Visible & Invisible Through a Student's Eyes
July 13, 2013 July 13, 2013 JANM Interns	Leave a comment
Growing up in Southern California as a person of Japanese descent, JANM has played a large role in helping me discover my cultural identity. Each exhibit that I have immersed myself in has, in one way or another, done an excellent job of captivating me while still teaching me about my Japanese American heritage. Out of all the exhibits that I have seen, the museum's newest installment Visible & Invisible: A Hapa Japanese American History has been one of the most personally intriguing because it delves into the deep history of mixed-race and hapa individuals within the United States. Being half Japanese and half Caucasian myself, I found Visible & Invisible to be very relatable to my life.
As I walked through the exhibit, a few pieces that really piqued my interest, including an anti-Japanese campaign poster for California Senator James D. Phelan that revealed the prejudice and discrimination Japanese Americans faced more than two decades before World War II. Another intriguing part of the exhibit was an article from Ebony magazine that highlighted the troubles endured by children of American soldiers and Japanese women. Although I can't entirely relate to those children due to the fact that being hapa hasn't been detrimental to me at all, I realize now that life for some mixed race children, both in Japan and in the United States following World War II, was not easy.
Basketball has played a huge role in my life. Up until this past year I had been spending the majority of my weekends either at practices or games for my team, the Venice Lakers. Seeing the different Venice jerseys and pictures of multiple teams, a few of which I recognized, brought back many fond memories of my time playing Japanese American basketball. It was easily my favorite part of the exhibit. JA basketball helps expose children to not only the sport of basketball, but to different aspects of Japanese culture. If you ask a child of Japanese descent if he plays basketball, there's a high likelihood that he or she will say yes, or will know somebody who does.
Another facet of the exhibit that interested me was Virgil Westdale, a half Japanese, half Caucasian soldier forced to switch his name from Nishimura to Westdale so he could join the armed forces. After the United States Army Air Corps found out about Westdale's background they demoted him to private, stripped him of his pilot's license, and sent him to Camp Shelby in Mississippi to join the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. The accompanying video helped me delve deeper into Westdale's personal account of what life was like for him as a mixed-race member of the 442nd and as an American of Japanese heritage during World War II.
Lastly, this exhibit wouldn't feel like a JANM exhibit without a compelling interactive component. I very much enjoyed the interactive aspects of last year's XLAB 2012, however, the black journal experiment in Visible & Invisible has become my favorite, mainly because of the personal touch each participant can add. It's absolutely amazing to see the artistic skills and personal messages from people as far north as Eugene, Oregon, to people who have lived in Boyle Heights since 1944.
Ultimately I would have to say that the main reason that Visible & Invisible initially appealed to me was because I am mixed-race. However, walking through the exhibit I realized that the exhibit wasn't so much about being hapa as it was about the Japanese American experience. Visible & Invisible runs the gamut in terms of Japanese and mixed race culture within the United States by giving an informative, yet enthralling, look at nearly 300 years of history. I highly recommend coming to the JANM to check this exhibit out before it ends on August 25th.

XLAB From a Teenagers Point of View
Sometimes, when I visit museums, the exhibits tend to lack substance and are most of the time, very similar. After walking through and reflecting on the material, I don't feel like I've gained anything. It feels as if something is lacking. Xploration Lab 2012 (XLAB) fulfills every need and want in an exhibit and more. XLAB is an innovative museum experience where participants are fully immersed in each aspect of the display, and through their participation, aid in the creation of future engaging exhibitions for the Japanese American National Museum (JANM).
XLAB's main focus is to educate visitors on the importance of culture and identity, and how sometimes, those two concepts are one in the same. In modern America, the teenage demographic, while seemingly hard to understand, is actually not so much of an enigma as many people are led to believe. They are on the precipice of adulthood and are beginning to stray away from their normal routine to engage in new experiences. XLAB is the perfect exhibit for any teenager because the subject matter is broad enough to entice them, yet specific enough to be relatable. In addition, teenagers are trying to figure out who they are and that is essentially what XLAB is all about. The interactive aspect of this exhibit adds a whole new dimension to the clichéd museum experience and makes it more effective in delivering its message.
As I walked into XLAB, I instantly realized that this exhibit would be unlike any other museum experience I had previously encountered. Since I'm a half Caucasian and half Japanese teenager, the first section that really caught my eye was What Are You? Each person who participated in Kip Fulbeck's project had words to say that I could relate to as a teenager and as a person of multiple cultural backgrounds. Although the rest of the first room was wonderful and educational, the placement of My Voice is a Microphone made the activity somewhat easy to miss for people who weren't paying attention to the layout.
The next room contained a lot more interaction and each section had content that would attract teenagers. One of XLAB's more popular portions is Ways to Tell if You're Japanese American. Even though the list was written from a Southern California Sansei and Yonsei perspective, almost every local Japanese American teenager can relate to at least a few numbers on the list. A common high school student would certainly enjoy two of the last activities: Pidgin and Express Yourself. Pidgin is a dialect that is the unofficial language of Hawaii. XLAB has taken this idea and added modern internet slang such as LOL, FTW, and ROFL, which has made it much more relatable for teenagers, while still infusing the cultural Hawaiian roots into the activity.
Express Yourself is another ingenious portion that focuses on how expression through what people wear is becoming more and more prominent. The section is composed of a large whiteboard where visitors could design their own shirts using dry erase markers, and magnets. Surrounding the white board are completed t-shirts that aid in the expression of ones culture and identity. The interaction involved in this activity helped make it one the most popular activities that XLAB had to offer.
Each and every activity had a successful way of delivering the overall message of culture and identity. People of all ages would enjoy this exhibit because of everything it has to offer. The interaction of each activity sets XLAB apart from the plethora of boring and formulaic exhibits that most teenagers are accustomed to. In essence, this exhibit is not one to miss, and everyone should take some time out of his or her day to experience what XLAB has to offer, before it closes on August 26th.

