In 1847, Walter and Thomas Monteith arrived on the future site of Albany and purchased the Smead claim for $400, as well as an adjacent claim. Town lots were laid out on a portion of claims on the east bank of the Willamette River, just below the mouth of the Calapooia River and a new town had been founded. The city was named Albany, after the Monteith's home state capitol, Albany, New York.
In 1849, the Monteiths built Albany's first frame house, which still stands at 518 Second Avenue S.W. as a museum open to the public.
In 1850, Abram Hackleman, son of Abner Hackleman, laid out 70 acres on the east side of Albany for future development.
The California Stage Company, the first major coachline in the west, began operation in Oregon in 1860 with coaches leaving daily from Portland to Sacramento. Albany was a stopover point in Linn County before proceeding southward. The first coach from Portland arrived in Sacramento six days and five hours later. Each coach carried 19 passengers, one driver and the mail. Four-horse teams were used in the summer and six-horse teams in the winter. The 710-mile route was the longest in the nation. A fare from Portland to Albany was ten dollars.
Steamboats brought the farmers and townspeople the necessities of life and enhanced prosperity in Albany. Boats running upstream carried mail, sheep, cattle, kerosene and everyday items for the farms, homes and mills. Many products such as flour, woolen goods and pottery went downstream to be shipped off to market. The first steamboat in Albany, the "Multnomah," had been built in New York City, shipped in pieces around Cape Horn, and reassembled in Oregon City. In 1870, a person could travel to Portland by steamboat for one dollar.
In 1871, the first locomotive whistle was heard in Albany. Albany businessmen raised $50,000 to ensure that the rails would come through their city, instead of bypassing it a few miles eastward. The train brought the farmers' markets close as stagecoaches and steamboats gave way to the railroad. The world's longest wooden railroad drawbridge was built in 1888 for the Albany-Corvallis run. By 1910, 28 passenger trains departed daily from Albany going in five different directions.
Albany became the manufacturing and transportation hub of the Willamette Valley. Foundries, blacksmith shops, furniture factories, tanneries, a bag factory, carriage factories, flour and flax mills, a twine factory, creameries and sawmills supplied local farmers and processed their crops. Flour, grain and produce were shipped by river and rail to Portland and points east.
The city grew and prospered at a slow and steady pace. Each year, houses and commercial buildings were built in styles fashionable at the time. New industry moved to the outskirts, the main highway bypassed the downtown and post-World War II housing developed outside the original core of the city, leaving the old downtown and residential neighborhoods almost intact.
Today Albany is credited by historians and architects with having the most varied collection of historic buildings in Oregon. This collection includes styles from the 1840s through the 1920s and is concentrated within an area of approximately 100 square blocks. Three Albany Historic Districts are listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
The Oregon Legislature chartered the Albany Collegiate Institute in February 1867 and Albany residents raised $8,000 in cash and promissory notes to erect a building for the school on land donated by Thomas and Walter Monteith. Rev. William Monteith became the first president of Albany College and 86 students enrolled in 1869. Four women comprised the first graduating class in 1873.
In 1905, the college purchased 46 acres on the edge of town for a new campus. Beset by the Great Depression, in 1934 the trustees authorized class offerings in the Portland area. The last class graduated from the Albany campus in 1938. The campus was sold to the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
In 1941, Albany College became Lewis & Clark College and moved to the campus on Southwest Palatine Road, Portland. Today, Lewis & Clark College is the state's largest private college with 1,600 undergraduates and over 1,100 graduate students in law, education, counseling psychology, and other programs.
The college affirms its history and its presence in Albany. Albany Hall, a quadrangle of buildings on the campus, speaks to that heritage. The college also has the original foundation cornerstone of the Albany Collegiate Institute, the brass keys to the building's doors, the original cash box, and many other historical objects, documents, and photographs related to its origins in Albany.

Special attention is directed at areas in which we are aware of consistent traffic problems and issues that require attention, as well as in areas in which we receive complaints and concerns from our community regarding traffic problems. Although we have a dedicated Traffic Safety Bureau, much of our education and enforcement comes from the officers assigned to our Patrol Services Bureau, who are patrolling our streets 24/7 to enforce the Vehicle & Traffic Law, investigate motor vehicle crashes, assist disabled motorists, and provide many other professional services.
Our Traffic Safety Bureau is responsible to support our initiatives by creating and implementing aggressive traffic safety program that work to save lives, reduce injuries, and save motorists millions of dollars otherwise expended as a result of highway crashes.
At the end of the day, our goal is to provide safe and efficient roadway system for the people we serve.
Pedestrian Safety in the Village of Ridgewood has always been a concern, thus it has become one of the primary areas that the Police Department's Traffic Safety Bureau has focused on. In order to provide for the safety of the public we serve, the Traffic Safety Bureau coordinates with the Village Engineering Department, as well as the Citizen Safety Advisory Council to come up with solutions to the on-going issues the Village has faced with pedestrian safety.
Over the past several years lighting in the Central Business District has improved, enforcement activities have increased, more noticeable and apparent crosswalks have been installed and public education on pedestrian safety has gone up. We feel that this approach has been successful so far, and can attribute our approach to a decrease in pedestrian related incidents in our CBD.
Physical changes help but are only part of the equation. Educating pedestrians and the motorists is paramount. We have been doing this with programs such as endorsing the Stop Look Be Seen Be Safe program in the schools and the pedestrian decoy program where officers in plain clothes enter crosswalks to ensure motorist compliance. Below are New Jersey laws and some safety tips from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety.

