Massive document leak spells 'end of TTIP'
Today's publication of the 248-page leak of negotiating documents for the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) spells the end of the controversial EU-US deal, campaigners said today.
The texts of the TTIP negotiations have been kept strictly secret until today's leak, which reveals European Commission negotiators preparing to trade away key sectors of the European economy in order to win contracts for multinational corporations in the USA.
The leaked documents, which represent 13 of the 17 chapters currently in 'consolidated text' form, also confirm that TTIP will open the door to US producers of genetically modified food and other products banned in the EU for public health and environmental reasons, confirming fears that European regulatory standards will be abandoned in the deal.
Additionally, they show that the USA is refusing to accept any 'reforms' suggested by the EU to the hugely controversial investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) 'corporate court' mechanism, which allows big business to sue governments for lost profits.
Reacting to the publication of the leaked documents, John Hilary, Executive Director of War on Want, said:
"We have long warned that TTIP is a danger to democracy, food safety, jobs and public services. Now we see it is even worse than we feared. Today's leak shows the European Commission preparing to sell us down the river, doing deals behind closed doors that will change the face of European society for ever. It is simply unacceptable that a group of unelected officials should be allowed to contemplate such a thing without any public scrutiny."
Hilary continued: "Today marks the end of TTIP. Total secrecy was the only way the European Commission could keep the European people from learning the truth about these appalling negotiations, and now the cat is out of the bag. We call on the governments of Europe to halt the TTIP talks immediately, disband the EU negotiating team and hold a public inquiry into how such a damaging set of negotiations was ever allowed to get this far."
For interviews and further information, contact Ross Hemingway on +44 7983 550728.
The full set of documents can be downloaded here.
Over 3.4 million European citizens have signed the petition calling for an immediate end to TTIP.

Former WWE star Kamala real name James Harris is currently hospitalized in Oxford, Mississippi and on life support after undergoing emergency surgery.
Kamala's stepdaughter, Juanita James, said on Facebook that he underwent surgery at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday. Following surgery, Kamala was put on life support. Wrestler and friend Koko B. Ware was there for support.
"FB friends and family please for my stepfather aka Kamala James Harris had emergency surgery this morning around 3am they didn't think he would make it out of surgery but God. He's on life support. His buddy Coco B Wear is here."
In an update today, James said that while Kamala remains on life support, he is "showing signs of improvement."
"A lot of people has asked me for updates on James Harris status the Doctor said he's looking good this morning. He's still on Life support but he's showing signs of improvement."
James did not say why Kamala underwent emergency surgery.
The former wrestler has battled numerous health problems over the years, including having both of his legs amputated. In November 2011, Kamala had his left leg amputated below the knee due to complications of high blood pressure and diabetes, a condition he has had since 1992. In April 2012, his right leg was amputated below the knee.
Here is a recent photo of Kamala, who is 67 years old.

