Vue sets sights on CineStar
By Andreas Fuchs Nov 19, 2018
Russia In Review
Australia's Event Hospitality & Entertainment Limited (EVT) agreed to sell the CineStar chain in Germany to Vue International. The global exhibition power player already operates 30 sites and 257 screens in the country under the CinemaxX brand. Oliver Fock, managing director of CineStar Deutschland, said: "We are convinced that Vue, as one of the leading cinema exhibitors in Europe and worldwide, has all the know-how to build upon the success of CineStar."
"Vue's successful expansion strategy has seen 14 acquisitions since its inception 15 years ago," the media release summarized. For the company's third purchase in 2018, following Cinema3D in Poland and Showtime Cinemas in Ireland, Vue agreed to an upfront payment of €130 million (US$148 mil.) for CineStar's 57 multiplex sites with 438 screens. Although two of those locations are first scheduled to open, this acquisition is the largest in Vue's history and signifies "Vue's continuing confidence in the European market and the future of the international exhibition industry."
"CineStar supports our strategic and business objectives of developing and owning the highest-quality cinema assets globally," added Tim Richards, founder and CEO of Vue International (vue-international.com). The Group operates 225 locations with 1,969 cinemas in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Italy (The Space), Poland and Baltics (Multikino) and Taiwan (SBC).
Smart Pricing Comes to Japan and Asia
Berlin, Germany-based Smart Pricer announces a partnership with Geoffrey Bossiere of consultancy Shining Prince Entertainmen for representation in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and other Asian markets. Operating from his base in Tokyo, Bossiere will expand Smart Pricer's dynamic optimization software and algorithms into what the company calls "promising markets, given the fact that theatres generally enjoy high average ticket prices and high online share, driven by the huge share of smartphone usage."
With more than a decade of experience in airline pricing and millions of optimizations, Smart Pricer helps cinemas and other entertainment venues, sports clubs and ski resorts to achieve "increase in revenues, higher online shares, and better off-peak attendance."

Eclair and Samsung Bring Onyx to Paris-Vanves
At the end of September, Samsung Electronics and Eclair announced their agreement to install the former's Onyx Cinema LED solution in the latter's post and production facilities located in Paris-Vanves, France. With that mission accomplished, Eclair is now the first in Europe, and the second in the world, to provide professional services specifically tailored for Onyx Cinema, offering contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, color grading with true zero nit black, and EclairColor DCP mastering.
Along with the new facility, Seog-gi Kim, executive VP, visual display business at Samsung Electronics, "expects the demand for Onyx to increase in the European market, with its ultra-sharp 4K resolution and peak brightness level delivering a one-of-a-kind viewing experience."
CinemaNext, Eclair's sister company handling exhibition services around the world, equipped the auditorium with a 5.2-meter (17-foot) screen with a 3D-capable multiple-LED display, 18 luxury seats, 7.1 audio technology from Harman's JBL, and a full DaVinci Resolve 15 color-grading suite. The LED screen structure was manufactured by CinemaNext's Valencia (Spain) office.

Kinepolis Opens Landmark in Fort McMurray
On Nov. 9, Landmark Cinemas, the Canadian subsidiary of Kinepolis Group, opened eight screens with 880 all-luxury-recliners at The Commons at Eagle Ridge in Fort McMurray, Alberta. The new cinema "truly changes how people enjoy their night out at the movies," promises Eddy Duquenne, CEO of Kinepolis Group. "The community has served Landmark well in its downtown location over the past eleven years, and we are excited to welcome everyone to enjoy this new world-class moviegoing experience."
Said downtown location has closed, leaving 45 cinemas in Central and Western Canada, totaling 319 screens and more than 57,000 seats, in operation. Overall worldwide, Kinepolis Group operates 97 cinemas (45 of which it owns) with 852 screens and more than 185,000 seats.
Europe Extends to Los Angeles
No year-end column would be complete without at least one nod to awards season. In its biggest move yet, European Film Promotion is bringing no less than 25 contenders of the 87 overall submissions for consideration in the Academy's Best Foreign Language Film category to Los Angeles. Not surprisingly, two venues—Dick Clark Screening Room and Laemmle's Monica—needed to be booked "to provide more opportunities for Academy members, journalists, U.S. distributors and international buyers to get an extensive overview of European cinema's great diversity," the Hamburg, Germany-headquartered organization noted.
Many of the 25 entries already "made a splash at major festivals around the world, particularly in Cannes," EFP continued, pointing out that another six of the European Oscar submissions—three directed by women—won "top national film awards" in their home countries of Greece, Norway, United Kingdom, Lithuania, The Netherlands and Portugal.
Another 18 European films from 15 countries received more than €51,000 (US$ 58,000) in Film Sales Support for promotion and marketing measures during the American Film Market (AFM). Celebrating its 20th anniversary edition, EFP's EUROPE! Umbrella presence has provided room to more than 220 European companies to network at the AFM since 1998. This year, 13 sales agents from eight countries presented their lineups with some 68 productions.
EFP is supported by Creative Europe—MEDIA Programme of the European Union and by its 38 member organizations.
Germany Votes for Favorite Kino
From Sept. 10 to Oct. 11, no less than 42,866 votes were cast on www.deutschlandslieblingskino.de. That represents an increase of more than 42% over last year's inaugural edition. 1,212 movie theatres were nominated, with 1,600 suggested. The Top 100, ranging from multiplex to Main Street movie house, have been counted by the organizers at Moviepilot and listed at www.moviepilot.de/news/das-sind-die-top-100-lieblingskinos-deutschlands-2018-1112099.
Now it is up to a jury to select the one and only favorite. The winning kino will be announced in January during the Münchner Filmwoche industry get-together.

