The holidays are here and if you're not careful, your hard-earned cash can disappear faster than raspberry truffles at Santa's workshop. Make sure that your well-intentioned gifting doesn't have you slip-sliding into deeper debt than you can manage.
By nature, this time of year can be emotionally charged as well as a drain on finances. Without a plan in place, big financial trouble could loom by the time January 2019 rolls around. So how do you give to those you love during the holidays and not neglect the impact holiday spending can have on your ability to manage your debt?
To avoid a financial starvation diet in the new year after over-indulging during the holidays, try utilizing these five techniques to plan for a holiday season that is full of cheer and not stress.
Create a Holiday Budget
Creating a budget specifically for the purpose of holiday spending might have more of a "Ba-humbug" ring to it than "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la" but if you value your money, it could be well worth your effort. Creating a specific holiday budget is the most effective way to emerge from the holiday season on secure financial footing and not feeling like it's your first visit to the ice skating rink.
As a general rule of thumb, it's perfectly acceptable to allocate no more than one and a half percent of your annual gross income for holiday spending. If that feels too high, then work around this budget this year and create one that feels comfortable to you. Make a mental note to implement more cost-saving measures in the coming year so that you can achieve this budget level in the next holiday season. Remember that you are setting a budget that you will spend over and above the regular expenditures for the two-month period leading through the holidays.
Once you've set a realistic goal for your holiday budget, the next step is to identify who's been naughty and who's been nice: family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, your children's teachers, the mailman, the company driver, etc. Make your list and check it twice!
Next, set the budget per recipient. Review your list to adjust the amounts as you see fit, but keep in mind that the total amount should not exceed the budget you have set for total holiday spending. PRO TIP: Give thoughtfully; not to impress. Don't forget to allocate for your children's expenses for their own gifts as well. This should be done within the confines of your total budget and needless to say, should also be a limited amount.
Then there are the hidden expenses. Holiday lights will probably increase your electricity bill, postage for greeting cards and delivery charges for gifts to distant friends and relatives will add up too. If you're planning to host a party there should be a separate budget for it. If you're attending one or a number of parties, you should allocate for gifts to hosts.
Once you've completed your naughty-or-nice list, you're ready for the next step...
Window Shop Prior to Purchasing
These days, it pays to shop around before actually buying your gifts. Expand your search to online resources to determine if it could save you some money. Truth be told, you could realistically save both time AND money by going this route. Coupons are another effective way to save on costs. If you're good with your hands or have some unique, creative talent, consider DIY gifts. These are sure-fire ways to save on your holiday expenses.
Stick to Your Budget
All of that well-laid holiday financial planning would essentially amount to sugarplums dancing in your head if you let yourself to stray from your budget and allow impulse spending to creep into your purchases. Stick to your budget. Always shop with your list. Buy only what you're shopping for.
If you can, resist buying gifts for yourself. Research by the National Retail Federation found that fifty-seven percent of Americans spend almost $127 each holiday season on gifts for themselves. That money could be used to complete your gift list. You can always reward yourself after the holidays when your budget situation eases up.
Pay in Cash
Numerous studies have shown that when we swipe our plastic, our brains literally shut down, leaving the purchase process in limbo. This is one reason credit card debt gets out of control. Avoid this situation by paying in cash. If you're shopping online, use your debit card, so you're aware of the fact that the funds are coming directly out of your account. By doing this - especially exchanging literal cash for the gits that you're buying - keeps your mind on the process and on the amount of money you are parting with.
Keep Track of Your Balances
Don't wait for the new year to check whether or not you stayed on track with your holiday budget. You put time and effort into it, so resist the inclination to ignore it. Running a balance through the holidays not only ensures that you're spending as you've planned but also guarantees that you're putting yourself in an advantageous financial position for the upcoming year by avoiding falling into further debt.
The holidays can be a stressful time, but you can alleviate the financial pressure by organizing your gift giving with a well-thought-out budget. In doing so, you'll avoid overspending, dreadful January credit card bills, and ensure that this holiday season is merry and bright!

A Brief History of Infiniti
The first Infiniti model was the Q45, which was engineered and designed to compete in the full-sized luxury vehicle market. Infiniti released several other luxury models shortly after the Q45, but they were relatively unsuccessful compared with Acura and Lexus. In 1997, Infiniti turned it around by being one of the first automakers to produce a mid-sized luxury SUV, the QX4. Sales for Infiniti vehicles still floundered in most markets, however. By the early 2000's the company was facing extinction.
With its back against a wall, Infiniti dedicated itself to developing a unique line of sporty luxury cars. In 2003, the G35 was introduced and experienced success in the U.S. This model spawned the G series of vehicles, which basically saved Infiniti and gave them a reputation as "the Japanese BMW." Infiniti has found a niche for itself, and as a result they have experienced increasing success worldwide.

JAXA, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, has been developing a multi-discipline approach to creating an electric light aircraft, much like efforts at Airbus. Like Airbus, its first efforts use a modified existing airframe, the Diamond Dimona HK36 TTC-ECO motorglider. Unlike Airbus, the organization has developed its own powerplant, reporting on March 14, 2014, that they had completed performance testing of the electronic propulsion system for small aircraft, in a final test program that lasted into late 2013.
JAXA reports, "For the tests, researchers installed an aircraft motor system designed by JAXA in a 6.5-m x 5.5-m low-speed wind tunnel and measured motor shaft power, motor efficiency, propeller thrust, the temperatures of various motor system parts, and other values.
The data showed that the system had a maximum motor output of 63 kW (kilowatts) and motor efficiency levels of 94% or higher, indicating that the motor demonstrates sufficient performance for manned flight. Researchers were also able to confirm that the system fulfills the performance requirements, including the necessary durability and cooling performance levels, for flight at speeds equivalent to those in actual flying environments."
In 2013, the organization announced it had completed testing of an important element of their motor, "a motor coil that can maintain its maximum power more than two times longer than a conventional model by using thermal conductive heat-resistant insulating material. Technology to extend the time duration of motor's maximum power is imperative for the practical use of an electric aircraft." The insulated coil enables a smaller, lighter motor that will not overheat during periods of high motor output, such as climbs. Materials for the coil were developed by Nippon Kayaku (KAYAKU), in cooperation with JAXA.
JAXA has installed a complete electric power system in the Diamond aircraft, with some pertinent enhancements which distinguish their approach. Most notable, from a quick glance, a large pod under each wing holds the batteries that supply power to the motor. The pods, totaling 120 kilograms (264 pounds), allow a test program with takeoff and climb at full power for one to two minutes, a trip around the field at pattern altitude (300 meters or 984 feet) using from 20 to 30 kilowatts (27 to 40 horsepower), followed by a landing. The pods, being deployed as they are, may provide a safety factor in case of thermal runaways with the batteries.
The batteries themselves are 75 Amp-hours, 128 Volts, and arranged with 32 cells in series.
Flight Path, JAXA's newsletter, describes the permanent magnet synchronous motor as being equivalent to the 60 to 86 kW (80.4 to 115.2 horsepower) Rotax engines it replaces, with control through a single throttle lever. Because the motor turns over at a maximum 8,000 rpm, a reduction gear system slows things down for reasonable propeller speeds. Although the propeller is a variable-pitch unit, it will be restricted to fixed-pitch use during tests. An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) controller modulates the water-cooled motor's speed.
JAXA lists the aircraft's cruising speed between 100 and 150 kilometers per hour (62 – 93 mph), with a single battery charge capable of powering the 850 kilogram (1,870 pound) craft through a 15-minute flight routine, "even if the pilot applies full power for around two minutes during takeoff." Following each circuit, the airplane will be recharged to ready it for another airport circuit. The test team uses a long runway "so that the aircraft can glide and return to the ground safely in the event that it experiences a loss of power during takeoff."
Like Airbus, JAXA intends to use the results of their FEATHER (Flight demonstration of the Electric Aircraft Technology for Harmonized Ecological Revolution) light aircraft tests as indicators of how electronic technology may power bigger aircraft in the future. This may include hybrid variants including hydrogen fuel cells. As one writer pointed out, Japan is dependent on foreign oil to run its current air fleet. Replacing foreign oil with electricity would be a great advantage for the country.

