UMA wraps up 2nd Bliss Songwriting Invitational
Respected music business executives Michael Taylor (MD of Universal Music Australia) and Peter Coquillard (Music Publisher and Industry Veteran), co-founders of The Invitational Group, recently wrapped their second annual BLISS Songwriting Invitational on October 17th. The Invitational Group curates events that inspire genuine collaborations between the industry's elite recording artists, producers and songwriters.
This year, the exclusive group included: Kesha (multiplatinum recording artist), Sacha Skarbek (Grammy nominated and 2-time Ivor Novello winning writer of Wrecking Ball for Miley Cyrus and You're Beautiful for James Blunt), and Mitch Allan, writer of the US and UK #1 hit Want to Want Me for Jason Derulo.
Music studios were built aboard a 45-meter yacht called the BLISS, owned by Tom Misner, founder of the Schools of Audio Engineering, which was docked this year in Antibes, France.
The group also included Mollie King, member of the chart-topping UK band The Saturdays, who worked on songs for her upcoming solo project with producers and writers such as Taylor Parks (Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony), Stuart Crichton (Selena Gomez, Kylie Minogue), and Chelcee Grimes (Kylie Minogue, Jessie J). Brit Award winning songwriter of the year James Newman, who recently worked with UK band Rudimental on a single featuring Ed Sheeran, also attended. Rudimental's album debuted at #1 the day before his arrival in Antibes.
Also in attendance were Jamie Hartman (BMI and Ivor Novello award winning writer/producer of James Bay and Conrad Sewell), Matt Simons (#1 artist in Belgium and Netherlands, working on his debut album for Universal Republic US), Erik Lewander (Girl's Generation) and Tushar Apte, a breakout producer whose single Zero with Chris Brown is currently climbing the charts.
Attendees collaborated on songs in the custom music studios using top quality instruments and equipment provided by PMC Speakers and ROLI. Guests also used their personally monogrammed pens provided by CROSS, to write lyrics and concepts while lounging in the CROSS Creative Lounge.
Social engagements and activities were also enjoyed, such as a dinner hosted by SOCAN (the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) at local gourmet restaurant Le Jardin. Chad Richardson, general manager of SOCAN's Los Angeles division, was in attendance to act as an ambassador and discuss opportunities for collaborations between Canadian, American, and European writers.

Biographical sketch of John Pegg, from "Portrait and Biographical Record, Randolph County, Indiana", by A.W. Bowen & Co., Chicago, IL. Published 1894.
John Pegg, of White River Township, Randolph County, Indiana, was born in Guilford County, North Carolina, May 17, 1800. He was a son of Reuben and Rachel (Chambless) Pegg, early settlers of the Carolinas, and descendants of an English family, which came to the United States in the time of the colonies. In early manhood, John Pegg left the parental roof and came to Indiana, locating at Richmond, Wayne County; thence, about the year 1831, made his way to the county of Randolph and entered a tract of land in Section 28, White River Township, where he carved out a farm from what was then an unbroken wilderness. Subsequently he added to his original purchase, and in time, became the owner of a valuable farm of 164 acres, the greater part of which, under his judicious care and management, was brought to a high state of cultivation. On the 12th day of February, 1829, Mr. Pegg was united in marriage to Lydia Cloud, daughter of Mordecai and Rebecca (Thornton) Cloud, of Warren County, Ohio, the fruit of which union was the following children: Mrs., Jane L. Teagle, deceased; William; Rebecca, wife of J. Hurst; Rachel, wife of A. Giberson; Martin; Mrs. Lydia Moore, deceased; John; Mrs. Minerva Oren, deceased; Jesse; Lucinda, wife of H. Wolfe, and Lurene, wife of B. F. Edwards.
Mr. Pegg followed farming all his life and met with well-earned success in that useful calling. As a neighbor and citizen he was highly esteemed, and during a long and remarkably useful life, he enjoyed, in a full degree, the respect and confidence of all with which he had business or other relations. While not identified with any church or religious organization, he was a firm believer in the morality as taught by the Sacred Scriptures, and his character as a man was ever above reproach, and the integrity of his motives was never known to have been questioned. Originally a Whig, he afterward exercised the elective franchise in behalf of the Republican Party, and while always taking a lively interest in matters political, he never aspired to official position, preferring to give the best energies of his mind to his business and to the proper rearing of his family. Upright in his dealings, he earned reputation of which any man might feel justly proud, and the memory of a life well spent and duties well performed is the most valuable legacy to a grateful posterity. The death of this good man occurred April 7, 1867, in White River Township, and in his departure the community lost a noble citizen, his neighbors a kind and faithful counselor, and his immediate family a true and faithful husband and a kind and indulgent father. Mrs. Pegg is still living, having reached a ripe old age, and is surrounded by her children, who rise up and call her blessed. She has thirty living grandchildren and twenty-one great-grandchildren, and all who know her unite in praising her for the great amount of good which she has accomplished, as well as for her many noble qualities of mind and heart.

