DS Smith has warned that the UK's current recycling infrastructure will not be able to deal with an increase in packaging from online sales, and there is a risk the 2035 recycling target will be missed.
A report by packaging company Tipping Point said there had been "chronic under-investment" in the UK's waste management system, while the amount of packaging waste generated through e-commerce has rocketed.
According to DS Smith, around 18% of UK retail sales are made online. This equates to 1.9 billion parcels sent through the post each year and, within 10 years, the number of parcels is expected to grow by a further 50%.
The report said: "We risk missing the 2035 recycling target [65% of municipal waste] by more than a decade… official figures today expose a creaking recycling infrastructure that is nearing overload."
The report found £630m had been spent on recycling infrastructure in 2013-14 compared with £569m in 2016-17.
Latest Defra figures show that overall packaging waste recycling declined from 71.4% in 2016 to 70.2% in 2017. The situation for paper and cardboard packaging is worse, with the Office for National Statistics revealing that the recovery or recycling rate for this material has fallen by 3.5%.
Jochen Behr, head of recycling at DS Smith, said: "The Tipping Point report makes for uncomfortable reading, and our research demonstrates just how close our bins are to overflowing.
"We see a system that does not consider the volume of today's recycling, infrastructure which could be close to breakdown and a number of local authorities looking to adopt the cheapest waste treatment rather than improving the quality of collected dry recyclables.
"It creates a compelling case for joined-up, systemic change on how the UK deals with waste and recyclables."
DS Smith also commissioned a YouGov poll which found that 37% of UK adults said they feared the materials they recycle were likely to end up in landfill or incineration sites.
Behr added: "It is particularly disappointing that, in the year since Blue Planet II, a moment that has awoken public desire to reduce waste and recycle more, the UK is set to miss both its short-term and long-term goals. This can only be further impacted by the uncertainty surrounding Brexit."
DS Smith called on the Government to appoint a dedicated minister for recycling and waste, with cross-departmental responsibility.

Coastal and Mediterranean Gardening
Posted:16 March 2017
Being Brighton gardeners were very conscious of the challenges that face those of us with exposed or southern coastal gardens. A year or two back we visited the amazing Ventnor Botanic Gardens on the Isle of Wight and met Irene Fletcher who worked at the Ventnor Botanic Gardens and who, over the years, has designed and made a number of coastal gardens on the Isle of Wight and in Sussex.
We thought that now might be a useful time to recap on her advice. At the time Irene showed us many slides depicting everything possible for coastal growing from low spreading succulents to fluffy acacias and epic echiums she also had a few useful pictures of planting that didn't work in exposed and chalky sites.
Valerian (centranthus ruber)
Ventnor Botanic Gardens has a stunning Mediterranean garden built on terraces where the soil had earlier been removed to make beds elsewhere in the gardens. Plants there grow in very free-draining chalk and rubble, and are planted to show how they thrive naturally in the wild rather than purely for decoration. The garden has a shelter belt of trees and hedges and is backed by higher ground so has its own microclimate, even within the mildness and optimum light levels of the Isle of Wight.
Irene identified the main characteristics that protect plants from the desiccating effects of sun and salt winds:
* narrow leaves
* with waxy or farinaceous layers
* perhaps covered in tiny white hairs that trap salt
* white surfaces to reflect the sun and prevent burning
* aromatic containing volatile oils that help stop the leaves shrivelling and being eaten
* flexible stems that bend rather than snap in strong winds
* shrubs typically have secondary buds in the leaf axil so that if the first set of leaves are damaged others grow readily all along the stems
* tubular flowers protect the pollen
* other flower forms may look flimsy, but they are rapidly replaced over a long season to give the plants a good chance of setting seed.
We learnt that salt spray can travel up to 10 miles inland in very windy weather (!) and, settling on leaves, draws out the moisture (reverse osmosis) leading to brown marks and shrivelling.
Yellow horned poppy (glaucium flavum)
Another good tip was that small species tulips from Greece and Turkey, and gladiolus byzantinus, are suited to dry baking sites, unlike our native bulbs. Also, plant Mediterranean herbs like lavender and rosemary in the spring as they do not like to start with their roots in cold or winter wet. All the plants Irene mentioned do better on poor well-drained conditions and may be short-lived if your soil is too well-nurtured. They include many of the native species that thrive and self-seed along the south coast in shingle beaches or chalk cliffs – horned poppy (glaucium flavum), hardy annual poppies, wild thyme, wild carrot, sea cabbage, valerian (centranthus ruber) as well as more unusual ones from New Zealand and South Africa as well as all around the Mediterranean.
