Leon Alvarado plays keyboards. He’s joined here by guitarist Trey Gunn and drummer Jerry Marotta. This music is instrumental. It’s also very powerful. It has a leaning toward atmospheric, but it does move well beyond that at times. There is definitely a lot of space rock here. This is quite an effective set overall. It never feels tired or redundant and always entertains.
This comes in atmospheric and grows out gradually. It’s essentially a space piece and it’s quite effective.
There is more of a rocking groove to this cut. This is very much like space rock mixed with fusion. That space is particularly obvious in the mellower section mid-track. There is really some great drama in this piece.
Atmosphere merged with percussion starts this. It gets more waves of textural space and fusion over the top. Eventually it works to a more driving section, but it’s still quite mellow. It starts build outward from there, though. It gets into some great rocking territory as it continues. This is more mainstream rock, but still informed by space rock and prog.
There is a real groove to this. Somehow it makes me think of a combination of Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk with some King Crimson thrown into the mix. This dissolves into atmospheric space later in the piece. That makes it a good book end with the first half of “Irreverence” that started this set.
Somehow this is more of a mainstream progressive rock tune. It’s still instrumental. It’s energetic and I really love the keyboard sounds on this live performance.

Exams are intense at University of Melbourne. At least, that's what I thought earlier this semester when I had my two mid semester exams. A few days before the exams, I was sent emails by my professors indicating my seat assignment. The exam hall on campus probably held about 500 numbered desks all in rows. No bags were allowed to be brought in and proctors constantly walked up and down the aisles. It was intimidating. But after having two final exams, I've decided the final exam process is on a whole different level of intensity.
At NYU, I've never once had assigned seating for an exam. I'd just show up, usually at the room where classes were held, and take the exam. No big exam hall, no scary proctors and no seat assignment. Simple. Exactly the opposite of how University of Melbourne does exams.
Before SWOT Vac, I checked my student portal to find out when and where my exams were. I was pleased with the spacing of my exams. But on closer observation, I noticed that my exams were located at the Royal Exhibition Building. This building is not on campus. In fact, it's not a University of Melbourne building at all. It's actually one of the world's oldest exhibition pavilions and is World Heritage listed. Luckily, when my friends and I go to British Crown every Sunday for $3 pizzas, we walk by the building, so I knew exactly how to get there.
I also noticed the seat numbers. Seat number 2772. That meant I would be with at least 2771 other students sitting in a room, taking an exam. Mind blown.
The Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens!
I had essentially the same experience Monday as I did today. I arrived to Carlton Gardens around 8:05am. There was already a huge herd of anxious students waiting outside the doors guarded by exam proctors. I didn't bother to bring a bag this time. It took me about 15 minutes on Monday to finally get in the trailer where the bags were kept, get my bag and get out. So all I had on me this morning was my phone, wallet and a few pens. I was listening to music, relaxing as I stood waiting to be let inside the building. All of the sudden a guy elbowed me really hard. I glared at him, but obviously it did no good because he was oblivious to everything else in the world besides getting as close as he could to the exam doors. Chill out man, it's just an exam. There were 3000 other students who were just as eager to get in, there was no prize for getting in first.
When the doors finally opened, it was madness. People were pushing to get in. PUSHING TO GET INTO AN EXAM HALL. Again, mind blown. If anyone were to have fallen, they would've gotten trampled and one would've noticed. It was crazy. Think getting into Walmart on Black Friday first thing when they open. That kind of crazy.
After getting inside, all I could hear above the murmur of students was "NO BAGS, LEAVE YOUR BAGS OUTSIDE." And all I could see were desks. Desks upon desks upon desks. About 3000 of them. All in perfect lines. This morning, I was conveniently in the front row and didn't have to look hard for my seat. After sitting, I looked up and noticed pretty murals on the walls and ceiling. The Royal Exhibition Hall is beautiful, but now, it will always be tainted in my memory from the stressful hours I've spent slaving over exams.
No need to write your name on the front of your exam booklet, you're known as your student number. Another interesting difference. I don't think there's ever been a time where I haven't written my name on an exam. Ever. At 8:15, reading time was announced. Reading time is optional and allows you to flip through the questions and start figuring out how to answer them. During the 15 minutes of reading time, students continued to flock in.
At 8:30, the exam officially started. It was unbelievable how quiet a big hall with 3000 students could be. All you could hear were pens and pencils writing and the rustle of paper. It was actually kind of cool.
This exam was much easier than the exam I had on Monday and I was done within an hour. Conveniently, since the proctors walked by constantly, I was able to grab the attention of one and get checked out of the exam. She placed a little green card over the number on the desk, indicating my exam was finished and I left.
The exam system at Melbourne Uni is completely different from what I've experienced at NYU. It's definitely time efficient - about 10 exams are administered at one sitting I believe. And from my two experiences so far, it seems virtually impossible to cheat on an exam. After already going through three years of uni, it was a shock experiencing such a different exam process. However, if I experienced only this process from the start, I think it would've been easy to get used to and better in the long run. I think cheating on exams is a problem in America, and I've seen it happen during my time at NYU. It's really not fair and that's what this system is ultimately meant to do - give everyone a fair assessment where no one has an advantage whatsoever.

Recently I took both of my kids to get their flu shots. My daughter volunteered to go first, but as soon as the alcohol wipe touched her skin, she started screaming and writhing in my arms. I tried to tell her it would be ok. I even got my flu shot first to show her it didn’t hurt, but she continued to scream, “Mama, don’t make me get a shot!” After several minutes of trying to convince her, two of us held her down so the nurse practitioner could give her the shot in her leg. Almost immediately afterwards, my daughter calmly stated that it didn’t hurt.
She just thought it was going to hurt like her blood draw did months earlier.
In the summer, she had to get her blood drawn at her yearly physical. She was ok at first, but minutes into it, she started screaming and crying uncontrollably. I had to hold her down, so they could finish. When it was all done, it took her a long time to settle down.
The alcohol wipe must have triggered her memory of the pain she suffered months earlier. In that moment, she did everything in her power to prevent more pain. She had convinced herself that her shot would be as painful as her blood draw, and nothing I said would change her mind. She would not trust me since I allowed her to go through so much pain months earlier.
Though you probably haven’t been traumatized by getting your blood drawn, you have likely been through other painful circumstances. In the aftermath, you find yourself doing everything you can to prevent more pain. Maybe you are struggling to trust God with your future, because your past involves painful circumstances.
I, too, have struggled to trust God with my future because of what has happened in the past.
When we were struggling with infertility, I clung to my dream of having biological children and I refused to consider any other way of building our family. I knew I had to surrender control to God, but I wasn’t sure I could trust Him with something so valuable. What if God didn’t want what I wanted? What if He allowed me to experience more pain?
Because my mom had died years earlier, I wasn’t convinced I could trust God. When my mom got cancer, my family and I prayed faithfully for her healing. God gave her ultimate healing in Heaven instead. Months after my mom’s death, life felt empty and lonely. For the first time in 27 years, I started questioning my faith. I wondered if what I believed was actually true. Is God who He says He is? Can He do what He says He can do? Can I trust him with something as important as my dream for my family?
At the time, we were living in Michigan and I was involved in a Bible Study called Gracestoration. During that study, we looked at the concept of entrusting something or someone to God. The definition of entrust is as follows: to assign the responsibility for doing something to (someone) or to put (something) into someone’s care or protection. When we entrust something to God, we are giving Him the responsibility for that object or person. Our focus should be on God and his character, NOT on the outcome of the thing we are entrusting.
When we focus on God, we can find peace and confidence in Him. Paul says it well in 1 Timothy 1:12.
Paul knew his Savior so well, that he was confident God could take care of anything or anyone.
Though I had walked with God my whole life, I struggled to trust Him in the midst of infertility. Because my heart had been brutally wounded through my mom’s death, I was in self-protection mode and acting like my 5-year-old daughter. I knew God was pushing us toward adoption, but I was reluctant to obey for fear that I would experience more pain and disappointment.
I decided, though, that I could entrust my dream to Him one day at a time. I confessed my doubt and my fear of more pain. Every day God filled me with the peace I needed for that day. Though we didn’t form our family the way I originally wanted, God was faithful to provide us with a family His way.
If you find yourself in a painful season, and you aren’t sure if you can trust God, I encourage you to be honest with Him. He can handle your doubt and your pain. Ask Him to give you the faith needed to entrust your dream to Him. I know that He will meet you right where you are, and He will guard what you have entrusted to Him.
Thank you Kevin. I appreciate your support.

