Beasley Broadcast Group Q2 Revenue Up 1%; Station Operating Income Up 3.5%. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $61.6 million for Beasley Broadcast Group – an increase of 1% over the same period in 2017. For the first six months of 2018, net revenue was $116.8 million – up from $114.8 million in 2017. Beasley CEO
Caroline Beasley comments, "Beasley's second quarter results reflect our ongoing execution of strategies to drive revenue, productivity and growth across our local radio broadcasting and digital platforms. The 1% year-over-year increase in second quarter revenues combined with essentially flat station expenses and the operating leverage related to the top-line growth resulted in a 3.5% increase in second quarter SOI. Overall, our second quarter
results again demonstrate the efficiencies we are realizing related to our expanded scale and the operating leverage in our model, which collectively led to a 28.6% increase in earnings per share. During the second quarter, Beasley remained committed to enhancing shareholder value through capital returns and capital structure improvements. In this regard, we declared our nineteenth consecutive quarterly cash dividend. In addition, interest expense decreased approximately 20% year-over-year to $3.8 million, reflecting the recent refinancing of our senior debt, which reduced our interest rate by 200 basis points. We used cash from operations to make voluntary debt repayments of $2 million in the second quarter and ended June 30, 2018 with total outstanding debt of $220 million." As previously reported, on May 1, 2017, Beasley completed the sale of six stations in Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, and on December 19, 2017, Beasley completed an asset exchange transaction whereby it exchanged its Boston adult contemporary station WMJX-FM and $12 million for Boston's sports station WBZ-FM. The results reflect the operations and results from WBZ-FM in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and WMJX-FM in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The results also reflect one month of contribution from the Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville stations in the three-month period, and four months of contribution in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. The $0.6 million, or 1.0%, year-over-year increase in net revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2018, reflects the inclusion of WBZ-FM Boston, partially offset by the disposition of WMJX-FM Boston and the Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville stations.
E.W. Scripps Radio Revenue Hit by Write-Down of Stations Value. The sale of its radio stations has been the focus of industry news about E.W. Scripps as it re-aligns to
concentrate on its television and OTT businesses. As a result, it has been reporting its radio segment as "discontinued operations" in recent quarterly reports. In the second quarter of 2017, the radio segment's income was $1.7 million. The second quarter of 2018 has produced a loss of $2.9 million as the result of "non-cash charges of $25.9 million to write down the assets of the radio business to fair value." Scripps has agreed to sell its five-station Tulsa cluster to the local Griffin Communications for $12.5 million and its Milwaukee duo to Good Karma Brands for $16 million. The company has 27 stations in six markets for which it continues to seek buyers.

National Journalism Center Plays Supportive Role with Talk Media's Youth – Organization to Showcase Internship Program at Talkers New York 2014. In the era of industry-wide consolidation and moves to cut costs with syndication, longtime radio and media veteran Kirby Wilbur could be the poster child for reinventing a career while helping others to start their own. Washington, DC-born and Seattle-raised, Wilbur made a name for himself in the Pacific Northwest as a talk show host on KVI for 16 years. From 1993 to 2009, Kirby was a staple on the Seattle airwaves and also as a fill-in host for Sean Hannity. After being cut loose from KVI, Wilbur became chairman of the Washington State Republican Party. During his tenure, Republicans picked up majorities in the Washington State House and State Senate. However, an offer came his way that has not only changed him, but is also developing a new generation of members of the media. About a year ago, Wilbur and his wife left the Pacific Northwest for Washington, DC, where he became executive director of the conservative-based National Journalism Center. His new career may not place him behind the microphone, but it does allow him to help groom the next generation of future radio reporters, talk show hosts, writers and members of the media. "The Young America's Foundation is a project of the National Journalism Center. Its mission is to train and work with journalism students (conservative and otherwise) who aspire to careers in the field and encourage them through internships and academic programs. The program's alumni include a stellar roster of well-known media and journalism figures.

