PRESS MEMO: Why Editorial Boards Should Weigh in on Pennsylvania Needs for a Real Severance Tax Now
Stephen Herzenberg | 06/28/2017
Since the late 2000s, Pennsylvania editorial boards have weighed in periodically on Pennsylvania's need to enact a "real" severance tax on the value of gas extracted each year, like taxes that exist in every other major gas-producing state. In this press memo, we share our recent report that makes clear that now would be a good time for editorial boards to weigh in again.

Re: Why Editorial Boards Should Weigh In on Pennsylvania's Needs for a Real Severance Tax Now
Since the late 2000s, Pennsylvania editorial boards have weighed in periodically on Pennsylvania's need to enact a "real" severance tax on the value of gas extracted each year, like taxes that exist in every other major gas-producing state. A new report by the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center (PBPC) makes clear that now would be a good time for editorial boards to weigh in again.
Since 2015, debate about a severance tax has ebbed. A glut of gas depressed Pennsylvania prices because we lacked the pipelines to transport gas to less depressed markets. Low prices allowed drillers to add the cry of "poverty" to their usual overinflated claims about the impact of a tax on investment and jobs or the amount that drilling companies already pay in other taxes. Now, with more pipelines operating, prices are rebounding and the amount of money Pennsylvania loses each year because it does not have a severance tax will grow rapidly.
Instead of a severance tax, Pennsylvania has a per well "impact fee." Enacted under Gov. Corbett, the impact fee raises a bit of money from the gas industry, but it also allowed the governor to claim he had not violated his "no-tax" pledge. Since 2011 that impact fee has raised about $200 million per year on average. But here's the rub: because impact fees are unrelated to the amount and value of gas extracted each year, collections are falling (from a peak of $221 million in 2011 to $173 million in 2016) even though production is now five times it's 2011 level.
Worse, impact fees won't grow much as prices recover and the market value of gas extracted grows. The Independent Fiscal Office projects that prices will recover to $2.62 per thousand cubic feet in 2018 (from a trough of $1.43 in 2015), and that the market value of gas from Pennsylvania unconventional gas wells will grow 80% from 2016 to 2018. The amount collected in impact fees will barely change. As this happens, the effective tax rate on unconventional gas extraction in Pennsylvania because of the impact fee will drop to a third the level of the West Virginia severance tax — and then down from there.
Pennsylvania is now losing nearly half a billion dollars annually because of the lack of a severance tax like West Virginia's — or like Republican representative Kate Harper's bill, which imposes a 3.5% severance tax on top of the current impact fee. As production grows and prices rebound to more than $3 per thousand cubic feet by 2021, lost revenues will rise further.
The new PBPC brief shows that, as well as paying less in impact fees, drilling companies still pay little in corporate net income taxes — perhaps less than $10 million annually and certainly less than $40 million, a tiny fraction of the revenue lost because we lack a severance tax. In 2017, two thirds of Pennsylvania gas drillers are structured as "pass through entities," many of which pay Pennsylvania's 3.07% personal income tax rate on their income, not the 9.99% corporate net income tax (CNIT). For those subject to the CNIT, federal and state tax breaks and corporate tax loopholes that shift reported profits out of Pennsylvania reduce drilling company taxes.
The current status quo is good for extraction companies' profits, but not for Pennsylvanians. Without fair revenue coming in while our natural resources go out, it is no wonder that Pennsylvania ranks 47th in the nation in terms of per capita investment in higher education, while natural gas-rich Wyoming, North Dakota, and Alaska rank first, second and fourth — or that we rank 46th in the nation measured by the state share of K-12 education funding.
Pennsylvania's lack of a severance tax is about to become an even bigger windfall for gas companies. We hope editorial boards will encourage lawmakers to end this windfall before it grows. With six months left in the tax year, a severance tax can make this year's budget better for people in Pennsylvania. Long term, it can contribute even more to the people, economy, and infrastructure of our state.


"Today we are laying a solid foundation for the development of high technologies in Serbia for many years to come," Popovich said. "Improving economic efficiency, developing agriculture, medicine, education and quality of life are difficult to imagine without the use of the peaceful atom. Signing the intergovernmental agreement marks the beginning of close and substantive cooperation in the field of innovation, digital, scientific and technical cooperation with our historical partner - Russia," he added.
The intergovernmental agreement establishes a wide range of cooperation areas between the two countries, Rosatom said. These include, but are not limited to: assistance in the creation and improvement of nuclear energy infrastructure in Serbia; the design, construction and modernisation of nuclear research reactors; development of nuclear medicine; implementation of fundamental and applied research in the field of nuclear energy; innovations, new technologies and modern digital technologies in the field of nuclear energy; radiation technologies application in agriculture, industry; and education, training and retraining of specialists for the nuclear industry.
"Serbia has unique potential and experience in the development and use of nuclear technologies," Likhachov said. "We have identified projects that will combine the human and technical competencies of Russia and Serbia. In particular, the implementation of a project to build a centre of nuclear science, technology and innovation will not only give a powerful impetus to bilateral cooperation between Russia and Serbia in a number of innovative areas, including medicine, industry and agriculture, but will also serve as a platform for cooperation at the level of the entire Central European region. Of course, all the projects will strictly comply with the highest standards of nuclear and radiation safety, taking into account the central role of the International Atomic Energy Agency in the development of such norms and standards," he added.
The intergovernmental agreement was signed as a follow-up to the joint statement on the principles of cooperation in the field of innovation and technological development in the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, which was signed in May last year during the AtomExpo conference and exhibition in Sochi, Russia.


