Hasselbach ist ein Stadtteil von Waldkappel im nordhessischen Werra-Meißner-Kreis.

Geografische Lage
Hasselbach liegt an der Wehre, einem linksseitigen Zufluss der Werra. Nachbargemeinden sind Küchen, ein Stadtteil von Hessisch Lichtenau im Nordwesten und Harmuthsachsen, ein Stadtteil von Waldkappel im Südosten. Nordöstlich führt die Bundesstraße 7 vorbei, die sich bis zum Bau der Umgehungsstraße in den 1970er Jahren durch den Ort zwängte. Parallel dazu verlief die ehemalige Lossetalbahn. Der Herkules-Wartburg-Radweg führt auf seiner Strecke von Kassel nach Eisenach durch das Dorf. Hasselbach liegt innerhalb des Geo-Naturparks Frau-Holle-Land.

Geschichte

Ortsgeschichte
Die älteste bekannte schriftliche Erwähnung von Hasselbach erfolgte unter dem Namen in villa Haselbach im Jahr 1273 in einer Urkunde der Deutschordensballei Hessen. Die Grafen von Bielstein schenkten dort dem Deutschordenshaus in Reichenbach Zinsgüter, also Einkünfte und Rechte in Haselbach; der Ort war im Besitz der Herren von Cappel. Als weiterer Grundherr tritt in diesem Gebiet das Kloster Germerode in Erscheinung. Nach dessen Säkularisation werden die Herren von Hundelshausen zum bedeutendsten Grundherren, das von Cappelsche Lehen war bereits 1391 an den Landesherren heimgefallen.

Der Ort lag im Mittelalter verkehrsgünstig an der Lange-Hessen-Straße. Innerhalb der Gemarkung liegen vier mittelalterliche Wüstungen: Geisenrod, Steinbach, Ichendorf und Weissner.

Hasselbach gehörte bis 1821 zum hessischen Amt Lichtenau und danach zum Landkreis Witzenhausen. Während der französischen Besetzung gehörte der Ort zum Kanton Bischhausen im Königreich Westphalen (1807–1813).

Hessische Gebietsreform (1970–1977)

Im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Hessen wurde die bis dahin selbständige Gemeinde Hasselbach zum 31. Dezember 1971 auf freiwilliger Basis in die Stadt Waldkappel eingemeindet. Für Hasselbach, sowie für alle ehemals eigenständigen Gemeinden von Waldkappel und die Kerngemeinde wurde jeweils ein Ortsbezirk mit Ortsbeirat und Ortsvorsteher nach der Hessischen Gemeindeordnung gebildet.

Einwohnerentwicklung

Sehenswürdigkeiten

 Hasselbach besitzt zahlreiche denkmalgeschützte Fachwerkhäuser, die deutliche Akzente innerhalb des Ortsbildes setzen. Das größte zusammengehörige Architekturenensemble ist der ehemalige Gutshof der Herren von Hundelshausen im nördlichen Teil des Dorfes. Es besteht aus einem Herrenhaus aus der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts und Wirtschaftsgebäuden, die im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert erbaut wurden. Weitere zusammenhängende Gebäudegruppen befinden sich im Bereich der Pfarrkirche, deren dicht gestaffelte Bebauung durch eine kleinmaßstäbliche Architektur geprägt wird.

 Die evangelische Kirche aus dem Jahr 1797 besitzt einen mittelalterlichen Kern in massivem Mauerwerk, mit steinsichtig verputzten Bruchsteinen. Auf dem Langhaus sitzt ein vierseitiger verschieferter Dachreiter auf, mit einer Wetterfahne, die die Jahreszahlen 1797 und 1992 trägt. Jenseits davon ist der rechteckige Chor deutlich abgesetzt. Der schlichte Innenraum wird von einer Flachdecke geschlossen, an der Nord- und Westwand erstreckt sich eine Empore mit kassettierter Brüstung. Als bemerkenswert angesehen wird die Holzkanzel mit ihrem reichen Beschlagwerk, die in das Jahr 1668 datiert wird, sowie die Orgel mit barockem Prospekt, die, so wird vermutet, von J. W. Schmerbach d. Ä. erbaut wurde. Wegen ihrer künstlerischen, geschichtlichen und baulichen Bedeutung ist die Kirche ein geschütztes Kulturdenkmal.

