Viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus. The most common hepatitis viruses in Europe are types A, B, C and E (commonly referred to as HAV, HBV, HCV and HEV).
Even though their effects on the liver and the symptoms they produce can be similar, the severity and duration of the disease are determined by the virus that caused it. While HAV infection is typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water and causes an acute infection, hepatitis B and C usually occur as a result of contact with infected body fluids and can develop into a chronic infection. Together, HBV and HCV are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer.
Hepatitis A is an acute infectious disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The disease is highly transmissible through the faecal-oral route. Hepatitis A is often asymptomatic or mild, particularly in children below five years of age, but the severity increases with age.
The case-fatality ratio is low (0.1–0.3%) but might be higher (1.8%) in adults over 50 years of age or persons with underlying chronic liver diseases. A safe and effective vaccine is available, but if you have been naturally infected once, you will have lifelong immunity.
Hepatitis B is a liver disease that results from infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and is spread through contact with infected body fluids or blood products. The symptoms can vary greatly and many of those who get infected never develop any symptoms at all. Safe and effective vaccines are available that offer high levels of protection.
Those who become chronically infected with HBV (from >30% among children to <5% among adults) are at a higher risk of serious consequences: liver cirrhosis (25%) and cancer (5%). Moreover, they may act as a reservoir for continuing disease transmission.
Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and is mainly acquired by contact through broken skin with infectious blood. To date, there is no vaccine available against hepatitis C.
Hepatitis C is most often passed on by people who inject drugs by sharing contaminated needles; transmission may also occur through tattooing, body piercing and acupuncture, if these are done in unsterile conditions.
Most people with acute hepatitis C infection do not have any symptoms. People who develop chronic hepatitis C also may never have any symptoms. Around 30% of people with chronic hepatitis C develop liver damage and a small number of those go on to get cancer. Hepatitis C is considered to be the leading cause of liver cancer and liver transplants in Europe and the USA.
Hepatitis E is an acute or chronic infection with the hepatitis E virus (HEV). In Europe, most of the infections are locally-acquired and asymptomatic. Acute infections cause a self-limiting hepatitis, but can become chronic in immuno-compromised patients with the risk of the development of severe liver cirrhosis. HEV has also been described related to other clinical syndromes e.g. neurological.
In Europe, hepatitis E is mainly a zoonosis with the reservoir in pigs or wild boar. The infection is transmitted through the consumption of contaminated and not properly cooked pork meat or other pork or game products.
A vaccine has been developed but is not licensed in Europe or recommended for use by WHO. | 2019-04-19T20:37:30 | https://ecdc.europa.eu/en/viral-hepatitis/facts |

INTENDED USE This Monkey AFU ELISA kit is intended for laboratory research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The stop solution changes color from blue to yellow and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer. In order to measure the concentration of Monkey AFU in the sample, this Monkey AFU ELISA Kit includes a set of calibration standards. The calibration standards are assayed at the same time as the samples and allow the operator to produce a standard curve of optical density versus Monkey AFU concentration. The concentration of the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve. | 2019-04-19T01:21:43 | https://neobiolab.com/elisa-kits/monkey-afu/mka0767 |
World number one Oliver Townend is set for another great day at the Magic Millions Festival of British Eventing, as he currently holds the lead after dressage in Sunday’s showpiece class as well as the Advanced section.
Oliver, who already has ten Festival titles to his name, produced an outstanding dressage test on Sally-Anne Egginton’s Cillnabradden Evo to lead the Magic Millions British Open CIC*** on a mark of 19 penalties. The pair, who won this coveted title in 2016, lead Australia’s Christopher Burton by 2.4 penalties.
“Burto” has a reputation as one of the fastest riders across country and his mount, Polystar l, is a recent winner at this level. He and Oliver are two of the most competitive riders on the international circuit and tomorrow’s competition promises to be a fascinating showdown.
Oliver is also lying fourth on MHS King Joules, another ride he has taken over from New Zealander Andrew Nicholson, and Christopher is 11th on Graf Liberty.
Izzy Taylor, also a brilliant and stylish cross-country rider, is lying third on the lovely Be Touchable, a stunning horse to watch and a winner of four classes at this level, and the master Kiwi, Sir Mark Todd, three times a winner of the title, is in fifth place on NZB Campino.
The show jumping phase for this class starts at 11:00am and riders cannot afford a single mistake if they are to retain their places.
Oliver also leads the British Eventing Trophy for Advanced Horses on his 2017 Burghley winner Ballaghmor Class by just 0.7 of a penalty from Australian Bill Levett on Improvise.
The show jumping for this class starts at 9:00am.
In the Top Spec Challenge for the Corinthian Cup, where amateur riders can fulfil a lifetime’s ambition by riding around one of the world’s most famous crosscountry courses, Jethro Thompson is set for a memorable day after taking the lead with a clear show jumping round on the Irish-bred Seapatrick Hint of Cruise.
The cross-country action starts at 10.30am.
Andrew Downes and Jane Moss’s Gold Nugget heads the RoR/NTF Retrained Racehorse Event Championship, a hugely popular and worthwhile addition to The Festival programme, after finishing just one second over the optimum crosscountry time.
Brazilian rider Carlos Parro is in second place on his experienced eventer Summon Up The Blood and Tom McEwen is in the prizes again, in third on Dream Big.
On Sunday (at 12.50pm), the top eight combinations show jump in reverse order of merit to decide the title holders.
Full results available on www.bdwp.co.uk/gatcombe and Live Streaming of Cross Country action is available on the Live Stream from 10:30am tomorrow. | 2019-04-26T07:48:55 | https://www.festivalofbritisheventing.com/oliver-townend-set-for-bumper-day/ |

How much are spelling and grammar mistakes costing you?
Your website is lovely, your blog posts are lyrical, but typos and bad syntax could be driving potential customers away by the thousands. Stanch the bleeding. Here’s how.
Most articles will tell you that poor grammar can kill sales.
Though not as damning in blog posts as in sales copy, grammatical errors can dissolve credibility, resulting in fewer sales.
Is there anything empirical to support this?
Although spelling mistakes haven’t been heavily researched in relation to revenue, optimization or growth, there is some research that suggests spelling mistakes damage credibility. Some business experts directly correlate spelling mistakes to lost revenue.
Although it was a minor error, it made me rethink the credibility of the site.
I’m well aware there are typos on my own site. Mistakes happen, but how much are those mistakes worth?
The people at Grammarly recently wrote about a study they conducted showing the professional dangers of bad grammar.
Fewer grammar errors correlate with more promotions. The study found that professionals with one to four promotions over their 10-year careers made 45 percent more grammar errors than those with six to nine promotions in the same time frame.
Fewer grammar errors correlate with frequent job changes. Those who remained at the same company for more than 10 years made 20 percent more grammar mistakes than those who held six jobs in the same period.
Granted this is correlative data based on a small sample size, by no means representative of the professional world at large. Still, these are interesting findings.
In the dating world, Colour Works found similar insights. The company conducted a study of 1,700 online daters and found that 43 percent of users consider bad grammar decidedly unattractive and 35 percent think good grammar is appealing.
In the social media realm, it seems spelling errors are one of the largest mistakes a brand representative can make. A London-based digital communications agency surveyed 1,003 U.K. Web users last July, and it found that close to half of the overall respondents—42.5 percent—would be most influenced by spelling or grammar blunders.
Of course, different audiences respond differently, even in relation to credibility cues. For example, they found that younger respondents (under 27.9 years old) were harsher on sites that had typos or broken links.
In other words, there’s no denying that first impressions matter. If your content is plagued by poor grammar, it’s likely that people will think twice about the quality of your products or services.
By presenting readers with sub par content, you are putting your business at risk of losing valuable word-of-mouth marketing. Or even worse, you’ll be subject to negative word-of-mouth attention.
Spelling errors cost companies millions?
There have been loose negative correlations between bad grammar and professional success, dating and social media brand perception. All that is interesting, but if it doesn’t hurt the bottom line, does it matter?
According to the BBC, one entrepreneur has said that poor spelling is costing the UK millions of pounds in lost revenue for online businesses.
The article doesn’t release any concrete data, so it’s hard to give much weight to the figures they spout. Charles Duncombe, the entrepreneur quoted in the article, says an analysis of website figures shows a single spelling mistake can cut online sales in half.
He acknowledged, however, that some parts of the Internet, such as Facebook or blogs, are less susceptible to this sort of scrutiny—which makes intuitive sense. If you’re about to drop your credit card information, trusting a website is much more important.
The people at TightsPlease.co.uk also found spelling errors decreased their conversions. They noticed that on the tights category page, they had misspelled the word “Tights”—the misspelling was “Tihgts”—and they noticed that was causing the page to leak money. Once fixed, conversions jumped by 80 percent.
Though they didn’t do a controlled experiment, it was an easy enough fix that produced noticeable results. They chalked it up to the same category of errors as out-of-stock items, wrong dates and other detail mess-ups.
Because our brain fills in gaps based on context, it helps to break that context to see things as they are.
2. Bring in a fresh pair of eyes.
This is, of course, the value in having a good editor. If you’re the editor or you don’t have one, you can usually get a friend or a co-worker to read your copy. We try to have our blog posts reviewed by another content team member before publishing.
This is pretty classic advice when it comes to editing. Not only will you catch grammar errors, you’ll also write more like you talk (a good thing, unless you get sloppy about it). The end result is that your writing will be better overall, as well as free of errors.
Though this is tough to do—or even impossible if you’ve got a pressing deadline—revisiting your copy later helps you see it with a fresh pair of eyes.
When I write articles like this, I tend to write the whole thing at one time, spilling out errors and pretty crappy prose. I edit it the next day or at a later time. It helps me see the article in a new way and catch things my fatigued eyes would have missed otherwise.
5. Use software like Grammarly.
Spell-check isn’t, or at least shouldn’t be, the last line of defense. If you download something like Grammarly, you can catch grammar errors all over the Internet, whether you’re writing in WordPress or posting a LinkedIn update. I’ve had it downloaded for about a week, and it’s already helped me avoid errors.

This release includes a mixed collection of both new features and bug fixes.
Fonts will no longer be limited to how many characters can fit into a font image at build time. Instead they will all be generated but only be streamed in at realtime depending on what text is currently shown. This opens up for fonts and languages with a large amount of different characters. Users also have the ability to set the size of the realtime font cache texture.
When bundling iOS or Android, selecting `Release` will output a binary with debug symbols stripped. This should result in a smaller bundled package size.
Fixed: Send error when consuming a product on Android fails.
If you currently are using a custom "Info.plist" and/or "AndroidManifest.xml", you might need to make some changes to be able to use inter-app communications.
Again, these changes are only needed if you are using a custom "Info.plist" and/or "AndroidManifest.xml" file! | 2019-04-23T15:54:00 | https://www.defold.com/release-notes/1.2.69/ |
Clinical research is a key part of our Center’s mission to improve the lives of our patients.
Everyday our patients show us that Activity-Based Restorative Therapies (ABRT) improves day-to-day and neurological function, overall health, and quality of life. At the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury (ICSCI), we are constantly assessing our therapeutic interventions’ effectiveness, continuing to develop new and improved technology, and testing new clinical interventions, in order to improve patient care and advance the field of spinal cord rehabilitation and restoration. Learn more about our clinical research program, how you can participate in clinical research, and explore the center’s publications and presentations on various topics.
Clinical research involves people (research participants) and is designed to answer specific medical questions. Paralysis research can cover a wide range of topics including medical (including pain, spasticity, bone mass, fatigue, fertility, fitness, etc.), psychological (such as post-traumatic stress and growth, hopefulness, etc.), pharmacological, rehabilitative interventions, and various other areas of concern for people with paralysis.
Why is paralysis clinical research important?
Clinical research helps the medical community better understand the nature of paralysis, develop new treatments, and improve current interventions. The International Center for Spinal Cord Injury team is not only conducting our own clinical research, we are actively engaging with the wider medical and rehabilitation community to share our research with other similar centers and to learn about the latest research breakthroughs happening in clinics and laboratories all over the world. Clinical research allows us, as clinicians and providers, to stay at the forefront of knowledge, so we can provide the best medical and therapeutic care to our patients based on the best information and evidence available.
The most important way that everyone can help is to bring awareness to the topic. Talk to your friends and family about the importance of spinal cord injury and paralysis research. Most people are unaware of the devastating effects paralysis can have. As you know, injury or diagnosis changes your life forever. Understanding and treating paralysis depends on supporting research efforts.
If you have paralysis, consider volunteering to participate in a clinical trial. There are clinical trials for a variety of diagnoses, both chronic and acute. In addition to our clinical trials, you can visit ClinicalTrials.gov to learn about studies happening all over the country.
Your support is key - with your support, we are revolutionizing rehabilitation research for patients with paralysis. Your gift can help make this research possible. | 2019-04-24T02:42:05 | https://www.kennedykrieger.org/patient-care/centers-and-programs/international-center-for-spinal-cord-injury/frequently-asked-questions |