This was my first time cooking Dandelion - something I've wanted to try for years. My boyfriend wanted me to look up how to cook it but I had a feeling it would be similar to cooking leafy greens like kale; just a quick stir fry ... and it was!
So good. I added a splash of apple cider vinegar as an afterthought and it turned it from just another healthy meal to OMGTHATWASAMAZING.
I also used a little bit of celery salt but couldn't really taste it.
Edit: Um. So I don't think those were actually Dandelion Greens because I bought it again at a later date, and they looked and tasted COMPLETELY different. Bitter, bleh. So I think the first time, I actually took whatever veggie was next to them by mistake. Haha!

Piers Sellers Interview at Goddard Space Flight Center Hyperwall
Piers Sellers, who passed away on Dec. 23 more than a year after learning he had pancreatic cancer, leaves behind a dynamic legacy at NASA. As an astronaut he helped build the International Space Station. As a manager he helped lead hundreds of scientists. And as a public figure he was an inspiration to many for his optimistic take on humanity's ability to confront Earth's changing climate. But his most lasting contributions will be in the field where he began his career: science.
He was born and educated in the United Kingdom and moved to the U.S. in 1982 to carry out climate research at NASA/GSFC. From 1982 to 1996, he worked on global climate problems, particularly those involving interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and was involved in constructing computer models of the global climate system, satellite data interpretation and conducting large-scale field experiments in the USA, Canada, Africa, and Brazil.
He served as project scientist for the first large Earth Observing System platform, Terra, launched in 1998. Piers joined the NASA astronaut corps in 1996 and flew to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2002, 2006, and 2010, carrying out six spacewalks and working on ISS assembly tasks. After 14 years as an astronaut, Sellers returned to Goddard, this time as a leader within the Sciences and Exploration Directorate and Earth Sciences Division

Goodreads: One woman's journey home gets derailed by her soon-to-be ex-mother-in-law in a novel filled with humor, small-town charm, rekindled love, and the resilient ties of family.
Kritters Thoughts: Katelyn Chandler has had a tough few years and after a horrible letter from her husband as he travels abroad for work, her world set into a tail spin and she decides relocating may start things afresh. So off to the small town she grew up in with her hellish mother-in-law in tow is how it goes.
I absolutely adored this book. I read this on vacation in one day and it was just the right amount of content with easy reading. I loved the characters in this book, Katelyn and her mother and mother-in-law, were just great. I loved that they each had their quirks and no one was perfect and they played off each other so well! The way each of them grew throughout the book was just right, it felt real and honest but was still fiction.
Marin Thomas knows how to write a contemporary story with heart where you get completely invested in the characters and fast! I wanted to know about each of them and where they were going and what was going to be next, it is a sign of a great book when you want to know what happens next so bad. I will continue to be a fan of Marin Thomas.

NGC 4194: A Black Hole in Medusa's Hair
This composite image of the Medusa galaxy (also known as NGC 4194) shows X-ray data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue and optical light from the Hubble Space Telescope in orange. Located above the center of the galaxy and seen in the optical data, the "hair" of the Medusa -- made of snakes in the Greek myth -- is a tidal tail formed by a collision between galaxies. The bright X-ray source found towards the left side of Medusa's hair is a black hole (rollover the image to view).
Most bright X-ray sources in galaxies are binaries containing either stellar mass black holes or neutron stars that remain after the supernova explosion of a massive star. Because these compact objects can generate X-rays for much longer periods of time than the lifetime of their massive progenitor stars, X-ray binaries may be used as "fossils" to study the star formation history of their host galaxies. In this Medusa image, the X-ray binaries are seen as the bright blue point-like objects.
A recent study of the Medusa galaxy and nine other galaxies measured the correlation between the formation of stars and the production of X- ray binaries. A key feature was to study this correlation for the Medusa galaxy and NGC 7541, two galaxies with particularly high star formation rates. It was found that both the number of bright X-ray sources and their average brightness were related to the rate at which stars formed. This work may be useful for attempts to use X-ray brightness to measure the rate of star formation in galaxies at very large distances.
It was also found that for every one million tons of gas that goes into making stars, one ton gets pulled onto a stellar mass black hole or a neutron star. This result may help create more accurate models of the formation of X-ray binaries.

Building a Great Product and a Solid Team — Miruna Bicoli
This week, the SphereCast team interviews Miruna Bicoli, Chief Operating Officer at BlueBat Games — a Vancouver-based company that produces white label social casino games for ground-based casinos. Before being promoted to Chief Operating Officer in January of 2022, Miruna spent nearly two years as BlueBat's VP of Product and Managed Services. Prior to her run at BlueBat, Miruna held a variety of product, operations, and customer service roles at various gaming and software companies.
Miruna's passions for product and leadership come to the forefront throughout this interview. To Miruna, the data only tells part of the story. A true product professional will know how to find the balance between hard data and real customer feedback. And, for product leaders, even while navigating this friction, they must stay concerned with developing employees, encouraging innovation, and promoting integrity. All of this and so much more on this week's episode of SphereCast.
Noteworthy Quotes:
"The role of leaders has dramatically changed over the past few years... They need to be enablers of innovation, even if it means making mistakes... They must focus on developing and mentoring others... And they need to be promoters of ethics and integrity."
"Data without context tells you nothing... If you don't combine data with actual feedback, you basically have nothing. You only have assumptions."
"There are moments in the product world where data will say one thing, but end user feedback will say another thing... That's when the value of a real product person is shown... You must pay attention to why the end user is giving you that feedback."
"Here, we build a platform for our clients — the casinos. But we need to have in mind the end users — the players. So the main challenge with our product is having to always have B2B-world and B2C-world aligned... Sometimes you know what the client wants is not what the end user needs."
"You never really get it right. Product isn't about getting it right. Product is about putting something out and iterating on it, based on feedback you get. You throw something against the wall and see what sticks."
"I am a product-focused person at the core. Working in customer service, I witnessed how bad products impact customers."
"When it comes to the latest technology innovations, I have to say I 100% rely on my team... I know products, and I know what I want to do with the product that I'm managing. I don't know how to get there, so I have to rely on everyone around me to take me there."
"If you hire someone, you start by trusting them right away. They don't have to earn your trust. Otherwise, don't hire them."
"You need to be ready for anything. You plan for something, and your plans change. You need to be able to quickly adapt everything in your life to the new plan."

