U.S. Money Funds' Deutsche Bank Holdings at Lowest Since 2011Nicholas Dunbar and Alberto Fuertes
The 10 largest U.S. prime money market funds' holdings of Deutsche Bank AG securities declined to the lowest in almost two years as Germany's biggest bank cut its reliance on short-term financing.
The funds' holdings fell to $10.5 billion at the end of April, down $3.2 billion from the previous month, according to a survey by Bloomberg Brief: Risk Newsletter. That's the lowest since at least August 2011, when the survey began.
Some 9 percent of Deutsche Bank's 1.1 trillion-euro ($1.4 trillion) funding base now comes from so-called discretionary wholesale funding sources, a category that includes money funds, down from 12 percent at the end of 2011, according to an April 29 presentation to shareholders by the Frankfurt-based lender. That day, the bank announced a 5 billion-euro plan to boost capital through debt and stock sales.
Deutsche Bank had 230 billion euros in liquidity reserves on March 31, according to its filings. Deutsche Bank spokesman Armin Niedermeier declined to comment.
Basel III liquidity rules make money funds less attractive funding sources for European banks seeking to back assets that are harder to sell. Under the rules, which European Union lawmakers agreed to implement in March, banks must only hold liquid assets against wholesale-funding liabilities with maturities of less than 30 days.
Decline Since 2010
For the U.S. funds surveyed, the weighted-average maturity of their investments was 53 days. The funds held $187 billion of short-term securities issued by European banks at the end of April, down from $329 billion in 2010. The European banks with the most securities held by the funds are Credit Suisse Group AG of Switzerland, France's Societe Generale SA and Sweden's Svenska Handelsbanken AB, with holdings of $18.8 billion, $16.4 billion and $13.7 billion respectively.
The funds surveyed were Fidelity Cash Reserves, JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Fidelity Institutional Money Market Portfolio, Fidelity Institutional Prime Money Market Portfolio, BlackRock TempFund, Federated Prime Obligations Fund, Schwab Cash Reserves, Western Asset Institutional Liquid Reserves and Dreyfus Cash Management Fund. Together, the funds managed $687 billion in assets as of the end of April, including repurchase agreements backed by government debt.

Yaya Toure has admitted that he almost joined Inter in 2007, but opted for Barcelona instead.
The Manchester City midfielder has claimed that he nearly signed for the Nerazzurri six years ago, and went on to praise Roberto Mancini.
"I was offered the chance to go to Inter when I was at Monaco," he told Extra Time.
"Mancini followed me from 2007, and wanted me in Milan, but I chose Barcelona instead because it was always my dream to play for them.
"Mancini helped me a lot when I arrived in England. He taught me so much and is one of my best friends in football."
The Manchester City man also spoke of his former teammate Mario Balotelli – who left the Etihad Stadium for Milan in January.
"I was sorry when Mario left. Here in England he was attacked from anything."

QC road project to ease traffic
- Written by Cory Martinez
- Published in Metro
- Read: 628
TO ease the movement of traffic along Quirino Highway in Quezon City, a new road project that would cut across Mindanao Avenue will soon be implemented.
This was disclosed by Mayor Herbert Bautista who said that the city government is looking into the possibility of acquiring certain private lands in Bgys. Bagbag and San Bartolome in District 5 which are needed for the road project.
The mayor said that since the proposed project will cut across certain private properties, the city will also be negotiating for the road rights of way.
In this regard, Bautista said the city will be requesting Congressmen Christopher "Kit" Belmonte and Alfred Vargas for support.
"A study on the traffic movement along Quirino Highway is imperative with the impending road widening of Gen. Luis Street by 2016," the mayor said.
Quirino Highway is considered as the gateway to the northern part of the city and also being used by motorists bound for the 'bukid' area of Caloocan City and San Jose del Monte in Bulacan.

