~A monster threatens to blow her home away, so its lucky that Jemma is a bit of a witch. ~
A tall tale of epic proportion Dust House and the West Wind is a family saga with, magic, adventure, and love. Featuring artwork by Yenthe Joline, its sure to become a new favorite. Read a chapter below and take a peek at some of the epic artwork.
Check out more of Yenthe's personal work here: http://yenthejoline.tumblr.com
Excerpt from Dust House and the West Wind, by Dalila Caryn:
"Ruth would be called Sotsona, a name from 'our' people. But Papa's people are ours as well. I bare the name he gave me with pride. I am Sarah Anne Smith, so he will know me on his return." From the journals of Sarah Anne Smith, 2nd matron of the Women of Terra.
As soon as Jemma understood the message, the pen peeled itself out of her skin like a scab and fell to the floor. Jemma stared at it, her mind blank. The pen lay in a pile of goo and the bits of rubbery skin it had claimed. Her hand was covered in the same ugly orange goo as the floor. Pa was coming.
When I die, you'll have to be vigilant. Gran's voice stumbled around the empty space in Jemma's mind.
Absently, Jemma rubbed off the goo on the leg of her jeans. She hadn't been vigilant. Hadn't even been wary. In the three months since she buried Gran in the cellar, Jemma had done almost nothing but fly, write and keep herself and Maybell living. Now she would have to do it all, or as much as she could anyway.
Who knew when he would get here. There might not be time enough to do everything Gran said she should. The cellar had to be stocked, as many crops as could be salvaged should be harvested, and the family stones had to be taken out and buried in a perimeter around the house. Then there was the question of whether to move Maybell into the cellar straight away or hope Pa didn't come home in a temper. And Jemma hadn't looked over one of the family tomes in years, and Gran always insisted that reading the tomes was the most important job of all.
You gotta know your history, girl. Good and bad, or you're just another bee drone goin' about your business without a worthwhile thought in your head.
Jemma still felt the knock of Gran's pointer finger as she tapped Jemma's forehead to drive the point home. Apparently, Jemma had an even harder head than Gran realized.
What if Pa showed up in an hour? There was no way she could be finished with even one of the tasks by then. Of course, that would defeat the purpose of a warning altogether. But maybe it came too late. The universe could screw up, couldn't it? It was vague enough that Jemma might never have understood the message; so clearly, it could screw up. But it didn't matter; she had to do whatever she could.
Family stones were the most important thing on the list, and possibly one of the hardest to do, so Jemma would start there. She headed immediately for the cellar on foot. It wasn't something she'd done much of since Gran died. It was much easier to fly. When Gran was alive, she always made Jemma walk.
You can't always count on magic, Jem Beam. You've got to strengthen that leg of yours.
As she limped over to the cellar door, Jemma realized Gran was right. She was much quicker on foot when she'd been exercising every day. She would have to give up flying for a while. Well…maybe not completely.
The cellar floor was soft earth. The same earth that held all their crops. The same soft earth her great, great gran grew the house out of. People always wondered how it was that their farm was so fertile. The most fertile land in Oklahoma. Whatever was planted in this earth grew; despite drought or time of year, everything grew. People called them lucky, blessed, witches. And every once in a while, something worse. But whenever people asked, Gran just shrugged.
"We put everything we love into the earth, so the earth gives us love back," she would say.
And Jemma never said a word. She just stood there smiling secretively at the ground. Gran would turn to Jemma with a bright smile after the people had gone. "It ain't a lie," she'd say before swinging away back into the house.
Gran always seemed to float and sway, like she was dancing when she walked. Or she had, 'til a month before she died; then she started moving slower, haltingly. She'd looked old for the very first time, as if she had simply gone to bed one night vibrant and alive and woken up the next day with one foot in the earth.
Using the stair rail to steady her, Jemma moved between the circle of headstones and sat down on the soft earth before the headstone she'd prepared for Gran.
"It isn't a lie, Gran. I haven't been doing so well with the farm. Not that I was ever much good with that. But I'll do better. You'll see." Jemma looked around the room At the six headstones that stood firm in a circle, all the past matrons of Terra, save one: Sarah, who had died and been buried outside of Oklahoma. "The thing is Gran, Great Gran, Gran Mary, Gran Josephine, Great Aunt Sotsona," Jemma looked cautiously at the oldest of the headstones, the one with the greatest power. "Mother Sisika, seems there's storm weather coming. I'm gonna need a bit of help." Jemma bowed her head for a moment of silence then got to work.
She couldn't move the stones quickly enough without the rest of her flying powder, so leaning forward, she began to dig with her hands. She dug around a spray of pansies that appeared to have sprung up from the ground next to Gran's headstone. After she pulled enough of the dirt away, she ran her fingers under the edge of the flower box planted there and pulled it up. Beneath it, a small tunnel led off, stopping out of sight beneath Gran's grave. A frayed, dirt-crusted rope hung through a small hole in the flower box down into the tunnel. Setting the box aside, Jemma pulled the rope up and out of the tunnel, dragging a corked bottle up along with it.
The bottle was small, fitting into the palm of Jemma's hand. It was made of thick clear glass and had two handles on the sides like a Greek urn. Jemma untied the string from the bottle and ran it back into the tunnel. She replaced the flower box. She may need the hiding place again, so she covered it up just as it had been before.
Once the room was in order, Jemma leaned back and dusted dirt off the bottle. Wouldn't it be wonderful if instead of having to work hard to prepare for the storm, her dusting woke an ancient genie? She dusted a bit harder, rubbed and rubbed and shut her eyes tight, not really believing, but having to at least try.
Nothing happened. Of course not, the let's make your life easier sort of magic never did work. Jemma sighed examining the bottle; there wasn't much powder inside, maybe a quarter of a bottle. She would need to make more before long, but it would be enough for what she needed today.
It's not about the magic, Jemma. It's about being weightless as a bubble and open to going where the wind carries you. The magic is what makes you weightless. But the openness—that's all you, Jem Beam…all you.
Jemma shut her eyes against the memory and the tears. She gave herself exactly seven seconds and shook it off. Uncorking the bottle, she tipped it forward onto her tongue and licked up the powder like a sugar stick. Shaking her head at the bitter aftertaste, Jemma set the bottle aside and got to digging around the headstones.
Novel Synopsis:
A magic farm, a town curse, and a man who can wrestle a force of nature are a bit much for most teenagers to handle. But Jemma is no ordinary girl. She has the attitude of a surly old woman, and a painful limp, courtesy of Black Boot's last brush through Oklahoma, but she's inherited one special family trait: she's a bit of a witch.
Black Boot drags the west wind in his coattails, but he wants more power. He wants Dust House. The home of Jemma's ancestor witches for more than one hundred years, Dust House is blessed land. In the wrong hands its a powerful weapon and the last time Black Boot blew through Unforgiven he left wreckage and blood in his wake. If he succeeds in taking the farm his thirst for power will threaten the entire world.
If she finds the strength to embrace her power Jemma can stop him, protecting her heritage and a town full of people who fear her. But stopping this monster is easier said than done; especially when Jemma's heart wants to forgive him.

