The license allows me to sell 2000 copies. If i distribute this song for free, is there a limit?
Technically, the licensing agreement considers a distributed copy (whether paid or not) as royalty bearing, which would count toward your licensing limit. If you were to give away more than 2000 copies of your mastered track, you could be liable to pay royalties for the copies in excess of 2000 that you distributed even though you hadn't made a cent on them.
If I bought premium rights to a beat and was trying to get radio play, would it be possible for me to do that or would i have to have exclusive rights to the beat.
It depends on the license terms that the seller is offering. If the license terms state that you can air the mastered track on the radio, then you would be entitled to do that under the terms of the license.
What is a "free download" exactly? How or where can it be used?
A free download cannot be used for production music or any profitable use. It is provided for song-writing purposes and use in demo recordings only. To use this beat in a mastered track or profitable distribution, you must purchase an appropriate license.
How to verify the authenticity of a signed license certificate.
Licenses can be verified online using our digital registry.
Choosing which license is right for you depends on the needs of you project. If you need certain rights for certain uses, your best bet would be to compare what each license offers, and see if the rights granted fit your project demands. Basic licenses are generally used for small projects, premium licenses tend to be used for larger projects that require more units sold and/or more ways to use the master recording, and exclusive rights are for more mainstream projects.
We use the term "license certificate" to refer to the digitally signed license file that comes with every beat purchased through our online marketplace. The license certificate constitutes the legal proof of rights granted between the buyer and seller for beats purchased on Beat Brokerz.
The "license certificate" is actually just a human readable text file which outlines in plain english the terms under which any given instrumental beat was sold. A digital signature which can only be produced by Beat Brokerz and is unique to each individual license certificate, is then added to the text file which serves as proof that we brokered the transaction and that the contract is legitimate.
We send each license certificate that we sign to both the licensee (buyer) and licensor (seller). In this way, both parties rights are protected as the license certificate is a secure proof of the transaction under the given terms.
If either party attempts to modify any terms outlined within the license certificate, the Beat Brokerz signature will not validate and the license certificate is not legitimate. And since we are the only one capable of generating our unique signature, it is not possible for anybody to make up their own license certificate and claim that a beat was licensed under it.
When does a license expire?
If the term stated on the license certificate has been reached, the license is expired.
If the quantity of units sold has reached the limit set in the license certificate, the license is expired.
How do exclusive rights work?
When you purchase exclusive rights to use instrumental music here on Beat Brokerz, you are taking the ability away from other recording artists to license and use that instrumental music. After the sale of a license which includes exclusive rights, the beat is de-listed in the marketplace and all licenses for the beat become unavailable for purchase.
You should also be aware that exclusive rights to use a beat are not necessarily permanent. Since licenses can expire when certain limits are reached, exclusive rights can expire along with that. For example, a license that includes exclusive rights and a license term of 2 years, would grant you the exclusive use of that instrumental beat for 2 years... at which point your license would expire and the beat could be licensed again to other artists.
What is a beat lease?
A "beat lease" is a generic way to reference a non-exclusive license of instrumental music. It's like calling an automobile a car.
Licenses are offered by producers for the use of their instrumental music in performance and production. A license must be purchased in order to legally use the instrumental music in any profitable distribution of derivative works.
Producers have the flexibility to offer different licensing options on their instrumentals in our marketplace to suit different usage scenarios. Any given instrumental beat may have a number of different licenses available for purchase, each suited to a specific type of buyer. In this way, instrumental beats can be sold for a price that is appropriate to how they intend to be used.
Once a license is purchased for a beat in the Beat Brokerz marketplace, a license certificate is generated and signed digitally for legal purposes. It is then sent out with the order to both the buyer (licensee) and the seller (licensor). The license certificate acts as the legal contract between the artist and producer.
If I buy a beat or instrumental from this website, what can I use it for?
Well, it depends.... Beat Brokerz is a dynamic marketplace where producers are able to set their own licensing terms and conditions for the sale of their instrumental music. So what you will be using the beat for will usually determine what license you purchase from the producer.
With that said, in order to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible for you (the buyer) to understand; every license for sale here is structured in a standardized way.
Essentially, when you purchase a license using the Beat Brokerz service, you are granted the right to make a derivative work from the instrumental music and in nearly all cases, sell that derivative work for a profit. You are also granted the right to perform the derivative work. How you sell or perform that derivative work is entirely up to you, however, the license defines how much of that you can actually do without paying royalties back to the producer.


In the pursuit of success, safety, fulfillment and various other achievements besides, people make use of their particular advantages, circumstances and tools at their disposal. Whether they are born with certain talents or seek to improve their lives through sheer effort and will, self-advancement is a relevant topic for all of us. This week, we want to examine the distinctions between talent and hard work as two, oft-compared means of achieving a goal. Does society prefer one over the other? Do we associate either with a certain class or economic background? Does one provide a more compelling story or narrative?

