Walsh University and Community Mourn the Passing of Last Living Founding Brother Edmond Drouin, FIC
Catholic PRWire
NORTH CANTON, OH (December 16, 2013) � Brother Edmond (Raymond) Drouin died Saturday, December 14, 2013 at the age of 92 in Lewiston, ME. Br. Drouin was one of the original seven Brothers of Christian Instruction who founded Walsh University, then Walsh College, in 1960.
As head of the LaMennais College Library in Alfred, ME, Br. Drouin directed the transfer of the library�s collections to its new location on the Walsh College campus in Canton, OH. In recognition of his professional work the Walsh University Library was dedicated to him on Nov. 23, 2003. In 1971, he was released from library and teaching responsibilities to pursue his writing and research full time. He contributed articles for several religious and professional magazines and was invited to contribute six articles on Church history for the New Catholic Encyclopedia.
Br. Drouin also wrote a comprehensive biography of Fr. John Mary de La Mennais, founder of the Brothers in Christian Instruction. Fluent in French and in English Brother travelled throughout Europe and North America, verifying information and discovering new insights in his work. With the assistance of Br. Francis Blouin, the highly appreciated work was completed and printed in 2012 and entitled; The Courage of Hope, John de La Mennais, 1780-1860.
His religious formation began in 1935 during his high school years at Notre Dame in Alfred, ME. He spent his novitiate year (1938-39) in La Prairie, QC. He professed his lifelong commitment as a religious Brother on June 26, 1944. Though he began his professional teaching career in elementary schools first in Quebec Province, Canada and in Waterville, ME, and later as a high school science teacher in Plattsburgh, NY and Fall River, MA, most of his life was dedicated to professional research and writing, work he enjoyed and at which he excelled. A 1956 graduate of LaMennais College (Alfred, ME) he pursued advanced studies earning an MS in Library Science (1959) and a Ph.D. in Education from the Catholic University in Washington, DC (1980). His Master�s dissertation was The School Question, A Bibliography on Church-State Relationships in American Education.
Born on November 28, 1921 in Biddleford, ME, Br. Edmond was predeceased by his father Hemenegilde (1984) and his mother Fedora (1992) and his brother Charles (2004). He is survived by his two sisters Therese Valliere of Lewiston, ME and Pauline Janson of Scarborough, ME and many nephews and nieces. He will be greatly missed by the members of his international religious family, the Brothers of Christian Instruction.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by Lafrance-Lambert & Black Funeral Home in Sanford, ME. Reception of the body in Notre Dame Chapel will occur at 4:00 PM on Wednesday, Dec. 18. Wake will be held at 10:00 am, funeral at 11:00 am with burial in the Brothers� Cemetery in Alfred, Maine on Thursday, December 19, 2013. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory can be made to the Brothers� Retirement Fund c/o Br. Jerome Lessard, P.O. Box 159, Alfred, ME 04002.
Walsh University is an independent, coeducational Catholic liberal arts and sciences institution that promotes academic excellence and diversity and provides close faculty-student interaction. It is dedicated to teaching its more than 3,000 students from 15 states and 31 countries to become leaders in service to others through a values-based education with an international perspective in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

How Online Marketing Is Changing Travel
Travel Technology
Column | Travel Law | Jeff Miller | May 27, 2013 11:45 PM ET
An important legal issue for you as a travel agent working from home is when you book groups into hotels or resorts. In all cases, I never recommend that you sign the contract on behalf of the group. Instead, the contract should be between the hotel and the group you represent. You should also include specific language about the commission and the payment schedule for that commission you receive.

Has anyone in this forum read the book "Recording The Beatles"
I am looking for people to discuss more in detail about the contents of this book.
I would highly recommend this book to any hard core Beatles fan
John Senchak
I'd really like a copy of that - it looks like a fantastic book. Unfortunately shipping and exchange rates mean it's very expensive to buy and get it delivered to the UK, where I live. Maybe one day.
A work colleague of mine had a review copy a while ago (perhaps I should request one too). I had a flick through it and it looked very good, though perhaps slightly too technical for my needs (I don't really need to know loads about variations between different types of microphone or mixing consoles). For the more casual fan I recommend The Beatles' Gear by Andy Babiuk, though that's got a slightly different focus.
14 October 2009
The book blows Mark Lewisohn book away with sheer detail. It's doesn't go into detail on every song, only key songs that evolved the development of recording technology at Abbey Road Studios. Most of the songs on the first two albums where recorded live to either mono or twin track with a minimal of overdubbing As the recording process grew after the album Help, the book goes into major detail. What is awesome about this book, is the detail of all the equipment used at Abbey Road during the Beatles recording along with other groups like the Zombies and Pink Floyd. The first thing that literal blew me aways was the 3D floor plan of Abbey Road studios and all of the important rooms
I will say this after reading this book, you will look at pictures of recording sessions and your then will be able to pick out Microphones, Recording consoles, Compressors, Limiters, speakers, patch-bays, tape machines and other information and know exactly what it is and what was it's direct purpose in the recording process.
I warn users, that this book is not for the beginner. You must have a background in audio, studio equipment, electronics and the process of how music is recorded. If you don't have this , you won't understand much of this book as it is rather technical in nature.

