Payola never goes away, it just mutates. And we wonder why the major labels still dominate the radio waves?
- During a single week in May, Canadian pop rocker Avril Lavigne's new song "Don't Tell Me" aired no fewer than 109 times on Nashville radio station WQZQ-FM.
The heaviest rotation came between midnight and 6 a.m., an on-air no man's land visited largely by insomniacs, truckers and graveyard shift workers. One Sunday morning, the 3-minute, 24-second song aired 18 times, sometimes as little as 11 minutes apart.
Those plays, or "spins," helped "Don't Tell Me" vault into the elite top 10 on Billboard magazine's national pop radio chart, which radio program directors across the country use to spot hot new tunes.
But what many chart watchers may not know is that the predawn saturation in Nashville – and elsewhere – occurred largely because Arista Records paid the station to play the song as an advertisement. In all, sources said, WQZQ aired "Don't Tell Me" as an ad at least 40 times the week ending May 23, accounting for more than one-third of the song's airplay on the station.
The "Don't Tell Me" campaign is part of the latest craze in record promotion, a high-pressure part of the music business in which the labels try to influence which songs reach the air.
In the late 1950s, rock's earliest days, the industry was hit by a series of payola scandals in which cash bribes were paid to disc jockeys who agreed to play certain songs. That practice was subsequently outlawed, prompting record companies to find more subtle means of currying favor with radio programmers, be it sending them on junkets or handing them concert tickets.
In the latest twist, it's the radio stations themselves that have been reaching out to the labels, offering to play songs in the form of ads, often in the early morning hours when there tends to be an excess inventory of airtime. The practice is legal as long as the station makes an on-air disclosure of the label's sponsorship – typically with an introduction such as "And now, Avril Lavigne's 'Don't Tell Me,' presented by Arista Records." [LA Times]
Labels paying for a song to be played AS AN AD is flipping genius in its one-hand-washing-the-other ruthless collusive efficiency.
- All five major record corporations have at least dabbled in the sales programs, industry sources said, with some reportedly paying as much as $60,000 in advertising fees to promote a single song.
Interscope Records has purchased spins for the Black Eyed Peas' song "Hey Mama" in recent weeks, as well as for Sheryl Crow's "The First Cut Is the Deepest" and Sugababes' "Hole in the Head," sources said. Virgin Records has bought advertising time for rock band A Perfect Circle. Lava Records has purchased airplay for singer Cherie, and V2 Records has done the same for Katy Rose.
Representatives for the labels declined to comment.
No shit.
- But one label executive who has purchased airplay, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the idea was clearly to prop up songs long enough for them to attract genuine fans.
"In our business, perception is reality," he said. "The minute you're down in spins, these program directors drop the record."
Michael Ellis, associate publisher of Billboard and sister publication Airplay Monitor, acknowledged his concern about the "legal but nevertheless questionable practice."
"We take great pride in the accuracy and credibility of our radio charts," Ellis said. "We are carefully studying this situation and consulting with the industry to determine the proper course of action."
….For their part, the radio stations are unapologetic. Whether the charts are a real reflection of a song's standing with programmers "is not our concern," said Bud Walters, president of Cromwell Group Inc., which owns WQZQ and 19 other stations. "We're in the advertising business."
Al Vicente, president of Archway Broadcasting, which owns 13 stations, took a similar stand: "The labels are an advertiser like anyone else, and they have the right to advertise their product."
But not advertising that the listener – and the charts – would confuse as something else: editorial content. This is "pay to play" and clearly violates the spirit if not the letter of anti-payola laws.
The one simple question the story does not answer is, "Are the paid-for spins identified as ads?" If not, it's deceptive advertising – I can see a class action suit brought by listeners.

