Take 5 with MIKESCHAIR

If there was ever a band that met by God's providence, it would be MIKESCHAIR. To be fair, Mike Grayson (lead vocals, guitar), Sam Tinnesz (lead guitar, vocals), Jesse Hale (violin, keyboards, utility, vocals), and Jon Haire (bass) were all living in the same dorm at Belmont University. While others in the highly music student population were awash in a sea of music dreams, the quartet began writing songs, playing shows, and finding success. After singing to Curb Records, MIKESCHAIR released their self-titled debut album in July. Currently, the band is on The Altered Minds Tour with Lecrae and After Edmund (for a full tour schedule, click here).
Because it was his chair that inspired the band's name, Mike Grayson kindly answered the questions for Backseat Writer's latest Take 5. I want to see pictures of your diva chair, Mike!
Tell me about MIKESCHAIR, like the chair itself. I hear it¹s become a diva since it inspired the band name. True or false?
HAHAHA!! I tell you what, ever since the band was named after the chair, "Mike's Chair" won't let anyone sit on it because it thinks that it is so much more than a chair now. The chair refuses to leave my room out of fear of being mobbed by fans. If that's not diva then, I don't know what is.
The band has a great "how we met" story. You're all talented musicians rooming in the same freshmen dorm at Belmont and… (finish the story).
The whole thing started with a song. One of the guys in the band and I sat down and started writing a song. In the middle of the process Jesse (our violin/keyboard player) walked across the hall into the dorm room and said that he played violin and wondered if he could come and play with us. We agreed and thankfully so because Jesse is an amazing violin player.
The three of us then decided that we wanted to record this song but we didn't have all the necessary instrumentation to complete the song but decided to start recording anyway. A couple days later we were talking about how we really needed electric guitar on the song. To our surprise Sam (our lead guitarist) happened to be walking by the dorm room and mentioned that he played electric guitar. We added Sam to the song and then rounded out the group by adding Jon to come play bass.
During this whole process all of the guys except for me lived on the first floor of the dorm. Because of this I spent all my time with the rest of the guys down on their floor–to the point that I was constantly sitting and even sleeping on their floors. One day I came back from class and the guys went out and got me a chair so that I could have something that was mine down on their floor. I wrote "MIKE" really big on the chair and from that point on whenever we wrote and or played music the chair was always involved. The name MIKESCHAIR is simply a reminder of those times and how faithful God is to bring us from a dorm at Belmont University to the platform we have today.
Your first single, "Can't Take Away" is so catchy with singability through the roof. What inspired the writing of this song?
"Can't Take Away" was actually the very last song to go on the record. In fact, the record was finished when we wrote this song, but we knew right away that it had to go on the record. This song was written right when gas had reached over $4 a gallon, a hurricane had just hit down south, election season was well under way, and the news was about nothing but the bad economy. We sat down to write, and practically all we could feel was defeat.
As we were talking it was almost as if rebellion set in, and we decided that even though the world around us is in turmoil God is still exactly where He has always been—on His Throne! No matter what is going on in our lives, no matter how bad it gets, no one and nothing can take away our God. This song is our reminder that it doesn't matter who is in office or what the economy is doing or what troubles come our way, our hope and our trust lies in the hands of a God who is unchanging.
My favorite song on the album is "Silhouette" or "Outside of Me." I can't decided which I like more. Which song do you think should be my favorite?
First off,I am so impressed by your favorites!! Most people always choose the radio singles as favorites and you have chosen two of the more artistic songs on the record which I LOVE. It's always hard to pick a favorite for us because it' like saying you like one child more than the other, but in this situation I would have to say that I think "Silhouette" should be your favorite. "Silhouette" is one of the songs on the album that we all love from a lyrical and musical standpoint. This song will never be a radio single but the imagery the songs paints is something that we all love.
Does your band have any unique quirks that you'd like to make public? (Like maybe you¹re all obsessed with Planet Earth or have a fascination with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—let's hear it!)
When it comes down to it MIKESCHAIR is nothing but quirks – hahahah. Just to name a few:
1. Jon and Jesse can't stand people touching their necks
2. Sam hates all fruits
3. I snore like a beast
4. And we used to watch That Thing You Do every time we were in the van!!
5. We mostly communicate in different accents when in the van.

Mick Jagger is one of the most recognized faces in the world of Rock and Roll and is often portrayed as being one of the really bad boys of the music scene. While, it is true that Mick is certainly no Saint, he is not nearly as bad as the media presents him to be. Regardless of all the bad publicity Mick has received over the years, there can be no denying his, and the Rolling Stones', contributions to the world of Rock and Roll.


You'd think that Hollywood would be an anti-pizza world since it's non-Paleo, full of carbs, and breaks every other dieting rule, but I live at an intersection of amazing and phenomenal when it comes to pizza with hitters like Mozza and the Oaks just a stones' throw away. And while I'll never have Nancy Silverton's pizza dough skills or my very own boated-over-from-Italy-stone-by-stone pizza oven, I can at least bring on the flavors like with this Truffle Prosciutto Roasted Mushroom Pizza.
Heat the oven to 450°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Combine mushrooms, olive oil, and rosemary on a rimmed baking sheet, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss to coat. Place in oven and roast until mushrooms are shrunken, and browned about, 20 minutes. Discard the rosemary, drizzle with the balsamic, and toss to coat.
Mushrooms can be roasted up to 2 days ahead of time - store refrigerated in an airtight container.
Meanwhile, using a lightly floured rolling pin, place dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll to a 12-inch circle. Pierce the pizza dough in several places to prevent it from bubbling up unevenly. Top pizza with about half of the Parmesan, all the truffle cheese, then scatter the mushrooms on top. Add the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
If you have a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven, use parchment to transfer pizza to the sheet or stone (alternatively put on a baking sheet and place in oven) and bake until golden brown on bottom and cheese is melted, about 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place prosciutto in an ovenproof pan or another rimmed baking sheet and place in oven 5 minutes or until just crisp. Serve topped with crisp prosciutto and additional parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Rick Perry 2012 Campaign for President– News and updates
Rick Perry leads Mitt Romney among Social Security privatization backers, poll finds
By Puneet Kollipara on September 17, 2011 at 5:09 PM

Texas Gov. Rick Perry leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney among those Republican primary voters who view privatization of Social Security as a good thing, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll released Friday.
With Perry facing heightened scrutiny for his criticisms of Social Security, the poll finds the Texas governor and presidential hopeful leading Romney among Republican primary voters who say privatization is a "good idea," 25 percent to 15 percent. Among those who say privatization is a "bad idea," the two candidates are in a statistical dead heat, with Perry getting 18 percent and Romney 17 percent.
The poll also confirms what several recent ones have found regarding the overall race for the Republican nomination. Perry gets the support of 23 percent of those "who intend to vote in a Republican primary or caucus," with Romney at 16 percent, according to the poll. The Texas governor's support is driven largely by big margins he racks up among self-identified tea party voters, conservatives and evangelicals.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann are a distant third place, with 7 percent support each.
Forty-nine percent of Republican primary voters polled said they back the tea party movement; they back Perry over Romney by a nearly three-to-one ratio, 30 percent to 12 percent. Perry also leads Romney among self-identified evangelicals, 28 percent to 10 percent, and self-identified conservatives, 27 percent to 14 percent.
Romney leads Perry among voters who don't identify as tea partiers, 22 percent to 16 percent, and among moderates, 19 percent fo 16 percent. Among non-evangelicals it's a statistical tie, with 21 percent backing Romney and 19 percent backing Perry.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain tie for fifth place in the nomination race, with 5 percent support each.

