While you develop your app it's really important to consider how you're going to monetize it. The idea that "if you build it, they will come" doesn't really apply to mobile monetization. You need a comprehensive marketing plan with defined targets and goals. There are so many great tools nowadays to help developers monetize and promote their apps- you just need to understand what these opportunities entail. Follow these Do's and Dont's to avoid common mistakes developers make when impulsively monetizing an app:
- Consider Freemium– The first big question most app developers face when considering a monetization strategy for their app is whether to charge for their apps. While the pay-per-download business model might be right for some apps, it's unadvisable for most developers. In the current market state, users are reluctant to pay for an app, even it's a (symbolic) fee like $0.99 (99 cents). The majority of apps are free and look to create an audience that developers can then monetize. With an engaged user base, developers can monetize their app in all kinds of ways; offering in app purchases and serving ads to their users are the two most popular methods to do so.
- Discover Rewarded Ad Formats/ Integrate Creative Ad Formats:When partnering with ad networks- don't stick to the co-4vnventional. Users are used to the traditional ad formats, and are less likely to engage with them. Most ad networks have a variety of ad formats- offerwall, rewarded video, native ads along with banners or interstitials. If you can incorporate a rewarded ad format like the offerwall and rewarded video in your app, you should try it out. Monetize users by rewarding them with premium app features or virtual currency. Choose an ad network that grants the publisher control of ad placements, so you can assure you don't damage the user experience.
- Ask your monetization platform for help: Once you partner with an ad network or (different kind of monetization platform?), you join a business whose goals align with yours. They make a profit when you do. Pick an ad network that prioritizes professional, quick support; customer support is a very important factor in collaborating with ad networks. Especially if you're new to the mobile app industry, you'll have lots of questions; about integration, SDKs, ad formats, eCPMs, etc. The team behind the ads should eat, sleep and breath app monetization. Reaching out to them creates a relationship and they might in turn offer creative ideas that could maximize your app revenue.
- Assume a one-size-fits-all approach for app marketplaces: You need to strategize based on platform. Just as the coding is different when you develop an app on IOS versus Android, so is the marketing strategy. Both app marketplaces have their own rules and restrictions; ignoring these might get your app banned from one or the other! Tread carefully and consider the users behind both the Appstore and Google Play respectively; different geos, demographics, psychology,etc.
- Forget to analyze data: Until mobile advertising, advertisers had no real way to understand their viewers. There was no way to understand, much less to track user behavior. But mobile advertisers have a leg up, as they can track and measure users' experience with their app; how many people viewed it on the app store, the volume of installs and uninstalls, when users interact with ads, etc. You can optimize your ad campaigns with valuable analytics. Some ad networks even offer free reports on their SDK, meaning free data!
- Underestimate Keywords: Help users discover your app by using relevant keywords to describe your app! Use keywords that grab the attention of the search software within either app marketplace. Note that keywords in the App Store's description don't trigger the search engine but iOS developers do have the opportunity to add 100 characters worth of searchable keywords to their submissions.

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
June 13, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Recalls , Safety , Chrysler , Honda , Mazda , Nissan , Toyota It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler , Honda , Mazda , Nissan , Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models. NHTSA has received six reports – three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota – of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally. This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog : "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration." According to The Detroit News , the previous Takata inflator recall possibly stemmed from a manufacturing defect at the company's Washington state factory.

Like others, I was excited finally getting my BMCC and immediately put it for a "documentary shooting style" test.
In this test I wanted to see how easy it was to work with the camera (operating and ergonomicaly wise).
I chose shooting in ProRes with colour "backed in". I also decided to shoot in relatively harsh conditions and throughout the day as you can see with the changing lighting conditions.
Let me start from the end…
The BMCC is to my opinion a "niche" camera and has a very specific usage. It will never serve as my main camera.
For documentary shooting style, RAW is not an option. ProRes is great but the way the BMCC is built, functions and handled, makes it very hard to operate. At the end of the day the main reason to buy this camera is its price tag/recording formats. If you are whiling to compromise on a camera with a small sensor and functionality limitations (hope most can be fixed in a future firmware update), then it is the camera for you.
For me it wasn't, hence it was sent back to my dealer.
In this test:
Footage shot on ProRes, PAL 1080/25p
Editing software: Adobe Premiere CS6 (no colour grading done, playing with contrast and brightness only and yes, blacks are a bit crashed).
At 2:18, shot with Canon 1Dc
Equipment used:
Tripod-Ace L
Lenses-Canon 17-55mm, 70-200mm f4 (I could not use my Tokina 11-16mm due to the infinity focus problem between the camera and some Tokina lenses)
Shape BMCC cage
Alphatron EVF
Swit battery
Camera weaknesses:
-Small sensor
-Terrible ergonomics
-Touch screen driven menu
-Low quality LCD
-fuzzy sound adjustment and connectors
-No sound level meters
-While being able to see a picture with LUT on the camera's LCD when shooting flat, there is no way to output the LUT to an external monitor
-Not low light sensitive
-Internal battery not replaceable
-Strong moire is some filming conditions (see a sample at 00:31)
-Frame rates are limited to 30 frames per second
Camera strengths:
-RAW recording
-ProRes/DNxHD recording
-Free copy of DaVinci Resolve