In Conversation: Forest Swords Finds the Barest Way to Beauty
The British producer and sound collagist talks about opening himself to collaboration and simplifying his sound on his latest—and best—album, Compassion.
Matthew Barnes speaks like his music sounds. The Liverpudlian producer tackles the questions I ask in the same rise, fall, repeat pattern his songs follow. He ponders, he begins, and then his pace quickens, excited by the answer he's coming up with in real time. Under the name Forest Swords, Barnes has created a dance subgenre all to himself following a method similar to his aforementioned speaking style. The intros are quiet, the middles expansive, and the endings pensive. It's a simple formula turned complex thanks to intricate instrumental manipulations and wily sampling. He's created a mythic, fantastical world in which the dubby underbelly of electronic music is flipped to the forefront and accompanied by gigantic drums, from-the-mountaintop horns, and walloping melodies.
While Barnes has followed this path with each release, 2010's Dagger Paths EP and 2013's Engravings particularly emphasized the swampy murk of electronic music. Compassion, out now on Ninja Tune, steps out from the darkness and aims for something affirming, positive, and, well…compassionate. I spoke with Barnes about the numbing aspects of touring, life in Liverpool, and his various multimedia endeavors with his Dense Truths label.
The critical reaction to Compassion has been amazing so far. What has your sense of the way it's been received been?
It came out on Friday [May 5] and I basically turned everything off—I switched off all the lights and turned the Internet off for the weekend, so I've only caught up in the past day or so, but I've been really overwhelmed by it. I think when you spend so long on a record… I'll be perfectly honest: I convinced myself that it wasn't very good. You get so close to an album that you lose all sense of objectivity—what it sounds like and how it flows. So I forget that people are completely fresh to it and have only heard it in one iteration rather than me hearing it hundreds or thousands of times.
It's been four years since your last full-length. Was that an intentional choice, or were other factors contributors to the long gap between records?
I spent a lot of time playing the songs from [Engravings] before they got released. I think I played them for six months or so before the album came out. So when I got finished touring I was over it. I really wanted to take my time. When you tour quite a lot—we were doing a lot of festivals—you can feel like you're in stasis. I felt that way because I was playing the same set and my music tastes were changing slightly. I felt like I was changing as a person, too. But because I was playing these songs from two years ago, they didn't quite reconcile with each other. When I stopped touring I made a conscious effort to take a year or eighteen months to try and figure out what I was going to do next—what it sounds like, what it feels like.
Is that a tricky balance? To tap into the times while still aiming for a certain timelessness?
It is. Especially with doing interviews, I'm careful to not be too explicit when explaining what certain things are or may represent. When you do that, it immediately puts a date stamp on it. That's not how I usually work. It was a real fine balance—making it feel relevant and forward-thinking without placing it in a certain time period.
One of my favorite parts of your music is that since it's mostly instrumental, the feelings you convey need to be very specific in choice and aesthetic.
That's a really good point. There are a lot of tweakings regarding melody to get the right intention. I've learned more and more about how I can use sound, melody, and texture to give intention rather than be explicit with lyrics or traditional songwriting. Making choices and trying to infer certain emotions through those choices is quite tricky but I feel like I'm getting a grip on it.
I think that's reflected in the booklet that accompanies the album. I was wondering if you could expand on that a bit. It's a collection of photos taken of first-wave immigrants traveling from Liverpool to New York, yes?
I'm from Liverpool and throughout my life I've collected photos. Sometimes that will make its way into album artwork or tour fliers—sometimes I'll use them as an inspiration, a sort of Tumblr. I stumbled across this group of portraits taken in New York at the point of processing but they were all of people who had traveled through Liverpool and sailed to New York back in the early 1900s. It was completely fascinating to look through these because they were of people who had come from all over Europe, Russia, and North Africa, and traveled through the city I was so, so familiar with. I had no concept of this transit. The portraits just stunned me. They were so otherworldly and beautiful, so I figured I'd have to use them in some way. They made their way into the booklet, and it's a nod to the whole migration conversation at the moment without explicitly referencing it. I just thought they were beautiful, pure, honest portraits of people who traveled to New York to start a new life. There's a real sense of pure beauty in that.
I think these themes show up in your music, both in the vulnerability and the subtlety of Compassion.
That's interesting. Generally, the way I work visually is I'll work something up and figure out if it fits and reconciles with the music. I'll ask if it plays off the music, too. The portraits just felt like they vibed with the sounds and textures of the songs.
Are there any influences that strongly directed this record?
I listened to a lot of Björk. Making this record, I was looking to get more compositional—strings and brass. She's a real master of mixing electronic music with more traditional sounding instrumentation. I listened to a lot of that and a lot of jazz as well. It was a genre that I had never really understood before; I had never really had the time or the inclination to dive into it. It's not something that you can just—there's not really a clear entry point. So I just spent a lot of time getting into it and trying to get a grip of it. I also listened to a lot of ambient stuff, too. William Basinski and Tim Hecker. You can hear bits and pieces of that on my record, where there are a lot of moments that disintegrate and fall apart. Those moments were definitely inspired by those sorts of artists.
There's a real patience to Compassion as well.
I was less terrified of packing everything in at the same time on this one. I learned that it can be really beneficial to strip stuff away and let the music have some breathing room.
What you said about Björk was actually something I wanted to talk about. In your music there's a fascinating play between the artificial and the real, the sampled and the performed. Is that something you're interested in tackling specifically or does it come about naturally?
It came from the first few songs I did. I was just starting to learn how to use the laptop and I was very concerned with not making it sound like I did it on a laptop. So naturally I fucked around with sound and how it worked. It's kind of interesting because I don't know why I like that kind of play, but I'm really interested in it. The plugins I have now are so sophisticated that you really can't tell what's real and what's not. Occasionally there will be something a bit wonky with it or a bit off and you'll be like, 'Hold on, is this synthesized?' It's quite interesting because when I do use real instruments I'll process them so heavily that I guess it becomes digital on some level. I don't think that's less valid. Using them both at the same time to the point that people don't know what's what is really a fun thing for me, and it makes me approach sound in a different way because I enjoy processing things quite heavily. I'll make things that sound authentic more artificial and things that sound artificial authentic.
If you record a trumpet for instance, and then put a shit load of echo and reverb on it—cut it up, too—is that now real or digital? What is that? I just like playing with sound. That's just what it boils down to: playing with sound and pulling emotion from it. FL

