CertSimple will be shutting down on January 30 2020. Read the announcement here.
By Mike on 5th Jan 2017
Update April 2017: Google Chrome now doesn't use the 'CN' field at all since Chrome 58.
HTTPS certificate vendors often discuss two types of certificates:
Which inevitably leads to questions for people who need an HTTPS cert. Here are some of those, and the answers:
Should I get a single domain, or multi domain / SAN / UCC cert? Even if you only have a single domain now, you may still want to add additional domains in the future. Or you might not. Or you might later and not know it right now, at which point changing your certificate type is a pain.
Is www a seperate domain from my actual site? Yes. It may be included for free, or not, depending on both the certificate vendor and the type of cetificate you're purchasing.
So with my domain as well as www, isn't that two domains total? So is my 'single domain' certificate actually a 'SAN/UCC certificate'? Yes, your 'single domain' cert has multiple SANS. It just might not be a SAN product, so you can't add any more domains.
If I only want a single domain now, can I switch to a multi domain cert later? This is actually surprisingly hard with a lot of existing cert vendors.
What should I put into the
CN fields when creating a CSR? It doesn't matter. The CN is always less important than the SANs. And it's been this way for about a decade.
Let's go into more detail.
HTTPS implementations - ie, web browsers and servers - follow RFC 2818: HTTP Over TLS, a document published in 2001 which says:
Although the use of the Common Name is existing practice, it is deprecated and Certification Authorities are encouraged to use the DNSName instead.
To clarify: DNSName is the most common type of Subject Alt name entry. Ie, CN has been deprecated in favour of SAN since 2001.
CAs create certificates the same way. The Baseline Requirements, the minimum rules used to issue all certificates, mentions:
18.104.22.168.2. Subject Distinguished Name Fields
Certificate Field: subject:commonName (OID 126.96.36.199)
Required/Optional: Deprecated (Discouraged, but not prohibited)
If present, this field MUST contain a single IP address or Fully‐Qualified Domain Name that is one of the values contained in the Certificate's subjectAltName extension
Again, the
CN is either unused or just a copy of one of the DNS names in the
Subject Alternative Names field.
www is just another domain name - it's not any different from
download.example.com or
mail.example.com. Just like those names,
www has to be included as a SAN inside the certificate.
This means a 'single domain' certificate still has at least two SANs.
RFC 6125: The Cosmonaut's Last Message to the Woman He Once Loved in the Former Soviet Union (2011) - this may not actually be this RFCs name, but we ran out of electrons trying to show you the real one - states:
2.3. Subject Naming in PKIX Certificates
For our purposes, an application service can be identified by a name or names carried in the subject field (i.e., a CN-ID) and/or in one of the following identifier types within
Later in Checking of Common Names the RFC reiterates:
As noted, a client MUST NOT seek a match for a reference identifier of CN-ID if the presented identifiers include a DNS-ID, SRV-ID, URI-ID, or any application-specific identifier types supported by the client.
Therefore, if and only if the presented identifiers do not include a DNS-ID, SRV-ID, URI-ID, or any application-specific identifier types supported by the client, then the client MAY as a last resort check for a string whose form matches that of a fully qualified DNS domain name in a Common Name field of the subject field (i.e., a CN-ID).
I.e., the SAN field is the list of domains. The only time a CN will ever be used is if the SAN field doesn't have any domain names at all - which these days is incredibly rare and, because that would be a gross violation of the baseline requirements CAs must follow, most likely to be a malformed certificate.
So just to reiterate:
There's now a single base price to do the EV checks on your company including the base domain and www, and you add names now or later. This means:
This isn't CertSimple being good, it's us being competent - the previous situation, despite being common in our industry, genuinely sucked and made things unnecessarily complicated. Sorry to everyone who had to put up with us handling things the way the rest of the industry does.
Mike MacCana, founder at CertSimple.

Neatly Regimented Slugs
Back to the grind.
Well, it's not really a grind, but bulk-painting a steampunk naval armada for Dystopian Wars feels so utterly different to what I've been doing for the Salute competition entries this past couple of weeks.
I've got all the starter box ships and aircraft assembled and now they're black-undercoated, ready for some colour.
No pics to show you I'm afraid. They'd probably just look like a field of neatly regimented slugs anyway!
I've got the old neodymium magnets out again and stuck them on the Sokotsu class battleship. It has a hardpoint at the back for an interchangeable shield / disruption generator option and I also decided to magnetise the gun batteries – so I can point them at my enemies mid-game! (Mrs Von Deadlock will inevitably declare that I'm such a geek)
I've not yet magnetised the weapon pieces though. It occurs to me that, as they're so small, I probably only need a magnet on the hull of the ship and can get away with a small metal disk on the weapon itself. Trouble is, I'm struggling to find a piece of easy-to-cut ferrous sheet material to use!
I've just ordered a 0.6mm magnetic sheet from eBay so hopefully that'll do the job.
Annoyingly, because I had decided not to double the magnets I took no notice of the poles as I was gluing them in. Hope that doesn't come back to bite me!
Anyway, the ships (and bombers and fighter tokens) are all undercoated, and tonight I think I shall get the airbrush to them. I'm probably just going to mimic the appealing studio paintscheme – ie grey-turquoise, with golden brown decking and red details.
I'm aiming to fast paint this lot and feel like they should respond well to drybrushing and washing, after some initial shading with the airbrush. So I should have a photograph of some nicely coloured ships to show you soon.
…more caterpillars than slugs, I hope.

