Throughout its short history, the Beats brand has always been divisive: its headphones are as often derided for their exaggerated bass and gaudy looks as they are lauded by celebrity endorsers. LeBron James, Cesc Fàbregas, and Neymar Jr. are just some of the sports stars to have associated their names with Beats products, and artists like Will.i.Am, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj have also added to its fame.
Through Beats tumultuous and colourful history one thing has remained; it has always, always come out on top.
Formally established in 2006, Beats is the brain child of the eponymous American record producer and rapper, Andre Young, aka Dr. Dre and the co-founder of Interscope Records, Jimmy Iovine.
Iovine, who was already friends with Dr. Dre, bumped into him by chance and the idea for Beats began.
"I was walking down the beach one day and I ran into Andre Young, Dr. Dre. I was exercising, and I said 'How're you doing?' And Dre is very soft-spoken, doesn't talk much, he just said to me, 'Yo, my lawyer, he wants me to sell sneakers, what do you think?'"
"I said, 'Dre, nobody in the world cares about how you dress or will care about your sneakers, what you should sell is speakers.' At that moment, he said to me, 'We can do that?' And I said, 'F--- yeah.'"
And that's how Beats was born.
On the philosophy behind Beats, Dr Dre once said:
"People aren't hearing all the music. Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can't really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn't move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do."
Iovine sought the opinions of musicians such asM.I.A.,Pharrell Williams,will.i.am, andGwen Stefani during the early developmental stage.
Manufactured by Monster Inc, a company that already had a reputation for "premium" products, Beats launched the first ever Beats Studio exclusively sold by Best Buy and Apple in its retail and online stores.
Beats by Dre and Monster teamed up with pop music and fashion icon Lady Gaga to create the Heart Beats. Lady Gaga led the way in associating her brand image with that of Beats — with luxury brands like Ferrari and DJs like Calvin Harris following suit.
Beats made its first foray into embedding its technology in other devices with the limited edition Envy 15. The use of Beats Audio in HP laptops and tablets has since become widespread. This partnership has helped enhance the stature of both brands.
Beats announced its partnership to implement Beats Audio in the Chrysler's automobiles. According to Beats: "Your car is more than just a way to get from A to B. It's one of the few places where music matters the most. With BeatsAudio you can immerse yourself in your favorite songs and hear them in ways you never have before."
Today, Beats Audio can also be found in Fiat and Dodge cars.
Mobile manufacturer HTC bought a majority 50.1 percent share in Beats Electronics for $300 million. HTC followed that up by releasing Beats Audio-powered smartphones with the HTC Sensation XE.
Beats Parts Ways With Monster
Beats ended its exclusive partnership with Monster and began manufacturing its products in-house.
Guerilla Marketing at the Olympics
Beats enacts a successful ambush marketing campaign during the 2012 London Olympics, when they shipped boxes of specially decorated headphones to the hotels where Team Britain athletes were staying. Beats had done something similar with LeBron James and the US basketball team in the 2008 Olympics earlier. Both campaigns were hugely successful, with entire sports teams sporting the immediately recognizable Beats logos on their heads.
Almost exactly two years after the XE's launch, Beats bought back HTC's share of the company for around $410 million. Beats began valuing itself as a billion dollar company for the first time shortly after the buy big.
Launches Beats Music
Beats Electronics enters the music streaming business to challenge the likes of Spotify, Pandora, and Apple's iTunes Radio with the highly ambitious, subscription-based service. Beats Music emphasizes recommendations by music professionals alongside algorithmic recommendations.
Apple Acquires Beats for $3.4 Billion
Beats was acquired by Apple in 2014 in a 3.2 Billion dollar, the largest in Apple's history. Apple CEO Tim Cook commented on the acquisition by saying: "Music is such an important part of all of our lives and holds a special place within our hearts at Apple. That's why we have kept investing in music and are bringing together these extraordinary teams so we can continue to create the most innovative music products and services in the world."
Both Apple and Beats By D. Dre have been working to fulfill that promise ever since.
Apple's got plenty of cash to burn, and every incentive to ward off the "square" label that's been attached to companies like Microsoft and Blackberry. Still, not everyone's sold on the deal. Critics have complained that brightly coloured Beats headphones clash with Apple's clean, understated design philosophy. And really, couldn't Apple, with the past success of iTunes, have developed a streaming service on its own? Why spend $3 billion?
Hint: It is something to do with the celebrities.
Before the purchase was final, analysts speculated that Apple was more interested in streaming music than headphones.
"Music is dying in the way that we've known it," Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet software, told a crowd at Code Conference. "It hasn't been growing in the way that we all want it to."
Meanwhile, streaming is on the rise. Last year, digital track sales fell by 6 percent, while streaming music consumption skyrocketed by 32 percent, according to a report from venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
The biggest player in the subscription streaming game is SpotifyOf course, if Apple wanted to build its own Spotify competitor, it probably could. In fact, Apple CEO Tim Cook told Re/Code that the company "could build about anything that you could dream of," adding that acquiring Beats would give them a "head start" and add "kindred spirits" to company. To outsiders, however, $3 billion seems like a lot to spend for a couple cool dudes and a fraction of Spotify's subscriber numbers.
Apple has three times as much cash on-hand as the U.S. Treasury. Its lead designer, Jonathan Ive, was knighted at Buckingham Palace.
I think what Beats will bring is not just the Dr. Dre endorsement, but the discipline to develop a portfolio of celebrity endorsements as well as streaming business.