Zurich and Geneva are still the world’s two most expensive major cities, according to the annual rankings of 77 metropolitan areas by Swiss bank UBS. Egypt’s capital Cairo is the cheapest.
The two Swiss cities beat New York, Oslo and Copenhagen, revealed UBS’s 2018 “Cost of living in cities around the worldexternal link” survey on Tuesday.
What’s more expensive in Zurichexternal link than in Genevaexternal link? “The biggest difference can be found in services, such as haircuts, an hour of household help, dry cleaning, language classes etc., where Zurich is 20% pricier on average than Geneva. The second-largest difference is in electronic devices (+16%) like smartphones, televisions and notebooks,” the survey found.
UBS based its calculations on a basket of 128 goods and services representing the spending habits of a three-person European family – with separate data sets including and excluding rent, the single largest cost for most people.
Zurich and Geneva topped both dataexternal link sets, although the difference with basis city New York was greater when rent was excluded.
However, when it comes to buying power – earnings versus prices, or what people can afford – Los Angeles did best, pipping Zurich, Miami and Geneva. New York came tenth and London 23rd.
In a subset of data for 11 big citiesexternal link (including Zurich but not Geneva), UBS looked at where millennials would be best off to buy a package of typical must-have goods including an Apple iPhone, a laptop and a Netflix subscription.

According to a Boston.com article written by Todd Feathers, a woman in Roslindale was sent to Faulkner Hospital of Brigham and Women’s after being bitten in the hand by a pit bull.
The sound of growling woke the 52-year-old woman at 8:30 a.m, which she discovered to be coming from two pit bulls – one 13 yeras old, and one 5 years old – fighting outside her Ridge Street apartment. The woman managed to separate the two animals, and was attempting to calm the younger dog and bring it inside, when it turned on her and bit her on the hand. Her son came outside and successfully calmed both dogs down until animal control officers arrived, who then took the younger pit bull into custody.
The woman was transported to the hospital shortly thereafter, the severity of her hand injuries currently unknown.
Incidents like this highlight the importance of your wellness and safety in regards to handling dogs, particularly when a dog does not belong to you.

text: On truly “Joyful” Mondays, we celebrate the birth of Jesus and celebrate the birth of our salvation. The son of God came into the most humble of settings: as a newborn child in the midst of poverty. Perhaps He did so to show us how far He would go to show us His love. Perhaps He did so to reach out to all of us. Irrespective of the reason, Christians are called upon to look to those humble beginnings as the source of our salvation. Lord, I pray for a humble Christ-like heart; that I may see You among the least of my brethren and that they may see a genuine Christ-like love in my heart.

Three Bad Mice: Hip Pip and his Pop-up Dish!
Hip Pip and his Pop-up Dish!
Birthday nights out can get pretty run of the mill, the same pubs and bars as every weekend, but with added pressure that you are celebrating someone's birthday and therefore it must be super duper fun, which usually means they end up falling a bit short. Last Friday my uni friends and I all got ourselves to Angel to celebrate Fran's birthday, but this time to do something a bit different! I was actually in a very fragile state, having suffered the world's worst hangover with only 3 hours sleep, the thought of a sip of wine made me want to cry! After hugs all round, present giving, squealing at the size of Fran's new engagement ring (double celebration eeek!) and a few gulps of Hendricks, I felt good to go and ready for the night's adventures!
We made a stop off at Sainsbury's local as our destination is BYO. A few bottles of celebratory Prosecco and Oyster Bay heavier, we set off along Upper Street on the look out for a Citroen sign... We located the sign and spied a little alley just past it (next to Antonio's Restaurant), tottering on our heels, we headed down the alley and at the end of the uneven cobbled walkway was a bright red Citroen Garage. But we weren't there to get our 2CV's serviced, tucked away down this alley is a hidden gem. The only clue that you are stumbling upon something quite special is the amazing aroma wafting out of the red metal door and a blackboard welcoming you to Pips Dish.
The man behind this pop-up sensation is Philip Dundas, a BBC producer turned chef and author (he penned Cooking Without Recipes which is on our Amazon wishlist). A conversation with a friend who lived in Islington sparked the idea. The friend pointed out that there aren't any good restaurants on Upper Street; you either have chains or non-descript venues trying to provide every cuisine possible and therefore not doing a good job at anything. So Philip decided to change that and went on the hunt for a venue. Pips Dish opened in November 2011, serving up a fresh, healthy menu which constantly changes based on seasonal ingredients and basically, whatever's good in the farm shop that day.
As you walk through the glossy red door you're greeted with the Farm Shop in a big barn-like space. Philip has teamed up with Farm Direct to sell their produce to the public from the shop which is stacked with big crates of fresh fruit and veg, jars of chutneys and relishes and I definitely saw the evidence of cheeses and hams tucked away. The other half of the barn has been converted into Pip's kitchen and the cosy dining area. The Kitchen is tucked in a corner opposite the seating area and is jam packed with big steel pans, utensils, glass jars and fresh herbs pots. It was lovely to be able to sit, relax and chat whilst watching the culinary creations for the evening being whipped up before your eyes. If you weren't hungry before you arrived, that soon changes, the smell of the feast cooking away is incredible!
You can immediately tell how much care, effort and love has gone into every detail. Many hours were apparently spent wiping, cleaning and scrubbing every wall and surface to try and get rid of the copious amounts of oil and grease they were originally welcomed with. Well, those hours definitely paid off and now the shabby-chic interior fits the barn down to a tee - exposed brick walls with peeling white paint, candles glowing everywhere, big vases of daffodils, hay bales as benches, red and white check table cloths...it feels like you are a rustic barn in France, miles away from London's Upper Street!
Pip makes the experience really personal and although the barn seats around 30 people, you feel as if he is cooking a meal specifically for you. To get the night started he introduced himself, the barn and how the night works, adding little stories in about the pop-up creation. Throughout the night he frequently came over to check we were enjoying everything or to explain the next creation he'd be serving up and even to make sure that the one vegetarian of the group was happy (she definitely was).
The atmosphere was really chilled out and easy to relax in, lots of laughing and chatter and the food was amazing. The dishes Pip rustled up were essentially homely recipes but with an unusual twist - the flavours were incredible and the combinations quirky yet really tasty.
It was the best birthday night out I have been to in a long time - great food, lots of fun and perfect for catching up and celebrating! You pay £25 for 3 courses and then bring your own alcohol - much better than dough balls and an American Hot at Pizza Express! Without a shadow of a doubt I will heading back to test out some more of Pip's creations, and next time I am taking Middle Mouse as I have a sneaky suspicion she will LOVE just as much as me.