75 Years Of Storied History – The Haggin Oaks Golf Complex Story
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009
If the century-old heritage oaks at The Haggin Oaks Golf Complex could talk, they'd tell remarkable tales of players who have become household names in the golf world and once teed it up at this Alister MacKenzie masterpiece – names like Sam Snead, Jimmy Demaret, Toney Penna, Walter Hagen, Al Geiberger, & George Archer.
Haggin Oaks is the track where the legendary Ben Hogan won his first professional check–$350.00 for third place– in the 1938 Sacramento Open. Gene Sarazen, The Squire himself played here in the 1935 Sacramento Open, finishing eighth and taking home $72.00 for his efforts. Since its inception in 1932, Haggin Oaks has played host to dozens of PGA professionals like Bill Glasson, Natalie Gulbis, Annika Sorenstram, Jim Dent, Johnny Miller and Bob Murphy have contributed to the storied history here. Ken Venturi won the 1950 California State Fair Championship here before going on to win 14 times on the PGA tour and moving on to the broadcast booth. Even the great Byron Nelson participated in the Sacramento Open at Haggin Oaks. 2008 is 75 years of storied history that continues to unfold and build with each passing year.
But the fantastic history of Haggin Oaks is made even better by the non-professional celebrities who have taken part in one or more of the myriad charity events and clinics hosted at the Haggin Oaks complex where the focus is as much on community and player development as it is on championship golf. Over the years, stars like Bing Crosby, Babe Ruth and Bob Hope have contributed to the celebrity while teachers like Hank Haney and Butch Harmon have helped thousands of students learn the game of golf.
Today, the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex boasts two championship golf courses, a world-class teaching facility with over 15 golf professionals, more than 10 different junior, senior, group and private programs and a 100 stall, lighted driving range that includes over 100 stalls five practice greens and two bunkers. The driving range at Haggin Oaks is so popular that it stays open 24-hours-a-day during summer hours.
In keeping with the traditions of growing the game and providing the best learning environment for players of all levels, Haggin Oaks offers a more flexible, beginner-friendly golf course in the Arcade Creek layout. Here players can choose to play nine or 18 holes and are treated to a golf experience that provides fewer hazards and less difficulty than the championship, Alister MacKenzie course.
In addition to the inviting nature of the Arcade Creek layout, the complex provides a three hole academy site for use with the First Tee Program, the Special Olympics and other special programs designed specifically for golfers with disabilities.
The clubhouse and facilities at Haggin Oaks also include the largest and best-stocked pro shop in the United States. The pro shop has won numerous awards including the coveted Golf World Top Public Golf Shop Award. The pro shop offers hundreds of brands and the newest and best club-fitting available through the almost-a-year-old Players Performance Studio.
MacKenzie's Sports Bar and Grille makes for a great place to host your outing or event. With over 15 beers on tap and 10 flat screen TV's, Mackenzie's is a sure hit with all the sports fans. You can come in for traditional sports pub fare and enjoy the view of the course after your round.
Also available for weddings and corporate outings, The Haggin Oaks Pavilion, and beautifully constructed Gazebo, set against the Alister MacKenzie Golf Course, has occupancy 250 people for inside seating and 144 for outside seating among the beautiful oak trees.
The history, the dedication to the game, the incredible wealth of knowledge that make up the framework at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex all combine to ensure that golfers will walk in the steps of champions–former and future! The special focus and ingenuity displayed by the staff and management team at Haggin Oaks guarantees that anyone who wants to learn the game, gain from its past and grow with its future, will get that chance.

