Words by Yeo
Ang Schilling and Lee Hannah make Take Your Time, and they are a breath of fresh air not only in my musical world, but also in my personal world. I live at a late-night suburban K-mart in my imagination with the former, and share a well-loved old house in Northcote with the latter. 'Sleep In' and 'I Feel It Every Day' are two of the smoothest electro-lounge-pop songs ever. The double A-side is out on 7" vinyl through Neat Lawn, a record label run by Japanese Wallpaper. Recently I had a yarn with Ang over some Malaysian food and was asked to flip the egg, so Ang and I dutifully rode our bikes to a quiet café for brekky burgers.
We've talked about our mutual love for R&B and pop before. Is there anything from those worlds that you want to put in your music specifically?
I think most of it comes subconsciously… The only thing I specifically think about maybe are the soul sounds. So probably keys, mostly. Lee does a lot of the percussive stuff. I think he probably thinks about things a bit differently, but personally I want to recreate the nice warm soul sound that I love. A lot of 90s R&B stuff has that, but it comes from a lot further back – I listen to heaps of 40s, 50s and 60s soul.
Well I think you can hear it. It gives people something to connect with.
Totally. A familiar song is just that. A good familiar pop song can't be pinned down to a certain… well you can pin it down, but I think it's nice when you feel like you've heard it before and it feels familiar.
Take Your Time always makes me want to dance, whether I'm hearing you rehearse from my backyard or hearing you play on stage. I'd like to know what dancing is to you.
It's like, my first priority in life. It's movement. Sometimes when I'm being emo I think emotions and feelings are my number one priority but then I snap back out of it and realize that dancing is my number one priority! It's everything. Lee and I both have a mutual feeling at the moment and I think that's why Take Your Time works and why we work so well together. We know that we want to make people dance.
Looking back to the beginning of your relationship with Lee, how did you come to realise you had a connection musically?
We met on the Internet when I was with Swimming and he was with Townhouses. Actually, recently when I was packing to move from Adelaide to Melbourne, I went through all my stuff and I found this note on a little bit of scrap paper that he sent with a Healthy Tapes tape. I don't know what it was. It might have been a Townhouses tape actually. It just said, "Dear Angela, thanks heaps for buying this and listening. From Lee." It maybe said like, "Let's do something together sometime". It was so lovely and emotional, knowing our relationship now, and that we're working together on this thing that is our baby. It was really sweet and really nice.
What are your feelings about leaving imperfection in music? How can you tell if something's too polished or not polished enough?
It's hard because I know that we're both perfectionists. Everything's DIY. We make all this music out of a bedroom, we've never had any money so we can't afford to use the best gear or have a studio space or whatever, but we both strive for a hi-fi sound. There are a lot of vocals where we leave the in-between bits in because they've got nice breathy sounds. You don't want to clean everything up too much because if you start doing that you might never stop. It's just instinctual I think. Sometimes imperfections add to it.
And it doesn't sound natural in the end.
Yeah. We're both pretty picky about getting good vocal takes as well so knowing that, you're just going to get to a level that you're going to get to, and if it's not perfect but you've done your best, that's all you can do.
I read in an online bio that you both like to leave space in your recordings. I see it as a technique; something you have to practice. How do you treat space musically?
Everything I make, especially solo, is so spacious. I guess Lee and I are a little bit different in that way because he often wants to fill it in and I'm like, "Leave it out," because that's how I make music. I love the space and I can't help it. It is definitely really important consciously to me, because the spaces in between vocals or beats or keys or whatever make a song. That's what makes you appreciate the sounds. I often have to get pushed to fill it in and Lee does that really well.
It's a sweet balance between you two.
Yeah, it's really nice. I definitely bring a lot more minimalism to it. He comes from the other side and we meet in the middle.
I know that you and Lee really like driving. You love the road. If you were to book a tour for Take Your Time without any time constraints, where would you go?
Oh my god. World tour. I would go to Asia. Japan and Korea and South-east Asia, China. It would be so weird and foreign. That's where I would go.
Would you get a car?
Yeah. In Japan. I think Japan would like Take Your Time.
You guys would nail it there!
I think it would be good. Also, obviously the dream is to go to the States as well and just play a billion shows in a billion cities and just drive the whole country and go to Canada and play a billion shows to no one that knows you. That's the dream. Just for novelty's sake I'd go to Japan.
But I think your music would really resonate in Japan and you'd have a great time. Especially with your setup, the shows don't have to be big.
That's right. All the Japanese venues I saw, went to or heard about are small and intimate and really welcoming. You're right, if we did a tour with no money or time constraints, it would be all driving because we like to take our time and just drive around. We're obviously heaps into walking and looking at things.
Is this your first time with a label releasing something?
With the level of support we're receiving, yeah. It's so dreamy! Swimming were with Format, which was super DIY. Lee has a label so he knows a bit of what it's about, but I think this is a much more positive label vibe for him because we know the people. This is definitely our first foray in which we've felt so well supported with people who actually have been through it all; they work with much bigger industry people, and everyone wants to work real close on a personal level.
You've done Swimming, Oliver White, Take Your Time and you're an in-demand DJ being flown interstate to play shows. You've learnt a lot about the industry by being in it. Is there anything about the Australian music industry that you'd like to see a change in?
Umm… Well...
Or tell me something that you love about it. Like how we all support each other or…
I mean, to me, there is two sides of the industry. There's the world that I've been involved in which is very community based and everyone's helping each other out a lot. No one has any money. We're all, y'know, working three jobs and really doing music for the love of it. And there's the industry-industry side, which I've only… which we got a glimpse into. There is a big separation of those two things, and as much as it would be good to get a bit more support from the bigger side of the industry for the smaller side, it's actually nice to have that small community vibe and know that we don't have to worry about that industry side.
I actually like the separation.
Yeah. If the industry wants to be like that, that's fine, we've got our crew and we know we're going to get support. There's a big gender disparity which is a big thing for me and it's getting better with groups like Listen and bookers that are actually under the pump now. There are a few venues in Melbourne now that have to have females on the lineup otherwise they won't go ahead with the show. There's a bit more literature on it now. People are writing about it and stuff. A few journals and books have been published…
So it's like a hot topic academically…
Well, not heaps academic, just people writing articles and bringing it to the forefront so that people in the industry have to take notice. So if we could keep going on that it would be really nice because it's actually one of the reasons it was easy to leave Adelaide. I felt it so strongly and I was sick of it. We were involved in a very DIY community but most of the bands in that community were boy guitar bands. We didn't really sonically fit into that crew. The crew that we fit into was a much more commercial sound and that commercial sound really has a long way to go booking women because most of the electronic producers in Australia, the people that get booked for shows and are in the limelight, whom people see as electronic producers, are male.
It's a stereotype. A typecast.
Yeah that's right. And if you're female you're the female vocalist for a male producer. DJs as well. I was playing a lot of DJ sets and there are incredible female DJs in Adelaide and Australia but that's just not what people think of or look for or they just, know their bros, who DJ. It became really personal and I didn't like that, so it was easy to move to Melbourne because Melbourne has a much better… still a long way to go, but they have a much better outlook. Just fuckin' booking anyone no matter what gender you are and being really aware of it. That's something that needs to be addressed. It is being addressed but there's still heaps to do.
Even the way you're talking about it now, you're highlighting these things that you think should change, you still sound positive about it all.
Oh yeah, because the music that I naturally love comes from females. Always. Even most of the soul I listen to is female and all the R&B that I listen to is female, mostly. I'm so in tune with it – what it means to be a female musician and the history of it. I feel really positive about it because the people I surround myself with are on the same wavelength. The first person I made music with properly is my sister so we were always in it together and music with other females was where I started.
What was the first and the last vinyl record that you added to your collection?
Oh my god. Oh shit. I don't know what the first was. I can tell you that my first CD was Hanson. I just told someone that last night. I don't know what my first vinyl was. I can't remember at all! It would've been like a soul compilation or something that I picked up for a dollar from the op-shop. The last one that I added was… I bought a few at the same time. I bought Aaliyah self-titled (which was the most money I ever spent on a vinyl), Kelela and Cassius Select. The one that came out on the London label – the one with Crook on it.
What's next for Take Your Time?
Our launch is coming up on December the 3rd at Belleville in Melbourne. We want to just keep playing shows and being excited. Probably start writing some music soon. Everyone's been really busy and away and stuff but for the next couple of months we're back in town so we'll probably start writing some new stuff.
Thanks for your time Ang.
That's okay. Thanks for the coffee.
I hope this wasn't too painful.
Check out Take Your Time's debut 7" out through Net Lawn here.

