Single Screw Extrusion - Plastics Technology
Single screw extrusion is one of the core operations in polymer processing and is also a key component in many other processing operations. The foremost goal of a single screw extrusion process is to build pressure in a polymer melt so that it can be extruded through a die or injected into a mold. Most machines are plasticating: they bring in solids in pellet or powder form and melt them as well as building pressure.
A single-screw extruder is a press which pushes material through its barrel under conditions of high pressure and temperature. It can produce objects of different length with a cross-section corresponding to the outlet opening.
The extrusion process melts the raw material and then hardens it once shaped. It can be applied to ceramics, rubber, thermoplastic polymers, pasta and other food products.
These machines have a single screw turning within a cylinder, which is usually smooth. Raw material is fed into the barrel through a hopper and extruded into a die, which gives the material its final shape.
The barrel consists of three main zones: feed, compression and metering. The pressure increase within the extruder and movement of the material through the barrel are a function of screw geometry and the friction of the material against the screw and the barrel walls.

Ps: pretty much in love with extra snuggle time in my quilt too.
Joy list for the week
When life gets super busy I always find meditation keeps me in balance. Years ago I found a way that helps me, as sitting or laying in silence didn't get my mind to stop wandering. Inversions have always helped me focus ... it's amazing the clarity that comes from turning the world upside down 🙃
Im a huge fan of cooking, especially for super special people, and this time of year is all about the crockpot. My homemade split pea soup recipe gets better every year.
Writing and more writing! So excited for my newest project and grateful for those who are equally excited for me... or are just entertained with my extra energy.
This still makes me laugh ... this punk loves popcorn as much as I do. I turn my back for one minute only to discover a short time later these "what?!? I didn't do anything" eyes. He plays innocent but forgot about the little piece of popcorn still on his lips. BUSTED
Ps: pretty much in love with extra snuggle time in my quilt too.

Hah! Our new little Jolie is also a popcorn puss. What a love she's turned out to be. Oh, it's so good to see Obi again. I've missed him.

Dell's Decline Leads Tech Stock Dip
Page 1 of 1
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave the market a boost with Thursday's hints at a possible interest rate cut. But the enthusiasm didn't last as today's big mid-day gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average were more modest by close. Bernanke's comments couldn't help the mood in the tech sector as the Nasdaq ended the week on a down note, thanks in large part to a bad day for Dell.
At one point today, the Dow climbed 150 points, but closed the day up 60 points (to 13,372) after it was dragged down by the technology-heavy Nasdaq, which fell 7.17 points (to 2,661). The S&P gained 11.57 points to close to 1,481.
While Bernanke's encouraging words caused the market to start the day off with happy thoughts, the reality of Dell earnings was a sobering factor, pushing the PC maker's stock down $3.60 to $24.54. Yesterday Dell reported that its third-quarter sales rose to $15.65 billion, a 9 percent jumped over the same quarter last year. However, while it beat $15.34 billion estimates, pro forma earnings of 35 cents a share only met Wall Street estimates, raising pricing concerns.
Also among today's technology losers were Google, IBM and Brocade. The search giant's stock fell $4 to $693. The company announced it intends to bid in the government's 700MHz spectrum auction in January. Big Blue fell to 105.18, a 2.16 percent decline. Brocode dropped 5.81 percent to close at $7.29.
But the news wasn't all bad for tech stocks. Among advancers were Motorola. The mobile phone maker gained more than 2 percent to close at $15.97 on news today that CEO Ed Zander plans to step down at year's end to be replaced by Chief Operating Officer Greg Brown. Analysts and some shareholders had been calling for Zander's resignation for months as the company's financial performance and stock price continued to deteriorate.
Also closing on the plus side were Internet bellwethers Yahoo and Amazon.com. Yahoo ended at $26.81, up 16 points. And Amazon closed up almost 1.6 percent to end the session at $90.56.

NB: The middlewares have their own dedicated repository.
What is a middleware ?¶
Middlewares are functions that constitute the processing chain. The middlewares are successively applied to the consultation events processed by ezPAARSE and turnthem into the definitive form they will have when the events are eventually written in the result file.
How to load a middleware ?¶
To become part of the processing chain, a middleware must have its name (ie the name of its file, without the
.js suffix) added to the
EZPAARSE_MIDDLEWARES array in the config file. The order of declaration in the array determines the order in which middlewares are called.
Existing Middlewares¶
Anonymizes a list of fields
Separates any unique field into two or more distinct fields, based on a given separator or regular expression
Removes duplicate consultation events, based on the COUNTER algorithm for double-clicks
Enhances consultation events with information found in a pkb (issn, eissn, doi, title_id)
Filters irrelevant consultation events
Geolocalize consultation events based on an IP address
Based on the idea that all onCampus accesses will come from IP addresses contained in the private ranges (documented here), this middelware adds an
on_campus field on each EC and increments the
on-campus-accesses counter in the general report.
Parses the URL associated with a consultation event (by calling the appropriate parser)
Checks consultation events' qualification. See the dedicated page for more detail.
Enriches consultation events with Sudoc data, especially the PPN (that identify Sudoc records)
Regulates the consultation events' stream
How to create a middleware ?¶
Each middleware must have its own directory, with
index.js as entrypoint, and must export a function that will serve as
initiator. The initiator function must return either the actual processing function, or a
promise that will then return it. In case of failure during the initialization, returning an
Error object (or rejecting the
promise) will abort the job. The error object should be extended with a
status property that specify the status code to send back (defaults to 500), and optionally a
code property for the ezPAARSE-specific status (inserted in the header ezPAARSE-Status). The error message will be inserted in the header ezPAARSE-Status-Message.
processing function takes the EC as first argument and a function to call when the EC should go on to the next middleware. Calling this function with an error will result in the EC being rejected. When there's no line left to read, the function will be called with
null as EC.
initiator and the
processing function have the following properties in their context (this) :
request: the request stream.
response: the response stream.
job: the job object.
logger: a winston instance (shorthand for job.logger).
report: a report object (shorthand for job.report).
saturate: a function to call when the middleware is saturated.
drain: a function to call when the middleware is not saturated anymore.
Article counter¶
Here is an example of a very simple middleware that counts the articles and put the total in the report as
General -> nb-articles :
module.exports = function articleCounter() {
this.logger.verbose('Initializing article counter');
this.report.set('general', 'nb-articles', 0);
// Processing function
return function count(ec, next) {
if (!ec) { return next(); }
if (ec.rtype === 'ARTICLE') {
this.report.inc('general', 'nb-articles');
Mandatory field¶
This middleware is a bit more advanced. It's activated by giving a field name in the
Mandatory-Field header and it filters any EC that doesn't have a value for this field. An error is thrown on startup if the header contains a space.
module.exports = function mandatoryField() {
this.logger.verbose('Initializing mandatory field');
let mandatoryField = req.header('Mandatory-Field');
if (mandatoryField && mandatoryField.includes(' ')) {
let err = new Error('space not allowed in mandatory field');
err.status = 400;
return err;
* Actual processing function
* @param {Object} ec the EC to process, null if no EC left
* @param {Function} next the function to call when we are done with the given EC
return function process(ec, next) {
if (!mandatoryField || !ec) { return next(); }
if (ec[mandatoryField]) {
} else {
next(new Error(mandatoryField + ' is missing'));
Use of promises¶
module.exports = function mandatoryField() {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
if ('foo') {
return reject(new Error('initialization failed for some reason'));
resolve(function process(ec, next) {
// Processing function