The question
I moved into a new condo three weeks ago. I haven't met the couple next door, but every single night at 4 a.m., it becomes very clear that our headboards share the same wall. It goes on for about an hour and is literally impossible to sleep through it. It wakes up my dog, who thinks it's an intruder and starts barking like crazy. My mother house-sat for me recently and met my neighbours in the hall. She says they're very affectionate. Do I say something? I'm not asking them to stop the love fest, but perhaps they could rearrange their furniture?
The answer
First, know that it could be worse.
A couple of years ago, a 48-year-old British woman named Caroline Cartwright was served with a noise abatement notice after neighbours, passers-by, and even (a detail I love) the postman complained about her "loud shouting and screaming" during her lovemaking sessions with her husband, Steve.
Neighbours described her sustained shrieking as "unnatural." They said it sounded like someone was being murdered, and it drowned out the sound of their televisions. Moreover, the sessions took place every night, and lasted between two and three hours.
Ms. Cartwright appealed the case, claiming her ululations of erotic transport were "involuntary," and that she had switched from night to day (which is obviously when the postman heard her) in order to disturb the peace less. She averred that her human rights to a private life and so forth were being violated by the neighbours (and, presumably, the postman).
The judge didn't agree. He said he was satisfied the noise constituted a "statutory nuisance," and handed down a stiff, um, fine.
Now, in a case like that, and in yours, one can't help but feel empathetic, even a little impressed, by all the erotic vim, brio, and sprezzatura on such metronomic display.
(Hubby Steve reportedly spent the whole time in court in a shame-spiral, head in hands. But it's hard to imagine his mortification wasn't silver-lined with just a soupçon of satisfaction at his wife's high-decibel reviews of his mojo-rific swordsmanship.) Genuine romantic passion is so rare, and so hard to sustain. It feels a little curmudgeonly to pooh-pooh and attempt to suppress it when you do come across it.
But pooh-pooh and attempt to suppress I shall. Because their right to boisterous copulation, IMHO, ends at the point where it impinges upon your REM cycles, leaving you feeling dazed, drugged, and dimwitted in your cubicle the next day.
And if you can hear their headboard-thumping, they can certainly hear your dog barking. So they're being doubly selfish and inconsiderate: They know they're waking you up but shag on regardless. You should definitely take action.
I think a politely worded note, slipped under their door, is the ticket here.
No direct mention of sex. Just something along the lines of: "Dear neighbours, I'm not sure if you're aware of it or not, but sometimes there's a bumping against the wall in the middle of the night and it's keeping me, and my dog, awake. Please, since I need to work in the morning, I would greatly appreciate it if you could find a way to minimize the noise. Thank you in advance. Respectfully, [your name here]"
Some people might say "talk to your neighbours" in this circumstance, and normally I'm a big proponent of face-to-face communication.
But a) if you haven't met them after three weeks, you clearly don't run into them that often; b) awkward!; and c) with a note you can make sure you get the wording just right. If you bump into them and start speaking extemporaneously, you could blurt out something that might give offence and cause the situation to escalate.
Obviously, when you eventually do run into them, even if you go the note route, it will come up. I would suggest having as brief a conversation about it as possible. Basically, just thank them - if they've quieted down - for respecting your peace and privacy.
Then don't mention it again. Change the topic, and next time you see them have a friendly conversation about something, anything (weather, mayor, movies) else.
You don't want their sex life to be the topic you mention, joke about, refer to - thus defining your relationship - every time you bump into them.
Of course, if they don't respond favourably to your request - if, say, they suggest you do to yourself what they're doing to one another every night - well, there are obviously other avenues you can pursue: a word to the condo board, even (as with Caroline Cartwright and Swordsman Steve) a noise complaint with the police.
But those are extreme measures. Best to avoid, if at all possible. Neighbour stuff can be very tense, fraught, and knotty - and last a long time. I know many people in all-out warfare with their neighbours, and so often it starts with a minor noise beef.
You don't want it to come to that. When it comes to neighbours, it's best to make peace not war. And then maybe they'll make love more quietly.

Garden Boys #4
By : A. Williams
After dinner, they walked back to Lucky's bedroom hand in hand, where John broke off to go to his room for his toothbrush and some clothes for the next morning. When he came back in their room, he found Lucky naked spread out wide on the clean silk sheets in the king size bed. He was splayed out with a big smile on his face and a much bigger erection.
That hard hairy body of his had John's mouthwatering if only he was ripe with sweat, thought John that would make his body so much more appetizing. He refrained from jumping onto the bed and sucking Lucky's monster cock. Instead he put his clothes in the big dresser and he slowly walked across the large bedroom to store his toiletries in the bathroom.
He hoped they would pick at and mess with each other again, like earlier. He loved the betting...and paying the price to the loser. That make the love making all the better. In all their years together they had always flirted but now that they were actually making love...Lucky had come up with a new game and John was very pleased with it... as well as the fantastic sex they had already had.
On the way out of the bathroom John stopped and slowly lowered his silk sleeping pants showing his hard cock and then turning to show Lucky his tanned perfect ass as Lucky began to stroke himself, moaning. Damn John's body turned him on like no other. "Baby, please come to me...we need to place another bet... this time how about how many times I can make you cum while I make sweet love to that perfect ass of yours?" Lucky said with a laugh.
John quipped back "No darling... how many times I can make YOU cum making love to you!" Lucky laughed. "Yes come and get it Baby... I am all yours... all yours forever you sexy devil." "How many times, Lucky ... I say I can make you cum 2 times before I cum in that tight hole of yours?" John said smiling knowing he could last for hours deep inside Lucky's ass. Still stroking and moaning Lucky asked "What does the winner get Baby?"
"How about ... full body massage and breakfast in bed after?" Lucky immediately answered "You are on Baby. Come and take me." He raised his legs and showed John his twitching hairy hole. John moaned as he crawled onto the bed toward his sexy lover.
With no foreplay, he dove onto his ass hole ... licking prodding with his tongue in tasting Lucky's sweet musky flavor moaning the whole time. Lucky begged for more, John was so great at eating ass he was finding out to his divine pleasure. Pulling his legs back "YYEESSS....Babyyy...yesssssss... eat mmyy aassss." When he was supper hot and horny, he started to beg "PPllleeeaassee fffuuuccckkk.... mmmeee now...bbbeefforree III ccccuuum."
John didn't stop, he when full on biting and sliding in two fingers as Lucky shot his first load screaming "Son- of- a- bitch." John quickly got his cock in his mouth and swallowed over and over to keep up but some of his cum ran out on his chin. John scooped up the leaking cum on his chin as used it as lube for Lucky's ass and his hard cock. He pushed in swiftly, in one push he was balls deep and Lucky pleaded "Please fuck me hard... fast...Baby fuck the hell out of me now!!!"
That's all John needed to hear, full force now deep hard thrust over and over, uncontrolled man sex was on... both men moaning and groaning grabbing each other in hard grips not caring about the pain to the other using all their strength to hold each other. Pushing, slamming and they starting to scream out now. "FUCK...MMMEEE...BBAABBYY...YYEESSS." Lucky screamed. "FUCK .... MMMEEE BBBAAACCCKKK." John screamed.
Lucky shuddered and locked up in a full body orgasm. Shooting here, there and everywhere as his monster cock swung back and forth while John kept ramming in and out of Lucky' ass. While his ass contracting, John came hard over and over in his sweet hole. They both saw black and passed out for a few minutes. As they came back to life, both men smiled and John said "What am I having for breakfast Darling?"
Lucky laughed hard "A full country breakfast baby... biscuits, redeye-gravy and ham... lots of fried eggs and fried potatoes with onions. Trust me baby... you deserve it all and more. You give me so much joy and happiness. I am so happy with you John. I never need anyone else... I never thought I would feel this way about one man but I do for you Baby." John started to cry, hard heaving sops on his hairy chest making it wet with his tears. Lucky pushed up out of bed and grabbed John up in his strong arms and sat him in the chair next to the bed. "Baby... please not cry ... I never want to hurt you please tell me what I did Baby?"
"Peter you have no idea how I feel about you. I have longed for you for many years. Everything is so wonderful between us, it only makes my heart flutter more." He said between sobs, running tears and running snoot. Lucky went and got a box of tissues and a blanket to cover John's naked body. "Please calm down Baby ... or I will start to cry too." Lucky said trying to smile with his eyes full of tears.
"Baby tell me what you are trying not to say. Maybe I should I tell you first Baby?" Lucky stood walked to his crumbled sleep pants and pulled them on as John calmed down, stopping the sobs. He walked back to John and knelt down between his legs again grabbing his handsome face in his hands smiling. "Baby, you are perfect for me, we are perfect together." John placed a finger on his lips to hush him and Lucky kissed is finger.
John moved his finger away and placed his lips on Lucky's as they both felt the shock waves through their bodies again. John pulled away and said in a whisper "Darling, my Peter I love you deep in my heart, soul and body.........
Part #5 soon.....Thank you for reading and posting.......A.

