BPI, MPA and ISPs go VCAP against P2P while DEA is still MIA
Darren Meale Friday, May 16, 2014 - "three strikes", copyright liability for ISPs, Digital Economy Act, internet piracy
While this Kat was busy in Hong Kong hosting an INTA Table Topic discussion on battling online infringement, news emerged of progress in talks between UK ISPs and rights owners on the development of a voluntary "four strikes" (but no "out") anti-piracy regime. There's not much of definitive substance to report yet, but here's a heads up from my colleague Will Corbett and me.
As noted in the 1709 blog, the BBC recently reported on a leaked document suggesting that UK music and film industry representatives are close to reaching a deal with UK ISPs on a voluntary scheme for addressing unlawful downloading by UK Internet users.
The VCAP's strikes will lack this sort of impact
The scheme is being developed in parallel to the regulations which will govern the operation of the UK's Digital Economy Act 2010 (DEA), regulations which probably won't appear until the end of next year at the earliest. The DEA followed an earlier failure by the ISPs and entertainment industry to agree voluntary measures, but they are now back on the table.
The DEA was/is set to involve ISPs sending out increasingly angry letters to subscribers who are caught indulging in peer to peer file sharing, with repeat offenders going on a naughty list which rights owners could peruse to choose the juiciest targets for follow-up litigation. "Technical measures", to include bandwidth throttling and temporary disconnection, were envisaged as a next phase, but there is currently no timetable at all for their appearance.
The voluntary measures under development are called the Voluntary Copyright Alert Programme (VCAP), and if the BBC's report is anything to go by represent a step back from what the entertainment industry was originally asking for. Letters would have told repeat infringers about possible punitive measures and ISPs would have made available a database of known illegal downloaders, opening the possibility of further legal action against individuals. But what the BBC is reporting as the final draft of VCAP contains neither of these things. The BBC reports that 'letters sent to suspected infringers must be "educational" in tone, "promoting an increase in awareness" of legal downloading services.' The language of each letter will increase in "severity" but will "not contain threats or talk of consequences for the accused users". Up to four letters may be sent to particular users, but after that ISPs will do precisely nothing. The entertainment industry will also contribute up to £750,000 to each ISP to set up the system and up to £75,000 a year to keep it running.
Piracy is everywhere
On the entertainment industry side of the negotiations is the BPI (representing the British music industry) and the Motion Picture Association (MPA). Four of the UK's five biggest ISPs are involved – BT, Virgin, Sky and TalkTalk – while the fifth, EE, appears strangely absent.
The VCAP comes across as a bit of a damp squib, which is something of an achievement given how disappointingly absent the DEA has been the past four years. Of course, such a light touch system may be a stroke of genius on the part of the entertainment industry. The BBC cites a commentator's speculation that the entertainment industry has agreed to this deal in order to collect evidence that a voluntary approach simply cannot produce results, thereby providing justification for pushing through stronger legislation-backed measures under the DEA.
As ever, the IPKat and friends shall keep you posted.

Bristol and London-based Quinn Clinics has launched a new and exclusive treatment for facial rejuvenation. Dr John Quinn's Q Lift combines ultrasonic skin tightening, facial volumising and anti-wrinkle treatments to create a more youthful look.
The Q Lift is a 3 in 1 treatment, using a selection of approaches together for a greater overall impact. The results are dramatic, yet we are careful to ensure that the finished look is natural and flattering, never over-done.
Dr John Quinn, founder of Quinn Clinics in Bristol and London, has created a brand new and exclusive facial rejuvenation programme – the "Q Lift" - to tackle the key signs of facial ageing without the need for surgery.
The Q Lift programme starts with Ultherapy® ultrasonic skin tightening on the lower face. This new treatment uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate the skin, triggering the body's natural healing and regeneration responses and boosting collagen for firmer, tighter and more toned skin. This creates a noticeable 'lifting' effect which can rejuvenate the whole facial appearance, improving definition around the jawline for a more youthful profile.
Then the new Belotero Volume hyaluronic acid dermal filler is used to replenish lost volume, redefining facial contours such as the cheekbones, while softening ageing facial hollows which can appear in the temples or cheek area. This new treatment looks particularly natural and flattering, creating a softer look and blending away harsh lines and wrinkles.
Finally, anti-wrinkle injections are used to lift the eyebrows. As eyebrows tend to become lower with age, this instantly opens out the facial features for a younger look, but Dr Quinn is careful to ensure that the result is flattering and natural, not overly lifted.
Quinn Clinics offers an extensive range of cosmetic and medical skin treatments at their London clinic in Blackheath/Greenwich as well as their original clinic based in Clifton, Bristol.
Quinn Clinics was established in 2006 in Bristol by founder Dr John Quinn. In 2013, a second clinic opened in Greenwich (Blackheath, London). Both clinics are registered with the CQC (Care Quality Commission), meeting very high clinical standards throughout.

