Emma’s Imagination, a solo music act otherwise identified as Emma Gillespie, has been declared as the winner of Must Be The Music, a music talent programme broadcast on Sky1 in the United Kingdom. As the winner of the series, Emma gains a prize of £100,000 (US$155,484, €119,061, A$164,130, C$159,968).
Shortly after being declared as the winner, Scottish singer Gillespie – who defeated five other musical acts in the final – spoke to host Fearne Cotton: “I don’t know what to say,” she said in front of the live audience of 10,000. “Thank you so much for supporting me. I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you so much.”
Sharleen Spiteri, a member of Scottish music group Texas, is one of the three judges on Must Be The Music, alongside jazz-pop musician Jamie Cullum and rapper Dizzee Rascal. “I think there’s going to be a lot of young people who might have sniffed at the idea of doing this sort of programme, who might see this as a different opportunity as musicians,” Spiteri commented. “I think that’s going to change everything.”
In Must Be The Music, artists competing on the programme had to compose and perform their own music. Music tracks from the semi-finalists had become available to download, with all profits being given to the singer-songwriters. “This Day”, the single from Emma’s Imagination, had already achieved number 12 in both the alternative music chart and the iTunes chart by the time of the series’ conclusion, according to Sky News Online.

The Top Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Pneumatic Floor Nailer
by
Douglas Flanigan
If you’re meaning to install any type of hardwood, engineered, or laminate flooring in your house yourself, you may want to think about purchasing your own pneumatic floor nailer. Dependent on how much you have to install, and how long it’s going to take, it could actually finish up saving you money in both the long and short run. So if you’re looking into buying a pneumatic floor nailer of your own, here are a few things to think about.
1. How much flooring to need to install. Essentially, the more flooring you’ve got to install, the more sense it makes to be buying a pneumatic floor nailer of your own. If it is’s a job that may be done in no more than a day, and have no plans to do anything else, then it is smart solely to lease one. But if you are counting on installing flooring in a living room, dining room, bedroom or any room larger than a corridor or closet, then it’s going to take you more than one day to install, and then buying a pneumatic floor nailer makes more sense due to how much it might cost to lease one for multiple days.

2. How much experience you have with flooring. Not all pneumatic floor nailers are created equal, when purchasing one you want to consider that some are harder to use than others. Look for one with reviews that speak to its ease of use, and something light-weight and easy to fire will be the best bet for someone just starting out.
3. What size air compressor you have. To run a pneumatic floor nailer, you need an air compressor. If you are already got an air compressor, then ensure you do not buy a pneumatic floor nailer that’s’s too robust for your air compressor to run. If you are going to be purchasing an air compressor too make sure that you get one that can work with your nailer of choice .
4. How much it weighs. The variations in weight may not seem important when you’re buying a pneumatic floor nailer, but once you’ve fired and moved it a pair hundred or couple thousands times, it will make a difference. The descriptive term “light-weight ” is your friend.
5. How much you need to spend. In the end, it all boils down to budget, and buying a pneumatic floor nailer is not different. What you want to do is take all of the points mentioned above, and then find a nailer that meets those requirements, and fits your financial position. With the quantity of pneumatic floor nailers on the market, you should be capable of finding something to work for you.

Wikinews attended the Bangalore Comic Con comic-book convention on Saturday. Beginning on Saturday morning, it continued through to Sunday. Organised by Comic Con India, who organised Comic Con in Hyderabad in October and Mumbai in November, this event was held at Karnataka Trade Promotion Organisation (KTPO)’s convention hall. Wikinews spoke to convention guests Sailesh Gopalan and John Layman.
Freelancer comic book artist and illustrator Scott Hampton, known for sketching Batman, Black Widow, Sandman, Hellraiser and Star Trek, was among the featured guests at the convention. Along with him, professional cosplayer Tabitha Lyons, who dressed up like DC Comics’s Wonder Woman on Saturday; freelancer comic book writer John Layman, writer of Chew, published by Image Comics; creator of Zen Pencils Gavin Aung Than; and creator of Brown Paperbag comics Sailesh Gopalan also attended the event as special guests.
The event started at 11 AM IST (0530 UTC). Crossing between the genres of science fiction, horror, anime, fantasy and comics, the event sprawled throughout all corners of the facility. Marvel Zone, Amazon Video zone, AXN Live RED Special Session, Star Wars’ Last Jedi zone and OnePlus smartphone zone attracted large number of audience. OnePlus, who were one of the sponsors of the event, had an exclusive launch of their new smartphone OnePlus 5T Star Wars, limited edition at about 5:30 PM. Marvel, Star Wars and AXN Live RED zones had quizzes about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, and the Sherlock Holmes TV series. Most of the Marvel questions were about the upcoming live action movie Black Panther.
Holy Cow entertainment launched latest issues of their comics Age of Immortals and Caster. The Comic Con panel included sessions with Sailesh Gopalan about webcomics, Zen pencils creator Gavin Aung Than, as well as Scott Hampton. Focusing on Indian mythology, Indian comic book publisher Amar Chitra Katha conducted a quiz, and asked questions like, “Who was the mother of Nakul and Sahdev?” from the Mahabharat. After the quiz, people dressed as Stormtroopers, soldiers from Star Wars, took the stage, for the launch of the limited edition of OnePlus 5T Star Wars.
Before the cosplay contest, there was a performance by East India Comedy’s stand-up comedian Sahil Shah. Despite some of the audience being juveniles, Shah cracked some adult jokes, and used cuss words. After a joke about professor Utonium from The Powepuff Girls “making girls in his basement with a secret recipe”, he asked the audience rhetorically if Indian chef Sanjeev Kapoor shared the recipe on his show. He said he had presented the same joke in Delhi, but people did not get it, hinting about the sex ratio. He later added “it was because I said in English”, a comment towards Delhi’s literacy rate. However, Shah told the Bangalore audience in Hindi. Some other jokes stereotyped certain ethnic groups, and classed of the Indian society, discussing the cussing habits of people in Delhi and comparing it with that of Mumbai. He also made fun of US president Donald Trump, saying “the Americans voted for an orange alien”.
After Shah’s performance, the cosplay contest started, with about 280 people registering for the competition in five categories including comics/graphic novels, movies/television shows, gaming, anime/manga and science fiction/fantasy. The winner of cosplay competition is to represent Bangalore in the upcoming National Indian Championships of Cosplay, along with ?50 thousand (about €650) prize money.

The event finished at 8 PM.
