It is estimated that there is the number of between 750,000 and 1,000,000 plant species on the world. The 500,000 of them have been identified and named. Around 2000 new flowering plant species are identified and named in each year. The number of plants which have been used for treatment since ancient times shows a steady increase. According to a report released by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of plants used for treatment is estimated to be around 20,000. The studies on medicinal plants and active substances derived from them have increased the interest in these plants in recent years 1, 2, 3. Plant products are generally preferred and used by patients who have chronic medical conditions including cancers (2%), liver diseases (21%), HIV (22%), asthma (24%) and rheumatologic disorders (26%). Many believe that natural treatment methods are harmless. Whereas, many recent scientific studies have pointed out the serious consequences of the side effects of herbal products such as giving other damages to patients who seek solutions to problems such as obesity. Side effects may occur due to misuse of plant products, contamination, and interaction with other plants and medicines. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful when using herbal products 4, 5.
Traditional uses of Medicinal Plants
Herbal drugs (herbal medicine raw materials) can be prepared for use in different ways. The simplest way is to take the drug as it is in powder form. However, in terms of taking it easier and determining the amount taken; Pills, infusions, decoctions and ointments are commonly used methods.
Powder (pulverise)
It is obtained by pestling or milling the plant pieces. The easiest way to use in powder form is to pour the fine powder into half a glass of water and drink the mixture after mixing.
Pill (pilulae)
It is obtained by turning the finely powdered form of drug into pill with the help of excipient. Substances such as honey, sugar group, starch, roasted chickpea flour, gum Arabic, liquorice honey which have no treatment effect should be preferred. Drug powder is pulped with the appropriate excipient material, a rod at suitable length is made by rotating this dough in the palm, the rod is divided into pieces of appropriate size by a knife and each piece is shaped as the pill by rolling. Liquorice powder or talc powder is placed between the pills to prevent them sticking to each other.
It is the most commonly used method in the use of drugs as medicine. Boiling water is poured on the milled plant pieces for preparing the infusion, and the mixture is kept by mixing in a closed container for 5 min. After cooling, it is filtered through fine cheesecloth. The amount of the drug to be used is usually 2 g drug for 100 g water. The quantities are shown as (2%), (5%) or (10%). Infusions are prepared as fresh at every turn. A fine amount of honey or sugar can put into the mixture as a sweetener.
Decoction
Sufficient amount of cold water is poured on the crushed plant pieces for preparing the decoction and heated on a light fire for half an hour by stirring frequently, and it is filtered with fine cheesecloth while hot. The amount of the drug to be used is usually 2 g drug for 100 g water. Different decoction and infusion methods are used for different plants and plant pieces. (A) Drugs containing flower, thin leaf or essential oil: A teaspoon coarsely powdered drug is poured into a water glass, and boiling water is poured on it. It is roofed with cover and left to rest for 5 minutes. At the end of this period, it is filtered by means of cotton. (B) Coarse-grained leaf or soft fruits: a teaspoon plant material is boiled for 1-2 minutes in a container with a glass of water, and left to rest for 5 minutes and then filtered with the help of cotton. (C) Root, bark, hard fruits and seed drugs: A teaspoon coarsely powdered material is boiled for 3-5 minutes in a pot with a cup of water, and left to rest for 5 minutes and finally filtered by means of cotton.
Ointment (Unguenta)
It is a kind of medicine which is made by oils such as saturated fat, oil (olive oil, almond oil), lanolin and vaseline. The substance or substances to be put into the ointment are firstly powdered in the mortar in order to prepare the ointment. It is then crushed with a small amount of liquid oil, and then the excipient substance (usually an equal amount of lanolin and vaseline) is added slowly onto the active substance and thoroughly mixed in the mortar. Ointments are stored in closed containers and cool places 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
The Place of Medicinal Plants in Treatment
The scientific, technological and social development processes and correspondingly the historical development of the concept of health and disease have led to the emergence of mystic, polypharmacy, aetiology, traditional and modern medical practices, respectively. It is frequently encountered to the traces of the early stages of the historical development process of medical practice today. Especially alternative medicines (natural or traditional medicine) and its practices have caused the many different stages of this developmental period to be conveyed to today's societies 12. The fact that chronic diseases are the main cause of disease and death, and that the natural course of these diseases cause the patients and healthcare professionals to engage in different researches from time to time because of the reasons such as not achieving complete success in the known ways of protection and diagnosis. However, difficulties in accessing health services also increase seeking these kinds of searching. For all these reasons, phytotherapy which is one of the alternative medicine practices has become basic subjects of many scientific studies about treatment with plants. Alternative medicine, defined in a variety of terms (complementary, supplemental, and non-traditional) includes treatment practices which are not found in traditional medicine.
Traditional medicine is spreading rapidly in all regions of the developing world and in industrialized countries. It was determined that more than 50% of the population in Europe, North America and other industrialized regions used at least one of complementary or alternative medicine methods. It has been reported that 75% of people with HIV / AIDS especially in San Francisco, London and South Africa use traditional/alternative medicine 8, 9, 10, 11. Although the vast majority of medical practices in the United States are traditional, nearly 70% or 90% of health care services in the world is provided by alternative traditions and practices 13, 14. It was alleged that the term phytotherapy which can be explained as an approach about treating patients by using plants, was firstly mentioned in the journal of "La Presce Medical" by the French physician Henri Len who lived between 1870 and 1953 15. However, we see that plants had been used by every society in every period of history long before this date in order to protect or recover health. The Ninova tablets which are the first written document on this subject and dating from 3.000 years B.C. prove the existence of treatments with herbal and animal drugs in the Sumerian, Akkad and Assyrian civilizations founded in Mesopotamia 14. Rig Veda who is one of the important representatives of Indian medicine developing in parallel with Chinese medicine 16, mentioned about one thousand plants in his studies in 2500s B.C. Eskulap who is one of the important names of Greek medicine, and Hippocrates who are accepted as the basis of modern medicine told about approximately 400 plant products in their books 17, 18. In the period of Islamic civilization, Abu Rayhan who is the author of the book "Kitab-al Saydalafi al Medicine" mentioning 20 therapeutic plants and whose a copy is in the library of Orhan Gazi and Ibn-i Sina and Al Gafini who wrote "The Law of Medicine" which mentions about 800 animal and herbal treatments and which had been accepted as a reference book until the 1650s, released important studies on the field of herbal medicine 19.
Phytotherapy in today and the developments in the chemistry and biochemistry sciences during nineteenth and twentieth century gave a great impetus to the pharmaceutical industry, and thus many medicines were developed to respond to the needs of medicine in the laboratories by adopting the principles of efficiency, harmlessness and quality, as a result of analytical, toxicological, pharmacological and clinical studies 20. The 1/2 of the current medicines are herbal-based, and the active substance to be obtained from the plant in most of these is copied in the laboratory 21. Due to many factors such as medical and economic problems stemming from serious side effects of synthetic drugs in recent years, ecological approaches and acting which increase environmental pollution and whose creators also include the international pharmaceutical industry and threat posed by many chronic diseases that are not yet curable and the idea that naturalness is always effective and free of side effects, herbal treatment have become popular again 22. The most reflective indicators of this popularity are that the increase in sale of herbal medicines in the USA at the level of 59% in 1997 compared to the previous year, the 3 to 5% of patients receive only herbal treatment as basic treatment, the 3.24 billion dollars only in the US and 40 million pounds in the UK are spent for these treatments per year and the confidence of the World Health Organization's personnel in natural treatment at the level of 80% 23. The seven best-selling herbal medicines in the world during the last century are listed below: gingko (retail sale price in large American markets is about $ 150 million dollars), St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum, 140 million dollars), ginseng ($ 96 million) garlic ($ 84 million), echinacea ($ 70 million), saw palmetto ($ 32 million) and cava ($ 17 million) 13, 24. Nonetheless, according to the latest warnings from the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Plans and the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the relationship between cava (Piper methysticum G. Forster) plant and liver injury was determined in three cases of liver transplantation and in a case that resulted in death 25. The main problem at this point is that millions of people trust plants so much, and this unconscious widespread use as a result of this trust can lead to many problems that endanger public health 26. Herbal products are often considered safe because they are natural. But, natural is not always safe. According to herbalists, the use of the unpurified plant reduces the likelihood of side effects due to the ineffectiveness of the substances forming the plant 27. Plants potentially contain many active compounds, and therefore many plants are highly toxic, and the phytotherapy in other complementary treatment modalities carries a much higher risk of side effects and toxicity 28. Very dangerous and fatal side effects caused by the use of plant products have been reported. These side effects may be due to several different mechanisms. For example; direct toxic effects of the plant, allergic reactions, effects due to contamination, interactions with drugs and other plants 29. Some studies have shown that the effect levels of current herbal products vary depending on their bioactive ingredients using in phytotherapy. For example, analysis of 25 different ginseng products commonly using in phytotherapy has shown that the concentration of two groups of substances, ginsenocytes and eleutherocytes, known to have biological activity may vary from 15 to 200 times 30. The 37,500 of the 53,000 substances (36.000 of them are land, 1500 of them are marine plants) examined by the National Cancer Institute for being able to be developed the effective treatment against cancers in the last 10 years are plants, and 40% medicines which were defined between 1983 and 1993 originate from the plants and these constitute 50% of the medicines prescribing in the United States. Additionally, Hypericum perforatum preparation is the best-selling prescribed medicinal product in Germany, and this shows that the medical community have confidence in herbal healing 31, 32. Traditional herbal preparations in China constitute 30-50% of the total medical consumption 33. All these narratives make the necessity to investigate the effects of medicinal plants, which have become a sector in the world, by scientific methods.