Adriatic League advanced stats best and worst teams
Crvena Zvezda won the Adriatic league in dominant fashion. On their way to the top, they bested many teams, which in their right, are worth mentioning for their noteworthy accomplishments. There are other winners. Teams that broke records and were the best in particular statistical categories. A lot of these achievements go unnoticed or pass us by without much pomp and circumstance. Most of them are only appreciated when seen through the lenses of advanced statistics and basketball metrics, something not ordinarily appreciated by the pedestrian basketball fan. Now let's take a look at the Adriatic League advanced stats.
CONTEXT IS KEY
The highest-scoring team may not always be the best offensive team. Some teams prefer to play an up-tempo style of offense, pushing the ball down the floor and running at every opportunity. On the other side of the coin, are teams that like to "milk the clock" and slowly set up their offense in a half-court set. These contrasting playing styles influence the number of possessions in a game and therefore, the opportunities to score, rebound, and compile other statistics.
IT'S ABOUT THE POSSESSIONS
It is fair and balanced criteria to assess teams and what they do on a per-possession basis, as opposed to a per-game filter because they can be compared more evenly, regardless of the pace of the game. The NBA was the first to use these types of advanced basketball stats. Until today no such data was available for the Adriatic League. The Basketball Database website is the first source to introduce it.
LONGEST STREAK IN THE ADRIATIC LEAGUE
Crvena Zvezda stayed undefeated for 20 games in a row in the Adriatic League. Their run came to an end against arch-rivals Partizan, 81-86 on the 5th of February, 2017. Interestingly enough, Partizan was the Adriatic League record holder with 20 wins as well. The two teams from Belgrade now tie that record. The longest losing streak belongs to Krka from Novo Mesto in Slovenia with ten games.
BIGGEST DIFFERENCE
The biggest difference between two teams this season was on the 8th of October 2017. On that day Cedevita beat Zadar with 120-62.
TO RUN-AND-GUN OR GRIND IT OUT?
Mega Leks was the fastest team in the Adriatic League this season. They played at the highest pace and used 75.8 possessions per game. The slowest team was Igokea with only 70.6 possessions per game.
MORE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER
While Mega Leks played at the highest pace, it was Cedevita that had the best offense, not because they averaged most points in the league, but because they had the best offensive rating this season. Their offensive rating was 117.5 which means that they scored 117.5 points per-100 possessions. Krka had the worst offensive rating with 101.6. They also averaged the fewest points per game.
ROCK-SOLID DEFENSE
The toughest team to score against in the Adriatic League was Crvena Zvezda. Their stingy defense allowed only 93.6 points per-100 possessions. Zadar had the worst defensive rating. They allowed 115.4 points per 100 possessions.
BUDUCNOST WERE SNIPERS FROM THE FREE-THROW LINE
Buducnost played a robust offense which put them at the free-throw line a lot. They recorded a 39.0 free throw rate. That's the ratio of foul shots to field goal attempts. However, the best True Shooting Percentage belonged to Cedevita (64.2 TS%). True shooting percentage is a measure of shooting efficiency that takes into account field goals, 3-point field goals, and free throws.
CEDEVITA WERE CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARDS
Cedevita grabbed 52.4 % of all available rebounds (rebound percentage). They were closely followed by Crvena Zvezda (52.0). It is also noteworthy that no team crashed the offensive glass like Mega Leks (32.1 % of all available offensive rebounds). The worst rebounding team this season was Karpos Sokoli with an overall rebound percentage of only 45.9.
THE STATISTICAL CLASH BETWEEN CEDEVITA AND CRVENA ZVEZDA
Defense wins championships. At least that's what they say. It held true when it came to Crvena Zvezda and the Adriatic League. Their defense was superior, not only in the Adriatic League but even at the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague level. Crvena Zvezda only allowed 107.4 points per possession, and only the two Greek teams, Olympiacos (108.2) and Panathinaikos (108.6) came close in that category. One can say that Crvena Zvezda had the best defense in Europe this season. Maybe even in the world, with the exception of the NBA and NCAA. In the finals of the Adriatic League Crvena Zvezda faced the best offensive team, Cedevita Zagreb. That team scored the most points per 100 possessions, averaged the most points per game, had the highest True Shooting percentage, were the best rebounding team, and ranked second in free throw rate. But it was not enough. The defense of Crvena Zvezda was simply too much for them to handle. The red and whites also were a rebounding force and had the lowest turnover ratio in the league with 14.3. That means that they turned the ball over only 14.3 times per 100 possessions. At the same time, they also ranked 1st in Assist rate with 20.7% (assists averaged per 100 possessions). The conclusion is simple, Crvena Zvezda has an incredible and dominating defense, was a force in the rebounds category, and played well together as a team with lots of discipline. They simply don't give away anything for free. Can anybody challenge Crvena Zvezda during the upcoming Serbian Championship? Time will tell, but for now, the odds are in their favor as all of the Adriatic League advanced stats point their way.
These are just some of the advanced statistics that we have available. For more, please visit the Basketball Database.

Calgary police warn citizens of organized retail crime risks - people "steal up to $10,000 to $15,000 a day, six or seven days a week"
Calgary police and retail partners have teamed up to warn citizens about the consequences of buying stolen merchandise. Organized retail crime is the theft of consumer goods for the purpose of illegally selling the merchandise for cash.
Constable Andrew Critchley said it's a growing problem in Calgary and the country. It costs Canadian retailers an estimated $4.6 billion a year and goods are usually taken through systematic shoplifting, sold online or on the black market. Along with their retail partners, London Drugs, Loblaws, TJX Canada and Mark's, as well as Crime Stoppers and RetailCOP, CPS has launched a radio and transit campaign to address the issue.
We have identified people that can steal up to $10,000 to $15,000 a day, six or seven days a week."
The general manager of loss prevention with London Drugs says higher prices are only one consequence. "It's not just a matter of dollars though," Tony Hunt said.
"Organized retail theft impacts the safety and security of our employees and of the public. Often incidents involve some type of threat or violence to staff. The stolen merchandise these criminals steal and traffic is often stored in poor conditions and when resold can pose a health risk to unsuspecting consumers," he said.
Loss Prevention Jobs Booming in Canada - Talent Shortage?
Echoing the sentiments of the Canadian trucking industry, CTV's W5 recently aired a three-part special report on cargo crime and how the growing problem is affecting carriers and consumers alike.
W5 featured CTA President David Bradley, who said cargo theft is one of the most lucrative criminal activities in Canada. It rarely makes headlines, yet it's costing consumers and the economy an estimated $5 billion a year.
"A decade or so ago, it was probably a more opportunistic crime," Bradley told W5. "But what I think has occurred is that organized crime syndicates have seen that it's relatively low risk, high reward, and there seems to be a market for just about anything somewhere in the world."

