City based premier management institute, SIBM Bangalore, hosted TEDxSIBMBangalore, for the third time in a row. Technology. Entertainment. Design. Red and Black. This in itself defined the essence of their most coveted event TEDx, an independently organised TED event. Complementing the theme of the event, "The Road Less Travelled", the mission was to inspire minds and seek deep discussions among people at large. The speakers were drawn from varied fields and backgrounds to give the audience a 360 degree view on life.
Soumik Sen, debutant director, directing the film Gulaab Gang, said that we need to get out the Security Zone and Life is about searching for happiness. Through his experience he learnt that questioning things and ability to stay dissatisfied is what drives us. He also highlighted the fact that when someone is happy, he spreads the happiness all around him. On the other hand someone sad will keep the sadness inside him. His inspirational message was "Start working towards your goal. Challenge every convention. Unshackle your minds and follow your heart."
The stage was enlightened with presence of Mahalakshmi Iyer, the Indian playback singer who gave successful soundtracks like Mission Kashmir and Sathiya to name a few. She told the audience to believe in ourselves, keep practicing as practice gives confidence to perform better. She said "Practice makes a man perfect. Hours and hours of practice is the key. Talent needs to be polished. Successful performer needs to connect to audience to make the experience phenomenal." She also talked about her debut break which was a jingle in her college days!! Started her career by singing a jingle - the turning point that helped her overcome doubts and chose singing as her career. She added "One lesson from A.R. Rehman is - Music is vast. The more you give, the more you get in return."
The third speaker for the day was Akash Gautam. He elaborated on his success mantra of staying fit and having excellent relationships. He also warned the audience of being a victim of 'Herd' mentality, where he emphasized on following one's belief rather than succumbing to social pressure.
Pushpa Basnet, the only foreigner to receive the South Korea ELGA youth award, choose a different career path against all odds. When it would have been easy to continue with her family business, her madness to help the society lead her to laying foundations of Non Profit Organizations like Early Childhood Development Center and Butterfly Home. Talking about the topic on adopting children, she raised a very sensitive and important concern as to why a child be punished for the parent's mistake.
Armstrong Pame the first IAS officer from the Zeme tribe of the state of Nagaland. Also famous as the Miracle Man, he said "If I can be a solution to a smallest of the problem, I want to be. Give the best, do what you want and dream big."
Danish Aslam, director of the movie Break Ke Baad, told to create your path rather than following everyone. He told that do not fall in the social pressure and be open to deviate from the norms. He said "Dont be afraid of the fact that you don't know what you want to do in life says"
Kate Hallam, the former Miss England started with the inspiring story of her brother who overcame cancer, and is now living a healthy life. She also talked about her career path, her aspirations to work in movies and about her. Her speech concluded by "The more you travel the more u get richer in terms of knowledge."
Lucky Ali, the famous singer who won the Filmfare award for his track 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum' got the crowd agape by his performance. He talked about his life journey, how he entered the music industry and his overall experiences. He concluded by singing "Anjaani Raho main" and left the audience mesmerized.
The event was also marked with presence of Lisa Sthalekar, the Indian born former Australian cricketer, the only woman cricketer to hold the unique double of 1000 runs and 100 ODI wickets, and Nikhil D'Souza, the singer who has sung for many Bollywood and Tollywood films, began with a spectacular performance. There were also Alyssa Mendonsa- Singer, Alicia Souza- Founder of Chumbak and Satish Acharya- Cartoonist.
Akshata Malhotra and Lekshmy R, final year MBA students and the event organizers said "It was a great opportunity to be organizing a TEDx event in the institute and with the help of the management and the volunteers; we did justice to the event. Our seniors had set up a high benchmark last year of this event and it was a challenge to overcome it. Overall, it was a great learning experience and the memories by this event will be cherished for lifetime. We shall come back next year to this event as spectators and hope to see our juniors putting up a more amazing show."

