British-kids media brand and comic book Beano Studios is ramping up its branded content chops by launching kids-focused consultancy Bean no for Brands, after client demand.
Increasingly, clients, which have included Stella McCartney, Ted Baker and Harper Collins, are asking the company to create content, particularly short-form video, that sits outside the Beano ecosystem. The appeal for brands is Beano's rich data on its audience — kids between the age of 6 and 12 — which is hard to reach for legislative reasons.
Beano for Brands is hiring across insight, creative, content production and design, although the company was unwilling to share how many people are on the books. The division will draw on expertise within Beano Studio, which has 55 employees. It also creates TV shows, one running on BBC's kids channel CBBC, and another launching soon on pay-TV operator Sky.
The consultancy will work as a way for Beano Studios to upsell more services to clients. This summer, a campaign with mental health charity YoungMinds focused on the time when kids get their first cell phone at 11 years old. Beano Studios, in turn, created a new character for the 80th edition of its comic. The campaign was extended to a series of short-form videos and comedy sketches about starting a new school. This was followed by a Facebook Live video led by comedian Romesh Ranganathan aimed at parents around the subject of their kids starting school.
Beano Studios content, and the consultancy, is shaped by its a panel of 20 children, who are each paid £20 ($28) a month for a weekly 15-minute chat. It also runs Skype user testing sessions every six weeks with kids from its target demographic. These focus on a particular element of the site or app to understand how audiences respond to navigation or content types.
"They have made some good progress in getting their shows on TV and producing games," said John Thomson, head of media at Dentsu Aegis agency 360i, "but looking at their YouTube presence (21,000 subscribers) it doesn't look like they have a big audience to tap, and for brands, that matters." Beano claims a monthly audience of 5 million. According to Tubular Labs, Kids Entertainment and Animation content on YouTube in the U.K. is rising fast in popularity, with the first 30-day views for videos in October up by 35 percent compared with April's figures.
Beano has a clutch of strong characters, this brand heritage plays a role in why it's appealing to work with. Beano for Brands will create more content that is white labeled but to get the attention of agencies Beano needs to prove it's better qualified than production studios and creative agencies at creating content.
The number of media owners creating content that sits outside of their media channels will only grow as many have made investments in content teams. Only distributing within their media channels can be limiting. Although it's media owners in a defined audience or sector, like Beano Studios, that are the most attractive. In June, CNN launched its consultancy Reach and has been clear this doesn't nudge out agencies.
However, media owners moving into the white labeling space face difficulties. Long-term relationships and deep strategic knowledge of the client is needed, as well as efficiency.
"There's no one-stop shop that can fulfill everything, no matter who the audience is," said Wright.

Hindustan Copper targets nearly 5-fold output jump in 5 years
By Precious Kashmir on 15/01/2019 Comments Off on Hindustan Copper targets nearly 5-fold output jump in 5 years
New Delhi, Jan 14: Hindustan Copper is aiming to increase its ore production from 4.1 million tonne this fiscal (FY19) to about 20 million tonne by FY24.
The company hopes to achieve the five-fold production expansion by switching production from its main open-cast mine in Malanjkhand, Madhya Pradesh, to an underground mine, ramp-up in production at its other mines, and a few acquisitions.
HCL's open-cast mine in Malanjkhand is set to run out in a couple of years after nearly 40 years of operation.
The company has identified reserves of about 160 million tonne in the underground mine, for which construction is nearly complete and production could begin by September this year.
"We are going for an expansion in a big way," the company's CMD Santosh Sharma said. "The expansion will cost Rs 5,500 crore, which will be funded through a mix of internal accruals, raising of equity and debt."
Hindustan Copper, which also has its own smelting capacities, has struggled to raise ore production over the past decade.
The company is India's only copper miner even as private players such as Hindalco and Vedanta are the big players in smelting.
'Waste to wealth'
The company has also started production at the first-in-Asia copper ore tailing (COT) project, which processes the byproduct waste that is typically dumped after ore processing.
Through the project, Hindustan Copper aims to process 3.29 million tonne ore tailings and extract trace precious metals such as gold and silver through it, besides copper and silica.
"The plant can extract 1 kg of gold, 10 kg of silver and 5,000 tonne of glass-grade silica," Sharma said. "This could lead to revenues of Rs 220 crore and a profit of Rs 50 crore in the next fiscal."
Hindustan Copper has 70 million tonne of ore tailings accumulated over the decades of production.
Besides Sharma said that the company has also inked a contract with Railways to sell waste rock, also called overburden — rocks that are extracted during the mining process. Railways can use these rocks for making ballast, which is laid on tracks.
The company has 250 million tonne of waste rock at its Malanjkhand site.

