May 2012 Visa Bulletin: EB2 India and China Retrogression
Posted at 15:38h in AOS/CP, NewsBrief, Visa Bulletin by mlfadmin
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) has released the May 2012 Visa Bulletin. As expected, based upon an earlier DOS announcement, the May Visa Bulletin has a retrogressed cutoff date of August 15, 2007. This was discussed in DOS Issues New EB2 Cutoff Projection (23.Mar.2012). The Visa Bulletin contains some explanations and projections for the future. This summary of the May 2012 Visa Bulletin is for the benefit of MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers.
Summary of Visa Bulletin
Employment-Based, First Preference (EB1)
This category is current for all countries of chargeability.
Employment-Based, Second Preference (EB2)
The EB2 category remains current for all countries of chargeability except India and China. The EB2 cutoff date for India and China is retrogressing dramatically to a new cutoff date of August 15, 2007. This cutoff date is effective starting in May 2012. It continues through April, therefore, to be possible to file adjustment-of-status (I-485) cases under the April Visa Bulletin cutoff date. To do so, the I-485 must reach the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on or before the last USCIS work day in April 2012.
This retrogression is not a surprise. The DOS repeatedly explained that it likely would need to retrogress the EB2 India and China cutoff dates once a sufficient level of visa number demand was created as a result of the advancement of the dates. The retrogression did occur earlier than anticipated, however. As explained in the May Visa Bulletin, demand increased more quickly than expected. As a result, the cutoff date had to be retrogressed to control visa number usage.
As many of our MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers know, the retrogression reflected in the May Visa Bulletin has already been put into effect for internal case processing. This means that, while it is possible to file I-485 cases under the April Visa Bulletin cutoff date, visa numbers are not available for the approval of the many pending EB2 India and China I-485 cases. This development was explained in our April 6, 2012 NewsBrief, EB2 Visa Numbers Depleted for India and China.
Employment-Based, Third Preference (EB3)
The EB3 category advances by just under a month to May 1, 2006 for the category of all chargeability areas except those listed, as well as for Mexico and the Philippines. China's cutoff date advances by a full month to April 2005. India moves forward by only a few days, to September 8, 2002.
Other Workers' Category
The EB3 other workers' category advancement is also about a month in the category of all chargeability areas except those listed, as well as for the Philippines and Mexico, with a new cutoff date of May 1, 2006. China's cutoff date continues to be unchanged at April 22, 2003. India's cutoff date advances slightly to September 8, 2002.
Employment-Based Fourth (EB4) and Fifth (EB5) Preferences
These categories remain current for all countries of chargeability.
Explanation and Predictions
As explained above, the retrogression in EB2 India and China was inevitable. However, it occurred earlier than even the DOS had anticipated. The Visa Bulletin states that every effort will be made to return the cutoff date for EB2 India and China to the date contained in the April Visa Bulletin in fiscal year 2013 (FY13). FY13 starts on October 1, 2012.
This means that, once more immigrant visa numbers become available in FY13, the DOS will try to restore EB2 cutoff dates to where they were before this retrogression. This should not be interpreted to mean that the cutoff dates will return to May 1, 2010 once more visa numbers become available. The cutoff date established in October 2012, as it always does, will remain a function of supply and demand. The May Visa Bulletin states that it is not possible to speculate the cutoff date that will become effective in October 2012 until late in the summer. MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers will continue to be kept up to date on any new visa bulletin developments.

Q: Why do QGridLayout Widgets move around when adding new ones? I can't seem to wrap my head around how they work. The the best for placing multiple widgets seems to be QGridLayout but when I add something into a specific row/column and later decide to add somthing into another row/column everything shifts and it's just really frustrating.
For example I would not even be able to do such a simple layout as the google mainpage. When I add a searchbar to the place I want it to be and then add an image/text above it everything moves into weird spots etc and I can't find proper explanations online on how to handle it. Thus I would be delighted if anyone could explain it to an absolute beginner, like me, in an understandable way.
So when I have the following code:
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import *
import sys
import numpy as np
import os
from PyQt6 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt6.QtCore import QEvent, Qt
from PyQt6.QtGui import QPalette, QColor
from pathlib import Path

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

class MainWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
        self.resize(1024, 768)
        self.setWindowTitle("Tracker")

        layout = QGridLayout()
        self.setLayout(layout)
        #layout.setRowMinimumHeight(0, 50)

        #layout.setColumnMinimumWidth(0,50)

        self.input = QLineEdit(self)
        self.input.setPlaceholderText('Enter Username')
        layout.addWidget(self.input,1,1)
        self.input.setFixedSize(300,30)

        self.darkmode_check = QCheckBox('Darkmode',self)
        self.darkmode_check.toggled.connect(self.darkmode)
        self.darkmode_check.setChecked(True)
        self.darkmode_check.move(0,0)

    def darkmode(self):

            if self.darkmode_check.isChecked() == True:
                app.setStyleSheet(Path('D:\CODE\League Code\darkorange.qss').read_text())
            else:
                app.setStyleSheet(Path('D:\CODE\League Code\classic_edit.qss').read_text())

window = MainWindow()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())

I get this screen which is what I want.

When I only want to add a text above this search bar:
by adding
self.text = QLabel(self)
self.text.setText('Tracker')
layout.addWidget(self.text,0,1)

I get this:

which is all over the place.
Does anyone have good explanations on GridLayout or can recommend good websites for it? I found a lot about  what the grid looks like etc but nothing helped (and also some posts giving me 3x3 grids, some 4x4 etc, I'm just confused at this point)
I basically just want to place a searchbar in the middle, then a text above that and keep on adding little things here and there.
Thank you

A: Qt basic layouts always try to evenly divide the available space in its "cells", and each widget will have that space reserved (even if it doesn't use all of it).
Note that different widget types have also different size policies that tell the layout how it should allocate the available space and eventually set the geometry of those widgets.
For instance, QLineEdit has a Fixed vertical policy, meaning that its size hint will always be considered as the only valid height (which is similar to calling setFixedHeight() or setFixedSize() as you did).
QLabel, instead, has a Preferred size policy, meaning that if there's space left in the layout, it can take advantage of it.
When you only have the line edit, the layout only has that widget, so it will place it in the center (because you didn't specify an alignment). But when you add the label, the layout finds that the line edit needs a very small space, so it will leave the remaining to the label, hence your result.
For a simple case like this, you can just specify a proper alignment when adding the widgets: when the alignment is provided, the item will not try to occupy the whole cell and the layout will align it to the available space of that layout cell.
        layout.addWidget(self.text, 0, 0, alignment=Qt.AlignBottom)
        layout.addWidget(self.input, 1, 0, alignment=Qt.AlignTop)

Note that I changed the column to 0, as there is no point in placing widgets in the second column if there's nothing in the first, unless you want to get advantage of setColumnStretch() or setColumnMinimumWidth().
Also consider that for this kind of "wide" layouts with lots of empty spaces it's usually better to use nested layouts, or use container widgets.
For instance:
        layout = QGridLayout(self)
        centerLayout = QVBoxLayout()
        layout.addLayout(centerLayout, 0, 0, alignment=Qt.AlignCenter)

        # ...
        centerLayout.addWidget(self.text)
        centerLayout.addWidget(self.input)

Or, alternatively:
        layout = QGridLayout(self)
        centerWidget = QWidget()
        layout.addWidget(centerWidget, 0, 0, alignment=Qt.AlignCenter)

        centerLayout = QVBoxLayout(centerWidget)
        # ... as above

Try to remove the alignment argument in the two examples above and you'll see the difference.
I suggest you to do some experiments using layouts in Qt Designer, which makes it easier to immediately understand how layout work and behave with different widget types.

