Copyright Act Review: Authors and publishers must benefit more from the online exploitation of their works
Last week, the Federal Council has adopted a dispatch on the new Copyright Act. SUISA is in principle content with the current version of the law. The solutions achieved in the working group for the Copyright Act (AGUR12 II) were implemented. In order for authors, performers, publishers and producers to benefit better from the digitisation, it is necessary to adopt important additions. The "Transfer of Value", for example, is extremely disappointing for creators and artists: Internet giants' platforms continue to be the ones that cash in on the online exploitation of music and films. Creators and artists – and thus the suppliers of the content – are almost left empty-handed. Text by Andreas Wegelin, CEO
The Copyright Act urgently requires provisions for the online exploitation of works protected by copyright. The value creation nowadays completely passes by creators and artists – and thus the producers of the content. It is especially the powerful internet industry that benefits strongly thanks to the revenue from advertising and usage data. (Image: yaichatchai / Shutterstock.com)
Many creators and artists, users' associations and other target groups are likely to have received the current version of the Copyright Act with relief: The legal text is a giant step compared to the half-baked draft which the Federal Council had presented at the end of 2015, and which had caused nearly all interest groups to shake their heads. The outcome was that up to March 2016 a record number of more than 1,200 position papers were submitted. The working group on copyright AGUR12 II was also reactivated. We had already reported on this earlier this year, in March, via our SUISAblog.
Parliament supposed to blaze the trail for a modern Copyright Act
The working group is made up of creators and artists, producers, users, consumers, internet service providers, the Federal Office of Justice as well as additional representatives of the administration has obviously done a good job: In the current version, the proposals of the working group were adopted to a large extent. It is now down to the Parliament to blaze the trail for a modernised version of the Copyright Act. SUISA as well as other Swiss collective management organisations support the compromise.
This does, however, not mean that the current version does not need any improvements. On the contrary – the biggest problems of digitisation for creators and artists remains unsolved: Protected works in videos, texts, images and music data have never been used at the same intensity levels as they are today via the internet. Some major internet companies are the profiteers of this exploitation while the value creation almost completely passes by creators and artists – and thus the producers of the content.
Thanks to the internet: Music lovers can nowadays access an enormous number of films, music pieces, books and news articles, nearly from anywhere and at any time. There is no longer a need for physical work copies. The availability in the Cloud or access via streaming is now enough. Apart from online distributors such as Apple, Spotify, Netflix or Amazon, music and films are nowadays mainly shared via social media platforms such as YouTube or Facebook.
Many internet providers hardly take care of copyright
Online distributors usually take care of copyright and enter into licensing agreements with producers and collective management organisations. This leads to musicians, producers and other creators and artists to receive a remuneration for their work. In the case of intermediaries, e.g. social media platforms and aggregators such as Tunein, the situation is different. The technical services they offer also allow users to disseminate works protected by copyright. In such models where protected content is shared, the providers hardly look after the copyright. On the contrary: They regularly pass the responsibility on to the users who upload the contents.
Add to that the fact that social media platforms and aggregators are the competitors of online distributors such as iTunes or Spotify – they yield high financial gains without participating the authors adequately. A European study shows that value added for the operators of such platforms is very high thanks to works such as music and films protected by copyright. 18% of Google's income, for example, is made on the back of protected works e.g. via sponsored links. If the protected works were to fall away, the click rate and therefore the attractiveness of the search engine would drop. The value creation on platforms such as YouTube is even higher – they yield 2/3 of their turnover with contents protected by copyright – mainly from advertising, but also sales of profile data. They do, however, defer the act of clearing the copyright to those uploading the contents, even though the latter are not even in a position to do so.
A discussion on the Transfer of Value must also take place in Switzerland
Authors, the actual creators of the works, receive no or hardly any remuneration at all in the case of such platforms. This calls for urgent action. In the EU there has been a discussion on the Transfer of Value on the internet for quite some time. It is therefore high time to bring this discussion to Switzerland. Urgent measures are needed in Switzerland so that the transfer of value away from authors can be stopped – and therefore the creeping expropriation of creators and artists. Social media platforms, aggregators and search engine operators must be obligated to pay a compensation for the works used via their technical platforms.
SUISA and other Swiss collective management organisations are therefore going to introduce these important additions to the legislative process. Creators and artists must get a fairer share in the value creation on online platforms.
Swiss Copyright Review: SUISA in charge of a working group – Given the diverging reactions to the preliminary draft for the copyright law review, Federal Councillor Simonetta Sommaruga consulted the AGUR12 again in the summer of 2016 – the latter is a working group consisting of representatives from the affected sectors. The working group had the goal to look for conjoint solutions. Read more
Second attempt to review the Swiss Copyright Act – The preliminary draft by the Swiss Federal Council for a review of the Swiss Copyright Act was not able to carry a majority during the consultation. The Federal Councillor in charge, Simonetta Sommaruga, has therefore called upon a working group again. AGUR12 II is asked to work out specific legislative proposals alongside the compromise that had been achieved by AGUR12 and been in place for more than 2 years. Read more
Copyright: Quo vadis? – In December 2015, the Federal Council presented the draft for the review of the Swiss Copyright Act. At the same time, the consultation started, which is open until March 2016. Read more

