Atlantikwall – 'Anura'
Reeling out of the zeitgeist, the second album from Atlantikwall presents an (un)timely reminder of the ruinous folly of fortified borders –ever destined to regress into the deformed remnants of ideological excess.
The album revels in layers of animalistic, braying, frog-calling guitars that form lurching texture puzzles that stagger and collapse around cyclical-shift drum patterns and primitivist grooves. These foundations harbour fragmented vocal chants, congealing into elongated songs that address themes of last-ditch reproduction in the face of impending extinction; resource wars fought by farmers in lands encroached by desertification; reinstatement of human sacrifice as response to environmental catastrophe; lone refugee journeys and modern-day wall-building as psychic splitting.
Limited to 50 copies, each including a download code (also available separately from bandcamp).
Buy from Norman Records or Bandcamp
Winner of the coveted '69' position in The Quietus' best albums of 2016 list
ATLANTIKWALL Limited Edition Chrome Cassette in Hand Printed Recycled Cardboard Slipcase (including download code) available exclusively from Norman Records – SOLD OUT!
Like the weird zoomorphic concrete bunkers crouched along the North European littoral from which the name is lifted, Atlantikwall tracks are looming, colossal structures, moulded out of guitar density overload, atavistic rhythms and cyclical chants.
A tape of two halves: one side vocal the other instrumental, with songs constructed on a bedrock of overlapping loops and skeletal, primitivist drumming; the gradual heave of tectonic phase shifts opening up strange fissures of churning organic textures. On top of these foundations we find the stroboscopic buzzsawing guitars of 'Constellation', interlocking arpeggios subsumed into billowing tonal smears in 'Passage Colours', the unmoored feedback of 'Downriver' snaking through alien FX fauna and the psychedelic afrobeatesque noise of 'Duneskin' juggernauting into the sun.
Digital download available from Bandcamp
Out via a new tape label based on the island of Anglesey (or Ynys Môn) called Sivilised, this self-titled collection of long form lo-fi tribalism is anything but. It's the sort of record you'd find halfway down the rabbit hole of the Nurse With Wound list, seemingly impossible to attribute to a mortal from this dimension. A bedrock of looped simplistic drum figures and confused guitarscapes battle it out with all manner of overlapping gloop and – on the first side of the tape – half-murmured chant-like vocals. The artist has clearly overlapped way too many takes, but it has the effect of adding weight to the five colossal tracks on offer (rather than burying their key elements in a confused haze). 'Rebuild The City Lies' opens with a kind of confused song of relatively complicated multitracked singing somewhere between King Sunny Ade and Mark E Smith. To clarify, this is no lo-fi, outsider project. The artist behind Atlantikwall is an intensely clever arranger, and each of the 10-minute plus tracks builds and shifts with a keenly thought out logic, occasionally parting the sea of criss-crossing textures and chanting for a perfectly placed guitarpeggio.
Side two's instrumentals are arguably more focused, and somewhat less weirdly joyful. 'Downriver' spends 12-minutes slowly marching drums, feedback, and piercing synth tones, sounding like Jad & David Fair covering Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine in their bedroom, and winding up as engrossing as a La Monte Young outing. 'Duneskin' closes the album with 20 minutes of higher energy beats that slowly grow and shift behind a barely changing set of repetitive guitar fuzz and gloopy keyboard mud. The billowing shards of amplifier noise and psychedelic sounds ride the funkified drumming deep over the horizon, to extremes $hit & $hine would proudly put their name on, and it's an immense experience to follow it all the way. Five tracks of epic sprawling repetitive lo-fi percussive gloop you can nod your head to? I may have found my favourite cassette tape ever.

I was listening to this whilst doing something completely different and for some reason got it into my head that it was Death in Vegas. "This new Death in Vegas" LP is really super" I thought. The entire first half of the first side of the tape is taken over with a ten minute track called 'Constellation' which I can't really explain using words. It's brilliant, it sounds like a big jumble of Sun Ra, Throbbing Gristle, Moondog and Animal Collective. This is true cosmic music with an endless barrage of vocals which splurge over a squelshy bedrock of electronics and afro-beat drums.
Despite sounding completely different, 'Passage Colours' is just as great. It starts gently with watery Sonic Youth styled guitars nestling alongside concrete drones but then in come vocals leading to the sort of thing you'd imagine Fat White Family would sound like if you had never listened to them and just read press blurb.
Elsewhere we get a kind of stumbling Thinking Fellers style sonic slop before the tape finishes off with two instrumental tracks, the first of which is a droning instrumental piece which leads to the closer 'Duneskin' which has flanging disorientating effects which kind of remind me of Can 'Future Days' being reworked by Factory Floor.
It's interesting stuff this, the vocal tracks are particularly effective and if you think that the likes of Goat and Animal Collective are not as far out there than you might wish these days then you need to check this out. Lots of music too, so much music.

Dear Pam--
I submitted a lesson that was accepted into the Library. But when I found it in the Library, the title and the description had been completely changed. How come?
Suspicious in Sussex
Dear Picious,
First off, let me just say, "Thanks for sharing!" Your bonus good karma points are winging your way (can't you just feel them?!).
When you submit a lesson to the Library, you are submitting a copy of the lesson--your original remains untouched in your files. The copy gets a new ID number unique to the library copy. So nobody has messed with your personal stuff.
When the lesson is reviewed before inclusion in the Library, often the moderator will change the title, so that the lesson will appear in searches with lessons of similar content. It is also standard procedure to remove any student names from titles as well (unless the lesson was authored by a student, in which case their name WILL be in the title).
Lesson descriptions are also formatted for consistency in the Library. It's not that we thought anything was wrong with yours! It was done to make sure people searching for it will find it, and understand at a glance what is in it!
The moderator will always copy your original lesson description into the comments, and make sure your original lesson name is in either the keywords or the comments, so that searching the Library by the original title will return the new copy of the lesson.
Hope this helps!
Happy VizZling!

