Usher Teams Up With Migos on 'Still Got It'
Before Usher ushers in the New Year (see what we did there?), he released a new track called 'Still Got It' featuring Atlanta rap trio Migos.
Before Usher ushers in the New Year (see what we did there?), he released a new track called 'Still Got It' featuring Atlanta rap trio Migos.
After releasing several well-received albums and becoming huge figures in music, Kanye West and Usher will both receive the Visionary Award at the 2015 BET Honors, which will be taped on Jan. 24, 2015.
Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Raymond have a sex tape floating around.
How do you top having the No. 1 urban song in the country? You drop a hot remix of course. DJ Khaled taps chart-topping artists Usher, Rick Ross, Fabolous and Ace Hood for the remix to 'Hold You Down.'
Kid Ink celebrates the female form in the Darren Craig-directed video for 'Body Language' featuring Usher and Tinashe.
It good to be the king, just ask Usher. The R&B singer wears a bejeweled crown on the cover of the latest issue of Billboard. Inside the mag, the veteran crooner talks about a myriad of things including his protege Justin Bieber, his new girlfriend and the Atlanta music scene.
In this week's The Boombox Battle, songs from Chris Brown and Usher compete for the win.
Usher gives props to the ladies who work the pole on his Juicy J-assisted latest track, 'I Don't Mind.'
Usher closed out the iHeartRadio Festival with an exciting 20-minute set in Las Vegas on Friday (Sept. 19). The R&B crooner also surprised audiences by bringing out his good friend and 'New Flame' co-star Chris Brown.
Usher is in no rush to release his new album 'UR.' The veteran singer gives details on the project and a collaboration he has with Chris Brown.

Completly agree with JohnHamptonshire below, I never quite liked the original meme but damn didn't I love this. The cantina scene were my favourite, got a little Monkey Island feel out of it. Good to see that you took the time to not only just make one or two different version of it but all these.
Genious spin on an otherwise terribly lame meme that wasn't funny in the first place. But seriously, you already had me at "about as old as Betty White in internet years".
aaaaaaaaaand here comes a new favourite
not bad, the flashing lights gave me a migraine though lol
WOW!! VERY Good!

"A Masterpiece!"
This book is truly a work of art--irresistably inspirational. I laughed and cried throughout. Its content resonated with me in so many aspects of my day-to-day living. It is chock with a multitude of tools, guidance, insight, and wisdom as a means to be empowered to strive towards living as an "undependent." My perspective is forever changed. Thank you, Ms. Beattie, for contributing to my evolution of consciousness in this many-splendored journey called life.
"Great Self help book!"
Loved it! Narrator made the tone of the book real. If you have ever lived with someone alcohol or chemical dependent this is a great book to help you start living and loving yourself again.
"Start caring for yourself!"
Helped me to identify characteristics and have the courage to keep and hold boundaries! Helped me to understand more of what I was going through and how to start seeing differently!
"So helpful!"
This book has really opened my eyes to a lot of the unhealthy habits I've had my whole life. I've worried WAY too much about what others think and have completely catered to that. I also tend to focus on people's problems and how I can help fix them.
This book, along with 7 or so meetings with a counselor, as really set me free. I'm on the road to a healthy balanced life!
Highly recommended.
"A must read!"
This is the first of four books written my Melody Beattie on codependency. I have read and studied them multiple times because each time I listen to any of her books, just the right thing becomes revealed to me just when it is of great relevancy to live a happier, healthier, more productive life.
"I love this book"
I recommend this book to all people who are on the other side of the mirror of narcissist, psychos, borderlines, addicts. Anyone who has to recover for losing himself in favor of another.
This book shines the light on codependency and resources and steps to take to heal yourself and learn to recognize your needs.
"Life changing"
This book opened my eyes to things I didn't realize or ever believe about codependency. Truly a life changing book and now one of my favorites.
"So much help"
I've needed these words for a long, long time. I can't write in this box how important and appreciated this book is. Thank you so very much.
"Huge help!"
I can't thank Melody Beattie enough. After years of suffering but never knowing what was wrong with me, I finally have an insight. Thank you for the advice. As well as the fire I needed to get going and get right with myself and God.

Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

Product Description
From the Publisher

And for things read not just delegated tasks but tasks that are already part of your team members job description or even tasks youre managing yourself. Unlike other delegation books, because the process in this book doesn't depend on you exercising your managerial authority, its also excellent for getting things done by your peers in, say, a cross-functional project team that youre leading.

I embarked on the book over the weekend, and finding it indeed quite readable, I was half way through when I realised that to make the most of this book I needed to take it more slowly and reflect on the way in which the author's experience struck a chord with my own – which it often did. Chapter Eight of the book points out the need for 'learning reviews' with your people, and each chapter gives you the opportunity to do your own learning review with the 'In Short' summary at the end. By doing this, I felt I got the most out of the book, and also gave myself the chance to try out some of the ideas.
The most important lesson I learned from this book was to delegate the management of the task, not just the task itself. I realised that people were waiting for me to manage the task for them, and this led to frustration all round. I had often been 'doing it right, but getting it wrong' [Chapter Nine].
This book does not provide easy solutions – I believe there are none – but it does provide a very accessible approach to improving your performance in the key management task of delegation. Definitely worth a go!
This first half of the book I very much enjoyed. The second half of the book is about structuring the delegation process and is fairly standard stuff which, although well written, I felt dragged a bit.
This is a well written book that can be easily read in a few hours. It has nice short chapters so you can take five or ten minutes out of your busy schedule and still cover some important points. My only criticism of the book is that it is solely about manager - subordinate delegation (where there is a formal line of authority). In this modern world we are frequently working in areas where we have no formal authority over the person we need to involve in a task - for example in a cross-departmental team or a voluntary group. While much of Ms Smart's core message still applies, some additional material on trying to involve people who can say "no" with no real comeback would have been really valuable.Read more ›

"If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. You will in due season have great impatience of the public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of the public expenditure. You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. You will in due season find your property is less valueable, and your freedom less complete." ~ Benjamin Disraeli

It's especially important to do this in public places, where freak murderers like that guy in Aurora, Colorado, lurk. The weapons should be loaded and dangerous, capable of killing with one shot."

Murugappa group plans Rs 450 crore capex
Chennai: Industrial conglomerate USD 4.17 billion Murugappa group, while consolidating its acquisitions of last year, will invest around Rs.450 crore to complete on-going expansion plans, a top group official said.
The group plans expansion of 20 percent.
"This year, our focus will be on consolidating gains from acquisitions and completion of on-going expansion plans. The capital expenditure planned by the group this year is around Rs.450 crore," A. Vellayan, executive chairman of the Murugappa Corporate Board told reporters Friday.
Citing the predictions of a normal monsoon this year, Vellayan said the various group companies would be on the growth path.
"We are seeing marked change in the agricultural sector. With the prediction of normal monsoon, the signs are positive for our fertiliser, sugar and agricultural business lines," Vellayan added.
According to Vellayan, the group is hopeful of logging 20 percent growth this fiscal owing to positive points like decontrol of sugar, contributions from acquisitions and the growth in financial services.
"We expect the financial services business (non-banking finance company and general insurance) to log around 40 percent growth this year," Vellayan said.
Last year the Murugappa group entities invested around Rs.850 crore on stake acquisitions in companies like Shanthi Gears Ltd, Liberty Phosphate Ltd, Liberty Urvarak Limited, Thukela Refractries, Isithebe and Andhra Pradesh Gas Power Corporation.
The group also consolidated its stake in Financiere C10, S.A.S. (Sedis), France, bought out joint venture partner Cargill's stake in sugar refinery Silk Road Sugar Pvt Ltd and sugar major EID Parry completed the merger of two plants of the subsidiary Parrys Sugar Industries Ltd with itself.
The Murugappa group outfits also initiated/incurred capital expenditure last fiscal totaling Rs.900 crore.
"Our total capital expenditure last year was Rs.1,750 crore," said N.Srinivasan, director-finance.
According to him the sugar refinery at Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh will start operations next year and marketing teams have been put in place.
After being in operation for a brief period, the sugar refinery stopped for want of gas for its power plant.
Srinivasan said the power plant will now be powered by coal and there will not be any surplus power to sell.
"The original cost of the sugar refinery was Rs.320 crore and it now gone up by another Rs.150 crore," Srinivasan said.
He said the group's overseas investment arm based in Cyprus is not affected by the problem faced by the banking sector there.

