Is this some dark twisted fantasy or has the Weeknd simply figured out how to put out the right mixer with a little help from Kanye West.
The Weeknd just dropped a new video for the Kanye infused ‘Tell Your Friends’ and it’s a straight up reminder that this is the same guy we heard back when he was ‘High For This’. Uncompromising, he’s keeping it pure but ready to go for gold or more like Platinum in his case and take what’s his – ‘I don’t drink my liquor with a chasin’, And money is the only thing I’m chasin’. This is dark back to back film noir style double bill where the video features two tracks from the forthcoming album ‘BBTM’ – ‘Tell Your Friends’ and ‘Real Life’.
The Weeknd is ready to live his destiny and declare ‘I absolutely wanna be the biggest in the world’ and he’s telling you to go ‘Tell Your Friends’ about it.
Beauty Behind The Madness is out Friday.

I sold out first weekend.
Jewelry: I sold a bunch but still have plenty more!
To sum it up, the pottery was a hit. That entire element of my booth is gone!
Now I’m left trying to figure out what happened? I had dropped my mug price from $40 to $30 and the ornament price-point was between $15-$18. They flew off the shelves! Did I price them too low? or just right? …I don’t know! I’m still kind of sitting here in shock?!? I still have three events to attend. Did I over-do it and sign up for too many events or was this a fluke?
What I do know, is that I am incredibly thankful. This only happened because people were kind enough to come out and invest in my handmade things. What’s also nice is that tiny tinge of panic in my belly has gone away. You know that crappy little voice that resides in your gut shooting out terrible thoughts like: “Have I made the right choices?”, “Are these items good enough to put out there to the public?”, “will anyone come?” “will I sit at my booth for 6 hours not selling anything”…oh the list goes on with the yucky thoughts one’s brain can spew… I get to shut that down, stick out my tongue and say to the nagging voice – SHOVE IT!
So from here on in, my booth will be a jewelry booth.
And I plan on relaxing a little bit. Technically I’ve got done what I need to do. Now I can enjoy and have fun and not take myself so seriously?
What a terrible photo. Everything is crammed in a dark hallway. I wouldn’t have posted, but I kinda said I would. Ha!
With that said, every teeny-tiny item has been priced and labeled. I’ve got my concept down. I will need to set up within one hour tomorrow.
Today may have been rough, but I am now READY. A week before Black Friday.
Just picked these up …Better go add them to my booth!
Deep breath… looks like an over whelming mess!
Let’s see what I can do here…I’ll check in in a couple hours!

Eric Osiakwan visited the Berkman Center yesterday from Ghana, by way of Stanford University. He’s an old friend from the Ghana ISP scene, one of the founders of GISPA (the Ghana ISP association) and currently is acting as executive secretary of AFRISPA (the African ISP Owners Association), the leading trade group for ISPs on the African continent.
Eric is a Reuters Digital Vision fellow and is focusing on questions of fiber and wireless internet and telecommunications access in Africa. Learning from the successes and failures of internet and telecom projects in Africa over the past decade, Eric is advocating for a model of infrastructure development in Africa that favors small business ISPs and NSPs over formerly state-owned telecom incumbents.
There’s a widespread perception that telecom privatization in Africa has failed. This is true, but it doesn’t mean that private infrastructure is a bad thing – just that incumbent operators have been disastrously managed and are crippled by overstaffing. Eric said more than once, “Supporting the incumbents is a dead end.” Eric doesn’t consider them “worthwhile investment vehicles”.
Any model that works in Africa has to be a shared access model. African telecom was built around phone shops, where multiple users shared one phone. As a result, Africans were well prepared to accept the idea of shared access in cybercafes. This same idea needs to be embraced as we think about building infrastructure for the continent.
The startup costs of models need to be considered as well. Eric points to BusyInternet, one of my favorite success stories in Africa – while Busy has been hugely successful, it required a $2m investment to start it up, a condition that’s unrealistic for most African internet operations.
Demand for communication services in Africa is a benefit and a challenge. While GSM services have grown at a stunning rate in Africa – 20 -35% annual growth in the past few years – operators are now having difficulty handling their customer base. Eric points to SpaceFon, another one of my favorite companies, and mentions that, while they’ve now got an amazing 1 million subscribers in Ghana (a nation of only 18 million people!), their network is starting to experience prolonged failures. Eric thinks that GSM operators are going to need a strong IP backbone to link their points of presence to be able to succeed on a large scale.
Eric’s a big supporter of Internet exchange points, both nationally and regionally, and points to an IDRC-sonsored study, prepared by Russell Southwood, which suggests possible voice and data savings of $400m a year across Africa if IXPs were properly implemented.
Based on lessons learned, Eric’s recommendation is for a “horizontal layering of communications infrastructure”, which allows SMEs to compete with larger providers on the network. Basically, he’s supportive of a network that’s technology neutral, transparent, interconnected and allows small players to rent infrastructure from larger players to offer services. This said, Eric feels like Africa needs fiber – lots more fiber – to satisfy the demands of consumers at a high quality level. He’s interested in a number of regional and cross-continental cables interconnecting the SAT-3 and EASSy cables which link Africa to the outside world.
Here, I think Eric’s being a bit conservative. One of the great successes of African telecom has been the growth of wireless services, both for voice and data. We spend some time talking about interesting technologies for running data over 50km via terrestrial wireless and about new low-cost phone technologies like CorDect and CDMA 450. That said, Eric also points out that fiber has gotten much cheaper, and that there are a number of situations, like the Volta River Authority situation in Ghana where fiber exists and is unused.
The critical unanswered question in Eric’s proposal is “who’s going to pay for this?” While laying fiber is much cheaper than it used to be, the costs are still substantial and it’s unlikely that most African SMEs will be able to raise capital to lay fiber. Eric suggests a possible model in which the World Bank lends money to SMEs to purchase fiber, requiring companies to take their companies public and repay the loans in shares, which then return to a funding pool. It’s an interesting proposal, but one fraught with possible complications – does SBC or France Telecom get to lean on the World Bank for this sort of financing? Who determines how much money is neccesary to lay cable, and how big the loans should be? I’m looking forward to hearing Eric’s answers to these questions as he develops the idea further.