Salted Fudge Brownies
Lynnda Cloutier
·1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
·2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
·1/4 cup plus 2 t. unsweetened cocoa powder
·2 cups sugar
·3 large eggs
·1 1/2 t. pure vanilla extract
·1 cup flour
·1/2 t. maldon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling, optional
How to Make Salted Fudge Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9 inch square metal cake pan with foil, draping the foil over the edges. Lightly butter the foil. In large pan, melt butter with the unsweetened chocolate over very low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Whisking them in one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated, add the unsweetened cocoa, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and flour. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the 1/2 t. salt evenly over the batter. Using a butter knife, swirl the salt into the batter. Bake in center of oven for about 35 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still a bit soft and a toothpick inserted in center comes out coated with a little of the batter. Let cool at room temperature in the pan for 1 hour, then refrigerate just until firm, about 1 hour longer. Lift the brownie from the pan and peel off the foil. Cut into 16 squares, sprinkle with sea salt if desired and serve the brownies at room temperature. The brownies can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and frozen for up to 1 month. Makes 16 brownies.
This recipe requires a flaky sea salt, like Maldon, because the flavor is mild and the salt melts so nicely into the batter.

Sunday, April 1, 2012Posted in GAP ,| Mshindi |
What a couple of months its been! Larry has settled in well with his new family and aside from a quick reminder from the resident cats (Aggie and Gus) on day one , everyone has gotten along well and he's definitely developed a soft spot for Aggie. :)
Larry's personality is really starting to show through now, he's actually quite sneaky when he wants to be , as his new Dad found out after leaving his steak on the bench and turning around for a couple of seconds!!! :)
He has his own couch in the sun room where he spends his time keeping an eye on the comings and goings of the street but at night he sleeps next to our bed. On the weekends he likes nothing better than to jump up onto the bed for a cuddle and a bit of a sleep in and has even been known to curl up with the cats if no one else is available.
Larry has fast become a special part of our family and it's hard to imagine what is was like without him around!

A fag-end spurt in buying tracking strong global cues helped the benchmark BSE Sensex to rally by 330 points to close the day at one-and-a-half week high of 27,701.79 on Monday, completing three days of gains.
The 30-share BSE index began the day's trade on a positive note and a sudden spurt in buying in the last session lifted the index to 27,701.79 at close, a rise of 329.95 points or 1.21% from its previous close.
The Sensex had surged by 991.66 points or 3.71% in three days of gains.
The 50-issue NSE Nifty also jumped by 98.80 points or 1.20% to end above 8,300-mark at 8,324.00.

Crude prices climbed to above USD 62 a barrel. Traders said there is consensus in markets worldwide about crude remaining above USD 60 for the rest of the year now.

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth a net Rs 668.85 crore last Friday as per provisional data.
"On the domestic front, the final report of the Suresh Prabhu-led advisory group on developing power and coal sectors has added to reform expectations.

Harold Camping, the American who said the world would end on Saturday 21st May 2011, has now said he got it slightly wrong. There was a spiritual judgment, not a physical one, he said, on that day, which he watched 'flabbergasted' when Christians were not raptured from all over the world - or from anywhere.
The destruction of the world will now be on 21st October, he says. Don't cancel any plans on the strength of that, is my advice. I should expect the return of the Lord at the feast of Tabernacles, which begins 13th October this year, and ends with that great day of the feast (Numb 29:35-36; John 7:37) on 20th. WHat Camping's reasoning is for 21st October I have no clue.
Pastor Glenn Lee Hill, retired pastor from Rocky Mount, N.C., foresaw that Camping's false prophecy would be mocked and all Christians would be painted with a broad stroke.
"Because when it fails, all of us who believe in Jesus will become fodder for the comics, the late-night talk show hosts, and others who are always looking for a new excuse to mock our faith," said Hill. "Christianity, the name of Jesus, and all of us who love Him will bear the embarrassment of this false prophecy."
For Mr Camping to say the judgment was spiritual not physical is of course a cop-out. Every day is Judgment Day with God. Every day his judgment falls on the good and on the wicked, either in blessing or cursing. Every soldier blown apart in Afghanistan, every young boy trapped into homosexuality, every father murdered by a gang outside his home, every sexually-transmitted disease, every unborn child killed by abortion, every robbery, every divorce, every act of slander and every act of violence is a judgment on our land.
Here is God's vision of a society which is receiving blessing rather than cursing:
Psalm 144:12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
Or if we prefer a slightly longer version:
Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Yes it's true: the saying "the best things in life are free" does extend to travelling. So free yourself of travel companies, hotel chains and tour guides for the opportunity and challenge of a lifetime!
Working on farms (WWOOFing)
There are many programs and independent farmers looking for eager travellers to help on farms all over the world, but by far the most well known is WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). The idea is simple: connect farms looking for cheap help, with travellers looking to learn a little something about organic farming while exploring a new area and meeting new people. It benefits everyone, and means that on top of cheap travel with your room and food provided by the farmer; you also get the opportunity to learn some farming skills!
Summer camps
Think "Beaver Falls" and "Parent Trap" and you will have the image of cute log cabins surrounding a serene lake with campfire singsong and archery practice. With few qualifications required, great accommodation and food, and paid well enough to go off exploring the rest of the country in your weeks off, this is the ideal option for many. If you are looking for a more rewarding experience than teaching well-off American children a selection of outdoor pursuits, there are charitable camps too. For example there are many camps for the disabled, as well as camps all over Europe, Asia, and Africa too.
Au pair
Many websites offer a helpful system of pairing young potential nannies with families abroad, but lots of them require you to have some childcare qualifications. By far the best experiences are had by those who go to a family they are already connected with. Look after the children while the parents are working and then explore the area! Au pairs can often look forward to perks such as their own room or apartment and even their own car. You are also likely to be paid (although not much). However, it can be difficult to get time off to explore the surrounding area.
Summer schools at foreign universities
Students wishing to make the most of their summers will be drawn to this option. Summer study abroad programmes offer a balance between travelling to somewhere new and continuing your commitment to your university experience. You can take courses in many things, but many students choose to take a language course, or a course that the university is specifically known for. Scholarships are available for travelling and living expenses as well as the university fees. You can always go and visit the friends you will make here the summer after as well!
Volunteering abroad is a great way to mix travelling with doing something for the community. It also meansthat you have the opportunity to really get involved in the local community, which can be difficult as a tourist. There are volunteering placements covering everything: working in hospitals; schools and social centres; and animal and environmental conservation are just a few options. Choose a project which really interests you in order to make the most of your experience.
This kind of travelling is not possible everywhere in the world, and where it is it should be done with precaution, following certain safety rules. Never travel alone or at night, and follow your gut instinct – if you get a bad feeling about someone, don't get in their car! When done right, this can be an excellent method of travelling. It allows you to benefit from local knowledge and get lifts to places where buses and trains wouldn't normally stop.
Enter competitions
However unlikely it is that you'll win the luxury yachting trip to Bali or the month long jungle expedition through the Amazon, it only takes two minutes to apply and you have nothing to lose! Look out for travel photography or blog competitions that are usually run by big newspapers, camera companies or travel guides, which will have less applicants.
Crew a yacht
Whether you are an able seaman or have never been on a boat in your life, crewing a yacht is one of the most rewarding travelling experiences. Jobs range from: deckhand, cook and hostess, to officer, first mate and captain. The intense work load during passage is paid off whilst docked in exciting places around the world. Being on a boat also enables you to explore areas of the world inaccessible to the traditional tourist. Hidden beaches and coves can become highlights of the trip.
House sit
Websites such as HouseCarers and MindMyHouse allow people with second homes an opportunity to advertise for a house sitter. The deal is that you can stay in say a villa in the south of France and in turn you water the plants, sort the post and feed the cat. Usually no money changes hands, but sometimes the housesitter can expect a little pay depending on the amount of chores they are expected to do. This is a great and easy way to get a free holiday, although it does limit your opportunity for travel.
Use your connections
If university is about anything, it's meeting new people from walks of life you have never experienced. Whether it's your flatmate from Florence or course friend from Cardiff, get out there and benefit from free floor space and local expertise!
So leave your iPads, Netflix account and comfy sofa at home next summer, pack trust, optimism and freedom into an old backpack and explore the world!

