A college education has long been the entry way into the American dream. Yet unemployment of recent college graduates is in the double digits.
In today video blog, we ask the question, are America’s youth getting the education they need, or just what they want. Few would argue that the U.S. will remain a world leader only if we are the best educated nation, with the most productive workforce in the world.
Yet in less than ten years the U.S. has fallen from first to twelfth among nations in the percentage of college age students completing degrees. This has happened at a time when states across the nation have cut education funding, making a public college education less affordable.
As Harvard professor Bill Symonds points out, that is why he believes students need to be more work ready, essentially getting a bigger bang for their educational buck. But I have to believe this is certainly not an either or proposition. While our country certainly should focus more on occupational certifications, I hope they are not at the expense of courses like history and civics, which give us a commonality and a shared story which speaks to the very heart of what it means to be an American.
If it makes you feel better we had a crew at Skills USA. It will air in the coming weeks.
A big part of the issue is the fact that the state has put so part graduation requirements on students, with no other options for graduating. Another is the councilors at h.s. don’t really know the world of work. Councilors typically move from the ranks of classroom teacher to councilor. They don’t know anything but secondary education.
Spent the day today judging the State SkillsUSA Plumbing Contest. There were 12 students from 2 career tech centers. There is one specific plumbing program left at Mid-Del Career Tech and another at Wes Watkins CT but its more of a general construction class.
I guess I have no complaints, I know that I have changed the lifes of many kids, I helped them become taxpaying, productive citizens of our state.
They can not be outsourced. Someone in New Dehli can not unclog my drain.
Supply & Demand. As fewer choose such professions the more lucrative they will be.
Debt free graduation/certification. Educationally Career Tech is such a bargain in both the time and money invested by the student.
Thanks for watching, I am interested in what you think.
As a retired vocational educator I found the Pathways interview very interesting. During my 25+ years as a Plumbing Instructor in this state, I was given the great DIShonor of closing down 3 of the states Plumbing training facilities.
Now as the president of the Board of Education with my former employer: Tulsa Technology Center, I cannot recommend that the District start another Plumbing trades program. The reason is that there are not any students willing to enroll as a “plumber” these days. Students are not informed of the many possibilities that this type of training can offer. The states colleges have done a great job of marketing and all students are convinced that they must go to college or they are nothing.I realize that there are numerious other factors adding to this problem, but Oklahoma has the best vocational system in the World and I fear for its future. We are opening only health related and popular media type programs just to keep students in the classes. I could go on and on…….

The 2015 La Conseillante, a blend of 81% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Franc, is extraordinarily pure and elegant on the nose. Here, I find a little more red fruit than black fruit, extremely elegant and articulating the terroir with great clarity. At first, wild strawberry and cranberry, then crushed stone, a touch of black truffle and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and elegant with fine tannin on the entry. This is one of the most approachable La Conseillante wines that I have tasted in barrel, the acidity very well judged, "classic" in style, good backbone here with a structured finish. It does not quite possess the bravura of the 2010 La Conseillante and I would agree with winemaker Marielle Cazaux that it bears more semblances to the 2005 La Conseillante at this stage, and even bore common traits with its neighbour, Vieux Château Certan. This is an intellectual and to put it prosaically, "delicious" La Conseillante.
Lush notes of dark fig, boysenberry and blackberry pâte de fruit glide over ample but velvety tannins, with suave black tea and ganache accents. This is long and should be gorgeous when finished.
A new winemaker and the style tweaked a little in 2015. Fragrant nose but richer and denser with the tannic structure more assertive. Good attack and mid-palate but fit finishes on a slightly dry, grainy note. May improve in barrel.
A total knockout, the 2015 La Conseillante possesses stunning depth, nuance and complexity. Soaring aromatics meld into a core of dark-fleshed stone fruits, with hints of mocha, crème de cassis, menthol, violets and dark spices that develop in the glass. The 2015 is not an obvious wine, but it is exceptionally beautiful. The blend is 81% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc. Don't' miss it.

The Real Deal is a four-week study focusing on God’s design for the Church. With myriad options available to express one’s faith, it is important to remember the true purpose and essence of the Church. Unless we build our foundation on the bedrock of God’s Word, it is all too easy to lose focus and find ourselves in need of a little shock therapy—bringing us back to what we need and want to be.
This study will lead participants to see what their core values should be, how to keep their focus where it belongs, what happens when that focus is lost, and the urgency of getting back to basics as a church.
It is very important to get the word out for this study in every way possible. The following session titles and objectives are structured for use in church bulletins and newsletters, emails, text messages, tweets, statuses, or Facebook groups.
Group members will discover the core essentials of a faithful church and encourage one another to embrace those essentials.
Group members will discuss what it means to maintain a first love relationship with Christ and why it is very important.
Group members will look at what happens when a church loses its focus.
Group members will be honest with each other about the urgency of restoring focus and getting back to basics.

Duplex stainless steel (DSS) 2507, also called super-duplex stainless steel (SDSS), is one of the newest members of the modern duplex family. Owing to the high levels of its various constituent alloying elements, DSS SAF 2507 exhibits an exceptional combination of high mechanical strength, high toughness, high corrosion resistance and superior resistance to chloride pitting. However, the high levels of alloying render it a very poor machinability. This study discusses machinability of SDSS SAF 2507 for milling operation under a range of machining parameters. The temperature generated during milling is studied for both dry and wet conditions. Area surface roughness of the milled surface is also measured under varying cutting speeds and feed rates. Predictive models are developed using two approaches that are Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Optimization of the cutting parameters to obtain maximum surface finish is done using Genetic Algorithm (GA). From the analysis, it is observed that feed rate has the most significant effect.
We would like to thank Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India, and Centre for Precision Measurements and Nanomechanical Testing, Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Calicut, for providing us the facility purchased under the scheme FIST—No. SR/FST/ETI-388/2015.

Kylie Jenner’s cosmetics empire all started from one mean comment. In Sunday night’s Life of Kylie, the 20-year-old reality star opened up during a therapy session about her first kiss, which led to some insecurities about her appearance.
After locking lips for the first time at 15, Kylie noted that the guy rudely commented on her small pout.
During the episode, Kylie also got into a fight with momager, Kris Jenner, who noted she was worried about the way Kylie was running her cosmetics line.
“It’s hard to balance being a teenager and also running my business,” she said.
But the mother-daughter duo later shared a touching moment when they visited Peru and met children with cleft palates, whom Kylie paid to have corrective surgery.