A wave of political ads is adding heat to Minnesota's sultry summer television viewing.
The candidates and their friends have spent at least $3 million to air their messages across the state, and groups are reserving even more time for later in the year.
On Monday, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike McFadden said he would broadcast an ad called "Stitches," in which he and his son brag that McFadden took his son's sutures out himself rather than paying medical professions to do it. The ad, which had a limited cable run earlier this year, comes on the heels of a spot in which McFadden was hit below the belt by a kid he was coaching in football.
Meanwhile, Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken has ponied up more than $1.5 million to spread a message that he cares more about regular Minnesotans than partisan Washington fights.
While that premier race has yet to attract much outside cash, races lower on the ballot are attracting notice.
Supporters of Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson have banded together to produce an ad on behalf of the endorsee. Group volunteer Chris Tiedeman, a Republican National Committee member, told politics.mn the ad would air on television in the coming weeks.
Johnson's campaign said Monday it will start airing ads on cable before the Aug. 12 primary. Like McFadden's "Stitches" ad, the Johnson ad has been online for months, and, like the McFadden ad, it takes a lighthearted approach to a serious issue.
Republican Rep. Kurt Zellers, who will vie against Johnson, former Rep. Marty Seifert and businessman Scott Honour, launched his ads last week. Honour consultant Pat Shortridge said Honour has spent almost $100,000 on cable ad time and another $42,000 on radio ads. A group largely funded by Honour's former employer, the Gores Group, has also spent more than $200,000 to support Honour.Meanwhile, the man the Republicans hope to unseat, DFL Gov. Mark Dayton, has yet to storm the airwaves — but his friends have started the assault.
The Democratic Alliance for a Better Minnesota put significant cash behind a pro-Dayton ad that began airing recently. The Alliance, which invested considerable cash back in 2010 to bash Dayton's Republican opponent, used the ad to make a pitch for the idea that Minnesota is better off now than it was four years ago before Dayton was elected.
Television viewers this year have seen ads trashing Dayton. Early in July, the conservative Freedom Club began airing an anti-Dayton ad on broadcast television.

Johnson, House DFL release cash figures ahead of deadline
Political campaigns are starting to release their latest fundraising figures ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
The Minnesota House Democratic caucus said it would post big numbers in its report Tuesday. According to the caucus, it has raised $1.5 million this year — $780,000 just since June 1 — and has more than $1.5 million cash on hand.
In a release, the caucus said it had raised more than the DFL caucus did in all of 2010, the last midterm election and the year Democrats lost control of the House.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson on Monday reported raising $170,000 since winning party endorsement at the end of May. He had $123,000 cash on hand.
Johnson, whose fundraising had lagged compared with his spending earlier this year, faces a competitive four-way primary in August against Rep. Kurt Zellers, businessman Scott Honour and former Rep. Marty Seifert.
Johnson, a Hennepin County commissioner, had said in June that he expected the campaign would need to raise $1 million before the primary. His fundraising haul indicates he may fall well short of his goal.
Honour is on track to meet or exceed the $1 million mark, largely because he has poured more than $900,000 of his own money into his campaign and also raised significant cash from donors.
Monday was the deadline for Minnesota candidates to file their campaign fundraising hauls. Those figures will be released Tuesday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Poll: does chart action affect purchase decisions?
Our poll this week asks whether airplay or sales chart reporting has an impact on your music purchases.
Here at Bluegrass Today, we publish both a weekly and a monthly chart that measures how often new bluegrass songs get played on the radio. Other publications, like Billboard, publish charts based on sales reported to Soundscan, and still others measure how popular new songs are with radio programmers.
How about your personal buying habits – does chart action affect your decision-making?
As always, your additional comments are welcome.

