Faculty and Staff Size
Student Body
ISL currently offers state of the art facilities that allow us to create and implement the most dynamic Preschool-Grade 12 programme possible. Our 20,000m2 campus is located in the City of Luxembourg and offers the following facilities:
Lower School Building
ISL is building for the future. Our Lower School building was inaugurated for the 2013-2014 school year. This includes:
- 38 homerooms from Preschool to Grade 5 arranged in eight clusters throughout the building, 21 EAL or modern language rooms, a sizeable sports hall which can be divided into two halves, a state-of-the-art auditorium, an extensive library, media room, a multipurpose gym, large cafeteria, science room, cooking room, 3 music rooms, 2 art rooms, offices/administration spaces, external outdoor spaces for sports and recess.
Upper School Building
- 88 fully networked classrooms, 3 libraries, 6 computer labs, 7 science labs, 4 art studios, 1 drama studio, 5 music rooms, 1 darkroom, 3 gymnasiums, 1 fitness centre, 3 cafeterias, 1 auditorium, 1 multi-purpose room, 1 full-sized football field and a spacious playground. ISL shares 25 metre and 50 metre Olympic swimming pools with our neighbouring schools on campus.
This exciting expansion project also included a refit of our current campus offering state of the art teaching and performance spaces uniquely designed to meet the needs of our Upper School students.
Higher Education and Career Counseling
With a team of Higher Education and Career Counseling staff dedicated solely to the task of helping students choose and gain admission to colleges, universities and other institutions of further education, ISL ensures each student finds the right match upon graduation. The Higher Education and Careers Office begins to work on an individualised basis with parents and students, beginning in Grade 10, and also assists with gap year planning and opportunities for work experience and job shadowing.
Language Philosophy, Programmes and English as an Additional Language (EAL)
In order to meet the needs of our international student body we run comprehensive programmes in English as an Additional Language (EAL) for English Language Learners in Grades PS-G9 as well as Modern Language programmes teaching all levels of French in Grades K-12 and German in Grades 6-12.
In the School Year 2017/18 Spanish has been introduced as a part of the Language acquisition programme. At the moment students can choose Spanish in the Middle School and as an ab initio Language in the IB Programme. All Languages offered follow the European Framework Curriculum. As part of the Cascade programme, Middle School students take also Luxembourgish Language and Culture classes to learn more about our host country.
We recognise the important role of the student's first language in facilitating second language acquisition, cognitive growth and the student's overall well-being. ISL, therefore, hosts a number of mother tongue programmes organised by various community groups whose goal is to further students' growth and development in their native languages and cultures.

What are condo manager's rights to enter my unit?
Q: Many times you have stated that condominium management has to be able to enter units. In other words they cannot be locked out. What are my rights as an owner when I have been robbed five times since 1980 and other residents have reported theft as well? The police and management have blamed these incidents on guests of family members. I live alone and never provide my key to anyone.
Our board of directors has access to keys from all the other units. My Ohio attorney states that this is illegal in other states and only one person can have access to the keys. What does Florida law state? What are my rights if I get robbed again?
J.H., Hillsboro Beach
A: Here is the section from FS 718.111: (5) RIGHT OF ACCESS TO UNITS. "The association has the irrevocable right of access to each unit during reasonable hours, when necessary for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of any common elements or of any portion of a unit to be maintained by the association pursuant to the declaration or as necessary to prevent damage to the common elements or to a unit or units."
Notice that management is not included in this section of the statutes. However, the board of directors may instruct the manager to inspect apartments.
Some condominiums require the unit owners to provide a key in the event that they need to access the unit for repairs or inspections. There are procedures to secure entry when owners are not at home. In some situations when entry is required and the owners are not available and no key is provided, the board of directors can force entry into the unit. Obviously, there needs to be some type of communication or attempt to communicate with the owner before entering the unit.
Each state has its own laws and the out-of-state attorney without knowledge of the Florida condominium act cannot advise you as to the proper procedures you are questioning.
Q: After an annual election for a new board of directors, can the new directors assume responsibility and enact their powers without going through a swearing-in process? Is a swearing-in the legal requirement for the newly elected board of directors or can the members assume their director's duties from the moment the election results are announced, with the previous board immediately dissolved?
J.P., Sunny Isles Beach
A: Normally at the completion of the annual meeting, the new board would call to order an organizational board meeting. That meeting should have an agenda with two items — the election of the new officers and the scheduling of the next regular board meeting. There is no legal requirement for swearing in the new board. Some associations require a swearing-in process, but it is not needed.
There is no regular process or procedure for this organizational meeting. I would suggest that the outgoing president, the manager or an outgoing director or officer call the organizational board meeting to order and proceed with the election of the new officers.
Once a new president is elected, the meeting could be turned over to the new president to chair the meeting or have the manager continue the meeting agenda. This meeting would be conducted as any other board meeting and once the two agenda items are completed, the meeting should be adjourned. As a side note, the election of the officers is the only time a vote can be a secret vote.