The Only Begotten and Firstborn among Many Brethren
In Emmanuel, the second anthology of Bishop Athanasius' articles to appear in English, His Grace explores themes of Orthodox Christology, Soteriology, Ecclesiology, and Gnoseology. How can we know Who God is? How can we know who we are, as human persons created in His image and likeness? How can we become one with Him? Bishop Athanasius examines these and other foundational questions in depth in this volume, drawing from a wealth of Scriptural and patristic sources. In discussing diverse theological subjects, he always returns to his overarching theme: the communion that man can have with God through Jesus Christ the God-man, within Christ's Church and above all in the Holy Eucharist. His exquisite and unique way of engaging the reader in mutual dialogue, with the living Eucharistic experience permeating his every thought, instills in the reader a burning desire for that communion.

Who knows? Maybe he got tired.
and the darkness of the sea.
Time is a reliable watchman.
Sets it on the path.
And God called it Hiroshima.
and desire shudders beneath the soil.

Now is the time for rest.

and on the waters, the winds of Sodom.

One foot in the sand.
A green star in green air.
Between them the curtain rises.

Long ago, a Greek philosopher called Heraclitus said, "in the same river we step and do not step". By this statement, Heraclitus expresses his view of the nature of reality. As it is the case with the river that its water flows constantly, and is constantly replaced with new water, so is reality in permanent change. The same principle of change applies to the history of mankind. At present, the validity of this principle is most obvious. What we learn today, we have to forget tomorrow, due to the hectic discoveries and inventions, or else we would sink into backwardness and primitivism.
What is the cause of all this hectic change? Its cause could be traced back ultimately to the collapse of the metaphysical tradition.
What has been the role of metaphysics? Throughout its history, the metaphysical has been considered the foundation of the physical. In its light, the universe has been given a purpose, the events of nature have been explained, all questions have been answered, and the human life has been guided and evaluated. In this sense, metaphysics has been the castle in which man used to feel protected against all danger, even the danger of death.
But as Heraclitus states: nothing is permanent except the law of change itself. Gradually, the metaphysical heaven started to embrace heavy clouds. Its stars, its moons and its suns became dark and darker, from the north, the cold winds started to blow, and finally night and more night started to fall on the surface of the earth covering its rivers, valleys, plains, mountains, everything including the metaphysical castle.
What factors initiated the cold winds of the north that extinguished the flame of metaphysics and its light? Several factors, most important of which is the scientific revolution based on the principle: Back to facts. This principle implies that knowledge in its absolute sense is established on the ground of the factual. Only the factual is real, and so the true object of genuine knowledge. As such, the scientific revolution has conduced to the general conviction that the metaphysical sun, being metafactual, has started to loose its validity, its warmth and its light. As a result, the metaphysical had to be replaced with the physical, the heavenly with the earthly, and the omnipotent God with the "omnipotent" man, manifesting his "omnipotence" in his absolute self-assertion, in the form of hectic struggle for the conquest of the earth and its cosmos.
For the sake of power and more power, the modern man has devastated the surface of the earth and its depth. For the sake of power and more power, the modern man has opened deep wounds in the body of the unlimited space, thus depriving it of its mystery. For the sake of power and more power, the modern man has polluted the body of nature and its soul. For the sake of power and more power, the modern man has deprived nature of its symbolic touch, thus reducing it to a system of dead facts.
In this struggle, the winner will be that one, whether an individual or a nation, whose scientific knowledge and technology is better developed, confirming by this Bacon's statement, that knowledge is power. For this reason, the hectic competition for the acquisition of more advanced scientific knowledge and more exact technology is unavoidable, thus forcing the man of modernity to keep on going, even running, without having the time to build up a system of habits as a shelter, as a roof under which he can sleep in peace.
