Sound—more than smell, taste, or even sight—has a unique power to move us. Zimoun, the Swiss installation artist, makes it his business to exploit it. You'd be amazed at how spooky the sound of a few cotton balls hitting a wall can be.
Zimoun uses simple, cheaply-bought materials, like cardboard boxes, cotton balls, and pieces of string, which he animates using hundreds of DC motors. His latest soundscape was installed in an empty water tower in an industrial park in Dottikon, Switzerland. The piece—sensibly titled 329 prepared dc-motors, cotton balls, toluene tank—is exactly what it says it is: several hundred compact cotton balls, each attached to a simple DC motor. When the lights in the space go on and the installation whirs to life, it blankets the space in a droning, uncanny rhythm.
In sound to create space, but also in sound which somehow is inhabiting a room and interacting with it. In three-dimensional sound structures as well as in a spatial experience and exploration of sound. Sound to create somehow static sound architectures that can be entered and explored acoustically. Similar like walking around in a building.

Do you wonder why the game of soccer is so popular around the world? Are you interested in finding out the secrets of why soccer is so wonderful? Do you want to know how the game is played? If so, read this article to learn of the ins and outs of soccer.
When a defender is rapidly approaching, pass the ball away. Maintain ball control and advance safely. Pass as soon as defenders have closed in on you. This technique allows the player a few extra seconds before the defense gets to them.
If you want to be on the principal soccer team, show how combative you are. Stay active and get involved in every aspect of the game. Show the coach your devotion to the team, and you will increase the chances you will be selected.
Learn to use all of the surfaces on your foot when you play soccer. In order to dribble fast, you should use the instep and front of your foot. To be a skilled dribbler, the ability to use the outside and inside of your foot is a must. This will allow you to control the ball, no matter where the defensive pressure is.
You have to wear the correct shoes when playing soccer. Sneakers or football cleats do not work. Choosing the wrong shoes may lead to injury.
Don’t be overly confident when you are on the soccer field. Even though you are a good player, unexpected things can always happen. Too much confidence could cause you to make a costly mistake.
To be in good soccer shape you should run at least three miles every day. You have to have good cardio fitnes, as soccer requires continuous running. By running three miles every day, you will help build your endurance and stamina. You can make running more interesting by picking different locations.
Succeeding with your team relies heavily on communication. You cannot find a better winning strategy. When a spot opens up, communicate to the player holding the ball. Use soccer terms to let your teammate know what you plan to do. An example would be saying through which means to go through two defenders so they can get the pass.
Triangulation is the best tactic for breaking defense of the other team. One way to help break up a tight defense is to quickly pass the ball to a teammate. To get through tight fields, work on effective passes and a team effort that is combined. Get ready to help your teammates who are doing similarly.
Watching a soccer match will help you figure out many of the nuances of the game. This can help you understand the rules better and it lets you see how a game should be played. While it doesn’t replace actual practice time, it’s essential to bettering your game and using what you’ve learned on the field.
Winning is about adopting a positive attitude. Believing in the ability of your team and yourself gives the confidence needed to make the shots and passes, as well as mounting an effective defense against your opponent. When you have a positive attitude, you’re able to cheer your team to success.
Learn how to approach soccer with confidence. The highest hurdle is hesitation. Try staying in an attacking and offensive mindset. Once you gain control of the soccer ball, your main focus should be getting it down the field as fast as possible.
Learn what you’re doing wrong so you can improve your game. One way to do this is to videotape games. This will give you the chance to review it and see where you may need improvement. You might notice that you do not approach the ball properly or are not controlling your passes like you should.
Smaller balls should be used to practice with. Using a smaller ball will help you improve you handling technique. You need to practice passing the ball, as well as making goals. When you are capable of expertly maneuvering and manipulating a small ball, the larger soccer ball will be much easier to handle.
Guards for your shins are created from many different materials. The level of protection offered by the guards depends a lot on the material. They can be plastic or polyurethane, which is the upper end. As protection increases, so does price. Plastic shin guards are designed for smaller children. As players get stronger, protection should also get stronger.
Several types of shin guards are available, so know which form you’d like to use. Many players prefer using shin guards that attach with Velcro. With velcro, you can easily attach or remove the shin guards during a game or practice. Additionally, velcro allows players to vary how tight the shin guard attaches to the leg.
You need to know all of the rules of you want to be a good soccer player. There are lots of books at your local library that will let you know how it is played. There are also many great online tutorials that list the rules of the game for every level of soccer play.
When taking a free shot, where you place your non kicking foot is vital for success. It should be parallel to the ball and about six to nine inches from it. You should put your weight on the foot you’re using for standing. Bend your knee and turn your foot to a right angle. Don’t forget to lock your ankle when you take the shot.
The mouth guard is an extremely important protection tool. Though most kids don’t want to wear these, they’re even more important than cleats! They keep the mouth and teeth safe from harm. They don’t cost much, are simple to use and are important for keeping your child safe.
Now that you have read this article, soccer is no longer a confusing game. To have a better understanding of the game of soccer and to fully appreciate why so many around the world are in love with this sport, you should be educated on the game. Remember this information at the next soccer match.

