The 14th Colony
What happens if both the president and vice-president-elect die before taking the oath of office? The answer is far from certain―in fact, what follows would be nothing short of total political chaos.Shot down over Siberia, ex-Justice Department agent Cotton Malone is forced into a fight for survival against Aleksandr Zorin, a man whose loyalty to the former Soviet Union has festered for decades into an intense hatred of the United States.Before escaping, Malone learns that Zorin and another ex-KGB officer, this one a sleeper still embedded in the West, are headed overseas to Washington D.C. Noon on January 20th―Inauguration Day―is only hours away. A flaw in the Constitution, and an even more flawed presidential succession act, have opened the door to disaster and Zorin intends to exploit both weaknesses to their fullest. Armed with a weapon leftover from the Cold War, one long thought to be just a myth, Zorin plans to attack. He's aided by a shocking secret hidden in the archives of America's oldest fraternal organization―the Society of Cincinnati―a group that once lent out its military savvy to presidents, including helping to formulate three invasion plans of what was intended to be America's 14th colony―Canada. In a race against the clock that starts in the frozen extremes of Russia and ultimately ends at the White House itself, Malone must not only battle Zorin, he must also confront a crippling fear that he's long denied, but which now jeopardizes everything. Steve Berry's trademark mix of history and speculation is all here in this provocative new thriller.

Rock Creek Trail forms a winding path, at times narrow, through the urban greenway of Rock Creek Regional Park. The trail extends between Needwood Lake northeast of Rockville, MD, and the Washington, D.C., border, 14 miles south. Although the area is urbanized, the trail route is through a mostly wooded corridor that encompasses Rock Creek, as it flows toward the Potomac River.
It's a popular trail despite that it's not always well marked, and you may find yourself taking unexpected side paths in different directions. In addition, the trail is often covered in branches and leaves, and the asphalt heaves in many places from tree roots. If you're on a bike, take it slowly and enjoy the green refuge, giving way to runners and walkers.
At the south end, along Beach Drive, the trail enters Washington, D.C., and continues as the Rock Creek Park Trail.
There are dozens of places to park all along the route within Rock Creek Regional Park. Consult the map for details.
Date: August, 2017. Riders 63 year old man and women. So that you know our skill level, my wife and I usually ride 15 – 20 miles without any problem. Often we ride the W&OD from route 28 north, the Custis trail, the Mount Vernon trail (both upper and lower), Four Mile Run…..
This trail is not what I expected after reading the description and reviews.
The Good: The trail is mostly covered with trees so the ride – even on a sunny day – is cool. There are many brooks and foliage as well as deer to see. It was not crowded on the Sunday afternoon when we went. There are many cross trails you can take and many parks along the way. The trail is very well marked and easy to follow. Steep grades are marked so rides riders can prepare. A great cardio workout.
The Bad: This trail is covered in asphalt, but it is not the smooth asphalt. The asphalt has tiny rocks in it providing a very bumpy ride. The trail has many parts where tree roots have broken the asphalt and the soil below is showing through – it has not been maintained. It has many hills and dales with some hills make "steep grade" – which was absolutely true – some were very difficult to get up. There are many blind curves.
Rode from Lake Needwood south to Garrett Park and back,about 14 miles. Trail is paved the whole way and only 4 places where we had to cross streets. Mostly flat except for one short steep hill (50yds) south of Viers Mill road and in the woods the entire way along the side of Rock Creek. Trail access at Lake Needwood is well marked as is the trail (even distance signage!). There is evidence of recent construction projects on the trail, but they are all completed.
Will do this ride again, and will try the Matthew Henson Trail that feeds this trail from another trail head.
In response to a previous reviewer's comments and the trail description, this trail isn't hard to navigate. I believe the reviewer meant to leave comments on the DC section of the trail, which can be difficult to navigate in places and does lack helpful signage. However, the Montgomery County, MD, section of trail is well marked and easy to follow. Yes, there are several side paths offering access from surrounding neighborhoods, but if you go down one of them (more likely to accidentally happen if you're riding from north to south), you will soon realize your mistake and can easily retrace your steps.
As you approach Needwood Lake on the northern end, there is a massive sewerage redevelopment project, which amounts to a large section of trail replaced with old railroad ties. Not so good for road bikes but okay, if not bumpy, for hybrids and the like. The project is expected to take a while, so check the county's website for updates (http://www.montgomeryparks.org/PPSD/ParkTrails/trails_MAPS/rock_creek.shtm).
Per the description, the southern section of trail suffers from flooding and debris (mostly sand and mud) in places, as well as tree roots...this isn't a road biking trail. But most of the mid to northern section is quite debris-free in summer.
So enjoy the twisting, hilly ride through the woods. You won't be disappointed!
Most sections of Beach Drive within the DC city limits are closed on weekends and holidays. Beach drive becomes a two lane bike and pedestrian path with plenty of room for all.
Would not want (and haven't tried) the Beach Drive ride during weekdays with cars.
Follows path of Rock Creek from mouth of creek at Potomac River all the way up to Rockville, MD suburbs.
The trail is mostly shaded and will be nice to visit during the summer months. It is very winding - which was a bit overwhelming at times on a road bike. The path was not crowded, which was very nice - especially since the path is rather narrow at some points (you can always fit traffic going both ways, but I was a little too close for comfort at times).
The signage can be confusing at times - particularly when you are riding northbound toward Lake Needwood. We actually turned around and started heading south without even realizing it (luckily we found our way back to the path without even knowing we had gotten lost!).
Though the whole trail is paved, it can be bumpy for bikers - most of the more serious bikers were riding on the road just next to the path. There are a lot of tree roots that cause the pavement to rise slightly.

