your uninterrupted thoughts. Riding your bike to the market to buy fresh raspberries. Laughing on the phone with your sister.
Something you wanted to do alone that took all day.
I would love to know you had just eaten bacon and gourmet ice cream. Openly, with glee. Having forever banished the word lazy from your vocabulary.
We would remember the pact we made when the kids were small that we wouldn't clean up for each other's visits at all. How I secretly cleaned, just the toilet, a quick tidy. Husband and children shaking their heads, they don't understand. It's women who get judged, not them.
Remembering the mom who stayed for play dates and played. Little Pony voices, Polly Pockets. Can't we just drink wine outside? Is she really suggesting hide and seek? In the house? Throughout the house! Humiliation, finding her crouched in the basement, behind the cat litter, cobwebs and piles of baby clothes.
No fresh baked banana bread makes up for that.
More shame sliding off each time we tell it, laugh, exaggerate it, give love to it.
I would tell you about my marvelous mother in law who stopped me from scrubbing the black roasting pan. "Oh who has time for that? Let's pick cherries instead."
My grandmother, checking herself into the psych ward to get a break.
Old now, we would wonder why we cared so much. We would sigh at the hours added up. Leaning into each other's smell and mess as we tell our daughters this,
"Please don't clean up for us".

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that is concerned with diagnosing, treating and preventing malocclusions (bad bites) and other irregularities in the jaw region and face. Orthodontists are specially trained to correct these problems and to restore health, functionality and a beautiful aesthetic appearance to the smile. Though orthodontics was originally aimed at treating children and teenagers, almost one third of orthodontic patients are now adults. A person of any age can be successfully treated by an orthodontist.
A malocclusion (improper bite) can affect anyone at any age, and can significantly impact the individual's clarity of speech, chewing ability and facial symmetry. In addition, a severe malocclusion can also contribute to several serious dental and physical conditions such as digestive difficulties, TMJ, periodontal disease and severe tooth decay. It is important to seek orthodontic treatment early to avoid expensive restorative procedures in the future.
What problems can orthodontics treat?
Orthodontics can treat a wide range of dental problems and in most cases, completely realign the teeth. Orthodontists may work alone, or in combination with a maxillofacial surgeon.
The typical irregularities requiring orthodontic treatment are as follows:
How can orthodontics help?
Orthodontic dentistry offers techniques which will realign the teeth and revitalize the smile. There are several treatments the orthodontist may use, depending on the results of panoramic x-rays, study models (bite impressions) and a thorough visual examination.
Fixed dental braces can be used to expediently correct even the most severe case of misalignment. These braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets which are affixed to each tooth and an archwire which is used to gradually move the teeth through the duration of the treatment.
Removable appliances include headgear (which consists of a metal wire device attached to customized braces), retainers, Invisalign® aligners (which are almost invisible to the naked eye), palate expanders and tooth movers. Faceguards are generally used to correct developmental delays in both the upper and lower jaw, and palate expanders are used to combat overcrowding.
Whatever the dental irregularity or the age of the individual, orthodontic appliances can properly realign the teeth and create a beautiful smile.
If you have any questions or concerns about orthodontic treatments or how they can benefit you, please contact our office.

When I first started work on this site it had a different name. 'Vinyl Junkies' came about because of my enduring love of what seemed then to be a declining format. A lot of what I wrote about was stuff I'd picked up on 12 inches of plastic rather than my little digital friend. I've been buying vinyl since I was six and, while there are so many variables it's hard to know anything with absolute certainty, I feel like I'm fairly well placed to comment on the way in which it is pressed, packaged and sold in the 21st century.
Those who follow me on Twitter will be used to my fairly regular commentary on the quality of numerous pressings and will also be alert to one particular source of my ire over the years. I find myself writing this to dip a toe in the water and see what is out there. I find myself writing this after getting the phrase 'we've not had any other complaints' a few times of late. I find myself writing this because the people responsible don't seem too bothered right now and I have a suspicion it's not just me getting frustrated.
I'm talking about the work of the world's largest producer of vinyl records, GZ Media in the Czech Republic. Now, as an emphatic endorser of the format, you might expect me to be deeply indebted to their sizeable contribution to the racks of record shops the world over. And yet. While I don't doubt that GZ can produce a quiet, clean, well packaged piece of vinyl – I even have a couple in my sizeable collection – it's got to the point where I can spot their handiwork before the needle lands in the groove. You might recognise some of the following signs: LP incredibly tight to the sleeve, often with one or more of the sides of that sleeve cut through by the disc, light scuff marks on the disc itself, lines of some sort of white dust or grit that when brushed aren't always keen to depart. Add in numerous releases where the vinyl looks blotchy, dirty or heavily scratched and you're starting to get the idea. Now, those latter details are far less common, but the first list includes defects I encounter so very often. I am well aware that I'm a stickler and my sensitive equipment probably doesn't help in my quest for quiet vinyl. However, the popular media narrative that vinyl has the 'lovely warm crackle' added to the sound is ludicrous. If you bought a CD and there was digital noise and distortion at points or, frankly, any sort of noise that wasn't what the artist intended, you'd take it back as faulty. If you purchased a digital download and it didn't play properly, an email would be swiftly sent. And yet, popular culture would have us believe that purchasing an LP with ticks and pops is all part of the charm. Pressing plants like MPO, Optimal and Pallas would beg to differ, but that's largely because they consistently have higher standards than some of their competitors.
I've included a selection of pictures with this piece to highlight whether your LPs are GZ pressings. gzvinyl.com is often stamped in the run out groove, along with a digital stamped code similar to the one shown below. Increasingly, I've noticed the absence of the identifying web address, almost as if labels aren't so keen to draw attention to a record's origins. I've been in touch with people at GZ who have paid lip service to what I've said, assured me they'd investigate and get back to me and then gone silent. I've spoken to independent labels who've acknowledged a problem but pointed to the need to keep costs down. I've spoken to other independent labels who've switched to different plants to avoid such problems. I've even dealt with the physical production staff at the world's biggest record label who actively switched production of a particular reissue programme from GZ to Optimal because of concerns about the quality of the product. They still use them for other reissues, but noticeably less when it comes to special editions where they know the quality will be especially scrutinised. As someone who buys a lot of vinyl and just wants it to sound good, it concerns me that people are so often able to pinpoint them as the source of so many problems. They are victims of their own success and the demand currently massively outstrips supply when it comes to vinyl production, but their refusal to engage on the subject and generous puff-pieces like The Quietus' recent feature on their operation do leave a sour taste. Could the labels insist on more? Yes. If Universal keep accepting hundreds of thousands of pressings without checking any of them will GZ be all that bothered about the odd determined complaint? Probably not.
So, in hope rather than expectation, I turn to you, the customers. I get rather tired of the "we've not had any other complaints" response from artists or labels. Most are all too happy to engage and some have even had pressings done elsewhere to make up for the problems with the initial GZ pressing, but there are still plenty who don't want to know. I suspect this is largely down to lots of us being willing to put up with dirty, slightly noisy pressings. One music journalist I spoke with recently said he didn't even notice surface noise when playing vinyl and I fully acknowledged I'm some way off in the opposite direction, but I still reckon there are plenty of people making do because it's easier than chasing it up. In 2014, I resolutely returned every single even slightly dodgy pressing to my wonderful local independent record shop, Rise. They totally understood what I was getting at and helped me sort out decent copies wherever possible. I imagine I have a certain reputation as a result, but I know from previous Twitter rants on that subject that I'm far from the only one experiencing this downturn in standards. There's already a fair amount of supporting evidence for my claims on this particular thread over on an audiophile forum.
For now, I'd just like people with experience of GZ pressings to comment below. Share a link to this page and see what we find. I'd like to be able to refer labels and artists to this page when I get the "first we've heard of it" response in the future. I'd like to point out to GZ themselves that the issues aren't one-offs. I'd like more decent, quiet, clean records. So, please comment and we'll take it from there. If I'm constructing a metaphorical geeky mountain from a gently neurotic molehill, then I'm sure you'll tell me too. Over to you.

