text: Latest Analysis News CONFIRMED: Joint Syrian-Hezbollah assault on terrorists begins on Lebanese border Once the Syrian-Lebanese border is secure, it will leave only the borders with Turkey and Israel to seal up from further incursions. Published 2 years ago on July 21, 2017 By Adam 1,198 Views Share Tweet The elite Republican Guard of the Syrian Arab Army along with Hezbollah and the volunteer militia National Defence Force have begun heavy operations along the Syria-Lebanon border against entrenched Salafist militants including al-Qaeda forces (known locally by the name Jabhat Fatah al-Sham formerly al-Nusra and Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham) The operation is intended to rid the mountainous western Qalamoun region of terrorists who have taken advantage of the foreboding terrain. Al-Masdar reports, "Backed by heavy airstrikes from their air force, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies stormed the large hilltop of Tal Burkan near the Faleeta Barrens; this resulted in a fierce battle with the Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham militants positioned there. Unable to hold their own at Tal Burkan, the militants from Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham (an al-Qaeda offshoot) were forced to concede the hilltop to the Syrian Republican Guard and their allies. Not long after taking control of Tal Burkan, the Syrian Arab Army and Hezbollah forces began their assault on the nearby hilltops, inflicting heavy damage on the jihadist defences. The operation that was launched tonight is the third and final phase of the western Qalamoun offensive; its success will guarantee the security of the Syrian-Lebanese border". The multi-front assault on mountainous Lebanese border regions is significant in several ways. 1. Securing the border In recent months, the Syrian Arab Army has taken control of border crossings with Jordan as well as reached the border with Iraq in Syria's south-east near Iraq's Al-Anbar Governorate. Reports surfaced that Syrian troops and Iraqi troops greeted each other in a fraternal demonstration of friendship. With the Battle of Mosul declared won by Iraq, the next logical border to secure is that with Lebanon. Al-Qaeda has been able to exploit the foreboding and therefore difficult to police border through much of the duration of the conflict in western Syria. Once the border is secure, the next issue will be dealing with the borders of Syria's most militarily strong neighbours, Turkey and Israel. Right now American bases and Kurdish fighters dominate Syria's long northern border with Turkey while Israel has announced that it is set to aid jihadists in its hospitals along its border with Syria which includes the illegally occupied Syrian Golan Heights which Israel annexed in 1981 after taking the area in 1967. 2. Syria shows confidence The sheer scale of Syria's anti-terrorist operations in Lebanon demonstrate that enough of Syria is secure that the Syrian Arab Army and Airforce now have the confidence to dedicate a significant number of men and aircraft to the fight. Previously, terrorists took shelter in Lebanon knowing that the Syrian Arab Army was preoccupied in other more populated parts of the country. This is a clear indication that the war in western Syria is in its final phases. 3. Hezbollah is now Lebanon's most important fighting force While Lebanese forces are commencing operations against al-Qaeda in other parts the country, Hezbollah are doing the lion's share of the heavy fighting. In spite of its volunteer origins, Hezbollah's fighters are now among the most professional not only in Lebanon but in the wider region. Many Lebanese have come to recognise Hezbollah's increasingly integral role in securing Lebanon from further terrorist incursions. The fighting shows no signs of abating as Syria, Hezbollah and their allies continue to make significant gains. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 4 hours ago on March 22, 2019 By Tom Luongo Authored by Tom Luongo via The Strategic Culture Foundation: With all that is happening in the world Crimea has taken a bit of a backseat recently. Yes, the US, EU and Canada just added more sanctions on Russia via the odious Magnitsky legislation but this is inconsequential. There's been a flurry of good news coming out of Crimea and the Black Sea recently that bears discussion. Let's start with the most important. President Vladimir Putin was in Crimea earlier this week to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the peninsula's reunification with Russia. There he also officially inaugurated two major upgrades to Crimea's power grid. Located in Simferopol and Sevastopol, two new power plants will produce 940 megawatts and secure Crimea's energy needs for now and into the future. Power has been Crimea's Achilles' heel since breaking off from Ukraine in 2014. It received almost 90% of its power from the mainland. In November 2015, the trunk lines into Crimea were sabotaged by Ukrainian nationalist radicals, encouraged by President Petro Poroshenko plunging it into darkness as winter took hold. Does this sound familiar? A place that defies US edicts geopolitically is first hit with a full trade embargo, sanctions and threatened militarily by proxies before having its electricity shut off? *Cough* Venezuela *Cough* And there are reports that the US has game-planned a similar fate for Iran as well. For Crimea it was easy because of the single-point-of-failure, the trunks from the mainland. For Venezuela it was as well, with the Guri dam, which affected nearly 70 percent of the country. So, Putin timing the fifth anniversary of reunification with the announcement of the plants moving to full operational status was yet another smooth bit of international political maneuvering. A not-so-subtle poke in the eye of the Gang Who Can't Sanction Straight in D.C. as well as lame duck Poroshenko. Elections are at the end of the month and this celebration by Russia and Crimea will not sit well with many Ukrainians, especially the diaspora here in the US which is virulently anti-Putin in my experience. Secure and stable power generation is a hallmark of a first world territory. Without that economic growth and stability are impossible. This is why to first help stabilize the situation in Crimea after the blackout Russia brought in 400 MW of power across the Kerch Strait from Krasnodor. Tying Crimea to the mainland via the Kerch Strait bridge was a masterstroke by Putin. The initial power lines were simply a necessity. For those that complain he isn't doing enough to counter US and European aggression need only look at the Kerch Strait bridge. Not only did the Russians not seek international approval given the nearly universal refusal to recognize Crimea as Russian they built the thing in a time frame that defies description. Imagine if this had been an EU project. They would still be debating the initial engineering plans and the political effects on some protected minority. Not only does it open up the Eastern Black Sea to trade via Crimea but it ends the use of the Sea of Azov as a potential staging ground for naval provocations as last fall's incident proved. Ukraine is cut off from acting aggressively and cannot count on any help from the US and Europe. Moreover, Crimea is now permanently Russia's. And every bit of infrastructure Russia builds there ties the two further together and weakens any bonds Crimea had with Ukraine. The resultant growth and modernization will make its way, economically and culturally back into southern Ukraine and erode the hard border over time. This is far more important than striking out and metaphorically punching Poroshenko in the mouth, that many of Putin's detractors wish for. Presidents change, after all. Patience and attrition is how you beat an aggressive, distant enemy like the US To remind everyone just how insane the Trump White House has become on matters international, no less than Vice President Mike Pence lobbied Germany to provoke another naval incident at the Kerch Strait. If there was ever an example of how little Trump's gang of moldy neocons think of Europe it is this bit of news. In effect, Pence was saying, "We can't start a war with Russia because it would go nuclear, but you can because Russia can't live without your trade." This coming after the US unilaterally pulled out of the INF treaty and is now flying nuclear bombers to eastern Europe. The message is clear. If the EU doesn't get with this open-ended belligerent program against Russia and China of John Bolton's they will be the ones paying the price when chaos breaks out. On the other side there is Putin; building bridges, pipelines, power plants and roads. He's making it clear what the future holds not only for Europe but the Middle East, central Asia and India. We will defend Crimea at all costs, develop it not only into a tourist destination but also a major trade hub as well. You are more than welcome to join us. But, we don't need you. These power plants will raise Crimea's power output well beyond its current needs, allowing first export of power as well as providing the foundation for future growth. And as if it weren't coordinated in any way, the Chinese, on the morning of Putin's speech, announced that Crimea would be an excellent fit for investment projects attached to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). That's according to the head of the association of Chinese compatriots on the peninsula, Ge Zhili. "Our organization is bolstering cooperation ties, exchanges and friendly contacts with the Crimean society," he said at an event dedicated to the fifth anniversary of Crimea's reunification with Russia, which was held in the Russian Embassy in Beijing on Monday. It is also ready to contribute to the establishment of "reliable partner ties" and the explanation of legal details of business cooperation with Crimea, Ge Zhili said. "The Chinese society hopes for the development of friendly cooperation with Crimea; we are ready to overcome difficulties for fruitful results." Again this is a direct challenge to the US who has Crimea under strict sanctions in the West. China is happy now to move forward with integrating Crimea into its plans. It's just another example of how Russia and China simply ignore Trump's fulminations and move on. I can't wait until I get to write this article all over again, this time about North Korea, now that Bolton has thrown Russian and Chinese assistance in getting North Korea to the negotiating table back in their face by destroying the Hanoi talks. This announcement is not to be underestimated given that Chinese Premier Xi Jinping is in Rome this week to open up relations with the new Italian government. Five Star Movement's Leader Luigi Di Maio said he would welcome becoming a part of BRI, much to the consternation of Trump, German Chancellor Angela Merkel as well as his coalition partner Lega Leader Matteo Salvini. It's already well known that Salvini is interested in ending sanctions on Crimea and re-opening trade with Russia. Italy is desperate for new markets and opportunities, currently stifled under the euro itself as well as Germany's insistence on austerity hollowing out Italy's economy and its future prospects. These issues as well as energy security ones are coming to a head this year with Brexit, the European Parliamentary elections in May and the completion of the Nordstream 2 pipeline later this year. As Putin continues to polish his Black Sea jewel, Europe has to decide if it is going to continue playing the U.S's games over Ukraine or begin the next phase of its independence. Salvini will lead a Euroskeptic revolt within the European Parliament in May. It may be big enough to finally defy Merkel and end EU sanctions on Russia over Crimea. At that point the US will also have a choice, burn down the world economy with even more sanctions, tariffs and acts of war or accept the facts on the ground. Liked it?

