About The owner:

        Andrew V. DiGiovanni has been involved in the Music Industry for nearly twenty five years.  Since childhood, music and everything involved with it has been his passion….fueling almost every aspect of his life.  In his career, he has composed over 100 songs and is capable of playing music of almost any genre.  While his primary instrument is Guitar, Andrew has also been the Frontman/Lead Vocalist for a variety of bands, plays Bass Guitar, Drums, Percussions, Organ and Programming.  He has a countless amount of live performances under his belt and has engineered and mixed many live performances by not only his own bands but many others.  You might say he has a natural ear for the way things should sound.  Andrew’s first studio experience came twenty years ago while recording the demo for his first band.  The experience was life changing and he quickly became involved in the entire process and learned that a “Live” performance was a completely different animal than a “Studio” performance.  Since then he has been part of mixing, producing and engineering all of his own music; learning and picking up all the tricks of the trade.  About ten years ago he decided it was time to invest in his own studio, and master the art of recording anything that could be captured; with no boundaries.  The experience fronting bands for so long has given him a knack for dealing with people and their emotions; and how to deliver what is requested.  Andrew’s magnetic personality puts people at ease, makes them feel at home, and brings the very best out of every client…..no matter what project it is.  
     
     His mission:  To capture and produce the recording you had in your mind for your project.  Whether it be Personal, Business or Music you will be more than satisfied with the outcome—anything less is unacceptable.



History:
Started in 2000, Legal Authority is part of the Employment Research Institute, Inc., and employs a combination of highly-specialized methods to assist candidates in securing employment.

Overview:
Legal Authority assists attorneys and law students in securing employment in the legal field. Legal Authority provides a robust and sophisticated marketing service through a combination of resume and cover letter re-writing, pre-interview and post-interview counseling, LinkedIn customization and targeted mailing.

Employees:
A. Harrison Barnes, Esq., is CEO and President of Legal Authority and its parent company, Employment Research Institute, which has approximately 300 employees.

Services:
It is a fact that not all legal hiring organizations advertise their positions. Because of this, Legal Authority is able to benefit its clients in a way that online job boards, recruiters and others cannot. We assist our clients in navigating the legal market by providing them with exposure to a wide-range of potential employers. We assist our candidates in conducting targeted mailings to legal employers that include in-house, law firm, government, and public interest organizations.

•	We provide a free resume revision and market evaluation to all potential Legal Authority candidates. 
•	We provide guidance for navigating the legal market and discuss each candidate’s marketability within the legal market of their choice.  
•	We discuss a candidate’s ideal marketing approach in terms of the type of legal employers that interest them. 
•	We generate a custom list of legal employers tailored to each candidate’s preferences, or as we call it, a “targeted mailing list.” 
•	We provide candidates with customized cover letters, resumes, and LinkedIn profiles designed to maximize a candidate’s marketability within a given area.
•	Whether a candidate is interested in one employer or a thousand employers, we will provide the necessary materials to apply for any legal job. 
•	We provide the candidate with the necessary contact information for any legal job, in any practice area, in any city, county, state, or country. 
•	Our services help candidates find the employer they seek to work for: whether it is in-house, at a law firm, with a public-interest organization, for the federal or state government, or at a law school. 
•	We provide our candidates with a targeted mailing “package” that includes their custom resumes, cover letters, and prepared envelopes. 

Why Our Services Work:
Targeted mailing is among the most effective ways to get a job because it enables you to identify every potential employer who meets your interests within a given area.

When you conduct a targeted mailing you are applying to every employer who may have an advertised position, may be hiring informally without an advertisement, or who may decide they have a need when they see your application. This marketing strategy has worked for thousands of attorneys and law students who have used Legal Authority.

Performance:
Legal Authority is extremely effective because a vast majority of legal positions are filled through self-initiated contact with legal employers. Legal Authority has already helped thousands of law students and attorneys receive multiple interviews and offers. With facilities in both the United States and abroad, Legal Authority operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, updating information about legal employers throughout the world.