Product Protection: 4 Innovative Tamperproof Asset Tag Designs
In an effort to file a warranty claim, consumers may switch working parts with damaged ones or remove labels that clearly identify the unit. Resulting fraudulent warranty claims can quickly add up and dig deep into the yearly profits for your company. If you offer a warranty with your products, you need to make sure no one tampers with the internal components during the protected period. Otherwise, you will not be able to enforce anti-tampering rules that instantly void the provided warranty. Luckily, you can attach specially designed asset tags to your products to keep the internals sealed. Here are four tag designs you can consider for your products. Void Imprint The void imprint asset tag comes in several different iterations. One of the most popular designs turns the void imprint visible in a rainbow of colors when the tag is peeled back off the item. Another leaves a stamp of the void characters on the surface of the item upon removal. The bright design makes it immediately obvious that someone attempted to open or alter the unit. Despite the underlying design, the top of the tag can include the item's serial number, model number or manufacturing information. You can also place your company name, logo or contact information on the tag. Checkerboard Pattern You can have tags printed with checkerboard slits across the surface so that they fall apart when peeled back off the surface. The adhesive on the tag keeps the tag intact during the initial application process. After that, it is impossible to remove the tag in one piece. Your warranty fulfillment team can still remove and replace this type of tag without damaging the item. Your team may use a gentle solvent to dissolve the adhesive on the tag to remove all of the tiny pieces. Replacement of the tag keeps the unit sealed for the rest of the warranty period. Fragmented Removal Tags made from thin paper and adhered with a strong adhesive are impossible to pull back in one piece. You can only scratch off these tags using a plastic scraper or fingernail. A thick layer of adhesive residue usually marks where the removed tags were located. Furthermore, asset tag manufacturers do not sell this type of tag directly to consumers for printing, which cuts down on the number of people attempting to print their own replacement. Label each tag with its own internal code linked to the device's serial number of another layer of protection. Unique Shape Asset tag manufacturers also sell stickers in unique shapes to product manufacturers and company owners. These die cut labels are made to order with your logo, company name and product information printed on each one. You can also order these tags in any color shade or combination of tones imaginable. Consumers cannot attempt to copy your tag design since most printable sheets only contain rectangular shapes in plain colors. Obtaining Your Perfect Tags You can often ask for a sample of asset tags to see how each one works on your products. Put the tags through the testing process to determine which ones provide the most protection. Also, experiment with placement areas to create the best seal. You will want to attach the tag in a way that prevents opening of the case and...read more

In the digital media world, design involves a broad and exciting array of tasks. The demands faced by designers are complex and at the same time fascinating, since the variety of media and the high volume of information require not only a steady stream of new ideas and creativity, but also clear conceptual thinking and process-led working methods. [+]
Using cross-media media channels, multi-layered content must be transformed into visual images and stories, in a way that appeals to the emotions of users and recipients and conveys the message clearly. Curiosity, openness and fresh ideas are the hallmarks of a good media designer, as well as artistic creativity and visual imagination. And the willingness to think through all facets of the set task, and to develop conceptual solutions, before beginning the design. Lateral thinking is required, especially in cross-media projects.The interdisciplinary programme of the Media and Communication Design course gives you the tools to master the whole spectrum of visual communication as an all-rounder with specific subject knowledge.Our fields of study - animation, game design and media design - offer you the chance to focus during your studies on whatever interests you the most personally. During your studies, theoretical/methodological knowledge is combined with in-depth technical production know-how and practical applications, using real tasks in graphic design. In principle this means that the whole media economy is open to you at the end of your studies. The university is not just one of many possible places to learn. Practical exercises, an intensive exchange of ideas with real industry professionals, and authentic teaching projects are as important to us as the teaching of theoretical principles. This is what students really appreciate about MHMK.... [-]
The Design Management Degree Program combines the concepts of design and management in a holistic way. Here design is not to be understood as artistic work, but rather as a fundamental way of design thinking and innovation in a managerial and leadership context. [+]
This interdisciplinary programme gives you the tools to master the whole spectrum of visual communication as an all-rounder with specific subject knowledge. The duration of the study programme is 7 semesters, including one semester abroad and one in a company of your choice. As a student you will participate in several design competitions and work on projects for companies. [+]
Does good design function the same in every country? What should be considered when designing international advertising campaigns? Do aesthetic qualities change at the borders? In the English-language Bachelor programme in Media and Communication Design, students learn to deal with these issues.
Designers are increasingly challenged to think and work with an international mindset. Against the backdrop of global design challenges, you will learn the entire spectrum of visual communication and test yourself in the areas of image editing, typography, layout, or screen and interface design. Your own personal interests can shape your project work accordingly. Through the English-language teaching and the international orientation of the curriculum, you will meet the qualifications for a professional position in the international field of design. You will be needed everywhere where an international design perspective is required - both in Germany and abroad.... [-]
Film-makers are story-tellers. They give visual form to the themes which touch us as humans. They create pictures and dialogue and build up intense, atmospheric moods for the viewer. Whether they're scriptwriters, cameramen or cutters, their work always involves artistry. But the art of film-making also requires a high level of expertise, technical know-how and project management skills. Film-makers are all-rounders who take responsibility and organize themselves, from the initial idea right through to distribution. [+]
The comprehensive course of study at MHMK gives you the best possible preparation for finding and claiming your individual place in the world of film and television. We deliberately emphasize the strengths of traditional narrative cinema, fictional and documentary perspectives and forms. Feature film, documentary or short film, advert, video clip or music clip – the Bachelor of Arts qualification comprising scriptwriting, cinematography, post-production, production and directing opens all possible options to you.The university is not just a place for learning. Practical exercises, an intensive exchange of ideas with real industry professionals, and high-quality workshops on special topics are as important to us as teaching theoretical principles.