Law is outlined as a set of rules and laws or specie of commands handed down to the individuals by the sovereign with attendant sanctions, punishments or threats of sanctions. The New Mexico Victims' Rights Project filed a movement asking Brown to set aside the pleas settlement because the mother had not been consulted as required by state regulation. Media law is carefully linked to print media, telecommunications and digital media and should contain some information of contract legislation and employment regulation. Examples of potential programs may include: Sentencing, Death Penalty Practice, White Collar Crime, Internet and Computer Crime, or Healthcare Fraud.
For example, the enactment of the law that offers countryside improvement funds to each congressmen (Php one hundred seventy million per 12 months) and to each senator (Php 200 million per 12 months) to be spent with out corresponding official receipts for any merchandise. John Bell, French Constitutional Law (Oxford England : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press, c1992)(ISBN 0198252714). On the contrary, that is yet another reminder for the Court of Justice of the significance of fundamental rights, and of the significance of its role as interpreter of the Charter.
When they left the nation they colonized for years, there will probably be modification of the Law of the country. Scalia's dissent: Myers (regulation that required President to seek Senate consent to take away postmaster struck down. Realistically, it may take an entire financial meltdown followed by armed uprisings just like the period earlier than 1787 earlier than we will call another constitutional conference.
During the 1950s the court docket discovered it increasingly troublesome to rationalize this twin system of constitutional standards for felony justice under which state courts would admit illegally secured proof, fail to provide counsel for defendants unable to hire them, or compel self-incrimination. Diosdado Macapagal's, meanwhile, has an orientation that's in direction of non secular but also seemingly reasoned in its perspective, and that mainly regulation have to be distributed along with God's steering. It is definitely in step with others he made during the Constitutional Convention. The technique of selection is made doable because of the operate of the Law.
Then they should go to a Muslim Country and there petition the Courts or no matter kind of authorized system they've. Not solely has there been a stealth finish run around the second amendment rights within the realm of home violence legal guidelines and enforcement quite than a transparent debate and correct due process procedures, however different constitutional rights are starting to be sacrificed in an analogous manner. We write this as residents, but we all train on the University of Nebraska College of Law.

I decided to start the series "Not Your Average Love Letters" because I feel like Love is such a hard and confusing emotion, but it can also be the most amazing.
People think it's supposed to be this perfect, easy feeling to navigate.
I'm here to tell you that it's not. You will fight, get confused, you will get hurt feelings sometimes, but that only makes up about 10% of the relationship. Honestly, my boyfriend is my best friend, we tell each other everything, and we get into arguments. However, we always make up, because we love each other.
You each need to give 100:100 of each other because you each need to give 100% of you to make the relationship work!
Now, this wasn't how it always was. . .
(*Disclaimer*- I'm sharing personal events that have happened to me, please respect my choices and what I have to say. Not everyone will fall into this category of going back to their EX, but I'm writing this to help someone who was as confused as I was when I was deciding what to do when I was in this situation. )
(also keep in mind we have been dating for about 2 years now! So this was written awhile ago.)
We started dating right after we met each other, that was hard. I don't recommend it. It was hard to date someone while you are still trying to figure out who they are, and be his friend on top of being his girlfriend. Everything I said in my post about our break up was true; terribly, sadly, honestly true. He was a different person; he was broken himself, after getting out of a bad relationship just 3 months prior of us dating.
We were destined to break up, because he wasn't ready to be in another relationship again, no matter how many times he told himself that he was. However, the day we broke up, I lost a really good friend because that is how we got to know each other; more as friends than as boyfriend/girlfriend.
(When we broke up it hurt, a lot. I gained my independence back though, and that is something I don't think I'd have if our old relationship was still going on that and Happiness. He showed no effort when we were dating last time. But that is what changed!)
Okay so let's jump to December (this is where things get interesting)
We met for coffee in December, after my mom told me I had to clear the bad aura between us, which was brought back into my life when we ran into each other at the work Christmas party. . .
Anyway, I was so scared to see him, but I was happy as well because I looked bomb AF! It was good to catch up and to realize I didn't have any feelings for him anymore.
To even prove my point, I had a date that night with a guy I was somewhat interested in (that ended as fast as that started lol) After that coffee date, we started texting some, really little though. Then he started snapping, and then one thing led to another and we hung out for the first time since our break up and we just talked.
We realized how much we missed each other as friends, and so that is what we became. After a couple of months of being friends, the feelings started piling on. I did not know this then but he had feelings for me starting on our third hang out. For me, I was more guarded. I started getting feelings around the end of February.
We needed to love each other on the level of friends before we took the next step.
People had a lot of opinions about us being friends and on our growing relationship. You can't let people tell you how you feel and trust me, everyone has their own input, I want to say this, however, it is not bad to let them back in, if they changed!
The KEY word being CHANGED.
My friend's mom always said, "Never get burned twice by the same flame." I think that it's probably a good idea not to, but I think that in every situation there is a different answer and not everything is just so outlined.
I am so incredibly happy where we are now.
What I'm saying is, is that it's totally okay to go back to someone, but realize that you may get hurt again. In relationships is there is not a 100% guarantee that it is going to work out, but there is a chance that it is.
Don't go back because you miss them or because you are scared you won't find anyone else because if they haven't changed and they are still the jerk that they were before, you are just setting yourself up for another call to the broken heart hotline, and I don't want that for you!
I knew he changed because he started planning dates to hang out, and he would text me and see how I was doing, he would say cute things that he never said before. He made me feel like a priority, not a chore.
I hope this helps you guys and let me know if you like this new series!! Also comment if you have any topics you want advice for; maybe I can help!!

Implement the right mix of content and digital channels and blend with traditional marketing.
It's no longer enough that a website merely exists as a placeholder. It needs to be an engaging sales tool that's the beating heart of your online presence.
Social media and content marketing also offers a treasure trove of benefits to help you grow your sales pipeline if you get it right. Most businesses know they need to do it, but often don't maintain a consistent and persistent outreach and are missing a trick by not having a fully functioning digital strategy.
Make sure you're part of their conversation and let us help you create a programme of engaging content that can blend with traditional media to boost results.
Adding much more value that ultimately delivers better sales engagements.
Online. It's the first place people go when they're looking for a new technology.

