Charles Scoville files Traffic Monsoon Ponzi decision appeal
Apr.15, 2017 in Traffic Monsoon
Seems kind of pointless claiming a company that solicited $50 investments on the promise of a $55 ROI wasn't an investment scheme, but if the alternative is admitting you conned thousands of people out of millions of dollars – here we are.
On April 14th Charles Scoville filed an interlocutory appeal against the recent granting of a preliminary injunction and denial of a motion to set aside the Traffic Monsoon Receivership.
The term "interlocutory appeal" applies to any appeal filed before the conclusion of the case. Whereas the granting of a preliminary injunction in MLM underbelly fraud cases typically brings about a settlement, Scoville is challenging the injunction decision.
Among other things, Scoville is arguing that Ponzi schemes that operate within the US but mostly solicit investment from offshore victims should be legal.
The appeal has been filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. It is unclear how long a decision on the appeal might take.
Traffic Monsoon investors meanwhile are being made to wait while Scoville delays the inevitable. Whilst the Receiver has control of seized assets, a victim claims process won't go forward until a decision on the appeal is made.
Update 6th August 2017 – On July 21st Charles Scoville requested an extension of time to file his petitioner brief.
On July 26th the court granted Scoville's motion.
A new deadline of September 5th has been set, with the court noting there will be no further extensions granted.
Update 17th October 2017 – As of October 17th, both Scoville and the SEC's appeal briefs have been filed.
The briefs don't cover any new ground and instead mostly reaffirm arguments presented before the District Court.
Scoville now has the option to file a response brief, after which it's up to the court to schedule oral arguments or publish a decision. No timeline yet.
Update 25th January 2019 – On January 24th the Tenth Circuit appeals court denied Charles Scoville's Traffic Monsoon appeal.

it appears the SEC/receiver is contacting TM affiliates, and affiliates are trying to avoid the calls, according to a conversation on FB an hour ago:
jose nunes: Anyone Getting Calls from Utah ?
TM affiliate: no why ?
jose nunes:Some of my referrals are!
TM affiliate: from the court ?
jose nunes: They are not answering the calls from +1 801716xxxx
net winners may try to avoid the calls, but at some point they'll be formally sued for clawback.
net losers had best communicate with the SEC/receiver and give depositions if required, if they want to hurry the process of getting their money back. the SEC is holding around 60 mil and all that money belongs to the net losers.
These guys are hiding out in the UK and think they're untouchable.
They've got Scoville feeding them all sorts of nonsense on Facebook so it's no wonder.
If the DOJ are building a criminal case they need to reveal their hand soon enough. Waiting for a year or more for the civil case to play out gives net-winners plenty of time to make up poverty stories.

utah is in the 10th circuit of the federal court system of the US.
according to statistics released in 2015, the 10th circuit court of appeals has the lowest Reversal Rate of district court rulings:
The chances of winning a reversal in federal appeals court in 2015 were 8.6 percent, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
A circuit-by-circuit breakdown of the reversal rates for 2015 is available elsewhere from the AO, and shows that the Seventh Circuit leads with 18.3 percent.
The Tenth Circuit has the lowest reversal rate: 4.7 percent.
This data was drawn from cases in six areas: criminal, prisoner petitions, U.S. civil, private civil, bankruptcy and administrative appeals.
Appeals of decisions in U.S. civil cases and prisoner petitions had the lowest rates of reversals, while the reversal rate for bankruptcy cases was 24.4 percent in 2015.
hmmm, an obvious ponzi [$50 in, $55 out] combined with an appeals court which has the lowest reversal rate = a recipe for disaster.
i mean, scoville barely has a chance of even 'getting lucky' at appeal. just a waste of a whole year, and net losers have to wait needlessly to get repaid.

The net winners in the UK won't have to pay the money back, if they didn't go to the US at the time or if they don't respond to the receiver or courts by submitting a a defense/argument.
The US can't recover the money from the UK as debt as they were not part of the court proceedings.
was resident in that jurisdiction or had its principal place of business, or the place of business through which the relevant transaction was conducted, there; agreed to submit to that court's jurisdiction or voluntarily appeared in the proceedings.
Otherwise, the judgment should not be registered. If it has already been registered, it must be set aside if jurisdiction is later challenged by the judgment debtor.

"The US" doesn't recover anything. The Receiver files a separate clawback lawsuit against the net-winners.
Yes but it can't be enforced in the UK!

Ah well, let's see how it plays out. Have to get this appeal out of the way first.

Jane, tell that to the UK members in Zeek that have been sued by the Receiver when they didn't settle with him.
As Oz said, it isn't the US that sues, but the Receiver. Same will happen in TM.
It makes no difference how soon or how late clawback start, the perps always claim poverty, or go to court trying to stop the Receiver from getting their ill-gotten gains back from them.
Out of curiosity I went and looked up the UK Zeek case. All nine named scammers had entries of default made against them.
That was in 2015, not sure of the collection status after that. I don't recall reading anything about it in the quarterly Receiver reports.
Thats correct, but the money wasn't recovered as it can't be enforced in the UK.
Apr 15th, 2017 at 5:15 pm Paul(Q)
Jane:
Anyone hoping that is potentially fooling themselves. There are many cases under common law of the UK courts enforcing foreign judgments as a debt.
See the last section (The common law) here out-law.com/topics/dispute-resolution-and-litigation/enforcement/enforcing-foreign-judgments-in-england-and-wales/
Unless, for example, a fraud is alleged there should be no need to re-examine the merits of the case at court so it will often be possible to obtain summary judgment.
This is a procedural device allowing the speedy and early hearing of a claim without the need for a trial. Such applications are normally successful and are largely a formality.
Of course what receivers take into account is the likely cost of retrieval vs the likely amount of retrieval and ensure it's offering good value for money.
For those net winners of small amounts maybe it's not worth chasing, for large winners it almost certainly is.

Jane: The net winners in the UK won't have to pay the money back, if they didn't go to the US at the time or if they don't respond to the receiver or courts by submitting a a defense/argument.
in the case of businesses like TM which are run over the internet, the law examines 'where a defendants actions were directed at', and not whether they had physically visited the jurisdiction where the crime originated. if defendants don't respond to the court, the court will issue a default judgement against them without trial.
i have not seen the TM website, did the website carry the address of the TM office in utah? under which jurisdiction was the affiliate agreement/contract signed?
if the answer to the above is – Utah, then the US federal court of Utah has jurisdiction over all foreign affiliates. this is because via access to the website of TM, and by signing the affiliate agreement/contract, foreign affiliates had Directed their Actions towards utah, USA.
the judgement of clawback by the utah court will be sent to the local jurisdiction of the netwinners, wherever they are. if the netwinner's local court is satisfied that the case was tried legally in the US, they will order the enforcement of the judgement.
it is possible that countries like iran or north korea etc may not honor judgements of a foreign court, but countries like canada, the US and the UK which are traditional friends with similar judiciaries, will usually honor money judgments in such clear cut ponzi cases.
it may take a few years but the receiver can keep at it, as she's getting paid out of collected funds and not financed by the state.
the madoff ponzi scheme clawback litigation is still going on, even now, 10 years after madoff was arrested.
netwinners can either live under the cloud of litigation for a large part of their lives, or do the easier and the honorable thing and settle with the receiver. as netwinners are also considered to be victims, generally receivers give netwinners a long rope and are sympathetic to their financial situation when making a settlement.
There are a number of case law where someone from the USA sued someone in the UK through the High Court, on appeal it was over turned, therefore, unless this applies below, they can't even get it into the High Court.
Broadly speaking, these Acts reflect reciprocal arrangements which streamline the enforcement of judgments obtained in the listed countries in England and Wales.
A judgment obtained in one of the countries listed must first be registered in the High Court in England and Wales. It must be final, for a specific sum, not in respect of fines or taxes, not obtained by fraud or in breach of a jurisdiction or arbitration agreement.
Together with various other practical requirements, the court must be satisfied that the originating court had jurisdiction to deal with the original claim. This will be satisfied in a number of ways, including if the debtor:
was resident in that jurisdiction or had its principal place of business, or the place of business through which the relevant transaction was conducted, there;
agreed to submit to that court's jurisdiction or voluntarily appeared in the proceedings.