That includes motor oil, paints, solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, and cleaning agents. Electronics and batteries are also banned. If something presents an environmental risk, you likely cannot put it in a dumpster. Contact your rental company if you are uncertain.
Certain forms of okay debris, nevertheless, may require additional fees. If your plan is to throw away used tires, mattresses, or appliances, you need to request the rental company whether you have to pay an additional fee. Adding these to your dumpster may cost anywhere from $25 to $100, determined by the item.
If you rent a 30 yard dumpster, you will be receiving a container which will hold 30 cubic yards of waste or debris. Your 30 yard container will measure about 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 6 feet high. These numbers could vary somewhat determined by the dumpster rental business in 90853 you choose. A 30 yard dumpster will hold between 9 and 15 pickup truck loads of waste, therefore itis a great option for whole-house residential cleanouts in addition to commercial cleaning jobs.

Fox analysis of Baruch convictions for Kenny Kwan, Raymond Lam, Charles Lai and Sheldon Wong
No Comments on Fox analysis of Baruch convictions for Kenny Kwan, Raymond Lam, Charles Lai and Sheldon Wong
Fox on hazing convictions http://fox43.com/2018/01/09/fraternity-banned-from-pennsylvania-for-pledges-hazing-death/
Kenny Kwan, Raymond Lam, Charles Lai and Sheldon Wong were also sentenced Monday for their involvement. Kwan was sentenced to 12 to 24 months in prison, Lam and Wong received 10 to 24 months, and Lai received 342 days to 24 months.
WNEP reported Lai received time served for his sentence. Each defendant will have seven years probation following their time in prison.
In a victim impact statement, Deng's mother said her son's death feels "like there's a cat clawing and scratching at my heart."
"Since he left," Mary Liu Deng wrote, "the lines between real life and a dream are blurred." She described her son as a "kind, generous, loving person," even when he was a child.
"Now Michael is gone and I cannot understand why," she wrote. "Why would other young men like Michael not value his life like he did theirs? Why would they tackle him and not take care of him? Why did they do this to him?"
"Based on the verdict, I think it's an appropriate sentence," Wes Niemoczysnki, an attorney for Pi Delta Psi, told WNEP, adding that the fraternity will appeal the verdict.
"There can be no question that the death of Michael Deng was tragic," said Todd Greenberg, an attorney for Lam, on Sunday.
"To a lesser extent it's also a tragedy for Mr. Lam and the other young men. They never intended for this to happen," he said, adding Lam had been "guilt ridden for his conduct since the day it happened."
An attorney for Wong told CNN on Sunday, "Sheldon remains, and will always be, deeply saddened and devastated by Michael Deng's death."
Lawyers for the two other individuals could not be reached for comment.
Courts taking harder look at hazing cases
Some experts believe the prosecution and subsequent outcome of the Deng case is a signal that courts are taking a tougher stance on hazing deaths than they have in the past.
Hank Nuwer, a professor at Franklin College in Indiana and a journalist who has been writing about and tracking hazing deaths for decades, described the fraternity's sentence as "groundbreaking."
"I think it's one of the toughest ever," he told CNN on Monday.
"It's sending a definite message," he continued. "It's sending a message that (national fraternities) are considered — by this court and by the judge — to be accountable when one of their pledges are killed."
Nuwer previously said the verdict against Pi Delta Psi and the court's handling of the case showed "huge changes" from when he first started tracking hazing deaths and the criminal proceedings around them in the 1970s.
"Judges are taking it more seriously," Nuwer said Sunday, adding that lawyers who didn't know how to bring a case against fraternities in the past now have greater understanding of how to handle such cases.

Brad Paisley, Dustin Lynch, Chase Bryant, and Lindsay Ell Shred their Way Through Nashville
Amy Wolff April 10, 2018
Brad Paisley brought his Weekend Warrior World Tour to his hometown of Nashville's packed out Bridgestone Arena on Friday Night (April 6th), also featuring Dustin Lynch, Chase Bryant, and Lindsay Ell. The Weekend Warrior Tour showcases some of the best guitar talent within the country music community including Brad Paisley, Chase Bryant, and Lindsay Ell, Not to mentioned Dustin Lynch's incredible vocal abilities.
Lindsey Ell delivered an unfortunately short set, with a rockin' performance and flawless shredding abilities showcasing her guitar talent whilst showcasing it even more during her incredible solos. Ell thanked the packed arena crowd for making her single "Criminal" her first song to make the top 25 on country music radio. Next, was guitar solo extraordinaire, Chase Bryant, Bryant shredding through his 6-song performance with little to no breaks between solos while he perfectly matched his guitar solos with amazing vocals to blend the two together.
Dustin Lynch acting as direct support on the bill, showing his appreciate to Nashville and thankful for the opportunity to perform at an arena that he has come to see his favorite artists throughout the years and now he finally gets the opportunity to showcase his talents on that same stage. Although, he sadly only got to perform nine songs at this show, he played almost all of his fan favorite country radio smash hits including "Small Town Boy," "Seein' Red," "Where It's At," "Mind Reader," and of course "Hell Of A Night."
Brad Paisley brought his exceptional guitar talents to the stage, along with that he brought his humorous side with him during his performance. His fan interactions are impeccable and a force to be reckoned with, as he even gave away a guitar to a young girl in the front row, singing Happy Birthday, to bringing out soldiers onstage to thank them for their service that he appreciates a lot. He shredded through his catalog of smash hits, even including some collaborations with the support acts on the bill. Dustin Lynch Surprised Paisley with a baby goat during his encore performance of "Alcohol," in which Lynch gifted Paisley a goat as Lynch said Paisley is the "Greatest Of All Time in country music." The Weekend Warrior tour continues in the United States through August and you can check out exclusive photos from the performance below.

