Sharing RSF's Press Release
Reporters sans frontières (Reporters Without Borders) sent an open letter yesterday to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani hailing a bill introduced by his government in the national
assembly to repeal repressive amendments to a 2002 broadcast media law that were decreed by President Pervez Musharraf on 3 November 2007. "This is a victory for the editorial freedom of the TV and radio stations that were the target of many sanctions and attacks by the previous government," the organisation wrote. Among the draconian amendments to the PEMRA 2002 broadcast media law that would be repealed by the new bill, introduced by information minister Sherry Rehman on 11 April, is a provision for sentences of up to three years in prison for journalists who defame or make fun of the president. Reminding the new prime minister that he holds a Master's degree in Journalism and that his government has voiced support for press freedom, the letter proposes the following 10-point plan for achieving a lasting improvement in the situation of press freedom.
1. Repeal the RPPO 2002 ordinances restricting the editorial freedom of the print media which were also adopted last November. 2. Reform the operational methods of the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), which is currently run by former police officers. The PEMRA must grant terrestrial broadcast licences to independent TV stations, guarantee the editorial independence of TV and radio stations and stop harassing cable TV operators. 3. Release imprisoned journalists Rehmat Shah Afridi, the former editor of the Frontier Post newspaper, and Munir Mengal, one of the initiators of the Baloch Voice TV station. Two other journalists from Balochistan are missing and the reasons for their abduction are unknown. It is important to locate them and ensure that their rights as citizens are respected. 4. Introduce training for the police, army and the intelligence agencies (including the ISI) on the importance of the work of the media, in order to avoid further violence against journalists, especially during demonstrations. At least 30 journalists were seriously injured in 2007 and more that 120 were arrested. 5. Award financial compensation to journalists who have been arbitrarily detained, beaten or otherwise harassed by the security forces and to the families of those who were killed in 2007 and early 2008. 6. Provide for the protection of news media that are threatened by terrorist groups. 7. Withdraw all the unjustified complaints and lawsuits brought by the police and government against dozens of journalists and free speech activists in recent years. 8. Combat impunity by creating a Task Force to investigate the murders of journalists that have taken place in recent years. Six journalists were killed in 2007 without any of these murders being solved. Pakistan has become the most dangerous country for journalists in Asia. 9. Release the report of the investigation into the kidnapping and murder of Tribal Areas journalist Hayatullah Khan in 2006. 10. Turn state-owned PTV into an independent public television service. Monitoring of PTV's broadcasts by Reporters Without Borders during the elections showed a clear bias in favour of the ruling party.
"Both the repressive policies of the previous governments and terrorist actions have resulted in a very disturbing deterioration in the situation of press freedom," the letter says. "Pakistan was ranked 152nd out of 169 countries in the 2007 world press freedom index compiled by Reporters Without Borders." The letter concludes: "We are aware that the task you face is enormous, but we hope that your convictions will lead you to make it a priority to strengthen press freedom. Our organisation also hopes that you will give your personal attention to these matters and that you will encourage your government to consolidate a climate in which journalists can work freely and without fear."
(By the way, fellow bloggers, the WPF Index headline is: Bloggers now threatened as much as journalists in traditional media.)

A great leap forward
When my daughter, Ragni, screened her very first short film (Bindiya Chamkay Gee) - during one of T2F's Cinema for Change sessions - the star of the documentary was also the star of the evening, answering questions and countering comments (some rather accusatory) with a confidence that many had not expected. But then they had never met a Hij∂a like Bindiya! Among the post-event post-Q&A discussions that followed within small groups (and the place was buzzing) there was one recurring thought: Given the scale, number, and variety of problems developing countries face, it was a wild fantasy for Bindiya or her supporters to imagine that the difficulties encountered by such a small subset of the population would even be on the radar of the governments of any of the countries in the majority world (to use Shahidul Alam's term of choice). Some felt that the vote-bank was not large enough for any politician to try and woo. Others, that any decent politician (yes, it is possible, though admittedly rare) who truly wished to support such a cause would be mocked so much that he would lose his general credibility.
It was a joy, then, to see this news item from our 'neighbouring country' (a euphemism that our state media uses for India, lest the invocation of the actual name result in that evil genie materialising and devouring us).
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST and forced to live in secluded communities, India's hijras have always had to fight for basic entitlements. Two weeks ago, however, a major victory was achieved when Tamil Nadu added a third gender to ration cards. Hijras may now enter a 'T' (for transgender) in place of a 'M' or 'F' on ration cards. The move makes Tamil Nadu the first Indian state to officially recognise its hijra citizens.
Incidentally, the article is by Morgan Harrington, who was at Hampshire College with Ragni. Read the whole story

Zeeshan Sahil - Lonely no more!
An Evening with Zeeshan Sahil was the event that
launched T2F. Only last week he'd called to say
that he'd be glad to do another reading
there ... and I began thinking of an
event for T2F's first birthday
that would bring him and
other Urdu poets
Asif Farrukhi's call
shattered me completely.
Zeeshan's voice had suddenly been stilled!
He will be missed by everyone
who came into contact with him or
knew him through his verses and books.
Most of all, he will be missed by his love: Karachi.
Only a few days ago,
Fatima Bhutto,
wrote this.
Zeeshan Sahil, an Urdu poet once wrote of our city, our home, "It is a lie that in Karachi, after the rain, the sprouting grass doesn't have blades deep green and soft. Or that the trees do not give shade without the help of clouds … With us in Karachi live birds who fly from trees through the sound of bullets and bombs; perch on walls; always they gather somewhere to pray. Our books don't wait inside cupboards for termites. Now our hearts swim these seas where once our eyes searched for golden flowers and our hands tear down the walls that once buried us alive". This, like the calling of Sahil's birds, is a prayer for us and for our city, our home. Let us await the day that our hands tear down those walls; it won't be long.