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Wednesday, Oct 08,2008 9:20 AM
Zoom has claimed to have garnered over 11 million viewers by making content available to audiences where they were present, instead of trying to attract audiences to a portal. This was stated by Zoom's Digital Head Sameer Pitalwalla while making a presentation on Zoom Audience Network before a select media in Mumbai on October 7.
Also present on the occasion were MK Anand, Business Head, Zoom; Sunil Nair, CEO, Nautaki; and Neeraj Roy, MD & CEO, Hungama.
Pitalwalla further said, "This strategy has given us significant advantage in marketing, as partners themselves act as marketing enablers. 3-8 minutes of short-form Bollywood content is made available for sharing and the same go viral from time to time. It was best suited for a content brand like Zoom."
According to the case study done by Nautanki.tv, in the last 48 hours, 162 Nautanki.tv widgets went live and nearly half of them had Zoom TV's content live. It was claimed that Zoom TV garnered 1.2 million views daily just from the nautanki.tv platform, the largest online entertainment brand in India.
Pitalwalla found it to be a great platform for advertisers as they could choose from a variety of platforms, including top Bollywood websites, Sifymax, Burrp, and Nautanki, among others. "Precise and detailed analytics ensure wider range of unique visits and leverage user-generated content," he added.
Speaking on the Internet space, MK Anand said, "It's a challenge because it is very difficult to ask clients to pay as much as he pays for the television medium for an advertisement. Even if a media planner is convinced with the figures that we are showing them, it is difficult for them to convince a client. We have different rate cards for this model and we are working very hard to educate media planners and clients on the importance of this space."
Neeraj Roy pointed out, "There is lot of consumption happening in this space. The manner in which as a channel they are adopting new media, adopting new forms of distribution, and as the conversion component really comes into play, today from consumer point of view, in a lot of market that is happening. The consumer is not necessarily differentiating between this and this, he is just consuming the content."
Speaking on Nautanki, Sunil Nair said, "Nautanki is basically about distribution of video content using the Internet as a medium, instead of the rather rigid television and cinema route. Nautanki.tv is widely recognised as one of the pioneers of online video media, an easy-to-use free service that usually provides hours of enjoyable entertainment. We have received a huge response through this platform."

Voices | VIEWS FROM THE STREET Dec 22, 2014
Tokyo: What's your worst Christmas memory?
An unscientific selection of views from around the capital suggests that Americans have more fun than Japanese at Christmas.
Mark Buckton has covered sumo for The Japan Times Online since 2006 and has long worked with broadcast media such as the BBC and CNN when things go awry in the sport. He has contributed to six books on Japanese culture, and is a columnist at entertainment magazine Eye-Ai.
For Mark Buckton's latest contributions to The Japan Times, see below:
An unscientific selection of views from around the capital suggests that Americans have more fun than Japanese at Christmas.
Much has been made about Hakuho coming from behind in Fukuoka last week to claim his latest Emperor's Cup. And rightly so. Rounding off the 15 days of action with a convincing yorikiri win over fellow yokozuna Kakuryu to finish with a 14-1 record, in ...
Foreign residents married to Japanese spouses share how they agreed on what to name their kids.
Independence-minded Catalans at a polling station in Tokyo explain why they voted in defiance of Madrid in a referendum that had already been ruled invalid.
There are two men to watch when the action gets underway at sumo's final basho of 2014, down in Fukuoka on Sunday. Both are Mongolian. One, in just his first tournament in the top division so very nearly upstaged the other, arguably the greatest wrestler who ...
There are several largely overgrown graves dedicated to European and American servicemen who died in the early 19th and early 20th century on Japanese soil.
Several hundred retired and serving soldiers, sailors and airmen, as well as civilians from around the world, will gather in Yokohama on Nov. 9, to honor the fallen.
An international bunch around Tokyo offer their views on possible ways to rebuild trust between Japan and its East Asian neighbors over historical issues.
In years to come, the 2014 Aki Basho will most likely be remembered as the tournament in which makunouchi's Mongolian new boy Ichinojo made arguably the biggest splash in a top flight debut in living memory. On his way to an incredible 13-2 finish – ...
Britons in Kanto explain why they are backing a "yes" in the referendum for Scottish independence or a "no" for the status quo.