Who knows if he's still bitter over losing?
Thirty years after he sued the NFL, President Donald Trump stood on the White House lawn Wednesday and praised the New England Patriots for their incredible Super Bowl comeback.
Maybe the president is still a little resentful of the league that destroyed his chance at being a football owner.
Trump bought the New Jersey Generals in 1983, a team that was part of the failed United States Football League. He came in as an owner during the second season, just as the league was beginning to lose money and fans.
The USFL, which was founded amid a 1982 NFL lockout, played its games in the spring and aimed to be more fun and less strict than the NFL. But game ratings dropped almost immediately following its first season, after NFL games returned. If the USFL wanted to move from spring to fall in order to try for better ratings, it would have to challenge the NFL head-on for television rights. So Trump led the league’s ownership into a fatal lawsuit.
“[He was] the best thing that ever happened to the USFL, and two years later he was the worst thing that ever happened to the USFL,” Charley Steiner, former Generals radio personality, told Esquire.
Trump and Ray Cohn, his attorney at the time of his league's antitrust lawsuit.
Trump led the owners to sue the competition in a $1.7 billion dollar antitrust lawsuit that eventually bankrupted the entire league, which had already lost $200 million in its first year.
The jury did agree that the NFL held a monopoly over the television market for football, but the courts didn’t support claims that the USFL’s only issue was the monopoly.
So the USFL was awarded just $3 in damages, bankrupting the ownership group while the NFL moved on.
“That’s unfortunate, because I think the USFL had developed its own little following and (some) teams would still be here if they would have just left it in the spring,” Young told USA Today.
Donald Trump holds a football helmet given to him by New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

I was given this list of investments that would generate $24k annual income on $180k investment and thought I would share.
Do you realize that investments that provide a 13.33% yield are expected to be very risky/speculative?
Have you looked at any of the long term charts on those ticker symbols? Can you handle that kind of roller-coaster ride, and risk of loss of capital? I can't.
Would a stock screener with criteria "Yield > 11%" come up with a similar set of ticker symbols? What else makes these special?
I only looked a few of these up but it looks like they are all CEFs. Anyway, yes you can do this even easier using a fund of fund of CEFs. I know of two ETFs and one CEF that are fund of funds (i.e. FOF).
CEFs have high payouts because they use leverage and also usually pay out return of capital at least some of them time. CEFs cover just about every sector of the investing world. So you do have diversification. Your still pretty vulnerable on the leverage though.
There are also a few specific sectors that have very high yields right now (MLPs, mortgage REITs, business development companies, shipping).
REITs and BDCs pay a high yield because they have tax breaks when paying out 90% of income (not double taxed). MLPs are setup as partnerships and not c-corps so they also have a tax incentive for paying out almost all income. I'm not sure why shipping companies have such high yields other than the sector has been beaten down to heck. Most of the shipping companies are c-corps.
If you look at the dividend history IMHO the best deal right now is with the MLPs as they are consistent dividend growers. The other options have high payout but the income is variable and I'd only expect it to grow over long periods like 10 years.
I think now is a good time to use leverage. I don't think interest rates can be raised much at all and I expect they will stay relatively flat for years. My "base case" is for long term stagnation similar to Japan's lost decades (and still going).
Some of these are preferred stocks. These are below junk rated "equity bonds". Meaning they are paying this money on dividends, because their capital structure is so poor they cannot access the debt market or banks with better yields. Usually they have that area tapped out. If they run low on cash the bond holders can get paid, and you get stiffed.
These are high risk...Many times you do get your 11% dividend but the stock price dropped 20%.
When buying some of these either "ignorance is bliss" or be an expect on financials... No free lunch... Either way, having more than 10% of your stash in these may be asking for big trouble. I own a lot of preferreds but safe ones, thus lower yields in 6% range... I prefer preferreds from companies like one I own that earned $300 million after taxes, and only owed $6 million in dividends from that.... About a 50-1 coverage ratio...For me life is too short to worry about something that may blow up and not even know why it did.
Yes, I know they are high risk. It was an example of how to generate $24k income on $180k investment. No, I wouldn't do this but posted it for example and discussion.
Gotta have "O"---Where is it?
I've taken periodic baths with PSEC, but all is calm --for now.
Like you, I wouldn't do this.
Likewise, I wouldn't go down to Harrah's on the riverfront here in New Orleans, and put $180K on red or black.
I'm retired, and gambling like that with my retirement money would be stupid for me to do. Others may have the wherewithal to do such foolhardy things, but I don't.
"With risk comes reward" as they say, but if one builds a bigger nestegg one can get a nice comfortable income in retirement despite lower risk investments.
I did not study the list, but it is definitely the case that some yields go high because they are not expected to be sustained. Can you say Greek bonds?
I wonder... if one bought these in the recommended proportion on 3/22/06 what would your inception to date return have been?
I can pick a day too. How about any of the Pimco cef,s on 4/1/2009(april fools day). Except for PCI it wasn't around yet.
Duh. Today - 3/22/06 ~ ??.
They are investments that can make people money if they know what they are doing and are a bit fortunate. The people who know what they are doing and understand these issues would not be the people I would worry about. Its the ones who look at it and say... "10% income, wow that is a great yield; I am buying me a slug of these!"
My definition of high yield is 6%. I am getting 6% plus return on investment grade issues. Investment grade bonds yield almost half of that. So, I think the value and "high income" is in these issues... Though obviously lower in rank than senior bonds, the net income coverage ratio is so high, risk is very minimal. The 2 biggest risks are extended 6% plus inflation and being called. I can handle those risks.
I couldn't find EITHX but the other 2 do not appear to get you close to that yield based on Morningstar. If I am not mistaken you are using total distribution yield for past year. The true 30 day yield is 3.41% and 3.27%... This is a more accurate portrayal of what inside issues are recently yielding. These appear to be conservative funds, but the expense ratios of over 70 basis points is a killer for that 30 day yield. If I am not mistaken that is then extracted after the stated yield. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
But the TTM yield and 30 day SEC yield can both be distorting so it is hard for me to know either way for certain.. But those Exp. ratios are just killers in a low rate environment.
That should be ETHIX, load waived at Fidelity.
I'm going by what Morningstar says when I create a portfolio of the above amounts, 5.77% yield.
Not criticizing, this is just me and my personal preference only on what I do, but ETHIX has a 6.35% TTM and 30 day SEC yield of 5.07% with a demoralizing 90 basis point expense ratio. The fund has 56% of issues in B or lower rated bonds... That is in the muddy drinking water area of bonds. At nearly same TTM I can get investment grade preferred stocks from companies with A rated bonds, with no expense ratio being siphoned ($4.95 trade) off, and 15% QDI, in an area that has never had a default (public traded electrical utilities).
It just seems like better value and risk/reward to me. But I definitely note your 20% limit threshold, though in buying them.
I don't want to buy individual stocks. Not comfortable with it and don't want to spend time on it.
I did check in Morningstar data where I was getting info from so my info is apples to apples comparison... The expense ratio is included in performance of fund. That is good for you. I certainly understand why you would want to stick with funds. That is why I said it was just my personal preference as I am probably in minority by far.

