The voice of Scotland's Ben Davidson @bdavidsonmusic shines on both the @HandbagHouse remix of "Anything" and @DSMmusic's ballad "In The Rain"
BEN DAVIDSON, "Anything" (Handbag House remix)
DSM and BEN DAVIDSON, "In The Rain"
Scotland's Ben Davidson has one of those captivating voices that will alternately make an uptempo song more vibrant or let a softer song make you melt.
Ben recently released the single "Anything" for Energise Records, but in its original mix I find his vocal doesn't so much go hand-in-hand with the production's additional layers of sparkle. In its remix by Handbag House, "Anything" is so well suited for the deep house genre that you would think it was the original mix. Like with Sam Dickinson's "Wild Sun" last year, Handbag House offers a solid alternative for dance clubs to relish.
While Ben co-wrote "Anything", it and "In The Rain" were co-written by Dan Scholes, a veteran British producer who also records as DSM. Instead of Ben, "In The Rain" was co-written with Canadian Kim Williams, and it's an independent release that puts Ben into more-than-comfortable ballad territory, which invokes a story of a past relationship and being constantly haunted by the anguish some memories can cause. DSM and Ben are so in tune together, making "In The Rain" a stylish and memorable treat for those who like softer music with a great voice to lead the way.

Check out @PLSandTYbased's wildly original "Run Wild" (also in a @LucaLush remix) and "Feeling Forever"
PLS&TY, "Run Wild" (original and Luca Lush remix) and "Feeling Forever"
For about the last two years, I've been frequently touting the praises of L.A-based, Florida-bred producer/remixer PLS&TY. With originals like "Down For Me" and "Good Vibes", the artist also known as Tommy Leas is coming into his own, and he's garnering so much attention that major labels are seeking him out. He's also just landed on an upcoming south-west US tour opening for Elephante.
His most recent 'double A-sided' release of "Run Wild" and "Feeling Forever" (both above) actually came out in June but I somehow missed it until remixes of "Run Wild" recently came to my attention. These songs are PLS&TY like you've never heard him before. "Run Wild" samples an acapella Finnish folk track called "Käppee" and creatively uses it as both hook and chorus of the song. The song is indeed a pretty wild future bass concoction that will both take you aback and bowl you over. Luca Lush will also make your ears perk up with a fun drum 'n bass turn (below) that punctuates the chorus. "Feeling Forever" is more chill but still futuristic, and explores an Indian-influenced sound with unique vocal-sampled hook. The song has lots of bright moments with percussive highs and flute-y sounding synths.
Both "Run Wild" and "Feeling Forever" show off the many talents of PLS&TY and he is definitely someone for whom you should keep your ears on in the next year or so to hear where he goes next.

"Don't Break My Heart Again" is delightful Europop-flavoured dance music from Australia's Peter Wilson @Pete80s in a @Stormby_music edit
PETER WILSON, "Don't Break My Heart Again" (Stormby edit)
Australia's Peter Wilson is on a roll after last year's duet of "Verona" with UK singer Sean Smith and this past Spring's "Like Dynamite" with "Don't Break My Heart Again". Perhaps a too straight-forward pop song in its original mix, the song is elevated in a number of remixes particularly by Matt Stormby, who spins and whirls it straight onto the dance floor. Neither the edit nor the club edit send the song over the top, keeping Peter's urgent vocal front and centre. Its European flavour definitely has 1984-1985 inspiration and the retro appeal is definitely complimentary to its classic overall pop sound, which would fit in very well with EuroVision (just sayin'…).

Ever-naughty trio @LiquidDietmusic return with steamy remixes including "Looking For Love" (Night Stalker mix)
LIQUID DIET, "Looking For Love" (Night Stalker mix)
I enjoy some songs that veer to the naughty side, and when I think of those, NYC/LA trio Liquid Diet (Billy, Georgia and Jonny) always comes to mind. Recently, some remixes from songs from their album Double Life have surfaced on an EP titled Double Life: Sloppy Seconds. So it's time to reacquaint yourself with "Looking For Love" in its slinky Night Stalker mix, which comes in both playful radio edit and more seductive extended mix forms. As you might anticipate, it's about 'looking for love in all the wrong places'. Musically, the song takes you back to the mid-80's around the time when Michael Jackson's Thriller gave everyone in North America the okay to get back dancing again. Think Billy Idol meets ABC while incorporating a verse from The Doors' "Hello, I Love You". With the music of Liquid Diet, it's a must to let your hair down, get loose, and just give in to its sinewy charms 🙂 Check out the enticing video for "Looking For Love" above.