ELISSA—Biography and Career

Elissa was born in Deir Al-Ahmar and raised in Bekaa Valley, a land known for its fertile landscape and infamous history.
At the tender age of 10, Elissa began participating in social events and had a role in the kids' festival at Mont la Salle, which was hosted by Sandy Oshakji. As she grew up, her passion developed and she grew more and more involved in the art scene by acting in theater plays, namely with well-known songwriter Wassim Tabbara and later, with the "Théâtre de 10 Heures". Having studied Political Science at the Lebanese University, she had a natural knack for her first play's tendency for political critique, and her talent, though in its infancy, left a lasting impressing on that initial audience. 
Her theatrical beginnings opened way for her to experiment with other modes of expression and soon found herself singing in front of audiences. In 1992, she participated and won a Silver Medal in "Studio Al Fan". The show was broadcasted on LBCI, one of the most renowned TV stations in the Middle East. Following this gentle, yet encouraging success, Elissa began performing in concerts, driven by her tireless determination until 1999, when Lido Productions released her first album, "Baddy Doub", distributed by EMI. Elissa’s debut on the commercial music scene was an event of considerable significance. The album was a success, and featured a smash hit with famous French gypsy artist, Gerard Ferrer. The release of "Baddy Doub" brought the musical talent straight to Cannes, where she participated in the International Music Festival of 2000. 
Following her success at the International Music Festival, Elissa released her second album, "We Akhertha Maak", which included the immense hit duet, "Betghib Betrouh", sung with Lebanese superstar Ragheb Alama. The emerging singer’s third album, "Ayshalak", was also quite successful and its musical quality was considered a big leap forward in her music career. In the making of "Ayshalak", Elissa took advantage of the significant momentum gained during her previous two albums and managed to surpass expectations at an amazing rate. The video clip of the album’s hit single and namesake was filmed in Paris, directed by acclaimed French director Fabrice Begotti. Elissa was officially dressed and made up by Christian Dior Paris for the video, marking the first time Dior collaborated with an Arabic artist. 
Hot on the heels of the well-received third album, Elissa continued her fiery path and sent shock waves through the music scene when she teamed up with the world-famous Irish singer Chris De Burgh. The collaboration of these two talents resulted in the historic duet, "Lebanese Nights". The hit song was included on De Burgh’s 2002 album, "Time is Everything". 
2002 brought Elissa more consecration as she was awarded with the Murex d'Or award for Best Female Artist. And her, "Ajmal Ihsas" clip won the best video clip at the Arabic Music Awards, which took place in Dubai. To top off an outstandingly successful and memorable year, Elissa was also included in the anthology book, "100 Pioneers of Lebanon". The singer was celebrated alongside artists such as Fairuz, Wadih El-Safi, and many other celebrities who have left their everlasting mark on the Lebanese cultural, political and social landscape.