Volunteer Docent Sergio Holguin

For many people who visit the Museum, the highlight of their visit is often getting a tour from one of our many dedicated volunteer docents. Many of our docents share their own or their family's first-hand experiences from World War II. However, as our older Nisei volunteers have slowed down a bit, the demand for docents is being increasingly met by those whose families were not incarcerated in America's concentration camps.

Although their experiences aren't first-hand, their being there to share the Japanese American experience with our visitors is very important, and in some ways may even help non-JA visitor relate more with the stories.
One of our younger docents is Sergio Holguin, a computer science major at Cal Poly Pomona. Sergio is a third-generation Mexican American. He recently wrote a wonderful article for our Discover Nikkei website that shares how he became interested in Japanese American history, and why he decided to volunteer at the Museum.

WAVY-TV10: Westminster-Canterbury's 1100 Residents and Staff All Test COVID-19 Negative
On June 2-3, 2020, Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay voluntarily accepted an offer by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) to test all residents and staff for the COVID-19 virus. All 1100 residents and staff tested negative. Chris Horne of WAVY speaks with President and CEO Ben Unkle about the challenges the senior living community faced and the protocols it took to attain this positive health outcome.
Virginia Department of Health Point of Prevalence Survey Results Show Westminster-Canterbury COVID-19 Free: More than 1100 Residents and Staff Tested
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (June 8, 2020) -- On June 2-3, 2020, Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay voluntarily accepted an offer by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) to test all residents and staff for the COVID-19 virus. None of the more than 1100 residents and staff that participated in the survey tested positive.
Because Westminster-Canterbury is a large campus of over 1100 residents and staff and has remained COVID-19 free, the VDH was extremely interested in performing this survey with our population. The campus' experience runs contrary to the experience of other senior living communities of similar size.
"While we are extremely thankful that our community is COVID-19 free, we will continue with the protocols that got us to this point, including social distancing and wearing masks," said Westminster-Canterbury President and CEO J. Benjamin Unkle, Jr.

Усамљеност је непријатан емоционални одговор на перципирану изолацију. Описује се као социјални бол, психолошки механизам који мотивише појединце да траже друштвене везе. Често се повезује са нежељеним недостатком повезаности и интимности. Усамљеност се преклапа, а ипак разликује од самоће која је једноставно стање одвојености од других, они се сви не осећају усамљено. Као субјективна емоција, усамљеност се може осетити чак и када су окружени другим људима. Узроци усамљености су различити, укључују друштвене, менталне, емоционалне и факторе околине.

Истраживања су показала да се налази у читавом друштву, укључујући и људе у браку и оне са успешним каријерама. Већина људи у неким тренуцима свог живота доживи усамљеност, док је неки осећају врло често. Као краткорочна емоција, може бити корисна тако што подстиче јачање односа. Штетном се сматра хронична усамљеност, а бројни прегледи и мета–студије закључују да је значајан фактор ризика за лоше исходе менталног и физичког здравља.

Усамљеност је дуго била тема у књижевности, почевши од Епа о Гилгамешу. Академска студија о усамљености била је оскудна све до краја двадесетог века. У 21. веку се све више препознаје као друштвени проблем, при чему и невладине организације и владини актери настоје да је истраже.

Историја
Усамљеност је била тема у књижевности кроз векове, све до Епа о Гилгамешу. Према Фај Бунд Алберти, реч је тек око 1800. године почела да означава негативно стање. Уз неке изузетке, ранији списи и речничке дефиниције усамљености су настојали да га изједначе са самоћом, стањем које се често сматрало позитивним, осим ако није претерано. Од око 1800. године реч усамљеност је почела да добија своју модерну дефиницију као болно субјективно стање што може бити последица економских и друштвених промена насталих током просветитељства. Упркос растућој свести о проблему усамљености, широко распрострањено друштвено препознавање проблема је остало ограничено, а научна проучавања оскудна, све до последње четвртине двадесетог века. Једну од најранијих студија о усамљености објавио је Џозеф Харолд Шелдон 1948. Књига The Lonely Crowd из 1950. је помогла у даљем подизању профила усамљености међу академицима. За ширу јавност, свест је подигла песма Eleanor Rigby Битлса из 1966.

Према Јуџину Гарфилду, Роберт Стјуарт Вајс је скренуо пажњу научника на тему усамљености, својом публикацијом Loneliness: The experience of emotional and social isolation из 1973. године. Пре Вајсовог објављивања, оно мало студија о усамљености које су постојале углавном се фокусирало на старије одрасле особе. Након његовог рада, а посебно након објављивања UCLA скале усамљености 1978. године, научно интересовање за ову тему се проширило и знатно продубило, при чему су десетине хиљада академских студија спроведене како би се истражила усамљеност само међу студентима, а много више се фокусирало на друге подгрупе и на целе популације.

Забринутост шире јавности због усамљености се повећала деценијама од објављивања песме Eleanor Rigby до 2018. године када су владе подржале кампање против усамљености у земљама укључујући Уједињено Краљевство, Данску и Аустралију.

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt. We are on a Virtual Journey for the next 5 days and the we are visiting Ephesus today. The art challenge is to stamp with an embossing folder.
Here's today's page with the making tape on.
And this is the other side. The left hand part will fold over onto the page shown above.
I covered the page in gesso and then used three colours of distress inks to colour the page.
I used Salt Ocean Distress Ink on the piece to be folded over through a map stencil.
At the top of the page I stamped with the embossing folder using water which looks like the page has been bleached. At the bottom I used another embossing folder and black Archival ink.
I removed the masking tape and wrote my journaling. I cut up the quote and stuck it on.
I put the Bible verse on the folded piece.
I love the way you show us how you do your pages, Bernice! It gives me a lot of ideas as I meditate on how to approach it. It's so relaxing and fun!