Daintree community mourns death of tourism identity
In Attractions, Australian Cultural Exports, Australian Domestic Tourism, Community, National Headlines, Queensland
From the Cairns Post, 28th May 2015
THE Daintree community has been left heartbroken by the road death of local tourism stalwart Dennis "Lee" Lafferty.
The 75-year-old crocodile cruise operator died after his ute failed to negotiate a bend on the Mossman Daintree Rd and hit a tree on Tuesday.
He was the 19th person to die on Far North roads since the start of the year.
There has been an outpouring of grief in the town where he operated the Daintree River Cruise Centre for 28 years.
Douglas Shire Mayor Julia Leu described Mr Lafferty as a "lovely man and a gentleman" whom she had known for more than 20 years.
"He was one of the pioneers in the Daintree tourism industry and one of the oldest-running operators on the Daintree River," she said. "He had a lot of friends and he will be very sadly missed."
Bruce Belcher, operator of Bruce Belcher's Daintree River Cruises, had known Mr Lafferty for more than three decades.
He said the fellow cruise operator, who lived only 500m away, would have been driving home to the Daintree from Mossman when he crashed.
He described Mr Lafferty as a strong conservationist.
"He was concerned about boats speeding on the river and causing a wake," he said.
"That had something to do with the boats slowing down many years ago, and that's been maintained. He was conscientious about the river, its health, and its wildlife.
"He was very popular."
WELL REMEMBERED: Douglas Shire Mayor Julia Leu described Mr Lafferty as a "lovely man and a gentleman" whom she had known for more than 20 years. PIC: ANGELIQUE PATTERSON
Jaki Turner, owner of Crocodile Express Daintree River Cruises, said the community was reeling.
"The whole village is shattered,'' she said.
Ms Turner, who knew Mr Lafferty since he arrived in the Daintree in 1980, described him as a gentleman who "did not have a bad bone in his body". She said he lived alone with his best mate, a bichon frise dog named Melton.
"He used to go down to the local pub every Friday night. He liked being around other people,'' she said.
Mr Lafferty is survived by his two daughters.
Police are considering whether an existing medical condition, speeding or mechanical fault may have played a factor in the crash.
Mossman Sgt Matt Smith, who also knew Mr Lafferty, said it had been devastating for the community.
"This just shows the ripple effect these incidents have on entire communities," he said.

I'd been looking forward to doing a mini-tour with Hiroshima accordion artist Goto Izumi for most of the summer, and I'm glad to report it was just as much fun as I hoped it would be. The Thomasburg concert series is turning out to be a raging success, despite the fact that Thomasburg is barely a dot on the map, and my leg of the tour ended on a high note at the Smiling Buddha in Toronto. I like that we ranged from rural to metropolis in three short dates.
I had fun debuting new material and getting into some theatrics, but mostly I learned a lot watching Izumi's approach to performing. Although she had some key ideas and set pieces, her performances were extremely fluid. Each night I saw her was a completely different show, and her ability to read the crowd was uncanny. If it sounds like I'm pumping her material, I'm not - I'm describing what I admired and what I'd most like to incorporate into my own act. Plus, she can play the hell out that accordion. I had a great time playing a saw duet with her on the last night, and I hope it'll go up on YouTube in the not-too-distant future.
I also enjoyed Danish filmmaker Sofie Ivan Andersen's film Dream Circus, which screened after the music, not to mention all her help with organization and translation. She was shooting footage for a new music doc, so if I make the final cut of the film, you can bet I'll be bragging like mad, but even if I don't, I'd recommending looking up the film when it goes online or trying to catch a screening. Thanks too to Jarret of the Fire Flower Revue for performing and organizing.
One of the great things about having visitors from way out of town is that everybody profits from the exchange. Izumi met Will and Verna Walker of Reklaw Farms at the Thomasburg show, and the next day we got some check out their organic operation (and watch a six-year old ride a pig). It made for some great photos, which is where the pic at right comes from.
I think I'm going to take some at-home vacation for the next few days, so this site won't be updated as frequently. I have about a half-dozen projects in mind for September, though, so I'll be back with a vengeance in the fall. In the next year I'd like to record my latest originals, an old-time album, and perhaps a sequel or two to Two-Headed Hippopotamus on a Bootjack - maybe Return of the Two Headed Hippopotamus or Son of Two-Headed Hippopotamus on a Bootjack? A friend has also challenged me to record some songs of Milarepa, the eleventh century Buddhist poet and saint, to the tune of "Big Rock Candy Mountain." I accept - there are apparently a hundred thousand songs to choose from. Also, the maple bugs have mysteriously returned to my backyard, good news for anyone who enjoyed the Painting with Bug Blood series... Feel free to drop me a line if there's anything you'd like to see or hear first!
hey. i had a great time in thomasburg. see you next time.