Elissa’s fourth album, "Ahla Donia", recorded with Super Audio System, was released in May 2004. It broke record sales around the Middle East and the beloved artist won the World Music Award for Best Selling Middle East Artist. As a result, Elissa was recognized as the first Lebanese to win the award and went on to win the Murex d’Or for not only Best Lebanese Singer, but also Best Video Clip for her hit song, "Hobak Wajaa". 
At the time, the technique of using Super Audio was the latest innovation in sound technology and it was the first time a Middle Eastern artist used such superior sound technology. Artists who had previously relied on the Super Audio System included: Sting, Andrea Bocelli and Pink Floyd. 
Elissa’s fifth album, "Bastanak", confirmed her status as one of the best female musicians emerging from the Middle East as she reined in yet another World Music Award for Best Selling Middle East Artist. International photographer Mathias Clamer, who also worked on Elissa’s previous album, did the CD’s photo-shoot.
Elissa’s sixth and seventh albums, "Ayami Beek" (December 20, 2007), which reached number one for more than three months and remains in the charts today, and "Tesadaa Bemeen" (December 26, 2009), continued the singer’s success and officially marked her as an unforgettable idol in prominent music history. 
Nearly two weeks after "Tesadaa Bemeen’s" release, the album immediately became the best selling album in the history of Rotana, as well as the most successful in Elissa’s career. The widely well-received album skyrocketed to the number one spot as it sold record quantities in Lebanon, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and the rest of the Middle East. 
"Tesadaa Bemeen" was Elissa’s album that received the most awards and compensation. In the eyes of her fans and the music industry, Elissa’s new release was far from disappointing, and reached the number one spot in France’s largest music store, Fnac, in the Musique du Monde section. Elissa received her third World Music Award Big Apple Award, Jordan Music Award, Middle East Music Award and many others for "Tesadaa Bemeen".
"Tesadaa Bemeen" includes thirteen songs between Lebanese and Egyptian dialects created from Elissa’s numerous collaborations with a handful of renowned writers, composers and music arrangers. For the album’s glamorous artwork, international photographer Matthias Clamer photographed Elissa on location at Pena National Palace in Sintra, Portugal. 
The singer has surpassed expectations and risen above the rest of her generation’s talented celebrities, achieving full-fledged star-status. Elissa is more than just a shooting star; she’s a monumental icon whose mark on the Lebanese, Middle Eastern and international commercial music scene will undoubtedly push boundaries and stand the test of time. 
Elissa is passionate about her work and remains truly inspired by her audience. This everlasting passion shines through in her many notable events. Since the first album, "Baddy Doub", which was released in 1999 and brought her considerable success and a spot in the International Music Festival of Cannes in 2000, Elissa has been ever-gradually rising to the top.
In 2001, she took part in Jordan’s "Fiesta Latina". She also performed at the great pyramids of Egypt with British luminary Sting. Additionally, she was the only Arabic artist to perform in front of former United States President Bill Clinton at the Stars Charity show in Dubai. She was among global idols like Queen Rania of Jordan and the Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rachid El Maktoum.
In 2002, Elissa took the local music scene by storm when she sang with world-famous Irish singer Chris De Burgh. Their smash hit duet, "Lebanese Night" was written by De Burgh during a trip to Lebanon two years previous. The Irish wunderkind was inspired to write the song when he spent a starry evening dining at the famous restaurant Abdel Wahab. De Burgh chose Elissa as a partner to perform the magical song with him. The song was recorded and produced by Chris Porter, the legend responsible for a multitude of hits by international artists such as George Michael and Robbie Williams. 
That year brought substantial success for Elissa, as she went on to win the Murex d’Or award for Best Female Artist. And without fail, 2002 ended just as prominently as it started when Elissa was called upon to inaugurate the opening of Kuwait’s Virgin Megastore with Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the famous stores. The opening of Virgin-Cairo followed the prestigious event in Kuwait. Her clip, "Ajmal Ihsas" won an Arabic Music Award for Best Video Clip in Dubai and Elissa’s long-winded, successful run continued into 2003, when she signed a deal with Pepsi.
The contract with Pepsi, a soda drink close to the singer’s heart, made Elissa the official female star for Pepsi in the Arab world. She filmed the advertisement for Pepsi X in Spain and in 2004 the singer filmed the regular Pepsi commercial advertisement in Rome with world-renowned director Roger Spottiswood. Subsequently, the Lebanese starlet shot two advertisements with American pop star Christina Aguilera for Pepsi for the World Football Cup and Downloaded. Both advertisements were shot in Los Angeles with prominent director Tarsem Singh. 
In September 2003, Elissa was commissioned for a performance at the Hope Charity gala, which took place in the Royal Albert Hall, one of London 's most prestigious venues. Other artists that performed that night included Spanish dancer and choreographer Joaquin Cortes, Italian singer Zucchero, and British pop singer Sarah Brightman, making Elissa the sole representative of the Middle East. Further projects in 2004 included the Ray Ban campaign, while from 2005 to 2006 Elissa took on the Corum campaign, the LUX and then Vogue sunglasses. Elissa remains Ambassadress for Corum till today.
In 2005, Elissa received the World Music Awards for the sales of her unforgettable "Ahla Dounia" album for Best Selling Artist from the Middle East. The star-studded ceremony took place in Hollywood’s exalted Kodak Theater with the presence of notorious music icons including: Beyonce, Maria Carey, Usher, Santana, Bon Jovi and many others.