What Do Integrators Need to Know about DisplayPort 1.4?
I had a chance to connect recently with Marques Girardelli, manager of electronics platforms at Planar and Leyard for an in-depth discussion on connectivity trends. We started with the basics: DisplayPort 1.4.
Wait a minute. What happened to DisplayPort 1.3?
Adoption of DisplayPort 1.2 was relatively slow, as technology challenges hindered the implementation of the higher bandwidth. With DisplayPort 1.3, although many chip manufacturers are working to add support for the new features, adoption has faced similar challenges. The DisplayPort 1.4 standard release further complicated efforts to bring DisplayPort 1.3 to market. The good news is that DisplayPort 1.4 doesn’t increase the overall transmission bandwidth, meaning that all of the work done on DisplayPort 1.3 will be carried forward. Consequently, the market will jump from DisplayPort 1.2 to 1.4, skipping DisplayPort 1.3 entirely. So, now that you know all about DisplayPort 1.3, you can forget it.
What are the new features in DisplayPort 1.4?
(b) play catch up with HDMI 2.0.
To match the HDMI 2.0 feature set, support for 32-channel audio and HDR was included. However, the biggest change is the addition of a visually lossless compression scheme called Display Stream Compression, or DSC. By performing light compression on the video data, the bandwidth can be increased by up to 3x, enough to support 8K @ 60Hz. Expect to see DisplayPort 1.4 products with DSC support starting in 2017 or 2018. However, most of the benefits of DisplayPort 1.4 won’t be realized without an 8K display.
It is important to note that DisplayPort technology can’t achieve the same cable lengths that HDMI can. At full bandwidth, expect to only get 2-3 meters of performance, with some source/display combinations working up to 5 meters. If a long cable run is necessary, consider a cable extension solution, such as a fiber optic cable.

On February 13rh, after 18 days of unrest, local Egyptians from Western Australia joined others worldwide who have long opposed President Hosni Mubarak. There was drumming, dancing, singing and lots of sweet treats. It was a wonderful atmosphere filled with joy and laughter. Game over, Mubarak.
In Sydney on February 12th, what was scheduled to be another rally in support of the Egyptian people's revolution against the hated Mubarak dictatorship turned into a spontaneous celebration after the hated dictator was toppled overnight. As on sign declared: "Congratulations Egypt - never underestimate people Power".
The San Francisco Indymedia site (www.indybay.org) has published a translated nine page Guide to intelligent protesting, which was distributed widely on the streets of Egypt. The guide shows how to non-violently defend yourself from riot police. As this Blog article states, we shouldn't just be cheering on the Egyptian revolution but learning from it.
In a story that is yet to be covered by the Australian mainstream press, al Jazeera has published an excerpt from Mamdouh Habib's memoirs which details in horrific details how when Habib had been "rendered" to Egypt for torture, "At one point, his interrogator slapped him so hard that his blindfold was dislodged, revealing the identity of his tormentor: Suleiman.". Habib then went on to describe how "Frustrated that Habib was not providing useful information or confessing to involvement in terrorism, Suleiman ordered a guard to murder a shackled prisoner in front of Habib, which he did with a vicious karate kick.". Mamdoub Habib was in Egupt after being sent to the U.S. through its "extraaordinary rendition" program which involved people being kidnapped and sent to to countries to be tortured for intelligence purposes. What does the Australian government have to say about U.S. attempts to have Suleiman installed as Mubarak's replacement and why is the Australian press virtually silent on this shocking Australian connection? The answers reveal the levels of both U.S. and Australian duplicity, hypocrisy and violence in its relations to the Arab world whilst they dare to talk of democracy and human rights.
Suleiman: The CIA's man in Cairo -- Imperialism and Egypt's democratic transition -- Supporters of freedom, right?
Fellow great Egyptian citizens ... We are your daughters, your brothers and sisters who are protesting in Tahrir square and other squares of Egypt, promise you not to go back to our homes until the demands of your great revolution are realized.

