ZOTAC tunes up ZBOX with Intel Core processors
New platforms get Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 and i3 processors
Graphics card manufacturer ZOTAC International this week announced that its ZBOX mini-PC will be fitted with desktop Intel Core i5 and i3 processors in a bid to "supercharge" performance to rival full-size desktop PCs.
"Users demanded the same performance as larger desktop PCs from our ZBOX, but the small size made it virtually impossible to deliver the same performance as desktop PCs," said Carsten Berger, senior director, ZOTAC International.
"After many months of engineering and fine tuning, we came up with a solution that enables us to install desktop LGA1155 socket Intel Core i5 and i3 processors without sacrificing size, noise or power consumption that will make our end users very happy,"
Users have two choices of processor with the third-generation ZOTAC ZBOX with Intel Core Processors. Casual users seeking performance for everyday computing can opt for the dual-core Intel Core i3 3220T-equipped ZBOX ID88 series, while more demanding users can step up to the Intel Core i5 3470T-equipped ZBOX ID89 series.
The Intel Core i5 3470T processor adds Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology to automatically increase clock speeds of individual processor cores up to 3.6 GHz depending on computing demands of the operating system and applications. Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) is designed to enhance virtualisation capabilities on the Intel Core i5 3470T for enhanced performance for virtualisation uses.
Intel HD Graphics 2500 graphics processing seeks to transform the third-generation ZOTAC ZBOX with Intel Core Processors into powerhouse HTPCs (home theatre PC) with Intel Quick Sync Video technology for fast video conversions, Intel InTru 3D technology for smooth Blu-ray 3D playback with advanced audio technologies, and Intel Clear Video HD technology for hardware-accelerated high-definition video playback.

Williams undergoes knee surgery
Rising junior guard Kenny Williams had successful knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee on July 7, according to a release from UNC Athletic Communications. He is expected to be ready to return to the court in time for preseason practice in mid-October. Williams started 22 of the season's first 26 games before missing the final 14 contests after suffering the injury in February. Williams averaged nearly 24 minutes and 6.2 points per game prior to the injury.
Williams got the opportunity for a larger role in his sophomore season because Theo Pinson missed the first 19 games with a foot injury. Pinson returned on January 8, but the Tar Heels played just 10 games with both players available. Pinson slid into Williams' starters role when the sophomore went down.
Pinson may have eventually been elevated to a starting position regardless of Williams injury, but that's all hypothetical. The Tar Heels won the national championship in 2017 with Williams in a suit, but they would be thrilled to have both Williams and Pinson in uniform for the duration of the 2017-18 season.

CAPE ELIZABETH — Town Manager Michael McGovern on Monday said he hopes to have new traffic and parking patterns in place within a month at the town's Recycling Center after receiving recommendations to improve safety.
The study by engineers from Portland-based Woodard & Curran was ordered after the Nov. 24 accident at the center that killed retired Public Works Director Herbert Dennison, 79, who was hit by a car.
Also Monday, Police Chief Neil Williams said tests indicated alcohol was not a factor in the accident.
McGovern said he and Public Works Director Bob Malley agreed the best approach to prevent another accident is to prevent vehicles from entering the compactor area. Instead, four diagonal parking spots will be created in front of the building.
"Users would have to carry their trash the short distance from the back of their vehicles to the hopper," McGovern said. "They would then drive out moving forward with no backing up at all."
The assessment prepared by engineers Randy Tome and Megan McDevitt presented three alternatives to improve pedestrian and vehicle safety at the Dennison Drive center.
McGovern plans to review the report with town councilors at a workshop on Jan. 5, 2015, with information to be mailed to households a week later. The changes would be in place by Jan. 21.
The new patterns would affect three commercial waste haulers, McGovern said. The lack of vehicle access would force them to truck waste to the ecomaine facility in Portland.
McGovern said he was meeting with the haulers Monday to review the changes.
Tome and McDevitt also suggested two alternatives: allowing vehicles to back in to the compactor area, or creating three lanes allowing vehicles to pull along side the compactor area.
But, their report said, "Woodard & Curran recommends (diagonal parking access) as the best of the three alternatives with respect to both safety and functionality of the facility."
As currently set up, the compactor and hopper area has room for three vehicles to back in and park. The hopper is in the bottom of a two-story shed.
Tome and McDevitt also recommended better protection above the 44-inch retaining wall at the top of the hopper. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration mandates fall protection for hazards of at least four feet (48 inches).
"OSHA, however, is specifically written for the safety of employers and employees," the report said while suggesting the town conform to International Building Code standards requiring protection for fall hazards of 30 inches or more.
Police investigation
Williams on Dec. 17 attributed the accident that killed Dennison to driver error. Dennison was walking to the compactor area when he was struck and knocked into the trash hopper by a Ford Explorer driven by Christine Sharp-Lopez, 72.
Williams said a full accident report has not been received, but he was aware it concluded there was no vehicle malfunction. He continued to believe, he said, that Sharp-Lopez apparently stepped on the Explorer's accelerator instead of on the brake pedal.
On Monday, he said he has been told tests of Sharp-Lopez's blood-alcohol level indicated she was not operating under the influence of alcohol. Police are expected to send the results of their investigation to the Cumberland County district attorney, who will decide if charges will be filed against Sharp-Lopez.

Spring is here, the sun is out, and March 25 is just around the corner! In the last few weeks, the TEDx core team has been hard at work preparing gifts, publishing press releases, going over registration, and more, while the speakers have fully memorized their speeches. Check out the great coverage we received from the Gazette Newspapers in Long Beach! This exciting event has been ten months in the making, and we at TEDxYouth@AlamitosBay invite you to join us this spring to see what all the fuss is about.