PaddleBlog - Sheryl & her thoughts on SUP Fitness - Skills & Drills
What a fabulous and unique way to spend an afternoon!
Our SUP activity involved tailored instructions from our knowledgeable guide Craig. His experience and confidence were obvious, complemented by his relaxed, calm nature, which put everyone at ease. We enjoyed a peaceful hour learning our skills on the SUP in the wonderfully tranquil Strangford Lough, before docking at an island where we were rewarded with views that took your breath away.
We then enjoyed a fitness class with Claire, another instructor whose expertise and patience were clear to see. She pitched everything at the individual levels within our group so perfectly. We all felt challenged at our own level whilst having great fun along the way.
It was then time to get back on our SUP for our return trip. Enjoying our new skills, chatting to (and making new) friends, with more spectacular scenery and even squeezing in some starfish spotting!
I would definitely recommend this activity as a wonderful way to challenge yourself and meet fabulous people, all in the stunning nature and beauty of Strangford Lough.

The Squatter. It's my version of Potty PD. Basically I make infographic style posters, laminate them, and post them in the staff restrooms around campus to maximize my captive audience. I try to make them funny and useful, as well as eye catching. All of the previous Squatters are posted here on itsthemitchell.com. Let me know what you find that's good or bad. Useful or awful. Both are helpful information to guide me in the future. I've had a few ideas for increasing engagement. One of them is "The Squatter Squad." To be a part of The Squatter Squad (picture teachers in superhero poses... but in the bathroom) all you have to do is email me something relating to the currently posted Squatter in the building. That gains you entry to The Squatter Squad for the month, as well as the opportunity to snag something from the Squatter Squad Swag Bag (box.) I have a box full of all kinds of stuff. Candy, BC Logo Swag, 3D printed trinkets, and everyone's favorite... JEAN

Once you root and install a custom recovery, we can now install a custom ROM on the LG G4 and here are the steps required to get a custom ROM on the LG G4.
We're almost finished with all the core LG G4 tutorials and one of the last things I wanted to show you was how to install a custom ROM on the device. Since Android is open source, anyone can dive into the code and make modifications to it. This is what a lot of community developers do and some of them are gracious enough to release their code to the public.
For example, if a developer wanted a certain feature of if they wanted to substitute the white Material Design background to something darker, then they could do exactly this.
Before we can start to install a custom ROM on the LG G4, we must first do a few things to set everything up. You will need to unlock the LG G4 bootloader as this is required to install a custom recovery. Naturally, the next thing you will need to do is install a custom recovery on the LG G4. My custom recovery of choice is TWRP, but there are some other popular ones available. Lastly, you'll need to gain root access to the LG G4 so that you can make changes to the system partition.
Now, I also recommend that you create a Nandroid backup of the LG G4 before you made any major modifications like this. As long as you have this backup on file(and it doesn't become corrupt) then you can always revert back in case something goes wrong.
LG G4 Install Custom ROM
- Download the Custom ROM of Choice to the LG G4
- Download the Gapps Package for the Android Version of the Custom ROM
- Boot the LG G4 into Recovery Mode
- Tap on the 'Wipe' Option
- Tap on the 'Advanced Wipe' Option
- Make Sure the Following Partitions are Checked. . .
- Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache
- Then Swipe the Blue Arrow to the Right to Wipe Those Partitions
- When Done, Tap on the Home Button at the Bottom
- Then Tap on the 'Install' Option
- Browse to and Tap on the Custom ROM You Downloaded(from step 1)
- Tap on the 'Add More Zips' Option
- Browse to and Tap on the Gapps Package You Downloaded(from step 2)
- When Ready, Swipe the Blue Arrow to the Right to Install
- Wait Until the Installation Process Completes
- Then Tap on the 'Wipe Cache/Dalvik' Option
- Tap on the Back Button
- And Then Tap on the 'Reboot System' Button
As mentioned, please create your Nandroid backup before you begin installing any custom ROM onto the LG G4. I just can't stress the importance of this enough because there are so many little things that can go wrong when making these types of modifications. You might have accidentally downloaded the wrong custom ROM for your specific LG G4. There might have been a hiccup during the download process which can cause issues when installing the custom ROM. You also might not like the custom ROM at all and restoring from this backup will be a quick way to get things back to how they were.
So, once you have the custom ROM downloaded onto your LG G4, you'll then want to download the proper Gapps package for the version of Android that you're about to install. For example, if you are going to install an Android 5.0 custom ROM then you'll want to download Gapps 5.0 package. However, if you're installing a custom ROM based on Android 5.1 then you'll need to download a Gapps 5.1 package. When all of that has been downloaded and you are ready, go ahead and boot the LG G4 into recovery mode so that we can begin this process.
Once you have booted into TWRP(this tutorial walks you through the TWRP custom recovery but similar steps are taken if you are using something like CWM Recovery), tap on the Wipe button and then tap on the Advanced Wipe button. You will then see a list of partitions on your LG G4 and you'll want to make sure that 'Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache' are the only partitions you have selected and checked. Once those are checked, swipe the blue arrow that you see at the bottom all the way to the right. This will start wiping those specific partitions and then you'll want to tap on the Home button once that completes.
Then tap on the Install button and you'll be shown a file browser so that you can find and tap on the custom ROM zip file that you downloaded in step 1 of this tutorial. After selected, tap on the Add More Zips button so that you can find and tap on the Gapps package that you downloaded in step 2 of this tutorial. Once those are selected, you can then swipe the blue arrow to the right to begin the installation process. This shouldn't take very long but wait until it completes and then go ahead and wipe the cache/dalvik just to make sure that everything is clean.
Once wiped, you can then tap on the back button and then tap on the Reboot System button to reboot your LG G4. If everything goes smoothly, you should be booted back into Android and you should be at the activation screen. You'll need to activate Android and then sign into your Google account to begin downloading and setting up all of your applications again. I do want to warn you that the first boot into Android will take longer than the rest of them will. During this time Android is optimizing apps, building up the cache data and setting everything up to be used.

