Inside the Game: Mobile game advertising 101
Pixelberry Studios
Max Doty Writer, designer, producer Pixelberry Studios
May 20th, 2015 - 01:30pm
PocketGamer.biz has partnered up with US developer Pixelberry Studios to highlight its candid stories on the trials and triumphs of a startup game studio whose debut title High School Story stayed in the top grossing top 100 chart for a year.
This series of articles will provide a mix of drama, detailed learnings, and actual numbers from their experience launching and supporting a top game.
The mobile game industry's worst-kept secret is that a small percentage of our users account for the vast majority of revenues.
In fact, somewhere between 95 and 99 percent of most free-to-play games' users will never spend a dime on in-app purchases.
Looking at this statistic led our company to a simple conclusion: we needed to find a way to make money from the overwhelming majority of users who never pay.
Enter ad monetization
Like many gaming companies, we eventually decided that in-game advertisements would be the best way to monetize non-paying users in our games.
The next step was to figure out what kind of ads to put in the game.
The exact implementation of ads varies by game type, and how much a given company cares about the user's experience. Common ad integrations include the following:
1. Interstitial
These ads can pop up either at timed intervals or at a particular place in your game's flow. They can be a static image, or a full-length video.
Pro: Maximum engagement/exposure
Con: Potentially annoying user experience
Depending on the day, ads account for approximately 8 to 15% of our total income.
2. Incentivized
This type of ad depends on the user to opt-in to viewing it. The user is typically rewarded with a power up, bonus, or currency for engaging with the ad. (Note that the practice of rewarding a user to actually install another app is frowned upon and may lead to your game being pulled from the app store.)
Pro: Better user experience
Con: Limited engagement
3. Banner
A banner ad appears on a small section of the screen. I have seldom seen these used for game in the Top 100 Grossing list, but they frequently appear in indies like Flappy Bird (my cynical assumption is that this type of ad is counting on accidental clicks).
Pro: Uninterrupted user experience
Con: Potentially annoying misclicks. Low payouts. Cheapens the look and feel of the game.
4. Native Ads
A somewhat loosely-defined category of ad, but basically one that's been deeply-integrated into your game's UI. Examples include an ad appearing in a scrollable list in a game menu (similar to an ad in your Facebook feed) or an in-game billboard that links to an external site or the app store.
Pro: Better user interface
Con: Potential misclicks/bad user experience
5. Offer Walls
These ads, usually buried in a game's currency store, offer massive in-game incentives for users who are willing to take extraordinary actions (like signing up for a Netflix account, answers a detailed survey, or making a large purchase at a given store.)
Pro: Massive payouts
Con: Potentially poor user experience
Players can access ads directly from our game's main HUD, leading to high engagement. See the VIEW AD button, lower left
At Pixelberry, user experience is king.
As such, we avoided several potentially lucrative ad integrations that may have temporarily boosted revenue but may have ultimately hurt us in terms of retention, branding, and overall user experience.
Ultimately, we decided that incentivized video ads provided the right balance between monetization and user experience.
What to look for in a partner
Our next step was to pick a video ad network to be our partner. In doing so, we weighed several factors:
1. eCPM (effective cost per thousand impressions)
This is the amount a given network will pay out. For example, if a network is offering $10 eCPMs, they'll be paying you that amount for every thousand ad views (about a penny a view.)
2. Fill Rate
This number indicates a given networks inventory. At a fill rate of 100%, they'd be able to serve an ad every time your game attempts to serve an ad to a player. At 50%, half of the time your players would not see an ad.
3. Ease of integration
Most reliable networks will have pretty easy plug-and-play SDKs that can be integrated and tested with a few hours of dev work. Of course, every network says that integration is easy. It's worth calling a couple of their existing clients to make sure this is really the case.
4. Incentives/bonuses
Depending on your traffic, many networks will be willing to provide an upfront payment or a minimum eCPM guarantee for the first couple of months. A word of warning on these: while it's easy to be seduced by upfront guarantees, it's really better to prioritize a long-term, profitable relationship. That said, if this is merely sweetening the deal, it can be a nice short-term financial boost.
5. Brand vs. Game Ads
Most networks serve ads for games, a practice which poses the risk that your players will leave for a competitor. Brand ads (for soft drinks, fast food, cars, etc.) don't pose that risk, but tend to have less reliable inventory.
After weighing all of these factors and talking to many networks, we eventually decided that no one network would accommodate our needs.
First, getting 100% fill would be impossible with a single source. Furthermore, with one source, we could never be sure we were maximizing eCPMs/revenue.
A mediated solution
Our solution was to partner with Fyber, a mediation platform that allowed us to integrate multiple ad networks into our game.
Fyber's mediation runs a complex algorithm that prioritizes the top-paying network for a given ad view, thus maximizing our revenue. Fyber also does a great job of supporting dozens of ad networks, including the ones we decided to partner with: Vungle, Unity, AppLovin and HyprMX.
While we've generally been happy with mediation, there are several downsides.
There's a heightened engineering and QA cost to integrating so many SDKs. This is compounded by the need for SDK updates, which happen every few months.
Ad network SDKs, while each fairly small, accumulate to bloat the app's size.
It can be a time sink to manage relationships, debugging, and billing with several external companies.
When users find problems with a given ad, either on the technical or the content side, it can be difficult to find which network is serving it. (For example, if a user complains that she saw an ad featuring a scantily-clad woman in High School Story, I often have no idea which of the five networks I need to contact to get the ad pulled. This can result in a great deal of unnecessary emails.)
Overall, we feel that the increased monetization is worth these drawbacks, but it's certainly something each studio should weigh for itself.
Expected returns and seasonality
After we integrated ads, we saw a significant bump in revenue, with ads accounting for approximately 8 to 15% of our total income, depending on the day.
Note that this percentage is for High School Story, a simulation game. In other genres, it may be substantially higher: for example Crossy Road seems to make about 30 percent of its revenues from ads.
It's also worth noting that eCPMs can fluctuate wildly based on the time of year. Ad revenues tend to be especially high during November and December, when paid installs are at a premium and brand dollars flood the market.
For example, in December, many networks pay eCPMs over $20, while in February, that number may fall to $8 or $10.
As seen in the chart above, eCPM can vary wildly depending on the time of year
Overall, we've found that ads provide an excellent way for us to monetize non-paying users in our games.
While each game's individual makeup should determine which ad strategy works best, incentivized video ads through Fyber's mediation have worked well for us.

