Noclu's dropped the deepest EP of his life and it will soothe your soul
Dave Jenkins / 25 May 2018
We go way back with Munster-based operator Noclu. Right back to one of his earliest dubstep releases: Skankah, uploaded almost exactly four years ago.
Over the years that have passed he's cast his net far and wide. Honing a powerful sense of atmosphere across beats, 140 and ambient styles (which can all be soaked up in his early works playlist on Spotify) he's worked with the label likes of Hatched, Yusoul, Illusory and had the honour of being the first artist on two forward-thrusting new labels; Belgian connoisseurs DUPLOC and, earlier this month, brand new UK imprint Kikuju with the beguiling Folding Shadows EP.
A soul-smouldering glimpse into the deepest corners of his musical psyche, written during a period of life flux and loaded with disarming melancholy; from the trembling opening pianos of opening track Handle It to the last glacial shimmers of finale track Wide, Folding Shadows is one of the starkest narratives Noclu has composed to date. A body of work tailormade for all introspective moments you may find yourself in right now or in the future, we called him up to find out more…
Let's go back to Skankah for a second…
That was an interesting time. I was making more dubstep back then. I'd done some ambient and music that I like to describe as bus-driving-while-it's-raining-outside music before this but back then dubstep was more fluent for me. I still make it but not as much as I used to.
2014 was an interesting year to start making dubstep
Well in Germany we don't get the hype so much over here so we've done our own thing and there's a healthy soundsystem scene in the city where I live. I saw people were quitting it but I like the music so why should I quit?
Amen. Tell us about Munster's system situation!
There's a lot of dub happening here. We have five systems in our small city – MSF Soundsyste, Kunterbunt Soundsystem, Subtone Circus, Rootsplague Soundsystem and my own crew the Sublime Soundsystem. We collaborate a lot. It's a good community – we put on events and there are invariably more bassbins than people!
Nice. Dub culture and ambient; you can feel that strong blend in Folding Shadows. It feels like the EP was written during a particular time in your life, there's a story weaved through it.
Yeah it was. I was writing them all during a hard time and it was something I wanted to express on this EP. They sound like a story because the root of them was the same emotion. My mind, my situation and changing life a lot. I've been unhappy with my job so I quit that and became a student again. Maybe I can call it a quarter life crisis.
Life shit
What were you doing as a job before?
IT engineer. I'd been that for my whole life and I got back to studying. Right now I'm just getting my academic qualifications up to date so I can study what I want to.
Give us a persy favourite from the EP….
Thoughts In Stereo. It has that progression I really love and it totally took me by surprise. The soundscape gets fuller and fuller and I got more excited as I produced it. I was throwing in these elements and just took a life of its own. I couldn't have predicted that climax when I set out to do it.
For me it's Lost In Your Blanket. There's some Radioheady vibes in the overlapping textures in there…
I love Radiohead. I'm a big fan of them. I'd not thought about this but I produced the EP around the time Moon Shaped Pool was released. I was listening to that a lot so it's found its way in there subconsciously. maybe it's there.
Do you play any musical instruments?
Yes I'm learning guitar and used it on Folding Shadows. I have played the drums for 16 years now, too. I've been in a few bands. One that was in my youth and one I play in my city. It's an old school American hardcore band.
So you got a hardcore scene in Munster too?
It's a small punk scene, compared to Hamburg for example, but here are a lot of concerts and many bands. It's a great place to be!
Being the launch artist for new labels like DUPLOC and Kikuji is great place to be, too…
Yeah it is. It's an honour. I feel a bit special sometimes. There's something new coming on DUPLOC soon actually.
Got more stuff like this Folding Shadows EP planned?
Yeah sure. But I don't force myself to write one style – I want to explore things as much as possible. Let's just see how things go…