If we do not change our direction we're likely to end where we're headed.
The most important feature of a transforming organisation is that it has a 'Vision' or what I would like to call the school's desired future. We have to make the school an important societal change agent for the future, to bring about any transformation in learning and social development in any community or country.
The Vision must be initiated by the leader and developed with school personnel and all stakeholders.
It must provide future orientation.
Evoke an image of the future school.
Provide a standard of excellence, an ideal.
Is the vision, the basis for the unique contribution to students, to school personal, community, and society?
Vision should be shared and supported by the internal and external stakeholders.
The vision must be compelling and inspiring.
Finally, the vision must be living and even evolve further as the process of change creation rolls out.
Steve Jobs said, " Innovation requires a team, and you cannot inspire a team of passionate evangelists without a compelling vision; a vision that is bold, simple and consistently communicated."
Reading my lessons from Schools Can Change and understanding the work of Learning Forward, I have been able to crystallize a vision statement for The Fabindia School, and this is how the vision could read. "The Fabindia School will become a national leader in innovation by implementing new technologies in learning and offer affordable quality education." Another way to state the school vision could be "The Fabindia School will become a national leader in schools and become the favored destination for English learning in rural India." The first statement is compelling and inspiring, the second seems to me a statement of purpose, and explains to all the stakeholders what is in it for them. This perhaps is our goal and is indeed a part of our vision wherein we have set out to become an institution of excellence, and there is an element of dynamism in what we are doing. The vision thus sustains over an extended period of time and is the direction for the ongoing mission.
Psychology Today Blog state that "The absence of, or poorly written Vision and Mission statements, are lost opportunities for Attracting/engaging/retaining talent; Building organizational culture; and, Increasing productivity while leveraging all resources to successfully implement a strategic plan."
WHAT it does;WHO it does it for; and HOW it does what it does.
It is important to develop a plan around a clearly defined and well written Vision and Mission. Both serve important, yet different roles as core elements of a strategic plan. The Fabindia School's mission is to provide access to high-quality education for boys and girls at the rural level, using English as the medium of instruction. The school views primary education as a major stepping stone towards social mobility, equality, and employment opportunities.
The Vision must encourage us to think big (overview), think for tomorrow, think of student and society contribution and most important lead and help to create the future.
Vision killers are often tradition (never done before!), fear of risk taking, stereotypes, complacency, fatigue and short term thinking. We must not look for quick results and look at details to help create the big picture.
The Vision must be Cognitive - to educate, Emotional - to motivate and Organisational - to coordinate. An effective vision produces more efficient and coordinated action. It must be coherent, powerful, emphasize on what is achievable and always clarify what the school should be.
Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is a pass time. A vision must be a shared one as this alone will make it become a reality one day. Since its inception, The Fabindia School has been committed to encouraging education for girls in a culture where most parents who can afford an English medium school would send only their sons. To realize the dream of providing equal educational opportunity for girls, the school gives 200 scholarships and 70% are for girls alone. The school also provides scholarships through a partnership with The John Bissell Scholars Fund. It is a matter of pride that girls hold many leadership posts in the school. In addition, the school seeks to enroll and subsidize children from socially and economically marginalized communities who otherwise do not have access to quality education. One of the most important values imparted is for students to stay connected to their birthplace. They are instilled with a sense of pride in their local heritage and a sense of responsibility for the future of Rajasthan.

Pole Expo — How often do you train on the pole regularly verses when preparing for a competition or showcase?
Usually I train five days per week. Because I think you need to give your body a break, regain power and then go again.
When preparing for a contest or showcase, I may train two times per day. For example I can practice choreography during afternoon with my coach. And then all tricks in the late evening.
Teaching not included, I spend about three hours per week doing pole training when not preparing for competition. When preparing a performance, I spend approximately 8 hours weekly pole dancing, as well as two-to-four hours weekly doing non-pole exercise.
I am on pole almost every day though I try to give myself a day off once maybe twice a week depending on my level of fatigue. That doesn't really change when I am training for a competition I just step up how long I train for and try to create the combos I am going to put into the routine. Then I work with Isis Masoud my choreographer and once we have a routine my training consists of just running that over and over. But I am always doing more than just pole during the week I am also training in contortion 4-5 times a week along with flying trapeze or lyra. When I get into competition mode some of those extra activities have to be put on the back burner which is sad but there is only so much time in a day and only so much ones’ body can take.
I try to train 1-2 hours a week on new tricks (if I am lucky) in addition to teaching many hours a day, which in turn always allows me to practice other tricks. I teach conditioning/stretch classes as well which allows me to work out with my students every week. I strongly believe in cross training off the pole and injury prevention exercises, so some of my pole conditioning happens off of the pole in addition to training on the pole.
Normally I'm spending about 2-3 hours per day 5 days per week for my pole practice.
But in competition period it's completely different, about 5-6 hours per day 6-7 times per week.
My time spent teaching is when I practice, which is 1 – 3 hours a day, 5 days a week mainly beginner to intermediate pole. I truly wish I devoted more time to practicing. When I’m preparing for a showcase I will make the time to practice an hour a day, two to three days a week. I also train with weights, cardio, and yoga.
Being a touring instructor means that my training schedule is not always as regular as I'd like it to be. When I am at home in Vegas, I try to get to Pole Fitness Studio at least three times a week, and my sessions can range from an hour to three or four hours at a time. I also cross train, so I include other fitness training sessions in my days. If I'm in training for a performance, I like to train five days out of seven. The maximum I'll train on pole is six days out of seven, because at that intensity, the body needs a day to recover. More than that is just overtraining.
When training for a competition, I train 5-6 days a week for up to 4hrs per day. My eating regimen also becomes pretty strict with a routine of smoothies, lots of chicken, eggs, and fish, and tons of veggies and good carbs. Regularly I train 3-4 days a week for a couple hours a day and sometimes I mix it up and do non-pole related workouts such as weight training, flexibility training, and cross-training on other apparatuses like aerial hoop and FlyGym!
Personally, it will be different if I am preparing a competition verses a showcase performance. First of all, also if the main goal is to express my passion through a piece, I will focus my attention on certain points for a competition piece and maybe different ones or using different ways for a showcase.
Competition practice: A competition piece is requiring specific criteria depending on which one you entering. I usually start the creation and training process 4 to 5 months in advance before to ensure I have time to elaborate and get deeply into every single points (technique, fluidity, musicality, quality of movement, stage presence, and costume...) I normally train 2 hours a day on the pole while really take care of my body with massages, healthy food and rest (not really different that what I am normally doing out of competition period).
When I have a performance approaching I will train on the pole about 4x a week, while still retaining my classes and cross training.
When I don't have a performance I train about twice a week on the pole. I experiment, create, and work on specific goals. I use my non-performance time to really focus on my dance and acrobatic training.
During IPC training (which lasted only about a month and a half), I trained 5-6 days a week, poling for about 4-6 hours a day. During my training week, I met with my personal trainer Maria Ramsdell twice and my choreographer Kelly Yvonne once. The training week wrapped with a much-needed two days of rest -- a new practice for me, that made a world of difference!
Dancing and exercise has always been apart of my life as a way to be healthy and happy. Wether it be taking a ballet class or training with Nerijus and his Train P3 program. Movement and exercise has always been apart of my daily life.
When I get "self time" on the pole and I'm not training for a competition, I usually get 2 hours a week. When I train for competitions I try and get my "self time" at least every day during the week. I still juggle clients so I do get to touch the pole daily. But whether I train for a competition or not, I never miss the gym.

