The UK is looking to do more to help students gain overseas work experience.
During university open days or induction weeks, those stands offering the opportunity to work or study abroad tend to have the longest queues, reports Anne Marie Graham, head of programme for Outward Student Mobility in the UK Higher Education International Unit (IU).
"In that first wave of excitement when students are applying, they think it would be great but then they get involved in their courses, have the pressure of the curriculum and assignments, they're locked into accommodation contracts, have made friends and a reluctance can creep in," she explains. "It's not because they don't want to go abroad but they maybe think it might be too difficult to fit in [with studies] or are concerned about the impact it would have on their learning."
The UK Strategy for Outward Mobility
The UK Strategy for Outward Mobility was launched by the former Universities and Science Minister David Willetts at the end of last year, who said to compete in the global race, the UK needs its graduates "to understand other countries". The strategy aims to address the imbalances that exist in student mobility in the UK. A number of research reports have pointed to the importance of graduates having international work experience but for every 15 students the UK receives for higher education, it only sends one abroad. Currently, the majority of outgoing UK students who study or work abroad do so through the European Union's Erasmus Mobility Programme.
While these numbers have increased in recent years, the country still only ranks sixth in terms of the number of students taking part in Erasmus exchanges behind Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Poland, according to Erasmus: Facts and Figures at a Glance by the British Council in 2013.
Increasing access to opportunities abroad
The Outward Mobility programme team implementing the strategy is based at the IU, whose remit it is to initiate and undertake projects to support and develop the UK HE sector's international activities. The team aims to increase access to opportunities abroad in a number of ways. This includes this month's launch of the Go International website, which acts as a one-stop information hub for students, universities and colleges, and there will also be a section for parents.
Graham says that students will be able to explore case studies to see what opportunities exist in their subject area and the countries they would like to work in. They will also be able find out who else from their university has taken part in such projects. The programme team will also monitor trends and has a policy role, working with universities to feed back to policy-makers and the relevant areas of government.
"We will be the collective voice of the sector in this area and want to raise awareness of the benefits and opportunities of outward mobility to students but also academics."
Focusing on engineering
Graham states that engineering is one of the areas where the programme wants to increase student mobility overseas.
"It's a very international profession and the more opportunities we can introduce for undergraduates and postgraduates the better," she says, adding that it plans to work with the industry's professional bodies to produce a statement regarding outward mobility.
Supporting professional development
"Anecdotally, we hear that some students believe if they go overseas it may affect their professional status as the work or study might not count towards a UK qualification. The professional bodies we've spoken to say this is not the case and would encourage it as invaluable experience for a career in engineering or technology. So we want to work with them to join up the dots and ensure this message is communicated to academics and senior management at the [educational] institutions so they can start brokering these opportunities.
"We already have a number of case studies that show there is now shortage of opportunities and even short-terms ones. The experience can be really transformative."
Engineering placements in Bangladesh
These include the story of Eleanor Earl, who went went on a three-week placement at the end of the second year of her MEng in civil and environmental engineering to Dinajpur and Dhaka in Bangladesh. Eleanor says travel and experiencing different cultures was instilled in her from a young age and she has worked voluntarily or paid in a number of other countries. Through her involvement with the Cardiff University branch of Engineers without Borders (EWB), she found out about a range of placements overseas for engineering students, of which the Red R placement in Bangladesh was of most interest (Red R is an international humanitarian NGO).
"This was my first time working in a developing country," says Eleanor. "I had the opportunity to put the things I had been learning as part of my degree programme into practice in real life. More importantly than this, the small part I played in the construction project resulted in real benefits for the local community. This placement helped me to secure a job from September 2014 with ARUP in London. It has enabled me to succeed in what I want to do. I will be working on infrastructure projects both in the UK and overseas using my civil engineering degree".
Graham explains that one of the programme's future projects is to carry out specific research on the employability benefits of international work experience for students across a range of disciplines: "It will be able to identify whether a student who has been involved in an outward mobility project is more likely to be employed six months after graduation than those that haven't."

This team was made up of four gifted individuals:
Juste Kulakauskaite (RAUDONOS NOSYS – RED NOSES in Lithuania)
Indre Mickeviciute-Petrauskiene (RAUDONOS NOSYS – RED NOSES in Lithuania)
Jan Šprynar (ZDRAVOTNÍ KLAUN - RED NOSES in Czech Republic)
Pavel Mihalak (ČERVENÝ NOS – RED NOSES in Slovakia)
The armed conflict in eastern Ukraine continues despite ceasefires and has forced a massive displacement of people. The situation is dire for IDPs, they are not eligible to claim asylum or seek protection in another country as they are not classified as refugees under international law. Since IDPs remain within their borders, their own state is responsible for protecting and assisting them under international law.
The assistance to the large number of displaced people depends on external sources other than the state-run social support system. The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) deliver services to IDP's where government services fall short by establishing psychosocial centres for safe and protective environments for children and their caregivers affected by the conflict. Despite their best efforts, more help is needed.
Each of our interventions is unique. In Mariupol, a city that is visibly scarred from the conflict, the clowns were welcomed with open arms. Pavel noted that, "after performing in a region where schools, kindergardens and homes had been physically destroyed, the people received us warmly. People shared their memories with us, giving us a glimpse into the changing circumstances they face each day."
Within this context, RED NOSES International actively works to strengthen the pyschosocial support offered to IDPs. Aiding in the creation of an environment where children feel relaxed and safe to play, the Emergency Smile programme reinforces the work being done by our partners. Each clown uses their unique talents to build a connection with each child, utilizing the power of laughter to draw out positive reactions.
While strengthening the previous work with URCS and UNICEF, our clowns also benefited over 300 volunteers and staff of our partners by providing workshops on how to use humour in their daily work. This is especially important when providing psychosocial support to the Ukrainian people.
Sasha, a volunteer with the URCS, explains why our presence is needed, "The entire URCS team in Mariupol, including myself, wanted to come to see how RED NOSES clowns would interact with the tough audience. Immediately, we knew the clowns had a gift that could touch a child's soul and help them to open up. I will not forget this moment in all my life."
With these moments of tears and joy, the brave team returned knowing that their work was appreciated. It was wonderful end of the mission!
This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

