Nicolas Jaar, Tipper, Shpongle, Justin Martin, and CocoRosie are just a few of the artists set to headline the event. With those names already being so diverse in the sounds of their art, it's guaranteed that the rest of the lineup is multifarious in genres as well.

Sharepoint is an application platform from Microsoft that is used by many businesses across the world, including 78% of Fortune 500s according to a Microsoft report from 2011. It is used by so many because of its capabilities provided by the ASP.NET based web-parts and integration to most CRM or ERP systems.
Businesses traditionally use Sharepoint to provide intranets with content and document management. The newer iterations provide web-based applications and other ways to more significantly help manage businesses online.

Clarity is that company.
Sharepoint's powerful offering is impactful from day 1 to most businesses. For that impact to reach the entire organization, however, it needs to integrate with all of your systems including your website, online store, and any other web platforms used by employees or management.

The integration between Sharepoint's content management platform and your business's website allows for more streamlined content workflows and keeps all employees on the same page. Website content can be password protected or publicly available.
Not only does your business need to connect its Sharepoint platform to its web systems, but it needs to be done with considerations for unique workflows and requirements? Clarity has you covered.

Although genetics might not have graced you with the thickest locks, fear not you don't need to stress. For us girls with thin hair even the slightest bit of hair loss can show immediately and it can cause you to feel more than a little self conscious. That being said there are ways to combat it.
Stress, protein deficiency and a poor diet (as well as hormones and certain medical conditions) can contribute to lacklustre locks. Some of the above can't be helped however we've combined our fave ways we can combat thin hair below.
Scalp Massage
The health of your hair also depends on having a healthy scalp. When dandruff isn't properly controlled it can lead to hair loss. This holds true for all types of hair, however when you're already worrying about thinning strands it's always best to be extra vigilant. You can do it any time, it works on dry hair but our favourite technique is in the shower with an exfoliating pre-wash treatment.
Our Scalp Detox exfoliator is formulated with gentle natural exfoliants (pomegranate fruit extracts) Not only is it great for your scalp health but everyone loves a massage right?
Strategically colour your hair
Just because you have thin hair it doesn't mean it's unhealthy damaged or brittle. You may still have strong, healthy thin hair, and if you do colouring it can actually make tresses look thicker.
It's time to hunt down a super talented colourist, and they will be able to strategically dye your hair to give the illusion of thicker strands through highlights and lowlights. It's important however to make sure you colour your hair in moderation as not to cause long term damage to your precious strands.
Cool it and don't overdo it
We don't need to say it but heat= damage to your hair. But there's also other benefits on not turning up the heat too much when blow drying your hair apart from reducing heat damage. Our top tip, don't over-dry it. Instead blow-dry your hair (with your head upside down) then stop when it's almost dry. If you dry your hair too much that's when it tends to go flat, and all us thin hair girls know, flat hair is always a no-no.
Ditch Diet Drinks
'Empty nutrients' like sugar, white carbohydrates, and diet drinks contain aspartame and this is an ingredient that has been linked to hair loss. High levels of mercury have also been linked to hair loss, so although not definitely proven its worth trying to avoid high mercury fish such as swordfish too.
Get Food Smart
What if we told you that you could eat your way to better hair? Incorporate B vitamins, zinc and selenium-rich foods such as whole grains, spinach, Greek yogurt and pumpkin seeds and copper rich foods such as shellfish and beans to actively feed your hair and boost your strands.
We also recommend adding more cinnamon to your diet (either as a tea or sprinkled on your food), as it has been known to improve circulation, meaning it can help to bring oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles, giving them a boost.
See more ways to feed your hair here!
Rescue for Thin Hair

This moisturising hair mask nourishes your scalp and gives roots a boost through some of its key ingredients: hyaluronic acid and biotin.