If we assume a third meaningful vote goes ahead next week that included the provision for a second referendum, and that it passes with a majority, the motivation for extending Article 50 would then be clear. Published 4 hours ago on March 22, 2019 By The Duran Authored by Steven Guinness: The news that Theresa May has officially requested an extension to Article 50 until the end of June has been in the making since the European Court of Justice announced in December 2018 that the UK has the right to unilaterally revoke the article at any point prior to the UK leaving the EU. In an article published at the time, I argued that the ECJ's decision was designed to begin the process of the government legislating for a second referendum. To quickly summarise what has happened since, in the past three months the Brexit withdrawal agreement was rejected twice by the House of Commons, Theresa May survived a series of no confidence votes, parliament stated its opposition to both a no deal scenario and holding a second referendum before supporting an extension to Article 50, and finally speaker John Bercow announced that the government would only be allowed to put the Brexit withdrawal agreement to parliament again if it contained a 'new' proposition. Regular readers will know that since last year my position on Brexit has been consistent, in that I believe a no deal exit from the EU is the most likely outcome and that a 'People's Vote' could be used to facilitate this eventuality. One explanation for why the Prime Minister has requested only a three month extension to Article 50 is that it would avoid the UK having to take part in upcoming EU parliamentary elections. Whilst this is possible, I do not think it is the primary reason. Last week, Independent MP Sarah Wollaston tabled an amendment that called for Article 50 to be extended and for a second referendum on Brexit to be held. The amendment was comprehensively defeated, with the majority of the opposition Labour party abstaining from the vote. Elements of the party and The People's Vote campaign went on record as saying that the timing of the amendment was too soon, and so as a result they did not rally behind it. As with other supposed set backs to another vote, critics rounded on the news believing that the result killed off any prospect of another referendum from materialising. As I have stressed before, this interpretation is I believe premature. On the same day as Wollaston's defeated amendment, parliament voted by a majority to take no deal 'off the table'. But this was only in relation to the exit date of March 29th. It did not account for an extension of Article 50 and with that a new exit date. It also needs to be stressed that the motions against a no deal and a second public vote were non-binding on the government. What neither did is definitively rule out the possibilities. A month ago I wrote how on March 23rd a 'Put it to the people' march is taking place in London that will call for a referendum on the government's Brexit withdrawal agreement. With just a couple of days to go, the line from the European Union is that a request to extended Article 50 would only be granted by its 27 member states for a specific purpose. To extend in order to just give more time for negotiations on an non-negotiable deal would not be acceptable. Tied in with this was House of Commons speaker John Bercow's announcement that he would dismiss a motion for a third meaningful vote on the withdrawal agreement unless it was markedly different from what has already been rejected. Asked by MP Geraint Davies if a meaningful vote would be 'intrinsically different' if it included the provision for the final say going to a public vote, Bercow responded by saying that he would look at the specifics but would ultimately abide by the principle that the proposition should be 'different' and 'not the same or substantially the same'. In other words, Bercow has left open the possibility. It is highly unlikely that either he or the European Union would reject a proposal that would legislate for an act of 'democracy'. With the last 'People's Vote' march this Saturday, it appears to now be designed to move sentiment in favour of a second referendum prior to the original exit day of March 29th. Potential evidence for this comes from EU Commission President Jean Claude Junker, who has strongly intimated that a decision on whether to grant an extension to Article 50 will not be taken until next week,which means after the referendum march. Assuming an extension is approved, the EU may then go on to state that it is a one time deal to accommodate a public vote and that it cannot be extended for a second time. As for Theresa May's proposal of extending Article 50 until June 30th, EU Council President Donald Tusk has said a short extension is possible but would be 'conditional on a positive vote on the withdrawal agreement in the House of Commons'. Many parliamentarians who twice rejected the withdrawal agreement have indicated that they would support it a third time round if it included the proposition for the public to have the final say. This seems to be the direction of travel and the only way in which the deal would be accepted by the speaker as a new proposition. Of more interest to me, though, is the motivation behind an extension to Article 50 that would only last until June 30th. It was a few of weeks prior to Donald Trump securing the U.S. presidency that I first mentioned how when the 2016 EU referendum took place, it occurred at the same time central bank chiefs were gathering in Basel for the Bank for International Settlements annual conference. This is a conference that always takes place in the latter part of June. At the start of January I raised the suggestion that a June referendum could become a reality. My suspicion is that if a second vote goes ahead, it would take the form of a streamlined campaign, one that would offer the public the options of supporting Theresa May's deal (assuming it still stands), remaining in the EU or leaving on World Trade Organisation terms. This would mean a second referendum taking place in around twelve weeks time. Should this be the case, then the vote would likely coincide with the movements of the BIS once more. And if my prediction of a no deal exit from the EU is proven correct, the economic fallout from this scenario would require close coordination between central banks, given that currency and equity markets would be heavily impacted. What Brexit and Trump's victory showed is that in the background key globalist institutions were convening. Perhaps it is not a coincidence that moves to extend Article 50 are coinciding with the EU Council Summit on March 21st and 22nd – the same two days where a meeting in Cambridge is scheduled between the BIS, the Bank of England, Cambridge University and the University of Basel. The topic? 'New Economics of Exchange Rate Adjustment'. The Bank of England and the Federal Reserve also meet this week to decide on interest rates. If we assume a third meaningful vote goes ahead next week that included the provision for a second referendum, and that it passes with a majority, the motivation for extending Article 50 would then be clear. Something else to consider is that under this scenario, those in parliament who want to remain in the EU would have to vote in support of leaving the union just so they can secure a referendum for which they would campaign to remain in the bloc. The sense of betrayal already felt by swathes of the electorate would only be heightened if they witnessed MP's using the deal as nothing more than an opportunity to cancel Brexit altogether. The next round of theatrics would be over the question on the ballot paper. Recall that in previous weeks the likes of Lord Kerr (author of Article 50 and a member of the Executive Committee of the Trilateral Commission), Chuka Umunna, founder of Best for Britain Gina Miller and ex Prime Minister Tony Blair have all raised the prospect of the ballot containing three options – one of which would be for a 'hard' Brexit. The popular consensus is that another referendum would offer just two options, to either leave with the negotiated deal or remain in the EU. This would eliminate from the campaign the possibility of a no deal Brexit, something which I have reasoned is beneficial to globalists as they would use it to scapegoat the vehicles of resurgent nationalism / protectionism as being responsible for a major impending economic downturn, but also as an opportunity to further centralise power. For this reason, I expect a no deal option would be presented to the British public. As in 2016, opinion polls all point to the electorate wanting to remain in the EU. They were wrong then and I believe would be wrong again. A new leave or 'hard' Brexit campaign would play upon the desires of many to 'take back control' of the United Kingdom from the 'elites' and to talk up the prospects of the country, whereas a remain campaign runs the risk of being condescending to the public by pushing the narrative that they were conned the first time round, or worse were ignorant in their societal outlook. In the middle would sit Theresa May's withdrawal agreement. If indeed it was carried forward to a referendum, it is feasible that it would become a theatrical tug of war between hard 'Brexiteers' and remainers to convert those minded to support the deal over to their side. Growing public sentiment is that the establishment have been doing everything it can to overturn the first referendum result. Faith in politicians has never been lower than it is today. In such a febrile atmosphere, if you give voters the option of voicing their discontent through the ballot box, the chances are that they will deliver in kind. Liked it?

