Having the victim and the case detective look alike isn't a new idea. But I was inspired to create the Kate Springer character when I was at the park with my then two children. That day I saw a grandfather there with his granddaughter. There was an odd dynamic between the two. Now I'm pretty good at reading moods, and I could tell by the girl's body language she was uncomfortable with the touch of her grandfather. I'm a mom. I know the difference between when a child is being moody and when something else is bothering them. This was definitely something else. I regret not striking up a conversation with the child but soon after they arrived, my son fell down, scraped his knee, thus ending our day out. I've never been able to get that little girl out of my head. And in my writer's mind, she developed into something more. Eventually, I created a whole scenario around her thinking what her life would be like if she grew up the victim of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her grandfather. Thus Kate Springer was born. I took it a step further, wondering what if Kate became a detective and one day looked into the face of a thirteen-year-old victim, realizing it was like looking into a mirror. What kinds of emotions would it stir up? Would the memories of Kate's life at thirteen come rushing back?
A forest fire burning in the mountains surrounding a remote California village interrupts the Oktoberfest celebration, followed by the discovery of the mayor who has been beheaded. Sheriff's Detective Dex Stafford concludes everybody hated the mayor for different and very good reasons, but nobody will talk. His nerves fraying, Stafford finds himself involved with his partner's hysterical daughter, at a time when he fears his partner is on the take. His mother moves in with him, bringing a Jack Russell who hates him, and stories about his father he doesn't want to hear.
Patrol Officer Holly Seabright of the village's security force becomes a prickly ally in uncovering the hints and whispers of something much worse than the murder of the mayor. Stafford pools resources with the attractive and smart patrol officer on a twisted trail of discovery as winter and the big snows shut down the town. A killer beyond his imagining haunts the town. Sometime soon, unless he can stop it, there will be another death, and then still another.
I don't see much stuff like mine. I'd love to read some though. I've been told I have a nasty wit and a sharp tongue. I can't help noticing mean things people do to each other.
Apply the seat of pants to your writing chair for long periods of time and don't give up.
I am the author of No Dice and Rip-Off, featuring Detective Dave Mason of the Santa Monica Police Department and his girlfriend Ginger McNair, a community activist. She was a long-time Santa Monica activist and divides her time between Santa Monica and the peaceful mountain village that is somewhat like the setting of Payback. However, only nice people live there.
Over the years I've been a habitual do-gooder in local good causes, particularly the SPCA.
I've always been entertained observing the public and private face of local politicians in the California mountain village where I live. You've never seen such puffed up, inflated egos, imagining themselves as power brokers in the village bar. Ah, the strut and swagger.
That's what I wanted to write about. I also wanted to tell the stories of the people that make the village work, the guys in maintenance and at the dump site, the patrol officers, the road crew, and the waitresses in the Bistro.

Facebook's Updating its Ad Preferences Hub to Make it Easier to Control Your Personal Ad and Data Settings
Andrew Hutchinson Content and Social Media Manager
Facebook is planning to roll out a new update of its Ad Preferences tool which will simplify the listings into three defined categories, and provide more insight into how any changes you make to such will impact your on-platform experience.
As outlined by Facebook's Rob Leathern, the new update will clarify what users can control, and how each specific element relates.
"Over the next few months, we'll be rolling out a redesigned Ad Preferences. None of the transparency and controls are going away, but now it'll be easier to navigate."
As you can see in the above screenshots, the listings will be split into specific sections for:
Advertisers - Provides insight into specific advertisers, and ads you've been shown
Ad Topics - Enables you to see which topics Facebook thinks you're interested in, and to opt out of any categories
Data - Displays how Facebook gathers data about you for ad targeting, which you can also choose to remove from consideration within this listing
These tools are already available within the current Ad Preferences listings, but the new format will make it easier to control each specific element, and understand what any changes you make will have, with more detailed descriptions on each, outlining its part in the broader process.
Facebook has been working to provide users with more control option on the ads they're shown, and the data they share, by adding in more transparency measures and options to the Ad Preferences dashboard.
Back in January, Facebook added more detail on how advertisers are targeting you, based on third-party data tracking and other means, giving users even more capacity to understand how the system works, and how they can manage such.
This new update will make it easier again for people to maintain full control over their data - though Facebook could still do more to prompt users to check such regularly, in order to keep your preferences up to date, and to raise awareness of the various options available.
The new Ad Preferences layout will be launched in the next few months.

  <title>Tabbed feature inspector</title>
  <purpose>
This sample demonstrates how to create a custom object inspector. Custom object inspectors allow you to control the information that's returned to the user when selected features are inspected. The custom inspector calculates and reports the area and perimeter for the selected polygons, length, and coordinates for selected lines and points. It also reports the total number of selected features.

The custom information is shown in the second panel of a tabbed control. The first panel of the control shows the standard information for the feature. A command button is also created for the extension classid value to be added to the feature class so it can recognize the extension.