Next Generation TV Market Insight 2013
12 Jul, 2013, 16:22 BST
DUBLIN, July 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/624p4v/next_generation) has announced the addition of the "Next Generation TV Market Insight" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
From the first half of 2012, Industry leading Korean companies started to recover and move from economic deficit to surplus. However, the TFT LCD market which have previously shown a rapid growth is now in the maturity stage and due to the changes in the spending pattern of consumers and aggressive purchasing policy of set companies, the display industry and in particular, the LCD manufacturers are experiencing profitability deterioration which can no longer be neglected. As a solution, companies are finding a breakthrough by realizing a large-size high-resolution LCD panel screen and commercializing OLED television technology which might lead to the fourth "Big Bang" in the market.
At the same time, ultra-high resolution TV and large-size screen TV over 50 inch is being competitively launched to dominate the next generation technology market, as the price of large LCD panel continue to drop to a level where large TV preferring customers are able to afford, the market for super large, high-resolution (4K2K:UHD) TV over 50 inch in size is growing in a rapid speed.
LCD panel manufacturers used a fully depreciated production line (under 8th generation), as making investment to build a next generation production line was difficult, due to severe profit deterioration caused by rapid price decline and economic downturn. In order to increase glass efficiency from a current level of 90%-95% to a level of 95%-98%, MMG (Multi Model Glass) was used to produce models of different size simultaneously from a single piece of circular glass plate. As extra-large MMG panel of maximized efficiency started to be developed and mass produced, the sales of new size panel and set product started to expand in the global market, starting from China.
The resolution of a display is rapidly improving to ultra-high definition to produce clearer picture as processor, memory and display device technology develops. If the evolution from SD to HD is considered as the first display wave from Analog Era 1.0 to Digital Era 2.0, the evolution from HD to 4K2K (UHD) can be considered as the second display wave from Digital Era to Consumer Electronics 3.0. The change is not just a simple transition of TV screen resolution but it is a fundamental change and innovation of clouding computing such as broadcasting system, network, contents and imaging technology.
Recently, a new 4K2K (UHD: 3840x2160) TV, which is superior than the current digital TV (FHD:1920x1080) was launched to pursue differentiation as a market strategy and research and development were made on SHV (Super High Vision: 8K4K) for NHK in Japan for several years, for the digital TV generations. The 6 top Chinese local companies together with Sony, Sharp and Panasonic of Japan are aggressively developing products and deploying marketing strategy to dominate the domestic market and the global TV market.
The challenge of 4K2K (UHD) TV is to increase the production yield of LCD or OLED panel, reduce the price of product and support the wide contents industry (broadcasting, S/W). The Korean companies picked OLED and smart TV as the next generation core technology and predicted the 4K2K (UHD) TV market to open in earnest at least after 2 to 3 years. However, the market for 4K2K (UHD) TV seemed to be already one step closer after attending 2012 IFA (Berlin Consumer Electronics Fair) and CES 2013 (International Consumer Electronics Show).
The era of 4K2K (UHD) TV is to come faster than expected as consumers are aware of the value of high-resolution since they are already accustomed to devices like smartphones and as LCD panel manufactures are trying to break through the market with large-size panels. The current FHD (1920x1080) resolution is insufficient in providing high-resolution images for large-size panel of above 50 inch. The keyword for the next generation display technology which Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China focus on is not the state-of-the-art technology but production capacity and process technology.
In the future TV market, deposition technique that is suitable for large-size high-resolution (over 4K2K) having mass production yield rate of conventional LCD level will become the standard technique for OLED and will be the key factor determining the success and failure of the business.

While you're praying for peace this Christmas season, please pray that things in Korea will calm down. Especially that those preparing to deploy will be with their families for Christmas!
"There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ. Let it be a time that lights the eyes of children and puts laughter on their lips. Let it be a time for lifting the lives of those who live in loneliness. Let it be a time for calling our families together, for feeling a closeness to those who are near to us and a closeness also to those who are absent.
Let it be a time of prayers for peace, for the preservation of free principles, and for the protection of those who are far from us. Let it be a time of forgetting self and finding time for others. Let it be a time for discarding the meaningless and for stressing the true values. Let it be a time of peace because we have found peace in His teachings.
Most of all, let it be a time to remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the Wise Men.
My brothers and sisters, may the spirit of love which comes at Christmastime fill our homes and our lives and linger there long after the tree is down and the lights are put away for another year. This is my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord, amen."