Certainly, this critical approach to the scientific spirit of the modern man should never suggest the necessity of renouncing all scientific search an research. Rousseau's statement: "Back to Nature" is not tenable. Any attempt of this sort would be a kind of madness. This critical approach intends only to wake up the scientific eye from its scientific slumber and help it see the pending danger.
The danger does not lie only in the invention of the most destructive weapons, nor only in the outbreak of irremediable diseases, nor only in the distortion of the beautiful and mysterious face of nature, nor only in the possibility of the most inhuman wars. Surely the already mentioned factors, and still others, form possible sources of danger. But the real danger lies in the possibility of getting conditioned to the belief that reality is confined within the walls of the factual, of what could be calculated and measured, forgetting by this belief that mysterious horizon which encompasses everything, without being itself the object of calculation and measurement.
How to avoid this most dangerous danger that knocks at the door of the modern man loud and louder? Answer: when the man of this modern planet learns how to listen to the silent language of the mysterious horizon that escapes every possible definition. A distinctive way of doing this is the poetic word.
Strange! How can the poetic word perform this most difficult and complicated job? How can such a word, so fine and so transparent, be the rescue? What is the poetic word?
The poetic word speaks. Its language transcends all linguistic rules and regulations, all political –social- moral engagement, all transitional – emotional experiences of the individual, and all kind of occasional entertainment and amusement. The language of the poetic word is unspoken, it is the silent language of the mysterious horizon. In its silence, the mysterious horizon continues to speak. Throughout the seasons, it keeps whispering, winking to the passers – bye. But the majority are deaf and blind, overswept by the loudness of the market and the haziness of the daily existence. Of the few who have sharp ears and pure eyes to hear the whisper and see the sign is the poet.
The poet hears the silent language of the mysterious and interprets it in his own word. The interpreted language of the mysterious would wake up the human consciousness to the vision that reality is cosmic and boundless, thus liberating the mind from the iron barriers of the factual. The poetic word reminds the man of the contemporary planet of the boundless mysterious and directs him to the road of endless questions. As the way to the mysterious, the poetic word "forces" man to stop, to wonder, to think. The fact does not think, technology does not think, the calculative intellect does not think. The poetic word, as the silent language of the mysterious, moves toward the mysterious, uncovers the mysterious, establishes the mysterious on this earth, and puts the mysterious in question. The poetic word thinks. It continues to think throughout the ages, the epochs, the generations, throughout the times. It continues to call the man of this earth to the road of the mysterious, saving him from the suffocating smoke of the factual.
At this point, we seem to have gone astray, namely to have deviated from the main direction suggested by the topic of this discussion, which is: "Poetry of Tranformations and Transitions." This deviation will turn to be only apparent, if we try to remember what we have done so far.
Our starting point has been Heraclitus principle of change, that this principle is most obvious in the modern times, that its cause in the modern times is traced back primarily to the collapse of the metaphysical castle, that the collapse of this castle is mainly the result of the scientific revolution based on the cult of the fact, that the cult of the factual sends the mysterious horizon down into the darkness of memory, and finally, that the poetic word uncovers the mysterious and reminds the modern scientific eye of its existence, thus saving it from the suffocating smoking of the factual rituals.
The rescuer from the smoke of the modern cults of the factual is Poetry.
Fuad Rifka born 1930 in a small village in Syria studied filosophy in Beyrouth and got a doctoral degree in Tübingen/Germany. Rifka is one of the most importent innovators of modern poetry in Arabic poetry. Although he is a great connoisseur of Western, especially modern German poetry and translated poetry by Novalis, Hölderlin, Rilke, Trakl, his poetry is always flavoured with a metitave, Oriental perfume. His poetry has been published in French, in English, in German (Heiderhoff Verlag).