"Will Not Grow or Blossom" (12) In Hero of Our Time, Lermontov utilizes Russian and Circassian cultures, to mirror the Romantic and Enlightenment philosophies at conflict within Pechorin. The divergence in Pechorin's actions in accordance to the two societies allow for the hypocrisy of his conflicting ideals to be highlighted. The Circassian wedding in Bela, where couples face each other and say "anything that comes to mind"(12), invokes the Romantic ideas of natural freedom and independence.
As the Ferdinand Brunetiere describes, Romanticism is the "stressing of individuality at the expense of a larger world"(Berlin, 15), and Lermontov certainly makes his character Pechorin act this way at times. Yet when Pechorin seeks to join the Romantic Circassian lifestyle, his inability to renounce the comfort and structure of enlightened society stops him from doing so.
Additionally, Lermontov leads Pechorin to prove his inability to completely abandon the culture and philosophy of a privileged Russian aristocrat by putting Pechorin in the face of the elite selectiveness, strict structure and complicated social formalities in Princess Mary. There, believing himself to be above the "multilingual throng"(70) of high society and claiming to prefer the simplicity of the Circassian's life style, Pechorin nevertheless perfectly follows the expectations of the Russian dance.
As Isaiah Berlin explains, Romanticism is based on "The ability and readiness to dedicate yourself to your ideal" (Berlin, 8). Pechorin's failure as a romantic is finalized through this idea, failing to commit himself to the Circassian culture, Pechorin participates in the apex of Russian society, the formal dance.
In conjunction with Pechorin's attitude towards both the Circassian and Provincial societies and apparent failure as a romantic, Lermontov's use of Pechorin as a representative for the "heroes of [his] time"(4) provide insight into the ideas which Lermontov felt he must write against. Thus, Lermontov may have written Hero of Our Time in order to relay the message that not only were these "Pechorins' of his time despicable people, but they were abusing and falsifying the Romantic philosophy to which Lermontov aspired.

REYNOSA — Mayors of neighboring border cities Hidalgo and Reynosa met at the halfway point between the bridge connecting their countries Thursday in a ceremonial gesture of goodwill dating back more than four decades.
The abrazo — embrace or hug — on the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge kicks off BorderFest each year and honors the relationship between the communities. Southbound traffic paused on the bridge as the dignitaries exchanged gifts and said a few words, while media jockeyed for a shot. The mayors said the event represents peace and focuses on what united them.
BorderFest kicks off Friday at the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo and runs through Sunday.
During the international celebration Thursday, musicians and dancers performed in the streets and plazas as Hidalgo Mayor Martin Cepeda and Reynosa Mayor Maki Esther Ortiz Domínguez walked arm in arm among a procession that made its way through the Mexican city. Flanked with armed guards in black and green, the delegation occasionally paused for performances.
The group marched to the Reynosa square where a large tent, more performers and catering awaited the visitors.
"We share families, culture, traditions, stories, businesses — this is how it's always going to be, there is no wall that can compete with the efforts of human beings," the Reynosa mayor said to reporters in Spanish at a celebration near Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in Reynosa.
Politicians took the opportunity to stress the importance of their bond.
"It's a sister city, the city of Reynosa, we're always working together, them with us, and us with them, communication is very important," Cepeda said in Spanish. "The culture, the schools, events like this, this is what unites us."
Officials introduced themselves and welcomed Winter Texans while servers delivered mixed drinks. Canadian Dennis Shelston was among a handful of seasonal residents that walked with the parade.
Shelston said he attended because he heard about the meeting between allies.
"It makes you wonder why there needs to be a wall if there's so much friendship," he said.

Drag forces are conventionally described by a drag coefficient, defined irrespective of the shape of the body. Dimensional analysis reveals that the drag coefficient depends on the Reynolds number; the precise dependence must be elucidated experimentally and can be used to predict the drag forces experienced by other bodies in other fluids at other velocities. Engineers use this principle of dynamic similarity when they apply results obtained with a model structure to predict the behaviour of other structures. See also friction; streamline.

This is the walk of the Contemporary Shaman, taught in a spiritually safe and grounded pathway. Support and guidance is offered to those that want to travel the inner landscapes in safety and especially for those who feel great sensitivity and are seeking to find balance and understanding of their souls learning in this life. This can pertain to issue stemming from abuse, grief, mental health issues, spiritual emergence, fear and overwhelm.
Shamans of ancient times were responsible for bringing healing, guidance, wisdom and medicine to their community. They were known as
'The Walkers Between The Worlds.'
Since then the spirit of the medicine has been dispersed. In some cases the power of the medicine has been lost and many charlatans have misused it as a way to manipulate vulnerable people in order to get their emotional and financial needs met.
Wise guidance, respect for the original people and the laws of nature, inner jouneys, mindful safe practices and grounded practical helpful tools to build one's own recipe of wellness are needed on this pathway. This is the service that is offered in the form of counselling, spirit guidance, journeywork, books and teachings.
The Credo Of This Service Is
'Safe Practices'
I honour and respect the original caretakers of all lands throughout the earth as I do the original source of the medicine that flows through whilst being of service to those in need.

(Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed sharply lower on Friday, with the S&P 500 ending its worst week since August, as plunging crude oil prices compounded investor nervousness on expectations for the first U.S. interest rate hike in nearly a decade.
Oil dragged down market as a whole, as investors worried whether a weakness in commodities signaled a broader slowdown.
Furthermore, investors were worried about declines in China's yuan and in high-yield debt markets.
"Positioning has been clearly along the lines of taking risk exposure off," said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.
The sell-off gained ground ahead of the close as investors took profits on stocks such as Amazon.com AMZN.O, which had performed well this year, said Dennis Dick, head of markets structure at Bright Trading LLC in Las Vegas.
"If you had a large oil position you need to raise cash, probably from some of your winners," he said.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 309.54 points, or 1.76 percent, to 17,265.21 with every component in the index ending down. The S&P 500 .SPX lost 39.86 points, or 1.94 percent, to 2,012.37 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 111.71 points, or 2.21 percent, to 4,933.47.
For the week, the S&P 500 fell 3.8 percent in its worst week since Aug. 21. The Dow fell 3.3 percent and Nasdaq dropped 4.1 percent for the week.
Small caps sold off as well. The Russell 2000 index .RUT fell 5.1 percent for the week, its biggest weekly percentage decline since May 2012.
The continued plunge in oil prices added to investor uncertainty ahead of the Federal Reserve's expected rate hike after the U.S. central bank's Dec. 15-16 meeting.
Brent futures LCOc1 fell to an almost seven-year low, while U.S. crude futures CLc1 fell to just above $35 a barrel after the International Energy Agency said it expected the supply glut to worsen in 2016 as demand slows and OPEC shows no signs of slowing production in its fight for market share.
Adding to the somber mood, China's yuan currency CNY= fell to its lowest in 4-1/2 years on concerns about the country's slowing economy and expectations of a U.S. rate hike.
James of Wedbush said investors are worried about high-yield markets, especially as it relates to high-yield debt and energy needs after New York-based Third Avenue Management said Thursday it was trying to liquidate a roughly $1 billion junk bond fund in the biggest failure in the U.S. mutual fund industry since the 2008 financial crisis.
Tracking oil prices, the S&P energy index .SPNY fell 3.4 percent, leading the decliners among major S&P sectors. The index has lost 11 percent since the beginning of the month in its worst month since September 2011.
The materials index .SPLRCM was down 2.7 percent, weighed down by DuPont and Dow.
Both DuPont DD.N and Dow Chemical DOW.N shares were down following a deal valuing the combined entity at $130 billion, falling 5.5 percent and 2.8 percent respectively.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 2,745 to 376, for a 7.30-to-1 ratio on the downside; on the Nasdaq, 2,388 issues fell and 448 advanced for a 5.33-to-1 ratio favoring decliners.
Adobe Systems ADBE.O was the S&P 500's sole new 52-week high for the day. The index had 43 new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 19 new highs and 187 new lows.
About 8.3 billion stocks traded on U.S. exchanges compared with the 6.98 billion average for the last 20 sessions, according to Thomson Reuters data.

Did you know?…The average home collects about 2 POUNDS OF DUST PER WEEK!
Particles are commonly measured in microns, a metric unit of measure.
There are 25,400 microns in one inch.
This dot (.) is approximately 1/64 of an inch wide and equals 615 microns.
Common Items and their respective particle sizes:
|Postage Stamp, 1 inch high
|25,400 microns
|Eye of a Needle
|1,230 microns
|Human Hair
|40 to 300 microns
|Oil Smoke
|0.03 to 1 micron

|Beach Sand
|100 to 2000 microns
|Mold Spores
|10 to 30 microns
|10 to 1000 microns
|Typical Atmospheric Dust
|0.001 to 30 microns
Particles 101: Did You Know?…
– Visible particles constitute only about 10% of indoor air!
– Particle visibility depends on the eye itself. In other words, light intensity and quality, background and particle type.
– Particles on furniture and those in a shaft of light are approximately 50 microns or larger.
– It may be possible to see particles as small as 10 microns under favorable conditions.
– The majority of harmful particles are 3 microns or less in size.
– Particles of 1 micron or less adhere to surfaces by molecular adhesion. Scrubbing is generally the only way to remove them.
– Larger particles tend to settle out of the atmosphere due to weight.
– Smaller, "respirable" particles remain virtually suspended in the air until breathed in.
– Approximately 98-99% of all particles by count are in the size range of 5 microns or less. These particles tend to remain in suspension or settle out so slowly that only quality electronic air cleaners and HEPA air cleaners are effective in removing these particles.
– The average person breathes in about 16,000 quarts of air per day. Each quart contains some 70,000 visible and invisible particles. That's over a billion particles per day that our lungs have to filter out!
– The average home collects about 2 pounds of dust per week!
– A 9′ x 12′ carpet or rug will collect an average of about 10 pounds of dust per year!