Passion Meets Tech — Emilia (Gyoerk) De Stasio
This week, the SphereCast speaks with Emilia De Stasio, COO and Founder at Artscapy. The mission of Artscapy is to lower the barrier to entry into art collection. Within the platform, users can both purchase contemporary art and track the art pieces they own, including documentation and value. Artscapy is merging the worlds of fine art and complex technology — such as blockchain technology — to make the art world more welcoming to new audiences. Emilia has always had an interest in art and art collection — a common thread through a relatively uncommon career path. Emilia thought she was destined for a job as an economist and pointed her life plans in this direction. However, when economics didn't pan out as expected and through several twists and turns, Emilia began building a business to drive traffic in the direction of that one common thread — art. For Emilia, Artscapy is a place where her passion meets tech. And on the podcast, she dives into both the passion and the technology as she reflects on her time as an entrepreneur. *Noteworthy Quotes:* "Our mission is to democratize the art world — to make it accessible. To make it possible for anyone to come in and learn about art. Overcoming those initial barriers to entry. That initial intimidation." "A key to building any sort of tech business is being in it from the beginning. Understanding what's the backbone of the business." "Many people who are interested in building a tech business think, 'Okay, I need to build every single thing from scratch.' And that's not necessarily true. One of the key strengths of a good entrepreneur is finding out how to optimize solutions. Aggregating different solutions. Bringing in the skeletons built by others and expanding on that." "Working within a startup, I've never worked as much as I am now. But I've never been happier than I am now." "Don't get too worked up around what you think you need to be doing. Or that there's only one path for you and that you need to pursue it ad nauseam… In life, the places where you can add the most value develop over time." "The beauty and the curse of entrepreneurship is that no day is the same. There's always a challenge. There's an infinitely growing to-do list. It's a living, breathing animal that needs love, care, sweat, tears. And that's also the beauty of it." "There are different routes to entrepreneurship. At the end of the day, if you can drive your business forward while also staying sane, that's what matters." *Bullet List of Resources – * *Emilia De Stasio* * *LinkedIn * *Artscapy* * *Company Website* * *Instagram* * *LinkedIn*
It Pays to Be Nosy — Andy Bray
This week, the SphereCast interviews Andy Bray, Chief Financial Officer at Sermo. Sermo is a social platform, connecting more than 1.3 million healthcare providers across 150 countries. This physicians-first online community allows clinicians to communicate about issues that are important to them and their patients. In no other industry is mind-share more important than healthcare, as sharing expertise can literally mean saving lives. The sum is much greater than its parts. Bray has held financial positions in various companies across many different industries — including an early run at one of the "Big 4" accounting firms. Having seen and experienced much over the course of his seasoned career, he offers a unique perspective on what makes a "good" finance department. But one prevailing attribute that spells success in a financial professional? Nosiness. On the podcast, Andy deep dives on the value of curiosity in finance, offers some insightful leadership advice, and much more. *Noteworthy Quotes:* "To be a strategic CFO, you absolutely need a strong team. The most important parts of your FP&A team are the people that you have in it. And they need to have an analytical mindset and a curiosity. You need to be nosy and understand what's going on inside of the company. To look beyond the numbers." "Excellence is not perfection." "Agility is just huge and is such a key attribute. It's massively linked to your culture. If you want agility and to be agile, it's important to live that culture and harness that." "As a leader, you have to be respectful of people's time. You get to meetings on time. You don't change things at the last minute. You don't move things around… You have to put your team first." "As a leader, listen more than you talk. That's key. Listen and understand different perspectives, facts, and viewpoints. And once everything has been put forward, make the right decision based on that data." "Don't be afraid to make career decisions that aren't orthodox. Everyone has a long career, and going down the route that is nontraditional is hugely beneficial. And sometimes people think it's risky. But that risk is never as great as people fear it is." "As a leader, you have to be focused on what needs to be done. Especially when people are going off in many different tangents." *Bullet List of Resources – * *Francois Casanova* * *LinkedIn * *Sermo* * *Company Website* * *Facebook* * *Twitter* * *LinkedIn*
The Scalable CEO — Francois Casanova
This week, the SphereCast speaks with Francois Casanova, Founder and CEO at Fitogram. Fitogram is a digital service that takes the pain out of administrative logistics for fitness professionals and business owners. Fitogram offers comprehensive online booking, payment processing, customer management, and accounting — all in an easy-to-use SaaS platform. In its own words, Fitogram believes that "nothing should stand between people and their passion for sports." In 2012, Fitogram began as a humble Germany-based startup. Since its inception, the company has grown its customer base to tens of thousands of fitness providers across more than 11 European countries. With the growth, Francois's role has shifted from a fully hands-on CEO to more of a visionary, casting direction for the company and trusting his team to see the vision to reality. On the podcast, among many other things, Francois discusses entrepreneurship, leadership, and trusting your team to do what's right. *Noteworthy Quotes:* "Now, my role in management is to serve the company. I don't see myself as a leader. I see myself as a servant of the business. The team is really doing the big chunk of the work at this point. And that has been a massive switch... That helped us unlock so much potential and growth." "When you're the CEO, you feel that you need to help and need to be involved and need to know everything. But you can't. Definitely not... My role has to be as a [visionary]." "A good leader is a good listener. It's about understanding and listening your team and your market. Really taking the time to do that is very important." "I've been part of an entrepreneurial club for a long time now. And we organized an event called Leap and the Net Will Appear. And I think that's very true for every entrepreneurial journey. If you really work hard and go in the right direction, you make stuff happen." "You cannot underestimate the value of a good customer journey." *Bullet List of Resources – * *Francois Casanova* * *LinkedIn * *Fitogram* * *Company Website* * *Instagram* * *YouTube* * *LinkedIn*