Meta-cognitive Education or University Challenge? Brian Whalley Queens University Belfast firstname.lastname@example.com Do we really need examinations? or Beware External Examiners Bearing Comments NB, as well as the slide show, there are notes and references in the Notes section.
Some things Im going to cover (but not necessarily the order)* A Victorian system? A quick analysis of examinations at Level1 What do examinations do? Deep Learning Feedback in (assessment) systems Metacognition (Ill explain about this) Where should assessment fit? Criteria-based assessment Just-in-Time Teaching, preflights What type of assessment? Deep Assessment (a meaningful concept?) *Education is a highly parallel and occasional, not serial, system
Trial and error - how can we provide good learning experiences? 'You know what a learning experience is? A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that. (Douglas N Adams, 1992) Photo: Chris Ogle How to avoid the panic? Do examinations provide good learning experiences?
A Victorian system? On the basis of University Challenge (my rules) Please answer the Qs on the folded sheet, You have 3 minutes to do this This is not anonymous as your answers will determine whether you get lunch –(1 course, 2 courses, 3 courses) Ill collect them in, mark them and then tell you what you get for lunch –(or not, if you have not done your revision) But Im not going to tell you how near you got to a better meal Oh, and theres no veggie option!
Questions regarding Level 1 (semester 1): Do you have end of semester exams? Are these essay type? Two questions in 2 hours? Do these exams count towards final degree –(and if yes, what %) Do you give students guidance (or practice) on what to expect in exams? Are any essays set which are designed? Do you give students remarks or discussion on how well they have done post exams? –(and how is this done)? Do you have MCQs (or variant) rather than essays.
Assessment (some more issues) Do you want me to be the sole maker? Do you want my values despite ± 10%? Do you want a second markers values despite ± 10%? Do these values suggest you really understand the questions? Should I give you marks for just trying? What standards should I apply? And what about criteria for pieces of work?
7 Principles of Good Practice in Education: 1 Encourages contacts between students and tutors 2 Develops reciprocity and cooperation among students 3 Uses active learning technologies 4 Gives prompt and appropriate feedback 5 Emphasises time on task 6 Communicates high expectations 7 Respects diverse talents and ways of learning (Chickering and Ehrmann 1996)
6 Competencies students need to gain Competence – encouragement by challenge and remarks to achieve skills levels Confidence – promoting remarks to show themselves, and others, their achievements Critical thinking – which is what we have been wanting all along in 'Thinking skills, used in problem solving Creativity – in what students do and how they do it Collaboration – bringing in team-working and ethics Commonality – of purpose, to achieve specified (and unspecified) objectives Curtiosity – which is more than curiosity. Marcia Mentkowski Mihály Csíkszentmihályi
Itiel Dror (University of Southampton, now Cognitive Consultants International) Control – handing appropriate responsibilities to students Challenge – student abilities Commitment – student commitment to learning opportunities What might be the best ways (note plural) to develop these? But our usual question is not this. Using cognitive psychology might be a help Are these competencies, abilities and responsibilities measurable? 3 Controls on Educational Implementation
The Ten Principles of Assessment and Feedback 1.Help clarify what good performance is via aims, criteria, standards 2. Encourage time and effort on challenging learning tasks. 3. Deliver high quality feedback information that helps learners self-correct. 4. Encourage positive motivational beliefs and self- esteem. 5. Encourage interaction and dialogue around learning (peer and teacher student) (Nicol 2007)
10 principles continued 6. Facilitate the development of self-assessment and reflection in learning. 7. Give learners choice in assessment – content and processes. 8. Involve students in decision-making about assessment policy and practice. 9. Support the development of learning communities. 10. Help teachers adapt teaching to student needs. How do we use exams (and coursework) to deliver these?
What actually is deep learning Something that is promoted by the 7P, 6C, 3C, 10P Experiential? Thought-exchanging (dialogue) Game-playing Exemplar-exploring Art-expressing Problem-solving (Using the 200 hours effectively) Something that is assessed in ways other than unseen examinations?
Assessment - whats it for? Quick post-it storm (nerd-storm) –What do you think assessment is for? As opposed to what it is –How do we measure (if we are to give marks)? –Is it measurable (adequately)? In particular If we promote Deep Learning how do we produce Deep Assessment?
Criterion Referenced Assessment Provide criteria for each piece of assessed work Avoid the connoisseur approach (I know this is 57%) Show students what is needed to accomplish tasks Provide remarks with the marks Marks and remarks go hand in hand Give a sense of achievement Thus, criteria need to be assignment specific and so Link all this back to Just in Time Teaching (JITT) and After Action Reviews (AAR) –Providing proper feedback and feed-forward
External Examiners may say (after they have agreed about the marking:) –You over-assess what does this actually mean? –You have too many pieces of assessment –Why are there so many poor 2nd (3rd) answers in the scripts? –You do not have enough > 60% –Your fail rate is too high ……… What they don t (usually) ask: How do you provide feedback in this module How do students benefit from feedback? How do you assess your learning outcomes? How do you assess the skills stated for the module?
Metacognition reflecting on ones own knowledge base as well as that of students 1.What is the meaning of the musical term allegro ? A. loud, B. soft, C. quick, D. slow. 2. In Greek Myth, who is the God of wines? A. Demeter, B. Hestia, C. Artemis, D. Dionysus. 3. How many years was Margaret Thatcher Prime Minister? A. 9, B. 10, C. 11, D. 12. 4. What was Lady Chatterley s first name? A. Eleanor, B. Constance, C. Margaret, D. Elizabeth. 5. What year was the Lockerbie disaster? A. 1986, B. 1987, C. 1988, D. 1989. 6. London s population (2001) is approximately, in millions: A. Seven, B. Eight, C. Nine, D. Ten In the questions about to be revealed you have to answer as you think appropriate: A, B, C, or D BUT you will be awarded marks as follows: Correct answer 1 Incorrect-2 Unanswered 0 So you may want to pass However, later, you will have a further chance to gain marks