Radcliffe finds 'vigorous kisser' Emma a bit of animal
London, Nov 11 (IANS) Actor Daniel Radcliffe has discovered that his co-star Emma Watson is a 'vigorous' kisser after locking lips with her in 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallow'.
'I was ambushed by that! That was incredible, I was not expecting that. I always thought it was going to be this soft, sensual sort of moment and suddenly there was this vigorous kissing happening to me,' thesun.co.uk quoted him as saying.
'She is a bit of an animal, she is, she was great. But then I'm not complaining, there are tens of thousands of men that would cut off limbs to be in that position,' he said.

People come into our life disguised as angels, and sometimes angels come into our life disguised as people. It is possible to see God anywhere. All it takes are open eyes and ears and the willingness to see miracles. They are everywhere. God is as available as we are. Having friends that inspire us to rise to higher and greater levels is an awesome gift. Surround yourself with people that inspire you to do better and inspire your friends as well. It is a profound truth that people we hang out will shape the path that we travel.
My life away from home has been very tough but I give thanks to the Lord for blessing me with wonderful friends who are always there for me in times of need. Old and new friends who lift me up, pray for me, and who boost my morale during those times when I have lost the will to go on. They are my voice of reason and my prayer warriors. I would not have survived my life here in the U.S. without the help of these persons I call my friends.

Tazo tea is yummy. They make several delicious varieties including China Green Tips, which is the best green tea you can get in a bag. I was very happy for a while when I discovered this. But then, lo and behold, I found out that Starfucks owns Tazo, and this disturbed me.
Then I thought, hell, we buy Peet's coffee almost exclusively. Once upon a time, Peet was just a local chain but now it seems to be as ubiquitous as Starfucks. Why do we think one is good and the other evil? Is there any difference?
Yes, there is. Despite its growth, Peet's is still primarily in California and only has 200 stores. Since I live in CA, it seems like Peet's is as ubiquitious as Starfucks, but apparently this is only an illusion. Starfucks, on the other hand, is in 40 countries and has something like 6500 stores. It's also the hotbed of controversy, in everything from union busting to anti-semitic attacks. (One thing I have never associated Starfucks with is Jews, but should have guess it was part of the secret cabal. Which, BTW, I'm still waiting for my invitation to global domination).
On the plus side again for Peet's, it operating "the only completely green roasting facility in the world" right here in Alameda.
So, although Peet's is a chain, it is far superior to Starfucks, which is why I am completely justified in calling the latter by a juvenile name.
'Nough said.
I was searching online for articles about how to safely drive a convertible. It seems that most "safety tips" are along the lines of "wear sunscreen" and "birds poop in open convertibles." I guess there's no real difference in driving them. But I did run across this blog posting about how driving a convertible makes you an asshole* which I found rather amusing. Of course, driving a Geo convertible does NOT have this affect, since they are too cute to cause such personality disorders.
BTW, you may have noticed that I have made a new nerge category just for the Geo called nergeo metro.
*Be sure to read the comments on this post.
I read this interview with Maurice Sendak in Newsweek and found it absolutely hysterical. When he talks about the source for the monsters of Where the Wild Things Are — his relatives from the old country — I recalled my own experiences being poked and prodded by relatives under the guise of affection. Those old cousins *were* a little scary. And I suppose my own urges to pinch and squeeze others affectionately is the last remnant of the dead culture of the shtetl. The next generation of American Jews have lost all the strangeness of the ancestors.
I got to see this guy dance at the EP fuckin-A today as part of the Native American Heritage Month Celebration. We sat in a circle with the drum in the center, which was played by a husband and wife. Let me tell you, this dance is unbelievable when it's right in front of you. All the singer and dancers taught us so much. It was hard to go back to our desks.
Since I'm with K for the rest of my existence, I no longer have foolish love affairs. And being pet-free, I no longer adopt irresistibly cute animals who prove to have behavior problems or psychological disorders. Apparently, though, it's a basic human need to behave in a fool-hardy manner from time to time. And so, K and I bought a very cute car, site unseen, with no idea yet how much this car is really going to cost us.
But hey, it gets 45 mpg. It's a Geo! CONVERTIBLE!
K and I have decided that convertibles are much better than motorcycles. Compare my new Geo Metro with my old 1983 Kawasaki GPZ550:
You don't have to wear a helmet — so you can look up and see the sky
You can sit side by side with cute people you know while they look cool
You can play the radio
It's got a nice heater
It's got an airbag
We have named it the Red Hot Chili Pepper and Ziggy Stardust. Two names because it so rules!
One of the mysteries of life is grief. For as many times as I've experienced it, it's never been the same at all. Sometimes it feels like running into a brick wall; sometimes it feels like slowly sinking into a swamp; sometimes it's like being stung, in long intervals, by a swarm of bees. Sometimes you want a shrine and countless physical reminders of the one who is gone; sometimes you don't want to see any sign of them.
I lost an old friend recently to cancer. He was someone that I was no longer close to, but had once spent a good deal of time with. I would also bump into him at least once a year. Over the years, I watched his pitch-black beard turn to gray and then head for white. When I heard several weeks ago that he had died, I didn't have a strong reaction. I was just stunned.
Every now and then, though, I think "Am I really never going to see Chanan again?" and I feel so incredibly sad. I can hear his voice so clearly. He was just someone who was always around, joking with me. Lots of people loved him, he was that kind of person.
Yesterday I was at the DMV and saw a girl helping her old grandma get her ID renewed. A few year's ago, I took K's grandma to the DMV for the same thing. This old woman even resembled K's grandma with her straight bob haircut and no makeup. I felt like crying looking at her. It's been several months since we lost grandma… I still forget she's gone sometimes. You know, in those split seconds here and there when I think of something funny she would say. Lots of people loved her, she was that kind of person.
It's hard when the world loses the lovable ones.
You'd think now that we've all been through the nothingness that was Y2K, people would have learned their lesson about apocalyptic predictions. To whit: they are quite obviously bullshit.
The Y2K frenzy started getting whipped up early on in the 1980s, and many of us gleefully danced to Prince's "1999" as a song commemorating the end times. 1999 seemed like a million years away, so if the world were to end then, so be it — we'd go out partying.
Man, that does look like a long time ago, doesn't it?
Then it was actually the 1999, and everyone started to believe the world really was going to end, or some massive apocalyptic crap was about to erupt. The fact that much computer code was created with allowing for four-digit years added to the panic. I was a coder at the time (back then I was called a "computer programmer"), and I had a hard time convincing the company I was working for that converting the company computer systems to allow for the year 2000 was not a big deal. I don't think they believed me until the computer network didn't explode January 2, 2000.
But, humans evidently prefer to be in a state of fear and panic, because less than a decade later, they are getting all freaked out 2012. Ya know, the year the Mayan calendar ends. There are those who believe that they ended the calendar to coincide with the end of earth.
During our morning commute, K and I noticed a lenticular cloud hovering over Mount Tamalpais, which we couldn't recall having seen previously. This immediately brought to mind K's Mom who, when she sees these clouds over Mount Shasta (where she lives), believe that this is really "lenticular cloaking" to hide the UFOs hovering over the mountaintop. And this led to our discussion of UFOs and 2012.
K said, "If the Mayan were smart enough to predict the end of the world, how come they didn't predict the end of their civilization? This is just like the predictions of Nostril damn us."
As you may have noticed, whenever there's a large disaster in the U.S. — like 9/11 — folks immediately start claiming that Nostradamus predicted it. Evidentally, he only cares about disaster that affect Americans or Europeans, 'cause no one starts quoting Nostradamus during things like The Killing Fields or genocide in Rwanda.
When I was done laughing at K's purposeful and clever mispronunciation, I commented on the "lenticular cloaking", to which K responded, "You George Clinton, the P-Funk master, is about to come off that mothership."
In any case, if you feel your life is empty of panic, fear, suffering and especially gore, you can toddle over to your local megaplex and enjoy(?) the Hollywood interpretation of 2012. According to K's brother, also K, it's the "biggest collection of junk science I've ever seen."
I think the biggest disaster in that film is how John Cusack, once the funniest person around, has fallen so far. Sad, sad, sad.