It's 10/10 #02: New songs from @pete80s, #EricZava @DJMirkoB & @GorashDaniel, @finis_mundi_, @Iliramusic, @Boye_Sigvardt, @JeanorJuan & @FoxandCharm, @EleriAngharad92, @BLRofficial, @TimmyTrumpet @BlissNEso & @LeeFields12, and @Showtek & @LeonSherman in an @ATrak remix
10/10 #02
10/10 (or tenoutoften) is my new feature where I write about 10 hot and fresh songs in no particular order, for your kind consideration and attention.
I will also continue to write individual blog posts about certain songs. That does not mean that songs in the 10/10 lists are any less than those featured individually.
Writing 10/10 features means I will be able to cover more songs in one shot than I've been able to do recently. So you get to learn about more new music that I hear but don't always get a chance to write about.
tenoutoften 02
PETER WILSON, "Like Dynamite"
The Australian singer who so aptly brought us a different kind of "Verona" with UK singer Sean Smith returns with a two song EP, the better of which is "Like Dynamite". It's a complete throwback to mid-80's danceable modern rock, with particular and welcome reference to New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle". Peter's voice really flourishes in this setting and it's a lot of fun!
ERIC ZAVA, DJ MIRKO B and DANIEL GORASH, "Even In Confusion"
Another song that might take some of its cues from 80's new wave is "Even In Confusion" by Italian producers Eric Zava and DJ Mirko B with singer Daniel Gorash on vocal. Don't even think Italodisco with this one. It's delightful melodic house music that could be a real surprise to club DJ's. The echoey vocal reminds me of early 00's ATB records and totally suits the song. "Even In Confusion" is memorable and will definitely get you dancing!
FINIS MUNDI, "Right Now?"
Accompanying his recent album release Everything After is the single "Right Now?" by Swedish producer Finis Mundi. This is sophisticated deep house for the late night time which could happily accompany songs by Bobby Nourmand or Faithless into the wee hours. It's definitely atypical of the dance music from Sweden and taps much more into UK or Chicago/New York house rhythms for deep, dark effect.
ILIRA, "Do It Yourself"
Breaking out of Germany is the effusive pop sound of Switzerland-raised Kosovo-Albanian singer Ilira with "Do It Yourself". The production for this song is a hybrid US/UK bounce back to about six years ago – think Miley Cyrus meets Icona Pop. Like songs from that time by both artists, "Do It Yourself" is a potent anthem for young women. It's very distinct and has the potential to cut through a lot of other samey-sounding pop of today with its splash of a few years ago.
BOYE & SIGVARDT, "Ganja Fiyah"
You'll recall the unique song "Astronauts" by Danish producers Boye & Sigvardt (with MAGNÜSand UHRE) which I wrote about a few years back. After a few releases with American label Big Beat, the lads (Christian and Christian) have been trying out a variety of dance styles, and "Ganja Fiyah" is an unexpected trip into fun deep house with striking bass beats and explosive synths. Fans of Don Diablo, Afrojack and Armin van Buuren will definitely dig this one.
JEAN JUAN and FOX & CHARM, "Strangers"
Dutch producer and Soave label head Jean Juan unleashes his second single under his new moniker called "Strangers", this time in collaboration with Mexico-based Turkish producers Fox & Charm. It's exotic-sounding deep house that will cause instant reaction when dropped mid-set. "Strangers" is full of propulsive rhythms and an appealing vocal that go down pretty easy. Jean Juan says he's just getting started and I'll look forward to what's next!
ELERI ANGHARAD, "Earthbound" (acoustic)
Although she classifies herself as a Country artist but hails from Wales, Eleri Angharad has a lot of pop potential if the acoustic version of the title track from her recent album is any indication. She could easily ride the wave of popularity created by the likes of Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris, though she definitely has her own take on her craft. In fact the vocal on "Earthbound" reminds me a lot of California duo Bahari's contribution to electronic sensation Illenium's "Crashing", so I could visualize her in that setting as well. Recording acoustically is not recommended unless you can really prove yourself and Eleri has no problem instilling her appealing personality into this performance.
BLR, "Méduse"
Dutch producer BLR returns to Tiesto's AFTR:HRS label – he was the first artist signed back in 2016 – with the enchanting "Méduse" and its seductive French vocal. You can definitely expect a dark, hypnotic trip that has late 70's/early 80's retro appeal that will recall music from the likes of Cerrone or Patrick Juvet. "Méduse" will definitely be a force on the dance floor with the clock strikes 12!
TIMMY TRUMPET, BLISS N ESO, and LEE FIELDS, "High"
You may have already heard, but Australian producer/DJ Timmy Trumpet is set to be part of the European Space Agency that's linking dance music with space travel! You can hear all about that right here, but in conjunction with that announcement is the release of Timmy's latest single "High". While "Freaks" continues to be played everywhere at events and on dance music radio worldwide, "High" goes back to Timmy's jazz and R&B roots, featuring veteran US soul singer Lee Fields as well as reknown Aussie/American hip hop trio Bliss N Eso. The blend of influences remind me of early 90's mixes that incorporated all of those styles as well as house music, and Timmy and team successfully update that sound with "High".
SHOWTEK and LEON SHERMAN, "Listen To Your Momma" (A-Trak remix)
You can't keep a good song down and I'm a big believer of remixes to help good songs reach greater heights. "Listen To Your Momma" by Showtek and Leon Sherman was actually released in 2015, but it's such a fun song with an inspired vocal that a bevy of remixes have now surfaced. The best of the bunch is from A-Trak, who recently woke us all up with the praise to to the house music gods and stern advice for DJ's with Todd Terry in "DJ's Gotta Dance More", which was #1 for several weeks on my personal chart. With it's big bounce and plenty of vinyl scratching, A-Trak's remix of "Listen To Your Momma" should make headway to clubs and festivals all over the world this year.

