BrandQ® is a unique program focused on the packaging supply chain, providing tools, measurements, methods, and language for facilitating effective communications between brands and suppliers.
BrandQ training is delivered live, via two- or three-day hands-on classes, and online. Industry expert instructors facilitate both formats and all attendees must demonstrate competency with the hands-on portion of the class and score favorably on a final examination to receive BrandQ certification.
A BrandQ Expert is qualified to train and implement the BrandQ program at brand and supplier facilities. BrandQ training is aimed at color management/process control experts (preferably those already certified as a G7 Expert, although this is not a prerequisite) and focuses on required knowledge that is required to teach the BrandQ program and how to conduct location audits as a certified BrandQ Expert. Upon completion of the program participants will take an on-line test and receive a packet of materials to assess. Participants read and report on these materials as part of the certification process through a remote, instructor-led session. Once certified, BrandQ Experts are listed on the Idealliance BrandQ website as a certified Idealliance BrandQ Expert.
The BrandQ program was created by the packaging supply chain for the packaging supply chain. BrandQ helps brand managers communicate expectations and requirements and then carefully monitor and measure these throughout their supply chain. Brand managers who take the BrandQ training learn the language of quality control and print measurement and how to effectively communicate expectations with suppliers. They learn how to determine if suppliers can meet their expectations and the how to best work with spot colors, among many other critical components. The program results in a vastly improved brand/supplier relationship.
BrandQ Training programs will run throughout 2018 around the United States and Internationally. It is possible to arrange a custom training programs tailored to an organization's specific needs as well. If you're interested in learning more about the BrandQ program, let us know.

This is my big 4-plate moonbase module, originally built for NWBrickCon 2002.
Various moonbase modules, used to fill out the moonbase layout, some from as far back as 2002.
The MBSE was never completed, but that didn't stop me from dragging it to 3 NWBrickCons and BrickFest PDX.
This moonbase module packs a punch up to about 6 feet- just enough to reach the Trains display at NWBC 2005!
This module is basically a box that can hold a small store.
Every moonbase needs a place to buy caps and pins... and everyone knows that Kap King is the best!

Q: Can I wrap Modifier with remember in Jetpack Compose? In order to share settings among of compose functions, I create a class AboutState() and a compose fun rememberAboutState() to persist settings.
I don't know if I can wrap Modifier with remember in the solution.
The Code A can work well, but I don't know if it maybe cause problem when I wrap Modifier with remember, I think Modifier is special class and it's polymorphic based invoked.
Code A
@Composable
fun ScreenAbout(
    aboutState: AboutState =  rememberAboutState()
) {
   Column() {
       Hello(aboutState)
       World(aboutState)
   }
}

@Composable
fun Hello(
    aboutState: AboutState
) {
    Text("Hello",aboutState.modifier)
}

@Composable
fun World(
    aboutState: AboutState
) {
    Text("World",aboutState.modifier)
}

class AboutState(
    val textStyle: TextStyle,
    val modifier: Modifier=Modifier
) {
    val rowSpace: Dp = 20.dp
}

@Composable
fun rememberAboutState(): AboutState {
    val aboutState = AboutState(
        textStyle = MaterialTheme.typography.body1.copy(
            color=Color.Red
        ),
        modifier=Modifier.padding(start = 80.dp)
    )
    return remember {
        aboutState
    }
}

A: There wouldn't be a problem passing a Modifier to a class. What you actually defined above, even if named State, is not class that acts as a State, it would me more appropriate name it as HelloStyle, HelloDefaults.style(), etc.
It would be more appropriate to name a class XState when it should have internal or public MutableState that can trigger recomposition or you can get current State of Composable or Modifier due to changes. It shouldn't contain only styling but state mechanism either to change or observe state of the Composble such as ScrollState or PagerState.
When you have a State wrapper object common way of having a stateful Modifier or Modifier with memory or Modifiers with Compose scope is using Modifier.composed{} and passing State to Modifier, not the other way around.
When do you need Modifier.composed { ... }?
fun Modifier.composedModifier(aboutState: AboutState) = composed(
    factory = {
        val color = remember { getRandomColor() }
        aboutState.color = color
        Modifier.background(aboutState.color)
    }
)

In this example even if it's not practical getRandomColor is created once in recomposition and same color is used.
A zoom modifier i use for zooming in this library is as
fun Modifier.zoom(
    key: Any? = Unit,
    consume: Boolean = true,
    clip: Boolean = true,
    zoomState: ZoomState,
    onGestureStart: ((ZoomData) -> Unit)? = null,
    onGesture: ((ZoomData) -> Unit)? = null,
    onGestureEnd: ((ZoomData) -> Unit)? = null
) = composed(
    factory = {
        val coroutineScope = rememberCoroutineScope()

        // Current Zoom level
        var zoomLevel by remember { mutableStateOf(ZoomLevel.Min) }

           // Rest of the code

    },
    inspectorInfo = {
        name = "zoom"
        properties["key"] = key
        properties["clip"] = clip
        properties["consume"] = consume
        properties["zoomState"] = zoomState
        properties["onGestureStart"] = onGestureStart
        properties["onGesture"] = onGesture
        properties["onGestureEnd"] = onGestureEnd
    }
)

Another practical example for this is Modifier.scroll that uses rememberCoroutineScope(), you can also remember object too to not intantiate another object in recomposition
@OptIn(ExperimentalFoundationApi::class)
private fun Modifier.scroll(
    state: ScrollState,
    reverseScrolling: Boolean,
    flingBehavior: FlingBehavior?,
    isScrollable: Boolean,
    isVertical: Boolean
) = composed(
    factory = {
        val overscrollEffect = ScrollableDefaults.overscrollEffect()
        val coroutineScope = rememberCoroutineScope()
        // Rest of the code
    },
    inspectorInfo = debugInspectorInfo {
        name = "scroll"
        properties["state"] = state
        properties["reverseScrolling"] = reverseScrolling
        properties["flingBehavior"] = flingBehavior
        properties["isScrollable"] = isScrollable
        properties["isVertical"] = isVertical
    }
)

Are you in need of a versatile storage option to contain the clutter and chaos that's beginning to overtake your home? Add convenient storage and beautiful style to any room in your home with this multimedia storage cabinet from the Orchard Hills collection. Its two front doors swing open 180 degrees for easy access to all your treasures inside. On the inside of each door are four fixed shelves for optimal storage of your collection of books and DVDs.

