Testing is an integral part of developing any technology, but when creating innovations for commercial vehicles, according to WABCO, safety comes before anything else.
Global Test and Validation Engineering Director, Thomas Pappenheim, said WABCO tests every new system via rigorous digital and real-world processes.
“Digital simulations handle the development of the technology to ensure it works as it should, keeps the user safe and delivers the performance WABCO customers are used to,” he said.
WABCO Advanced Development Leader, Dr Thomas Dieckmann, said that forward-looking systems can be refined to make them appropriate for the future of mobility.
“For WABCO's Evasive Manoeuvre Assist (EMA), which we demonstrated in 2017, we used a model-based development to quickly find a suitable control algorithm that was finally refined and tuned in real life testing.”
WABCO uses different methods that work in harmony and does not see digital and real-world testing as mutually exclusive. Advanced digital testing, according to WABCO, has changed the way this integrated technology is developed but there are some things that can only be refined in a live environment.
“In terms of safety and durability, real life testing still plays a vital role in developing and proving new functions, making sure systems are working 100 per cent as intended– especially when it comes to final releases and performance fine tuning,” said Dieckmann. “Using these two types of tests together means products can be brought to market quicker, allowing for enhanced safety as we move along the road towards autonomy.”
One of WABCO's three testing facilities is located in the Arctic where, from December to March, the average temperature is -30° C (-22 °F).
As well as testing under these extreme conditions, the facility is laid out to offer a wide range of road conditions. With 11 hectares of steep grade tracks, a handling course, and a heated asphalt surface, the facility is designed to test and optimise the systems created by WABCO. One particular benefit of the cold temperatures is the low friction value of the surfaces, which allows for stability control testing at high and low speeds.
This is an important part of testing new safety innovations for commercial vehicles according to WABCO.
WABCO said the challenge of developing autonomous technology is replicating the different scenarios a human driver tackles on a daily basis, on the road and in the yard.
“An autonomous truck needs to be able to sense and react to every possible thing that could happen in a live situation.
“This is another reason why real-world testing is so important. Digital simulations can help develop the technology but driver assistance systems — as well as fully autonomous trucks — need to be tested in a specialist facility before they're deemed safe to be out on the road.
“Testing in this way means WABCO is able to deliver performance and safety while looking to a future that's going to see a lot more autonomous vehicles on our roads.”

Tiziana Life Sciences PLC (LON:TILS) (NASDAQ:TLSA) shares were up strongly after news the group has submitted a patent application covering the potential use of nasally-administered and orally taken Foralumab for the treatment of COVID-19 either alone or in combination with other antiviral drugs.
The methods of delivering the fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) could potentially modulate or stimulate the immune system to suppress cytokine storms and therefore reduce respiratory failure in coronavirus patients, the company said.
Its researchers believe its combination with other anti-viral drugs could improve efficacy.
Tiziana has an exclusive licence for the nasal administration of Foralumab and other anti-CD3 mAbs for the treatment of neurodegenerative and other diseases.
It has also developed a “robust formulation” and nasal delivery system that was shown in a phase I trial to be well tolerated as well as producing “immunomodulatory effects”.
A second early-stage clinical study assessing the oral use of Foralumab concluded it had no discernible side effects.
The fact the drug has already undergone two formal clinical safety assessments is a potential “game-changer” for Tiziana as it would allow the firm to go directly into human testing for COVID-19, analysts said.
Meanwhile, the ability to inhale Foralumab or take it by mouth overcomes the severe toxicities sometimes associated with the intravenous delivery of rival human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies.
The drug has a “global effect on the immune response and modulates many cell types and cytokines, not just one”, said Harvard professor Howard Weiner, chairman of Tiziana’s scientific advisory board.
He added that nasal and oral administration of Foralumab are “potentially transformative” new approaches.
Explaining the mode of action, Tiziana chief executive, Dr Kunwar Shailubhai, said nasal inhalation and oral administration stimulate or modulate the immune system so that T regulatory cells are then “supercharged” to inhibit inflammation.
“The common underlying concept in these alternative delivery approaches is to strengthen one’s own body defence to fight against inflammation in these diseases,” he added.
“Being a fully human anti-CD3 mAb, Foralumab is most suitable for immunotherapies, as it does not produce an immune response, unlike other humanised anti-CD3 mAbs.”
The shares rose 24% to 236p, valuing the business at almost £400mln.

Milwaukee Public Schools says employee infected with coronavirus
Milwaukee Public Schools believes an employee at Hopkins-Lloyd Community School has the coronavirus, the school district confirmed Saturday night.
The Milwaukee Health Department is still awaiting a confirmed test about the individual from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but health officials believe the presumptive results are actionable, the district said in a news release.
It is expected to go down as Wisconsin's 28th case of coronavirus and Milwaukee County's seventh.
The patient is an adult who is under medical supervision and not yet at home, Jeanette Kowalik, the city's health commissioner, said at a news conference. Health officials are following up with anyone who may have had contact with the individual.
Hopkins-Lloyd Community School is an elementary school serving about 150 students in Milwaukee's North Division neighborhood, on the north side. All students and staff and their families are being asked to self-quarantine.

FULL COVERAGE: What you need to know about coronavirus in Wisconsin
UPDATING COVERAGE: Coronavirus worldwide
Kowalik said the patient recently traveled within the U.S. She had little additional information to offer at a quickly arranged late Saturday night press conference.
"This is super fresh information," she said.
Marla Bronaugh, MPS' chief communications and school performance officer, said the district did not know it had an infected employee when it announced Friday that it was closing schools beginning Monday.
Milwaukee Teachers Education Association spokesman Jon Knudson said the union only learned about it late Saturday.
In a statement, Milwaukee school board President Larry Miller said:
“The Milwaukee Board of School Directors are working diligently to make sure families are fully informed regarding this matter. We will continue to work with the administration and all agencies to keep families and staff informed as updates become available.”
Earlier in the day Friday, the union called on Gov. Tony Evers to close schools statewide, citing the "health of our students, workers and their families."
It said it believes the number of students and staff in the state who may already have the virus is likely higher than has been reported because of the shortage and lack of access to test kits, and that the schools don't have adequate staffing or supplies to keep buildings clean.
Evers ordered the statewide closure hours later.
Before the shutdown, the union called on the district to provide paid leave to anyone quarantined as a result of the virus. On Saturday, MTEA Executive Ben Ward said it is working with the district to ensure all employees are paid through the closure.
"The closure was the right thing to do to protect students, families and workers in the district," he said.
"It's incredibly important that our district and other employers take important steps to make sure workers are not economically harmed as they do what is right and stay away from other people to slow the spread of this virus."