The Right Hon Alexander Montgomery Carlisle, who died yesterday in London at the age of 71, was a Belfast shipbuilder and engineer of distinction, who rose to be general manager and chairman of Messrs Harland & Wolff. He was a man of strong convictions, and on one memorable occasion addressed the House of Lords from the steps of the Throne. Last November he took a chill while visiting Doorn to see the ex-Kaiser, and was confined to the house for a time, but over-rated his strength and went out too soon. He had known the ex-Kaiser before the war, and was his guest at a famous supper party after the Kiel Regatta.
Born at Ballymena, County Antrim, on July 8, 1854, the eldest son of Mr John Carlisle, he was sent to the Royal Academical Institution, Belfast, of which his father was headmaster. At the age of 16 he was apprenticed to Messrs Harland & Wolff, and during the next 40 years held successively the positions of chief draughtsman, under manager, shipyard manager, and finally general manager of the whole business, and chairman of the board of directors. It was a period of great development in the yards, during which many famous liners were built, and in this work Mr Carlisle took his full share. He designed the White Star liners, including the Titanic.
In 1879 his sister, Margaret Montgomery Carlisle, married Mr William Pirrie (afterwards the late Lord Pirrie), who had become a partner in Harland & Wolff in 1874. Mr Carlisle retired from the general managership and chairmanship in 1910, but remained as adviser and consultant. He was a member of the Departmental Committee on Accidents in Factories and Workshops, 1908, and of the Merchant Shipping Advisory Committee on Life-saving Appliances, 1911.
Mr Carlisle was a member of the Royal Thames Yacht Club. He married Edith, daughter of Mr J.B.Wooster of San Francisco, and had one son and two daughters.

Is Light Rail The Third Rail in Waukesha Co. Politics?
Posted by James Wigderson | Feb 28, 2018
By James Wigderson for Media Trackers
Waukesha Common Council President Aaron Perry and Milwaukee Common Council President Ashanti Hamilton recently collaborated on an op-ed that appeared at OnMilwaukee.com celebrating a new spirit of cooperation between the two cities as a result of the deal allowing Waukesha to purchase Lake Michigan water from Milwaukee. However, Perry and Hamilton might have carried that new spirit of cooperation too far for Waukesha County residents.
Hamilton and Perry wrote:
For example, there's no reason why we cannot have a regional approach to transportation needs. With the huge level of investment we are seeing (Foxconn, Downtown, Bucks arena, etc.) in developments and infrastructure, we must strategically adapt our transportation system appropriately or face new problems.
In that vein, we also hope to begin a serious discussion about a future rail system that can move workers and citizens efficiently throughout the region. Minneapolis, St. Louis and Atlanta are just a few of the large cities and regions with commuter rail systems in place and working well. We are excited about our economic and job growth, but we have to be able to get to point A and to point B in an efficient way. Why not here?
However, Perry's ambition for regional transit would face tough opposition in Waukesha and would receive little political support.
When asked if the city of Waukesha had any discussions with Waukesha County, Milwaukee County or the city of Milwaukee regarding regional transit, Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly replied with a simple, "no."
Shawn Lundie, chief of staff to Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow, was even more blunt. Lundie was also asked if the county had explored a regional commuter rail plan with the city of Milwaukee or Milwaukee County.
"No, Paul Farrow would like to remain the Waukesha County Executive," Lundie replied.
Regional light rail was last seriously discussed when John Norquist was the mayor of Milwaukee and Tommy Thompson was the governor of Wisconsin. After Thompson declared that no state funds would go to fund light rail in Milwaukee, the dream of connecting Milwaukee to Waukesha came to an end, in large part because of opposition from Waukesha County and the Milwaukee County suburbs who were expected to pay for the light rail system.
The federal funds were re-purposed to improving the Milwaukee County bus system and to help build Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett's streetcar.
Plans to create commuter rail serving Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha were effectively ended when the Republican-controlled legislature effectively killed Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs) in the 2011 budget bill. While there has been talk of bringing RTAs back because of transportation needs for Foxconn, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) has said it is unlikely to happen.
"The first time (Democrats) tried to put this through, they were not successful, even when Democrats controlled everything," Vos told the Racine Journal Times. "There's been such strong opposition to an idea like this, I can't imagine it moving forward since I've had almost no one from my district say that they want to have unelected taxing authority."