NEW YORK -- A woman was struck and killed by a piece of debris that flew off a Greenwich village construction site during Tuesday's high winds.
The 37-year-old was walking and talking on her cell phone when she was struck on West 12th Street at 5:50 p.m.
She was on the north side of the block, passing the entrance to a parking lot entrance, when a 4-by-8 sheet of plywood, separated from the security fence across the street.
The wind blew the plywood across the street striking the woman and causing her to hit her head on the wall of a parking garage.
She was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.

The Swedish Tourist Association created the “Swedish Number” to draw interest in the country by allowing everyday Swedes to act as ambassadors of that nation. Choose a country you’ve never visited before but are interested in, and write a personal essay exploring what you would ask if given the opportunity for a ten-minute chat with one of its citizens. Then turn the focus on yourself, speculating on the specific reasons for your curiosity. Would you instinctively approach the conversation as an opportunity for a political discussion or a personal one? What would you say if you were called to be an ambassador of your own country?

With the season of gifts upon us, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. For instance, over the past few years, the kids have kept the same two large woven baskets for their things. One for stuffed animals. One for plastic and hard toys. There’s another basket in the living room for wooden train pieces and wooden blocks passed down to us when River was a year by our old landlady. There’s one more basket for the Legos, tucked under Oak’s bed, as he claims them the most. Despite my best efforts to turn it into a full toy closet, their walk-in closet only consists of a metal shopping cart River got three or four years ago one Christmas, roller-skates, two tiny woven baskets we use every birthday and holiday, and a wooden box of sweaters for the season upon us. There’s a small stack of puzzles, too. And Oak’s retired closet across the room, has turned into a spot to hide the thrifted basket that has all their dress-up stuff. When guests arrive, I move the basket and leave the closet clear for them to hang their things.
While this is a small amount in the grand scale of my apartment, sometimes, these things can feel large. The “large” times are when the kids don’t play with them and the same favorite toys remain in rotation. I love that they have their favorites. I love that their favorites are often worn-down and broken, and used for a multitude of things and play an enormous amount of characters.
My own memories of Christmas are grand. I wrote long and colorful lists, full of things I loved from commercials or the newspaper catalog. I want that same grand feeling for my children.I loved it all, but with every Christmas, I can only really remember the “big” thing I wanted. One year, It was an Easy Bake Oven. Another, a Barbie Dream house. My point: when it comes to my children, I want to continue to stick to the big things. And I don’t mean just big in size, I mean what really matters. So that the bottom tear of things just don’t hang around for an unforeseeable about of time. For instance: I normally love gifting them books, but because the kids have been getting allowance and go to the bookstore most weekends, we are stocked up with new books. So I’ll stick to new pajamas I know they’ll love and need, instead. As much as I love to gift books, I won’t for the sake of it. This applies to toys too, of course.
Whether in a small space or a big space, I know it is easy to accumulate things this holidays season. So my best advice is to always look at what your children want and need. Chances are, if you’re reading this, you’re kids don’t need much. And chances are, their wants can be marked into big and small in size and in meaning. It’s good to look at their room with this idea before bringing new things in. It’s even better, when shopping and receiving this season. Any tips of your own?
Wonderful reminders this time of year. Thank you for sharing your thought process on this!
Thank you so much for reading, Cori!
I am not sure how I stumbled upon your blog or added you but I have become mesmerized by your keen insights, inspired by your joy and happiness which surrounds all you see and how interpretive all your thoughts are!!! I will continue to read all you write and your book is in my “wish list” for Christmas. May you continue to inspire all and have a very joyous holiday season.