Finding MP3 tracks in iTunes
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: For a while now I have been trying to figure out how to locate all of the MP3 formatted songs in my iTunes library and convert them to AAC. This becomes increasingly difficult when your iTunes is over 50 GB and the only way I have is to use the search feature in Finder to see a list then go back into iTunes and search again then convert. This takes forever as you might imagine. Is there a better way to do this?
- Kyle
A: There are definitely much easier ways to do this; you can create a Smart Playlist to gather all of your MP3 files in one place and then view and convert them from there or simply display the "Kind" column in your main iTunes library by going to your View Options and then sort by that column to group all of your MP3 tracks together.
Ideally, if you have a lot of tracks you're planning to convert, a Smart Playlist is the easiest option. A Smart Playlist is basically a saved search of your iTunes library that will always display tracks based on selected criteria. You can therefore easily tell it to only include MP3 tracks and it will remain updated to only display those tracks in your library that are in MP3 format.
To create a new Smart Playlist, simply choose New Smart Playlist from the File menu in iTunes, and a dialog box will appear asking you to specify the criteria for your Smart Playlist. Set "Kind" to "MPEG Audio" and the Smart Playlist will only include your MP3 files.
You can also specify additional criteria if you want to narrow the list down further, such as ensuring you include only Music tracks, or filtering your list to a certain bit rate only.
There are a couple of things to keep in mind about converting your tracks to AAC. Firstly, be aware that iTunes makes a copy of any converted tracks rather than overwriting the original track. This means that the MP3 file will still remain in your Smart Playlist and a new, duplicate track will be created in AAC format. You'll have to manually delete each MP3 track yourself once you're satisfied with the conversion; you can do this directly from a Smart Playlist by holding down the SHIFT key (Windows) or OPT key (Mac) while hitting the delete button.
More importantly, however, you may want to consider the issue of quality loss from converting between lossy formats. Converting an MP3 file to AAC will result in a quality loss, as you're effectively getting the combination of two different lossy encoders. This may not be a huge issue if you're dealing with high-quality source MP3 files (ie, 256kbps or higher) and going to a lower bit-rate AAC format, but there will still be a quality loss. You will always be far better off to re-rip the tracks as AAC from their original source CDs if you have them, and as an added advantage, iTunes can actually replace reimported tracks for you, saving you the trouble of having to cleanup duplicate tracks. In this case, the MP3 Smart Playlist can still be a useful way of identifying those tracks that you want to re-rip from CD, and the tracks will actually be removed from the Smart Playlist as you re-rip them in AAC format.

Buju Banton
When Mark Myrie, a.k.a. Buju Banton, was growing up in a slum outside Kingston, Jamaica, he had to endure some awful conditions. He was the youngest of 15 children, all of whom had been squeezed into a one-room apartment with no running water. It was harsh third-world living. Fortunately, Banton had his creativity for an outlet, and a love for the native sounds of his motherland.
Like Dominican baseball players seeking a direct flight to the major leagues, Banton was able to parlay his talents into a one-way ticket out of the slums and become one of Jamaica's most popular acts. Which is a good thing, since, unlike Dominican ball players, Jamaicans have only music to jettison them out of the ghetto.
Early in his career, Banton had a difficult time finding his identity. He cluttered his unrefined brand of dancehall with sometimes harsh and repulsive lyrics. Though the lyrics described simple tales that stemmed from his experiences as a young Jamaican, his music was not overtly accepted by the masses. It was far too underground.
His music changed after he converted to the Rastafarian faith. The messages in his songs became sincere, even positive. Mainstream audiences welcomed him. And still do.