Of course, we can add any MLS service our clients may need. Contact us for more information.
Using our custom solutions, Real estate brokers or agents who host with us can include a search of all the listings on their area MLS on their site. Optionally, we can also provide a search for only listings by a particular broker or a particular agent, so for example, you might to have a link to "Our Listings" and another one for "All Area Listings."
Agent111 allows agents to offer a search of their own listings and optionally include a search of the entire MLS if they want it.
Not only can visitors choose what kind of property (eg Residential, Commercial, etc.) they want to see, but they can choose multiple types and get the results in a single search. Search results include links to maps to the home as well as additional pictures and other information included in the MTRMLS.
We are pleased to customize the system to provide any special needs for a client. Please Note: MLS services usually require that anyone wishing to use this system sign a reciprocal agreement with them.
A custom solution also can include an "MLS Tracker" so visitors can "memorize" home searches and receive regular updates by email when homes that fit those searches are added to the MLS.
This feature allows customer to select a time-slot on a calendar when they would like to schedule an appointment to see any particular home. If the selected time is within 24 hours of the current time, the system will allow the appointment request to be scheduled, but will warn that such a tight schedule may not be met.
If the property is listed by the agency, it sends the appointment information to the listing agent.
If the property is not listed by the agency, but the customer indicates that they are using the agency as a buying agent, it sends an email to the agent the customer is using. If the customer doesn't have an agent yet, the email is sent to the main desk and an agent can be assigned.
If the customer reveals that they are using a different agency, and the property is not listed by your agency, it gives the customer a "regret that we can't help" message.
Once an appointment is made, reminders are sent 24 hours before the appointment to the agent and to the customer. The customer can opt out of the reminder process. After the showing, the agent is sent an email asking them to enter the results of the showing. The agent is periodically asked for this information until a definitive answer such as "Sold them the property" or "Will not be working with customer again" is given.
The customer is sent a followup satisfaction survey.
Each agent can review their appointments from a back-office administrative area. There is also a backoffice where an administrator can view all appointments and requests and can assign/reassign customers to the appropriate agents.
Some brokerages have found this system so useful that they use it to schedule all their appointments.

Group aims to help educate women, men who left polygamy
Brian Mullahy KUTV
A group, just several months old, is about to give its first scholarships to young people who have left polygamy. The money is modest, but the aims are much larger.
"I was just 20 and I left a polygamous marriage with my two kids," said Lu Ann Cooper, who along with other women once in polygamous communities, formed the organization Hope After Polygamy. "That first year was crazy."
She said she was born and raised in a polygamous family, and at age 15 became the fourth wife of her cousin. Soon, with two young daughters, no high school diploma, and hardly any money, she removed herself from the only lifestyle she had ever known.
It's a traumatic experience. We just need to give them the tools that they need to be able to work towards a better life.
She was able to graduate from high school, attend community college, and become a real estate agent.
Hope After Polygamy has been fundraising since June, said it's taken in roughly $10,000, and will give a total of $3,300 in scholarships to six people on Monday. It's also facilitating one person's quest to get a GED.
"I've wanted to do this for a really long time," said another founder, Julie Adkison, who also grew up in polygamy, left at 19, and has now graduated from college.
When you leave polygamy, you're socially awkward, you don't know how to interact with people, you don't know how things really work.
She described the experience as "culture shock," and signaled Hope After Polygamy could help fill a void.
"I like that we have this set up now," she said, "and where it's going."