Master of Liberal Studies (MLS)
My culminating experience in English will examine the Waldesruh journals and the log books kept at a cabin in western Wisconsin. The journals were started in 1964 by the original owner, Elmer W. Sprick, and have been maintained by subsequent owners. The journals are more than a tally of temperature, weather conditions, and hunting results. Those things are present, but what becomes apparent in reading the journal entries is the importance of and camaraderie fostered by hunting. The journals show that when practiced honorably, hunting places man among nature as a part of nature, not separate from it. The analysis of the journals will also reveal a history of the Frank family. The journals weren't intended to document one family's life, but as the primary users of the cabin and property known as Waldesruh, the Franks are well-represented, and in the process, their lives are documented. In addition, this section of the paper will show the importance of journals and diaries for writers and non-writers, and it will analyze how journals have been incorporated into literary works by such authors as Jim Harrison, Henry David Thoreau, and Aldo Leopold. The main thesis is that the Waldesruh journals represent literature despite the original intention of them, which was to document the natural life, wildlife and human life at the property.

Activation of autophagy by inflammatory signals limits IL-1beta production by targeting ubiquitinated inflammasomes for destruction

Autophagosomes delivers cytoplasmic constituents to lysosomes for degradation, whereas inflammasomes are molecular platforms activated by infection or stress that regulate the activity of caspase-1 and the maturation of interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-18. Here we show that the induction of AIM2 or NLRP3 inflammasomes in macrophages triggered activation of the G protein RalB and autophagosome formation. The induction of autophagy did not depend on the adaptor ASC or capase-1 but was dependent on the presence of the inflammasome sensor. Blocking autophagy potentiated inflammasome activity, whereas stimulating autophagy limited it. Assembled inflammasomes underwent ubiquitination and recruited the autophagic adaptor p62, which assisted their delivery to autophagosomes. Our data indicate that autophagy accompanies inflammasome activation to temper inflammation by eliminating active inflammasomes.

In short, LTE-U simply means LTE in unlicensed spectrum and is a technology originally designed by Qualcomm. Unlicensed spectrum means those parts of the airwaves where no one operator has an exclusive license, which means technology products (and ultimately companies) must co-operate in order for LTE-U to work. This is of particular importance because LTE-U operates in the same 5.0 GHz frequency spectrum that some 802.11 Wi-Fi hotspots operate in, and it would not be a great experience should a LTE-U broadcaster effectively disable Wi-Fi hotspots. LTE-U is considered to be an important technology as it may be used to provide coverage in areas where otherwise the signal is weak, or more likely congested. However, as one might imagine, this is a potential recipe for disaster because it's possible that a number of different companies may build their own slightly tweaked variant of LTE-U that could block out other products. Last year, we reported on a number of developments designed to allow LTE-U to cooperate and co-exist in the same spectrum as local Wi-Fi hotspots.
The current LTE-U standard as defined by the 3GPP is known as "release 12." It requires that the LTE-U spectrum is "anchored" in licensed spectrum and is currently suitable for deployment by carriers into selected markets (most notably including the United States of America). This means that where a carrier already has licensed coverage, it may also be permitted to broadcast in the unlicensed spectrum. This implementation of the technology means that LTE-U may be used to boost capacity over coverage; carriers may not roll out LTE-U coverage into areas where there is no anchor signal. However, it does mean that for compatible devices, they should be able to enjoy a better quality of connection. Sophisticated networking control will mean that the carrier is able to use the LTE-U spectrum for those devices able to use it, keeping the licensed spectrum free for those customers using devices unable to benefit from LTE-U. This is known as "data offloading" and is designed to ensure the best possible service for all customers.
There are several manufacturers already building small cell sites designed to broadcast in unlicensed spectrum, and there are also a number of modems and chipsets that work with the technology. LTE-U may be deployed in areas of high network congestion on either a permanent or temporary basis: the recent Super Bowl stadium and surrounding area is the sort of event that could well benefit from LTE-U deployment and we understand that Verizon Wireless is planning on trialing LTE-U in the third quarter of 2016 and China Mobile has already completed field trials with plans to deploy the technology this year.
Release 12 is actively supported across the industry and both LTE-U and Wi-Fi are seen as important standards for the mobile industry: it is important that the two technologies supplement rather than compete. The next iteration of LTE-U technology contains a technology called Licensed-Assisted Access, known as LAA, which is something of a redesign of LTE-U designed to ensure global compatibility for operating LTE networking over the 5.0 GHz spectrum. LAA is a core part of the 3GPP standard, which is not expected to be established until 2017 although some manufacturers are already supporting the technology. There is also another implementation of the technology whereby LTE operates exclusively in unlicensed spectrum, such as Qualcomm's MulteFire, which has widespread support across the industry. Ultimately, next generation (known as 5G) radio technology is likely to rely on operating in both licensed and unlicensed bands, too; the foundations being set for LTE-U should provide good experience for implementing 5G technologies in the coming years.
LTE-U is not without its drawbacks, and indeed Google has in the past protested the technology. The main reason for complaints is how LTE-U operates in the same frequencies as Wi-Fi and as such, the technology could degrade the performance of Wi-Fi networking. Another issue surrounds how a carrier may increase its coverage using LTE-U over and above a technology such as Hotspot 2.0, which is not restricted by carrier but instead is readily available for more devices. Nevertheless, for some of our readers, LTE-U may be deployed in your market in the coming months and providing the technology works as designed, this should improve how responsive our cellular networks are.