It also features a key lock so you can keep are your valuables safe and secure. Its simplistic design and charming style make it a perfect fit for any room in your home. Finished in Carolina Oak and detailed with stylish hardware, this storage cabinet is just what your home needs.
I just love this cabinet. The grain of Oak is beautiful and it blends in great with other furniture. I've not only stored DVD's, CD's and VHS Tapes but have made a filing system for accumulated "assorted" cards and I'm still not finished. It doesn't take up a lot of room but holds a lot. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves the look of Oak.
Given the demise of the VHS format, we decided to keep our collection of treasures 'just because'. Finding the appropriate cabinet was not easy...until we saw your Sauder Orchard Hills perfect cabinet. Granted, it was good we had an expert to assemble the rather complex hardware but....when it was completed, the result is amazing. It has the appearance of very fine furniture...very precise fittings...beautiful finish and it holds a sizable collection easily. I couldn't be more pleased and have already raved about it to friends who have the same dilemma ...what to do with all those tapes?. A great purchase...great price....and a great looking piece of furniture! btw...in addition to the surprising quality, Hayneedle shipped it promptly with no shipping charges. You can't beat that!
It looked complicated but I would say a child could assemble this. It takes a lot of "screwing" but every hole is exact and precise! It fit together perfectly.... KUDOS SAUDER! Your engineering is amazing!
Exceptional looks and very functional.
The most exceptional video storage unit I have seen. The look of the unit is very accomodating to any decor. Functionally you will not find a better piece of furniture for the money. I have purchased a total of five of these units for my DVD collection.
Very solid, attractive cabinet with lots of storage. Fairly straight forward to assemble. Not sure why they included a lock, though -- takes away from the clean look of the front in my opinion. Didn't notice it when I purchased online.
I was looking for some type of cabinet but wasn't sure what I needed. When I received this, I discovered that this was exactly what I needed! It was better than I could have asked for. There was no issue with assembly but takes a while when you are doing it by yourself.
Overall, the storage cabinet works great and is a great addition to my living space. The assembly was easy by following the directions. It fits the DVD's very well by moving the shelf adjustments. A few problems I have noted: there is a slight gap between the doors and the lock doesn't seem to work properly.
This item was harder to put together only because some holes don't match up and it was difficult to piece together. After getting it together we found that the lock is not very good and it has to locked just so-so to get it to stay locked. And one part a little connecting piece at the top to hold the top together broke (at least wouldn't hold) we did manage with it finally but with difficulty and duct tape. Once put together from top to bottom it starts to gap. Most probably won't notice. So I would not recommend this item.
This item is made of poor material. It came with a scratch on the top. The holes made for the cams were pealing . Thank goodness when you put it together it covered up the damage. The material looks cheep and is so easily damaged. What made me keep the cabnet was that it took me 4 hours to put together , wieghs over 80 pounds (who wants to lug that back to the store) and it holds so many videos. So if you want something to hold a lot of videos that locks, and a spare room to hide it in ( thats what I did ) then this is for you.
Do you have to lock the doors for it to stay shut?
1. If it is put together right it will stay shut with out locking it. I have no problem with mine staying shut.
4. No. The lock is only to keep other people or little ones from getting into it.
6. There is a magnetic catch for each door that keeps the doors shut when not locked.
7. Mine stays closed by itself because it has a magnetic closure. I'd take a look at yours and see if the magnets are in place, and if they are forward enough to actually touch the metal plate on the doors.
8. mine stay closed. There are magnets on doors.
9. You do *not* have to lock the doors to keep them shut. The cabinet has magnets and small metal plates on the doors to hold onto. Personally, I use the lock, but I also leave the key in the lock so as not to lose it.
10. Yes, and this is one of the features I really like. I keep the key in the same place and nearby so it does not get lost. Keeping it locked when not in use prevents others (small children, cats etc.) from messing around with your collection. If not locked the doors will swing open at the slightest touch.
11. No. But, make sure cabinet is level. If she still has this problem try putting two furniture casters under the cabinet. Raising the front of the cabinet 1/4 inch is the easy fix and hardly noticeable.
Does this item have to be anchored to the wall or will it stand alone on carpet.
1. At 80 pounds it will stand alone.
2. It will stand alone on carpet. Mine does, and I have had no problems with tipping over.
4. I have carpet in my room and I think it should be able to stand alone because it is pretty heavy and strong. However, I'm not for sure because I do have my product on the carpet against my wall. I do not see any reason it would have to be attached to the wall because it seems to be self supporting.
5. It stands alone, just about anywhere.
6. It doesnt have to be anchored to the wall, but you do want it sitting right up against the wall. If the doors are full and heavy, then when they open, it could tip back if not against a wall.
7. Stands alone, but in a house with kids, should be anchored.
9. It would take more work to anchor it to the wall. It is free-standing, though the back panel is just that, a cardboard panel, so you'll want to put it up against a wall. Because of that, it may lean out from the wall a bit. I solved that problem by getting a very thin piece of pinewood and sliding it underneath the front of the cabinet.
10. It will stand alone on carpet and does not need to be anchpred.
11. It will stand alone and once full or even half full, will be very sturdy. You will not be able to knock it over, unless a middle linebacker runs into it!
IS THERE STORAGE ON THE DOORS FOR DVD'S ETC.
2. Storage on both doors. Very well organized.
3. Each door holds 60 dvds.
4. There is plenty of storage on the doors for DVD, CDs, VHS/Beta tapes, etc... BUT only standard DVD packages will fit on the door, not the ones with extra boxes around them or the plastic flip-open with the cardboard front and back. Those will hangover the edge lip, unfortunately, and are best reserved for the center portion of the cabinet (i.e. not the doors).
6. Yes there is. Once again, your picture of the unit shows this very plainly.