Graviton treasury farming is the basis that the project's sustainability rests upon. In this article, we reveal a renewed, advanced approach to the treasury configuration which reflects our up-to-date understanding of what lies at the core of our community's expectations and needs.
Graviton governance and the way it is set up is going to have a major influence on the system during the entire lifetime of its evolution. Achieving sustainable growth that would place Graviton among the market leaders is a key priority for the initiators of the project. Launching a project with a flexible and robust strategy is crucial, as any kind of governance design that is too rigid or imbalanced at the start of the project may harm the whole system both in the short and long term.
Encouraging growth
Building a successful DeFi project requires a lot of right decisions. The incentivization system needs to be designed in a way that would make the community willing to be active contributors, while also filtering out malicious or apathetic actors.
In Graviton, for instance, users are encouraged for proactive work like creating liquidity pools and helping expand the ecosystem.
In addition, enough market making resources are needed to ensure liquidity growth.
It is also practically impossible to avoid marketing activities in this highly competitive industry, and highly skilled developers, researchers, and creators need to be motivated enough to dedicate their time to building the product, which makes it evident that sufficient funding is essential for success.
The funding mechanics should remain sustainable in the long term, supporting not only the team of contributors, but the entire community around the project. We envision several sources of funding and ways of managing it.
The concept of treasury farming inspired by DAOs is a self-managing approach to bootstrapping initial liquidity, which ensures an even value distribution to all its participants. This approach seems optimal for maintaining an inflow of resources that can be regularly converted into liquidity for the token.
Since Graviton is aiming to connect ecosystems together and bring in multiple large market players, there is a need for a mechanism that would allow us to involve them without diluting the shares of the community.
At the same time, the approach to funding must be balanced to demotivate any short-term dumping strategies and equalize the influence of the "big players" with the broader community. This is the main reason we are designating a separate allocation for strategic partners, ecosystems, and funds, to achieve flexibility in project funding, in provision of liquidity, as well as an increased utility and investment attractiveness of the GTON token. Now, alongside a 10% allocation to early birds, 20% of the allocation is assigned to strategic deals with ecosystem-level actors. This separation prevents large deposits from our strategic partners from diluting the shares of EB participants, which will result in a fairer and more even community-driven launch.
Governance roles and token allocations
Analyzing potential ways of forming the treasury, a hybrid approach with initial community farming and a separate allocation for Strategic Partners and Investors, which include ecosystem-level actors, VC funds, and AMMs, was identified to be the most promising means of funding.
Below is the design for the governance roles:
Graviton's governance roles and allocations
The EB share remains undiluted by regular backers, and with a new option for the strategic investors to have a separate fixed share, there is more opportunity for the core community to be first in line to secure a part of the planned emission. Graviton adheres to a fair initial token distribution through the Treasury Farming mechanics. The project has been launched with a deposit-only phase, meaning that there will be no difference in share distribution whether a user's deposit occurs at the beginning of the period or at the end, since farming itself is going to start at a later date.
Liquidity provision is at the core of Graviton and reflects its primary goal of incentivizing users to provide liquidity to wrapped tokens.
In the token wrapping process, assets from origin chains locked in bridges are sent to yield farming in various protocols and АММs, such as Curve, SushiSwap, PancakeSwap and others. Liquidity providers will receive LP tokens that will be automatically included in their portfolios and could be sent to Graviton farming. Liquidity providers' income in GTON will depend on the amount of earned LP tokens, as well as the asset, the pool, the exchange and the blockchain in which the exchange operates. Proceeds from this type of yield farming constitute a major source of rewards.
Providing strategic DeFi partners, funds and ecosystems with a share which does not dilute others will allow for preserving the community's impact and at the same time making consistent investment offers. All negotiations with such large-scale actors will be conducted transparently by the core contributors and multisig providers.
Although no deals have been made yet and none are planned until the end of EB, we have made plans to negotiate deals with representatives of large blockchains & ecosystems such as Fantom, Waves, Binance Chain, Huobi Chain etc, and their respective funds. Other potential collaborators are top-tier VC funds that could provide liquidity across the entire range of Graviton integrations, including LP for the assets of those projects from their portfolios that aim to branch out into cross-chain DeFi and can facilitate this process via Graviton incentive programs.
Operations & Core Contributors
The operational and development issues, especially at the early stage, have to be addressed decisively and quickly. To tackle these issues, allocation for operational and development needs is proposed. This category of farming shares will be managed by the core development team.
Below are the most likely potential expenditures that go under the Operations allocation share:
1. Liquidity on AMMs.
LPs will be encouraged to provide inter-chain liquidity for GTON, however for initial liquidity boost of GTON on AMMs, Treasury funds will be allocated, as described below.
2. Buybacks & Burn events
The proceeds from different kinds of farming could be used to buy back GTON in the market to redistribute among existing GTON holders.
3. GitCoin Grants for Devs
GitCoin is a platform that allows for finding and employing open-source teams to facilitate the development of blockchain projects. At later stages of expansion, Graviton can solicit services of GitCoin developers to accelerate product development.
4. Marketing Events: hackathons, meetUps, ambassadors' reimbursement.
Treasury funds expenditure
A key function of Treasury farming is to build an integral foundation for a sustainable financial architecture of Graviton in the future. Subsequently, an economic incentive system will form, incorporating new mechanics of farming, governance, and fee-based reward distribution.
The success and attractiveness of GTON is reliant on its initial liquidity, which will be formed from EB treasury funds. Stablecoins that are currently being locked in the treasury can be considered as collateral (backing) for GTON, which can be periodically released to redeem the token and add liquidity into AMM services (e.g. Uniswap).

The Shoes — французский музыкальный коллектив, записывающий танцевальный инди-поп. Образован в Реймсе в 2007 году авторами песен и продюсерами Гийомом Бриером (Guillaume Brière) и Бенжаменом Лебо (Benjamin Lebeau).

История
До создания The Shoes Лебо и Бриер были участниками рок-группы The Film, сформированной в Бордо в 2005 году. Гийом Бриер также входит в состав дуэта G. Vump вместе с диджеем Brodinski.

В 2008 году на их композиции, которые музыканты размещали в Интернете, обратил внимание Деннис Бонс, продюсер из Лондона, и вскоре на его небольшом лейбле 50 Bones был выпущен дебютный сингл The Shoes «Knock Out». В октябре того же года их трек «Let's Go» вошёл в шестой выпуск серии музыкальных сборников Maison, издаваемых лейблом Kitsuné. 4 ноября 2009 года специально для японских поклонников, которые «просто не могли больше ждать», группа выпустила альбом Scandal!, который вошёл в чарт Oricon.