The death several weeks ago of Dr. Madeleine Cosman came as a total surprise; I had not heard of her demise through newspaper obituaries.
But that should be no surprise, for, given her fierce determination to address the medical dangers that illegal aliens pose, the media would be unwilling to mention her passing. Her death was due to a rare disease called scleroderma that destroys the connective tissues that support the body.
My introduction to Cosman, an attorney who specialized in the ethical and medical aspects of the law, came about last year when The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons published her article, "Illegal Immigration and American Medicine."
Written in a style that packed powerful arguments backed with statistical data - a lawyer's brief - Cosman made the case that U.S. Public Health officials were failing (or perhaps refusing) to explain to the general public what medical dangers illegal immigrants posed.
I was so impressed with the article that I sent it to Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA), who read part of it into The Congressional Record. In my appearances before Virginia legislative committees, I used that information to buttress the case made by Cosman: "We may know what illegal aliens carry in their backpacks; we do no know what they carry in their bodies."
Cosman tracked the growing number of illnesses - tuberculosis, often of a virulent nature, leprosy, and even Chaga's disease, for which there is no known cure - which illegal aliens may bring with them.
Unlike the current political class of both parties who ignore this aspect of illegal immigration, Cosman was unstoppable in her pursuit of the truth.
In financial and medical terms, illegal aliens are bankrupting the places where they swarm. She detailed the catastrophic impact of illegal aliens on the California hospital system, where unfunded mandates demanded by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act are responsible for the closing of more than 80 hospitals.
When she spoke at Carlsbad, 150 law enforcement agents were sent to prevent potential violence; a clear sign that the other side of this issue does not want to hear the truth.
Dr. Cosman was 68. She will be greatly missed.
Joe Guzzardi comments: VDARE.COM is late in publishing this tribute to Dr. Cosman. In my many phone conversations and meetings with her, Cosman was gracious and generous with her knowledge. And Cosman had abundant praise and admiration for the work that the immigration reform community does on behalf of all Americans.
Like Chiarello and the rest of us at VDARE.COM, I will miss her too. | 2019-04-26T16:06:05 | https://vdare.com/letters/a-virginia-reader-remembers-dr-madeleine-cosman |

As first reported in a Breaking News Alert, UK-based 4imprint Group, the parent company of Counselor Top 40 distributor 4imprint (asi/197045), has sold its European supplier division, SPS. The deal, announced yesterday, is valued at £7.25 million (approximately $12 million) and transfers SPS to ENSCO 1024 Limited, a company backed by equity firm Maven Capital Partners. The sale of SPS means 4imprint will put greater emphasis on its traditional distributor business – most of which is based in the company’s North American division.
“With this sale and the sale of Brand Addition in 2012, the Group has gone from three divisions down to one as part of a plan to focus our time and resources in support of the strong growth within the 4imprint Direct Marketing business,” Kevin Lyons-Tarr, president of 4imprint, told Counselor.
Between 2008 and 2012 alone, 4imprint’s North American ad specialty sales rose by 50.4%. In February of 2012, 4imprint sold its European Brand Addition and Kreyer Promotion Service companies to Miami, FL-based private equity firm H.I.G. Europe Capital Partners for roughly $38 million. The SPS sale, which will net 4imprint £5.8 million ($9.5 million) after transaction costs and buyouts, is the UK company’s latest move in an effort to concentrate more on the North American market.
Ranked as the fifth largest distributor in the industry, 4imprint reported 2012 North American ad specialty sales of $256.5 million, a 14.3.% year-over-year increase. Last month, 4imprint said in a public earnings statement that its 2013 sales rose by 15% in its North American division, reaching revenues of $294.9 million. | 2019-04-24T08:04:22 | https://www.asicentral.com/magazines/Counselor/news/content.aspx?id=1136 |

The Hamilton Sewerage Amendment Bill was brought before the House of Assembly, with the Bill seeking to allow sewerage taxes to be imposed on units that outside the municipal area of the City of Hamilton if the units are connected to the Corporation’s sewerage system.
Speaking outside the House on Friday, Economic Development Minister Dr Grant Gibbons told Bernews, “Going back a number of years, the Corporation of Hamilton recognized that they needed to start putting some money aside for capital upgrades to the sewage system, which, as everybody knows, deals with everybody within the municipal boundaries, but they’re also a lot of others that are connected up.
“It goes as far as Berkeley, CedarBridge, Prospect, and a lot of Government facilities as well. It goes all the way out to the east through East Broadway, and the hospital’s connected to it as well.
“We’re talking about a fairly major infrastructure system here. They’ve done some capital upgrades in the last couple of years, but they recognize they need to start putting some money aside for that.
“The Bill this morning essentially gave them the authority to be able to impose, under an old ordinance, an old Act in the city of Hamilton, the 1917 act, a sewage tax simply for capital upgrades. The tax is likely to be very modest, the maximum they can assess is some $0.25 per hundred dollars,” continued Dr Gibbons.
“For a small residential ARV of about $30,000, that looks like it’s going to be about $75 per year. Larger property maybe up to $250, that would be the maximum.
“There was also some discussion about the need to look at how we deal with raw sewage, which is now pumped out off of Seabright and through rather a long pipe out there.
“I think the discussion revolved around the fact that depending on the amount of treatment, that could range from $20 to $60 million dollars in additional capital spending.
No problem with this move. CoH have every right to tax residences and businesses that fall outside of their formal governing boundary, specifically with regards to their use of CoH infrastructure. The need to plan and fund infrastructure upgrades and maintenance is vital.
They are too busy paving over all the parking bays, narrowing the roads and putting in an acre of paving stones from Tills Hill to Tools and Equipment, amongst other follies, to build a sewage treatment plant. Oh yeah, we need 8000 more people to increase the flow into our waters too.
We are going to need a TEA party as our next political party when the government has to resort to taxing sh*t. Looks like they are running out of eligible items to tax. Look out civil service.
this is the COH…are you without more than just George?
Man, if they could tax the amount of BS coming out of Alaska Hall the debt could be paid in a month.
If a problem such as a break in the sewer line were to occur say at East Broadway the only option would be to pump raw sewage into Hamilton Harbour. There is no holding tank. The “treatment” tank across from the Supermart is very large but almost always full. There is no alternative and the pumping into the Harbour would start within minutes.
If you read the bill and not the headline you will see both inside and outside valuation units will be charged this new tax .
The rates and current connection charges are used for maintenance of the system according to what Gibbons said on Friday. Almost three quarters of a million for operations this year according to 2016 budget.
The only real choice for Hamilton sewage is to pump to the Blaackwatch Pass area. There to be properly treated before discharge into the waters of the North Shore. Possibly with a backup plan to also use the existing sewage line that discharges off shore at Hungrey Bay. On the other hand if the sewage is properly treated it could be discharged into Mills Creek.
… Not if they are still dumping it out at Seabright untreated !
Treated bullsh*t means more money thrown at it versus untreated bullsh*t meaning less money thrown at it! No money…more sh*t!! | 2019-04-22T08:03:27 | http://bernews.com/2016/06/bill-to-allow-for-sewage-tax-to-be-imposed/ |

You can use this skill to address a power stone (to learn what powers are encoded on it) or to activate a psionic item. This skill lets you use a psionic item as if you had the manifesting ability or class features of another class, as if you were a different race, or as if you were a different alignment.
Some psionic items are activated by special specific thoughts or conceptions. You can activate such items as if you were using the activation method, even if you’re not and even if you don’t know it. You do have to use something equivalent. You have to wave the item around or otherwise attempt to get it to activate. You get a special +2 bonus if you’ve activated the item at least once before.
Successfully addressing a power stone allows you to find out what power or powers it contains. Doing this requires 1 minute of concentration.
To manifest a power from a power stone, you need a high ability score in the appropriate ability. Your effective ability score (appropriate to the class you’re emulating when you try to manifest the power from the power stone) is your check result minus 15. If you already have a high enough score in the appropriate ability, you don’t need to make this check.
Some psionic items have positive or negative effects based on your alignment. Use Psionic Device lets you use these items as if you were of an alignment of your choice. You can emulate only one alignment at a time.
Sometimes you need to use a class feature to activate a psionic item. Your effective level in the emulated class equals your check result minus 20. This skill does not let you use the class feature of another class. It just lets you activate items as if you had the class feature.
Some psionic items work only for certain races, or work better for those of certain races. You can use such an item as if you were a race of your choice. You can emulate only one race at a time.
Normally, to use a dorje, you must have the dorje’s power on your class power list. This use of the skill allows you to use a dorje as if you had a particular power on your class power list. This use of the skill applies to other power trigger psionic items, if applicable.
Normally, to manifest a power from a power stone, you must have the power stone’s power on your class power list. This use of the skill allows you to use a power stone as if you had a particular power on your class power list. The DC is equal to 20 + the manifester level of the power you are trying to manifest from the power stone. Note: Before you use a power stone, you must first have addressed it to determine what powers it contains. In addition, manifesting a power from a power stone requires a minimum score (10 + power level) in the appropriate ability. If you don’t have a high enough score, you must emulate the ability score with a separate check (see above). This use of the skill applies to other power completion psionic items.
None. The Use Psionic Device check is made as part of the action (if any) required to activate the psionic item.
Yes, but if you ever roll a natural 1 while attempting to activate an item and you fail, you can’t try to activate it again for a day.
You can’t aid another on Use Psionic Device checks. Only the user of the item can attempt such a check. | 2019-04-21T04:58:41 | http://www.dragonarmyone.com/Home/index/fantasy-house-rules/character-creation2/skills/use-psionic-device-1 |
Paul Erdõs, one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century, and certainly the most eccentric, was internationally recognized as a prodigy by age seventeen. Hungarian-born Erdõs believed that the meaning of life was to prove and conjecture. His work in the United States and all over the world has earned him the titles of the century's leading number theorist and the most prolific mathematician who ever lived. Erdõs's important work has proved pivotal to the development of computer science, and his unique personality makes him an unforgettable character in the world of mathematics. Incapable of the smallest of household tasks and having no permanent home or job, he was sustained by the generosity of colleagues and by his own belief in the beauty of numbers.
Witty and filled with the sort of mathematical puzzles that intrigued Erdõs and continue to fascinate mathematicians today, My Brain Is Open is the story of this strange genius and a journey in his footsteps through the world of mathematics, where universal truths await discovery like hidden treasures and where brilliant proofs are poetry.
The call might come at midnight or an hour before dawn -- mathematicians are oddly unable to handle the arithmetic of time zones. Typically, a thickly accented voice on the other end of the line would abruptly begin: "I am calling from Berlin. I want to speak to Erdõs."
"Why don't you know?" Click!
Neither are mathematicians always observant of the social graces.
For more than sixty years mathematicians around the world have been roused from their abstract dreams by such calls, the first of the many disruptions that constituted a visit from Paul Erdõs. The frequency of the calls would increase over the next several days and would culminate with a summons to the airport, where Erdõs himself would appear, a short, frail man in a shapeless old suit, clutching two small suitcases that contained all of his worldly possessions. Stepping off the plane he would announce to the welcoming group of mathematicians, "My brain is open!"
Paul Erdõs's brain, when open, was one of the wonders of the world, an Ali Baba's cave, glittering with mathematical treasures, gems of the most intricate cut and surpassing beauty. Unlike Ali Baba's cave, which was hidden behind a huge stone in a remote desert, Erdõs and his brain were in perpetual motion. He moved between mathematical meetings, universities, and corporate think tanks, logging hundreds of thousands of miles. "Another roof, another proof," as he liked to say. "Want to meet Erdõs?" mathematicians would ask. "Just stay here and wait. He'll show up." Along the way, in borrowed offices, guest bedrooms, and airplane cabins, Erdõs wrote in excess of 1,500 papers, books, and articles, more than any other mathematician who ever lived. Among them are some of the great classics of the twentieth century, papers that opened up entire new fields and became the obsession and inspiration of generations of mathematicians.
The meaning of life, Erdõs often said, was to prove and conjecture. Proof and conjecture are the tools with which mathematicians explore the Platonic universe of pure form, a universe that to many of them is as real as the universe in which they must reluctantly make their homes and livings, and far more beautiful. "If numbers aren't beautiful, I don't know what is," Erdõs frequently remarked. And although, like all mathematicians, he was forced to make his home in the temporal world, he rejected worldly encumbrances. He had no place on earth he called home, nothing resembling a conventional year-round, nine-to-five job, and no family in the usual sense of the word. He arranged his life with only one purpose, to spend as many hours a day as possible engaged in the essential, life-affirming business of proof and conjecture.
For Erdõs, the mathematics that consumed most of his waking hours was not a solitary pursuit but a social activity, a movable feast. One of the great mathematical discoveries of the twentieth century was the simple equation that two heads are better than one. Ever since Archimedes traced his circles in the sand, mathematicians, for the most part, have labored alone -- that is, until some forgotten soul realized that mathematics could be done anywhere. Only paper and pencil were needed, and those were not strictly essential. A table-cloth would do in a pinch, or the mathematician could carry his equations in his head, like a chessmaster playing blindfolded. Strong coffee, and in Erdõs's case even more powerful stimulants, helped too. Mathematicians began to frequent the coffeehouses of Budapest, Prague, and Paris, which led to the quip often attributed to Erdõs: "A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems." Increasingly, mathematical papers became the work of two, three, or more collaborators. That radical transformation of how mathematics is created is the result of many factors, not the least of which was the infectious example set by Erdõs.
Erdõs had more collaborators than most people have aquaintances. He wrote papers with more than 450 collaborators -- the exact number is still not known, since Erdõs participated in the creation of new mathematics until the last day of his life, and his collaborators are expected to continue writing and publishing for years. The briefest encounter could lead to a publication -- for scores of young mathematicians a publication that could become the cornerstone of their life's work. He would work with anyone who could keep up with him, the famous or the unknown. Having been a child prodigy himself, he was particularly interested in meeting and helping to develop the talents of young mathematicians. Many of the world's leading mathematicians owe their careers to an early meeting with Erdõs.
Krishna Alladi, who is now a mathematician at the University of Florida, is one of the many young mathematicians whom Erdõs helped. In 1974, when Alladi was an undergraduate in Madras, India, he began an independent investigation of a certain number theoretic function. His teachers could not help Alladi with his problem, nor could his father, who was a theoretical physicist and head of the Madras Institute of Mathematics. Alladi's father told some of his knowledgeable friends about his son's difficulty, and they suggested that he write to Erdõs.
Because Erdõs was constantly on the move, Alladi sent a letter to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In an astonishingly short time, Alladi heard from Erdõs, who said he would soon be lecturing in Calcutta. Could Alladi come there to meet him? Unfortunately, Alladi had examinations and could not attend, so he sent his father in his place to present the results of his research. After his father's talk, Alladi recounts, "Erdõs walked up to him and told him in very polite terms that he was not interested in the father but in the son." Determined to meet with the promising young mathematician, Erdõs, who was bound for Australia, rerouted his trip to stop briefly in Madras, which lies about 850 miles south of Calcutta.
The Iyers and Iyengars are two Brahmin sects. The Iyers worship Shiva the Destroyer but will also worship in the temples of the Iyengars, who worship only Lord Vishnu, the Protector. Erdõs explained that this was his variation on the poem about Boston and the pecking order among the Lowells, the Cabots, and God. Having put Alladi at ease, Erdõs launched into a discussion of mathematics. Erdõs was so impressed with Alladi, who was applying to graduate schools in the United States, that he wrote a letter on his behalf. Within a month Alladi received the Chancellor's Fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles.
A celebrated magazine article about Erdõs was called "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers." While it is true that Erdõs loved numbers, he loved much more. He loved to talk about history, politics, and almost any other subject. He loved to take long walks and to climb towers, no matter how dismal the prospective view; he loved to play ping-pong, chess, and Go; he loved to perform silly tricks to amuse children and to make sly jokes and thumb his nose at authority. But most of all, Erdõs loved those who loved numbers, mathematicians. He showed that love by opening his pocket as well as his mind. Having no permanent job, Erdõs also had little money, but whatever he had was at the service of others. If he heard of a graduate student who needed money to continue his studies, he would send a check. Whenever he lectured in Madras he would send his fee to the needy widow of the great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan; he had never met Ramanujan or his wife, but the beauty of Ramanujan's equations had inspired Erdõs as a young mathematician. In 1984 he won the prestigious Wolf prize, which came with a cash award of $50,000, easily the most money Erdõs had ever received at one time. He gave $30,000 to endow a postdoctoral fellowship in the name of his parents at the Technion in Haifa, Israel, and used the remainder to help relatives, graduate students, and colleagues. "I kept only $720," Erdõs recalled.
In the years before the Internet, there was Paul Erdõs. He carried a shopping bag crammed with the latest papers, and his brain was stuffed with the latest gossip as well as an amazing database of the world of mathematics. He knew everybody: what they were interested in; what they had conjectured, proved, or were in the midst of proving; their phone numbers; the names and ages of their wives, children, pets; and much more. He could tell off the top of his head on which page in which obscure Russian journal a theorem similar to the one you were working on was proved in 1922. When he met a mathematician in Warsaw, say, he would immediately take up the conversation where they had left it two years earlier. During the iciest years of the Cold War Erdõs's fame allowed him freely to cross the Iron Curtain, so that he became a vital link between the East and the West.
In 1938, with Europe on the brink of war, Erdõs fled to the United States and embarked on his mathematical journeys. This book is the story of those adventures. Because they took Erdõs everywhere mathematics is done, this is also the story of the world of mathematics, a world virtually unknown to outsiders. Today perhaps the only mathematician most people can name is Theodore Kaczynski. The names of Karl Friedrich Gauss, Bernhard Riemann, Georg Cantor, and Leonhard Euler, who are to mathematics what Shakespeare is to literature and Mozart to music, are virtually unknown outside of the worlds of math and science.
For all the frequent-flier miles Erdõs collected, his true voyages were journeys of the mind. Erdõs carefully constructed his life to allow himself as much time as possible for those inward journeys, so a true biography of Erdõs should spend almost as much time in the Platonic realm of mathematics as in the real world. For a layman this may seem to be a forbidding prospect. Fortunately, many of the ideas that fascinated Erdõs can be easily grasped by anyone with a modest recollection of high school mathematics. The proofs and conjectures that made Erdõs famous are, of course, far more difficult to follow, but that should not be of much concern to the reader. As Ralph Boas wrote, "Only professional mathematicians learn anything from proofs. Other people learn from explanations." Just as it is not necessary to understand how Glenn Gould fingers a difficult passage to be dazzled by his performance of the "Goldberg Variations," one does not have to understand the details of Erdõs's elegant proofs to appreciate the beauty of his mathematics. And it is the nature of Erdõs's work that while his proofs are difficult, the questions he asks can be quite easy to understand. Erdõs often offered money for the solution to problems he proposed. Some of those problems are easy enough for readers of this book to understand -- and perhaps even solve. Those who decide to try should be warned that, as Erdõs has pointed out, when the number of hours it takes to solve one of his problems is taken into account, the cash prizes rarely exceed minimum wage. The true prize is to share in the joy that Erdõs knew so well, joy in understanding a page of the eternal book of mathematics.