Spanish insurance giant Mapfre has a broad vision of its role, which extends well beyond its 29.5 million customers. Chairman and CEO Antonio Huertas spoke to Vanessa Macdonald about its challenges and opportunities.
Compliance costs mean insurance companies are under even more pressure, in an industry already known for its high cost base. Is the solution more automation?
The answer is yes, absolutely. We are working hard on this. The industry has many opportunities to simplify projects and processes and to forge a more direct relationship with customers and intermediaries.
Internally, it could be an issue as many times people feel that if you automate something, you would lose employees. But this is not true.
In Mapfre, we can automate many processes and better allocate internal resources to do different things. We have the capabilities to use these well-trained people to add more value and to usedifferent skills.
It is true that we have some gaps as we need people with digital skills. At Mapfre, we are using a combination of more automation with an improvement of our training processes.
Your annual report refers several times to the 'digital future'. What is your vision?
Our current strategic plan is based on a digital world as we believe that this is what will drive the company forward. This covers the approach to the customer but also using technology to reduce expenses internally and improve processes. It would also increase the possibility of a better product with lower price, in line with our objective to be more competitive with more linear processes.
Many financial services sectors are now talking about blockchain as being the solution to problems they did not even know they had. Is that also true for insurance?
In the future, it could be a very important technology. We are part of an international consortium – through Mapfre Re – which is trying to analyse ways to maximise use of this technology.
We see advantages as it could speed up the signing of contracts and the possibility to simplify international relationships; processes which now take two or three days could be shortened to seconds or minutes.
Would the exchange of information enabled by blockchain help you to fight fraud?
Fortunately, while fraud is an international problem, it is a limited issue: 99.9 per cent of our customers are genuine. We would not want to dedicate huge resources to a minimal problem. We do fight it using data management and better technology to identify problems and I believe that Mapfre has this under control. This is the result of having a network of agents who know their customers.
Why do insurance companies not offer more bundles of different product categories – as the telecoms industry does?
Fifteen years ago, I worked for a company which offered family packages with all the products. We have not replicated this model in other Mapfre companies.
It is an option but it is not easy. Most families do not have high incomes – unlike companies, for example – and if insurance products were bundled, they would have to pay a huge amount at one go. The option would be to allow monthly payments, for example, which is not easy.
We know that we can create a different range of products to offer multiple coverages such as car and home and health. We are working on this idea in many countries, so that we can offer what the customer wants when he needs it.
Does the vertical distribution of insurance products still make sense, when so much is now being done online?
Traditionally, distribution is based on different channels, which could be focused on specific customers… but not always. The majority of our agents have a wide range of customers – from individuals to large corporate – but know each of them well. Now we are evolving towards more customised products. This vertical distribution, as you called it, can help us as the agents understand the situation.
I think we can combine the horizontal distribution with our wide range of products but, if we are able to manage data and know our customers better and manage our agents better, we could be more effective. We think it could be an interesting approach to improve our market presence and our distribution.
Earlier we referred to the cost base of the industry. Are mergers and acquisitions the only way forward for the sector to remain sustainable? Or will it be a race to the bottom?
It depends whether you are talking about the Maltese market or an international one. In the former, there are a few companies in a small market but I cannot see any form of mergers or consolidation. Internationally, it is different.
Mapfre has been an active company, doing acquisitions in America, Malta, Europe over the years. It is an opportunity but this is not the only way to grow. We think organic growth is better. We have to do what we can internally to improve the organisation and to get more customers.
Having said that, we are constantly analysing opportunities.
You are right that many times customers think companies do not like to pay out and that they are difficult to deal with. But it is not true. Companies like Mapfre are very responsible and our first obligation is to pay out; our liabilities are clear. Mapfre has been working for the past 50 years based on this; it is the key to our success on the market.
Companies like us need to work hard to clarify the social role they play. We are one of the highest investors in every country: buying public debt, investing in infrastructure and any kind of financial product. That helps the stability of a country.
We are a consistent player in the economy of every country. Not only people but also governments are not aware of how much insurance companies can do to help society. I am referring to the current issues of the welfare state, pensions, education and public health.
The insurance sector helps to improve the public sector. It is not always easy; probably this is our fault. We have to spend more time and more resources to be more transparent and to speak out about the ways in which we can help to improve society.
The insurance industry presents many challenges. The world is changing and we have to be more efficient. Personally, I joined Mapfre as a trainee, as many other managers and executives did.
As I worked my way up over the past 30 years, I learned that it is the most social economic activity possible, through economic uncertainty and crises, through digitalisation and changes to society, insurance will always be present.
We are doing everything we can to demonstrate that, through this vision, it is a good ally of families, societies and governments. Sometimes they do not fully appreciate our role.
Insurance needs help if it is to help to create a better environment, a better society and a better standard of living.