February 5 2015 // Prince Palu // Columns
We Just Wanna Have Some Fun, Down At The Rock And Roll Club
For the second time this winter Prince Palu has been attacked by a very angry cold virus that seems to want to make a new name for the common cold. Luckily this time his 18-month-old baby decided that he didn't want his beloved Papa to go through the nastiness alone and joined in the fun. So for the better part of the past week, Prince Palu and wee Sammy have sat coughing and snotting on each other, whilst sucking down vitamin C, fruit smoothies, and Tylenol of varying degrees of strength. Fear not though, good people! Neither frozen weather warnings nor runny noses, phlegm-filled lungs, nor fever induced nightmares could prevent this column from coming out. Here is what has come out of the cold medicine haze.
Before we get into what is happening in the next few days, I want to take a moment to acknowledge a man whose passing probably won't get too much press, but who was indeed a legend in the world of radio. Like most people not lucky enough to live in any of the numerous markets where he manned a microphone in a career that spanned four decades, I first heard about Lee Baby Simms when Tom Waits referenced him in the 1986 Jim Jarmusch classic film, Down By Law. After becoming obsessed with that movie, that scene inside the jail cell of the Orleans Parish Prison took on a whole new meaning when I found out that not only was there a real DJ named Lee Baby Simms, but that he was not too happy that Waits' used his name, even threatening legal action. How cool did one have to be for Tom Waits to make him part of his character's back story? Well, I never got the chance to hear Lee Baby Simms, and he always remained a mythical figure. His name would pop up every now and then, and it was always in reference to someone being a visionary artist in the DJ's seat. It always gives me inspiration knowing about DJs who do it right and keep the spirit of pre-corporate radio alive, but since he retired from radio in 2002, just before the YouTubeification of the world, he will forever remain a legend, one whose story will be passed down through the people lucky enough to have heard his unique style. That style Ken Levine described as a "sort of a cross between the Beat generation and Woodstock generation. A hipster/hippie. Somewhat like the Fonz in that by including you in his circle he made you feel cool." I can only hope someone will uncover more recordings of his shows and we can all enjoy the voice that inspired Tom Waits, among many others. R.I.P. Lee Baby.
This evening the weekend gets off to an early start with a 6 à 8 at Le Divan Orange (4234 Saint-Laurent) and the first night of the month-long residency of Oliver Belisle in the on-going Camp series. $5 beers, no cover and a chance to help Divan Orange out with their legal woes.
It is a good thing that there is an early start tonight too, as it seems that tonight is the busiest night of the weekend, at least as far as this column is concerned.
Sticking with Divan Orange, whether you went down for the 6 à 8 or not the fun doesn't stop there. At 9:00pm Ligue Rock opens the fourth season of their rock 'n' roll competition, which will take place in three cities (Montreal, St-Hyacinthe, and Joliette) over the next four months. Tonight's kickoff party will include Prieur & Landry, Shampouing, and Les Dales Hawerchuck. I wish I had more info about this event, but the screaming baby on my lap is telling me to move on. Check the Ligue Rock website for more details.
For all you CBC Radio 2 listeners out there, Metropolis (59 Sainte-Catherine E.) is where you'll want to make your way down to tonight as Canadian indie rock legends, and one of the most important Montreal bands of the 21st century, Stars hit the stage with the Newfoundland septet Hey Rosetta! opening. Why are Stars so important to the Montreal music scene you ask? Well it could be argued that they are indirectly responsible for POP Montreal. You see, it was Stars keyboardist Chris Seligman's brother Dan who founded the festival back in 2002 after learning the ropes of the music industry by working with his brother's band. Sure there is much more to the story, but that is it in a nutshell. It is also how I can justify my previous statement of them being one of the most important Montreal bands of this century. If that doesn't wash with you, then just watch this video clip of them performing "This Is The Last Time" from their latest album, No One Is Lost. Tickets are $32 and the doors open at 6:30pm.
Speaking of important bands to the local music scene, up at Bar 'Le Ritz' PDB (179 Jean-Talon O.), the High Dials bring their blend of indie rock and pop psychedelia back to a Montreal stage with local post-punk darkwave trio Morthouse joining them. While I don't think that The High Dials have ever fully gotten the recognition in this city that they deserve, they have long been a favorite of Little Steven and his Underground Garage radio show. Why not head up to Jean Talon and see why? Tickets are listed as $13 through the Blues Skies Turn Black website, but I'm not sure what they'll be at the door, but I do know that your price of admission will include a copy of The High Dial's new album In The A.M. Wilds on CD.
If what you really need is a heavy dose of debauchery with a side of sleaze, then you are gonna wanna slide into L'Escogriffe (4467 Saint-Denis) tonight and partake in the sex, booze and rock 'n' roll Smörgåsbord of garage rock from Lightbulb Alley, glam-punk-psychedelic from After Party Acid People, and power-pop from Télégraphe Jungle. Ringing up at a measly $5 cover charge for three great local bands at one of Montreal's coziest venues, this is proving to be a hard choice not to take.
Friday night you can double down over at Casa del Popolo (4873 St-Laurent) where on the 'old room' side Heavy Trip kickoff their monthly DJ night series Away From The Numbers with Heavy Trip founder Michael Bardier and Phil Clem (Duchess Says, PyPy, Quatro) sharing the DJ duties for the inaugural event. It all goes down between 5:00 and 9:00 and is free. Then once you have wet your whistle and been taking on a musical journey by those two fine gentlemen, you can pay $10 and head over to the 'showroom' side of Casa where the baritone crooning of Monsieur Leblanc will set the stage for the return of Amanita Bloom following a successful mini-tour of Quebec in December and January, with their folk-noir brand of rock 'n' blues. Bring some extra cash because Amanita Bloom will also be selling some beautiful new t-shirts that you'll want to buy. Trust me, once you see them you'll want one.
Now if you need a little more old timey twang, then you can settle in at Divan Orange and catch a triple bill twangy extravaganza. Ol' Savannah, with their hillbilly mix of blues, folk and bluegrass headline a night in support of their friends Cold Lake Buzzards album release show. Cold Lake Buzzards are another music project from Santosh Lalonde, who seems to be vying for the title of 'The Busiest Man in Showbiz', who describes the sound as "swampy spaghetti western trash blues hybrid". How sweet does that sound? Rounding out this hootenanny will be Ryan McNally, whose passion for acoustic music as taken him across Canada, over to the Nanjing Jazz Music Festival in China and down deep into the swamps of Louisiana. Just a word of warning, if you do decide to go down to Divan Orange tonight, you might want to wear your wellies as this much foot stompin' music is sure to melt the ice all around the building.
Another album launch happening tonight is taking place over at Atomic Cafe (3606 Ontario E.) that'll feed more of the aggro-punk side of your psyche. Pouzza Fest and Asian Man Records present the release of Oreosmith, the debut album from Powernap, a Montreal punk supergroup fronted by ex-The Sainte Catherines front man and Pouzza Fest head honcho, Hugo Mudie. Along for the crunching good time will be Barrasso, featuring former members of Dirty Tricks, Suck la Marde, and Lost Love, whose debut album Sparkle, which was released last year. This line-up will surely put the atomic in Atomic Cafe. The Facebook event also states that there may be more bands added to the bill. Doors are at 8:00 and the $12 admission also gets you a vinyl copy of Oreosmith.
The last option I will offer up for Friday night is the Slut Island Dance Party happening up at Bar Le Ritz PDB. This queer friendly, techno and house music love-in will feature DJ sets from Tobias Rochman and Frankie Teardrop, sandwiched around a live performance from the Kate Bush cover band Kate's Bush. PWYC (with $5 - $10 recommended) and the proceeds going toward future Slut Island events. Tassels are also encouraged.
It doesn't get much better than the double bill happening at Divan Orange on Saturday night with Toronto's Milk Lines and Montreal's Bloodshot Bill & The Hick-Ups. From the minds of Jeff Clarke (Demon's Claws, Hell Shovel) and Emily Frances comes the jangly psychedelic pop and country laced tunes of Milk Lines, who will be releasing their debut album Ceramic on In The Red Records in the spring of 2015. And anyone who has been going to live music in Montreal for the past 15 years or so is more than familiar with the name Bloodshot Bill. The one-man-band rockabilly revivalist will hit the stage with his back-up band The Hick-Ups for a night of greasy rock 'n' roll before heading over to France to play bass with Jon Spencer's Heavy Trash for the remainder of the month. At $10 this is a can't lose proposition.
Over at La Vitrola (4602 St-Laurent) is the homecoming show of sorts for Homeshake, the solo project of former Mac DeMarco guitarist Peter Sagar, after a tour of Japan. The Homeshake sound, that was captured and released last year on In The Shower, has been belovingly described by DeMarco as "jizz-jazz". Also on the bill will be the shoegaze psychedelic pop of Halifax, NS, and Mint Records recording artists, Monomyth, the experimental pop of Brazilian Money, and the weird pop rock 'n' roll blend of The Marlees.
If your are yearning for a different world beat sound on this particular Saturday night, then the Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra have you covered at La Sala Rossa (4848 St-Laurent). With their blend of Afro-Colombian percussion and Eastern European brass, this 15-piece band has been creating instant dance parties everywhere they set up. They will be joined by Enklab Project who will provide visuals and DJ sets. Doors at 9:00. $12 admission.
Another way to get your booty shaking is over at Cabaret Playhouse (5656 Parc) where QueerCorps presents A Face for Radio, a night of drag & dance with host Lady Gaza, performances by Isa Monster and Mini Maul, and DJ sets by Fagface, Cuteface, and Ms Andry. A fundraiser for CKUT, a $5 donation (or more) qualifies you for a chance to win the door prize, four tickets to RuPaul's Drag Race: Battle of the Seasons.
To wind down the weekend why not treat your mind to some eerie and yet beautiful soundscapes, both with and without vocals, being unleashed in the friendly confines of Casa del Popolo? I will be the first to admit that this is not my usual bag, but that is why I feel the need to tell you about it. It is good to try new things and be open minded. Four Montreal bands - Syngja, Year of Glad, Holobody, and Caro Diaro (Maica Armata of Maicamia) - will be creating the sounds to make you forget that you are hours away from another Monday. You can check out the links for each band and have a listen for yourself.
--Prince Palu hosts The Go-Go Radio Magic Show, every Friday night from 6 to 8pm. Tune in. Turn on. Freak OUT! Only on CJLO.