Chronicles of the Fantastic Four Chronicles
(This conversation will be limited to the Chronicles series. FantaCo had also put out Splatter Movies and Hembeck 6, among other items, in this period.)
The X-Men Chronicles was a hit for FantaCo Enterprises in 1981. We had printed 50,000 copies and had presold at least 35.000 to the distributors. And not only did it also sell as an individual item in the store and in the mail order, we were able to trade some for Marvel, DC and other companies' product, particularly underground comics from Last Gasp, a company our comics distributor, Seagate, wasn't dealing with.
So what do we do as a follow-up? We decided to do two books, the Daredevil Chronicles, which Mitch Cohn would edit, and the Fantastic Four Chronicles, which would be my baby. I'm not going to talk much more about the former, except that I thought it was terribly Frank Miller-heavy. One of the Mullaney brothers from Eclipse Comics, Jan or Dean, apparently agreed; he wrote to say he read the book and threw it in the trash. (The letter, I think, appeared in the Spider-Man Chronicles, or maybe the Avengers Chronicles.)
The stuff below in italics is directly from my journal:
September 2, 1981: I call John Byrne, who agreed to write an article and do a centerspread, in addition to the front cover. And I called Jack Kirby, who agreed to fill out a questionnaire about the FF. "What a coup!" I wrote.
October 16: George Perez agrees to do the back cover for the FF book.
October 22: Receive Byrne front cover, centerspread and article.
November 5: Call Jay Zilber re: Wein/Wolfman interview. Then called Jack Kirby re: Q&A - he said he couldn't answer questions re: FF, Marvel, only re: new projects. I panicked and got upset and angry. By that point, we probably had sent out info on the book to the comic distributors, indicating its content.Mitch calmed me down & said "Why don't you do interview on Kirby now with a caveat. He [Kirby] agreed to that & also said I could use the rather nasty stuff re: FF 236 & his lack of prior knowledge that it would be used. Typed up new questions.
November 18: Michael Hobson of Marvel called to OK licensing on the FF and DD books, and that the company had "no problem" with the non-licensed X-Men Chronicles.
November 23: Get Kirby response.
December 17: I was going to do some editing (e.g., Joe Fludd's lengthy piece, Jay Zilber's just-arrived article), but instead spent most of the day looking unsuccessfully for a letter from Mike Hobson of Marvel giving us permission for licensing, which Tom needs for another bank loan.
O.K., I lied. I AM going to talk a little about Splatter Movies. This was a book written by an author named John McCarty that was really Tom's baby; Mitch, Raoul and I were all a bit disturbed by it, although I did end up up proofreading it. And it turned out to be the most profitable thing FantaCo published in my tenure there. But at $8.95, it was initially a slow road selling to our distributors, who, after all, were comic book folks. This created a cash flow problem, for which the loan was to address.
January 3, 1982: Type the FF checklist at home while I watch football (Cincinnati beat the Bills, the 49ers beat the Giants; I doubt I was happy about that.)
January 7: I assume we found the Hobson letter eventually because Tom was able to secure $25,000 note from the bank so we'll be able to pay $8700 printing bill for Splatter Movies.
January: Get various articles and artwork, not including Perez back cover. At some point, I call John Byrne, who allows us to use the front cover as the back cover as well, for free. Byrne was not universally loved, but I always had very good dealings with him; the FFC was not the last time. After the covers go to the printer, Perez cover FINALLY shows up, and I end up replacing content from one of the inside covers. (I'm thinking it was a Joe Fludd piece, because it seemed ironic that such a Perez devotee would be bumped by Perez himself.)
January 26: Tom called accounts (Bud Plant, NMI, Pacific). We now have fewer than 100 out of 50,000 X-Men Chronicles, and anticipate print runs of 70,000 each for FF and DD (the latter, eventually set at 80,000).
March 1: Start shipping out FFC, DDC orders, which takes a week, between the wholesale and retail orders.
March 5: Tom had made up 100 copies each of FFC and DDC in white paper stock, rather than newsprint. Gave 25 each to Mitch and me, 2 each to Rocco and Raoul. Somewhere I still have some of these.
March 15: Returning artwork, paying contributors, sending out review copies.
March 22: For Spider-Man Chronicles, got a Fred Hembeck to interview Roger Stern.
March 26: Mitch called Jim Shooter, who told Mitch in no uncertain terms ("What the f*** were you guys thinking about?") that they at Marvel were unhappy with the Chronicles series, that there can be no licensing in the future, and that we'd "better be careful" in the future...No [more] Chronicles would be disastrous because another loan was contingent on publishing them...Tom called a patent attorney.
Oddly, a couple months later, there WAS further conversation with Mike Hobson about licensing, but nothing ever came to fruition, and the Avengers and Spider-Man Chronicles came out license-free, with no hassle from Marvel. We DID have another legal tussle, however, but that's for another day.
In retrospect - let's hear it for retrospect - I should have either 1) called Marvel about the content of the Kirby interview or 2) pulled the Kirby interview. The former just didn't cross my mind. The latter did, but I was resistant because it would have meant resoliciting the FFC to the distributors and a costly delay.
I wrote this today for two reasons. One: FantaCo's birthday was August 28, 1978; the store survived 20 years. The other is that Jack Kirby's birthday was August 28, 1917, which means he would have been 90 today; he passed on February 6, 1994. Here's a picture of Jack from the 1982 San Diego comic con, taken by Alan Light.