More students are willing to study in the USA than any other country, and for good reason. The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly referred to as the United States (US or U.S.), America, or simply the States, is a federal republic consisting of 50 states, 16 territories, and a federal district. The 48 contiguous states
and the federal district of Washington, D.C. are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is the northwestern part of North America, west of Canada and east of Russia, which is across the Bering Strait in Asia, and the state of Hawaii is anarchipelago in the mid-North Pacific. The country also has five populated and nine unpopulated territories in the Pacific and the Caribbean.
The United States is the world's third or fourth largest nation by total area (land and water), ranking behind Russia and Canada and just above or below China. The ranking varies depending on how two territories disputed by China and India are counted and how the total size of the United States is measured: calculations range from 3,676,486 square miles (9,522,055 km2) to 3,717,813 square miles (9,629,091 km2) to 3,794,101 square miles (9,826,676 km2). Measured by only land area, the United States is third in size behind Russia and China, just ahead of Canada.
Education in America (USA)
High standard of living and education does not mean pricey tuition and living fees. Cost of living and Study in USA is affordable as compared to other countries. The US Govt. places great importance on learning and has developed a first-rate education system not only for citizens but also for international students. The US has more than 2800 colleges and university institutions where nearly 6.5 million International students study in different courses for various programs. USA is a leader in technology. This simply translates into an advantage, which gives the students who study here, an edge over others, in real life. Hence a US degree is beneficial in several aspects and preferred over others.
Associate degrees
Associate degrees can be completed in about two years of full-time study. These degrees are offered by two-year colleges, also known as community colleges, as well as by some colleges and universities that also have four-year undergraduate study programs. Two-year/community colleges often charge lower tuition fees than four-year institutions. Some associate degrees are designed to allow graduates to join the workforce immediately in technical/administrative positions. Others allow graduates to proceed directly into the third year of a bachelor's degree. Students considering an associate degree need to look at the goals of the particular programs that they are considering.
Bachelor's degrees
Most bachelor's degree programs can be completed in four years of full-time study. Each year, over one million bachelor degrees are granted at almost 2,500 colleges and universities across the United States, in many different fields of study.
Master's degrees
A master's degree can be completed in one or two years of study following the bachelor's degree. Master's programs often require a major research paper in addition to coursework.
Doctoral degrees
Doctoral programs require an additional three to five years of study beyond the master's degree. They are the highest degrees awarded and require coursework as well as original research and a dissertation.
Professional degrees
Medicine, dentistry and veterinary studies are four-year programs following the four-year bachelor degree course. Law school requires three years of full-time study after the bachelor's degree. Admission to first professional degree programs in medicine or veterinary medicine is extremely competitive—it is almost impossible for non-U.S. students to enter. First professional degree programs in law are also competitive and are strongly focused on preparation for U.S. legal practice. If you are interested in these fields, we encourage you to work toward licensure at home first and then come to the United States for advanced studies. Professional degrees in engineering, pharmacy or architecture can be earned through undergraduate study (though degrees in these challenging fields often require five or six years to complete rather than the typical four years). It is also possible to enter these professions through graduate study.

Glenn, a college sophomore, has a Sociology 102 paper that requires spending time with an unfamiliar group or culture. Luckily, two hot girls from his class have the same idea: Attend the university's game club to get reaction material for their papers.
A creepy game moderator shows up, ready to start a game of Monsters, Maces and Magic. Glenn doesn't fret over the GM's disturbing vibe, figuring it'll lead to potential fodder for his paper.
Moments after rolling up his character and beginning the adventure, Glenn, his two classmates, and three other players are drawn into the game, literally. How and why they got trapped in the game, transformed into their RPG characters are important questions, sure. But simply surviving a world filled with horrific creatures, unknown magic, and perilous roads is first on the list.

Before we discover what November has waiting for us, a word about Jupiter now in Scorpio. Our largest planet can always be counted on to do it big and this merger with Scorpio is no different. In less than a month, decades old sex crimes are coming to light involving several perpetrators and Robert Mueller has issued the first set of many subpoenas to come. You can expect more of the same for the next 13 months. Whatever's been hidden won't stay that way now that truth-telling Jupiter has embraced the Scorpion proclivity for probing into those dark closets. On a personal level, an era of self-discovery is underway. You may want to check around your own closets and take care of what you find before the universe does it for you. I have a transit report available to help you identify where Jupiter is going to be your friend for the next year and where you may need repair.
The combination of the Full Moon in Taurus on the 4th and the Sun in Scorpio makes this a time that is both practical and emotional. The fixed nature of both signs ensures a long-lasting effect. But a difficult aspect with Venus and Uranus could mean a hard spell for even the most stable of relationships and erratic turns in finances. Be cautious about both for the next 2 weeks.
Messenger Mercury moves into Sagittarius on the 5th where expansive Sagittarius can be overwhelming to detail-oriented Mercury. This energy is honest to the point of bluntness. Mercury's time in this sign can end up being a blessing though, as open-minded Sagittarius helps us broaden our thoughts. Mercury has a reputation for being a bit of a wild card when it moves into this bold and sometimes reckless sign. That's because Mercury is all about ideas and words, and Sagittarius is all about action. This combination could lead to speaking without thinking, accidentally saying something rude, or spouting off things that simply aren't true.
On the 7th Venus moves into Scorpio and deeply passionate relationships are the focus. Superficial flirtations and contacts do not satisfy now, as we yearn for "body and soul" contact with someone special, contact that breaks the taboos, that is extreme and intense, and that is unforgettable. This is a highly emotional position for Venus.
We speak directly from our hearts with the hope of influencing the flow of events during the New Moon in Scorpio the 18th. This moon turns our awareness inward and gives us the clarity to see what outmoded habits we need to shed. This moon burns away our illusions and reminds us of all that isn't authentic about ourselves. We're poised for powerful, personal renewal at the deepest level and encouraged to let go of stale behavior in order to manifest new, healthier actions.
We'll all breathe a sigh of relief on the 21st, when the Sun moves into jovial and optimistic Sagittarius. While there won't be any candy-coating the issues, Sagittarius season helps us turn a wider lens on all the ills of society that the Scorpio season dredged up.
Neptune is the dreamy planet, which at its best makes us see beyond the tangible world and explore spirituality, faith and fantasy. The dark side of Neptune is that its love of illusion can inspire us to escape to alternate realities we've created for ourselves, our delusions. So with Neptune moving direct on the 22nd, it once again encourages us to live in denial. Although with Jupiter now in Scorpio stirring the truth pot, it may be harder to do so.
And …it's the holiday season. Though there are no hard transits on Thanksgiving Day, there are still hard feelings. Let's put it all aside and call a truce for 24 hours. A quote a man much wiser than I…
"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it -- always." Mahatma Gandhi

It pointed to the citys refusal last month to permit an apartment building for the homeless as an example of the overlay blocking mentally ill people from living in the neighborhood. Ability Housing of Northeast Florida, the Jacksonville-based nonprofit that planned to refurbish a 12-unit building at 139 Cottage Ave., sued last week saying the city had violated the Fair Housing and Americans with Disabilities acts.Links: FULL STORY at jacksonville.com Read more about Springfield zoning discriminates against mentally ill, violates fair housing rules

