The United Islands music festival, which starts in Prague on Friday, is one of many such fests taking place in the Czech Republic over the summer months. Outside the capital there are big festivals in Trutnov and Cesky Brod, as well as numerous smaller ones, ranging from hip hop camps to folk music gatherings.
This year's United Islands music festival begins in Prague on Friday. It runs for over a week but, in an unusual twist, takes place at three different locations, each venue focusing on a different area of music. David Gajdecka is one of the festival's organisers.
"We decided to start it because Prague is relatively boring in the summer, with theatres and clubs closing their doors. W chose to hold in on three islands because then you don't disturb people and you can have music all day. And the different styles mean people can really choose to listen to their own kind of music."
The first island is Strelecky ostrov, with the accent on world and folk music. The second is the nearby Slovansky ostrov, where you can hear jazz and blues. And the last is Branicka louka, which isn't actually an island, though it is near the river.
The British group Franz Ferdinand are one of the main attractions at August's Love Planet, which this year takes place not in Tabor but at Prague's Vystaviste. The other main headliners are Pet Shop Boys.
Outside the capital there are many, many other music festivals, with the best known perhaps August's open air festival in Trutnov, which began as an underground gathering in 1987.
Another huge fest outside Prague is Rock for People, which takes place in Cesky Brod at the start of July - the biggest name there is Manu Chao.
Otherwise there are dozens and dozens of other, smaller festivals, ranging from, hip hop camps to folk music events to house music at a castle in south Moravia.
And this year's CzechTek should pass relatively peacefully - the organisers have just signed a contract to hold it on army land near Karlovy Vary, at the end of July.