New Jersey is known as a high-risk area for diseases spread by ticks and mosquitos, such as Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and potentially the Zika virus. Fortunately, we can help you combat these pests with our tick and mosquito control services. Our products are safe for children and pets while remaining effective.
NJ continues to have one of the highest rates of Lyme disease in the county and 75% of Lyme disease cases are associated with contact around the home. How can tick-borne disease risk be reduced?
Avoid wooded areas with dense shrubs, high grass and a lot of leaves, as these are places where ticks are likely to hide.
If you hike in the woods, stay to the center of the trail to avoid overgrown vegetation.
Since children aged 5-14 are at the highest risk of acquiring Lyme disease, be sure to use implement precautionary steps to limit the risk of tick bites.
Take extra precautions in May, June and July when ticks that transmit disease are most active.
Make your yard less attractive to ticks: mow lawns, clear brush, and remove leaf litter. Keep wood piles away from gathering places and house.
Keep ground under bird feeders and move away from house as mice will eat the fallen seed.
Restrict the use of ground cover that attracts deer.
Keep cats and dogs out of the woods and brush.
Keep playground equipment, decks and patios away from yard edges and trees and, if possible, place them on recycled rubber mulch.
When outdoors, apply EPA-registered insect repellant on exposed skin and clothing according to the instructions on the label. Deet may be used on skin and permethrin should only be used on clothing and outdoor gear.
Cover up. Wear long, solid and light colored clothing with pants tucked into socks. This will help prevent ticks from getting under your clothes and attaching to your skin.
Wash your clothes with hot water and dry them using high heat for at least one hour.
Perform a daily tick check after being outdoors.

We took off from North Carolina to Florida. No problems. The SO’s whole family is in FL. That’s the point of the trip, right? He calls his dad who is supposed to be staying with us in the condo. His father says that it is too much work for him to drive down to see us. It is less than an hour from his house and he is retired. This didn’t go over well with the SO who tried to shame him using the fact that he hasn’t seen Z in three years. He may show up sometime this week.
Then we stopped on the way to see his 89 year old grandfather. Creepy moment – we were leaving and the SO mentioned that I was a vegetarian. This grandfather looked at me and said I looked healthy. Then they both stood side by side and looked me up and down like the perverts they are. The SO said that I worked just fine for him and his grandfather agreed!
From there it was an hour to our hotel. Z started complaining that we could have been there already if we hadn’t wasted our time by stopping to see her great-grandfather. The SO went ballistic. No Disney tomorrow. We will go to Sea World and see if she can have good enough behavior to earn back the Disney visit.
Our hotel is a time share that my parents’ have. It is free for us to use. We’ve used them before. So I go to check in and they charge me $800. They’ll give it back when I leave. That wasn’t advertised. I protested. I don’t protest. For me to say anything at all I have to be livid. All I’m thinking is, “I’m going to call my mother!” My mother doesn’t have my delicate sensabilities.
Then I had to go see another receptionist for the time share. She was working with people who wanted to know everything like in what row of which outlet mall was the Ed Hardy store. Then, and I could not make this up, they wanted to know what to do if they lost something at a rest stop but they don’t know what state it happened in. She told them to call Highway patrol. Did she have that number? When I finally got my turn I complained again about the money. I might have strongly implied that I was now too broke to use any of the amentities of the facility. That’s not true but it is the principle.
I go back outside and called my mommy. She went into berserker rage. As of tonight she has them taking the hold off my card which can only be done by calling my bank. She got them to agree to call my bank for me but I have to be there. Tomorrow she’s calling corporate.
To sum up, we are not probably labelled as poor white trash troublemakers at this very nice resort and that’s before the SO’s father may show up.
The SO says that I earned my white trash title through my fingernails. I am super professional girl all the time. For this vacation I have stickers on my fingernails in the design of fishnet stockings. Between that and my tale of woe over the $800 they will probably be following us to make sure we don’t take off with the china!

The opening plenary speaker on the fourth day of the Ninth International Healthy Buildings Conference, hosted by the Syracuse Center of Excellence, was Tom Kelly, director of the Indoor Environments Division (IED), a non-regulatory body of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). Kelly has been director of this division for six years, supervising groundbreaking scientific studies and publishing guidance handbooks aimed at protecting indoor air quality.
Introduced by Cornelius B. Murphy, president of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Kelly began by gently amending the introduction offered by Murphy, who described him as “a scientist … even a good one”— a comment that drew chuckles from the crowd. Instead, Kelly classified himself as a sociologist who has spent a lot of time working around policymakers and scientists who help make good, effective policy possible. Throughout his talk, Kelly highlighted the critical role that science plays in crafting not only policy, but in creating non-regulatory guidelines that alter behavior through incentives rather than penalization. This differentiation is central to the role of the Indoor Environments Division within the EPA, Kelly says.
“If regulation is the jet engine that drives change, then [the IED] is a hang glider— trying to catch the wind,” says Kelly.
As director, he promotes the use of what he calls “social contagion,” borrowing a medical metaphor to describe the way he hopes to bring about change. Through effective communication, if his division can convince enough people (and industries) that it is in their best interest economically to improve indoor air quality, then that is what brings about change, and that power of persuasion relies squarely on the inquiry and research of scientists—just like the more than 1,000 delegates and attendees at HB2009.
Within his speech, Kelly touched on a few of the specific programs that the IED has fostered to help accomplish that. Their radon program, which has been around for 25 years, has traditionally been a “hard sell” when it comes to convincing contractors for instance to prevent indoor radon contamination— radon is invisible and therefore not as pressing in some people’s minds. However, through the efforts of their radon program and the IED’s partnering with other scientific bodies such as the National Academy of Sciences and European scientific research teams, the World Health Organization has granted that indoor radon exposure, even at low levels, is a global matter of concern. On Monday, the WHO will release an international handbook on controlling radon indoors, according to Kelly.
IED also has an extensive program aimed at changing the way that asthma is viewed and dealt with in this country—merging research from the EPA’s scientists with the medical community—and showing that asthma is not purely a medical concern and oftentimes is predicated by poor indoor air quality.
Perhaps of greatest interest to those who are following the “green-building” movement, the IED’s “Indoor Air Plus” program is partnering with Energy Star— the folks who are working to advance energy efficient homes— and crafting guidelines that will help prevent bad air from getting trapped inside newly weatherized, airtight homes. According to Kelly, this was the case back in the 1970s, when the energy crisis led to homes and offices becoming “locked boxes,” causing the nation to suffer from “sick building syndrome.” As the president’s economic stimulus package rolls out $2 billion in a weatherization program, IED’s Indoor Air Plus is working hard to make sure that won’t happen again.
In a post-talk interview, Murphy noted that Americans spend as much as 80 percent of their time indoors, and while legislation in the form of the Clean Air Act regulates what goes into outdoor air, we as yet have no comprehensive regulation governing indoor air quality. When asked if this regulation might be down the road, or whether the IED and the US EPA should be pushing it, Murphy pointed out that regulation only establishes minimum standards, when in fact policymakers should be focusing on how to incentivize through free market tools companies and builders actually exceeding these standards.
Syracuse Center of Excellence (syracusecoe.org) is a collaborative organization of more than 200 businesses and institutions that creates innovations for sustainable built and urban environments. SyracuseCoE members work on research, development, and educational projects relating to clean and renewable energy, indoor environmental quality and water resources.