English cinematographer and director (1940-) (Wikipedia entry)
Hummingbird (aka Redemption, 2013)
FILM REVIEW || Seen at home (Blu-ray), London, Wednesday 2 July 2014 || My Rating likeable
© Lionsgate
I think it's fair to say that Jason Statham has carved himself out a fruitful corner of the action film genre and his oeuvre already incorporates a number of familiar elements. It was said upon Hummingbird's release that it marked something of a departure, a more serious actorly turn for this most unchallenging of screen presences. Indeed, there is a bit of subtlety to his backstory as a former soldier in Afghanistan who is scarred by some enigmatic (and ultimately, never fully satisfying) event in his past. Yet, there's also plenty to link it to Statham's already burgeoning filmography. There are the revenge plot elements (he has the most perfunctorily set-up relationship with a young woman at the start and we have to endure that peculiarly reprehensible trope of character-building: a woman dying to further a male lead's emotional depth) and there's even a young daughter (it's always a young daughter or daughter-surrogate in his films) with whose mother he clearly has a very strained relationship. However, I don't mean to denigrate the film's evident strengths, which are mostly expressed through the central relationship between Statham's character Joey — initially seen as a homeless outdoor sleeper in London's Soho — and a Polish nun, Sister Cristina, who works at a Covent Garden soup kitchen. It strains credulity at times (though not as much as the plot contrivance which sees Joey gain unrestricted access to a swanky Covent Garden loft apartment for nine months), but the relationship between this unlikely couple is even touching at times. Statham continues to make enjoyably silly action films, but there's hope yet for some extension to his actorly range.

National media will investigate carriers
and contractors in "Cell Tower Deaths"
UPDATE: Frontline has unexpectedly rescheduled their program investigating tower deaths in America. They could not provide a date for a future airing. See: Frontline
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
February 15, 2012 - Three years ago, NBC Dateline's "Tower Dogs" trafficked in sensationalism, depicting tower technicians as conflict-ridden, hard drinking workers building out the country's wireless networks.
Last Tuesday, Dirty Jobs by Mike Rowe clearly rehabilitated that image when a tower erection project displayed the exacting procedures and equipment as well as the professionalism needed to perform a quality-driven safe installation.
But information is limited about the direction where PBS's Frontline and web-based ProPublica will take America on February 21 in their joint investigation, provocatively titled "Cell Tower Deaths".
Information in their promotional trailer identifies that, according to their interviews and research:
• Independent contractors who are building and servicing America's cellular infrastructure are 10 times more likely than an average construction worker to die on the job;
• Complex layers of subcontracting insulate the carriers against liability, despite the fact that they set the aggressive schedule that can force subcontractors to cut corners in order to meet deadlines, and those ambitious timeframes may be one of the reasons why workers are dying;
• A contractor can be cited by OSHA after a fatality and be given a minimal fine;
• There is a hidden cost that comes with the demand for better and faster cell phone service.
Training certifications and turfing firms might be explored
Industry managers interviewed for the joint investigation by the two non-profit media organizations have informed Wireless Estimator that the inquiry into industry fatalities might also explore training certifications and turfing contractors, based upon the questions they were asked.
The National Association of Tower Erectors' leadership has been aware of the ongoing investigation and a number of its directors are hopeful that the investigation will provide a positive effect upon the industry.
The upcoming Frontline program became a frequent topic of conversation at NATE's 17th annual conference in San Antonio, Tex. last week.
An executive with one of the nation's largest tower owners welcomed the national focus upon tower technician safety, stating, "If anyone gets a black eye out of this, it will get them back into fighting shape so that it doesn't happen again."
OSHA Assistant Area Director Raul Carrillo of the San Antonio District Office said he would be watching the Frontline piece when it airs next Tuesday. "It sounds like it might be interesting. I'm going to let my associates know about this as well," he said.
Carrier wants contractors to observe 100% media crawl protection
Providing a link to Frontline's promotional trailer, a turfing vendor said AT&T was apprehensive about the upcoming investigation and cautioned its contractors to avoid any media contact.
"AT&T is concerned that a Frontline investigation is being conducted to provide information for a program they will run later in February," a Black & Veatch Corporation turf director informed the firm's contractors on February 8 in an email.
The director cautioned that contractor employees should not provide any specific detailed information regarding their work or for whom they are working to any third party.
Contractors were warned that they should not allow their actions on site to be recorded on camera.
A media spokesperson for AT&T declined to comment upon the Frontline investigation or their vendor's request to their contractors.
AT&T relies primarily upon turfing firms to build out and maintain their mobile network such as Bechtel Corporation, Ericsson, NSORO, Goodman Networks and others.
Upon acceptance of their proposal, each site development management company is provided a geographical area identified by AT&T as their "turf".
Contractors working for the turfing companies have oftentimes complained that the large development companies will take a hefty percentage off the driver prices that AT&T provides them for project management, making it difficult to maintain profitability with an AT&T project.
Wireless Estimator has identified that the amount can be up to 45% or more.
NATE requests its members to join them on the sidelines
The NATE Board of Directors issued a news release yesterday stating that it was aware of Frontline's segment and was awaiting the full airing as well as ProPublica's articles before responding to any questions from the media.
According to Chairman Jim Coleman, NATE declined being interviewed "due to the nature of the questions provided by Frontline and ProPublica."
They did, however, provide a statement to both media outlets regarding the trade group's focus on industry safety and NATE's role in empowering members with tools to enhance their own safety programs.
"While we await the airing of the PBS Frontline segment and related ProPublica articles next week, we strongly urge our membership to reserve any comments to customers and vendors about the program until we get a better understanding of its content and message," Coleman said.
NATE also cautioned its members that any response they offer could be attributed to the entire organization.
"We ask that any opinions you may give are clearly attributed as such and you refer any inquiries involving NATE to the IR [Industry Relations] Committee and our public relations agency," Coleman said in his statement.
Since 2003, there have been 94 fatalities of technicians working on communications sites.
Two media heavyweights partner in fatality research
Although a Wall Street Journal columnist tried to identify whether tower climbers had the most dangerous job in America during 2006 in a 2008 article, and other media have cobbled together articles on tower technician safety, there hasn't been a serious investigation into what is universally recognized as an overly hazardous occupation.
Based upon previous partnerships with ProPublica, Frontline is expected to provide an in depth look at cell tower fatalities and the hidden cost that comes with ambitious deadlines required to build out America's cellular networks, and ProPublica will provide the research for the deep-content industry article.
Ryan Knutson, an associate producer and reporter for the Frontline documentary, said they started peeling back the industry's safety concerns in late 2010, but primarily began working on it since June 2011.
Knutson said that more than 100 people have been interviewed on and off camera. They've read through thousands of pages of documents and shot more than 40 hours of footage for the program.
The reporting effort involved as many as seven people at various points during their investigation, according to Knutson.
Produced at WGBH-TV in Boston, Mass. and distributed through the Public Broadcasting Service, Frontline has been critically acclaimed and has received numerous Emmy Awards since the program debuted in 1983.
ProPublica was a recipient of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting and a 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Investigative Reporting.
The independent, non-profit news site produces investigative journalism in the public interest in conjunction with the nation's leading media.
Known for its legion of links to documents and reporting references for every investigation, ProPublica is led by Paul Steiger, the former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal.
The news organization began publishing in June 2008 and is supported by individuals as well as major organizations such as the Sandler Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, Ford Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Frontline program will also look at people imprisoned for child death cases on evidence that that turned out to be unreliable or wrong. Some PBS programs will be broadcasting the wireless construction industry investigation on February 22. Check your local listings for dates and times for "Cell Tower Deaths".

