Pt England Celebrities Comment On The Earthquake In Auckland
The first ever earthquake hits Auckland. It definitely was a surprise to me and my family. There was two earthquake approximately between 4:00-4:10 pm. The magnitude was 3.1 and 3.9. It was also 6km and 5 km deep. As you can see Brooklyn did not feel a thing but Shoal and I definitely felt the 3.9 shake. It says that it came from Mt Motutapu. Although it was a mini shake it also says that that might be a sign for more to come. This is definitely a time for us to prepare and remember that the people in Christchurch have experienced this 100 times or more.

Hello Vivienne,ReplyDelete
I really like your post about the earthquake but the funny thing is that I didn't even feel anything, Not a thing. I wasn't asleep, I wasn't doing anything, I just didn't feel anything but I have a question to ask. Was it a scary feeling?
Hello Hueloata,Delete
Thank you for commenting on my blog. Anyway, the answer to your question is no, not really. At first it came as a shock but then I realised it was quite fun. I also had to remember about the people in Christchurch. They experienced this lots of time and even bigger quakes. Anyway, thank you again and have a nice day!!!

Have you ever wondered how much Uber makes from drivers? It's difficult to know exactly how much Uber makes in profit vs. drivers' profits, but senior RSG contributor Will Preston tackles this challenging question and shares his analysis below.
I made a little over $200 driving 400 miles last weekend in about 12 hours of driving. But the question I wanted to answer is how much did I actually make – and how much did Uber make – after we take all expenses into consideration.
How much Uber makes from you will depend on when and where you drive, and how much you make in tips will also factor in to your calculations. For the purposes of this article, I'll break down some key concepts to understand before getting into the spreadsheet I created to determine how much money Uber makes off of my driving. I've included a copy of the spreadsheet for you to run your numbers as well – let us know what you come up with in the comments.

He came in today, saying that he is riding a bike for the first time in his life. Over the weekend rode all around Lake Cunningham. This boy is not SPD or spectrum child, but lower functioning in school performance and significant motor problems (gross and fine).
He has left side weakness and very poor tongue control, never being able to pucker his lips, many articulation error, never could move his tongue around in his mouth. Very limited diet as can't chew or swallow so many foods. Told the mom tonight that I have hope all this will change.
Since I have been working on tongue and lip control, he is now able to pucker his lips to blow, can move his tongue to the weak side, put the tongue tip on the roof of his mouth (so can now say his own name and words starting with "T" and "Th". He has never been able to do this before.
He is such a hard worker and the mouth work is more exhausting for him than running the mile at school in 13 minutes (which is very hard for him). He sweats bullets every time we work in his mouth, but not from anxiety, just sheer hard work. This boy is such a pleasure to work with, so highly motivated. The first session I met him (a few months back) I wasn't sure if I'd be able to help him much given his age and that he's already had several years of school based OT. His handwriting is now legible for the first time in his life!"
They were in a Russian orphanage until 2 and 1/2 years. I have seen him for 3 years. He's a spectrum child who had no desire for interaction with others and would tend to be aggressive if children approached him.
I suspected a problem with his vision contributing to his resistance for closeness with parents and contributing to handwriting difficulties. His Mom got him tested for vision therapy. He had problems with convergence. With corrective lenses, not vision therapy, he started wanting to be cuddled. With much work at Simoneon Center his motor skills are now just about one year behind, but not more. His motor planning ability has skyrocketed!
His postural control is so good now, he no longer squirms around in his chair nor in constant motion when standing. His writing is gorgeous.
He used to take 3 hours to work on his homework. Now he can't wait to get home to do it, enjoying it so much. His mom called chuckling, saying she would have never believed it, but he's highly motivated to write stories now and can't get enough of this either.
This child couldn't put a thought together to save his life last year. His strength is maintaining (unusual for spectrum kids without regular, rigorous input from PT or OT or family). He's doing all of the right stuff everyday now for himself.
He wants friends now for the first time and is seeking them out, even understanding much of others perspective. He is only seeing me 1x per month now for monitoring since November.

Police in two counties are looking for a woman who robbed a Willingboro bank Tuesday morning and struck again about an hour later at a bank in Audubon, Camden County.
The Willingboro robbery happened at 8:55 a.m. at the Beneficial Bank on Beverly-Rancocas Road.
The Audubon heist occurred at 9:45 a.m. at the Susquehanna Bank on the White Horse Pike.
In both robberies, a light-skinned black woman wearing a light-blue raincoat and a dark-blue hat passed a note to a teller demanding money and stating she was armed with a weapon.
No weapon was displayed in either incident, and no injuries were reported.
The woman left both banks with an undisclosed amount of cash to a waiting getaway car described as tan or silver, possibly a Buick or Pontiac with a partial license plate of �X88.� A male may have been driving the vehicle, according to police.
The Beneficial Bank was closed for most of the morning while officers and detectives investigated. The FBI also was notified, police said.
Surveillance photographs of the woman inside the Audubon bank were released to the media by the Camden County Prosecutor�s Office. Anyone with information about her identity is asked to call 911.
The Willingboro holdup is believed to be the third bank robbery in Burlington County this year.
The first occurred in April at the PNC Bank inside the ShopRite supermarket on Route 70 in Evesham. A man pointed a gun at a teller and escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The second was in May at the Wells Fargo Bank on Route 130 in Willingboro and involved a man who entered the bank and announced he was going to rob it. He left with cash but was arrested a short time later at the nearby Beverly Court Motel on Route 130.