The Patriots have enough post-Super Bowl bad news on their plate without one of their players getting arrested. Defensive back Willie Andrews, a second year player, plead not guilty this afternoon to a possession of marijuana charge. According to the Boston Herald, Andrews was pulled over by the Lowell police, who then detected a "strong, pungent odor." The police officers claimed that they found a half-pound of marijuana with a street value of $500. The charges are another black mark for the Patriots after the Super Bowl, but it is not the first time a Super Bowl team had a player in legal trouble before, or after the big game.
In 1999, Atlanta Falcons safety Eugene Robinson received an award from the Athletes in Action religious group the day before the Super Bowl. Although the day began with promise for Robinson, it was a different story at night. Robinson was arrested at 9 PM on Biscayne Boulevard, where an undercover cop was in a prostitution sting operation. It was reported that Robinson drove up to the cop and offered her $40 for oral sex. Robinson was released two hours after his arrest, and was allowed to play in the Super Bowl against the Broncos. However, Robinson was beaten on an 80-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, and the Broncos easily won their second straight Super Bowl.
The next year, a high profile arrest was made against a player who wasn't in that year's Super Bowl. Baltimore Ravens defensive star Ray Lewis was attending a party after the St. Louis Rams beat the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. At the Cobalt Lounge that night, two young men were stabbed to death. Lewis was charged with the murders along with two men that were long time associates of Lewis. The fight was suspected to have started within Lewis's entourage, who left along with Lewis when gunshots started to fire. However, Lewis was ultimately found not guilty of the charges. Lewis returned to the Super Bowl as a player the next year and won the Super Bowl XXXV MVP award.
In 1988, Stanley Wilson was a fullback for the Cincinnati Bengals, who were about to play the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIII. Wilson had been a success despite having violated the NFL's drug policy twice before, and he had been suspended for all of 1987. The night before the Super Bowl, Wilson was found snorting cocaine in his hotel room by Bengals coach Sam Wyche. After the Bengals staff took Wilson out of the hotel, Wilson slipped away and went out to buy more cocaine. Wilson did not show up at the Super Bowl, and he did not contact the Bengals team again until the next day. After the Bengals narrow loss in the Super Bowl, once the news got out about Wilson, he was suspended from the NFL for good.