PM gives his reasons for CJ decision
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley PHOTO BY SUREASH CHOLAI
THE Prime Minister has given his reasons for choosing not to invoke impeachment proceedings to have a president-appointed tribunal established to consider allegations against Chief Justice Ivor Archie.
Yesterday, Dr Rowley wrote to Law Association president Douglas Mendes, SC, giving his reasons for choosing not to go forward with a Section 137 complaint to President Paula-Mae Weekes. The PM also cleared up claims he was contacted by Archie to help get housing for several people.
At a post-Cabinet briefing last Thursday, Rowley said he received legal advice that he "should not acquiesce to the Law Association's request." He also said he did not take advice from the association and his legal advice also indicated that he should not take the association's advice.
Since then there have been calls from the legal fraternity for him to provide the advice. Mendes had said he intended to write Rowley asking for it. Yesterday, Rowley disclosed that the advice he received came from Howard Stevens, QC, who was also involved when former CJ Satnarine Sharma was impeached.
Rowley said he considered the opinions of the association's counsel – Dr Francis Alexis, QC, and Eamon Courtenay, QC – and told Mendes, "Having done so, I have decided not to make a representation to Her Excellency the President."
In his letter, Rowley addressed each of the complaints against Archie: judicial security arrangements; alleged WhatApp communication with the CJ's alleged friend Dillian Johnson on judges' security; the issue of a police escort for Justice Frank Seepersad; and the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) complaints.
Of the alleged exchange between Archie and Johnson, Rowley pointed out that even if the latter could be interviewed, the reliability of his evidence would be doubtful because of his conviction for forging the signature of a judicial officer.
"There must, therefore, be very considerable doubt as to whether the complaint relating to the disputed WhatsApp exchange (based as it is on an apparently disputed document provided by an unidentified source and being otherwise uncorroborated) between the Chief Justice and Johnson could be substantiated. I consider that I am entitled to, and should, take both the paucity and poor quality of the evidence in this regard into account in considering this complaint.
"Furthermore, whilst if proved, the disputed WhatsApp communication would evidence both that some discussion had taken place between the Chief Justice and Johnson and the Chief Justice and some judges, I also very much doubt whether, without more (and there is no other evidence), it would in any event be considered serious enough to require removal from office," the PM said, adding that the alleged communication did not provide sufficient basis for concluding that the CJ's removal ought to be investigated.
On the police escort for Seepersad, the Prime Minister said there appeared to be some conflict, since the judge claimed he never received a Special Branch draft risk assessment which said a police escort was not recommended for him, and was not consulted when the escort was discontinued.
"I am of the view that it is very difficult to see how this complaint could be found to amount to such serious misbehaviour as to require removal from office, and I have decided that it does not require investigation," Rowley said.
KERN ROMERO ISSUE
On the HDC complaints, in particular that involving another convicted fraudster, Kern Romero, who used Archie's name to fleece several people with the promise of getting them state housing,
Rowley said, "Despite suggestions that Romero used his relationship with the Chief Justice in connection with his fraudulent scheme, there is no suggestion that the Chief Justice permitted Romero to convey to any of his victims the impression that he (Romero) was in a special position to influence the Chief Justice.
Nor is there any evidence that the Chief Justice was aware of Romero's fraudulent activities when any recommendations for housing were made."
He also emphasised that the lack of evidence that Archie was aware of the "criminal proclivities" of either Romero or Johnson "rules out any allegation that he associated, or developed close personal relationships, with persons engaged in criminal activities."
Rowley pointed out that "if the Chief Justice was unaware of their criminal proclivities," there would be no basis for concern that, in forming close personal relationships with them, he had shown a lack of judgment.
He also addressed a separate complaint involving Archie allegedly recommending a number of people to HDC because Romero asked him to.
Rowley said the evidential basis for the complaint was "problematic."
HDC HOUSING
The Prime Minister also addressed the complaints that Archie recommended housing for several people, which also included a claim that the CJ contacted Rowley recommending three people and seeking his assistance.
"I can confirm that there I have not received from the Chief Justice nor have I sent any WhatsApp messages to him regarding HDC housing, nor indeed have I had any communication with the Chief Justice regarding HDC housing. Further I have no records from or to the Chief Justice regarding HDC housing.
"Clearly I cannot ignore this fact, which effectively disposes of this complaint," he said.
And on the complaint of Archie contacting a senior HDC manager to fast-track housing recommendations, Rowley said even if there was contact between Archie and the HDC – which the CJ accepted there was – it did not necessarily follow that it was inappropriate.
Rowley said HDC's policy provided for 25 per cent of available housing to be allocated on the recommendation of the minister in special cases/emergencies.
"It would not necessarily be inappropriate, when recommending an applicant believed to be deserving of special or urgent consideration, to go further than merely putting forward the person's name. Any communications there may have been by the Chief Justice might be justified on this basis, bearing in mind that in his press release he referred specifically to forwarding the names of 'needy and deserving persons,'" the PM said.
"Be that as it may, even if the Chief Justice went further than he ought to have done in relation to any applicant, it is unlikely that it could justify removal from office, at any rate if he did not do so merely at the behest of Romero. He might in such circumstances be criticised for a lack of judgment; but not for such serious misbehaviour as to require removal. I therefore consider that the third HDC complaint stands or falls with the first and second HDC complaints."
In his conclusions on the HDC complaints, Dr Rowley told Mendes he did not consider there was, prima facie, sufficient basis in fact that the CJ acted at the behest of Romero to send the complaint to the President, nor was it any different with any of the other complaints because of a lack of evidence, non-specific hearsay and the paucity and weakness of evidence as well as considerable doubt.
He also suggested some of the alleged Whats App communication could be a fabrication and raised the distinct possibility of someone wanting to falsely implicate Archie.
"The conclusion I have reached in all the circumstances therefore is that the HDC complaints have an insufficient basis in fact to warrant a representation to the President that the Chief Justice's removal ought to be investigated.
"Having considered the various complaints, I have therefore determined that a representation to the President is not warranted," Rowley told Mendes.
STEVENS' ADVICE
In his 20-page advice to the Prime Minister, Stevens went through the complaints and gave his opinions and conclusions. Much of this formed the basis of the PM's letter to Mendes.
He said he came to the conclusion, after accessing the complaints and the evidence presented by the association, that there was" insufficient basis in fact to warrant a representation by the Prime Minister to the President that the Chief Justice's removal ought to be investigated.
"Or put another way,there is not in my view a reasonable possibility (as distinct from a bare or remote possibility) that the complaints could lead to removal of the Chief Justice," he said of the HDC complaints in particular.
He did say if there was WhatsApp communication between Archie and the Prime Minister, his advice would differ and he would want to consider matters further.
"I should add two things for completeness. First, if the Prime Minister decides not to make a representation to the President, I would be pleased to discuss with those instructing me what should be said to the Law Association, Chief Justice and/or others in that regard.
"Secondly, if, on the other hand, despite the conclusions I have reached, the Prime Minister were to be of the view that he should make a representation to the President, the Chief Justice should in my view (notwithstanding the Committee's investigation) first be given an opportunity to respond to the complaints and material considered by the Prime Minister," Stevens said.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is laying the groundwork for many of the the DC Extended Universe's characters to join forces in Justice League: Part One, but it's also foreshadowing a potential villain. You'll remember in the last trailer that there was a brief scene of showing what looked like a swarm of Parademons, the minions of Darkseid. The ruler of Apokolips still hasn't been officially confirmed to appear, but now we have another hint at his involvement in the DC Extended Universe.
Darkseid is one of DC's most dangerous villains. Intent on controlling the whole universe, he's on a mission to conquer all life by erasing free will, and obtaining the Anti-Life Formula. It seems like DC is setting up a Thanos-like situation, by planting hints that will later grow into bigger plotlines. Darkseid would be perfect as the villain for Justice League Part One, as his grandiose, universe-spanning plot would pull in plenty of characters to fight him, laying the groundwork for the Justice League to form.
There are a lot of elements from the history of Batman and Superman in the DC Comics that are already being felt in Batman v Superman. The appearance of a possibly evil or at least alternate version of Superman is something that's been played with a number of times in TV series and comic books, from him playing a dictator as a Justice Lord, to being raised by the all-powerful and very evil Darkseid himself in an "Elseworlds" storyline. We seem to be getting glimpses of a very different Superman in the upcoming film, but it now seems possible that Bruce Wayne's nightmarish hallucinations might either be caused by a blast by one of Darkseid's Omega Beams, or might take place on the villain's Hellish home-world of Apokolips itself.
In the comic arc "Final Crisis", Batman was struck with an Omega Beam (and later teleported via an Omega Sanction) that sent him careening through time; perhaps a similar take will explain his hallucinations in Batman v Superman. Or, maybe Batman's fight against an evil Superman's minions and apparent Parademons (the winged creatures seen here that are in the service of Darkseid) actually takes place on Apokolips. Then again, maybe the apocalyptic vision is simply a vision after all, one that allows Zack Snyder and company to fold in other elements of the DC Comics universe without building an entire movie around them. We've seen it previously in Man of Steel where Superman is buried alive beneath a mountain of skulls, a scene that was quite memorable from the trailers but was only used for dramatic effect within the actual movie.

Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes wholly within the borders of the United States; the others are shared with Canada. It has a surface area of 22,400 square miles (58,016 km²), making it the largest lake entirely within one country by surface area (Lake Baikal, in Russia, is larger by water volume), and the fifth largest lake in the world. It is 307 miles (494 km) long by 118 miles (190 km) wide with a shoreline 1,640 miles (2,633 km) long. The lake's average depth is 279 feet (85 m), while its greatest depth is 923 feet (281 m). It contains a volume of 1,180 cubic miles (4,918 km³) of water. Its surface averages 577 feet (176 m) above sea level, the same as Lake Huron, to which it is connected through the Straits of Mackinac.

Margaret Williams
Margaret Williams was born in Bolton in 1886, she was the second daughter of Jonathan Willams and Mary Hobson.
Upon leaving school, Margaret found employment as a Cotton Spinner at the local mill. Margaret remained at the family home at 10 Antelope Street, Kearsley until she met and married William Hayes a Coal Hewer. They had two chldren together - Joseph and Arthur. Margaret was sadly widowed when the children were quite young. She eventually met and married widower Joseph Little who also had two children.
They set up home in 18 Clifton Street, Clifton close to the Clifton War Memorial. The house they lived in was owned by the local coal mine. The house was at the end of a terrace and the previous occupier was the Mine Manager, so it was quite spacious and had quite a large garden at the rear. In the garden Margaret and Joseph grew their own produce and reared chickens. Joseph delivered coal from the mine locally as well as to the neighbouring towns of Swinton and Pendlebury. To enable him to be able to do this he also kept shire horses which he used to pull his coal cart. The children used to polish the horse brass for the when the horses attended local fetes.
Sadly, the end terraced house where Margaret and Joseph lived is now home to a DIY Superstore.