Friday, April 25, 2003
Tensions rose at 312 Atwood Street last weekend when Pitt sophomore Bryan Jones attempted to remove the plastic he and his roommates put on the windows before the winter began. The residence is an older, drafty building, and with the rising temperatures, Jones wanted to open the windows to let in some fresh air.
Roommate Josh Fraser abruptly stopped the removal proceedings, citing the need to keep their house equipped for a possible biological, chemical, nuclear, or radiological terrorist attack.
"I can't believe you're even thinking about taking down the plastic!" Fraser exclaimed. "What if there is contaminated air out there in South Oakland? Don't you know that it may end up saving our lives?"
Jones attempted to reason with Fraser, stating that the roommates had put up the plastic before any warnings were even given to the American public. He also said that the old house had tons of drafts and certainly wasn't airtight, which would mean in the event of an attack, the plastic would provide Fraser with possibly 10 more minutes of life than the rest of the world.
"The Department of Homeland Security would not give us misinformation – we must be prepared," Fraser retorted.
"Goddamn Josh is just frigging lazy," Jones said. "That asshole didn't even help us put any of it up, and now he doesn't want to help us take it down."
Jones also reported that Fraser often claims to have a stockpile of duct tape and three days worth of food and water stashed in his bedroom closet, although the roommates have debunked the idea. They believe Fraser wouldn't "walk his fat ass to the store to buy the shit."
The residents of 312 Atwood have compromised by removing the plastic from everyone's bedroom windows except for Fraser's.
"This is a great safe room for me, especially with the proximity to the bathroom. They'll be sorry in the end."
There have been no reports as to what Fraser will do when the apartment lease ends in June. "Let him figure it out. If he still wants to be 'safe,' he'll need to put the fucking plastic up himself in a new apartment, because we're all moving out."

Online medical information symptom checkers are best used as a rough guide and not a definitive source of diagnoses, as Cutler PR warns. This is because these checkers do not incorporate certain essential factors, such as medical history and lifestyle, into their diagnoses, according to Everyone Healthy.
A 2011 study conducted by the Pew Research Center found that 80 percent of Internet users have sought medical information from the Internet, according to CNN. However, the information gathered from symptom checkers and other sources on the Internet should be used with caution.
This is because not all information on the web is reliable, and relying on information from a bad website is extremely dangerous, as CNN warns. To avoid potentially inaccurate information, Internet users should look for medical information on sites with a .org or .edu extension, or they should restrict themselves to websites run by organizations such as Mayo Clinic.
Information from online symptom checkers is typically useful for generating tentative diagnoses and determining methods that can be used to immediately relieve some symptoms, as CNN reports. Information from these checkers can also be used to determine when home care is adequate and when individuals should seek professional medical help.

This 4th of July weekend was a fitting time for me to move forward with my investment planning. Celebrating our political freedom and combining it with my pursuit of financial freedom. =)
Right now I'm in the process of searching for and finding good investment candidates. This is easily the most tedious and time consuming part of the process, but very important and necessary for overall success. After all, you're not going to have much success if you start out from the gate with bad investment choices.
What makes this tedious? If I were to ask you to pick a few stocks that had good upside potential and low downside risk, what would you say? Well, if you're like most of my coworkers, you would say the name of whatever stocks you heard in the news or other people taking about, or what you're currently investing in without being able to explain much detail into their answer. And these are the folks that think they know something about stocks. The rest would just say "I don't know and leave it at that.
Those who limit their investment only to stocks they've heard about also limit their opportunities by a big margin. There are thousands and thousands of stocks out there- some going up, some going down and some not doing much at all.
Looking for good stocks in a field that large can easily be an overwhelming task. To narrow down the field, some will stick to looking at stocks in a certain sector like energy of financial stocks. I myself prefer to use scanning software when I've set up certain search criteria of what I'm looking for in a stock. The scan is run against all stocks in the market and usually spits out 200 - 500 stocks- a much more manageable amount of stocks to examine.
I narrow down the field further after looking over what came up in the scan to usually under 50 stocks. I take those 50 and put them in my "stockpicks" file for later use. As time goes on that "stockpicks" file gets bigger and bigger. It's from my stockpicks list when I get my final investment selections from. Currently, there are about 1500 stocks in the list.
I subscribe to the "timing philosophy" of stock picking where I believe that not only is it important to pick a good stock, but you need to purchase it at the right time. Even great stocks have down periods and you want to avoid buying stocks that have already made a big move up and are headed back down in consolidation. So from my stockpicks file, I cull the list of all the stocks that are in the ball park of good times to buy or short. This is the current stage that I was able to complete this weekend. I've been able to narrow down the list of current candidates to about 190.
Now I've got to look at the remaining stocks more closely with regards to their fundamentals and technical indicators. When I'm finished, I think I will have it narrowed down to 15 - 25 final candidates.
Tedious? Yes. Time consuming? Absolutely. Brain drain? Sure. But when all is done, I'll have a list of stocks I can readily invest in that come from me, rather than a dubious tip or recommendation from a so-called media financial guru or well intentioned but misinformed acquaintances. It also helps me find good stocks that few people have heard of since they aren't yet in the media spotlight.
Taxes Done...Onward To Phase One
This 4th of July weekend was a fitting time for me to move forward with my investment planning. Celebrating our political freedom and combining it with my pursuit of financial freedom. =)