Accrington Stanley suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Shrewsbury Town, losing 4-0 at Greenhous Meadow.
A disastrous first half laid the foundations for the defeat. Andy Mangan's goal had the hosts in control before Luke Simpson saw red for hauling the striker down after misjudging a bouncing ball. Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro scored the spot-kick and Connor Goldson made it 3-0 before the interval. The result was already a formality even before Mangan sealed his brace in the second half.
There were four changes from the weekend defeat at Cheltenham as the manager reverted back to the familiar 4-4-2 formation with Adam Buxton, Rob Atkinson, Kal Naismith and James Alabi making way for Luke Joyce, Piero Mingoia, Will Hatfield and George Bowerman.
Shrewsbury had the better of the early exchanges with Jordan Clark and Mangan going close but their efforts were never going to trouble Simpson.
In a sign of what was to come, the Stanley keeper was almost caught out as he raced off his line to claim a cross and was almost beaten by Akpa Akpro's flicked header but the stopper was just tall enough to catch the ball and spare his own blushes.
The Shrews were well in command and took the lead with their next attack in fortuitous circumstances.
Tom Aldred rolled the ball back to Simpson and, under pressure from Mangan, the goalkeeper blasted his clearance against the former Stanley man, watching in horror as the ball trickled into the back of the net.
Going a goal down sparked Stanley into life with Joyce, Josh Windass and Hatfield all having shots from range but they all went well wide of Jayson Leutwiler's goal.
The hosts' lead was almost doubled as Akpa Akpro volleyed over from 18 yards before Jordan Mustoe's clearance from Mangan's low cross flashed over his own bar.
Things got worse for the Reds just before half-time as Simpson misjudged a bouncing ball and then hauled down Mangan with the striker facing an open goal. Referee Chris Sarginson had no hesitation in pointing to the spot and sending off the Stanley goalkeeper.
Akpa Akpro sent substitute goalkeeper Jay Lynch the wrong way from 12 yards to double the advantage and it would get even worse before the first half was out.
Liam Lawrence's corner wasn't cleared and Goldson lashed the loose ball into the top corner to give Shrewsbury a comfortable 3-0 lead at the break.
Predictably, the second half began with the Reds on the back foot and it was 4-0 just after the hour as Akpa Akpro broke away down the left and sent over a floated cross which Mangan glanced home for his second goal of the game.
Were it not for Lynch in the Stanley goal it would have been 5-0 to the hosts as Ashley Vincent found space in the area but his powerful effort was palmed away by the keeper.
In a rare Stanley attack, Windass fired in a free-kick which Leutwiler had to turn behind for a corner to the Reds but the set-piece came to nothing.
Windass almost put through his own net at the other end, turning a cross from Cameron Gayle just past the post.
From there, the game petered out with Shrewsbury unable to add to their four goals on a night to forget for James Beattie and his men.
Accrington: Simpson; Hunt, Aldred, Winnard, Mustoe; Mingoia, Joyce, Windass, Hatfield (Naismith 79); Gray (Carver 74), Bowerman (Lynch 42).
Subs: Goulding, Atkinson, McCartan, Alabi.

Q: Sorting array of objects by a single value I am trying to figure out how to sort my array by objects in that array. In this example I want to be be able to sort my array by player name, or by player score.
var topPlayers = new Array();

$(".player").each( function(i) {
    topPlayers[i] = {};
    topPlayers[i]["name"] = $(this).children(".name").text();
    topPlayers[i]["score"] = $(this).children(".score").text();
});

topPlayers.sort(function(a.name,b.name){return a.name-b.name}); //This is the line of code I can't figure...

A: Sorting by name:
topPlayers.sort(function(a, b)
{
  if ( a.name > b.name ) return 1;
  else if ( a.name < b.name ) return -1;
  else return 0;
});

Sorting by score:
topPlayers.sort(function(a, b)
{
  return a.score - b.score;
});

A: The sort method takes a function that makes a comparison and returns a number depending on the result:
topPlayers.sort(function(a,b){
  if (a.name < b.name) return -1;
  if (a.name > b.name) return 1;
  return 0;
});

For numeric values you can just subtract them to get the right return value:
topPlayers.sort(function(a,b){
  return a.score - b.score;
});