The Glorious Communist Patty... Russian Food Guide, Part 8
Soviet history
Share Twitter Pinterest Facebook 8166 0 42
America, we need to have a talk. It won't be a pleasant one, but it needs to happen. I will lay it out to you bluntly, just ripping that band-aid right off. Thing is, America, you are atrociously bad at hamburgers. There, I have said it. Let that ham steam a little…
I take no pleasure in saying this, but, listen, after seven posts of letting you laugh at the trials, tribulations and outright absurdities of the Russian culinary journey, we deserve to strike back, even if just once. (Warning: we shall strike more than once.)
Here is another thing. We are painfully aware that the American hamburger, while sorely inadequate for all the reasons that will be outlined in exhaustive detail below, is nevertheless conquering the world. It is all the rage in Europe, in the Far East and, alas, even in Russia where it has absolutely no reason to thrive yet does anyway, somehow.
Yes, I have walked the streets of Chelyabinsk gazing in disbelief at the enormous billboards imploring the hardy denizens of the Urals to eat a particular brand of "gamburgery", the graphic showcasing said monstrous "gamburgery" in all their ketchup-slathered shame. Yes, I have listened to horrible Russian rap songs imploring Moscow's citizens to "down a burger for the health" of the city's glorious and perfect mayor for ridding it of gays and protestors.
But here is the thing. The hamburger sits on a throne of lies. Deep in your hearts and even deeper in your stomachs you know that its fame is as shallow as its substance. That its worldwide acclaim is as manufactured as the McRib hype. That ultimately, at its basest level, the hamburger tastes of nothing, represents nothing, amounts to nothing and is craved by nobody. Just like regulation-free economy.
The hamburger, after all, is nothing but a handful of ground beef-like matter shaped into a flat hockey puck, with a bit of salt and pepper added purely for ceremonial reasons, and mercilessly scorched. The hamburger's own, native taste roughly resembles that of an ancient, decomposing shoe sole. Its only value is to deliver protein to a meal otherwise composed of bread, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, several brightly-painted snot-like condiment matters, mushrooms, pickles, bacon, onions and whatever the hell else you throw into that abominable cauldron of culinary failure. The need to stockpile ingredients in between two limp, criminally tasteless pieces of bread is there precisely because the hamburger itself is such an empty vessel. It's mutilated body parts a cow had given up on. It's less than worthless. Its worth is measured in negative numbers. It's death in patty form.
It's fine and good to criticize our ways of treating minced beef trimmings, you will say. But hey, you will add, don't act like Russia, of all places, has figured a better way to make them edible!
Well, funny that you ask…
Go drool elsewhere, I've just washed this blog
The kotleta is the alpha and omega of Russian cooking. It's the perfect nexus of means and abilities that has produced an unimpeachably great result, a pinnacle of its genre, absolutely unreachable by any Western analog. It is the standard your "steamed hams" will never approach, no matter how much ketchup you pour on them or what type of bread prison you encase them in.
Here is the thing you should know about the kotleta. It is the one Russian dish that keeps our American-born kids firmly tethered to their roots. They will gobble peanut butter and squeal for chicken nuggets and categorically reject our beloved staples such as borscht, black bread and all mayonnaise everything, but a mere whiff of a kotleta will make them drop all veneer of Yankishness and beg for it in perfect, unaccented Pushkin's Russian.
For no human being who has sampled the kotleta can ever return to hamburgers as if no life-transforming event had just occurred. Nobody can keep living pretending that those things, those ketchup-slathered corpse mounds of wasted food are OK. You can always tell an American-born child of Russian parents by the sad, condescending look their faces assume anywhere in the vicinity of an American burger joint. "How can this occupy the same universe with mom's kotleta?", this look implores. And, like so many eternal questions posed by Russians, it has no satisfactory answer. A species that has invented the kotleta should never have also invented a hamburger. Or concentration camps, for that matter. But hey, humans are fucked up, what can we say?
The Terminology
With all that said, let's talk a bit about the linguistics of the matter. The Russian term kotleta, as can easily be surmised, is nothing but the Russification of the English/French word "cutlet", though the actual dish bears no resemblance to the word's meaning. The cutlet is, of course, a specific cut of meat, usually quite thin, which is mostly served fried and quite often breaded. In Russian, this dish is referred to as "otbivnaya kotleta" (literally, "beaten cutlet") and is not in any major way different from anything you know as a "cutlet."
The actual kotleta, however, was a variety made for people who couldn't easily afford high-quality meat. As such, it was a cutlet-shaped patty of ground meat, originally dubbed "rublenaya kotleta" (or "minced cutlet"), but the first word was later dropped as in the Soviet Union it quickly became, for obvious reasons, the only kotleta available to most of the population most of the time. The word "croquette" would probably be slightly more fitting here, but who cares, because we have taken this rather pedestrian peasant dish and perfected it in the way that gives it every right to call itself whatever the hell it wants.
Interestingly enough, during the Soviet era, Stalin's Trade Minister Anastas Mikoyan, whom I have already mentioned several times in my narrative, attempted to introduce the American hamburger to the Soviet populace, resulting in a dish that was called "Mikoyan's kotleta."
Only 50 kopecks, little comrade! The prize in the bag is not being shot!
Undoubtedly imitating the American hamburger (Mikoyan visited the US in the 30s in order to pick up new ideas and technologies), this particular dish, made with pork and beef, became extremely popular in pre- and post-war USSR, but eventually disappeared. For why would it persevere in a country that could do so much more with a meat patty!
The classic "mom's kotleta" is prepared in many varieties, and I will not hyperbolize in the slightest when saying that its main ingredient is love. Unlike the hamburger which is prepared by heartless machinery that will one day assuredly exterminate us all, the kotleta can only be hand-shaped, with ingredients measured out and mixed with utmost affection and devotion. Indeed, the only way to make a kotleta bad is to extinguish all traces of goodwill and hope in your heart.
What you will need for a kotleta is, of course, ground meat. It doesn't matter which animal it comes from, for a good kotleta can be made out of beef, chicken, veal, pork, turkey, mutton or a mixture of any of the above. But while this is the only ingredient of a hamburger, the point at which America has decided to stop and declare "My work here is done!", meat is but the beginning of the Russian kotleta's spiritual and material journey into the ranks of culinary bodhisattvas.
Absolutely imperative for kotleta's genesis is onion. But a humble yellow cooking onion will absolutely do, about one of a medium size per pound of meat. It must also be put through a meat grinder in order to turn it into a semi-liquid gruel-like substance and release its precious juices. Remember, America, while you can absolutely make sour cream without fat or hot dogs without dog, making a ground meat patty without onions violates all laws of humanity and physics and should be equated to war crimes and blasphemy. For if you endeavor to skip on the onions, why would you even bother with anything else? Just gnaw your meat raw while grunting and spluttering as your intellectual equals in the sty or the gutter would do.