Stephen Hester's RBS pay deals worth over £11m since 2008
Following Stephen Hester's decision to waive his 2011 bonus, attention is also likely to fall on other RBS executives' pay
Stephen Hester, the chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland, has taken home more than £11m in shares and cash since being parachuted in to run the bailed-out bank in October 2008.
An analysis of his complex pay deals following his decision to waive an award of 3.6m shares worth nearly £1m shows he is also sitting on tranches of shares awarded in 2010 and 2011 – 8.6m and 10.1m respectively. These have a value of around £4.8m at the current share price of 26p. He will have to hit performance targets for these awards to pay out in 2013 and 2014.
The complexity of Hester's pay package is typical of boardroom pay deals. He has a basic salary of £1.2m, plus annual bonuses (which he waived on Sunday night) and a long-term incentive plan linked to his three-year performance deal. On top of that, he gets fringe benefits, which usually include perks such as private health cover, and an annual pension contribution paid in cash.
To lure him to take on the role in 2008, Hester was handed a golden hello of 10.4m RBS shares, which at the time were worth £6.5m. By the time he received them, however, the share price had fallen back and the bank's annual reports and stock exchange disclosures show their eventual value was closer to £4m.
Valuing executive pay deals is not a precise science. It is often dependent on the share price and the final payout often depends on meeting performance targets attached to each separate award of shares through the long-term incentive plans (Ltips).
In 2009, Hester was handed 4.8m shares and an option to buy a further 9.5m for 37p each in 2012, provided certain performance targets were met. Last week, the bank's board admitted that it did "not expect his Ltip award maturing in 2012 to meet its performance conditions based on the current share price. This would mean a zero value".
While Hester has declined his bonus for 2011, the bank will already be making provisions to pay him for 2012.
He could be awarded shares with a value of up to £4.8m for his long-term incentive plan and shares valued up to £3m for his annual bonus – but there is no certainty he will qualify for the entire payout. This information will become clearer when the bank publishes its annual report next month.
Attention may now switch to other top RBS executives. Finance director Bruce van Saun could be in line for an annual bonus of 2.25m shares – worth around £600,500 at the current price.
Senior RBS bankers outside the boardroom will be expecting to share in a bonus pool worth an estimated £500m in the coming weeks, and they are also waiting to find out how many shares will be released to them under awards they received in 2009 but had to hold for three years.
Ellen Alemany, head of the US arm of the business, could receive up to 6m shares, while the head of UK corporate banking, Chris Sullivan, and the chief administrative officer, Ron Teerlink, could receive around 1.8m shares each.
If he hits performance targets, John Hourican, head of the investment bank, could receive up to 21.3m shares in April – worth around £5m at last night's price – and options on another 7.4m shares that give him the right to buy at 28p. Every 1p gain in the share price would then be worth £74,000 to him.

They had the perfect pool, covered patio, pool table and top-notch audio/visual equipment – a great environment for entertaining friends and family. But, these clients in Richmond wanted to take it one step further and make their home the unquestioned party headquarters. They wanted to add a custom bar.
These nice folks discovered TriFection thanks to a kitchen project we'd completed earlier for their friends. They were impressed with the craftsmanship and wanted something similarly beautiful, functional and unique. They already had the perfect spot for the bar – an open area near the home's entry that was currently empty and serving no real purpose. It practically screamed for a bar. All they need was a trustworthy custom cabinetmaker that could turn the vision into a reality.
We began their project by sampling various wood species and stain colors. Our goal: achieve the best match for their pool table. We settled on solid beech wood with a Golden Maple stain. We then listened carefully to their entertainment needs as we designed the bar from scratch. This level of customization is what separates TriFection's cabinetry work from many others.
It's a bar. It's a custom cabinet. It's beautiful.
The elegantly wood paneled bar features a wine rack, two beverage coolers, an ice bucket, and two wine chillers built into the serving area countertop. This is one bar that will never run dry.
Behind the bar, a mirrored wall-mounted unit features a wine glass rack and ample shelf space for an array of adult beverages. The look and finish so naturally complement the pool table and surrounding space, it's hard to believe the bar wasn't always there.
TriFection's custom cabinet team worked hard to complete the project just in time for football season. And, our clients wasted no time putting it to good use, hosting parties in a bigger and better way than ever before.
While pouring on accolades for TriFection's creativity, craftsmanship and professionalism, our clients have already told us they have more projects in mind for next year. Nothing would please us more than making it a double.