Teradyne Achieves China Sales Milestone as it Ships 4000th Eagle Test System to MPS Inc.
NORTH READING, Mass., March 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER), a leading supplier of automated test solutions, announced it has shipped its 4000th Eagle Test System, hitting a new sales success milestone for its Eagle Test System (ETS) automatic test equipment in China.
MPS Inc., a high-growth, linear, power and automotive semiconductor supplier with multiple locations in China, purchased the milestone system, an ETS-88™.
The ETS-88 is an optimal platform for testing a wide variety of devices including simple analog, high precision, high voltage, high current / power, automotive, video, audio, complex mixed-signal, as well as emerging power processes like SiC and GaN. The test system hardware is designed to provide independent floating resources per site to avoid resource sharing across sites while improving site-to-site isolation and measurement accuracy.
The flexible configuration of the ETS-88 allows MPS to configure its test cells in traditional multisite or index parallel test setup.
"MPS has extensively usedthe Eagle testers since 2009 and has built up a fleet of over 150 systems, the largest of any fabless company," said Deming Xiao, President of MPS Asia Operations. "The ETS-88 is clearly the industry's preferred platform for power linear and automotive test because of its small footprint, low cost of ownership and excellent throughput. We are pleased to take delivery of the 4000th Eagle tester. The ETS-88 has higher throughput and strong backward compatibility which can be used for existing Eagle applications, and also enables us to test today's more complex devices to meet the ever-increasing customers' requirements."
Eagle Test System's user-friendly debugging tools and common operating environment across all platforms are key enablers for fast time to market. The ETS-88 delivers the highest parallel test efficiencies of 99.9 percent across sectors, delivering the highest throughput and lowest cost-of-test for high site count solutions.
"Teradyne Eagle Test products are widely adopted in linear, power and automotive segments because our patented SmartPin resources with floating ground system architectures improve throughput and yield, translating to lowest cost-of-test," said Dominic Viens, Senior Director Product Management at Teradyne. "We are honored to ship the 4000th Eagle Test System to MPS as this important sales milestone further validates Teradyne's commitment to China and its Chinese manufacturing and testing services partners."
Teradyne began manufacturing its automatic test equipment in China in 2007. Since then, the company has continued to partner with local outsourced assembly and test companies to support the growth of the China semiconductor industry.

Jamie's Italian Head Bartender, Sebastian Brocchi races ahead in Coffee Speed Challenge at the debut 'Cucchiaini Da Caffe' event hosted by Kimbo UK and Sanremo UK and held on Tuesday 15th November 2016 in Brentford, London.
Chef and campaigner Jamie Oliver's Italian-inspired restaurant chain, 'Jamie's Italian' joined the suppliers of their coffee, Kimbo UK, and their espresso machines, Sanremo UK, for the launch of 'Cucchiaini Da Caffe'. Inspired by and named in Italian after the coffee spoon, it represented the partnership of the three brands and the importance of coffee to the Italian culture.
Thirteen talented Jamie's Italian bar staff gathered from all over the UK to attend the entertaining and informative event debut, where baristas were encouraged to take part in an Espresso Speed Challenge and then later create their very own coffee-inspired drink.
The competition took the traditional barista championship format and added a twist: the challenge stipulated that each competitor must make four espresso-based drinks - an Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte and Americano – promptly and perfectly, with time penalties for quality and technical errors. Quality and speed are important elements in the customer journey at Jamie's Italian, and the format highlights these to staff in a fun and informal way.
Sebastian Brocchi, Head Bartender at Jamie's Italian Victoria, beat 11 other staff members to claim title of the 'fastest Jamie's Italian Barista' with a winning time of 2 minutes 32 seconds and 5 milliseconds, despite penalties. When asked about the event he said 'It was extremely beneficial, I'm just glad that I won and the coffee is the best I have tried.' When asked about the machine he replied, 'the machine is amazing – can I have one?'
Kimbo UK and Sanremo UK hope to repeat the event annually as part of our partnership and the commitment we share in improving the coffee offered at Jamie's Italian. Thank you so much to those that attended, we look forward to next year.