Midsummer Mask-Making Part 6
If you don't have your mask for the Midsummer Masquerade by now, you're probably panicking. But don't worry. We have the ultimate last minute mask that is not only cheap and easy, but also extremely unique.
You will need:
- Tissue paper (any color)
- Pen and/or markers
- Scissors
- Foundation and/or lotion
- Eye shadow/liner (optional)
- Printed mask outline (optional)
First, find or design a pattern for your mask. Put the tissue paper over the pattern and trace the shape. Using make-up and/or washable markers (Sharpies can stain your face), decorate/outline your mask. Once you're ready, cut out the mask, carefully severing the under-eye sections from the rest of the shape to apply separately.
Apply a base of liquid foundation or lotion to the areas of your face the mask will cover. Gingerly apply the top of the mask, painting over it with liquid lotion (such as body milk) until it is set comfortably against your skin. Depending on the style you wish to achieve, you may want to go ahead and add any eye make-up.
Add the under-eye portions with more lotion, being careful not to rip the tissue paper.
Depending on the look you're aiming for, you can somewhat blur the edges of your mask with eye shadow or blush.
This mask is versatile, and can be any size or shape you desire. Keep in mind, though, that tissue paper can rip, so this mask will be a one-time wear. You can, of course, use your pattern to make more.
If you wear this mask to a long event, I suggest taking your lotion with you, just in case. A few dabs will easily reattach wobbling sections.

Time for tea
PUBLISHED: 06:06 18 August 2014
©Archant Photographic 2010
A rushed cup of tea and a couple of biscuits standing up in the kitchen before walking the dog or picking the children up from school is the nearest most of us get to afternoon tea indulgence.
So wouldn't it be wonderful to sit down at a beautifully laid table for bite-size sandwiches, melt-in-your mouth biscuits and cakes that simply don't take no for
an answer?
Enjoy the wonderful weather, invite your friends, set up a table in the shade, and prepare for the perfect tea party.
Picture your ideal setting, and start planning. Naturally there have to be cups and saucers – not mugs.
Borrow and mix and match from friends, or consider hiring fabulous vintage floral crockery from Norwich based Flowers for Tea (www.flowersfortea.co.uk). If heading for the mismatched look that is so popular this year, ensure there is a theme of colour, shape or pattern.
Remember milk jug, sugar bowl, tea plates and serving platters too.
Browse the selection at stores such as Bakers and Larners, Aldiss, Jarrold, Palmers, and Loose's, or hire from companies such as Ashwellthorpe's Anglia Elite, which can provide a small numbers of items as well as large (www.angliaelite.co.uk).
Sparkling teaspoons and knives are next, and then on to the star of the show – the teapot. It needs to be large enough to give one cup full for each guest before it's refuelled; have more than one pot if you've more than five guests. If buying or hiring, test it pours impeccably too – and remember a tea-cosy!
Linen makes all the difference to a well-dressed table. A plain tablecloth and runner is best if the crockery is patterned, unless heading for the multi-coloured vibrant look. Press, and if it doesn't cover the table put a contrasting sheet underneath and lay the cloth diagonally.
Crisp napkins are essential, roll up and tie each with ribbon, tucking in a flower. The same ribbon can be used to add a bow to each chair, perhaps with a flower too – not a huge bow, this isn't a wedding! A tiny matching bow on the handle of each cup, tea pot, jug and around the sugar bowl is a lovely touch.
Beautiful flowers in a low vase, teapot or teacup are essential. Too high and they'll be knocked over as guests reach for another sandwich!
Proper old fashioned roses are gorgeous; it doesn't matter if they are in full bloom as falling petals look beautiful. Otherwise a bunch of wild hedgerow flowers and greenery can be charming.
A pedestal cake stand helps create space on the table for everything, and remember a serving tray, cake server, possibly a knife rest if cutting slices and a proper tea strainer and rest – this is not the time for teabags!
Paper doilies may feel too suburban for many, but how about crochet linen doilies? Look out for them in antique shops. Add bunting or ribbon or fabric bows to the surrounding trees or shady pergola if it needs extra interest.
For food, think light bites. That's small sandwiches made from very good bread, filled with cucumber, or smoked salmon, tomato, or egg and cress.
Then old-fashioned homemade favourite biscuits, such as lemon melts, almond piped biscuits, coconut squares, walnut kisses, shortbread and gingernuts. All can be made in advance.
Follow these with little indulgent cakes. If they're small, guests will try two or three rather than just one elaborate cup cake. So icing-topped fairycakes decorated with sugar flowers, baby butterfly cakes, meringues, iced petits fours (cut sponge cake into various small shapes, cover with icing, or brush with jam and roll in chopped nuts, or swirl butter icing on top and serve in individual paper cases) and slices of lemon drizzle cake.
If you haven't time to make your own, buy from your favourite baker (Samphire make an amazing lemon drizzle, www.samphireshop.co.uk) and cut into smaller pieces.
Add tiny chocolate éclairs, a chocolate Victoria sponge filled with buttercream icing and a lovely pastel Battenberg cake.
Now just keep the hot tea flowing!
Afternoon tea is all about the food at Strattons Hotel in Swaffham, where the newly opened deli and tea room, Co Coes, is incredibly popular.
Afternoon tea is served on simply white crockery with open sandwiches and fresh cakes presented on slate platters. With cakes such as rhubarb and blueberry bustrengo, zesty lemon slice, raspberry and choc brownie, caramel nutty squares, giant meringues, marzipan and apricot cookies, chocolate swirl shortbread, beetroot passion cake, chocolate orange and olive oil salted sponge and sticky lemon polenta among the 20 or so cakes on the menu, the food certainly says it all.
Cook Maggie Cooper and owner Vanessa Scott say afternoon tea always feels like a treat, so delicious food is a must. "We like to get away from the fuss and let the food speak for itself," said Vanessa.
Co Coes is open 8am-7pm, takeaway is available. See www.strattons-hotel.co.uk; 01760 723845. Thanks to the Strattons team for providing the food and garden location for afternoon tea.