This weekend saw Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake take over London with three performances at the Wireless Festival. On Friday night Justin performed live, followed by Jay-Z closing the Saturday night of the festival. Sunday night, though, was the moment of real excitement and anticipation: the first ever performance of the pair's Legends Of The Summer joint show. The duo played a greatest hits set with over 40 tracks appearing on the epic setlist, the show taking over two hours. But who was better? Justin Timberlake or Jay-Z? We pit the titans head to head.
It has been commented by people on Twitter far meaner (and funnier) than me that Justin Timberlake dresses like a child at a wedding. While his trilby hat remained firmly on his head for the duration of the weekend, it's hard to deny that Timberlake also looked pretty slick. However, Jay-Z rocked up on Saturday night wearing a chain that looked like it cost more than the GDP of some small countries. It's a close one but Jay-Z's understated class and overstated wealth wins out here. Winner: Jay-Z
Pound for pound, these two are pretty evenly matched. For every 'Cry Me A River' there's '99 Problems'. When Justin does 'Like I Love You', Jay-Z is able to call on 'Empire State Of Mind'. It's hard to separate both artists' biggest songs but watching both his headline set and the Legends Of The Summer show, you can't help feel that Jay-Z just has the edge due to the pure number of hits in his arsenal. The benefits of a career spanning more than two decades. Winner: Jay-Z
"Have y'all been on iTunes today" asks Timberlake on the Friday night, forgetting that the Olympic Park is essentially a car park where 3G is about as fictional as a unicorn listening to the Azealia Banks album. This means the audience have not heard JT's new song 'Take Back The Night' until he performs it live for the first time. The song, like a lot of Timberlake's new material, feels wafty and aimless. 'Mirrors' is outstanding but this is the exception, not the rule. Meanwhile, Jay-Z's 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' seems full of potential hits with 'Tom Ford', 'Somewhere In America' and 'Holy Grail' greeted like old classics. Winner: Jay-Z
Justin appears to be desperately seeking credibility at this stage of his career, preferring to play his guitar than bust out any huge routines. However, when he does move, the boyband roots come through and he shows he can really move. On the other side, Jay-Z is never going to be caught spinning on his head, preferring the odd arm pump to anything more energetic. Winner: Justin Timberlake
Jay-Z likes to keep his talk to a minimum, thanking fans for making his new album number one in the UK and a timely dedication to Trayvon Martin. On the other hand, Justin Timberlake has all the lines and even references "birds and blokes" during Senorita, a classy nod to his London surroundings. Winner: Justin Timberlake.
Not to say that Justin Timberlake has no friends (his wife Jessica Biel watches from side of stage for his headline show) but nobody makes it out onto the stage. Not even Joey Fatone, no matter how hard I wish. Jay-Z, meanwhile, is able to call up Rihanna fresh from her T In The Park performance and have her come on stage for 'Run This Town'. It's a stand out moment in a set of big moments and one that only Jay-Z could have delivered. Winner: Jay-Z.
Jay-Z – 4
Justin Timberlake – 2

As if this past week's orange and red security threat alerts aren't making us nervous enough, there are a slew of documentaries coming out soon on DVD or working their way across the country in limited release at art-house movie theaters that further illuminate the atrocities of war, terrorism, and governments out-of-control. As I mentioned last week here at Idol Chatter, I saw several independent documentaries recently at Michael Moore's film festival in northern Michigan and it's time now for me to highlight the best of the bunch.
The reason to make an effort to see these films is quite simple. Societal change cannot happen without further awareness of the pressing issues of our culture. Documentaries give coverage to these issues that soundbytes on TV simply can't. The danger with watching any of these documentaries is that the documentary film is no longer an art form of presenting fair and balanced information, but an art form that, with few exceptions, celebrates rhetoric as its means of communication. So these films require a great deal of effort from the audience, as they must sift through what is simply emotional appeal and what is the truth.
And if watching these films discourages you too much about the present condition of our world, just head to the cineplex and watch "Talledega Nights" one more time.
The Road to Guantanamo: A mix of documentary and drama, this film tells the little-known story of three young British men of Pakistani descent who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and were thrown into prison at Guantanamo Bay for two years because of it. I had never heard of this incident and found the details absolutely horrfying. The film is clearly going to be a P.R. nightmare for the Bush administration if the movie gets any kind of national release.
The War Tapes: A reporter was asked by the National Guard to do a documentary as an embedded journalist. Instead, she arranged for cameras to be given to the soldiers to allow them to shoot the film. The result is a raw look at life behind enemy lines and wouldn't exactly make a good recruiting video for our military.
The Canary Effect: Native American cinema is rare, and this documentary traces the history of what the United States government's policies have done to Native American culture, and puts forth the premise that the genocide of Native Americans is still happening in our society today. Even if you don't buy into everything the movie has to say, it is truly a haunting look at the struggle of Native Americans to survive.
Who Killed the Electric Car?: Michael Moore gave this film his coveted "Roger Smith Award" (the award is named after General Motors executive Roger Smith, who was the subject of Moore's documentary "Roger & Me"). The film should play as a double feature with Al Gore's environmental documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," because "Car" tells the story of an alleged conspiracy by General Motor to kill their development of the eco-friendly electric car to make the oil companies happy.

