Verizon talks about expanding access to broadband in rural areas, wirelessly: Cnet's Marguerite Reardon interviews Verizon Wireless's CTO, who says that his company's plan for LTE will extend far beyond its current CDMA cellular footprint. The missing piece in this interview? The fact that Verizon is obligated to build out a significant footprint in the 700 MHz band about which the CTO is speaking; more on that in a moment.
The 700 MHz band has so much bang for the buck, perhaps offering four times the coverage area with a single base station than an 1700-2500 MHz base station (3G or U.S. WiMax). And that's in urban areas. In rural locations without obstructions and with less dense usage, I would imagine a single base station could cover an enormous area. Backhaul is still an issue, of course, but Verizon has a variety of frequencies it can use for long-distance point-to-point wireless feeds. And while LTE could deliver a pool of 50 Mbps in urban areas with 5 to 10 Mbps or more available per user, rural performance could be lower and still far exceed what's currently available.
Verizon Wireless's CTO speculates that Verizon could offer fixed wireless offerings to homes, much like Clearwire's WiMax. Clearwire can't provide such service across large areas outside of densely populated areas because its bandwidth portfolio is centered in the 2500 MHz (2.5 GHz) band, which is going to be unaffordable to deploy in less-populated areas. Clearwire could cover an entire town with one base station, but it wouldn't make sense for them to cover the area between small towns. In fact, Clearwire's pre-WiMax offerings were originally in lower-tier smaller-city markets that had poor DSL and cable broadband availability.
According to research last year from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 38 percent of rural households in the U.S. have broadband access, and 12 percent of all American households use fixed wireless for access. This shows the great potential for selling service into the rural market in two ways: it's underserved, but those with service are likely paying too much for what they get.
I contacted that report's author a few days ago to ask about the wireless stat, as it seemed incredibly high to me. He explained that it included satellite and all forms of fixed wireless. I found some more recent confirmation of the number from a University of Vermont poll released just two days ago. Vermont has a rural population, but still sees most people in towns and cities. Internet access is Vermont, the poll said, is split out as: dial-up, 18 percent; cable, 24 percent; DSL, 42 percent; satellite, 7 percent; wireless Internet, 6 percent; fiber or other, 3 percent. That 13 percent combined wireless number neatly tracks the Pew's research.
Satellite Markets & Research estimates 731,000 satellite Internet subscribers as of 2008's second quarter. With a bit over 100 million households in the U.S., that's not even one percent of the market, but the Vermont numbers show how that skews in less-populated areas. Pew research puts just 55 percent of households online, with a relatively large number that want broadband. (Some significant number will never want it for reasons of costs or utility, of course.)
As we know, satellite Internet is a kind of marvelous, ugly, and expensive compromise to bring broadband to the hinterland. People who would otherwise be restricted to dial-up service, if they could even get a decent 56K signal, can have far higher rates. But the cost is high, upstream rates low, and satellite services weren't designed to offer pinpoint residential access.
Thus Verizon has a defined market, and it won a large number of licenses covering these rural markets in the 700 MHz sale a year ago; so did AT&T, which also bought up many previously auctioned 700 MHz licenses. Verizon captured the coveted national license, but both firms purchased a patchwork of regional licenses that let them build country-wide 700 MHz networks.
But what Cnet's Reardon doesn't mention, and Verizon's CTO deftly avoids, is that 700 MHz licenseholders are obligated to build out service across the licenses they won. The FCC, tired of awarding licenses that aren't used, attached some modest but significant installation requirements on Auction 73.
While there are several classes of licenses, each class has a 4-year check-in mark for signal coverage. In some classes, that's 35 percent of the geographic area regardless of population, ideal for rural areas; in others, it's 40 percent of the population. If that mark is met, then licenseholders have a full 10 years to build out to 70 percent of the geographic area or 75 percent of the population. Failure to hit a 4-year mark shortens the license term and remaining build out to 8 years. Failure to meet the final target at 8 or 10 years results in the likely loss of the license. Licenses were carved out so that even the cheapest have significant population centers, making it less than optimal for a licenseholder to abandon the coverage area.
Verizon's national licenses (the C Block) require population-based buildouts, which is fair for the scope of the licenses. But some significant spectrum in the A, B, and E blocks require geographic-based deployment. (The public/private D Block didn't have a winning bidder, and is now in limbo after the withdrawal of a significant partner in the public partnership.)
I don't believe Verizon is being disingenuous in pushing the rural message, but the company is also talking up how stimulus money could be used for rural buildouts after the company had, essentially, already agreed to cover 75 percent of the population of the U.S. and 75 percent of the population or area of licenses it purchased.

FCC Commissioner McDowell strongly encourages rural telcos to adopt wireless broadband: An increasing number of reports show that the universal service fund (USF) that derives its fees from urbanized telephone use to subsidize rural telephony is off the tracks, and likely to change significantly in structure. McDowell said to the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association's annual meeting that free markets failed for rural American telephony, and the USF was once an effective mechanism for fixing what was broken. With USF drawing from fewer people--VoIP providers get some exemptions, for instance--rural providers need to adapt.
He urged the providers to participate in the upcoming 700 MHz auction. It's very sweet spectrum--it penetrates well and goes long distances--and licenses in rural areas are likely to be available at reasonable prices, but the infrastructure to build out won't be cheap.

More bad news for customers outside of cities: Verizon will lose 1.6m phone lines, 234,000 data customers, and 600,000 long-distance customers in Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire, and own 60 percent in the new venture formed with FairPoint. FairPoint operates just 308,000 phone lines today, and is generally the incumbent local exchange carrier in these mostly tiny exchanges of less than 2,500 phone lines. By spinning these lines off, Verizon gets to take some of the cost of operating rural exchanges off its books, and the new entity may benefit from universal service fund fees, which provide significant revenue to rural exchanges.
Sprint Nextel spun off its access lines into a company called Embarq last year, as did smaller telco Alltel, which sold its lines to Valor Communications, which operates the new entity as Windstream. FairPoint, Embarq, Windstream, and a fourth firm, CenturyTel (a previous buyer of rural Verizon lines) represent a large, consolidated hunk of rural callers.
These markets may be ripe for more wireless, as wireline services have enormously lagged in these areas compared with the rest of the US. (Remember that the FCC counts broadband as 200 Kbps in either direction, and it counts a Zip code as having broadband service if there's a single provisioned line and a single customer for that line.
Sprint Nextel and Clearwire have licenses that likely cover a large rural area, and the question will be whether they can find it cost effective and efficacious to deploy for those underserved residents.

