MTN accused of selling 'unlicensed music'
Written by Gareth van Zyl — Johannesburg - A copyright body claims MTN owes songwriters just under R1m in unpaid royalties for music sold by the mobile network.
MTN sells music via the likes of its caller tone service 'CallerTunez'. The mobile network also secures music from third party aggregators which include Content Connect Africa (CCA). MTN acquired a stake in CCA in 2014, according to the Financial Times.
But non-profit songwriter and publishing royalty collecting society Capasso (Composers Authors and Publishers Association) says attempts to license and collect alleged outstanding royalties from MTN and CCA have been met with "constant rate disputes and an unwillingness to enter into licence agreements".
Capasso is accusing MTN of not paying an invoice for 2014 and failing to report its 2015 music usage
"You can imagine the pressure that we're under as an agency from our members to say look I'm hearing my music everyday - where is my money?" Capasso CEO Nothando Migogo told Fin24 about the dispute with MTN.
"They (MTN) are selling unlicensed work.
"We've hit a brick wall. They're (MTN) just giving us the run-around; (we) can't get meetings," said Migogo.
Migogo explained to Fin24 that there are two types of rights with music - the first being copyright in the composition and the second in the sound recording.
Capasso only deals with composition copyright and represents songwriters either by direct mandate or through their publishers.
But MTN has responded to Capasso's claims by saying that the copyright body's "allegations are devoid of all truth".
"MTN has been working with Capasso to settle royalties for the current period, " Larry Annetts - MTN South Africa's executive for sales, marketing and distribution - told Fin24 via an email response.
"MTN has never disputed any royalty rates with Capasso or any other collecting society. Since 2014, MTN has required all content providers to obtain all necessary licences and engage directly with regulators.
"MTN requested Capasso to submit a revised and correct invoice in respect of invoices payable. To date the revised invoice has not been sent," said Annetts.
Migogo, though, said that Capasso's latest invoice is correct as it is based on usage reports for 2014 and calculated at the same rate at which MTN paid royalties for music usage in 2013.
Background to dispute
Capasso claims that MTN's "attitude to songwriter royalties is not new" amid allegations that the mobile network had disputes with previous copyright bodies.
Capasso was formed in 2014 as a non-profit company amid the coming together of Samro (Southern African Music Rights Organisation) and Norm (National Organisation for Reproduction Rights in Music) into a single licensing hub.
Migogo said that "one of the things we inherited was the MTN outstanding royalty issue" and that "at that time, MTN had not paid anything at all for 2012 and 2013".
Migogo further said that for the period between 2006 and 2011, there were only partial payments by MTN.
Capasso, though, managed to reach a payment agreement with MTN for the periods between 2006 and 2013, said Migogo.
Of the money that Capasso collects, 12.5% goes towards its operational costs while the rest is distributed to songwriters.
"So, we don't deliver actual content; we have rights in the content, in the composition," Migogo told Fin24.
Waiting for agreement
Capasso is further calling on MTN to enter a licensing and reporting agreement regarding the music that the mobile network uses.
Other networks such as Vodacom have agreements with Capasso and are paying royalties to songwriters, said Migogo.
Migogo said that if the dispute isn't resolved, Capasso could get mandates to stop MTN from selling music.
MTN's other troubles
The dispute between Capasso and MTN is just the latest in a series of troubles for the mobile network in recent months.
In October last year, the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) fined MTN $5.2bn for failing to disconnect five million unregistered SIM cards. That fine has since been reduced to $3.9bn while the Federal High Court in Lagos last month moved to adjourn a case regarding the penalty to March 18 2016 in a bid to get MTN and the NCC to settle the matter outside court.
Cameroon's anti-corruption board last month also said that the mobile network owes R1.5bn in taxes.
And in December last year, the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) filed criminal charges against MTN Nigeria over alleged copyright infringement of musical work from an Abuja based musician, Dovie Omenuwoma-Eniwo (who is also known as Baba 2010).

Canadian researchers help locate extremely rare meteorite that holds key to solar system
Canadian researchers have helped find a rare meteorite that fell over England in February.
The meteorite is an extremely rare type called carbonaceous chondrite

Canadian researchers have helped discover and study a rare meteorite that fell over England in February. The space rock contains the ingredients that make up our solar system.
Scientists recovered nearly 300 grams of the meteorite in Winchombe, England, this week.
The meteorite is a very rare type of space rock, called carbonaceous chondrite, which remained in a deep freeze for the last 4.5 billion years, untouched by any heating.
"So far, this is only the fifth meteorite of this type with a known orbit, and the most pristine one because it was recovered immediately after the fall," said Denis Vida, a Western University scientist in London, Ont., who figured out where on earth the meteorite would have landed after it was seen in the sky on Feb. 28.

