When people want permission to use the copyright-protected work of a musical artist, they do not have to contact that artist directly. Instead they can negotiate through a music rights organization, also known as a performing rights organization (PRO), which represents the work of that artist. In turn, the PRO will collect the licensing fee and pass it along to the artist. In the United States, someone holding a Master of Music in Music Business and Entertainment Industries (MBEI) degree will likely become familiar with three principal PROs — Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), SESAC, and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). BMI and ASCAP are non-profit organizations while SESAC is not.
BMI — The Rebel Is Born
Frustrated radio broadcasters created BMI in the late 1930s. At that time, the dominant licensing agency, ASCAP, dramatically increased the cost of playing the music created by ASCAP artists. In response, the National Association of Broadcasters created BMI as a lower-cost alternative to ASCAP. BMI established itself by signing artists ASCAP ignored or overlooked, which favored the creators of mainstream pop music of the era.
BMI signed both established and unknown artists working in every genre, including marginalized genres like rhythm and blues and country music. By the end of 1940, 660 of America's roughly 800 radio stations had switched in protest from ASCAP to BMI. It took several more months before the radio industry and ASCAP reached an agreement and ASCAP artists returned to the airwaves. BMI's major influence in the music industry and its competition with ASCAP continues today.
SESAC — Here Comes the Specialist
SESAC was originally known as the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers. It was created in the U.S. in 1930 to protect the music rights of European artists and collect their American royalties. In time, its focus broadened, and it dropped its original name in favor of its acronym. SESAC earned a reputation in the beginning for its catalog of classical music; it also represented impressive Gospel recordings. SESAC grew to include a wide range of musical genres, including hip-hop. SESAC is smaller than its major competitors, but its roster of talent includes some of the biggest names in music. Today it takes special pride in being at the forefront of technological advances in tracking royalties in the digital age.
ASCAP — It Started It All
ASCAP is probably the PRO most music fans are familiar with. Working composers founded it in 1914 to protect their music rights — charter members included Irving Berlin. ASCAP boasts that it is still the only American music rights organization created and run by artists. In 1924, the group proved its strength by lobbying Congress and winning greater copyright protection for its music on the radio. The ASCAP catalog is so extensive that it dominates the pop music of the '20s, '30s and '40s that many refer to as the great American songbook. ASCAP's talented roster during those years included legends like Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael, Rogers and Hart, Cole Porter and George and Ira Gershwin. ASCAP expanded over time, beginning to license music in 1949 to a new medium called television. Its catalog includes all genres and lists everybody from Jimi Hendrix to avant-garde composer John Cage to Bob Marley to Johnny Cash. However, ASCAP has not remained in the past. It claims it became the first music rights organization to distribute royalties from internet-based performances.
Today's musical artists have choices when it comes to protecting their music rights. Likewise, today's industry executives have choices when it comes to which PRO they would prefer to work for. Both the artist and the executive may find that earning a master's degree in music business offers deeper understanding of the complicated and nuanced world of music rights.

Gibson Empathizes with Obama: 'Holy God, What a Weight that Is on Your Shoulders'
Bye, Bye, Charles Gibson, oh, bye, bye and again, bye,bye.
From Newsbusters;
In his swan song interview with President Barack Obama, which consumed more than ten minutes of World News, ABC's Charles Gibson couldn't have provided a friendlier or more empathetic platform to Obama on the "weight" of sending troops to war and how "devilishly difficult" it's become to pass health care plan because of a few rogue Senators. Gibson, set to retire Friday, teased his last Wednesday newscast:
The Uncooperative Radio Show Host and I call these people "Morons" all the time on our Radio Show, we call these morons; the "Lame Stream Media", but now I think, that, that is too nice a term for this verman.

Shanghai-born artist Hong Wai Hong Wai uses her brush with uncommon skill, mastering the nuances of ink a well as the wash effect. Her works, using live with live models, exude an intimacy rare in Chinese painting. They are both highly feminine and feminist, examples of not just the beauty of the female form but also, somehow, their bold claim to independence in love and in spirit.

Manchester City must find a world-record £150million fee to lure Gareth Bale from Tottenham.
The Premier League leaders, who face Spurs in a title clash at the Etihad Stadium today, have made discreet enquiries about the 22-year-old Wales international winger.
Even cash-rich City were staggered by the asking price, which would shatter the current £80million world-record transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo from neighbours Manchester United to Real Madrid.
Rumours had surfaced that Bale has a £50 million buy-out clause in his current contract and City were ready to steel a march on a host of European club by meeting that asking price in the summer.
The Stellar Group, who represent Bale, have confirmed that there is no escape clause.
Bale, who is under contract to Spurs until the summer of 2015, has maintained he's in no hurry to leave White Hart Lane despite growing interest in him.
Ironically, back in 2009, when Spurs were considering the sale of Bale, City turned down the chance to sign him for about £4m. Mark Hughes, City's manager at the time, didn't want to complete a deal.
Since the Bale's career fortunes. have been transformed and he has become one of the most exciting players in Europe.
Van der Vaart urges Spurs winger not to Bale out

Book Tour and Activities on the Go!
The astonishing fact about Haryana is that it is the most ancient land of India where Veda Vyasa, the saint, wrote the famous epic Mahabharata, as believed. The place is shrouded in the myths of Mahabharata and gains more attention for a sightseeing tour in Haryana. This land is less explored in terms of tourism. Visit the Rock garden, Butterfly Park, Garden of Fragrance, Sarkaria Cactus Garden, Rose Garden, Mahendra Chaudhary Zoological Park, Chhatbir Zoo, Morni Hills in the city Beautiful Chandigarh. Chandigarh is the capital of Haryana and Punjab. Another popular pilgrim destination is Kurukshetra, which is said to be the ancient land or battleground of the famous Mahabharata war. The land is where Lord Krishna preached Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna. Ambala is one of the ancient cities in Haryana and so is Panipat which delves on the bank of River Yamuna. The Archaeological shreds of evidence prove its connection and relation with the Paleolithic age which makes it a timeless land for a sightseeing tour in Haryana.
Panipat is one of the five cities in which are founded by the Pandava brothers and holds a historical importance beyond Mahabharata. Small cities like Pinjore and Panchkula cannot be spared either. Karnal lake and Karnal fort in the Karnal district are some of the antique sights which are highly recommended from people who unknowingly arrive in Karnal and then fall in love with the village life of the place. While you are in Haryana, do not miss the most modernized and equipped town of the state. Gurgaon is encircled by the NCR radius and is the most developed city with grand and opulent malls and complexes with metro connectivity. Usually not seen as a tourism hub for travelers but if one explores the nooks and corners of the state on a sightseeing tour in Haryana, you will find a place shrouded with ancient stories and historical events that will entice you and keep you glued here.