The Hisense H9F series of smart TVs do just that, merging their latest LED panels with an extremely versatile platform. The end product is great, but there's still some room for improvement.
The H9F Series from Hisense comes in 65" and 55" sizes. Besides the difference in size, both models offer the same specifications and user experience. Compared to last year's H8F Series, the H9F is a huge step up with improvements to its full-array local dimming, contrast ratio, peak brightness, HDR and a reduction in panel reflectiveness.
While the larger Hisense 65 H9F made its debut at $999, the TV's price has dropped to $799 and the 55-inch model can be purchased for $550, making them among the most affordable 4K TV's in their respective size categories. But are they any good? Let's find out.
When you remove the TV from the box, you'll immediately notice the near bezel-less design on the top and sides, featuring a sleek chamfered edge. The build materials include a combination of metal and plastic, giving the TV an overall sleek and modern look which is accentuated by the uniquely designed aluminum stand with loop-around legs. It offers decent stability, but there's always the option to mount it to the wall if you're not a fan of the look.
The only part of the TV that looks and feels cheap is the back plastic panel. Fortunately, it's not something you'll be looking at or touch often once you get the TV all set up.
For inputs, Hisense has generously equipped the H9F Series with 4 HDMI 2.0 ports, RCA (does anyone still use this?), two USB ports (1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0), LAN, Optical Audio out, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. On the wireless front, the TV sports Wifi 802.11 a/b/g/n//ac (2×2) and Bluetooth.
Unfortunately, Hisense has limited the number of physical buttons on the TV to just one. The button can be used for on/off and input controls, but you will be forced to use the remote to change channels or control the volume.
Coming from a Roku-powered TV, the remote that Hisense has included feels clunky and outdated. Jam-packed with nearly three dozen buttons, it looks like the remote control your cable provider tortured you with for the past decade. It's perfectly functional with dedicated buttons for controlling Android TV or jumping directly into some of its most popular apps, but it simply doesn't project the same fit and finish at the TV itself.
The LED panel itself features a Hisense's Quantum Dot technology with full-array local dimming which delivers over 1,000 nits of brightness on SDR content, but that brightness pushes up to 1,200 nits of peak brightness when displaying HDR 10 content which looks absolutely spectacular. The contrast ratio is better than TCL's 6 Series TVs, but still not as good as Vizio's M Series Quantum TVs which made their debut in 2019 as well.
The black levels it produces are very dark, even in a well-lit room, but the panel truly shines once ambient lighting is turned down. The full-array local dimming is typically good but can be slow to adjust in fast-paced scenes. I also experienced vignetting around the display's corners when a bright white menu on screen. It's not something you'll notice while watching content, but you will definitely see it from time to time in apps or game loading screens.
When it comes to viewing angles, picture quality retains its fidelity up to 25-30 degrees. After that, colors begin to wash out and black levels shift. This is quite normal for VA (vertical alignment) type panels, something that doesn't affect OLED panels if you're looking for better viewing angles.
If you're a gamer, you'll likely be impressed by the 3.4ms response time. This results in less blur for fast-moving objects or scenes, making it ideal for action movies or gaming. Hisense was also able to reduce input lag to just 16Ms at 60HZ at all resolution when in game mode compared to over 100ms when the feature isn't turned on.
While the TV offers great visuals, the audio experience isn't that impressive. The Hisense 55 H9F comes with 2 15w speakers which can get up to 87 decibels. Unfortunately, there's very little bass in the mix, though the sound profile is flat and pretty clean with low distortion, even at high volume.
For a complete cinematic experience, we highly recommend picking up a soundbar or surround sound system.
Android TV essentially offers the same experience, regardless of which TV you're using. Personally, I find the home screen layout extremely intuitive with suggestions from Netflix, YouTube and other streaming services based on my viewing habits.
There are only a handful of pre-installed apps when you turn the TV on for the first time, but jumping into the Play Store will reveal hundreds of options from traditional broadcasters like NBC, CBS, and ESPN in addition to lesser-known services like Xumo which aggregates hundreds of online broadcast streams.
The Hisense 55 H9F could also double as a casual gaming machine thanks to Android TV's library of games. The experience isn't phenomenal as the built-in processor is less powerful than the chips used in smartphones from 2015. But connect a Bluetooth controller to the TV and you could sit back and play Dead Trigger 2, Ice Rage or even GTA: Liberty City Stories.
One of the newish features built into Android TV is Google Assistant. Like on your smartphone, you can ask for the weather forecast, get answers to random facts or ask it to tell you a joke. But since it's integrated into the platform, you can also ask it to play a specific video on YouTube or the next episode of the Netflix series you've been binge-watching.
Unfortunately, the under-performing processor also takes its toll on the fluidity of Android TV's interface and the Google Assistant from time to time. Scrolling through the menus in apps or Android TV's main UI can feel a bit sluggish at times and using the Google Assistant can take a long time to respond, especially if you activate it right after you turn the TV on.
For many, buying a new smart TV is a harder decision than spending $1,000 on a smartphone. The good news is that the Hisense H9F series is extremely affordable, offering 55-inch and 65-inch models at $550 and $800, respectively. When compared to the competition, that's an incredible steal!
The Hisense H9F TVs certainly aren't perfect. The audio experience is underwhelming and the performance of Android TV is a bit lackluster with the processor Hisense chose to go with, but the TV panel itself is exceptional, making the two Hisense H9F models the current rulers over the budget 4K TV Kingdom.
The only question you should really be asking yourself is if you can fit a 65-inch TV in your living room or if you'll need to go with the 55-inch model.