Summer may be over in the northern hemisphere, but we can still splash around. This is one of those "hiding in plain sight" kind of tips, but it's pretty cool.
The premise: Sometimes you don't want reverb all the time, so you kick up the send control to push something like a snare hit into the reverb for a quick reverb "splash" (anyone who's listened to my music knows this is one of my favorite techniques). The reverb adds a dramatic emphasis to the rhythm, but is short enough that it doesn't wear out its welcome—listen to the audio example, which demos this technique with Studio One's Crowish Acoustic Chorus 1 drum loop.
However, although this technique is great with drums, it also works well with rhythm guitar, hand percussion, synths, you name it… even kick works well in some songs. I'm not convinced about bass, but aside from that, this has a lot of uses.
Studio One offers an easy way to produce regular splashes automatically (like on the second and fourth beats of a measure, where an emphasizing element hits). Insert X-Trem before the reverb, select 16 Steps as the "waveform," click Sync, and choose your rhythm. The screenshot shows Beats set to 1/2 so that the reverb splash happens on 2 and 4, which in the case of the audio example, adds reverb to the snare on 2, and to the closed high-hat on 4.
And that's pretty much it. Because the reverb is in a bus, set Mix to 100%. The 480 Hall from Halls > Medium Halls is one of my faves for this application, but hey… use whatever 'verb puts a smile on your face.
Some people see "Pattern" and think "step sequencing—not useful for anything other than EDM." This tip shows how to use Patterns in a rock drum context to add humanized percussion easily and effectively.
First, let's subject ourselves to a 16th-note pattern of shaker hits, which is the kind of sound that shows why people don't like step sequencers. Someone who would use this in a musical context is either not a nice person, or perhaps a pharmaceutical company executive who wants to increase sales of headache remedies.
Let's start improving matters by copying the shaker to two more pads, and creating some sonic variations.
One copy is transposed down two semitones, and has a shorter decay. The other is transposed down three semitones. All three have slightly different filter settings. By alternating the different sounds, we have something that's better. Well, at least slightly better.
Let's make it a lot better. We'll make sure the original shaker sound hits at maximum velocity on every beat to establish a rhythm.
The second row uses a different shaker sound. Because this is a busier part, we'll create some velocity variations.
Let's also introduce some repeats so that two of the hits "stutter" a little bit.
However having repeats happen the same way every time doesn't sound very realistic, and this is where the Pattern's coolest feature (well, at least in my opinion) comes into play—Probability. The notes with repeats have a fairly low probability, so they'll show up from time to time but not overstay their welcome. A few of the other notes have lower probability as well. Also, there's some added swing—not only are Patterns not just for EDM, swing isn't only for hip-hop.
Now we have a much more interesting shaker part.
If this is too inconsistent for you, it's easy to make the velocity more similar, increase probabilities…whatever. And of course, we can create variations on these Patterns, make a few changes here and there, and have them sound similar yet different throughout the song.
Thankfully, Patterns don't have to sound repetitive and boring…unless of course you want them to sound repetitive or boring. But that's a whole other topic.
Studio One's Phaser is quite sophisticated, especially because you can set the number of stages from 2 to 20. This can emulate many classic phasers, as well as go beyond what was done with typical analog phase shifters. So why do we need yet another phase shifter?
As explained last week, a phaser's response is like an EQ with multiple notches, because a pair of phase shift stages produces one notch. So for example, if you set Studio One's Phaser to 8 stages, it produces four notches. The Customizable Phaser differs from standard phasers because every filter stage can be either a notch or peak, to any degree you want. Mixing resonant peaks in with notches produces a sound that recalls a phase shifter, but has a uniquely resonant quality.
Again like last week, the Pro EQ is the star of the show. The five parametric stages are spaced an octave apart and cover a four-octave range. The trick is having a single Frequency control alter all five stages simultaneously… here's how.
Although there's a downloadable preset, delving into how this effect works is instructive. Mapping a control panel knob to a stage's gain control is easy; open up the control panel to access the Macro Controls Mapping, and for the five Gain knobs, chose the respective Gain parameter as a target. I limited the knob's range to -24 dB and +18 dB, because a +24 dB peak can be too much gain. After adjusting one knob as desired, copy the graph and paste it into the graph for the other knobs. Map Q similarly; a range of 4 to 16 works well.
Mapping and offsetting multiple parameters from a single knob is a little more difficult. Start by pinning both the Pro EQ and the Macro Controls Mapping windows. I chose the initial frequencies for the five stages as 75, 150, 300, 600, and 1200 Hz. For the Knob 1 macro, add each stage's Frequency control as a target.
Suppose you want to map the LF-Frequency target. Set the Frequency knob full counter-clockwise, click on the target's graph, and while looking at the LF Freq knob on the Pro EQ, adjust the graph's low node so that the LF Freq knob is at 75 Hz (or thereabouts). Now turn the Freq control fully clockwise, and set the graph's high node four octaves higher (1.2 kHz) according to the LF Freq knob.
Proceed to the next filter Freq knob and use the same general procedure. For example for the LMF stage, the initial frequency would be 150 Hz, and the highest frequency would be 2.4 kHz. Continue mapping the remaining stages until all the filters cover the desired range when you move the Frequency control.
You'll also note the Low Cut control is mapped to a knob that covers the range of 20 Hz to 1 kHz. Use this if the signal becomes too "boomy" with the frequency control set to a lower range.
With all the Gain controls set to minimum and a fairly sharp Q, you have the equivalent of a 10-stage phaser. Now try increasing the LMF and HMF gains to around 8 or 9 dB—you'll hear an immediate difference in the sound. Vary the Q for even more variations. You'll find that between the Q and Gain controls, it's possible to obtain phase-shifter sounds, but more importantly, you'll be able to dial in combinations of resonant peaks and notches that aren't quite like anything you've heard before. Ready for a new phase in phaser sounds? Check out this FX Chain.
Sometimes it seems that certain recorded sounds, like acoustic guitar attacks and percussion, just don't have the "sparkle" you hear when they're playing live. The Sparkler is a sophisticated brightening FX Chain that adds definition—without treble equalization.
The Sparkler is a parallel effect. Referring to the FX Chain structure, a Splitter in normal mode creates a dry path through the Mixtool. This increases the level by 6 dB to compensate for the volume drop that occurs when bypassing an FX Chain where one of the splits contributes no significant level. The other split goes to the Sparkler effect, which consists of the Pro EQ, Redlight Dist, and Dual Pan.
How it works. First, the signal goes through the Pro EQ, set for a steep (48 dB/octave) high-pass filter that leaves only the very highest frequencies intact. The Low Cutoff control varies the cutoff from 7.6 kHz to 12.5 kHz. The Redlight Dist synthesizes harmonics from those high frequencies. (Even though it has a High Freq control, that's not drastic enough a cutoff—hence the Pro EQ.) The Soft/Hard control chooses between 1 or 2 distortion stages; stage 1 is my preference because it sounds more natural, but people with anger management issues might prefer 2 stages, which gives a nastier, more aggressive sound.
The Amount control sets the Redlight Dist output, which determines how much Sparkle gets added in parallel with the main signal. Use the Sparkle Bypass button to compare the sound with and without the Sparkle effect.
The reason for the Dual Pan module requires some explanation. The Sparkle FX Chain is intended for individual tracks, buses, and even master mixes when used subtly. Highs are very directional, so if with a bus or master there's a trebly instrument mixed off to one side, like tambourine, the Sparkle effect can "tilt" the image toward the channel with more highs. The Center Highs control, when turned clockwise, brings the Left and Right "sparkle" channels more to center until when fully clockwise, the highs for both channels are centered.
Applying the Sparkle. To learn that the Sparkle effect does, it's best to listen to the effect by itself and manipulate the controls to hear the results. Unfortunately you can't assign FX Chain controls to Splitter parameters, so if you want to hear the Sparkle sound in isolation, go into the FX Chain and bring down the post-Mixtool level control all the way. As you tweak the Sparkle sound in isolation, grab only the highest audible frequencies, and avoid harsh distortion—you want just a hint of breakup, and only at the highest frequencies.
When using the Sparkle effect in context with a track of bus, start with the Amount control at minimum, and bring it up slowly. Use the Bypass button for a reality check—you want just a subtle brightening, not highs that hit you over the head and make dogs run away in panic. It takes a little effort to master what this effect can do, and it's not something you want to use all the time. But when used properly, it can really add—well, sparkle—to tracks that need it.