Horribly newbie question. Looking for a tutorial on uploading video (mpg). I tried to put the file in and there is nothing there. I checked the folder and refreshed the browser after a few minutes and it's there in the folder but not on the site. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Are you saying that you see the file in Fetch, but not in your web browser? Can you see other files or webpages that you've uploaded on your site?
On many Internet providers, you must upload your files to a specific folder in order to see your files, and the address for your website may be different than the address you upload files to with Fetch.
If you can give us the URL for your website and the name of your Internet provider, we may be able to provide some advice.
Yes, I can see the file in Fetch, but not the browser, IE 5.1 Mac.
Yes, I can see the other info that we update. We usually update quite regularly, however we have never tried to upload video before.
We don't have a streaming server or Flash files yet, so we are thinking they can download off instead.
Which page is the video supposed to appear on? And when you say can't see it in the browser, do you mean you just see a blank space on the page, get an error, or something else?
And finally, what is the FTP URL to the file? I realize we won't be able to access it, but that might tell us something about what's going on.
I created a new directory, loaded the video and a cutline.
It is supposed to be on the front page. I do not get an error or blank page, just nothing. What is supposed to be there?
Just the file name that you download and play?
That will probably show the movie file when added to your html code for a webpage. However, there are a variety of catches to be aware of when using the <embed> tag, and some browsers require the <object> tag instead. I recommend Googling for "embed html tag" and reading some of the resulting pages.
Apparently my mac needs a plug-in, so I reluctantly brought it up on a PC and can get the Windows Media Player, but it won't play.
The suffix mapping is Q-time for this as well.
I tried to view the mpg file on my computer using the address you posted, <http://www.choteauacantha.com/more_headlines/p51.mpg>, but I got a file not found error.
Looking at the HTML for the "More Headlines" page, I don't think the embed tag should be inside the link tag for the p51x.txt page, but I don't know if that would really cause a problem or not.
I think to get it to show properly in IE on Windows, you may need to use the <object> tag as well as the <embed> tag; at least, that's what some of the pages in the Google search suggested.

A: Redux will not save data after a refresh, think of redux container as a simple object, try using localStorage for setting your token by simply saying:
localStorage.setItem('token',token);

and accessing it by:
localStorage.getItem('token);

A: Redux won't keep the state between page loads just like javascript doesn't remember any variable values on reload.
Once page reloades it will lose all states and will be re instantiated.
You can try saving your token in a cookie and check if a token exists when the application mounts. (Don't forget to delete the cookie on logout) You can also save the token in the localstorage but I think it's not a good practice.

"...A central California vet is reporting that tests on a bag of Nutra Nuggets-brand dog food purchased from Costco tested positive for melamine. Nutra Nuggets is not on any current recall list. We are working on getting more specifics from the vet. Nutra Nuggets is a brand of Premium Edge Pet Foods and is made by Diamond Pet Foods..."
I don't even think it's the melamine itself that is the problem. The Chinese admitted they've been spiking food for years with it to artificially increase the protein content. My guess it's a pesticide, or a combination of the two.
Also, there are two new additions to the Menu Foods CANADA recall that were added yesterday. These items were omitted in the May 2nd recall and are said to be off retail shelves but individuals should check any stock on hand.

Both me and my girlfriend loved our massage. We both had the Swedish full body massage. I went for the deep muscle massage and my girlfriend went for the relaxation. We both loved it.
I purchased a joint spa day for myself and my cousin who needed a bit of tlc. We arrived at 10am and the lady at reception was extremely helpful and very friendly. Once down in the spa area we went straight to the pool, when we arrived it was still being cleaned but that only took about 5 mins. The cleaner put down some loungers for us so we had a spot to put our robes, although I'd prefer to have it done before opening time, the fact you could see everything was being thoroughly cleaned was a good thing.
We both had a Swedish back massage and facial treatments booked for 2pm. I had a gent called Connor for my massage and he was extremely good. I felt completely at ease and the whole treatment was fantastic. I would definitely ask for Connor again.
In addition to the pool and spa I used the gym. I would definitely recommend this spot as it is easy to get to, the gym facilities are great (usual non gym located spas are often lacking in equipment) and overall we had a great time.
We have visited the Bannatyne three times now.
The facilities are great and clean.
I love the treatments. Particularly excellent massage.
Always get a good deal.
Especially enjoyed the relaxation room, snoozed for a while!
I couldn't of asked for anything more, the staff were amazing, every single area was really clean and the massage was absolutely fantastic.