This initiative aims to increase students' employability by providing alternative learning models – through active engagement with sustainability auditing. The project is a three year pilot, and hopes to increase student satisfaction by allowing a more flexible approach to learning, assessment and certification. All in the context of issues that impact the world around us.
Cooperation across countries and institutions is central to the success of the project. The NUS's official partners are the European Students' Union, the University of Edinburgh (UK), the University of Porto (Portugal), Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania), and the students' associations or unions of these universities (Edinburgh University Students Association, Associação de Estudantes da Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da Educação da Universidade do Porto and Kaunas University of Technology Students' Union).
A cohort of 60 students at participating universities will be trained by facilitators to become Social Responsibility Auditors. The training is intended to operate as student-centred, action-reflection learning – a combination of face-to-face and online – and teaches auditing against Benchmark Standards for University Social Responsibility, collated in an online toolkit. The toolkit includes four categories: Public Learning and Engagement; Governance; Environmental and Social Responsibility; and Fair Practice.
By ensuring that students are active agents in their own learning and its implications for social and environmental sustainability - and by building skills and experience - ESSA hopes to enhance graduate career prospects. Students will be awarded Level 6 European Qualification Framework (EQF) Certificate in Social Responsibility Auditing, and will complete the final audits at institutions other than their own, fully funded by the project.
Integral to the project will be the production of a significant, innovative Open Education Resource (OER) that will include:
Student satisfaction, employability and sustainability are central priorities for NUS, so we're proud to be leading on this EU pilot.

Reserved judgment on whether trial of man on historic sexual abuse allegations should be stopped from proceeding
The Court of Appeal has reserved judgment on whether the trial of man on historic sexual abuse allegations should be stopped from proceeding.
The case concerns a man who worked on a voluntary basis in a children's home run by a religious order in Dublin from 1974 onwards. A number of complainants came forward making complaints of sexual abuse including rape. His identity cannot be published at present.
On the eve of his trial in October, 2013, an indictment was furnished with amended dates.
In relation to the first complainant, offences originally alleged to have occurred between 1968 and 1974 were now charged as having occurred between 1974 and 1975. In relation to the second complainant, offences originally alleged to have occurred between 1974 and 1977 were now charged as occurring in 1977 and in relation to the third complainant there was no change in dates.
After the jury was sworn but before the man was put in the charge of the jury, his barrister, Caroline Biggs SC, applied for a number of rulings from the trial judge.
Ms Biggs sought a direction that the trial be stopped, or that an indictment be put forward which reflected the complainants' statements or that the complainants' evidence as reflected in their statements be ruled inadmissible.
Ms Biggs submitted that there was no basis for the Director of Public Prosecutions to have charged offences on radically different dates to those set out in the complainants' statements.
The trial judge refused Ms Biggs' applications and indicated that prohibition could be sought.
In a High Court judgment delivered in February, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys refused leave to seek prohibition and the matter came before the Court of Appeal today.
Ms Biggs told the three-judge court today that the High Court used the wrong test in reaching its conclusion and did not engage with the concept of arguability "at all".
What the complainants say in their statement of evidence "cannot be true", according to Ms Biggs. Furthermore, having established that the original dates were incorrect, by reference to his not having worked in the institution until 1974, this defence had now been "whipped away from us wholesale".
She recalled the trial judge's remarks that "in attempting to do justice to the complainant, an injustice has been done to the accused".
Reserving judgment, Mr Justice George Birmingham, who sat with Mr Justice Alan Mahon and Mr Justice John Edwards, said the court hoped to deliver its decision on Thursday.

Unlike an earlier piece I did here at NCR, which spoke to social justice activists like Sr. Simone Campbell and Eric LeCompte, this one focuses on the theological vision of Pope Francis.

Should I go ahead and tell her?

"if she would like to do something later"...would you explain this?
well this is what I said so you could ask her to do whatever you want. Go out for dinner, movies, coffee, breakfast, whatever works for you. You can be as creative as you like.

HOW'S this for a brilliant comeback?
With one simple tweet, actor Gabourey Sidibe smacked down all of her online haters who posted nasty comments about the 30-year-old's weight after she walked the red carpet at the Golden Globes.
"To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night," Sidibe tweeted.
To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night. #JK
— Gabourey Sidibe (@GabbySidibe) January 13, 2014
Yay! Everyone is so wonderful and supportive of my shade! This might be a problem down the line. Thank you! #notmyjetthough #imnotthatfancy
— Gabourey Sidibe (@GabbySidibe) January 14, 2014
The American Horror Story star, who received an Oscar nomination for her role in Precious in 2009, is no stranger to criticisms about her weight, but she told Parade last year that she's not concerned about "fitting in".
"I was born to stand out," Sidibe said.
"I don't care whether or not people will find me attractive on screen. That's not why I became an actor."
What do you think of Gabby Sidibe's comeback? Let us know in the comments below?