Scroll Launches Aiming to Boost Publisher Revenue and Give Audiences a Better Experience
Thomas Goss |
As reported in Tech Crunch, this week Scroll officially launched after a long period in beta.
For publishers and site owners that want the benefits of mobile apps (higher engagement, loyalty, traffic and revenue), without the typical investment, we built a full service mobile publishing platform. With MobiLoud News you can build native iOS and Android apps from your WordPress blog or news site in just days. Content syncs automatically from your site. Our team takes care of all customization, building, publishing and maintenance of the apps. Get a free a demo to get started.
What is Scroll?
Scroll will offer ad-free access to major publisher sites like Salon, BuzzFeed News, Vox and Business insider for an introductory price of $2.49.
Scroll and User Experience
Scroll has been in development for quite a while offers readers a less cluttered, more private and faster news experience.
Former Chartbeat CEO Tony Haile said that he founded Scroll due to "frustration with the way news sites were becoming dragged down by ads and trackers".
He tried to imagine:
"How would the internet have evolved if it didn't have to rely on ads from the start?What would the economics look like?"
Users will pay $2.49 per month for the first six months after launch, then the price will go up to $4.99 per month. In return, Scroll will give them:
"A web that's twice as fast, with no shadowy trackers, no ads, no pre-rolls."
So, Scroll is an ad blocker? Yes and no. The end user experience is similar to what you'd get with an ad blocker, but there are a few key differences. For a start, users won't run into any of the issues that often come when (partner) sites detect an ad blocker.
It's also designed and optimized for mobile, the key channel for the 2020s. Once you've logged in on the scroll site, you can view all partner sites without ads or trackers. You can also read with the Scroll mobile app.
Scroll built some interesting features that allow a user to start reading a piece on desktop, pick up where they left off on mobile, and even switch to listening to rest through a text-to-audio function.
The speed is also key. Scroll proved that homepages and articles in their network launch markedly faster than their ad bearing equivalents.
Scroll and Publisher Revenue
As well as a better experience, users will also get what Haile called "good karma" from knowing that you are supporting the creators of the content you're reading.
User subscription payments will be distributed to partner sites based on the sites they actually read and engage with.
Rather than all the subscription revenue being pooled into a single pot and shared out, users' money will never go to sites they don't visit, and they'll even get a monthly report showing the sites that they're supporting.
Interestingly, Scroll estimates that the average page view brings in only $0.011 in ad revenue, whereas scroll will bring in $0.016.
Scroll Partners
Scroll have already signed up around 300 partners.
A lot of household names are already on board, like: The Atlantic, The Verge, Slate, SB Nation, Life Hacker, The Onion and many more.
Scroll also have big plans for signing up a broad range of sites, representing diverse topics and viewpoints.
What does this mean for Publishers?
Haile expects Scroll to offer ancillary benefits to publishers beyond just the revenue share.
It seems logical that a less cluttered and faster experience could lead to higher engagement and consumption of articles.
This better experience should lead to deeper loyalty:
"If we look at the world, pretty much any industry, the things that people have tended to pay for in terms of a premium would be anything that either removes pain and frustration from their lives, or improves the user experience in some meaningful way beyond that level. And I'm really interested to see what's possible there"
– Tony Haile
How will Scroll affect subscriptions?
Scroll is focused on readers who are willing to pay for a better news consumption experience, but maybe aren't willing to commit to subscriptions, and certainly aren't willing to subscribe to hundreds of publications to get an ad-free experience on their sites.
There is no reason why Scroll should cannibalize subscription revenues that we can see.
It won't affect paywalls, gated content and community initiatives – and it's entirely plausible that many users will subscribe to one or two of their favourite publications then use Scroll to have a better experience whilst browsing elsewhere.
If all goes to plan, Scroll will represent an additional revenue stream to publishers whilst leaving them free to pursue whatever membership or subscription strategy they are engaged with.
With Scroll, Sites can still make money from the readers who are not (yet) big enough fans to commit to a full blown subscription, so it should be win/win.
The Future of The Internet
Quoted in Nieman Lab, Haile said that him and his team build Scroll to:
"See if we can build a better internet"
It certainly seems that with users seeing less invasive ads and getting what they want faster and with less friction, the internet might start to feel a little more manageable.
Scroll is a unique approach to the problem of a cluttered internet, frustrated users and unreliable ad revenues. It has been designed by somebody who really understands these problems and has the resources to try to tackle them.
It offers users the benefits of ad blockers, but in a way that compensates publishers for their work at the same time.
This is certainly an interesting idea and a company to watch.
Check out these great pieces from Nieman Lab, What's New in Publishing and Axios for more.