TikTok Is Your Free Secret Weapon To Increase Market Reach
Learn how this social media platform can help your company go viral
D. A. Romo 3 months ago Andrea Okeke Anna Obrien Apps business Facebook Gen Z Millennials Money social media staff Technology Teens TikTok Twitter Work YouTube
With the rising popularity of streaming services among teens, it seems the days of traditional television commercials may be ending. Thankfully, for marketers, the omnipresence of social media still guarantees a way to reach younger demographics. TikTok is a new app that is dominating the social media industry. With it, users can create 15 – 60 second videos to share among friends. Not only is TikTok the perfect way to reach teens, it is also a promising free way to increase market reach.
TikTok the #1 Downloaded App
Since its international launch in 2017, TikTok has taken social media over by storm. Despite being created in China, it is most popular among teens in America. The app reports to have 500M active users a month, surpassing Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn in that regard. Even Snapchat, which was once the most popular app for teens, has fallen behind at 310.7M monthly users.
TikTok user videos
Currently, TikTok ranks as the 5th most popular app in user activity. The other top four apps are Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Qzone. However, TikTok recently became the #1 downloaded free app worldwide. How did they manage this swift maneuver? In November 2017, TikTok's parent company ByteDance bought a lip synching app known as Musical.ly. After incorporating it into TikTok in August 2018, users fell in love with the ability to create short videos using a wide range of songs and filters. Whereas other social media platforms cater to painting life in perfect light, TikTok is all about creating wacky videos.
Marketing to Young Demographics
TikTok content creator Andrea Okeke says, "Once they see your video is your authentic self having fun, people love that because it's a place to just escape." Okeke is one of the app's most popular creators with a current following of 3 million users.

Anna O'Brien, another of the app's most popular users, claims TikTok is changing marketing because it speaks to a brand of authenticity. Going against society's standards and presenting an authentic self is very important to Gen Z. Studies show that people born after 1997 are easily affected by depression due to the pressure of gaining online popularity. Because of TikTok, kids now see that it's okay not to be perfect. O'Brien says, "The size of the body, the color of skin, how we live does not matter. We teach kids, they can be what they want to be. The 15 seconds of my life is improving the 24 hours of someone else."

In order to connect with younger consumers, companies have to change the way they market themselves. This includes branching out into platforms like TikTok and showing they can be relatable. Apps that were once looked down upon by older generations are now becoming essential to a company's relevancy.
How to Use TikTok to Expand Your Business
TikTok app
TikTok and ByteDance have been raking in the money with advertisement deals. Because of its success, ByteDance is now the most valuable startup in the world at $75B. Even the NFL is cashing in on the TikTok trend with a multi-year partnership. But you don't need to need to spend money on advertisements to expand your business. All you need to do is create a video that goes viral.
If you want to go viral on TikTok, you have to find a popular hashtag or challenge and make your own interpretation. If users like what they see, they are more likely to engage with your content. Just like Instagram, TikTok presents users with a recommendations page based on previous videos they've liked or commented on. However, TikTok's AI system completely dictates what appears on a user's timeline. If you like a certain video, you will see more of that user's content. If you swipe away too quickly, you're less likely to see that user again.
While making videos yourself is one option, you can also hire a content creator for brand deals. If you do hire a creator, O'Brien and Okeke say it's best to let the creator's have control over the content. This is the only way to ensure the message stays authentic and can truly connect with audiences.
Who Uses TikTok?
With teens making up 16% of the world's population, there's no denying that getting your business involved in TikTok is a smart move to capture this demographic. However, teens are not the only ones using the app. According to Global Web Index, only 41% of users on TikTok are between 16-24 years old. In the U.S., 25.8% of users are 18-24, while 44.8% are between the ages of 25-44. As you can see, TikTok is growing fast. If you act quickly, your audience reach can grow along with it.
What do you think about the use of TikTok as a marketing tool? Let us know down in the comments.

Klopp spent just two days working on Liverpool's fab four unleashed against Man City
Manchester City v Liverpool
The Reds boss has revealed that he left it late to piece together an adventurous starting XI that secured a hard-fought point at the Etihad Stadium
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he spent just two days working on the front four approach that left many observers surprised in the Reds' trip to Manchester City.
Much of the build-up to a heavyweight Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium had been dominated by a supposed selection poser that pitted Roberto Firmino against Diogo Jota.
Liverpool's established No.9 has been struggling for a spark of late, putting his position under threat from a summer signing that has hit the ground running at Anfield.
Many had Jota getting the nod for a meeting with City, but Klopp had other ideas and opted to field an even more adventurous staring XI against fellow title hopefuls.
That decision paid off as the Reds burst out of the blocks and into an early lead, but they did tire as the game went on and – after seeing Kevin De Bruyne miss a penalty for the Blues – were happy to make the short journey back to Merseyside with a 1-1 draw.
Klopp told Liverpool's official website of tweaking his approach and taking a point: "Top game. Top, top level [from] both teams. Energy level outstanding from both teams, two really good football-playing sides battle against each other. It was outstandingly interesting to watch.
"I loved our start, obviously we played a different system and you saw that in the game - in moments we had still to adapt to it. We had two days' time to work on it, we did that but in the end, under pressure from a proper opponent, it's slightly different. But the boys did incredibly well, I liked really a lot of situations, a lot of football parts, how we defended City was really good.
"They had their 10 minutes when we weren't as compact as necessary after the quick start. That's where they came back, that's the quality of City, but then it was again equal or level or whatever you want. So, I'm really fine with a point."
Defending champions Liverpool have positioned themselves among the early frontrunners in 2020-21, and have arguably their toughest test out of the way after getting through a trip to the Etihad, but Klopp is eager to point out that there is still a long way to go.
The German added with 30 Premier League games still to take in and trophy bids to be sustained across multiple competitions: "Look, in the Premier League all opponents are tricky to play, unbelievable, so I don't make really these kind of assumptions or think, 'OK, we played them already and we played them already'.
"We have to play them again and wherever it is it will be difficult. It's a tough period and for the boys it just goes on. They go now and play two, some of them three, games for their national teams and yeah, it's a tough time.
"That's why we have to make sure with the boys [that] we give them time, at least a few days when we can do it, to recover. Apart from that, the boys were ready to go again [against City] and I couldn't be more happy about that."
Liverpool will return to action after the international break with a home date against table-topping Leicester on November 21.