Supermarkets in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom sell meat from uncastrated pigs (boars). In other European countries, supermarkets and meat processing companies are still reticent about purchasing this meat. Not everyone is convinced that the risk of boar taint can be managed using good quality control. However, a preventative detection method has been developed and is proving its worth in practice: the human nose.A�
Dr C.P.A. (Coen) van Wagenberg, a researcher at LEI Wageningen University and Research Centre, has developed a detection method for tracing pigs that suffer from boar taint. Research has revealed that, on average, four percent of uncastrated pigs exude the smell. The method developed should prevent this meat reaching consumers. Another requirement is that detecting meat with boar taint should be practical for slaughterhouses. To this end, Van Wagenberg cooperated closely and successfully with the industry. The human nose method has already proven effective in practice.
Human nose
The principle behind the human nose method is simple. Boar taint resides in fat and becomes apparent after heating. The neck fat of every boar on the slaughter line is therefore heated using a gas burner and smelled to see whether boar taint develops. Some 1.5 million pigs have already been tested using this method. All the data acquired using the human nose method is collected and analysed. Van Wagenberg: "The most important thing is that the system has to be reliable. Only then will confidence in the system increase. Furthermore, we would like to use the data to be able to provide good feedback to pig farmers. Using this information we may be able to give the latter information that will stimulate them to already start implementing measures aimed at preventing boar taint."
The data collected on the 1.5 million pigs in the Netherlands using the human nose method is in line with prior research data. Approximately 4% of boars suffer from boar taint. This percentage was also borne out by experiences in Germany. It has also been demonstrated that major differences can exist between boars from different farms. "We hope to be able to discover the reason behind these raised frequencies by analysing this data and feeding this back to the pig farms concerned." According to Van Wagenberg it is already clear that genetics and feed can, in any case, be major influences.
Golden standard
In order to determine when a smell should be earmarked as boar taint, researchers took the perceptions and experiences of consumers as their point of departure. "Consumers are the gold standard," so says Van Wagenberg. "A detection method should be able to identify those boars the meat of which consumers think smells unacceptable.a�? Slaughterhouse staff who carry out detection are trained to recognise these boars. The staff's results are recorded and continuously analysed. According to Van Wagenberg this is necessary in order to immediately zoom in on any possible deviations. "If the slaughterhouse quickly becomes aware of a member of staff generating deviant results, it can act immediately to reduce the risk of meat with boar taint reaching consumers. For example, by making the member of staff re-take the training course."
Alternatives in Europe
Good detection methods are also being sought in other European countries. Automating the checking process is being studied for instance. However, so far no alternative is available because no technology has yet been developed that represents consumer perception. France and Spain are conducting pilots with the human nose. The latter has already been incorporated into the protocol of the German QS quality system. Talks are underway with sector parties concerning its introduction into the Dutch IKB system. European research has shown that stopping castration in the EU is an irreversible process. In any case, boar taint can be managed using the careful implementation of the detection method. Van Wagenberg: "Supermarkets and the meat processing industry quite understandably want good quality meat. The human nose has proven reliable. This will, ultimately, make buyers confident that quality is safeguarded."

Still on the subject of bird senses in my recent blog Homing Instinct in Birds – How do they do it? this follows a White-tailed Eagle's spotting success as it is launched from the top of the Burj Khalifa, at 830m (2,722ft) the world's tallest man-made construction. The bird astonishingly sees her/his handler and makes straight for him. We see this from a camera mounted on the birds back. The last part as the bird dives the last few hundred metres is wonderful.
I found this, courtesy of a friend in British Columbia, at http://www.flixxy.com/world-record-eagle-flight-from-worlds-tallest-building.htm?utm_source=nl at Flixxy.com
The caption reads:
An imperial eagle named Darshan captured phenomenal views of the capital of the United Arab Emirates while taking cues from his trainer on the ground. The eagle flight was arranged by the nature conservation group Freedom Conservation with the purpose of drawing attention to eagle conservation. This white-tailed eagle has been critically endangered for the last 50 years. With a height of 2,722 feet (830 m), the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is currently the world's tallest building. A bird's eye view is the view of one who is so high up as to not focus on the petty or ugly details of the world. This eagle sees all the way that it should be seen, as perfectly beautiful. Camera: Sony ActionCam Mini
The last two sentences could be re-drafted, but the message is clear. Interested though that the caption claims that the White-tailed Eagle (the video doesn't show it clearly but it certainly looks like a White-tailed Eagle) is critically endangered. According to Wikipedia, always a good conservation status source, the White-tailed Eagle is 'Least Concern'. Maybe in some parts of the world it is critically endangered but certainly not in my patch in winter, see pix below taken in November 2015 near Almaty in Kazakhstan. Over two hundred birds in the area that day. OK, I know, I'm just lucky!
That's not to say that these exceptional raptors, and all others, shouldn't be protected. They most definitely should be protected and cherished. Always a thrill to watch these huge raptors.

