Oh, you highly praised and eternally holy trinity, Almighty holy God, creator of all creatures, both of the visible and invisible, who reveals his divine almightiness in all things, who can turn something into nothing and [who can] turn nothing into something, who shaped all of humankind according to your own image, who [is] exalted over all creatures and who has turned all of them into your subjects, who has consent and allowed them to shape the world [literally: take effect] and [who] through the clear light of nature will and cannot fail anyone who calls upon you in true faith. If it is enough for your divine honour, we poor, sinful humans similarly search and crave for the true light of nature, in order to praise your divine honour and your holy name across the entire globe. If then we might be allowed to turn towards you with our desire, and confess that our sins are illustrious, heavy and great, then it is [because] we are urged by the consoling confidence that we shall not be scared off by such unworthiness, especially as you have released us from all of our sins through your mercy and are willing and able to dignify us. That is why we ask you, almighty God, reveal to us what is hidden, show us what we have not seen before, fulfil our desire that we long for, grant to us what we have never witnessed, let us feel the incomprehensible, open both our hearts and eyes to recognise everything we search for, grant us your Holy Spirit who shall teach and tutor us in our falsity, expel from us all evil and deceitful spirits who betray us, and send us a holy angel so it will fulfil our desire according to your command, grant us wisdom and knowledge, might and memory, so everything we see in this vision we shall be able to recognise, discern, perceive and memorise. Then let your angel, after it completed your order, depart from us in peace and [return] to the place you have assigned it to. And if we ask you in the future again for the same [angel to come to us], so let the angel mercifully appear to us and allow for it to become more common and common. Oh Lord, hear our pleading ask and grant [it] to us. Yours shall be eternal praise, eulogy and honour, now and in all eternity. Amen.
Then take the egg and break it against the glass, let the white flow into the glass, the rest including yolk put away. Once this is done, you and your companion shall not take your glance off the glass; yet you shall not look from above but from the edge of the glass, and in your hearts you shall continue to sigh and plead and thus the angel will appear in the glass. And the glass will show you the four primary colours including the Prima materia, as well as how to work the entire process from beginning to end, which you will see and recognise easily and clearly.
And whenever in doubt, you may ask the angel, and it will point it out again, it will also speak to you and report orally. You shall also know, in case during the first time nothing appears, you shall not desist, but undertake [the operation] again during the next day and as often as you like; that is how the apparition will appear finally and surely.
After completing the work, you shall thank God and not forget about the poor.

Buteshire - A Description
Buteshire, an insular county, engirt and intersected by the waters of the Firth of Clyde, and by them separated from Ayr and Argyll shires. It consists of the 7 islands of Bute, Arran, Big and Little Cumbrae, Holy Isle, Pladda, and Inchmarnock. Its greatest length, from the northern extremity of Bute to the southern extremity of Pladda, is 35½ miles; its greatest breadth, from the north-eastern extremity of Big Cumbrae to the western extremity of Inchmarnock, is 9¾ miles, or from the south-eastern extremity of Holy Isle to Drumadoon Point in the SW of Arran, 11⅓ miles; and its area is 139,482 acres, or 225 square miles. Its topography, hydrography, geognostic structure, history, and antiquities are noticed in our articles on its several islands. About one-third of the land is unprofitable, and a little more than one-sixth is under cultivation, great progress having been made in the course of the last half century, as shown by agricultural statistics. The farms are commonly held on leases of 19 years. The farm buildings in general are neat and comfortable; the arable lands are enclosed; and the condition of agriculture, by means of reclamation, draining, and the adoption of the best systems of husbandry, has been rapidly and highly improved.
The manufactures of Buteshire became a thing of the past with the collapse of the cotton-spinning, the weaving, and the shipbuilding of Rothesay. Fisheries of great extent are divided between the fishery districts of Rothesay and Campbeltown. General commerce is sufficiently extensive to give Rothesay the status of a head port; and extensive commerce, in the export of agricultural produce and in the import of miscellaneous small goods, is carried on by steamers plying from Greenock, Gourock, Wemyss Bay, Helensburgh, and Ardrossan to Rothesay, Millport, Brodick, and Lamlash. A great amount of local prosperity accrues also from a large influx of summer visitors to Bute, Arran, and Big Cumbrae. Good roads traverse most parts, whilst easy communication with the railway system of the Scottish mainland is afforded by the steamers above referred to. The only royal burgh is Rothesay; the police burghs are Rothesay and Millport; and the chief villages are Kamesburgh, Ascog, Brodick, and Lamlash. Mansions are Mountstuart, Brodick Castle, Kirkmichael, Kames Castle, Hillside House, Ascog, Wyndham, and The Garrison. Hotels are numerous at all the centres of population in the county, and in Bute there is, besides, a large new hydropathic establishment, its predecessor having been burned down in 1891. According to Miscellaneous Statistics of the United Kingdom, 138,972 acres, with a total gross estimated rental of £86,178, were divided among 736 landowners; one holding 102,210 acres (rental, £18,702), one 29,279 (£19,575), one 3632 (£622), one 1833 (£1979), one 671 (£185), etc.
The county is governed by a lord lieutenant, a vice-lieutenant, 6 deputy-lieutenants, a sheriff, a sheriff-substitute, and 28 magistrates. Sheriff courts are held at Rothesay every Tuesday and Thursday; sheriff small debt courts at Rothesay every Thursday, at Brodick four times a year, and at Millport twice a year; justice of peace small debt courts at Rothesay and Brodick on the first Monday of every month; and quarter sessions at Rothesay on the first Tuesday of March, May, and August, and the last Tuesday of October The police force in 1891, exclusive of that in Rothesay burgh, comprised 9 men; and the salary of the chief constable was £160. The only prison is at Rothesay. The county, which, prior to the Reform Act of 1832, returned a member to parliament alternately with Caithness, has since returned a member for itself. The constituency in 1891 was 3195. The County Council is composed of sixteen elected members and four representatives appointed by the Town Council of Rothesay, and the Standing Joint-Committee of the County is composed partly of the County Council and partly of the Commissioners of Supply, while the County Road Board is a committee of the County Council. The value of real property, assessed at £22,541 in 1815, was £53,567 in 1855, and £124,413 in 1891. Pop. (1801) 11,791, (1821) 13,797, (1841) 15,740, (1851) 16,608, (1861) 16,331, (1871) 16,977, (1881) 17,666, (1891) 18,404, of whom 8211 were males and 10,139 females; 3511 were Gaelic-speaking. Houses (1891), 4001 inhabited, 1373 vacant, and 9 building.
The registration county comprises 6 parishes, and had, in 1891, a population of 18,387. The island of Little Cumbrae was until 1891 in the parish of Ardrossan and the registration district of West Kilbride, Ayrshire, when the Boundary Commissioners, without disturbing the boundary between the counties of Bute arid Ayr, transferred it to the parish and registration district of Cumbrae, Buteshire. All the parishes are assessed for the poor. The number of registered poor, in the year ending 14 May 1891, was 262; of casual poor, 5. The receipts for the poor, in the same year, were £5340, 18s., and the expenditure was £4570.
The civil county is divided politically into 6 quoad civilia parishes, ecclesiastically into 8 quoad sacra parishes, part of another, and a chapelry. Cumbrae and part of West Kilbride are in the presbyteries of Greenock and Irvine and synod of Glasgow and Ayr; the other 7 are in the presbyteries of Dunoon and Kintyre and synod of Argyll, and in 1891 had 2247 communicants of the Church of Scotland. In 1890 the county had 21 schools (17 of them public), which, with accommodation for 3642 children, had 2640 on the registers, and 2207 in average attendance. See Jn. E. Reid's History of the Count of Bute.