Satellite is often the only option for rural or exurb broadband Internet: The New York Times reports that Hughes, Starband, and WildBlue have over 390,000 consumers subscribing between them by year's end (240K, 30K, 150K, respectively); WildBlue is adding 15,000 home users and HughesNet 8,000 each month. Installation costs can run $500 with monthly service $50 to $130 per month. The installation costs can be reduced through long-term commitments. Satellite broadband reaches 463,000 households and businesses in all, but will double by 2010.
About 15m U.S. households cannot get broadband service from the local incumbents, this article says. My guess is that number is actually higher, because service availability is usually estimated over broad areas. I have attempted to get DSL service in many places that the line tested as "available," but the service was either marginal or non-existent. This has happened many times to my colleagues as well, and I don't believe we're rare cases, often looking for access in the middle of a city.
The two firms plan to launch new satellites to provide better coverage and access, the Times reports. WildBlue has waiting lists in the midwest and central U.S. where they need more capacity to serve demand. And satellite customers are being slowly picked off as incumbents expand their own coverage as they see demand for wireline service.
Update: This original post stated 150,000 subscribers, but that unintentionally excluded the HughesNet numbers! Thanks to Hughes PR firm for correcting my math.

Verizon is apparently considering selling its telephone lines in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine: The 1.6m local phone lines in those areas are expensive to operate, and as a large firm, Verizon doesn't receive subsidies that smaller carriers do, which allow small carriers in these markets to remain in business. Any buyer of the lines would not receive higher subsidies, according to this New York Times article.
Rural and town residents in these three states already have developing-world quality broadband service. There's a fear with a smaller firm with less capital that even less effort towards improving data services will be made.
One potential buyer of these phone lines is CenturyTel, however. The firm won the contract to build out Wi-Fi service in Vail, Colorado, and just signed up to deploy a 1,700-square-mile network in Pierce County, Washington, covering mostly rural areas and small towns, with Tacoma as the only large city in the mix. There's a slight glimmer of hope for the rural New England market in that outcome if Wi-Fi and other wireless data networking becomes part of CenturyTel's arsenal of tools in making these rural and small-town markets profitable.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that a second broadband wireless ISP was announced in midcoast Maine: I wrote about this at the time, as it seemed remarkable that an area with just tens of thousands of residents could support two firms. The companies' founders both commented on that post, and that's interesting reading, but I wanted to hear some additional detail. I got Jim McKenna, the founder of the newer firm, on the phone to chat about the advantages of wireless mesh in areas where real estate rights are easier to obtain, mountains abound, and customers have few other options. That's featured in today's 20-minute podcast. (Yes, I kept a podcast under 40 minutes.) [20 min., 10 MB, MP3]
He pointed out in the interview that the numbers for Maine are pretty staggering bad for broadband adoption, and he thinks it's about price. He said that one survey showed that only 10 percent of households passed by DSL or cable subscribed to that service. Maine is not only a poor state, it's largely rural, and I would guess that out of 1.3m residents and over 500K homes, that perhaps only 30 to 40 percent are passed by DSL or cable.
The largest cities in Maine--Portland, Augusta, and Bangor--have about 20 percent of the state's population. Everyone else is spread out. In Knox County, where Red Zone Wireless and the 1995-founded Midcoast Internet Solutions have their headquarters about two blocks from each, there are only 40,000 residents, and about a quarter live in and around Rockland, the county seat.
McKenna says that $20 per month is the right price point, and Red Zone offers a residential Wi-Fi-based service with broadband rates for that price and $50 setup; no contract, no cancellation fees, either. That's 500 Kbps down and 128 Kbps up, or about 10 times the download and four times the maximum speeds of a 56K modem. (Although when you get to some of the towns in Red Zone and MIS's coverage area, you're not seeing modem rates that high, either.)
I have a query out to talk to Midcoast Internet Solutions's founder, too, to compare notes. They started as a dial-up provider in 1995, and added Breezecom (now Alvarion) wireless gear in 1997.

The Dalai Lama offers his support for the conference: The summit, taking place in the Tibetan government in exile's home in the Himalayas, happens Oct. 22-25. The Dalai Lama released a letter in support of the event, which will focus on the advantages of wireless networks for rural communities in bringing better education, health-care information, economic development, and a host of other potential enhancements to life. The local wireless mesh network was recently highlighted in the US by BoingBoing editor and NPR Day to Day correspondent Xeni Jardin who trekked out to see many-mile-high Wi-Fi. She writes over at Wired News about the summit. [link via BoingBoing]

Wireless Week reports on Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) proposal: The Senator would like to get $50m added to an existing Department of Agriculture rural broadband program to provide funds or tax breaks to get more Wi-Fi built out in smaller towns and rural areas. Wireless Week wonders if this would affect EarthLink or other metro-scale network contractors, but notes that the funds would go to towns almost certainly below these companies' scale of operations.
In a recent podcast with Don Berryman, EarthLink's head of municipal networking, he said that the company has to work by the number of houses passed as a metric for whether to bid on contracts. That metric led them to give a pass on the Smart Valley wireless project in Silicon Valley.

I'm trying to make sense of Ruckus's rural strategy for its IPTV products: The company uses multiple-antenna technology combined with proprietary streaming algorithms to provide voice, video, and data (802.11b/g compatible) across a home. The rural angle is intriguing, because rural telephone companies want to bring newer services (and higher per-customer revenue for the same wired infrastructure), but they can't afford to rewire homes to handle the network for multimedia and VoIP traversing a house.
Enter Ruckus. They say that because their system can carry streaming video and deliver other services, they're the perfect complement for rural telcos. The telco still does a truck roll, but Ruckus claims its MediaFlex system of gateways and adapters takes under an hour to install, and future additions can avoid a truck roll.
An hour is a pretty nice bar to set to keep costs low, and compares favorably to other home installs. A DirecTV installation at my house required two installers and about an hour to mount a satellite antenna, set up the receiver, and train us on the system. Obviously, the satellite industry considers an hour a profitable installation when factoring in lifetime customer value.
By contrast, in a DSL textbook I read nearly a decade ago, new telco services weren't considered profitable by large phone companies until they reached the point when only five percent required truck rolls. It took DSL and cable years to reach the point where most installs involve just sending a modem out. This has changed completely again with triple-play services, as Ruckus notes.
The latest press release from Ruckus notes 16 more rural telcos in addition to several they'd already signed.

NuTel's plan is to work with existing ISPs or entrepreneurs to set up wireless broadband in small and medium sized communities: The company will handle the backend--accounts and support--while the local firm will own the customer. The plan is to organize a separate company in each community with Nutel as the managing partner. NuTel will handle bringing in broadband and mounting gear; they'll use SkyPilot equipment. They want partners who are qualified to handle truck rolls.
NuTel appears to be also following SkyPilot's original dream of customer-mounted mesh networks. Rather than negotiate with cities and utilities, SkyPilot--when it was a mesh network builder that made its own equipment rather than solely an equipment vendor--wanted to use each customer's location as a possible extension to the mesh. Their equipment supports this, but the companies that deploy their gear haven't pursued this original dream to that extent. NuTel appears to want the right to mount mesh extenders on customer buildings and houses.
The company has 8 to 10 operating partners lined up, they say in this Wi-Fi Planet article, and think they could hit 200 by the end of 2007. They wouldn't compete with municipal networks; this is a final-mile play in broadband-scarce areas.
Pricing could run about $60 per month for 1.5 Mbps access and VoIP service or as little as $15 per month for a 200 Kbps dial-up replacement. Other rates will be available. They expect to work in a 14-state area, including parts of the Mississippi Valley, the upper Midwest, Texas, and California.
Their VoIP service isn't Internet-traversing telephony, but VoIP to their network operation center where traffic is segregated out. This is how some DSL and cable firms handle VoIP, too, providing a much more predictable quality of service from home to PSTN.

