Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets. It is sometimes referred to as the world, the Blue Planet, or by its Latin name, Terra.
Earth formed 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface within one billion years. The planet is home to millions of species, including humans. Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful solar radiation, permitting life on land. The physical properties of the Earth, as well as its geological history and orbit, have allowed life to persist during this period. Estimates on how much longer the planet will to be able to continue to support life range from a mere 500 million years, to as long as 2.3 billion years.
Earth's outer surface is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. About 71% of the surface is covered by salt water oceans, with the remainder consisting of continents and islands which together have many lakes and other sources of water that contribute to the hydrosphere. Earth's poles are mostly covered with solid ice (Antarctic ice sheet) or sea ice (Arctic ice cap). The planet's interior remains active, with a thick layer of relatively solid mantle, a liquid outer core that generates a magnetic field, and a solid iron inner core.
Earth interacts with other objects in space, especially the Sun and the Moon. At present, Earth orbits the Sun once every 366.26 times it rotates about its own axis, which is equal to 365.26 solar days, or one sidereal year. The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular of its orbital plane, producing seasonal variations on the planet's surface with a period of one tropical year (365.24 solar days). Earth's only known natural satellite, the Moon, which began orbiting it about 4.53 billion years ago, provides ocean tides, stabilizes the axial tilt, and gradually slows the planet's rotation. Between approximately 3.8 billion and 4.1 billion years ago, numerous asteroid impacts during the Late Heavy Bombardment caused significant changes to the greater surface environment.
Both the mineral resources of the planet and the products of the biosphere contribute resources that are used to support a global human population. These inhabitants are grouped into about 200 independent sovereign states, which interact through diplomacy, travel, trade, and military action. Human cultures have developed many views of the planet, including personification as a deity, a belief in a flat Earth or in the Earth as the center of the universe, and a modern perspective of the world as an integrated environment that requires stewardship.
The earliest Solar System material is dated to 4.5672 ± 0.0006 billion years ago; therefore, it is inferred that the Solar System, including the Earth, must have formed around this time. By about 4.54 billion years ago (within an uncertainty of 1%) the Earth and the other planets in the Solar System had formed by accretion from the solar nebula—a disk of gas and dust left over from the formation of the Sun—in which particles of solid matter clumped together via gravity to gradually create ever larger bodies. This assembly of the Earth through accretion was thus largely completed within 10–20 million years. Initially molten, the outer layer of the planet Earth cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed shortly thereafter, 4.53 billion years ago.
The current consensus model for the formation of the Moon is the giant impact hypothesis, in which the Moon was created when a Mars-sized object (sometimes called Theia) with about 10% of the Earth's mass impacted the Earth in a glancing blow. In this model, some of this object's mass would have merged with the Earth and a portion would have been ejected into space, but enough material would have been sent into orbit to coalesce into the Moon.
Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere of the Earth. Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice and liquid water delivered by asteroids and the larger proto-planets, comets, and trans-Neptunian objects produced the oceans. The newly formed Sun was only 70% of its present luminosity, yet evidence shows that the early oceans remained liquid—a contradiction dubbed the faint young Sun paradox. A combination of greenhouse gases and higher levels of solar activity served to raise the Earth's surface temperature, preventing the oceans from freezing over. By 3.5 billion years ago, the Earth's magnetic field was established, which helped prevent the atmosphere from being stripped away by the solar wind.
Two major models have been proposed for the rate of continental growth: steady growth to the present-day and rapid growth early in Earth history. Current research shows that the second option is most likely, with rapid initial growth of continental crust followed by a long-term steady continental area. On time scales lasting hundreds of millions of years, the surface continually reshaped as continents formed and broke up. The continents migrated across the surface, occasionally combining to form a supercontinent. Roughly 750 million years ago (Ma), one of the earliest known supercontinents, Rodinia, began to break apart. The continents later recombined to form Pannotia, 600–540 Ma, then finally Pangaea, which broke apart 180 Ma.