With updated PCI security mandates on the way, the PCI Council considers new data-protection methods.
Marty Tippin and his wife started AllThreads.com seven years ago, selling materials to embroiderers and others who like to work with needles and sewing machines. Tippin is a software engineer who handles the back-end technical tasks for the mom-and-pop site.
But there was one thing Tippin eventually decided he could not deal with himself: Making sure the site has the technology and protocols in place to safeguard the transaction data of AllThreads customers.
Like merchants of all sizes that accept payment cards, whether they sell on the web or in stores, the Tippins must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or risk fines from the card brands should criminals manage to steal data and use card numbers for fraud. Merchants also face fines from acquirers for failing to comply with PCI rules or filing required reports.
With data-security requirements regularly changing, the Tippins this year hired a vendor, CRE Secure Payments LLC, to handle transaction security. The Tippins pay $50 monthly.
"I thought I could do it myself," Tippin says. "But I would have had to have gone with dedicated servers and dedicated firewalls, and there is so much documentation and auditing you need to do. The more I dug into it, the more I knew it was beyond our scope."
It is easy see why the ever-shifting sands of PCI drive retailers small and large to outsource data security. And with those sands set to shift again in the next few months, new technology that can help online retailers secure card data is moving closer to the mainstream, offering another path to PCI compliance.
More rule changes
The rule changes include one imposed by Visa Inc. and set to take effect on Oct. 1 that requires online merchants, even smaller ones that so far may have escaped strict PCI scrutiny, to deploy PCI-compliant systems for credit and debit card transactions. Punishment includes fines, higher transaction fees or frozen merchant accounts.
Then there is a new rule from MasterCard Worldwide that tells merchants in the PCI Level 2 category—generally, larger merchants, but not as big as those in Level 1—to hire outside auditors for annual PCI compliance inspections.
That's not to say all upcoming rules changes will make life more difficult and costly for merchants. The newest round of changes would enable merchants to prioritize their card security vulnerabilities, says Bob Russo, general manager of the PCI Security Standards Council, a group formed by credit card companies to manage and promote understanding of PCI. That doesn't mean merchants could ignore potential security holes, but that the council would let retailers focus first on the most important upgrades for the specific sector the retailer serves.
This new and ongoing round of rule changes—the council manages the rules while the card brands enforce them—also will include non-binding guidelines for tokenization, a technology that converts card numbers into codes, called tokens. The retailer retains those codes but keeps on hand no actual card data, which are kept by the retailer's tokenization vendor. About 30 vendors offer tokenization services, Russo says. And observers say more retailers are considering the technology, though it is difficult to say how many have adopted it.
"There is tremendous interest in using tokenization as a way to limit the scope of PCI audits. I do see evidence that more companies are actually implementing it as well, based on my client calls," says Avivah Litan, a security technology analyst at research and advisory firm Gartner Inc. "There is more interest, however, than there is experience, but the situation should change within a year so that we have large numbers of implementations."
Different vendors do tokenization in different ways, with some, for instance, masking different parts of the card numbers than others. "There is no standard for tokenization yet," Russo points out. The guidelines will offer examples of different types of tokenization and how the technology is used, and offer a checklist that will enable a retailer to gauge how close it is to compliance. Russo would not rule out an eventual PCI standard for tokenization.
Finally, the PCI Council announced in June that it will update each of its three standards every three years; one already was on a three-year cycle, but the other two were revised every two years, meaning more frequent changes to retailers' systems and practices to keep up. The council said it made the changes after merchants, banks and processors asked for more time to meet the requirements of the standards.
All this change takes places as an August report from Visa Inc., a council founder, shows that compliance rates remain high but are flat for the largest merchants. 96% of Level 1 merchants, the largest retailers, complied with the standard in the August report, virtually unchanged from the previous month. Compliance for Level 2 merchants stands at 95%. As for the two categories that include the smallest merchants, Visa said only that the compliance rates were "moderate."
Merchants that process at least 1 million payment card transactions per year, those in Level 2, can pay on average $103,000 annually to comply with PCI rules, according to an April survey of payment security auditing firms by The Ponemon Institute. Smaller retailers can do self-assessments that keep compliance costs down.
The point of PCI is to prevent data breaches, and those can be very costly. The Ponemon Institute says breaches can cost businesses $204 per customer record compromised. And a survey this year from Javelin Strategy & Research said that 43% of fraud victims avoid merchants after having personal data stolen.
Outsourcing security
Like AllThreads, some online merchants start off trying to comply with PCI on their own but then find the work too difficult or time-consuming as the sands keep shifting.
When TheaterMania.com's acquirer, the company that funnels purchase transactions into payment networks, started applying more pressure about the increasingly strict payment card security requirements some three or four years ago, the ticketing services vendor decided to beef up its protections by relying on the expertise of in-house employees, says David Stanke, chief technology officer.

