Ghost of World War 2
Comments Off on Ghost of World War 2
Posted by brent
When you mix violence with enormous loss of life, the resulting stories of the supernatural are inevitable. World War 2, of course, fits this recipe. From the beaches of Normandy, to the skies above Pearl Harbor, I am going to touch on a few of the more famous ghosts of World War2.
Many people have reported seeing ghostly soldiers all over Europe. Since much of the heavy fighting of the war took place on that continent, this comes as no surprise. With the beaches of Normandy attracting millions of visitors each year, there have been numerous reports of paranormal sightings. Detailed reports of soldiers still hiding in the bunkers, troops hiding behind trees, and sounds of guns being fired at night make Normandy one of the most haunted locations of the war. Many Europeans have spotted the ghostly images of soldiers hiding in their attics as well as walking around towns that saw heavy fighting during the conflict. There are even rumors of a cannibalistic English Private that still haunt a small village in the Swiss Alps. It is said that before he was shot, he had eaten parts of sevend children.
Not to be outdone by their human counterparts, there are also reports of ghostly war machines. One of the most well known is the American P-40 Warhawk that appeared on December 8, 1943, exactly a year and one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The story is that the plane appeared on radar, out of nowhere. The pilots that were sent to intercept the aircraft reported that the plane was shot full of holes, the landing gear was missing, and they witnessed a bloody pilot in the cockpit. The P-40 suddenly began losing altitude and crashed. When investigators showed up at the crash site, they found the wreckage of the plane, but there was no pilot. Another mystery is the fate of the crew of the Navy L-8 blimp. Sent on a submarine scouting mission, it returned two hours later and crashed into a house in Daly City California, near San Francisco. The recovery team investigating the crash found that everything was in place the way it should be and no emergency equipment had been deployed. That's probably because the entire crew had disappeared, never to be heard from again.
The horrendous events of World War 2 have inspired many stories of heroism and survival. It has also spawned a few ghost stories. Whether it be planes operated by spirits, to ghost ships, to apparitions of soldiers still at war, the images of World War 2 are still with us.
WWII soldier's diary supports claim Hitler fathered French love child
Comments Off on WWII soldier's diary supports claim Hitler fathered French love child
Press Trust of India
London: A sensational entry in a newly discovered diary of a soldier has added weight to the claims that Adolf Hitler had fathered a lovechild with a 16-year-old French woman while serving as a corporal during World War I.
For decades, the tatty pocket diary of former Royal Engineer Leonard Wilkes had gathered dust in a box on top of a wardrobe among a war hero's possessions. His sons, Alan and Gordon, discovered it after death of their mom 10 years ago.
Mr. Leonard was one of the first soldiers to land (more…)

Comments Off on Arizona woman tells students about life under the Nazis during WWII
By Lisa Irish, The Daily Courier
When Julie Gianettino, a student at Prescott Mile High Middle School, asked Lucy Hanson how they cooked after the Nazis took over her hometown of Hilversum in the Netherlands during World War II, Hanson told her she and her grandfather cut firewood from the forest.
"We had no gas, no electricity, water for an hour in the morning and little food," said Hanson, who was 10 years old when her country was occupied. "Thank goodness we had a garden. Everybody was growing their own vegetables in their front and backyards. We made lots of soups, but we were all very skinny." (more…)

Comments Off on Nazi secrets: WWII planes buried under Seymour, Indiana airport
By Chris Turner, WDRB.com
SEYMOUR, Ind. — Searchers in Seymour, Indiana look underground for some of the secrets of World War II — Nazi secrets, to be precise.
The Allies shipped Nazi planes to Freeman Field so pilots and engineers could fly them, take them apart, and put them back together again.
What they learned was important, because American planes weren't as advanced.
What happened to those planes after the war is still a mystery.

HathiTrust Strategic Directions 2019-2023 Full text in Dropbox
The following intentions will guide our work in the coming years:
Responsibly steward collections and resources.
Include many voices and perspectives in collections, services, and governance.
Embrace new opportunities in an evolving information landscape.
Focus on strengths when identifying new activities.
Take risks that help achieve HathiTrust's vision.
Promote interdependence among libraries.
Read more about HathiTrust's five-year objectives, as well as potential investments and activities, in Strategic Directions 2019-2023.
2017 Message from Executive Director, Mike Furlough
In 2018 HathiTrust will mark its tenth year. In this past decade we've grown from just over two dozen members to nearly 130 and expanded our collection to include nearly 16 million volumes. Along the way we've achieved a great deal: the launching of the HathiTrust Research Center; large-scale copyright reviews of works in the collection; building a Federal Documents Registry to identify US government documents for digitization; the development of a distributed shared print monographs collection to mirror HathiTrust's digital library. In 2011 we held a "constitutional convention" to develop the organizational and governance models necessary to ensure our long term sustainability.
We have accomplished much of what we originally set out to do and we are now ready to set ambitious new strategic goals for the next 3-5 years. Our collaboration has enabled unprecedented access to digitized collections, cost-effective shared infrastructure, digital preservation, development of distinctive collections, and availability of new services to scholars. Many of these benefits have accrued beyond the HathiTrust membership and serve the public good. Building on this success, HathiTrust remains committed to its mission to "contribute to research, scholarship, and the common good by collaboratively collecting, organizing, preserving, communicating, and sharing the record of human knowledge."
By defining a vision for the future as well as areas for strategic focus, HathiTrust will be well positioned to provide leadership in the preservation and use of digitized collections and tools to support research, teaching, and learning. We took preliminary steps in 2015 when we surveyed the members and, based on your comments, determined to keep our collections scope on books and book-like materials for the next several years. Following that, the Board of Governors and the Program Steering Committee began to consider how to use that focus to further serve the membership and our user communities. Earlier this summer, both groups met in retreat to identify areas of strategic focus for HathiTrust for the next 3-5 years.
From that retreat came a draft version of HathiTrust's Vision, Strategic Themes and Objectives. This is not a finished plan, by any means. Through the remainder of 2017 HathiTrust's staff and leadership intend to be be in conversation with our membership to review these ideas, and, more importantly, to hear your own. We will devote our 2017 Member Meeting to this topic as well. Following this outreach period, we'll review and revise our strategic directions for release in early 2018.
Charting HathiTrust's Strategic Directions webcast: August 29, 2017
A series of small discussion groups will be hosted in September and notes on these discussions will be posted as they become available.

I am currently an assistant professor of applied English at Chihlee University of Technology (New Taipei City, Taiwan). I have also taught at the University of California in Davis and Santa Cruz.
I received my BA from the Evergreen State College in 2008 and my PhD from the University of California, Davis, in 2014.
My research and writing takes the perspective of cultural history. Broadly speaking, I am interested in how ways of thinking change over time in relation to living conditions (social, economic, political, technological, etc.). I draw particularly on the American intellectual tradition: the classical Pragmatists, Grace de Laguna, Morse Peckham, Julian Jaynes, Philip Rieff, Elijah Jordan, and so on.
My early research focused on music and literature in India (especially the state of Odisha). More recent writings cover topics such as the development of Jon Hassell's musical aesthetic, Morse Peckham's theory of Romanticism, the tension between "sage-writing" and standard academic discourse, Jordan B. Peterson's place in Euroamerican cultural history, etc.