Lilija's first day of preschool
We really hadn't considered preschool until we took her in to get her kindergarten prescreening through Anoka Hennepin. Well, she rocked out the tests and then the lady says, "She does have a difficult time following other people's agendas." You can only giggle at that. Um, yes, that is a very accurate statement. So, we very quickly looked for a preschool and landed at Mt. Olive Christian Preschool in Anoka. Lilija's has been going there for a few months now and just loves it! It's so fun to see her artwork, hear her tell stories about Jesus, and sing songs from school. Here are some snapshots from her first day.

She has bought this on herself with her rude and hurtful remarks. This will be a good life lesson to her if you can be upfront about why you don't want to see her again.
I think @Californication posted a great response. If you're concerned about being too confrontational about it, you could water it down slightly.
You'll feel much better once you make it final. Just press send and block their numbers.

I would get dh to send a text stating that since she said what she did last you were together. That as a couple you have decided that her rudeness towards you and the disrespect to towards him, you will no longer met up.

I have been in a similar type friendship I wanted to end for different reasons but I had to do exactly what californication said. I messaged her outlining the reasons I no longer wished to continue the friendship and the behaviour I could no longer endure. I never heard from her again Mind you she ran around to everyone whining I was a b*tch and so mean to her but previous to this she just refused to get the message so I was left with no choice. It also meant I didn't need to have a direct confrontation with her.
But if I were you I would get your DH to send the text. Not only is she originally his friend, but if it comes from you she'll just tell that group how you've cut your DH off from his friends, you control him blah blah.

I can see what you mean about maturity... Wow...
14-01-2016 15:25 #27
No, hopefully not fisty cuffs just that I know DH really hates confrontation and there's every chance her DH will call him and get into it with him. Her DH hasn't technially done anything horrible (although he's a crappy husband to her, which is why my DH started backing way from him in the first place) so DH will basically be having to tell him his wife ruined their friendship. My DH is such a gentle person, I know something like that would stress him to the max.
Thanks, I couldn't see Californication's post until now for some reason! It is a great response. Once I really started writing out the types of things she has said last night, I started to realise just how rude she has been!
I know what you mean, I'm sure she will tell the group that. Her DH is already one of those people who refers to anyone who doesn't choose to go out drinking with his mates over being with his wife, or doesn't feel comfortable watching strippers etc "pussy-whipped". They've actually themselves written off not only friends, but family over them being "pussy-whipped" (maybe that's a good sign, it might mean they'll write us off quickly once I tell her we don't want to be friends!). The only problem is, I don't think DH will be able to be the one to send them a message. He almost has a heartattack just sending his boss a message telling them he's not going to be doing something, or coming in. I've almost got to dictate what he should write word for word. I know he should take it as a learning opportunity, but I still feel like she's specifically been rude to me, it's probably my job to respond direct to her. I think she'll bi!ch about me no matter what - if I send the message, I'll be taking him away from his friends, If he sends the message I'll be too gutless to talk to her myself and he'll just be 'pussy-whipped'.
I know, right?

Hey OP. I will preface what I'm about to say by saying that I don't think I would get along with your 'friend' and I probably would have been very blunt and told her what I thought by now.
That being said I can't help but feel there may be some sensitivity and inappropriate expectations on both sides.
For example, I think it is unfair and unrealistic to expect a pregnant woman to tailor the delivery of her pregnancy announcement to individual desires. If someone feels they can only hear about a friends pregnancy through a text message to me that suggests that person needs help with something. If my friends had put in similar requests to me ... unless they were a super BFF I would probably feel like backing away from them - I just don't have the energy for high maintenance friendships.
How old is the female friend? How long have you been with your DH? If it has been a long time (5-10 years etc) then I would suggest it's time to let the angst over how you got together go. People can be immature turds when they are younger - I know there were some times when I treated people in a way I am not proud of. To some extent you have to give people the opportunity to redeem themselves. Additionally - it's not all on the other female - if your hubby farted around deciding whether to be with you or not then that's also on him. If you haven't been together that long I would be looking for signs your DH is supportive of you. Managing the situation with his friends (they knew him first) so you wouldn't have to would be one thing I think he could do for you.
Some ideas - food for thought for you. Best of luck.