(NAPSI)—Chances are your job makes you sick—literally. According to one recent survey, conducted by Morar Consulting for Staples, 73 percent of American workers report catching a cold or the flu at work. Fortunately, there are ways employers and office managers can reduce this risk for employees. To help maximize total well-being this season, Staples, along with Feng Shui expert Susan Chan, created energy-enhancing tips for your office space.
• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the flu virus can live for up to 48 hours after being left behind on a surface, so make sure employees have access to surface-cleaning wipes and hand sanitizers.
• Fixes that improve air quality not only help overall office health traditionally, but also holistically, by improving energy flow. Solutions include: dusting air vents regularly, opening windows whenever possible, introducing plants, which are natural air purifiers, or purchasing air purifiers and filters.
• Replace fluorescent lighting with full-spectrum lights (lighting that mimics natural light) or add a full-spectrum lamp to your desktop to use during the day. Office managers can use the Staples Business Advantage program to purchase these lights for the office.
• Use upward-facing lighting as much as you can. Chan says it lifts chi and overall energy.
• Introduce revitalizing colors. Green and purple are considered wood elements in Feng Shui. Lush and healing, wood elements bring the energy of vibrant health, vitality and growth to a workspace. Yellows, Chan says, promote health and help you feel grounded. These colors can be added in the form of photos, images or accent pieces such as desk accessories.
• Add natural elements such as living things to common areas, like plants or a fish tank, to promote optimum chi.
• These tips can apply to employee workspaces and common areas. Keep common areas such as breakrooms and conference rooms uncluttered to help workers feel smooth energy.
• Encourage staff to return things to where they belong to stay focused and conscientious.
• Keep the doors to conference rooms open between meetings to promote airflow.

Continuing in a summer reading—and summer reading promotion—vein, Dan Zettwoch's first graphic novel provides a stunning array of possibilities: a summer-visit-to-the-country marbled with social and political commentary and served up with intriguingly detailed but accessible schematics of cell tower construction, live bait farming and lifestyles doomed by commercial zealots as well as the weather. Covering more ground (and airspace) than most 64-page-long stories can muster, Birdseye Bristoe also shows off such tightly worked consistency in plotting, visual exploration, and science lessons that it can snare readers in search of character-driven tales, mechanical information or a launch pad for intelligent discussions of faith-based commercialism.
The appeal factors here offer numerous hooks as a display anchor. Point younger teen boys to your magazine alcove, if it includes backfiles of old Popular Mechanics (the end papers here will have given them a taste of the peculiar ads they'll find there). Got a career database that needs some pushing? Reading here about Sonja Pike's ascendancy as a crane operator offers a genuine example of how to apply personal devotion to an earning capacity. With so much news about the conflation of church memberships and social agendas, there's a heaping serving of intrigue in want of mining through thoughtful analysis here. And speaking of mining, the explanation of how steel is made and tempered for high rising communications towers lies in wait for other materials you might own; Bruce Springsteen's Youngstown may be hiding in your music collection.
I'm not going to delve into the craft and innovation possibilities for old soda bottles suggested here except to say that, with a dozen bungee cords on hand to go with those three-liter plastic jugs, you could throw one heck of a maker space book party!