Panasonic says its newly launched 1-chip DLP projector series is the quietest in the 7,000-lumen class.
Aimed at continuous 24-hour operation in public display and signage, as well as rental and staging applications, the DZ780 projectors feature a liquid cooling system that reduces operating noise to 30dB when projecting at full lamp output power.
Hartmut Kulessa, marketing manager projector products, Panasonic Visual System Solutions, said: "Again in an installation-class projector, we have provided a spec sheet which will set the DZ780 series apart from the competition.
Dual lamps and Relay Mode enable continuous 24-hour operation while ensuring uninterrupted playback in the event of lamp failure. For the first time at in a Panasonic projector at this level, high-end System Daylight View 2 joins Dynamic RGB Booster and Detail Clarity Processor technologies to boost colour reproduction, detail and brightness, even in well-lit spaces.
Geometric adjustment for curved-screen projection is featured, as is multi-screen support with colour matching and edge blending. The DZ780 series is also compatible with the optional Geometric Manager Pro and Auto Screen Adjustment plug-in software that automatically sets up and calibrates projectors in a network for multiple or curved-screen projection.
In another exclusive for this class of projector, the DZ780 series is now compatible with Art-Net DMX. It also features DIGITAL LINK, allowing long-distance transmission of up to 1080p content using a single cable connection of up to 100m for WUXGA resolution.
The DZ780 series comprises the PT-DZ780 (7,000 lumens, WUXGA), PT-DW750 (7,000 lumens, WXGA), and PT-DX820 (8,200 lumens, XGA) and launches in April 2015.


Newsnight Review discussed Matthew Bourne's Nutcracker.
For me, it's fantastic to see contemporary dance getting this sort of limelight. Performing in that size of venue, with that size of budget, because so often, it's done on the small scale. Here, he's really thinking big, and that's great. It makes it hard to define. It's hard to know what to call it, because when we say contemporary dance, we mean a certain type of lyric dance that we see other choreographers do. This, to me, is somewhere between dance and a musical, sort of like a "dancical", really. It's some kind of kind of new form. Having said that, for me, the most interesting thing about Nutcracker is the relationship between the Drosselmeyer, her uncle, who gives her the Nutcracker, and Clara. Because he has made Drosselmeyer into Dr Dross, who is, essentially, a bad character, there isn't that possibility for exploring that relationship. That's something Matthew could have done really well.
It's quite interesting, because in other interpretations he has made, he has actually invested the ballet with a lot more meaning, and darkness.
Exactly. He doesn't do that there. For me, that weakens the narrative. The plot seems to roll on, and then the eventual denouement, where the Nutcracker ends up in her bed, seems to come from nowhere.
Did you think it was still a ballet, or was it more of a pantomime?
I think it's quite like a pantomime. I agree with Deborah, you mentioned camp. In our house, we have a copy of the Barbie Nutcracker video. Matthew Bourne makes Barbie Nutcracker look like Harold Pinter in its restraint. It's incredibly camp. Camp is very knowing. There is always tipping the wink at the audience. Knowingness is the enemy of wonder and discovery. Really, partly, the ballet, the traditional Nutcracker, is about this awakening of this young girl to the amazing wonders of this sweetie world. I missed that. He is brilliant at characterisation. The children at the beginning are so much better than traditional ballet children. They come on, and they jump and scowl. They are fantastic. The choreography, I thought, was really clunking, and you miss those spine-tingling, virtuoso moments, when the whole thing is transformed.
Matthew says he loves high heels.
It's fun. It's like a very, very entertaining West End musical. What it's not like is those absolutely amazing� He showed in Swan Lake he can do big emotion in movement. I agree with Deborah, there is lots of emotion in here he could have tapped better.
His characterisation is very strong. He says, for example, for the liquorice man, he was thinking of Terry Thomas complete with the cigarette. There are all those kind of cinematic references.
That was, to me, an outstanding sequence. We are criticising something fine at a fairly high level, but if this isn't the place to take a sledgehammer to a Nutcracker, I don't know what is. It seems to me that when somebody enters, like the marshmallows, the costume is exactly right, their little jinking step is right. It's been understood exactly what little flick of the head will make the feathers tremble just the right amount. It's a perfect moment, but the entrances are better than the rest of the number. You don't get a sense of development, by and large. I don't feel that he does what choreographers really do, which is to take a chosen vocabulary, and work within it, towards something else. The only exception, I thought, was the very sinuous dance, the Arabian dance. That really built, because it wasn't just a matter of saying, "Here are the gobstoppers, they do that, here are the marshmallows, they do that, put them together and they do what they do."
Allison has mentioned Swan Lake, which completely blew a lot of people away. Like that, this introduces a whole new swathe of people to dance.
Absolutely. We shouldn't underestimate how important that is. There will be people will be going to Sadler's Wells, flocking in to see it, and loving it. I agree with Allison, I wonder how much of that knowingness is based on an audience who understands those classical ballet traditions, and gets the jokes through that route.