City had won convincingly against Tottenham Hotspurs on Saturday, leaving their fate in the hands of United team waiting to engage the Baggies the next day.
Manchester City ended their three-match losing run with a convincing win over Tottenham at Wembley Stadium.
Mourinho said his players were "masters in complicated football".
United, its nearest contender, had been expected to cut that back to 13 - with five games to play - on Sunday.
West Brom had dropped 8 of the past nine matches and then last won on January 1-3.
The Dutch youngster later apologised in person to Vettel and to his Red Bull team on social media. "I think he got it". I left a little bit of room as well", Vettel told Sky Sports . "I was expecting him to come earlier".
But Jay Rodriguez's goal in the 73rd minute gave West Brom a glimmer of hope as they are now nine points off safety with 12 to play for. Everything was slow, everything was one more touch, one more flick, one more trick, one more turn, ball lost and no continuity or fluidity in our football.
West Brom finished with their backs to the wall but had chances of their own, and Jake Livermore had earlier tested David De Gea with arguably the best opportunity before the break.
West Brom caretaker coach Darren Moore praised his staff and players after they produced one of the upsets of the Premier League season, beating Man Utd 2-1 at Old Trafford. I was unfortunate enough to play against that quality United side that dominated in the '90s, but this side would have beaten them - that's how good they are.
"We deserve top be punished, but the defeat was too heavy".
The Baggies official Twitter account tweeted a graphic on the full time whistle showing the score accompanied by a photograph of Jay Rodriguez celebrating his goal. He name-checked eight games - Milan against Napoli, Schalke against Borussia Dortmund, Celtic against Rangers, P.S.V. Eindhoven against Ajax - but not the one that could decide the title.
Maria was used three times in the Atlantic and three times in the Western Pacific, while Nate was also used three times. Life in Puerto Rico is still far from normal after a worst-case scenario strike from Hurricane Maria in mid-September.
Pep Guardiola insists Manchester City's run in UCL, which ended in the quarterfinals, does not make them flops. He could not train. "What I say to the players, and what they show, every game, it that it is not done".
Recently, Gardner and Justice officials have been in discussions for months to get the holds lifted. Trump's backing is seen as key to getting a bill by Congress.
The group then proceeded to power through several of their mammoth hits, including "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "It's My Life". Her brother, Sam Waymon, accepted the induction on his sister's behalf. "Writing it was therapeutic for me", Bon Jovi said.
Trump's ambiguous statement on the pardon adds fuel to the fire regarding speculation that the pardon means something deeper. Fitzgerald asked the court to release her from jail in September 2005, she was summoned to testify before the grand jury.
In 1991, a court found Ms Madikizela-Mandela guilty of the boy's kidnapping and assault and sentenced her to six years in jail. Winnie Mandela is celebrated for holding together Nelson Mandela's shared dream for an anti-apartheid South Africa.
And then he said 'I am stating publicly that I will call a special session to pass a properly balanced budget'. In all, 88 of the 90 Republicans in the General Assembly voted against the Republican governor on the budget.

I am working with an array which holds 8 WD hard drives in a RAID 5 configuration, and is used by the business to record transactions from a number of computers. The problems started with reports from the computer that the array was not working correctly. Sometimes it would be one of the drives disconnecting, another time it would be one of the drives failing completely. I had to try and do a rebuild in order to save most of the data, and so I replaced 2 of the disks in the array. This seemed fine for a couple of weeks, and data was once more being recorded to the server. The IT expert upstairs then the motherboard, increasing capacity, and did not power off the array or any of the connected computers during this flash. Ever since then, I have had a problem with mounting the array onto the server. The RAID 5 controller can be seen in BIOS and in device manager, but I am not able to see it in Windows 7 Drive management, and I can’t see any of the drives connected to the server. I have tried powering down and rebooting, and the array is still unmountable. I cannot think of any more tests to run.
I am using an HP server which has an array connected to it. In the array are three drives, and I have also created a series of partitions over the array. One of the partitions contains 50gb of space, and is a RAID 0. The other partition has 250gb, and was until recently a RAID 5 setup. What has happened is that I have copied some files onto the second, larger partition, and then deleted the RAID 5 setup using some power tools, as I wanted to slightly change the way that the disks were performing. However, when I went to look in the volume, I can only see around 50gb of data, and no other parts of the volume. I decided that I needed to remove the RAID 0 too, and was then told that the RAID 0 has 250gb of memory, and that the files are corrupted. I have not been able to recover either of the partitions, which I hoped would solve this problem. It seems as though the RAID setups have somehow become swapped, and that the data which I copied to the second partition has gone.

WARNING: Tweets featured in this piece contain strong language.
During his first speech before a crowd of employees, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Dr. Ben Carson, made an indelicate reference, calling African salves "immigrants."
"That’s what America is about--a land of dreams and opportunity. There were immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder, for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."
In 1987, Dr. Carson made medical history with an operation to separate a pair of Siamese twins. The Binder twins were born joined at the back of the head. Operations to separate twins joined in this way had always failed, resulting in the death of one or both of the infants. Carson agreed to undertake the operation. A 70-member surgical team, led by Dr. Carson, worked for 22 hours. At the end, the twins were successfully separated and can now survive independently.
...other surgical innovations have included the first intra-uterine procedure to relieve pressure on the brain of a hydrocephalic fetal twin, and a hemispherectomy, in which an infant suffering from uncontrollable seizures has half of its brain removed. This stops the seizures, and the remaining half of the brain actually compensates for the missing hemisphere."
Despite his incredible education, and razor sharp intellect, Dr. Carson isn't the most eloquent man. Referring to slaves as "immigrants" isn't his first verbal blunder, and it likely won't be his last. However, one must read Carson's comments in context, and in this case, listen to them in order to examine the way in which they were delivered.
"Every one of the children born in our nation is a treasure, and it's someone for us to develop. And if we develop their potential, they become part of the engine and not part of the load. And every human being--regardless of their ethnicities, their background--they have a brain. The human brain. There is nothing in this universe that even begins to compare with the human brain, and what it is capable of. Billions and billions of neurons; hundreds of billions of interconnections. It remembers everything you've ever seen, everything you've ever heard.
So we need to concentrate a little less on what we can't do, and a little more on what we can do. After all, this is America. This used to be known as the 'can-do' society. Not the 'what can you do for me' society--but the 'can do' society. And there is a lot that we can do if we are simply willing to reach outside of ourselves and recognize that each person, all of our fellow man, all of our fellow Americans, we are one. It's called the United States of America. Think about that the next time you want to be mean to somebody--because there's no reason to do it.
And go to Ellis Island one of these days if you haven't been there. Go to the museum on Ellis Island, and look at the pictures of all those people who are hanging up there; from every part of the world, many of them carrying all their earthly belongings in their two hands, not knowing what this country held for them. Look at the determination in their eyes. People who work not five days a week, but six or seven days a week; not eight hours a day, but 10, 12, 16 hours a day. No such thing as a minimum wage. They work not for themselves, but for their sons and their daughters, and their grandsons and their granddaughters--that they might have an opportunity in this land. That's what America is about: a land of dreams and opportunity.
There were immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder, for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.
And do you know, of all the nations in this world, this one, the United States of America, is the only one big enough and great enough to allow all of those people to realize their dream. And this is our opportunity to enhance that dream."
Taken in context, what Ben Carson said may have been inelegant, but it wasn't untrue. Slaves were indeed sold into captivity, and transported to the United States. They weren't traditional immigrants--and it's doubtful Carson thinks that--but they were, in the most technical sense, immigrants.
In all likelihood, slaves did hope for the future of their children, and their children's children. Eventually, those dreams were realized and ratified in the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. They were fought for during Jim Crow, and advanced during the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Those dreams continue to progress and evolve even today.
The point Carson was making was that every human being, regardless of their race, creed, religion, national origin, or genetic makeup, has the right to life, and the opportunity to live a life of importance.
Samuel L. Jackson can call Ben Carson an "Uncle Tom" all he wants, and others can slam the doctor for his remarks regarding African slaves, but his point shouldn't be lost in the fog of an inarticulate moment, for it is an important one.
We are a nation that values human life at all stages, and in all forms, and we understand that in the United States, everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their goals. To excoriate Carson--not for his message, but for his inelegant word choices--is to engage in the most shallow form of thinking.