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 5, 2019 / It's hard to believe how successful the marijuana stock market has become in such a short time. Given the infancy of the cannabis industry, typically markets don't have the level of excitement surrounding them like we continue to see with marijuana stocks. According to several analysts, the past few months have been extremely instrumental in surmounting the growth of the industry, namely because of the recent influx of legislation in support of legalization. As more consumers continue to recognize the potential health benefits of cannabis products, and lawmakers push for federal legalization, the future of the cannabis sector looks brighter every day. Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI), India Globalization Capital Inc (IGC), Aurora Cannabis Inc (ACB), and Aphria Inc (APHA) represent 4 cannabis companies worth looking into on Tuesday.
Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) is a company working to develop innovative approaches that combine human skill-based expertise with state-of-the-art technologies to allow for the further development of its healthcare framework, but where they go above other companies in the industry is in their commitment to investing in a myriad of products and services to improve the care offerings for their patient network.
Earlier this year, the Company's executive leadership recognized the immense potential in medicinal cannabis as an alternative form of treatment for patients suffering from a multitude of diseases. In acknowledgment of this notion, Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) announced plans to formally enter the cannabis clinic space later this year.
In recent news, Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) announced towards the end of last month the launch of at technology-enabled mental health counseling service for patients in urban centers and remote and underserved populations. Dr. Tahmeena Ali and Dr. Robert McKenzie are two Vancouver-based family physicians with extensive experience in mental health care and will be championing the initiative. Mental health has become something of a taboo to discuss, let alone seek treatment, and Premier is taking the steps to help their patients receive the care they need.
India Globalization Capital Inc (IGC) announced in late February that the Company had successfully challenged NYSE American's decision to delist the common stock of the Company from trading on the Exchange under the Exchange's appeal procedures. In a written decision issued on February 20, 2019, a review panel of the Exchange unanimously ruled to set aside the Exchange's October 29, 2018 decision to delist the Company's common stock, finding that the Company has not discontinued the business it conducted at the time it was first listed on the Exchange.
Following the announcement, Ram Makunda, CEO of IGC, commented, "we are very pleased that the Exchange procedures allowed us the opportunity to challenge the decision to delist and to present our case to a review panel. We are happy with the result, and we believe the decision accurately shows our efforts to continue and expand our operations within our two existing business lines."
Aurora Cannabis Inc (ACB) made headlines yesterday when the Company announced its completion of the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of privately held Whistler Medical Marijuana Corporation, in an all-share transaction, pursuant to the terms of an amalgamation agreement dated January 31, 2019, among Whistler, Aurora, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurora.
Per the details of Aurora's acquisition plan, the Company intends to leverage its expertise in completing EU GMP compliant facilities to accelerate certification of the new Pemberton facility, ensuring the Company can leverage the Whistler brand on a global scale. Through integration with certain of Aurora's organic compliant grow technologies, the Company anticipates increasing productivity at both of the Whistler facilities and increase product offerings for both domestic and global markets.
Aphria Inc (APHA) announced earlier this week that Health Canada has granted the Company its license amendment, permitting Aphria to commence production in an additional 800,000 square feet of facilities at its Aphria One location, as part of the Company's completed Part IV and Part V expansions.
Following the announcement, Irwin Simon, Interim CEO of Aphria, said, "this is a major milestone for Aphria on its path to becoming a leading global cannabis producer, as well as a positive development greatly anticipated by the Canadian cannabis industry. Aphria's progress expanding production and automation is essential to our strategy of securing scale and long-term advantages that enable the evolution of the cannabis industry through product and brand innovation."