The atmospheric pressure on the surface of the Earth averages 101.325 kPa, with a scale height of about 8.5 km. It is 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, with trace amounts of water vapor, carbon dioxide and other gaseous molecules. The height of the troposphere varies with latitude, ranging between 8 km at the poles to 17 km at the equator, with some variation resulting from weather and seasonal factors.
Earth's biosphere has significantly altered its atmosphere. Oxygenic photosynthesis evolved 2.7 billion years ago, forming the primarily nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere of today. This change enabled the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which blocks ultraviolet solar radiation, permitting life on land. Other atmospheric functions important to life on Earth include transporting water vapor, providing useful gases, causing small meteors to burn up before they strike the surface, and moderating temperature. This last phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect: trace molecules within the atmosphere serve to capture thermal energy emitted from the ground, thereby raising the average temperature. Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone are the primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Without this heat-retention effect, the average surface would be −18 °C, in contrast to the current +15 °C, and life would likely not exist.
The geochemist F. W. Clarke calculated that a little more than 47% of the Earth's crust consists of oxygen. The more common rock constituents of the Earth's crust are nearly all oxides; chlorine, sulfur and fluorine are the only important exceptions to this and their total amount in any rock is usually much less than 1%. The principal oxides are silica, alumina, iron oxides, lime, magnesia, potash and soda. The silica functions principally as an acid, forming silicates, and all the commonest minerals of igneous rocks are of this nature. From a computation based on 1,672 analyses of all kinds of rocks, Clarke deduced that 99.22% were composed of 11 oxides (see the table at right), with the other constituents occurring in minute quantities.
The interior of the Earth, like that of the other terrestrial planets, is divided into layers by their chemical or physical (rheological) properties, but unlike the other terrestrial planets, it has a distinct outer and inner core. The outer layer of the Earth is a chemically distinct silicate solid crust, which is underlain by a highly viscous solid mantle. The crust is separated from the mantle by the Mohorovičić discontinuity, and the thickness of the crust varies: averaging 6 km under the oceans and 30–50 km on the continents. The crust and the cold, rigid, top of the upper mantle are collectively known as the lithosphere, and it is of the lithosphere that the tectonic plates are comprised. Beneath the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, a relatively low-viscosity layer on which the lithosphere rides. Important changes in crystal structure within the mantle occur at 410 and 660 kilometers below the surface, spanning a transition zone that separates the upper and lower mantle. Beneath the mantle, an extremely low viscosity liquid outer core lies above a solid inner core. The inner core may rotate at a slightly higher angular velocity than the remainder of the planet, advancing by 0.1–0.5° per year.
The Earth's terrain varies greatly from place to place. About 70.8% of the surface is covered by water, with much of the continental shelf below sea level. This equates to 148.94 million sq km (57.51 million sq mi). The submerged surface has mountainous features, including a globe-spanning mid-ocean ridge system, as well as undersea volcanoes, oceanic trenches, submarine canyons, oceanic plateaus and abyssal plains. The remaining 29.2% not covered by water consists of mountains, deserts, plains, plateaus, and other geomorphologies.
The planetary surface undergoes reshaping over geological time periods because of tectonics and erosion. The surface features built up or deformed through plate tectonics are subject to steady weathering from precipitation, thermal cycles, and chemical effects. Glaciation, coastal erosion, the build-up of coral reefs, and large meteorite impacts also act to reshape the landscape.
The continental crust consists of lower density material such as the igneous rocks granite and andesite. Less common is basalt, a denser volcanic rock that is the primary constituent of the ocean floors. Sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation of sediment that becomes compacted together. Nearly 75% of the continental surfaces are covered by sedimentary rocks, although they form only about 5% of the crust. The third form of rock material found on Earth is metamorphic rock, which is created from the transformation of pre-existing rock types through high pressures, high temperatures, or both. The most abundant silicate minerals on the Earth's surface include quartz, the feldspars, amphibole, mica, pyroxene and olivine. Common carbonate minerals include calcite (found in limestone) and dolomite.
The pedosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth that is composed of soil and subject to soil formation processes. It exists at the interface of the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Currently the total arable land is 13.31% of the land surface, with only 4.71% supporting permanent crops. Close to 40% of the Earth's land surface is presently used for cropland and pasture, or an estimated 1.3×107 km2 of cropland and 3.4×107 km2 of pastureland.