What do you need in order to work on large data sets?
St. Paul, MN Director of Litigation Support, Chris Iijima, talks about what you should need when working on large data sets.
Email: [email protected]
Phone: (651) 251-8320
There are particular things that you need to be able to work on large datasets and millions of documents. If you just give a million documents to somebody and say read through these and find what's important in there they're not going to get very far and it's going to take them a very long time, so you need some different things to help you with that. And experience, of course, is always a key player in that and there's different types of experience. You know lawyer have experience strategizing the cases, working with clients, presenting at trial. Project managers have experience asking the right questions to determine what needs to happen in a project to foresee and predict risk and mitigate that risk with different tools.
And then you have process improvement people like Six Sigma where they look at processes that are going on and try to find ways to make them more efficient by eliminating wasted time or wasted energy to lower cost and get better product out and better services. And finally, you have the technology piece. With technology that's the way you get through the million documents. It has to be there. It runs throughout everything but there's tool to help you run searches up front to limit the number of documents you're collecting. There's technology to look at the documents you collect and determine what types of documents they are, what are the subjects of the documents. Look at documents coded by a lead attorney saying these are privileged documents, find me all the other ones that might be privileged and pull those together so your reviewers can get to those first leaving some of the less important ones for later.

It may be the shortest month of the year but don't let February fool you. There's lots on at Watergate Bay and Cornwall during the month – here's our top five pick-of-the-bunch things to enjoy.
1. St Ives feast and hurling the silver ball – Monday 5 February
It may look an awful lot like quidditch but the game of Hurling the Silver ball is more akin to an old form of Rugby. The St Ives Feast is an ancient tradition celebrating the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia, near Porthmeor Beach, in 1434. Following the mayor's civic procession from the church, participants must win the ball from one another and return it to the mayor on the steps of St Ives Guildhall at the stroke of midday. Take a ring side seat near Porthmeor beach as the battle commences.
More information can be found online.
2. The National maritime Museum – Science of the Sea
The National Maritime Museum is certainly worth a visit. Featuring 15 exciting galleries unlike any other in the country.
This February half term, discover the wonderful world of chemistry through the everyday life of water. Explorer Dome's show is a live, expert-led science show with entertaining demonstrations, audience interaction and volunteers will be required! Giving people of all ages a hands-on experience of science and a chance to meet researchers from the nearby Penryn Campus. As well as hearing short talks, visitors become scientists themselves by taking part in a range of activities and demonstrations.
3.See daffodils in bloom
With it's temperate climate, Cornwall is one of the best places in the world to grow daffodils and narcissi. The daffodil flowering season in Cornwall can last for seven months – weather dependent – from November to May, with the main picking-period between January and April. It's not hard to spot these brilliant fields of gold around the county so make sure to stop for a great photo opportunity.
4. Farmers Markets
Here you'll be able to find free-range meat and eggs, freshly baked goods, Cornish produced cheeses along with jams and chutneys as well as quirkier items like home made dog treats. Our favorites are Truro market, every Wednesday and Sunday and Pendeen Farmers Market, every first and third Saturday of each month.
5. Early Man at Eden
Take part in an archaeological dig, using brushes and tools to uncover ancient artifacts, or head for the fire pit in the Orchard and learn the survival skills that you would need to survive the Stone Age. Discover the latest film from the creators of Wallace and Gromit – Early Man, including behind the scenes fun and activities.
6. Train the Troops at Pendennis Castle
Visit Pendennis Castle during half term to step back in time and see if you have what it takes to become a WWI Soldier. Learn about the vital part that Pendennis Castle played in the first World War as the command centre of coast artillery defences for West Cornwall.
7. Valentines Day by the sea
Take a romantic stroll on the beach at Watergate Bay followed by food worth savouring and sharing as close as you can get to the sea – at The Beach Hut. The Beach Hut menu visits many places – among them Mexico, Asia and Italy – to create contemporary British seaside food. The Beach Hut will bring you together in the most relaxed, beside-the-sea way.
Book your stay online or call our reservation team on 01637 860543.