Take Love
by Queen & Paul Rodgers
Album: Unreleased (2006)
Songfacts®:
"Take Love" is an up-tempo bluesy Rock song written predominately by Paul Rodgers. It was debuted on the North America tour in 2006, to a strong fan response, and the assumption was that it would be on their upcoming album The Cosmos Rocks. In the end it remains unreleased - the rumour being that the song was recorded in sessions at Roger Taylor's house, but the band were unsatisfied with the recording and there was no time to fix it.
It remains unreleased, but with Brian May discussing the possibility of unreleased Queen tracks being re-worked for release, it could see the light of day - or alternatively it could come out as a Paul Rodgers recording, as he was the main author of this track.

Exiles U19's Hit Purple Patch
The Irish Exiles U19's played their Welsh counterparts at Old Deer Park, the home of London Welsh RFC, Sunday 24th October….
The Irish Exiles U19's played their Welsh counterparts at Old Deer Park, the home of London Welsh RFC, Sunday 24th October. Although there was a strong wind blowing down the pitch the game was played in sunshine and on a good surface. The Welsh were a very big side and early indications suggested that the Irish might be out-muscled. This fear was dispelled at the first scrum when Ireland U18 international loose head Callum Black ably supported by tight head Brendan Lynch shunted the Welsh 8 backwards. This scrummaging power continued throughout the game even with a change of front row forwards. In Black, Lynch and Cornish man Joe McGovern, who can play either side of the scrum, the Exiles have three U19 props who can emulate the achievements of their recent predecessors, Declan Fitzpatrick and Stephen Bennett who played for Ireland at U19 and U21.
The first half of the game was evenly contested with some excellent football from both sides. A wonderful piece of approach play and slick hands saw the Exiles score their first try through Dutchman Johan van Breda, a Dutch U18 international, in the corner. The Welsh quickly responded and their right wing Rees touched down for a Welsh try.
The game then ebbed back and forward between the two 22 metre lines before the Irish added two more unconverted tries through Peter Madigan and Tom Cleary.
The Welsh responded with a converted try bringing the score to Welsh 13, Irish 15 at half-time.
For the first 20 minutes of the second half the Irish played some wonderful football with forwards and backs equally comfortable on the ball. Their ability to keep the ball alive and find space saw the Irish run in three tries through Dave Moore, Peter Madigan and Dan Neville. The Welsh contested fiercly but could not stem the flow of the Exiles game with Dan Neville adding another try to bring the final score to Irish Exiles 35, Welsh Exiles 13.
The composition of the Exiles team gives an indication of how far we are spreading our search net with Nik Gallagher from Scotland, Joe Mcgovern from Cornwall, Johan van Breda from Holland, Joe Walker from Manchester and Oliver Lancaster from Harrogate.
The match was attended by Michael Cunningham, the Ireland U19 Manager, and David Eakin, the Ireland U18 Manager, both of whom thought their visit was well worth while.

Q: How to fix CWE 566 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled SQL Primary Key I have a JEE application that uses hibernate, and Veracode complains about some lines of code that I do not know how to fix.
Basically, we have a generic class to perform basic operations on entities
    public void delete(T entity, final boolean cachable) {
        getHibernateTemplate().setCacheQueries(cachable);
        getHibernateTemplate().delete(entity);
    }

Then this code is called like this
...
            connectionDAO.delete(user, nbMaxConnections);
...

with the entity User for example which looks like this (I don't put the complete class definition)
@Entity
@Auditable
public class User extends Profile implements Cloneable,UserDetails,Principal
{

    /** The enabled. */
    private Boolean enabled = true;

    /** The reason for disabled. */
    private String reasonForDisabled = null;

    /** The disabled date. */
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    private Date disabledDate = null;

    /** The parent. */
    @ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn
    private Group parent = null;

    /** The information. */
    @Embedded
    private UserInformation information = null;

    /** The released date. */
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    private Date releasedDate = null;

    /** The nb wrong attempts. */
    private Integer nbWrongAttempts = null;

    private String salt;

and Veracode complains about the delete() call of hibernate template with the following description :
In this call to org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateOperations.delete, a data access statement could be executed with a primary key that can be controlled by externally provided values. If the provided primary key is not properly validated and the underlying storage does not restrict access to only entities that the user should be granted access to, it may be possible for an attacker to reference unauthorized records.
I don't know what to check (should I first check that the entity is present in the database before deleting it ?)
Regards

When all is going well, water should be able to move through your home freely. However, situations can occur where water leaks are present within a home. In fact, statistics show 10% of homes contain leaks that waste nearly 90 gallons of water each day. Whether you're dealing with a small or massive leak, it's wise to have these taken care of by a plumbing service. Water leaks can cause your monthly bills to increase. These increases can become much higher in homes with lots of people needing water. Considering that, here are five common sources of water leaks.
A toilet is an essential appliance in any home. That being said, it can often be one of the main sources of leaking water. You'll first want to check where the water is coming from. If water is leaking at the bottom of your toilet, the seal has become damaged. In other cases, water leaks from the toilet tanks which often require repairs by a plumbing contractor. If you're tired of having your toilet repaired, replacing it with a low flush model is a wise idea. In fact, statistics show that a low flush toilet can help you save nearly 18,000 gallons of water each year.
The most obvious sign of leaking faucet occurs when you notice water dripping out of the faucet. This dripping occurs even after the faucet has been fully turned off. While this might not seem like a major cause for concern, this dripping adds up. Statistics show that a leaking faucet that drips once every 30 seconds wastes a gallon of water per week. Another common source of leaks occurs underneath the sink. A leaking sink pipe often sprays massive amounts of water into your cabinets. In turn, this can present the possibility of mold forming in this location. Considering that, you'll want to leave any sink pipe issues in the hands of a plumbing service.
You likely know that hoses and pipes are attached to your washing machine. This running water is how this machine is able to effectively clean clothes. However, these pipes and hoses are susceptible to leaks, much like any other location within your home. However, water is always running through these pipes. Therefore, a leaking washing machine can fill your home with water quickly. This means it's best to contact a plumber right away while dealing with this problem.
Unfortunately, not all sources of leaks will be easily noticed. Since water pipes are installed behind walls and under sinks, it can be understandably frustrating to deal with this problem. If you're unable to find the source of your leak using the previously mentioned methods, it's best to leave this job to a professional plumber. Many homeowners have ended up tearing up their homes trying to find where pipes are leaking. Many homeowners contact plumbing services to have this problem professionally taken care of.
Another source of leaks can occur if tree roots come into contact with water pipes. Over time, the friction between these two materials can cause roots to tear into your piping. In a similar manner to wall pipes, these leaks can be tough to find. If your water bill prices are climbing and you can't figure out the reason, it could be due to tree roots in your yard. You'll definitely want this problem fixed by a plumber.
To summarize, there are several common sources of leaking water within a home. While dealing with any of these problems, it best to contact a plumbing service. In turn, this ensures that professionals are working in your home with the right equipment and tools. This helps to ensure that you don't have worry about the time, risk, and effort it takes to find water leaks within your home.

