Spotify Concerts, Vevo Music Discovery Features and No More Beats Music, November 16, 2015
Spotify added a live show feature as well as a new charts website for artists. Also, Vevo updated its iPhone app to include new music discovery features. And Apple announced it would get rid of Beats Music on November 30.
Spotify Adding "Concerts" and Top 200 and Viral 50 Charts
Spotify launched its new Concerts feature in order to expand its partnership with Songkick, which teamed up to offer the Discover Weekly feature, reported Complete Music Update (CMU). The streaming music platform also introduced a new website listing the Top 200 and Viral 50 charts. Both features will help artists reach more fans with news about their gigs and new music.
The Concerts feature is a personalized playlist for users with a list of recommended gigs to attend. It gives users a central location to keep up with upcoming shows by their favorite bands, with no need to go to specific artist pages.
A Songkick spokesperson stated, "We've been super impressed with Spotify's Discover Weekly since it launched in the summer. We can't wait to be served with equally gnarly recommendations for local shows … With 40-50-percent of concert tickets still going unsold, this is more great news for both artists and fans, as the gap between discovering a new artist and seeing them live gets infinitely smaller."
Concerts will be on Spotify's iPhone and Android apps in the Browse section.
While the Top 200 and Viral 50 charts website is live, CMU noted that it does have a message on it that says the data is "NOT UP TO DATE."
Vevo Updating iPhone App with Additional Music Discovery Features
Vevo updated its iPhone app this past week to make searching for videos simpler than before and improve its music discovery capabilities.
According to Billboard, the video platform is calling this version of the app "a new mobile experience that puts the user at the center of everything we do." It lets users create lists of favorite artists, playlists and videos and then manage all these in one central location.
The app also has a recommendations section, "Spotlight," which is custom-created for each individual user. After a user follows at least three artists, the section will populate with content from those artists plus content related to and similar to those artists.
President and CEO of Vevo Erik Huggers announced, "Today we take the first step in repositioning Vevo around a best-in-class mobile video experience for music … Music videos represent one of the world's most popular platforms for storytelling. Our new mobile application will allow them to be seen and heard in the way that artists intended and that our audiences will love."
Apple Doing Away with Beats Music
Apple will eliminate streaming music service Beats Music on November 30, reported Billboard. All subscriptions will be canceled, and users will be forced to switch to Apple Music or find a different subscription platform.
Beats subscribers streaming through Sonos home systems were also notified and encouraged to join Apple Music in order to retain their playlists and other preferences ahead of its upcoming launch.
Apple bought Beats in April 2014 for $3 billion. Shortly thereafter, co-founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine and creative officer Trent Reznor went to Cupertino to help develop what would eventually become Apple Music.
Apple Music launched on June 30 and has since brought in 6.5 million paying subscribers and 8.5 million users. This makes Apple the second-largest streaming music service behind Spotify. Apple Music was just launched for Android phone users this past week.

Thirteen year olds can do nearly any babysitting job that isn't through a professional daycare center. They can watch children in their home or in the child's home.Continue Reading
Due to the various labor laws throughout the country, most children under the age of 18 can't work in a daycare setting. This means that a 13 year old would not be able to work in a daycare, but could easily babysit younger children in her own home or provide assistance to the child's parents as a "mother's helper." The type of babysitting job that a 13 year old qualifies for depends on her level of maturity. Babysitters who are under 18 are generally recommended to have no more than 3 children in their care at any time because it can be difficult to keep track of all of them. Any 13 year old who wishes to be a babysitter should also obtain some type of CPR training and should have a general knowledge of how to take care of younger children.Learn more about Job Search

Tens of thousands of people may have been affected.
"It definitely makes us angry, makes me angry," City College Chancellor Don Griffin told ABC7.
Griffin spoke to ABC7 Friday in a lab that has been shut down because of a computer virus that may have stolen credit card numbers and other personal information from countless students.
"We know that there's been transmissions to a number of countries. Information was transmission to Russia, according to the preliminary survey. Information was transmitted to China," said.
Because the lab is primarily for international students learning English, there was enough legitimate data going to foreign sites that the malicious traffic went unnoticed, possibly for as long as a decade. The virus not only logged students' keystrokes, it sent back images of the screen and may have even spread to other labs, or the home computers of students who used a thumb drive.
"We're looking at all of our systems, all of our servers now, to make sure that our official records of students, our financial records, have not been compromised," Griffin said.
Police at City College say they have already had dozens of calls from students and alumni worried they might be affected. ABC7 talked to one who says he is almost sure of it. Francis Lee had a slew of fraudulent credit card charges from 2005 to 2007, that until now, he never associated with the class he took at City College.
"A light bulb clicked in my head and I just remembered one of the fraudulent charges, I believe, was from Russia," he recalled.
Lee was in disbelief that the virus was not discovered sooner.
"I feel like if this has gone on for so long, like what else have they missed?" he asked.
Griffin says that question we are about to find out, as City College calls in the FBI and hires private security consultants.
"We're going to have to divert as many funds as we have, or can get, to dealing with this to make sure that our students are safe," he said.