And a few more 7. What is the most common element on Earth ? A. Oxygen, B. Nitrogen, C. Iron, D. Hydrogen. 8. There is no Nobel Prize in? A. Physics, B. Chemistry, C. Biology, D. Medicine. 9. What year was John F Kennedy shot? A.1962, B. 1963, C. 1964, D. 1966. 10. What countries does Luxembourg have borders with ? A. Belgium, Holland, Germany; B. Germany, Switzerland, Belgium; C. Holland, Belgium, France; D. Belgium, France, Germany. 11. What was the last album the Beatles recorded together? A. Let It Be, B. Rubber Soul, C. Magical Mystery Tour, D. Abbey Road
To mark 1.When you have finished round one: Have another go for those you did not answer, this time, guess, you ll get 1 for correct and 0 for incorrect. (use a second column, different colour pen) 2.Here are the answers: mark accordingly to the two rule sets (1,0,-2) & (1,0) 3.Round 1: Negative suggests 1/3 answers were wrong - you overestimated your knowledge 4.Round 2: >25% correct suggests you should have answered more in R1 - you didn t know you knew the answers!
MCQ or Certainty? Are MCQs just glorified University Challenges? Useful for focusing expectations rather than (or just than) knowledge per se? Use them as preflights to indicate knowledge/or understanding - ie formative rather than summative.
Using metacognition Now we have learned something about your cognitive abilities - and received some remarks about the processes How do we apply this to students? –Better to give MCQs before you embark on some task to show students what they know and what they need to know –Tony Gardner-Medwin and confidence-based assessment (rather than just MCQs) –Students need to know the rules applied (in general not just MCQs) –The delayed knowledge effect (sub-conscious) EVEN! –Should exams be set well before the end of the semester so students can get remarks with their marks.
Rewarding the experience If students have problems with a troublesome concept or fail to grasp tacit knowledge do we penalise them? How do we provide scaffolding in the learning experience? (The right amount of scaffolding) If deep learning is experiential, then how do we reward it? How many marks do we give for just having done something? (Attainment) I dont think an essay or MCQ scores well –Report writing is better Use criteria referencing Treat exams as problem solving exercises
Towards a proper educational feedback system What do I mean by this? Forget about Kolb cycles and Cowan loops* or, perhaps better, use them to give a system that works for all students (and staff) Construct (with Alignment*) a system (for a module) that maximises learning and understanding (rather than memory recall) To produce proper alignment we really need more specific instructions per task/activity And to provide remarks with the marks is use a feedback in an educational control system
Feedback and Feedforward in a control system sense Do exams provide a reference input (or even output?) A MCQ might do this. Criterion Referencing might too.
Educational ramp up To raise the level of attainment We need controlled input, ramping up. –Output, achievement, results attainment Ee Marks, no remarks for Exam events Ese Ee Delayed marks and remarks for Essay event Ese T T ask set with Criterion Referenced assessment Semester start Semester end
Ee end start Attainment Ee Delayed marks and remarks for Exam event, Ee Ee Can I be more constructive? A T MR A T Task Activity Marks Remarks A T MR R Ee M A T MR Gradient = learning rate Two Activity c/work Two Activity c/work + exam How do we increase the gradient?
Delays and Troublesome Knowledge & Sticking Points Troublesome knowledge (Land) Tacit knowledge (Polanyi) Delays doing activities Sticking Points Preflights (Just-in-Time Teaching; G Novak) –Feedforward (controlled use of advance info) After Action Reviews +ve Feedback or remarks
Problem specified Manipulation of system Problem solution Clues Guidance Help Provision of Feedback on solutions Rules System Examples Procedures Task Resources Support Assessment T Tacit knowledge required S Sticking point(s) likely T S Fig 5.1 A temporal sequence describing a rule-based learning design, In Oliver et al. 2007. Describing ICT-based learning designs that promote quality learning outcomes R R
What drives learning Not the assessment (itself) –This (best) drives checking (controller in the system). Its an indicator Driving learning (+ve feedback) –Internal (student doing the activity) –External (comments from others, peers, tutor, manuals) Inhibitors to learning (-ve feedback) No remarks (feedback) Exams with no remarks (feedback) before the end of the module
If we believe in these principles of deep learning then (in general): Why do we set essay exams? –and seem to rely on closed exams? –and not used open book or seen? Why do we set exams at the end of modules? Why do we not give feedback on exams Why do we believe MCQs are ok; better? Why there are several cetls involved with active learning etc but few with Assessment? ……… and you can probably think of more
Some possible conclusions Students learn best by experience Build this into assessment Ask when, and how much, assessment is needed Start by designing the feedback which reinforces the education Use the best-fitted assessment method Do students know the criteria? Get students (esp peer viewing/discussion) to look at criteria and then the answer(s) Give exams (and remarks) before the end of the module Fit these into the 10 Principles (etc)
Gibbs and Simpsons (4) Conditions Conditions under which assessment supports students learning 11 conditions of which 4: 1. Capture sufficient study time and effort (in and out of class) 2. Are spread evenly across topics and weeks 3. Lead to productive learning activity (deep learning) 4. Communicate clear and high expectations
How might we use exams? Set questions which relate to problem solving (rather than being able to answer them by memorising) This might be solving an actual problem* By providing checks or reinforcements of what has been experienced –if not experientially learned By using criterion referencing more –Ie by showing students what we expect * which is what (tends to) happen in e.g. physics, maths, chemistry and engineering.
Finally! In the light of what I have been talking about, Do you consider that you need to reconsider your (first year) exam process? Was the discussion helpful?
Exams Jeremy? but probably not as you knew them email@example.com