How to deflate a football without a needle
By: Andrew Smith
How to deflate a rugby ball
How to Make a Wilson Basketball Tacky
How to Wash a Football Girdle
How to Cover Styrofoam Balls With Feathers From Pheasants
How to Hang Rubber Balls From Ceiling
Deflating a football is necessary if you accidentally added too much air inside of the ball, if you are placing the ball into storage, or putting it inside a suitcase before travelling. Placing a needle that is used for adding air into the football can also cause air to rush out of the opening found in the centre of the ball, but if you're without a needle, you can use some basic science to deflate the ball.
Clean the outside of the football with a damp towel. Remove all visible dirt and debris from the surface.
Move things around inside the refrigerator, as needed, to make room for the football on the top shelf.
Place a cloth or dishtowel at the very back of the top shelf of the refrigerator.
Place the football on the cloth inside the refrigerator. According to the Natural Horse Talk web site, which markets a ball for horses and provides instructions, air expands when heated and condenses due to the cold, so you can use temperature to regulate the amount of air inside a ball. Inside the refrigerator, where the air is cold, a football will deflate.
Check the football every couple of hours until it has deflated as much as you wish, or leave it inside the refrigerator until it fully deflates.

Avoid placing the football inside a freezer, as the extreme change in temperature may damage the football.

Pavel Zoubok Gallery is delighted to be exhibiting once again at The Art Show (ADAA) in the Park Avenue Armory. To mark the 30th Anniversary of this prestigious fair, we will be featuring important works by the Polish-born American painter and collagist, JANICE BIALA (1903-2000).
On January 6, Tibor de Nagy presents its fifth exhibition of paintings by Biala (1903-2000). The exhibition features over twenty works from the 1960s through the 1990s including selected works from the Harvey and Phyllis Lichtenstein Collection. Harvey Lichtenstein was an ardent supporter of new talent and the President of the Brooklyn Academy of Music from 1967-1999.
Curator Jason Andrew discusses the art and life of Biala, a woman painter among men at the Art Students League, January 11.
With only a few weeks left to catch Biala: Vision and Memory, the historic retrospective of Janice Biala's work at Godwin-Ternbach Museum at Queens College, curator Diane Kelder opens up about her very personal connection with the work of Janice Biala and the struggles that come along with mounting the first museum retrospective of Biala's work.
Biala: Vision and Memory, a recently opened retrospective exhibition at the Godwin-Ternbach Museum at Queens College, showcases the work of an independent-minded artist whose subtly colored figurative compositions have the courage of her convictions.
Tibor de Nagy Gallery is pleased to present a two-person exhibition of paintings by American artist Biala (1903 – 2000) and her husband Daniel Brustlein (1904 – 1996). The exhibition will be the first time the gallery explores the paintings of her lesser-known husband and their fertile creative life together.
The Godwin-Ternbach Museum, Queens College announces series of important lectures related to it's current exhibition: Biala: Vision and Memory. The lectures series runs throughout the duration of this historic and comprehensive exhibition which brings together paintings, collages, and drawings from across seven decades the artist's career from the late 1920s to the 1990s.
The Godwin-Ternbach Museum, Queens College, is pleased to present Biala: Vision and Memory, September 12-October 27, 2013. The exhibition is the first posthumous museum retrospective of American painter Janice Biala (1903-2000) ever held in New York. Curated by scholar Diane Kelder, the exhibition brings together work across seven decades of work including drawings from the late 1920s to paintings from the 1990s.
The Estate of Janice Biala, in collaboration with Tibor de Nagy Gallery, is pleased to announce the launch of new website dedicated to the life and work of American painter, Janice Biala (1903-2000).
Biala didn't yield to abstraction. Things in the world–concrete objects we hold, traverse or trip over–were her art's impetus and end-point. The ages old endeavor of working from life puts Biala's achievement at odds with prevailing notions of avant-gardism, of forward momentum and innovation.

Weaste Cemetery is a public cemetery in Weaste, Salford, Greater Manchester, in England. Opened in 1857, it is the oldest of Salford's four cemeteries, covering 39 acres and containing over 332,000 graves.

Location

The cemetery lies south of Eccles New Road (A57 road) and is approached via Cemetery Road.

History
Salford was one of the earliest British municipalities to recognise that churchyards were getting full and that alternative burial grounds were required. When originally opened the cemetery included four chapels and a glazed summer house, which have since all been demolished.

The first interment was that of the very popular MP, Joseph Brotherton, who had campaigned for the cemetery and died just before its completion.  Brotherton died on 7 January 1857 and his funeral took place a week later on 14 January.  The cemetery was formally opened on 1 September 1857.

Then known as Salford Borough Cemetery, the site was extended by  in 1887, by which time there had been 124,500 burials. The original  site was becoming full and a  area bought earlier with the intention of being used as an addition had been compulsorily purchased for development of the Manchester Ship Canal. At that time, the cemetery was making a profit of around £2,500 per annum.

During the Second World War at Christmas 1940, a German bomb fell on the cemetery during a raid on the nearby docks. Several headstones are still peppered with marks and holes caused by the shrapnel.

Salford Council have mapped out a heritage trail for the cemetery and noteworthy graves have been provided with information panels. Occasional guided tours of the cemetery also take place. Several of the monuments in the cemetery are Grade II listed.

Notable interments
 Joseph Brotherton (1783–1857) - first MP for Salford

War graves
The cemetery contains the graves of 373 Commonwealth service personnel who died during the First and Second World Wars, plus numerous memorials to servicemen buried abroad. Some of the 274 First World War dead lie in war grave plots in both the Church of England and Roman Catholic sections, each plot having a Screen Memorial listing the dead buried within them, while the 99 Second World War dead are scattered amidst the cemetery and there is also a special memorial listing 7 personnel buried in graves that could not be marked.