Guatemala National Football Team
Among all recognized sport, football still becomes the most favourable sport almost in every country. Including Guatemala. Guatemala is a beautiful exotic country located in Central America where has six different borders: Mexico in the north and west, Belize and Caribbean in the northeast, Honduras in the east, El Salvador in southeast, and Pacific Ocean in the south.
Talking about football and situs judi poker, probably Guatemala doesn't cross your mind at the very first place. But it doesn't mean they have nothing to tell. This team has track record on their appearance in competing Olympic tournament on 1968, 1976, and 1988 Olympic Games.
The list hasn't stopped yet there. In CONCACAF Championship 1967, Guatemala won and also on 2001 their success story was recorded to be the winner UNCAF Nations Cup. Their best achievement was in CONCACAF Gold Cup 1996. They got the fourth rank there.
At the first place, Guatemala made its soccer team on 23rd August, 1902. It was 22 players but divided into two sides: white and blue.
This resilient team is well known to be called Ia Azul y Blanco or in English is "The Blue and White". They have done their debut in Independence Centenary Games in Guatemala City since 1921 and successfully defeated Honduras with 10-1.
Perhaps you feel curious about this important aspect: has Guatemala ever participated in World Cup? Well, Guatemala started becoming participant in the qualification round of World Cup in 1958. Maybe, good luck was not in their side at that moment.
They were places in the first group and should face Costa Rica and Netherland Antilles as their rival on the same group. The result said they had to be proud to be last rank and were unable to get score any single point. Even though it was unhappy fact, but they didn't lose hope on another competition.
Thank to the effort and persistence, this team could improve their performance since 1960s. it was proven by qualifying rounds. For your information, qualifying rounds is a stage for national association football team goes through FIFA World Cup finals to quality themselves.
Finally, they gained success by playing nicely with Costa Rica and get equal score (4-4), Honduras (1-1). On the other hand, since being placed in the second group, one again Guatemala got same result: finished last moment. But let's not talking on the final result only. This huge improvement was worth celebrating as achievement also.
Unfortunately, due to several administration reason, Guatemala couldn't make any performance at qualifying rounds 1966.
Still in the 60's timeline, another proof on how far The Blue and White made any progress still continued. They joined Concacaf in 1961. In 1967, for the first time in forever, they won this tournament. Can you imagine how resilience they were when they got failure in the past but rose in another moment? They also were recorded as runner up in 1965 and 1969.
To sum up, based on track record, Guatemala is recorded successfully defeating several countries in the world, including: Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, Cuba, Curacao, El Salvador, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Suriname, and Thailand.
Unfortunately, this team still need way more effort to beat this several countries. Such as: Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Honduras, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Slovakia, USA, Uruguay, Venezuela and Zambia.
Even though they still loss on power house football team around the world, but it doesn't mean they will not win in the future.
As a form of support from government, Guatemala has a multipurpose national stadium located in Guatemala City named The Estadio Nacional Mateo Flores or Coloso de la Zona 5. Built in 1948, its main function in the very first place was to host Central American and Caribbean Games in 1950.
It was renamed after Mateo Flores became the winner of 1952 Marathon competition at Boston. With the capacity to accommodate more than 25.000 seats. No wonder if this place is usually used for football tournament. The stadium itself has already hosted the majority of local tournament of Guatemala national soccer team based on this history.