Thinking you are dying of a heart attack and seeking emergency treatment only to be told you are perfectly healthy might be an embarrassing relief.
Every year more than 500,000 people are taken to hospital, often by ambulance with siren blaring, suffering from acute chest pains. But more than three out of four are discharged without a deleterious diagnosis.
Now a new blood test suggests as many as one in three of those patients did in fact have a minor heart attack. More important, when the test was introduced at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and the extra heart attack victims were treated it halved the risk of their being readmitted to hospital – or dying from – another heart attack within a year.
The new test is more sensitive than those in standard use and detected heart muscle damage not picked up by them. It measures a protein – troponin – released when heart muscle cells are damaged through being starved of oxygen owing to a blood clot blocking a coronary artery during a heart attack.
Researchers studying the more sensitive test found it detected troponin at levels four times lower than before, revealing patients with less serious, but still significant, heart damage.
Dr Nicholas Mills, of the British Heart Foundation Centre for Cardiovascular Science at the University of Edinburgh, said: "Unfortunately, the use of outdated diagnostic thresholds for troponin continues to be widespread and lowering this threshold remains a highly contentious issue among doctors. The research shows it is not just patients with major heart attacks where treatment can make a difference. Even patients with comparatively minor heart damage benefit from these treatments."
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, analysed data from more than 2,000 patients admitted to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with suspected heart attacks.
Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "Over recent years it has become clear that people who suffer heart pain but only a small amount of heart damage are at a very high risk of going on to have a larger, potentially fatal, heart attack if left untreated. This test will help doctors identify this vulnerable group of patients.
"If further studies corroborate these findings there will be considerable pressure on the NHS to adopt the new test as the standard for patients with chest pain."
More than 20 million people attended A&E departments in England last year. Up to 10 per cent of those visits were for suspected heart attacks.Reuse content

The purpose of the proposed Pathways to Independence award is to assist the candidate in developing research skills relevant to alcohol phenotypes and psychiatric genetic methods. The candidate's ultimate career goal is to function as an independent, extramurally funded researcher within an academic research institution. Specifically, the candidate aims to develop a program of research focused on the investigation of biological and psychosocial factors related to the etiology and maintenance of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorders (AUDs), frequently co-occurring clinical conditions that are highly impairing and represent major public health concerns. The K99 training phase of the award would occur under the mentorship of Drs. Kenneth Kendler and Ananda Amstadter at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics (VIPBG), one of the top research institutes in the world for psychiatric genetic research. The proposed postdoctoral training and support from the Pathways to Independence mechanism would allow the candidate to merge her existing experience in human laboratory methodologies with novel training in alcohol phenotypes, psychiatric genetic methods, and advanced data analytic techniques, allowing for the investigation of risk for co-occurring PTSD and AUDs from a multi-method perspective. The training plan includes a number of complementary approaches, such as formal coursework and didactics (e.g., seminars, workshops), individual mentorship, advanced statistical training, dissemination activities, training in the ethical conduct of researc, and experience with grantsmanship activities. The proposed K99 study, tailored with the training goals in mind, aims to capitalize on a NIAAA-funded merit award (PI: Kendler) to examine genetic and environmental factors related to PTSD symptoms, distress tolerance, and coping-oriented drinking in young adults. Specifically, the aims of the K99 study are to: (1) detect genetic variation and identify functional gene groups related to PTSD and coping-oriented drinking~ and (2) examine whether distress tolerance mediates a relationship between PTSD and coping-oriented drinking after accounting for shared genetic variation between PTSD and coping-oriented drinking. The proposed study is clinically significant, in that it would increase or understanding of genetic and environmental factors underlying PTSD-AUD co-occurrence, thereby informing the development of targeted prevention and early intervention strategies.
Approximately half of individuals seeking treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUD) meet current criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Given that individuals with co-occurring AUD-PTSD have poorer treatment outcomes, it is important to increase our understanding of the etiology and maintenance of these debilitating clinical conditions. Investigating both genetic and psychosocial factors underlying key processes in AUD-PTSD co-occurrence (e.g., drinking for self-medication reasons), has the potential to inform personalized intervention techniques for at-risk individuals.

Yes Dave. exactly right.also for the adjustment when hot .Solid -state audio equipment i should be left on 24/7 and give it 3 days at least to judge it . If it is kept being switched off/on then you will never hear the best fidelity.Valves[tube] isnt the same doesnt need as long to judge it .valve equipment heats up a lot quicker and the actual amplification is usually all valve so other parts dont need to heat up. I am talking a pure valve set up not a hybrid valve/so;id-state.Once f valves are "run in"for the first time of use the fidelity doesnt change much on switch-on only thing to watch is the bias adjustment/unequal gain which will increase distortion and every piece of valve amps are heavily dependent on the quality of the out-put transformer although in energisers they wouldnt normally be used.Reproduction should be a lot clearer and open [smaller detail heard] but that depends on not only the other mods but the quality of your other equipment.My own-build buffer is 2 individual amps with their own ott PS and an very low distortion audio chip in each /plugged into gold-plated contact sockets so chips can be changed to suite. JLH proved to his own satisfaction that at low signal voltages it was near impossible to tell the difference between them and a discrete circuit.Star earthing polyprop caps used as bypass for electrolytic caps-105 deg high quality double voltage regulators[2 stage drop in voltage] this gives me a neutral output although if some like it warm then just change the chips to suite.I should add if you are not changing the caps in the PS then at least change them [as I have done in the channel cards to 100uf-10uf as fitted is not good enough and change bypass caps to 0.1uf polyprop /soldered to the back to give room to fit the larger capacitors[side-ways] The other 2 small /very low value caps I changed to polystyrene.Duncan