Do you believe that music has healing abilities? I do. Whenever I find myself feeling discouraged and struggling with life goals; whether it is a blog post, short story, or some other large project- I pick-up my MP3 player and listen to my favourite song. (Usually while relaxing in my rocking chair). Immediately following the end of a ditty, I feel an instant change in my mood. Typically, I listen to tunes that I think are uplifting like, ‘Better Than I by Dallyn Vail Bayles’(Originally from the film Joseph King of Dreams). Or ‘Pure Imagination by Josh Groban (Originally from the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Yep! After hearing a few positive phrases from these artists’- I’m usually ready to hit the ground running! However, these wonderful works of art are not the only ones I listen too- I also concentrate on Christmas Music! (This probably doesn’t surprise you since you’re on a Christmas site!) In fact- Christmas songs are usually my first choice. And today I’m going to share with you the top 10 classic Christmas songs of all time!
Are you ready? Here comes the list!
1. Hark! The Hareld Angels Sing– this is the most powerful Christmas Song I have ever heard. The lyrics are incredibly uplifting, and the combination of instruments and choir is so beautiful it will make your eyes water and goose bumps run along your arms. I personally listen to this song every day. Actually, there are days where I spend 2-3 hours in my rocking chair just listening to Hark. (No joke. I really do this).
2. It came upon a Midnight Clear– this one is also a tear dropper. (But not as much so as the first song listed). Midnight clear has the ability to instantly send the listener into a state of relaxation with intense feelings of hope and wonder. Don’t believe me? Just close your eyes and concentrate. It will happen.
3. The First Noel– I have yet to meet someone who hasn’t heard this song at least once before; while it is popular to shoppers, Church goers, and Christmas Carollers for the songs favoured verse: ‘Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!’ Yes indeed. If you are in search of a popular tune to get you in the Christmas spirit- I can’t think of a better song than ‘The First Noel.’!
4. Silent Night- Oh, this is such a gorgeous melody! ‘Silent Night’ has appeared in best-selling novels, popular films, and HIT band CD’s. And I think it goes without saying that no matter how many different ways this song is presented- it is always fantastic. I have never heard a badly recorded version of this classic carol.
5. We Three Kings of Orient Are– If you ever feel lost in life or on Christmas Day- than I highly suggest you listen to this song to help you find your way! (Yes, that rhyme was intended). If you close your eyes and picture a bright star shining in an otherwise starless sky- than your troubles may not feel so troubling after all. It’s a great reminder that everyone gets lost now and then, but will always get where they need to go in the end.
6. O Holy Night– This song may be slow in speed, but it has an incredibly powerful verse that is guaranteed to send shivers up your spine every time you hear it. The verse is as follows: ‘fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine’ Mere words cannot describe how touching those phrases are- all I can say is- listen to it and find out for yourself!
7. Oh Come All Ye Faithful- A great tune to listen to (or sing along with) when you are sitting with friends and family. It is hard to say why- but for me the rhythm just has that impact. When you hear it on your own the verses feel empty. But when you’re surrounded by others- it feels cheery and meaningful.
8. Ave’ Maria- Do you like Opera? If so, than this is the Christmas Song for you! Traditionally, Ave’ Maria is sung by a male voice artist who sings the chorus in a high range manner- and holds the notes for an impressive period of time. A popular song and one that is well worth hearing. Especially for the first time.
9. Little Drummer Boy– Much like Silent Night– this song has been recorded many times. And frequently gets a special mention in sitcom holiday specials due to its wonderful message that although you may not have a lot of money- you can still give a meaningful gift! The song also has a memorable beat. A true classic indeed!
10. Away in a Manger- Unfortunately, this sweet little song gets shoved under the rug now days. Christmas music often gets turned into remixes, and although there is nothing wrong with that- there are some songs that just don’t sound right when you change up the tune- and ‘Away in a Manager’ is one of those songs. To sing it any-other way would just sound wrong or disrespectful. The sign of a true classic! So don’t let this song disappear completely Okay? Give it a listen every once in a while or put it on your music device so it has a permanent home.
Now, don’t let the moment get away from you – experience the healing magic of Christmas melodies, and keep them close to your heart all year long! I guarantee you that if these songs are listened to on a regular basis- you will feel more aware and hopeful about the future.
Happy listening, everyone!
Also, please keep in mind that the links provided lead directly to the artists’ full album. You may have to scroll a little bit to find the song you are looking for. But don’t worry- they are all there. 😀

Homewrecker Diaries: Iman Shumpert only played 14 games with the Cleveland Cavs this past season before he was traded to the Sacramento Kings where his time on the court was 0.
Now, the former Cleveland Cavaliers player Iman Shumpert is getting sucked into the Tristan Thompson scandal thanks to a vengeful Instagram Model aka THOT! Read on for all the tea spilling…
CelebNSports247.com has the latest on the Tristan Thompson scandal which is now pulling Teyana Taylor’s husband Iman Shumpert into the mess.
The Instagram Model known as Ms. Stephanie Woods decided to tease a photo implying she was sleeping with Iman Shumpert which pissed off his wife Teyana Taylor.
Taylor, who is NOT one to mess with, jumped on Twitter and basically wrote the entire thing off with a joke.
Yes, Teyana took the high road because she doesn’t have time for a THOT wanting a come up:
Despite Tristan Thompson’s side chicks heartless attempt to prove she’s nothing but a pass around chick with NBA players. Taylor responded to Woods claims dusting them off with this post:
What Ms. Stephanie Woods doesn’t realize is that she is playing with FIRE if she continues.
Woods didn’t stop there, she continued on responding with Instagram photos and more of her history with Iman. She even posted a picture of his banana to prove that he is cheating on Teyana.
Take a look at the exchange of social media posts from Tristan Thompson’s side chick because she is becoming ruthless:
This woman is nothing but a THOT out for her 15-minutes of fame and a come up. Why don’t athletes realize that any woman who says she’s a Instagram model is today’s gold diggers looking for a money grab?
Hello NBA, NFL and MLB check your players because they stuck on stupid for gold

What is UNISON’s pay claim?
UNISON submitted a pay claim to the UK government seeking an increase of least £2,000 by the end of this year for every NHS employee.
Any pay increase awarded in England would lead to an increase in funding to the Welsh government and we believe this money should be ring-fenced for pay in Wales.
The dedication and commitment of healthcare workers has been plain during the Covid pandemic and now is the time for NHS workers to receive proper recognition for the role they have played with an early pay rise.
Extra funding is needed from the UK government and we have asked Mark Drakeford and Vaughan Gething to join the union in publicly calling on the Prime Minister and Chancellor to centrally fund a fair pay award for NHS workers.