Should Alnylam Pharma Be Getting More Credit for Its Regeneron Deal? (NASDAQ: REGN) (NASDAQ: ALNY) - 24/7 Wall St.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ALNY) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) have announced a collaboration to discover, develop and commercialize new RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics for a broad range of diseases by addressing disease targets expressed in the eye, central nervous system (CNS) and liver.
Ultimately, the collaboration will leverage both companies' scientific and technological expertise and will build on Alnylam's recent preclinical data showing potent and highly durable delivery of RNAi therapeutics to achieve target gene silencing in the eye and CNS. The collaboration also will benefit from Regeneron's industry-leading VelociSuite technologies and capabilities from the Regeneron Genetics Center.
Also according to the deal, Regeneron has agreed to make a $400 million upfront payment to Alnylam and to purchase $400 million of Alnylam equity at a price per share of $90 (4.44 million common shares). Alnylam is eligible to receive up to an additional $200 million in milestone payments upon achievement of certain criteria during early clinical development for the eye and CNS programs.
Keep in mind that Alnylam has a market cap just shy of $10 billion, and this deal could represent about a 10% bump if everything goes through.
Shares of Alnylam were last seen down less than 1% at $92.23, in a 52-week range of $60.27 to $124.22. The stock has a consensus price target of $120.67.
Regeneron traded down about 2.5% at $398.77 a share. The 52-week range is $281.89 to $442.00, and the consensus analyst target is $430.24.

COLONIE – Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes loss of muscle control. It affects about a million Americans.
About five months ago, a local dance teacher started a class for people with Parkinson's. Then, she learned about "Dance for Parkinson's," a program that got its start in 2001 in Brooklyn and has gone global.
She was invited to take the training class. Now, there's a whole lot of happy feet.
Once a week, a group of people living with Parkinson's Disease toss care to the wind and give themselves over to music and motion. It's the "Dance for Parkinson's" class at the Ciccotti Center in Colonie.
"It is a very bright spot in the week. Just that dancing and having fun and throwing your arms around and stuff. So I like that a lot," explained Patricia Clock, a Parkinson's patient.
The class incorporates movement from modern, ballet, tap, folk and social dancing - along with yoga.
"My wife has been trying to get me to dance ever since we were married and I'm really a horrible dancer," admitted Jud Eson.
He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease five years ago. He and his wife, Nancy, learned about "Dance for Parkinson's" a few years ago when they spent time in Brooklyn where the program was born. So they were thrilled when longtime dance teacher, Rachelle Smith-Stallman, who'd started a Parkinson's dance class in June, embraced the concept, undergoing training from "Dance for Parkinson's." The training helped hone specific moves to share with her classes bringing the most benefit to participants.
"I get the whole body going. I certainly work every single muscle possible. I use a lot of rhythm," explained Smith-Stallman. "It really gives spirit. It gives joy," she noted.
"'Cause exercise is the best medicine for Parkinson's disease," pointed out Eson.