Explore historical and projected climate data, climate data by sector, impacts, key vulnerabilities and what adaptation measures are being taken. Explore the overview for a general context of how climate change is affecting Algeria.
The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria is located in northwestern Africa and is now the largest country in Africa since the independence of Southern Sudan in 2011. The majority of the country is comprised of desert, with extensive mountains to the east (the Ahaggar mountains). Over 34% of the population lives in rural areas, and is heavily concentrated in the fertile natural resource rich coastal area. Unemployment coupled with rising food prices are some of the greatest challenges Algeria faces today. The country's economy is highly dependent on the energy sector, with fuel exports comprising over 98% of total exports and making up the bulk of its foreign exchange. Reducing economic and spatial disparities and generating employment are high on the government's list of priorities; this, however, is highly dependent on the stability of hydrocarbon prices, access and quality of basic services, and development of the country's infrastructure.
The National Climate Committee headed by the Minister of Environment is responsible for coordinating, monitoring and assessing national policies and programs on climate change in Algeria. The National Climate Change Agency will be the body responsible for the implementation of the country's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Algeria is also developing a national climate change adaptation plan. Meanwhile, the NDC is regarded as the National Climate Plan with the targets and actions to be achieved by 2030. Algeria ratified the Paris Agreement on October 20, 2016.

Social Criticism, Parody and Satire in Tarantino's Django Unchained
Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained tackles the difficult historical legacy of American systematic racism, from the perspective of the genre film, in this case, the Western. However, following Tarantino's own style, the Western also transforms into a theatre of absurdity, to the extent that the violence of the genre is ampilified such that violence becomes a parody of itself: the violence is so forceful that the film in a sense criticizes violence by rendering it absurd. However, what makes the film more than a mere commentary on violence, which would place it in the same strand of other Tarantino films, such as Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, is that it directly addressed the complicated racial issues which have been constitutive of the American past. In so far as the United States' history is constituted by systematic racism, Tarantino's film forces the viewer to re-think this racism from a new perspective.

The racism becomes part of a genre film, whereby Tarantino essentially imagines a scenario where an African-American slave could gain revenge on the dominant system which has reduced him to a subhuman status. In this way, Tarantino also creates a satire of the American historical system. Namely, by taking the classic American genre film of the Western, and now placing an African-American as its hero, against the dominant whites, Tarantino creates a parody of the American value system which is also a cutting example of social critique.
The Western itself is a classical American genre. The stereotypes of American pop culture on the international level are closely associated with images of the cowboy and the Wild West. Even from an American perspective, American political culture likes to play this same face to the world, for example, in the form of President Bush and the Hollywood actor Reagan, who bear clear resemblances to American pop culture icons such as John Wayne. In this sense, the Western is the genre that best summarizes American ideology.
This is why Tarantino's use of the Western is so significant for his social criticism. He wants to demonstrate the radical injustice that has constituted American history. However, he does not do this by presenting a narrative exclusively from outside the compass of American ideology. Rather, Tarantino wants to state that the dominant trends of American history are shaped by systematic racism. Therefore, he also uses the dominant pop cultural form of the Western as a genre and a framework to analyze this same relationship. But in Tarantino's film, the classical roles of the Western are now reversed. It is no longer the civilized White man who is the protagonist, but instead the marginalized Other of the African-American who functions as the main hero in the form of Django. Rather, the White man and the system of American institutional racism now becomes the antagonist: precisely the system that is historically glorified in the Western through the images of the White Cowboy conquering the frontier is now reversed, as the White frontier man as a figure of oppression and violence.
In this sense, Tarantino creates both a comedic parody and satire of American culture with Django. Django Unchained possesses the elements of a parody since it provides a faithful imitation of the Western genre. Critics have noticed how stylized the film remains, which demonstrates to have his film part of this genre and received as part of this genre. But what makes the film a parody instead of merely a genre film is precisely the way in which it reverses the traditional racial roles in the Western genre to provide not only a critique of the conventions of this genre, but of American culture as a whole. Tarantino parodies the classical example of American pop culture, the Western, so as to show the systematic racism of America historically.
At the same time, the film can also be understood as a satire. The film is a satire in so far as Django's hunt for revenge essentially functions as a ridiculing of the dominant racist American system. The vengeance at the center of the film is justified: Django opposes the cruelty that has been forced upon him by a racist social system that is the United States. At the same time, the viewer sympathisizes with Django, and those who oppose him are the objects of ridicule and degradation, since with Django's bloody revenge he is also questioning the legitimacy of the system itself. For this reason, the film is also a powerful tool of social criticism. It uses the comedic genres in a new way. It employs violence, what is intuitively the exact opposite of comedy, in a way that parodies and satires the genre conventions of the dominant American genre of the Western. But in doing so, Quentin Tarantino also demonstrates the sense in which the American pop culture is itself a racist institution: he uses the racism of the Western against the Western and thereby creates through parody and satire a new message of the relationship between the dominant ethnic group of the White in American culture and the systematic racism practiced against African-Americans. This forces the viewer to re-think the relations that constitute American history in a new light, a skilled use of parody and satire, which also bears the force of social critique.