The reason I know this, is that I was speaking to a person in Telexfree, they made over $400,000 and are in the UK. They instructed a lawyer in the USA to negotiate with the Receiver; the Receiver wouldn't accept the offer.
The Receiver would have to go through the High Court in the UK, costs $30,000 and can take 12- 18 months for the hearing. So is $30K spend worth going for $400,000? This person got a UK lawyer and the Jurisdiction is the issue for the Receiver, even though the Receiver got the summons from the USA court, stating jurisdiction and the $400,000 as a debt, it still can't be enforced.
In the UK you have the right to a fair hearing, most of these clawbacks are done without the knowledge of the Net Winner, and a default notice issued without the Net Winner even attending court, so they don't even have the chance to a defence.
Can you find one person (net winner) from the UK, in any of the Ponzi's that have gone down, that have had to pay the money back? They may have been sued, but has it been enforced?
anjali: in the case of businesses like TM which are run over the internet, the law examines 'where a defendants actions were directed at', and not whether they had physically visited the jurisdiction where the crime originated. if defendants don't respond to the court, the court will issue a default judgement against them without trial.
Clawback litigation in the TelexFree case was put on hold pending the outcome of Merril's criminal case. Merril was sentenced less than a month ago so it's still early days yet.
The Receiver would have to go through the High Court in the UK, costs $30,000 and can take 12- 18 months for the hearing. So is $30K spend worth going for $400,000?
Alone? Maybe not.
If you're processing multiple net-winner cases that run into the millions at once through the same lawfirm at a discount? Most definitely.
In the UK you have the right to a fair hearing
The same is true in the US. I imagine ignoring proceedings against you in the UK is as stupid as ignoring proceedings in the US.
most of these clawbacks are done without the knowledge of the Net Winner.
Nah. The scumbags are well aware of the lawsuits filed against them. Your TelexFree friend is proof enough.
The Zeek Rewards Receiver has stated he's seeing out clackback litigation and then he's done. This would include overseas net-winners so we'll have to wait and see how that plays out.
AFAIK only the Irish (from memory) litigation was dropped. Until we hear otherwise, the Zeek and TelexFree Receivers intend to collect from UK net-winners.
Jane: The reason I know this, is that I was speaking to a person in Telexfree, they made over $400,000 and are in the UK.
it's still early days. the telexfree trustee filed the clawback suits in jan 2016. we are in early 2017 now.
i'm sure the telexfree netwinner will try to drag the matter out in the UK court and of course s/he should get a fair hearing. due process of law will take some time, but i'm fairly confident that the trustee will be able to have the judgment enforced.
if you follow the case, please keep us posted here.
You can't do a class action (multiple) in the UK courts, every person has to sued individually.
Here is the question then. Take ZEEK net winners in the UK. I think it was $1.5 Million in total against 9 net winners. Worth taking to court?
How many have paid?
Oz: If you're processing multiple net-winner cases that run into the millions at once through the same lawfirm at a discount? Most definitely.
Nobody said anything about a class-action. I meant getting the lawsuits handled in bulk by one firm.
Of course. The Receiver's goal is to maximize victim recovery funds. Spending tens of thousands to get back $1.5 million is a no brainer.
As I've said, the Zeek Receiver has stated all that's left to wrap up is clawback litigation. How far that goes we'll have to wait and see.
Personally I don't think the stress is worth it but I'm not a scammer trying to hold onto ill-gotten gains.
He better be quick, its 5 years this August and if he takes the scammers through High Court (if he can) the hearing could take 18 months. 6 years is the cut off point in the UK for claiming a debt!

Care to point to a few, rather than merely just assert it? That way we can evaluate if they are similar circumstances or not to likely situations net winners here will find themselves in.
Jane: A judgment obtained in one of the countries listed must first be registered in the High Court in England and Wales. It must be final, for a specific sum, not in respect of fines or taxes, not obtained by fraud or in breach of a jurisdiction or arbitration agreement.
Fantastic. So you've quote part of the page I pointed to which is for a section "Other bilateral enforcement arrangements" which doesn't apply – ("These mainly cover former and current Commonwealth countries, and include Crown states such as the Isle of Man and Jersey." which the USA isn't one of).
I pointed in my first comment the section which does apply.
Please feel free to delude yourself into believing that the receiver will blindly give up on significant net winners in the UK.
It's amazing how people involved in these schemes always want to see the world working in their favour, I bet some of those hoping the law will ignore them now were those so convinced that their phony statements would influence the US proceedings just a few weeks ago.

the court appointed receiver considers it worth pursuing UK based net winners, a US court agrees, the experienced receiver announces his intentions publicly as well as revealing he is working with UK based legal firms,
At the same time, a random poster says such action is not possible, based on the anecdotal evidence provided by a self confessed recipient of a substantial amount of stolen funds in an unrelated and thus far incomplete matter.

UK – I do know one net winner who quietly settled at around $125K from $250K. Payment was made a little while back.
Show the evidence of the net winners that paid from the UK. Because at this present time there is no evidence to support it!
Thats my point.
littleroundman: Who to believe, who to believe ????
Show the evidence of the net winners that paid from the UK.
Individual settlements are confidential. Don't be a dumbass and ask for the impossible.
I'm not talking about settlements I'm taking about Court Orders to recover the money!
I have seen you OZ list net winners that settled, haven't I?
Oz: Individual settlements are confidential. Don't be a dumbass and ask for the impossible.
Now you're asking for court orders that don't exist because the Receivership is still working clawbacks out?
have seen you OZ list net winners that settled
No because like I said, individual settlements are confidential. Non affiliate settlements are separate lawsuits which I've reported on.
Next dumbass request is going into the spambin.