Group Home is a hip hop duo, composed of members Lil' Dap (birth name James Heath) and Melachi the Nutcracker (birth name Jamal Felder). They came to prominence as members of the Gang Starr Foundation. Lil' Dap made his rhyming debut on Gang Starr's 1992 classic Daily Operation on the song "I'm the Man". Both members appeared on Gang Starr's critically acclaimed 1994 effort Hard to Earn, on the tracks "Speak Ya Clout" and "Words from the Nutcracker". In 1995, the group released its debut album, Livin' Proof. The album was very well received, mainly due to DJ Premier's advanced production work, described by Allmusic as "rhythmic masterpieces". A second album A Tear for the Ghetto was released in 1999, this time with only one track produced by DJ Premier.
Since then, little has been heard of the group. Lil' Dap released a solo single, "Brooklyn Zone", in 2001, and guested on several other releases. As of 2007, Lil' Dap is an independent artist, He released in 2008 solo album called I.A.Dap He was featured on Large Professor's 2008 album Main Source.
Nas referred to Group Home on the track "Where are They Now?" from his album Hip Hop Is Dead.

Located six miles south of Springfield and 30 miles north of Branson via Missouri 160, Nixa is one of the fastest growing cities in Missouri, with a staggering 350 percent increase in population from 1990 to 2010, according to census data. With a current population of nearly 20,000 people, many who live in Nixa are newcomers. Recent development in the Christian County town provides opportunity for daily shopping needs, recreation and quality public education, all without leaving the city limits. And as a 'bedroom community' of the much larger Springfield, everything Nixa residents need is found within arm's reach.

Nixa traces its roots to the mid-1800s with the movement of farmers and traders into this region of Missouri. As the rural community was a half-day wagon ride from Springfield, the town became an opportune stopping point – or crossroads - for those ferrying supplies between Arkansas and Springfield. The town's name springs from the term 'nix' for crossroads, adding an 'a' to the end for Nixa civic leader Nicholas A. Inman. Currently, Nixa continues to be a "crossroads" or mid-point between Springfield and the Branson area, drawing both residential and commercial growth.
Housing in Nixa has grown along with its population, with less expensive, older, single-family homes found nearer center city. Subdivisions include the upscale Fremont Hills, Copper Leaf and Villages at Wicklow, the latter a multi-phase, master-planned community featuring single-family neighborhoods, multi-family housing, retail, offices and activity centers with parks, sport courts and a community swimming pool. Ten miles west of Nixa is Clever, with a population of around 2100, offering a more rural setting with farms and homes with acreage. Highlandville, nine miles south of Nixa, offers much of the same.

Argentina sends out DNA kits in drive to identify thousands 'disappeared' under dictatorship | Human rights
The Argentinian government has sent hundreds of DNA testing kits to its consulates around the world in a groundbreaking effort to put names to unidentified victims murdered in the "Dirty War" waged by the brutal military dictatorship four decades ago.
Last month, the Argentinian authorities, in collaboration with the National Commission for the Right to Identity, the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo movement and investigators from the Argentinian Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF), launched its international Right to Identity campaign, committed to putting a name to every woman, man and child killed by the military junta in Argentina in the 1970s and early 80s.
After the 1976 coup, Argentina's military set about systematically crushing any potential opposition, and eventually "disappeared" and murdered 30,000 people, almost all of them civilian, unarmed non-combatants.

The abuses meted out to "los desaparecidos" in Argentina's Dirty War have inflicted a deep trauma on the Argentinian psyche. Pregnant prisoners were kept alive until they gave birth and were then murdered. At least 500 babies were taken from their parents while in captivity and given to childless military couples to raise as their own.
The task of identifying victims of the dictatorship is a herculean one, starting with discovering where the military buried the bodies of their victims.
After the return of democracy it was discovered that many victims were hidden in mass unmarked graves, some in municipal cemeteries. Others washed up on Argentina's beaches after they were drugged and thrown into the Atlantic Ocean from aircraft in macabre "death flights" organised by the military.
Last year, the EAAF, which was nominated for the Nobel peace prize in 2020, started a campaign to identify some 600 remains recovered in the years after the war and believed to be people "disappeared" by the junta. However, their efforts have been thwarted by missing genetic data.
Now the search for the missing families has been extended internationally with the government instructing Argentinian embassies and consulates around the world to help find missing relatives who could supply DNA to assist with the identification.
The first DNA collection kits arrived two weeks ago at the Argentinian consulate general in Rome.
It is hoped that testing in Italy will reveal many of the missing identities. Hundreds of thousands of Italians emigrated to Argentina in the late 19th century and early 20th century and almost 700,000 Argentinians hold dual citizenship. Many Italians also travelled to Argentina during the military dictatorship to join the resistance against the far-right regime. In October 1982, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera published a list of 297 Italians aged 17 to 29 who disappeared while in Argentina.
Maco Somigliana, who has been a member of the EAAF team since 1987, said: "We've been able to identify around 1,000 remains of victims of Argentina's dictatorship. There are 75 Italians reported as kidnapped during the dictatorship and we've been able to positively identify five of them so far."
The Guardian has seen an official list of 45 desaparecidos of Italian origin, who have yet to be identified. The search for their families, which has already started, will be led by two Argentinian consulates in Italy, which will collect DNA in Italy, Albania, Malta and San Marino.