In the past year, new Director of the Center for Research and Advanced Studies (CRAS) Sandra Mehl has been changing the way Richter Grants are allocated to students.
During former Director of the CRAS Stephen Bailey's time in the position, he was able to "pre-award," as Mehl said, money to students using the next year's budget before he received the next year's budget. This was made possible because of his relationship with the previous program officer of the Richter trust, who retired at the same time as Bailey.
Now, Mehl is working with a different program officer.
"I had to go back to original award documents and start from basics," Mehl said. "My program officer is much more a nuts and bolts person."
Mehl made clear that Bailey "was completely within his rights" to allocate money before funding came through to Knox.
"He just said that he wanted flexibility," Mehl said. "I wouldn't be comfortable doing it that way."
While students might think, because of Mehl being less flexible with the same amount of funding, that CRAS has run out of money earlier in the academic year than usual, that is not exactly the case.
"I've started to be a bit more administrative," she said. Mehl has spent a lot of her energy creating a detailed recordkeeping system. By doing this, she is able to share more detailed information with the administration, which she said is going to earn her additional funding.
What's more, because Mehl is not able to use funding by pre-awarding it to students in the way that Bailey did, President Roger Taylor helped CRAS by granting an additional $5,000. This money comes from Taylor's discretionary fund provided by donations by Bud Potter, '63, and Mary Joe Potter, '62.
Mehl said she wants to use this funding to reconsider applications, starting with ones submitted in April, who she had to turn away because of insufficient funding.
"I know I seem like the bad guy behind the desk," Mehl said, "but I'm using the same amounts that Steve put on paper as the limits."
In the future, Mehl wants to further increase the transparency of CRAS funding and also have poster presentations during Homecoming weekend 2011, so current students can present to alumni the ways in which they are utilizing Knox's resources.
"You guys are doing so much more than what students at other schools do," she said.

Alexander McQueen has been hit with yet another discrimination lawsuit — this time from Christopher Policard and Duane Davis, both African-American employees at the brand's Madison Avenue store, who jointly claim that the company has "engaged in systematic racism against Kering's African-American employees" and that it "systematically rejects African-American job applicants who seek positions on the sales floor where they can be seen by customers or positions where they might have authority over white employees, relegating the few African Americans who are hired to menial positions behind the scenes." They filed their complaint Thursday with the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of Bronx, which names Kering Americas Inc., Alexander McQueen Trading and Ltd., along with four managers or supervisors as defendants.

According to court documents obtained by Fashionista, Policard and Davis made formal complaints to their supervisors on two separate occasions — Sept. 17 and Nov. 18 — regarding discriminatory treatment. The two claim that the company investigated the matter "in a perfunctory and superficial manner" and that instead of responding with "corrective action, Defendants embarked upon a course of action designed to denigrate, punish and retaliate against them for making their complaint, intimidate them into withdrawing it or force them to leave the company."
The complaint goes on to list the various ways in which they've been discriminated against, including: being falsely accused of theft without evidence; being "invasively" screened for theft in front of employees and customers, unlike non-African American employees, who were subjected to screening either privately or in a less invasive manner; being "laughed at" for bringing up discrimination; being denied rights under employment practices and procedures; and performing heavy labor and "other menial, demeaning tasks that white employees are not asked to deal with."
"This lawsuit is brought not only to remedy the harm caused to our clients but to send a message to the Defendants and the entire retail industry that no level of discrimination will be tolerated by the African American Community," said attorney Eric Baum, who is representing Policard and Davis, in a statement.
A representative for Alexander McQueen said the following: "We (Alexander McQueen and Kering) take these allegations very seriously and are investigating, however, we don't comment on current litigations."
Sadly, this isn't the first time the British luxury brand has come under fire for racial discrimination of store employees. Back in 2013, Othman Ibela, a security guard working at the Alexander McQueen Meatpacking District store, filed a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claiming fellow employees taunted him with racially insensitive jokes. The same year, a Hispanic saleswoman who had worked in the same store filed a similar suit, claiming that her supervisors had hurled insults like "burrito face" and "goya princess" at her.