You probably have heard the true statistic that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. This is true for both men and women. And there are signs and symptoms that indicate a heart attack is happening, like chest or neck discomfort, pain in the jaws, or arms or even the stomach. Others are shortness of breath and nausea or light-headedness. These and more are warning signals that really act as gifts of mercy because if we respond right, we can often avert the killer heart attack.
So am I writing a blog for physical well-being? So far it sounds like it. But really, it reminds me of a far more serious condition that we can all have. And too many of us are ignoring the warning signals (me included) and not getting heart check-ups. That strange, but incredible book of Ezekiel provides the examination, the warning, and the prescription that we all need to hear and respond to. Here is what the 'Great Physician', God, tells Ezekiel to say to us as we sit on his examining table: "Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and set the stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces" (Ezekiel 14:3).
No disrespect meant here, but set aside Israel for a moment and let's apply the Doctor's prognosis to our own hearts. Have we taken idols into our hearts? What does that even mean?! It sounds so alien to our modern, sophisticated language. If anyone unused to Christianeze is reading this, you are probably really confused. The destructive potency of an idol isn't actually seen in potato chips on eBay that look like the face of Jesus (who really knows what Jesus looks like?). There are far more powerful idols that plague Christians and non-Christians alike. An idol is something or someone that we center our lives around that becomes to any degree a replacement for God. This can be a lover, an accomplishment, children, beauty, money, etc. Idolatry is similar to adultery. "I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols" (Ezekiel 6:9). We are drawn away from our relationship with God to pursue someone or something else. This is how both of them occur.
Replacing God with god-substitutes happens as our hearts go after our eyes.
Scripture makes it clear that our hearts follow our eyes (Job 31:7). This is not hard to understand. It's the second look that hooks. It's the endless cycle of research, justifying, planning and finally purchasing that fills our garages with so much stuff that our cars no longer fit in it. Consumer Reports often imports idols to our hearts. Idols are on the shelves of all of our hearts! Unfortunately, I speak from experience. This is spiritual heart disease. And it ruins living. Jonah, speaking from experience admitted, "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs" (2:8).
Are we ready to get serious about our spiritual health? If so, then maybe it's time to take the Heart Disease Checklist and step into the examination room of the Great Physician. How do you answer the following questions?
1-Are you exercising your faith regularly to serve others rather than yourselves?
2-Have you experienced symptoms of spiritual problems, like: guilt, anxiety, greed, busyness, hurriedness, depression, chronic joylessness?
3-How is your nutritional intake for your soul?
-Are you daily watching what you take into your mind through TV, Internet, magazines, etc.
-Do you have a well-balanced diet of studying God's Word, prayer, and fellowship?
-Are you listening to the right advice?
4-When was the last time you had an examination from someone who knows the signs of spiritual heart disease?
5-How easily can you admit you have a problem (confession) and make the changes necessary (repentance)?
6- In the past month have you experienced any shortness of patience with those who have tried to confront you?
7-Are you easily able to recognize the signs of pride: irritation, anger, criticism, defensiveness, blame shifting, arguing, relational conflict?
8-Are you regularly taking one day a week for rest and recuperation and worship with your church?
Get your heart checked today. Make an appointment with a wise counselor who will lead you to the Savior Who loves you. And whatever Jesus recommends, my encouragement is to act on it immediately. Spiritual heart health will give you a better life!

I love wallpaper! I love the way it transforms the personality of a room in an instant. Wallpaper can be such a quick and cost effective way to makeover a room. Instead of buying artwork to put on the wall, a whole wall can become the artwork. Or a more subtle wallpaper design can finish and bring life to a room without overpowering it. Any room, large or small, can be suitable for wallpaper; from living rooms, to bedrooms, even bathrooms and kitchens can benefit from wallpaper.
Of course, standard colour and home decorating principles apply when it comes to selecting the right wallpaper. Lighter colours will reflect light and dark colours will absorb light. The colour of the wallpaper will affect the mood of the room, so think about what mood you want to create…for example, blues and greens can provide a restful bedroom, red will provide a stimulating dining or living room, and orange will spark creativity in the office or kitchen.
Wallpaper should also reflect your personality and the mood you want to create. Different patterns, textures and designs will appeal to different styles. Natural fibre wallpapers such as woven grasses will provide a very different feel to shiny or velvet wallpapers. Traditional stripes and dainty florals provide a very different feel to striking Florence Broadhurst designs.
Here are my top 5 interior decorating tips for wallpaper:
Have fun! Wallpaper doesn't just have to go on walls. It can add a lot of impact on ceilings and on the back of bookcases as well.
You can choose a traditional wallpaper and hang it in an unusual way. For example, to decorate a boy's bedroom I chose traditional blue and white stripes, but hung the stripes vertically on one wall and horizontally on the opposite wall.
Make sure you choose an experienced and professional wallpaper hanger for a great finish. Badly hung wallpaper is not a good look!
If the walls are less than perfect, look for a wallpaper with an embossed or expanded surface texture to hide the defects.
For areas that will have a lot of use, a patterned or textured wallpaper will be more forgiving to bumps and marks.
Of course, just like paint, there are thousands of wallpapers to choose from and the choice can be overwhelming! So engaging an interior designer or interior decorator will make the experience of choosing wallpaper a happier one. You don't need to renovate your whole house to engage Meredith Lee Interior Design, we're happy to help with small projects such as wallpaper selection. We can also often purchase the wallpaper on a cost-plus basis, providing you a discount to retail prices.
If you would like some help with wallpaper selection or paint colours, then we can help! Contact Meredith Lee on 0400 775 724 or email us.

