West TV

West TV, better known as WTV, is a free-to-air community television station that began broadcasting in standard definition digital format on logical channel 44 in Perth on 10 April 2010 at 10 am.

History

The station was awarded a two-year trial license by the Australian Communications and Media Authority after the closure of previous Perth community station license holder Access 31 in 2008 followed by an apparatus license at the end of April 2009. On 4 November 2009 Communications Minister Stephen Conroy approved a digital TV only license which allows West TV to broadcast with other community television stations which are planning to simulcast their services until the switch to digital-only television in capital cities by 2014.

On 1 April 2010, the first video test was performed, with a testcard and then a promotional video loop going to air.

In September 2014, Australian federal communications minister Malcolm Turnbull announced that licencing for community television stations would end in December 2015. In September 2015, Turnbull, now Prime Minister, announced an extension of the deadline to 31 December 2016. WTV, like other community TV channels, is moving operations online, and streams its channel live on their website which allows access to viewers outside of its traditional broadcast area.

New Vision

The New Vision is one of two main national newspapers in Uganda. It is published by the New Vision Group, which has its head office on First Street, in the Industrial Area of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city in that East African country.

History

It was established in its current form in 1986 by the Ugandan Government. New Vision is broadly sympathetic to the government of President Yoweri Museveni. It was founded in 1955 as the Uganda Argus, a British colonial government publication. Between 1962 and 1971, the first Obote government kept the name of its daily publication as Uganda Argus. Following the rise to power of Idi Amin in 1971, the government paper was renamed Voice of Uganda. When Amin was deposed in 1979, the second Obote government named its paper Uganda Times. When the National Resistance Movement seized power in 1986, the name of the government daily newspaper was changed to New Vision. The Uganda Argus and its successors always presented as the "official" newspaper of the regime in power.

New Vision (electoral alliance)

New Vision was an electoral alliance of independent candidates formed to contest the 2011 Irish general election.

The formation of the group was announced at a meeting in Dublin organised by the economist David McWilliams on 31 January 2011. Eamonn Blaney, son of a former Independent Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála and minister Neil Blaney, stated that he was launching "a movement called New Vision" and that the group would run candidates in the upcoming general election. He stated that New Vision already had the allegiance of "several strong Independents who will unite around four principles".

The group held a press launch on 9 February 2011 where they revealed the 19 candidates that had agreed to run under the New Vision label. Each candidate had committed to vote en bloc on four issues, but were free to campaign on other national and local issues as they wished. As well as Eamonn Blaney, prominent candidates were his brother MacDara, and Luke 'Ming' Flanagan.

The four core issues which each New Vision candidate agreed to support were described by the group as:

19 You + Me

"19 You + Me" is the title a debut song by American country music duo Dan + Shay. It was released in October 2013 as the first single from their debut album for Warner Bros. Records.

It received 59 adds in its first week at country radio, becoming the most added debut single of 2013.

Critical reception

The song received a positive review from Taste of Country which praised the "warm details" and "emotion." It said that "young artists aren’t often able to tell stories as effectively as those with a little more age, but Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney can count on vivid lyrics to help them through." It went on to say that "the instrumentation is country with pop leanings" and "they add some missing sensitivity to the current landscape."

Music video

The music video was directed by Brian Lazzaro and shot in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in which they mention Myrtle Beach in the song. Some of the locations they shot at were the Fun Plaza arcade on Ocean Blvd and the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk.

You & Me demands repeat plays and The Walkmen deserve a new respect."Drowned in Sound gave the album 8 out of 10, saying "It's not a showy record, but one that when peeled apart reveals itself to be a darker and more engaging album than on first listen.