text: Designers of optical multilayer coatings commonly assume that the individual layers will be ideally homogeneous and isotropic. In practice, it is very difficult to control the conditions involved in the complex evaporation process sufficiently to produce such ideal films. Clearly, changes in process parameters, such as evaporation rate, chamber pressure, and substrate temperature, affect the microstructure of the growing film, frequently producing inhomogeneity in structure or composition. In many cases, these effects are interdependent, further complicating the situation. However, this process can be simulated on powerful, interactive, and accessible microcomputers. In this work, we present such a model and apply it to estimate the influence of an inhomogeneous layer on multilayer performance. Presently, the program simulates film growth, thermal expansion and contraction, and thickness monitoring procedures, and includes the effects of uncertainty in these parameters or noise. Although the model is being developed to cover very general cases, we restrict the present discussion to isotropic and nondispersive quarterwave layers to understand the particular effects of inhomogeneity. We studied several coating designs and related results and tolerances to variations in evaporation conditions. The model is composed of several modular subprograms, is written in Fortran, and is executed on an IBM-PC with 640 K of memory. The results can be presented in graphic form on a monochrome monitor. We are currently installing and implementing color capability to improve the clarity of the multidimensional output.

text: In the period of nearly three decades between The Duchess of Malfi and the closure of the theatres in 1642, only one play made important and original use of the assassin: Thomas Middleton and William Rowley's The Changeling. It is a treatment very different from John Webster's. Beatrice and De Flores who are, if anything, even more central than Flamineo and Bosola: the murder of Beatrice's fiancé Piracquo is the subject of the play. But whereas Webster was interested in the human experience of being a hired murderer, this play deals with the situation of using one. There are only a few other substantial treatments of the assassin from the late Jacobean and Caroline period: Philip Massinger's The Duke of Milan and John Ford's 'Tis Pity She's a Whore. A number of plays recycled aspects of the characters of Webster's assassins. The gradual exclusion of hired murderers from these plays offers a context with which to best understand the decline of the stage assassin in the 1620s and 1630s.

Fresh out of West London, dynamic duo Ambi & Dilly make their highly anticipated debut with ‘Chanjara’ featuring the powerful vocals of Nirmal Sidhu. The track is set for a worldwide release on Thursday 26th May 2016 via E3UK Records.
Ambi, hot off touring from the phenomenal success of his award winning album ‘Cut Like a Diamond’, which featured hit songs ‘Feem’ by Jazzy B and ‘Shaukeen Jatt’ by Nirmal Sidhu teams up with his partner in crime and full debutant, ’Dilly’.
Ambi & Dilly met over five years ago, whilst working in Asian Wedding DJ circuit. With their paths crossing more often than not, they formed a strong friendship and later partnership, allowing them to rock audiences together, all around the world.
Dilly, an established DJ with nearly ten years experience, has a deep knowledge of musical production, and with a love for the harmonium and banjo brings a wealth of influence to ‘Chanjara’.
The story of ‘Chanjara’ began in 2014, having sourced lyrics from the acclaimed Vijay Dhammi, Dilly and Ambi identified Nirmal Sidhu as the singer they felt that would do the song most justice. Nirmal, instantly impressed with the project and the ambitions of Ambi & Dilly, agreed to proceed with the track. Together they formed the now hotly anticipated release of Chanjara.
The video has been shot on location in Punjab by the exciting Jack Sarwan and is set to be released on all major music channels worldwide.

Ehkzu Artzu: Should little girls sing opera arias written for men?
I see many opera lovers conflating performing an aria in concert with performing it in an opera. These are distinct modalities, and in fact people who sing in operas can encounter aesthetic difficulties when they do arias in concert–when they fail to grasp the difference, unlike Jackie Evancho, who understands it perfectly.
Thus when Ms. Evancho sings “Nessun Dorma” as a concert piece, she isn’t trying to portray Prince Calaf, madly in love with with the eponymous psychopathic princess of the opera. In the context of the opera, whoever’s playing the Prince must, of course, sing in character, and the aria, which is a soliloquy, sets the stage for the dramatic scenes that follow.
If the aria is only aesthetically valid when it’s doing that, then it shouldn’t be sung in concert by anyone–even a Corelli or a Domingo.
But this shortchanges Puccini’s genius as a composer. Of course the music stands on its own. Honestly, the opera needs it more than it needs the opera, whose libretto is the most problematic of Puccini’s operas, uncomfortably mixing a fantastical fable of a story with Puccini’s profoundly verisimo musical style. Maybe that’s why he died trying to finish it after two years of struggle.
Outside the opera the lyrics are poetic but about as meaningful as one of Bob Dylan’s lyrics. When Jackie sings this aria, she recontextualizes it for the concert hall, without the story–which isn’t there, since it’s the aria, not the opera, that’s being performed after all.
When Jackie sings it, it’s a song of great yearning and great will to achieve one’s dreams and aspirations.
And actually I find that to be a better fit with the music than Prince Calaf’s declaration of love for someone who is plainly a dangerous nut case any sane man would run from as fast as he could. Really, you’d be safer with the Queen of the Night. Every night you’d have to frisk her for knives and ice picks before you went to bed.
I should add that many people have sung this aria, man and woman, opera singers and otherwise. Aretha Franklin has done it, probably marking the nadir of her career–but not because she’s a woman. Because she sang it really, really badly.
Whereas, given the concert setting and not the operatic one, little 11 year old Jackie Evancho sings it as well as I’ve heard it sung–in concert.
For all the harrumphing about the lyrics, you’d think she was reading from the Kama Sutra. “Nessun Dorma”‘s lyrics are fine, given that this child is assuming the persona of the storyteller, not the person the story is being told about.
And when it comes to authentically expression powerful longing and equally powerful will–who can legitimately say they have more of either than her? What were the rest of us doing at age 11? She is, like most geniuses–which she is, obviously–highly driven. Which means that what she feels and what she wants to do with her time is not like what you cute little niece feels and wants to do with her time.
I find a lot of the naysaying I read here and elsewhere stems from a profound lack of understanding of human genius. Well, that’s to be expected. Geniuses are exceedingly rare, and many of us go through our whole lives without ever meeting one in person.
And they exemplify the unfairness of nature. You may have labored twenty years, diligently, to master something, and have a genius waltz in and say of your work “And then it just repeats…right? What if we tried this?” and proceeds to invalidate your entire career.
Lots of people tackle “Nessun Dorma” because it isn’t just a great aria in “Turandot”–it’s also a great song. And a lot easier to pop out of the opera that something from Wagner’s multi-hour songspiels, I might add.

I think I have. I have not shied away from them at least. I may have missed some just from simply not noticing they were there but for the most part when I’ve seen an opportunity, I’ve taken it. And when my gut or ‘inner self’ has told me to try something, I have. I’m glad for that.
I am trying to as well. I have done more of it since my late 20′s till now. I am still trying but I think I am a little more cautious now that I am a mom and my life belongs to them. So I think alot more before I act.
I feel like I’ve seized opportunities. Not always good ones, but they were there and I thought that they’d be great things to do. Sure, I got bit (a lot) but that didn’t stop me. I moved out of my parents house (got bit: ended up homeless for a titch.) Moved to Florida (the car broke down so I seized the moment and stayed.) Moved to Georgia… and found out that I did indeed know how to love.
There are going to be more chances to seize opportunities, yes, I just hope I keep the courage up.