Just for you, on this beautiful Sunday afternoon!
Just for you, on this beautiful Sunday afternoon!
Blimey lots has been going on over the last week, I hope it has been as hectic for you as it has been for me!
Monday started with continuing the design of the graphics for a recycling animation, a daunting task which put my drawing skills to the test. Bearing in mind I've spent the majority of the last year behind a camera, I took my time to learn the techniques I would need to use Illustrator properly. I would usually use Photoshop over Illustrator, but until I recently found out PS is not truly vector, and as I would be using a combination of the Pen tool and others to design the images this was very important, as I would need to transform the graphics later in After Effects.
My best mate Glen came down from Wycombe for a surprise week to, so I spent plenty of time catching up with him and chatting about work. He gave me so very important advice; "Everything is too complicated these days, you should keep it simple and your audience won't know the difference, especially if it is moving and animated anyway." True words, and I took Glens advice which not only sped up the process, but made me more confident with the work I was producing.
Here's a screenshot to show all of them! (I think I am working on a 10K canvas).
The graphics design has been on-going, I practiced when I was first commissioned, but it just shows how familiarizing yourself with the tools and applications can ease your work! A very very important part of this process was to intensively storyboard and plan each scene, so I know what graphics can be generated beforehand, so I spent a good couple of days story boarding and sketching the graphics I would need, followed by a long list of assets I would go on to to create.
Pre-vis sketches:
For the rest of the week I started importing the graphics into After Effects, and setting up the 15 scenes. I am finally starting to see progress! I am still working on this section, and it will take another week or so to complete all the animations. Again, I storyboarded this in the planning, so I know exactly what to produce for which scene which saves so much time. Also, the best thing about this planning part is that it does not have to be a work of art to depict your ideas, just a simple sketch to represent what you will need to create.
On Thursday I joined a crew of fashion designers, hair stylists and models to film a magazine photoshoot for Sherman Hawthorne (the hair stylist and creative director of the shoot) at The Lemonade Factory studios on Queenstown road. With eccentric styles and art direction, I set about to capture high contrast, dramatic footage which will compliment the photos. It was an early start, here I am waiting for my train at Clapham Junction;
I was a single shooter, I had the pleasure of transporting the equipment to the shoot which included a steadicam vest that I ended up not using. I've learned my lesson here not to take extra kit!
My kit list was as follows:
Canon 5DmkIII (A camera), Canon 60D (B camera)
Tamron 24-70 F/2.8 VC, Samyang 14mm T/3.1 cine, Samyang 35mm T/1.5 cine, Nikkor 50mm F/1.4 manual, Samyang 85mm T/1.5 cine, Sigma 70-200 F/2.8 OS
Manfrotto 755CX3, Manfrotto MVH700AH, Manfrotto Hydra arm and super clamp,
CamSmart camera rig + Lilliput field monitor, CamSmart Stabilizer vest, Flycam Nano
Zoom H6, Rotolight Roto-mic.
As with all of these shoots, time runs short so I was restricted to short burst of filming time with the models to capture the specific ethereal and industrial motif, but I also shot around the photographer to maximize my usable footage. I made use of the 50fps slow motion for the moving shots, so that the models movements are exaggerated, as well as stabilizing the shot.
As the props included wire fencing and chicken wire, aliasing was a problem when shooting shallow depth of field, or at an angle to the object. To remedy this I used a lower aperture (F/4-5.6) for some shots, but also I can add a Gaussian blur in Premiere Pro when editing to soften the lines, gently smoothing out unwanted aliasing.
A couple of frame grabs from the shoot!
Here I'm using a moving shot to create a distorted perspective from outside of the set.
Here I use a low angle shot, removing the identity of the model to create a 'trapped' and 'mysterious' feel to the model, and why she is in the box.
Weekends are always working weekend for creatives and freelancers. I spent yesterday working on the animation of the recycling project again, continuing to compose the scenes using simple 2D shapes and animation styles that have become very popular recently.
I also came across this post from Chase Jarvis about how to manage your time properly, its a great post with a detailed outline of 90-minute working slots that should improve your productivity, I urge you to read it if you're someone like me who can't stop working, then apply the plan to your working life. I know I will be!
Do Less = Do More by Chase Jarvis
I haven't had many #videoquestions come in recently, so please keep them coming so I can help with tips for the community of videographers and creatives! Send them over to me @Plowman91 on Twitter.
Finally, ending with a must watch video, check out Philip Bloom's video shot with the Blackmagic Production Camera, the 4K one at Miami Beach, what do you think of it? Is it worth investing now the Panasonic GH4 is on pre-order and it looks like Sony will have a 4K DSLR announcement coming at NAB2014 too..!!