Gianni Infantino, FIFA President
Hector Trujillo, a former Fedefut general secretary, was the person who brought down in the scandal to be convicted in jail with eight months by the judge in New York.
It is a common secret that corruption cases become a huge problem in Guatemala. Unfortunately, football has gotten that collateral damage.
This team has suffered enough not to participate in several world level tournaments such as: Gold Cup, Central American Games, https://agenpoker899.com/, and CONCACAF Champion League.
But it is just a past story. Since 30 May 2018, a letter from Chairman of the Fedefut Normalisation Committee sent a letter to FIFA's president, Gianni Infantino, which was confirmed that it is already fully operated. The suspension is lifted and the rights as federation member of FIFA is restored. And this announcement is welcomed warmly.

Background: Standardized approaches for assessing and classifying cancer pain are required to improve treatment of patients with complex pain profiles. The Edmonton Classification System for Cancer Pain (ECS-CP) offers a starting point for the evolution of a standardized international classification system for cancer pain and was introduced into multisite research initiatives of the European Palliative Care Research Collaborative (EPCRC). Objectives: The primary purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of the five ECS-CP pain classification features: pain mechanism, incident pain, psychological distress, addictive behavior, and cognition - in a diverse international sample of patients with advanced cancer. Methods: A total of 1070 adult patients with advanced cancer were recruited from 17 sites in Norway, the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Canada, and Australia; 1051 of 1070 patients were evaluable. A clinician completed the ECS-CP for each enrolled patient. Additional information, including pain intensity, were also collected through patient self-reports, using touch-sensitive computers. Results: Of 1051 evaluable patients, 670 (64%) were assessed by a clinician as having cancer pain: nociceptive pain (n=534; 79.7%); neuropathic pain (n=113; 16.9%); incident pain (n=408; 60.9%); psychological distress (n=212; 31.6%); addictive behavior (n=30; 4.5%); normal cognition (n=616; 91.9%). The prevalence of ECS-CP features and pain intensity scores (11-item scale; 0=none, 10=worst; rated as now) varied substantially across sites and locations of care. Conclusion: The ECS-CP is a clinically relevant systematic framework, which is able to detect differences in salient pain classification features across diverse settings and countries. Further validation studies need to be conducted in varied advanced cancer and palliative care settings to advance the development of the ECS-CP toward an internationally recognized pain classification system. © Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.

Sebastien Lanson
Created on Saturday, 01 January 2011 00:00
Sebastien Lanson is a versatile performer with a guitar style that adapts readily to both ends of the jazz spectrum — from traditional to contemporary.
Taking up the guitar at age 14, he began formal training one year later with his aunt, Marie-Nonne Lanson, a professional classical performer and teacher. His musical education continued at the American School of Modern Music in Paris, an affiliate of The Berklee College of Music in Boston, spending four years studying composition, improvisation, and arranging. He attended master classes with such jazz greats as Gary Burton, Randy Brecker, and Steve Swallow, and studied for several years with jazz guitar master Philippe Petit. In France, he played in some of the most famous Parisian jazz clubs, including Le Ducs des Lombards, Alliance Jazz Club and Le Petit Journal.
Sebastien then spent 8 years in America. His arrival in 1998, was a pivotal point in his musical career. He meet Fred Berry, the director of the Stanford University Jazz Orchestra, a meeting he says changed his life. "Taking me under his wing, he invited me to play with his orchestra, and with some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world." Those musicians include such major artists as Bobby Hutcherson, Bob Florence, Billy Higgins, Jon Faddis, John L. Worley, Jr. and Louie Bellson.

"This ice cream can be spicy for some, so adjust the cayenne to your personal taste," Monette says.
In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, whisk together milk, cream, vanilla, spices, salt, and ⅓ cup sugar. Bring mixture just to boil.
While milk mixture is heating, combine yolks and remaining sugar in medium bowl. Using hand mixer on low speed or whisk, beat until mixture is pale and thick.
Place chopped chocolate in separate mixing bowl.
Once milk mixture has come to slight boil, whisk about ⅓ of hot mixture into yolk mixture. Add another ⅓ of mixture, and then return combined mixture to saucepan. Using wooden spoon, stir mixture constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly and coats back of spoon. This mixture must not boil or yolks will overcook. The process should only take a few minutes.
Pour mixture through fine-mesh strainer into bowl of reserved chocolate; whisk to combine and then bring to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate minimum of 1 to 2 hours and up to overnight.
Process in ice-cream maker to consistency desired.