By Ratneshwar Thakur
New Delhi September 19: It is believed that exaggerated response to bad memories is similar for all negative memories. Now, a team of Indian scientists has shown that exaggerated response and difficulty to get rid of bad memories could depend on whether the bad memory was formed before or after a stressful event.
The finding is based on experiments done in rats using a technique called fear conditioning. When a rat is presented with a sound tone along with an aversive cue, it forms a memory that the tone is bad. The rat freezes in fear whenever the tone is played. But when the tone is repeated without the aversive cue, the animal learns to forget aversive memory and realizes that the tone is not bad.
When rats underwent stressful experience before fear conditioning, they showed increased fear response and inability to forget the aversive memory. In contrast, when they underwent the stressful experience afterward, they did not show any enhanced response fear or inability to extinguish the fear memory.
Researchers also recorded the brain activity of the rats as they underwent fear conditioning and stressful experience. It was found that although the amygdala (the emotional hub of the brain) remained hyperactive in stressed animals, it did not affect the expression of fear memory. The prefrontal cortex which remained relatively unaffected in stressed animals seemed to control the normal fear response.
Earlier studies had shown that the amygdala and prefrontal cortex play important role in fear-related behavior. While the amygdala is involved in the formation of fear memories, the prefrontal cortex (involved in making executive decisions) helps in their regulation and finally extinction. Stress has been found to elicit the opposite effects on the two brain structures.
"When fear-enhancing effects of prior exposure to stress are not in play, the expression of fear reflects normal regulation of prefrontal activity, not stress-induced hyperactivity in the amygdala," explained Prof. Sumantra Chattarji, leader of the research team.
Stress-induced strengthening of fear memories and impaired fear extinction are generally believed to be a behavioral manifestation of these contrasting effects on amygdala and prefrontal cortex. This has given rise to the view that stress impairs the ability to extinguish fear memories. "Our study questions this view", researchers said. However, more studies in animals and humans will be required to further explore how this research can be used for treating stress disorders.
The study was done by Bangalore-based National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) and the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inSTEM) has been published in journal eLife. The research team included Mohammed Mostafizur Rahman, Ashutosh Shukla, and Sumantra Chattarji. This work was supported by the Department of Atomic Energy and the Department of Biotechnology.

- Page 2 Features and 2D Performance Review
- Page 3 3D Performance and Verdict Review
- Lovely design and build quality
- Often excellent picture quality
- Good multimedia features
- Not the cheapest 46in TV
- Interface needs work
- Faint 'seams' at the picture's edge
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £1649.00

- Active 3D playback
- Bravia Internet Video system
- 3D glasses and Skype camera included free
Having had a bizarrely mixed experience with Sony TVs this year, we're feeling optimistic about the brand's KDL-46HX923. After all, this is Sony's flagship 46in TV, so if any TV is going to show what the brand is capable of when it pushes the boat out, it should be this one.
It certainly looks the part. Its fascia is a gorgeously smooth, seamless one-layer affair with a jet-black bezel and a subtly but attractively (and optionally!) illuminated Sony logo in the centre of the bottom edge. Sony calls this look Monolithic, and we like it. A lot.
The 46HX923 is a bit fatter round the back than most of Sony's Monolithic designs. But given that we tend to look at TVs from the front this design 'issue' doesn't necessarily bother us that much. Especially as the 46HX923 has a very good excuse for its slight extra bulk, namely that it uses direct LED lighting rather than edge LED lighting.
Experience suggests that this is very good news, as having an array of LED lights directly behind the screen rather than around its edge has consistently delivered a richer contrast performance – especially when, as in the 46HX923's case, you've got a system like Sony's 'Intelligent Peak LED system to deliver local dimming, whereby different areas of the picture can be illuminated to separate levels to boost contrast.
The 46HX923's pictures also enjoy Sony's currently most powerful video processing system, incorporating Motionflow XR 800 and X-Reality PRO. Motionflow reproduces fast-moving content at the equivalent of 800 frames per second to reduce blur and boost detail levels, while X-Reality PRO is on hand to boost numerous picture elements but particularly the clarity of standard definition and even Internet-sourced video feeds. It's the clean-up power applied to usually heavily compressed Web video that separates X-Reality PRO from the standard X-Reality system found further down Sony's range.
As we would expect of any flagship TV this year, the 46HX923 supports 3D playback. And this is full HD active 3D, complete with two pairs of active shutter 3D glasses thrown in for free.
That's not all Sony is currently giving way with the 46HX923, either. For a start, if you submit a claim form before 31st January 2012 you'll be entitled to £150 cashback (please note that this discount is included in the £1,649 price we've quoted). But also you can currently get the 46HX923 with a free Skype camera accessory and – best of all – with a free PlayStation 3 console, the Unchartered 3 game, two Harry Potter 3D Blu-rays, and vouchers for Harry Potter 1 & 2 on Video Unlimited.
The PS3 PS3/Unchartered 3/Harry Potter deal only runs until 12th December, though, so if you're interested, you'd better get a shift on.
Actually, this apparent – if temporary in some cases – generosity from Sony is pretty important in trying to make the TV look fair value in these hard times, given that it's considerably more expensive than your average 46in TV. But then we still strongly believe there should be a place in the TV market for genuinely premium TVs, so long as they deliver something unique or particularly brilliant.
Another key element of the 46HX923's proposition is its Bravia Internet Video support. This online Sony service is arguably our favourite online TV offering, simply because of its strong focus on delivering on-demand video services such as LoveFilm, Sony's Qriocity film library, the BBC iPlayer, the Demand 5 Channel 5 catch up service, a 3D content channel, and loads more besides.
Sony has recently added social networking tools to its BIV offering in the shape of Facebook and Twitter apps, plus there's the already mentioned Skype functionality and a built-in Web browser. Though as usual, this Web browser isn't exactly fun to use thanks to the sheer difficulties of trying to navigate sites and type Web addresses using the set's (surprisingly bog-standard) remote control.

