By the conventional wisdom of the '10s, this album is an anomaly: There's no Auto-Tune, no drums, and hardly any production at all. You can even hear the room echoes when this acoustic band strikes up a sing-along chorus. Two immensely catchy singles, "Ho Hey" and "Stubborn Love," got The Lumineers noticed, but the album gets its staying power from subtler tunes like "Slow It Down," which makes effective use of Neyla Pekarek's cello. Heartfelt, uncluttered performances of terrific songs? What a concept.

AXAN " common mode" filter is a nano-crystalline core, its magnetic permeability is exceptional and it can be used in a really wide frequency range (up to 50 MHz).
Used as a common mode filter, its absorption rate is higher than ferrites ones without any risks of saturation, nor abnormal heating, nor any side effects on the inverter.
AXAN filter removes the necessity of shielding motor cable in most of IGBT inverter applications. AXAN filter solves the emitting problem for garland cables (travelling crane, mobile wagon, etc).
AXAN filter greatly reduces corrosion risks on motor's bearings. Associated with a sinus filter, AXAN filter gives a complete relevant solution for the couple inverter/motor.


Founded in 1983, the Blue Ridge Medical Center (BRMC) opened its doors in 1985. Its mission is to provide patient-centered quality health care to all people in Nelson County and neighboring areas and to improve their community's health and well-being through prevention, education, and treatment.
Collaboration and outreach are two areas that make BRMC unique. They have partnered with Region 10 and with Horizon Behavioral Health to better integrate care for those with serious mental illness. Over the years, BRMC has played a key role in creating an inter-agency collaboration among local schools, other health care providers, human service agencies, JABA, MACAA, the Health Department, and the Department of Social Services to identify and prioritize community health needs. As a result, BRMC has gradually moved to a model of integrated care, adding dental, behavioral health, and pharmaceutical care to their suite of services. Overall, BRMC has become better at identifying the specific needs of patients, shaping their services around those needs, and working to equalize disparities in their patients' access to quality healthcare.
When then CEO Peggy Whitehead first heard about the CNE in 2008, she signed her organization up right away, making BRMC a founding member. Since she first discovered the CNE, Peggy has valued our eNewsletter, appreciating that a useful listing of grants, news about the nonprofit community, and other nonprofit resources are just a click away.
It was through the weekly eNewsletter that Peggy Whitehead found out about the CNE's Leadership Transition Services. When she became the CEO in 2004, BRMC did not have a succession plan in place, so she was encouraged to find resources at the CNE to begin this important process, especially since she would be transitioning from the CEO position.
One of BRMC's staff members, Brittani Gowen, got a lot from a CNE marketing workshop. As a result, BRMC made changes to their marketing message, conveying more effectively than ever that they are "wide open for new patients." Advertisements look better and branding is consistent. They even made a TV commercial for the first time.
Peggy attended a Donor Roundtable, an event co-hosted by the CNE and the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation to explore how nonprofits can best work with philanthropists. Peggy found the experience so helpful that she sent one of her board members to a similar event. The result?
Another resource that has proved invaluable to Peggy and her team is CNE's Foundation Center, a database of over 11,000,000 grants made available on-site at CNE. In 2008, BRMC was located in an 8,000 square foot building. Leadership realized that they needed to launch a capital campaign to enlarge their space and increase their capacity. BRMC's Board Chair spent a lot of time using CNE's Foundation Center for research into possible grants during that campaign in 2009 and 2010. As a result of diligently using the Foundation Center database, BRMC funded a successful campaign to expand to a 26,800 square foot space. This accomplishment was a key milestone in the organization's evolution.
BRMC has always provided its services from its building in Nelson County. Now they are moving in a new direction, hoping to expand their geographic footprint. They are reaching out into Amherst County through the Amherst Wellness Center, and are looking for more co-location opportunities. Overall, they are aiming for a larger regional presence.