Continue Reading Latest Trump Demands Tribute from NATO Vassals The one thing that we should all understand, and which Trump perfectly and clearly understands, is that the members of NATO are a captive audience. Published 4 hours ago on March 22, 2019 By Strategic Culture Foundation Authored by Tim Kirby via The Strategic Culture Foundation: Regardless of whether one loves or hates President Trump at least we can say that his presidency has a unique flavor and is full of surprises. Bush and Obama were horribly dull by comparison. Trump as a non-politician from the world of big (real estate) business and media has a different take on many issues including NATO. Many, especially in Russia were hoping that "The Donald's" campaign criticism of NATO would move towards finally putting an end to this anti-Russian alliance, which, after the fall of Communism really has no purpose, as any real traditional military threats to Europe have faded into history. However, Trump as President of the United States has to engage in the "realpolitik" of 21st century America and try to survive and since Trump seems rather willing to lie to get what he wants, who can really say which promises from his campaign were a shoot and which were a work. So as it stands now Trump's recent decision to maintain and build US/NATO bases across the world "and make country X pay for it" could mean anything from him trying to keep his campaign promises in some sort of skewed way, to an utter abandonment of them and submission to the swamp. Perhaps it could simply be his business instincts taking over in the face of "wasteful spending". Making allies have to pay to have US/NATO forces on their territory is a massive policy shift that one could only predict coming from the unpredictable 45th President. The one thing that we should all understand, and which Trump perfectly and clearly understands, is that the members of NATO (and other "allies") are a captive audience, especially Germany, Japan and South Korea, which "coincidentally" are the first set of countries that will have to pay the "cost + 50%" to keep bases and US soldiers on their soil. Japan's constitution, written primarily by American occupation forces forbids them from having a real military which is convenient for Trump's plan. South Korea, although a very advanced and wealthy nation has no choice but to hide behind the US might because if it were to disappear overnight, then Gangnam would be filled with pictures of the Kim family within a few weeks. In the past with regard to these three countries NATO has had to keep up the illusion of wanting to "help" them and work as "partners" for common defense as if nuclear and economic titan America needs countries like them to protect itself. Trump whether consciously or not is changing the dynamic of US/NATO occupation of these territories to be much more honest. His attitude seems to be that the US has the possibility to earn a lot of money from a worldwide mafia-style protection scam. Vassals have no choice but to pay the lord so Trump wants to drop the illusions and make the military industrial complex profitable again and God bless him for it. This level of honesty in politics is refreshing and it reflects the Orange Man's pro-business and "America will never be a socialist country" attitude. It is blunt and ideologically consistent with his worldview. On the other hand, one could look at this development as a possible move not to turn NATO into a profitable protection scam but as a means to covertly destroy it. Lies and illusion in politics are very important, people who believe they are free will not rebel even if they have no freedom whatsoever. If people are sure their local leaders are responsible for their nation they will blame them for its failings rather than any foreign influence that may actually be pulling the real strings. Even if everyone in Germany, Japan and South Korea in their subconscious knows they are basically occupied by US forces it is much harder to take action, than if the "lord" directly demands yearly tribute. The fact that up to this point US maintains its bases on its own dime sure adds to the illusion of help and friendship. This illusion is strong enough for local politicians to just let the status quo slide on further and further into the future. Nothing is burning at their feet to make them act… having to pay cost + 50% could light that fire. Forcing the locals to pay for these bases changes the dynamic in the subconscious and may force people's brains to contemplate why after multiple-generations the former Axis nations still have to be occupied. Once occupation becomes expensive and uncomfortable, this drops the illusion of friendship and cooperation making said occupation much harder to maintain. South Korea knows it needs the US to keep out the North but when being forced to pay for it this may push them towards developing the ability to actually defend themselves. Trump's intellectual "honesty" in regards to NATO could very well plant the necessary intellectual seeds to not just change public opinion but make public action against US/NATO bases in foreign countries. Japan has had many protests over the years against US bases surging into the tens of thousands. This new open vassal status for the proud Japanese could be the straw to break the camel's back. Predicting the future is impossible. But it is clear that, changing the fundamental dynamic by which the US maintains foreign bases in a way that will make locals financially motivated to have them removed, shall significantly affect the operations of US forces outside the borders of the 50 States and make maintaining a global presence even more difficult, but perhaps this is exactly what the Orange Man wants or is just too blind to see.

Windows XP or Windows 7, 4 core processor, 2 GB memory, high bandwidth, 300 MB hard drive space, PCI-E 128 video card, Microsoft net connection software. Capable of trading all futures products at 10 different exchanges around the world.
Keyboard Trader has four pricing levels for the software, ranging from $350 to $850 per month depending on your needs. Seven different keyboards are available ranging from $275 to $415, with additional custom-made keys available.
Installation and support: 3.5 out of 4
A collection of five tutorial videos is available on the website as well as detailed help files. As good as they are, I found that the complexities of the software/strategy required one-on-one consulting. They offer two to seven consulting hours free with the initial purchase, and additional one-on-one hours can be acquired for a reasonable price. I found that to utilize the system to its maximum potential, further hours were needed. As in any new system, the more I used it, the more questions I had and Bionic Trader's staffing was knowledgeable and accommodating. Demos can be done in the Chicago office or, as in my case, remotely.
Overview of product: 4 out of 4
The basic premise of Bionic Trader systems is to more fully integrate the physicality of the user with functionality of the order entry system to maximize trading efficiency. Keyboard Trader is basically a software product driven by a keyboard. It enables users to execute multiple trades simultaneously to position themselves instantaneously and optimize prearranged strategies.
The product's strengths lie in its unique blend of the personalized configuration of keys and the programmability of those keys. You can set up to 15 tradable workstations and activate one at a time or all at once. Each key is programmable to execute sequential sets of functions with one trigger. In other words, you can program multiple target keys to each have a position you want to be in at that time, given those market circumstances. It does not matter where you are position-wise, it gets you where you want to be with the push of a key. Example, one push of the "zero" key will trade you to a flat position in all markets while simultaneously canceling all open orders, while one push of the "target" key will get you to prearranged long and short positions simultaneously across any number of markets.
The natural evolution of this product is perfect to optimize your spread trading. You have the ability to work the inside of the markets, join the bid and offer, as well as taking the order to the market within a specific range.
The keyboard is customized by you to increase speed of execution. You are sent your choice of seven keyboards. You then can arrange the keys to fit your own hand. The original keys are pre-programmed and set, but you have the capability of reprogramming or adjusting each individual key to execute specific functions. Example: Program one key to add a prearranged number of contracts to the bid or the offer, and once set you can adjust increments pretty much at will, giving you great flexibility. You can make your target key four times as large as your order adjustment keys, making it easier to hit that key and place it at the quickest spot for your fingers to reach.
Keyboard skills are not extremely essential. With a little practice and proper placement of your keys you can increase your execution times vastly, putting the human element back into portfolio trading.
Keyboard Trader gives the individual trader an edge when trading multiple markets. Its strength lies in its ability to reach positions in separate markets simultaneously and close to instantly with the simple push of a key. Strategically planning trading theory ahead of time and utilizing the pre-programmable keys helps take the confusion out of position management when in the thick of the trading day. Spread traders would benefit the most from this technology. Once accustomed to the intricacies it is easy to utilize and organize.