Those who believe they may be relatives of desaparecidos will have to give a blood sample so the mitochondrial DNA can be traced. The drop of blood, taken and collected in a special container, will then be sent on a diplomatic flight to Córdoba in Argentina, where the EAAF forensic laboratory is based.
Ana de la Paz Tito, Argentina's consul general in Rome, said: "With the help of science, Argentina has strengthened its path towards the search for truth. Bones can speak. Science can make bones talk.
"The right to identify the bodies of the desaparecidos, their children, is a fundamental right, such as freedom, health, work and education. This right, in my country, had been violated by the state itself. And that tragedy pushes us Argentinians, today, to bring truth to those victims and their families. Because the truth helps us increase our collective memory and avoid the repetition of these tragedies."
Once the remains have been identified, they will be returned to their families. This procedure is free and confidential and there will be financial compensation for relatives of the victims.
Jorge Ithurburu, president of the Rome-based human rights organisation 24 Marzo, which takes its name from the date of the coup, said: "It is important to identify these people – burial is a right for all – but it is also a way to allow relatives, who have lived for decades in a sort of limbo, to mourn their loved one.
"The idea is to ensure these people stop being desaparecidos and that we give them a name, give them justice and that finally we are able to find out the cause of their death," he said.
Finding and identifying the bodies is a task that requires patience.
Azucena Villaflor, the founder of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, a group of mothers of the "disappeared" who confronted the military junta demanding to know the fate of their children, was herself kidnapped and then thrown into the Atlantic in December 1977.
Villaflor's body washed up on a faraway beach shortly afterwards and was hidden by local police in an unmarked grave. It was not until 2003 that Villaflor's murder was certified after Somigliana's team found where the police had secretly buried her.
The EAAF have since applied the skills they acquired in Argentina elsewhere, identifying victims of summary executions and genocide around the world, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Africa, Mexico and Asia, including the identification of the body of Che Guevara, the Cuban-Argentinian revolutionary, in Bolivia. They also participated in the case of the 43 students massacred in 2014 in Mexico's drug war at the request of the families of thevictims.
This article was amended on 28 May 2021. An earlier version said Argentina had sent out "thousands" of DNA testing kits when it meant to say "hundreds".

Steven Gerrard Hangs Up His Boots
by David on November 25, 2016
Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard has announced that he has retired, ending a 19-year playing career. Some Major League Soccer fans might dispute that, saying that Gerrard actually retired in 2015 when he left his boyhood side to move to the LA Galaxy.
But Gerrard's career was never going to defined but what he did in MLS though. His status as one of Liverpool's all-time greats was determined by what he did during his 710 appearances on Merseyside, where he won nine trophies, including THAT European Cup final in Istanbul.
Gerrard is also England's fourth most-capped player with 114 appearances and captained the side at three of the six major tournaments he played at.
"I feel lucky to have experienced so many wonderful highlights over the course of my career," said Gerrard.
"I have had an incredible career and am thankful for each and every moment of my time at Liverpool, England and LA Galaxy.
"I fulfilled my childhood dream by pulling on the famous red shirt of Liverpool."
Gerrard was made Liverpool captain by Gerard Houllier in 2003, and led the side to Champions League success in 2005, scoring the Reds' first goal as they recovered from 3-0 down at half-time to beat AC Milan on penalties in the Istanbul final.
"I am proud to have played over 700 games for Liverpool, many of which as captain, and to have played my part in helping the club to bring major honours back to Anfield, none more so than that famous night in Istanbul," he added.
"I feel privileged to have won 114 England caps and to have had the honour of captaining my country."
While the Champions League success is surely the highlight of Gerrard's Liverpool career, he also helped his boyhood club win two FA Cups, three League Cups, a Uefa Cup and a Uefa Super Cup.
"I was lucky to play alongside some great players and under some fantastic managers during my time at Anfield and would like to thank each and every one of them, as well as all of the backroom staff at the club throughout my time there for the fantastic support they showed me," he added.
Where does Gerrard stand in the pantheon of Liverpool greats? Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson says only former Scotland forward Kenny Dalglish was better.
"I think he is Liverpool's second best player behind Kenny Dalglish. There were 10 or 12 years where Steven, in any outfield position for Liverpool, would have been the best player in the team," said Lawrenson.
"A one-club man who was the scorer of great goals, a great passer and a player who drove the team on. Take Gerrard and Dalglish out of any side and it would be completely different."
Where do you rate Stevie G? Best Liverpool player ever?

Q: Setting an environment variable I am using xp. I am facing problem in using Variables.
I am using following  code
@echo off
set var = "srting"
When i check the value of var using %
set %var%
Environment variable %var% not defined
Anyone help ...

A: Take out the space before and after the equals sign; IIRC, I think that can cause problems.
Also, you can't put more than one command on a line like that, you have to separate it with ampersands, or instead, change it to this:
@echo off
set var="srting"

Edit:
You said you try:
Set %var%

but %var% is a value, not a variable name. Is that really what you intended?

A: set %var% Environment variable %var% not defined

White spaces are not allowed in setting variables in DOS batch file.
Try this :

@echo off
set var="srting"
echo %var%

.... that should give you an output "srting" on next line.

If you try now - your own command : set %var%
output should be : "Environment variable srting not defined"
which in my view is correct. Hope that makes sense for you.

A: If you want to execute different code path based on file content, this should work for you:
@echo off
set FILE_CONTENT=string

for /f %%a in (file.txt) do set var=%%a

if %var%==%FILE_CONTENT% (
 goto MATCHED
 ) else (
     goto NOT_MATCHED
     )

 :MATCHED
 echo "matched"
 goto:EOF

 :NOT_MATCHED
 echo "Not matched"
 goto:EOF

However, if the file name contains 'spaces' or '(' like in 'c:\program files(x86)', the above code will not work. The workaround is to get the short name (probably using: ~dpsx) of the file and then use it.

OddFellows Ice Cream Co. Opens Coffee & Cream
Coffee, ice cream, and refreshing caffeinated combos served in Nolita
Odd Fellows opens new ice cream and coffee spot
The team behind OddFellows Ice Cream Co., co-owner Mohan Kumar and chef Sam Mason (who was nominated for the James Beard award), recently opened Coffee & Cream, a new space in the Nolita neighborhood for your go-to coffee – or ice cream – fix.
The ambiance is modest with a simple decor of white brick and circus-inspired accents, including line drawings done by artist Cerise Zelenetz. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the busy street while the take-out window makes for easy on-the-go ordering when you need to take your caffeinated treat with you.
The menu features coffee, ice cream, and a mix of both items. For coffee, you can enjoy a classic cappuccino or latte with regular milk or various additions to make it a bit more unique. Think: smoked raisin milk or chocolate syrup that are both made in-house. More modern concoctions include Smith Teamaker Nitro Chai or Stumptown Cold Brew, which are served on tap.
On the ice cream – or "cream" – menu, you'll find OddFellows' most popular ice cream flavors, such as Dark Chocolate Chunk and Salted Caramel Popcorn.
And as for the combo dishes, there's plenty to choose from when you want to mix up your daily coffee routine. Order the Odd-fogato if you prefer espresso poured over your vanilla ice cream or try the Cold Brew Milkshake made with ice cream and beer when you're craving a buzz.
There's also a variety of baked goods available from Brooklyn's own Bien Cuit and several donut flavors from Wylie Dufresne's Du's Donuts.
Coffee & Cream is now open daily starting at 7am (Sundays at 8am).