If You're Happy and You Know It—FACEBOOK WILL DETECT IT
Aaron Saenz
Does the internet know when you're smiling? That's a rhetorical question. Of course it can. Face.com, makers of a top notch facial recognition API, recently announced it was now capable of detecting the moods and expressions of people in photos it scans. Now, not only can the API tell who you are, it can say whether you were happy, sad, smiling, or even kissing. Face.com is the creator of the popular PhotoFinder and PhotoTagger apps on Facebook, so you may soon see that capability on the social network as well as among the 20,000 developers who use the Face.com API.
In related news, Facebook (using its own software) has been automatically using facial recognition to tag photos you upload since December of last year. They've already prompted the use of such facial scanning 2.7 billion times in the past six months! Learn more about their push for automated tagging in the video below. Facial recognition has grown so sophisticated, and cheap, that it seems it will soon leave no photo untagged, no mood unrecorded. If that idea makes you uneasy, don't worry, the social network of the future knows exactly how you feel.
Face.com's API can now detect your mood and expression. Awesome or creepy?
Facebook quietly rolled out their in-house facial recognition (Photo-Tag Suggest) in the US last December, allowing users to tag their friends, teaching the social network who was who. Soon there after, Facebook could automatically suggest who was in each picture, making tagging quick and easy. It's a pretty awesome feature, and as of early June it was available "in most countries." On June 30th, Facebook announced it had prompted its 750 million active users 2.7 billion times to try the automated tagging process, often with the rather ambiguous box on your homepage labeled "Photos are better with friends." Naturally some privacy activists groups are crying foul, worrying that although the Photo Tag Suggest only works on your friends Facebook is collecting huge amounts of data on our appearance.
Mood recognition from Face.com
The Israeli facial recognition company ABC News interviews is Face.com, who we discussed a little over a year ago with the launch of their API. According to a recent newsletter, in the past twelve months their API has gone from a few dozen developers to over 20,000. That's very impressive, but when you look at all the Face.com API can do, it just makes sense. Not only is the code quite capable in finding faces and matching them against others in the databases you provide, it is now able to detect moods and expressions. The Face.com API can recognize when you are happy, sad, surprised, angry, or neutral and gives a confidence interval on that analysis. Now, when sorting through photos, a developer could use the API to organize them according to how you felt at the time the pic was taken. Similarly, the API can now detect smiles, parted lips, and kissing lips, further refining the classification. Among the suggested uses for the new capabilities would be reaction detection in live chats, filtering in dating sites according to mood in profile pics, and selecting the best photos for display.
When you start to imagine the potential applications for this technology, it gets really amazing. Sure, Facebook already is pushing to be able to recognize its 750 million users, but that just tells you what everyone looks like. Face.com could make it possible to guess at relationships based just on photos. Do you always smile when you're with someone? Maybe it's a sign you really like them. File that away in the metadata and maybe use it to make their suggestions mean more in searches, etc. Do thousands of people take geotagged pictures at a certain location every year? Maybe that location (stadium, landmark, etc) would like to find all the happy smiling people in those pictures and use it for marketing. Filing celebrity photos for press agencies, determining when customers are unhappy during recorded events, tracking how consumers feel during market research—there are tons of ways this technology could be applied.
Expression recognition from Face.com
And it's (mostly) free. 20,000 developers have already found uses for the Face.com API, and that's without any of the new mood and expression detection algorithms. As we've discussed before, many are simply cute apps for entertainment, but with more sophisticated capabilities we'll see more sophisticated applications. Soon, social networks, and really all internet sites, could use facial recognition technology that puts most security networks to shame.
What gets me about all of this is really how ubiquitous facial detection and recognition has become. iPhoto has it, Facebook has it, Google's Picasa has it – all the major players have brought it online, and we've seen it used in advertising stunts as well. Which means that it's probably also in many private places we don't know about – ATMs, office buildings, etc. Somewhere along the line, this fun and amazing capability sort of creeped in everywhere. Which I may not be totally against. Your face is part of your appearance, when you show it somewhere you are publicly displaying it. If you (knowingly) allow people to record you, you should recognize that they can use it to learn more about you, including your identity. That's part of living in a world filled with cameras and digital databases. That being said, I'm not sure it's as creepy as we may think. Most applications of this technology have, so far, been limited to applications you are aware of, not readily searchable by the public, and increasingly secure – Face.com now supports SSL on their API for instance.
If, however, we decide we can't live with computers being able to recognize us and our emotions, we better act fast. Face.com's API is only going to get more sophisticated in the next year, and we've seen similarly advanced detection algorithms for video as well. Give them much more time, it there'll be no telling what they'll be capable of…
…like shooting lasers out of your eyes!

for example
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask/submit ( this is my question link i posted today so it should show today date after that if any one answered to my question it should show that answered date and time).
Thank Q

A: I don't think that there is any way to find out publish date & time from any url/link only, until you are keeping record of the current/publish date & time for any post on your database. you should maintain a database where you should keep the publish date & time for each post.