6 high-paying Cannabis Jobs in legal cannabis industry
The cannabis business is developing rapidly and similarly as fast increasing more extensive societal acknowledgment. In that capacity, more individuals are taking a gander at the cannabis business as a vocation decision. And this is the big opportunity for new opening of Cannabis Jobs. A portion of the occupations are minimal strange, however, that is most likely what draws numerous laborers inspired by cannabis employments. Regardless of whether they worked with pot operating at a profit showcase or simply need a contrasting option to the standard desk area work, thousands are attempting to get in.
There are sites with cannabis work postings like Cannajobs and 420careers. Medicinal cannabis conveyance organization GreenRush held an occupation reasonable in California in April; 2,700 individuals went to and 200 employments were filled. Another occasion is anticipated November 10.
You may know how to get a job in Cannabis Industry. So, here we are going to discuss the Best jobs in Cannabis industry.
- Cannabis Sales Representative
Cannabis Sales representative works simply like representatives in some other industry. These sales representatives are in charge of going to stores and dispensaries and manufacturing business connections among them and producers. They should be learned about all parts of the business — from the items themselves to any pertinent controls. A critical level of a business agent's pay originates from a commission in a conventional industry. Also, there's no reason the lawful cannabis industry ought to be any unique. There is incredible cash making potential here for the capable laborer.
- Store Managers
Like any retail operation, a restorative dispensary or recreational outlet needs a chief. These workers can do, particularly in gainful stores. At least, they can win $75,000 a year and many get a reward over that in light of the store's deals. When you think about that as some stores in California have offers of $3 million to $6 million a year, while some San Francisco Bay region stores do $7 million to $10 million a year, that reward can be really great. Many get excursion pay and medical coverage simply like a customary employment. Chiefs can likewise climb the green stepping stool and wind up regulating a few areas.
- Extraction Technician
The vast majority just consider cannabis in the plant shape, however weed separates are a developing side of the business, adding up to 40% of offers at a few stores. These "concentrate craftsmen" have a special arrangement of aptitudes. Peterson said huge numbers of the general population he enlists for this occupation have PhD's. They can procure among $75,000 and $125,000 a year. A few states don't care for individuals smoking pot for medicinal purposes and like the province of New York have just authorized therapeutic marijuana in the concentrate frame. While there are costly machines that do the real extraction, it requires a man with the learning and experience to ensure the item being conveyed to a patient or client is precisely what it is. Consistency and quality are the names of the diversion.
- Cannabis Consultant
Counseling is high paying profession way, and the cannabis business is no special case. Cannabis specialists can gain six figures by joining their skill in state and nearby cannabis controls with their experiences as legal advisors, bookkeepers or individuals who have worked in another limit in the marijuana business. They can enable organizations to locate a worthy area, acquire the licenses they have to open and exhort them on other lawful issues so they don't get fined or close down. They may likewise assist entrepreneurs with accounting and expense necessities, which can be particularly dubious, as cannabis is by and large a money just business, because of its wrongdoing at the government level.
- Bud Trimmers
This is the passage level occupation working with the plant. It has a tendency to be the most minimal paid employment in the business – a bud trimmer in California may make $12-$13 per 60 minutes. In Vegas where benefit employments are sought after, $13 an hour is the general wage. Some get paid by the pound and that can be rushed to $100-$200 a pound. In a medicinal dispensary, a trimmer brings the plant and with little scissors cuts the blossom from the stem. It's basic to just get what is required and not squander any of the plant. Everything is isolated and weighed. A monotonous occupation without a doubt, however, it beats working at McDonald's, and it's a chance to get in on the ground floor of the business and work your way up.
- The Owner
While owning a pot business sounds like a definitive counterculture move, it brings a pile of cerebral pains. Numerous proprietors say they don't make the millions that many individuals figure they do. There are lawful and keeping money migraines, and the administrative scene is always moving. The proprietors don't get the chance to assert a similar business conclusions that different entrepreneurs get, so the costs are high as can be. Numerous proprietors front a great many dollars for a considerable length of time before they ever get the chance to perceive any benefits. In any case, on the off chance that you think this industry is in its beginning times with years of development ahead, being a proprietor can even now be a sweet other option to the crush of a typical occupation.

The Roof of The Wicklow Mountains, Lugnaquila
Lugnaquila is the highest mountain in Ireland, outside of County Kerry, standing tall at 925m above sea level. Climbing this beast can be a real challenge as it has no marked trails and the top can be shrouded in mist. On top of that, it has steep cliffs and gradients of over 40% are to be climbed if you want to reach the top. If you would like to climb this mountain, be fully prepared. The mountains itself is a plateau mountain, this means that once you reach the top the gradient decreases drastically.
Preparation for the Hike
We wanted to climb this mountain for some time already, but the weather had not been in our favour. For us, this hike was a preparation for the hike we were going to do in June, climbing El Teide (look forward to this post soon!). We packed our hiking backpack with all the necessities for a day-long hike. Lugnaquila is located all the way in the southern edge of the Wicklow Mountains National Park so the drive there took us quite a while. Coming up on the mountain, we were impressed by the size. It was going to be a long way to the top.
Starting of the Journey to Lugnaquila
We got out of the car and put on our hiking boots. There were a few other cars parked next to us, it looked like there were already some people that started the journey to the top. The temperature was good for the hike, it was around 18°C with clear skies. We started off by walking across a small bridge and took a right turn following the river. There was a couple with a cosy looking tent wild camping in a small area protected by trees. It is legal to wild camping in the Wicklow Mountains as long as you clean up after yourselves. We look forward to doing that at some point. The first part of the hike was relatively flat, but we started getting warm and sweaty already. This path is quite easy to follow until you reach the valley Fraughan Rock Glen.
The Tough Part
After we reached the valley and were walking next to the river, the tough part started. The path fades away and turns into a rocky outline that has been eroded by the people climbing Lugnaquila. The calm river turns into a small waterfall, which you have to climb next to! The gradient here can reach 46% according to Strava. You quickly ascent from 300m to 500m in less than 1km. This part is definitely the hardest as we climbed on boulders and rocks finding the way to the top at the same time. After reaching the top of this waterfall, the land flattens slightly. It became more boggy and grassy also. From here you can have to keep heading west to end up on the plateau.
When we were climbing, the weather was exceptionally good and had no problems navigating. However, if there is some fog, mist or even rain or snow, navigating here is tough. There are steep drops on the northern and southern side of the plateau so be aware! We definitely recommend having a map, downloaded on your phone or offline. Google Maps is not good enough here, a better alternative is OpenStreetMap. It is a way more detailed map that contains many features.
The Plateau, the Top and the Descent
The plateau itself is per definition relatively flat. It provided some nice views, but our opinion is that the valley below is more beautiful than the view from the top. It might have been the abundance of flies that lifted up in the air with every step we took. After some walking, we could see the top of the mountain on the right. This provided us with some much-needed motivation to keep going as the flies were bothering us. On the west side of the mountain is a military artillery range, we could hear them firing. Then we reached the top, finally! However, we were already hiking for almost 3 hours so felt the need to continue. The descent was a long but relatively easy one, the valley comes in view once you reach the zigzag path. After a total hike of 5 hours and 30 minutes, we reached the bottom of the mountain. There was a nice waterfall next to the path and we refreshed ourselves with some nice cold water. We then had to walk the last part of the walk along the road, back to the car park. At this point, it was around 5 pm and the sun was burning. It took us half an hour to get back to the car where we took off our shoes and relaxed for a bit before driving back home.
More info about hiking Lugnaquila
If you want to do this hike please be well prepared, take plenty of water and let someone know where you are going to be. Please read up before attempting any tough hikes in the Wicklow Mountains. The total hike took us 6:23 h with 5:10 h of moving time and was 16.9 km long with a total elevation of 888 m.