"The music industry is lying to you
it is telling you that you are excited
and you ARE excited
and you ARE excited
Or rather you have confused excitement,
with the fear of missing out.
Which is understandable as these two feelings
are very closely related!"
- Singing of the Bonesaws by Future of the Left
Okay, this isn't about the music industry, but it rings very true in just about every form of entertainment. How sad.
The long-standing tradition of the NHL awards is something that I once had great respect for, but that respect has fallen to the wayside, much like many of the other award shows of our time. With the NHL awards, there is a great history about the awards themselves, the players/coaches/managers that the awards have been named after, the long-standing list of NHL greats who have won the awards and their lasting legacy in fan conversation.
My biggest contention and the reason why I haven't watched the awards in a number of years is the wording of the awards and what the process is to determine that may or many not determine the most accurate depiction of said wording.
The awards, which are not based on actual statistical achievements, are based on a voting process, by a select group of hockey writers and it's a poorly kept secret that there are a good number of those voters who will offer up their personal bias for these awards, which really skews the process of determining who the best in a certain category is.
There are long-standing debates in this day and age, especially when it comes to the Norris Trophy, for instance, about who should be considered to be voted the NHL's best defenseman annually. First of all, the wording of the trophy is ridiculously ambiguous, which offers up a debate within itself and then the debate about who it should be gets even more muddy. When you offer up something or someone as being the best, the determination of that distinction should be anything but muddy, in my opinion.
I think both Erik Karlsson and Drew Doughty have merits for being considered the best defenseman in the NHL and I would even throw Brent Burns into that mix as well, but they all play in slightly different styles, so how do you decide? Sure, leave it up to a group of writers from all kinds of NHL cities, where exposure is limited of some players in some markets.
However, there is one trophy that the winner is voted for that actually has some merit... the Ted Lindsay Award. The Lindsay is award to the the league's most valuable player, according to his peers, voted on by the players themselves. That's a distinction worth talking about, since they are the ones who are playing the game and know who is who in this argument. I wish this award carried a little bit more distinction, but the media doesn't have their fingers in this pie, so why should they boast about it?
Obviously, the NHL doesn't really give a sweet fuck about these sorts of things, because their hype machine works overtime to make sure that you know about the awards and they rile up everyone into a slight frenzy and it's good for business to have these sorts of debates, because it means that everyone is paying attention to their product and talking about it.
All the glitz, the glamour, the B & C-level celebrities... that's just the curdled cream and cherry pit on the shit sundae that is the awards show. I think that's a whole different post for a different time though.
Sure, my points are just piling on to a giant dung pile of crap that won't be considered by anyone and things are not likely to change in my lifetime, but with the marketing of this shit show going overboard over the last couple of days, really brings the opinions up to the surface. I had a few minutes, so I thought I would just jot them down and feel a little bit better about not watching the awards again this year.
I wouldn't say I was missing it, Bob.

It's tempting to say that Room 17B is like a lot of offices in Manhattan, especially the ones in the financial district: whatever work is being done in there is mysterious and produces no tangible product or benefit. But that's only partly true. While it's not clear what line of work the four inhabitants of Room 17B are in, they do generate something of value: laughter.
This office — the title character, as it were, of "Room 17B," 65 minutes of outlandish incongruity occupying a small space at the 59E59 Theaters — contains about 260 file drawers. (The set is by Maruti Evans.) It also contains Mike Dobson, Danny Gardner, Joel Jeske and Brent McBeth, who call their troupe Parallel Exit and have a knack for conjuring Charlie Chaplin and then giving him a demented twist.
Their show isn't so much a play as a series of comic bits, sketches and other oddities, almost none of which can be described without ruining the fun. (A 2008 show by the troupe, "Time Step," had more plot.) The four actors use virtually no dialogue but somehow put across quite a lot. There are a few sketches employing traditional mime (though with very untraditional results). There are some audience-participation moments, including a spectacularly nutty segment built on this formula: one audience member plus one rope plus one paper bag equals one very funny skit.
The whole thing is so charming and mindlessly amusing that it may not be immediately apparent just how much skill is on display. The art here (under Mark Lonergan's direction) is in leading the audience along at a well-calculated pace. If the theatergoers figure out what's going on in any given skit too quickly, the surprise is blown; if they don't figure it out at all, same result. But lead them gradually toward an unexpected punch line: perfect.Continue reading the main story