Finding something so rare, so quickly after it came from outer space is a scientific marvel, Vida said, and recovering so much of such a pristine meteorite is incredible.
"Imagine you take some eggs, flour, and sugar. You follow a recipe, mix them together and bake them in the oven. Voila, you have nice cake," said Vida. "The cake is our solar system. Baked, mixed, changed. In this analogy, carbonaceous chondrites are a chunky mix of eggs, flour and sugar that somehow ended up in the freezer, and we're using them now to figure out how the cake, in this case the solar system, was made."

The metoerite contains presolar grains, which are small dust particles even older than the Sun.
"They are rare, direct evidence that we have liquid water outside the Earth," Vida said. "Some contain up to 20 per cent water, and are full of organic compounds, including amino acids."
Vida, a meteor physics postdoctoral associate at Western University, coordinates an international effort by amateur and professional astronomers to locate meteorites and determine where they came from in the solar system.
The Global Meteor Network and the UK Fireball Alliance captured footage of the Winchcombe meteorite on Feb. 28 and contacted Vida so he could compute the fireball's trajectory, using the university's state-of-the-art meteor trajectory software.

Schoolboy Facing Jail After Driver Parked On His Puppy
September 16, 2019 September 16, 2019 Anna C.	car, Garage, jail, park, police, Puppy, Schoolboy, yard
This schoolboy is facing jail after he banged on the bonnet of a car that had parked on top of his puppy and the driver complained to cops.
The youngster Danil Safronov, 16, had been given the Laika breed puppy by his dad Evgeniy Safronov, whose age was not revealed.
Pictures Credit: CEN/@templar332
Daniel said he had left the puppy in the yard outside a garage while he worked together with friends repairing a car in the Kashtak district of the city of Tomsk, which is located in Central Siberia in Russia.
But he ran outside when he heard the puppy, named Bertha, squealing and saw that the jeep driver had run over the three-month-old dog, and parked on top of it.
He said: "I saw that the had car stopped on top of the puppy. I ran out of the garage and screamed to the driver to move out. The Nissan driver did not respond, so I hit the hood of the car to get his attention. The man got out, began to apologise. But it was not possible to do anything to help my dog."
The teenager's father told local media that the traffic police and the district police had turned up and he said he had been asked to sign paperwork which he had assumed were just a formality without properly looking, believing that it meant that the man who had been driving was going to be prosecuted.
He said he was then shocked when he realised what he had signed been paperwork against his son, and that he was then summoned to appear in court over allegations that he had caused 14,000 RUB (173 GBP) of damage to the car by denting the hood and had been threatening and violent.
The driver of the car had apparently even alleged that the teenager had tried to extort money and made threats over the death of the puppy.
The dad said: "We had witnesses who were not even questioned. Investigators from the Leninsky District Department of Internal Affairs pressed my son and demanded to know why he specifically targeted the car. My son was in a state of shock, and what do they mean by 'targeted the car'?
"They also added that we were to blame, because the dog didn't have a muzzle, but what is a muzzle, we are talking about a puppy and it was less than 40 centimetres in length."
He said that the allegations then got even more bizarre, with allegations that his son had been waving an axe.
According local media, investigators admitted that they had refused to open a case against the Nissan driver on the basis of clause 2 of part 1 of article 245 (cruelty to animals). But in the other direction Danil is accused of intentionally destroying or damaging someone else's property – with a criminal case instituted under article 167.
He faces a 40,000 RUB (495 GBP) fine or two years in prison.
The family are now hoping that they can make use of the new law on the protection of animal rights in the Russian Federation, where animals are recognised not as human property, but as "creatures capable of experiencing emotions and physical suffering." Cruelty to animals is punishable by up to five years in prison.