BIMCO publishes EEXI Transition Clause ahead of IMO efficiency regulation
New regulation from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which will require existing ships to reduce carbon emissions, is due to enter into force in just under one year. As compliance will benefit to a large extent from co-operation between shipowners and charterers, BIMCO has developed a new clause to address the changes.
BIMCO launches new contract for employment of security escort vessels
BIMCO's Documentary Committee has approved a new standard contract for security escort vessels (SEVs). The standard is a balanced contractual framework for SEVs that accompany merchant ships in high threat areas such as the Gulf of Guinea which has recently seen a rise in piracy activity as the dry season has begun.
BIMCO calls for continued naval support in Gulf of Guinea after piracy incident
Following the incident in the Gulf of Guinea on 24 November involving the Danish frigate Esbern Snare and a suspected pirate vessel, BIMCO calls on all naval forces in the area to further increase the pressure on piracy groups and hopes a continued naval presence will act as a deterrent.

Gulf of Guinea Declaration on Suppression of Piracy gains support in Asia
Support for eradicating piracy in the Gulf of Guinea is gaining strength both in Asia and world-wide. Organisations including Japan's NYK Line and the Asian Shipowners' Association are among the latest to join in the call for action.
BIMCO submits proposal to IMO to extend BWM experience-building phase
BIMCO has submitted a proposal to the upcoming Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) 77 with the aim to extend the experience-building phase (EBP) associated with the International convention for the control and management of Ships' ballast water and sediments, 2004 (BWM Convention). The extension is deemed necessary due to slow progress of the data collection phase.
BIMCO expands its Asian presence
Deputy Secretary General, Søren Larsen, is expected to relocate to Singapore in the first quarter of 2022 to facilitate BIMCO's ambition to strengthen support to members and the wider maritime community in the region.
BIMCO calls on shipowners to provide information on biofouling management
BIMCO is launching a new survey with the aim of gathering information from shipowners about the effectiveness of their anti-fouling systems (AFS). The information gathered will help BIMCO provide factual information to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) about biofouling management in practice.
Change in piracy threats in Indian Ocean prompts re-think of High Risk Area
A continued downward trend in Somali piracy has prompted leading shipping organisations to reduce the geographic boundaries of the 'High Risk Area' (HRA) for piracy in the Indian Ocean, which will apply from 1 September 2021.

New BIMCO/ICS Seafarer Workforce Report warns of serious potential officer shortage
Launched today, the new Seafarer Workforce Report from BIMCO and the International Chamber of Shipping warns that the industry must significantly increase training and recruitment levels if it is to avoid a serious shortage in the total supply of officers by 2026. Given the growing demand for STCW certified officers, the Report predicts that there will be a need for an additional 89,510 officers by 2026 to operate the world merchant fleet. The report estimates that 1.89 million seafarers currently serve the world merchant fleet, operating over 74,000 vessels around the globe.

Workpoints: Timesheets? Meh. Coffee? Yeah!
Let's be honest - there are some tasks at work that are just, well, meh.
One of the biggest offenders has to be filling in timesheets. We get it - they're super important for many businesses to run, from consulting to advertising. But even the most motivated team member sometimes slips up, and that's where all round frustration sets in.
So what's the usual answer? That's right, constant follow up emails and nagging, creating more 'aaarrrgggg' in your employee's lives! But with Workpoints, you can try something different!
Step 1: Using Workpoints you can create a new activity called, for example, "Timesheet on Time". Your employees will achieve this activity if their timesheets for the week are completed by Friday at 16:00.
Step 2: Next, you'll need to set specific rules for the activity: How many times can an employee achieve this activity per week? You'll also need to limit who can award the activity, can only administrators of your programme award this activity or Team Leaders too?
Step 3: Then the most important part, you'll need to allocate some points to the activity! This part is up to you and, of course, your budget. It doesn't have to be extravagant, how about just a few points each week that accumulate towards a Vida e Caffé voucher?!
Step 4: Lastly, you will need to hit save, which makes the activity available for all to achieve. At the end of each week all you need to do is upload a list of people who have completed their timesheets (most systems allow an Excel/ CSV export, which makes things super simple).
Its that easy in 4 easy steps, the rest is up to us. Workpoints will automatically send a Thank You email to the employee for getting things done as well as announce it on the company timeline to let others know what a great job they're doing.
Another small way to turn the 'meh' into 'yeah' with Workpoints! Want to give it a go? Head over to www.workpoints.co.za for a free trial.

