Access Media 3 is an Internet and telephone provider service company based in Oak Brook, Illinois. The company specializes in providing services to multi-dwelling units such as condominiums, retirement communities and student housing. At present, AM3 serves clients in Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, North Carolina and Washington, DC. AM3 serves 50,000 revenue generating units in over 450 properties. AM3 conducts business as Upstream Network, in an effort to distance itself from the tarnished Access Media 3 branding. Access Media 3 was founded by CEO Scott Rediger in January 2007 in a merger with MDI Access. Rediger's previous experience in the telecom industry included his role as a co-founder of Ovation Communications, a competitive local exchange carrier business offering facility-based local, long distance, data services to medium and large sized businesses in the metropolitan areas of Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Detroit. After two years, Ovation Communications was sold to McLeod USA in 1999 for $402 million.

After the sale, Rediger served as a Senior Vice President of Products and Development for McLeod USA. AM3's business model targeted multi-unit residential buildings as a market for customized bundled media services; the company works directly with property owners and managers to design individualized packages of high-speed internet and television from DIRECTV™. AM3 expanded through both organic sales growth and strategic acquisitions. Following its initial merger with MDI Access, AM3 acquired: Satellite television assets of Tunnel Vision Technology, Inc. in Chicago in September 2007 inVision Networks in Burr Ridge, Illinois in May 2008 SkyPix LLC of Bloomington, Minnesota in June 2008 Avvid Technologies in Minneapolis/St. Paul in April 2010 Cipher Ltd.|Cipher Ltd.’s MDU division in Chicago in April 2010 onShore Networks LLC's|onShore Networks LLC's MDU division in Chicago in April 2010 People's Choice Cable in Boca Raton, Florida in June 2011 Limited assets of Shentel MTC in Georgia, Tennessee and Washington D.

AM3 expanded its sales staff to promote organic sales among property managers and owners; as a result, AM3s RGU base rose from 3000 in 2007 to over 50,000 in 2011. In early 2012, AM3 secured $30 Million in funding from ORIX Venture Finance and Petra Capital Partners to fuel continued growth. AM3 and its leadership have received recognition for the company's swift growth, including: Inclusion in the 2011 Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing companies nationally Recognition of Scott Rediger in the Growth category of the 2011 Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards sponsored by the Daily Herald Business Ledger Receipt of the DIRECTV Highest Year-to-Year Growth Award in 2010 Appointment of Scott Rediger to DIRECTV's MDU Board of Advisers in 2010 Repeated inclusion in the DIRECTV Excel Club Award On January 5, 2014, it was published and documented by a customer, that Access Media 3 is injecting tracking javascript into all HTTP request bodies.

The tracking was achieved by means of proxy software in the software router, the rXg, produced by RG Nets. The purpose of the tracking is yet unknown, but the front page of RG Nets states: In a brochure, RG Nets state about the rXg box: the rXg is the perfect platform for clear communication, authoritative control and complete cognizance over your RGN end-user population.:Contemporary profitable IP RGNs extract revenue from the end-user community through a combination of direct and indirect mechanisms.

The Russell–Brasstown Scenic Byway is a National Scenic Byway in the U. S. state of Georgia that includes parts of Georgia State Route 17, SR 75, SR 180, SR 75 Alternate, as well as the entire length of SR 348. Surrounded by the beauty of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, the byway winds through the valleys and mountain gaps of the southern Appalachian Mountains. From the vistas atop Brasstown Bald to the cooling mists of waterfalls, scenic wonders fill this region; the byway forms a loop starting northwest of Helen, at the junction of SR 17/SR 75 and SR 75 Alternate. From there, it follows SR 17/SR 75 north to a junction with SR 180 in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest; the byway turns west on SR 180 with an optional detour to the Brasstown Bald Visitor Center on SR 180 Spur. It follows SR 180 westward and southwestward to SR 348 in Choestoe and southeast back to SR 75 Alternate before turning northeast, back to SR 17/SR 75. Russell–Brasstown Scenic Byway is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy and mobility.

As stated above, the Russell–Brasstown Scenic Byway is composed of parts or entire lengths of numbered routes. The portion of SR 75 included in the byway was established between May and August 1932 along the same alignment as it travels today. By July 1939, this section of SR 75 was converted from "completed grading, not surfaced" to "completed semi-hard surface". By 1941, a short section northwest of the SR 75 Alternate was paved. By July of that year, the former southern segment of SR 66 was established from the current SR 17/SR 75/SR 180 intersection to the current SR 180/SR 180 Spur intersection. SR 180 was established from the latter intersection westward to an intersection with US 19/US 129/SR 11 west of Choestoe. By the end of 1946, the above-mentioned segment of SR 75 was paved. Between 1950 and 1952, SR 17 was designated along SR 75. Between 1960 and 1963, SR 66 from SR 17/SR 75 to SR 180 was paved. By 1966, the byway's entire segment of SR 180 was paved. SR 348 was established in two parts.

The southern part began at an intersection with SR 356 to the White–Union county line. The northern part existed southeast of Choestoe, intersecting with SR 348 in Choestoe; that year, both parts of SR 348 were connected, the entire byway was paved. By 1982, SR 356 was redesignated as SR 75 Alternate; that year, upon the decommissioning of SR 66, that segment of the bypass was redesignated as an eastward extension of SR 180. The Russell–Brasstown Scenic Byway was designated as a National Forest Scenic Byway on June 5, 1989, it was named a Georgia State Scenic Byway in 1992 and a National Scenic Byway on June 15, 2000. These intersections begin in the travel in a counter-clockwise direction. Georgia portal U. S.

Cara Laura Hilton is a Scottish Labour Party politician, the Member of the Scottish Parliament for Dunfermline from 2013 to 2016. Hilton was the Labour candidate at the Dunfermline by-election on 20 October 2013, she won by a majority of more than 2,800 votes, overturning a previous SNP majority of 590. This was the first time that Labour had won a parliamentary seat from the SNP at a by-election. In her victory speech, Hilton praised the courage of preceding MSP Bill Walker's ex-wives. Walker's conviction for assault against his former wives had led to his resignation from parliament, causing the by-election. Alex Salmond accused her of running a dishonest campaign, including the circulation of a leaflet criticised by the SNP as "demonstrably untrue". In the Scottish Parliament election of 2016, Hilton lost her seat to the SNP's Shirley-Anne Somerville, who she had defeated at the by-election three years earlier. Along with the loss of the neighbouring Cowdenbeath constituency, this left the Labour Party without parliamentary representation in Fife for the first time since 1910.

Hilton was the Labour Party candidate for Dumfermline and West Fife in the 2017 and 2019 general elections, but both times came second behind the incumbent SNP MP Douglas Chapman. Hilton serves as vice-chair of the Scottish Labour Party. Hilton is the daughter of former Labour MSP Cathy Peattie, her husband is Simon, she has three children