How can an American spoil and how can he invalidade his vote? Could you give me examples?
Student or Learner
In Brazil, we don´t use ballot papers when we have to vote anymore; we use computers where we digit the candidates´ numbers. If I don´t like any of the candidates, and, on purpose, I digit a number that doesn´t correspond to any of the candidates, what am I doing: spoiling the vote or invalidating the vote, or both?

How can an American spoil and how can he invalidade his vote? Could you give me examples?
So what would you do with the ballot paper if none of the candidates pleased you?
In the UK, you mark a large "X" in a box next to the name of the person you are voting for. If you make any other type of mark, or write anything anywhere on the ballot paper other than in the box, you have officially "spoiled" your ballot paper.
As it's meant to be a secret vote, you then fold the paper in half and put it in the ballot box so the people who are monitoring the vote have no idea what you did.

Rule 194.1. Request (1999)
A party may obtain disclosure from another party of the information or material listed in Rule 194.2 by serving the other party - no later than 30 days before the end of any applicable discovery period - the following request: "Pursuant to Rule 194, you are requested to disclose, within 30 days of service of this request, the information or material described in Rule [state rule, e.g., 194.2, or 194.2(a), (c), and (f), or 194.2(d)-(g)]."
Amended by order of Nov. 9, 1998, eff. Jan. 1, 1999.
|Prior Amendments
|Future Amendments
|Aug. 4, 1998, eff. Jan. 1, 1999.
Notes and Comments
Comments to 1999 change:
1. Disclosure is designed to afford parties basic discovery of specific categories of information, not automatically in every case, but upon request, without preparation of a lengthy inquiry, and without objection or assertion of work product. In those extremely rare cases when information ordinarily discoverable should be protected, such as when revealing a person's residence might result in harm to the person, a party may move for protection. A party may assert any applicable privileges other than work product. Otherwise, to fail to respond fully to a request for disclosure would be an abuse of the discovery process.
2. Rule 194.2(c) and (d) permit a party further inquiry into another's legal theories and factual claims than is often provided in notice pleadings. Socalled "contention interrogatories" are used for the same purpose. Such interrogatories are not properly used to require a party to marshal evidence or brief legal issues. Paragraphs (c) and (d) are intended to require disclosure of a party's basic assertions, whether in prosecution of claims or in defense. Thus, for example, a plaintiff would be required to disclose that he or she claimed damages suffered in a car wreck caused by defendant's negligence in speeding, and would be required to state how loss of past earnings and future earning capacity was calculated, but would not be required to state the speed at which defendant was allegedly driving. Paragraph (d) does not require a party, either a plaintiff or a defendant, to state a method of calculating non-economic damages, such as for mental anguish. In the same example, defendant would be required to disclose his or her denial of the speeding allegation and any basis for contesting the damage calculations.
3. Responses under Rule 194.2(c) and (d) that have been amended or supplemented are inadmissible and cannot be used for impeachment, but other evidence of changes in position is not likewise barred.
Technical corrections:
1. Rule 194.2(g) is modified as follows: "any indemnity and insuring agreements described in Rule 192.3(f)".
2. Rule 194.2(h) is modified as follows: "any settlement agreements described in Rule 192.3(g)".
3. Rule 194.2(i) is modified as follows: "any witness statements described in Rule 192.3(h)".
4. The penultimate sentence in comment 1 to Rule 194 is modified as follows: "A party may assert any applicable privileges other than work product using the procedures of Rule 193.3 applicable to other written discovery."

Free from seizures — Maggie's Story
"I will not waste my time switching doctors again, because I have already done that too many times. I guess this is my last cry for help."
That's how Maggie Cannon ended a long email to the Deepak Madhavan, M.D., assistant professor of neurological sciences and medical director of The Nebraska Medical Center Epilepsy Program.
She did not know Dr. Madhavan, but after eight years of seizures and repeated appointments with neurologists all over Omaha, Cannon felt like she was out of options.
Watch the video to see how Dr. Madhavan helped find Cannon answers, treatment and a refreshed outlook on life.

Lisa Mark necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 206 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
Lisa Mark Photography
I am a 25-year old professional photographer from Toronto, Ontario. I classify myself primarily as a wedding and portrait photographer, but I've always loved shooting live gigs and bands, so I also welcome various creative opportunities.
As a result, my branding is fairly middle of the road when it comes to gender (i.e. nothing is too feminine and frilly. Logos and colours/design should appeal to a 25 year old bride and a band's manager just the same).
I've been shooting professionally for a few years now and I want to encourage my company's growth upward. My clients are becoming more well-established financially and I want to achieve the same grace and elegance of a high-end brand. I feel my work has a certain feeling - it's less traditional or old-fashioned, and more modern and editorial/photojournalistic, and even fashion-inspired at times.
I feel my personal professional image is that of an open, fresh, young, creative photographer who's excited about new and unique ideas for each and every client.
My work and existing branding can be seen on my website at http://www.lisamarkphotography.com
My target audience is primarily engaged couples (mainly women seek me out, but occasionally grooms do as well) who are between 20 and 40 years of age. The target market is mid to high-end financially, and my ideal client probably likes brands such as Coach, Manolo Blahnik, etc. and values great service and a fun, unique and artistic personality.
To date I've had a basic logo made up of the words "Lisa Mark Photography". I want to create a branded identity which I can utilize on business cards, stationary, etc. Most importantly I need an icon to use on my blog as a watermark.
I've attempted to use my existing full worded logo on my images as a watermark and I find it overwhelming and amateur-looking (mainly because my current logo is simply my business name typed out). I want to go in the direction of clean branding with an icon that can be placed directly on the image to discourage stealing photos.
Here are a few photographers whose logos and watermarks I like:
I also like the simple, clean, upscale logos/branding of the following brands:
Manolo Blahnik
Jimmy Choo
Holt Renfrew
My branding colours are black and red (not super bright - please see attached my current 2009 logo to see what I mean).
I would not be against introducing another accent colour but my primary branding should remain black and red. I would, however, like to be able to use the logo (or icon) as a watermark, possibly in one colour (i.e. white) - whatever looks best as a watermark.
This branding should appeal to both a bride & groom, a mother or to a rock star.
Now that I have seen several beautiful modern designs, I would love to see a few with a retro feeling to them. I think this will help me pick my favourite logo if I have a couple different style directions to choose from. Please take a look at this link for some inspiration:
Also please note that this logo may end up embossed or letterpressed onto business cards.
Thank you for all the wonderful work so far! I'm looking forward to declaring a winner.