Home Politics 'Nyay' can benefit UPA in aspirational districts: Survey
'Nyay' can benefit UPA in aspirational districts: Survey
The "Nyay" scheme promised by the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha elections can be a game changer for the party on 90 of 123 seats in 115 aspirational districts of the country, with a survey predicting that the Congress-led UPA could get more than thrice the seats it won in 2014 and the BJP-led NDA's numbers could halve from 60 to 31.
The Nyuntam Aay Yojana or Nyay — the minimum income guarantee scheme announced by Congress President Rahul Gandhi — promises that every family among the poorest 20 per cent will get income support of Rs 6,000 a month.
The survey says that the scheme is likely to have a major impact in the aspirational districts, which are underdeveloped in comparison to other districts of the country and need accelerated programmes to achieve development objectives.
The Niti Aayog had come out with a list of aspirational districts last year.
The survey says that of the 90 seats likely to be impacted by the Nyay, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had won 40 in 2009, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) 33 and others 17.
In 2014, the NDA tally was up at 60, the UPA was down to 11 and others were 19.
It predicts that in 2019, the UPA's tally can go up to 38 seats, NDA's can drop to 31 and others 21 due to the possible impact of Nyay.
However, if one were to look at the overall results on 123 seats in aspirational districts, the NDA got 49 in 2009 elections with the BJP getting 35, the UPA got 52 (Congress 41) and others bagged 22. The Congress-led UPA had come to power again after 2009 elections.
However, both the NDA and the BJP significantly improved their performance in these districts in 2014. The NDA won 76 seats (BJP 62) and the UPA could win only 17 seats with the Congress getting only 12. Others had won 31 seats.
Bihar has 17 Lok Sabha seats among aspirational districts, Jharkhand 14, Madhya Pradesh 11, West Bengal 11, Uttar Pradesh 9, Odisha 7, Assam 6, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan 5 each, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana 4 each, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Punjab 3 each, Uttarakhand 2, and one each in Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura.
The survey says that the Nyay is likely to impact all the seats among aspirational districts in Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, UP, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Assam.
The aspirational districts also have a high percentage of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Muslims.
In Bihar, this percentage varies from 27 per cent to 70 per cent, Jharkhand 40 to 75 per cent, Madhya Pradesh 31 to 68 per cent, West Bengal 59 to 80 per cent, Uttar Pradesh 30 to 50 per cent, Odisha 33 to 73 per cent, Assam 47 to 84 per cent, Chhattisgarh 37 to 77 per cent, Maharashtra 30 to 67 per cent and Rajasthan 33 per cent to 42 per cent.

For all of us in the know, the ADR x H&M collaboration was a a huge deal and it was evident online as the whole collection almost sold out within hours but in stores it didn't seem as popular with lots of stock left. This was probably because only the people who took an interest in the fashion bubble were the only ones to know who ADR is!!!
Anywho, even before the collection was in store, I knew EXACTLY which pieces I wanted to get and even better, all of them were in my local store, YAY! I think the only thing missing from this collection are... RINGS! Waa!

Just yesterday, Chris Anderson and Michael Wolff's article "The Web is Dead. Long Live the Internet" was officially posted on Wired.com. In it, they argue that the rise of apps for smartphones and iPads, RSS feeds, proprietary platforms like the Xbox and so on signal the end of the Web as the center of most people's online lives. In many ways, it argues loosely for a vindication of Wired's notorious "PUSH!" cover story from 1997, which also argued for the end of browsers' relevance. But honestly, between Alexis Madrigal's beautiful rebuttal at TheAtlantic.com, Rob Beschizza's devastating graphics on Boing Boing (reworking Anderson and Wolff's own choice of data), and other quick rebuttals springing up, has any ambitious piece of Internet-related punditry died a faster, more ignominious death? It seems as though the plausibility of this idea has been drained away even before issues of the paper magazine could have reached subscribers.
I don't think Anderson and Wolff's argument is entirely without merit, but the somewhat more nuanced version of it that seems more resilient is one that Farhad Manjoo endorsed in a couple of columns for Slate early this year, "Computers Should Be More Like Toasters" and "I Love the iPad" (both concurrent with the debut of Apple's iPad, which I don't see as even remotely coincidental). Manjoo was arguing for a simpler, more appliance-level interface for computers rather than the death of something as rich and vital as the Web still is. In effect, unlike Anderson and Wolff, Manjoo avoided the trap of arguing for the historically disproven "zero sum game" model of newer technologies driving older ones to extinction, which Madrigal debunks. Even if interfaces and operating systems become more app-like, the browser-mediated Web may continue to be a crucial part of most users' lives.
There's no reason to think the Web as we know it won't eventually die; most things do. And apps seem destined to play a more ubiquitous role in all our lives for some time to come; terrific. It seems doubtful those two propositions are causally linked, however.
Update (added 8/21): Far more sophisticated discussion of the points raised in the Wired article, including additional smart rebuttals, is available in this series of exchanges between Chris Anderson, Tim O'Reilly and John Batelle—served up by Wired.com itself, to its credit.