When intellectual property is an important component of a business, investors and prospective acquirers want to know that the business owns all the rights to that intellectual property. In most cases, owning intellectual property is preferable to licensing it.
In most cases, a business will be held in a company structure. Throughout a company's life cycle, there are times when the company's ownership of intellectual property may not be a given (for an overview of intellectual property rights in countries around the world, including New Zealand, please see DLA Piper's intellectual property and technology global comparison guide). This article describes some of those situations and the steps a company can take to ensure that it secures ownership of its intellectual property.
Often, prior to a company's formation, one or more of the founders may have developed technology that is protectable as intellectual property. In order to ensure the company owns that intellectual property, the founders will need to assign ownership of the intellectual property to the company. This is typically done as part of the formation process and often in full or partial payment for the founders' shares. Ensuring that each founder has signed a written assignment that documents the transfer of ownership of any developments created prior to the company's formation is a critical step in the formation process. Although the assignments can be done later, it is best practice, and often much 'cleaner' to do them upfront.
Most countries have legislation dealing with the 'default' position for intellectual property ownership. For example, in New Zealand work created by an employee in the course of his or her employment will be owned by the employer; and a person who commissions certain types of work (such as software) will own the copyright in that work. However, that does not apply to all types of work, e.g. a contractor commissioned to create a literary work (like a software user guide) will own the copyright in it.
The position in relation to employees is similar in Australia, but it is different for contractors – absent a written agreement to the contrary, a contractor will own all intellectual property it creates, even if it is paid to develop it. In the US, companies can rely on the work for hire doctrine to own any copyrights in developments made by employees in the scope of their employment, but the work for hire doctrine does not apply to inventions that could be protected by patents.
These examples illustrate that there are many nuances and different approaches across jurisdictions in relation to ownership of material created by employees and contractors. The position will be even more complex where a company outsources its work to other jurisdictions, e.g. by engaging software developers in India and Europe.
However, usually the default statutory position can be overridden by contract. It is best practice to ensure a company has written agreements with all employees and contractors that clearly deal with intellectual property ownership. As part of the onboarding process for all employees, consultants and contractors, a company should ensure that it has each person/company sign an employment agreement or contractor agreement with the requisite assignment language to ensure that any intellectual property created by them in the course of their employment or engagement vests in the company. Given the importance of getting this right, the employment and contractor agreements should undergo legal review for compliance with the laws of the applicable country.
If a company develops something for one of its customers, the customer may want a written assignment of the intellectual property the company creates, or a broad licence to use it.
A company may agree that the customer should own the material being developed. However, new material could have the company's pre-existing intellectual property incorporated in it (e.g. customer-specific customisations of a company's commercial 'off the shelf' software will have bespoke code, and pre-existing code). Care needs to be taken to avoid agreeing to anything that could restrict the company's ability to use developments in its own business or provide similar or identical developments to another customer (be particularly wary of exclusive licences). Again, a written agreement addressing the parties' rights to new and pre-existing intellectual property is crucial to avoid any unintended assignments or retention of rights.
Being able to confirm that there is no ambiguity in ownership of intellectual property is essential to any company responding to diligence inquiries by an investor or prospective acquirer. Being proactive before problems appear on the horizon will help to ensure that your company avoids issues.
For help ensuring that your company secures ownership of its intellectual property, contact your legal adviser or reach out to Sam Wilson (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Nick Valentine (firstname.lastname@example.com) at DLA Piper.