Man, I read that mag so many times during my formative years that it started to fall apart. Even hung that Byrne centerspread on my wall. Thanks for the fantastic read, Rog! Shame to hear Shooter the Shmuck pretty much derailed the entire project down the road, as I felt the mags were only getting better with each attempt (the Spidey one with that great Stern interview probably is my favorite).

Man, I love those old Chronicles books. While there were a few odd items (eg. the Inferior Five article in the X-Men book), and the Daredevil book was admittedly a little Miller-heavy, they were comprehensive and well researched. I especially appreciate the checklists, I still use them occasionally to factcheck some odd bit of trivia. I wish someone would publish something like it today. Although, with the Chronicles covering roughly 20 years, and roughly 25 years having past since, the volumes would be positively massive!!!

And as I recall, those last two
Chronicles (Avengers and Spider-Man) just featured a generic Chronicles logo, not the characters' like the earlier ones did. Was that to appease the licensing people?
I love reading history of this period. Thanks!

Anon- I thought that Inferior Five story was SO off the wall that I loved it.
Nik-If I find my stash, remind me to send you a copy of the FFC.
Chris-You betcha it had to do with licensing or the lack thereof. But I thought they looked nice, esp. the Spidey book.

I got both the Fantastic Four and the Avengers issue, both bought for the Perez artwork, more then twenty years after they had first come out. Even at so late a date the articles were still interesting and relevant, especially the interview with Roy Thomas and another FF writer complaining about Byrne's art and writing on that title, finding it disrespectful of their own efforts.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Orioles starter Jake Arrieta sparkled, striking out nine batters and giving up just five hits in eight innings Wednesday night to shut down the New York Yankees in a 5-0 win.
Arrieta (2-2) didn't allow a walk, throwing 76 of his 111 pitches for strikes, and Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth inning to finish off the shutout.
Matt Wieters and Nick Markakis hit solo homers for the Orioles, who won the last two of the three-game series after starting the season 0-4 against the Yankees.
"It's nice to beat teams in your division and be able to gain that full game," Arrieta said.
New York starter Ivan Nova (3-1) was knocked around for five runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 innings to take his first loss in five starts this season.
"I just made bad pitches and location, that's why I got hit," Nova said.
Yankees third baseman Eric Chavez was taken out of the game during an at-bat in the fifth inning with whiplash and a possible concussion. He was replaced by pinch-hitter Eduardo Nunez.
Chavez had hit the ground hard diving for J.J. Hardy's double down the line leading off the top of the inning and was seen grasping the left side of his jaw in the dugout. The Yankees said he would undergo further tests.
The Orioles loaded the bases with two outs in the first inning, but Nova escaped the jam.
Wieters then led off the fourth inning with his seventh homer of the season, knocking Nova's 2-0 changeup over the wall in right field to make it 1-0.