Euro 2012 | Preview: Group B
Tom Hall Sports June 5, 2012 June 12, 2012 5 Minutes
Euro 2012: GROUP B PREVIEW
In my Group A Preview, I described the concept of the GROUP OF DEATH as
"a gathering of four teams so alike in stature and potential that any one of them might go on to win the group or miss qualification for the knock out stages. These groups usually feature perennial powerhouses, each a favorite, each impossible to look beyond. The GROUP OF DEATH means thrills, uncertainty, triumph and heartbreak. You can't look away, each match having the potential to be a classic."
Well. Welcome to the Group of Death, Euro 2012 style.
Group B has all the makings of greatness, with two of the tournament favorites, Germany and The Netherlands, battling it out for supremacy alongside an historically strong but underachieving Portugal and 1992 surprise winners Denmark (who actually beat Portugal and won Group H in qualifying). This should be a lot of fun to watch, with two of the best teams, perhaps the in-form striker in the world right now and the best European player of the season all colliding in a single group. Let's get to the previewing, shall we?
Denmark are a strange team. Yeah, I said it. On the one hand, they are organized, disiciplined and have some very good players; defender Daniel Agger (homer alert: he plays for my Liverpool side at club level) and the exciting young talent Christian Eriksen of Ajax are the types of player that can turn a match with a bombing run forward or a beautiful ball from nothing. On the other hand, you watch Denmark play and the game often falls to the team trying to get the ball to striker Nicklas Bendtner, who can score but who is often isolated in attack. The result? Inconsistency and a lack of fluid play in the midfield creates frustration, until a moment of brilliance, seemingly from nowhere, saves the day. Unfortunately for the Danes, Group B won't allow any "get out of jail free" cards; too much quality in the Group sees Denmark struggle.
Denmark's all-ink frontrunner Daniel Agger
Tipped by many as finalists at worst, winners at best, Joachim Low's fluid, powerful German side have all the makings of a real contender. I am sure I could sit here and make jokes all day about how Germany are "mechanical" and "methodical" but the fact of the matter is, this is not your father's Germany. Full of flair and chemistry, Low's Germany team have many ways of beating you; in the air, on the ground, from crosses and through balls, set pieces and counter attacks. Just ask Group B rivals The Netherlands, who played a friendly with Germans back in November and took a 3-0 beating. One of the great things about watching the Germans play is the dedication of each player to his role in Low's system; Lahm's sweeping runs, Ozil's patient and beautiful passing, Muller's arrival at just the right moment, Schweinstiger's control and disruption, Neuer's distribution. Everyone on Germany plays just the right part, and I expect big things from them in this tournament. Of course, there is one major stumbling block on the way to glory, it's probably…
Joachim Low keeps Germany ticking
Nobody is scoring goals right now like Robin van Persie; a classic center forward in every sense of the word, the Arsenal man has been unstoppable leading the line for his club and country. When you add a playmaker like Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder and the pace and skill of Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben into the mix, you have the makings of a deadly attack. Of course, that has never been a problem for the Dutch; it is the back line where the Oranje have had a few concerns. Yes, the team are filled with quality players at every position, but somehow, the Dutch always seem prone to the sucker punch; look at their recent 2-1 loss to Bulgaria for the most recent example of the counter attack causing this team agony. Of course, they can also play lights out, dominate the ball and they remain the best team never to have won the World Cup (losing the most recent 2010 final to Spain). Their match against Germany in the group stage will be the true test of the team; win that match, and suddenly, the Dutch will be looking like contenders to lift the trophy.
You down with RVP? Yeah, you know me…
Portugal begin and end with one man, the most prolific European goal scoring machine of the past few years, Cristiano Ronaldo. When he is not battling Lionel Messi for the La Liga scoring title with Real Madrid, Ronaldo is turning in disappointing performances for his national team. For some reason, mental or tactical, I am just not sure, Ronaldo never turns it on for his country in the same way he does for his club. One factor is obviously that, at Madrid, he is surrounded by world class players in a league without much parity. When playing for Portugal, Ronaldo is surrounded by good players who just can't seem to put it all together. This team are no exception; their form coming into the Euros is poor (0-0 with Poland and Macedonia, losing 3-1 to Turkey), their qualifying campaign was bizarre (a 4-4 draw with Cyprus, losses to Norway and Denmark) and they just don't seem to gel as a team. Without a true #10 in the midfield to connect the play between the attack and defense (show pony Ricardo Quaresma wears the 10 for Portugal), they look lost. Unfortunately, Group B is not the place to go looking for an identity. Disappointment looms.
Ronaldo scores goals. Lots of goals.
Is this even a question? Irresistible force, meet immovable object. It has to be Germany vs The Netherlands on Wednesday June 13th. Few Group stage matches ever feature this level of excitement. These two teams will bring down the house– position by position, player by player, they are about as equally matched as any two teams in the Euros. Any other year, this might be the final. It still may…
Group B features several all-universe players– Ronaldo, Van Persie, Sneijder, Robben, Ozil– but one man who will likely be the one to decide the fate of his team is Germany's Mario Gomez. The Bayern Munich striker is the definition of the poacher, always seeming to pop-up in the right place at the right time to grab a vital goal. That said, he runs super hot and, suddenly, super cold; hardly the most technically gifted player, Gomez can switch from assassin to absolute donkey at the drop of a hat. He'll have some of the most incredible misses you'll ever see, only to follow them up with a 93rd minute tap in to win the match. If Germany can get Gomez going, watch out; if he struggles, there may be others to pick up the slack, but it will take some doing to go all the way without him at the top of his game.
Mario Gomez: He Scores When He Wants To
I like Germany to win the Group, with The Netherlands right behind them into the knock-out stages, Denmark to nick third against a very disappointing Portugal.
Agger

I certainly agree that Gomez is the key to Germany's game, but with a Dutch attack in even partial form, Gomez, even in his best form, will fall short of putting his team on top. Hup Holland Hup!!
James McNally says:
I've got Germany going all the way this time. Such a beautiful team to watch.