Romania's top football league to resume season in mid-June
Matches in Liga 1, Romania's top football league, could resume in the June 13-14 weekend, but without spectators, sports minister Ionut Stroe said on Tuesday, May 26.
"We will organize a conference on June 1-2, in which we will present all the rules for restarting Liga 1," Stroe said, according to Digi24.
However, the Liga 1 football season will resume with "very complex" rules, the minister also said. For example, the teams, as well as the referees, delegates, observers, and other officials, will be tested for coronavirus 2-3 days before the match.
Also, there will be three separate areas on stadiums: an area of internal security, which will comprise the football field, the access tunnel and the locker rooms (only a maximum of 100 people will be allowed in this area); the stands, where the press will be allowed; and an outdoor area for security personnel.
The Romanian Football Federation (FRF) suspended all football competitions in the country in mid-March.

Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra welcomes summer with two concerts this month. (Pixabay)
Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra welcomes summer with two concerts
Classical musical events planned for Sooke and Metchosin
Sooke News Staff
Jun. 5, 2019 11:25 a.m.
The Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra has summer on its mind.
The orchestra, under the direction of music director Yariv Aloni, presents Winds of Summer – a diverse musical offering to welcome summer.
Winds of Summer brings together Mendelssohn's Overture, The Hebrides, Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for four wind soloists, and Schubert's Symphony No 4.
Two performances are scheduled: Saturday, June 15, 7:30 p.m. at Sooke Community Hall, in Sooke and Sunday, June 16, 7:30 p.m. at St. Mary of the Incarnation Church, 4125 Metchosin Rd., in Metchosin.
Felix Mendelssohn's The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave) was inspired by the composer's excursion in 1829 to the Scottish Hebrides islands, famous for basalt sea caves.
The work includes musical themes that suggest the stunning beauty of sea caves, feelings of the area's remoteness, solitude and the power of crashing waves.
ALSO READ: Orchestra celebrates 20th anniversary
The Sinfonia Concertante K 297b will showcase the musical skills of four soloists: Jacquelin Kereluk, oboe; Don Mayer, clarinet; George Kereluk, bassoon; and David Watson, horn.
Franz Schubert completed his Symphony No.4 in 1816, when he was 19 years old. However, it was not publicly performed until 1849, many years after his death in 1828.
The work is called the Tragic Symphony, possibly because the first movement delivers a spirit of sorrow and resignation. This tragic theme is not maintained however, in later movements which include more animated and entrancing melodies.
Tickets are for $20 seniors and $25 adults, and can be purchased online at SookePhil.ca, at the door or at the following locations: in Sooke at the Little Vienna Bakery, Shoppers Drug Mart and South Shore Gallery and in Westshore at the Royal Bay Bakery and Shoppers Drug Mart in Westshore Town Center.
The SPO offers free concert admission to youth and children under 18.
For more information about the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra, please go online to www.sookephil.ca. Or telephone 250-419-3569.

[00:17:06] <cmorley1> JT-Shop: dialogs usually use <dialog-instance>.run() to wait for acknowledgement.
[00:18:06] <cmorley1> Then based on the return number to different things.
[00:24:57] <cmorley1> And that is a great tutorial for the basics - you've done it again Big John!
[00:28:42] <cmorley1> One quirk that often got me was when you selected a signal in glade you must click something else before saving or it doesn't notice the signal. Did you have this problem?
[00:48:15] <cmorley1> It happens when you just want to change the signal name or you forgot to add the signal name. You go in click the default signal name, it pops up and you save - surprise it didn't notice it!
[17:42:16] <JT-Shop> ah alex is hosting that?
[17:46:54] <cradek> I'm very close to making a 2.5.1 release. any last thoughts?
[17:48:46] <JT-Shop> is that redirect something you can change?
[17:49:50] <cradek> it's going to be easier for alex_joni to fix.
[18:30:41] <micges> cradek: very close means today?
[18:58:11] <cradek> micges: do you have something in the works?
[19:41:00] <seb_kuzminsky> what url are you using for the waterfall?
[19:41:38] <cradek> micges: how invasive is the 6i25 change?
[19:43:30] <cradek> micges: also how important - looks like 6i25 can run as a 5i25 with no software changes?