Nudity: Beyond the Controversy
Kim: "When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL"
Probing the blurred lines between female empowerment,
naked protests & sheer exhibitionism
Last week, as the world marked the International Women's Day, a bizarre cycle of 'creative' ferment rocked social media over Kim Kardashian's naked selfie Instagram post, which, in a way, was surprising since it was not the first time the reality star "broke the internet."
Nevertheless, it got television personality, Wendy Williams wondering if Kanye West had hijacked his wife's phone. It also prompted former CNN presenter, Piers Morgan to offer, derisively, to buy her clothes in response to the puckishly captioned post, "When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL."
Bette Midler, who actually set the tone for the ferment, wrote the hilarious tweet, "If Kim wants us to see a part of her we've never seen, she's gonna have to swallow the camera."
Moms share nude snaps following Kim's internet offering
And Kim, in a rather uncharacteristic reaction to the hoopla, did what some called 'pulling a Kanye' (which seems to be another way of saying 'taking the bait' especially if it involves engaging in a twitter feud). She said afterwards, "I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin. I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me. And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world."
She did, in fact, 'encourage' some British mothers to feel empowered enough to strip for the camera. This week, the London-based Sun Newspaper published nude photos of five new moms who stripped off to show, according to the paper, what REAL post-pregnancy women look like naked.
But beyond the utterly pointless controversy over Kim's nude selfie, many now see the line between naked protests aimed at female empowerment and the sexy stereotypes that feminists scorn becoming steadily blurred. And the question they are asking is, does nudity really prove the point?
Protesters at the Pamplona bull run
In a Vice Media blog post, Bertie Brandes wonders if "It's time for women to rethink naked protests." Analyzing the adventures of Heather Varley, a 22-year-old British student, who traveled to Spain last year to participate in a PETA-inspired protest against animal cruelty during the Pamplona bull run, Bertie offered interesting insights. While other protesters sprayed red paint on their bodies, Heather chose instead to protest topless. "I've got an inkling," Bertie wrote. "Just an inkling—largely due to the total disregard of the equally nearly-naked male protester next to Heather in the story—that yes, yes! Heather's nipples might have been what got this protest into the news."
FEMEN protest against EURO 2012
The truth, though, is that over the years, nudity has been effectively employed in protests to attract public attention to a cause. But nudity, according to Bertie, might not have much to do with animal rights, all the same, Heather understood that the only way to get attention was to strip because of the power still carried by the image of a woman's naked body. Further, Bertie observed that nude protests had worked for FEMEN (a group of Ukrainian topless female activities) up to a point. "The problem is that their argument was entirely undermined when it turned out that these beautiful women who risked their lives to campaign against stifling sexism had apparently been auditioned on the basis of their attractiveness." Her verdict? "Exploiting other women's confidence and trust on that level is pretty depressing."
In fact, many pundits hold the opinion that a line should be drawn between nudity as a form of protest for a specific cause and nudity for the sheer purpose of exhibitionism.
Last November, the British newspaper columnists, Jan Moir, in her piece in the Daily Mail captioned, "Why these X-rated red carpet dresses betray women," went as far as saying that those 'guilty of this indecent exposure' were deluding themselves and demeaning their sex.
"Down on the red carpet and up on the stage, a new frontier in feminism is being established," she wrote.
"Battle lines have been drawn in a crusade where she-celebrities seem to be competing to see who can wear the least the best, all in the name of emancipation and fashion forward self-expression. Who dares to bare wins? Everyone loves a bit of sexy glamour, but stars are stepping out in ever more terrifying outfits: barely there frocks that seem to get skimpier, tighter, more outrageous and revealing than before. First there was actress Salma Hayek in eye-popping ruffled plunge, showing more breast than a 10lb turkey. Then there was Marks & Spencer model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the kind of navel-grazing sequins that might give Jessica Rabbit pause for thought. Pop singer Mollie King wore a dress slit to the navel - from both directions - which was so revealing we could all see she had dutifully kept her waxing appointments…That is why it is rather depressing to see that, within the Tinseltown confines of show business, so many of them seem to be content to reduce themselves to the kind of sexy stereotypes worshiped by men."
As with other aspects of feminism, the talk about women's freedom to express themselves through nudity and fashion is an ongoing debate.
In this context, Angelina Chapin, the Blog editor of the Huffington Post said that "Some of the most important moments in modern feminism have been the result of tensions between feminists."
In her opinion piece in the Ottawa Citizen entitled, "Why Feminists Should Argue Over Kim Kardashian's Selfie," she asserted that "We should also ask questions older feminists did not, such as why Serena Williams' body is shamed while Maria Sharapova's is celebrated and why a white woman's assault matters more than an Aboriginal woman's murder."
Caitlyn Stasey
It probably doesn't come as a surprise that the argument, inevitably, touches yet again on the body issue, which the Australian actress, Caitlyn Stasey had a rather unusual response to early last year.
Caitlyn, according to a report in the Mail Online, in a bold move to show her dissatisfaction with the way women were being presented across all forms of media, launched what she called a female-empowerment website complete with a series of full-frontal photographs.
While the initiative was positively received, pundits are still struggling to find a convincing answer to the all-important question, does nudity really prove the point?