July 18, 2010 at 8:48 pm #168633Juan Antonio LopezParticipant
Sometimes I find myself completely out of ideas that are outside of the box. Personally I find inspiration sometimes from paintings but I'm wondering where inspiration for your designs comes from?
July 19, 2010 at 6:37 pm #168638Ryan SandParticipantSometimes my view of out of the box thinking is a little restricted. Find a good group of minds to share ideas and look at new ways to turn perspectives. In this respect I enjoy galleries music venues and the occasional trip outside. I think no matter what it is, my sketchbook always being on my person is important. Even if its the smallest hiccup of an idea, writing it down, moving on and processing the sketchbook isn't home to final renderings but initialized ideas.
July 19, 2010 at 7:32 pm #168637Nate HommelParticipantI'm curious about where others get their ideas from, but for me I read as much as possible. By reading as much as I can get my hands on, things have a way of popping into my head. My desk is surrounded by reference books, my home library is also pretty well stocked. I try to read theory based books, "picture books", technical books, etc. You never know when something you read today can help you later on.
And I don't leave the house without my Moleskine!
July 19, 2010 at 11:12 pm #168636Trace OneParticipantbooks, books and more books. preferably with LOTS of pictures..matching image from books in head to site – sit at site and meditate..
July 19, 2010 at 11:58 pm #168635Benjamin BoydParticipantAnd places like Land8 are a great resource. Where my book budget falls short I have a huge library of just image clippings and articles that are tagged with things like "great pedestrian path" or "interesting take on a plaza." Forms and arrangements from graphic artists and painters are often applicable to my designs. Often Ive been presented with a site and thought that some totally unrelated element I saved on my harddrive a year ago could help me come up with an idea.
July 20, 2010 at 7:15 pm #168634Sean D. HendersonParticipantI would say that 90% of my inspiration comes to me in those few quiet moments as I drift off to sleep… I suppose my mind finally drops all of the pretense, forgets the program requirements, and just wanders through the basics of what I have to do. Most nights I wind up sitting up in bed with my sketch book worked up into a frenzy trying to get all of those strokes of genius (hah!) down in some legible fashion. I have also found that sitting down and writing (rather than drawing) helps me tremendously. Mostly it's to rid myself of all the ideas I am always trying to keep in my head so I can just relax and freethink. Finally, when all else has failed, I try to find a public space and just have a seat and people watch… That eyes-on observation reminds me of the who/what/where/when/why/hows of these places we are creating, and helps to focus my own intentions on the people that will ultimately be making the most of the space.
And when all else fails, Serendipity always pays me a visit when I least expect it, as long as I'm open to the possibilities…

Editionen & TexteEditionen & TexteEditionenDie Geschichte der Edition von Graupners Werken beginnt schon zu seinen Lebzeiten. In den Jahren 1718 und 1722 brachte Graupner Sammlungen von Claviersuiten im Selbstverlag heraus (Partiten auf das Clavier, Monatliche Clavir Früchte). Von einer anscheinend ebenfalls auf diese Weise veröffentlichen dritten Sammlung (Partiten Vier Jahreszeiten) ist nur eine Partita (Vom Winter) in Darmstadt erhalten. Während sich der Darmstädter Sänger und Theaterbibliothekar Ernst Pasqué Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts zwar für eine Renaissance des inzwischen vergessenen Darmstädter Hofkapellmeisters stark machte, aber keine praktischen Notenausgabenfolgen ließ, brachte erst das frühe 20. Jahrhundert dafür die entscheidenden Impulse. Im Rahmen der seit 1892 erscheinenden Denkmäler Deutscher Tonkunst, die im Zuge einer sich neu etablierenden musikwissenschaftlichen Forschung ausgewählte Werke von Komponisten des deutschen Wirkungsraums herausbrachten, erschien 1907 auch ein erstes Werk von Christoph Graupner: in Band 29/30 der Reihe – Instrumentalkonzerte deutscher Meister – war auch ein Concerto für 2 Traversflöten, 2 Oboen, 2 Violinen, Viola und Cembalo vertreten. 1926 gab der Darmstädter Graupner-Forscher Friedrich Noack in dieser Reihe schließlich einen Doppelband mit insgesamt 17 Kantaten Graupners heraus (Ausgewählte Kantaten). Da diese Denkmäler-Ausgabe (Partituren) zwischen 1957 und 1960 neu verlegt wurde, lässt sich bis heute gut darauf zurückgreifen; die vor über 70 Jahren erschienenen Bände sind mittlerweile z.T. bereit retro-digitalisiert zugänglich. Es scheint, als hätte diese Präsentation in der Denkmäler-Reihe Initialwirkung gehabt. Man war endlich auf das Werk des Darmstädter Hofkapellmeisters aufmerksam geworden und begann, sich für sein Schaffen in seiner ganzen Breite zu interessieren. Nach Noacks Kantatensammlung lag der Fokus anschließend komplett auf dem Instrumentalwerk, das man den Musikinteressierten nun offenkundig ebenfalls näher bringen wollte. So erschienen in enger zeitlicher Nachbarschaft die ersten Einzelausgaben, und peu à peu nahmen alle größeren Verlage Graupner in ihr Programm auf; eine kontinuierliche Pflege des Graupnerschen Oeuvres ist allerdings nur für den Schott-Verlag in Mainz festzustellen (die erste dort erschienene Edition stammt von 1939, die jüngste von 2008). Im Einzelnen waren dies (Links führen soweit vorhanden direkt auf Editionen zu Christoph Graupner):
Im Zuge der immer größeren Bedeutung der historisch informierten Aufführungspraxis kam es in den letzten 20 Jahren zu einer sprunghaft angestiegenen Zahl an Neueditionen; diese gingen mitunter auch mit Neugründungen von Verlagen einher, die sich speziell der Musik der Barockzeit zuwandten. Auch Produktionen im Selbstverlag wurden immer populärer und umfänglicher. Eine Auflistung ist deshalb an dieser Stelle weder sinnvoll noch nötig, da diese Ausgaben - sofern ihre Herausgeber der ULB Darmstadt ein Belegexemplar zukommen lassen – über den OPAC der ULB Darmstadt eingesehen werden können. Da auch immer mehr Chorleiter und Dirigenten auf das Vokalwerk Graupners aufmerksam wurden, verschob sich der in den Zwischen- und Nachkriegsjahren eindeutig auf der Instrumentalmusik liegende Schwerpunkt deutlich zu den Kantaten. Transkription KantatentexteSeit 2007 arbeitet Dr. Bernhard Schmitt im Rahmen einer Ehrenamts-Tätigkeit an der Transkription der Kantatentexte Graupners. Längst nicht zu allen Kantaten liegen Textdrucke vor; angesichts der zunehmend internationalen Verbreitung der Musik Graupners (nicht zuletzt durch die Digitalisierung und Bereitstellung seiner Manuskripte im Netz) besteht gerade im Ausland zunehmend Bedarf an einer Umschrift der Kantatentexte. Die Christoph-Graupner-Gesellschaft plant nach Abschluss eine separate Veröffentlichung dieser Transkriptionen. Hier finden Sie eine Übersicht über die bereits transkribierten Kantatentexte. |