Lately I've been in a reading rut. Don't get me wrong-- I'm still reading. I read at work on my breaks, but I gravitate towards a very specific literature while at work: humor. I like a quick laugh during my busy, fast-paced days to take the edge off. Tina Fey's Bossypants introduced me to just the right kind of escapism I needed. I savored her memoir, stretching it out over increments for weeks. When that came to an end, I picked up Chelsea Handler's My Horizontal Life, and though it's a coarser, more sexually-driven memoir, it still gives me a good laugh. Next on my list is David Sedaris' Naked. But like I said, those are my work reads; I've been avoiding reading on my days off. Every now and then I hit these reading dry-spells, usually after reading a series consecutively or after a really dense text. So I'm not gonna force it, and I'm just keeping the books on my Summer Reading List shelved for now.
However, that doesn't mean I've strayed from my bookish ways. After losing a few hours of my life on Pinterest the other night, I was feeling crafty. Tired of being a spectator, I wanted to to participate. My favorite board is my Because I'm a Bookworm board, and after adding a few new pins and drooling over the old ones, I felt inspired. So, I dug into my ridiculously large scrap-booking hoard and got crafting.
I made the shorter two first. They were cute, but I wanted my next two to have some height. Action shot! bahaha.
Yes, you read that correctly; it's directions on how to ride an ostrich. You can peep the directions in Bunty Cutler's 211 Things a Clever Girl Can Do. A hilarious and educational read.
There you have them. My new bookmarks. I figured it was high time I started using real ones. I always use paper scraps like shopping lists, junk mail, and napkins. I avoided putting too much detail into my new bookmarks as I don't trust myself not to lose them, and I don't want to cry over lost hours of creative genius. I'm also a believer in "less is more" when it comes to bookmarks. My mother used to buy me really beautiful, elaborate ones as gifts, but I would quickly become annoyed by the ribbons or the indents left in the book's interior from ornate embellishments pressing into the pages.
I forgot how fun it is to play with scissors, paper, and glue. I was riding a nice little crafting high afterwards [don't worry, the glue was non-toxic Elmer's, haha], and I couldn't help but beam with pride at my new bookmarks. 'Funny how something small and simple can be so invigorating.

Paranoia and Trauma Reawakened in First Full Trailer for 'RESURRECTION' Starring Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth
Following last month's teaser trailer of writer-director Andrew Semans' (Nancy, Please) sophomore feature Resurrection, IFC Films has today unleashed the first official full trailer for the Sundance smash hit bone-chilling shocker starring Rebecca Hall (The Night House, The Gift, The Awakening).
Hall has hit a high mark in the horror genre of late, and Resurrection looks set to repeat the runaway success of last year's The Night House, promising a rousing emotional journey fused with a Grand Guignol living nightmare, introducing audiences to Margaret (Hall), a woman living a perfectly successful and organized life, perfectly balancing her busy career with the demands of being a single mother to her fiercely independent daughter, Abbie. But despite having managed to balance everything until now, Margaret's meticulous balancing act gets thrown completely out of whack when an unwelcome ghost from her past, David (Tim Roth – Funny Games, Pulp Fiction), suddenly resurfaces, dragging the horrors of Margaret's past with him. Grappling with a spiraling fear, Margaret musters the courage to stand up to face the monster she's spent the last two decades hiding from, who has come to settle their unfinished business.
Resurrection promises to provoke sensations of chaos one minute and the deepest sense of familiarity the next when it releases through IFC Films in theaters and on-demand on August 5 before heading exclusively to Shudder in November 2022.
In the hopes of keeping your expectations high as we impatiently await the release date, we'll leave you with the aforementioned first full trailer below.