That's all for now folks! Keep the creative juices flowing!
I went on a road trip around London on Saturday night with Glen, Sam, Hayden and Tom. We were passing through Hyde Park as the crowds left after watching the live broadcast of The BBC's Last Night At The Proms, gutted I missed it as the proms are always awesome, but I did get to capture the mad rush of the public trying to leave Hyde Park at around 23:30!

Today is my Dad's 60th birthday. As a tribute to him, I'm sharing pictures of the city he was born in: Munich, Germany. My father is a big reason why I love travel so much. He grew up living in various exotic locales such as Beirut, Lebanon and Baghdad, Iraq and has always had such a passion for new experiences, be it meeting new people, trying new foods or traveling to new places. And he definitely passed that trait on to me. He was the one who encouraged me to travel in college: to Spain, New York, and then Jerusalem. I'm so grateful for those experiences. And for so many other things that I'll share with him separately. Happy Birthday, Dad!

The subject of spacing devices for heatsink mounting always comes up. I already tried to explain it few times in a past that small boards are much more practical, as they offer more options in building.
It is OK to have long board (like First Watt) in a commercial product when you deal with one heatsink type only and use that heatsink in all your other products. With infamous GB offers, we sometimes deal with hundreds of boards and everybody uses different heatsinks, that's why I prefer to make boards suitable for EVERYBODY. Those who want to make it long, can simply add extention wires. I'd also like to mention that at least 200 of A30 boards have been sold in a past, 300 F4 boards and 300 F5 boards, all with a compatible spacing of devices. I simply cannot do it any other way now. Besides, those are only 30watt amps, the heat is not really an issue here. Quote:
So yes, I am considering AJ-X amp. See attached pic. I could make 2.5 x 8" board with center piece designed specifically for X version. Two side boards are breakable and fully fuctional single channels of Aleph J. I somehow need to figure out how to elegantly interface all 3 boards for X-men option. And also, it would finally be a long board I'd like to keep the price below $20 including shipping. I could also offer boards for free and simply charge $20 shipping I can use any desired pin layout for input devices (SJ74 would certainly be given priority)
www.audiosector.com Do something really well. See how much time it takes. It might be a product, a work of art, who knows? Then give it away cheaply, just because you feel that it should not cost so much, even if it took a lot of time and expensive materials to make it. - JC |

I don't think you need to make both power stage in an X breakable, though I won't object either. Just one side breakable is OK. It is IMHO better to have the break line on the non-copper side, so that the conductors will remain intact. Otherwise jumpers for the rails are not really ideal. Below USD 20 sounds good. I might want 8 if the layout suits me and price is right, but 2-4 at least. And please use pin layout of 2SJ109. As shown, 2x 2SJ74 will always fit to the 2SJ109 pin layout. Cheers, Patrick |

I would be interested if someone can tell me if my Spica TC-50 will play nice and behave themselves with the Aleph J.
Specs are around 83 to 84 dB sensitivity and is a 4 ohm design. I know Mr. Pass said he designed the J more in line with 8 ohm speakers. Does an Aleph 3 make better sense for my speakers? I have cviller's F5 boards but I'll wait on that build until I can afford a nice set of efficient speakers. |

ok Peter fair point could use extra LONG connecting wires to the devices, still not sure about the heat issue though. If you have a significant number of buyers wanting it this way then I will just have to accept it.