The White House has issued a steady stream of commentary about how the U.S. economy is the best ever (not true) and how we have finally turned the corner from the slow growth of the Obama years (also not true).
Sound analysis is often drowned out by political noise and ideological bias. The best way through the noise and bias is to look at hard data.
The economy has been growing since June 2009, making this the third-longest economic expansion on record. However, it has also been the weakest economic expansion on record. That has not changed under President Trump.
Average annual real GDP growth in this nine-year expansion is 2.14%. GDP growth in 2017, the first year of the Trump administration, was 2.3%, slightly above the expansion average.
Meanwhile, GDP growth in the first quarter of 2018 was revised down to 2.0%, slightly below the expansion average.
In short, growth under Trump has been almost exactly what it was under Obama. It’s true that the second quarter of 2018 looks stronger, at 4.1%. It’s the highest reading since 3Q 2014. But we’ve seen that movie before.
Even during Obama’s weak expansion we saw strong quarters including the first quarter of 2015, which was 3.2%, and the second quarter of 2015, which was almost 3%.
The problem is that these strong quarters soon faded; growth in the fourth quarter of 2015 was only 0.5%, almost recession level. And the strong second quarter in 2018 may be the result of temporary factors arising from the Trump tax cuts. Those factors will soon fade and return growth to the same punk levels we’ve seen for nine years.
I just mentioned recession. Most investors are familiar with the conventional definition of an economic recession. It’s defined as two consecutive quarters of declining GDP combined with rising unemployment and a few other technical factors.
But investors may not be as familiar with two other aspects of recession timing. The first is the exact body that makes the determination, and the second has to do with the timing of that body’s announcements.
The group that “officially” decides when the U.S. economy is in a recession is called the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, although there’s nothing official about what they do.
NBER is a private nonprofit think tank that receives substantial input from scholars at Harvard and MIT, but it is not a government agency. Their decisions on the start and finish of recessions are not technically “official,” but they are widely accepted by Washington, the Fed and Wall Street.
Less well known is the fact that recessions are not called by NBER until well after they have begun. In this respect, NBER looks backward at the data rather than forward like a forecasting firm.
On occasion, the NBER might not identify the start date of a recession until nine months or a year after the recession began. By that method, the U.S. could be in a recession next month and we would not know about it until a year from now when the data were all in.
But analysts, myself included, have to look for signs of a recession wherever they can find them and not wait for NBER to make its determination.
For example, pending home sales have dropped five months in a row. That is not by itself a definitive sign of a recession, but it’s certainly a worrying trend. Many other signs are appearing on the horizon also as the Fed continues to raise rates and destroy money by reducing their balance sheet.
There is the U.S. student loan debacle to consider, with over $1.5 trillion in outstanding debts and default rates approaching 20%. Junk bond defaults are also becoming a serious issue that could spread like a contagion. There are many other warning signs.
I’ve said previously that a recession is extremely likely before the end of 2020. But we could actually be entering one already. Don’t be surprised if we wake up a year from now only to find the NBER says the recession began in July 2018. Investors need to be ready today for this possibility.
Meanwhile, so many credit crises are brewing, it’s hard to keep track without a scorecard.
The mother of all credit crises is coming to China with over a quarter trillion dollars owed by insolvent banks and state-owned enterprises, not to mention off-the-books liabilities of provincial governments, wealth management products and developers of white elephant infrastructure projects.
Then there’s the emerging-markets credit crisis, with Turkey and Argentina leading a parade of potentially bankrupt borrowers vulnerable to hot money capital outflows and a slowdown of growth in developing economies.
I haven’t even mentioned trade wars and the very real possibility of shooting wars, particularly with North Korea, China, or Iran. In fact, reports have now surfaced about the possibility of an impending U.S. attack on Iran.
Australia’s ABC reports the U.S. is preparing to strike suspected Iranian nuclear facilities as early as next month.
But maybe you’re asking yourself, how on earth would Australia know that?
Well, Australia is part of the “Five Eyes” global intelligence system that includes the U.S., Canada, U.K., New Zealand and Australia. It’s entirely plausible that the story has some credible basis. We’ll see, but this is a story to keep an eye on going forward.
The point is, there are many potential economic and geopolitical trouble spots on the horizon. With weak growth continuing and more Fed tightening in the cards, a recession is far more likely than a return to long-term trend growth. Basically, the stock market seems to agree since it peaked last Jan. 26 and has gone nowhere since then.
My advice to investors is to look past all the political rhetoric and happy talk coming out of Washington and the mainstream media.
To get a sense of what’s ahead, you might want to take a look at sovereign wealth funds.
Sovereign wealth funds are set up by governments to invest their hard currency reserves. The sovereign wealth funds are the largest investors in the world. They’re at the top of the pyramid of power. That means they have better information, earlier warning and the first chance to get in or get out ahead of the crowd.
What are they doing now? Many sovereign wealth funds are sounding the alarm, reducing equity exposures and increasing their allocations to cash.
Here’s a chance for the retail investor to keep up with the big money by doing the same thing — reduce your exposure to equities and increase your allocation to cash, as well as gold, silver, land and other hard assets.

SWEET IS THE WORD! THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST VIA JOHN 5:8-9 | jeni a.
Pic via: the kitchen floor during one of the coloring sessions this week (look closely - you'll see how dirty the floor was, lucky you 😉)! It's one of the perfect places/situations for my scripture study. Not for comfort's sake, but for efficacy and efficiency, yes 👍: they are captivated by their work, so I pray and ponder and talk my thoughts out freely.
"Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
"And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked."
Christ is so powerful. In a culture/time when I really can't see much of Him - literally - it's so good to read this and spiritually see and believe something that brings so much comfort and confidence: He can heal not just quickly, but immediately, and perfectly when that needs to be our story.
That said, I wish healing from some of my insecurities/weaknesses could come as quickly as the lame man's here. It seems like I'm fighting so hard for healing to come in a few ways -- and you know, it's okay. It's okay to learn how to work for something. "Strength and struggle travel together. The pursuit of easy things makes me weak" In a moment like this man's here, what a beautiful, perfect situation to be healed immediately. And then in most other cases, what a blessing it is to learn to work with Him and see His power come to pass as I try try try.

Edinburgh-based Leo Bargery has been quietly going about his business for the last few months, putting out a handful of tracks to introduce us to his Mt. Doubt project and his forthcoming debut album. Mainly receiving praise from Scottish blogs and following in the footsteps of fellow emotive Scots such as Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad, Bargery will be hoping to widen his reach as those bands have managed.
There's a rousing nature to much of the Mt. Doubt material, best seen in the twinkling 'Asunder' and spirited debut track 'Feathers'. At times, Bargery goes for a slower build, reflecting his self-diagnosed genre tag of "atmospheric dark-pop" - the thrilling conclusion to 'Soft Wrists' a particular highlight. Listen to those tracks, and the latest 'Slump', below.

