I (Andy) have been your neighbour for two months short of nineteen years. You have been a wonderful friend and neighbour in all that time. It was a pleasure to have known you. Good night and god bless. Since coming to live in Scholes (Brenda) when Andy and I got married Marlene has always made me feel very welcome. I really enjoyed getting to know this lovely little lady with the shy sweet smile. We both enjoyed talking about gardening. Marlene was so pleased to see the hard work her brother David put into our garden transforming it from a wilderness to a place of beauty which she could also share from her window. I will miss her so much. God bless you Marlene. XXX

Mergers and Acquisitions – Trends for 2012 and Beyond

By Generational Equity

m and a trends for 2012

As with most sectors in the U.S., the first half of this year was slower than expected in the M&A industry. A variety of factors, not the least of which is the uncertainty over the Eurozone crisis combined with the unknown regarding long-term tax policies post-election, created this slower-than-expected environment.

When this happens we often hear from business owners that they are going to wait until “things get better” before they decide to start the exit planning process for their businesses. The key issue to consider is that generally it takes 12-18 months to close a deal with an optimal buyer. This means that by the time you realize that “things have gotten better,” the timing of your exit may actually place outside of the prime window to do so.

In addition, we always like to ask this question: By what measure will you know when “things have gotten better”? Most entrepreneurs usually indicate that leading economic indicators such as employment growth or quarterly GDP expansion will give them an idea of when things are getting better. Since these data points tend to get reported after the fact, you may not learn that things have gotten better until well after they improve. How does that affect your timing?

The reality is most analysts expect the remainder of this year, 2013, and 2014 to be prime for finding buyers. As the folks at Kramer Capital Research recently put it:

“Companies are sitting on a tremendous amount of cash. It reached the highest levels in more than two decades last year. When companies have stockpiles of cash, they put it toward business expansions, stock buy-backs, dividend increases, or, you guessed it – M&A activity. In an economic environment that makes it difficult to grow organically, many companies will use their piles of cash to go out and buy growth.”

Based on conversations we have regularly with buyers, we concur with the analysis by Kramer Capital Research. There is simply too much capital that needs to be invested, by both strategics and equity firms, for the ensuing months not to heat up in activity.

What History Tells Us

We need to balance this discussion with a longer-term perspective. The following chart illustrates this:

Source: Thomson Financial, Institute of Mergers, Acquisitions and Alliances (IMAA) analysis

As you can see, the recent high watermark for worldwide M&A activity was in 2007 when the total number of deals announced worldwide reached nearly 50,000. The low point during the Great Recession was in 2009 when the total dropped to approximately 42,000.

For comparison purposes though, look at the last trough during the recession of 2002 when deals announced dropped well below 30,000. The next five years deal closings rose dramatically. Look also at the recession in 1992. After that low point, we saw eight straight years of significant deal closings.

So what does history teach us? That despite economic malaise and political uncertainty, we should experience a number of years of solid growth in deal making. Again, the climate is ripe given the capital available to buyers right now.

Another striking aspect of the chart above: Every trough in deal making activity that occurs is HIGHER than the high point just a few years earlier. For example, the low point in deal closings in 1992 was actually higher than 1990’s total. The trough in 2002 was very similar to 1996, which at that point was a record-breaking year. And the bottom of the last decline in 2009 was nearly equal to the number of deals announced in 2006, which was another record year at the time.

Another observation can also be made: The time to enter the market with your company is at the beginning of an M&A cycle. This is when buyers are most active and valuations tend to be more favorable for sellers. This is the point of the cycle we are currently in.

So the time to sell is when several factors converge: active buyers, low interest rates, and positive valuations. The time not to sell is when you learn six months after the fact that GDP grew by X% in a quarter. By the time you learn this fact, the cycle could be well on the way up.

What You Need To Know Before Going to Market

Bottom line: Before you can hit the market with your company as an investment opportunity, you have to have an idea of what it is worth in today’s market. The best way to determine this is to have a professional and thorough evaluation completed on your business by an experienced M&A advisory firm. It is disturbing to meet business owners at our M&A conferences who tell us that they are going to sell their company on their own. The question becomes, what offer will you know to take since you have no idea what your business is worth? Sadly, far too many entrepreneurs make this mistake. Selling your company for less than it is worth is one of the five most common mistakes.

No matter what, remember that based on historic data, it is pretty clear that we are entering into another M&A growth cycle. If you are at a point in your life where exiting and moving on – or finding an investor with which to partner and grow the business – sounds interesting to you, then you need to take advantage of this next cycle. Don’t be like so many who were waiting in 2007 “for things to get better” and mistimed the last cycle.

Product Description
Common use

Micronase contains glyburide, which lowers glucose levels in the blood. It belongs to the diabetic drugs of sulfonylureas class. Insulin is produced in the pancreas and reduces synthesis of glucose by the liver and stimulates cells in the body to remove glucose from the blood. Type 2 diabetes occurs in the patients whose body either does not produce enough insulin or fails to use insulin properly. Glucose levels produced by the liver increase and pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to make the cells resistant to it to work properly. Micronase stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin.

Dosage and direction

Initial dose of Micronase is 2.5-5 mg daily. The maximum dose is 1.25-20 mg a day. Take Micronase with the first main meal of the day.

Inform your doctor if you have a heart condition, Micronase and similar drugs may lead to more heart problems than diet treatment alone, or diet plus insulin. Blood and urine should be tested for abnormal sugar in the patients taking Micronase. Follow the diet and all recommendations of your doctor. Micronase and any other antidiabetic drug may become less effect with time due to diminished responsiveness of the organism to the drug or because of worsening of the diabetes. Notify your doctor if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.

Micronase cannot be administered to the patients if there is allergy to similar medications such as chlorpropamide or glipizide, those suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis. Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis are caused by insufficient insulin: nausea, fatigue, excessive thirst, pain below the breastbone, and fruity breath.