German duo @weareSteamPhunk's "Hometown" featuring @CarrieLanemusic gets a spirited remix by @Uniryde
STEAM PHUNK and CARRIE LANE, "Hometown" (Uniryde remix)
"Hometown" by Germany's Steam Phunk featuring American singer Carrie Lane was released about a year ago as a mid-tempo dance track that recalls songs like "Closer" by The Chainsmokers. This spirited remix by new producer Uniryde could definitely reignite interest in the song. The remix captures the poignancy and reflective appeal of the original, but aims to make you bounce along to a more carefree, fast paced rhythm track. "Hometown" will definitely grab your ears and your feet, so be sure to check it out at the link above.

#BILLCSTop30 #553 – January 21/19
In this new chart, there's somewhat more movement and four debuts, but in the coming weeks you'll be seeing the chart shed many of its favourites from late 2018.
Nonetheless, this time around you'll still find A-Trak and Todd Terry up top with "DJ's Gotta Dance More" for a 3rd appearance (6 weeks) at #1, with former #1 "Loyal" by Odesza hanging tight right behind. But that's where things start to change up.
Mahalo and Le:Blanc's perky bop "In My Arms" becomes Mahalo's 4th Top 5 placing song up 8-3 on this chart, Illenium holds on to #4, albeit with a different song this time, with "God Damnit" in a pairing with Call Me Karizma climbs 9-4, as "Crawl Outta Love" slips down to #18.
The only artist from Luxembourg to ever grace this chart is producer White Chocolate, and his contemporary take on disco, "Mister Love", moves 14-8. Right behind is the effervescent pop/dance of "Play" by Jax Jones and Years & Years, climbing 15-9.
The fastest riser on the chart is the fantastic new song by Steve Void featuring Andy Marsh called "Closure", which soars 19-10.
Keep your eyes on these relative newcomers in the next month or so. NYC-based singer/songwriter Ryan Gibeau has the enlightening "Flying Away" moving up 22-16, while The Him's anthemic "Look At Us Now" looks like another winner rising 23-17. "Bite My Tongue" by Australia's Sam Bluer (27-19) has a unique charm, while Stephen Puth's "Sexual Vibe" (28-21) knows exactly what it wants. Molly Moore's great vocal helps define the urgency of "Be Here Now", moving up 25-22.
As Revelries' "Naked" departs the chart, it's immediately replaced by what is likely the Netherlands-based Emirati lads' best of the most recent trio of releases to date. In collaboration with Sam Smyers and featuring a commanding vocal by Oktavian, "Don't Think Twice" has the highest debut on the chart at #20.
It's everywhere and especially in the UK where it's been #1 for almost a month – soon to be replaced by Ariana Grande methinks – it's American singer Ava Max at #25 with "Sweet But Psycho". Right behind it is a gentle love song for the colder months that could be a pop breakthrough for R3HAB with "All Into Nothing" at #26 in partnership with Nashville singer Mokita.
And last but hardly least at #30 is "Paradise" by Parralox featuring singer Marcella Detroit. It's the flashy house mix by Eric Kupper that reinvents the song to make it fresh. "Paradise". It's the fourth entry for Australia's Parralox (aka John von Ahlen and friends), whose previous three songs all reached the Top 10, particularly 2015's "Aeronaut" (#4).