When most people think of 45 RPM records, they think of the small records often used for jukeboxes and singles. While it's true that many 45's released are singles, there are also 45 RPM LPs out there. These records play at a faster speed than the usual 33 RPMs of a standard LP, and because of this, are often doubles. While on a 33 RPM record, you can fit an entire album's worth of music, 45 RPM LPs can usually only fit about 12-15 minutes of music on each side--usually not enough space for an entire album.
So, what's the big idea? It seems like these 45 RPM records are more trouble than they're worth! According to audiophiles, the 45 RPM format sounds better because more musical data is fit into a smaller space than with 33 RPM records. This logic is also applied to digital music formats such as MP3s. A 256kbps MP3 is said to sound better than a 128kbps MP3 because more data is contained in the file. Just like a computer must read through more data in a 256kbps MP3 than with a 128kbps MP3, a turntable stylus must pick up on more nuances and details in the record groove in a 45 RPM record than in a 33 RPM record.
Anyway, the album I purchased was one that I had only listened to on CD and MP3 up until a few days ago. I can tell you that it sounds WAAAAY better than the CD, and definitely better than the MP3. However, I don't have a 33 RPM pressing of the album to do a side by side comparison. Too bad... I need to give the album another intense rotation or two to really get a feel for the superiority of the sound over CD, but again, this proves the theory (again) that vinyl really does sound better.
If you find an album that you love, and it is available in the 45 RPM format, it's probably worth picking up, because in addition to the theoretically better sound, it is also probably a heavier format, made with virgin vinyl, and may even include some nice extras. Enjoy the music...in 45 RPMs!
I am skeptical of die-hard audiophiles who talk about how some piece of gear sounds better because it has .01% less THD. The same argument is made with regards to MP3s (and other stuff too). If you didn’t have the spec sheet in front of you, would you really be able to discern such a small difference? Human ears are not precision instruments, and while it may be true that some humans can perceive smaller nuances in sound than others, it doesn’t mean that an especially perceptive human can make the same judgments as a precision instrument or computer.
As for “proving that vinyl is better”, I have proven it to myself, but maybe other people aren’t convinced. That’s fine, because the only person’s opinion that matters when it comes to how something sounds is my own. I encourage you and everyone else that reads this to make up their own minds about what sounds best to them.
Anyway, thanks for the comment. I am glad that I’ve got some lively discussion going!
why compare cd vs mp3 if they are both bad! Vinyl or 24/96 is another thing.
My belief is that audiophile gear sounds better not because it boasts all sorts of good specifications (THD, s/n, slew rate, blah blah, etc), but because most audiophile gear is very high powered, which then allows the listener to enjoy music much louder, with less distortion. With the volume up, you hear those subtle nuances in the sound, plus you get that realism of hearing the music at natural volume levels, making the music sound better.
Do you if its possible to have the hole drilled to the old size which use to be standard when buying 45 rpms? It seems that a lot of the vinyl out there is with a smaller spindle which only works on turn tables, but not jukeboxes.
It’s possible, but I wouldn’t recommend it. If your hole ends up being off the exact center of the record, it may not play properly, or if it does play, it may introduce distortion into the playback. If you have the tools to do it properly, maybe try it out on a record that you can throw away if it doesn’t work out. Good luck!
I’m trying to figure out of the vinyl I bought is 45 or 33. There are only 3 songs per side, which are about 4-5 minutes long each. So that would leave me to believe that it’s a 45. Os there another way I can tell? ( I haven’t played it yet….I would like to know the speed first before I play it).
Honestly, the easiest thing to do would be to play it. Although if it’s a full sized LP, it’s mostly likely 33, if it’s a small record with a big hole, it’s probably a 45. If you put the record on and use the 33 RPM setting, and the music sounds natural, it’s probably a 33. If it sounds low-pitched, slow and evil, it’s probably a 45. Conversely, if you put the record on and use the 45 setting, and the music sounds right, it’s probably a 45. If the music sounds fast, high-pitched, trippy, and weird, it’s probably a 33. Good luck!
The sound quality of vinyl has more to do with the mastering of the vinyl than with the rotational speed of the record. A good mastering engineer can make both a 33 and 45 version of the album sound good. The problem area with a 33 rpm vinyl album is during the second half of a side, as the needle gets closer to the label, there is less land to encode the audio information of the sound, the sound waves get squashed, there is not as much resolution, it gets much more difficult to capture high frequency information without distortion. Lowering the volume of the inner tracks can help them sound better, thus you did tend to find quieter songs as the last songs on the side of an album in the past. Mastering at 45 RPM helps to alleviate this problem, making the second half of the 12″ vinyl side better able to capture audio without having to lower the volume of the songs.
It’s really basic physics, 1/2 way into a 45 RPM side is comparable to the outside of the 33 RPM record in terms of the amount of land available to encode information. 1/2 inch from the label, the end of a 45 RPM side, is comparable to the middle of the 33 RPM side, kind of where the physical limitations of the vinyl format start to become audible as distortion. Thus the beauty of a 45 RPM 12″, you have an entire side of useful land to encode audio without having to worry so much about distortion and the physical limitations of the vinyl medium itself.
256kbps MP3s played through a very high-quality listening device, to my ears, are not the same as the CD. 320kbps MP3s seem pretty much the same. 256kbps AAC from iTunes seem pretty much the same. We are talking about my $2600 bi-amped recording studio monitors through a $3500 D/A convertor, to put things in perspective. The average human does not have this type of listening device, I need it for studio work, even I would have a hard time telling the difference if I didn’t have this “audio microscope.” It’s important to note the context, the listening environment, before making blanket statements about sound quality.
24bit/88kHz digital audio, that I work with in my studio, is quite spectacular, and significantly captures the sound of the incoming signal more accurately than CD-quality 16bit/44kHz. The audio CD itself is not the best digital audio storage medium, DVD-A and SACD, are much better equipped to store accurate digital audio and compete with vinyl, if you can find them anywhere, and have the appropriate playback device.
Thanks for the info! You do make some good points. To be able to get the best listening experience, there are many more things to consider than the RPM of the record. In addition to the quality of the gear you’re playing back on, there are a million other things: Your position in the listening environment, cleanliness of the stylus or record, ambient noise level, the power output of your amp, even your physical or emotional state. However, in my opinion, all audio formats suffer from the law of diminishing returns. Sure, you could have some crazy high-end digital audio format that contains 1000x more musical data than a regular old 128kbps MP3, but it’s not going to sound 1000x better.
I am 42 years old. This past summer, I dug out my Technics turntable from my high school days. Surprisingly, I was still able to buy a new belt, new cartridge, and even a NEW dust cover as the tabs that fit into the hinges were broken in the 80’s. This turntable did not get a LOT of use back then so the motor is top notch. I can accurately adjust the strobe for exact playback.
Let me tell you the thoughts that went through my mind after digging out my old 80’s albums out of storage. After listening to a few, I can say the only thought that kept running through my head was “what the hell were we thinking!!??!! These albums DO sound better than the CD’s. Yes, I re-purchased all my vinyl on CD, thank god I never got rid of the vinyl though. To me the better sound quality of vinyl over CD is obvious. One other issue I have NOT seen anyone address is that many albums sound SLOWER (and I must say more natural, like, what I “remembered” from “back then”). Again, it’s NOT my turntable, it’s working flawlessly and to prove the speed issue, I tested this one NEW out of the box turntable, again, the sound on many albums is slower, more natural. I’ve read up on the “loudness wars” where CD recording levels have been pushed up so high that musical information is missing on the CD’s, YES I hear that now, IT’S TRUE!! Sad though, for people like me that replaced all our vinyl with CD’s, then we went CD ONLY, now a lot of this vinyl resurgence is very clever marketing scheme on the part of the music industry (get the teens and 20 somethings hooked on this, something more difficult to copy/pirate/upload) make it cool again, and also maybe those 80’s guys (like me!!) will go out and get all the stuff they bought in the late 80’s, all of the 90’s and early 2000’s, maybe they will go out and re-buy all that stuff on vinyl!!! Pure Genius!! But you know what, I’m NOT buying all that CD stuff on vinyl, what I have I have, but I AM buying any NEW music on Vinyl whenever I can, and I can tell you it’s getting easier and easier, chain stores in my area are starting to stock vinyl now, not just the used record shop on the corner!! Now, for the last part of my ranting on here, if you read some of the articles on the ‘Net about the “loudness wars” another aspect mentioned in those articles is LISTENER FATIGUE. Hmm, I kinda proved this to myself. People are going to call me crazy here but TRY it for yourself if you can. Without a lot of medical history, I have great blood pressure, that of a healthy teenager. When I listen to music with headphones, it’s LOUD, been doing that since my teen days, hearing tests STILL pass with flying colors!! Now, when I listen to anything digital, MP3’s , CD’s etc. I have the volume LOUD. After 15 min. or so, I can feel my pulse throbbing in my neck. To be accurate here, the NEXT day, not mixing the test subject matter on the same day, the NEXT day, I listen to some of my vinyl, also LOUD, pulse in neck is soft as ever. And I have repeated this many many times. Strange? Yes. But I think the guy that wrote that article on the “Loudness Wars” and also went into some way too technical stuff for me to explain but DO understand, his point about the human ear NOT being meant to listen to digital information (even though we know it’s being converted BACK to analogue), that the human ear does better with analogue, he’s on to something here. Again, I challenge anyone to try this, just be sure to do it on separate days, or at least hours apart, dont do back to back tests as you can’t get an accurate result, you need time to let your body re-adjust. Of course, all this got me thinking, what happens when we WATCH digital information on tv? Millions of pixels…… what does that do to our brain? We all know how crappy digital cell phone conversations are when they go choppy, which is very often. I am calling all of this, “The Digital Lie”. We have been force fed digital at a slow to fast growing rate for over 25 years now. Might this have something to do with so many people being MORE stressed now than back then? The increased demands on our eyes, ears and brains??
It is always funny to watch a short, decent presentation of a topic get debated into oblivion. Good job. I think a child’s dream somewhere just died. Oh yeah, and that ultra-rare mint condition record you’ve been searching for…It called, and left a message saying it no longer wants you to own it. As a “part-time” collector of vinyl, and really all formats of music (just depends on how I find them), I can say that as long as there’s a good amp, respectable set of speakers, and something I want to hear that’s good enough.
In terms of actual audio that is reproduced from a 33 vs a 45, there is negligible difference but on some truly audiophile equipment that difference may be noticeable – it would, however, be at the fringes of the recording. The sub-freq cut-off range and ultra high-end are more “felt” than heard, in any case, and any “problems” that emerge from reproduction between the two formats will really only become apparent through their harmonic interaction with other elements of the sound in the more “musical” areas of the frequency spectrum.
That said, I’m a hip hop producer and spent many hours digging through old, weird records. There is a benefit to sampling from 45s with regard to quality of audio but in my experience it has nothing to do with the reproduction of “encoded” frequencies. The benefit lies in the signal to noise ratio difference between the two formats. Because the process of reproducing sound from vinyl on a regular turntable is a mechanical process, the very fact that the needle drags along a groove means that it picks up surface noise. The older and dirtier that a record becomes the more this surface noise will take the form or white/pink/brown noise. So, why is a 45 record better at dealing with this?
Well, because both forms will pick up the same relative density of wear and dust, the only benefit comes in that because the needle travels over a 45 faster, it reproduces that surface noise at higher frequencies, often pushing it out of the audible spectrum of sound.
You can try this on any old record to see my point. Take an old, dusty 33 and play it then switch your turntable up to 45, you’ll hear the noise diminish relative to the recorded signal.
All in all, it is a bit of a pointless argument. Both formats are massively flawed in terms of accurate reproduction. That is the beauty of a record – it is plagued with harmonic distortion, the brutal RIAA curve implemented imperfectly by solid state and valve technology, surface noise and clicks… that’s why it sounds so warm.
I can guarantee you that any slowing is introduced by the turntable, or all in your head. Digital does not speed up audio.
There is a noticeable difference between 320 and 128 kbps but its barely noticeable. The audio is clearer and smoother though and the file isn’t as lossy. Of course, vinyl is the highest definition. Can someone inform though as to why a 45 is better than a 33. Makes no sense to me since more audio data can be stored in the same time interval on a 33. This would line up with the 256 vs 128 analogy because the former has a larger file size. Likewise a 33 goes through ~half a revolution per sec. @ 6″ from the center that’s about 21″ of space in the groove per second which goes down steadily of course. A 45 on the other hand is three-quarters of a rev/sec. However the space is only 16.5″/sec (@ 3.5″ from center).
Actually, the 45 has more data. Think about it this way: A 45 spins faster than a 33. This means that the stylus will have to read more data in a 45 than a 33. Just like a high kbps MP3 vs. a lower kbps MP3, the computer has to read more data with the high kbps file. Of course, whether or not a 45 actually sounds better to a human ear is something else entirely.
There are a number of factors that affect sound quality, many of them have not even been touched in this discussion. However, I just wanted to bring out a couple of points. The first is, “speed” without considering other factors, is not relevant to sound quality, fidelity or any other aural perception. So, when this discussion is speaking of “speed” it is factoring in a great many qualities which are being taken for granted and should not be. The first is “data density”. That is a function of how much data is recorded in a given surface area of vinyl. On a LP, we have an approximate diameter (manufacturers start recordings at different places, so it is not a given number for where the music starts) of 12″. The circumference of that circle would be about 37.7″ at 33 1/3 RPMs, that’s about 1,257 inches of vinyl passing under the stylus per minute. The inner circle where the music stops playing is about 5″, a circumference of about 15.7″ or about 524″ inches of vinyl per minute. So sound density changes by about 42% from the beginning to the end of an LP. A 45 is about 7″ in diameter down to about the same 5″, so at 45rpm, the outer rings has about 990 inched of vinyl down to about 707 inches of vinyl. So a 45 represents some mid-portion of a 33 LP, the outside of a 33 being greater density and the inside being less. That’s what determines the amount of data being available. In a perfect world, more data would mean better sound fidelity. However, that greater density not only allows more “good” data to be recorded, but allows more “bad” data to be recorded and greater chance for picking up noise, distortion and contamination. So, in a real sense, you are just getting more of both. Also impacting quality is groove depth and density. The grooved on a 33 are shallower which provides less fidelity and makes them easier to damage. A 33 also usually has more “grooves per inch”, which actually improves fidelity. As stated previously, as you “spiral in” on a record, the density changes. The faster you spiral in, the easier it is to hear the decreasing density’s impact on sound. So, a 45 echoes that sound more quickly than a 33. All of these things, and many more, impact analog sound quality. Some of those other considerations are wow, flutter, static, pop and environmental factors transferring to the stylus. Digital music suffers from none of those factors. And the data sampling rate (128 versus 256 versus 320 kbps) also is almost meaningless without some context. In a perfect world, all sound in any sampling rate falls inside the limitations of human discernment. However, we don’t live in a perfect world. For that reason, it is important to know the sound density you are sampling. A 12, 16, 24 and 48 bit sound pattern can be transmitted with a frequency response from 2Hz to 30 KHz (the human ear normally only registers things between 50Hz and 20KHz) and transmitted from 12 – 176 KHz. Thus, the volume, speed and frequency of data drastically changes what is sampled and what is captured. For the purpose of illustration, if someone plays an “A” on a piano with no change of pitch, duration or volume, it would have no detectable difference no matter which data rate you chose nor how sophisticated the equipment you used to detect it. If you tried to capture the entire electromagnetic spectrum for, say, FM radio and then play back just your favorite station, the likelihood of you getting acceptable results would be very much dependent upon the sampling rate (and a number of other factors). The capture rate is a function how much data you want or need to capture to produce an undetectable difference in the range of audible hearing. Lossless recording try to capture everything and need a very high capture rate, with a very high bit count, transmitted at a very high frequency. Compressed formats use a clipping format to make sure they cover 80-90% of the audible range, eliminating highs and lows and then sample at a rate that skips periods of time, but tries to do so in a manner that is not audibly discernible. The smaller the file size you seek, the more likely it will be you will hear the change.
So, all that being said, what is practical and what is useful? Some of these changes can’t be perceived by the human ear. Some can be perceived by an audiophile in a controlled environment. The truth is, almost no one can detect most of these changes while listening in their car, or while jogging, cleaning their house or tuning their car. You can’t use vinyl portably, so the limitations are very impractical in regular use. For those purists who sit in quiet rooms with the best equipment and the most highly controlled environment, know this, the recording is still imperfect, as is the playback equipment and all you are getting is a more perfect version of the flaws in the recording. If you want purity, you must go and listen to the musicians. If it’s recorded, it is flawed.
Songs on the soundtrack of a PAL DVD will tend to be about 4% higher pitched than they are on record (or CD), because of the nature of PAL film and video transfers.
I can tell you this. A 45rpm the music can be LOUDER than on a 33rpm. The sound wave is stretched out more at 45rpm so it is more shallow so there is more room to pump up the volume when recording it on the record. And then you need less amplification from the Stereo equipment for playback. Less amplification means better sound. Now, can we REALLY pick up on the differences? Who knows. BUT, there is a difference.