Apple's upcoming software updates
Everything you need to know about Apple's upcoming iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS updates
Apple announced all the software updates coming this fall, here's where you'll get all the details.
Lory Gil
This fall, Apple is releasing major software updates for all its hardware brands – iOS 13, iPadOS 13, watchOS 6, tvOS 13, and macOS Catalina — to customers. Here's what you can expect from Apple's upcoming major software releases.
iOS 13 is finally going dark! With the fall update, you'll be able to switch between dark and light themes across iOS and even select a dynamic theme, which will change from dark to night, depending on the time of day. Apple Maps is also getting some improvements, the biggest of which is "Look Around, which is like Street View on steroids. We've got some security changes with Sign In with Apple and HomeKit Secure Video. In iOS 13, you can make your own Memoji stickers (even if you don't have a device with Face ID. There are major changes to the user interface of the Photos app. AirPods (first and second generation) get Siri improvements and audio sharing and HomePod supports multiple user accounts. Voice Control, an accessibility feature, is a mind-blowing update to VoiceOver that lets users navigate their devices with voice commands. Speaking of accessibility, iPhone and iPad will get mouse and trackpad support, but don't go crazy. It's called "Pointing device" and is intended to be a precision pointer for accessibility needs.
There's so much more coming in iOS 13 that we can't even list everything here. We've got a comprehensive list of what's coming in the update below.
What's new in iOS 13
What's that? A new operating system? That's right. The iPad has grown so much in its short existence that Apple decided it needed a dedicated interface. It's based on iOS, but has it's own layers that make it a unique experience that can only be done on an iPad. It's not a big iPod touch anymore! What's special about iPadOS? How about multiple apps in Split View and apps in multiple spaces. It's not a multi-window experience the way you'd get it on Mac or PC, but its about as close as you can get, designed for iPad. You can pin widgets to your Home screen, there's a new set of tools for Apple Pencil and developers can create their own tools for their apps. Cut/copy/pasting has a whole new experience with three-finger pinching and spreading to "pick up" a section of text and then "dropping it" in a new location. For those wanting more storage or a faster way to transfer photos on the go, iPadOS 13 supports connecting an external hard drive, and yes, that covers iPads with a Lightning port. And yes, those do exist.
What's new in iPadOS 13
macOS Catalina (10.15)
The real winners of the upcoming update to macOS are developers. With Catalyst, mobile developers will be able to easier transform their iOS apps to Mac and only have to make minor adjustments so that their iOS app makes sense on Mac. No more building from the ground up here. In macOS Catalina, Apple is splitting iTunes up into multiple apps, similar to how it works on iOS. Your music library will move to the Music app, your movies and TV show library will move to the TV app, and your podcast library will move to the Podcast app. Apple also added Screen Time to the Mac, including the ability to implement some pretty strict parental controls. My favorite new feature coming in macOS Catalina is Sidecar, which allows you to turn your iPad into a second screen, wirelessly! Many of the new features coming to iOS 13 are also coming to macOS Catalina, like Voice Control, the combined Find My app, Sign in with Apple, and a whole lot more.
What's new in macOS Catalina
All models of Apple Watch (except "series zero") will support watchOS 6, which will give us a calculator, new health tracking for women, a hearing health app called Noise, and an on-board Watch App Store (no more going to your iPhone to download new apps). The Activity app gets some new features to help you track your progress over time and makes you aware of times when you're under-performing. Oh, and let's not forget the new Watch faces that really make your Apple Watch look like a new accessory.
What's new in watchOS 6
The new features coming to tvOS 13 this fall may seem like small potatoes compared to what's coming to the other operating systems, but it's got it where it counts. For example, Apple TV will support multiple user accounts so each person in your family can set up their home screen just the way they want it, with apps and games customized to their own preferences. With Apple Arcade coming to Apple TV in the fall, we're also getting major game controller news with official support for the Xbox Wireless Controller and the Playstation DualShock 4 controller. Apple TV's fancy screensaver is going underwater in tvOS 13 with some relaxing ocean shots from the BBC's Blue Planet.

Children are compassionate by nature, and they will always sympathize with anyone who is hurt. Small girls are usually deeply affected when they see cuddly animals that seem to be lost or hurt. Baby Hazel – Pet Care is a free online baby care game where you have to help baby Hazel take care of her new-found pet. One day, as Hazel is playing outside, she comes across a rabbit that is lost and she decides to bring it home in order to care for it. When she walks in with the bunny and they both look at you with bug eyes, you have no option but to lend a hand and teach Hazel how to care for the bunny, now named Honey Bunny. The first thing that she needs to know is how to bath the bunny. This means getting the basin and filled it with water and suds so she can give the rabbit a good cleaning to remove the dirt it may have collected outside. Once the pet is clean, Hazel has to learn the kinds of food that the bunny eats and also how to feed it. This is a fun time for both Hazel and Honey Bunny. After that, you will need to teach her how to make a home for the bunny. After the house has been built, you will show Hazel how to safely play with the pet. In this game, you will have to take care of the needs of both Hazel and the bunny. If you do not make any of them happy, the happiness meter will go down and the game will shut down. However, if you make both of them happy, the meter will fill up and you will be able to move to the next level. This is a fun game for little girls who love rabbits.
Would you let your child keep a pet? If you would, then you should prepare her by letting her play this game. The game is very informative in that it shows the responsibilities that the child will undertake to make sure that the pet is happy and well taken care of. Taking care of a pet is not as easy as most children think. Most of them think mainly about all the fun that they will have and not about the part where they have to take care of the feeding and hygiene of the pets. Collecting pet litter is something that most children do not consider, even if this is not depicted in the game, but the game lets them know the basics, and the parents can add other details. Having a pet is therapeutic and will also enhance the well being of your child. The bond with another creature outside helps them understand the diversity of nature and some of the ties that bind it all together. A pet understands love and will give it back, and they will extend this to all animals around her. Let the children understand that living well with animals that can be domesticated comes with certain responsibilities when they play this free online baby care game.