Recently when one of my friend shared a page of Chetan Bhagat's view on career women on facebook,I couldn't help but agree.And it goes like..
Home truths on career wives----Girls should read, but boys MUST read... Chetan Bhagat
Recently, I saw the recently released movie, Cocktail. The plot revolves around a philanderer hero who has to make the tough choice between two hot women. The uber-modern movie was set in London. The characters drank, danced in nightclubs and had one-night stands with aplomb. They worked in new-age aspirational jobs like glamour photography, graphic art and software design. And yet, the guy eventually chooses the girl who cooks home food, dresses conservatively, wins his mother's approval and is happy to be the ideal Indian wife. In fact, even the rejected girl, a free-spirited, independent woman agrees to change herself. To get the guy, she is happy to cook and change her lifestyle to match that of the ideal Indian wife.
While the movie was fun, such depictions disturb me a little. When successful, strong women are portrayed as finding salvation in making dal and roti for their husbands, one wonders what kind of India we are presenting to our little girls.
Really, is that what a woman's life is all about — to make hot phulkas? Of course, i shouldn't be so bothered, many would say. It is a Bollywood movie. The commercial pressure to present a palatable story is real. Above all, the makers have a right to tell the narrative they want.
Yet, when our most modern and forward cinema sinks into regressive territory, it is unfair to our women. It is also depressing because deep down we know such attitudes exist. Many Indian men, even the educated ones, have two distinct profiles of women — the girlfriend material and the wife material. One you party with, the other you take home. The prejudice against non-traditional women who assert themselves is strong.
Let us look at another part of the world. Yahoo, a leading tech firm and a Fortune 500 company, recently hired a new woman CEO, Marissa Mayer. What's more, she was six months pregnant when she was hired, a fact she did not hide in her interviews.
Marissa will take some time off after childbirth and will be back at work later. She can manage both. There is something to celebrate about that. Marissa is a role model for women and even men.
I'd like Indian men to have an open mind about choosing their life partners and revise their 'ideal woman' criteria. Having a traditional wife who cooks, cleans and is submissive might be nice. However, choosing a capable, independent and career-oriented woman can also bring enormous benefits. For instance, one, a man who marries a career woman gets a partner to discuss his own career with. A working woman may be able to relate better to organizational issues than a housewife. A spouse who understands office politics and can give you good advice can be an asset. Two, a working woman diversifies the family income streams. In the era of expensive apartments and frequent lay-offs, a working spouse can help you afford a decent house and feel more secure about finances. Three, a working woman is better exposed to the world. She brings back knowledge and information that can be useful to the family. Whether it's the latest deals or the best mutual fund to invest in, or even new holiday destinations, a working woman can add to the quality of life. Four, the children of a working woman learn to be more independent and will do better than mollycoddled children. Five, working women often find some fulfillment in their jobs, apart from home. Hence, they may have better life satisfaction, and feel less dependent on the man. This in turn can lead to more harmony. Of course, all these benefits accrue if men are able to keep their massive, fragile egos aside and see women as equals.
Sure, there are drawbacks also in being with working women. But the modern age that we are in, the phulka-making bride may come at a cost of missing out on other qualities. Please bear that in mind before you judge women based on their clothes, interest in the kitchen or the confidence in their voice.
My mother worked for 40 years. My wife is the COO at an international bank. It makes me proud. She doesn't make phulkas for me. We outsource that work to our help, and it doesn't really bother me. If my wife had spent her life in the kitchen, it would have bothered me more.
Please choose your partner carefully. Don't just tolerate, but accept and even celebrate our successful women. They take our homes ahead and our country forward. We may have less hot phulkas, but we will have a better nation.
SJ September 2, 2012 at 1:58 AM
I read Chetan's column too on Sunday and I cud relate to it. But he was shot wid a lot of criticism and some women really got pissed off with what he had to say.
but I agree to him in the sense, women shud not be stereotyped to be making phulkas. there are women who r not as interested in homely stuff, its a personal choice and something not to be forced upon.
www.styledestino.blogspot.com
To each his own, I am not fond of making phulkas either :)
Ankionthemove September 3, 2012 at 11:08 AM
@Ghazala:Sama here Ghazala,a few years back I had the full josh of cooking,but now slowly the josh has become so thanda,that I prefer my maid making phulkas for me..however gud or bad that may be ;)
yes, what he says is right but somehow some of the sentences don't make a chord with everyone!!! for example, its my housewife mom who brings back the knowledge of investments and finances than my father who is in fact a chartered accountant. so, its not like house wives are just good for nothing. its just some ladies might choose that to be their priority but do not lack the common sense or intelligence to maintain an easy consort with their husbands!
even females make distinction between the girlfriend class and wife class of girls which is quite weird.

A Local Instructor Is Testing a New Charity Yoga Concept
Carrie Seyer is trying to launch a series of classes driven by music and philanthropy.
By Jamie Ducharme·	 3/2/2017, 4:43 p.m.
Yoga at the Paradise/Photo provided
Local yoga instructor Carrie Seyer is mixing three of her biggest passions—yoga, music, and community—to cook up a brand new fitness concept.
Seyer, who teaches at CorePower Yoga, Equinox, and YogaWorks, is planning to launch a series of fitness events at music venues around Boston. While the series is about having fun and moving, it also has a philanthropic bent: Everyone who purchases a ticket to one of the classes will be able to nominate a charity. Then, at the event, an organization will be selected at random to receive the proceeds.
"People can have a little bit of ownership over it and get excited," Seyer says. "They get to chip in a thought and then they get to come get excited about the chance that their charity's going to receive the proceeds."
Series details are still up in the air, but Seyer is testing her concept on Saturday, March 11, at the Paradise Rock Club. (Friend and fellow yoga teacher Ali Singer taught a similar class last month, because Seyer got sick at the last minute.) She'll teach a yoga class accompanied by a live DJ spinning hip hop, house, funk, and electronic music at 11 a.m., then draw the winning charity. Students will walk away with a $15 Sweetgreen credit and a three-day pass to Equinox.
The success of the trial run will largely determine the series' course, but Seyer says she envisions larger events, and those that incorporate other styles of music and fitness. The whole idea, she says, is to have fun, do good, and unite people around a common cause.
"Any way you can leverage the energy of a group that's behind the same mission or vision is really fun," Seyer says.
$30, 3/11, 11 a.m. The Paradise Rock Club, 967 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, yogamusicgoodvibes.com.