Earlier this evening I was eating at the table alone, until I noticed I was spilling most of my meal from the plate.
The food was disgusting, that’s why.
I stopped and dragged myself into a shirt, then the rest of my clothes. The thought of fish and chips floated before me like a fantasy. I picked out my order in my head, could hear the shop’s chatter in my ears. I smiled just thinking of the machine that cuts the lemons, which always gives me something to watch as I eat.
As a result of these thoughts I had trouble getting my shoes on. My spirit was too eager, I was not in control. But soon both shoes were on and I marched into the night, swinging my hands, quiet laughs being pulled from of me like nails out of wood.
I walked quickly trying to catch up with my spirit which (no matter how fast I walked or ran) seemed always to be striding ten meters ahead. I ran for a while to catch up but I never closed the distance.
What happened was this: a car came past and turned, throwing its light into my eyes. This is what made me trip over. I think the light blew a fuse in my interior, something vital to the basic psychology of movement. I tried to catch myself as I went down, but ended up fighting with my own limbs and punching myself in the lips. Something cold and vicious scratched at my face. I landed in mud, my waist propped inside sharp, springy plants. I shut my eyes and lay there until something moved on my face: the wet kiss of an earthworm.
When I pulled myself upright I found myself staring at a man sat in front of a campfire. I’d fallen through a gap in the hedge into his garden.
The man had both eyes closed. He appeared to be listening to his campfire, and beside him lay a dog with a mysterious, thoughtful expression on its face. Its paws remained tucked beneath its head, which I was thankful for. It just swivelled its eyes up at me momentarily. It was entirely without nerves, I think. It returned to watching the fire, attending to the dog-thought which lay deep inside it and was not accessible to any words.
The man waved at me, and I waved back. He was frowning.
At that point I recognised him from the shop, where sometimes I went to buy bread. ‘I’m sorry,’ I said. I stood up to leave. Then I hesitated.
I had no immediate worries. If anything he had a cosy, round face that was completely non-threatening. (Though of course, it’s hard to work out the true meaning behind a face that is always well-meaning). But in the few seconds we’d had to interact he’d always seemed kind enough. The truth is that this was an uncertain moment – this was not ritual, there were no rules governing the correct behaviour, nothing other than a faint sense of recognition. This is what made me hesitate.
He nodded. After a moment passed he said, ‘I am digging a hole for the mirror.’ He held a piece of broken mirror up, a long triangle of shattered glass drinking up the light of the campfire.
Then his face turned grey. What caused it I can’t say – perhaps some anxiety that I was going to question the principle of what he was doing, accuse him of living in some fruit-like version of reality. The truth is there’s no difference between the shamanist burial of a broken mirror and the purchase of a high-street placebo.
But this way of thinking is scratchy. I’d find it easier to argue with an actual theist.
I looked down at the pieces of broken mirror, cut-out shapes of light on the earth. The fire was lacking, so he reached to his right and threw on another piece of wood.
Then he placed a shattered piece of mirror in my hand as if to prove it was real. As he did so I had the feeling of forgetting how to speak. I opened my mouth but no words came out. While my speech failed I found myself on a traipse through my own sleeting memory. At the most distant point I discovered a membrane in the ground, and when I stood on it I fell through into a cave.
All the time I was stood quite still in front of the fire, holding that piece of broken mirror. Yet I had also fallen through that membrane into a cavity beneath my feet.
The cave was a hollow of continuous dark without walls, not even soft walls of darker blackness. Aside from the light falling through the opening, all around me was pure sightlessness. The floor was flat, and air kept whooshing around. I found the gravel underfoot calming. The sound of it beneath me, within this empty space, was all I needed to reassure me, and my body filled with a kind of infinite warmth. By now my eyes had adjusted to the dim, and the light from the opening was reflecting on the space around me.
Hanging in the air before me was a misshapen grey form, like a fungal mass. I understood it to be photosensitive. Yet here it was overshadowed by the earthen roof and had become dormant.
I examined it further. On the front of the fungal mass was a white circle that looked like a lens, wet with tears or condensation. Hair-like tubers grew across the underside, resembling a frail beard. Apart from this beard and the lens-like shape on its front, the rest of its surface was covered in a series of deep pock-marks, each filled with wet shadow. The whole thing was slowly rotating. It seemed to me it was searching, casting its lens blindly around the darkness.
As the words escaped me I found myself above ground, looking once again at the fire, the man with his eyes closed listening to the rustle of the flames.
What was the appropriate level of questioning for the remainder of that memory, so weakly present? The man spoke again, now with a slight lisp rippling on the words. The tree branches above began shaking traitorous leaves away. With this my mind brightened.
Two big pieces of mirror made a smacking sound when he picked them up. ‘The burial,’ he replied, holding the two pieces of the mirror in one hand and smiling into them both.
He stood briefly to offer me a sip from his flask then returned to his seat and said, ‘It’s not for me. It’s my mother, she knows when I lie to her, for that reason I am persisting with this…’ He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and presented it as evidence – I saw it was covered in large-lettered writing. I said nothing, which seemed to disappoint him. Then he began laying the fragments of mirror on the earth in their broken arrangement. The lines in his forehead knit closer, tying his eyes together.
In the distance I heard the threatening sounds of people spilling out of a party. I wanted them to find me, then pictured myself dragging them away from this place. Their voices kept switching around. There were perhaps twenty of them, all reaching after different tones of voice, as if unsure of what type of party it was.
Then the volume dropped away – they began vanishing. They’d closed a door and left me with the sound of an aeroplane meandering in the sky. Eventually their voices disappeared into sugary music.
I sat next to the man, finding a seat on a rotted log. His dog stood up as if it had been waiting for this sign, and began to scratch away a hole in the ground. Neither of us spoke. I rehearsed the passage of time with my watch. When the hole had opened slightly the man began singing softly, the notes turning like a screwdriver.
Without words (but with a very definite physical sensation) I thought ‘I will never catch up with my spirit’. I remembered the feeling of it marching ten meters ahead of me, until my accidental delay. At what point would it sense I was missing – fifty meters? What would it do when it came to that full realisation? Losing yourself this way is a desperate feeling. You could spend forever retracing your steps.
The dog is taking its time. I help it dig. I get down on all fours and begin scraping away the earth. I am going nowhere. I imagine myself inside the fish and chip shop – the smell of cod and plaice frying, the sound of people talking, coughing, and so on. I am going nowhere. I stretch the thought into a fantasy, which sustains me as I dig, and in my head I pick out my order, I can almost hear the shop’s chatter ringing inside me, how I will wait in line, pay and sit down, how I like to watch the slices of lemon being cut precisely using a simple machine which comprises only a pulley (for conveying lemons to the blade) and a plastic cog (which spins, flipping them over and over, allowing the blade to cut them into effortless segments). I am going nowhere. This machine, and the repetitive movements of food being wrapped in paper, will give me something interesting to watch while I eat. I am going nowhere. In retrospect what I really wanted was to witness this rhythm, to take part in the simple exchanges at the till – to fill myself up with everything, all of it, not only food, but all of it, the sounds, the company, the people, the cloud of warmth into which I can dissolve totally and anonymously. A kind of infinite warmth. I am going nowhere. Ah, there it is. My spirit ten meters ahead of me ten meters ahead of me. I am going nowhere. For quite a while I have been digging a hole with this dog.