72 par | 7,324 yards
Suggest Edit
The 18-hole "Branson Hills" course at the Branson Hills Golf Club facility in Branson, Missouri features 7,324 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. Designed by Bobby Clampett/Chuck Smith, the Branson Hills golf course opened in 2008. Dan Davis, PGA manages the course as the General Manager/Golf Professional.
My brother and I played the course in July 2011. Great layout and we very much enjoyed playing the course. For the price, they need to improve a few small things that long time golfers expect. Missing were drinking water located on the course, towels on some of the ball cleaners and no cups were provided even though there was a small cooler with ice on the cart. After playing we had lunch in the clubhouse. It is a beautiful setting and the food & service were very good. I suspect we will see a Nationwide tournament played there one of these years.
My group had a terrible experience at this course. They do not honor the tee time prices that are booked on their own website! I received a call the morning of our tee time to let me know that the special online rate would not be honored for our group. The GM insisted that we pay the regular rate. We really wanted to play, so we went along with it, but that created a very bad vibe on the experience. The way that they treat customers must be the reason that nobody was at the course on a beautiful weekend in April. This course needs a few more years to mature, but I have my doubts that they will make it that long.
The most pristine course I've ever played. The second most beautiful. It was awesome to pay tribute to Payne!
My son and a friend traveled to Branson with me from St. Louis just play this course. Well worth the trip! We'll be back.
Me and a friend played this Awsome course 3/13/10 and 3/18/10. It's a hard course. Tight fairways. Bent grass greens were the best If you go to branson don't miss this one.
This Course was amazing, every hole was like a magazine photo..
Fabulous! Great scenery, back nine still needs work but it is going to be a 10
This is an excellant course for the low handicapper. I am a high handicapper so had my share of problems. Course is very well maintained, amenities are excellant, and cost is in line with other courses in the area. Highly recommend for low handicappers who want a challenge, and for us duffers who want to play a championship course. All 18 holes are now open.

Eugene Volokh has a post up dismantling the idiotic rantings of Paul
Craig Roberts, "VDare" contributor and recent co-author, with Senator
Charles Schumer, of an anti-free trade tract.
How one individual manages to harbor so much idiocy within his head is
beyond me. Let me give you a flavor of what Volokh has to say:
"In the old feudal system, there were no First
Amendment rights. The legally privileged were free to engage in hate
speech and to verbally harass others, but any commoner who replied in
kind could be sued or have his tongue cut out. Senate Majority Leader
Trent Lott still has his tongue, but just barely. He used his tongue in
a way that gave offense to the new aristocrats. Black Americans have been granted the right to be offended
by any words they don't like and to extract retribution. The offending
speaker finds himself forced into contrition and humiliating apologies.
Often the penalty is a destroyed career. . . . The spectacle proves --
if proof is any longer required -- that the First Amendment has been
trumped by the race-based privileges of the new feudalism." Wow
-- "black Americans" are "the new aristocrats"; and when a public
outcry leads to political damage to a politician (the general way in
which free speech often works in a free country), that's somehow the
equivalent of "feudalism." (italics added)
What more is
there to say? There's plenty more where that came from. Anybody who
writes for an outfit like "VDare" is by definition a depraved idiot.
Fine company Chuck Schumer's keeping eh? That's what you get for
hanging around with anti-globalization kooks.

It believes with the help of this method, it is possible to observe in real-time, the deviation of Li-ions - one of the causes of deterioration in the performance of Li-ion batteries.
Li-ion batteries use a metal oxide in the cathode, a carbon material in the anode, and an organic electrolyte for the electrolyte. Lithium ions flow in the electrolyte from the cathode to the anode when the battery is charging, and from the anode to the cathode when the battery is discharging, which results in an electric current flow.
It has been known that Li-ion deviation occurs in the electrodes and electrolyte as a result of charging and discharging, and such deviation has been believed to limit the usage area of batteries, which is one factor that reduces the area in which the maximum performance of the battery can be achieved.
After this observation method, Toyota thought in place of the electrolyte with phosphorus that is used in many Li-ion batteries, a new electrolyte with heavy elements is being utilised instead, thus replacing the phosphorous-containing ions that the Li-ions bind to as they move in the electrolyte with heavy element-containing ions.
Heavy elements transmit less of the X-rays than phosphorous, and the shadows on the images taken after the X-rays pass through are darker. By observing the behaviour of the heavy elements, it is possible to observe the deviation behaviour of the Li-ions which are bound to them in the electrolyte.
This observational method was jointly developed by Toyota Central R&D Labs, Nippon Soken, and four universities.

Prestigious stud in court battle after foal returned to owner with 'a cough'
The owner of a thoroughbred foal, whose chances of becoming a racehorse were dashed after he was returned to her with a cough, has won her bid to take the owners of a prestigious stud back to court in a £420,000 legal battle.
Horse breeder Karen Watson found her £120,000 foal Sidney had contracted a chest infection whilst in the care of Yorkshire stud farm owners Stephen and Josephine Knowles in 2010 at Beechwood Grange Stud in York.
Despite the stud calling a vet to tend to Sidney they failed to inform the medic that the foal also had a high temperature, the Appeal Court has heard.
When Sidney was delivered home and he was found to be "coughing", Miss Watson sought urgent veterinary advice and he was treated with powerful antibiotics, but she claims the damage had already been done, and whilst Sidney is now much loved as a pet, his value as a potential race horse has been wiped out.
The foal's condition then became more serious and he suffered long term damage ruining his prospects as a future racehorse, Miss Watson claims.
Mr and Mrs Knowles deny any responsibility for Sidney's illness and were exonerated by a county court judge in 2014. But Miss Watson has now succeeded in overturning that ruling at the Court of Appeal.
After three years of courtroom battles, racking up lawyers' bills which Miss Watson estimates will reach £300,000, the case will now be re-tried with the loser set to take a huge financial hit.
London's Appeal Court heard that, when Sidney first fell ill, he was displaying symptoms of diarrhoea and a raised temperature of 102 degrees.
Lord Justice Jackson said that Mr and Mrs Knowles did not tell the vet who attended the foal about the high temperature he was running.
And the vet went on to treat Sidney for a stomach upset, rather than looking for a more serious ailment.
Miss Watson maintains that, had the vet been appraised of all the facts, Sidney would have received prompt treatment for his condition which would have saved him from permanent damage.
Lord Justice Jackson, allowing her appeal, said: "Sidney contracted rattles in the first few weeks of his life whilst at Beechwood Grange Stud.
"That was not the fault of the stud, which maintains proper standards of hygiene.
"But the judge fell into error in his ruling that Mrs and Mrs Knowles had no duty to inform the vet of Sidney's elevated temperature.
"He ought to have held that Beechwood Grange Stud was under a duty to lay the relevant facts before the vet.
"They ought to have appreciated that Sidney's temperature was an important matter.
"The elevated temperature was an indication that the matter was more serious than a stomach upset.
"A reasonably competent stud farm owner would be under a duty to place before the vet all material facts of which the stud farm owner was aware.
"They had been looking after Sidney for seven weeks and knew he had a temperature of 102 degrees.
"It is not appropriate to withhold material from a vet in the hope that he will find it out himself.
"The appeal will be allowed and the judgment set aside. The case will be remitted to Leeds County Court for a retrial," the judge concluded.
Urging compromise on the warring sides, without the need for a retrial, Lord Justice Jackson told Miss Watson: "I hope for your sake, and for the defendants' sake, that there will be a serious attempt to settle this litigation."