A pair of bills introduced in Congress last week want to leverage unused television channels: The two bills want to move forward on allowing wireless broadband over television channels in areas in which stations aren't broadcasting. The New America Foundation, which promotes multiple uses of existing frequencies and open spectrum policies, says 40 to 80 percent of TV spectrum is empty in rural areas. The bills differ in how much of this spectrum they'd allow to be used. When the digital television transition is complete, now mandated for Feb. 2009, the remaining analog frequencies will be auctioned off, and thus if a pre-existing "white space" use were in place, that might reduce the spectrum's nationwide value.

The LA Times weighs in with another story on the 700-square-mile Wi-Fi network in Eastern Oregon: The details don't appear much different from the Associated Press's October filing on this subject, although the emphasis on the chemical weapons emergency communications system is emphasized. (Nancy Gohring first noted the cloud and it's chemical weapons connection after receiving a press release back in Feb. 2004 on Wi-Fi Networking News.)
The AP story said that Fred Ziari, founder of EZ Wireless, footed the $5 million bill himself. Sam Howe Verhovek--the former Northwest bureau chief for the New York Times--writes in the LA Times that "The wireless network, which cost about $5 million to set up, is almost entirely paid for from federal, state and local emergency-preparedness funds." Those statements are probably not as inconsistent as they sound: it's the difference between capital expense and operating income.
Onion farmer Bob Hale is a poster child in both articles.

UnWired: Rural Wireless Conferences runs Nov. 1-2 at U of Georgia, Tifton: The conference will focus on the use of wireless technologies to enhance farm operations and rural life. I was asked to attend, but it's a bit geographically and topically far off from my usual haunts. Still, there's a lot of intrigue in statements like, "representatives from Cattlelog will show how radio frequency identification can help the cattle industry run smoothly and safely."

Off the beaten path and off the wireless revolution: The New York Times writes about how people's pursuit of a little peace and quiet might bring them too much quiet. No cell phone service unless they contort themselves, and no wired broadband Internet. Newer gated and resort communities are factoring in the cost of bringing out high-speed service--without it, they're not a sell.
The article mentions several projects close to my interest, including Wi-Ran, the rolling WLAN installed on Hampton Jitneys that I wrote about for the Times a year ago July (it's about fully installed on buses now); Fire Island Wireless, a tireless effort by Wi-Ran and CEDX's Craig Plunkett to bring one element of the 21st century to that not so distant place; and Nantucket's WiBlast, pushing broadband wireless across Melville's old stomping grounds.
There's an argument that comes up whenever one discusses bringing broadband to places people go to escape: isn't the whole point of escaping disconnecting? It's true. But there's another part of this, which is that smaller communities are more likely to thrive these days when people can remain connected to the rest of the world while they're there. Many communities further and further afield from urban centers--so-called exurbs or even pure small town--have better economies because of telecommuters or small businesses that don't need to be in the middle of it all.

Researchers at Intel Research Berkeley are working on way for remote people in developing countries to use the Internet and email: End users in a village without an Internet connection would write an email and hit send but the requests to send would be bundled and saved. When the bus, equipped with an antenna, travels through town, its antenna picks up all of those requests and also drops off email or even requested Web sites. When the bus reaches a bigger town that has a connection to the Internet, it exchanges information there.
The application sounds exactly like one being used in Cambodia but with motorcycle mail delivery people. That solution has been commercialized by First Mile Solutions.

Columbia Energy plans to use Vivato access points to serve rural customers in eastern Washington: The counties currently have no broadband access options.
Rural utility companies in Washington State have been very forward thinking in bringing broadband to residents. They can use some infrastructure that they already have such electrical towers and backhaul to build the network. In some cases, the law prevents them from selling the services directly to end users so other service providers lease the access. Broadband access could dramatically affect the way that farmers in the region do business.
Update: An InfoWorld article offers additional details on the installment. Columbia Energy hopes that farmers can use the network for remote control and monitoring of irrigation pumps and other farm technology. The price is right for access. For a symmetrical 256 kbps service, customers will pay $39.95.

Seattle-area firm focuses on towns under 50,000 to bring data at affordable price: By partnering with local utilities in these smaller towns, Maverick can reduce its capital risk and focus entirely on service. The company charges $25 to $60 per month for rates from about 128 Kpbs to 1 Mbps. They may be in 23 markets by fall 2005, including their current deployments being built out in Kennewick, Silverdale, and Poulsbo.
Although this brief company overview doesn't mention it, an important application for having these kinds of robust Internet connections is for Internet telephony. If you're in a rural area, "local calling" is quite local. A VoIP line from Vonage or Packet8 could dramatically decrease the charges for calling within the state as well as for long distance.

After a decade of momentum building for the cult of the craft cocktail in bars across the nation, the pendulum feels like it may be swinging back in the other direction in certain new bars, and the New York Times is sitting up and taking notice. In a piece yesterday they look at bars like Prizefighter in Emeryville, where the vibe is unpretentious, despite the high-end liquor selection, and most of the drinks have only three ingredients, and stick to classic formulas like the daiquiri and the Old Fashioned. They call it "a fresh chapter for high-end mixology," but local booze scribe Camper English is quick to point out that a movement back toward simplicity may be happening a bit too soon, and at the expense of innovation.
"It's casual fine drinking, and I get that," he says. "But after spending the last half-decade convincing consumers to try new cocktails, now bartenders are saying, 'Stick to the classics.'" We're observing, though, that the trend has more to do with people's frustrations about how long it takes to get a drink than it does with concerns about preciousness or over-complication.
At Trick Dog, for instance, you have an innovative list of a dozen original cocktails, none of which could really be mistaken for a "classic," yet bar owners Josh Harris and Scott Baird are sensitive to the criticisms of having to wait fifteen minutes while one's order is precisely measured, stirred, and strained. To address that, they added two sections to the menu with drinks that can be served more speedily, allowing you to get your initial buzz on before heading toward the complicated cocktails. One section of highballs features just three choices of two-ingredient drinks, but they reflect the imagination and tastes of the bartenders — they include a terrific combination of aquavit and Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda, and another with Moxie and amaro.
Another section of the menu, which is part of a different trend, is for bottled drinks, which are pre-mixed and served in large-format, 500-milliliter bottles. But they also don't sacrifice on innovation here, with our favorite being a complex, totally unique, clarified buttermilk punch with bourbon, lemon, orange liqueur, marshmallow root-infused milk, sassafras, and Earl Grey. The milk solids are heated and strained out of the mixture, leaving a strange but addicting tang from the buttermilk, and a faint hint of smooth creaminess to the drink. Bottled cocktails can also be found at Harry Denton's Starlight Room, 15 Romolo, and elsewhere, and make for an easy option during prime time.
At Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen you'll always find two three- or four-ingredient cocktails on tap, making for a quick and easy pour over big, hand-cut ice cubes. Similarly at Spoonbar in Healdsburg, alongside a menu of complex creations from bar manager Cappy Sorentino, he's also batched his own version of the Cuba Libre, using three kinds of rum and house-made cola, which is served on tap.
And at Hi-Lo, bar manager Michael Lazar and consultant Scott Beattie put together an easy but interesting list of pint-glass drinks that are simple to make, but still include some unique additives. The rum punch contains house-made falernum, for instance, and the delicious savory Collins has pickling liquid and tarragon in it.
So, on the one hand, while we agree with Mr. English that we don't want to see every bar abandon their waistcoats and muddlers, we're happy that there are options out there for those of us in the mood for something quick and stiff that isn't a plain old bourbon and ginger.