Nathan McCullum joins Glamorgan
Nathan McCullum is currently playing for New Zealand in the Champions Trophy -- and was included in the Black Caps side due to play England in a Group A match at Welsh county Glamorgan's Cardiff headquarters on Sunday.
Cardiff:
New Zealand all-rounder Nathan McCullum is to play for Glamorgan in this year's English domestic Twenty20 competition.
The 32-year-old off-spinner is currently playing for New Zealand in the Champions Trophy -- and was included in the Black Caps side due to play England in a Group A match at Welsh county Glamorgan's Cardiff headquarters on Sunday.
"I'm looking forward to joining up with the Glamorgan squad at the end of this month," McCullum, man-of-the-match in New Zealand's win over Sri Lanka in Cardiff last weekend, said in a statement issued by the county.
"I've spent a bit of time in Cardiff over the past few weeks and have enjoyed playing at the SWALEC Stadium.
"Spin bowling plays an important role in T20 cricket."
McCullum is the older brother of New Zealand captain Brendon, who himself had a spell with Glamorgan in 2006 and scored the county's fastest fifty in T20 cricket, from just 18 balls, against Worcestershire.

Wagon Wheel Hits Radio But Many Covers Are Out There [VIDEO, POLL]
Darius Rucker is currently in the Top 40 with the Bob Dylan/Ketch Secor favorite "Wagon Wheel." Rucker has been singing it in his shows and was famously joined onstage at the Grand Ole Opry by Lady Antebellum for a version of it.
But the song exists in many covers from all points on the map. I searched "Wagon Wheel" on YouTube and learned as much. Fans of the song look to Old Crow Medicine Show's version as the definitive one. Co-writer Secor is a member of the band.
But I thought it would kind of interesting to put some of the different covers out there and see which of them you like.
And I might as well begin with:
Nate Hall
There you go. Now, I know you love the Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel" because that's the one you've been requesting to an overwhelming degree when compared to Darius Rucker's. So I'm going to leave them out and toss Darius into the mix with the other covers. Pick the "other" one you like best.

Toronto's Mav Karlo shares New Single and Video "Wirewalker"
Debut Album Strangers Like Us out tomorrow on Royal Mountain Records
TORONTO, ON., Oct. 14, 2020 — Today, singer-songwriter Mav Karlo (the solo project from Toronto's Menno Versteeg of Hollerado), is sharing "Wirewalker", the final single from his upcoming debut album, Strangers Like Us, out tomorrow on Royal Mountain Records.
Menno elaborated on the meaning behind the track: "Relationships are hard. We all know that. Sometimes, when a person you are close to is experiencing pain, it's a battle they must fight on their own and there is nothing you can say or do to help them win it. Still, it can be excruciating to watch from a distance. It takes a certain kind of bravery to give them the space they need and have faith that they will come out the other side," said Versteeg.
WATCH: Mav Karlo's "Wirewalker" on YouTube
"I like to imagine Philippe Petit on that grey and cloudy day that he set up his tightrope between the Twin Towers. This song is about the desire to achieve that kind of calm belief in oneself. That ability to push forward, unflinching and confident, knowing that to fear the storm is human, but no human can change the weather," adds Versteeg.
"Wirewalker" follows "Elevator," which Exclaim called "a fitting exploration of mental health", the Honest Ed's tribute "Dig A Hole", as well as last month's "Detonator" which Clash declared as "unadorned and affecting…from-the-heart". As part of their Next Big Thing feature, HMV said "his gift for melody is phenomenal" and Mystic Sons made Mav Karlo their Artist Of The Week saying: "With a smooth and laid-back aesthetic that channels retro crooners as much as more contemporary names, his latest material is quickly becoming a must-hear listen."
His first full-length, Strangers Like Us closely documents an especially tough period in Versteeg's life, and ultimately arrives at an undeniable courage in its commitment to truth-telling and unsparing self-examination. Produced by Chris Coady (Amen Dunes, Beach House, Future Islands) and recorded at two iconic studios (Sunset Sound in L.A. and Sonic Ranch in the Texas border town of Tornillo), Strangers Like Us features gracefully sparse arrangements and centres on Versteeg's lyrical storytelling, revealing a narrative voice deeply attuned to the beauty in the ordinary and routinely overlooked. Despite a stripped-back approach, Strangers Like Us draws incredibly rich texture from Versteeg's delicate melodies and warm vocal work, and from the spirited performances of guest musicians Katy Goodman of Vivian Girls (on vocals), Charlie Spencer of Dizzy (keys, drums), and Versteeg's Hollerado bandmate Nixon Boyd (guitar, bass).
Naming Tom Petty and John Prine among his inspirations, Versteeg first began creating as Mav Karlo last year in the midst of constant upheaval, equally driven by an urge to expand his horizons as a songwriter and a need for the raw catharsis of unfettered expression. An album elegantly steeped in memory, Strangers Like Us navigates the often painful act of looking back with grit and clarity and unbridled imagination. Versteeg says, "A lot of the record is about looking within and trying to find the source of your pain, trying to figure out why you behave the way you do, but by the end there's a sense of starting to trust yourself. So even though there might still be self-doubt, it's a confident kind of self-doubt—an understanding that everyone feels this way sometimes, and you've got to just keep pushing on."
Mav Karlo's Strangers Like Us is out tomorrow (October 16th) through Royal Mountain Records.