Spiced Hot Chocolate on a Stick
By Heather Baird, Sprinkle Bakes
Ingredients and Supplies
- 8 small paper or plastic cups
- 8 wooden spoons, lollipop sticks, or wooden craft sticks
- 8 oz. best-quality chocolate, chopped evenly (Valrhona, Scharffen Berger and Callebaut are all good choices)
- ¼ cup natural cocoa powder, sifted
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
- ¼ tsp. ground cloves
- ¼ tsp. ground Ginger
- ½ tsp. ground Cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
- Disposable piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped
- One or two grinds of black pepper
- Whole star anise and cinnamon sticks (optional)
- Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.
- Simmer a pot of water filled 1/3 full and place bowl over water.
- Stir until chocolate is almost completely melted, with just a few lumps remaining.
- Remove bowl from simmering pot and wipe the bottom of the bowl with a dish cloth to avoid getting water in the chocolate. Continue to stir until chocolate has melted completely.
- Stir in cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar and spices. The mixture will be very thick and it may take a few minutes to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients.
- Transfer mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Pipe mixture evenly into the 8 cups (about 1 oz. per cup/cavity).
- Give each cup a tap or two on the kitchen counter to remove air bubbles.
- Place a 'stick' into each cup. The mixture should be thick enough for the stick to stand upright. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon, then decorate with pieces of star anise and cinnamon sticks if desired.
- Place cups in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes, or until chocolate has hardened. If using paper or plastic cups, remove hardened chocolate by snipping the side of the cup with a pair of scissors, and peeling it away from the chocolate.
- Package in cellophane bags for gift-giving or display on a fancy platter on your holiday treat table!

Regardless of what sort of camera you possess or how regularly you utilize it, the odds are that you are at any rate somewhat inspired by enhancing your photography skills. Luckily, it is possible to learn more about digital photography paying little respect to what sort of camera you have or how much time you need to give to the side interest.
Learning more about digital photography will empower you to take better pictures and appreciate it all the more, paying little respect to how every now and again you utilize your camera. It might even motivate you to take pictures all the more regularly and commit more opportunity to examining photography.
One of the most straightforward approaches to learning more about digital photography is to peruse a book regarding the matter. A decent book about digital photography will clarify subjects, for example, center, introduction, and encircling in a way that anybody can understand. Perusing a decent book about digital photography will give you thoughts for various things to attempt and approaches to modify the settings on your camera and change the photos that you take.
You can read about a technique in a book at that point get out your camera and give it a shot for yourself. On the off chance that you would prefer not to buy a book about digital photography at that point check your nearby library. There is a decent possibility that they have a few photography books accessible.
If you regularly do the majority of your examination online as opposed to in a book, at that point you are in good fortune. There is an abundance of digital photography data accessible on the web. Seeking "digital photography" will return a vast number of results.
You can read web journals composed of proficient picture takers, look through online displays of pictures, and research to discover precisely how a particular photo was taken. Doing the more significant part of this online enables you to allude to a specific image or snippet of data more than once as you try to enhance your photography skills.
If you are incredibly genuine about learning more about digital photography, at that point, you might need to investigate taking a photography class. Most claims to fame camera shops offer photography classes educated by staff individuals. Now and again these are complimentary on the off chance that you buy a camera or a focal point from their store.
On the other hand, numerous junior colleges offer essential photography classes at a reasonable cost. Taking a photography class at a junior college will give you the chance to refine your photography skills over a progression of weeks or months. You will get assignments and be relied upon to photo particular subjects or utilize techniques and convey your outcomes to class for criticism. This can be an incredible method to enhance your photography skills.
Regardless of whether you can take a photography class, the ideal approach to learn progressively and improve as a picture taker is to take more pictures. Keep your camera with you however much as could be expected and don't dither to take it out and take a couple of pictures of something that pulls in your consideration.
Once you've made a few photos, take a stab at submitting them to an online photograph display or other territories to evaluating. This will empower you to get criticism from different picture takers and keep on refining your techniques.