I have a BW system with lot of master data but I would like to use now MDM ... it is possible to extract InfoObjects from BW to MDM ( structure and/or Data)?
You cannot currently extract the structure of your infoObjects into MDM.
You would have to manually create the repository and the tables and the fields. You can then extract the data from BW into the tables in MDM.
Structural transformation from BW to MDM is not possible currently. Regarding data (once you define your MDM repository), you can utilise standard scenarios like BW -> XI -> MDM using files.
with MDM ABAP API Technology IMPORTANT INFORMATION: MDM ABAP API SP04 it is possible to extract data to MDM.
Apart from that, I am currently involved in a project which consolidates BI data using MDM. That means creating MDM repositories for Info Objects and loading data into MDM. Then you are able to consolidate the data in MDM using the Data Manager. After that the changes can be reload into BI System.
Everything will be done via ABAP API. No additional XI, files or other manual stuff has to be done.
It will be available with SP05 or earlier.


Monilethrix (also referred to as beaded hair) is a rare condition that affects hair growth. Its most characteristic feature is that individual strands of hair have a beaded appearance like the beads of a necklace. The name monilethrix comes from the Latin word for necklace (monile) and the Greek word for hair (thrix). Affected individuals usually have normal hair at birth, but the hair abnormalities develop within the first few months of life. In mild cases of monilethrix, only hair on the back of the head (occiput) or nape of the neck is affected. In more severe cases, hair over the whole scalp can be affected, as well as pubic hair, underarm hair, eyebrows, eyelashes or hair on the arms and legs. The hair snaps and becomes weak at the follicle causing hair loss.
We can either provide you with a unique, personalised hair replacement system which is completely undetectable, natural looking and bespoke to fit your specific requirements, an in stock ready-to-wear designer wig or hairpiece or provide you with specialised non-medical treatment programmes and products to strengthen hair and enhance hair growth.


For over 17 years, the United States has expended considerable blood and treasure to deny safe haven to extremist groups in Afghanistan. Despite this, the Afghan government struggles to assert its authority over the entirety of the country's territory, while the Taliban—which governed Afghanistan at the time of the 9/11 attacks—remains a potent force that necessitates incorporation in any negotiated political settlement in the future. Meanwhile, the United States stands on the precipice of significant changes to its longest war. President Trump has ordered the Department of Defense to present him with options to reduce—perhaps entirely—U.S. forces in Afghanistan, which could dramatically alter the country's future and risk undermining the United States' hard-fought gains there. Likewise, the departure of Defense Secretary James Mattis calls into question the Trump administration's preparedness to manage the consequences of significant changes to U.S. policy.

Q: cvent soap api error (php) I'm trying to use php to get access to the Cvent soap API to display a list of upcoming events. I found this: https://github.com/gcanivet/php-cvent
I'm getting "INVALID_CVENT_HEADER_VALUE" when it comes to this function:
public function SearchByFilter($objecttype, $type, $filters){
    $response = $this->client->Search((object) array('ObjectType' => $objecttype, 'CvSearchObject' => (object) array('SearchType' => $type, 'Filter' => $filters)));
    return $response;
}

I've echoed out what's being sent to that function:
$objecttype = 'Event';
$type = 'AndSearch';
$filters =

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [Field] => EventStartDate
            [Operator] => Greater than
            [Value] => 2016-11-28T00:00:00
        )

)

All I've done is save the file, add my credentials and attempted to echo out $events
$account    = /* my account */
$username   = /* my username */
$password   = /* my password */

require('/templates/home/assets/CventClient.class.php');
$cc = new CventClient();
$cc->Login($account,$username,$password);
$events = $cc->GetUpcomingEvents();

I've found this documentation https://custom.cvent.com/5A44061C587B4DF999B70EC98DCA9A84/files/eb1d01535a124863a290b36fa4cd8bd3.pdf but I'm not sure what's wrong, or why it's not working. I have had no experience with SOAP whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

A: The returned result when you var_dump($event) is the keys of the event. To get the title of the event you have to get the eventId.
 `require('/templates/home/assets/CventClient.class.php');

 $cc = new CventClient();

 $cc->Login($account,$username,$password);

 $events = $cc->GetUpcomingEvents();

  foreach($events as $event)
    {
    $response = $cc->GetEventById($event);
    //This retrieves the title of all events
     $eventsTitle = $response->EventTitle;

     var_dump($eventsTitle );
   }`

To save a world whose future is destined for destruction,
one must conquer the past and seize the present.
It is a new age of industrialization. The gods have been forsaken, replaced with machines that suck the life out of nature. Like the never-ending flow of time, the dying planet and those cursed to inhabit its polluted land cannot stop the impenetrable force of change. Remnants of the ancient world linger, but its days are numbered. The faithless now reach out to science as their new deity. Gargantuan cities of industry—powered by steam engines—have arisen, ruled by a sprawling empire. The imperium rules land, sea, and air with vessels that surpass the poisoned clouds. Meanwhile, the emperor seeks a primeval power that can bring myth and science together. But at what cost? In this existential era of maddening inventions and alchemical concoctions, the struggle of humanity and its survival have taken a toll on the planet for the worst. Only one man stands in the way from the world losing its soul forever.