Michigan. You love it. You love the lakes, the forests, the cities, and you love the culture. You love your local music scene and you love being an active participant in it. You want to live in a place where music thrives and creativity flows.
We all know, though, thriving isn't a sure thing. The life of an artist is tough and the pull to the Coasts is real. How many times have you seen an artist feel the need to leave to find the infrastructure and support they need?
Michigan House believes deeply that art and music need to thrive in our communities. We too feel the love you feel for this scene of ours and we want to help provide more artists with the help and exposure they need to do the thing they love. For five years, we've been connecting Michigan artists to SXSW's global audience. This year we need your help.
Supporting this kickstarter will help us bring the 10 Michigan musicians below to Austin, TX to play a Michigan Music party and various other gigs around the city. This funding is vital to our ability to continue supporting Michigan's Music Scene and the thriving culture it helps to create.
The Michigan Musicians
- Michigander
- Tiny Jag
- Stef Chura
- Steppes
- Jack Droppers & the Best Intentions
- The Seventh
- Castelle
- Noveliss
- Brother Elsey
- Jordan Hamilton
So what is Michigan House?
Michigan House is the Great Lake State's experiential embassy to SXSW and it's global audience. Over six days Michigan House will give innovators and creators from around the state a platform to connect with some of the brightest minds from around the world. Check the website for the full schedule and follow the journey on Instagram.
Risks and challenges
Even in year 5 we're constantly aware of the risks and challenges that come along with trying to create a large-scale experience during one of the worlds most famous events. Our experience has taught us the levels of planning and attention to detail that are needed to make Michigan House a reality.

The contest is open to anyone and everyone (clergy and lay leaders) who wants to submit a sermon, homily, or message of faith in action related to care for God's creation! Four finalists will be selected to give their sermons at Earth Ministry's Celebration of St. Francis in Seattle, WA on October 2.
Submission Deadline: July 31, 2010
Contest Rules
Sermons must be no longer than 8-10 minutes in length and focus on a creation-care theme. The most successful entries will be inspiring, have a compelling delivery and a clear call to action, and be rooted in theology and scripture. Sermons must be submitted in written format. The deadline for submission is July 31, 2010. Send submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail to Earth Ministry, 6512 23rd Ave NW, Suite #317, Seattle, WA, 98117.
Entries will be accepted from anywhere within the United States; finalists must provide their own transportation to Seattle. Home stays are available, if desired. Feel free to nominate other people!

Finalists will be notified by August 10, 2010.
Sermons will be initially screened by a panel of clergy and lay judges and narrowed to four finalists. The sermon contest is a fundraiser to support the religious environmental work of Earth Ministry.

The People's Choice Award will go to the contestant with the highest number of votes as indicated on the donation ballot.