One is currently a Gopher sophomore
Is there a “franchise-changing” player in Thursday’s WNBA Draft? A Maya Moore, Brittney Griner or Elena Delle Donne, perhaps, three former high picks that transformed their respective clubs in their rookie summers?
Experts and analysts mainly saw this year’s draft as “point guard heavy,” but all that changed literally a few days ago when two early entry draftees — Minnesota sophomore Amanda Zahui B. and Notre Dame junior Jewell Loyd — brought a rare pre-draft buzz among non-WNBA media types. League rules are “strict” about players leaving early — frankly, it isn’t worth it, since the average minimum NBA salary is higher than a WNBA rookie salary.
Zahui B. and Loyd are the first players to leave school early to turn pro since Candace Parker left Tennessee after her junior year in 2008. The two aforementioned players are eligible because they will turn 22 during the draft’s calendar year.
“To have two players that have eligibility remaining to decide to head to the league is something that we haven’t seen before,” stated ESPN Analyst LaChina Robinson, “especially two players that change the draft dramatically.”
Robinson and fellow analyst Carolyn Peck talked to reporters, including the MSR, on the April 10 pre-draft conference call. “It started out as a unique draft and turned into a very special draft,” added Peck.
As a result, if selected Thursday by Seattle, Zahui B. will become the first Black player at Minnesota to be selected overall in a pro basketball draft. “I know it was going to become a big thing [when she made her intention to leave school] since I’m only a sophomore,” said the Swedish native.
Her now former college teammate Rachel Banham on Sunday told us, “I think everyone was a little surprised, but everyone felt she could leave as well and go into the draft and go high.”
“I watched her play in high school, and I recruited her,” recalled Pam Borton, the former Gophers coach, in an MSR phone interview last week. “We always knew she’d be a special player.” Borton now will have coached three WNBA lottery picks — Lindsay Whalen (2004), Janel McCarville (2005), and Zahui B.
SB Nation’s Nate Parham last week presented his case for top pick on both Zahui B. and Loyd:
“You know you’re doing something right when you’re been mentioned in the same breath as All-Stars like Tina Charles, Sylvia Fowles and Brittney Griner,” wrote the West Coast-based writer on Zahui B. On Loyd, he notes, “I watched more of her games than anyone else’s. She’s the full, almost unflawed package that is destined for perennial All Star status.”
“I think that she can have an impact,” noted Peck on Zahui B. “But I think it depends on which team she goes to and what’s she’s surrounded by.”
Added Robinson, “I’m very impressed with Amanda Zahui B. and where her game has grown.”
Zahui B. became Minnesota’s all-time blocks leader in two seasons and joined the 1,000-point club. She set Big Ten and school single-season rebounding records in consecutive seasons and set single-game marks this season with 29 rebounds, 12 blocks, and connecting on all 11 of her shots.
“Everything she did this season was not surprising,” said Borton. And this includes her former center’s decision to turn pro. “This is obviously something she has been talking about ever since she was in high school” and was a prime reason for her leaving Stockholm to play college ball in the States.
The MSR last week asked Zahui B., Cal’s Reshanda Gray, and Elizabeth Williams of Duke on their thoughts as draft day looms.
“Just keep calm and be reminded how blessed I am to be in this position,” said Amanda.
“I think, for me, stay calm. Just being around my family will calm me down,” said Williams.
“I’m just trying to finish the semester strong, because I graduate in May,” said Gray. “…My attentions are going towards more than worrying about the draft, because I really can’t control anything at this point.”
All three players are expected Thursday to be early first-rounders.
“I will be watching from afar,” concluded Borton. “Amanda is like my daughter… I’m proud of all of my players. I’ve coached them and recruited them. I love them all whether they were drafted or undrafted.”

A group of Sheffield Labour candidates have been promoting their support for the Green New Deal
This Tweet really saddened me because it is so obviously untrue. Green Councillors and candidates have been campaigning for a Green New Deal for many years. All the Green Party candidates support a Green New Deal for Sheffield. Nationally Caroline Lucas and Clive Lewis (Labour MP) have cooperated brilliantly together to promote the campaign in Parliament.
To successfully tackle the climate emergency it is vital for politicians to work together and cooperate. Instead of rubbishing the Greens, these Labour Candidates should be working with them and learning from their experience. The Labour for a Green New Deal movement have many good ideas and some of these people I consider to be my friends. However I have to call out the untruthfulness of this tweet.
It is very clear from the map that none of these candidates are currently in the Cabinet. So if they were elected they wouldn’t have the power to change the Council policies. The map also begs the question, what do the other Labour candidates support? The planet has not got time for us to elect politicians that are not taking the climate crisis seriously.
To be sure of voting for a candidate that makes the climate crisis the top priority, vote Green. Please do not vote for the following Labour candidates who are apparently not supporting the Green New Deal.
Adam Hurst- West Ecclesfield
Lisa Banes-Stocksbridge and Upper Don
Peter Price-Shiregreen and Brightside
Alan Law-Firth Park
Zoe Sykes -Ecclesall
Andy Bainbridge-East Ecclesfield
Samantha Nicholson-Dore and Totley

The acquisition aims to allow Plenty build field-scale indoor farms around the world.
Plenty, the leading field-scale vertical farming company reshaping agriculture to bring fresh and locally grown produce to people everywhere, announced the acquisition of Bright Agrotech, the leader in vertical farming production system technology, according to a press release. Brights technology and industry leadership combined with Plentys own technology will help Plenty realize its plans to build field-scale indoor farms around the world, bringing the highest quality produce and healthy diets to everyones budget., according to the release.
"Plenty grows food for people, not trucks. By making us all one team and formalizing our deep and close relationship, with a shared passion for bringing people healthy food through local farming, were positioned in a way no one else is today to meet the firehose of global demand for local, fresh, healthy food that fits in everyones budget," said Matt Barnard, CEO and co-founder of Plenty. "Everyone wins — the small farmer, people everywhere and Plenty — as we all move forward delivering local food thats better for people and better for the planet."
Bright has partnered with small farmers for over seven years to start and grow indoor farms, providing high-tech growing systems and controls, workflow design, education and software. Bright will continue its work, expanding its base of hundreds of farmers around the world.
"Were excited to join Plenty on their mission to bring the same exceptional quality local produce to families and communities around the world," said Nate Storey, founder of Bright Agrotech. "The need for local produce and healthy food that fits in everyones budget is not one that small farmers alone can satisfy, and Im glad that with Plenty, we can all work toward bringing people everywhere the freshest, pesticide-free food."