TOUGH TEST FOR DUMBARTON AT RUGBY PARK
Friday 28th July 2017
DUMBARTON face Kilmarnock in the Betfred Cup final Group Three game at Rugby Park on Saturday 29th July.
Bobby Madden will be the match referee for this weekend's game. Graham Chambers and Simon McLean will assist.
The last time these teams faced each other in this competition was on the 19th August 1995 and Killie won 1-0. At that time Sons were managed by Jim Fallon.
Sons lined up as follows: Ian MacFarlane, Jim Meechan, Jim Marsland, Hugh Burns, Paul Martin, Roland Fabiani, Toby King, Chic Charnley, Martin McGarvey, Sam McGivern, Martin Mooney. Subs: Peter Dennison, Charlie Gibson, Alan Granger.
Dumbarton's overall record against Kilmarnock could be better. In 83 games, we have 25 wins, drawn 20 matches and lost 38. The last victory against Killie came on 13th February 1993 at Boghead Park. A Martin Mooney separated the teams on that day. The Sons team was: Ian MacFarlane, Jim Meechan, Stevie Gow, Martin Melvin, John Boyd, Jim Marsland, Paul Martin, Alan Foster, Mike McAnenay, Robert Docherty, Charlie Gibson. Subs: Martin McGarvey, Martin Mooney
There is plenty of history of Dumbarton and Kilmarnock having players who played for both clubs. From Sons current squad Chris Johnston is a former Rugby Park player and last season's captain Darren Barr also had a spell there.
Other names that will evoke memories include Irvine born and Kille Hall of Famer Ray Montgomerie who made 197 appearances for Dumbarton. Other more recent players include Mark Brown, Mark Canning, Craig Dargo, Willie Gibson, Stevie Murray and Frazer Wright.
In terms of the context for this match, this is how things look:
BetFred Cup Group E
1 Ayr United 3 7 9
2 Kilmarnock 3 3 6
3 Clyde 4 -4 6
4 Annan Athletic 3 -3 2
5 Dumbarton 3 -3 1
Sons have no possibility of qualifying for the second stage of the competition. However, it's all to play for for Killie. The eight group winners and four best runners-up progress to the second round, where they are joined by the four clubs competing in Europe – Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers and St Johnstone.
The seeded teams in the last 16 are the four European clubs and the four group winners with the highest points totals.
The tournament reverts to a traditional knock-out format from the second round onwards, with ties decided by extra time and penalties if the scores are level after 90 minutes.
Christian Nade is suspended for the trip to Ayrshire and he'll serve a one game ban as a result of his red card against Annan Athletic. Grant Gallagher and Stuart Carswell are out and there will be late checks on Tom Walsh and Dougie Hill.
Manager Stevie Aitken added : "Tomorrow will be a huge test for us. Our squad has been streched to the absolute limit in this tournament and it's been a difficult time. Kilmarnock are a Premiership club and that alone means we are up against it. That said, it's a game that I'm looking forward to."

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said the city is planning to remove and replace the first lead pipe next week, according to a release by the mayor's office.
According to Weaver, she is working with water infrastructure experts from the Lansing board of Water & Light to train workers on lead pipe removal. That will take place at a vacant property in Flint owned by the Genesee County Land Bank.
House-by-house lead service line removal and replacement will target high-risk households across the city.
During the training exercise, BWL will "demonstrate it innovate technology for removing and replacing lead pipe with new copper pipes in half the time at half the cost."
According to the mayor's office, Weaver appreciates Gov. Snyder's change of heart on moving quickly to replace lead pipes, but she will not agree to allow Snyder's engineering firm and contractors do the work.

'You're bonkers!' - Residents deliver message to developer as they prepare for new battle to stop 42 homes being built in North Staffordshire
The scheme had previously been rejected by councillors
Residents who attended the meeting
Controversial plans for dozens of new homes in a village are set to be brought back to planners - as residents vow to continue their protests.
Back in August last year Newcastle Borough Council dismissed the scheme for 42 homes on land at Moss Lane in Madeley - in a move which went against advice from local authority planners.
More than 80 objections had also been received over the project which had been given outline permission in 2015.
Prime Developers appealed against the refusal, but failed to get the decision overturned by the planning inspectorate.
The layout of the north-western corner of the site was a particular concern for the inspector, and was described as "cramped and incongruous design harmful to the character and appearance of the area". While proposed properties in that corner were described as appearing to be "unsympathetically shoehorned into the corner of the site".
Now the layout of the development has been redesigned and a fresh application has been submitted to the council following a series of discussions.
Residents say the Moss Lane site is regularly flooded
In response around 30 residents attended a public meeting at the Madeley Centre to learn more about the new plans. They were also encouraged to have their say on the latest proposals.
Ben Weatherley, from planning agent Knights, said: "We have brought along a number of comment forms and we promise we will take them on board, just as we have changed the scheme already in response to feedback.
"We are open minded to changing the scheme further in response to your comments - that's why we are here. It is a proper community engagement.
Council urged to consider planting trees to tackle climate emergency
"This application is for full planning permission because the outline (permission) has fallen away. The proposal will (include) 25% affordable housing and amendments aimed at addressing reasons for refusal in the previous decision and concerns raised by the local community."
Barry Tang, of architects Tang and Associates, explained that two storey homes previously earmarked for the northern edge of the site closest to existing single storey properties had been swapped for bungalows. The roofs of the planned new bungalows had also been repositioned, he added, and proposed drainage measures were also revealed.
"The bungalows are a lot lower than the (existing) houses along there," Mr Tang said. "The tallest properties are furthest away from the bungalows at the top."
But residents continued to voice concerns about the site, including flooding problems.
Lionel Moreton said: "When this was controversially passed years ago all the big firms around the Potteries filed in to look at it. One even left a £60,000 deposit but they all went away and said it wasn't a viable place.
Flats plan for town centre office building
"Can you explain to us why you think you can do it when nobody else around here believes in it? All the people in Madeley think you are bonkers.
"The only thing you can call that land is Rheumatism Road. I have looked after that field for the past decade, when we looked after cows, and the amount of water on that field - you couldn't shift it."
Graham Porter said: "It's worse than the original (plan)."
Another resident added: "We don't want it because the schools are full to capacity and the doctors are full."
But Russell Ridgway said: "With the money you are going to spend on a full application you have got to be relatively confident what you have got there is going to happen. It's going to happen and everybody has to work to make sure it's right for the people here and right for the village."