EnglishChristoph Graupner (1683-1760)BiographyWho was Christoph Graupner? That one can even write about Christoph Graupner (1683–1760) marks a peculiar failure of his project to erase himself from history. Had he been successful, his entire corpus of works — some 1,400 cantatas, over 100 sinfonias, and more — would have been entirely destroyed. In an anonymous biographical notice published in 1781, some twenty years after his death, the author writes that Graupner But not only was his music preserved from destruction in the eighteenth century, it has managed to remain almost entirely in one place until the present day. But this has had negative consequences too, for the very same course of events that kept Graupner's music together also prevented its circulation and study for the first century and a half following his death. Graupner was born on January 13 (the date not being documented), 1683 in the small Saxon town of Kirchberg, roughly 13 km south of Zwickau. Though not born to a musical family, he was fortunate to receive instruction from the local cantor Mylius and organist Nikolaus Küster. In 1694 he departed for Reichenbach to follow Küster, and remained there until he was admitted as a pupil at the Thomasschule in Leipzig, where he studied from 1696 until 1704. He remained in Leipzig for two more years, studying law at the university. During his Leipzig tenure, he received instruction from both Johann Schelle and Johann Kuhnau. He also made the acquaintance of fellow student Johann David Heinichen (1683–1729), who would become Kapellmeister at Dresden and author the important treatise Der General-Bass in der Composition. He must also have gotten to know Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767), then director of the Collegium Musicum, and only two years his senior. In 1706, war between Sweden and Saxony forced Graupner to emigrate to Hamburg. Such was Graupner's luck, or rather, he says, divine providence, that the day before his arrival in Hamburg, Johann Christian Schiefferdecker vacated his position as accompanist at the opera to depart for Lübeck, where he succeeded Buxtehude as organist. Though Graupner remained only three years at the Theater am Gänsemarkt, he composed some operas, collaborating with Reinhard Keiser on some more. It was here that Ernst Ludwig, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, invited him to take up a position at the court of Darmstadt after hearing him play in his capacity as harpsichordist at the opera. He became Vice-Kapellmeister in 1709, and succeeded Kapellmeister Wolfgang Carl Briegel in 1711, even before his death in 1712. This is a point worthy of emphasis: Ernst Ludwig hired an opera composer primarily to write church music. In these early years, Graupner had a well-funded ensemble at his disposal, and was able to devote significant time to opera composition, alongside his work on cantatas and instrumental music. However, in 1719, this ideal situation began to deteriorate. Financial pressures forced reductions in the size of the ensemble, and obliged those remaining to secure secondary employment; these changes also led Graupner to cease operatic composition. Matters came to a head in 1722, leading to the best-known event in his career. After the death of Johann Kuhnau (1660–1722), the post of Thomaskantor in Leipzig became vacant. Though Bach would go on to take the position, he had not been the town council's first choice. Telemann was the initial selection, but he withdrew from consideration after receiving a salary increase in Hamburg. This cleared the way for Graupner, the council's second choice. But he was unable to secure release from his employment at Darmstadt, and was offered an increase in salary and benefits — combined with a guarantee that his salary would receive priority payment — leading him to withdraw from consideration. That he would be ranked by his contemporaries among the top composers in Germany at the time speaks to his considerable talent and reputation. So far as is known, he did not attempt to leave Darmstadt again. Graupner gives few details about his final decades in a letter to Johann Mattheson — written in May of 1740 for his Grundlage einer Ehrenpforte — except to say that he is extraordinarily busy. He says: In the early 1750s, Graupner, by then in his late sixties, went blind — cantata composition ceased entirely after 1754 — and he died six years later. After Graupner's death, the position of Darmstadt court Kapellmeister fell to Johann Samuel Endler. Unlike the instrumental music, the cantatas were seen as valuable for reuse in the court chapel, a purpose for which Endler evidently continued to use them. It appears that the manuscripts themselves were in the possession of Graupner's children, and that Endler had to borrow the materials from them. However, sensing the value of this music, the heirs, who did not have any use themselves for this considerable quantity of music, sought to sell it to the Landgrave Ludwig VIII, the son of the man who initially hired Graupner. When this suggestion was put to the Landgrave, however, his response was less than positive: why should he, who had already paid Graupner a salary for the last fifty years, need to pay more for the music that he wrote during his tenure? Indeed the Landgrave seemed almost baffled that the heirs would even think to ask for compensation — his personal involvement ended here, and aides handled all further correspondence. In 1766, the heirs wrote again to the court, and this time enclosed a series of supporting materials, including a letter of support by the Gotha Kapellmeister Georg Anton Benda (1722–95). After laying out criteria to determine whether or not the works belong to the court or to the composer's heirs — including whether ownership was contractually specified—Benda ultimately sided with the latter. One might argue that this document is part of the gradual development of the concept of intellectual property: the works are not mere occasional accompaniments, whose value dissipates after their initial performance, but rather they are the products of a creative mind, and they naturally belong to their creator, unless otherwise reassigned. This latest missive was evidently enough to convince the Landgrave's advisors to offer 400 florins to the heirs, but this was dismissed by the Landgrave as being far too high. When Ludwig VIII died in 1768, the matter remained unresolved, and when his son, Ludwig IX, took the throne, the court musical establishment was changed so extensively that there was no longer any need of cantatas. As the descendants themselves gradually passed away, the music was slowly consolidated into the possession of Graupner's niece Maria Luise Köhler (née Wachter). By the second decade of the nineteenth century, the value of the music had clearly changed in the eyes of its possessors, and, for that matter, in the eyes of its potential purchaser, Grand Duke Ludwig I (formerly known as Landgrave Ludwig X). Rather than being marketed for their utility value — their potential use in the court chapel — the heirs saw them as a cultural treasure for the territory, and appealed to the art- and music-loving duke on these terms. In a letter from March 1819, they refer to Graupner as a "famous composer" whose music is "particularly suitable for the collection of his royal highness." (As had the first generation of heirs, this generation also tugged at the duke's heartstrings, describing in detail their financial straits.) At last, this argument seems to have resonated: the duke purchased the music from Graupner's heirs for the equivalent of 275 florins — almost half the amount contemplated some fifty years earlier. The music was entered into the court library's nineteenth-century catalogues, but so far as is known, the music was unused, and simply sat in storage, unperformed and unstudied. The fire-bombing of Darmstadt on September 11, 1944 was enormously destructive: virtually the entire city, including the Residenzschloss, the site of the court library, was destroyed. Yet the music survived, having been evacuated to a safe storage location, outside the city, the previous year. When it returned to the city, after the war, it was now the instrumental music that was thought to be more valuable than the cantatas—the latter were simply tied into bundles, grouped together by annual cycle. Not until the 1970s, over two hundred years since Graupner's death, were they properly repackaged, and this is how they remain today. In a real boon for scholars, the Technische Universität Darmstadt is digitizing its musical holdings. How far we have come from the locked cabinet of the 1760s. Today, there is something of a Graupner renaissance underway. Several recent recordings have featured his music. Likewise, in the last ten years or so, several dozen of his instrumental and vocal compositions have been published for the first time. There has been a commensurate increase in scholarly focus as well, led by, among others, Oswald Bill, Ursula Kramer, Christoph Großpietsch, and Beate Sorg. Admittedly, we are unlikely to see the complete publication or recording of his enormous oeuvre, but any work to bring to light the life and music of this fascinating and important figure in eighteenth-century music history is to be commended. © Evan Cortens/Beate Sorg 2017 Services (in German)
Christoph-Graupner-Gesellschaft e.V.The Christoph-Graupner-Gesellschaft is a registered non-profit association, founded in 2003 by an union of Darmstadt cultural politicians and experts. The primary objective of the association is the promotion and dissemination of the compositional work of Christoph Graupner, the longtime Kapellmeister at the court of Hesse Darmstadt. This is achieved by the organization and promotion of concerts, together with the scientific processing and dissemination through lectures, conferences and publications.