Music Market in Japan
Japan has a population of 126,804,433 people, the 10th most populous country in the world. The Japanese spend more money on music than anyone in the world. According to the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), in 2009 there were a total of 11,225 million domestic music sales and 7,435 million international music sales. 90% of the music is digitally downloaded by mobile phones and 10% is downloaded via computer. The genres of music range between everything from pop, rock, classical, and even traditional.
Japan is often described as the home of innovation due to its advances in technology, jumps in fashion trends, and creative influences. Even in the music business, Japan has developed new styles, sounds, and presentation. Foreign artists from many different countries are starting to display these trends, such as Lady Gaga, of whom is greatly know in the US for her wacky dress style. Her dress style is called 'Visual Kei', which was originally developed and made popular in the late 70s in Japan.
Japan is incredibly strong in the music market because the Japanese spend more money on music than any other country in the world. The continuous use of promotional videos in everyday television and specialized programs give an advantage to artists in Japan. Not only that, but new artists looking to hit it big collect in Harujuku to perform free mini-concerts in the streets. This generates a constant flow of new label signings.
Although the Japanese spend more money on music than anyone else, they have just as many problems with piracy as anywhere else. Many Japanese do not have personal computers in their households, so most piracy is done through free download websites for cellular phones. Music is expensive in Japan and free download sites encourage piracy. The problem with this, as it is in all music markets, is that if the company distributing the songs do not make money, they are not able to produce as much product.
As mentioned before, Harujuku offers many opportunities for people wanting to become big artists. It is common for talent scouts to wander around here in search of new faces for the music business. This, in turn, creates more business for record labels and more influence for a culture which is always seeking something "fresh and exciting".
As more companies find new ways for consumers to listen to music (iPods™, internet radio stations such as last.fm™, YouTube™, and other sources), the demand for music increases. Artists rise to meet this rise in demand by producing and distributing their music into the market. Japan is prime for artists, new and old, to distribute their music.
Music is promoted through the use of the visual media. Promotional Videos (PVs) are shown occasionally during commercial breaks or before music channel interviews. Television programs such as "Music Station", "Hey Hey Hey", and "MTV Japan" show PVs in hopes of attracting the target market to purchase the new album or support the artist.
The average price of digital downloads is 300 yen (approximately $3) per track. For physical albums, the average price ranges between 2,500 – 3,000 yen ($25 - $30). Due to these high prices, pirated downloads are becoming more frequent. The RIAJ is combating the mobile phone piracy problem by monitoring cell phone music downloads. According to Yomiuri Online, if the download is from an illegal site, the downloader will receive a text message saying, "You are killing the Japanese music industry." However, consumers feel that the prices to legally download music are unfair.
The Japanese have a cultural perspective on what is "cool" and "not cool". Because the target market is a collective society, once a fad starts, it spreads like rapid fire. The Japanese are not prejudice about where the new fad starts. This means that any new music trend is more likely to succeed in Japan than anywhere else in the world, whether it be domestic or international. Even outdated music is more likely to receive modern attention. If it's cool, it's cool. Also, because the Japanese are culturally eager to participate in the genre of music or artists that they enjoy, they can help raise artists' fanbases by up to 47%.
The target market are loyal fans that demand more music. Making it big in Japan is a big deal to both international and domestic musicians. The more artists that are able to produce in Japan, the happier the fans will be.
According to the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), in 2009 there were a total of 11,225 million domestic music sales and 7,435 million international music sales in Japan alone. It holds 22% of the global share of recorded music, second only to the USA which holds 25.4% of the global share of recorded music.
The global economy has been doing poorly in recent years, and Japan was recently hit with a massive earthquake and tsunami. Businesses all over the country were affected negatively and stocks in the Japanese markets have steadily been falling. Although the market is still large enough to introduce more new music, the point of affordability is a crucial matter at the moment.* On average, Japanese people pay 300 yen per track and between 2,500 – 3,000 yen per album. That is about $3.67 US dollars per track and $30.59 - $36.71 per album in US dollars. Before the fall in economy, consumers felt these prices were too high, and now they are definitely too high.
Again, given the circumstances in Japan, the target market's wants and needs have drastically changed. The 'need' for music is inevitable as artists across Japan use their musical influence to raise money for relief efforts. Artists such as Gackt, who founded the "SHOW YOUR HEART" charity for emergency relief funds, reach out to fans in other countries. (http://static.hangame.co.jp/hangame/extra/showyourheart/index.html) The 'want' for music is less for entertainment, but more for distraction and comfort.
Some forms of modern entertainment include television, and the constant use of internet and mobile devices. Though these may be considered competition to the music industry, music is easily integrated into each of these. Consider the music used in television dramas and game shows for instance. The most noticeable is the theme song. Beyond that is the background music to help set the mood of the scene or area. The internet has become the number one source for purchasing music, and most cellular phones come with built in mp3 players.
CDs are fast becoming greatly outdated, much as cassette tapes have become almost non-existent in the past 10 years. This is especially the case in Japan, where most music is purchased and downloaded via internet and stored on cell phones. Even so, CD presentation is important. Despite the rarity of CDs, cover art is still showcased on websites where the albums can be bought. While playing on iPods and mp3 players, if the song is a legal copy, will display the cover art on the screens.
The cover art differs greatly per genre and artist. Many pop artists in Japan use an image of themselves, posed and altered to give a fresh feeling. BoA's album titled 'OUTGROW' displays the singer with a Baywatch windblown look, surrounded by gentle sunset colors. In the Visual Kei genre, the bands theme tends to show predominantly on the CD covers. A couple fine examples come from the band Versailles –the Philharmonic Quintet- and artist Kaya. Versailles shows off their elegant, aristocratic vampire themed costumes on the cover of 'Destiny', while Kaya also shows off his theme of various female personas on the covers of 'Madame Rosa' and 'Ophelia'. Rock artists in Japan generally tend to not display themselves at all on there covers, instead opting for designs or photos that represent the feel of there album. The GazettE cover for '[DIM]' depicts a block of ice in the middle of a landscape void of anything but dark sky and bare trees.
The music industry is the most flexible and creative of the entertainment industries. It is also huge. So standing out through the use of modern technology and product displays are important. The ability for the product to stand out depends greatly on the artist/band and the style and look they want to present to their audiences.