In December of 2005, Elissa received the Murex d’Or for Best Lebanese Artist and Best Video Clip for her hit classic, "Hobak Wajaa".
On November 15, 2006, Elissa received the World Music Awards for the second year in a row for the sales of her "Bastanak" album. The ceremony took place in London’s Earls Court. Elissa was in the company of Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, Beyonce, Andrea Bocelli and many other recognizable talents.
The Lebanese Music syndicate honored Elissa for her musical achievements and for being the first Lebanese artist to receive the World Music Awards two times running.
Elissa was also the ambassadress for the World Gold Council in collaboration with L’Azurde, effectively putting a beautiful image with one of the world’s most desirable metals
Subsequently, Elissa was chosen by French company Georges Stahl to create her own perfume in 2007. The fragrance "Elle d’Elissa" was created, marking yet again another first: The first international perfume for an Arab artist. Elissa’s first perfume was followed by a second essence, "L’Eau d’Elissa".
On August 9, 2007 she performed at the prestigious Sporting Club in Monaco. While in 2008, Elissa became the ambassadress for Samsung Mobiles.
In 2008, the singer was included in Arabian Business Magazine’s 100 Most Powerful Arab Business Women list, for the second consecutive year. She was also part of the 500 of World's Most Influential Arabs list. 
Since then, Elissa has created a very powerful image for herself forcing a place for her in the spotlight. The artist is also endlessly desired and sought for by all prestigious brands.

History[edit]

SoundCloud was originally started in Stockholm, Sweden, but it was established in Berlin, Germany in August 2007 by Swedish sound designer Alex Ljung and Swedish artist Eric Wahlforss. It had the intention of allowing musicians to share recordings with each other, but it later transformed into a full publishing tool which also allowed musicians to distribute their music tracks.[3]
A few months after it began operating, SoundCloud began to challenge the dominance of Myspace as a platform for musicians to distribute their music by allowing recording artists to interact more nimbly with their fans.[3]
In a 2009 interview with Wired, co-founder Alex Ljung said:
We both came from backgrounds connected to music, and it was just really, really annoying for us to collaborate with people on music—I mean simple collaboration, just sending tracks to other people in a private setting, getting some feedback from them, and having a conversation about that piece of music. In the same way that we’d be using Flickr for our photos, and Vimeo for our videos, we didn’t have that kind of platform for our music.[3]
In April 2009, SoundCloud received €2.5 million Series A funding from Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures.[4] By May 2010, SoundCloud announced it had one million subscribers.[4] In January 2011, it was confirmed that SoundCloud had raised a $10 million Series B funding round from Union Square Ventures and Index Ventures. On June 15, 2011, SoundCloud announced they had five million registered users, and investments from Ashton Kutcher and Guy Oseary's A-Grade Fund. On January 23, 2012, SoundCloud announced on their blog that they had 10 million registered users. A story wheel was created for the occasion, which can be found on the SoundCloud blog.[5] In December 2012, a new SoundCloud layout was released to the general public. Among the many new features was the ability to continue playback of a track whilst navigating around the site, and the ability to read comments without them obscuring the waveform.
Features[edit]

A key feature of SoundCloud is that it lets artists upload their music with a distinctive URL. This contrasts with MySpace, which hosts music only on the MySpace site. By allowing sound files to be embedded anywhere, SoundCloud can be combined with Twitter and Facebook to let members reach their audience better.[3]
SoundCloud distributes music using widgets and apps.[4] Users can place the widget on their own websites or blogs and then SoundCloud will automatically tweet every track uploaded.[3] SoundCloud has an API that allows other applications or smartphones to upload or download music and sound files.[3]
This API has been integrated into several applications, most notably the professional version of the PreSonus Studio One DAW.[6]
SoundCloud depicts audio tracks graphically as waveforms and allows users to comment on specific parts of the track (also known as timed comments). Other standard features include reposts, sets, followers, and downloads.[7]
SoundCloud also provides users with the ability to create and join groups that provide a common space for content to be collected and shared.
Paid subscription features[edit]

SoundCloud offers additional features to users with paid subscriptions. Such users are given more hosting space and may distribute their tracks or recordings to more groups and users, create sets of recordings, and more thoroughly track the statistics for each of their tracks. Additional statistic data are unlocked depending on which subscription the user has chosen, including the number of listens per track per user and the originating country of individual listens.[8]
SoundCloud also releases applications for popular mobile operating systems like iOS,[9] Android[10] and Windows Phone 8.[11]
Recognition[edit]

