- Sheffield's Chimney House celebrates 'second best boardroom in the world'
A curious building with a curious past, it once housed an elephant used for carrying heavy components in armaments manufacture during the First World War. Marishka Van Steenbergen takes a lookSheffield's independent venue The Chimney House has just munched through a summer supper to celebrate being ranked at the top of a list of the 'most creatively designed boardrooms' in the world.Judges were both startled and inspired by the room's recreation of the building's history which includes an elephant and free fishing for steel workers in the river which laps at the former factory's walls. Defying the current odd weather, guests from local business and the neighbourhood were treated to a sit-down do in the Meeting Room , which won the prize, by the building's co-owners Sally Clark and Tim Hubbard. They rescued and restored the grade II listed monument in Sheffield's old industrial heartland of Kelham Island in 2010, transforming a warren of small busnesses with recycled material from architectural salvage yards and reclaim sites. Clark, who owns LARK PR , says that holding regular house parties to thank supporters is now part of business life in the aptly-named social networking age: I'm a firm believer that if people are supporting you on Facebook and Twitter, you should say thank you. The parties are also a 'come and have a look around' for people whom we would like to introduce to The Chimney House. So it's a mix of people and it's our appreciation of people being ambassadors for us.The Chimney House now incorporates Hubbard's design office 93ft, Clark's LARK and the Meeting Room which is designed to be an 'away-from-home' boardroom for business hire, conferences and training days, as well as parties and weddings.

- 8.2% Unemployment AGAIN: Why Not Create Music for iTunes, Amazon And Facebook?
New Artists, Authors, and Filmmakers Turn To Self-Publishing In Quest For A Career
I've read How Jennifer Lopez Climbed to No. 1 On The Forbes Celebrity 100 List and recommend you do too.
At the same time if you're one of the 8.2% in the United States who are unemployed, a more pressing issue is how to come roaring back.
Thanks to Moore’s Law and the unstoppable move to the desktop and handheld device, the cost of creating professional-quality music, video and written content is estimated to have plummeted by 90% or more, over the past 25 years leading to an independent content explosion.
Today, hundreds of thousands of songs, albums, and books are created and distributed worldwide every year through channels like YouTube, Facebook, and through stores like Amazon and iTunes, offering consumers more choice than ever before.
15% of iTunes' Music Catalog
One company that works with writers and bands to facilitate the production and distribution of content is AVL Digital Group whose businesses include CD Baby, BookBaby, and Disc Makers among others. CD Baby alone distributes some 4.2 million songs by over 300,000 artists – an estimated 15% of iTunes’ total music catalog.
These dynamics epitomize the long-tail dynamics popularized by Chris Anderson in Wired magazine. For instance, the volume of tracks produced by independent artists collectively makes up a market share that rivals or exceeds those of the current musical giants. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.