August Meteor Shower Will Be 'A Great Show'
By Robert Roy Britt
The annual Perseid meteor shower is expected to put on a great show this year, peaking in mid-August with a display of dozens of shooting stars each hour.
The Moon will be out of the way, leaving dark skies for good viewing as Earth plunges through an ancient stream of comet debris. Little bits, most no larger than sand grains, will vaporize in Earth's atmosphere, creating sometimes-dramatic "shooting stars."
"It's going to be a great show," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. "The Moon is new on August 12, which means no moonlight, dark skies and plenty of meteors."
This year the Perseid meteor shower could deliver one or two visible streaks every minute during peak times, Cooke said in a statement yesterday. Urban skywatchers will see fewer due to local light pollution.
The meteors in this shower all appear to emanate from the constellation Perseus. The best times to watch will be late night Aug. 12 through dawn Aug. 13.
"The August Perseids are among the strongest of the readily observed annual meteor showers, and at maximum activity nominally yield 90 or 100 meteors per hour," said Joe Rao, SPACE.com's Skywatching columnist. "However, observers with exceptional skies often record even larger numbers."
Observing tips
To see the show, one need only find a comfortable spot with a clear view of the northeast horizon, away from local lights. A dark rural location is best. Lie back on a blanket or lounge chair and scan the entire sky. In the late evening, starting around 9 p.m. local time, sharp-eyed observers might see "earthgrazing" meteors that skim the northeast horizon.
"Earthgrazers are long, slow and colorful," Cooke said. "They are among the most beautiful of meteors." But don't expect more than a handful in an hour, he said.
Later and during the overnight hours, the shooting stars will be higher in the sky as Perseus rises. Some skywatchers enjoy counting the number of meteors they see per minute, per hour or during a 15-minute interval and comparing notes.
Telescopes and binoculars are no help, as the meteors move too swiftly and are best observed with the naked eye.
The cosmic rivers of debris have been laid down for millennia by the comet Swift-Tuttle, which passes through the inner solar system every 130 years. Perseid meteoroids are exceptionally fast, entering Earth's atmosphere at roughly 133,200 mph (60 kilometers per second) relative to the planet, slamming into the air like bugs hitting a windshield.

In February 2010 a group of modern day conservatives headed by Edwin Meese, former U.S. Attorney General under President Reagan published the Mount Vernon Statement. The phrase Constitutional conservatism is based on the following principles.
I cannot imagine any of my friends and associates being against any of these principles except to say I am in favor of free enterprise in free market solutions. The market must be free; free from too much governmental interference and free from control by monopolies and oligopolies. The argument will be in the details.I don't hear any of the signers of the Mount Vernon Statement demanding that free markets be protected from the tyranny of monopolies and oligopolies. In 1776, the same year in which this country was founded, Adam Smith wrote his book Wealth of Nation. in which he discussed free markets.
His definition was that it was in the common good that markets should be kept free where many producers are looking out for their rational self interest by providing the best products available and the lowest prices possible. In turn, in these free markets their would be many consumers looking out for their rational sefl-interest by buying the best products at the lowest prices from the most efficient producers. If a producer cannot compete, he will be out of business.
The problem in today's markets is that many of them are not free. There are not many producers and therefore their rational self interest is not always the pursuit of offering the best products at the lowest cost possible. If you are the only producer of guplas and there is an unlimited demand for guplas you are going to raise your prices to the point of where the demand is limited to the amount that you can presently produce. In addition you are going to do everything in your power to prevent anyone else from producing guplas. This is what would be in your rational self interest.
Over the last four decades many corporations have managed to control major industries and thus destroying free markets. Monopolies and oligopolies are as much or more of a villain to free markets as is government. A good example of this is the auto industry.
In the 1950's the American auto industry began to form an oligopoly between General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and the UAW. The rest of the world was in shambles because of World War II and therefore could not complete. The domestic auto industry began to lose focus on producing the best cars at the lowest possible price because it was in their rational self interest to keep the oligopoly alive, lower quality standards and raise prices. This worked fine for the industry until foreign competition became stronger and the end result was that in 2008 the auto industry was in near collapse and had to be bailed out by the government.
Today the banking industry, health insurance industry, Wall Street and others are dominated by oligopolies. Where are the signers of the Mount Vernon Statement fighting against the tyranny within our "free markets".
Even Milton Friedman, the great conservative economist, recognized that government needed to play a role in our free market system. That role is one of an umpire or referee. so that a small group of companies are not able to destroy free markets.
I am all in favor of free markets. Let's fight hard to keep them free of too much government intervention and too much control by a handful of powerful companies.