We've been waiting eight years since its announcement but Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord is almost upon us at long last. The next name in epic feudal warfare, it promises to be a top-to-bottom simulation of medieval life. Bannerlord is every genre you can think of bundled together and shaping up to be the sort of game you could easily pump thousands of hours into. Before you put on your pauldrons and head to war though, here are the official PC system specs for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows 7 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i3-8100 4-Core 3.6 GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 4-Core 3.1 GHz RAM: 6 GB System Memory GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory GPU: GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7850 HDD: 60 GB Available Hard Drive Space DX: DirectX 11
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows 7 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K 6-Core 3.7 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core 3.8 GHz RAM: 8 GB System Memory GPU RAM: 3 GB Video Memory GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB HDD: 60 GB Available Hard Drive Space DX: DirectX 11
While we don't necessarily expect Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord to be hugely demanding, it could be a slightly shaky ride from Early Access to its eventual 1.0 launch. Things are going to shift and change as TaleWorlds find its feet. As such, these system specs for Bannerlord should be viewed in a state of flux, they can and probably will change a little between now and launch in March 2020.
Based on what we have here though, M&B2: Bannerlord appears to be a game shaping up to be heavily reliant on CPU performance rather than typical GPU dependence. The minimum spec processors for Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord are perfectly capable and fairly modern CPUs, indicating quad-core is going to be an absolute must. Things go sky-high for Bannerlord's recommended CPUs though, suggesting either a hexa-core i5-9600K or Ryzen 5 3600X. Both of these CPUs will tear through any game you throw at them so these are considered pretty high-end for recommended spec processors.
Fortunately, Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord goes a little easier on the graphics card demands. The suggested minimum of a GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7850 is very low indeed (both score zeros on our new hardware scale) and just about any modern GPU should be more than a match for this pair. The recommended graphics cards for Bannerlord also come in well below the average, suggesting a GTX 1060 3GB or Radeon RX 580 4GB if you want to crank Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord's visuals to the max.
As ever, remember you can always check out how well your PC can run the Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord System Requirements here, where you can check benchmarks and performance from other users. Compare your graphics card to the Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord GPU benchmark chart and we also have an Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord Frames Per Second system performance chart for you to check.

The Perdido River sweeps us between white sand shoals and steep forested banks as it winds out of longleaf pine uplands down toward the Gulf of Mexico. The waterway is alive; the river's current thrums beneath us, and the chatter of newly arrived songbirds reverberates from the trees.
For 10 weeks, we've been hiking, biking and paddling from the Everglades Headwaters to Gulf Islands National Seashore, proving that it's feasible to designate and protect a statewide wildlife corridor to ensure the long-term survival of Florida's unique and endangered fauna, including the Florida panther. And now we're at the end, with lessons learned and a redoubled sense of what Florida has to gain — and what it has to lose if the Legislature fails to use Amendment 1 money as people intended in overwhelmingly supporting it.
Forming the boundary between Florida and Alabama, the Perdido carries us for the final few days of the Glades to Gulf Expedition. As we draw nearer to Perdido Bay, the river widens among flooded forest, slowing and shifting with daily pulses of tide. Once in the saltwater, we paddle the intercoastal waterway through Big Lagoon to Gulf Islands National Seashore and our end point near Fort Pickens, a historic armament guarding the entrance to Pensacola Bay.
Family and friends await our landing. After a symbolic swim in the gulf, we celebrate over a picnic and casual ceremony. Spirits are high, thinking about the fantastic wild places we've experienced and the people whose foresight and dedication has protected the natural gems strung throughout our journey. But new awareness and a tugging urgency shape the mood about the work yet to be done — the need to fill in the gaps and protect the missing links so that the Florida Wildlife Corridor can remain intact for future treks and future generations.
This has been a real journey of discovery. Even for experienced explorers who have spent a lot of time in Florida's backcountry, there were surprises and lessons around every corner. Mapping out each mile of the route in advance gave us a baseline familiarity, but to be immersed in the woods and waters of the Florida Wildlife Corridor for 70 straight days provided new levels of insight about the challenges and opportunities for its conservation.
From the Green Swamp to Chassahowitzka, from the Nature Coast and the Forgotten Coast, from freshwater springs to gulf beaches, from the 16 rivers we paddled to the hundreds of miles of upland and swamp trails we hiked, from Panhandle bays to their headwaters in the longleaf pines, from public parks to private conservation successes, we were awed by the natural beauty, wildness and opportunity we encountered every single day.
The takeaway is that a statewide wildlife corridor really is possible — it exists right now even where it lacks formal protection. We were able to travel 1,000 miles mostly laying footsteps in wild enough places that a bear or panther could follow. This is a testament to conservation success from decades past, including the Florida Forever program that is responsible for many of our state's water and wildlife management areas, and an impressive network of state forests and nationally acclaimed state parks. But it's also a reminder of the importance of working agricultural lands as part of the matrix of connected habitat, in particular the millions of acres of pine timberlands in the Big Bend and Panhandle.