Editor’s Note: This is the first post in a two-part series on clean coding. Be sure to check out our post where we discuss the three tips to polish your CSS work and delight your clients.
I like to think of our role as developers as similar to that of craft furniture makers. They spend time working on design elements that the ultimate owner of the piece may never notice, but that enhance its durability and quality. At the same time, it’s clear at a glance what the item is and what purpose it serves. I apply the same principles to writing HTML code.
Writing clean code is a matter of taking pride in what you do in the craft of web development.
Clean code translates to faster running websites, teams that work more efficiently together, and clients that are happier down the line because they can understand and amend the language to their needs.
The most talented developers code with those readers in mind – here are my tips for ensuring they’ll be clamoring for more of your writing.
Consider how you put elements together in your code as a way of aiding navigation. Keep your code linear with a clear flow from the header at the top to the footer at the end.
Use naming conventions that are not overly specific. The danger in opting for a column name, for example, that references a particular color, font style or position in relation to other code elements is that all of the above are likely to change at some point in the life of your code. Overly specific names may no longer make sense in the long term, so choose wisely. Ensure that your developer team all use the same style for class names so there’s no variance, for instance, in how a name might be capitalized, hyphenated or underscored.
Use the correct tag or attribute and, in particular, think about whether you are overusing divs as you group block-level code elements like paragraphs of text and images.
One simple thing you can do to make your code more readable is to indent your code so it’s clear when you’ve introduced a new code element that is a child element of the tag above it. Be consistent if you apply indentation within your code so the hierarchy within your code is clearly delineated and readers can use your indentation as a way to navigate through your code. Overly dense code is hard to read – white space is your friend.
When you’re applying a particular style to one or more code elements, you’ll look to use IDs or classes. An ID is for a unique element so it should only occur once in your code, ideally in the sections for website logo or header or footer. You may use a class, like ‘quote,’ over and over again.
Write code with the expectation that your clients will go into your code at some point to make their own changes to it. For instance, plan on including an index at the top of your code to let your clients know where particular code elements can be found.
Once you’ve written and reviewed your code, run it through a third-party validation tool to pick up any lingering errors which, if not identified and corrected, might negatively impact the running or rendering of the website you’ve created.
Clean HTML code forms the building blocks of well-designed websites, and establishes you as a talented coder in your field. While writing cluttered and poorly organized code might seem like a quick fix at the time, you’ll end up creating extra work for yourself. Imagine returning to fix, maintain, update, or build upon code that you wrote that uses bad naming conventions and lacks structure.
Remember: clean code is reusable code.
As you code, think about clear and uncluttered layouts, easily comprehensible navigation, and all the potential readers who may visit your work. Writing clean, readable, and accessible code benefits you, your peers and partners and your clients.

There are so many different types of love. Love of people, love of things, love of the intangible, love of food, love of love, love of art, love of work. We attribute so much, and so little, meaning to this word. It’s an emotion, a way of life, a code, a noun, a verb, a promise, a blessing, a curse, a conversation, and an art form in and of itself.
As a creative, I frequently question my own pursuits. I always have. Well, maybe not always. From the age of 12, I have questioned the end result of my pursuits. What will make me successful? When will I know that I’ve hit success? Will I even be able to recognize it if it happens? Has it already occurred? Did I miss it? Was that all? Does it keep happening in waves? On and on and on and on like a mental plague or storm. Except the storm is my endless line of self interrogation, and my fragile self is the pitiful little boat adrift at sea that is being bombarded by wave after wave of unanswerable questions. God, that sounds pretentious, but it is where my brain can take me.
I have been told by many others that I admire and respect to just do the work. If you are doing the work, then more work will follow and you will be filled with satisfaction having done the work. Yet, I can’t rip my mind away from an obsession with the end result. I am obsessed with knowing why I am spending so much time, so much effort, so much energy toward this love for creating art. What will become of it? What will become of me?
All of these questions lead to a bigger question: Am I doing the right thing with my life?
I know from experience the true root of that question is my fear of death and the unknown. So, when I condense the really big overwhelming and powerful questions plaguing me about my pursuit of the arts down to their most basic form I am left with this: Fear.
By my own experience, fear is the opposite of love. It is the darkest and blackest cave that I have found in the deep recesses of the human mind. It is a hard wired byproduct of being animals that had to survive day in and day out. Except now, my fear is almost a luxurious emotion. I can be so consumed by fear that I’m “not doing the right thing with my life”, because I don’t have to worry about day to day survival. I have the luxury of concerning myself with being happy and successful. WHEW! Talk about first world problems….
So, if that’s the case, then the fear is not real. IF the fear is not real, then I don’t need it. Instead, I can have love. For myself and my pursuits. And, if I can truly attain that spirit and attitude…I think I would call that success.
Just today, I went to tape an audition for a TV series. I got to go spend 20 minutes with a couple of my favorite acting coaches in Austin, TX. More than that, I got to do all of the work ahead of time preparing for my audition. Crafting my story. Crafting my character. Crafting my choices. For a scene that would probably last a minute tops, I spent hours doing the work. And, I loved it.
The rest of the story…hopefully I get cast. If I don’t, will that stop my pursuit?
Because, I love what I do…and the rest just follows.

Do you have questions about health and safety?
When a foreign company or employee is going to work in Denmark many questions can arise. Arbejdstilsynet – the Danish Working Environment Authority (WEA)– will happily answer questions concerning workplace health and safety.
The Danish Working Environment Authority - Arbejdstilsynet - is the Danish liaison office and coordinates the tasks of informing foreign employers and employees about the regulations for posting to Denmark. Besides this it is primarily questions about health and safety, the Call Center of the Danish WEA can help you with.
The Working Environment Authority can answer questions concerning the entire working environment area. For example, on chemicals, psychological working environment, accident prevention and ergonomic conditions. You can also contact Arbejdstilsynet to complain if you suspect a company has violated health and safety regulations.
In general, all enquiries receive an immediate response. If your enquiry is complex, Arbejdstilsynet may need to investigate further before returning with an answer.
If a company currently has a specific case with the Working Environment Authority, you can ask to speak to the inspector or the legal supervisor handling the case.