"So, unfortunately for St. Mary's here in the second half, Corey, the officials are finding Brad Waldow."
Who was the other guy, he was an awesome announcer and rocked the bow tie well!
No.. best line was the missed layup by SMC at the end of the half... color analyst said : "Million dollar execution, ten cent result"
Totally! That was hilarious...reminds me of my game A LOT!
That had me laughing pretty hard. I'm terrible at remembering lines like that, but it's definitely one worth remembering.
Terrible whistle results in St. Mary's at the line for two free throws.
Commentator remarks on the call being iffy.
St. Mary's player misses both shots.
The analyst last night was Corey Williams. Ex-Arizona Wildcat. He's worked for Fox as well.
Similar to "He's like Ikea, all of the parts none of the finish"
"Million dollar move with a 10 cent finish" was great.


Let me take this opportunity to thank each parents for registering your kids for this fall 2013 youth Training Camp. The registration is kept open for the next two weeks Until September 21st. First of all its a privilege for these kids to be trained under the coaching of players of International repute like Asif Mujtaba & Mervyn Dillon, State players Dhandapani Devarasan, Arun Vittala, and also some specialist coaches local in Dallas (Raj Shimpi, Vamsi Krishna Chada, Veer Patel). Suhas Naik is still recovering from his knee surgery.
We just received an email update from Victor's Son that his father was involved in an accident and is currently recovering. We shall all pray for his speedy recovery as he was very excite to be with the Dallas Youth Cricket League kids.
We as the coaches and Management of the program thoroughly enjoyed the T20 (under 12 games) and 30 overs (Under 17 games) played during the summer season. We also enjoyed coaching kids during Sunday evenings with specific skill training.
Starting this fall we are looking forward to take it to a very higher level with the help of the experts mentioned above. We hope your kids enjoy it and learn to be better cricketers in the future. In the interest of youth for this fall program to be affective there are couple of guidelines which is to be followed by each and every parents.
These coaches have asked us to make sure that the parents give them space during the entire training sessions. Please refrain from entering the coaching arena for the comfort of the coaches and let them focus as much as they can to train your kids.
1) Please be there 15 mins early at the Camp Venue Russell Creek Ground G3.
3) Please allow your kids alone in the coaching arena so that they can mingle easily with the coach. Which in-turn helps the coach to know your kids better.
4) Remember to Leave the Parks and Fields Clean: Field usage is a privilege given to us by the City of Plano and Allen Parks. Please show respect of playing fields by taking away all garbage when your practice is over. Garbage in – Garbage out.
5) Coaches are responsible for conducting safe, positive and instructive practices.
Coaches will Each kid on the Day 1 will be screened and put in a level that the coach finds him appropriate of. Each kid will be classified into different levels depending on his current skills. This is to focus at their different skills at different levels.
I am going to repeat the following once again as the kids will be working out quite a bit during these 10 sessions it is extremely important that the parents bring sufficient fluids and leave it with the kids and make sure everything is put in their kit bag because the coaches do not want parents in the playing area.
Please try to bring the necessary kit for the kids, we recommend if your kids have all the gear they should bring it to every sessions. (Beginners kids should bring the Bats if they already have) and if you do not have the Bats for the kid please get in touch with me via email so that we can get you in touch with Asif Mujtaba's sports shop.
Once again congratulations on joining the program and look forward to getting to know each and every one of you and your kids as we move along.
The goal of this camp is to increase the level of each kid by a grade which is in line with the vision of the Dallas Youth Cricket League to create a pool of talent which can represent their state, zone or country when the need or opportunity arises. We are in talks with USACA and USYCA to provide opportunity for our kids in this aspect. Your cooperation is highly appreciated in this regard.
Good Luck at the Camps !!!