TAMU Professor and AgriLife Extension Wildlife and Fisheries Specialist Bill Higginbotham has made five publications available on cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) toxicity in livestock drinking water. If a landowner suspects that blue-green algal blooms in a water trough or pond may be involved in livestock sickness or death, livestock should be moved to another source of water and water samples should be forwarded to the TVMDL for diagnostics. Although there are always exceptions, blue-green algal blooms are usually most prominent in the hottest time of the summer without significant rainfall (e.g., “stagnant” conditions)—and just because blue-green algae is present does not necessarily mean it will have an adverse impact on livestock and wildlife drinking it. | 2019-04-22T00:52:39 | https://cowtalk.wordpress.com/2016/09/19/livestock-producers-should-check-ponds-for-blue-green-algae/ |
There is an area consisting of a few blocks of red brick buildings, arches, balconies, and nooks built at the end of 19th century in the heart of historical Vladivostok that holds a lot of juicy secrets. It is called "Millionka".
The old "Millionka" was a fun and creepy place with brothels, gambling houses, and opium dens. In other words, it was a nest of crime controlled by Chinese gangs.
In 1936, NKVD (the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs) liquidated it during one of their raids.
However, "Millionka" still has not lost its old peculiar charm. Nowadays it is a place for walking, featuring abundant cafes, art galleries, and conceptual graffiti that attracts many people, especially artists.