Arab Fashion Council, UK's Fashion Council join hands
Kohan Journal March 6, 2018	Garment & fashion Leave a comment 338 Views
The Arab Fashion Council (AFC), representing the 22 Arabic countries' members of the Arab League, has established a multi-year partnership with the British Fashion Council (BFC). The partnership will help deliver a growth strategy for the fashion industry within the Arab World and provide a gateway into the region for British and international brands.
This partnership, which will see the BFC become a Strategic Development Partner of the Arab Fashion Council has two main aims; to deliver a growth strategy for the fashion industry within the Arab World and to provide a gateway in to the region for British and international brands without a foothold there currently.
"We look forward to working with AFC as they develop their fashion infrastructure and community. We also look forward to developing opportunities for brands and businesses to expand into the Arabic countries through this new relationship with the AFC, who are experts in their market," said Caroline Rush, chief executive, British Fashion Council.
The partnership is the foundation of a long-term strategy to establish a sustainable fashion infrastructure in the Arab World, harnessing design, manufacturing, retail, commerce and education, positioning the region as a key strategic hub cementing the fashion industry as a key pillar for the creative economies in the region.
"This important partnership, will support the Arab Fashion Council in achieving its ambition to unite a sustainable fashion system for the Arab World. With the counsel and expertise of the British Fashion Council, the AFC will nurture and promote the talent resource from the region and strategically reinforce the Arab World as an important economic hub for the international fashion industry," said Jacob Abrian, founder and chief executive, the Arab Fashion Council.
As part of the Council's regional expansion, in December 2017, the AFC announced the opening of its regional office in Riyadh and the appointment of Princess Noura Bint Faisal Al Saud as honorary president.
"We are pleased to form a strategic alliance between the Arab Fashion Council and the British Fashion Council. This reflects the global interest in our vision to transform the fashion and retail sector in Saudi Arabia into both a regional and global destination. This can only happen by stimulating local and regional industry, by encouraging trade exchange and global business in line with the Vision 2030, as our gateway to a future that reflects the cultural image of Saudi Arabia and its people," Noura Bint Faisal Al Saud said.
Layla Issa Abuzaid, country director Saudi Arabia, the Arab Fashion Council, summarised; "The strategic partnership we are announcing today between the Arab Fashion Council and the British Fashion Council is part of our quest to strengthen the fashion sector in Saudi Arabia and to support talent in a young society where median age is just 29. We are confident that we are on the right track to transform the fashion industry of the Kingdom into one of the leading economic sectors for Saudi Arabia, creating new job opportunities, opening markets for Saudi exports and supporting the economic development of the country by becoming part of a world industry worth over three trillion dollars.

ADAM'S TOP 100 OF 2015: #02 and #01
Pop 'til you drop.
Here it is, the annual countdown of the top 100 hits based on my weekly personal charts from the first week of December in 2014 to the last week of November in 2015. It was another great year for both chart veterans and newcomers, novelty hits and timeless ballads, country, pop, rock, and everything in between. We have them all, from "Hello" to "No Good In Goodbye". Now, it is time to say "hello" to the Top 100 and "goodbye" to the year that was 2015.
Well, we've made it to the top two songs on my year-end chart for 2015. Before we dive in, I just wanted to take a moment to say a quick thank you to everyone that's been following the reveal and supported the blog this year. Whether you've liked it or shared it or even if this is the first time you've read it in 2015, it really means a lot that you chose to head on over to my blog. Here's hoping that you stick around for what's coming in 2016! Alright, let's do this. Here are my #2 and #1 songs for the year…
002. YEARS & YEARS – "King"
Label: Interscope
Album: Communion
Top 40 Weeks: 29
Formed in 2010, the London-based trio of Olly Alexander, Mikey Goldsworthy, and Emre Türkmen originally started out as a five member band before their current lineup was cemented. In 2014, the group made their U.K. top 40 debut as a featured act on the single "Sunlight", which was credited to Belgian DJ/producer The Magician. They've now had five hits across the pond, with the song that comes in at #2 on my Top 100 of 2015 remaining their biggest thus far. Yes, it's not quite the "King" of my year-end list, but it certainly put up a good effort.
On My Chart: "King" entered at #10 on the Next In Line list for the chart dated January 11. Two weeks later, it was on the chart, and by March 1, its sixth week on, it was safely in the top ten. On the chart dated April 12, its 12th week in the top 40, the song was on top of my chart, where it stayed one additional week. "King" spent an additional two months in the top ten after its run at #1, a rarity when most former chart-toppers in 2015 averaged about 5 or so weeks falling down and out of my top ten. Though "Desire" narrowly missed the top spot in October and November, they'll hopefully find themselves at #1 again soon.
On The Charts: You might ask yourself, "How did this single tank in U.S.?" Unfortunately, the buzz from overseas, including its #1 peak in the U.K., wasn't enough to make it a big hit here. On the pop radio survey, it stalled at #37 for two weeks in late June. A follow-up, "Desire", couldn't even reach the top 50. Some say that it wasn't meant to be, but I beg to differ. Alas, life goes on.
001. JUKEBOX THE GHOST – "Postcard"
Label: Cherrytree/Interscope
Album: Jukebox The Ghost
Peak: #1 for seven weeks
For the first time ever, two trios occupy the top two slots on my year-end survey, and it's the first time in five years that a trio is in at #1. Back then, it was the country act Lady Antebellum and "Need You Now", a crossover hit that held down my #1 spot for 11 weeks. Now, it's three pop pals that formed their group in 2003 at George Washington University that stamp their seven-week #1 and mail it to the top of my year-end chart. So, to band members Ben Thornewill, Tommy Siegel and Jesse Kristin, I apologize for the wait, but it's time to celebrate! Congrats on your #1 song on my chart this year. It's a good one.
On My Chart: "Postcard" debuted in the Mix on the chart dated March 22 and made its top 40 debut by April 12, moving up at a moderate pace. However, in its seventh week in the countdown, the single leaped from 11-5 and then to #1 the next week, the May 31 chart, marking one of the quicker runs to the top this year. With seven weeks atop my countdown, the song also claims the title of my longest-running #1 of the year. It held in the top ten until early September, and wasn't out of my survey until the final week of the chart year, accumulating a total of 33 weeks in the top 40 this year. A follow-up release has yet to chart.
On The Charts: It slayed the charts, becoming a major crossover hit and multi-Platinum single… in my dreams. Sadly, this track couldn't garner more than just a few radio stations on the Triple A panel when it was serviced. Needless to say, I think it was a real missed opportunity for both the label and radio as a whole. (Interscope could always try it again in 2016, I suppose. Please?)
You can always follow and listen to the Top 100 of 2015 on Spotify, or check out the full list with a point breakdown and the songs below the Top 100. Thanks once again for checking out the rankings, and we'll see you back for the weekly chart on Sunday!