I went away with pages of plant names, many of which I realise are the ones that do best in my garden, so instead of finding them a bit too reliable and boring I am going to treasure them!

Welcome To Lew Miller BBQ!!!
You found me! If you love to eat BBQ, cook BBQ, attend BBQ events, find new recipes, tips, and secrets of the trade, this site is for you! My goals are to encourage you who are just getting started to fire up your smokers and get to it, and teach you who are already doing some smoking some new recipes, tips, techniques, secrets, etc. to elevate your smoking endeavors to the next level and have your friends, family and neighbors begging you to invite them for a BBQ dinner! I also hope to keep you informed about local, regional and national BBQ events that you might want to attend for fun or competition.
I've been involved in BBQ for over 25 years. It's my passion. And I started small…..just a little weber smoker got me hooked! Quickly, I graduated to an electric smoker and would load it up on the weekends with ribs, brisket and chicken. My family loved it! I was invited to participate with a BBQ competition team that competed at the "Great Lenexa BBQ Battle" in Lenexa, Kansas. From then on, I was totally hooked. I spent several summers competing with these great guys and we did pretty darn well. One year we placed 3rd overall out of 175 teams! I became a member of the Kansas City BBQ Society, became a trained BBQ judge and then a contest rep. Being a rep allowed me to travel during the summer months and oversee the judging with help from one or two other contest reps. I met many wonderful BBQ enthusiasts along the way, and consider several to be very good friends and mentors.
In 1998 I founded the Iowa BBQ Society, and with a small Board started the first Iowa State BBQ competition. It started in Des Moines, Iowa and then moved to Marshalltown, Iowa, my hometown. It was a huge success, and the town loved and embraced it. At some point along the way, I won the Iowa State Fair Farm Bureau BBQ contest, making me the "King of BBQ" in Iowa. That was fun! I also started teaching some adult ed classes at our local community college - SMOKIN' 101 and GRILLIN' 101. These classes were very rewarding as many students would call me for some additional help as they were preparing to smoke or grill. Very willingly I would talk them through it, and then the call would come telling me how great their food turned out, that the "whole family loved it" "I'm so happy I took your class" etc. It really made my day.
Now I'm residing in Erie, Colorado and have retired from owning my own plumbing wholesale business. I now occupy my time with my passion - BBQ!! I had the good fortune to meet Rich Womack, owner of Miller's Grille BBQ, Burgers and Beer restaurant in Lafayette, CO and became his BBQ consultant……his business has doubled and has become quite well known as THE place to go for great BBQ and CATERING! www.coloradohometownweekly.com/.../millers-grille-lafayette-transform

(WHDH) — As an Australian woman lost her battle with cancer, she made sure to send a message with some advice for life on Facebook that is now going viral.
When Holly Butcher lost her battle with cancer on Jan. 3, loved ones posted to her Facebook with a message notifying her followers, along with a letter she had written shortly before her death.
Butcher said that as she battled her illness, she began reflecting on life, and made a few realizations that she wanted to share with the world.
"[Life] is fragile, precious and unpredictable and each day is a gift, not a given right," she wrote. "I'm 27 now. I don't want to go. I love my life. I am happy.. I owe that to my loved ones. But the control is out of my hands."
Butcher said remember that life is short and that you shouldn't sweat the small things. "I swear you will not be thinking of those things when it is your turn to go. It is all SO insignificant when you look at life as a whole," she wrote.
Butcher also said it's good to live life and do the things you love, and to spend time with the people you love. "Cuddle your dog. Far out, I will miss that," Butcher wrote. "Talk to your friends. Put down your phone. Are they doing okay? Travel if it's your desire, don't if it's not. Work to live, don't live to work. Seriously, do what makes your heart feel happy."
Butcher finished off by asking everyone to help save lives and donate blood when possible.