There will be more of Microsoft app for Samsung Android devices pre-installed in the coming days. This will be a new beginning for the two mega players in the industry. The announcement regarding Microsoft apps on Samsung devices has come from the US-based software company.
Microsoft and Samsung will be joining hands in a attempt to providing mobile output services to more and more customers and users. This partnership will see Samsung pre-installing Microsoft apps on their Android devices. The Microsoft app for Samsung will help in securing productivity for their business.
The apps for business can be used with Samsung KNOX Business Pack as well as with Microsoft Office 365.
Samsung OneNote will be one of the devices in the Microsoft app for Samsung program. Apart from that there will also be OneDrive that will have 100GB of supplementary free cloud storage. The validity of which will be two years.
We had recently discussed about Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in the upcoming gadgets segment. And Samsung has also included these two latest devices for Microsoft app for Samsung. Both these devices will have Skype pre-installed.
Some of the other apps that will be seen on various Samsung devices are Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. There will also be OneDrive, OneNote, and Skype but only on selected Android tablets brought out by Samsung.
Samsung devices that are used for businesses and are bought through dedicated channels for Office apps. Videoconferencing, calendar and emails are some of the Microsoft app for Samsung.
As far as the KNOX Business Pack is concerned, it offers the consumers to jump between business and personal options pretty easily on the devices. And yes, there is also total security. So, there is the option of switching between personal and business along with safety.
Samsung needs a partnership with a company like Microsoft as it battles with Apple on the legal fronts regarding copyright infringements. Though Apple had succeeded in banning some products from Samsung in the United States, they could not apply a permanent ban.

One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn’t really all that hard – a real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it. Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experience.
lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation.
Reverend Billy Bob spoke next.. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip. In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he claimed, ‘WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don’t sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God’s HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb..We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus…Hallelujah!

Making choices that save energy -- in your home, business or community -- can have a positive impact on the environment while also saving you money. In this section of our website, CCE-Schuyler has compiled resources that can help you learn about ways you can reduce energy consumption and use energy resources more efficiently.
For more basic information on what energy is, where it comes from, and how we use it visit: EIA Energy Explained (US Energy Information Administration).
For information about how New York State uses energy, visit: EIA New York Profile and Quick Facts.
Municipalities in other counties also have access to these resources. Reach out to Energy Educator Terry Carroll at CCE of Tompkins County for more information.
Solar energy is simply energy derived from the sun, which we can then convert to electricity or thermal energy. Since sunlight is relatively infinite, solar energy is one of our most promising renewable resources.

The first Natibaby release of the year!
The clovers design has become a favorite of many and we're happy to see it brought into the new year.
Sunset Clovers is jacquard weave woven in red, orange and white threads.
Many of us baby our wraps when it comes to washing. Hemp is one fabric that does not need to be overly babied. Hemp is dense and fibrous. It is an incredibly strong, durable fabric.
Many people prefer to wash in warm or hot water and tumble dry on warm or high heat. I do dry my hemp on medium heat and then remove it when damp to air dry. A good steam ironing will also help the breaking in process.
Please use common sense when washing and drying your hemp wraps. A wash and dry on warm is what we recommend for hemp wraps; please do not throw your hemp wrap in the dryer on the hottest setting and dry it for several hours. Hemp is dense and fibrous, but using excess heat can potentially damage the fibers in your wrap.

Production Manufacturing | Pentaflex INC. Production Manufacturing | Pentaflex INC.
Pentaflex has a wide range of traditional mechanical presses for production manufacturing that range from 75 tons to 1600 tons of capacity. The bed sizes are up to 180” x 72”. Many of our mechanical presses are equipped with coil feeders that are capable of handling material up to .500 thick. The larger mechanical presses are equipped with state of the art transfer systems that utilize blank feeders for higher volume runs. Of course Pentaflex has a number of smaller mechanical presses that are used for secondary operations.
From the very early days of their production manufacturing, Pentaflex has used hydraulic presses in a production setting. With tonnage up to 2300 tons, Pentaflex’s hydraulic presses are ideal for deep drawn and highly formed applications. While not the fastest presses, the hydraulic press can do in a single stroke what many would need to do in multiple operations. Please visit the video section of the site to see hydraulic presses in action.
Pentaflex has recently invested in the latest in press technology by acquiring two new servo presses from our partner Aida Press Technology. Both presses, a 330 ton and a 694 ton, are installed and operational. The servo press offers the speed of a traditional mechanical press, as well as the ability to make adjustments during the stroke such as dwell on bottom, or re-strike. When utilized with the right tooling, servo presses can produce parts that traditional presses are unable to match. Both presses are coupled with servo-feeders that allow Pentaflex to process thinner gauge material.
Pentaflex employs resistance welder and hard automated and robotic gas metal ARC welders to produce sub-assemblies and fabrications.
Pentaflex utilizes the latest in CNC machining centers to provide close tolerance dimensions on critical components.
Pentaflex can source and manage various purchased components such as grease fittings, bushing and O rings to be used in the production of sub-assemblies that incorporate stampings from the press department. Automated equipment is used to assemble the components into a sub-assembly or finished product.