Now, the two former #1 songs from my personal chart that rank at #4 and #3 for the year!
004. ELLIE GOULDING – "Love Me Like You Do"
Label: Cherrytree/Interscope/Republic
Album: Fifty Shades Of Grey: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
In the history of the pop radio survey, only twice has there been a period where three songs from the movies consecutively hit #1. In 1978, it was three cuts from the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever. In 1998, two singles from City Of Angels hit the top spot, followed by one from Armageddon. This past May, Goulding's Fifty Shades Of Grey song started another three song chain, which was followed by The Weeknd's "Earned It" (FSOG) and then Furious 7's "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.
On My Chart: Goulding's track was one of the big Q1 records at both radio and retail, and thus, it bypassed my sections beneath the chart and landed as the #40 debut on my chart dated January 11. It reached the top ten in its fifth week (February 8) and got a lift to the top on the chart dated March 15, its tenth week on. Its 28-week total is the longest chart run for a solo female this year.
On The Charts: Given the film and soundtrack's success, it's no surprise that "Love" was a global smash and is currently up for a Golden Globe nomination and several Grammy Award categories. It became a top ten hit in over two dozen countries, going to #3 on the Hot 100 and #1 on several U.S. radio charts. It's up to 412 million plays on Spotify.
003. SAINT MOTEL – "My Type"
Label: Elektra/RRP
Album: My Type (EP)
In 1982, Martha Davis and her group called The Motels hit #5 on the pop radio chart with a tender ballad, "Only The Lonely". It hasn't been easy for motel music since they, well, checked out of the charts in 1985. (They had a total of four top 40 songs, for the record.) Luckily, these four men from Los Angeles know how a chart vacancy comes and goes, and they rocked a reservation into a long stay at radio this year. It took them six years to experience a true U.S. breakthrough, but their time and effort was worth it.
On My Chart: The group's first chart hit entered the Mix during the week of January 18. It made the top 40 two weeks after that and quickly climbed into the top ten by March 1, its fifth week on. It slowed down from there, but made it to #1 by the last week of April (26) in its 13th week on. After holding at the top for four weeks, it held onto the countdown for another 12 before falling off.
On The Charts: "Type" hit the top five on AAA radio and cracked the top ten on the Alternative chart during the summer. Sadly, it didn't become a crossover single. It also registered top 40 peaks in Italy (#14) and the United Kingdom (#34) during 2014. That international presence has launched it to 33.5 million streams on Spotify since its release.
Tomorrow, we arrive at the top two, so check back then! You can always follow and listen to the Top 100 reveal on Spotify.

ADAM'S TOP 100 OF 2015: #07, #06 and #05
We'll reveal three songs today, #4 and #3 tomorrow and the top two on Wednesday. We're so close to the top, you can almost see it in the distance. Here come the songs that rank at #07, #06 and #05 for the year 2015…
007. THE SCRIPT – "No Good In Goodbye"
Album: No Sound Without Silence
Top 40 Weeks: 24* (29 total, including 2014 Chart Year)
Fifteen years after Danny O'Donoghue and Mark Sheehan first made my top 40 in MyTown with a minor hit, "Now That I Found You", they've been all over my chart with Glen Power since early 2009 as this act. They've scored with ten top ten singles in a row.
On My Chart: The trio's second single off their album debuted at #9 Next In Line for the week of October 19 last year, just a few weeks after "Superheroes" fell out of #1. Two weeks later, it was in the top 40, hitting the top ten by the chart dated December 14, its seventh week on. It didn't go to #1 until the week of February 15, its 16th (!) week on. By late May, it was "Goodbye" to this one.
On The Charts: "Good" stalled before it could hit the top 20 on the Hot AC chart, marking their lowest-charting top 40 single at the format. It fared better internationally, hitting the top ten in Belgium and Hungary. It's up to 15.8 million streams at Spotify.
006. DURAN DURAN featuring JANELLE MONÁE and NILE RODGERS – "Pressure Off"
Album: Paper Gods
Top 40 Weeks: 24+ (as of November 29, 2015)
They were "Hungry" for national success when they first hit the top five on the Hot 100 in 1983, and in the three decades since the boys broke the U.S. market, they've had plenty of amazing songs. Even though my list began in 1999, they've totaled three #1 hits.
On My Chart: "Pressure" bypassed the two sections underneath my survey and debuted at #40 during the week of June 21. Five weeks later, it was in the top ten, and then quickly rose to the top in its tenth week (August 23) on the chart, staying for five weeks. That marks the second-longest run at #1 during the chart year. It's currently falling on my personal chart, now in its 27th week on.
On The Charts: The odds were against it, but "Pressure" ended up reaching #33 on the Hot AC listing, which was a nice surprise given the band's four-year absence on the charts and the ageism of radio. It just topped the three million stream mark at Spotify.
005. ED SHEERAN – "Thinking Out Loud"
Album: x
If you're "thinking" that this single will go down as one of the best torch songs of the decade, you may be right. The x era launched four songs into my top ten, making it Sheeran's most successful. He recently took an extended break from his social media pages.
On My Chart: This entered at #8 Next In Line on the chart dated September 28 of last year, when "Don't" was still in my weekly top five. It went top 40 on October 19 and, much like in the U.K., took its time climbing my chart until the week of January 18, the list when it hit #1. It was in its 14th week overall. Sheeran's 31-week run on my survey surpasses "The A Team" and its total of 29.
On The Charts: Beginning in the fall of 2014, this slow burner became an international smash, reaching the top ten in dozens of countries, including a #2 Hot 100 peak and #1 peaks on three radio charts. It's been streamed on Spotify 555 million times. Huge.
Tomorrow, we go higher into the top five, so check back then! You can always follow and listen to the Top 100 reveal on Spotify.