Now, while onion is absolutely irreplaceable, garlic is strictly optional, but many Russian kotleta crafters do like to add a minced clove or two per pound of meat into their creation. Feel free to do the same. Nobody has ever regretted doing so.
Meat and onion form the basis of your creation, but, like everything we build, a binding agent is needed, and in a proper kotleta such a binding agent is bread.
An Interlude – The Gotcha Moment
"WAIT! STOP! KILL THE MUSIC!", you shall scream at this point. Surely, you are about to shout obscenities in my face while declaring that I am describing the creation of a meatloaf and in no way a better alternative to hamburgers.
Shut your mouth.
Do not dare say such words in my presence again. Now, sit down and keep reading while appreciating my willingness to let you continue living after uttering such horrible slander.
Yes, the reason your hamburgers are so severely lackluster is because you have gravely misunderstood their ancient, most essential secret: the bread must go inside the patty, filling its existence with meaning and inner light, not encase its mutilated corpse on the outside, serving as nothing but a coffin for its wasted potential. As always, the shallow and materialist West is vainly grasping for the truth on the surface while neglecting to penetrate the deeper meaning.
Consider yourself chastised. We shall continue.
The Process (continued)
Yes, bread is imperative for creating the proper kotleta, but it must be treated in accordance with the dish's god-like status. Pieces of white bread (a couple of slices per pound of meat will do) must be soaked in milk, just enough of it to be absorbed, and then ground up into the meat-and-onion mixture. As you carefully and lovingly mix it all together, you should be able to feel the smoothness, the vitality, the bursts of possibility emanating from your masterpiece.
Yet we are not yet done. Another binding agent, not mandatory yet helpful, is an egg (one per pound of meat), which will make certain that your patty keeps its structural integrity even if you slightly overdid it in the milk department or if your onion wound up being a little too juicy.
Then, come the absolute essentials: salt, pepper and spices. A true Level 800 Russian will settle for nothing less than khmeli suneli, a Georgian mix of herbs, where coriander, fenugreek, parsley and (obviously) dill play the leading roles, but you are welcome to do you and choose whatever herb and/or spice mix floats your particular boat. On this issue, we do not tend to be purists and, rest assured, whatever you choose, it will still be much preferable to scorching your meat on the grill and dousing it in cold ketchup later.
You have almost reached valhalla, friend. Your mixture is ready to be hand-shaped into the glorious Communist patty. No great skill is needed here other than imagining you are caressing the man or woman of your dreams in the most intimate and tender moments of your relationship.
Yeah, baby, you like it like that, don't you?
Of course, some true masters of the art go the extra mile and shape them in a way that insures a hollow space inside that will fill with meat juices upon cooking, creating a pocket of meat broth that will penetrate the kotleta's tender flesh and explode in your mouth obliterating all thoughts of McDonalds from your memory forever.
Once the patties are formed, you must, and I can't stress this enough, must roll each in flour or breadcrumbs, for while there is nothing wrong with a naked kotleta, one with a succulent golden crust that offers a measure of protection for the mystery inside is truly on another level.
The kotletas are then fried in vegetable oil, for a few minutes per side, until the crust is golden-brown and the flesh inside is faintly pink. This is it. You have finished your kotletas, you have made the world an incrementally better place to live in.
If we can do this, we can end war and hunger, too
The Consumption
Under no circumstances shall you:
encase the kotleta in a bun or a bread vessel of any kind
pour ketchup on it or indeed bring it within a half-mile radius of the kotleta
use your grubby misshapen paws to eat it.
The kotleta must be consumed with a fork and accompanied by mashed potatoes or buckwheat porridge or pasta or anything else that strikes your fancy as a good, wholesome side dish. Sure, fuck it, do it with French fries, why the hell not.
Kotleta's are also the preferred vodka chaser of anyone who has ever tried it in such capacity, as all true Russian intellectuals know that only peasants chase their vodka with cold appetizers.
The Varieties
"Mom's kotleta" isn't the only version of the dish available to a discerning connoisseur of minced-meat dishes. Over the centuries, Russians have come up with a multitude of different ways to prepare their superior hamburgers. And though none of them exactly top the basic recipe (for how can one hope to top perfection itself?), they do offer a little bit of variety and space for creativity. Here are but a few of "mom's kotleta's" little children.
Pozharsky cutlet. This rather aristocratic version is named after the Pozharsky Inn in Moscow and is mentioned in a poem by Alexander Pushkin himself. The original recipe called for the use of veal but the modern version is usually prepared with ground chicken. The bread is usually soaked in cream and melted butter is added to the mixture. The onion, instead of being put through the grinder, is finely minced and lightly sautéed in butter. All and all, the Pozharsky cutlet takes the basic recipe and dials the decadence up a few notches, creating an extremely juicy and tender outcome. It is a highly treasured dish in some of Russia's swankiest restaurants.
Poltava cutlet. Poltava is the city in Ukraine, which in and of itself should immediately tell you the secret ingredient of this dish. It's bacon fat, of course! Finely minced fat is added to the meat mixture (the meat itself is normally beef) and the rest of the recipe stays the same. The addition of bacon fat, which renders into the meat, makes the patty criminally tasty and almost immediately lethal, but what's an artery or two when the world is burning around us anyway?
Kiev cutlet. This is nothing other than Chicken Kiev, which is not a kotleta at all, but rather breaded chicken breast with butter inside. While delicious in its own way, it does not belong in the same family, yet is often mentioned as a kotleta variety, including on restaurant menus. Buyer beware.
Khlynov cutlet. This is the original name of the Russian city of Kirov, and the secret ingredient here is minced raw potato. This is a slightly cheaper and less fatty way of making the patty juicier while also giving it a bit of starchy firmness. A more obscure recipe, yet still found in the Russian backwater and certainly not without its merits.
This is it. You have now been properly educated in the way of the true hamburger. You can go in peace and spread the gospel further. But don't forget to come back soon, for the next installation of my Russia Explaining series.
As I have noticed that many of my posts require me to make lengthy linguistic asides, I will take a small detour from the culinary field next time and talk a bit about the beauty, absurdity and ruthlessness of the Russian language.
So, join me next time, when the topic of Russian swear words and other emotional underpinnings of my native tongue will be explored.