In my previous article, I threw out the link to the Common Grounds website with pics of the new ships. As the day has gone on though, more pics have been turning up- we've now got some idea of the stats and stuff. Additionally, Matthew Hipkin has just mentioned in the comments that there's a Flickr stream with a lot more pics of the ships available.
Two of the named pilots for the HWK-290 have been revealed with the following info:
Jan Ors (25)
Pilot Skill: 8
Attack: 1
Agility: 2
Hull: 4
Shield: 1
Action Bar: Focus, Target Lock
Upgrade Icons: Elite Pilot Skills, Turret, Crew
Card Text: When another friendly ship at Range 1-3 is attacking, if you have no stress tokens, you may receive 1 stress token to allow that ship to roll 1 additional attack die.
Roark Garnet (19)
Pilot Skill: 4
Attack: 1
Rest of stats obscured in photo
Action Bar: Focus, Target Lock
Upgrade Icons: Partially obscured, Turret, Crew
Card Text: At the start of the combat phase (choose) 1 other friendly ship at Range obscured Until the end of the phase, treat obscured's pilot skill value as 12.
Wow, so I kinda buy that the HWK-290 is a small-base ship because it's stats are somewhat similar to a Y-Wing, really. It can take a crew member though, so that does make it kind of interesting. Wonder if a laser turret will be added in Wave 3 or it'll be stocking the Ion Cannon Turret?
Also, it's shockingly cheap, innit? I mean, Garnet's ability is sorta like Veteran Instincts+ and it's still only 19 points. A lot of folks, me included, were hoping for a Z-95 Headhunter to provide a cheap swarmy-type option for Rebels, it would appear the HWK is going to fill that bill. It's way customizable, which is going to make things pretty interesting as time goes on.
Colonel Jendon (26)
Attack: 3
Agility: 1
Hull: 5
Shield: 5
Action Bar: Focus, Target Lock
Upgrade Icons: Dish Array type thing, funky raygun symbol (Slave 1 Secondary symbol), 2 Crew
Card Text: At the start of the Combat Phase, you may assign one of your blue target lock tokens to a friendly ship at Range 1 if it does not have a blue target lock token.
For people saying the Lambda was going to be support only, not a chance. Look at the stats on that thing- Attack 3? Hull and Shield of 5? It's close to another Slave I for the Imperials, complete with the raygun symbol that will allow for a Heavy Laser Cannon and even a couple of crew members.
After that, we have a picture of ship upgrade with the dish array symbol. It's called Advanced Sensors and costs 3 points. It's card text says, "Immediately before you reveal your maneuver, you may perform 1 free action. If you use this ability, you must skip your "Perform Action" step this round."
Last (for now, at least), there are two sample squadrons featuring some Wave 3 ships. The first is an Imperial squadron-
Jendon (26)
w/ ST-321 (3), Advanced Sensors (3), Ion Cannon (3)
Scimitar Squadron Bomber Pilot (22)
w/ Cluster Missiles (4), Assault Missiles (5)
The last two ships in the squadron are Interceptors.
So break that down for a second- couple of interesting things. First, the Lambda has a title available to it, apparently. It must be fairly interesting since it costs 3 points. Secondly, the Bomber can at least stock 2 tubes worth of missiles.
The Rebel Squadron breaks down like this-
Kyle Katarn (21)
w/ Ion Cannon Turret (5), Recon Specialist (3), Moldy Crow (3)
Nova Squadron Pilot B-Wing (24)
w/ Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6), Proton Torpedoes (4), Fire Control System (2)
The second B-Wing is the same except it isn't stocking regular PTs.
Breaking that down, it appears you can take a ship title with the HWK-290. Nerds everywhere will rejoice that they can fly Katarn in the Moldy Crow.
Similar to the Bombers, the B-Wing can stock two tubes worth of Torpedoes. Wonder what the Advanced PTs do that make them 50% more expensive? Fire Control System also sounds intriguing...
So there ya go. What'd I miss?

Satsuma is a city in Mobile County, Alabama, United States. At the 2000 census the population was 5,687. Known prior to 1915 as Fig Tree Island, the city was named after the Satsuma orange, which was successfully cultivated and grown in Alabama starting in 1878, a gift from Emperor Meiji of Japan. Satsuma is a part of the Mobile metropolitan statistical area.
The area was inhabited for thousands of years by differing cultures of indigenous peoples.
- 1878 Farmers introduced Mandarin Satsuma oranges to Alabama from Japan for cultivation

The keywords I'd use for this product is, natural, raw, Vitamin D, sunshine and so forth. This microalgae is richly sourced in Vitamin D and a high amount of chlorophyll. Let me shortly tell you the great benefits of this powder:
Renew cells in your body through Vitamin D, iron and folic acid.
- Helps the immune system.
- Detoxification and cleanses toxins and other unwanted materials from the liver, gallbladder and kidneys.
- Vitamin D and K
- Great for the nervous system.
- Maintain the colonic function, by balancing the gut flora.

- Healthy thyroid.
It's hard to believe all these nutrients within this 100g pure powder, contains so much benefits! I want a bigger bottle!! Just like the previous post, I placed one teaspoon of this powder in cold water and drank my way through it. It tastes like cold green tea, not too bitter.