Facebook Introduces New 'Save' Feature
Facebook came out with yet another new feature on Monday that will allow you to save pages that interest you and access them at a later, more convenient time.
This is great for someone like me who often sees things of interest on Facebook but doesn't have time to read the article attached. (I never seem to be able to remember who posted about it, and then I never get to read it.)
The web and mobile feature, which is called "Facebook Save," was created to help people who don't have time to explore links, places, movies, TV shows, etc. immediately.
You can access the feature on any page by using the "Save" button which can be found near the "Like" button. The pages you save will be archived into a list that will be organized by category, and that list will be accessible at any time that you're on Facebook's website, iOS app, or Android app. Facebook will also remind you about the items you saved by promoting them in your news feed.
Your saved pages will be completely private unless you decide to share the content.

Take a fat burning pill? eat fruits and veggies? go to an all you can eat buffet, or the gym? or sit on the couch and order a pizza to be delivered? take another fat burning pill?
I am all for humans being healthier and I have seen the cost as well as the psychological and physical issues with folks who needed gastric bypass and other help to keep the weight gain from simply crushing them. What I see more, is people eating far too many calories, most of it in the west, processed fast food in an instant gratification society where I guess one feeling discomfort or hungry is a bad thing.
Bill on the linked in boards, posted an article in the Internet boards about the genetic manipulation of the obesity gene and the development of a pill that could be taken to counteract the ability of the body gain the weight and become larger.
I asked, " what are the percentage of people that actually have the genetic makeup versus the amount of people that simply are putting too many calories in and not moving enough to burn the excess off?" It was an honest question, as like ADHD, there is an actual disease, but I see a whole lot of people diagnosed with it that most likely not the actual disease so that a pill can be prescribe to get the parent, teacher, or doctor to a place from "Johnny is simply a hyperactive kid" to "Johnny has a problem and we are medicating it. Thank god we found the problem!"
The same path appears to be on the mark for the new obesity pills. Instead of eating a sensible diet, perhaps one can take the pill and then eat all the food one wants and it will magically all just evaporate. You take a few other pills and voila…you are happy, perky, numb, dumb and zoned out, but you walk around in society with a smile upon your face. The southern USA readers will relate to "if it looks right, it must be right" in relation to the make-up we tend to put upon ourselves to cover all of our flaws and ugly bits from others view and pretend we have it all together.
What I find bizarre is when we started the Agrowbox project; the idea was to grow as much nutrition-laden food in the smallest space and least amount of time, water and with no chemical fertilizers. The problem was malnutrition and lack of calories for the orphans and refugees in the world. It turns out the Agrowvillage diet is probably 5 times healthier when compared to the average USA diet. In the USA it is cheap to eat lots of bad food, yet, to eat a decent healthy high quality diet, you pay a high price for it. If you go overseas, like Europe, it is the sugar and sweets that cost you more. Healthy vegetables and fruits are abundant and inexpensive. If you go to Africa, there is so much need in many places that even the chickens are starving and have white colored yolks.
I also used to think one had to go to the gym to be healthy. After I stopped playing American football, I did what about 80% of the players do, I kept eating the same amount of food and reduced caloric output via physical activity 85%. Yes, one day you wake up and go "what did I do to myself?" And then the slow process, that is far less fun than eating the food to put the weight on comes where the weight takes much longer to take off, than it did to put on.
So most of my life, the best insurance policy I had was an inexpensive membership to a fitness center or gym, AND, I went and used the facilities and tailored exercise routines that took the least amount of time and gave the best results. Yes, that means changing everything every workout and it was fairly high intensity. Now I see where my friend didn't think people would actually exercise, the reality is that I find exercise dull, boring, a bit hard but…I feel a whole lot better, think better, am calmer, and appear to have far less health issues than many of my counterparts in life, sans all the long term issues of American football with the joints and lack of memory from smashing ones head into another equally match head.
When I came to Switzerland, I wanted to join a gym. There are a few of them around and at first I did work out in more of a muscle head gym where there were more "keptin anabolics" walking around than I had seen since the days at Venice beach in Los Angeles. The rate for the swiss gym was ridiculous for the hours, equipment and service that were provided.
For more money, I could join a place that offered what you can get at any planet or 24-hour fitness gym. So I went online and looked at bodyweight exercise programs and paid for a few. The one I really think does the best is a guy that sends emails everyday talking about his love of pancake and using all the wrong clichés that I guess people need to hear before they do anything. So I downloaded something called bodyweight torch, looked at it and thought, "I am 52 years old, too old for this." This is the type of stuff we did 30 years ago with plyometric, strength, speed and agility training.
I was wrong.
If you just start and consistently work at it, I was amazed that my overall core health improved so much doing less than 20 minutes of high intensity work 4-5 times a week. I actually am probably fitter than when I went to the gym and did the traditional eccentric/concentric weight/cardio routines that are so common.
Inside the United States, we have so many varieties and choices of anything that we are simply spoiled not with high quality, but with mass amounts of cheap stuff to consume. The hard part is how NOT to eat a zillion calories when just one of the things you put in your mouth can easily have several hundred calories in it. For this part, I do think something has to change inside the USA to help systemic change in diet and nutrition. I am looking forward to bringing the Agrowbox and agrowvillage testing facilities to the USA, as all of the work can benefit everyone on the planet, not just the staving kids and refugees in lands far away.
We spend hours in vehicles communing, we don't really know what a family meal, the family has been told to fill every moment with their time to become everything and anything – when the reality is this illusion is not possible without something breaking over time.
It is funny, our misconstruing of priorities and obligations have left the simple act of eating a basic healthy nutritious meal, and spending a bit of time improving our physical healthy – has given way to the ridiculous notion that popping a pill is actually going to solve the problem.
All it will do is mask the problem.
But I guess we will all look good while we sweep the problem under the carpet?
- Sorry that today is a bit of a longer than normal ramble. I do understand the obesity gene, as half of my family probably has it. I am thankful that I got the genetic mix I did, yet, after guinea pigging exercise, diet/nutrition and figuring out how to grow food just about anywhere on the planet. I get sad when I go back to the USA and see the size of where the country is going, as well as how it is spreading to other parts of the planet.