Garlic farming agribusiness is quite lucrative.Garlic herb is a relative of bulb onions. One acre of garlic will yield about 7 tons of garlic bulbs. At a farm gate price of 150/= per kg, the gross income per acre will be about 7,000×150=ksh1,050,000.The crop has a good and growing market in Kenya, due to it's culinary and medicinal value. This crop has pungent taste and smell and it's used for flavouring food particularly soups, meat and fish. This medicinal plant has been used successfully for pimple and boils removal from the skin, relief of rheumatism, colds, coughs and sore throats, management of diabetes and HIV and AIDS complications. Garlic herb growing is suited for medium to high altitudes of 500-2000M. High temperatures of 30ºC are necessary for optimum bulb development. Cooler temperatures in the early stages are required as they favour vegetative growth required for plant establishment. Optimum temperatures for growing the crop are 12-24ºC. Excess rainfall and humidity are detrimental to the plant's vegetative growth and bulb formation. Growing of garlic herb is carried out in low rainfall areas where irrigation can be used in the early stages when water requirement is highest.
The plant requires well drained fertile soils. Avoid clay soils as they may result in malformed bulbs. Soil Ph should be 5.5-6.8.flavour development of garlic herb is best in sunny weather. Deep land preparation is required to ensure adequate rooting depth. Individual cloves are used for growing of garlic herb which is carried out vegetatively. Bulbs for sowing from the previous crop should be stored at 10ºC and a relative humidity of 50-65%. Stored bulbs should be fumigated if mites are present and inspected periodically for storage rots.
Garlic herb growing is carried out on raised seed beds, on ridges at a spacing of 30cm between rows and 15-20cm between plants, giving a plant population of 150,000-200,000 per hectare. The cloves should be sown 2.5cm deep in well firmed soil. The seed clove requirement is about 300kg per acre or 750kg/ha.
Seed garlic is harvested while more mature since it is allowed to stay in the fields for a atleast six months consumption bulbs for consumption are harvested as early as four months. Planting garlic intended for consumption results to poor germination. There is need to take extra care to get seed garlic from reliable sources only. Some imported garlic bulbs are treated with growth inhibitors to prevent sprouting on the grocery helves and they cannot germinate.It is advisable for starters to start with about 100kg of bulbs and do bulking for one season to get adequate high quality bulb seed. The crop responds well to organic manure and 20tons/ha can be ploughed into the soil before planting
Fertilizer requirements for growing the crop vary with soil fertility .The standard fertilizer rate of application is NPK is 150:55:40kg/ha applied as 1/3N:1P:1/5K. N and K topdressing should be applied 6-8 weeks after sowing and final N application at the beginning of bulb formation. The most common pests and diseases in growing garlic herb include purple blotch, downy mildew, rust, bulb rot, nematodes and onion thrips. Control measures include long crop rotations (4 years), Field hygiene, good drainage, removal and destruction of infected and crop debris, spraying suitable insecticides and fungicides. The crop matures 6-8 months after sowing, when leaf tops turn yellow or brown, then the leaves bend over and dries out. Dig the bulbs carefully to avoid damage. Light and sprouting bulbs should be discarded. Cure the bulbs in open air under shade for 8-10 days until the plants are thoroughly dry. Market or store the garlic herb bulbs. Dry storage of the bulbs for two months is sufficient to break dormancy. The length of crop growing period before garlic herb plants starts bulb formation determines yields which ranges between 12-15 tons/ha-more.Read also

It is SO hot today, you just need to look at the pictures to see how sweaty I am. It must be over 35 degrees C, it's literally boiling. I only regret not being able to wear Summer clothes in peace because people over here are really not used to it; they've spent the whole day pointing at my stomach.
How are we liking the one earring look? I actually really like it but I'm not doing it on purpose, I lost the other and these are my favourite earrings in the world.

Meteorologist Explains the California Fires—And Scoffs at Trump's Claims
President Donald Trump said over the weekend that the California wildfires are burning out of control because of "gross mismanagement" by California officials. A meteorologist, however, responded with some science.
CNN meteorologist Tom Sater over the weekend explained in detail why the California wildfires are happening and how they've burned out of control in a rebuke to Trump's tweet. He said that forest mismanagement is not at all a contributing factor and, citing a tweet he saw over the weekend, suggested that Trump's warning of pulling federal payments unless management improves is like pulling federal funding from the National Hurricane Center "until you stop all these hurricanes. It's the same notion."
From there, Sater went into a three-minute, science-based explanation on the California wildfires. He noted that humidity is extremely low, rainfall is at dangerously low levels, and winds on Thursday picked up, creating the recipe for the wildfires to spread. Meanwhile, rescue workers and firefighters have been working around the clock to save lives and preserve as many homes and businesses as possible.
Sater also dug into the history of California wildfires and noted that the Tunnel Fire of 1991 was the only major California wildfire before 2003 to land in the top ten of most destructive California wildfires. This year's Camp Fire is already the most destructive in California's history.
Looking ahead, Sater said that winds in mountain passes are expected to pick up again, which could cause more problems. And at the end of his analysis, he again said that forest mismanagement is not at all a problem in this fire.
After his initial tweet on the fires, Trump posted three more over the weekend. The first in the new batch honored the thousands of people fighting the fires and remembered those who have died. Another asked that people evacuate when they receive orders from state and local officials. On Sunday, however, he went back to the mismanagement tack.
"With proper Forest Management, we can stop the devastation constantly going on in California," Trump wrote. "Get Smart!"