NGC 5425 est une galaxie spirale située dans la constellation de la Grande Ourse à environ  d'années-lumière de la Voie lactée. NGC 5425 a été découverte par l'astronome américain Lewis Swift en 1884.

La classe de luminosité de NGC 5420 est IV et elle présente une large raie HI. Elle renferme également des régions d'hydrogène ionisé.

À ce jour, huit mesures non basées sur le décalage vers le rouge (redshift) donnent une distance de , ce qui est à l'intérieur des distances calculées en employant la valeur du décalage.

Supernova
La supernova SN 2011ck a été découverte dans NGC 5425 le  par les astronomes amateurs canadien Jack Newton et américain Tim Puckett ainsi que par Zhangwei Jin et Xing Gao. Cette supernova était de type IIP.

Groupe de NGC 5448
Selon A.M. Garcia, la galaxie NGC 5425 fait partie du groupe de NGC 5448. Ce groupe de galaxies compte au moins neuf membres. Les autres galaxies du groupe sont NGC 5377, NGC 5448, NGC 5480, NGC 5481, NGC 5500, NGC 5520, UGC 9056 et UGC 9083.

Selon Abraham Mahtessian, NGC 5425 et NGC 5448 forment une paire de galaxies.

Best CDs of 2017 - BBC Music Mag Awards and me
To discover the one of these six favourite discs I reviewed or rated in 2017 which not quite enough of my fellow jurors were persuaded to shortlist, you'll have to head over to the voting page of the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2018. I'm finally free to divulge a little more about the December day at Editor Olly Condy's home in Bristol when seven of us, plied with cake and home-made membrillo plus plentiful cups of strong coffee, thrashed out our choices - and a very amiable conference it was (the others on the panel were Olly, Reviews Editor Rebecca Franks, Nicholas Anderson, Erica Jeal, Andrew McGregor and Kate Wakeling).
Suffice it to say that of the above, Sean Shibe's first complete solo disc, of British guitar music, Bychkov's recording of Schmidt's Second Symphony and the revelatory Martinů Cantatas on Supraphon won the greatest degree of unanimity among us (my reviews of the latter two should be on the BBCMM website, but the reviews index is patchy and they aren't, yet). I'm also pleased that Alec-Frank Gemmill's enterprise in going flat-out for a CD that wasn't just the usual recital disc - featuring four different period horns, and Alasdair Beatson playing four different period pianos - made the grade.
You are of course free to vote any way you wish, or not at all; these are only my opinions, but I hope a bit more background is helpful. Biggest surprise for me was the electrifying approach of Jean Rondeau - anything but a cool dude in the performances - and Dynastie Bach family harpsichord concertos; since that got its nomination, I can't be too sad that Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque didn't make it too, though I liked her quasi-improvisatory playing just as much.
Instrumental and Chamber were the hardest categories to choose from, overwhelming us with riches; though content with the three nominations in each category, I would have been equally happy with Beatrice Rana's startling Bach Goldberg Variations, up there with Denk and Gould;
another surprise favourite, Shai Wosner's brilliant programming of 'Impromptus', one way forward in recital planning which he shares with fellow pianist Ari Porat;
violinist Daniel Rowland and pianist Natacha Kudritskaya rising to the near-impossible challenges of Enescu's supernatural Third Violin Sonata;
and several quartet discs. I got to know Grieg Quartets played with magical pianissimos where required by a group with whom I was also unfamiliar, the Meccore String Quartet, and another of those imaginatively planned programmes which seem the prerogative of the younger generation comes from the Schumann Quartet(t), linking 'Landscapes' of Haydn, Takemitsu, Bartók and Pärt .
There was an endgame battle for Instrumental because two of us hadn't received Krystian Zimerman's Schubert Sonatas by the day of judgement. Our front-runners pending that included my absolute favourite, Alexander Melnikov's first disc of Prokofiev sonatas (Melnikov was also a top contender with Andreas Staier in very live-wire Schubert piano duets).
Because it's perhaps the finest performance I've ever heard of the Sixth Sonata, and equal first with Richter in the Eighth, I'd put this above Zimerman's Schubert, since he stands alongside quite a few other greats. But still, when I finally heard it, I had to include Zimerman in my final three over Fenella Humphrys' 'Bach to the Future 2' - great playing, but for me there were a couple of duds among the new works. That probably gave Zimerman the edge in the joint final choice. Anyway, Melnikov will be back with Volume Two of his Prokofiev soon, which should give the 2018 panel something to get hold of...
Since this is also about discs which may not be new, but which I discovered in 2017, I have to give an awed salute to pianist Peter Jablonski, whose playing I haven't heard for years and whose fiancee, the vivacious Anastasia Belina, became a new friend last year when we appeared together in a pre-Proms talk.
It would have been my prerogative to simply pass over the discs she sent in silence if there had been nothing special, but they're first rate - I even think I prefer Jablonski's Grieg over Andsnes' (whose Sibelius disc, by the way, nearly reached the Instrumental category, but that was so saturated with good performances this year). Liszt, well, the repertoire isn't so much to my taste, but I can't deny the magisterial diversity of the approach. Wonderful sound from the Japan-based issues, too.
In another hangover from a previous year, having been mesmerised by young Pavel Kolesnikov's selection of Chopin Mazurkas at a lunchtime Prom, I caught up with this disc, which goes right to the top of my Chopin list (or equal first with several, at any rate).
But back to the Awards. Quite a few might-have-beens bit the dust in Orchestral - Paavo Järvi's lithe and clear-lined Strauss Ein Heldenleben and Don Juan just missed the final three by one vote, and Vaughan Williams gave rise to three front-runners - though the fresh kick applied by Andrew Davis to the more Satanic moments of the ballet Job as well as the eerie solos in the Ninth Symphony clinched the chosen one for me. Terje Tønnesen's string-orchestra versions of the Janáček String Quartets may have missed out by being rather hard to categorise, not least because of the excellent adaptation of Tolstoy's The Kreutzer Sonata (inspiration for the First Quartet) so well read - in English AND Norwegian - by Teodor Janson.
Sadly my personal favourite Opera/Vocal disc, Daniel Behle's Schubert Arias, wasn't to a couple of reviewers' taste repertoire-wise, and the period-instrument orchestra is not so highly rated
but I'm delighted Ann Hallenberg's delicious programme of Venetian carnival arias made the list. I'm also glad to have made the acquaintance of Louis Andriessen's Theatre of the World. Those who saw the world premiere production say this audio recording leaves more to the imagination, though I'd love to see a director like Richard Jones tackle its black-comedy apocalypse.
I also fought hard for both Louise Alder's and Nicky Spence's Strauss songs (the last a real surprise, conclusion to the excellent Hyperion series) in the Vocal category, but mezzo Jamie Barton's debut disc was a unanimous choice. There's a vocal personality that just leaps out at you; and that's a necessary virtue when you have over 200 discs to listen to and you can't sit there riveted with a score for every one. The special ones always make you stop what you're doing and listen properly.
Very happy with the Choral choices - as well as the Martinů, they included the best Estonian choir of all, Vox Clamantis, whose acquaintance I made at Tallinn's 2017 Estonian Music Days, in a peerless Pärt programme.
Champion oddity of the year for me, one that actually works, was the Japanese percussionist Kuniko giving a whole new, lugubrious and hypnotic meaning to Bach on the marimba. Don't think that even got reviewed in the BBC Music Mag last year, but if it did, it wasn't on the list.
Is Bach the only composer who can be transferred to just about any instrument? It seems so: another Awards nomination I was sorry not to see reach the final three was the unusual trio of cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile and bass player Edgar Meyer in trio sonatas and other transcriptions; there's some magically deft playing in the more virtuosic passages there.
Needless to say my most serendipitous discovery of 2017, which I've already chronicled here and here, was the wonder of Helmuth Rilling's Bach cantatas.
It was an easy step from charity-shop purchases to the complete set, which will be keeping me company every Sunday and holy day in 2018.
Today's Cantata for the Third Sunday after Epiphany was BWV 111, 'Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh Allzeit', another gem from January 1725. The adoring, adorning pair of winds this two are oboes, dialoguing with violins in thirds around lively choral counterpoint and a terrific busy bass. This opening chorus may be in the minor, but it's all spritely. The cantus firmus hymn is one from 1547 by Albrecht von Brandenburg, who brought Lutherism to his state. Either his was a lopsided face or Cranach the Elder hasn't quite got it right here.
The cantata bursts with a muscular Christianity in the bass aria and a pounding duet for alto and tenor driven by dotted rhythms - not quite charming, and it might be one of the few places in the Rilling set where the voices (Helen Watts and Lutz-Michael Herder) aren't perfectly matched, but the impression remains one of forceful vivacity to fit the 'confident steps' ('behertzten Schritten'). The surprise for me was the twist in the short but expressive soprano recitative before the final chorale, reminding us unexpectedly of that final struggle where death tears the spirit from the body, the deathbed a 'battleground' ('Kampftplatz'). The oboes are back at hand to guide the soloist through this final dark night. Lesson for the day: never take the essence of any cantata for granted until it's all over.
Now, on with that voting.