§ 404.1520. Evaluation of disability in general.
(a) General—(1) Purpose of this section. This section explains the five-step sequential evaluation process we use to decide whether you are disabled, as defined in § 404.1505.
(3) Evidence considered. We will consider all evidence in your case record when we make a determination or decision whether you are disabled. See § 404.1520b.
(iv) At the fourth step, we consider our assessment of your residual functional capacity and your past relevant work. If you can still do your past relevant work, we will find that you are not disabled. See paragraphs (f) and (h) of this section and § 404.1560(b).
(v) At the fifth and last step, we consider our assessment of your residual functional capacity and your age, education, and work experience to see if you can make an adjustment to other work. If you can make an adjustment to other work, we will find that you are not disabled. If you cannot make an adjustment to other work, we will find that you are disabled. See paragraphs (g) and (h) of this section and § 404.1560(c).
(5) When you are already receiving disability benefits. If you are already receiving disability benefits, we will use a different sequential evaluation process to decide whether you continue to be disabled. We explain this process in § 404.1594(f).
(e) When your impairment(s) does not meet or equal a listed impairment. If your impairment(s) does not meet or equal a listed impairment, we will assess and make a finding about your residual functional capacity based on all the relevant medical and other evidence in your case record, as explained in § 404.1545. (See paragraph (g)(2) of this section and § 404.1562 for an exception to this rule.) We use our residual functional capacity assessment at the fourth step of the sequential evaluation process to determine if you can do your past relevant work (paragraph (f) of this section) and at the fifth step of the sequential evaluation process (if the evaluation proceeds to this step) to determine if you can adjust to other work (paragraph (g) of this section).
(f) Your impairment(s) must prevent you from doing your past relevant work. If we cannot make a determination or decision at the first three steps of the sequential evaluation process, we will compare our residual functional capacity assessment, which we made under paragraph (e) of this section, with the physical and mental demands of your past relevant work. See paragraph (h) of this section and § 404.1560(b). If you can still do this kind of work, we will find that you are not disabled.
(g) Your impairment(s) must prevent you from making an adjustment to any other work. (1) If we find that you cannot do your past relevant work because you have a severe impairment(s) (or you do not have any past relevant work), we will consider the same residual functional capacity assessment we made under paragraph (e) of this section, together with your vocational factors (your age, education, and work experience) to determine if you can make an adjustment to other work. (See § 404.1560(c).) If you can make an adjustment to other work, we will find you not disabled. If you cannot, we will find you disabled.
(2) We use different rules if you meet one of the two special medical-vocational profiles described in § 404.1562. If you meet one of those profiles, we will find that you cannot make an adjustment to other work, and that you are disabled.
(h) Expedited process. If we do not find you disabled at the third step, and we do not have sufficient evidence about your past relevant work to make a finding at the fourth step, we may proceed to the fifth step of the sequential evaluation process. If we find that you can adjust to other work based solely on your age, education, and the same residual functional capacity assessment we made under paragraph (e) of this section, we will find that you are not disabled and will not make a finding about whether you can do your past relevant work at the fourth step. If we find that you may be unable to adjust to other work or if § 404.1562 may apply, we will assess your claim at the fourth step and make a finding about whether you can perform your past relevant work. See paragraph (g) of this section and § 404.1560(c).

Economists say the sharp fuel increase is expected to push inflation up. The price of fuel and diesel will increase at midnight.
The Department of Energy has earlier announced that fuel prices will increase by R1.34 cents for petrol and 82-cents for diesel.
More increases are expected in the Road Accident Fund levy and fuel levy this month.
The kicking in of the general fuel and the Road Accident Fund levies have made the latest fuel price increase steep.
The department has attributed the fuel price increase to international factors including the fact that South Africa imports both crude oil and finished products at a price set at the international level.

#4764. What Makes Us Different?
Posted 06/09/2014 by Emily McKeon (Emily McKeon).
There's a need to teach kids about diversity in the world around them. Not only what makes each of them different, but what makes them special and how they deal with certain things that make them or their friends and classmates stand out.
First have the children draw a self-portrait and tell them to focus on what makes them unique or special. Let them know this can be anything from the color of their skin/eyes/hair to needing glasses or other types of devices.
When they finish with their drawings, have them talk a little about what they think makes them different. Tell them to keep this in mind while you read the story.
After reading WHO WILL DANCE WITH ME? (Emily McKeon/Linda Clearwater), discuss the ending.
�	Did they understand what happened in the story?
�	Why did none of the other princesses want to dance with Rhino?
�	Why did Grace dance with Rhino?
�	Why did Grace thank Rhino for letting her dance?
Go back to the self-portraits. Have them write a few sentences or talk about how they deal with the things that make them different. Do they let their differences or disabilities affect them? Do they know other people who have a disability and how do those people deal with it?
According to the National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies, children should learn about individual development and identity. Through this lesson, they will explore their own individuality and that of their peers. They'll learn how their identity shapes them and makes them different.


No company should be optimizing their website for search engines. Last time I checked, not a single search engine has every purchased a product or service from any business I've run. No search engine has given a personal endorsement to a friend or become a lifetime customer. Yes it is important to rank high in the search engines, but looking for ways to optimize through manipulating content or other factors, is simply a game in which you risk loosing every time the rules change.
Last week I spoke to a large content production company. My intent was to get some real, high quality content produced for which we simply did not have the resources to accomplish. Before I could get a word out the salesperson told me "just so you know, we don't do SEO content anymore". I asked him what kind of content did they produce. His answer was "only high quality, researched & interesting content". Imagine that.
UOC should be the new term. User Optimized Content. This is in fact what Google preaches you should be doing in the first place. Creating good quality, easily readable, relevant and extensible content is apparently back in vogue.
You still need to do research to discover what terms your desired audience is looking for, and they still need to be in the copy and description tags. They should also sometimes be in the headlines. This is not just helping the search engines, this helps the site visitor decide if your site has the information they are looking for. The Content itself still has to be really good. So if turning out lots of keyword stuffed articles in no longer the key to a high SERP ranking, then what is? Following some basic common sense will go a long way.
Readable – The content should be presented in an easily readable format. Headlines that have meaning following by a few sentences of relevant information.
Researched – Your content should give users the information you know they wanted when they found your site. Do you research up front and know your audience.
Interesting – Keep your content and flow interesting. Start general and become more specific as you go. The folks most interested will keep reading. A more engaged site visitor often shares and returns.
Be Social – Develop content that is extensible. When planning your content look to deliver it in as many formats as possible. Text, Mobile, Images, Twitter, Facebook, Slideshare, Video & Games.
SEO for content is dead. Long live UOC. Got a better term for this? Post a comment.