Dear Secretary Kelly
We ask you to accept Brief 3 from Field McConnell – United States Marine and Global Operations Director of Abel Danger (AD) – on Serco agents' allegedly-treasonous use of 5-Eyes networks to detonate a U.S. Coast Guard-designed bomb under the heli-deck of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig on 20 April 2010; inject fake news into Zulu-timed death pools set up with the federal bridge certification authority by Citibank Treasury Officer Nora Slatkin, a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisitions) and a former Executive Director of the CIA, and, deploy Serco's Demon face-recognition software to extort the support of pedophile elites for an Obama carbon cap of 350ppm and the mass murder of climate deniers.
Copy of SERCO GROUP PLC: List of Subsidiaries AND Shareholders! (Mobile Playback Version)
Serco Deepwater Coast Guard Bomb –a Coast Guard onion router (Tor) network in the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) for use by its Digital Fires Instructors at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to relay the detonation signals to the bomb on the Deepwater Horizon.
Slatkin Death-Pool Zulu Bridge Network –Allegedly embedded in Serco's Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA) to conceal Internet transactions including child pornography, death-pool betting, money laundering and fake-news emails and allow Citi banker Nora Slatkin to launch Zulu-timed man-in-the-middle attacks on bridge mentors including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon.
Obama's Demon Carbon Cap Network – Allegedly set up in 1994 with Serco Demon face-recognition software by the late Jimmy Savile to track pedophiles in ambassadorial, cabinet and sub-cabinet positions in the 5-Eyes countries and extort support for an Obama carbon cap (350ppm!) in enemy states.
Yours sincerely,

On a quiet street in Béziers town, a 15-minute walk from the train station. Strolling the plane-tree shaded towpaths and admiring the locks of Languedoc's iconic Canal du Midi, visiting Béziers' Roman amphitheatre and Gothic cathedral are sightseeing essentials. Béziers-Cap d'Agde airport is just nine miles (14km) away, and Montpellier-Méditerranée airport is 47 miles (76km).
Style & character
There is possibly no more gracefully preserved or well-kept 19th-century hôtel particulier (private mansion) in the country. From the sculpted pots above the grandiose gated entrance to the original floor plan and decorative lamp at the foot of the sweeping staircase, this mansion does not have a historic hair out of place.
From 1892 until 1956 it was the cherished family home of a Strasbourg brewer (his Kayser brewery was next door), and later that of one of the town's most respected doctors. Owners Chrystèle and Florence have restored every last architectural and decorative detail to create a stunning property that fuses 19th-century refinement with contemporary comfort.
Service & facilities
Service is friendly and understated – the ambiance is very much intimate manor house (lapdog Choupette loves being petted) rather than hotel. A fire burns in the hearth in the lounge in winter, and sun-loungers with clover-embossed cushions adorn the small pool in the walled back garden, a riot of flowering jasmine in summer. Reserve in-room massages, airport transfers and garage parking (€10/£9) in advance. There is also a laundry service.

With high moulded ceilings, dazzling white walls and Egyptian satin cotton bed linen, even the smallest Les Intimes rooms feel far from small – larger Les Folies doubles are vast. Top-floor rooms (the domestic-staff quarters in the 19th century) have vintage oeil de boeuf windows and pine parquet, while more luxurious oak floorboards and big windows grace the first floor where the Kayser family resided.
Designer furniture and tech comforts like espresso coffee machine, USB plugs, latest-generation TVs and whirlpool tubs fitted with Bluetooth music systems bring rooms right up-to-the-minute.
Food & drink
Breakfast, taken by the pool in summer or in the elegant dining room with roaring fire in winter, is delightful. Floral china by Dutch designer Pip adds a delicious touch of vintage chic, and the homemade almond cake (gluten-free) is truly stupendous. The buffet includes breads and pastries, cakes, pancakes, fruit, homemade yoghurt and eggs – or order a speedier coffee-and-croissant express petit dej.
Between 7pm and 9pm room-service cooks up cheese boards, sushi and other light snacks. Otherwise head to place Jean Jaurès for outstanding tapas and Languedoc wine at cave à manger Le Chameau Ivre or modern brasserie fare at L'Autrement.

Iranian refugee Leyla Bayat was lashed 80 times last Tuesday based on a ruling issued by Iran's court system, according to social media reports.
Norway was never willing to evaluate her documents showing her being condemned to this inhumane punishment.
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights specifically bans the use of inhumane punishments, including executions and lashing.
Bayat and three of her friends were sentenced to 80 lashes back in 2007 for drinking alcoholic beverages. After being released on a bail of 7 million tomans (around $7,775 at the time) these four individuals attempted to change the ruling. Losing hope, Bayat and her then five-year old son immigrated to Norway and requested asylum. Her case, however, was turned down time and again by Norwegian authorities.
On March 11th Bayat was separated from her son, Mani, now 13, and returned to Iran. From that day she had been attempting to stop the punishment.
"I told them about my case very specifically, but the Norwegian government turned down my request seven times and refused to accept the documents I provided. They said the court ruling, arrest warrant, my lawyer's papers and all other documents I brought from Iran were fabricated and my case is a lie. They said our expert in the Norwegian Embassy in Tehran has evaluated my documents and said such court rulings are not carried out in Iran. Finally, they issued a two-year ban on European soil for me, separated me from my 13-year-old son and deported me to Tehran," she said.

Among many leading organizations, in all sectors of industry, commerce and government, there is considerable evidence of e-business being deployed to achieve strategic goals. Where this deployment has been most successful, there is a strong case that the organization has taken an integrated approach that both builds on the organization's strengths and pays careful attention to the process of change within the organization. However, in the literature most empirical work has either studied e-business strategy and performance from the perspective of strategy content – which highlights positioning and/or unique bundles of resources – or from the perspective of strategy process – which captures human influence and e-business implementation.