She is 26, 10 years younger than me. I've been with my DH for 5 years. I understand what you're saying about putting it behind me, and it was absolutely on him too, but in all honesty, it still hurts. He was living with her and her DH at the time and I know she had a lot of influence over what was going on. I also did some nasty things when I was younger, but that doesn't mean I expect people to forgive me for them just because I was young and immature. What she said and did to me was unacceptable and specifically designed to hurt me through something she knows I'm insecure about.
DH is exceedingly supportive of me and he would do that for me if I asked, but i actually feel like it's almost like asking him to fight my battles for me. If he had an issue with my brother for instance, I'd tell him to sort it out himself, I wouldn't run interference for him because it was my family. He's already shown me support by saying he's happy to step away from an entire group of his friends because he's not going to put up with someone treating his wife that way.
If I was interested in holding on to her friendship, I would make an effort to let it all go, but in all honesty I don't particularly like her. She's a nasty piece of work to almost everyone she knows and she's been disrespectful to me from the get go. I've only made an effort up until now so DH wouldn't lose the group of friends.

I think you just need to let go of the fact that there won't be any form of negativity after you send the text. There obviously will be. But neither of you want to be friends with her so end it. She will ***** about you . But she does already. The great thing is you won't be around to hear it! I think if it bothers you that much do some honest communication tell her how you feel.

I would dare to say it's a almost unmeasurable difference, I would love it if somebody proves me wrong.
Anyway, can we conclude that if you buy top-of-the-line, 6000$ worth of gear, it makes zero sense not to invest in a few digital cables?