Frog is changing the rules... Dogs no longer sit on Frogs. Phew! Dogs now sit on logs – and everyone else is going to have to sit somewhere different too. Will cats want to sit on gnats? Will dragons like sitting on wagons? Will whales be happy to sit on nails? And, most importantly, where is frog going to sit?
Frog is fed up of being sat on by Dog. So he decides to change the rules. Not just for Dog, but for EVERYONE! So all the animals get someone or something new to sit on; from slugs to leopards, from crickets to whales, there’s a new rule for all. But what or who will Frog end up sitting on?!
‘Oi Dog!’ is the brilliant sequel to the equally brilliant ‘Oi Frog!’. Colourful and entertaining, it is a great story to read aloud, showing the wonder of rhyming words. You’ve got to love a tale that features ‘cheetahs on fajitas’ and ‘gnus on canoes’! The fantastically expressive illustrations capture the animals varying reactions to their new ‘seats’ perfectly; some surprised, some distinctly unimpressed and some very uncomfortable. Will pigs like sitting on wigs?! Will flies enjoy sitting on pies?! All the animals find themselves with new places to sit, amounting to a hilarious story that will have children in stitches.
Shortlisted for the Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Awards, ‘Oi Dog’ is deal for children learning to read, as well as those who are just discovering the magic of books. And grown-ups will enjoy it too!

Here you can see the actual sizes of 1ct Marquise (10.38×5.19×3.17mm) and 1ct Princess (5.51×5.51×3.97mm) as they would appear on a ring and finger.
1 carat Marquise (10.38×5.19×3.17mm) has approx. 26% more face-up area than 1 carat Princess (5.51×5.51×3.97mm).
The face-up size of this 1 carat Marquise (10.38×5.19×3.17mm) is within the normal range for 1ct diamonds of this shape. Compared to 1ct Marquise reference diamond (see below), this diamond is of adequate size when viewed from the top. In short, all is OK, this diamond looks its weight.
Proper face-up size should play an important role when buying a diamond. When a diamond is set in a ring, your eyes will only see the face-up area, so you should make sure it's of adequate size. Adequate size also indicates a good cut, meaning better light performance. For example, if given a choice between a poorly cut 1 carat Marquise with less sparkle and the same face-up size as a well cut 0.9ct Marquise, which one would you choose?

Well, I am slept, showered, fed with multiple desirable breakfast items and about to brush my teeth, so I thought I would nip on here to share that with you.
About ten minutes earlier I had been in my bed, above the venue, snatching some precious last minute sleep. I awoke with a tremor in my bones which I took to the enormous stage. The venue, UT Connewitz, is an old cinema. With cinema seating, decorative crumbling decor and a high reverberating ceiling, it is a very atmospheric room.
My set consisted of almost entirely new songs. I don’t usually like making things easy for my self. I was generally fairly pleased with how it went, though I officially hate tuning my guitar. I tried to speak slowly between songs, but I had nothing really to say, so I felt a bit awkward.
The following band Digger Barnes were great. What was particularly exciting was that the singer is German but performs entirely as an American gentleman of the deep south. The picture you can see above was from my soundcheck and you can see a rather strange contraption that looks like something from Twin Peaks or even Lost. In fact it was a spinning device with characters heads from his songs, lit up to provide added atmosphere. Unfortunately they took it away during my set, I would have enjoyed it.
Sons of Noel and Adrian were a tired bunch after Digger Barne’s rather long set. It was after 11pm before we made it to the stage. A few hilarious technical brain hitches from Jacob, some crackling noises that shouldn’t have been on stage and the odd bum beat from myself made for a shaky but nevertheless thrilling start to the tour. First one is out of the way. We are gonna blooming rock it tonight.
Our German booking agent, The Excellent Dennis, is joining us til Sunday. As he puts it, it is nice to be on tour.
So let us go, everyone is about to go for a walk. I best join em.