text: "Latin America is very fond of the word "hope." We like to be called the "continent of hope." Candidates for deputy, senator, president, call themselves "candidates of hope." This hope is really something like a promise of heaven, an IOU whose payment is always being put off. It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century." Pablo Neruda The final act in the Atlantic revolutions took place in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies of Latin America These revolutions were influenced by preceding events in North America, France, and Haiti Native-born elites in the Spanish colonies, known as creoles, were offended and insulted by the Spanish monarchy's efforts to exercise greater power through heavier taxes and tariffs But unlike their North American counterparts, the settlers in the Spanish colonies had little tradition of local self-government Spanish colonial society was far more authoritarian and divided by class and their culture was informed by a strict Catholicism. Whites were also vastly outnumbered by Native Americans, people of African ancestry, or individuals of mixed race. Creole elites did not generate a revolution as much as have a revolution thrust on them In 1808, Napoleon invaded Spain and Portugal, deposing the Spanish king Ferdinand VII and forcing the Portuguese royal family into exile in Brazil With legitimate royal authority in disarray, Latin Americans were forced to take action The outcome was independence for various states in Latin America by 1826 But the process lasted twice as long as it did in North America In Mexico, the move toward independence began in 1810 in a peasant insurrection, driven by hunger for land and by high food prices Led successively by two priests, Miguel Hidalgo and José Morelos, this peasant insurrection frightened creole landowners and with the support of the Church, an army was raised and the insurrection was crushed. Later that alliance of clergy and creole elites brought Mexico to a more socially controlled independence in 1821. Yet violent conflict among Latin Americans, along lines of race, class, and ideology, accompanied the struggle against Spain in many places. The entire independence movement in Latin America took place under the shadow of a great fear – the dread of social rebellion from below The violence of the French and Haitian revolutions was a lesson that political change could get easily out of control An abortive rebellion of Native Americans in Peru in the early 1780s, made in the name of the last Inca emperor, Tupac Amaru reminded whites that a society with many exploited and oppressed individuals could easily explode Yet military leaders, such as Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín, required the support of the people The solution was found in nativism Nativism cast all of those born in the Americas – creoles, Indians, mixed-race people, free blacks – as Americanos, while the enemy was defined as those born in Spain or Portugal. This was a difficult task because many whites and mestizos saw themselves as Spanish and great differences of race, culture, and wealth separated the Americanos. The lower classes, Native Americans and slaves, benefited little from independence As one historian noted, "The imperial state was destroyed in Spanish America but colonial society was preserved" Another difference was the apparent impossibility of uniting the various Spanish colonies, despite several failed efforts to do so No United States of Latin America emerged Distances among the colonies and geographic obstacles to effective communication were greater in Latin America than the eastern seaboard of the United States The "great liberator" Bolívar wrote, "Latin America is ungovernable. Those who serve the revolution plough the sea" The aftermath of independence in Latin America marked a reversal in the earlier relationship of the two American continents. The United States, which had been considered the leftovers of the New World, grew increasingly wealthy, industrialized, democratic, stable and influential. The wealthier Spanish colonies became relatively underdeveloped, impoverished, undemocratic, and unstable. But these revolutions occurred in very different societies which gave rise to different historical trajectories. But the core values of the Atlantic revolutions reverberated long after they had concluded Within Europe following Napoleon's defeat, representatives at the Congress of Vienna (18141815) tried to restore the old ways and redrew borders to create a balance of power yet smaller revolutions broke out in 1830, more widely in 1848, and in Paris in 1870 These revolutions expressed ideas of republicanism, greater social equality, and national liberation from foreign rule Universal male suffrage was granted by 1914 in Western Europe, the United States, and Argentina An abortive attempt to establish a constitutional regime even broke out in autocratic Russia in 1825 But beyond this limited extension of political democracy, three movements arose to challenge patterns of oppression. The Abolitionist movement sought an end to slavery. Nationalists wanted unity and an end to foreign rule. And Feminists tried to end male dominance. Each of these movements bore the marks of the Atlantic revolutions. These movements first took root in Europe but spread globally in the centuries that followed. From roughly 1780 to 1890, slavery lost its legitimacy and largely ended Enlightenment thinkers in eighteenth-century Europe had become critical of slavery as a violation of the natural rights of every person To this secular antislavery thinking was added a religious element These moral arguments became more widely acceptable as it became increasingly clear that slavery was not essential for economic progress England and New England were prosperous regions in the early nineteenth century and based on free labor The actions of slaves also hastened the end of slavery The Haitian Revolution was followed by three major rebellions in the British West Indies and although these rebellions in the West Indies were crushed, they clearly demonstrated that slaves were hardly "contented." The abolitionist movement, particularly in Britain, brought growing pressure on governments to end the trade in slaves and to ban slavery Abolitionists used pamphlets with heartrending descriptions of slavery, petitions, lawsuits, boycotts of slave-produced sugar, and frequent public meetings In 1807, Britain forbade the sale of slaves within its empire and in 1834 emancipated those who remained enslaved Over the next half century, other nations followed British naval vessels patrolled the Atlantic, intercepted illegal slave ships, and freed slaves in a small West African settlement called Freetown in present-day Sierra Leone Following independence, most Latin American countries abolished slavery by the 1850s. Brazil was the last to do so in 1888. A similar set of conditions – fear of rebellion, economic inefficiency, and moral concerns – persuaded the Russian tsar to free the serfs in 1861, although in Russia it occurred by fiat from above rather than from growing public pressure. Nowhere was the persistence of slavery more evident and resistance to abolition more intense than in the southern states of the United States The United States was the only slaveholding society in which the end of slavery occurred through a bitter, prolonged, and highly destructive civil war (1861-1865) Yet in most cases, the economic lives of former slaves did not improve dramatically Nowhere in the Atlantic world, except Haiti, did a redistribution of land follow the end of slavery In the southern United States, a technically free but highly dependent labor, such as sharecropping, emerged to replace slavery and to provide low-paid and often indebted workers And large numbers of indentured servants from India and China were imported into the Caribbean, Peru, South Africa, Hawaii, Malaya, and elsewhere to work in mines, on sugar plantations, and in construction projects. There they often toiled in conditions not far removed from slavery itself. In the southern United States, a brief period of "radical reconstruction," during which newly freed blacks did enjoy full political rights and some power, was followed by harsh segregation laws, denial of voting rights, a wave of lynching, and a virulent racism that lasted well into the twentieth century Unlike in the Americas, the end of serfdom in Russia transferred to peasants a considerable portion of the nobles' land, but the need to pay for this land with "redemption dues" and the rapid growth of Russia's rural population ensured that most peasants remained impoverished and politically volatile In West and East Africa, the end of the external slave trade decreased prices for slaves which increased their use within African societies Since African slaves were used to produce export crops, Europeans justified colonial rule in Africa in the late nineteenth century with the claim that they were doing so to emancipate enslaved Africans. Europeans proclaiming the need to end slavery in a continent from which they had extracted slaves for more than four centuries was among the more ironic outcomes of abolitionism. Europe's modern transformation facilitated nationalism, as older identities and loyalties eroded Science weakened the hold of religion on some Migration to industrial cities diminished allegiance to local communities Printing and the publishing industry standardized a variety of dialects into a smaller number of European languages The idea of the "nation" was constructed but it was presented as a reawakening of older linguistic or cultural identities Nationalism proved to be a flexible and powerful idea in the nineteenth-century Atlantic world and beyond Nationalism inspired the political unification of Germany under the leadership of Otto von Bismarck and the Prussian state and the unification of Italy under the leadership of Count Camillo di Cavour, Giuseppe Mazzini, and Giuseppe Garibaldi by 1871. It encouraged Greeks and Serbs to assert their independence from the Ottoman Empire. Czechs and Hungarians demanded more autonomy within the Austrian Empire. Poles and Ukrainians became more aware of their oppression within the Russian Empire and the Irish became to seek "home rule" and separation from Great Britain. By the end of the nineteenth century, a small Zionist movement, seeking a homeland in Palestine, had emerged among Europe's frequently persecuted Jews Popular nationalism made the normal rivalry among European states more acute and fueled a competitive drive for colonies in Asia and Africa Governments throughout the Western world claimed to act on behalf of nations and deliberately sought to instill national loyalties in their citizens through schools, mass media, and military service Russian authorities imposed the use of the Russian language, even in parts of the country where it was not widely spoken But the Russians only succeeded in producing a greater awareness of Ukrainian, Polish, and Finnish nationalism. In some countries, a "civic nationalism" developed. It identified the nation as existing within a particular territory and maintained that people of various cultural backgrounds could assimilate into the dominant culture. Whereas other versions of nationalism, in Germany for example, sometimes defined the nation in racial terms, which excluded those who did not share a common ancestry, such as Jews. In the hands of conservatives, nationalism could be used to combat socialism and feminism, for those movements only divided the nation. Nationalism was not limited to the EuroAmerican world in the nineteenth century An "Egypt for Egyptians" movement arose in the 1870s as British and French intervention in Egyptian affairs deepened Small groups of Western-educated men in British-ruled India began to think of their diverse country as a single nation The Indian National Congress, established in 1885, gave expression to this idea The idea of the Ottoman Empire as a Turkish national state rather than a Muslim or dynastic empire took hold among a few people Although Egyptian and Japanese nationalism gained broad support, elsewhere it would have to wait until the twentieth century A third echo of the Atlantic revolutions lay in the emergence of a feminist movement. In the century following the French Revolution, Feminism took shape, especially in Europe and North America. The French Revolution had raised the possibility of re-creating human societies on new foundations. Many women participated in the revolution, and a few insisted, unsuccessfully, that the revolutionary ideals of liberty and equality must include women. Within the growing middle classes of industrializing societies, more women found both educational opportunities and some freedom from household drudgery Such women increasingly took part in temperance movements, charities, abolitionism, and missionary work, as well as socialist and pacifist organizations Some working-class women became active trade unionists On both sides of the Atlantic, small numbers of these women began to develop a feminist consciousness that viewed women as individuals with rights equal to those of men E. Napp E. Napp The first organized expression of this new feminism took place at a women's right conference in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Yet from the beginning, feminism was a transatlantic movement in which European and American women attended the same conferences, corresponded regularly, and read one another's work. The more radical feminists refused to take their husbands' surnames or wore trousers under their skirts Elizabeth Cady Stanton drafted a statement that began by paraphrasing the Declaration of Independence at the Seneca Falls Conference and in 1848, published a Women's Bible, eliminating the parts that she found offensive By the 1870s, feminist movements in the West were focusing primarily on the issue of suffrage and were gaining a growing constituency Most suffrage movements operated through peaceful protest and persuasion but the British Women's Social and Political Union organized a campaign of violence that included blowing up railroad stations, slashing works of art, and smashing department store windows E. Napp By 1900, upper- and middle-class women had gained entrance to universities, though in small numbers, and women's literacy rates were growing steadily. In the United States, a number of states passed legislation allowing women to manage and control their own property and wages, separate from their husbands. In Britain, Florence Nightingale professionalized nursing and attracted thousands of women into it, while Jane Addams in the United States virtually invented social work, which also became a female-dominated profession. But progress was slower in the political domain. In 1893, New Zealand became the first country to give the vote to all adult women Finland followed in 1906 Elsewhere voting rights for women in national elections were not achieved until after World War I and in France not until 1945 But socialists were divided over the women's issues: Did Feminism distract from class solidarity or did it add energy to the workers' cause? Feminism also provoked bitter opposition Some critics argued that life outside the home would cause serious reproductive damage and result in depopulation Feminists were viewed as selfish Yet the feminist movement was a novel feature of the Western historical experience in the aftermath of the Atlantic revolutions. And like nationalism, a concern with women's rights spread beyond Western Europe and the United States, though less widely. Nowhere did feminism have really revolutionary consequences but it raised issues that echoed repeatedly and loudly in the century that followed. STRAYER QUESTIONS How were the Spanish American revolutions shaped by the American, French, and Haitian revolutions that happened earlier? What accounts for the end of Atlantic slavery during the nineteenth century? How did the end of slavery affect the lives of the former slaves? What accounts for the growth of nationalism as a powerful political and personal identity in the nineteenth century? What were the achievements and limitations of nineteenth-century feminism?