Continued scaling of CMOS technology has led to increasing working temperature of VLSI circuits. High temperature brings a greater probability of permanent errors (failure) in VLSI circuits, which is a critical threat for real-time systems. As the multi-core architecture is gaining in popularity, this research proposes an adaptive workload assignment approach for multi-core real-time systems to balance thermal stress among cores. While previously developed scheduling algorithms use temperature as the criterion, the proposed algorithm uses reliability of each core in the system to dynamically assign tasks to cores. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm gains as large as 10% benefit in system reliability compared with commonly used static assignment while algorithms using temperature as criterion gain 4%. The reliability difference between cores, which indicates the imbalance of thermal stress on each core, is as large as 25 times smaller when proposed algorithm is applied.

On December 4, a letter of apology by Onew was posted on SHINee's official website. The apology regards his sexual harassment controversy which took place back in August.
The letter reads as follows:
"Hello, this is Onew.
I sincerely apologize for delivering bad news and disappointment to the fans who've loved and cheered me on. Throughout the past 4 months of hiatus, I was able to reflect on how I've greatly disappointed the fans that have treasured me. I've also endlessly blamed myself. I thought and thought about how to apologize, how to express with which words. I was cautious about writing a letter because I felt deeply sorry... That is why I know it's late but uploading this letter now.
As I received more love and attention, I needed to act with responsibility even in my personal time but I'm just deeply sorry for giving disappointment. I'm very sorry to our members that I've been together with for 9 years... I also want to apologize again to my parents, as well as the employees of my agency who were shocked because of me.
I'll always reflect on actions and try harder to take care of myself more strictly. I promise to work my best to live up to our team name SHINee in both business and personal ways from now on."
Prior to this, SHINee fans recently threatened to boycott 'SM Artist Season's Greetings' due to Onew's involvement.

Last week's Adventure Week finished somewhat differently to what was planned. I ended up having a lie in on Friday morning and wasn't able to head to Dunbar and back by the evening peak. I will hopefully try to get through there this weekend. Instead I went to St Andrews, spending only about an hour there. That was by intention rather than design as the 2.5 hour journey to St Andrews passes through some lovely countryside as well as two of Scotland's New Towns, Cumbernauld and Glenrothes, which are less bonny, to say the least. It is a good journey just to sit and watch the world go by or to catch up on reading or, in Friday's case, one's iPlayer backlog. Thus it was that I was to be found crossing the Fife countryside watching a documentary about Pompeii presented in typically magnificent style by Mary Beard, combining enthusiasm with a good few decent one-liners.
The bus arrived in St Andrews about 10 minutes late due to roadworks in Guardbridge. I had swithered about heading home via Dundee though balked at paying £22 to travel 80 miles on the train. Instead I decided just to have a wander. I have a habit when in St Andrews to make a circuit, heading along South Street, past the Younger Hall to the Cathedral, Castle and back along the Scores. The Younger Hall is an attempt at Greco-Roman architecture that has just ended up looking like a pile of boxes all piled up or a mechanised comic book villain at repose. It in fact belongs to St Andrews University's music department but just looks like the head office of Toytown City Council.
I had planned to go to Dunbar just to be by the sea. Since I couldn't do that, I stood by the Castle for a few minutes watching and listening to the waves, appreciating them as a multi-sensory experience. I felt the usual sense of calm as I touched base with the grey sea and looked across towards the Angus coast. I also watched a grey bird with a long body that I couldn't identify, being shamefully ignorant of such things.
I walked along to the Martyrs' Monument and past Howard Place, a square surrounded by elegant town houses reminiscent of Edinburgh's New Town, before going for the bus back to Glasgow. That was memorable by the decent share of characters sharing the X24 with me, including two huge, slightly stinky dugs (with entirely non-smelly owners, I should point out) plus several people having conversations I would rather have missed including someone having a loud argument on her mobile including unironically saying did the person she was speaking to really want their business shared to others on the bus. I couldn't help hearing what they were saying and wondered why people couldn't wait until they got home to have such sensitive discussions. It would be better all round. I plugged my music in, started to write and tried to tune out, with varying degrees of success.
The bus arrived back in Glasgow just before 7 and I had about half an hour to walk back across town to Central for my train home. I stopped at the traffic crossing on Killermont Street, looking up at the massive Cineworld cinema with its many floors of lights and escalators, before I sauntered down Buchanan Street, letting the city pass me by. It was busy, a Friday night, with folk going out or having been out for a while, as seen by the fair few scooped people about the place. I felt relaxed, unbothered by the rush of people around heading this way and that for once with more urgency than me. It doesn't take much to see the world anew; as with all the other adventures of the week, it may setting out on foot or just looking another way, turning another corner.

Can Christians Preach Outside a Mosque?
When rights and hypersensitivity to Islam collide. Check out this excellent piece at American Thinker about a case in Philadelphia:
Law enforcement scrutiny, detainment by police, and a court date to answer trumped-up charges: these are the consequences of preaching Christianity to Muslims not only throughout much of the Islamic world, but sometimes even in America as well.Continue reading>>>
The most infamous example occurred last June, when four missionaries from Acts 17 Apologetics were arrested and charged with breach of peace while they calmly discussed their faith with Muslims at the Arab International Festival in Dearborn, Michigan. Armed with self-recorded video showing that they had acted in a civil fashion, the Christians were vindicated by a jury several months later.
An important but virtually unnoticed Philadelphia case from 2010 bears striking similarities to the one in Dearborn, including police shutting down religious speech directed toward Muslims and a prosecutor filing charges patently at odds with video evidence.