Integrating Environmentally Responsive Elements in Buildings
www.annex44.civil.aau.dk/
Energy usage for room heating, cooling and ventilation still accounts for more than one third of the total, primary energy demand in the industrialised countries, and is in this way a major polluter of the environment with CO2 and greenhouse-gases. To successfully achieve the targets set out in the Kyoto protocols it is necessary to identify innovative energy technologies and solutions for the medium and long term which facilitates the implementation and integration of low carbon technologies, such as renewable power generation devices within the built environment. Deployment of low carbon technologies still faces major barriers in the built environment especially in relation to costs, building logistics, technological challenges, lack of understanding and knowledge and absence of requisite skills. Moreover, there is world wide growing concern about the type of energy used for different purposes.
Research into building energy efficiency over the last decade has focused on efficiency improvements of specific building elements like the building envelope, including its walls, roofs and fenestration components (windows, daylighting, ventilation, etc.) and building equipment such as heating, ventilation, air handling, cooling equipment and lighting. In the framework of IEA research in ECBCS Annexes has focused on:
the optimisation of the building envelope - Annex 32 "Integral Building Envelope Performance Assessment"the optimisation of ventilation by intelligent hybrid ventilation - Annex 35 "Control Strategies for Hybrid Ventilation in New and Retrofitted Office Buildings (HybVent)"the optimisation of the heating and cooling system by low temperature heating and high temperature cooling - Annex 37 "Low Exergy Systems for Heating and Cooling"
Significant improvements have been made, and whilst most building elements still offer opportunities for efficiency improvements, the greatest future potential lies with technologies that promote the integration of active building elements and communication among building services. In this perspective Whole Building Concepts are defined as solutions where reactive building elements together with service functions are integrated into one system to reach an optimal environmental performance in terms of energy performance, resource consumption, ecological loadings and indoor environmental quality. Reactive Building Elements are defined as building construction elements which are actively used for transfer of heat, light, water and air. This means that construction elements (like floors, walls, roofs, foundation etc.) are logically and rationally combined and integrated with building service functions such as heating, cooling, ventilation and energy storage. The development, application and implementation of reactive building elements are considered to be a necessary step towards further energy efficiency improvements in the built environment.
With the integration of reactive building elements and building services, building design completely changes from design of individual systems to integrated design of "whole building concepts, augmented by "intelligent" systems and equipment. Development of enabling technologies such as sensors, controls and information systems are needed to allow the integration. Design strategies should allow for optimal use of natural energy strategies (daylighting, natural ventilation, passive cooling, etc.) as well as integration of renewable energy devices.
The annex will, based on the knowledge gained in the work so far (particularly the results of IEA Annexes 32, 35 and 37, SHC Task 23), address the following objectives:
Define state-of-the-art of reactive building elementsImprove and optimise reactive building elements and technologiesDevelop and optimise new building concepts with integration of reactive building elements, building services as well as natural and renewable energy strategiesDevelop tools for the early assessment of the impact of reactive building elements on the environmental performance of buildingsDevelop guidelines for procedures and tools for detailed simulation of environmental performance of reactive building elements and integrated building concepts