The company is one of the first global fintechs to achieve licenses in all 50 states
New York, 11 June 2018 - Leading digital money transfer service WorldRemit today announced it has received licenses in all 50 states - enabling customers across the country to use its fast, convenient service.
The company - which specializes in immigrant money transfers, received its first license from Iowa in August 2014 and its 50th from Louisiana in May 2018. The company is one of the first global fintechs to be licensed across all 50 States.
The US has more than 40 million immigrants, and the latest data from the World Bank shows that official remittances sent from the US has increased to $66 billion. The US is WorldRemit's fastest growing market with transactions growing more than 160% in the past year. The country is set to become the company's largest send market by the end of 2018 and will account for 40% of global revenue over the next few years.
Ismail Ahmed, founder and CEO of WorldRemit comments: " We're pleased that our low-cost, convenient service is now offered in every state, giving more customers access to our highly-rated service. The strong growth of our US business demonstrates consumers' appetite for our simple-to-use service which saves them time and money. "
The company is also celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month in the US, with a countrywide consumer campaign, highlighting the contribution of immigrants to American society. The campaign has been supported by names such as Joshua Kissi, founder of diverse stock imagery site, Tonl.co and Miriam Morales from Orange is the New Black with many more being unveiled throughout June.
Customers can by participate by sharing the hashtag #WhyWeWork and linking to the campaign site: www.worldremit.com/en/whywework.
WorldRemit handles a growing share of the global $600 billion migrant money transfer market. Its US headquarters are in Denver, Colorado.

The Consequences 10cc podcast
https://feed.podbean.com/consequences/feed.xml
Two men battle against the elements to explain, examine, enjoy, and bring Lol Creme and Kevin Godley's masterpiece 'Consequences' and the brilliant '10cc Universe' to the attention of a hostile world.
Consequences 10cc podcast 31 - Bargains Unlimited: Graham Gouldman in the 1960s pt.1
Paul and Sean give Graham Gouldman's prolific songwriting of the 1960s our trademark 'forensic' going-over in these next two episodes.
We look in detail at many of Graham's most famous and successful songs, including his big hits for Herman's Hermits, the Hollies and the Yardbirds. We also criticise and admire many of the near-misses and simply forgotten gems in his huge songwriting canon, with his own recordings with the Whirlwinds and Mockingbirds, and songs covered by Wayne Fontana, Cher, Friday Brown and Toni Basil, Dave Berry and many others. We've dug deep to bring you some songs that only exist as acetate demos!
Paul's guitar makes its pod debut, as he takes us through some of Graham's wonderful chord progressions, and even examines a possible influence from Jewish religious music.
Next week, we focus our attention on Graham's brilliant debut album, 'The Graham Gouldman Thing', and touch on the massive lyrical influence of his father Hymie.

My October 2013 Photo of the Month is Reclaimed, a photograph made at the historic Buckman Springs Bottling Plant off Old Highway 80 in San Diego County.
My photography project on Old Highway 80 continues with an image I just made before sunrise at the Buckman Springs Bottling Plant. This abandoned building was a soda water plant by Otis Buckman before he went out of business. It appears that the spring near Cottonwood Creek where he obtained the alkaline water is now dry.
This building has been a prominent abandoned building along Old Highway 80. While ostensibly private property, access is easy and just off the road. The building has been left to the elements, just as Otis Buckman's home to the North (and his grave to the South which reportedly was accidentally dug up during the building of Interstate 8).
While Highway 80 was a West-East highway, this section is unique in that it runs almost directly South. Because of that, it is tough to get a direct angle for sunrise, and Buckman Mountain on the other side prevents a good sunset. I split the difference, photographed to the South, and caught some color during early twilight.
Graffiti is not ideal, especially where vandalism can destroy the historic value of a place. However, it appears this building remnant has been intentionally left to be recovered by nature. As a result, you can come here any time and the photo is a little different. New things get painted, new stickers are applied, and more of the building falls to the effects of time and gravity. Otis Buckman's business wasn't successful, and while historic, I don't see a California Historic Marker coming here anytime soon.
As always, thank you for viewing, and I hope you enjoy the image.