Training fighters is nothing new for Edmond Tarverdyan or Alberto Crane.
Neither is standing center stage and competing.
But when the roles are intertwined and come crashing to a head, things can get a little chaotic. Perhaps that's the theme for Saturday night's Lights Out Promotions "Chaos at the Casino 2" hybrid fighting event, which will feature a mix of muay Thai kickboxing, boxing and mixed martial arts, with Glendale's Crane and Tarverdyan set to compete against Daniel McWilliams and Dominic Gutierrez, respectively, as headliners of the card emanating from Hollywood Park and Casino.
"I just look at it as excitement. I'm definitely coaching a lot more than fighting lately," said Crane, who lives in Glendale and runs Burbank Gracie Barra. "We're all kind of excited for each other."
Crane prodigies Damian Marzett and Rob Gooch will also be fighting on the card in MMA bouts, while Tarverdyan's longtime trainee Gapo Tolmajyan will be boxing.
"I've been doing a better job of it," said Tarverdyan of balancing his own training at the Glendale Fighting Club with preparing his charges, which include Ultimate Fighting Championship women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, UFC featherweight Manny Gamburyan and rising boxers Art Hovhannisyan and Tolmajyan. "It was tougher [the first time]. Now, I worked out my hours better."
Tarverdyan (1-0), a former muay Thai kickboxer and well-regarded striking coach, made his MMA debut at the first Chaos event May 5 and won via a first-round knockout. This time around, he's going for another knockout against journeyman Gutierrez (4-14), who's never been knocked out, in their 155-pound lightweight bout.
"I'm gonna change that," Tarverdyan said. "I love to fight people like that, I like a challenge."
Tarverdyan is set to be cornered by Rousey, Gamburyan and Andy Dermenjyan, his wrestling coach.
"For this fight I've got a great corner," Tarverdyan, 31, said.
Rousey recently had her first UFC title bout against Liz Carmouche on Feb. 23 announced, while Gamburyan's fight against Chad Mendes the same night was announced Wednesday. Hence, Tarverdyan, described by Rousey as "the most unselfish person" when it comes to balancing himself and preparing his fighters, had already begun breaking down his charges' bouts.
"I started thinking about [Rousey's] fight more, that's when I really started figuring out I take training them [as more important] than myself. ... Then we found out Manny's fighting Mendes, so I started watching stuff on him. I've been spending more time on them."
Still, when Saturday night comes, Tarverdyan assures he'll be plenty prepared to deliver.
"For my fight, I'm ready," he said.
Tarverdyan also cornered Jared Papazian, along with the latter's lead trainer, Crane, on Dec. 15 during the UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale." So, these have been busy days for both.
Crane, 36, has been busy building up his Gracie Barra Burbank studio and hasn't fought since July of 2011, when he won his third consecutive fight. For a 20-fight veteran whose Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt résumé reads as one of the finest in MMA, there's still an itch to fight, though.
"It's something I've done my entire adult life. I get that urge to get out there and do it," said Crane, who is a two-fight UFC veteran during a time in which Tarverdyan also aided in his training. "I have dreams of fighting in the UFC again, so you never know. I just have to take care of Saturday and move forward."
And Crane, who's won 14 bouts by submission, including his last three, is quite confident he'll take care of Saturday and McWilliams (10-22) in their 175-pound bout.
"It's gonna be the same story. If he's smart, he won't want to grapple with me," Crane said. "It's just a matter of me doing what I want to do."
Marzett, a former football player for the University of California, will make his MMA debut against Gabe Lopez (1-1) in a 185-pound middleweight bout, while Gooch (2-1) will take on fellow featherweight Max Cisneros.
Tolmajyan (12-2-1, two knockouts), coming off a close unanimous decision loss to the undefeated Abraham Lopez in March on ESPN2, will take on Sandoval (7-10, four KO) as the former looks to get back into the big time.
Finally, ballyhooed muay Thai knockout artist Alfred Khashakian, out of Glendale, will make his MMA debut against Mike Kabuska.
Doors are set to open at 6 p.m. with first bell scheduled for 7.