Le gouvernorat de Tozeur (), créé le , est l'un des 24 gouvernorats de la Tunisie. Intégré au gouvernorat de Gafsa en novembre 1958, il est restauré en avril 1980.

Il est situé dans le sud-ouest du pays, à la frontière algéro-tunisienne, et couvre une superficie de , soit 2,9 % de la superficie du pays. Il abrite en 2014 une population de  habitants, ce qui en fait le gouvernorat le moins peuplé de Tunisie. Son chef-lieu est Tozeur.

Géographie
Le gouvernorat de Tozeur est limité par le gouvernorat de Gafsa au nord-est, le gouvernorat de Kébili au sud-est et l'Algérie au nord-ouest.

Administrativement, il est découpé en cinq délégations, six municipalités, quatre conseils ruraux et 36 imadas.

Le climat y est de type désertique : la température moyenne est de  et les précipitations varient entre 0,7 et 10,7 millimètres selon les délégations.

Politique

Gouverneurs
Voici la liste des gouverneurs de Tozeur depuis l'indépendance :

Maires
Voici la liste des maires des six municipalités du gouvernorat de Tozeur dont les conseils municipaux ont été élus le 6 mai 2018 et présidés par les maires suivants :
 Degache : Kamel Khaldi
 El Hamma du Jérid : Mohamed Bechir Souli
 Hazoua : Atia Ben Saïd
 Nefta : Mourad Lassoued
 Tamerza : Abdelaziz Hajji
 Tozeur : Abdelaati Bey

Économie
Il compte une population active de  personnes répartie entre l'agriculture (26,1 %), les services (25,6 %), l'administration (22,8 %), le BTP (15,3 %) et l'industrie (7,6 %).

Agriculture

L'agriculture est encore l'activité principale de la région avec le tourisme. Il ne s'agit que de cultures irriguées et quasiment exclusivement de palmeraies si l'on excepte quelques serres fonctionnant à la géothermie. On compte sur la région  hectares de palmeraies, répartie pour moitié entre des palmeraies anciennes (Degache, Tozeur, Nefta et El Hamma du Jérid — dont la plantation remonte sans doute à l'Antiquité — et des palmeraies modernes, dont les premières furent l'œuvre des colons français. Les palmeraies, surtout anciennes, abritent des productions de cultures maraîchères (658 hectares) et arboricoles dont la production est surtout autoconsommée.

Le gouvernorat est surtout connu pour ses palmiers-dattiers et sa production d'un cultivar de dattes, la deglet nour ; il existe environ 250 autres cultivars différents cultivés dans la région.

Tourisme

La région connaît actuellement un développement spectaculaire du tourisme saharien : Tozeur possède une infrastructure touristique diversifiée, comportant des unités d'accueils variées (38 unités hôtelières d'une capacité d'accueil de  lits) et des lieux de loisirs (terrain de golf, musées et palmeraies). La très large majorité de la fréquentation est cependant imputable à nes nuitées uniques de circuits touristiques qui ne visite Tozeur et sa région que lors d'une étape. En 2008, la moyenne du nombre de nuitée par touriste est de 1,34, en diminution depuis 1996 .

Gisement de phosphate
Un important gisement de phosphate a été découvert entre Tozeur et Nefta, à douze kilomètres à l'Ouest de Tozeur en direction de Nefta), avec un potentiel de 100 à 150 emplois, suscitant une controverse quant à son exploitation en raison du risque de pollution, de développement de cancers et de dépôts de poussière sur les palmiers. Le PDG de la Compagnie des phosphates de Gafsa, Romdhane Souid, annonce en avril 2016 que  et prévoit un démarrage de son exploitation en 2021.

En 2017, l'Union des agriculteurs de Tozeur oppose un refus ferme à cette exploitation, en raison des risques de pollution et de la consommation en eau. Le gouverneur de Tozeur, Saleh Mtiraoui, déclare le 3 janvier 2019 sur Express FM que l'exploitation de ce gisement pourrait décupler le PIB de la région, qu'il est possible d', et que le gisement ne sera pas mis en exploitation par le gouvernement contre la volonté des habitants.

Gwyn and the Lords of the Wild Hunt - and exhibition of photographs and paintings by Vanda Lloyd and Suzi Edwards-Goose, with contributions from Stephen Madog and Tim Clay.
Come meet the Winter Court of Gwyn ap Nudd in words and images.
"And racing out of the sky, on a Samhain night. . . I saw Gwyn the King leading the hunt. . .on a wild horse he came. . four great hounds running beside him. . .and the night was split open as the faery host crashed through. . .made of smoke and starlight amid the raging storm. . .and I bowed my head as the hunt passed by. . ."


FINAAALLLYY! I'm sharing the pictures of my birthday, instead of working on my thesis. I'm still on such a natural high from the happiness of my birthday. I don't think I've ever felt this loved before. As I mentioned in my last podcast I sometimes have a hard time missing my friends while they're all out working hard, but to think that they all made time to come celebrate my birthday made me feel so good.
We night before my birthday my parents gave me my gifts because my dad had to work the next day. I desperately wanted to get a dog and I ended up getting to take care of the neighbor's dog for a while with the possible extension of getting my own dog. And I got a Polaroid camera in pink with a pink cover which is so me.
The next day we started to decorate the whole entire house. I had made a sea of gold balloons above the table. Kimberly came to help and did a lot before she started taking a nap hahaha. The whole house turned to gold, and the table looked so pretty.
When all my friends arrived I did their make-up and we started taking group pictures. All the pictures are taken by Julia Marino, you should definitely check her out, she took the best pictures. The dinner started off with Bruschetta, then Capazzio, a Cucumber-Avocado soup, sushi bowls with fries, and a beautiful birthday cake as dessert. During dinner, there were speeches by my dad, Kimberly, Lucia and Roos and Sabrina. they were so sweet, and I felt so happy listening to them. Fleur gave me the most amazing book that she made with all of my friends, where they wrote stories about our friendship and about me.
I want to thank all of my friends for this fantastic night that I will never forget!