Smaller Reporting Companies vs. Emerging Growth Companies
by Laura Anthony, Esq. on August 23, 2016 in Emerging Growth Company (EGC), Smaller Reporting Company
The topic of reporting requirements and distinctions between various categories of reporting companies has been prevalent over the past couple of years as regulators and industry insiders examine changes to the reporting requirements for all companies, and qualifications for the various categories of scaled disclosure requirements. As I've written about these developments, I have noticed inconsistencies in the treatment of smaller reporting companies and emerging growth companies in ways that are likely the result of poor drafting or unintended consequences. This blog summarizes two of these inconsistencies.
As a reminder, a smaller reporting company is currently defined as a company that has a public float of less than $75 million in common equity as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or if a public float of zero, has less than $50 million in annual revenues as of its most recently completed fiscal year-end. I note that on June 27, 2016, the SEC issued a proposed rule to change that definition. The SEC proposes to amend the definition of a smaller reporting company to include companies with less than a $250 million public float as compared to the $75 million threshold in the current definition. In addition, if a company does not have an ascertainable public float, a smaller reporting company would be one with less than $100 million in annual revenues, as compared to the current threshold of less than $50 million. Once considered a smaller reporting company, a company would maintain that status unless its float drops below $200 million or its annual revenues drop below $80 million.
An emerging growth company ("EGC") is defined as a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year that first sells equity in a registered offering after December 8, 2011. An EGC loses its EGC status on the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which it exceeds $1 billion in revenues; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth year after its IPO (for example, if the issuer has a December 31 fiscal year-end and sells equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement on May 2, 2016, it will cease to be an EGC on December 31, 2021); (iii) the date on which it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period; or (iv) the date it becomes a large accelerated filer (i.e., its non-affiliated public float is valued at $700 million or more). EGC status is not available to asset-backed securities issuers ("ABS") reporting under Regulation AB or investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. However, business development companies (BDC's) do qualify.
The Fast Act
The FAST Act, passed into law on December 4, 2015, amended Form S-1 to allow for forward incorporation by reference by smaller reporting companies. A smaller reporting company may now incorporate any documents filed by the company, following the effective date of a registration statement, into such effective registration statement. In what was probably unintended in the drafting, the FAST Act changes only include smaller reporting companies and not emerging growth companies. Generally, forward incorporation by reference requires that the company be S-3 eligible. The FAST Act change has created an anomaly whereby a smaller reporting company can utilize forward incorporation by reference but an EGC could not unless it was also S-3 eligible.
Testing the Waters in an IPO
Test-the-waters communications involve solicitations of indications of interest for an offering prior to the effectiveness of a registration statement. Where Regulation A freely allows, and even encourages, test-the-waters communications, the standard IPO process using a Form S-1 still strictly limits pre-effectiveness solicitations of interest and offering communications overall. Section 5(a) of the Securities Act prohibits the sale of securities before the registration statement is deemed effective. Communications made by the company during an IPO process, depending on the mode and content, result in violations of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). Communication-related violations of Section 5 during the pre-filing and pre-effectiveness periods are often referred to as "gun jumping."
In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act") was enacted, which, in part, established a new process and disclosures for public offerings by EGC's.
Section 105(c) of the JOBS Act provides an EGC with the flexibility to "test the waters" by engaging in oral or written communications with qualified institutional buyers ("QIB's") and institutional accredited investors ("IAI's") in order to gauge their interest in a proposed offering, whether prior to (irrespective of the 30-day safe harbor) or following the first filing of any registration statement, subject to the requirement that no security may be sold unless accompanied or preceded by a Section 10(a) prospectus. Generally, in order to be considered a QIB, you must own and invest $100 million of securities, and in order to be considered an IAI, you must have a minimum of $5 million in assets. For a more complete discussion on the test-the-waters provisions available to EGC's, see my blog HERE.
Section 105(c) is not available for smaller reporting companies. Where a smaller reporting company is not also an EGC, it cannot engage in Section 105(c) test-the-waters communications made available under the JOBS Act. This is clearly a legislative miss. The JOBS Act is intended to create capital-raising opportunities for small companies. Although I understand that the thought was to assist EGC's in the IPO process, the fact is that many smaller reporting companies engage in a series of follow-on public offerings before reaching a size and level of maturity where they no longer need the assistance of rules and laws designed to encourage capital in smaller companies. Ironically, by that point, these companies will be able to engage in additional communications only available to eligible larger issues, such as free writing prospectus and Rule 163 communications.
Refresher on Regulation S-K and S-X Differences for Smaller Reporting Companies and EGC's
The scaled-down disclosures for smaller reporting companies and emerging growth companies include, among other items: (i) only 3 years of business description as opposed to 5; (ii) 2 years of financial statements as opposed to 3; (iii) elimination of certain line item disclosures such as certain graphs and selected financial data; and (iv) relief from the 404(b) auditor attestation requirements. However, although similar, there are differences between the scaled disclosure requirements for an emerging growth company vs. a smaller reporting company.