Personalizing online content often means creating stories that make people feel connected to a business or product. However, while it may be easy to make up stories that help people feel connected, creating an audience might be a bit more difficult.
Creating online content is like standing on a stage at a talent show. The different audience members like different kinds of acts. Some prefer music while others want to watch magic. The internet is similar to this since you are trying to draw in a multitude of diverse interests.
Finding ways to grab people's attention can seem difficult and frustrating. However, with the right approach, any business can create a new audience, the key is to create a musical magic act.
Make your website mobile friendly
Most people read website on their phones or tablets while they're on the move. Making a website mobile friendly is one of the easiest ways to create an audience for your product or service. In addition, Google made mobile-friendliness a ranking signal in April 2015.
- Find a conversion platform
- Use mobile plugins
- Use a web design that is responsive to mobile
Use the right hashtags
Customers looking for products are going to be searching under hashtags. Think about the diversity of your customer base. FM Digital Group suggests marketing to multiple demographics can expand customer base by thinking of different categories of hashtags that can help.
For examples, just because you are a nail salon doesn't mean that your manicures are just manicures. When tagging the designs on Instagram, go beyond the traditional nail art tags and decide how to market the actual designs. Think about the cross postings that hashtags can give across multiple social media sites.
Choose the right social media channel
Different social media networks offer different audiences and opportunities.
- Facebook has the broadest range
- Twitter works best for moving information quickly
- Pinterest's users are primarily women and works best for DIY projects, fashion, exercise, beauty, photography, and food
- Instagram which is entirely pictures and video works best for food, art, travel, fashion and other products that are visually appealing
- Tumblr is mostly young people with half its visitor base under 25, but if your product is a niche product, this where the audience lives
Find your influencer
Influencers vary by business, but each can become your brand ambassador. In your industry, think about the voices. Building a relationship with one of them might be the best way to build an audience. This strategy takes time. To make it work, you need to build a genuine relationship based on mutual respect and understanding. If it's not real, neither the influencer nor the audience will stick around.
Read what others are talking about
Be involved in the conversations that others are having about your industry. Follow up on your competitors to be just as involved as they are. Competitors are just other people with the same audience as you. This means that the customers you want to engage may be engaged with them. By analyzing where your competitors find their audience, you can find your own.
Building an online audience sounds daunting. However, in the same way that the musician at the talent show is able to get the music fans to applaud a good show, so can you become capable of establishing a name for yourself.