It's always hard to say goodbye to a long weekend and hello to the work week. Although there are only four days to make it through, it's still majorly difficult to wake up in the morning! Especially after such a great weekend seeing Slightly Stoopid, Dirty Heads, and the Expandables at Saranac. Talk about a great way to end out the summer! Saranac is such a great venue because you are able to get nice and close to the band. Although the 91 degree weather made it seem like we were a bunch of sardines packed into a sauna, the concert was worth it.

Here's Your Presidential Traffic Cheat Sheet
Dennis Romero March 12, 2015
UPDATE at 11:20 a.m., Thursday, March 12, 2015: We've added the Burbank Police Department's presidential traffic warnings for today at the bottom.
The president's in town this week, and you know what that means.
Obamajam!
The prez will be here to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight and to attend a reported $33,400-per-couple fundraiser hosted Friday by ICM Partners co-founder Chris Silbermann and his wife, Julia Franz.
To be fair, Obamajam has become somewhat of a misnomer. The real, nightmare-inducing traffic inspired by a visit to Los Angeles by President Obama really happened just once.
At the time we duly reported that "Westsiders haven't been this inconvenienced since Whole Foods ran out of almond scones."
After Angelenos whined and cried like a rich Republican who just got his tax bill, the Secret Service, the Los Angeles Police Department and other law enforcement agencies got the hint and changed some of the POTUS' traffic-clogging ways.
Many "hard" street closures became "rolling" closures that open up boulevards (our lifeblood!) after the motorcade has passed.
Still, you would like to know what streets to avoid and when to avoid them, wouldn't you? Here's the ultimate Obamajam cheat sheet, courtesy of the LAPD:
The area around Sepulveda Blvd between Lincoln Bl & Century Bl from 3:00pm – 5:00p.m.
The area around North Hollywood Way between West Empire Ave & N.Glenoaks Bl 3:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
The area around Sheldon St between Roscoe Bl & San Fernando Rd from 3:30p.m. – 5:00p.m.
The area around Highland Ave between The Hollywood Bowl & Sunset Bl from 4:00p.m. – 6:00p.m.
The area around Ocean Ave between Pico Bl & San Vicente Bl from 4:00p.m. – 7:30p.m
The area around San Vicente Bl between Ocean Ave & 25th St from 4:00p.m. – 7:30p.m.
The area around Ocean Ave between San Vicente Bl & Pico Blvd from 6:00p.m- 8:00p.m.
The area around Overland Ave between National Place & Tennessee Ave from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
The area around W. Pico Bl between Overland Ave and Century Park East 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
The area around Avenue of the Stars between W. Pico Bl & W. Olympic Bl from 7:00 p.m.– 8:30 p.m.
Note: There will be a hard street closure in the northbound and southbound lanes of Sepulveda Blvd, between Lincoln Blvd and Century Blvd. The closure will be for an (8) eight minute period between 3:30p.m.– 4:30p.m.
Hard street closures also include:
Hollywood Blvd, east and westbound traffic, between North Orange Drive and North Highland Avenue from 4:25 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.
Hawthorn Ave, east and westbound traffic, between North Orange Drive and North Highland Avenue from 4:25 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.
20th Street, between Marguerita Ave and Carlyle Ave (City of Santa Monica) from 4:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Avenue of the Stars, 1 ½ southbound lanes from Galaxy Way
The area around W. Pico Bl between Avenue of the Stars & Westwood Bl from 6:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m.
The area around Overland Ave between W. Olympic Bl & National Bl from 6:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m.
The area around S. Centinela Ave between Pico Bl & Ocean Park Bl from 6:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m.
Due to street closures, the following bus routes will be rerouted to utilize alternate stops during the above listed times: MTA bus #156, #212, #217, #222 & #312
Be sure to salute him for us. (No, not that kind of salute).
UPDATE at 11:20 a.m., Thursday, March 12, 2015: Here's the presidential traffic warning for today from Burbank police:
Northbound & Southbound Hollywood Way from Empire Avenue to Glenoaks Boulevard
Will affect all surrounding side streets:
o Thornton Avenue
o Burton Avenue
o Tulare Avenue
o San Fernando Boulevard
o Cohasset Street
Closures will be in effect starting at approximately 4:00 p.m. through approximately 5:30 p.m.

La Alameda de Quebrada Vieja es una zona hídrica natural ubicada en la localidad de Chapinero, Bogotá, específicamente en la calle 71 entre la avenida Circunvalar y la carrera Segunda, en los cerros Orientales de la ciudad.

Características generales

En los costados norte y sur de la quebrada se han adecuado una serie de corredores peatonales con iluminación y sillas que permite caminatas y observación de aves

Por iniciativa de los vecinos del barrio Las Acacias, en 1984 comenzó la recuperación de la quebrada, que estaba enrejada y llena de basura. Durante su adecuación, el acueducto de Bogotá desconectó todos los vertederos de aguas negras que desembocaban en la quebrada de los edificios del sector.

Además las rejas fueron retiradas y reemplazadas por el actual camino que conecta la montaña con la quebrada. Es administrado por Aquavieja y forma parte de los cerros Orientales de Bogotá. Es zona de descanso y de avistamiento de aves.

We are delighted to be officially full members of IAEMA – the Industrial Airport Equipment Manufacturers Association.
It was agreed by a group of international GSE manufacturers that the airport equipment and services industry needed an active and representative association. This group of over 20 leading GSE manufacturers is particularly concerned with the increased cost and frequency of international exhibitions that do not seem to understand the needs of the industry.
The driving force behind the formation of IAEMA is to come together as a single, strong, authoritative voice able to represent the industry and benefit from efficient collective bargaining cost reductions.
As IAEMA grows in strength it will be able to negotiate on behalf of its members with any third party industry supplier. It will also work together on important areas such as universal standards for GSE equipment and an accreditation or quality mark to help buyers identify quality manufacturers and suppliers.
Members benefit from IAEMA's national netowrk of airport equipment and service companies as well as the association's web presence that provides direct access to all member companies and their products; and helps promote members to international buyers.


"Outcomes Impacting Tobacco Control & Prevention for African Americans" by Leah M. Ranney, Hannah M. Baker et al.
Great racial disparities exist in smoking and related health outcomes in the United States. African American (AA) smokers start smoking later and smoke less than white smokers but are less likely to quit. In 2008, the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health funded the National African American Tobacco Prevention Network (NAATPN) to focus tobacco control leadership, expertise and promotion in the AA community. In 2012, NAATPN sought to determine significant outcomes of tobacco control efforts impacting Black and AA communities by conducting a qualitative document search and series of interviews with experts in the field. Thirteen identified outcomes were categorized into five broad classifications: 1) Menthol: Emergence of menthol as a focus for advocacy, policy and research; 2) Policy and Legal: Public policy and legal action aimed at reducing tobacco usage and consumption; 3) Advocacy: Focus on national networking to facilitate growth of local, organic, and grassroots capacity in AA communities; 4) Diversity: Emergence of diversity and inclusivity as values and principles used in shaping/driving policy, advocacy, and outreach; and 5) Cessation: Creation of a cessation guide for the AA community. The identified outcomes can be used by public health practitioners in furthering their efforts to address and reduce tobacco use disparities in the AA community.