Bye, bye 2018, welcome 2019! Another year ahead with plenty of great opportunities awaiting for us to invest to (or at least I hope so!). But before that, I better organise my ‘messy’ portfolio to see what has been delivered this year and what I am planning to do for 2019.
2018 has been a revolutionary year for me, I added a high percentage of my savings into my investment portfolio and battled the fear to be invested. I have no regrets so far after seeing the results.
Algotechs, Vanguard and Grupeer are my three biggest money holders. By mid year, I decided that diversifying across multiple platforms would be beneficial to lower risks and improve my passive income. I started with Mintos and Crowdestate, at the same time in August, and Envestio and Fast Invest, a few months later.
My main passive income streams are from P2P lending platforms, bond funds, rental income and index funds dividends. The chart is picking up momentum since I started investing with crowdfunding platforms back in February. Only 4.4% of 2018 earnings are passive income, I would like to increase it by 10%, reaching an approximate value of 700€ per month by the end of 2019.
Not a bad month for Algotechs, returns are above 5% but below the 2018 monthly average of 7.5%. The EUR/USD exchange has been very volatile this year and this is exactly what this algotrading software likes (and explains the great returns). I withdrew 3000€ from my trading account, however, the funds are blocked in a Danish bank for the time being. The value declines 622€ compared to last month.
Stocks got hammered, and so did my Vanguard ISA account, dropping -1093£ in December. News that the Federal Reserve would continue its planned interest rate hikes, a government shutdown loomed and disappointing financial results spooked investors. S&P 500 dropped up to -20% from its all-time high level and bounced back to recover a few points. The index drops -6.4% in 2018.
Luckily for me, I follow a 50/50 portfolio policy, 50% bonds and 50% stocks, as Benjamin Graham recommends to defensive investors. Therefore, my ISA beats the market and gains 0.04% for 2018. Thanks Graham!
Global Value Factor UCITS ETF (VVAL) funds.
December is the third best month for Property Partner since inception, +£68 into the pocket. I sold my shares of Golden Hill Fort, Isle of Wight at a 13% premium price with a total return of £19.41. I also deposited £499 to purchase shares of the new listing property opportunity posted a few days ago. It offers a 6.72% rental yield and the transaction fees are reduced by 50% until the 3th of January.
I wrote my first review of Property Partner after one year of investing sharing my results and opinions here.
Average earnings this month for Housers, the Spanish real estate platform. The returns are generally lower because it automatically deducts taxes from income. Also, part of my funds are invested in what the platform calls buy-to-sell opportunities, which means I will get the returns once the properties have been sold. Some of these projects are near the end of term and I expect a rise in earning soon.
I received delayed rental income from Estadio Nacional, as usual. As a consequence, I am selling my shares in the marketplace, as I am neither happy with the payment delays nor the monthly rent agreed on the tenancy contract, making the current annual yield lower than the previously estimated. So far, 150 shares are sold and reinvested in the last two development loans, and 150 remain in the marketplace for selling.
Housers is currently offering 25€ cash back after a minimum of 50€ first investment, if using this link (I get another 25€ too). I plan to write a review on Housers in February after one year of investing.
returned to my account as a principal payment from a business loan. I wanted to transfer this money to Envestio but no opportunities are available at the moment. According to Envestio support, they have ongoing negotiations with new projects owners, and perhaps, new opportunities will be presented starting from January. This is not exactly what I wanted to hear, so I reinvested the funds in Grupeer’s well-known development project, Promenada (final stage) with a 14% interest rate. A few investments will finalise in the upcoming months and I will have some more chances to diversify.
This is my 5th month with Mintos, and my impressions are positive. I was reluctant at first but I began with the Mintos secured loan strategy. It located most of my funds in Mogo cars and mortgatge loans with an 8% net annual return. I gave myself some time to learn how Mintos works and how to use its auto-invest tool properly. The returns are now at 9.14% and should keep improving as my auto-invest is set to buy short-term loans at 12% with buybacks guarantee.
Inger Hotel, Narva, Ida-Virumaa, 20306 with a 12% interest, monthly payments, secured debt and risk class A2.
As in Housers, some of the projects only pay interest at the end of the maturity loan (bullet repayment). After one year of investing I should get a better approach to the real rate of return.
I opened accounts with Mintos and Crowestate at the same time, I am looking forward to see which platform will deliver better results in 1 or 2 years term.
And the best crowdfunding performer is… Envestio! The realised return is already 4.25% since account opening, three month ago (affiliate bonus included from Jørgen at financiallyfree.eu). I expect future opportunities with lower returns. In fact, the last two projects of the year yielded 16% (far off from those 22% previous ones). Still, it is the leader within my crowdlending platforms and I will be tunned closely to see what they have to offer in January, and ready to deposit funds using transferwise.
Fast invest is my two months old newborn investment. As its name suggests, it grows fast! It earned 11.09€ (+2.21€ than November), no affiliate commission on this case. Most of my loans are from Denmark and Spain at 13.5% and 15% rates. More funds will pop in soon!
2018 has been an intense year, I changed my job, met new interesting people, bought a cheap second-hand car, moved to a different town, became fully invested, read 13 books, travelled to two countries, and last but not least, started my own blog! I am especially excited with the last one, although, it may be just the fresh feeling of a beginner. A lot to learn and improve in a newly discovered world, that’s just what I love.
Thanks for reading my first portfolio update, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. I would love to hear from you, so please leave a comment if you liked what you read, thank you.
Wish you a successful investing year 2019!
Thanks for your comment Luigi, the numbers are impressive because Algotechs, however I don’t recommend them for now.