Q&A with Hartford Books Examiner
Direct examination:
Augustine Sam
'The Conspiracy of Silence'
Today, Hartford Books Examiner welcomes Augustine Sam.
From AuthorSuite Books
Sam is the author of "The Conspiracy of Silence" (AuthorSuiteBooks). A bilingual Italian journalist and an award winning poet, he is also a member of the U.K. Chartered Institute of Journalists. Sam was formerly Special Desk editor at THISDAY newspapers, an authoritative Third World daily first published in collaboration with the Financial Times of London. He later became correspondent for central Europe. His poems have been published in two international anthologies: "The Sounds of Silence" and "Measures of the Heart." One of his poems, Anguish & Passion, was the winner of the Editors' Choice Awards in the North America Open Poetry contest, USA. Augustine's debut novel, "Take Back the Memory," a contemporary Women's fiction, received a Readers' Favorite 5-star medal. His second book, "Flashes of Emotion," a collection of poems, was the 2015 International Book Award Finalist. Sam lives and works in Venice.
"The Conspiracy of Silence" was published last September. Tracy Edingfield, lawyer and author of "The Law Firm of Psycho & Satan," praised: "This fire-cracker female lead is a force of nature who drives her powerful enemies to their knees. She's smart, she's brave. She's sexy as hell. Sam's tale of the mob's tenacious grip on American politics is bared in some of the best courtroom scenes ever written." Further, TFLReader (Top 500 Reviewer) noted "This is definitely one wild ride from start to finish …"
From the publisher:
SEX SCANDALS IN HIGH PLACES ...
An exposé on the murky world of high-stakes politics...a depiction of the life-and-death struggle of a young female lawyer who goes to great lengths to outwit a diabolical trio in order to save her lover from a murder rap.
The conscience of a town steeped in sexism, vanity and hypocrisy is pricked by the brutal murder of a mysterious woman in an LA park. But the shock is transformed into a steamy, seductive scandal when the corpse turns out to be Susan Whitaker, the flamboyant wife of the governor of California.
A secret lover/blackmailer theory leads to the indictment of Hollywood's most influential black celebrity. It is only the beginning, for Susan Whitaker, in fact, did not exist.
Little does anyone realize that this colossal fraud is a mere curtain raiser to a chilling world of ugly skeletons dating back to the assassination of a U.S. senator in a Washington hotel sauna, skeletons connected to riveting sex scandals in high places, skeletons the FBI and political kingmakers will kill for...
Now, Augustine Sam offers up his testimony in the matter of "The Conspiracy of Silence" …
John Valeri: What inspired you to write "The Conspiracy of Silence" – and how did you find the process to compare to that of writing your first novel?
Augustine Sam: Actually, "The Conspiracy of Silence" was motivated by a play I wrote for broadcast many years ago—a 30-minute radio play about a musician accused of a murder he did not commit. His sister, it turned out, was the only person alive who knew he was innocent though the evidence pointed to his culpability; her desperation to prove his innocence, of course, was the core of the play. When it was aired, I felt that it was too short to convey the kind of emotion that should naturally accompany a tense plot such as that, so I decided to write a novel about it with all the powerful ingredients that were missing in the play.
My first novel, "Take Back the Memory" on the other hand, was a different ball game. It involved the creation of a flawed character whose struggles with her inner demons had the sole purpose of helping us, as literature often does, to understand ourselves as humans. It was a kind of psychological exploration of the human mind, in this case, a woman's mind; a woman unable to fall out of love with her childhood sweetheart who had abandoned her for priesthood. She decided to embark on a very curious kind of vendetta.
In a way, the process of writing both books was similar in that I delved into what some might call political incorrectness.
JV: Your protagonist, Rita Spencer, is a defense attorney. How did you endeavor to get into her head – and where did you draw the line between authenticity and creative license in terms of depicting her profession?
AS: Rita Spencer is thrust into the limelight she dreads by a murder of which her lover is accused. It is important to note two things: (1) she happens to be a good investigator whose strength lies in the kind of dirt she's able to dig up in any given case, and (2) like any woman in love, she is desperate to save her lover from the murder rap. Based on that premise, the writer in me undertook the pleasurable task of getting into her head through what I would call a normal creative process. The line between authenticity and my creative license in depicting her profession is not drawn but designed to blend with reality. In the evolution of the story, her conduct as a person (or what you might call behind-the-scene maneuver) is distinct from the tricks she pulls in the courtroom, the process of which is presented in as authentic a manner as it is in real life. In fact, one former practicing lawyer describes the legal process portrayed in the book as "some of the best courtroom scenes ever written." Of course, I am honored by the compliment.
JV: In your opinion, how does setting enhance narrative – and in what ways have your own international experiences informed this work?
AS: The setting of any novel is imperative to the narrative. It highlights the story, makes the characters real and identifiable, gives a greater understanding of the plot, and puts the events in their proper environmental perspective. It is true for all genres including thrillers, which, in addition to the setting, have the advantage of a fast-paced trait that helps the author simulate the mood of his readers by providing that sudden rush of excitement, and exhilaration that eventually drive the narrative.
In answer to the other question, well, the only way I see my international experiences as informing this work is in my ability to free myself from being pigeonholed with a single idea or perspective; it goes a long way to inspire open-mindedness, which I consider healthy for creativity.
JV: Though fiction, your story resonates as timely and topical. How do you see this work as being relevant to the current political climate – and in what ways can fiction be a particularly effective vehicle for illuminating real-life issues?
AS: Literature must be relevant to its times. It must be both timely and timeless. It must resonate with the people and the period in which it is set, and contribute to the discourse, political or otherwise, as well as put events in their proper historical and social contexts. To that extent, I'm glad that this work comes across as topical. I would say it is relevant to the current social and political climate in that it doesn't shy away from exploring same. Fiction, used properly, can be a very effective vehicle for expounding on real-life issues because it can, by its nature, get away with many things. And it doesn't necessarily have to be politically correct.
JV: You have a background in journalism and poetry. How do these disciplines influence one another – and what appeals to you about alternating between them?
AS: Though my background in journalism definitely helps in terms of research etc., I generally try not to think as a journalist when engaged in literary writing. Journalists, as someone noted, can be a pretty soul-less bunch at times, and while they are great at communicating hard facts they are often less adept at expressing their feelings and their sensitivities. So, it's difficult to approach poetry, for example, with the mind-set of a journalist because sometimes with poetry you really must bare your soul. But poetry appeals to me because it brings out thoughts and expressions in ways that other genres suffer deficits. However, it is important to say that my background in both fields does not create any kind of contradiction, in fact, in a curious sort of way, it creates a mental balance for me.
JV: Leave us with a teaser: What comes next?
AS: A new book, of course; I am currently working on the first part of a trilogy that's a blend of Literary and Romantic Suspense.

About International Women's Day 2016
International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
International Women's Day (IWD) has been observed since in the early 1900's - a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. International Women's Day is a collective day of global celebration and a call for gender parity. No one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women's network or media hub is solely responsible for International Women's Day. Many organizations declare an annual IWD theme that supports their specific agenda or cause, and some of these are adopted more widely with relevance than others.
"The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to anyone organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights," says world-renowned feminist, journalist and social and political activist Gloria Steinem. International Women's Day is all about celebration,reflection, advocacy, and action - whatever that looks like globally at a local level. But one thing is for sure, International Women's Day has been occurring for over a century - and is growing annually from strength to strength.

Flashes of Emotion - the 2015 International Book Awards Finalist - a book of romantic poetry. It is both timely & timeless. It is a selection that allows the reader to tap into the poet's insights on a wide variety of topics from life and love to death and drudgery. Contemporary poetry with a classical edge, a 'must have' for anyone who has ever experienced love, pain, defeat, or joy ...
"A rare poetry collection" - Book Readers Review
Acclaim for Flashes of Emotion
"Author, poet, journalist Augustine Sam lives in Venice, Italy - that most romantic of all cities - and offers this collection of his poetry for romantics and those looking for meaning in the many challenges life offers. Augustine's poems glow with musical invention and the manner in which he elects to place his words on the page enhances the meaning and the beauty of these works...Liquid flowing music from a poet who understands passion. His eloquent poems speak to each of us as private as a whispered conversation. Brilliant."
- Grady Harp
Hall of Fame | Vine Voice
"Flashes of Emotion by Augustine Sam has a classical edge, yet feels current in its raw energy. Poetry, simply put, is not like this anymore, which makes it all together unique and refreshing. I enjoyed the deep description and rhythm as they are quite different from my own writing. You won't find words or thoughts like these at slams, or online, therefore it is well worth your time."
- Ben Ditmars
Author of Night Poems & Haiku in the Night
"Fifty-two poems, intellectual and emotional - Sam's vocabulary is large, as is his geography. You will find imagery, as in 'Italian Cemetery.' You will find relationship galore here, for example in 'Gestures & Allusions.' If you are looking for a sad love poem, turn to 'The Greatest Gift.' Sam's style may take a bit of getting used to, but that voice produced several favorites in my notes. Five stars it is, and extremely recommended."
- Jim Bennett
The Kindle Book Review
"Masculine, Effective & Pristine - In Augustine Sam's Flashes of Emotion, the use of language and allusions to cultural norms is masterful, while his tone plays the chasing dawn of a morning sun we're unwilling to wait and see. This collection affected me... those poems Augustine Sam rocked were outstanding. I recommend Flashes of Emotion to every poetry lover who wants love songs and outside angles from a tender, masculine perspective."
- Melissa Ratel
Vraeyda Media – Canada
"This collection deserved to be published. Its well-composed verses are a prime example of thought-provoking poetry—a marriage of Old World charm and modern day romance. A 'must have' for anyone who has ever experienced love, pain, defeat, or joy."
- Anna Marie Fritz
Author of The Dream Garden & Anna-Versery poetry series.
"Sam knows how to put across emotions and thoughts, and they resonate from every poem."
- Lit Amri
Readers' Favorite
"Creative, intriguing, and impressive."
- Gwen Dickerson

"Gems in an elegant setting."
- John Zimmerman
Silver Award bowl
"Journalists can be a pretty soul-less bunch at times, and while they are great at communicating hard facts they are generally less adept at expressing their feelings and their sensitivities. That's not true of all journalists, of course, and it certainly isn't true of Augustine Sam who has somehow managed to combine a career in mainstream journalism with an equally successful career as a creative writer and poet extraordinaire, picking up awards and accolades left, right and center for his amazing poems. This anthology allows us to tap into Augustine's insights on a wide variety of topics from life and love to death and drudgery - a collection that showcases this journo-poet's lively, refreshing, and innovative style."