Hi audiojoy you dont have to mount using wires or using a very narrow chassis.
If the heat sinks are tall enough you can mount the whole pcb parrallel with the face of the heat sink. So you can use any dimension chassis (ie width and depth) as long as the heatsinks on each side are tall enough to fit the whole pcb to it (ie one heatsink per pcb). Have a look at the pictures here to give you a beer idea of what I am trying to say. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...77#post1847777 |

Hi Peter,
Could I be put down for 2? Oh by the way this would be my first post but, I've been researching this forum quite a bit in the last several months. There is a wealth of information. I'm currently collecting parts for the F5 and B1. Thanks to Jack, Cvillar, and Nelson Pass I was able to get started with the pcbs and some components. Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Eric |

Thanks Thanh
got it now--- that board was for a single channel--- thats my inexperience showing here. Just thought having opposing output devices meant it was a stereo set up. Sorry my fault , ok in that case the wire connectors would be very short indeed, or if the depth of the enclosure side panel is deep enough it should be able to fit the whole circuit board onto the heatsink!! In that case apologies for the confusion earlier on in the thread. |

Dreier appointed Las Vegas gambling writer
LAS VEGAS (AP) – Hannah Dreier, a temporary legislative and political writer in Sacramento, Calif., has been hired as a gambling and tourism reporter for The Associated Press in Las Vegas.
The appointment was announced Friday by West Editor Traci Carl.
Dreier has been the reporter on several stories while at the AP in California, including coverage of the 2012 election, Gov. Jerry Brown and municipal bankruptcies. She also wrote a story that exposed how money for a Sept. 11 scholarship fund was being misspent.
Dreier, 26, previously worked at the San Jose Mercury News, a Spanish-language weekly in San Francisco and the nonprofit news site Washington Independent. Among her notable accomplishments at the Mercury News was a series of stories about hospital policies involving illegal immigrant patients and organ transplants. The coverage prompted policy changes and helped a man get a life-saving transplant.
"Hannah has a stellar track record in producing hard-hitting journalism, and we are thrilled to have her join the AP's team in Las Vegas," Carl said.
She graduated from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. She also received a fellowship in criminal justice reporting this year from The John Jay/H.F. Guggenheim Foundation.

Immigrants' Rights and Detention
Our immigration detention system locks up hundreds of thousands of immigrants unnecessarily every year, exposing detainees to brutal and inhumane conditions of confinement at massive costs to American taxpayers. Recently, mothers and children, who are mainly asylum seekers fleeing violence in Central America, have been detained in family detention centers.
The "lock 'em up" approach to detention is contrary to common sense and our fundamental values. In America, liberty should be the norm for everyone—and detention the last resort.

I have a Nissan Versa Hatchback. That saying, the backseat being a bit smaller than that of a truck or van or SUV, this seat cover does it's job covering the entirety of my seats. But it sags slightly on the top and I can't get the straps to buckle down to anything. Despite this, I really like this cover! It seems to be of a good quality and it would be comfortable for people in addition to pets. Completely satisfied!

My two huskies absolutely love their new hammock and we love how it protects our leather seats , we do a lot of traveling and take our girls everywhere with us so we needed a reliable & comfortable covering and it has been one of the best things we ever bought.
Lobo sang about the Georgia clay sticking to the tires and the wheat fields of St. Paul and just how great it was to be a free man—just "me and you and a dog named Boo" we're the words he so eloquently sang. The real question is, 'Did the red clay tracks from ol' Boo leave him and his old lady feeling blue?' Well there really is no need to worry these days since dog seat covers are all the rage with pet owners who enjoy driving in their country but won't tolerate the toll it takes on their vehicle's interior.
When Depeche Mode sang, "I'm taking a ride with my best friend," do you think they meant them and their dog Boo? Do you think Martin Gore would be willing to risk a tear in that luxurious leather interior just so Fido could accompany him on his tour bus? What he needs, and what you need because you love both your vehicle and your furry best friend, is a great set of pet seat covers.
Check out this quick how-to guide for installing seat covers. They're a lot easier to install than you might imagine.

Background on State IT Strategic Plan
The State's Information Technology Strategic Plan serves as the voice of the Montana Information Technology Act (MITA), 2-17-523 MCA, and documents the strategies of the State Chief Information Officer (CIO). The plan is reviewed every two years to reflect new state IT goals and objectives. It provides a framework and guidance for the development of individual state agency IT plans. The strategic plan is grounded in the principles and values established by MITA. The plan reflects a cooperative effort between SITSD, agency IT managers and the Information Technology Board.