Today's computers give us the power to split audio into hundreds or even thousands of bands and give each one a different effect treatment. At the simplest level, you could alter the static output level of each band, giving you an extremely flexible EQ, or alter these levels dynamically to create gating, compression or expansion effects in the spectral domain. These can provide far more radical results than the more typical multi-band dynamics plug-in or, alternatively, more refined ones, depending on personal taste!
If a second audio file can be loaded into your plug-in, for even more advanced effects you could statically compare the EQ of your audio signal with it and attempt to match the two (aka 'EQ ripping'), or do this dynamically for vocoding or morphing effects that contain characteristics of both signals, such as 'talking' pianos or 'singing' drums. Once in the frequency domain, you can also mathematically manipulate each band, at which point the results start to get really intriguing.The sonic ground covered by multi-band spectral plug-ins is quite considerable, ranging from delicate transformations and subtle effects all the way through to sonic mangling of the most extreme and unexpected kind. Audio quality can also vary considerably, but there's plenty of choice, varying from freeware effects to complex commercial products; let's have a look at what's on offer.
Once you have sufficient bands in an EQ, you can move beyond the peak and shelf responses of more traditional designs to generate any frequency-response curve you can imagine. This opens up a lot of possibilities, including surgically removing small details related to specific frequencies in an audio file, such as hums and buzzes that may each involve several harmonic components, but for most people it's the ability to 'learn' the frequency response of an incoming sound and subsequently apply this to another audio file that's most intriguing.
With up to 4096 bands of EQ, you can apply complex response curves (as shown above with Voxengo's Curve EQ) to simulate the foibles of hardware devices, learn the response of one file and apply it to another, or draw in your own exotic responses for special effect purposes (as demonstrated by Delaydots' Spectral Shaper).
A very popular pastime is so-called EQ ripping, where you modify the frequency response of one of your own tracks to match that of a well-polished commercial offering. This technique can undoubtedly benefit some songs with similar arrangements and instrumentation, but it's not the panacea that some musicians think. For instance, you don't want every response ripple of the target track to be faithfully re-created in your destination track, particularly if the songs are in different keys, since peaks belonging to specific notes in one track will never correspond to those in the other one.
Nevertheless, EQ ripping is certainly educational, especially since it can also be used to 'learn' the response curves of other hardware/software EQs, or indeed the frequency-response foibles of other hardware such as microphones, tube amps or tape machines.
One of the first of these EQs to appear was Steinberg's 30-band Freefilter (later incorporated into the Mastering Edition bundle, but now discontinued), featuring a variety of drawing tools, a learn mode and a spectrum analyser to display what's happening. A few more recent plug-ins with spectrum-matching EQ functions include Roger Nichols Digital's Frequal-izer (previously Elemental Systems' Firium), and Voxengo's Curve EQ (with up to 60 bands, built-in harmonic generation and saturation processing for that analogue/tube sound, plus 'GearMatch', which allows you to superimpose the frequency-response ripples for up to two different devices on your curves). Izotope's Ozone mastering plug-in also includes a paragraphic EQ with up to 16,000 bands and soft saturation modelling.
One simpler plug-in that nevertheless offers lots of creative potential is Delaydots' Spectral Shaper, an FFT-based 4096-band EQ that lets you convert a WAV file into a frequency response to apply to your audio signals, or you can draw in your own from scratch using a pencil tool. To eradicate minor response wiggles there's a Smooth control, while using the Sharp control further accentuates them. This plug-in was originally designed for such tasks as making vocals sound as if they were coming through a telephone or intercom, but I've found it even more effective for extreme hand-drawn responses: by restricting the output to a few narrow frequency spikes you can turn drum loops into pulsing chords, drones, comb-filters and the like.
Soundhack's Morphfilter (one of four plug-ins in Tom Erbe's Spectral Shapers bundle) takes this approach several stages further, with two filter shapes that you can either learn from an audio file or draw in using the mouse. You can then morph between the two, using MIDI automation or an integral LFO that you can sync to the host application. The Filter Depth control has a nominal 1.0 setting, but you can exaggerate the response if you increase the setting to 2.0, reduce it to a flat response at 0.0, and generate an inverse response shape as you reduce it still further to -2.0. There's also an overall Tilt EQ control to balance highs and lows either side of 1kHz.
While this plug-in positively encourages special effects use with slowly morphing responses or pulsing changes, it can also be used in more subtle ways, such as reducing unwanted characteristics in a sound by learning the shape of the unwanted frequencies and then using a lower Filter Depth setting to reduce prominent peaks. If you have recorded tracks in a room that has 'honky' acoustics, you could also try recording some white noise in the same room, capturing its response and then using an inverse Filter depth setting on your tracks to automatically reduce the peaks.
By measuring the amplitude in each spectral band and subjecting it to various rules, you can create unique dynamics processors. A simple, yet powerful example is spectral gating. Unlike a standard noise gate that lets no signal through until it reaches a certain threshold, and then lets everything through, a spectral gate only ever lets frequency bands through whose level exceeds the threshold.
Soundhack Spectral Compand. Simple spectral gating using a plug-in like Shiny FX's Spectral Monkeyage is useful for noise reduction or special effects, while the more sophisticated Soundhack Spectral Compand (above) can also increase harmonics and ambience, and flatten frequency response.Shiny FX's Spectral Monkeyage has up to 4096 individual gates, one for each of its frequency bands, but a single slider to set the global threshold level. At low settings you can use it to remove unwanted background noise or low-level harmonics, while at higher settings it progressively removes all but the strongest frequency components, for unusual special effects. It also lets you move the band contents sideways, for crude pitch-shifting, and provides a spectral 'blurring' feedback control for ringing and freezing effects. It's not a subtle plug-in, but is surprisingly versatile for a freeware offering.
Rather more sophisticated is the Soundhack Spectral Gate, featuring a set of more traditional dynamic controls with good calibration and metering. The threshold settings of its 512 bands can be further moulded by 'learning' the spectrum of an incoming signal, or you can directly draw the desired response on its spectrum display, with a further global Tilt control to balance the low- and high-frequency threshold settings. Even better, you can switch it between Gate and Duck modes, the latter being useful for reducing prominent frequencies by reducing their gain above the threshold setting. You need to spend some time with it for best results, but it's well worth the effort.
As its name suggests, Soundhack's Spectral Compand takes things further, with a similar set of controls, except that Gain is replaced by Ratio, for compression/expansion effects, and the simple Learn button of the gate is also replaced by Learn Peak and Learn Average buttons, for setting the threshold spectrum according to the incoming signal. An Invert button lets you hear the difference between input and output signals, which in expansion mode is very useful for noise-reduction duties, since you can adjust the other controls to only remove unwanted sounds, without interfering with the desired portion. In compression mode, you can use this plug-in to flatten the spectrum, which generally increases harmonics and ambience, or dynamically reshape it for special effects.
Voxengo's Soniformer has some aspects in common with Spectral Compand, in that it offers spectral compression, but it also aims to smooth out the spectral curve using both compression and expansion across 32 bands. Each of its main controls (Threshold, Attack, Release, Ratio, Wet Mix, Out Gain, Stereo Link, Width and Pan) can be altered across the spectrum by clicking and dragging control points in their individual parameter envelope windows. This is sophistication indeed, and makes Soniformer very useful at the mastering stage.
The jargon used by many spectral plug-ins can be initially baffling. If you just want to use the presets, you don't need to understand it, but if you want to make your own sounds, understanding the basics can help a great deal.
Time Domain: analysing how the amplitude of a signal such as a digital audio stream changes over time.
Frequency Domain: analysing a signal in terms of its frequency components.
Sonogram: also known as a Spectrogram, this graph displays frequency content in one direction and how it varies over time across the other, while the brightness of each pixel indicates the strength of each frequency band.
Transform: an alternative mathematical representation of a signal.
Fourier Transform: a mathematical algorithm that converts an incoming time-domain digital audio signal into its spectral components, so that they can be treated in the frequency domain. Once this has been done the signals are passed to a corresponding inverse Fourier Transform to convert the data back into its original form.
Bands/Window Size: digital audio is transformed one small FFT block or 'window' at a time, each consisting of a number of samples, and the number of resulting frequency bands is always half this figure. A larger window size therefore increases the frequency resolution, since it results in more frequency bands, but it will also increase the overall latency of the effect. Many spectral plug-ins default to 512 FFT/Analysis bands, and thus divide the audio into 256 frequency bands, which is generally the lowest 'clean' setting. Settings of 128 or 256 result in 'grainy' or otherwise coarser sounds with high-frequency distortion (useful for robotic and metallic effects), while higher values of 1024 or 2048 (if available) won't increase CPU overhead and may clean up the output still further. However, they may also change the tonality of the effect and will significantly increase its overall latency.
Window Shape: there's often a selection of Window shapes for the spectrum analysis, since the simplest Rectangular option will produce regular audible glitches as each block of treated data is joined back together, resulting in nasty-sounding artifacts/distortion. The default 'Hanning' window generally gives the cleanest results, and unless you want to experiment you can leave this parameter alone. However, others may give interesting harmonic colouration if this is what you're after.
Overlap: since a large window size increases frequency resolution (see above) but also increases latency, you can improve matters by overlapping successive windows — for instance, grabbing a window 512 samples wide every 128 samples (4x overlap). A lower overlap setting provides faster processing and lower latency but lowers resynthesis quality, while a larger overlap results in smoother transitions between blocks and much lower distortion levels, but lots more CPU power consumption. The amount of overlap is the most critical parameter for CPU overhead, so unless you're looking for special effects it's generally better to leave it at its default setting, or keep a close eye on your CPU meter.
While EQ-ripping plug-ins let you learn the static frequency response of one sample or track and impose this on your own material, other plug-ins let you apply the spectral characteristics of one sound to another in real time. This is often referred to as 'morphing'. For instance, MP3some's Shapee is a simple plug-in that takes two mono audio signals and creates one mono output signal derived from the amplitude of one and the frequency distribution of the other. Although this twin-mono restriction is initially frustrating, it avoids routing complications with the ever-popular Cubase (which still doesn't support plug-in side-chaining, to let one stereo signal control another), and with a little care the results are surprisingly controllable and effective for a freeware plug-in.
A classic vocoder such as Prosoniq's Orange Vocoder, shown here, can make guitars talk and turn drum loops into a choir.
Waves' Morphoder adds formant shifting, so you can change the gender of the voice.Other spectral morphing plug-ins offer stereo in/out capability but avoid side-chaining issues by letting you load in a separate stereo 'target' file that loops in the background while treating your real-time stereo input. For instance, Delaydots' Spectral Morpher (part of their Spectral Suite) offers both twin-mono and target file options, plus eleven morphing modes, including spectral convolution, various mutations and spectral vocoding. This is definitely one for the special effects enthusiast.
While a separate looping target file of continuous sounds such as choirs, organ chords or synth pads works well when morphed with rhythmic sounds such as drum tracks, if you choose a rhythmic sound for your target, such as a drum loop, the morphing effect will freewheel and not stay in sync with the input signal. To overcome this limitation, Delaydots' Spectrumworx provides the option to retrigger the target sample via MIDI notes, while Izotope's Spectron provides level-sensitive envelope triggering and LFOs syncable to the host sequencer, to a similar end. I'll be covering these in more depth in the next section, since they both qualify as spectral multi-effects.
Vocoding (a contraction of 'Voice' and 'Encoder') is essentially a specialised form of multi-band morphing that can give instruments a more realistic, vocal-like articulation, by adding the 'unvoiced' or plosive sounds such as 'S' or 'T' via a high-pass filter, or generating them internally using a built-in noise generator. In vocoder jargon, the morphing 'target' sound is known as the 'carrier signal, while the voice or guitar that articulates the carrier is the 'modulator' signal.
Early hardware channel-vocoders were analogue devices using between 10 and 24 band-pass filters with extremely steep slopes (typically between 60dB/octave and 96dB/octave, compared with the 12dB/octave or 24dB/octave employed in most synthesizer filters). To achieve this steepness, extremely low-tolerance components need to be used, which is the main reason why analogue vocoders tended to be so expensive, and why they often sounded different from each other.
Fortunately, there are now quite a few vocoder plug-ins available, ranging from simple freeware to complex commercial products and employing a variety of design approaches. Some developers simulate traditional analogue designs, such as Prosoniq with their 24-band Orange Vocoder plug-in, 'for a warm and transparent sound', although it nevertheless incorporates an 8-voice digital synth with on-screen keyboard as one carrier option. Waves use a similar 8-voice synth in Morphoder, and this plug-in also features formant-shifting technology, so you can change the character of your voice and simulate guitar Talkbox effects (where the sound is directed into the performer's mouth, so that it can be articulated).
Whereas channel vocoders deal with amplitude information, various other developers use phase vocoder algorithms that split the incoming signal into many more bands (typically 512 or more) and analyse both amplitude and phase information for each band, so they can use the phase information from one channel and apply to it the spectral envelope from the other channel. Examples can be found in Propellerheads' Reason (up to 512 bands) and NI's Vokator (1024 bands). Vokator is also unusual in that it incorporates a sampler with granular synthesis features as well as the more normal integrated synth, and even supplies a set of spectral effects for each channel, like those of Spektral Delay (see next section). Although this versatility can be daunting to the newcomer, Vokator is capable of a huge range of treatments.
To finish this section I should point out that in the film world morphing is now generally regarded as gradually changing one object into another (as famously featured in the film Terminator 2) so, strictly speaking, audio morphing should gradually change one sound into another. To do this properly requires rather more sophisticated techniques than offered by the morphers/vocoders above. However, if true morphing is the effect you're after, take a look at Prosoniq's Morph, which uses artificial neural networks for pattern recognition to create the in-between shapes.
As I was researching this feature I found links to various unusual and experimental freeware VST spectral plug-ins. Their graphic interfaces may be primitive (or even non-existent) and they are supplied 'as is' with no guarantees, so some may not be fully stable under all conditions. However, most VST plug-ins comprise a single DLL file that you drop into your VST plug-ins folder, and if you hit any problems you can quickly and easily remove them. I enjoyed MP3Some's Wavethresh and Ether; the Sp3ctr3 FFT-based audio-mangling plug-in; Thaw, by Cormac Daly; and Twisted Lemon's FFTfun.
Once you've gone to the trouble of converting an input signal into its spectral components for treatment, it's little more trouble to subject these to several serial effects than to a single one, before converting back to the original time-domain version. But because even a simple mathematical transformation in the spectral domain can result in radical changes to sounds, we now enter the 'outer limits' of plug-in effects.
One of the first spectral multi-effects to be released, and still one of the most sophisticated, NI's Spektral Delay is a treat for ears and eyes.
One of the first developers to enter this previously uncharted territory was Native Instruments, with their very ambitious Spektral Delay. It has an extremely elegant graphic interface featuring twin stereo sonogram displays for input and output, and the signals pass through up to four effect stages. The first is Input Modulation, offering your choice of one of 13 spectral insert effects that can transform the sound in radical ways. Some can be found in other plug-ins, while others are unique, offering exotic spectral comb and bandpass filtering, random frequency re-ordering, smearing or scrambling of the magnitude and phase information, or time-shifting or enveloping of the incoming data blocks. Yummy!Next up is is a spectral filter into which you can draw your own exotic response shapes, and then we come to the two effect blocks that give Spektral Delay its name: you can define different delay times and feedback amounts for each up to 1024 available frequency bands simply by drawing an on-screen shape with your mouse. The possibilities are jaw-dropping, but the 'draw your own' matrix boxes keep things very manageable, especially with their quantise options for easily making some frequency-band delays multiples of others using the snap-to-grid option, and the external temp sync options. Spektral Delay is loved by its many users and is incredibly versatile, although sadly it's let down by one of the most confusing preset management systems ever devised. Capable of morphing, spectral filtering, panning, and delays, Izotope's Spectron is another spectral tour de force with great potential.Darrell Tam's Block FX (DtBlkFx) is a plug-in with a colourful graphic display featuring two spectrograms to let you see how your signals are being altered in the spectral domain, and with up to four effect slots into which you can insert any combination of 29 spectral treatments chosen from the drop-down list. The effects include a radical EQ, spectral compander and clipper, mirror (swapping frequency bands), resampling over a +/-3 octave range, four pitch shifters, two harmonic pitch shifters, two comb filters, five that change the harmonic envelope in various pre-defined ways, six masks that let you apply other effects to the harmonics of a particular note, a vocoder, and two harmonic matching vocoders. The scope for radical transformations is vast, and if this plug-in had a more sophisticated graphic interface it could sell for serious money, so snap it up while it's still freeware!
Izotope's Spectron has an elegant, sophisticated graphic interface offering real-time spectrum analysis, and comprises four series-connected spectral modules, plus a more traditional 'Smear' section featuring four 'analogue' modulated delays for phase/flange/echo effects. I've already mentioned its very tweakable Morph module, and the other three are Filter, Pan and Delay, which all benefit from a clever system of four 'nodes' that you can drag to define frequency bands and create exotic pass-band shapes and harmonic series. These nodes can be further manipulated via advanced LFO and envelope modulation.
For those prepared to boldly go where no one has gone before, the 16-slot rack and 45 modules of Delaydots' Spectrumworx provide huge potential for effect transformations both subtle and extreme.You can use the Spectron modules to define different delays for frequency bands, move different parts of the spectrum to different positions and subject them to radical EQ treatments, all with real-time movement. Although the many supplied presets illustrate its sophisticated 'musical' potential, it's also capable of plenty of more outlandish effects that will appeal to spectral experimenters.
Finally we come to Delaydots' Spectrumworx, the most free-form offering of all. Its modular 'rack' interface provides no fewer than 16 effect slots, into which you can insert any combination of a staggering total of 45 modules. Some of the many treatments on offer include pitch-shifting, mathematical operators and vocoding, plus exotica such as spectral interpolation, phase vocoding, transient extraction and slew limiting, while many modules offer the option of morphing or otherwise combining the input signal in some way with a modulation sample. This free-form approach does have its disadvantages, since it's easy to stray towards the two extremes of anarchy and distortion or total silence, but loads of presets are included for the more casual user. However, you don't need to understand what each module does when creating your own presets: just explore and see what happens. Spectrumworx can transform an audio track in a multitude of ways, and moving just one of the module controls in real time can also often result in jaw-dropping transformations that you can automate using MIDI controllers. This plug-in won't be for everybody, and it would really benefit from some LFOs, but if you're after completely unique sounds it's the bee's knees! | 2019-04-21T08:29:37 | https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/exploring-pc-spectral-multi-band-plug-ins |

On 11 December 2008, CTA in partnership with the European Commission-DG Development and EuropeAid, the EU Presidency, the ACP Secretariat, Euforic, IPS Europe and Concord (European platform of development NGOs) organized the eighth Brussels Development Briefing, part of a series of discussion meetings on ACP-EU development issues. This briefing focused on the issue: “How does international migration affect ACP rural development?”.
Does migration promote development in ACP countries and what are the costs and benefits of migration? How cash remittances sent by Diaspora benefit home countries and what is their impact on rural development? Can migration be considered as a tool for development (notably for the achievement of the MDGs)? How can we ensure that migration of highly skilled workers (brain drain) benefits both destination and origin countries? How can skills and resources of returning or circulating immigrants be enhanced and used to support development efforts of their countries of origin?
Panel 2: Diasporas as agents of change and development partners?
Engaging diasporas in the development process can limit the costs of emigration and mitigate brain drain. Do the diaspora networks play a role in development policies? In which ways can they be strengthened to benefit development? What are possible multi-stakeholder partnerships and what role is there for public-private partnerships?
– What is the diaspora contribution to rural development and business development?
– What role for the diasporas, how are they organised? What are the benefits for the country of origin? | 2019-04-19T05:26:32 | https://brusselsbriefings.net/past-briefings/december-11-2008/ |

Tonight the Costa Mesa Parks and Recreation Commission, after hearing significant public input, denied the request from the Harbor Soaring Society to more than double the graded area they currently use as a "flying field" in Fairview Park. In a motion initiated by commissioner Ethan Temianka, the commissioners did approve the one-year extension of their permit and also requested that the City Council restructure the Fairview Park Citizens Advisory Committee. The vote passed, 4-0.
Sixteen speakers addressed the commission, the vast majority of which acknowledged that the Harbor Soaring Society is and has been a good neighbor, but they opposed the expansion of the flying field. Speakers favoring the expansion - all were fliers - were outnumbered 4 to 1.
All the speakers had passion for Fairview Park and expressed their views convincingly. Perhaps the most provocative speaker was former Mayor Sandra Genis, who read from a document purportedly from some source within City Hall requesting the Harbor Soaring Society, on its letterhead, advise the sender whether they were in a position to pay on some kind of annual payment schedule more than $127,000 that it would cost to expand and PAVE their flying area. That message tells me that there was very good reason to worry about this paving issue in the first place. The Harbor Soaring Society rejected that request out of hand, according to one speaker.
so the vernal pool paving apology is withdrawn? why?