GASTON COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) – An 18-year-old in Dallas is in the market for a new vehicle after hitting it big by playing the lottery.
According to the North Carolina Education Lottery, Dalton Radford left work and was going to his second job when he stopped for a White Monster drink and two Carolina Jackpot tickets.
Radford, a public works employee, bought his lucky ticket Friday afternoon from Will's Food Store III on Dallas High Shoals Highway in Dallas. He checked his tickets in the parking lot and discovered he won $1 million.
"I thought, 'Hey! I just won a million dollars,'" said Radford. "I called my mom, dad, and grandpa. Everyone was happy."
Radford said his win came after his grandpa predicted two weeks ago that we would win $1 million.
Lottery officials said Radford chose to take the lump sum amount of $600,000. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home approximately $426,063.

The 3: Greatest Miracles in Sports History
November 12, 2019 PMKRAFCIK Uncategorized Leave a comment
I was sitting my desk at work today, bored out of my mind, and came across a Reddit post that said, "what is the greatest sports miracle of all time?"
Well here we go, the three greatest miracles in sports history:
3. "THE MOUNTAINEERS HAVE JUST BEATEN THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES!!!!!!!"
Michigan was looking at a run at the national title heading into the first game of the season against FBS Appalachian State. Wolverines Quarterback Chad Henne returned for his senior season in the hopes of bringing home a national title for the maize and blue.
Before the season when the schedule came out, some of the Wolverines asked head coach Llyod Carr when he announced the schedule, "who?" in regards to the first game of the season, which was against the Mountaineers.
The game was being broadcasted on the Big 10 Network, and it was the first game on the new network. Some of the major cable and satellite providers were unable to air the game as some of the providers did not strike a deal with the Big 10 Network before the first game of the season.
For some lucky Michigan fans, this was a blessing in disguise.
Having played awful all game, the Wolverines still had a chance to come away with the victory against an FBS opponent (at the Big House too, mind you.)
As Michigan lined up a 37 yard field goal, you felt the Wolverines were just going to knock it through the uprights, and escape with a victory on week 1.
But what happened next, was almost beyond belief.
2. "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?"
It was the peak of the cold war. The Americans vs. the Soviets, freedom vs. communism, college students vs. the greatest hockey players in the world. The Americans had not beaten the Soviets in hockey in a generation at the Olympics.
Lake Placid was the setting, hockey was the game. The American team comprised of college hockey players, squared off against the greatest hockey team maybe ever compriesed, the professional Soviets, which included one of the best goaltenders of all time in Vladislav Tretiak. Tretiak was widely regarded as the best in the world, so good that the Montreal Canadians offered $1 Million to the Red Army for him.
But after the first period, the Soviets for some inexplicable reason, pulled Tretiak from the game with the game tied at 2, thus inserting the much less experienced Myshkin.
The Soviets took the lead in the second period, leading 3-2 going into the third, with the game still plenty in reach for the Americans.
In the third, after some sloppy defending from the Soviets, Mark Johnson ended up with the puck right infront of the net after a deflected pass and slid it five hole on Myshkin.
A few shifts later, Snider shot a rifle from center ice which Myshkin shaved, broke to Eruzione at the top of the slot after a rebound, and sniped it past the Soviets. The Lake Placid crowd went absolutely insane, and the Americans had to only hang on four a few more minutes.
"You've got ten seconds… the countdown going on right now, Morrow up to Schutlz, five seconds left in the game… do you believe in miracles… YES!!!!!"
1. "Leicester City… LEICESTER CITY… Are The Champions Of England"
Quite simply, it is the greatest sporting miracle ever. It was tough choosing between the "Miracle on Ice" and Leciester City winning the Premier League in 2016, but when I sat down and thought about which was more impressive, there was no doubt in my mind, Leciester's was a miracle that somehow lasted for ten months.
Leicester the previous season was in 20th place with eight games to play, it was certain they were going to go down and be relegated to the Championship. They pulled off one of the greatest escapes of all time, and stayed in the Premier League for the 2015/2016 season.
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri was the first name on the "Sack Race" list by the bookies over in England. What happened over the next ten months, is almost indescribable.
Heading into their game against Liverpool in the beginning of February, Leicester were top of the league and had a massive test against the Reds at the King Power Stadium. The cracks in Leicester were starting to show, and if Liverpool could get a result, you had to feel the wheels were going to fall off the wagon. Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez thumped a 60 yard pass up the field to striker Jamie Vardy (who would mix vodka and Red Bulls before playing games), hit it on the half volley and smacked in from 30 yards out past Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet. I remember texting my best friend Jake, saying, "they're going to win the fucking league". It was right then and there, you knew they were going to do it. If you are scoring goals like that, you aren't losing the title.
Gaining a point at the mighty Manchester United at Old Trafford, and with Chelsea drawing with 2nd place Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, Peter Drury uttered out at full time, "Leicester City… LEICESTER CITY… are the champions of England. And you have to ask yourself, how on earth did that just happen?"
5000/1 odds to win the league to start the season, half of the team was not playing professionally a couple years prior, barely staying up in the Premier League the season prior. It shouldn't have happened, it couldn't have happened, but it did. And you will never, ever, see anything like it ever again.

Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Rich Coleman today announced a package of regulatory changes designed to cut red tape and make exploration and mining more efficient in B.C.
* A new policy so that industry can apply for a Multi-Year Area-Based permit. This will mean that industry can avoid having to apply for multiple permits when working in the same exploration area.
* On Jan. 28, a new electronic application system was announced by Premier Christy Clark at Round Up. Beginning this February, the provincial government will shift to this new system for natural resource- related projects in B.C. The first electronic application to be added to the new system will be a Notice of Work application.
* In the coming months, the Province will also finalize a review of the existing mineral and coal-land reserves. More than 50,000 hectares of land have already been made available for exploration as a result of this review.
These changes will be implemented over the coming months. Once completed, they will provide mineral exploration and mining companies with new tools to conduct business more efficiently and eliminate red tape and unnecessary administration.
"These initiatives will make it easier to do business in British Columbia. Our government is working hard to cut red tape while continuing to maintain our high health, safety and environmental standards for the mineral exploration and mining industry."
"Many of our members will see the benefits of multi-year, multi-area permitting. And we welcome the shift to a transparent online notice of work process as well as changes to the Mines Act that will reduce red tape."
"The changes being initiated by the government of B.C. to affect a more streamlined regulatory framework will provide the mining and exploration sector greater confidence in moving projects ahead, while at the same time, increasing investor confidence in our provincial regulatory system which helps strengthen the B.C. economy."
* A new online application system will be delivered in 2013 through FrontCounter BC. Starting in February 2013 the provincial government will be shifting to more electronic applications for B.C.'s natural resource related authorizations.
* To attract more opportunities and make B.C. more competitive, the Province will work with the federal government to eliminate regulatory duplication and develop a single, effective environmental assessment process.
* The B.C. government achieved an 84 per cent reduction in the 2011 mining permit backlog two months before the target completion date of August 2012 set out in the BC Jobs Plan. The backlog has now been reduced by 94 per cent.
* New policy throughout the province that will work with the new e- application system to make the permitting process more efficient.
* Consultation with First Nations about potential effects over a period of time and a defined area before exploration activities are permitted.
* The change allows the industry to take a longer-term approach to planning. This would mean that industry can avoid multiple-permitting for the same area.
* As part of the B.C. Mineral Exploration and Mining Strategy, industry asked the provincial government to conduct a review of the available land-base.
* To date, 89 per cent of the existing 2,392 mineral, placer and coal land reserves have been reviewed to see if more land could be made available for exploration.
* In addition to more than 50,000 hectares of land being made available for exploration, a number of conditional reserves that were in place (encompassing 700,000 hectares of land) now have been removed.
* By freeing up more land, industry will be able to assess the potential of new mineral and coal deposits for possible development.

Detailed review of Bliss Micro Magic Microdermabrasion Treatment. See how it stacks up against other exfoliators!
All things considered, we feel Bliss Micro Magic Microdermabrasion Treatment is one of the better exfoliators out there.
It feels and smells great and is very easy to use.
It helped get our skin softer, a bit brighter and really clean.
Although it's got a few ingredients we could do without, for the most part, we like what's in it.
Overall, this is a very effective exfoliator and creates a nice spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home!
Bliss Micro Magic Microdermabrasion Treatment feels like a light, fluffy cream.
It's so light and airy, it almost feels like a mousse.
The pumice in it feels like very, very small grains of sand!
It has a light-to-medium peppermint smell that's very refreshing.
Bliss Micro Magic Microdermabrasion Treatment is very easy to use.
The texture makes it very easy to glide over the skin.
And it's not heavy, so it doesn't "stick" like some of these products can.
Rinsing it off was a breeze.
Also of note, this exfoliator is meant to be used once or twice a week.
We didn't really notice any drying or redness while using this exfoliator.
After using this product for awhile, my skin felt softer and really clean. My skin also looked a little brighter.
Because the pumice is a little "rough" you can truly feel Bliss Micro Magic Microdermabrasion Treatment working!
This exfoliator has some ingredients we really like, but also a few we're not so fond of.
On the positive side, we like the addition of pumice as the mechanical exfoliator mechanism.
They also added a few skin-saving ingredients like jojoba seed oil, aloe vera, and mushroom extract. It's always nice to pamper the skin while you're exfoliating it!
As for the things we don't like, propylene glycol and a few parabens top the list.
Bliss Micro Magic Microdermabrasion Treatment costs $48.00 for a 3 ounce tube.
So that works out to $16.00 an ounce which is pretty expensive for an exfoliator.