Crete Speech Competes at Nationals
The National Individual Events Tournament of Champions, otherwise known as NIETOC, is an annual event to celebrate competitive forensics, commonly called speech. NIETOC is an invitation only event, requiring that students attending earn qualifying 'bids' to be allowed to participate. This season the Crete High School Speech Team had four such qualified students and they took their talking talents westward, to Denver East High School on May 10th.
Lexy Bodfield (Senior), Noah Keck (Senior), Amy Lopez Hernandez (Junior) and Sabrina Reed (Junior), students from the Crete High School Speech Team, worked hard all season to qualify for the NIETOC. Two finals placings at approved area tournaments throughout the year are required to attend the culminating event in May, and each of these students proved their mettle as the year progressed. On May 10th, under the tutelage of Rachel Haider, Assistant Speech Coach, the team set out on their journey to Colorado to prepare for the competition.
After settling into their hotels and a quick trip to see the Red Rocks Amphitheater on Friday morning, the festivities got underway with the opening ceremonies and the first rounds of competition. Friday stretched late into the night with three rounds of speaking against the best and most-qualified orators in the country. The team returned to the hotel to rest up for more preliminary competition early on Saturday, nervous for finals postings to appear later that morning.
With two days and four rounds of competition under their belts the Crete Speech students waited with bated breath as the names of those advancing beyond preliminary rounds were posted. Excitement ensued when three of the Crete events scrolled across the screen, making this the first year in Crete Speech history that main events have advanced out of preliminary rounds for the team. The Duets of Amy/Sabrina and Lexy/Noah and the Humorous Interpretation of Amy qualified for the octofinal rounds (top 48 nationwide).
The competition in the final rounds was grueling, with the best students in the country facing off against our Crete Cardinals. Ultimately, Amy ran her course in Humorous, being eliminated in the octofinal round, and Lexy and Noah watched as their staunch competition advanced, including two of the eventual semifinalists. The Duet of Amy and Sabrina battled hard during octafinals to move forward to the quarterfinal round, where they met their match, seeing four of their five competitors qualify to the semifinal rounds. Having been knocked out of competition Saturday afternoon the students had the opportunity to sit in on workshops lead by trailblazers in the fields of speech, debate and theatre, took a few hours to explore the nearby portions of Denver and to watch the best of the best compete in the final rounds.
On Sunday morning the students donned their suits for the final time this season, and for some of them in their speech careers, to humbly accept their trophies on stage at Denver East High School and celebrate those that made finals. All in all, Crete Speech had three of a possible five events make the final rounds and tied for 17th place in their division nationwide, the second-highest placing for the Crete Speech Team overall in their tenure at the NIETOC. In addition, Amy and Sabrina earn the first of the two required 'bids' for next year's tournament in both Humorous and Duet, putting them one step closer to repeat appearances.
The Crete Speech Team would like to thank all of our sponsors and supporters throughout the year. Foremost, the Crete Public Schools Faculty, Staff, Administration and Board of Education. Without their support, none of this would be possible. We would also like to say a big thank you to our students and parents. So much work goes into perfecting this craft; the time and energy you dedicate does not go unnoticed. And on a personal note, this is my last year as head coach of the Crete Speech team after six years of involvement. It is bittersweet to leave, but it is nice to go on such a high note, and I know the team is in good hands with Rachel Haider. Good luck to future students and I will be watching and cheering from afar!

just can't help myself
Its been imitated:
Its been 'Heritage-ized':
Nothing comes close to the original though:
I only have around 35 cards so far, but I think I'm going to go all out and try to actually finish the set off. I can't do it immediately, like I like to do modern sets. Modern sets I need finished as soon as possible, it bothers me knowing that there is a card missing from something so easily obtainable. This is different though. This is a quest of epic proportions that I just can't get around anymore. I was on the fence before about putting this set together due to cost and scarcity. A couple of things appealing about this set are:
a) its awesome vintage
b) its small at 250 cards
(and this is the best part)
c) NO PESKY MANTLE!!
Yes 1954 was missing Mickey Mantle. Meaning that this set isn't an overblown pricing nightmare like say, 1953. This set is a reasonable set for almost the average collector to actually finish. Any set before 1964 that has a Mantle in it is just almost unreachable by regular people. That is also the sad part about this set though, is the guys that it is actually missing. Mickey Mantle, Roy Campanella, Stan Musial, just to name a few. It does have 2 Ted Williams, Ernie Banks and Henry Aaron rookies, Willie Mays and Duke Snider. So its definitely not shorted as far as superstars go. Speaking of the Banks and Aaron rookies, those are the two cards that will hurt the wallet the most. Everything else I have seen (or gotten) at reasonable prices. Now is the time, now that there isn't anything to collect until February, it seems like the right time to go for it. We'll see how far I can get.

That is a fantastic design. Face shot, action photo, signature, bold colors. Good luck with it.ReplyDelete
good luck with it... I'm a few cards short of the 2003 Heritage set. Not quite as ambitious as you...ReplyDelete
Go for it! Nothing looks better than a half filled binder of Vintage. Except a 75% filled binder of vintage. Or a 90% filled binder of Vintage. '54 Commons are cheap as long as you don't go for the near mint samples. Not too many nasty short prints either.ReplyDelete
I'm working on the '53 set and Mantle isn't even the toughest card in the set. Willie Mays is a short printed high number. That's right, a short printed short print. Not even going to worry about that one...
Wow... this will be a blast to build. And in the end, you'll have rookie cards of two legendary players. Best of luck!ReplyDelete

The beginning is when the time is right. InSanelyHealthy, InSanelyReal, InSanelyGood. This started with the bAsMythology and BeyondMuses, which is settling in around the archetype of the Wanderer, with a dose of Muses, Outlaws and Comets.
So, I have been wandering, musing, drawing, and generally making a mess of things for around 2 years now. Out of that mix comes the need for a blog dedicated to my wanderings.
The Wonderer Wanders, seeking a certain sense of Wonder. A twist on a twist. Wandering the Cliff Edges of Life. MuSiNG Around. That sort of thing.

A man stood next to me in a Korean owned deli in Palisades Park, NJ. His boots were fake, not real lizard but still in the style of botas de vaquero none the less. The boots you can buy in any norteno town where the men have paid thousands to sneak across the border to work as low paid laborers in the US. His trim mustache and dark skin, tucked-in shirt and ironed blue jeans might have made him a short Lotharo back in Piedras Negras but here, he was just a a guy who worked as a baker in a Korean pastry shop. Maybe he cut grass, painted, lifted, delivered, hauled, got spit on, harassed, not paid, paid lowly, hid, ducked, drank, shivered, and maybe he did none of the above. But he was here, not in his country, and trying to work.
The Spanish I heard in Times Square coming from Minny Mouse wasn't the native tongue of the native Puerto Ricans or Dominicanos. It was la lengua of the Mexican. Maybe the Chapinas or the Peruvian. But it was the accent of the new comers. They dressed as Elmo, Spiderman, and Minnie to pose for a dollar or two with the kids of those who stayed in $300 a night hotels in the City. They crossed borders to stand next to white kids so that their parents could snap pictures of them in the blinking lights.
One guy gets hot and lets slip his facade. The mask slips revealing a face more fitting inside the Museo Nacional de Antropología than on the streets of Times Square. Cada de indio as my mother would say of the neighbors. The face of an indigenista, a face from Southern Mexcio, of Guatemala, of the south.
So Spiderman crossed 9th ave near Port Authority. Wherever he went, he seemed tired. Worn from dancing for the Spanish and Italian tourists. Of hearing the accents of his conquerors and taking the money of his master. He probably walked to his next job. His delivery job where he would make a dollar or two running msg-filled Chinese food up six floors up to an uppity Iowan who now calls Manhattan home. The Iowan feels its his new right to belittle the delivery guy who was five minutes late because he couldn't walk fast enough. The rain was too hard, the snow was too cold.
Santiago once pointed out the only people out on the streets during a blizzard were the mojados who were delivering food.
I learned on this trip New York works because of it's illegal infestation. An infestation that makes the City move.