Message from the CIO Ron Baldwin
The world is experiencing exponential changes in technology in the digital age. From mobile devices and social media, to cloud computing and virtualization, information technology touches every aspect of our lives.
We are global citizens who are one tweet away from communicating instantly with our fellow citizens. The same access we have to each other is now expected in government. Online and mobile accessibility to government services and data is not only preferred, it is expected. Mobile applications and self-service web portals now allow citizens to tap into the government that serves us like never before.
This report outlines how the State of Montana is addressing these challenges and opportunities for information technology. Under Governor Bullock's leadership, transparency is just one area where the State of Montana has made strides in bringing data to the people as noted in the last Digital States Survey report. With the creation of the State's transparency portal, data portal and the business portal, citizens can access the power of data in government.
As we continue to invest in information technology that keeps pace with our global digital world, we also must invest in security to protect the data we are entrusted with safeguarding. Citizen data must be secured against the ever increasing number and sophistication of cyberthreats. Addressing cybersecurity is a national and state priority that requires a high level of collaboration and coordination.
Governor Bullock has met this challenge head on by issuing an executive order in 2015 to form the Montana Information Security Advisory Council. This is the first multi-jurisdictional forum of its kind in the State of Montana, and it is already making progress in better securing the State from cyberattacks.
Moving forward, information technology at the State of Montana must continue to serve citizens in the secure, efficient and effective manner they expect. Information technology is also a vital component in enabling the Governor's initiatives, such as the Main Street Montana project, to further educational opportunities and to create jobs. It is my honor to serve Governor Bullock and the State of Montana during this time of great opportunity.
Ron Baldwin, State CIO

Beef and Rice Soup, Mexican Style
Recipe by ciao
This soup is so different, yet so delicious. Easy to prepare, just do your chopping and measuring of spices first, then all you need to do is make the soup. I can't really describe the flavor, except to say that is like no other soup I've had before--very "fresh" tasting--your tastebuds will thank you! From Easy Meals, Mexican. Don't let the long list of ingredients put you off. Doing the prep first makes it easy--chopping your veggies, and measuring the spices. And don't say yuck to the orage zest, raisins and chocolate. It all contributes the wonderfully fresh, lively taste of the soup!
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb boneless stewing beef, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2⁄3 cup red wine
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small fresh red chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 3 -4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, grated (I use the large holes on the 4 sided grater, so the pieces don't "disappear" in the soup)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 1⁄2 orange, zest of, grated
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, not drained
- 5 cups beef bouillon
- 1⁄4 cup long grain white rice
- 3 tablespoons raisins
- 1⁄2 ounce semisweet chocolate, chopped in small pieces
- chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish.
- Heat half the oil in a soup pot over medium high heat, add the meat and brown on all sides.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and add the wine.
- Pour the meat/wine mixture into a bowl and set aside, then put the soup pot back on the heat.
- Add the remaining oil and let it heat for a minute, add the onions, stir and cover for 3 minutes.
- Then add the green pepper, chile, garlic and carrot, stir and cover, cooking for 3 minutes.
- Then it's time to add the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, bay leaf and orange zest.
- Now add the tomatoes and bouillon, along with the beef/wine mixture--bring all of this to almost a boil, when it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and cover.
- Simmer gently for one hour, stirring occasionally.
- When the hour is up, add the rice, raisins and chocolate, cover again, and simmer for another 1/2 hour, until rice is tender.
- (you may need to raise the heat up a bit) Ladle into bowl and garnish with the cilantro.

Old-Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler
No matter what season it is I tend to say it's my favorite. I guess you could call me fickle that way, but you could also say I'm always happy with the weather. I don't hate the coldness of winter, and I don't hate the hotness of summer. I love watching the leaves change color in the fall, and I love watching the flowers bloom in the spring. I don't mind rain or snow (but I do hate ice, which we get a lot of in North Carolina.) And right now I'm in love with summer. I'm in love with its squash and zucchini; its limas and green peppers; its cucumbers and tomatoes; and I'm especially in love with its fruit.
It's blackberry season - my favorite fruit every summer. I love strawberries, and I adore peaches, but when the weather turns warm and beach season rolls around I want blackberries. I want the pop of tiny seeds between my teeth, purple-stained fingertips, and the view of tiny, shiny globes that make up big, fat, summery blackberries on my countertops. Blackberries taste of warm summer mornings. They taste of home cooking. Of course I love them; they taste of summer.
And summer is, afterall, my favorite time of the year.
Old-Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler
By Confabulation in the Kitchen
Serves 6 to 8
Printer-friendly version
2 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine fruit and half cup sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk remaining half cup sugar, flour, baking powder and milk.
4. Pour melted butter into a 1.5 quart casserole dish. Pour in milk mixture but do not stir. Add fruit, but do not stir. Bake 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature, and alone or gild that lily with some vanilla ice cream, you know, "to cut the sweetness." (Name that movie, anyone?)