I want to like this series, I really do. It comes from a writer who I'm usually a fan of, the artwork is beautiful each and every month, and the story is telling the origins of one of the Valiant Universe's most powerful characters. That being said, with each issue of this series that comes out I find myself struggling more and more to get on-board with the plot unfolding within. This penultimate installment is the weakest yet, something which isn't helped by the brevity of this issue; coming in at about sixteen pages of actually new material, it feels like Van Lente is rushing his way through this story in order not to exceed the restrictive page count. I understand that this is an incentive series and so perhaps can't afford to provide as much material as a regular mini-series, but when the story is suffering so much as a result you have to wonder whether making this book an incentive was a good decision on Valiant's part. This issue continues the story of Anni, Padda and Cuth and admittedly does venture into more interesting territory than the previous books. After Anni is bestowed with great power in the book's opening pages and goes on to carry out some morally ambiguous acts, it creates some intriguing rifts among the three characters who until this point seem to have had a relatively smooth relationship. Additionally, this issue is quite possibly the strongest in terms of visuals that we've seen so far with the art team of Juan José Ryp and Jordie Bellaire continuing to impress. Their depictions of some of this issue's darker moments are very effective, and the actions sequences particularly remain energetic and exciting.
Still though, this book continues to suffer primarily for its bland characters. With only one issue to go I still don't particularly care for Anni, Padda or Cuth, nor do I have any desire to read about more of their adventures together. As a result of this, the plot fails to grab my attention – although in part this is also due to the predictable elements of this story. While this issue does go to some unexpected places, the endgame of this book has been clear since the very first issue and judging from the cover to issue four things will wrap up exactly how I expected them to. Although, the covers to this series have generally been quite disconnected to the interior material thus far so maybe it isn't a good idea to use them to predict what's coming next. Indeed, just as issue one's cover was entirely unrelated to the events of that installment, the cover to this issue is also very misleading. I know you can't judge a book by its cover, but nonetheless it is frustrating when a comic-book cover has practically nothing to do with the story being told within. Ultimately, Legends of the Geomancer remains quite a bland and forgettable story, and the fleeting moments of greatness aren't worth the time and effort that it may take you to track down the issues of this strangely distributed series.
Score: 2/5
Book of Death – Legends of the Geomancer #3 Writer: Fred Van Lente Artist: Juan José Ryp Colorist: Jordie Bellaire Publisher: Valiant Comics Price: $3.99 Release Date: 09/23/15 Format: Mini-Series; Print/Digital

If you want to learn more ways to support your favorite indie writers, keep reading!
Being an indie or non-traditional writer is a tough path. We are a tenacious group of people who are determined to get our work out there, with or without the traditional means of assistance - but actually being able to support ourselves with our work can be a huge challenge.
If you want to help, first of all, thank you so much. We wouldn't be here without our devoted readers. Secondly, take a look at the following suggestions. You'd be surprised how easy it is to help your favorite indie and non-traditional writers.
Monetary Support
1. Buy our books. If you like our work, support it with your dollars. Buy them new direct from the main distributors. Remember that buying used copies and buying new copies from subsidiary book sellers on Amazon means the author doesn't get any royalties!
2. Buy our other offerings. Many indie writers have secondary offerings. Perhaps they are selling their artwork on Etsy, or are offering online classes or educational subscription services. Sometimes, these purchases can be even more impactful than the purchase of our books. It helps sustain us in between projects.
3. Check if your favorite author has a Patreon account. Again, this kind of support is so important. It helps us pay the mortgage and keep the pantry stocked with bread and Earl Grey tea. Seriously.
Non-monetary Support
1. Share everything. Let your friends know about the amazing book you just read. Share our posts on Facebook. Recommend our work to others. Forward our newsletter emails to your friends. Remember that indie authors are working without the expertise and contact lists of a marketing expert at a big publishing house. We're on our own. So every fan who speaks up for us, every word-of-mouth recommendation is essential to our success. It's like having our own, personalized patchwork quilt version of a PR manager (which, in my opinion, is the best kind!).
2. Leave reviews everywhere. Oftentimes, book reviews make or break a book purchase. Reviews are even more important to indie authors because self-published and independent press books have to fight against the cultural assumption that they weren't good enough to be picked up by a real publishing house. (Not at all true.) We indie authors need all the help we can get to combat this negative assumption. Remember that you aren't limited to leaving a review of a book only at the place where you purchased it. Don't forget Goodreads and other book-centric websites. See if other shops allow you to log in and leave a review, as well. If you have a blog, write a review there. Or share your reviews on social media. And guess what? It's okay if you didn't like the book and don't have a good review to offer. Believe it or not, we want honest reviews! A book with eighty-nine 5-star ratings looks pretty hinky, right? No one has a perfect rating. So go ahead - if you didn't like it, feel free to say so.
3. Email your favorite indie author and ask if you can help them promote their latest project. Offer to review it on your blog or to lend them a space for a blog book tour. Invite them onto your podcast. Authors are so grateful for this kind of support. And you might even get a free digital or audio copy out of the deal!
4. Subscribe to your favorite indie author's free newsletter. You'll get the scoop on all the upcoming projects, and it helps authors maintain a relationship with their loyal fans. (And don't forget to forward the emails to friends who might enjoy it!)
5. Attend local events. It can be challenging for indie authors to put themselves out there. Give them a boost – fill up the room when they promote a reading/signing or other event. Bring some friends and smile a lot from the audience. And buy a book on your way out.
6. Post pictures of yourself reading the author's book on social media and make sure to hashtag the book title and tag the author. It is such a thrill for us to see our books out in the world, making an impact on other people's lives!
Things to keep in mind:
1. Remember not to make assumptions about the quality of an indie author's work just because they are self-published or using an independent press. Some of us are more interested in distributing our work to the world than we are in getting a publishing deal. Some of us are making a deliberate choice not to work with big publishing houses, for any number of reasons. Others want to keep a more intimate relationship between themselves and their readers. And let's not forget that all too often, high-quality projects are passed over by big publishers because they are so overwhelmed with their current workload and author list. There are countless reasons why indie authors might end up self-publishing and/or using an independent press. Give them a chance before you judge them, and make sure you remind others of this, as well.
2. If you review books on your blog or website, remember that indie authors often cannot afford to send you a printed copy of their book, especially in exchange for a potential book review. Even with our author discounts, sending 10 books out (with shipping costs) for 10 potential reviews (reviews are never guaranteed) can cost us upwards of $70. Many indie authors aren't even able to pay their bills from the money they earn off their books, let alone put large chunks of change toward promotional outlets that might not end up reviewing our books. If you're a book reviewer who has these requirements, please reconsider allowing indie authors to send in a digital copy. With a digital copy, they at least won't incur a loss if you choose not to review the book.
3. Most indie authors really, truly want to connect with their readers. Don't be afraid to contact us!