Alex Rodriguez's singles in the first and fourth innings were the only hits allowed by Arrieta during that span.
The Orioles pushed their lead to 2-0 on Robert Andino's RBI single in the sixth inning to score Chris Davis, who had drawn a leadoff walk then gone to third on a wild pitch and Nick Johnson's ground out.
Baltimore knocked Nova out of the game during a three-run rally in the seventh inning.
Markakis hammered his third homer of the season into the second deck past right field and Wieters chased Nova with an RBI double. Nick Johnson added an RBI single off Clay Rapada to make it 5-0.
The Orioles, who have won eight of their last 10, continue a six-game road trip with a weekend series in Boston starting Friday...The Yankees have lost five of eight and will start a four-game series against the Royals in Kansas City on Thursday.
The most decorated position in the history of the Buck Buchanan Award is linebacker.
The Eliminator Round in the new Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins this weekend at Martinsville Speedway, with the playoff field now trimmed to eight drivers.
The Washington Redskins placed linebacker Brian Orakpo on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday.
One pitcher came into the World Series with a reputation for pitching well in big games.
Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler has a sprained thumb and will miss Friday's preseason finale against Minnesota, the team said Tuesday.
It's not even two weeks into the NHL season but the walls already are closing in on Paul Maurice and the Winnipeg Jets.

MEDFORD, Ore. -- Lindsey Lahr went to Salem on Wednesday afternoon in hopes to get a bill passed to make pulse ox screenings mandatory for newborn babies.
She succeeded.
She told News 10 this afternoon that Senator Jason Atkinson, R-Salem, will sponsor her bill.
Lahr went to Salem to get a bill passed in honor of her two-year old son Kaleb. Kaleb was born at Three Rivers Hospital in Grant Pass two years ago. Just hours after he was born, his parents noticed that he was breathing fast, so the nurse came in and gave him a pulse ox test. This test showed the Lahr's and the nurse that their son was deprived on oxygen from his neck down. If the parents would have noticed his condition any later, Kaleb probably wouldn't have made it.
Lahr feels that this could have been avoided if Kaleb received a pulse ox screening right after he was born. That is why she went to Salem to try and pass her bill, Pulse Ox Oregon Kaleb's Law, to make it mandatory for all hospitals for give newborns a pulse ox test, so other families can avoid what her family and what Kaleb went through.

Prepeat Printer Erases Printed Documents And Reuses The Paper
It might seem like magic, as the narrator states in the below video, but I assure you it isn't. The Prepeat printer – as in repeat – uses a special type of plastic paper that can be printed on over and over again without any degradation in image quality. The printer uses a special thermal head to erase the document and then in the same pass prints the new document.
Cost has to be off the charts, but if the documents can remain in a designated area, as in an office, this might not only be a way to appease the Eco Nazis, but your company's CFO as well.