Lights, Camera, YouTube: Studio Cashes In On An Entertainment Revolution
YouTube is synonymous with amateur videos. But in the last year, it has spent tens of millions of dollars commissioning professionals to produce for the site. Those pros aren't necessarily coming from traditional TV and film studios. Instead, they're creating a new generation of studios to make content specifically for the Internet. NPR's Laura Sydell has a profile of one of them.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: In 1954, Judy Garland as Esther Blodgett in "A Star is Born" goes to Hollywood, sings in the chorus, until one night...
SYDELL: These days, you might not need a benefactor to get discovered.
SYDELL: This is actually Lisa Donovan, who created spoofs of pop culture on YouTube, as her alter ego, Lisa Nova. She got millions of views doing videos like this one from her L.A. apartment. She answers the door dressed as a Greek warrior from the historical film "300." The FedEx guy needs her signature.
SYDELL: Donovan started making a living from ads on her videos. She received offers to appear on television shows like "Ellen." Her fiance, Dan Zappin, shot a lot of her videos.
DAN ZAPPIN: We figured there's probably dozens and hundreds and maybe thousands of other content creators like us that if they had kind of a central infrastructure for production and cross promotion, that could be a business that could scale and grow.
SYDELL: In 2009, Zappin and Donovan became co-founders of Maker Studios. Now, it's an umbrella for 600 YouTube channels, employs 260 people and covers 30,000 square feet of studio and office space in Culver City. In old time TV, if a show isn't making it after a few episodes, the network kills it. Zappin says at Maker, they help the artist figure out how to use viewer comments and likes.
ZAPPIN: Sometimes it takes a year or two before someone finally gets that right format and they blow up. I know even Ray William Johnson, whose the number one subscribed channel on YouTube, went for probably over a year or so before he really found his format, fine tuned it and then it really took off.
SYDELL: What talent get from being part of Maker is access to professional help. Zappin takes me on a tour of the studios.
ZAPPIN: Back here is the actual production space.
SYDELL: Maker just moved into a new facility made possible by an influx of venture capital and a commission from YouTube to do three channels, including one for music and one for bilingual programs. Maker can offer it's talent costumes, props, sets, editing booths, quiet studios and an animation department.
ZAPPIN: We have an animated channel that stars our talent as cartoon characters.
SYDELL: The idea of this animation studio is to help Maker talent reach new audiences. William Ray Johnson had a successful channel doing comedic reviews. But he wanted to try a new idea.
GLASGOW PHILLIPS: He wanted to make some animated music videos with a band that was in his head.
SYDELL: Glasgow Phillips runs the animation department.
PHILLIPS: Have them drop a single every couple of weeks and have an animated music video to go with it.
SYDELL: The result was a series called "Your Favorite Martian." Maker Studios animates videos of darkly humorous songs by Johnson like "Santa Hates Poor Kids."
SYDELL: This video got close to eight million views. In general, Johnson gets at least a million views for all his videos, animated or not. Though the production facilities here are not as plush as the big TV and film studios, Maker is starting to siphon off some of the talent. In fact, animation department head Glasgow Phillips used to be a staff writer for programs like "South Park" and "Father of the Pride."
PHILLIPS: I loved being a comedy writer in television. It's great. But it's also really structured. You can spend a year in a conference room with people that are very funny, but that's a long cocktail party. Here, it's, ideas in the morning, content in the evening, pass/fail. Either people watch it or they don't.
SYDELL: Maker is actually in an increasingly crowded field of companies creating content for the Internet, says Allen Weiner, an analyst with Gartner.
ALLEN WEINER: There's competition for the higher quality creators. You have a number of places as an individual video creator that you can distribute your video.
SYDELL: And the audience for these videos is only going to grow. Every new TV ships with a connection to the Internet. But Weiner says in a world with endless channels, it's going to be hard to get the attention of an audience.
WEINER: It's going to be pretty complex this new kind of TV industrial complex that will emerge where you've got the NBC, Comcast, Universals butting heads against some really talented guy who just graduated NYU Film School.
SYDELL: That kid from NYU is going to need more than talent. He's going to need money and promotion to help get an audience. The founders of Maker Studio hope their model will give that NYU student and lots of others like him the chance to be discovered as a whole new entertainment industry emerges online.

So back in the days of olden times
When life was fine and dandy
If you ever got an illness
The NHS was oh so handy
Your mum would take your temperature
And send you back to bed
Ring them up , ''Yes I'll come out''
Is what they always said
I'm not sure exactly when it changed
But it's deffo for the worse
These days you need
To beg and plead
Just to see a sodding nurse
You have to bribe receptionists
And invent all types of ills
Just to step foot in the waiting room
And get some special pills
And everything now is viral
Do they say it just to spite us?
What happened to a good old bug
Or a case of tonsillitis?
What happened to a kind old doc
Whose advice was always best
As he fussed at you and patted you
With his steth pressed to your chest
And most worryingly the bad part
As your health official has a look
At your poor tired and ailing body
Is the fact they need to use a book
To diagnose your symptoms
And check you wont react
To the bottles they are prescribing you
And that you stay intact
And they've miraculously cured you
And your health is all tip top
Think next time
I'll take a wander round
To the good old health food shop

Burdens of Persuasion in Civil Cases: Algorithms V. Explanations
62 Pages Posted: 8 Jan 2004
The conjunction paradox has fascinated generations of scholars, primarily because it brings into focus the apparent incompatibility of equally well accepted conventions. On the one hand, trials should be structured to reduce the total number, or optimize the allocation, of errors. On the other hand, burdens of persuasion are allocated to elements by the standard jury instruction rather than to a case as a whole. Because an error in finding to be true any element of the plaintiff's cause of action will result in an error if liability is found, errors on the overall case accumulate with errors on discrete issues. This, in turn, means that errors will neither be minimized nor optimized (except possibly randomly). Thus, the conventional view concerning the purpose of trial is inconsistent with the conventional view concerning the allocation of burdens of persuasion.
Two recent efforts to resolve this conflict are examined in this article. Dean Saul Levmore has argued that the paradox is eliminated or reduced considerably because of either the implications of the Condorcet Jury Theorem or the implications of super majority voting rules. Professor Alex Stein has constructed a micro-economic explanation of negligence that is also offered as resolving the paradox. Neither succeed, and both fail for analogous reasons. First, each makes a series of ad hoc adjustments to the supposedly formal arguments that are out of place in formal reasoning. The result is that neither argument is, in fact, formal; both arguments thus implicitly reject the very formalisms they are supposedly employing in their explanations. Second, both articles mismodel the system of litigation they are trying to explain in an effort to close the gap between their supposedly formal models and the reality of the legal system; and when necessary corrections are made to their respective models of litigation, neither formal argument maps onto the reality of trials, leaving the original problem untouched and unexplained. These two efforts are thus very much similar to the failed effort to give a Bayesian explanation to trials and juridical proof, which similarly failed due to the inability to align the formal requirements of subjective Bayesianism with the reality of modern trials.
We also explore the reasons for this consistent misuse of formal arguments in the evidentiary context. Rationality requires, at a minimum, sensitivity to the intellectual tools brought to a task, of which algorithmic theoretical accounts are only one of many. Another, somewhat neglected in legal scholarship, is substantive explanations of legal questions that take into account the surrounding legal landscape. As we show, although the theoretical efforts to domesticate the conjunction paradox fail, a substantive explanation of it can be given that demonstrates the small likelihood of perverse consequences flowing from it. The article thus adds to the growing literature concerning the nature of legal theorizing by demonstrating yet another area where legal theorizing in one of its modern conventional manifestations (involving the search for the algorithmic argument that purportedly explains or justifies an area of law) has been ineffectual, whereas explanations that are informed by the substantive contours of the relevant legal field have considerable promise.