Strolling Historic Deerfield
4 comments:
I've just seen this blogg and want to thank you for all these wonderful pictures. I live in the UK but I visited Historic Deerfield a few years ago. It was such a memorable place and I would love to go back and see more one day, after seeing these pictures maybe it will have to be in The Autumn.ReplyDelete
Hi, Liz.ReplyDelete
Welcome! Isn't Historic Deerfield just so picturesque though! Love it! I hope to visit there sometime in the winter, when everything's snowy. I think that would be delightful in a completely different way.
This is gorgeous! I was in Deerfield in October 2013. It was an AMAZING afternoon. We are driving up that way (yes, DRIVING) this summer and Im wanting to go spend more time at Deerfield. Such a gorgeous place!ReplyDelete
It IS a beautiful place! I had ONE day that fall that I could get away and go there, and it was that day...or nothing. Sadly, the sunlight was incredibly garish and the photos were not what I'd hoped they would be. But, all the more reason for another trip someday!ReplyDelete

The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica is proof that America still recognizes minivans. The jack-of-all-trades household hauler stays unchanged for 2019, which means it maintains all things that made Best Car to Buy 2017. The Pacifica raises the minivan aesthetic with a sleek, eye-catching design that yet hides its practical bases. The 2019 Pacifica comes close to gaining family members that have actually sworn off minivans, and its feature-packed trim levels are good enough for it to clock in at 7.8 from 10 general.
2019 Chrysler Pacifica Review
The Pacifica is still a sign of style and refinement amidst a sea of dull household wagons. The cabin sports a comfortable and considered design with also the smallest details extremely intentionally placed.
With the exception of the Pacifica Hybrid (we cover it somewhere else), a 287-horsepower V-6 and 9-speed automatic is the only powertrain available. It's more than effective enough to run the minivan down the road, and is matched by a smooth flight, responsive steering, and clean framework dynamics. The Pacifica is completely happy to handle brief trips and long runs, and its 22 mpg integrated ranking from the EPA suggests it won't require a rest stop every couple of miles.
Seating configurations in the Pacifica are unrivaled in any other automobile. Fold-away 2nd- and third-row seats offer up numerous individuals- and stuff-hauling options, and the Pacifica is just large enough to alternative to pickup obligations sometimes.
The Pacifica is one of the best-looking minivans on the marketplace and sticks out from any angle. We rank it 8 from 10 for designing. Chrysler's Batman-like logo design is shown plainly on the smooth front end, ahead of a smoothly shaped body. The Pacifica has accepted a minivan form however upgraded it with curvy sheet metal and great deals of glass. Its gliding door tracks are concealed beneath the rear windows, which makes for a cleaner profile.
Chrysler has added some aesthetic trickery that aids the Pacifica appear smaller sized than it is, with tucked-in front columns and a continuous back glass panel that diminish its silhouette.
Engine and Specs
The Pacifica is now 3 years deep with the very same standard design and powertrain, yet that speaks to the quality and levels of efficiency that it provides. We rank the 2019 Pacifica 7 from 10 for its ride quality and solid velocity. The 3.6-liter V-6 that powers Pacifica versions is lighter and more effective compared to versions before it. With 287 horsepower turning the front wheels, the engine delivers smooth velocity and a lot of strike.
The Pacifica's 9-speed auto is much smoother in its application than in other FCA cars, with much less jerk from equipment to gear. There is no straight control of the equipments, however the rotary control dial does have an "L" placement that aids in low-speed cornering and towing.
Crash scores for the 2019 Pacifica aren't yet complete but taking into consideration the van's similarity with in 2015's version, we could rollover those ratings. In 2014's Pacifica performed well in crash examinations and made a Top Safety Pick classification from IIHS and 5 star from NHTSA. It gains an 8 on our safety and security range.
With standard blind-spot displays and back car parking sensing units, the Pacifica is a real parking area performer, and numerous trims add forward-collision warnings with automated emergency braking, flexible cruise ship control, and a surround-view camera system.