WELCOME: About This Site
If you look at the back right-hand side of a Canadian $10 bill, you will see an old veteran standing at attention near the National War Memorial in Ottawa. His name is Robert Metcalfe and he died last month at the age of 90.
That he managed to live to that age is rather remarkable, given what happened in the Second World War. Born in England, he was one of the 400,000 members of the British Expeditionary Force sent to the mainland where they found themselves facing the new German warfare technique – the Blitzkrieg.
He was treating a wounded comrade when he was hit in the legs by shrapnel.
En route to hospital, his ambulance came under fire from a German tank, which then miraculously ceased fire. Evacuated from Dunkirk on HMS Grenade, two of the sister ships with them were sunk.
Recovered, he was sent to allied campaigns in North Africa and Italy . En route, his ship was chased by the German battleship Bismarck .
In North Africa he served under General Montgomery against the Desert Fox, Rommel.
Sent into the Italian campaign, he met his future wife, a lieutenant and physio-therapist in a Canadian hospital. They were married in the morning by the mayor of the local Italian town, and again in the afternoon by a British padre.
After the war, they settled in Chatham, Ontario, where he went into politics and became the warden (chairman) of the county, and on his retirement he and his wife moved to Ottawa. At the age of 80 he wrote a book about his experiences.
One day out of the blue he received a call from a government official asking him to go downtown for a photo op. He wasn't told what the photo was for, or why they chose him. 'He had no idea (at the time) that he would be on the bill,' his daughter said.
And now you know the story of the elderly veteran on the $10 bill.

Trudeau government pipeline approval challenged in court
By Bruce Cheadle The Canadian Press
Posted December 20, 2016 11:43 pm
1:36 Federal government approves Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline
WATCH ABOVE: In November, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the government of Canada has approved Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline project – Nov 29, 2016
Conservation groups have filed a new court challenge to the federal government's approval of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline.
The request for judicial review filed with the Federal Court of Appeal late Monday in Calgary is at least the eighth legal test of the controversial project, which will almost triple the capacity of an existing, 1,150-kilometre pipeline from near Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C.
The Liberal government gave the green light to the $6.8-billion pipeline expansion late last month, despite a thicket of existing legal challenges to the regulatory process.
Ecojustice lawyers, on behalf of the Living Oceans Society and Raincoast Conservation, say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet broke the law when it relied on a National Energy Board assessment of Kinder Morgan's controversial pipeline expansion.
The groups argue the board — and thus the Liberal government — did not properly take into account the Trans Mountain pipeline's impact on endangered southern resident killer whales. The newly expanded pipeline will increase oil tanker traffic from the port in Burnaby to about 34 ships a month, up from the current five.

"We'll be asking the court to overturn the government's unlawful approval and send it back to cabinet with instructions that it has to meet all the legal requirements," Ecojustice lawyer Dyna Tuytel said in a release.

The same groups had already challenged the National Energy Board's assessment on similar grounds last June, a case the judge reserved that has yet to be resolved.
The cities of Vancouver and Burnaby also launched suits against the NEB process, as did four different First Nations.
In September, the Federal Court dismissed a challenge by the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation that had alleged the board failed in its duty to properly consult.
Burnaby announced Tuesday that it is seeking leave to appeal the government's decision on Trans Mountain to the Federal Court of Appeal.
The Liberal government says it is taking seriously its responsibilities under the Species At Risk Act, which mandates a federal recovery plan for about 80 killer whales that spend much of their lives in the Pacific waters off Vancouver.
Studies by the Raincoast Conservation Foundation suggest the whale population is severely stressed by a variety of factors, including shipping noise that disrupts the whales' ability to locate prey and communicate during the hunt.
Biologist Paul Paquet, the foundation's senior science adviser, said the increased tanker traffic not only increases the likelihood of oil spills, but will further compromise the killer whales' ability to feed due to additional, cumulative ship noise.
"We have consistently said that approving this project is approving the probable extinction of the southern resident killer whales," Paquet said in the release.
Tweet This Click to share quote on Twitter: "We have consistently said that approving this project is approving the probable extinction of the southern resident killer whales," Paquet said in the release.
Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc told The Canadian Press in a recent interview that the Liberal government will be releasing an updated recovery plan for the whales next month, following thousands of public submissions on a summer draft plan. Transport Canada shipping regulations are in the works and will be introduced later in the spring, he said.
The federal government's $1.5-billion oceans protection program announced in November earmarked $340 million over five years for whale protections, including improved monitoring so ships can be immediately alerted and directed away from whale pods.
LeBlanc rejects the contention that the Trans Mountain pipeline is a death knell for the southern resident killer whales.
"I understand the concern and it comes, in my view, from a very good place. I think it's held sincerely," he said.
"It's not a view that's supported by the scientific advice and independent advice that we as a government have received."