We all know that you absolutely, without exception, cannot lie on your resume. You'll end up like one of these guys: outed, shamed, and ultimately fired. End of story.
Or is it? Turns out there might actually be one exemption to the rule. As Chris Baglieri explains in this blog post, filling your resume with fiction might be the perfect way to plan out your career path and set professional goals for the year.
So, bizarrely, here's a step-by-step guide on how to lie on your resume.
At the start of every year, I do this thing where I update my resume with falsehoods. I lie, intentionally and boldly: proficient in X; launched Y; led a team and successfully Z'd. I mold it to perfection.
What do you aspire to achieve professionally this year? Add it to your resume. It's fine that it's a lie, because for once your resume isn't for a job application. It's for yourself, your own career development. Take care that whatever you add still fits on one page—ideally all these ambitious lies won't be lies for long, and it'll be handy to not have to edit too much when you do want to use it for job applications.
And in its perfect state, wrought with lies, I think about what steps I can take in the coming year to make it less fiction and more non-fiction.
Lying might be the fun part, but this whole exercise is only useful if you take it one step further and start plotting out how you're going to make these lies a reality. What projects do you need to take on to acquire the skills you want? Who do you need to network with to get said projects going? When do you need to get started to feasibly achieve these goals within a year?
I'm convinced this is the best career advice I have, a modern day version of 'dress for the job you want.' Craft your resume to how you want it to look, and then figure out how you're going to make that piece of fiction a piece of non-fiction in year's time.
The last and most important step is executing. Again, lying on a resume you send to an employer is unacceptable. But, using your resume as a way to hone your career development objectives is an interesting way to set yourself up for success.
Lying on your resume might not be a widely acceptable practice yet, but with this change of audience and purpose, one day it might be—and surprisingly, that'll be a good thing.

Q: Implement setOnClickPendingIntent from notification I build custom notification that contain button and i want to listin when user press on it.
The button should not open any activity but only logic staff like change song.
the Code:
        RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.notification);
        contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.toptext, nowPlayingTitle);

        //this not work
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, receiver.class);
        intent.putExtra("UNIQ", "1");
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
                this.getApplicationContext(), 234324243, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT)
        contentView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.imageButtonPlay,
                pendingIntent);
        notification.contentView = contentView;

        // this is to return to my activity if click somwhere else in notification
        Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MYACTIVITY.class);
        PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
        notification.contentIntent = contentIntent;

        mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);

I don't get the hang of the setOnClickPendingIntent what need to be in the second param?
How can i just call a function after user press on the button?
im probably missing something cause i dont understand the receiver side and what happend after user press

A: You are missing the fact that the button you created actually doesn't belong to your application. It is created in another context, in another process. There is no way it can call your function.
Instead, when the user taps the button, that pending intent is fired. You can catch it by your receiver (in your activity), check some parameters and do the action.
Or you can implement a service and handle this intent in background. I'd prefer this way.

A: thanks for quick answer. I try using receiver but it never fired.
The code is in the main question and i created for the reciever class the following code:
public class receiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
   Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
    }
}

but click on the notification never fire the receiver ( Test on debug mode )