Greenford schoolboy's cheese allergy death was 'unprecedented'
By : Plumbers Cricklewood

Cheema family / SWNS.com
Karanbir Cheema died almost two weeks after cheese was flicked at him at school, the inquest heard
The death of a schoolboy who collapsed after cheese was thrown at him was "unprecedented", an inquest has heard.
Karanbir Cheema, 13, died after having a severe reaction at his school in west London on 28 June 2017.
Specialist Dr Adam Fox said severe reactions from skin contact were "very, very uncommon" and he was "not aware of any fatal cases".
The boy who threw the cheese previously told the inquest he had been "playing around".
Karanbir, who had multiple allergies including to dairy products, was taken to hospital in a life-threatening condition after falling ill at Perkin Church of England High School in Greenford.
Epipen 'out of date'
He died almost two weeks later at Great Ormond Street Hospital of post-cardiac arrest syndrome.
St Pancras Coroner's Court heard Karanbir's Epipen, which was kept at the school, was 11 months out of date and was the only adrenaline administered before the teenager suffered cardiac arrest.
He displayed signs of anaphylaxis such as scratching for several minutes before receiving the adrenaline, the inquest heard.
Extreme allergies: 'I couldn't even eat an apple'
Dr Fox, a paediatric allergy consultant at Evelina London Children's Hospital, told the court it is "an important learning point" that "at the first sign of anaphylaxis it's 'get the adrenaline out and make sure they get it as soon as possible'."
But Dr Fox said the pen "probably had less potency" as it was past its expiry date.
Karanbir's Epipen, kept in the school welfare room, was out of date
Dr Fox said the cause of the reaction was what made it "extraordinarily unusual".
"If it was skin contact alone that caused, in this case fatal, anaphylaxis, I believe that to be unprecedented," he said.
The inquest has heard Karanbir, who also suffered from eczema, had scratched at his neck so much that blood was visible.
Dr Fox said "further scratching and degrading of the skin barrier" could have added to the reaction.
'No survival chance'
A paramedic admitted she had "probably" panicked when treating him, when asked by the coroner.
Alexandra Ulrich said she thought Karanbir had suffered an asthma attack and gave him two grams of magnesium sulfate, a drug which is used to treat muscle spasms during severe asthma attacks but is not meant for children.
"If I had known about the specific details of the history about the allergens, I wouldn't have given it," she said.
Ms Ulrich added a pocketbook given to ambulance staff had since been updated to make explicit the substance was not meant for under 18s.
Andrew Jones, paediatric intensive care consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said Karanbir's brain had been severely deprived of oxygen and over days it became apparent he "had no chance of survival".
Pathologist Liina Palm told the inquest the death was caused by anaphylactic shock and cited multiple food allergies as the underlying cause.
Dame Alice Hudson, executive head teacher of the Twyford Trust – which encompasses William Perkin school, said she believed there had been "a very good general awareness" of Karanbir's allergies among pupils.
The coroner is due to deliver her conclusion on 10 May.

With the new year comes purchasing season, so I've been compiling some of the spectrum repack data for a variety of cities, in an effort to have answers to the whats, whens, and whys from management. In this post you'll find a png (full quality PDF linked with other files) with an overview of the rollout phases for a few major market cities, as well as a link to a folder of Pete Erskine's Wireless Planner for each of those cities. I've added some of the missing Shure gear as well, though newer offerings from other manufacturers are likely absent.
-On the FCC's Incentive Auction Data Files site, I found the Tableau Reader file which gives a map view of stations that are changing during the repack. I selected a 50mi radius of the major city centers and saved the resulting list of stations undergoing changes.
-Finally, I cross-referenced my initial results with the repack list, and made it look pretty.
Please let me know if you find any errors--digging up this stuff can be tedious and I'm sure there's mistakes and omissions. These are living documents; I'd love to improve and maintain them going forward with the help and collaboration of others.
Link to Wireless Planner Files *Note--these are macro-enabled excel files, so you'll have to download them instead of viewing them in browser.
Thanks, Aram. I posted a link to this thread over at Control Booth.
Following up on this, RF Venue asked me to write a guest blog post giving it some context. It can be found here.
--- Quote from: Aram Piligian on January 09, 2018, 03:39:08 pm ---Cool!
This is a repost of a terrific RF Venue article. NOTE that in Dallas there is virtually no spectrum left.
In today's guest post from Aram Piligian of IMS Technology Services, the broadcast spectrum repack is covered in detail, with an important free download and other resource links covering rollout phases in major metropolitan areas.
I highly recommend sharing this with your team so you can anticipate these important changes that will have a direct impact on your operations of wireless mics and IEMs going forward.
As always, if I can answer any questions or assist in your preparations for this transition just reply to this email. There are a number of techniques and tools available including affordable spectrum analysis and RF filtering that will be must-haves in the RF toolkit moving forward as more wireless devices compete for less spectrum.

When I completed my resizing I opened up the file in Windows Media Player. It played back fine, but the little lever that moves along to the right while the video is playing...Sorry, I don't know the offcial name for it...started on the left and moved to the right in about a minute, which was odd because the file was over a GB in size and it should have at least taken an hour to move from the left to the right, normally.
The reason I'm interested in this, is that, like many people, I like to occasionally grab and drag the slider along close to the to the end to see if the entire file is there.
Incidentally I did get the whole file resized and it played back just fine in WinDVD. So I'm just wondering if this is the sort of behavior one might expect when trying to resize a file to a much larger resolution in AVIdemux.

