Sheriff Ordered to Release Gun Carry Permit Details
Posted by Terry Francke, General Counsel | Jul 6, 2011 | Legal Issue: Public Information | 0 |
A firearms fanciers' organization is jubilant over a decision by a Ventura County Superior Court judge Tuesday ordering the sheriff to make public information on who has applied to his office for a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and among those applicants who has been denied, Adam Foxman reports in the Ventura County Star. The prevailing plaintiffs in the case may thank the memory of a certain voter-removed Chief Justice of California for the leading decision that makes such information public.
The Calguns Foundation Inc. filed a lawsuit in October after the Ventura County Sheriff's Department refused to release all the records the group requested under the California Public Records Act.
The department provided much of the data but did not release documents on why concealed-weapon permits were approved or denied.
California sheriffs have discretion in deciding legitimate reasons for carrying a concealed weapon and granting permits, and the foundation wanted documents to evaluate the standards that were applied, said Gene Hoffman, chairman of the San Carlos-based nonprofit group.
The foundation, which requested the information as part of a project to help people with the permit process, also wanted to ensure the sheriff's decisions were consistent, Hoffman said.
County officials argued the withheld documents included personal information and details about applicants' vulnerabilities that could compromise their safety, and that redacting the private information as Calguns suggested would cost more than $14,600.
In a "statement of intended decision" dated Friday, Superior Court Judge Henry Walsh sided with Calguns.
Concealed-weapon permit applications contain a warning that all of the information may be subject to public disclosure, and privacy interests can be protected by redacting some information, Walsh wrote. The foundation agreed some personal details, such as Social Security numbers, could be withheld.
Citing a similar case involving CBS and Los Angeles County, the judge wrote that while releasing the information possibly could pose risks for permit holders, that danger was conjecture and not a valid reason to withhold it. Responding to the county's argument that redacting the documents would be "financially oppressive," the judge called the county's estimate that the task would take nearly 30 work days "seemingly generous." He suggested using a lower-paid administrative person to do the work rather than a sworn deputy costing the overtime rate of $68 an hour — a suggestion "not favorably received by counsel for the county," he said.
The judge ruled the county should produce the requested documents within 45 days and redact details such as when the applicant is potentially vulnerable to attack, home and business addresses, and the specific weapon authorized.
As the prevailing party, Calguns also is entitled to have its legal costs reimbursed by the county, the judge wrote.
The decision will become final unless the county files an appeal within 15 days.
Assistant County Counsel Marina Porche said Wednesday the county was analyzing the decision and had not decided whether to appeal. She would not elaborate.
"At this point, we have won the lawsuit," Hoffman said, adding he expects to receive the permit information within two months. "We're very pleased."
Calguns plans to redact applicants' names and other personal information, then post on its website portions of successful applications, he said. He said the foundation can redact more information if applicants are uncomfortable.
Calguns requested information from all 58 counties in California, and Ventura was the only one to be sued under the Public Records Act, Hoffman said.
He said about 60 percent of counties complied, 20 percent asked for administrative fees his organization considered illegal, and 20 percent refused to release information.
"I expect it's going to bring everyone else into compliance pretty quickly," he said of the judge's decision.

Recently Yale University students asked their professors to stop assigning readings from English poets, as there is a preponderance of White male poets, and the White voice has been dominant for too long.
I teach at a college where the White voice is not dominant, indeed where there is incredible diversity in a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Yet I still have assigned the Great Books, and in one class in particular, an Honors First Year Seminar class, I required students to select a Great Book of their own choosing, write a paper, and give a talk.
This assignment was color and gender blind. Students could pick any Great Book, by a woman or man, by a Black, Indian, White, Asian, Jew. My only requirement was that the book be considered by the intellectual community at large, by librarians and scholars and teachers, as a profound work of literature. Why assign such a book?
Reading a Great Book can engender in students the ability to examine a text, ask questions, seek answers, come up with a creative interpretation of what they have read, and write intelligent, critical essays, and make intelligent, critical comments, based on their reading and thinking.
Bacone College over the course of its 137 years has often sought to create the conditions under which students can achieve an excellent liberal arts education stimulating questioning, seeking, discovery, analysis, and rhetoric, which have always been the core of the Liberal Arts, which focuses on human expression and human experience over time in history, philosophy, religion, science, society, culture, government, and institutions.
The Great Books stimulates the traditional philosophy of the Liberal Arts, which was based in the Trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) and the Quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy). These seven objects of inquiry and their modern equivalent form an important foundation for an educated person who pursues lifelong learning, provides an important basis for personal philosophy, and provides tools for success in a variety of careers. Liberal Arts involves the study of those subjects that open the mind and help bring about a free people. The seven objects of inquiry—grammar (English, literature, languages), logic (philosophy, deductive and inductive thinking, theology), rhetoric (history, humanities), arithmetic (numerical reasoning and inductive thinking), geometry (spatial reasoning and deductive thinking), music (arts, studies in culture and human expression), and astronomy (the hard sciences)—form the essence of the liberal arts: to question, to seek, to learn, to know, to accept others and oneself. The medicine wheel, which is the essence of Bacone's seal, is the orientation of the campus, and has provided a philosophical basis for the college, is reflected in the Trivium and Quadrivium: spiritual seeking, emotional and natural thinking, focus on the intellect and past tradition, finding solutions to the manifold problems of life: in short, self-discovery. Students with such an education are prepared to engage in graduate level work in the humanities, social sciences, arts, and sciences; ready for careers in the public and private sectors; and educated for careers that require thoughtful, analytical, and articulate people.
The Liberal Arts is particularly focused upon a multi-cultural approach, examining cultural expressions, history, religion, society, thought, economics, and politics of Americans and other peoples of the world. Bacone College has a mission to serve American Indians and other historically under-served students in a Christian environment. As a Bacone professor, I reach out to students who are American Indians from dozens of tribes, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Caucasians, and students from around the world, eliciting from them a questioning attitude about their own heritage and those of their classmates, seeking answers amid the cultural variety that helps bring humans together.
The Great Books, an essential component of the Liberal Arts curriculum, helps students to learn to acquire knowledge about the nature of humanity, helping a person to become more reflective about the self, which helps in developing sophisticated forms of thought, such as conceptualizing human experience based on analysis rather than guesswork. Knowing more about humanity over time, students break from human credulity to have a more critical assessment of life's experiences. Increasingly in the 21st century, human organizations and institutions—corporate, educational, governmental—seek thoughtful, reflective employees who can conceptualize phenomena, understand patterns, analyze problems, form hypotheses, and suggest and implement solutions. These employees, educated people who are engaged in lifelong learning, are literate and articulate communicators.
I cut my teeth as a High School Senior and College Freshman and Sophomore on the Great Books, especially the ancient Greek, Roman, Hebrew, and Christian classics from the first millennium BC and first millennium AD. I seek to inspire students likewise to begin their pursuit of knowledge by means of a thoughtful examination of the great words of a great mind between the covers of a great book.