Memorial Park is known for its rolling grassy hills, meandering creek, and scenic landscape areas. The hills are a huge attraction for sledding in the winter, but also used for disc golf, concert seating, and picnics in the summer. This 40 acre park lies between Tuscola and Genesee Streets, on the northeast side of town, behind the Frankenmuth High School. In addition to the facilities listed below, the park also features horseshoe pits, a Native American monument, and picnic & playground areas.


Neoliberal Possession - Guerrilla Translation!
Believe you me, neoliberalism is not an institution, but rather a paranormal activity (completely normalized and legally ratified) which operates both in and outside ourselves. This is how it directs our behaviors, those we impose upon ourselves and those we project onto others.
Compete, compete, compete. This is the universal mantra of our time. It's omnipresent. Companies compete, markets compete, governments compete — "we must adopt more competitive policies", they tell us — and to cap it off, we compete against each other. The law of competition is so entrenched that it has become part of our being. I know this is hard to face, my friend, but we ourselves have become small, individual enterprises tirelessly competing with the other small, individual enterprises surrounding us: our peers. This is why you feel so awful lately.
To remedy this dire situation, I suggest you pay no heed to the words of the witchdoctors. If neoliberalism really were, as they like to say, "something that only happens out there" — in the State, the markets or wherever — you wouldn't feel quite so ravaged, I assure you.
And so, when the day comes when we all feel as bad as you do today, when we say we've had enough, we're up to our necks and we're ready to face down this evil spirit, we'll have a very hard time deciding where to begin.
I hate to break it to you, but there is no definitive banishing spell or antidote to end this possession once and for all. What we do have are behaviors which, when repeated, create habits that largely debilitate this malevolent force. It also saddens me to say that putting these behaviors into practice isn't exactly easy. If you try, it's quite likely that you will feel immeasurable fear. Your lips will flutter like flies and you will start hearing strange voices in your head — echoes of a ghostly chant intoned from the depths of darkness, begging you to reconsider.
One of the most insistent of these spectral voices is the one preaching that neoliberal possession can be vanquished once and for all, but only after taking the State and its institutions. Please don't take this the wrong way; of course I support any institutional foray against neoliberal policy, anything of the sort would multiply our chances of confronting this evil spirit. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that it will never be enough. One does not simply banish a specter with a change of policy. This without some new practices of subjectivation won't accomplish much. As much as the neoliberal demon feels best when governments gravitate towards neoliberalism, it's capable of adapting to very adverse circumstances. Never forget this.
Another spell to be avoided is the one popularly known as the straw that breaks the camel's back. Under its burden, one believes that victims need do nothing to end the possession; that history will take care of it for them. Rather than striving to create new values to procure a different subjectivity, this spell suggests that neoliberalism itself will take care of everything by means of its own internal contradictions. So, one fine day, out of the blue, with no one having any idea why, we'll see the birth of some kind of spiritual conquest that changes everything. All we need to do is realize what ails us and await the necessary conditions for our exorcism.
As you will have noticed, both spells ignore the most important lesson that neoliberalism itself has taught us: that possession produces subjectivity. You don't achieve this by merely taking the State and applying different economic policies. None other than Margaret Thatcher expressed it this way: "Economics are the method; the object is to change the heart and soul." And to change people's souls, my friend, to create a new subject, we must rigorously apply ourselves to each and every one of the spheres of influence affecting said subject. As it happens, this incessant activity is precisely the spirit we're possessed by.
Yes, I know, I'm only depressing you further. You were just looking for simple way to expunge this cursed demon from your body and here I am, complicating everything. But do not despair, for I also bring good tidings. Listen: if this evil spirit that has possessed us is also capable of possessing everything, everywhere, all at once, then resistance to that spirit could also appear anywhere, at any time. In fact, if you're paying attention you'll see that this is already happening every single day. We are surrounded by collective experiences that clash with the evil spirit of neoliberalism time and again. The student debt movement in the United States ("You Are Not a Loan") and the Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (PAH), Spain's anti-foreclosure movement, are two stellar examples, but they are neither the only ones nor the most important. Thousands of people are leading the way every day with all sorts of small actions, simply refusing to become competitive enterprises, facing down the specter of neoliberalism both from the inside (by refusing to act like an enterprise) and in relation to others (by refusing to compete). The raw material for conjuring a new spirit, a counter spirit fit to exorcise the specter now possessing us, is found in these isolated, everyday experiences. We only need to connect the dots uniting these small actions, and that necessarily calls for establishing cooperative relationships.
Given that neoliberalism isn't something tied to a specific location but rather something that relates to everything, it's impossible to break free of it individually. Were you to try, the ground would turn to quicksand, and you'd soon understand that no one gets very far without the help of others. That is, unless your path involves feeling contempt and disdain for those who aren't trying as hard as you; or, in the worst of cases, you seek refuge in a shared identity (a political group, an ideology) that claims to have cast out the neoliberal demon, when all it has really done is push competition into the realm of "small communities". Sharing, commoning…these, my friend, are the keys to freeing ourselves from the evil spirit currently possessing us. This is how we expand our counter spirit until it, in turn, is able to nourish the whole with a different set of values. From a political party to the depths of our very souls: everything. Occupy Everything, my friend.
You must be wondering about these new values capable of pulling off such an exorcism. I'll tell you which ones I think fit the bill, but remember: I'm just as possessed as you are and, as you well know, within possession there is no absolute certitude, only intuition. That being said, I believe that cooperation stands out among the rest. It is urgent that we see the other as a comrade and not as an obstacle in our path; only then will we be able to walk in the right direction, on solid footing. Enablement comes a close second. Our spirit must enable us to take upon ourselves all those tasks we now delegate to "the experts". Lastly, I think that possession by a counter spirit should mean a kind of enjoyment that's quite different from that of consumerism. An experience where abundance of time and human relations, along with the fostering of communal life, would become the very definition of what the good life is; a different way to measure "wealth". Let me express it a different way: we will only banish neoliberal possession if we intensify — to the max — the common dimension that imbues every experience. Accomplishing this, my dear friend, would be the most beautiful work of art of all time. It is in our hands to make it so. In yours, and in all of ours, together. Without losing who we are, and without moving from the place we already occupy.
I hope that my words have been helpful and I wish you a prompt recovery. Take good care.