OAKLAND — In what police said appears to be a case of road rage, a man was shot in East Oakland on Monday night after getting into an argument with the driver of a car who nearly backed into his vehicle.
The 23-year-old man was wounded in the lower part of his body and was in stable condition Tuesday.
The shooting happened about 6:41 p.m. Monday in the 1200 block of 58th Avenue.
Police said the 23-year-old man was driving when he saw another vehicle in the roadway that started to reverse toward him.
The man honked and stopped and both he and the driver of the other vehicle got out and began fighting, police said.
The driver of the other vehicle pulled a gun and shot the 23-year-old man before fleeing. The victim was taken to a hospital.
The suspect’s vehicle was recovered later, but police did not say where. No arrests have been made.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $5,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the gunman. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3426 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572. | 2019-04-19T22:14:03 | https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/07/04/apparent-road-rage-incident-leaves-man-shot-in-east-oakland/ |
The spirit then gave her a mantle, finer than any Brigid had ever seen, edged and embroidered in liquid orichalcum, which spelled out ten thousand wonders unknown to men. Quickly, the spirit set Brigid on her way.
The Mantle of Brigid is a millennia old silk cloth, threadbare and worn, that bears the images of a woman’s form. Many believe the woman in the image is Brigid, the Magic Bearer. Is it really the cloak that she was given in the East, or is it an elaborate forgery, a hoax prepared by some clever sorcerer-artist? Modern researchers have completed thousands of days of intense research on the mantle. In fact, it may be the single most studied artifact known to the Exalted. Yet, the controversy over its validity rages.
The Mantle is a seven-foot long, six-foot wide section of the finest scarlet silk, faded and worn with centuries of use and embroidered with hair-fine orichalcum thread. The image upon it is that of the silhouette of a woman. Believers in the mantle claim that the image could have only been made by the constant flow of Essence out of the wearer and through the cloth over the course of years. Investigators claim that the weaver of the silk is consistent with the weave of cloth fragments attributed to the era in which Brigid lived. Critics claim that the image is faked or the result of water damage and that there is no way to accurately match cloth weaves for cloth of that age. In addition, disbelievers state that even the finest silk could not have survived since the time of Brigid. Believers say that this just further supports their claims.
Currently owned by the Empress, the so-called Mantle of Brigid was her personal possession and a regular part of her wardrobe, at least when working magic. She certainly had good reasons to protect the mantle, if its history is to be believed. According to the tables, the artifact has survived earthquakes, fires and floods. Believers claim that the cloak will extend its resilience to its wearer and that the truly worthy wearer will gain, in addition, some small share of Brigid’s access to Essence. These claims have not been put to the test in modern era.
Note: With the Empress’s disappearance, this legendary artifact is now resting in her personal closet. Fortunately, no one knows about it. So this artifact simply sits there being dusted by servants on a regular basis but otherwise remain undisturbed.
It increases the Essence of any being wearing it by 5 in regards to Sorcery!!! Recalculate the character’s Personal and Peripheral Essence accordingly. These “extra” motes are available only when the character is wearing the mantle. Keep track of how many motes the character spends – they are subtracted from the character’s personal stores of power first.
If the mantle is removed after the magician has spent more Essence than her personal stores and not yet regenerated it, she takes an amount of bash damage equal to the difference. This damage can be soaked only with the character’s Stamina and cannot be reduced by armor, Charms, sorcery or any other effects.
Also, the mantle increases the wearer’s ability to work magic. Character who cannot perform sorcery such as mortals become able to work Terrestrial Circle Sorcery. Characters such as Dragon-Blooded, who can only perform Terrestrial Circle sorcery, become able to perform Celestial Circle sorcery. Characters such as Lunars and Sidereals Exalted, who can cast only Terrestrial and Celestial Circle spells, gains access to all 3 circles of magic. This benefit effect is somewhat diminished on Abyssal and Solar Exalted, both of which already have access to all three circles of magic, however, it overrides the limitation of studying both Standard magic and Necromancy. Allowing them to reach both Adamant Circle and Void Circle at the same time. | 2019-04-22T10:57:01 | http://exaltedpast.wikidot.com/artifact:brigidsmantle |
This is actually the middle of the day of Day 3. I'm not used to blogging so I made a mistake and forgot to put this into the last post!
While working on my blog and editing pictures, my sister and I received some refreshments from the management of the hotel :) Yaaaay, drinks and snacks! You can tell on my face that I'm super stoked.
We went on a bike ride around town in the afternoon. And we were waiting at the crossroad? cross rails? idk. My sister told me that cars get stuck in the middle of the rails a lot. Impatient drivers… sigh.
We rode by the river that leads to the ocean and enjoyed the view. It was such a serene view. It's crazy how a beautiful and peaceful river like this overflowed and destroyed so many people's lives last March. Just unbelievable.
Our bike ride was pretty awesome. It wasn't too hot, wasn't too humid. I don't ride bikes that often so this made me want to take on biking when I get back to Arizona. Just saying. But then again, as my friend Daniel Kim always said, I just look fit. I'm usually panting by the time I walk upstairs but maybe going on bike rides might be good exercise!
My grandpa once told me that seeing green makes your eyesight better. So I stared at this landscape for a while. This is a tanbo, a rice field! My last name, Katsuta, means Victory and Rice field. Victory in the rice field!!
This is a car repair shop. There were many cars being repaired, because of the tsunami. This side of the building interested me more than people repairing cars. Vines! I love it when plants take over man made stuff.
So after getting back to the hotel and resting for a bit, I saw the golden light coming from the window so I forcefully made Riho stand by it to take a picture of her. I love you Riho. | 2019-04-23T08:51:35 | http://www.airikatsuta.com/airi-katsuta/2012/08/11/day-3-middle-of-the-day |

As long as you keep chatting like that, the better players who are not chatting read your messages and strike at you any chance they can get.
If you are drinking alcohol and playing online poker at home, you might as well just give away you cash because you can not focus and stay committed to the plan when you are distracted.
Speaking of distractions, how could you spot a player tell when you are unable to focus yourself. When you are trying to squeeze i a game on your lunch break at work, texting friends while playing, or watching television and playing online poker, you are not going to see little opportunities to crush your opponent than.
Now you see why your bankroll keeps disappearing each week, even though you think you are playing better.

Italians are known to love food and they have a great tradition of fine food. In Italian culture, food is something of utmost importance. There are many reasons why food has become a central part of their culture. With the shape of their country running from north to south, the growing seasons in different parts vary and their soil types are also different. With products from each part of the country, they can get diverse food ingredients. Because they are surrounded by sea and other countries by land, they have plenty of seafood and they can also get ingredients from other countries that also have their own food tradition.
In Italian culture, food is a key element. Thus, food is the most important in Italian restaurants. But, a great Italian restaurant is not all about food. A great restaurant will also have great wine, a clean and elegant environment, and great service. This distinguishes a great Italian restaurant from a good one. A good Italian restaurant has good food but they may have a poor wine list, poor service and bad decorations.
A great Italian restaurant satisfies you. If you leave an Italian restaurant and you are still hungry, then you have gone to the wrong one. Even if the place is nice and the food is expensive, they don’t make a great one. There is no satisfaction if the restaurant serves morsel no matter how great looking or how expensive they are. But a great Italian restaurant will leave you full.
A great Italian restaurant has great service. The service is not overly friendly yet they are warm and professional. And when the waiter has served everything, he is nearly invisible and lets you enjoy your meal without disturbance. Their great service ensures that you enjoy your meal at great comfort.
You have great ambiance at a great Italian restaurant. They have a great atmosphere in their restaurants. Sometimes you cannot describe how you feel entering a great Italian restaurant; you feel the warmth and the glow of the place.
If you find an Italian restaurant with great food, great service and great ambiance, then you have found a great Italian restaurant. One great Italian restaurant is Trento restaurant. If you happen to be in Farmingdale, NY, then you should try this great Italian restaurant with their great menu, great service, and great ambiance. To check out their menu and other services they offer, check out their website at trento110.com. | 2019-04-20T05:09:19 | http://educationcheapest.us/2018/05/05/6-facts-about-foods-everyone-thinks-are-true/ |

This trip to the park was going to be different. I'm still getting used to them being open in December and you don't expect 70 degree weather this time of year and being able to wear shorts and a t-shirt knowing you are going to be spending hours outside walking around a park. This was also my 25th trip to the park this year, breaking my old record of 24 from 2013.
The lot wasn't very crowded at opening and I expected that to change. First was Green Lantern with a 2 train wait for a middle row and then Superman with the same wait for the last row.
Sky Screamer had a 1 cycle wait and although it's more fun to ride at night to see all the lights, I thought it would probably have too long of a line later which turned out to be correct as I heard it was an hour wait around 5:30.
Batman was next again with a 2 train wait and then it was time for a lot of Nitro rides. I knew I had to ride the coaster at least 6 times so I could get my 500th total Nitro ride. Wait times varied from a few minutes to 10 minutes even with the line past that covered part of the queue that goes under the track. They were dispatching trains so fast that they often had to wait until the other train was far enough along the track to dispatch the other train.
In 2007 when I first rode Nitro, I didn't know at the time I would be getting a season pass the next year and getting the park so often and I'm glad to say that such a great ride is my most ridden coaster. After that I rode Nitro once more.
Going up the lift hill on my final Nitro ride of the day, I looked at the parking lot and saw not only was there a lot of cars waiting to get to the parking booths, there was also all the cars trying to merge into a few lanes after the parking booths to get into the lot and that line was barely moving. In the lot, it looked like the preferred parking entrance had a long line of cars waiting to get in as well.
By now lines were starting to pick up. Nitro's line was up to the 60 minute sign and I went to Skull Mountain with about a 20 minute wait for the last row. With El Toro closed, that first drop in the last row is probably the best air time in the park right now.
On the way to The Dark Knight I looked around at the some of the other rides. The Big Wheel had a half full queue, Sky Screamer was almost to the final switchback section and Deja Vu had a full queue. The Dark Knight was only around 15 minutes including the wait to get into the pre-show.
After The Dark Knight I knew it was probably going to be too crowded to ride anything else. Lines had even gotten worse in that short amount of time. The Big Wheel now had about a 2/3 full queue, Deja Vu's line was into a temporary overflow queue and Sky Screamer had almost a full queue. Even Air Jumbo that I have never seen with any kind of wait had almost a full queue.
I was going to try to use my dining pass to get dinner except the lines were probably going to be an hour long so I decided it wasn't worth waiting. It was the same with the lines to use the dining pass for a snack. Most places I walked by appeared to be out of items like the popcorn bag and soft pretzels and lines were very long, even the snack stand by Houdini had a temporary rope queue setup.
Leaving the park there were a lot of people still waiting to buy tickets and go through security. Walking through the parking lot there were more people going towards the entrance than I have ever seen before. Anyone trying to get out of the preferred parking lot was going to have trouble because there were just so many people walking in that area.
When I was walking to the car, I looked at Green Lantern's line from the parking lot and it appeared to be around 30 minutes which didn't seem that bad with how crowded the park was and with 1 train running.
Even with the crowds at the end of the trip, it was still a very nice day at the park. | 2019-04-23T22:28:24 | http://www.gadv.com/forums/topic/19626-121215/ |
It’s been a quiet few months on here which usually means I’ve been very busy since my last post, and I confidentally say that is true.
The end of my second year was pretty hectic, especially around the time of Light and Building which happened to fall on the last weekend before a few of my biggest deadlines.
Since then, I worked in Edinburgh for a couple of months at Mike Stoane Lighting for a short placement, visited my sister in Germany, celebrated many birthdays including my 21st, moved to central London and started my placement – which leads me onto this post.
I am currently working for a bespoke lighting design company called Nulty Bespoke as their product design intern. As part of our ongoing research for inspiration, visits to exhibitions and shows are common, especially when they’re located minutes away from the office.
Southbank are currently showing an exhibition called “Space Shifters” which is on until January and it’s worth going if you’re interested in dynamic sculptures and mind-games. See the link at the end of this post to head over to the web page for the show.
Each work is carefully designed and positioned to make you think you’re seeing something false or disconnected.
The use of warped, reflective and mirrored materials creates a strong feeling of disorientation.
The end of the exhibition is topped off by an installation by Richard Wilson which really was quite something. This is a perfect example of the whole “the photos don’t do it justice” due to the strong smell, silence and even temperature which is part of the experience.
Made to look like a drop down on the sides of the walkway, or used as a reflection of above, the unique material has been carefully chosen and installed to create a rather uneasy feeling. And no, I won’t say what material it is.
This vast space only allows one person to use the walkway at a time due to the path being so narrow, making it a very immersive experience.
I’d really love to go and see more shows over the course of the year especially after having worked at Decorex as part of the LDF for work. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to go to more shows and share some of my favourite parts on this blog. | 2019-04-19T18:57:31 | https://katiepricedesign.com/2018/11/11/space-shifters-an-abstraction-of-down-the-rabbit-hole/ |