Oaxaca is not only the home of chocolate, it's also the birthplace of chocolate corn, chocolate sauce...you get the idea.
For their fix, locals frequent Chocolate Mayordomo, a shop with two downtown locations—which, considering Oaxaca's small size, "is on par with the Starbucks proliferation in New York." The icing on the cake?
A trip to Oaxaca can be combined with a stop in Mexico City to see Nestlé's factory and its avant-garde chocolate museum.
Ghana wants to spread the word that it grows great cocoa, so its throwing a party (or two): National Chocolate Day and Cocoa Day.
Besides "consume more cocoa for good health" which is the theme of the Cocoa Day festival, the best advice for visiting comes from an IgoUgo member who says:
"Ghana is the friendliest and easiest West African country to travel in, but it is still a third-world country and requires patience and flexibility."
Kiss your New Year's diet goodbye at Hershey's Chocolate World in the self-proclaimed "sweetest place on Earth."
The "Epcot-like" factory-tour ride is "really well done" and kids especially enjoy Chocolate World's singing cows.
Maybe that's why the company's signature chocolate blends are so harmonious.
The Philippines, Bohol
Cover your itinerary in chocolate whether you visit the north, central, or south islands of the Philippines.
In the north, Baguio—"a foodie's dream destination"—is famous for its chocolate de batirol, named after the clay pot in which chocolate is heated.
Down in Bohol, of course, the main attractions are the Chocolate Hills—not technically edible, but still a must-see. And further south is Davao and its cacao fields, where every meal seems to end with a "worth-your-buck" decadent dessert.
Nowhere does Swiss chocolate taste better than in the confiseries of Zurich. Lindt, Sprüngli, Teuscher, Suchard: the only hard part is deciding where to begin.
Even the city's cafés are ready to indulge patrons, with Café Schober getting especially high marks for serving hot chocolate "topped with whipped cream from the café's own herd."
Sample cacao flesh straight from the source on the Bocas del Toro archipelago.
Then wash it down with plenty of cocoa; research suggests that this habit of Panama's Kuna people keeps their hearts healthy.
Another bonus effect of local cocoa is the presence of hiking trails on what were once cacao plantations.
Try the Parque Nacional Soberania for tracks that have been reclaimed by the wild and are "teeming with birds and wildlife."
Get to know German chocolate beyond your last birthday cake in the chocolate capital of Germany and its Chocolate Museum.
The complex is much lauded for its historical exhibits, family fun, Rhine River views, "huge chocolate fountain," and, of course, free samples.
New Yorkers know chocolate: how to make it, how to sell it, how to show it.
Visitors can take a chocolate tour; attend a chocolate show; and, sometimes, sleep in a chocolate hotel room.
Of course, it's not all fluff; you can also find some of the world's highest-quality sweets there, including the "magical" wicked hot chocolate served at cocoa master Jacques Torres' shops.
Bruges, Belgium
There's a lot to do in Belgium's fair UNESCO World Heritage city.
Climb the belfry, taste chocolate, bike the canals, taste more chocolate, tour the museums, taste chocolate again.
But IgoUgo's favorite spot is the Chocolate Line shop, where one member picked up liqueur-filled chocolates for her mother and said, "I am now her favorite child!"
Thought to be the original entry point of chocolate in Europe.
Barcelona has been breeding leading chocolatiers for centuries, making it a natural place for a museum celebrating the substance.
A "must-see on any chocolate lover's vacation" the Museu de la Xocolata features chocolate in every form, from ornate sculptures to "so-much-fun-to-eat" hot chocolate.
When you're done, burn off the treat on a self-guided tour of the city's high-end chocolate boutiques.

Lee Jong Suk Cancels Appearance on "Pinocchio" Special of "Healing Camp"
by an0ya
Actor Lee Jong Suk has canceled his appearance on a special "Pinocchio" episode of SBS' talk show "Healing Camp."
Previously, it was reported that the drama's main stars Lee Jong Suk, Park Shin Hye, Kim Young Kwang, and Lee Yoo Bi would be filming the special episode on January 22. However, due to delays in his schedule, Lee Jong Suk will be unable to participate in the shoot.
A representative of the star explained, "It appears that he is inevitably unable to make it. He has a prior commitment that has been scheduled before his appearance on 'Healing Camp.' We think it is very unfortunate that he is unable to appear on the show."
This unexpected news is likely to affect Lee Jong Suk's co-stars and their decision to appear on the episode. A representative of Kim Young Kwang stated, "The initial plan was to participate in the shoot together with the whole 'Pinocchio' team. If one or more of the members drop out, we will have to reconsider the offer."
Meanwhile, the finale of "Pinocchio" will air on January 15.

If I had to describe what I paint, I'd say I paint the psychic reality. Although i'm interested in the outer world, I treat it as a repository of intricate and complex forms, that inspire me, and provide me with metaphors to show the world that is more closed, hidden, my/human inner world of unconscious thought, phantasy, and intuition. When it comes to my paintings from 'Mental Landscapes' cycle, I don't have a pre-established composition in my head. I start painting from a random point on a canvas, and patterns organizing other elements spring in circles around it building an image. In my method I'm half automatic, creating links between different and half random elements. The most uncanny in my procedure is the fact that I cannot predict the end result of my painting. I find my inspirations in technical, complicated mechanical artifacts and machines, and their intricate forms correspond with my image of unknown workings of human mind. I was born in Krakow in 1966, in Poland where I live and work. I completed MA studies (painting) in Fine Art from Krakow Academy of Fine Arts and graduated with distinction in 2007. I was granted a scholarship of Polish Ministry of Culture for year 2003-2004. I was decorated with Medal of Academy of Fine Art in Krakow in 2010. I was awarded an award of distinction by ''Sztuka.pl'' magazine in art competition organised by I. J. Paderewski Foundation in 2010.

In April, voters in Memphis will be asked to consider a change in the city ordinances to allow a shift in how the head of the police department is determined.
Currently, voters elect a City Marshal for a four year term.
A ballot proposal will ask for voter approval of the elimination of that position, to be replaced with a Police Chief, who would be appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the city council.
City officials explained the ballot proposal is being offered because of a sharp decline in the number of law enforcement officers applying for positions with the city.
Currently the city has just one full-time officer, in addition to the elected City Marshal, Bill Holland.
Holland explained that ideally the Memphis Police Department would operate with the chief, and three full-time officers, but it has not been at that full contingency during his tenure.
The MPD had been operating with Holland and two additional full-time officers for several years, but has been down to just Holland and Officer Zach Campbell for more than six months now.
Under the current policy, the City Marshal is paid a salary, and is not eligible for overtime. Council members have been reviewing options to address this issue, as currently the MPD is operating undermanned, requiring overtime for the one full-time officer as well as the marshal.
"It isn't a very fair financial situation when you have an employee earning enough in overtime that they are making more money than their supervisor, even though that supervisor is working as much, if not more, while maintaining significantly more responsibilities of operating the department," said Alderman Chris Feeney.
Council members also noted, that the current ordinance requires the City Marshal to be a resident of the City of Memphis, which further limits the number of potential candidates.

A Dartmouth College cosmologist and theoretical physicist, who considers himself a religious agnostic even though he has devoted his career to examining links between science, philosophy and spirituality in exploring the mystery of creation, is the 2019 Templeton Prize winner.
WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, Pennsylvania — A Dartmouth College cosmologist and theoretical physicist, who considers himself a religious agnostic even though he has devoted his career to examining links between science, philosophy and spirituality in exploring the mystery of creation, is the 2019 Templeton Prize winner.
Marcelo Gleiser, 60, often describes science as an "engagement with the mysterious" because he believes it cannot be separated from humanity's relationship with the natural world.
A native of Brazil, he is the first Latin American to be named a Templeton Prize Laureate.
Gleiser's work has earned international acclaim. His books are best-sellers, especially in his homeland, and his television series has drawn millions of viewers.
Despite his agnosticism, Gleiser has disavowed atheism.
Among Gleiser's significant scientific contributions is his work as a co-discoverer in 1994 of "oscillons," which the foundation described as "small, long-lived energy 'lumps' made of many particles." He continues to study their properties.
His current research involves the use of information theory to explore how the stability of physical systems — from subatomic particles to massive structures in the universe — is encrypted in the complexity of their shapes.
The foundation said Gleiser also focuses on the origin of life on earth, examining the role of biochemical asymmetries in the early formation of polymers, the precursors to complex biomolecules. In addition, his views have risen in prominence in the growing astrobiology field.
Gleiser was born in Rio de Janiero and was raised in the Jewish community, attending Hebrew school. He graduated from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janiero in 1981 and later received a doctorate in theoretical physics from King's College London.
He joined the Dartmouth College faculty in Hanover, New Hampshire, at age 32, teaching physics and astronomy. By the time he was named a full professor at the school in 1998, Gleiser had expanded his scientific views into a larger cultural context, the foundation said.
His work led to his first book, The Dancing Universe, which was developed as a college textbook for non-science majors. It explored the philosophical and religious roots of scientific thinking and their influence throughout human history and result in Gleiser's rise as a public intellectual.
The prize includes a cash award of more than $1.4 million. A formal award ceremony is scheduled May 29 in New York.
Previous Templeton Prize winners include religious figures St. Teresa of Kolkata, Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu, the Rev. Billy Graham and the Dalai Lama as well as scientists Martin Rees and Freeman Dyson.