"Blood donation (more bags than I could keep up with counting) helped keep me alive for an extra year – a year I will be forever grateful that I got to spend it here on Earth with my family, friends and dog. A year I had some of the greatest times of my life," she wrote.

He was taken to MidMichigan Medical Center-Midland, where he was treated and released
Alcohol was involved in the incident, which occurred at 12:55 a.m. on May 9.
Nguyen was represented by attorney Lee Burton of Midland, who was appointed to the case. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 24.

Explorers get defensive, rally to beat Waterloo
FREEBURG — A defensive first half that was so putrid for the Marquette Catholic boys basketball team, it brought forth some interesting locker room comments at halftime from coach Steve Medford.
"I went in and I said, 'Hey guys, great job Saturday night. Great job. You guys beat Jerseyville, great job. Pat yourselves on the back,'" Medford said, referring to a 51-49 win against the Panthers in Marquette's last game and after allowing 32 points to the Waterloo Bulldogs in two quarters Friday.
It was more sarcastic than anything, but the message was loud and clear: "We think we're a little bit better than what we are, and I told the kids in order for us to be good, we've got to be blue collar."
The Explorers, the third seed in the Chick-fil-A Freeburg-Columbia Holiday Tournament, made life easy for the Bulldogs for 16 minutes before the light switch flipped on, and Marquette clamped down in blue-collar fashion defensively in a 50-42 victory.
The Explorers (9-2), who will face Lebanon on Saturday at 8 p.m., blanked the Bulldogs (3-7) in the third quarter and carried the momentum of a Shandon Boone running 3-pointer at the buzzer to cap off a pivotal third quarter. They allowed Waterloo (3-7) only 10 second-half points.
Marquette allowed Waterloo — and specifically senior guard Rick Wiegand, who scored 19 of his 24 points in the first half — to make 12 of 23 first half field goals but stayed in the game and only trailed 32-27 because the Explorers were 9 of 13 from the floor in the first half themselves, including 6-for-6 in the first quarter.
But the Explorers sealed Waterloo off the scoreboard until Brad Lathrop's free throw with 5:14 remaining in the game and didn't allow a field goal until Wiegand's 3-pointer with 4:23 remaining.
"Blue collar means to rebound and play good team defense," Medford said. "I think we thought that we were a little bit better than what we were, and in the second half, they showed they can guard somebody.
"I was more proud the first minute-and-a-half (of the third quarter) when (Waterloo) ran clock and we still guarded. … I was proud of those first two or three possessions that Waterloo tried to milk the clock and tried to go up seven. If you go up seven, we go into alittle bit more chase mode and I think that's what they were thinking."
The Explorers got a game-high 25 points from Boone, a junior guard who scored 14 in the second half, including that runner at the end of the third that gave Marquette a 35-32 lead and all the momentum that it carried into the fourth.
"I just threw it up," Boone said. "… Coach was running plays for me. I just did what he told me to do, and I executed it."
"Big, huge shot that he hit," Medford said of Boone. "And to start the fourth quarter to get the backdoor lay-up for him knowing that they were going to guard him pretty well, that was a big momentum changer."
Waterloo coach C.J. Cruser agreed.
"Yeah, it's a back-breaker," Cruser said. "They only had five points (before Boone's buzzer-beater). We still would have been tied going into the fourth quarter. We had only (allowed) five points even though we hadn't scored and we could have said, 'Hey, we held serve a little bit.' They got the ball to start the quarter as well so it just kind of steamrolled. We've got to execute better at the end of the quarter.
"… At the end of a quarter this year, we have not scored a basket in 10 games, so we are 0-for-40. We're at the point where I just can't have a turnover, and we had a turnover over there. We threw it away right underneath their basket. Ever since I've gotten to Waterloo, for four years, teams have made those kind of shots against us three or four times a year. That's the second time already (this year) that somebody has kicked one in. Those are the things that happen to our teams. We have let it happen because we haven't finished the quarter off. We've done something to let things like that happen to us."
Marquette improved its record to 9-0 this season when holding opponents to fewer than 50 points. At halftime, there was no thinking that that was going to happen in this game.
"They had a good player and he was making a lot of shots," Boone said of Wiegand. "We just had to make sure we had help defense and we had to play hard on defense. We weren't guarding them right (in the first half). We went into a box-in-one for a second, but that didn't work, so we just had to buckle down and play hard defense."