CONGRATULATIONS! read the banner, but Mary DiNunzio still couldn't believe she'd made partner, even at her own party. She felt stunned, happy, and hopeful, ready to leave behind her doubts, insecurities, and guilt. Okay, maybe not her guilt. Guilt was like her handbag, occasionally heavy, but something she just felt better carrying around. Same with her insecurities, with which she had grown secure. As for her doubts, she remained doubtful. On second thought, it remained to be seen whether becoming a partner would change Mary DiNunzio at all.
Everyone she loved stood around her smiling, filling the small conference room at Rosato & Associates, and Mary smiled back, trying to find her emotional footing now that she was no longer on the terra firma of associatehood. Bennie Rosato, the superlawyer who was her former boss, had just become her alleged equal, and if that wasn't confusing enough, her friends Judy Carrier, Anne Murphy, and Marshall Trow also worked at the firm. Mary didn't know how she'd morph her friends into her employees, or if she could double their salary.
Her boyfriend, Anthony Rotunno, was standing to the right, the proverbial tall, dark, and academic, with thick wavy hair, a gorgeous smile, and eyes the dark brown of a double shot. He was a history professor who had just moved in with her, and they were still working out the closet situation and those little hairs he left in the bathroom sink. He had his arms around her parents, Mariano "Matty" and Vita DiNunzio, who had grown shorter and rounder, resting on either side of him like meatballs on a plate of spaghetti.
Mary's father was bald and chubby in his white short-sleeved shirt and Bermuda-shorts-with-black-socks-and-sandals combination, dressed-down as usual, since the DiNunzios reserved fancy clothes for weddings or funerals. Her mother was in her best flowery housedress, with her white hair freshly teased into a cumulus cloud meant to hide her growing bald spot. Still her eyes retained their warm brown hue, doubtless the color of fertile Abruzzese soil, and the gray rimming her irises didn't obscure the love in her gaze. Beside them stood The Three Tonys— her father's friends "Pigeon" Tony Lucia, Tony "From-Down-The-Block" LoMonaco, and Tony "Two Feet" Pensiera— a trifecta of octogenarians who served as traveling uncles for Mary, occasionally helping on cases and generally clinging to her like cigar smoke.
"DiNunzio?" Bennie frowned, her eyes a concerned blue. She was six feet tall, of Amazonian strength and proportions, and had only gotten fitter since she was rowing again. Her unruly blonde hair was up in its topknot, and she had on her trademark khaki suit, so retro it had become hipster. "You don't look happy."
"I am, no, really, very happy." Mary was still afraid of Bennie, but she expected that would change, in twenty years. "It's just so overwhelming. I mean, thanks, all of you."
"Awww ," Judy, Anne, and Marshall said, smiling in unison. The phone started ringing at the reception desk, and Marshall scooted out to pick it up.
"We love you, Mary!" Anthony winked at her.
"Maria, ti amo." Her mother's eyes misted behind her thick glasses, and her father sniffled, wrinkling his largish nose. It was the DiNunzio nose, which guaranteed its wearer more oxygen than anybody in the room.v
"MARE, YOU DESERVE IT!" her father hollered, speaking in capital letters by habit, though his hearing aid sat behind his ear, more an earplug than a help. "WE'RE SO PROUD A YOU!"
The Tonys nodded, being good-natured in general, especially when the cannolis were free.
Bennie raised a styrofoam cup of champagne. "Then let's toast to DiNunzio. I mean, Mary. And we have to change our letterhead. Here's to Rosato & DiNunzio."
"Wait, call me DiNunzio," Mary blurted out. "I'm used to it, and let's hold off on the letterhead, for now. I'm not ready yet. Let it sink in."
"Mare, that's silly." Judy looked at her like she was nuts. She had superintelligent blue eyes in a round face, framed by yellow-blonde hair cut short and raggedy, so she looked like the beaming sun in a crayoned picture.
"Mary, really?" Anne frowned in a meaningful way. She was a model-pretty redhead in a dress that fit like Spanx. "Don't give away your power. Remember your affirmations."
Mary tried not to laugh. She didn't have any power to give away, and she always skipped her morning affirmations, since I DESERVE ALL MY SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS made her late for the bus. "Let's stick with DiNunzio and the old letterhead for now, okay?"
"Congratulations, DiNunzio!" Bennie grinned, and everybody raised their cups and took a sip, then hugged and kissed her, each one in turn, an aromatic blend of flowery perfume, CVS aftershave, and mothballs.
Marshall returned, leaning in the doorway, her face flushed with excitement. "Bennie, the desk just called from downstairs. Allegra Gardner is on the way up, and she's looking for representation."
"A Gardner, from the Gardner family?" Bennie's face lit up, and nobody had to tell Mary the party was over. She was a partner now and knew that money trumped fun. The firm could use new business, and the Gardners were a wealthy family, like the Kennedys with a Philadelphia accent.
"Which one's Allegra?" Mary asked, setting down her cup.
"I don't know, she didn't say, but she's a real Gardner." Marshall nodded, excited. "She just interviewed Morgan Lewis, but isn't hiring them. She wants to see us about a new matter."
"Great!" Bennie turned to Mary. "DiNunzio, we'd love to get business from that family. Do you mind if we cut your party short?"
"No, I agree," Mary said, making her first partner-y decision. She wanted to start on the right foot, and agreeing was always good. Even partners sucked up, this being America.
"Good." Bennie turned back to Marshall. "Set up the big conference room. Make sure there's laptops, fresh pads, and pencils."
Anne blinked her lovely green eyes. "I know the Gardners are super-rich, but how did they make their money?"
"It's so old they forget," Mary answered. "It's just there, like oxygen. Or carbohydrates."
Judy lifted an eyebrow. "Balzac said behind every fortune is a great crime."
Bennie scoffed. "Balzac didn't have a payroll to meet, and let's not prejudge our clients. The Gardner family interests are run by three brothers, and they own banks, reinsurance concerns, and real estate development companies." She turned to Mary's parents, Anthony, and The Tonys. "Folks, please excuse us. I know you're having dinner with Mary to night, and you're welcome to stay here until the meeting's over. It won't take more than an hour."
"Alla good, Benedetta. We know you gotta work, we wait." Mary's mother waddled over and gave Bennie a big hug, except that Bennie was six feet tall and Vita DiNunzio was a foot shorter, so her face landed between Bennie's breasts. When Bennie released her, she looked vaguely asphyxiated. "Benedetta, take cookies, cannol', sflogiatelle."
"SHE'S RIGHT, BENNIE, TAKE THE COOKIES AND PASTRY TO THE MEETING. WE'LL SIT AND HAVE ANOTHER CUPPA COFFEE." Her father gestured at Pigeon Tony, who was already pouring another round of black. Tony-From-Down-The-Block was settling down with the sports page, and Feet was tugging over a chair to put up his feet, which, oddly, had nothing to do with his nickname.
"Thanks." Bennie turned to Judy and Anne. "Ladies, we need as many people on our side of the table as she has on hers. Everybody to the big conference room for a dog-and-pony show."
Judy set down her cake. "I'll be the dog."
Anne set down her Diet Coke. "I'll be the pony."
"I'll be the partner." Mary brought up the rear, because she had to hug and kiss everybody good-bye, as was customary in South Philly, where hugs and kisses were like passports, required for all comings and goings. She hurried to the big conference room, which had one wall completely of glass, with an impressive view of the metallic ziggurat of One Liberty Place, the sharp spike of the Mellon Center, and the quaint figure of William Penn in his Quaker hat, atop City Hall. They all got busy setting up laptops, pads, and coffee, then Mary, Judy, and Anne arranged themselves on one side of the table with Bennie at the head, because it went without saying that she would run the meeting. She wasn't the only partner anymore, but she was still the Office Mom.
Which, as it turned out, was exactly what Allegra Gardner needed, because Allegra Gardner was only thirteen years old.

Protection Of Patient Privacy
The sixth mistake of managers that causes firms to lose lawsuits is papering an employee's file. Found that numerous servicemen were being rejected by the draft board as a result of they'd tuberculosis. In the subsequent Hub, The Current Approach, highlights the actual fact Delaware residents have entry to better variety of restoration assets in the event that they incarcerated, in a court docket ordered program, or on public assistance then if they had been a State Employee lined by insurance coverage.
Strategy for a digital well being system offering integrated providers with well timed, safe and reliable access to patient information across public and private care providers. Having just graduated faculty and being without a job presently, the fact that I don't have well being care scares me the most. The residence care industry is booming and Home Health Aide's are on the front line.
The purpose is that the three counties are distinctive, with sturdy neighborhood identities, different service suppliers to collaborate with, and even completely different health problems to a surprising extent. To have ICT used to better and extra useful impact within the Australian Health Sector. Therefore they inform me in this division I am not eligible for full time standing.
I was 41 years outdated when this started, I actually have any army of medical doctors who all agreed that I'm totally and permantly disabled and the police department required actual doctors to approve me and so they did for medical causes but social safety denies hoping you will hand over. Three years will move before my hearing date. Each state is different however the magic quantity that your income has to fall below is normally $7,500.

When my love swears that she is made of truth
I do believe her, though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutor'd youth,
Unlearned in the world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppress'd.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
O, love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told:
Therefore I lie with her and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be.
Sonnet 138: Translation to modern English
When my mistress swears that she speaks nothing but the truth I believe her so that she will think that I'm a naïve youth, ignorant of the complex ways of the world – even though I know she's lying. So, to satisfy my vanity, I believe that she regards me as young, even though she knows that my best days are behind me. I agree with her lies without reservation. And so we're both concealing the truth from each other. But why does she insist on her lies? And why don't I insist that I'm old? Oh, it's best for lovers to pretend to trust each other; and older lovers don't like having their age pointed out. So I lie with her and she lies with me, and both being imperfect, we flatter each other with our lies.