Five observations from my time at YouTube
celebrating the 44th anniversary of the music that changed my life. The birth of hip-hop was a fusion of expression and technical innovation that forever changed our culture and Google wanted to celebrate the moment when it all came together.
I had one condition on participating: that the project be authentic and not some tech company's interpretation of a cultural revolution. They couldn't agree more and the collaboration led to an amazing interactive experience that used technology and Google's reach to celebrate the birth of hip-hop. It showed me that Google and YouTube know how to listen to feedback (in this case, mine), and are willing to work hard to get things right.
I joined Google and YouTube because I saw a great opportunity to bring tech and music together and do right by artists, the industry and fans. Eight months in, I'm more optimistic than ever that YouTube can do that, but the truth is there's still a disconnect between YouTube and the rest of the industry.
So, how did YouTube get here? What explains the current state of YouTube's relationship with the industry? I think there are five factors that explain the current situation.
Late to the party. I get why some in the music industry would be skeptical of their relationship with YouTube. They were late to the subscriptions party and YouTube's focus for many years was largely just on ads. While they have been at subscriptions for a year, and the numbers are very encouraging, YouTube must prove its credibility when it comes to its ability to shepherd their funnel of users into paid subscriptions.
But since I've been here, I've been incredibly encouraged by what I've seen. The team is serious about subscriptions. And now with YouTube Music and Google Play Music merging, I'm confident they will build an even better subscription service. And with more deals like the one YouTube recently signed with Warner, they're going to be able to take it global.
Twin-engine growth. The success of streaming subscriptions is one reason why I'm so optimistic about the future. Subscription revenue is still in its infancy, yet it's already reaping billions for the music industry. It's not just some business model on a whiteboard; it's a real and rapidly growing source of cash for labels and artists today.
Some think ads are the death of the music industry. Ads are not death. Death is death. Irrelevance is death. Fans not being exposed to new music is death. My time at YouTube has me convinced that advertising is another powerful source of growth for the industry. YouTube's ads hustle has already brought over a billion dollars in 12 months to the industry and it's growing rapidly. Combined with YouTube's growing subscription service, they've now got two engines taking the industry to a more lucrative place than it's ever been before.
But that all depends on whether or not the industry chokes off these new sources of growth. I'm old enough to remember what the industry was saying about iTunes and Spotify before they started contributing billions to its bottom line. The growth that the industry is seeing today proves that ads and subscription thrive side by side.
Let's talk dead presidents. It is important that labels, publishers and YouTube come together to make transparency a reality, as I strongly believe it will help everyone in the industry move the business forward.
Artists and songwriters need to truly understand what they're making on different platforms. It's not enough for YouTube to say that it's paid over $1 billion to the industry from ads. We (the labels, publishers and YouTube) must shine a light on artist royalties, show them how much they make from ads compared to subscriptions by geography and see how high their revenue is in the U.S. and compared to other services.
For instance, critics complain YouTube isn't paying enough money for ad-supported streams compared to Spotify or Pandora. I was one of them! Then I got here and looked at the numbers myself. At over $3 per thousand streams in the U.S., YouTube is paying out more than other ad supported services.
Why doesn't anyone know that? Because YouTube is global and the numbers get diluted by lower contributions in developing markets. But they're working the ads hustle like crazy so payouts can ramp up quickly all around the world. If they can do that, this industry could double in the next few years.
Fortune AND fame. Every day for the last 30 years, I've woken up with the same thought: maybe today's the day I'm going to meet an artist that's going to change pop culture. I love watching when an artist goes from obscurity to celebrity. That's my drug.
Every artist I've ever worked with wanted some fame and fortune. YouTube will deliver fortune … but I think they need to be just as focused on bringing the fame. YouTube is already a great force for breaking new artists; in fact, the majority of music watchtime on YouTube is coming from its recommendations, rather than people searching for what they want to listen to. But YouTube needs to find new ways to promote and break artists and their albums so they have a chance to shine on the platform and connect with their fans. This is one of my biggest priorities and you'll see more coming soon.
Without safe harbor, we'd all be lost at sea. I've spent my professional life fighting for artists to get what they deserve. I've worked with the RIAA and the IFPI to fight piracy since back when the main concern was bootlegged tapes. Safe harbor has become an obsession -- with many complaining it's the cause of all of industry's woes. I'm not parroting the company line when I say the focus on copyright safe harbors is a distraction. Safe harbor helps open platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Soundcloud and Instagram give a voice to millions of artists around the world, making the industry more competitive and vibrant.
Every artist should be concerned if their music shows up online without credit or payment. But YouTube's team has built a system in Content ID that helps rightsholders earn money no matter who uploads their music. As of 2016, 99.5 percent of music claims on YouTube are matched automatically by Content ID and are either removed or monetized.
Before Content ID, when a fan shared a song with a friend through a mix tape, it was called piracy. Now it's generated over $2 billion for content owners and goes far beyond what the safe harbor provision requires.
One of the first jobs I ever had in the music business was working as a road manager for Run DMC. Doing that taught me a lesson that has formed the core of what I've tried to do my entire career: set things up well so that the artists and fans can come together and make magic happen. I've spent my entire life helping artists achieve fame and fortune. I wouldn't have joined YouTube if I didn't believe the company was committed to delivering more revenue to artists, labels, publishers and composers -- they just have to set them up well and get out of their way.
With love and respect,
Lyor Cohen

Earlier this year, I was asked by Google (because they know I am pre "Sucker M.C.") to work on a Doodle celebrating the 44th anniversary of the music that changed my life. The birth of hip-hop was a fusion of expression and technical innovation that forever changed our culture and Google wanted to celebrate the moment when it all came together.

Alleging that e-commerce firms are openly flouting norms laid down under FDI, traders' body CAIT today demanded formation of a Regulatory Authority for India's online retail market.
In a letter to Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said: "e-commerce companies are openly flouting norms laid down under FDI in e-commerce policy of the government and in absence of any specified rules & regulations are grossly involved in deep discounts, predatory pricing, anti-competitive practices, tax avoidance etc".
A joint statement by CAIT national president B C Bhartia and its secretary general Praveen Khandelwal said that although e-commerce has introduced significant choices for Indian consumers and customers, it has also given rise to many disputes by the consumers purchasing the products from e-commerce websites.
"Since it is a promising business market in the future due to steep rise in internet connections and mobile connectivity, formation of a Regulatory Authority and specified Rules & Regulations are all the more required before the situation becomes more worsen. Already, the e commerce companies have vitiated the e commerce market to a great extent," they said.
The traders' body further alleged that e-commerce websites are "not following Indian laws at all and are adopting unfair means to grow their business which is creating an uneven level playing field much to the disadvantage of brick & mortar shops resulting into diversion of their customers to e commerce market".
Khandelwal said that in response to a tweet made to DIPP on contravention of FDI guidelines by e-commerce companies, the DIPP on May 10 tweeted that it is responsible for formulation of FDI policy and violation of FDI policy is a part of FEMA which is administered by Reserve Bank and Enforcement Directorate is the enforcement agency.
"Taking advantage of such provisions and loopholes, the e-commerce players have made e-commerce market a free play ground playing the game with their self set rules. Therefore, in order to create a structured and healthy e-commerce market in the country, formation of a Regulatory Authority and specified Rules & Regulations must be made by the Government-argued both leaders," Khandelwal said.