Marketing 101 - How O'Reilly Could Make More Money from Safari
|Last updated: 7/29/2002; 7:43:44 AM
Marketing 101. Consulting 101. PHP Consulting. Random geeky stuff. I Blog Therefore I Am.Marketing 101 : How O'Reilly Could Make More Money from Safari
Since I'm just easing my way back into these Marketing 101 pieces, here's an easy one – – how (well at least I think) O'Reilly could make more money from Safari. Here's a little bit of background for those who don't know about O'Reilly and Safari.
Possible Bias Disclaimer : I am an O'Reilly author but I didn't get an advance. I don't know if my book will be available via Safari or not. I don't really have a bias but, theoretically, they might someday pay me money for something. I will confess to owning an unbelievably large # of O'Reilly books. My stack is measured in the tens of pounds, not just pounds.
The Background:
- O'Reilly, www.ora.com, is a leading provider of print technical books or as I refer to them "they make their money by killing trees day in and day out"
- O'Reilly has been trying to make real $$$ from online publishing since at least the early 90s. Anyone remember Viola, an early, early, early browser? If memory serves me correctly, O'Reilly put a bunch of money into this once upon a time (I remember being a speaker at "Online Publishing '92" and seeing it there with Dale Dougherty promoting it.
- I have no evidence to support this conjecture at all: I doubt they make much money from online publishing of existing book content.
- Safari is O'Reilly's latest push into making money from online book content. What it amounts to is a web site with the full content of every book online. The books are searchable, well organized and actually really, really nice. I spent some time on it at OSCON since they had it turned on for all the attendees.
- Apparently it's not selling. Or at least it's a long term, missionary sell.
So what can O'Reilly do? The rest of this article focuses on just that question.
Here's a picture of Safari:
One of the really cool things about Safari is that it's NOT just O'Reilly books. Great books like Lincoln Stein's Network Programming with Perl are also here (start of unpaid plug; and that book is just plain awesome, you'll learn more about network coding in that one book than in a university level computer science class; end of plug; return to your marketing 101 article now).
1. Simplify the Pricing for Year 1
Here is the pricing model:
The Safari points system Safari books are valued in points. Most Safari books are worth 1 point; some are 1/2 point, 2 points, or 3 points. Let's suppose you own a 10-point subscription for one year. If you choose only 1-point books, and swap aggressively, you can use 120 1-point books during the course of the year. But if your mix favors 1/2-point books, you can use more than 120 books during the year. Likewise, if your mix tends toward 2-point or 3-point books, you would use slightly fewer books.
This just plain feels complex. I strongly suspect that O'Reilly has a revenue maximizing pricing model here. They are really smart people and they seem to know how to make a buck (hey – they got 6+ authors for the blogging book to do it without an advance – that's knowing how to make a buck). Still people hate complex pricing models. Look at how the Internet just exploded past the online services when ISPs didn't charge by the bit but just by the month for unlimited access.
2. Make Access to the Source Code Easy
I don't know about any other developer out there but I find that many, many programming books often blow this critical step. The the otherwise excellent PHP Cookbook which is a great book – except that I can't find the code online and I have to cut and paste it. If I was O'Reilly I'd make sure that this was a key selling point.
NOTE: O'Reilly may make this possible but I haven't seen it in the marketing literature for Safari. And it's not just cut and paste. I want to be able to suck down all code for something from a book and make use of it easily.
NOTE2: And I do know that in at least one O'Reilly book, the absolutely wonderful Perl Cookbook, the way they handled the source code, at least initially, was just bad (a big gz archive with 1 file for each chapter, not 1 file for each script). Just simple access to the source code would make me very happy.
3. Donate Use of It to Open Source Project Leaders
Given that O'Reilly books are the gold standard for any type of Open Source development, and that O'Reilly is trying to promote a fundamentally new thing (books are common, reading books online, not web pages isn't), it makes sense to me that O'Reilly would want to get other people evangelizing it's use. Why not donate subscriptions to open source project leaders. People like Bram Moolenar (VIM), Brian Behelendorf (Apache), Rasmus (PHP) are leaders in their own communities and could well help evangelize it. If O'Reilly is worried about use of it escaping into the wild, and that's a valid concern, they should read a forth coming essay "Protecting Content" (and, no, it's not ready yet).
4. Integrate It Into Open Source Development Tools
There is absolutely no reason why open source development tools like VI or Emacs or the more sophisticated tools can't have direct access to the safari content. O'Reilly could write a tool level plugin that let the user contextually jump right into Safari. Additionally they could use any revenues generated from this type of integration to donate back to the project that led to the revenue.
5. Tie it Into Komodo and MS Visual Studio
Beyond tying into open source development tools, O'Reilly could also tie it into two commercial products, ActiveState's wickedly awesome Komodo 2 (yes I am a fan here) and Visual Studio (I know, I know). If I was going to do this myself then I would also want to negotiate a revenue sharing agreement with both of these companies so that if any sales occurred, they would be compensated.
6. Drop the .ASP Scripts
If you look at the Safari urls, they look like this:
Now this may seem like a minor point to some, but when you want to market open source things, do you really want to use Microsoft technology? My guess is that something approaching 90% of the Safari potential users don't really like Microsoft and know that .ASP scripts = IIS. To me using Microsoft technology to sell books about Open Source feels like a betrayal. And I know that's just as dumb as a slime covered rock. So what? This is what marketers would call a "perceptual disconnect". Our perceptions of something cause us to disconnect from it. We may not even be aware of why we disconnected — and I'd bet that any kind of market research wouldn't show it. It's an embarrassing thing to admit so people won't admit it but it could well influence purchasing at a unconscious level.
7. Make the User Interface NOT Turn Users Off
When I look at Safari, it turns me off right away. Why? Well I work in PHP, Python and Perl mostly. PHP and Python aren't listed as supported while Java and Perl are. Sure there is a "Programming" category which lists them but I'm an Internet user and I have the attention span of a rabid gnat. If I don't see immediately what I need, I may well go somewhere else. Also it's confusing to the user, at least in my opinion, when the categorization is inconsistent. If you are going to list languages then list them all or put a text note at the bottom of the list that says "More languages? Click Programming". And make it a slightly different color than the current 10 point black type on gray. I'm a developer. I have a high resolution screen (as lots of people in the target audience do) that makes this small type hard to read.
Remember above where I pointed out that my O'Reilly books are measured in the tens of pounds? Well I'm a consultant and I find myself constantly lugging these damn heavy books when I go to my partner's house, a client's or a data center. For example, I carted my copy of the PHP Cookbook off to the O'Reilly OSCON. That's 3 pounds I didn't want to carry. If I was a Safari user then I might not have needed to bring it along. And, while I realize that people do need disconnected access to content, I'm much less concerned about this. With so much development today being done server side, I do less and less local coding. It's just too hard to replicate my servers onto a laptop (sure the laptop runs the same software but the database tables aren't there, etc).
This to me is the single best thing about Safari: Less Weight.