The Bulldogs, who finished 15 of 39 for the game, made only three field goals — all in the fourth quarter — in the second half.
"They just tightened things up on us and didn't give us open looks," Cruser said. "That's pretty much what happened. They did a nice job with that.
"We shot the lights out in the first half. As coaches, (it was) under our understanding that we would come back to reality (shooting the basketball), and when we did, we didn't handle it very well. … We just weren't going to continue to make shots like that. The lid got a little tighter around there and we squeezed and panicked and that's pretty much what happened. You can't have a donut in the third quarter. You're not going to recover from that when it's a tight ballgame. You can't go a whole third quarter without scoring and went the first six minutes without hitting the rim."
The Explorers only attempted 23 field goals in the game but made 14 of them, including a pair of key treys from sophomore Nick Messinger in the first quarter. Marquette was another 16 of 18 from the free throw line.
"That was key for us to keep it close," Medford said. "We shot the ball extremely well."
Waterloo 15 17 0 10 — 42
Marquette 15 12 8 15 — 50
Waterloo (3-7) — Dodd 2, Lathrop 5, Aycock 3, Aldridge 3, M. Schrader 5, Wiegand 24. 2FG-8, 3FG-7, FT-5, PF-17.

MP qualifications, Palace of Westminster, river waste

Hi, this is Gerry, and this is my News Digest for Friday 17th November, 2017. On today's show my topics are the qualifications you need to enter different parliaments; then the sorry state [1] that Britain's parliament is in; and finally where all that plastic waste [2] in the oceans comes from.
There was a bit of a political crisis in Australia recently. I don't know if you heard about it. The Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Barnaby Joyce, had to resign [3] because he was found to be not 100% Australian. He had dual nationality: Australian and New Zealand. It seems that it's difficult not to be a New Zealander if you have the right to be one. So, although Mr Joyce was born in Australia, and never lived in New Zealand, he automatically qualified as a New Zealand citizen because his father was born there. This fact emerged [4] as the result of a court case, and Mr Joyce was not the only Australian MP to lose their seat [5] in the Australian parliament. There were two Brits, another New Zealander and a Canadian, all from the government side, who were found to be registered as citizens in these other countries. The Australian constitution states that MPs may not be the subjects [6] or citizens [7] of a foreign power [8]. This story got me wondering about qualifications in other countries. You probably all remember the stories about where President Obama was born. There were false [9] reports that Obama was born in Kenya. The point of these stories was that you have to be born in the United States if you want to become the US President. But this qualification does not apply to [10] Congress – the American parliament. You don't have to be American-born to be a Congressman or –woman you just have to be over 30 years of age, an American citizen, and you have to be living in the area that you wish to represent. No mention of dual nationality there. In Britain the qualifications are different again. Here you have to be over 18 years old but you don't actually need to be a British citizen: you can be Irish. Or you can be the citizen of a Commonwealth country as long as [11] you have the right to freely leave and enter the country whenever you like. That means, at the moment, that you can be Maltese or Cypriot, for example, because these countries are member states of the Commonwealth but also EU states with freedom of movement with the UK. In the UK there are, however, a lot of disqualifications. You can't stand for election, for example, if you're in the police, or the army or other government departments. And you can't be a member of two parliaments. And you can't be in prison. But no problem with dual nationality. In fact, the deputy leader of the Brexit campaign in our referendum was the Labour MP, Gisela Stuart, who grew up in Germany and has, as far as I know, dual British and German nationality. I wonder what the qualifications are to become a Swiss MP.