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations)
About TED

2016 has only started, and it has already been a busy year so far at Giraffic. We announced AVA Live at CES last month (which extends AVA benefits to live streaming video, see this article), and had good conversations with media, analysts and many others, one of which resulted in this article.
Since then, I've had the chance to reflect, and consider what might lie ahead for the rest of the year in mobile and streaming video. Please see below for my predictions.
1. 4K going Mobile
Some may think 4K video quality on mobile is a stretch – but this is already happening (e.g. see the Sony Xperia Z Premium). I think 4K on mobile will grow and eventually become mainstream, hitting the Samsung Galaxy and iPhone, if not in the next high end models, then the following ones.
2. Mobile Casting to Drive HD/UHD Consumption
Casting to TVs from mobile devices (meaning viewing mobile device content on the TV screen via Wi-Fi) will become mainstream and drive HD/UHD consumption. That's because we're addicted to our mobile devices, which are rarely out of reach (I referenced this at the Parks Connection Summit last year, and in this blog post). Also, TV UIs leave a lot to be desired. The mobile device is personalized, and great for searching and discovering media.
There's been much talk about casting from mobile to the TV screens, but adoption has been slow. I think this year it will grow, and cross the chasm in 2017, aided by an improvement in connectivity protocols (e.g. DLNA, Miracast, Apple AirPlay, etc).
Here is my reasoning:
- Device manufacturers are constantly seeking differentiation, and this is getting harder. When they do innovate, others must fall in line, at least on introductory models, to see if consumers jump on board.
- As mentioned above, mobile devices are upgrading to 4K camera and video quality. But the viewing experience is much better on a big screen. Device manufacturers need to give consumers a reason to care about the value of 4K on mobile.
- Studios and other content creators have a financial incentive to promote 4K content, and can't rely only on Connected TV platforms. They see 4K as "the new HD" for charging premium on content consumption.
- Many multi-play vendors with Connected TV and mobile offerings (like Samsung, LG, Sony, Lenovo, Xiaomi) will want to try to "Appleize" their customers, i.e. create a seamless end-to-end experience – via a device ecosystem that does not just rely on a standalone product adoption.
- The growth of leading media streaming devices like Roku and Apple TV, and the entrance of other large vendors into this space (Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV) has distanced consumers from the integrated Smart TV platforms. We've seen stronger demand from TV manufacturers for casting capabilities, which I believe to be a defensive response to big players like Google, Apple and Amazon gaining traction in this domain (previously the realm of smaller startups like Roku).
- People still prefer external media streaming devices (like Roku, Xbox, PlayStation, Chromecast, and Amazon Fire TV) over integrated Smart TV platforms. Consumer engagement on these external devices is higher than on the Smart TV Platforms. Sharing from mobile is the only way for the multi-player CE vendors to regain some of that consumer attention – assuming these vendors can't do it only relying only on their Smart TV platform adoption.
3. VR (Virtual Reality) will go Mainstream
CES 2016 featured many demos and announcements about VR (e.g. Facebook's Oculus, Google Cardboard, Samsung and Sony PlayStation VR, etc). It is making its way not only in gaming, but also education, tourism, media, and perhaps also business (e.g., VR-conferencing). Virtual Reality has been an unfulfilled dream for over a decade. Now it appears that the technology and ecosystem are there to make it happen.
4. The Rise of Chinese Vendors
Chinese vendors like Huawei, Lenovo and Xiaomi have been gaining market share, at the expense of others. I believe this momentum will continue.
There's no longer a significant quality difference between Chinese and Korean or Japanese devices. Samsung overtook Apple in market footprint and has solidified it leadership on multiple platforms (Mobile and TV). I believe Lenovo could become the "the next Samsung".

1). UD(ultrasonic detector) as one of the main part of ultrasonic sensor (parking detector) makes use of ultrasonic detecting the parking space to get message and transfer to ZCU or other equipments by RS485.
2). One parking space needs one UD which is installed in the middle of the car park space.
2 how car parking system (garage parking sensor) works:
Firstly, UD takes use of ultrasonic wave to detect the car space to see if it is occupied by vehicles and transfer relative command to LED Indicator which will turn from green to RED when occupied, or it will keep GREEN; meanwhile, the UD transmit its status message to ZCU immediately, and ZCU will collect and forward the information to CCU; CCU processes these data and sends the relevant command to ZCU and LED panel.

And also watched them do random things anywhere in the kitchen or in the hall or in the room. And the art style is very cute. I am eager to make something similar.