Settlement of a workcover claim out of court
In this article, we'll outline the main benefits of settling an injury (common law) damages claim OUT of court. In doing so we also wish to highlight that in some cases, injured workers may well believe that their case is worth much more than the workcover insurance company is willing to pay, and also believe their case is worth much more than it is actually worth. Indeed injured workers hear or read stories about large settlements and/or court verdicts and may get caught up in the (very expensive) litigation process.
Settlement of a workcover claim
An employer (therefore their workcover insurance company) or an injured worker can actually settle a disputed common law damages claim at any time. In other words, settlement can happen before court proceedings are issued [and also] after court proceedings are issued; and a settlement of a common law damages claim can even happen when you're partly heard in court.
The more straight-forward the injury is, as well as the circumstances – especially negligence– in which the workplace injury occurred the more likely the chance of early resolution or settlement of the claim.
For example, if a worker falls at their workplace and breaks his back because the flooring was wet (from cleaning) and there were no warning signs up (eg. warning: wet floor), that would be a fairly clear case of negligence on the part of the employer.
Settlements are generally agreed between the parties (lawyers) acting for the injured worker and the employer and/or its workcover insurer.
In common law damages cases, when negotiating a settlement both parties must consider the nature and extent of the injury, how the injury affects the worker's life, and how it affects the worker's ability to earn an income.
Once all the information has been considered, the parties then "calculate" the amount of damages or weekly payments that should be awarded to the seriously injured worker. But in doing this, both representatives (lawyers) essentially make an experienced guess of what verdict (award) a judge or jury would likely have come up with if the matter had proceeded all the way to court (trial).
If any of the parties (injured worker or employer (workcover insurer) go to court (trial), they will have a lot of costs, and the outcome is almost always uncertain.
Where any litigation (going all the way to court/trial) involves risks for both parties, settlement out of court gives a known outcome, reduces the cost exposure (very important for the injured worker), and also prevents matters from being aired and documented in court (i.e matters of a more personal nature for the injured worker such as bullying, harassment etc; and matters that may adversely impact upon the reputation of an employer).
It is well knows in the "industry" that both parties tend to prefer to negotiate a settlement for a damages claim so that they both have a known outcome. It obviously may not be the best outcome for one party (injured worker) or the another (employer insurer), but at least they know, and they take away that risk and associated costs of litigation.
It's very important to know that once settlement has occurred, you can not go back unless there's a legal argument such as proving that there was something fundamentally wrong with the information upon which settlement was based. This is extremely rare.
To accept or not to accept a settlement offer is the question
A few weeks ago I heard from an injured worker who was offered a settlement (out of court) by the workcover insurer (employer) for the amount of $70,000. The injured lawyer strongly advised the injured worker to please accept the offer (before going to trial) but the injured worker flatly refused. The case went all the way to trial and the injured worker's representatives tried it well…But the jury only awarded the injured worker $15,000!!! OOPS!
Unfortunately we do hear of quite a few such unfortunate outcomes.
In some cases, injured workers take on a belief that their case is worth much more than the workcover insurer is willing to pay, and in some cases they believe that their case is worth far more than the case is actually really worth. As stated above, injured workers hear and/or read stories about large settlements and verdicts, some get caught up in the litigation process, and some -yes- simply have an inflated value of their own injury.
It's may help to know that the average payout (as in damages claim) in Victoria is only $80,000!
So, before you refuse a reasonable settlement offer please read the following points:
- First of all, you should hire (or have hired) a decent and very experienced lawyer (or law firm)
- Your lawyer will have (vast) expertise in the area of persona injury law
- Your experienced lawyer will expect that you (the injured worker) will take seriously his/her recommendations with respect to settlement when, and if, that occurs
- Although ultimate settlement authority is your decision, your lawyer will hope that you (the injured worker) will trust his/her judgment [and that of other lawyers in his/her office] in evaluating and assessing the merits of your case.
- Have confidence in your decent, experienced lawyer(s)
- It is important to meet with your lawyer from time to time and be sensitive to their concerns (and vice verse). Try not "getting out of hand." Stay realistic about the value of your claim, preferably before you begin the settlement process.
- Before the settlement process starts, establish a reasonable $ $ $ settlement range with your lawyer
- Understand that the value you place on your case is not necessarily the insurance company's value or the amount that a jury would award you on a given date
a. The value of the case/claim placed by the injured worker
This value may be high or low depending on how reasonable you are. If your own guessed value is high, your lawyer should inform you that you are entitled to such (inflated) an opinion but that, in reality, you will probably never see it, even if the case goes all the way to court and trial.
b. The value placed by the workcover insurance company
This value is one that a particular workcover insurance company may be willing to pay at a certain time for a particular case/claim on a settlement basis. Beware that workcover insurance companies are (very) "conservative" especially in small-ish cases (= non-catastrophic cases). The workcover insurance company will try to place a value on your case claim that will -of course- encourage settlement. Also it's worth knowing that once the insurer has placed such a value, they are usually quite firm in their position. Saying that, always expect the first insurer's offer to be shockingly/insultingly low! It is not uncommon that a first insurer's offer is ZERO ($0), or, for example that you had a value of $800,000 in mind but the insurer's first offer is a miserable $100,000.
c. The value a jury would award you (your case) on a given day in court
This third value of you case is the possible verdict a jury would award given the set of facts put to your case. This value can best be described as a sort of bell-shaped curve. The low value could be zero in some cases -especially-if liability is an issue or could be less than or equal to all the weekly payments you have received to date! (remember that you have to pay back all your weekly payments (and more) if your receive a settlement (compensation) in court). The mid-range value is often consistent with the workcover insurance company's settlement range. At the right end of the bell-shaped curve is the unlikely high verdict that a jury would award on the very best day if all factors went in perfectly for you (the injured worker).
- Using the above "bell-shape" approach you can see that if the workcover insurance company's offer is in or near the mid range the bell-shaped curve, settlement should be seriously considered
- If you (the injured worker) still refuse (for whatever reason) to accept an offer deemed reasonable by your decent and experienced lawyer simply request/obtain a second opinion. Make sure you go to a reputable lawyer for that opinion!
- Please take the time (a much as you need) to clearly understand the costs and problems of litigation (taking your case to trial). Many problems of litigation include testimonials (including very costly expert witness testimonials), interrogatories, your costs (legal fees) and the lapse of time getting to trial (12-18 months at least -it will take at least 1 year, sometimes 2 and several thousand dollars to take your case to court )
- Also understand that in some cases, the workcover insurance company will lower the 'commercial' value after litigation has been started, especially if weaknesses (e.g negligence) are disclosed in your case
- It is also well known that juries are reluctant to award significant verdicts (compensation) in small or small-ish cases such as soft tissue injuries. Go and check out some of the recent low verdicts on law databases that have occurred in small cases or cases similar to you. It is also true that quite some juries are negatively influenced by media (fraud cases, injured workers ripping off system, "whiplash' comp etc.)
- Beware at all times that the potential jury verdict you could get could be a fraction of the workcover insurer's final offer!
- If you still insist that the settlement is not enough, your lawyer may "bite the bullet" and start litigation. If your lawyer believes you have a clear liability (negligence) case that will result in some verdict or the possibility of an increased settlement offer, your lawyer will tell you that litigation is required or an option. Your lawyer will also tell you when s/he does not believe it is in your best interest to start litigation. Beware that some decent experienced lawyers may (try to) release you – end your no win no fee contract if you are extremely unreasonable with respect to the commercial value of your case. (In such a case, your lawyer may possibly release the file to you with the expectation that s/he will be paid either when the case settles or at the time s/he releases the file for the time s/he has spent on the case so far. This is a last resort tactic but, if you are way out of line with respect to the value of your case, your lawyer may have no choice but to release you and let you pursue the claim with another lawyer).