UPDATE: U.S. watchdog on Afghanistan releases corrected Afghan troop numbers
KABUL — As Afghanistan continues to struggle with conflict and insecurity at the hands of two aggressive insurgencies, the number of Afghan soldiers and police has declined sharply in the past year, the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction said in a report released Tuesday.
The report, by the U.S. government watchdog agency known as SIGAR, found that the combined roster of military and police forces fell nearly 11 percent over the past year, from about 331,700 in January 2017 to about 296,400 this January. That was far below the total authorized strength of 334,000.
The report came at a time of intensified insurgent attacks in the capital and across the country. In recent weeks, Islamic State militants have carried out several deadly suicide attacks in Kabul, one outside a voter ID registration center that killed 55 people, and twin blasts on Monday in a high-security official zone that killed 25, including nine journalists.
Taliban insurgents, meanwhile, have kept up a high rate of attacks across rural provinces, including Faryab and Ghowr in the west, Baghlan and Kunduz in the north, and Helmand and Nimruz in the south and west. Snubbing an offer of peace talks by President Ashraf Ghani, the Taliban last week announced the launch of its annual spring offensive.
The drop in Afghan security force numbers comes as the U.S. government has committed more than 15,000 troops to Afghanistan in an effort to turn around the stalemated war, with a focus on training more security personnel and on expanding the size of the air force and the special operations forces. But there have been signals that problems exist in fielding as many Afghan soldiers and police as desired.
U.S. military officials in Afghanistan's restive Helmand province told The Washington Post last month that the main Afghan army unit there, the 215th Corps, was designed to have about 18,500 soldiers but actually had closer to 9,500. The 215th Corps' commander, Maj. Gen. Wali Mohammad Ahmadzai, said that he considered himself about 5,000 soldiers short and that he had been promised another 2,000 soon. But he had no sense of when that might occur.
The trouble over the total number of Afghan soldiers also comes amid an ambitious effort directed by Ghani to nearly double the number of Afghan special operations personnel from 11,700 to 23,300 by 2020.
U.S. military officials have acknowledged that when more soldiers go to commando school, fewer go to conventional military units. The effort to double the number of commandos also has been boosted by the Afghan military directing some existing units to go to commando school, which increases the number of commandos without actually increasing the size of the Afghan military.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, speaking Tuesday with reporters in Washington, said that despite the recent high-profile bombings and the new Taliban push, that effort was beginning to bear fruit.
"We knew there would be tough fighting going forward," he said. "The Afghan military is being made more capable." He said that Afghan special operations forces, advised and accompanied by NATO mentors, "are the most effective forces. So the expansion there is why the enemy has been unable to take any district centers, provincial centers, or make any advances there."
Mattis said that the joint forces have been able to block many attacks on civilians, but that "unfortunately once in a while they get through . . . this is simply what they do; they murder innocent people." He said the U.S. and NATO mission will "stand by the Afghan government" and continue to pressure the insurgents to "drive them to a political settlement."
[Kabul's worried Shiite minority reconsiders voting after deadly attack]
Along with its boosting of Afghan forces, the U.S. has stepped up air attacks and unmanned drone strikes under expanded authority from the Trump administration and has claimed numerous successes in killing Taliban and Islamic State commanders.
Several experts on the conflict, however, said that while the year-long American military effort needs more time to produce results, it has made little discernible difference so far on the battlefield or in the political calculus of the insurgents.
"Only a starry-eyed optimist can seriously suggest that the new plan is going well," said Michael Kugelman, a specialist on Afghanistan and Pakistan at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington.
"There are few indications that a ramped-up training mission and battlefield fight are turning the tide in the war," Kugelman said. "So long as the Taliban believes it is winning, it is unlikely to agree to peace talks, no matter how generous the offer. And let's be clear — the Taliban very much thinks it is winning."
The SIGAR report did not specify the reasons for the dramatic decline in Afghan force numbers, aside from some shifts of personnel between security branches. The rates of attrition, desertion and failure to reenlist, and the reasons for these continued problems, remained classified at the request of Afghan authorities, it said.
U.S. military officials have previously cited numerous serious problems that have contributed to demoralization in the ranks, including corruption and abuse by senior commanders, failure to pay salaries, ethnic tensions within units and in deployment areas, false payroll records listing "ghost soldiers," and poor leadership.
Gen. John W. Nicholson Jr., the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, has worked closely with Ghani to develop a plan to reform and bolster Afghan forces, with a goal of making them self-sufficient in the next several years.
The SIGAR report included some slightly positive news. It found that the percentage of the populace controlled or influenced by the Afghan government increased from 64 percent to 65 percent between October and January. On the other hand, it also reported that as of Jan. 1, 14.5 percent of the country's districts were under insurgent control or influence — the highest level recorded since SIGAR began receiving such information.
Many Afghans say they are fed up with the government's inability to protect civilians, especially after a long string of insurgent attacks in Kabul. And some experts believe that Afghan forces may never develop the will or capacity to defeat the insurgents or force them to negotiate.
"Building up the Afghan forces is a top priority for the U.S. and our international allies, so it is worrisome to see Afghan force strength decreasing," John Sopko, the head of SIGAR, told news services on Tuesday.
Dan Lamothe and Missy Ryan in Washington contributed to this report.