In the case of a communication work, the creator is the person who makes the communication work (traditionally a broadcaster, pay television provider or website proprietor). The creator of a typographical arrangement of a published edition is the publisher. In the case of most computer-generated works, the creator is the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work are undertaken.
When is author not the first owner?
Works created in employment. Where a work is created in the course of employment, the employer will own copyright. The phrase “in the course of employment” involves consideration of the totality of the employee’s role and the scope of their employment responsibilities. However if a person creates a work as part of his or her job, then copyright is generally owned by the employer.
Certain types of commissioned works. Where someone commissions a person and agrees to pay them for a photograph, painting, drawing, diagram, map, chart, plan, engraving, model, sculpture, film, sound recording or computer program, the person who commissioned the work will own copyright.
Crown works. Where a work is created in the course of employment by the Crown (such as a government department) or created by a Crown contractor, the Crown will own copyright.
The rules of first ownership set out in the Copyright Act can be varied by agreement. For example, some employment agreements may contain a provision that an employee owns copyright in certain works they create during the term of an employment contract and some commissioning agreements may stipulate that the artist retains copyright in works created.
In some cases, there may be more than one copyright owner in a work, for example, where two or more people collaborate on a work or where copyright has passed to several beneficiaries under a will.
As copyright is a property right, copyright ownership can be bought, sold, transferred and given away like any other form of personal property. Moral rights are personal to the creator, so they cannot be sold or transferred to another person.

Quake is the best first-person shooter of all time. There, I said it. Id Software’s return to the first-person shooter genre was a massive critical success, and it remains excellent, even today.
You fight your way through four worlds filled with all manner of horrific beasts, from the basic Grunt to the terror-inducing Shambler, and into the depths of Shub-Niggurath’s Pit. And that’s without even considering Trent Reznor’s incredible soundtrack.
Grim Fandango’s film-noir, Day-of-the-Dead inspired characters must work through the Underworld, finding objects and solving puzzles to reach the final destination. The largely pre-rendered 3D environments were visually interesting and it has one of the best soundtracks of any game, ever.
1999 was a monumental year in video games. Final Fantasy VIII, Silent Hill, Super Smash Bros, EverQuest, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Unreal Tournament, Gran Turismo 2… the list is just incredible. Adding to that list is classic role-playing horror-survival, System Shock 2.
System Shock 2 starts with a classic horror trope: a mysterious distress call coming from a distant space sector. And you’re sent to check it out. I won’t say more than that. System Shock 2 offers an excellent storyline, immersive soundtrack, and a few jumps and scares along the way.
Bullfrog were the masters of irreverent management-sim humor. Theme Hospital’s jokes still hold up today, from the critical receptionists to the ridiculous diseases like Bloaty Head and Jellyitus. Theme Hospital’s campaign mode sees you take control of a succession of hospitals, competing against other healthcare facilities in the same locale.
If you’re looking for a modern version of Theme Hospital, I’d strongly advise checking out Two Point Hospital. It is the spiritual successor, made by former Bullfrog developers.
Baldur’s Gate II is one of the best RPGs, up there in the pantheon of RPG classics.
What sets Baldur’s Gate II aside is the wonderfully intricate level design. The entire world is beautiful and urges you to explore to the depths of Amn. Baldur’s Gate II was exceptional for its approach to its storyline and your character.
OpenTTD is the open source port of Chris Sawyer’s classic, Transport Tycoon Deluxe. OpenTTD takes the core gameplay of Transport Tycoon Deluxe and builds on it in so many ways. Custom train sets, advanced signals, user-made buildings and stations, entire industry overhauls, and much more await you.
You can forgive yourself for starting a quiet game of OpenTTD in the evening, and suddenly realizing it’s morning as you try to bring MagLev to the inhabitants of Little Plingfingpool.
The character customization is what makes the Fallout series great, and that is one of the enduring features of the series (though, Fallout 4 somewhat dropped the ball, but that’s another story for another day).
Although Half-Life’s graphics are beginning to look a little dated, the gameplay still holds up. At the time of release, Half-Life was an incredible experience, without proper “levels,” but with an environment that flowed throughout the game.
Add in different ways to move through each level, combat, and a steampunk-esq setting, and Thief is a fantastic game that’s still worth playing to this day.