Sonically, you will not hear a difference, even on the biggest sound systems at major festivals...
...However, there is one key point to note for why you should ALWAYS spring for digital connection when possible on pioneer gear:
When hooking up gear to DJMs with digital connections (either S/PDIF or USB) it is NOT POSSIBLE to clip the channel gains on the mixer. You can (but you shouldnt) turn the gains and the EQs up 100% on the channels well into the red and it still will not be physically clipping (only on the channels, the Master Out & Booth Out is different. More on that in a minute).
Ive contacted Pioneer reps directly on this to confirm and tested myself.
The reason is because of the 32bit floating point DSP (on NXS2, I think its 24bit on first gen 900nxs and djm2000) makes the headroom so huge that it is *pretty much* impossible to clip the gains on a digital signal.
When I set up gear for international artists on tour at major festivals I always use digital inputs, have the Master Attenuation at the lowest setting it will go (-12db on NXS2, -6db on DJM900nxs) and also booth attenuation on nxs2 the same. As well the Peak Limiter turned on in mixer settings.
This means that I can safely not worry if a DJ redlines (which happens WAY more than you think with major artists) because I know the signal leaving the mixer will not be distorted no matter how loud the DJ turns it up and I dont have to play the silly game of explaining to them that if they turn it down, Ill turn it up on the Front of House mixing console running the show sound system.
It also has the added benefit that if the previous/next DJ uses a Serato box (because they STILL havent gotten Serato Club Kit expansion in 2017 🙄 or some other analog sound card device, you dont have to worry about unplugging a live signal cable as only the cdjs will be digital.
So in summary, always use digital when possible simply because you can drive a mixer louder (which you dont need to do, but DJs never learn...) without distortion, and it makes changeovers with other pieces of gear into the same mixer a breeze
Older digital Pioneer DJMs were 32bit DSP. NXS2 is 64bit. Other than their choice of dither to the output stages, it shouldn't make any difference. None of their filter Qs are narrow/tight enough to get ringing errors in 32bit domain. Doesn't hurt, though.
You're right that using the SPDIF inputs prevents input clipping, but it's to do with the ADCs being before a variable analog trim/gain stage rather than the type of DSP. Those trims on the Pioneer digital DJMs are analog controls when using the analog inputs, and digital domain when using the digital inputs. EQs and everything further down are digital domain for everything, obviously. That said, the DSP stage also cannot be clipped regardless of the input due to the floating point math. Pioneer added those Clip LEDs because the channel meters below don't actually represent the input stage but the DSP section. You're right that the outputs can be clipped, since they become fixed point with a real, finite scale. The Clip LED on the master, though, is just an extension of the master meter that previously served its purpose just fine. Seems they wanted to stick with a theme and keep it obvious.
The attenuation settings for the outputs, however, do not give you more headroom prior to the DJM output stages (sample depth/rate conversion, DACs, digital outs). All they're for is conforming the DJM outputs to outboard gear's input needs, nothing more. The max digital output level has always been strangely 5 or 6dB down from full scale, anyway.
I find it strange Pioneer still hasn't allowed for the master out volume knob to have unity at max, as some other brands have allowed in their settings. But sticking it at about 1:15 and putting a blue speakon cap and tape over it does the trick. You could just turn the master out even lower to give yourself more master out headroom, but there's nothing preventing the DJ from just crushing the DSP section even harder and getting to the same peaks as before on the outputs. You might as well just stick the knob at unity so the master out shows the same levels as the channel outs. Otherwise, if you're running the master out at max, unity on the upfaders becomes 7 instead of max on those. That was more intended for the when Pioneer still had the rotary option so those guys could run the mixer without fussing with the trims.
A compressor limiter is also not all it's cracked up to be in this kind of situation, either. It's one thing if you've got a rock band, analog sound board, and a guy to babysit the levels. Adding one there can be a nice safety for someone going heavy metal caveman and smashing an electric guitar. Compressors are very useful obviously for production purposes and absolutely essential for the output stages of power amplifiers. Without a limiter on an amp's output stage, you can get distortion peaks that are many multiples of the amp's rated power, since the rated power is usually just the max output below 1% THD. Without a limiter on an amp's internal output stage, the only thing preventing higher distorted outputs is the amp's power supply and the venue's circuit fuses that even will allow many amps more than they're rated for a few milliseconds. Some of these cheap mega amp power supplies lack power factor correction caps and could potentially try to draw nearly 100 amps if they were unlimited and distorting!
A digital DJ mixer, however, is already a brick wall peak limiting device. Unless you're running unprotected tweeters right up against their handling AND are confident your front-end source gear will never have issues (cables disconnecting, software glitches, etc) AND the content music never has any square wave-like aspects (good luck with that), having the limiter on does nothing advantageous except be more forgiving of stupid DJing habits by sounding better when they push the mixer too hard. That might be useful recording a one-off DJ mix in the studio where you want to smooth over mistakes and not ruin it, but in a live big-sound environment you're just inviting its abuse and that can spell death to woofers by heat as a result of crushed dynamics over normal crest factor of program content. Even if you don't cook your woofers, you're still incentivizing less musical dynamics that can make people think the sound system is poor. If the DJ clips overtly, everyone knows whose fault that is. Whether they trigger a compressor limiter or hard clip digitally, dynamics are crushing either way. Let it sound like shit when they clip and they'll do it less.
dsquareddan is right about this.
If you're running CDJs into a Digital mixer, you should be using the digital IO.
1. It avoids a step of ADC (which introduces noise and can introduce artifacts) followed by cables (which can but usually don't introduce RF noise and can act as a very very subtle low pass filter because of how the cables are built) followed by a DAC (which introduces noise and can introduce artifacts).
The ADC and DAC noise & artifacts are really subtle. CDJs supposedly use the same DACs as Bryston hi-fi CD players (which are pretty high end), and I can't imagine the DJM is using ADCs that are worse. They're probably not absolutely top of the line (Prism Sound, Dangerous, Lynx, etc.), but they're good. And you will not hear flaws in the converters at a DJ gig. So, that's largely academic. But, why introduce noise & flaws when you don't have to?
2. The big one is that a lot of modern tracks are mastered so hot that they cause intersample modulation distortion. You can tell if it's going to happen by running the tracks through an oversampling meter (there are a lot of them available for free), but unless there are features on the CDJs I don't know about, there's no way to avoid it except by keeping the signal digital through one more gain stage (which the mixer easily handles).
3. It's fewer cables to screw up.
4. It keeps the line inputs clear for other DJs using the same mixer that may need them (e.g., controller setup not using the DJM's sound card or other hardware like synths, samplers, etc., maybe if someon is using a DVS box that the mixer can't replace for some reason).
If you're at a festival with a sound guy, just let him do his thing as long as you can play your set. But, if you're actually running sound, the digital IO is a better choice.
Before anyone challenges me on the cables...this is not the audiophile monster cable vs. coat hanger thing. I've heard it most obviously comparing George L guitar cables to pretty much any regular guitar cable. The George Ls just flat-out sound brighter, and you'd have to be basically deaf to miss it. That doesn't, however, mean that they're better....I don't like the brighter sound and compensated for it with the tone controls on the guitar or the amp back when I owned a few. But, it's very clearly different. All single-ended cables will exhibit this effect to a degree, though how much it affects things depends a lot on the level of the signal (mic, instrument, line, speaker), the length of the cable, and how the cable was built.
It happens because single ended cables literally are a resistor (nothing transmits electricity perfectly) and a capacitor (a hot and ground near each other separated by an insulator), which is exactly how you make an analog low pass filter. Fortunately, they're crappy low pass filters. But, it still happens.
They're also crappy antennas because, again, that's how you build antennas. It's easiest to hear that with a long, unbalanced mic cable. You have to apply so much more gain that the radio is often audible after the preamp.
That's why analog, single-ended cable runs are supposed to be short. It minimizes all of those effects.
Using a 2-foot or so cable like you'd use to connect a CDJ to a DJM, neither effect is drastic. But at least in an academic context, it's there. And if you can avoid it by using hardware that's already there, why not?