Reuters has today published a profile on Apple CEO Tim Cook, detailing how his 'no-nonsense' leadership style has changed Apple in the last two years. He is credited for being more methodical than the late Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder and CEO who resigned because of his declining health in August of 2011, allowing Cook to take over.
Tim Cook is also believed to be more socially concerned than Jobs, as shown by his stance on improving factory working conditions in China. But at the same time, he can also be hard on his employees and push them to perfection like Jobs did. He sits in on meetings, practically unreadable and silent, sitting quietly with his hands held together. "He could skewer you with a sentence," an anonymous source told Reuters.
Apple CEO has also got a vote of confidence this month when activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed he had amassed a large position in Apple stock.


In honor of Sports Coast to Coast's expansion of the forums to include Spokane based teams, we've provided the 2015-16 regular season schedule for the Spokane Chiefs. The Chiefs play in the U.S. Division of the WHL's Western Conference. The U.S. Division features the 5 teams from the United States and consists of the Everett Silvertips, Portland Winterhawks, Seattle Thunderbirds, and Tri-City Americans.
The Chiefs will begin the 2015-16 campaign at home against Tri-City on Bud Light Opening Night, Saturday, September 26 at Spokane Arena. The season opener at home will mark the first time since the 2000-01 season that Spokane will begin the season at home (which happened to be against Tri-City). The game will also be the 11th consecutive year that Spokane's first home game is against Tri-City. It will also be the 5th consecutive season which the Chiefs begin their season with a game versus the Americans. Spokane has an 8-1-0-1 record in their last 10 home openers and an overall 20-9-0-1 in home openers.
After the home opener against the Ams, the Chiefs will play six consecutive road games. 12 of their first 18 games will be on the road, including the infamous Eastern Conference swing where the Chiefs will visit 4 of the 6 teams in the Central Division.
In addition to Bud Light Opening Night, popular promotions of past years will be back, including the 5th annual Leinenkugel's Hocktoberfest & Leavenworth Weekend Giveaway on October 17. It will feature an Oktoberfest themed fan festival outside the Spokane Arena that starts at 4 p.m., 3 hours before puck drop. Fans will have a chance to win a weekend getaway to the German themed tourist town of Leavenworth, WA, courtesy of Leinenkugel's. There will also be a silent auction featuring Chiefs memorabilia.
On November 14, the Chiefs will host Coeur D'Alene Casino Native American Night, featuring a special pre-game ceremony to honor local Native American heritage. There will also be a Jersey Off the Back live auction during intermissions. The Chiefs will wear their blue alternate jerseys that night.
December 12 will be the annual Teddy Bear Toss presented by the Spokesman-Review Christmas Fund. Fans are encouraged to bring a teddy bear to throw on the ice after the Chiefs score their first goal. All bears and stuff animals will then be donated to the Spokesman-Review's Christmas Fund. Last year, Liam Stewart scored at the 14:56 mark of the 1st Period in last year's Teddy Bear Toss game, resulting in over 6,000 bears tossed on the ice.
On December 19, the Chiefs will celebrate 100 years of hockey in Spokane. The team will wear faux throwback jerseys that will be featured in a silent auction during the game. All proceeds go to Chiefs Care and the Chiefs' Continuing education Scholarship Fund.
The Coca-Cola Bobblehead Giveaway will take place January 23. This year's bobblehead features Spokane Chief great and Memorial Cup & Stanley Cup Champion Ray Whitney and will be given out to the first 2,000 fans.
The annual Mike's Hard Pink Lemonade Breast Cancer Awareness Night will take place February 20. The Chiefs will wear special pink-accented jerseys which will be auctioned off in the concourse in a silent auction. Pink accented game worn helmets will also be given away via prize drawings.
The Chiefs will also honor Memorial Cup Champion, Spokane native, and current Tampa Bay Lightning forward Tyler Johnson on February 26. The first 5,000 fans will get a Tyler Johnson Poster, courtesy of Subway.
Home games are noted in bold and red. All times are PT.
Sat., October 17 - Kamloops (L 1-5).
Fri., October 23 - Victoria (W 2-1).
Last Edit: Mar 19, 2016 20:32:48 GMT -8 by David: Updated Results.
Angi was telling me about the support teams in the league have. It's tremendous for the level of play they are at. Really impressive.
No surprise, but I am at the opener. I tend to go to half the home games during the season. Chiefs already up 1-0 vs Tri.