I can't get this thought out of my head. With the Mr. Rogers movie doing so well, and with NASCAR's end-of-year celebrations keeping the sport relatively present (if not prominent) in my mind, I see Fred Rogers – only it's actually a NASCAR marketing executive (maybe holding his shoe in his hand) leaning over in the direction of this group of corporate executives, smiling, and asking:
"Won't you be my . . . partner?"
I really am glad that NASCAR has its "Premier Partners" in place for next year, because I guess that means no Daytona suits will have to moonlight in the beach umbrella rental business next year. This is unlike the situation with those "little guys" who are probably out of jobs now that the Cup Series teams will buy commonly produced parts that the little guys used to make for them – anything that helps investors preserve the value of their invested bucks. (If anybody gets mad, they'll just blame it on excessive government regulation.)
I kind of feel bad for Monster, though (although I checked in the convenience store the other day, and the brand still has plenty of shelf space, so things must be going OK). Talk about the forgotten stepchild.
My impression has been that NASCAR jumped at Monster as the edgy new-era company that could transform stock car racing into something as compelling as the X-Games. Unfortunately, that was not an idea that will go down in the annals as one of NASCAR's finest. The "synergy" just wasn't there. NASCAR marketing gurus may longingly have looked at their sport through a lens that saw it shining in an internet café, but in reality, it's still more tied to the country store. Also, while its audience may love smartphones, we have no idea what the newest social media outlets the grandchildren use really do.
I think Monster figured out the problem when it had to put more clothes on its spokesmodels than they wear elsewhere.
Quick – which picture has the NASCAR driver in it?
Anyway, now we're back to the backing of "Boomer" staples: beer, soda, car insurance and cable TV. So if you don't head down to the end of the cooler where they sell flavors like Khaos and Baller's Blend, you no longer have to feel left out.
FYI, Monster sells (or sold – flavors change constantly) a Lewis Hamilton flavor, but they never named one for Kyle Busch. That alone should tell you the company figured out a long time back that the NASCAR deal wasn't a marriage made in heaven.
So let's take a look at a "NASCAR's future" checklist:
n Sponsorship – Looks like this one's checked off, although the NASCAR announcement didn't mention how long a commitment each "partner" has. So far, history has gone from a really long sponsorship (Winston) to a fairly long one (Nextel/Sprint) to a short one (Monster). At the least, it helps if a sponsor/partner is around long enough for fans to get used to the name association.
n Car – The Next Gen car is coming, and we're told it'll look more like a stock car (photos of the Toyota Supra to the contrary), but the similarities will be strictly cosmetic; under the non-metal surface, it will be more like Lewis Hamilton's ride than my Elantra. Still, we're told they're listening.
n Schedule – Street races? More road courses and/or short tracks? More Eldora? Less who? This one's really a mystery, but we presume something is actually going to happen, which means a lot of us will complain about it.
n Rules – No sign of any acknowledgement that this is a problem being addressed. There are simply way too many rules, which means enforcement is a nightmare that nobody understands or likes. For the fans, this is a huge, unaddressed problem.
My "bottom line" for that list is that, while there are no new bombs waiting to go off, there's no lightning strike that will create an "OMG, they did it!" upswing of momentum.
So, Mr. Genius, what would you do?
Here are what I see as some opportunities (most of which you've heard from this space previously):
n The Xfinity Series is dying of a lack of identify, so take it and use it for the more radical new stuff: SUVs, dirt tracks, mixed-surfaces, companion events to Cup races that run at nearby-but-different locations, you-name-it. The Gander Trucks would be a second platform for experimentation
Hey, why not?
n A new vehicle platform with drastically lower costs could be used to run lower-budget races that would cost competitors and fans less, attract interest from new fans and teams, and cut into the "same-old, same-old" feeling of NASCAR today.
n Get some form of competition going that wouldn't require a multi-year, multi-gazillion dollar investment by new manufacturers for them to get their feet wet in the sport.
One last suggestion: STOP talking to the general public like we're all in a marketing seminar. The NASCAR announcement about the "premier partners" had more "huh?" words and phrases in it than a workshop for IT people who work with micro-brain-surgery. Check this out:
"In addition to the establishment of the Premier Partner positions, this significant shift will provide many strategic benefits to the industry, including greater activation opportunities for brands across the sport. NASCAR's inaugural grouping of Premier Partners will play a key role in consumer marketing and fan development initiatives moving forward."
Now, the English translation of that gibberish goes something like this: "In return for all their money, we're going to give our partners more chances to stick their goods and services under your noses than you can shake a stick at, and we'll let them come up with new ways to do that, too."
Why can't we just say that?
Here's another gem:
"Additionally, all four partners will be prominently featured in multiple platforms across the sport, including integrations in broadcast, NASCAR digital and social channels, event entitlements, in-market promotions and at-track activations."
When I read that, I couldn't help but think about David Pearson, one of the smartest and best competitors ever to put on a helmet, and I imagined coming up to him before a race and asking: "Hey, David, got any on-track activations scheduled this weekend?"
The next sound would be me coughing after Pearson took a big drag and then blew cigarette smoke in my face. He spoke in plain English.
Frank's Loose Lug Nuts
I used to love to see the USAC Silver Crown cars run at Richmond. The drivers had to really manhandle these hopelessly outdated racers – running on rock-hard tires – and you never saw a steering wheel being held steady; they were being sawed on constantly. Silver Crowns run on asphalt and dirt, and one reason may be that they handle pretty much the same on both surfaces.
Between the aerodynamics and the Goodyears, NASCAR vehicles are at the other end of the handling spectrum, and while that speaks volumes for Goodyear's tire-making expertise, does it really make for better racing?
For that matter, will it really interest the next generation of fans?
I've been to a couple of road courses in recent years, and both featured "drifting" on their schedules. I'm told it's the fastest-growing segment of motorsports, and people pay both to do it and to watch it.
Simply put, drifting is racing on a road course (or occasionally just a pad) without ever having full traction. It's also popular in video gaming. Here's an article about it that features both a video game and a movie, as well as photos of actual drifting competitions.
https://www.topspeed.com/racing/drifting/what-is-drifting-ar46027.html
Besides illustrating why dirt track racing is popular, this seems to indicate that future fans won't be impressed by how well Goodyears keep your car FROM drifting. I think they also show that a less advanced car with much less advanced tires can be more exciting to watch. Hear that, NASCAR?
I also think this means that if we could get a topnotch genetics scientist to take some Tiny Lund DNA and build us a new Tiny, we could have the superstar of the future – and he could catch fish, too.
Hard to believe, but I couldn't find a decent shot of Tiny Lund broadsliding, so here's one of Pearson, who also was a master.