Hey, jazztruth readers. Long time no see. Did you miss me?
First up: I'm certain everyone knows about the horrible devastation in Japan, which is a country that almost every jazz musician I know holds dear in their heart. I've toured Japan at least 15 times. Japan is my favorite country to travel to, and the recent tragedy there is heartbreaking. I pray for better days and recovery for this great nation.
I was scheduled for a trio performance at Aqua Books in Winnipeg this Saturday. Bassist Steve Kirby and drummer Quincy Davis were scheduled to join me. At the last minute, Kelly Hughes, the proprietor of Aqua Books, asked me if we could turn the trio performance into a benefit for Japan. I heartily agreed, and so did Kirby and Davis. So if you are in Winnipeg and you want to support Japan and also hear some great jazz, come down to Aqua Books on Saturday, March 26th. We start at 8pm and most likely will do two sets. Brazilian guitar wizard Marco Castillo will join us. All proceeds will go to help Japanese victims of the earthquake and tsunami.
This past weekend, I was thrilled to get a chance to play with the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Richard Gillis, who is also the trumpet professor at the University of Manitoba. I was honored that Gillis asked if they could play a few of my big band charts. They played two of my arrangements; Charlie Parker's " Segment" and Herbie Hancock's "Wiggle Waggle". I had absolutely no complaints.
It was also great to finally get to perform with special guest Rufus Reid. I was a student at the Banff Summer Jazz Workshop in 1990 when I first met Reid; I was a mediocre trumpet student who was thinking of switching to piano at the time. I remembered,when Reid coached my ensemble, how generous with praise he was, and how also he was able to get us to visualize the music so quickly. Reid hasn't lost any of his touch in twenty-some years. He brought a stack of big band charts which were challenging and fun to play. It was great to hear his superb quarter-note beat as well as bask in the beauty of his gorgeous lyrical bass solos. Reid has a way of making one feel like a long-lost friend. It's a joy to play music with someone like this.
Finally, I was even more thrilled last week to hear one of my students, native Winnipeger Paul De Gurse, give his third year recital. Paul has been studying with me for two solid years. Paul already had a lot of ability when we first started. Our main issues during these two years have been rhythm/time feel, touch(using weight), phrasing, learning tunes, composition, and solo transcription/analysis. Paul is a good student, but at times, I was frustrated, and I know that Paul was as well.
Is this diminished scale or altered?

I have a deployment error. It's a legit error. k- great.
Could we please have deployment errors also listed in the MESSAGES tab?
I'm also assuming that all errors get listed FIRST in the MESSAGES/TESTS tabs .... so it's easy to see/find those, first.
You should be able to see this failed deployment in the Deployments tab for the project. However I agree that having it in the Messages tab would make it easier to connect specific deployment error with a specific build. We did not think about this approach. What we plan is to add an option to make Environment deployments synchronous, so build will wait for environment deployment to finish and fail is deployment failed. Would be a better option for you? Also for now you can add a notification at Environment level so you got notified by other means (email, Slack etc.).
Nope - it's not listed in there, either. It's not an environmental deployment .. but a webdeploy that's inline in the yml file.
What we plan is to add an option to make Environment deployments synchronous Currently, they are async .. which is why we are not using them (refer to point, above). So making this change would be lovely!
Also for now you can add a notification at Environment level so you got notified by other means (email, Slack etc.).
Not sure how this could help us right now. An example might be able to explain, bettter.
Sorry, I did not pay enough attention to your screenshot. If this is a webdeploy that's inline in the yml file, then build should fail in case deployment failed, right?
correct. and it did fail.
it was trying to figure out 'what happened', easily. I would have thought that, clicking on the MESSAGES tab, which would easily show all ERRORS at the top would be a great and quick way to triage the errored-build.
Instead, i'll have to scroll down (and it's a REALLY big scroll list for our builds) to find the error. Luckily in this case it was pretty simple -> error at the bottom of the file.
We are thinking of ability to collapse build steps in UI, will this help?

I can’t make it to Toronto’s this year –shocking, I know, don’t even remind me– but I thought I could join in the fun by doing one of the things I like best, writing.
PDAC is by far the most exciting, lively and useful mining conference I’ve been, and I have been to quite a few. The best part is EVERYONE goes there –granted, except some Australians–, depending on the year and budgets, 20,000 to 25,000 people are there for 4 days; so even if you don’t set up a meeting beforehand (which you should, of course), chances are you’ll run into someone interesting while walking to a meeting, attending a conference, riding a cab, or going to one of the many social functions. I’ve gotten great, long term assignments in the past by just running into someone I had lost contact with.
This past year has been tough for our sector. Completed M&A in 2015 accounted for only $54b, the lowest since 2003. But, as an optimist, I can’t help but think things will be improving this year. I already see some signs, and I am hopeful.
Latin America will be this edition’s sweetheart, with lots of interest in the region. Several delegations will be present, promoting mining in their countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru have official presence. I will be posting all the events related to these and other Latin American countries so make sure you follow me on LinkedIn or Twitter.
More (aspiring) small producers, as Canadian juniors keep moving from the pure explorer model to producer. Red Eagle Mining (TSX-V:RD) is on such a quest.
More juniors becoming toll mill operators, in a bid for accessing easy cash flow and enticing investors looking for safer options. One example of this model is Inca One (TSX-V:IO).
Several private equity funds on the lookout for undervalued mines in operation. Again Latin America is high in the list of priorities, although Africa will do well too, especially with the latest Survey of Mining Companies from the Fraser Institute.
The suppliers that attend are probably the stronger ones so they are doing well. Expect them to have invested a reasonable amount in some parties. Not much merchandising and souvenirs in the booths though… that proved too frivolous for marketing budgets now, so got reduced severely last year.
What’s your take? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I will post an update the week after, we’ll see if we are right!