I have to disagree with point 2. Overly-hot masters (above -3dBFS) contribute to intersample clipping within the digital domain during aggressive DSP post-processing by the end user. It's unlikely, though possible, that the CDJs have this issue during their master tempo processing, which is the only processing that occurs on them when activated and when the pitch is not on zero. Not sure what DSP architecture newer Pioneers use, but I think even old Denon media players used 32bit float, though some of those had a lot of effects, too. If CDJs did have such an issue, though, it would affect a CDJ's output equally regardless of whether a SPDIF connector was used or analog RCAs, since SPDIF is not floating point and has just as much a hard clip limit as the DACs have once you bother processing the signal at all.
FYI: Pioneer CDJs are bit-perfect over the SPDIF when master tempo is off or pitch is at zero and no DSP processing occurs. Now, as I said previously, there is absolutely a utility in avoiding clipping on the ADC end of the mixer by going digital, especially considering Pioneers' variable-gain-trim inputs into those ADCs and the digital domain meters that are of limited usefulness... to say nothing of the obvious incontrovertible free sonic advantages (however subtle they may be for some people) or cable management convenience you mention.
Still, I am curious if some media players have issues with intersample clipping, especially those with a lot more processing and at budget prices. I'm also reminded by your comment of the fact that Pioneer drops its digital signals on the digital DJMs by about -5dBFS prior to the fixed point stages of the sample rate converter & SPDIF and the DAC. Perhaps that is to prevent intersample distortion in that last 3dB of headroom, not that DJs should be utilizing that headroom. I've wondered about that decision.
Last edited by Reticuli; 01-30-2018 at 01:53 PM.
The problem is that intersample peaks clip the DAC itself.
I believe they are using floating point math internally, which means the DSP happening inside the CDJ shouldn't cause intersample peaks as long as they do something sane before the output. The only reason to use floating point math in that instance is for virtually limitless dynamic range, and it should be easy for them to figure out if the timestretching algorithm would cause an increase in gain and ajust for it. So, that's a moot point.
The DAC itself is fixed point, just like every other DAC. That's where the clipping happens.
If you have a track that runs all the way up to 0dBFS (but isn't clipped itself), transfer it digitally (zero gain), then turn it down to have enough headroom before it hits a DAC, you prevent the intersample peaks.
Which is exactly what happens if you run digital into the DJM and then don't hammer it's outputs.
As long as they didn't do anything stupid, the processing inside the CDJ should be virtually meaningless, at least in this regard.

The San Diego Chargers will have to get by without starting tight end Ladarius Green in week three, as Antonio Gates' replacement has been ruled out due to a concussion issue. Green sustained his second concussion in as many weeks earlier this week and was highly questionable to take the field against the Minnesota Vikings all week. The team finally officially ruled him out on Sunday morning.
With Green out, the Bolts will likely turn to shifty running back Danny Woodhead and slot man Stevie Johnson for more looks in the passing game, while starters Keenan Allen and Malcom Floyd can also expect to be a little more involved.
Fantasy Insight
San Diego doesn't really have an option behind Green at tight end, so this news trickles down to Woodhead and Johnson more than anyone else. Already solid PPR options even with a healthy Green on the field, both of these guys are strong options across the board in fantasy football this week. They're especially fun tries in daily fantasy football, where they're dirt cheap in salary cap games. Keenan Allen also has a chance to bounce back from his major dud performance of a week ago.

The Kickeez recoil pad works great.
The Ross muzzle brake is fantastic.
20" barrel keeps the blast away
The CCWS has the rifle ejecting the brass about 2 feet away. The cases just kinda pop out reliably instead of being ejected into a neighboring county.
I have to shoot the rifle a few more times to decide if I want to build a recoilless stock like Gunny's. The recoil right now very controllable and kicks much less than my 358 Winchester. But my rifle is right around 9lbs scoped so I don't know if I want to add more weight in the form of a recoil reducer in the buttstock. If I choose not to, I'll just fill it with a 2 part urethane foam.
Thanks again for everyone's help, the advice has been great.

A bench headed by Justice Aftab Alam said that it would hear his plea along with the CBI`s petition seeking cancellation of Shah`s bail in the Sohrabuddin case.
Shah, who was directed by the apex court to leave the state during the pendency of the trial in Sohrabuddin fake encounter case, had yesterday approached the apex court saying living outside his home state for the last 16 months has
caused "irreparable hardship" to him and his family members.
The apex court had on October 30, 2010, directed Shah to leave the state and ordered him to stay out till further order.
Pleading with the apex court to modify its order, Shah said, "He will suffer irreparable injury and hardship if an appropriate order to the effect of modification of order of October 30, 2010, is not made."
"The applicant has remained outside his own state for approximately 16 months resulting into a situation where one of the largest assembly constituencies in the country, which has reposed faith in the applicant since four consecutive
terms, is deprived of its representatives," he said.
Shah, a close aide of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, was arrested by CBI on July 25, 2010, and he had spent over three months in Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad.

Washington County Circuit Judge Kennedy Boone Tuesday sentenced a 39-year-old Hagerstown man to serve five years in prison for sexually assaulting his deaf daughter on several occasions in 1999.
The man, whose name is being withheld to protect the identity of his 13-year-old daughter, pleaded guilty to a third-degree sex offense, Boone said in a telephone interview.
The sentence was the maximum 10-year sentence for third-degree sex offense, but Boone said he suspended five years.
Boone said he ordered that the man be placed on supervised probation for 18 months after his release from prison and that he register as a sex offender.
Remaining charges including child abuse, a second-degree sex offense, and second-degree assault were dropped in exchange for the plea, according to court records.