Did you know creating art is good for you? Spending time creating art on your own or by taking an art class, can provide positive benefits such as expressing yourself in a new way or helping to relieve stress. There are a lots of misconceptions about creating art. Some people think you have to be born with talent to be good at it. Some think creating paintings or sculptures is the only "real" art. Others think they may not be good at it so won't even bother trying. It is my belief that everyone has a creative mind and can learn how to express that creativeness. Are you ready to find that creative person living inside of you? As an art teacher, my main focus is teaching painting so this article will be geared around that.
In today's world there are so many options and opportunities for people to learn and explore their creative side and learn how to paint. For many it's hard to know which option to choose. Buying a book or watching a video may work for some, attending a class can be ideal for others. But what sort of class? What's the difference between a Paint Party, a workshop and an art class? With so many different options how does one find the right fit? I've been teaching workshops and art classes for nearly 30 years in Lake Tahoe, Chico and now in Maui. In the past nine or ten years "Paint Parties" have sprung up all over and have become quite popular. I've had students sign up to take a class from me because they discovered the joy of painting while attending a Paint Party and wanted to learn more.
1. Allows you to be creative.
2. Provides a positive, memorable experience.
3. Provides a way for you to relax and enjoy yourself.
Despite the common benefits, the differences between the three are huge. Here is an overview of each to help you decide which would be best for you.
Paint Parties, also known as "Paint 'n' Sip,” are the newest craze in the "learn how to paint" world so I'll begin here. The sessions are accompanied by wine, beer or other beverages which make these group painting parties fun, casual and social. The main focus is on the "party" aspect, not on the learning aspect. You could say they are more about Fun Art than Fine Art. These parties can accommodate large groups with up to 30 or more people and are usually located at a bar or restaurant. The painting subjects are decorative, simple and colorful and everyone paints the chosen image of the night. Students, or party goers are guided through a step by step process by the instructor or Partista ( party artist ). By the end of two hours each participant will have a completed painting to take home along with having an affordable and enjoyable time with family, friends or co-workers. Prices can vary between $30 to $75 per person, art supplies are included. The instructor may or may not be an artist or have an art background.
Now, having said all that, there is one Paint Party business I know of here in Lahaina that does not follow the Paint Party business approach. Instead, it focuses more on the art side and not on the party side of the business. It's called Maui Paint Parties and you can find it on Facebook.
Art Workshops and Artist Retreats, are much more complex than Paint Parties. They can be as short as a few hours and as long as a week or more. Class sizes are smaller so each student can receive individual attention from the instructor. Costs can range from $50 to $350 or more per person per day. Art supplies may or may not be included, so make sure you find out before attending a workshop. There are workshops and artist retreats all over the world. This allows the adventurous student the opportunity to travel. Some will provide sleeping accommodations for an added fee.
People attend art workshops for a variety of reasons and will choose according to what fits into their time, budget and what's being offered. Many people have little or no experience with art and merely want to relax, have fun and explore their creative sides. Some are uncomfortable or intimidated around art and want to become more familiar with it. Others want to develop a creative pastime or hobby they can enjoy without a huge investment. Workshops are also good for trained experienced artists who want to learn a new technique outside of their own area of expertise. If you are an artist you know how important it is to keep learning. Workshops can stimulate your own creative impulses, help relieve artist's block, or give you new ideas and inspirations for future art work. For new students or first timers, workshops can give you the time to focus on yourself and your art work. You can become energized, inspired, learn new skills and meet new people.
There are literally thousands of workshops across the USA and in other countries. Some focus on a particular style such as realism, impressionism or abstract. Some focus on the medium being used such as watercolor, oil, acrylic, or mixed media just to name a few. Others are more focused on teaching a particular subject like landscapes, seascapes or portraits. What ever your interests are I'm sure you will be able to find a workshop that will fit it. One of the advantages of taking a workshop as opposed to a formal course of study is they are less structured and more fun and social. Plus with the smaller group size the beginner and amateurs will benefit from plenty of individual attention by the teacher.
Now you may be wondering how to find a workshop that will fit into your budget, time frame or interest. In today's world that is easy, Google it! Or check with your local art center, Museum or Art Gallery. You can also check out various art magazines at your local book store. Many art magazines have workshops listed in the back section of their publications. Make sure you take the time to view any websites they have or call to get more info. Remember I mentioned above that some workshops include the art supplies, others don’t, in which case, you will need to get the supply list and do some shopping.
If you are visiting Maui you may want to checkout the workshops I offer at my studio. You can view the paintings in the Class Schedule / Workshop section of my Art E Studio website, www.art-e-studio.net.
Art Classes, formal and private are much more focused on the education and career minded student. In this section I'll talk about both the more formal college classes for those of you who want an art degree, and the more casual private classes from a professional artist or instructor.
First lets talk about the formal education, the benefit of an art degree and what you can do with it. And, hopefully I'll ease your mind regarding the "Starving Artist" condition we all hear about. An art degree can prepare you for many specialized art careers which can be very rewarding for the creative minded person. Here is a list of art career jobs you might be interested in.
*Visual communication such as advertising, web design, book publishing, TV and film.
*Media arts and Animation. Wouldn't you love to work at Disney Studios?
This is a short list, and as you can see, there are many ways to earn a living through the arts, there is no need to starve. In the majority of art careers you will find it essential to have a varied portfolio of work to show prospective employers. You will also want to take courses in business, teaching or history for many of the careers listed above. The job prospects for art majors are wide open. Besides the technical skills you will gain from your art degree, you will also strengthen your critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills, presentation skills and time management. You can gain these skills through taking a workshop or private art lessons as well. They are potential achievements from learning to be creative.
Now lets talk about private art classes. This is my area of expertise and one that I love. The advantage of taking a private class is huge. The special one-on-one help you'll get is very valuable. If you have never taken an art class or workshop and are nervous or shy, a private class will work well for you and can help prepare you for future workshops. You can ask any question you want, set the pace for how fast or slow you want to go and you get to paint what interests you and in the style you like, using the medium of your choice. You'll learn art terms and their meaning such as composition, light and shadow and values. I'll show you how to mix paint and teach you about basic color theory. I'll teach you what brushes to use and various painting techniques and much much more. I'll pass on so much information that it can feel a bit overwhelming, but not to worry, I repeat myself, a lot. I'll help you discover that creative person hiding inside and lead you to discover the joy of painting.