Possible side effect

The most common adverse reactions to Micronase are nausea, bloating, heartburn, rashes, low blood sugar, blurred vision and weight gain. Serious but rare side effects include hepatitis, jaundice, and hyponatremia. Hypoglycemia is mostly likely to occur in elderly, weak, and undernourished people, and especially if they liver, adrenal, kidney, or pituitary gland problems. Avoid drinking alcohol, missing meals, taking medications which were not prescribed to you, as the risk of hypoglycemia increases. Factors of risk may also be fever, infection, surgery, trauma, or excessive exercise.

Drug interaction

Micronase cannot be combined with Bosentan (Tracleer) due to increase in liver toxicity and reduction of the effect of the both drugs. Bosentan also increases katabolism of Micronase in the liver.

Thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide (Hydrodiuril) may increase glucose concentration in the blood and reduce effects of Micronase. Inform your doctor about all prescribed and over-the-counter medications you are currently taking and especially about: fluoroquinolone type antibiotics such as levofloxacin (Levaquin), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), antidiabetic agents such as Micronase, airway-opening drugs (albuterol), anabolic steroids (testosterone,danazol), antacids, aspirin, beta blockers (atenolol and propranolol), blood thinners (warfarin), calcium channel blockers (diltiazem and nifedipine), antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, Chloramphenicol, Cimetidine, Clofibrate, Estrogens, Fluconazole, Furosemide, Gemfibrozil, Isoniazid, Itraconazole, tranquilizers(trifluoperazine and thioridazine) MAO inhibitors, Metformin, Niacin, NSAIDs (diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen), oral contraceptives, Phenytoin, Probenecid, prednisone, sulfamethoxazole, thiazide diuretics (chlorothiazide and hydrochlorothiazide),

Missed dose

If you forgot to take your dose in time, please do it as soon as you remember. But do not take if it is too late or almost time for your next dose. Do not increase your recommended dose. Take your usually dose next day in the same regularly time.

Overdose symptoms of Micronase include pale skin, seizure, coma, shallow breathing and are stipulated by low blood sugar. Contact your doctor or seek for immediate medical help if you exerience symptoms listed above.

Store at room temperature between 59-77 F (15-25 C) away from light and moisture, kids and pets. Do not use after expiration term.

//Why Have a Pre-Listing Inspection?

Why Have a Pre-Listing Inspection?

A pre-listing inspection is what it sounds like; it is a home inspection done before listing a house on the market for sell. While having one does not eliminate the need for a potential buyer’s home inspection before the official sale of a house there are several reasons making it a good idea for anyone looking to sell their home.

The first and most important thing to know about any inspection is that it will reveal issues. An inspector’s job is to find things out of compliance or that pose a hazard. Whether they are hired by the seller or the buyer it makes no difference. So having a pre-listing inspection can better prepare you for what you may encounter from potential buyers as a result of their inspections. It may also have the added benefit of reassuring a potential buyer.

Before a safety issue impacts the sale of a property, a pre-listing inspection can help identify what needs addressing. Issues can be corrected and may help the seller establish a realistic pricing for the property. If the plan is to sell the house as is this type of inspection can help make it clear exactly what issues exist. This may appeal to buyers looking for a “fixer-upper,” but want to have a good idea of what they will be taking on.

Scheduling a pre-listing inspection can be easier to arrange allowing for a seller to shop around for available inspectors. Since there is no pressure to find an inspector by a certain time an appointment can be made at the seller’s convenience without having to worry about last minute disruptions to their work schedule or whether or not the house is fit for company.

At Georgia Pro Inspection Company we serve all of Metro Atlanta with reliable home inspection services. We perform detailed home inspections and provide easy to read information with illustrated reports regarding your home. Call us today at (770) 655-0536 for your more information.

20 Most Popular Towns in the Northeast USA 2018

GetawayMavens.com (“Bringing you the best offbeat escapes in the Northeast”) is 5 ½ years old, and with over 450 destinations from Virginia to Maine, it has garnered plenty of worldwide attention. Proving that readers are a romantic bunch, the most searched and read post by far is “Most Romantic Destinations in the Northeast USA.” But what were those destinations exactly?

The following most popular cities and towns, and for the second time most searched hotelsaccording to number of page views as reported on Google Analytics – indicate either enormous pride or outsized interest or both.

In 2018, the State of NY came out on top with 8 towns and parts of NYC in the Top 20. That’s a whopping 40%.

Is your town or city on the list? How do you get there? Granted, it’s part luck, but you can help that along by sharing widely and often on social media.

We’ll be compiling the Top 20 each year, so stay tuned. The following 20 destinations garnered the most pageviews on Getaway Mavens from January 1 2018 through December 31, 2018:

DUMBO Reflector Sign - DUMBO, Brooklyn, NY

  1. Beacon NY: The steady-Eddie Beacon is back on top as the Getaway Mavens most searched destination. Tens of thousands of people remain curious about this former mill town on the Hudson, a trendy home to DIA:Beacon, plenty of great restaurants and one stunning boutique hotel.
  2. Norwalk CT: Home to two family favorite attractions – the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium and the much lauded Stepping Stones Children’s Museum – Norwalk makes it on this list for the first time. Known also for an increasing number of excellent restaurants and a couple of boutique hotels, interest in this Southern CT town has been on the upswing.
  3. Provincetown MA. Though one of the Getaway Maven’s first posts in 2013, there apparently was a resurgence of interest in this “edge of the world” town last year, as it moved from 10th place to one of the top spots. On the tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown is high energy and gay in all definitions of that word. It’s beautiful, fun and free-spirited and perfect for like-minded souls.
  4. Laurel Highlands PA. There’s plenty of renewed interest in The Laurel Highlands region of Western PA, about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh, first published several years ago, and updated in 2018, with the addition of Mr. Roger’s hometown of Latrobe. Moving up from 11th place, there is obvious interest in Fred Rogers, with the fantastic documentary and the upcoming feature film starring Tom Hanks (who came here often to research). The area is so spectacular, it proved the ideal setting for several Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces and it’s where you’ll find a Truman-Show-esque small town, fantastic whitewater rafting, and one of the most unusual yet luxurious resorts so quirky, it could serve as Poster Child for the offbeat Getaway Mavens.
  5. Woodstock/Phoenicia NY: The planned location for the Music Festival that was ultimately moved to Max Yasgar’s Farm up the road in Bethel NY, the small town of Woodstock remains a hippy-dippy kind of place with drum circles, art galleries, and lots of tie-dyed-in-the-wool residents. On this list for the first time, all ages seem to be interested in the mystique of the “Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out” generation.
  6. Cold Spring NY: New on the list this year, nostalgia seems to be driving interest in this Hudson Valley village. Main Street Cold Spring looks like a perfectly preserved time capsule wrenched from 19th Century America. The entire center of the village was placed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its more than 200 well-preserved structures.
  7. Oxford MD: The tiniest town is back! Off the last year, there’s not much going on in this Chesapeake Bay burg, except for a couple of terrific inns and stunning setting. A chill-out destination for sure.
  8. Sleepy Hollow NY: Home to Washington Irving – author of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to connect with the Headless Horseman in this Hudson River NY town, especially around Halloween. Moving up from the #12 spot, there’s still lots of curiosity about Rip Van Winkle’s home town.
  9. NE CT Quiet Corner CT. Down from the #2 spot last year, this little known section of Connecticut apparently has many fans – or at least curious researchers. Connecticut’s Northeastern-most section, bordering Rhode Island and Massachusetts – has been dubbed the “Quiet Corner.” But there’s an energy here that’s driving positive changes, mostly of the artistic and culinary sort, in the small towns of Putnam, Pomfret, Woodstock, Brooklyn, and Killingly/Danielson.
  10. Frederick MDNumber 7 last year, Maryland’s second largest town is still a contender. With a stunning downtown canal-walk that swarms with locals on balmy days and nights, brick row homes, adorable boutiques, and growing culinary scene, Frederick feels like a mini-Philly but has a charm all its own.
  11. DUMBO/Brooklyn NY: New to the list this year, the section of Brooklyn “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass” has been garnering followers with fantastic photos and a 24-hour itinerary that covers lots of ground.
  12. Clinton/Madison CT: Moving up from #20, apparently the Madison Beach Hotel, phenomenal independent R.L. Julia Bookstore, and “best lobster roll” Lobster Landing keep ‘em coming to these Long Island Sound set towns.
  13. Seneca Lake NY: Though it dropped from 5th place this year, interest in New York’s Finger Lakes (and locally sourced wine) remains strong. In September 2018, T-BEX – the world’s largest Travel Blogging Conference – took place here, boosting this sleepy area of upstate NY to worldwide prominence.
  14. Boyertown PA: Moving down from 3rd position this year, tiny Boyertown PA still draws lots of views. With more heart and soul than many larger towns – its nostalgic luxury Tourist Railroad, art, and history packed into a walkable downtown is one of those “good things in a small package.”
  15. Calvert County MD: Another surprise this year. Though written in 2015, there seems to be revived fascination in Calvert County on the relatively unexplored “Western Shore” of the Chesapeake, where visitors can hunt for fossilized shark teeth, participate in an ongoing archeological dig, and watch watermen ply rivers, creeks, and the Chesapeake Bay for oysters and crabs.
  16. Stonington CT: First time on this list, the Long Island Sound set Stonington CT is home to Connecticut’s last commercial fishing fleet. Stonington’s downtown – known as “The Borough” – is so adorable, it stood in as a Maine waterfront town in the Meryl Streep/Tommy Lee Jones movie, Hope Springs. Wedged between the more commercialized Mystic and the Rhode Island State line, Stonington has got authentic New England cred without the crowds.
  17. Martha’s Vineyard MA: Moving down from last year’s 6th place, this Massachusetts island still has lots of fans.
  18. Times Square, Manhattan NY: The second NYC district on this list (see DUMBO above), and new this year – the Getaway Mavens tell you where to eat, drink, and stay in (and the best way to negotiate) one of the most crowded intersections in the world.
  19. Richmond VA: Also new on the list this year, and, according to many, not exactly in the “Northeast USA,” there’s a vibrant, youthful, Brooklyn-before-it-got-upmarket vibe in Richmond and great ways to access that energy. The Getaway Mavens clue you in on this getting cooler by the year, cusp-of-Old-South escape.
  20. Fire Island NY: A beach vacation just a few miles from the most populated city in the USA? Absolutely. Come off-season for a real respite. New on this list, Fire Island is apparently coming back into favor (not that it ever left among locals).

    Top 10 Lodgings 2018

    New this year are the Top 10 most searched hotels, inns, and B&B’s featured on Getaway Mavens according to number of page views as reported on Google Analytics:

    1. Inn By the Sea, Cape Elizabeth ME
    2. Cliff House, Cape Neddick ME
    3. Buttermilk Falls Inn, Milton NY
    4. Round House @ Beacon Falls, Beacon NY
    5. Montreal Beach Resort, Cape May NJ
    6. Omini Bedford Springs, Bedford PA
    7. Migis Lodge, South Casco ME
    8. Lodge at Woodloch, Hawley PA
    9. Inn at Bowman’s Hill, New Hope PA
    10. Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, Farmington PA

    Beacon NY Kayaks

    And finally, though they may not have shown up on 2018’s Most Searched List, the following towns and cities have had the highest number of searches from Getaway Maven’s inception (June 2013) to date:

    1. Beacon NY
    2. Buffalo NY
    3. Martha’s Vineyard MA
    4. Frederick MD
    5. Boyertown PA
    6. Seneca Lake NY
    7. Provincetown MA
    8. Northeast Corner CT
    9. Hershey PA
    10. Onancock to Cape Charles VA
Psst! Pass it on.

Young people who are interested in representing the views of their peers are invited to stand in this year’s Youth Cabinet Elections.

Closing the door on cultural freedoms in the era of “web celebs”

In mainland China the internet has remained a territory of contention when it comes to economic, social and cultural rights (ESCRs), even as policy makers have allowed greater realisation of many key freedoms.

For economic and social rights, the battle lines are often clearly drawn: online platforms enable farmers to sell crops to a larger customer base at standardised market prices, but workers are forbidden from independently organising via cheap smartphones linked to ever more ubiquitous social media platforms – and, indeed, can be monitored through them when they do.

Since the 2013 accession of party secretary Xi Jinping, who has led the longest and most robust crackdown on civil society in decades, the contradictions within the cultural sphere have grown markedly as well.1 Yet for many ordinary citizens whose chief concerns are framed in more personal economic and social terms, relentless restrictions on expression may be felt most keenly through the utter lack of compelling content broadcast by Chinese television stations.

Mainland TV is, by even domestic estimations, an endless sluice of substandard slop: anodyne variety shows, staid historical propaganda and the endlessly repeated tropes of a half-dozen genres of television drama.

Enter Jiang Yilei, aka Papi Jiang, whose essentially apolitical monologues launched her to stardom in early 2016 as the year’s first big “web celeb” (网红 or wang hong – literally “net”, for the internet, plus “red”, signifying popularity). Recognition of her work’s widespread resonance among young and mobile web-ready Chinese would ultimately net her millions in venture capital funding.

It would also draw the pointed attention of the party-state just as it ramped up efforts to tighten regulations on online content, charting a trajectory for Jiang in which her economic rights – underpinned by the exercise of social and cultural rights – would hit their political limits.

The Constitution of the People’s Republic of China grants citizens extensive rights including freedom of speech and assembly, but its preface states that all such guarantees are subordinate to the permanent leadership role granted to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

China is also a signatory to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), and the standing committee of its rubber-stamp legislature ratified the convention in 2001. But it did so with the proviso that the Covenant’s assertion of the right to form trade unions (Article 8, clause 1) must be carried out in accordance with its constitution, trade union laws and labour laws, which forbid the independent organisation of labour outside the state-controlled All China Federation of Trade Unions.2

In 2007 then-party secretary Hu Jintao made CCP supremacy still more explicit with the doctrine of “Three Supremes” placing party interests above the law. The end of Hu’s term was marked by a growing clampdown on civil society both on the street and online (see GISWatch 2014)3 – a drive his successor, Xi, kicked into high gear with a sustained campaign against rights-defence lawyers, domestic and foreign NGOs, activists of every stripe and journalists generally.

This has been accompanied by renewed controls over mass media, smothering attempts at new and original TV programming and driving those in the arts and cultural sector still hoping to break new ground to seek opportunities on China’s online video-hosting platforms such as Youku (优酷)4 and iQiyi (爱奇艺).5

The resulting profusion of more compelling cultural content has been accompanied by financial inflows enabling these and other sites to sign budding talent and turn out shows that viewers consider more relevant, thereby posing an even greater threat to traditional broadcasters whose bread and butter has out of necessity become increasingly conservative and predictable.

The rise and falter of Papi Jiang

It was in such an environment that the first major web celeb of 2016 would make her debut. Shanghai native Jiang Yilei, a 29-year-old graduate student in her final year at Beijing’s prestigious Central Academy of Drama, had worked in media and theatre before. But the videos she began uploading in October 2015 were something else entirely.

Under the stage name Papi Jiang, she delivered rants in rapid-fire, occasionally profane vernacular, clocking in at three to four minutes apiece. With the addition of a computer-modulated, preposterously high falsetto, Jiang gave comically exasperated voice to the everyday hardships and frustrations faced by many young people in China.

A typical example excerpted below from “The Fourth Rule of Male Existence”6 is delivered in the span of about ten seconds through a series of rapid cuts of Jiang dressed in a different outfit for each line, reacting to an unseen boyfriend’s latest less-than-stellar gift:

How much did you spend on this thing?

So this was on sale recently, wasn’t it?

Am I only worth 30 yuan, then?

What the fuck am I supposed to do with this cheap little gift from the heart?

It has nothing to do with price!

You paid too much.

Tsk… it’s a little inappropriate to spend that much…

I’m always telling you not to waste money!

October also marked the first complete publication by state news agency Xinhua of comments by Xi Jinping about contemporary Chinese culture made one year earlier.7 These amounted to blanket condemnation of mainland China’s popular art and media as vulgar and culturally harmful, paired with quotes from Marx, Lenin and Mao and emphasising the continued necessity of patriotism and “positive energy”. For example:

Contemporary arts must also take patriotism as a theme, leading the people to establish and maintain correct views of history, nationality, statehood, and culture while firmly building up the integrity and confidence of the Chinese people.8

This conservative outlook on media and culture would quickly be reflected in practice. On 20 January the hit gender-bending online drama “Go Princess Go” – in which a bawdy playboy is changed into a woman and sent back to the dynastic era, where he falls in love with a prince – was pulled from major video sites, along with four other low-budget online dramas.9

Meanwhile, buzz continued to grow about Jiang’s videos, prompting observers to christen her China’s first web celeb of 2016. Columnists highlighted the growing power of “self-media” stars who thrived outside the traditional celebrity industrial complex. Some suggested a growing number of “Papi Jiangs” were upending China’s old celebrity economy, one in which budding stars had to depend on appearances in dramas and variety shows produced by stolid state-run broadcasters to achieve national exposure.

Renewed focus on the growing importance of content and intellectual property in such columns suggested a new stage of maturity for China’s historically plagiarism-plagued domestic media ecosystem. But on 24 February another, still more popular online drama – this one depicting a romance between two male teenage students – was removed from major video platforms.

Three days later Li Jingsheng, head of China’s State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT), announced at a TV industry meeting that online dramas would be subject to the same regulations as televised dramas. At the same meeting Luo Jianhui, head of SAPPRFT’s online audiovisual programming management division, told attendees extra attention would be paid to “shows that lead to heated discussion”.10

Further clarity on the clampdown came as local media reported on new “General Rules on Production of Content for Televised Dramas”, approved by SAPPRFT on 31 December and announced at the same 27 February meeting of Chinese television producers. These forbade depictions of homosexuality, magic, violence and the use of vulgar language.11

Jiang’s star continued to rise, as did the number of her fans: on Youku her videos were garnering around two to three million views apiece. On the microblogging platform Weibo her followers totalled almost eight million. By mid-March search trend data from internet services giant Baidu would show queries for “Papi Jiang” rising to a frequency of around 40,000 per day – practically on par with searches for “Xi Jinping”, though still less than half as searched-for when compared to a top-tier celebrity actress such as Fan Bingbing.12

On 20 March Jiang’s status as a web celeb and social phenomenon in her own right was further vindicated by the announcement that she had secured CNY 12 million (around USD 2 million) in venture capital funding from major institutional investors, including the prestigious Zhen Fund, as well as from the respected host of the online talk show Logical Thinking (逻辑思维).

It was a truly groundbreaking development, but not all the attention Jiang garnered was positive: on 22 March Lin Yuhong, vice-director of the influential Communist Youth League’s Centre for Network Film and Television, had criticised Jiang for using coarse language. Lin warned of Jiang’s negative influence on young people’s development and called on relevant government departments to “manage” her for deploying words unbefitting of a “properly raised young woman”.13

Lin’s call to action appeared to have little impact. But on the morning of 18 April online rumours swirled that SAPPRFT had ordered Jiang’s videos taken down for containing profanity. Her investors lashed out at these claims, branding them malicious, and representatives at the video sites concerned denied having received any orders to pull Jiang’s work.

By that afternoon rumour had turned to reality. At around 4 p.m. the party mouthpiece People’s Daily posted an article on its Weibo microblog account stating that SAPPRF had ordered Jiang’s videos taken down for containing vulgar expletives, and that “they can go back online after being rectified.”14

The paper claimed in its post that “as a result of reports from the masses and expert evaluations,” the regulator had demanded Papi’s videos be taken down and scrubbed of profane content before they could be uploaded again. It also helpfully provided uncensored examples of profanity from her work, including “oh fuck” (卧槽) and “little bitch” (小婊子).

Soon all but a few of Jiang’s original rants had been removed from Youku and iQiyi. That evening Yang Ming, CEO of the media company formed with Jiang using venture capital, issued a public apology that maintained the videos had not been censored – authorities had simply demanded they be “adjusted”. He also drew attention to a new video about dieting that Jiang had published on the messaging service and app ecosystem WeChat that “contained not a single word of coarse language.”15

In comments accompanying those of Yang, Jiang made explicit the effective new state of curtailed online expression: “In short, regulation has become more stringent, with uniform standards for online and offline media; if a television station can’t broadcast it, the same applies online.”16

In those comments and in an uncharacteristically penitent Weibo post, Jiang noted that she was “willing and happy to accept criticism” and pledged to conform with content demands and “spread positive energy” henceforth. In the context of mainland Chinese politics, the latter term refers to pro-party, pro-government, nationalist sentiment – by nature uncritical and essentially anathema to Jiang’s trenchant social satire.

To drive its point home, the People’s Daily published an editorial the next day titled “Growth Cannot be Barbarous” calling out Jiang for her use of profanity and citing Xi Jinping’s call for a “clean and healthy” internet, which he compared to a “spiritual garden”. The paper went on to outline a more palatable vision for “self-media” in Chinese culture – one in which individuals like Jiang popularise the party line among the populace at large:

With sufficient tolerance, rationality and forbearance such “media dinghies” can be channelled into a broadcasting fleet. Only through use of their vivid, lively expression and their diverse, adaptive forms can true “invisible propaganda” – simultaneously “saying what they want to say” and “telling what we want to tell” – be achieved.17

Jiang’s videos were soon back online, sans expletives. Indeed, the censorship incident may have ultimately given her far greater exposure: on 18 April, Baidu queries about “Papi Jiang” hit an all-time daily high of more than 254,000. She has since managed to sustain public interest such that her first live-stream broadcast on 11 August was reported to have drawn more than 27 million simultaneous viewers at one point.

Following a successful first auction of advertising rights for CNY 20 million (about USD 4.5 million), Jiang and her investors announced plans to launch a YouTube-like service. However she ultimately fares, though, the outlook for meaningful online cultural expression and exchange in China is less certain than ever.

State media have produced a steady stream of articles describing Jiang’s success as a one-off and suggesting that fleeting web celeb status is not worth chasing, even as other publications noted the rapid development of a “web celeb supply chain”.

These and other measures suggest that the party is seeking to reassert and reinforce its authority over China’s cultural sphere, a development with substantial ramifications for the exercise of ESCRs. As in the case of Papi Jiang, the right to cultural participation with any real social resonance can be revoked when it does not sufficiently adhere to party precepts on content and tone, even if this entails undermining an individual’s economic rights to the material benefits of their work. Indeed, the greater one’s economic success from socially resonant work, the more substantial curbs seem likely to be when imposed.

This is borne out in other developments at the nexus of economic, social, and cultural rights in China. Live-streaming sites like those used by Jiang to interact with fans during her August broadcast have become another go-to platform for aspiring stars. Most users seek low-level fame online, endorsing certain brands for compensation, selling their own goods or relying on donations from viewers who like what is being broadcast – for example, a suggestive pose struck by an attractive individual. But such activities were cited by authorities in the announcement of a three-month crackdown on streaming sites whose content was deemed too vulgar.

Other media both new and old have likewise come under increasing regulatory pressure from SAPPRFT, which in late August explicitly pledged to cap celebrities’ “astronomical” pay, curb the flaunting of wealth, halt the “blind, shallow” promotion of stars and web celebs, and curb broadcasting of “mistaken ideas” such as fame seeking, money worship and overnight stardom.18 Entertainment news outlets were also told to avoid featuring these topics or elevating the pursuit of a “Western lifestyle”.19

By undermining the attractiveness of artistic expression as the foundation for economic success, regulators are seeking to maintain their monopoly on the definitions and discourse of culture. This limits the right to real cultural participation by the majority of citizens, whichever side of the lens they are on. But in ratcheting up controls just as new and domestically resonant cultural phenomena are starting to flourish, Beijing is also likely to forestall the most promising developments of a sector in which it frequently bemoans the enduring popularity of Western movies and television shows – despite regulations to limit their prevalence.

Such efforts to meld pop culture and the party line are unlikely to enjoy the popularity of works produced through less tightly regulated cultural activity – even if the success of the latter is limited by state-backed efforts to promote the former. Thus when another instance of high-visibility success results from artists claiming their economic, social and cultural rights online, it may push authorities to clamp down still further on their exercise.

Jiang’s story may yet somehow prove otherwise, but thus far her experience suggests that in China today, to walk through any door that remains open online to critical acclaim and commercial success is, more often than not, an invitation for the state to promptly close it to others behind you.

Action steps

The following observations in support of activism in China can be made:

  • There is little sign that government pressure on the arts and cultural sector will let up any time soon, but the exercise of ESCRs remains far less restricted in online video compared to traditional television stations.

  • The tension between policy makers’ increasingly conservative cultural policies and the need for new drivers of economic growth is likely to allow online video to retain some degree of freedom in the near term, but basic familiarity with the growing skein of content regulations will be an ever more important prerequisite for avoiding unexpected curbs on rights expression.

  • In most areas of online popular art and culture, transgression of content regulations previously only applicable to traditional media now leaves those engaging in cultural participation online vulnerable to sanction and punishment; less overt, more gradual expansion of subject matter that is not expressly forbidden is less likely to prompt authorities to push for still greater curtailment of rights.

  • The reaction from Jiang and her backers provides a useful template for self-preservation in the event of being targeted by authorities for the exercise of ESCRs online: apologise, maintain innocence to the greatest possible extent, and promise greater adherence to the regulations cited.

Chelsea & Arsenal target faces 'uncertain' future

Published Add your comment

Football News

Arsenal and Chelsea target Gary Cahill insists he is staying calm about his future - despite admitting he has no idea where he will be playing next season. reports how the 25-year-old Bolton defender, who is out of contract at the Reebok Stadium in the summer, has been the subject of intense transfer speculation over the past six months.

Having been courted by north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham in the summer, it is Chelsea who now appear favourites to land his signature in an attempt to shore up their fragile defence.

Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas is under increasing pressure following Sunday's 2-1 Barclays Premier League defeat against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, condemning Chelsea to their third loss in the last four outings.

The Portuguese tactician has earmarked defensive reinforcements as the main priority in January, and has been linked with an £8million move for Cahill.

However, the Blues could face competition from Gunners boss Arsene Wenger who may renew his interest in the England international in the New Year, following deadline day signing Per Mertesacker's slow start to life at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite increased speculation surrounding his future, Cahill is adamant he will not be unsettled by rumours, and revealed how he is taking the transfer talk in his stride.

"There's no disguising the fact I am out of contract at the end of the season, so there will always be speculation," he confirmed. "For me, it's just a matter of keeping focused and playing football and trying to play at the top of my game.

"Nobody has a crystal ball so no-one has a clue what will happen. I am contracted to Bolton and they have been fantastic.

"I will deal with whatever is in front of me if and when it arrives."

These Amazing Artworks Were Created Entirely In Microsoft Paint

Image: Patrick Hines

Patrick Hines' graphic novel "Camp Redblood and The Essential Revenge" goes to show that given enough time, you can do pretty much anything with the most rudimentary of tools. Short of cracking open a hex editor and inputting the RGB values yourself, Microsoft's Paint is as basic as it gets to creating art. Somehow, Hines managed to craft an exquisite series of cartoons and publish them via ebook using the lowliest of image editors.

Speaking with The Manual's Bryan Holt, Hines provides the perfect analogy for the painstaking effort required to create art with Microsoft Paint:

“I always thought of the Paint window like the hole Tim Robbins was digging out of his cell in The Shawshank Redemption, with the “minimize” button being the girly poster that hid it,” said Hines.

Hines apparently sharpened his skills starting in 2004 while working nights at a hospital. Microsoft's array of built-in games failed to hold his interest and so, Hines was left with Paint. Turns out the humble application helped him find his artistic "voice":

“On paper I was always trying to be another artist, but in Paint it felt like I’d found my own voice. I kept going back though, trying to learn the other programs because I wasn’t “supposed” to work in Paint, but I always gravitated back to it.”

You can see his work via his DeviantArt page or alternatively, hit up Amazon for his opus, Camp Redblood and The Essential Revenge.

Friendship: 6 Ways to Keep in Touch With a Friend Who Lives Far

We've talked a good deal about long-distance relationships; those can be so tough. But when it's a close friend who lives far from you, it's easy to feel just as bummed out. If you've got a pal who lives across the country—or in another country all together—and you're worried about effect the distance is having on your friendship, click on through six super easy ideas to stay close.

Mail a postcard or two. Or twenty.

Pick up a few inexpensive postcards and send one (or a few) at the same time each week. The great thing about postcards is that your available space is rather limited so you don't feel pressured to write novel-length notes. Instead, scribble a quick one or two line message or even an inside joke the two of you share.

Make a date on Skype

Seriously, what did we do before Skype? I've been waiting for this technology since watching The Jetsons cartoons on Saturday mornings. Set up a weekly date with your pal on Skype to catch up, vent or just giggle together.

Send a care package

Every now and then, maybe once every other month, send your friend a package with sentimental goodies tucked inside. You could bake a yummy treat like brownies to send to her. Or you might even send her a magazine article you think she'd get a kick out of. Once a friend sent me a magazine clipping about why The Jersey Shore is so popular. I was in a silly mood for the rest of the day.

Set up a texting date

At a certain time each week, make it a point to send each other a text. It could be a simple message like, "Have a great day" or even a silly joke. When my best friend moved away to college, we'd text each other the lamest jokes we could think of each week. Oddly, no matter how dumb the joke was, we'd always crack up.

Start a book or movie club

Agree to watch the same movie or read the same book one month. Then once you're both finished, you can gossip all about what you liked and didn't like. You could take turns picking out which books or movies you two will take in.

Have a coffee date over the phone

Grabbing a cup of coffee (or tea) is such a sweet and intimate act. And just because you live in different time zones doesn't mean you can't capture that feeling. Each of you can make a cup of your favorite drink and curl up on the couch while talking on the phone. It's just about the next best thing to hanging out with your pal in a café.

Do any of your close friends live far? What are some of your favorite ways to stay in touch?

Let's get friendly…

These are your U-try selections. Only U-try eligible clubs appear here. 2 club limit.

Our U-try golf club demo program lets you try out a brand new golf club from the game's top brands for 14 days and only $25 a club. That's right—you get a brand new, still-in-the-plastic club to try for two weeks for just $25.

You get to try it when, where, and how you want for two weeks before deciding if you want to buy it or not.

Want to test out two different brands, or two different configurations? No problem. U-try lets you try out up to 2 clubs for $25 per club.

This isn't 30 minutes on the range with range balls, a pro looking over your shoulder, and an awkward conversation at the end about whether you want it or not.

U-try gives you the freedom to test drive the club on your course, at your pace, with the golf ball you play. Use it as much as you like so you can really know what the club will do for your game before you invest in it.

If you don't love it, simply put it back in the box it came in, use the included prepaid return shipping label, and send it back to us. That's it.

If you do love it, that's awesome! You keep the club, we'll subtract the $25 trial fee off the final cost of the club, and we'll charge you the difference.

Case Manager Question:
Download Questions PDF

Explain me what steps do you take to ensure that client confidentiality is properly safeguarded?

As a case manager, I am highly aware of my role in maintaining and controlling the information for a given case. This means that access to case information is only given to authorized persons at the law firm. I am also careful never to discuss clients and their circumstances outside the purview of what is necessary in the course of providing legal services, even with my coworkers at the firm. In addition, I keep my personal social life, including social media, completely separate from my professional activities. I do not discuss clients with my friends and family at all. Even disguised or vaguely stated descriptions can be unethical, as they violate the expectation the client has of complete confidentiality in what are often highly sensitive matters.

Global distributes USD32mn to its clients investing in its private equity fund, GMFA

Global Capital Management (GCM), the alternative asset management arm of Global, has distributed USD32million to its clients investing in its private equity fund, Global MENA Financial Assets Limited (GMFA).

The distributed amount, which represents around 14% of the Fund's current Net Asset Value (NAV), is the result of successful exits from two portfolio companies, effectively managed and operationally transformed by the Private Equity Asset Management team of Global along with other shareholders of the portfolio companies. The first exit is from Asian Finance Bank, a boutique corporate bank in Malaysia and the second from Bindar Trading and Investment a leading consumer finance company in Jordan.

Sulaiman Al-Rubaie, Deputy CEO of Global and Managing Partner of GCM commented: “We continue to deliver our commitments to our clients. These distributions come at challenging times for the regional capital markets witnessing low liquidity and challenging business environment. We had put in tremendous efforts to build the value in these assets by working closely with the management and other shareholders. We are proud that the private equity funds managed by Global have been consistent in value creation and portfolio exits, which pave a way for constant cash distributions to our clients since inception.”

Zakir. H. Rizvi, Partner at GCM commented: “Through an effective involvement and value creation strategies, we were able to grow the portfolio companies and improve operational profitability. Both portfolio exits were executed at competitive multiples, thanks to the value creation, right timing, and effective exit strategies pursued by the GCM team.”

With this distribution, the total amount distributed to clients investing in GMFA reached USD141mn and total amount distributed by the private equity asset management team reached USD 612 million to funds’ investors since inception. Private Equity funds managed by Global have undergone a successful operational turnaround in many of their key investments which had put most of the portfolio companies back on positive growth trajectory. The Private Equity Team of Global has managed 45 exits since inception and 34 exits since 2009.

It is worth noting that Global MENA Financial Assets Limited "GMFA" is a Guernsey incorporated fund offering attractive absolute gains through investment in a diversified portfolio of financial and non-financial sector assets, focused predominantly in the MENA Region including Turkey.

Banners and Advertising Stands: Get Your Message Out!

Giant Sales! Unique and Innovative Products! New and Improved Systems! There is nothing quite like a hanging banner to get your message out about your business, service or event. When people are looking for a new product, they watch for these signs. Providing flexibility and affordable portability, the visually appealing attraction invites potential clients to your trade show booth, where they will look over your products and services. Banners are the ideal choice to get your message across, because they are versatile enough to be used horizontally and vertically, both in and out of doors. With bright fields of bold color and clear messages, banners can make or break your sales projections.

Easy to set up and take down, product and advertising banners can make the difference when getting that elusive sale. A dynamic booth is a sure draw for potential clients. Modular setups are easy for any novice assembler to put in place; all you have to do is open the package, pull up the vertical banner and you're ready to go. Eye-catching displays that use easy-to-read messages work well to enhance visual impact and bring people closer to your booth.

Another way to get your message across at trade shows is to use smaller stands that also double as information depots. This way, brochures, business cards and other promotional materials can be made available to people passing by. Some vertical banners even have pouches or brochure holders mounted directly to the face to allow the message to get across as well.

Vertical banners also offer a smaller legroom in and around your booth while still getting your message out there. If you'd like even more room in your booth, then overhead banners will work better for you. It's always important that potential clients don't feel "closed in" when they visit your booth at the trade show. Comfort invites conversation, and talk is money in the world of new business.

Research well to find out what messages will catch peoples' attention. Using "NEW" and "IMPROVED" and other phrases like "INNOVATIVE" will bring the curious consumers to your booth. Using vertical stands on either side of your booth with another across the top is a great way to promote your product. People like to see that you care enough to spend money on promoting your products. It makes them feel secure and it lets them know that you're going to be around for a while. Don't be afraid to ask the people who drop by your booth what attracted them to your area. It might give you quite a bit of insight into how better to spend your promotion dollar at the next trade show you attend.

Top 10 excursions and tours in Goa

Updated on May 26, 2017 by Alastair McClymont

Blog > Top 10 excursions and tours in Goa

Choose from a great range of excursions and tours in Goa and benefit from exploring every nook and cranny of this awe-inspiring destination.

The state’s 105 kilometres of coastline ensures that lazing on the beach is always an easy activity for anyone on Goa holidays. But while relaxing and rejuvenating goes hand in hand with a holiday in Goa, there are several tours and excursions on offer to holidaymakers that will give great reason for leaving your beach towel for a day or two. From exploring the history of the state to delving into the hustle bustle of a vibrant market, here’s our list of the top 10 excursions and tours in Goa.

1. Glimpses of Goa

Our Glimpses of Goa tour is the perfect way of exploring the history and heritage of the state. From the Portuguese colonial era to grand Hindu temples, there is an endless stream of culture ready to be discovered on this fulfilling tour of Goa.

2. Goan houseboat

Arguably one of the most charming and relaxing excursions in Goa, spending the night on a traditional Indian houseboat will conjure up the romance of exploration. Equipped with your very own room and some delicious Goan cuisine, the waters of the Siolim River will be your setting, featuring a stunning sunset as you keep a look out for dolphins and the area’s diverse birdlife.

3. The spice plantations

You can’t escape the influence of the state’s spice industry during your holidays to Goa, whether you want to or not. The delicious Goan cuisine benefits from this rich supply of spices and the best way to discover this industry is by dropping in on a spice plantation, where the likes of cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and nutmeg are farmed.

4. Camping on the beach

It’s natural to never want to leave the Goa beaches, so why not spend the night on the sand? Our Maharaja Night experience is one of the most popular tours in Goa, allowing you to sleep in a cosy safari tent amid the beauty of Cola Beach.

5. Visit a traditional market

Whether you explore the Saturday Night Market in Arpora or the Anjuna Flea Market, strolling around and experiencing the hustle bustle of an authentic marketplace is one of the most memorable things to do in Goa.

6. Discover Dudhsagar Waterfalls

Heading inland from the coastline, the natural beauty of Goa continues with its diverse and verdant landscapes. One of the most famous residents, hiding away amid dense forest, is the Dudhsagar Waterfalls. The falls are among the largest in the whole of India and present a dramatic scene as they tumble down along cliff faces and behind train tracks.

7. The beautiful nature of Goa

The best way to embrace Goa’s natural beauty is to head on our Wildernest tour. This Goa tour will transport you into the stunning setting of the Wildernest Nature Resort where you will enjoy educational nature trails, birdwatching and breath-taking eco-friendly accommodation in the heart of the resort.

8. Explore Hampi

While it may not be in Goa, our excursion to the awe-inspiring archaeological site of Hampi ensures it is well worth leaving the state for a short time. The site is home to a range of impressive and well-preserved ruins, visited on a three-day and two-night tour beginning with collection from your hotel.

9. Take a trip to North India

In addition to our Goa tours, we also offer India tours to those hoping to explore more of this vast sub-continent. Our North India Highlights tour allows holidaymakers to encounter some of the true wonders of India, including Qutab Minar and India Gate in New Delhi, as well as the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra - one of the Wonders of the World.

10. Head to Mumbai

The bustling metropolis of Mumbai sits an hour’s flight from Goa, boasting the title of India’s most affluent city. Your tour here will allow you to absorb the city’s primary attractions, including the Elephanta Caves – a remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back up to 1,500 years.

Fancy booking some Goa tours to enjoy during your holiday? Check out our Excursions and Tours page and find the perfect experiences to add even more flavour to your holidays in Goa.

Ernest Leclair's son, Christopher Leclair, was convicted of first-degree murder. Ernest Leclair is accused of hiding a gun at his son's request.

The case against Christopher Leclair, the Erie-area fisherman convicted in October of first-degree murder in his wife's death on Lake Erie, will almost certainly end with life in prison.

Leclair's 76-year-old father, accused of moving a gun at his son's request, would like to end his own criminal case in a probationary program for nonviolent, first-time offenders.

Ernest C. Leclair, of St. Petersburg, Florida, has applied to enter Erie County's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program, which would allow him to dispose of a second-degree misdemeanor count of tampering with evidence without pleading guilty.

If accepted into the program, Leclair could have his case expunged from his criminal record after successfully completing a period of probation.

The Erie County District Attorney's Office has discretion over which defendants are allowed to enter the ARD program. Assistant District Attorney Paul Sellers, who is prosecuting the case against Leclair, declined to comment.

Pennsylvania State Police charge that Leclair located a gun that had been stowed above ceiling tiles at his son's Elk Creek Township residence and moved it to a new location at his son's request. Investigators found the gun beneath built-in drawers under the couple's bed at the residence.

At that time, Christopher Leclair, 49, was being held in the Erie County Prison on charges he fatally shot his wife, 51-year-old Karen Leclair, while the couple was out on their commercial fishing vessel on June 10, 2017.

Police charged that, in recorded phone calls from the prison, Christopher Leclair called his father and asked whether state police had located the gun, a .38-caliber revolver, during a search of the residence. Leclair then instructed his father to remove the gun from above the ceiling tiles and "make it vanish," police said.

Later, when Ernest Leclair was questioned by investigators, he told them he had moved the gun to the location under the bed.

Ernest Leclair's lawyer, Gene Placidi, previously asked a judge to dismiss the tampering-with-evidence charge. In a court filing, Placidi argued that prosecutors had failed to show that Leclair intended to hinder investigators by moving the gun.

Erie County Judge William R. Cunningham rejected that claim in February.

Christopher Leclair is awaiting a Dec. 11 sentencing on first-degree murder and other charges after he was convicted at trial in October of killing Karen Leclair and dropping her body into Lake Erie.

First-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole. Christopher Leclair remains in the Erie County Prison without bond.

Ernest Leclair is free on 10 percent of $25,000 bond. He has prior convictions in a theft case and a gun case out of Erie County, both from 1990, court records show.

    GoldeNet is committed to offering high-quality diamonds, sourced from the world's largest and best suppliers.