For people who are with their soulmates, Valentine's Day can be a non-issue. Every day feels like Valentine's Day, and there are so many occasions – anniversary, holidays, birthdays – that not all need to be super special and some of the most romantic times arise unexpectedly.
Those who seem to suffer the most are people who don't yet have their Valentine (and I would look at it THAT way – that your Valentine is on the way but not here yet). Why?
If you're not with your valentine, you can feel left out. People around you might be getting flowers or going out but you're not.
My Recommendations
1. Remind yourself that when your One comes along, it will make up for every single bad V. Day you've ever had. You'll be too busy being happy to even remember this one.
2. Go ahead and further the "soul call" that I hope you've sent (if you do my work, you have) by buying a card or gift for the love of your life in advance. It's an affirmation for what's coming and it's super fun to give your love this gift next year or even on your wedding day.
3. Affirm that by next Valentine's Day, you will have romantic time with your One and be glad this year has passed.
For a bit of cheer, in the event you're still RECOVERING from this holiday, check out my uplifting Valentine's Video by clicking the link to be reassured that love is on its way and you're FINE (the truth).

Three multi-size Ti Metal Sound Bores
Noise Isolation: ~20dB +/- 3dB (Custom Version)
Effect Audio Ares II UPOCC cable.
or ACU, allows user to control the sound of the dynamic driver via interchangeable filters. The ACU controls the amount of air in the rear chamber of the Dynamic driver.
How does it work?
Dynamic driver in a hybrid IEM design works in the same way as it's working in a HIFI speaker. The internal structure of the HIF speaker is part of the acoustic design as the total volume of air in the speaker chamber affects the sound of the dynamic driver greatly. In an IEM enjoyment, the shell size vary depends on each individual users' ear geometry therefore the total volume of the air in the shell changes from one and another. If we just dump the dynamic driver in the shell, like what other brands are doing, we will not be able to make sure that each and every custom IEMs will sound the same. The universal demo shell is always much smaller than the actual custom, so there will always be a great difference between the demo and the actual custom IEM.
The solution.
To completely eliminate this problem once for all, we calculated, simulated and came out with an optimized, fixed volume for the rear chamber of the dynamic driver that we know and sure that will always sound the same for each and every pair of the hybrid IEMs*. With the ACU, what you hear from the universal will be what you hear from your custom*.
By introducing the ACU interchangeable filters, from unable to predict how the IEM will sound (without ACU module) to have absolute certainty of very pair will sound the same, we will also have the power to CONTOL the sound. By controlling the amount of air flowing into the optimized rear chamber of the dynamic driver so that we can control the sound signature. We came out with 4 different filters (Balanced, Musical, Energetic and Impact. Balanced has the least amount of bass and Impact is highest) that will give 4 different level of bass response from mildly v shaped to +15dB of bass.
No two audiophiles will ever agree on the amount of bass they want. With the ACU system, users will have the capability to choose how they hear their music. Just like what we did with the Flamenco, we allow user to customize their IEM by themselves.
Cross Sync Uniphase
or CSU, is the fundamental method and techniques of IEM sound design.
The problem
Balanced armature driver is highly inductive. Traditional passive electronics filters in the multi-driver crossover system introduces phase shift at crossover point by 90 degrees to 180 degrees. As the analogy signal coming from the DAC to the IEM is an AC signal, out of phase electronic signals will produce out of face soundwaves from the drivers. Converting the out-of-phase issue from electronic (electronic signal) domain into analog (soundwaves) domain. It results multiple drivers cancelling each other at crossover point and cause a big dip on the frequency response together with a dirty Fast-Fourier Transform analysis.
The Solution
CSU utilizes both electronics filtering design and acoustic path design to create crossover system including passive electronic low pass filter, band pass filter and high pass filters. And the acoustic filters help to eliminate unwanted frequency from the driver and smooth the frequency response. By adjusting the placement of each driver, soundwave phase cancellation at crossover point can be eliminated and all drivers will produce synchronized soundwaves at the same time. Resulting the drivers to produce wider frequency range improve sound pressure level at super high frequency range. And for the users' experience, they will be able to hear more detail, full-bodied and engaging sound with a nature sound stage.
In summary, CSU conjugating frequency domain and time domain into one synchronized system with phase aligned multi-driver IEM crossover system. Delivering an unparalleled coherent and natural sounding IEM design.
* Hearing difference caused by individual ear canal geometry, hearing loss, different types of ear tips, run-in time is not discussed in this case.

Alongside the traces of yoga, an improv enterprise might be pretty easy to get off the ground, as long as rents are reasonable. Earlier than we begin any residence based venture, one thing we want to remember are the over head prices. To be a profitable home-based business proprietor, it is very vital that you simply open a separate checking account solely for your business. For those who personal a camera, starting a freelance portrait photography enterprise might be a really pure technique to make a facet income. I discovered this the exhausting way once I decided to start a contract business just a few years in the past to supply my freelance content material advertising companies. When operating a enterprise from dwelling you should definitely save each receipt from expenses incurred comparable to mortgage, energy, phone and insurance coverage funds.
To begin an vintage refurbishing business at house, you'll seemingly want a couple of thousand dollars to construct out a fundamental workshop and stock it with all the right remedies and supplies. Find the facet business that most accurately fits you, and dedicate your self to creating a big effect with it.. then you must think about growing into more companies. On this series of articles I have tried to identify the various criteria that the potential dwelling based mostly business opportunity proprietor must be in search of. In this article we are going to present you the best home based business concepts for 2016 and 2017 and past, let's go!