List #138: How to Be Robin Scherbatsky
This is Robin. She's the character on the How I Met Your Mother who isn't played by anyone extremely famous. The girl who who Ted Mosby stole a blue french horn for. The one broke Barney's player heart. And she's friends with Allan Thicke.
What makes Robin?
Know how to drink hard liquor smoothly. Order this after the crappiest of days. Or when you're really looking to get laid.
Have one man completely in love with you and have him shout it from the streets. Entertain this man because he's vocal and exactly what you should want.
Recognize that this man is exactly what you don't want. And be honest.
Be madly in love with your best friend. But fear that you're just another girl he wants to bang.
Hide emotions.
Struggle with balancing your career and your personal life. Choose career over settling down.
Be the All-American girl from Canada. In other words, struggle with your roots and don't close doors.
Root passionately for your favorite hockey team.
Giggle when lying.
Let's Go to the Mall. Today. You know, that thing you never want people to discover.
Feel that nothing in life is solid. And be scared shitless. But see number 5.
Am I like Robin? Definitely. Am I everything like her at this exact moment? No. But she's one of the most believable portraits of a single woman on television. And you could say that a few of the above 11 may describe this woman. At least at certain points in her life.
I think I may need Robin to end up happy more than I need Ted to find his wife.
What about you, dear readers? Which television character speaks to your inner self? Share in the comments.

Jimmy McGovern: 'We can't dodge the issue of care for the elderly any longer
Screenwriter hopes new BBC production, called Care, will spark debate on growing social problem

The screenwriter Jimmy McGovern has called for a national conversation on attitudes towards care of the elderly and infirm, saying politicians needed to stop "dodging" the issue and that more television dramas should tackle such social problems.
McGovern, the writer behind award-winning programmes such as Cracker, Hillsborough and last year's drama Broken, has made Care, a 90-minute production for the BBC. It tells the story of a single mother who has to care for her elderly mother after she has a stroke and develops dementia, and how the local health authorities refuse to take responsibility.
"I know we've got Brexit and all that going on but it would be great if this drama helped to start a debate about care," McGovern told the Observer. "It's a question that needs to be addressed rather than dodged, as it is now."
Care, which stars Alison Steadman, Sheridan Smith and Sinead Keenan, is loosely based on the experiences of McGovern's co-writer, Gillian Juckes.
McGovern said: "I was interested in the way her work tackled the hoops you have to go through to get care for somebody. We have featured millions of dementia stories in Moving On [McGovern's successful daytime BBC TV strand] but they're all about the onset and how people cope. This stood out because it was about the hoops you have to jump through to get your mother into care."

Like last year's Broken, which told the story of how a parish priest, played by Sean Bean, affected a troubled community's lives, Care deals with big issues in an intimate character-driven drama. "Social issues are where my mind is right now," said McGovern. "It's a shame that more dramas aren't tackling those sorts of story,, whatever genre they're in. Because a big problem in writing television dramas is a sense of structure – how are you going to tell the story?
In crime dramas, it's all there already – the perpetration of the crime, the discovery, breaking the news, the arrest, the trial... If you're riding that gravy train, you're duty-bound to say something significant about the human condition. The rest is so easy that you should do or say something that matters. In Cracker we used to have flights of fancy the whole time because the other stuff looked after itself."
At the heart of Care is Jenny (Smith) and her battle to convince various authorities that her mother (Steadman) is not well enough to be left alone at home. McGovern says it is this tension between what constitutes care and what constitutes treatment that he would like to see more widely debated.
"It's the core of the film," he says. "I found while making it is that there's a massive difference between treatment and care. Treatment is something that can get you better, but care is just care – looking after someone. But if treatment can't get you better, you shouldn't be in hospital. That's central to this piece – that people are saying I know you need care but this is a hospital and if we cannot make you better we'll kick you out. We need the beds.
"It's the same with palliative care – you shouldn't be in hospital for palliative care when there are other people who can be cured. It's ruthless but it's so essential."
Complaints over social care in England nearly trebled since 2010
With such an emotive subject McGovern admits that casting was crucial. "The likes of Sheridan, she's just so human and people will watch her because they love her," he says. "There's a scene where her sister says the best thing a mother can do for her kids is die and Sheridan just says you're so wrong and it's a lovely little exchange because there's so much that's not being said. She's very touching, very human, she does the pain wonderfully well. Similarly with Alison, she's so impressive because she's pitched it just right. It would be really easy to go over the top and she doesn't and that's why it works."
McGovern is working on two further projects. One, a new series that he hopes Sean Bean will star in, is some way off and will tackle "a huge social issue. I can't talk about it now but it's something that's been ignored for far too long". The other has been given the green light by the BBC and is a dramatisation of the racist murder of 18-year-old Anthony Walker in Huyton, Merseyside in 2005. "I can't write two things at the same time," McGovern says, "and right now Anthony is in here [he points to his head] and I've got to let his story be told."
Despite being one of the few writers tackling social issues and place working class stories centre stage, McGovern says it would be a mistake to see his work as political: "If you look at a writer like Jim Allen [who was behind Days of Hope, Raining Stones and Land and Freedom] then I'm no such thing. It just happens that I write about people with problems and because those problems are rarely seen on TV, it's seen as political. It's not – it's about characters and stories that need to be told."
Care is on BBC One on Sunday 9 December, 9pm