These past days have been so hot that all I want to do is go around dressed in flowing cotton Kaftans!
"But you're not on vacations yet", you may say. Well, the good news is that we have Pippa Holt to help us survive the heat in style, whether at the beach or in a city, with her stunning hand-woven colourful kaftans that are so chic you can wear them anywhere!
Australian Pippa has quite an international story, having already lived in Melbourne, London, Houston and Dublin. She was born in Melbourne and grew up there, surrounded by two very stylish women; one was her grandmother, Dame Zara Holt, who was married to Australia's Prime Minister and was a fashion designer herself. Back in the 50's, she had a fashion label called Magg and one of the dresses she created is today on display at the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia. The other one is Pippa's mother, who managed the Hermes boutique for 20 years in Melbourne and until very recently, used to go twice a year to Paris buy the collections.
So her interest in fashion came very naturally. After graduating in Fashion Design, Holt started to work as a stylist for Vogue Australia and then, for the British Vogue.
When she moved with her husband from London to Houston, she couldn't think wearing regular clothes in the Texan heat. Then, she found a solution: kaftans made by Mexican weavers, that she would dress up with accessories and wear every day. One year later, back in Europe, her friends kept asking where she had found those beautiful kaftans.
So, after four years and two children, she decided to start in 2016, a collaboration with the Mexican weavers from a small rural community in the middle of nowhere in Mexico. Only a few still knew how to use the ancient technique of hand-weaving the cotton and naturally dying it with crushed insects or sea-snails. These old indigenous traditions were sadly getting lost with time in the Oaxacan community. But thanks to the success of the Pippa Holt Kaftans, these traditions are back in use in that remote village thus allowing the skilled artisans to have now a steady work and a better life and helping provide them with housing and education. It is a very long artisanal process, the kaftans take one month to be finished and because they are all hand-made in natural materials, each kaftan is unique.
Once they are ready, Holt will take the "raw kaftan" and apply high-end finishings to make them more urban, modern and chic. This last step is made at home, in Dublin, Ireland, where she lives with her Irish husband and children. Actually, that's where her base is but she still finds time to continue with her work in London, as a fashion consultant and Contributing Editor at the British Vogue.
Pippa says she calls the kaftans her "holiday heroes" because they pack small and work day and night, on a beach, in a city, with or without a belt. They are really versatile and look fabulous in any situation, depending on the accessories you complete the look with, for example, when in Dublin, the Australian designer wears them layered with a white shirt underneath. Easy to wear, chic and incredibly comfortable, what more could you wish?

The Gunter born 1927 in Danzig, grass is regarded as a prominent representative of German literature. In addition, he made a name as a sculptor, painter and printmaker. Not without its own irony, he said of himself: "As an artist, I am a trained as a writer of unskilled artists."

As a writer Grass 1959 with the first part of the so-called "Danzig Trilogy", "The Tin Drum", known. Since the early 60s Grass developed an ever stronger political commitment, the sustainable reflected in his books. In the 80's created numerous graphic works, which were published in the two-volume work "drawing and writing." Right here occur self-citations out particularly and underline its social criticism.
The trained painter painted what he was: lyrically poetic, idiosyncratic equitably. In grass' images, all three basic types of poetry are shaped into one: drama, epic, and lyric poetry.
Gunter Grass is the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious Nobel Prize in literature. His diverse oeuvre was already shown on numerous exhibitions at home and abroad.
"I guess the artist, and the sculptor Gunter extraordinarily grass. What he produced for half a century, I like it very much and almost always." (Marcel Reich-Ranicki)

Q: Can you take my back catalogue as well?

A: The Content Editor is used for digital distribution, but it is not exclusively for digital distribution, and you can make full use of all other CE features without using it for digital distribution. We also have special offers in place for using the CE for Content & Repertoire Management exclusively.

A: No Problem. We can make a CD, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, Vinyl master in our own studios too and we can arrange for these formats to be produced and shipped to you as well, all at very competitive pricing. See our price list.