The journey also drew our attention to the gaps in protected habitat — the "missing links" of the corridor. Traversing these missing links was a wake-up call; many of the corridor connections are impermanent, fragile and can easily be lost.
There is a lot at stake with the future of missing links. For example, we explored vast wild places like Apalachicola National Forest and a million acres of associated conservation land that is a solid hub for the corridor, and further west a similar-sized wealth of protected lands including Eglin Air Force Base, Blackwater River State Forest and Alabama's Conecuh National Forest. But the lands in between are not secure. Road-widening projects and a new airport inland from Panama City hint at the population and development to come, threatening to create hard edges and their resulting impediments to the largest contiguous longleaf pine forest left on the planet.
There were also hopeful signs for protecting missing links, such as the Coastal Headwaters Forest Florida Forever project we toured in the western Panhandle. It presents an innovative model for conserving, restoring and sustainably harvesting 100,000 acres of longleaf pine forests on private lands in Florida with a matching scale in Alabama. But the project cannot progress or succeed without public investment in conservation easements, providing capital needed for restoration and preventing the land from being developed.
After witnessing the needs and opportunities firsthand, we expedition team members are disheartened by the environmental budget proposals coming out of the Florida House and Senate — as are likely of most of the voting public. Nearly 75 percent of Florida voters gave clear support for Amendment 1 and its stated purpose of investing in land and water conservation. But from more than $700 million in new conservation dollars available, the House and Senate budget proposals average just $6 million to Florida Forever, which historically received at least $300 million per year.
The budgets proposed shortchange Florida's science-based and publicly vetted Florida Forever list, which prioritizes 2.2 million acres of land still needing conservation funding, 1.15 million acres of which are critically important to the Florida Wildlife Corridor. These priority lands can be protected by using both public purchase and conservation easements, which compensate owners for the development rights to keep the lands green in perpetuity.
The House budget for Rural and Family Lands recognizes the value of easements by providing $25 million for agricultural protection on working ranches and timberlands. But at this pace it could take a century to realize conservation goals that with more focused funding could be achieved in a decade.
Our team would like to see a robust and sustained investment — at least in keeping with the Florida Forever budgets before the recent recession — in order to protect the acres needed to complete the Florida Wildlife Corridor. This is a timely investment to protect wild Florida, and to ensure its continued capacity to sustain the lives and economies of all who call the state home.
Each Sunday for past 10 weeks in Perspective, the Tampa Bay Times followed the expedition's journey, publishing journal entries. On the cover of Perspective we reprise each of the Carlton Ward Jr. photographs that illustrated that week's entry, which you may read at http://tbtim.es/wildlifecorridor.

I'm a college football fan. Not really any other sports, but I love college football. This blog is going to be a tough read for some of you and I want to start off by saying I in no way condone the behavior of this man, but I do think that a lot of his story (and it's unfortunate end) could have been different if he'd had better human connections in his life.
Former NFL player Lawrence Phillips died this week. He was found unresponsive in his prison cell and died later at a hospital in an apparent suicide.
By all accounts, Lawrence Phillips was an abuser. I am from Nebraska and I remember back in the 90's when Phillips played football at the University of Nebraska there was a "joke" making the rounds about how the women of Nebraska felt safer every Saturday during game time because we knew where Lawrence Phillips was. He was suspended for several games due to physically assaulting his girlfriend, who also happened to be an athlete at Nebraska. He dragged her, by her hair, down three flights of stairs. He also assaulted another woman while he lived in Nebraska. He was serving 31 years in prison due to assault charges and for also driving his vehicle into a group of teens (and these are just the cases that were newsworthy). The day before the apparent suicide a judge determined that there was enough evidence to try Phillips for the death of his cellmate who was strangled earlier this year. If convicted, Lawrence Phillips was facing the death penalty.
I know it's easy to think that it's for the best that this man is dead and gone. It's easy to think of it as less burden to the tax payers of California where he was incarcerated. I have no doubt that the victims of his violent crimes are breathing a sigh of relief, as are their family members. I get that, I really do.
My question though is this…what happened in Lawrence Phillips' life that ended up with him unresponsive in a prison cell? He was born a beautiful little baby just like all of us. Where did his life veer so drastically off course?
I didn't know him personally, but from what I have read about him, and from what I remember hearing about his story while he played for my team, this man was traumatized. Lawrence Phillips was bounced around in foster homes, group homes, etc. as a kid. Even before being removed from his mother's care, he was witness to her being physically abused by more than one man. Not only was he witness to his mother's abuse, but he was targeted by the men she brought into their lives. I read once that at the age of 11 or 12 Phillips was knocked unconscious by his mother's boyfriend when he came to her aid while she was being beaten by the boyfriend. He had no positive male role model in his life before leaving his mother's care. When he was in high school he started to play football – a sport at which he excelled. He had coaches at this point that were strong influences on the young Lawrence Phillips (so strong in fact that he regularly wrote them letters from prison). He caused trouble off the field, but the adults in his life were more apparently more concerned with him making the next big game than they were with trying to help him figure out why he resorted to violence. This happened at the collegiate level as well. As I mentioned, I'm a huge college football fan, but even I have a tough time wrapping my brain around how an athlete can have run-in after run-in with the law and still suit up for the game. Again and again the people around Lawrence Phillips did whatever they had to do in order for him to make the game and score the points.
Some of Phillips' former team mates came under fire for expressing grief and sympathy at his death. Many people out there in the public believe he got what he deserved. And again, I cannot stress this enough…I do not condone violence; I do not mean to diminish the feelings of his victims or their families; and, I abhor domestic violence especially. However, Damon Benning (a friend of Lawrence Phillips') perhaps said it best: "he was a hurt person. And hurt people…hurt people." It's probably easier to think of the Lawrence Phillips of the world as evil or bad or worthless, instead of thinking they are hurt. It's probably easier to think that time in prison or death is exactly what they deserve instead of trying to dig deeper and understand what has caused a person to be violent, so incredibly violent.
Maybe it's because we teach about trauma, but in my mind I keep wondering if someone – anyone – had helped this guy address his trauma is it possible that he would not have victimized others? Is it possible that he would have seen his value as a human being off the football field? Is it possible that he could have broken the cycle of abuse? Is it possible that Lawrence Phillips would not have ended his life at the age of 40 in a prison cell in California? I mean, let's face it folks. If the 6th guy picked during the first round of the NFL draft can end up dead on a concrete floor in prison, what's to keep others with not so bright futures from ending up there? This pattern will continue. The names may be different but the stories will be strikingly similar. That's what scares me. That's what frustrates me.

When it comes to comparing different worker's compensation insurance policies, there is a wide array of factors that you need to take into your careful consideration. Though these types of insurance policies are required in every state of the United States of America, since the rates and the types of coverage depending upon the nature of the claim filed, one has to be very careful while choosing the right policy. It always pays to do a thorough comparison shopping before signing up with a specific policy. The market out there is very competitive. Therefore, if you invest some quality time and do a thorough research, there is no reason why you should not be able to find a good deal in worker's compensation coverage for your employees. You can start by looking at other employers – how they are dealing with this issue; what kind of insurance coverage they have purchased and whether that much coverage is enough for them. Though your requirements may be different, looking at how other employers are dealing with this task will get you a good idea on how to proceed. Following are some important points to consider in this regard.
Research The Companies
When it is about comparing different worker's compensation insurance policies, the first thing you have to do is to research the companies that offer this type of insurance policy in your area. An easy way to get detailed information about their past history and about the types of services they offer is by visiting their official websites. Alternatively, you can also give them a call or write them an email and request them to send the brochures to you. Compare the different types of policies they are offering, the kind of coverage they provide, and the rate they charge for their services. This will help you figure out your top choices. Prepare a list of all those companies (keep the list short; 3-4 companies) that you think are offering the policies that are suitable for your specific needs.
Request The Short-Listed Companies For Free Quotes
Once you have short listed 3-4 companies, the next step is to request them to send you free quotes. For this, you will first have to provide the details of your specific requirements. The more accurate details you provide, the more accurate quotes you will be able to get. While you are comparing different worker's compensation insurance policies, it is very important for you to keep in mind that these should be no-obligation quotes, which must be provided to you free of cost. If a company is asking you to pay a certain amount of fee just to get the quotes, you should take it as an alert sign. In order to request the quote, you can either fill out the application form online or you can just give a phone call to the insurance company.
Classification Codes
Every state in the United States of America uses a specific set of classification codes to determine the occupational injury insurance rates for different types of businesses. Therefore, it is important for you to have this list of codes with you. It will help you choose the right policy for your business within a reasonable rate.
Claim Process
The basic understanding of how the companies handle the worker's compensation insurance claims is also very important. Reputable companies provide the details about the same on their official websites. You can do further research by joining web forums that discuss such topics or by having a workers compensation attorney consultation with a workers compensation law expert. If you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence, don't hesitate to seek the services of a personal injury lawyer to help you file a claim.
Overall, when it comes to comparing different worker's compensation insurance policies, the above steps will definitely make the task much easier for you.