The most recent example concerns the JCPOA, which seems to confirm a fairly evident trend over the last two years. Washington is starting to think first and foremost about America, focusing more on domestic matters rather than worrying about maintaining the liberal world order and sustaining the global status quo. Trump seems not to operate according to any particular logic or strategy -- here renewing sanctions on Russia, there imposing trade tariffs on China, now breaking the agreement on the JCPOA, then bombing Syria, or even seeking an unprecedented rapprochement with North Korea. It is useless to search for any logical train of thought in all this, even less a grand strategy explaining Washington's ultimate objectives. Policymakers in the US capital act on the basis of very short-term objective, namely: seeking to please Netanyahu and the moneybags that is MBS; punishing Russia; waving the specter of a trade war; asking allies to pay more for defense (NATO); or preventing European companies from working with important partners in Iran and even Russia (Nord Stream 2).
Once again, these policy-makers delude themselves into thinking that Trump's moves -- placing sanctions on Russia, a reanimated and bellicose presence and attitude in the Middle East, and the breaking up of the JCPOA – are a great opportunity to achieve some strategic objectives that have been lost over the last few years.
The policy-makers belonging to such think-tanks as the Brookings Institute or the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) are more than convinced that strong pressure placed on Iran will arrest the expansion of the Shia Crescent over the Middle East and Iran's general influence over the region (from Tehran to Beirut via Baghdad and Damascus). The sanctions on Russia and Iran serve, in their mind, to block European energy independence that would otherwise be achieved through cooperating with both countries. The rediscovered bellicosity in the region tends to counter the Russian presence, even if only psychologically, and reaffirms Washington's willingness to remain committed to the region and defend its interests there (the Saudi dictatorship, above all, thanks to its pricing of oil in US dollars).
Washington finds itself increasingly isolated in its economic and military policies. Merkel's visit to Russia reaffirms the desire to create an alternative axis to the one between Brussels and Washington. The victory in Italy of two parties strongly opposed to new wars and the annulment of the JCPOA, and especially the sanctions against Russia, serves to form a new alliance, accentuating internal divisions within Europe. Macron, Merkel and May are all grappling with a strong crisis of popularity at home, which does not aid them in their decision-making.

From the start and initial design to the tiniest detail, web design is an overwhelming undertaking when you don't know what you're doing. Let this article's ideas and knowledge help you prepare for designing your next website.
Graphics are essential to make sure your site is pleasing to the eye, but they can also clutter up a page. Don't use graphics to decorate the website; they should be used to make it look professional. Your site may be easier to navigate too if you keep the graphic clutter to a minimum.
Check for broken links. Visitors will be annoyed if they click a link and come across an error page. You can manually or use a program if you like.
Your site should be able to be scanned without problems. Most visitors do not have a lot of time to spend; they'll just scan it over. Break text into small, such as bold or italics. This ensures your visitor's time on the site is user friendly.
While giving viewers quality and up-to-date information should be your main focus, you first need to work on gaining a customer base. Knowing which keywords will draw search engine visitors to your site is essential if you want to become successful.
Use Photoshop to create stellar websites. If you don't use such a program, you may find yourself spending much more time than necessary to finish your website.
You don't have to fill all available space when you design a site. Leaving space between different elements will make people more comfortable. There are many situations in which empty space is actually more valuable than other content.
Don't ever place pop-ups on your website. People won't want to return to your website again. Keep ads simple; there's no need for wild pop-ups.
Using the tools from a host to build your site is great for basic layout, but you don't want to rely on the design tools completely. You should be able to customize your website to reflect your taste and personality, and this means tweaking and adding some things on your own without the drag-and-drop site-builder the host offers.
Proofread all of the content on your site's content. Your goal is for people to read it easily and quickly. If the site is clunky and slow, your site will be viewed as unprofessional and may actually be ridiculed.

CPSB approves new consequences for students caught vaping at school
By Drew Marine | September 10, 2019 at 11:04 PM CDT - Updated September 10 at 11:12 PM
LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - At Tuesday night's meeting, the Calcasieu Parish School Board took a new step to kick vaping from its campuses.
"Oh, there's definitely been an increase in vaping, especially in our middle schools. We knew that we were going to have it in high schools, it's rampant in high schools. But, we were surprised at the frequency or the increase of it in our middle schools. So, right now that's a concern for us," Robert Pete, administrative director of high schools in Calcasieu Parish, said.
There will now be consequences for students who bring or use an electronic smoking device on campus. Pete said this penalty comes with changing times.
"I'm not going to say it's not as common, but I think the juuls have surpassed the tobacco cigarettes. So, you will find some students who use traditional cigarettes, but most of them are using e-cigarettes because it's so easy to hide."
Pete said a lot of these devices can be mistaken for a jump drive or even a pen, making it harder not only to sneak onto campus — but in classrooms.
"They're so easily hidden, what we've found that some of our teachers were even charging them because they thought it was a pen drive, making it more accessible for kids to do it in the classroom," Pete said.
If a student is caught, the device will be immediately confiscated and given to a school resource officer, who will remove the liquid or pod.
If the student is under 18 years old, they'll receive a ticket from the SRO for using and possessing a smoking device on them on campus or during a school activity.
However, if the student is 18 years or older, they'll only be ticketed for using it on campus or during a school activity — as it is legal for an 18-year-old to possess an e-cigarette.
"We're finding with the juuls and the e-cigarettes it's a lot easier for our middle school students to get them as well. They're starting younger, and in starting younger, hopefully, the consequences will prevent them, if not the awareness that we're doing. If the awareness doesn't work, maybe the consequences will work," Pete said.
Along with receiving a ticket, Pete said at the school level, students caught with an e-cigarette will be suspended. These new penalties are effective immediately.
Pete said with national news stories of young kids getting sick, he hopes these procedures will prevent these illnesses from happening in Calcasieu Parish schools.

My goodness, this is something. We all need or want ice cream from time to time, even when we are old enough to know not to scream for it. Anyway, enough with trying to be witty, let's get to it. This is very simple recipe. Nothing to heat or cook! You don't even need to churn it in an ice cream machine, although I did and it was fantastic. It also stays soft in the freezer - absolute winner.
And that is it. Basic method : Mix and freeze.
I am using the thermomix, speed 5, but you can whisk or liquidize.
Optional, you can just place in a container and freeze directly.
In a plastic container and place in the freezer. It will be ready to scoop every time.
It is a very quick, very easy ice cream.