Q: AlarmManager executing task after an interval of minutes instead of an interval of a day Given that the AlarmManager.setInexactRepeating() function works only with APIs less than API 19, I used the AlarmManager.setExact() function for APIs 19 upwards and used a broadcast receiver to perform the required task then call the alarm function again to make it a repeating alarm. The alarm works but it doesn't respect the intended repeat interval. I did some research to see what others did and I'm at my wit's end.
I created a class to handle the alarm as shown below:
public class AlarmStart {

public AlarmStart() {
}

public void startAlarm(Context context) {
    // Start service
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
        Intent service = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, service, 0);

        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
                AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY,
                pendingIntent);
    }
    else {
        Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24, pendingIntent);
    }

    // Enable receiver when device boots
    ComponentName receiver = new ComponentName(context, BootReceiver.class);
    PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();

    pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(receiver,
            PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,
            PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
}

Below is the code in the BroadcastReceiver class which makes a call to the service to be executed at intervals (which works well), then makes another call to the startAlarm() function:
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

AlarmStart alarmStart = new AlarmStart();

public MyBroadcastReceiver() {
}

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    // Start service
    Intent service = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
    context.startService(service);

    //Schedule next alarm
    alarmStart.startAlarm(context);
}

In AndroidManifest.xml, I set the enabled and exported attributes of the broadcast receiver to true.
Please can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

A: You have messed up the start time.
replace
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24, pendingIntent);

with
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()+(1000 * 60 * 60 * 24), pendingIntent);

The same thing with
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);

replace with
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()+AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);

The problem was that you have launched the alarm in wrong moment of time.


Link acquisition, also referred to as link building or link development, is the SEO process of acquiring high authority, relevant backlinks to a client website. SEO impact: Link acquisition must be undertaken carefully by firms intimately familiar with best practices — Black Hat techniques can be interpreted as manipulative by Google and do much more harm than good.
ERP stands for search engine results page. It is the page of links search engine users see after inputting keywords for a search. SEO impact: Today, SERPs are highly customized. Universal search, personalized search and other factors have resulted in SERPS with various types of results on the page, obscuring the meaning of "rankings." Competent SEO companies thus focus on overall visibility rather than pursue hard to calculate and relatively unimportant ranking numbers.
SEO is an foundational part of most Internet marketing strategies. Executives don't have to be subject matter experts, but the better they understand the principles behind SEO, the better able they are to keep their programs on track.

It's another unenviable milestone in India's journey of learning and doing.
Around 4pm on Saturday, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV)-F06, which was carrying a communications satellite, GSAT-5P, had to be destroyed soon after its launch from Sriharikota. The command centre lost control of the rocket 47 seconds after its launch and 16 seconds later, visuals of its breaking up could be seen clearly.
It marks the third failure of GSLV launch vehicles by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro)—the GSLV-F02 failed on 10 July 2006; GSLV-D3 met the same fate on 15 April 2010. In two cases, GSLV-F02 and the launch on Saturday, the rocket was fitted with a Russian cryogenic engine—a proven technology in comparison to the indigenously developed cryogenic upper stage that did not work in GSLV-D3. It is this aspect of the failure, the use of established technology, in this case Russian, to carry out a "routine" launch that is troubling.
Isro chief K. Radhakrishnan put a brave face and said that "we learn from failures and such failures lead to success".
What Radhakrishnan said is largely true: Isro's efforts have been immense and its successes, when seen against the light of technology denial regimes by advanced industrial countries, formidable. But it is time to move on and take a critical look at its failures and what they mean. It is also time that we compared ourselves with the best—for we imagine ourselves to be a Great Power in the making—and not merely celebrate our second-best achievements.
To raise one uncomfortable question: How does our space programme fare when seen against what the Russians, the Americans and the Chinese achieved at a comparable stage of national development? The answer, it must be admitted, is not a happy one.
Isro's failures in this case have to do largely with managing complex technologies that have a large number of moving parts. For example, in the failed April launch, the rocket failed to develop adequate thrust due to the failure of the fuel booster turbo pump that stopped seconds after launch. That analysis of failure is fine and Isro may have learnt not to repeat that mistake, but the failure lies elsewhere: Its inability to check such repeated failures in systems that are complex and have a huge number of parts. Managing complex technologies is key to the success of ambitious programmes such as the Chandrayaan mission and other equally adventurous space missions. That remains Isro's weak spot.

The American Experience: Riding the Rails
1998 | WGBH Educational Foundation, The American History Project/Out of the Blue Productions, The American Experience
They were called "hobos." They were called "bums." During the Great Depression, they faced long bread lines in cities or the dust bowl of a rural famine. They were teenagers, most of them, and today we might call them "the homeless." It is estimated that as many as a quarter million teenagers were homeless during the Great Depression and an uncounted number of them spent their days in search of work, a meal, or adventure by hopping freight cars. This film is a stirring tribute to those teens who jumped fences into train yards and spent days and nights atop or inside boxcars, fighting the weather and each other, and dodging armed railroad police known as "bulls." Theirs was truly an "American Experience," which is brought back to life in the recollections of eight (seven men and one woman) who lived to tell their tales. Producers Lexy Lovell and Michael Uys, editor Howard Sharp, and cinematographer Samuel Henriques, under the guiding hand of executive consultant Judy Crichton and executive producer Margaret Drain, present a moving and poetic tribute to an earlier time. But the real strength of this program indeed the entire American Experience series lies in the lessons it holds for contemporary society. As ever, we see ourselves reflected in these personal stories of tragedy and triumph. We recognize that the lonesome train whistle has been replaced by the honking horn, and the cliche of the adventurous life of the itinerant hobo has been supplanted by the inglorious plight of today's homeless. Yet, at the heart of our culture is a persistent optimism that buoys the American spirit. For providing this reminder in troubling times, a Peabody Award to The American Experience: Riding the Rails.