В 2010 году дуэт выступил в качестве сопродюсера песни «Help Myself (Nous ne faisons que passer)» в исполнении французского певца, вокалиста рок-группы Louise Attaque Гаэтана Русселя; выпущенная на сингле, она добралась до четвёртой строки национального хит-парада Франции и была номинирована на премию «Виктуар де ля мюзик». Кроме того, The Shoes сотрудничали с Шакирой, Рафаэлем, Жюльеном Доре и другими исполнителями.

7 марта 2011 года группа выпустила дебютный альбом Crack My Bones на независимом лейбле Green United Music. Диск содержит десять треков, девять из которых записаны при участии французских и международных исполнителей, таких как Esser, Wave Machines, Primary 1, Антонен Тернан (из группы The Bewitched Hands) и CocknBullKid. Он провёл восемь недель в хит-параде Франции, где достиг 62-го места, и был номинирован на премию Prix Constantin, а также вошёл в десятку лучших альбомов года по версии журнала Les Inrockuptibles. В поддержку релиза вышли синглы «Stay the Same» и «People Movin». Видеоклип на песню «Cover Your Eyes» (режиссёрская команда — We are from L.A.) был награждён призом за инновации на церемонии UK Music Video Awards. Билеты на концерт The Shoes в «Ла Сигаль» 9 ноября того же года были полностью распроданы.

В начале 2012 года The Shoes выпустили «Time to Dance», третий сингл с дебютной пластинки, который стал первой работой дуэта, вошедшей в песенный чарт Франции; там он занял 31-е место. Британский режиссёр Дэниел Вольф снял видеосопровождение к этой композиции, а Джейк Джилленхол исполнил главную роль в клипе, сыграв жестокого маньяка, который убивал танцующих людей. В марте свет увидел совместный сингл дуэта с группой ALB под названием «Golden Chains». The Shoes выступили в концертном зале «Олимпия» 13 июня того же года.

Talk about an impact sub.
Eight minutes into the second half of their Allianz Football League clash with Dublin, Malachy O'Rourke freshened up his attack by bringing on two players.
The Monaghan fans in Clones let out a roar as Conor McManus entered the fray, but the young forward keeping him company would swing the game in the host's favour.
Last August, Stephen O'Hanlon came to the attention of many in the county when he scored 2-11 for Carrickmacross in the U21 club final. On Sunday afternoon, O'Hanlon made his mark on the national stage. Every Division 1 team in the country will have an eye out for him now.
Just 60 seconds after his introduction, and with Monaghan three points down, O'Hanlon soared higher than his own teammate and Dublin defender Jonny Cooper to claim an offensive mark.
O'Hanlon was not content with stopping there and taking a free-kick at the uprights. Instead, he spun and played on. He raced through on goal and finished coolly past Evan Comerford in the Dublin goal.
O'Hanlon could have had a second when Monaghan claimed another kick pass and turned right at the reigning champs.
The young forward received a pass, mere yards from goal, but opted to hand-pass to Shane Carey to swat one in as Comerford rushed up on him.
A goal and an assist all in the first five minutes of coming on. Some impact.
McManus prospered when being sprung off the bench, too. Monaghan sought him out for offensive mark passes and, when he caught the ball, their talisman took a breath, settled himself and curled over a couple of fine points from range.
Overall, O'Rouke's men made twice as many offensive mark catches than Dublin as well as dominating in the skies when defending. Crucial moments in a 2-13 to 1-13 victory over Jim Gavin's side.