Services (in German) ResearchBibliographyTo be done SourcesAlmost all of the autographs Graupner's works, which are still extant and recognised, can be found in the collection of the University and State Library in Darmstadt, from the collection of the Hofkapellbibliothek of the first Grand Duke established about 50 years following Graupner's death. Within the scope of a large digitization project, not only all Graupner manuscripts of the ULB Darmstadt have been digitized, but also various compositions by other composers of the 18th century; they are available in the digital collections of the ULB. However, individual works are located outside of Darmstadt; the libraries of Frankfurt, Karlsruhe, Berlin and Paris belong to the owners of these additional compositions. Their locations can be easily identified using the RISM online catalog.
EditionsThe history of this corpus of Graupner's works begins in his lifetime. In the years 1718 and 1722, Graupner published collections of keyboard music in self-publishing (partitas on the Clavier, Monatliche Clavier-Früchte). From a third collection, also published in this way (Partitas Vier Jahreszeiten), only a partita (Vom Winter) in Darmstadt is preserved. While the Darmstadt-based singer and theater librarian Ernst Pasqué caused a renaissance of interest in the now forgotten Darmstädter Hofkapellmeister in the mid-nineteenth century he did not leave any practical notes, the early 20th century brought renewed interest and scholarship. Within the framework of the German monographs, which were first published in 1892, to further the course of newly established musicological research, selected works by composers of the German schools were published. In 1907 the first work by Christoph Graupner appeared: in volume 29/30 of the series - There was also a concerto for 2 trumpets, 2 oboes, 2 violins, viola and harpsichord. In 1926 the Darmstadt-based Graupner researcher Friedrich Noack published a double volume with a total of 17 cantatas of Graupner (Selected Cantatas). Since these ground-breaking editions were re-published between 1957 and 1960, it is possible to gain a clear overview of the compositions. These volumes published more than 70 years ago are now. It seemed that this preliminary work was having some impact through the monumental DDT series. At last the work of the Darmstadt Hofkapellmeister had been noticed, and musical scholars and performers began to be interested in Graupner's oeuvre in all its breadth. After Noack's cantata collection, the focus then switched completely to the instrumental work, which was obviously also to be brought closer to the wider musical world. Thus the first single editions appeared in close succession, and piece by piece all the major publishers included works by Graupner in their catalogues; a continuous cultivation of the Graupner's oeuvre is, however, only to be found for the Schott publishing house in Mainz (the first edition published there from 1939, the most recent of 2008).

Rome / Bloomberg
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has compared Europe's recent economic policies to administering drugs to artificially prolong the life of a terminally ill patient.
A regular critic of the European Union's budget deficit rules, Renzi said in an open letter published by La Repubblica on Thursday that austerity economics had resulted in Europe being left behind by the United States.
"The countries that have had growth in Europe have achieved it only because they broke the deficit rules," he wrote, citing Britain and Spain, currently growing but running respective deficits at five and six percent of their GDP. "In economic terms, the United States is better off than eight years ago. Europe is worse off. To reduce it to a newspaper headline, or a Tweet if you prefer: Obama did well, (former European Commission President) Barroso did not."
Renzi added: "If a remedy is not working after eight years I think you can call it pointless treatment.
"Because if austerity is all you have, you die." Renzi has clashed regularly with European Commission and German officials over Italy's demands for leeway on the interpretation and application of rules on public finances for members of the eurozone. His latest onslaught came a day after he compared the EU to the orchestra on the Titanic, which reputedly played on as the ocean liner was sinking.
Renzi said a change of economic policy was much more important than the creation of a collective finance ministry for the eurozone, an idea being pushed by leading central bankers and for which Italy has offered backing.
Renzi also reiterated a proposal that future European Commission presidents should be appointed after US-style primaries to establish the leading candidates.
The idea had been interpreted as a jibe at current incumbent Jean-Claude Juncker when Renzi first proposed it earlier this month.