Lincoln Fields Station is a huge hub of Ottawa's western Transitway through which nearly all buses headed west travel. But it's also kind of isolated by roadways, hemmed in to the north by the Transitway, the west by the Sir John A. MacDonald Parkway, the east by a big field, and the south by Carling Avenue. It was never designed with pedestrians or cyclists in mind, and has used obstacles (mostly fences and barricades) to try and shepherd people along major detours in order to get anywhere.
@rymkrs Yes you are! Took me a year to convince NCC. Also paved and plowed pathways down embankment to access new crosswalk.
As you can see in the image at the top of this post (thanks to Taylor for sending it), the NCC finally agreed to install a crosswalk on the Parkway where there's already a traffic light (installed for buses turning into the station) in order to provide a pedestrian crossing where people had been forced to make one themselves. (Note the sections where sod is to be placed in the image, which will cover the well-worn footpaths jaywalkers have established over years of crossing.) It's an overdue but still very sensible move to make, and will hopefully make pedestrian access to the major station at least a little bit safer.
The project is well on its way and, based on what I've seen there, should probably be completed within a couple of weeks.
Of course, there's a larger issue at stake here: The lack of initial consideration for pedestrian access to many transit stations in the first place, especially those near major roadways. It's an issue that caused a fatality two years back at the Eagleson Park and Ride, which was poorly designed for pedestrian access. Lincoln Fields is another station with poor accessibility, and the conventional response to it--installing physical obstructions to block pedestrians--is not sufficient to compensate for these errors. These obstructions rarely prevent pedestrians from crossing dangerous roadways, but almost always make those crossings more dangerous than they were originally.
If Ottawa is serious about encouraging people to walk, bike, and ride the bus, they need to ensure connectivity between those systems is possible--especially walking and using transit. If you make it easy for people to get to stations, you give them one less reason to avoid transit.
Why sod over the peoplepaths? Why not make them official?
Anon@10:34: Your point's well taken and I'd agree that basing the crosswalk on the line that people are already taking would be sensible, but I think there was a more pressing requirement to align the crosswalk with the existing traffic light there.
Also, there's a big hill between the proposed sidewalk on the western side of the Parkway and the existing bike path; people weren't about to climb that hill, so they took a direct route to the existing path. The proposed sidewalk should make it easier to get across safely.

Peter Navarro: China 'Very Aggressively' Trying To 'Gain Control' Of U.N. By Using 'Colonial Type Proxies'
By Daily Wire News
Apr 9, 2020 DailyWire.com
White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro explained to Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on Wednesday night how communist China is trying to take control of United Nations' agencies and how China harmed the rest of the world by trying to cover-up the coronavirus outbreak in their country.
"Martha, let me — let me give you a kind of bigger look at the chessboard here, because the U.N. itself has 15 specialized agencies including the WHO, the World Intellectual Property Organization, things like that," Navarro said. "And what China has been doing very, very aggressively over the last decade is to try to gain control of those by electing people to the top. It already controls 5 of the 15. And also by using proxies, colonial type proxies like Tedros, at the WHO."
"And as you can see in this crisis, the damage that that kind of control by China, the key health organization, has been just absolutely enormous. They suppressed the human to human transmission. They refused to call this a pandemic… They basically discouraged travel ban," Navarro continued. "So I mean this is one of the most serious things we've ever seen. And it all tracks to China's view of the world and how they want to control different types of international organizations, even as they don't play by the international rules."
Navarro said that the problem and the threat that China poses to the world is unique to China and the U.S. does not have the same problems with other countries.
"I think any other country in the world would have been transparent about the problem, would have invited CDC people in. I mean we lost about five weeks because of China's non-transparency," Navarro said. "So if you're asking me how are we going to fix this, it's really kind of more of a China problem than anything else. And I don't have the answer at this point. That's outside of my lane."
Navarro added, "All I can keep telling you is that China's attempt to control basically every organization within the United Nations through their colonial powers, through bribery, through other things — [has done] tremendous damage to this country and to this world."
MARTHA MACCALLUM, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: Peter, thank you very much for being with us this evening. I want to start — good to have you sir. I want to start with asking you a little bit about the WHO. Should the United States not be part of this organization anymore? Should we cut off funding?
The president just outlined the huge disparity between the money that we put into it and the money that China puts into it.
PETER NAVARRO, WHITE HOUSE TRADE ADVISER: Yes, Martha, let me — let me give you a kind of bigger look at the chessboard here, because the U.N. itself has 15 specialized agencies including the WHO, the World Intellectual Property Organization, things like that.
And what China has been doing very, very aggressively over the last decade is to try to gain control of those by electing people to the top. It already controls 5 of the 15. And also by using proxies, colonial type proxies like Tedros, at the WHO.
And as you can see in this crisis, the damage that that kind of control by China, the key health organization, has been just absolutely enormous. They suppressed the human to human transmission. They refused to call this a pandemic. They — they basically discouraged travel ban.
So I mean this is — this is one of the most serious things we've ever seen. And it all tracks to China's view of the world and how they want to control different types of international organizations even as they don't play by the international rules.
So it's going to be up to the president to look at this. But Martha, this is a really serious issue and the president is absolutely right about this.
MACCALLUM: Yes. So let me ask you this. You know, in the past we've seen three major viruses come out of China.
And so if we can't rely on the World Health Organization, we need to perhaps have our own medical professionals or assessments similar to sort of the IAEA, or something along those lines, where you have independent people who can take a look at what's going on in various countries around the world to give us a heads up in terms of the actual virus or the actual future pandemic that's happening.
There has been some criticism that maybe some of those — those outreach groups don't exist anymore under the current framework of the White House Organization. Is that something that should be put back in place, would you say?
NAVARRO: Well, I think the problem here is sui generis to China. I think any other country in the world would have been transparent about the problem, would have invited CDC people in. I mean we lost about five weeks because of China's non-transparency.
So if you're asking me how are we going to fix this, it's really kind of more of a China problem than anything else. And I — I don't have the answer at this point. That's outside of my lane.
All I can keep telling you is that China's attempt to control basically every organization within the United Nations through their colonial powers, through bribery, through other things — tremendous damage to this country and to this world.
MACCALLUM: OK. There's been a lot of discussion about the memos that you sent out at the end of January and towards the end of February to the National Security Council.
Here's what Steve Bannon said about that. He said — let's put that up there. He said the principles reason — this is a quote, "The principle reason that Peter wrote this memo is to make sure that real information got to the president, because the real information was being suppressed by the chief of staff at the time, Mick Mulvaney." Is that true?
NAVARRO: Let me make something crystal clear about this memo, because I heard a lot of chatter this morning on some of the left wing side of the cable news. That memo was a memo that went not to the president but to a small distribution list to the task force.
So people this morning who were criticizing the president for not bothering to read the memo or whatever, he never got the memo. It was not sent to him.
And what's interesting to me, Martha, even as I was trying to present a significant issue to the task force itself, the president was one step ahead of me, because as I was advocating for the travel ban in that memo to the task force, the president was already moving to do that. And he did that on January 31st.
So I think that's what important to understand about this.
MACCALLUM: Yes, we're aware of that.
NAVARRO: And what I can tell you about the task force itself, why that memo went there is that there was disagreement. And that's not a bad thing. I think part of the strength –
MACCALLUM: So it went to the –
NAVARRO: Go ahead.
MACCALLUM: It — I just want to ask you — it was addressed, I believe, to the National Security Council. Is that correct? There was no task force on coronavirus at that point.
NAVARRO: It was addressed – well –
MACCALLUM: So it was addressed to the National Security Council?
NAVARRO: That's — that's not exactly right. The task force began kind of unofficially that Monday. I appeared Tuesday at the task force to present the case verbally and based on the discussion there I felt the need to write that memo.
So that — and the chief of — the memo went to chief of staff Mulvaney.
(CROSSTALK)
MACCALLUM: So — OK. That's — that's what I want to ask you about. You say based on the situation there —
NAVARRO: — to the NSC, yes.
MACCALLUM: OK. Did Mick Mulvaney — is Steve Bannon right — did Mick Mulvaney push back at you? And did you feel the need to push harder and that's why you put this memo out, is that true or not true?
NAVARRO: So what happens in the Situation Room, by definition, Martha, needs to stay there. I can tell you simply that there was disagreement among the taskforce about this, and I tried to provide some clarity with a fairly straightforward analysis of the costs of the travel ban which would entail disruptions to business and travel, versus the bigger cost in case the — and we didn't know this at the time, but in case the seriousness of the pandemic emerged.
So I think what's important here is that the president independently of that memo made, what I think in the history books will be judged as the pivotal decision in the crisis, and it started in motion a set of events that have led to the largest industrial mobilization since World War II.
It's led to the use of the Defense Production Act for the first time since the Korean War, it took (ph) great effect. It led to a quarantine which we'd never done before, which — and all these things the president got tremendous resistance, but as every day goes by we see that he was exactly right in doing what he did.
He has a greater sense of the chessboard, I think, than anyone. And I've said — and I've said this repeatedly prior to the crisis, I think he will go down as the greatest president in modern history for his positions on trade and immigration. But I think in this particular case what we're seeing is somebody playing the chess game better than anyone.
And Martha, we've just got to beat this virus. We are at war, he's a wartime president. And all this stuff about memos and things like that – you know, we need to focus on getting medicines to the people.
MACCALLUM: Well, absolutely. And that's been our focus in terms of watching this virus and looking at it. It is instrumental at some point to figure out how it all went down in terms of the response which has been, I think, very strong in many ways with the possible exception of the testing—
NAVARRO: Can I say just one quick thing?
MACCALLUM: — that was a little bit botched at the beginning.
NAVARRO: Just one quick thing—
MACCALLUM: Yes, real quick — thank you, go ahead.
NAVARRO: Yesterday we got 9 million doses of hydroxy out to Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, and New York. Today as we speak–
MACCALLUM: Yes.
NAVARRO: — (inaudible) arriving, that will — there'll be another eight million doses going to 10 different cities.
This is moving in Trump time. These are the kinds of things I do every day in an office about 40 yards across the street. And we're going to beat this virus.
MACCALLUM: All right. We're going to talk about that drug as well, coming up.
Peter Navarro, thank you very much.
NAVARRO: Thank you, Martha, appreciate it. Bye-bye.
MACCALLUM: Good to see you tonight. Thanks for being here — you too.