Seven Mile Road is a church in Northeast Philadelphia committed to believing the gospel in community on mission for Jesus. Here are some of our key distinctives.
We are gospel-centered.
The heart of the Christian faith is the gospel, or good news, that when there was nothing that we could do to reach God, He reached for us. In love, God the Father gave His Son Jesus to take our place on a cross, pay our debts, forgive our sins, cleanse our filth, make us right, adopt us as children, and give us eternal life. And because of His grace, all of this is freely offered to all who believe. It's a gift. You don't work for it. You don't earn it. You can't repay it. You receive it! It is such good news that we center our lives and our church on it. Everything we are and hope to be flows from Jesus and His gospel.
We are a church.
When most people think of church, they think of a building to go to or a religious service to attend. So an invitation to church is something the average person in our city is not interested in. Yet an invitation to Seven Mile Road is not an invitation to a building or to an event. It's an invitation to see life differently. When the Scriptures refer to church, it's never a building or an event. It's always a people; a people who have responded to the life-altering message of Jesus with repentance and faith and are united in Him. And so Seven Mile Road is a collection of people – imperfect people – who are connected deeply in authentic, transparent, honest community.
We love our region.
We love our city and the suburbs that surround it. More importantly, we believe that God loves it too. Amidst all the richness and beauty of Philadelphia, there is a great deal of brokenness and pain. We're seeking to engage that reality with the message and mercy of Christ. At the same time, our concern extends beyond our region as well. So our passion is seeing the gospel transform everything – our lives, our church, our city, and our world.
We are theologically reformed.
We cling to the Bible as the inspired and authoritative revelation of God for everything pertaining to life and faith. In terms of how God saves His people, we hold to the Reformed understanding that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, all for the glory of God alone. He acts. We respond. And even our response is a gift of faith birthed in us by God's Spirit. God has freely chosen to show grace to us through no merit of our own. These doctrines of God's free, undeserved grace to us eliminate any arrogance and self-righteousness from creeping into our church life. With joy, we confess, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8)
We are gladly complementarian.
Sadly, one of our culture's most salient points of confusion and sin is around the "doctrine of man", particularly around areas of gender and sexuality. Rather than embrace the wisdom of God in purposefully creating us male and female, equal but not the same, in His Trinitarian image, our tendency here is to chafe at our Creator's good intentions for us by flattening sexuality and eliminating all gender distinctions in marriage, in the home, and in Jesus' church. We hope to redeem that trend by calling our men and women to embrace their masculinity and femininity by faith, including calling men to serve our flock as pastors as our Father intended. And we mean it when we say that we are gladly (happily!) complementarian. Grace-born obedience is always accompanied by blessing, and God's blessing has been evident here as our men and women freely pursue their God-given callings with repentance, humility, and resolve.
We are outward-focused.
Like breathing in and out, our community gathers for worship and scatters on mission. As the Father sent the Son, so we are sent into the world to announce the good news of the gospel. The totality of our lives is to be a witness to reality and glory of God. Though we come from all over the region, our missional living gets fleshed out in particular neighborhoods and cities among particular people. This is why our gospel communities on mission (GCMs) are the epicenter of our missional efforts, bringing the fragrance of Christ to bear, one locale at a time.
We are a church-planting church.
When the first disciples of Jesus received His command to make disciples of all nations, they set about to obey Him by planting churches. Read the New Testament and you will see that starting new churches is how the gospel spreads. Therefore, we are committed to planting churches that plant churches that plant churches! We do this by intentionally partnering with and financially supporting new gospel-centered, missional churches. In addition, we are asking the Lord to use our church as a catalyst for a movement of churches that are planted among people like the ones at Seven Mile Road.

Our Customers
Upgrades works with individuals, families and companies in different industries and sizes. Here are some of our corporate partnerships.
Tailor-made Business Danish
Guy Carpenter is one of the world's leading reinsurance brokers with offices and customers around the world. Although the corporate language is English, the Stockholm office has encountered a linguistic challenge with the Danish language. Since many brokers in the Stockholm office work directly with Denmark and Danish customers, they needed to freshen up their Danish language skills. With improved knowledge in Danish, the brokerage is able to offer its customers the best possible service.
"Upgrades works together with our language teacher, Hanne for a tailor-made course in Business Danish. The group will go through everything from numbers and accounting to common challenges and misunderstandings between the Swedish and Danish languages. Luckily, Hanne speaks both languages fluently;)"

Swedish in the gaming world
ComeOn! is a gaming company that offers sports betting and casino games. The company is based in Malta and has a development office in Stockholm. It is a fast growing company with an enthusiastic, international staff. Some of the best developers from around the world transfer to the Stockholm ComeOn! office to work. The corporate language for employees is English. However, ComeOn! offers all of its employees basic Swedish courses with Upgrades:
"Offering Swedish language courses is a part of the Swedish experience. When employees have the basics in Swedish, they are able to more easily integrate into Swedish society and have better contact with their Swedish colleagues."
–Annie Johnsson from ComeOn!
At Upgrades, we are seeing more and more companies that choose to include Swedish training as a part of the company's benefits package. Despite that English may be the corporate language, knowing a bit Swedish is very important in order to enjoy living and working in Sweden. With a basic knowledge in Swedish, employees are more easily integrated into Swedish society. Companies notice that the employees are happier, they stay in Sweden longer and have a more enhanced interaction with their colleagues in the workplace.
Upgrades has worked with ComeOn! for nearly two years. We now have three groups with different ability levels that work together with our fantastic Swedish coach, Anna-Maria.
"The best part of working with ComeOn! is the mixture of the groups and their enthusiastic pace!"
–Anna-Maria from Upgrades
New for this year, we have launched our "Welcome to Swedish" course. In addition to basic language skills, this course introduces Swedish culture and everyday life, such as coffee breaks, winter darkness, summer light and much more!
We wish ComeOn! and Anna-Maria the best of luck!
"Dance" in Swedish
Stefano Oradei is one of Europe's best dancers and was a participant on "Let's Dance" in 2014. Originally from Italy, Stefano faced dance challenges – as well as Swedish language challenges – with Yasmine Cara. Along with Upgrades and his private Upgrades language coach Siri, Stefano worked on his Swedish before, during and after his dance sessions. He succeeded in communication with the jury, Jasmine and the entire Swedish population.
"My Swedish training was exactly what I needed. It was tailored just for me – fun and effective!"
English for better service
One of the world's largest international consulting companies has relied on Upgrades for different assignments over the past years. One such project was to give the support staff members the opportunity to further develop their English skills, linked to the company's specific business area. The aim of the course was to provide better and more professional service for the customers, while the employees received skills development and greater confidence in the language. Upgrades provided an interactive and customized course, ranging from business culture, industry terminology and role-play. The participants were so pleased with the course that they continued with a secondary course as well.
"I think the course was great. It's good to receive help on the little mistakes that we make every day, (for example, yesterday, we worked on prepositions that we were misusing). Also, it's welcoming to be corrected on pronunciation (since we rarely get to talk with natives, we all have so may different accents)."
Hello, how are you?
The Marklund Family from Alvsjö is planning for a move to the United States. 7-year old Axel needs to be prepared in the English language, as well as for a brand new school situation. The focus is for Axel to learn as much English as possible before the family departs. In addition, we want to build and strengthen Axel's self-confidence, so he feels better equipped for his new environment. Together with his Upgrades coach, Nathalle, they go through the basics of the English language in a fun, playful and pedagogical way.
"We go through introductory and everyday greetings, school terms, body parts and other basic concepts, so that Axel feels comfortable and secure from day one. Axel must feel safe and comfortable from day one. We draw, play and use of English apps, it is important for Axel to have fun while he is learning!" Says Nathalie, who already misses Axel, now that he has moved westward with his family.