The mac release (AU and VST) should contained both the 32 and 64 bits versions. However, I don't think they will work properly in protools.Supprimer
no man whenever I download the links on the side I only get 1 set of amps and they don't work on logic pro x so I'm assuming they are 32 bitSupprimer
Lepou, yes, the "mac amp sims au " package doesnt work. they're all 32 bit, so logic doesnt laod them. i cant find the 64 bit anywhereSupprimer
if you would release them in 64,that would be amazingly kind of you. thank you
NEVERMIND ! for matthew, just download them through the new download link, and replace the oens you already have in your plugins folder.Supprimer
they work both 32 and 64 bit now. Thanks lepou !!
If you have problems loading 32 bit plugins into 64 bit hosts, Ableton has this issue as well, there is a program called jBridger which will solve this problem. It's not free, I think 15 or 20 dollars is what it cost myself.Supprimer
Simply load the program scan your vst folder, create a new subfolder for the 'bridged' vst's and the 32 and 64 bit will work within the 64 bit environment.
I used these LePou plugins around 3 years ago, amazing with my Schecter. Now I'm using them with Shreddage 2.
Thank you for the fantastic sounds again.
What is the difference between the AU and VST files?RépondreSupprimerRéponses
AU is for MacSupprimer
Vst is for PC
Thanks for plugin Legion. This VST is very, very similar tube preamps (Engl). Only Legion have fat, full midd frequencies and living dirty tube sound ! Only Legion ! I compare with another VST preamps simulators. All another in more harsh, edge and digital.RépondreSupprimer
The Youtube clip sounds great. This might be a stupid question, where are the download links? I cant seem to locate them.RépondreSupprimer
Ah yes..silly me...thanks a bunch!RépondreSupprimer
I can't get this to work on my Mac. It should be easier than this is. Download the files. Extract. Then click on the icon and play the guitar.RépondreSupprimer
When I unpack it asks for serial number...how do I install? help!RépondreSupprimer
Maybe its just me but I couldn't find the SoloC head 2.11 download link.. ?RépondreSupprimerRéponses
Hello i really want to download the poulin LE456 v1.1, but were is it available from? please help me.RépondreSupprimer
ill wait in excitment :DRépondreSupprimer
Question.....what happened to Le456 v. 1.1. I think it has a totally different sound than the new version.RépondreSupprimer
I reaaaally want to use Lecto, but it is not appearing at all in my VST section of DAW. I am using Studio One v2 Professional 64 bit btw. Any idea why I can't see any of those amp sims?RépondreSupprimerRéponses
I don't have Studio One, I tried the free version yesterday but if I understand well the restrictions, the free version doesn't allowed to load third party plugins. I may give a try to the demo version over the weekend. Do you the same issue with other third party plugins ?Supprimer
Thanks for responding. No, not all. In fact, SoloC and Legion appear and work just fine. Some weird reason the download pack here isn't showing up.Supprimer
Well good news. I got it work from downloading it from a youtube link. Thanks for all you do my friend. Rock on!Supprimer
New links is working with 32-bit very high cpu..RépondreSupprimer
Hey Lepou, I'd love to learn to do this kind of stuff. I'd love to ask you how to get started, but I'm sure there's a lot to explain. So instead, do you have any links to good online resources? I can figure out how to bundle it into a plugin myself, I'm sure. It's the actual amp modeling that I'm trying to figure out. Thanks!RépondreSupprimer
Lecto, the new regulations and the interface would also be nice.RépondreSupprimer
Hello, just want to know if the old vst plugins will be available againRépondreSupprimer
I am unable to get FL Studio 10 to recognize these amp sim packs.RépondreSupprimerRéponses
User error. These work perfectly and thank you very much for putting them in our hands! :)Supprimer
hello, my warmest congratulations on your work. used soloC head + Lecab.RépondreSupprimer
The performance meter in cubase up more than any other plugin.
The performance meter jumps cubase normal peak performance that makes it appear in the sound clip and then stabilizes ..... ¿?.
I use win8 i7 processor with 16G Ram 2gigas graph. asio fast track ultra.
What I have to do to improve performance and make it better?
greetings and thanks
Hi LePou,RépondreSupprimer
Thanx for all of your efforts. You are one the awesome human being on this planet.
Cheerz !!! m :-)
Hi LePou,RépondreSupprimer
I've just discovered LE456 and I'm in love with it. The only problem I have is that after the plugin has been idle for about 20 seconds, the CPU usage jumps really high (64% per instance) and I have to use gNormal to tame it. (64-bit version in Reaper + Win 8.1)
The amp sims sound great and work no problem. However I can't seem to get Ableton to recognize LeCab.RépondreSupprimer
Hey Lepou this are incredible sounds! I just download it but I can get the amps into my Cubase 5.1? are they compatible with my Cubase 5,1? greetings! (i just drag the .dll files to my vstplugins but when I looking them they just dont appear) Thanks for this incredible work!RépondreSupprimer
Great stuff made my guitars sound huge.RépondreSupprimer
Until I got a VST BRIDGE lost connection error with all of your plugins. I'm running cubase 6.5 on a 64bit system my project is 88.2 also can't get lecab 2 to work just maxes out my system when a impulse is loaded.
issue with the Mac AU downloadRépondreSupprimer
For those having issues on Windows system, my development computer died few weeks ago so I can't address those issues at the moment. Updates will be posted here as sons as issues are fixed. Sorry !RépondreSupprimer

hi man, I downloaded the LeCab2rev1 but when I try to install it appear something like "max runtime" does your plugins have something to do with Max? Could you help with some instructions about how to install the vat? thanks man. I appreciate itRépondreSupprimer
hi, where are the new links?RépondreSupprimer
every vst I try to download brings me to the dropbox error page..thanks a lot, I need that wonderful lecto :)
hey anyone have luck with these plugs with pro tools 10?RépondreSupprimerRéponses
ive been messing with it for the last 24 hrs! lepou! point me in the right direction please, do they work with PT10?Supprimer
I'm not a Protools user, sorry. Normally they should not work because PT10 supports only AAX plugin format (and maybe RTAS but I'm not sure). Some people use a wrapper (VST to RTAS) with older PT versions. This way it's possible to load the plugins but I think the parameters can't be changed :(Supprimer
Will AAX versions ever become available? I really love your product, but unfortunately I only really feel comfortable inside PTSupprimer
Will there ever be 64 bit LeCab? I'd pay money for that. But I am cheap, so only like 10 or 15 dollars.RépondreSupprimer
Well done for your great work!RépondreSupprimer
Your plugins really made me a happier musician!
I'd like to mention an issue I discovered..
I have been using LeXTAC (Poulin_LeXTAC_v1.0.dll) for 2 years, being able to use the preset list from the VST wrapper window.
Recently I downloaded the LeXTAC (LeXtac.dll) from the new download links. I supppose its a newer version (3-way oversampling switch at the right), but I'd like to inform you that the preset list is not working properly. Only one preset is in the list and there is no way that another one can be added. I tested this on Cantabile Performer and Nuendo 4.3 and reproduced the same issue.
I have seen this issue in other plugins (Waves, Kazrog Recabinet 3.5), but in LeXTAC its necessary for me to be able to change the presets from the VST host application.
Any ideas why this issue is occuring? Thanks in advance!
LePou any news on the update for windows?RépondreSupprimer
anxiously waiting !!!
I would love to use these amps, however, when I install them my logic won't recognize it at all. I'm running a non-intel Mac (osx 10.5.8) and logic pro 8. Are these plugins just for Intel macs? Any help would be fantastic!RépondreSupprimer
Where i can download the best vst distortion ever, the Solo C Fullstack? You are giving us earthlings reason to smile!RépondreSupprimer
This commenting system is strange, please forgive me if this shows up multiple times. I'm trying to post but nothing's showing up yet. :(RépondreSupprimer
I've been having issues with all of your plugins. They sound fantastic but I get a ton of crazy cpu spikes and lag. Very difficult to work with. In order to use them I am forced to load them when exporting only and unloading them when working with my song. What am I doing wrong?
I use FL Studio 11
Windows 7 64-bit 4gb ram
And thank you for your wonderful plugins, my go-to amp is almost always LeGion.
i´ve got a lot of problems to download lepou. :(RépondreSupprimer
i cant open the files and i cant use them. do i have to install anozjer program before downloading lepou?
I can't even locate the download links. Where are they concealed?RépondreSupprimer
I am trying to install the Mac VST and it downloads as a .vstRépondreSupprimer

its just lecab that wont workRépondreSupprimer
thank you for providing such great plugins!RépondreSupprimer
btw, AcmeBarGig, you put a link for, is shut down.
what happened to it?
I cannot load the plugins provided in your amp sim pack. I copied the plugins in the vst folder but cubase 5 doesn't recognize them. What seems to be the problem?RépondreSupprimer
Hey, I would love to download these plugins, but both of the Windows download links on the right side of your blog give me an error at Copy.com saying that I can't get the file. Can you check those links and see if there's a way to fix them?RépondreSupprimer
Hi, the copy.com link doesn't work for me even though I've made an account over there.RépondreSupprimer
Can you please provide a working download link to all your latest amp sims please?
Hi, it seems that the links for the amp sims for windows don't work, both 32 and 64. Cheers, ( a soon user of your plugins =) )RépondreSupprimer
how i download i cant see any linkRépondreSupprimer
Hi there! Thanks for putting all of this together, Ive heard amazing things about your plugins! I'm dying to try them out, but I am also having the issue with both Windows Download Links. Neither the Windows 64, or 32 links work. The website says that it's not able to find the file. Thanks in advance for any info or help you can share!RépondreSupprimer
The links are still not working, hope you get them back up soon :DRépondreSupprimer