The Alcoa Steamship Company, Inc., appeals from a decree in the admiralty, holding its ship, the "Alcoa Pilot," solely liable for a collision on the high seas, between herself and the four-masted schooner, "Lillian E. Kerr," owned by the libellants, Publicover and others, in which the schoner was sunk. The "Alcoa Pilot" was bound for New York through the Cape Cod Canal, in a convoy of four columns abreast of two ships each, the columns being 1800 feet apart and the second ship in each column 1200 feet behind the first; the "Alcoa Pilot" was the first ship in the port column. The collision was about seventy-five miles a little north of east from the tip of Cape Cod; it happened shortly after midnight on November 13, 1942. The weather was clear save for a bank of clouds to the west of the convoy, which was headed 260° true. There were three or perhaps four Canadian corvettes in attendance but their position at the time of the collision does not appear in the record, and they played no part in the result; and the "Alcoa Pilot" asserts that, had they done their duty, they would have prevented the collision. The wind was light, and out of the west; the "Kerr," which was bound to Halifax from New York with a cargo of coal, was on the port tack, all sails set, when the bluff of her starboard bow collided with the port bow of the "Alcoa Pilot" at an angle of about 90°. She slid along the port side of the steamer, her masts and sails falling, and sank astern within six or seven minutes with six of her crew of seven men. The survivor died, soon after he had been picked up by another vessel of the convoy.
Publicover arrested the "Alcoa Pilot." Her owner, Alcoa Steamship Company, Inc., impleaded the steamship "Rita," the second ship in her column; and the "Cyrus Field," the first ship in the column to starboard; and filed a libel against Publicover and the other owners of the "Kerr," and against the Western Union Telegraph Company, owner of the "Cyrus Field." It charged against the "Rita" that, although she passed so close to the "Kerr" that she must have seen the schooner in a sinking condition, she made no effort to rescue any of the crew. It charged against the "Cyrus Field" that her master, Delap, was the "commodore" of the convoy, and that he and his chief officer, Wright, who was on watch at the time, did not give the proper directions after the light of the "Kerr" became visible. Judge Goddard's opinion[1] contains a summary of the testimony (substantially all of which was taken by deposition), which we shall not repeat, and with which we shall assume familiarity in the following discussion.
We hold the "Alcoa Pilot" at fault on two counts, either of which condemns her: (1) Her failure to take action of any kind in season, and (2) taking the wrong action when she did act. As we said in Lind v. United States,[2] "all navigation rules presuppose" that each vessel shall be able to make out the other's course and speed, and they cannot be rigorously imposed when, as here, one of the two was completely blacked out. The case was one of "special circumstances,"[3] although it does not follow that the rules were in all respects in suspense. The "Alcoa Pilot's" story of what led up to the collision is that she made out a white light about two points off her port bow shortly or immediately after Shoberg, her second officer, came on watch at midnight. The master, Perry, was asleep at the time and Shoberg was in command until almost the moment of collision. He was on the upper bridge and was uncertain what the light was. He thought it might be on one of the corvettes, whose duty was to keep in advance of the convoy, clearing away vessels that might be in its path, and in general protecting it against enemy action; it might be the stern light of a merchant vessel; possibly it was an enemy decoy. In any event he and Franz the lookout on the bridge who was charged with watching from the port bow to the port beam closely watched the light for the next fourteen to sixteen minutes. Since the speed of the convoy was six and a half knots and the "Alcoa Pilot" kept her speed, the distance she travelled in that time was *675 between 9100 and 10,400 feet. Meanwhile the bearing of the light grew a little finer until it bore only about one point on the "Alcoa Pilot's" bow, when of a sudden it seemed to change to green and the need for some action arose.
This story is contradicted by the deposition of Wright, who was in command on the "Cyrus Field." He saw the light from the bridge for about eleven minutes before the collision, and he took two compass bearings: one of these was 242°, taken when he first made out the light, and the second was 235°, taken about six minutes later. (Since these were both compass bearings they needed no correcting for his own change of course meanwhile from 260° to 270°.) These readings are more reliable than those of the "Alcoa Pilot" for several reasons. In the first place they come from a more disinterested source, and in the second they place the schooner nearer to the course of the convoy, which, as will appear, was more likely. We assume that the four leading ships substantially kept their line so that, eleven minutes before collision the "Cyrus Field" was about 7200 feet from a line drawn across their bows at the time of collision. Apparently the "Alcoa Pilot" had closed in somewhat upon the "Cyrus Field" so that the distance between them was less than 1800; Shoberg thought that it had been reduced to about 1200, although it must have begun to widen when the "Cyrus Field" changed her heading to 270°. Be that as it may, even though the "Alcoa Pilot" was only 1200 feet to port of the "Cyrus Field" when the "Cyrus Field" was say 7200 feet from the position of the leading ships at the time of collision, if the light then bore 242° by compass from the "Cyrus Field," it could not have borne even a full point on the "Alcoa Pilot's" bow, probably not more than half a point. In proportion as the distance between the two ships was greater than 1200 feet, the light bore finer on the "Alcoa Pilot's" bows, and in consequence was more nearly constant as she advanced.
Shoberg became increasingly concerned as he got closer; but he assumed, as was the fact, that the "Cyrus Field" had also seen the light, and he thought that any initiative lay with the commodore. To use his own words, he "was waiting for the commodore to take action, and judging if it turned out to be a steamer, then if I had taken any action I would have been wrong, if I took it individually before, and the ship being on the right hand I couldn't take any action there." Again: "I expected if I put my lights on he could see my lights, and even if" (there was?) "immediate danger I could take action." It is clear that the only defence for this inaction is that he was justified in relying upon the commodore. He knew that his ship was blacked out, the "risk of collision" had long been obvious, he alone was in a position to take any effective action to avoid collision. He knew that he was overtaking what might be a stern light, that it was, not only fine on his bow, but not changing fast, and that, so far as it did change, it was growing finer, a sure indication that to avoid collision, it must cross his bows if he kept on. In such a position to keep his course and speed until he was within two minutes of collision, was utterly inexcusable if the responsibility for the "Alcoa Pilot" rested upon him.
In the earlier stages of the litigation it was impossible to get access to the regulations which governed convoys during the war, and a good deal of testimony was taken about them which appears in the depositions. Later, however, need for secrecy disappeared, and the Navy gave a series of answers which cover the whole subject adequately and make immaterial most, if not all, of the testimony. These answers are too long to quote in full; but a few of the most important will serve. For example: "If you are forced out of position by another ship to avoid collision, you may use full rudder and increase or decrease speed. The moment that danger of collision has ceased you should come to convoy course and speed * * *" Again: "Although the Commodore is responsible for the safe conduct and cruising order of a convoy, it is emphasized that Masters of merchant ships are not thereby absolved from their responsibility for the safety of their ships at all times." Lights were "only to be exhibited (a) For avoiding collision, in which case they are to be extinguished *676 as soon as the danger of collision has passed." The use of sound signals was contemplated. Nothing supported the inference that responsibility for the navigation of individual ships in an emergency devolved only upon the commodore, although he did of course have command of the convoy's movements as a unit. It is apparent that Wright so understood, for he changed his course ten degrees to starboard to give the "Alcoa Pilot" a wider berth in which to avoid the light proving that he thought the occasion would call upon her for independent action. There are passages in the testimony of Delap, Perry, and several others in the convoy, given, as we have said, before the regulations became available, which do indeed give some color to the notion that changes of course by any individual ship, as well as by the convoy as a whole, must await an order of the commodore although, even in these the witnesses nearly always limited their answers to situations in which there was no "immediate danger." We need not consider how well they match with the regulations, for obviously these alone are authoritative; and they are plain.