Kansas City launches yearlong scooter, e-bike program
By: 41 Action News Staff
Three companies will be part of a pilot program aimed at providing Kansas City officials with more information about scooters and electric bikes.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three companies will be part of a pilot program aimed at providing Kansas City officials with more information about scooters and electric bikes.
Bird, which already operates dockless scooters in Kansas City, along with Spin and RideKC will be part of the yearlong program, the city announced Thursday.
The three scooter providers #KCMO will go with for this pilot program are @RideKCTransit @SPIN and @BirdRide . @41actionnews pic.twitter.com/PbGCFIRazz
— Nick Starling (@NickStarlingTV) May 9, 2019
The three companies will pay a $250 application fee and a $15,000 annual permit to operate in Kansas City. In addition, dockless scooter providers will pay $1 per day per device, and docked e-bike companies will pay $50 per year per device, according to a news release from the city.
The city said it created the scooter and e-bike program as a way to provide alternate modes of transportation and to gain data and information that will help the city determine potential revisions to city code.
Other objectives of the program include evaluating operations throughout the year and during special events, as well as streamlining the permitting and licensing process for companies.
"We want to create more options for getting from homes to jobs, which will create more economic opportunities for Kansas City residents," said Jason Waldron, associate director of multimodal transportation for the city, in the news release. "That's why the social equity part of this pilot program is so important."
RideKC, which already operates e-bikes in the city, will be adding scooters to its fleet.
"We are excited to be part of this project in moving Kansas City's transportation options into the future," said Eric Vaughan, director of bike share and business services. "Kansas City is paving the path for the entire country by offering the first electric bike and scooter options that will be fully integrated with the regional transit system, RideKC Bike and RideKC Scooter."
We are pleased to announce that we have been chosen by @KCMO as an #ebike and #scooter operator! Did we say scooters? Yes we did! pic.twitter.com/zSi1D6Lu5K

Although the number of passengers recorded at Keflavík International Airport located near Iceland's capital Reykjavik increased over the last years until 2018, it declined in 2020 to less than 1.4 million due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, Keflavík is by far the most popular airport in the Nordic country, based on the number of international passengers. Whereas nearly ten million people arrived at or departed from Keflavík in 2019, the number of international passengers at Reykjavík, Akureyri, and Egilsstaðir airports amounted to overall only about 44,000.
Most visitors came from the United States
According to a statistic from 2019, the leading nationality of visitors arriving at Keflavík International Airport, opened in 1943 by the U.S. Armed Forces, was the United States. Roughly 441,000 passengers were recorded from this country. The United Kingdom and Germany followed in second and third place.
Reason for falling passenger numbers
The reason for the decline of passenger numbers at Keflavík Airport is the end of operations of Iceland's low-cost airline WOW air in the beginning of 2019. Its planes used this airport as a hub to reach destinations in Europe and North America.

I've been racking up the miles this year, literally Piling them on. Problem is they have all been air miles! With a grand total of 11 rides and 500km since the start of the year. A fractured hip, and business trips to Indonesia, Munich, UK and turkey. My first race was never going to be a walk in the park.
2km flat followed by 10km straight up, simply isn't called for with my current form. Competitive as I am, I tried to hold the pace of the front group. Whittled down to 40 riders, over the first 70 km and 5 climbs. Unfortunately 167bpm average heart rate for 2 hours racing and not even at the half way point, my body decided to not play ball any more.
I think they probably heard the explosion from the finish!! Total shut down. What followed was 2 of the worst hours I have experienced on a bike. And believe me I've been doing this a long time. Every group that caught me, went straight past in a blur, so I didn't even have the luxury of wheels to sit on.
Anyway I limped my way to the finish to find out that things hadn't been great for the rest of the team either. New signing Matteo Zannelli was in the 5 man break that was caught in sight of the finish and 2 others were caught in the middle of a mass pile up in the 30 man sprint.
Not a great start to the season, but that's bike racing, and it is only march, so things can only get better.
On a positive note, my travels to source the worlds finest clothing manufacturers is going well. I spent last week in istanbul, working on our new "pro line" collection, of high end road apparel, and seamless baselayers and accessories. This week I'm off again, to Portugal. so we can look forward to some fantastic new garments in the near future. Think the form will remain pretty much where it is though, non existent !!!!

Q: How access Node console log So I am uploading my Node code to a device and so I cannot really see the console and hence cannot see the log. I was wondering if there was any way to 'access' the log using HTTP? I know when console.log() is called it writes to process.stdout.
I tried process.stdout.pipe(response) //inside a proper HTTP server code block of course. But it did not work.
Any suggestions?
TIA

A: I ended up doing as @Sangram Singh suggested and hosted my Node app on my local machine for now and debugging it here. Luckily the errors I am getting are the same as the errors I was getting when it was hosted on the device.