Facebook is developing a helicopter to deliver internet access in emergencies
Meet the Tether-tenna
By Casey Newton / @CaseyNewton
Apr 19, 2017, 5:22 PM UTC |
Facebook is developing a small helicopter that can be deployed in emergencies to deliver internet access, the company said. Speaking at the F8 conference in San Jose today, the company said that the helicopter, dubbed "Tether-tenna," would provide "instant infrastructure" during times of crisis. "When completed, this technology will be able to be deployed immediately and operate for months at a time to bring back connectivity in case of an emergency," said Yael Maguire, who runs Facebook's Connectivity Lab, in a blog post.
Tether-tenna could be deployed in cases when cellular infrastructure was damaged but fiber lines in the area still work, Maguire said. In those instances, the helicopter will tether to a fiber line and electricity, and then rise hundreds of feet in the air to broadcast a signal.
Tether-tenna (Facebook)
It's not clear at this point whether Facebook would build a fleet of helicopters or work with telecom partners to build fleets of their own. The vehicle is about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, Maguire told Recode. "This is still in the early stages of development and lots of work is needed to ensure that it will be able operate autonomously for months at a time, but we're excited about the progress so far," Maguire said in his blog post.
On stage, Maguire said that in early tests Tether-tenna has operated for up to 24 hours continuously. Eventually, he said, he hopes it will be able to run for months at a time. But first they need to solve a variety of challenges, including surviving high winds and lightning. There are safety issues, too — Tether-tenna runs off a high-voltage cable.
Tether-tenna is one of a growing number of strategies Facebook is pursuing to ensure perpetual internet access around the world. Other initiatives discussed on stage today include Terragraph, which bolsters signals in dense urban environments, and Aquila, an effort to deliver internet via solar-powered drones.

This invitation for a bright and colourful Punjabi Delhi wedding was an exciting project. The brief was to create a colourful and unique invitation that had a keepsake element. We based the concept for the design on another invitation I had worked on earlier.
This invitation is a very detailed laser cut invite that can be used as a photo frame once the inserts are taken out. The laser cut makes the card look delicate and the choice of paper colours make it fun and bright.

Story From Cayuga Medical Center: Is It Really Asthma?
Asthma is often the go-to diagnosis when an individual has regular breathing issues during physical activity. But it's not always the right one.
Exercise gets the heart pumping and blood flowing. It prompts sweating and elicits faster breathing. When done right, exercise can leave you feeling simultaneously tired and exhilarated.
It's not unusual to have some difficulty breathing during exercise. In truth, about fifty percent of athletes suffer some form of breathlessness. Asthma is often the go-to diagnosis when an individual has regular breathing issues during physical activity.
Dr. Andrew Getzin, Clinical Director of Sports Medicine at Cayuga Medical Center and Director of Cayuga Medical Center's Shortness of Breath with Exercise Clinic, says it's not that simple and sheds light on a condition that may be mistaken for asthma. "Multiple high-quality studies have evaluated individuals with breathing tests before exercise and then measured their airway function after exercise, and it doesn't really correlate with a diagnosis of asthma," he says.
That wheezing you experienced in gym class may not actually be asthma. "Asthma is provoked by cold air," explains Dr. Getzin. "If discomfort wasn't worsened by the cold, you might not need that corticosteroid inhaler." However, only a complete diagnosis under the right conditions can tell for certain.
Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is a fairly common condition. Since the larynx is the pipeline from the mouth to the lungs, any breathing challenges can cause concern for the patient.
"What we find in some individuals is that the larynx in that upper airway actually narrows when they are breathing in. When they have an attack, it's usually on inspiration and comes on suddenly. It can feel like drowning. People are usually pretty freaked out," shares Dr. Getzin.
As with any diagnosis, objective evidence must be collected. A family and personal health history provides back-story, and a thorough physical exam helps ferret out other conditions that might cause or exacerbate breathing issues. Chest x-rays reveal any lung-related issues. Blood tests may inform other health insights.
"What's really important is to do a breathing test called spirometry," advises Dr. Getzin. "This is a very simple, inexpensive test that measures the amount of air people breathe in and out and how rapidly they can expire that air." Once breathing is measured, the larynx is examined.
The means of definitively diagnosing EILO is via camera. A laryngoscope is inserted through the nose to view the larynx. The patient exercises as the camera captures larynx reaction. "Just like in an objective evidence assessment for the asthma test, this objective test can visualize if the airway is narrowing," relays Dr. Getzin.
If you are given an EILO diagnosis, treatment doesn't involve carrying an inhaler in your pocket, neither does it necessitate medications or surgery in most cases. In fact, most patients with EILO respond very well to speech therapy. Specific techniques modify the pressure in the upper airway and ultimately allow patients to breathe better.

Entertainment: Shahid Kapoor's 'Ishq Vishk' Co-star Shenaz Reveals She And Amrita Rao Did Not Get Along
Shahid Kapoor made his acting introduction with the Bollywood film Ishq Vishk in 2003. The entertainer worked with Amrita Rao and Shenaz Treasury. While Shenaz and Shahid didn't have an issue in getting along, Shenaz thought that it is hard to become friends with Amrita Rao.
Shenaz Treasury on working with Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao
In a new meeting with The Indian Express, Shenaz Treasury discussed her acting days in Ishq Vishk.

Kåfjord Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Gáivuotna–Kåfjord Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Olderdalen. It is the church for the Kåfjord parish which is part of the Nord-Troms prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The red, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1949 using plans drawn up by the architect Kirsten Sand. The church seats about 250 people.

History
The first chapel building in Kåfjord was built in 1722 in connection with the Sami mission led by Thomas von Westen. It was known as the Finnekapellet. The chapel was about  long and it was used until around the year 1800. After that time, residents would travel to the Lyngen Church, about  down the fjord. It wasn't until 1949 when Kåfjord its first official church building. Kåfjord Church was built on the initiative of the inhabitants of the village of Olderdalen who collected funds and reused materials to build it. The church was renovated in 1989-1990.