New Issue Report: Edelweiss Auto Funding Ltd.
Today's rating action concludes Moody's review of Edelweiss Auto Funding Limited and takes into consideration the better-than-expected performance of the collateral and Austria's currently stable macroeconomic environment. The rating of the notes takes into account: (i) the credit quality of the underlying portfolio of auto-lease receivables, from which Moody's determined its cumulative default and recovery rate and volatility assumption; and (ii) the build-up of credit enhancement within the transaction structure. The rating also considers the transaction structure as assessed in Moody's cash flow analysis. The expected cumulative default rate and volatility are the two key parameters Moody's uses to calibrate its default-distribution curve, used in the cash-flow model to rate European ABS transactions.
Moody's has reassessed its cumulative default expectation of the pool in light of the better than expected performance.
The collateral performance trend is in line with Moody's stable sector outlook for German auto ABS (EMEA ABS, CMBS & RMBS Asset Performance Outlooks, July 2010). As of October 2010, 90+ day delinquencies on the current balance were 0.04% for Edelweiss Auto Funding. Over the past year, cumulative defaults reported as a percentage of the original total securitised pool balances marginally increased to 1.33% from 1.23%.
During the five-year replenishment period, the portfolio characteristics changed. The initial portfolio comprised 3.6% operating and 96.7% finance lease contracts granted to 33% individual and 67% corporate borrowers. In October 2010, the outstanding portfolio comprised almost 100% finance leases, with 50.8% of the contracts granted to individuals and 49.2% to corporate clients. At the same time, the average residual value for finance lease contracts increased to 63% from 26% due to outstanding lease-contract amortisation. Since closing, the number of borrowers reduced to 6,593 from approximately 16,000. This makes the outstanding portfolio more concentrated compared with other Moody's rated auto ABS lease transactions in Germany or Austria, where Moody's would expect the number of borrowers to be between 70,000 and 80,000. However, the exposure to the top lessee decreased to 0.18% in October 2010 from 0.4% at closing.
The analysis of cumulative default rates at closing found that corporate borrowers and operating lease contracts defaulted more frequently than individual borrowers or finance leases. This was also confirmed by the analysis of the transaction's actual default performance. However, compared with the original expectations, Moody's observed that cumulative defaults were at much lower levels than in its initial assumption.The higher debtor concentration -- together with the proportion of corporate borrowers -- led Moody's to complement its historical data analysis with a simplified SME approach, as it was able to rely on detailed lessee-outstanding lease amount data.Overall, Moody's considers that the current portfolio composition has improved and as a result, Moody's expects future cumulative defaults as a percentage of the remaining balances (as of October 2010) to be 2.7%. This translates into a revised cumulative default assumption of 1.55% of the total securitised assets, compared with 2.3% at closing.
Moody's maintains its original recovery rate of 50%, which is slightly lower than the observed recovery rate in the transaction since closing (55%, assuming no recovery lag). A rate of 50% takes into account the price volatility in secondary car markets that the transaction is exposed to, given the higher proportion of residual values in the outstanding portfolio.
In Moody's opinion, the portfolio characteristics -- together with the seasoning of the outstanding assets -- imply less volatility than assumed initially. Consequently, Moody's decreased the volatility to 55% from 75% at closing. Moody's understands volatility as the ratio of the standard deviation and the cumulative mean default rate assumptions of a portfolio.
The reserve fund in this transaction is currently at its target level. In April 2010, the reserve fund target level was increased to €6.6 million from €4.4 million due to the annualised loss ratio trigger being hit, exceeding the ratio of 0.6%. This trigger is cured if, for two consecutive quarters, the annualised loss ratio falls below 0.6%. In October 2010, this ratio was 0.21%.
Edelweiss Auto Funding Limited closed in 2003. The transaction was originated by EBV Leasing GmbH & Co.KG, a subsidiary of Erste Group Bank AG (Aa3/P-1). For details on the transactions' structures, please refer to the New Issue Reports available on www.moodys.com.
The principal methodologies used in this rating were "The Lognormal Approach applied to ABS Analysis," published in July 2000, "Revising Default/Loss Assumptions Over the Life of an ABS/RMBS Transaction," published in December 2008 and "Refining the ABS SME Approach: Moody's Probability of Default assumptions in the rating analysis of granular Small and Mid-sized Enterprise portfolios in EMEA," published in March 2009.
Moody's used its excel based cash-flow model Moody's ABSROM™ as part of its quantitative analysis of the transaction. Moody's ABSROM™ model enables users to model various features of a standard European ABS transaction -- including the specifics of the loss distribution of the assets, their portfolio amortisation profile, yield, or recoveries and replenishments during the revolving period, as well as the specific priority of payments, triggers, swaps and reserve funds on the liability side of the ABS structure. Moody's ABSROM™ User Guide, available on Moody's website, covers the functionality of the model and provides a comprehensive index of the user inputs and outputs.
The combination of the key updated assumptions together with the current credit enhancement levels resulted in the upgrades of the rated junior note for the transaction. Moody's analysed various sensitivities of cumulative default rates to test the robustness of its revised ratings. For instance, Moody's observed that the quantitative/model-indicated rating outcome of the class B notes would remain consistent with the revised rating if the mean default assumptions increased up to 60% of its revised value (4.3% vs 2.7% base case assumption). Moody's also run sensitivities on its base case recovery rate with the result that the revised rating could sustain a fall in recoveries by 50% (25% vs 50% base case assumption).


There is no doubt that iconic cultural buildings contribute greatly to a region's economy. Obviously the best example is Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum, without doubt the main attraction of Bilbao, that has reversed the economic fortunes of the once struggling city to become a thriving tourist destination. In this issue we cover some more stunning cultural buildings that hope to reach iconic status and so put their cities on the map. Hamburg, Dubai, Córdoba and Évry all hope to benefit from the stunning new cultural centres that have been created in their cities. Of course, lighting design plays a huge part in the success of these buildings and we have covered the lighting schemes comprehensively in this issue. We hope you enjoy.