Want to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy in New York but have enough questions to fill a book? Well, there are some ground rules for filing New York Chapter 7 you need to be aware of, and tips you need to successfully discharge or pay back debt.
Are you eligible for bankruptcy in New York?
The two main forms of personal bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, have clear guidelines for whose eligible to file. In most all cases, you can file Chapter 13. It used to be the same with Chapter 7. With new bankruptcy code, you must now be at the median income or below in your state if you want to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
For example, if you're a single resident in New York, no matter what assets you have, but make less than $46, 523, you can file under Chapter 7 bankruptcy in New York. The larger your family, the larger the median income limit. If you make less than $57,000 and your family size is 2, you can file bankruptcy. It goes up from there, as in other states.
Sometimes you may not be eligible for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If you have more than $336,900 in unsecured debt, you cannot file. If you have more than $1,010,650 in secured debt, you are not eligible. However,if you have less than those numbers in unsecured and secured debt, as most do, you are eligible for Chapter 13.
To be sure these numbers are up to date, or for different states, you can find out the median income for your state, along with current bankruptcy code for secured and unsecured debt.
What bankruptcy is better for New York bankruptcy filers?
How do you hire a bankruptcy attorney in New York?
Hiring a bankruptcy attorney comes down to many factors, including: experience, rates, and workload.
If your attorney has little experience in bankruptcy law, even if he or she is a friend, you should hire a professional. The more experience does not always mean more rates either, but some attorneys charge you higher than others. Lastly, you don't want to hire a New York attorney who's inundated with clients; good for him or her, but can slow the process for you.
Will there be more bankruptcy changes?
There will be more bankruptcy changes at the state level, likely every year as the median income changes. For New York residents, there are alternatives to bankruptcy, but sometimes bankruptcy is your best option. If you're unsure, consult with a professional.

IsoVoxel
========

Generates isometric pixel art from MagicaVoxel .vox files.

New Project
===========

[SpotVox](https://github.com/tommyettinger/spotvox) is roughly the successor to IsoVoxel; it renders more
quickly, handles materials (including some support for emissive materials), and can handle multiple-part models.
I recommend you give it a try if you use IsoVoxel currently; colors should be handled much more consistently.

IsoVoxel will continue to exist, but I'm unlikely to update it much, or maybe at all.

Usage
=====

IsoVoxel is a command-line program (though you don't need to be familiar with the command line to use it), and
can be downloaded from this project's [Releases section](https://github.com/tommyettinger/IsoVoxel/releases).

IsoVoxel is a command-line program (though you don't need to be familiar with the command line to use it).
The simplest way to make a bunch of renders (at least on Windows) is to drag and drop a MagicaVoxel .vox file
onto `IsoVoxel.exe` in the File Explorer, which will make a new folder that shares a name with the .vox file.
There will be many images in that folder once the program finishes rendering in a few seconds, organized into
subfolders based on the scale of the images and some effects applied to them. They will all use "light"
outlining, where there is an outline around the image's silhouette and between gaps in space inside the image,
but the color is not a cartoon-style black and is instead a darker version of the nearby voxel color. You can
drag and drop animated .vox files, which will produce multiple frames in the same folder. Frames will have
their file names end with "_00.png", "_01.png", and so on up to the maximum 24 frames with "_23.png".

MagicaVoxel saves its .vox files in the vox/ subfolder of the MagicaVoxel install directory.
You should, of course, have unzipped IsoVoxel.exe from the .zip it is distributed inside before running it.
Alternatively, you can customize the rendering somewhat from the command line.
For this, use `IsoVoxel.exe file.vox x y z m o`, where the arguments are:
  - file.vox was saved from MagicaVoxel, in the vox/ subfolder usually as mentioned before; often this file is copied
    into the same folder as IsoVoxel.exe for convenience
  - x, y, and z are the bounds of the model, which can be up to 128, and don't have to match the dimensions given in MagicaVoxel;
    this can be useful to render multiple models at the same position in the images
    - these are given only as numbers, so `20 30 40` and not `x=20 y=30 z=40`
  - m is a multiplier to draw extra renders at multiples of the current size, from size 1 to size m; m defaults to 3 and can be any integer.
    - if m is negative, the larger sizes willl not be smoothed at all, and each voxel will simply become a larger cube of voxels. When m is -3, it will act exactly like when m is 3 except for not smoothing.
    - each multiplied size goes in a different folder, and the smaller renders that use smooth slopes are in a different folder from the renders that use blocky cubes
    - m is also given only as a number, like `4` and not `m=4`
  - o is an outline mode, which can be omitted and defaults to `outline=light`:
    - `outline=full` (this makes black outlines around the edge of the model and shading on inner gaps)
    - `outline=light` (which uses the shaded color instead of black for outer outlines)
    - `outline=partial` (which has no outer outlines but keeps shaded inner outlines)
    - `outline=none` (which has no inner or outer outlines).
  - if you don't include x y z it will use the size of the model as set in MagicaVoxel.
  - if you don't give a .vox file it defaults to Zombie.vox , which is included.
  - if you don't include m it will render extra sizes 1, 2, and 3.
  - if you don't include o it will use light outlining.
  - o can be placed as the last argument even if some or all of x y z have not been included.

IsoVoxel will create a subdirectory named after the model (running on Truck.vox will create a folder called Truck, or on
Zombie.vox will make a folder called Zombie) and fill it with a lot of images in subfolders, with more subfolders depending on `m`:
  - in sizeBase:
    - four for north/south/east/west (orthogonal)
    - four for the diagonals between them, rendered at a slightly different perspective (isometric)
  - in sizeAbove:
    - eight more for a mostly-top-down view of all eight directions, rendered at close to a 45 degree oblique angle as opposed to th
      "standard isometric pixel art"  26.565 degree angle; an advantage here is that all directions are about the same size and perspective
  - in sizeBaseSloped:
    - four diagonal-direction (isometric) renders at the normal size but with sloped voxels used to make the hard edges seem softer
    - four orthogonal renders at the normal size but with sloped voxels used to make the hard edges seem softer; these still have a different perspective from the isometric ones
  - in sizeSmallSloped:
    - four more diagonal-direction renders at a much smaller size, but still with sloped voxels; these may be harder to recognize if you have single-voxel details in the original models
  - in sizeBig:
    - eight images that are each double-sized versions of one of the original eight, with some extra voxels added to smooth jagged areas; these have Big in their name
  - for each size multiple m:
    - in size1blocky, and every size up to m:
      - eight images that are specially-smoothed versions of the N/S/E/W/NW/NE/SE/SW renders without sloped voxels at size m, with the smallest size having Size1 in the name and larger sizes having Size2, Size3, and so on
    - in size1sloped, and every size up to m:
      - eight images that are specially-smoothed versions of the N/S/E/W/NW/NE/SE/SW renders with sloped voxels at size m, with the names similar to the blocky multiples but with "Slope" in the name

If the .vox model is animated (and has multiple frames),  then the images listed above will be rendered for each frame, with all frames for a rendering type going in the same folder.