Review: Blood Bound by Rachel Vincent ★★★★
Blood Bound by Rachel Vincent
Series: Book one in the Unbound series
My Rating: ★★★★
As a bloodtracker, Liv is extremely powerful. And in a world where power is a commodity that can get you killed, Liv's learnt to survive by her own rules.
Rule number one? Trust no one.
But when a friend's daughter goes missing, Liv is bound by a potent magical oath. She can't rest until the child is safe.
And that means trusting her dangerous ex, Cam.
A sinister prophecy tells that she and Cam will be the death of each other, yet Liv's tired of being a slave to destiny. She's ready to play the forces controlling her world at their own game.
This was an absolutely fascinating read. I love it when an author comes up with something new and exciting. Something we haven't already seen a million times before. Another one I really enjoyed discovering this year for this exact reason was Diana Pharaoh Francis' Horngate witches series.
So, the basic set up here is to do with magical bindings, oaths and promises. Being forced to comply against your will, and having the strength to push against such ties to do what you think is right. The magical element was somewhat small in this book, nobody had any really flashy powers as such, and there were no vamps or werewolves (shocking I know), but there are magical or "Skilled" people, and they are, for the most part, either trackers, binders or travellers.
There are two main types of trackers. Our protagonist, Olivia ''Liv'' Warren, is a Blood Tracker. One with an exceptional range which makes her a popular girl. She needs only a small sample of someone's blood to track them down. Another type that we meet is a Name Tracker. With the use of your real names (the more names they have the better) they can trace people within their range.
There were also Flesh Binders who bind with blood tattoos or a contract sealed with blood, and Travellers who can move through shadows. It really was interesting to learn about these abilities and how they came into use. Essentially, the city is split into three sections, two of which are run by opposing Mafia-like factions, and the third is a relatively safe or "neutral" zone. The heads of the two factions are Jake Tower and Ruben Cavazos. Liv works for Ruben.
It's safe to say there is no love lost between Liv and Ruben and she doesn't work for him for the pleasure of his company alone. There is a lot more to this part of the story and I found theirs to be a very weird and slightly twisted working relationship that was nonetheless intriguing to read.
A former lover of Liv's comes back to town, a name tracker called Cam Caballero. It's been six years since they broke up and a lot has happened in that time. We find out exactly what as the story progresses, and interestingly, the story is actually told from a first person perspective equally split between Liv and Cam. I had to do a bit of a double-take when the first switch happened because with it starting out in first person I wasn't expecting it to change, so this aspect was usual, but it really worked.
Overall, this is a gritty, dark world and a story that sucker punches you in the guts a few times before it's finished with you. I was surprised at how quickly I got engrossed in the story and the characters and it managed to shock me once or twice along the way.
I think the main reason it didn't make 5 stars for me was simply the fact that, at one point, a mystery is about to be revealed and they are discussing it for quite some time, but I'd already worked it out about 3 chapters back, so I found myself giving the book the wind it up sign because I already knew what they were getting to. I don't know how obvious this will be to others, or if I'm just some kind of evil genius, but it was a slow section because of that.
The next book is about a different character all together. One of the secondary characters in this story, so it will be interesting to see how different that book feels. Vincent's certainly taking the road less travelled here, and it's great fun to read.