Kenyan YouTube star says British company copyright claimed his national anthem
It's another copyright controversy for YouTube.
Josh Katzowitz
Published Feb 6, 2019 Updated May 20, 2021, 7:47 pm CDT
YouTubers have howled in protest lately because companies and people have falsely taken their revenue by claiming a copyright on content they produced. But the latest news from Kenya seems outrageous.
Earlier this week, a YouTuber named 2nacheki, who has more than 217,000 subscribers, said a recent video of his that featured the top 10 national anthems of Africa was copyright claimed by a British music company. De Wolfe Music Company claimed it held the copyright on Kenya's national anthem, meaning the money 2nacheki earned on his video would go to De Wolfe.
2nacheki disputed the claim, but that oftentimes leads a YouTuber nowhere since the person or company who made the copyright claim then gets to decide whether to grant the appeal.
2nacheki said he believed Kenya's national anthem was in the public domain, but after investigating the matter, he said he discovered De Wolfe claimed to own a version of it.
"Why would such a company own it?" he asked in a new video uploaded after his top 10 list vlog had been claimed. "A Kenyan YouTuber can not make money out of it, and it's claiming that the Kenyan national anthem that a Kenyan is using to critique and educate other Kenyans and Africans belongs to them. [De Wolfe] is currently taking revenue, running ads on the video, and is taking revenue from the national anthem of Kenya."
The Kenya Copyright Board responded to that video on Twitter, saying the anthem was in the public domain after 50 years of holding its copyright (the anthem was adopted in 1963). But it also said the country had laws to protect the anthem against "misuse and improper use." It said De Wolfe's claim could not be supported.
Copyright claims on Kenya National Anthem by Dewolfe Music and others are invalid. We are working to remedy this situation. pic.twitter.com/EUJPEdgeg5
— Kenya Copyright Board (@KenyaCopyright) February 5, 2019
De Wolfe told Nairobi News that it did not own the anthem and that the company that claimed 2nacheki's video on De Wolfe's behalf was mistaken.
"We do not own, or claim to own, the copyright to the Kenyan National Anthem, most National anthems are non copyright and are in the public domain, due either to their age, or by legislation making national symbols copyright-free," De Wolfe said, via the Kenyan news outlet. "We have a sound recording of this work but we do not claim any other ownership and have never copyrighted ownership of the composition as this in the public domain."
De Wolfe also released the claim on YouTube, according to 2nacheki.

— 2nacheki – Africa News Ent & Lists (@2nacheki) February 6, 2019
It's yet another example of a third party falsely copyright claiming a YouTuber's content. It's affected well-known YouTubers including TheFatRat, AngryJoeShow, Smelly Octopus, Star Wars Theory, and Dash Cam Owners Australia. Most recently, two gaming YouTube channels were given copyright strikes by an outside party and extorted to prevent the deletion of their channels.
YouTube, which did not immediately respond to a Daily Dot request for comment on Wednesday, employs teams who are dedicated to stopping copyright claim abuse, and it's banned hundreds of people and companies from doing so. But if the past few months are any indication, it seems likely that this issue will continue to frustrate those who are making content—and expect to make money from it—on YouTube.

# joined up thinking
'It's a massive toll, let's manage our expectations on how often we expect them to do it'
'We're still chasing rest,' says Jason Cowman, who oversees the running of the IRFU's player management programme.
THE DUST HAS long settled on Ireland's Grand Slam season and the provinces are in full swing for the new campaign.
Almost all of the star names who made the difference in Twickenham, won in Australia or lifted silverware for Leinster are back in their boots and playing meaningful matches again.
As November approaches though, fans will undoubtedly see instances where their province must choose between selecting their recognisable strongest XV for the upcoming inter-provincial derbies or saving them for a European clash.
In its simplest form, the IRFU's player management programme is a limiter on match minutes for around 90 professionals on this island.
In the Aviva Stadium yesterday, the union's head of strength and conditioning Jason Cowman explained the thought process behind the programme. In his presentation, Cowman included a sample slide where one player among a long list had fallen foul of the spreadsheet formula and turned to red the cell containing his minutes played.
As a rule of thumb, Cowman splits the season into three phases — from September kick-off to November, November to Six Nations and Six Nations to the season's end — for each player, staff determine an ideal workload for that player in a given season and the allotted minutes are then spread over the three phases.
Cowman admits that minutes are not necessarily the most scientific measure of player efforts given the speed and impact data that can be tracked on GPS. However, he adds, "it's the most common language. And matches require the most recovery from after exposure."
Inpho / Billy Stickland Inpho / Billy Stickland / Billy Stickland
Ordinarily, players will not reach the red flag point. Having put time and effort into determining the theoretically perfect workload with consideration for medical history, training age, previous season's workloads and position leading to a number of minutes somewhere in the region of 1800 to 2100 minutes. That would equate to 22-26 full 80-minute matches in a season.
Of course, the spreadsheet doesn't determine all in the player management programme, once the plan is laid out, there are continual discussions to be had around where a player can be made available for his provincial coach.
Morgan Treacy / INPHO Morgan Treacy / INPHO / INPHO
"I'd go to Joe, we'd then go to fitness coaches around the country and talk about what we'd consider good rationale for each player.
"Joe would do the same with the coaches, he'd have conversations around the rationale of starting a player at this time, for this amount of games, whatever it may be.
"Every single week there is ongoing conversation. A coach might say he'll shift a player this way or that way. Joe and the coach will have a conversation and come up with what's best for the player, the team and Ireland."
"I might say four weeks out from the end of phase one: 'hey, this guy's red, or he's going to be red if he plays the next three games, what's the plan'.
"(The response comes) 'Oh I spoke to the coach, he's not going to play this weekend'.