Scottish House Move are delighted to bring this attractive three-bedroom, terraced house in the popular Oaklands area to the market. Early viewing is highly recommended.
Glasgow's ever popular Oatlands area is a superb area to live and commute from. The transport links by bus and rail are nearby with a short ride taking you to the city centre within a ten minutes' journey. For those travelling by car, the main motorway links are nearby, meaning all areas of central Scotland are easily accessible daily. The airport is accessible in only twenty minutes or so. There is also a good range of schools, shops, bars, top class restaurants and amenities all within easy reach, making it a very popular and incredibly stylish place to call home.
This accommodation briefly comprises: Ground floor: Entrance hallway leading into the bright and spacious living room. The fully-fitted, partially-tiled kitchen/diner benefits from a four-gas hob/oven with extractor hood and integrated dishwasher, additionally benefitting from a utility room positioned just off. The ground level also benefits from a WC compartment.
First floor: There are three spacious double-bedrooms, all benefitting from more than enough room for various furniture and configurations, of which the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite, three-piece shower room. There is also an additional three-piece, partially-tiled wet-floor shower room.
This property also benefits from gas central heating and is double-glazed throughout. There is also off-street parking with the property's own driveway.


Just trying to clear up some language here.
There are three very different things that tend to get called scenario training. Maybe more, but I can only think of three right now. They have almost nothing in common. They all have some value. They all have some weaknesses and problems.
The first I call "situationals." These are the short 'what if' questions. What if you're attacked at a urinal? How do you fight out of a crowd? Someone jumps you on the stairs, what do you do? They can be fun training, and intense. But intensity is something the instructor always has to worry about. Not because of danger (though brawling on stairs has obvious safety issues). Because anything that feels intense, any training that gives the student some adrenaline, will feel more real to the student than other forms of training. And if the situation or the solution has artificiality--and it will-- the student will still learn the lessons hard even if the lessons are wrong.
The value in situationals, if you are careful, is that it allows you to work some stuff out. To find some tools (like shoulder slams using the handrail on the stairs). The problem is that they will always be pieces. I firmly believe that most bear hug escapes come from this kind of brainstorming, and they fail miserably because the people envisioning the escapes somehow missed that bear hugs almost never come into play to immobilize, but to throw people into things and any escape must work with your feet in the air.
Situationals will almost always miss context.
They are also a hotbed for stylistic inbreeding. Inbreeding-- you have a good technique so I come up with a counter so you modify your technique so the counter doesn't work so I come up with a modified counter so it does work so you modify your technique again... in two or three iterations of this we are using techniques that don't exist outside our inbred little training hall and have counters that apply nowhere in the real world.
In situationals, you have to be sure that the people giving the problem (uke) are acting natural, not adapting to the solution. The best tactic I've found for fighting out of groups, for instance, is not to fight. It's a wedge and swimming motion that gets you out of the circle or through the mass quickly with relatively little damage. But it predicates either on a group trying to put the boot to you or a panicked crowd. When the group starts to prioritize immobilizing first, the swim is neutralized... but, with the exception of one team prison shanking, I haven't seen that in the wild.
The second type of scenario training I learned as "The Sharpness Exercise" (translated). Hogan's Alley, basically. You give the operator or team a reason to run a maze-- officer down at the end, 911 call from a kid hiding from intruders somewhere in the house... different things for different agencies in different parts of the world. As they run the maze, they will be presented with problems-- booby traps, ambushes, different threats requiring different levels of response, and innocent people as well.
Done well, Sharpness is a great exercise for adapting on the fly, for using your whole range of force options, and for practicing judgement and articulation. It takes a little more equipment and prep than situationals, but a lot less than full blown scenarios.
I've seen this exercise go very badly when the instructor was trying to make a point about how dangerous the world was. Everything was booby-trapped, every hostage you rescued was actually a bad guy with a concealed gun, the other guy in uniform was an imposter and assassin... I played for one of these at the academy years ago when I was young and stupid and couldn't tell intense training from good training. That Hogan's Alley made the officers so paranoid that they were useless on the job until after they got over it.
Full-blown scenario training is difficult and expensive. It requires armor. It requires an environment, either a real place or a modular training space. You want simunitions if you're teaching professionals. An absolute minimum of a three-man team (Facilitator, Safety Officer and at least one Role Player). The safety protocols must be detailed and must be enforced. It's not easy to do, even harder to do well.
On the plus side, scenarios are ideal for practicing judgment in tandem with skills. They allow you to test and work everything from tactics to emotional growth. They find holes and glitches like no other training. There's a big chapter on them in the Drills manual.
And, if the scenario designer, Role Player or Facilitator are ignorant or ego-driven, scenarios can ruin a student. If the training team decides to "be tricky" or "be challenging" that means "be artificial" and they will teach untruth and, under the adrenaline of a scenario ingrain that untruth hard. If they don't understand criminals, the student can't learn what works and what doesn't, only what works or doesn't when dealing with poor actors. If the RP or Facilitator need to win, to prove that they are better or tougher or more tactically sound than the student, they will, consciously or not, punish the student for any solution that is better than the one they envisioned.
"The thing that strikes me in this whole class is that you think about time very differently than anyone I've ever known."--- Student in a class for writers. From memory, not an exact quote.
Humans don't think about what we think about. And even more rarely think about how we think. I was told long ago that breathing and walking were two things that everyone does but few do well because they breathe and walk without thinking about it. Unconscious skills don't get developed. I think I can add communication to that list and a bunch of other things.
It's not special-- I think everyone who does emergency work thinks about time this way. So I didn't know it was rare.
Apparently, most people envisage time, if they think of it at all, as this medium in which things happen. We live our lives in time. We move through time. They think of time (or fail to think of it) the way fish think or fail to think about water.
For fighters, time is a resource, an extremely limited resource. Everything takes time, and time spent doing one thing (prepping equipment) cannot be spent doing something else (developing a tactical plan).
Time can be given, taken or stolen. It can be wasted. The scary man reaches under his jacket and you think he might be drawing a weapon but you want to be sure... You've given him time. And wasted your own. And put a cognitive mechanism in place ('I want to be sure' which means 'I want to be consciously sure') that guarantees you will use data inefficiently and waste more time at each step.
If I press, the threat has to make a decision, usually a hasty one. If I don't press, the threat will use his time-- to observe or plan or move or...--and how he uses that time will tell me who he is.
You can make people think that time exists when it does not. We frequently used a fake count down before a cell extraction.
The ability to understand and use discretionary time is the hallmark difference between a pro and a rookie. If there is time to think and plan and communicate, the pro does so, the rookie rushes. The pro spends the time wisely. When there is no longer time to think, when the door bangs open or something shiny flashes at your belly, the pro doesn't waste time thinking, he or she moves...and often the rookie tries to think or plan or get some detail of information, trying to spend time he doesn't have.