Many people can manage a vacation or two to the shore each year for some getaway time. However, the super-rich who love the sun and sand have a different agenda: They want to visit the best beaches in the world.
These exotic destinations feature little-known atolls and private islands, but they have two things in common: amazing beaches and high prices.
Click through to see the beautiful beaches that are ridiculously expensive.
Widely regarded as one of the best hotels in the world, especially for honeymooners, the Four Seasons Bora Bora is a dreamy collection of thatched-roof bungalows and villas perched above crystal clear light blue water. Reserve the three-bedroom beachfront villa estate for an average of $17,828 per night to enjoy a private white-sand beach, private swimming pool and excellent sunset views. Once you've had your fill of couple time, you can either make new friends or invite old ones to join you on Dream Yacht Charter's Langoon 620, which fits 12 passengers and goes for a cool $35,280 per night, to whisk you around the South Pacific islands.
See why Bora Bora is one of the hottest celebrity vacation spots of all time.
The Pink Sands Club on the tiny island of Canouan bills itself as "unashamedly romantic and wickedly glamorous." Built for $126 million, the resort has only 26 suites and six villas. Prices start at $2,300 per night in high season for a single room. The resort's residences are scattered around the 1,200-acre property — one villa is a sprawling, nine-bedroom estate that rents for around $20,000 per night. Guests can enjoy a world-class spa, a Jim Fazio-designed golf course with waterfront views from all 18 holes, three tennis courts, fitness facilities and charter boats. They can also enjoy gourmet cuisine in eateries ranging from informal to high-end. The prices might be high, but the hotel view is certainly worth the money.
Calivigny Island sits just off the south coast of Grenada in the Antilles. This spectacular island resort belongs to French billionaire businessman Georges Cohen. For $140,000, you and up to 49 of your friends can move in and enjoy a luxury vacation for 24 hours. Note that there is a seven-day minimum stay. Gourmet meals, prepared by private chefs, are included in the rental rate. Other perks include maid, laundry and security service, plus a full array of water sports and activities and private car and boat transfer to and from Grenada airport. The resort's main residence boasts Persian carpets and furniture designed by Oscar de la Renta and Richard Frinier. Five luxury villas offer sweeping views of the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans.
Stay at the legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc, which has been playing host to the likes of Winston Churchill and Pablo Picasso since 1887 and still epitomizes the glamour of the jazz age French Riviera. The immaculate tennis courts, pools and the hotel itself are perched on a cliff over the Mediterranean. The suite on the top floor will set you back about $9,600 per night. The resort is a short 15-minute drive to Monaco, where you can gamble in style.
Ringing in at a whopping $44,000 per night, the Hilltop Estate at the Laucala Island Resort in Fiji is accessible only by private road, and renting it requires approval from the private island's owner, meaning not just anyone with the cash to spare can come. If you make the cut, you'll enjoy total seclusion, sweeping views and a private pool with waterfall. When you want a little more civilization, the resort has five restaurants and spa treatments on demand. Even if a vacation in Fiji is expensive, it's a life-changing trip that is worth the cost.
Capri has long been a favorite destination of sophisticated and wealthy Europeans and comes with price tags to match. The impeccable service and sweeping views of the Amalfi Coast help justify the $2,800 per-night price for the penthouse suite at the beloved J.K. Place Capri, and for $72,555 per week, you can boat about on a yacht rental like the Anne Marie.
The Brando is the place to stay on the Tetiaroa Atoll of French Polynesia, which is famous for its natural beauty. A three-bedroom villa at the Brando runs at 12,300 euros ($15,122) per night during the high season, and the resort can only be accessed via private plane. You'll naturally want to bring back a souvenir of a strand of famous French Polynesian pearls, which are of the highest quality and come with prices to match.
Located a short helicopter ride away from Manhattan, Southampton is the most exclusive of all the high-end enclaves on Long Island that comprise the Hamptons. You can make like Bill and Hillary Clinton and designer Tory Burch and rent a summer house in the Hamptons, like 269 Great Plains Road, which can be rented for $675,000 per summer. Use Blade to chopper out on a private flight starting at $4,420, and have dinner at Nick & Toni's in East Hampton, where a bottle of $2,250 of Bordeaux will go perfectly with your wood-grilled quail.
Ibiza is famous for having one of the best party scenes in the world, but it has a luxurious side, too. The Villa Titanium near the center of town comes with a staff of 24, yoga tents and a hammam, and rents for $279,000 per week. When you need to get out of the house, nightclub Amnesia has a VIP table you can book for 20,000 euros — or about $24,500.