Using a microwave, instead of the oven or hob, can cut £5 a month off your electricity bill, according to Jennipher Marshall-Jenkinson, president of the Microwave Association (yes, that is a real thing).
That means you save £60 a year - which is quite a bit more than the cost of most new microwaves.
It makes sense, with a microwave all the energy goes into the heating the food, and isn't lost from the side of a pan or leaks out of the oven door.
Now I'm all for saving money and there is no reason to disbelieve her, but how much can you really use a microwave oven to cook? Well for the next few days I was going to find out.
Cup of tea
I always start the day off with a hot cup of tea so thought I would see how the microwave faired with boiling the water. In two and a half minutes, which was quicker than it took the kettle to boil, I had a cup of microwave tea, but was it any good?
Microwave vs kettle: Cost to boil 1 mug of water
No! Heating the water in the microwave left a scummy film on top and it didn't taste anything like the tea I am used to. I managed a few gulps before the rest went down the sink. I'll be sticking to the kettle for my future brews.
Instead of tea, I thought I would try my luck with a cappuccino. I don't own an espresso machine or fancy milk frother so thought I'd get the microwave to help out.
I heated milk in a glass jar for 2 minutes, popped the lid back on top and gave it a good shake. I then poured the milk onto half a cup of instant coffee, making sure the froth was spooned over the top.
It was pretty good. Actually, for being homemade I couldn't really fault it. Although it was obviously weaker than a real cappuccino with espresso, I would make another cup as a great cheaper alternative.
Scrambled eggs
Next up I attempted to make scrambled eggs. The recipe for this couldn't be easier. Beat two eggs in a microwavable dish (you could use a large mug instead) with 2 tablespoons of milk. Microwave on high for two minutes, stirring every 20 or so and you're good to go.
The taste test came out fine. It wasn't as fluffy as scrambled eggs made on the hob but they weren't that bad. I may consider making scrambled eggs in the microwave again if I was in a real rush, and the bowl was a lot easier to wash up than when I cook them in a pan!
Spaghetti Bolognese
I started to get adventitious when it came to dinner. We love Bolognese in our house and have it at least once a week but what would it taste like from the microwave?
Taking a chopped onion, garlic, carrots and mince, I placed the ingredients into a microwavable dish and cooked on high for five minutes, stirring half way through. Once done, chopped tomatoes, water, stock cube, purée and mixed herbs were added, stirred, covered and cooked for a further seven minutes. Finally I gave it one last stir, recovered it and microwaved for a final 10 minutes.
The spaghetti was also straightforward to prepare. It went into a microwave bowl covered with boiled water and one tablespoon of oil and was cooked on high for eight minutes, with a stir half way through.
This was more like it! The sauce thickened up really well considering I didn't add a huge amount of fluid. It can take the same amount of time to make a Bolognese on the hob (when we're in a rush) but the meat turned out more tender and my family polished the entire lot off.
Sunday roast
The ultimate test came next - the Sunday roast. Could I manage to cook the entire meal just with the microwave?
Chicken: Chicken was the meat of choice. I removed the skin as it wouldn't cook well, or crisp like in the oven, and drizzled it with a little oil and a good shake of pepper and mixed herbs.
In it went into the microwave for 30 minutes (I was using a 700W microwave so adjust the timings to suit your microwave to avoid under cooking it).
I could smell it cooking and did worry that it was going to be a wasted but the bell pinged and I opened up. It smelt delicious and looked like a normal cooked chicken.
Would you tray a microwaved 'roast' dinner?
Vegetables: Because of the lack of room in the microwave, the vegetables needed to be cooked separately. Potatoes were cut up a little smaller than when I'd normally cook roasts and placed in a bowl with a good glug of oil. Cooking time was 20 minutes turning them halfway through.
Carrots and green beans were prepared as normal and microwaved for five minutes with two tablespoons of water. Lastly, I filled a mug with four scoops of gravy powder and filled the mug with cold water from the tap. It went into the microwave for three minutes.
Verdict: Sunday 'microwave' dinner
All in all I was impressed. It was a lot quicker to prepare than an oven roast dinner and also cost less because of using the microwave. But what about the taste?
The chicken was amazingly moist and I couldn't fault it. I may just start cooking my chicken like this all the time as it's so much quicker.
The vegetables had been steamed well and had a slight bite to them still and the gravy worked out fine.
The potatoes on the other hand were odd. I managed to eat one but the next was hard all the way through and the next tasted like a rubber.
After the sort-of success of roast dinner we had to try a couple of puddings. With cheesecake being my favourite, this was the obvious choice.
The recipe again is straightforward. Just add two tablespoons of sour cream, one tablespoon of cream cheese, one egg, one teaspoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon of vanilla essence and two teaspoons of sugar to a mug and give it a good mix. Microwave it for a one minute 30 seconds and stir very well. Pop it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight, if time allows, and serve with broken ginger biscuits as a base.
As an avid cheesecake lover, I was really impressed with this. Who knew you could use the microwave to make cheesecake?
Chocolate mug cake
For the final dish (and because my wife asked) we chose to attempt a chocolate mug cake with ingredients found in the cupboard.
In a large mug I mixed two tablespoons of white sugar, self-raising flour and hot chocolate powder with an egg, one tablespoon of oil and one tablespoon of milk. Using a fork, I whisked it in the mug until it was smooth and popped it in the microwave for two and a half minutes.
I let it cool and ate it straight from the cup! This is by far a new family favourite and a lot easier than making a whole cake from scratch.
Which microwave dish looks tastiest?
Microwave: win or lose?
According to government statistics, 83% of households in Britain own a microwave. With this in mind, I'm pretty sure that the majority of them aren't used to their full potential and they really should be.
Putting the energy cost savings to one side, I really don't think you can choose an outright winner. Apart from perhaps the tea (which was awful!), every dish we cooked in the microwave was of a satisfactory standard.
Would we carry on using the microwave to cook our meals? Yes, definitely. We were really impressed with the speed and taste of the chicken – and the chocolate mug cake was to die for!