Something unusual is happening in Washington. Bipartisan legislation is unfolding that would embrace serious climate goals and create a commission to recommend the most cost-effective ways of achieving these goals—and your Member of Congress is an original cosponsor!
It's not enough to play defense against attacks on climate action. We need to see positive steps—and this was a big one.
When our leaders put progress above politics, they deserve our thanks. Please join us in sending your Representative a note of appreciation today!
Thank you for cosponsoring the Climate Solutions Commission Act (HR 6240)
Dear [Decision Maker],
Thank you,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

Larry Millett, a native of Minneapolis, spent much of his career as a writer, reporter, and editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He's written several books on architecture and history as well as mystery novels. Today, he talks with Teri Knight about his latest called "Heart of St. Paul – A History of the Pioneer and Endicott buildings". These buildings were built in the late 1880's and were skycrapers at the time. Millett talks about his favorite elements of the buildings that you likely never knew existed and speculation on what seemed to be several mysterious fires set as the two competing buildings were being constructed. larrymillett.com

Computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers troubleshoot equipment malfunction problems. They provide machine maintenance and they repair equipment commonly used in office settings. They are typically referred to as one of the following:
- Field Technicians
- Computer Repairers (Computer Service Technicians)
- Office Machine and Cash Service Servicers
- Office Machine Repairers
- Automated Teller Machine Servicers
Field technicians travel to companies to diagnose and repair equipment problems. They provide scheduled maintenance. Computer repairers work with computer equipment; they evaluate the server and the efficiency of the mainframe. They install computers and answer questions to provide technical and customer support. They often monitor hard drives and other data storage components to determine if a replacement solution is needed. They work closely with bench technicians who diagnose computer problems through installing software onto the computer.
Office machine and cash register servicers typically troubleshoot and repair office copiers and retail store cash machines. Office machine repairers work to resolve minor equipment issues such as copy problems and broken lamps. They usually replace parts. Automated teller machine servicers install ATMs. They provide resolution to ATM technical problems associated with the machine not reading or misreading the patron's debit card. They repair and remove faulty parts.
Computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers use equipment tools to diagnose problems. Such tools include multimeters, software, and other forms of hand tools. The job prospects for computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers is expected to increase as more technicians transition into self-employment.
Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repair Job Responsibilities
Computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers work in areas that receive much sunlight. They mostly work indoors, with the exception of field repairers who travel as part of their job responsibilities. They may work in repair shops and in ventilated surroundings. ATM repairers are expected to work in small spaces and may work outdoors in inclement weather.
Computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers typically work from forty hours per week to fifty hours per week. They work overtime, weekends, and most holidays.
Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repair Training and Education Requirements
Computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers must be knowledgeable in the field of electronics. They are required to have a minimum of an associate's degree and a certification in their field of expertise. They may complete training through an approved and accredited vocational school that offers electronics as a major or through experience gained in the military. Most training is achieved on-the-job, but technicians are still expected to have formally received instruction in technicians and equipment repair principles. New repairers and technicians must demonstrate their knowledge through on-the-job practicum in order to be considered for a recommendation to a certification program. Equipment repairers and technicians are required to have a driver's license to operate company vehicles.
Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repair Certifications
Computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers are required to be certified in their field of expertise. They may pursue various options to become certified. They must pass a written test, meet course prerequisites, and demonstrate their knowledge through practicum.
They may pursue a certification program offered by the Electronics Technicians Association (ETA). The ETA offers the following Basic Electronic Certifications:
- Associate Electronics Technician (CETa)
- Student Electronics Technician (SET)
- Apprentice (APP)
Students who complete the Associate Electronics Technician program receive an associate level designation. The certificate is called the Associate Certified Electronics Technician. Technicians with two years or less experience may pursue this certificate. Technicians who have also received their education from a trade school may also pursue this course of study. To become certified, students must pass an exam before they pursue further course options. The program takes two years to complete and the certificate is good for two years, after which graduates of the program may pursue a Journeyman certification. The program offers a exam study guide. There are no renewals for the associate certificate.
Students who pursue the Student Electronics Technician Certification are typically enrolled in high school. They typically don't have experience in the field. The program provides training for students to pass to the associate level certificate. The program offers a practicum in which students use their hands to learn materials and apply principles. The Apprentice Certification is centered on a telecommunications curriculum in which students learn current theory and some technical math. They train in the procedures and principles of technical communications. They must be able to demonstrate their ability through practicum.
The ETA also offers the Motorola Electronics Certification. The program trains technicians to service Motorola products. Technicians take courses in general electronics. They must take the Associate Certified Electronics Technician exam to obtain a Motorola certificate. The program also offers training coursework for technicians to become a full Journeyman. Technicians take a series of tests on theory and a hands-on practical exam. Students who choose this option may complete one of the following additional certifications:
- Wireless Communications (WCM) Certification
- United States Motorola Service Station (USMSS) Certification
- Senior (CETsr) Certification
- Master (CETma) Certification
Computer, automated teller and office machine repairers may also seek certification through The International Society of Certified Electronics Technicians (ISCET). The ISCET offers the Certified Electronics Technician (CET) program. The certification is voluntary. The program aims to help technicians increase their knowledge in the field and advance professionally. The following certifications are offered by ISCET:
Associate Level Electronics CET
Multimedia Systems Technician Journeyman Level (MST)
Electronics Systems Associate (ESA)
The Associate Level Electronics CET certification requires technicians to pass the exam with a minimum score of 75%. The test is multiple-choice and it tests the technician's knowledge of math, troubleshooting, and electronics principles. The graduate of this program will receive a certificate that is valid for no more than four years.
The Multimedia Systems Technician Journeyman Level (MST) certification requires technicians to also pass an examination. This certification centers on a "hands-on" curriculum and provides a study guide that prepares students for studies in installation procedures and electronics equipment features. Most of the lectures are conducted online through a distance learning technology. Study materials are saved onto a disk.
The Electronics Systems Associate (ESA) certification program explores electronics principles such as DC and AC. Students must pass all four parts of the exam to become certified and receive certificates in each part. They may also complete the Associate Level Electronics Certification through the ISCET certification offerings.
Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repair Salary and Wages
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median hourly wage for computer, automated teller and office machine repairers was $18.18 in May 2008, with the highest ten percent earning $28.41 per hour. Computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers who worked in the computer design services industry earned more at a rate of $19.87 per hour while the same group of repairers earned a rate of $15.67 at electronics stores. Those who worked in the office supplies industry earned a median hourly rate of $17.40 per hour, which is only less than a dollar than repairers who earned $17.03 per hour in the equipment repair industry.*