Enforcing a no (pot) smoking policy becomes a joint effort (pun intended) between the board and management. When reasonable measures taken to remedy the problem prove fruitless — such as having the management agent send a letter to the offenders or meeting with them — legal action may be necessary to protect the rights of other residents. Some FGC members would agree that the following abbreviated clause taken from our own occupancy agreement addresses this. “The Member shall not permit anything to be done … which will … interfere with the rights of other occupants.” That includes being able to breathe inside our unit without getting a contact high. That attempt to inject a bit of humor may have fallen flat, but seriously the issue isn’t funny.
From this layperson’s perspective, there is a quandary for landlords and property owners in the District of Columbia: Despite the fact that people may legally use marijuana in DC, such use remains a crime under federal law. Go figure.
Although it seems that in landlord/tenant court the scales of justice often lean heavily toward the tenant, DC landlords who decide to prohibit the use of marijuana on their property should ensure that their governing documents contain provisions that state that the property will maintain a drug-free/smoke-free dwelling. And while there is no guarantee that inclusion of such a provision will balance the scales in the courtroom, there is a chance that it could give property owners a leg-up. One exception — District of Columbia Housing Authorities (DCHA) properties do not have to deal with this matter. The use, sale, or possession of marijuana remains illegal on their sites.
One last thing. Property owners housing known potheads — take heed. There are only a few short weeks before April 20, the day that potheads around the country will dance with Mary Jane as they observe National Weed Day or 420. Set-up those exhaust fans. | 2019-04-25T12:14:39 | https://fgcmembers.com/2016/03/20/a-joint-effort/ |
Ashley & Brandon's wedding was so pretty that it was impossible for me to narrow my favorites down to fit in one blog post. If you missed Part One, go check those out first!
I had pulled these three away from the reception to take a few family photos. When we finished, Brandon started throwing Camdyn into the air. And I mean...throwing her into the air. And she LOVED it. Ashley stood by with this there-he-goes-again look on her face. I heard a hush fall over the reception & turned around to see everybody staring with their jaws on the floor. Ashley shrugged & announced, "The minute she was able to hold her head up on her own he started throwing her. I just trust that he's always going to catch her!"
...& the girls totally won. Whoop!
The two families turned Brandon's childhood home into the perfect backdrop for a bbq reception.
All that time flying through the air has made Camdyn fearless. When she wanted to be in grandma's arms she took off!
Ashley & Brandon are the type of people to think of everybody & produced a birthday cake for one of their guests who promptly cut her little cake into small pieces to share with everyone.
As the sun set, their backyard turned into a magical place burning bright with hundreds of Christmas lights. | 2019-04-18T22:20:20 | https://www.dreamyelk.com/blog/ashley-brandon-wedding-royalty-pecan-farms-part-two |

It all started with the realization that non-profit organizations need a specific kind of consulting. With this idea in mind, Rudi Piwko founded SOCIUS in 1998 as a non-profit corporation supported by the legendary inventor, Prof. Artur Fischer. In this initial stage, practical tasks such as fundraising and public relations were the main focus. With the help of the Theodor Heuss Foundation (Hildegard Hamm-Brücher), the Robert Bosch Foundation and Stiftung Mitarbeit, SOCIUS undertook its first consulting projects in Germany and Eastern Europe.
As our team expanded – Christian Baier and Andreas Knoth joined in 2002, and Nicola Kriesel and Kerstin Engelhardt in 2005 – we were able to extend our services to include more process-oriented topics such as team development and mediation. In 2009, our legal status was adjusted to reflect our expanding structure; all our consultants became co-owners of the non-profit limited liability company (gGmbH). This increased stability fuelled the idea of initiating SOCIUS spin-offs under the umbrella of the newly established legal form, the SOCIUS cooperative. Hence, in 2010 new branches were founded in Hamburg, Cologne and Munich.
However, after three years, we concluded that this ambitious plan had overstrained our capacities and that the key element of our collective efforts – personal relationships and exchange – could not be scaled up indefinitely. Whilst we maintain professionally connected to our colleagues across Germany, we have now shifted our focus to the sustainable organic growth of our Berlin team. Since 2005, SOCIUS has provided trainees and interns with a professional home and learning space, and this will continue for the foreseeable future.
In 2010, Ralph Piotrowski, Joana Ebbinghaus and Britta Loschke joined the team bringing with them additional competencies and new perspectives. At the same time, a generation change took place as Andreas Knoth and Christian Baier became the new managers of SOCIUS, taking over from founder Rudi Piwko. This development, like most of the processes we support, required a mixture of respect for history and an orientation towards the capacity to act within new structures. The SOCIUS cooperative, as a political model of equal co-determination, constitutes the main compass and framework for the internal development of our cooperation. It provides scope for further development from the pioneering phase towards a model in which all stake-holders jointly assume responsibility and define their roles.
In slow ‘organic’ cycles, SOCIUS has developed into a robust and consistent organization without losing any of its dynamism or agility. A mix of public tenders, self-initiated development processes, active acquisitions, as well as both tailor-made and open-entry training courses have ensured a healthy balance of work, both in terms of content and financial stability.
Our changes in location have also reflected our organization’s growth. So far, we have moved to new premises every eight years: our first office in Charlottenburg was 70sqm (1998-2006). We doubled our office space when we moved across the street in 2014. Now, we breathe life into a spacious 220sqm of centrally located office space next to the Landwehr canal in Kreuzberg. Our seminar rooms and lounge with a wood-burning stove provide an inspiring ambience for professional exchange and social encounters.
We have a continuing ‘desire for development’ and wish to expand moderately by incorporating two or three new colleagues and exploring new working forms and fields. In addition, SOCIUS regularly offers trainee positions. Our current trainee, Simon Mohn, complements our team through his endeavors to experiment with different media and means of presentation.

The gas tax is broken, and you can thank members of Congress for that. Lawmakers have refused to raise or modernize the tax for 20 years, hobbling its revenue capacity and leaving the Highway Trust Fund badly underfunded.
That sin of omission, while serious, is only part of the story. Congress broke the tax quite deliberately in the 1990s, when deficit hawks tried to transform it from a user fee to a deficit reduction tool. The experiment was short-lived, and lawmakers eventually repaired the link between gas taxes and road building. But the damage was done, and we're still paying the price.
Reforming the gas tax won't be easy, given the political toxicity of raising any tax, and especially one felt so keenly by consumers. But some sort of change is necessary, if only to keep the nation's bridges from falling down.
The inadequacy of the gas tax stems from two factors. First, and most importantly, construction costs have continued to rise with inflation. Since the tax was last raised, the cost of building roads has risen 55 percent, according to The Wall Street Journal.2 Second, improvements in vehicle fuel efficiency have allowed consumers to drive more miles on less gas -- great for the wallet but not so good for road funding.
To make matters worse, lawmakers and lobbyists have asked a lot of the gas tax. "Over time the gasoline tax has come to represent more than just a funding mechanism for infrastructure," wrote law professor David Herzig in a recent Tax Notes piece. "It has acted as an environmental tax, a general revenue raiser, and a spur of economic growth through a well-developed infrastructure."3 That broad mandate has weakened the tax, at least in political terms. Sometimes a tax that does too much ends up doing nothing well. That's especially true of excise taxes, which usually depend on narrow and specific justifications for their existence.
But poll data leave a key question unanswered: Why do Americans so dislike a tax that was once relatively well tolerated and uncontroversial? There are many possible answers, including long-term increases in gasoline prices -- and long-term stagnation in lower- and middle-class incomes.
Part of the explanation for the gas tax's unpopularity lies in congressional efforts to use the tax for something other than infrastructure. When lawmakers tried to use the tax for deficit reduction, they broke with its history -- and broke the tax in the process.
But the middle 1950s brought major change to the gas tax. In 1956, as part of the Federal Highway Act, Congress raised the tax to 3 cents per gallon and used it to fund the new Highway Trust Fund.20 Both the tax and the trust fund were initially designed to be temporary, albeit fairly long-lived, but Congress repeatedly extended both in the decades that followed.
To be sure, the gas tax required some fine-tuning over the years.22 But it remained essentially intact until Congress made another grab for the cash. In 1990 lawmakers approved an increase in the federal gas tax but allotted only half of the new revenue to construction projects. The other half was dedicated to deficit reduction. In 1993 Congress approved another gas tax increase and again devoted additional revenue to deficit reduction.
By 1997, Congress was done with that experiment, and lawmakers redirected all gas tax revenues back to the Highway Trust Fund. But the damage was done. Long justified as a user fee, the tax had been successful and relatively uncontroversial. But in the wake of the 1990 experiment, it became less successful in keeping the Highway Trust Fund afloat and more unpopular.
The causal connection is uncertain, of course, but the correlation is hard to ignore. It's also hard to ignore the timing of the gas tax's stagnation: The last increase came in the midst of the 1990s revenue grab. Lawmakers have been unwilling to raise or modernize it ever since.
When Congress severed the link between the gas tax and infrastructure, it broke the tax itself. The levy worked best when it did a single thing and did it well. As a user fee, the gas tax was easily understood and widely tolerated. But once redefined as a tool to shrink the deficit, it attracted the same antitax animus that Americans direct at all federal levies.
Maybe the unpopularity is worth it; maybe the deficit is a bigger problem than chronic trust fund shortfalls. But ultimately, the gas tax won't save us from fiscal ruin (assuming, for the sake of argument, that ruin is in the cards). It makes no sense to undermine the levy's functionality as a user fee for the sake of making a relatively modest contribution to deficit reduction.
That's not exactly a controversial position; while some fiscal hawks still hope to use the gas tax to balance the government's books, most recent talk of reform has focused on restoring the tax as a useful funding source for infrastructure.
It's long past time to fix the gas tax. But once Congress gets the levy working again, lawmakers should keep their hands off it. The tax has suffered, in Herzig's words, because it's been used to advance "many, disparate social goals," including deficit reduction, infrastructure building, traffic alleviation, and environmental improvement.
The impulse to leverage a well-functioning tax is understandable. But it's also destructive. Congress should let the gas tax do one thing well, rather than many things poorly.

Today I’m sharing one day from our trip to Pigeon Forge, TN. We started off our day with breakfast at the Old Mill Restaurant. We ate here twice during our trip and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Pigeon Forge. Then, we headed to Elkmont!
The portions are large so you may want to share. The only thing I didn’t like were the grits. They needed a lot of salt and butter to be edible. But everything else was delicious.
Our next stop was Elkmont. Let me point out that I have a fascination with places that are deserted and ghost towns in general. I’m so curious to see what people left behind and explore what life may have been like for them. I don’t get a lot of opportunity to explore in my every day life so I really enjoy visiting places like Elkmont.
Knoxville’s elite spent their summers at Elkmont in the early 19th century. It was purchased by the government and became part of the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in the 1920s. Some residents received a 50 year lease as part of the agreement to sell their land/homes. According to what I’ve read, most the leases expired by 1992 and the government intends to demolish or “return to nature” all of the homes except 19 structures which were to be preserved.
All of the homes are owned by the government and have no trespassing signs posted. However, we only saw one home in the entire park that was locked and most had their doors standing wide open. So I was able to get a few pictures of the inside from the doorway. I will say that we saw a lot of people going into them though.
We loved walking from home to home and exploring each yard.
Can you imagine how much work it took to build these little fences and steps without modern tools?
The cabin behind us in this picture is one of the oldest in Elkmont. It was moved here from another location and the owners used it as a guest house.
Next, we visited another area of Elkmont is known as “Millionaire’s Row.” This is the Spence Cabin and was the only home we saw that was locked. I was totally swooning over the cobblestone entryway.
The backside of the cabin overlooked the river and had a beautiful terrace. I wonder if they hosted parties out there or had tea or fished or just sat and listened to the river.
We used it for a little photo opportunity!
My main little man couldn’t resist climbing down below the terrace to dip his feet in the river.
We explored a few more houses on Millionaire’s Row. I loved this one! The floor was completely rotten and I wouldn’t dare step foot in it. I managed to get these pictures from the doorway. I wish I could have seen the rest of the house.
When we left Elkmont, we decided to do a spur of the moment hike to Spruce Flatts Falls. They weren’t too far from Elkmont. The lady at the ranger station said it was a strenuous hike and not stroller friendly. So sweet baby hopped on my back and we took off up the steep trail. Oh, did I mention it started to rain as we left? My legs were burning less than 60 seconds into the hike.
The park ranger was right. The trail was steep and sometimes less than 18 inches wide with rocks on one side and a cliff on the other. This was not the place to trek with 5 kids (+ 1 on the way) and Granna. I tried to think of things we had done that were dumber than this little hike and couldn’t come up with a single thing. All I could picture was one of the kids pulling away and falling off the edge of that cliff.
We hiked for what seemed like 45 minutes and finally made it to an opening. Notice our feet in the picture below. We are standing a foot from a 50 foot drop off. Shortly after this, we met a couple on their way back. They indicated that we weren’t even half way there. Morale was low and we decided it best to turn back around and skip the falls on this trip. We definitely got plenty of adventure though!
That was quite enough adventure for one day!
With the exception of Daisy Town and the Pink House, many of these buildings at Elkmont have been demolished by the National Park Service since this post was published. While I understand the concern for safety of visitors and funding constraints, I can’t help but feel extremely sad at the loss of these time capsules that let us glimpse into the past. I am happy to have preserved a small piece of Elkmont here on the blog and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit.
This is a free activity! Who doesn’t love free?
Pack a cooler. It was so nice to have a cold drink and snack waiting for us after a hike! I did not see anywhere to buy food or drinks at Elkmont although there is a small campground.
We saw several people fishing or carrying fishing gear in the Millionaire’s Row area, if that interests you.
There is a bathroom in the Daisy Town area so plan strategically.
There are too many structures to visit on one trip. We hiked to the Wonderland Hotel and to the cemetery on our last visit. A search for Elkmont in google images can help you pick and choose which ones you want to visit.
Most of the paths and trails were okay for a stroller although the ride may have been a little bumpy for my little one.
See my other posts on the Great Smokey Mountains!
The Elkmont campground is our absolute favorite in the Smokies, but we’ve never toured this area. We’ll be adding it to our list on the next trip!
We have never camped at Elkmont but they have no hookups for water, sewer or electric. Generators can only be used from 8am to 8pm. Toilets are available . No bathhouses and only cold water. | 2019-04-25T22:54:23 | https://lifeonthebaybushblog.com/2016/08/elkmont-great-smokey-mountains-national-park.html |

Odd relationships abound among the wonders of Nature. Just as men keep cows, some ants herd aphids. The bee pays Nature for its food by pollinating the flower. One symbiotic relationship that concerns foresters is the coupling of tree roots with certain fungi to form compound structures, part tree root and part fungus mycelium, which we call mycorrhizae.