Fire victims give thanks after adversity
By The San Gabriel Valley Tribune | sgvtribune@dfmdev.com |
PUBLISHED: October 28, 2007 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 30, 2017 at 1:03 a.m.
DISASTER: Many rejoice during church services for what they still have as crews continue to fight blazes.
By Chelsea J. Carter
SAN DIEGO – Survivors of firestorms that destroyed more than 2,000 homes in Southern California found reasons Sunday to be thankful even as the damage toll mounted and firefighters worked to contain blazes.
Fire officials kept an eye on warm, dry weather that moved in behind a moist, tropical system that allowed fire crews to make gains Saturday. Winds up to 15 mph were expected but weren't considered a problem.
"This is fire conditions that we can actively fight, unlike the Santa Ana winds," said Daniel Berlant, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
But there was a possibility of strong offshore winds in another seven days, he said.
It was the onset of the seasonal Santa Anas – fierce, dry winds blowing from the desert and out to sea – that spread fires across more than 500,000 acres of Southern California during the week, chasing half a million people from communities as homes burned.
Despite the destruction, so many who lost so much still gave thanks at church services in some of the hardest-hit communities.
At the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church, where 60 families lost their homes, they gave thanks for the big things: for lives saved, for families, for friendships. They also gave thanks for small things: a hug, a shoulder to cry on.
Nancy Hylbert gave thanks for a wrought-iron ice cream table and chairs that survived outside, and a terra cotta statue of a cat from her garden.
"They are the only links with my past, " she said. "I feel a little bit like an amnesiac with no link to my past."
Barbara Warden escaped her home with only three boxes of photographs and her grandfather's cuckoo clock.
"We're sitting in church and I'm saying to myself, `Our lives will never be the same,"' she said.
And yet Warden said she, too, was thankful. Nobody in her community or family was hurt. A day earlier, she sifted through the ashes of her home and found a sundial given to her by her husband. It was engraved with the message: "Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be."
"That says it all, doesn't it?" she said. "We have a lot to be thankful for. We have each other."
At Crestline, in the Lake Arrowhead region of the fire-ravaged San Bernardino Mountains, about 25 members of the Community Presbyterian Church had to piece together their own worship service because their interim pastor couldn't get a resident's card, the crucial piece of identification needed to drive past roadblocks.
A sign outside the church said, "Life is Fragile; Handle with Prayer."
Members hugged and rejoiced over the congregation's fortune: The fire had spared all local members' homes, a woman had given birth to a boy while evacuated, and power had stayed on for those who disobeyed the order to leave town.
"Praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; we have lucked out much more than we deserve," said Bill Lange, a scientist who led the service. "Dear Lord, thank you for sparing us again and thank you for helping all the people who needed the help."
As the organist started playing "Here I Am, Lord," several women wiped tears.
As of Sunday, the state Office of Emergency Services tallied 2,767 structures destroyed. The number included 2,013 homes, office spokeswoman Kim Oliver said. With more than a dozen fires fully surrounded, firefighters were pushing to complete lines around seven others. Containment of those blazes ranged from 50percent to 97 percent.
"All the manpower is concentrated on the seven fires, so they are going to put those fires out and get them under control very quickly," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said.