Will The FTC Investigate People & Companies Paid By Facebook To Use Facebook Live?
Will The FTC Investigate People & Companies Paid By Facebook To Use Facebook Live?
By Mike Masnick
In the last few months, Facebook Live has certainly become "a thing." Launched just recently, it was suddenly everywhere — from the pure (but very viral) joy of Candace Payne and her Chewbacca mask to the live streaming of the tragic aftermath of Philando Castile being shot by a police officer in Minnesota. Of course, it appears that part of the reason why Facebook Live is getting so much usage isn't necessarily that it's a better product than its competitors, but rather that Facebook has been generously throwing around cash to all sorts of people and companies to get them to use the platform.
Last month, it was reported that Facebook was paying many millions of dollars to big media players in exchange for them promising to broadcast via Facebook Live:
According to a document recently obtained by the Wall Street Journal, the social networking giant has signed as many as 140 contracts worth a total of $50 million.
The list of media outlets being paid by Facebook includes traditional players such as CNN and the New York Times, the Journal says, as well as digital-only publishers like Vox, Mashable, and BuzzFeed. The celebrities who are being compensated for creating live video include comedian Kevin Hart and chef Gordon Ramsay.
Some contracts are worth smaller amounts, while 17 of the deals Facebook has signed are worth more than $1 million, according to the document obtained by the Journal. Two media outlets are getting paid more than $3 million to create live video—BuzzFeed and the New York Times, and CNN is not far behind, with a reported payment of $2.5 million.
Later in that article, it notes that BuzzFeed is getting $250,000 per month, for 20 Facebook Live videos each month.
Then, a few weeks later, another report came out, noting that Facebook was trying to buy successful YouTubers and Vine users away from those platforms by giving them cash to use the platform as well.
Still, there's another question that is raised by these stories: are Facebook and all of these other companies and individuals running afoul of the FTC's social media guidelines? And might the FTC crack down? Since the FTC's update of its guidelines last year, it seems like not disclosing these payments could create some problems, if the FTC decided to step in.
The guidelines themselves seem more focused on "endorsements," but the question here is whether or not merely using the platform to post new videos is considered an "endorsement." Under the current guidelines, the FTC has a fairly loose standard of how the situation impacts the credibility given to the person or company by their audience:
The question you need to ask is whether knowing about that gift or incentive would affect the weight or credibility your readers give to your recommendation. If it could, then it should be disclosed.
While it's not a direct parallel, you could see how this is pretty close to the situation at hand. People viewing these videos are getting the message that these media companies and individuals approve of Facebook Live — and yet many have not disclosed that they have a strong financial incentive to use the product. It seems like they may be in trouble if the FTC ever decides to take a look.
The question, then, is whether or not the FTC will bother?

I used Michelle's fabulous Summer image on my card, and you know I an going to say that I coloured her with chalks - my favourite technique!! The edges of the image have been distressed and sponged with distressing ink, infact all layers are distressed. This was layered onto cream CS which has been embossed with the Victoria Folder, distressed and then layered onto black CS.
The DP has also been embossed with the Victoria Embossing Folder - I love the depth that embossing gives DP and love to use it that way. The DP has been layered onto black CS, along with every layer to make it more defined. The corners are cut from plain DP and sponged, then attached to the DP.
It is a busy time of year for us all and we at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge are no exception, Priscilla will be out of town for a couple of weeks and the Design Team are going to take over and of course as always do a fantastic job - I hope it is not a matter of 'while the cats away the mice will play - Oops don't look Priscilla!! LOL!!! Priscilla has prepared as much as she possibly can and if you are new to this blog, boy you in for a treat.
On a personal note I just have to say congratulations to my Mum, Lesley (aka SuperNan) This was her first time playing the MMSC and she has only been stamping for 2 months - can you believe she was worried if her card was good enough!! Way to go Mum - you rocked it - and that is the opinion of the WHOLE TEAM!!

Now make your way over to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge and find out what else is going on. I am looking forward to seeing your cards!

General Dog Fun Facts
Dogs pant a lot because they have no sweat glands on their body except at their paws.
A dog's nose print helps investigators identify dogs. It works like a human finger print.
Over ½ of dog owners sign their dog's name on greeting cards.
Despite their breed or size, all dogs have 42 teeth and 321 bones—all breeds.
A dog's heart beats at 120 times/minute; that is 150% compared to the human heart which beats at 80 times/minute.
AKC has 161 breeds of dogs.
Origin and History of Dog Breeds
Beagles were used in the 16th century to catch rabbits during hunting games.
Boxers were bred in Germany in the 19th century from several breeds including English Bulldog. Boxers were bred for hunting, especially having the ability to chase deer, boars, and bison and hold them until hunters arrive. Later boxers were used for dog fighting.
Border Collies
Border Collies were bred between England and Scotland (thus getting their name as "border" between two countries) to be shepherds' dogs. They have proven to be one of the best shepherds' dogs because of their ability to work long hours and complete tasks on their own without the shepherd's presence.
Bulldogs today are different from the original Bulldogs during the 16th century. The original Bulldogs were used in sports games to attack bulls. Today's Bulldogs are much shorter and gentler!
Chihuahuas' origin is uncertain, but what we know is that it came from Mexico and it is named after the state of Chihuahua, in Mexico.
Cocker Spaniel
Cocker Spaniel was bred to be a hunting dog, and dates as back as the 14th century.
Collies were bred in England to be a shepherd's dog.
Dachshunds were bred in Germany in the 17th century to fight badgers in badgers' burrows. Their stretched out bodies can fit through the burrows.
Dalmatians were used as guard dogs during wars (gaining the title "dogs of war"). They were also used as fire-apparatus followers, following and coaching horse drawn fire engines (a job that gave them the firehouse mascot in the United States). Dalmatians also served as hunting dogs. There is no certain information about their origin, though some believe that they originated in Dalmatia, used to be a province of Austria, but is now in Croatia.
Doberman was bred in Germany in the 19th century by Louis Doberman. Mr. Doberman used several breeds including Greyhound and Rottweiler to develop the perfect guard dog.
German Shepherds
German Shepherds originated in Germany in 1899 to be a herding dog. Later they became a popular police dogs because of their strength and intelligence.
Golden retriever
Golden retriever was bred in Scotland for hunting.
Great Danes
Great Danes might have originated in Rome, Greece, England, Denmark, or Germany—nothing is certain.
Greyhounds might have originated 100s or even 1,000s of years BC. A sculpture in an Egyptian tomb dating to 4,000 BC showed a Greyhound dog. There are also records of Greyhounds used by the Celts as hunting dogs about 500 BC. Today they are race dogs that can run at a speed of about 40 mph.
Labrador retriever
Labrador retriever was bred in Newfoundland and Labrador (a Canadian province) to aid fishermen in pulling their nets.
Poodles most likely originated in France, but they may have originated in Germany or Russia. The word "poodle" or "pudle" is a German word meaning puddle. The name was given since the Poodle was bred to be a water dog helping hunters.
Rottweiler, named after a southwest German town Rottweil, was used for herding and also for a war dog. Roman soldiers also used the breed to herd their cattle. The breed almost became extict, until it was revived in the 20th century. Rottweilers were used during both World Wars as war guard dogs.
Shih Tzu
Shih Tzu, a Chinese bred dog, has existed for one thousand years and was a famous pet for the Ming Dynasty.
Yorkshire Terrier
Yorkshire Terrier, named after the English city Yorkshire, was bred in the 19th century to hunt and kill rats in factories.