Going through the study materials which is easy to follow and enhance my understanding of bookkeeping.
Very informative and very thorough.
The information was very helpful but not always tailored to a service providing business rather than a sales type company. More specific service related only info would be a help. Thanks!
I found the tutors really helpful and all of the information was relevant!
I like my course a lot, I find the tutors on most of the subjects very helpful. It would be better when an assessment is wrong if they could give more explanation on what is wrong, especially if a few attempts have been made.
My course is very hard, but I am coping and learning at my own pace. It is very challenging. Sending my assignments is nerve-wrecking. I am very thankful of the tutors because they are guiding me in the right direction. Thank you.
I am loving doing my course and The Career Academy is making me enjoy the subject of Bookkeeping/Accounting!
I loved the fact that I could do the course in my own time (even though it means I have to motivate myself to study..) It is great not having to be physically present at night classes. In terms of the resources, the forums were really useful as I could see previous responses to content I am currently working on. Everything was easy to access and complete. I would recommend The Career Academy to anyone!
I find that the course is explained in a straight-forward manner.
The tutors always responded very quickly and the course itself was great! I found the material comprehensive, particularly the business pathway section.
The ease with which you could complete the course with the Career Academy was something I liked most.
I feel that the tutors are good, well-equipped and always replied promptly to to my queries. The Career Academy offered me easy way of studying and I found the moodle to be user-friendly.
I liked that you could do the course at your own and the supplementary course materials are really great.
The tutors were very helpful and I found their advice in their emails great. I loved the course itself – it is accessible and can do everything yourself.
I am thoroughly enjoying my course. It is intensive but done in such a way as not to be overwhelming. The turnaround from submitting assignments and getting them back is fantastic, often in the same day! The tutors are really positive with their feedback and always manage to give me a great confidence boost. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in getting a book keeping qualification.
Finding time to study is the most difficult. The feedback from the tutors on my assignments is always very helpful. The content of the course is absolutely above average.
Still working through the course. The first part of the course was very interesting, I enjoyed it a lot. The second part is less interesting to me but I'm still working through. The main reason I signed up for this course is to become more confident in bookkeeping and to increase my knowledge for my career.
It is very interesting and I seem to be grasping it quite well. The tutors are lovely, very prompt as well.
This is a helpful course. I like the material and haven't found it too difficult so far.
I find it really interesting. I have a certificate in MYOB already so I really enjoy gaining some more experience and practice in bookkeeping. It's a very valuable course and the tutors are rather prompt.
The course was good, very informative. Brendan was amazing tutor and very helpful. The first part of the course was good but struggling to stay motivated for the second part. Course and tutors would get a 4/5, but finding a job in the field would get a 3/5.
I have to say, I am really happy with this course. The marking has been done really quickly by the tutors and they always give positive feedback. If there's anything I need to have a look at they always get back to me about it. Definitely impressed with what I've done so far.
This course is great for me because I really enjoy this sort of thing. I have some experience in basic accounting principles but there's a ton of new info in here on bookkeeping to learn which is great. It's really good to learn some new bits and pieces, and to be able to use this knowledge in the future for career advancement.
This is a refresher course for me and I'm enjoying it fine so far – it's good to go back to the basics and brush up on some information.
I always get a reply when I call in for help, I find everything is going really well and the bookkeeping program is good!
I like it so far. In terms of difficulty the course content is a mixture – some of it is a bit more challenging because it's new concepts, but it's well written and explained so it's easy to understand.
The feedback given to me by the tutors has been helpful, I really like how they marked my assignment on the weekend so I can take the week to go back and see what I did correctly and what I need to work on.
Great course, tutors are helpful.
The textbook that came with the course is very good despite the text and the size of it being very tiny. The course is revisiting things that I've done previously and it's turning out to be simpler than I expected.
The course is going well. One suggestion I would make is more consistency in the markings; sometimes tutors will give different feedback. The content is a bit more challenging than what I thought, not coming from that background, but it's pretty interesting.
I have found the course really good and the support has always been reliable.
Really loving what I've done so far!
Good content, challenging at the parts it needs to be and very well put together. The tutors are helpful.
Trekking my way through this course and really enjoying it. Getting some helpful feedback from tutors when I need it.
Very happy with the course, enjoying it a lot and getting great responses from the tutors and assistants.
The certificate is quite good, there is the opportunity to go beyond the certificate if I wanted to but at the moment I am busy with the course and happy with the help the tutors have given me.
Very valuable course and very supportive tutors.
The course is great i'm a little slow in starting but finding it very good and easy to take in all the information.
The course is going good, the feedback from my assessment 1 was very helpful and excellent.
Tracey was very prompt, very friendly and very patient; had me up and running again in no time at all, which was excellent. Thank you! Tracey!!
Really good explanation of where my thinking had gone awry.