3D Web: Places instead of Pages.
GeoSim's 3D city models provide smooth, interactive navigation while moving from place to place and from large-scale to small-scale. The visualization platform is designed and built to let the user walk or fly from any point to any other point; to choose an aerial view and then fly directly down to the street level and walk into retail spaces to browse or shop. An instant jump to any address is just as easy.
City governance requires information which is both current and reliable. GeoSim's 3D city models are designed to receive and visualize city data, including sensor data — from traffic to energy consumption — all in real time. When incoming data are visualized and dynamically displayed alongside city geospatial information, the superior representation of information increases comprehension, enabling fresh insights and better responses.
The Web has begun its inevitable transition from 2D to 3D. Almost all websites are still 2D, which means that this conversion will have a very large market impact.
Gaming-as-a-service (GAAS) companies are accelerating the rate of change, rendering 3D models in the cloud, enabling high quality 3D motion graphics anywhere, on any device.
GeoSim's 3D city models are precisely the kind of deep content that will fuel this revolution, particularly for social and retail applications — places, instead of pages.
GeoSim's ability to replicate 3D interiors of retail spaces and inventories, seamlessly connecting them to e-commerce, creates a much richer shopping experience.

A UFC champion's title is not enough. He wants to fight a boxer next
Emmanuel Morgan, The New York Times
Published: 08 Nov 2021 08:47 PM BdST Updated: 08 Nov 2021 08:47 PM BdST
Kamaru Usman (L). Photo taken from the fighter's Twitter account.
Kamaru Usman scrunched his face in a playful manner and tilted his head. He had just defended his Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title in a five-round brawl with Colby Covington at Madison Square Garden at UFC 268.
The belt for the 170-pound class rested next to him on a table, the leather-encased gold plate shining as brightly as Usman's metallic suit lapels and his diamond necklace. Earlier in the week, Usman solicited to fight Saúl Álvarez, the best pound-for-pound boxer who — also Saturday night — delivered a masterful 11th-round knockout of Caleb Plant in Las Vegas. Usman's boss, UFC President Dana White, downplayed the feasibility of a crossover megafight to reporters minutes before Usman's news conference. Usman disagreed.
"Dana doesn't know that," Usman said. "I want something that scares me."
The prospect of matching Usman with the best boxer on the planet may not frighten Usman, but White and UFC officials are right to be hesitant about the hypothetical bonanza. In this era of blurred lines within combat sports, organisers have forfeited competitive logic to appease a new crop of paying fans. With Usman and Álvarez, the reward may not generate the success of similar recent experiments.
Álvarez commands an audience, and he produced an unquestioned result, knocking out Plant precisely to unify the 168-pound belts. Most of the audience at the MGM Grand Garden Arena supported Álvarez, a Mexican who goes by the nickname Canelo, and Showtime built the event solely around him. People from across the country bought the pay-per-view broadcast, too, including White. A picture circulated on Twitter of him watching it on a monitor octagon-side as Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili fought for the 115-pound title in the UFC's co-main event. White later said he had bet $100,000 on Álvarez to win by knockout.
"I watched the Canelo fight tonight," White said when asked if Usman should box Álvarez. "He don't want to fight Canelo. Come on, man, let's stop this."
This isn't the first time White has dealt with crossover fights. He allowed brash Irish UFC fighter Conor McGregor to box Floyd Mayweather in 2017, a spectacle that profited McGregor at least $30 million. That sum is rare for mixed martial arts competitions, and while Usman most likely would receive far less for about with Álvarez, the amount would still be a pay raise from what he gets facing opponents in mixed martial arts.
Two brothers with popular YouTube channels, Jake Paul and Logan Paul, have led a shift in combat sports in the past year. Logan Paul fought Mayweather this summer in an exhibition while Jake Paul has beaten relatively safe opponents: a retired basketball player and two MMA fighters past their primes. The specifics seemed outrageous to pure boxing fans, but the brothers' large social media following allowed the fights to be a success.
Usman does not have stardom like the Pauls or McGregor, and he has said he does not want to pursue it. But more eyes on his fights would lead to more dollars. When asked if he would box Álvarez for charity, he laughed.
"Of course we want the money," Usman said.
The challenge of facing Álvarez also intrigues Usman because he has beaten most of the top contenders in his division.
"Don't get me wrong, he is a master at what he does," Usman said. "I love it and I respect it, which is why I want to challenge myself."
Usman is highly respected in mixed martial arts circles. After he beat Covington, White and others spoke about how he might end up comparing to the greatest welterweights of all time, like Georges St-Pierre.
Still, it is clear that he does not have the same fan following as Álvarez. Usman's support at Madison Square Garden was mixed, and the crowd at times chanted for Covington, a fervent supporter of the former president, Donald Trump, who has made conservative politics a central part of his persona.
The cheers for Covington grew in the later stages of the bout, as he came back from two knockdowns in Round 2 and challenged Usman down the stretch.
Had Usman not gotten the knockdowns, the judges easily could have scored the decision differently, leaving room for debate and an easy avenue for a third fight between Usman and Covington.
And beyond Usman-Covington, other fighters also commanded attention on the UFC 268 card. Lightweights Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler offered the best clash of the night, a high-paced showdown that Gaethje won, though both men left bloody and needed hospital examinations. Namajunas also defended her strawweight championship against Zhang in a split decision.
If Usman were to box Álvarez, the differences between mixed martial arts and boxing, including the sports themselves and the pay gap between the UFC and the top tier of boxing, would complicate promoting the event.
Álvarez has said he is not interested in fighting Usman, and fan desire has not reached the point yet to say otherwise. If it happens, though, Usman said he would be ready to compete in Álvarez's preferred discipline. Usman would fight him in mixed martial arts, too, he said, though he doubts Álvarez would attempt that.
"We're the ones that are willing to go over there and take that risk," Usman said. "They wouldn't dare come over here and take that risk."