— Women Are Beautiful series, Garry Winogrand, circa 1970
In this series, 'Women Are Beautiful' Winogrand brings together the pieces of a revolution. The photographs were taken during the rise of the second wave of feminism; It clearly reflected in the women throughout America. The freedom that came upon them could be seen in their attitude, their dressing, their postures and in all the little details the photographer was able to capture.
Garry Winogrand's style is closely related to abstract expressionism, his unique angles and visual representation with sharp diagonals closely represent unbalanced yet intriguing images. In the book of photos, the photos are arranged in a way that it tells a story, it's more like watching a movie.
Looking at each of these images I sense strength and freedom in the eyes of these women. The photographs showed women from different races and backgrounds, he conveyed to the world that the beauty of women did not exist in anything else but themselves. Winogrand dedicated around a decade of his life into capturing this series, he roamed around the United States turning the city into his beautiful frames, he captured the attitude, strength, happiness and beauty in casual daily activities of women in the streets. Winogrand was called the master of moments, there was an unbalanced accuracy and aesthetics to his photographs, the beauty of his photographs were in capturing a moment so perfectly, he used a 35mm Leica camera for the photographs so as to take quick shots. during the decade he captured more than 300,000 photographs for the series where more than half of it remains unedited after his death, the dedication he gave in to it gave birth to one of the best series of photographs of all time.
Mind was a prison, ruby lined
in its lipstick noir—everything woman
I was expected to be, trapped between
papered walls. What they said to do, I did not
but only levitated at the burning,
the body a water in which I drowned, the life
a windshield dirty with love. What they
said to think, I thought not but instead made
my mind into a birdcage with wings
— Everyone In Me Is A Bird, Melissa Studdard
I have found the warm caves in the woods,
filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,
closets, silks, innumerable goods;
fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves:
whining, rearranging the disaligned.
A woman like that is misunderstood.
I have been her kind.
— Her Kind, Anne Sexton
Women are fierce. They are powerful. No matter what language they speak, how they dress or the work they choose to do. What matters is they have a choice, and the freedom to carve out a life for themselves. As long as we know women, who are strong resilient,we must respect them, carry them forward, lift them up. for they are the product of all our selves, the women we were, the ones we strive to be, the collective struggle of our mothers, our sisters, our daughters .our salvation will only come if we stand together
— Women's Anthem, Lang Leav
The photograph is defined by the beauty of the frame, the light rays and the confident young women gaining the eyes of the viewers. But the way I see it is rather metaphorical, the women walking through the light rays; the light rays being the future of feminism.
With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard 'cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame, I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise.
— Still I Rise, Maya Angelou
"Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's looking for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours."
— Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (2004)
Sometimes I wonder,
what the women who died fighting for us,
thinks about the events down here; Are they angry we don't do enough?
Or do they understand the struggle?
Do they pity us for not being able to fight stronger?
Or do they empathise with us? What do they feel about women who pull women down,
Women;
who are blind to their own scars,
Oblivious to their own sufferings? Will there be a day when the women in heaven
And the women on earth, can rest knowing that the battle has been won?
That there is no longer people who want us on our knees
And no longer do we need to lower our voice or our heads?
Will there ever be a day,
where we will not be forced to put a veil on our dreams and identities for the sake of others?
— Hiba Ashraf
Women are not meant to compromise, as I say this I'm angry and I want each of you to be! There are still people out there and its not just men I'm talking about, but all the women who are soo blinded by patriarchy they try to put it on you. Its the unprivileged girls out there I'm scared for, for me personally social media has had a huge impact on how I see feminism, there are girls out there who are so brainwashed they can't recognize their own worth; feminism has to reach every corner of the world, and I know, it wouldn't just change the life of women but the world.

High-power cordless
By Plumbing & HVAC Staff on	 July 21, 2016 News
By Simon Blake
The "cordless jobsite" took a huge step closer to becoming reality June 21 when DeWalt unveiled a new battery and charging system that covers tools from 20 volts to 120 volts.
The company brought media from all over North America to Baltimore to a "secret location" in a hanger on an airfield to introduce the company's new Flexvolt battery and charging system. The 60-volt Flexvolt battery automatically senses the power requirements of the tool and can run the company's 20-volt tools along with new lines of 60-volt and 120-volt units. Used in a 20-volt tool, it provides up to four times the run time of a 20-volt battery.
"I believe the new Flexvolt system will transform the industry," remarked Frank Mannarino, president of Stanley Black & Decker's professional products group.
The 120-volt line – at this point only a mitre saw and a table saw – runs off two 60-volt batteries. And because these tools are 120 volt, they can also plug into a standard wall outlet so that the contractor has the option of running them corded or cordless depending on the job situation.
With the new 60-volt battery, many of the cordless tools now have more power than their corded counterparts, added Mannarino. A 60-volt cordless angle grinder has 1,700 watts of power compared to the corded equivalent at 1,200 watts.
A new charging station can simultaneously charge four Flexvolt batteries in two hours. Once those batteries are fully charged, it can also operate as a portable power station and run 120-volt corded tools.
A new fan-cooled 80-amp 60-minute (or less) fast charger will be included with all 60-volt kits. The 60-volt battery can also be charged with a standard 20-volt charger.
This lightweight charging station can also serve as a jobsite power supply.
Along with the 60 and 120-volt tools, the company will continue to offer it's 20-volt line and introduced a number of new 20-volt Max products at the event.
The cordless jobsite
One of the goals with the new Flexvolt system is make a cordless jobsite a reality.
"Why have we been relentlessly pursuing a cordless jobsite," Mannarino asked. He listed four critical reasons:
1) convenience
2) eliminating tripping hazards
3) lack of power availability on many job sites
4) market expansion
"Twenty-volt or 18-volt just do not have the power to go after the land of corded and gas powered applications," he added.
Different approaches
While improved battery technology boosts run time, DeWalt has expended considerable effort in finding other ways to extend battery life. One of those ways has been to improve the design of things like reciprocating saw blades, hole saws, etc. so that they require less power to cut, noted engineer Brad Nohr.
"A lot of work went into improving saw blade performance to get more cuts per charge." In hole saws, for example, a new design for the pilot bit actually pulls the hole saw through the wood.
Todd Plajzer demonstrated the new press tools and threaded rod cutter.
Mechanical industry tools
The other big news at the event was the introduction of specialized mechanical industry tools. Topping the list were crimp press tools for PEX, ½ to two-inch steel and ½ to four-inch copper.
In addition to offering its own jaws, the new DeWalt press tools will accept the jaws of other manufacturer's press tools. The jaws can be changed quickly with a spring loaded locking pin that is either fully in or fully out. There are no electronic sensors to fail, noted Todd Plajzer, product manager for press tools. As well, the neck pivots 360 degrees for working in tight spaces.
Each press tool uses DeWalt's free Crimp Connect software, which tracks tool use, reminding the user when it requires calibration. "If an inspector comes by, I can plug it in and show him exactly when it was calibrated," he added. As well, the contractor can print out a full report for each tool that documents every crimp.
Asked if DeWalt intends to introduce tools for expansion type PEX fittings, Plajzer said: "We're looking at it."
The other tool that will have a significant benefit for contractors working on industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) projects is a cordless electric threaded rod cutter. It cuts ¼, 3/8 and 1/2 –inch mild steel rod and ¼ and 3/8-inch stainless steel rod. Cuts take about two seconds with no thread cleanup required.
The tool is designed for use with one hand, leaving the worker with a free hand to hang on to a ladder or railing when cutting. "It's a huge productivity saver," said Plajzer.
DeWalt expects to introduce the new Flexvolt system and the new plumbing tools in Canada on Sept. 1.