Radio (NAB) To Record Industry (RIAA): You, Sir, Are the Ball-Licker!
Posted By David Downs on Wed, Oct 10, 2007 at 8:42 AM
What's worse for artists, corporate radio or corporate record labels? Radio is saying labels this week. See, the record labels want more dough from the broadcasting industry, but the broadcasters are bigger and meaner, and play dirtier. So when Congress asked them why they can't chip in more radio dough to artists, NAB simply said:
From the BetaNews:
"I would put that back as a responsibility of the record labels. Why have the record labels allowed that to happen with artists that have helped make them as successful as they are today? [Why is it] the responsibility of the broadcasters to cover, I would say in some cases, the misdeeds of the record labels?"
This kind of logic is backed by statements from the new owner of EMI, Britain's largest music group, From the Telegraph UK:
Guy Hands, the financier whose private equity group, Terra Firma, bought
EMI in August, told staff in a confidential e-mail last week that "The recorded music industry... has for too long been dependent on how many CDs can be sold," he wrote. "Rather than embracing digitalisation and the opportunities it brings for promotion of product and distribution through multiple channels, the industry has stuck its head
in the sand. ...
Hands is understood to have been surprised at the size of salaries paid
to second-tier executives. On Friday he warned that unless there was a major cultural change, more established bands could follow Radiohead's lead, choosing to cut the label out of the loop and distribute their music directly to consumers.
"Why should they subsidise their label's new talent roster – or for that matter their record company's excessive expenditures and advances?" asks Hands.
So, SF, who do you think is worse?

A: You can't change (spoof) the IP address that you send it with. However, you can use a proxy like SOCKS4/5 or a HTTP proxy with the PHP extension cURL. That would result in the desired effect.
However, note that you should first gather more knowledge about how a proxy works before trying random stuff with it (especially with code like what you pasted, which isn't anything you want to do with PHP5 anymore).

A: When you're using TCP, you can't change the sender IP: If you specify an address that doesn't belong to you, any answers will be routed to that IP and never reach your computer.
Therefore, you can only change the sender IP if you don't expect any answer. With TCP, you have to receive an answer (the SYN-ACK) before the connection is initiated. In any case, packets from an IP that doesn't belong to you will be blocked by most, if not any ISPs.

The Rock & Roll Pop Culture Auction November 2020
Lot #6:
Chris Cornell Owned, Stage Used and "Superunknown" Recording Used 1966 Fender Candy Apple Red Jazzmaster Guitar
All > Signed/Stage Used Guitars
All > Chris Cornell/Soundgarden
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/5/2020
Chris Cornell played guitars are rare, but nothing compares to his 1966 Fender Jazzmaster. Cornell originally bought this guitar in 1993 and played it heavily throughout the 1993-1994 tours, playing it on over 30 shows, with video evidence from 13 different shows. Soundgarden didn't become mainstream until the "Superunknown" album came out. According to "Superunknown" album producer Michael Beinhorn, Cornell only used three guitars to record the album. A Gretsch Duo Jet, a double-cutaway Gretsch Silver Jet and this Fender Jazzmaster. This guitar was used to record most of the songs on their most famous album, "Superunknown". Cornell sold this guitar, along with many others, to long-time friend Chris Bond. Bond was Cornell's best friend growing up; they used to play music together at a very young age. When Susan Silver and Chris Cornell got divorced in 2004, Cornell wanted to demonstrate that his guitars had artistic value so he listed this Jazzmaster along with several other guitars in the court case. This 1966 Fender Jazzmaster Serial Number 114706 matches the court documents stated in Case Number 07-2-16253-4 King County, Washington, Superior Court. This Fender Jazzmaster not only was used on stage performances, but MTV live performances, and of course, used to record their best album, "Superunknown". The guitar shows incredible wear as this was one of Cornell's favorite guitars. The guitar comes with the original touring guitar case. Comes with a letter of provenance from Chris Bond, an Appraisal Letter from Emerald City Guitars and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
Minimum Bid: $125,000
Final Bid: $125,000

WEST ORANGE, NJ - The West Orange Police and the Essex County Prosecutor's Office are seeking the public's help with information regarding a murder which occurred Wednesday evening.
At 11:50pm, calls came into police reporting shots had been fired in the vicinity of Walker Road and Northfield Avenue, West Orange. Ultimately, officers discovered a male victim, Brendan Tevlin, 19 of Livingston, who was found dead in his car after receiving multiple gun shot wounds.
No arrests have been made in the case thus far and the prosecutor's office has released two images which may help in the investigation. In addition, the Essex County Sheriff's Crime Stoppers program has increased the initial $10,000 reward for information about the killing to $25,000 after an anonymous donation.
The two still shots were taken by West Orange Police from surveillance videos in the area of Walker Road and Northfield Avenue in West Orange, from the same time period as Tevlin's murder.
At this time the investigation is active and ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Essex County Prosecutor's Office tips line at 1-877-847-7432.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HEAT PRESS ??
As with any equipment, there are many factors to take into consideration when choosing a heat press machine. The most important thing to look for in a heat press is its ability to provide consistently even temperatures across the platen. This will prevent cold spots from developing and ensure consistent application of heat transfer materials. Proper application temperature is also critical in producing quality garments, making accurate temperature controls an essential feature.
Other factors to take into consideration are manufacturer reputation, service options, and warranty, as well as the size of the machine itself. Not only do you want a machine that will print images in the right size, but also a machine that fits into your workspace.