Do you want to have your say on the services provided in Sheffield or in the referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union?
The local elections next year may seem a long way off, but whenever it is called, a referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union would only need six weeks' notice!
Sheffield residents are now being encouraged to check and make sure they are registered to vote
Apart from crucial national issues, the ballot box gives you the right to vote for the person or party who has a major influence on local school provision, waste disposal, highways improvement, housing and many other everyday services that we all rely on.
The closing date for local voters to register is 17 November to allow time for the up-dated register to be produced by the 1 December deadline.
A new system called 'Individual Electoral Registration' was introduced last year and everyone is now responsible for registering themselves. Under the old system the 'head of each household' could register everyone who lived at their address.
Over 90 per cent of eligible voters are already registered to vote and should have been moved onto the new system automatically. Enquiry forms were also sent to households across the city this summer.
Anyone who hasn't yet responded to the forms sent out this summer should do so now and if you don't think you are registered go to www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.
Registering online should take less than five minutes. People will be asked for their date of birth and National Insurance number to register. These details are checked against Government records to help make sure all registrations are genuine.
Unless residents apply to register under the new system, they will be removed on 1 December this year. It only takes a few minutes to register, but anyone who does not respond could be fined £80.
John Mothersole, Returning Officer for the elections in Sheffield said: "It's really important that everyone is registered to vote and is able to exercise their democratic rights when the elections take place next year.
"The Government has introduced a new system that places responsibility on individuals to ensure they are registered. It's a very simple process and will only take a few minutes if your details have not been automatically transferred already.
"If you haven't received your registration form or may have mislaid it, please register online or contact our electoral services team, who will be pleased to help you so you don't lose your right to vote."
In May 2016 there will be elections for all 84 Sheffield City Council ward councillor seats as well as an election for the important role of South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner.

During a recent appearance on the "Appetite For Distortion" podcast, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner spoke about the overwhelmingly positive response to the band's latest album, "Firepower".
"It's always a thrill when the music that you create connects with the fans, and you see there's a lot of positivity with the record — it seems to have connected around the world, really," he said (hear audio below). "It's only been out five months and we've got a lot of positive feedback from around the world — from Japan, from the States, from South Africa. All around the globe, people seem to be connecting with this record, and it's a thrill, man.
"All you can do is do your best, give a thousand percent, and put it out there," he continued. "In 2018, for a band like PRIEST… And there's a few [others] putting out new music… We were just out with SAXON and BLACK STAR RIDERS; they're classic bands [releasing] new music. They're not resting on their laurels — they're playing new music, writing new stuff and forging forward.
"There are young kids in the audience, and they see these bands for the first time and they hear one of our new songs in the same way that I heard 'Breaking The Law' for the first time," he added. "Hopefully it will inspire them to pick up a guitar or a drum kit or a microphone and create their own thing.
"It's amazing to be part of a legacy act like JUDAS PRIEST. Hopefully we can be part of someone's future and they can fly the flag into 2019 and beyond. So it's an incredible honor, man."
"Firepower" was released in March via Epic. The disc entered the Billboard 200 chart at position No. 5, making it the band's highest-charting album ever. 2014's "Redeemer Of Souls" debuted and peaked at No. 6, while 2008's "Nostradamus" landed at No. 11 and 2005's "Angel Of Retribution" came in at No. 13.
"Firepower" moved 49,000 equivalent album units in first week of release. Of that sum, 48,000 were in traditional album sales, just shy of the 54,000 copies sold by "Angel Of Retribution" in that album's first week. The "Firepower" chart position was bolstered by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer in association with the band's spring 2018 North American tour.
Longtime JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Glenn Tipton found out he had Parkinson's disease four years ago — after being stricken by the degenerative condition at least half a decade earlier — but only recently announced he was going to sit out touring activities in support of "Firepower". The guitarist, who is now 70 and has performed on every PRIEST LP since the band's 1974 debut set, "Rocka Rolla", is not quitting the band, but simply cannot handle the rigorous challenges of performing live. He is being replaced on the road by "Firepower" producer Andy Sneap, who is also known as the guitar player in NWOBHM revivalists HELL and cult thrashers SABBAT.
JUDAS PRIEST and DEEP PURPLE have joined forces for a co-headlining North American tour. The 25-date trek launched August 21 in Cincinnati and will conclude September 30 in Wheatland, California.