Courage: For my MotherMay 10, 2010 at 2:45 pm | Posted in running, Uncategorized | 20 Comments
I signed up to tackle the Five for Ten blogging "challenge" — I've never done anything like this before but (a) could use a kick in the butt in terms of posting more often and (b) it's always nice to be given a subject. Today's subject is COURAGE.
I had wanted to post my "courage" piece yesterday, for Mother's Day, but struggled a bit with the vagaries of the word. On a sparkling, crisp, windy Sunday, then, I set out on a long run thinking about the word and, probably because it was, in fact, Mother's Day, my mind kept coming back to my mother.
I do not consider myself a courageous person at all. I cannot even call the plumber to schedule a repair. I am still scared of thunderstorms (for real). To an outsider, certain decisions I have made perhaps seem courageous. Arguably it takes courage to end a long relationship in which you have invested everything. Or it takes courage to restart your life at 30 and go to law school. For me, however, these decisions had nothing to do with being courageous. They were simply right, and, at the time, there were no other decisions that could have been made. Instead, I see courageous as having a connotation that leans more towards "principled" than "brave" — because sometimes the line between "brave" and "foolish" is just too porous.
Still, I knew intrinsically that these decisions would be supported by, if no one else, my mother. Her own decisions regarding her marriage, career, and most important her children, were made as much out of principle as they were bravery — and, as such, are to me the definition of courageous.
My mother is one of the few people I know who has never veered from a set of core principles about fairness, equality, and love. In our yuppie New Jersey suburb we were one of the few families who didn't belong to the country club. My mother would not join a club, she said, that did not admit Jews, blacks, or Italians, to name a few. "You can have an exclusive club, I don't care," she said. "But I cannot condone excluding people on an external bias." (At the time, I was kind of peeved that I couldn't join all of my friends poolside, ordering grilled cheeses and fountain Cokes all summer long.) Or, for example, when my father's law firm held its annual dinner dance at an exclusive men's club in the city, the wives were made to wait in the ladies room until their husbands arrived. My mother refused. These principles gave her the courage in spite of public opinion, even if that public was only the small worlds of our town and my father's colleagues, to act in singular way. Later, during my parents' rather scandalous divorce, these same principles morphed into pure courage, enabling her to hold her head high as she walked through town while all other heads leaned together to whisper about her. Ultimately, she emerged as the woman to whom every other housewife in town, as their marriages fell apart, sought for advice.
At the same time, in addition to her stances for what is inherently "right," a deep, unwavering, principled love for family is gave her the courage to get out of bed when the entire town was talking about her. It gave her the strength to herself go to law school in her 40s (with three children at home). It gave her the courage to open her heart again to love and marriage.
A friend once said to me, "Your mom is the quintessential mother." (At the time I probably quite literally said, "Whatever" or some other similarly dismissive response.) This comment was made after my mother had taken a group of college friends out to dinner in Washington, D.C., where I was on an extended visit with my father, who was dying. My parents were no longer married, and all of the surrounding stresses were taking their toll on me physically and emotionally (obviously). My mother drove down just for a day. She took us to dinner and we ordered wine and laughed about college, and for a time I was buoyed. I now understand what my friend meant — my mother sometimes glows with her unshakeable love and faith in her daughters. It is so obvious to anyone who knows her that there is absolutely nothing she wouldn't do for us.
Do you know what it is like to go through life with that sort of faith and love behind you? It gives you, yes, courage.
Though I was a heady, selfish, precocious teenager who made some stupid decisions, I did know — as much as I thought I hated her at the time — that my mother loved me and would stand by me. And, I must say, reciprocally, she had the courage to do so, even when she didn't know whether I'd ever have a good relationship with her.
So when I went through my "decade of troubles" (I just made the phrase up now — doesn't it sound sort of Gothic?) — the death of my father, the end of a major relationship, the uncertainties of my future — I didn't so much tap into any sort of courage of my own as look to the path she had blazed before me. Her actions taught me that by holding fast to one's principles — equality, love, hope — one could create a good life out of adversity or even a new life, of sorts, if necessary.
Most important, when I became pregnant with my daughter — a bit more quickly and surprisingly than I would have planned — I knew, once again, that I'd have her support. (I tucked my daughter in last night and thought, "My God, what if I hadn't had her?")
As I ran up and down the hills yesterday, thinking about this post, and courage, and, of course, my mother herself, I thought, "This is all I want for my children." For them to have the courage to make mistakes and to live by their principles and to know that, no matter what, I will always love them and support them and help them.
My mother might argue that she did not have courage. She might tell you that she tried to hard to pretend that things were alright when they weren't or that our lives were still perfect when, clearly, they weren't. She might not forgive herself for this. And, consequently, now she might tell you that the most important thing you can do when you raise a child is to teach her to deal with adversity.
Still, while she may have not thought she was teaching us these lessons at the time, through her comport and manner — her graceful bearing, her calm, her ability to listen without judgment, her articulate words, her protectiveness, her humor (which, of course, we often did not find funny) — we nevertheless learned them and have them as our touchstone for our adult lives. It is my fiercest hope as a mother that, if nothing else, I can live in a manner as principled as she does and teach my own children that adversity is something to be tackled — with courage, sure, but I guess what I'm trying to say is: if you know that someone loves you no matter what, perhaps you don't need to pretend things are perfect. I think it took both my mother and me a long time to realize this, but I wouldn't change a day of my past in exchange for this epiphany.

Lovely post. Helps keep our day-to-day mothering struggles in perspective when we think about what we want to pass on to the next generation.

{I'm actually giggling in nervous sympathy over not being able to call the plumber… I hate hate hate calling people about things like that! Or ordering take out…}
Beautiful post, what an incredible source of courage and life – an example for a strong woman – to have behind you.
Comment by Corinne— May 10, 2010 #
One of the sane Mother's Day quotes I heard was if you are lucky to have a great mother you are VERY lucky (the quote was better, I wrecked it in memory). You have a great mother. I would venture to say it's courageous to tell the story you just did. I think, as women and daughters, it's also hard to realize the value of our mothers because we do so much to separate/have our own thing. And I tend to do my best thinking while running, I see you do too.