A customer brought me a beautiful E. N. Welch walnut kitchen clock he had just purchased at an auction. It had a fantastic original painted dial, a great looking nickel plated bezel, and a pretty case that just needed cleaning. I examined the movement and said that it needed to be overhauled because one of the clicks in the winding mechanism was very loose and needed a new rivet installed. If the click had been left as is, it could come off, letting the winding key spin backwards, possibly damaging the customer's hand. I quoted my usual price of the time (late 1990's), $175 – $275 with a two year warranty. The customer didn't want to pay that much, so he took the clock and left.
A month later, he returned with the clock. He had complained to the auctioneer about the clock not working, so the auctioneer sent him to "X" who would fix it for $35.
It didn't look like the same clock. The beautiful, original painted dial had been replaced with a new paper dial, the nice nickeled bezel had been polished so much that the brass was showing through, the clock didn't run well, and the click was still loose. The movement apparently had been "cleaned" but no repair had been done. I quoted the same repair price as before, and the customer said he would think about it.
Seeing repair work like this makes me sad. 😥 A beautiful clock in nice original condition, that would have looked fantastic with a little TLC to the case, became just another old clock, although it still had a pretty case.

Still good to be the King: Jerry Lawler delivers exciting match but comes up short in bid to become WWE champion
The logical side of me realized that 61-year-old Jerry Lawler had no business last night defeating the Miz, one of the hottest young WWE stars in recent memory, as the champion heads into WrestleMania. But I'll be damned if the fan in me didn't hope for a title change-and at times during World Wrestling Entertainment's Elimination PPV title bout, I actually believed that Lawler might upset the champion and take the belt.
Lawler's pre-match promo discussing the death of his mother a week ago to the day was from the heart and one of those moments when reality and fantasy blend together to make pro wrestling (or sports entertainment) a wonderfully unique art form.
Last year, when speaking of Jack Brisco, the first champion whom the young King faced over 34 years ago, Lawler praised the recently deceased former NWA titleholder, saying that he made it appear "as if a young local kid like me could beat the World champion."
Sunday night, the Miz did everything in his power to make it appear the 61-year-old Lawler was still capable of beating the champion. Lawler looked good, too, with the exception of an awkward superplex, but made up for it with his usual excellent psychology, great-looking right hands, and a wonderful spot when he tossed Miz into the champ's biggest fan, Michael Cole, for a huge pop from the Oakland crowd.
When the King pulled the strap and delivered his fistdrop from the middle rope-his finisher from his Memphis heyday-my friends and I watching on PPV popped. We were thinking title change…but the Miz stopped the count by placing his leg on the rope just in time to stop the referee's count a la Nick Bockwinkel so many times in the '80s.
In the end, I suppose the right business decision was made. Miz defeated Lawler clean in the middle with his finisher. No controversy.
The young cocky punk hangs on to the title heading for a showdown with RAW Chamber winner John Cena. Hard to argue with the result, really. But I can't help but think WWE missed out on creating a moment that fans would have talked about for years-the day a wily veteran rallied against the odds to become champion at 61.
Still, in another way, after following the King's career since 1977 and seeing him come up heartbreakingly short in World title matches over the years, perhaps this was fitting.
Initially, I felt really disappointed over last night's finish. Then I realized that, if only for a night, I once again got to feel like a kid who believed in the sport of professional wrestling. And for that, I thank Lawler, Miz and Vince McMahon.

Written by: Julie Couret. Julie is a charter member of the Mystic Krewe of Nyx. She is a leadership team development coach and CEO of her company, 7602coach.com.
In the off season of Carnival, I sat down with Mystic Krewe of Nyx Founder and Captain Julie Lea. With a krewe of over 3,300 women founded only seven years ago, I was eager to hear the correlation between Julie's role in creating from nothing New Orleans' supreme all female super krewe.
Me: Julie, you've been an organizational leader in your career. What is the primary similarity between leading a carnival krewe and a workplace team?
Julie L: I think leading a parade is the same as leading a team in the workplace because in both situations you need people to buy into the organizations missions and goals. In the workplace employees are paid a salary to carry out those goals and missions.
In a parade it is different because the members of the organization pay to have fun and are there because they want to be. They are there for entertainment and enjoyment away from their jobs and other responsibilities.
Me: That is an interesting point, these women choose to be a part of Nyx. Julie, you mentioned "buy in" as a key piece in the organization, whether that woman is sitting in a cubicle or standing on a float. Tell me more.
Julie L: Leading people is really the same no matter what the title or specific job. You have make people feel valued and a part of what you are trying to accomplish. As Krewe Captain I have to clearly let my members know my expectations so we put our best foot forward to the community in our parade and other events throughout the year. In turn, I listen to them and adjust plans at times based on suggestions and ideas to improve the way we do things. Most people are extremely proud to belong to a group or organization. I always strive to build on that pride to make us the best we can be.
Me: As a Nyx member myself, I personally understand that feeling of pride to be representing this krewe and at the same time, being a part of something bigger than me. And you provided this opportunity for me and several other thousand women. And we know the path wasn't paved when you went to create this krewe. That has got to feel good!
Julie L: The legacy I hope to leave in the pages of Mardi Gras history is that I was a leader who saw an opportunity to bring women together. That I didn't take no for an answer and created an amazing Sisterhood. I also hope I'm remembered as a leader who pushed the envelope. My wish is that the Krewe of Nyx will remain a source of joy and happiness for women and the community of New Orleans long after I am gone.