Further Optimization of Production Facilities – SGL Group Closes Plant in Narni/Italy
• Closure is a necessary component of the Company's realignment and the SGL2015 cost savings program
• Redundancy scheme in preparation for approximately 120 jobs
Wiesbaden, February 13, 2014. SGL Group – The Carbon Company – today announced the closure of its Italian graphite electrodes plant in Narni (Umbria) and of the related administration office in Lainate. The closure is a component of the Company's global realignment strategy and the SGL2015 cost savings program.
The market for graphite electrodes, which are used in the recycling of scrap steel, has come under pressure due to unfavorable price developments and weak demand in particular. In the coming days, discussions with the unions about a redundancy scheme will be initiated and the wind-down of the site, which is home to approximately 120 jobs, will begin. Following the closure of the graphite electrodes plant in Lachute, Canada, SGL Group has now taken a further step towards optimizing its capacities across the Company, strengthening the Group's competitiveness and securing its cost position. SGL's global production network is committed to ensuring that the high quality of SGL's products and services will be maintained during the closure phase.
Focus on cost savings of Euro 150 million by 2015
The implementation of the SGL2015 cost savings program, which was launched in August 2013, is progressing according to plan. The Company has announced and, in many cases, already implemented numerous measures for the streamlining of its global production network and organizational structure as well as the optimization of its portfolio. As a result, SGL Group is confident that it will achieve its planned cost savings target of around Euro 150 million in total by the end of 2015.

These are all things that are sometimes introduced through the recording, production and mixing stages when making a record but are unwanted on the final release.
How do these things come about?
They can sprout from a number of areas during the record making process;
Prominent room modes in a recording space
Positioning and selection of microphones
Monitoring environment and the decisions that result during the mixing process.
But most commonly during the recording and production stages tracks are pieced together with a creative mind set, so often technical things like resonances in a room that may build up on a recording are overlooked. This is very forgivable as creative and unique recordings are the aim of the game. When producing, dividing attention between the technicalities and the creative task at hand can sometimes hinder the musical quality of the production.
This is why in mastering, the rooms accuracy and the two auditory organs on the side of an engineers head play a very important role to clean and polish the final product.
A practice commonly employed during a mastering session is corrective equalisation (sometimes referred to as surgical EQ). A dry explanation is that with a parametric or dynamic equaliser, a narrow bandwidth (high Q value) with a bell shape is placed over a ringing frequency and is attenuated.
However this post is more intended to discuss and show you a little more on how I approach this task. Enjoy.
In my working process, corrective EQ is applied for a few reasons;
1) No masters should ever be released with unintended ringing, resonances, humming, muddy low end or sibilance distracting a listener from the musical content.
2) Ringing and resonant frequencies can sometimes trigger the gain-reduction on compressors instead of the instruments transients, making the compression work against the music. By dipping these frequencies it allows me to produce more dynamic and loud masters without the mixes feel like they're being overworked by compression.
3) The most subtle of corrections can begin to open up a mix clearing up surrounding elements.
4) At times can create some definition and separation between the bass and kick drum when needed.
I only approach this process with a digital equaliser. Why? Because the digital realm facilitates much more accurate and narrow bandwidths commonly not found with analog equipment. Additionally, the switched/stepped potentiometers on my analog equipment don't offer me variable control over the frequency band I'm dipping. The frequency points on my analog equipment are pre-determined. This is why all my corrective EQ is done digitally.
Moving onto the actual application of equalising. In the chain, I typically sit two corrective EQs; one before my D-A conversion before it is compressed in the analog realm and another straight after my A-D conversion before it gets digitally compressed and limited. The reason for the two is I only ever attenuate a little bit off each equaliser at a time and I don't want to start effecting the tone of other instruments that share that same space by taking out a big chunk with a single EQ dipping 3db or more. This is very important because this is surgical, not creative. My goal is just to get rid of unwanted ringing or other noises and not begin to alter the tone of corresponding instruments in the given frequency range. When getting into the nitty gritty of a mix I make sure that nothing i'm doing surgically is effecting the intentions and tone of the mix.
Furthermore, all the corrective work is going on before it gets compressed in the analog domain as well as before it is limited in the digital domain. This is for the reason previously stated, that I don't want ringing/resonances effecting the compressors/limiters.
Digital equalisers I use for corrective/surgical purposes:
- Brainworx hybrid
- Brainworx dyn-EQ
- Brainworx digital-V2
- FabFilter pro-Q
This is an overview on one way I employ corrective EQ and why it is an important part of my process. There are a lot of other techniques and methods in how I work with corrective equalisation in mind when mastering, but I wanted to keep this post as short to the point as possible, and I am intending to write more on the topic in the future.
In my next instalment, I'll be discussing creative equalisation, techniques and its role in the mastering process.

We were celebrating May birthdays today and both Barb M and Cathy G brought cakes for us to share – and both of them brought their own version of a rhubarb cake. Both were yummy and most of us tried a slice of each – with whipped cream of course! Angel and Cathy G are celebrating birthdays this month.
It was quite a small crowd today if you don't count the drop-ins. Kathy P stopped in to see what we were busy at and perhaps looking for her missing blocks; Margie and Shirley H dropped in at lunch time. Shirley is looking for a ride to Vancouver for Quilt Canada – if you can help her out please contact her.
Sandy T has our mouths watering when she shared her Lemon Lasagne recipe – the recipe, not even the lasagne! And Barb M just found out you can make cookies with your hand mixer; she has always made cookies completely by hand. We laughed at that but then she told us someone in her family doubts that anyone knew you could make cookies without a mixer.
It was a miniature day today – the last one of the year. Sandra had prizes for us all (there were only five of us). We'll keep the current schedule of a meeting every second month.