Think this was Tiger's best shot of 2018? He does.
It has been an extraordinary year for Tiger Woods. Nobody knew what to expect from the 14-time major champion on his comeback from spinal fusion surgery, not even himself. But Woods performed brilliantly throughout 2018, before bagging his first victory on the PGA Tour in five years, at the Tour Championship in September.
Along the way, Woods has hit a plethora of phenomenal shots, and he was today asked at a pre-tournament press conference for the Hero World Challenge what he considers to be the most remarkable shot that he has hit this year and why. The 80-time winner on the PGA Tour didn't need too much time to think about his answer to the question, having one moment in particular on his mind.
"The shot I hit down 10 at the Open Championship out of that bunker, I thought that, 'This is the tournament. I win the Open Championship or I lose the Open Championship on this shot.' If it clips the bunker, I lose. If it comes out, I'm going to go ahead and win this thing.
Here is the shot that Woods is talking about, and although after pulling it off he didn't go onto win the event, I think we can all agree that it was one hell of a shot.
So GolfWRXers, after a memorable comeback year for Woods, what shot do you consider to be his best of 2018?
Tiger Woods and GolfTV strike content deal. What do GolfWRX Members want to see?
Must be a slow golf news day.
I realize this guy moves the needle, but it would be refreshing to read about what a creep this guy really is – amazing how he gets a pass for all of his aberrant behavior in the past, along with the fact that he really is just not a good person.
Write/talk about his past achievements in golf – but stop making him out to be this great ambassador for the game – takes good character for that – something he does not have.
If he say it was, then it was.
The iron shot to #15 in the final round of the PGA wasn't too bad either.

Kim Richards Arrested for Shoplifting
Kim Richards arrested for shoplifting from Target.
Kim Richards seems to really like Target. The troubled Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was arrested on Sunday, Aug. 2, for allegedly shoplifting from the retailer in San Fernando Valley, Calif., and now, the Los Angeles City Attorney tells Us Weekly that she is accused of stealing more than 100 items. The plethora of items totaled about $612.
While the exact inventory of what Richards allegedly shoplifted has yet to be revealed, the reality star's cart was filled mainly with toys, Entertainment Tonight reports.
The former child star was charged and arraigned on Monday, Aug. 3, on one count of petty theft. Richards, who spent the night in jail, was released on Monday, Aug. 3, on $5,000 bail.
Following her arrest, Richards' ex-husband Monty Brinson told Entertainment Tonight he was shocked to hear the news.
"I couldn't imagine Kim stealing or shoplifting anything. She is a giver," he said, adding he's "guaranteed this must be some kind of mistake."
Richards, for her part, pleaded not guilty and is due in court Aug. 20. This incident comes after she was arrested for public intoxication, battery, and resisting arrest after getting into a drunken confrontation with police at the Beverly Hills Hotel in April. Following the spat, Richards checked into multiple rehab facilities.
As previously reported by Us, Richards will not be returning to RHOBH.

I just do not understand how and why she continues to get a pass and continue to be on the show. The show is just heightening her addiction and is feeding her habit, thus, making her vulnerable to fuck ups over and OVER again..but let this be someone on RHOA.....SMDH! #PhuckBravo!
I wonder if she too will fade into the sunset like Winnona Ryder - at least Winnona had a real talent before drugs led her to shoplifting... she ain't had a part since Black Swan and her azz got ran over in that movie...