The British Parliament may be relatively easy to join, but it's also in crisis at the moment. The Palace of Westminster is falling down. The Palace of Westminster is the name of the famous building on the River Thames in London where our Parliament has its meetings. Already Big Ben, the world-famous bell in the clock tower, that tolls [12] the hours at Westminster has been silenced for repairs that will last four or five years. A Parliamentary Committee has reported that the Palace of Westminster, "is in a state of extreme disrepair [13]. The risk of a catastrophic failure [14] is high" it says "and growing with every month that passes. It must be repaired." End of quote [15]. The roofs are leaking; asbestos is everywhere; the plumbing [16] regularly fails; the heating and electrical systems are ancient [17]. The building needs massive repairs, and it's estimated that the work will take at least six years. But there are other problems. Our politicians don't want to move out while the work is done. The House of Commons and the House of Lords have very unusual shapes which create a special sort of atmosphere. Out of date perhaps, but the British love their traditions, and a lot of the traditionalist MPs feel that our parliament wouldn't work [18] properly [19] in a different kind of building. And, of course, the repairs will cost a huge amount of money. I think it's fair to say that our politicians have lost the respect of a large part of their electorate [20], so they are nervous about spending too much money on themselves while other public services are being cut. The building that's falling down can also be seen as a metaphor for our political system. Political morality also seems to be collapsing. Some years ago we had a big scandal about politicians' expenses, and now we've got a sex scandal. Following the scandal in Hollywood surrounding Harvey Weinstein and other powerful men in the entertainment business, we've now got something similar at Westminster. This is another place, it seems, where certain powerful men have been using their power over younger women - or younger men - in a sexual way. It just took one or two women to start talking about their bad experiences and the floodgates were opened [21]. As I talk to you, new cases are hitting the headlines daily. All this is happening while the future of the country, that is to say what Brexit is going to mean, is being shaped by these same politicians. I'm glad I'm not the Prime Minister – wherever she looks, all she can see is crisis.
Perhaps the only encouraging thing [22] that our politicians can see when they look around them at Westminster is the River Thames. It's a river that's so much cleaner now than it used to be, but the same cannot be said for a lot of other rivers in the world. I read a report in the Guardian newspaper the other day about how ten of the world's biggest rivers are responsible for 90% of the plastic waste that we find in our seas. And just to give you an idea of how much plastic is involved, it's estimated that every minute of every day the equivalent of a big rubbish [23] lorry's load of plastic waste arrives in the world's oceans. (My PodClub colleague Francesca talked about this recently in her Italian podcast.) Eight of the ten rivers that carry the most waste are in Asia, with two in Africa, including the Nile which feeds into the Mediterranean, of course. In Asia the rivers are the big Chinese ones but also rivers like the Mekong in south-east Asia and the Ganges in India. Perhaps you heard Owen, my wandering son, talking about the Ganges recently in his podcast. It has a huge pollution problem. The latest research, by a team from Germany, is based upon measurements of populations living next to rivers and the amount of rubbish they throw away combined with an absence of systematic recycling in these areas. Whichever [24]beaches you visit these days you'll find plastic waste. For the health of the planet we need to stop this getting into the sea. Perhaps we now know where to start.
And that's it for today. To comment on my stories, please write via the PodClub website (podclub.ch) or on Twitter under the address @Gerrypod. Don't forget that the PodClub app not only allows you to listen to our podcasts but also provides you with some help to extend your vocabulary. I'll be back with my next News Digest on December 15th. Till then thanks for listening, and take care!

The good news is I was able to log 80 training miles this week.
The bad news is 78 of them were on the tri-bike. Only my slightly less than 2 mile run on Tuesday that revealed the pain in my left knee had not yet subsided represented my only run of the week.
Cross-training is great training for runners, no doubt about it. It allows the cardiovascular system to work hard, leg muscles to fire and grow stronger all while providing virtually zero impact to the joints.
Last year when I was making my way back from my shin injury, I reduced my "run days" to just 4 per week, and added two days of cycling to make up the difference. Much like this go round, the shift toward more cycling and less running was not of my choice entirely.
An injury forced me to make the change.
I was very thankful for the bike this week however as after almost two full weeks away from running my body was craving the physical activity. The endorphins that greet me virtually every morning of the week were sorely lacking. I was feeling more tired than ever. Lethargic. "Bloated" and simply not like myself.
After seeing Dr. Fernandez on Thursday afternoon and learning that he wanted me to take one more week off before trying to run again, but I was cleared for cycling – I jumped at the chance to get on the bike.
16 miles on Friday morning with the bike up on the trainer in the garage.
20 miles on Saturday in windy conditions out on Parmer Lane, tacking some great hills along the way.
26.2 miles on Sunday morning, again in the wind and the mist crushing the hills up and down Parmer lane here in Austin.