A: You can, but it depends what you need... We have a small recording studio, and although limited by floor size generally to small instruments, vocal and voice-over recording, we employ capable recording staff and mixing engineers with state-of-the-art equipment, who always look forward to a challenge.
Q: Is there any limitation to your technical services?
A: To be honest, there's not a lot that we can't do… Audio editing, restoration and mastering, video editing, graphic design and retouching, web design and programming, DVD authoring, CD mastering, audio and video encoding and conversion to virtually any format or codec available on the planet!
Q: Is your streaming secured?
A: Yes, all IP streams are fully secured. A single stream is linked to a single ticket sale, and can only be accessed a specified number of times. Furthermore, streaming is only possible on a certified and authorized player as supplied by The Concert Channel.
Q: Who is your back-up partner?
A: Our technical set-up allows us to be our own back-up partner. Furthermore, we have in-house redundant systems for critical functionality, such as stream authorization. The data (including customer databases and audio/video programs) is stored in multiple locations. For live concerts, we use dual redundant uplinks to our CDN partner.
Q: How can we monitor sales and the concert?
A: Real-time sales data can be made available via a protected web interface or an XML feed. The concert live stream can be monitored online from anywhere in the world. A few days after the concert, actual stream viewership data from our CDN partner will be reconciled with ticket sales data, and made available for review as well.
Q: How does your Geo-blocking work?
· Purchasing a ticket for a concert requires a billing address in a territory where viewing is allowed.
· If required by the content owner, actual viewing can also be restricted: if a stream authorization request is received from an IP address which maps to a territory where viewing is not allowed, the request will be denied.
Q: How do your payment methods work?
A: accept all major credit cards and selected local direct-debit systems as well as PayPal via a third-party payment provider.
Q: Who is your mobile billing partner?
A: We currently do not have any plans for mobile billing. If required for a certain event, we can easily implement reverse SMS billing though existing payment provider partners.
Q: Which bandwidth do you use for streaming?
A: We offer viewers variable bitrate (VBR), with a target bit rate set to work well with popular connection types. We typically strive to make one average-quality stream available, one high-quality stream and one very high-quality stream (for users with 4Mb/s+ connections and big-screen requirements). The actual number and bitrate of the streams tends to depend on the source location.
Q: What are your internet connectivity demands?
A: encoders are feeding our CDN partner systems via 100Mb/s Ethernet connections, which are directly connected to a high-speed backbone network (e.g. multiple 10Gb/s links from our Rotterdam data centre).
Q: What is your normal ticket price?
A: Ticket pricing depends on the nature of the event, and can be set by the content provider. In general, we consider 50% of the lowest venue ticket price (with a maximum of €19,99) to be the best price. Furthermore we can use price tiers such as "Budget", "Regular" and "Premium".
Q: How long after the concert do we receive the balance of the ticket sales?
A: This depends on the payment systems used. Most systems account within 45 days after the month of the concert, and then pay within 30 days. However, some micropayment systems require 12-14 weeks after the end of the month of the ticket sales.
Q: I want my royalty accounting to be less of an administrative hassle. I would really like it to be painless and problem-free. Can you help?
A: Of course. In fact, whether or not you distribute digitally through us, we can take care of your complete royalty accounting operations (except for making and sending the actual invoices). As long as all of your Contract Chains are entered correctly into in the Content Editor and your releases and sales figures are supplied to us, we can account to you, your licensees, licensors, artists, writers, composers etc., all to the conditions and percentages stipulated in your contracts. This means all your licensees (either directly or through you) will receive their own statements, designed in your own look and feel type stationery.
Q: Do you have any repertoire that I can use on my releases?
A: Yes, we have 10,000 + tracks available for licensing across many, many genres.
Q: I want my content to be available to others for compilation/licensing. Is that possible?
A: We can make (parts of) your repertoire available for review, compilation and licensing to other providers within the Content Editor.
Q: Can you advise or help me to compile from my own (and other provider's) content?
A: Yes, some of our staff specialise in concept development and compilation and can assist you in creating new compilations, rebranding of existing releases and development of albums series.