Tired of waiting, migrants climb US-Mexico border fence seeking asylum
December 04, 2018 · 12:00 PM EST
Migrants from Honduras, part of a group of thousands from Central America trying to reach the United States, put their hands in the air as they surrender to a US Customs and Border Protection official in San Diego County, after crossing illegally from Mexico to the US by jumping a border fence, photographed from Tijuana, Mexico, Dec. 3, 2018.
Alkis Konstantinidis/Reuters
Central American migrants stuck on the threshold of the United States in Mexico climbed over the border fence on Monday, risking almost certain detention by US authorities but hoping the illegal entry will allow them to apply for asylum.
Since mid-October, thousands of Central Americans, mostly from Honduras, have traveled north through Mexico toward the United States in a "caravan," some walking much of the long trek.
US President Donald Trump has vowed to stop the migrants entering, sending troops to reinforce the border and attempting a procedural change, so far denied by the courts, to require asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases are heard.
Frustrated and exhausted after weeks of uncertainty, many of the migrants have become desperate since getting stuck in squalid camps in the Mexican border city of Tijuana.
Related: Waiting for asylum, migrants in limbo grow desperate
A number opted to eschew legal procedures and attempt an illegal entry from Tijuana as dusk fell on Monday at a spot about 1,500 feet away from the Pacific Ocean.
In less than an hour, Reuters reporters observed roughly two dozen people climb the approximately 10-foot fence made of thick sheets and pillars of metal. They chose a place in a large overgrown ditch where the fence is slightly lower.
Just before dusk, three thin people squeezed through the fence on the beach and were quickly picked up by the US Border Patrol, witnesses said.
But along the border inland as darkness descended, more and more migrants followed, many bringing children.
Some used a blanket as a rope to help loved ones get over.
A mother and her children made it over the first fence and disappeared into the night.
The sight of them climbing the fence encouraged others, even as a helicopter patrolled overhead on the US side.
Earlier, Karen Mayeni, a 29-year-old Honduran, sized up the fence while clinging to her three children, aged six, 11 and 12.
"We're just observing, waiting to see what happens," Mayeni said. "We'll figure out what to do in a couple of days."
Ninety minutes later, she and her family were over the fence.
A number of the migrants ran to try to escape capture, but most of them walked slowly to where US Border Patrol officials were waiting under floodlights to hand themselves in.
Related: Why does the migrant 'caravan' exist? And how did it come to be?
'Stand on my head'
Some of the migrants are likely to be economic refugees without a strong asylum claim, but others tell stories of receiving politically motivated death threats in a region troubled by decades of instability and violence.
Applying for asylum at a US land border can take months, so if migrants enter illegally and present themselves to authorities, their cases could be heard quicker.
U.S. officials have restricted applications through the Chaparral gate in Tijuana to between 40 and 100 per day.
Some may hope to defeat the odds and penetrate one of the most fortified sections of the southern US border.
Those that made it across the fence in Tijuana still had to scramble up a hill and contend with a more forbidding wall to reach California, and US Border Patrol agents had the territory between the two barriers heavily covered.
"Climb up. You can do it! Stand on my head!" one migrant said, egging his companion on.
One child and his mother got over the fence and ran up the hill behind. They turned around and waved to those still on the Mexican side.

Minimalist branding | Ooh, my favorite!
What a cool concept! Antrepo Design Studio has created series of alternate branding treatments for some familiar products in order to showcase the power of simplicity. Minimalist effect in the maximalist market really gets you thinking about all the unnecessary elements on packages you see everyday. The more simple variations really show how important typeface is to a brand.
I just love this idea; think how much better your pantry and cleaning closet could look. I must admit that on a few of them (Nutella, mostly) I prefer the simple variation versus the more simple variation, but overall the less-is-more is definitely working for me.
Very interesting. I'm sure that the psychology of the consumer has changed over time. So people would be more receptive to this kind of minimalist packaging now than they would be thirty or forty years ago.
You have managed to maintain exceptional content on this blog which is not easy. It really is outstanding.

On-duty fatal accidents plummet across Army, but off-duty ones rise
By Davis Winkie
The Army had a historically-low on-duty fatal accident rate in fiscal 2021. (Army)
The Army lost fewer soldiers to on-duty training accidents in fiscal 2021 than in "any other reporting period on record," officials from the service's Combat Readiness Center said in an Oct. 21 release.
According to safety data from the release, only 20 soldiers died in on-duty accidents this past fiscal year. Nine of those deaths occurred in ground accidents, and 11 soldiers died in aviation crashes, including five who died in Egypt in November 2020 when a stabilizer failed on their UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.
The number of deaths in fiscal 2021 was four lower than that of any prior fiscal year, the release added.
The total was lower than even the 24 on-duty accidental deaths that occurred during fiscal 2020, which saw training grind to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CRC spokesperson Angela Welch noted in the release. Before fiscal 2020, the lowest level of on-duty accidental deaths was 26, which occurred in fiscal 2018 and 2019, according to the release.
"Leaders at every echelon should be proud of this accomplishment," said Brig. Gen. Andrew C. Hilmes, who directs CRC and is the Army's top safety officer. "While one Soldier lost to a preventable mishap is one too many, we see in the results that engaged leadership is fundamental to loss prevention."
Welch said that the Army attributes the improvements to two data-driven information campaigns launched by CRC following an analysis of accident data from fiscal 2014 to 2019.
The organization identified that, historically, one-third of ground accident deaths have occurred during the third quarter of the fiscal year, "specifically during May and June," Welch said in the release.
They also found a similar historical spike in fatal aviation accidents in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, which CRC attributed to "environmental conditions, as well as personnel and leader turnover" stemming from the Army's traditional summer window for NCOs and officers to execute permanent change-of-station moves.
CRC engaged leaders across the force about the historical danger periods, Welch explained in the release, and the accident numbers dropped dramatically during those periods in fiscal 2021.
No fatal aviation mishaps occurred between July and September, and only one fatal ground accident took place between April and June of this year.
The Army has also been working to implement the recommendations of a recent Government Accountability Office report on tactical vehicle accidents. The GAO report faulted the Army and Marine Corps for inadequate drivers training and lapses in supervision that led to a spate of deaths last decade.
Over the past few years, the service has worked to improve the oversight of its decentralized drivers training program and clarify the responsibilities of the master drivers charged with running the training at the unit level.
But the Army has seemingly stopped short of adding additional "performance criteria and measurable standards" to train drivers beyond an initial road test — a deficiency that the GAO highlighted in the report.
Off-duty deaths continue to rise
Even as the Army is successfully implementing strategies to reduce on-duty accidental deaths, more and more soldiers are dying in after-hours accidents, according to the release.
"Off-duty mishaps continue to be the greatest killer of Soldiers, accounting for 87 deaths," a 20 percent increase from fiscal 2020, Welch said in the release.
"Army officials partially attribute the increase to off-duty complacency as Soldiers returned to 'normal' after nearly a year of COVID-19 restrictions," Welch added.
Car deaths are one potential culprit.
Data from the National Safety Council showed a major spike in car deaths during calendar 2020, and 2021 is on pace to surmount the previous year's highs.
"Addressing off-duty risky behaviors in our younger Soldiers, primarily in the 18-24 year age group, remains one of our greatest challenges," said Hilmes, the CRC director. "Getting our junior leaders the tools and information they need to influence those underneath them will be the USACRC's priority in the coming year."