All set to forge an Italian connection
HERES some exciting news for the ever-growing legion of fans of Malaika Arora. The pin-up girl is all set to sizzle into the hearts of Italians.
Malaika has been approached by no less a person than Roberto Begnini to play the role of a dusky Indian princess in a new French-Italian production. Begnini made headlines in 1999 when he received Oscars for Best Director and Best Actor for Life Is Beautiful.
Understandably, the MTV veejay is over the moon with the offer and says it is one of her biggest breaks in life. Though, as far as breaks go, Malaika has been one lucky lady. She started her love affair with the camera in diapers, promoting everything from baby products to soft toys.
Her transition to the glamorous adult world came at 17 when she was splashed on the cover of some leading magazines. From then on, lifes been on the fast forward mode, with offers flowing in from Benzer, Pierre Cardin, Nyle Shampoo, MRF, Proline, Tanishq... and finally the job of an MTV hostess.
She says."I
pretty much let myself go jabber and dance and let the music make
me feel good. I am really having a blast at MTV." Now top that up
with an international film offer and what more can one ask for?
Perhaps a role opposite Tom Cruise!
Action music
For almost a decade now, BAG films has been sailing along with shows ranging from current affairs to fiction and from music to travel and cuisine. Now the production house has stepped into the world of entertainment with a new countdown show, Yehi Hai Right Pop, Tuesdays, 7 pm on Sahara TV.
Another countdown show? Yes, but with a difference, we are told. To prevent it from looking like a clone of others that spawn most channels, a new element has been added an anchor who enacts different roles every week.
Mumbai-based anchor, Sucheta Pawshe takes viewers into a dream world of fashion models, journalists, social workers, doctors and other personalities who pursue eventful careers. Her enactment is interspersed with popular Indian non-filmi songs by popular pop singers like Sonu Nigam, Adnan Sami, Asha Bhosle, Jassi, Palash Sen and more.
Though Suchetas acting abilities may leave much to be desired, it is the peppy Indipop numbers that infuse some life in the show. So, forget the acting. If you enjoy non-filmi music, this is just the show for you.
Unending tale
When it comes to mythological tales and epics, theres no stopping Ramanand Sagar. Truly, the man never thinks small. Having deluged various channels with religious serials, hes now turned his attention to fantasy. His marathon offering Alif Laila now shifts from Doordarshan to Sabe TV, Fridays, 7.30 pm.
And if you thought Sagar has made the standard 13 or 26 episodes, perish the thought. Believe it or not, he says he has canned 786 all new episodes!
Interestingly, Sagar had already aired around 400 episodes on Doordarshan before switching to Sabe TV. The question that begs an answer is: Is Alif Laila an endless fount of stories?
Says Sagar, "It is a part of the Arabian Nights that has 1001 stories. There are many more stories beyond Aladdin and His Magic Lamp, Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves and Sindbad that very few people know of."
So keep tuned. These yet-to-be told stories from the Arabian Nights are coming on Sabe TV packed with great morals and peppered with flying carpets, magic lamps and amazing fairies.
Meeting of generations
The past meets the future as two generations of captains of the spacecraft Enterprise team up to save the universe in Star Trek Generations, HBO, July 12, 9.30 pm.
When the two legendary space journeymen meet, the result is whistle-blowing action. The story begins in the 23rd century when a powerful energy ribbon known as the Nexus claims the life of Captain Kirk (William Shatner).
Eighty years later, a mad scientist obsessed with the Nexus decides to turn it against captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart).
In an unusual turn of events, Picard enters a Nirvana-like world where he meets Kirk and the two brave men vow to defeat the evil genius.
If you are or ever have been a Trekkie dont miss this one by far the best Star Trek to date with an unforgettable cameo by Whoopi Goldberg.
Something to sing about
Lifes been one long song for Annu Kapoor. Not just for him but for hundreds of viewers and participants who flock week after week to the fun and masti show, Close-Up Antakshari.
Eight years and 400 episodes old, its been one of the longest running game shows on television. With TRP ratings that show little sign of diminishing, it has made winners out of bathroom singers.
The Antakshri team has over the years brought so many innovations to the game that today it is one of the popular past-time at picnics, parties and at all other festive occasions.
The show is now hosting its national challenge, every Sunday, 10 a.m., which will culminate in the finals from contestants across the country. The first venue for the nationals was the historical Gateway of India in Mumbai.
One of the hallmarks of Antakshri has been its changing locations. This, say the producers, serves two purposes first it breaks the monotony of seeing the same set every week, and secondly it gives an opportunity to people from different parts of the country to participate in the programme.
So kickstart your Sunday mornings with song and music and discover the hidden talent in people you may never suspect can even sing a line or two.
Life on the edge
With extinction and other threats lingering on the horizon, some conservationists, biologists and researchers have made it their life work to revitalise species and bring them back from the edge of devastation. These people are the true Champions of the Wild every Sunday, 8.30 p.m. on Discovery.
Viewers get an up-close look at the plight of these animals and the hard work being put in by their human guardians. People like Craig Packer who has been protecting lions of the Serengeti in Tanzania. Or Dr Bristol Foster who is a guardian angel for Kenyas giraffes. Or even Laurie Marker, founder of the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia. And Dr Leigh Boyd who has virtually given a new lease of life to Mongolian horses.
From a biological focus of how genealogy can impact a species chances of survival to using a fracking device to explore how migration helps renew a herd, these wildlife experts are using technology and sheer dedication to ensure the future existence of these endangered animals. Watched these people steeped in quiet, selfless work without any desire for awards or rewards.

Legendary German goalkeeper, Oliver Kahn is set to take up a key boardroom role at Bayern Munich amid a shake-up in Bavaria.
Oliver Kahn will succeed Karl-Heinz Rummenigge as Bayern Munich's chief executive and chairman of the board in 2022 after accepting a position with his former club.

Kahn has agreed to a five-year contract that will see him join the Bundesliga champions' executive board from January 1, 2020.
The 50-year-old is to then replace Rummenigge when the long-serving leader of Bayern's off-field affairs steps down at the end of the following year.
Kahn, who represented the Bavarian outfit as a player for 14 years, has built a successful career in media and business since retiring from football in 2008 and described his election to the board as a "great honour".

"I am deeply connected with the club and it has decisively shaped my life," Kahn said.
"Sporting and financial success, solidarity with the fans, a responsible approach towards the club's history and values – that is what Bayern stands for.
"I would like to further develop these attributes in the future together with the staff, as well as my colleagues on the executive board and the supervisory board."
The transition is part of a wider changing of the guard at Allianz Arena, with Uli Hoeness to relinquish the presidency at the next annual general meeting on November 15.
Hoeness will continue as a member of the supervisory board and hailed Kahn's return as the "perfect solution" following Rummenigge's decision to step down in what will be his 30th year in a backroom role.

"He was captain of Bayern and the Germany national team for many years, he has won almost every title there is to win, and he has always led the way with dedication and determination," Hoeness said.
"Oliver Kahn knows football, he knows the business, and he carries the DNA of Bayern.
"We are convinced that Oliver Kahn is the right man to lead Bayern into the future."
Kahn won eight Bundesliga titles with Bayern and claimed the Golden Ball at the World Cup in 2002.