I really love this article. It captures both the external and internal dynamics of neoliberalism and it made me laugh! Great work from Guerilla translation too, thank you.
Just reposted your article on FB and Twitter – I'm looking forward to a speedy recovery.

Miley Cyrus Retracts Nude Photo Apology, Curses Off Critics
by Hilton Hater at April 30, 2018 3:21 pm .
At this stage of her life and career, Miley Cyrus can simulate oral sex on a carrot and spank the Easter Bunny and pretty much no one cares.
That's just how the singer rolls sometimes.
But let's take a trip back to 2008, shall we?
A full decade ago, photographer Annie Leibovitz shot a then-15-year-old Miley for Vanity Fair.
And forget Kim Kardashian sticking her butt out in order to rest a glass of champagne on it, THIS picture nearly broke the Internet, considering it featured a very young Cyrus naked.
She was covered by a sheet, but she was fully naked underneath said sheet.
For someone not yet old enough to drive, and someone mostly known at that point for starring on The Disney Channel, this was a jarring image.
See it for yourself below:
And we know what you must be thinking right now:
What? Huh? That picture caused controversy?!?
Cyrus has gotten nude quite a few times since!
It's true, we know.
But this was 2008. The world was not ready to see Cyrus in such brazen fashion, especially not a 15-year old Cyrus.
"I had a big blanket on. And I thought, 'This looks pretty, and really natural,'" she told the magazine at the time. "I think it's really artsy."
Later on, however, once the backlash really grew intense, Miley issued a different kind of statement.
She said the following as a Mea Culpa:
My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy.
For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed.
I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.
In a separate statement, Leibovitz said:
"I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it... I think it is very beautiful."
So of all that provides context to Miley's latest Tweet, which she wrote 10 years after this scandal exploded and which explains how she now feels about the topic:
Including the front page of The New York Post from April 2008, under the headline "MILEY'S SHAME," Cyrus has retracted the above apology.
"IM NOT SORRY. F--k YOU. #10yearsago," she wrote.
Cyrus Miley had last addressed the scandalous shoot in 2015.
"Our world revolves around sex. Like, when I did this photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz when I was 14 or 15, everyone jumped to make it this sexual thing," she told Time Magazine, adding:
"But I never thought of it as sexual. Annie never thought of taking a sexual photo of a teenager. But everyone made it something it wasn't."
All these years later, we do understand a lot of the criticism this snapshot produced.
Miley was just so young and the world was not ready to see her as anything but Hannah Montana, let alone as someone willing to pose in such a manner.
But now that we've seen what Miley does with a foam finger?
It's safe to say we've been seeing Cyrus in a brand new light for awhile now and we're very used to it and very cool with it.

I am pleased to reaffirm WPP's commitment to the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact covering human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. We are working to integrate these principles into our strategy, culture and operations, and we are committed to collaborating with our clients, suppliers, the UN and others on these issues and to sharing our progress with stakeholders through our Sustainability Report.
This report is our second Communication on Progress against the Global Compact Principles, covering the year 2016. This table provides a summary of our approach in each area and links to where further information and performance data can be found in our report.
Our human rights policy statement reflects international standards and principles including the International Bill of Human Rights, the UN's Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the Children's Rights and Business Principles. Our commitment is also explained in our Code of Business Conduct, our Sustainability Policy, and our Code of Business Conduct – Supplier Version. We updated a number of other policies relating to employment and procurement during 2016 to reflect our commitment to human rights.
Our main human rights impact is as a major employer in 112 countries and we aim to embed respect for human rights into our employment practices. This includes providing safe workplaces, selecting and promoting our people on the basis of their qualifications and merit, preventing discrimination and encouraging diversity. We recognise the rights of our people to freedom of association and collective bargaining and will not tolerate discrimination, harassment or any form of forced, compulsory or child labour. We report our progress in areas such as diversity and health and safety in our Sustainability Report.
Our people can report concerns or suspected cases of misconduct including those relating to human rights through our third party-managed Right to Speak facility, overseen by our internal audit department.
We do not tolerate any form of modern slavery, forced labour or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. As part of our due diligence processes we have assessed the risk of modern slavery for WPP.
This found the risk of modern slavery to be very low in our direct workforce and among our strategic tier-one suppliers, those with whom we have a direct contractual relationship. During 2017, we will publish our first annual slavery and human trafficking statement in response to the UK's Modern Slavery Act that will contain more information on our approach. This will be publicly available on our website.
We expect supplier partners to adopt similar human rights standards to our own and all major supplier partners are asked to sign our Code of Business Conduct – Supplier Version. This includes requirements relating to labour practices (such as wages, anti-harassment and discrimination and health & safety), human rights (including no child, forced or bonded labour), social impacts (such as anti-bribery and corruption) and other sustainability issues. We assess supplier partners in key areas of our supply chain on sustainability risks, including human rights risks.
Our companies provide creative services to organisations involved in protecting and promoting human rights, often on a pro bono basis. This is our main opportunity to positively promote human rights. We report the value of this work and publish recent examples in our Pro bono book.
We are close to meeting our target to reduce our per head carbon footprint to 1.8 tonnes, a 47% reduction since 2006. We report our progress annually.
We aim to select supplier partners who meet high environmental standards and we work with suppliers on environmental issues.
Our companies work with clients on environmental campaigns designed to raise the profile of greener products and services and engage consumers on sustainability issues. We have also analysed the carbon footprint of our value chain and are exploring how we can work with clients to reduce the carbon footprint of media campaigns.
Our companies provide pro bono creative services to organisations involved in environmental protection. We report the value of this work and publish recent examples in our Pro bono book.
Senior managers in all our companies and our business partners and major supplier partners are asked to sign a copy of the WPP Code of Business Conduct each year to confirm they will comply with its principles.
Our ethics training, 'How we behave', is compulsory for all our people. It covers topics such as diversity, human rights and avoiding misleading work. Our online training on anti-bribery and corruption covers the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act on issues such as hospitality and gifts, facilitation payments and the use of third-party advisors. All our people are required to complete both sets of training and over 120,000 have done so since the last update in 2016.
Our due diligence process for acquisitions and expansion into new markets includes a review of ethical risks including those relating to bribery and corruption, human rights or ethical issues associated with client work. We take steps to ensure that acquired businesses embed our policies and undertake our anti-bribery training.
Supplier partners must comply with our Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and our procurement professionals work with supplier partners to ensure our policy is implemented.