Disco's coming back in full effect with songs like @HorseMeatDisco's "Let's Go Dancing" with @AmyDouglassings in a @DimitriParis remix
HORSE MEAT DISCO and AMY DOUGLAS, "Let's Go Dancing" (Dimitri From Paris remix)
Maybe the songs just gravitate to me and find me somehow because I grew up as a teen in the era, and I've written about many recent records in the last few years that I've labelled "discotastic" or something similar to indicate a reprise in Disco music is in order. Well I'm getting mighty convinced that's it's well in the works when I hear songs like "Let's Go Dancing" by the British collective/concert promoters that are Horse Meat Disco featuring US vocalist Amy Douglas. This is a major flashback to around early 1977 pre-Saturday Night Fever when a good part of the music scene was still trying to convince people to party, dance and have a great time to disco music. Could it be that movement is starting again? "Let's Go Dancing" shows clips from Horse Meat Disco's British and European events called Glitterbox that show people actually dancing together without the celebrity and faux chi-chi of places like Studio 54. Similar but less well-established events are occurring in NYC so I'm hoping other major cities in North America catch on. "Let's Go Dancing" can easily be the good-natured theme for this resurgence, it's beautifully sung and lots of fun. Check out the video below and the remix from none other than the fabulous Dimitri From Paris above.

Add sparks to your "Sunday Morning" by @Matomaofficial and @JosieDunnemusic in an @iamAlyxAnder remix
MATOMA and JOSIE DUNNE, "Sunday Morning" (Alyx Ander remix)
An acclaimed debut album of 2018 that still seemed to fall somewhat under the radar was Matoma's One In A Million. With four stellar singles recorded with Becky Hill ("False Alarm", #6 on my personal chart), MAX ("Lonely", #10), Enrique Iglesias, ("I Don't Dance (Without You), #20), and The Vamps ("All Night"), the multi-talented Norwegian musician and producer proved beyond a shadow of the doubt that he could flourish in dance, electronic, and pop genres. Single #5 from the album is "Sunday Morning", featuring Nashville-based vocalist Josie Dunne. It gets a sparkling remix by Miami's Alyx Ander that will make you want to put on your dancing shoes instead of stumbling out of bed for your coffee on a Sunday. When the song isn't full throttle in pick-you-up mode, it beautifully focuses on the soulful edges in Josie's voice, making there plenty of reasons to enjoy the song. It also happens to make a perfect companion to mix into Avicii's "Wake Me Up!", so your Sundays really may never be the same again!

"Paradise" by @Parralox featuring @MarcellaDetroit is reinvented as a chic deep house track by remixer @EricKupper
PARRALOX featuring MARCELLA DETROIT, "Paradise" (Eric Kupper remix)
Sometimes you can't just let go of a great song with a fantastic vocal. Such is the case with Parralox's "Paradise", originally a mid-tempo pop/dance track for the Aussie production project featuring the fabulous Marcella Detroit, who most of you know as one half of 90's duo Shakespear's Sister (1992's "Stay") but has an otherwise storied pop music career. The song arrived on Parralox's 2017 album Subculture, but John von Ahlen is wise to make the song into much, much more, this time through release on Energise Recordings. So almost two years later, we have a package of several remixes, which is led by chart-meister Eric Kupper's chic deep house remix. "Paradise" simply sounds like it was intended to be a strutting house thumper like this, with the refrain of "the time has come to let you go" resonating much bolder this time around for dance club goers. With Eric coming off of yet another Billboard #1 remix of Ariana Grande's "Breathin", his remix of "Paradise" spells great things for Parralox and hopefully another opportunity to partner with Marcella on a future track. Mix this one in with Jessie Ware's "Overtime", another of my current favourites, and watch dance floor bliss in motion!