Flagged up by wogblog that the complete 'A Day In The Life' promo has been upped on The Beatles official web page. Could something be coming on a dvd? Would be so cool if there was as Apple dont usually put things out unless its for promoting a product.
I find this exciting - the upload that is not being able to praise Apple for the first time in a while.
I'd guess low thousands. This very uncomplimentary blog puts first week sales of 'Ringo 2012' as 6,300 in the US and 752 in the UK.
From the Macca Report, about a week ago: Paul sings happy 80th birthday to Love actress. Paul and Ringo send birthday wishes to LOVE actress Silvia Aderne who plays Eleanor Rigby .
Examiner has reported that two cd's consisting solely of Beatles tracks from 1962 -> 1964 but not on the Universal label are on sale in Canadian Walmart Stores for $5 each. The sound quality is said to be "horrible"
CD1 - 'Love Me Do ': 'Love Me Do ', 'I Feel Fine ', 'This Boy ', 'I Saw Her Standing There ', 'All My Loving ', 'Please Mister Postman ', 'A Hard Day's Night ', 'It Won't Be Long ', 'If I Fell .
CD2 - 'Can't Buy Me Love ': Can't Buy Me Love ', 'From Me To You ', 'Please Please Me ', 'Do You Want To Know A Secret ', 'I Wanna Be Your Man ,', 'No Reply ', 'Honey Don't ', 'Words Of Love ', 'Mr. Moonlight', 'And I Love Her ', 'You Really Got A Hold On Me ''.
Evening Telegraph article on a Caird Hall guest book from 1975 signed by Paul.
...and posted here too http://www.beatlesbible.com/fo.....6/#p158896 since it happened at the end of a Wings tour.
Examiner article on Paul possibly doing a show in NY this weekend in conjunction with SNL 40.
A bit big of Kanye to say so but i suppose there hasnt been anyone since Elvis Costello really so about time Paul found someone else. Not sure Kanye is filling in tho as Paul and Elvis couldnt work together in the studio that well. I really do like the material Elvis and Paul wrote, just hope this doesnt lead to an Elvis Costello v Kanye West debate as i dont know enough about either.
For anyone going to the NY Fest for Beatles Fans... the Fest was moved to the Hilton Westchester due to a collapsed parking garage at the usual venue.
Hand-written production notes by George Martin from the first week of the 'Help !' sessions in February 1965 are being put on display at The Beatles Story to mark their 50th Anniversary reports the Liverpool Echo.
This show is definitely happening. It's partly by invitation, but some tickets went on sale exclusively at the box office an hour and a half ago.
Not sure where else to post this as there's no thread specifically about the Hollywood Vampires... but the topic is trending on Facebook because Alice Cooper has announced a supergroup by the same name featuring himself, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry. They'll be playing Rock in Rio in September.
And this is an old article, but Cooper has launched a documentary about the drinking club, and Micky Dolenz will be involved.
So is Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr a vampire?
Haha, I think it was only John who was an unofficial member during The Lost Weekend.
Rolling Stone article with video of Paul performing "Maybe I'm Amazed " on SNL40.
The 1962 Star Club tapes from which all the "semi-legal" releases have been made will be auctioned in London later this year.
...they ended up with Larry Grossberg, the business manager of Andy Warhol and Muhammad Ali, who spent £100,000 on remixing them and releasing 26 of the finished tracks on an album released in 1977.
Grossberg is also in possession of a letter from Apple saying they will not contest the sale as they will not come with rights.
The official announcement of the sale is on the site of auctioneers Ted Owen & Co. It is set for 26 March.
Despite the assertions in many stories about the number of tracks being 33 (the number known to exist), the announcement only says "over 28". It could have been further clarified by them, but they are not reflecting that in their announcement - though there are other details in circulation that are also not in their announcement.
They say full details will be published on their website by the end of February. Assuming they list the contents of the unedited tape, we may finally know for certain just what was recorded in Hamburg, and the correct order.

Q: Socket InputStream returns previous command data [ANDROID/JAVA] In my android application I want to do following things with server
1.Connect
2.Fetch Data
3.Disconnect
I got success in Connecting and fetching data from Server using Socket.
Code for connecting to server :-
try {
        socket = new Socket(dstAddress, dstPort);

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
        //Read data in the input buffer
        response = br.readLine().toString();

    } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
        response = "UnknownHostException: " + e.toString();
        throw new CustomException(response);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
        response = "IOException: " + e.toString();
        throw new CustomException(response);
    }

I checked the response which is correct one :-
220 *************************************************************************

Code for fetching data :-
    try {
        if(socket.isConnected())
        {
            Log.v("TAG","Connected");
        }
        DataOutputStream os = null;
        DataInputStream is = null;
        os = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
        is = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
        os.writeBytes("EHLO\r\n");
        os.flush();
        String responseLine = "";
        while (is.available() > 0) {
            responseLine = is.readLine();
            System.out.println("Server: " + responseLine);
            status = true;
            if (responseLine.contains("\r\n")) {
                Log.v("TAG",""+ responseLine);
                break;
            }
        }

In while loop everytime checked response which gives correct value :-
250-indition.cc [::ffff:117.195.116.165]
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 CRAM-SHA1 CRAM-SHA256 CRAM-RIPEMD DIGEST-MD5
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 CRAM-SHA1 CRAM-SHA256 CRAM-RIPEMD DIGEST-MD5
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 40960000
250-ETRN
250-XXXXXXXA
250 XXXB

But now after doing that when I disconnect to server then it gives response as it is fetching data.
Code for disconnecting :-
try {
        if(socket.isConnected())
        {
            Log.v("TAG","Connected");
        }
        DataOutputStream os = null;
        DataInputStream is = null;
        os = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
        os.writeBytes("quit\r\n");
        os.flush();
        is = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
        String responseLine = "";