Posted in interview, jazz, pop By Bill Kopp On July 4, 2019
Love is Here to Stay: The Legacy of Tony Bennett
In the history of popular music, Tony Bennett stands tall. His professional singing career can be said to have started at age 13 when he was a singing waiter in New York City's Queens borough, but it was only after serving in WWII that he landed a recording contract. Bennett's recording career has seen him cutting more than 70 albums' worth of pop, jazz and show tunes. Today at age 92 he still tours and records, and his championing of younger artists has helped bring his music to newer generations of fans.
It was several decades into that recording career before Bennett – whose early hits like "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" had earned him a place in the pantheon of popular vocalists – started duetting with much younger singers. His collaborative spirit had already been on rich display through a series of projects with jazz pianist Bill Evans; the two recorded many sessions together, all of which would eventually be compiled and reissued in 2009. Bennett holds dear some advice Evans gave him shortly before the pianist' 1980 death. "Truth and beauty: that's what you need to follow," Evans told the singer. "Nothing else."
"Bill was such a profound artist," Bennett says. "His words have fueled me ever since, and I think he was absolutely right. You need to be as honest as you possibly can. But even in the midst of that honesty – which may be dark – you have to find the light, the beauty that is always present in life."
In Tony Bennett's music, that beauty takes the form of romantic songs. Whether they're about heartbreak, loss or the joys of love, Bennett sings in a distinctive yet unaffected style. And while most singers would have long since retired, the nonagenarian vocalist is still going strong: Bennett's current tour finds him crisscrossing the U.S. for dates in California and the Midwest before heading to England for a pair of performances at the Royal Albert Hall.
Bennett credits a series of breaks that came after his discharge from the Army as key in helping him maintain his singing voice. "I was very fortunate to be able to study at the American Theatre Wing," he says. "I took all kinds of classes: acting, movement and vocal instruction." He specifically cites his training in the Bel Canto singing method, one used by many opera singers. "It gave me the foundation I needed right through the years to be able to keep my voice in shape," he says.
"There is a saying that I was told once," Bennett continues. "If you skip your exercises for a day, you will know it. If you skip your exercises for two days, the band will know it. And if you skip your exercises for three days, the audience will know it."
Though Bennett's type of music fell out of favor during the rock era, by the 1990s his career was once again in full flower. Once the new century began, he cut an acclaimed album with k.d. lang, following it up with Duets: An American Classic. On that Platinum-selling release he was joined by a variety of singers from across the pop music landscape, including the Dixie Chicks, Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello and Stevie Wonder. 2011's Duets II repeated the formula with similar success. Viva Duets explored a Latin American style.
In 2014 Bennett released one of his most successful albums, Cheek to Cheek, with Lady Gaga. Bennett is effusive in his praise of the singer-actor-songwriter. "When she gets on stage she understands that the audience wants to be entertained," he says. "That's why she has so many fans who absolutely adore her. I am one of them."
More recently, Bennett released yet another collaborative album, this one with Diana Krall; the two first sang together on the Grammy-winning Duets: An American Classic; the new album, 2018's Love is Here to Stay digs into the Great American Songbook with superb results.
A consummate entertainer, Tony Bennett lives to perform. He says that his goal is to make sure audiences leave his shows saying, "I enjoyed myself tonight." "That's how I would like to be remembered," he says. "As an entertainer who made people feel good."

8 July 2018, Coalgebra, Now, Oxford (UK)
Date: Sunday 8 July 2018
Location: Oxford (UK)
Deadline: Wednesday 6 June 2018
Workshop Topic and Aims
Coalgebra is a unifying theory of state-based systems. It has emerged in the last two decades as the right mathematical framework for reasoning about infinite objects and non-well-founded structures, encompassing and abstracting fundamental concepts such as bisimilarity, coinduction and modal logic. This area has now reached a level of maturity; the aim of the workshop is to provide an overview of the state-of-the art and perspectives for future research as well as to explore connections between coalgebra and other fields in theoretical computer science. The workshop will consist of invited talks by leading coalgebra researchers as well as prominent researchers whose work has often crossed paths with the coalgebra community. The workshop will also be a chance for a wider audience, such as the one attending FLOC, to be introduced to coalgebra theory by some of the founders of the field.

Explore How American Art Came to be, From Founding Families to Our Newest Immigrants, at the New Whitney Museum
"America is hard to see.
Less partial witnesses than he
In book on book have testified
They could not see it from outside"
— Robert Frost
The new Whitney Museum, located in the vibrant Meatpacking district of New York City, has finally opened its doors and invited the public in to view one of the largest exhibitions of American art ever assembled. The building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winner architect Renzo Piano and conceived as a laboratory for artists, is as much a piece of art as what lies within its walls. Eight stories tall with numerous outdoor exhibits, galleries and terraces overlooking both the Hudson River and iconic New York City skyline, navigating the building becomes part of the overall experience.
For their inaugural exhibit, the Whitney drew from its permanent gallery to give a comprehensive look at the modern and contemporary art of the United States. Entitled America is Hard to See, taken from a Robert Frost poem, it "examines the themes, ideas, beliefs, visions, and passions that have preoccupied and galvanized American artists over the past one hundred and fifteen years." Starting on the 8th floor and working down, we are treated to a chonological exploration of American art, starting at the turn of the 20th century all the way to the current year. At its earliest, we see the influences of European art, as well as a post war sense of brokenness. And as America itself is fond of quick progress, the exhibition quickly takes us through Hooper's Realistic Surrealism, Pollock's Abstract Expressionism, Lichtenstein's Pop Art, Basquiat's Neo Expressionism all the way to our post 9/11, post econmic crash sense of loss and lonliness.
Every museum-goer, from the youngest child to centenarians, will find pieces that relate directly to moments in their lives. Some will make you cringe, such as the exploration of lynchings in the South, post WWII. Others will fill you with a sense of wonder and beauty, exemplified by Chiura Obata's wonderful woodblock prints.
A change in the new Whitney is to recognize our immigrant influx and have each of them considered "Americans," regardless of their birth country, opening up a tremendous amount of art, not previously viewed as part of our collective zeitgeist. Indeed, America is hard to see as its definition is blurry but its art is iconic.