Good workouts one and all before I head out to San Diego on Monday for a quick group of meetings and a return flight home Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning or perhaps Thursday depending on how I am feeling we will go for a short 4-mile run (hopefully). If we do not experience any pain in the knee, our spring race plans just might happen afterall.
I would have 10 days to ready myself for the Cap 10K here in Austin, 16 days for the Cooper River Bridge run and if that goes well, I conceivably could get in enough work over the following 6 weeks to make it to the Run for the Red Marathon in the Poconos on May 15.
Sunday's ride distance of 26.2 miles was no accident.
I'm still holding out hope that we can stand among the marathoners on May 15th and go for it at Run for the Red.
The bike is going to play a big role in us having a chance to get there, but there is no substitute for logging some run miles over the next several weeks to get me back to where I was on the morning of February 20, 2011.
I know we have a great marathon in us, I just hope I get the chance to prove it in May.

PRESS RELEASE: Smart Dublin in partnership with Enterprise Ireland award 21 new innovation contracts to address Local Authority challenges.Back to News, Blogs & Events
IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11th October 2018
Approximately €700,000 is to be awarded to companies under Enterprise Ireland's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) initiative which will enable them explore innovative solutions to address challenges faced by Local Authorities. 21 companies have been awarded Phase One funding to progress the feasibility of their solutions. Phase One funding will allow each recipient to carry out a feasibility study/prototype of their project.
The allocation of funding follows a call for applications in April 2018 under five separate categories:
- Unheard Voices; to encourage engagement of the 'unheard voices' in Local Authority decision-making.
- Bathing Water Quality; to identify and communicate bathing water quality in a more engaging and timely manner.
- Smart Mobility Hub; to test shared and sustainable workplace mobility options for staff
- Internet of Things; to facilitate connections to field devices over a radio frequency mesh network.
- Last Mile Delivery; to optimise last mile delivery in urban centres.
The announcement was made today (October 11) by Smart Dublin, in partnership with Enterprise Ireland, at Fingal County Council. The event was opened by Fingal County Council Chief Executive Paul Reid and Enterprise Ireland's Head of Innovation and Competitiveness Tom Kelly. The project is supported by Fingal County Council, Dublin City Council, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown, South Dublin County Council, Belfast City Council, Cork City Council, Waterford City and County Council and the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.
Fingal County Council Chief Executive Paul Reid said: "We are excited to be hosting and supporting the 2018 SBIR launch. We are always striving to improve and develop our services and through the SBIR process, we have been able to explore and pilot innovative cost-effective solutions that improve local authority services for businesses and citizens".
"Today, twenty-one innovative start-ups and SMEs have been awarded Phase One funding and we look forward to applying their ideas and solutions across the Local Authorities involved. The successful companies have proposed a broad range of innovative solutions from looking at blockchain and gamification to encourage engagement from 'unheard voices' to designing urban consolidation centres and dynamic parking solutions to support last mile delivery".
Tom Kelly, Head of Innovation and Competitiveness, Enterprise Ireland added: "It's encouraging to see how the four Dublin local authorities have embraced Enterprise Ireland's SBIR initiative over the last few years and are successfully addressing and finding solutions to challenges facing communities. The process is competitive and allows local authorities to collaborate and work closely with innovation-led SMEs to tackle real-life issues and problems. The solutions produced through these collaborations can potentially be employed to improve local, national and even global societies, with far-reaching benefits for both people and innovative SMEs with global ambition. Enterprise Ireland looks forward to seeing the results of these innovation contracts early next year."
Alan Murphy, Smart Dublin Lead: "The SBIR process is a fantastic opportunity for Smart Dublin to engage in Open Innovation; tapping into the open market to explore new ways of delivering Council services for our citizens. This current SBIR round has the potential to significantly address known challenges regarding Mobility, Environment and Citizen Engagement."

Guns N' Roses Axl Rose is currently on tour with AC/DC, covering for Brian Johnson after the singer suffered major hearing loss.
It seems the tour isn't taking up too much of his time however, as it's been reported that he has sent a cease and desist to Google demanding the removal of photos and memes poking fun at his weight.
According to TorrentFreak, Rose is demanding the removal of photos and memes poking fun at his weight. The photos in question were taken by Boris Minkevich for Winnipeg Free Press in 2010.
