Ghost of New York
Author: Frans de Waard
Publication: Vital Weekly
Date: 11/03/2009
Hot on the heels of last week's 'Alt' release, Frank Rothkamm now presents the first installment of the 3CD + 1DVD 'Tetralogy'.
In this first work the city of New York plays a central role, or actually the many people who lived, translated to music. No ambient music here like last week, but works from the analogue synthesizer, that depict quite well the hectic of the city, the crawling of so many people on such as small space. Sounds bouncing in all directions, but also very occasionally take back control and we see the contours of mighty sky scrapers, but also of much smaller buildings. Like always Rothkamm knows how to surprise me with his music.
This particular release wasn't the best I heard from him I must admit, it sounded a bit too easy, too much like 'Music From Forbidden Planet' type of synthesizer play, but it has some nice moments. But in his catalogue of music, this is surely another odd-ball. Odd-ball admitst other oddities.
This release lasts exactly 33 minutes and 33 seconds, in an edition of 333 copies, and released on 10/10/09 - the next one on 11/11/09 etc. - Numbers are great. (FdW)

The following is an interview with Mr. Sebastian, director and co-founder at hide.me VPN. We've been pretty impressed by the performances of this VPN provider and after we published our hide.me review we decided to get in contact with Mr. Sebastian to ask more information about his company and the future of the Internet. He was kind enough to use his time to answer our questions.
Good morning Mr. Sebastian. Would you like to introduce yourself and what you do at hide.me?
Hi, I'm the director and co-founder at hide.me VPN.
Would you like to spend some word to explain what is hide.me and what is your company's mission?
hide.me is the world's fastest VPN and we have one simple mission "make the Internet a secure place for every user in the world". Since the Snowden case, people have become more familiar and even concerned with issues related to online security and privacy.
Can we expect any Internet security improvement in the years to come?
Obviously, there are so many developments happening in the digital world. I don't see Internet security catching up at the same speed due to which we will see a lot of security compromises and over time it will eventually lead to more awareness. Overall I think media is playing a great role in educating people about the importance of being secure on the Internet and it is helping the cause to a great extent.
Many people believe that the news on online security is way too alarming. Wouldn't you agree that if the Internet is not used for sensitive tasks, our online security is not really at risk and therefore doesn't need to be protected?
No, I would disagree with that, as I mentioned that media needs to be even more unforgiving to every organization who does not act responsibly with their users' data and it's not just about sensitive tasks. The Internet is there to make our lives easier and it's our responsibility to make it secure, we can't just expect users to stop doing certain things on the Internet because that's not the solution, the solution is that companies need to become more responsible and be held accountable for all their users' data.
What is hide.me doing and what updates you have in store to protect your customers?
First of all, we don't collect any private customer data except their email addresses and we don't store any other data, not even payment data as we use third parties to facilitate payments. Every aspect of our VPN is designed to keep a bare minimum amount of data that could compromise the security of our customers.
Who are the Internet users that should consider hide.me services?
Every Internet user in the world should use hide.me or any other VPN service. It's our responsibility to explain to our users the risks they face when they are online. There are readily available software in the market which can help hackers intrude your privacy if you are on an insecure connection. So in a nutshell, every Internet user who wants to ensure that his privacy is not being intruded by ISPs, hackers or government agencies would use a VPN.
hide.me is a very popular VPN provider on the market. What makes your service appealing to the public?
We are a unique VPN provider as our emphasis is purely on quality. By quality, we mean that we want to make VPN a household commodity which is easy-to-use (no-techy) and lightning fast. Our VPN is built for fast connections and users don't feel a difference if they are connected to a VPN or not. The major reason for our popularity revolves around two things simplicity and speed, that's all a user wants.
More and more users are accessing the Internet through a mobile device. Are these devices less vulnerable than a desktop computer?
With mobile in the picture, users are even more vulnerable as this is a new technology and developers are not emphasizing on security as much as they should. Mobile devices connect very frequently to insecure networks and are more susceptible for abuse. However, we have stayed true to our mission and our VPN is fully compatible with every mobile OS (Android, iOS, Blackberry & Windows Phone 10).
On your website, you have decided to offer a Free Proxy service and a Free VPN account. How do they differ from the paid VPN service?
Our Free VPN is an effort to make VPN as widely used as possible. We think Internet security and privacy is a basic right and everyone should have access to it irrespective of their ability to afford it or not. Our Free plan allows a user to have 2GB data transfer limit per month and the users can renew it as many times as they want to. We have two paid plans Plus & Premium. The Plus plan allows a user 75GB data transfer limit per month with one simultaneous VPN connection and our Premium plan is completely unlimited and allows 5 simultaneous VPN connections. The paid plans have more features as compared to our Free plan such as the number of server locations and available VPN protocols.
Do you have any personal advice on how to make a savvy use of the Internet and have digital freedom?
Just think of the Internet as your mobile phone, do you leave it unattended (insecure) and if you do what happens? Someone takes it right away, same is the case with your privacy. If you don't keep it secure someone will take it away from you, so just make sure you understand how important your privacy and security is and we will get closer to a safer Internet.