Remember at last year's CES when Lenovo confusingly tried to tell the world that it was phasing out the Motorola name as it moved towards "Moto by Lenovo" branded phones? Yeah, well, Lenovo (and Motorola) has decided that that was probably a mistake and is now willing to re-embrace Motorola as a brand.
According to a story by CNET, Motorola chairman and president Aymar de Lencquesaing said during a conversation that his company now has "clarity on how we present ourselves." That means we should get the Motorola batwing back in action, a heavy push of the Moto Z brand with Moto Mods, and expanded distribution to carriers outside of Verizon.
Beyond that, CNET is reporting that Lenovo will eventually bring Motorola phones to almost all regions they currently sell phones, though it could take a while. Obviously, the US and Brazil are big Motorola markets already, but they see other places, like in Russia and China where Lenovo is big, that could prove to be beneficial.
De Lencquesaing also mentioned some interesting bits about the Moto Z and how it has seen much more success as it has aged than most phones. As you probably imagined, most phones sell well right out of the gate and then fizzle as they get older. But according to de Lencquesaing, the Moto Z has picked up more sales, likely because of the big marketing spend they are going through to re-brand themselves, but also because of the Moto Mods that people have apparently fallen all over. That's big news for Motorola, especially as we get ready for a new Moto Z this year, along with a whole bunch of new Moto Mods.
On a related note, he also talked about Motorola's lack of a 3rd gen Moto 360 or new smartwatch. According to the Motorola exec, his company doesn't simply want to be "in the business doing a product for the sake of doing a product," and that he sees too few practical uses in smartwatches for them to build another one. I can't say I disagree there, especially knowing that the majority of our readers were fans of the Moto 360, yet he all-but-admitted theirs never sold well.
To recap, Motorola is back and that whole "Moto by Lenovo" stuff is likely on the way out. If I'm understanding de Lencquesaing correctly, we should all prepare for a big Motorola push back onto your favorite carriers this year. That's an exciting thought for fans of this iconic brand.

Parker Center Landscape
Title Parker Center Landscape
Photographer Grogan, Brian.
Collection ID Los Angeles County Building Survey Collection
Location/Accession GPC_b95_f4_i11
Historical Data Located at 150 N. Los Angeles Street, the Police Administration Building served as the headquarters for the Los Angeles Police Dept. from 1955 to 2009. Designed by Welton Becket in association with J. E. Stanton and landscape architect Ralph D. Cornell, the 7-story, Modernist structure includes a horizontal slab with bands of windows on the long east and west sides, and glazed terra cotta panels on the short north and south sides. Horizontal 2-story wings extend out into the surrounding parking lots, defining an entrance plaza and a visual base for the building. The design of the entrance plaza and gardens was part of the Modern landscape architecture trend to unite indoor and outdoor space. After the sudden death of Police Chief William H. Parker on July 16, 1966, the building was renamed Parker Center.; In 2009, construction of the new LAPD Metropolitan Detention Center was completed replacing the older and outdated jail facility at Parker Center. Much of the landscaping that was part of the original design for Parker Center was removed to make room for the new 172,000 sq. ft. metro jail.
Description View of the jail at Parker Center looking south. The jail building is just behind a screen wall that is lined with hedges.