This comes with some .vox models to test on; Red_Fish_Animated.vox allows you to test the animation rendering.

IsoVoxel needs .NET 3.5 or higher (as of the time of writing, the current version available on Windows is at least 4.6),
and has been confirmed at least once to work on Mono (allowing it to work on MacOS and Linux).

Q: Find the total depth of every node in a binary search tree recursively? I have been at this problem for awhile now and I can't quite figure the logic. Say I have a binary tree that looks something like the following:
        8                    1 * 0 =  0
      /   \
     4    12                 2 * 1 =  2
    / \   / \
   2   6 10 14               4 * 2 =  8
                                    ----
                                     10

I want to find the depth of each node and add those numbers all together to get a total. The code I've got right now looks something like this:
private int totalDepth(Node node, int depth)
{
    if(node == null)
    {
        return 0;
    }

    return totalDepth(node.left, depth + 1) + totalDepth(node.right, depth + 1);
}

I figured this would recursively add one to each level deeper for the left side of the the tree (8 -> 4 -> 2) before traversing the right side, but it doesn't quite work.
I've tweaked this method any number of ways but can't seem to nail down what I'm missing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

A: You are almost there: you have added up the results for the left and the right subtree, but you have forgotten to add the result for the node itself:
return depth                              // myself
     + totalDepth(node.left, depth + 1)   // my left subtree
     + totalDepth(node.right, depth + 1); // my right subtree

A: public virtual int GetLevelById(int id)
        {
            int i = GetParentById(id);
            if (i == 0)
                return 1;
            else
                return (1 + GetLevelById(i));
        }

i love mascara. i truly do. i love my eyelashes. and i'm a total sucker for good marketing (and a pretty package).
when maybelline came out with their new COLOSSAL mascara, i wanted to try it. baaaaaaaaaad. but they didn't make it in freaking waterproof. so i attempted to forget about it. until i went to target the other day and SAW IT IN WATERPROOF and in a color called GLAM BLACK! how hot is that?! so hot.
holy freaking lashes... i love what it does. i love how it feels. typical waterproof mascara's make my lashes feel brittle and hard. this doesn't. it stays soft. and it's not clumpy.. AT ALL! and just look at how long my lashes are! i feel like they look like they are fake, but they aren't! i love how long they are.. i love the way they look. my lashes are super eye catching now. har har.
pay no attention to the fact that one of my eyes is opened more than the other. oh great, now that's all you see isn't it?!
LOL @ squirrel! I loved that movie.
I tried it out and it didn't have that effect on my lashes. I was peeved too. I do like the one in the orange container by cover girl, though. It's similar to that one.
Awesome! Oddly, I just posted about mascara today and discovered that my favorite brand is leaving the country. I will be in the market for a new one and will keep the one you mentioned in mind.
i've wondered about that vibrating one. somewhere, i have an ad that is just hilarious, but i don't think they meant it to be.
So I went out and bought this mascara because of your post. I have to say that you must just be born with the most gorgeous lashes EVER because mine were still just as short as usual after applying it. Nonetheless, I do like the product and it does stay put. Thanks Ster!
Those are some seriously hot lashes. nft.


This type of trust is not, strictly speaking, a trust at all.
An asset is held in the names of trustees, but the trustees only nominally own the assets within the trust. The real owners are the beneficiaries. Such trusts arise commonly when children are entitled to assets but they are not old enough to have legal authority to deal with those assets.
The trustees of a discretionary trust own the trust assets having absolute discretion to administer and distribute the assets and which applies to both capital and income of the trust. The beneficiaries only have a mere 'hope' of receiving a benefit from the discretionary trust.
The trustees are guided by a separate non-binding letter of wishes created by the 'Settlor' of the Trust as to how they would like the trustees to exercise their discretion.
The Settlor can also be a trustee but for tax purposes should never benefit from the trust assets themselves in any way.
The real advantage of this type of trust is in its flexibility allowing the trustees to take into account the changing needs of the beneficiaries and the tax legislation throughout the trust period.
This is a trust whereby a person (called the ' life tenant') is entitled to income or occupation of a property but not to capital online task manager. Such a trust may be established in the circumstances of second marriages where there are children from a previous relationship to provide for a new partner while at the same time protecting capital for their own children to inherit in due course.

Q: Touchpad not found after sleep mode/close laptop lid after last update Weird thing happened after my last update on my new laptop (Asus k401l), when it goes to sleep or when I close the lid, the touchpad is disabled and in system Settings > Input Devices > Touchpad it says "touchpad not found" in red. Worked fine before the sleep mode came on.
I have tried with no solution:

*

*using hot keys Alt+F9 (was working before sleep mode);

*reinstalling Kubuntu.

What should I do?

A: With root privileges, try to create the file /etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad. From a terminal window:
sudo -i gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad

enter you password when prompted and copy/paste this code into Gedit or another text editor:
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
    resume)
        DISPLAY=:0.0 su USER -c '/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=0' ;;
esac

and change the word USER (in the above code) with your actual username (the one that you use to log in to your computer).
Save the file, log out and back in again and test the trackpad after a suspend/resume cycle.

Top 5 ski destinations in Norway
Meet our cheef: Guest Chef
A collection of delicious Scandinavian recipes made by our guest chefs and partners.
A list of the 5 best ski destinations in Norway. With pristine snow, thousands of kilometers of trails and slopes, and an unwavering nationwide obsession, the country is tailor-made for skiing!
When talking about the nation's favorite sport in Norway, there's only one truly correct answer – skiing! With pristine snow, thousands of kilometers of trails and slopes, and an unwavering nationwide obsession, the country is tailor-made for any kind of skiing. Here we'll look at the nation's top 5 skiing destinations, both for cross-country skiing and alpine skiing!
1. Sjusjøen
In a country where skiing enthusiasts are already spoilt for choice, Sjusjøen is the top cross-country ski pick for many. Located 178 km north of Oslo and a mere 20 km to the east of Lillehammer town, Sjusjøen boasts world-class cross-country trails which attracts both the recreational skier (the likes of the Susjøen Rundt and the Gjesbusåsrunden are great for family trips and novices, while the Birkebeiner trail is a good option for the more seasoned cross-country skier) as well as the international elite professionals, many of whom use Sjusjøen as a training base.
If you prefer alpine skiing or snowboarding over cross-country skiing, Sjusjøen facilitates for this too, with slopes at all levels at Sjusjøen Skisenter.
The area plays host to many hotels and hostels – and of course cabins, for the true Norwegian experience – making Sjusjøen a very attractive destination for all.