that 500k resistor had better be rated for at least 400 volts.
otherwise you are going to be burning up front end fets.
Kevin- I have been running the 727-11 for over a month with no problems! The difference to the "bog standard" 727-11 is "night and day" .It is "well seeing" that Stax has cut-corners with the quality of components and the amount used.
It is "cheapskate" and not top hi-Fi just to use 1 pr of 15V regulators for BOTH channels . I am sure you know about channel overhearing via the power supply . In this case the low voltage PS to the critical input
This lowers the perceived stereo effect and openness.And that's just 1 comment /many others are there.
I listen on Stax 007-MK1s that people say can be recessed -not on my system.I go for openness and minimalism and my own build mono-buffers are on near as straight through as you can get .
If it makes people feel better then okay buy 500V -500K resistors/ or 2-250k-250V working I dont have problem with that.After ALL the mods it produces upmarket reproduction which is a mile better than the standard item.
Even the dealer in the UK whom I bought it from couldn't figure out why I was buying it as -his words-nobody buys this amp here! They all buy tube amps. But I knew what I was getting and in the future will be making some more mods. The ONE advantage that the channel circuits have is that they are so simple with little active devices in the signal path that they reproduce a clearer sound without being "processed" by many stages.
After extensive listening tests I have found that -in my ears- That I am hearing too much detail-NOT because of uneven FR as NEG-feedback flattens the FR but because of increased CLARITY-drop in noise/distortion.
I could hear analogue drum skin bounce and every vocal articulation from the singer somewhat like the OM2-009s. on my 007s-MK1 AS I like a fully musical presentation I therefore increased the feed-back resistors value to 1MEG-OHM this cured it.
I also realise this amount of detail is what a lot of people want so its "horses for courses"
In effect, increasing the value to 1 Meg Ohm does what? Increase negative feedback?
NO reduces the Neg-feedback.The reproduction was too "crystal clear"-too much feed-back for me as the sibilance was also reduced to a minute sharp point. which isnt really correct musically but it gave highly detailed reproduction .Even with the increased value of the resistors there still is a lot of detail but the sibilance now sounds "normal" and more natural.
The 727-11 circuit is not the same completely as the 727-1 or 717 although more than half is the same .The presentation in the standard version 727-11 is slightly more open than the others. I have made it [if you do all the mods] a lot more open but with much higher fidelity. achievable because of the lowering of noise/distortion.
If you just change the resistors you would hear more clearly the noise which affects the sibilance making it rougher.Some people dont like sibilance at all but in that case what you would be listening to wasnt Natural musical reproduction Just listen to a live performance in a hall or football stadium.and you will hear the difference.But there are people who cant live with it so its up to the individual what makes him/her happy.
the PS is very basic and I doubled the capacitance . But really a stablised PS is the ultimate answer. But changing the 2- 10 UF caps on each board to 100UF-400V helps[fitted sideways.Change the bypass low values to high quality poly-prop and the 2 smaller value comp. caps to polystyrene -fit both types on the rear of the PCB [to allow the 100UF caps to fit flat.
I have now spent time constantly listening and it is now exactly as I want it to be. Natural musical reproduction smooth but not too smooth so that all fine detail can be heard completely natural.Even 50s rock-n-roll not remastered to digital now sounds alive and you get a fine sense of that era.
I have a wide taste in music only not keen on jazz. and classical music played has a sense that you are part of the audience.
There is no similarity between the standard 727-11 and what I am listening to now. I have an old but upmarket record -deck and it is not too dissimilar to that- considering I use a CD player that's saying something. Reproduction is on a par with a $10000 unit.
All this can be done by anybody who knows electronic components . All you need is a digital MM to adjust the DC V+DC balance .
People dont realise that you can with some work improve the fidelity of Audio equipment beyond the makers set level. It isnt magic just a bit of work.
Hi Duncan, this is very encouraging news. With DRPs help, I think its very easy to understand your variation to the NFB or "Spritzer mod is all about.
The power supply changes are much less clear to me. It is obvious that there is need for improvement in the PS (as you've stated several times). But what specifically should be done?
You have said:
But changing the 2- 10 UF caps on each board to 100UF-400V helps [fitted sideways].
Change the bypass low values to high quality poly-prop and the 2 smaller value comp. caps to polystyrene-fit both types on the rear of the PCB [to allow the 100UF caps to fit flat.
Can you please elaborate in such a way that this can be easily replicated by someone much less knowledgeable (like myself)?
HelloNumber9-When a audio circuit is designed many things need to be taken into mind including the amount of neg.feed-back.The same applies if you change or amend an existing circuit design
The parameters of the original circuit are different from the modified circuit. The reason I do not supply photos is simple .Unusually I have never got round to buying a digital camera.
On the front of the PCB are 2- 10UF caps-unsolder them-also remove the two small by-pass caps and the 2 even smaller comp.caps.
The 100UF caps are big so must be fitted side-ways-either use stiff solid core wire to solder them in[to support them] or super glue them and use flexible wire.
On the reverse of the PCB -solder in 2 poly-prop-400V -0.01UF bypass caps-the 2 smaller comp.caps- solder in 2- polystyrene caps.same value as the old ones.= labelled-221J=220PF
This allows the large 100UF caps to be flat on the PCB.
Get back if more info required.
Just a word to let you know Number 9 still sounding great!
tried out over the days in all types of music very detailed with a realistic reproduction[sounds natural]
You get "the feel" of the atmosphere of the music it isnt just a "smooth sound" which can mean you arent hearing deep detail.and therefore cant feel the emotion in the music.
Number 9- I realise my problem is no photos . And this can cause problems in people understanding what I post.
At the first opportunity I will buy a Digital camera.