Are we ready for the top ten, boys and girls? We'll reveal three songs today, three tomorrow, two on Tuesday and the final two on Wednesday. Get excited, because here come the songs that rank at #10, #09 and #08 for the year 2015…
010. ROMANS – "Uh Huh"
Label: Roc Nation
Album: Overthinking – Part 1 (EP)
Singer, songwriter and producer Sam Roman has collaborated with acts such as Disclosure, Mary J. Blige, Naughty Boy and Olly Murs, but 2015 was his year to shine as a main-credited artist, and he did. "Uh Huh" was an exciting and energetic surprise.
On My Chart: "Uh Huh" immediately debuted at #3 Next In Line on the chart dated May 24, then came into the top 40 at #36 a week later. It hit the top ten in its sixth week and #1 in its 11th week (August 9) on the chart. After its run at the top, it began a slow descent down the top ten, then fell more rapidly once it exited that region. By the chart of November 15, it was out of the top 40.
On The Charts: This song went to two U.S. radio formats, Hot AC and Triple A, and though it picked up a handful of stations on both panels, it was not a hit on either one. However, it's been spun nearly 1.3 million times on Spotify.
009. GAVIN JAMES – "The Book Of Love"
Album: Bitter Pill
24-year-old Dublin-born James made his debut on my chart this year, and the Irish singer managed to score two top ten singles in a row. ("Bitter Pill" came in at #46.) His album Bitter Pill recently debuted at #5 in his home country, though it's not out here yet.
On My Chart: "Book" was first put into rotation beneath my chart during the last week of March and then made the top 40 four weeks later. It entered the top ten in its seventh week. On the chart dated July 19, it climbed 2-1 in its 13th week on. After a second frame at the top, it began falling down the top 40 until the week of October 18, when it fell out after a 25 week total on the chart.
On The Charts: Though "Book" was serviced to Triple A radio in the U.S., it didn't chart at the format. However, it did make the top 40 on the Belgian and Dutch charts. It's amassed over 9.2 million streams at Spotify across studio and live versions.
008. WALK THE MOON – "Different Colors"
Album: Talking Is Hard
After hitting #6 on my survey in 2012 with "Anna Sun", this Ohio quartet came back with a bang in the fall of 2014 with a giant hit, "Shut Up And Dance", becoming one of the biggest crossover records of 2015. This splashy single followed it to the top of my list.
On My Chart: This hit from the band came in at #7 Next In Line for the week of April 26 and then entered at #40 the next week. Reaching the top ten in its eighth week, it took until its 14th week (August 2) to spend its sole frame at the top of my listing. By the week of November 1, it was off after a 26 week run, marking the group's second consecutive single to reach the half-year mark.
On The Charts: "Different" was a success at the group's core format, Alternative, where it peaked at #6 in October. It also made it to #40 on the Hot AC chart. In both cases, its performance was hindered by massive recurrent play of "Shut Up And Dance".
Tomorrow, we go higher into the top ten, so check back then! You can always follow and listen to the Top 100 reveal on Spotify.
Tagged as Different Colors, Gavin James, ROMANS, The Book Of Love, Top 100 of 2015, Uh Huh, Walk The Moon
ADAM'S TOP 100 OF 2015: #20-11
In the next ten songs on this year's Top 100, two cuts from one of my favorite albums of the year, the U.K. hit that should've gone to radio this summer and didn't, the case of two "Heartbeat" hits and their battle for airtime, plus, a whole lot more. So, shall we? Let's get back into the Top 100 of 2015 at #20…
020. JOHN NEWMAN – "Come And Get It"
Label: Republic
Album: Revolve
Top 40 Trivia: Shortly after Newman's leadoff single debuted and peaked at #5 in his native U.K., an adds date at CHR/Top 40 radio was posted for the song at the end of August. I was pretty excited, as were a few other people. Then, his U.S. label, Republic Records, decided to pull it, and an impact week was never rescheduled. No additional singles from the album have entered so far.
019. LIFE OF DILLON – "Overload"
Label: Disruptor/Epic
Album: Prologue (EP)
Top 40 Trivia: Though their act mentions a Dillon, no members of this trio are actually named that. David, Joe and Robert find themselves telling the story of their band name's origin quite a bit, recalling the memory of meeting a carefree surfer in Brazil. An unexpected encounter with the man, named Dillon, and the travel stories he shared to the three guys led to the name of their trio.
018. ONE DIRECTION – "Drag Me Down"
Label: Syco/Columbia
Album: Made In The A.M.
Top 40 Trivia: 2015 marked the year that this boy band's #1 streak on the Billboard 200 album chart came to an end, thanks to a boy by the name of Bieber. Justin Bieber's Purpose gave the young singer a major career boost and a strong #1 set, leaving an upset fan base to take in the disappointment of a, still very solid, #2 entry for the four. It's their last studio album before a hiatus.
017. CARLY RAE JEPSEN – "I Really Like You"
Album: E•MO•TION
Top 40 Trivia: You couldn't miss actor Tom Hanks in the music video for Jepsen's former #1 on my chart, but did you know the 59-year-old star was in another video earlier this year? It was a short cameo filmed for his wife Rita Wilson's "Girls Night In" clip, which was released as a stand-alone single in March. Could the Big and Forrest Gump actor participate in more videos next year?
016. MARK RONSON featuring BRUNO MARS – "Uptown Funk!"
Album: Uptown Special
Top 40 Trivia: The number of writers in this single's credits grew quite a bit during its time in the national spotlight. I guess it's not the biggest surprise given its nostalgic sound. The total currently stands at 11, five of which belong to The Gap Band for the sampling of "Oops! Upside Your Head", a 1980 R&B hit. Mars and Ronson are credited as both writers and producers on "Funk".
015. MAT KEARNEY – "Heartbeat"
Album: Just Kids
Top 40 Trivia: In January of this year, American Idol champ Kelly Clarkson released a single titled "Heartbeat Song", and as her leadoff singles do, it quickly soared into the top ten at Hot AC radio. Well, Hot AC is the format that Kearney does the best at, and his single was pulled several weeks later. It was a crushing blow for sure, but it did end up higher on my Top 100 for the year!
014. CARLY RAE JEPSEN – "Run Away With Me"
Top 40 Trivia: In perhaps one of the weirder chart runs this year, this single managed a week at #50 in August on the pop radio survey, then began to crash downward. Several weeks later, the song began to rise again thanks to a very late block add by the two dozen or so stations that are owned by Cumulus Media. Sadly, it didn't do much in its second run, but Jepsen's track is still lovely.
013. A GREAT BIG WORLD – "Hold Each Other"
Label: Black Magnetic/Epic
Album: When The Morning Comes
Top 40 Trivia: When "Hold" hit the top spot in September, this New York duo, made up of Ian Axel and Chad King, became the latest twosome to have two #1 hits on my survey. Those duos include the brother-sister act named Boomkat ("The Wreckoning" and "What U Do 2 Me") and England's Graffiti6 ("Free" and "Stare Into The Sun".) Will the two guys find an "Oasis" at #1 next?
012. TAYLOR SWIFT – "Style"
Label: Big Machine/Republic
Album: 1989
Top 40 Trivia: This is the last of Swift's four songs to make my Top 100 of the year, which makes her the top solo female on my chart for 2015. The most stylish hit on my chart until her chart-topper reached the summit was "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)" by Blu Cantrell, which peaked at #2 during the summer of 2001. Unfortunately, Swift never welcomed her on stage for a surprise duet.
011. CAUSES – "Teach Me How To Dance With You"
Label: RCA (U.K.)
Album: Under Bridges That You Built For Me
Top 40 Trivia: This song was recently reissued at both retail and streaming platforms here ahead of the release of the quartet's debut album. In its original chart run in The Netherlands, the song peaked at #21, but was certified Platinum and recently jumped past five million streams on Spotify. As the act looks forward to 2016, we'll see how Causes and their effect play out on the charts.
Tomorrow, it's into the top ten, so check back then! You can always follow and listen to the Top 100 reveal on Spotify.