Implementing the Global Fragility Act: What Comes Next?
By: Susanna Campbell; Corinne Graff, Ph.D.
Amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, the Biden-Harris administration has quietly released a new policy that commits the United States to do more to "interrupt potential pathways to conflict" and reduce threats before they arrive on our shores. This new initiative comes at a difficult time for the United States and the world, given the full-blown crises that require the international community's urgent attention, from COVID-19 to the climate crisis. Still, it represents an unprecedented and promising commitment at the highest levels of our government to apply the important lessons learned from decades of U.S. involvement in conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.

To Counter COVID Amid Crises, Peacebuilding Steps Are Vital
By: Katherine Bliss ; Corinne Graff, Ph.D.; Erol Yayboke
As the world enters its third year fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, health care professionals have administered 10 billion-plus vaccine doses worldwide, protecting large majorities of people in rich countries. Yet few doses have reached those living in war zones or places affected by conflict or violence, who remain largely unvaccinated and vulnerable to the disease. Preventing those countries from falling further behind will require increasing the supply of vaccines, improving delivery and overcoming barriers to vaccine acceptance. It will also necessitate doing more to navigate the politics of vaccine administration, including through peacebuilding strategies that promote dialogue and trust with marginalized communities.
How to Deliver for Citizens in Fragile States After the Democracy Summit
By: Corinne Graff, Ph.D.
Last week's Summit for Democracy hosted by President Biden was a call to action. The first-ever international convening of its kind, it offered democratic leaders an opportunity to announce political commitments to reform over the coming year, and to begin to share experiences and learn from each other in a more deliberate way than has been the case to date. Given the unprecedented threats facing democratic systems worldwide, it was an important and timely step. What is less clear is what the summit entails for a particular subset of aspiring democracies: countries currently or recently affected by civil war that are transitioning to democracy.
What Afghanistan Teaches Us About Evidence-Based Policy
Even as the debate over the lessons learned by the U.S. government in Afghanistan continues, several clear conclusions have emerged. One is that U.S. agencies repeatedly underestimated the time and resources needed to support a nation wracked by decades of war, while they failed to follow a consistent plan for civilian recovery efforts. U.S. personnel also lacked the training needed to be successful in the field, and monitoring and evaluation efforts did not receive the policy attention required to enable course corrections and learning.
Global Policy; Fragility & Resilience
Prioritize Building Resilience at this Year's U.N. General Assembly
World leaders are gathering in New York this week for the 2021 U.N. General Assembly against a backdrop of unprecedented global crises, including the continued spread of COVID-19 due to lack of access to vaccines; a growing hunger crisis as more people around the world die every day from starvation than from COVID-19; and the fact that roughly one percent of the world's entire population — or one in every 97 people — is now forcibly displaced. These humanitarian challenges are compounded by a generational climate crisis and rising tensions with Russia and China that will need to be carefully managed.

Sotheby's net income was $67.6 million in the quarter than ended June 30, compared with $77.6 million in the same period last year.
Sotheby's, the New York-based auctioneer of art and collectibles, reported a 13% decrease in second-quarter profit that fell below analyst expectations because of a change in the sales calendar and a loss on a painting sold during the period.
Net income was $67.6 million, or 96 cents a share, in the quarter ended June 30, compared with $77.6 million, or $1.11, in the same period last year, Sotheby's said Friday. The company was expected to report earnings of $1.22 a share, according to the average of five analysts in a Bloomberg survey.
Prices for art have reached records, fueled by a surge in private wealth and a six-year rally in financial markets. Sotheby's and rival auction house Christie's are under pressure to boost profitability that's been eroded in the competition for top consignments.
Sotheby's reported earnings before the start of regular trading. The shares have declined 6.2% this year through yesterday, compared with a 1.2% gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.
The auction house also announced a $250 million share buyback, up from $125 million in a prior authorization. The company said it will complete the purchases in the next 12 to 18 months.
Revenue in the quarter fell 1% to $332 million. Sotheby's biggest auctions are held in the second and fourth quarters.
The decline "is largely due to a change in the timing of the summer evening sale of contemporary art in London, which was held in the third quarter in 2015 after being held in the second quarter in 2014, as well as unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates," Sotheby's said in a statement.
The London evening sale of contemporary art took place in the third quarter on July 1.
Last month Sotheby's said its preliminary sales for the first half were $3.2 billion, the same total as for the period last year. Christie's tally for the same period rose to a record 2.9 billion pounds ($4.5 billion), the London-based company said.
In May, Sotheby's sold $894.6 million of art in New York, boosted by demand from Asian buyers. Wang Jianlin, Asia's richest man and chairman of China's Dalian Wanda Group, bought a Claude Monet painting for $20.4 million at Sotheby's Impressionist and modern art sale on May 5. Chinese movie mogul Wang Zhongjun bought a Picasso for $29.9 million at the same sale.