Questions and answers about settlement
It has been said that it has become more and more difficult to convince the average injured worker that acceptance of settlement offers from greedy workcover insurers is in their best interest. Many injured sods hear or read about huge damage awards and often assume they are entitled to the same. Not long ago a decent very experienced senior PI lawyer told me that he finds that he is now spending as much time working with the injured worker as he does trying to convince the workcover insurer to make a reasonable offer. He was kind enough to share the most common questions (and answers) asked by injured workers about their settlement.
I do not believe that I am getting enough money in my case/for my injury/pain and suffering etc. Why don't we simply go to court?
It is not always possible to settle a case for the amount of money the injured worker requires. It is your decent, experienced lawyer's job to make sure that your settlement (compensation/common law damages claim) is fair and consistent with other settlements paid to other injured workers for similar injuries. You have, of course, a right to place a (commercial) value on your injuries, pain and suffering. loss of enjoyment of life, wage loss etc. but the workcover insurance company has also a right to place its own value on your injuries, even if that value is much lower than your own expectations. When the injured worker and the workcover insurance company cannot reach agreement on the value of a case, it is up to jury (or judge) to decide. The goal of your decent, experienced lawyer is to achieve a settlement that, in his/her opinion, and based upon his/her expertise, is close to the potential award from a jury/court.
In your lawyer's opinion, the offer that you (and your lawyer) now have on the table from the workcover insurance is well within the potential verdict range in this case. It may be closer to the top range of the verdict/award scale than the bottom range. Or it may be that the offer is closer to the low range of the potential verdict/award in your case, but it is still well within the range of a potential jury verdict and is being paid now rather than 2 years from now. If you decide to go to court (trial), it will be a long and expensive process before your case goes to trial. When that trial takes place, the chances of you obtaining more than a few thousand dollars more than the present settlement offer are very slim and, in fact, the chances are equal that you may get less than the present offer! For these reasons, your lawyer may not recommend gambling on a trial, when the chance of obtaining significantly more money is against the odds.
Why are the chances that I will receive less money (settlement) equal to the chances I will receive more money?
You must understand that when a case goes to trial (court) the workcover insurance company will hire competent defense counsel (lawyers) to do anything possible to either reduce the potential verdict or even to win the case outright. In some cases, "errors" are made during the course of trial that result in an appeal. If the insurance company loses this case and has to pay significantly more than the offer on the table, they may decide to appeal the case, which will drag it even further into the future. Also, you must remember that any amount of recovery is reduced by legal' fees and additional court costs. So, if you go to court and win $5,000 more than the last offer on the table, you will receive only a fraction of that amount and possibly less. If you settle your case now, you will receive a check (within 6 or so weeks). If you decide that you want to go to court, all you have left is a disputed lawsuit with at least a 12 to 18 months wait before you even walk into the courtroom.
I (the injured worker) believe that you reduced the potential value of my settlement. Why didn't you ask for more?
Many injured workers believe that the more you ask for in a settlement counter-offer, the more the insurance company will offer you at the time of settlement. This is not true. High figures are reserved only for catastrophic injuries where the worker has been severely injured and the liability (=negligence) is clear-cut. The figure your lawyer requests for settlement is based upon logic, reason, and experience as to the potential verdict your case may have in a court of law. In addition, when you accept a settlement out of court you do NOT have to repay all your weekly payments! For some injured workers this can be a substantial amount (say 3 years at $40,000 a year = $120,000 – or 5 years at $30,000 = $150,000!!!). You lawyer will generally request a settlement figure PLUS KEEP (wich means you keep your received weekly pay AND your lumpsum).
What's of extreme importance to know is that, at least in VIC, if the court (Judge/Jury) awards you less than the statutory offer (made in the mediation/negotiation by the Defense) then the injured worker becomes liable for the cost of the legal proceedings for the other party as well! (*) Which may leave you in debt! So there is only a measly 10% margin, not much room for speculation indeed!
- if the judgment or order is for not less than 90% of the worker's counter statutory offer but greater than the agent's (or employer's) statutory offer, the agent (or employer) must pay all costs
- if the judgment or order is equal to or less than the agent's (or employer's) statutory offer the worker must pay all costs
- if the judgment or order is less than 90% of the worker's counter statutory offer but greater than the agent's (or employer's) statutory offer each party must pay their own costs