Thinus Kruger, having made wine for other people for a long time, wanted to set sail for himself. He named his venture 'Fram' ('forward' in Norwegian) after a famous ship used by several Norwegian polar explorers. It was said to have sailed further north and further south than any other wooden ship. Thinus searched out old vine parcels on fine terroir, sometimes very remote terroir, and set to work.
He crafts his exciting wines from 3 different regions in the Western Cape.
His Chardonnay comes from the alluvial soils of Robertson, the Shiraz from the dry-lands of the Swartland just north of Malmesbury and the Flagship FRAM Pinotage from the remote Skurfberg vineyard (Citrusdal Mountain) planted to sandstone.

Q: How to see input records of a particular hadoop task? I am running a hadoop job. All, but 4 tasks are done. I am pondering why is it taking so much longer to process those chunks. My guess is that those input records are "hard" to process by my job. To test locally I would like to retrieve those input records. How an I do this?
The status column for the task says
hdfs://10.4.94.75:8020/user/someuser/myfilename:154260+3
But what does it mean?

A: The last part of the status gives you information about the split. More specifically:
  hdfs://10.4.94.75:8020/user/someuser/myfilename:154260+3

tells you that the task having this status processed the split of "myfilename" starting at byte offset 154260 in "myfilename" and having length 3.
Given this piece of information, you can detect the records assigned to this task by skiping in the file to byte 154260 and reading 3 bytes.