CFB Playoff: Opening Press Conference Quotes
PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT - PART ONE
MODERATOR: Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. Coach, the Tigers arrived last night. We noticed a lot of your student-athletes are wearing cowboy hats. Looks like they're getting into that spirit of Texas.
COACH SWINNEY: We're excited to be here. We really are. It was a long day yesterday. But we actually got everybody back, had a little practice at Clemson, some meetings. And then had a great trip out. And guys were in great spirits. I think all the specialists wore their Christmas suits. And we had several guys wear their hats. And it was pretty fitting because, last night, they were able to — I think all the staff ended up getting boots. So we're happy to be here. It's an amazing hotel that we're staying at. And just all the Cotton Bowl folks. This is a bowl I've always wanted to be a part of for a long time. So to actually have the opportunity to experience it firsthand and for our players to get such a wonderful experience — these guys have been in Orange Bowls, Fiesta Bowls, Sugar Bowls, national championships. They've had some amazing experiences. And these two, in particular, because they're both fifth-year seniors, were also in the Russell Athletic Bowl. So they've had some great experiences, but this going to be amazing. I mean, just this press conference. Usually, we show up to practice and we just gather up outside a fence or something, but everything is bigger in Texas, I guess. So here we go. We're excited. I can't wait to get out on the field and check this place out.
PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT - PART TWO
MODERATOR: Coach, if you would, please introduce your two student-athletes and tell us a little bit about them.
COACH SWINNEY: We've got Kendall Joseph. This is our starting middle linebacker, number 34. He's an unbelievable leader for us. He's a captain of our football team. He's a fifth-year senior, and has been a three-year starter, a very, very talented and dynamic young man. He's a graduate. Hopefully, he'll have opportunity to play some ball in the NFL, but he's got a really, really nice job waiting on him if he chooses to do that. He's from Belton, BHP High School, in South Carolina. And, again, just a great leader and has been a very productive player. And then Hunter Renfrow — yep, that's Hunter Renfrow, for those of you who don't know him. He's a fifth-year receiver as well. He's from down in Myrtle Beach, Socastee area, in South Carolina. Same thing, a graduate. He's a captain, just an amazing young man, both from great families, and one of the most productive receivers we've ever had at Clemson. He's got the most starts ever for a receiver, the most catches consecutively in the history of Clemson, just a very productive football player. And, again, two great leaders and representatives of our program.
PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT - PART THREE
Q. Hunter, how much more dynamic do you think this offense is this year compared to a year ago when you guys were entered in the semifinal?
WR HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah, just a little different, a little more experience, I would say. We still have Justyn [Ross] outside that's a freshman, and a few more freshmen pieces. But I would say, just the experience we have and just being on that team last year and not finishing the way we wanted to, I think it's definitely going to help us as we finish, hopefully well, this year.
Q. What has Trevor [Lawrence] brought to the offense as a freshman? And does he play like a freshman now, or could you describe him to us?
WR HUNTER RENFROW: I mean, Trevor has had 13 games under his belt. And so he's a freshman, I guess, still, but he plays like a sophomore. He's had a whole year under his belt. And he's really just gotten better every week. And that's the thing I would say about Trevor is, every week, he's come and he's gotten better. And just seeing his preparation from week to week. I got to spend some time with him in the quarterback room. And so just seeing from the third week to the fourth week to the fifth week, just how he slowed everything down, how he was able to process everything and really just command the attention of the team.

Testimonials | Policy Information | Hall Insurance Agency, Inc.
Thank you so much for having such a great business and making it so easy to be a customer. I say it every time I talk to someone from Hall Insurance but you guys are hands down the best and easiest company to deal with. Thank you for your impeccable customer service. You guys are truly one of a kind.
After 8 years paying the increasing premiums from a national insurance company, I felt it was time to visit an independent agency. I am so glad I chose Hall Insurance Agency. Little did I know how bad my insurance coverage had been, but after discussing my needs with a Hall agent, I got more coverage that suited my life style at a lower cost. I switched my homeowner's and auto coverage, which resulted in a saving of hundreds of dollars. I also was assured that my coverage would be reviewed annually to make sure my insurance needs were being offered at the most reasonable price. I would recommend you call Hall Insurance Agency to see what they can do for you. Sure glad I placed that call.
Even though I'd been with my insurance company for 15 years I decided it was time to shop out all of my insurance policies. I contacted Hall Insurance and Tom quoted everything for me: auto, home, life, commercial general liability, and commercial auto. The new policies had significantly better coverage and saved me thousands of dollars. The service was fast, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend using Hall Insurance. I couldn't be happier.
They saved me loads of money on my home AND auto insurance. I'd been with my insurance carrier for years and was reluctant to shop, but hundreds of dollars in savings and outstanding customer service helped me make the switch. They are family owned, so I always get someone friendly and helpful to answer my questions. Definitely call. You'll be glad you did.
We recently bought a home in N. Fort Worth. Hall Insurance Agency made the insurance shopping process easy. They quoted us with several companies and we chose the policy with the best rates and benefit for us.
I have worked with the great folks at Hall Insurance Agency for over 5 years and I must say that they are always prompt in responding to any question or need that I have had. I currently have my dental and my auto insurance with them. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for an insurance broker.
I have been a customer of theirs for years. Every time i have ever had an issue with my insurance policy, they have been there to help and answered my questions while i was on the phone. I currently have a health insurance policy from them. They made sure to find the best policy that fit my budget and coverage needs. I could ask nothing more. My agent was Tom Hall.
Excellent Service, and great company. I will definitely go back to them for a homeowner's policy when i buy my house.


In essence, my public relations and advertising agency could operate from any major metropolis in the country. I chose to launch J. Waylon & Associates here – and have remained here – because Dallas is a great market for young LGBT business owners. We have thriving LGBT community members and allies that consistently support gay-owned businesses. Diverse demographics and inclusive policies enable us to do business without interference that we may experience in other locations.
Oak Lawn provided for me a safe, comfortable neighborhood near the amenities and entertainment venues that I frequent. With close proximity to major streets and Love Field, coupled with a five-minute drive to my downtown offices, this seemed the best choice for my needs.
Considering the size of Dallas, it is a good idea to travel here and explore the numerous neighborhoods before making the move. I was lucky to find the exact area I was looking for, but it is a good idea to spend some time finding the best fit.
Oak Lawn is a sea of complexity and is in the middle of much transition. Maple Avenue is providing some amazing new hot spots, and the growth on Lemmon Avenue is adding some refreshing options for entertainment and dining. I've become a huge fan of Paul Martin's on Oak Lawn; incredible ambiance and a fantastic happy hour.
I am a native Texan with an unshakable pride for our state. I've lived in other cities in Texas, and while there may be some truth to the rivalry between Big D and Houston, I think we are all much more similar than we would like to believe.
Dallas is a dynamic launchpad for young entrepreneurs. Commerce is written into our city's DNA, and alongside numerous Fortune 500 companies, we have an abundance of thriving startups.
My passions are many and one thing that I love about Dallas is the ability to fully realize my passions on the daily. I love the outdoors, and I have the Katy Trail for that. I love collaborating with professionals, and the North Texas GLBT Chamber of Commerce provides me that opportunity. I'm a huge fan of the arts, and Dallas certainly has a thriving scene for those who appreciate the arts. When I have visitors from out of town, there are staples that they must see: Nasher Sculpture Center, Crow Collection of Asian Art, Dallas Museum of Art, and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. But on the regular, I am a huge fan of a hidden art gem in the city known as ArtLoveMagic, which showcases up-and-coming local artists, musicians and poets. The gallery on South Lamar is ever-changing and each month it hosts a special series. For live theater, I regularly follow Uptown Players for its talent casts and outrageous selection of plays. I'm also a huge fan of music, so I wouldn't be complete without a season subscription to Turtle Creek Chorale, an internationally known men's chorus with deep ties to the LGBT community.
The people. I travel often and encounter a lot of personalities, and when friends visit here I continually hear that we are so friendly.
What is it like to own a business in Dallas?
My offices are located downtown, which makes my commute to work negligible. We do a lot of work in politics and policy, so being close to clients and government offices makes for easy lunch and coffee meetings. When I do work in other cities, I am often reminded of how convenient it is to do business in Dallas.
Where many cities may work against someone with a dream, Dallas embraces and supports them. Opportunities here are boundless, and the city provides a spring board for growth and entrepreneurial experimentation.
I have a lot of friends that are considering moving here, and one of the first things they ask me is if it is a good location for young, successful gay men, or as it is commonly referred to as the "power gays." At first glance, a reference to the "power gays" may come off as arrogant or elitist, but neither of those things is accurate. A power gay refers to someone who normally has acquired a laudable education or excelled in his respective business, and uses that success to promote or support goodwill to the communities at large. By way of financial or political clout, a power gay promotes the advancement of LGBT initiatives through advocacy efforts, influence, or community leadership. Dallas has the largest LGBT population in Texas, so it is no surprise that we have a significant number of power players that are dedicated to achieving the goals of our communities.
Basically anywhere they serve Equality Vodka. They are a Dallas-based company that gives a significant portion of their proceeds to LGBT causes. Numerous restaurants and bars around Oak Lawn carry the brand, as well. If I know anything about Dallasites, it is that we love to socialize, and we love philanthropy.
I'm a foodie, so I enjoy searching for new patios around town. I'm a huge fan of Taco Dinner – in particular the one in West Village. This is a perfect place to people watch and make new friends. If I am entertaining with friends, we tend to escape to the patios at The Foundry or Rodeo Goat as they both offer larger patios with great energy. Another Dallas hot spot is Katy Trail Ice House, which is probably the best for people watching, and meeting new people; I enjoy the relaxed, eclectic crowd there the most. If it's more business related, I'll take clients to Henry's Majestic or Savor in Klyde Warren Park. I find myself being pulled to Klyde Warren Park often as it makes for a spectacular outdoor evening dining experience.
Black Tie Dinner is an annual fundraising celebration in Dallas that benefits 20 North Texas LGBT beneficiaries. It is the largest LGBT fundraising dinner in the country – having raised more than $21 million to-date – and the proceeds are distributed to critical nonprofits that work year-round within our communities. It is quite simply THE event on the gay calendar. This is the one night of the year when prominent leaders in LGBT communities gather, dressed to the nines, to honor the work and commitment of dedicated volunteers and nonprofits.
Highland Park Village seems to chip away at my pocketbook often, but I'm also a fan of mom-and-pop shops, and Bishop Arts has got that covered. Not a week goes by that I don't hop over to El Padrino on Jefferson for the most amazing tacos I've ever eaten. This was one of my favorite discoveries when I moved to Dallas, as it is hard to find authentic Tex-Mex. Epiphany for Men has some great causal options for weekend wear, and I normally take some time to check out Indigo 1745 while I am down there. They always have unique pieces that you can't find in other places.
NorthPark Center has done an incredible job with promoting new artists and their creations. Outside of a great day shopping, I equally enjoy the installations that have become a part of its venue.
Where do you feel you are nearest to your "tribe" in Dallas?
As a young gay entrepreneur, I feel most comfortable when I am around other creatives. Critical Launch and PrintBurner are two places that I find myself amongst my tribe; both run by creative geniuses, I get inspired each time I visit.
I work a lot but value the time I get to contribute to nonprofits or any opportunity to give back to a variety of issues. I have a soft spot for education and teach a government class at Richland College to empower young men and women to stand up and take their place in the world. Fortunately, my work enables me to interact with a number of different causes that are important to me.