What a beautiful post! I'm reading EVERY LAST ONE by Anna Quindlen and the theme of mothers/daughters and courage resonates. I'd recommend it to all of your blog readers!

Wow. You paint such an amazing and full picture of your mama. Having an amazing bond with my own mother, I totally get it in any way. But what I love most about this is how you come back to your mother's undying sense of doing what is right. Right. Justified. RIGHT. And yes, doing this is on the one hand, just doing it…because it needs to be done. But on the other hand, bloody brave!
Wonderful post. And so so so glad to have you along. And glad that you like being given a topic!!!

Wow and thank you. An amazing mother–I covet the conviction of her values. I would like to emulate her strength AND courage. I love this post–all of it, and esp this quote,"I see courageous as having a connotation that leans more towards "principled" than "brave" — because sometimes the line between "brave" and "foolish" is just too porous."

Really lovely post. Such a nice tribute, full of real admiration and respect. That's an amazing gift for both of you.

Kathryn! I am so glad you came to visit me. It's so much fun to discover kindred spirits.
First of all, I so want to meet your mom! She sounds like such a fireball. Love that. Second, from what I can tell about you (which, admittedly, is not much YET), I think courage runs in your family.
This post really resonated with me. This in particular has stuck with me: "It is my fiercest hope as a mother that, if nothing else, I can live in a manner as principled as she does and teach my own children that adversity is something to be tackled — with courage, sure, but I guess what I'm trying to say is: if you know that someone loves you no matter what, perhaps you don't need to pretend things are perfect." I could not agree more. Love covers a multitude of shortcomings and imperfections. Which is why there is no need for perfection where there is love. And where there is love (the real, I'm-with-you-no-matter-what, I'm-in-your-corner kind), there is courage, because love inspires courage. When we know we're loved, we have the courage to be courageous. It makes us brave.
Five For Ten really is incredible, isn't it? All these connections and conversations. I feel so privileged to be a part of this incredible circle.

"MythBusters" loose cannon hits California home
(CBS/AP) The "MythBusters" did some unplanned wall busting -- with an out-of-control cannonball. The Discovery Channel show was shooting a segment that involved firing a cannon on Tuesday when the plan went awry.
The segment took place at Alameda County Sheriff's Department bomb range in Dublin, Calif. The cannon was supposed to go through several barrels of water and a cinder block wall before hitting the bomb range. But instead, it sailed over the water-filled barrels and a concrete wall.
It then tore through a home and smashed a window in a minivan. Sheriff's spokesman J.D. Nelson told the Contra Costa Times no one was injured. The people in the home were asleep at the time.
"It's a little scary," said nearby resident Mark Hawthorne. "It's easy to laugh at after it's done and no one's hurt."

"So If You're Ever Feeling Lost and Lonely…"
It's safe to say, that if I was ever feeling down, I know for damn sure, I will always find comfort in the songs of Clean Cut Kid. Returning with their first new material since their debut album 'Felt' last year, our Liverpool friends remind us that there will always be someone there to help us through the dark times. Exploring a more lo-fi sound, Emily counsels us through those pangs of emotional stress with layered vocals and some dreamy Fleetwood Mac style aesthetics.
"'Emily' is about someone very close to us who was suffering from a severe bout of depression. It's us reaching out and saying, "we know you're 'unwell' here and not just 'sad.' The ultimate thing is to take the deepest emotions and work it in to a message that isn't miserable."
The new single is taken from their upcoming 'Painkiller' EP on 22nd October and will follow with their Give Love tour which will kick off on November 22nd. Check the dates below.
Go fill your ears with this beaut of a track and be sure to reach out to that friend in need.
Live Dates
Thursday 22nd November – Glasgow Stereo
Friday 23rd November – Leeds The Wardrobe
Sunday 25th November – Nottingham The Bodega

Hello everyone!
I became a Castle fan via my sister and husband in early 2013 (I confess, they had to bribe me and coax me to give it a try - I was skeptical about it at first). I watched the entire series to date in about 4 weeks, "catching up" with real-time airing just in time to see Hunt live. I joined the CastleTV.net forum shortly thereafter, where I am known as "Someone To Stand With You", a reference of course to Beckett's eulogy for Montgomery in Knockout and my all-time favorite scene. I love Castle not only because it is entertaining, but because there is a depth to it that I find both compelling and insightful into real life. It is a wonderful blend of drama, comedy, and romance, and I am so thankful to the cast and crew for the work that they do - they do a terrific job with the show. Castle is the only show that I currently watch, and is one of the few that I have ever really followed in any dedicated way (Babylon 5 and Boy Meets World are my other two favorites; I like Wings, Star Trek, Murphy Brown, and Home Improvement as well).
The pages that I tend to focus on/contribute to regularly are as follows:
- Johanna Beckett Murder Board
- Linda Russo Murder Board
- Death Defying Moments
- Callbacks
- Foreshadowing
- Metaphors
- Lexicon
- The "Episode Analysis" section on each individual episode page (starting in Season 5)
Personality-wise, I relate most to Beckett, and my favorite episodes tend to revolve around her and her relationship with Castle (of course):