It is easy to find a plethora of diving spots full of surprises in the Azores Archipelago.
On São Miguel Island, you can dive to the Dori wreckage, a cargo ship which participated in the landing of Normandy and sank in the 1980's next to Ponta Delgada, or observe large groups of mantas or shoals of large pelagic fish close to the shore in spots like Baixa da Sabrina, Lourenços or Panela, with its subaquatic caves surely to mesmerize you.
On Terceira Island you can dive in a spot, which has also been witness to history, the Anchor Cemetery in the Archeological Subaquatic Park of Angra do Heroísmo, where you will find a centenarian sunken ship, the Lidador, the Arcadas do Judeu, where you can see a geological formation similar to Ireland's Giant's Causeway or Santa Catarina, a location with a wide variety of species.
On Faial Island there are also some exciting diving spots, such as Gruta dos Camarões or Furnas do Monte da Guia, only for advanced divers, or Canhões de Entre Montes, where you can find interesting archeological remnants. Lastly, Espalamaca Norte is a spot full of variety of fish species where you can observe light bubbling in the ocean water, a sign of volcanic activity on Faial Island.

Small to medium sized deals continue to dominate, several larger sized deals to boost the market
Hong Kong will continue to see robust IPO activity in the second half of 2017 driven mainly by small to medium sized listings, while several larger sized deals will fuel total fundraising to hit HKD170 billion by the end of 2017, according to KPMG forecasts.
In the first half of 2017*, Hong Kong recorded 69 IPOs, almost doubled from the 38 IPOs recorded over the same period of time last year. However, total fundraising increased by only 22 percent to HKD53 billion from HKD43.5 billion in 2016 H1 due to the dominance of small to medium sized IPOs.
Three quarters of Main Board IPOs raised less than HKD1 billion, dragging the average IPO deal size down to HKD1.5 billion - the lowest first half figure since 2013. In addition, more than half (35) of the total IPOs recorded in the first half were in the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM). GEM listings add up to HKD2.5 billion, or less than 5 percent of total proceeds, finds KPMG analysis.
Maggie Lee, Partner, Head of Capital Markets Development Group, Hong Kong, KPMG China, says: "We expect IPO activities to remain active in the second half with small to medium sized deals continuing to dominate the market. The latest consultation to tighten GEM listing requirements and the subsequent adjustment to the existing Main Board eligibility criteria may lead to an influx of applications for both Main Board and GEM listings in the interim. In addition, several larger sized IPOs in the pipeline would also help boost the market."
KPMG forecasts there will be around 80 Main Board IPOs and 70 GEM IPOs worth a combined HKD 170 billion for the full year in Hong Kong.
In a bid to broaden the accessibility of Hong Kong's capital markets and strengthen its listing regime, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange recently kicked off the public consultation process for establishing a New Board targeting companies from 'new economy' sectors. The consultation also includes proposals to review the GEM, as well as amend the listing rules of both GEM and the Main Board.
Lee comments: "It is important for Hong Kong to review its positioning as a leading capital market in light of the intensifying competition globally. Many tech companies have been in favour of US listings where dual class shareholding structures are allowed. The proposed establishment of a new board would attract more start-ups, emerging and technology companies to list in Hong Kong although it is imperative for the city to maintain its high regulatory standards and strong investor protection regime."
The A-share IPO market, on the other hand, had a strong 2017 H1. Up to 247 companies floated their shares on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, which already surpassed the number of IPOs for full year 2016. This is also the highest first half figure in 10 years. Meanwhile, total fundraising stood at RMB 125.4 billion, which is more than four times over 2016 H1.
Charles Wan, Partner, Head of the Capital Markets Development Group, Northern China, KPMG China, says: "The consumer markets and industrials sectors led in terms of funds raised. This is in line with the government's desire to deleverage companies within both sectors due to their heavy reliance on bank borrowings. The technology sector continues to play a big part in A-share IPOs with a 20 percent market share."
IPOs were approved at an accelerated pace for most of 2017 H1 although the approval rate has gone down to 81 percent in the second quarter from around 90 percent in 2016 Q4.
KPMG expects IPO activity to continue to be strong in the second half of the year as the regulators continue to focus on clearing the pipeline. The number of active applications has gone down from 681 at the end of 2016 to 549 as at 15 June. New A-share listings are expected to hit a 10-year high of around 400, raising approximately RMB 220 billion in 2017.
*Note: All 2017 H1 figures are based on a combination of data (as at 15 June 2017) and KPMG projections
KPMG China operates in 16 cities across China, with around 10,000 partners and staff in Beijing, Beijing Zhongguancun, Chengdu, Chongqing, Foshan, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao, Shanghai, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Xiamen, Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR.

In 1992, KPMG became the first international accounting network to be granted a joint venture licence in mainland China. KPMG China was also the first among the Big Four in mainland China to convert from a joint venture to a special general partnership, as of 1 August 2012. Additionally, the Hong Kong office can trace its origins to 1945. This early commitment to the China market, together with an unwavering focus on quality, has been the foundation for accumulated industry experience, and is reflected in the Chinese member firm's appointment by some of China's most prestigious companies.

Sketchbooking can be an art form, one that can help artists evolve beyond the medium of pen and paper. We're constantly seeing new forms of expression from students who have been willing to take new creative risks thanks Sketchbook Skool, whether it's quilting, cooking, or creating with a tool they've never used before.
We'd like to spotlight a few really cool things our students have been making lately.
Eve Miller (art shown above) found a passion for printmaking and documented her exploration of these materials through reproducing drawings from homework assignments as relief prints.
Linda Kelly (art shown below) began creating 3D objects after taking some kourses at Sketchbook Skool. She mustered the courage to take an in-person workshop on textiles and found-objects in her hometown — something she never would have even considered before studying at Skool. Linda began to develop her landscape drawings and sketches into a tactile and ephemeral quilt.
Eve and Linda show us what is possible once you take that first courageous step in your creative journey. One drawing can easily turn into a sketchbook full of art, which in turn can inspire so many more projects and ideas. We can't wait to see where your drawings take you!
—Morgan Green, Dean of Students at Sketchbook Skool

Jet Black or Tan? How Do You Like Your Marshmallow Toasted? [POLL]
There are few things more enjoyable on a beautiful Colorado evening than sitting around a fire and roasting marshmallows with your friends and family. We recently got a fire pit in our back yard for this purpose..oh and I guess the fire is pretty too. My whole family enjoys the tasty treats but we all have different methods of making our mallows.
There are several ways to prepare your marshmallow. There are those people who just jam it in the fire and let it burn to blackened crisp. I am one who constantly rotates and examines my mallow until it reached a perfect evenly browned appearance. How about you? How do you like your marshmallow roasted?