OK... I am sure that may have grabbed your attention. Let me say that I believe that there are things in life that you DO NOT need to pray about. For instance, do you really need to pray whether or not you are going to rob a bank? Harm a child? Or commit murder? No! There are standards and expectations that are simply stated in the Bible that are so evident that to pray about them are preposterous.
Of course it is easy to accept this when they are the big obvious things, but what about the areas that may not be so clear. Well, perhaps the reason why they are not clear is because we have wandered from the truth. We have lost a love for God's word and in fact would be shocked to realize the contents.
2nd Timothy 2:15 tells us that we must study to show ourselves approved as workmen who correctly handle the word of truth.
You see the word does indeed give us truth. When we want a truthful answer we need to read and heed God's word. I believe that the underlying problem is that we avoid the word because as a famous movie line states... "You can't handle the TRUTH!"
Yet people try to justify their actions and decisions by saying, "Well I have prayed about it", or "I have a peace" or "It has been confirmed to me by..." Again let me say that there are things that you really don't need to pray about. Prayer will not change God's standards and expectations.
I have actually had people say to me in the past, "I know what the Bible says, but I believe that God understands!" I have often said that the first two words in a backslider's life are "God Understands". He understands indeed that you are being rebellious when you don't line your life up with the standard of God's word.
We need to again see a great awakening in America. It will only come when we fall in love with God and His word.

|SESSION 1: 10:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
|Introduction and Explanation of How a Virtual Conference Works
|SESSION 2: 10:15 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
The Top 5 Latin-American Countries for Clinical Trials: Understanding Regulations in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Peru and Chile
Elizabeth Fernandes, Associate Lawyer, Bioethics, Biotechnology and Environment, BKBG Attorneys at Law
The number of clinical trials in Latin American countries has increased substantially. Countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Peru offer many advantages to the industry. For example, they offer a large number of untapped research subjects, a capable work force, well-functioning health systems and reduced costs. There is ample value in conducting clinical trials in Latin America. The first and most important step to develop successful clinical trials in Latin America is to understand and recognize countries' individual regulations.
Attendees will:
11:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
|SESSION 3: 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 P.m.
The Tipping Point: Ethical Challenges in Conducting Clinical Trials in Countries With Fewer Healthcare Resources — An Alternative to Medical Care?
Pedro Garbes-Netto, MD, MSc, Regional Director of Clinical Development, Latin America, Sanofi Pasteur
Conducting clinical trials in low health resourced countries poses real challenges when determining the differences between healthcare and clinical development. Regulators are increasingly concerned about dual ethics standards when conducting trials in developing countries. One example has been the oncology setting in which the standard care in control groups for several lung cancer trials offers much better care than those offered by public health systems throughout Latin America. Although clinical trial settings are separated from healthcare in most developed countries with clinical research activities, in Latin America these settings live side by side.
Attendees will:
|SESSION 4: 12:15 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Using Internal and External Resources to Develop Efficient Site Selection Teams
Oscar Garcia, Dir. Clinical Research, Sanofi-Aventis
Choosing which sites will enroll the required number of patients on time and on budget is crucial to the success of clinical trials. Sponsors need to build teams of varied skill sets that can properly vet and select trial sites. Drawing the required talents from multiple departments is important to assure all study requirements are met. Once sites are selecte comprehensive planning strategies are necessary to assure sites are functioning according to study protocols and regulatory guidelines.
Attendees will:
|1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
|Lunch Break
|SESSION 5: 2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.
Preparing Clinical Trial Sites — Vetting Everything From Couriers to Labs to Translation Services
Edilson Uiechi, Clinical Research Associate, Novartis Biociencias S.A.
Clinical trial sites in Latin America present challenges related to the cultures, languages and previous or lack of experience with clinical research. The most important piece of appropriate site selection, laboratories and couriers is to understand key strategies that produce high-quality and trustworthy clinical research results.
Attendees will:
2:45 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.
SESSION 6: 3:15 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Working With Investigators: Approaches to Strengthen the Sponsor-Investigator Relationship
Tatiana Vogel, Independent Consultant, Clinical Research Partners Ltd., Chile, Former Associate Director Clinical Research Operations for Latin America and Research Director, Chile, Merck
This session will focus on how sponsors must remain sensible to the challenges investigators face to build a stronger sponsor-investigator commitment and increase performance.
Attendees will:
SESSION 7: 4:00 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.
Successfully Working With IRBs and Regulatory Authorities to Prevent Clinical Trial Delays
Michele Barabash, Associate Director, Clinical Project Manager, Pfizer
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and regulatory authorities can be described as both exciting to work with and downright depressing. Building a productive relationship is paramount to successful Latin American clinical trials. Trial delays can take many forms, but putting in the work upfront with IRBs and regulatory bodies pays important dividends down the road.

CPR is an afterschool activity that many Lancers signed up for. That's right! Students are learning this lifesaving technique that is used to restore oxygenated blood flow to the vital organs if a person stops breathing or their heart stops beating effectively. For example, if somebody drowns, our brave Lancers can save them after learning how in this CPR class.
Here are the beginner steps for CPR. First of all call for help! That's the most important step! While you're waiting for help to come, if the person is still not breathing normally or not breathing at all, begin chest compressions. Push down in the center of the victim's chest 30 times quickly. Repeat the chest compressions until help comes. This takes much bravery to do, and our Lancers definitely have it in them to do this! Go Lancers!

Africa, the latest David Attenborough programme on the BBC.
I've only watched two episodes so far, Congo and Sahara, and although very different, they're both excellent.
In Sahara, I was mesmerised by the sand dunes and how their movements were captured over the course of a year. And the resilience of the animals and living plants who call this unforgiving terrain home.
Congo fascinated me. This country has so much to offer I feel.
David Attenborough's Congo focused on the rainforest and the wildlife. And two moments caught my imagination:
- Dzanga-Bai, the legendary "village of elephants"
- Loango beach, "one of the last truly wild places". And so when David Attenborough informed us that "everyone, from gorillas to forest hogs, ventures out to relax on the beach"… well, you get that, don't you? I mean… why wouldn't they? It's stunning.