Murray Selected to 2014-15 AHL First All-Star Teamby Staff Writer / Pittsburgh Penguins
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, in conjunction with the American Hockey League, have announced that goaltender Matt Murray has been named to the 2014-15 AHL First All-Star Team, as voted by coaches, players and media in each of the league's 30 member cities.
A third-round draft pick (83rd overall) by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2012 NHL Draft, Murray is 24-9-3 in 38 appearances for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season and ranks first in the league in goals-against average (1.50), save percentage (.943) and shutouts (12). His 12 shutouts are the most by a rookie goaltender in AHL history and one short of the record set by Jason LaBarbera (2003-04 – Hartford)
Murray has rewritten the AHL record books during his first-year of professional hockey. From Feb. 3 to Feb. 8, the 20-year-old backstopped the Penguins through a scoreless streak of 304 minutes and 11 seconds, breaking Barry Brust's mark during the 2012-13 season with Abbotsford Heat.
Murray has been named CCM/AHL Player of the Week twice and was CCM/AHL Goaltender of the Month in both February and March. The native of Thunder Bay, Ont., is only the second player in league history to earn the honor in consecutive months (Philippe Sauve, Hershey – 2002).
Murray becomes the fifth Penguins player and third goaltender to be selected to the AHL First All-Star Team, joining John Slaney (2000-01), Dany Sabourin (2005-06), Micki DuPont (2006-07) and Briand Thiessen (2010-11). He also joins Niklas Svedberg (2012-13) as the only rookie goaltender in the last 20 years to earn First Team All-Star honors.

The International Bar Association publication Water Law News includes an article in its August edition authored by Lynn Grayson of Jenner & Block Law Firm titled Flint, Michigan Water Crisis: Lessons Learned ("Article").
The Article can be accessed through the Jenner & Block Corporate Environmental Lawyer blog.
The blog notes that the article provides a detailed factual account of the circumstances, decisions and governmental actions that led to the discovery of elevated levels of lead in Flint's drinking water. It also notes that the article addresses:
. . .possible lessons learned from the Flint situation, including regulatory oversight failures, aging infrastructure and environmental justice considerations. In her opinion, a quote from Michigan Governor Snyder when he testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform best summarizes what happened in Flint: ". . .Let me blunt: this was a failure of government at all levels – local, state and federal officials – we all failed the families of Flint."

