"She called Tiantian." Zeng Ruo arouses the courage to start talking finally. "Tiantian? Really is also predestined friends with me, I called Xia Tian, she called Tiantian." Xia Tian shows a faint smile, she truly is predestined friends with small Tiantian. "Um, you have rescued her two." Saying of Zeng Ruo gentle voice: "In the evening I meet you." "Does not use, I go, he does not like the person being many." He who Xia Tian said is white-clothed person. "Good, when your college entrance examination ended me to come to you celebration."

Student Success - Julia Benn
By Sarah Van Arsdale on July 23 2008
NYIAD students are out there in droves decorating clients' homes, serving as consultants in department stores, and re-designing everything from metropolitan penthouses to lakeshore cottages. If you've started your own business, if you've been hired by a decorating firm, or if you've achieved success in some other way in the field of interior design, we want to hear from you! Click here to let us know about the waves you're making!
If you missed earlier installments of this series, here's your chance to read more about the accomplishments of NYIAD students. Just visit our NYIAD Student Success page.
If there's one word that sums up the life and work of NYIAD grad Julia Benn, it's "eclectic." Born in Barbados, now making her home in Georgia, Julia has lived in cities from New York to London. When she isn't busy running her interior design business, she can be found working on her photography, music, art, and other creative endeavors — and she brings all those talents into her career as an interior designer.
"I love the juxtaposition of old and new, modern and classic. I love the tropics and I love northern climates, and I blend all of these elements to create my designs," she says. "I am inspired by my surroundings, my travels and I never tire of visiting museums and art galleries."
But it's interior design that has captured Julia's heart, and it's been that way for a long time.
"I have always known that I wanted to be an Interior Designer, since the age of sixteen when I decorated my first room," she says.
"I love architecture, interior design and art passionately and consider myself a child of the arts.
Most recently, she worked on a re-design in Barbados, and she sent us the photos to show off the work.
Since 1991, Julia's been seriously pursuing her interest in the field, starting with completing a course in interior decorating when she attended the Barbados Community College. Next stop was to study at American College in London in 1995 (now called the American Inter-Continental University.)
But Julia, like many NYIAD students, has an insatiable thirst for knowledge; she wasn't through with her studies at that point, and she enrolled in the NYIAD Complete Course in Interior Design.
"What drew me to the course initially was the convenience of being able to work and study full time — and the fees were affordable," she says. "I could study at my own pace and in my own time."
Even with her background in design and the other coursework she'd done under her belt, Julia found that the NYIAD Course had a lot to teach her.
"The course was very detailed and I loved my assigned course teacher. There are many lessons in this course that one could apply to their design business for life!"
The fact that the business angle on design was fully addressed particularly appealed to Julia, and helped her to further organize her business. "The NYIAD special report 'How Decorators Charge' and others are all very important texts to study and master," she says.
Although Julia appreciates the necessity for having some business savvy, her passion is really in the decorating itself. She has decorated several homes, including her own 1910 14-room center hall Colonial in Cleveland, Ohio, several years ago. There, she found that a new appreciation for the demands of decorating an older home, and found that "respecting the architecture of the home was very important to me."
When people began seeing what she'd done with her home, she started building her business by word-of-mouth.
Now, Julia has branched out to design for businesses as well as for individual homeowners.
In 2005 through 2006 Julia did interior design consulting for the all-inclusive Almond Beach Resorts in Barbados and St. Lucia. "While there I decorated their ocean themed six treatment room spa and wedding center on the west coast location in Barbados," she said.
Julia particularly enjoys working with her clients, and making them happy with the results.
"What I love about my work are the rewards," she says. "Seeing the satisfaction on the clients' faces when they see their spaces for the first time is so gratifying."
Julia has found that working in interior design allows her a wide berth for her creativity. It's because Julia is able to pour her own creativity into her work that she can experience the feeling of creating something out of nothing, but she also takes into account the client's own individual style and taste.
"A bare room is like a blank canvas, and the beauty is filling the space and creating an original," she says. "At the end of the day the client has to live in the space, so it is very important to me that I listen to their requests, allowing the rooms to speak their language while giving the visitor a strong sense of who they are."
"As an artist, I also do murals, trompe l'oeils, faux finishes, event and hoilday decorating," she says. Currently, she's working on an apartment with two "master" bedrooms for a client who is an art collector. This project allows her background in art to really shine.
Julia has built up her business to the point where she was invited last year to speak to design students in Barbados. She tried to get across to them the message that working in the design field has its demands, and will require a commitment — one that will pay off handsomely if the student is dedicated.
"I want to encourage students to be sure that this is what they are passionate about. This is an exciting and ever evolving field and one must keep abreast," she says.
NYIAD Top Tip:
Julia advises students to invest in books and magazines on design, to visit showrooms and become familiar with a wide variety of styles. And, just as she herself pursues many arts, she encourages young designers to do the same.
"Take in dance recitals and theatre for the places from which you derive your inspiration derives is endless. Pay attention to what is around you in your environment. Remember that this is a business and make sure you offer nothing less than outstanding service."
It looks as if Julia has found the field in which she can let all her creative talents blossom. "I love my work passionately and I am grateful for the opportunity to have done the NYIAD course. I look forward with anticipation to completing the Advanced Tutorial course as well," she says.

Most individuals are interested in looking their best, regardless of age. Thankfully, there are a variety of cosmetic procedures that are available to help us look our best, regardless if we are on the younger side, or getting up in years. One technology that is available is broadband light therapy, or BBL therapy by Sciton®. It is a cosmetic treatment that uses broadband light energy to treat a variety of skin conditions. It can be tailored to match most skin types. The great thing about broadband light therapy is that it can treat a variety of different skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne and hair removal. Individuals who suffer from pigmentation issues are often self-conscious. At ReFresh Aesthetic Center in Whitefish Bay, we have a treatment option to address these concerns. Examples of pigmentation concerns include "maturity spots" from sun damage. As a person gets older and they have spent time in the sun, they begin to develop these spots on their body. Broadband light therapy can help. In addition to evening out skin tone, an added benefit of BBL therapy is collagen production. Studies have shown that the head from this treatment deeply penetrates the skin, which stimulates collagen remodeling. After a client completes a series of treatments, which consists of at least three sessions spaced apart every four to six weeks, they will go on a yearly maintenance plan for continual collagen stimulation. We will make you feel as comfortable as possible during the treatment session. You should know that the treatment is safe and non-invasive. It is also very gentle. The results you receive after treatment are going to depend on the condition that you are having treated and the particular areas that are being treated. When you come in for your consultation, we can discuss what the outcome of your treatment will be. Since this is a non-invasive treatment, you are able to return to work and all normal activities almost immediately afterwards. You can even apply makeup directly following treatment. There is virtually no downtime with BBL therapy. This is yet another benefit of this treatment. BBL therapy at ReFresh Aesthetic Center is a great way to rejuvenate your skin and treat a wide variety of skin conditions. Our office proudly serves the Glendale, Brown Deer, River Hills, Shorewood, Milwaukee and surrounding areas. Contact us today to schedule a consultation at our office in Whitefish Bay.

Formula 1 / French GP / Breaking news
Gasly blames wrong set-up direction for qualifying struggle
Adam Cooper
Red Bull Racing's Pierre Gasly says he went the wrong way on set-up for qualifying for the French Grand Prix.
Gasly added downforce after final practice, but in Q1 he found he had lost performance.
While most of the top contenders went for medium tyres in Q2 in order to avoid having to use the fragile softs for the start, Gasly opted to stick with them to help his passage into Q3.
French GP: Hamilton beats Bottas to pole, Vettel seventh
He made it through and eventually qualified ninth.
However, only he and 10th-placed Antonio Giovinazzi are committed to starting on the softs, and with most of the drivers behind likely to avoid the softs both men risk being stuck in a no-man's land on a tyre that will not last long in the race.
"FP3 was decent, we were sixth," said Gasly. "And we made some changes we thought would be going in the right direction, but we need to analyse.
"We lost a lot of grip and lost a lot of pace, and in the end we could not really run the medium in Q2, so we had to put the soft and the overall pace was not great. It was quite a difficult qualy."
Gasly admitted that he could be in for tough Sunday afternoon on the soft tyre.
"It's too early to know exactly what we're going to do but tomorrow, for sure, they are planning a really hot day so it's not going to be easy with the soft set but we will have to find a way to make it work.
"The guys in front start on mediums, the guys behind I don't expect anyone to start with the softs. Maybe there's something we could do with the strategy, a bit different to the others, as we start on a different tyre.
"We need to have a look at everything. But first stint with this tyre is maybe going to be a bit challenging."
Gasly admitted Red Bull was surprised the chasing pack was so close, with McLaren in particular showing very strong form.
"We probably didn't expect to be that close from the midfield coming here with the upgrades we have," said Gasly.
"I think the others have also been pushing and we probably make a step but the others are also recovering and finding new parts and I think McLaren seem to clearly have made quite a step.
"I think it's difficult to say if it's this special track. We know the more technical it is - like Monaco, for example - the better it is for us, because Honda is doing a good job and recovering the performance but compared to the Mercedes and Ferrari engines, we are still losing quite a bit.
"Clearly, on our side, there was something we did wrong for this qualifying but looking at Max and the gap with McLaren, they are quite close so hopefully on other tracks we can have better overall performance. I don't have the answer now."

. . . and babies make four.: All because two people fell in love.
100 years ago today, in the 9th Street Baptist Church in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr. Thomas A. Riley and Miss Aline M. Johnson were united in marriage by Pastor John F. Herget.
Thomas and Aline were my maternal great grandparents. I don't remember my great grandfather, who passed away when I was a small child, but I remember my great grandmother well. She lived lived into her late 90s and passed away when I was in the 8th grade. She lived next door to my grandmother and grandfather for many, many years. She crocheted beautiful doilies. She baked bread. She always wore a house dress and practical shoes -- really ugly practical shoes. She also loved cut crystal and the color pink and grew beautiful flowers in her yard.
Michal's middle name is Aline, as is my mom's, in her honor. My great grandmother was a lovely woman who fell in love with a funny, charming man.
I'm sure glad that she did.
This is a GREAT pic. I love the name Aline.

Every type of business has some need for commercial cleaning services. Some use the help for a specific issue like deep cleaning carpets and others use janitorial services daily. Every company has some type of ongoing need and that is why entrepreneurs who want a potentially lucrative business opportunity should consider this type of venture. Here are the five steps you will need to take to begin a commercial cleaning service.
Experts recommend that a business plan be concise, bold and knowledgeable. Discuss what the company will do, how it will achieve its goals and who will want the services. Give some details on marketing, daily operations and financial plans. Keep it long enough to express the ideas fully, but avoid so much detail that people stop reading.
Know what the company must have for licenses (if any) and if the use of certain equipment requires certification. Insurance is a necessity for every type of business and a cleaning service must have coverage that protects themselves, their employees and the clients as well as the general public.
This is also a good time to register a business name and to decide if you need to register the company. The Australian Securities and Investment Commission website allows business owners to do both at the same site, and they offer a business tool to help decide what type of business structure is best.
Every service and retail business must have reliable suppliers. A cleaning company will need an array of cleaning chemicals, paper products, tools and equipment. It is important to find suppliers that keep all these items on hand to ensure they are available as needed. Companies like BigClean.com.au give an example of what most commercial cleaners need to have in stock, so they are also a useful resource for estimating startup costs and building an inventory list.
Every business will need some type of funding. Anyone willing to commit money to a new endeavor will want to know they are making a wise investment. Encourage their confidence through preparation.
Bring along the business plan as well as a copy of all business or personal bank statements for the last several months, and a detailed report of how the business will use the money.
Examples of uses for a business loan could include startup costs for supplies and equipment, vehicle leasing, and marketing campaigns. Include other operating expenses like office rent, employee uniforms and payroll.
Market the company to sign on clients as soon as possible. Use traditional postal mail and email campaigns and include bonus offers for new clients to generate interest. Advertise through various forms of media like print, online, and radio. Build a website and develop social media pages on several platforms and keep everything updated.
Attend relevant trade shows to network with others in the industry as well as to meet corporate clients in need of your services. Contact commercial realtors and property managers in the area to make them aware of your business.
Build alliances with people in the construction trades, office supply business, and flooring installers or decorators. Basically, build a rapport with anyone that works with commercial customers that could offer a recommendation, or that may even hire your services as part of their projects. Return the favor by recommending their services to your clients.
Commercial cleaning companies have the potential to thrive. It is not difficult to begin a new business if you know where to start. These five steps can help anyone to become established with their own successful cleaning service.

The first two are covered at length in the League of Power course, and so is the third actually, but let's talk about the third today. You may have heard some of this before, but I still think most people take for granted what is truly an incredible revolution that's taking place.
Information is power and that is exactly why this isn't talked about much at the IRS.
Watch this video now and you'll see exactly why this underground 'currency' is surging in popularity.

Staff Playlist #6 - Happy Birthday
By No Ripcord Staff
We've decided to take a break from our decade playlists (which will return next month) for a birthday-themed special. April 26th marked the twelfth birthday of No Ripcord, so we thought it a grand idea to look back through the archives and see what was top of the charts on our own birthdays. The rules were simple: pick the #1 single from your date of birth plus any song of your choosing from that week's charts. Some of the No Ripcord writers had the good fortune to be born with a classic track dominating the airwaves, whereas some... not so much.
No 8tracks playlist this month, unfortunately, but the tracks are still collated on last.fm here and Spotify (Europe only) here. Tracks are linked to on YouTube and, as it's an external site, we cannot take responsibility for the content of the videos.
If you want to play along, then have a look at the following links. In the UK, a full list of number 1s can be found at everyHit, with full chart records courtesy of The Official Charts archive. In the USA, number 1s at Pop Culture Madness and a list of Top 10s at Billboard. If anyone knows of any full American chart archives, please get in touch.
ANGEL AGUILAR
Number 1: Danny and The Juniors - At The Hop
I know, I'm old, but at least I can claim a good-rockin' number one song for the day I was born, a sock-hopping ditty about getting your kicks at a dance party, with a Jerry Lee style piano break to boot. The song was the main claim to fame for this New Orleans doo-wop group. It's been parodied many times ever since, but the original still sounds fresh.
Favourite: Elvis Presley - Don't
I love this Elvis song, which trumped At The Hop a couple of weeks later for the number one spot. Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller were never given enough credit as sophisticated songwriters. At one level, it can be taken as a standard ballad about a lover pleading for more intimacy. It's actually about sexual negotiations: desiring more than just a cuddle under the blanket. Elvis sounds here like he's the offended party, coaxing his girl into reluctant submission. This was pretty racy for 1958, but went over the censors' heads. The pill and the sexual revolution loomed ahead.
ANDREW BAER
Number 1: Milli Vanilli - Baby Don't Forget My Number
I see absolutely no reason to write anything about this song, other than it's awful. That's my relationship with it. It's a terrible, terrible song.
Favourite: Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
1989 was a pretty weak year for hits in the US. This was the best song I could come up with, which is incredibly sad. I don't really like Poison, but who does? There's little redeeming quality in their music, if any at all. This song does get stuck in my head, and Bret Michaels got with Miley Cyrus's mother and ruined the marriage of the man who wrote Achy Breaky Heart. Gotta give him credit for that.
PRESTON BERNSTEIN
Number 1: U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
For two weeks in 1987, Irish band U2 scored a massive hit Stateside with their song I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. A single released off of the album The Joshua Tree, most consider the song to be a heartfelt statement of a man's desire to be closer to God. Many consider the song to be the crown jewel in U2's musical repertoire.
Favourite: New Order - Ceremony
Released on August 11, 1987, New Order's Substance proved once and for all that shitty musicians could make good music. Stupidly simplistic, the album rocketed the former Joy Divisioners to worldwide fame. This track, Ceremony, exemplifies the minimalist pop sensibilities of history's best ever Joy Division cover band.
SEAN CALDWELL
Number 1: Rod Stewart - Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)
In all honesty, aside from some very limited time listening to The Faces, Rod Stewart has been one of those popular voices I've sought to avoid. That being the case, it offers me no real pride or satisfaction to realize that the tail end of 1976 belonged to Stewart and this song, which is a sort of forgettable contribution to pop-rock's ever-expanded bin of sappy love tunes. No real effort on my parents' part, though - whether I'd emerged into the world sooner or later - would've worked in my favor, being that for the two months prior to my birth, songs like Chicago's If You Leave Me Now and Rick Dees' Disco Duck, would've been what I'd had to look back on. Ah, the Seventies.
Favourite: David Bowie - Golden Years
This is no contest. In a year otherwise packed with pop embarrassment (Silly Love Song, Afternoon Delight) or the who's who of disco's dreadful reign ((Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty, That's The Way (I Like It)), David Bowie's Golden Years at least takes the 70s-centric groove thang and twists it into something timeless and dark. The excess of the culture that led the populace to Studio 54 in droves so it could shake its collective booty is exactly what led Bowie to "run for the shadows," his own fascinations with funk and Neu!-induced minimalism compounded by his glamorized Thin White Duke persona and his drug use.
LUKAS CLARK-MEMLER
Number 1: Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Boom! Shake The Room
These days, Will Smith seems to be a pretty serious man; a dramatic heavyweight, winning both critical and commercial acclaim in a slew of serious motion pictures about serious men doing serious things. But before he selflessly saved seven souls or pursued "happyness," Will would lace up his box-fresh Nikes, pull a gaudy snapback cap over his eraser-cut hairdo and wreak havoc on the streets of Bel Air. Though I never quite "got" the music of the Fresh Prince, I have many fond memories of the television show that was so distinctly '90s.
Favourite: Radiohead - Creep
I first fell in love with Radiohead after 2000's Kid A, an album that defined my early adolescence. My feelings for the band have remained strong, through the zeitgeist-capturing In Rainbows, and even this year's slightly underwhelming The King of Limbs (but hey, Codex is a phenomenal track). Last year, when a Belgian women's choir, covered Creep for the hauntingly beautiful trailer for The Social Network, I went back and revisited Radiohead's debut Pablo Honey; and my love for Thom, Jonny, Colin, Ed and Phil, only grew stronger.
DAVID COLEMAN
Number 1: The Human League - Don't You Want Me
On 21st December 1981, the day of my birth, the UK's bestselling LP was ABBA's The Visitors; the top spot in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart was occupied by the Human League's synth-pop classic, Don't You Want Me. Although I had absolutely nothing to do with either of these chart placings, I feel strangely proud to have arrived in the world at a rare point when people valued great pop music over novelty dross. Aside from the fact that Don't You Want Me is arguably one of the greatest singles of the 1980s, it also seems fitting that a band from my future adopted hometown were number one at the time of my birth.
Favourite: ABC - Tears Are Not Enough
I could have picked Bowie, Rod Stewart, maybe even Adam Ant, but how could I ignore ABC and this timeless slab of swaggering funk? A truly amazing debut single from another legendary Sheffield band. What a week to be born in.
Number 1: U2 - With Or Without You
On May 25 1987, America's Billboard chart-topper was With Or Without You by U2. Though I'm not much of a current U2 fan, I can see how they might have been popular "back in the day" before the likes of Vertigo and such. Apparently they were peaking around the time I was born and learning to crawl. It's a solid rock song with actual drums, a stand-out accomplishment on this week in 1987.
Favourite: Fleetwood Mac - Big Love
For the best song of the week of May 25 1987's top ten, I choose Fleetwood Mac's Big Love, because, really, what's not to like about a song that ends with a guitar solo and alternating masculine "Uh's" and a feminine "Ah's"? The vocals are haunting and the guitar plucks, catchy. It maintains that distinctive 80's vibe while holding the cheese, or at least some of the cheese.
MARK DAVISON
Number 1: Madness – House of Fun
An indisputable classic, although I must admit that I've never cared much for it. Yes, it may be the most catchy song ever written about buying your first pack of condoms, but Madness' constant chirpiness always got on my nerves and I felt rather vindicated in my dislike of them when Suggs sold out and started flogging frozen food on TV. On the other hand, I know that it could have been much worse (at the same time over in the US, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's horrific Ebony and Ivory was sitting at the top of the charts). And it does bring back fond memories of watching repeats of The Young Ones.
Favourite: Yazoo – Only You
One of the few points where my record collection crosses over with my Mum's. She likes it for the damaged yet defiant vocals of Alison Moyet, I love it for Vince Clarke's distinctively minimal synth playing (and the vocals as well actually – Moyet has one of the greatest voices in pop music, and it's a shame that, while not exactly unsuccessful, she's never really received the recognition she's deserved). In addition to providing me with some of the most vivid musical memories of my childhood, it's also a suitably dramatic song to stick on when I'm feeling a bit romantic (or drunk) and overly emotional.
JOE ILIFF
Number 1: 2 Unlimited - No Limit
As many of you, I am sure, can empathise with, I was into old school house as a baby - in particular, No Limit gave the riff and lyrical content that really reflected where, as an unborn child nearing term, I felt my life was headed. It was vital and liberating - perfectly mirroring the day I was sprung upon the unwitting world alongside the bouncing maxim that, "We do what we want and we do it with pride." One might say a little part of me felt that "there [was] no limit" to what was possible.
Favourite: Radiohead - Anyone Can Play Guitar
In contrast to that romanticised, and not wholly accurate, notion, the knowledge that Anyone Can Play Guitar was charting on the day I was born serves only as a cold reminder of the insignificant speck that the extent my lifetime represents on the musical map: Radiohead - who I would consider a very modern, relevant band, are still around today; and none of them are dead, or old. But, while it is, relatively speaking, a long time ago, a more welcome thought is this particular track has so far surpassed the suffocating anonymity of time. It harks back to a time when Radiohead were new and a little too like Nirvana, and Thom Yorke was still rooted in his "I am a Rockstar, no, seriously! I know, how awesome is that?!" phase. All this culminated in lines like the wonderfully pretentious, faux-intellectual parody of Nero's popular myth: "If the world does turn and if London burns / I'll be standing on a beach with my guitar." Honestly? I'm glad the world has moved on.
SAM REDLARK
Number 1: Simon Park Orchestra - Eye Level
The current fetish in the UK for fictional European detectives, as evidenced by the success of Wallander, The Killing and Spiral, marks a point in a cycle that comes around every few decades. In 1973, Dutch detective, Simon Van Der Valk, was solving crimes on ITV. Meanwhile in the music charts, as The Sweet's glam attack, Ballroom Blitz, hovered at number two, the instrumental theme music from the show took a leisurely stroll to the top spot. It is unlikely that the massed youth of the British Isle were storming the counters of record shops all clamouring for a copy of Eye Level. Just as earthquakes and volcanoes remind us of who has the upper hand in the struggle between man and nature, the success of the single was a reminder that, when an older generation mobilizes to buy a piece of music, they are more than capable of wrestling control of the charts away from the teenage market.
Favourite: Ike & Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits
The suburbs are an enduring stage setting in pop music, romanticised as a place of innocence and sexual awakening, and vilified as oppressive wellsprings of frustration that you absolutely must break free from. Nutbush City Limits captured that joyful moment of escape. The dirty diesel funk of Ike Turner's "grease under the fingernails" guitar, and a Moog solo that adopted the strained, police siren tones of a Theremin, conjured an image of the pair speeding away from a dry town in Tennessee, past the church, the school and the jailhouse. Away from all the daily routines that fix you in place and regulate your behaviour. Whatever abuse characterised the lives of the Ike and Tina offstage, they formed a musical partnership that was infinitely more than the sum of its parts.
JOE RIVERS
Number 1: Boris Gardiner - I Want To Wake Up With You
I'd never heard this slice of ditchwater-dull, smooth reggae until researching this piece and I plan on never hearing it again. An insipid ballad, I Want To Wake Up With You was Gardiner's only Top 10 hit in the UK, and sounds to me like the kind of song that has led to reggae still not being taken seriously by all quarters to this day. I should probably count my lucky stars though; had I been born on my due date, five days earlier, you'd have just read my thoughts on Chris De Burgh's Lady In Red.
Favourite: The Smiths - Panic
I first really got into The Smiths when I was sixteen and someone lent me a copy of the Singles compilation. Other than the two tracks I already knew (This Charming Man and How Soon Is Now?), Panic is the one that really jumped out at me. I'm not really sure why though; maybe it's the immediacy, maybe it's the rollcall of major British towns, or maybe it's the refrain of "Hang the DJ, hang the DJ." Reportedly written as a response to Radio 1's Steve Wright immediately following breaking news of the Chernobyl disaster with Wham!'s I'm Your Man, Panic may not be the most enduring of The Smiths' stellar run of hits, but it's a great indie disco tune nonetheless.
JUAN EDGARDO RODRIGUEZ
Number 1: John Waite - Missing You
There are two kinds of music you won't find in my collection: tailor-made power ballads and sentimental power pop that sounded like it came programmed out of a Casio demo. John Waite had the muscle to do both. In fact, his evolution as a songwriter is completely at odds with my taste. The British singer-songwriter first made waves with Missing You, a radio staple about being in denial that exposes his forte in mastering inanely obvious Hallmark musings. Logically, his next step was to grow his hair out and lead Bad English, another project rich with MTV-friendly imagery fit for the karaoke graveyard. He was the precursor to our time's other schmaltzy lyricist, Chris Martin.
Favourite: Prince & The Revolution – Let's Go Crazy
The song that should've been number one on my birthday, Let's Go Crazy is the perfect sleazy romp. Prince was always one to blend sexified gusto with Christian subtext, like when he declares, "dearly beloved, we are gathered to get through this thing called life," after the organ kicks in. The rest is pop history in the making: LM-1 drums, triumphant synths, and not one, but two around-the-fret solos were just the right ingredient to join in on Prince's Mass of Joy. This priest was all about teaching good ol' ethics to the kiddies, and of course, to the ladies.
ALAN SHULMAN
Number 1: The Box Tops - The Letter
The week I was born the number one single was by a group featuring a gruff-voiced 16 year old singer named Alex Chilton. Apparently it was the biggest hit of 1967, but frankly it has always bored me to tears. And Joe Cocker's typically hysterical version released a couple years later does nothing to improve the song's image in my mind. What's that thing about being born under a bad sign? Yikes!
Favourite: Bobbie Gentry - Ode To Billie Joe
Far more interesting, as far as I'm concerned, was the song sitting in the number 2 slot – one of the most mysterious hits in the history of pop music. Mysterious not just because we are all still wondering what Billie Joe and his girl threw off the Tallahatchie Bridge, and whether his girlfriend is the singer, and why no one in the family seems to give a hoot that Billie Joe jumped off the bridge himself, but how a simple song without a chorus got to be such a smash. Dylan parodied the family's indifference in Clothes Line Saga, recorded at the same time and later released on The Basement Tapes, where Mama and Papa discuss the madness of the Vice President while seeing if the clothes are dry.
And what of No Ripcord itself? Editor-in-chief David Coleman looks at the UK music scene on 26th April 1999.
NO RIPCORD
Number One: Martine McCutcheon - Perfect Moment
In its early days, No Ripcord was a very angry little website. I can vividly recall my dear friend Chris Hall, whose passionate if a little aggressive writing helped to launch the site, writing a scathing paragraph on poor old Martine McCutcheon. He concluded his diatribe with the words "stick to what you're good at, Martine: nothing". She was, of course, a pointless and rather pitiful target, but listening to this absolutely horrendous ballad twelve years on I can still see Chris's point.
Favourite: Blur - Tender
There were some good singles (Suede's Electricity, TLC's No Scrubs, Eminem's My Name Is, and Britney's Baby One More Time) and some truly diabolical ones (Vengaboys, Billie, Boyzone, B*Witched, Des'ree, The Corrs, and two fucking Steps songs) in the charts that week, but the pick of the bunch for me has to be Blur's Tender. And that was placed at number 40. If you look at this week's chart in full and consider how hard it was to access alternative culture in 1999, especially in a remote town like Whitehaven, you'll understand just why No Ripcord was born at this specific time.
So, what do you think? We'd love to hear from you using the comments facility below, and maybe let us know what was rocking the nation on the day you were born.

Chapter 11 Plans, Claims, Releases & Exculpations
Enjoining the Bank: Arizona Bankruptcy Court Considers Post-Confirmation Injunction Against Enforcing Guarantee
Contributed by Sara Coelho
In corporate chapter 11 cases it is common practice to file cases for each entity guaranteeing corporate debt to ensure that the guarantee liability is restructured along with obligations of primary borrowers. Restructuring guarantees is usually essential to create a fresh start for an enterprise because the guarantors are typically affiliates that add value to the enterprise — provided they are financially sound. When the guarantors make important contributions to the business but they are not part of a corporate family however, filing chapter 11 cases for guarantors means filing unrelated entities, often with separate and healthy businesses, to the detriment of those businesses and the guarantor's ability to fund reorganization of the primary borrower. In Linda Vista Cinemas, L.L.C., the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona grappled with this dilemma when it considered whether to confirm a chapter 11 plan that provided for payment of all creditors in full over time, but enjoined collection efforts against guarantors who would contribute capital to the debtor to the extent necessary to ensure that all plan payments were made. The court reluctantly denied confirmation on the grounds that the plan violated section 524(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that a bankruptcy discharge of a debtor "does not affect the liability of any other entity" on the debt, concluding it was bound to do so by previous precedent.
In Linda Vista, the debtor, a movie theatre operator, had bank debt guaranteed by its owners, and by other businesses owned by the owners, including an L.L.C. that operated a separate theatre business and a construction company. The guarantees were backed by collateral owned by the guarantors. The debtor's plan would pay the bank's secured claim in full by extending the loan an additional four years beyond its original term, setting a new 20-year amortization schedule, making interest-only payments for the first two years, making interest and principal payments for five years, setting the interest rate at prime plus 1.5%, and paying the claim in full on the seventh anniversary of the effective date. The plan provided that the guarantors would contribute additional capital when necessary to make the required payments. So long as the terms of the plan were followed, the bank would be enjoined from pursuing its guarantee claim against the guarantors.
The bank argued that the plan could not be confirmed because it violated section 524(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. The court ultimately decided that prior precedent compelled this result, but first, in canvassing the law on the question, it outlined a case for the permissibility of a temporary post-confirmation injunction against enforcement of guarantees in some cases. The court found a sufficient statutory and jurisdictional basis for enjoining post-confirmation collection efforts on the guarantees. It found that section 524(e) of the Bankruptcy Code did not prohibit a temporary injunction against collection and that the court had "related to" jurisdiction over the enforcement of the guarantees because enforcement could affect administration of the plan. In considering whether the debtor met the standard for injunctive relief, it weighed the harm to the bank under the plan (delay in payment) against the risk of harm to the debtor and the guarantors (inability to fund the plan of reorganization, necessity of the guarantors filing their own chapter 11 cases) and found that the balance of hardships favored the injunction.
The bankruptcy court opined that the previous precedents did not necessarily preclude approving the plan's injunction, but ultimately held that it was, as a matter of law, bound by precedent and was compelled to reject the plan because it violated section 524(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Linda Vista court distinguished a prior Ninth Circuit case that prohibited a post-confirmation injunction against suing non-debtors on the basis that the case prohibited permanent relief that had the effect of releasing the non-debtor party from liability. See American Hardwoods, Inc. v. Deutsche Credit Corp. (In re American Hardwoods, Inc.), 885 F.2d 621 (9th Cir. 1989); see also Resorts Int'l v. Lowenschuss (In re Fred Lowenschuss), 67 F.3d 1394 (9th Cir. 1995). It distinguished another case where the Ninth Circuit stated that the maximum injunctive relief a bankruptcy court can grant is a stay through confirmation on the basis that the particular case involved a pre-confirmation controversy. See Solidus Networks, Inc. v. Excel Innovations, Inc. (In re Excel Innovations, Inc.), 502 F.3d 1086 (9th Cir. 2007). It also distinguished two cases where the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel and an Arizona District Court respectively denied confirmation of plans with only temporary post-confirmation injunctions against pursuing third parties because these opinions were "not per se rulings" and because those decisions turned on the particular factual circumstances of the cases. See In re Rohnert Park Auto Parts, Inc., 113 B.R. 610 (9th Cir. B.A.P. 1990); In re Regatta Bay, LLC, 2009 WL 5730501 (D. Ariz. 2009). It further argued that the Linda Vista "facts are neither prejudicial nor onerous toward the creditor Bank," and that the injunction is not permanent and does not release or otherwise change the guarantor's liability, but rather "simply delays the actions which are preserved." Despite this extensive analysis suggesting that the injunction could and should be approved, the court nevertheless found that the prior decisional law bound it to find that the plan violated section 524(e). Unfortunately, the court never explained why it concluded it was bound by distinguishable cases that did not establish a "per se" rule against the proposed injunction.
Courts normally will not deprive a guarantee beneficiary of its bargained-for collection rights against a non-debtor after confirmation because the guarantor has not subjected itself to the chapter 11 process and the protections to creditors that it affords. There may be scenarios however where protecting a guarantor from collection efforts enables it to make contributions to a debtor that substantially increase recoveries with insignificant cost to the guarantee beneficiary, and the Linda Vista opinion illustrates that courts may find room in the code and the case-law to approve a temporary injunction against collection efforts in these circumstances. Linda Vista also demonstrates however that it is difficult to get a court to approve an exception to the general rule of section 524(e) that a bankruptcy discharge does not affect the liability of any third party. Stay tuned though. The Linda Vista court said "[d]ue to the evolving state of the law concerning § 524(e), perhaps it is timely for the Circuit to take a fresh look at this issue." The debtor has taken the court up on this invitation and is currently appealing the decision.

Twitter moves to Ireland to escape NSA and protect Advertisers
Twitter for non US users moved to Ireland to escape NSA user information requests and protect advertisers
Twitter is subtly upgrading the way it categorises users in order to escape the NSA requests for user data. To be effective from 18th May, Twitter will be divided into two entities, Twitter for US citizens and Twitter International Company non-US citizens.
The Twitter Inc will host US citizen accounts while a separate subsidiary called Twitter International Company which will be based in Ireland will handle all non-US Twitter accounts. Twitter has chosen Ireland because of Ireland's lax privacy laws.
The reason for doing so is ostensibly to escape the court request which come from NSA and other US authorities about user details. Ireland has one of the most relaxed privacy laws in Europe and as per the current Irish laws any data processed in Europe is not made available to NSA without explicit consent of an Irish court. Moreover, the upcoming cyber security bill and privacy legislation in European Union which will make it more difficult for US-based companies to share data about European users with advertisers.
Twitter Inc which is headquartered in San Francisco will look after all the US based accounts. Twitter's Periscope will also be similarly affected. Twitter announced the future changes in the policy update post:
"If you live outside the United States, our services are now provided to you by Twitter International Company, our company based in Dublin, Ireland. Twitter International Company will be responsible for handling your account information under Irish privacy and data protection law, which is based on the European Union's Data Protection Directive.
If you live in the United States, the services will continue to be provided to you by Twitter, Inc., based in San Francisco, California, under United States law."
Of course avoiding the NSA or making advertising easier are not quite how Twitter explains the reason for the change:
As more people around the world use our services, we've expanded our operations to improve how we support our users globally.
However how this will work out in real world is really a big question Twitter will have to answer itself.

Last-minute participation makes Indian expat a millionaire
Mir has become Mahzooz's 15th millionaire in 2021
Two weeks ago, the lucky winner's wife won AED 1,000
30 September 2021, Dubai, UAE: An Indian national struck rich and won the AED 1,000,000 second prize in the 44th weekly live Mahzooz draw, becoming Mahzooz's 15th millionaire this year. The lucky winner matched five out of the six winning numbers, which were 9, 11, 21, 31, 32, 34. Dubai resident Mir participated in Mahzooz at the last minute: "Five hours before the live draw, I felt the impulse to purchase a bottle of water and enter the draw. I couldn't check the results as I was busy running errands," says the 34-year-old sales manager.
"My wife, who is also an active participant, won AED 1,000 just two weeks ago! So, I thought I too could win, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd win a life-changing amount of a million dirhams," says Mir.
Mir only came to know of his fortune the following morning: "I was at work when I received a call informing me that I've won a million dirhams, and thought I was being pranked by a radio station or something. When I realised that the call was genuine, I tried to talk, but my mouth couldn't form the words."
Mir moved to Dubai from his hometown of Hyderabad 12 years ago to pursue his higher education. But he decided to drop out when he found a lucrative job.
"Last year, I decided to resume my higher studies and take my professional skills to the next level. So, I went back to university. Now, thanks to Mahzooz, I have more than enough money, not only to pursue my master's but also fulfil all my dreams in life!"
His conviction in the advantages of a good education is why Mir plans to use his winnings to sponsor the education of some underprivileged students in India after earmarking a portion for savings.
Mahzooz's humanitarian aspect encouraged Mir and his wife to participate regularly in the draw: "The fact that Mahzooz channels the bottles of water we donate when participating in the draw to those in need makes it a meaningful experience because it allows me to help others while standing a chance to make my dreams come true."
The newly-made millionaire concludes with advice to others: "Keep participating. I'm a live example of someone who participated in the nick of time and won! Mahzooz proved to me that miracles can happen."
Entrants can participate in Mahzooz by registering via www.Mahzooz.ae and purchasing a bottle of water for AED 35. The next weekly live draw will be held on Saturday 2 October 2021 at 9:00pm UAE time. Mahzooz is inclusive to all who are eligible.

Three names in a month: former Australian Geographic rebranded again
By Nick Bonyhady
October 31, 2019 — 12.56pm
For the second time in a month, the former Australian Geographic stores have had to change their name.
Despite switching to the name "My Geographic" earlier in October, the stores will now trade under the banner "Curious Planet" after the owner of the Australian Geographic trademark raised concerns the new name was too similar to the old one.

The name changes are the latest awkward development from the Co-op bookshop, which owns the stores and has been criticised by students and academics for neglecting its traditional mission of selling cheap textbooks on campuses.
The Co-op's Australian Geographic stores briefly rebranded to "My Geographic" earlier this month after the Co-op was told it would lose the rights to the Australian Geographic name.
But Blue Ant Media, which owns the Australian Geographic magazine and holds the rights to its name, was concerned that the new name would confuse customers and demanded the Co-op pick something more distinct.
The parties settled their legal dispute earlier in the month, but a spokeswoman for Blue Ant Media said they were unaware what name the Co-op would choose to use.

On Thursday morning, the newly-christened stores Curious Planet were still answering the phones under their old name. When asked whether the store was Curious Planet or Australian Geographic, one team member said it was "both".
The Co-op, which rescued the Australian Geographic stores from an expected closure when it bought them from the Myer family in 2016, is expected to change over the store network's name at the close of business on Thursday after its usage period was extended during the legal dispute.
Co-op chief executive Thorsten Wichtendahl has described the science gadget and curio-selling Australian Geographic stores as the "growth platform" of the combined business.
The Co-op was originally founded by university students to sell cheap textbooks and is still owned by its more than 2 million members.
Its critics say that it has strayed from that mission by focussing on the Australian Geographic stores while closing many of its Co-op outlets and failing to provide some of the textbooks that students and academics need at many of those that do remain.
The Co-op declined to comment.