New Year's Banquet held at Shuri Castle first time after fire
This year's Ryukyu king and queen pose for a photo during the New Year's Banquet festivities on Jan. 1, at the Shuri Castle Park in Shuri, Naha City.
January 1, 2020 Ryukyu Shimpo
Shuri Castle Park's annual New Year's Banquet (Shinshun no Utage), a three-day festivity, held during the first three days of each New Year, opened again this year on park grounds on January 1, in Naha City, Okinawa.
It is the first New Year's Banquet since the castle burned down in October.
Just as the previous years, many families and tourists visited the park to enjoy the ceremony, which was held before the castle ruins.
The guests wished for the castle to soon regain its former glory.
The ancient New Year's ceremony of the Ryukyu Dynasty, the Imperial New Year's Morning Ceremony (Chouhaiokishiki), is re-enacted every year at the Shuri Castle Main Hall, or the Seiden, and its courtyard, the Una.
As the three-day event was scaled down this year, the imperial morning ceremony was called off.
At the Lower Garden (Shichanu Una) of the Shuri Castle, the Ryukyu chamber music, Uzagaku, played as this year's Ryukyu king and queen appeared. Guests took photos of the couple posing in front of the main citadel entrance (Houshinmon), with some of its framing still exposed.
Tsugunori Kedamori, 59, a school teacher from Yaese, and his wife Reiko, 58, said, "The Shuri Castle fire was heart breaking, but we're hoping the castle will be rebuilt soon."
Their daughter Yui, 17, a junior at Kaiho High School, commented, "I want to learn more about Okinawan history."
Both domestic and international tourists visited Shuri Castle during the New Year's festivities.
Visitors enjoying the Uzagaku performance at the Keizuza and Yomotsuza on Jan. 1, at the Shuri Castle Park in Shuri, Naha City.
Kiminori Sato, 44, a civil-service worker from Hokkaido, visited with his family.
He said, "We expected Shuri Castle to be closed, but we were excited to see more of the castle than we had hoped. We'd like to come back when it's rebuilt."
The New Year's Banquet featured traditional Ryukyu dance and music, and Okinawan awamori liquor tastings to celebrate the New Year.
A bulletin board was set up in the basement level of the Suimui-kan, which houses the visitor center, and many left supportive messages, wishing for a swift reconstruction of the castle.

Upcoming Eddie Redmayne Movies We Are Excited About
Shubham Sharma
Eddie Redmayne started his professional acting career as a youth in West End Theatre, before making his screen debut in 1998 with guest appearances in the television show 'Animal Ark'. He made his big screen debut in 2006 with roles in 'Like Minds' and 'The Good Shepherd'. Redmayne then played Antony Baekeland in 2007's 'Savage Grace'; Thomas Babington in 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age', which too released in 2007; Gordy in 'The Yellow Handkerchief', which released in 2008; and as William Stafford in 2008's 'The Other Boleyn Girl'.
He did a few other supporting roles in the following years before starring in the stage production of 'Red' from 2009 to 2010. Redmayne won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his performance in the play. He also starred in the stage production of Richard II from 2011 to 2012. Redmayne's film breakthrough came with the roles of Colin Clark in the biographical drama 'My Week with Marilyn', which released in 2011 and Marius Pontmercy in 2012's musical 'Les Miserables', directed by Tom Hooper.
In 2014, he played Stephen Hawking in the biographical drama 'The Theory of Everything'. He received a lot of praise for his performance in the movie and also won many awards including the Academy Award for Best Actor. He is the only male to have been born in the 1980s to have won the acting Oscar. Redmayne followed this performance with an equally brilliant performance as Lili Elbe, in Tom Hooper's 'The Danish Girl', which released in 2015. He received a second Oscar nomination for his performance in the film.
In 2016, Redmayne appeared for the first time as Newt Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts film series. The movie was titled 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' and was directed by David Yates. He again appeared as the character in 2018's 'Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald'. The Fantastic Beasts film series is a prequel to the Harry Potter film series. Fans of the Harry Potter film series are loving this new series and especially the character Newt Scamander played by Redmayne.
Redmayne is an amazing actor who has his roots in the theatre which makes his performances seem effortless and technical at the same time. He has gained worldwide popularity with the movie 'The Theory of Everything' and the Fantastic Beasts film series. Till now he has been very smart about his film choices and has picked amazing films to work in. He is an actor who is turning into a star and will shine very brightly in the coming years.
At this point, the question that might be circling your mind is what and when is the next Eddie Redmayne movie coming? Well, the good news is that we have a clear answer to that question. Here's the list of upcoming Eddie Redmayne films scheduled to release in 2019 and 2020. We can only hope that the latest Eddie Redmayne movies would be as good as some of his recent ones.
1. The Aeronauts (2019)
'The Aeronauts' is a biographical adventure film being directed by Tom Harper. It follows pilot Amelia Wren and scientist James Glaisher who find themselves in an epic fight for survival while attempting to make discoveries in a hot air balloon. He is joined by his 'The Theory of Everything' co-star Felicity Jones who is playing Amelia Wren in the film. The chemistry between them was amazing in their first film together and can be expected to be even better this time around. Redmayne is playing a scientist, so portraying the character must have been easier this time around as he has played Stephen Hawking in 'The Theory of Everything'. The expectations from the film are high and it just might meet them and might even be better than the expectations. The filming of the film has been completed and it is all set to release on November 1, 2019.

Fmr. Director of CIA — and fmr. CIA operative in Iran — endorse Damascus Countdown
March 6, 2013 By joelcrosenberg in Epicenter
It has been a pleasure in recent years to get to know and become friends with two men who have served our country with great distinction at the Central Intelligence Agency.
One is Porter Goss, who served as an undercover agent for the CIA, then in Congress as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and finally served as President George W. Bush's Director of Central Intelligence.
The other is Reza Kahlili, who was born in Iran, became an officer in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, was repulsed by the evil he saw in the Khomenei regime, and decided to become a double agent for the CIA to spy on the Iranian regime. He eventually became a U.S. citizen and wrote a fascinating book about his experiences. [By the way, I should note here that I did not know Reza Kahlili when I began writing this novel series. Thus, it is pure coincidence that my main character in this series is "David Shirazi," an Iranian who becomes an undercover agent for the CIA and whose alias is "Reza Tabrizi." Truth is stranger than fiction.
They have spent countless hours letting me ask them many questions about Iran, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, and other challenging countries and issues in the Middle East. In fact, on Monday, I interviewed Porter and hope to be able to transcribe that interview and publish it soon.
In the meantime, I'm deeply honored to receive endorsements from both of these fine men upon the release of Damascus Countdown.
"Whenever I see a new Joel Rosenberg book coming out, I know I need to clear time on my calendar. His penetrating knowledge of all things Mid-eastern — coupled with his intuitive knack for high stakes intrigue — demand attention. I've read them all, and been richly rewarded. I'm especially looking forward to Damascus Countdown."
— Porter Goss, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
"Joel Rosenberg is one of the most knowledgeable people writing about the Middle East that I've had the honor to meet. He has a particularly clear understanding of what is going on in today's Iran and Syria and the grave threat these two countries pose to the rest of the world. His is an important voice in a sea of misdirected and erroneous information that distorts the truth about the realities of these countries' intentions."
— Reza Kahlili, former CIA operative in Iran and best-selling author of A Time to Betray: The Astonishing Double Life of a CIA Agent Inside the Revolutionary Guards of Iran