On the eve of the Election Day April 2nd, the CRTA observation mission "Citizens on Watch" invites citizens to express their will freely at polls, and all election stakeholders to respect the law and election regulations, to behave in the spirit of democratic, free and fair elections.
"The election campaign was short, intensive, with an unequal media coverage, allegations of intimidation of voters, as well as with different types of public resources misuse and with a very restricted control of independent bodies. In such a climate, only lawful acting of institutions, primarily of the Republic Electoral Commission and of the polling committees on the Election Day, can bring assurance to the citizens that their electoral will and voting rights are protected" – said Raša Nedeljkov, the chief of observation mission "Citizens on Watch".
The observation mission "Citizens on Watch" wishes to emphasise that this time too, a proactive communication on how to enable citizens to exercise their rights was lacking among the institutions, i.e. on how to enrol in the voter register or to modify the data in the voter register.
"In the very finish of the campaign, at the expiration of all deadlines, there was a problem of the unregulated voter register which undermined public confidence in the electoral process. Dozens of citizens complained about various issues – election notifications sent on names of long deceased family members or of people who had never lived at addresses the election notification was sent to, as well as about the impossibility for Serbian citizens who live abroad to vote. There were also other administrative omissions during the enrolment or data modifications in the voter register" – said Pavle Dimitrijević, head of the legal team of the CRTA observation mission "Citizens on Watch".
The CRTA observation mission "Citizens on Watch" will have more than 900 observers deployed on the Election Day to the representative random sample of 450 polling stations, as well as 60 mobile teams that will visit polling stations in all districts throughout Serbia. A particular attention will be devoted to monitoring of compliance with election rules and procedures by all stakeholders included in the process. The public will be informed about all findings during the Election Day through regular press conferences.
We wish to remind that voters registered in the voter register may cast their vote by presenting their identity card, passport or driver's license indicating personal data. Upon expiry of the validity period of the previously issued identity card, the voters can cast their votes by presenting a notification issued by the Ministry of the Interior that the process of issuing a new identity card is underway. The notification on voting received at the personal address does not represent a condition to vote and does not have to be brought to the polling station. Voters can check at what polling station they can exercise their right to vote on the website of the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government or on the website of the Republic Electoral Commission.
We would like to invite the citizens to be "on watch" on the Election Day. All irregularities and questions about the electoral process can be put forward by e-mail [email protected] or by phone: 069/232 1901.

Q: CWSAD0016W - IBM WAS Node require the Feature Pack for Web Services How do i replicate the below issue  on WAS 6.1.0.21?
CWSAD0016W - Node require the Feature Pack for Web Services
It's popping up on 6.1.0.45 on some upper end environments of clients. Any pointers will be really appreciated.
Do i have to disable any feature on default installation of WAS 6.1.0.21 or 6.1.0.0 ?

A: Try to install deploy a JAX-WS application to a node that doesn't have the web services feature pack.  You shouldn't bother doing this on any maintenance level that didn't support the feature pack, because it won't know/care that your app is jax-ws.
6.1.0.11 looks like where the feature pack "enablement" was likely added: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27011716#61011

South Africa: Confronting choices about free expression
As the G20 nations prepare to meet in St Petersburg, Russia in early September, Index on Censorship is exploring the nations' records on free expression
BY CHRISTI VAN DER WESTHUIZEN