Q: Adjectives After an Object That Comes After Transitive Verb I'm very aware of how verbs, indirect objects, and direct objects relate.
I gave Sam a ball.
Sam - indirect object and ball - direct object. Very simple! But what about when an adjective comes after a direct object?
I find her utterly repulsive!
What role does repulsive play in this sentence? Could this be one of those uncommon instances in which the adjective comes after the (pro)noun?

A: This is a predicative complement, a complement to the verb which predicates a quality (repulsiveness) or identity of another constituent. Transitive verbs like find, think, call usually predicate their PCs of the object; intransitive verbs like be, look, grow usually predicate their PCs of the subject.

I find DOher PCrepulsive.  I think DOher PCa hideous woman.
  She looks PCrepulsive. She is PCa hideous woman.

When we got an invitation from the Real Food Market & Deli in Helena to celebrate their 43rd Anniversary, we looked into the history of the store and got intrigued. Who was Laughing Water, the owner and driving force behind this store?
"I've had a lifelong interest in health, fitness and personal achievement. I was fiddling with diet and doing yoga an hour a day at age 13. I read Adelle Davis and became a vegetarian in my early 20s and worked in a natural foods collective in Champaign, Illinois, before living in Berkeley a couple of years. I was the main cook in exchange for a three-week yoga workshop at the Feathered Pipe Ranch near Helena, and India Supera, the owner of the Ranch, asked me to stay as the chef, then to help open a natural food store to supply the Ranch and then to run it. I didn't expect it to last."
"We've done a lot of good over the decades, and that comes from passion, principles and persistence. We had a niche. We helped grow it. And now it's become mainstream. So that's a massive success. But it's incomplete, or even going backwards in some ways. We need to have family businesses and family farms become the main way people get their food. That would mean transforming our food system into one that's socially and economically just, instead of being at the mercy of huge corporations that read our minds (big data) and dominate our lives."
Do you have a role model? Who and why?
"No. Through the Feathered Pipe Ranch, as well as the natural food industry, I've gotten to know some famous people, I've seen the price they pay for their success, and I wouldn't trade places. We're all human, and I'll take inspiration wherever I find it."
What gets you up in the morning? What do you like most about your job running an independent Business?
"Mostly I get up so I can do my two-hour yoga practice and eat breakfast early enough to get to work at a decent time. If I stay in bed long enough, though, I can get pretty inspired. I really think we're at an evolutionary crossroads. The human phenomenon, homo sapiens, is an explosion on any time scale longer than a decade. We can evolve into a higher life form, or this whole mess can collapse. We need to save the planet, and we live in a sick country.
What I like most about running an independent business is that I can make decisions based on that sense of mission."
"I think lying awake has more to do with physiology and full moons than my thoughts and feelings, but when I do lie awake, I've got the whole assortment, from unfinished New York Times crossword puzzles to how and whether I'll find true love to worrying how to find and retain good employees to sequential models of neural networks to family communication problems to all the maddening little details of living to all the puns and seemingly brilliant insights about mind and reality that pop into my head. So, you know, the usual stuff."
If you could give only one piece of advice to the person reading this, what would it be?
What is your favorite place in Montana?
"In your heart. With that I mean, that I really do like being in people's hearts. Maybe you may have wanted some thoughts more pertinent to business to business people, but we're people first, and it's a great thing when our businesses can be expressions of who we are."
What are the perks of living in Montana for you?
"Most people and things here, including plants, animals and acts of God, won't kill me. This does not seem to be as true in other places. I get to live a bikeable and walkable lifestyle. There's a lot of physical and social space to expand into who you are. And of course there's the whole backdrop of the natural world so intimately close."
We heard that your name comes from a song that popped into your head one day. We are wondering what the song was and why the name "Laughing Water" stuck with you so deeply.
"No song, but for brevity I've told people my name came from a poem of mine that said, "Flush the toilet that is your mind, and hear the laughing water." That image came from an early 1970s experience (you can imagine the circumstances) of following the sound of a toilet after flushing, as the sound became finer and fainter and took me to a place of pure empty-minded presence.
But I came up with that story after taking the name. Closer to the truth,you can think of it as an aesthetic or spiritual choice, more rooted in the experience of a forest stream and Taoist ideas of effortlessly flowing, taking the shape of whatever surrounding, following gravity and in that non-doing way, being of service and over time, making sharp rocks into round things, round like the cycles of water and life."
Thank you Laughing Water for your time and honesty to respond to our questions. We are very honored to be one of the vendors you carry in your store and to support your mission and vision of a thriving and sustainable community.


Hope Thompson has never recovered from being left by the love of her life, Nick Fortune. The man who fathered her twin children. When her son becomes ill she is left no choice but to contact Nick for help. Something which ties her up in knots.
Nick Fortune has succeeded in life, becoming a famous race car driver. When Hope originally contacts him, he's sure this is some kind of con. But after checking he realizes he does have two children that he's never known. He's beyond furious at Hope for never telling him about the twins and is determined to get to know them. However, as he does he finds that his feelings for Hope are still there and decides he wants to be a family. Can he convince Hope to give him another chance?
Boardwalk Summer is the first book I have read by Kimberly Fisk and I thoroughly enjoyed it. From the first page I wanted Hope to have the happy ending that had eluded her. And Nick still adored her and wanted to know his children. I loved watching Nick learn how to interact with teenage children, which is never easy! I do have one pet peeve, while Nick has gone on with his life, had other relationships etc…Hope has been frozen almost the same as when Nick left her. While I have no problem with Nick and Hope being each other's soul mate, it drives me crazy when the heroine of any story has no relationships while the hero dates all around. Kimberly Fisk has written a sweet romance with a happy ending that will keep me on the look out for new books she writes. I love a romance that leaves me with a smile on my face!