Infighters process time and space at another level. Close is fast. Time is distance and at that range you have damn little of either. In addition, anything you do potentially changes everything. A slight pressure with your knee can change the vector of an incoming strike and the location of the threat's head, for instance.
This is the part I'm struggling to describe. In a close brawl or doing infighting randori at a decent level of skill, time ceases to be linear. Something that objectively, on video, would be a sequence of action is all one thing. It feels like it happens in chunks. A lot of it is simultaneous, you can pop the knee while clotheslining the jawline, but the things that led there and the things that follow and anything the threat does or fails to do... those all seem part of a whole that teleported into existence as a complete object.
Sorry for the tortured metaphors. This is really hard to describe. And it gets worse, because the threat isn't part of the equation. Not at the time level. When it's go, you're both on it. And if you have to see what the threat does in order to decide what you will do, you're behind the curve and will never catch up, not at this range. He has his chunk of time and will do things with it. You have your chunk of time and will do things with it. But cognitively, for infighters, those chunks don't intersect.
There's also a common assumption about time. It's subconscious, but it really changes the affordances. When people fight, it's a form of communication. Basically a conversation with fists and boots. Many good fighters are taken out in an assault because they subconsciously follow the conversation pattern-- Fighter A does something and fighter B reacts and fighter A reacts... and in this pattern there are tiny pauses (a bad fighter waits for the pauses, a good fighter creates them) that signal whose turn it is.
This subconscious assumption of shared time isn't true. Reliably you can take someone out-- take 'em down, spin them prone and cuff them quickly and safely if you do it fast and decisively. Not because you're that good or the technique is that good. If you act without the expected pauses, people working under the shared time illusion are subconsciously waiting for you to signal their turn to respond. Reading this, that sounds esoteric and intellectual, but it's the best description I have of the difference between the force incidents that turned into fights and the ones (some of which were objectively more dangerous-- weapons, etc.) which just ended in a heartbeat.
But that shared time is illusion. We don't have time in a fight. I have time and you have time. If you are waiting for a pause, you aren't using your time and become meat. And your ability or choice to use your time and how you will use it can and should (maybe) be completely independent of what I do with my time. Unless, of course, you are manipulating my time.
Not sure I can really explain this. Grapplers have a completely different understanding of moving a body than strikers, and it's so subconscious it is really hard to explain simple things, like "make your hands sticky" to people who don't know the feel. It's kind of the same way with infighting and time.
Except for the upcoming seminar in Seattle, and maybe a little brawling with friends, I have the rest of the month free. Which is good, because the rest of the year is going to be almost continual motion.
Rehab the knee. Harder and better. And try not to injure it again.
Rethink, plan and execute working out. Three (or is it four?) years of continuous leg injuries. "Nurse Ratchett" used her mad tui-na skills to pop the bone in my ankle back into place. The metatarsal break will never completely heal and I'm used to that so it's just the knee-- so now it's time to find a way to get the wind and muscle tone back up.
Tied into above-- need to make some specific incremental changes in living. Not enough to do new things, I need to modify some deep-seated habits.
Work on the property and the house. Over two months of neglect means about a year's worth of work. Make a daily dent.
Have to become a business man. Emotionally, this is the hard one. Lots of internal contradictions ( I like capitalism-- the free market concept has done more to make peace possible than anything else, at the same time like a lot of kids raised poor there is an instinct that money is dirty and only bad people make a lot.) Some contradictions with the world-- I really want to get to the point where I can teach for free, but it's been made abundantly clear this year that pricing too low (something I especially do when I believe in the mission) costs not only contracts but credibility.
Part of the business is breaking down exactly what I do, what can be delegated, anything I'm doing in person that can be done another way.
Work on getting the word out about the CRGI launch. Contact some potential guest contributors.
Trivia. I'm about ten days behind on e-mail. Have to send a blurb on the essence of infighting out. Did a podcast interview and need to send a bio.
Connect. Haven't had much time for friends and family. Want to make the time and at the same time, there is so much work to do. It's easy to let the soft obligations slide.
*Thoughts out loud about these. For infighting, I need to get together with my local crew and a few strangers to bang it out and decide what must be in it, what should be in it, and what can be left out. I'm leery of filming this. Pretty much by definition if you set up infighting so the camera can see it, you aren't doing it right. But David Silver's crew is pretty ingenious.
How much danger? And what force does that require?
And, for want of a better word, context of application. If it is a serious self-defense situation, something where high-level force is the answer, it won't look anything like a square-off fight. So how to adapt your current skills to surprise, tight ranges and cluttered environments and some options for disparity of force: numbers, weapons and immense size and strength.
Plus, I'm teaching an on-line class for writers starting in ten days.
Planning the section on defense for "InFighting." And there's a snag. Not a big one, probably easily solved, but it is part of the schism between learning and doing. Or talking and doing. Or, obviously, writing and doing.
Infighting is close work. And fast. You have to do most of it by touch. And defense becomes about controlling space and structure, not intercepting attacks. You need drills to get this down, just like anything else. But the drill isn't the thing.
In order to teach or communicate, you have to break things down. Defense and offense. Foot and hand motion. For infighting: locks; takedowns; structure manipulations; spine manipulations; hand, foot, elbow, knee, head, forearm,shin, shoulder and hip strikes; crashing; gouging...maybe biting. Plus the general stuff of orientation and controlling pockets of space.
But no matter how good you are at defense, something will get in eventually. So in addition to protecting yourself, you must finish the threat. And for infighting especially, this is simultaneous, not a sequence. (Really struggling with how to write about the perception of time to fighters, BTW). Not protect and attack. Not even simultaneous block and strike. Your attacks are your defenses, your defenses are attacks. Not in the sense that you can hit someone upside the head with something you usually call a block. In the sense that the elbow driving into the left side of his neck prevents him from lifting his right foot for a knee strike.
So you have to learn defense and you have to practice defense and it seems easiest to do so in isolation. My dad made me practice shifting gears with the engine off before we tried any driving. That's the way we teach, the way we communicate. Because time is linear, maybe, or we can only use one word at a time. But none of this stuff is used in isolation, at least, not if you're any good.
But the very fact that the defense chapter is separate from the other chapters risks putting it in the student's head as a distinct category. Creating one of the mental boxes that makes most people so inefficient, uncoordinated. Not integrated.
This disconnect must be everywhere. We learn pieces of things and sequences that by their nature are parts of integrated wholes. And there must be a training for the integration. I have that for infighting, not worried... but how many other life skills are learned in pieces? And because it is the normal way to teach, it becomes the normal way to learn. But is it the only way? Or the best?

Q: I get [Object Error] When I use a timer in IE Mobile I am trying to display 1 image after another in IE Mobile.  The following code works in IE Desktop but I get an [Object error] If I run it in IE Mobile.
This is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title></title>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

    </form>

To debug I changed the javascript to this:

What happened was that I got 'hi1', 'hi3', 'hi4' then object error. the image DID change once.