The majority of players in the country won't be involved in international rugby of course. The structure and schedule of the Pro14 means that natural breaks built into the season. Invariably, those gaps are filled by Test matches though, so Cowman and the IRFU must 'fabricate' those rest windows for the contingent of internationals.
Frikkie Kapp / INPHO Frikkie Kapp / INPHO / INPHO
"It's like anything, if there are seven days in a week, we work for five and rest for two so that we can regenerate and rest so that we can be as productive the following week. We're making sure they get degrees of rest throughout the season so they can perform when we want them to perform."
"They get a four-week extended period (off-season) at the end of the summer tour and then they come in to play in (Pro14) round two. By right, they should be playing in round four, basic sums tells you. But they come in week two or three and they'll all be playing by week four.
"They have two weeks off during the Six Nations. But they're goosed, they've had two Test matches in a row and they're absolutely shot in that third week.
"That's why we dump in a regeneration week after the November Series and a week after the Six Nations, when their workload has been the most significant and they've been in a high-stress period.
That's why around Christmas we give them a period off, we give them a week off at the end of November and at the end of the Six Nations. But to be honest, we're still chasing rest. They still don't get the same degree of rest as the other guys while being expected to perform in bigger games, more intensity and higher expectations."
In a World Cup year, Cowman is acutely aware of the Test match toll that awaits the players under his watch in Japan. The turnaround times between pool matches roll off his tongue.
"Seven, six, five-day turnaround," he says wearily before he questions the limitation of 31 players in a World Cup squad.
On their own tours (with considerably shorter schedules) the IRFU travel with a minimum of 32 players, and even then injuries will dictate that 15-on-15 training sessions are difficult to put together.
Bryan Keane / INPHO Bryan Keane / INPHO / INPHO
"We'll utilise the 31 players who will travel, but it would be great to have 34.
"If we're serious about managing resources, why is it 31?"
Cowman is certainly serious about managing Ireland's playing resources and throughout his time yesterday he returned to point out the effort levels being put in by internationals in the most punishing of environments.
"It's a massive toll. Out of respect for the effort, let's manage our expectations around how often we expect them to do it."

Understanding the AAPI Community and Combatting Hate
Jun 1, 2021 Curated Article | GlobalGiving
Abraham Kim, Executive Director at the Council of Korean Americans (CKA), calls for allyship and advocacy in the face of AAPI violence and hate.
What role can donors play in combating racism and violence against AAPI communities?
Learn more about AAPI investment from philanthropy.
After seeing what can happen when people are divided and disengaged, Abraham started bridging those gaps in his Korean American community. He reflects on how far they've come and what still needs to be done.
One of the challenges we face as Asian Americans is that our immigration history goes back more than a hundred years. Our forefathers immigrated here many decades ago, and many of us were born here. Yet, when people see an Asian face, they assume that we are foreigners or have allegiance to other countries.
We are all actively engaged in building a better society in this country.
Asian Americans are often perceived as a highly successful group, but that image masks many of the challenges and hardships that our community faces. We have a huge elderly population that lives close to or below the poverty level without proper healthcare. At all education levels, Asian Americans are paid less than their counterparts.
I think it is important to understand that there are similarities and differences between the various Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. The AAPI community is not a monolith and is diverse.
We share common experiences coming as immigrants to the United States and pursuing opportunities that freedom, hard work, and a diverse society offer. However, each community has differing cultures, languages, history, and circumstances why immigration occurred. I think appreciating these underlying cultures and the dynamics between communities is important to serving the AAPI communities. Each community's unique voice offers richness to the United States.
One thing I admire about the Korean American and Asian American communities is the resilience and grit of our people. Despite challenges and hardship, our people have sacrificed and survived through it all. We are a community that cares for one another and strives to innovate, prosper, and give back.
The recent violence has confirmed the important work of advocacy, education, and bridge-building that we do as an organization. It has also shifted our focus to areas that we need to address within our own community.

9 Questions on Artificial Intelligence for Wealth Management - Wealth Management Today
#artificialintelligence Oct-3-2017, 01:45:06 GMT
"I believe that by the end of the century, the use of words will have been altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted." The foundation of AI started back in 1950 when scientist Alan Turing published a seminal paper containing a description of what is now referred to as the "Turing Test" which is designed to determine if a machine can think. A group of scientists got together at Dartmouth College a few years later and coined the term "artificial intelligence". Fast forward to this year and a panel discussion at the Invest 2017 Conference held in New York City on the ability of AI to revolutionize wealth management. Implementing AI technology is an offensive move all the way, Clinc's Mars stated.