Clitheroe captain Paul Gaskell believes the champions have continued from where they left off last term.
The club lost just twice in 24 outings on their way to securing the Ribblesdale Cricket League title.
And now, having won their three opening games against Baxenden, Euxton and Whalley, the Chatburn Road outfit’s unbeaten run has now stretched beyond nine months.
The last time the club tasted defeated in a league fixture came at the end of August when Settle won by four wickets thanks to Imran Khalid’s unbeaten knock of 75 in a strong partnership with Robbie Davidson (49).
“Winning is a good habit to have,” said Gaskell. “We’ve started well and that’s what we’re all about.
The latest triumph arrived in the form of a 62-run win against Whalley at Station Road.
Jack Dewhurst (33), Neil Bolton (43) and professional Janaka Guneratne (35) were the main contributors to the away side’s total of 138-6 from a rain-reduced 33 over spell, though they were all among Simon Gorton’s six-wicket haul.
But another fruitful spell of bowling from Clitheroe’s Sri-Lankan all-rounder helped the visitors over the line.
Guneratne took 5-16 from 7.3 overs as the defending champions took maximum points.
“To get 12 points in a shortened game is obviously a bonus,” said Gaskell.
Guneratne has accumulated 133 runs and 16 wickets in three league matches so far.
And Gaskell was full of praise for the club’s paid man: “We know what we get with him. It’s good to have him about the club and the lads love him.
Clitheroe travel to take on Brooksbottom on Saturday.

This week has all been about academic currency. Academics have ideas and write about them. They are judged by their peers and the wider community by the quality of these ideas and what they write about them. Hopefully you have developed an understanding of this process and why it is so serious to take someone’s ideas or words, and pass them off as your own. You will also have learnt why this is not only poor practice, but it deprives you of a part of your own learning.
Students find referencing very difficult and many decisions about what to reference, and where to reference, can be very subjective. As you move through the education system you will become more aware of the issues surrounding referencing, and become more practiced at it. It will almost certainly be taught at length when you arrive at university. The lesson here should give you a head start.
The way in which academics work and think will vary depending on their discipline. Over the next two weeks you will study two types of analysis. In week 4 you will look at data analysis and in week 5 you will look at textual analysis. It is important to find out about yourself and how you think about studying and what sort of information is the most exciting for you. Next week you will explore how data can be used to develop an argument, and also explore how you feel about playing with numbers.

1 trucker musician | This Blog Rules | Why go elsewhere?
Jerry Reed is probably the most recognized trucker musician. He was a singer/songwriter and actor. His personality shined through in a way that drew people into to what he was doing. In 1959, Reed’s song “Soldier’s Joy” hit the charts of the Bubbling Under The Top 100 and Cashbox Country. Reed continued his run as a hit maker in the 1960’s with “Guitar Man” and he wrote songs for Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.
The 1970’s were good to Jerry Reed and he made the most of it! He hit number eight on the U.S. billboards with “Amos Moses” in 1970, a hybrid of rock, country, cajun and funk. In 1971 his song “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot”, became the number one song in America on the country music billboard charts. He also performed the song on the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.
On December 9, 1972, Reed became a mainstream star when he was made into cartoon form as himself in the hit television show “The New Scooby-Doo Movies” in the episode “The Phantom of the Country Music Hall”. Reed played the infectious “Pretty Mary Sunlight” in order for the Scooby-Doo gang to find him after his guitar went missing. This episode of Scooby-Doo was his jumping on point to his acting career as he was about to become a star!
In 1974, Reed began his acting career along side of close friend Burt Reynolds in “W.W. and The Dixie Dancekings”. “Gator” followed in 1976 as well as 1978’s “High Ballin'” and 1979’s “Hot Stuff”. His biggest movies were the “Smokey and The Bandit” trilogy, the first in 1977, that featured Reed as a truck driver helping his friend Burt Reynolds. His song “East Bound and Down” landed him a spot at number two on the charts. Reed delved into many things toward the end of the 1970’s with “The Jerry Reed Show”, a guest spot on television show “Alice”, a tribute album to his good friend Jim Croce called “Jerry Reed Sings Jim Croce”, and a made for television movie “Concrete Cowboys”.