23 July 2015 | Posted in Food by The Marshalls Family
Marshalls have been selecting and breeding varieties for decades, working with expert suppliers to bring top-quality products to its customers. Here are some highlights from 2000 to the present day.
The turn of the century – a new spud! – 2000
We launched potato 'Exquisa' in the year 2000; a lovely name and a lovely flavour. What's more it gvies higher yields than other varieties of second-croppers, the plants producing lots of tubers in nice rich soil.
Perfect potatoes for lifting just before Christmas, they're smooth , clean – and fit for a plush Christmas dinner. Just pop the seed potatoes in the ground in August (pictured) and get the harvests in Advent and into the New Year.
Heralding the heirloom garlics – 2008
In 2008 Marshalls brought out some lovely garlic varieties, increasing the customers' choice on the types of 'grow your own' garlics for their garden and vegetable plot.
In the turn of the 21st century consumers started to get more and more adventurous with cooking, appreciating the subtle differences between different garlic to produce masterchef-worthy meals.
The softnecks, easy to grow, and storing well are great for the gardeners who want traditional garlics to use through the summer and store into autumn. New in 2008 was 'Solent Wight'- the name paying homage to the milder Isle of Wight/ Hampshire waterway.
The hardnecks including 'Lautrec Wight' – are suited to stir-fries and roasting. This variety originates from south-west France. It has a creamy flavour and a smooth, satisfying texture.
Sweetcorn 'Marshall's Honeydew' – 2012
An exclusive to Marshalls, we launched sweetcorn 'Marshall's Honeydew' in 2012 – as a 'supersweet' variety this is a very high quality second-generation Extra Tender sweetcorn type with large cobs, and a simply sublime flavour. Not only are they sweet, they're tender too so you can eat them raw - straight from the plant!
Grow sweetcorn in grids so the pollen from the male feathers at the top of the plants are more likely to blow on the wind to the tassles on the female flowers beneath.
A self-fruiting runner – 2013
Another exclusive to Marshalls, we launched runner bean 'Firestorm'. The perfect runner bean for a English garden, which has to tolerate the unpredictability of the British weather in summer.
Brilliant red flowers make it on top of its game for both the ornamental and the productive garden.
'Firestorm' is easy to grow and produces masses of flowers, which set well even in poor weather or high temperatures. Cool summers mean less bees and other pollinators. Less pollinators mean less change of flowers setting into beans. The beans are stringless and when picked young they have all the beauty of a classic runner with a more succulent texture closer to French beans. A popular variety much appreciated by our customers.
The best of strawberry breeding
We launched our strawberry 'Marshmello' in 1995, so we're celebrating its 20th birthday this year. Our expert growers have not ceased to trial strawberries since and we've come up with some great varieties since and effective new ways to grow them.
Our misted-tip strawberry plants come from an innovative process in strawberry production, increasingly used by commercial growers to give bigger and better first year yields. Plants are produced by taking early, un-rooted runner tips from specially selected mother plants, these are rooted into individual modules in a mist propagation unit and when planted in late summer the plants establish quickly and flower buds are initiated in autumn rather than spring ensuring they are ready to burst into life to give a high first year yield.
Get our misted-tip strawberry plants including varieties 'Christine', 'Malling Centenary' and 'Fenella'.

(Rosa canina)
Rose hip oil (Rosa canina) is obtained from the seeds of the wild rose bush, normally found in Chile.
Cold-pressing ensures that the nutrient content of the seeds is preserved.
It is believed that the Chileans fiercely guarded the secrets of rose hip oil before it was put to scientific testing to prove its efficacy on the skin.
Rose hip oil has a high content of unsaturated, essential fatty acids, namely oleic (15-20%), linoleic (44-50%) and linolenic (30-35%). They are called 'essential' because our body is not able to reproduce them. They help to nourish and maintain a healthy skin.
This oil is also very high in antioxidant vitamin C. Rose hip oil contains 20 times the vitamin C of an orange.
The combination of the antioxidant vitamins and the fatty acids may contribute to a visible reduction in the appearance of stretch marks, scarring and hyper-pigmentation, when applied directly to the skin.
Its regenerative qualities account for its widespread use in cosmetic surgery aftercare. The oil's absorbency means it is easy to apply and can reach skin cells quickly, helping to repair damaged tissues.
Rose hip oil is essential to the formation of collagen in the skin. Cosmetically, this is also proven to be useful for evening out skin tones and creating a smoothing effect on rough or dry skins.
As an anti-inflammatory, the oil is beneficial for dry skin. For this reason, we have used it rose hip oil in our Shave the Planet Shaving Cream