Disputes have been increasing in the mining and natural resources sector. One reason for the increase in disputes is the downturn in commodity prices, which has led to restructurings, downsizings, as well as the cancellation and postponement of projects and a reduction in capital expenditure. These actions can have a significant effect on the supply chain and on other stakeholders resulting in disputes.
We recently asked clients what keeps them awake at night and the top response was governmental risk including changes to licensing and fiscal regimes. With lower commodity prices, governments are looking for ways to raise revenues including by considering changes to their licensing and fiscal policies. Another concern of clients was regulatory compliance and investigations, particularly in light of the growing regulatory burden being imposed on mining and natural resources companies. The increase in governmental intervention and regulation is likely to continue to give rise to disputes.
We have also seen a rise in the number of class-action disputes over recent years, with increased activism by non-governmental organizations and communities: this trend is likely to continue.
Preventative measures
With increasing regulation and scrutiny of mine operators' conduct, it is important to proactively manage risk by putting in place robust policies particularly in the areas of anti-bribery and corruption, human rights, and environmental health and safety, each of which can give rise to substantial commercial risk and liability. In addition, it is important to implement appropriate training and monitoring to ensure compliance with these policies.
However, no matter how many preventative measures are put in place, disputes are inevitable. Early intervention and careful management of disputes are key to minimizing the risk of disruption to the business. In this article we discuss the top ten issues to consider when a dispute emerges.
1: Limitation periods
One of the first issues to consider are the time limits applicable to any claim. Whether you are a potential respondent to a claim from another party or are looking to bring a claim yourself, it is important to know when the claim expires. Time limits may be found in the relevant laws on limitation period but there may also be time limits contained in relevant contracts specifying when certain rights must be exercised. If you are close to a time limit you may need to act quickly to preserve any claim by filing proceedings or agreeing to a standstill agreement with the other party.
2: Preservation of documents
Many claims are won or lost on documents. Accordingly, it is essential to secure all relevant documents as soon as possible. This includes electronic documents such as emails and texts as well as hard copy files.
3. Identify possible rights and remedies (contract, common law, and statute) including applicable law/s and dispute resolution provisions
It is important to identify all relevant legal rights and remedies that may be available to you. If it is a contractual dispute there may be express rights and remedies provided for in the contract. You may also have additional rights under the common law or statute which may give a more favourable result to you. Accordingly, you should determine the full extent of your rights and remedies before choosing which to pursue. This will require you to consider which laws apply, particularly where the transaction is cross-border or involves agreements governed by different laws. Many contracts contain dispute resolution provisions which set out the procedure for resolution of disputes. It is important that these procedures, including any notice requirements, are fully complied with.
4. Preservation of rights
Rights may be lost in a variety of ways. These include, for instance, the expiration of time limits; not objecting to conduct by a counterparty; or making statements or taking actions that are inconsistent with your rights. Accordingly, you should identify at an early stage the rights on which you may wish to rely and to ensure that you do not take any actions or make any statements that could be construed as being inconsistent with the exercise or reservation of those rights.
5. Consider legal privilege issues
Consider involving a lawyer at an early stage, as documents provided to a lawyer for the purposes of legal advice and the resulting legal advice are generally protected from disclosure in legal proceedings by privilege. Privilege can also extend to documents prepared for the dominant purpose of use in contemplated legal proceedings. Privilege can be lost through to disclosure to third parties in some cases, so it is important to obtain advice on these issues at an early stage and agree procedures to identify privileged documents to ensure that such privilege is maintained.
6. Consider reporting obligations internally and to external bodies such as insurers and regulators
The mining and natural resources sector is heavily regulated and so you should consider whether any potential dispute gives rise to reporting obligations under relevant legislation. Another issue to consider is whether any losses may be covered by insurance and to notify insurers in a timely manner.
7. Public/customer/investor relations
For any significant dispute, consideration should be given to developing a strategy for dealing with stakeholder communications. In the case of listed companies, disclosure under relevant listing rules may be required. Even if a dispute is not required to be disclosed, consideration should be given to whether there are any strategic advantages to disclosure and the most appropriate channels to use.
8. Strategy for communicating with the counterparty
Having a strategy for communicating with the counterparty is key to protecting your rights and ensuring that you are able to achieve your commercial goals through a settlement or a litigation or arbitration process. Involving a lawyer in the process of preparing communications can assist in ensuring that the communications protect your legal position as drafts shared with the lawyer for the purposes of advice will be privileged. It is also important to clearly identify those communications that are made for the purposes of settlement because these are likely to be covered by without prejudice privilege, which means that they cannot be used in any subsequent proceedings.
9. Settlement options
Parties should consider settlement options at an early stage including whether some form of Alternative Dispute Resolution such as negotiation or mediation may be appropriate. One important issue to consider is which representatives from each party would need to be around the table to make such a process effective. When assessing settlement options a cost-benefit analysis should be undertaken at an early stage taking into account considerations such as the relationship cost, financial impact, delay, and potential reputational risk of pursuing the matter to a final judgment or award.
10. Strategy for mitigating loss
From both a legal and commercial perspective it is important to consider what reasonable steps can be taken to mitigate any loss arising from the dispute. Consideration should also be given to whether there are any changes that could be made to existing company policies to reduce the risk of such disputes occurring in the future.
While disputes are an inevitable part of business in the mining and resources sector, focussing on early and effective management can make a big difference to their commercial impact.