Derby County sign former England captain Wayne Rooney
By BBC Online
Championship side Derby County have signed former England captain Wayne Rooney on an initial 18-month player-coach deal from MLS side DC United.
The 33-year-old forward, who is Manchester United's and England's all-time record goalscorer, will join up with the Rams in January.
He signed for DC from Everton in July 2018 and has scored 23 goals in 41 league games.
"I am sure I can make a big contribution," said Rooney.
"I am very excited about the opportunity that Derby County have provided me with. I am looking forward to joining [Derby manager] Phillip Cocu, his coaching staff and the first-team squad from the start of January.


Before going into the Naval and Military Park in Buffalo, the Commercial Slips is the first attraction that you will see. According to the information I read, this area in Buffalo, New York is the original Commercial Slip, the entrance to the original Erie Canal. It was built in 1825 for the purpose of a hub of commercial that connects the Great Lakes to the Hudson River in Albany.
The Canal went out of use in the early 1900s unfortunately. The restoration of this canal began in the early 2000s. The canals and Steamboat Hotel ruins are now being preserved for us to enjoy and appreciate. My kids was really fascinated by it.
I love it that they put bench along side it. You can sit and relax while listening to the running water.
I wish we have a place like this here in Weirton. I would frequent the place and enjoy each time.
This part of Buffalo, New York is a great place to explore especially if you have kids. Lots of things to see and enjoy.
Water and children, always a great combination right. No matter what the child's age, water attraction is always a winner.
Look at these two, too eager to run and discover the place. We were there for a short period of time so they want to enjoy each minute by not missing anything.
I am most fascinated by this part and I appreciated them restoring the place. By looking at the ruins, you can tell that this used to be a very important part of the businesses around here.
Even my husband can't just look, he went out around looking at the place as well.
I love taking photos of my 3 kids ha ha ha.
This looks like a good place for a picnic.
If we would have enough time, I would have love to take the river tour. It would have been nice to see it from a different view.
So if you guys are visiting Buffalo or on your way home from Niagara Falls, this place is worth checking out. I love historical places like this because you learn a lot from what it is used to be. I admired them for preserving this place. I wish the steel mill here in our place was kept instead of tearing it down. It was a sad day seeing the mill going down, it could have been restored and use as a historical place.
So awesome. I just love the scenery here. I would want to check this area out too. My kids love being by the water.
The commercial slip looks like fun...and a lot of stair walking! LOL!! I would still love to visit!
This place looks like so much fun! I've never been so this would be a great road trip for the family.
Sounds like a really fun place that holds a lot of history for the region. It is great that they are working on restoring the area so that families can enjoy it for years to come. I bet it is beautiful in the Spring and Fall to be out by the water.
It looks like you had such a fun time there with the family. I know a lot of people in my life would love to explore a place like this. It's got the history and the beauty all at once.
Your family seems to be having such a good time, and the history there was so interesting. I think you should get in some of the pictures next time.
What a fun and cool place to explore! I always enjoy historical spots in cities. Very cool.
Some interesting history here for sure. If we are ever in Buffalo will have to swing by and check out this place.
I have always wanted to venture around New York. We have only been to New York City and there is so much more to New York! Thank you for sharing!
We often drive through Buffalo on our way to visit relatives, but have never stopped there. Maybe one day we'll take a day trip to Buffalo and see the sights.
I love to discover and visit new places. They teach a lot. I am sure my kids will have a lot of fun to discover this one!
I really didn't think there was much in Buffalo, NY except for busninesses. This is very nice to know...and pretty too.