2. Norefjell
Another great option, if you want to combine cross-country and alpine skiing in one trip, is Norefjell. Norefjell lies just 130 km northwest of Oslo, and the long season and close proximity to the capital make Norefjell a winter favorite among Norwegians. The area is situated within the Scandes mountains and is noted for its largely hilly terrain and the sprawling 26 km of alpine slopes. It also has the highest vertical drop of any ski resort in northern Europe – a massive 1010 m! However, Norefjell is well-known as a family-orientated area, and a big draw is the Norefjell ski-and spa ski school which offers a selection of activities off piste as well as top-class lessons for budding skiers.
If you rather want to go cross-country skiing, Norefjell offers 200 km of trails, for all levels. If you manage to make it all the way to Høgevarde, you will be rewarded with one of Norway's most spectacular views!
3. Oslo Marka
'Marka' is the term used for the forested areas surrounding Norway's capital, Oslo, and is a favorite among locals for activities such as fishing, hiking and of course cross-country skiing. The area is vast – a massive 2600 km of skiing track awaits you! Again, there are different difficulty levels of routes to appease both novices and veterans, and the biggest draw may be the nearly 100 km of 'lit' trail, which provides a stunning, atmospheric ski in the evenings. There are cabin cafes all along the routes – some of them only open during the night tours – where you can stop to take in the gorgeous nature around you or snack on a warm pastry.
4. Geilo
Geilo is roughly equidistant between Oslo and Bergen (little over 230 km from each) and is on the rail line between the two cities making the town easily-accessible. Famous explicitly for its skiing scene, there is 550 km of cross-country ski tracks. Cross-country isn't the only variety of winter activity on offer here either – dog sledding and ski-kiting are also hugely popular in these parts! Geilo also serves as the gateway to both the Hallinskarvet and the Hardangervidda national parks, both of which are home to animals such as reindeers and arctic foxes.
For alpine skiing, you may choose between 39 slopes, ranging from children's' slopes to the more challenging "black slopes". With a total of 35 km of slopes and 3 ski parks, SkiGeilo offers great variety.
As you can see, a small town with so much to offer, you'll never get bored in Geilo!

5. Hovden
Last but not least on our list is the winter village of Hovden – the largest ski destination in southern Norway. Located south of the aforementioned Hardangervidda national park, the village sits in the Setesdalsheiene mountains making it a natural draw for skiers. Hovden Alpinsenter boasts 33 alpine slopes, a total of 42,5 km. For cross-country skiing, Hovden offers 180 km of trails, suitable both for adults and kids. Away from the trails, you may be lucky enough to spot one of the herds of wild reindeer that roam the mountains.

Waiver Wire Pick-ups - Week 15
https://www.detroitbadboys.com/2020/1/22/21078130/detroit-pistons-vs-sacramento-kings-final-score-reggie-jackson-derrick-rose-christian-wood
It wasn't the best week in Week 14 for our suggested additions overall. Sekou Doumbouya had one stinker of a week. Don't let this mislead you though, he is still a very talented player with a high upside. Shabazz Napier has held his own in his expanded role with the Minnesota Timberwolves after the team traded Jeff Teague. Steve Kerr threw us a screwball when it came to Omari Spellman as we for sure thought he'd be the next man up with the Willie Cauley-Stein trade, but we were wrong there. Payton is the most productive player of the past week that we suggested. He's filling the stat-sheet well and I'm just kicking myself in the butt for not putting him higher on our list last week. Luke Kornet did not do much in his, what we thought to be expanded role with the Bulls' plethora of front-court injuries. However, as Lauri Markkanen is now set to miss a month, Kornet's value remains. Monte Morris has done well with Jamal Murray being out.
*To be eligible, players must be owned in less than 40-percent of Yahoo and/or ESPN leagues
Week 14 Results (Last 7 Day Average)
Sekou Doumbouya, SF/PF, Detroit Pistons - 4.8 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 0.3 SPG & 0.3 BPG in 23:45 MPG
Shabazz Napier, PG/SG, Minnesota Timberwolves - 8.3 PPG, 6 APG, 4.8 RPG & 1.3 SPG in 27:30 MPG
Omari Spellman, PF, Golden State Warriors - 8 PPG, 3 RPG, 0.5 SPG & 0.3 BPG in 18:30 MPG
Elfrid Payton, PG, New York Knicks - 10 PPG, 8.8 APG, 5.8 RPG & 1.3 SPG in 31:30 MPG
Luke Kornet, PF/C, Chicago Bulls - 9 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 0.3 SPG & 0.5 BPG in 18 MPG
Monte Morris, PG, Denver Nuggets - 7.8 PPG, 5 APG, 2 RPG & 1.3 SPG in 27 MPG
Week 15 Suggestions
Reggie Jackson, PG/SG, Detroit Pistons - Owned in 34% of Yahoo and 40.4% of ESPN leagues
First off, forgive me. Jackson misses the cutoff by 0.4% in ESPN leagues, but I'm going to include him anyhow. He's recently back after missing three months with a back injury and has been a spark to the Pistons right away. In his first game back, he scored 22 points in just 19 minutes and 14 in 23 minutes in his second game back. On top of those numbers, he's recorded four and six assists respectively. Obviously he's playing these limited minutes as the team phases him back into things after missing such an extended period of time. Before you know it, he'll be back to 30 minutes-per-game and putting up an impressive stat line. Get him now while you can, before it's too late.
Week 15 Schedule: CLE, @BKN, TOR & DEN
Trevor Ariza, SG/SF, Portland Trailblazers - Owned in 32% of Yahoo and 25.7% of ESPN leagues
Ariza is one of the hottest topics across both the NBA and Fantasy Basketball. He was recently traded to the Portland Trailblazers and was immediately placed into the team's starting lineup. In his Blazers' debut he went for 21 points and saw 36 minutes of court time. Just as he has next to James Harden in previous years, Ariza will serve as the floor spacer for Damian Lillard and C.J. Lillard. He won't be a consistent contributor, but between his big nights he has, he's a must add in fantasy.
Week 15 Schedule: HOU, @LAL & UTA
https://oklahoman.com/article/5649881/same-dude-the-thunder-played-a-large-in-jerami-grants-nba-development
Jerami Grant, SF/PF, Denver Nuggets - Owned in 38% of Yahoo and 32.9% of ESPN leagues
It's obvious that we like to look for players who spend a lot of time on the court when it comes to waiver wire additions. The more time a player spends on the court, the more chances they get to score fantasy points. Well, over the past seven days, the Nuggets' swing-man has averaged 34:14 minutes-per-game. That's an insane number. If we look at his last 14 game average he's still at 31:52 minutes-per-game. Over the past two weeks, not only is he easily exceeding 30 minutes a night, he's averaging 13.9 points-per-game, 5.1 rebounds-per-game and adds a steal and a block as well. You want a guy like this on your roster.
Week 15 Schedule: @MEM, UTA, @MIL & @DET
Marquiss Chriss, PF/C, Golden State Warriors - Owned in 5% of Yahoo and 4.3% of ESPN leagues
Many, like myself, assumed it would be Omari Spellman's spot to have when the Warriors traded Willie Cauley-Stein to the Dallas Mavericks. In the first game without WCS, Steve Kerr opted to go for Marquiss Chriss in the starting lineup, who saw 21 minutes of court time. He went for 13 points and three rebounds. It's still too early to call who is to take over that starting roll for the Warriors, as it's been just a one game sample, but as I suggested adding Spellman last week prior to the trade, we'll include Chriss this week.
Week 15 Schedule: @PHI, @BOS & @CLE
Josh Okogie, PG/SG, Minnesota Timberwolves - Owned in 6% of Yahoo and 8.1% of ESPN leagues
Okogie started his first game of some time on January 24th against the Rockets in place of rookie Jarrett Culver as he continues to be up-and-down. In that game, Okogie saw over 30 minutes for the first time in about two weeks. He routinely plays just shy of the 30 minute mark, alot of which around 27ish minutes-per-game. He dropped 17 points in that start as well. He was not in the starting lineup on Saturday when the 'Wolves played the Thunder, but at the time of writing this, he has a pretty even timeshare with Culver. It seems that the two will play pretty similar minutes and could be pretty interchangeable throughout the season. I like Okogie, especially in category leagues.