Google has entered the race for nuclear fusion technology with a US firm.
The search engine giant and Tri Alpha Energy, backed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, have developed a new computer algorithm which has helped speed up experiments on plasmas – which are ultra-hot balls of gas.
Nuclear fusion, which generates huge amounts of energy when atoms are fused together at incredibly high temperatures, is believed to be one of the most promising sources of clean energy.
The two firms have developed what they call the 'Optometrist Algorithm', which helps solve "highly complex problems regarding plasma behaviour".
They state it requires researchers to "choose between successive pairs of possible outcomes identified within the experiment to focus on those producing subjectively better results for fusion experiments".
The team achieved a 50% reduction in energy losses and a resulting increase in total plasma energy.
Michl Binderbauer, TAE's President and Chief Technology Officer said: "This research, years in the making, has already allowed us to advance our science and I am grateful for the longstanding collaboration with Google as it illustrates how, with a lean start-up design, TAE can direct research to outcomes that specifically advance and accelerate our mission to generate clean, safe and abundant energy through fusion technology."

What is mediation and what can be discussed at mediation?
Mediation is one of the alternative forums which can be used to try and agree various matters outside of Court. Mediation is encouraged by the Court and indeed some family applications require Mediation to be considered prior to an application being made to Court.
Mediation: a better way to separate
Wondering where to start with sorting out matters after your separation? Mediation offers a safe and private forum for separating couples to discuss how to manage arrangements for their children and finances.
Family Dispute Resolution Week 2015
Resolution's Family Dispute Resolution Week campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of putting children first during divorce and separation.
According to a National poll conducted by Resolution among 500 children this year, around eight out of ten children and young people with experience of parental separation or divorce would prefer their parents to split up if they are unhappy, rather than stay together.
What is the Role of a Family Mediator?
A family mediator is an impartial third party who helps married & unmarried couples, parents, grandparents, step-parents and young people to discuss their issues openly and make informed decisions on how they are going to resolve and/or manage these issues going forward.
What is Collaborative Law?
With Tasha Bevan-Stewart, family law solicitor and specialist collaborative lawyer with Watson Thomas Solicitors
What does the word 'collaborative' mean?
To work with others in a co-operative, rather than adversarial way towards a common goal.

Samsudin, Nor Syamimi (2014) The integration of Dick and Carey model in developing potrait teaching kit for visual art education teachers / Nor Syamimi Samsudin. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi MARA.
This study was aimed at developing the teaching aids to be utilized in Visual Art Education classrooms. Portrait is the most difficult lesson to teach as it involves tedious process and highly-skilled procedure (Opie, 2003). A teaching kit for teaching portrait lesson (Portrait Teaching Kit) was developed; integrating Dick and Carey Model (2005) as to prepare the instructional technology as the alternative in teaching portrait among teachers. This study was identified the VAE teachers' perception and motivation towards Portrait Teaching Kit as the teaching aid in VAE subject. A descriptive survey research was employed as to collect all the data. In this study, the respondents chosen were 30 experienced teachers of VAE subject among selected secondary school in Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Based on the findings, the study shown that implementation of Portrait Teaching Kit in VAE subject can provided new ideas and knowledge and enhanced VAE teachers' perception and motivation to delivering portrait lesson in the classroom. It is hoped that the Portrait Teaching Kit can facilitate portrait lesson among VAE.