Scam Letter(s) from Ksenia Vshivtseva to S. H. (USA)
Letter 1
Hi! It's Katerina! I think that you have many questions to me. I'll try to tell you everything about me. I hope that you'll tell me about yourself too. Ops… I don't know what to tell you about myself at the beginning, but I hope that you'll understand me. OK. I'll try to begin. My full name's Katerina. My friends call me Katya, but you can call me as you want. I won't be offended.:)) I live in city Cheboksary , Russia. Do you know? - Cheboksary is in the north of Russia. My growth of 175 centimeters, weight of 58 kg? my age 28 years, it's normal? because for me has no value, how many to my elect will be years because I consider, that the most important, these are feelings, understanding, trust, support. And all rest, it is simple words. Which mean nothing, as well as age, between us! I began to get education in usual russian high school here. After I finished it I entered the pedagogical university. I work in school in Cheboksary. I work as a teacher of Russian language. I usually work since 8-10 mornings till 5-7 evenings. I usually wake up early 6.30 to have time to do everything, to prepare for a meal and to take a shower. I come back home in 8 evening. Sometimes I remain at school to use the internet in the evening. I'll have an opportunity to send you letters only from Monday till Saturday, because I haven't got a computer at home. I use a computer at my work. On work I can use a computer almost freely. So it's more convenient for me to write you from my work. It depends not on my desire. With a computer works another employee. I haven't bad relations with her, but she can give me a computer only when she has a free time. For this reason I hope that you understand me. And now answer my questions please, if you can: Do you like your job? Tell me about it something… About place where you live right now for example??? If you can and want certainly… What's your favorite film & kind of music maybe? You may tell about yourselves something interesting in addition also. You may not answer these questions. I think it's really simple questions.:) In my next letter I'll necessarily answer other your questions. I send you my picture. I hope it's pleasant to you. I look forward your letter and your pics too.
Your new friend Katerina!!!
Letter 2
Hi Bemywife! How is your day? I hope that you're glad to receive my letter because when I've received your letter I really was delighted. At once I want to tell to you about my opportunities to write letters to you. I had not time to tell about it in my last letter. I write to you from my job because I have not a personal computer. The computer is in accounting department. Lady who works with a computer will sometimes allow me to use a computer in my interests, but only when this lady has a free time. It does not depend on me unfortunately. I work six days in a week - from Monday till Saturday. It's the standard established in Russia. On this I'll not be capable to write to you and to receive your letters on Sunday from my work. We in Russia, have not enough people who has house a computer and consequently me to have to use on work as they at us very dear, Russia, very difficult country! I very much love children, age of my pupils from 7-10 years, and I like to learn them that children have grown, and much that have achieved in a life. I studied language of your country from school because to me your culture always interested, and I hope that you to me too tell more about your country.
The difference in the age, for me does not matter, because I consider age not the main thing in attitudes. In attitudes the main thing that there was a harmony. The person should understand the half as they should live together up to the end of a life. And it needs understanding, trust and respect, I hope, that you think as.
Thank, that you have told to me about your interests, it sounds well. I promised you to tell what music I like. Now I've some free minutes and I'll spend this time to tell to you about my interests with pleasure. I like various music. It depends on my mood. I like to listen classical music. I like Dunaevski And Chajkovsky. I like to listen simply instrumental music. Such music allows relaxing and having a rest. When I listen to such music I like to reflect on much. I like to listen to guitar masterpieces of Joe Satriani. I like group Dire Straits very much. I like Beatles. They are not similar to anybody. It's great group. I like Madonna, Robbie Wiliams and G. Michael and many others. I like many Russian musicians. For example Philip Kirkorov, Valeria or groups: Chaif, Splin. But you do not know these musicians. I like cinema very much. In Russia there are many good films and talented directors as Tarkovsky, Konchalovsky, Mikhalkov. My favorite movies - Siberian Barber and Tired by the Sun. It's masterpieces of the Russian cinema. The hollywood movies are popular too. I like hollywood movies and I like many actors. For example: Mel Gibson is good actor. I like films - The Sixth Sense, the Rainman, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Gone with the Wind, the Godfather, Groundhog day, The Scent of a Woman. My favorite actors - Bruce Willis, Al Pacino, Kevin Costner, Samuel L. Jackson, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Demi Moore. I think you know all of them.
Whether it is a lot of at you happens a free time? At me a free time happens not so much because I am borrowed all time by work. Even at home I am engaged in work. Work of the house for me, is check of writing-books of pupils. Every day I need to check writing-books, happens that them much. In the evening I check writing-books about 100 pieces. It is a lot of, and from for it I have not enough time to spend it for myself. But when it at me happens, I go on a visit to my best friend Dasha. Sometimes I go to walk on streets.
I receive holiday only one in the year. It goes under the schedule if I shall not take holiday in it to year at me it will not be. At us in Russia very complex system of work and holidays.
Hmm … What else to tell about me? I never was in other country, but I always was interested in other countries, and I dream, that I shall probably travel when that in the life. I know about other countries only through the TV. I was never married and I have not children. I'm lonely and the reason of my loneliness not only in me. However, I do not know if it's interesting for you. I live honestly, and it brings pleasure to me. I'm optimist and I like to smile, because a smile is a mirror of our souls. For my happiness is not required many things. Probably, the main thing that does not suffice me now is love. People without love cannot be happy. But when near there is a close person whom you love, that our life becomes fine irrespective of where you live and what you have. But the loneliness fills in life by sadness. But I do not want to tell about sadness anymore. I'm glad that I've an opportunity to write to you and I'm glad that you write to me. And at present it really causes a smile on my face. I shall a little tell, why I search for the guy and husband, from other country because I had a guy earlier, but it with me was very rough, and was so, that it to me changed to me with other woman and after that, I to myself have told, that I shall never search for the man in Russia more, they only are able to drink constantly vodka with the friends, and never put women on the first place. Here therefore I do not wish to have the husband from Russia. Bemywife, tell to me why you search for the destiny, the woman from whom you would be happy, from other country in what your reason? I should finish my letter. Have you the big family? What do you look for in a soulmate, Bemywife? If you do not want, you may do not answer my questions. I have not any relatives who live with me. But I've some girlfriends, only one best girlfriend. Her name's Dasha. We are friends during 18 years. She's a true friend. She always helps me, as well as I help her. She has very kind heart. For the sake of our friendship we can return all what we have. I'm very glad that I've such girlfriend. Have you any friends?? So I'll look forward to hearing.
Letter 3
Hi Bemywife! I am frankly glad that I've a possibility to write you again.
I want to tell you about my mother, because when I say about my Mum - I tell about my family. It's really so because I have never seen my grandfather and grandmother and I have not brothers or sisters. I was only one child in the family, and my family consisted of two people - my mother and I. I really feel great proud when I say about my mother because she was a very good woman. But together with this, every time the recollections about my mother cause tears and I can't keep them. My mother died when I was 17 years old. Three years before her death my mom has damage in road accident. She was standing in the street and she was knocked down by a car. Probably the driver was strongly drunk, because the witnesses said that the car moved by zigzag and suddenly appeared on pavement. Mum was paralyzed as a result of it. She has spent three years in the wheelchair. I looked after her did all that was in my opportunity to make a life for which she was fated since this moment - easy and joyful. I spent little time with my friends and practically I spent near my mother all my free time. I was crazy happy when mother smiled, because she smiled very seldom. She was ashamed of her helplessness. Every time when I was going home after school I looked at the window and every time my mother met me. She was looking through the window and smiled. It was happened always. She met me every day and never forgot it. That's why I felt alarm at once when 11 years ago I looked at the window and didn't see my mother there. I understood that something is wrong. I rushed home with tears in my eyes. When I opened the door I understood that I stayed alone. My mother was sitting in her chair as usual. But she was dead…
I remember how I stretched my arm and touched her pulse. Darkness has appeared in my eyes and my feet didn't obey me. I couldn't stand. I thought I would go mad. I've felt that I lose consciousness and lain on the floor. I sobbed and couldn't quiet down. I couldn't imagine that I'll live without mom. This was the person I lived for. All that I did in my live - I did for her. Forgive me that I've told you about this so in detail. But I say about my mother seldom. But when I say about her I can't do it in couple words. I loved her very much and that's why I told you little things about her. Forgive me please. I decided to share my recollections with you as with a friend, because I didn't speak about her with anybody for a long time. Forgive me that my letter is a sad, big and uninteresting. Simply, when I begin to say about my mum I can't stop. But I promise not write such letters anymore. Now I rent flat in Cheboksary. There's a one room, kitchen and bathroom. I understand that this is a little flat but I feel convenient in it. And it isn't far from my work. It takes me 20 minutes to get to the school. I often walk to my work when I'm not late and the weather's good. I get to the school by bus sometimes. But I don't like it because the buses are always full and it isn't convenient to stand there.
I wanted to ask you about a nationality also. Is the nationality of a person important to you? I don't have such prejudices. I want to tell, that the nationality isn't important for me. I don't think where a person was born. I want to find a man with kind heart. I love kindness and I hate a rage. The most important for me in a man is honesty and kindness. It's impossible to create the world of harmony and love without it. Isn't it, Bemywife? Roughness destroys love. I'm ready to give all my love to a man who also is ready to give me his love. I think that in any relations the main thing is mutual respect and mutual understanding. I think it's not so much. The rest isn't important for me. Kindness. Honesty. Respect. I've to finish. Sincerely and with best regards. Katerina