NOAA, Schmidt Ocean Institute Team To Explore And Map The Ocean
News Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
NOAA today announced it will formalize and expand its longstanding partnership with Schmidt Ocean Instituteoffsite link to explore, characterize and map the deep ocean and boost public understanding of the global ocean.
"We are living through a technological revolution that has opened new opportunities to more comprehensively understand the largely unknown ocean," said Retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, Ph.D., assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and deputy NOAA administrator. "To take advantage of this, NOAA is building and strengthening partnerships such as the one with Schmidt Ocean Institute, which will help accelerate our mission to explore, characterize and map the United States Exclusive Economic Zone, promote marine protection, and unlock the potential of valuable resources to power the American Blue Economy."
Schmidt Ocean Institute was established as a philanthropically-funded nonprofit in 2009 by Eric and Wendy Schmidt to advance oceanographic research through the development of innovative technologies, open sharing of information and broad communication about ocean health.
Since 2013, SOI's research vessel Falkor has supported more than 40 U.S. federal scientists on collaborative research expeditions around the globe and partnered with NOAA's Office of Exploration and Research on expeditions to expand mapping and data collection for U.S. marine protected areas. This work included exploration and data collection in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monumentoffsite link, Marianas Trench Marine National Monumentoffsite link, Pacific Remote Islands National Monumentoffsite link, and the Phoenix Islands Protected Areaoffsite link. These projects have resulted in jointly created maps and outreach activities including public ship tours, education campaigns and live broadcasts from the seafloor. [Watch this video about the partnership.]
"By coming together, we will accelerate how quickly we learn about our ocean not only on a national scale but also internationally," said Wendy Schmidt, co-founder of Schmidt Ocean Institute. "The ocean has been under attack for decades and we don't want to miss our last opportunities to turn this around. We need to work together—across philanthropy, government and academia—to advance scientific discovery and educate the public about our essential dependence on a healthy global ocean. This partnership with NOAA has the potential to expand the United States' ability to explore and map a larger area of seafloor and publicly share the discoveries."
The collaboration could support the recent Presidential Memorandum on Ocean Mapping in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and Shoreline and Near Shore of Alaska and the goals announced at the November 2019 White House Summit on Partnerships in Ocean Science and Technology.
The partnership could also support global ocean initiatives, including the Nippon Foundation GEBCO Seabed 2030 Projectoffsite link to map the entire seabed by 2030 and the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.offsite link
NOAA has also forged other key partnerships for ocean science and discovery with Vulcan Inc., Caladan Oceanic, OceanX, Ocean Infinity and Viking Cruises.

Philadelphia on Stone Biographical Dictionary of Lithographers
Wagner & McGuigan
Pinkerton, Wagner & McGuigan
1813 or 1814- December 11, 1863
Thomas S. Wagner, engraver and lithographer, born in Pennsylvania in 1813 or 1814, was a partner in Wagner & McGuigan, one of the premier and most prolific lithographic establishments of the mid 19th century.
Active as a lithographer from 1840, Wagner pursued publishing early in his career. In 1841, while employed by premier lithographer P. S. Duval. he established the illustrated periodical "The U.S. Ecclesiastical Portrait Gallery." Printed from Duval's studio at 7 Bank Alley, the periodical illustrated with the work of acclaimed portraitist Albert Newsam, survived for only about a year.
Wagner continued at the studio of Duval until 1844 when he partnered with Edward Pinkerton, and James McGuigan (1818/19-1874) in Pinkerton, Wagner & McGuigan. Following the departure of Pinkerton ca. 1845, Wagner partnered with McGuigan until ca. 1859 at 4 Franklin Place. The firm was prolific in the production of advertisements and an innovator in chromolithography and steamed powered lithographic printing.
In 1857, a fire destroyed the building of the firm and the partnership of Wagner & McGuigan dissolved by 1859. Wagner then continued in the trade as sole proprietor of a firm executing "Lithography in all its branches," including printing in colors. He was also one of the few publishers of wooden lithographic puzzles and received a number of commissions from the federal government. Consequently in 1859, he acted as a prime witness in the congressional investigation of the Superintendent of Printing. He also manufactured lamp shades as noted in an 1864 city directory listing.
Despite professional success, Wagner's personal life was purportedly marred by alcoholism. His 1847 endorsement as a member of "high standing in society" for the patent medicine "Dr.Cullen's Indian Vegetable Panacea" lends credence and the possible start of these troubles, which led to Wagner's death from diabetes on December 11, 1863 while a resident at 1239 North Second Street (Ward 17). At his death, his professional estate, as appraised by colleagues Louis N. Rosenthal and John Harvey, was valued at $3817.50 (about $67, 500 in 2008 dollars). It included 7 large presses, 15 small presses, 20 ink slabs, 12,500 lbs of stone above 26 inches in width ($1250), 8100 lbs of stone 16-26 inches, and 3800 lbs of stones less than 16 inches. His personal estate was valued at $4411.
Married to Ellen by 1850, Wagner resided at multiple locations in Center City and Old City, before settling in Northern Liberties by the mid 1850s. By 1860, he had married second wife Annie and he had at least two children a daughter Ellen (b. ca. 1843), a stepson George Harold Theis, and possibly a son A.G., who may have been active in the trade with his father.

Once Pluto is reached, New Horizons will do several flybys over the course of the next five months. Afterwards, depending on NASA's whims and New Horizon's remaining functionality it will try to study other Kuiper Belt objects. New Horizons actually has a spare hydrazine fuel tank for this purpose but that may not ensure functionality. The likey targets are the might-as-well-be-unnamed PT1, PT2 or PT3. Of those, PT1 is ceratinly reachable, the others potentially reachable. Interestingly enough, PT1 was discovered using Hubble images some 8 years after New Horizons was launched.