Folks We Love with Gabrielle Nancarrow, founder of Gather
Gabrielle Nancarrow is the founder of Gather, a space dedicated to mothers to nurture their minds, bodies, and sense of community. The space she has created is rich and beautiful, both aesthetically and conceptually. They offer a safe place for mothers to bond over pregnancy, post partum life, and loss. It's also a haven for self care, offering yoga, meditation, and community sharing circles, workshops, and moon ceremonies. We are so inspired by this mom and can't wait for you to learn more about her.
Who is in your family?
My husband James and two little girls, Camille (4) and Audrey (1)
Where are you from?
Melbourne, Australia
Can you tell us more about Gather? What were you doing work-wise before you had kids and how did Gather come to fruition?
Gather is located in Melbourne's inner-west and I was motivated to create it because I felt there was a real need for a supportive, judgement-free space for women to come together, connect and build community. We hold space for women to share their birth, life, loss and motherhood stories, plus have workshops, yoga, meditation, breastfeeding circles, women's health-focused one-on-ones and a birth, loss, and postpartum doula collective.
The experience of birthing and mothering my daughters changed the direction of my life and career. When I became pregnant with my first daughter I was living in New York and working as Editorial Director at Victoria's Secret PINK. I had a doula for Camille's birth and the support and encouragement she gave me really inspired me to do the same for other women.
In the four and a half years since Camille's birth, I have trained as a birth doula and also a pregnancy loss doula. Gather was born out of this work and out of my desire to create an inclusive space for Melbourne women to learn, share and belong.
What have you learned about community from Gather? What have been the biggest take-aways from your community there?
Community is everything. Women, and especially new mothers, need to know they are not alone. I felt far from natural as a new mother and I've learnt in the years since that that is a really normal feeling. Motherhood is rarely what it looks like from the outside and I wish more new mums knew that. Another big motivation for the space was my experience of losing my first baby to miscarriage. At the time I had no one to turn to who understood the complex grief that I was experiencing and I did not want any other woman to carry that burden alone like I did. Real, tangible, in-person connection and community can provide a sense of safety, of love and of belonging that is so needed in our crazy busy, online world.
How have things changed with your partner since you became parents?
Ah, relationships post-babies are hard! Ours is constantly evolving and we're working on it all the time. We have our good days and our bad days but always try to find time to hug and laugh as much as we can. I've learned a lot about intimacy and relationship shifts in the postpartum period and for us, it's about acknowledging and embracing the changes and finding our way back to each other as often as we can.
What is your favorite thing to do as a family?
Cuddle in bed together in the mornings and travel as much as we can.
What are you reading?
Body Full of Stars by Molly Caro May
Where do you feel most inspired?
Listening to my daughter's beautiful, quirky made-up stories. Her imagination is wild!
What does femininity mean to you?
Loving, nurturing, feeling, creating.
How do you manage stress?
I call my mom or, better still, head to my parents' house on the beach for a couple of days.
What's the most challenging part about being a mom?
Finding the balance between wanting to be there for them every minute and also having time for myself and my work and my family and friends. Also, the worry. I worry so much about them but I try not to let them sense it so that they can be free to explore and learn and play.
What is the most challenging part of running your business?
Not having enough time to dedicate to it. I work mostly at night but also have to take calls and send emails while cooking dinner or walking to the park. I know I need more boundaries but in the early stages of my business I'm still learning how to create them and still get everything done.
How do you maintain balance with work, a partner, kids, and yourself?
I'm still working on it. In the lead-up to Gather's opening, things were really hectic but I can now sense an ebb and flow and an opportunity to balance work with life at home a bit more. We're getting there.
What are you watching right now?
Handmaid's Tale and Peppa Pig
What does self-care mean and look like for you? What do you do for yourself?
In a way, Gather is my self-care. Running the business is busy but the offerings we have - yoga, meditation, moon ceremonies, workshops on sex post-babies, cycles and fertility, restful sleep - are all so aligned to what we need as women and mothers that I get as much out of them as the women who come to our space. I also love reading, massages, baths, and the beach.
What advice do you have for young entrepreneurs?
If you really believe in what you are doing, put everything on the line. I left a well paid, well established career to start Gather. I had the vision and I had the motivation but it wasn't until I left my job that things become real and the business was born.
What advice do you have for new mothers?
Get a postpartum doula and rest as much as you can, especially for the first 40 days. Also, when you are ready, speak your birth story out loud.
What is the best advice you have ever received?
Trust yourself.
What are 4 things you can't live without?
My family, my babaa cardigan that I wear most days, holidays in Noosa, and my phone.