U.S. business spending grows by 14% in April-June
July 30, 2014 - 17:49 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 4% during the April to June period, latest figures released by the U.S. Department of Commerce have shown, according to BBC News.
Consumer spending - which makes up over two-thirds of U.S. economy activity - grew by a robust 2.5%. Business spending increased by 14% in the world's largest economy, as businesses restocked inventories.
The growth during the second quarter reverses the contraction seen earlier in the year.
From January to March, the U.S. economy shrank a revised 2.1% on an annualized basis as a result of harsh winter weather. However even with the rebound, the winter is likely to mean overall growth this year will be only 1.6% - less than in 2013. That could cause the Federal Reserve - which ends a two-day meeting on Wednesday, July 30 - to continue to keep interest rates low for an extended period into 2015, the BBC says.
Overall, however, the report was strong enough to ensure that the U.S. central bank will continue to trim its monthly bond buying purchases.
The U.S. central bank is expected to announce that it will cut its bond-buying to $25bn a month from $35bn later on Wednesday. It has been buying bonds in an effort to keep long-term interest rates low and thus encourage spending, rather than saving, by businesses and consumers.
However, some have worried that keeping rates so low could spur inflation.
The Commerce Department figures showed that inflation, as measured by a component of the overall GDP report, increased by 1.9% - which is within the Fed's target, but an increase from the 1.4% annualized figure reported during the January to March period.
Marc Chandler, global head of currency at investment firm Brown Brothers Harriman, wrote in a note to clients that overall, the U.S. economic growth data was "strong".
However, he pointed out that as a result of revisions to economic data going back to 1999, "it now appears the U.S. economy grew more slowly than previously known over the past three years".
The U.S. recovery from the depths of the 2009 recession remains the weakest since World War II.

SOCAR to break ground for new platform in Caspian Sea
28 February 2014 [13:38] -
The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) is to design a new fixed offshore platform for the Darwin Bank field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea, SOCAR said on Feb. 27.
Operations are being conducted by SOCAR's design institute. The new platform is designed for drilling 10 wells and will be placed at a depth of 9-9.5 metres, according to the report.
The daily debit of each well will hit 50 tons of oil. A new platform consisting of eight units, will be equipped with the most modern drilling equipment, according to the forecasts.
Earlier, SOCAR prepared a programme to stabilise and increase the production volumes in the fields developed by the company for 2013-2015.
SOCAR produced more than 8.31 million tons of oil in 2013 from onshore and offshore fields in the country compared to 8.24 million tons in 2012.
Some 43.48 million tons of oil was produced in Azerbaijan in 2013 compared to 43 million tons in 2012, SOCAR said.

What made this excursion a 5 star rating was the driver/guide. Duffy was outstanding!!
July 2016
This tour was amazing!
October 2015
Mahri was excellent as the driver and tour guide. Lots of interesting facts shared. We enjoyed thoroughly.
August 2015
Heather was a fantastic guide, full of historical knowledge combined with humor and timing. Very pleasurable trip through the highlands. Highly recommended!
June 2015
It was a lovely day in the Highlands. Our tour guide Joe was fun and knowledgeable and made every effort to ensure we all had the best time possible.
June 2015
Very well organized, very professional guide. Should not miss.
May 2015
Great tour. Our guide Heather was very enthusiastic about the history of Scotland and very knowledgeable. As a history major, I had gotten some of the general history about Scotland, but she was able go to into much greater depth than I got in Western Civ 241. And of course, there is the whisky. Great tour, highly recommended for those that want to go off the beaten path and see some of the countryside.
October 2014
It was a fantastic tour. I was made especially great because of our great informative tour/ bus driver. She was great and an asset. We enjoyed every aspect of it.
August 2014
Very well done tour
June 2016
The bus tour was quite good. Our guide, Kirsty, was lovely and very knowledgeable. She shared a lot of interesting stories about Scottish history.
The brewery tour itself was quite good. The only disappointing part of the tour was the lunch at the brewery. For some reason we were only able to eat in the cafe part of the brewery not restaurant where the food is all pre made and consists virtually of just a few selections of cold sandwiches, haggis and some soup. The sandwiches were very average. This has NOTHING to do with the bus tour itself, but is instead just feedback on the brewery itself.
All in all it was quite a pleasurable day.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 185 reviews
Hotel is excellent except reception is slow and inefficient otherwise is excellent: 1)check-in slow (cannot allocate rooms as per earlier special request upon booking...needed to wait and hassle close to half an hour to check in) 2)check-out also slow and troublesome (Hotel reception staff admitted mistake that breakfast wrongly charged to my room by another guest)and waited for this to be resolved for more than half an hour. Reception needs to be man by more experience and efficient staff.