The F1 New Balance Esports Pro Series 2018 got off to a flying start in London on Wednesday, with the opening three races of the competition providing levels of excitement and drama that have set the bar very high for the remaining live events of the Pro Series.
At the centre of it all were the nine official F1 Esports teams, competing against each other in F1 Esports for the very first time. Representing them were their chosen drivers, who rose to the top from more than 66,000 online entrants, as the battle for crucial points got under way in the quest for the team and individual championship titles.
Races Two and Three were streamed live on the official F1 Facebook page and on F1Esports.com as well as on TV networks across numerous countries throughout the world. On social media, the event has reached two million people and generated 1.2m views to date.
Host Tom Deacon was joined on the panel by former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer and by Lando Norris, who will line up on the F1 grid for McLaren in 2019. There was also a special guest appearance from Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly, who fought off his post-Japanese Grand Prix jet lag to follow the action in person.
Plenty of talk in the build-up was focussed on the 2017 F1 Esports Series winner, Brendon Leigh. At the media day 24 hours earlier, he had shrugged off suggestions that he might be feeling any additional pressure as the defending champion. In the colours of his favourite F1 team, Mercedes AMG-Petronas Esports, would he still be the man to beat?
The answer proved to be a resounding yes, as he ended the opening night on top of the driver standings with seven races still to come. Leigh dominated Race One, at Melbourne's Albert Park, starting from pole position and claiming victory ahead of his Mercedes teammate Daniel Bereznay, who would eventually be demoted to P6 after a penalty.
A scorching lap from Bereznay at Shanghai meant that Mercedes were on pole again for Race Two. Once again, however, it was Leigh who took the chequered flag, winning from P5 on the grid and extending his lead in the championship standings.
There were some phenomenal efforts further down the field, notably from Haas driver Martin Stefanko. After struggling in qualifying he started from the back of the grid, but fought his way through the field to claim P10, and with it a points finish that seemed so unlikely at lights out.
The tight streets of Baku City Circuit can prove to be as unpredictable in F1 Esports as they are in Formula 1, so the tension ahead of the final race of the opening night was cranked up a notch for Race Three. Chasing a clean sweep of race wins, Leigh started from P4, next to Rasmussen on the second row, with Bereznay beating Patrik Holzmann to pole position.
What unfolded over the following 22 minutes can only be described as epic. Momentum swung from one way to the other at the front, and as Leigh approached the final corner with a narrow lead, that clean sweep looked a formality. But Rasmussen dug deep down Baku's long finishing straight and, incredibly, found enough power to force his way past the Mercedes metres from the line – clinching a dramatic victory by just nine hundredths of a second and rewriting the ending to the 2018 Pro Series' incredible opening act.

Germany's Siemens is currently working on a formal asset-swap offer for Alstom's power business that could come to light later this week, seeing France take a stake in a resulting rail-focussed French group, sources told Reuters this week.
Alstom is already in talks with US conglomerate General Electric over a 12.35 billion euro ($16.9 billion) bid for its power business, which is up for review by the 2nd of June. However, under strong political pressure, it has opened its books to Siemens so it can propose its own deal if it wishes.
A rival offer such as this would give the French government more leverage with General Electric after giving itself the power to block foreign takeovers in "strategic sectors". Repeatedly criticising GE's bid, the French government favours an alliance between the companies rather than a straight sale of Alstom's power arm, which accounts for 70 percent of the group's revenue; leaving the French group with the smaller transport side of the business.
Siemens has warmed to the idea of an alternative European tie-up between Alstom and themselves. Sources say that Siemens has been refining its bid to make it more attractive to Alstom and the French government.
"Siemens is presenting the following case: It will create national champions in trains and energy. Everything will be kept in Europe. It has offered some new elements, which sweeten its proposal," one source familiar with the deal said.
GE still remains ahead in the race for Alstom's assets as a company spokesperson claimed: "We are not at the stage where we are negotiating with Siemens a contract that could be signed tomorrow."