What is a real life example of the difference between a Classification and a Code List?
GSIM documents that there is a difference between the two, but when you get right down to it, where do you draw this line?
In your opinion, what is the boundary between a Code List and a Classification?
14 Comments
In GSIM, the difference between a code list and a classification is that the categories in each level of a classification are mutually exclusive and exhaustive. Categories in each level of a code list don't have to satisfy those criteria. For instance, race and ethnicity categories don't constitute a classification since each person can fall into many of those categories at once. Therefore, the categories are not mutually exclusive. For example, my ethnicity is English, Irish, Lithuanian, Russian, Scottish, and Ukranian.
I agree with the notion that a code list does not have to have categories that are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, whereas a statsitical classification does. I can't agree with Dan's example, however. It is entirely possible to create a set of race, ancestry or ethnicity categories that are mutually exclusive. Whilst data on these concepts will frequently, but not always, refer to persons, the entities being classified are not persons. They are ethnic or ancestral groups or identities and a person may be associated with multiple groups or identities, in the same way as a person may speak multiple languages. It doesn't follow that that English and Ukrainian languages, ethnic groups etc are not discrete and mutually exclusive concepts.
The point is that it is possible to create a set of categories in such a way that they are mutually exclusive and exhaustive or in such a way that they are not mutually exclusive and or exhaustive. For example, if I create a set of language categories that contains English, Scouse, Geordie, Cockney, Bronx, Dutch, Flemish, Afrikaans and Netherlandic, this is not a classification becasue the categories are neither mutually exclusive nor exhaustive of a particular population of languges - but it is a category set.
David - The race/ethnicity example was based on the practical difficulty of writing an exhaustive list, even though it may be possible in theory. My naming 4 ethnicities was intended to illustrate the fact that people consider themselves all kinds of combinations of races and ethnicities. This is especially problematic in the US. The combinations are too numerous to list. In this sense, this can only be a code list and not a classification.
That is perfectly clear to me and it can be useful to distinguish. The issue linked to this is, once we agree that we would like to have both: can code list and classification share related objects?
Yes, code lists and classification can share categories. First, code lists or classifications themselves have versions, so they share categories from one version to another, but that is only sharing within class. Here is an example of a code list and classification that share categories. This example is somewhat artificial, but it illustrates the issue. Supose a technical school of higher eduction offers coures in mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science; and the school only allows students to major in one or two subjects. So, the course classification is the list given above
computer science
yet, the code list for majors is
01 - mathematics
02 - physics
03 - engineering
04 - computer science
05 - math/phys
06 - math/eng
07 - math/cs
08 - phys/eng
09 - phys/cs
10 - eng/cs
It is clear that the categories designated by the first 4 codes are the same as the categories in the course classification.
I have added an attachment with a real life example of the difference between a low investment, low reusability, low maintenance codelist with non-mutually exclusive categories and a high investment, high reusability but low maintenance classification.
A code list is more general (weaker defined concept system) than a classification.
If the categories are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, it is a classification...if it isn't then it is a code list.
This is agreed??
What about Hierarchical codelist? Is this where the line blurs?
- It is possible to have a hierarchical code list that is not a classification. ( Dan Gillman to provide example)
- Hierarchical code lists can have more than one parent. This is not a classification. This is how a SDMX hierarchical code list works. ( Chris Nelson will provide an example - geography).
- We need to check if GSIM want to mirror what SDMX does...maybe we don't....
I wrote a comment giving an example use case of a code with multiple parents. Whilst the example was correct the comment about GSIM support for this was not correct. Apologies if you have already read the comment (I have now removed it). I will write a (hopefully correct) comment as soon as I can. I'm out if the office for the rest of this week.
Here is the revised example use case of a code having multiple parents.
Hierarchical Code List
Chris Nelson
16 July 2013
The scope of this note is to give an example of a hierarchical code list where a code may have more than one parent. This is in response to the request made at the CC for the implementation group on 2 July.
GSIM Code List and Classification
Both of these inherit from a Node Set. A Node Set contains Nodes and both Code Item and Classification Item inherit from Node. A Node can be hierarchic in that it can comprise "child" or "part" Nodes: each Node may only have one parent Node (and may have none). However, a Node has a mandatory association to a Category.
So, whilst in GSIM a Code cannot have more than one parent Code, there is nothing in the model that prohibits the same Category being represented more than once in a Code List – (the definition of a Classification Scheme explicitly prohibits this for Classification Items).
An example use case for this is given below.
Example of a Code with Multiple Parents in the same Hierarchical Code List (HCL).
The example is a Geography Code List. In this list each geographic location such as a country can be in more than one "hierarchy". GSIM has no such object as an explicit hierarchy: hierarchical structures are defined in parent/child or whole/child relationships between one Node and other Nodes.
Example codes that could have multiple parents using countries could be:
- Continent
- Trading Block
- Currency Block
- Military Union
Any one country can be in one or more of these hierarchies. In the GSIM model the semantic of the "hierarchy" (e.g. Continent) would need to be a Category linked to Code, as this is the only way of grouping contained lower level (+child or + part) Codes.
This use case is true for data dissemination and could also be true for other processes. Like other Categories the "parent" country in the Code List has no explicit relationship to data but can be used by an application to determine data values to which it relates (e.g. where the country is a dimension in a dimensional data set an application can allow viewing by e.g. Continent) .
Note that in SDMX there is an object called "Hierarchical Code List" (HCL) and this is a different object from a Code List where the Code can have a parent/child hierarchy but is restricted to each Code having a maximum of one parent Code.
The HCL in SDMX does not specify "Codes" in the GSIM sense (though each "node" or "hierarchical code" has an Id), it merely references Codes from one or more code lists and places them in one or more hierarchies (the "hierarchical code" can have children). This is not dissimilar to the GSIM Code (which can have children) referencing a Category (as the country semantic (e.g. France) will be a Category). However, in the SDMX HCL it is possible to maintain the codes comprising the "hierarchy" in a code list that is different from the code list comprising the countries. The HCL brings these together. Note that the SDMX HCL also has a Hierarchy object that contains the hierarchical codes.
**** end ****
A small reply on this interesting discussion. A country is not a geographical location. It is an administrative or political location. That is why a lot of regional classifications are in reality code lists. One level is a geographical classification (continent) and the sublevel is a administrative classifciation (country). This is not possiple because one country can be part of two or more continents. A level in an hierarchical classification should be a refinement (=according the same point of view = geographical in this example) of the parent level.
I offered to create a Hierarchical Code List using the GSIM classes that exist already. I have called this list a Complex Code List as the Code List in GSIM can already support hierarchical structures of Code Items. This may not be a good name and this is open to suggestion if this structure is deemed worthy of inclusion in a future version of GSIM.
Note that whilst this model is based on the SDMX model for Hierarchical Code List (HCL) the SDMX HCL also has optional Levels and some additional attributes to support specific uses cases but these are no included in this model. The green classes are those that exist already and the light tan colour is used for the new classes.
Hi Chris, Sorry just realized I had not tagged you here. It was for an example that was not geography. Cheers,Thérèse
Discussion 2/10:
Action: In the documentation we need to have a good example of what is a classification and what is a codelist (drawn from the the comments at the top of the thread).
I think this discussion needs also to deal with the relation between category sets and statsitical classifications. The code list is the easy part, since the code is simply a representation of a category.