Gülen-linked journalist association urges President Gül to take action over interventions on graft probe
Date posted: February 3, 2014
A journalist association affiliated with the movement of the Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen issued a fresh call to President Abdullah Gül on Feb. 3, demanding that he take action over what it described as the government's interventions in the ongoing graft investigations.
"We call on the president to observe his duty to prevent the constitutional order, the independence of the judiciary, and the rule of law from being put at risk," Journalists and Writers Foundation (GYV) Chairman Mustafa Yeşil said in a press statement.
Yeşil also denounced a "hate speech" and "lynch campaign" directed against Gülen's Hizmet (Service) movement, quoting a number of the accusations voiced by government officials, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
"A constructive and proactive approach from the president, who represents the unity of the country and the state, is urgent and indispensable to prevent social peace from being undermined, the country from being dragged into chaos, and an important part of society from being subjected to political and social lynching. Most important of it all, he should safeguard justice," Yeşil added.
He rejected once again the claims that the graft probes were being orchestrated by members of the movement within the police and the judiciary.
"The repetition of those slanders that have come onto the agenda is a hate crime," Yeşil said.
The GYV had warned in a previous statement that the movement could withdraw its support from the government if the Hizmet movement was further polarized. Gülen himself had written a letter to Gül last month in which he expressed concerns regarding purges within the police department and judiciary.
However, the government's response to the probes with massive reassignments continued throughout January, with hundreds of police officers being relocated and prosecutors dismissed amid reshuffles.

Turkish citizens in Arkansas face uncertain futures

Shutting down prep schools against free enterprise, analysts say
"It's not possible to make out of this behavior befitting a government that defends a market economy," Seyfettin Gürsel, director of Bahçeşehir University's Center for Economic and Social Research, told Today's Zaman. Opponents of the government's plan have also noted that the prep schools are a consequence of the many inadequacies of Turkey's education system, and said that prep schools help low-income students enter university.