So much more to be extraordinary.
I don't find writing for my Red Bubble journal particularly compelling. It seems to serve little or no purpose except for that brief moment of glory in seeing your latest post listed on the Red Bubble home page.
Which is a frustrating moment. Your carefully crafted essay is bumped off the list by several people who all made mundane, one sentence entries that failed to challenge or even record any kind of thought provoking observation. Fleeting, minimal, throw away comments.
For a short time, whilst you're on the home page, your post may attract comments. Grateful though I am to those of you who have. There is nothing to notify you of receiving a response so you may check back in – if you remember. If you're up for continuing the discussion.
The Red Bubble journal page seems to serve no purpose unless I use it to write about the art that I have uploaded. Then, maybe, it can provide further information. However the description, included along side the artwork, is more than adequate for this so the idea seems redundant.
Perhaps sharing more of myself makes me seem more human but who really factors in the quality of writing in an online journal when making an art print purchase? Do buyers even read these journals or is it just a lot of navel gazing by us creative types? … oh look a bit of fluff!
Perhaps these entries are for the joy of writing or for recording your work in progress? I'm sure there are any number of possibilities. I already have a blog for my joy of writing. I already have a blog for my work in progress. I have several other neglected blogs that contain a few gems of writing (if I do say so myself).
I don't find the Red Bubble Journal compelling. There's little to set it apart. It needs more work. More features. More to encourage reading, communication, interactivity.
What about a list of my 5 previous entries in a side bar? What about an additional list of 5-10 related entries by other writers in a side bar (lets get those tags working)? What about notifying people via email or on their profile when a journal entry they've commented upon receives a comment? What about being able to respond to a journal entry with a journal entry of your own?
So maybe Red Bubble isn't really for writers…maybe it's more about the art. Selling prints. Well why not add similar features there? Imagine looking at an image and seeing five more related image thumbnails in the side bar?
There is so much more that could be done to make this site extraordinary. There's so much more that could…no would…bring this community closer together.

We deal with some of the funkiest artists & musicians every day, so it's great being able to tell what's going on in South Africa. As a loving husband, father of 2 beautiful boys, and passionate South African, its really cool to be able to say that my business is also my pleasure.

Our December potluck meeting was held at our usual meeting place at the Greenwood Recreation Centre.
Jacki showed off the socks she knit with the yarn handpainted at a spinning and knitting retreat a couple of years ago. We handpainted sock blocks that were knit with two strands of sock yarn. When the yarn was unravelled, two identical balls of yarn were yielded.

"Welcome to the camp,
I guess you all know why we're here."
-The Who, "We're Not Gonna Take It" from Tommy (1969)
Who do you think you are?
Okay, fair enough. My name is Bryson David Hoff. I am, as of this writing, on the cusp of starting my junior year of college. I attend Millikin University, a small, private college in Decatur, IL, where I study Theatre and Creative Writing. I am also an Honors Student and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, one of the country's largest men's social fraternities.
If you are really interested, you can check out my Blogger profile or better yet, read what I end up writing on here, as it will (hopefully) be more entertaining than any dry biography I could hope to type up. Next question.
Why "An Upstart Crow"? Kind of pretentious, don't you think?
Yeah, a little bit. Let me explain.
The name comes from an Elizabethan theatre critique written by Robert Greene, who offered one of the first reviews of the work of William Shakespeare. The exact quote is:
"... there is an upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his Tiger's heart wrapped in a Players hide, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you: and being an absolute Iohannes fac totum, is in his own conceit the only Shake-scene in a country."
Basically, I chose the title as a reminder that Shakespeare, who you'll quickly see is a big hero of mine, started out being thought of as some pretentious punk from the boonies who had no business trying to be anything more. And if him, why not me?
Not to be corny or anything.
Don't you think the internet has enough blogs? Why add another one?
Ah, yes, now we're getting somewhere. Basically, this coming semester I'll be taking part in a study abroad program. From September through December, I'll be living and studying in London. One of the courses is called Blogging From Overseas. Hopefully you can see where I'm going with this.
Anyway, during that time I'll be writing about my experiences and everything I see and do during my time in Europe. My hope is that keeping this blog will be fun enough that it'll keep going even after the course has ended and I've returned to the United States. That's mostly on you, though, hypothetical reader, since writing without an audience gets tiring and frustrating after awhile. I know. I write poetry.
Do you always write like this?
Yeah, basically. I promise to try to be more interesting when I've got actual things to write about. The verboseness, though, never really goes away.
Anyway, I don't really know how to end this post, so here's a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head:
He's a flap-jack rabbit! *ba-dump ching*