Indeed, a sign of the times.
I was delayed for a while since Purim from writing new posts, especially as a father of two helping to prepare our place for Passover. As it turns out, since I had a delay, I now have information to reveal about this four red moons phenomenon when it comes to Gematria.
This post will be short and sweet to the point. As just about everyone knows by now, unless you have been living in a shell, there is supposed to be a total of four red moons in intervals of six months apart. As it especially relates to Jews, these four have or will occur around the beginning of Passover and Succot when there is a full moon both in this secular year and the next secular year.
To those who have been following the news as of late as per the prophecies of the Messianic times, as well as what autistic children/adults from observant Jewish homes are telling us, and of course, the Hidden Codes of the Torah, regardless of when Moshiach will actually come, there is no doubt that a major war on Israel is on its way, and it's only a matter of time - perhaps no more than a year - but definitely before the end of the next Hebrew year 5775, with the major part of the war continuing into 5776. One of the places where this is hinted is in a matrix that includes the verse that mentions the Shalosh Regalim (three Pilgrimage festivals) - Pesach, Shavuot, and Succot, which was part of the Torah reading for the last day of Passover yesterday outside of Israel (where eight days of Passover are observed, rather than the seven days from the Torah in Israel). At the mention of Pesach, there is a code that states that "a Goy (non-Jewish nation in this context) will arise in 5775", and the name of Obama is spelled out by the mention of Sukkot. In fact, it has been long since known as shown in a matrix in the Book of Ezekiel in the section of the war of Gog U'Magog (Chapters 38 and 39) which again shows Obama's name mentioned very clearly in reference to being Gog and Magog (which in this instance, is Obama and the United States, respectively). In fact, this is the very Haftara for Shabbat Chol HaMoed of Succot, which we will be reading in both years (At times, there is no Shabbat Chol HaMoed on Pesach or Succot).
In the last 520 years, including this time, that there have been four consecutive new moons between Pesach and Succot. The first was in 1493 and 1494 following the year 1492 (Hebrew Year 5252) when the Jews were expelled from Spain, as well as Christopher Columbus's discovery of the area in the world which led people to moving to America/United States. Then, in rather recent times, this happened again in 1949 and 1950, following the year 1948 (Hebrew Year 5708) when massive amounts of Jews emigrated to Israel as well as the war in Israel in that year that prevented access to the holiest area in the world, which included the Western Wall. And then, this happened in 1967 and 1968 when in 1967 (Hebrew Year 5727), we had the Six Day War which led to reconquering major areas in Israel, including the holiest area in the world (until the evil Moshe Dayan handed the keys of the Temple Mount to the Wakf). And finally, this is happening in this year and the next year.
In case one is confused as to whether this moon sign is a good sign or a bad sign (G-d forbid) for Jews, as the moon represents the Jewish people, while the sun represents the nations, we do see that the color red is associated with war or bloodshed, and as mentioned in Joel 3:4, "The sun will turn to darkness, and the moon will turn to blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of Hashem" (this latter phrase being also mentioned at the end of Malachi in which Eliyahu HaNavi (Elijah the Prophet), who will herald the arrival of Moshiach, is mentioned. As for the sun turning to darkness, which is a total solar eclipse, this is going to happen in the following year around Rosh Chodesh Nissan, two weeks before Passover, thus hinting as a good sign for the Jewish people, as it is the sun, representing the nations, will be striked or eclipsed In any case, this red moon phenomenon will not happen again for the rest of the secular century. More details on this while subject can be found on the Hebrew site sod1820.co.il, or for those who aren't familiar with Hebrew, can find this same basic information at other sites.
But one thing is for sure. As in the previous three times, where Jews were faced with challenges between being tortured and kicked out of a country, or wars fighting the Arabs in which many Jews lost their lives, this occasion is more reason to be concerned than ever. In fact, in this round of war, Hashem will pick out the Jews worthy of remaining alive, while unfortunately, there will be others who will not be spared and will be eternally damned. Another key difference here is that while in past wars, a Jew who was murdered by a non-Jew (whether in war or other occasions), went straight to Heaven for being a martyr; on this occasion, it will instead be Hashem's filtering process of allowing only good Jews, including those who seriously repent, to survive the war of Gog U'Magog.
And while it will particularly be Israel that will be attacked, one should not think that automatically he will be safe in other countries, for as we see now already, there has been increased anti-Semitism, including in the United States, which is happening in due part to the concesssions of the Israeli dictatorship government that is desperately attempting to bring to the table to give more land away. And so, especially after seeing Obama's track record of pushing Israel to stop building of "settlements" and pressuring Israel with the peace talks when ironically, it is the Arabs who aren't happy with giving "peace" a chance. as well as Obama's alliance with various Arab nations, it is just a matter of time before Obama is going to press the red button on Israel, whether or not he will physically travel overseas to fight us Jews in our Holy Land or just send American soldiers to fight us. For ultimately, it is those who look to follow Hashem who will survive, which will include some Jews outside of Israel who have pressing circumstances of why they aren't living in Israel or are involved in Hashem's holy work of bringing Jews closer to Judaism, whose hearts are with Hashem; but in the long run, it will be a little easier in Israel, despite the location of this World War III that will involve numerious nations coming to fight us, as dictated by the United Nations, as mentioned by the autistics who have spoken as of late as to what will be happening in the very near future.
With the above said, we see a frequent occurance of the number four in relationship to the moon. For these last FOUR periods of history, as especially hinting to the Jewish nation, each consists of FOUR red moons. This is hardly surprising of the connection of the moon to the number four, for we see that it was on the FOURTH day of Creation when Hashem set up the solar system, and the FOURTH Mitzva of the Torah is the sanctification of the New Moon, as was done for close to 2,000 years until Hillel II, leader of the Jewish people, propogated in Beit Din (Jewish court) for a fixed calendar, as Jews were being increasingly scattered and endured various troubles from the nations. Moreover, we see that it is King David who is especially associated with the moon, and as mentioned in the Zohar, of the Seven Shepherds (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joseph, David) corresponding to the various holidays, it is King David who corresponds to Rosh Chodesh (New Moon). And as we see in his name, it begins and ends with the letter Dalet, the FOURTH letter with the niumerical value of FOUR. Also, as we see in Kabbala, in certain contexts, the man is the giver while the woman is the receiver, the latter being the concept of the moon receiving its light from the sun, and as we know, there are FOUR Imahot (Matriarchs) which are Sara, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. In fact, it is mentioned that it was Rachel who composed the Rosh Chodesh prayer that we recite in the weekday Rosh Chodesh prayer of Shemoneh Esrei, and as hinted as the beginning letters of the first three words, it spells her name Rachel in Hebrew as Roshei Chodoshim L'Amcha "The New Moons to Your people (that You gave)". And if this was not enough, the first letters of the beginning FOUR words of Tractate Ketubot - Betula Niseit L'Yom Ha'Revi'i "A virgin is married on the FOURTH day" as was customary in ancient times - make up the word Levana (moon) - consisting of the letters Lamed, Beit/Veit, Noon, Hei!
And as mentioned, the red sign of the moon represents bloodshed, which in Hebrew is the word Dam, the Gematria of 44 - a double four number, in units of singles and units of tens; or in another way of looking at this, a multiple of FOUR, which is 4*11. And as we already mentioned that Obama is Gog (U'Magog), it should be mentioned here that he is the 44th U.S. President, and that in fact, ALL FOUR RED MOONS ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF OBAMA'S SECOND TERM AS THE 44TH U.S. PRESIDENT! For as we know, he was resworn as president on Jan 20, '13, and his term will be over on Jan 20, '16; and as we see the timing of the four red moons on the calendar, from the first to the fourth, we can see that this time period is virtually parallel in terms of being THE MIDDLE part of Obama's second term! More on the concept of the MIDDLE, especially as it relates to the end of our exile will be discussed in this coming post.
And now, more in terms of the number four in connection with the timing of the four red moon phenomenon, let us take a close look at the Hebrew years 5708 and 5727 of the second and third times, respectively. For the year 5708, there are 292 years following this year until the end of the sixth millenium, marking the end of this world's existance, and the word Revi'i, this word which is first used in the Torah as Yom Revi'i "Day FOUR", is the Gematria of 292. And for the year 5727, there are 273 years following this year until the end of the sixth millenium, and the word Arba - FOUR - is the Gematria of 273, and the highlight of the Six Day War in 5727 was the liberation of Jerusalem which included the holiest area in the world which was on 28 Iyar, on a Wednesday, the FOURTH day of the week. Noting that these years 5708 and 5727 have special significance in terms of Israel, we say in our prayers "Bring us to peace from the FOUR corners of the earth...and walk us upright speedily to OUR LAND", "Gather us together from the FOUR corners of the earth to OUR LAND". And let us not forget that we Jews had/have a total of FOUR exiles, culminating with eternal freedom in our land which will happen speedily in our days.
Now, in case one is wondering why the number FOUR should be especially significant in terms of Israel, we see that it is in Parshat Shelach, the FOURTH Parsha in the FOURTH book of the Torah called Sefer Bamidbar (Numbers), in which 12 spies were sent to check out Israel before the Jews would enter, but most unfortunately, ended with at least virtually all the male Jews between ages 20-60, except for the Tribe of Levi, who cried their faces off believing 10 of the 12 spies who gave an evil report about Israel, which was the night of the 9th of Av, thi date that eventually became the saddest day in the Jewish calendar, which included the destruction of both Temples followed with the murder and exile of most of the Jewish population in Israel, as well as the official date of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. In short, the Jews were delayed in the desert from entering Israel for nearly 39 years.
And presently, we are in the midst of the 207th 28-year-cycle of the sun which began, being marked with the blessing for the sun, on the 14th of Nissan, 5769 ('09), which in this cycle (which presently occurs on April 8 of the secular calendar), it began on the day before Passover, and is in fact hinted to in the beginning of Tractate Pesachim in the Mishna where it states "On the "light" night of the 14th (of Nissan), we search for Chametz (leavened food or particles) by the light of the candle", as the very first word Ohr (light) is the Gematria of 207! And so, no doubt that we are in a most special time in history. Also, this phrase which mentions the FOURTEENTH of the month begins the FOURTEENTH tractate, and the Gematria of King David's name, as related to the moon part of the solar system, is the Gematria of FOURTEEN. And as seen in the verses of Creation, the first verse for the fourth day which mentions "lights" is the FOURTEENTH verse of the Torah which consists of 16 words, and the square root of 16 is FOUR.
And now, for the connection of Gematria to the number of this post - 215, which is the Gematria of the word Zarach, which means shines. This word begins a verse in Tehillim. though in the English translation, it is translated a little differently, "A light shines in darkness for the upright; He is gracious, merciful and righteous" (Psalms 112:4). This verse tells us that Hashem reveals His spiritual light to those who walk on the straight path to serve Hashem, and don't look for shortcuts or politics to do things differently. For as we see, especially in these times most unfortunately, there are even many rabbis who clearly say things against the Torah, including some of the Zionist rabbis who were outright against the Ultra-Orthodox having a demonstration and prayer services nearly two months ago, protesting and praying for averting the evil decree of the Israeli government which plans down the road to punish the Ultra-Orthodox if they will not join the self defeating army that caters to its enemies that is not very religious friendly for the most part instead of them learning Torah without unnnecessary interruptions. Imagine, all throughout Jewish history, when Jews are in trouble, they openly prayed to be spared. Yet, in this instance, even though this gathering included praying for the right to be able to learn Torah, which is the greatest Mitzva of the Torah, there were some Zionist rabbis not part of their camp who criticized such a gathering, which is what true Torah Jews took part in. Indeed, one who truly wants to walk on the straight path in serving Hashem, will be helped from Above accordingly, and will not come to say or do things against the Torah.
The Zohar speaks of the Erev Rav, which is a term used originally to refer to people of other nations who joined the Jews in the Exodus, but were not sincere in keeping the Torah, and wound up creating the Golden Calf for the Jews to worship. Anyways, the Erev Rav in the Zohar refers to those who go against the Torah.
This includes, yes my friends, even some rabbis who don't serve with their heart, but are persuaded with money, power, and politics, who will be destroyed around the time of the coming of Moshiach. However, for those who keep the Torah on the straight path, they will live to the time of the prophecy as mentioned in Isaiah Chapter 60, which begins with a verse that ends with the word Zarach, which is also the beginning of the Haftara for Parshat Ki Tavo "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Hashem will shine on you" which we hope to see the fulfillment of this speedily in our days. Amen!