Self-driving car undergoes first UK test run
Boffins at Oxford University have developed a futuristic RobotCar, which is able to drive itself using lasers, cameras and an iPad.
The car is capable of driving familiar routes by utilising futuristic laser technology that scans the route ahead to check for obstacles up to 13 times a second.
The engineers behind the project are aiming to produce a "low-cost solution" that takes the strain off drivers on familiar journeys.
The Oxford-based project is similar to research carried out by Google and it works using three computers: an iPad for the driver, a Low Level Controller which runs the car's electrics and the Main Vehicle Computer which controls everything from steering to indicating.
"It's not depending on GPS, digging up the roads or anything like that - it's just the vehicles knowing where they are because they recognise their surroundings," explained Professor Paul Newman from Oxford University's department of engineering science.
"The key word for us is that the car gains 'experiences'. The car is driven by a human, and it builds a 3D model of its environment.
"When it goes on the same journey again, an iPad built into the dashboard gives a prompt to the driver - offering to let the computer 'take the wheel'.
"Touching the screen then switches to 'auto drive' where the robotic system takes over. At any time, a tap on the brake pedal will return control to the human driver."
The Oxford RobotCar UK project is now seeking law changes to enable the self-driving car to legally drive on the roads.
The technology is currently the cheapest of it's kind, costing only £5,000 but Professor Newman hopes that in the future models will only cost £100.
Google's similar self-driving cars in the US have successfully completed 300,000 "driverless" miles.
But driverless technology isn't new as the BBC show Tomorrow's World attempted a similar demonstration back in 1990. Parking the VW Futura didn't run quite as smoothly as today's gadgetry...