Government remains committed to the improvement of Serbia
Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said today she is satisfied with the results achieved by the Serbian government over the past two years, which has remained committed to its goals, first and foremost when it comes to the macroeconomic stability and the strengthening of Serbia.
Speaking at a press conference held on the occasion of presentation of the results of the government's work over the past two years, as well as the priorities for the next period, Brnabic said that it is most important that citizens understand what the government is doing and that it is easily accessible and open to them.
We are deeply committed to changing Serbia for the better, and I am convinced that the things we are doing have moved in that direction, Brnabic said, pointing to the reforms that have been implemented, digitization and the goal of creating an economy based on knowledge and innovations.
She said that the Serbian government will continue to work on the affirmation of human rights and freedoms, on strengthening independent regulatory bodies and improving the living standards of citizens.
Wages in the public sector increased between 12 and 23 per cent, and another increase is expected by the end of the year, the Prime Minister said, adding that the biggest increase of wages have been made in healthcare, between 28 and 30 per cent, as well as in education, which shows that priority of the government is to keep the doctors and nurses in the country, as well as to reward employees in education.
The Prime Minister specified that the average salary is now €463, which is 11.3 per cent more, with the note that salaries and pensions are increasing on a real basis and that the surplus in the budget today amounts to RSD 21.26 billion.
Brnabic said that, with the approval of the Social-Economic Council, the minimum salary has been increased by 19.5 per cent, to RSD 27,200, while the tax burden on businessmen was reduced.
According to her, foreign direct investments in the first five months amounted to €1.4 billion, which is 17 per cent more than in the same period last year.
The Prime Minister said that Serbia is a safer country today, stating that the smallest number of crimes in 18 years was recorded in 2018.
Compared to 2017, the number of crimes in 2018 was lower by 6.5 per cent, and more than ten tons of narcotics were seized in just over two years, she said.
Speaking about important projects that will be built this year, Brnabic mentioned the Moravian Corridor and the Belgrade-Sarajevo highway, namely the Sremska Raca-Kuzmin section.
She stressed that European integration remains the strategic goal of the government of Serbia, and the European Union our destination, while at the same time preserving the best possible relations with the United States, Russia, China, the United Arab Emirates, because this is in the best interest of citizens.
Speaking about European integration, Brnabic pointed out that in the previous two years Serbia opened nine negotiating chapters, and 17 in total, two of which have been temporarily closed.
We are ready to open new chapters and this will be a priority in our work. By signing 11 agreements, we received more than €460 million in EU grants, the Prime Minister underlined.
She underlined that the Serbian government bravely began education reforms and recalled reminding that informatics was introduced as an obligatory subject in all elementary schools and that 23 per cent of secondary vocational schools have at least one dual educational profile.
The Science Fund was established for the first time, which is connected with the Innovation Fund, the Prime Minister said and pointed out that funds intended for financing science have been increased by 30 per cent.
As of this year, Serbia is a full member of CERN, and scientific and technological parks have been built in Nis and Novi Sad. Starting with 1 September, we will have 10,000 digital classrooms, within three years we will complete the digitization of all our schools, which is the best indicator of the responsible government's attitude towards the future of Serbia, Brnabic underlined.