Daniel Promislow
Biological Sciences, Health Sciences
Daniel began his career in biology as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. He completed his doctoral work in evolutionary biology with Paul Harvey at Oxford University. After post-doctoral work in Paris, at Queen's University in Ontario, and at the University of Minnesota, in 1995 he joined the faculty in the Department of Genetics at the University of Georgia. Daniel joined the University of Washington Department of Pathology in the summer of 2013. Daniel is broadly interested in evolutionary genetics, with specific projects on senescence, sexual selection, natural genetic variation, and the evolution of networks.
Throughout his career Daniel has been interested in genetic variation in patterns of aging in natural populations, and he has ongoing projects on flies, dogs, marmosets and humans. The study of aging provides a powerful framework with which to better understand the evolutionary forces acting upon the organism at all levels of organization, from behavior and demography to large-scale molecular networks. In the past few years, Daniel has turned to high-throughput approaches as a way to understand the mechanisms that underlie natural variation for patterns of aging. His first effort to apply network thinking to aging, dating to 2004, involved a comparison of the network structure of yeast protein-protein interaction networks. Daniel found that proteins associated with longevity in yeast had higher connectivity than other proteins. Work in the ensuing decade has shown similar patterns in flies and even in humans. In another study, Daniel found that connectivity of the yeast gene regulatory network was able to predict the degree of variability in gene expression among different environments.
More recently, in collaboration with Dean Jones, a biochemist at Emory University, Daniel has been using high-dimensional metabolomic profiling to study the molecular networks that are associated with patterns of aging. The Jones lab has developed a method to identify over 50,000 unique metabolomics features in small samples of human plasma, approximately two orders of magnitude more than standard metabolomics approaches. As part of an NIH-funded multi-PI grant, Daniel and Dean are looking at metabolomics patterns and age in the common marmoset. However, starting with a pilot project funded by the American Federation of Aging Research, they began using metabolomics in our fly work. They are able to obtain measures of over 30,000 unique mz features from a sample of three flies (~3 mg). Our recent (unpublished) studies on diet restriction and aging in fruit flies suggest that monoamine neurotransmitters play an important role in the diet restriction response. This work is an excellent example of how high-throughput data discovery approaches can generate novel and testable hypotheses. Daniel is currently writing an NIH proposal to fund this work in collaboration with Emory and the Buck Institute.
Daniel has joined the Department of Pathology at UW after almost two decades on the faculty at the University of Georgia.


Here's a lesson we should adopt from Olympic ice skaters: they receive more points for attempting a difficult jump and falling than they do from downgrading the jump to something easier and landing perfectly. Why isn't that the norm in our entire society. Let's reward and celebrate one another for daring greatly and failing rather than taking the easy path.

I woke up in my car after a quick 5 hours of sleep. My plans were to get an early start to meet an old friend at Guadalupe Mountains National Park to begin a one night backpacking trek up the mountains. I thought it was extremely strange the floodlight was still on at the neighbors picnic site. When I drove away I got a better look at what was going on and they had a sheet set up and catching hundreds of moths and other incontinent insects. I've heard of black-lighting but I've never seen anyone just pull in hoards of moths to sift through the next day. That's what I assume their plan was anyways.
I began my drive out of the Davis Mountains and my draw dropped as soon as I noticed the must stunning dawn moon rise I've ever seen. I stopped my car on the small highway (there definitely wasn't anyone else on the road at this time) and took a few pictures that came out amazing. You might hear a lot of photographers (or amateurs) say they're not doing any justice but I'd say these do a pretty damn nice job.
Right at the Interstate 10 intersection I saw an old gas station that was tagged with "NO NUCLEAR WASTE AQUI" and it reminded me very much of the book I had just begun at Balmorhea. Edward Abbey's the Monkey Wrench Gang.
I stopped in Van Horn to buy emergency warm clothes (socks and a flannel shirt) after I realized I might be dealing with some actual cold weather and the whole world wasn't stuck in Hill Country hell (this was one of the major reasons for my trip, mind you.). I made it to the park and found Romey at his campsite. I met Romey when I first started bird watching in college. I looked up the Wildlife Society group on campus and found he was president. We slowly became friends and I ended up learning a lot from him about wildlife and biology and having some very memorable experiences volunteering with his field work at Palmetto State Park. Since we've both been long gone from school we haven't seen each other much but always commented on each others adventures and noted it'd be fun to do some West Texas hiking together. The stars just happened to align this week and we ended up having a really nice time catching up on our lives and Romey did a lot of catching up on the trail ;) Romey's friend, Lee, also joined us.
I hopped back and forth between the ranger station and their campsite gathering details to obtain our back country permit while the other two finished packing their bags and closing camp. Eventually we got on the trail and on our way to the Pine Top camp area of the Bowl.
I don't backpack very much, I'm usually very fond of lightweight day hikes, I mean, I think I've only ever really done it maybe 4 times now. This go around I tried some very minimal packing and had a nice single-person tent and even with 6 liters of water my pack only weighed 40 lbs. I was very happy with my setup and this was the first time I ever felt backpacking was a reasonable thing to do. Halfway up I switched to my wide angle lens because I was tired of not capturing the entire vistas in one frame. That night I would be very happy I brought that second lens!
Our hike speed for the group was a pretty slow. Moving at that speed kept my fatigue to an absolute minimum. I would stop at the few shade trees to let everyone catch up. After one last particularly long break (30 minutes) I put the burners on. I blazed the rest of the climb and finally got a nice burn and workout. When Romey finally reached the end he made a comment about it being "amazing to watch me speed walk up that entire stretch." It was flattering of course. I hiked at my hyper speed for the rest of my vacation.
To avoid bringing a stove with fuel I tried bringing "slow perishables" and just had bland veggie tacos for dinner. I didn't bring a plate, I only had a pocket knife on my key chain, but those things are luxuries anyways right? I was reasonably satisfied with my choice. Shout out to Rebekkah on the tacos, but she doesn't know they were inspired by her when we ate similar tacos at the Barton Creek Preserve.
After dinner wrapped up we were all considerably worn out but Lee and I strapped our lights on and went to the nearby overlook to take some pictures and look at the stars. There was definitely more light pollution and air traffic here in the Guads versus the Davis Mountains the night before, but it was breathtaking nonetheless. For the portraits we did 25 seconds exposures with about a second of headlamp shined on us at the beginning. I was very pleased when Lee's shot of me came out even better than the one I took of him (he aimed the light better). I got to rehash everything I learned from the Star Party and saw some more Perseid meteors. It felt great to be up there. I also had a funny scare when I lost my balance posing in the dark on the edge of that overlook. I threw all of my weight immediately forward and down to the ground and just started laughing. It wasn't a sheer cliff hundreds of feet down, but it would have definitely been a bad time going over the edge.
Hi Stephen, Thanks for including me on your blog! Great images, and I am enjoying reading about your adventures. I was at Balmorhea, Fort Davis, Marfa and the area a week before you went. So incredibly GREEN out there! Did you stop at the Interpretive Center at the Fort Davis State Park on your way to the mountain top? They have a fabulous bird blind and tons of birds coming in to the feeders and water feature. Glad we stopped there - got some new ideas for my backyard birding. Have fun - be careful - and I'm looking forward to the rest of your posts.
Hey Stephen! Thanks for notifying me of the new posts to the Adventure blog. Great photos, I like the selfie with the mountains and the big blue sky. So did you use the flannel shirt? It looks chilly.
Sounds like a great time. I'm wondering how challenging the trail would be for a lightweight like me who would not be 'blazing'?