Four years ago at RedBud, Mike Alessi survived one of the worst crashes the circuit—and the series—has seen. Alessi, then a factory Suzuki rider, crashed while battling for the lead in the second moto at the bottom of the big sky jump. He crashed on the face of the following jump and ended up right in the middle of the track in the landing section. Most riders missed him, but not all. (YouTube footage is here).
From the crash evolved the wheels-on-the-ground flags you now see at every outdoor national. But it also seemed to start a string of setbacks and injuries that have plagued Alessi since. He lost a direct shot at the 450 title the next year when he broke his leg two days after winning the Freestone National—and he hasn't won since. Last year on a KTM he appeared ready to challenge again for the Lucas Oil 450 Motocross title, only to crash himself out in practice at Hangtown.
On Saturday, Alessi was back at RedBud and back on a Suzuki. But he's no longer a factory rider. In fact, he races for MotoConcepts as a full-on privateer, the factory giving him nothing in the way of assistance—the bike he rides isn't even yellow. And yet it's Alessi, not James Stewart or Brett Metcalfe of the Yoshimura Suzuki factory team, who is the highest-ranked Suzuki rider in the standings. Granted, Metcalfe is out and Stewart is just coming back from a wrist injury, both having had their own fair share of misfortune in the past few years, just like Mike.
Alessi was involved in another big crash at RedBud, but unlike four years ago he was able to recover and charge to an 11th place finish.

Off the start at RedBud in the first moto, Alessi's bum luck returned when he plowed the front wheel while charging the loamy inside on the start, triggering a chain-reaction crash that some were calling "the big one" we haven't had in a few years. Guys were pinballing everywhere, with Alessi seeming to be lifted across all of them as he tried to save his own crash. It was almost as ugly as 2008, only this time Alessi got up, thankfully, and charged from thirty-fourth to eleventh at moto's end.
For the second moto he limped to the line in obvious pain, took a spot in the middle with his later-than-usual pick, and then did what we all expect Mike Alessi, arguably the best starter in motocross history, to do: grabbed the holeshot!
His lead didn't last long, but his heart did. After holding off Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey as long as he could, Alessi focused on finishing strong, which he did—second place, ahead of James Stewart, ahead of the Honda factory-supported riders, and ahead of the Kawasaki factory-supported riders. Afterward he sat on the side of the podium, missing a podium spot by two with his 11-2 scores. He didn't have a ride back to the pits either, as his bike had gone to impound. So he limped into an official's mule and hitched a ride back to his motor home, his wife, Danielle, right there with him as always. He was stoic, injured yet satisfied with the race he had just run.
Mike Alessi hasn't given up on someday becoming the best motocross racer in the world, even though the odds get longer with each passing season. But whether you like him or not, what #800 did at RedBud was downright heroic. He didn't win, but he sure as hell didn't quit either. Come to think of it, he never does.