Probably everyone time of the time faces an unexpected lack of cash caused by some emergencies or sudden but necessary expenses. Lots of people take them to cover such spending like holiday bills, car repair account, back to school costs, dental work etc. 500 Fast Cash in New Jersey is good replacement for standard credit because of its simplicity and quickness.
In simple terms, payday loan is a moderate High Interest Loans. Because of its nature Quick Fast Loans in New Jersey is not intended to be used for a long period and is not suitable for a great purchases like a car or a house. But it is a really good way to pay for emergencies or cover some small and unexpected money spending and stretch customer's buying power.

Usually it is quite fast and easy to get amount of money you need at time you need it by dint of Banks That Give Personal Loans With Bad Credit New Jersey. You can just visit one of hundreds retail locations of different companies in New Jersey to submit an online form. Or there is other variation to get some cash – 500 Fast Cash.

The advantage of online method is that you can apply for an advance 24/7 New Jersey whenever it is comfortable for you. You can do it without going out home, just fill out form and wait for an answer. New Jersey Holiday Money allows you to get needed cash as soon as it is possible because if your application is approved most of lenders in New Jersey transfer money to your account as fast as on the same business day.
500 applies to 050 a transfer of ownership to another individual and the establishment of an ILIT. So, if you die within Cash years of the transfer, the full amount of the proceeds are included in your estate as Fast you still owned the policy. Another IRS regulation will look for any incidents of ownership by the person who transfers the policy.
What does "500 Fast Cash in New Jersey" stand for?
Unlike long-term loans, these deals are meant to help people who need small sums of money and are able to return the money in a short period of time. As mentioned above, the sum of the loan is relatively slow (up to $1,000) so it can't help one to cover college expenses, to start a business or to buy a house. Commonly 500 Fast Cash in New Jersey used to pay bills and taxes, buy presents before salary day, etc.
What is the qualification for 500 Fast Cash in New Jersey & High Interest Loans?
Most of the procedures required to check applicant's personal information, make a decision and lend the money are performed online. This option helps to make 500 Fast Cash the fastest type of credits. You can fill and send your application anytime, because online services work 24/7 in New Jersey. Filling out the form doesn't take much time, too: due to small amount of required information, one can finish the form in a couple of minutes. Then it takes about an hour to connect the perspective client with a lender in New Jersey.
The loan agreement is provided as soon as the final decision on the Banks That Give Personal Loans With Bad Credit. After that the client can read the offer and decide whether to agree on the credit terms or to reject them. Rejecting the credit doesn't require any special procedures: one should just ignore the offer. In future the request can be easily repeated if necessary. If one does agree on the terms of the loan, the next step is signing the agreement with an e-sign. After that, it only takes about one business day to transfer the money to the borrower's bank account. If the direct deposit option is unavailable, but other criteria match, the experts can offer some other options. In most cases, it doesn't take more than one business day to receive the money after filling up and sending the form.
Since Holiday Money in New Jersey are secured by the regular income of the borrower, bad credit history doesn't affect much on credit decisions. Though some lenders prefer to work in traditional ways and need to perform verifications on every credit with traditional bureaus, others only check if the perspective applicant has no enormous debts with other lenders or is not a bankrupt. That doesn't mean the credit history doesn't matter at all: low credit score can affect the terms and amounts of loan offers. But it doesn't prevent an applicant from being approved to get a loan.
There are a lot of unforeseeable circumstances which can prevent borrowers from covering their debts in time. Most of the lenders easily accept this if the borrower keeps in touch and propose to renew High Interest Loans in New Jersey for additional interest that is added to the total. One should know that this is not a cheap option. It can increase a small credit debt to the sizes which will be much harder for the borrower to repay. Please make sure to prevent these circumstances by contacting the lenders as soon as you can and informing them that you've got unexpected problems. One should also know that not all states allow renewals. Check the laws of your state on 500 Fast Cash in New Jersey before trying to renew your loan.
Applicable penalties, collection practices and all the additional fees for failing to pay off in time are explained in every individual loan agreement together with the cases of defaulted payment terms. This agreement should be read carefully and attentively by every applicant who wants to get a Holiday Money. It is highly not recommended to sign the agreement without checking the terms.