We always endeavour to offer no nonsense advice, inspiration and planning ideas for your wedding across every available platform, be that via the blog or our frequently updated social media accounts. Sometimes it can be quite restrictive, trying to cover everything we want to share in an instagram caption or a tweet, so it made perfect sense for us to start our very own Podcast series!
Style Me Pretty Closing – The Original Wedding Blog
When news broke of the imminent closure of Style Me Pretty myself and the team were both shocked and saddened. It's not for us to speculate publicly the reasons behind the decision, becoming part of a corporate giant such as Oath following various purchases and mergers by the likes of Verizon, Yahoo and AOL (who purchased SMP back in 2012) means that Style Me Pretty would constantly be under scrutiny with regards their profitability, with continual comparisons to all of the other media platforms owned by Verizon.
One thing I can say for sure is if it wasn't for Style Me Pretty, Rock My Wedding would not exist.
Rock My Wedding The Book – It's Launch Day!
The 9th of February has been a significant date for the team for many months now. The day our book "Your Day Your Way" officially launches, we are so excited to see that so many of you have already pre-ordered, as I type we are already on the Amazon Bestsellers list – number 1 in Fashion!
Considering Your Wedding Fashion? You Need to Shop HERE!
When my husband and I were planning our wedding we made a trip to Bicester Village, a designer shopping outlet near Oxford. Our only regret was that we hadn't visited sooner, we couldn't believe the significant savings that we could have made on amazing fashion and beautiful accessories.
All I Want For Christmas Is You
We are loving listening to Mariah on repeat whilst enjoying a glass of Prosecco and seemingly being unable to keep our hands out of the Quality Street tin. I guess it's well and truly nearly Christmas (6 more sleeps!) and if you haven't yet bought a gift for your engaged friend or indeed yourself then how about pre-ordering the Rock My Wedding book "Your Day Your Way" written by our founder Charlotte O'Shea?
Rock My Wedding – The Book
When we launched Rock My Wedding in September 2009 the blog certainly looked very different to how it does now.
We had a rather fetching blue polka dot backdrop and basic branding that makes me cringe (and want to erase it from my memory forever). But you can't forget where or what you came from. Those early days were crazy, incredibly hard work and a rollercoaster adventure of learning from our mistakes and taking risks the more often than not, have paid off.
Sarah & George
Oh my gosh this pre wedding shoot in the Peak District is SO romantic. That opening portrait captured by Deborah Grace Photography of our gorgeous couple kissing in the rain is amazing, and super HOT to boot.
They look utterly at ease laying in the fields, drinking in the views and embracing one another. Their love and happiness literally radiates out of each image, and you won't be able to resist smiling and swooning along with them.
If you want to see more of this gorgeous couple, you NEED to pop back to the blog this afternoon when we'll be sharing their gorgeous at-home marquee wedding, full of even more smiles, prettiness and love.
Hannah & Matt
I am such a huge fan of blush at the moment. If you're a regular reader of Sister blog Rock My Style you'll know that I have my eye on a blush sofa. I've just got to convince the husband. Anyway I digress. It's a real treat to see this blush, White by Vera Wang bridal gown gracing our pages. The layers of tulle and appliqué bustle are heavenly. It goes without saying that Bride Hannah looks absolutely AMAZING.
The outdoor ceremony in the woods adds to their fairytale story with humble BBQ, ales and ice-cream food trucks to dig into. If you like this relax approach too, you should definitely check out our Love Lust List street food & drinks post for more suppliers in your area.
April & Sebastian
True story, the amazing floral arch by All For Love florist, outside St Jame's church in Nottinghill stopped A List celebrities Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner in their tracks it was so immense.
If you haven't pinned it yet. Why on earth not?! M&J Photography captured all the floral details of each bloom for you. Including some of my favourite flowers, Peonies, Snowflake Spray Roses, Hydrangea, Gypsophila, Avalanche Roses, all in crisp shades of white, and all looking absolutely fabulous next to Soft Eucalyptus, Seasonal English Foliage and Silver SenecioI greenery.
The reception then took place at Chiswick House and Gardens, giving a chic country edge to this elegant city wedding. With more dreamy sunset portraits to pore over and fabulous fashion to admire, you'll be book marking this for a second, third and forth look it's so stunning.

Our hearts are heavy as we said goodbye....