Easter Revision (ER) at MPW becomes more popular every year, with increasing numbers of students opting to gain some additional help with their preparations for the summer examinations. Why are the courses so popular and is Easter Revision right for you? In this article, we will discuss the reasons why so many students are choosing to enrol onto Easter Revision courses, as well as explaining more about the structure of the courses and the way in which they are organised, so you can make an informed decision about whether or not they would suit you.
Why is Easter Revision so important?
How are Easter Revision courses organised?
Students can either prepare on their own for their examinations or opt to take an Easter Revision course run by a school or college to help them. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches and at the end of the day it is important that you choose the right method for you.
Revising alone works best for motivated, independent learners who have a firm understanding of their progress so far and what needs to be done. Our 7 tips for revision success can help you get started if you are planning to revise alone. Working alone suits students who find the pace of the classroom difficult: if you find that it takes you a while to absorb information and that sometimes it feels like topics are moving too fast, you might prefer to take some time on your own to go through everything and make sure you have a firm understanding of each area. Similarly if you feel that the classroom sometimes moves too slowly for you, you might prefer not to be 'held back' by that.
One of the potential downsides of revising alone is that the time you spend is not always especially productive, and it can be easy to get distracted. Without someone to keep you on task, relying solely on your own discipline to keep you going can be risky. You might also be slowed down by not understanding something fully, which means that you either need to spend time working it out alone or you need to set it aside until you are able to seek clarification, which can reduce your momentum. If you do try and work it out on your own, you will need to be careful to ensure that you have reached the correct answer and are not learning something inaccurate. The benefit of this style of working is that when you do finally nail that topic, you will probably remember it better than if it had been explained to you by someone else.
Many schools and colleges offer short, intensive courses over the Easter period that are designed to provide rigorous preparation for the examinations students will be taking that summer. A good Easter Revision provider will cover key aspects of the syllabus in addition to providing students with support on examination technique. At MPW, we go beyond that by organising students into board-specific groups to ensure that every aspect of their revision is focused and relevant. In addition, all students are provided with a folder of past papers and mark schemes meaning that in the time between the course and the examination they can continue to practise what they have learnt.
The advantages of attending an Easter Revision course are that you are guaranteed a certain number of hours of preparation for each examination, which can be the impetus that many students need to hit the ground running for the rest of their revision. Having a teacher available for consultation rather than attempting to work independently means that you are kept on target for the entirety of the course and also that you have a second chance to learn the material from an expert, filling in any gaps that you might have missed initially.
All students taking Easter Revision courses do so with a view to improving their performance in their impending examinations. Easter Revision is useful to students in a number of ways because it can provide a thorough and intensive re-examination of the syllabus at the same time as allowing the option for clarification from a tutor on any topics that students find challenging or have previously misunderstood. Easter Revision also allows students to practise examination technique and learn about model answers to questions, which is known to benefit performance.
AS levels, as they currently exist, are being phased out. This means that many students applying to university at the start of year 13 will only have GCSE grades to submit to institutions. It is important therefore that these grades are an accurate reflection of ability. At the age of 15 or 16, university can feel like a distant prospect but it is important to recognise that not achieving your potential at GCSE might restrict your application options later on.
Part of the logic behind the government's reform is an attempt to reduce retake opportunities for students. In the past, students in year 12 would have taken AS levels halfway through their courses. Students who underperformed would then have the option the following year to retake any disappointing AS levels at the same time as sitting their A2 examinations. Although this was hard work, it allowed students to continue making educational progress in the expected time frame, finishing their A levels in two years and progressing immediately to university.
Retakes under the reform are less straightforward, firstly because many students will no longer take public examinations at the end of year 12, removing the necessity to thoroughly revise the syllabus and also to learn from the result and examination process. Secondly, students who need to retake their A levels will now need to dedicate the majority of a 'gap year' to this as they will be required to sit every examination again at once in order to receive a new grade. This is of course an unappealing prospect and differs from the current system in which students can simply focus on the one or two examinations that have let them down. Working hard and getting it right the first time is recommended.
Despite the fact that they will not count towards the final A level grade, many schools continue to encourage students to take AS levels in reform subjects at the end of year 12. AS levels will be regarded as qualifications in their own right and as such it is worth aiming for the highest possible grades in these as, if taken, they will strengthen a student's academic portfolio. They also provide an indication of progress throughout the course thus far and are a useful learning tool.
Easter Revision varies from provider to provider and the best thing to do if you are considering a course is to contact the school or college directly to discuss your requirements.
At MPW, students are organised into board-specific groups of no more than nine. Courses are between 4 and 40 hours long, depending on the subject. The most common course length is 20 hours (taught from 9am-1pm or 2pm-6pm every day for a week). As well as covering the syllabus or relevant topic area, students are coached in exam technique and provided with a folder of resources to support this.
I couldn't recommend MPW more. My daughter has just finished the Easter GCSE revision course programme and is now feeling so much more confident about her ability in the subjects she needed help with. She found that not only did the teachers identify and help her where she felt her knowledge in the subject was weak but they also taught her exam techniques that she has subsequently found invaluable. The revision notes at the end of the course have also really helped her with her GCSE preparation and she seems much less daunted now by the whole marathon of exams ahead. As a parent and as a former pupil myself of the school I can testify to the commitment and calibre of the teaching staff here and their complete academic commitment to both their subjects and pupils. I also found the reports given back to the parents at the end of course very useful feedback.
It is important to make the right decision for you so talk to your parents, teachers and friends about whether or not Easter Revision courses would suit your needs. We also provide advice on how to choose an Easter Revision course if you do decide you would like to move forward. Of course, you can tailor the courses to your requirements, allowing you to prepare alone for the subjects you are confident in whilst arranging some extra help for the ones you feel might be more of a struggle.