Which V/Line train type is the most reliable?
V/Line operates a real mixed bag of rolling stock to provide train services across Victoria – but which type of train is the most reliable?
The newest trains in the V/Line fleet are the VLocity diesel multiple units. Each train is made up of three carriages, each with a diesel engine beneath.
The first units entered service in 2004, with additional trains rolling out of the Bombardier factory at Dandenong every few months.
Next up are the Sprinter diesel multiple units. Mechanically similar to the newer VLocity trains, the Sprinter fleet was built between 1993 and 1995, so are now approaching 25 years of age.
But the oldest part of the V/Line fleet is what they call their ‘classic fleet’, carriages hauled by diesel locomotives.
The N class are the core of the V/Line locomotive fleet, with 25 units built between 1985 and 1987.
Along with a single A class locomotive – built in 1985 on the frame of a B class locomotive built way back in 1952.
While V/Line’s carriage fleet fall into three classes.
The newest are the ‘N’ type carriages, built in the early 1980s and used on long distance services.
The ‘H’ type carriages used on commuter trains are younger, having been built in 1984-1992, but using the bodies of retired ‘Harris’ suburban trains from the 1950s.
While the oldest are the ‘Z’ type carriages used on long distance services – built way back in the 1950s, and the subject to cracked bogies back in 2013.
So which train is more reliable?
One would expect something brand new should be more reliable than something old, and that a simple piece of machinery is less likely to break down than a complicated one.
Using that logic, a carriage is a simple box with doors on wheels, a locomotive is something complicated with an engine that can break down, and a diesel multiple unit is the most complex, putting all of the above into a tight space.
So which ones breaks down the most? The V/Line annual report for 2016-17 has the answer.
New trains are more reliable than old ones, and simple trains break down less than complicated ones.
Each VLocity carriage travelled an average of 157,805 kilometres between faults in 2016-17 compared with 155,082 kilometres during 2015-16.
The average availability of VLocity carriages during scheduled service periods, which includes maintenance and operational issues, was 91.7 per cent against a target of 86.5, the percentage of the fleet that is required to meet timetable requirements.
This year, Sprinters travelled an average of 42,533 kilometres between faults, against a target of 30,259 kilometres. This compares with 40,066 kilometres between faults in 2016-17, a six per cent reliability improvement.
The average availability of Sprinters was 85 per cent against the target of 84.6 per cent. This decrease from 90.3 per cent availability in 2016-17 was due to In Cab Equipment (ICE) radio installation and fire damage to a Sprinter, effectively reducing the fleet size by one for most of the year.
Classic fleet carriages travelled an average of 162,895 kilometres between faults against a target of 130,000 kilometres.
Average carriage availability of 74.3 per cent is measured against a target of 73.2 per cent and was down from 81.4 per cent the previous year. This was due to carriages being unavailable after the Pirron Yallock level crossing collision and structural assessment to enable life extension until 2025.
Locomotives travelled an average of 22,957 kilometres between faults, against a target of 29,962 kilometres, compared with 27,049 kilometres in 2016-17. This represents a 15 per cent decrease.
Average availability was 70.2 per cent, against a target of 69 per cent, compared with 82.1 per cent in the previous year due to the repair of the locomotive involved in the Pirron Yallock level crossing incident.
Some interesting data – the performance of an increasing elderly carriage fleet being a stand out.
In August 2017 the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office released their report into V/Line Passenger Services – Figure 4D detailed the average age of rolling stock.
As well as V/Line’s historical neglect, of both infrastructure and rolling stock.
In the past, major periodic maintenance funding has not kept pace with the levels of funding required to maintain a fully operational and reliable passenger network. This has resulted in a deterioration of the network.
Until recently V/Line did not have a comprehensive understanding of the condition of its assets. It was therefore unable to develop sound long-term asset management strategies or to make evidence-based decisions on how it funded and prioritised maintenance and renewal work.
In 2015, V/Line changed its asset management approach from ‘fix on fail’ to ‘predict and prevent’, based on known asset condition. V/Line has now identified its maintenance backlog and has prioritised investments according to criticality and risk. The scale of funding required to address the maintenance backlog is significant—approximately $534.8 million across the entire V/Line network.
Asset failures limit V/Line’s ability to deliver agreed service levels, resulting in customer delays and service cancellations. Many of the vehicles in V/Line’s rolling stock fleet have been in service beyond their expected life, which is typically 30 years. Consequently they have a high failure rate and require significant investment in replacement and refurbishment.
Given V/Line’s difficulty in merely keeping up with patronage growth, I don’t see the retirement of life expired rolling stock happening any time soon.
« Which Melbourne train type is the most reliable?
Which Melbourne train type is the most reliable?
Aren’t locomotive sets more reliable, because if a carriage or locomotive has a fault, another carriage (not essential) or locomotive can be substituted? Obviously this would not work if it’s at it’s regional destination (eg. Warrnambool), but can it be done in Melbourne?
Swapping a dud train for a working one means the service can still be operated, but it still counts as a ‘failure’ for the purpose of the ‘kilometres between faults’ measure.
A failed VLocity unit can also be switched out at Southern Cross for a ‘good’ unit, and thanks to the auto couplings at each end, it would be an faster move than to shunt a failed carriage out of a train.
Another advantage of the VLocity trains is that each carriage has a separate fuel tank and engine beneath it, which increases your chances of the train as a whole being able to limp home to the end of the line.