According to the great leader's physician, Fidel Castro can live to "at least" the age of 140 years old. His proof? Castro still has the strength to go on protest marches. God help us if participation in moonbat gatherings is all it takes to guarantee more than a century of life on this planet; if you think old people are crazy these days, just wait until they're all sporting "Not in my name" badges and spouting communist rhetoric.
Speaking of which, how long do we reckon it will it be before Fidel's fans start trotting out this doctor's expert opinion as further evidence — along with the country's literacy rates and supposedly world-class, "free" healthcare — that Cuba is a great nation from which we could all learn so very much?

Generation Research Dossier #1
The GenR dossier is designed as a conclusion of the initial cluster of articles for the Generation Research theme 'Post-Digital Community Science' which ran over May/June 2019 and is accompanied by a collaboratively built 'Community Science Index' of projects and tools.
The conventional role and partner in a research project would be — a PI, a Co-Investigator, co-authors, a community, partner institution, an SME, or data provider — and their roles are not always fixed and quite often can overlap. Similarly this is the case with how a Community Science project design can shape the roles and types of participation by the public. And as with any module or work package you design for a research programme the goals and activities need to be carefully planned. For this dossier we have commented on six projects using Community Science that have lessons that can be widely applied. Additionally there is a collaboratively built 'Community Science Index' with further projects, collaborative tools, and spaces and event formats, etc.Read More

Experts say Thousands of Portland Homes Could Have High Levels of Lead!
One of every 10 households in Portland possess lead levels in their water that go over the basic safety standards; This is based on a water quality record just made public by the Portland Water Bureau.
Experts mention that although lead in your water is definitely an issue, the more substantial concern is lead in the dust that is in your home.

For the very last 5 years, Tamara Rubin has been working on a documentary known as "MisLEAD, America's Secret Epidemic."
"I traveled the country and interviewed lead-poisoned families all over the country," she explained.
Rubin, who also happens to be the executive director of the Lead Safe America Foundation, began advocating for a lead safe society, a decade ago when her 2 sons were struck with lead poisoning and unfortunately experienced irreversible brain damage.
"My kids were poisoned in 2005 by the work of the painting contractor that didn't use lead safe painting practices," she said.
So at present, Rubin will do everything she will be able to keep lead out of her family's life.
Being aware that the water lines in her Southeast Portland home have lead, she set up a lead filtration system. Knowing that her childrens' educational facilities might also possess lead in the water, she sends her kids with water bottles from home.
You might want to know the steps to reduce lead in tap water.
And while she continues to be combating to get lead out of schools for many years, Rubin is aware of the main source of lead poisoning is produced by paint in your home.
In the event that your house was constructed before 1978, it may have lead paint.
Based on a Multnomah County study, above two-thirds of the households in North, Northeast as well as Southeast Portland have lead dust amounts that go over federal standards.
Rubin is quick to mention that just a modest amount can cause significant problems.
"The impact is lifelong learning disabilities and behavioral disorders," she said.
It is possible to buy do-it-yourself lead test kits at the local hardware store.

I started making some
.gifs to embed in documentation and my notes as I
develop Rusty Nail. I always have to lookup how to
convert the images to
gifs. Every time I am also concerned with how big the
.gifs are so after doing some looking around I made a little script which
convert, and
gifsicle (with
giflossy) to take an input
webm, or any video that ffmpeg can decode.
The process is this:
ffmpeg splits the video into a directory of
convert those images and stitches them together into one
gifsicle optimizes the
gif and allow a stage to resize it and also change
the color. The
giflossy plug-in also can apply lossy compression to the
gif video during the optimization step.
Read on for the script.
To use my
make_gif.sh script you will need the following applications:
These should be installable from Ubuntu 16.04 or Fedora 25.
$ make_gif.sh -o my_new_image.gif input_file.mp4
You can get help information with:
$ make_gif.sh -h
This was my first time using the POSIX
getopts which made it pretty easy to
add new options to the script. I far prefer the style of
clap-rs (for Rust), or
click for Python.
gifs are a pretty useful format for adding video content to
documentation. I realize that the
.webm format might be a better alternative,
in the long run. With less effort, you can get higher compression rates and
smaller file sizes, all with better quality and the option for integrating

Every once in a while, I do something in the kitchen (or read about it elsewhere and try it for myself) and hope I will remember it at some future point… it's usually some sort of "shortcut" or a piece of knowledge useful for the creation, maintenance, improvement, etc. of something food or entertaining related. So I have decided to do these "quick tip" posts to record these thoughts for my future use, but to give folks with really short attention spans something to read and take away in 15 seconds or so…
Uneven graham cracker or other crusts on the bottom of a cheesecake drive me and perhaps other OC-tending people a bit nuts. I like a nice, even crust, and almost never get it when I press the crust down with my fingers. So the other week I used a small meat pounder or flattener and used it to even out the crust… it worked great. :)
that's a good idea, I always obsessed with attaining an even crust but when I use my fingers i end up with less crust in the middle.
Jan 10, 2012 | 6:52 pm
It looks like the handle of a samurai sword! :P
Jan 10, 2012 | 7:00 pm
It does look like a sword handle. I just use the bottom of a glass.