Love Food, Love You*
Book Lacks Needed Resources
The author states that if you follow her 6-week course of action as detailed in the book, you will come to a better place in your relationship with food. The author has a clear understanding of what motivates a too emotional connection to food. She states that her program will help break these emotional bonds and help you create a more normal approach to food. For each week, the chapter is divided into two sections, one section dealing with eating and the other with thoughts and emotions. Each chapter ends with an exercise that is supposed to help get more in touch with ourselves and our bodies. Supposedly, this book was taken from a 6-week course that the author has done live. I felt like most of the chapters were too short. For all the promises made in the first chapters, I didn’t really see how what she promised could be delivered by what was actually contained in the chapters. I haven’t had the time to actually work through all these chapters to actually say if they are efficacious or not. I do like that the author does try to impart that we need to be kind and forgive ourselves. We do tend to beat ourselves up in our relationship with food, only seeing our failings.
I did receive an ARC of this book. The link to the Table of Contents brings me to a blank page. I hope that has been remedied in the book offered for sale. I found another issue as well. The book does have links to her website for the meditations in the book; I am always glad when books with meditations do that. Unfortunately, I believe she recently had a server move or upgrade. I actually had to do a search on the first week’s meditation to find it as I was brought to a File Not Found 404 page when I tried to follow the link given in chapter one. Here’s the link to the currently available meditations for this book: https://www.theliferaft.org/lfly-resources-download. Unfortunately, not all of them are uploaded; except for the intro one, the text for the rest of meditations was not given within the book itself (so there is no way you can do them yourself without downloading them from the website). There’s a brief bring-to-body-awareness meditation mentioned in one of the earliest chapters before the 6-week adventure begins that is not at the website at all; the last three meditations are missing from the website, too. On the page that does contain the available meditations, she states that they are still in the process of moving things over so not everything is there. I run a website or five myself, and it would seem that it would take longer to type that excuse than to actually upload and link the meditations, but maybe that’s just me!
As four of the main seven meditations are actually missing at the website (and three of these four not actually given in the book), I feel like I can’t give this book a good review until these problems are remedied.
If the book had correct links so the meditations could actually be done (or even had all the meditation within the book itself), I would give this book 4 stars. As the book isn’t actually functional without the links, I have given it a one-star review.

Recently the dispute between Shumita Deb (daughter of legendary musician Late Manna Dey) and Saregama reached the Supreme Court where the latter agreed to remove and not make any further use of the photographs and the name of Manna Dey on the cover of the subject CDs on a without prejudice basis. As covered in our post here, the Supreme Court has directed that Civil Suit pending before the City Civil Judge at Bangalore shall be decided as expeditiously as possible preferably not later than one year after the next date of hearing.
What started out as a copyright infringement and moral right violation suit before the trial court in Bengaluru ended up shifting its focus completely to Section 31C of the Copyright Act (statutory licensing of cover versions) by the time it reached the Supreme Court
In my view this matter is of significant importance and should be watched out by the music industry as it deals with some issues in relation to cover versions and recreated versions of songs which have not been addressed before in any judicial precedent in India.
The premise of the dispute is as follows:
After the demise of Manna Dey in 2013, Saregama came out with a music album CD titled ‘Hoyto Tomari Jonno (May be only for you) as a tribute to Manna Dey containing 14 songs of Late Manna Dey sung by Smt. Swagatalakshmi. This cover version CD contained the name and image of Manna Dey.
In 2017 Manna Dey’s daughter Shumita Deb (“Plaintiff”) filed a suit before the City Civil Judge, Bangalore against Saregama India Limited and Sony DAC Manufacturing (I) Pvt. Ltd. In her suit, the Plaintiff primarily had the following claims:
- Violation of moral rights by distortion of the original songs of Manna Dey: The Plaintiff claimed that the songs sung by Smt. Swagatalakshmi were a distortion of the original songs of her father. That her father during his life time was against remixing songs and had made public statements about the same when interviewed. She claimed that in 1992 Saregama had made one cover version of Manna Dey’s song which was opposed by him after which there was a rift between the said label and Manna Dey and that the activities of Saregama in making the cover version were in utter disregard of the statements made by her father. Her primary grievance was that her father’s iconic and distinctive style was distorted and prejudiced by the action of the defendants as the manner in which the whole rendition was designed and the singing style and presentation was an outright violation and distortion of Manna Dey’s unique, iconic and generic style of singing songs.
- Copyright violation: The Plaintiff claimed that Saregama did not have the copyright in the said songs and had manufactured and released the CD without her permission.
- Illegal use of the name, photographs, symbols and sketches of Manna Dey on the CD and its promotions: The Plaintiff claimed violation of personality rights of Manna Dey as the cover page of the CD mentioned that it is a tribute to Manna Dey and added his photo to deceive the buyers and that Saregama had used the name of Manna Dey to sell its CDs. She further claimed that the said cover songs were also added in Saregama’s digital music player Caravan.
The Plaintiff accordingly (amongst other reliefs) prayed for injunction against the defendants from manufacturing and sale of the remixes, adaptations, cover versions and other infringements of copyrights and special rights of compositions and songs of Manna Dey over which she claimed to be the sole legal heir.
It would be pertinent to note that in the original suit filed before the City Civil Judge in Bangalore, the matter was not focused on Section 31 C of the Copyright Act (“Act”) which deals with statutory license for cover versions.
Saregama contended before the trial court that it is the owner of copyright and other rights over the songs contained in the impugned CD or the sound recordings or the literary works or musical works therein and there is no violation of copyright or moral right of Manna Dey as Saregama is the owner of the original plate of the songs. Further that Manna Dey during his life time had accepted the royalty amounts paid by Saregama. They also informed the court that out of the 14 songs mentioned by the Plaintiff, Manna Dey was neither a composer nor a lyricist in 12 songs and had no right to claim any ownership over the works of those songs and that he was only a singer of those songs. As regards remaining two songs in which Manna Dey was a music composer, Saregama claimed that all rights were assigned in its favour under the assignment agreements. Saregama also claimed that one of the clauses in these assignment agreements permitted it to use the artiste’s name or any assumed name on the record labels, record envelopes and other advertising materials. In its arguments before the trial court (recorded in paragraph 30 of the trial court order), Saregama contended that since the Plaintiff is not the owner of copyright in the musical and literary works incorporated in the impugned songs, no notice in compliance with Section 31 C of the Act was required to be sent to the Plaintiff at the time of making of the impugned songs and that Saregama being the owner of the copyright in the said underlying works of which it made a cover version, did not require a statutory license under Section 31C of the Act as the said provision is only for third parties who wish to make a sound recording of the literary and musical works owned by another party.