Binge will be available on all devices.
New $10 streaming service is here
by Lexie Cartwright
A brand new streaming service boasting shows like Game of Thrones and Big Little Lies launches in Australia today.
After much speculation, the launch of BINGE will grant Aussie viewers cheap access to some of the world's most popular shows - including those made by production powerhouse HBO - for $10 a month.
BINGE, which was manufactured by the same team behind Kayo Sports, will be available to customers from today at binge.com.au where you can sign up for a two week free trial.
It launches with 10,000 hours of TV shows and movies, sourced from its parent company Foxtel's content deals with big Hollywood studios such as Warner Media, NBC Universal, FX, BBC and Sony.
Binge is Australia's new streaming service offering the best drama, entertainment and movies from the world's best creators. New to Binge? Get your two week free trial , sign up at binge.com.au
What Binge will look like on your TV.
The big hitters are award-winning and much buzzed about series' including: Succession, The Outsider, Mrs America, Chernobyl, Game of Thrones, Big Little Lies, Westworld, Barry, Veep, The Sopranos, The Walking Dead, Mrs America, Sex and the City, Seinfeld, Modern Family, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Grand Designs UK and David Attenborough documentaries.
Their deal with WarnerMedia means BINGE will also get access to original scripted content from the new American streaming service, HBO Max (not launching in Australia), which includes the Friends reunion and reboot of Gossip Girl.
The service, which has been two years in the making, will kick off with 800 movies in its library, with new content added daily.
Notable films include the Fast & Furious, Jurassic Park, Mission Impossible and DC Universe collections, and classics from Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino.
Customers will be able to choose from three pricing tiers starting at $10 per month (1 stream SD), $14 per month (2 streams HD) and $18 per month (4 streams HD).
BINGE CEO Julian Ogrin said he was confident the enticing price point - paired with the brand's unique user experiences and range of content - would help the platform compete in a crowded market.
"The price point and expectation of the products and the way they're packaged has largely been set in the market, and we wanted to make sure we were coming in with such a great offering and such a great new brand experience," Mr Ogrin told news.com.au.
Popular series Succession will hit streaming on Binge.
"Being able to match that already set price market is obviously us putting our best foot forward.
"What makes us distinct, we have an amazing content portfolio. We're really excited about the depth across all categories and genres. The other is product experience, we'll always be humble on that but we're very confident around what the product experience does. The way I'm able to navigate myself around it. It's reliable.
"Then the third piece is the brand. The name BINGE speaks for itself, you can see through the logo, the energy and the warmth. That's what we're all about and what the brand represents. This whole notion of bingeing great content.
Mr Ogrin, who predicted the $14 package would be the most popular among customers, said there were four million Australians who regularly indulge in streaming, a figure he says is predicted to double over the next three years, making now the perfect time to launch BINGE.
"Bingeing is already established. It's become the norm," he said.
"We want to give people permission to escape the daily grind, lose themselves and indulge with good old fashioned entertainment.
"And when we're coming in, we have an established market and growth. It is a huge opportunity."
While premium content is one of BINGE's biggest draw cards, the platform also boasts unique features including a 'Surprise Me!' function, which gives viewers a similar experience to that of live TV viewing.
BINGE has an entry level cost of $10 per month.
BINGE's director of content and product Brian Lenz said, "It's our start in trying to bring channel surfing into the streaming world.
"A lot of what we explored in research groups and what we've lost in streaming is actually starting to watch something when you haven't made a choice yet.
"(It's for) that time when you just want to be pulled into something."
BINGE can be accessed by Android TV, Apple TV, Telstra TV and Chromecast.
BINGE launches in Australia today.

A total of 115 sea turtle hatchlings made their way to the sea last March 29, 2019 from the shoreline of a coal-fired power plant, no less.
Since December 2018, three pawikan or sea turtle nests were discovered along the coast of AboitizPower subsidiary Therma South, Inc. (TSI). The first nest was found in December 14 and the second last February 23, 2019. Since the discovery of the nests, TSI has worked with various groups, including the team from the group's pawikan conservatory in Aboitiz Cleanergy Park in Punta Dumalag, to ensure that the nests inside TSI are well-protected and well-cared for.
The sea turtle hatchlings released last March 29 emerged from an undiscovered third nest along the shore of the coal-fired power plant.
TSI named this batch of sea turtle hatchlings "Team Stingray" after Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio's son, whose birthday is on the same day.
"This occurrence reinforces the diversity of our marine ecosystem in the city. Having a coal-fired power plant playing host to these hatchlings makes this event even more interesting," expressed Mayor Duterte, who would have wanted to join the releasing if not for prior engagements scheduled that afternoon.
Asec. Ruth Tawantawan of Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Region XI (DENR-XI) also extended her congratulations to TSI and its efforts in protecting the nests and the marine ecosystem.
"The hatching of the pawikans has been an eye-opening experience. It is a small indicator that our environmental stewardship efforts are bearing fruit. The presence of these endangered creatures inside the plant is proof of sustainable environmental conditions resulting from the steps we have taken to operate our power plants responsibly," said Danel Aboitiz, President and Chief Operating Officer of the AboitizPower-Coal Business Unit .
Since sea turtles come back to the place where they hatch through their magnetic imprinting, there might be other nests in the area. When the released hatchlings grow up, they may come back to the area to lay new nests and repeat the cycle. Because of this, TSI plans to engage the community and experts to ensure that the shorelines remain pristine and conducive for pawikan nesting in the years to come.