How To Keep Your Hounds Cool In The Heat
If you live in the UK then you obviously will be aware that we're having a serious heatwave. And whilst it's glorious for us humans it's not too fun for our beloved dogs so I thought today I'd share an easy guide to keeping your hounds cool in a heatwave.
- Don't walk your dogs between 10.30am-6pm and when on a walk always take plenty of water and make sure the pavement is cool enough to put your feet on without shoes. If it isn't then it's too hot for your dogs feet. You can buy dog boots to be extra careful of your dogs pads.
- Change their water throughout the day and put more than one bowl out so they're never far away from water.
- If you have a long haired pup make sure their fur has been clipped to ease the heat for them and maybe invest in a cool mat for them.
- Create treat ice cubes with frozen yoghurt, banana or peanut butter with their favourite treats inside to keep them cool.
- Or treat them to a doggy ice cream.
- Never, ever leave your dog in the car and be careful taking your dog out in the car in general.
- Check your dogs paws when they've been outside to make sure their pads are ok.
- If your pup has a short snout then be even more careful when exercising at any point, whether that be early morning or evening.
- On the days it's too hot for a walk try and keep your dog as stimulated as possible with games indoors. Things like snuffle mats are so good for this and a paddling pool might be great fun if they love water.
- If your dog is a fan of swimming then make the most of it during hot days but make sure to wash them clean of any algae and check the water looks ok before letting them in. Always be sure to wash off any salt water and sand that could dry out your pups fur.
- Even if your dog has short hair make sure they're groomed so they're not attracting flies and nothing nasty is laying eggs in their fur.
- Dogs can get sunburn, especially if they have light fur or patches of very thin fur. You can get a non toxic SPF for them for when they are out in the sun.

Excerpted from Martin, Jay C. 1996. Preliminary Comparative and Theme Study of National Historic Landmark Potential for Thunder Bay, Michigan. Great Lakes Visual/Research, Inc. Lansing, MI.
The Great Lakes have been accessible to direct trade from saltwater since 1826, when the first lakes vessel inaugurated direct trade. This trade did not develop a foreign component for some years, but was well-established by the 1850s. Intercontinental foreign trade was particularly important during the Civil War when saltwater shipping was hard-pressed to meet American needs. Two Great Lakes schooners that were engaged in this trade were lost at Thunder Bay: the KYLE SPANGLER (1860) and the JOHN F. WARNER (1890).
Foreign trade took on a permanent presence around World War I. Foreign vessels were able to visit the Great Lakes with ease after the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 and today represent a substantial part of the shipping traffic on the lakes. Several propellers of foreign origin ended their careers in or near Thunder Bay; all were carrying break bulk cargo (the descendent of package freight). The Norwegian VIATOR (a pre-Seaway visitor) was lost in a collision south of Thunder Bay Island in 1935. The propeller MONROVIA sank in a collision fifteen miles off Thunder Bay Island in 1959, and the NORDMEER grounded because of human error north of Thunder Bay Island in November 1966 and became a total loss.