And tomorrow we'll have one! Woo-hoo!
I did the math, and in the month of April, the kids and I have spent the night in 8 different homes or hotel rooms.
Josh's number is even higher thanks to his drive across the country.
We are ready, ready, ready to be settled!
But we've definitely had some fun during all the transition as well.
Yesterday while packing up from our night in LA, we decided to take a last-minute detour and visit some good friends from North Carolina who now live in California.
So we drove 2 hours from LA to Edwards AFB and spent the night there. We had a great time hanging out with our friends, and then this afternoon we drove back to Monterey.
We got our keys to the new house, and went in to try to figure out where we want all the furniture to go before the movers get there in the morning. Tomorrow night we'll be sleeping in our own beds, albeit among boxes and a big mess.
We have the internet installation scheduled for Wednesday, so hopefully I wont be out of touch for long. I owe a lot of folks e-mails, so please don't think I'm ignoring your messages-- things have been just a wee bit crazy.
Joshua B. Schore, Fighter Pilot. Confident enough in his manhood to sport a pink princess backpack in public. While riding on a blue whale.
Does the dirty work of blocking his family from the "splash" of Splash Mountain. He hates doing it, but he perseveres for us.
Erin N. Schore, 30-something housefrau. Has an unnatural fear of Ferris wheel's and an equally unnatural love of root beer floats and funnel cakes.
Derek J. Schore, tiny infant baby boy. Enjoys tame rides, hates characters, and is still carrying a grudge for being made to try everything once. Goes to Disneyland to play with bubbles.
Our first family trip to Disneyland was definitely a success. I have a ton more pictures, but in a couple of days I'll have actual high speed internet and I'll upload them then.
Come visit us in our new house!
What do Octonauts, Tacos, and Deer have in common?
But they're all making an appearance in this post.
We are making slow but steady progress in getting settled in Monterey. I can't believe I haven't taken any pictures of the area yet! It's beautiful here, and I promise I will fix that, hopefully soon.
Right now, Josh is checking in with his unit here, and maybe doing some in-processing.
We made a decision on a house and we're just waiting on the owner to run background/credit checks before we can get a lease signed.
The house is in a great location-- walking distance to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. And it's an old Victorian style with a lot of fun nooks and crannies for hide and seek.
Speaking of the aquarium, since most of the business we could accomplish was on hold for the day, we took the kids there yesterday. We bought family passes for the year, since if you go more than once, it's cheaper to just get the pass. It is a really nice aquarium, and the kids loved it.
Especially Derek, as there were many things to point out that were "just like on Octonauts!"
He ran through the whole place, yelling excitedly at each new exhibit. I predict lots of trips there over the next year.
When we were finished at the aquarium, we wandered down Cannery Row, checking out the restaurants and shops. There was a little beach access area at the end, and while I had my hood pulled up and my hands in my pockets, Alex was up to her knees in the Pacific. Crazy girl.
You'll never guess what was right next to the beach access.
And yes, yes we did hop over for some tacos. And even better, it's also walking distance from the house we're trying to rent.
So you know where you can find me on Tuesday evenings.
And on Wednesdays, we'll be walking the kids over to Awanas at the church that is literally within sight of the front yard of the house. Then Josh (who will be HOME FOR DINNER this YEAR!!) and I will saunter down to Cannery Row and enjoy Wednesday date night at a grown-up restaurant.
So you know where you can find me on Wednesday evenings.
And look at that, two days in a row that I don't have to cook!
Assuming we get the lease signed in the next day or two, we'll be booking a hotel room at Disneyland and heading south. Yippie skippie!
Lest you think everything is all sunshine and roses, I feel the need to point out that our van is still parked at our friends' home in North Carolina waiting for a car shipper to hopefully pick it up soon.
We make daily phone calls to the company, and are reassured that it shouldn't be more than a week or so.
We are not easily reassured.
Also, this new lodging room leaves a little to be desired. The kids are sharing a bed for the first time, which is actually going surprisingly well.
But they have the queen bed in the room that actually has a door to shut, which leaves Josh and I on the pull out.
Here's our home sweet home, for now.
At least the continental breakfast is decent.
And here's the view from the front door of our room.
Yes, that's a deer just hanging out on the hill.
The kids like to see how close they can get to the deer before they run away.
Lastly, and some of you are going to have a hard time believing this, we are buying real, actual cell phones.
The kind that work. And can text.
I'm going to let you recover from that one. Deep breaths.
-- We survived the flight. The kids actually did great for being on a plane for 8 hours. Lots of snacks, iPad games, and more trips to a tiny airplane bathroom than I care to recall.
-- They thought it was very funny that there were grown ups all around them taking naps on the plane! Oh, the craziness. Because did they nap? Nay. Nay they did not.
-- Which was all fine and dandy until we got off the plane and their bodies remembered that it was way past bedtime on the east coast and there were still hours until they'd be tucked into a bed.
-- Things kind of went downhill from there.
-- After a short night's sleep, we headed out on Sunday to do some serious house hunting. Thankfully Josh had been able to pre-screen a bunch of homes before we got here to make it easier on us. We hope to have a decision made by tonight.
-- Monterey! It's like a whole 'nother world. Beautiful, beachy, and very, very, hilly.
Makes tooling about in a manual transmission Corolla a bit of a challenge. Josh has been doing all the driving. Not gonna lie, I'm kind of afraid to.
-- Right now it's 6:45 am and I've been up for 2 hours. This is hard to believe, since I consider myself to be a world champion sleeper, able to persevere and snooze through just about anything. I'm a little embarrassed that a 3-hour time change is turning me into a shadow of the sleeping woman I once was.
-- Internet in the base lodging is s-l-o-w, so forgive me for not getting any pictures on for the next little bit.
Then we're off to check out the last of the homes on our list and make a final decision.
-- Once we wrap that up, we're going to try to make some vacation plans.
As of yesterday afternoon, our family is officially homeless. We've handed off the keys for our casa de Maple'hood, and all of our worldly possessions are in a big truck somewhere.
The kids and I are staying with our friends, and Josh is in a hotel room in Tennessee.
Only he didn't get quite as far as he had planned because the poor chap has been stricken ill while on his voyage. He stopped driving early so he could have his fever, chills, and nausea in a hotel room instead of in the corolla.
I'm sorry sweetie. I'd bring you a drink and some medicine if I could.
Thankfully we built some extra time into his road trip "just in case", so he should still have plenty of time to make it to California before the kids and I fly in on Saturday.
Unless he has the plague.
Then he might never get out of Tennessee.
That would be sad, because frankly I was just getting used to having him around.
I feel as though we are in an odd time of limbo this week. We're out of our house but not out of town. Waiting on the car shippers to put me out of a vehicle.
And thankful for good friends who take in the homeless, even when they have a 7 week old baby! I would like to think that my extra hands would be helpful, but sweet Whitney is about as easy as they come. Sometimes I pretend she's fussing so I can snuggle her.
I'm sad to be leaving our friends, a little intimidated by moving someplace where we don't know anyone, and ready to get on with it all at the same time.
The next big thing on our agenda is finding a home as quick as we can so we can have time to take leave before Josh's class starts up in mid-May. Neither of us has been to California before, so there's plenty we would like to see.
And now I'm off to sleep, it's been a long week.
Happy Easter to you all! Christmas is wonderful, but without Easter it wouldn't mean anything.