Marrickville is the suburb settled upon for the soon-to-open Ona coffee project, which is slated to arrive in Sydney in March or April.
Founded by the 2015 World Barista Champion Sasa Sestic, Ona started as a single roaster in Canberra, before expanding to four cafes, a burgeoning national wholesale coffee operation and a sustainable sourcing program, Project Origin. Now, a permanent home in Sydney is on the cards – an espresso bar offering a small, curated food menu, a barista training facility and a wholesale outpost.
But for head barista Isaac Kim, at Ona Marrickville, food isn't the focus. This is a venue to allow him to share his passion as a coffee professional one-on-one with the customer, and to deliver a "serious coffee experience" that enhances both understanding and enjoyment.
"We've designed the layout of the cafe to minimise the barrier between barista and customer, to make it a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere. I hope it will provide a forum for our guests to connect with the baristas."
The space will be minimalist, but warm and inviting, with a central communal table housing most of the coffee-making equipment so guests can watch the theatre of coffee-making. In addition to the roaster's regular blends and weekly single origin coffees, visitors will be able to sample a range of reserve coffees, and enjoy them with tasting insights from the staff.
Ona Marrickville will open in March/April.

I'm not extravagant, but I like some nice things. Nothing wrong with that. I like things that look pretty and smell nice. That's OK. Except I also have two little boys which means I'm eaten out of house and home (disposable cash an issue), I can't have nice things (everything is a light sabre or a shield and anything else is just collateral damage) and everything always smells like wet dog.
So I keep a reed diffuser in each toilet. Mine has a lovely citrus smell that makes you feel like you're gambolling through country fields in the sunshine. The one in their toilet is just to try and override the smell of whatever that is.
The reed diffusers have long since bitten the dust and like all normal people, they have been sitting on the bathroom shelf gathering dust. Can't afford to replace them because, you know, food. But hey, I think, surely you can make your own?
Like all things when you look into them, it's way easier than you think. I gathered all the bits (see exhibit A below) and My Mate Jessie came round with Tim-Tams (not pictured…..) and we had a go at putting it together.
I'd also been trying to find an essential oil recipe for small boy bathrooms and nothing seemed to quite fit the bill until I found a lady who had a recipe for covering damp and well, unpleasant dog smells. Bingo, I think.
So first, for a diffuser, the bad dog/small child odour neutralising recipe is:
- 1 drop melaleuca/tea tree
- 1 drop cilantro
- 1 drop lime
- 2 drops lemon
In the reed diffuser, here's the process and costs so you can see how much less recycling and making your own liquid is:
- Bottle $0 because I used the old one. Although there are cheap candle making shops in Australia that sell bottles for this for a few dollars
- 5 Bamboo reeds $1 – I bought a pack of about 15 from one of the candle making shops in Australia.
- 1/4 cup carrier oil. I used fractured (liquid) coconut oil because it's easily available at the local shops. It's $13 for 500ml which is just over 8 portions so $1.62 for 1 reed diffuser.
- 25-30 drops essential oil. I upscaled the odour recipe from above to 5 drops of tea tree, cilantro and lime and 10 drops of lemon. Based on a per drop cost, this came to under $2 for the essential oil for one reed diffuser.
- 1-2 tablespoons perfumers alcohol, rubbing alcohol or vodka. I used rubbing alcohol which was $10 at the local chemist. As long as it's 90-95% alcohol. The rubbing alcohol I got has 23 tablespoons in it so 43c for 1 reed diffuser
Considering it cost me $20 to buy the reed diffuser in the first place and likely easily that again for a new (half way decent) one, that brought the cost of recycled and homemade to under $4.75. Winning!!!
Here's the steps:
- Add the carrier oil to the bottle and then add the essential oil
- Add the alcohol and keep stirring or swilling until incorporated.
- Add the sticks and after a few hours, flip them over
- Flip the sticks every week or so and when the scent is diminished, you add the essential oils mix again – not the whole thing, just the essential oils.
So this is a great one to do with a group of friends so you can share the oil and rubbing alcohol (and maybe a glass of actual alcohol…..?).
It's also just good to get together and discover how to do things that we've become super used to outsourcing to the shops!

Multi-level Marketing – What You Should Succeed
What is keeping you against success with multi-level marketing. More than likely precisely what is preventing you from achieving success is that you simply don't understand how all this works. Why is a good marketer…along with a bad one? One of the biggest tips for success has the right information.
Keep moving ahead daily. It's sometimes very easy to sit back and let per day go by, but to be successful at multi-level marketing, you generally need to consider moving the needle. Work on your goals each day. A few minutes may be all it takes. A bit of social network sites can suffice.
Stay away from overwhelming personal relations with the multi-level marketing business. You may decide to allow them to try some examples of things you have to offer. Do not push a lot of relatives to your circle though. When you seem pushy, your relationships are affected.
Pay attention to what successful MLM folks have to mention. You will discover a community of support on the market, and you ought to immerse yourself within it. MLM success is essentially built on group effort. This is the primary reason why you ought to put your trust in others utilizing you to become successful. This will help those to become more successful Mobe Review
Set goals each and every day. In MLM you will be generally employed by yourself. This means you are responsible for the way your business performs and also you must hold yourself to high standards. This starts off with setting goals which are action-oriented and achievable. Write them down on a daily basis, and you should not deviate from their website. This should be a day-to-day habit, should you be to achieve success.
Personally test out products before you decide to market them to others. It will help you avoid selling something which will not be good quality. Get a different product to offer in the event the one you chose will not meet your standards. Even though you discover the business profitable, your long-term career is incorporated in the balance when you market inferior products.
Always recognize and reward loyalty with your customers along with your team. Staff who bring in extraordinary sales and leads deserve an added bonus. If customers order lots of product or send relatives and buddies the right path, let them have a reward. These rewards might be as a great gift certificate, a totally free product, or any other meaningful or useful item. Do not send a meaningless gesture and offend the customer.
Ensure the integrity of anybody you are doing business with mainly because it pertains to any sort of multi-level marketing is sound. Put the most concentrate on their current CEO. Does they have previous personal experience of this industry? Have a look at how the others he has been involved with fared.