If you liked the book, you'll probably like the movie as they stuck pretty much to the spirit of the book. All in all, an entertaining flick.

I think I'd be ok to say that we all live pretty selfish lives. We think about ourselves before almost anything else. This isn't necessarily bad, it's just human nature. It is bad though when we don't let ourselves get past our first initial self centered thoughts.
There have been so many times where I've been in situations and all I can think about is me. The situation I keep finding myself doing this is when I am walking by the homeless. I try not to make eye contact with them. I walk briskly by and sometimes even ignore them when they try and make conversation. I know, I know, I'm a jerk. But I've now made it a point to just embrace the opportunity to show love to anyone at anytime. What could I possibly have that is more important than spreading Christ's love?
The big idea here is that we make way too many compromises. Let's look at this in a big picture way. Throughout life we make excuses when situations come our way. We start to think certain things are more important than the Kingdom. We are too old or young to live out the desires God has placed in our hearts, the list goes on, but God has given us specific gifts and tasks to do and they bring glory to Him.
It can be hard to stay focused on the work that God has given us. But that is the whole point to our existence. I've noticed that It's always pretty easy for young people to have big goals and dreams that seem impossible, but are willing to work hard and not let the odds mean anything to them. And I've seen and experienced myself, the reaction older people have to young dreamers. It's a mixture of excitement and jerkiness. To me it shows that maybe they had dreams that they compromised so they could do "life", when in reality compromising your dreams takes all the life out of living. This isn't a bash on the older generations, it's more of a callback to your dreams. It can be hard to look back at your life and realize you didn't really do what you wanted. It can be paralyzing, but it doesn't have to be.
If it's hard for young people to find themselves and what they love, and express that with their life, it has to be a million times harder for older people who compromised themselves for an "ordinary" life. It's never too late to make a change though. We have to think selflessly and remember that the dreams God has put in us are our jobs, the work that will bring Him glory.

In September 2016, TRANSFER INTERNATIONAL entered its next phase with the organisation of two intensive and innovative meetings of experts on its central topics of 'Diversity' and 'Digital Culture'.
The framework for the conference on diversity was the meeting of the Dutch section of the Youth Theatre Association, ASSITEJ, which took place at the De Balie Cultural Centre in central Amsterdam, and in 2016 was dedicated to the topic 'In Search of New Audiences: The City in all its Diversity'. At the instigation of NRW KULTURsekretariat, and in close collaboration with Dutch Performing Arts (Fonds Podiumskunsten), 46 experts from the three TRANSFER INTERNATIONAL partner regions Belgium, the Netherlands and NRW met on September 2nd to trial a new format for the expert meetings, consisting of presentations and discussions.
Three weeks later, on September 22nd, a second meeting of the same type took place in Brussels on the subject of 'Digital Culture'. NRW KULTURsekretariat was the organising partner and the host was the Representation of NRW at the European Union. 40 experts were able to share perspectives, experiences and approaches.
In Amsterdam, Dr. Christian Esch, Director of the NRW KULTURsekretariat, opened proceedings with an introduction to TRANSFER INTERNATIONAL.
This was followed by outlines of several approaches to the topic of 'Diversity': Henriëtte Post, director of Dutch Performing Arts, Sofie Joye of Kunstenpunt and Susanne Düwel of the NRW Ministry of Culture outlined their regionally-specific projects and funding approaches, as well as highlighting some political-level strategic considerations around diversity.
A discussion then took place on similarities and differences between the various cultural and political contexts. While the challenges proved to be similar, approaches, ideas and initiatives differed signiicantly, as a result in particular of different historical developments in the countries in question.
All the participants expressed a desire to incorporate considerations of 'Diversity' in its many facets into the work of their organisations.
The round tables that took place over the two days focused on the challenges posed by these topics to cultural policy and on the practical work of cultural institutions. They asked what conditions were necessary for innovative and forward-looking work.
Attention was also given to ways in which the transnational perspective and funding opportunities of the TRANSFER INTERNATIONAL project could be used most productively.
The issues of diversity and digital culture have proven to be both pressing and complex. During the discussions and get-togethers, the value of international meetings of this sort quickly became evident.
The response of the experts and institutions involved was overwhelmingly positive. The need for mechanisms for the permanent exchange of knowledge, expertise, ideas, experiences and best practice, as well as for awareness and networking across national borders, was expressed by all parties.
In this sense, the two conferences were important driving forces for the further development of the project and for transnational dialogue on these two topics, key to discussions on the future direction of European policy.

First, you should make sure that Google is actually indexing your page(s), and submit it directly if it's not (or if you're not sure).
It's also possible that the <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0"> element in your front page is signaling to Google (and other search engines) that it shouldn't index your page at all, as it is marked to expire immediately -- although I don't know for sure if Google actually parses meta-expires tags, so maybe not.
It did give me some ideas, but I need more information, as I indicate in the comment above.
How do I find out whether Google is actually indexing my pages? How do I submit pages directly (to whom do I submit them?)? Have you a suggestion for changing the meta expires value (assuming my host lets me get at it)?
I am supposing that the explicit indexing in Google and Yahoo had the effect, so I am awarding you the points.
You could try adding this META tag to stop google from indexing your site.
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW">
I haven't tested this out for my site, but its worth a shot.
I want to reject answers 2 and 3 but TR is not giving me the option at present. Working from Answer 2 I have registered with both Google and Yahoo and after a week I am still invisible. Answer 3 appears to be a joke: I want to be indexed and visible.
I am now visible to Yahoo, but not to Google. Is it just a matter of waiting till the net is trawled?
I am now visible to Google also. I suppose it was just a mater of time. I am still unable to access the accepted/rejected button on TR Q & A, alas.