In our quest for finding the perfect solution for issues pertaining to hair, skin and overall health we couldn’t help but be led consistently towards the miracle plant Aloe Vera. The benefits of Aloe Vera gel are multi-fold and, as any frequent user can tell you, impeccable. So what is it, how to use it and why are we calling it a miracle plant?
Aloe vera has two major components; aloe gel and the latex. Gel is obtained from within the plant and is the clear jelly like substance. The latex is yellow in color.
Note: Aloe gel is safe to use while caution needs to be taken for the latex.
HOW TO EXTRACT ALOE VERA GEL??
Take a freshly cut Aloe Vera stem and use a butter knife to peel off the tough skin from one side. You will now be able to see a clear jelly like substance set within the plant in somewhat a solid-ish state. Using the same butter knife gently start grating the jelly surface in broad strokes moving upward to downward. You will notice immediately that the gel will start oozing. Collect the gel in a jar or a bowl. Be careful not to go deep into the green skin so that latex can be avoided. The benefits we are about to tell you only apply to gel.
Aloe Vera is a great remedy for a sun burn. Apply a little gel onto the affected area as it is a known healer and has proven to heal wounds faster than most medicated dressings.
Not only that, it has anti-bacterial properties and is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals that help stop eczema, acne, rosacea and psoriasis flare-ups.
Many beauty experts maintain that aloe vera is an excellent way to remove makeup, especially raccoon eyes. Your average makeup removers have a lot of harsh chemicals that dry out the skin and cause pigmentation. The recommended way to use Aloe Vera is to squeeze a drop onto a cotton ball and remove makeup. It is that simple!
Aloe Vera also helps in getting rid of those pesky dark circles that never seem to go away by utilising vitamin E, A, C and B12. Apply fresh Aloe Vera gel on a cotton ball and apply on the circles every night before you sleep.
Aloe Vera gel can also be used as a face mask as it hydrates and nourishes the skin and is simple to make at home.
To make the face wash, mix 1 tbps of aloe gel with 1 tsp of almond milk, 1 tsp lemon, apply it on you face like a regular face wash and let it stay for one minute before rinsing.
To make the face mask simply add rose water to aloe vera gel (enough to give your face and neck good coverage). Wash you face and neck and apply the mask evenly. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and massage gently before removing.
Aloe Vera can be used to exfoliate by making it into a homemade scrub. Mix 1/2 cup aloe gel, with enough brown sugar to get it gritty. Rub on your elbows, heels, arms of wherever you need and wash.
Use Aloe Vera gel for strong brows to keep them tidy. Take a clean mascara wand, dip into Aloe gel and sweep over stray brows to keep them in place. On the other hand, if your brows have been over-tweezed or are lighter genrally, mix one part of aloe gel with one part castor oil it helps grow eyebrows faster.
WARNING: Do not take aloe gel internally if you are pregnant according to the ‘Prescription for Nutritional Healing, The A-to-Z Guide to Supplements, ” by nutritional counsellor Phyllis Balch. Avoid taking aloe vera during menstruation. Aloe is good in little doses as it is a high potency substance. Ensure that regulated doses are consumed and no high doses are taken. Please discontinue use of aloe vera gel if there is any form of discomfort or reaction. In cases like these, immediately consult your doctor.

VINELAND - The school board will discuss Wednesday if they are open to renaming the Vineland High School North building as a tribute prompted by a request to honor former VHS assistant principal Dennis Tanner, who died in 1980 as he saved a student's life.
“To me, it’s a no-brainer,” former school board vice president Brian DeWinne said when contacted Monday.
In 2015, DeWinne noted Tanner’s courageous act was just about forgotten and took steps to rectify that.
DeWinne reminded the community how Tanner, a last-minute, fill-in chaperone for a student trip to Puerto Rico, raced into the water to save a student caught in a riptide. The student survived but Tanner did not.
Tanner’s portrait is displayed in the VHS North lobby.
Annual scholarships are awarded in Tanner’s memory.
And now DeWinne, backed by the VHS Historical Committee, is looking for a more high-profile memorial.
Should Vineland High School North change name to honor former VHS asst. principal Dennis Tanner, who died saving a student's life in 1980?
“We wholeheartedly support the concept to posthumously honor Mr. Tanner’s selflessness in sacrificing his life to save one of his students,” Keith Petrosky, VHS Historical Society secretary, wrote in a Nov. 23, 2015 letter to school board president Scott English.
First, the board must determine if they want to name the school in honor of any individual, School Board President Chris Jennings said Monday.
The recent trend is to honor a legacy by dedicating a portion of a school in someone’s honor, Jennings said, noting it offers more opportunity to showcase those who have made contributions to the school district. He noted the recent dedication of the Charles “Chalky” Ottinger foyer at VHS South.
Should a board majority support a school-naming tribute, they will vote Feb. 8 to kickstart the process established by district policy.
Although there’s a request to honor Tanner on the table, the policy mandates the public be invited to nominate people they feel also are deserving of consideration.
Policy specifies nominees must have “significantly contributed” their time, talents, funds or resources to a program, sport, activity, school, facility or volunteer organization within the district or city. A person must have died at least five years before the vote to be eligible for the tribute.
The public have at least 20 days to submit written nominations that should include background information about the person they are recommending.
After the submission deadline, the board is required to host a special meeting for the public to comment on the nominees before they vote.
This process was employed to name Thomas Wallace Jr. Middle School, Pauline J. Petway Elementary School, Gloria M. Sabater Elemenetary and Casimer Dallago Preschool.
In this case, Jennings noted the Vineland High School name would not change. It is the name of the building that would be under consideration.
For example, he said, if the Tanner request were successful, VHS North would then be called the Tanner Building at VHS.
DeWinne noted the building has gone through several monikers over the years, including VHS 9-10 and VHS North.
Most recently, the school administration dubbed the building "3010" after its East Chestnut Avenue address.
The work session is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the district's administrative office at 625 Plum St.

In China, it took Communist persecution to drive the church outside the four walls of the building and into the community. We all know the result: a vibrant movement of house churches has multiplied across that nation with the number of Christians increasing one hundred fold.
Could economic problems have the same result here in the West?
A few weeks ago I was at a retreat where there were several people in full-time Christian ministry–within missions and/or within the simple organic church movement. The majority of these people, who were supported mainly through traditional means (denominations, mission agencies etc.) were facing questions about how they were going to be financially supported in the near future.
Already we hear of those in full-time ministry in legacy churches being laid off or having their salaries cut. Many churches may have to close their doors for economic reasons.
Could God use this situation to produce a similar effect to what has happened in China? Could this be a part of his plan in allowing a house church movement to arise at such a time as this? Will we in simple churches have the maturity to rise to the challenge of supporting our own missions?