Minister Ossinovski: Proposal coming to reduce amount of alcohol legally taken across EU bordersJanuary 13, 2017
Minister of Health and Labour Jevgeni Ossinovski (SDE) is planning to propose to EU members a reduction of the amounts of alcohol that can legally be taken across union borders. Ossinovski intends to submit such a proposal in the course of Estonia's upcoming EU presidency.
Ossinovski was planning to work with Finance Minister Sven Sester (IRL) to convince European Union members to reduce the allowed amount of alcoholic beverages to be taken across the border. The demand is to be part of Estonia's program during its upcoming 2017 EU council presidency.
As the allowed amounts of alcohol an individual can take across national borders are regulated by the European Union across all of its territory, the agreement of all 28 member states is necessary to reduce them. As the EU's alcohol policy hadn't been made stricter in this regard in quite some time, Ossinovski considered the proposal reasonable, daily Eesti Päevaleht wrote on Thursday.

"AMOA-NY's tribute to Phil Cohn is our way of showing respect to a dynamic executive at one of the leading global digital media and jukebox companies," said AMOA-NY president Ken Goldberg, Emerson Amusement Co. (Woodside, NY). "Phil is highly regarded in the industry and is dedicated to the economic development concerns of operators. His strong work ethic, high sense of integrity, and commitment to the industry has made him an integral part of TouchTunes' success."
TouchTunes' in-venue interactive music and entertainment platform operates in more than 71,000 bars and restaurants in North America and Europe. Its jukeboxes are installed and serviced by independent vending operators. TouchTunes' mobile app, which allows patrons to purchase songs for play on jukeboxes, has reportedly been downloaded more than five million times. The company is headquartered in New York City, where Cohn is based, and has offices in Chicago, Montreal and London.
Cohn joined TouchTunes in September 2011 as senior vice-president of sales. After spending four years building sales and partnerships with operators and distributors, he was promoted to executive vice-president of sales and corporate marketing in October 2015. "We are proud of our strong relationships with our network of more than 2,500 jukebox operators," he said.
Prior to joining TouchTunes, Cohn was senior vice-president of sales and marketing of D&M Holdings Inc., which designs, manufactures and markets audio, video and other media equipment. He had also worked at Samsung and Sony, holding the post of sales director at both electronics concerns.

This play was created in consultation with over 150 seniors across Toronto and the GTA. Written by Chalmers Award winner Rex Deverell, the play begins with a retirement party.

The drama is punctuated with songs resonating with the determination of seniors who want neither to be dismissed nor forgotten. The skillful facilitators of Mixed Company Theatre will engage with the audience to bring hope and light into what could otherwise be a crisis of despair.
The production stars older actors with an array of backgrounds and experiences. If you've never experienced a piece of forum theatre, this is your chance to see how it works. This interactive play invites the audience to come on stage, take on the role of one of the characters and explore possible options to the issues presented.

The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center says that around 276,000 people in the U.S. have spinal cord injuries, with 12,500 new cases every year. Add in other conditions and the number of people with walking difficulties pushes into the millions.
A company called Parker Hannifin thinks it has a solution to partial mobility impairment with its Indego powered exoskeleton. The exoskeleton attaches to the user's legs and helps them walk. How well does it work? Watch the video below.
The exoskeleton is lightweight and modular so users can put it on and take it off themselves. It works like a Segway, using the direction the user is leaning to indicate where they want to go. There's also an app for better control.
Parker Hannifin isn't the only company to be working on powered walking devices, but it is the first to get FDA approval to sell the exoskeleton to consumers. Of course, it isn't cheap, at $80,000 per unit.
It might have to start out as a therapy tool in rehab centers before it filters down to the general population. The Department of Defense and other major U.S. rehab centers already have a four-year agreement to use it.