Be all this as it may, whatever can be said in defense of what Shoberg did not do before the white light changed to green, we can see no excuse for what he did thereafter. Even then, he did not realize that he was faced with a critical emergency, as this passage from his deposition proves: "it turned out to be a green light. I still judged there was no immediate danger, I couldn't see the outline of the ship, and I judged I could see about half a mile." What he did was consonant with this estimate that there was "no immediate danger"; for, instead of at once ordering a hard right rudder, he went down from the upper bridge, thus leaving no one in charge of the ship, turned on the lights himself, roused Perry, the master, and went back to the upper bridge. How long all this took it is impossible to say. He estimated that a minute had elapsed before he got back, and that appears to be conservative; he also estimated that the collision took place a minute after the rudder was put hard right. Accepting these intervals as accurate, it can be almost demonstrated that what caused the disaster was his leaving the bridge to snap on the lights. The "Alcoa Pilot" was 400 feet long and she was moving at 650 feet a minute; under a hard-over helm Knight's[4] "turning circles" show that in one minute, although her heading would have changed about two points to starboard, the bluff of her port bow would not have left her course; and she would have done nothing to avoid collision. If, however, she had been under a hard-over helm for two minutes, her position would have been totally different; her heading would have changed three and a half points or more, and even her stern would have left her course. There would probably have been no collision whatever; and at most the schooner would have carried away only her bowsprit, jibs and perhaps her foregear.
It is idle to put this down as an error in extremis; it was the result of Shoberg's mistake in thinking that there was "no immediate danger" because he could not "see the outline" of the schooner; to say nothing of the fact that the emergency was not forced upon him by any fault of the schooner, as we shall show later. However, even though we were to accept the decision as one made in extremis, nothing forced him to choose between a hard-over rudder and snapping on his lights; the two were not inconsistent. An order to the quartermaster, who incidentally had already been surprised that none had come, would not have taken five seconds; and would not have in the least have interfered with any effect he got from the lights. We repeat, his mistake was not because he was in panic, but because he utterly misunderstood the danger. It is somewhat faintly suggested that a hard right rudder would have brought him too near the "Cyrus Field"; but there was no such danger. Indeed, that is just what in the end he did do with entire safety. He had at least three ship lengths to starboard, which gave him ample berth to right himself. We are urged to yield our own judgment to that of this seasoned master who was on the spot and *677 whom our experience does not fit us to condemn. If we had resort to Trinity Masters, we should indeed welcome their help; but unhappily we have not, and, thrown back upon our own resources, we must decide as best we can.
The "Alcoa Pilot" charges the schooner with keeping a faulty lookout, on the assumption that if she had had a proper one, she would have seen that she was being overtaken. That is a strangely baseless assertion. She carried a green light, and presumably a red light, though it would have made no difference if she had not; and the white light was undoubtedly the stern light which the statute requires:[5] i. e. throwing light six points "from right aft on each side of the vessel," and at the same height as the sailing lights. That would exactly account for the manner in which those in the convoy saw it merge, as it were, into a green light. Being protected, as the law required, she was free to assume that any vessel approaching from more than two points abaft her beam would keep out of her way, so much at least of the sailing rules were not suspended by the blackout.[6] As she was, she was under no duty to keep any lookout astern;[7] although, it is true, there may be occasions when a stern lookout is required, as when a vessel is backing,[8] or when she is relying upon a flare instead of upon a stern light. It is possible indeed that she had begun to pay off to leeward just before the collision; that was Wright's conclusion and there was something to support it. The airs had been very light until a short time before, and it is certainly not unlikely that she had lost her steerage way and, being in the doldrums, had substantially changed her heading, heavily laden as she was. That would account for her being headed about four points off her course when she was struck. It would also account for the fact that she was always so fine on the "Alcoa Pilot's" bow, for it would substantially eliminate her speed. True, the emergence of the green light out of the white is equally understandable by the fact that the "Alcoa Pilot" had come less than two points abaft her beam, but we are assuming any doubts against her. It would have made no difference if she was paying off to get on her course, for an overtaken vessel is not bound to keep her course; she may rely upon any overtaking vessel to give her berth enough to accommodate itself to any such change.[9] There may indeed come a moment when the overtaken vessel will be frozen to her course, but that is only after she sees that the overtaking vessel is not going to do her duty; and no lookout is required to anticipate that this will happen. Thus, the schooner would have been altogether justified in relying upon the fact that, lighted as she was, any overtaking vessel would give her an adequate berth for that purpose.
We can dispose of the charges against the "Rita" summarily. The Stand-By Act[10] applies only to a vessel which has collided with another, as the "Rita" had not; and indeed it is not under that act that the "Alcoa Pilot" seeks to hold her; but because the "Rita" failed "to perform the special wartime duties imposed upon her by convoy regulations." Those regulations were express; they imposed upon the rear ships of a column in a convoy only the duty to "proceed to the assistance of any vessel in their respective columns which may be damaged by normal marine risk"; and the "Rita" owed no duty to the schooner, or to any other ship but the "Alcoa Pilot" herself. We are of course not speaking of moral duties, or even of a master's legal duties; but of those which charge an owner, which are often quite different. For instance, our statute in implementation of the International Salvage Treaty[11] does *678 not impose liability upon the owner for his master's failure to conform to the duty imposed upon him.[12] The suggestion that the "Rita" actually ran down the schooner gave her her "coup de grace" does not deserve an answer.
The charge against the "Cyrus Field" is that, when Wright told Delap that the light had broadened from 242° to 235°, he did not add that he himself had changed the ship's own course from 260° to 270°. First, this change of course had nothing to do with the bearing of the light from the north, which was what Wright's information was. Second, any failure of Delap to do his duty would not charge the "Cyrus Field," as the "Alcoa Pilot" herself concedes. The owner of the "Cyrus Field" did not make Delap commodore; those duties were imposed upon him in invitum. Nor would it charge the ship, if Wright had misinformed him; for that was incidental only to his duty as commodore; and no neglect of it could be imputed to the owner. Finally, even though we were to press the liability of the "Cyrus Field" as a fictitious jural person, she was not at fault; she did not contribute to the collision. The hypothesis is that it was the failure of the commodore to take charge of the "Alcoa Pilot's" navigation which was the fault.
The only remaining question is the refusal of another judge at an earlier stage of the litigation to require Publicover to answer certain interrogatories, designed to learn whether the Dominion of Canada had made payments "in the nature of pensions or otherwise" to the representatives of the schooner's crew who were killed. We surmise that the purpose of this was to show that the Dominion was a party in interest, and that the corvettes had been in whole or in part responsible for the catastrophe. We need not say that the interrogatories should have been answered when they were propounded; but we do hold that they must now be answered, and the commissioner is directed not to proceed in the cause until they have been.
Decree affirmed.