I recently compared a modified 727 (original version of the mod) against my own 717
It is a bit fiddly as I constantly need to pull out and connect everything and the gain is also different so difficult to match precisely. The volume pot is disabled in both amps.
Even so, overall I would say they are quite close in sound.
The 727 is a bit more neutral and a bit more precise in the bass so maybe has a little bit better clarity.
Instrument positioning is a little different maybe the 727 has a slight edge again. Maybe.
But with the SR007 the modded 727 does sound a little more anemic and I somehow prefer the 717s presentation a bit more it has a slight bloom to the midrange that matches it well.
With SR Omega SR Sigma Pro and SR Lambda I prefer the 727 but I wouldn't be unhappy with the 717 either.
Considering the 717 costs less to buy and needs no fix at all to sound good (the stock 727 is quite different) it is still great value in my opinion.
Both are excellent solid state amps it would be interesting to see what else duncan1 did to his 727 and what those mods can lead to in terms of sq.

Would you expect to see similar gains in sound quality by making analogous capacitor upgrades to the SRM 007t(II)? Or is the tube circuit an entirely different beast?

Put the largest cap you like in there but it won't change how badly overdriven the tubes are.

Advertisement The rest of the exterior updates involve wheel choices and new bodyside graphics including a new "RAPTOR" sticker that should come with a free bottle of Axe body spray. Also, they've killed the graphics that we've come to un-affectionately call — "pixelated mud splash."Ford's non-cosmetic tinkering with the Raptor stops at two: a new Torsen front differential for better grip and the front camera, which can be turned on at speeds below 15 mph and uses the navigation screen to show you your front approach angle in place of a human spotter.

I hate the leathers on my aussie.
Want to try out a pair of western fenders and see if it will work.
Looking for 30$ shipped or less.
I figured synthetic would be cheap.. but if you have beater western ones, or ones from a broken treed saddle... let me know!