For most of us wool is not just wool. Wool is warmth as well as style – the ultimate in comfortable trendy everyday wear.
Wool is warm – an understatement if any. Do you know that the wool keeps you warm by trapping the warm air inside; it can even feel warm when it is wet.This insulating quality makes it, the must have fabric in cold climate . Interestingly wool can keep you cold in warmer climates. It is waterproof. well almost. It is moisture wicking and can take a lot of water before it feels really wet. It is also somewhat fire repellant and stain resistant. There are many such reasons other than that it is a very durable fabric that makes it a favourite for making clothes. But How to clean it – that is a million dollar question.
Home laundering, as well as dry cleaning, works in caring for woolen clothes.Hand washing of woolen garments is perfectly alright so long as it is marked so in its label " washable wool" and some precautions are taken. If three things are kept out of the purview of wool, you are safe – Heat, moths and alkalic stains
Some characteristic of wool which bugs me
Shrinkage – this is a pain; You buy a sweater and after one or two washes it wouldn't fit a 10 year younger you.
Dry cleaning label on most wool clothes. I donot like dry cleaning because of the chemicals and the money. But with expensive wool clothes there may not be an option out of it
Some woollen clothes irritates skin – especially allergic prone people with sensitive skin. You have to be careful with woollen clothes in this way.
Appearance of small wool balls on the surface of woollen fabric – it is also called piling and it is irritating and unsightly – this piling usually goes off after some washes
When washing most woolen clothes stretches out of shape; though It is relatively easy to bring it down to its original shape with some manipulation. Washing by washing machine is mostly out of question
Spot cleaning wool
The time to remove stain from wool is as soon as the stain occurs. Do not wait. Blotting the area with a clean towel by dabbing the area gently ( never rub) works for removing fresh stains . If you are using a spot cleaner or detergent remember to take it off by blotting with a wet cloth. But do not rub too much or too long.
How to care for woolen clothes
Pure wool is quite easy to maintian. It is quite resistant to heat and if the above fabric care label symbols are taken care of, will remain in tip top condition for many many years.
Always brush the wool garment after each and every wear. This will remove small dirt.
Empty all pockets and hang for 1-2 hours to shake out the wrinkles and then store flat.You can also make sure that the garment do not get too much dirty with sweat and body oils by wearing a slip / petticoat between the wool fabric and your body.
I never ever stretch woolen fabric or clothes made of them when they are wet. They have an elasticity which stretches the fibers and when they are wet they are extremely susceptible to damage. They may permanently remain stretched. So no wringing or twisting of woolen clothes to remove water after handwashing.
When washing woolen clothes (which is marked ok to hand wash) if I am sure that the garment is going to bleed I set the colours with a small soak of water mixed with some vinegar. Some people also recommend salt solution.
I always use extra gentle liquid ph balanced detergent ( designed for woolen fabric) and cold water for washing woolen clothes – not the generic detergent. Also like silk give a final rinse with a water mixed with a few drops of hair conditioner. Remember that Like hair , wool is a natural fiber and will shine with this pampering
Woolen clothes stretch which is bad when storing it. Hanging wool garments inside a cupboard for a long time also will stretch the fabric fibers permanently.The edges of the hangers will distort the shoulder area. Fold and lie flat for storage.
Never ever hang the wet woolen cloth for drying after a wash or hold it by the shoulder area. Lay down flat to dry after the wash after absorbing extra water with a clean towel. This will prevent stretching somewhat. You will get special mesh screens to lay the woolen clothes to dry so that it can dry from the top and underneath. Towel racks can manage if you donot get these.
A quality drycleaning center can be your ally in keeping premium woolen clothes in excellent condition. Ensure that they donot come out with that chemical smell. That means that the center is not up to the mark. A good quality place will clean your woolen clothes with enough steam and appropriate cleaning solutions making it clean and smell good too
One easy hack to take out wrinkles out of woolen clothes is to hang them in a shower area overnight. The humidity in the place will naturally iron out the wool fabric like magic.
I always keep small moth balls and nice smelling herbs inside a perforated pouch and keep this near my woolen clothes ( without touching the clothes of course) Exposure to sunlight ( not too long) can also prevent mildew growth and kill moth larvae. I have read somewhere that keeping the garment in the fridge for some time ( 48 hours or so ) also can kill the larvae. Sunlight will do for me. My fridge is overcrowded as it is
Some have success with storing wool with cedar chips/blocks or the items itself in cedar chests.
Do not despair when you see tiny holes in your woolen garment made by those hated moths ( insects) They are totally repairable. Most probably you have got some spare thread with the garment which matches the thread. With some practice you can repair the hole by weaving into the fabric with the thread and fill the hole.It will look almost as if the hole was not there. The woolen cloth was made by weaving – so repairing by weaving is an easy and understandable solution
Special care for special wools
Performance wool – Garments made of this blended wool should never be exposed to high heat from an iron – it will end up looking shiny. Dry cleaning also should be done carefully on this wool.
Or use clothing patches on the holes ( Checkout the tutorials to make the clothing patches and the different ways to sew the clothing patches )