Well the worlds have been over for a few weeks now and I'm at home looking back on how it went. I finished up with two golds from the track and two bronze medals from the road events.
Once again I found myself at the mercy of the Spanish on the road. I had spent a lot of time and effort this year on improving my timetrialing, but on the day it just didn't seem to happen, maybe I'm just no good at going up hill !!
Not everthing went the way I wanted but the back-up team were great. So a big Thank You to Gary Brickley(my coach) and the rest, that's Dave, Chris, Spike, Alex, Natalie and Amy. Time should never be a consideration, only the colour of the medals, but missing the record in the pursuit was particually disappointing as i felt that I was in the right sort of form to take some time off it.
Unfortunately I was unable to catch up with my good friend Jaco from South Africa as he had had a nasty tumble just before and suffered some pretty bad injuries. I did get to find his website though. A very interesting read, you can see it at www.jaconel.co.za Get well soon mate.

Dead Don't Die review: Jim Jarmusch's special something gets lost in the mix in this nod to zombie genre
Bill Murray and Adam Driver in Jim Jarmusch's Dead Don't Die
Tanya Sweeney
July 11 2019 12:45 PM
Jim Jarmusch may have a singular cinematic style – think brooding, blackly humorous and slouchy of pace – but his CV runs the entire gamut. He's done Westerns (Dead Man), mob movies (Ghost Dog) and vampire films (Only Lovers Left Alive).
https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/movies/movie-reviews/dead-dont-die-review-jim-jarmuschs-special-something-gets-lost-in-the-mix-in-this-nod-to-zombie-genre-38302937.html
https://www.independent.ie/incoming/article38302960.ece/21f9c/AUTOCROP/h342/dead%20dont%20die.jpg
For his latest opus, he's taking genre-bending to entirely new heights. Take a soupcon of Americana mumblecore, wed it to a cop drama, chuck in some zombies, bone-dry comedy, kung-fu and season with a cheeky sprinkling of postmodernism. Haphazard enough, though the entire stew works.
In any case, we start off in sleepy Centerville, on the night shift for cops Cliff (Bill Murray) and Ronnie (Adam Driver). After admonishing Hermit Bob (Tim Waits) for breaking the peace, the only thing left to worry about is the corpse of the local soak Mallory (Carol Kane), currently lying in situ in the cophouse's cells.
It's the night shift, but the sun still blazes high in the sky, and for good reason. Polar fracking has popped the earth off its axis, enabling all sorts of weird goings on. More pertinently, it permits the dead to live again, or at least be undead again, as zombies.
Some, like Iggy Pop's grey-skinned zombie, are hungry for coffee and waitress guts; others crave WiFi, fashion, Xanax and tennis – the things, essentially, that they loved when they were alive.
As the body count climbs, Cliff and Ronnie and Cliff's deputy Mindy (Chloe Sevigny) have a job on their hands keeping the town under control. Enter Zelda (Tilda Swinton), a Scottish funeral home director wielding a samurai sword with the assured insouciance of a professional. And, from the comic book nerd Bobby Wiggins (Caleb Landry Jones) and racist farmer (Steve Buscemi) to the local waitress Fern (Ezster Balint) who has never heard of The Great Gatsby, this smalltown is suitably bursting with colourful characters galore.
There's a hefty helping of political polemic in the mix, too: Jarmusch is evidently not afraid to point fingers over fracking, while Buscemi's odious Farmer Bob proudly sports a 'Make America White Again' cap and has a dog named Rumsfeld. One local, upon getting mauled by a pack of zombies, shrieks 'refugees!' before the death rattle takes hold. All very zesty and contemporary, but in a film that's stylistically scattergun to begin with, the political winks mean that there's way too much going on.
Jarmusch sets the film up with a nimble and droll script, not to mention the dream comic pairing of Murray and Driver. And, even without a cast pockmarked with stars, a stylistic mash-up of Three Billboards and Dawn Of The Dead is a rather fine starting point for any project.
Alas, things start to rip at the seams of Dead Don't Die midway through. Jarmusch's nod to the zombie genre is so faithful as to be verging on boilerplate. There's the grizzled hand reaching out of the gravel; the hoardes of fright-wigged and drooling cadavers shuffling into the night.
Things eventually take a turn so wacky that a strong suspension of disbelief is required. Finally, Jarmusch heads off into self-referencing, meta territory when Cliff and Ronnie refer to the end of the script (Ronnie received the end of the script, Cliff didn't, leading him to deem Jarmusch a d***). It's a break of the fourth wall that's certainly bold, but not all that clever.
Dead Don't Die's strongest point, arguably, is its ensemble cast: a who's who of Jarmusch alumni. Murray has been a faithful collaborator of the director's for years; Driver a relative newcomer to his stable of muses. Swinton is mesmerizing and warmly funny as Zelda, the death adjacent weirdo. Sevigny's sexy froideur rarely translates on screen, but here her descent into a shrieking emotional wreck results in a full-body cringe for the viewer. Danny Glover, Carol Kane, Tom Waits, RZA, Iggy Pop, Rosie Perez, Selena Gomez – no-one can ever say that Jarmusch can't pull together an intriguing cast.
The director has long been known for a sort of lo-fi, off-kilter whimsy that made films like Broken Flowers and Paterson such cinematic beauties. For reasons best known to himself, Jarmusch has decided to pay homage (or play about with) genre cinema, just as he did the vampire genre in 2013's Only Lovers Left Alive.
Yet in Dead Don't Die, the nods to more conventional cinema tropes mean that Jarmusch's special something gets lost in the mix. Where his previous outing Paterson (2016) was low on plot but cinematically rich on the lips, Dead Don't Die is a film attempting subversion, yet suffering from identity crisis. Jarmusch says it best when he says nothing at all. The sooner he returns to this realisation, the better.