June 22 2015 by Heath Lloyd, Reidsville, N.C.
Having recently returned from the Southern Baptist Convention, June 16-17, in Columbus, Ohio, I just wanted to express how thankful I am to be a Southern Baptist. No, our convention is not perfect; it is filled with imperfect people. However, the spirit at the convention this year was remarkable. I have been attending the annual meeting since I was a 10-year-old child – 1980 in Los Angeles, Calif., – and never been to one like the one this year.
The call to prayer for revival and spiritual awakening on June 16 was real, tremendous and needed. We should have been doing this 40 years ago. This was not business as usual at the Southern Baptist Convention; we're living in desperate times. The joint North American Mission Board and International Mission Board commissioning service on June 17 will go down as a highlight in my Christian life. Laying hands on a missionary called to Asia, and praying for him as he goes forth, was powerful.
The preaching, the singing, and even the reports were good. It is encouraging in this day and age of moral confusion and compromise to be part of a denomination that knows where it stands – on the truth of God's Word, yet reaching out in love to the lost and perishing with the Good News of Jesus. I express deep appreciation to Ronnie Floyd and the team that planned our time together.

O Estádio Aníbal Torres Costa, ou simplesmente Aníbal Costa é um estádio de futebol localizado na cidade de Tubarão, no estado de Santa Catarina.

Pertencente ao Hercílio Luz Futebol Clube, o estádio foi utilizado pelo clube no futebol profissional até 1995, ano que o clube licenciou-se dessas atividades. Nesse ano, o Tubarão Futebol Clube passou a mandar seus jogos nesse estádio.

Em 2005, duas semanas após o Tubarão anunciar o seu licenciamento, o Hercílio Luz quase perdeu o estádio, seu maior patrimônio, que foi a leilão para saldar dívidas.

Em 2008, com o retorno do clube tubaronense ao futebol profissional, o estádio voltou a ser utilizado por esse.

Em 2009, foi emprestado ao Clube Atlético Tubarão, que não podia usar o Estádio Domingos Silveira Gonzales, onde mandou os jogos na Divisão Principal do Catarinense.

Em 2018, o estádio foi vendido por aproximadamente 12 milhões de reais para a 3-Sm Administração de Bens, de São Ludgero.

Até 2021 o Hercílio Luz]poderá continuar mandando seus jogos no estádio. Com o dinheiro da venda, o clube pretende adquirir um novo terreno e construir um novo estádio, além de ampliar suas atividades sociais.

(NCC) to order a recall of processed meat products manufactured by Enterprise (a division of Tiger Brands) and by Rainbow (a division of RCL Foods).

Retailer and Manufacturer members of the CGCSA have instituted immediate removal and recall of all products affected in compliance with the directive from the National Consumer Commission (NCC). This is because the safety and health of consumers is of paramount importance and our members will fully comply with the recall directive.
swabs needed for microbiological testing where necessary.
CGCSA members also have ongoing routine testing schedules in place to monitor all food products for pathogens and to take action if these organisms are detected. The members have, as a result of the latest outbreak, taken additional precautionary measures to ensure the safety of food products sold to consumers.
The CGCSA is also reiterating the advice from the Minister of Health to urge consumers to adhere to the strictest hygienic and food safety practices.This includes washing hands, cook food thoroughly and keep food at safe temperatures. Should consumers suspect infection as per the mentioned symptoms, we recommend that they consult medical doctors to understand the cause of their symptoms. Our concern is always the health of consumers and our members will not compromise on this. The recent outbreak of Listeriosis is both unfortunate and regrettable given the reported deaths and illness of consumers.
Consumers are advised to follow recall information to identify affected products and to avoid food waste. Once products are identified by their batch code to be provided through the company recall information. Products can be cooked thoroughly before consumption and immediately consumed or disposed of in a manner to avoid environmental contamination. We would like to reiterate the Minister's advice that refrigerators and environments that were in contact with contaminated foods be cleaned with water containing bleach before new products are stored.
Listeriosis is usually spread through the ingestion of contaminated food products most frequently with raw or unpasteurised milk and soft cheeses, but also vegetables, processed foods, ready-toeat meats and smoked fish products. Listeria can survive in normal temperatures associated with refrigeration (4°C). The Listeria bacterium can also be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby during pregnancy or at the time of birth. Direct contact with the organism can cause skin lesions.

JLA: Act of God is a three issue limited series published by DC Comics under the Elseworlds banner in 2000. It is written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Dave Ross.

The story is a psychological look at what could happen to many superheroes if their powers were taken away by an unseen natural event, and has them pondering whether it is right for them to have powers in the first place.

Plot

On May 23, 2000, an event called the "Black Light" causes all technology on Earth to stop working for a split second - and also permanently robs every superpowered being on the planet of their powers. The cause of the Black Light is never revealed. Heroes  such as the Flash, Green Lantern, and Superman are haunted by their fall from grace: Wally West, formerly the Flash, was unable to save a policeman  from being shot in the head; Clark Kent, formerly Superman, could not stop a dam from bursting and destroying a town; and Kyle Rayner, formerly Green Lantern, was beaten by the supervillain Sonar, an event which drives him to obsession. J'onn Jonzz, the Martian Manhunter, now stuck in his Martian form, questions whether some individuals should have special powers,  and believes the Black Light event happened to teach superheroes that just because they save lives doesn't mean they need powers to do so.  Other depowered heroes, such as Rex Mason, formerly Metamorpho, see this as a turn for the better now that they are human again. Heroes who never had to rely on superpowers, such as Batman, and heroes who use technology such as Steel, Booster Gold, and Blue Beetle, are forced to pick up the slack when criminal activity spikes.

Meanwhile, the technological supervillains are now in charge of the crime scene, and the only thing in their way is the nonpowered heroes. Toyman launches an assault on LexCorp in a giant robot to try and kill Lex Luthor, and Steel, despite having been critically injured during the Black Light event, tries to stop him. Toyman kills Steel by making his robot stomp on him.  When Booster Gold and Blue Beetle arrive on the scene, Toyman reveals he has other tech-focused supervillains hidden inside the robot and destroys Booster and Beetle's weapons. The tech villains abandon Toyman when the National Guard arrives, because they were paid by Lex Luthor as a doublecross. Toyman is stopped by the combined forces of the National Guard and Hawkman, and Luthor comes down to gloat to Toyman.

Things are not going well for some of the retired heroes. Clark agrees to split with Lois Lane who is upset at him being a self-loathing drunk, and he later moves in with Diana Prince, formerly Wonder Woman. Green Lantern becomes obsessed with finding a way to defeat Sonar, and Linda Danvers, formerly Supergirl, finds working as a cop insufficient to bring justice to criminals. Natasha Irons finds that someone stripped Steel's lab down to nothing, and Blue Beetle and Booster Gold have had their weapons stolen.