Crazy Abuse
Not Isolated Incidents
Abrianna
WHEN MENTAL ILLNESS BECAME A DEATH SENTENCE
ABUSE IN THE CRIMINAL SYSTEM
Mentally ill inmates generally spend their entire sentences in isolation, suffering terrible abuse and neglect. They leave without the tools to manage their illness in an even worse mental condition. Inmates in isolation only have contact with a very limited number of guards, other inmates, and the outside world; which can make it impossible to report abuse.
In some institutions the abuse has gotten out of control, it's lead to torture and murder. In these places, torture is standard operating procedure. These cases are easy to cover up by staging natural death or suicide. These are the few stories where a cover up was impossible. However, with lack of real punitive action these facilities have had multiple instances of torture and murder. We will record murder done by each facility to draw even more attention to which prisons are allowing these practices to continue.
Many of the following died due to very petty crimes. For example, one young man who died had only stolen $5.05 worth of snacks. None of them were in for a violent offense, mostly drug related arrests. Their convictions are also listed.

In episode 7, readers voted to stall and hope Taryn snaps out of it, figures out a way to save everyone and still fights Beckham's control.
The headaches were almost constant now. The Voice and its desperate, enchanting, maddening song were constant and oftentimes all she could hear. The fight against its control was becoming a never-ending struggle and she wanted nothing more than to sleep. She hadn't had more than a few hours' in what felt like weeks. She existed in some sort of fog where she pretended to be on Beckham's side and pretended she could ignore the Voice.
She was with Beckham constantly now. Outside Pearce waged his war and in the control room, Captain Aaron threw all his energy into getting them to their new home, but she had no contact with them. It would have been far too dangerous. Beckham as smart as he'd always said he was. He did know what was going on all over the ship. He knew that Cassidy had teamed up with Pearce and they were waging a war. He knew that Captain Aaron was racing to get to their new home in an attempt to stop him. He didn't know that Taryn was involved, though, and that surprised her to no end. She supposed it had something to do with the Voice, which seemed to be spending all its time trying to force her to comply with him. It needed her and she was certain that was the only thing keeping her safe.
When Pearce finally did something, Taryn had to suppress a cheer. It was a childish prank involving a lot of blue dye and old fish, but it bothered Beckham to no end. He ranted and ranted about how he would show Pearce how foolish he had been. How he would get him back.
"What will you do to them?" Taryn had finally asked.
"I will deal with them later. Right now, we'll play their game. Nothing serious. One show of might will break them. Wait and see, Taryn. They'll come crawling to me asking for my forgiveness and my blessing. But they won't get it," Beckham said with a glint she couldn't quite read in his eye.
Taryn didn't respond. She wondered if Pearce knew what kind of game he was playing.
Much to her relief, Beckham's one show of might did nothing. In fact, the tides had finally started to turn against him. True, most on the ship were still terrified of him, but they finally had someone to rally behind. After weeks of scuffles in the hallways, Beckham called her and Richmond to him. He had a plan.
As Beckham laid out his plan, the Voice sang until Taryn felt she would be sick.
Make them pay for it. Make them bleed. Show them our might. Show them who is right. You are as strong as the stars. They are weak being made of flesh. Kill them all. No mercy.
"I am going to give Pearce a choice. Stop the rebellion, save his friend and all the other sleepers or go on and I will open the doors. Either way, I will kill him and the girl. They're too dangerous, don't you think?" Beckham asked her finally.
At his words, Taryn's skin crawled. For the first time in a while, she felt fully like herself.
"Beckham, wait," she started.
Beckham turned to her expectantly, but then something amazing happened. Her words of protest died on her tongue and she heard the Voice's words come out of her mouth.
"We will need to do something about the captain," it said.
Beckham nodded and resumed his plotting. Taryn tried to scream at him, stop him, do anything, but she was stuck. The Voice had her now. She couldn't so much as breathe without its permission which it made very, very clear. She watched with horror as Richmond subdued Captain Aaron and put Cassidy into a deep, deep sleep that Taryn feared she would never wake from.
The moment Pearce was summoned, she tried to call out to him, stop him. The most she did was let out a strange, barely audible, cough-like sound that no one heard. It was enough, though, to give her a glimmer of hope.
"Well, Pearce? What'll be?" Beckham asked with a broad grin on his face.
Pearce didn't answer. He had frozen. He looked like some wild animal caught up in a net. Taryn had to speak before he made his decision. She knew whatever he said, it would be the wrong one. He would die either way and so would Captain Aaron. It would just be her against Beckham and she couldn't win that way. She needed them.
His eyes met hers and suddenly the Voice stopped.
She didn't know how long they had been in that room. She didn't know how long it took her to act. What she did know is that she had punched Beckham hard. If he hadn't been about to kill close to fifty people, she would have laughed at his face as he toppled from the chair.
"PEARCE! WAKE THEM UP!" she screamed, savoring each word.
With a nod, Pearce ran from the room and through the crowd that had gathered to watch the confrontation. She saw several of them run down the corridor with him. Good. He had reinforcements.
In the control room, Richmond made a menacing move towards her.
"Don't! The Voice still needs me," Taryn said, holding an outstretched palm to Richmond.
He froze. Beckham righted himself. His face was livid.
"What the hell was that?" he spat at her. What does Pearce decide to do? Please return to the top of this episode to vote on what happens next!