Alaskan Mom Builds Lovely Tiny House -- And Is Offering the Plans for Free (Video)
Kimberley Mok
Kimberley Mok is a former architect who has been covering architecture and the arts for Treehugger since 2007.
Building your own home or even your own furniture can be daunting, especially if you have little experience with power tools, and no foggy idea on selecting materials and how to put them together. But free plans -- and a bit of positive advice -- can be a real godsend for newbies.
Inspirational Blogger Created Plans
Alaskan blogger, stay-at-home mom and self-taught carpenter Ana White, who's best known for her DIY blog that offers free plans for building furniture, created this lovely tiny home in a remote part of Alaska with her husband, Jacob. Nicknamed Quartz, the home has some interesting design features, all of which can be built by anyone using the free plans.
Check out Ana's video tour:
Ana's story of how she started got building stuff herself is pretty inspirational. A few years ago, Ana began her journey into DIY by helping her husband build their home. "Out of simple necessity" (these are the remote parts of Alaska after all) that then expanded into building her first pieces of furniture, then starting a blog about her efforts, inspiring others to create their own furniture pieces and garnering a large online following in the years since. The blog, which has more than a thousand DIY projects, has since grown to the point that Ana can support her family with it, helping her publish a book and even land a pilot show on television. But humbly, Ana insists on keeping her plans free for a simple reason:
I needed to be able to provide plans for free so women could look at it and it would create confidence in them that 'I can build this'. I knew that for me, as a mom with a single income, a really limited income, at home all day, it needed to be free because I myself couldn't have afforded to pay $10 a plan.
The Quartz is built on a 24-foot long and 8.5-foot wide PJ Super Wide Channel B6 trailer. It's a "dry" cabin, meaning there is no hookup for water, and as Ana explains it, it's a common thing in the extreme temperatures in Alaska, allowing for easier maintenance. Thus, there is no bathroom, and the home is not the family's primary residence but is to be used as a temporary place to live in while they work on building another structure nearby. Nevertheless, Ana will be offering alternative plans for a tiny house with these extra amenities.
The interior that Ana has designed is purposely left uncluttered, painted with muted tones of gray and white. The main sitting area features this great trundle sofa-bed-storage combo that rolls out from under another bed on a platform. The rungs on the shelving double as a ladder going up to the loft.
The kitchen is simple but functional. The counter off to one side can be transformed into a full-size dining and work table by pulling it out -- a brilliant idea. The cabinets cost about $200 to make and have wooden panels covering the double sink to give more counter space.
The Quartz has a simple, charming but very functional self-built design that has quite a few clever ideas on how to maximize space and comfort. Best of all, the plans for the tiny house and the furniture inside are free, meaning that even the most reluctant of aspiring DIYers can benefit. More over at Ana White.

Fisher Recovery
USFWS Photo Credit
A formal petition to the US. Fish & Wildlife Service was submitted in September 2013 to seek protection for the imperiled Northern Rockies Fisher as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The petition also requested that critical habitat be designated, in conjunction with a finding that the fisher, indeed, warrants federal protection. Trapping, predation, disease, road building, logging and loss of habitat, particularly old-growth forests, have led to the sharp decline of the formidable predator.
Once prevalent in eastern British Columbia, southwest Alberta and throughout eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana, northwest Wyoming and north-central Utah, scientists believe the medium-sized, forest-dwelling carnivore now only survives in small-density populations straddling the Idaho/Montana border.
The US Fish & Wildlife Service classified the species as a Distinct Population Segment in 2011 due primarily to genetic characteristics that differentiates the Northern Rockies Fisher from all others in the U.S. It is also believed that fisher found in north-central Idaho are genetically unique, as they may have descended from fisher populations that have been in the area for generations, rather than, as previously believed, from fisher reintroduced to north-central Idaho in the 1960s.
It is uncertain how many fishers survive in the vicinity of the Idaho/Montana border, but the best-available science suggests that the largest populations make their home in the Clearwater Basin.
When the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service failed to respond to the 2013 petition within the legal time-frame, groups filed a Notice of Intent in 2014 to sue the agency. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service finally responded in 2016, and issued a finding that Northern Rockies Fisher may warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act. In September 2017, the US Fish & Wildlife Service announced that the species does not warrant listing as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act.