#artificialintelligence Mar-10-2021, 19:35:23 GMT
Derek Bruton has held leadership roles across major custodial firms and independent broker-dealers, including Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade and LPL Financial, but he didn't start out in wealth management. The Stanford graduate from the class of 1989 played professional basketball in Japan his first few years after school, after playing on his college basketball team for four years on an athletic scholarship. "I recall two things about my first game, in Hokkaido, which is the northern-most Japanese island" he said. "The gym was ice cold, and when I was warming up there was steam coming off of everyone's body." Bruton, who now serves as CEO of Kingswood US, a hybrid RIA and broker-dealer with over $2.1 billion in assets, sees parallels between his basketball stint in a foreign country learning the ropes in real time on how to best integrate with his teammates and the complexities of aligning the right wealthtech for financial advisors.

7 Ways Wealthtech is Digitizing Wealth Management
"Customer experience is chief among the areas where traditional financial institutions have fallen short. Not long ago, wealth management was considered a service almost exclusively confined to the affluent. With their millions at the ready, wealthy investors could use wealth managers to provide a range of tailored investment-related services, and those services would normally come at a high price. But these days, such a perception of wealth management is becoming old, or simply not accurate. Innovation broke down those barriers of exclusivity, enabling services that were previously only accessible to the privileged few to be in the hands of the masses of ordinary investors. Wealthtech falls under fintech as a segment which specifically focuses on technology that aims to transform wealth management and retail investment. It involves the application of digital solutions to wealth management, ultimately providing new channels to deliver more efficient, cost-effective and efficient ...

All Robo Advisors You Have To Know In Switzerland
Robo advisors, a class of financial advisor that provide financial advice or investment management online with moderate to minimal human intervention, are growing in popularity. These provide digital financial advice based on mathematical rules or algorithms to automatically allocate, manage and optimize clients' assets. This allows these companies to provide more affordable and accessible services. Unlike conventional asset management services which require large amounts of investment capital, digital asset management services can be obtained starting with much lower investment capital, sometimes only a few hundred bucks, other times, a few thousands. The robo advisor develops a personalized portfolio for clients and then monitors it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What is Mewing? Instruction, explanation, meaning, definition
Translated, mewing means the meowing of a cat. This beauty trend is currently spreading via TikTok and is supposed to provide a firmer chin area. The hashtag has already reached more than two billion views and users are happy to have finally discovered a way to a tighter chin. But this does not require constant meowing – as might be assumed. Rather, certain movement techniques are used here that can define the jawline and chin area.
Where does Mewing come from? Origin, History
The term Mewing can be modified from the inventor of this technique. This movement technique was invented by an orthodontist named Dr. John Mew. However, the technique became famous only through his son Dr. Mike Mew. In fact, he first let videos about this technique go viral in 2012 to reach the public.
If you look around on the young orthodontist's You Tube channel, you will find quite a few such videos. And videos are posted not only about Mewing, but also about many other orthodontic treatments. Often, his father also plays a major role in the videos. Then in 2018, Dr. Mike Mew claimed on his video channel to have been expelled from the British Orthodontic Society. The reason for this, he said, was his presence on social media channels. Inquiries to the orthodontic society as to whether this was true were not answered by the society. One refers here in particular also to the data protection guidelines. However, an official spokesperson for the society pointed out that the society is entitled to expel a member if he or she is not acting in the general interest.
How does Mewing work? Instructions
The new beauty trend is a technique that involves pressing the tongue against the bottom of the mouth as many times as possible. The result of this is said to be that the teeth realign, giving better definition to the jawline.
Here's how Mewing works:
First, the mouth is kept completely relaxed.
Then, the tongue is pressed very slightly upward against the wall and held flat against the roof of the mouth.
Care should be taken to ensure that the tongue is loose, flat against the palate and not pressing against the teeth.
Now a slight pressure should be felt all over the jaw.
This posture should be maintained as often as possible.
Advocates of the mewing trend claim that it takes a lot of practice to consistently maintain this tongue position in everyday life. Over time, however, the mouth will adapt to this position and remember to place the tongue in the mewing position quite unconsciously.
Advocates of the mewing trend even recommend maintaining the meow position permanently for optimal results, even when hydrated.
Does mewing really work?
Whether the mewing trend is a reputable technique to tighten the chin area remains doubtful. There is no evidence of effectiveness so far. Of course, one can find numerous positive testimonials from laymen on the Internet.
However, the effectiveness of Mewing has not yet been scientifically proven. In addition, possible consequences of Mewing, such as jaw tension, should not be disregarded. These, too, have not yet been thoroughly researched. However, the biggest concern about this technique is that the inventor of Mewing has been excluded by the relevant dental health authority.
Conclusion on Mewing
The new beauty trend of Mewing is not necessarily a questionable or dangerous technique, yet this technique has not yet been properly researched to substantiate the claims. Mewing and other adult orthotropics have seen a huge online surge in recent years. Whether all these products are a guarantee of a defined chin area remains questionable.
For those who want to try the Mewing, don't let it stop you. However, complete posture is part of a healthy well-being. This is probably how you achieve higher health benefits rather than simply defeating your vanity.
However, anyone who has concerns regarding speech, jaw line or other symptoms should first see a doctor to discuss this technique of mewing. Also, if pain in the jawline or cosmetic changes occur during the mewing technique, these should be discussed with the doctor.