Opportunities galore for Bass Coast tradies
Bass Coast Shire Council is encouraging local contractors to take advantage of employment opportunities on the horizon and apply for prequalification online as major building projects are set to begin across the Shire.
Last monthPremier of Victoria, The Honorable Daniel Andrews MP, announced a combined funding of $33.3 million towards the construction of the new Wonthaggi Secondary College campus and education precinct, the Wonthaggi Regional Highball Stadium, and the Cape Paterson Surf Life Saving Club.
In addition to these projects the Cowes Revitalisation projects are currently underway with construction happening throughout 2018, ensuring a massive boost in job opportunities for locals.
Bass Caost Mayor, Cr Pamela Rothfield, urges local builders to stay informed and register.
"These projects present an abundance of work opportunities across the shire and it's important that local contractors get on board,"Cr Rothfield said.
It is a requirement of state government funded projects that contractors and consultants register with the Victorian Government's Construction Supplier Register, before they apply to work on these large construction projects.
The register gives suppliers access to tender processes and supplier assessments to determine their eligibility.
"At the moment there's only a small number of Bass Coast builders prequalified through the scheme, so it's important that we get more local suppliers to register – it's such a great opportunity".
Prequalification does not automatically guarantee suppliers will be chosen for projects – but businesses can be selected from the register to compete for contracts.
Contractors and consultants can apply for prequalification online at dtf.vic.gov.au/csr

Has anyone heard of Elmo microphones? I was thinking about buying a second hand one cheap for recording acoustic guitar. I've just started recording my acoustic with a cheap/bad mic I found laying around. I can't afford to spend too much so I looked through the local buy/swap and found this below and was hoping someone had heard of them or maybe knows the style. I would be plugging into a little Presonus 96 interface. I do have a Sampson USB mic but it sounds bad when you turn it up and I want to utilise the interfaces drivers.
edit: I can't post links yet apparently. If you have the time the google search "gumtree elmo condenser microphone" brings it to the top ($50neg)

We've been looking at the ideas we have - about what we are, about what the world is, about what is reality...
Instead of leaving a vague idea in place to dictate our paradigm of reality, we've decided to overturn the rock, poke into the bushes with a stick, stir up the bees nest... we've decided to go where we generally don't like to go - into the unknown, into the darkness. We've determined that the only way to get to the bottom of it is to really get a look at the idea we have about what-we-are and see if it makes any sense.
Because otherwise we're just being carried around with the basic assumptions - our view of reality is dictated by this most basic belief in separation - separation means the idea that things exist of themselves, they come into existence independently.
So we must come to a conviction one way or another - this conviction is critical. On the one hand, instead of living with a vague undefined idea of yourself, go fully into the idea of separation - embrace it - find out that it's true and then there is no longer a need to seek wholeness or oneness. Because if this idea you have about yourself is true, then separation is true and spirituality is a fantasy, an interesting hobby but nothing more. If you can come to this conviction, then your search is over.
On the other hand, if you do poke into it and cannot confirm this idea of separation, of independent existences which come and go, then the conviction must be the other way. It's not adopting a new belief system - but maybe it's a conviction that the idea I have about myself is NOT true even if I don't know yet what I am. I can truly DOUBT this idea of separation, I can truly DOUBT the idea that what-I-am comes and goes, even if I cannot replace this idea with another one.
It is this doubt that is the spiritual fuse - once this is lit spirituality takes on a new dimension - a new flavor. It's no longer a hobby. It's a fire that burns up everything. My comfortable idea I have is ripped out and I'm left without anything to rest on - I must get to the bottom of it. I am willing to look at the possibility that I am the whole after all. I am willing to inquire truthfully into these ideas and completely discard what I find to be false.
This means we need something other than our existing belief system - we need something to point in the right direction. Most religions are trying to do this, however they are clouded with additional confusion which makes it difficult to see the underlying message. But even a walk in the park can be a pointer, a spiritual message. In fact just sitting here now at your computer, each experience, each sensation - eventually we will see that THIS is IT, right here and now.
Vedanta is another system - another pointer - another means of knowledge to come to know what you are. Vedanta simply provides an occasion for doubt - it questions what we think and provides other possibilities. It points out things which are undeniable and forces us into a corner - there may be a break in the paradigm of separate thing-ness and a realization that reality is not-two.
So through this, we come to realize that my existing ideas about what-I-am are dubious, doubtable, and something like Vedanta might be needed to point me in the right direction.
And ultimately we realize that we never went anywhere - we never needed to move one inch from where we are now, we never needed to become anything other than what we are now. We find that it was only our idea about what-we-are that was incorrect - nothing changed except the false fell away.