How much are you contributing to Social Security?
For tens of millions of Americans, Social Security is an irreplaceable lifeline that ensures they can meet their monthly expenses.
According to data from the Social Security Administration (SSA), 61% of current beneficiaries count on their Social Security benefits for at least half of their monthly income. This figure is even higher for unmarried elderly individuals (71%). Suffice it to say that without Social Security income, the poverty rate for retirees would be a lot higher.
Yet America's most vital program for seniors isn't on the most solid financial footing. According to the Social Security Board of Trustees' report from last year, Social Security's Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust is expected to burn through its reserves of more than $2.8 trillion by 2034. This dwindling of Social Security's cash cushion down toward zero is what has led a lot of working Americans to believe that the benefit won't be around for them by the time they retire.
Now, despite this worrisome forecast, there is a bit of good news: Social Security isn't going anywhere anytime soon. While benefits for current and future retirees could be adjusted downward to keep the program solvent, payroll taxes ensure that Social Security will be there for future generations. As long as people keep working, Social Security will keep receiving fresh revenue that it can pay out to its eligible beneficiaries.
SSA data shows that payroll taxes comprised 86.4% of the $920.2 billion in revenue for the program in 2015, with interest income (10.1%) and the taxation of Social Security benefits (3.4%) making up the remainder. You'll note these figures don't add to 100% due to rounding. Assuming the Trustees report is spot on and the OASDI burns through its reserves by 2034, then interest income will no longer be a contributor, and practically every cent of revenue will be generated from payroll taxes.
Payroll taxes, which are officially known as FICA taxes, are paid by working Americans on their wages and earned income with the purpose of adding revenue to Social Security and Medicare Part A. FICA taxes total 15.3% for most working Americans, though a majority of them pay just half of that directly. Employers and employees typically split the FICA taxes right down the middle (7.65% each). The self-employed are required to cover the full 15.3%.
When broken down a bit further, 6.2% of the 7.65% coming out of your paycheck goes to the OASDI (as is a matching amount paid by your employer), while the remaining 1.45% goes to Medicare Part A (with, once again, an equal amount being added your employer).
The 1.45% payroll tax on Medicare has no upper income boundary, meaning it's collected on all earned income from $0.01 until your last earned dollar, regardless of how high that amount is.
For OASDI, the 6.2% is collected on earned income up to $127,200 (as of 2017). Any income you earn above that is exempt from the Social Security payroll tax. This top-end figure is linked to the National Average Wage Index and adjusted annually. The one exception is if there's no cost-of-living adjustment, in which case the maximum taxable earnings figure stays the same the following year.
That 6.2% of your paycheck that goes to Social Security can be broken down even further. Specifically, as noted by the SSA, 5.015% is paid to the Old-Age, Survivors Insurance Trust (OASI), with the remaining 1.185% being directed to the Disability Insurance Trust (DI).
Based on 2016 data provided by the SSA (when the maximum taxable earnings figure was $118,500), the average American wound up paying $2,463 into the OASI, and $582 into DI. Combined, we're talking about $3,045 paid into Social Security via payroll taxes each year for the average American. Another $712 was paid, on average, into the Hospital Insurance Trust for Medicare Part A.
In terms of maximum payroll taxes in 2016, no worker will have paid more than $5,943 into the OASI and $1,404 into the DI, for a grand total of $7,347. For the self-employed this maximum doubled to $14,694. Once again, there is no limit on how much a worker could pay into the Hospital Insurance Trust for Medicare Part A.
Increasing what Americans pay in FICA taxes is among the more than one dozen ways that lawmakers in Washington have suggested for keeping the Social Security Trust Funds from running dry. Democrats on Capitol Hill view it as one of the simplest solutions.
A number of lawmakers, including former presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), have suggested increasing the payroll tax cap. Clinton suggested creating a tax moratorium on wages between $127,200 and $250,000, then re-applying the Social Security payroll tax on any income above $250,000. Other lawmakers say that eliminating the cap altogether is the smartest solution. Doing so would mean that the rich would pay considerably more in Social Security taxes without a commensurate increase in their eventual payouts. It would, however, cover a good portion of Social Security's long-term budgetary shortfall.
Another possible solution would be an across-the-board increase in payroll taxes. The Trustees report estimated an actuarial deficit of 2.66% of taxable U.S. payroll for the OASDI in 2016. In plainer terms, that means a 2.66% increase in the payroll tax would cover Social Security's budget shortfall. This would require increasing workers' responsibility from 6.2% of their earned income up to $127,200 to 7.53% (1.33% extra, or half of 2.66%, since employers would cover the remainder). This idea hasn't proven too popular: A survey by the nonpartisan Voice of the People found just 19% support for a 1% individual payroll tax increase to 7.2%. One can only presume that an increase to 7.53% would have even less support.
It's likely that any long-term fix for Social Security will need both political parties in Washington to work together. This means it would probably include both additional revenue via payroll tax hikes, and a reduction in benefits for future retirees via an increase in the full retirement age. Only time will tell if Washington can make progress on a problem that's getting closer by the day.