Jennifer Stark can see an easy riposte from a mile away.
She sees rejoinders, rebuttals, cracks in the foundations of faulty arguments, and she's not afraid to point them out. Coaching debate will do that. And coaching it well, as Stark found out earlier this month, will also result in netting one of the most coveted accolades in her particular sphere: national recognition as a National Forensic League diamond coach.
"I've been really blessed to have this kind of success," said Stark, who is in her seventh year as the debate coach at Ralston High School. "Since my very first year, I've had some of the best kids in the world come through this room, full of intelligence and wit and passion. Those are the kids that have made Ralston a place on the map when it comes to high school debate."
Earning a diamond award as a coach is tied to the performance of the debaters on the coach's team. For every point a debater earns in competition, his or her coach earns one-tenth of a point.
The first diamond award is given when a coach reaches 1,500 points — that's 15,000 points earned by that coach's debaters. A second diamond is given at 3,000 coach points and a third diamond for 6,000 points. The awards can also only come in five-year intervals.
Stark is the first RHS debate coach to earn a diamond award since Charles Tichy, who coached debate at Ralston for 20 years and won multiple diamonds.
"It was quite a shock," Stark said of the moment she found out about the award. "I don't keep track of my points. The debaters do, but I didn't have any idea. Really, I owe it to them."
Her debaters are quick to rebut.
"She's always there for us," said Grant Brown, a freshman Lincoln/Douglas debater. "Whether we've won or lost, happy or sad, she's there for help and support and encouragement. She's kind of like a mama to us."
Stark wears the label as a badge of honor.
"I am the Mama Bear," she said with a laugh. "They're my cubs. It's what they call me. We all spend so much time together, it's like a family. And I think that I am protective of them like a mama bear would be. They've got my back, I've got theirs."
Freshman Maggy Morris also said she feels the comparison is apt, given the warm, inviting and intellectually and emotionally stimulating atmosphere Stark promotes in the debate classroom.
"Ms. Stark has the ability to brighten and influence everyone around her in a positive way," Morris said. "For example, if you or a teammate has a bad round or you perform not so well, then Ms. Stark will immediately come to your side and talk it out with you, providing comfort and brightening your mood overall. Ms. Stark has not only made debate a fun and life-changing activity, but also a second home for all of us debaters."
What goes for debate in the animal kingdom also finds metaphoric purchase in the world of sports. After all, Stark is a coach. Walking into her classroom as debate practice ramps up is akin to watching the football team go through drills or the softball team take infield.
On a recent practice day, as several of her public forum debaters went through their orations, she stood just to one side. A debater reached a weak point in his argument and cast a sidelong glance at the coach.
"Leave it out," Stark intoned. "Leave it out."
The debater immediately picked up the next point. Stark nodded some assent and proceeded around the room to other students.
"Debate is a sport in its own right," she said. "It's twice as long as a sports season, going from October to March, then there can be national competitions. It's draining, both physically and mentally. These kids leave no stone unturned in their preparations. It's what any good athlete would do."
Kurt Cronican, who was the No. 1 player on the RHS tennis team in the fall and is a returning qualifier for the National Catholic Forensic League's National Tournament in Lincoln/Douglas debate, said from his perch behind the podium, Stark is working any debate tournament like a good coach works the game.
"In tennis, I have to think about who I'm playing against," Cronican said. "Stark is usually already steps ahead of us in that. She finds out who we're facing, what the judges are like, what the style of it's going to be and she keeps us in the game like that. She keeps us calm. Other debaters have a partner. In Lincoln/Douglas, we're all alone out there. She's the one we can lean on."
Prior to being named the RHS coach, Stark said she did not have any experience with debate. She vividly recalled her first session with her first team.
"I think that first practice, they were talking about Article 4 of the Voting Rights Act and it took me a good minute to figure out where this was all going and all the different angles and politics they were working into it," she said. "This was Day One. I thought, 'What am I getting into?' My jaw was on the ground. At the time I couldn't imagine how I was going to do this. Now, I can't imagine not doing this."
Neither can her debaters. Many of them marveled at her ability to coordinate debate, her role as a National Honor Society sponsor and a sponsor of the school's Gay-Straight Alliance.
"I can't imagine life without debate and Ms. Stark," sophomore public forum debater Andrew Stone said. "She's such an advocate for us and for other groups. She's shown us a way to be better students, to be more engaged with people, to be advocates for our own causes."
Stark will receive the diamond recognition at the National Forensic League's National Speech and Debate Tournament in Overland Park, Kan., in June, when she also hopes to have at least a few of the 23 debaters on her team competing against the best of the best just down I-29.
Until then, Mama Bear stays busy, protective of her ever more perspicacious young.
"I laugh every day," she said. "Even on the worst day, by the end of debate class or practice, it's all worth it to work with the most intelligent kids in the school."