A: You are not assining a function to setInterval, you are calling the function and assigning what every it returns.
Your code
_timer = setInterval(swapImages(), interval);

is actually doing this
_timer = setInterval(undefined, interval);

Your code needs to drop the () so you are not calling the function.
_timer = setInterval(swapImages, interval);

You also did it here:
imgCached.onload = OnImgLoaded();

Personally I would not use an interval, your images are NOT going to load in 30 ms. You a timeout after the images are loaded. Something like this would work.
var isRunning,
    timer,
    intervalMS = 30,
    imgLive = document.getElementById('imgLive');

function test() {
    _index = 0;
    isRunning = true;
    if (timer) window.clearTimeout(timer);
    swapImages();
}

function setImageSrc (src) {
    imgLive.src = src;
    if(isRunning) timer = window.setTimeout(swapImages, intervalMS);
}

function swapImages() {
    var imgCached = new Image();
    imgCached.onload = function() {
        setImageSrc(this.src);
    };
    imgCached.onerror = function() {
        setImageSrc("Error.jpg");
    };
    imgCached.src = 'http://www.informedmotion.co.uk/Cloud/test/' + '0000' + _index + '.jpg';
    _index = _index + 1;
    if (_index == 10) {
        isRunning = false;
    }
}

19/04/2019: We only managed 3 visits this year (out of 6 days, that's poor!) but every time, the service is with a smile, the tasters (to help you choose) are generously offered and the ice cream is AMAZING!
13/04/2019: Me lo he pasado muy bien en este pequeño y agradable restaurante vegetariano con amigos tanto a la hora del almuerzo como a la noche. La idea del almuerzo de dos platos de diferentes tamaños a dos precios diferentes es una gran idea. Platos sencillos sin complicaciones, pero no podía fallar la comida. La noche también es especial con cualquiera de las opciones del menú. . . que es más que suficiente para elegir. Los platos eran de alto nivel con un personal cálido y experimentado y obviamente un gran chef. . . . Me alegro de que vivo justo en la carretera.
08/04/2019: Disfruté mucho de mi almuerzo aquí el sábado. (Había caminado allí desde donde me estaba quedando ... aproximadamente 1 hora y 20 minutos). . Tuve un plato grande 8. 50 con diferentes ensaladas marcan claramente si son veganas, sin gluten y, si no, vegetarianas. Añadido un poco de vinagre balsámico, aceite de oliva y semillas. . Fantástico con tanto sabor y variedad de color. Opté por un chai latte vegano que era bueno y después tomé un té verde de dragón. Había una variedad de postres y elegí el pavlova vegano para llevar. . (que comí un poco más tarde con un café ... ¡fue definitivamente delicioso!). Como estaba solo, compartí la mesa con una dama para comenzar, compartimos una buena conversación y, poco después, cuando quedó a la izquierda, llegó un caballero que es un cliente habitual; Ambos disfrutaron su comida también. . definitivamente hacer libro . preciosas instalaciones abajo también!
07/04/2019: Seated on one of two tables by the open kitchen. I overlooked that after the first couple of courses as the food was very good indeed, also seeing the chef/owner at work was quite fascinating too.
31/03/2019: I was promised a special meal, worth the hour drive from my friends home where I was staying the weekend as a belated significant birthday celebration as they had missed the main events by vacationing. I was not disappointed in the slightest. We went for the eight course tasting menu with selected wines. A feast. Right from the first additional canapé served in an egg cup, we knew this would be special both in taste, quality and above all presentation. The Basil and Comte Waffle bread course was super light, the batter aerated before cooked. I could fill screens in description at each course but will let photos show the presentation and focus instead on the comprehensive gentle atmosphere that was also endearing. Chef Owner David is the only Male in whole team with Helen his other Chef and all others working as seamless unit. There seemed to be full occupancy but you could be forgiven for thinking you were sole present given the timing and attention. As with any pleasant evening you keep no track of time and it was late before we left but not before enjoying a few words and buying a keepsake book to hopefully inspire future fish cookery. I understand advance reservations are essential but if you do dine here you will be glad of forethought.

This code has no default effect on the regular driver operation. Flow Control auto-negotiation is part of link auto-negotiation. If sold in bulk, price represents individual unit. Your personal information will be used to respond to this inquiry only. For based network connections, if you are enabling jumbo frames in a virtual function VF , jumbo frames must first be enabled in the physical function PF.
We refer to these processors as boxed processors. If you plug in a different type of module, the driver will not load. For example, issuing the following two commands is acceptable:. Intel Ethernet Flow Director masking works in the opposite manner from subnet masking.
The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. Depending on your system configuration, number of slots, etc.

Q: Unable to Extend HttpContent Class There seems to be something I am missing when trying to extend HttpContent so can anyone let me know if they have been successful in the past at doing this?
The documentation for HttpContent seems to show that its possible to extend and make your own HttpContent Extension, however oddly enough it will never call SerializeToStreamAsync() which is odd considering it calls TryComputeLength().

Given this example extension
public sealed class HttpContentExtension : HttpContent
{

    public ChunkedStringContent()
    {
    }

    protected override Task SerializeToStreamAsync(Stream stream, TransportContext context)
    {
       // Not called When HttpClient.SendAsync() is called.. which it should according to the source code
    }

    protected override bool TryComputeLength(out long length)
    {
        length = -1L;
        return false;
    }
}

Oddly enough as well if I extend String Content TryComputeLength() is not called
public sealed class HttpContentExtension : StringContent
{

    public ChunkedStringContent()
    {
    }

    protected override Task SerializeToStreamAsync(Stream stream, TransportContext context)
    {
       // Not called When HttpClient.SendAsync() is called.. which it should according to the source code
    }

    protected override bool TryComputeLength(out long length)
    {
        // Not Called when extends StringContent
    }
}

If you dig a little into the source they have this one comment that made me curious, they actually have a internal virtual method
// TODO #9071: Expose this publicly.  Until it's public, only sealed or internal types should override it, and then change
// their SerializeToStreamAsync implementation to delegate to this one.  They need to be sealed as otherwise an external
// type could derive from it and override SerializeToStreamAsync(stream, context) further, at which point when
// HttpClient calls SerializeToStreamAsync(stream, context, cancellationToken), their custom override will be skipped.
internal virtual Task SerializeToStreamAsync(Stream stream, TransportContext context, CancellationToken cancellationToken) =>
            SerializeToStreamAsync(stream, context);

What is really interesting is that if you look at internal extensions of HttpContent you see this override, here is ByteArrayContent for example but all pretty much look like this.
internal override Task SerializeToStreamAsync(Stream stream, TransportContext context, CancellationToken cancellationToken) =>
    // Only skip the original protected virtual SerializeToStreamAsync if this
    // isn't a derived type that may have overridden the behavior.
    GetType() == typeof(ByteArrayContent) ? SerializeToStreamAsyncCore(stream, cancellationToken) :
    base.SerializeToStreamAsync(stream, context, cancellationToken);

In conclusion this leads me to believe that it actually is simply not possible to extend this and the only thing barring them from internalizing this is because its publicly referenced on HttpClient
Does anyone have any examples of this working they would be willing to share, or have places they may have seen me misstep?