Extracting cosmological information from the sky, from the cosmic microwave background to intensity mapping with neutral hydrogen.
Place: Sterling B343 and
Speaker: Anh Phan , Physics PhD Graduate Student
Abstract: I will introduce several methods to extract cosmological information from observations of the sky, from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to hydrogen line intensity mapping. Starting with the first light, the CMB, a cosmological Boltzmann code is presented to calculate the CMB power spectra from different theoretical models, for a flat $(\Omega_k = 0)$ cosmology. It can rapidly compute the CMB power spectrum accurately up to high multipoles. After reviewing the chronological evolution of the Universe, I will then introduce the basic ideas of intensity mapping of neutral hydrogen after recombination, which tells us about structure formation. I will present the first results from the Tianlai Dish interferometer array, which is a new instrument specifically designed and constructed for hydrogen intensity mapping between redshift $z=0$ and $z=2.55$. The array is still in its infancy, and a thorough understanding of the instrument through simulation, calibration, noise analysis is described. An eigen-decomposition method to remove the Sun signal from the timestream data of radio interferometers is discussed in detail. It is applied to Tianlai data, which helps the instrument collect usable data during the daytime. Finally, a machine learning method is presented that maximizes the cross-correlation between hydrogen intensity maps and galaxy redshift surveys as a tool for detecting the hydrogen signal in the presence of bright foregrounds.

Responsible for client interface, business planning/administration, implementation, etc.
This paper details a new robotics programming framework called Conductor. The framework is unique in that it represents the hardware-software interface, and a user's interaction with that interface, in terms of state variables. Within Conductor hardware is represented to the user by its states of interest, with all other interface concerns abstracted to the greatest extent possible. This representation is enabled by a five-layered component structure which this paper describes. The structure of the program allows a designer to take advantage of bandwidth-saving optimizations in high degree of freedom cases and significantly improve performance over that of current tools.

• New Iridoid Glycosides: Ethanol extract yielded four new iridoid glycosides. (See Constituents) (3)
• Analgesic: Study evaluated the analgesic effect of C. formosana extract by hot-board method and writhing assay in mice. Results showed significantly improved inhibition rate of body twist and increment percentage of pain threshold in ethyl acetate and butanol extracts. (9)
• Antibacterial / Antioxidant: In a study of 15 medicinal plants, three extracts i.e., Melastoma candidum, Callicarpa formosana and Scutellaria barbata showed antibacterial activities. C. formosana showed good antibacterial activity only towards Gram-positive bacteria. On DPPH assay, Callicarpa formosana showed good radical scavenging activity and also yielded high total flavonoid content. (13)
• Mosquito Larvicidal / Leaf Essential Oil: The leaf essential oils of C. formosana, C. rubella (Nam Giai), C. rubella (Tay Giang) and C. sinuata showed comparable larvicidal activities with 24-h LC50 ranging from 24.2 to 31.9 µg/mL. The chemical compositions were very different. (see constituents above) (18)
• Stanching and Platelet Effects: Study evaluated the stanching effect of C. pedunculata on mice using measures of coagulation time by capillary method, bleeding time and platelet count. Results showed significantly shorter coagulation and bleeding time. C. pedunculata could increase platelets of mice (p<0.05, p<0.01). Results indicated CP had stanching effect (stopping the flow of blood from a wound) and can increase platelet count. (20)