by Savita. Melissa, Katie and Kaitlin BODY ART Why are people getting Tattooed?
General Motivations: a) symbol for past event, friend, or love b) group membership c) mark of individuality
New Motivations: a) "human canvas" b) rise in popularity due to science, body image, and pop culture. Tattoos are being mainstream.
Studies show that tattoos specifically in adolescence correlate with risk taking: increase in drug and alcohol, sexual activity, suicide and illegal activity. Demographics
Tattoo Parlors/ Tattoo Studios with Tattoo Artists create a glamorous feel to the idea of getting body art. A tattoo is now seen as a fashion statement, nothing more than a piece of jewelery. Media and Tattoo Image Change Any Stigma surrounding the ancient body art has faded various groups of people are getting "tatted" up, so many more people than the traditional biker or gang member. Pew Research Study states: more than 1/3 people between 18 and 25 have a tattoo. Tattoo designs are becoming less meaningful and more fashionable. People are getting the same symbols as celebrities or certain tribal markings with unknown meanings. Less focus has been put on the meaning and more on the "coolness" factor that the tat brings Health Implications No federal or state law that specifically addresses tattoos for health care professionals
Tattoo regulation is determined
by the healthcare setting (Durning, 2012).
Online poll on the
American Nurses Association
official website ("The Display of Tattoos," 2011). Professional Constraints
in Health Care Settings In 2012, there was an outbreak of nontuberculous mycobacteria infections traced back to contaminated tattoo ink (LeBlanc, 2012).
Occurred in multiple states and from in ink from multiple companies
Needed prolonged treatment in many cases
Some infections were antibiotic resistant
Most common complication of tattoos is cellulitis, an inflammation of subcutaneous connective tissue. Rarely, vasculitis can occur, which is a swelling of the blood vessels. The picture is of hypersensitivity vasculitis caused by a tattoo in an otherwise healthy young man (Hessert, 2011) .
FDA lists the following as additional risks ("Think," 2009):
Infections, like hepatitis and HIV, through dirt needles
Allergies to the ink used
Rarely, burning occurs in the tattoo during an MRI.
Scarring can occur both when getting or trying to remove a tattoo
Granulomas: small bumps that form around things that the body perceives as foreign (in this case the tattoo pigment)
Risks of body piercing include: "infection, pain, bleeding, hematoma formation, cyst formation, allergic reaction, hypertrophic scarring, and keloid formation."
Interestingly, college students actually overestimated the prevalence of these risks in a 2007 study (Schorzman, 2007). Ta tatau: "appropriate, balanced, and fitting," (Kaatz, Elsner, & Bauer, 2008, p. 35)
Tattooing is "the insertion into the skin of any coloring materials designed to leave a semipermanent or permanent mark" (Chalmers, 2009, p. 102).
Cultural motivations:
A symbol of an important past event, love, or friendship
Group membership
Drive for survival, Impact of war
A marker of individuality
Newer generations: body art is sexy & beautiful, a form of celebration, display of fitness
Larger population densities
New advancements in healthcare
Body modifications are common in many cultures
African culture has lip, neck, and ear stretching and piercing (act of beauty)
In New Guinea, the Roro people are extensively tattooed- a lack = "raw" (Elbin, 1979)
Men and women with more body modifications reported more frequent alcohol intoxication, more traffic tickets, and more marijuana use then their "unadorned" counterparts
Earlobe piercing is common among women in Western society
College students reported body piercing as less socially acceptable and attractive on themselves than on others (Schorzman, 2007).
Previous assumptions: workplace would never allow tattoos
Now those making the hiring decisions are younger and have adopted new traditions about workplace appearance
Bankers, lawyers, accountants, clergy vs. advertizing, marketing, sales, technology
Gender bias
Lower perception of professionalism of female providers with tattoos compared to male providers Cultural & Ethnic Implications Developmental Pros & Cons Ethical Implications References Brigham and Women's Hospital- no "prominent uncovered tattoos" ("Brigham and Women's Hospital").
Vanderbilt University Medical Center prohibits
"Visible or gross tattooing on face, neck, arms or hands; tattoos 1 inch in size - graphic/disturbing, e.g., displaying violence, drugs, sex, alcohol, tobacco products." ("Vanderbilt University Medical Center").
Providence St. Vincent's Hospital in Oregon allows tattoos (Kaufman, 2011).
CONCLUSION TO THE PROBLEM: Although tattoos are increasingly common, we were unsure about the future implications of getting body art. As young people, tattoos are generally accepted but if we decide to get a tattoo we have to be very aware of the consequences. These include more immediate consequences, like infections and other health issues, as well as long term factors that we may not be thinking a lot of now, like employment.

There's something about sub-50s temperatures that make parties transition from far-flung cocktail bars to oh-so-convenient (for the host) house parties. It was in that spirit that I ended up in a number of apartments over the past few weeks, mixing awkward conversation with unfortunate (but budget-friendly) beer choices. On the way I ran into a few characters—over and over again. You probably know them. In fact, you're probably one of them:
The out-of-town friend: Oh hey, how do you know everyone again? Oh right, you don't. And you've adoped the party philosophy of "I'll never see these people again." So, this should end well.