SAN DIEGO — Launching his bid for a new trial, South-Central Los Angeles crack kingpin "Freeway" Ricky Ross put one of his own captors on the witness stand Thursday, accusing an INS agent of illegally supplying a green card to the Nicaraguan parolee who helped set him up for arrest.
Ross, whose conviction four years ago sparked an international furor over the U.S. government's alleged role in the drug trade, contends that the Immigration and Naturalization Service sanitized the files of Oscar Danilo Blandon, allowing the trafficker-turned-informant to obtain permanent residency despite his own cocaine-related crimes.
The agent who handled Blandon's case, Robert Tellez Jr., has already suffered an administrative rebuke and a demotion. But in U.S. District Court, where he spent nearly four hours being questioned, Tellez boosted Ross' hopes for freedom with some significant admissions.
A 26-year INS veteran, Tellez testified that he never placed records of Blandon's drug conviction in the proper immigration file, that he mistakenly told prosecutors that Blandon's green card had been approved before--and not after--his drug conviction, and that he failed to correct them when they repeated the error during Ross' original trial.

I took a sip from the devil's cup
"The heart is an interesting thing. It sees a boy and it does not care that the boy can not be yours, it does not care that what it feels is not healthy. The heart doesn't care what your brain and your senses tell you. The heart takes control and there's nothing you can do. You know that the heart drags you into places where you don't want to end up but you can't control it, you still follow it. <...> The boy takes your hand, strokes your face, looks deep in your eyes and the heart goes crazy. You become happy for a few magical moments. You forget that there's a world outside his arms. And then the boy lets go and goes back to reality and you stay in the dream. But without him the dream beacomes a nightmare. He leaves and you understand that you both will never be. As much as the heart would love it, as much as you, yourself would love it, the mind still knows it's not right. This is the moment when the pain kicks in. It feels like the boy took your heart with him when he left and there's nothing but needles where once lied your heart. <...> Even when the pain is over, you just lie there heartless, bloodless, loveless. You think of the moment when you first saw the boy, that was the moment when you felt your heart bump the first time - the moment you realized that you had a heart - and you miss the feeling of your beating heart inside of you. But even when the heart is in the boys arms, far away from your body, it still takes on more control than the mind."

Spike Jonze Discusses Kanye Short Film Leak
Director Spike Jonze is no stranger to music video innovation. In fact, he's one of the best to ever do it, visualizing classics such as the Beastie Boys' 'Sabotage,' Weezer's 'Buddy Holly' and Kanye West's totally awesome 'Flashing Lights,' where Rita G stabs Yeezy to death with a shovel as he's held hostage in the trunk of a car. Jonze's next big venture with West was a short film entitled 'We Were Once a Fairytale' - another highly stylized mishmash of gritty realism, violence, sex and animated fantasy.
The film took the Internet by storm when it made the rounds last weekend in conjunction with the release of Jonze's 'Where the Wild Things Are' - the top-grossing movie in America. Unfortunately for Jonze, there were two big problems with the release. First, the short wasn't completed yet. Second, the collaboration was set to be an experiment with iTunes distribution. Since 'We Were Once a Fairytale' leaked, Jonze has no idea how they are going to monetize the costly project. Kanye even posted the clip on his blog and then removed it when he found out it wasn't finished.
"This is the first time it's happened to me," Jonze said to the New York Times about the leak. "It is a weird feeling, like, 'Wait a second -- I wasn't ready to put that out! That's mine. Uh, no, I guess it's not mine anymore.' We rehearsed the night before we shot, and talked about trying to get to that raw place, that sad, pathetic, drunken, lost place. I told him [Kanye], the more shameless it is, the more pathetic it is, the better. He just went for it. To me, I like him. I like Kanye and I care about him. This video is a side of him. Who knows? I don't know what the reception is going to be, but I love making stuff with him. I love the guy."
The film depicts Kanye West playing himself in a drunken club odyssey. He harasses women, yells at a server and gets way too excited when his own song - 'See you in my Nightmares' off '808s and Heartbreak' - starts playing. After generally creeping out everyone in his surroundings, Ye enters into a delusional sex hallucination with a beautiful woman, wakes up alone and proceeds to vomit up an animatronic demon that stabs itself in the chest.
The real, finalized version of 'We Were Once a Fairytale' hits iTunes on October 27.

Trade marks are jealously protected by their owners. A recent case shows how even seemingly uncontroversial trade marks can be found to infringe existing trade marks and proves the need for care in such circumstances.
The case involved tyre giants Continental and Michelin. Michelin had registered the X symbol as a trade mark in connection with its products. In 2012, Continental sought to register 'XKing' as a trade mark and Michelin opposed it.
The argument turned, as these arguments do, on whether a potential buyer seeing the XKing trade mark would thereby conclude it was buying a Michelin X product.
Despite the fact that the marks look quite different and tyres generally have the manufacturer's name more prominently displayed than any other information on the tyre, the Court of Justice of the European Union concluded that a likelihood of confusion existed and that the XKing trade mark application had to be rejected.