Q&A: Headliner.fm's Mike More On Facebook And Music
You can't stop the music, and neither can Facebook, as perhaps the most anticipated announcement to come out of Thursday's f8 developers conference involves the social network's potential plans for a music dashboard. As a co-founder of social recommendation service Headliner.fm, Mike More knows a little something about music. More spoke with AllFacebook about his company's expectations for f8.
You can't stop the music, and neither can Facebook, as perhaps the most anticipated announcement to come out of Thursday's f8 developers conference involves the social network's potential plans for a music dashboard.
As a co-founder of social recommendation service Headliner.fm, Mike More knows a little something about music. Headliner.fm allows Facebook and Twitter users to exchange their music recommendations, and more than 110,000 artists are currently using the service.
More spoke with AllFacebook about his company's expectations for f8, including its announcement of a partnership with cloud music-uploading service SoundCloud, and his thoughts on what Facebook will introduce on the music front.
Does Headliner.fm know whether Facebook is in fact stopping short of launching a full-on music dashboard at f8 (like Forbes.com suggested last week)?
We do not know if it will be a full-on dashboard, but they are definitely integrating music and media into their service in a more substantive way. It looks like it will be great for both artists and music fans.
What's the current nature of Headliner.fm's arrangement with Facebook? Does Headliner.fm have anything to announce at f8?
Headliner is one of many applications built on the Facebook platform. We do not have a special agreement with Facebook directly, like Zynga, but we work with their developers closely to optimize the performance of our app. Our goal is to enable artists of all sizes to reach new fans in the newsfeed. We are announcing our new partner agreement with SoundCloud at f8. SoundCloud is the best way for artists to share music in the new feed.
Do you think Facebook needs to quiet the storm over the newsfeed before any kind of music product can be successfully announced or launched?
No, I like the changes to the newsfeed. I think in the short term, most people will really like the newsfeed changes. From what I can tell, my newsfeed is sorting messages by the strength of my relationships, which makes it more useful for me.
Would a music product launch on Facebook suffice by itself to placate users — and even brand managers and members of the media — who are upset about the newsfeed?
I predict that they will make music easier to discover and share, and this will be great for music fans and artists. Do brands belong in my newsfeed? Music is not a brand. It's a work of art, like a movie, TV show, food, book, or fashion. If brands want to be in the feed, they should think about Facebook users first. I think their message should only show up if it is recommended by a friend, artist, or trusted source.
Does the current version of the newsfeed work against music advertising, or does music have a strong enough affinity with friendships to override what some other brand managers might be experiencing (i.e., that users prefer to see content from their friends, to the detriment of brands trying to get visibility in the new feed)?
The new newsfeed will be good for artists. It will help them communicate with their fans better. The newsfeed has to be about content from friends — this is a much better user experience. The only way messages should be included in the feed is if they are real recommendations from friends, artists, or a trusted source.
Or does the newsfeed change make it more imperative than ever for music advertisers to work with an outfit like Headliner.fm?
Absolutely. The changes in the newsfeed will be very good for Headliner.fm, music fans, artists, and Facebook. We do not think of our platform as an advertising product. We see it as a social recommendation platform. Ads for artists and most brands are not as strong as social recommendations. The messages on Headliner.fm are endorsed, approved, and then posted by the artists directly. One of our main goals is to help artists, managers, and labels reach the most relevant audience through authentic communication.
What advice does Headliner.fm have for entertainment brands looking to boost their visibility on Facebook?
Speak to your audience with love and respect. You can't fake the funk. We understand the need that entertainment brands have to reach a wide audience, but it cannot be at the expense of authenticity. Quality will help you gain visibly more than anything else. One of the cool things about Headliner.fm is that we are about artists recommending one another to their fans in the newsfeed, and recommendations are high-quality — in other words, they lead to quality messaging.
Is there anything else you want AllFacebook readers to know about?
Headliner.fm reaches about 15 million music fans every day on Facebook, and we are growing at a nice rate. We get a ton of requests from Facebook users who are not artists that want to use Headliner. We are listening to this feedback and opening up our platform for application developers, small businesses, Etsy users, and others who can gain visibility on Facebook through social recommendations. We are stoked that we can help so many Facebook users, and we want to share the love.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Tim Zastrow
We have two very large 100-year old sycamore trees behind our house, both with deadwood which had started to break off and fall on our patio area. We were concerned that this was a dangerous situation, so we contacted several tree companies in the area to get estimates. Tim Zastrow, the arborist sent by Bartlett Tree Experts, did a really nice job explaining to us the type of maintenance sycamores need, we were confident that the solution he proposed was the right one. He also recommended putting in a lightning protection system in both sycamores, which we thought was a pretty good idea.
Bartlett's wasn't the least expensive of the companies we contacted, but it also wasn't the most expensive (by far). Tim offered a discount if we wanted to wait until November to get the work done, but since the deadwood was falling now, we decided to go ahead and schedule the work. The team that came out was excellent -- they arrived exactly when they said they would and did exactly what we contracted them to do. The tree climbers are highly skilled. We were worried that falling branches might hit our new metal roof, but the climbers were careful. They did a great job, and our new lightning protection system will be a conversation piece for sure. The job took most of the day, and Tim came out to check on the work himself. It was an all-around nice experience.
We have a dying pine tree that needs to be removed and we will schedule this work with Bartlett's in November to get their winter discount. We are really happy with the work they did for us, and we will be repeat customers for sure.

Tim is, of course the tree guru of Montgomery County, and he was exceptionally helpful as we decided the future of a sycamore on our property -- actually two sycamores. He was also patient as he taught me about how a tree feeds sustains itself and grows -- and where to look for the weak spots and the signs of decay/trouble. We decided to have one large sycamore trimmed and re-cabled. His crew was prompt, professional, skilled, and considerate of us and the neighbors. They left the work site spotless, and left everyone involved happy.