Join the Odd Shelf Book Club at the Mill Creek University Book Store at 6:30 pm on Thursday, July 11th, to discuss "The Feather Thief" by Kirk Johnson.
"The Feather Thief" is gripping true story of a bizarre, shocking crime and mans destructive instinct to harvest the beauty of nature.
On a cool June evening in 2009, Edwin Rist boarded a train for a suburban outpost of the British Museum of Natural History. The Tring museum was full of rare bird specimens whose gorgeous feathers were worth staggering amounts of money to the men who shared Edwins obsession: the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying.
Once inside, the champion fly-tier grabbed hundreds of bird skins—some collected 150 years earlier by a contemporary of Darwins who had risked everything to gather them—and escaped into the darkness.
Two years later, Kirk Johnson was waist high in a river in northern New Mexico when his fly-fishing guide told him about the heist. He was soon consumed by the feather thief—what would possess a person to steal dead birds? Had Edwin paid the price for his crime? What became of the missing skins?

After paying $50,000 for four years, why should seniors give back to the Senior Class Gift? That's the underlying question that makes my job challenging, but one that motivates me to help seniors see the value in their gifts.
Surely everyone has had a unique GW experience. Even with ups and downs, there was something that kept us all here for four years. Whether it was your student org, scholarship, fellowship, internship, Greek organization or an academic experience, those opportunities were made possible by a number of members of the GW community. These people are fellow students, parents, faculty, alumni and friends of GW who felt compelled to give back and make our experiences possible. The Senior Class Gift Campaign is our first opportunity to become part of that community.
Members of the Luther Rice Society have graciously agreed to match senior gifts and provide a collective gift in the name of the Class of 2011. The matched funds will be designated to the Ron Howard Emergency Scholarship Fund, which provides funds for students who have financial needs that are not met by traditional financial aid. The fund may provide relief for students who can't afford to fly home for a family emergency or who can't afford books for a semester. Many of us have a friend or know someone who has been in a similar situation, and your gift to the Senior Class Gift Campaign will directly benefit our friends and fellow GW students.
I chose to give back two years in a row to the GW Power & Promise Fund, the main scholarship fund at the University. As a recipient of two alumni scholarships, I am grateful to those donors who have made it possible for me to pursue my goals in the nation's capital. Last year, the average senior gave less than $50, but together, they raised over $42,000.
By giving a gift over $75, I became a member of the Luther Rice Society. My membership in this society has allowed me to jump start my job search by giving me the opportunity to network with influential alumni in my field and attend many great events across the city.?For the first time this year, you can even break up your $75 gift over a number of months to make your membership in this society more manageable. ?
At whatever level or for whatever reason, please join me and our fellow classmates by giving back this holiday season.?With your support, we can definitely reach our record-breaking goal of bringing in 1,100 senior gifts this year.?Make your gift online or at our upcoming senior night, Dec. 9 from 9 to 11 p.m. at Sign of the Whale.
The writer, a senior majoring in political communication, is the 2011 Senior Class Gift Coordinator.

The GTPase elongation factor G (EF-G) is an important player in the complex process of protein synthesis by bacterial ribosomes. Although extensively studied much remains to be learned about this fascinating protein. In the elongation phase, after incorporation of each amino acid into the growing peptide chain, EF-G translocates the ribosome along the mRNA template. In the recycling phase, when the synthesis of a protein has been completed, EF-G, together with ribosome recycling factor (RRF), splits the ribosome into its subunits. We developed the first in vitro assay for measuring the average time of a complete translocation step at any position along the mRNA. Inside the open reading frame, at saturating EF-G concentration and low magnesium ion concentration, translocation rates were fast and compatible with elongation rates observed in vivo. We also determined the complete kinetic mechanism for EF-G- and RRF-dependent splitting of the post-termination ribosome. We showed that splitting occurs only when RRF binds before EF-G and that the rate and GTP consumption of the reaction varies greatly with the factor concentrations.
The antibiotic fusidic acid (FA) inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to EF-G when the factor is ribosome bound, during translocation and ribosome recycling. We developed experimental methods and a theoretical framework for analyzing the effect of tight-binding inhibitors like FA on protein synthesis. We found that FA targets three different states during each elongation cycle and that it binds to EF-G on the post-termination ribosome both in the presence and absence of RRF. The stalling time of an FA-inhibited ribosome is about hundred-fold longer than the time of an uninhibited elongation cycle and therefore each binding event has a large impact on the protein synthesis rate and may induce queuing of ribosomes on the mRNA. Although ribosomes in the elongation and the recycling phases are targeted with similar efficiency, we showed that the main effect of FA in vivo is on elongation. Our results may serve as a basis for modelling of EF-G function and FA inhibition inside the living cell and for structure determination of mechanistically important intermediate states in translocation and ribosome recycling.
Studying the kinetics of translocation of mRNA and tRNAs on the translating ribosome is technically difficult since the rate-limiting steps involve large conformational changes without covalent bond formation or disruption. Here, we have developed a unique assay system for precise estimation of the full translocation cycle time at any position in any type of open reading frame (ORF). Using a buffer system optimized for high accuracy of tRNA selection together with high concentration of elongation factor G, we obtained in vivo compatible translocation rates. We found that translocation was comparatively slow early in the ORF and faster further downstream of the initiation codon. The maximal translocation rate decreased from the in vivo compatible value of 30 s(-1) at 1 mM free Mg2+ concentration to the detrimentally low value of 1 s(-1) at 6 mM free Mg2+ concentration. Thus, high and in vivo compatible accuracy of codon translation, as well as high and in vivo compatible translocation rate, required a remarkably low Mg2+ concentration. Finally, we found that the rate of translocation deep inside an ORF was not significantly affected upon variation of the standard free energy of interaction between a 6-nt upstream Shine-Dalgarno (SD)-like sequence and the anti-SD sequence of 16S rRNA in a range of 0-6 kcal/mol. Based on these experiments, we discuss the optimal choice of Mg2+ concentration for maximal fitness of the living cell by taking its effects on the accuracy of translation, the peptide bond formation rate and the translocation rate into account.