NBC Las Vegas affiliate KSNV reported that the Friday night incident landed 50-year-old Brenda Stokes behind bars after an unnamed victim was left with deep cuts to her face.
The reported altercation took place in one of the high-profile luxury casino's pits, a spokeswoman for the Bellagio told the station.
Stokes was charged with burglary, two counts of battery with a deadly weapon and mayhem, according to Clark County online inmate records. She was due in court Dec. 26.
Stokes allegedly had an "edged blade," a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The victim's condition was unknown, and police could not confirm whether the two dealers were working at the time.

AUTHOR ROSIE Alison recently asked Amazon.co.uk to check out reviews of her books on its site.
The author had started to see a pattern developing in negative reviews which she feared was an online "stalker".
Alison, short-listed for her novel The Very Thought of You, contacted the online retailer after a series of critical reviews appeared on the site using 'cloned' phrasing and language. One posting used the name of her daughter.
Alison said: "I am perfectly open to critical reviews when stated under somebody's real name, but over a number of months I have had a few reviews that have made me suspicious, because the phrasing was similar and the names involved do not appear to have reviewed any other titles on the site.
"I let it go for some time but it was getting me down. A friend said 'do something about this anonymous assassin'. It's a personal thing and I feel distressed. It could be someone I know."
Publishing insiders say organising the posting of positive reviews for authors is a common practice. They ask writers if they have friends or family who will praise their new publication.
Employees also post favourable reviews under aliases.
On said: "Everyone used to do it on their Hotmail address but there was a case a few years ago where a publisher was caught out. We were told, 'Remember, everything can be tracked back to you.'"
However, publishers say they would stop short of using false reviews to badmouth books from rivals. One London publisher said: "Most editors I know will review books they feel passionate about under an alias, but I've never known anyone to slag off a competitor."
David Miller of literary agency Rogers, Coleridge and White has said he always recommended authors look at their sales figures on Amazon rather than the reviews. "I'm not going to trust either five-star or one-star reviews on Amazon, as there's always a potential agenda," he said. "Who am I going to trust? Someone who has taken time to review a book, and is being paid money to consider it judiciously, or somebody who is a disappointed customer?"

Free Irish Sheet Music
The Minstrel Boy
Free Irish sheet music "The Minstrel Boy" with guitar tabs in two keys, and as a lead sheet in seven keys. (If you are interested in a fleshed-out piano accompaniment, go to this page where there is a beautiful piano arrangement.)
This lovely melody makes a very nice instrumental or vocal solo, and the words pull at the heartstrings.
They fought like warrior-poets
As when the voice-over at the end of Braveheart says "they fought like warrior-poets", this is a song about a warrior, a soldier, a harper.
I love the words the minstrel says to his harp, "Thy songs were made for the pure and free - they shall never sound in slavery!" Then he breaks the strings rather than allow the enemy to capture it whole.
Black Hawk Down
From the movie Black Hawk Down (true story of a horrendous incident in Mogadishu during Bill Clinton's presidency), here is an audio of The Minstrel Boy:
FREEDOM!!!
The love of country, and especially the heroism of men embodied in this song, remind me of other Irish songs.
Actually, an awful lot of Irish songs do seem to be about battles for freedom, and DEFEAT. This song is about the faithfulness of a young man, a bard, a warrior-poet, with the final words sung to his harp.
Here is page two of the version with guitar tabs, available (at the bottom of the page) in both the keys of C and D:
Try finger-picking the chords
Fingerpicking is particularly beautiful and well-suited to this free Irish sheet music.
The key of D is easier for young guitarists, perhaps, unless they have mastered the F chord (to go with the key of C), but even the Bm and F#m chords in the key of D are not difficult with practice.
With Irish music, you are going to end up using the Bm chord pretty early on, so get with it!
Flat-pick in 2nd position
If your student wishes to flat-pick the melody in D, this is a good opportunity to explain "2nd position" to him. That is, using finger 1 in fret 2, finger 2 in fret 3, etc.
Lead sheets in multiple keys
And here are lead sheets for The Minstrel Boy, in seven keys. If you are interested in a fleshed-out piano accompaniment, go to this page where there is a beautiful piano arrangement.
Listen to this bagpiper! He's great!

Resident language expert Michael Yang shares some history behind 字, a very basic, but important Chinese character.
字 (zì) is a simple Chinese Character. It is one of the simplest characters in the Chinese language, and it also expresses what all of us think of as a simple idea: writing. The creation of this character though, was anything but simple. Here is the story of how the character字 (zì) came into the Chinese language.
The character 字 was created in the Xia dynasty. Although 字 is a very simple character, it was actually very difficult to create. After all, how does one create a picture of the idea of language? The people of the Xia dynasty considered 字 to be one of the most important Chinese characters, because not only did it represent writing, it also represented what was already one of the great achievements of their civilization. So, they tried very hard to figure out how to illustrate this character with lines.
Eventually, the scholars at that time came up with a great idea. The Chinese saw their children as being as valuable as gold, and they would do anything to protect them. So, using 子 (zi),the character for son or child, to indicate the significance of zì (writing) made sense. But how could people differentiate zi (child) and zì (writing)? That was a problem!
In the end, a 宝盖头 (bǎo gàitou), the top portion of the character 字, was used to show the difference between 子 (zi) and 字 (zì). In ancient times, 宝盖头 (bǎo gàitou) represented the idea of home, and since there weren't any kindergartens at that time, young children stayed at home most of the time and studied there. For this reason, the idea of using the image of a child at home to represent the idea of writing made sense.