Initially an ad-interim injunction was granted by the City Civil Court on October 10, 2017. However, by a subsequent order on June 25, 2018 the City Civil Court dismissed the interim applications seeking an order of temporary injunction and held that if the Plaintiff succeeded in the suit, the Defendant would have to compensate the loss of the Plaintiff that would be arrived at the time of disposal of the suit.
Thereafter an appeal was filed by the Plaintiff before the Karnataka High Court. In the appeal, amongst other grounds, the Plaintiff contended that the trial court had failed to appreciate the mandatory provisions pertaining to reproduction and circulation of songs including cover songs stipulated in Section 31C of the Act and that the trial court had erred in observing that Saregama being the owner of the copyright in musical and literary works of which it had made a cover version did not require a statutory license under Section 31C of the Act and that the provision applied to third parties who wished to make a sound recording of the literary and musical works owned by another party. The Plaintiff claimed that the language of Section 31C does not distinguish between the owner and author of the songs and any other person desirous of making a cover version and therefore compliance under Section 31(C) is mandatory for every cover version.
[Section 31(C) (2) requires:
(2) The person making the sound recordings shall give prior notice of his intention to make the sound recordings in the manner as may be prescribed, and provide in advance copies of all covers or labels with which the sound recordings are to be sold, and pay in advance, to the owner of rights in each work royalties in respect of all copies to be made by him, at the rate fixed by the Appellate Board in this behalf:
Provided that such sound recordings shall not be sold or issued in any form of packaging or with any cover or label which is likely to mislead or confuse the public as to their identity, and in particular shall not contain the name or depict in any way any performer of an earlier sound recording of the same work or any cinematograph film in which such sound recording was incorporated and, further, shall state on the cover that it is a cover version made under this section.”]
However the High Court on December 13, 2018 dismissed the appeal in favour of Saregama and in relation to the Section 31 C claim, it held that the Plaintiff could not make use of that Section as she was not the owner of copyright.
This decision of the High Court was challenged before the Supreme Court where the main questions of law for consideration mentioned in the SLP were as follows:
“I. Whether the conditions specifically enumerated in Section 31C of the Copyright Act, 1957 in relation to statutory licenses for cover versions are mandatory in nature?
II.Whether a sound recording not made in accordance with the provisions of Section 31C of the Copyright Act, 1957 does not qualify to be a cover version and is thus not liable to be governed by the statutory license regime for cover versions?
III. Whether a sound recording made in respect of any literary, dramatic or musical work, which is not a legitimate cover version due to non-compliance with the mandatory conditions under Section 31C of the Copyright Act, 1957 would amount to infringement of the underlying literary, dramatic and musical work under Section 51 of the Act, if the same is made without due consent or license of the owners of the rights in the works, or if the same is made in contravention to the conditions of the license?
IV.Whether a sound recording made in respect of any literary, dramatic or musical work which is not a legitimate cover version due to non-compliance with the mandatory conditions under Section 31C of the Copyright Act, 1957 resulting in infringement of the exclusive rights of the owners of the underlying works, be liable to be restrained by way of injunction under Section 55 of the Copyright Act 1957?
V. Whether the use of late Shri Manna Dey’s photograph/ portrait/ image and his name, without his express consent or that of his legal heir, would amount to violation of late singer’s personality rights and have the likelihood to mislead or confuse the public as to the identity of the sound recordings?
VI.Whether in making a cover version in respect of any literary, dramatic or musical work, the person making such sound recordings can make any alteration in the work which has not been made by or with the consent of the owner of rights and which is not technically necessary for the purpose of making the new sound recording, and whether such alteration would amount to distortion of the work in terms of Section 57 of the Copyright Act, 1957 resulting in infringement of moral rights of the author of the literary or musical work?
VII. Whether in making a cover version in respect of any performance, the person making such sound recordings can use another performer, while using the erstwhile performer’s name/ image in respect of the cover version, and whether such an act would amount to infringement of the moral rights of the erstwhile performer under Section 38A of the Copyright Act, 1957?”
As can be seen from the aforementioned questions raised in the SLP for consideration, the entire focus of the matter seems to have now shifted to Section 31C of the Copyright Act. The reason why this matter should be watched out by the music owners is:
(i) While the order passed by the Supreme Court does not contain any mention of Section 31C of the Copyright Act, this case has opened the issue of whether Section 31C applies to cover versions made by the entity owning the copyright in sound recording and underlying works or applies only in relation to a third party seeking a statutory license under Section 31C?
(ii) While several authors and singers like Shri Javed Akhtar, Smt. Lata Mangeshkar and others have voiced their concern against recreated versions, there was no case filed by them against the labels making such versions. This case opens up the issue of whether recreated versions or cover versions amount to distortion of the original works thereby resulting in violation of moral rights of the authors/ performers.
(iii) This case opens up the issue of violation of personality rights by use of name/ artwork containing images of the authors/ performers.
If these issues are decided in favour of the Plaintiff before the trial court, such a judicial precedent would have far reaching implications in the current practices being followed for recreated versions. For all those who have seen the older music agreements would know that most of these agreements were not iron clad when it came to issues such as right to make derivative works, right to use name, image, likeness of the artists, waiver of moral rights to the extent permissible in law, etc. With the growing market for recreated and cover versions, it is important that there should be clarity on what can and cannot be done without requiring further consents from the artists of the original version.