Let me get two things out of the way. One: Drive (2011) is a great "American" film highly recommended for intelligent film lovers that enjoy a good strong slice of adult entertainment. Two: Its has an 18 certificate which means that the film may include scenes of hard drug use, supernatural horror, explicit sex or in the case of the film under discussion, very strong gory violence. Where's he going with this you may well ask? Well I'll tell you, when you attend a cinema to view an "18" film you relinquish the right to complain about the films content, knowing full well that it will probably upset you if you have a weak disposition. Even so, in my opinion the film includes no more violence than your standard child's fairy story where the wicked are always punished in what can be violent and extreme ways, preserving innocence and purity against evil. I would suggest however that cinema goers take due account of the certificate that the BBFC award a movie before shelling out their well earned pennies. Enough of this rant, on to the business in hand.
As your now aware the RBC Film Club featured Drive on Monday night. The evening began with a short but precise introduction from our resident film scholar Connor McMorran. Described as 2011's coolest movie it tells a story about a man who is known only as Driver. An outsider, a skilled mechanic and a movie stuntman by day and a getaway driver by night, whose life appears to be managed by garage owner and cripple Shannon. When Driver meets Irene, a waitress in a local diner and mother of a young son Benicio, he suddenly finds a mission in life. Irene's husband comes out of jail with outstanding financial obligations to the local mob, our wheelman decides to throw his weight behind the ex-con to allow him to pay his dues and retire to a life of domestic bliss with his young family. Nothing goes to plan and subsequently throws Drivers life into an ever-increasing violent spiral.
The discussion that followed the screening raised some interesting points. Firstly how American was this movie? Its director Nicolas Winding Refn, known for violent movies including the Copenhagen based Pusher trilogy and the British movie Bronson (2008) (that elicited such a great performance from Tom Hardy), is Danish so the whole thing is filtered through the eyes of a budding auteur with a European perspective. Hossein Amini an Iranian wrote the screenplay adapted from the 2005 novel by James Sallis. In particular the lighting and the camera work gave it the feel of a European art house movie and along with the sudden intense violence of a modern South Korean film injected a edgy tension in to this very well made movie. Another point was the film influences. The director has acknowledged that both Peter Yate's Bullitt (1968) and John Schlesinger's 1975 movie The Day of the Locust were an influence. But I would suggest that Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western characters inspired the personality of Driver: an outsider, no background or past, no real name, lack of the spoken dialogue and like the cars he drives, has an unremarkable facade that deliberately masks the fearsome capability beneath the surface. I would suggest that the "coolness' could be based on a certain Mr Steve McQueen, some of the characters he played in the sixties and early seventies display similar characteristics.
|Driver gets to know his neighbour.
Something else that was discussed was the cast. Our stunt man was played by the very promising Ryan Gosling, a London born Canadian whose best work to date has been Half Nelson (2006) Lars and the Real Girl (2007) and a film recently shown at the RBC Film Club Blue Valentine (2010). Irene, an under written part which does not allow the 26-year-old British BAFTA winner Carey Mulligan any real acting scope. Mulligan made her feature film debut only 6 years ago in Pride and Prejudice (2005), since then I have seen her in And When Did You Last See Your Father (2007), Public Enemies (2009), her big break came with the award winning An Education (2009) and the highly acclaimed Never Let Me Go (2010). The mob connected Shannon is performed by Bryan Cranston an American TV and film actor who grew up in Los Angeles where the film is set. Shannon's mob connections are played by comedian Albert Brooks and Hell Boy himself Ron Perlman. Irene's husband is acted by Oscar Isaac who indecently was King John in Ridley Scott's Robin Hood (2010). The mysterious Blanche, involved in the robbery that when wrong, is portrayed by Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks. It was agreed that it was a very interesting and inspired cast who all played their part in making this stylish film one of the ever growing list of impressive American films. And don't forget to order the Chris Martinez soundtrack you won't be disappointed.

For teens who suffer from allergies due to pollen and other pollutants, spring usually means more sneezing and watery eyes. The good news is that you can get relief from this problem by growing certain houseplants that collect pollen and pollutants in their leaves -- helping to clean the air in your home. Most take very little care, and some low allergy houseplants even remove dangerous chemicals, such as formaldehyde, from the air.
So which houseplants relieve allergies the best? NASA conducted a Clean Air Study to determine which plants would work well in closed environments such as Mars and Lunar bases. The top plants they recommend include the following:
- Mums and peace lilies, which help to remove PCE from the air
- Golden pothos and philodendron, which can control formaldehyde
- Gerbera daisies to control benzene Areca palm to humidify the air
- Lady palm and bamboo palm as general air cleaners
- Dracaena, well known for grabbing allergens from the air and holding them in its leaves

BBC-TV News Rampaging vs Trump for Months
Something really awful has taken over the editorial staff of BBC-TV News. We've been watching the international station that we can get on our television for years, and although I've never been happy with its attitude/policy towards Israel, it generally stayed pretty clear of showing any great interest in most other national politics. The same goes for its radio news that we had listened to for decades.
As I remember, considering that this is the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, is that the only country's internal politics considered important is British. That's what is to be expected, and I have no doubt that british citizens who live all over the world count on BBC to tell them what they won't get on their local news stations. But ever since Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, they have regular gig chronicling his presidency, always showing him in the worst way possible.
They began by calling it something like "First Hundred Days," Trump's World: 100 Days of Change, BBC
In all the decades I've watched BBC News, including the two years we lived in London, I don't remember anything so negative about an American President. I think they were nicer about Imelda Marcos and certainly never had a special regular gig about any foreign leader. This anti-Trump campaign, and it is a campaign, is the worst type of editorializing there can be on a news station. And editorializing against a legally elected leader of an ally most definitely goes against the official principles of the BBC.
Ironically, they've been showing an "advertisement" for themselves which claims that they never give opinions. It is such an outrageous lie. You'd think -or is it possible?- that Hillary Clinton's speechwriter now works for the BBC!
We're very limited in the news stations we get via the "dish" we have. I can't take it anymore and hope the technician can set us up with a better variety.