Did Disclosure Drink Vodka Out of Their Eyes?
Published on August 6, 2015 10:44 Berlin Time
We all know the story: in 2013 two teenage brothers packaged pop sensibilities in house and garage beats, thereby threatening to transform a staunchly underground sound into a flash in the EDM pan. Think pieces blossomed. Memes appeared. The brothers, Guy and Howard Lawrence, headlined house-oriented stages at America's biggest EDM festivals. Tepid backlash lapped at the shores. And it's in this climate that the boys known as Disclosure plotted the release of their sophomore album, Caracal, which hits shelves September 25. They've maximized its radio potential by enlisting an arsenal of Hot 100 chart-toppers as guest vocalists, including The Weeknd, Sam Smith and Lorde. We sent our own pop music militant and a key figure in Berlin's under-underground, Noisekölln party/radio show founder Michael Aniser, to make sure the fame hasn't gone to their heads.
Self portrait provided by the author.
The first track on your new album, "Nocturnal," reminded me of "Offline Dexterity," one of the first tracks you ever released. It's like you perfected that first tune over the years, and now it's back.
Howard: I think I know what you mean, what with the pads and that it's a driving track, but at the same it's quite relaxed and chill.
Guy: It's much slower.
Howard: I think it doesn't have as big of a bassline as the first track did, and it's a fully written song with lyrics and structure, whereas the first one was more like a club track.
Guy: That's what we want to do with the album: maintain that Disclosure sound with the warm synths and the drum sounds that we use, but evolve with different structures, styles and singers. We wanted to make the record cohesive by keeping our sound.
That's kind of your mission, right? To transport a club vibe into pop songs?
Guy: Yeah. The first album [Settle] had some club tracks on it as well, like "When a Fire Starts to Burn" and "Stimulation." But with this one we did every track around the vocals.
Howard: You know what? I don't think it's our "mission." We just want to write songs, and that sound is the stuff we like. It's not like we set out to change dance music.
How did you get all the collaborations on the tracks? Could you just pick whoever you wanted to work with?
Guy: We don't want to work with big pop stars who have big egos. We have to like them. We got The Weeknd to sing on a track after we DJ'd before one of his shows. We knew he was a fan so we flew to New York to record "Nocturnal," which is the only song we recorded outside of London for this album.
There's also that track with Lorde, whom I only know of through South Park.
Guy: Hah—well, she's very big in the USA. We knew her from the Brit Awards, where we performed together. She's a wicked singer and a very nice person. She emailed us and was like, "Do you want to do a session?" That was actually the last song we did on the record, and it was pretty close to the delivery day, so it was quite a rush to get it done.
Then why did she get so much shit on South Park?
Howard: As South Park goes, they where pretty nice to her. It wasn't like the stuff they did to Michael Jackson.
Guy: I thought it was funny. I asked her if she watched it and, and she said she hasn't even seen the episode.
Howard: I think she would actually find it funny. She has a great sense of humor.
Guy: How can you not watch it? I mean, getting onto South Park is a dream come true for a lot of people.
What's the worst stuff your parents made you listen to?
Guy: Well, we had to listen to some pretty weird stuff, as both our parents are musicians. Our mum was more into normal pop and musicals. But our dad was into some really interesting stuff: prog rock like Rush, Genesis and Pink Floyd. All the dad music you would expect.
Howard: We didn't really got into electronic music until much later, around 2008 when dubstep got really big. We loved it, but we never wanted to make it. People like Burial, Joy Orbison, Floating Points…
Guy: When it started to change and had a bit more bass going on, that was a really exciting time in music in the UK—probably the most exciting point in the underground scene in the UK.
So Burial was important to you?
Guy: I think for any electronic music producer, even if you're making something different, you have to respect Burial. He created a whole genre with those albums. It's that kind of dubstep mixed with ambient cinema music.
Howard: It's kinda strange that it's inspired by garage and various other things, but we didn't know about UK garage. We were like "Where is he getting all his ideas from?" We came there from the other direction. I used to hear a garage record and think, "That's just copying Burial."
On your Wikipedia page it says you're a "dubstep duo." But you're saying you've never made dubstep.
Guy: That was back in 2010 when people didn't really have a name for that sound. I think you'd call it "post-dubstep" now. I think we were associated with that because we were making music around 140 bpm. But once we started to slow down…
…they called you a "deep house duo"?
Howard: It's like with most genres in dance music: dubstep happened, and from that point on everything was called "dubstep" for two or three years. The general public called all electronic music "dubstep," like now everything is called EDM.
Guy: I think that phrase, "EDM," is the weirdest of them all, especially when you think about how much its meaning changes from country to country. In the US, we're considered EDM, and so is Avicii. In the UK, we're a "house pop duo." What are we considered in Germany? Are we EDM here as well?
Um, I think I would say "house pop." Germans don't use the term "EDM" very much. For us, mainstream American festival music is EDM, like Steve Aoki. Are you also getting booked in the American festival circuit?
Guy: Yeah, but we always make sure we're on a different stage. We did Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, which is like, the biggest EDM party. But on our stage it was us, Eats Everything, Loco Dice—a really good lineup. They didn't have all the stupid pyros and smoke. It was just lights and music. You have to pick and choose really carefully.
Howard: We played at the same time as Avicii was on a different stage, and both areas were full. It's not like we're on a mission to take down those guys. It's just so different. You can't really compare the two things.
How is that backstage? Are there any rivalries going on in the green room?
Guy: We're not friends with many of the other DJs. I'm quite good friends with Diplo. He's done some cool shit. And we met Tiesto. He's fucking hilarious, he just loves his life so much.
Any fun stories from Vegas?
Guy: We have a residency in Vegas, four shows a year, and the second one was on Howard's birthday and our tour manager's birthday. I flew like, five of my mates out as well and we tore it up. Standard Vegas stuff: lot's of strip clubs and gambling.
In your last interview with Electronic Beats, which you did at the EB Festival in 2013, you said you drank a shot of vodka through your eye. Is that true?
Guy: No, I've never have done that. I don't even remember saying that.
OK. I actually just wanted to make sure you didn't do that.