The monstrous garbage patch consists of 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic and weighs roughly 88,000 tons. Scientists fear that if they can't clear the patch in time, plastic will be too small to collect and harm marine life.
In a new study published Thursday, the drifting island of waste has been found to have grown to more than 600,000 square miles.
Want a visual? That's twice the size of Texas.
An early 1990s discovery, the cluster's trash is an accumulation from countries around the Pacific Rim, including North and South America. Winds and intersection ocean currents drive all that trash into one location.
The monstrous patch consists of 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic and weighs a whopping 88,000 tons. Again, a visual? That's equal to 500 jumbo jets. These new numbers are up to 16 times higher than what previous estimates anticipated, and it's rapidly getting worse.
In addition to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, there are four other known trash collections adrift in the ocean. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest of the five. The patches are in international waters, meaning no governments are held responsible for stepping in to clean up the islands of waste.
And the longer they wait, the more of an enemy time becomes. Joost Dubois, a spokesman with OCF, said there's a sense of urgency with these cleanups. The faster they can be conducted, the larger the parcels of trash are. As time goes on, the garbage will begin to break down into tiny pieces.
How long plastic may remain in the ocean is a big unknown, but unless we begin to remove it, some would say it may remain there forever.

|Trina Fader, Owner of Trino's Men's Wear
"I sell men's clothes that look and feel good." - Trina Fader, OwnerAt the turn of the century, people who made or sold clothes were referred to as a clothier, a cloathesman or a clothman.
Fast forward to 2013, to Trino's Men's Wear, a red carpet retail experience that is inspired by what makes men look and feel good, delivered with an artistic touch.
"I sell men's clothes that look and feel good." - Trina Fader, Owner
Now six years later, Trina looks forward with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
It's no wonder that Trina is successful in this business traditionally dominated by men. She takes on challenges with gusto and determination.
When she started Trino's, she was a single mother working and pouring all of her own resources into creating this vision of a men's wear store that would redefine men's fashion experience.
"I did this all myself with some help from family and friends," she says, gesturing to her perfectly manicured showroom.
"We assembled every single rack and shelf in this store. We painted the walls, installed the baseboards, drilled the holes and built every single rack. I designed and installed the window coverings to ensure that suits would not be bleached by sunlight."
"Before I became Trino's, I was an artist, painter and sculptor. Every day I look at this shop as my canvas. I am its artist. I choose the colors, textures and styles to create a memorable experience for my customers."
Trina takes the business of men's fashion personally, because she understands that often times shopping for clothes is challenging for men. "Women are very self-sufficient shoppers. Men sometimes need some extra help, especially if they don't have someone to shop with them. The number of women's stores still outnumber men's fashion stores, so we are filling an important niche in the market place".
"The Trino's shopping experience appeals to men because the process is enjoyable for them. They want to look good and we provide advice about what looks good."
"We believe that the clothes should reflect our customer's personality, what he does for a living, and how he expresses himself through fashion. We can outfit men for the boardroom, the baseball field and the night club."
"Men receive a red carpet experience at Trino's in a friendly atmosphere. We are quick and painless. We offer complementary tailoring, client cards and a guarantee that our customer looks his best."
Men can be insecure about the clothes they wear and how they look in the same way that women can. We want to be sure they are dressed in clothes that they feel good wearing and that they know looks good."
Trino's golden rule is to not sell for the sake of selling.
"Each client is a walking testimonial of our experience so we never take for granted the importance of treating each and every person with respect."
"Once we have clothed a man, we record sizes and specific information that helps improve the process the next time we have an opportunity to serve him. Often times, the women in their lives will come to Trino's to shop, and we know exactly what works and what doesn't."
"Beyond fashion, we know there is an emotional connection between the clothes we wear and steps we take in our lives. As women, we tend to take the time to take care of our hair, makeup, and ensuring we have the perfect outfit and shoes."
"Men like to look and feel good too. They want to have the perfectly fitted suit for that special occasion, like graduations, weddings, family occasions and formal events."
"As a mother of two boys, I completely understand the frustration of shopping for them, especially at the important times in their lives when they put on their first suit, like graduation."
"There is nothing like seeing the men in our lives beam with pride when they know they look good."

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Chemicals giant DuPont DD, +0.22% shares were higher at midday Tuesday, reversing an earlier loss as investors shrugged off a second-quarter earnings miss to focus instead on better-than-expected sales and a higher outlook for 2004. Fulcrum Global Partners described the report as a "neutral to modest negative," and said investors may be disappointed they didn't get more from the company given the solid external environment. "Stock has come under pressure with the broader market in the past month (stock off 6 percent since July 1), so unlikely to see a jail break," said analyst Frank Mitsch. He added that positive comments on planned cost cuts on the conference call could boost sentiment on the stock. DuPont shares were last trading up 0.6 percent at $42.15, off an early low of $41.14.

Get a Hunting Dog, Live Longer?
Results of a Swedish study published in Scientific Reports suggest that owning a dog is linked to a lower risk for heart disease and death. Why would this be the case? Dog owners engage in more physical activity (walking the dog), experience an improved sense of social well-being, and have stronger immune system development, according to researchers.
In people who live alone with their pet, the researchers found having a dog reduced death risk by 33 percent, cardiovascular-related death risk by 36 percent, and heart attack risk by 11 percent. In multi-person households, having a dog cuts cardiovascular death risk by 15 percent and overall death risk by 11 percent. Having a dog in the home does not appear to affect heart attack risk in people who live with others.
This study involved more than 3.4 million people between 40 and 80 years old over a 12-year study period, using data from a national database in Sweden and the Swedish Twin Register. Researchers discovered that hunting breeds, such as terriers, retrievers, and scent hounds, provide the largest health benefits, but any dog helps reduce death risk. More research is needed to examine the benefits of owning a dog in different climates, among people of different socio-economic backgrounds, and more.