text: So bare with me a little as I start to piece together this website. I had a website way back in 2009 and I let it expire. I wasn't too comfortable with putting work out on the internet that I didn't feel was quite ready for viewing. I finally feel like I have started to put together a much more cohesive body of work and feel like I have way more control over the kilns that I fire. So with that said, I do still have more work that I want to put on this website and don't feel like it is quite finished yet, but I am excited to finally be able to put my work out there besides only on facebook and instagram. I'm hoping to keep this blog going and help keep people informed on what it is that is going on in my ceramic life. Feel free to send me some feedback on the site. I hope you find it interesting and user friendly.

The Dutch MP Geert Wilders was greeted with applause from the public gallery as he faced court for the first day of his landmark trial on charges of inciting racial hatred against Muslims.
Mr Wilders, 46, sat impassively as his lawyer argued that the leader of the Freedom Party, which made big gains at last summer's European elections, had made his critical remarks about Islam in his role as an elected Member of Parliament.
Bram Moszkowicz said that Mr Wilders had a mandate to speak out against what he saw as the Islamisation of the Netherlands and argued that he had not discriminated against a specific national group, saving his attacks for the ideology of political Islam.
Around 200 supporters of Mr Wilders had travelled from as far as Cologne in Germany to hold up placards declaring that free speech was under assault by Islam and by the politically correct. The case is being watched as a test of the limits of political tolerance in the Netherlands after years of relaxed immigration policies which have seen the Musim population rise to around 1 million out of 16 million.
"This case is about more than Mr Wilders," Mr Moszkowicz told Amsterdam District Court this morning. "It touches us all. It is such an important and principled question that could have far-reaching consequences."
Mr Wilders faces a 70-page charge sheet covering five counts of breaking Dutch law on incitement and discriminiation against Muslims in more than 100 public statements, for example by likenening the Koran to Adolf Hitler'sMein Kampf and calling for an end to the "Islamic invasion."
The alleged offences include Mr Wilders' film Fitna, which shows images of 9/11 and beheadings interspersed with verses from theKoran. It ends with a the controverisal Danish cartoon of the prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb as a turban.
At one point there was laughter in the public gallery when Mr Moszkowicz tried to insist on his client's right to have the entire charge sheet read out in court. The chief prosecutor refused saying that his voice would not hold out that long and the panel of four judges settled for a summary which still lasted almost 20 minutes.
"Mr Wilders has always made his statements in his capacity as a public representative," Mr Moszkowicz said, arguing that the Amsterdam court was the wrong arena and that the Supreme Court in The Hague was the place to hear allegations of misconduct by an MP.
But Birgit van Roessel, for the prosecution, countered that "expressing his opinion in the media or through other channels is not part of an MP's duties." She said that MPs only had immunity for what they said inside parliament. He faces a fine or the possbility of jail if convicted.
The public prosecution service initially decided not to bring charges but were ordered to press ahead by the appeals court. Otto van der Bijl, a spokesman for the prosecution service, today said: "It is possible that we may ask for an acquittal at the end of the trial."
Ulrich Rosendahl, 46, an engineer who took the day off work to travel from Cologne to support Mr Wilders, held up a banner outside the court which read: "Wilders does as [Charlie] Chaplin did. He attacks fascism — Islamo."
Mr Rosendahl said: "I support what he says and I know he has lived under police protection for many years and I think that he pays a high price to fight for freedom of speech."
Anne Wirix, 71, from Schagen in the north of Holland, travelled for two hours to come and support Mr Wilders. "This weekend I am 72 and never in my life have I demonstrated for something until now. I think it is necessary because of the lack of freedom to say what you want. Mr Wilders says the words that a lot of us think."