Good on her..... love it.... Go Girl
- Richard Dodiswell of Adelaide Posted at 15/01/2014 10:26am
Regardless of the comeback, obesity is not healthy, and althought precious was an incredible film, I thought the weight was for the film. Seeing that she is permanently obese and not looking to become fitter, I think her life expectancy will show the true value of her weight. We live in a society now that overcompensates for offence, and tells people "big" is beautiful. I'm not saying bigger men and women aren't beautiful, they are, but obesity on this scale, is unhealthy and destructive, and costly to the global economy. Not only that, it takes an emotional toll on the persons family. Obesity may be defended fiercely, but it's still a fierce cause of heart disease, and decreased life expectancy.
- GlassHousesBreak of Posted at 15/01/2014 10:26am
Love her and her witt! My only concern is for her health and someone with her disposition deserves to live to 100! As for her haters ⦠well I suppose life sucks for some people eh :)
- DC of Australia Posted at 15/01/2014 10:34am
I guess she could just say "hey what did you do that night ?"
- Vicki of Sydney Posted at 15/01/2014 10:45am
Well done to Gabourey. i think all these negative haters on the internet should really look in the mirror to see how they really look. Do they think that are an example of such human perfection that they can negatively comment on all others. must be hard living in their glass castles so high up above everyone else. although I am sure that they are not peering down on everyone from their private jets. :)
- Kath of Posted at 15/01/2014 10:51am
To Richard Dodiswell: "obesity is not healthy". Well duh. I'm sure overweight people know this a hell of a lot better than you do. And as for it being "costly to the global economy", well so is war, drinking, smoking, drug use, snowboarding, motorbike riding, bungee jumping, sunbathing, surfing, having children or simply walking down the street. I hate that faux concern about the "obesity epidemic" gives complete strangers the right to comment about other people's personal lives under the guise of concern for their health. I also find it incredible that most people don't wear a hat when it is 43 degrees outside, but I don't confront them about it pretending to be concerned about public health because that would be RUDE.
- The Voice of Reason Posted at 15/01/2014 10:53am
Ever notice how grossly obese actresses always say how comfortable they are in their skin, until they lose the weight and "have never been happier"? Truth is that the private jet belongs to someone else, the dream job won't be there forever, and she has ruined her body through excess and indulgence. I don't support the trolls, but I can't applaud her weakness.
- No Jet here of Not my dream job Posted at 15/01/2014 10:56am
Like someone once said to me; "there are a lot of old people. There are a lot of fat people. What there aren't a lot of is old fat people." While you're young your body can cope but sooner or later joints wear out and your health takes a hit. I'm sure she's living a great life now and enjoying it to it's fullest but it's a lifestyle that will bill you heavily in the end.
- Jake of Mackay Posted at 15/01/2014 10:57am
I would rather my healthy body and a long life without fame than obesity and a life littered with health issues, portraying bad images and concepts to people with a jet added in.
- Brisnurse of Brisbane Posted at 15/01/2014 10:59am
She could have all the money in the world, it won't bring her back from the dead when suffers a major heart attack!!
- Cheers of Queensland Posted at 15/01/2014 11:05am
To Richard Dodiswell on Gabourey's apparent cost to our global economy: I think she's paying for herself quite ably but I'm sure she thanks you for your concern.
- The Laughing Man of Ha Fragging Ha!! Posted at 15/01/2014 11:05am
Normally the mind-set of a hater is because of the self loathing they have for themselves - Feel sorry for these haters, they have a mental illness and such a strong self hatred that they need to pass it on to others to make themselves feel better.
- alex of Canberra Posted at 15/01/2014 11:15am
Kath you seem to take Dodiswell's comments on quite personally. Just one question how does surfing account for cost to the global economy?? Am I missing something here? I feel for obese people and have nothing but pride for those of them who try and do something for themselves ie exercise or diet but when I have to pay excess baggage on an airplane because my suitcase is 2 kilos over the "limit" and an obese person sits next to me that is nearly taking up 2 seats well thats when I get a little bit annoyed and reasonably so!!!!!
- Bella of Perth Posted at 15/01/2014 11:28am
I couldn't care less about her health - although she should - but fact #1, the lady is obese. Regardless of her profession and her preferred mode of transportation. Fact #2, she does not look good. What's wrong with saying the truth?
- Kevin of Melbourne Posted at 15/01/2014 11:31am
Fantastic, they'll envy her now they realise she's got it made.
- AussieBelle of Brisbane Posted at 15/01/2014 11:33am
Just because someone is overweight doesn't mean their not healthy. There are some skinny people out there who appear to be fit and healthy but are not healthy. So people need to stop assuming that an over weight person in an unhealthy person as they may be healthy on the inside but just having trouble shifting the extra weight on the out side. So I say good on her keep up the good work.
- Bitten of Posted at 15/01/2014 11:37am
@Richard Dodiswell: true, obesity is not healthy. And neither is gutless anonymous venom and bullying.
- Kel of Posted at 15/01/2014 11:39am
She might be fat, but it's HER fat, and HER problem. Or not. And it's her life. Her size does not affect my life or yours so get over it. I've got enough of my own problems without worrying about other people's health.
- right-on of PERTH Western Australia Posted at 15/01/2014 11:48am
What Haters More like Jealous for what she has. Size as well as wealth. Must admit that the body can be very misleading and happiness can be in yourself. Enjoy what you have and tell all the outsiders to live there life and butt out of yours. Go for it baby.
- chick of Posted at 15/01/2014 11:49am
Why do people bag out bigger actors/actresses? What do you think movies would be like if everyone was stick thin? Someone has to play the fat person.
- Trololololol of Posted at 15/01/2014 11:50am
It is a shame that some people think they have a right to tell other people how they should look. How does Gabourey's appearance really affect their lives when you put things in perspective? Some people's obsession with other's looks is ridiculous. Great response from Gabourey and good on her for living her dream life.
- Sarah K of Wgtn, NZ Posted at 15/01/2014 11:55am
Hey Bella of Perth... would you tell someone who had an unattractive face that they were ugly? No? Thought not. But why not? If they don't look good, what's wrong with saying the truth? It's wrong because it's rude and I'd put money on it 99% of internet trolls wouldn't say something rude to a person's face... it's easy when you can hide behind the internet like a gutless wonder...
- Grant of Posted at 15/01/2014 12:03pm
A lot of apparently healthy on the inside/outside here today with a dash of ugly on the inside.
- Amanda of Brisbane Posted at 15/01/2014 12:15pm
I feel sorry for her. That weight must put a horrible strain on her body and her life. I do agree Richard Dodiswell that obese people cost us all a whole lot of money. All of the knee replacements, heart attacks, diabetes, etc etc that come through the health system. In saying this, I don't agree with people being nasty and saying horrible things to this lady. No matter what bullying and name calling is never ok. But she can't pretend that she is healthy and no I am not saying all skinny people are healthy either. I think taking short cuts has become the social norm. People starve themselves to be thin rather than eat healthy and exercise regulary. And the other extreme people say they are happy to weigh 150kgs. This problem extends across the world. People need to take more responsibility for themselves, stop making excuses and make positive changes in their lives. If not stop cloging up the waiting lists in the health system and making me pay heaps in tax for your hospital bills.
- Jane of Melbourne Posted at 15/01/2014 12:19pm
AussieBelle os Brisbane, where did you get your medical degree? Being obese IS unhealthy!! It may not immediately manifest in to obesity related disease but IT WILL eventually. This woman will not maintain a productive life at her current weight. It will at some point create obesity related diseases, guaranteed. How could you possibly post such clueless rubbish.
- Paul of Leonora Posted at 15/01/2014 12:23pm
My god, I cant believe I wasted my time reading these stupid simple comment made by simple people. I though I would see a few positive ones about "be who you are" and that type of thing. But haters are going hate. Good on her for biting back in a much classier way than many of the comments here.
- Sydney of Posted at 15/01/2014 12:26pm
I would like to see photos of all the 'perfect' trolls out there so the rest of the web can poke at their self esteem.
- Mike K of Radelaide Posted at 15/01/2014 12:29pm
There are plenty of people who are overweight not because they eat too much and in fact may eat very healthy but still put on the kilos. God I usually cycle 150k's a week and am still technically a little overweight. Gabourey Sidibe's beautiful: good one her.
- Marc of Melbourne Posted at 15/01/2014 12:31pm
Her weight is her own issue. As long as she isn't advocating the lifestyle to my children (or for that matter, sitting next to me on a plane) then no problems. And good on her for puting detractors into their place. However, that is not a *brilliant* comeback - it's actually fairly standard. I was expecting a lot better after reading the headline.