[Auto Parts] Toward a Self-Driving Future
김아영
Ranking first for average electric vehicle technology level, Korea is actively promoting electric cars and their components
The era of autonomous electric vehicles has arrived. The Korean government has strengthened fuel-efficiency, environmental and safety regulations in response to environmental issues such as fossil fuel depletion and global warming as well as social expenses following an increase in traffic accidents.
With global demand for electric vehicles on the rise since 2010, more than 400,000 vehicles are expected on the market this year. Since the establishment of the "Implementation Plan for Distribution of Environmentally Friendly Automobiles" in 2005, the Korean government has also taken an active part in developing and supplying hybrid, electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Korea is expected to sell 30,000 hybrid and 2,500 electric vehicles and to export 20,000 hybrid and 5,000 electric vehicles. The government is also providing consumers with KRW 1 million (USD 883) in subsidies for hybrid cars and KRW 15 million for electric vehicles, in addition to vehicle purchase tax and other tax breaks.
Although electric vehicle sales in Korea are still relatively low, Hyundai Motor Company has secured mass production technology for the world's first hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Hyundai has received hundreds of positive reviews from hydrogen fuel cell vehicle test drives in the United States and European countries. Furthermore, WardsAuto, a U.S. automotive research firm, nominated the Hyundai Tucson ix as one of "2015 Ward's 10 Best Engines," making it the first-ever cell fuel car engine technology to be nominated. In addition, Hyundai has strengthened relations with the U.S. Department of Energy for the successful establishment of the Korean-U.S. hydrogen fuel cell vehicle infrastructure to Hyundai's advantage.
According to phase 3 of Korea's plan to promote the development and distribution of environmentally friendly automobiles, Korea aims to become one of the world's top three countries for electric vehicle production by 2020. The Korean government and auto companies in the country actively promoted the foundation work for the development and commercialization of electric vehicles during phase 2 of the plan, between 2010 and 2015, but are now working on new goals for phase 3. The government and auto companies of Korea plan to produce 1.7 million electric cars and expand domestic sales and exports.
Korea's auto companies have consistently promoted the development and commercialization of electronic components on the basis of Korea's outstanding electronics technology. Although the government has supported the development and commercialization of next-generation technology and smart cars since 2003, it has been analyzing related weak points through self-assessments, working to improve efficiency and commercialize self-driving cars after research institutes like Navigant Research gave low ratings to the competitiveness of automated vehicles.

Besides Korea's auto industry, the information and communications technology (ICT) industry is also increasing investment in research and development (R&D) for the advancement of connected cars and autonomous automotive companies. Samsung Electronics has applied tablet PCs to BMWs and infotainment systems to Seats, a subsidiary of Volkswagen Spain.
LG Electronics is also co-developing a "stereo camera system" with Mercedez Benz and has agreed to supply key parts of the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with U.S. Freescale Inc. Meanwhile, the Korean government is actively pursuing the development of electric cars and chargers for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and has established test run roads and related substructure
for self-driving cars in Gyeonggi Province.
Competition Between Companies
In Korea, Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Motors will mass-produce hybrid cars, and Hyundai has emerged as the third-largest hybrid car dealer. Overseas, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Mercedes Benz and Porsche are also currently selling imported hybrid cars. In the Korean market, Hyundai, Kia, GM Korea and Renault Samsung sell electric battery vehicles, while BMW and Nissan are among the foreign companies to import and sell electric cars.
Although automobile manufacturers in general have been accelerating the development and commercialization of autonomous electric vehicles, luxury automobile manufacturers are leading their commercialization. In particular, German luxury brands have been commercializing electric vehicles in cooperation with Korean battery manufacturers and have been promoting the development of connected cars. Because Korea's battery manufacturers and ICT sectors are some of the most competitive globally, foreign automobile manufacturers are increasingly collaborating with Korean companies. Korea also ranks first for average electric vehicle technology level. 1) The country has established various support programs to promote joint R&D between domestic and foreign companies.
The progression of autonomous electric vehicle technology is causing auto makers to expand business and cooperation with related industries. In particular, auto makers are expanding technological and capital partnerships with and pursuing the acquisition of ICT companies for the commercialization of autonomous electric vehicles. Hyundai is also developing core technology for autonomous electric vehicles and expanding cooperation with domestic and foreign ICT companies.
Promising Domestic Sectors and Regions
Korea's central and municipal governments have been actively promoting foreign investment in the country's auto manufacturers.
The government is promoting the expansion of domestic production and electric cars and has also made long-term plans to eventually expand into the foreign companies of these promising sectors. Although Korean automobile manufacturers have relatively advanced hardware and strengths in car design,
assembly and parts production, they lack competitiveness in engineering, software development and core material compared to other developed countries. Therefore, capital investment and strategic alliances with foreign companies in these sectors are expected.
Korean automobile companies are pursuing the development and commercialization of electric-powered automobiles in collaboration with the central and municipal governments. The central government is supporting the development of core technology by creating a long-term road map while municipalities are attracting investment from both domestic and foreign parts suppliers by creating innovation clusters for parts based on the strengths of their regions.
Kia Motors factories in South Chungcheong Province and Gwangju produce the Kia Ray EV and Soul EV Electric Car batteries while GM Korea produces the Spark EV at its Changwon factory and Renault Samsung produces the SM3 electric car in its Busan factory. Ulsan has been developing and producing range-extended electric vehicle parts within the region since 2012, supporting small- and medium-sized electric car manufacturers as they make compact, commercial electric vehicles. In Gyeonggi and South Chungcheong provinces, small- and medium-sized electric car manufacturers promote product development and production in collaboration with municipal governments. Jeju Island is in the process of expanding test drive roads for electric vehicles and planning on replacing all vehicles with electric cars by 2030.
While Hyundai Motor Company is test driving hydrogen fuel cell vehicles both at home and abroad, South Chungcheong Province is negotiating with the central government to create cluster components of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Hyundai is planning to mass produce hydrogen fuel cell vehicles starting from 2020, and component manufacturers are currently working on developing corresponding technology.
The Daegu Metropolitan City substructure includes a small scale track for smart cars. As such, the Korean government, automobile manufacturers and related industries are jointly committed to the early development and commercialization of electric, self-driving vehicles. Also, municipal governments are actively promoting themselves for foreign investment. Foreign
companies should cooperate with subcontractors to strengthen their weaknesses and consider whether to invest in related clusters after analyzing the supply and value chain of Korea's electric self-driving cars. Korea's central and municipal governments should also take advantage of incentive policies and offer various incentives for foreign direct investment.