The main means of travel at the time were by wagon and on horseback. There were no highways as there are now. The main road in the Cherokee Nation, that is this part of it, was the Tahlequah Road. The Tahlequah Road started at old Fort Wayne on the Illinois River, now the town of Watts, and followed the river for about sixteen miles to about two miles west of the present town of Chewey. Travelers crossed the Illinois River at a place called Joe Chewey's place, which was called the Chewey Ford, and it still goes by that name. From this crossing one went to old Oil Springs where at that time there was a Post Office established. From Oil Springs the road followed the river to the old Boudinot place about five miles east of Tahlequah. The road at this place turned west by the old Walkingstick Spring taking the same route that is now Highway 62.

Background: Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex procedures in plastic surgery. In patients over 65, the procedure is even more demanding because of the coexistence of multiple complicating psychological and anatomical factors. The aims of our study were to analyze the necessity of rhinoplasty in elderly patients, to analyze the perception of patients before and after procedures and compare these patients with younger population, to review all cases done in our department over the past 20 years, and to summarize all procedures. Methods: We designed a retrospective study of patients that had submitted to primary rhinoplasty by the same surgical team from 1997 to 2017. The inclusion criteria were as follows: Italian national patients of either sex over 65 years old who underwent primary rhinoplasty in our department. The exclusion criteria were as follows: psychiatric disorder, abuse of alcohol or drugs, patients who had undergone secondary rhinoplasty, or patients with previous trauma. Our final sample was 125 patients. We submitted FACE-Q rhinoplasty module to 25 patients comparing the results with a control group of younger patients. Results: Of 1703 patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty in our Department of Plastic Surgery from 1997 to 2017, only 125 were over 65 years old. The average age was 68 years old, with 72 male and 53 female patients. From June 2016 to May 2017, the Italian version of FACE-Q rhinoplasty module was given to 25 elderly patients pre- and postoperatively and to 25 younger patients (control group), for comparison. All patients answered the postoperative module 6 months after their procedure. The most noticeable result was in tip perception, in fact in the > 65 years old group. Two surgeons reviewed and summarized all 125 cases and procedures, which were 89 open approach, 36 closed approach, 17 reduction rhinoplasty, 108 augmentation rhinoplasty, 47 dorsum grafts, 159 tip grafts, 9 alar region grafts, and 5 other grafts. Conclusions: The tip of the nose is the focus of attention for older patients who want to undergo this surgery and require surgical procedures for increased projection and support. Augmentation rhinoplasty plays a fundamental role in the remodeling of the nose in patients over 65 years old.