shaver ran into us updating hover state on twitter as we scroll; it might make sense to suppress the synth mouse events until after the scrolling is done.
You mean until the end of a smooth scroll operation, or something else?
There are several situations where I think we should do this:
1) Smooth scroll.
2) Scrolling with momentum on Mac (even with smoothscroll disabled this happens).
3) User hasn't released the mouse button yet while dragging the thumb (not sure.
whether we can get :hover states here).
Those all sound reasonable.
I know it's rather late in the cycle, any chance on getting a fix for this in time for Firefox 9.0?
Absolutely not (you're talking less than 36 hours turnaround!). Nor for 10, or probably 11. This would be a nontrivial and somewhat risky change.
*** Bug 713313 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
*** Bug 715584 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
So one option is to just record the widget-relative position in addition to the presshell-relative mMouseLocation. And then we can check whether it's changed while our event was up, and if it has we wait on dispatching the event... That way if scroll positions change fast enough we wouldn't fire the mousemove until they stop changing. Might help with smoothscroll and maybe momentum scrolling if it happens faster than 60Hz. Probably not with the "mouse down on scrollbar and drag" thing, though: users don't move that fast, right?
(In reply to Boris Zbarsky (:bz) from comment #8)
> And then we can check whether it's
> changed while our event was up, and if it has we wait on dispatching the
> event...
I don't quite follow this part.
I'm thinking something along these lines:
1) When we first post the "do the synth mouse move" event, record the widget-relative coordinates that its presshell-relative coordinates correspond to.
2) When the refresh driver ticks, convert the presshell-relative coordinates to widget-relative ones and compare to the old widget-relative coordinates. If they're equal, do the synth mouse move. Otherwise store the new widget-relative coordinates and wait for the next tick.
How does that help? even when scrolling, those coordinates are the same.
When we come to dispatch the synthetic mouse move, we could check the ancestors of the target frame to see if any of them are actively scrolling, and if they are, don't dispatch the event, defer to the next tick. The viewport root is a tricky one since it's treated as always actively scrolling ... you'd have to modify nsGfxScrollFrameInner::MarkInactive/MarkActive to record scrolling activity but not use it.
> How does that help? even when scrolling, those coordinates are the same.
Oh, hmm. I guess now that scrollframes have no widgets that's true. I guess we could do a hit-test and see whether the frame under the mouse has stabilized or something, but that sounds like it'd still be a good bit of CPU usage. Better than now, though.
I think the second paragraph of comment #11 is quite feasible.
Yeah, I can take this.
Ah, except scroll frames are active for 3-4 seconds after the last activity, that's too long to wait for hover to be updated.
Hmm, true. Maybe a flag on the refreshdriver instead to indicate whether a scrolling operation occurred since the last refresh tick?
I think that users scroll at much less than 60 scrolls a second, so we'll still end up dispatching synth mouse moves while scrolling, just one tick later.
I have a patch that kicks off a timer when we scroll, if we get another scroll before the timer fires we restart the timer when it fires, this seems to work well.

I can do that. I avoided that because I thought rescheduling the timer might be expensive.
It'll probably be fine.

You shouldn't need to cancel since it's just one-shot. Remove this.
Made those changes and pushed to inbound.
This intermittently added an extra assertion to 467493-1.html and 467493-2.html, but I was already thinking about throwing up my hands and adjusting the numbers for bug 718564, where someone intermittently took one away on OS X, so I just adjusted both ways in https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/945b24b3522d and https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/51dd2c0a4c73
Is it disableable (e.g. via an about:config pref)?
I personally did very like previous behavior of Firefox as for hovering during scrolling and did consider it as _benefit_ over other browsers, not as something that needs to be "fixed" at all.
The only way to disable it as is is to edit C++ and make your own build.
Could the pref be implemented then? Thanks.
You could file a new bug. I don't know if there is enough demand for a pref.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed another money laundering charges against Mr. Femi Fani- Kayode.
The fresh charges were filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja yesterday.
Fani-Kayode was the Director of Media and Publicity in the campaign organization of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
Femi is already standing trial before a Lagos Division of the Federal High Court.

He is facing 17 counts of money laundering before the Lagos Division of the court along with a former Finance Minister, Nenadi Usman.
Others include Danjuma Yusuf and a firm, Joint Trust Dimension Nig. Ltd.
They were charged with unlawful retention, unlawful use and unlawful payment of money to the tune of N4.9bn.
But in the fresh charges numbered, 'FHC/ABJ/CR/140/2016', Fani-Kayode is the sole defendant.
The EFCC filed five counts in the fresh case, in which it Femi of diverting N26m allegedly received from the Office of the National Security Adviser, while Sambo Dasuki was in office.
The EFCC also accused him of using the money without going through financial institution as required under the Money Laundering Act.
The case was mentioned before Justice John Tsoho, of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday.
The prosecution team was absent at the proceedings.

Although Fani-Kayode was absent, he was represented by a team of lawyers led by Mr. Wale Balogun.
Balogun wondered why the prosecution, who filed the charges, was not aware of the proceedings.
He complained that his client had yet to be served with the charges as required.
He sought an adjournment and the judge adjourned till November 10 for arraignment.
The judge also ordered that hearing notice be served on the EFCC.
It is yet to be ascertained as to why EFCC didn't come for the hearing.

Good question.
I suspect that the term Originator's Stock (OS) means whatever the catalog
writer wants it to mean. I think generally the term is used to indicate
that the seller obtained the plant directly from, or can trace it directly
to the originator, indicating that there can be no question that the plant
is true to name. At least that's what I've always assumed it meant. Never
thought to ask. I know that the 'Gold Standard' (along with many other
varieties) I sell did not come out of tissue culture, so if we go back far
enough through all the hands my initial plant passed through, it ultimately
came from Pauline Banyai's garden. I guess I could theoretically call it
OS, but that would sure be a stretch.
The fact that a plant is not noted as (OS) does not mean that it comes from
tissue culture.