Alexandria, Va. - In the American Geosciences Institute's newest Status of the Geoscience Workforce Report, released May 2014, jobs requiring training in the geosciences continue to be lucrative and in-demand. Even with increased enrollment and graduation from geoscience programs, the data still project a shortage of around 135,000 geoscientists needed in the workforce by the end of the decade.
"Industry has recognized, and is mitigating the upcoming shortage of skilled geoscientists in their employ, but the federal geoscience workforce is still demonstrably shrinking" report author Carolyn Wilson said, noting that the federal geoscience workforce decreased in all sectors except meteorology; this includes geoscientists skilled in the energy, mining/minerals and hydrology fields. Combined with continued unevenness is the workforce readiness of many geoscience graduates and a regionally hot job market, the geosciences are a dynamic component of the U.S. economy.
Employers have appreciably skilled geoscientists to choose from too. Numbers of graduating geoscience majors who started their degrees at a two-year colleges have increased, as have the number of students participating in a field camp experiences--an important facet of a geoscience degree, where students get experience interpreting the landforms critical to determining where energy or water resources exist, as well as interpreting locations susceptible to hazards like flooding or landslides. Most students graduating from a geoscience degree program have taken math courses up to a calculus-II level, but there is still concern from employers over whether these students are graduating with enough quantitative experience to be completely apt for a career in the geosciences.
Employers underscore the necessity of having enough skilled grads to meet vacancies that will exist in the geoscience sector in the upcoming decades.
"It's important that working knowledge is passed down because losing the institutional knowledge could have negative impacts for the overall productivity of these companies." Wilson said.
"Most importantly there is incredible potential for institutions to recruit from the diverse talent pools arising at two year institutions, and many career opportunities available to students enrolled in geoscience programs, and early-career geoscientists entering the workforce," Wilson said. "Plus, this is the first time we have seen a major shift in employment patterns in over a generation, with increasing number of bachelor recipients securing geoscience positions, and newly minted Master's finding themselves in high demand."

Scope: The 700 square foot addition to the north side of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart provided elevator access from street level down to the lower level and up to the worship area of the church. One very important design criterion was a seamless blending of the addition with the original building. Our team matched the stone exterior and roofing materials as well as relocated an existing window with a stone frame to repeat the original architectural elements. In addition, extensive renovations of the church ceilings and altar area were completed for the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart by the CVI family of companies.


An International and New Standard for the Food Industry.
To manage one has to measure. But, how to measure the quality culture of a company? In our experience, there used to be no good answer - until now!
Today food production involves staying on top of an extreme amount of details, on a large scale. Structure, system and certification are necessities, but not a guarantee to succeed. The Missing Link often turns out to be the company culture - "the way things are done around here". However, initiatives to improve company culture proves to be challenging. It takes time, it is complex and can't be easily solved by means of technology, because we are dealing with people and established work routines.
The Culture Excellence Program is an international and new exciting concept for measuring, analysing and improving organizational culture. It is in particular adapted to the food industry and food service industry/grocery, founded on 15 years of academic research and industry practice. The program is developed by Taylor Shannon Institute.
Aquatiq® Consult holds the exclusive rights to program for Scandinavia. As a program member your company becomes part of a global network of food companies. This group gain access to best practice and the latest industry updates through webinars and digital workshops.

Story: Lighthouses
New Zealand's rugged, weather-beaten coastline was perilous to ships arriving in the mid-1800s, and many were wrecked before lighthouses were considered an urgent government concern. The establishment of a national lighthouse system has been a heroic enterprise. Starting out as a lamp tended in a cottage window, lighthouses are now highly technical and wholly automated.

What are lighthouses for?
Lighthouses were built on coasts to warn ships about rocks or reefs, and show where a harbour entrance is. They are also important landmarks, helping ships' crews work out their distance from land and the speed they are travelling.

New Zealand has a rocky and sometimes stormy coastline, which endangered lives and cargo. Soon after settlers first began to arrive in the 1840s, they began demanding lights and beacons. The first lighthouse was opened at Pencarrow Head, at the entrance to Wellington Harbour, in 1859.
After two marine boards (established in 1862 and 1863) proved unsatisfactory in building and looking after lighthouses, the New Zealand government established the Marine Department in 1866. However, James Balfour's early death robbed the new department of an exceptional lighthouse engineer. Balfour believed that lighthouses should be cheap and easy to build. His successor, John Blackett, found places to build them.
Putting up lighthouses was often difficult. They were built on exposed areas with no nearby roads, so wood and other materials had to be delivered by boat, sometimes on dangerous seas.
New Zealand's first lights were oil lanterns, soon followed by kerosene burners. To increase the amount of light, their beam was focused through large glass lenses. In the 1935, electric lights began to be used. Each lighthouse flashed them in a special sequence so that sailors would know which lighthouse they were seeing. Today, solar panels provide the power for the lights.
Until the lights became electric, keepers worked long hours making sure the oil lanterns did not go out. They also cleaned the lights, and looked after the lighthouse tower and any buildings and farmland nearby. Keepers' wives helped out. When electric lights began to be used and automated systems were installed, many keepers lost their jobs. There are no longer any keepers. Today, New Zealand has an effective, automated system of lights.