The old haunts seem so hollow,
He knows the script, but why?
To meet them just to argue,
And avert, or hurt, his eyes?
And anyway, they'll just stare,
At the kippah and the beard,
His opinions, wise and witty,
Will be heard only as weird.
No, he'll stay here in the shtetl,
Where they all look just like he,
Except the one piece always missing,
That all but him can see.
Of course, they all accept him,
They invite him to their kiddush,
Where they all get the joke, except him,
When the punch line's switched to Yiddish.
No, it's too intense here,
He'll spend an evening on the town,
Familiar music, sights and banter,
That leave him feeling like a clown.
Might as well catch the bus and go home
His time here's purely bittul,
Local streets he'll like a ghost roam,
…Unless he gets off in the middle.

Carbonated drinks are created when (CO2) carbon dioxide is dissolved inside drinking water
In america, we've got flavors and we all call carbonated beverages — soda pop. This particular carbonation process adds the "fizz" within soda.
The quality of carbonate drinks which includes soft drinks and also the various taste associated with both are brought on by the amount of dissolved CO2 which in turn causes carbonic acid in the drink.
In many soft drinks, carbonation is employed to provide these types of beverages their distinctive taste Diy-selzerwater-com. The fizzy taste is normally brought on by diluted carbonic acid and not due to the bubbles as many think.
In home-brewing involving beer, over-carbonation could be dangerous; this can lead to bottles gushing and even exploding. Excessive levels of sugar utilized as the primer is dangerous, as well as using incorrect types of bottles or incorrect capping procedure. Thus, I recommend, just buy your beer at the store.
Carbonated drinking water, also known as sparkling water, is actually plain water into which CO2 gas is blended, and it is the main component of most "soft drinks".
Previously, these types of drinks were made in the home by putting drinking water inside a seltzer bottle after that adding CO2. Club soda is actually similar to ordinary carbonated water or it might contain a small touch of salt, or trace minerals. These result in the actual salty flavor associated with home-made soft drinks. Add some droplets of concentrated flavors so you have excellent ole soda pop.
In case there are sufficient minerals, the drink is called sparkling water. A huge selection of calorie free flavors towards flavor sparkling water to fantastic taste is sold at http: //allfreightfree. com. This can be a fantastic option for your family to drink instead of soda pop.
Carbonated drinks converted to soda pop can be a calorie free way to ensure your family drinks plenty of drinking water since it is well known that the better the beverages tastes, the more often your children will drink and also the more they consume, the healthier it really is for your family.
If anyone in your family plays sports, this distinctive flavored drink may also make sure they stay appropriately hydrated while exercising. It has already been an incredibly warm summer and 2 per day football practices has already begun for college and high school players. So, possibly as being a football mom, you might supply the team some different flavored carbonated beverages to ensure everyone drinks the actual quantities that they need and also stay perfectly hydrated. The children will love you and perhaps the coach will as well. This might be considered a good project for the football booster club to take on.
The heat of this summer time has made drinking water very important in reality, it has made it a dangerous summer even for Texas which is used to scorching summers. But we are not really use to every single day associated with 100 plus temperature with higher humidity and little babies and the elderly are especially susceptible.
Therefore, flavored carbonated drinks really are a good option for your children and family and perhaps even your own elderly neighbor. All things considered, we are our brothers keepers.

WHY RUGBY? "When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained."
Over the past few years, our lifestyle has changed in one way or the other. Though drugs still help us. Some drugs are well-known. Other treat peculiar illnesses like Lung cancer. Viagra is one of the unimprovable treatment options of all when. Many individuals consider about "100mg viagra". This article focuses on the signs of erectile disfunction and "when does viagra go off patent". Several websites describe it as "viagra 100mg". The symptoms of sexual problems in men switch on failure to reach an orgasm despite signs of arousal. While Viagra is considered safe enough on their own, still, pharmacists say mixing it with intoxicants could be undesirable. The highly first factor make sure that when you purchase medications like Viagra online, you get real medicine. Many of the online drugstores offer really dicey fakes.