Though the shackles of apartheid and the public role of Nelson Mandela have faded, South Africa is confronting questions about government surveillance in the digital era, media regulation and artistic censorship.
Apartheid in South Africa (1948-1994) was partially kept in place with restrictions on the flow of information. The state attempted to draw a veil of secrecy over the intensification of repression through detention without trial, house arrests and the torture and killing of opponents from the 1960s onwards. Music and literature were among the modes of anti-apartheid resistance from the 1960s onwards. Literature and music supportive of political opposition or that was deemed sexually permissive was banned. Some journalists, authors and musicians left the country to escape prosecution while many who stayed were persecuted. Television was only allowed in the country in the mid-1970s and only when the then ruling National Party was convinced it could control the medium.
The transition to democracy in the 1990s under Mandela marked a radical departure, with openness and transparency declared primary aims. Clause 16 of the Bill of Rights in the South African Constitution of 1996 guarantees that "everyone has the right to freedom of expression, which includes freedom of the press and other media; freedom to receive or impart information or ideas; freedom of artistic creativity; and academic freedom and freedom of scientific research." However, this right is not absolute. The same clause warns that it "does not extend to propaganda for war, incitement of imminent violence; or advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that constitutes incitement to cause harm." Clause 14 (d) of the Bill of Rights safeguards the right to privacy, including the right not to have the privacy of communications infringed.
South Africa's adoption of the right to freedom of expression in its Constitution is reflected in a lively national debate as democracy takes root. However, as pundits claim the space to hold to account the government and, less frequently, business, the past five years have seen worrying moves against free expression. These range from verbal threats to legislative measures to the irregular arrest of a journalist. Protesters have also targeted journalists at community-level demonstrations about socio-economic rights.
Four large corporations dominate South Africa's print media sector, which limits diversity in opinion. While the sector has been battling plunging circulation figures, as elsewhere in the world, it has still managed to invest in investigative journalism, which remains vibrant. Art and related types of journalism have however suffered from a lack of resources. The media stand at the centre of vehement political debates in the country, with newspaper leaks common in the infighting between factions of the ruling African National Congress (ANC). The combination of political and investigative exposures has led to ANC threats of appointing a "media tribunal" to replace the system of self-regulation. In response, the media funded a public consultation process, and a new system has been instituted which remains self-regulatory but includes more mechanisms to allow greater accountability of the press to the public. However, the ANC has decided that the country's parliament should still investigate the creation of a media tribunal "that is empowered to impose sanctions without the loss of any constitutional rights".
The Protection of State Information Bill was adopted by parliament this year, despite concerted resistance from a wide range of organisations and individuals. The bill, driven by state security agencies, is expected to undermine access to state information and inhibit investigative journalism. Revisions did not address its draconian penalties of up to 25 years or the overly narrow scope of its belatedly included public interest clause. In a significant improvement, however, the bill no longer overrides the Protection of Access to Information Act or the Protected Disclosures Act, both passed in 2000.
Recent changes in print media ownership have seen the Independent Newspapers (former Argus) group returned by the Irish company Independent News and Media (INM) to South African control. While INM is generally regarded as having "harvested" the Independent Newspapers and thereby stunting its growth in South Africa, the acquisition by Sekunjalo has raised concerns about political control as business allies of the ruling party are involved in the deal.
Most South Africans remain dependent on television and especially radio for information. The state-owned South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) remains the dominant TV and radio outlet with its programming in all 11 languages. However, the SABC has been riddled with management battles and repeated allegations of political interference, which included the blacklisting of commentators critical of the government.
After a good start in the 1990s when Internet use was commercialised in South Africa, tardy and expensive broadband has slowed connectivity. Recent research suggests that 39 percent of adults, or 14 million people, access the Internet at least once a week. Another study found that a relatively high percentage of South Africans use mobile phone services (66 percent). According to the 2011 government census, half of those who use the Internet use their mobiles to do so, as only about 23 percent of households have a computer at home. Internet service providers believe this number would be higher if mobile broadband prices were more competitive. While mobile broadband is more affordable and faster than fixed-line services, prepaid mobile customers pay more than contract customers, which means poorer people have less access.
Regarding government measures, the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act of 2002 (RICA) requires service providers to record and keep customer information, which can be requested by government agencies. The act disallows interception of communication, subject to judicial approval. Similarly, a judge has to grant permission before government agencies can access mobile phone records.
The Right2Know (R2K) civil society campaign in 2012 mobilised against the General Intelligence Laws Amendment Bill, which would have empowered state-security operatives to monitor e-mails and social media communication without permission from a judge. While this expansion of powers was avoided, R2K pointed out that the final version of the bill still did not provide clarity regarding the monitoring of electronic communication passing through a foreign server. The Mail and Guardian newspaper has reported on the illegal bugging of private citizens' communication. Security agencies' illegal monitoring of communications has become a weapon between factions in the ruling party. In the most notorious case, the ascendancy of the current president, Jacob Zuma, to the highest office was clinched with the withdrawal of corruption charges against him on the basis of "spy tapes". These recordings, seemingly illegally made, allegedly showed a political plot against Zuma that involved the National Prosecuting Authority. Interceptions by the police's crime intelligence divisions rose sharply between 2009 and 2010, including illegal bugging that led to the recent resignation of the head of the South African Revenue Services for attempting to recruit someone in return for sexual favours. Meanwhile, the implications are unclear of the National Cyber Security Policy that the ANC wants the government to adopt by 2014 to prevent the distribution of "harmful and anti-social" content.
Artists have enjoyed unprecedented freedom to be creative in South Africa since the transition to democracy. However, political tensions have risen about art seen as ridiculing Zuma. In 2012, Brett Murray's painting called "The Spear" was exhibited at a Johannesburg art gallery, depicting Zuma in a well-known pose of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin but with his genitals exposed. ANC leaders pressurised the gallery by leading a march of ANC supporters to its doors. Two men defaced the painting while on display.
An amendment in 2009 to the Film and Publications Act of 1996 that every unregistered print and online publication that contains sexual content be submitted for classification by the Film and Publications Board has since been declared unconstitutional by the High Court. The Constitutional Court still has to confirm the High Court's decision. The board has been skittish about films depicting teenagers in sexual situations, whether consensual or forced. In 2008 it banned the Argentinian film "XXY" and this year it banned the South African film "Of Good Report" on the basis of being "child pornography". Both bans have since been overturned.