Hi Girls
Im just wondering if anyone has any good ideas or tips to help improve egg quality! At the moment Ive just started Co-q10 200mg which is what I was recommended, and also Inositol 750mg twice a day.
Im just wondering if there is anything else I can eat, drink, do, to help it out.
Hi ladypenny I was advised to take 3,000mg omega 3 fish oil capsules daily for 6 weeks and then 1,000mg daily after that and in consecutive cycles, I had much higher egg quality after taking the omega 3 fish oils! Also took pregnacare, folic acid and Vit B6 to assist with anxiety, hope that helps!
Graciegirl, I used this on my current cycle and my pharmacy were able to get it on DPS. If one pharmacy can get it on DPS then others definitely can too! It is so frustrating to hear that some pharmacies can be awkward about stuff like this when we are all going through enough stress as it is!
I can PM you details of my pharmacy if you like?
Hi all,
I was just wondering about the genotropin, I have a script for it but chemist wants 560 for a 12 mg pen. Anyone know if it can be got cheaper? Northern Ireland or a different pharmacy?
many thank
Sally76 - your story is very much like mine. We had our first cycle in the merrion too and we just found them awful. It wasnt until it was over and we were able to sit back and think, we realised how bad it all was. Then our review appointment a month later and the doc then came up with excuses why it didnt work, nothing we were told of before, and how poor my embryos were (which no one told us of before either) but wanted to do the exact same thing for the next round!?! So we are currently in IVF Spain
I will be taking Saizen, the human growth hormone in about a week and a half I start. It was near impossible for us to get. At one point we were going to fly to Spain for the day to pick it up. One chemist we called said it wasnt on the DPS so it would cost 1200 but getting the injector to use for it would be tricky as its not used for IVF purposes. She called back and said no, she cant get the injector, as the drug company would need to send out a nurse to show us how to use it and they wont. We then called a lot of chemists - here, spain, manchester, up north, and an amazing man in Sandyford was able to get Saizen, under the DPS, AND the injector. There are youtube videos for everything so we will look at them before we try!
Barnes, I got both my co-enzyme Q10 600mg and the royal jelly from Puritan's Pride, like Wifeyxx. That's the brand that Sims prescribes in conjunction with Medipharm -- but it cost me something like 60 for just ONE bottle the first (and only!) time I got it from Medipharm. I didn't make that mistake twice.
Wifeyxx, I'm so sorry to hear about your unsuccessful cycles. It's very hard to draw a line under it, isn't it? So I completely understand why you keep up with developments.
Barnes I use the ubiquonol version of coq10 it's supposed to be better and I order it from Swanson. It's expensive though :-/ I take 600mg and it works out about 60 a month! The ubiquinol is always dearer though. I also use iherb for all my other suplements and it's brilliant. They arrive within about 2-3 days and they have coq10 too I buy my husbands On that.
Barnes, I ordered it from puritans pride. It's an American site but they can have great offers- first time I got it order 5 pay for 3 and all in was about 100. I didn't pay customs but I think some people have been stung for it. After that I always got redirected to the Irish site so paid about 30 for 60 capsules. They're large and I found a bit hard to swallow but sure a little thing like that won't stop us.
Hi girls
Can you tell me where I can get the 600mg Co enzyme Q10 and how much it is.
Sorry wifey that your last cycle didnt work out either.
I've had 4 cycles, long short and CAAP. Story is always the same. My first was successful but even that was touch and go- you on my need one and I got very lucky. I think I'd need to change clinic to get anything done drastically different but at the moment I feel done with ivf. Still like to have information on could be done differently just in case...
Hi Wifeyxx, the Genotropin was prescribed for me and it's another injection that you take during the stimulation. It comes in a 12ml pen and you take 4ml for the first three nights. (Saizen is another human growth hormone that can be prescribed.)
I'm sorry to hear about your last cycle. Have you considered changing your protocol? For example, women with low AMH usually respond badly to the long protocol. My problem in my early cycles was a lead follicle racing ahead and nothing happening to the others, which messed up everything. I got much more consistent follicle growth with the short protocol with oestrogen priming beforehand.
The Genotropin is expensive if you don't have a sympathetic pharmacy...I think it's about 300 or something. I was lucky enough to find one who would include it on the DPS, which I really appreciated. It's definitely worth asking around a few different ones!
Best of luck and if I can answer anything else for you, please just ask xx
Hi Sally! Wow. But wondering did you just take the human growth hormone (ie like a vitamin) or was it part of the drugs prescribed as part of your protocol? I'm interested cause I took a new drug Elonva which helped recruit follies but as usual they were really so to grow and most just didn't. This is always the part of the cycle where my progress bottoms out.
Co grays on your dd.
I was 38 years old and had already had four failed cycles when I had my last cycle in September 2014. We now have a gorgeous 16-month-old girl. My husband had been diagnosed with high DNA fragmentation levels of 37% but I won't go into what we did to treat that here, unless someone wants the info. My AMH was extremely low (it was 4.02 in late 2011 - I refused to get it tested any more. I can only imagine how low it was during my final cycle, three years later.) Here's what I did:
We started in Merrion for our first two cycles, which was a waste of time and money. Then we did two in Sims, which was better (we got a chemical pregnancy) but was just so expensive. For our fifth cycle, which was finally successful, we went to Gennet in Prague and I can't recommend it enough. Good luck to you all...
Girls - looking at starting ivf in a couple of weeks. Would you mind sharing with me what clinics you are in and how has been your experience so far? We are looking for cutting edge tech and we want to make sure we put our best foot forward. Thank you xx
Hey girls I g0t my melatonin in the states 120 tablets 8 dollars and its 5mg that's what I was.prescribed but cause it's not covered on the dps.it cost me abit can't remember exactly how much bit enough to get family to post it to me. I must admit I've been on it since Jan and hasn't helped my sleeping. It's supposed to be wonder drug for egg qualitymy clinic prescribe it for everyone....
Yeah last penny it's awful I'm terrified about the next cycle the same thing happening again! I would love even 1 good quality blast. I changed clinic too not because i thought it was my old ones fault but there was just way too much messing with them never felt like I got the care I needed so time for a change. Please god it will help !
Thanks so much Izi x
dedear - I know how that feels, none made it to blastocyst on our first cycle. We changed clinics and it never dawned on me that it could happen again! I literally thought of every other scenario bar that one for some reason. We managed to get one so Im hoping with the new vitamins and suppliements and the growth hormone im taking it will help the quality of one or two more
Hi girls I just wanted to let you know you don't have to get the melatonin on prescription you can order it on iherb and Amazon have some too as far as I know. Iv been taking it for months now and just buy it online from America or U.K. As its over the counter there. I'm also struggling with quality 2 IVF cycles 15 embryos in total an never made a blast. So have been swollowing suplements like crazy. Best of luck to everyone X
Congratulations platinum!!
oh id say you are on cloud 9 platinum!! :) when is your due date?
I feel like im acutally doing something this cycle with the coq10 and the inositol and the saizen. Well the first 2 im taking myself but all 3 are to help quality. please god!
If our collection goes well in Nov, all embryos, from last cycke and this upcoming cycle will be tested with transfer happening around new year. I just want to have 2 embryos that pass. And to have that number pass, we need about 4-5 in total, which is very unlikely but gotta keep the hopes up
Thanks a mil Ladypenny, I can't quite believe it, you just get used to disappointments and heartache that you can't let yourself get excited even though you are finally pregnant! It just never stops!! You have lots of time to prepare for your next EC, melatonin is also on prescription (3mg) and makes you sleep like a baby. The coq10 is really important but just make sure you take 600mg (that's what my Dr prescribed for me although you can just buy the 200mg tablets off the Internet and take 3 a day). Luck definitely plays a part but being proactive makes you feel like you are doing something to help the situation! Xx
izi2010 - yeah im hoping everything im taking helps with quality. From 2 ivf collections i have had 1 embryo to make it to blastocyst. I hadnt been taking anything bar the meds the clinics provided. In ireland 0 made it to blastocyst but they still transferred the best of a bad bunch, which they never even told us was bad. Spain have managed to get us an AA grade blastocyst so im hoping for 1-2 more in November. But there is a good chance we wont get any too
ah platinum thats amazing news!! huge congrats!! delighted for you! I need to be more active and definitely eat healthier for my next EC, Im doing it in Spain so It wont be until the end ov November until actual EC day!
Barnes - im with IVF spain and the Saizen was on prescription from them but it was near impossible to get over here. We nearly were gonna travel to belfast but they couldnt even get it in, but an amazing chemist in sandyford managed to get it in and on DPS too which was amazing!!! If we couldnt get it DHEA was an option which would have been on prescription too. This is our last time going through IVF so im willing to try anything!
Barnes and lady penny, I know the DHEA is only on prescription.. I was on it for the last cycle but my Dr has taken me off it for the next one. It can really have an effect on your testosterone. It caused mine to go up and my Dr. said this can actually be damaging. It's a very fine line and to be honest it was stressing me out being on it as I was going to my GP to get my testosterone checked every 10 days ( my own choice). My consultant said that hormones are very finely balanced and and sharp elevation can have a bad effect. If your are put on it by your doctor I'm sure he/she will alert you to this. I really think it's just luck that we will hit upon a good egg during any given cycle. If you plant a packet of flower seeds, not all will grow into flowers but obviously some will. I'm applying that theory to myself. Hopefully we will hit upon the good seed at some point!
Hi Ladypenny, That's great you don't drink alcohol as its one less thing you have to cut out, I missed the vino I have to admit! And i still drank tea, just a couple of cups per day, coffee is much worse. It's a lot of supplements alright but they definitely helped and I'm six and a half weeks pregnant now (so terrified of something going wrong but overjoyed to finally get this far) x
Thanks ladpenny the exact thing I want to know about too.
Where did ye get these. The only thing I have is omega 3. Is the dhea, saizen and melatonin on prescription only ?
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
holy moly platnuim! thats mental!! a lot of stuff!! I will be starting Saizen soon which is a human growth hormone to also help with my egg quality. If we were unable to findit, which nearly happened, we were told we could go on DHEA but it wouldnt be as good as the saizen so Im hoping that works! I dont drink alcohol, so thats good and I will have to cut down on tea, I drink that in work when im cold.
Hi Ladypenny, I spent three months on dhea, melatonin and coq10 before my last IVF cycle. There was a big increase in my egg quality. You will need to have your testosterone checked before starting dhea to see if it is suitable for you. As regards the coq10 the recommended dose to improve egg quality is 600mg per day, or 200mg of ubiquinol which is the more concentrated version, I took both to be on the safe side! I also took omega 3 and the antioxidant alpha lipoic acid. And cut out alcohol and coffee for the 5 weeks running up to egg collection xx

