Excert from the iso.org website. What does ISO mean? ISO is the short name for the International Organization for Standardization. It’s not an acronym, but a name inspired by the Greek word isos, meaning “equal” – reflecting our mission to create standards that ensure consistency and equality worldwide. Because the organization’s full name – and its initials – would vary across languages (for example Organisation internationale de normalisation in French), our founders chose “ISO” as a universal short form that could be recognized globally, regardless of language. Whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always ISO.

Text reading: Compared to the capital, Manchester has roughly a quarter of the population and one international airport with Greater London's six. That makes it easier for artists and fans alike to attend one of London's 6,000 gigs this year, which, according to Songkick, is more than three times more than Manchester.

The cover art from the album, the battle of Los Angeles, by rage against the machine. It shows a spray painted outline of a person with a defiant fist in the air and also spray painted text saying "the battle of Los Angeles" The US government are deploying marines to Los Angeles, and everything is fucked.
A line of LAPD police in riot gear, with some on horeseback. A journalist reporting on camera in the foreground. The police bastard at the end of the line has realise the camera is now pointing at him, and is raising his gun towards the camera operator. In the quoted video, you see him go on to shoot the reporter with a rubber bullet, at far too close range, and with zero provocation. As mentioned, this cop, like all cops, is a bastard.
Let me begin with an ppology to all the writers, colleagues, friends and supporters who have been drawn into this mess or who feel let down. Anyone who knows me will realise, I hope, that this apology is heartfelt and sincere. Unbound's well-publicised financial troubles notwithstanding, there can be no viable publishing business without a credible plan for paying its authors. Authors must come ahead of all other business creditors. Unbound was founded on the principle that authors ARE the business. I still believe that. Unbound's decision to enter administration in March was traumatic and painful, but it at least offered a route for our authors to be paid, albeit over an extended period of time. The whole team signed up to the payment plan we issued. And, with justifiable reluctance, most authors did, too. The revelation last week that the investment money we had been promised in May was going to fall substantially short was a devastating blow, not least because it happened too late for us to seek an alternative. The May 30th payments scheduled for both the payment plans and the end of May profit share would not be paid. That is why I resigned last Friday, joined by seven senior members of the Boundless team. None of us have other jobs to go to. In my own case, I left with no equity, no notice payment, no tangible reward to show for 14 years of work, except of course for the only reason I'm in this business -the wonderful books we have published. I made that choice because could not countenance taking another penny froma business that no longer prioritised paying its authors. The other departing staff felt the same. We all feel let down and devastated on the authors' behalf. The company's current position is morally and financially unacceptable. We started Unbound to offer an alternative to the traditional publishing model, to offer a better, fairer deal for authors. That starts with paying them on time. If there is any money in the business, it should go to them. …