usually try to talk people out of it. I was not able to talk him out of it.
This game is always in your hands, esteemed fellow Genesis enthusiasts.
Perhaps he shouldnt have assisted in so many pvp fights that griefed others then if he didnt wanna catch the retaliation? :P You join in on attacks, you will get attacked back, how is this even news to him or anyone?
It's a damn shame. I liked Bonk. I know how much his alts being targeted bothered him. Hopefully he'll return someday.
Who his alts where, I have no idea, targeting someones alts is low just because the main fucked up a million times :P But Bonk, the char Bonk getting nuked is something he's asked for.
We can always count on Draugor , claiming reactions were the cause.
Funny how fighting back quickly becomes an excuse for being attacked in the first place.
You saying he was attacked without any sort of reason? :P You saying he didnt assist various attackers? I am not saying the BDA are not chaotic, but alot of people have cause to attack Bonk.
Also, am I also allowed to cry about not liking pvp and get off the Knights and Calians killist?
Instead of deleting players who request it, could you not simply cut their player data from the system and archive it somewhere?
I'm not sure how large player data files are, but you probably wouldn't need more than a flashdrive..
I don't know. Archiving always seems better to me than deletion, but who knows.
Well, I think we must provide a way for players to remove themselves from the game. Most online services provide a way to close an account. Longtime players we try to talk out of it, and suggest they use the restrict command to begin with instead of deletion. But sometimes it gets to a point when someone just really really really wants to be removed from the game and not be able to access their character anymore.
As for backups and archives. We do have backups of the game and it's data. It would be way too unsafe to unleash noobs like me on the game without a proper backup system!:) So deleted players can usually be restored, the reason for the deletion of course decides if such a request is granted.
I am confused as to the reason for the post by the OP.
If they are pointing blame at the players, this reeks of wizard interference.
If Bonk did not want to participate in a war, that character could have left the warring guilds.

Hello I am Guido. Born in Rotterdam, in a heyday of some Western-European economies, like the Dutch, and exactly three years before the German unity.
Growing up behind the dikes of the Krimpenerwaardpolders and going to atheneum in Rotterdam provided me an interesting perspective on the difference between village, town and city life.
I have studied at Eindhoven University of Technology, just before the completion of Flux. After a propaedeutic diploma Building and Architecture, I switched studies to become physicist.
In the meantime, I got interested in the field of clean and sustainable energy. Already somewhat longer, I stroke an optimistic attitude towards the human capabilities to continue to live on this planet peacefully. Therefore, I started to enjoy thoughts on how I could contribute to a cleaner energy system with my knowledge and skills on the matter.
Wandering through the topics a bachelor physicist encounters, my mind's eye fell on the possibility to do a specialisation in Nuclear Fusion at the Applied Physics faculty. I did a research project there, on a broader perspective of energy technologies: placing fusion in the economy of energy sources. This was the start of a journey, together with the Energy Futures department of Shell, that has already resulted in a publication.
During my studies, I was involved in the conception and foundation of a student think-tank of energy enthusiasts: Team Energy. Right after this I joined a startup that developed an app that helps neigbours doing groceries for each other, which failed.
I have been filling my own toolbox with software developments skills. I am interested in various topics on which I occasionally write in the blog section of this page. Doing amounts of work in business, I needed to find a balance to write again.
After a rest, I am again active in research, about the socio- and techno-economics of energy technologies. Especially fusion. We ask ourselves the question, how would fusion do in the commercial uptake? Who would buy or build it. Who would invest? For what term? If you want to know more, welcome to visit the Blog.
Here, I continue to write about myself. Maybe my self too, or I dump this somewhere else.
Hallo ik ben Guido. Ik ben natuurkundige, taalpurist en ontwikkelaar. Ik schrijf over ideeën binnen en buiten deze domeinen.
Ik ben een onderzoeker, van origine technisch natuurkundige, via software-engineer, naar techno-economisch onderzoek van energiebronnen. Ik schrijf en dicht weleens. Ik vertrouw gedachten toe aan getyp.
Wanneer het u verheugt te corresponderen, bent u welkom om dat via de social-media-iconen te doen in About.
Blijf u vooral bekwamen in het schriftelijk uiten, had mijn moeder me eens toegedicht. Daarom oefen ik dat zo nu en dan.

The IPO, if successful, will value the company at $2 billion.
The IPO had been expected last year, but Soon-Shiong told MedCity News in January that he put off the move until NantHealth completed its acquisition of payer-provider communications platform NaviNet.
Here are seven interesting tidbits we found in NantHealth’s S-1 registration statement.
2. The government of Kuwait owns at least 10 percent of NantHealth, via two holding companies. The Kuwait Investment Authority had put $250 million into NantHealth in 2014.
3. NantHealth has named its knowledge, provider and payer platform CLINICS, for Comprehensive Learning Integrated NantHealth Intelligent Clinical System.