If you are a newbie, you can get help from the HostPapa experts through a 30 min video training for the Business and Business Pro Hosting. You can also get access to the resources, knowledgebase, webinars and downloadable manuals.
HostPapa: Choose the best Pricing
HostPapa has got one of the best shared hosting plans in the industry. If you are a small business owner, you can kick start your business with its affordable shared hosting plan which starts for just $3.95 per month and if you are a user in India, the lowest plan will cost you around Rs 199 per month while the costliest one is worth Rs 699 per month.
You can use HostPapa India domain hosting coupons to save up to 75% on your plans.
Also, you can purchase the domain name accordingly. With various domain extensions available, just pay few bucks and you will own the domain name with your desired domain extension.
Improved onboarding
When I started my small project with HostPapa for the first time, the integration process (ie changing the purchase to use the service) caused countless problems. It was really frustrating.
When I returned to service, they had not improved everything (see section "Contra"), but also improved the flow, transparency, and software for the validation and installation process.
They have many small details that make the registration and installation process much easier. While not the best I've ever seen (like SiteGround or InMotion), it's moving quickly in the right direction. You can say that they have resources for the project that are excellent because they can implement the latest integration practices.
Moreover, they are quite focused on their target market (despite some of their demands). Small businesses are your wheelhouse. Therefore, elements such as hosting and e-mail transfers are integrated directly into the payment and installation process.
Speed and performance
As I mentioned earlier, the primary function of a web host is to provide the site files when someone writes their domain name. However, most agree that an adverb is missing.
To say that the speed of a website is important is a click, especially in the mobile age. Although server speed is not the only factor in the overall speed of the website, this is an important factor.
And most important, it's also a bottleneck factor. In other words, no matter how fast your compressor speed up your website, you can only go at the speed of your server.
Measuring server speed and response time is a complex problem. Only HostPapa network engineers can definitely say what happens to the server speed. Anyone can measure an approximate metric of server performance.
It is referred to as Time to the First Byte (TTFB) and indicates the speed at which a server provides the first byte of information upon receipt of a request.
A few years ago I measured the performance of HostPapa … and although it was good, it was not great.
This year I tried a similar website (but not Apple Apple), and the TTFB was much better.
VPS Hosting
If your website has outgrown in number, it's the time that you change from shared hosting to the VPS hosting. A VPS server is more scalable and faster than the shared hosting. HostPapa offers wide range of features in its VPS hosting.
• Instant provisioning and scaling of the servers.
• Unlimited Email
• Atleast 24 GB of RAM and 1TB of Storage with each plan for faster server
• Pre-Installed Sofaculous which enables 1-click installation of WordPress and Joomla