keywords: Fishing sites, heavy metals, PCA, physicochemical
Water collected from fifteen active fishing sites in Niger, Kogi, Kwara, Benue states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were analyzed for its physico-chemical properties (pH, temperature, conductivity, total hardness and dissolved oxygen). The heavy metal contents (Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Pb and Cd) of the water samples were determined using MP-AES. The results obtained show that the pH of the water collected from Aliara fishing site in Kwara State was higher (8.111) and significantly different (p<0.05) from the pH of the water collected from other fishing sites. The mean conductivity values of the water collected from the study area (110.667-115.111 µs/cm) showed significant differences (p<0.05) from each other. Also, the Cu content in the water collected from Jabi mechanic fishing site (1.046 mg/dm3) was higher and differed (p<0.05) from the Cu content in the rest samples. Generally, the Zn (0.016-0.863 mg/dm3), Ni (0.001-0.074 mg/dm3) and Cr (0.001-0.062 mg/dm3) in the water samples from the study area were lower than the WHO permissible limits. However, the Cd content in these water samples evaluated in this study (0.005-0.015 mg/dm3) was higher than the WHO recommended permissible limits. The Principal component analysis (PCA) showed the following sequence: Pb>Ni>Cd>Cu>Zn>Cr. High level of heavy metals in River waters could be toxic to aquatic life and invariably affect humans following consumption. Relevant governmental agencies should enlighten the fishing communities on the best way to discharge their waste.

Loyverse POS was a turning point for our coffee business
Doi Chang Coffee Farm is a Coffee business that experienced a huge benefit from Loyverse POS at the time when they most needed it. Their business was growing, and altough taking orders manually by hand was feasible at the beginning, they soon realized that their system had to be upgraded. They eventually found Loyverse, and they couldn't wish for anything better!
Implementing the aplication in their tablets was a turning point for their business, and in their own words, "Our store's operation system is divided into two eras: before, and after Loyverse".
We asked them about their experience and they prepared an article for all of us. Enjoy!
Doi Chang Coffee Farm, Korea
We have been importing and distributing coffee directly from Thailand, for four years in Suwon, nearby Seoul. The main business is greenbeans wholesale and retail, however, once customers had shown interest in Doi Chang coffee, we started to run a small coffee shop, as well. The time for the customers' visit was fixed and the space was too small for a POS machine. Also, although I took orders by hand because the menu was simple, it was an inconvenience.
As the business expanded, I felt the limitation of taking orders by hand. Due to numerous missing orders, it was difficult to have accurate sales data. In the end, I felt the necessity of a POS installation, and I started to look for POS companies in Korea.
It was difficult to choose the right one due to unnecessary options and conditions of use. By chance, I came across a foreign POS system called 'Loyverse'. Loyverse POS is a free service, and what I found most attractive was the fact that my existing smartphones and tablets could simply download the POS app and be used right away. Although it is from a foreign company, it had multilingual support, including Korean. It was also a very simple process, to configure the system.
I have been using Loyverse POS already for several months. Doi Chang Coffee Farm has benefited from Loyverse for many reasons reasons.
First, wherever there is internet available, I can track the sales in my store very easily. Due to the nature of the business, the amount of work, delivering coffee beans to other different businesses, is significant. Therefore, I had to go out often. Even so, I could check my sales anytime, from my phone.
Second, I can use multiple mobile or tablet devices as POS devices. As soon as you install Loyverse POS into the employee's phone, the phone turns into a POS system. The ability to take orders at the same time with each POS can reduce customer's' wait time.
Third, Loyverse POS has a dedicated team offering great support. In the beginning I did not expect to get support, as it was a free and foreign company. But they have exceptional people on their team who took care of korean users. They gave clear and immediate answers in Korean. There is a chatting feature in the POS app, that allows the user to communicate with Loyverse experts at all times. I really saw their effort to listen to the customer and try to improve service by providing quick feedback.
Finally, It is possible to see accurate sales data analysis. From Loyverse backoffice, at a glance, I could see sales data by date, time, and item. This helped me to understand sales made in store, much more easily and helped to alleviate the ambiguity of data. I do not need to make any file for store reports. I can simply print out Loyverse reports.
It has been very satisfying and has helped me a lot with operating our store. Loyverse POS is a highly reliable service, and I recommend them to all small & medium business owners of various industries.