With "1989" there is, finally, no doubt about where Taylor Swift's future lay. The soon-to-be 25-year-old got her start in country but has been slowly phasing those influences out of her music with each successive release, and "1989" is her first full-throated pop album. Swift is a good singer; anyone who says otherwise is allowing their disdain for all things young and popular to blind them. But she's yet to release anything that really has any meat to it. Opening track "Welcome to New York" is a saccharine-sweet fellating of America's most narcissistic city that feels like little more than a white-girl aping of Jay-Z's "New York State of Mind." Even the album's first single "Shake it Off" comes off as a bit too earnest, rather than truly being the "fuck 'em all" anthem it's intended to be. CV
"Rock & Roll Time"
Jerry Lee Lewis is 79 years old and arguably a better musician than he is a human being. But as one of the original voices of rock 'n' roll, he's always going to be afforded a platform from which to speak. Thankfully, "Rock & Roll Time," Lewis' first album in nearly five years, is also one of the most personal albums the rocker has ever released. There's not an original song on the entire album — he covers everyone from Bob Dylan to Johnny Cash to Kris Kristofferson to Skynyrd — but Lewis reinvents each song and makes them indelibly his own. Despite the album's title, "Rock & Roll Time" is really more of a reminder that Lewis has a 60-year relationship with the country music charts, as every track on the album is buoyed by Lewis' comfortable twang. His voice carries none of the glint and fire of his younger days but instead is warm and deep, slathering each song in an endlessly listenable, down home drawl. CV

Hidden Treasures of the Yucatan Peninsula
in Featured Articles by Yucatan Holidays
The Yucatan Peninsula is filled with extraordinary natural wonders, such as Mayan ruins hidden in tropical jungles, white sand beaches, clear blue seas, enchanting cenotes, underground river and cave systems, and endangered plant and animal species. Beyond the resort towns where the Maya Indians once flourished, a tropical world of hidden natural attractions and cultural sites is waiting to be explored. While many are difficult to find, these three hidden treasures of the Yucatan Peninsula are more accessible and worth a visit.
Isla Blanca Beach, Cancun
A delightful escape from the tourist zone, Isla Blanca's section of white sand beach and turquoise blue Caribbean Sea is a hidden getaway on the outskirts of Cancun city. If a natural beach without tourist shops and commercial eateries sounds appealing, then Isla Blanca is the perfect getaway. A narrow peninsula with long, white beaches bordering the big blue ocean extends between the Caribbean Sea on one side and Chakmochuk Lagoon on the other.
Although frequented on Sundays, this beach is quite remote and can only be reached by car or taxi. Since no stores or services are available except for a snack shack, bringing a picnic basket with food and drinks is recommended. Located 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) north of Cancun Centro and south of Holbox Island, Isla Blanca beach has ideal wind conditions for kiteboarding and is a favorite place to go boat fishing or fly fishing for Barracuda, Tarpon, Bonefish, Snook, and Permit.
Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Tulum
The Riviera Maya has many nature parks, eco parks, and nature reserves, such as Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987 after being established in 1986, it is the largest protected area in the Mexican Caribbean and the largest protected coastal area in Mexico at 1.3 million acres (or 652,000 hectares). This remote jungle area consists primarily of tropical rainforests, wetlands, the Caribbean Sea, and coral reefs, which make it ideal for fly fishing, snorkeling, and nature tours.
Sian Ka'an is overflowing with biodiversity, including 1,200 plant species, 230 tree species, 345 bird species, 318 butterfly species; and puma, jaguar, manatee, crocodiles, tapir, spider and howler monkeys; hawksbill, loggerhead, and green sea turtles; and even 23 Mayan archaeological sites. Located 230 kilometers (143 miles) south of Cancun in the Mayan Zone (Zona Maya) of Tulum, Sian Ka'an is a 2-3 hour drive from Cancun along coastal Highway 307 through the Costa Maya and the jungle.
Cenote Yokdzonot, Yucatan
Thousands of cenotes (natural sinkholes or cavernous wells) exist in the Yucatan Peninsula, containing fascinating stalactites, stalagmites, and crystalline or clear blue water. Once part of underground rivers and caves whose roofs collapsed, cenotes evolved after thousands of years of geological changes in the earth and are one of four different types: (1) completely below ground, (2) partially below ground, (3) at ground level, or (4) open but below ground level. Ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, most cenotes reach depths of 5 to 15 meters (16-20 feet).
Yokdzonot Mayan village contains a cenote said to reach depths of 35 meters (115 feet) at its edges, possibly connecting to an underground network of caves and rivers, and is estimated to reach depths of 45 meters (148 feet) at its center. As a sustainable tourism project, Yokdzonot cenote and ecological park were opened by local Mayan women in 2007. Located 300 meters off of old Highway 181, Yokdzonot is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of Merida, 220 kilometers (137 miles) west of Cancun, and 18 kilometers (11 miles) west of Chichen Itza Mayan ruins.

Tencent Wants a Bigger Cut of Game Sales
(Bloomberg) -- Tencent Holdings Ltd. is pressing China's top smartphone vendors and app stores to boost the cut of revenue it gets from games sold through their platforms, people familiar with the matter said, stepping up efforts to claw back profits as its business slows.The social media giant is seeking as much as 70% of the sales generated from its games, up from just 50% now, said the people, who requested anonymity discussing private negotiations. That would bring Tencent's portion in line with the proportion shared with game publishers on other platforms, including Apple Inc.'s iOS store and Google Play, which each keep 30% of revenue that comes from apps. Negotiations vary from platform to platform, and Tencent may not be asking as much from each app store operator, the people said.Tencent is keen to shore up its bottom line as growth in China, the world's No. 2 economy, decelerates, sapping consumer spending on entertainment and hurting advertising. The company's gaming division -- its largest -- was battered in 2018 by a series of regulatory crackdowns and in May, Tencent reported the smallest increase in sales since going public in 2004.At the same time, Tencent has gained leverage in negotiations because the pipeline of new games has shrunk, the result of Beijing's clampdown on what it views as gaming addiction among youths. Fewer than 5,000 new games will be approved this year, versus more than 8,500 in 2017, Asia-focused gaming researcher Niko Partners estimates.Tencent "is likely to gain stronger bargaining power against its distribution channels," Citigroup analysts led by Alicia Yap wrote in a research note this week.The social media titan initiated talks in recent weeks with most of the country's largest app stores, run by leading smartphone makers such as Oppo, Lenovo Group Ltd. and Xiaomi Corp., as well as internet outfits such as Baidu Inc. and 360, the people said. Tencent is focusing on only a subset of its games at present, they added. But if the 70-30 split becomes the standard, that could translate into billions of dollars of additional revenue annually.Tencent dominates the market thanks to its all-purpose WeChat app, which serves more than a billion people, and a development machine that consistently cranks out hits such as Honour of Kings and Peacekeeper Elite. Now, the company is taking advantage of its heft -- its closest rival is the much smaller NetEase Inc. -- to pressure app distributors to cough up more revenue, the people said.P.H. Cheung, a spokesman for Tencent, didn't immediately respond to an email and text query on the company's plans, which were previously reported by gaming industry media outlet Gamelook. Baidu and Oppo declined to comment.Those negotiations are by no means all one-sided. If anything, Tencent may have to work hard to change the status quo. The country's four biggest smartphone names -- Oppo, Vivo, Huawei Technologies Co. and Xiaomi -- run app stores for their users that together account for about 40% of market share.Among the new titles Tencent wants a bigger revenue cut on is role-playing mainstay JX Online 3, developed by China's Kingsoft Corp., and Crazyracing Kartrider, a mobile remake of a popular title from South Korea's Nexon Co., one person said. As of now, neither title is available on stores operated by Oppo and Vivo, suggesting those two device-makers have yet to agree to Tencent's proposal.App developers and publishers compete to get games listed on those stores, whose operators host in-game payments for things such as virtual goods, character skins and power-ups. In return, developers get a cut of that revenue. Unlike in the U.S. and Europe, where a 70-30 split is common, revenue-sharing varies hugely across different Chinese stores but is commonly pegged at 50%. Furthermore, that cut is usually negotiated directly with each of the stores, sometimes on a game-by-game basis.What's in the app stores' favor is the sheer volume of competition. While Google Play is blocked in China, there are approximately 400 Android app stores, though many have an extremely small number of mobile users. The country's app stores focus especially heavily on games because that's where the money is -- many don't even levy a cut of revenue at all on non-gaming apps.\--With assistance from Lulu Yilun Chen.To contact Bloomberg News staff for this story: Zheping Huang in Hong Kong at zhuang245@bloomberg.net;Gao Yuan in Beijing at ygao199@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Tom Giles at tgiles5@bloomberg.net, Edwin Chan, Colum MurphyFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Audio apps are flying high in China. On Friday, a total of 26 audio-focused apps were ordered to terminate, suspend services, or have talks with regulators as they were investigated and deemed to have spread "historical nihilism" and "pornography," according to a notice posted by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC). Last month, Apple restricted Chinese users from accessing podcasts that aren't hosted by its local partners, effectively preventing those with a Chinese Apple account from consuming content unchecked by Chinese censors.