It would have been fun to be a fly on the wall as you all deliberated. I do often wonder how you (and your compatriots) manage to listen to so much and not feel overwhelmed in trying to make a selection. Is there anything like a sherbet between courses for tired ears?
Just to say, further, that I have been busily queuing up selections you've noted for listening (including BWV 111). I've been searching particularly for piano music as of late, and Jablonski's Grieg is proving just the thing to start my evening right.
You are making me spend money again!!! Thank you...
But on what? Do tell. I suspect it won't be on Bach...
Sue, apologies - for some reason your comments only appeared after I'd responded to Will. We were lucky to be able to spread our listening over three or so months, and I found it mostly refreshing. And the sherbet was the variety. Some, it's true, were non-starters, by which I mean to say I started listening and couldn't believe how disappointing the performance was. Chief one that springs to mind was David Fray's Chopin. It was also hard to get enthusiastic about fine performances of second-rate music (there were two good discs of Glass piano music, for instance, but you can only go so far with that stuff).
Pleased that PJ's Grieg is on Spotify, because I don't think it's easily found otherwise. As for Bach, do prioritise BWV 3 (as mentioned in previous entry) - I think I love its opening chorus the best of all I've heard so far.
Albrecht von Brandenburg is an interesting figure (not to be confused with his cousin of the same name, one of the princes who spent the money from indulgences on a vast scale, a practice which of course inter alia provoked Luther). The Ansbach Albrecht dissolved the Teutonic Knights and in effect snaffled the Order's possessions ( encouraged by Luther !!!!! One has to re- access that man) - and put Prussia on the way to its future grandeur. I would guess that he embraced Protestantism in order to ride roughshod over the Catholic church and the Order and to seize what he could. A tough cookie, and now I learn that he wrote a hymn ! Gosh.
I'm tickled that you seize on the very last point in all that. Tough cookie and rum-looking cove, too. Big figure in the Lutheran world, of course.
John Gardiner said...
I adored the Schmidt when I heard it (via radio) at the Proms - so much so that in my excitement near the end I managed to knock over a full glass of red wine.(Mercifully the damned spot came out...) One of those rare things, an on-the-spot revelation. And how wonderful that Sony released it: some hope for the record industry yet! I enjoyed all of the orchestral choices here, too, but think I'd have had to go for the Schmidt in sheer gratitude. I don't know about you, David, but I think Bychkov a marvellous conductor (that series of WDR Symphony discs on Avie was very good, and I've always loved his Berlin Nutcracker). He's coming back into the spotlight these days, thank heavens.
I'd echo just about everything you say, John - on-the-spot revelation indeed (the Fourth was the symphony everyone touted before this, but that's quite lugubrious). Imagine how intoxicating it was live (especially after the so-so Brahms in the first half). The only thing I'd qualify is that I used to think Bychkov was best when works needed real weight, and that he could sometimes miss air in the music, but that seems to have changed too, and the Proms Khovanshchina was unbelievable in its text-dictated flexibility. The Czech Phil made a great choice, bearing in mind that Hrusa (finest of all the younger generation conductors, methinks) is the heir apparent (he's actually conducting more CPO concerts next season than Bychkov).
So - will it be the CD of the year? I can't remember how that's decided - whether or not we, the jury, have the final say from all the category choices.
Sorry not the Bach but definitely the Martinů, Reformation, Carnevale, and RVW. You are a bad man leading me into temptation.
Money well spent on keeping these deserving labels going in their pursuit of the rich and rare.
I had a chance today to take you up on prioritizing for a listen to BWV 3. (Generally, I must ask your ongoing forgiveness if I am unable to keep up here. I am having to reorder my priorities quite a bit—all to good ends, I hasten to add—and, as you can see from the slow pace of posts over my way, my online activities are well down and will probably stay there for quite a while.) Anyway, the BWV 3 is lovely, and I was interested in your comment about the opening chorus vis-vis Gardiner's statement on the Soprano-alto duet. I can see why Gardiner praises the duet, but I would not put it above the opening chorus which, not least for those oboes, is a stand-out, too. (BTW, should you come over my way, I'd be interested on your thoughts on the Schubert. I am sure it's well known to you, but it was brand new to me, and I was taken with it immediately.)
Intrigued to know whats's been keeping you from your usual high and always thoughtful online activities, especially if it's good, as you say. I assumed you were taking a break from political opposition to the Horror Clown, but maybe you're preparing something on that front.
I think that may well be my favourite opening chorus of any cantata so far. As for the Schubert Fantaisie, I shall - its opening idea is vintage last-year stuff. It launches the Melnikov-Staier duo disc I mentioned briefly above, and I last heard it played, very eloquently, at the Reform Club by Martino Tirimo and Atsuko Kawakami: http://davidnice.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/leonskajas-schubert-cd-gold.html