Lupo is alternantera sessilis and you can read more about this at http://www.stuartxchange.com/BungaBunga.html
Jan 10, 2012 | 9:12 pm
like it….
Jan 10, 2012 | 10:10 pm
looks good and the added weight of the meat pounder makes it much easier. I unfortunately don't have that but I use the bottom of my measuring cup, it takes time but eventually my bottom crust is all even and perfect!
Jan 10, 2012 | 10:32 pm
Consider submitting them to Cook's Illustrated, the only food publication I buy now since they yanked away Gourmet"s life support. They publish tips like this in exchange for a year's free subscription.
Jan 10, 2012 | 10:45 pm
Good tip. But I always knew you suffered from OCD.
Jan 10, 2012 | 10:50 pm
Footloose, I love Cook's Illustrated too but content myself buying back issues from my favorite bookstore–Booksale!
Good tip MM.
Jan 11, 2012 | 12:50 am
Footloose, I have Cook's Illustrated too. I love their tips and their equipment and gadget recommendations and ratings. I am getting addicted to this site. Must have perused most of the old postings to get recipes and ideas. MM you are such a great resource of home cooking recipes and food ingredients. What makes you apart from others is your openess in sharing your knowledge and accepting other people's suggestions as well. Thank you for your generosity.
Jan 11, 2012 | 1:14 am
Excellent tip..I've been calling my crust "rustic" as an excuse for not getting an even look.
Jan 11, 2012 | 8:00 am
oo nga no? am having a "why didn't i think of that before?" moment. thanks for the tip, MM. my crusts are always uneven. and it's hard to compact them with the back of a spoon.
Jan 11, 2012 | 9:01 am
now that's a great idea!
Jan 11, 2012 | 9:56 am
Patricia – you nailed my thoughts exactly.
I had a serious hankering for a cheesecake for a couple of weeks some time ago. Probably caused by my not getting a cake for my birthday then.
Jan 11, 2012 | 12:58 pm
thanks, for this tip, MM. @#10..exactly my sentiments of MM's generosity.
Jan 11, 2012 | 2:03 pm
great, MM! thanks … hope to remember this …
Jan 11, 2012 | 9:51 pm
since i do not have a meat pounder, i use the bottom of my measuring cup instead, got this tip from king arthur flour "baking banter" blog.
Jan 12, 2012 | 9:17 am
Ah another category to look forward to. Thanks for being so generous, MM!
Jan 12, 2012 | 2:46 pm
great idea…hmmm…which reminds me…i havent made pies for some time…..should make some….
Jan 14, 2012 | 4:54 am
Hello, MM! I KNOW, it's been a long, long time since you've seen me here. I have no excuse, save to say that life got in the way and blog-reading fell by the wayside. I've pretty much caught up on the other blogs, but I kept getting intimidated by yours, because you post so prolifically that I was daunted by the multitude of posts I'd have to catch up on! Imagine, I didn't even know until recently that you had started selling your lechon commercially and Zubuchon now has several branches; that I've missed EBs and the chance to meet more of your readers; and that the Teen is all grown up and out of the house! I had intended to go through the last couple of years' posts before reappearing here, but realized that that was the reason I kept postponing it. And I missed you, your blog and your other readers too much already. So, I've decided that I'll just ease into it and read only what I'm able to, for now, until I feel can once again call myself a loyal and regular MM fan. ;-)
Anyway, as a way to get back into the MM fold, as it were, and since this post is about quick tips, I'd like to mention a little tip I just recently learned. I'm sure you already know about this, since it's from Saveur, but maybe some of your readers haven't yet. Apologies if this has been posted here before. It's just a handy way to peel garlic quickly. I LOVE this method because peeling garlic (especially in the quantities I use) can be a chore. I just amended the method a bit because I'm not strong enough to smash the whole bulb with my hand and I don't have stainless steel bowls. Instead, I smash the bulb with a heavy object and use a metal stockpot with the lid on. Here's the video demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d3oc24fD-c
I'm excited to once again be a Marketmanila reader! :-)
Jan 14, 2012 | 10:02 pm
I usually use another pan that is one size smaller to pack the crust down since I'm lazy, but I always regret it after because I have to wash one extra big thing. Hehehe. I will definitely try this next time instead!

Training Video: YOU'VE GOT CUSTOMERS ! Great for restaurant waitstaff training! (Bar too)
-Be honest - customers just want to hear the truth. -Listen before you sell - find out what customers want first.
-Follow through on customer requests - double check -Take initiative to solve problems - offer solutions, not excuses.
-Know your product - if you don't know, find out. -Take advantage of sales opportunities - your customer will benefit.
There has been an over-emphasis on the superficial--the greeter at the door, the forced smile, and the gratuitous "have a nice day."

Ceramic Artist & Art Therapist
When I needed help, the art came to my rescue
Living a creative life..a healing journey.
My journey with clay began when I was a young girl and had the opportunity to attend a Summer School where I experienced pottery and life drawing for the first time. Magic happened for me while sitting on the pottery wheel transforming a small lump of clay into a bowl. That was the beginning of my Creating with Clay journey.
The clay has shaped my experience ever since and has been instrumental in sculpting my life as a potter and teacher.
My connection to the natural environment inspires the work I create today. Living in the shadow of Mt Donna Buang and watching the changing colours of the mountains and sky keep me tuned in to the rhythm of the seasons. Within the valleys rich tapestry the Yarra river twists and turns and threads it's way through my creative sensibilities.