Poor Jane, Seems she thought she was a man at the time she tried posting as Peter. A lot of that going around of late.
I personally was waiting for Jane to post her law credentials since she loves stating the law according to her/him. Hard to know which persona is really her/him.
In short, when it is all said and done, the Receiver in the Zeek case will have succeeded in getting clawbacks from the major UK winners in Zeek, whether through a settlement agreement or court order. And Jane/Peter will still be claiming it is illegal to do so.

its amazing that Charles… still to this hour continues to post on skype about he has been taken and that TM is not a ponzi. UNREAL STUPIDITY.. and consistent…
Definition of Insanity is definitely taken place because he wants to do the same thing and expect different results..
Apr 17th, 2017 at 7:58 am GlimDropper(Q)
It's just ponzi groundhog day (all over again).
In the movie Bill Murray is condemned to relive the same day over and over until he ostensibly has learned all he can from it or leastwise, until he learned enough.
All we're seeing here is Mr. Scoville's endless loop of ponzi pitch prattle spooling out in a manner which doesn't necessarily indicate he has any insight into how many times he's said them to us all before.
I'm not saying that Charles is stuck in a temporal loop until he morally betters himself, the SEC doesn't have the special effects budget for that.
What I am saying is that he has no rational excuse for not knowing the company he was running wass a ponzi scheme and the day he wishes he was always waking up on is the one before all the people who used to adore him lost any excuse for not knowing it too.
Jane: He better be quick, its 5 years this August and if he takes the scammers through High Court (if he can) the hearing could take 18 months. 6 years is the cut off point in the UK for claiming a debt!
the receiver has to merely START a court action within 6 years, not have a final judgment within 6 years.
so, the receiver still has around 16 months to just 'initiate' his case against the zeek netwinners in the UK [if he hasn't already filed initial paperwork with the UK court].
goodluck living your lives with bailiffs/debt collectors chasing you around forever!
It's the foreign judgement which is treated as a debt. So any limit is from the time of the judgement, not from the time Zeek was shut down.
6 years is also only the limit against certain debt claims:
nationaldebtline.org/EW/factsheets/Pages/time-limits-for-recovering-debts/statute-barred-debt.aspx#
A foreign court judgement I would doubt to be one such (a local judgement is indefinite).
Regardless I'd trust the receiver to be getting the right advice from the right people over anyone just writing on a web forum.

Nope. That's up to the Receiver.

Article updated with news of petitioner brief extension.
Sep 13th, 2017 at 4:06 pm Oz(Q)
Scoville's attorneys filed an 80 page appellant brief today, which is basically a rehash of the arguments that lost in the District Court.
1. The SEC has limited jurisdiction because 90% of Traffic Monsoon affiliates are located outside of the US
2. No securities offering was made because Traffic Monsoon is a "traffic exchange"
3. the District court was incorrect in identifying Traffic Monsoon as a Ponzi scheme "due to the lack of legal and factual support"
We're all aware of the (tired) arguments so I'm not going to rehash them in a new article.
I will mention though that point 2 is particularly hilarious. Scoville basically spits the dummy over the SEC not acknowledging the traffic exchange side of the business and instead focusing on the $50 in, $55 out Ponzi aspect.
I imagine the SEC will file their response within a month (same arguments as they successfully argued int he District Court).
Scoville gets to file another response and then it's oral arguments and finally a decision.
I'll make a not of the SEC's response but doubt I'll be covering it in a separate article (already covered in our District Court case coverage).
The eventual Appeals Court decision is likely when I'll pen a new article.
Oh and Scoville is looking to excuse himself from the proceedings…
At a minimum, Mr. Scoville, individually, should be dismissed from this litigation.
The District Court has already concluded, "But, Mr. Scoville did not sell any AdPacks. His LLC, Traffic Monsoon, did."
Since Mr. Scoville admittedly did not sell any securities, the District Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over him because there is no federal question jurisdiction.
Therefore, this Court should, at a minimum, order Mr. Scoville, individually, dismissed from this litigation.
Quick, someone tell Paul Burks and James Merrill to file sentence appeals. They didn't commit Ponzi fraud, Zeek Rewards and TelexFree did.
(I feel sorry for the Judges having to go through and take this filing seriously…)
Sep 19th, 2017 at 3:02 pm anjali(Q)
Oz: Scoville gets to file another response and then it's oral arguments and finally a decision.
according to scoville's mom shirley scoville, the final decision could be around 6 months away:
Though our appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to be ruled on by around April 2018, we still need attorneys for issues with United States District Court for the District of Utah.
and of course, shirley scoville is running around FB begging for donations. if you donate to the TM legal fund you get entry to the 'hallowed' – Traffic Monsoon Booster Club!! but note that – 'Do not request to join UNTIL you have donated'.
with TM dead and gone and the appeals brief looking like a pisspoor rehash, god knows what special treats they're offering on the Traffic Monsoon Booster Club?? if its pole dances or something i'm in for a dollar!!

as the TM court case drags on to an inevitable ponzi finding, scoville's bestest friends and staunchest supporters and topmost earners from TM are falling away like shit flies off a fan.
ernie ganz- gone, sunil patel – gone, sharon james – gone and now immy aslam -gone.
and the 'going aways' are pretty ugly with these ponzi scamsters throwing as much muck as they can on each other!
just yesterday scoville has launched an FB attack on immy aslam accusing him of desertion, deception and blaming the entire TM dubai bank account lie on him:
Imy never defended me since this case was filed.. everyone wondered where did he go?
he was afraid, because he knew.. he absolutely knew he had been lying to everyone .. and all the evidence coming forward exposed all his lies… that's why he hid.
so what was this plan with the Dubai bank account…? when will you be honest about whatever you were up to?
Obviously there is no bank license.. so? I was deceived.. it was a lie.. nothing came through.. ever… it was a lie.. which you helped purport.
there's also an interesting piece of gossip about a woman called 'hinda':
xyz: And what abt Hinda n that girl u married [edit: possibly alluding to scoville's last wife samera]
They took advantage of u didn't they
scoville: I've asked Hinda to admit what she's done to me and if she doesn't by next week I'll be posting about her.. she shouldn't be able to get away with what she did.
Is it possible Imy hired her as a prostitute to lead me on, and told her I would give her all she wanted if she married me?
Who knows.. but she certainly lead me on, no doubt about it.. anyone back then could see.
ponzi pals fallouts are not a very pretty sight are they? scam fails and the shit comes pouring out! ugh.
Oct 11th, 2017 at 11:02 pm anjali(Q)
turns out hinda bakkali is scoville's ex wife who dumped him on their honeymoon.
i thought scoville's threat to expose hinda bakkali had something to do with TM, but its just a rant against his ex, accusing her of using him for money.
it's disgraceful and disgusting that scoville is publically humiliating his ex wife on facebook like this.
i'm bringing this up because it seems to me that scoville is slowly but surely losing his mind.
from his incessant repetitive posts about TM not being a ponzi, then moving on to attacking his TM ex-pals relentlessly, then to fixating about USI tech and ranting endlessly on about it, then to humiliating his ex wife publically- and now suddenly sermonizing about the bible and jesus christ and the devil and god knows what not.
scoville [few hours ago]: Then, as you experience a life accepting Christ vs not accepting Christ.. (scientifically testing) and experience the difference in how that experience is in contrast.. by measurements of reality and life experience, it's pretty clear that Jesus is the Son of God the Savior of the World.
guess this ^^ means scoville is not a muslim anymore.
even his rant against usi tech has taken on a full blown religious fervor now:
Do you still think USI-TECH is legitmate? Do you still believe in that lie?
I would give you the same advice to those who can't let go of the "Book of Mormon" as being from the devil..
Once you hear the truth, you'll see how clearly the devil made you believe in something completely stupid. If you continue to accept the lie, then you can no longer progress forward until you let go of the false idea and live in the truth.
If you seek wisdom, you'll see how clearly the Book of Mormon and other things untrue is just a lie you're believing.
between themselves, scoville and sunil patel can keep a whole host of psychiatrists in business with their batshit craziness.
Oct 12th, 2017 at 3:56 am Oz(Q)
Scoville's just mad his "white guy in the muslim brotherhood" fantasy fell apart.
He probably genuinely believed people were interested in him and not just getting on the inside of his Ponzi scheme.
The second the SEC shut down Traffic Monsoon he was dropped like a hot potato by the UK muslim community he associated with. Ouch.
That and his parents have probably been working him the last year. They are, after all, the ones controlling his life financially at the moment.
The SEC filed their brief on October 16th.
It's 74 pages long. I've gone through it and it looks pretty solid.
As with Scoville's brief there's no new arguments though (it's an appeal), so I'm holding off publishing an article till a decision is made.