Insurance coverage even if you make a mistake
An insurance policy marketed to over-55 travelers reduces the risk that a claim will be denied.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The older you get, the trickier it may become to buy emergency medical insurance for travel. It's not just the cost that keeps going up. So does the risk a claim will be denied.
You may have more medical conditions to remember and disclose when applying for coverage. You may be disqualified for coverage because your doctor has increased or reduced a prescription, or because of signs that a medical condition has become unstable.
But Ottawa-area insurance broker Bruce Cappon points to one travel medical policy from Travel Underwriters of Richmond, B.C., that will limit the risk of collecting nothing. Quest Travel Insurance has been marketed with little fanfare since 2008 to those older than 55 and younger than 90.
One policy provision would protect you if you fail to disclose medical conditions on the medical questionnaire. You would remain eligible for up to $5 million in medical costs but you would have to pay any extra premium owed, plus have an extra $10,000 deducted from payments for each condition you had failed to disclose.
Two other provisions allow you to pay extra to get a reduced level of coverage — $150,000 instead of $5 million — for medical conditions that arose, were unstable or required treatment shortly before you travelled.
That coverage limit might not be enough to cover some emergencies, and there are situations when the optional coverage would not apply, so a careful reading or explanation of the policy will be necessary.
A Guaranteed Stability Option, for 40 per cent more, extends coverage to medical conditions that existed prior to departure. A Future Stability Option, for 10 per cent extra, provides coverage for conditions that had been stable for a required number of months (three, six or 12 depending on the condition) before the policy was purchased, then became unstable after you bought the policy.
Both options become invalid if symptoms of a condition, other than a minor illness, arise or a medical consultation is required or takes place on the day of departure, or seven days prior to that day. In addition, neither option will provide for coverage of a medical condition if you have been waiting for treatment, diagnosis, consultation, examination, tests or test results.
Cappon, who lives in Gloucester, near Ottawa, but continues to service Toronto customers through his company First Rate Insurance, says a Quest stability option has proved beneficial for one client who had a medical emergency.
But a Quest policy would not have been a better choice than staying home for one 89-year-old Ontario man who was treated in Texas earlier this year for a heart condition. The Toronto Star has reported previously that RBC Insurance denied his claim.
The Quest policy might have helped if all he did was fail to disclose he was on medication to lower his blood pressure. But, as an RBC official and a family member have disclosed, he saw a specialist about chest pains before leaving, and left before receiving tests that showed he had congestive heart failure.
"If you are required to have tests, and you either don't have the tests done or you leave before getting results, you are not covered for anything related to those tests," says Will McAleer, director of business development at Travel Underwriters.
McAleer notes his company only deals with brokers who have experience selling travel medical insurance to be sure the Quest policy or other alternatives are explained properly.

Hall Financial Group's Laurie Biddle was awarded the Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) 2012 Outstanding Achievement Award on Friday at the industry group's annual holiday luncheon at The Ritz-Carlton in Uptown Dallas.
Biddle was chosen for the award based on her work in the real estate community. She moved to Dallas from Austin six years ago and used CREW to network and become a part of the industry.
"Never underestimate your touches or your value as a CREW member," Biddle told hundreds of CREW members and luncheon attendees. "Your touches may not always be seen, but they are impactful."
Biddle was a finalist among two others: Kennis Ketchum, president and owner of Portfolio Development LLC, and Tiffini Miller, manager of commercial development for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Other awards were given at the luncheon, including Outstanding New Member Award, Most Valuable Player Award, as well as an individual and company award for promoting career advancement for women.
Amy Stanfield of Prudential Asset Resources won Outstanding New Member Award, Kaye McCallum of Interprise Design won the Most Valuable Player award, and Michele Wheeler of Jackson-Shaw won the individual award for career advancement for women.
Dallas-based developer Jackson-Shaw also won the company award for career advancement for women, with three of the 10 top executives being women, including Wheeler, who was recently named president of the company.
There were two company awards given, the second one was awarded to Jones Day for its promotion of women within the law firm.

How Old Are Your Ears? Find Out With This Hearing Test.
If you're anything like us, you haven't heard the high-pitched tones of a hearing test since fifth grade. Remember how proud you were to raise your hand at the nice lady every few seconds to indicate everything was coming in loud and clear? Well, prepare to feel a lot less proud. The folks at AsapScience are here with a hearing test to show that even if you're smarter than a fifth-grader, you probably can't hear as well as one.
The video starts with a pitch of 8,000 Hz, which every non-hearing-impaired person under 500 ought to be able to hear, and cranks up the dial till it reaches 19,000 Hz, which you probably can't hear unless you're under 20, or a dog. Why are hearing tests always made up of annoying squeals rather than regular sounds? As the narrator explains, sound waves break and bend the hair cells that transmit sound through the ear canal. And as it happens, the hair cells in charge of higher pitches are the first ones hit by incoming sound, so they're the first to go. The older you are, the less annoying the background noise on an airplane gets, because you simply can't hear it.
Be sure to play the video at 1080p (yes, the sound quality is linked to the picture quality) and while wearing headphones. You can change the video's resolution by clicking on the little gear symbol in the bottom right of the screen. Or don't watch the video at all, if you'd rather not find out your ears are 12 years older than they should be, like mine. I knew those years as a roadie for GWAR would catch up to me.