Q: Reading a Shapefile with ColdFusion I am trying to read a binary file and parse the bytes I have the white paper spec on Shapefiles to know how to parse the file, however I cannot seem to find the correct functions in ColdFusion to handle reading bytes and deciding what to do with them.
<cffile action="READBINARY"
   file="mypath/www/_Dev/tl_2009_25_place.shp"
   variable="infile" >

PDF file with spec:http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf
For example I have the spec:
Position Field Value Type Order
Byte 0 File Code 9994 Integer Big
Byte 4 Unused 0 Integer Big
Byte 8 Unused 0 Integer Big
Byte 12 Unused 0 Integer Big
Byte 16 Unused 0 Integer Big
Byte 20 Unused 0 Integer Big
Byte 24 File Length File Length Integer Big
Byte 28 Version 1000 Integer Little
Byte 32 Shape Type Shape Type Integer Little
Byte 36 Bounding Box Xmin Double Little
Byte 44 Bounding Box Ymin Double Little
Byte 52 Bounding Box Xmax Double Little
Byte 60 Bounding Box Ymax Double Little
Byte 68* Bounding Box Zmin Double Little
Byte 76* Bounding Box Zmax Double Little
Byte 84* Bounding Box Mmin Double Little
Byte 92* Bounding Box Mmax Double Little
If this was just a flat text file i would use mid function to read my positions.
Can this be done in ColdFusion and Which functions can achieve my goal?
I found this function inside of FarStream.as found at http://code.google.com/p/vanrijkom-flashlibs/wiki/SHP which is an Actionscript3 file, but it represents the kind of task i need to do.
private function readHeader(e: ProgressEvent): void {
    // check header:
    if  (!  (   readByte()==0x46
            &&  readByte()==0x41
            &&  readByte()==0x52
            ))
    {
        dispatchEvent(new IOErrorEvent
            ( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR
            , false,false
            , "File is not FAR formatted")
        );
        close();
        return;
    }
    // version:
    vMajor = readByte();
    vMinor = readByte();
    if (vMajor>VMAJOR) {
        dispatchEvent(new IOErrorEvent
            ( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR
            , false,false
            , "Unsupported archive version  (v."+vMajor+"."+vMinor+")")
        );
        close();
        return;
    }
    // table size:
    tableSize = readUnsignedInt();
    // done processing header:
    gotHeader= true;
}

And here is the final solution
<cfset shapeFile = createObject("java","com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ShapeFile").init('/www/_Dev/tl_2009_25_place.shp')>
<cfdump var="#shapeFile.getFileLength()#">

A: <cffile action="READBINARY" file="mypath/www/_Dev/tl_2009_25_place.shp" variable="infile" >
<cfset shapeFile = createObject("java","com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ShapeFile").init(infile)>
<cfdump var="#shapeFile#">

Maybe something like this?

This article is part of a series on the
chief executive and the second highest ranking officer of the government of Australia. The office of Deputy Prime Minister was officially created as a ministerial portfolio in 1968, although the title had been used informally for many years previously. The Deputy Prime Minister is appointed by the Governor-General on the advice of the Prime Minister. When Australia has a Labor Government, the deputy leader of the parliamentary party holds the position of Deputy Prime Minister. When Australia has a Coalition Government , the Coalition Agreement mandates that all Coalition members support the leader of the Liberal Party becoming Prime Minister and mandates that the leader of the National Party be selected as Deputy Prime Minister.[1]
The present office-holder, Michael McCormack, was elected Leader of the National Party on Monday 26 February 2018[2] at a meeting at which the resignations of his predecessor, Barnaby Joyce, became effective.[3][4][5] Joyce resigned following controversies over his actions[3] and returned to the back bench.[6] McCormack was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister later the same day.[7]
The 2017–18 Australian parliamentary eligibility crisis resulted in the position being made vacant for the first time since its official creation. Barnaby Joyce, the then-incumbent, was ruled ineligible to be a member of parliament by the High Court of Australia sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns on 27 October 2017, as he held New Zealand citizenship at the time of his election in contravention of Section 44 of the Constitution of Australia.[8][9] Joyce regained the position on 6 December 2017[10] after he won the by-election for the seat of New England several days earlier.[9]

Liverpool Council hands out 2,000 legal notices, 154 cautions, 89 civil penalty notices and 159 prosecutions
May 9, 2019 | Case Study, Civil Penalty
A council has revealed the squalid conditions its inspectors have found when visiting rental properties as it looks to extend its landlord licensing scheme.
Liverpool City Council has operated a city-wide selective licensing scheme since April 2015 but is now looking to extend it for five years when it expires in March 2020.
Council officials say more rogue landlords have been prosecuted in Liverpool than anywhere else for failing to meet fire, and health and safety standards.
It said 3,000 significant hazards such as damp and mould, excess cold and fire have been identified since launching the scheme, while 2,000 legal notices have been issued, 154 cautions have been granted and 89 civil penalty notices have been handed down.
There have been 159 prosecutions for unlicensed properties, non-compliance of legal notices and breaches of licence conditions.
The new scheme, the council says, would charge £550 for a licence over the five years, or £350 for accredited landlords.
Those who are unlicensed or fail to meet minimum conditions would face prosecution or an unlimited fine of up to £30,000 per offence.