Nearly a year after the Black Light event, Supergirl, at a meeting with Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and the Flash, brings up the idea of still being heroes despite losing their superpowers. She dubs the former superheroes the Phoenix Group because like the mythical phoenix they plan to rise from the ashes. The four of them begin training with Batman and other non-super heroes. Flash leaves for a while and goes to the Flash Museum, but comes back when he learns that people are forgetting what the heroes meant.

At Zen-Gen Biotech Systems Inc., Ray Palmer, formerly the Atom, signs up for an experiment to regain his ability to shrink, despite the fact that his powers came from a belt. The scientists manage to grant Ray the ability to shrink, but he becomes stuck at six inches and the scientists place him in a dollhouse. While there, he learns the scientists are employed by Lex Luthor and that with this research they can sell superpowers to anyone who can pay. Ray tries to call J'onn, but J'onn cannot hear him because he is still small. He then leaves a message in a table in the dollhouse before he starts shrinking down into the table's subatomic structure, but he starts to grow back too fast and causes a miniature atomic blast, which proves fatal to Ray. Needing more test subjects, Luthor has a group of villains, led by the Joker, kidnap Metamorpho, Booster Gold, and Blue Beetle.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Group finishes their training, and reveal their new identities. Supergirl is now Justice, Aquaman is now the Hand, Flash is now Red Devil, and Martian Manhunter is now the Green Man. They begin investigating Ray Palmer's death.

Clark leaves Diana when she starts to believe that all that has happened is merely a test from God and that her powers will return when it ends. Clark winds up living on the street, but receives some money in a homeless shelter from a priest. He sees firefighters rescue someone from a burning building, then moves to a secluded home in the woods.

The Phoenix Group and Batman, with help from Oracle, discover the truth behind Atom's death when Justice finds his message on the dollhouse table. They then learn of the abductions of Metamorpho, Booster Gold, and Blue Beetle. The Group, along with Nightwing, head for S.T.A.R. Labs, where the Zen-Gen scientists are currently working. They find the kidnapped heroes and get into a battle with the tech villains. The Group is victorious in its debut, and the villains are arrested along with Lex Luthor.

In a final note, Kyle Rayner faces off against Sonar one last time and soundly defeats the villain, but dies when Sonar impales him on a shaft of wood. Clark goes back to Diana and stops her from killing herself. The two marry, Clark goes back to his job at the Daily Planet, and the Phoenix Group looks toward the future.

Two years later, Clark and Diana have a healthy baby boy who, unbeknown to the two of them, has the ability to transform matter into whatever he wants. With his birth, he opens the door to many possibilities.

Criticism
Reviewers have heavily criticized the irrational characters and severe idiot plot tendencies. The complete destruction of Clark Kent and Lois Lane's relationship was heavily questioned, as was the sudden complete abandonment of both Superman and Wonder Woman's heroics and ideals. The book has also been criticized for elements that seem to glorify Batman and his methods, particularly the sequence where several depowered heroes go to him for guidance to be heroes again.
Doug Moench's knowledge on the DC Universe and its characters at the time has also been called into question.