2016 IFP Gotham Awards to Present Appreciation Award to NYC Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment
by Erik Luers on October 27, 2016
New York, NY (October 27, 2016) The Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP), the nation's premier member organization of independent filmmakers and storytellers, announced today that the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment will receive a special Appreciation Award at this year's Gotham Awards ceremony on Monday, November 28th. In recognition of the 50th Anniversary of New York City's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, the IFP and the Gotham Awards are celebrating the Agency's fifty-year legacy of supporting storytelling in New York City. Commissioner Julie Menin, of the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, and Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen will receive the Appreciation Award at the event. Menin and Glen will then honor two outstanding members of NYC's creative community with "Made in NY" awards at the ceremony: Aziz Ansari, star, writer and director of MASTER OF NONE, a Netflix original comedy series loosely based on his own life experiences in New York; and Judith Light, the award-winning actress, producer, and LGBT activist.
"MOME has played an integral role in the growth and prosperity of the media industry in New York City over the past fifty years. Their efforts have not only created jobs and bolstered the creative economy, but also created opportunities for the many diverse communities of our city to contribute to the cultural landscape through arts and entertainment," said Joana Vicente, Executive Director of IFP and the Made in NY Media Center.
In 1966, Mayor John Lindsay established New York City's first official film commission with the goal of addressing the issues that were keeping many filmmakers and producers from bringing their productions to the city. This agency quickly eliminated much of the red tape previously involved by giving the Department of Commerce the authority to issue a single permit to allow for filming in city-owned locations and abolishing the city officials' ability to censor content of films shot in the spaces. In addition, Mayor Lindsay appointed aides to help the industry negotiate shooting on privately-owned property, and established a police unit to control crowds and ensure safety of the public during shooting. His efforts to make it easier for the industry to bring production to New York City paid off immediately, increasing production 100 percent and brining an estimated $20 million in revenue to the city within the first year.
Since the founding of the Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting under MOME, the mission to grow New York City's media industry has expanded to include many initiatives from continuing to facilitate local production through one-stop permits, production incentives, and marketing credits, to fostering a diverse and dynamic creative community with training programs, career panels, and strong industry engagement. The film and television industry within New York City has seen continuous growth over the past fifty years and now contributes nearly $9 billion and over 130,000 jobs to the city's economy.
"We are thrilled to receive this honor from the IFP and Gotham Awards, recognizing our Agency's fifty-year legacy of bringing magic to New York City and the world," said Julie Menin, Commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, which oversees New York City's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting. "Through the years, so many dedicated professionals have brought their creativity and drive to our streets, bringing one of the great essential characters to life: New York City. Simply put, there is no greater place to create film, theatre and television. Nor is there a greater talent pool than in New York City, which is exemplified by our two honorees, Aziz Ansari and Judith Light."
Established in 1991, the Gotham Awards is one of the leading honors for independent film and media, and the first of the film awards season. The Gothams provide critical early recognition to worthy independent films and their writers, directors, producers, and actors. The 2015 top film category winners were Spotlight (Best Feature), The Look of Silence (Best Documentary) and Tangerine (Audience Award).
Each year IFP chooses a jury of innovators and icons in documentary and feature film directing, producing, cinematography, and acting to bestow the Gotham's competitive awards.
In addition to ten competitive categories, the Gotham Awards also recognize those who have made significant contributions to independent filmmaking by selecting individuals to single out in tribute. Last year the organization honored director Todd Haynes, actors Robert Redford and Helen Mirren, and Founder and Managing Partner of Anonymous Content, Steve Golin. Additionally, a special Gotham Appreciation Award was given to Ellen Cotter for her contribution to theatrical distribution, including leadership of the Angelika Film Centers. The previously announced 2016 Tributes are Amy Adams, Ethan Hawke, Oliver Stone and Arnon Milchan.
Nominations were announced on October 20th and winners will be honored at a star-studded ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street on November 28th. The event will be streamed live on our website. To purchase tables or tickets to attend, please contact Steven Pfeiffer by email at [email protected], or by phone at (212) 465-8200 Ext. 219.
The Premier Sponsor of the 2016 Gotham Awards is The New York Times, and the Platinum Sponsors are deep euphoria Calvin Klein and Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Office of Film, Music and Entertainment.