Laguna Beach lifeguards rescued 40 swimmers last weekend as big swells hit the coast.
The largest waves occurred Friday — sets averaged 6 to 8 feet, but occasionally topped 9 feet, Marine Safety Officer Joshua Bynum said. Saturday sets averaged 4 to 6 feet, but clouds kept crowds at bay.
"With swells like that, if the weather was good, the number [of rescues] could have gone up to 150 or 200," Bynum said.
There were no serious injuries or medical emergencies associated with the rescues, which were evenly split between surfline breaks and swimmers caught in riptides from Friday through Sunday, Bynum said.
A rip current pulled one woman nearly 300 yards offshore near Brooks Street beach on Friday, he said.
Near the shore, waves break and can pull people into the ocean, according to Bynum.
Treasure Island (below the Montage resort) and Crescent Bay saw greater numbers of rescues than other spots due to more beachgoers flocking to those locations, according to Bynum.
Even with the greater concentration of swimmers at Treasure Island, the number of beachgoers throughout Laguna this weekend was less than what good weather and big waves sometimes bring.
"The Saturday crowd was maybe 15,000, where on a good weekend we might see 40,000 to 60,000 people on the beach," Bynum said.
Laguna Beach is still in pre-summer staffing levels.
Eleven of the 34 lifeguard towers were staffed Saturday and Sunday, while just four had lifeguards on duty on Friday, Bynum said.
"It's what we're budgeted for," he said.
All towers will be staffed for summer beginning June 22, Bynum said.


JOHNS HOPKINS IS top hospital of the world located in the US -following data will enlighten you about Cancer.
Dos & donts will help you.
1.Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2.Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apotheosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

Understanding the Different Types of Child Custody in Minnesota
Tony Toepfer
When a couple gets divorced, they have to reorganize almost every part of their lives. When they have children, it means reorganizing their children's lives too. When you are trying to make a child custody agreement or get a court order, you'll soon find out that — because lawyers seem to like to make things complicated — there are different types of child custody in Minnesota. The word "custody" has several meanings in Minnesota's custody laws. First, state law distinguishes between "legal" and "physical" custody. It also identifies "joint" and "sole" custody arrangements.
To add what can feel like yet another complication, even if divorcing parents are able to agree on a custody plan, state law requires a judge to evaluate whether or not the plan is in the "best interests of the child." In the end, this is a good thing: Minnesota's family laws put children's interests ahead of almost anything else in a divorce case. But understanding the various laws involved can be frustrating (at best!).
Below I give you an overview of what these laws mean, and try to make sense of some of the legalese. But if you're still not sure how the custody laws might apply in your divorce, you're not alone. The law is complicated, and I'd definitely encourage you to reach out to a child custody lawyer for advice.
Judges in Minnesota cannot approve an agreed custody plan unless they believe that it is in the child's (or children's) "best interests." If the parties cannot agree on a plan, and they ask the court to decide, the judge must include an evaluation of "best interests" as part of their order. This often involves looking at nearly all aspects of the parents' relationship with the children and with each other, along with many other factors.
The term "best interests of the child" does not have a quick or easy definition. Judges have to decide based on each child's unique circumstances. Section 518.17 of the Minnesota Statutes establishes several presumptions to guide courts in their evaluations, including:
That having "safe, stable, nurturing relationships [with] both parents" is in a child's best interests; and
That both parents are able to have and maintain this sort of relationship with their child, "unless there are substantial reasons to believe otherwise."
This section of Minnesota law also provides a list of twelve factors that courts must consider regarding a proposed custody plan and the child's best interests. It is not meant to be an exhaustive list, meaning that courts can consider other factors if it is appropriate under a case's specific circumstances. The factors identified in § 518.17 include:
The child's needs. This may include general emotional or spiritual needs, like where the child is likely to be happiest; and specific medical or educational needs, like where certain resources are most readily available.
Each parent's history with the child, including "participation in providing care for the child."
The impact that a proposed custody plan will have on the child's relationships with parents, siblings, and other individuals.
History of domestic abuse and other issues of concern.
The "willingness and ability of each parent" to care for the child and "to cooperate in the rearing of their child."
Physical vs. Legal Custody
This type of custody distinguishes between the day-to-day routine of raising a child and the broader decisions about a child's care and upbringing. "Physical custody" refers to the day-to-day aspects, includes the right to determine where and with whom a child lives.
Typically, a child resides with one parent most of the time, and has regular visitation with the other parent. Some parents are able to manage a roughly 50/50 custody split, meaning that the child lives with each parent an equal amount of time. This can work if both parents live close to one another and to the child's school, and are able to exchange the child regularly without difficulty.
The popular image of divorced parents is often that of two people who can barely stand to be around each other. Thankfully, this is not the only reason an equal custody division might not work.
Not all parents are able to do a 50/50 split, for an almost-infinite number of reasons. The popular image of divorced parents is often that of two people who can barely stand to be around each other. Thankfully, this is not the only reason an equal custody division might not work. One parent's job, for example, might prevent them from living close enough to the other parent. In those cases, state law expects parents to do everything they can to ensure that the child has regular contact with both parents.
"Legal custody" refers to parents' rights to make the big decisions about raising their child. The statute mentions "education, health care, and religious training." This type of custody is particularly important for children with any sort of special needs, such as ongoing medical care or therapy. It can also involve children's hobbies and extracurricular activities, ensuring that children get the support they need in order to found a company or go to the Olympics later in life.
All of the scenarios described in this section assume that the parents have "joint" custody of the child. Further explanation of that term is necessary.
Joint vs. Sole Custody
Under Minnesota law, "joint" custody of a child means that both parents have rights and obligations. The word "sole" does not actually appear in the section that defines joint custody, but it is commonly understood to be the opposite of "joint."
Parents who have joint legal custody of a child "have equal rights and responsibilities" to make the big decisions. An ideal example of joint legal custody might consist of parents who collaborate on long-term planning for their child's health and education, who consult with one another on major decisions, and who keep one another promptly informed of important developments.
Joint physical custody refers to a situation where a child's residence and daily routine are "structured between the parties." The 50/50 custody split described earlier is a classic example of joint physical custody. That said, § 518.17 states quite clearly that it "does not require an absolutely equal division of time." As discussed, an equal division is often not practical, and could cause more problems for a child than it solves.
Sole custody means that only one parent has certain rights. Sole legal custody makes one parent responsible for the big decisions. Sole physical custody gives one parent the exclusive right to determine where a child lives (to a point - moves out of state or that would interfere with the other parent's parenting time still require court approval or agreement by the other parent). The other parent may still have a right to visitation with the child, and to be informed about information on education, health, and other matters.
A court order granting sole custody to one parent often happens after wrongdoing by the other parent, such as domestic abuse. It should not, however, be a reward to the parent with sole custody, or a punishment for the other parent. It should only ever be a decision based on the child's best interest. Rather than thinking of it as a parent without physical custody having a right to visitation, it is better to think of it as a child having an interest in being able to see that parent.