My name’s Adam Kiszka and I work on the design team here at CupPrint.
Illustrator is the way to go. The best software to prepare cup design with is, without doubt, Adobe Illustrator (AI).
It gives the biggest flexibility for adjusting the design to cup template.
You can also work with InDesign and Photoshop, but AI is my recommendation.
Work in the CMYK workspace. Avoid RGB or spot colors when not needed.
Our main printing process used for printing cups is high resolution full color process CMYK.
This process is great for accurate representation of photos and graphics.
If you have specific Pantone references for your brand, no problem. We convert all Pantone references to the CMYK version of this reference using up-to-date Pantone Color Bridges Books.
For the most part this is very accurate. But there are some colors to watch out for.
The colors with the most discrepancies to be aware of are bright oranges – such as PMS 021.
Please be aware that some spot colors cannot include our usual food safe inks.
Pastel and neon color palettes are a couple more examples. Always please enquire first.
Rasterised logos are a common issue we encounter.
I recommend vector all the way as it gives more flexibility in color corrections. Plus, print quality is generally better.
Black mixes using all 4 Process Colors are not recommended as they might print as dark brown due to high ink coverage.
To print black we advise using K100% only. Additionally, to achieve deep black, cyan boost between 40-60% can be used.
Text 6pt and below might not be legible.
Please take care with small imprints and symbols like: © ® and ™.
If it’s not readable when you print it on your printer, it won’t be on the cup.
Line thicknesses below 0.5pt might differ from screen appearance, especially on matt finish cups with dark backgrounds and bright graphic elements.
This is due to uncoated paper which soaks in some of the ink.
Use our gridlines to adjust elements using warping effect in Illustrator to make elements appear straight on the cup.
Ideally elements need to be arched so envelope distortion matches horizontal and vertical lines of the grid.
Finally, the text must feature the same curvature as the provided grid pattern to ensure that the printing results appear optically correct and linear.
This approach is also used when positioning images.
In this case, we also recommend creating a new image layer and adjusting the edges of the image to fit the pattern.
There are some exceptions like vertical text or circular elements, where warping might affect general proportions of the elements.
Of course a cup itself isn’t cylindrical. It’s tapered towards the bottom making the actual design template to appear curved.
Generally, the bigger the shape the more awkward it will appear on the cup.
I have my own rule to not make circles or squares wider than 80% of the base diameter.
A cool idea – but sometimes hard to execute. Please be aware any bands and patterns running around the cup may not join correctly at the seam due to movement when the cup is formed.
Please allow for 1mm movement up and down.
One of the common mistakes is forgetting about bleed.
Bleed is an extra print area added beyond the cutting line giving that extra safety when cups are die cut.
Without bleed we can get white lines visible at the edges of the seam- something nobody wants to see when cup is supposed to be a solid color all around.
We aim to produce design templates later and post them here. For now you can edit or adjust stock cup designs by using our interactive, online cup designer tool if you click ‘Design your own‘ on individual products in the products section.
If you want to know about cup sleeve dimensions please contact us and we’ll walk you through.
If you have any further questions it’s best to ask us when you get YOUR FREE QUOTE.