Since the dawn of time and down through the ages, colour has played an important and essential part of life. Joseph had his Technicolor Coat, Robin Hood his hose – a form of trousering, incidentally, and not something you wash the car with – of Lincoln Green and so on. OK, I know these aren't actual proven facts but this is a blog not a history lesson and they make the point. Colour is rife in nature; red, for example, means danger: white stilettos mean something else entirely. Let's not go there.
These days we tend to categorise people and things by colour. Pink for girls and blue for boys is an obvious example, so it is no surprise that car manufacturers now offer their products in a riot of rainbow options for us to choose from. Henry Ford wrote in his autobiography when referring to the Model T that "Any customer can have a car painted any color [sic] that he wants so long as it is black". Thankfully, we've moved on from there.
That's the good news. Now for the bad. The colour of the new car you choose says a lot about you as a person. A red car says you are a daredevil, a bit of a rascal. It makes you want to go fast and, in men, appears to enhance virility. It also stands out like a beacon to the cops. There's even been a suggestion that insurance companies frown upon red for the aforementioned reasons. How about Orange cars? You don't see many of those about, do you? That's because it is the choice of creative and individualistic people, or show-offs as they are known to the rest of us.
Now, a nice yellow car is driven by party loving, fun and bubbly people, so probably not English then, who are the life and soul, like a dandelion in a sea of green. And speaking of green; this is a colour that shows you to be an outdoorsy sort of cove, one who loves the countryside and hugging trees and the like. The green car driver likes to give advice and generally calm and soothe the atmosphere. Note: they may smell a bit of patchouli oil. Call them when you are going camping or trying to assemble a yurt.
Alternatively, black is authoritative. It says that you've arrived as a captain of industry – the boss. You are professional and sophisticated and your choice of new car is likely to be a Beemer and your choice of new wife is likely to be twenty years younger than you. It won't last you know. Never does. People will think you are really awesome, like Lord Sugar or Peter Mandleson. Then there are silver cars. These are generally bought by…..oh sorry, I must have nodded of there for a moment. Silver is a safe colour in the used car market.
So, the choice is yours. How do you want to be seen? What will people think about you when you turn up in your new purple automobile? I don't really mean to make the already difficult task of choosing any harder but you have been warned.

PerDiem x Vinyl Mag: The Future of Music
Posted on December 9, 2015 December 9, 2015 by Chris Hunkele
Over the last decade, the music industry has struggled to provide a reliable way to successfully support independent artists. The traditional method of saving money to make a record, playing a ton of shows and hoping that people buy your music just isn't working. Now more than ever, the market is so saturated with great music that artists often struggle to break even, which is ironic because music is more accessible now than it has ever been. How can an independent artist "make it" in the digital age without signing a long term record deal?
Generally speaking we've stopped pirating our favorite music in favor of subscription based streaming services, only to learn that a small fraction of what we pay for these services is actually returned to the artists. As fans, we have loads of great music at our fingertips but very few ways to support the bands we love. Certainly the resurgence of vintage music mediums like vinyl and cassette tapes have opened new financial avenues for the independent artist, but what if there were a way for fans and artists to be more intimately connected?
Enter PerDiem, a crowdfunded music investment platform that is looking to breathe new life into the music industry.
Quite simply, PerDiem is an online platform that allows fans to act as record producers. By purchasing shares, PerDiem allows the public to invest in the success of their favorite artists.
An artist determines how much money they need for their new project, i.e. making a new record or going on tour. Then the artist chooses a percentage of the money raised to give back to their investors. Finally, the artist asks fans to help them reach their financial goal by purchasing shares. As revenue from the project grows, the percentage set by the artist is returned to the project's investors based on how many shares they've purchased.
In this model, an artist's success is directly tied to the fan's ability to promote their music. The more an investor promotes an artist, the more money that artist makes, meaning more money finds its way into the pockets of its investors. This model creates incentive for people to put their money into music while bringing fans closer than ever before to their favorite musicians, making PerDiem a potential game changer for independent artists.
Ahead of their Athens launch party last Friday, we got to ask founder Brandon Nelson a few questions about his vision.
Vinyl Mag: What made you want to start PerDiem?
Brandon Nelson: I was working in the music industry and saw bands having to work full time jobs and move in with their parents so they could simply afford to live. I watched bands not be able to release songs they loved because they wouldn't sell or make it on the radio. I decided to leave the music industry because it was sad to see this happening. A few months later I was floating this idea of investing in music to a few friends and people started getting excited about it. Before I knew, I had people wanting to build out the platform and artists wanting to launch their music on it. It was like people were sort of forcing me to make it happen. Every time I would tell artists about the idea they would tell me "you have to do this". Seeing how much of an impact music can have on people's lives and the potential for this to make a difference, I knew that I had to do it.
VM: How is PerDiem different from other crowdfunding platforms?
BN: If an artist raises money on a traditional crowdfunding platform, the people are either "donating to" or "pre-ordering" their music. With PerDiem, you are actually investing in the music. So when revenue is generated from that music, part of the sales go back to the people who invested in it. We are able to do this by distributing the music and managing all of the technical stuff for the artists. This way artists can focus on just making the music and having a team of people who have a vested interest in making that music successful.
VM: Is PerDiem open and available to every band or artist, or are there criteria for gaining approval to start a campaign? Would PerDiem ever deny a band's request to start a campaign?
BN: We welcome any artists to the platform! We work with the artists to make sure they fully understand the platform and are set up for success. It's still early on so we are determining the best way to go about adding artists to it so that investors are protected, but we will never deny an artist based on genre or style.
VM: Is there a certain amount an artist must raise in order for the campaign to move to the next stage?
BN: Yes, an artist sets how much they are raising and must reach that goal in order to receive the funds.
VM: So my band wants to fund a record or raise money for our upcoming tour. What is the process for starting a PerDiem campaign?
BN: Go to the website (www.perdiem.rocks) and submit your information! We will reach out and get to know you a little better and walk you through everything.
VM: Like any good independent band, we have an entrepreneurial spirit. Can we use PerDiem to buy merchandise, fix our van, or get a new tattoo?
BN: Totally. There has to be an incentive for people to invest money into your band, so that would be tied to a song or album that you are creating. For example, you want to raise $20k to produce an album, you can use that money to fix your van, get a tattoo, and buy some merchandise – as long as you are able to produce the record with the money that you raised.
VM: What if the record doesn't get made, or never gets distributed? What happens to the money that was pledged?
BN: There is always a risk when investing in anything. There is a chance that something could happen where they use the money and are unable to produce a record at all. As an investor, you are giving your money to an artist that you believe in to give them a shot at their dream. That is why it's important to only invest in artists that you truly believe in. We try to make this very clear in our "Trust & Safety" part of the site.
VM: A band I love is on PerDiem and I want to help them make a record. How do I get involved?
BN: If you want to invest in a band you simply go to the artists page, select how many shares you want, and buy them. All of the information on how much they are raising, what they are raising it for, and how much they are giving back is all hosted on their page.
VM: The band is going to pay me a percentage of revenue from record sales?! Cool! So… how do I get my money?
BN: When a fan wants to "cash out", we'll deposit the value of those shares into your bank account. We are building out a much more comprehensive platform so this process may change a bit in the future to make it easier and more streamlined.
VM: This could be a game changer for the music industry. I see it not only as a way for fans to fund their favorite bands, but also as an opportunity for a fan or group of fans to essentially become an independent record producer. Have you thought about that at all?
BN: Absolutely. The amazing part of the platform is that it turns your fans into your marketing team. I see investors wanting to use their resources and talents to help the bands they are invested in. For example, a videographer could film a music video for a band they invested in, or someone with a recording studio could offer studio time to artists they have invested in as well. It creates an entire new industry of opportunity around music. I always have this dream of an inner city kid taking his $10 and investing it into an artist that he believes in. Then that $10 turns into $20, then $100, etc.. Next thing you know, he is a music curator that people look at to find new bands and he is making a living by finding good music. The possibilities are exciting!
VM: Why stop at records, tours, and merch? In theory, PerDiem could be used to fund things like festivals, benefits, or even music venues where a percentage of proceeds from the events are returned to its investors. Would you want your platform to be used in such a way?
BN: We actually get that question a lot and it's definitely something that we are interested in. Right now we are focused on fixing what we believe is the biggest problem in the music industry, then using what we have learned to expand into other areas where there is a demand for it. We have a pretty big vision for PerDiem so I wouldn't be surprised to see it expanding into other areas in the future.
VM: When is it going live and how many artists do you have lined up?
We did a test run with a couple artists to see how people would interact with the concept. In just a few days an artist named Nico Blue raised $1,000 to produce his first original single. So we know that people are willing to invest in music and use the platform. We've got some exciting artists in the pipeline and an incredible group of people supporting us. We're planning to add more artists over the next couple of weeks and continue to build it into a platform that can support the next generation of music.