PNOC Exploration Corporation is the upstream oil, gas and coal subsidiary of the state-owned Philippine National Oil Company. A government owned and controlled corporation, the Company was incorporated on 20 April 1976 and is mandated by the government through the Department of Energy (DOE) to take the lead in exploration, development and production of the country's oil, gas and coal resources. The company likewise owns and operates a private commercial port – the Energy Supply Base (ESB) – in Mabini, Batangas which provides berthing, cargo handling, storage and warehousing facilities to its clients.


Greenies have become the most intrusive sub-species of man, intent on imposing their distorted worldview on everyone.
These freaks are systematically destroying amenity and quality of life in the West and putting to severe risk human health. That they are destroying all vestige of liberty in the process is a separate issue.
These "experts" have destroyed water systems across the west already. Toilet flushes store so little water they've stopped cleaning. Showers provide so little water you don't get the sense you've bathed. Showers at public swimming pools switch off automatically in a few seconds, so you can't even clean yourself. And now toasters that won't toast. These people have gone berserk.
The "common people" have been bamboozled. These laws are made with a 2-3 year window. The people don't know about it and all of a sudden the stuff has changed in the market.
One fine day when I went to get incandescent bulbs, there were no more bulbs in the market. And yet, it is these bulbs that are best suited to the human eye. Today I have to use a bright halogen lamp in my room to compensate for low light from LED. And on the other side are those bright LED lights in cars which send a piercing beam into the eye at night. It is intolerable that well-functioning incandescent bulbs were forced off the market by these loonies. Now you can't get proper light at home and you get a fierce beam of bright light into your eyes at night.
The agenda and approach of the greenies is not market driven at all – and it has NOTHING to do with the environment. It is always based on bogus cost-benefit analyses, with the benefits grossly exaggerated and the costs not even properly identified.
These "experts" don't trust the market at all, although people will naturally pay for greater energy or water efficiency – so long as there is no loss of function. The market solution would be acceptable, but these experts are "rushing" things and in that process destroying basic amenity and quality of life in the West.
Toilets across the West have started stinking. Water is choked and one can't even wash one's hands. A total disaster imposed on society by crazy lunatic greenies.
The West has turned into a stinking Third World, and I'm sure people's health will soon be adversely affected as they can't even wash their hands with high-restriction taps.
I'm quite sick of constant meddling by "smart-alecks" into the daily lives of the people in every possible way – that too on entirely spurious grounds.
The world needs to fight back against these bureaucracies which have entangled politicians in their grip. There seems to be no one left to block paternalistic interventions by governments.
Does small business need special government protection? NO, of course not!
One of my civil service colleagues in India recently commented on my Facebook page on the "need" for government protection of the small business sector. Since such views are typical in the policy circles of India, let me discuss this matter briefly and suggest that Indian policy-makers revert to first principles.
"I went through the manuscript cursorily. I have just one comment. Capitalism has the built in tendency of the bigger fish swallowing the smaller ones. The small fish too do have their right of existence. But they can't survive when they have to compete on an equal footing with hugely big players, who can manipulate the markets, and even resort to strangle smaller players by artificially reducing their prices temporarily to grab the market in the longer run.
"Clearly there is a case for protecting the small ..I think it was the British economist, Shoemacher, who did some research in the area of comparative efficiency of a system of multiplicity of small and medium enterprises (SME's) vis-a-vis monopolistic MNC,s for the oveall well being of a society. And he concludes – Small is Beautiful. He has also written a book by the same title and I am sure you must have come across it.
"Clearly there is a case for protecting – in some way – the smaller AND the efficient players in the economy. This is not socialism. It is only giving the smaller ones the supporting environment for survival -so that they too may express their full potential, that they too may blossom…"
1) A government has no coherent, logical, or consistent method of assessing whom to protect in a marketplace. Even if such a method existed it has no capacity to practically distinguish the criteria. Even if a government had the capacity to distinguish the selection criteria, it can never have a capacity to implement a coherent protection of the "smaller AND efficient" players, for it requires local knowledge of details that, as I show in BFN (and as Hayek showed), NO ONE can possibly hope to accurately measure and assess. The idea of such protection is not feasible, apart from being unethical – as I show in (2) below.
2) A government has no business to "protect" any segment of the population EXCEPT from injustice and crime. Any expense on such protection (beyond that of the social insurance program) is unethical, amounting to redistribution of wealth, namely, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. That is socialism and that is anti-freedom, and basically criminal. Let governments implement their core functions of justice and security. If they do that well enough, India will do WONDERFULLY well. Why meddle in things that governments should NEVER be involved with?
3) By definition there is NEVER any NEED to protect "efficient" business. If a business needs protection it is NOT efficient. In BFN I have even opposed the "well-established" idea of anti-trust laws which leads to the same trap outlined in (1) above, creating unethical outcomes. If a business is efficient and provides value, the consumer will protect it – through his repeat custom. Let, therefore, the market democracy protect the efficient and let the government stay away from ANY kind of business.
4) The reality is that small businesses FLOURISH in the West compared with socialist India. Indeed, in socialist India, the government squeezes out small business through the license raj, blocking its growth and preventing its entry in many sectors. But the data below (outdated – being taken from my 1993 term paper in Curtin University, but still relevant) demonstrate that in the more free societies, the small sector is booming.
Note that Western small businesses are, generally speaking, (a) NOT protected, and (b) do NOT require protection, either – being efficient and quality conscious.
The mechanics of competition mean that small businesses can't compete on cost – on which the big players do best (economies of scale). Instead, the small businesses in the West compete on quality (which includes, in many cases, locational advantage and flexibility in service provision). As a result they manage to produce half the output of the Western nations, employing roughly half the workers in the West.
5) Finally, I did write an extensive paper on Schumacher's Small in Beautiful in 1983-84 in the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy. In that paper I compared his views favourably (!!) with Ayn Rand's Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. But I did so under the influence of socialist academics who then taught young IAS recruits. No one in LBSNAA had the slightest clue about freedom in 1982-84. I don't believe much has changed.
Anyway, today I am able to rip apart Schumacher's ridiculous arguments. After understanding Julian Simon, in particular, I do not need to consider the views of eminently confused thinkers like Schumacher. Fortunately, now the world KNOWS what works and why. And definitely capitalism works.
And definitely a government should stay out of business and "industry policy".