With the release of "No Man's Sky" on PS4 earlier this week and ahead of its PC release tomorrow, it turns out plenty of players have already sunk a bunch of hours into the procedurally-generated space exploration adventure.
In fact, Kotaku reports that players have already taken such advantage of the infinite game world that around ten million different species have already been discovered according to developer Sean Murray. That is actually more species than have been discovered to date on our actual planet Earth.
The United Nations Environment Programme indicated that there are approximately 8.7 million discovered species as of 2011, but admits that nearly 90% of all land and sea creatures have "yet to be discovered, described or catalogued." That figure also doesn't take into account micro organisms or viruses.
Even so, for the game to have created such a rich range of biodiversity in just a few days has understandably astonished the developers.
For instance over night we hit 10 million species discovered in NMS… that's more than has been discovered on earth.

"So every few thousand years, these status come to life a kill people the only recorded event of these things called Stone Deaths was in a Roman battle agains the Celts, only two survivors, one Celt and one Roman" a dit Sam to the team, they all still seamed a little surprised that they let a 15 an old boy rejoindre the team in the future, properly less surprised if the knew the secret that Sam was keeping from them, he was Abby and Connor's son, but he didn't plan to tell them.
It was a warm jour in london, Connor had sat on the bench for over half an heure just waiting for him and his wife, Abby, to be called in for another anomaly job, but nothing, they just rested on the bench "might be a quiet jour today" a dit Abby, resting her head on Connor's shoulder "looks like" he replied.
Primeval is a British science fiction télévision programme produced for ITV par Impossible Pictures. Created par Adrian Hodges and Tim Haines, who previously created the Walking with... documentary series, Primeval follows a team of five scientists tasked with investigating the appearance of temporal anomalies across Great Britain and containing prehistoric and futuristic creatures which enter the present.
She knew it was her from the first glance. But she couldn't bring herself to tell Connor. Saying the name was enough to bring the past streaming back. Abby stood leaning at a mur as Connor flicked through the CDs that were neatly lined up in a rack just outside the used records shop. She hoped that he wouldn't see her, that all those memories wouldn't come flooding back. That wasn't fair on her either. She'd just had the old Connor back. The smiles, the jokes - as annoying as they were- she'd missed them all. Every small detail of Connor were, one-by-one, returning.
Producer Tim Bradley teases at what else we can look vers l'avant, vers l'avant to in series three.
"I came on board for series three - I didn't do the first two - in December 2007, then scripts started arriving in February this an and we started shooting in April. We completed shooting towards the end of October and we're now in post-production."
a pop quiz question a été ajouté: What is the titre of the American series of Primeval?

Future Of Nuclear Industry Takes Yet Another Hit
By Charles Kennedy - Apr 28, 2015, 9:49 AM CDT
Despite the rough patch that the nuclear industry has experienced in recent years, its future remains bright, the industry insists. That is because the next generation of nuclear reactors will provide significant safety and economic benefits over current reactors.
But what if the new designs are actually not all that much better than the current fleet?
That is the provocative conclusion that France's nuclear watchdog came to in a new report. Published on April 27, the IRSN said that the so-called "generation IV" reactors of the future may not be able to offer major upgrades in safety (most of the reactors running today are generation II – built in the 1960's and 1970's – and the newer designs that are currently under construction today are considered to be generation III). Related: Tesla Could Be Changing The Dynamics Of Global Energy
The IRSN report reviewed six of the most promising generation IV reactor designs: sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR); very high-temperature reactors (VHTR); gas-cooled fast reactors (GFR); lead-cooled fast reactors (LFR); molten salt reactors (MSR); and SuperCritical water reactors (SCWR).
Out of all of those, ISRN found that only the sodium-cooled fast reactor is close enough to maturity. SFRs have been trumpeted as an exciting concept – they can burn nuclear waste, reducing the need to build long-term spent fuel storage. Related: Health Risks From Fukushima Disaster Greatly Exaggerated
But after looking into the technology ISRN says it's hard to say whether or not SFRs would be better. "While it seems possible for SFR technology to guarantee a safety level at least equivalent" to generation III reactors, "IRSN is unable to determine whether it could significantly exceed this level," the report concluded. That is because liquid sodium can explode if exposed to water. IRSN also questioned the extent to which SFRs could actually burn through dangerous nuclear waste. Related: Russia To Power Arctic Drilling With Floating Nuclear Reactors
The report amounts to a big rebuke for generation IV reactors, the first significant criticism of a nuclear dream that has been hailed as the key to solving energy and climate change challenges.
However, ISRN also ultimately said that the devil will be in the details. The reactor designs could solve some of their drawbacks as the specifics are fleshed out. But unless generation IV designs can prove to be much safer than generation III designs, the nuclear renaissance may not be as bright as many had hoped.