【official website】the key to spraying fruit trees is not much, but cleverness! three extraordinary periods-凯时娱乐ks
the key to control apple tree disease is to use medicine skillfully, that is, to use medicine in the key period of disease control. in order to achieve this, we must understand the occurrence law of the main diseases in production, and then according to the occurrence law, in the most sensitive period of the disease, use drugs in advance to control the bacteria in the non germination or non infection state, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
1、 brown spot
in the following spring, when there is a lot of rain from april to may, a large number of conidia will be produced (dry and retting diseased leaves have no ability to produce conidia), and they will infect the leaves close to the ground through the rain splash. they will start to suffer from high temperature and humidity in may to june, and a large number of diseases will occur in july to august. when the temperature drops in october, the damage will stop. the incubation period is 13 to 55 days.
2、 leaf spot
the hyphae lived through the winter in the affected leaves, branches and bud scales, and produced conidia in the spring of the second year, which spread with the air flow and wind and rain. the hyphae began to infect 7-10 days after anthesis, and a large number of high temperature cases occurred in may june and august. the spores of the infected leaves were formed in late april to early may, and on the branches in july.
3、 chakra disease
it is also called rough skin disease and brown rot disease. it mainly damages branches and fruits. the mycelium of the fungus lived through the winter in the diseased tumors of the branches and trunk. in march to april of the next year, the fungus first infected the branches and then the fruits. from june to july, it infects young fruit, but does not occur. when the fruit is under high temperature and drought in the near mature stage, the disease is more serious. the peak of the disease occurred before harvest and 1 month after storage. the center of the disease is lenticel, which forms oblate reddish brown spots, the center protuberance is tumor like, the edge of the disease is cracked, and black small particles are produced in the middle of the second year. the center of the fruit disease is the lenticel, which produces the light brown dots (red dots) in the form of water stains. after the enlargement, the concentric rings of light and dark brown are formed, and there is the overflow of the tea brown mucus. the whole fruit rots quickly and gives off the sour odor. in the early stage of growth, rainfall often occurs early, while in the mature stage, high temperature and drought are more serious, and vice versa.
4、 anthrax
mainly harmful to fruit. in the second year, the conidia spread through rain and insects, and invaded the fruit through lenticels, and infected many times. generally, from late may to early june, it enters the peak period of infection. from july to august, high temperature and high humidity is the peak period of disease onset, and a large number of diseased fruits appear. after the disease, the fruit was initially brown round spots, then dark brown (or black) spots and sunken, and the black small dots of the central protuberance were arranged in concentric rings. high temperature, high humidity and heavy rain. the orchard is closed and low-lying, with poor ventilation and light transmission.
in a word, there are three key periods for disease prevention: one is to clear the garden in winter and spring, to destroy the overwintering places and reduce the overwintering base. the second is to strengthen the drug protection from 3 to 5 days after anthesis to before bagging to prevent the infection of pathogens. third, pay attention to climate change, spray before rain to prevent the spread of pathogens.
previous:boron fertilizer has a powerful effect. learn to use it correctly and increase your income by 10 times
next:[warning] the weather of over 30 ℃ high temperature strong wind is coming, so the management can make the wheat pass the customs smoothly and ensure high yield