Tencent Leads China's Effort to Slap Age Ratings on Games
(Bloomberg) -- China's biggest game developers including Tencent Holdings Ltd. have stepped up efforts to build a system to rate games for different ages, as the government tightens its control over a $38 billion industry it accuses of fomenting teenage addiction.More than 10 of the country's top gaming firms -- including Tencent, NetEase Inc. and Perfect World -- have teamed up to devise a system to assign games to one of four age categories, according to a proposal carried on the People's Daily's website. The effort is led by the online edition of the state-backed newspaper, often regarded as the mouthpiece of the Communist Party.The rare instance of collaboration among often fierce rivals underscores the industry's eagerness to pander to Beijing after a devastating 2018 crackdown. The proposed system will assign categories for players -- from the ages of 6, 12, 16 and 18 upward -- to titles based on content, genres and in-app purchases, among other things. Children under six are not recommended to play games on their own, according to draft rules.It's unclear how developers and publishers intend to enforce the ratings. The system is expected to be rolled out nationwide after an expert committee of researchers, press members and gaming executives have had time to assess and provide feedback, according to the People's Daily's online edition.China doesn't have a self-regulating organization that assigns ratings to games like the U.S. Entertainment Software Rating Board. The ESRB, for instance, slaps ratings such as "A" -- adults, or 18 and above -- "Teen" or "Everyone" on games based primarily on age.Publishers are required to obtain government licenses for games sold domestically. But the process was suspended for nine months last year as Beijing attempted to reduce screen time for teenagers. That freeze, which wiped hundreds of billions of dollars off Tencent's market value, spurred industry players to appease regulators by imposing stricter time limits on minors, while cleaning up content.To contact the reporter on this story: Zheping Huang in Hong Kong at zhuang245@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Edwin Chan at echan273@bloomberg.net, Colum MurphyFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

This Cult Videogame Is Facing Down Copycats in China
(Bloomberg) -- In The Legend of Mir, warriors and sorcerers battle creatures from an ancient universe. Now, WeMade Co.'s long-time videogame hit is at the center of a string of legal battles that could serve as a rallying cry for foreign companies harboring grievances against Chinese rivals.Over the last three years, the South Korean studio's chief executive officer, Henry Chang, has filed about 65 lawsuits in China, Singapore and South Korea against Chinese gaming studios, attempting to block what he alleges are unlicensed versions of his two-decade-old title.That makes the 44-year-old one of the few foreign executives audacious enough to challenge a batch of Chinese firms in the world's largest videogame market.He's already racked up a few victories: In December, a Beijing court ordered Guangzhou-based 37 Interactive Entertainment Technology Co. to stop selling a game allegedly based on Mir. In May, a Singapore-based arbitration court required a unit of China's Kingnet Network Co. to pay WeMade 468 million yuan ($68 million) in royalties.Chang's crusade provides a window into new challenges facing a $38 billion videogame industry dominated by local behemoths Tencent Holdings Ltd. and NetEase Inc. Chinese courts are taking a tougher stance on copyright laws. And while multinationals have long avoided filing suits against rivals in China, Chang feels it's now worth the effort partly because U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war has raised awareness about intellectual property."Some people say Trump is bringing the world to its end, but I think he's playing a positive role when it comes to China, " said Chang, a grey-haired executive who prefers jeans to suits "He's speeding up China's change through pressure."Chang could also use the money: WeMade now relies on royalties from licensed games like Mir for half its revenue.On its WeChat account on May 10, before the arbitration court's ruling, Kingnet said that although it was open to negotiations, the damages WeMade was seeking were too high. It urged the South Korean firm to stop "ill-intentioned" lawsuits and "unreasonable" demands. Tencent didn't comment, while Kingnet and 37 Interactive didn't respond to questions."We fully respect the intellectual property rights of others and of our own, and we are a constant advocate for the protection of copyright," NetEase said in an emailed statement. "NetEase has always had a 'zero tolerance' policy toward copycatting/plagiarism."Even before the trade war, Chinese courts had begun enhancing protections for intellectual property, as more domestic corporations climbed the value chain and produced cutting-edge innovations. But Chang feels that's accelerated as Trump called attention to the issue.He hopes winning more suits will boost profitability. Still, the effects of court battles like his could be felt beyond videogames."It would embolden more foreign companies, especially ones in the U.S. and Japan, to go ahead with suing Chinese firms on Chinese soil," said Wi Jong-hyun, a professor of business management at Seoul's Chung-Ang University. "These lawsuits would add headaches for Chinese companies who would no longer enjoy the kind of protection they would in the past."Foreign firms are restricted from selling games without a local partner in China, which research firm Newzoo estimates is home to more than 600 million gamers. But growth slowed for the industry after Beijing froze licenses for new games for nine months last year and attempted to reduce screen time for teenagers.Other international companies, including U.S.-based Activision Blizzard Inc. and Seoul-based PUBG Corp., have previously sued Chinese firms for allegedly ripping off content. And the gaming industry in other parts of the world, including South Korea, has in the past been blamed for allowing other varieties of copycats.But Byun Ung-jae, a lawyer with Seoul-based Yulchon LLC, said China's courts have become quicker to prohibit possible knockoffs from selling."WeMade stands out because they've been brave and dogged enough to take the fight to the court for quite some time," said Byun, who doesn't have business ties with the company. "China's gaming industry has also grown huge now, so the country also feels it's time to provide protection for its own sake."WeMade struck gold about 20 years ago when it released Mir through Shanda Games in China, getting as many as 200 million people to sign up at one point.But in the summer of 2015, as Chang traveled to China, he was shocked to learn that games almost identical to Mir were in service there.Yet his company had spotted red flags years before. In 2003, WeMade sued Shanda for allegedly copying Mir in its own game without licensing. The dispute was settled several years later, after Shanda bought a majority stake in a Korean company that is a Mir co-licensor.Shanda, which still runs the original Mir game in China and didn't respond to a request for comment, is in a separate lawsuit with WeMade about renewing their licensing agreement.Winning isn't easy. In April, a Hangzhou court issued an injunction, temporarily stopping another Kingnet unit from publishing one version of a game WeMade said was based on Mir. Kingnet produced a new version, sparking another round of legal battles over what WeMade says is really the same game.It's easy to see why Chang likes Trump's toughness on China, but he also worries about a trade war escalation."It has been positive so far, with China showing off its judicial system," Chang said. "But if this really turns into a war, it may no longer feel like doing so."To contact the reporters on this story: Sam Kim in Seoul at skim609@bloomberg.net;Zheping Huang in Hong Kong at zhuang245@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Edwin Chan at echan273@bloomberg.net, Anjali CordeiroFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Censors at Chinese internet companies say tools to detect and block content related to the 1989 crackdown have reached unprecedented levels of accuracy, aided by machine learning and voice and image recognition.