We all want our debt consolidation program to be successful. But to make that possible, you need to follow a certain set of rules first. Unless you adhere to these guidelines, you will be more likely to make mistakes or be discouraged after a simple setback.
When you know the rules and you strictly abide by it, you can make decisions with more confidence. Even when something bad happens, you know how to act on it to resolve it.
According to reports, Millennials carry a lot of debt – an average of $36,000. While it may seem like a big amount, it is revealed that paying off debt is not their priority. Their biggest financial goal is saving money that will help them reach a milestone in their life – like marriage or owning their own home.
With all the debt that they owe, it is evident that they should do something to solve their financial issues. There are many ways you can get out of debt and one of them is a debt consolidation program.
If you plan on using this debt relief strategy to get out of debt, you need to follow these 5 rules.
When we say realistic, this means you have to make sure that you can afford the monthly payments. To do this, you need to get to know your options and your own financial situation. Unfortunately, not everyone tries to understand what their options are. According to reports, most Americans are not aware of how beneficial balance transfer cards are. At least, this is true for those who will really benefit from it. When you plan on using debt consolidation, you need to know that there are many options for doing it. You should research the perfect option that suits your financial circumstances. The primary concern should be affordability. That will help you make your debt consolidation program realistic.
Once you have the type of debt consolidation that you will use, you need to create a budget that will compliment that. When you use a budget plan, you are more in control of your finances. This will allow you to make smarter choices about your money – including your debt relief options. While you are completing the debt consolidation program, you will go through a lot of difficulties. When you have your budget plan updated, you can easily track your expenses and make adjustments to avoid compromising your debt relief efforts. It will also help you track your spending so you will never have to run out of debt payment funds.
Another rule that you should follow is setting up rewards. You need to set up milestones that will mark small victories on your road towards debt freedom. For instance, after you have paid a quarter of the debt, give yourself a small reward. Or you give yourself a reward after paying $1,000 worth of debt. These rewards are meant to motivate you to go through another set of payments until you reach the next milestone and reward. There is a higher chance of you completely paying off your debts.
Sometimes, you need to feel accountable for your debt payments to encourage yourself to pay it off. When you tell someone about your debt relief efforts, there is pressure to succeed. If you fail, someone will know about it. Feel free to tell your partner or the whole family about your endeavor to get out of debt. If your spouse knows that you are making an effort to fix the mess of your debts, that can even save your marriage – but only if you succeed in completely getting yourself out of your debt situation.
Finally, you need to always keep in mind why you are doing this. Among the other rules, this is what will really sustain you. After consolidating debts, you still have a long way to go in your debt consolidation program. You still have to pay everything off. You want to make sure that you can complete all the payments so you can finally be free from the restrictions brought about by your credit obligations. If your reason to get out of debt is so you can buy your own house someday, print a visual representation of this. It is another way to motivate yourself to get out of debt.
Apart from the 5 rules, there are other reminders that you need to consider when using a debt consolidation program.
If you really want to get your finances in order, you have to stop using debt. Do not worry because this is only temporary. You still need to use debt every now and then if you want to keep your credit score up. But while you are still in the midst of a debt relief program, you have to keep yourself from borrowing more money. Otherwise, it will take you even longer to be completely debt free.
You should also track the progress of your debt relief program. There are many reasons why this rule is beneficial. First of all, it will help you monitor your payments. That way, you can easily check if you missed out on payments. Another benefit is you can see how much you have paid off and how long you have to go in terms of the repayment plan. For most people, knowing where they specifically stand in the debt relief program motivates them. If they focus on how much they have paid off, it can serve as an encouragement to keep going.
Another rule that you may want to follow is increasing your payments whenever it is possible. This is one of the ways you can be smart when borrowing debt consolidation loan. The bigger the monthly payments, the faster you can get yourself out of debt.
Finally, it is important to keep yourself from feeling discouraged whenever you encounter setbacks during the program. This is not something that you can avoid. Life can throw unexpected events your way and it can compromise your debt payments. If there are unplanned expenses, do not let it stress you out. That is not enough reason for you to quit your debt consolidation program. You can always talk to the lender or creditor to allow you to pay a lower amount for a couple of months.