One of the most significant departures with the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti can be found in the newly redesigned NVIDIA Founders Edition products.
Finally moving away from the blower-style cooler, the Founders Edition cards now feature a dual axial fan design, along with a vapor chamber that's the entire length of the card, as well as a substantially redesigned look.
Utilizing this new found cooling capacity, the Founders Editions cards will also be shipped in a factory overclocked state for the first time, 90MHz for both SKUs.
Since NVIDIA is generally the only person that ships their graphics cards at reference clock speeds, it's difficult to predict if we'll see any RTX cards clocked lower than the Founders Editions, but NVIDIA is claiming that these cards are in fact "overclocked."
Another addition to the Founders Edition cards and all of the third party RTX cards we've seen so far is the addition of a USB-C connector. This USB-C connector is VirtualLink compliant, a standard developed through coordination with NVIDIA, Oculus, Valve, Microsoft, and AMD to provide a one-cable solution for next-generation VR headsets.
The VirtualLink port is capable of providing 4 Lanes of HBR3 DisplayPort, USB 3.1 Gen 2 connectivity, as well as 27W of power delivery.
The RTX 2080 features an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connector, while the RTX 2080 Ti moves to two 8-pin connectors.
The other funky new connector on the RTX cards is NVLink. This communication protocol, previously seen in NVIDIA's Tesla and Quadro products provides a high-bandwidth replacement for SLI and will enable resolutions up to 8K (Single Link on the RTX 2080), and 8K Surround (Dual Link on the RTX 2080 Ti). However, NVLink is only compatible with 2 GPUs, officially ending the days of 3 and 4-way SLI, even if Pascal only featured support in select benchmarks.
Unlike the launch of the Pascal-based GTX 10-series cards, graphics card designs from third-party manufacturers such as MSI, EVGA, and ASUS will be ready and shipping on the same launch date as the Founders Edition (September 20th).
Here's just a small taste of what's in store for the coming weeks as we take a look at these new third-party designs.
So basically, skip it and wait for 30-series?
If you've got a fairly modern card already (ie. 1080 or Vega64) then yeah pretty much.
Unless you're loaded and don't care about money at all then OK do whatever you want. For anyone else who works for a living a 2080 or 2080Ti is a real tough sell.
Insane pricing aside, it seems like ray-tracing is not worth the performance hit. I'm surprised to see the 2080 actually beaten by the 1080Ti in a few cases. I'm sure that some will chalk it up to drivers, etc., but it doesn't inspire confidence. That 2080Ti price is just absurd though.
This card teases ray-tracing really. I believe the card has to run at 1080p resolution just to get average at best framerates. I'm personally going to wait till the next round where these features will start to become more mainstream, more efficient and run at higher resolutions.
You're wrong on that, bud. Check other reviews for 4k Ray tracing.
I'd if you are wanting ray tracing at 1440p or 4k at playable framerates, then most definitely skip this gen, and possibly even the next gen.
Does this card support VRR? I know it supports G-Sync, but VRR is a very specific HDMI 2.1 feature.
I'll wait a lot longer. Since before the 1080 ti my last card purchase was a 460.
Is DLSS supposed to look similar to TAA?
DLSS is actually supposed to match the visual quality of 64x SSAA. We haven't had a whole lot of time (or software) to dig into this with, but it's something we plan on focusing on soon!
Okay good, that's what I originally thought. If a big game somebody loves gets this AA and it works as advertised, then that alone could be enough to warrant upgrading. But that remains to be seen.
Have we stopped doing video reviews for launches now? Or do we just get the roundup in the podcast? I kinda liked those.
I'm really waiting for The Verge's review, they seem to really know what they are talking about.
Isn't "the Verge" the same media outlet that did that insanely bad pc build guide? And then proceeded to block people for criticizing their so-called guide?
Yep, that's why he sarcastically said that.
It's a terrible tech blog that has has always been superficial and often facetious, the epitome of which was that video. Their owner, Vox media, owns multiple equally superficial and generally terrible blogs like polygon.
Running 970 and will wait for 2060 series of cards to be released and finally upgrading out of 900 series of cards.
It's interesting to see the reviews for this poping up, I think Linus summed it up with "It seems rushed"
At the end of the day, they are betting the farm on real-time ray tracing, and now I wonder how much seed money they will/already have spread to every corner of the game world to keep said farm.
Question, this ray tracing, is it proprietary or is it open standard? I've ready plenty on how it works and why its good but I'm unaware if it's a possible future industry standard, or a possible future monopoly.
"Question, this ray tracing, is it proprietary or is it open standard?" Accessible via DXR (DirectX) or Vulkan RT (Vulkan).
I'm going to skip this series of cards. Maybe the 3000 series will offer something worth the cost of the upgrade.
Have fun with 60% of the speed of the fastest graphics card on the market for the next two years.
I can't speak for him, but I'm having plenty of fun with my 970. I can wait for the 30-series and Navi (both within the next year) before making my decision.
That's what I am seeing here. That's quite the early adopter tax for ray tracing "coming soon"
I guess I'll be skipping this gen.
Come on Nvidia this feels like a pre-order for a product for which most of the good features are "Coming Soon to a RTX card near you".
Nvidia's got some great new Technology just like AMD's Vega has that Explicit Primitive Shader IP/etc. The differce being that Nvidia has the billions of dollars extra to provide direct Games/Gaming engine development support so that Nvidia's New Ray Tracing/AI-Tensor-Core IP will get adopted and used in games.
AMD bit of more than they could financially chew with trying to create that Implicit Primitive Shader legacy gaming code conversion process in order to, on the fly, allow legacy games to make use of Vega's In GPU hardware Explicit Primitive Shaders IP.
Nvidia is not even trying to do any sorts of Implicit conversion of any legacy games on the fly so that legacy games can make use of any of Turing's RTX Ray Tracing/Tensor core AI IP. And that's because even Nvidia would not succeed with that complex of a software task. So Nvidia is just helping the games developers explicitly target Nvidia's New Ray Tracing and AI/Tensor Core IP for new games.
AMD's focused too much time and resources on that Implicit Primitive Shaders coding/conversion task's software engineering for legacy games and AMD should have instead spent the money to assist the Games developers in Explicitly Targeting Vega's Explicit Primitive Shader Hardware IP, and forget about legacy games.
So Now things Primitive Shader related will not be ready until Navi is to market as far as targeting the Explicit Primitive Shaders IP that will also be in Navi's GPU Micro-Arch. Hopefully once AMD gets the Eplicit Primitive Shader IP support into the Graphics APIs/its GPU drivers then that support should be back portable to Vega. AMD is still going to have to support the games/gaming engine developers directly if AMD wants its GPU featuers utilized by games.
The best GPU hardware featuers are useless no matter the GPU maker involved unless there is active support from that GPU's maker to assist the games/gaming engine makers and the Graphics API makers in adopting any new GPU hardware based IP. Nvidia will spend the billions necessary because Nvidia has the billions to get the job done. AMD has great technology inside Vega but AMD lacks the billions at the moment to get Vega's IP fully utilized as quickly as Nvidia can. No One's software/firmware enineers work for free and a lot of those folks can command 6 figure salaries or they can easily go and work some place that will pay six figures+.
I can see the Console Games makers being the first to make use of AMD's Explicit Primitive Shader IP but that will be done Via Microsoft's and Sony's/Others' dime more than AMD's. Nvidia's got some new Shader IP also in Turing so that's kind of similar to what AMD's Primitive Shader IP does. But software engineers don't work for free so expect those costs to be passed on to the consumer.
And Still to this Day Joe Gamer does not Know the difference between the Implicit kind of support that is done via a software/middleware conversion process on the Fly and via graphics APIs and the Explicit kid of directly in the hadrware kind of support that exists that is supported by the drivers and the graphics APIs.
Joe Gamer is even whining about Nvidia's Ray Tracing/AI IP as much as Joe Gamer whines about AMD's Explicit primitive Shaders. And there is only one solution and That's for the GPU makers to make the gamers pay more for all the extra costs involved for the GPU Makers in supporting the games/gaming engine makers to tweak their games.
Nvidia increasing its GPUs MSRP/ASPs will help AMD in the long run also. And there are still plenty of older generation GPUs available from both Nvidia and AMD. So if gamers just want to Increase their FPS metrics only and do not care about any new IP, well gamers can get Dual GPUs and game that way with both Vega and Pascal based GPUs and get the extra FPS metrics to brag to Vern about!
Really Nvidia is advancing Gaming for everyone with that new RT Cores/AI Cores IP the very same way that AMD is for Explicit Primitive Shaders that will be of use in games. It always takes time and some folks will always have the funds while others will not. So some will have to wait for the price to come down and game a generation behind, and there really is nothing wrong with that.
Is there any info on which USB controller the card is using?
It's internal on the GPU, I think using the same USB logic they integrated into Tegra.
Curious about the behaviour with VR headsets since they are known to be picky. Of course future headsets with this connector will be tested on NV cards, so not likely to be a problem.
Also, is it possible to plug standard USB storage there?
how is Rt any different from modified T&L?? i did not see a difference in the demo.
2080ti is incredibly fast, but not priced for mere mortals.
7nm stuff next year will be really fast.
There is no frickin way this deserves a Gold Award. This literally is the most forced, lame Gold Award I have seen in the history of this site.
It is a Gold Award - because we probably should..or repercussions.
Sure, but does anyone take what award something gets into consideration, when making a purchasing decision? I don't.
But people who dole out repercussions at Nvidia probably only care about the conclusions page and a shiny badge puts them at ease.
Definitely a Silver for the 2080Ti, possibly Bronze.
The 2080 barely deserves an honorable mention. Sub-$500 1080Ti are showing up in the used market already. Once the 30-series comes out, there'll be a firesale on any remaining 10-series in the wild and the 20-series will be like a fart on the wind.
Out of curiousity, what GPU is it you feel the fastest available consumer graphics card? That is the verbatim reason the award was given.
Your personal "Gold Award" may have different criteria; we've specified why it gets ours, just like various version of Titans have in the past.
Agreed. Just because its still technically the "fastest" doesn't mean you automatically have to give the product the highest rating. I think we've gotten so accustomed to Nvidia leading the charts with minimal effort that it's just become an automatic yawn slap sticker.
The pricing to performance ratio is really bad for being a next-gen card. Could also be showing GPU's are finally starting to hit the CPU/transistor brick wall, which was bound to happen sooner or later.
"For being the fastest available consumer graphics card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti receives the PC Perspective Gold Award. While this GPU is quite pricey at it's $1200 price tag, the performance benefits over the RTX 2080, and previous GTX 10-series GPUs should provide an excellent PC gaming experience for years to come."
The £400 I recently paid for my 1080Ti is looking really good value right now, for 1440p/165Hz monitor it's absolutely perfect. I have no need for HDR or Ray Tracing so the pricing of the new cards is just over the top for the technology that I'd likely never switch on in the first place.
So why did you not show us power consumption figures -AFTER- you overclocked the cards? From what I'm reading and understanding here... your displayed power consumption figures are only at stock with no overclocking applied? How can we know how much power it uses when overclocked if you wont show us? And we have to rely on you, pcper.com to show us because literally -NO ONE ELSE ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET- is showing any power consumption figures at all for the RTX 2080 Ti. So please, do show us how much it uses after being overclocked.
I see that Gold Award but it sounds like a hard pass to me. Until prices drop, I don't see why anyone would buy these cards.
This's still confusing, so if I'm coming from a GTX770 as a productivity not gaming user (architecture student), would this or the 1080ti make sense? like does anyone know if the ray tracing thing is gonna reflect into rendering software or does that seem like a far outcome and software developer dependant...I don't really have the funds to drop on a buzzword tech and not actually be future proofing for anything.
You can check Puget Systems for some nice charts comparing rendering times with a variety of software you likely use, and cards. IF the 1080Ti holds to be similar to the 2080 (ray tracing not withstanding) you might expect "similar" performance... It seems some games do reasonably better on the 2080 so far. While several are improved only 5-7%. We have a lot left to learn through testing, and why some are not necessarily improved.
So, your $ might be better spent on the 1080Ti... at least with initial tests just starting to roll out.
I think I should have kept my NVIDIA Titan Xp, it got 17,600 on Passmark, much more, without a RAID0 Volume. But, CPU and Disk, is always first for speed, no doubt, don't speak.
The scores posted on that web site look like what you get from 8 PCIE lanes, not 16 PCIE lanes. It is confusing, they always make the new devices look better, but, are they?
Just 17,600 vs. 14,800 right now (14,800 on passmark), and even worse without the RAID0 volume, 18,000 vs. there 14,800).
What are you supposed to believe for 2080 and 2080Ti exactly?
1. Not exactly explained on the site How does it work ?
Is it real-time movie viewing software or film production ?
2. Suppose I install the SDK, how do I run the software ? Driver that will give me high quality video ?
3. What video card do I need to get the best video quality ?
4. Do you need a special movie player ? Do it work with YouTube ?
5. DLSS: What Does It Mean for Game Developers?
Would someone please test the 2080 TI via Cinebench? I've seen so many tests, but not one test of Cinebench.
Why are the cards not sorted by performance?
Is that supposed to be a psycho trick?