The BBC want to destroy Boris Johnson, he has popularity outside of the Conservative Party, supports Brexit and has the recognition that leaders need. So any excuse to attack Boris Johnson.
The BBC bias is pretty clear.

I am able to test the Green LED with a separate 3 v battery pack. I installed the kill key-I ran the leads from the separate battery pack to the ends of the green LED wires where they connect to the CF and I am able to get the green to lite up.
I also used the volt meter on the FOC pad(same pad/wire end tested with separate pack) where the green is wired to and it does have close to 5 v coming from the pad- and still no green LED.
In my(noob) mind, I would think the above test would tell me that the wiring of the green is ok.

Chris Haines, President, Arizona Division - AV Homes
Due to my relationship with Coach Todd, I now have a book of awesome lessons that have contributed greatly to my players and me. He has provided great wisdom and a safe environment for learning.
Every year I have worked with Coach Todd has allowed me to grow and experience new levels of ease and satisfaction in coaching my team. The time spent has been invaluable.
Nancy McDaniel, Head Coach - Women's Golf Team - UC, Berkeley
Coach Todd is great on his feet at a workshop, but shines perhaps even more as a coach one-on-one or with a pair of employees that need to work in sync together. I think the heart of it is that he has trained himself over the years to be a fantastic listener. He will train you to be one too.
Combining empathy, his understanding of people and their motivations, and his experience bringing teams to higher levels of performance (one person at a time, if need be), he is very effective. Results come quickly, and changes are long-lasting.
Doug Hansen, Founder - Redwood Trust, Inc.
When I was appointed Athletic Director at Providence College, the first person I called to help build a championship athletic program was Coach Todd. Together, over the years, Coach Todd has helped us build a model athletic program that has allowed us to compete successfully in the Big East Conference.
Bob Driscoll, Athletic Director - Providence College
Coach Todd has been one of the most important people in my career. Helping me achieve synergy among my priorities, he has helped me open doors and achieve success I would have never been able to on my own. I can adamantly attribute my success to his coaching.
The Todd Team Coaching team has also been instrumental in helping our small company establish our culture from the beginning. In the two years since we began working with Coach Todd and his team at Todd Team Coaching, we have doubled our revenue and profits and increased our team by 30%.
Danny Goodman, Vice President - 55 Places
As a young assistant coach, I had the good fortune to participate in several Todd Team Coaching workshops. From their Building A Championship Team workshop as an assistant at the University Of The Pacific, to individual work at their coaching excellence camps.
We have used every lesson to help build one of the best community college basketball programs in the state of California at Cabrillo College. The theme of every program is, "Relationship Is The Key To
Everything." A transformation consistently occurs in my relationship with my team because I apply that theme every single day with the individuals on my team as well as the team itself. It makes coaching simple, and at the same time, rigorous. It keeps me fully engaged.
Tony Marcopulos, Head Basketball Coach, Cabrillo College
As an NCAA Division I player, assistant coach and now head coach, I have had the good fortune to experience the teachings of Todd Team Coaching. Their primary principle that "Relationship Is The Key To Everything," and their other operating principles have allowed me to effectively work through any issues with my athletes and in my personal life. We have a championship team on and off the course.