"Hello, Lu Chen!"
An enthusiastic voice came over the phone's receiver, greeting him. "It's been awhile since we've met, are you still doing well?"
The voice instantly sparked his memory and a familiar face appeared in his mind.
He immediately joked, "hello, Class Monitor Cao. Why did you suddenly call me? Did you miss me?"
A crisp laughter transmitted from the other end.
The person who called Lu Chen was the class monitor of his computer science class when he attended JiangNan University, Cao Xiuzhu.
In the university, the ratio of females to males in the computer science major was very low and Cao Xiuzhu had been class monitor for four years. Although her features were ordinary, she was very cordial and magnanimous. Her relations with her classmates were great.
In addition to their great relationship as classmates, Lu Chen's previous girlfriend was actually introduced by Cao Xiuzhu. After they broke up, Cao Xiuzhu felt guilty for a long time.
*Peh! Peh!*
Cao Xiuzhu replied, "my boyfriend is right beside me! He wanted me to say hi and ask you when you are coming back. Speaking about that, you haven't been appearing in the group chat recently. Are you still in the capital?"
Cao Xiuzhu's boyfriend was also Lu Chen's classmate and their dorms were next to each other during college. They would frequently hang out and play basketball together.
"I am still in the capital and I've just been lurking in the group chat…"
Lu Chen replied, "looking at your public display of affection made me afraid of speaking out. I will be back at the start of the next month."
Lu Chen could now graduate since he had sufficient course credits. Next month, Lu Chen would be heading back to attend the graduation ceremony and collect his diploma.
"Lu Chen, after being in Beijing so long, you sure have become more talkative!"
Cao Xiuzhu said in mock anger, "right now your current class monitor has arranged an important task for you! The graduation party is on June 9th. You have to prepare a show to represent our class. Furthermore, you must definitely get an award!"
"I have to prepare a show for the graduation party?"
Lu Chen blanked out for a moment. "There are so many other people in our class, how did this task fall on me?"
It wouldn't be his first or second time going up on stage to represent his class. However, the graduation party was slightly different.
It was an once-in-a-lifetime event!
Cao Xiuzhu helplessly replied, "you know how they are. They are all brave heroes if they were asked to play games. However, as soon as you ask them to perform on stage, it is a completely different matter altogether. Therefore, we can only rely on you to do this!"
"Also they've all said, Lu Chen knows how to sing, plays the guitar, and is good looking. If not you, then who?"
"How is this my fault?"
Lu Chen didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He thought for awhile before replying, "alright, Class Monitor Cao, I will definitely follow your orders, it's just that I have a small condition."
Cao Xiuzhu curiously asked, "what condition?"
Lu Chen replied, "the student union took many pictures during our festival last year. I need photos of every female regardless if it's an individual shot or group shot!"
Cao Xiuzhu became vigilant and aggressively questioned, "what are you thinking about doing?"
As the secretary of JiangNan Student Union, getting ahold of these photos wasn't a problem but Lu Chen's motive seemed questionable!
Lu Chen laughed and replied, "dear Class Monitor, you required that I definitely have to get an award. I need to prepare, don't I? These photos are required to make a music video that will be played on the auditorium stage so that my performance's effect would be better."
"Oh, so that's the case. Your idea is great!"
Cao Xiuzhu replied, embarrassed, "I will head to the office later and send the pictures to you when I find them."
She had a carefree personality and did not dwell too much on it.
The two of them exchanged a couple sentences then hung up.
Lu Chen left his room and went out to have a good meal to fill his stomach.
He continued working in the afternoon and managed to completely arrange twenty songs.
This efficiency could be considered extremely fast. However, these songs were the songs that he were most familiar with in his memories, so he managed to easily arrange them. He reckoned that it would only get tougher from here and would require more and more time.
For now, twenty outstanding works were more than enough. He could not suddenly throw out everything, but instead thought about how to release them slowly to get the maximum value.
This was the only thing he could do to not let down these popular classics from his dream world!
Lu Chen sent five songs out of the 20 completed ones to Greater China Music Database to register their copyrights.
It wasn't that he didn't want to register all of them, he was simply unable to afford the fee with the meager amount of savings he had.
The inquiry and registration fee for a single song would cost 600 RMB. Five songs would be equivalent to 3,000 RMB flying away. If Lu Chen didn't earn the money he did yesterday, he probably wouldn't be able to pay for any of them.
He criticized the Greater China Music Database in his heart and hoped it would be fed to the dogs. He also opened StarryLive, preparing to convert the money within his account for emergency use.
As soon as he opened the anchor platform, a notification frame popped up.
"Hello Anchor Lu Chen, you have achieved the requirements for signing a contract. Please click the 'Contact Administrator' icon. Thank you for your cooperation."
Lu Chen felt surprised but happy. It was only then that he realized that his Starry Fans had reached 10,142!
The requirements for signing a contract with StarryLive was to have 10,000 followers. When he ended the live broadcast yesterday, his Starry Fans were only slightly more than 7,000. To think that he had reached more than 10,000 followers already!
However, Lu Chen wasn't too surprised. He knew that the increase in followers was due in part to ProphetEmperorLiBai's and the Lu Family Army's promotion efforts which allowed him to reach the contract requirement.
Touched and in an excited mood, Lu Chen clicked on the Contact Administrator icon within the prompt and a chatting window immediately opened.
The chat ID displayed on the chat panel was "Super Administrator 002".
Lu Chen: "Hello, Administrator."
Super Administrator 002: "Hello, are you here to sign the contract?"
Lu Chen: "Yes, may I ask what are the conditions of the contract?"
Super Administrator 002: "Let me send you the electronic contract so you can verify it first. If there aren't any problems, you can sign according to the requirements and mail it to our office."
Lu Chen: "Alright."
Super Administrator 002 sent a document to Lu Chen. Upon receiving it, Lu Chen opened up the contract to have a look.
Altogether, this was the third contract Lu Chen saw in the past few days.
The more he read, the colder his heart became.
Other than a few clauses related to anchors in the contract, the content was at least 70% similar to the initial contract for new artists that Su Qingmei gave him to look at. It almost seemed as if the anchor contract was copied directly from the new artist contract. It just had some slight differences, such as reserving the copyright of original works or paintings, liability in the event of violating the agreement, and reducing the exclusive contract from 10 years to 5 years!
All crows are black in this world! 1
Lu Chen couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. Initially, he had expectations of officially signing on with StarryLive so that he could have a larger cut and increased chances of promotion. He wasn't looking for millions monthly; he was satisfied as long as he was adequately provided.
However, in retrospect, his thinking was too naive.
Super Administrator 002: "Have you finished reading the contract? Quickly confirm it after you've finished. I still have to file your registration on my side."
After thinking for a bit, Lu Chen replied, "can a part of this contract be changed? The main problem is the section regarding the original works' copyrights."
If the other party was willing to revise the requirement regarding original works' copyrights, even if the other clauses were harsh, he was still able to accept it. After all, StarryLive was a profitable platform and to fight for one's benefit was understandable.
Super Administrator 002: "Change? You're dreaming. All the anchors on our platform signed the same contract. It's impossible to make any changes just for you alone. You can either choose to sign or not to sign. It's as simple as that!"
Lu Chen was familiar with this overbearing tone.
Every anchor had signed the same contract?
What a joke! How could popular stars and nameless artists sign the same contract?
Even if you use your toes to think, you would know that it's impossible!
Putting aside the cold attitude of Super Administrator 002, he had even treated Lu Chen as a gullible rookie.
Lu Chen suppressed his anger and replied, "let me think through it. I won't be signing it for now. Thank you."
Although it wasn't his fault, Lu Chen didn't want to fall out with the Super Administrator. After all, he had to rely on the other party's platform to earn money. Therefore, he had politely declined. In any case, not signing the contract would only mean a lesser dividend and not having the platform's recommendation.
Regardless, he would never give up his original works' copyrights in vain!
Super Administrator 002: "Up to you!"
The dialogue between two parties ended immediately.
Lu Chen helplessly shook his head and felt depressed inside.
The next moment, the notification prompt that appeared on his screen instantly made him turn cold, almost bursting into rage!
[System Prompt: Lu Fei's live broadcast will be closed temporarily due to violation of regulations. If there are any questions, please consult the administrator.]
He's trying to say everyone in this industry are all similar in a sense.