I wonder how the author draws this conclusion about Gen IV reactors based on a potential safety issue of one species of Gen IV reactors.
We'll note the author identified six species of Gen IV reactors: sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR); very high-temperature reactors (VHTR); gas-cooled fast reactors (GFR); lead-cooled fast reactors (LFR); molten salt reactors (MSR); and SuperCritical water reactors (SCWR).
The author then stated that SFR would have a problem when the liquid sodium is exposed to water, which is correct.
But a MSR wouldn't have that problem. It's a different species of Gen IV reactor than SFR, and it has different design details and uses an entirely different fluid coolant.
But, then again, this is a website designed for discussing oil-based energy sources. Wouldn't want to lose market share with the introduction of safer, cleaner, better forms of energy technology, now would we?
Paxus on April 29 2015 said:
Well isn't this a sweet little pickle. Here is some of what we do know about liquid metal "Fast" reactors. The US, UK, France, Germany, India, japan and Russia have all built liquid sodium reactors. Only Russia, where is a military funded project continues to run a sodium cooled reactor. Tens of billions have been wasted on this technology which the biggest nuclear countries in the world have been unable to make work.
Sure another few billion would keeps some scientists and high end construction workers employed. But we can stop pretending that this failed technology is any type of solution to our pressing low carbon energy needs.


Invisible River presents two exciting events in their July festival that will make you rethink your relationship with the Schuylkill River. The festival kicks off July 15th with Beck Epoch, a two-night aerial dance performance above the Schuylkill River. The festivities continue on Saturday, July 16th with Schuylkill River Arts Day (SRAD), a day-long celebration of the Schuylkill River through performing arts and water activities. Events are free to the public and feature live performances by local Philadelphia artists including the African Diaspora Artist Collective, Almanac Dance Circus Theater, Positive Movement Drum Line, and others.
The Schuylkill River and riverside trail are well known as popular destinations for recreation, but for Invisible River director Alie Vidich and her team of water visionaries, the Schuylkill is much more than that. The Schuylkill (a name which derives from the Dutch for "hidden" and "creek") is the birthplace of Philadelphia, a continual natural resource, and a source of creative energy. Invisible River's aim is to build community around a shared sense of place through the arts and to encourage stewardship for Philadelphia waterways.
The artists performing in SRAD explore how movement-based practices can transform our understanding of Philadelphia's rivers. Festival artist Anna Kroll, performer and co-creator of River Mermaids, describes the festival as an event designed to bring "more attention to bodies of water so that people care." Part of this is "spending more time looking" at the water through artistic engagement and "forcing yourself to notice something that is prominent, but taken for granted." For Kroll, being on the water in a boat is a meditative experience, when time seems to slow as the current moves past.
In Beck Epoch, the audience can watch aerial dancers, suspended from the Strawberry Mansion Bridge above the Schuylkill river, swivel and turn against a dramatic backdrop of vibrant sheets. Co-choreographed by Vidich along with choreographer and dancer Tatiana Hassan, Beck Epoch builds on past Invisible River performances to speak to Vidich's six year artistic exploration of the Schuylkill River. Audiences can view the performance from either the riverside bank or can rent a kayak or canoe and view the show up-close from the water. To rent a boat, buy tickets in advance here.
Speaking of family fun water activities during SRAD, audiences can boat, enjoy free fly fishing and casting lessons, participate in water-based science activities presented by Fairmount Water Works, and try out team-building challenges lead by Outward Bound. Refreshments and food are available from Philly favorites Gigi's & Big R Caribbean and American Soul Food. The festival begins at 10am with a procession from Mander Recreation Center lead by Positive Movement Drum Line.

Epidemiology & Community Health
Objective. Accelerated atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and death in SLE. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the prevalence and extent of coronary artery calcium (CAC) is higher in female SLE patients compared with a non-SLE sample from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).Methods. CAC was measured in 80 female SLE patients and 241 female MESA controls from the Baltimore Field Centre, ages 45-64 years, without evidence of clinical cardiovascular disease. Binary regression was used to estimate the ratio of CAC prevalence in SLE vs MESA controls, controlling for demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. To compare the groups with respect to the quantity of CAC among those with non-zero Agatston scores, we used linear models in which the outcome was a log-transformed Agatston score.Results. The prevalence of CAC was substantially higher in SLE. The differences were most pronounced and statistically significant in those aged 45-54 years (58% vs 20%, P < 0.0001), but were still observed among those aged 55-65 years (57% vs 36%, P = 0.069). After controlling for age, ethnicity, education, income, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, high-density lipoprotein levels, smoking, education and BMI, SLE patients still had a significantly higher prevalence of CAC than controls. Among those with CAC, the mean log Agatston score did not differ significantly between SLE and MESA participants.Conclusion. Women with SLE have a higher prevalence of CAC than comparable women without SLE, even after adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, especially among those aged 45-54 years.