Its so ridiculous because Charlie Scolooserville admits that 2% of sales are NON ADPACKS yet he pays out 10% comission for each adpack and 10% earnings for each adpack which equates to 20% Minimum???
Am I missing something here? How can he claim that he had/has/will have enough funds in his account to pay out all outstadning shares with associated profit if the 2% information is true???

What is going to be interesting to me is if the SEC in their response to Charles motion for an appeal if they pointed out that Charles does not own TM, the Receiver does. Therefore he has no standing to file an appeal on behalf of TM. This alone will toss the appeal.
You can bet that Charles's attorneys will file a response to the SEC's response. If Charles is not the owner of TM and has no standing is in the SEC response, it will be interesting to see how his attorneys try to get around that one.

anjali: i'm bringing this up because it seems to me that scoville is slowly but surely losing his mind.
uh, looks like scoville has been grounded by his parents and has lost access to the internet and his phone.
his last post on facebook was on oct 15th, 2017, which went like:
The devil told dad a lie and half truth. Mom will be healed as a sign from God the Father due to true Faith in Christ that I have come unto the true God……
possibly worried about the impact of scoville's nutjob religious rants on FB, his mother shirley scoville posted around oct 21, 2017:
I have no news to share but that Charles is dealing with many losses, including the internet and his phone. We'll get to it when we can.
if scoville 'shows' signs of mental instability will regulators avoid pursuing him criminally? hmmm, food for thought.

Well, his parents clearly have a sense of humour, which requires the capacity for abstract thought. Shame they didn't pay more attention to the development of their son's mind before he scammed people out of millions of dollars.
Is he twelve years old or something?
Sounds like he's limbering up for his next career as a preacher. "I was a serial fraudster but then I found Jesus and was SAVED, give me your money and you can be saved too" etc etc.
There's nothing crazy about it. Religion is essentially the ultimate Ponzi scheme, only the big payday isn't next month or October 2018, it's after you die, so it's a Ponzi scheme that never collapses.

I have had many nice restaurant meals but one experience a couple of years ago keeps coming back to my mind. The food was good, the place nice but really not much better than many other places I have been to since. Different was what happened at the end. After we had payed we were given a pretty box with two complementary muffins for breakfast.
The general outlook for the tourism industry is still positive. However, The World Travel and Tourism Council thinks that the change in economic outlooks suggest a potential weakening of Travel & Tourism growth in 2013 in Europe and parts of Asia.

The idea of cross-selling is getting a customer to buy something else together with the product or service they already have chosen. The classic example is McDonald's standard question: 'Do you want fries with that?' Cross-selling does not mean manipulating your guests. It is about offering something the customer has genuine interest in, someting well-connected to the product they already have decided they want.
Do you offer additional services such as transport, meals, bicycle hire, a sightseeing trip, room-extras, tours , classes, activities or events? How about sports? Do you have a tennis court, fitness room? Tell your guests and let them book them as extras together with their room.
'A Picture paints a thousand words' is a saying which no doubt is very true. Especially for lodging websites because people judge by the visuals what to expect. Studies show the top two factors in the decision process where to stay are reviews and photos. The more appealing photos on a website the better. But photos not only make websites more attractive for visitors they can also have an impact on search results.
How do people decide what to buy or which services to use?

Bid to turn to Hoylake lifeboat station into cinema hits snag over land issue
Covenant issue means ambitious plans which included restaurant are all at sea

Ambitious plans to turn a former lifeboat station in Hoylake into a cinema and restaurant are all at sea due to a land issue.
It was hoped the "Beacon" centre would see a single screen cinema with associated cafe/bistro, restaurant and display space built on the site of the old lifeboat station on North Parade, which is now home to Hoylake Lifeboat Museum.
The RNLI moved out of the station after 110 years in November 2008 to a custom-built lifeboat station nearby. Hoylake Lifeboat Museum opened in the building in summer 2011.
However the plans have hit a major stumbling block after Wirral Council said a covenant meant the site was "unavailable".
And the group of Hoylake residents behind the proposals have now declared "The Beacon is Dead! Long Live the Beacon!" after receiving bad news in a letter from Wirral Council's acting chief executive David Armstrong.
The letter, posted on the Hoylake Beacon website, states: "You are aware that a covenant restricts the use of the land for any purpose other than in connection with the Hoylake and West Kirby Improvement Acts 1897 or associated Acts, and so a release from this would be required from Peel.
"There was considerable opposition to the last attempt to develop the site which caused us to withdraw the site from sale. In turn, we had to pull out of a deal agreed with Peel.
"In light of the above therefore, I have to advise that the site cannot be made available."
The letter also stressed there are "issues" over the "constrained nature of the site, lack of car parking, the affect on the amenity of neighbours.
Difficulties with servicing and its isolated position in respect of other facilities in Hoylake had also been raised by the council's head of regeneration and planning, Kevin Adderley.
Last week Mark Howard from the group said they hoped to attract investors and had no financial interest in the project.
He said it was hoped historic and heritage artefacts in the building would remain.
But Hazel Langley, chairman of Hoylake Lifeboat Museum, said museum trustees had no input into the proposals and were continuing with their work as planned.
She said they "would not rely on the fulfilment of this scheme for the museum's future".
A spokesman for Wirral Council said: "Wirral Council owns the land, albeit with a covenant held by Peel Holdings, so a release from this would be required from Peel. For these reasons, we are unable to release the land."

OUE Hospitality Trust DPS reports 4.9% increase in DPS for 3Q 2015
Nov 12, 2015 OUE Hospitality Trust, SGX:SK7
Singapore-listed OUE Hospitality Trust (SGX:SK7) announced on12 November that it has achieved revenue and net property income (NPI) of SGD32.7 million and SGD28.8 million respectively for it 3Q 2015.
The figures represent an increase of 14.6% and 13.5% respectively as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. "The higher revenue and NPI are attributable to Mandarin Orchard Singapore's better operating performance and the contribution from Crowne Plaza Changi Airport which was acquired on 30 January 2015", said the trust in its statement on the results.
Subsequently OUE Hospitality Trust's distributable income and distribution per stapled security (DPS) were SGD23.0 million and 1.72 Singapore cents respectively - representing an increase of 5.8% and 4.9% over the SGD21.7 million and 1.64 cents Singapore cents paid in 2014 respectively.
"Mandarin Orchard Singapore continued to leverage on its prime Orchard Road location to attract leisure and corporate travellers, achieving a higher RevPAR for 3Q 2015 despite continued challenges faced by the hospitality industry", said Chong Kee Hiong, CEO of the REIT's manager.
"Mandarin Gallery is 98% committed as at 30 September 2015. It recorded an effective rental per square foot per month of approximately SGD25.0 in 3Q 2015 compared to SGD23.9 in 3Q 2014", he added.
OUE Hospitality Trust has however cautioned that the Singapore hospitality continues to face headwinds in the short term. "The hospitality sector will remain competitive with the expected supply of new hotel rooms", it said.
Units of OUE Hospitality Trust closed the trading day 1.84% lower on the Singapore Exchange to end at SGD0.80.