MI Medical Marijuana Act Requirements Trump 2012 Transportation Law
Passed in 2008, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA) decriminalized the cultivation, use and transportation of marijuana that is used for medical purposes. The law also included a provision stating that the Act's provisions were controlling in determining how medical marijuana would be regulated by the state. Since that time, however, the legislature has passed several laws that add additional restrictions on how marijuana can be grown and transported. The legality of these additional requirements was discussed in Michigain v. Latz, a recent decision by the Michigan Court of Appeals.
In Latz, the defendant was charged with the illegal transportation of marijuana under a 2012 law. That law required medical marijuana transported in an automobile to be either enclosed in a case within the trunk of the vehicle or within a case that was not readily accessible within the interior of the vehicle. Although the prosecution acknowledged that the defendant, a patient under the MMMA, was in compliance with the transportation requirements of the MMMA, it argued that he was nonetheless guilty because he had not complied with the additional transportation requirements of the 2012 law. The defendant in turn argued that the MMMA's provisions invalidated those of the 2012 law.
Although it found that the 2012 law was likely passed with the intent of adding additional requirements to the MMMA, the court nonetheless ruled in favor of the defendant. In reaching this conclusion, the court noted that the language of the MMMA expressly invalidated other laws that penalized the otherwise legal use and transportation of medical marijuana under the MMMA. Therefore, because the 2012 law added additional requirements for the transportation of medical marijuana that were not present in the MMMA, the defendant could not be penalized for these additional requirements if he had already complied with the MMMA.

Thousands of dead bumble bees found in Oregon
WILSONVILLE — Thousands of dead and dying bees have been found in the parking lot of a shopping center in Wilsonville. Oregon officials say their preliminary investigation indicates blooming trees in the lot were recently sprayed with an insecticide known to be toxic to bees.
Rich Hatfield, a biologist with the Portland-based Xerces (ZERK-zees) Society for Invertebrate Conservation estimates at least 25,000 bumble bees have been killed. Shoppers called Hatfield on Monday to report the carnage, the Xerces Society said in a statement. The bees were clustered under dozens of linden trees.
Dan Hilburn, plant programs director at the state Agriculture Department, visited the parking lot Wednesday. He confirmed "thousands of dead bees."
"I've never seen anything like that before," Hilburn said.
Most of the dead were gold-and-black bumble bees although honey bees and some ladybugs were found dead as well.
A primary focus of the Agriculture Department's preliminary investigation is a pesticide called Safari that apparently was applied in the area last Saturday to control aphids, said Dale Mitchell, program manager in the Agriculture Department's pesticide compliance and enforcement section.
Safari is part of a family of pesticides called neonicotinoids that are considered acutely toxic to pollinators.
Mitchell noted that approved pesticide products carry very specific hazard labels.
Bee and vegetation samples were taken for testing to confirm what's responsible for the kill, Mitchell said. His investigation will look at any potential pesticide use in the vicinity.
Bumble bees play a crucial role in pollinating berries, flowers and other plants.
"Honey bees and bumble bees were arriving as we were there, and bees are still dying," Hilburn said in a telephone interview Wednesday evening.
He planned a conference call Thursday with researchers and Xerces Society officials. Possibilities include netting the trees, stripping them of their flowers and using non-toxic repellents to keep the bees away.
"We're not coming up with a lot of good options," Hilburn said.
With the investigation just beginning, Mitchell declined to identify the property management company responsible for the area. Even if lab tests confirm the pesticide as a cause of the bee kill, it might have been applied by a subcontractor or other party, he said.
The agency would also investigate whether the pesticide was used according to label instructions and whether it was applied in a faulty, careless or negligent manner, Mitchell said.
If violations are found, Agriculture Department civil penalties could range from a standard maximum of $1,000 per violation to a maximum of $10,000 per violation for gross negligence or willful misconduct, Mitchell said.
A report on the bee kill was carried in The Oregonian.

The folks behind "Arrow" might not want you think that this is a superhero show, but that doesn't mean you won't be seeing several DC Comics notables when the television series debuts next Wednesday (October 10). And you won't have to wait much longer than the premiere to see one of Oliver Queen's deadliest foes come to life.
The Huffintgon Post scored the first look at actor Michael Rowe fully in character as Deadshot, the eagle-eyed assassin making the leap from the paneled page to the small screen in the third episode of "Arrow," titled "Lone Gunman," airing October 24.
Read on for another shot of the bad guy in action.
What do you think of Deadshot's new look? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter!