Q: How do i access the file datas changes that were made in Heroku? I added my app on heroku and it makes changes to the file inside it and everytime i make a change in github all the datas are lost is there any way i can get access to the file inside heroku

A: Heroku has an "ephemeral" hard drive, this means that you can write files to disk, but those files will not persist after the application is restarted with the dynos. The best solution to this problem is to use cloud storage and dump all the new data on it with your worker script.

As much as we love pretty paper, we absolutely swoon when we see how our paper looks when surrounded by all the other elegant details at a wedding. And at the end of the day, we especially grateful and proud to be a part of each of our brides' special day.
Kristen and Aaron come courtesy of United with Love. They were married last fall at Belmont County Club. We think that their invitations matched perfectly with the season and her venue!
Our design studio loved working on the day-of paper for Lindsay and Pete! We think Atrendy Wedding did a great job putting this one together.
Another stunning wedding – Courtney and Moshe were recently featured on Style Me Pretty. Love the soft tones and featuring the DC skyline on their invitations.

Biden Expects A 'Significant De-Escalation Today' In Gaza

On the 10th day of conflict between Israel and Palestine, President Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Wednesday morning, saying he "expects significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire."
The White House confirmed the two leaders had a discussion on the state of events in Gaza, Israelis' progress in degrading the capabilities of Hamas and other terrorist elements, and ongoing diplomatic efforts by regional governments and the United States.
Wednesday was the first time President Biden set a deadline for when he would like to see an end to the violence between the two countries, which has led to civilian deaths.
According to Israeli authorities, 12 people have been killed in Israel, including two children. Health officials in Gaza say at least 219 have been killed, including 63 children and 36 women.
Biden's conversation with Netanyahu has been the fourth call in the past week.
Hours after the phone call, Netanyahu said he is " determined to continue this operation until its goal is achieved."
So far, Biden has had over 60 calls in the past week, with senior leaders in Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and across the region. The administration will continue to remain engaged in intensive, quiet diplomacy to hold the current violence and find a way forward.

I have 25 years of experience studying the enzymology of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, such as the collagen P4Hs and the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) P4Hs. We were the first to show that the HIF-P4Hs have a very low affinity for oxygen making these enzymes cellular oxygen sensors. We were also the first to characterize in detail their catalytic and inhibitory properties which laid the basis for the development of HIF-P4H inhibitors aimed for therapeutic applications, such as for the treatment of anemia. During recent years I have extended my research to study the role and regulation of the hypoxia response pathway in vivo. We have generated a unique mouse line which has continuos activation of the hypoxia response and has allowed us to study the effects of long-term activation of this pathway. We were the first to show that such mice are protected against cardiac and skeletal muscle ischemia. We recently reported ground breaking discoveries that these mice are also protected from obesity, metabolic dysfunction and atherosclerosis, and importantly, this protection was also demonstrated in wild-type mice treated with a pharmacologic HIF-P4H inhibitor.

Car thefts on the rise
September 6, 2017 By barksupport
If car owners think the improved security now fitted to most new vehicles has forced car thieves to move on to easier targets, think again! Empirical evidence suggest that they are now just targeting older model vehicles, but car thefts are not reducing.
According to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures, there was a 9 per cent national rise in car theft numbers last year. In 2016, there were 56,086 motor thefts – the highest level since 2012 and up from 51,525 in 2015.
In the worst-performing state, Victoria, motor thefts rose by 25 per cent, while Queensland was up 19 per cent and South Australia 10 per cent. All other states and territories recorded decreases.
Three-quarters of stolen vehicles were taken from outbuildings, such as garages and carports, or residential land, including driveways and streets.
Four of the top 10 hot spots in Australia were in Queensland, with Brisbane City, Gold Coast, Logan and Townsville named as Queensland's danger zones.
It's important to be vigilant and take preventive measures to reduce the chances of vehicle loss. This includes ensuring your vehicle is locked and parked in a safe area and making sure you have placed your keys in a safe place.
The car makes most susceptible for theft were the Nissan Pulsar 1995-2000 models (932 stolen in the year), Holden's VE Commodore 2006-13 (860) and Toyota Hilux 2005-2011 (759).
Also remember, one way to avoid a dispute with the insurance company as to the value of a stolen vehicle is to look at insuring the vehicle for Agreed Value at the time the insurance is arranged. We can assist with answering any questions or queries you have regarding your car policy