A loving tribute to two beloved dogs
Pippin was 7 years old when we adopted him. I remember he cried the entire 1 1/2 hour trip home from the fosters.
He never really enjoyed riding in the car.
Pip was a shy, quiet, atypical Brittany. He did not like being outside, had a passing interest in chipmunks and never ever pulled on the leash.
To build his confidence we did obedience classses and he went all the way to AKC good citizenship level.
At 9 yrs. he developed laryngeal paralysis and after two failed tie backs, we opted for a tracheostomy. He had another 5 1/2 yrs before we lost him to a seizure in March of 2015. I do not think a sweeter dog ever existed.
In June of 2015 , enter Saylor, age 12, and full of Brittany energy, confidence and love. Saylor was home from day one. No adjustment period necessary. He was ours and we were his. I must admit, however, that I am his "MOM".
You would never guess his age. He runs around the beach, does his job of pulling on the leash when we walk, and jumps in the air to go for a ride in the car. He loves going for rides. He is the best friend and companion anyone could want.
Saylor will be 15 yrs. old in April and, until recently, he has been in the best of health.
A few months ago I noticed a swelling in his jaw. Thinking it was a bad tooth, I went to the vet to have his teeth cleaned and to removed whatever tooth was the problem.
Unfortunately the swelling is a cancerous mass. We learned this for sure when Saylor had a mouth bleed.
To remove this thing, Saylor would have to have major surgery to remove his bottom jaw. With his age, a stage 3 heart murmur, and the fact that the tissues would not heal because it is cancer, we are leaving him in peace. At 14 yrs and 10 mos., he wants for nothing. My husband and I, however, want many more years with this smart, funny, ever loving boy.

War and Magic cheats 2018
Adds a variety of top-level summons planned to broaden the options readily available in the endgame as well as make schools of magic other than Fatality and Astral more rewarding at that stage. Well, fret not dear veterinarians, since Optimum Level 60 For Generals (my benefits Overall Warhammer's mods are so unoriginally called) ups that top by a stonking 100%, meaning your longest-serving team could treat their skill trees to their heart's web content through the intervening degrees.
This acts as the primary mode of navigating faster prior to you bring up to a dock and explore the realm or area you remain in. The world effortlessly strings with each other perfectly, one of the very best components of the video game as well as exactly how Kratos and also Atreus check out each of these stunning environments makes the trip beneficial.
War and Magic guide and hack Gold
Commonly, God of War's barbarous antihero, Kratos, has actually long been associated with cut heads and also arm or legs as well as all kind of other delirious scaries visited upon his enemies. The real-life horrors she states fold into a smooth, dream-like movie script that does not require a great deal of on-screen blood as well as gore to define just what's going on. In spite of its severe cruelty, Komona's tale is told with good delicacy as well as get, if those terms could be put on such a tale, but all the same preventing the normal voyeuristic, colonialist point of view.
War and Magic hack 2018
This summer, my children and I have actually been taking breaks by playing card video games. He began speaking about these concepts with Aaron Cloutier and also Jennifer Hinton at the MAGIC Center, and then used an IGM research workshop program in the autumn of 2015 to assist build the video game (and also discover video game manufacturing), with collaboration and assistance from MAGIC Spell Studios.
Given the Sorcerer typically does not acquire Metamagic alternatives till 3rd degree but I feel that if we up switch around Power Surge and grant that as a 2nd-level this content function coupled with Tactical Wit, it provides the Wizard some actual incentives in the very early degrees while still offering something impactful later down their profession.

While the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ are widely expected to be officially unveiled at the Unpacked event taking place on August 13, now a new leak is confirming their names. Furthermore, both phones are going to be sold by Verizon, perhaps unsurprisingly.
We know all this thanks to the image you can see below, which is purported to be an upcoming inventory listing from Costco.
That's not all it reveals, though. There is going to be a Droid flagship this year too, it turns out, and it will be called Droid Turbo 2. Even if this isn't mentioned in the listing, there's no reason to think any company other than Motorola is producing it.
No specs have been outed this time around, so the Droid Turbo 2 remains a bit of mystery in this regard. That said, the Note 5 and S6 edge+ have been leaked an incredible amount of times already, so there really is little we don't already know about them.
It looks like Costco is going to be offering Verizon's version of the Note 5 in black and white with 32GB of storage, while the S6 edge+ will also be stocked in its 64GB iteration, in the same color versions. Of course there could be more hues and storage versions to come, or perhaps this retailer will only sell a subset of what will be available from day one.
It's unclear when any of these handsets will actually be in stores, but from this point on it's probably just a matter of weeks.
very useful information and nice website
this is wowww...
Lack of removeable battery is more annoying. I don't care about SD card.

The Beulah Project "Empowering people and communities through health education, arts, media and law." Copyright 2018
Kelvin De'Marcus Allen
is the Founder and Executive Director of The Beulah Project. He is an accomplished writer, producer and documentary filmmaker with numerous articles and essays to his credit.

focuses on proven tips and techniques to help young writers get started. In 1992, Allen's video documentary "Imagine If" won the Connecticut Higher Education Telecommunications Association's Screening Room Award for entertainment programming.

Author John Grisham's good friend, novelist Stephen King, once gave what Mr. Grisham considers some very sound advice about selling a best-selling book to the movie industry.
"When you deal with Hollywood," Mr. King told him, "get all the money you can up front."
Mr. Grisham has followed that advice well, regularly getting seven-figure sums for such books as "The Pelican Brief" and "The Chamber," but has added a twist of his own: "Kiss it goodbye."
That's just so you won't feel bitter when the movie turns out to be something quite different from the book, says Mr. Grisham, which it often does.