The antibiotic fusidic acid (FA) targets elongation factor G (EF-G) and inhibits ribosomal peptide elongation and ribosome recycling, but deeper mechanistic aspects of FA action have remained unknown. Using quench flow and stopped flow experiments in a biochemical system for protein synthesis and taking advantage of separate time scales for inhibited (10 s) and uninhibited (100 ms) elongation cycles, a detailed kinetic model of FA action was obtained. FA targets EF-G at an early stage in the translocation process (I), which proceeds unhindered by the presence of the drug to a later stage (II), where the ribosome stalls. Stalling may also occur at a third stage of translocation(III), just before release of EF-G from the post-translocation ribosome. We show that FA is a strong elongation inhibitor (K-50% approximate to 1 mu M), discuss the identity of the FA targeted states, and place existing cryo-EM and crystal structures in their functional context.
How EF-G and RRF act together to split a post-termination ribosomal complex into its subunits has remained obscure. Here, using stopped-flow experiments with Rayleigh light scattering detection and quench-flow experiments with radio-detection of GTP hydrolysis, we have clarified the kinetic mechanism of ribosome recycling and obtained precise estimates of its kinetic parameters. Ribosome splitting requires that EF-G binds to an already RRF-containing ribosome. EF-G binding to RRF-free ribosomes induces futile rounds of GTP hydrolysis and inhibits ribosome splitting, implying that while RRF is purely an activator of recycling, EF-G acts as both activator and competitive inhibitor of RRF in recycling of the post-termination ribosome. The ribosome splitting rate and the number of GTPs consumed per splitting event depend strongly on the free concentrations of EF-G and RRF. The maximal recycling rate, here estimated as 25 sec(-1), is approached at very high concentrations of EF-G and RRF with RRF in high excess over EF-G. The present in vitro results, suggesting an in vivo ribosome recycling rate of 5 sec(-1), are discussed in the perspective of rapidly growing bacterial cells.

The occupants of this White Toyota SUV were lucky to get out unhurt after their car hit a truck and tumbled several times in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The prompt response of good samaritans including Korede Bello's manager, Casper and another bystander identified as Godwin who helped flip the car over to rescue the victims, saved them.
The accident survivor were thereafter treated on the spot by Lagos State emergency response team before they were taken to a hospital in Lagos Island.

(AllHipHop News) Rich Homie, real name Dequantes Devontay Lamar, filed a lawsuit against label bosses Think It's A Game Records in 2015, alleging they owed him $2 million in unpaid royalties.
Company executives counter-sued the 27-year-old, claiming the "Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)" star failed to report money earned from unauthorized music released while still under contract to the label.
"First and foremost I would like to thank God for this amazing opportunity," a statement from the rapper reads. "I'm excited to be a part of a building that has such great history in music. I look forward to this new chapter in my life and giving my fans the best I have to offer."

Ford has stated that she will donate the remaining money to charities that help victims of trauma. The specific charities have yet to be named.
Christine Blasey Ford published a statement last Wednesday thanking everyone who had supported her after she came forward and accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her back in the 1980s.
Ford's statement was posted on a GoFundMe page dedicated to raising money for her. The page, which stopped accepting donations recently, raised $647,610, which is over four times the initial goal of $150,000. Nearly 14,000 people donated to her.
"Your tremendous outpouring of support and kind letters have made it possible for us to cope with the immeasurable stress, particularly the disruption to our safety and privacy," Blasey Ford wrote, which was first reported by CBS News. "Because of your support, I feel hopeful that our lives will return to normal."
"Your donations have allowed us to take reasonable steps to protect ourselves against frightening threats, including physical protection and security for me and my family, and to enhance the security for our home," Blasey Ford added. "We used your generous contributions to pay for a security service, which began on September 19 and has recently begun to taper off; a home security system; housing and security costs incurred in Washington DC, and local housing for part of the time we have been displaced. Part of the time we have been able to stay with our security team in a residence generously loaned to us."

FEROZEPUR: Sukhjinder Singh Radhawa, Minister for Jails and co-operative societies exhorted the voters of Punjab not to vote for an "addicted" candidate during the upcoming Panchayat polls. Talking about "Drug Free Punjab", Randhawa said that "Drug Free Punjab" can be imagined only if the villages of our Punjab are "Drug Free". He said that the congress party will support to only those candidates who will clear their dope test before the elections.
Randhawa was here in this border town to attend a district level programme organized by district administration under mission "Nasha Mukt Tandrust Punjab". He was accompanied by Parminder Singh Pinki, Congress MLA from Ferozepur (Urban), Kulbir Singh Zira, Congress MLA from Zira, Satkar Kaur Gehri, Congress MLA from Ferozepur (Rural) and other senior leaders from Congress.
Randhawa claimed that the state government is putting all the efforts to eradicate the drug menace from the state. He said that without the support of the people of Punjab it is very difficult to free Punjab from the deadly clutches of drugs. "Be it a politician or any other influential person or whosoever is involved in drug trade, people should inform the police about these elements", said Randhawa.
Talking about some other burning issues including sand mining, education of children in border area, Randhawa said that nobody is above law and strict action will be taken against those who are involved in illegal sand mining. Randhawa said that the state government is determined to provide all the facilities to border area students so that they could also rise in life. He also urged the people to get their wards admitted in government schools so that the standards of education in government schools could be raised.
The cabinet minister also paid an abrupt visit to a local private de-addiction centre where he issued instructions to the health department regarding dope test of the doctors and staff working in this hospital and use of banned medicines in the hospital.
On this occasion Sumer Singh Gurjar Commissioner Ferozepur, Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal, Deputy Commissioner, Gurmit Singh Multani ADC (G) Ferozepur, Ravinder Pal Singh Sandhu, ADC (D), Narinder Singh SDM Ferozepur, Amit Gupta, SDM Zira, Ranjit Singh Assistant Commissioner, Jasmel Singh Ladi Gehri, Gurnaib Brar and other congress workers were present.