Why do B.C. Liberals and B.C. NDP run candidates where they have no chance of winning?
For many B.C. voters, the Greens or the Conservatives are the second-best option in the upcoming provincial election.
The strongest B.C. Liberal supporters loathe the B.C. NDP, and vice versa.
So why would the governing party or the Official Opposition run candidates in constituencies where they have no chance of winning?
Why not give the Greens or the Conservatives a chance to knock off their primary opponent's candidate?
Like with so many other things related to B.C. politics, you have to follow the money.
Before the writ is dropped, the B.C. Liberals know they'll be slaughtered in the East Side constituencies of Vancouver–Mount Pleasant and Vancouver-Hastings.
Similarly, the New Democrats know that they can run candidates for the next century in West Side constituencies like Vancouver-Langara and Vancouver-Quilchena and probably never win these seats.
But if the B.C. Liberals and B.C. NDP field candidates in all 87 constituencies, they can also do fundraising in all 87 constituencies.
Every election, an NDP standard-bearer can hold out the hat in the tony areas south of Oakridge Centre or in Dunbar and panhandle for some money to bring back to the party treasury.
Similarly, the B.C. Liberals can usually find someone from a visible minority to run in safe NDP constituencies to convey the impression that the governing party cares about racial minorities. This, in turn, can yield some new volunteers and extra money for the party.
Over the years, the B.C. Liberals have recruited candidates of Philippine, Vietnamese, Chinese, and indigenous heritage to run where there was zero chance of success.
This has enabled the party leader of the day to be photographed in a sea of multicultural faces, helping the B.C. Liberals' electoral prospects.
The B.C. NDP has been known to play this game, too, running candidates from mainland China where there's absolutely no hope of victory. But it sends a message to new immigrants from this country that the party is keenly interested in their welfare.
In some cases, the losing candidate has been rewarded with a job or a board appointment afterward. Case in point: B.C. Liberal Gabby Kalaw, who lost to New Democrat Mable Elmore in Vancouver-Kensington in 2013.
The reality is that the B.C. Liberals would have a better chance of knocking off NDP stalwart Shane Simpson in Vancouver-Hastings if they sat out this campaign.
This would give the Greens' David Wong a better chance of pulling off an upset. Wong is a decent candidate with an impressive record of community service.
Similarly, the B.C. NDP could sit out the race in Vancouver-Langara, which would give former school trustee and Green candidate Janet Fraser a better chance of defeating B.C. Liberal Michael Lee. Instead, the B.C. NDP has recruited Burnaby school trustee James Wang to run in the constituency.
This will likely divide the anti-Liberal vote in Vancouver-Langara, which usually has a preponderance of B.C. Liberal supporters.
The B.C. Liberals and the B.C. NDP like to act as though they are mortal enemies. But they will still do whatever they can to preserve the duopoly in provincial politics.
That's because the two major parties already have a decent market share, which means lots of seats and lots of employment for backroom strategists and organizers.
Coke and Pepsi don't want a third cola on grocery-store shelves, so why would things be any different in provincial politics?

"The best thing was the staff on ward B5"
About: Rotherham Hospital / General surgery Rotherham Hospital General surgery Rotherham S60 2UD
Posted by shell962 (as ),
I was referred to Rotherham District General Hospital by my GP for a suspected hernia. There was a bed already provided as my GP already phoned straight through to the ward.
When I arrived I was escorted by a nurse to the ward B5, then was made comfortable. I had the usual blood pressure, my blood taken. i was only waiting three quarters of an hour.
Then the NHS doctor came to the ward to check me plus confirm the hernia, of which I had to be operated on the next day. All went well with the operation. After the operation I was made comfortable, was able to eat as well which was a good thing.
The best thing was the staff were rushed off their feet but were available when needed, pleasant and polite. Plus the people that were sharing my bay were friendly which helps. The worst bit was seeing the staff overworked.