And remember, there was no three-point shot back then.
Maravich spent much of his high school career at Raleigh Broughton, starring for the team while Press coached N.C. State. At one point, it seemed a near-certainty that Pete would join Press with the Wolfpack.
But the two Maraviches instead moved to LSU, for Pete reportedly did not have the required SAT score to attend an ACC school at the time. Thus, hoops fans in North Carolina rarely got a chance to see one of the most remarkable college basketball players ever.
But that day in 1969 – exactly five months after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon – was an exception. A crowd of 7,282 filled about three-fourths of the original Charlotte Coliseum – built in 1955, and now called Bojangles' Coliseum – to watch Maravich against Clemson.
Maravich made a respectable 43.8 percent of his shots in college. But that night he shot the best percentage of his 83-game college career. He made 22 of 30 shots from the field (73.3 percent).
Yet after the game, the 6-foot-5 guard said he wasn't pleased with his performance.
"I don't think I really played that well," Maravich told The Charlotte Observer.
Maravich added nine assists and six rebounds against Clemson. But he also had 11 turnovers, and threw one pass that particularly upset him.
Maravich went on to a superb 10-year pro career. Although he never won an NBA championship, he was voted a five-time NBA all-star, averaged 24.2 points per game and was elected to basketball's hall of fame in 1987.
At age 40, in 1988, Maravich died of a heart attack while playing a game of pickup basketball in California.

Previous August 24: RISE Summer Fiesta!


Mexicans are generally known for their warmth and sense of humor. Perhaps it's your first time out of the country, or maybe just your first time in Mexico, but you'll fall in love with the hospitality and pleasant nature of your welcoming hosts. Getting out and interacting with other people is always an enriching aspect of your life. To do so in a foreign country out of your comfort zone, even more so. Especially in Mexico, where the warmth and hospitality you receive is as authentic as it is endearing.
Get out and explore. From ancient ruins like those in Chichen Itza to the stunning beaches of Tulum and Akumal, from the tropical rainforests and desert plains to Mexico's mesmerizing land and seascapes, the natural attractions in this country are as astonishing as they are diverse.
Don't limit yourself to all-inclusives. Sights, sounds, smells, colors, laughter, landscapes and much more are and just waiting to be explored.
Try and speak some Spanish.
Disconnect. you're on vacation for a reason: to unwind, relax, experience new people and things, and to disconnect from your daily routine. Do it. It's refreshing for both mind and spirit.
Try the Food. Mexican cuisine is much different and much more complex than what you probably expect.