Diners will be able to enjoy a takeaway vegan pizza after a big name brand introduced vegan cheese.
Papa John's, which has branches in Colchester, Braintree, Basildon and Southend, has launched the vegan cheese option after a petition.
The petition was by animal rights organisation Animal Aid and vegan blogging and news website Vegan Food UK.
Animal Aid Campaign Manager, Tod Bradbury, said: "We are thrilled to see that Papa John's has reacted positively to our petition, and that they are looking to introduce a vegan cheese alternative very soon.
"By adding vegan cheese to their menu, Papa John's will be showing that they are up to date with the fast-growing vegan movement.
"We hope that Papa John's decision not only has a positive effect on their sales, but also encourages other pizza chains and restaurants who haven't yet introduced a vegan cheese to do so."
Vegan Food UK Co-Founder, Liam Day, said: "This news is not only positive for those who avoid dairy but still want to eat at familiar places, but also for the future of veganism.


I adore Youtube, it's a safe home for free speech, education and live cat streams. They've enabled anyone with a video camera to be discovered on merit alone and new young stars to have a viable career.
2016 marks 10 years since Google acquired YouTube. It seems fitting that the traditional gift for a decade of dedication is tin because Google hasn't made much more than that in revenue.
After 10 years, YouTube is still not profitable. That's crazy.
When YouTube stars first emerged it was incredibly exciting to think anyone off the street could make money and possibly even a career from the 'broadcast yourself' mantra. For a while, it seemed like the dream, but now YouTube stars are being lured to other platforms that invest in their talent and provide better advertising formats or sponsorship deals.
Creators are jumping ship because YouTube doesn't enable enough worldwide fill. A video star may get 1,000,000 views from Egypt, but they won't make any money. Their audience is either geographical or coincidental and nothing is gained from the view. There's no impetus to scale and the CPMs advertisers pay is too low.
When creators do hit that sweet spot and make money from their videos, YouTube takes a heavy cut – 45/55 split to be precise. That's a hefty sum to handover.
We've established it's crazy that YouTube isn't profitable. But, why? We've narrowed it down to these 6 deadly sins.
It's not like they haven't tried to be a central hub for premium content – they just haven't tried hard enough. For a while, Channel 4 had all its content on Youtube, but they removed it because they could earn a lot more on their own 4oD service. The login wall on 4oD gives them valuable first-party data and their existing sales team can sell directly without YouTube taking a cut. This is where Google's walled garden approach really started, it's not a fair model for any creator and many won't tolerate it anymore.
YouTube shut off access to other DSPs like Tubemogul last year. For creators, Youtube is incredibly easy and open, for advertisers it's really awkward. Buying a specific video, using your own targeting data, and your own viewability and verification vendors are just not going to happen. This is a historical problem.
When Google first bought Youtube they had a hard time getting their salespeople to actually push it. They were used to the easy money machine that was search and display. It wasn't until they made it 20% of the sales team's bonus that they actually got many sales at all.
A few years ago when it was hard to sell your own video ad space. Mid-sized publishers used to upload all their videos such as gadget reviews on Youtube, and then let YouTube take care of monetization. But as video SSPs like SpotX and StickyAds made the process of selling your own inventory easy, they've all gone back to using other hosting platforms like Brightcove or Ooyala. And YouTube just watched them go.
Whilst the revenue split isn't an ideal model, YouTube does a fantastic job of nurturing creators by providing free studio time. But a massive opportunity has been squandered. What wasn't grasped was the potential to connect brands to creators, instead they've just let them go to another MCN (multi-channel network such as Maker Studios or Fullscreen).
Love or loathe them, everyone knows how much vitriol YouTube comments contain. Automatically filtering content is incredibly tough, especially with so many cultures and languages. So, without the ability to whitelist, the risks to brand reputation are still there. Whilst recent changes have been made to remove monetization from videos that aren't 'advertiser friendly' – it's far from perfect.
Not a destination – if YouTube's 'home page'' was a holiday destination, we'd be asking for travel compensation. As an average user, your entry point to Youtube.com is via a link someone else has shared. The only reason to go there is to see the recommended videos and most people just watch embeds in other sites. It's not pretty, it's not particularly well thought-out, it's a bumpy ride. But, Facebook looked at the numbers of people clicking out to Youtube and decided they wanted in. Hence, launching Facebook video serendipitously with no content protection systems. This enabled people to simply upload stolen clips from YouTube and get massive views, all inside Facebook's wall.
The big one for me. YouTube engineers have created the best pre-roll format ever made. TrueView is loved by advertisers and tolerated by users. It's led to innovative creative that engages a user within 5 seconds. YouTube do small tests all the time with things like brand recall surveys and implement minor changes. But rarely do they ever see full production.
YouTube is pushing their subscription service hard and with a lack of ad revenue, it's easy to see why. However, they've landed themselves on a double-edged sword. If the subscription model is too successful, it will naturally cannibalize the ad business – disproportionately so. Those who can afford a subscription are generally those which advertisers will pay more to reach.
Herein we reach the zeitgeist. Facebook et al are throwing tons of money at live stream content. YouTube isn't a destination site that an average user spends tons of time loitering on, like Facebook so the use case is different. YouTube views are rather more like appointments, rather than a serendipitous opportunity in your news feed. Still, neither YouTube nor Facebook has a viable way to monetize live stream, interrupting the stream for a 30-second ad is not the solution. The time to make the bold innovation in ad formats to suit evolving watching habits is now.
YouTube may currently be the king of short form, but if they don't start shifting the goalposts, it won't take another 10 years before a blue logo'd upstart takes over. Whether it's building a better destination for users, innovating on ad formats or forging partnerships with those using YouTube content, something has got to give or the 20 year anniversary will mark nothing but another penniless decade.
Can't believe it's been 10 years of YouTube? Neither can we, but luckily, Coull's own Scott Mackay is never too far away to remind us what user content looked like back in 2006. And while this video is still fun 10 years later, Scott is yet to receive his millions – will future Scott be any better off?
In the advertising space, the ever-studious tech behemoth Google has a long history of calculated moves that make marked contributions to its bottom line. Each strategic tweak to its advertising products normally sees a groundswell of discussion followed by an almost immediate and widespread take-up by marketers.
Adwords has seen limited time offers, bulk uploads for multi-product sales, call-out extensions and call tracking all welcomed by media professionals. Elsewhere, Google has kept its DoubleClick product ticking over with the recent additions of viewability metrics, radius targets for location extensions, reporting for remarketing lists and support for Baidu accounts in DoubleClick Search.
While such features have been successful with marketers, the launch of YouTube's subscription service has stirred up some scepticism. There are benefits to the consumer, for instance it is easy to see the adblock generation paying $10 a month to purge pre-roll advertisements from their viewing experience. For marketers, though, the devil is in the detail.
Publishers are being incentivised, or coerced depending on your views, into supplying their inventory for the YouTube subscription model whether they like it or not. In a letter to YouTube Partners, Google gave video creators a decision to make – either they allow their content on to the subscription service or they will no longer be able to make revenue from YouTube's regular advertising model.
A bigger cut for publishers?
Google's ultimatum might not sit well with creators who see little to be gained from the ruthless terms. Only a small slice of YouTube's subscription fee is distributed to the publishers and even that is dependant on the amount of time people spend watching their channels. It is unlikely to be the catalyst for a mass YouTube exodus, yet it is possible that some aggrieved creators could abandon the video-sharing platform.
Publishers were already feeling the squeeze earlier this year when YouTube clamped down on sponsorship. In February the platform put a stop to "graphical title cards" by amending its ad policies. The only way a similar ad package might be permitted is if it is done through a full Google media buyout on the Partner content by the sponsor.
In addition, advertiser-created and supplied pre-rolls that are burned into a publisher's content, or other commercial breaks where YouTube offers a comparable ad format, have been banned. YouTube has said that it will stop monetization of videos that feature this outlawed content.
Last year YouTube owned a 20% share of digital video ads in the US alone and attracted $1.13 billion of video ad revenue, according to eMarketer figures. The last thing Google needs is for a misstep that sees some of this revenue and ad share divvied up among competitor platforms, especially when the site is reportedly unable to turn a profit. Unless the search giant backtracks on the terms of the YouTube subscription service, it could face a publisher revolt.
Aside from YouTube, there is a rich array of alternatives. One of the most popular is DailyMotion that boasts 128 million monthly uniques as of 2014 and counts Showtime, Buzzfeed and Mashable among its publishers. For the TV series content creator there is Blip, which was founded at a similar time to YouTube and on the other end of the spectrum business-centric Wistia assists brands in publishing video on their existing websites. All four are great options, but it is new platform Vessel that is making the most noise in 2015.
Vessel, launched in March by former Hulu execs Jason Kilar and Richard Tom, is taking aim at YouTube as it looks to capitalise on those exiting the video-sharing network. Dubbed The Fremont Project in its early days, Vessel features a $2.99 subscription option that offers ad-free video viewing and 72-hour exclusive access for viewers. There is an ad-supported tier for users who are unwilling to pay for a subscription.
Publishers are being drawn in with the promise of a 70/30 split on ad revenue for content that premieres as part of a 72-hour exclusivity window on Vessel. They will receive that deal for however long the content remains on the platform. Content owners will also receive 60% of the subscription fees that come from the early access period, which runs Tuesday to Thursday. Vessel puts publisher revenue earnings in the region of $50 per 1,000 views, a figure that is said to be 20 times higher than free web distribution.
Vessel is still in its embryonic stage and if it is to become a successful and viable alternative two things have to happen. Firstly, its user base needs to expand and this will come about through the site's USP of pushing out exclusive content. The big question here is, will users want to pay for this? The answer is an obvious "yes". You only have to look as far as television to see an example of consumers paying a premium to get access to their favorite series first.
When the number of users reaches critical mass, then Vessel will be an attractive proposition for more content creators and in turn advertisers. It is at this point we will be able to see if the platform can really take it to YouTube.