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
MTV said Wednesday it is canceling its West Virginia-based reality TV show "BUCKWILD" a week after the accidental death of 21-year-old star Shain Gandee.
Network spokesman Jake Urbanski confirmed the news, saying it was "not an easy decision."
On Sunday, MTV will air a special, "BUCKWILD: WV to the NYC," which was shot before second-season filming had begun. The network said Shain's parents, Dale and Loretta Gandee, support the move.
Gandee and two others were found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning on April 1. Gandee's SUV was stuck in a mud pit near his home in Sissonville, its tail pipe submerged. That could have allowed the invisible gas to fill the vehicle's cabin.
Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle, David Gandee, and 27-year-old friend Donald Robert Myers had last been seen leaving a bar at 3 a.m. March 31. Friends and family searched all day for them, and authorities issued a missing-persons report the following day.
The Gandees were buried Sunday after a joint memorial service in Charleston that drew hundreds of friends, family and fans. Cameras were not allowed inside the Charleston Municipal Auditorium or at the private family burial in Thaxton Cemetery.
Shain Gandee, nicknamed "Gandee Candy" by fans, was a breakout star of the show that followed the antics of young friends enjoying their wild country lifestyle. Season one was filmed last year, mostly around Sissonville and Charleston.
Gandee favored four-wheelers, pickups and SUVs over cell phones and computers, and "mudding," or off-road driving, was one of his favorite pastimes. It was no coincidence some mourners arrived in mud-splattered trucks.
Shooting was underway on season two at the time of Gandee's death, but MTV said film crews were not with him over Easter weekend and hadn't filmed him since earlier that week.
MTV said the half-hour series in the old "Jersey Shore" time slot was pulling in an average of 3 million viewers per episode since its premiere and was the No. 1 original cable series on Thursday nights among 12- to 34-year-olds.
But many fans, including some at Gandee's funeral, said the show just wouldn't have been the same without him.
The network issued a statement from Loretta and Dale Gandee, thanking fans for their thoughts and prayers.

Virgin Media has made SmartCall, a free home phone call service, available on smartphones.
The service, which arrives today on both iOS and Android, allows you to make free phone calls over Wi-Fi, even when you're abroad. It won't work over 3G or 4G, which Virgin cites as an advantage because it won't rack up any roaming charges while you're outside of the UK.
Big savings
You'll need a Virgin Media home phone talk plan, and the type you have will determine when SmartCalls are possible. For example, if your plan only allows you free weekend calls, SmartCall will only be available during the weekends.
Virgin claims users of the app can make yearly savings of up to £25 when calling 0845 and 0870 numbers from a mobile, £24 on European roaming costs, £108 on US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand roaming costs and £180 on roaming costs in the rest of the world.
You can download the app now at the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.

just wondering.Apr 26, '08[quote=IampattyRN;2802145]thats pretty much the pay here in FL.
but let me ask you,
how is the cost of living?
The cost of living in Columbus is pretty low. I have lived in several big cities before (D.C. and Baltimore) and it is a LOT lower than there. Housing is very reasonable and I understand it to be lower than in Florida (from what I know from friends who live down there). We do have a higher tax liability than many states, so that adds up...but I think we have a good cost of living situation here.Sep 13, '10My wife is from Columbus, and I'm in nursing school, about to graduate in December with my BSN. I'm applying for the OSU RN Residency program and was wandering if anyone knows anything about this program. Specifically how many people are accepted, and generally what the program is like. Any info will help. Thanks!Sep 13, '10I work for Ohio Health, and I'm pretty sure that the starting hourly rate is $23.21 (that could be off by a few cents, but that's pretty close). Shift differential is $4.75 and weekend differential is also $4.75. Hope that helps!Sep 22, '10@CNM2B off topic..but can you give me a few tips on how to get hired in at OhioHealth? applied 3 weeks ago..

|Bernie Crane Mission Hating the Haters
- This article is about the mission given by Bernie Crane in Grand Theft Auto IV. For the road in Algonquin, see Union Drive East and Union Drive West.
Union Drive is the second mission for Bernie Crane in Grand Theft Auto IV
The objective of the mission is to meet with blackmailers of Bernie. Bernie explains that the people that he and Niko are meeting are representatives of the blackmailers in Northwood. He says to take a "fast and intimidating car", there is usually a Comet or Turismo nearby. Bernie lets the reps know that he will not negotiate with them, and it is revealed that they are representing Dimitri Rascalov. The player is instructed to chase and kill them, but it is easier to focus on the road (watch out for buses and trucks blocking your way), and eventually they will reach a dead end in Castle Garden City. The player can then exit the vehicle and kill Dimitri's men with a weapon. Take Bernie home to complete the mission.

- The name of the mission is double entendre referring to two seemingly unrelated topics. On one hand, the name references the nature of the mission: To drive in order to secure a "union" between lovers; on the other, it references the names of highways where much of the car chase in the mission occurs, Union Drive East and Union Drive West.
- The mission is one of only a handful of occasions in the game when a Super GT is available to be taken.
- After completing the mission, a Weazel News report on the radio will say Russian business man Dimitri Rascalov was held by police but released without charges. This event has little to do with the story, although it does show that the police suspect him or know what he's up to.
- Dimitri calls soon after this mission and tells Niko he will "cut him in" if he helps expose Dawkins, and he also makes jokes about Niko being gay for hanging out with Bernie this is implied that he doesn't know were Niko is but he knows what he's up to.
- When the player gets to the Castle Tunnel a police cruiser will chase the hitmen, but will lose control and crash. This is one of the two times in the game the LCPD will pursue someone rather than the player. The other time is in Buoys Ahoy.
- If the chase lasts until the park and Niko shoots the blackmailers there, odds are a wanted level will be triggered. Unusually, however, the mission does not require Niko to lose the wanted level before taking Bernie home and ending the mission.