An Interview with Travel Writing Student F.Larosse
LA: Before we get started why don't you tell us a little about yourself. What attracted you to travel writing?
F. LAROSSE: I live in a little suburb of Philadelphia, PA called Stowe. For the past fifteen years, I worked as an advertising consultant for our local newspaper. Two months ago, I made the big decision to walk away from that profession. I wanted to spend time with my new grandson and to pursue the many interests I haven't seemed to be able to find time for in the past.
Shortly before that, I came across The Ultimate Travel Writer's Course. Since writing and travel are two of my biggest passions; I decided there's no time like the present!
LA: You recently wrote us and said that you've had some success getting published with your article "Bikes on Trains". Can you tell us how that story came to life?
F. LAROSSE: There is a local magazine that caters to the Motorcycle Market. Generally the stories are about different types of bikes, events etc. I sent an email to the editor proposing a travel story with a unique twist of likely interest to his readers. He immediately emailed me back saying he loved the idea and wanted to discuss the angle before I left for the journey.
The story is based on a trip that my husband, his parents, and I will take on motorcycles this Fall. We'll travel down the eastern seaboard to Washington DC to catch the "Autotrain" and then head on to Florida.
As a longtime reader of the magazine, I felt I understood the "flavor" of its stories. I simply presented my pitch in a humorous way targeting the specific audience. Then I took the bull by the horns and just emailed the editor!
LA: In your note to me, you credited your success to Great Escape Publishing's written travel-writer program. What specifically do you think helped you to get started?
F. LAROSSE: The assignment that walks you through the writing and submission of a "pretend destination" article was great. After doing this, I figured — why not go through with the actual process and see how it goes for real! I would not have found the courage to just email the editor without the sufficient information so clearly and specifically laid out for me.
LA: Why would you recommend the course to others?
F. LAROSSE: The course is very informative and walks you through every step of the way. If writing has ever been a dream of yours, this program will provide you with every little tid-bit of information you could possibly need to fulfill that dream. The resources you will find on the website are priceless.
LA: What advice would you give to new students who haven't yet had an article published?
F. LAROSSE: You can be your own best friend or your own worst enemy. By that I mean, you can just sit yourself down and get to business or you can wander through your day and give yourself a million excuses why you can't find time to write.
I usually write at my desk in my living room. Almost always at the same time of day as well- between 6 and 8 AM. I find the silence and peacefulness from that time of day leaves my mind well-rested.and that way I can make sure it gets done before anything else gets in the way!
Make your writing a priority. No excuses. Keep plugging away. Remember that writing is important. But, without following through — searching for and contacting those editors who need articles, your stories might as well stay in your head!
Be courageous, take chances and above all…BE PERSISTENT. If one magazine says no, don't take it personally. Use that information and find the magazine that CAN use it!

Accrued Income
(Part 2)
Previous lesson: Accrued Income (Part 1)
Next lesson: Define Expenses
Alright, in our previous example the Smiths owed us $5,000 for catering provided for a funeral, and were going to pay this at the end of April.
g) The Smiths pay the full amount owed to George's Catering on the 30th of April. Now what do we do?
Well, the easiest part of this transaction is that we receive cash (of $5,000). So bank goes up. But what happens with our debtor? Our debtor (asset) exists currently in our records at $5,000. If the Smiths are now paying us, does this mean that they owe us less, or more, or that there is no change?
Answer: They owe us less. In fact, they don't owe us anything now.
So we increase our cash by $5,000, and we decrease our debtors by the same figure to zero.
George's Catering still consists of assets of $35,000, but this is now made up of baking equipment to the value of $12,000, and $23,000 cash.
The debtor amounts to zero dollars – this makes sense as we are showing that the debt towards George's Catering no longer exists.
As you can clearly see here, income is not the same as cash. Income isthe event itself. The cash is a separate element of accounting. Income is the event that takes place that results (either immediately or later on) in more assets for your business.
The income did (eventually) result in more cash for the business – as it should.
IMPORTANT: Do not move forward if you're even a little confused. Instead, take a step back to the previous lesson or back to the simpler example of cash income in the lesson entitled Define Income.
Go over these lessons again. If you're still having trouble, return to earlier sections you didn't feel very cool about, even things early on in the section on Basic Accounting Concepts. See if you can spot anything you didn't quite get the first time. Then return to this lesson and review it once again.
When you're comfortable with the concepts we just went over, move forward.

Synetrim Pro 300. This proprietary blend is a triple action weight management nutraceutical.

Caffeine. The caffeine in Allura Trim comes from green coffee beans. This form of caffeine is added to naturally suppress appetite and boost metabolism. Beware of weight loss pills that are all caffeine. These types of weight loss pills can have side effects such as insomnia, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms. Read labels.

Перевод песни Amos Milburn – Let's Have A Party
Работает на технологии Яндекс.Переводчика
One day I met Minnie Mouse She said baby, let's play house I said honey, I do more but What if Mickey comes knocking on the door She said honey, let's hit the sack 'Cause Mickey Mouse, he won't be back She said baby I love your tail And that so far is the end of the tale The true story about Cinderella Was that she broke up with another fellow The same day we met at the dance She didn't wait, she took her chance Owee owee oah! What's wrong with you Don't you like our menageatwo Her ex asked as he took her hand She said she always loved the singer in a rock n'roll band Well keep on loving me honey Like you did before And if that Prince comes crawling Just show him the door (CHORUS) Let's have a party (x2) You and me hand in hand Wandering through sexy wonderland Let's have a party right now! I said beep beep I said beep beep beep Did you hear the gossip about Snow White It turned out to be she's a transvestite And do you know the story 'bout Betty Boop Well the people say she loves to do it in a group (CHORUS) Eenee, meemee, mince ma Minnie Mouse in sterio Once upon a time Cinderella drank a little wine Can't you see The dirty little girl has a crush on me Let's have a party!