Business News Deals Digital Labels & Publishers
Universal Music announces new deal with Tencent, but also a direct deal with NetEase
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 11 August 2020
Universal Music, partly owned by Tencent, has announced a bold new licensing agreement with QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music and WeSing, the Chinese streaming services owned by, well, erm, Tencent. What a coup!
"Through this extended partnership, Universal Music Group and Tencent Music Entertainment will further explore and expand their shared commitment to continued growth across the music market in China, in order to provide value for artists and great experiences for music fans", the two companies said yesterday.
Under the deal, the major will continue to make its global catalogue available to the various subscription streaming services operated by Tencent – ie QQ Music, Kugou Music and Kuwo Music – as well as karaoke platform WeSing and some other livestreaming ventures.
To date, the latter have proven particularly lucrative for Tencent, with the music industry not really sharing in the revenues those service's generate in any tangible way. It's not clear if the new Universal deal with change that.
Beyond licensing Tencent's existing services, the new deal also sees the two companies launch a new joint venture record label which will be, and I quote, "dedicated to reaching audiences across China through cultivating, developing, producing, and showcasing highly talented domestic artists and their premium original music". Good times.
"We are pleased to extend and evolve our licensing agreement with TME for the Chinese market", says Universal's EVP of Market Development Adam Granite. "We look forward to working together with TME to help create compelling new experiences for fans across all TME platforms, and to expand on the opportunities available to UMG's global and domestic family of artists in China".
"I am delighted to announce this landmark win-win strategic cooperation with Universal Music Group", added TME CEO Cussion Pang. "Supported by our hundreds of millions music lovers, powerful promotional channels, extensive user insights, as well as well-rounded digital music services, we have been a valuable partner for the industry to engage with music lovers".
Despite the ongoing Universal/Tencent love-in, actually the much more interesting deal announced yesterday was between the mega-major and Tencent's main competitor in the Chinese streaming market, that being NetEase Cloud Music.
To date the majors have not only licensed the Tencent streaming services, but also allowed Tencent to distribute their catalogues in the Chinese market. Which means Tencent's rivals in China have had to try to negotiate licensing deals with their main competitor.
It was always a highly unusual and slightly controversial situation that could only really ever happen in a country like China. Though, even there, regulators have expressed some concerns about those arrangements in recent years.
Those concerns could have risen after Tencent announced its deal to buy 10% of Universal Music at the end of last year, which is possibly why now is a good time for the music major to drop the exclusivity deals in China and start dealing directly with the other streaming services in the country. And the obvious place to start is NetEase.
Confirming his company now had a direct deal with Universal, the boss of NetEase, William Ding, said yesterday: "This partnership further strengthens NetEase Cloud Music's position as a go-to platform for high-quality international music and marks a great step forward for China's music industry as a whole".
"As leaders in music-based entertainment, UMG and NetEase Cloud Music share a commitment to encouraging creativity and innovation, respecting the power of artistry and exploring wider opportunities for the appreciation and enjoyment of the world's most iconic, edgy and influential music", he went on. "We are confident that the partnership will bring wider choice not only for music lovers and artists, but also for the industry".
Confirming the NetEase deal from Universal's side, the aforementioned Granite said: "We are delighted to enter into this licensing agreement with NetEase Cloud Music in China, and look forward to working together to create new opportunities for UMG's domestic and international artists to reach music fans and premium subscribers across the country through NetEase".