For many companies, a site is the most valuable external-facing asset they own. It's one of the major ways potential customers find, assess, and contact them. For a growing number of companies, it's the only way potential customers do these things.
That's why, at Range, we emphasize keeping your site up-to-date with branding, business goals, and the latest technology. We're continually improving our site for these reasons and we strongly encourage our clients to do the same.
But how do you know whether your site needs a bit of tweaking, a full-blown redesign, or something in between?
What are your business goals? Does your site move you closer to these goals or allow you to track them? If your site isn't connected to any of your business goals, what purpose does it currently serve?
If you have any active marketing campaigns, can you track their impact on your site? Can you display similar materials on your homepage or landing pages? Did you know your site can be a big asset to your campaigns? There are so many available tools and analytics that can help you monitor campaign efficacy and impact within your website!
We're pretty big brand advocates. And if you have an existing style guide, we take that seriously. If your site is one of the primary ways users interact with you, and your site is off-brand, your users will likely either be confused by your identify or settle on whatever identity they see online. You see why we take your style guide seriously?
This follows closely with #1. If your site doesn't reflect your mission (reason for existing), your services (what you can do), or your offerings (what you're selling), why does it exist? And what is it doing for you?
Most browsers will not display Flash components unless the user specifically requests this. Seriously, if your site is built in Flash, email us now.
Sometimes, it's possible to expand an existing site. Other times, the framework isn't extensible or is so bloated it can't accommodate new pages or features. If you anticipate expanding your site alongside your business, the framework should be able to handle that expansion. If it can't, you may need a new setup.
Acquisitions and mergers can dramatically impact your business, marketing, and brand goals. If this is your situation, does your site support new goals and allow you to make updates?
If users pull up your site and walk away to make coffee or a phone call while it loads, that's not a good sign. In an age of instant-gratification, you're likely losing potential customers that are (not) waiting around for your content to load.
Chances are, you have those major components in there for a reason. If you've outgrown them and no longer need the functionality, it's probably time to streamline your code (see #8). If you do still need them and they're not working, it's time to revamp and get a better solution in place asap.
Most users will take the path of least resistance when it comes to exploring your site. So if important information is hidden in the third navigation tier or tucked away on the side of an obscure About page, you can bank on it staying hidden. Do your analytics show that users are making it to important pages?
This is a popular reason for companies without full-time developers on staff. Even if your site is beautiful, on-brand, and efficient, it's going to be a pain to manage if every bit of content is hardcoded and requires developer assistance to change.
If users pulls up your site on their phone and have to zoom in about four times before they can read the desktop-style menu, it's certainly time for an update. Especially when some studies suggest that users are accessing the internet more from mobile devices than desktops these days. Are you driving away potential customers?
While we hope you have a custom and branded 404 page, we also hope your customers never get a chance to see it. If visitors are more familiar with the layout of your 404 page than the layout of your site, it's definitely time for an upgrade.
We build websites that our clients are proud to show off. If you cringe and mumble something about "a work in progress" every time a potential customer asks for your URL, let us give you a site you can't wait to share!
If your customers repeatedly tell you that your site is hard to navigate, crashes frequently, or frustrates them, it's in your best business interests to explore a more user-friendly way to represent your company (and keep your customers).
If any of these describe your current site, it's time to reach out to experts and explore your options.

MEPs are set to urge the EU to step up its efforts to eradicate female genital mutilation (FGM) in a resolution to be debated on Tuesday afternoon and voted on on Wednesday.
To mark the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) on Tuesday 6 February, MEPs will quiz the EU Commission on the progress of its strategy ''towards the elimination of FGM'' and action taken to date.
In a resolution to be put to a vote on Wedensday, MEPs are likely to call on the Commission and member states to include FGM prevention measures in all policy areas (including health, social work, education, justice, etc.), to step up cross-sector cooperation and to guarantee a strong preventive action in refugee camps.
MEPs are also set to voice concern that, although criminal law protects women from FGM in all member states, only a handful of cases are brought to justice and that training schemes are especially needed for those responsible for FMG detection, investigation and prosecution.
According to the World Health Organisation, at least 200 million women and girls around the world are living with the harmful consequences of FGM. In the EU, the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) reports victims in at least 13 member states (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden and the UK).
FGM comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is recognised internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women.
The UN's Sustainable Development Goals call for an end to FGM by 2030, under Goal 5 on Gender Equality.