Social Media Platforms Can Be Built Around Quality, Not Scale
Can you measure thoughtfulness, warmth, and the value of ideas?
Lydia Laurenson
April 06, 2017, Updated April 10, 2017
There is no "New York Times of social media." But there are some social network companies seeking to stake out "high-quality" territory. The most common approaches are to specialize in either high-quality information, or to specialize in deep, emotional relationships. Although there's surely a user-base for a high-quality social media platform — whether it's a a "warmer" or "more vulnerable" platform, a "luxury" or "intellectual" platform, or the social equivalent of a trade publication — the challenge is not market demand. It's the metrics and business model. Quality is always difficult to measure, and the few social firms who have tried to pursue it have struggled to scale. But perhaps scale, in this case, isn't about creating a massive, Facebook-sized platform; perhaps it's about a proliferation of smaller, niche platforms.
In the traditional media industry, some outlets differentiate themselves through quality, but social media hasn't gotten there yet — there is no "New York Times of social media." The modern landscape for newspapers and books resulted from centuries of evolution, but "new media" hasn't yet developed such strong brands and categories.
However, although there aren't any dominant players, there are social network companies seeking to stake out "high-quality" territory. The most common approaches are to specialize in either high-quality information, or to specialize in deep, emotional relationships. Of course, people do use existing comms and social software to manage quality information and close relationships — the beloved chat app Slack is widely used by couples and families, for example. But Slack is generally aimed at the enterprise market and doesn't specialize in intimate relationships. Similarly, Facebook doesn't specialize in purveying journalism, even though almost every news company posts articles on Facebook.
Although many companies have come and gone in this space, the problems they're trying to solve have recently become urgent. They're urgent both for the public, which is increasingly aware of social media's pitfalls — from privacy issues, to trolling, to viral political propaganda — and for social platforms themselves. Indeed, Mark Zuckerberg himself just posted a long letter on his Facebook profile vowing to support community leaders who use Facebook as a platform, strengthen the news industry, and so on (though this letter also had its critics).
Could specialized social media handle these functions better than the dominant players? What might a high-quality social media platform look like? How about a "warmer" or "more vulnerable" platform? How about a "luxury" or "intellectual" platform? How about "trade publication social media" — or a platform that serves non-professional yet well-defined niches? And of course: What's the business model for any of the above?
It's proven hard to solve these problems partly because of metrics: It's hard to identify and measure the factors that lead to high-quality information or connection. In fact, it's difficult to identify and measure quality in media of any kind.
Technologists often discuss the problem of "vanity metrics." Vanity metrics are methods of measuring ROI that make product-builders feel good (or make them look good to funders), but don't ultimately lead to awesome products. In journalism, for example, the pageview is a much-maligned metric. Many publishers count an article's success by the number of times a page is loaded (partly because many ads are sold based on pageviews) — yet many people argue that pageviews are a vanity metric. Indeed, journalists discontented with the pageview model write articles with titles like "Pageview journalism is killing us," and refer to the Pageview Industrial Complex.
This conversation recently flared up around Medium, a publishing platform with many social platform features, after it laid off 50 people in January. Medium's founder, Ev Williams, wrote publicly that the layoffs were inspired by Medium's decision to move away from an ad-supported business model, because "people who write and share ideas should be rewarded on their ability to enlighten and inform, not simply their ability to attract a few seconds of attention." In other words, Williams concluded that ad-supported models were encouraging both product designers and creators on the Medium network to focus on pageviews, and that was bad.
In support of Williams' announcement, one of Medium's investors, M.G. Siegler at G.V., wrote:
2 billion words written on Medium in the last year. 7.5 million posts during that time. 60 million monthly readers now. Pageviews galore. So step 2 is simply to slap some banner ads on the site, while step 3 is to profit, right? The reality — perhaps hard to see in the midst of such numbers — is that it behooves no one to simply continue down a path if you know the end result isn't ultimately going to be successful. And so, the prudent yet extremely difficult move is to swallow your prideful metrics and course correct.
… Numbers — even insanely impressive numbers — can deceive. They can deceive when the goal is not actually to build the site with the most pageviews on the internet…. It's not enough to simply be big. That's part of the equation, to be sure. But just as vital is continuing to innovate on core product and experience while also building a sustainable model to make sure that all sides (publishers and readers) are deriving value — actual value — from the content, for the long-term.
Many other social media platforms are monetized through ads and their views, which makes them vulnerable to the same problems Siegler describes above: Prideful metrics and pressure to scale. And so, just like Medium, there's widespread pushback against those metrics among companies that envision building social networks to deliver deep value over the long term. In fact, some companies resist this pressure by refusing to take venture money at all, since venture funders can sometimes put pressure on companies to scale fast.
So what are the metrics for high-quality social media?
In the digital content publishing world, I often direct people to the free ebook "The New World of Content Measurement," published in 2014 by the combined content marketing agency + platform Contently. (I wasn't involved in the production of that ebook, but it's still good!) The ebook identifies both vanity metrics, and metrics that content companies can try if the goal is to deliver long-term ROI. These longer-term metrics are: 1) "Engaged Time" (a reader's attention, measured by things like scrolling and highlighting); 2) "Readers and Returning Readers" (number of readers coming back to the content, and their engaged time across sessions); and 3) "Average Finish" (the percentage of visitors who finish reading the story).
Can these content metrics be applied to social media? Some work across both content and social (for example, Returning Users and Engaged Time). Yet these metrics, while arguably better than pageviews, can still lead product-builders astray. For instance, a digital media product might have a high Engaged Time because it's addictive, rather than because people get deep and long-term value from it.
So: What metrics could measure thoughtfulness, warmth, harmony, or the value of ideas that emerge from a conversation? Perhaps limiting the amount of information that users disseminate through a platform can reduce noise and encourage users to see the act of sharing as valuable. Accordingly, one strategy is to limit users to posting one link per day. Of two companies that have tried this, one of them, This., has folded; the other, Catchpool, is still operating. (Both launched in 2014.)
Another way of thinking about noise reduction is to force users to apply to the network, or to focus on specialized material — "trade publication social networks," if you will. Quibb, for example, both requires users to apply and bills itself as "a professional network to share industry news and analysis" within the tech industry. (Full disclosure: Quibb is a former client of mine.)
Alternatively: If users invest a lot of time helping a community, if they volunteer to maintain or moderate it, or if they pay a subscription fee to support it, then it's clearly valuable to them, and those metrics are hard to hit but not hard to measure. There are some old-school digital communities that survive on models like this, such as MetaFilter, a community website founded in 1999. MetaFilter used to support itself on Google AdSense, but changes in Google's algorithm forced it to look for another model in 2014, and now subscriptions are a critical part of MetaFilter's business model.
Then there's software like Mighty Networks, which launched in 2011 to support many niche, focused social networks. Founded by Gina Bianchini as Mightybell, who previously partnered with Marc Andreessen to found Ning (early software for niche communities), Mighty Networks enables community creators to monetize their communities as they see fit. It offers customizable tools for that — for example, a community creator might wish to use subscriptions, or she might wish to use sponsorships, and Mighty Networks' software can support either or both of those options.
In this way, Mighty Networks seeks to align its business model with the business incentives of users who create and maintain small, devoted communities. As Bianchini said to me by phone, "As a platform for identity and interest networks, it's our job to make community creators a lot of money. That's pretty different from targeted ads as a business model. We aren't a centralized social media feed that tries to be all things to all people."
From this philosophy emerges a service model for community creators. This is also expressed in Mighty Networks' customizable features, which each community creator can turn on and off — and that means that the ideal metrics might differ from community to community within Mighty Networks. For example, Mighty Networks creators can enable their community members chat in different ways; a creator can choose photos, text messages, videos, or any combination of the three. "The future of shared interest and identity is allowing community creators to customize the platform to enable new connections," Bianchini told me.
Ultimately, the social platform software that wins territory like "the best information" or "the deepest relationships" may not scale to a billion users — and that might be okay. It may stay small, or scale one small community at a time.

PREMIERE: Papaya Tree – Covered In Weeds (Dir. Harry Scott)
It's an experience somewhat universal to people who are chasing a career in the arts. There is your passionate artistic self, the one that sees the world and funnels it into creativity, putting everything you have into your art. Then there is the self that exists to pay the bills, often stifled and unmotivated. So how do those two selves co-exist?
For Papaya Tree vocalist Lee McDermott, it wasn't as much about co-existence as it was a complete clash of his two personalities that inspired the band's latest single 'Covered In Weeds', an appraisal of that personal struggle which he did not realise at the time was so omnipresent in the industry: "We didn't set out to write a song about universal, I wrote a song that was relevant to my struggle to balance what seemed right to me but the more we got to discussing what the song was about, we realised that a lot of people were tossing between their professional lives and making time for their creative selves – I felt pretty alienated at the time like I was wasting my band's time by taking on a 9-5 job but the more we started speaking to more bands, the more common the struggle felt."

'Covered In Weeds' musically feels slightly at odds with itself too. There is a sinister air to the restrained baritone vocal lines in the verse, especially when paired with the precise and ominous low-key guitar work, only to then give way to an uproarious fanfare of brass in the chorus. McDermott tells of the conceptual motivation behind this approach: "We always consider what every instrument is playing and how it serves the song; the darker and dissonant guitar and vocals is juxtaposed with the bright horns to symbolise the split between the two mindsets of the story – the glitchy drums in the outro also serve the story, creating a climax of distress in the lyrics. Whenever we sit down to write, we make sure that instrumentally the parts support the storyline of the lyrics."
Director Harry Scott had an interesting job ahead of him when it came to creating the video for 'Covered In Weeds', with so much concept in the song both musically and lyrically. Scott's visualization consists of shots of busy pedestrian areas in Singapore, intercut with file footage of old commercials and advertising, hinting at a greater idea of the rat race and the permeation of capitalism throughout our society. Scott elaborates: "Even when the band and I were in early discussions about the clip, there was always going to be a touch on 'suits' or 'the rat race' in some capacity. We just weren't sure to what extent at the time."
The addition of the old advertisements makes for an intriguing take, giving a meaning to the footage of these hordes of swarming people who rush about their day, occasionally depicted moving in reverse. Scott discusses the process of putting the clip together: "I've always played around with old school PSA's, advertisements, and commercials. Even just watching them in my spare time. I love how the messages and themes (and even production) are a vignette of a yesteryear. Whilst looking for footage, I was trying to find sequences that both reflected and contrasted the modern rat race. For example, 'sell the sizzle, not the steak' still applies to modern marketing today. As for the reversing aspect, I believe that was something the band put forward during the initial stages of the edit. We felt it was something needed during the song, mainly the chorus."