David Houghton, UCOP Facilities and MRO Commodity Manager, is leading a collaboration between UCOP, campuses, medical centers and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab to implement a system-wide trash can liner and receptacle standardization program that will save money and reduce excess plastic use. While not especially glamorous, this initiative highlights the untapped opportunities available to the UC System when we work together for a common cause.
Can liners were identified by the MRO team as the members felt there was an opportunity to quickly agree on standards. The collaboration team includes campus strategic sourcing staff, clients from custodial, food service, and facilities departments, and our system-wide suppliers, CleanSource and Waxie.
The UC system spends more than $2 million annually on can liners and is projected to save $200,000 through this initiative.

I’ve just been staring at “tuning into” the chart for the Full Moon for the past 15 mins. The basics: it’s a Full Moon in Sagittarius opposing the Sun in Gemini. This is the axis of communication, ideas, education, travel, philosophy, space and movement. With the Moon in Sagittarius there should be an optimistic feel, a yearning for adventure, a desire to learn more and discuss.
It’s a Full Moon and an opposition so always a good time to explore the spiders web of relationship!
Jupiter rules Sagittarius, Mercury rules Gemini. Jupiter retrograde and smack bang in the middle of Scorpio at 15 degrees. Go hard and go home! We are really DELVING, potentially stubbornly sticking to old ideas but better to act with integrity. Mercury is at the critical degree of Taurus. Still in a vvvv wide opposition to Jupiter and again in a fixed sign. I think this is the Sun illuminating our ideas about how we are valued, or at least how we feel we are valued. With all lights on the tension between the need for change and but stemming from a huge resistance to change, fresh ideas are GOLD DUST.
Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) is in Taurus, ruled by Venus and she is sitting pretty at the top of the chart making friendly (flirtatious) aspects to Jupiter in Neptune. This grand trine speaks of magical opportunity. ALL ABOARD! The party boat is full of food, voluptuous women and looks very inviting. But Venus is opposing Saturn who is in the corner watching, monitoring and making sure the party doesn’t get out of hand. It’s like having a house party but the parents are in the living room next door… that feeling of youthful abandon is not the same when the parents are in. Even if they don’t leave the room, we all know that they are there! The party boat has an anchor which ensures we don’t all drift out to see on a whimsical dream.
Firstly, for yourself. People will meet you at the standards you accept. If you lower your standards for other people, do what Gemini does best and as yourself WHY? The Full Moon might shine the light in your face, encouraging you to Secondly, as a turbo Sag I learnt that there is no freedom without boundary. Free from WHAT? Free from your past. For sure! The mutable signs of Sagittarius and Gemini love change and do not hold on to the past. Though as I already mentioned Mercury is at 29 Taurus and still clinging to old ideas with admirable strength / staunch stupidity. As the boys used to say to me at Uni, “Fran, get over it! Are you not over it yet?” I mean, easier said than done! So it’s the ability to take what we genuinely value and bring it forward.
Saturn is still at the apex of a Yod from the Sun and the North Node. Our responsibilities shape us. Go forth, understand, and be ready to change your perspective, something that Sagittarius understands happens when you change your surroundings, when you move in other cultures and experience fresh daily existences. Meet, greet, laugh, enjoy, get loud and silly… but know when to eat and go to bed. The Moon is a baby and wants to play but all babies thrive with secure and safe boundaries. Set the limit and explore it to the max.
In all seriousness – this is ripe with opportunity for a bit of a challenge and release to the ways we think, but it requires us to do something. You don’t get to go on the date unless you ask someone out. Do something different and enjoy the ride!

Marcus Franz, a doctor and a former MP in the Austrian parliament, was recently interviewed on the OE24 news channel.
He said he knew of fathers who were giving their daughters headscarves to wear so they could escape sexual harassment from Muslims on the way home.
This is what it has come to. White girls, living in their ancestral homes, are forced to disguise themselves as brown Muslims to escape harassment on the street from weaponised Diversity.
I don’t think I have any discust left in me. I’m all discusted out.
If this is how it is when minorities are 8% of the populace, just imagine our predicament when they’re 20%, then 50%, then 90%! The tolerance they demand of us in 2019 will not be granted to us in 2119 when they’re the majority-and its evident now in other parts of the world. South Africa and parts of the Middle East showcase perfectly what whites and Christians are in for.
And only people like us are trying to warn the world.
Swedish young women are dyeing their blond hair black to escape sexual harassment by the Moslem imports.

If you need to return to Ireland unexpectedly it could cost you thousands of Euro, if you do not have sufficient insurance coverage.

According to the investigation, the man was unable to enter the Metro station because he was caught by the police, reports Khaleej Times.
The Asian sales manager admitted to wearing the women’s clothing because he was following his wife.
He had overheard her saying that morning that she would be meeting her lover at the Al Fahidi Metro station in Dubai.
The man confessed that he bought the clothing when his suspicions were aroused.
He finished work, wore the items in his car, then headed to the Metro station.