The music world sustained a huge loss with the death of Cy Coleman last week. He wrote some world-class jazzy pop tunes (Witchcraft, The Best Is Yet To Come) and collaborated on a number of hit musicals (Sweet Charity, City Of Angels, Barnum, On The Twentieth Century), winning a slew of Tony awards in the process. A couple of things interest me about Coleman. The first is his apparent comfort level with collaboration. For practical reasons as well as icky, glory-hogging ones, I've always wished I was one of those artists who could go it alone, but the truth is that my best work has come out of working with others. Having created those hits with someone else (a variety of partners in his case) didn't make him any less-so; it just made the work even more so.
I'm also intrigued by what seems to have been his unassuming, charming nature. It's not something I grew up expecting to find in a great talent, although as I've met more of them, I've come to realize that the Difficult Genius stance is as much of a cop-out as Tortured Genius or Starving Artist. In his capacity as journalist, my multi-talented friend, Rob Kendt (one of many great friends who pitched in on my play, #1 & #2), interviewed Coleman last year. In a recent blog entry devoted to Coleman, he recaps highlights of that interview, coming up with a few great quotes, the first of which is about the importance of looking forward, or at least, not looking back:
I asked him whether he'd been approached about doing a major Broadway revue of his hits, and he said he wasn't very interested: "A lot of these things happen because the composer goes after it. I'm just one of those people who don't want to go back and look at all that; it's over. I just keep moving and looking forward; it's my nature. People ask, 'What's your favorite song?' I say, 'The one I'm writing.' They get very disgusted with me."
There's also one of those neat artists-helping-artists stories where La Fitzgerald takes on the role of wise elder further along on the path:
"I played Bop City opposite Ella Fitzgerald and Illinois Jacquet. Ella said nice things to me; she was a very sweet woman. I had to follow Illinois and her doing 'Flying Home'; I didn't even have a drum, I had guitars in my trio. And she said, 'Cy, calm down. You're never going to play louder than me and Illinois doing "Flying Home," so why don't you just cool it, do your thing? They'll come to you eventually.' It was sweet advice, the best advice I could have possibly gotten at that time."
And finally, a terrific quote on the mystic chaos that is the creative process:
"People ask, 'When you see a beautiful sunset, do you go home write some wonderful thing?' I say, 'No, I'm more like Beethoven: opus 1, 2, 3, and 4.' But that's not true exactly; I'm affected by things, but it has to come into my blender and then it comes out.
"For example, in The Life, the duet at the end between the two girls, that's a killer. I was in Scotland looking at the fog and the ducks flying and a melody came to me. Now, it's a very raw, R&B kind of score, but I decided to use that melody; it had a very rural feeling. There was a purity there."
Funky Scottish ducks. You gotta love it...

Posted by Meimei on March 19, 2005
Hi there,
From one of the emails I got today,there was a
sentence that read
"All official National Holidays are off of work, and everyone gets 12-day Lunar New Year vacation."
The first half of the sentence didn't look right to me,I suppose the sender meant to say ALL official National Holidays are days off.
However, my question is if there is a sentence goes like this
"All holidays are off"
what does it really mean when it stands by itself regardless of what the sender intend to say. It means the holidays are available or unavailable ?

This post explains how to build a simple video magnifier with Raspberry Pi and camera models from 2018.
Fhain hacks
This post explains how to build a simple video magnifier with Raspberry Pi and camera models from 2018.
This hack shows how to create an interactive "visual echo" using Raspberry Pi, the Pi camera and a projector. The camera grabs a photo in regular intervals and displays the scene onto a screen, overlaying older pictures that are fading out.
Let's start the blog with a post that I've wanted to write for several years. I built this video magnifier in 2014, so technology-wise it's a bit outdated now. I hope to soon publish an improved version (Edit: Raspberry Pi video magnifier 2018). Until then, the instructions may still be helpful.
With progressing age, my grandmother had more and more difficulties reading. Finally she was prescribed a video magnifier by her doctor, and her insurance agreed to pay the device, a professional one which cost several thousand Euros. Now she was again able to enjoy books, newspapers, letters and photos. She even baked again by recipe, although that meant to go to the living room, read another line in the recipe, keep mumbling it on her way back to the kitchen, and hopefully get one step further. That's when I built a second device, this time simple and low-cost.

Transmission, fuel line, and every other part of the engine and the cabin rely on digital innovation. In fact, luxury cars are built with over 100 microprocessors. Digitalization allows car manufacturers to track a specific part to each car and to closely monitor performance and quality, one customer at a time.

Ethics and Economics Resources week 8: Evaluating prosperity
Additional resources for understanding the 3 conceptual approaches used in the Quality of Life chapter of the Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi report.

Subjective well-being
NB It is important to distinguish between hedonic well-being (how good or bad you feel at any particular moment), and life-evaluation (how well people think their life is going), since these can point in different directions (e.g. with regard to activities like child-raising and work).

Fair Allocations
"The theory of fair allocations studies the allocation of resources among people with different tastes and
abilities, subject to a number of fairness criteria, such as "no-envy" (i.e. no agent should prefer another's bundle),
"solidarity" (e.g. no agent should be hurt by an increase in available resources) and "lower-bounds" (e.g. no agent
should prefer the equal-split solutions)."