"Copyright image of Axl Rose. Please be advised that no permission has been granted to publish the copyright image so we cannot direct you to an authorized example of it," according to notices sent by Web Sheriff on behalf of Rose.
TorrentFreak have also received a statement from Web Sheriff which says that Rose owns the copyright of the photo, even though he didn't take it himself.
"We can gladly confirm that all official / accredited photographers at [Axl Rose] shows sign-off on 'Photography Permission' contracts / 'Photographic Release' agreements which A. specify and limit the manner in which the photos can be exploited and B. transfer copyright ownership in such photos to AR's relevant service company."
Google is yet to take the images down.

Nick Saban, Jim Harbaugh, Dabo Swinney, Jimbo Fisher and other household names make well over $5 million per year to coach football. Several NFL head coaches are reportedly pushing up close to the $10 million range.
Truth be told, as the "CEO" of their major corporation, the economic impact of a winning or losing season is significant and the people who decide to pay these coaches these sums understand what is at risk. Does it make sense to pay a man $5 million a year, if the difference he makes in the organization nets the organization $50 million in return? Of course.
This is where we are in Power 5 college football these days. Head coaches get paid. When successful, the contracts (one can clearly argue) make sense in terms of economic return. When they go wrong though, oh they go wrong.
Of recent note, Texas A&M fully guaranteed Jimbo Fisher $75 million over ten years in order to entice him to leave Florida State. Did they need to make it fully guaranteed? We don't know the answer to that; but they did, and that has drawn the scorn of many a person across the land, and likely all radio hosts who always need something to discuss.
So, today, "Mark & Rich" had San Diego State head coach Rocky Long on the show and asked Long his thoughts on Fisher's fully guaranteed $75 million contract. Long, who makes right around $1 million had some strong words to offer on the subject.
SDSU's Rocky Long on Jimbo Fisher's $75M contract: "He doesn't make 1 tackle, doesn't catch 1 pass, he doesn't score 1 TD. We're not only in this to have a salary, we're in this to develop young men so (coaching salaries are) embarrassing at times" via Mark & Rich Show XTRA 1360
— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) December 11, 2017
The optics aren't great. However, the laws of supply & demand are valid. If athletic directors believe the "right" coach could make a difference of say $50 million annual impact to the bottom line, athletic directors (& NFL owners) are going to continue to chase the best possible coach, often regardless of the cost.
With all that said, even coaches at the Group of 5 level often benefit from extraordinary effort from their players…
San Diego State RB Rashaad Penny named first-team All-American by Sports Illustrated. That gives coach Rocky Long a $10,000 bonus and each assistant coach and the strength coach a bonus equal to 1% of base salary

Coaches talking about other coaches salaries is often a dicey subject.

It's important to understand where I'm coming from and why I decided to start Beleduins.
Because of that, I thought I should have my first real post be about who I am and my story. The whole story. From the very beginning.
I was born to migrant parents who fled war and genocide in Southeast Asia. My mother, with two young kids by her side, migrated to the United States where she met up with my father. They moved around, had two more kids, then eventually settled in a city in California where I was born.
Being the youngest of five had its pros and cons. I often got the last of the hot water in our one bathroom house but I always got first dibs at the candy and soda. I had plenty of people to look up to and plenty of people to kick my ass if I ever did something wrong. Growing up, we never had much but we always had enough.
I saw a lot of things I shouldn't have as a kid. People shooting up drugs to standoffs down the street from my house. I heard police sirens, helicopters, fights, and gunshots almost every night as I tried to sleep. From a young age, I knew I didn't want to live my life like this and that I would make something of myself.
But I never really knew how to do this.
Throughout middle school, I was in and out with the wrong crowd. I went from doing normal kid things like playing basketball to stealing from stores and vandalizing property for no reason. I've stolen bikes, gotten bikes stolen, gotten into fights, and avoided being jumped.
But I was also a hustler.
I always did whatever I could to make money. I worked odd jobs doing general labor around the neighborhood. Cutting grass, painting fences, washing cars, and even picking up dog shit. I wasn't too good for any job.
The year I turned 13 was a big year for me. My oldest brother and sister had moved out and it was down to three of us. We were all there on the day my life changed. The day I took my life into my own hands.