Earth's Farthest Bounds 072711
Occasionally, a city person complains that we live so far out we are lost! At that moment my family and I know maybe we are not far enough out of town! But God knows where the wagon tracks are that lead to out gate.
This reminds me of a poem by the Chinese poet Tao Chien who complained that his lane was almost too muddy for some to make it to him, except his old friends who brought spring wine. Like Psalm 65:8, our gateways shout for joy, both morning and evening.
We hope your day will be bounded by the joyous gateways to and from night by the Lord. We pray today for the millions who must work in oppressive heat and humidity, and we pray for the thousands of UN and church workers who began today distributing food and water in Somalia and eastern Africa. We pray that they will save the lives of many now dying of starvation and thirst, and that rain will come to eastern Africa to help the 11.3 million people affected, and countless creatures and ecosystems.
(brother) Bill
Psalm 65:8-13
8Those who live at earth's farthest bounds are awed by your signs; you make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy.
9You visit the earth and water it, you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide the people with grain, for so you have prepared it.
10You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.
11You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with richness.
12The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy,
13the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy.
Proverbs 1:1-7, 20-33
1The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2For learning about wisdom and instruction,
for understanding words of insight,
3for gaining instruction in wise dealing,
righteousness, justice, and equity;
4to teach shrewdness to the simple,
knowledge and prudence to the young—
5let the wise also hear and gain in learning,
and the discerning acquire skill,
6to understand a proverb and a figure,
the words of the wise and their riddles. 7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction. 20Wisdom cries out in the street;
in the squares she raises her voice.
21At the busiest corner she cries out;
at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22"How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools hate knowledge?
23Give heed to my reproof;
I will pour out my thoughts to you;
I will make my words known to you.
24Because I have called and you refused,
have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,
25and because you have ignored all my counsel
and would have none of my reproof,
26I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when panic strikes you,
27when panic strikes you like a storm,
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently, but will not find me.
29Because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30would have none of my counsel,
and despised all my reproof,
31therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way
and be sated with their own devices.
32For waywardness kills the simple,
and the complacency of fools destroys them;
33but those who listen to me will be secure
and will live at ease, without dread of disaster."
Mark 4:30-34
30He also said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? 31It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; 32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade."
33With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; 34he did not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to his disciples.

This sound library is the ultimate achievement of a really ambitious project of recording winds from very remote places across the world.
Included are authentic recordings from the Boreal region (North hemisphere: in Canada and Iceland), from the Austral region (South hemisphere: Tierra del Fuego in Argentina and the Last Hope province in Chile), on Islands in Mediterranean region (Thira in Greece), in the Sahara desert (Marocco), Isle-aux-Grues (Canadian winter), and more (see file list for more details)
These were recorded either in urban settings, countryside, or complete wilderness.
Included is a set of useful synthesized, tonal, and designed winds.
The sounds are categorized into 3 folders: Designed, Indoor & Outdoor.
Recorded in Eastern Oregon's Great Basin and High Desert Region – classic sounds of the American West, forest or desert.
These tracks are stripped highlights from the hundreds of hours of field recordings I use to make my films. A number of them include the birds fluttering and making deep natural calls right next to the recorder – about as close as you can hope to get of birds in the wild.
This is it, the largest reindeer sound library in the world! Recorded in Lapland, Finland, in winter 2020, we have here over 53 minutes of reindeer in three different, mostly quiet locations.
The first location is a snowy trail in the woods. I was snowshoeing and the reindeer were walking in a distance. Clicking hooves are the deal in these recordings!
The second location is a place in the middle of the woods where the reindeer are sleeping, eating and doing reindeer stuff. No people in sight, no barriers. Just me and THOUSANDS OF REINDEER, and they took me in as their leader, so I got every imaginable and as well unimaginable sound as they were not afraid.
The third location is a reindeer enclosure. Here I got the most isolated sounds. This location also includes a feeding shed, where I recorded reindeer eating and digging!