Nudist Resort, here we come! :-D
My own view on nudity depends on the weather and my mood. If there were no nudity taboo then I'd have no problem going around naked all the time, barring weather, safety, or hygiene concerns. If it's even a little chilly then something is likely to be put on, possibly a lot of something as I start freezing easily. There are also times when I feel unusually exposed in my head so I want to be covered up and/or left alone.
But other than that? Sign me up.

Piyush Gupta, chief executive officer at DBS Group Holdings, said in a letter to the bankâs client base, which was published on its website, that a repair job undertaken by IBM went wrong and led to the failure in its systems.
According to IBM, the use of an outdated repair procedure resulted in the outage taking place.
No data is thought to have been lost during the incident, which occurred on July 5th.
In his message, Mr Gupta said: âSo far, we understand from IBM that an outdated procedure was used to carry out the repair.
âIn short, a procedural error in what was to have been a routine maintenance operation subsequently caused a complete system outage.â
Meanwhile, in a separate statement, IBM said it has now âtaken steps to enhance training of our personnel related to current procedures and brought in experts from our global team to provide further assistanceâ.
IBM and DBS are believed to be working together to ensure that incidents of this sort do not happen in the future.

Probable the only discussion on kids our true digital natives. As marketers it is our responsibility to shape a better future for those very people that will consume our brands and services tomorrow. Why is pink for girls and why must it be blue for boys? Why does everything need to have a color yet we discriminate against color? What is the color of mindfulness?

{LISTEN: Chloe Charles – Find Her Way}
There's no escaping the specialness of this time of year. I was really touched by the collective enthusiasm for making beautiful flower crowns last week for the spring equinox – crafting and wearing my crown really put me in the mood for positive thinking and a new perspective that comes with the seasonal shift. And this weekend the clocks go forward too – the loss of an hour's sleep is a small sacrifice for the longer days we can enjoy over the coming months.
Today's Mood of the Moment really captures the spirit of springtime for me… flowers, lambs, fresh air and lighter clothing are all symbols that mean the world to me, especially since this is the first spring in seven years I'll be spending back in the countryside where I belong. Take a moment for yourself to sit back and enjoy this lovely uplifting tune by Chloe Charles, discovered by our Dad and recommended to us.

New minimum standards categories have been unveiled by the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) for 2014/15 — but the sector has been left asking why they were not ready earlier.
Guidance for post-19 training, issued on Tuesday (October 28), revealed how qualification success rates (QSRs) will change. Previously, providers' QSRs were divided into three categories — long, for courses of 24 weeks or more, short, for courses lasting two to 24 weeks, and very short, for less than two weeks.
However, these have been recategorised and further divided into 13 qualification types, including apprenticeship frameworks (which continue to have a 55 per cent success rate threshold), A-level (which continues at 75 per cent), AS-level (which continues at 63 per cent), awards, certificates and diplomas.
Association of Colleges senior policy manager Joy Mercer said: "It is disappointing these new methods and standards are implemented retrospectively — a pilot year would have been a better option."
Association of Employment and Learning Providers chief executive Stewart Segal said: "Providers need to manage their provision in line with the minimum standards guidelines and these should be published well before the end of the year to which they are applied."
Providers face the SFA intervention process if they fail to hit the QSR thresholds.

WASHINGTON -- The Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) announced Tuesday that it will now be easier and, in many cases, cheaper, for people with pre-existing medical conditions to enroll in high-risk insurance plans created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Insurance premiums for the federally run Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) will drop as much as 40% in 18 states, and eligibility standards will be relaxed in the 23 states and the District of Columbia where the plans are administered by the federal government. In the remainder of the states, the plans are run by the states using federal money.
PCIPs were created by the healthcare reform law to provide people with medical conditions an insurance option until 2014, when insurers will no longer be allowed to deny coverage based on pre-existing medical conditions, including high cholesterol, arthritis, and cancer.
Republicans have criticized the plan for not enrolling as many people as Democrats expected, and for being an unaffordable option for lower-income people with medical conditions.
But recently, enrollment in PCIPs has increased, growing by 129% from November 2010 to March 2011. In total, there are about 18,000 Americans enrolled in PCIP, according to a press release from HHS.
"We've been enrolling at an increasing rate, and know we have a capacity to enroll even more," John Berry, director of the federal government's Office of Personnel Management, told reporters on a Tuesday morning call.
The newly announced premium decreases in 18 states will bring PCIP rates more in line with other insurance plans sold on the individual market in the states. In the six other states that have federally run PCIP plans, the premiums are already well-aligned with premiums of private, individual insurance plans, Berry said.
In addition, HHS announced it would be a little easier to enroll in the PCIP. All that is now needed is a letter from a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner dated within the past 12 months stating that the person has a medical condition, disability, or illness. Prior to Tuesday's announcement, people applying for a PCIP had to show a denial letter they received from an insurance company.
The other criteria -- including being a U.S. citizen and having no health insurance coverage for six months -- still apply.
"These changes will get more people covered," said Steven Larsen, director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, in a press release.
Federal officials told reporters that many people still don't know they are eligible for PCIP, and the officials said they will try and better publicize the insurance plans, including enlisting the help of medical providers to inform eligible patients. (Information on applying can be found here).
The ACA included $5 billion for the PCIP. Berry said it was unknown how much additional money, if any, lowering premiums and relaxing enrollment requirements would cost. Aside from federal money, the plan is paid through individual premiums.