Variety Read Next: TV Ratings: 'Mr. Mayor' Ratings Quadruple in Key Demo Following Premiere Date
Dec 17, 2018 11:39am PT
Facebook Has Talked With HBO, Showtime and Other Networks but It's Unlikely to Proceed With Pay-TV Idea
Is Facebook about to become cable TV provider? Don't bet on it.
The social giant has held informal discussions with cable networks including HBO and Showtime Networks about potentially offering subscriptions to their streaming services on Facebook, multiple sources tell Variety, confirming a Recode report last week that first reported the talks.
However, Facebook currently has no plans to launch a subscription-video product and ultimately is unlikely to pull the trigger on a foray into the pay-TV world, sources said. After initially reaching out to TV networks about the idea, Facebook execs have been leaning toward the conclusion that getting into the premium, over-the-top video biz would be too divergent from its core ad-supported model.
One source emphasized that the talks between Facebook and the TV networks never progressed beyond the spit-balling stage: The parties did not get into negotiations about business terms, such as what percentage of subscription fees Facebook might keep under the proposed distribution pacts.
Representatives for Facebook, HBO and Showtime declined to comment.
The notion was that the likes of HBO and Showtime could be a strong draw to bring users to Facebook Watch, its destination for longer-form, episodic video programming that debuted in August 2017 and has now expanded globally. And Amazon has shown it can amass a big business by aggregating channels: Its Prime Video Channels is pegged at raking in $1.7 billion in revenue this year, projected to more than double to $3.6 billion in 2020 worldwide, according to estimates by BMO Capital Markets.
But Facebook may have had trouble seeing a realistic path to getting a payback on investing in developing and marketing a subscription-based premium OTT TV section of Watch — particularly given the numerous ways consumers can already get channels like HBO and Showtime. Unlike Amazon, Facebook doesn't have an existing ecommerce relationship with its users or history of distributing paid content, so it would be starting from scratch.
More to the point, Facebook's entire strategy for Watch has been to build a platform that provides a bigger bucket of ad inventory, to give marketers a place to buy TV-like ads against premium content as it looks for new areas of growth. It doesn't want to confuse users about what Watch is by promoting HBO subscription signups, just as Facebook Watch has picked up steam since the worldwide rollout. Last week the company claimed 75 million daily users now watch an average of over 20 minutes of video per day (though those numbers aren't independently verified and super-users may skew average watch-time up).
While the company is continuing to invest in original content going into Year 2 of Facebook Watch — it recently renewed four shows, including drama "Sorry For Your Loss" and anthology series "Sacred Lies" — it doesn't see paying for content as a long-term strategy.
Facebook's preference is to be more laissez-faire. It wants producers and creators to feed Facebook Watch, in return for a split of ad revenue, like YouTube. That model was highlighted in a New York Times feature this Sunday, which cited The Jalals, a trio of Australian prankster brothers, as claiming they have earned more than $500,000 from Facebook Watch since its global expansion in August.
Facebook execs have regularly said they don't envision erecting a paywall for Watch content. But it has rolled out a Patreon-like membership system for users to fund their favorite creators in return for exclusive content and other perks. (Note that YouTube has shifted gears on its original-programming strategy, unifying the slate to better monetize the content through free, ad-supported viewing in later windows.)
Today, Facebook doesn't really see long-form video as a great business — compared with the cash-spewing machine of News Feed advertising. "[V]ideo monetizes significantly less well per minute than people interacting in feeds," CEO Mark Zuckerberg told investors Oct. 30 on the company's Q3 earnings call. "So this means that even though we've made video more community-oriented and minimized displacement of social interactions, as video grows, it will still displace some other services where we'd probably make more money."
But the push to video is necessary, Zuckerberg said, because "It's what our community wants as long as we can make it social."
The question is, can conventional TV programming like HBO's "Game of Thrones" or Showtime's "Shameless" be made "social" in a Facebook context? The jury is still out.
The pay-TV streaming idea is one of several concepts Facebook has mulled to kick-start Watch. The company recently gave the go-ahead on one such experiment: It licensed 20th Century Fox Television reruns of cult-favorite TV shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel" and "Firefly" in the U.S. for Watch, on the theory that social-viewing features would enable a new shared experience for fans. The batch of 268 episodes, which launched Nov. 30, garnered less than 1 million views total in the first week. Nearly half of those were for a single episode: the "Buffy" pilot — surely a cooler reception than Facebook was hoping for.

For once, Dr. Drew is the one in need of some medical treatment.
The man who usually tries to set wayward stars back on the straight and narrow on "Celebrity Rehab" fell ill while on his second honeymoon, reports E! Online.
While he didn't reveal the exact destination, he coyly hinted that he was heading to someplace warm in a January 7 tweet: "Leaving VERY early tomorrow morning on our second honeymoon. Secret destination but bring shorts and sunglasses," he wrote.
However upon return to the U.S. on January 17, he sent another tweet, indicating that things had taken a turn for the worse.
"Spent the night as a patient in the hospital," he wrote. "Seems I may have picked up Leptospirosis in the West Indies. This is just brutal."
Leptospirosis is an infectious disease that causes jaundice, muscle pain, fever and occasionally hemorrhages in the eyes and skin.