Because he's been around Dirk Nowitzki for quite some time, Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle isn't surprised by what his superstar has been able to accomplish this season.
But others around the NBA seem surprised that Nowitkzi has been able to maintain his status as one of the league's premier players despite being 35 years old.
"I can only tell you my thoughts on it," Carlisle said Wednesday. "I'm not surprised, but I've had 5 1/2 years to see how he's wired and see how he approaches things."
After a subpar season following arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in October 2012, Nowitzki has bounced back in grand style.
The 16-year veteran is averaging 21.9 points and 6.2 rebounds while shooting 48.7 percent from the field in only 32.4 minutes per game.
Nowitzki's performance helped him earn his 12th All-Star appearance this year. He also will be the oldest player in this year's All-Star Game, set for Feb. 16 in New Orleans.
The honor solidified Nowitzki's status as one of the game's greatest players. It also might silence some of Nowitzki's critics who thought he was on the downside of his illustrious career.
"If people are surprised, that's fine," Carlisle said. "But you're talking about all-time great players and the kind of wiring that they have.
"They're wired to be great and that's just how they do business."
Mavs owner Mark Cuban and former Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley will be forever linked.
That's probably why Cuban recently sent get-well emails to Heisley, 76, who had a stroke about this time last year and spent some time in a coma.
Heisley and Cuban each received their NBA ownership papers on the same day at a ceremony in New York City about 14 years ago. They also have remained fast friends.
"I sent an email to his wife so she could read it to him," Cuban said. "He's not doing too well."
Heisley started feeling ill at last year's All-Star Game in Houston. He left the game early and flew to his home in Chicago, where he had the stroke.
Prior to last season, Heisley sold the Grizzlies to Robert Pera.
The Mavs had a scare in the first half when Nowitzki went down clutching his left shoulder with less than four minutes remaining before halftime.
Nowitzki was making a move toward the basket when James Johnson came across and swiped at the ball, but made contact with the 16-year veteran's shoulder.
No foul, however, was called. And while Nowitzki was busy complaining and grabbing his shoulder, the Grizzlies went down and scored.
Dallas called timeout, Nowitzki was checked out by the Mavs' medical staff and he stayed in the game. After the game, Carlisle said he thought Nowitzki "just got a stinger."
The stinger obviously didn't affect Nowitzki as he finished with a game-high 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting in the Mavs' 110-96 victory.

Hello, kidSTART Friends!
We're having so much fun with Creation Station that we just can's stop! This month, your preschoolers will continue to be introduced to the days of creation one train car at a time. What's been your preschoolers favorite car so far?
As we approach day six of creation, know that we will spend two days on this super special day. Not only did God make animals on day six (and all preschoolers love animals), but God made US on day six! Yes, God made you and me! This is always such an exciting day to share with our smallest friends. I love to see their eyes get big and round when they hear that they are part of the creation story. God made people too!! Not only did He make people, but He made us to have a relationship with Him. That's such an awesome part of the story to share.
We will finish the Creation Station unit with a Creation Station Celebration. It's time to party and thank God for everything He made. Use this week to review all the days of creation and celebrate each and every one.

1 & 1/4 cup soy flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 cup tapioca starch/flour
1 cup white or brown rice flour
Mix the above (I usually sift it together)--then use the amount called for in the recipe--the recipe does not use all of this.
Make your sauce (below) before mixing the dough--this gives the sauce time to get full of flavor. I often make it earlier in the day.
1 ---15 ounce can of tomato sauce
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (use a GF brand)
1-2 drops of hot sauce
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
black pepper
The Crust:
1 tab sugar
1 tab of olive oil
1 and 1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
4-1/4 tsp yeast
3 to 3 & 1/2 cup of the above flour
3/4 tsp Xanthan gum (omit if using regular flour)
1- tab Italian seasoning (I used Mrs. Dash salt free.) optional
Put sugar, oil, and water in a microwave bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute or until water is lukewarm (around 115-120 degrees F.) Add yeast. Let sit a minute till it gets frothy. Add 1-1/2 cup of the flour mixing until smooth. Add salt (and Italian seasoning if using)and then enough of the rest of the flour (around 1 & 1/2 cup or so until the dough is just barely firm enough to handle. Stir until smooth. Put in 15 inch non-stick cookie sheet pan ( sprayed lightly with pam). You may have to add a bit more flour on hands and dough surface to get it to spread.
Let rise 25-35 minutes--so that it gets a bit puffy. (I like to cook the dough at this stage in the pan for about 3 minutes before spreading with the sauce and toppings then continue cooking after spreading with sauce and toppings )Spread with the sauce and toppings you desire. Cook in preheated oven 425 degrees for about 15 minutes or a bit more until slightly browned (you want the middle area on the bottom to get brown as well--so test it)
Topping: I used red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion, cooked mushrooms, and black olives (cooked spinach would probably be good)

The Dallas Observer, LP is a free alternative weekly newspaper distributed in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and headquartered in Dallas.[3] At its inception in October, 1980, by partners Ken Kirk and Bob Walton, it was conceived as a weekly local arts and cinema review publication, with the credo "Advocate for Excellence in Arts and Entertainment" on the cover. For a time during the early years, the paper switched to a biweekly publishing schedule. In 1985, the paper reverted to a weekly schedule and began concentrating on local news as well as the arts. While it is now known for its investigative stories of the local government, it also covers local sports stories, restaurants, events, and concerts.
The former Mayor of Dallas, Laura Miller, previously worked as a reporter for the Dallas Observer.
In 1991 the Observer was bought by New Times Media.[4] In 2005, New Times both acquired and adopted the corporate name of Village Voice Media.[5] In September 2012, Village Voice Media executives Scott Tobias, Christine Brennan and Jeff Mars bought Village Voice Media's papers and associated web properties from its founders and formed Voice Media Group.[6]