i can put up more code if needed but im sure the rest of the code is ok but if anyone wants to look at any other pieces of code just ask
what does this error mean and can anyone see what is going wrong?

A: This is a bug with Safari and its handling of inputs with type="tel". I wouldn't worry about it.
I was having the same problem and then I found this: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/2341

Environment Secretary urged to revoke lease on woodland oil drilling site in Surrey hills
By Ruth Hayhurst on December 19, 2016 • ( 9 Comments )
The road to Bury Hill Wood near Leith Hill
The government is being urged to block a land agreement that will allow exploratory drilling for oil near the Leith Hill beauty spot in Surrey.
Two councillors have written to the Environment Secretary, Andrea Leadsom, saying she has the power to revoke a lease signed by the Forestry Commission with Europa Oil & Gas.
Cllrs Claire Malcomson and Clayton Wellman said drilling on the forestry site at Bury Hill Wood in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty would amount to a "breach of the public trust".
In a letter to Mrs Leadsom and the Forestry Commission director, Ian Gambles, sent today the councillors said:
"You, in your individual roles, and the FC [Forestry Commission] are stewards of the land. The land is ours, everybody's. It belongs to the people of this nation.
"The lease for these activities is entirely in your gift. You have the power to revoke it and to deny any further leasing of FC land for hydrocarbon exploration or extraction. The will is all that is required."
The councillors, who represent the Holmwood ward for the Lib Dems on Mole Valley District Council, said the lease contradicted the objectives of the Paris climate agreement, as well as UK policy, the Forestry Commission's mission statement and the interests of the local community.
They said:
"Any lease of [Forestry Commission] land for industry other than recreation or forestry itself is essentially wrong and a breach of the public trust.
"The risks and damage that could, and will, be unleashed by such actions fly in the face of the covenant between the Government, the [Forestry Commission] FC and the people.
"It simply does not make sense what the FC is prepared to allow on its land, and these activities entirely contradict its purpose."
The site, known by the oil industry as Holmwood-1, is near the village of Coldharbour, on the edge of Dorking. A planning inspector granted permission last year after a long-running dispute between the company on one side and local residents and Surrey County Council on the other.
Europa is currently negotiating with the council over conditions for its planning permission. It has also applied for an extension to the site and extra security fencing. Opponents of drilling have established a camp at the site.
People "overwhelmingly against" drilling
Cllr Wellman and Malcomson said in their letter:
"Neither of us has come across one person in our immediate community, nor in the wider area, who is in favour of the activity that has been permitted. We, the people, are overwhelmingly against this type of use of FC land."
They said oil exploration contradicted the purposes of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
"[The proposed activities on the site] threaten all aspects of the AONB status and designation. The proposal is unwanted by the community, it brings no benefits to those who live and work in the area and it will destroy the peace and opportunity for quiet enjoyment. It is obvious to see that rather than conserve and enhance, it will destroy, pollute and degrade. In short, the application is not suitable for this location whatsoever."
One of the conditions of the planning permission is that the work last for no more than 18 weeks.
But the letter argued:
"The entire purpose of this application is to gain a foothold to then develop a long term drilling site."
The councillors urged Mrs Leadsom:
"Please be a leader instead of cow-towing to this outdated and destructive industry, ever more desperate to bleed our land dry. Please stand up for your core principles as the FC and as Secretary for the Environment. Please stand up for our international pledges and show they mean something. And above all, please do what is right and proper, uphold the public trust and safeguard our land as promised."
Forestry Commission leases
DrillOrDrop asked the Forestry Commission about the criteria it used to decide when to lease its land for non-forestry activities. A spokesperson said:
"The Public Forest Estate has been let for a large variety of non-forestry activities in its 100 year history including traditional oil and mineral extraction. We consider the impacts on the forest and final decisions on Planning Applications are made by the relevant the Planning Authority. In this case the exploration activity is only approved for a temporary period."
Asked about the value and duration of the lease, the spokesperson said:
"The first lease for exploration ran from 2013-2015; the current lease runs from 2015 to 2018. The rent paid is exempt from disclosure under Section 12(5)(e) of the Environmental Information Regulations "Confidentiality of commercial or industrial information where such confidentiality is provided by law to protect a legitimate economic interest."