We all have many things to cope with when embarking on a shopping trip. Disabled people have a few more things than most when navigating the High Street, like other shoppers busy doing their own thing, an abundance of street furniture, bits of litter, but worse of all? Chewing gum.
Stop it at source?
Chewing gum manufacturers must help pay for the multi-million pound cost of removing discarded gum from streets say councils, who warn the problem is becoming "a plague on the country's pavements".
For anyone who has had to scrape gum of the sole of their shoe, wheel of their wheelchair or off their glove, a solution has been a long time coming!
Food companies are being told they should help shoulder the costs of removing discarded chewing gum from pavements and create products which decompose once spat out.
The Local Government Association (LGA), which represents almost 400 councils in England and Wales, is calling for gum giants to pay part of the £60 million annual removal cost. That figure would enable councils to fill in over a million potholes. The LGA wants a 'producer pays' principle to apply, which means manufacturers would contribute to the cost of ensuring proper disposal.
The LGA points out that the average piece of gum costs about 3p to buy – but 50 times that to clean up (£1.50). Most chewing gum never biodegrades and once it is trodden into the pavement this requires specialised equipment to remove. Gum manufacturers should also be switching to biodegradable and easier-to-remove chewing gum.
Singapore had a different idea
Lee Kuan Yew is famed as the man who turned Singapore from a small port into a global trading hub. But he also insisted on tidiness and good behaviour – and personified the country's ban on chewing gum.
The ban remains one of the best-known aspects of life in Singapore, along with the country's laws against litter, graffiti, jaywalking, spitting, expelling "mucous from the nose" and urinating anywhere but in a toilet. (If it's a public toilet, you are legally required to flush it.)
When Singapore became independent in 1965 it was a tiny country with few resources, so Lee, the country's first prime minister, hatched a survival plan. This hinged on making the city state a "first-world oasis in a third-world region". Before very long, Singapore was outstripping other developed countries in terms of its cleanliness, clipped lawns, and efficient transport system. The Cambridge-educated Lee, it seems, was aiming for perfection.
Since 2004 – as a result of the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement – pharmacists and dentists have also been allowed to sell "therapeutic" gum, to customers with a medical prescription. This includes standard sugar-free gum. You'd still face a steep fine for spitting out the chewed gum and leaving it as litter.
Is a ban sensible?
Many would say 'Yes!' others argue is smacks of a 'nanny state' something often aimed at Singapore. The evidence shows that a ban works, few people chew gum in Singapore. But for local council's the cost is a large draw on local funds.
One man is making a positive use of discarded gum, by making the streets of London a little more colourful by painting miniature pictures on pieces of discarded chewing gum.