Abby, your photos are spectacular. What a great talent you have and your cobbler looks delicious also.
Thanks for stopping by my kitchen. It gave me a chance to meet you and find your beautiful blog. Tar heels have to stick together. I'll be back for more of your delicious recipes soon.
SamOkay, Abby...an hour ago I hope over to check out what you've made recently and what do I see? Blackberry Cobbler. Guess what my honey (& kids) brought me back from NC today? Blackberries! Picked this morning from his Dad's bushes. He brought me back 3 of the two quart baggies filled. Let's make this a guessing game and tell me what is baking up so lovely in my oven? Your cobbler, blackberry cobbler! And yes, it will be topped with vanilla ice cream. MMMM, can't wait to give it a try. Just 25 more minutes.
~ingrid- AnonymousMarch 18, 2017 at 10:05 PM
Just found this recipe this afternoon, had some berries that were too tart to eat, and made this cobbler w/ them. It was an amazingly fast recipe, seriously like 10 minutes to make it. Baked it for 50 minutes and it looked decadent. Just had it w/ the required ice cream and it did not disappoint. Thank you for the recipe.

PITTSBURGH— BEHIND his red and black Devils mask, Martin Brodeur's reactions are like a perfectly cooked rare steak -- hot to the touch outside, cool inside.
"He makes the big save when you need it," said Scott Stevens, the Devils' captain. "In the playoffs you need that type of goaltending."
In these Stanley Cup playoffs, Martin Brodeur was never so hot and yet so cool as in the first eight minutes yesterday against the Penguins when this 23-year-old goaltender with the altar-boy face was strafed by 12 shots. None got by him.
"What they did was take a lot of shots from everywhere," the goaltender was saying after the 4-1 victory that put the Devils into Saturday's opener of the Eastern Conference final in Philadelphia. "Their defensemen were throwing bombs."
Moments later one of those bombs, off Chris Joseph's stick, exploded against Brodeur's right shoulder and bounced past him.
"When you get hit that hard, it usually doesn't go through," Brodeur said. "But I never saw it until I felt it hit me."
Anything he saw, he stopped. He had 31 saves. And if the Stanley Cup is won this year by the National Hockey League team with the best goaltender, as it usually is, the Devils can order the champagne now. They won't even have to put the cases in a fridge. Just keep them on the ice inside the net behind their 6-foot-1-inch, 205-pound goaltender. Not enough pucks go in there to break more than two or three bottles.
"If anybody scores, it doesn't bother him," Stevens said of the goaltender's attitude. "He forgets about it and goes on."
With an 8-2 record in these playoffs, Brodeur has a 1.25 goals against average, the best of any goaltender. Against the Boston Bruins in the opening round, he had three shutouts while allowing only five goals in five games. In the five games against the Penguins he allowed eight goals, but only one in each of the last three games.
"I don't think about those numbers," he said. "I just know I got eight wins."
To win the Stanley Cup, he knows he needs eight more. It won't be easy. Eric Lindros and the Legion of Doom that swept the Rangers will be waiting in Philadelphia, but if Coach Jacques Lemaire's traps work as well against the Flyers as they did against Jaromir Jagr and the Penguins, the Devils will win.
"I don't think I saw Jagr once beating my defensemen clean," Brodeur said. "And my defensemen are clearing the rebounds."
He took the Devils to the seventh game of the conference final against the Rangers a year ago before Stephane Matteau scored in double overtime. When he was voted the Calder Trophy as the rookie of the year, some wondered if he would be victimized by the sophomore jinx.
But in any sport, the best players get better in their second season. Martin Brodeur is one of those players. And only the hottest and, at the same time, coolest goalies are as smooth as he is. He never appears hurried.
"That smoothness is something Martin has had from the beginning," Stevens said. "The reason he's so smooth is that he's so patient. He waits for the shooter to make the first move, then he reacts. Some goaltenders make the first move. That's why they sometimes look herky-jerky out there. But with his size and poise, Martin never looks herky-jerky."
He's not only hockey's best goaltender, he's also its best bargain. His salary during the recent season was only $140,000, the minimum. Of the 661 players in the N.H.L., only one other (Flyer defenseman Karl Dykhuis) had that small a salary.
Under hockey's new collective bargaining agreement, Brodeur will be eligible after the playoffs for retroactive arbitration. He is expected to receive the maximum award of $850,000, which is still a bargain. Before the freeze on negotiations during the lockout, he had been asking for $1.4 million, the average salary of hockey's top 10 goaltenders.
"It will all work out," he has often said.
Another asterisk is attached to Brodeur's future. If the Devils don't sign Brodeur to a new contract, he will be a free agent available to any N.H.L. team, with the Devils having the right to match any offer. Off his playoff performance, the Devils' treasury will be tested. Several teams surely might bid as much as $2 million a year, if not more.
"I've told the Devils that I want to stay in New Jersey or Nashville," he said, alluding to a possible transfer of the franchise. "We'll see what happens."
If the Devils chose not to match another team's offer, they would be compensated with three first-round draft choices from the team that signs him. But those three first-round draft choices wouldn't supply the goaltending that Martin Brodeur does. The goaltending that can win the Stanley Cup.