Zane Lowe Talks Beats 1's First Weeks, Working With Trent Reznor and Dr. Dre, And 'Gorging On Pearl Jam Radio'
By Jem Aswad
Courtesy of Apple
Zane Lowe at the mic during his radio show on Beats1 for Apple Music.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of Apple Music's first weeks has been the near-universal praise that its Beats 1 radio station has received, not just for its impressive battery of exclusives — interviews, premieres or regular shows from Dr. Dre, Drake, Pharrell, Disclosure, St. Vincent, Eminem, Elton John and many more — but also for its adventurous and ambitious programming. The station is a fusion of old-school and futurism that reminds some of college radio, some of the BBC and some of the halcyon early days of FM. At its helm stands Zane Lowe, 41, the effusive, hyper-verbal, New Zealand-born former tastemaker-in-chief for the BBC's Radio 1, who, as Beats 1's "special creative and lead anchor," is charged with programming the station, which so far has been exciting, chaotic, attention-grabbing and unpredictable… apparently just the way his bosses (low-key, retiring people with surnames like Iovine, Reznor and Cue) want it — and so far, so do listeners. In just his second interview since the station's launch, Lowe found an hour to talk with Billboard about the highlights and missteps of setting the tone for the venture.
A User's Guide to the Best of Web Radio
What's your core philosophy when it comes to programming?
I have two quotes up on my wall: One is mine, "Quality and consistency creates the addiction." We want people to come back to Beats 1 because it has awakened something in them and they want to hear more. The other quote came from Jimmy [Iovine] and is the station's mantra: "Don't be boring."
Artists Mentioned
Beats 1 is supposed to be formatless, but there do seem to be parameters to what's played. How would you define the Beats 1 sound?
The personality of the station is developing over time. We started with a selection of records. That came down to four or five of us going, "What's popping?" Then you ask around about the artist, do a bit of due diligence. After the first week, it was really exciting to hear how it all fit together, but also at times it was jarring. For instance, we would come out of big shows by Q-Tip or Disclosure, and the first song was really slow -- you're immediately losing the impact you've gained from the previous song. So we made some changes. We also noticed in the first week people listened for really long amounts of time, which meant songs got tired quickly, so we revised our rotations. And we're working on a replay service and we want to get full on-demand ready.
There's a lot of electronic music, edgy rock and hip-hop on Beats 1. Are there set genres you're pursuing?
No, not really. We've played country music, Mexican house music, South American EDM, German hip-hop. I've never been a fan of, "We've got to get 22 percent of rock, 17 percent of R&B; where's our 16 percent of hip-hop and our 9 percent of country?" If you do it that way, you're not basing it on the merit of the music. You're basing it on some kind of obligation.
Apple Music Reaches 11 Million (Trial) Subscribers
How about pop?
The other day I heard the new 5 Seconds of Summer record, and I was like, "Could I play that on my show?" It was really strange. My whole perception shifted, because I had never played 5 Seconds of Summer before; they went straight to [BBC's mainstream] Radio 1 daytime and never really crossed my path. Then I heard this song, and it just sounds like SoCal pop-punk. Cool!
What have been some of the highlights of the first weeks of Beats 1?
Oh, so many. There's huge excitement in the building around Dr. Dre and Compton. I grew up listening to his work -- he has been a huge influence on me. And when Drake dropped three brand new tracks on his show. What was amazing, apart from hearing new music from him that people hadn't heard before -- including us -- and one of them being a part of the whole Drake/Meek Mill scenario, was that he really used the radio to say what he wanted to say and share the music in a way that he wanted to do it.
Did you have much interaction with Dr. Dre before the interview around the Compton premier?
I'd never met him until I started having conversations with Jimmy and Trent [Reznor] about coming to Los Angeles. I was out here on Grammy weekend, and there was a meeting at Jimmy's house. That was the moment where we laid out, initially at least, what we were hoping to achieve with Beats 1. It was a double whammy, because I was in the same room as Jimmy and [Apple senior vp Internet software and services] Eddy Cue and [vp iTunes content] Robert Kondrk, who I was meeting for the first time, and Trent. I'm trying to concentrate on saying the right things to get my point across and not stumble too hard, and at the same time I'm having these out-of-body experiences here and there, like "Dr. Dre, f---!" Which I'm sure he's used to seeing, but I was just trying to keep my game face on.
Besides Beats 1, what radio have you listened to since you arrived in the United States?
I listened to nothing but American radio when I came here, man — from terrestrial to SiriusXM. I'd never had Sirius so listened to tons of their stations, just to get my head around the pacing and the feel of American radio. And I spent two weeks gorging on Pearl Jam Radio.
Apple Could Launch Five More Beats Radio Stations, According to Report
Yeah! In New Zealand, Pearl Jam is kind of a rite of passage. After about a week I realized if I don't switch now, I'm going to end up destroying my love of this band. But Sirius is a really impressive collection of genres and stations. I definitely kicked up Real 92.3 [KRRL-FM]; I wanted to hear what hip-hop sounded like in Los Angeles. I listened to KIIS-FM, and I listened to Power 106 [KPWR]. I went across the board, man. It has taught me what I love about American radio, and it also taught me what we need to avoid, as a global radio station.
How do you like living in Los Angeles?
I spent a long time living in London, and I love the energy and the subliminal anxiety that London provided me. L.A. is very vehicle-driven. But I'm starting to enjoy that. I'm turning West Coast, slowly but surely.
How will Apple Music work if you get all of the components to click?
What we're working toward is this one place where people can go to [the] "For You" [feature] and be fed these wonderful handmade playlists according to their tastes, go to Beats 1 and have a shared listening experience and then go to "Connect" and get close to the artists. The whole thing should work symbiotically. Also, we're a broadcasting platform on a music service, so when people hear something they like, the idea is they'll go deep: go into the music service, learn more, listen to the albums. That's really important.
Do you find that planning and running the station distracts you from DJ-ing?
It's certainly put my attention in places I haven't been before: Looking at the station as a whole and how the flow is going to happen, and how do we incorporate more countries and different time zones? All those questions absolutely took me away from focusing on radio and suddenly I found myself like, "I'm on the air in three days!"
So how do you program a global radio station?