-J & J Campus Ireland wins coveted leadership prize for innovative collaboration-
Media Release
4th November 2016
Entrants to this year's Sustainable Energy Awards have surpassed expectations demonstrating savings of €100 million through innovative sustainable energy projects. Presented by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and sponsored by Enprova, the Awards recognise and reward excellence in energy management in businesses, communities and public sector organisations. J&J Campus Ireland, (a collaborative group comprising DePuy Synthes, Vison Care, Janssen Biologics and Janssen Pharmaceuticals), claimed this year's overall Leadership Award for its far reaching efforts towards their ambitious goal of 20% CO2 reduction by 2020.
J&J Campus Ireland leverage the combined strength of these companies by promoting best practice and sharing knowledge. J&J Campus Ireland have financed capital intensive energy saving projects via a global CO2 reduction fund. They now have onsite generation including wind turbine technology, woodchip boiler systems, CHP systems, a tri-generation system (CCP), a geothermal cooling loop, and an industrial heat pump system. J&J Campus Ireland have demonstrated how renewable energy projects can be more easily implemented and at lower cost when organisations collaborate.
Entries to the nine SEAI Sustainable Energy Awards categories, included a wide range of innovations and technology solutions spread across sectors including retail, hospitality, construction and pharma all of which have shown excellent reductions in CO2 emissions and energy costs.
Congratulating the winners of this year's awards Mr Denis Naughten TD, Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment said: "Ireland has made significant progress in decarbonising our society in the last decade. As economic activity ramps up again, energy saving projects, like those demonstrated by entrants to the SEAI Energy Awards, are critical to keeping Ireland on the right path of reducing carbon emissions. The innovative approach taken by Irish companies to secure savings and reduce their energy use highlights the talent and knowledge that we have here at home. Their potential to inspire others to make similar efficiencies and monetary gains will help Ireland not only create jobs but will put us on the map as leaders in energy management while also benefitting the environment in the process."
DaysE won the GlenDimplex sponsored Innovation award for its 'Donate As You Save' fund raising model which uses energy savings as a means of financing energy projects in non-profit organisations. Dell EMC took home the Kingspan ESB sponsored Large Business Award for its ongoing commitment to reducing energy usage through a structured energy reduction programme saving them €4.5 million per annum in electricity costs alone.
Speaking on the night, Jim Gannon CEO, SEAI said: "€100 million is the highest figure for collective savings made by companies since the Awards began 13 years ago. As CEO of SEAI, I am immensely proud of the successes achieved by the finalists in bringing innovative solutions to energy management. The organisations here are not only leaders domestically but globally and I commend all those who took part in the Awards on their energy achievements and encourage them to keep the momentum going and inspire others to take action."

About the Sustainable Energy Awards
This is the 13th year of the Sustainable Energy Awards which had nine categories in total:
Sustainable Energy Award Winners 2016
1. Innovation
Winner: DaysE
DaysE created a Donate As You Save innovative fund-raising model which uses energy savings as a means of fund raising for energy projects in non-profit organisation. It facilitates the transfer of energy savings and/or energy credits from donors to charities. The donations are then used by the charity to implement energy upgrades to reduce their energy bills and running costs. In one example, Irish Country Meats invested €300,000 in energy upgrades at their plant and agreed to donate €10,000 of the energy savings to DaysE and pledged the associated energy credits which were worth €25,000 to beneficiaries as well.
2. Buildings
Winner: Cosgrave Developments
Cosgrave Developments, development of super energy efficient homes which include a District Heating System, Pay-As-You-Go billing and Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) systems with a special device to incorporate a load management module to allow homeowners maximize electricity output on site thus reducing energy bills, energy usage and minimising dispatch to the grid. Homeowners can use a remote control option on their smart phones to control their heating from anywhere in the world. An ESCO will operate the District Heating and work with homeowners to maximise efficiencies.
3. Research
Winner: NVP Energy
NVP Energy for research on the development of a Low Temperature Anaerobic Digestion (Lt-AD) technology for treating low strength wastewater in a sustainable way. The process treats the wastewater to a high standard, recovers biogas and produces negligible sludge. The process is less energy intensive and produces less carbon emissions than the aerobic technologies typically used to treat this type of wastewater. Wastewater discharge costs are reduced and the biogas can be used as an energy source. A full-scale pilot plant is in operation with a second research project due to commence in 2017.
4. Community
Winner: Camphill Communities of Ireland
Camphill Communities of Ireland for their Better Energy Communities project, which involved energy upgrades to 78 buildings including commercial, residential and community buildings. The measures included biogas electricity generation system, biomass boilers installations, solar panels and a wind turbine. The annual energy savings are estimated at €300,000 which is equivalent to a 20% reduction in energy use. The project was very ambitious both in terms of the scale and the level of innovative measures included. The project also included piloting of an energy charity model, using the Donate As You Save Energy (DaysE) software, which allows commercial organisations to make donations, which fund energy upgrades to be implemented by the charities involved.
5. Design
Winner: Hybrid Energy Solutions
Hybrid Energy Solutions for the design of a suite of highly energy efficient, reliable off-grid power generation systems. They are modular, self-contained systems that combine wind, solar, lithium ion batteries, diesel or biogas generators and have advanced, cloud based, remote access controls. They can be operated on 100% renewable energy. They offer 24/7 power in locations where the grid cannot be relied upon or is non-existent. They typically reduce fuel consumption by 70% and can deliver up to 95% cost savings. The user feedback has been very positive and the company has experienced a strong growth in sales internationally and has recently secured a €45 million contract in Africa.
6. Large Business
Winner: Dell EMC
Dell EMC for their ongoing commitment to reducing energy usage through a structured energy reduction programme. The company has achieved a 36% electrical energy reduction and a 35% natural gas reduction over an 8 year period. Their spend on electricity has reduced by €4.6M/annum. Measures include certification to ISO 50001, free and fresh air-cooling project, LED lighting, boiler controls, sensors and controls. As a result of the range of energy efficiency measures implemented, the company's emissions now fall below the criteria for the EU Emission Trading Scheme and they officially exited the scheme in 2015. They have a five year Energy Action Plan and recently undertook a Maturity Assessment to identify further opportunities to maximise the potential for energy savings at the plant.
7. Public Sector
Winner: Cork County Council
Cork County Council for being the first Local Authority in Ireland to develop and implement an Energy Management System that is fully certified to ISO 50001. The key challenge was to develop a system that could deal with the diversity of services provided by a County Council. It required the development of performance indicators for a diverse array of services ranging from road maintenance and street lighting to running leisure centres and libraries. Cork County Council has provided a roadmap and template, which will allow other local authorities to follow in their footsteps.
8. Small Business
Winner: Killary Adventure Company
Killary Adventure Company for their continued and enthusiastic commitment contributing to Ireland's transformation to a sustainable society. The company continues to invest in sustainable energy and is committed not only to operating sustainably but also passing on that message to their visitors and the next generation.
The company has invested €100,000 in energy upgrades including a 15kW wind turbine, a 200kW biomass boiler, flow restrictors on showers, a drying system that uses excess heat from boiler to dry clothes, LED lights, separating waste, composting, electric golf buggy and delivering sustainable education. The timber for the log burner is sourced locally and the company has a long-term goal of being a carbon neutral adventure company.
9. Leadership
Winner:J&J Campus Ireland
J&J Campus Ireland for maximising collaboration between four Johnson & Johnson affiliated Irish-based companies to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% by 2020 and deliver onsite renewable energy generation.