here they are:
"Come With Me Now" by Kongos: Considering the amount of influence this song seems to have from Paul Simon's South African sounding "Graceland" record, the name "Kongos" seems quite apt for this band! The accordions in the intro seem to come straight from "The Boy In the Bubble", and it has a similar rhythm to the song as well. The "Graceland" influence is not the only thing "Come With Me Now" has going for it, though. It also has a Kings of Leon/Killers style guitar solo in the middle of it. World music and alt-rock haven't fused together so smoothly since U2's "The Joshua Tree"! As if that wasn't enough, a friend of mine online also informed me that "Come With Me Now" is the "theme song" for Chicago ice hockey team, The Blackhawks, so perhaps THAT has something to do with its current success!
"Me And You" by Jake Bugg: This song also seems Paul Simon influenced, but more for the songs he did in the '70s than what he did in the '80s. It is, perhaps, the most heartfelt song so far from U.K. folk-rock sensation, Jake Bugg, whose songs are normally underscored with sarcasm and/or street smarts of some sort (both of these factors came to an extreme in his punk-y "What Doesn't Kill You"). "Me And You" has neither, and is more of a sincere love song, though it also seems to be about escaping societal pressures. It lacks the defiance of Jake Bugg's other material, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. After all, every tough guy has a soft side! Perhaps the only blow to this song is how it is the first Jake Bugg song that has been featured in "American Idol". How that happened, I have no idea!! Maybe this means that "Idol" has been getting more folk-rock friendly, though, as the show has with musicians like Phillip Phillips.
"Shelter Song" by Temples: "Eight...miles...high!!" Oh wait, wrong song!! This does sound an awful lot like The Byrds, though! "Shelter Song" has been out since January of this year, but it seems to have been only recently that the song has received a significant boost in airplay on adult alt stations. Boy, was I missing out!! Anything that sounds like The Byrds (R.E.M., anyone?! Gin Blossoms?!) I seem to take an immediate liking to, and "Shelter Song" is no exception! Both the sound and lyrics of this song ("take me away to the twilight zone", "I read a poem aloud", etc.) are pure '60s. Groovy, man, groovy!!
"Supernova" by Ray LaMontagne: Until now, I had thought of Ray LaMontagne as being a "poor man's Van Morrison". Though I admire Van the Man very much, Ray always seemed like he was trying a bit too hard to emulate Van's sound. Thankfully, Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys came to the rescue for Ray's latest album, and, as a result, produced catchy songs like "Supernova" that float between folk-rock and psychedelia! There is noticeably more mingling of electric and acoustic guitars in "Supernova", which give it a sound that seems vaguely like something from Crosby Stills & Nash, or perhaps Fleetwood Mac. "Supernova" has something that no other Ray LaMontagne songs have had for me so far. It has the power to get stuck in my head!!
"The Struggle" by Grizfolk: The last song for this week's blog has much in common with the first song of this week's blog! Both songs are "fusion" songs of sorts (this one combines Elvis Costello-esque organs, folk-rock guitars, and a Killers-ish dance floor ready alt-pop sound), and both songs have gotten a sudden boost in popularity due to being featured in non-radio media ("The Struggle" has been featured on the supernatural drama series, "The Originals"). The title of this song tells all as far as the lyrics are concerned, and it all comes to a head in the end of the song, which explains that "The struggle you are up against makes you what you are". The theme of the song may revolve around hardships, but it is no struggle at all to listen to a tune that's as catchy as this one!

Hey there! Have you been living under a rock? If not you've definitely heard a lot about La La Land
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were in London for the premiere this week, absolutely slaying it as per usual
but whilst Ryan was doing interviews on the red carpet, he spotted a reporter's, let's face it, pretty incredible phone case
and his reaction is PRICELESS
At first he's pretty casual
and then he gets a little bit disturbed
Needless to say, he's creeped out AF
Ryan Gosling, a gift to us all!