The History of Christianity: From the Disciples to the Dawn of the Reformation
How did a persecuted sect in 1st-century Palestine rise to command such a massive influence on human culture, imagination, and spirit? How did Christianity weather the first critical stages of its historical development and attain its fundamental and enduring cultural role?
At least listen to it if you are going to review
By Graham & Rachel Hall on 17-04-17
Series: The Great Courses: Christianity
Luke Timothy Johnson, the best-selling author of The Real Jesus, offers a fresh and historically grounded assessment of the life and letters of Christianity's "apostle to the Gentiles" in this 12-lecture series. "One of the most fascinating, important, and controversial figures in the religious history of the West, Paul the Apostle continues to find champions and detractors, sometimes in surprising places," says Professor Johnson. Coming to grips with Christianity means coming to grips with Paul.
A Great Introduction to Apostle Paul
For most of the last 2,000 years, questions about the figure of Jesus have begun with the Gospels, but the Gospels themselves raise puzzling questions about both Jesus and the religious movement within which these narratives were produced. Is it possible to shape a single picture from the various accounts of his life given us by these Gospels?

The New Testament: A Very Short Introduction
By: Luke Timothy Johnson
Narrated by: Robert Feifar
As ancient literature and a cornerstone of the Christian faith, the New Testament has exerted a powerful religious and cultural impact. But how much do we really know about its origins? Who were the people who actually wrote the sacred texts that became part of the Christian Bible? The New Testament: A Very Short Introduction authoritatively addresses these questions, offering a fresh perspective on the underpinnings of this profoundly influential collection of writings.

These 24 inspiring lectures introduce you to the sages who, as a group, represent the "missing page" of the history of philosophy. Although their names are sometimes familiar to us, as in the case of Cicero and Plutarch, their philosophy is not. Studying these thinkers offers some surprising ways to think about philosophy. This course offers ample opportunity to hear, in their own words, the philosophers' prescriptions for healthier living.

Early Christianity: The Experience of the Divine
After 2,000 years, Christianity is the world's largest religion and continues to prosper and grow. What accounts for its continued popularity?

He takes you on a journey to find the "kernel" of Christianity's appeal: religious experience. You'll travel back to Christianity's origins during its first 300 years to identify the elements that first made it appealing and which still hold the secret to its ability to attract new followers.

Q: Dynamic Input Fields from PHP Array I've been trying to wrap my head around this for the last week or so, but really need some guidance.
I need to create dynamic form fields from PHP arrays. The PHP arrays vary in size, but they are always very simple arrays.
I'd like to be able to create the # of input fields by the number of items in the array, and populate the input fields with the array data.
The array data will look like the below (2 examples).
Array
(
    [0] => 19001.WAV

    [1] => 19307.WAV

    [2] => 19002.WAV

    [3] => 19308.WAV

    [4] => 19003.WAV

    [5] => 19009.WAV

    [6] => 19004.WAV

    [7] => 19310.WAV

    [8] => 19005.WAV

    [9] => 19311.WAV

    [10] => 19009.WAV

    [11] => 19307.WAV

    [12] => 19010.WAV

    [13] => 19308.WAV

    [14] => 19013.WAV

    [15] => 19309.WAV

    [16] => 19015.WAV

)

Or:
Array
(
    [0] => 101.WAV

    [1] => 101.WAV

    [2] => 102.WAV

    [3] => 102.WAV

    [4] => 103.WAV

    [5] => 103.WAV

)

I just don't even really know what direction to go.

A: If you just want to render values use foreach:
<?php
   foreach($array as $item) {
      echo '<input type="text" name="data[]" value="'. $item .'">'
   }
?>

A: Please refer foreach
foreach ($arr as $value) {
    echo "<input name='data[]' value='$value'> <br />";
}

A: Not a PHP programmer but I think it should go along the lines of:
<?php
reset($Array);
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
    echo "<input name='data[]' id='$key' value='$value'></input>\n";
}
?>

Hope it helps.

MTV UK's launching five podcast series tied to popular shows
January 27, 2020 by Lucinda Southern
MTV UK is launching this year five podcast series that will be tied to its most popular shows.
The first of the new series, "Celebrity Ex on the Beach: The Podcast" debuted this week. Each of the five podcast series will be conversational in tone, have at least 12 episodes and will cover themes from the TV shows. The podcasts will be distributed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn and Global Player. MTV is partnering with Dax, Global's digital audio ad exchange for podcast distribution and programmatic ad sales. MTV UK is the first ViacomCBS International outlet to receive the podcast treatment because it has the largest social media footprint.
"This is in response to the rapid digitization of our fan base across all our brands," said Dan Fahy, vice president of commercial and content distribution at ViacomCBS. "MTV [especially] has an audience that is rapidly digitizing and heavily reliant on social platforms for their content."
In December MTV UK attracted 70 million monthly video views on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, according to Tubular Labs data. Show franchises are also popular. Reality show "Geordie Shore" has 1.8 million followers and scored 4.4 million video views in December on Instagram, according to Tubular Labs.
The demographic breakdown for MTV's audiences is primarily people ages 16 to 35; and MTV has identified particular subsegments of that audience. When it comes to "the 16-24-year-old demographic — they have a real craving for authenticity," Fahy said. "Podcasts have that personal appeal."
For the past year ViacomCBS International executives have been thinking in earnest about launching podcasts. ViacomCBS International is also working out how to tie podcasts to its other brands, such as Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and Channel 5, Fahy said.
In addition to the popularity of the daily news show format, one of the fastest growing trends in podcasts is the creation of TV companion podcasts, said Sam Shetabi, Acast's content director for the U.K. and Ireland. Podcast network Acast hosts the official podcast for the reality TV show "Made in Chelsea."
"Companion shows are proving so popular because they supplement the classic water cooler discussions that every form of media wants to muscle in on, by letting fans further immerse themselves," Shetabi said. "Many [podcasts] have audience interaction built in, which again makes them feel more like a conversation than a broadcast."
MTV UK is using Dax for podcast distribution and programmatic ad sales means that MTV can monetize the series by selling brand partnerships and host-read ads as well as spot ads within the shows.
The links between TV and podcast series run both ways. Podcasts are a cheaper and quicker way of building audiences and testing narratives for shows. The popular Wondery true-crime podcast series "Dirty John," which attracted 10 million downloads in the first six weeks, was turned into a video series that was released on Netflix in 2019.