Did you know that the best stomach fat burner is actually food? The road to a flat belly is just a spoonful away. Here are just six stomach fat burners that will help you lose some inches and give you a more toned belly. The only trick is to include it in your daily diet.
Firstly, we have the avocado. It is just one of the super-foods as it has a high content of monounsaturated fats. A study should that dieters who ate foods rich in monounsaturated fats seemed to lose more stomach fat than those people who at the same number of calories with much less fat. A recent study conducted found that when mice were fed diets with trans fat in it, their waist line increased by as much as thirty percent compared to those mice who ate monounsaturated fats.
Monounsaturated fats work to stop fat from accumulating. The body will store fat around the stomach when blood glucose level peaks, monounsaturated fats will stop these spikes from occurring. A small avocado has about ten grams of healthy fat. As a healthy snack dip some vegetable slices in a quarter cup of guacamole.
Green tea can also help melt fat away. To show off your six-pack that is hidden start by getting rid of the fat around your mid-section. Green tea can increase an individuals metabolism. To kick-start yours consume three cups of green tea daily. Not only will this increase your metabolism but it will also burn thirty calories a day just by drinking it. Green tea has a chemical Epigallocatechin Gallate or ECGC in it, that enables if to burn the fat in your body. Just by drinking green tea you can loose as much as three pounds a year.
A common side effect of a change in diet is feeling bloated. An easy solution for this is eating a yogurt rich in probiotic. probiotic are bacteria that are actually good for the digestive tract. It works by encouraging the growth of good bacteria and attacks the issues that is causing the bloating feeling. So the next time you are out shopping for groceries be sure to include yogurt with probiotic. If you are not fond of flavored yogurt, try the plain one with live and active cultures to help you towards a leaner belly.
Another best stomach fat burner food is berries. If you are working out be sure to include a cardio segment and consume berries to help with your muscle conditioning. Berries are not only fat trimming but rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants help deliver more oxygen to the muscles as it improves the flow of blood through arteries and veins. The more oxygen your muscle gets the easier the exercise gets and that makes you work harder and longer. The berries with the most antioxidants are black and blue berries. They go well on a whole grain waffle or added to a smoothie or your favorite cereal.
Believe it or not carbs are good too. However, the whole-grain ones are a must. It was found that dieters who ate whole grains lost more tummy fat than dieters who consumed refined grains for the same calorie intake. Did you know that a cup of bulgur has as much fiber as four grams and only seventy-six fewer calories than other grains. Fiber is a compound that can keep blood glucose levels in check. Some researchers have also said that it may shrink fat cells.
Here's a surprising drink that worked well with athletes. Chocolate milk... Yes chocolate milk as one of the best stomach fat burner food. It was found that athletes who drank chocolate milk did not have as much muscle damage after an intense work out as compared to those athletes who drank a sports or energy drink instead. The glass of milk combined carbohydrates with protein and this in turn would help with muscle-building. Be sure to use a cocoa powder or chocolate syrup that has less than twenty grams of sugar per serving. Stir in just two tablespoons of the powder or syrup and enjoy.
Now that you have the list of six super foods that will help you burn some fat. Incorporate it in your diet and before you know it you will have a six-pack. But remember diet alone will not work be sure to include an exercise regimen. So which food is the best stomach fat burner for you?

A startup called PimpMyNews.com has launched a free news application that converts text news into spoken news for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The Web-based service can be accessed through the iPhone's or iPod Touch's Safari browser. PimpMyNews uses the Internet to find the latest news and converts text into audio that can be listened to on the devices. Audio versions of the news can be shared with others by posting the information on social networking sites.
Users are able to create what the company calls "personalized talking newspapers". A user is able to choose from 59 categories from news sources and blogs for the program to look for and translate. The information is sent to the iPhone or iPod Touch and is constantly updated as news comes in. The PimpMyNews Internet site has over 200,000 talking stories and over 4,000 are added each day.
The news from this service does sound automated. A live person isn't reading the news like you hear on the radio or television, so inflection and diction sound computerized. (Maybe some day computers will learn to speak with some emotion.) But the service is free so why not give it a try?