Even though I am a professional…well, it's possible that it is because I am a professional, I have been incredibly lax about clearing my home this year.

Many weeks passed, the controversy of border line between Cambodia and Thailand located around Prasat Preah Vihea has likely become tense. There are debates through media and peoples of both countries. The opinions and writing are different and invaluable.
But I am in doubt that, how the controversy and conflict have incidentally happened in the meantime of election campaign in Cambodia and the increasing disfavor of Samak administration in Thailand? It is logically agreed that the negotiation or compromising between these two countries will never been happened as both sides need support from their peoples for the benefit of their political power.
However, Hun Sen's administration have played more than the expect of Thai partner as he advocate the issue to be mediated by regional Asean or UN. This proposal might madden Thailand and embarrass them in the international arena.
Hun Sen's administration is urgently drawing the attention to Cambodian peoples through its mass media about this issue and their brave decision making to settle down the conflict seems exactly become an inspiring campaign during this national election. Samak also accused Hun Sen like this, and Hun Sen's colleagues also accused Samak in this way.
In reality, we cannot conclude the intention of wild military act of Thailand, but what we can predict this activity considerably legitimate political power of political leaders. It is inevitable to presume that both political leaders gain popularity from this activity. But the consequences from this political gaining might lead to graver devastation of our both innocent peoples.
If this conflict are unstopped and become tense, the war might be unavoidable. Cambodia might loss more than Thais as our soldiers in border's front line are wearing flip-flop with old and outdated weapons. Especially, they can stand there by the donation of Cambodian peoples through the fundraising in many TV channels in Cambodia.
What I am worrying in this time is the inevitable intervention and taking advantage of Vietnam. This country will help his former friend, Hun Sen regime, to face with his former enemy, the Thailand. The context of Asean might not be able to tackle with these two country aggression. The history of Cambodia has evidenced this aggression strategy. When Vietnam invaded Cambodia, kings of Cambodia were backed by Thailand. When Thailand invaded Cambodia, kings of Cambodia were backed by Vietnam. And Cambodia territory land has gradually encroached by both countries.
More conflict continues, if it become war, and war is unstopped, Cambodia will likely become Vietnam easily under Hun Sen's administration.