30 Day Clarity, Confidence & Calling
Deep 5D Immersion
For emerging lightworkers, healers, and mystics who are ready to fully heed the call of their soul with limitless passion and masterful focus.
This is your solution if you are yearning to develop your intuitive powers, cultivate and master your craft, and get crystalline clarity around your highest calling so that you can begin to design an intentional and lucrative online business that honors your soul
but you are not sure where to begin, if you're really onto something or it's just a pipe dream,
or if you can really pull off this whole lightworker spiritual entrepreneur thing anyway...
I'm Daphna, and I get it.
I was in the same exact place as you not so long ago. I was feeling lost, confused, scattered - kind of like I washed up ashore after a shipwreck. But above all, I felt a deep calling inside of me that would not let me rest. I was working jobs that literally sucked my soul, living a dual life between the part of me that was a healer, an astrologer, and a lightworker, and the practical me that had to play by the rules and make ends meet. Yet I always felt I was meant to do something big, something different, something totally outside of the box. I just had no idea what my special gift was, or who in the world would be interested in what I had to say.
It took me years of devoted study, thousands of dollars invested in coaches, and so much deep inner work to get to the point I am at today. But it was all worth it because I finally feel like I'm not lost, I'm FOUND! And the best thing I did was to seek out womyn who were doing what I wanted to do deep down and learn from them, listen and observe them, walk with them awhile. We all need someone who understands us on many levels to help us see our own potential. It's the way this whole spiritual growth thing works. As above, so below, as within, so without. I believe in you more than you know, and you ARE onto something big. I know that on the other side of confusion is crystalline clarity, and you too can change your life completely when you decide to crown yourself.
Chief transformations of the Crystalline Queen Immersion:
☽ Crystalline clarity around your soul calling: why the F* you're here, who you're here to serve, and how to share your sacred gifts in alignment with your vision, passions, and desires. No more nagging self-doubt about your skills or feeling like a fraud, and definitely no more hunts for random jobs that don't light you up.
☽ Full out LIBERATION from the limiting beliefs and mindset blocks that are standing in your way, including karmic baggage! You're so over that little voice inside your head constantly sabotaging you and keeping you playing small. Seriously! It's time to rise and it begins within you. Yassss khaleesi!
☽ Supreme confidence in your gifts and your powers that will carry you onwards and upwards from here on out as you build a business that lights you up and sustains you as you continue to evolve and grow. There's something intensely powerful in knowing that you are here for a purpose and NO ONE and NOTHING can get in your way. This is where the magic happens.
☽ A tangible, practical holistic strategy for the next 3 months of your journey (mind, body, soul) as you begin to step into THE role of your lifetime: that of divine service. You don't need to figure it all out on your own, sistar. I'm going to give you all the secrets I wish I had known when I was an entrepreneurial virgin so you don't have to waste any time, money, or energy on anything that will distract you from your mission. There's so much information out there, but you only need to focus on a few key things to get where you want to be.
The Process
3 x 60 minute phone sessions + Intensive 3 hour distance healing + unlimited e-support via Voxer + 1 x 45 minute follow up call
We will journey deep into your passions, desires, fears, hopes, dreams, and energetic life patterns to unearth your BIG vision. Through shadow and light, we will call in your spirit guides and ancestral crew as well as rally the animal, plant, and mineral allies that are here to support you. This session is all about letting your truth shine wildly, honing in on what you truly desire (because let's be honest, sometimes we don't even freakin know that ourselves), and begin shifting your vibration from lost to FOUND.
In this magical, unforgettable session, I will channel the deeper messages and gems within your astrological birth chart to illuminate your inherent gifts, powers, and calling. Clients usually leave these sessions feeling a sense of ecstatic validation from the Universe and a renewed sense of self-love. A cosmic techno party inside your soul.
BONUS: ONE OF A KIND, HAND-PAINTED BIRTH CHART custom painted by my in house artist for you based on the symbols, archetypes, and themes of your birth chart will be provided for you to cherish forever as a sacred reminder of your divine powers and your cosmic bloodline. My royal gift to you.
Let's take all those brilliant ideas whirling around your head and ground them into the earthly plane. This week we will be grounding all the new energy, teachings, breakthroughs, and shifts into a holistic strategy for your next steps over the next 3 months as you prepare to step into the role of healer/lightworker and serve your tribe in your fullest presence ever.
Powerful unicorn + dragon reiki aura clearing + dolphin protection, chakra alignment and activation, and your cosmic crystal grid.
This session is the cosmic cherry on top of our journey together, when we work with my spirit guides and yours to dial in all of the new upgrades you've made, clear out all the old energy that no longer serves your highest good, and align your energy system for the next amazing phase of your life. This will be a remote session (not a live meeting).
>>You get daily e-support via our private client portal and Voxer/messenger
>>2 follow up 45 minute calls, on your time.
After completing CRYSTALLINE QUEEN, you will:
✔ Know exactly what your dream business will look, feel, and be like (the first and most important step in manifesting it!)
✔ Have a solid grasp on your unique skills and gifts as a lightworker and how to wield them for sacred money making in your soon to be business

✔ Be energetically, physically, emotionally, mentally aligned and primed to step into your role as a wealthy, lit up, and respected lightworker
✔ Have a clear, actionable, and practical plan for starting your business over the next 3 months
If you are done with running around in circles. Calling out to God in the night for a sign, any sign, about what you're meant to be doing. Looking around and not seeing what you truly want for your one and only precious life. Silencing the DRAGONESS within day after day, until a better time comes around....
NOW IS YOUR time to crown yourself CRYSTALLINE QUEEN.

A few weeks ago we weren't sure if we would be producing a new Lit & Phil Christmas card or not….then a member of staff had the brilliant idea of asking the artists from Viz to design one for us. Well, we asked and they said yes, so before long you'll have the chance to buy dozens of them! We're old friends of Viz, of course. Remember the exhibition a couple of years ago…?
The 2013 diary is beginning to look rather busy. For example, we're putting on a series of lunchtime jazz concerts (details to be announced soon), our two Latin classes will continue, and we're going to be offering Russian if there's enough interest (see forthcoming newsletter for details). We'll be working again with Tyne Bridge Publishing on several local history talks, collaborating with Northumbria University on a series in April, as well as the local branch of the Classical Association.
Tonight, Gail-Nina Anderson is finishing her Gothic Science series and people are already asking for more….what about Dracula and The Mummy and let's not forget The Wolfman? Why not, indeed….