Movie Review: Wolfwalkers (2020)
jcenno	Movies	 December 6, 2021 November 18, 2021 3 Minutes
TL;DR – a magnificent Irish animated fantasy film about a wolf pack protecting their forest home from human progress, and the coming-of-age story of a young English girl finding her own identity and choosing her own path.
Wolfwalkers can be summarised in one word, stunning. Directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart have created an Irish folklore film that is for adults and children that captures story, visuals, cast and music in a masterful piece of on-screen magic.
Nominated for the 2021 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, the story follows English girl, Robyn, and her pet falcon, Merlyn, as they move to Kilkenny with her father, Bill Goodfellowe. Set in the mid-1600s, the Lord Protector of the Irish town has hired Bill, an expert huntsman, to exterminate all the wolves in the nearby forest so that the lumberjacks can continue with their tree chopping undisturbed. The wolf pack has sought to protect their woodland home from destruction with the help of two wolfwalkers, Moll and Mebh (a mother and daughter duo who are human but can transform into wolves when they fall asleep).
Robyn aspires to be a great hunter like her father, but she encounters barriers in many forms including hostility from the Irish townsfolk (England and Ireland were at war during this period), her father's own fear (he wants her to stay at home and be safe), and eventually the Lord Protector himself who orders she work in the scullery.
Sick of being trapped within the confines of her own home, Robyn sneaks out of town and follows her father into the woods. She hears the bell of a shepherd calling for help as his flock has been set upon by a wolf. With crossbow in hand, Robyn rushes to his aid and is about to fire at the wolf when a sheep bumps her and the arrow goes flying and instead strikes Merlyn. Distraught, Robyn goes back into the woods and finds her falcon miraculously healed. She then falls into one of her father's own traps and is left dangling upside down from a rope snare. Mebh, in wolf form, discovers her and seeks to free her from the trap, but Robyn thinks Mebh is there to eat her and fights back. Though Mebh manages to free her, she accidentally bites Robyn on the arm in the process.
Robyn later discovers she has also become a wolfwalker and learns about the wolf pack's plight. The background theme of industrial progress versus preservation of nature is universal, and Robyn's view of her place and purpose opens as the story progresses. The magical transformation into a wolf is a perfect metaphor for Robyn's mental transformation. Her mind opening up to the complexities of the world and thus coming-of-age as she seeks to help Mebh locate her mother who set out some time ago in wolf form to find a new forest home for the wolf pack to move to but has not returned. This is because Moll has been captured by the Lord Protector and is held in a cage within his castle.
The final act sees the Lord Protector and his soldiers seeking to burn down the forest and rid themselves of the wolves once and for all. Only through the actions of Robyn and the dawning realisation of her father who pieces together his daughter's transformation are the wolfwalkers and the pack saved.
The 2-D animation is sumptuous and the animators at Cartoon Saloon studio have taken great care to fill every frame with loving detail. The visuals are an atmospheric delight as they capture the folklore feel of an Irish tale come to life. Combined with a soundtrack featuring Irish folk music and the song "Running with the Wolves" by Norwegian singer-songwriter, Aurora, the movie is captivating from start to finish.
Great story, great art, great voices, great script, great music… can't really ask for more.

13-Dec-2019 / 07:28 CET/CEST
Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG.
AD-HOC RELEASE
Public disclosure of inside information according to Article 17 para. 1 of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation - MAR)
Delivery Hero SE enters into agreements to acquire shares in, and to build a joint venture with respect to, South-Korean Woowa Brothers Corp. and resolves on a capital increase against contribution-in-kind under the exclusion of subscription rights
Berlin, December 13, 2019 - Today, Delivery Hero SE ("Delivery Hero") agreed on the purchase of shares in, and the establishment of a joint venture in Singapore with the management of, Woowa Brothers Corp. ("Woowa"), operator of South-Korea's largest food delivery platform (the "Transaction"). Woowa's business model combines marketplace (Baemin Service) with own delivery capabilities (Baemin Riders) and includes adjacent services (Baemin Market and Baemin Restaurant Supply).
In connection with the Transaction, Delivery Hero entered into contractual arrangements regarding the purchase of approx. 82% of the shares in Woowa from certain financial investors and certain members of the management of Woowa against both payment in cash and issue of new shares in Delivery Hero at the closing of the Transaction. Certain other shareholders holding approx. 6% of the shares in Woowa may still join the Transaction at the same terms.
Delivery Hero may acquire up to approx. 1% of the shares in Woowa at closing of the Transaction from certain members of the management in Woowa, including the CEO and founder of Woowa, thereafter holding approx. 12% of the shares in Woowa, against payment in cash, and may further acquire their remaining shares over the course of two to four years after closing against issue of new shares in Delivery Hero.
Delivery Hero will contribute all shares acquired from the financial shareholders and the management of Woowa at closing of the Transaction into a Singapore joint venture company. Delivery Hero will jointly incorporate such company with the management of Woowa.
The Transaction values Woowa on a cash free and debt free basis at USD 4.0 billion (EUR 3.6 billion) before certain adjustments. The consideration will consist of up to approx. EUR 1.7 billion in cash and up to approx. EUR 1.9 billion in Delivery Hero new shares.
The relevant value of the new shares in Delivery Hero for both the financial shareholders and the management shareholders is based on the volume weighted average price for the 20 trading days prior to the date of this announcement ("20-day VWAP") of EUR 47.47 and subject to certain adjustments including customary dilution protections. A portion of the share component of the consideration that the financial investors will receive at closing has a guaranteed minimum share price protection, and a small portion of the share component that the management shareholders will receive over the course of two to four years after closing is subject to a full guaranteed share price protection, which protection would be settled in cash.
Based on numbers provided by Woowa, in the financial year ending December 31, 2018, Woowa's Korean business grew revenues by 96% year-on-year to EUR 242 million, with gross merchandise value ("GMV") reaching EUR 4.0 billion, and achieved an EBITDA of EUR 46 million. For the nine months ending September 30, 2019, Woowa's business resulted in approx. 100 million orders, GMV of EUR 4.6 billion and revenues of EUR 301 million, which represents an increase of 58%, 65% and 84% respectively from the previous year.
For purposes of the Transaction, the management board of Delivery Hero, with the approval of the supervisory board of Delivery Hero, has resolved today on a capital increase by way of contribution-in-kind from authorized capital under the exclusion of subscription rights to issue new shares in Delivery Hero at the minimum issue price of EUR 1.00 to fully cover any shares to be potentially required to be issued in connection with the Transaction.
Following closing of the Transaction and implementation of the capital increase, the selling shareholders will receive up to approx. 31.2 million new shares (equaling approx. up to 13.6% of Delivery Hero's shares outstanding following the Transaction) and the management of Woowa will be entitled to receive up to approx. 8.9 million shares (up to approx. 3.9%) (assuming that part of the options under the current Woowa option program will be settled in cash).
Delivery Hero intends to finance the cash component of the consideration for the purchased shares in Woowa through a combination of debt and equity/equity-linked instruments.
The closing of the Transaction is subject to certain conditions such as financing of the cash consideration and regulatory approvals, including merger control clearance by the Korean Fair Trade Commission, and expected to occur in the second half of 2020.