DOTA 2 – Breaks 1m Concurrent Players Barrier - Get2Gaming
Valve's MOBA title hits the one million mark over the weekend
DOTA 2 is the first ever game to hit the seven figure mark in the history of Steam. Over the weekend, the game hit 1,060,082 concurrent players. The only game to hit six figures was fellow Valve title Counter Strike: Global Offensive (434k) while several reached five figures, led by Team Fortress 2 (84k), Football Manager 2015 (74k), Garry's Mod (66k) and Civilization V (59k).
Despite DOTA 2's grand weekend success, it is still overshadowed by it's MOBA rival, League of Legends, which has hit 7.5m concurrent players previously. Be warned that this data is slightly dated now. Nevertheless, that rivals Steam's all-time overall concurrent users, which hit 8.5m at the start of the year. I think a congratulations is in order for the Steam crew! What a milestone to overcome and what a great game DOTA 2 is!

Babadag is een stad (oraș) in het Roemeense district Tulcea. De stad telt 10.037 inwoners (2002). Ze ligt op een dertigtal kilometer van de Zwarte Zeekust. Ten noorden van de stad ligt het Babadagmeer (Lacul Babadag) dat onderdeel is van het uitgestrekte complex van meren en lagunes ten zuiden van de Donaudelta.

Geschiedenis
De stad zou genoemd zijn naar Baba Sari Saltuk, een half-legendarische Turkse derwisj uit de dertiende eeuw. Babadag behoorde tot het Ottomaanse Rijk sedert ze in 1393 werd veroverd door sultan Bayezid I. De stad ontwikkelde zich tot een belangrijk handelscentrum. In 1488 werd er een mausoleum gewijd aan Sari Saltik ingewijd, dat een bedevaartsoord werd. De stad, die zwaar versterkt werd, leed nadien onder de strijd tussen de Turken, Walachijse vorsten en Rusland. Na de Russisch-Ottomaanse oorlog werd de stad in 1878 Roemeens. In de Eerste Wereldoorlog is ze van 1916 tot 1918 bezet door Bulgaarse troepen.

Het Roemeense leger heeft in Babadag een belangrijke oefenterrein. Sedert 2005 wordt dat ook door het Amerikaanse leger gebruikt, nadat Roemenië toetrad tot de NAVO.

They hit the home-run plays, toughed out yards and even dipped into the bag of tricks.
Facing their closest battle in quite some time on Saturday, Marin Catholic High's host of playmakers simply imposed their will on Analy, surging to a 48-20 home victory and earning a shot to defend the program's North Coast Section title.
And the fourth-seeded Tigers certainly gave a good punch. With their 20 points matching the most MC (12-0) has given up all season, Analy (11-2) became just the second team to finish within four touchdowns.
But the Wildcats, as they have all season, found an extra gear.
One that, after a slow start, was firing on all cylinders.
MC rolled up 592 yards on the afternoon, 299 of them on the ground.
Mahalak accounted for over two-thirds of that himself. The senior, now set to play in his first section title game as the starting quarterback, threw for 293 yards and four scores on 22-for-31 passing.
Much of that aerial yardage went to Andrew Celis (nine catches, 174 yards), who hauled in scoring passes of 15 and 33 yards. Mahalak also rushed for 121 yards on 10 carries, including a 52-yard touchdown jaunt at the start of second quarter, to complement the hard running of backs Sam Killpack (76 yards) and Darius Peterson (70).
The sophomore Peterson, who found the end zone three times, finished off back-to-back drives midway through the game to help MC assert control. Analy had hung around early on, with workhorse tailback Ja'Narrick James (83 rushing yards, 73 receiving) answering Celis' first-quarter TD with a short plunge to tie the game at 7-7. But after a 9-yard reverse by Kerr Johnson brought the Tigers to within 21-14 late in the second, the Wildcats worked a two-minute drill to perfection.
They capped it with a little razzle-dazzle, pulling off a perfect 13-yard hook-and-lateral.
Nick Heimbrodt caught a quick 6-yard out from Mahalak, then flipped it to Peterson, who squirted into the end zone to cement a 27-14 halftime lead.
And Peterson was glad to be a part of the magic.
The same can be said for the Wildcats' statement drive to open the second half, a 12-play march that gave them a commanding 34-14 lead.
Spreading the ball with the run and pass, MC converted three third downs in Analy territory and chewed up nearly five minutes of clock. Peterson scored on a 15-yard swing pass from Mahalak to make it a three-score game. Analy responded with a 3-yard touchdown scramble by quarterback Will Smith, narrowing the gap to 34-20 late in the third, but got no closer. Killpack opened the fourth with a 10-yard touchdown rumble, bursting through a huge gap up the middle to make it 40-20.
Jared Lazor then picked off Smith to stop a drive deep in MC territory, setting up a final drive that covered 92 yards in just three plays.
Mahalak ripped off 52 more yards on the ground and, one play later, hit Celis over the middle for a 33-yard touchdown.