The next step - signing paperwork! The best way to do that is to follow this link, and complete and sign it right at home! If this does not work for you, can download these documents and bring them with you. We also have a few extra documents available should you not be able to bring them.
We will be in touch with you with the latest news for your audition city. Please add our email, "email@example.com" to your address book - to ensure that they do not end up in your spam or junk mail folders.
If you're working with Outlook, Window's Mail, Mac Mail, or any similar email application and if you find America's Got Talent emails in your Junk Mail folder, you should have the ability to right-click on its line in the list, and select the email as 'Not Junk'. You'll then have the opportunity to add the sender or the address they sent from to a "safe" list so that they will not be marked as junk in the future. In some online applications such as Gmail, AOL and Yahoo, the folder is called 'Spam' and all you have to do is go to this folder, check the box next to the email that's going to the Spam folder and click on the "Not Spam" button. Our emails will always come from the following email address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our auditions are open to anyone, any age and any talent - as long as the person meets the eligibility requirements. Please note, we strongly recommend registering online for your audition.
By registering, you will be able to complete the paperwork/forms in advance and also also receive the most up-to-date information on your audition city. You may also be eligible to sign the paperwork electronically.
We want to make sure your audition day goes as smoothly as possible!
If you are having problems submitting an online audition, you can email us at email@example.com . In your email, please include your name, email address linked to your Performer Profile, and the Applicant ID number, which you may have received during your online registration. Thanks!
Please note, we only allow one email address to register for each city.

If you plan on coming to the audition with more than 15 people in your act, we can help make sure you have all the paperwork you need to make your audition day go as smooth as possible. Please fill out the Large Group Form and we will be in touch before your audition day to help you prepare.
Please note, if you cannot print your ticket, you can always show us on a mobile device or tell us your Applicant ID number.

Sometimes, we'll keep the doors open a little later, in case anyone is running late. The time auditions start and/or finish is at the discretion of the Producers and according to the rules of the venue.
Auditions are "first come, first serve."
Your best bet is to expect to be with us the whole day. Please read this article to give you a better idea of your day with us.
You can audition as a group and also as a solo act. You can also audition in two different groups. It's best that you register online if you're coming to see us. You'll need a different email address for each registration, if you are the one completing the Performer Profile for both groups. If for any reason you have issues doing so, please come see us in person at a venue in one of our cities. You can complete the paperwork there.
PLEASE NOTE: When arriving at the venue, and when you pick up your contestant sticker (whether you registered online or will register in person), please tell us that you are auditioning in a group, but also would like to do a solo audition. You'll need 2 stickers for each "act."

So that is 3-5 days or so, so I would expect us to be playing games by the middle or latter part of next week?
Totally open to suggestions from people on how fast you want to move through the rest of the offseason, but I imagine most of you won't be able to make an informed decision until we see what happens in free agency. Apparently it all happens pretty quick.
If there is nothing to do for 2 months, I would be willing to sim the rest of the summer in one day unless there are objections. Some people might need the season to start so they can waive some guys in order to sign a remaining second tier free agent etc too.
Yup, an idea to would try and get every body to post on here or send u a message via xbl when there done offering contracts? is possible and if you get a reponse from all users before the 24 hour sim you could advance it.

Mr. Tall is the thirty-first book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves.
Mr. Tall hates his oversized legs. He meets Mr. Small, and when Mr. Small goes for a swim, Mr. Tall can't, but three other Mr. Men teach him that oversized body parts can be helpful. Mr. Tall decides his long legs are great for walking, and while Mr. Tall made it home quickly, Mr. Small took a year to get home.
On the 1997 Mr. Men Show, his legs are thicker and farther apart than in the book.
International publications & translations[edit]
Mr. Tall appears under the titles Monsieur Grand (French), Don Alto (Spanish), Unser Herr Riesig (German), Ο Κύριος Ψηλός (Greek), 長腿先生 (Taiwan), 키다리씨 (Korean).
The Mr. Men Show[edit]
Mr. Tall appeared in the second season of The Mr. Men Show, he was voiced by Keith Wickham (UK) and Godfrey (US). In the second season, he retains his look but is given a brown hat and matching brown shoes. He was the last of the new Mr. Men to speak for the first time, which he did in "Travel". He's got a deep voice, almost like that of a soul singer. Mr. Tall speaks with a Texan accent which is deeper than Mr. Strong's and a Polish accent.