Feminists In Lebanon Raise Their Voices Against The Demeaning Status Of Women
On the occasion of mother's day and women's month, Fe-Male organized along with Bassmeh, a Lebanese community-based organization, on Saturday 19 March 2022 a sit-in with the participation of more than 40 women and men at the Martyr's Square- Beirut to advocate for women's rights and specifically mothers who daily are facing the arbitrary decisions coming from personal status laws in Lebanon.
Under a demanding title "We mothers, don't want a bouquet of roses or kitchen tools nor reverence of our motherhood, we want our full rights" the protesters wanted to affirm from the martyr's square that women's rights are privileged political issues and that reforms can not take place if women were left behind, "so we stress that women's issues are at the heart of our revolution's permanent issues over the ruling system". Crystal Abi Raad from Bassmeh said in her speech.
In her manifesto for the occasion, Fe-Male's Executive Director Hayat Mirshad added "We are here today, women, girls, activists, mothers, and daughters, to confirm and remind those who thought we were defeated that our voice will always and forever be loud and angry in the face of patriarchy, violence, and discrimination and that we have not and will not compromise our right to full citizenship without exceptions in exchange for bouquets of roses, lies, and allegations.
"We consider that the injustice inflicted on women in personal status laws is nothing but a reflection of the ugliness of this system, in which its politicians meet with the men of their religion to perpetuate and deepen division, violence, and marginalization," emphasized Hayat Mirshad.
Women are deprived of their right to citizenship, to grant citizenship to their children, or to have their custody, they are killed in cold blood, while criminals are acquitted under patriarchal allegations such as "honor" and "outburst of anger."
Lebanese women and mothers still have a long way to go to assure basic human rights, whether being able to take custody of their children after divorce or being able to give their Lebanese citizenship to their children.
"Hundreds of mothers are kept away from their children, tortured and imprisoned by the unjust custody laws, this is in addition to the practices of extortion and sexual assault that many women are subjected to in the corridors of "Sharia" and spiritual courts"
While the failed 15 personal status laws all converge and insist on the exclusion of women and discrimination against them.
During the sit-in, the protesters held slogans like "Where is motherhood? They stole it!" and "Patriarchal system kills" and other highlights that are asking about Lillian Chaito, the mother whose son was robbed from her after she went into a coma after the disastrous 4 August blast, in the name of religion.
The protesters also commented that Mother's Day is a great occasion to affirm that it will not be the only day to renew activism against toxic patriarchy, but "will remain on fire as long as the ruling system continues its violence against women in particular and citizens in general".

How do jackhammers and pneumatic drills work?
Dec 11, 2021 · Today, if you want to dig a hole in a hurry and there's a thick lump of concrete or asphalt in your way, you're most likely to use a jackhammer, also known as a pneumatic (air-powered) drill, rock drill, or pavement breaker.

Purch Gets Membership Rewards Platform with Active Junky Acquisition
Deal gives company a foothold in the outdoor enthusiast market.
By Bill Mickey :: September 21, 2015
Purch, a network of tech sites that marry content and commerce, has expanded into the outdoor gear market with the purchase of online shopping community Active Junky.
The deal combines a new market opportunity—outdoor enthusiasts—with a technology platform that blends membership with cash-back loyalty rewards. Visitors sign up for a free membership with Active Junky, shop for gear at a variety of well-known retailers and receive cash back on their purchases.
The outdoor market is decidedly different than Purch's up-to-now focus on consumer tech, but it's big and, according to Purch CEO Greg Mason, outdoor gear shoppers are not that different from tech shoppers.
"This presents a big opportunity for us as it's not well-served by publishers, and yet there is tremendous consumer demand," he says. "It's similar to the technology market as the products are 'technical' and researched extensively online."
Importantly, Mason tells Folio: that Active Junky's loyalty platform was also an attractive asset. "We will extend the Active Junky platform to our full brand portfolio, although it won't be called Active Junky," he says. "We'll begin to roll out its loyalty program across our more than 20 owned and operated sites. We believe developing these kinds of 'Member' services across our portfolio will augment our strategy to unify content, content, and community—driving more loyalty and repeat visitation, which will naturally strengthen our business model."
Deal terms were not disclosed and it comes shortly after a $135 million series C raised in June. Purch's total raise is now $175 million.