Four west country councils vote against fracking
Breaking: Judge gives go-ahead for Third Energy's North Yorkshire fracking site
Tony Seaton says:
You don't speak for me. I actually want the lights to stay on when the wind dissent blow and the sun has hidden behind the clouds. I want the MRI machine to work at the hospital.
I want my fuel bill to be affordable! Not £600 per month with unsubsidised off shore wind or HP2.
Wave power would iriversibly change our estuaries. (And cost £550 per month)
And I do believe the woodland in question is cash crop non native trees that will be replanted with native trees….
Tony, you can't drink oil now can you? Your "affordable" fuel bill comes at a huge cost to the enviroment which will be offset by a changing climate, spoiled groundwater, and other debts that even your grandchildren's grandchildren will be paying for in their lifetime. Solar could easily provide all the electricity you need for your MRI and the lights in your house. You're fuel bill is unaffordable becuase of the corporations who own your energy and sell it to you at a premium. Wave power would not irreversibly change our estuaries, but an oil leak most certainly would. That's the beauty of renewable technologies. When they're spent or new technologies take their place, all you have to do is dismantle. You can't dismantle contaminated groundwater or take toxins out of the soil or the air we breath.
Claire Williams says:
Very short sighted view, it is the whole environment on this hillside that is involved. What will you drink when the water is polluted by shale gas extraction?
There is the population of Sutton and South East Surrey that relies on the water in the acquifer under the hill that is so important.
An Ecosystem just doesn't work on looking at one aspect, it isn't just the trees, it is also the Nightjars, Bats, Sand Lizards, Adders, countless numbers of fauna and flora that is at stake that rely on an unpolluted environment in which to thrive.
So how do wind farms get on FC land – after clear felling?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10546071/Millions-of-trees-chopped-down-to-make-way-for-Scottish-wind-farms.html
Gordon Sim says:
There wont be any replanting of anything on this land after Oil drilling as the waste spoil kills everthing. The land will be dead, check it out in the USA, not good.
David Berryman says:
Just like the forests that surround the Wytch Farm oil wells.
Oh dear Gordon! My experience of fracking, is that the injected solution is very largely fully recovered (measured in and out) and then disposed of via proper treatment.
Perhaps you are confused with the waste that the protestors leave around such sites.
But, hey ho, keep churning it out because once a few test wells are drilled without all these disasters being produced public opinion will abandon your cause completely.
Remind me, who was Swampy??
Martin Collyer. You say, "My experience of fracking is that the injected fluid is very largely fully recovered (measured in and out) and then disposed of via proper treatment."
Cuadrilla's Andrew Quarles, speaking at a Shale Gas Summit organised by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers doesn't seem quite so confident of recovering it. He doesn't seem to care either.
He said "Very little of the fracture fluid ever returns to the surface. So when we inject water in there, most of it does not come back. There are lots of theories. No one knows exactly what is going on or where the water goes or where it's final resting place is. The water could go into the fractures caused by fracking or it could be absorbed into the shale formation."
So that's what they mean by Gold Standard Regulations.
http://www.drillordrop/cuadrilla-banks-on-low-return-of-flowback-fluid-for-lancashire-wells
Sorry, fat finger! Pressed the key before I had added, "and of course plenty of on shore (non fracked) oil wells already across the south of England, many situated within woodland".

On Friday, November 9th, Atlanta-based record label LVRN engaged in a fruitful discussion at Harvard University with students and artists from throughout the Boston area looking to learn more about what it takes to make a name for themselves. According to the team, there are three critical factors that attribute to an artist's success: hard work (not just talent), how good their management team is, and where and how they publish their music.
First and foremost, LVRN makes it clear that hard work beats talent. It is one's dedication to their art and their vision that sets them apart from the rest. A talent for producing, songwriting, or performing only gets you so far. It is the tough skin and perseverance needed to withstand (and bounce back) from criticism and rejection that produces winning artists.
Finally, how and where an artist publishes their music can make or break a career. Atlanta, a growing hub of producers, singers, songwriters, and promoters is incredibly different from Boston's music scene, something that LVRN made very clear to the audience. An artist needs to know their city - what it needs, what it wants, what it's looking for - before curating music in order to meet the demands of its listeners.
As part of No Label's second speaker series, LVRN paired transparency with personal insights to deliver an invaluable session to nearly 300 creatives. While the alignment of people, experiences, and timing is important, it does not account for the fact that everyone has the potential to make it big as long as they stick to their vision and remember to retain their why.
Yes, your sound might be "good" - but why should LVRN listen to it? What sets you and your why apart from any other artist?

People around Texas are wondering what was falling from the sky. Nobody seems to have an answer. Police around Austin got 911 calls about something that looked like it was on fire as it streaked through the sky. Williamson County even had a helicopter try to find evidence. So far there are still more questions than answers. Video of this is all over the news and the net.
The event occurred in skies north of Austin about 11 a.m., according to e-mails from citizens to the Austin American-Statesman.
The Associated Press reported late Sunday afternoon that the Federal Aviation Administration had received numerous reports of falling debris across Texas, which could be related to a recent satellite collision. FAA spokesman Roland Herwig said officials suspect the debris could be related to the collision, but he said that had not been confirmed.
AP reported that the FAA notified pilots on Saturday to be aware of possible debris after the collision Tuesday between the U.S. and Russian communications satellites.
Foster said officials at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport told them they were unaware of any aircraft in the portion of the sky where the burning debris was spotted.
Foster said a helicopter flew over northern Williamson County Sunday morning to survey the area at the request of law officers but pilots saw nothing unusual.
"We are pretty sure it was not an airplane, which was our first concern," Foster said. He said Federal Aviation Administration officials conjectured that people may have seen debris from satellites.
The Waco Tribune-Herald newspaper reported on its web site Sunday afternoon that Randy Plemons, chief deputy with the McLennan County Sheriff's Department said a sheriff's office pilot flew the county's helicopter searching for debris about 100 miles north of Austin but found nothing, despite reports from Waco residents who saw the fireball and heard explosions.
The chief deputy said citizens who find what they believe might be satellite remains should not touch it and should contact the sheriff's office.
There does not seem to be any real information from any government agency. Either nobody knows what it is or they do know and are not talking. Citizens, don't touch it if you find it. Ok, afterall, we might accidently open the door of it and little green men may come out and say "Take me to your leader." Then again there is a new movie with "the Rock" in it and he's worried about aliens. Interesting timing.Hum...
You can't beat a good conspiracy theory (or can you?)

Strategic Research Agenda Update Released November 2015
ETP4HPC as an industry-led think tank and advisory group of companies and research centres involved in HPC (i.e. Supercomputing) technology research in Europe has just released an update to the European High-Performance Computing (HPC) Technology Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) issued for the first time in 2013 by ETP4HPC. This SRA update will be followed by a full issue in 2017. There will be a call for feedback which will be used in future issues.
ETP4HPC issues and maintains this SRA as a mechanism to provide contextual guidance to European Researchers and Businesses and also to guide EU priorities for research in the Horizon 2020 HPC programme. This SRA delineates a roadmap for the achievement of European exascale capabilities focusing on the following areas: HPC System Architecture and Components, Energy and Resiliency, Programming Environment, System Software and Management, Big Data and HPC Usage Models, Balance Compute, I/O and Storage Performance, Mathematics and algorithms for extreme scale HPC systems and Extreme-Scale Demonstrators.
This SRA Update will serve as a reference text for FETHPC 16-17 recently published calls and also suggests future paths for EsDs, CoEs, ISVs, end-users etc. for calls in 18-19, when the implementation of Extreme-Scale Demonstrators should take place. Whilst this report points heavily towards the H2020 HPC program for its delivery, the primary objective is to develop Europe's HPC ecosystem and maximise its exploitation.
ETP4HPC would like to express their gratitude and thanks to those who contributed in the issuing of this SRA Update, which includes experts and ISVs to SMEs and end-users.
THE STRATEGIC RESEARCH AGENDA 2015