Mechanical vs Performance Royalties
Henry Schoonmaker
Every musician knows they can make money from playing a gig or selling merch, but they don't always know the difference between the revenue their songs can earn. When you've finished a song (written, produced, or composed) and start to distribute your music, you're due royalties anytime your song is reproduced, used, or performed. These revenues are split up into sound recording or master recording royalties (the actual recording of the song) and composition or publishing royalties (the underlying composition--lyrics and melody).
For the purpose of this article, because our business is music publishing, we'll focus only on the royalty types earned from your composition. To learn more about master recording royalties, check out this help article.
Composition royalties are split into two main types of royalties: performance and mechanical royalties. As a songwriter, it's important to know the difference between these royalties and how you can collect them -- whether they are earned from streams on Spotify or a live performance at your local coffee shop. These publishing royalties make up a significant part of your revenue as a songwriter, performing artist, or songwriter representative.
As with all publishing royalties, your performance and mechanical royalties are based on a songwriter's ownership share of the song and should be discussed, determined, and agreed upon by all contributors on the song. Once the ownership share is agreed upon and finalized by all parties, it's best to put that information on a split sheet or some type of shared document.
The Seldom Talked About Royalty: Mechanical
Before the advent of music streaming services, mechanical royalties were generally licensed and collected between record labels and music publishers. Because of the name "mechanical," and this historical relationship, many songwriters don't realize that there is a mechanical royalty payable every time your music is streamed.
Broadly, mechanical royalties are generated when your song is reproduced in any form. When your song is reproduced in a physical format, like a CD or LP, or a permanent digital download, like an mp3, your record label (or sometimes your distributor) is responsible for securing the license to reproduce your works, as well as paying mechanical royalties to you (or your publisher) for each physical copy sold. Because a music stream, via a service like Apple Music or Spotify, is considered a reproduction, a mechanical royalty is earned for every stream, but in this case the service itself is responsible for licensing your compositions and paying mechanical royalties to you or your publisher. These mechanical royalties are collected and distributed by a mechanical rights organizations (MRO) or an organization like the Harry Fox Agency (HFA) or Music Reports (MRI), who administer mechanical licenses in the US.
Outside of the US, mechanical royalties may be collected by a Collective Management Organization (CMO), which handles both performance and mechanical royalties collection. In some territories, mechanical royalties are split between the songwriter and the publisher - while in the US, mechanicals are payable entirely to the publisher.
You can learn more about mechanical royalties in this blog post.
Mechanical Royalty Sources
While physical music products like CDs dominated the marketplace 20 years ago - and earned mechanical royalties for songwriters for every unit sold - today the primary source of mechanical royalties is music streaming. There are two types of music streaming services - interactive streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music, where the user entirely chooses what music is played, and non-interactive streaming services, like Pandora Premium or Tunein, where the user doesn't choose everything played, for an experience a lot more like listening to the radio. For non-interactive streaming (much like broadcast radio), there is no mechanical royalty paid, only performance royalties.
The rate at which songwriters and their publishers are paid mechanical royalties by streaming services are generally set by the government, or are determined by negotiations between publishers, collection societies, and streaming services. These pay rates will vary based on what type of streaming customer is using the services (i.e. paid or "freemium" customer) and what country the stream occurs in.
To learn more about mechanical streaming rates, check out this deep dive.
The organizations responsible for administering the mechanical licenses and collecting mechanical royalties, and those like them around the world, work closely with streaming platforms, like Spotify, to ensure you're collecting what is owed to you when your music is streamed. There can be a catch here: in order to collect these mechanical royalties, you generally need to have a music publisher or publishing administrator, or your own personal publishing entity. Traditional publishers or publishing administrators typically have relationships with these societies, making it easier to access these royalties, whereas an independent creator will not have direct relationships making it more difficult to easily collect what they are due.
YouTube is another important source when it comes to mechanical royalties. Because YouTube content is often audiovisual, they earn what is called 'micro-sync' royalties. If your music is synced in a video, it is technically a 'reproduction' of your work, earning you mechanical royalties any time a monetized video plays your song on the platform in addition to the micro-sync royalties. Similar to interactive streaming, you must have a publisher or publishing administrator to collect these publishing micro-sync royalties for you.
To learn more about this type of royalty type, check out this blog post.
You'll also need to cover your mechanicals outside of the US and, as an independent creator, this must be done through registering with each mechanical rights organization (MRO), or collective management organization (CMO), in the country your song is being physically or digitally consumed in. Attempting to do this yourself can be tedious, costly, complex, and, if done incorrectly, a disaster.
Other often overlooked ways you can earn mechanical royalties include:
Ringtones/ringbacks
Recorded cover songs (only if your song is covered)
Film soundtracks (depending on your deal)
Karaoke recordings
Interactive greeting cards
Performing for Performance Royalties
Performance royalties are generated from public performances such as live performances, terrestrial (FM/AM) radio play, tv/film/advertising usage, and streams (both interactive and non-interactive). These royalties are collected and paid out by a writer's performance rights organization (PRO) or collective management organization (CMO). PROs and CMOs license the songs in their catalog and use performance data collected to allocate money to publishers and songwriters. Performance royalties are then paid out in two halves: Writer's share and publisher's share. (Note: in some countries outside of the US, performance royalties are split differently between writers and publishers, whereas in the US and in most cases it's 50/50.)
Remember that performance royalties (as are mechanical royalties) are determined through split sheets and the conversations you have with any co-writers on a song. Depending on what type of publishing situation you're in, you may only see a portion of the publisher's share of the performance royalties. However, you'll always collect 100% of your songwriter royalties, or the writer's share, directly through your home collection society.
When your song generates performance royalties outside of your home territory, your domestic collection society will obtain these royalties through reciprocal agreements with the collection societies in those territories and countries. However, these are just data-sharing agreements, and may not guarantee that you'll collect all of your performance royalties worldwide.
Other ways you can earn performance royalties include:
TV (royalties are paid by the TV station for the broadcast of a show, film or commercial that includes your music. This is not to be confused with the sync license fee, which is determined and paid up front to secure the music usage.)
Streaming (Interactive and Non-Interactive)
Internet/Terrestrial Radio
Stores/Restaurants
Elevator music services
Digital Jukeboxes like TouchTunes
Don't forget that to get paid for your live performances, you must submit your setlists to your collection society
Wrapping Up Royalties

The music industry can be overwhelming and confusing to new writers (sometimes even to professionals) and having a good system to check your revenue streams is vital.

Zuckerberg Apologizes to EU for Facebook Missteps
May 22, 2018 BARBARA LEONARD
EU, Facebook, Fake News, privacy
(CN) — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told the European Parliament on Tuesday he regretted the company's role in recent privacy and political scandals.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (center) testifies in Brussels on May 22, 2018, before the EU Parliament.
Whether it was "fake news, foreign interference in elections and developers misusing people's information, we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibilities," Zuckerberg testified.
"That was a mistake, and I'm sorry for it," he added.
Broadcast live from Brussels, the forum occurred a month after 34-year-old Zuckerberg faced a similar dressing down in U.S. Congress.

Before agreeing to answer questions from EU parliamentary group leaders, Zuckerberg had sent a senior official to speak to the British parliament and offered to do the same in Brussels. The EU assembly insisted on hearing him in person.
EU Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee President Claude Moraes called the public broadcast of the hearing "very significant." It had originally been set to occur behind closed doors.