Charlottesville City Council drafts plan to handle white nationalists
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Charlottesville City Council released a statement Sunday after approximately 40 people associated with white nationalist philosophy held an unannounced torchlit rally in Emancipation Park
Former UVA student Richard Spencer led the group and promised to return yet again, after calling the brief rally, "Charlottesville 3.0." Spencer was referencing a spring rally and then the August 12 rally which turned violent and left one civilian dead.
The statement said that the City's police department is conferring with the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office "to pursue any legal mechanisms necessary to bring about justice" for the community.
"It is unconscionable that Mr. Spencer and his allies would return to our City to intimidate and spread fear, especially after their morally reprehensible invasion of the city on August 12th," leaders wrote in the statement.
They said they have been consulting with outside sources, to develop changes to the code and procedures in an effort to address the events of the last four months.
City Council requested the creation of an internal task force between City departments, who would collectively develop proactive strategies "regarding the law, policing, regulations, communications, intelligence-gathering, and community outreach to vulnerable populations regarding white nationalist events in Charlottesville."
The Office of the City Manager would guide the task force.
The City outlined the work they have been doing to help prevent future incidents like the ones experienced in recent months; including an independent review of the events of May 13, July 8 and August 12 that should be done by the end of November.
Other actions include designating a community group to address some of the issues raised by the public at council meetings. The group will weave these issues into its path to recovery vision and workplan for the city. The City has already provided updates to the Council and the public on a couple of those issues including affordable housing and equity issues such as workforce and business development.
The City is seeking additional authority to control the conditions under which a group or organization can hold a rally or demonstration. It is expected that the Council will receive a report on this issue at its regularly scheduled meeting on October 16.
City Council members will also go before the General Assembly to possibly seek sanctions against certain types of guns in certain public places and gatherings and laws granting localities the authority to remove their own memorials and monuments.
City Council is also exploring various steps to equip the police department with the capacity to sustain the monitoring and gathering of intelligence.
Statements from City Councilmembers are below:
"Charlottesville is one of the world's great cities. Our progressive and welcoming policies and our belief in telling the truth about race in our history are all key to our success," said Mayor Mike Signer. "The so-called 'alt-right' believes intimidation and intolerance will stop us from our work. They could not be more wrong. We must marshal all our resources, legal and otherwise, to protect our public and support our values of inclusion and diversity in the future."
"As a city, it's important that we stand up to and reject every notion of White Supremacy, the kind that is both overt and covert. As a city council, I firmly believe that my colleagues and I are committed to addressing these issues, and showing the community that we hear them," said Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy. "I look forward to hearing from our Commonwealth's Attorney about different ways in which we can, not only enforce the laws and ordinances that we currently have, but also possibly creating new parameters to stop hate groups from feeling so welcome here. I want to be clear – for all who believe that bigotry, racism, hate, and any other form oppression is welcome in our city, you are wrong. The Charlottesville that I love is not defined by White Supremacy. Our New Charlottesville stands together and for each other. Let's continue to do so."
"We know that Charlottesville has become a target for white nationalists, and we must be prepared to meet their messages of hate and violence in the strongest possible terms," said City Council Kristin Szakos. "There must be consequences for behavior that is intended to terrorize our community, and we need all our departments working together to make sure our response is clear and well-prepared. Charlottesville must demonstrate in word and deed that we reject the messages of white supremacy."
"The only way to counter the irrational and despicable motives and methods of a Richard Spencer and his alt-right confederation is with a comprehensive, rational course of action that thwarts every white supremacist incursion, at every turn, and from every angle," said City Councilor Kathy Galvin. "That is what City Council has tasked the city manager to do and we will keep the public informed, every step of the way."
City Councilor Bob Fenwick will offer comments later this evening.
The City Manager's Office will be providing regular updates to the Council and the public on these and other actions the City is taking to protect the public.

Video Shows that the Two Employees Already Knew That There is Something Wrong With the Escalator
According to the report, the two shopping mall employees stepped onto the loosen metal panel and found the hidden danger at 10:55, five minutes before the accident, but failed to take any emergency measures such as stopping the escalator and making checks.
|Image from Youtube
However, the escalator was still running with no customers taking the escalator for the time being. At 10:09, a woman with her son took the escalator. The employees warned the women of the danger of the escalator.
The woman lifted her son but still stepped onto the loosen metal panel. The panel collapsed, and the woman pushed out her son when falling into the escalator. One employee grabbed the boy but failed to pull the woman out of the escalator. Then the woman dropped into the escalator machine and the related upward escalator stopped running while the downward one was still working. At 10:12, more than two minutes later than the time of accident, maintenance staff arrived and stopped the downward escalator.
Rescuers recovered the woman's body from inside the escalator at 14:00. An investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.
This video contains graphic content that can shock, offend and upset the viewer.

In The High Impact Leader, Bruce Avolio and Fred Luthans offer what is perhaps a surprising measure of success:
The high bar for success in life may be how many people love you enough to hide you.
Their suggestion comes from an answer Warren Buffet once gave to a student who asked him about how he defined success. Buffet's answer was inspired by the story of a woman he met who had survived the Holocaust. It was her view that you should consider how successful you are in life, based on the number of people who would be prepared to hide you.