It just had to be about music. Most radio is entirely driven around formats that are built around time and time zones. But with a global station there's no "breakfast" or "drive" or any of that, so we could only program around music. It's complicated: You're thinking, "This works well in this Sydney but what about Europe?" That's why we have repeats - so that while you're asleep someone else is hearing something for the first time. It was important that it was a communal listening experience. We decided to place shows in positions that gave different parts of the world a fair chance to listen to them.
Analyzing Beats 1's First Week: Most-Played Songs and Every Show's Tracklist
Beats 1 was basically Trent Reznor's idea?
Yeah. I'm not sure if you've had a chance to sit with Trent, but he's one of the most intelligent, eloquent, passionate people I've ever met, not just for art, but also the way people can use it. He's really committed to the user experience, so his whole thing was like, "People have been splintered off into individual experiences -- let's see if we can bring them back together and if so, what would that feel like for the user? What if they're using it on a device in a music service, and not in the traditional places where radio is experienced?" It was incredibly useful for me to hear him say that because it really [solidified] some of the ideas that I'd been kicking around but wasn't sure if I was on the right path. What is really valuable and exciting about radio is the connection to a community. Trent has been incredibly supportive every step of the way.
One thing that is different from a lot of other stations is that your level of enthusiasm seems to have carried over to the other DJs. You are known for being somewhat enthusiastic on the air.
[Laughs and laughs] That's such a nice way to put it, man, I appreciate that! That'll replace some of the [negative] descriptions that've been hanging over my head. Anyway, we approached people that loved music. Hopefully it doesn't sound tacky, but I really try to sell records because I love them and I want to share the music in a way that other people might like. We went looking for people who felt the same way, and [fellow anchors] Julie [Adenuga] and Ebro [Darden] are that through and through. And from there, it was like, OK, where is the different dynamic? And having someone like St. Vincent or even Drake come in -- you can go to any number of [services] and find something that's new or [recommendations based on other music you like]. But, how is that going to change your opinion? I like to think of us as working in a record store and someone comes up and says, "Hey, what's good?" And if you can gain that trust, then we're doing our job.
Have you worked in record stores?
Yeah, I did. I worked at the Music & Video Exchange, which used to be called the Record & Tape Exchange, a very famous chain of second-hand record stores in London [the supremely snobby store that was the basis for Championship Vinyl in Nick Hornby's novel and film High Fidelity].
I hated those guys! They have the greatest selection but they were the meanest record snobs of all time.
[Laughs] It's funny, I was the soft heart at the beginning and they had to take me aside and be like, "You just bought a vinyl copy of Nevermind by Nirvana for ten pounds. Why did you do that?" And I'd be like, "I've never seen it on vinyl before!" And they'd say, "That's because you grew up in New Zealand! They sold 10 million copies of this on vinyl — it's a 10 [pence] record, sort your shit out!" So I learned the hard way, but I loved the experience there. What it really taught me was the other side of music in the UK -- the people that work behind the counter in those record stores, they are deep, deep in the catalog. And they'd say to me, "You think you're open-minded but you're not. You need to take things off the shelf and just try them. You've really got to stop sticking to your lane." That really set me up for working in the UK because it's a really deep and culturally exciting place for music and art.
It's hard to think of better training for your BBC gig.
That's so true. I remember the three bits of advice I got when working at Music and Video Exchange -- this is probably irrelevant for your story but I'll tell you anyway because it always makes me laugh. They were like, "Alright man, you've got the job, just by the skin of your teeth, so here's the thing: Don't do anything we don't ask you to do because you'll f--- it up. Two: Don't put so much milk in the tea, we like it strong out here. And three: I know in New Zealand everyone's really happy all the time but for God's sake stop being so f---ing enthusiastic!" It was epic, man. I learned how to do two of those things, but the enthusiasm has been a harder one to shake, unfortunately.
T-Mobile Adds Apple Music to 'Music Freedom'
How was the Beastie Boys interview you did at the Capitol Records summit in L.A.?
Amazing. They're my favorite group of all time, and ever since the passing of MCA, I was hoping one day I'd be able to talk to them in the context of the Beastie Boys again. It happened on the anniversary of [the late] Adam Yauch's birthday, so the whole thing was wonderful [but] it was nervewracking to me because I'd never interviewed those guys in front of an audience before. They're at their best when they're being funny, when their humor comes across and they're able to subvert your questions in a humorous way, but at the same time, when you're on the stage having to moderate the conversation, how do you give them the freedom to do that without looking like you're trying to insert yourself into their jokes? But it was cool, I just felt like I was part of the audience.
Do you have any input into the guest shows, like St. Vincent or Elton John, or do they just come in and do whatever they want?
They can do whatever they want, but if they ask direct questions I'll always give them as honest and direct feedback as possible. But the formatting and idea of the shows and the music come entirely from the artists. Nobody ever tells them what to play.
At Beats 1, do you get a lot of radio promotion people promoting records to you?
It's funny, I don't really know at this point because I've been just focusing on my show. We talk amongst ourselves and we search for things that move us and we search for the stories. I try not to get promoted to because I'm looking for things that either come from my team or comes from my own search. Like, who is Gallant? Where does Halsey come from? What are they saying? It's this wonderful freedom that nobody really knows what to expect from us.
So you don't get somebody from Astralwerks Records saying, "Here's the new Halsey single?"
Yeah, we do. The industry is important. These people are investing in art and artists and musicians and they want them to succeed just like we do. Some of my best friends work for labels and they really care about the artists that they work with. That trusted source is what helps us get music out to an audience.
How does it feel to be the runaway success of Apple Music? Are the other departments throwing shade at you?
[Laughter] No. The whole thing is being built with [the other units of Apple Music] in mind, and every day, we're always communicating with them. We're just there to play our part.