Types of Plywood like Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Associations (HPVA) defines Hardwood plywood as a manufactured panel made up of three or more thin plies of hardwood (ie. red oak), laid on top of each other, with the grain of each ply running perpendicular to the one on either side of it. Plywood offers a strong, inexpensive, and environmentally responsible alternative to its solid wood counterparts.
Types of Plywood like substrate such as Veneer Core, MDF, or Particleboard are typically faced with hardwood species, including cherry, walnut, ash, white oak, red oak, birch, maple, mahogany, rosewood, teak, and a large number of other species. Decorative hardwood plywood is generally used for cabinets, wall-paneling, furniture, and mill-work.
Marine plywood is manufactured from durable face and core veneers, with few defects; so it performs longer in both humid and wet conditions and resists delaminating and fungal attack. Its construction is such that it can be used in environments where it is exposed to moisture for long periods. Each wood veneer will be the same species throughout (Fir, Okoume, and Meranti), and have minimal core gap, limiting the chance of trapping water in the plywood and hence providing a solid and stable glue bond. It uses an exterior Water and Boil Proof (WBP) glue.
Okoumé and Meranti Marine plywood can be graded as being compliant with BS-1088 or BS-6566, which is a British Standard for marine plywood. Some marine plywood has a Lloyd's of London stamp that certifies it to be BS 1088 or 6566 compliant.
BS-1088 grading requires the same species throughout (face, back, and core), defect-free A Grade Face veneer with no repairs. Back veneer is to have no more than two repairs. Both Face and Back Veneer are a minimum of 1mm thick after sanding and core gaps cannot exceed 1mm.
Marine Fir AB is marine-grade plywood that is produced entirely of Fir veneers. The Panel is sanded on both faces. The maximum core-gap size permitted is 1/8 inch. Its exposure durability rating is EXTERIOR and the glue used is a water resistant structural adhesive. It is considered a premium grade panel for use in situations where these characteristics are required.
Marine plywood is frequently used in the construction of boats, docks, outdoor signs, counter top underlayment, and anywhere that requires prolonged exposure to outdoor elements.
MDO is made with a high-quality paper that is saturated with phenolic resin and overlaid on exterior-grade plywood panels. Specially selected veneers, beneath the overlay, provides a smooth surface ideal for painting. MDO is manufactured with waterproof resins that meet or exceed all veneer-grade, adhesion, and construction requirements.
Innerplies and backs are all "C" grade or better. The overlay is bonded to the specially selected veneer for a smooth, paintable surface. MDO may be specified with paper overlay on one or two sides and primed or unprimed.
MDO is generally used for truck and trailer liners, signs, soffits and fascias, boxes and crates, exterior color accent panels, garage doors panels, cabinets and built-ins, and any applications where long lasting paint or coating performance is required.
Baltic Birch, also known as "Russian Birch", is an imported plywood that is light in color. Baltic Birch is typically manufactured as a multi-ply product, having more plies(or layers) than standard domestic plywood. Baltic birch is a plywood product native to the northeastern region of Europe around the Baltic Sea.
Baltic Birch is most widely know for its multi-ply construction that gives it an attractive edge. Baltic Birch is valued for its appealing light color, and features a uniform grain, smooth texture, and outstanding durability. Baltic Birch varies in thickness and contains an odd number of plies. The two outer plies, which comprise the front and back, show vertical wood grain which typically runs lengthwise throughout the sheets. The inner plies have alternating horizontal or vertical grain, which provides increased strength and resistance to warping or moisture damage.
Baltic Birch is widely used because of its pleasing appearance; it is a wood typically used for cabinetry and other furniture. Baltic birch is suitable for a variety of projects, from cabinetmaking to building construction.
Softwood panel is usually made either of spruce, pine, and fir (collectively known as spruce-pine-fir or SPF) and is typically used for construction and industrial purposes including sheathing, roofing, sub-flooring, crating, and packaging.
The number of plies depends on the thickness and grade of the sheet but at least three are required as the minimum odd number of plies. Plywood for sub-flooring applications is often tongue and groove; this prevents one board from moving up or down relative to its neighbor, this provides a solid feeling floor when the joints do not lie over joists.
Tropical plywood is made of mixed species of tropical wood. Originally from the Asian region, it is now also manufactured in African and South American countries. Tropical plywood is superior to softwood plywood because of its density, strength, evenness of layers, and high quality. It is the preferred choice for construction purposes in many regions because of its low cost.
Flexible plywood is designed for making curved parts, a practice which dates back to the 1850s in furniture making.
Bending plywood comes in long grain and short grain sheets with a very thin cross grain central ply and two thicker exterior plies. Bending plywood is often glued together in two layers, once it is formed into the desired curve, so that the final shape will be stiff and resist movement. Often, decorative wood veneers are added as a surface layer.
Other types of plywood include fire-retardant, pressure-treated, moisture-resistant, wire mesh, anti-slip, and aircraft. Each of these products is designed to fill a need in industry.

Independent Non-Executive Chairman Timothy Antonie Just Bought A Handful Of Shares In Netwealth Group Limited (ASX:NWL)
February 21, 2021 • Updated January 27, 2023
Whilst it may not be a huge deal, we thought it was good to see that the Netwealth Group Limited (ASX:NWL) Independent Non-Executive Chairman, Timothy Antonie, recently bought AU$82k worth of stock, for AU$0.47 per share. Nevertheless, it only increased their shareholding by a minuscule percentage, and it wasn't a massive purchase by absolute value, either.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Netwealth Group
The Joint MD & Director, Michael Heine, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$76m worth of shares at a price of AU$13.90 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of AU$15.25. We generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they did so below the current price, because it implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don't know for sure what they think of the stock price. It is worth noting that this sale was only 3.9% of Michael Heine's holding.
Over the last year, we can see that insiders have bought 350.00k shares worth AU$165k. On the other hand they divested 6.02m shares, for AU$84m. All up, insiders sold more shares in Netwealth Group than they bought, over the last year. You can see the insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below.

Does Netwealth Group Boast High Insider Ownership?
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Netwealth Group insiders own about AU$2.2b worth of shares (which is 58% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
What Might The Insider Transactions At Netwealth Group Tell Us?
It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchases. But we can't say the same for the transactions over the last 12 months. The recent buying by some insiders , along with high insider ownership, suggest that Netwealth Group insiders are fairly aligned, and optimistic. While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision. While conducting our analysis, we found that Netwealth Group has 1 warning sign and it would be unwise to ignore this.