Very good weeknight recipe, easy, fast, and tasty.
Very tasty...definitely satifisfied my craving! I added baby eggplant, 2 T. tomato paste, and a bit more hot pepper flakes...so easy and delicious!
VERY easy, VERY good. Wonderful "summer" flavor with the fresh basil. Definitely a keeper!
This was an incredibly tasty dish that came together with very little effort. Highly recommended!
I had doubts about this recipe because I wasn't sure how my family would feel about the anchovies. I was so surprised when they all LOVED this dish! It's great for a mid-week after work meal!
We cooked exactly as written and found this to be an easy weeknight dish that tasted great - served with Georgian cheese bread for a satisfying meal!
Quick, easy and so tasty. I added a few things...Small can of roasted red toms in addition to the plain canned tomatoes, and a few dollops of tomato paste to thicken. I also made my own anchovy paste since the store did not have any...just ground up some anchovies in the food processor with the oil....I am not even a hard core pasta person and I thought this was great.
Made this last night on my daughter's first night home from college. Everybody loved it (including my husband who doesn't love olives). Easy, tasty. Next time I may up the red chili flakes.

China is unwinding its massive stockpiles of cotton and readying to implement direct-farmer subsidies, potentially depressing global prices of the raw material.
The dramatic downward price swing already under way and the possible impact throughout the supply chain brings to mind the chilling spring of 2011, when natural disasters from flooding in India to a drought in Texas provided the catalyst for cotton reaching historic highs that exceeded $2 a pound. The ensuing panic forced companies to seek out alternative fibers and fabrics, brought about a new era of cotton blends and a boost to New Age polyesters and fibers such as Tencel and flax.
The reversal of fortune three years later is more likely to impact bottom lines then material choices, but the fashion world can react in unpredictable ways.
Regulators have yet to give specifics on how subsidies will be calculated and distributed to farmers, but the price for cotton deliverable toward the end of the year has begun to decline on the Intercontinental Exchange’s market in response to the policy shift announced in January. Analyst predictions vary for when the government will announce the specifics on how the system will be administered, but agree that regulators must announce the rules before the growing season begins next month.
At the same time, China’s shift in cotton policy could have a more positive impact in the longer term. International Cotton Advisory Committee executive director José Sette welcomed the change, arguing it would improve the competitiveness of cotton, but said more details are needed before making long-term predictions on how the policy will affect world markets.
“The Chinese reserve policy has kept prices of cotton above their long-term equilibrium level,” Sette said. “While helpful to farmers in the short run, these high prices have hindered the long-term competitiveness of cotton vis-à-vis competing fibers and hurt demand for cotton substantially.”
The change could have broad implications for the apparel industry. In the short term, a steady fall in cotton prices should lead the inherent value of cotton in various stages of production, from the field to the underwear on the store shelf, to decrease, leading to “losses on inventory,” said Thomas Reinhart, head of sourcing in China for cotton trader Paul Reinhart AG.
“The moment where a bale of cotton is being sold to the industry until the underwear is being sold over the counter, I think even with the fastest possible logistics you will have three to four months…of consumption always somewhere in stock in the pipeline and that becomes worth less and less, that is a constant cost,” Reinhart said, predicting that cotton prices will fall steadily during the next six to eight months.
James Ma, on the trading desk at Chinese firm Founder Commodities, similarly warned of losses on inventory for those early in the supply chain, such as yarn spinners. But in the long term, as prices stabilize at a lower level, producers stand to gain from lower costs, Ma said.
China is by far the largest consumer of cotton, using an estimated 8.3 million metric tons in the 2012-13 season compared to the second-largest consumer, India, using 4.8 million metric tons, according to ICAC. China was also the largest importer in 2012-13, bringing in 4.4 metric tons of cotton.
China has additionally amassed the largest reserves of raw material under the government stockpiling program. ICAC, which represents cotton producing countries, projects that at the end of the current season, China will have 58 percent of the world’s cotton reserves.
The international market for cotton has not waited to react. Benchmark ICE Cotton 2 futures were at 68.74 cents a pound on Monday for October delivery, down from a high of about 95 cents in early May. The average spot price traded in the U.S. for the week ended Friday was 70.14 cents a pound, compared with 79.03 cents two weeks earlier and 81 cents a year ago, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“The world market is anticipating a strong decline in the market price between July and December,” said Reinhart.
Chinese government auctions have cut the sale price for cotton 750 yuan per metric ton, or about 5.5 cents a pound, to 17,250 yuan per ton, or about $1.26 a pound, driving the domestic benchmark price for cotton on the open market down 10 percent, according to Angela Chan, Shanghai-based representative for U.S. trade organization Cotton Incorporated.
The most important question facing the international cotton market is how much less China will import in coming crop years, Chan said.
Founder Commodities’ Ma said it could take two to three years to unwind the stockpiles, keeping the price for cotton depressed. However, some analysts said the government will maintain some stockpiles and, after a period of adjustment, international and domestic Chinese prices will be more in line in the long term. If prices stabilize at a lower level, those making cotton apparel would stand to benefit. Declining prices could also entice yarn spinners back to China, which has recently been losing ground to Southeast Asia, Reinhart said.
“The Chinese government are no fools and they don’t want to destroy the market for their own reserve,” he said. “So they most likely will try to dispose of that reserve in an orderly fashion and not lead to a market panic.”

Talking about the privilege of other white women. Is it just me, or is there some regina-george-esque takedown shit going on with this concept of white girl privilege? Cause instead of talking about how the first Maasai warrior princess is a spoiled white chick who used her experiences of another culture to make $$ and that's bad, and she's terrible, and also not that cute, why don't we just...not talk about her? No one was gonna post an upset status about not hearing about her on any news sites. She is not like, Syria, or Genoa (tvisreal), or the red wedding. Ain't nobody got time for her so let's stop using up the precious amount of internet we have left to cover her and other privileged white women before global warming melts it all.
Hows about we just cover the people who we aim to "protect" or "defend" or "consider" with our "check ur privilege" cries? How about they find some news about actual POC and stop talking about how rude it is to not think about POC and try to appropriate/accessorize with POC? Whether you're praising miley cyrus or denouncing her culturally-insensitive twerks & simulated analingus, you're still ignoring the back-up dancers you supposedly wish to see front and center instead of her. Why didn't we see one interview with one of those women, asking them how they felt about it? Why is it that all we saw were gifs of the Smith family's faces on buzzfeed? Because it's easier to cut and paste an image of a black person reacting in the way you want him or her to instead of, you know, giving someone the human treatment and asking directly? I forget, do we even have reporters anymore, or just expert googlers/email first responders?
guys...journalism. Is it still gonna be a thing by the time we all graduate life?

IN THE CIRCUIT
COURT OF THE SIXTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
IN AND FOR PINELLAS COUNTY FLORIDA
vs.†††††††††††††††††† ††††††††††††††††††††††† ††††††††††††††††††††††† ††††††††††† Appeal No. 99-003962CI-88B
Opinion Filed 4-20-2001.
Appeal from a decision of the Pinellas County Court,
County Judge Stephen Rushing
Edward C. McFadden,
Attorney for the Appellant.
Thomas G. Hersem, Esquire,
Attorney for the Appellee.
††††††††††† THIS MATTER is before the Court on Cindy and Andrew Jablonskyís appeal from a decision of the Pinellas County Court granting Theresa Ertleís Motion for Summary Judgment. After reviewing the briefs and record, the Court affirms the trial courtís decision in part, and reverses and remands the trial courtís decision in part.
††††††††††† Ms. Ertle, the appellee, pled that she had an oral lease when Mr. and† Mrs. Jabolonsky, the appellants, filed suit for her failure to vacate the premises. The trial court granted Summary Judgment in favor of Mrs. Ertle. Mr. and Mrs. Jablonsky suggest that the trial court erred in finding that there was such a lease in granting Summary Judgment. Mr. and Mrs. Jablonsky argue that they were in possession pursuant to a purchase agreement. The trial judge rejected that position.
††††††††††† All of the contentions made by Mr. and Mrs. Jablonsky involve resolution of evidentiary conflicts and interpretation of evidence. Mr. and Mrs. Jablonsky have failed to present a transcript or any other record that would permit this court to review such a claim. As indicated in Larrea v. Larrea, 745 So.2d 440 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999), it is impossible for the court to evaluate these concerns when such a transcript has not been provided. Furthermore, without a transcript present in the record on appeal, the trial courtís Final Judgment cannot be reversed unless the trial court made an error of law. See Casella v. Casella, 659 So.2d 848 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990). Therefore, the trial court was correct in granting Summary Judgment regarding this matter.
††††††††††† Mr. and Mrs. Jablonsky further assert that they had some legal right to the property pursuant to an option agreement. This is incorrect because an option agreement does not provide them with any legal or equitable right in the property. In Gautier v. Lapof, 91 So.2d 324, 326 (Fla. 1956), the court clearly indicated that the presence of an option does not establish an estate for the optionee. The court further stated that until the optionee actually exercises the right to purchase the property, he or she has no legal or equitable right to the property. See id. Therefore, this court affirms the trial courtís decision regarding this matter.
††††††††††† Finally, Mr. and Mrs. Jablonsky argue that the trial judge erred in dismissing the counterclaim for failure to pay a filing fee as ordered. They are correct regarding this matter.
†Rule 1.170(j) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure clearly provides that if the filing fee for transfer is not paid, the case should remain pending and proceed within the jurisdictional limits of the court where the counterclaim was filed. The rule specifically states that, ďfailure to make the service charge deposit at the time the counterclaim or cross claim is filed, or within such further time as the court may allow, shall reduce a claim for damages to an amount within the jurisdiction of the court where the action was pending and wave the claim in other cases.Ē† Although it is unlikely that Mr. and Mrs. Jablonsky pointed that out to the trial judge, it is nevertheless the law and they should be permitted to proceed in county court on their counterclaim. However, the damages in any event cannot exceed $15,000, which is the county courtís jurisdictional limit.
††††††††††† Accordingly, this court finds that the trial court ruled correctly on Ms. Ertleís claim that she did in fact have an oral lease, and that an option agreement does not give Mr. and Mrs. Jablonsky a legal or equitable right in the property. However, the court reverses the trial courtís order dismissing the counterclaim and remands this cause to the trial court for action consistent with this opinion.
††††††††††† IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the order of the trial court is affirmed in part and reversed and remanded in part.
††††††††††† DONE AND ORDERED at St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida this 20th day of April 2001.