How to Pick a Good Business Webcam (Part I of II)
Video communication is advancing from business travelers calling home from the road, to desktop video conferencing, video email, and video interviewing. To take advantage of these applications you need a quality web camera. Most newer laptop computers and netbooks have built in webcams, while desktop do not. The companies I've spoken with have indicated the need to identify webcam requirements and have asked what models are best. This article will examine different facets of web cameras, with advice based on our experiences at Vonei.
Image Resolution is critical to a good business video experience. You certainly will not want a fuzzy image when conducting a video interview, or leaving a video email for a customer or prospect. The primary image factor to consider in your webcam is Megapixel resolution Just like a digital camera, the more megapixels the better. We've found that webcams with less than 1.3 Megapixels (1,280 pixels by 960 pixels) provide a low quality image. 2.0 Megapixels is better, and in general the higher rating the sharper the picture. At one point CCD cameras were considered superior to CMOS cameras, but after testing with both over the past 2 years I cannot say that one is superior to the other for Internet video applications. CMOS cameras are less expensive and will work fine.
Smoothness of Motion is determined by the Frames Per Second (fps) rating. A 30fps rating provides a smoother motion than 15fps, with less trailing of movement. 30fps is the North American television standard for video. A "talking" head doesn't have a lot of motion, and 15fps will generally work fine. If you want to broadcast someone moving, say a person doing physical therapy, then the higher fps makes an improvement in the motion. We don't recommend a camera with less than 15fps as motion delays become obvious. The best choice is to look for the full 30fps specification. There are several factors which impact the frames per second produced by your webcam on v ideo chat sessions. For a guide to these factors, a free fps test tool, and tips on how to improve the fps on any webcam, see the webcam fps test site.
Features such as face-tracking and auto-focus have had mixed reviews. They both sound great on the surface, but if a person is moving around the constantly changing view on the webcam can be very annoying to the other users. For a "talking head" use of a webcam these features are generally not required. One feature I do like is the plug-n-play aspect of the USB 2.0 webcams. Eliminating the need to load software from a disk is a nice plus as it makes it easy to move the webcam between computers.
The service provider you use for your video communications has a major impact over your experience, and your web camera specs could very well exceed their capabilities. Most service providers will limit the data rate to 200-300kbps to accommodate DSL and Cable Modem upstream bandwidth limitations. The service provider selects the rate at which key frames are sent. (A keyframe in a video contains the entire image.) If a keyframe is sent every second when running your webcam at 15fps, the in-between 13 frames are difference frames. The best thing to do is purchase a webcam that meets the pixel and fps specs recommended above, and then try the webcam on various services. You may very well see image quality and motion smoothness differences between providers.
Internal versus External webcams. Internal webcams are great for ease of use, and since they are located at the top center of the screen they give the appearance of looking right into the camera. I wouldn't buy a laptop without a built-in webcam due to this convenience. However, the built-in models are typically minimum acceptable quality. They are fine for most applications, but not as good as external webcams with better specifications. I like the external webcams (such as Logitech) with the specifications recommended above, and frequently clip one on the top center of my laptop screen right above the built-in webcam. It is a simple matter of selecting this second webcam in the video service you are using. External webcams have the drawback of having an extra device to carry with you, but the benefit of better video has been worth it for me. Of course for desktop computers the external webcam is the only option. Just be sure to place the external webcam as close as possible to the center of your monitor screen so you are seen as looking "into the camera".
In Part II of this article we will discuss webcam mounting types, microphones, unique properties of the iMac, conference room options, and sources to purchase your webcam.

This year we picked out a really pretty tree. Look at the shape!! Isn't she just beautiful?
We only put the best ornaments on our tree. ;) She has the most precious ornaments made from pipe cleaners, beads, and construction paper hanging from her branches. I say others can keep their fancy magazine worthy trees. I want to hold onto my children's ornaments for as long as I can!
I distinctly remember one year me and my brothers telling my mom she simply COULD NOT put our old handmade ornaments on the tree anymore. I didn't understand then how special they were to her. Now, I look at my babies ornaments they've made through the years and realize how quickly that day is coming when they tell me to NOT hang their kindergarten beaded decorations on the tree. One day those ornaments will be boxed away for good never to be hung again. One day they will be exchanged for breakable, delicate Christmas ornaments. One day they will not be brought out with an "Oh, I remember making that one! Let's hang it right here in front!" One day my children will not make an ornament to hang on my tree.
But, maybe I can pass them down when they have their own families and their little handmade ornament can become the one that is always hung first. This is the ornament that has the honor of always being the FIRST to be hung every year. It's my husband when he was little! Love the popsicle sticks, it's just a classic!
So for now I cherish every handmade ornament that hangs from our tree. And I eagerly anticipate the new ones that will come home from school and church this year. I look forward to the new ones my littlest babe will make in the coming years that will join his big sissy's and bubby's on our real, family Christmas tree.