IFTA seeks new director
May 1st 2009 Issue
Volatile prices	Sweet cherry rootstock traits
Susan Pheasant to leave in the fall.
The International Fruit Tree Association is seeking a new executive director to succeed Dr. Susan Pheasant when she leaves in September.
Pheasant was appointed to the half-time position on a contract basis in 2004 after the retirement of Dr. Bruce Barritt, who served as education director, and Charlie and Paulette Ax, the association's business managers. She has been responsible for both the education and business aspects of the organization.
After leaving the IFTA, she plans to focus on building her own consulting business, Pheasant Projects, which is based in Wenatchee, Washington, she announced in April. In particular, she plans to organize and lead educational tours for fruit and vegetable growers.
IFTA President Larry Lutz of Nova Scotia, Canada, said the association would start recruiting a new executive director immediately with the aim of having a successor in place by the fall.
The job will remain the same, but he said the association would consider appointing an entity to do the work rather than one person. "We're really open to different arrangements," he said.
The IFTA's summer tour to Nova Scotia, August 2–5, will go ahead as planned, but the association will not sponsor a study tour to Chile and Argentina that had been tentatively planned to coincide with the International Society of Horticultural Science's cherry symposium in November. Pheasant said she hopes to organize a similar tour in conjunction with horticulturists in Chile.
The IFTA's 2010 annual conference will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in February, and a summer tour will be held in New York. The 2011 conference will be in Washington State. Lutz said the association plans to hold the 2012 conference in Europe. Although the association has no current plans for additional study tours, Lutz said the association would look at the possibilities after the new executive director is in place.
Lutz new president
Lutz, who is vice president of agricultural services for the Scotian Gold Cooperative Limited, was elected president of IFTA at the annual meeting
in Germany in February. He is a fifth-generation orchardist with 50 acres of high-density apples and peaches and a nursery tree operation.
Maurice "Mo" Tougas of Northborough, Massachusetts, was elected vice president. He and his family grow more than 20 varieties of apples, along with peaches, blueberries, brambles, pumpkins, plums, and cherries, and operate the Tougas Family Farm Kitchen and Bakery. Tougas is a director of the Massachusetts Fruit Growers Association.
Dr. Terence Robinson, a fruit physiologist at Cornell University, New York, was elected to the board for a three-year term. Re-elected to the board for three-year terms were Neal Manly of Washington; Bill Stevenson of Quebec, Canada; Trever Meachum of Michigan; and Sam DiMaria of British Columbia, Canada.
Also serving on the board are Howard Albano of California; Bob Black of Maryland; Dan Boyer of Pennsylvania; Tim Dahle of Oregon; Garry Langford of Tasmania, Australia; Paul Simmons of Ohio; Michael Weber of Langenargen, Germany; and Ed Wittenbach of Michigan.

The last post vanished into the electronic ether, so I'll re-post. Are there people here who live in Northern Ireland? Do you think the peak will hit us any differently than it will the mainland? What do you think the future holds for NI, specifically?
Hi Greenbean (again). I live near Carryduff. I think N Ireland will be a reasonable place to live during the PowerDown. We are pragmatic people with plenty of initiative and not too densely populated, with plenty of small farmers. PO will be a shock to 99% of the population, but I don't think we will see the die-offs that could occur in more densely populated regions / cities.
We will of course become more regional and on the periphery of the UK, but this may not be a bad thing. Our winters are mild and we get loads of rain so this should help re growing food.
I agree with you more or less. It will be interesting to see what PO will do to the orange/green conflict. I imagine it will only make it worse. Each side will find some way to blame the other.
Global warming could cause problems, making summers hotter and winters harsher. It's already beginning. Lets hope the ice caps don't melt, I seem to remember seeing a picture of the world if they did - Ireland was completely submerged. I think.
If PO hits hard (as I expect) then I would think the Orange / Green conflict will disappear. It is pretty cosmetic really compared to getting food and water and personal survival.
Global warming has had no real effect on N Ireland to date. Winters might get slightly milder and summers slightly warmer - a good thing I would think.
The ice caps would take thousands of years to melt even if the climate warmed enough for that to occur. I don't expect the climate to warm anywhere near that amount. Even Greenland would take about 3000 years to melt if the climate kept warming. If sea levels rose considerably then Belfast would be in difficulty as it is very low. I live at 140m asl - so it would take one hell of a lot of melting to cause me a problem!
The biggest risk to N Ireland from climate is if the Gulf Stream stopped or changed direction. This would give us a much colder 5 month Winter with snow on the ground and a short Spring and Autumn. It would take a lot of adjusting too!
I disagree about the divisions disappearing. I think peak oil would only make them worse. People always want someone else to blame, and when life is hard, tolerance and acceptance become scarce.
I think if it was a case of everyone suffering or people getting on with life and helping eachother, people will help eachother, as that means they also help themselves.
What does it matter where you live ? Climate change - in the political sense - is already approaching . Is it true that reading the wrong things can be punished with prison soon ? Ireland and GB have the highest illiteracy rate in Europe , how much worse will it get ?
Sea levels are rising by 3mm per year .That's a world wide phenomena . The ice on the pole caps won't be there anymore in a few decades. How does one dye nettle fabrics orange ?
We will manage I suppose . Stupid and with the sword .
Hello heinbloed - thanks for your input.
I can't agree with your statement regarding the ice on the pole caps not being there in a few decades. I don't know any scientists who don't think they will be there in a thousand years.... Greenland is expected to take a few thousand years to melt if the current global warming continues. The Antarctic is a massive continent of ice and would take much longer to melt.
We are actually overdue our next plunge into ice-age conditions again, so in my opinion we are likely to experience extreme cold before the poles really melt. But this will be well after you and I are gone.
Sorry my opinions seem so opposite to yours, but I have looked into climatology a bit.
I have only known about Peak Oil for about 9 months or so and living in NI I've naturally often wondered how it might impact here - good to see others have thought about it to.
Of course, having said that - I'd rather be here than somewhere like London or New York!
Just wondering what is going on in N.Ireland?
This forum seems to be a little quiet right now.
Green Living Fair at Castle Espie, near Comber next weekend - 16th and 17th September. Not normally my kind of thing but there will be some renewable energy stuff there.
Sat 11am - they are playing End of Suburbia.
5pm Film The Power of Community - how Cuba survived Peak Oil.
Thanks for that... will investigate.
Sounds as if this could be an interesting weekend. Thanks for the info.
Well we hope to be there Sat morning.
Apparently if you arrive by bike you get in free!
So I'm hoping our tandem will be back on the road before then (power assisted pedalling you understand .... ie he is fitter than me!) Otherwise we'll have to leave in very good time for me to get there entirely under my own steam!
Here's a link to the programme for the weekend.
We will hopefully get there on the Sunday, definately not by bike or I would need to leave soon. Things like this do highlight the woeful public transport system in our neck of the woods.