In the list type settings, and as shortcode parameters, you can set the maximum number of events and the maximum number of days or months that the plugin will attempt to list. It also uses these to limit the recurring events it has to generate.
check for any modifications, exclusions etc and apply those to the instances, before it can start limiting.
Modifications of instances can change an instance date and time – pushing it out of the desired time range or WORSE, pulling an instance that is currently out of range, INTO the time range.
Try to balance the two parameters: the time period and the number of events based on your knowledge of the types of events and their frequency.
For example: If you specify 10 events and 1000 days, the recurring events have to be generated out to 1000 days and all held in memory, until all events generated and modifications applied, and then the number can be cut back to 10.
As a guideline, If you want to show 5 events and usually they'd be in the next two months, then maybe 90-120 days would be suitable.
Note also that there is a difference between how hours, days, months thresholds are treated.


Pact, a nonprofit organization that runs programs focused on children of color adopted by white parents, made headlines last month when camp leaders alleged that racial slurs were yelled at campers from passing cars and at a mini-golf attraction. Pact's founder, Beth Hall, reportedly admitted that only camp counselors seem to have heard the alleged incidents of racial intolerance.
Pact has a history of focusing on alleged claims of racism. Among other activities, the group introduces preschool age campers to complex topics such as "police brutality" against blacks. It also instructs kids to react to such controversial shootings as the Trayvon Martin shooting in Miami Gardens, Florida, and Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
In one video posted on the group's YouTube account, preschool age family campers are seen marching in a choreographed presentation and speaking out against police brutality. On the walls are student-drawn sketches of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and others killed in controversial shootings.
A young boy in the video says, "My dance honors those people that have been killed by the police." He explains in detail that the death of Tamir Rice in Cleveland, Ohio, compelled him to create the dance.
Another video, "2016 Pact Family Camp Teen Spoken Word," features teenagers delivering similar highly charged rhetoric about racism and police brutality.
"People of color aren't the ones that need to be tame, power and prejudice are to blame," rapped one teenage camper.
Another teenager rapped these lyrics.
Hall, the executive director of Pact, has written extensively on the subject of interracial adoption in families. Her book, "Inside Transracial Adoption," makes strong accusations against whites as a class of people.
"If we insist that all white people are the enemies (racists, or at best, racists in recovery), is it really surprising that so many walk on by when we insist that they take the blame? Educating the white community requires all the sensitivity we can muster," the author writes on page 291.
In another section of the book, on page 18, she writes, "There are no clearly distinct 'black,' 'white,' or other races. Race is the creation of hierarchies that serve the dominant class of people (in the United States, originally white slave owners)." The book adds that the concept of biological race is based on a "false assumption" about grouping people based on similar anatomical traits.
She also suggests that racism is rampant.
Hall did not return TNR's request for comment.
However, the Pact leader told VTDigger that Stowe needs a community forum where residents must be "willing to hear things and not get defensive" as it relates to residents' alleged racist tendencies.
Maybe these camps should offer a course on respecting our brave law enforcement and military, I guess that's not en vogue anymore.
She says "There are no clearly distinct 'black,' 'white,' or other races". If so, it makes all the blather she spouts about 'racism' absolutely nonsensical. Of course this analysis is too logical for her bigoted brain(!) to comprehend.
This is just a case of Liberal Indoctrination. I assume Pact's founder, Beth Hall, has an issue with people she believes "White Privilege" has turned against these kids. My question to Beth Hall where are the parents of the children? That's the first concern I have (deceased or incarcerated). That would make a difference.
I'm glad she's willing to help with adoption, but this indoctrination ( Video ) will definitely turn off prospective parents. It turned me off. By putting things in the heads of these kids that they probably never heard of, but this liberal BS agenda has tainted these KIDS. Shameful. This Liberal (Californian) BS, might fly there but, it's not a Vermont thing.
I didn't see one word, zero about the violence kids and people in general are suffering through in Democratic controlled Cities like Chicago, Hartford, Detroit, Baltimore, DC, LA… Just more racism claims thrown at whole race of people is in itself racist.. Start teaching these kids their Rights & freedoms & some morals not percieved threats & nor should you be celebrating criminals which is exactly what this camp is doing!! Stay in Californiastan lady!! As a fact more unarmed white people are shot by police every year for the same reason black Americans are shot because of criminal activity!! Come correct or don't come at all Mrs Hall from Pact!!