If you ask the CEO or founder of any successful company about the success story behind their business firm, almost everyone will mention about their successful implementation of Human Resource (HR) department.
In today's time, everything is changing so is the world of Human Resources. So having a proper idea of HR trends in 2018 is essential when it comes to keeping your company up to date in trying to manage the HR sector more proactively.
As the year 2017 takes a curtain, it brings in new hopes and challenges for the next year. It is the same scenario for the HR world as well. In 2018, HR trends will look more into HR related challenges it may face in the years to come. HR Trends this year will most certainly look ahead what any HR professional expert might expect ahead of them.
So in this feature, let's take a closer look at the trends & challenges of Human Resources that is making news all over the world.
Human Resources are an essential part of every company's management grid. It enlightens the company with its knowledge of how it affects the organizational success of human capital. It helps develop a realistic compensation structure to set company salaries and wages based on the competing employees with similar or better skills.
HR can help reduce the expenses of a company analyzing its cost & benefits that are associated with yearly turnover, counteraction & recruiting replacement workers. Human resources are obligated to provide a safe working environment. Managing any risk for the employees that come in its way in the process.
HR protects and minimizes any unlawful employment practices that are associated with company's exposure & liability allegations. It also helps in the new employee orientation. HR as an employee relations specialist can effectively help achieve better performance & satisfaction building a strong employee to employee relationship.
Managing the hiring & onboarding process can indeed be a hassle for most companies but with Human Resources in full effect, manage the complete procedure of recruiting from scheduling interviews to sending appointment letters to new employees without a hitch. Not to mention the company compliance maintenance that the HR worker ensures to the employment laws.
With the rise in business competitions at a fast speed and many other investments being at stake, it will be a daunting task to find the most fitted talents for them. This is one aspect that will be the reason for a headache for most companies in 2018.
This means the responsibility of finding the right people to take care of their business process will always be a complex process for all the emerging sectors and organizations. Making it one of the top challenges that the HR management people will face in the year 2018.
Upskilling to develop the skill of your existing worker is one trend that needs to give proper emphasis on.

Mizzou New Music Initiative's summer event gets a new name: Mizzou International Composers Festival
With applicants coming from dozens of countries on five different continents, the Mizzou New Music Summer Festival already has attracted significant international attention in its first three years.
The composers from abroad who have been selected to participate clearly have influenced the Festival's musical direction. They also have helped to spread the word about the event much farther and faster than originally anticipated. In a nod to these welcome developments, the event now will be known as the Mizzou International Composers Festival, effective immediately.
Though the name has changed, the format will remain essentially the same. The 2013 Mizzou International Composers Festival will take place from Monday, July 22 through Saturday, July 27. It will be a week of activities and concerts, ending with a grand finale featuring world premieres of new works written by eight resident composers.
The new name simply reflects the experiences of the event's first three years, said William Lackey, managing director of the Mizzou New Music Initiative. "The international composers who have visited Columbia over the past three years have made exciting and substantive contributions to the event. We are increasing our efforts to attract even more resident composer applicants from outside the US,' he said.
"Calling it a 'composers festival' places further emphasis on the vision of the New Music Initiative and the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation: to spotlight the work of the eight emerging resident composers and celebrate the careers of two veteran guest composers," Lackey added. "This is one of our signature events in the ongoing effort to make Columbia a center for composers, and we wanted the new name to make that clear."