Everyone loves a good road trip, and Hastings County provides some great options whether you zig zag along back country roads or stick to a long straight highway to cover more ground, there is plenty to see and do.
We planned to head north on Highway 62 from Belleville, without doing too much research ahead of time, to see what interesting pit stops we would find along the way. The stretch of 62 through Hastings County is about 135 kilometres long and is the main artery, running virtually right down the middle from Belleville to Maynooth.
One day is not nearly enough to see everything but here are our highlights.
Before you get started, don’t forget the staples! A proper road trip does not commence until you have a full tank of gas, a Tim Hortons beverage in the cup holder, and a selfie. Don’t forget to hashtag that selfie #ComeWander and #hastingscounty.
More fuel! It’s breakfast time, and you're hungry. Hit the closest Ma and Pa style diner for some solid eats. Our choice was Heathers Place. Just north of Belleville in the Somerville Centre. This great little spot has all your breakfast classics. The fries are the bomb, and we are also a fan of the Club House Sandwich. We chose the classic Heathers Breakfast and an English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich. Delish!
A random roadside shop! This type of stop could take place anywhere along the way. Highway 62 is littered with eclectic antique shops or semi-permanent “yard sales”. This particular shop is on the corner of Hollowview Rd and Highway 62. It has some outdoor space and a little barn full of antique goods. The cool thing about this place is that it used to function as a blacksmith shop. The friendly owner told us how it’s one of the few that still has a Forge. Very cool stop!
More food! Ivanhoe Cheese Factory is a must. Load up for a picnic or if it's not too early enjoy an ice cream cone. Don't forget the free samples! We find it hard to drive by without grabbing a hot dog. Load it up with all the condiments, and yes, put cheese on it!
After all that food, a walk was needed. We followed the signs to O’Hara Mill Homestead and Conservation Area, just outside the cozy little town of Madoc. It's a beautiful park which includes pioneer buildings, beautiful gardens, a covered bridge, nature trails, sheltered picnic areas and a pond. The pioneer homestead is run by volunteers, and guided tours are available.
Worthy of a mention: no drive down Highway 62 is complete without a stop at the iconic Trudy’s! Sure it's just a gas station and convenience store, but it also has a LCBO and Beer Store inside. It's a good place to fuel up or grab those last minute items before hitting the cottage.
High Tea? This stop was a really neat surprise. Neither of us has ever had the pleasure of enjoying what is referred to as High Tea. But to our delight, we came across a Tea Room in Ormsby. The Old Schoolhouse Tea Room is, you guess it, an old school house converted into a tea room. We met and chatted with the owner, Ernie, who is a retired musician from Toronto. Our arrival at mid-afternoon was perfect timing! We enjoyed a pot of Blueberry Tea and Ginger Ginseng. Looking for the full experience, of course, we ordered the Afternoon Tea, a beautiful platter of mini sandwiches, fresh fruit and baked goods. We give it two pinkies up!
Either before or after your tea you have to check out the Old Hastings Mercantile and Gallery, just a 50-metre walk from the Tea Room. Lots of cool stuff there.
More shopping! We made it to Bancroft. We checked out the Old Tin Shed. A beautiful little shop that sells home decor and giftware, some made by local artists.
We decided to power through Bancroft after only this one stop. We had a plan to make it to Maynooth and wanted to save enough daylight.
If you cover this much ground on a Saturday in Hastings County chances are somewhere, some little town is going to be having an event. Every Labour Day weekend in Maynooth is the annual “Maynooth Madness”. The festival features a farmers market, a pancake breakfast, live music and a parade. We showed up shortly after most of the festivities, although there was still some live music coming from somewhere. We parked the car and let our ears guide us to the Arlington. If you can’t follow the sounds of live music, it’s still not hard to find. Right smack in the middle of small town, Maynooth is this massive purple building. Owned and operated by Ro Munich and his cool team is the famous Arlington. It’s a full bar and live music venue. Only open Friday and Saturday nights, with live music every Saturday. And Ro puts in work to find some interesting and unique talent. The coolest part is this place is also a real deal hostel, backpacker budget accommodation, super cheap but also clean and spacious. Everything you need in a stop before or after your trip into Algonquin Park. We had a pint and took a tour around the place. Locals also suggested samosas at The Samosa Factory.
Bancroft Eatery and Brew Pub. We found a spot on the patio and enjoyed a couple of appetisers.
It was time to head home. We were tempted to make it a two-day event and grab a room at the Arlington. Maybe next time. Hastings County being home to us meant we could also stop and visit some friends along the way. On our trip home we squeezed in a visit just before sunset at Bear Ridge Campground in Coe Hill. Bear Ridge is one of many great campgrounds in Hastings County, it certainly stood out for us as one with amazing lake views, well cared for lots and of course great people.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New York, N.Y. – April 13, 2017 — On Thursday, April 27, 2017 the widow and family of Sharief “AC” Clayton will celebrate his legacy with the launch of his second book “Honor Amongst Thieves II: Center of Gravity”. The event will take place at a private location in New York City from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Books will be available for sale at the event where close family and friends will honor Clayton’s memory.
Only three weeks after finally completing the sequel to his first novel, he was taken away from his family and friends at the hands of gun violence. His wife, Ajana Clayton has vowed to continue to celebrate his life and carry on his legacy as she publishes his final novel and makes it available to his readers who have waited so long.
After 10 years, the wait is finally over. A.C. Clayton is back with the second book of the Honor Amongst Thieves series. “Center of Gravity” proves to be well worth the wait.
Kay-Kay has always had one objective: optimal profit. Now that he has earned unmatched respect in the drug game, Brooklyn’s Godfather has every head in the hood paying their dues. His muscle, a hotheaded homie named Knee, ensures that Kay’s street cred and bank continue to grow. But cash doesn’t come without a price and it can’t buy everything. When Kay’s older brother JB gets home fresh off a bid and chooses a path opposite the hustle, turmoil unfolds that brings Kay’s battles right to his doorstep.
With that turmoil comes Peaches, a heavy hitter from New Jersey who clawed her way to the top. She is finally the general of her own army of dedicated soldiers, and is monopolizing a supply of product to a thirsty clientele. Unlike most of Kay’s adversaries, Peaches isn’t out to dethrone him. Her issue with Kay is much more personal.
Despite power plays, product droughts and turf wars, the game seems to remain the same. That is…until a string of murders changes it drastically. And none of the usual suspects have a clue who the new player is.
“Honor Amongst Thieves Book II: Center of Gravity” is sold through the Amenta Publication Website (www.amentapub.com), Amazon and Barnes and Noble in both paperback and e-book format.
About the Author: A.C. Clayton was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Clayton travelled the country speaking extensively on the perils of mass incarceration, as well as, working with troubled teens that precariously flirt with recidivism. On April 27, 2015 he was murdered while attending a childhood friend’s funeral. He left behind a wife, four children and a host of family and friends who continue to speak of his legacy.


text: Clinical Research is expanding into an international and more regulated environment, specifically its quality management. Pharmaceuticals and Research Organizations are investing significant amounts of money as well as the regulatory agencies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) are improving and developing regulations and meetings to standardize globally these practices. Therefore this Thesis integrates and extends the FDA and EMA recommendation of implementing “Risk based quality management” in Clinical Research protocol execution with a multisource point of view and the proposal of adding a Risk Management Report as an output, which will work also as an input for future protocols implementation. Diverse articles and regulations related with Quality Management and Clinical Research Processes were reviewed to work as a base for the analysis of this thesis. Risk Based Quality Management is the actual trend and newly implemented process to improve quality in clinical research. The goal of this Thesis is to combine the different actual factors, methods and regulations in order to expand Risk Based Quality Management and reach a better degree in quality and standardization. The question therefore is whether this redesigned Risk Based Quality Management process can really be incorporated with the actual practices, and if it is possible to adopt it in Clinical Research.

Signode pneumatic tensioners take most of the effort out of strapping large or compressible packages. They also make tensioning uniform and precise through adjustment of the air pressure regulator. All pneumatic tensioners, except theWP-2, have unlimited strap take-up. All pneumatic tensioners are furnished with a quick-disconnect plug.
It is essential that an air filter-regulator-lubricator assembly be installed ahead of the tool on the air line. Please contact us for pneumatic tool accessories.
Signode pneumatic sealers let compressed air do most of the work. They are used to achieve high production on heavy strapping, especially when seals are in awkward positions or whenever productivity must be maximized.
These labor-saving sealers come in two basic styles. Those featuring pistol grips are lightweight for easy one-hand operation. Diaphragm types are for heavier-duty applications, such as carloading.
All pneumatic sealers are furnished with a quick-disconnect plug. An air filter and regulator are necessary.
A lubricator in the air line is not required. Contact us for pneumatic tool accessories and to help you configure a new system.
** Three seals are required per joint.

This report completed a literature review of the major studies that had been done on the workplace exposure to nanomaterials. It reviewed processes for the deliberate development and manufacture of nanoparticle products and considered the sources of exposure, levels of exposures, numbers exposed, knowledge gaps and future trends. The authors of the report concluded that the four main groups of nanoparticle products may potentially result in exposure by inhalation, dermal, or digestion routes and that little is known about the current level of exposure. The report concludes that not enough is known for risk assessment purposes for exposure to nanoparticles in the workplace.

With the Holidays quickly approaching I wanted to share a great appetizer idea!
Formaggio Italian Cheese makes delicious marinated mozzarella balls. You can find them at most major retailers. I love Formaggio brand cheese products because they make the best mozzarella I have ever tasted. It is also fresh and handmade with high quality ingredients.
Their marinated mozzarella balls make a great appetizer. Simply place on a skewer along with some tomatoes and maybe even some basil and tortellini and you have a very beautiful and delicious appetizer for your guests.

I spent most of the day wistfully thinking back to when I was a child, which lead me to thinking about where all the time has gone, which lead me to thinking about all those who came before us whose memories have faded away, which lead me to thinking about the long stretches of time that goes in between seeing my family, which lead me to thinking about the wrinkles and age spots I see on my parent’s skin, which lead me to thinking about my own gray hairs and spiderweb wrinkles around my eyes that will only multiply with age, which lead me to thinking about my once vivacious adopted grandfather who is suffering from Alzheimer’s and is alone in a care facility where he idly watches the clock tick, which lead me to thinking about my beautiful grandmother whose legs are making it difficult to walk, which lead me to looking at pictures of when we were all younger and happy. The pictures of my adopted grandfather squeezing my grandmother tightly as they dance at my cousin’s wedding. The pictures of my mother and I on our various adventures. The pictures of me, my mom and my dad before our family fell apart.
The emotional toll of looking at our former lives and then thinking of what the future holds became unbearable and I opted to go to sleep, even though I didn’t want to.
I wanted nothing more than to sleep the holiday away and wake up to a new day of strategically avoiding certain thoughts.
I envy those who do not dwell on the past.
Sorry to bum y’all out.
Do you feel funky on holidays?
It’s not usually holidays that do it to me. Oddly, it’s Sunday afternoons when the funk creeps in for me. In that depressed state, I do some of my best writing.
I definitely feel kind of a funk on holidays, especially when friends take that opportunity to come visit. It’s always kind of bittersweet for me.