TWO WORDS are guaranteed to incense many Sheffield United fans. Dean Hammond. The man no-one wants but who won’t go away.
The 33-year-old was already a controversial and disliked figure amongst fans at Bramall Lane before an inexplicable revelation has enabled him to insist on a 12-month stay of execution. Tail wagging dog springs to mind.
But before we rush to condemn the rapidly declining midfielder who clearly has much more financial sense than professional pride, isn’t this yet another glaring example from United of how not to run a football club?
How is it possible for Hammond to have arrived on-loan from Leicester last August on wages reported to be £17,000 a week with the option, if the fancy took him, to join the playing staff as a fully paid-up member for a further year? As far as business acumen goes, from United’s point of view that is extraordinarily incompetent.
Now we have a situation where the fans don’t want him. The Board don’t want him. New Blades boss Chris Wilder has made it clear he doesn’t want him. The player, however, has invoked a contract clause which clearly undermines the manager. Wilder has responded in the only way he can by putting Hammond on the transfer list. What a farce.
If ever a player epitomised what was wrong with the over-sized squad of largely cash-conscious, egotistical misfits accumulated by Nigel Clough and added to by Nigel Adkins, it is Dean Hammond. Apparently he is prepared to sit out the next 12 months if he has to at a club where he knows he will never play in the first team again.
You don’t have to look far, however, to start unravelling a not-so-tangled web to explain it. Put simply – jobs for the boys. Step forward Adkins. A man who is always looking for an “opportunity” as he has told Blades fans a thousand times.
Hammond, as everyone knows, was sacked boss Adkins’ pet project. But best laid plans have gone awry due to the manager’s catastrophic 11 months in charge which saw his promotion favourites stutter to their lowest finish for 33 years.
Had he stayed there would have been no problem for Hammond, apart from continued disapproval from the stands which clearly didn’t bother him nor the man who appeared to idolise him.
Adulation stemming from Adkins’ time at Southampton where Hammond played an integral role in the Saints remarkable back-to-back promotions to the Premier League. A feat which cemented the manager’s reputation and 12 months ago put him at the top of United’s wanted list.
Hammond’s secret loan deal nugget sheds revealing light on why Adkins was always at pains to defend him no matter how poorly he played. No matter how vociferous the criticism.
Prior to joining United, Hammond had made just 12 appearances for Leicester in the season they defied all odds and clung on to their Premier League status under Nigel Pearson.
With just 12 months remaining on his contract at the King Power Stadium and already a fringe player, Hammond was surplus to requirements as far as new manager Claudio Ranieri was concerned. There is a reason for that.
Nevertheless in rushed what we now know to be a totally deluded Adkins, blinded by his own stupidity dressed up as positivity and the desire to do an old pal, way past his best, a favour. A big favour as it has turned out.
Not only was Hammond suddenly guaranteed first team football – 34 mostly below average appearances – and a chance to go in the shop window for a season to try and restart his faltering career. He was able to demand the bonus of a 12-month contract option at the end of his loan deal and remain in the comfort zone with his protective mate at the helm.
How was this allowed to happen at a club whose co-owner Kevin McCabe always goes to great lengths to emphasise how well run it is? Well, quite simply, Adkins, Hammond and his agent took United’s senior management for mugs. Which, it has to be said, they are.
It's happened too often and offers an insight into the structural problems that have led to arguably the darkest period in United's history.
Pet projects were not only confined to Adkins. In a strikingly similar scenario, John Brayford, the defender who played under an adoring Clough at Burton Albion and Derby County, was signed again by ex-Blades boss Clough. He originally introduced him to the Lane as a loan signing from then Premier League Cardiff City.
Granted, unlike Hammond, Brayford impressed during his six-month loan and United fans welcomed him when he eventually returned to sign a permanent deal. The terms, however, for a League One club were breathtaking. A £1.5million deal and a three-and-a-half-year contract.
For United to spend anything like that in the first place is, to put it politely, out of character. To spend so lavishly on a right-back they didn't need at a time when goal-scoring was a major difficulty, should have set alarm bells ringing.
To offer a deal, presumably with wages to match, extending over 42 months – even United's catalogue of managers could only expect 36 – was surely enough to warrant evacuating the stadium and moving match-day stewards to Phase Five. It should never have been approved.
Brayford hasn't gone close to recreating the form that made him a crowd favourite during his loan spell. Injury may have had a part to play in that and there is no doubt that he is one of the better players in the squad.
He has, however, much to prove if he is ever to start to justify the huge financial package he received which could see him remain at the Lane until summer 2018.
You also have to ask yourself what is it that makes any self-respecting player from higher divisions and with belief in themselves, jump happily at the chance to ply their trade in the third tier of English football? I think we know the answer.
Hammond’s comfortable world was turned upside down a fortnight ago when Adkins received his marching orders. The player will tell you that like anyone in any job he is only acting on what was agreed to secure his family’s income. Why would you choose the job centre when you can continue to steal a comfortable living while looking at the classified ads?
As irony would have it Adkins, five days after his dismissal, was back in charge of a team which included Hammond and Blades striker Billy Sharp in front of a 19,445 crowd at St Mary’s Stadium. The occasion was Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis’s testimonial when the current Saints team took on Adkins’ Southampton Promotion X1.
Blades fans can only hope that someone is daft enough to gamble on a now discredited Adkins and give him a job. It may be the only chance United have to offload a financial haemorrhage called Hammond.