Don't miss this star-studded catalog with some of the biggest names in music: Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Pretty Ricky, Trick Daddy, Missy Elliott, Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, Jamie Foxx, and many more.
What's impressive is that this catalog's top-five earning tracks date from 2004 to 2017. This means the catalog has a Dollar Age of approximately 12 years. (Read more about Dollar Age and why it's important here). Not only have these songs generated royalties for upwards of twelve years, but the royalties are growing!
Another compelling feature of this offering is that each income source is seeing year-over-year growth. Mechanical and public performance royalties both increased in the last 12 months at 37% and 6%, respectively. Sync royalties also saw impressive growth, thanks to traditional sync placements (in TV/Film and commercials), as well as strong YouTube revenue.
The catalog's highest-earning song is 2005's Platinum single "Grind With Me" from R&B group Pretty Ricky. The single saw crossover success hitting No. 7 on Billboard's Hot 100, No. 6 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and No. 17 on the Top 40. "Grind With Me" saw impressive growth in the last year thanks to rising YouTube royalties (noted as sync) and increased mechanicals. This catalog also boasts five additional tracks from Pretty Ricky, including "Your Body," which saw growth in its royalties year-over-year.
This offering also features "Let's Go" from Trick Daddy featuring Lil Jon and Twista, accounting for 18% of last year's income. The 2004 hit has enjoyed a variety of syncs over the years including the comedy Neighbors (2014), in addition to a recent commercial for the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Finally, this catalog boasts diverse distribution in both age and income distribution amongst its songs. From 2017, there is "I'm Better" from Missy Elliott and "Find The Love" from Mary J. Blige. There is also Chris Brown's 2011 hit "Wet The Bed," along with Lil Wayne's "Best Rapper Alive" from 2005. The highest-earning song — "Grind With Me" — only accounts for 22% of historic income. This means the catalog's earnings are not tied to the success of a single track and provide built-in diversification.
Key Drivers
Dollar Age. This collection of songs has a Dollar Age of approximetely 12 years. This means the majority of royalties earned in the last 12 months came from songs that have collected royalties for more than four years. A high Dollar Age like this suggests stability and longevity.
The highest-earning track — "Grind With Me" — was released in 2005, and royalties continue to grow thanks to steady mechanical and rising sync income. A catalog containing mature works with consistent (and even growing earnings) is something worth noting as an investor. This can help sustain a catalog's earnings moving forward.
Income Mix. The winner of this auction can receive income in various ways:
Mechanical: Royalties paid to songwriters and artists when music is sold (think CD or vinyl) but also when music is streamed (streaming mechanicals) "on-demand" (like Spotify).
The US Copyright Royalty Board recently raised the rates digital music services must pay for mechanical royalties by nearly 44% over the next 5 years. Historically, this catalog has earned the majority (43T%) of its revenue from mechanical royalties. As the winner of this auction, you will benefit from the mechanical rate increases over the next five years.
Performance: Royalties paid to songwriters when music is performed publicly. Music played over the radio, in a restaurant or bar, or over a service like Spotify or Pandora is considered a public performance.
Public performance earnings are the third-largest source for this catalog. However, earnings have been steadily on the rise since 2014.
Synchronization: Royalties paid to songwriters and publishers for the licensing of a song in music for a movie, TV show, or commercial or when music is played on YouTube.
This catalog has benefitted from traditional syncs many times over the past five years, with placements in TV series, feature films, and commercials. This demonstrates the catalog's still-relevant sync potential. In fact, "Let's Go" was just recently synced in another video game — Gears 5 — commercial released in June 2019 that has not yet been paid out. As the winning bidder, you'll be entitled to any upfront sync fees going forward.
MATCHING RIGHT
This seller's publisher holds a matching right on any sale of the income generated by this catalog. The publisher will have the opportunity to match the winning bid after this auction closes. If you are the winning bidder, the publisher must first decline their matching right before you will be able to complete your purchase. For more information on how the matching right works, please email: info@royaltyexchange.com.

Public performance royalties are payments made by radio stations, hotels, restaurants, night clubs, etc. to the composition copyright holder(s) for each public performance of the copyrighted work. In the U.S., public performance royalties are typically paid to performing rights organizations (e.g., ASCAP, BMI) who then distribute the royalties to the copyright holder(s).
Mechanical royalties are royalties deriving from per-unit payments made by recording companies or digital download providers to the composition copyright holder(s) for every purchase of a sound recording that reproduces the copyrighted composition.
mechanical royalties
Non-interactive digital performance royalties are payments made by non-interactive music services (i.e. those that mimic the experience of a radio broadcast) of a statutorily-set amount (on either a per-play or annual basis—depending on the type of service) to SoundExchange for the benefit of the sound recording copyright holder and the performing artists for the right to perform the copyrighted sound recording via non-interactive, digital means.
non-interactive digital performance royalties
The royalties owed to the creator(s) of a musical composition which are paid in return for the right to reproduce, distribute, or perform the copyrighted work.
songwriter's share
A musical composition is one of the two copyrightable parts of a recorded song. It consists of the song's music, including any accompanying words, (i.e. the portion of a song that is capable of being fully expressed as sheet music) and is separate from any particular recording of the song or its performance by any particular artist.
A sound recording is one of the two copyrightable portions of a recorded song. It results from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds in a tangible (at least momentarily permanent) medium.
The portion of royalties owed to the owner of a sound recording. The owner may the performing artist, the producer, or another party (such as a record label) who contractually acquired the ownership of the copyrighted work (e.g., through a recording agreement), owns it by virtue of an employer-employee relationship with the creator(s) of the work, or specially commissioned the work.
rights owner's share
The portion of royalties owed to the performers of a sound recording in return for the right to perform the copyrighted work via non-interactive, digital services (e.g., Pandora, Spotify).
artist's share
The portion of royalties owed to the music publisher which are paid in return for the right to reproduce, distribute, or perform a copyrighted musical composition, arising from a contractual obligation (i.e. a publishing agreement) or employer-employee relationship with the creator of composition (i.e. the songwriter(s)).
publisher's share
If an asset requires splitting up a catalog by works or percentages, Royalty Exchange may need to provide royalty accounting services to the buyer, seller, or both. This is because the royalty distributor may not be able to split royalties as intended by the asset transfer. Royalty Exchange's involvement helps to ensure accurate royalty payments. It also helps assure buyers and sellers that they are not missing out on potential earnings.
The accounting process often involves manual spreadsheet work and coordinating with royalty distributors. Royalty Exchange's goal is for the accounting service to be temporary. We plan to work with distributors to find solutions that will allow us to revert accounting and payment obligations back to the distributor, removing ourselves from the process. In the meantime, we've instituted the 5% fee to help offset costs in the manual accounting.
Please see the sample accounting agreement document for reference.