Too many disadvantaged young people are failing to transition from school to work. Their life after school is paved with uncertainty, complex choices and poor outcomes.
From time spent researching their needs and barriers to progression, as well as working with our impact-driven charity partners and co-funding one of the world's first successful Social Impact Bonds (SIB), we've found that many of this group are failing to achieve Level 2 qualifications in English and maths by 19. This means the majority are not progressing towards a Level 3 qualification, or beyond – to university, an apprenticeship, or a job.
In short, post-16 education and training is not supporting disadvantaged young people to catch-up and attain these key qualifications and therefore gain the skills they need to progress into sustained education or employment..
The particularly poor outcomes experienced by 16-19 year olds from disadvantaged backgrounds combined with recent policy changes affecting the provision they receive, has moved us to focus our attention on this group and their life after school during 2016-7.
Below are the pieces we've published about this critical issue so far, including:

1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The composite (plastic) intake manifold may crack near the thermostat housing and cause a coolant leak. Ford released an updated manifold that was reinforced to prevent a recurrence. No recall was issued for this problem but Ford did extend the warranty to seven years on some models from the date of purchase.
If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve. This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.
The EGR valve position (EVP) sensor can fail on this vehicle. The EVP sensor measures the EGR valve position and transmits the date to the engine control computer. If it fails, drivability and fuel economy can suffer, the Check Engine Light will commonly illuminate.
The throttle position sensor (TPS) may fail. Common symptoms of a defective TPS can be rough idle, hard starting, hesitation on acceleration, poor fuel economy, and stalling.
A spring in the seat belt buckle may wear or fail, causing the airbag light on the instrument panel to illuminate. Failed buckles will require replacement.
It is not uncommon for the intake manifold and/or valve cover gaskets to develop a coolant or oil leak. Leakage from the intake manifold may result in coolant in the engine oil. Coolant mixing with the engine oil severally impacts the lubrication ability of the oil. Internal engine may result if this condition is not repaired promptly.

It's reassuring to know that Tennessee still cares about Elvis Presley more than any other.Estately
If you've ever thought to yourself, "I worry for my country," perhaps you should. The real estate blog Estately recently assigned itself the task of looking, by state, at what's on America's Google-searching mind.
The results suggest that the United States has a collective brain filled with ... let's call them highly distinctive concerns.
Bear in mind the study was done by starting with a search term -- say, jazzercise -- and then seeing which state was querying that term the most (Nebraska was feeling the jazziest, in that example).
With that caveat safely in place, here are some of the findings ...
VIDEO: Is the Internet Changing Our Memory?
Care to guess which state is thinking the most about the phrase "meat is murder"? It's California! That suggests that either the state is tops for vegetarians or it's pining for the late-1980s British band The Smiths.
California is also wondering, more than any other state, what Siri looks like. But, really, who isn't?
Meanwhile, there might be something horribly wrong with the state of tattoo artistry in Nevada, as that state searches the most on "tattoo removal."
Perhaps that's less about the tattoo artists than it is about tattoo recipients. They could be the desperate web searches of remorseful people waking up on the morning after and wondering "when did I do THAT?"
Washington State is curious about tattoos, too. More than any other state, it has its heart set on getting a "unicorn tattoo." Moving right along ...
The prison business must be booming down in Arizona; it has locked up the prize for searches on conjugal visits. The state is, naturally, also the most concerned about scorpion stings.
Speaking of animals, West Virginia has won the battle over which state is most curious about ferrets, Maine has cornered the market on "cat pics" queries, and don't even try to top Idaho for Bigfoot questions.
Americans Would Give Up TV Before Internet
Of course, altering its own consciousness is never far from the American mind. New York state seems to be tops in the union for information about "glue sniffing," while Montana bests all in curiosity about "meth."
Some results make eminent sense. Which state was most curious about Delaware? That would be Delaware. Score one for state pride.
If you're wondering which state was most interested in "mail order brides," Alaska takes the wedding cake. (Hey, it gets cold up there.)
Finally, here's an easy one. Which state searches most on UFOs? New Mexico, of Roswell fame and what we might call the country's cradle of extraterrestrial inquiry.
Estately provides a look at some also-ran search terms, as well. They can be found here.

Kuwait Wealth Fund Doubles Investments in U.K. to $24 BillionFiona MacDonald
Kuwait Investment Authority, the country's sovereign wealth fund, doubled investments in the U.K. over the last 10 years to more than $24 billion.
Investment in Britain was "across all asset classes, sectors and industries," Managing Director Bader Al-Saad said in a speech in London on June 28. Kuwait Investment Office, the KIA's London-based investment arm, now manages more than $120 billion globally compared with $27 billion 10 years ago.
"Alongside the real estate subsidiary, which manages our real estate assets, we have set up an infrastructure fund which we are operating from London," Al-Saad said. The investment office "will be looking to manage more funds, in more asset classes, and in more regions of the world in the near future," he said.
The KIA, which has about $342 billion of assets according to the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute in California, holds stakes in Daimler AG and BP Plc. The fund manages Kuwait's General Reserve Fund and Future Generations Fund, and invests in local, Arab and international markets.