Dental implants are one of the most important services provided by professional dentists and, in many cases, there are the only way in which a patient can restore the health of his or her dental cavity. However, the topic still raises many questions and there are some people who postpone this procedure because they fear it or because they have unanswered questions. If you want to know more about Las Vegas dental implants, here are some the most common things that people would like to know about this type of medical service.
Are there many types of dental implants? Yes, there are. Depending on the number of missing teeth, a dentist may recommend single implant treatment (when there is one missing tooth) or multiple implant treatment (more missing teeth). More often than not, single dental implants are required in the case of patients who have lost one tooth after an accident. Multiple implant treatment is more common among senior citizen, patients who suffered from a disease that causes teeth to fall or in the case of congenital absence.
When should I get a dental implant? If a professional dentist has recommended dental implants Las Vegas, then you should not postpone the intervention. Missing one or more teeth is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also of dental health and waiting for too long can only make things worse. Even if there is only one tooth missing, delaying the implant exposes you to great risks: cavities, mandibular pain, periodontal disease, bone atrophy.
How long does the procedure last? With the exception of serious cases, single implant treatment can be done in one session. However, the overall treatment period will take longer, because it is necessary to go to an initial consultation and you will also need to go to regular check-ups after the implant.
What should I do after the dental implant? Perfect oral hygiene is essential after dental implants. First of all, you will need to thoroughly brush your teeth, floss and use mouthwash twice a day. Secondly, you might be required to make some lifestyle changes and eliminate factors that slow down healing. For example, smokers are strongly advised to cut down on their cigarettes, because tobacco prevents the healing process.
Are dental implants uncomfortable? When patients ask this question, they usually want to know two things: if the procedure itself is painful and if the implant feels different from natural teeth. Firstly, dental implants are only done under anesthesia, so you will not feel anything during the procedure. After the effect wears off, you will feel a bit of discomfort, but it will be gone in a short while. Secondly, implants are not uncomfortable after they heal and you will not feel any difference when you eat, speak or laugh.
If you have more questions about dental implants or you would like to schedule a consultation in Las Vegas, there are many professional dentists who can help you. For best results, you should only work with experienced practices that offer a wide variety of services.

No, there wasn't any snow on Christmas Day, but the day was fine and dry and, although the promised sunshine was more than a little weak, it was a good day for walking. So, no restaurant but a stunning walk with views on all sides encompassing the North Yorks Moors and views across to the Dales to the west, and the North Sea to the north-east.
The walk starts from Gribdale Gate, on the road from Great Ayton Station, and you take the short climb to the monument on Easby Moor. Turn left at the monument and follow the footpath, keeping right at a couple of junctions, until you reach the road [Cleveland Way] after about 1 mile [1.66km]. Turn left along the tarmac road, down the hill, past a house on the right, until you reach some farm outbuildings at a sharp left turn. Keep straight on here up the cart track through a gate. The track is rough and heavily rutted and, after a couple of gates, you emerge onto the moor top with a gate on your left and a description board about the moor. Through the gate keep straight on, ignoring the path slanting off to the left. Follow the path for about 1 mile, looking across to the sea on your right. You come to a a gated junction, where you turn left. Follow the track for about 0.56 miles, then turn left through a gate [the cycle track carries straight on]. You keep going with a wall on your right, until you reach the gate to Roseberry Topping. You can go right here through the gate and explore this little Matterhorn, or turn sharp left and take the path back to the car park. About 5.5 miles [9km] in all.
A walk with all-round views. The North Yorks Moors have the largest area of heather moorland in England, breathtaking at any time of year but especially beautiful in August when the purple heather is in flower. Take a picnic, or try the Royal Oak in Great Ayton. Simple food for hungry walkers in a long-established pub.

Due West is a country trio consisting of Tim Gates, Brad Hull, and Matt Lopez. The group is recognized for its distinctive harmonies. Each musician is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The group formed in 2004 after the three met at a party hosted by Dan Truman, who brought together people in the music business and musicians trying to break into it. At the party, Brad Hull, a guitarist, started playing favorite country songs and Gates and Lopez joined him by singing harmonies. Listeners thought they were already a group. Due West was born.
By 2006, the group was close to signing a contract with RCA Records Nashville, but the merger of Sony Music and BMG killed the deal. By 2009, Due West self-released its first single, "I Get That All the Time," and created a music video that premiered on Great American Country (GAC). The group's second single, "When the Smoke Clears," was released as a music video in 2011. Both of the singles made it into the top 20 of Great American Country. "I Get That All the Time" was the highest-ranking single from a self-released act on the Music Row Country Break Out chart in 2009. The video made it to the #3 spot on the GAC Top 20 Countdown.
During their concerts, the trio plays a song called "Tip Jar," and they have a tradition of passing a tip jar around for charities, and following their lead, the fans also give. For example, one night their audience donated well over $500 for the American Cancer Society while Due West sang the song.
The group contributed "Everything Is Beautiful" to the Letters to God soundtrack. The song was created at the request of Tyson Busenbark, a teen suffering from cancer, to have a song written for his mother.