Houston finally has the funding in place to work toward its vision for a bike-friendly city.
"Harris County Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis on Monday announced a one-year $10 million commitment to bicycling projects in Houston," reports Dug Begley.
The big infusion of cash will help Houston finally make substantial strides toward enacting the projects and goals laid out by the city's 2017 bike plan.
"Officials estimated the money would build at least 50 miles of protected bike lanes considered crucial to providing usable bike access to neighborhoods and jobs," according to Begley. The city has also set aside $1.1 million to spend in each of the next five years. Upcoming projects include "planned bike lanes along Austin and Caroline and new space for cyclists along Hardy and Elysian on the city’s Near Northside." | 2019-04-18T22:30:53 | https://www.planetizen.com/news/2018/04/98283-houston-bike-plan-gets-funding-it-needed |

As you may have noticed recently, the number of blog posts on M2JL STUDIO and Modern Ottawa has decreased significantly over the past few months. That’s because I’m starting a new chapter and embarking on a new and more creative adventure that involves drawing, painting, sketching and more. It’s something that I’ve been putting off for a long time but now it’s time for me to just make the jump, fully immerse myself in it and see where this takes me.
I also want to thank you for your time and your comments. It’s been fun and enlightening. I certainly learned a lot and I hope you did too. I look forward to bring what I learnt thus far to this new venture and make it even better. | 2019-04-21T12:43:20 | http://m2jlstudio.blogspot.com/ |

Her sour sojourn was sweet with rye. As the stammer of touch unfolded. In bent syringes and shattered medicine vials. The valve confessed. It had kept nothing out. She reluctantly admitted to liking that.
The pedestal buckling under the weight of her stare. As she asked him. What it meant.
The dirty paper stabbed under the point of her pencil writhing for colors. She contemplates the forest. Forgetting the trees. She says it's nothing. And it is.
Wilted flowers on the patio where she steps. Yawn the sun in dismal coughs. She chokes down the medicine. And waits. Too long for it to take effect.
She wakes the monsters. Everything is relative. She wakes the monsters and hopes for the best. | 2019-04-25T15:42:54 | http://www.alcoholicpoet.com/2009/08/deciduous.html |
“The above text (Eph. 1:4-6) also employs the word ‘predestined’ (vs. 5) to make the point that our adoption (placement) was always foremost in God’s thoughts. The heavenly Father’s ‘first-thought’ (not his afterthought) was to adopt the yet uncreated humanity that he intended to bring into the (as yet) uncreated world. In other words, you and i had already been divinely adopted in the mind of God even before he created the universe with its light, space, time, matter, earth, vegetation, animals or the first man and woman.
“Some struggle with the concept of predestination, saying, ‘How is it possible for God to adopt all of unborn humanity even before he created our first parents, Adam and Eve?’ Or they say, ‘ How is it possible for God to declare something to be a done-deal before the existence of another thing necessary to make it happen?’ Well, for God it’s easy! He declared (‘made’) Abraham ‘a father of many nations’ even before Abraham had become the father of Isaac, the child of promise (Genesis 17:5-6). Let us remember; he is the God who ‘calls things that are not as though they [already] were.'” (see Romans 4:17) endquote.
The writer of Hebrews urges us to “labor to enter into His rest” (Hebrews 4:10) that we do not fall short in unbelief as did Israel. Our greatest struggle, our greatest work, so to speak, is to cease from our own works and BELIEVE we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:8-10) I wrote an article entitled “The Greatest Christian Sin: Unbelief.” It seems, we, Christians, have the very same problem Israel had coming out of slavery. They didn’t really trust God could deliver them. They are an example for us? Do we REALLY believe these Scriptures?
God, speaking to Jeremiah said, “Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you…” (Jer 1:4-5, MSG). Dear precious reader, in the light of the above Scriptures, can you see…can you believe…God has holy plans for you? Do you believe God has the power, will and foresight to carry out those Holy plans He predestined and purposed for your life?
An excellent word! It doesn’t leave any doubt about God’s purpose for His creation, and He is not only well able to carry out His purpose; but He will carry it out. If it is not fulfilled in and by Jesus, His death will have been in vain.
Thanks for sharing this message, this is good food for thought.
I feel that fear, doubt and disbelief are the three things that are causing us grief. | 2019-04-24T10:35:01 | https://lovewins.us/977/holy-and-blameless-in-his-sight/ |
A determined schoolgirl from Nottinghamshire has battled adversity and is working hard to earn her place as one of the top young figure-skaters in the UK – and now she’s a step closer to her dream thanks to a sponsorship deal.
Hucknall teenager Sian Bettridge instantly fell in love with the sport after watching Torvill and Dean on TV’s 'Dancing On Ice' at the age of eight. Since then she has fought her way into the prestigious NIC Skate Academy – based at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham – and finished 15th in her first ever appearance at the British Championships last year.
Now the 14-year-old Holgate Academy pupil’s quest to compete at international level has received a major boost after an appeal to Taylor Wimpey East Midlands resulted in the £4,000 sponsorship deal.
The money will be used to pay for boots, competition costumes and all-important private tuition which Sian’s mum, Amanda, and dad, Craig, hope will help her fulfil her potential as a figure-skating star of the future.
“Ever since she saw Torvill and Dean on the television Sian’s been in love with skating,” says Amanda.
Sian’s rigorous training regime involves hitting the ice six days a week, with one or two hours’ training before school, the same again after school, private lessons at least twice a week and more training every Saturday – and so far she’s proving that hard work pays off.
“Once Sian decided that figure skating was something she wanted to do seriously, she’s never looked back,” says Amanda.
“She applied to get into the Skate Academy five times before she was successful, and each time she was rejected only made her even more determined to improve.
“Last year she went to the British Championships for the first time and finished 15th, and now she wants to qualify for this year’s finals in the hope she can do even better. After that, it’s her dream to compete at international level and go as far as her ability will take her.
“What she’s achieved so far has been down to her own focus and determination, but we’re also lucky enough to have a very supportive family who do what they can to help out, and Sian’s school have been extremely supportive as well.
We are currently building new homes at our Kings Acre and The Brambles developments in Nottinghamshire. | 2019-04-25T17:49:04 | https://www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/media-centre/news/schools-and-community/figure-skater-sian-aims-for-glory |
Maria's Space: Are You Financially Prepared For A Family Health Crisis?
Are You Financially Prepared For A Family Health Crisis?
Americans are living longer, which means more time with the grandchildren, more time to travel to those places you didn’t see when you were younger and more time to devote to leaving your mark on the world.
But a longer life expectancy also comes with problems.
At least 70 percent of Americans will eventually watch as an aging loved one’s life is taken over by a growing list of impairments that could mean there’s a need for long-term care. And many family members will be unprepared both financially and emotionally to make decisions about what’s best for that person they care about so much.
Can you recognize the need for care? The first step in providing long-term care is identifying that a loved one needs the care. “Sometimes this can sneak up on you slowly or it can happen overnight,” Orestis says. Some of the telltale signs include cognitive impairment, such as forgetfulness or confusion; a house that is not as tidy or organized as it once was, or has objects in odd places; and physical deterioration, such as marked weakness, loss of strength and stamina, difficulty balancing or drastic weight loss.
Do you know what the right kind of care is? There are four types of long-term care. Home health care allows someone to remain in their own home while receiving care by licensed or unlicensed workers, as well as designated family members. Assisted living is housing for someone unable to live independently, but who just needs mid-level custodial care, medication support, lifestyle activities, transportation and meals. Nursing homes are for those who need higher level skilled care. Finally, hospice care is for people in the final six months of life.
Are you prepared to pay for it? The cost of long-term care can devastate a family’s finances, Orestis says. The annual cost of nursing home care, for example, is more than $80,000. Generally, there are three options for paying for long-term care: tapping into retirement savings, buying long-term care insurance, or relying on Medicaid and Medicare. | 2019-04-25T10:03:55 | https://www.mariasspace.com/2017/09/are-you-financially-prepared-for-family.html |

"As one of the leaders in developing SAS, Maxtor is pleased to be well into the qualification process with key customers and is preparing to begin shipping Atlas SAS drives next quarter," said Brendan Collins, vice president of marketing, core products at Maxtor.
SAS is the next generation of the SCSI interface, developed to improve storage system performance, scalability, and availability and extend the capabilities of today’s parallel SCSI disk drives. One of the most significant benefits of SAS technology is that the SAS system architecture allows 10 000rpm and 15 000rpm drives to be integrated with Serial ATA (SATA) drives in the same enclosure. This capability, which Maxtor calls Serial in a Box, provides flexibility and scalability. SAS enclosures can serve as universal building blocks for constructing a data center’s storage infrastructure to meet nearline, midline, and online data requirements.
SAS supports transfer rate of up to 300Mb/s and multiple capabilities required in the enterprise world, such as hot plug capability. SAS drives also feature two data connectors to provide two data ports to the HDD.
While numerous companies pin a lot of hopes on SAS as on the descendant of SCSI, several companies, including HDD maker Wester Digital, express doubts about the technology’s ability to become popular.
The Atlas 15K II SAS drive features capacities of 36, 73 and 147GB and a 15 000rpm rotational speed. The drive offers a maximum sustained transfer rate of 98MB/s and average seek times as fast as 3.0ms. The drive is claimed to be the fastest in the world, according to the media.
The Atlas 10K V SAS drive features capacities of 73, 147 and 300GB and a 10 000rpm rotational speed. The drive offers a maximum sustained transfer rate of 89MB/sec and average seek times as fast as 4.0ms. Both the Atlas 15K II and Atlas 10K V drives include a 16MB cache and are designed to the specification of 1.4 million hours MTTF.
"Maxtor maintains its commitment to delivering a complete line of 10,000 and 15,000 RPM, 3.5-inch enterprise-class drives with Ultra320 SCSI and SAS interfaces to support customers' current and future system designs," Collins said. | 2019-04-24T23:48:57 | http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/f22/computer-makers-maxtor-s-qualify-serial-attached-scsi-hdds-13699/ |

On their new show, “For Peete’s Sake” actress Holly Robinson Peete and her husband Rodney had to have an important conversation with their son RJ about staying out late. While most parents with teenagers have had a similar discussion about curfew, this conversation also included what their son should and shouldn’t do if he’s ever pulled over by the police.
Despite being 18, Holly shares that RJ still has an “innocence” about him having been diagnosed with autism at the age of 3.
“What would happen if the cops pulled you over and they said, ‘Put your hands up!’” Holly asks.
“I do everything. I say, ‘Yes, sir. No, sir,’” RJ responds.
“They will shoot you?” RJ guesses. Holly pauses. “It’s a little more complicated than that,” she says.

