Mediaboss Marketing

Fox News host Sean Hannity is urging the Trump administration to "restructure" the daily White House press briefings and restrict the topics raised by reporters.

First, the White House press team should regularly develop a list of the top and most important 15, 20, 25 issues of the day," Hannity said late Monday.

"Next, the media, well, they should be able to submit questions about these issues in writing, give the White House time to respond with clarity and specificity, and if Sean Spicer then wants to take a couple of questions from the briefing room podium, thats fine. But only on those specific topics."

Hannity suggested that White House press secretary Sean Spicer could choose whether or not to respond to written questions that deviate from a list of pre-approved topics.

Just last week, Hannity suggested doing away with the press briefings entirely.

Why waste the energy trying to appease people who obviously hate his guts and want to destroy him?" Hannity asked viewers.

The Fox News host said Trump should just tweet out his accomplishments instead.

President Trump has signaled he may take Hannity's advice.

Last Friday, Trump tweeted that he may "cancel" the longstanding tradition.

The dean of a school system in the Gaza Strip who was appointed to his post byPalestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas continues to spread classic anti-Semitic libels on official PA television, Palestinian Media Watch reported Tuesday.

Imad Hamato, who has long given classes on Islam on PA television, was appointed by Abbas to head the Gaza-based Al-Azhar school system, which prepares students for Gazas Al-Azhar University. Hamato now has the opportunity to transmit his venomous anti-Semitism to Palestinian youth, PMW observed.

In a lesson broadcast last week, Hamato said, They [the Jews] are usurers. See, the usury money and usurer banks, those who control the money in the world can be counted on one hand a few individuals and all of them belong to the Jewish world. They control the media, the money, the press, the resources, the plans.

Hamato also blasted Arab nations that recognize Israel, which he described as a cancerous tumor.

In April, Hamato accused Israel on PA television of using sex mania to attack Arabs and Muslims. Israels global media has expanded, and its war against the Arabs and Muslims is through sex mania which it distributes globally. Israel had to use this sex mania, as we mentioned in a previous lesson, in order to destroy the spirit of Arabs and Muslims, he claimed.

Humanity will never live in comfort as long as the Jews are causing devastating corruption throughout the land., Hamato said in an earlier lesson in February. An old man told me: If a fish in the sea fights with another fish, I am sure the Jews are behind it.

Fox News host Sean Hannityurged the White House on Monday night to restructure its daily briefings to limit the medias ability to ask questions.

On the same day The Washington Post reported that Trump leaked highly classified information to Russian officials in the Oval Office, Hannity said:

First, the White House press team should regularly develop a list of the top and most important 15, 20, 25 issues of the day. Next, the media, well, they should be able to submit questions about these issues in writing, give the White House time to respond with clarity and specificity, and if Sean Spicer then wants to take a couple of questions from the briefing room podium, thats fine. But only on those specific topics.

He said Spicer could follow up on other questions ... in writing.

You, the American people, would be better served, Hannity claimed.

Outraged Sean Hannity Wants White House To Seize More Control Over Media - HuffPost

Taskplay is a free open source program for Microsoft Windows devices that enables you to control media playback from the Windows Taskbar.

Windows users have one, and often several, options when it comes to controlling media playback on their devices.

All media players ship with controls that let you pause, stop or skip media, and most support hotkeys as well. Some players support global hotkeys, and others media keys on the computer keyboard.

If you happen to dislike all of those options, and prefer an option to control playback from the Windows Taskbar, then Taskplay may be the right program for you.

The first question that you may have may be about the why. Why would someone want to control media playback from the taskbar?

Apart from personal preference, the main thing that Taskplay offers is consistency. The media playback controls are always in the same location, and not shown somewhere in the program window of the media player.

This requires however that Taskplay's media icons support the media player. A quick test on a Windows PC showed that most music players are supported while most video players are not.

AIMP, Foobar, Groove, and MediaMonkey worked fine, and so did Windows Media Player. The popular video players VLC Media Player and SMPlayer on the other hand could not be controlled using Taskplay's media icons in the taskbar.

The program works as you'd expect it to. A click on the play button toggles between pause and play, and the back and forward buttons do exactly what they are supposed to do.

Since the media controls are displayed in the system tray area, this gives you quick access to the volume controls as well.

Taskplay ships with a single setting right now only. It is not enabled by default, and will start the player with Windows when enabled. May be an option if you make use of it regularly on your system.

The major downside right now is support for media players, and a minor one is that you cannot control the media buttons using global hotkeys. This would be quite the hand feature for programs who don't support global hotkeys.

Plenty of third-party programs exist that add media playback controls to Windows. We have reviewed the following in the past:

Media Keyboard to add support for hotkeys to players that don't support media keyboard keys.

Media Player Hotkeys to set up your own media player shortcuts.

SKeys, which can map media functions among other things to keys.

WMP Keys which adds global hotkeys to Windows Media Player

Taskplay is an easy to use program that adds another media playback control option to Windows. Most Windows users may not have a use for it, but some may think it interesting enough to give it a try.

The managing director and majority shareholder of Glamorgan Telecom has led a full management buyout of the Cardiff business backed with equity from Finance Wales, which has taken a 15 per cent stake. The deal has also provided an exit for founding director Neal Pughe.

As well as taking an equity stake in the business, Finance Wales has also provided debt finance of 1m to support the growth of the business which is led by Kelly Bolderson.

The buyout brings the company, which has been trading since 1993, under the full control of the current board.

Under Bolderson's leadership, the company is implementing an expansion strategy that aims to lift revenue past 5m by the end of 2018.

To reach this target Glamorgan Telecom has grown its sales team by 40 per cent, developed an enhanced range of products and services and expanded into new geographical regions.

"The completion of the management buyout is hugely important for Glamorgan Telecom, this really is the beginning of a new and exciting journey for the business and we thank Finance Wales for their help and support during this process," said Bolderson.

"With a full buyout in place, the management team has full control to guide Glamorgan Telecom into an exciting new chapter.

"We have seen significant positive change within our business over the last few years, and with the investment from Finance Wales we can continue with our expansion plans and ensure Glamorgan Telecom continues to be one of the leading telephony solution providers in the region."

Stephen Galvin and Navid Falatoori structured the investment for Finance Wales and Patrick Gore from Hollis Gore Associates also played a role in structuring the agreement, together with Mick Tinning from Hugh James Solicitors.

Galvin said: "The company is by far the longest serving player in its field and its enduring brand is recognised in the market as a safe and respected partner to work with.

"With ongoing plans for growth, the business has exciting times ahead."

The deal between Glamorgan Telecom and Finance Wales marks the latest investment from the Wales Management Succession Fund, a Welsh Government-backed 25m fund supporting business succession for growing Welsh companies.