The missing piece on the URC log
NEWS: While the United Rugby Championship logs, both overall and the respective Shields, have a familiar look to them at the start of the November break for the international window, one team is the missing piece.
That team is Munster.
Leinster and Ulster, who led the way in that order for much of the inaugural URC season of 2021/22, are in that order again on both the overall log and in the Irish Shield table.
And ditto the South African log, where the currently third placed Bulls and the fourth placed Stormers, in other words last season's finalists, currently lead the way.
There's a bit of a distortion to the SA Shield, as the teams have the same number of log points, but the Stormers have played one game less. The Bulls are leading only on the fact that they boast one more win, five against four, but the game the Stormers have in hand really cancels that out. The Sharks, now nine points behind the Bulls, have two games in hand because of the postponement of the recent scheduled home game against Leinster.
Edinburgh are also top of the Scotland/Italy Shield, which is where they ended last season, so what is missing? What is missing is Munster, who are usually challenging the other two big Irish provinces in the conference, and who are almost always in the top five, at the very least, in the overall log battle. The South African participation has pushed their expectations down a bit, but they would have anticipated being in the top five or six at this stage of the competition, yet are nowhere near.
You have to go down to 14th place to see where Munster are listing at this point where they've completed just one game more than a third of the league phase of their season, and that is a most unusual situation for them to find themselves in. Their narrow loss to Ulster in the big game of this past weekend was their fifth in seven, and that record is demanding a lot of soul searching from their new coach Graham Rowntree as he uses the four week break to plot a way for his team back into the hunt for at least a place in the play-offs and next year's Champions Cup.
Part of Rowntree's problem in his first season as coach after taking over from former Springbok assistant coach Johann van Graan, who is now coaching English club Bath, has been injuries. It has got to the point where Rowntree has had to include players on the bench that he considers not quite ready for an intense URC game like the Irish derby invariably is and hence did not call them onto the field.
"There's no-one left," the Munster head coach said. "If you had a pulse, and you're fit and registered you were involved today. That's the challenge for a coach, leaving a player on the bench when a game's particularly tight, particularly in a forward pack. You don't want a forward to come on, jump offside, do something silly in a set-piece.
"It's a fine line, particularly for a young forward. It's a fine line bringing that forward in a tight game and I felt for Evan O'Connell at the end. I apologised but I said I stand by why I didn't bring you on, and Ben Healy. In tight games like that, it has to be the right decision."
Rowntree was pleased with the fight shown by his players, with the hosts fighting back from an early deficit to eventually go down by just one point to an Ulster team that registered their first win at Limerick's Thomond Park since 2014. That gives him hope going forward, with the game scheduled against the South Africa A side at a sold-out Pairc Ui Chaoimh on November 10, being targeted as a hoped-for turn-around for his charges before the URC resumes at the end of the month.
Munster do have a lot of ground to make up though as they are currently behind Connacht too and thus last on the Irish Shield log.
Topping the log is the imperious Leinster, who continued their inexorable march to another pole position finish in the URC with an emphatic 30-point away win over Scarlets, a result that was made significant by the fact that the winners at Parc Y Scarlets were without their raft of internationals as the Irish teams headed into an understrength segment of the competition for the first time.
Leinster are the only unbeaten team in the competition going into the November break and have missed out on just two bonus points along the way. Of the other teams in the top four, both Ulster and the Stormers have a game in hand on them, but with an eight and nine point advantage respectively over those two teams there is no distortion to their position of strength.