Clear the Body of Percocet
Percocet is an opioid analgesic painkiller. It is actually a combination of oxycodone (an opioid agonist) and acetaminophen (a non-opiate analgesic). Known to be habit-forming, Percocet can trigger drug dependence in as little as 2-3 weeks after daily dosing.
So, what can you expect if you want to quit? In most cases, as Percocet leaves the body, its absence triggers very uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Percocet detox methods are similar to the detox programs for other opioids and include medications, tapering, and psychological support. But, detoxification is only the first step in addiction treatment.
What happens during Percocet detox? But what can you expect during the process? Do you have any options? We review here and invite your concerns in the comments section at the end of the page.
Get your life back on track.
We can help you get rid of Percocet for good.
Contact us.
We're here to help.
What's Withdrawal Really Like?
Percocet withdrawal and detoxification is like a bad flu. Symptoms are similar:
- Fever
- Headaches
- Runny nose
- Stomach cramping
Treatment is similar to other opiate detoxification procedures, because Percocet is an opiate; it's actually a man-made synthetic form of opiates called an "opioid".
Typically, medical detox includes medical intervention(s) as Percocet leaves your body. During detox, a combination of both medication and psychological treatments can be used. Reputable, licensed programs include medical supervision 24/7 by qualified staff such as nurses and trained clinicians…who are supervised by a medical doctor. It is also possible to detox from Percocet at home, but it's only safe and recommended if you get medical clearance first.
The most common symptoms that occur as you withdraw from Percocet include:
- Anxiety
- Digestive discomfort
- Headaches
- Heart palpitations
- Insomnia
- Muscle pain
- Panic attacks
In more severe cases, or in cases when you've been taking other drugs at the same time, symptoms can also include psychiatric problems such as:
- Hallucinations
- Delirium
- Psychosis
- Seizures
- Tremors
Still, most cases are relatively mild and not life-threatening. Still, experts advise that you SEEK MEDICAL SUPERVISION in any case of detox. Complications can arise, and you're more likely to complete the detox when you have medical help. Otherwise, relapse can occur (to prevent the withdrawal symptoms).
Which Method Most Effective?
Some of the most common detox methods include:
1. Cold turkey = Quitting Percocet abruptly and all at once. This method is not frequently recommended due to the high chances of relapse and the discomfort you face when drastically reducing your dose.
2. Tapering = Gradually reducing your daily Percocet doses. Tapering off Percocet may help reduce the duration, intensity, and severity of withdrawal symptoms. The parameters under which you'll lower your doses should be made in consultation with your prescribing doctor or with the advice of a pharmacist. Together, you can create a tapering schedule that is realistic. For Percocet, a weekly decrease of the dose by 20%-25% may be best, but a dose should never be abruptly cut by 50%. A good time frame is to gradually taper off over the course of 3-6 weeks.
3. Medically assisted detox = This is the supervised procedure during which doctors will remove Percocet from your body. This procedure is usually done in a licensed detox clinic where your condition is under 24/7 surveillance. Medical detox usually takes from 3-7 days to complete.
4. At home detox = The attempt to quit a drug after medical clearance and outpatient supervision. It is never recommended that you quit Percocet totally on your own without medical advise, as this drug causes serious discomfort during withdrawal.
The most frequently recommended way to detox for Percocet is to first gradually taper off…and then to benefit from medical treatments in a detox. Nevertheless, some people choose to stop Percocet cold turkey. Still, cold turkey, as a method of detox is not recommended. During this time medical monitoring can be a lifesaver.
Percocet Detox Protocol
Detox is actually a cluster of interventions whose goal is to manage intoxication and withdrawal symptoms. The core purpose of all detox procedures is to clear the body from drugs and to ease withdrawal symptoms. Detox usually takes place in specially designed clinics where every substance abuser is monitored by trained medical staff. Percocet detox consists of three basic stages:
STAGE 1. Evaluation
During evaluation, patients undergo a variety of tests (urine, blood, and oral) to see what the individual needs are, and to identify patterns for treatment. Also, this stage allows complete monitoring of the patient's physical and psychological state.
STAGE 2. Stabilization
During this stage, patients undergo medical and behavioral therapies. It usually takes about three days for Percocet to leave the system and the body to return to a stable state.To minimize withdrawal symptoms and cravings, a few main prescription medications (methadone, LAAM, buprenorphine) can be given to a patient. Medications like clonidine or antidepressants may also be prescribed over the short-term to manage symptoms as they arise.
STAGE 3. Transfer to ongoing treatment
The last stage of Percocet detox is focused on the psychological aspects of addiction. It prepares patients for entry into Percocet addiction treatment and offers referral to long-term recovery.
Detox from Percocet usually lasts from one to two weeks,max. However, the duration of withdrawal symptoms differ by person. In fact, some symptoms may last longer depending on the following factors:
- How long you were taking Percocet.
- Your body's individual response to withdrawal.
- How you were taking Percocet (snorting, injecting, chewing, etc.).
- The dose of Percocet you've been using.
The logic goes like this: The longer you've been taking Percocet, the greater the intensity of withdrawal will be and the longer will take for you to recover. But most symptoms should subside after the first week of withdrawal. Usually, younger people recover faster since their regeneration system adapts very quickly to the newly gained condition.
In case your Percocet withdrawal experience differs from other people's experiences don't worry. Everybody's system is different and will experience withdrawal in its own way. And keep in mind that your overall health condition does play a role in detox and recovery.
Other Considerations
There are no strict rules for Percocet detox since everyone reacts differently to the drug. Before doing anything, consult with an addiction professional for guidance. Here are our final recommendations for detox procedures:
1. Ask for help from a specialized, local detox clinic
Detox clinics provide medical supervision and help in order to minimize the risk and discomfort of withdrawal symptoms.
2. Attempt Percocet detox at home only with medical clearance.
Many factors play a role in deciding whether detoxing at home fits your needs, or not. First, you must be a very motivated and strong person. Second, the home environment must be supportive. Then, you must be in good health, not suffering from any mental or physical health issues.
Before starting your detox, make an appointment with your prescribing doctor for medical approval. Usually, this type of detox includes gradually lowering the daily doses of Percocet, and taking over-the-counter medical aids to address withdrawal symptoms as they occur.
3. Cold turkey detox in not recommended.
Quitting cold turkey in not recommended for Percocet detox. But, it can be done and have a successful result. If you choose to quit cold turkey, make sure you do it under medical supervision.