SoundCloud won the Schroders Innovation Award at the 2011 European Tech Tour Awards Dinner.[12][13]
Criticism[edit]

As SoundCloud has grown and expanded beyond its initial user base primarily consisting of grassroots musicians, some original users have complained that it is losing its fidelity to artists in an attempt to appeal to the masses, perhaps in preparation for public sale.[14] Such criticism particularly followed the launching of a revamped website in 2013 that was heavily reconfigured to be more amenable to listeners—at the expense of artists, some claimed. CEO Ljung responded that while he would take these criticisms into consideration, these listener-friendly changes would likely attract many new users.

SINGAPORE—Asian Pay Television Trust, an investment vehicle for Taiwan's biggest cable-TV operator, is poised to raise around S$1.4 billion (US$1.1 billion) in Singapore's second-biggest initial public offering this year after pricing shares in the upper half of the indicative range.

The trust will hold the assets of Taiwan Broadband Communications, which is majority-owned by two funds managed by Australia's Macquarie Group Ltd. —Macquarie International Infrastructure Fund, or MIIF, and Macquarie Korea Opportunities Fund. Both funds have said they plan to sell their stakes in the company to the trust.

Asian Pay Television priced the IPO at S$0.97 a unit, just above the median point of the indicative price range of S$0.92-S$1.00, people with knowledge of the deal said. It plans to start taking orders from retail investors on Friday and to list on the Singapore stock exchange on May 29th, the people said.

A Macquarie spokeswoman declined to comment on the pricing.

The deal will likely further enhance Singapore's status in the eyes of investors as Southeast Asia's top venue for trust listings. It also ranks first this year in equity fundraising by deal value, with US$4.48 billion of deals so far, according to data provider Dealogic. Among those deals was the US$1.3 billion IPO in March of a China-focused real-estate investment trust by Mapletree Investments Pte., a unit of Singapore state investment firm Temasek Holdings Pte.

Asian Pay Television's IPO comes at a time when Southeast Asian markets and equity offerings are on the rise. As of Wednesday, the Philippines's benchmark index had gained 27% this year, while those in Indonesia and Thailand had both gained 17%. Singapore's was up by around 8.7%.

Elsewhere, BTS Group Holdings BTS.TH +0.58% PCL last month raised US$2.13 billion in an IPO of its skytrain business in Thailand. In Indonesia, some of the country's richest families are planning around US$1 billion in IPOs, while deals worth billions of dollars are now expected to come to market in Malaysia following national elections there earlier this month.

Established in 1999, Taiwan Broadband has an interest in five cable-TV networks in Taiwan, reaching more than 1 million homes. The company has secured commitments from as many as nine cornerstone investors who took nearly a third of the shares on offer. They included financier George Soros, insurer Prudential PRU.LN 0.00% PLC, and hedge fund Och-Ziff Capital Management Group OZM +2.49% LLC. Cornerstone investors generally commit to holding a significant stake for a set period, demonstrating their confidence in the shares.

Singapore-listed MIIF had said last month that it had received shareholder approval to inject its 47.5% stake in Taiwan Broadband into Asian Pay Television. MIIF's shareholders stand to receive at least S$0.408 a share if the sale is completed. As of Dec. 31, Taiwan Broadband accounted for 61% of MIIF's portfolio value.

Asian Pay Television's offering follows other recent trust listings in Singapore, which has become a top venue for such deals as they have become increasingly popular among investors. In many cases, the companies listing via trusts have assets that are fully developed or are being developed, offering attractive returns on investments at a time of suppressed interest rates. Asian Pay Television, for example, plans to pay a yield of 8.4% in 2014, people with knowledge of the deal said.

Trusts that have recently listed in Singapore have outperformed the benchmark Straits Times Index. Shares in Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust, RW0U.SG 0.00% which listed in March, have gained 21%, while those of Japanese REIT Croesus Retail Trust S6NU.SG +1.14% have gained 16.7%.

J.P. Morgan Chase JPM +0.91% & Co., DBS Group Holdings Ltd. D05.SG +0.59% , CIMB Group Holdings 1023.KU 0.00% Bhd. and Macquarie are handling the Asian Pay Television deal.