Le véhicule Pavesi TL 31 était à l'origine, un tracteur d'artillerie de taille inférieure au Pavesi P4-100, créé en 1918 par l'ingénieur Ugo Pavesi qui fonda à cette occasion la société Motomeccanica Brevetti Ing. Pavesi.

Le Pavesi TL 31 a été le premier tracteur d'artillerie italien spécialement conçu pour le halage de l'artillerie de campagne.

Histoire
Pendant la première guerre mondiale, l'ingénieur Ugo Pavesi avait observé les difficultés rencontrées par les agriculteurs pour labourer les champs par temps humide. Ni les bœufs ni les rares tracteurs agricoles ne pouvaient travailler dans un terrain boueux. C'est pourquoi il mit au point un engin qui pourrait travailler quelles que soient les conditions du terrain. Il inventa le premier tracteur agricole à 4 roues motrices et directrices qui se caractérisa par ses 4 énormes roues identiques de très grand diamètre et par son châssis articulé. Le tracteur fut présenté le  à Milan, puis à Paris l'année suivante.

Très vite remarqué dans les foires agricoles, le tracteur ne tarda pas à acquérir une forte renommée même à l'étranger. Seule difficulté son prix. Fabriqué de manière peu industrielle et avec sa haute technicité, il était vendu 60 % plus cher que le simple Landini ou Fiat. Plusieurs licences seront cédées à des constructeurs européens dont en France à la "Société Auxiliaire Agricole" sous le nom d'Agrophile-Pavesi. Il suscitera l'intérêt de l'armée française qui en acquit un exemplaire pour évaluation.

Il connaîtra 3 séries :
 La version P4 de base, lancée en 1918 avec un moteur 2 cylindres opposés de  développant 15/20 ch à 900 tr/min, pouvant fonctionner indifféremment à l'essence et au pétrole, qui restera en fabrication jusqu'en 1930,
 la version P4M, disposant d'un moteur 4 cylindres de  développant 40 ch à 1.300 tr/min, qui restera en fabrication jusqu'en 1942,
 la version P4S, lancée en 1927, avec le moteur du P4 mais dont la puissance a été portée à 25 ch.

Le tracteur P4 fut produit jusqu'en 1942 pour un usage agricole, il avait révolutionné le monde agricole mais sans connaître un très large succès commercial.

Le tracteur d'artillerie P4-100
L'ingénieur Pavesi s'était très tôt intéressé au marché militaire et avait toujours répondu aux appels d'offres de l'armée italienne, sans succès. Son modèle Pavesi 35 PS n'avait pas été retenu en 1920. Il décida alors, en 1923, de proposer une version vraiment adaptée pour le concours du ministère de la Guerre, lancé le , qui cherchait un "tracteur d'artillerie lourd à adhérence totale".

Le modèle présenté par Ugo Pavesi fut retenu par la commission UTSA du  mais reçut quelques modifications par l'armée qui l'allongea en le baptisant Mod. 25 et commanda une présérie de 25 exemplaires. Après les essais et tests, l'armée apporta d'autres modifications à la boîte de vitesses notamment et fut rebaptisé Mod. 26.

L'armée italienne voulait passer une commande de  mais l'usine Pavesi était incapable d'assurer la fabrication d'une telle quantité dans les délais imposés. La société Fiat et sa filiale SPA avaient participé aux fournitures des composants modifiés et furent invitées à racheter la licence de fabrication des versions militaires.

Le TL 31
En 1925, la société Motomeccanica de l'ingénieur Pavesi conçut deux véhicules dont l'architecture se basait sur celle du tracteur P4, en format réduit. Il s'agissait d'un véhicule de reconnaissance et d'un camion léger de commandement et de liaison pour l'artillerie. Les deux véhicules ont été présentés à la commission pour la traction mécanisée au premier semestre 1927 mais les essais menés sur le camion léger ne suscita pas l'intérêt de l'armée et son développement fut interrompu.

Au second semestre 1929, le ministère de la guerre italien commande à Fiat 4 exemplaires d'un tracteur léger dérivé du véhicule de reconnaissance Pavesi. À la fin de l'année 1930, la commission pour la motorisation jugea satisfaisants les résultats obtenus par le nouveau tracteur léger auprès de la batterie à laquelle les 4 exemplaires avaient été assignés. Le tracteur fut homologué sous la désignation de Pavesi L 140, avec l'appellation militaire de Trattore Leggero modello 31 - TL 31. Une commande est passée à Fiat pour 150 exemplaires du TL 31. Les livraisons s'échelonneront jusqu'en .

Les principales utilisations
Dès le déclenchement de la guerre civile espagnole, tous les TL 31 italiens disponibles sont affectés au CTV pour servir au halage des canons de 75/27 mod.11 et des obusiers de 100/17. On en comptait 71 exemplaires dans la péninsule ibérique en , mais il semble que 133 TL 31 aient été engagés en Espagne au total. À l'issue du conflit, les tracteurs furent cédés à l'armée espagnole dans laquelle ils servirent jusqu'au début des années 1950.

En Italie, le TL 31 a été remplacé par le Fiat SPA TL 37 pour motoriser l'artillerie divisionnaire et par le Fiat OCI 708 CM pour l'artillerie de montagne.

Caractéristiques techniques
Le TL 31 était un tracteur à 4 roues motrices constitué, comme le P4-100, de 2 trains possédant chacun un essieu et reliés entre eux par un flasque cintré en arc de cercle. La suspension fut améliorée par le recours à des ressorts à lames couplés à des amortisseurs hydrauliques, ce qui obligea à incurver les éléments de châssis des 2 trains et à courber la barre de liaison.

Le moteur essence Fiat était très proche de celui du P4, mais de plus faible cylindrée. Il était équipé de pistons en aluminium et affichait un régime de rotation un peu plus élevé. Le réservoir était logé entre le capot moteur et le garde-boue avant gauche.

L'embrayage est du type mono-disque à sec et la boîte de vitesses a été modifiée. Les différentiels avant et arrière sont identiques mais seul le différentiel arrière est doté d'un dispositif de blocage.

Les roues à rayons sont cerclées de 2 bandes semi-pneumatiques de 1086x80 mm légèrement espacées. Pour améliorer l'adhérence en tout terrain, elles sont munies de 10 palettes rabattables sur la bande de roulement. Elles peuvent également recevoir des organes d'adhérence amovibles, sans avoir à retirer les palettes.

La carrosserie se distingue de celle du Pavesi P4-100 par la présence d'un pare-brise et les garde-boue plus enveloppants.

Australia's RBA cuts key rate to 4.5%
Published: Nov. 1, 2011 at 3:41 a.m. ET
SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — The Reserve Bank of Australia said Tuesday it was cutting its key cash interest rate by a quarter point to 4.5%.
The move, which followed a full year of steady interest rates, had been widely expected by economists after a recent tame quarterly inflation reading. See report on Australia inflation data.
The Australian central bank's interest-rate setting board highlighted signs of slower global trade along with lower commodity prices as it announced the lower rate.
"Trade performance ... is starting to see some effects of a significant slowing in economic activity in Europe, where the prospects are for economic weakness to continue. Commodity prices, while still at high levels, have generally declined over recent months," the board said.
India's struggling entrepreneurs
With overall growth at moderate levels, inflation likely to be close to target and confidence subdued outside the resources sector, a more neutral stance of monetary policy would now be consistent with achieving sustainable growth and a medium-term inflation target of 2% to 3%, the board said.
Australian shares remained in negative territory after the decision was announced. The S&P/ASX 200 index (XJO) traded down 1.5% as miners weighed.
The Australian dollar AUDUSD, -0.38% traded at $1.0435 after the announcement, down 1% for the day, according to FactSet data.
Following Tuesday's move, economists were wary about penciling in further rate cuts for Australia.
"While rates have been cut, no one should expect a follow-up move any time soon," said Craig James, chief economist at CommSec.
James said that the Reserve Bank has a history of remaining on the sidelines for long periods of time.
"This rate cut may be similar to the reduction made in December 2008 — the only interest-rate change delivered in a 27-month period. Certainly, the November rate hike of last year was the only rate change delivered in a 17-month period," he said.
Paul Bloxham, chief economist for Australia and New Zealand at HSBC, echoed this view.
"The statement seems to suggest that this was just a correction back to a more neutral setting. Conditions for growth in Australia remain in place, but the concerns about inflation have eased, given the recent lower-than-expected [consumer price] estimates," Bloxham said.
"There were no hints in the statement that the RBA is considering further moves," he said.

In a Comment in this week's edition of The Lancet, Professor Simon Wessely from the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, takes a critical look at the case of Anders Breivik. He concludes, among other things, that there is still the widespread misconception that outrageous crimes mean mental illness.
In September 2011, Professor Wessely was asked by the Norwegian Government to join an International Advisory Council tasked with reviewing the emergency response, both medical and psychosocial, to the dreadful events of July 22, 2011.
Professor Wessely believes the Breivik case highlights two popular misconceptions. First, that outrageous crimes must mean mental illness. The second misconception is that the purpose of psychiatry is to 'get people off'.
The Comment article is available from The Lancet website.
With the help of researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, NICE has issued its first ever official guidance focusing on improving service users' experiences of mental health services.

I found the tree bark on this card (yes, it's real bark) in a design store sale. It's very thin and easily cut. I don't know what it's original purpose was for, some sort of table decoration, but I think it's perfect for cards.
The digital stamp and sentiment is from the DigiStamp Boutique Alvin Squirrel Set. This is a great set. I think it works well for everyone—all age groups—male or female. The digital papers are from Sassy Design's Acorn Digital Paper Pack. This is the second card I've made with my new Crafts-too step card die; I love it!
The acorn embellishment is another find at the same design store earlier in the year. Since I don't have ANY craft shops around me, I have to hunt for my embellishments in different places.
I'm linking up with: A Gem of a Challenge #136 birthday card for a boy, Kraftin' Kimmie All About the Boys challenge #265, Paper Creators Crafts challenge #34 Anything Goes, Sister Act Card Challenge #90 Anything Goes, and DigiStamp Boutique January 15 customer competition.
What a fabulous card! It is so sweet and unique! I really love that it has real bark!
wow! Gorgeous card and fabulous colouring!!!
This is a fabulous card, such a brilliant image and design.
Oh! I absolutely love this!! Stunning colouring, perfect papers (and wood) and that acorn is wonderful.

JAMES BARKER BAND INKS RECORDING DEAL WITH VILLA 40/SONY MUSIC NASHVILLE
Sony Music Nashville and Villa 40 announce the signing of James Barker Band to Villa 40/Sony Music Nashville today. The Platinum-selling group, originally from Ontario, Canada, are celebrating the record deal signing by releasing "Over All Over Again," their first release through the label, today. Listen here.
"It's not every day you start working with an act that already has an engaged, global fan base," says Villa 40 co-founder Brad Margolis. "We look forward to collaborating with our partners at Sony Music Nashville in continuing to build the band's success in Canada and making them a household name in the U.S."
"We're so excited to be putting new music out and starting this new chapter in the U.S.," adds JBB frontman James Barker. "They've been so great at allowing us to chase down different creative avenues while staying true to our sound. We had the chance this past year to dig in on the writing front, which actually made it harder to choose this single since we had so many tracks to pick from."
"In the end, 'Over All Over Again' just felt like the right song at the right time," he continues. "There's a kind of blueness to it from the darkness of the chords and melody, but the tempo keeps it clear of any gloomy territory. I love the lyrics because there's a little bit of that 'I know this is going to hurt like hell tomorrow, but it's going to be good tonight' thing, done in a clever way that makes it a quintessential, heartbreaking country song."
Written during the pandemic over two days in a locked-down writing room in Nashville by James Barker, Travis Wood, Gavin Slate and Todd Clark, "Over All Over Again" brings a new blues undertone to JBB's repertoire. Following the incredible success of multiple GOLD and PLATINUM-certified tracks, "Over All Over Again" paints the cinematic story of a cyclical romance destined to repeat itself, even if it consistently ends in heartbreak — "Come dawn girl, you're gone girl and I'm just hungover. Just like that it's over all over again."
Building off the groundbreaking success and fan base JBB has built in Canada, today's signing with Sony Music Nashville and Villa 40 has cemented their international success story that extends far beyond North American borders. In 2019, JBB was the only Canadian-signed artist to be invited to perform at the official C2C events in the UK, Germany and Holland. They then headed back across the pond twice more that year to Greece, followed by a 12-city tour which included stops in London, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Scotland and Germany.
Always thinking of their fans first, to lift spirits and stay connected during the early days of COVID-19 JBB hosted an unprecedented 75 consecutive, one hour shows on their Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok social media channels. These live shows are still occurring weekly. Fans can expect to hear more new music coming later this year.
About James Barker Band James Barker Band have fueled an incredible story over the last six years, largely on their own, from playing opening spots in small Ontario bars to charting multiple No. 1 singles, garnering hundreds of millions of global streams, and headlining some of Canada's largest country music festivals. Now, with new music on the way, the four-piece is continuing their meteoric ascent in Nashville. Made up of James Barker (lead vocals/guitar), Taylor Abram (guitar/background vocals), Connor Stephen (drums), and Bobby Martin (bass), the members of James Barker Band grew up within an hour of each other in rural towns surrounding Toronto. In 2017, they sent their single "Chills" straight to the top of Billboard 's Canadian Hot 100 chart. The upbeat anthem also achieved Platinum status, alongside other songs from their introductory LP Game On, earning them numerous national awards. In addition, these best-friends have already amassed another six GOLD-certified and a PLATINUM-certified tracks which include "There's A Drink For That", "Just Sayin'," "It's Working," "Lawn Chair Lazy," "Good Together, and " "Keep It Simple" (PLATINUM). Now, as the rising stars reposition themselves in Nashville, many miles from their hometowns, the opportunities are limitless – but the band remains grounded in their small-town roots.

This past October absolutely flew by with all of the events, classes and life that happened. From a pumpkin party to a fall festival, it was the perfect start to the season. This October certainly did not disappoint.
To kick off the season, we had a Pumpkin Party complete with lots of food, old-time Halloween movies, a photo booth + good friends. We had homemade chili, mac-and-cheese, bacon-wrapped weenies, spinach dip + lots of sweets. And no pumpkin party would be complete without some pumpkin carving and decorating!
We ended October by going to the annual Micanopy Fall Festival. For Kev, this was his first time going to the festival. It was great to re-visit the festival and share stories from last year's. We also met up with my sweet friend Montana as well. My favorite part of the day was listening to the band, eating a slaw-dog and looking at all the crafts. I got some great ideas for upcoming Christmas gifts.
Montana + I couldn't pass up this cute Fall scene!
I ran into some of my sweet, sweet residents from 3 years ago.
October absolutely flew by, and I can't believe it's already November. I still have some Fall bucket list items that I'm hoping to finish in the upcoming weeks before December.

How about putting your bike in a backpack?
Of course, not any bike will fit in a backpack in less than 5 minutes. You'll need a folding bike. And not any folding bike either. In my case, I've chosen the Brompton folder specifically for its ability to travel on my back.
Also, not any backpack will welcome a Brompton. Few off-the-shelf rucksacks will.
No satisfactory off-the-shelf, ready to buy solutions? Well, I'll make my own bag!
I've teamed up with fellow lightweight backpacker Jean-Christophe LEBEAU in Paris. An engineer by day and a DIY guy by night, he sews impressive backpacks, sleeping bags and tarps.
Additionally, Jean-Christophe invented a special backpack container pouch that fastens to the Brompton's main frame by 2 cross-inverted elastic straps.
Look ma: the backpack is on my bike! No need to carry anything. And the Brompton folds even with the backpack attached.
Attach the backpack container pouch (with the backpack inside) to the bike frame.
Detach the backpack container pouch.
Detach the left MKS AR-2 Ezy toe-clipped pedal. The right pedal stays on the bike.
Place the pedal into a plastic bag. The pedal has an exposed greased part.
Pull out the backpack from the backpack container pouch.
Place the folded Brompton inside the backpack.
Pull out the Brompton's seat post with its seat to reduce the package volume (you will need to push the seat post back in to pick up the bike out of the backpack).
Place the seat post horizontally between the main frame and the pedal crank.
Place the MKS AR-2 Ezy toe-clipped pedal and my Assos half-gloves inside my Giro Atmos helmet.
Place the helmet on top of the folded Brompton.
Clasp the adjust squeeze buckle.
Put the backpack on the back.

FR / Le post de Jean-Christophe LEBEAU en français.
2008-12-06 Added warning against picking up the folded Brompton with seat post removed. Thanks to Greg SMITH, Brompton, for this suggestion. Added link to French page.
Doesn't the metal and uneven distribution of bike parts poke into your back? I would think it would be uncomfortable to wear the loaded backpack.
Also, I'd point out that many commuters need to carry a backpack or some other bag with work or school material anyway, so they might already have a backpack full of stuff they need for work, and wouldn't be able to carry an additional backpack for the bike. I guess it just depends on the needs of the individual.
Doesn't the metal and uneven distribution of bike parts poke into your back?
Yes, the bike parts do poke into the back.
However, I did my best to reduce the number of pointed parts on my Brompton. For example, I have added a plastic locknut protector for the front wheel. It converts a spear-like axle into a flat surface.
I would think it would be uncomfortable to wear the loaded backpack.
It's not the most comfortable backpack on the planet… If used as is.
However, you can pad the back section with stuff you carry anyway. For example, I sometimes use my spare clothes, or an empty Ortlieb backpack. The contents of the Ortlieb backpack go into the bike backpack.
With padding, the backpack is surprisingly comfy.
Also, I'd point out that many commuters need to carry a backpack or some other bag with work or school material anyway, so they might already have a backpack full of stuff they need for work, and wouldn't be able to carry an additional backpack for the bike.
Well, I do usually carry an additional backpack and my bike backpack rolls down so small (see pictures) and weighs so little I can always stick it inside.
That's the main difference compared to the off-the-shelf bike-containing backpacks. Ours is light and compact.
I guess it just depends on the needs of the individual.
- Can you put the brompton in the bag without pulling out the saddle??
- As I read in a Forum, are you going to finally sell it??
Can you put the Brompton in the bag without pulling out the saddle?
No. As you can see in the picture, the saddle sticks out way too much.
As I read in a forum, are you going to finally sell it?
Honestly, I still don't know. I already have 3 full-time jobs: photography, design, journalism. Making and selling backpacks would become yet another full-time job.
We're looking into possible solutions with Jean-Christophe.
If you have ideas, please suggest.
Brilliant solution (doubly appreciated as a light wt backpacker myself). If you are not going to be able to sell this do you have the template so I can attempt to make my own?
It means you have to take of the saddle first before you can take out the pen from the bottom side. I am going to make a bag as well to take the bike as hand luggage in the airplane. Since i have the rear carriage i can take things there. On the front i mounted my ortlieb office bag on the brompton frame which i bought through a shop in london over internet.
I'm very sorry people, but Jean-Christophe and myself are still stuck and overscheduled. No movement towards manufacturing and selling the bag.
And we have zero templates or drawings: everything was done adjusting prototypes, then redoing, then again adjusting, etc., before sewing the final variant. So we'd have to spend some effort and time to make a technical drawing.
If anyone would like to help us put the design into manufacturing, we'd appreciate.
Interesting concept and execution. I am a pretty handy seamstress and designer. Since there are no technical drawings I might play around with it and try to make one, or something simiar for my Brompton as well. If so I will post schematics somewhere. Cheers!
Thanks Robyne. Sorry, we didn't make any technical drawings — we just made it without much help from Grafis or AutoCAD.
This is really fantastic. As someone with multiple jobs myself, I understand why you never made these, but I definitely would buy one.
I am exactly looking for this type of Brompton-Backpack/Rucksack solution!
Could you possibly make me one??
If the seat-post stays in the bike … the backpack won't close anymore or is this possible ?
Yes, the backpack will not close if the seat post remains in the bike.
Sorry people, I really need help from someone to get this into production. Jean-Christophe is even busier: he has a family now.
I can show how to make the bag and where to source the fabric, but as time has shown, I'm unable to launch this thing to market alone. Unless something changes radically.
do you put any padding in the straps?
can you send me some pictures of the bag without the bike in it? i'd like to try to make one for myself too.


and opened the doors for 2 days to people of Wedding and Berlin to lightheartedly enjoy the last days of summer with open air acrobatic performances, live concerts of international music stars, exquisite food, bee's wax candle workshops and honey degustations, children's theatre, guided tours and small flea market.
Radio Fritz Fm, celebrities like Komet and Jurassica Parka, audio producer Mike Hedges, musicians Jennifer Rostock, Fink, Kiesza, Yalta Club and many other worldwide names in StudioXBerlin. Contemporary art performances such as Wasabi Daiko Japanese drummers and Isabelle Schad's dance performances took place in the dance studio and Heather Allen's sculptures and Thomas Henriksson's paintings were part of a major exhibition in the ruins. Filmed in one go and backwards, 'Fräulein Sommer' the music video made by Robert Bittner in the ruins and garden has won numerous prizes worldwide including the MDR-Unicato Award. Bittner's production know-how was shared with Herbert Hoover Secondary School pupils, producing a 13-minute video from script to finished product which premiered at their school. The cultural engagement doesn't end here, we hold different workshops for local school children and make guided tours in English and German. Last but not least, we are proud to have honeybees, whose output is turned into Wiesenburg honey and mead by tenants, Apiarium.
In the early 1980s Die Wiesenburg hosted its first cultural events; a music concert and an art exhibition. The reborn location once again inspired many film makers in realising their creative visions. The history and impressiveness of this 120-year-old building attracted many architecture students who chose it as the subject of their theses. The Dumkows opened the doors for local schoolchildren to hold concerts, paint, put on plays and even camp here.
This made space available for a variety of future events. In 2008 the Italian film maker, Rebecca Salvatore, made a documentary film about Zhivago Duncan's paintings, and in 2009 Richard Kern did a photo shoot for Vice Magazine. In summer of the same year, Joe acquired a rare copy of Ted Browning's 'Freaks' from the British Film Institute which he showed to an invited audience of 200 guests.
in all parts of the ruins. First came 'Ruine' in February, with international artists resident in Berlin and beyond, followed by 'Timespace', a show by 5 Swedish artists who also installed an impressively beautiful bar. The event was sponsored the Swedish Embassy. Next came 'Dirty Fingers' organised by Ulrika Segerburg, Heather Allen and Thomas Henriksson as part of the Wedding Cultural Festival. It attracted over 1000 visitors during the weekend and was opened by the then mayor of Berlin, Dr. Christian Hanke. Finally, 'A Summer Night's Dream' with musicians, artists and finger food was staged in the main hall of the former men's shelter.
with bands like Outlier, Carol and the Fall and Morrlock Dillema recording tracks and videos on the premises. David Krause recorded his Klub Krause live show in the main hall with well-known local personalities, Komet and Henriette Pfeiffer and the bands U3000 and LOT. The show was the precursor to his Fritz Radio Forum Fatal in 2016, recorded in Studio X Berlin in Die Wiesenburg.
to consolidate our aims of protecting and developing Die Wiesenburg as a cultural and social venue. The association in collaboration with the architecture collective Siebeneck, drew up plans for the whole site, which were presented to its new owners, the city-owned housing association Degewo. Prior to its founding, Robert Bittner and Heather Allen had been building a media presence for Die Wiesenburg with a Facebook page, broadcasts on RBB and Arte TV, and building up support from politicians concerned with its social and cultural importance for Wedding and Berlin. Spiegel online came to interview us, followed by TAZ, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Ex-Berliner, amongst others, and the Genossenschaft für urbane Kreativität eG selected us as one of seven outstanding urban city projects for the 'Players of Change' conference in Berlin.
'to protect this historic place from further ruin and open it up to neighbourly and social activities in this district'. In 2014, Degewo became the official owner of Die Wiesenburg. Together with Quartiersmanagement Pankstraße Wedding we aim to continue fulfilling neighbourhood management's guiding principle of 'Creative Living, Learning and Working' in Die Wiesenburg's future development.


Our collaboration with the Art Gallery of Mississauga, The City, the Symphony, and many others, has earned us a good reputation.
When LAC's management needed marketing collaterals, but did not have a big budget, they turned to MängaDesign for help. We started with a marketing brochure designed to ignite interest in the Centre, energize its many stake holders and prime the community for adoption.
Supported by an 'expanding universe' metaphor the brochure captured the audience's imagination, and powerfully conveyed the new Centre's potential. It garnered praise from all corners of the city, including the Mayor's Office. The fluidity of the building project and the need for cost-control, demanded a soft approach to branding until a definitive image was established.

What's next for coffee?
Jenn Rugolo, editor at the Specialty Coffee Association, shares her forecast
"I think a big trend we'll start to see blossom as lockdowns end and consumers become more comfortable leaving their homes is a drive to build an experience.
"Coffee-drinkers have had to learn how to make or recreate their favourite beverages at home, so they'll need something beyond great coffee to entice them back into shops. From what I'm seeing already, I think this will either be through increased acts of service and hospitality but also, perhaps, in offering more complex drinks than could be easily achieved at home or building/designing unique spaces.
She agrees that social media proficiency has been vital in driving and maintaining a customer base – proven during the pandemic and set to continue. "Anecdotally, those shops who performed best in the pandemic were prolific in their communications about their offerings and changes to service as lockdowns began and eased, further cementing cafés and coffee shops as community centers, even in the digital world. I think we'll continue to see social media play an increasingly important role in driving a return to café spaces, understanding community desires to build more customer-centric offerings, and driving growth."

This sector covers all venture capital and private equity jobs, with opportunities for roles ranging from analysts and associates to directors.
Private equity funds are funds that invest in the equity (i.e. shares) of companies that are not listed on stock exchanges. There are two broad categories for private equity recruitment: venture capital funds and buyout funds. Venture capital funds typically invest in one of three industry sectors: IT, telecommunications and life sciences. Unlike buyout funds, which usually invest in a company only once, venture capitalist funds will typically participate in different rounds of financing. For example, 'seed investors' invest at the start of a company's life, whereas 'late stage' investors invest shortly before a company floats on the stock market.
While venture capital investors typically focus on young companies or start-ups, buyout funds almost always put their money into established business. They also use debt to finance some of the transaction, invest more money than venture capitalists, and usually have control of the company they're investing in - whereas a venture capitalist will only own a part share.
There are several types of buyout transaction. These include:
MBOs - Management Buyouts. This is when the team of executives who are already managing a particular company decide to buy it from the current owners.
MBIs - Management buy-ins. This is when a team of managers from another company buys a rival from the same sector.
LBO - Leveraged buyouts. All buyouts are leveraged (i.e. they involve debt). Leveraged buyouts are simply distinguished by the fact that they are initiated by buyout firms themselves - or by companies who are trying to sell a division - rather than by teams of managers.
Buyout funds typically use a company's assets as collateral for loans to finance the deal. This means that companies that already have high levels of debt are usually unattractive to private equity investors and won't usually be buyout targets.
Once a buyout fund has acquired a company, it may then borrow additional large sums secured against the company's assets and use some of that money to pay itself a dividend before it sells the company to a trade buyer or floats it on a stock exchange.
Private equity and venture capital jobs and careers fall into several categories, including analysts at the junior end, who build financial models and crunch numbers to help establish whether an investment is viable; principals who play a key role in appraising whether to do a deal and managing the process if it goes ahead, and partners who lead the fund, seek new investments and liaise with investors. Funds also employ investor relations and operations professionals.