Matt Schaub could be among those to fill in the 49ers' barren quarterback depth chart.
The Falcons backup quarterback could follow offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to the 49ers, who can officially hire Shanahan after Super Bowl LI on Sunday, ESPN reported. Schaub is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
Shanahan will reportedly push to sign Schaub, with whom he has an extensive history. With the Texans, Shanahan was Schaub's quarterbacks coach (2007) and offensive coordinator (2008-09) before they reconnected with the Falcons this season.
Schaub, who will turn 36 in June, would presumably be a backup with the 49ers, although their current quarterback situation doesn't rule out a potential opportunity to compete for the starting spot. Colin Kaepernick will reportedly opt out of the final year of his contract and the 49ers' three other QBs, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder and Thad Lewis, are scheduled to become free agents.
Schaub has made just two starts, thrown 93 passes and played for three teams since 2013, when he lost his starting role to Case Keenum in Houston midway through the season. Schaub surrendered his role after a stretch during which he had an interception returned for a touchdown in an NFL-record four straight games.

In 2009, with Shanahan, Schaub led the NFL in passing yards (4,770) and also had career-highs in touchdown passes (29) and passer rating (98.6).
Schaub, a Pro Bowl selection in 2009 and 2012, ranks 10th among active quarterback in passer rating (89.1), 15th in passing yards (24,867) and 17th in touchdowns (133).

VirtualPBX Company News and Press Releases
VirtualPBX launches "Unbelievable" New Product line of VoIP Hardware as April Fool's Day Gag
Building the success of past April Fool's Day Pranks, the VoIP provider delivers 5 hilarious joke products for telecommunications.
San Jose, California, April 5, 2017 — VirtualPBX has made a habit of delivering VoIP products and networking services that are met with wild reviews. Recently, however, the hosted telecommunications firm introduced a new line of proprietary VoIP hardware products that were more outrageous than usual. Mostly, it seems, due to the fact that they were all entirely made up. As an elaborate April Fool's Day prank the company teased, launched, and now has come clean on the details behind a truly unbelievable line of new products.
"Because we've aligned our product, engineering, and marketing calendars so well, we've identified times of the year when we have the freedom to get a little creative," said Rachel Anderson, VirtualPBX's VP of Design and Marketing.
The creativity of the team involved shines bright with products that, while completely fictitious, mirror the functionality of some of the company's most popular features. Additionally, some of the decision to build these joke products came from the collaboration VirtualPBX has with their customers via their interactive Product Road Map.
Being able to marry the features of desktop VoIP phones to VoIP services has been a challenge for some companies in the past, which is what made the "Tin Cup Phone 5000" (aka, the TCP-5k) such a silly way to highlight the need for a functioning intra-office intercom system. Also, the "Aero One" call transfer system was a simple paper airplane, but it riffed on the importance of an advanced call transfer system like the one that Dash VoIP users rely on. Other features like Follow Me Calling, ACD Queues, and Teleconferencing were also lampooned as part of the Unbelievable Product Launch.
"We're fortunate to be an organization that is in lockstep to the point that we can execute product launches, real or whimsical, in an efficient and repeatable fashion," Anderson added. "These products are a reflection of the cohesion between our teams, the input we constantly receive from our customers, and a healthy dose of our own personality."
Known for launching some of the most heralded products in telecom over the past two years, VirtualPBX employed similar go-to-market tactics to introduce these inane devices. The company's April Fool's Day prank leveraged many of the same processes that are typically reserved for introductions like Dash or the brand-agnostic VPN for VoIP Service, but the likelihood they will garner the same type of industry praise remains to be seen.
About VirtualPBX
VirtualPBX was founded in San Francisco in 1997 and brought some of the first commercially available hosted PBX service to market for small business owners. Born from the advent of the hosted telecom industry and driven by the innovative vision of its founders, VirtualPBX continues to deliver leading edge telephony products for business. Backed by award-winning, local, in-house support teams, VirtualPBX offers an array of services including disaster recovery, network monitoring and optimization, and professional system management.

FXE finished Wednesday at 107.55 tanking $0.64 (-0.59%). This is the biggest single-day loss in over two weeks. Today's close at 107.55 marks the lowest recorded closing price since November 12, 2018. Trading $0.17 higher after the open, the ETF was unable to hold its gains as the bears took control ending the day below its opening price. Ending with a weak close near the low of the day sets a bearish note for the next session.
Wednesday's trading range has been $0.37 (0.34%), that's slightly below the last trading month's daily average range of $0.40. Weekly volatility is also lower, being below the market's average weekly trading range. The longer-term, monthly volatility is currently slightly lower than usual for FXE.
One bearish candlestick pattern matches today's price action, the Black Candle. The last time a Black Candle showed up on Monday, FXE actually gained 0.48% on the following trading day.
Prices are trading close to the key technical support level at 107.47 (S1). Unable to break through the key technical resistance level at 107.83 (R1), the market closed below it after spiking up to 107.91 earlier during the day. The failure to close above the resistance could increase that levels significance going forward.
Crossing below the lower Bollinger Band for the first time since Monday, prices have shown unusually strong downward momentum in the short-term. This might either indicate a potential selling climax after which prices could head back up towards the mean of the Bollinger Bands at 108.68 or signal the beginning of a strong momentum breakout leading to even lower prices.
2018's low at 107.47 is within reach and we might see further downside momentum should FXE break out beyond.
Among the eight market conditions that our pattern recognition engine identified today, the statistics for the Support/Resistance based market condition "Bounced off Technical Resistance R1" stand out. Its common bearish interpretation has been confirmed for FXE. Out of 299 times, FXE closed lower 63.21% of the time on the next trading day after the market condition occurred. The optimal exit for swing trading this condition on the short side has been after 10 trading days, showing a win rate of 54.18% with an average market move of -0.33%.