Back in the mid noughties, Amy Winehouse was more than just a name. Through a meteoric rise to fame, followed by a descent into drugs, she became the punchline to your jokes. A shorthand description of someone off their face. A tabloid's favourite front page. Much like her most defining song 'Rehab', Amy is equal parts defiant and heartbreaking. We now can look back and lament about the negatives, the what-ifs, the counterfactual realities – yet all these thoughts fall into bitter irrelevance. This is the film Amy Winehouse deserved; it's just a shame she's not around to see it.
There is something about Amy Winehouse, even now, that draws people in. From the morbid fascination spun by the press to the sheer magnetism of her personality, it seems we cannot help but watch her. Asif Kapadia knows this. Far from playing into the myth, he asks us to unravel it. Amy is a piece of exquisite construction, opening on home video footage that slowly melts away as bombastic, haunting paparazzi shots take hold. On top of this, we hear voiceovers from Amy's close friends and family; her first manager, her parents, her childhood friends. These voices underscore and often subvert what we're seeing onscreen. We see Amy and husband Blake Fielder-Civil enter a rehabilitation clinic, and we see them leave, all from the just-far-enough-away perspective of a paparazzi camera. It could so easily be 'the Amy Winehouse story' all over again.
Yet this time, we become involved in the story. We hear it uncensored by the people who were there, and who knew. We hear the truth behind that song and behind the news stories, and it becomes all the more real. This is not a tale of modern woe for a celebrity, but a tragic tale of a woman lost in this world.
The tragedy stems not from simply highlighting Winehouse's weaknesses. The true heartbreak that Kapadia exposes is why the facts are the way they are. Through skin-crawling footage of drug dens and clinics, we hear about how it was exactly footage like this that drove her to need help at all.
Kapadia's greatest achievement throughout Amy is to never nail down who was to blame for all this. Through his film, it's possible to rediscover the human behind the name. From the bottom, to the top, and back, we follow Amy's career with her. Through an incredible journey that few could truly survive, Winehouse becomes a fully-realised individual. A funny, blunt, soft, gifted and flawed talent.
That gift – so often taken for granted during her lifetime – is gorgeously celebrated by Kapadia. For despite the plethora of footage, the music was the most honest expression Winehouse offered the world. With a soundtrack consisting of unreleased songs, as well as the lyrics appearing onscreen in Winehouse's handwriting, Kapadia highlights her mastery. She often used to jab at Top 40 artists who sang songs of nonsense jubilation, yet as the words creep on screen – you get her. As these lyrics of incredible quality appear at the key moments of her life, the shiver is unbelievable. You understand who they're for, what they're about, and just what makes the lyrics so beautiful. Those songs will never sound the same again.
Although Amy's father Mitch has spoken out against the negative light shed upon him, he recognises the film's key achievement: showcasing Amy Winehouse as who she was. That's a pretty high compliment, all things considered.
Amy is more than a film about a singer. It's more than a film about addiction, or love, or music, or how sad it was that a talent like hers was lost so young. Asif Kapadia told The Guardian: "it's not just about her anymore, it's about us." Watching the slow change from home videos, lovingly shot for a laugh by friends and family, to the uproar from camera-wielding strangers every time she left the house, you can't help but feel culpable – for every joke at her expense you snickered at, every story about her you read.
You know what the outcome of this story is; you lived through the news, you saw it on TV. But it still flips your stomach when you realise that she's dead; even makes it more hard-hitting. We see this moment in the context of her actual life, not the version of her life in the press. That's what the film does best. It gives Amy back her own story.

Details of the incident in which four men were detained remain unclear.
Four US military personnel who were being held by the Libyan government have been released.
The details of the incident and the reasons for the detentions on Saturday are as yet unknown.
Photographs of two American passports and embassy identificaiton cards were circulated on Twitter, purportedly in relation to the detentions.
"We can confirm that four US military personnel are currently being held in Libyan government custody," said Jen Psaki, State Department spokesperson, before the release.
"We are seeking to further ascertain the facts and ensure their release. We are in touch with Libyan officials on this issue."

VAN ALSTYNE —The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has addressed recent comments from members of the public regarding a power plant proposed by Navasota Energy that would be located near Van Alstyne. This is a step in the process toward the company receiving an air permit for the plant.
The Van Alstyne Energy Center would be a 543-megawatt, simple-cycle gas-fired electric-generating facility that would support peak energy demands in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas' North Zone, according to the project website. The facility, which would open in spring 2017, would be a "peak-energy plant;" meaning that it would operate only during peak electric demand periods.
The TCEQ held a public meeting in January in which residents could submit their comments and ask questions about the project.
In an email, Navasota Energy President Dan Hudson said he expects the plant to receive an air permit.
"Navasota looks forward to receiving the air quality permit and building the Van Alstyne Energy Center which will provide energy and jobs for Texans while protecting public health and the environment," Hudson said.
The document also states that TCEQ made three changes to Navasota Energy's draft permit in response to the public comments. First, the TCEQ changed a condition in the draft to only allow for 2,500 hours of operation per rolling 12-month period for each turbine regardless of how many are installed.
The TCEQ also added another condition that would require the plant to sample for particulate matter emissions from the turbines. The last change mandates that Navasota Energy maintain a copy of the permit and records of specific information and data.
As a result of these changes to the draft permit, the time period for members of the public to request a contested case hearing has been extended to May 13, said TCEQ Spokeswoman Andrea Morrow.
Next in the application process, a TCEQ committee will investigate all requests for a contested case hearing and determine whether those who made requests were affected parties, Morrow said. The committee may choose to hold a contested case hearing, which would lengthen the process.
Grayson County officials, like the Commissioners, have been in favor of the plant in part because of the tax money it would generate for the Van Alstyne Independent School District. A group of citizens in the affected areas of Grayson and Collin counties, however, have made their opposition to the plant known.

What & Who is that?
Tenant had a lease, lease expired...what now?
What did the original lease say about renewal?
Did the landlord accept rent after the lease expired?
If the lease says "renew for a like term" then the lease automatically renews for a year; if the lease says "renews on a month to month basis" then the lease is in force on a month-to-month; if the lease says nothing about renewal, but the tenant continues to say there...then it is a defacto renewal on a month to month basis.