Town Manager Stephen Seidel has hired retired Fire Chief Rick Lasky to serve as the Interim Fire Chief for the Trophy Club Fire Department. Interim Chief Lasky's first day is Monday, May 2nd.
"It's a tremendous honor to serve as Interim Fire Chief for the Trophy Club Fire Department. The Town of Trophy Club has a strong sense of community, one that values family, so the decision was an easy one," said Interim Chief Lasky.
"This is a great fire department with great firefighters and officers, and our goal will be to provide the continued leadership and guidance that will keep the Trophy Club Fire Department as one of the most respected in the Metroplex."
Town Manager Seidel is thrilled to welcome Interim Chief Lasky to the organization. "Interim Chief Lasky is regionally and nationally respected, and Trophy Club is lucky to have him serve our Town as the interim Fire Chief," said Town Manager Seidel. Seidel went on to say, "Chief Thomas served our community for many years and helped establish a high standard for our Fire Department. Interim Chief Lasky has big shoes to fill."
Fire Chief Danny Thomas recently retired after 34 years in Fire Service.
Rick Lasky, a 35-year veteran of the fire service, served as chief of the Lewisville (TX) Fire Department for 12 years, prior to that as Fire Chief in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. Rick followed in his father's footsteps beginning his career as a firefighter in the suburbs on the southwest side of Chicago and has been a line firefighter, firefighter-paramedic, company grade officer, training officer and command-level officer.
While in Illinois he received the 1996 International Society of Fire Service Instructors "Innovator of the Year" award for his part in developing the "Saving Our Own" program, a program designed to teach firefighters how to save firefighters that have become trapped or lost in a burning building. Throughout his 30-plus years in the fire service he has served as a career and volunteer firefighter. Rick is a long-standing editorial advisory board member for Fire Engineering Magazine and as an author has written over 200 technical articles that have been published in national fire-rescue journals. These magazine articles relate to fire department operations, administration, training and safety. He is the author of the best-selling books "Pride and Ownership-A Firefighter's Love of the Job" and "Five Alarm Leadership: From the Firehouse to the Fireground" published by PennWell Books and is the co-host for the radio show "The Command Post" heard on Fire Engineering Talk Radio.
Rick has also served as a police officer and was wounded on several occasions, once while defending a victim of family violence and has received numerous fire and police awards and commendations. Rick holds an AAS Degree in Fire Science from Columbia Southern University and was selected as the CSU 2012 Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) Outstanding Graduate. He was also honored in 2011 as an inductee into the Chicago Softball Hall of Fame. He is a Lewisville Honorary Police Officer and Honorary Battalion Commander in the 18th Battalion of the FDNY.
Rick lectures at the local, state, national and international levels and is a sought-after speaker by both the public and private sectors. A very popular speaker on a variety of leadership topics, he has been requested by several businesses and corporations to deliver his inspiring and meaningful leadership development programs. He is married to his best friend Jami and they have two children, Rick, a FMF Navy Corpsman and Emily, an outstanding college fastpitch softball player.

One of the most established and iconic names in travel wanted to develop a comprehensive social media monitoring programme to better understand customer conversations happening about their brands on social media
A globally recognised travel company required real time insight into discussions about their business happening on social media. Despite running over 15 customer facing brands in the UK alone, no central social media monitoring programme was in place, meaning the company was limited in their understanding of online reputation surrounding their brands.
Social Media Brand Experts compiled an extensive list of the travel group's social media accounts, covering the vast online footprint of the company's EU source markets. Our research helped the company's group heads to understand the wide reach of their social media footprint, hitherto an unknown quantity due to the lack of a centralised monitoring programme.
Our team of experts established the important keywords to be monitored in connection with their brand, reporting daily to key individuals within the business on social media activity, specifically within the UK, and also across the whole group. The ability to identify negative sentiment, and establish complaint type via category, enabled department heads to address issues raised by customers not previously solved by colleagues within their 27,000 strong work force.
With 22 million customers travelling with the company annually, instant alerts needed to be set up to key operations teams in relation to potential threats which could have affected the business. This ranged from monitoring social media for up to date information surrounding flight delays, incidents at resorts, or potential terror threats which could have had a substantial impact on operations.
The additional provision of a monthly group report helped C level executives within the company to gain a good level of understanding about the online trends, individual brand successes, influencers and demographic data surrounding their company and its place within the global travel industry.
Effective social media monitoring helped the travel brand to reduce negative sentiment from 22% to 1% in just 3 months, part of which was attributed to the identification of customer complaints on Twitter that did not directly address any of the company's profiles. The monitoring provided by Social Media Brand Experts was linked to the work being carried out by the social media customer care teams from across the UK and additional source markets, part of a conscious restructuring and streamlining of the travel group's internal communications.