How to play metaverse games, case of Decentraland
Gaming in the metaverse is the new happening in the world of video games. The platform offers its users the opportunity to present themselves with a unique avatar in a space where both gaming and social interactions meet each other.
As if gaming and taking social interactions to the digital world is not enough, the metaverse with the advance of blockchain technology now supports the existence of the real-world economy in the digital space as people now can get themselves involved in the transaction processes of digital items.
The idea gained more traction and has received the majority of good reception or at least interest from curious prying eyes, as the pandemic was in full swing back in 2020-2021. With many blockchain-based and immersive metaverse games being made available these days, getting the correct one let alone finding one might be a difficult task for one to do.
What is metaverse, gaming in Decentraland
The metaverse is an ever-expanding idea that intersects gaming with digital space which also features social interactions and the ability to buy, sell and trade digital items. It offers many to those looking for an entirely new experience of gaming.
Usually, most metaverse games are not very hardware demanding games unlike most triple-A titles from big names video game studios. The first important thing to note before getting into any metaverse game is to have a proper internet connection and virtual reality equipment for the additional immersive experience. Although, the latter is not a necessity.
The second is to accept that the majority of metaverse games are NFT-centric titles. Meaning that users are allowed to partake in trading NFTs should they deem it fits. Additionally, different games have their own unique type of NFTs and native tokens per se.
For example, The Sandbox and Decentraland's NFTs are plots of digital land or LAND which can also be sold from the secondary marketplace, such as Open Sea. In Decentraland, users can purchase land by using an ERC-20 token called MANA among other supported cryptocurrencies that allow its users to purchase LAND, and pay for goods and services in the virtual world.
The popularity of the metaverse resulted in the rise of popularity for both 3D virtual open-world games, such as The Sandbox and Decentraland. In other words, the token prices also skyrocketed. This also means that the exact number of LAND is being limited to a certain number of supplies, say for example in Decentraland the LAND is capped at 90,000.
The reason was to create a sense of supply scarcity that eventually resulted in the increase of the LAND value as an NFT. Therefore, the importance for crypto-heads and investors to dip their feet deep as fast as possible is beyond crucial.
Requirements to know
Perhaps another important thing to note is to keep in mind whether the device being used is one that is proper and hardware-wise appropriate. Decentraland is a browser-based game and users only need internet browsers such as Chrome or Firefox to play the game. Unlike, The Sandbox which requires users to download and install its own standalone software.
Getting into Decentraland requires you to have 4GB of memory, at least a quad-core processor, a graphics card, good internet connection alongside an updated internet browser of choice. Additionally, a software cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask is required.

Q: How to programmatically identify sexually explicit images? Google does this successfully. Do they use an algorithm or are the images marked manually by people once and the results are used by the exact same images thus significantly reducing the number of images to go through?
Because I am not sure how else you can identify these pictures. You can use skin color but is it 100% accurate? What if the person just wore a skin colored outfit? Or are these eliminated too?
Or what if the person is fully clothed but performing sexual acts?

A: It is just another image classification or object recognition problem. Searching on Scholar.Google for Pornographic image is a great start. Neural networks would be my first attempt (and seems to be a popular choice from the pubs on Scholar).
This paper, Recognition of Pornographic Web Pages
by Classifying Texts and Images, has a good related works section that you could investigate. It lists model-based, region-based, and feature-based as the main techniques to analyze images for pornographic content.
Your idea of using the skin color is very naive and wouldn't be very accurate (would be interesting to use as a comparison for a more sophisticated method though!).
If I was to try to tackle the problem, I would start with Viola-Jones objects (based on Haar cascades), which is already implemented for you in OpenCV. Also read up on neural networks. I have used these techniques to successfully find particular muscles in images of people so there is no reason why you can't look for explicit content with them. (Disclaimer: This is not my field of research, only a hobby, so make sure you go into those papers!)

Chanel lab continues to fight for a perfect skin. Another novelty is Perfection Lumière Velvet concealer – that comes in a black bottle – a real miracle of the cosmetic industry. Water-based emulsion rests on the face like a second skin, leaving the skin smooth and velvety.
Thanks to the patented Light Control and Perfect Skin Affinity tools it improves the skin's microrelief, instantly hides minor flaws and remains effective for the whole day – while being weightless.
To apply the miracle foundation creators recommend to use your fingertips – from the center to the periphery of the face and it can be used as a proofreader or a concealer – also apply with your fingertips or with a special brush .
The palette includes nine shades, so if you want you can not just pick out the perfect one for you, but take another bottle – for darker tone – and experiment using shades and light.
that's interesting. get a bottle of the shade that matches your skin, PLUS another in a darker tone. so that your face is not one flat color, which looks kinda fake, but multi-tone, since real skin has depth in its coloration.