NEW YORK, NY (CBS SF) – Former Saturday Night Live comedienne Jan Hooks died Thursday, October 9th from unknown causes, confirms NBC News.
The Decatur, Georgia born comedienne made her start in Los Angeles as part of the improv troupe "The Groundlings" in the late 70's. In 1986, Lorne Michaels offered Hooks a spot on SNL along with Phil Hartman, Mike Myers and Bay Area resident, Dana Carvey.
Hooks was best known for her wildly exaggerated characters on SNL. Her characters included Hillary Clinton, Tammy Faye Bakker, Kathie Lee Gifford, Sinéad O'Connor and along with Nora Dunn, Hooks played "Candy Sweeney" of "The Sweeney Sisters."
NEW YORK, NY (CBS SF) – Former Saturday Night Live comedienne Jan Hooks died Thursday, October 9th from unknown causes, reports NBC News.
The Decatur, Georgia born comedienne made her start in Los Angeles as part of the improv troupe "The Groundlings" in the late 70's. In 1986, Lorne Michaels offered Hooks a spot on SNL along with Phil Hartman, Mike Myers and Bay Area resident, Dana Carvey.
In 1991, Hooks was invited to join the cast of CBS' Designing Women by show creator Linda Bloodworth-Thomason. She also made appearances on 3rd Rock from the Sun Providence and The Simpsons. Hooks' last television role was that of Jane Krakowski's (Jenna) mother Verna Maroney on 30 Rock.
TMZ reports that Hooks was battling some type of serious illness before the news of her death.
I just heard the news former #SNL cast member Jan Hooks has died. She was one of the funniest performers ever on SNL. Always a stand out.
RIP Jan Hooks. Loved your work on @nbcsnl especially when you did #sineadoconnor. Condolences to friends/family/loved ones.
RIP Jan Hooks. An endearing, funny woman who so inspired and made me laugh so much. A bright light went out.
"@TheWrap: #RIP: Jan Hooks, 'Saturday Night Live' Star, Dead at 57 goo.gl/1MEkah http://t.co/DymDCt3dr4" oh no. So crazy funny.
Jan Hooks always made me laugh. always.
I can't believe it. Jan Hooks appeared in many 3rd Rock eps. We all truly loved her. I can't believe she's gone, another comedic genius.
Jan Hooks. I idolized her. A comedy original. ALWAYS made me laugh.. working with her or watching her. Too short a career and life. So sad.
In awe of her work on SNL and beyond. A genius artist whose characters stayed grounded until the perfect moment to get weird. RIP Jan Hooks.
Jan Hooks and her characters were quoted a LOT around my house growing up. RIP to an amazing performer.

Q: Leaflet match label text color with object color I want the color of a label to match the color of the polygon. Here I'm using static labels, but I don't think that should matter. I found this tutorial which can change the color of label text, but I want it to match the color palette used for the polygon. Here is a minimal example of my best attempt:
library(leaflet); library(sf)

nc <- st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf"))
nc <- nc %>% st_transform(crs = 4326)
nc2 <- nc[1:3,]

pal <- colorFactor(c('red', 'green', 'blue'), domain = as.character(nc2$NAME))

leaflet(nc2) %>%
  addPolygons(label = ~NAME,
              color = ~pal(NAME),
              labelOptions = labelOptions(noHide = T, textOnly = T, textsize = 15,
                                          style = list(
                                            color = ~pal(NAME)
                                          )))

So for example I want the text "Ashe" to be green. Is there a way to access variable names within labelOptions?
Thanks

A: Very hacky solution but it works. I loop over the rows of the data and use addLabelOnlyMarkers with the centroid of the row polygon, using st_centroid. I run the pal function at each iteration.
for(i in 1:nrow(nc2)) {
  text_col = pal(nc2$NAME[i])
  p <- p %>%
    addLabelOnlyMarkers(data = st_centroid(nc2[i,]),
                        label = ~NAME,
                        labelOptions = labelOptions(
                            noHide = T, textOnly = T,
                            style = list('color' = text_col)
                        )
  )
}

I still welcome any better solution to this...