Ceylon Natural Beccarite Zircon 绿色锆石
Beccarite is green colour Veriety of Zircon Family. Zircon is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates.
Its chemical name is zirconium silicate, and its corresponding chemical formula is ZrSiO₄. Green Zircon is rare Colour Type of Zircon family. Zircon is ubiquitous in the crust of Earth. It occurs as a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks in metamorphic rocks and as detrital grains in sedimentary rocks.
Zircon is also very resistant to heat and corrosion. Because of their uranium and thorium content, some zircons undergo metamictization. Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
As zircon becomes more and more modified by internal radiation damage, the density decreases, the crystal structure is compromised, and the color changes.
Healing Properties 👇
Zircon is Known as "The stone of virtue" All colors. It clears the auric negativity in the wearer and helps to communicate with the higher realm when in need.
Zircon is very well known for its balancing and positive energy effects. It can attract happiness, prosperity and abundance to the wearer.
It will bring the spiritual energy down from the higher transpersonal chakras via the crown chakra, then move it to all of the lower chakras.

Kenyan singer Willy Paul has finally broken his silence on why he ditched gospel music for secular.
Through a lengthy post on Instagram, Paul cited hate from his fellow artists and DJs as well as lack of airplay as the reasons why he left the gospel industry.
"Reasons as to why I left. Hate from my fellow artists and DJs, luck of airplay (claiming my content wasn't Godly back then) ubaguzi na mapendeleo. I was the top artist but these evil people couldn't see that. Or they just chose to ignore the reality! These people broke my heart!" he explained.
Paul whose real name is Wilson Abubakar Radido said this sank him into depression for months as he struggled to settle his bills because the music was his only source of income.
"They hurt me so bad, I was depressed for months I kept crying in silence every single day and night. Can you imagine I had the biggest songs na hawa watu wakanichorea hivo tu."
"It got to a point where I couldn't take it anymore. I had no money to pay my bills and even help out pale nyumbani."
While acknowledging that he is not perfect, the Jigi Jigi hitmaker said the treatment he was subjected to in the gospel industry was terrible.
He adds that he turned to secular music as it accommodated him both mentally and financially, adding that he was fed up with of hypocrisy in the gospel industry.
"I chose the other side which is where I am today, n that's what has kept me alive and stable. Plus I just wanted 2b real with myself and not lie to God! God cannot be fooled so I took a chill pill na sai niko hapa. Same same people that didn't want me there were the first to reach out!!!"
Sorry to hear that kind of persecution. A minister can work a secular job so a gospel artist can sing secular? But there's a line between plain secular and devil's secular music. God help you in life here and afterwards. God saves souls despite weakness

At the end of it all it really doesn't matter what music you make or play. What matters is the impact you make on other people with your music or the impact the music makes on you when you listen to it. Barikiwa pale ulipo ndugu Willy!
I acknowledge that times have changed,but we can learn athing or two from-before change. Music has always been looked at as asource of intertainment.Most artists used to consider themselves appreciated,and honered, when invited to intertain.There was nothing like contract first or money upfront.
Musicians, of yesteryears hardly made apenny from their art.They did it foremost for the love of music.With that attitude, is should not really matter much if music does not generate any income.And if it does, that should be look at as a blessing.
Secondly, a real good peace of music will sell itself and thus generate money.
I dont know this guys music,so I cannot judge,but going by his lamentations, I gather that its not HITMAKERS...
@ Mos gave the best advise.
Willy Paul, don't use God's name in vain. God's love and teachings cannot sink one into depression. If you were not profiting from gospel music, say so....call a spade a spade and not a big spoon!
All the best in your secular singing career. But don't forget....no one can run from God's word!!
Willy Willy wewe ni wa Nani? Wa Mungu ama wa watu. From your conversation I only see your frustrations on people. So let's get this right. You didn't leave God's side because Good disappointed you but rather the people. Meaning all that time you were doing it for people na watu wakacheza kaa wao because that's what watu do Best. If it were for God there's no way He could disappoint you. Cursed is the man who's trust is on man says the good book. Please read Jeremiah 17:5

The House of Viktor & Rolf at the Barbican
An exhibition of work by fashion designers Viktor & Rolf is on show at the Barbican Art Gallery in London.
The show includes a six-metre high dolls' house designed by Siebe Tettero, filled with 54 porcelain dolls wearing miniature versions of all the outfits on display in the gallery.
Throughout the exhibition outfits are displayed on life-size porcelain dolls.
The retrospective exhibition spans the last fifteen years of the Dutch designers' work and continues until 21 September.
Photographs by Lyndon Douglas, courtesy of Barbican Art Gallery.
The following information is from the Barbican Art Gallery:
This summer Barbican Art Gallery showcases the work of Dutch fashion designers Viktor & Rolf. This is the first time in the United Kingdom that an exhibition has been devoted to this highly influential duo. Over the past 15 years Viktor & Rolf have taken the fashion world by storm with their particular blend of cool irony and surreal beauty.
The House of Viktor & Rolf presents each of the designer's signature pieces from 1992 to now, shown in a specially commissioned and characteristically theatrical installation that dominates the entire Gallery.
Highlights include pieces from Atomic Bomb, 1998–99, featuring dramatic mushroom cloud-like cushioned necklines and Russian Doll, 1999–2000, in which a single model was painstakingly dressed by Viktor & Rolf until she was gasping under 70 kilogrammes of exquisite haute couture. For the collection Bells, 2000-2001, models emerged from a smoke-filled space in clothes embroidered with hundreds of brass bells, so they were heard before they could be seen.
Drawing on the Dutch tradition of silver plating a baby's first shoe as a keepsake, the climax of Viktor & Rolf's Autumn/Winter collection of 2006–07, was a strapless wedding dress with a wide petticoated knee length skirt, silver plated, including even the bride's bouquet.
The House of Viktor & Rolf Shop
Be sure not to miss The House of Viktor & Rolf shop. As well as selling the book that accompanies the exhibition, a specially commissioned silk scarf by the designers, limited edition versions of their famous perfumes and exhibition postcards, Viktor & Rolf have also selected a unique range of designer objects, books and curiosities that have inspired them.
Fashion Late–Every Thursday until 10pm
Throughout the exhibition, Barbican Art Gallery is open every Thursday evening until 10pm. Join us for late night themed evenings with a BIG difference. Enjoy fashion fun and games, performances, discussions, master classes, workshops and Off the Peg talks by leading fashion commentators.
Meet a friend at The House of Viktor & Rolf bar where you can enjoy a specially mixed cocktail.
The first Thursday of every month offers that extra bit of interactive fashion excitement. Part of Time Out First Thursdays.
The House of Viktor & Rolf events programme is presented by Barbican Art Gallery in partnership with Premsela, Dutch Platform for Design and Fashion.
A 256 page hardback book, the most comprehensive on the work of Viktor & Rolf to date, including 400 fashion photographers, catwalk images and exclusive illustrations and polaroids, is available at a special exhibition price of £32.95 (RRP £35).