Increased available water at the edges of streams and rivers allows for plentiful plant growth, resulting in added food and shelter, which, in turn, increases wildlife diversity and translates into greater sonic diversity. An added plus is higher humidity. Humid atmospheres are more elastic than arid atmospheres and therefore propagate sound faster and more clearly to your microphones, resulting in excellent sound quality.
From a sound designer's perspective, these lush and varied locales also often feature a unique tubular echo due to overhanging vegetation and the landforms cut by the flowing waters. Factor in the much higher biodiversity than in adjoining habitats and you can generally count on mesmerizing soundscapes that will delight your audiences.
This Library is also part of The Complete Quiet Planet Bundle.Libraries from Quiet Planet are covered by a special EULA - read it here.
River Estuary is a series of recordings centred around the River Deben estuary in Suffolk, an area famous for its natural beauty and wildlife. It is a treasure trove of sounds that capture the ambience of this serene environment, with a focus on the wading bird calls that give the estuary its unique sonic character.
The library was mostly recorded on a boat stationed in Woodbridge in the late winter of 2018 with private access to the boatyard, allowing me to record safely over night. I continued the recordings up until late summer, making trips to other areas along the Deben in between. I was also granted permission to record on the privately owned Sutton Hoo side of the Deben, another of Suffolk's areas of outstanding historical significance and beauty, equally full of life but further away from the rumbling traffic and human life coming from the town.
It includes the sounds of curlews, oystercatchers, redshanks, geese, swans, ducks and various other wading bird calls, as well as general ambience recordings of the area at high tide and low tide and all hours of the day. The night calls that echo over the expanse of the river at low tide are particularly evocative.
The library was recorded entirely in 24bit/96k with a double Mid/Side rig consisting of Sennheiser MKH60/30 and 8040 mics, encoded to 5.1 Wav. A stereo option is also available at a lower price. As a bonus there is a collection of bird call spot FX taken from the recordings with noise reduction applied, for those who may need to add individual wading bird calls to their ambience.
River Flows: Over & Under library brings running river sounds, captured over and under the surface. It features 80 HQ audio files, ranging from cascading waterfalls to running rivers and babbling brooks and creeks. The total duration of the collection is 4 hours with the majority of the recordings captured during wintertime, which makes them uniquely free from any bird and insect audio backdrop.
Overall, the collection caters to projects that require environmental sounds of flowing, emerging/submerging bodies of water as well as underwater ambiences.
And what a bonus! We included 20 designed sounds of otherworldly, evolving aquatic ambiences, designed using our source recordings of River Flows library. We passed them through Pitch Shifters, Filtering, Eqs and Sculpting effects like Reformer by Krotos, Granular Synthesis Plugin by The Mangle, and the 3D Audio Software, Sound Particles.
This library comes along with 15 Soundminer Metadata fields, such as description, keywords, category/sub-category, microphone specifications, and more.
With the warm weather of spring comes this sound pack full of moving water sound effects. From the gentle babble of a brook to the rushing speed of a waterfall to the soft trickle of a nearby stream, this pack is designed to add realism and movement to your next project.
Recorded in a variety of provincial parks around beautiful British Columbia, Canada, all sounds were recorded in 5 minute takes, then edited down to 3 minute loopable stereo files. Extreme care was taken into isolating all recordings from the surrounding environment, all while capturing a natural and lifelike sample of the snow melt and other natural water sources.
Rural Australia is a library that gets you the best material from recording sessions in regional New South Wales. It features a mix of nature ambiences, animal recordings and a bit of Foley to boot. The sound of insects at night, birds singing, spurs jangling, cows braying, male horses in heat and more – it's all here in one package.
This library consists of countryside sounds captured in the summertime. Recorded in Quadro and Stereo. There are sounds of a village and sounds of nature without human influence.
Recording gear: Sounddevices 744t, Schoeps MS set, Nevaton QUAD MC 50, Oktava MC-012 Double-MS set
Articulated presents the result of several months investigation in the realm of rustling matters:
A toolkit to create presence, reality but also interesting textures and silences.
Light breeze and heavy wind gusts were recorded on many locations: in forests, near shrubs, tall grass, corn fields, and in streets. Leaves were captured fluttering on branches but also whirling and dancing on the ground.
Great amount of variations: Leaves of all shapes (needles, compound, single, broadleaf, dry, twigs, branches,…), and various materials such as plastic, paper, fabric, dirt were recorded.
All of which through various interactions such as shuffle, shake, rub, brush, hit, fiddle, whip, and whoosh.
• Windy foliage in trees
• leaves dancing on the ground
• plants interactions & movements
• shuffling, shaking, brushing, rubbing, hitting, swooshing
• all kinds of leaves shape and many types of vegetation such as grass, broadleaf branch, reeds, maple twigs, bamboos, needles, dry leaves, twigs, straws
• additional texture that can help extend the sonic palette of rustling noises such as plastics, papers, metals, glass, pebbles, dirt, fabric, leather
This ambiences pack is the result of a short field recording trip / road trip I made in October 2019 around the beautiful land/soundscapes of the Scottish Highlands.
I decided to go with a LCR + AB setup, as while testing different options I found it to be very versatile and relatively light and small. All mics were mounted inside the Cinela Albert basket for more convenience, allowing me to capture multichannel ambiences ( virtually 5.0 surround ) with a single thing to set up, and perfectly sheltered from wind.
I came across rivers, streams, lochs, waterfalls, lochs, harbours, lochs, quiet forests, reindeers slabs and more lochs.
This " Mini Ambience Pack " contains 24 sounds /72 files embedded with full and detailed metadata ( Soundminer, Basehead, iXML ).
With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We'll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.

Another Expulsion?
Joel Kontinen
Texas has in effect expelled any critical evaluation of origins issues. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board refused to give accreditation to the ICR Graduate School's Science Education program. This is strange since the very same program was already accredited in California. The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) moved its headquarters to Texas last year and had to apply for accreditation in Texas for its MA programme.
Ben Stein's film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed pointed out the dismal lack of academic freedom in science education. The refusal to grant the ICR's Graduate School accreditation shows that intelligence is still not allowed.