We had a fantastic time at Seashore in Amy's caravan. We stayed in her pet friendly caravan this time as we took our niece and her dog with us, we have also previously stayed in her other caravan too. Both are lovely, well equipped with a few upgrades we haven't previously found in other caravans. The sea view from both caravans is amazing. The site has loads for kids of all ages, ours are 9 and 11 but we have been staying at this park over the years since they were toddlers, there is always something for them to do and enjoy, and it doesn't need to cost loads of money either with the beach a few feet away.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
We had a brilliant time. The kids loved it. The caravan is pet friendly and we don't have a dog but the caravan was spotless, you would never know any animals had been in there. Kids enjoyed the entertainment and the swimming pool. Waking up to look out over the sea in summer is amazing. Will definately stay again.
Thank you. Glad the kids had a good time.

Two game modes and eight new maps, all for free.
As part of the Destiny patch releasing next week, Bungie is making The Taken King expansion's PvP content available for free--for one week, according to the developer's weekly update.
The two game modes include Rift -- essentially a neutral capture-the-flag mode -- and Mayhem, in which every character's super ability charges extremely fast.
The Destiny 2.0 patch releases Sept. 8, bringing several changes to Bungie's multiplayer shooter. Voice actor Nolan North is replacing the work of actor Peter Dinklage throughout the game. Destiny's bounty system, light levels and bounties are also getting overhauled.
The Taken King expansion releases exactly a week after the patch, on Sept. 15, along with story content and a new level cap of 40. Bungie shared details about the upcoming King's Fall raid, which releases three days after the expansion, tasking teams of Guardians with descending into the Hive dreadnaught in pursuit of Oryx.
In the same update today, Bungie also announced it's extending the Moments of Triumph until Sept. 14, giving players the chance to pursue their last few -- or one -- before The Taken launches.
GameSpot has a plethora of Destiny news and previews on the horizon, so stay tuned as the patch and expansion release.

Nowhere is this discussion more prevalent than within the field of drugs and medicine.
To become a better student of the discussion on fair pricing in the medical industry, one must investigate the enormity of the built-in, long-run costs of product and safety testing, research and development, clinical, regulatory and quality compliance, and the desensitizing factors of a consumer base widely insulated from drug prices through the apparatus of nationalized insurance and the attending incentives, applied to practitioners through the legal perils of medical malpractice and the aforementioned underexposed consumer, to comprehensively, rather than precisely, prescribe treatment.
These total costs are incurred by companies whose several products might even fail to reach the market after the arduous 12-year stint from lab to medicine cabinet.
And remember, of the many drugs that enter preclinical testing, only 0.001% of them will advance to human testing, and from this meager total only 20% will eventually be approved, putting the average probability of any single drug eventually reaching the market at 0.0002%.
By the way, there is roughly a $1 difference between the average price of gas in Detroit and that of San Francisco.
I am wondering how this cost, as well as the costs of other goods and services, including utilities, rents and mortgages, might be reconciled by the popular and politicized model of deduction which has enabled an assignment of blame and crass scrutiny upon the executives of corporations who have merely priced their products at a market-clearing level which concomitantly satisfies the interests and applied valuations held by their shareholders who have personally taken a stake in their business.
To be clear, there is nuanced contrast between high-order luxury goods and others which have evolved into basic essentials, expectations or even entitlements. Of course, the majority of these goods which are classified as basic were historically or incipiently deemed luxuries. But over time people adjust their expectation thresholds to anticipate even those returns which have never been procured of their own personal might but rather through a system of transfers politely codified as welfare or the common good.
The primary distinction between the reception of drug prices and the prices of cars and other luxuries, for instance, where you will find tremendous differences in price by car brand, performance, etc., is the moralistic sentiment backing the institution of thought that individuals, or their perceived standing as something more vile or responsible through the name and edifices forming their corporate countenance, are endowed with that responsibility to target an ill-defined and completely-unknown price level that would be held as more fair.
Of course, hardly anyone would legitimately claim that BMW or Mercedes-Benz ought to reduce their prices to align with the contentions of so-called or so-believed price pundits who claim to possess knowledge of the elusive fair pricing of products.
Ultimately, I would urge any economist or logical thinker with a leaning toward truth or objectivity to first question whether a fair price may truly ever exist and more chiefly what any price organically signals to an individual or to the market. And in the case of Mylan, which today falls prey to the heated and accusatory abuse of Congressional opinion, the claims that Mylan has acquired some form of monopoly in the epinephrine autoinjector industry may find traction only due to yet another form of privilege honored by those very talking heads who today relentlessly and unabashedly denounce Mylan's CEO: that privilege of patent protection.

World's biggest fish market will be moved
Agence France-Presse (AFP)
BW20170622_S1
Tokyo's famed Tsukiji fish market -- the world's biggest -- will be moved to a new location, the city's top official confirmed Tuesday, after months of delays over concerns about toxic contamination at the new site. But city governor Yuriko Koike added a new element to the long-standing relocation plan, saying the current site would eventually be redeveloped to capitalize on Tsukiji's globally recognized brand. The present location, a popular tourist attraction that hosts an early-morning tuna auction, is earmarked for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