The Plight of the (Fictional) Liberal College President
The Devil and Webster depicts feminist campus leader struggling to deal with escalating student protest over tenure denial she knows (but can't explain in public) was justified.
Naomi Roth never set out to be a college president. A gender studies scholar at (fictional) Webster College, she finds herself placed on the search committee for a new president when she is drafted to successfully handle a campus controversy.
Roth is the central figure in The Devil and Webster, by Jean Hanff Korelitz, who has skewered academe before. She wrote Admission, which was turned into a film starring Tina Fey (with considerable change from the novel). And the world of elite college admissions -- Webster is a New England liberal arts college in the Amherst and Williams tradition -- continues to play a role in her work. Roth must steel herself when admissions decisions go out to deal with disappointed parents who have connections to the college.
As the story opens, one of the students in a women's residence hall announces his transgender status and identification as a man. Other women in the dormitory protest. "This is a case of male penetration of a designated women-only space," complains one. As the controversy becomes a national media sensation, Roth handles the press attention (and the transgender student opts to leave). Other search committee members see Roth's potential as an administrator, and she embraces the job. Still, her secretary -- inherited from her predecessor -- is able with a glance to shame her over not dressing or acting appropriately presidential.
The trouble for Roth begins when she notices students starting to camp out in the center of campus in a protest. Proud of the college's progressive ideals and actions, Roth wonders what students could possibly be protesting. "The college burned clean fuel and recycled every substance known to man, and Webster Food Services had even weeded out factory-farmed animals and genetically modified produce. What was getting them sufficiently worked up to forswear their beds and showers and sleep out?"
As a veteran of campus protests herself, Roth assumes she'll be sympathetic and is stunned that the students haven't come to see her to discuss what's on their minds -- so she seeks them out (including her daughter, a student and one of the protesters). She finds the issue upsetting the students is the denial of tenure to an anthropology professor popular with students, who note that he is a "professor of color." Roth tries hard to understand the students' motives, especially those of Omar Khayal, the Palestinian student who is the leader of the protest.
Roth knows why the professor was denied tenure. His skimpy publishing record is marred by plagiarism issues. And his popularity with students appears in part related to his ease in grading, as suggested by one student review: "Professor Gall is a smooth dude. I totes played World of Warcraft all semester and I still passed the final."
As president, Roth feels she can't reveal anything about Gall to protesting students or inquiring reporters, but she is convinced that the college did the right thing in denying tenure.
Indeed, the book constantly portrays the between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place reality of the life of a college president. Another student grievance is that Webster has canceled its study abroad options in Kenya and Vietnam. Roth actually wanted more students to go to those countries (over the oversubscribed Florence option) but only a handful chose those countries over several years, and one student came home with malaria, forcing Roth to deal with a potential lawsuit as a result. Students protesting don't much care about those details.
Via email, Korelitz responded to some questions about the novel.
Q: What prompted you to move from admissions to the college presidency as your point of perspective for the novel?
A: I didn't really consider it a move. For me, a novel is first and foremost about the story. In this case the story was about a confrontation between a woman who considers herself ideologically in line with her own younger self and an enigmatic student who appears to see her very differently, and who forces her to rethink who she is and what she actually believes. What happens when radicals grow up and actually occupy positions of power? That was the question the novel began to coalesce around. The admissions elements began to creep in as I wrote the novel -- I guess I haven't outgrown my own fascination with the process. (But neither has anyone else, so that's OK!)
Q: Do you think a Naomi Roth could rise through the ranks in academe today?
A: I don't see why not. Her academic credentials are solid. She's a well-liked teacher in the classroom and she strives to get along with everyone -- fellow faculty, administration, alumnae, students. She also has real affection for her adopted institution, Webster College. I was a faculty spouse at Princeton when Shirley Tilghman went from popular (and deeply respected) professor to member of the presidential search committee to president of the university. That seemed to go very smoothly, and she was a marvelous president.
Q: Did any particular protests inspire you?
A: My essential feeling is this: colleges are right to invite controversial speakers to campus, and members of the community are also right to peacefully protest, if that's what they want to do. An even better idea, though, would be to actually attend these events, listen to opposing viewpoints and vigorously challenge them. Education should not be about having one's positions unchallenged, or -- even worse -- never allowing other opinions to be aired in the first place. One of the reasons I have enjoyed living in academic communities and writing about academic communities is that I think of them as places where ideas come to meet one another. This is a good thing.
Q: A reader might think you have a cynical perspective on campus protests, given the facts that are clear to the reader of your novel (but not the fictional students). Do you think the Webster Dissent (as the student protest is called) is typical of the current state of campus protest?
A: I'm a little cynical about everything, not just the student protesters in The Devil and Webster. Another effect of living in proximity to a university (Princeton, where my husband has taught since 1987) is that however much things may be changing, they also remain the same. The students are eternally lovely, interesting, talented, curious … also ridiculous, adolescent, insufferable and petty. The trigger issues may change, but college students are also engaged in the process of growing up, leaving home and separating from Mom and Dad. How much of student protest comes from those utterly banal impulses, rather than heartfelt advocacy of a political cause? It's not a put-down, just an observation. We were exactly the same when we were in college!
Q: If this novel becomes a film, who would you recommend to play Naomi?
A: Believe it or not, this is the first time I've been asked or even thought about this question. Still, it took me a mere nanosecond to come up with the answer: Maggie Gyllenhaal. But nobody will care about my recommendation. They never ask the writer!