As useless extra hands in the hospital go, we have basically completed our penance and have become experts in the Med Student Daily Apologia For Being An Idiot. In celebration, many of us – yours truly included – took huge chunks of time off to apply for and interview at residency programs. The process, while fun and exhausting and replete with enormous amounts of Netflix binge-watching, also generated a lexicon all on its own.
For those of you with fourth year student friends or family, I present you with a few keys for understanding your tormented fourth year student.
ERAS (n): The Electronic Residency Application System. A website where the Fourth Year (FY) spends all of September copying and pasting their CV, line by line, into a form that ends up formatting their information as if written by a third grader.
ERAS is a secure pay portal for stealing large sums of money from Fourth Years in the form of Application Fees.
ERAS Has Crashed, (n): A yearly, panic-inducing ritual where the ERAS website, overwhelmed by neurotic mouse-clicking Fourth Years, folds like a paper fan on September 15. This process is responsible for at least ten fatal brain aneurysm ruptures per year, usually from applicants into neurosurgery.
Waiting For Upload, (n): An ERAS status where the Fourth Year has requested a Letter of Recommendation from a busy faculty member, who has yet to upload this letter to ERAS. This usually induces a flurry of panicked emails and calls to the faculty member's administrative assistant, who often pretends to be out of the office to avoid an episode of homicidal rage.
noreply@aamc.org, (n): The automated mailer for interview invitations sent through ERAS. Fourth Years receiving email communication from this address often experience a brief episode of a hypertensive emergency and are forced to excuse themselves from whatever they are doing to immediately seek broadband internet access, or a bathroom with solid LTE cell coverage, in order to schedule their interview before all the other neurotic Fourth Years across the country beat them to the punch. This extends even to FY's actively participating in patient care, such as pretending to be an actual doctor in the operating room.
This relevant picture was too good to not include.
Interview Social, (n): The pre- or post-interview gathering with residents, designed to be an informal and optional gathering for the Fourth Year to meet actual, real life trainee doctors in their natural environment. This is most often a bar, but can also be the home of a resident or faculty member. The chief advantages of the Interview Social are the presence of free or greatly discounted alcohol and/or food. The chief disadvantages are needing to pretend to be nicer for extra hours, plus the added chance that the FY miscalculates their alcohol intake and ends up as the Drunkest Girl At the Bar (see also: Drinking To Alleviate Unavoidable Social Awkwardness) plus or minus hungover the next day for the actual interview.
United Airlines, (n): The surest path to Missing The Interview Day. See also: Your Flight Has Been Canceled and I'm Sorry, Sir, Your Bag Went To Houston.
Interview Day, (n): A seemingly high-stakes encounter that, early on, the Fourth Year enters full of hope and nervousness and exits somewhat confused and thoroughly lost. As the interview season progresses, the Fourth Year begins entering these Days with less nervousness, increased apathy, and a greater interest in lunch than the tour.
Do You Want To See The ICU, (q): Speaking of the tour. A question asked by the tour guide, to which the answer is either "YES!!!!" or "absolutely not are you out of your mind," depending on whether the FY has had at least one interview before.
Careful observers will note the third question and the first are exactly the same, but since we all follow the same script on Interview Day no one is actually paying attention.
Thank You Letter, (n): A questionably valued exercise in needless stress, requiring the collection of numerous business cards, followed by the Fourth Year needing to remember what in the actual hell they talked about on that interview day to personalize their email or handwritten note. Many programs will request that students do not send thank you messages, but since medical students are the most neurotic creatures on earth they usually do so anyway. Ostensibly this is to encourage the interviewer to remember the Fourth Year, but in reality the message usually gets thrown directly into the nearest receptacle.
Love Lettering, (v): The process of sending an email, or emails, to the top programs on a Fourth Year's Rank List (a topic covered extensively in How The Match Works. Love Lettering the FY's #1 program usually entails telling the program as such, with the goal of influencing the applicant's position on the program's rank list. Other programs may be informed that they are ranked "very highly," which is of very high questionable usefulness to anyone. But people do it anyway, because they are neurotic medical students who are crazy.
Why this may work is also covered in the above link.
A final sidenote: every year, some idiot Fourth Year emails multiple programs and tells them all they are ranked #1. This inevitably backfires, as program directors talk and that Fourth Year is thereafter looked down upon as the Lying Resident, much the same way as Ted Cruz will now forever be remembered as "Lyin' Ted" and for that phenomenal Bad Lip Reading of his campaign commercial.
Certifying The Rank Order List, (v): The process of promising the company running the match, the NRMP, that the Fourth Year is entering into a binding contract to become the employee of wherever they match. To break this contract requires the assistance of a spell by Professor Dumbledore, may he rest in peace, and a 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court.
Match Day, (n): A ritualistic induction into the indentured servitude of medicine whereby all Fourth Years realize, simultaneously, that they have been committed by law into chronic sleep deprivation, early hypertension, and a toxic relationship for two to eight years. The Fourth Years – now Almost Doctors – typically celebrate that evening by poisoning their livers together with unfortunately not-free alcohol.
Graduation, (n): An expensive and confusing ceremony including thousands of excited 21-year-olds with new bachelor's degrees in communications, wizard robes, and something called a Hooding Ceremony. The school promises this is not a KKK ritual.
a hooding ceremony????? OMG what could that be?
super funny ! keep these coming !
Great post. I laughed a lot. Med school is ridiculous.