Thank you so much for setting up our golf trip. I believe this is our 11th year of coming to Myrtle Beach. I'm so happy that I found your web site. It's made our planning efforts seamless. The accommodations, the courses, and the perks are just the right combination for us. Breakfast, lunch, and the steak dinner at Logan's was the non-golf highlight for us all. Of course the perfect weather this year just topped off a perfect trip. Thanks again, and we'll call early next year for 2018's trip.
Just wanted to thank you for a great time. Everything was better than advertised. Thanks again.
That was one of the best trips of my life. Unbelievable. Awesome job setting us up. Definitely will going back and will be contacting you again. Thanks!
Firstly I want to thank you for everything. We had a great time there last week. It was our first Myrtle Beach trip and we will definitely be back. I will say it took half a round to get used to your grass! Very different than our Jersey grass.
Just wanted to take time to thank you for one of the better packages we have ever had. This trip was a memorial to my dad, who passed away in February, and was a very avid golfer. The group included his brothers, sons and numerous friends. To the man there was only praise for the Villas, the hospitality and helpfulness of staff at all three golf courses, the meals and of course the golf (not to mention the beers). My two brothers and I took many package golf trips to Myrtle Beach with Dad and know he would have thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Once again THANK YOU and know I will be booking with you again next year.
We played Both Man O' War and the Wizard on July 20-21. It was our first time to Myrtle Beach and wanted to give these courses a try. We are from Nashville and these were by far two of the best courses we ever played. Both courses were in phenomenal shape. The staff at both course were so generous and made sure we were taken care of. We liked the Man O' War a little better, but the greens on the Wizard were in better shape because people were not courteous enough to fix their ball marks on the greens. It is a must play if you are in the area.
Just wanted to drop you a line about the golf trip. Everything went pretty well mostly. Everyone at the golf courses were a pleasure to deal with. The golf itself was enjoyable but tough, which we liked. I made a mistake on Friday and went to the wrong course and they were very easy to work with in changing them around and making sure we were taken care of. Overall I would rate everything a 9 out of 10. We did enjoy our vacation and do appreciate everything that you did to help us with it. We enjoyed the condo and really enjoyed the golf courses with this package.
Great time! First let me say we had an awesome time at this years golf outing. I can't say enough about how impressed I was with how smooth everything ran. Randy played a HUGE part in that and I would like to personally thank him for all he did.
I played the Witch yesterday for the first time. I live almost within walking distance and have for 12 years, but have never played the course. Well I enjoyed the staff, and the course. I was treated courteously, and the course is one of the most unique I have played from here to Japan. I will be back - I loved the course design, it rewards good shots and challenges you to think. One of the best golfing days of my life, and I've played since I was 8 years old. I am now 66. Thanks for a great day! | 2019-04-22T10:09:36 | http://mysticalgolf.com/deals.php |
We are looking to purchase a CNC router for cutting model board, styrofoam, wood, MDF and perhaps plastic. Primarily we want to cut female tools from Polyurethane model board (Renishape, Ureol etc) so that we can make GRP and Carbon parts. We have a fair bit of work coming up that will mean we will need to cut GRP female mould tools from Ureol model board or mdf. We could farm it out but the amount we will need to do means we could be better off investing in our own machine. Don't really have a budget as yet but would ideally be looking to spend no more than say 12k. I'm guessing a 4ft x 4ft by say 400mm would do for the sort of work we will be doing (mostly bike panels). As well as creating female mould tools for GRP parts we will also cut model parts for things like engine casings or headlight reflectors. Obviously we could make tools in sections and dowel and pin them together so make parts that are larger than the bed size.
I am looking for any help or advice that you can offer.
Hi, wellcome to the site. I do not think you will find a machine with the Z travel that you require within your budget, but I am sure you can build a machine to suit.
soft materials the high Z should be ok. - Just my opinion. G.
Many thanks for the speedy reply. We don't really have the time or expertise to build one, what do you think we should expect to pay? What companies should we be looking at? We would also be looking for training on how to use the machine? What about if that Z was reduced to say 300mm?
Mark, most of the members of this forum are interested in diy machine builds, and many of them have had little or no experience prior to their builds. If you read the build logs you will realize what I mean, and see that with some help and guidance people usually end up with a machine to suit their needs. If you have a decent sized workshop and a good 3 phase supply you should be able to find an older commercial machine within your budget that would suit, although it would probably have a 2400mm bed.
It is possible that one of our most experienced members would be prepared to design and build a machine for you. G.
I don’t mind the idea of buying a second user machine, but we are looking to buy through an asset finance company because it is more tax efficient than buying outright. We are also after training support so we really need to buy from a reputable company ideally in the UK who know the product and can help us out when we get stuck.
In November last year we ordered an EMACH CNC Router Model EM Roto 600 from a chap called Leigh Tricklebank at EMACH International Limited. We were told it was an Ex Demo model and we were quoted £12,000.00. I went down to Walsall to see the chassis being built, it was all very convincing. It had a 2000mm x 600mm Working Area, a 250mm Working Height (across the 600mm width) with a 4KW Electro Spindle, Pneumatic Material Clamps, 10M/Min Axis Speed, and quoted 0.2mm Axis Repeatability 0.05 Programming Accuracy. Emach’s quote included delivery to us up here in the North East, ½ Day Installation, included 1 Day Training and a seat of ‘Delcam artcam’ CAD CAM Software.
It all seemed too good to be true, and it was! The machine was never delivered and Emach ceased trading. Fortunately for us we went through an asset finance company, as such they actually bought the piece of equipment to lease to us over a 4 year period. On further investigation it turns out Leigh Tricklebank has been the MD of a string of companies that have taken money and failed to deliver. Unbelievably the finance company didn’t check that we had received the machine before releasing payment in full. The finance company have now refunded us the instalments and deposit we had paid and are now pursuing Tricklebank to recover the debt. Ironically the reason we chose Emach was that they were a British company making the routers here so would be able to offer the support and training that we are after.
We are now starting the whole process of sourcing a suitable machine again. If you or any of the forum members can pass on any contact details of a company that might be able to help us I would be extremely grateful.
Shame about the Emach deal. I do seem to remember something about them disappearing at the end of last year although I have never dealt with them. I also think one of the forum members used to work for them?
Yes he did and was extremely helpful, a top chap.
Would reducing our required Z height help?
Hi Mark, sorry to hear of your tale of woe with regard to EMACH. I'm pleased to hear your are not going to lose money over the deal, how on earth did they release money without checking?
With regard to the lower Z you will certainly increase the number of possible machines available, but I do think it still likely to be a used machine rather than new.
Do you think that the leasing company would be prepared to allow used purchase, if so would there be an age limit? G.
LOL Thanks very much, sorted it now!
I don't see any reason why they wouldn't finance a second hand machine as long as it came from an established company who can provide a proper invoice. At the same time as taking on the CNC router we took on a second hand Stiefelmayer System B surface plate and CMM (which was delivered and installed).
Does your proposed 12K include software, full fat Artcam and the like will eat 2K easily enough with a bit of support.
So figure in some time and eaten material for research,training and practice purposes before the machine becomes productive.
We are manufacturer of cnc routers in China. For your requirements,here are two kinds of cnc routers for your choice.
And the other is professional mould making cnc router,which Z axis height can be highed up to 600mm.
If you are interested,please feel free to contact with me at [email protected].
More details and pictures will be sent to you.
Ideal for what your intending to do I think!
Hi Mark, that large machine from China certainly looks like it woul be well suited for your needs. It would be interesting to get a full specification and post it on the forum and I feel certain you would get some really helpful comments. Please take note of the post made by Musht, having a super machine sitting in your workshop will not be much good unless you have someone that can properly program it. Operating cnc machines is not rocket science, but to learn to draw the components in 3d and then machine them will certainly take some time and will probably result in a few headaches!!! It would be worth asking if there is one of these machines in the UK for you to visit and discuss. Some people "knock" Chinese goods, but some of the quality from "C" nowadays is very good, even the UK self builders usually end up with some components from there. G.
I'm one step ahead of you. I have already emailed Grace and her exactly that. I will post her response.
Hello, yes training is very necessary for us. We can use Rhino well and have two CMM machines but have never used Cam software before. I'm also after support for the machine itself. What happens if somthing goes wrong a week before a deadline, I want to be able get it sorted ASAP. At the moment I can push the supplier or take the job else where, can't really do that when we have our own machine.
Grace has sent me a spec. Seems very good value for money, although they don't have a UK distributor or rep. I have replied asking if they have ever sold a machine to a company here in the UK. Let me know what you think.
No idea what the Chinese Company are like but you would need to do your homework on them. Other problem is going to be support for the machine, best your going to get by buying from China is phone support which may not be easy to understand. You will still need someone with some sort of understanding of the machine parts both mechanical & electronic.
Just out of interest do you already have all the equipment you need to do the carbon fibre work & someone with the expertise to use it??
Hello thanks for the reply. Yes we have a fair amount of experience with grp and composite materials.
We regularly take splash moulds from clay models to make patterns for both prototype and production tooling. We have made plugs for a number of aftermarket fairing companies. We have also had model board tools cut on cnc machines for us.
We've done a bit of pre preg and vac bagging work although not a lot. Our carbon work is never that pretty (actually neither is my grp work for that matter, my business partner is much better at it than I am) but it does the job we need it to. Most of the time we need to make a one off part for a design model, for example we will model a mud guard in clay but if we were to move the bike it would crack so we take a splash mould and make a grp part.

Benjamin Vial was near the door where gunmen burst into the Bataclan concert hall in Paris and murdered 90 people on November 13, 2015.
Vial miraculously managed to escape unhurt.
His injuries are arguably more psychological: he has told French media about the gruesome carnage he witnessed that night.
Two years on, he has spoken to Euronews about how he has written a book to help him come to terms with the massacre.
Benjamin Vial: “Today I’m doing pretty well. It has been a long journey to regain confidence in life and in the space around me.
Reading your book we see your view of the world has inevitably changed. What is that allowed you to escape yourself? Music, friends, literature?
You say that you resisted before going to consult specialists to help you through all these problems. What was the trigger to make you go?
Each chapter of your book opens by chronicling other jihadist attacks committed around the world, almost day-by-day. Why this macabre account?
Faced with this wave of terror, you could have descended into hatred and revenge. What held you back?
Firstly, I do not find it constructive. And it’s not my character and I do not see who I can blame. Of course, there are leaders, but what would that achieve?
You say there are many things that you have not written in this book. You do not talk much about the Paris terrorists. Are you waiting for a possible trial?
And do you think justice will prevail? | 2019-04-25T08:10:06 | https://www.euronews.com/2017/11/12/fear-friends-and-fragments-how-one-bataclan-survivor-is-rebuilding-his-life |
The American Indian Nurse Scholarship Award Program was started by the NSCDA in 1928 to give students of American Indian descent the opportunity to pursue careers in nursing. The students are expected to return to work among their people to help improve health care. Some students work on reservations, and others find employment in hospitals in areas largely populated by American Indians. Intended originally to benefit females only, the program has expanded to include males and the career goals now include not only nursing careers, but jobs in health care and health education, as well.
The current goal is to grant a $1,500 scholarship each semester, as long as the student remains in academic good standing. The scholarship money is restricted to tuition and specific academic expenses. To meet the financial demands of their education, many students seek additional government grants and subsidies and maintain part-time jobs.
In addition to the American Indian Nurse Scholarships, the NSCDA also grants educational awards each year to graduate students working toward doctorate degrees in American History, political science, historic restoration and preservation or administration of historic sites. Other educational awards are granted to any age child or adult for any reason pertaining to the education of American History. Examples include grants to enhance American history curriculum, History Day prizes, grants to teachers for enrichment study, and grants to international students. There is not a formal application for these awards, rather the NSCDA approaches possible awardees.
The Attingham Summer School is an intensive three-week program, based in Britain, that provides students unprecedented access to the collections and landscapes of English Country Houses. The specialized level of curatorial expertise offered by attending Attingham is truly unique and gives attendees a keen understanding of the significance of the selected properties and collections.
Dumbarton House’s own Jerry Foust attended the Attingham Summer School in 2015 and believes the value of the experience, and impact on his work, is impossible to quantify. He was granted behind the scenes access to 26 English Country Houses and gained knowledge in decorative and fine arts conservation, house museum management, collections care, and interpretation.
To support the NSCDA museum properties’ nationally in their collections and interpretive work, the NSCDA established a scholarship on 2013 to support staff participation in the Attingham Summer School. The NSCDA Attingham Committee encourages outstanding, highly qualifies museum professionals, employed by a Dames property, to apply to the Attingham Summer School.

Traditional pattern-based Antivirus programs can no longer keep up in today's fast changing security environments. Threats are changing to fast. New threats are developing faster than a definition update can be pushed to your traditional Antivirus solution.
Traditional Antivirus solution rely on someone somewhere seeing the attack and then creating a virus definition to catch that attack and then pushing that update out to your system. The problem is before that update can even be distributed the attack has morphed and the original virus patch or definition is no longer able to catch the new attack.
Today’s attacks have become too sophisticated and numerous for any pattern-based Antivirus to keep up. To protect your resources, you must implement modern machine learning and Artificial Intelligence based protections. If your current Antivirus is stilling using pattern-based updates it’s time to modernize your security.
Modernize your security with our Artificial Intelligence Based Anti Virus solution.

Josh is a dedicated learner, a career student of life and growth. Whatever he does he tries to learn and progress. After completing 2 degrees in University and realizing the corporate world was not for him, he stumbled onto yoga. At a time of his life, where transition was huge, leaving the corporate world behind, abandoning his area of education, he found his passion.
As Josh deepens in his yogic life, he has come to realize that he was living in a very yogic way for much longer than he has been practicing yoga. Currently, Josh finds his state of “Flow” while practicing yoga. Before yoga, Josh found his “flow” while competing on his many basketball and volleyball teams while growing up. Josh’s “Flow” state is where he is able to let go of the world and be totally present with what is in front of him. He also recalls times as a child and young adult paying attention to his breathe, what he now knows as pranayama (breathing). He used it in the same way as pranayama is used in yoga classes, to calm his mind, to slow his mind, to become more present.
Josh has been privileged to be able to lead yoga since October of 2012 after completing his 200hr yoga teacher training with Blissologist, Eoin Finn. Since then he has continued his education learning from teachers such as Christina Sell, Ryan Leier, Tiffany Cruikshank, Rockne White and Srivatsa Ramaswami.. Josh is currently in his 500hr teacher training with Empowered Yoga, lead by Michele Theoret and will be finished this November. | 2019-04-26T06:28:50 | https://yogalifestudios.ca/about/teachers/josh-schofield |