In the next ten songs on this year's Top 100, we go international with acts from Canada, England and Ireland. We'll also recall the sweet year that was 2015, rev our engines to a rockin' record, and hunt down a discotheque Juliet teenage dream. Sounds like the time is here to enter into the top 30 with some trivia bites and check out the next ten songs on the list…
030. THE SCRIPT – "Man On A Wire"
Top 40 Trivia: This Irish trio had a lot to celebrate with their latest era, as it continued to do very well on my survey. The three guys landed two number-one songs, one of which is still to come, and this additional top five, extending their top ten streak to ten in a row. The video, as well as the "Superheroes" clip, was filmed in South Africa, a country that gave us several chart acts in 2015.
029. MAROON 5 – "Sugar"
Label: 222/Interscope
Album: V
Top 40 Trivia: This year was extra… sugary at radio across all formats. At least five of them were serviced: following this was a song called "Sugar, You" by Oh Honey at Hot AC, then "Sugar" by Jennifer Nettles at Country, a different tune titled "Sugar" by Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds at AAA, and finally, "Sugar" by Robin Schulz and Francesco Yates at CHR/Top 40.
028. AMERICAN AUTHORS – "Go Big Or Go Home"
Label: Island/Republic
Album: (single only)
Top 40 Trivia: The phrase "go big or go home" originated from a piece of branding by a company called Porker Pipes. Based in California, they created a line of exhaust systems for Harley-Davidson motorcycles about two decades ago. Of course, we hear it a lot today, mostly in the context of sports. However, it was inevitable that those five words would show up in a song or two as well.
027. SHAWN MENDES – "Stitches"
Album: Handwritten
Top 40 Trivia: Mendes's song took a lengthy 23 weeks to hit #1 on the CHR/Top 40 chart, longer than any other chart entry in 2015. If you're wondering if that's a record, it's close, but not quite. That title still belongs to 2012's "Give Your Heart A Break" by Demi Lovato, which hit #1 in its 25th week. Mendes's new duet with Camila Cabello could be a record to watch there in 2016.
026. ONE DIRECTION – "Night Changes"
Album: FOUR
Top 40 Trivia: This boy band has one more song in the countdown that they recorded as a quartet, but it was "Night" that lives on as their last official single under their original lineup (including member Zayn Malik.) Malik quit the band pretty close to when this song peaked at radio, though it was already descending on my chart for several weeks. The group goes on a hiatus fairly soon.
025. TAYLOR SWIFT – "Blank Space"
Top 40 Trivia: Swift's 1989 is going for a sixth #1 on the CHR/Top 40 chart next year, as "Out Of The Woods" will be, well, out on the charts in a big way. Katy Perry's Teenage Dream managed to accomplish the feat between 2010 and 2012, and perhaps the bad blood between them (allegedly) is serving as fuel for the 26-year-old singer. She has one more entry to come on the Top 100.
024. SAM HUNT – "Take Your Time"
Label: MCA Nashville/Capitol
Album: Montevallo
Top 40 Trivia: 2015 was a great year for Country crossovers on my top 40. Four of them entered the chart, with one of them in the running to be a smash on next year's Top 100 (Thomas Rhett's "Die A Happy Man", which climbed to #32 on the weekly list at the close of the chart year.) Hunt's release was the biggest, and he's now competing for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards.
023. WALK THE MOON – "Shut Up And Dance"
Peak: #1 for three weeks [2014 CY]
Top 40 Trivia: On the last chart of the 2014 Chart Year, this song began its run at the top. Had all of its weeks been included on this year's survey, I'm sure it would have been way higher. Alas, "Shut" had a massive 36-week run on my chart and might be their biggest hit for me for some time. If you want to do some more dancing, the third and final of those titles is on the way tomorrow.
022. NATE RUESS – "Nothing Without Love"
Label: Fueled By Ramen/RRP
Album: Grand Romantic
Top 40 Trivia: Perhaps a new fun. era would have been better than what occurred this year for Ruess's first solo outing. No, it wasn't particularly grand or romantic to see his debut album dive after its first week or to see this single bottom out quickly, but I still thought it was solid. Past "Nothing" songs to go top ten on my list include ones by Mat Kearney, O-Town and The Script.
021. X AMBASSADORS – "Renegades"
Label: KIDinaKORNER/Interscope
Album: VHS
Top 40 Trivia: The letter X marks a tiny spot in top 40 radio history, as only one act (prior to this one) and one song beginning with the letter had ever reached that portion of the chart. In November 1993, the R&B group Xscape went to #8 with their debut single, "Just Kickin' It". In September 1980, "Xanadu", by Olivia Newton-John and the Electric Light Orchestra, got to #2.