Apple Reportedly Shutting Down iCloud Social Network.

Apple is shutting down the iCloud social network after quietly purchasing the iCloud.net domain. This has led to speculations of the Cupertino giant possibly planning to launch its own social networking app whilst also being hard at work in developing its 10th anniversary iPhone, which is expected to launch with the iPhone 8 moniker.
Just this Wednesday, (https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/21/apple-quietly-bought-icloud-net-domain-shuts-down-eponymous-social-network/) TechCrunch learned of Apple's very subtle move of acquiring the iCloud.net domain from a small-time Asian social network. The domain is possibly the last one related to Apple's products which was previously not in the company's possession, so this could be an "It's about time" move on the Cupertino giant's end.
Interestingly, the Tim Cook-helmed company could have bigger plans for this purchase since it was already found out that the social network will shut down by the end of February. In addition, all data present in the social networking platform will be destroyed the month after. The (http://tonglei.org/iCloud/icloud.html) iCloud.net owner already informed the patrons of its site that it is retiring after doing its mission of providing a venue for people to share their activities and content like blogs, pictures, music and videos with each other.
A tip to (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/21/apple-purchases-icloud-net-domain/) MacRumors claims Apple purchased iCloud.net for $1.5 million, but there is no means to verify this yet. The owner of the social network has already declined to comment or give details on the purchase. But looking back on Apple's track record of domain name purchases, the company has definitely been generous with its deals. In 2011, it bought the iCloud.com domain name from Swedish company Xcerion for $5.2 million. As of late, it already owns more than 100 iCloud domains.
Apple's latest purchase has now revived rumors of it possibly developing and launching a social networking app that would rival Instagram and Snapchat. The tech giant will unlikely use "iCloud" for the name of this app, so perhaps Apple was only preventing the confusion when it introduces its own social networking service while the iCloud.net social network is still up.

Kia rightly points out that the compact sedan market is – for the time being, at least – a highly competitive one. Nearly every U.S.-market manufacturer pitches its offering against its rivals. To shift units in this segment, you have to look the part to accommodate and entice buyers. The 2019 Kia Forte gest a fresh look inside and out for this new generation, taking styling cues from the recently-launched Stinger. The company bestowed its latest compact sedan with bolder, more dynamic interior styling, losing some of the rounded design of the previous generation.
This car is longer and lower than the outgoing Forte, which helps give it a sportier stance. Overall length has increased by 3.2 inches to 182.7 inches in total. It's also 70.8 inches wide, 0.7 inches wider than before. To accommodate more headroom, however, the new Forte is 0.4 inches taller than the old model, at 56.7 inches. Kia has given their signature Tiger Nose grille an upright treatment in the new car, and its longer hood coupled with a short rear deck lend it a fastback-like shape.
The 2019 Kia Forte, at launch, will come in three trim levels: LX, S, and EX. No real surprises there. However, a pleasant surprise comes in the form of a standard 8-inch touchscreen across the range. Wireless charging will also be an option on Forte models, with support for compatible Android devices as well as the latest generation Apple iPhones. You can also spec a 320-watt Harman Kardon sound system to get the best audio experience.
The technology train doesn't stop there, either. Kia's including its suite of driver assistance tech in the third-generation Forte, as well. The Forte will come available with Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Smart Cruise Control.
You can still get a manual!
Cradled under the 2019 Kia Forte's hood is a new generation of the company's 2.0-liter Nu four-cylinder engine. While the 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft torque output is perfectly adequate, efficiency was the name of the game here. To that end, Kia fitted the new Forte with what it's calling an "IVT", or an "Intelligent" Variable Transmission. Thanks to Kia's engineering team, this unit is supposed to dial out the worst trait of an ordinary CVT by fitting a sound-insulating cover to stave off the dreaded "drone". They've also incorporated adaptive shift logic with a chain-type belt to counteract the rubber-banding effect that hamstrings CVTs.
All that engineering comes together to achieve an estimated 35 MPG, or a 3 MPG improvement over the outgoing Forte. Even better, if you're not sold on the IVT, you don't have to have it. You can fit your Forte with a six-speed manual gearbox.
The 2019 Kia Forte will come to dealerships later this year. Pricing information isn't available at the moment, nor are official EPA figures. We expect Kia to announce both closer to the car's arrival.

In Visionary Move, Bloc asks Canada to recognize Palestine
Montreal, May 29, 2017 — Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) congratulates the Bloc Québécois' visionary proposal calling Canada to recognize an independent Palestine. In a press conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa this morning, the Bloc announced a motion inviting the House of Commons to express support for Palestine as an independent state. "136 of 193 nations already recognize Palestine as an independent state," stated Thomas Woodley, President of CJPME, "So it is only natural for Canada to support international law and join the international consensus in support of Palestinian self-determination."
In a joint press conference, Martine Ouellet, leader of the Bloc Québécois and Mario Beaulieu, former leader and MP for Pointe-de-L'Île, provided a compelling case for the need to recognize Palestine. They first pointed out how international law guarantees the right to self-determination of all peoples. They also listed several UN resolutions on the mid-east conflict which provide the basis for a Palestinian state based on the "Green Line," the de facto border based on the 1949 Armistice agreement. They also cited passages from Canada's official position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, whereby Canada theoretically supports an independent, viable Palestinian state, in peace with its Israeli neighbour.
"This visionary move by the Bloc is encouraging to many Canadians and Quebecers who have tired of international dithering on the rights of Palestinians," asserted Woodley. "Palestinian-Canadians, Jewish-Canadians, and other progressives of all backgrounds see this as a key step to the resolution of this decades-long conflict." CJPME and other groups in Canada – including some Jewish-Canadian groups – have long called for the recognition of Palestine. All major federal political parties theoretically support a "negotiated two-state solution" for peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. However, the Bloc is the first federal party to call for the independent recognition of Palestine.
The Bloc's motion in support of Palestine coincides with the 50th anniversary of Israel's military occupation and colonization of the PalestinianTerritories. Israel's ongoing expansion of illegal colonies in the West Bank is a symbol of its failure to honour the two-state solution, as such activities preclude the possibility of a viable independent state. CJPME strongly encourages Canada's other federal parties to join the Bloc's initiative in supporting Palestinian human rights.