There must be something about military training that is conducive to business. Veterans are 45 percent more likely to be self-employed than non-vets.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, one in 10 small businesses is owned by a veteran, collectively generating $1.4 trillion in annual sales.
So it�s no surprise the U.S. Small Business Administration is eager to help veteran-owned businesses up and running. The SBA�s Office of Veterans Business Development�s �Boots to Business� (B2B) training is just one of several programs designed to help veterans, service-disabled vets, reserve component (and National Guard) members � or their spouses, dependents, and survivors � start or expand small businesses, and maximize potential success. The SBA also gives Veteran Advantage Loans to existing vet- or military spouse-owned businesses.
��(E)xperience tells us veterans make great entrepreneurs,� writes SBA Administrator Linda McMahon in a November 2017 blog at SBA.gov. �Military experience equips them with leadership and management skills they can apply to their civilian careers. More than a third of veteran business owners say they learned directly relevant or transferable business skills while on active duty.�
Boots to Business is part of the Department of Defense�s Transition Assistance Program (TAP). It provides participants with an overview of business ownership. Its companion program, �Boots to Business Reboot,� brings the B2B curriculum off installations and into communities for veterans, the National Guard and Reserve, and military spouses.
The B2B/B2B Reboot curriculum starts with the two-day Introduction to Entrepreneurship course, which teaches business fundamentals and evaluation techniques. From there participants choose among optional courses and follow-up actions, or connect with SBA business advisors and resources. The B2B Reboot and other veteran business support, SBA collaborates with Veterans Business Outreach Centers, Small Business Development Centers, Women�s Business Centers and SCORE (a national nonprofit small business mentoring program).
Regional Veterans Business Outreach Centers provide entrepreneurial counseling, training, information, and assistance, as well as access to capital and government contracting. The closest are Big Sky Economic Development in Billings, Mont., 406, 869-8411 or 8408; and Business Impact NW in Seattle, Wash., 206-324-4330 ext. 122.
For more information contact SBA at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202-205-VET1 (8381).

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Ill. 61801
A full line contact solution, under isothermal conditions, is obtained in which the effects of single stationary surface irregularities on the EHD lubrication process are studied under pure sliding conditions. The irregularities studied are furrows, furrows with built-up edges, and asperities. The effects of these irregularities on film thickness, pressure, and subsurface octahedral shear stress are presented. The pressure and film thickness resulting from such surface irregularities are significantly changed from their smooth surface values. These changes alter the state of stress in the subsurface region by increasing the maximum value of octahedral shear stress and bringing the location of this maximum stress closer to the surface. The film thickness in the contact is significantly changed from the smooth surface value only when the irregularities are located in the inlet region while the maximum value of the octahedral shear stress increases to the greatest extent when the irregularities are located in the outlet half of the contact.

• Fever-Tree Championships screened on Amazon Prime Video
• US Open, ATP Tour and Premier League will also be shown
Sky's decision to walk away from tennis next summer, after several years covering everything from the salad days of Tim Henman to the rise of Andy Murray, has left a gap in the market which Amazon Prime Video promised on Wednesday to fill by chasing a younger audience brought up in the live-streaming generation.
While Wimbledon looks secure on the BBC for the foreseeable future, Prime begins its pursuit of a younger constituency at the Queen's Club on Monday, when the Fever-Tree Championships get under way.

Two for two
I waited too long to register so I ended up getting the #88 grid spot. With no-shows taken out I counted an 8th row start. Luckily enough people were asleep at the wheel at the whistle and I quickly shot up to maybe 30th by the first corner. At the highest elevation on the course roughly a third of the way through the lap I muscled into 4th then moved into 2nd by the 3rd lap. I apparently dug too deep to get there because I just couldn't close it. Well, that and I'm fighting off a cold.
So there it is. Two Nats races and two 2nd places. Perhaps I'll make it 3 for 3 on Sat in the old man's race, starting from 140th place. That should be fun.

eh, I'm not really too worked up about it. I suppose if there was a jersey on the line it could be different, but he was registered for the race and I'd like to think they put some effort into screening. I believe that was the only race he could race, perhaps because of his nationality (not US, I think).
In any event, thanks for the positive thoughts - definitely getting stronger from it!
Cross categories are pretty screwed up - The top 5 women in the Masters Women 30+ race were also near the top 5 of the Pro women race for much of it. Now THAT is robbery of the next gals in line.

This is a question that everyone asks. It is a normal question since people don't understand the difference between the left and the right. These are the directions on the political scale. When we say left or right, we usually mean that it is a left or right economic way. Center politics is something in between. Left-wing parties usually advocate socialist type of state or a "welfare state" where the state takes care of its citizens. When we say right wing economy, we usually mean that the state doesn't intervene in anything and the individual needs to take care of himself/herself. This is a situation where each citizen can decide whether he/she wants something or not. In a socialist state, you need to take or don't take the things state says you have to do or not to do. In a right economy, you can choose.
Each of these philosophies has pros and cons. When we say left or right in the political specter, left is usually libertarian or "free" whereas the right wing is usually "totalitarian." To understand the center here, you can also see that the center is in the middle of these two. As you can see, the center is the best option in every situation. When we say centrism, we usually mean liberalism. There are right liberals and left liberals. All in all, liberalism is the best centrist ideology and of course the best ideology.
Centrism is the way to go
If you want to adapt to different people and different ideologies, your best ticket is to be a centrist. This is the way to understand all possible ideologies and to understand all those people who are divided. We tend to live in a modern democratic society with equal rights for everybody. You will see some extremists whether they are left or right. Your example is the best way to show them that left and right ideologies can blend.
If you choose to be a liberal, you know that it is the right thing to do. Freedom is a must in a democratic society, but we know that freedom is a good thing as long as you don't take someone else's freedom. It is the only way in which our society can work. Being moderate in everything is probably the best thing you can do for yourself and others. Moderation is key. Oregon is a state with many different people, many different cultures. We need to be moderate in everything and respect others. This is what centrism is all about.