In the next ten songs on this year's Top 100, a former American Idol winner, a young performer who auditioned for Idol and had her big break many years later, two songs from an English performer and the incredibly shrinking group that first made my chart as a quintet and is now a trio. Let's enter into the top 40 with some added trivia and check out the next ten songs on the list…
040. CAUSES – "Walk On Water"
Top 40 Trivia: This quartet, led by Rupert Blackman, has one more song to go on the Top 100. Until we "dance" on over to the section of the chart, we have this miraculous musical moment, a title that's been a hit on the Hot 100 two times before. In 1972, it was Neil Diamond who took his single to #17, and in 1988, Eddie Money took his song up to #9. That's a whole lot of walking.
039. KELLY CLARKSON – "Invincible"
Album: Piece By Piece
Top 40 Trivia: Clarkson remains the biggest contestant from any American Idol season to rank on my personal chart. 17 of her singles have hit the top ten on my chart, and 25 of her songs have become top 40 hits, way ahead of the act in second place. In my current chart, the title track from her latest album could extend that top ten total to 18 shortly. Stay tuned to see if that happens!
038. MARTIN LUKE BROWN – "Take Out Of Me"
Label: Parlophone (U.K.)
Album: Take Out Of Me (EP)
Top 40 Trivia: So far, in his short career, Brown has managed to place four singles in my top 40 in a year. I'd say that's a pretty good start, and one that will hopefully lead him to even more success on the national charts in 2016. Though he hasn't reached #1 yet, there is a Brown singer that has. In May 2010, it was VV Brown that spent four weeks at the top with "Shark In The Water".
037. ED SHEERAN – "Photograph"
Peak: #10 for two weeks
Top 40 Trivia: When Sheeran's song hit the top ten on the CHR/Pop chart earlier this year, it became the latest title to reach a top ten peak in three different decades. The other "Photograph" songs to do it were by Ringo Starr (#1, 1973) and Nickelback (#3, 2005). Additionally, "Photograph" by Def Leppard managed a #16 peak in 1983. I guess photos are popular in any decade.
036. TORI KELLY – "Nobody Love"
Album: Unbreakable Smile
Top 40 Trivia: Eight of the songs in this year's Top 100 were a part of iHeartMedia's On The Verge program, which gives radio stations at a given format a song to play for a minimum of 150 spins with special on-air branding. Kelly's track is one of four from a CHR/Top 40 campaign, like the previously revealed Conrad Sewell and Prince Royce and a higher release by Nate Ruess.
035. DELTA RAE – "Scared"
Label: Sire
Album: After It All
Top 40 Trivia: They've been touring all over the States this year, but luckily, they get to take a breather over the holidays. This sextet from North Carolina is a fantastic live act, and their albums are certainly quality, including their latest set. In fact, it was in the spring that After became the group's first album to make the Billboard 200. Here's hoping that their profile continues to rise.
034. SCOTT HELMAN – "Bungalow"
Label: Warner Bros. (Canada)
Album: Augusta (EP)
Top 40 Trivia: 2015 wasn't the biggest of years for Canadian-born artists on my top 40, but Helman, who lives in Toronto, had a solid debut with a track that just missed hitting the top ten on the Hot AC chart up north. Only Carly Rae Jepsen and Shawn Mendes managed to rank higher on my year-end list. Both "Machine" and "That Sweater" off his EP are now charting in Canada.
033. YEARS & YEARS – "Desire"
Top 40 Trivia: This single from the English trio was the third to be released from their debut album and their first to break the top 40 in their native United Kingdom. That was in November of 2014. Almost a year later, in September, the song impacted pop radio in the U.S. and unfortunately tanked harder than their previous single, "King". Can the trio have a proper U.S. hit in 2016?
032. PARACHUTE – "Crave"
Label: Vanguard
Top 40 Trivia: "Crave" was co-written by the leader of a former Adam's Top 40 act. It's the Gabe Dixon Band, and their one charting song, "Till You're Gone", peaked at #35 in the fall of 2008. Dixon, who now releases as a solo artist, is currently based in Nashville. (Another co-writer, Jamie Hartman, just missed making my chart in late 2007 as the lead vocalist of Ben's Brother.)
031. MARTIN LUKE BROWN – "Nostalgia"
Top 40 Trivia: A few of the acts that made this year's Top 100 countdown were featured in the Introducing rotation slot on the weekly playlist compiled by the heads of BBC Radio 1. This slot, which a song holds for just a week, enables a new artist to receive seven spins across several different shows. Brown's great song was played in October 2014 and led to his current record contract.

HomeWhat's New?SNV celebrates 50 years in Tanzania
SNV celebrates 50 years in Tanzania
In October 2021, we celebrate 50 years of SNV in Tanzania. Since its establishment in 1971 as a volunteer organisation, SNV continues to be dedicated to making a lasting difference to people living in poverty.
The 50-year milestone was marked by a function held on 7 October, co-hosted by the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Netherlands and SNV. The event was attended by a wide range of stakeholders from government, donor, and partner organisations.
SNV was established in the early 1970s by the Dutch government to link Dutch volunteers to large infrastructure projects following Tanzania's independence. In the 1990s SNV moved away from volunteerism to focus on areas of local governance, ecological tourism and education. To learn more about SNV's history in Tanzania, watch the following short video.
Now, in the present day in Tanzania, we focus on 3 sectors, Agriculture, Energy, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). We continue to be dedicated to a society where all people are free to pursue their own sustainable development and no one is left behind. This commitment to equity directs us to focus on gender and youth.
Below you will find a few highlights from our work in Tanzania across the decades.
Sustainable energy markets
SNV in Tanzania has pioneered a results-based financing (RBF) model to increase household access to solar power. Our RBF model introduced an arrangement of risk-sharing, which enabled firms already selling quality-assured solar products to reach more rural and remote areas. The 'win-win' arrangement was successful in shifting a higher percentage of overall nationwide solar sales from less vulnerable to more vulnerable regions of the country.
With smallholder farmers especially vulnerable to climate change effects, our Climate Resilient Agribusiness for Tomorrow (CRAFT) project brokers private and public sector partner collaboration to create an enabling environment for widescale adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices. CRAFT is part of a wider initiative working at scale across three countries in East Africa. In Tanzania, the CRAFT project is increasing the resilience of over 100,000 smallholder farmers across a range of market systems that are particularly vulnerable to changing climate.
Tanzania participated in SNV's largest WASH results-based financing initiative, the WASH Results Programme. Between 2017 and 2019, in Tanzania, open defecation rates in the areas where we implemented our Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for All (SSH4A) approach fell to 7%, from a baseline of 34%.
Under our Opportunities for Youth Employment (OYE) programme we have built the skills of out-of-school youth and acted as matchmakers between the labour market and skilled youth to stimulate and scale up entrepreneurial activity for young people. Since 2013, working through local service providers, at least 18,000 young people have been trained on life skills and technical and business management with over 14,000 (42% of which were women) having gained new employment