Applied Clinical Trials
New technology has led to a transition from pens to digital signatures and it is becoming a part of everyday life for the pharmaceutical industry.
With the transition from paper to electronic comes the switch from pens to digital signatures. It's par for the course. But electronic signatures are not new. They've been around for some time. Can you even recall the days when UPS drivers carried around a clipboard and pen? The technology has become a part of everyday life for people and businesses, including the pharmaceutical industry.
Within life science, big pharma was among the early adopters of electronic signature technology. Back then, companies used it for internal applications only, and they were on their own in terms of guidelines for use since FDA had not yet released 21 CFR Part 11--Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures. When final rule did emerge in 1997, compliance became a concern.
Rodd Schlerf, life science practice manager at San Francisco-based ARX, a provider of digital signature and data security solutions, describes compliance efforts as having come in two waves. At first, companies used electronic document management systems like Documentum along with a proprietary digital signature. Eventually, however, they realized their limitations. Explained Schlerf: "These companies said, 'we're creating electronic records but they're proprietary, and the only way we can trust the content is within that system.'"
No good. So, in the second wave, a number of big 10 companies turned to a nonproprietary digital signature solution using a public key infrastructure (PKI) arrangement. This approach supported digital signatures regardless of vendor and document management system. It was an improvement, but in an industry as highly regulated and legalistic as pharma, hurdles still existed.
Then around 2004, some of those top 10 companies that had gone the PKI-route formed the SAFE-BioPharma Association (Fort Lee, NJ). Separate working groups focused on technical, identity management, and proofing standards, in the end creating the SAFE-BioPharma Digital Identity and Signature Standard. Other participants in the effort: FDA's CBER and CDER, and the European Medicines Agency.
"Industry developed SAFE-BioPharma with the view that there would be one individual identity for one person so that you wouldn't have five different digital identities," SAFE's President and Chief Executive Officer Molly Shields-Uehling told Applied Clinical Trials. "And these signatures would be recognized by each other and regulators, and would be enforceable." The "each other" in Shields-Uehling's quote refers to other members of the SAFE Trust community. Right now there are 13 member companies, including Pfizer, J&J, GlaxoSmithKline, and Merck.
There's a fee to join, which starts out at around $6000, and companies must sign a contract agreeing to accept and abide by the rules. In return, members obtain a trusted, digital identity either from SAFE-BioPharma or a vendor that has been certified by them as an "issuer." A number of signing technologies are available to members, including a USB, smart card, and roaming ID that allows signing from anywhere with an Internet connection.
But despite its advantages and that more companies are embracing digital signatures, SAFE-BioPharma hasn't yet attracted a huge following. In 2008's Liquent Regulatory Affairs survey from Thomson Reuters, only two percent of respondents said they were "addressing the SAFE initiative." And while 25% reported plans for implementation, Schlerf—whose company is a SAFE vendor partner—says that outside of large pharma SAFE is not a topic of conversation.
It's not that these companies aren't using trust networks though, they're simply establishing them through vendors like Microsoft and Adobe. However, truer words may not have been spoken than when Shields-Uehling said SAFE-Biopharma is gaining traction considering that both companies are now involved with the nonprofit; Microsoft became a SAFE vendor last year and three of Adobe's products are SAFE certified.
Moving forward, the fact that SAFE-BioPharma is cross certified with the U.S. Federal Bridge—a gateway for exchanging documents with government—should help it gain more traction. Schlerf believes the FDA Gateway will eventually be "the" path for electronic submissions, and the Liquent survey revealed a 10% jump from last year in companies using technology to support it. Good thing since a deadline for going fully electronic is coming, predicts Shields-Uehling. —Kerri Nelen

Many months ago my attention was drawn to a 25 minute, comic one-act opera monologue written for mezzo-soprano based on the words of American cooking personality Julia Child. The friend and colleague who sent me the music said he could imagine me singing the role, suggesting it would be a fun piece to perform at some point at our country house, Brycefield Estate. I found a performance of the opera on youtube sung by American mezzo-soprano Joyce Castle, and agreed it looked like a lot of fun; a piece combining my love of singing and cooking. I've been trying to find the time to learn it ever since. Can you guess what my personal COVID lockdown goal was?
When the Coronavirus took hold last year my partner and I decided to live full time in Lovedale in the Hunter Valley. As singing engagements both in Australia and overseas were cancelled one by one, I realised I was going to have a lot of free time during 2020. We are lucky to have a lot of space on the property. I tended my vegetable and herb gardens and began spending many happy hours in the kitchen. My thoughts turned to learning Bon Appetit! by composer Lee Hoiby. I began researching the life of Julia Child and how the opera came to be. With so much time to spare, browsing through the acclaimed chef's recipes was a real pleasure.
I always follow a recipe when I cook, although I definitely treat cooking as more like an art than a science; a bit more of this, a bit less of that. The overwhelming popularity of Julia Child came not just from her culinary expertise but from her matter-of-fact style and self-deprecating humour. She liked to experiment and she set out to demystify French cooking for an American audience. To quote from My Life in France, "Learn how to cook – try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!"
I can say with certainty that learning Bon Appetit! the opera was fun! I don't think I've ever had to imitate a celebrity figure before. The music is quite tricky, although, like most scores, it begins to make sense when you live with it for a while. The composer actually wrote Bon Appetit! for Jean Stapleton, who, despite being best known for her role as Edith Bunker on All In The Family was also a trained singer. When Julia Child was asked for recipe recommendations by the composer, she suggested "something with a lot of action." The idea of a bouillabaisse or chicken marengo was considered but it was a chocolate cake that was settled on; the cake she made in Episode 228 of The French Chef which aired in 1961.
This recipe certainly supplies a lot of movement for the singer/actor. The hardest part of the learning process was definitely adding the 'cooking' or production component to the music. Fitting the required actions (beating egg whites, melting and tempering chocolate, greasing the pans and sifting flour) into the exact number of musical bars given was really something that required repeated rehearsal and continuous cleaning of the kitchen! As the libretto says, "when you're going to do a cake, you've really got to have to have a battle plan."
The rehearsal studio…
I am pleased to say that now we are back on the stage in 2021, performances of Bon Appetit! are up and running. Pianist Sharolyn Kimmorley AM and I have had more than a few laughs putting it all together. I'd like to say the outcome is predictable every time, but, like all good live theatre, there are always a few variations when you cook and especially when you cook and sing at the same time!
"Not as neat as it could be…" says Julia. Luckily is usually tastes good, despite appearances!
Our first pre-performance showing was held in the kitchen of Brycefield House as part of the second Brycefield Estate Music Festival on March 28th, 2021, and this was followed by a dinner show on April 20th at the Foghorn Brewery in Newcastle as part of The Food Festival.
More on the Newcastle Food Festival can be found here.
We are pleased to announce that our next dinner show will be at the iconic Bennelong Restaurant at the Sydney Opera House at Bennelong Point, Circular Quay on July 21st, 2021. Click here for more details and to book a ticket.
Finally, here is the now-famous recipe for Le Gateau au Chocolat l'Eminence Brune for you to bake at home. It really is a "very delicate cake" and worth trying. The difference is you can take all the time you like!
Happy cooking and Bon Appétit! Here is the recipe.