These internet broadcast companies originally only catered to beauty/make-up broadcasters and commentators, so the contract was actually alright.
But when it comes to artists and composers? Dude that's just too much.
What if he just signed the contract and performed cover songs in the broadcast company and performed his originals in social media?
That's possible in this type of contract because internet broadcast companies are not entertainment companies nor record lables so i think it's possible to do what i just suggested.

Welcome to the Alfa Romeo Duetto by Wille R.
Welcome to have a look at my Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce 1967. I'm from Sweden and have been Alfista since 1960. Today I am still love and enjoy my Alfa Romeo Duetto 1967 which I bought 1970 and I am still as thrilled as the first time. This is me and my Duetto 1970.
One Alfista and two male Alfisti met three female Alfiste!
The name "Graduate" was never used on the roundtails, but in the 1980's Alfa introduced a Spider model named Graduate. It was a stripped version of the 2000 Spider model with a Kamm-tail (square-tail).
OurAlfa Romeo Duetto Spiders, lined up in Liguria, Italy.
The original Spider Veloce is also named "Osso di Seppia" or Round-tail. Osso di Seppia means cuttle fish in Italian. If you have a Canary bird in a cage, you might have some "Osso di Seppia" there, it's the white chalk thing the bird uses to polish its beak on. The photo on my front page shows the beautiful Round-tail. People think that the rear end looks like that. Personally, I'm not that keen on the nick name.
My Alfa Romeo is probably the oldest Spider Veloce still running and I have not yet located any Spider Veloce with a chassis number lower than mine. My car has "autoleaio" 119 which Luigi Fusi ranks as a 1967 in his excellent book Alfa Romeo Bible. The car is red of course, Rosso Farina, # AR514.
This color has a slight tone of orange, which makes the red color a bit light. Very attractive, indeed.
In the '60s, the 501 was very popular on Alfas. This color is however a bit more red than the Rosso Farina. In the Picture Gallery you may have a look at the different cars. If you send me a photo of your Alfa, I'll add it to my gallery.
If you have a Spider Veloce or a Duetto, please register model, year and chassis number, graze. This will give you full access to my Spider register and the opportunity to contact the owners yourself. I am trying to locate the remaining Spiders from the good years, when cars were cars with carburetors, Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis were the artists and girls were girls!
Know what I mean? How about that, wish you had a Duetto, eh?