Cornerstone: A Collection of Scholarly and Creative Works for Minnesota State University, Mankato - Undergraduate Research Symposium: Are Hypothyroidism-Induced Reductions in Brain Derived Igf1 Due to Reducations in Serum Growth Hormone?
Are Hypothyroidism-Induced Reductions in Brain Derived Igf1 Due to Reducations in Serum Growth Hormone?
Low thyroid hormone (TH) during development results in permanent neurological deficits. Similarly, low insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) during development results in neurological deficits. Furthermore, studies in rodents have documented similar neuroanatomical defects between low TH and low Igf1. TH, GH, and Igf1 interact at the hypothalamus, pituitary, and liver; contributing to circulating levels of Igf1. Considering this, it is reasonable to propose that changes in locally produced brain Igf1 following thyroid hormone insufficiency is due, in part, to a disruption of the TH-GH-Igf1 axis. To clarify this, we are testing whether changes in brain Igf1 mRNA is an indirect result of changes in serum GH that accompany low TH. Two groups of timed pregnant mice will be used: control and hypothyroid.
Hypothyroid dams will be treated on embryonic day 14 with chemicals that inhibit thyroid gland function. To test the idea that changes in brain-derived Igf1 following hypothyroidism are independent of changes that occur in serum growth hormone, hypothyroid and control pups will be injected daily with growth hormone or saline from postnatal day (P) 1 until P14. At P14, experimental pups will euthanized, and serum and brain tissue will be collected for analysis of serum hormones and brain Igf1. It is predicted that growth hormone provisions provided to hypothyroid pups will have no effect on the hypothyroidism-induced reductions in brain Igf1; supporting the idea that reduction in brain-derived Igf1 levels following hypothyroidism are independent of the serum growth hormone changes.

Once was just about it first of all advised?
It had been 1st granted thinking approval by North Tipperary district Council in October 2010, also it was actually wished that building would begin in 2011.
How it happened?
The project encountered stress very quickly whenever the got compared by some neighborhood home buyers and preservation system An Taisce, which asserted that truly "ill-conceived" and put in that their location would need the redirection of 750m of ocean seas.
After an interest An Bord Pleanala, the planning body gave the casino the go-ahead in June 2011. Nevertheless it bump into complications again very quickly as soon as the federal government launched wants to change Ireland's betting regulations.
New costs had been set-to submit a number of brand new recommendations, considered one of that have clogged large, resort-style gambling casino.

Then-justice minister Alan Shatter afterwards solved the many information suggested for its Tipperary advanced would-be deemed as well as the amounts helped according to the brand new procedures.
The bill is last but not least released in 2013 you can try here, with Shatter making clear once again so it would stop the Two-Mile Borris developing. This received the ire of controversial TD Michael Lowry, a champion of this casino, that was set to end up being constructed in their constitutional stronghold.
What's today's feeting?
Quirke had quietly sent applications for, and also in 2013 ended up being awarded, planning authorization for an overhaul associated with the task that would focus more on the sporting side of the improvement, broadening on spots like the equestrian hub.
There clearly was in addition an idea clip submitted to YouTube some time ago. The video announced the establishment can have the World Today Equestrian gaming.

Quirke has a tendency to still be keen on your panels. Dublin share and Juke package Ltd, a company put to use in the businessman's video strategies, mentioned within the newest reports, within the end of Summer 2015, it is "continuing to find land and homes to be able to develop a gambling establishment and recreation structure in Tipperary".
But however faces difficulty in the form of the government's suggested gambling laws.
He extra about the Minister of State possess questioned the office of fairness to examine any possible elements of worries during the payment from inside the new-year.
"This could be augmented from achievement from the more technical work on the key costs for federal government affirmation and guide later during 2017," the guy claimed.
Requested specifically whether there is certainly possible the Tipperary casino could go forward in the latest laws, this individual believed in an announcement: "The important strategy associated with Gambling regulation expenses tends to make certain supply for certification of modest-sized gambling casino (emphasis his or her)."
You placed in questions to Lowry and O'Connell Mahon, the architects the undertaking, but I haven't listened to all straight back at the time of yet. We'll remember to keep close track of your panels, and whether there is certainly have ever any indication of either the casino as well as the equestrian center getting form.