I try to import the footage directly to a firewire drive I never like keeping large or important files on my iMac - everything is saved or aliased to a couple of Lacie drives (firewire currently connected through hubs). I wanted to know if it is possible to to import from my DV Cam (Pan NV-GS200) directly to one of these external drives. They come up as an option for import but if I choose one, they generally disconnect and then the iMac hangs up and I have to restart. If I import directly to the iMac hard drive then everything works as it should. I've tried an alias link to the external drive but then get errors and the aliases add .localized to the filename. I'm getting very frustrated - anyone know if this is just how Leopard does things, if its a bug or just something else I'm missing ??? All help appreciated

New Single 'Heads Will Hang' available today. New Album The Great Collapse will be released on 17 March via Long Branch Records.
FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY have debuted brand new music video 'Heads Will Hang'. Directed by Max Moore, (CODE ORANGE, OF MICE AND MEN) this is the first music video the band have released from their upcoming new album.
"Heads Will Hang" is available on all major streaming services and will be offered as a free download on iTunes to those who pre-order the album.
Pre-order The Great Collapse here:
First premiered on Alternative Press, watch the video for 'Heads Will Hang' here:
FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY will release The Great Collapse on 17 March via Long Branch Records (Europe) and Entertainment One (Rest of the world).
The crushing music of Fit For An Autopsy is for any fan of extreme metal, as it's devoid of preachy politics or grandstanding soap-boxing, but its sound and fury is absolutely unflinching in purpose. The band expertly blends excessive-force fuelled death metal with atmospheric groove and impassioned personal diatribes, reflecting back the dark state of current events. Their fourth album, The Great Collapse, doesn't waste time with fantasy bullsh*t or cliché gore horror. Fit For An Autopsy are metal guys, to be certain, but they grew up in the hardcore scene. They embrace the responsibility to put as much devoted purpose into their lyrics and message as they do into their dense, heady, songs, forging a magnificently powerful new post-deathcore.
"When I write a song, I'm trying to feel emotionally connected to it. I really don't like saying things that don't matter over music that I want to matter," says Putney, guitarist, principal songwriter and cofounder. "We've always addressed serious topics going back to our first album. We aren't a politically charged band up on a podium yelling at people – anybody can relate to the aggression, anger, frustration, and sadness often communicated in our music. But we absolutely raise important questions in the lyrics. Those themes are there to discover."
Putney's fellow guitarist/cofounder, Patrick Sheridan, strongly agrees. He emphasises that while the music of Fit For An Autopsy may evolve it will always be aggressive and will always have purpose. "We think it's important to carry that torch. Somebody's got to say something about the shit that's going on. If you're not using your music, which is a great platform, for something meaningful that you care about on some level, then you're kind of wasting it."
The six-men of the New Jersey based group – which includes vocalist Joe Badolato, bassist Peter Spinazola, third guitarist Tim Howley, and drummer Josean Orta – put maximum intentionality into everything they do. They are constantly challenging themselves as musicians, adding to the band's overall creative arsenal, connecting with audiences around the world, and supporting one another in the band as individual people.

CMYK vs RGB
Covering the differences between CMYK and RGB.
When to use
Knowing when to use CMYK and when to use RGB is something that many new and inexperienced designers will either ignore or be unfamiliar with. By learning the difference early on, you can get a leg up on many of the other designers just starting out.
- Launch Adobe Illustrator
- Choose 'New…' from the Start Workspace
- Select one of the presets or templates available from either mobile or web and take note of the color mode.
Hints & tips
- Try to change the color mode to CMYK and notice the small caution symbol
- Select one of the presets for a print document and notice that when you have CMYK selected here, you will no longer see the same yellow symbol (unless you try to change this setting to RGB).