Dr. Michael Nightingale completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree with Honours at the University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry. Prior to his dental training, he studied both Biology and Medical Sciences achieving a dual degree with distinction from the University of Western Ontario.
Dr. Nightingale prides himself on his ability to communicate with his patients. He strives to create an environment where his patients know all of the possible treatment options available. He then works with each individual to help them make informed decisions that cater specifically to their own wishes and needs. Dr. Nightingale has been recognized externally for these attributes and was awarded the Canadian Dental Association Student Leadership Award and the Gordon Cressy Leadership Award during his training at the University of Toronto. Additionally, he was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honour Society in 2015 in acknowledgement of his dedication to patient care and outstanding character.
In 2014, Dr. Nightingale traveled to a small village in Nepal where he provided dental care for the under-serviced community living in the area. While there, he was able to gain first hand exposure to the negative consequences caused by a lack of dental education and inadequate oral care. This experience inspired his dedication to always treat his own patients here in Markham with the absolute highest standard of care. He is a member in good standing with the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario as well as the Ontario Dental Association. In his free time he enjoys travelling, scuba diving, snowboarding and relaxing with family and friends.

Kudos to Digital Domain for your titanic work on Titanic!
Research Triangle Park — 24 marzo 1998 —
It's no shocker that Oscar smiled on Titanic on March 23. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Song....well, we could go on, just as the list (along with our hearts) goes on. But among all the pomp and circumstance and Billy Crystal antics, there is one award that we felt was perhaps the most notable, and this award is that which recognizes the stunning and painstaking recreation of the ill-fated Titanic and its subsequent sinking: The Award for Visual Effects.
So we congratulate the people at Digital Domain, the production company that rendered the visual effects for the film, and we congratulate all the people who worked hard to make Titanic an extraordinary visual spectacle as well as a historically accurate one.
We at Red Hat are glad to be a mere rivet in creating the visuals for Titanic (see http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue46/2494.html ). Thank you Digital Domain for your support of and faith in Red Hat Linux. We've enjoyed our maiden voyage with Titanic, and we look forward to smooth sailing ahead.

To need to crawl up a slope in order to get out of bed means either that the crawler has a severe headache – or that the bed is not level… this was the case this morning. Overnight water levels in the short pound between locks 5 and 4 had dropped, and so Cleddau was aground on mud on the towpath side, just afloat on the offside. Armed with a windlass the Captain sauntered off round the corner to the lock ahead and eased more water into the pound until the boat gently floated free.
Winds howled overhead, buffeting boats and bodies relentlessly. There is no joy in boating in such conditions. With no deadlines to meet (yet) we plotted an escape from the shallow Aylesbury Arm up onto the Grand Union, intending to secure the first sheltered mooring past Marsworth Junction. In an hour the day's cruising was done, from untying on one canal, through four locks, to retying on another!
This canal arm is narrow, entirely rural for the first mile, sheltered by tall hedges and trees, some already showing some autumn colour. There were sloes, plums, rose hips, elderberries and conkers but no sign of human activity. Then after a road bridge appeared an enormous flour mill. On the canal went, twisting and bending. Do boats ever come on this canal? Then an end of garden mooring appeared; then a little boat and before the end of the Arm were four more narrow boats. The end is obviously the end, and beyond lies just a dried out overgrown ditch. The Wendover Arm is a restoration triumph, as the bridge plaques attest.
Mapless we gambled on a different route back, plunging down a valley through woods to Tringford Reservoir and then Startop's End Reservoir. Off the dam walls we were back at canal level – and outside Bluebells. A pot of tea and an open sandwich seemed suitable refreshment after the sometimes wet and always wild walk.
Somehow there are no plans to cook tonight!
(Tomorrow: downhill, towards the Soulbury Three).

Abolist NTA to Cut Drug Addiction
"Methadone prescriptions for heroin addicts would be cut and the National Treatment Agency that runs the programme scrapped under plans from the Tories favourite think-tank," reports Rosemary Bennett, social affairs correspondent of The Times newspaper.
"The Centre for Social Justice, set up by Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, said it was unacceptable that only 4% of addicts in treatment ever get "clean" and accused the agency of "pushing aside" proper rehabilitation. The Times has also learnt that the highly influential think-tank will use a report on Monday to throw its weight behind Ken Clarke, the Justice Secretary, who called for short prison sentences to be scrapped.The report will state that the CSJ agrees with him that short sentences of two months do nothing to help to rehabilitate offenders and should be replaced by community orders."
The CSJ's Green Paper on Criminal Justice and Addiction comes as the government considers major changes to drug policy and the future of the National Treatment Agency. Set up in 2001, the NTA oversees the controversial "harm reduction" strategy – most recent NTA treatment statistics show that of the 207,000 addicts a year who use 'treatment' services, only 8,980 completed their treatment drug free.4,600 addicts have access to residential rehabilitation.Numerous residential drug rehabilitation centres have closed because of lack of patients, despite no sharp fall in the number of addicts.
The CSJ said that the NTA, the running costs of which have spiralled to £18million a year, merely processes addicts with a "fatalistic" belief that they can never get clean. It wants it scrapped and replaced by an Addiction Recovery Board, chaired by a minister and charged with getting addicts off drugs altogether, using the best local private sector and charity programmes, or "recovery communities".
The report says there is a role for methadone, but it should be used only as part of a wider treatment programme, with abstinence the goal.
"There is no strategy or incentive to reduce the numbers on maintenance treatment and move people into recovery," the CSJ said. The report is also highly critical of how drug use is tolerated in prison: 55% of prisoners received into custody each year are classified as problematic drug users. According to the Ministry of Justice, one in five men who reports using mainstream drugs first used them in prison.