Preparing for voice search: A case study
by Paul Norris
There's been a lot of talk in the industry in the past year about a 'voice search revolution', and given the increasing sophistication of voice-assisted technology and smart speakers, it feels like the revolution is edging closer.
Particularly, this trend changes the way people are searching, and the amount of users searching this way is only set to increase. Our Director of SEO Meghan Burton, details here four steps brands should be taking now to prepare for this shift. But how does this look as a real-life example?
In the below video, I talk through how we prepared our client Anglian Home Improvements for the rise in voice search, enabling them to become the best voice search answer for highly-relevant search queries.
Let's look at the stats. Research by Mindshare shows that 60% of smartphone users have used voice search, and 62% of those primarily use it for online search. So how do search engines determine the best result to give back to a voice search user? Well, they use direct answers and featured snippets.
So let's look closer at an example for our client Anglian Home Improvements.
Anglian had three product FAQ areas for Conservatories, Doors, and Windows. All Q&A pages sat on a single page at a single URL; Anglian was answering multiple questions on a single page, which isn't a great user experience, as not all of the questions were that closely related.
If Google's job is to serve up the best answer for the query, why would it rank and serve up a 'catch all' page that doesn't answer any question particularly in-depth?
Our solution was a dedicated product FAQ area, or 'clinics'. The single page clinics were expanded into product specific clinic areas consisting of 39 or more pages.
Each of these clinics now consists of a hub which then links out to a dedicated page per each question and answer, and each answer was expanded - going from under 50 word answers to around 300 or more word answers.
The page templates were created with leveraging featured snippets in mind - the headings and subheadings posed the question, followed by succinct answers.
We gathered information on the most searched for terms from a variety of sources, and optimised the content towards these.
So what was the result?
We saw a huge increase in visibility as a result of this strategy.
Previously, clinic pages averaged one enquiry per month – now they drive 13 enquiries per month, a significant increase considering the intent at this point.
Optimising for featured snippets not only allows Anglian to appear twice on the first page for a result, but it also allows them to become the voice search answer.
Anglian's featured snippets now trigger for a large proportion of queries due to their nature; and it's a totally scalable structure which we can easily adapt and add to, instead of trying to cram more and more Q&A's into a single catch-all page.
So, there you go - a voice search strategy in action, get in touch if you've got any questions on how we can help you prepare for voice search.

Four Arrested In Leesburg After Pursuit
KCSD Press Release – Kosciusko County officers arrested four individuals Tuesday, including two that were located inside a police officer's personal vehicle.
Kosciusko County Sheriff's Deputies, while attempting to stop a vehicle at approximately 12:58 a.m. Tuesday morning, initiated a pursuit northbound into the town of Leesburg on State Road 15. The pursuit continued into the downtown area of Leesburg until the vehicle stopped in the 300 block of East Van Buren Street with all occupants fleeing the scene. Various officers converged into the town, along with a Warsaw K-9 unit, but the suspects were unable to be located.
Shortly before 10 a.m., sheriff's deputies received an anonymous tip regarding one of the occupants, Brady Lee Shepherd, 24, Leesburg, who was taken into custody. Shepherd is currently being held on a failure to appear warrant. K.C.S.D. deputies stated that Shepherd had purportedly slept overnight in the gravel-pit south of town after he had exited the pursuit vehicle.
Officers were then notified at 11 a.m. that a Warsaw police officer had discovered two individuals sleeping in his personal pickup truck, parked next to his police vehicle at his residence. Bruce Kitson Tillman, Jr., 24, Mentone, and Santana Ann Collingsworth, 20, Warsaw, were taken into custody by city, county and state troopers without incident on the east side of Leesburg. Tillman and Collingsworth were arrested and preliminarily charged with resisting/fleeing law enforcement, as well as unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle. They are both currently being held on individual $10,000 bonds at the Kosciusko County Jail.
Information obtained during the apprehensions then led deputies and undercover officers to a location south of Warsaw involving a drug investigation. K.C.S.D. deputies, along with Warsaw Police Narcotic Unit & Kosciusko County Drug Task Force officers arrested Jordan Joseph Schultz, 25, 1634 S. State Road 15, Warsaw, at his residence on multiple charges. Officials from the Department of Child Services were sent to the scene after officers located two children inside the dwelling which contained marijuana and manufactured methamphetamine. Schultz was arrested and preliminarily charged with felony neglect of dependents, possession of methamphetamine, manufacturing methamphetamine, along with an outstanding probation violation warrant. Further investigatory information determined that Schultz had committed a domestic battery in the presences of minors on the previous night involving a female victim. He was additional charged with that offense, along with felony strangulation, and currently is being held on a $4,000 bond.