It was an ordinary morning. The sun was shining brightly through the window and the birds were singing their sweet songs. I was in our closet/computer room eating cereal and browsing MySpace. Out of nowhere, I heard a crash. It wasn't a car crash but the sound of glass breaking. Right away I knew something was wrong. I felt it in my gut and as soon as I got that feeling, I heard screaming coming from downstairs. I ran down as fast as I could and arrived to see water gushing out from my 25-gallon fish tank filled with guppies, tiger barbs, and neon tetras. As my eyes elevated, I saw someone I love crying in pain caused by one of my biggest motivators in life. Before I knew it, I was fighting, pushing, and trying to get them out of the house. After an extra pair of hands came down from upstairs, we got everyone separated safely.
But the damage was far from done.
From that day in my young adolescent life, I knew things would be different. I would never allow something like that to happen again and that I would get my family away from all the chaos.
Once I started high school, I enrolled in the JROTC program they had there. My sister called it social-suicide, but I saw it as a springboard to my goals. I sacrificed a lot of time with my friends, gave up things that I loved to do, and devoted my spare time to become the best version of myself. I carried this on all throughout high school. Through ups and downs and all the typical drama that happens in that time, I got my first big break.
I took the bus to school every morning so, during my senioritis year, I missed first period a lot. One day I got called into the office for what I thought would be a counseling session for being tardy so many times. To my surprise, I was told, along with many others, that I was eligible for what was called the Gates Millennium Scholarship.
I thought to myself, "Wow! What an amazing opportunity!" But my optimism slowly faded into a melancholy thought.
The other people in the room were more intelligent; way more involved, and way better students. I was just a kid with regular hopes and dreams. There was no way I would get this scholarship over them.
One winter morning, as snow fell somewhere else in the country, I decided to apply for the scholarship. At first, it was your typical one. It asked for your demographics, GPA, and awards. Then came the big part. Eight essays. They were intimidating and discouraging. However, it didn't stop me. I wrote all of my essays that day, spoke from my heart, and submitted the application. I got my letters of recommendation in order and then I played the waiting game. That wasn't the only scholarship I applied to. In fact, I spent most of my weekends that year applying for scholarships because I knew I would not be able to go straight to a university without one. Denials and rejections filled my inbox and day by day, I started losing faith. I was just a kid with regular hopes and dreams and there were plenty others out there like me.
Then it happened.
I got the big packet.
I became a Gates Millennium Scholar.
Once again, my life had changed, only this time for the better.
The next chapter of my life took place in college. Where everyone tries to find their place. Like most people, I stayed in the dorms but was only two hours away from home. I went back often because I felt like I didn't belong. I was no longer surrounded by my peers. I was uncomfortable and anxious. It was my first time on my own and after all, I was just a kid with hopes and dreams. At the end of my first year, I finished with a 2.4 GPA.
I spent the summer playing catch-up while taking online classes. I reflected on whether or not I even wanted to go back to school. I didn't feel good enough or ready. I was uncomfortable.
Little did I know, being uncomfortable is how I became who I am today.
Going back to college for the second year, I hit the ground running. I found a part-time job and was prepared to be the best version of me. Then that one dreadful class that makes everyone change their major took another victim. I was back to being uncomfortable. I was in unfamiliar territory because I never studied in high school. I never knew how. I ended up finding another job in addition to the one I already had. Then I hit the ground running again only to find the road I was on didn't fit me. Once again, I changed my major.
I changed my major a total of five times during my undergrad. The same number of years it eventually took me to graduate. But graduate, I did. And between the time I graduated and changed my majors, I learned so many things about myself, success, life, and my purpose.
It was clear to me what my purpose was in life; et serve dare.
To give and serve.
To give everything I learned back to others and to serve my community.
Who I am today is because of all the ups and downs in my life. The failed classes, rejection letters, job denials, and other negative experiences were obstacles that I had to overcome. But with darkness, there is light. Learning opportunities in every corner. I would never change anything in my past. Not even my broken fish tank. Although I have accomplished many things, there is so much more to be done. That is the reason why I started Beleduins. To share my story and my experiences. To give back everything I've learned and to have others with me while I become the best version of myself.
So to answer the question, who am I?
I am someone with hopes and dreams. Someone who is going to change the world.