The prompt for a few weeks time from Meeghan is to create a book poem from 5 books on our shelf. The poem I created ended up having a feminist vibe, so I decided to publish it on a Wednesday as it is International Women’s Day.
It is called a Women’s work is never done. The first book I used was the biography of an MP Harriet Harman who’s book was titled a woman’s work with the implication it is never done.
The second book Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus is about the struggles of a female chemist in the 1960s. She has to battle to prove herself. She becomes a Mother and compromises by presenting a tv cookery show but she uses it as an opportunity to empower women by teaching them ‘lessons in chemistry’ . I wrote the poem shortly after reading it.
The third book stuck out to me because the title is so fun! So I chucked it in as part of a list of things women get on and do in their lives. How to measure a cow is by Margaret Forster. I like that she did not use her husbands surname to publish her books!
The poem finishes with describing a woman after a busy day putting children to bed. Lullaby is a book by Leila Slimani who is an interesting author that I have seen speak as she is Muslim from Morocco living in Paris. I have also read her collection of essays called Love, Sex and Lies and her other fictional work Adele.
Kiss, kiss fitted with Lullaby. I had not been particularly trying to right a feminist poem so this turned out to be the only book by a male writter. It is a collection of short stories for adults by Roald Dahl.
A Woman’s Work is Never done
A woman’s work;
Lessons in chemistry,
How to measure a cow,
Lullaby, Kiss, kiss
If so, how about seeing whether a gender pay gap exists?
It only takes 30 seconds.
Follow this link and type in company.
Gender pay gap figures disclosed by the UK’s biggest companies have shown that the vast majority of them pay men more than women.
However, about 13% pay women more on average than men. Some 7% said they have no pay gap at all.
I have never got that much, into Big Bang. But recently, watched quite a few days as on E4. I have not seen latest series, so there are no spoilers in here!
The two main things I do not like, are:
- Bernadette’s squeaky voice.
- The premise scientists are geeky and can not also be fun, pretty, handsome. In contrast non scientists are pretty, blonde air heads.
That being said, I have enjoyed an episode, I have recently watched. Bernadette is feeling torn about leaving newborn daughter to return to work. She wants to set, her daughter a good example and work. She want’s to continue career started. But she does not want to leave infant daughter and only see her briefly at bad time. She feels bad about what she thinks and does not want to admit it. I think this is very relatable. When she tells Howie, I think his response is wise. He basically shows empathy, by not trying to solve problem and says he does not know right decision either. But he says whatever decision made, it is reversible and their daughter will not remember.
In last couple of days, I have also watched an episode where the guys are thinking of ways to encourage female scientists. One possibility discussed is blinded peer review of research papers to prevent discrimination of women. However, they then decide to go into schools to encourage girls. However, they bore the girls. Sheldon then gets the idea of getting Amy and Bernadette on the phone to talk to the girls. Amy and Bernadette are at the time, having a princess make over at Disneyland. As they talk they do not reveal they are dressed as princesses. Whilst I think women can do more than be princesses; I think dressing in dresses and pink can be combined with being a scientist.

Hawaii Health Department confirms 10 cases of locally-acquired dengue fever
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Health Department has confirmed 10 cases of locally-acquired dengue fever on Hawaii Island.
The 10 people were residents and visitors, said Dr. Sarah Park, state epidemiologist.
Dengue fever is spread by mosquitoes, and is not endemic to the islands.
The Health Department is focusing its vector control efforts on areas of Kona. However, Park said that cases have been found elsewhere on the island.
Officials said no other islands have reported cases.
"It's important for Big Island folks to understand that no matter where you live or work that you could potentially be at risk and we don't know if the risk is over or how long it's going to go last," Park said.
"Most of the people will have what we call mild to moderate symptoms and they will recover however there is a small percentage that can develop severe dengue."
The 10 cases bring the total number of confirmed cases of dengue fever in Hawaii to 23 so far this year.
There were 14 cases in 2014, and 10 in 2013.
The symptoms of dengue fever include a sudden onset of fever, severe headaches, eye, joint, and muscle pain, and rash. The rash typically appears on the hands, arms, legs and feet three to four days after the fever begins.
The symptoms usually go away within one to two weeks.
There's no cure for dengue fever. Typically, doctors suggest bed rest and acetaminophen.
How can you keep from getting dengue fever?
Here are tips from the Health Department:
- When traveling to areas that have dengue fever, try to avoid exposure to mosquitoes.
- Use mosquito netting over beds, and screens on windows and doorways.
- Use mosquito repellents and wear appropriate clothing such as long-sleeved shirts and long pants that reduce exposure to mosquito bites.
- Mosquitoes are drawn to dark colors; so if possible, wear white or light colored clothing when you are likely to be exposed to biting mosquitoes.

As global life sciences & materials sciences company DSM continues to support its customers’ drive to achieve increasingly ambitious sustainability targets, the company continues to set important benchmarks in lowering its own environmental footprint.
In 2012, DSM has dramatically reduced the level of water consumption at its engineering plastics compounding site in Pune, India. The water footprint of the operation, where the company produces compounds of thermoplastic polyesters and polyamides, has been slashed by two-thirds, thanks to increased process water recycling and strict monitoring of potential water leakages.
DSM’s Pune site, which has been operating since 1998, already has a strong track-record of highly efficient water management. It was one of the first DSM sites to completely eliminate waste water from its production process. Since 2010, all water used on the site has been treated, checked and reused for gardening purposes. These latest improvements in Pune are a reflection of DSM’s ongoing efforts to reduce environmental footprints, both within its own operations and along its value chains.
Sustainable solutions as a key driver
DSM regards the search for sustainable solutions as a key driver for success and profitability. In addition to reducing the environmental footprint of its operations by reducing energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissions, it is also driving sustainability via the plastics it produces and in the applications they are used for.
Fredric Petit, Sustainability Director at DSM in engineering plastics, says: “In order to deliver the most sustainable customer solutions for Engineering Plastics, DSM focuses its Bright Science on a number of key aspects of products and product development, such as EcoPaXX® and Arnitel® Eco, innovative developments in the use of feedstocks derived from renewable resources and more eco-efficient application solutions. DSM offers alternatives for materials with hazardous concerns (for example its portfolio of halogen- free flame retardant solutions) and searches for materials with recycle content that can be recycled end-of-life.”