Windows Maps gets lane guidance and traffic cameras in latest update
Windows Maps for Windows 10 desktop and Mobile has received another pretty nifty update. Incoming with this version is lane guidance in turn-by-turn navigation, the ability to tap into and look at feeds from various traffic cameras, and even the ability to "track Santa" as he does his rounds later this month! Here's the official breakdown of what's new from the changelog:
- Pin your Home or Work to Start for one-tap guided directions from anywhere
- Find Santa and follow him as he travels around the world on December 24th*
- Get lane guidance in turn-by-turn navigation (requires Windows 10 November update)
As a bit of an aside, while the changelog mentions the ability to pin directions to Start for easy access, this was already included in previous versions. The text has been changed slightly, however, from "Ping Guided Directions" to "Pin Directions."
One of the biggest additions in this update that isn't noted in the changelog is that there is a new "Cameras" option that will let users take a live peek at the traffic conditions in some areas. Bing recently added support for 35,000 traffic cameras across 11 countries and now it's in mobile too. Check it out below:
Though it may not get used a ton, this is a really cool feature that's likely related to Bing Maps getting similar functionality in November. Add in lane guidance for turn-by-turn navigation, and this update feels like one of the best yet for Microsoft's fledgling Windows Maps app. To check out all of the latest bits and bobs, be sure to grab the update from the Windows Store at the link below.

Not only the editors and testers were surprised by sudden instabilities of the new GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, but also the first customers who were able to get board partner cards from the first wave. An interesting pattern of behavior emerged that did not affect all cards or manufacturers and the problems only occurred at certain boost clock rates above or just around 2 GHz. To make matters worse, NVIDIA has obviously also slightly undermined the quality management of the board partners (AIC) due to the secrecy – unconsciously, of course, but with plausible consequences. A chain of adverse circumstances? This could well be the case, because this explains the somewhat diffuse error pattern from the most diverse forums.
Start of production without real function control?
Let's start with the latter, before I get lost in the technical analyses. You probably remember when I wrote that the board partners couldn't use working drivers yet and only work with a very limited driver and NVPunish. Since the driver problem lasted until shortly before the launch, but the first wave of cards had to be produced already, the functional testing of the first models was obviously limited to power-on and thermal stability. Running, not running. However, this does not say much about the chip quality and the possible maximum frequencies that the respective chip can safely handle.
Thus, it would at least be plausible that cards could have been sold as OC cards, which wouldn't have passed a real quality test at the manufacturer with the delivered settings. Real binning? Nothing. Subsequent selection of particularly overclocked cards? Impossible, in fact. And so it is by no means impossible that one or the other "Potato" chip could also have gotten lost on such an OC card. We know the consequences from the posts of the buyers in the relevant forums.
Wrong component selection? Plausible!
Now let's come to the fact that even good chips have dropped out now and then. That they are good, you can see for yourself e.g. by the boost cycle and the temperatures. So it is quite easy to find out with a selected card. This brings us now to a point that I was actually very unconsciously haunting the back of my mind at first, and which then solidified into a realization when comparing the boards of different models So let's go directly to the "reference board" PG132, which can also be understood as a so-called Base Design. Especially the backside and especially the area below the BGA is interesting. What is interesting about such drawings and the so-called BoM (Bill of Materials) is that you are offered different placement alternatives.
I will (have to) simplify the following for better understanding. Below the BGA we see the six NECESSARY capacitors for filtering high frequencies on the voltage rails, i.e. NVVDD and MSVDD. Apart from the fact that there is still enough high-frequency "garbage" from the voltage converters, it is mainly the so-called GPU load including all jumps caused by boost, which leads to very broadband frequency mixtures, which become more extreme the higher the boost clock goes. The BoM and the drawing from June leave it open whether large-area POSCAPs (Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors) are used (marked in red), or rather the somewhat more expensive MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor). The latter are smaller and have to be grouped for a higher capacity.
According to the list and specifications of Nvidia, both are possible. In terms of quality, however, good MLCCs are better able to filter the very high frequency components in particular. In the end, this is simple practical knowledge, which only often enough collides with the world view of a financial controller. If one searches the forums, it seems that the Zotac Trinity is particularly affected when it comes to instabilities starting at certain boost clock rates from around 2010 MHz. A feat, because Zotac is relying on a total of six cheaper POSCAPs.
And what does NVIDIA do with its own Founders Editions? One does it obviously better, because I could not reproduce these stability problems with any FE even very clearly beyond 2 GHz (fan to 100%). If something went wrong, it was almost certainly a driver problem. If we take a look at the FE, we see only four SP-CAPs (red) and in the middle two MLCC groups of 10 individual capacitors each (green). This is definitely the better solution and the optimal compromise. because especially the middle areas should best be provided with suitable filters (short circuit of the high-frequency frequency mixtures).
If it is only about NVVDD, a single MLCC block may be sufficient to solve the most serious problems. For example, MSI uses only one on the Gaming X Trio, which is theoretically enough, but could have been better solved if, for example, the 2.1 GHz were to be used with water. Whether this is still enough would of course have to be tested. PC Partner, Zotac's mother company, seems to have recognised this and is obviously changing its cards. By the way, the following example is from a soldering experiment that was NOT made by Zotac, but which confirmed the effectiveness of MLCC smoothing very impressively. One can almost be envious of these soldering skills.
By the way, you also have to praise a company here that recognized the whole thing from the start and didn't even let it touch them, as the Asus TUF RTX 3080 Gaming consequently did without POSCAPs and only used MLCC groups. My compliments, it fits!
Interestingly, all board partners are silent on this issue, no matter who you ask. No answer is also an answer, because this behaviour is the absolute exception and almost resembles a muzzle decree. This is because components are normally spoken freely when the launch has already taken place. But here comes nothing but meaningful silence. This also applies to the question of whether the BoM was subsequently changed again to completely exclude the exclusive use of POSCAPs/SP-CAPs.
Sometimes things are so obvious that you really have to look several times to see them. But once you have understood it, many things suddenly go from nebulous to plausible. NVIDIA, by the way, cannot be blamed directly, because the fact that MLCCs work better than POSCAPs is something that any board designer who hasn't taken the wrong profession knows. Such a thing can even be simulated if necessary. I will of course stay on it, because my interest is naturally aroused.
Please read also the latest follow up to that sory:
