*if collected or in translation most of the best editions today would not have been available to the characters pre-1940. It’s possible Louis is meant to have read them in their original French in some cases, but it would provide for a different experience. Lydia Davis’ Madame Bovary, for example, attempts to replicate this.

The UK parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee is working on its report (and recommendations) from its inquiry into the economics of music streaming. One of the big talking points during the inquiry’s evidence sessions was equitable remuneration (ER): specifically extending it from radio and TV to some streams.

The Broken Record campaign has made ER one of its key requests of the committee; labels have argued firmly against it; and (in our view, at least) the committee seems to be leaning more towards the former camp. But the committee isn’t the British government, so if ER is to be extended, ministers will need to be convinced too.

That campaign is already starting. A letter sent to Prime Minister Boris Johnson – and shown to Music Ally this morning – sees a who’s who of British musicians backing such an extension. Sir Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Chris Martin, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Kate Bush, Roger Daltrey, Damon Albarn, Noel Gallagher, Laura Marling, Sir Tim Rice… and many more.

“Only two words need to change in the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. This will modernise the law so that today’s performers receive a share of revenues, just like they enjoy in radio,” argues the letter. But it also calls for a competition inquiry (or at least a government referral to watchdog the Competition and Markets Authority); for songwriters to get a bigger share of streaming royalties; and the establishment of a dedicated regulator “to ensure the lawful and fair treatment of music makers”.

Later today, we’ll publish our quarterly Music Ally report, including our analysis of the key talking points of the inquiry, and what might happen next. One of our suggestions was that while the DCMS committee seemed sympathetic to the Broken Record campaign’s arguments, the government ministers seemed to be leaning more towards labels’ view of the world.

The letter shows that the former group are going to work hard to change that, and in wheeling out the musical big guns, the intensity of the lobbying has stepped up several notches – even before the DCMS committee’s report has come out. Labels and their representative body the BPI must now decide how best to respond.

Here is the full text of the letter, and its signatories:

———-

Dear Prime Minister,

We write to you on behalf of today’s generation of artists, musicians and songwriters here in the UK.

For too long, streaming platforms, record labels and other internet giants have exploited performers and creators without rewarding them fairly. We must put the value of music back where it belongs – in the hands of music makers.

Streaming is quickly replacing radio as our main means of music communication. However, the law has not kept up with the pace of technological change and, as a result, performers and songwriters do not enjoy the same protections as they do in radio.

Today’s musicians receive very little income from their performances – most featured artists receive tiny fractions of a US cent per stream and session musicians receive nothing at all.

To remedy this, only two words need to change in the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. This will modernise the law so that today’s performers receive a share of revenues, just like they enjoy in radio. It won’t cost the taxpayer a penny but will put more money in the pockets of UK taxpayers and raise revenues for public services like the NHS.

There is evidence of multinational corporations wielding extraordinary power and songwriters struggling as a result. An immediate government referral to the Competition and Markets Authority is the first step to address this. Songwriters earn 50% of radio revenues, but only 15% in streaming. We believe that in a truly free market the song will achieve greater value.

Ultimately though, we need a regulator to ensure the lawful and fair treatment of music makers. The UK has a proud history of protecting its producers, entrepreneurs and inventors. We believe British creators deserve the same protections as other industries whose work is devalued when exploited as a loss-leader.

By addressing these problems, we will make the UK the best place in the world to be a musician or a songwriter, allow recording studios and the UK session scene to thrive once again, strengthen our world leading cultural sector, allow the market for recorded music to flourish for listeners and creators, and unearth a new generation of talent.

We urge you to take these forward and ensure the music industry is part of your levelling-up agenda as we kickstart the post-Covid economic recovery.

Yours sincerely,

22, 33, 42, and 49 for Miss Anna please?

22: Who is/are your OC’s closest friend(s)?

Sharkey is one of her closest friends in HC while the events of the game are taking place, but Skylar and Hudson are also her close friends. 

33: What subjects interested your OC?

She loves anything practical that she can get stuck into. You wouldn’t know it from just looking at her but she loves to work with her hands. She took to learning a little about mechanics in her spare time and loves to go hiking/hunting in her spare time (not really subjects but who cares :3)

42:What makes your OC happy?

She loves being around her friends and just.... being with them. Being able to just sit around a fire and relax with some beers and her friends is her ideal happy place. 

49: If your OC experienced trauma, what was it?

Asides from the obvious trauma that comes from  being shot at on the regular and hunted by a religious cult, she has trauma from her teens when she watched her best friend get murdered that has followed her throughout her life.

Music prodigy facts

Now, it appears that Prodigy died of a preventable accident while in hospital care. Her image now appears on the 200-peso bill in Mexico. teacher in terms of seeking and using other musical examples, and further repertoire options are listed within the Appendix 2. In fact, Prodigy was on a full-blown Art of Rap tour when the hospitalization occurred. She continued her studies, however, and eventually established herself as one of the 17th century’s most popular authors of drama, poetry and prose. The former child prodigy entered a convent at age 20 and spent the rest of her life as a cloistered nun. A selection of interesting facts about The Prodigy The Prodigy is a cult British band formed in the early 90s and conquered the world rave scene with their dynamic tracks The main members of the band have always been Keith Flint, Liam Howlett and Maxim Reality, although the original line-up also included keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill and dancer/vocalist Sharkey. When she was 17, she was famously tested by a panel of 40 university professors, all of whom were shocked by her deep knowledge of philosophy, mathematics and history. Juana’s reputation for genius later won her a place as a lady-in-waiting at the viceroy’s court in Mexico City. By her adolescence, she had also studied Greek logic and learned an Aztec language called Nahuatl. Despite being denied a formal education because of her gender, she began writing religious poetry at age 8 and later taught herself Latin, supposedly mastering it in just 20 lessons. Very little empirical research has been conducted on the phenomenon, in no small part due to the fact that there exists no agreed. 1752 - The composer and piano prodigy, Muzio Clementi was born. 1751 - In Europe, the minuet was a popular dance. In New York, John Gays 'The Beggars Opera' was performed. Before his untimely death at age 35, he wrote more than 600 pieces of music.īorn in Mexico in 1651, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz learned to read as a toddler and quickly blazed through all the books in her grandfather’s library. 1750 - Johann Sebastian Bach died.Also, in chamber music, the string quartet (consists of 2 violins, viola, and cello) was popular. During a 1764 stopover in London, he was even tested and examined by a British lawyer and naturalist named Daines Barrington, who was awestruck by the 8-year-old’s ability to sight-read unfamiliar music “in a most masterly manner.” Mozart would eventually grow into one of Europe’s most celebrated and prolific composers. From Bavaria to Paris, audiences marveled at the boy wonder’s ability to improvise and play the piano blindfolded or with one hand crossed over the other. Mozart and his sister Maria Anna-herself a musical prodigy-traveled widely through Europe exhibiting their talents in royal courts and public concerts. He composed his first piece of published music at age 5, and by his teen years, he had already written several concertos, sonatas, operas and symphonies. The Austrian-born wunderkind first took up the harpsichord when he was just 3 years old. (Credit: Ann Ronan Pictures/Print Collector/Getty Images)

youzicha replied to your link: The Great Crime Decline

Interesting that there is no discussion of lead at all—from the local discussion here I’ve come to think of that as the standard explanation, but apparently it’s not mainstream enough to even warrant a mention…

It seems like it’s because Patrick Sharkey, the author whose book is reviewed in the article, doesn’t believe in the lead-crime connection. He believes in “routine activities theory” instead, which points to the disappearance and reemergence of social “guardians” rather than environmental lead exposure:

More than thirty years ago the criminologists Lawrence Cohen and Marcus Felson developed what they called “routine activities theory” to solve a puzzle of rising crime in the 1960s. During a decade in which poverty declined, unemployment dropped, and racial and ethnic inequality became less severe, they wondered how it could be possible that crime worsened. Cohen and Felson argued that to understand large-scale trends in crime, criminologists had to move beyond their focus on the characteristics or the motivations of potential offenders, beyond the simplistic notion that the presence of more poor people translates into more crime, and even beyond a pure focus on individual criminals. Instead of thinking about how many potential offenders there are in the world, they argued, criminologists should broaden their view to consider when, where, and why a crime is likely to occur.

The basic insight of Cohen and Felson’s theory is that the likelihood of a crime occurring depends on three elements: a motivated offender, a vulnerable victim, and the absence of a capable guardian. The two criminologists pointed to the way that Americans’ everyday routines had shifted in the 1960s, leading a growing share of the population, particularly women, outside the home for work, school, or travel. The shift in routines led to more vulnerable victims walking public streets and more homes left unguarded. Home burglaries became more common. A larger share of murders was carried out by strangers, as opposed to relatives or romantic partners.

Routine activities theory has been criticized and refined over time, but it remains crucially important because it allows for a shift in the way that we think about why crime rises and falls. Many of the most prominent arguments about the decline in violence since the 1990s begin with the assumption that the behavior of potential criminal offenders has changed over time. Some argued that the drop in exposure to lead—a toxin that is known to have damaging effects on every aspect of children’s development—changed the behavior of an entire generation of youth. Others argued that changes in abortion law have meant that many thousands of unwanted children, who are assumed to be more likely to grow up to be criminals, were never born. And still others suggested that improvements in the national economy, the proliferation of medications to treat attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or the drop in the relative number of young males in the population helped bring about a reduction in crime.

Accordingly, the word “leaders” (i.e., community and NGO leaders) is far more common in the book than the word “lead”, which only appears so that it can be summarily dismissed.

The stories from the Rio Grande Valley and Washington Heights are similar to anecdotes from Dudley Square in Boston, Little Village in Chicago, South Central Los Angeles, and East Lake, Atlanta. To those who worked for years and decades to change their communities, the decline in violence was no accident of history, no side effect of changes in abortion law or the amount of lead in gasoline; rather, it was hard work by residents, organized into community groups and block clubs, that transformed urban neighborhoods. My own research results suggest that they are right. The new guardians looking out over city streets are not just public and private security guards but also residents, mobilized in new organizations specifically formed to build community life and control violence. And their presence is a crucial part of the story about how urban communities have changed over the past twenty years.

Another prominent theory proposed that the drop in exposure to lead, a toxin known to have damaging effects on every aspect of children’s development, changed the behavior of an entire generation of youth and led to the crime decline. Strong evidence indicates that exposure to lead impedes the development of cognitive skills and increases impulsive behavior, and that the steep drops in lead exposure have made American children less vulnerable to developmental delays. Recent research presents compelling evidence that exposure to high levels of lead may in fact have a causal impact on the likelihood that a child will be suspended from school or incarcerated. However, advocates of this theory tend to vastly overstate the strength of the relationship between declines in lead exposure and crime rates. Although legislation reducing the amount of lead in gasoline and paint is a true public health breakthrough, the evidence available does not lead me to the conclusion that the drop in lead exposure played a major role in generating the crime decline.

Sharkey has a footnote that briefly sets out why he is skeptical of the case for the lead-crime connection:

The two primary sources of lead contamination are lead-based paint and leaded gasoline. Lead-based paint has become much less common over time, as it was banned for indoor use in 1950 and for all residential purposes in 1978. Similarly, the Clean Air Act of 1970 led to an almost complete removal of lead from gasoline between 1975 and 1985. As a result of these regulations, the average level of lead in the blood of Americans declined rapidly, and uniformly across all demographic groups, from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s. A new study with data from Rhose Island provides the most compelling evidence to date that exposure to lead has a causal effect on individual behavior leading to school suspensions and possibly incarceration. However, the study focuses on birth cohorts in a low-crime state who reached teenage years well after the drop in violence, and thus requires substantial extrapolation to be applicable for explaining the crime decline. See Anna Aizer and Janet Currie, “Lead and Juvenile Delinquency: New Evidence from Linked Birth, School and Juvenile Detention Records,” National Bureau of Economic Research, Working paper w23392 (2017). The most widely-cited previous study on lead and crime is Jessica Wolpaw Reyes, “Environmental Policy as Social Policy? The Impact of Childhood Lead Exposure on Crime,” BE Journal of Economic Analysis and Policy 7, no. 1 (2007): 1–41. To identify the effect of changes in lead exposure on crime, Reyes exploited the fact that the amount of lead in gasoline was phased out at different rates across states, which were differentially affected by Clean Air Act regulations. Analyzing variations, within states, in the level of gasoline in lead while controlling for other characteristics that changed over time, Reyes found evidence that changes in the amount of lead in gasoline had large effects on rates of violent crime twenty-two years later. Although the strongest results from the Reyes study led the author to conclude that reduced lead in gasoline could account for more than half the national decline in violent crime, a closer look at the results suggests that this interpretation should be thought of as an upper bound estimate of how much lead may have contributed to the crime drop. Analyses that use different measures of lead exposure produce inconsistent results, with effect sizes that are much smaller and are not always statistically significant. Analyses that focus on the murder rate, instead of on the violent crime rate, show no significant effects in most of Reyes’s preferred specifications. See also Janet L. Lauritsen, Maribeth L. Rezey, and Karen Heimer, “When Choice of Data Matters: Analyses of U.S. Crime Trends, 1973–2012,” Journal of Quantitative Criminology 32, no. 3 (2016): 335–55.

#50Years Ago This Week: Boxing Great Ralph Ficucello Looks Back on his Career Excerpt from The Journal News, Week of July 31 - August 6, 1967

Ralph Ficucello became a boxer in the late 1920’s because he almost forced his father out of the barbershop business. Young Ralph used to beat up his father’s customers after they had their hair cut.

In 1929 he fought his way to the National AAU Heavyweight Championship. After that he turned pro and had a record of 27-2-2 and was in contention with such people as Jack Sharkey, Primo Carnera Max Schmmelling and Max Baer.

After an injury cut his career short, he married Anna Vinci of Haverstraw and they settled in Pearl River.

The HSRC is pleased to be compiling “This Week in Rockland” a weekly feature appearing in the Rockland Review. Check out other events that happened this week in history! On Newsstands everywhere or online at www.rocklandreviewnews.com www.RocklandHistory.org