The scope of the project is to develop and test methods for designing and implementing innovative and sustainable Strategic Plans for Waste Prevention and Management in various urban contexts that will enhance urban environmental resilience and guarantee progress towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns together with improvements waste recovery and recovered materials use. Urban_Wins will define a data set, based on material flow indicators, capable of supporting and orienting decision making processes for urban waste prevention and management. Knowledge of the factors that influence the metabolism of cities will be improved together with the understanding of how those factors can be transformed in positive drivers of technological, non-technological and governance changes. The information set produced by the consortium will also focus on how a more efficient use of resources and a better management of waste can improve urban quality and citizens’ welfare, key points for urban stakeholders involvement, both in the planning and implementation of actions. The proposal reunites diverse actors such as cities, research institutes and universities, environmental NGOs, IT&C, technological innovation and waste management companies, professional associations that represent EU regions, sectors and levels of governance. The complex partnership guarantees that advancement in EU research in the field of urban metabolism and waste management strategies is directly linked to stakeholder engagement and mutual learning and contributes to the achievement of resource efficiency and waste management objectives. Urban_Wins analytical tools will be built on the base of datasets and experiences of 24 EU cities from 6 European countries and the Strategic Plans will be tested by 8 EU cities and will encompass regulatory measures, educational initiatives and sector specific actions.

NEW RACER ENTRY – Hanz Kwon
Vehicle Year, Make, Model
2010 Ford Mustang GT
I am currently a college student at Glendale Community College and I plan on transferring to a University where I can pursue a teaching career. I have always been an automotive enthusiast and I currently work as a part time private tutor and as a host at a sushi restaurant. I am a down to earth person and I enjoy meeting other car enthusiasts as well.
Personal Best 1/4 Mile
I have never drag raced before but I have gone road racing at Chuckwalla and Streets of Willow.
How did you get started in the import scene?
In high school, my first vehicle was a 1989 Toyota Supra Non turbo and I have been loosely following the scene since 2007.
Why did you choose this car?
I chose this 2010 Ford Mustang GT because my family and I have always been into domestic and muscle cars. I enjoy imports as well, but I am very passionate about Ford and its heritage.
What makes your build unique?
My build is somewhat unique because people are surprised to see a heavy mustang at the track. It has a JLT Stage 3 cold air intake, SCT Tuned, a Mishimoto Auto Transmission Cooler, and a custom muffler delete. I plan on getting Steeda lowering springs and a line lock system in the near future. I would love to invest more, but education is my current priority.

Bryant Gordon pulling double duty during senior year
Published 8:46 am Tuesday, April 21, 2020
Bryant Gordon is wearing many hats during his senior year.
Gordon attends Selma High School and is in the dual enrollment program at Wallace Community College-Selma. He’s a successful honor student at both schools and also played on the Saints’ football team.
Next month, Gordon will graduate with an Associates’ Degree at WCCS. At WCCS, Gordon has a 3.7 GPA.
At Selma High, Gordon has a 4.07 GPA. He admits that it’s a juggling act, especially with online classes.
“It’s tough, but I’m pulling through,” Gordon said. “I was a little discouraged about the school closing and not seeing my friends. I’m leaving it up to God. I was already taking online classes at WCCS.”
Gordon has earned two accolades during a hectic senior year. He received a $5,000 scholarship from the Selma Quarterback Club in November. Gordon also attended the Delta Sigma Theta Cotillion and received a certificate of appreciation.
During the fall, Gordon will attend Mississippi State and major in Kinesiology and minor in Sports Studies. Gordon said he’s looking forward to attending MSU, an SEC school based in Starkville, Mississippi.
Gordon, a member of the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS), said he will take several memories of Selma High with him to Starkville.
“My biggest memories at Selma High School are playing football and setting a good example for other students,” Gordon said.

Last night, T-Mobile celebrated the announcement of their Un-carrier X live streaming feature by hosting a Bruno Mars Concert. Over 6,000 T-mobile customers and fans were wrapped around the block at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall. Among the audience were a few of our favorite celebrities. Jaime King decided to look over the cold weather and wore a sheer ensemble that showed off her long legs. The temperature definitely did not prevent her from having fun, as she ran up to model friend Keleigh Sperry, to give her a huge hug as she was going through the red carpet. Jaime wasn't the only one whose leg-revealing outfit created a buzz. Olivia Munn wore an ivory outfit consisting of a mini skirt, a blouse and a matching coat.
The crowd was excited about Bruno Mars but the secret extra performance kept everyone guessing. We were pleasantly surprised to see Zedd open. He had the entire Shrine Auditorium on their feet as he played his track. Following him, Lil Jon and DJ Vice took the DJ booth. Although, Lil Jon did not perform, he kept everyone entertained by playing old time hits. The energy instantly rose when Bruno Mars and his enthusiastic band and back up singers came on stage. Bruno performed some of his most well-known songs, from "Just The Way You Are" to "Billionaire." He managed to find the perfect balance between his slow and impressive vocal performances and keeping the crowd on their feet with his upbeat songs. He closed out his encore with one of his latest hits, "Uptown Funk," which was a great way to end this eventful night with a bang.

Shortly after Rilo Kiley announced a reissue of their seminal 1999 debut album, several indie artists who attribute their career to the group decided to pay homage to the iconic band. Musicians like Sad13‘s Sadie Dupuis, Adult Mom, Mannequin Pussy, and more announced a benefit compilation project covering Rilo Kiley’s The Execution Of All Things album.
Announcing No Bad Words For The Coast Today: The Execution Of All Things Covers Comp on Friday, Dupuis shared the album’s lead single, which is her fuzzy reimagining of Rilo Kiley’s track “Paint’s Peeling.” In a statement alongside the single, Dupuis discussed how Rilo Kiley has influenced her own music:
“I bought the Execution of All Things over Saddle Creek’s mail order, and remember listening over and over again to ‘Paint’s Peeling’ on my tiny bedroom CD player, blown away by the song’s final explosion into all-consuming distortion. Years later, when Speedy Ortiz was mixing Twerp Verse with Mike Mogis in Omaha, I was very amused to see a trophy the band had made for him in the studio, awarding him ‘For Outstanding Achievements as a True Devastator of the Recording Arts.’ I wanted to pay homage to that ‘devastato’ heaviness by slowing the song down and, for the most part, putting it in a waltz time–almost like Sleep covering Rilo Kiley. But I couldn’t help myself from incorporating some of the poppier Mogis production trademarks, like Casio-ish beats and cavernous backing vocals. As a teen, RK was one of my biggest songwriting influences, and Jenny Lewis (who Speedy has been lucky enough to open for/go out dancing with) continues to inspire me with each of her projects, so it was a treat to return to the record that first drew me into their world.”
Along with praising Rilo Kiley’s influence, the album will also benefit a charity organization. Proceeds from the project will be donated to G.L.I.T.S., a NYC-based social justice, advocacy, and service organization that addresses the health and rights of transgender sex workers.