What I'm most looking forward to is going to KVCC, because I've heard college days are the best years of your life. Also I can't wait for graduation; it's a little scary though because you're taking first big step into the real world. No one knows the real world until you've been in it, just thought I'd put that out there. I'm looking forward to making new friends in college. I'm definitely looking forward to getting my dream career going. I want to become a famous producer, I know how to do most of the video and editing already and I definitely have the creativity to become one. In college I hope to play baseball and excel at that because becoming a MLB baseball player was my biggest dream before wanting to be a Producer. Along with college I'm looking forward to the summer. I can't wait to go to the beach and the bonfires ahead. I want to go to a bunch of concerts, hoping to see Daniel Tosh on stage when he comes to Michigan. That, for me, is a can't miss opportunity. He, Jeff Dunham, and Gabriel Iglesias are my favorite comedians. The summer is the best season, I'm with my friends and it's like nothing wrong and we can just kick back and hang without a care in the world. There are so many things that I'm looking forward to, some may not come for a while, but it's going to be worth it in the end.
Friends are people that will always have your back, will always be by your side, won't say stuff behind your back. Friends are people that will fight for you and you can trust. If people can't do any of these things, then none of them are your true friends.
NO. it's a bunch of crap and hardly ever becomes true.
If forced to give up one, which would you choose: love, friendship, or family?
Well if you lose love you'll lose the other two.
no. I ate it for dinner that night so it couldn't.
Love: when i have that special person. Hate: when i'm single.
Feel like crap. Day's been like crap. Can't wait to leave.

Question of overflown word "sustainability" -What should be the actual definition of it?
The brand considers the context of sustainability can't be convinced only by the state of its materials used but the life of garments that could stay long in a wardrobe. Beyond the must each garment should be special to its owner/wearer, another way of sustainability can be performed by its versatility and transformability so the garments could function in many ways.
We are challenging to suggest multi-tasks in a single item.
It is a metaphor that transformable layers indicate the state of a person how an individual have become a self today through overlaid life-time events and experience.
The ultimate beauty can be found in a hidden place. The bunch of falling yarns on the face of the unique fabric, of our artisanal collections, is to be cut away as wastes during the process of producing the textile in the factory and they are usually on the backside. We found the most beautiful part of the textile on the side where it is to be gotten rid of. The experiment started to design and guess how the backside of the fabric would perform on the process, and we kept how it came out at the point before it was cut off.
Unique jacquard fabric designed by Misora Nakamori are produced exclusively for her brand by a former Kimono textile producer from Tokyo region, Hachioji-ori, where she was raised up at her childhood, one of the important regions for silk textile in Japan once in an epoch, followed by Nishijin-ori (Kyoto), Kiryu-ori (Gunma) although most producers are forced to leave their business today due to the shift of daily-wear to the western style. Misora Nakamori is partnered up with them to develop her prestigious textile by using the authentic technique to suggest modern style.
Unique footwear are made by an prestigious Italian artisan from Marche region for Misora Nakamori
Distorted spirits behind gives a spice in its elegance. Bold yet sophisticated details brought its depth in the vision that Misora Nakamori suggests.


The incidence of obesity has increased dramatically over the past 20 years and is considered to be an epidemic in the United States. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity now affects more than one-third (39.8%) of adults in the United States. It is also a risk factor for some of the leading causes of preventable death, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and certain cancers. Despite the availability of clinical practice guidelines and effective therapies, they are not utilized by many health care providers. This CME series, Obesity Forum® 2018, aims to provide health care professionals with guidance on the appropriate use of therapies and strategies for delivering individualized care to patients with overweight or obesity via a multidisciplinary team. It will incorporate didactic presentations, the patient perspective, interactive case-based discussions, as well as Game On! to engage learners, facilitating better application of information into clinical practice.
The intended audience for this activity is internal medicine physicians, general/family practice physicians, endocrinologists, cardiologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with overweight and obesity.