I've been dyeing stock for our first ever show at Woolfest at the end of next month and I have a new yarn base to play with. It's a lovely springy South American merino 4 ply, very soft but still with some body.
The first colour I dyed I called Greenfinch. We used to get dozens of greenfinches in the garden but I hardly see them any more. I thought it was quite an appropriate name but I've been informed the yarn is rather more green woodpecker than finch – it's too late I've written the labels so greenfinch it stays.
It's a semi solid with flecks of brown and yellow and I started on a scarf-shawl thingy that I'd imagined as a sampler of stitches knitted from the middle out. The tent stitch above was fine but for the second panel I'd picked a garter stitch, slip stitch combination and I must have unravelled it a dozen times as I can't seem to get my brain cell around the idea of slipping a stitch without knitting it. At least I know the yarn stands up well to a bit/lot of unpicking.
I also dyed some alpaca and silk lace weight and 4ply in the same colour which came out a lot softer on these yarns. As the greenfinches weren't available for a photoshoot I went for a new frond of Adiantum venustum, the hardy maidenhair fern. I've taken a bit of this plant with me when we moved house and this is its fourth garden so far, even on our dry chalk it still looks good.

A Celebration for Long Service Nursing Staff
Nursing staff who have cared for patients for 21 years or more have been honoured across Greater Glasgow and Clyde with a number of special celebration events.
Queens Nursing Institute for Scotland (QNIS) is a charitable organisation based in Edinburgh which recognises and promotes the advancement of community nursing staff across Scotland and provides support to retired nurses. They also honour nurses with Long Service Awards.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) in conjunction with QNIS identified nursing staff deserving of the Long Service Awards.
In the last few weeks events have been held at Eastwood House, East Renfrewshire where 42 community nursing staff were presented with a Long Service Award. This included District Nurses and Health Visitors from both East Renfrewshire Community Health and Care Partnership, and South Glasgow Community Health Partnership. Unbelievably there was a total of 1,173 years service between them all, with one nurse having reached 50 years service to the NHS!
Last Friday (5th), 31 Practice Nurses were awarded Long Service Awards at an event at J B Russell House, Gartnavel Royal Hospital.
Clare Cable, Director of QNIS, said: "I have presented at both events and it has been a genuine pleasure to present the awards.
"At both events I loved the loyalty and support for their fellow nurses that kept up the noise and applause right through to the end of both ceremonies.
"This is the very best of Glasgow Spirit"
Mari Brannigan, Nurse Director, Partnerships, NHSGGC, added: "It has been an absolute pleasure to be asked to present awards at both these events.
"The commitment demonstrated by our nursing staff to both their patients and the NHS is a real credit to the nursing profession".

Supporting Our Total Force
President's Cockpit / By MG Jeff Schloesser, U.S. Army Retired: As you read this you may already know we have cancelled the 2021 Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit scheduled for 21-22 April in Nashville following the Army's decision that it would not be able to support the Summit based on an Army Health Risk Assessment as well as the current environment.
COL (Ret.) Harry Townsend at the 2017 Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit. Rest in peace, old Warrior (See page 55)./ AAPI FILE PHOTO
Since we depend on the Army for our key speakers and leader attendance, aircraft displays, and general attendance it was no longer possible to make the Summit a reality. We thank all our many vendors, AAAA members and chapters, and especially our industry partners, who worked so hard over the last six months to make the 2021 Summit a possibility. Be safe, be careful, and we hope to see you at future AAAA events as conditions allow.
February brought sad news to many in Army Aviation: Colonel Harry Townsend passed away. Harry was a legend – an "original" Cub Club member who served the Army and Army Aviation for decades in three wars, flying 8,000 hours, and commanding in combat. He was inducted to the Army Aviation Hall of Fame in 2004. He served on AAAA's National Executive Board and our Scholarship Foundation for decades. We wish his family our very best and know that Harry will not be forgotten. A named permanent scholarship is being established in Harry's name. More to follow on that.
We also want to express our sympathy to the families of three Idaho Army National Guardsmen killed in a Black Hawk crash 20 January: CW4 Anderson, CW3 Laubham, and CW3 Peltz.
For our March issue, Branch Chief MG Dave Francis sets the stage for our focus for this issue: Army National Guard and Army Reserve Aviation. His deputy commanding general, BG Stan Budraitis provides great insight to the role and accomplishments of the force that makes up more than fifty percent of Army Aviation. Chief of the Army National Guard, LTG Jon Jensen, dives deep into the subject and follow-on articles from BG Dave Hall at the Army National Guard Bureau, and Army Reserve Command are really interesting and show just how important their formations are to our Army overall. For all of us who have commanded large units in combat, we have fought with, lived with, shed tears with, and laughed with our peers from the Guard and Reserves. It is clear to me that we are brothers and sisters during war and peace.
In keeping with our monthly "People" highlights, we at AAAA want to give our congratulations to three of our own who have been selected for promotion to major general: BG Wally Rugen, BG Al Pepin, and BG Tony Potts. A sincere "Congrats" to you all and our thanks for your selfless service to our nation.
A further congrats to all the selectees on the LTC Centralized Command selection board list!
We at AAAA National continue to work on a virtual Army Aviation Congressional Caucus meeting with the Army Aviation senior leadership, as well as a virtual Army Aviation senior leader update to our AAAA Senior Executive Associates.
As always, I pledge to ensure that AAAA does its part to help YOU: our Soldiers, families, and senior leaders!
MG Jeff Schloesser, U.S. Army Retired
34th President, AAAA