On the service front we're firing on all cylinders once again and staying on top of our goal of getting people back on their bikes in a few days. On the bike front we're psyched to let people know that we can now help them go big (and maybe deep into debt?) with IBIS. We're looking forward to seeing the new Mojo HD when it gets here later this week. I'm guessing the guy who bought is as well.
Other notable bikes that have been built/will be arriving shortly:
Banshee Paradox custom singlespeed build. We built this with a Yess ETR-B tensioner, X9 hubs laced to Arches, a Recon Gold, Surly cog, BB7s and a Truvativ Stylo 1.1 crankset. Pics to come shortly.
Surly Crosscheck Singlespeed . We sold our completes and we're itching to build the 54cm frameset. Expect to see it built in the next week or two. It'll be simple, sturdy and pretty darn affordable.
All City Nature Boy SS 'cross bike. Most of the parts are going to the Surly build above but the frameset is going to yours truly so I can build it up and rip around the local trails on it.
Rocky Mountain Solo CX 2012. We'll have a few of these in the shop as soon as they become available. No pics I can share yet but the spec is solid once again and the pricing is pretty aggressive. These will be great bang for the buck 'cross bikes.
The Lincoln Woods ride is still happening every Monday night. Meet at the park ready to ride @ 6:15! We're meeting at the covered bridge entrance off of 123 (Breakneck Hill rd.). Feel free to ride over from the shop with Mike and myself as well, we leave promptly at 6:00.
The Wednesday night bike path ride is still on as well, leaving from the shop at 6:00.
'Cross season is right around the corner but there are still a few MTB races on the calendar. I'm hoping to make it out to the Treasure Valley Rally on August 28th, if you're there say hi or at least heckle with enthusiasm.

Guest Commentary
Martha Gershun: CASA meets critical needs for Kansas City's children
In the 7 1/2 years since I took the helm of Jackson County CASA — Court Appointed Special Advocates — I have seen the best and the worst of humanity.
At CASA, it is our mission to recruit, train and support lay volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in our community. We have two goals: to secure a safe, permanent home for the child, and to advocate for appropriate medical, educational and therapeutic resources while the child is under court protection.
Since I joined CASA, we have served thousands of children and teens. We have seen young victims under the most horrific conditions — children with visible bruises on their faces; children with burn scars on their bodies so deep they will never fade; children who have been sexually abused by relatives in appalling ways; children without beds, without shoes, without food.
We work with teens every day who have been in the child welfare system for five years, 10 years, 13 years. These are teens whose biological parents never completed the steps for reunification, teens for whom no appropriate relative placement was ever found, teens no one stepped up to adopt. Most of these teens will "age out," which means they will be released as independent adults with no family support and no designated adult to help them with the tough work of everyday living.
The tragedies we see unfolding every day at Jackson County CASA would break your heart.
But I have also seen the very best in our community. Hundreds of dedicated CASA volunteers, who freely offer up their time and their wisdom to advocate for the best interests of these children. Dedicated staff members who work with passion and love to see that every child we represent has the very best chance for a safe, meaningful life. Heroic foster parents who care for our community's children as if they were their own. Committed community partners and nonprofit agencies that provide effective, efficient services to child victims of abuse and neglect.
And making it all possible, the generous individual, corporate and foundation funders who reach deep to give as much as they can to help these children.
Through the efforts of our generous community, and the hard work of our CASA staff and volunteers, more children in our metro area find safe, permanent homes and receive the help they desperately need.
As I prepare to retire from my work here at Jackson County CASA, and prepare for one final Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month this April, it is the goodness that gives me hope. As each of us finds our own path — volunteering, working with passion, fostering or giving as generously as we can — I believe together we will tackle the evil of child abuse and neglect and provide meaningful help for our communities' most vulnerable children.
Martha Gershun has been the executive director of Jackson County CASA since December 2009. She will retire May 1.

Each year, Dun & Bradstreet and Netprospex analyze "hundreds of companies, thousands of files, and hundreds of millions of records" to come up with the State of Marketing Data report. This year's report can be accessed here, but for busy marketers and business leaders, I've gone ahead and done some of the work for you.
Here are a few of the key stats from the 2015 State of Marketing Data report that are important for B2B marketers:
– Over 66% of surveyed company's records currently lack revenue and industry data for existing customers. (Tweet this!)
– CMOs will drive over $32 billion in marketing technology by 2018 (Tweet this!). Previously, the majority of this spend came from the B2C market.
– 74% of marketers consider lead quality over quantity (Tweet this!). In order to achieve this, marketers now require better ways to manage data.
– 67% of the buyer journey takes place online (Tweet this!). Now more than ever, marketers need to deliver content that rises above the noise and engages targeted buyers in a memorable way.
– 87% of B2B marketers cite email as one of their top methods for driving leads through the funnel (Tweet this!). However, 66% of files have "Questionable" email deliverability and marketing data degrades at up to 3% per month, leading marketers to spend more time making sure that their databases are up to date and functioning properly.
– 71% of company files lack industry information like company size by employee and revenue information (Tweet this!). Though the three-year trend here is upward, 58% of B2B enterprises sales and marketing operations professionals reported that their demand generation programs were not effective at achieving their primary goals.
– Over half (54%) of all of the records analyzed (223 million) did not include a phone number (Tweet this!).
– Companies that regularly maintain their database can see 66% higher conversion rates than those that don't (Tweet this!).
– 80% of B2B marketers consider buyer personas in the context of the sales cycle when creating content strategies (Tweet this!). As the average number of content marketing tactics (13) increases, targeted messaging can help engage more qualified customers, contributing to reductions in acquisition costs and shortened buying cycles.
– Over half of B2B marketers (59%) noted that improving the depth and accuracy of their database was a top priority for 2015 (Tweet this!).

Millionaire George Wade (Grant) doesn't make a move without Lucy Kelson (Bullock), his multi-tasking Chief Counsel at the Wade Corporation. A brilliant attorney with a strategic mind, she also has an ulcer and doesn't get much sleep.
It's not the job that's getting to her. It's George. Smart, charming and undeniably self-absorbed, he treats her more like a nanny than a Harvard-trained lawyer – and can barely choose a tie without her help. Now, after five years of calling the shots, on everything from his clothes to his divorce settlements, Lucy Kelson is giving her two weeks notice.
Although George makes it difficult for Lucy to leave the Wade Corporation, he finally agrees to let her go – but only if she finds her own replacement. After a challenging search, she hires an ambitious young lawyer (Witt) with an obvious eye on her wealthy new boss. Finally free of George and his 24-hour requests, Lucy is ready to change course and join her devoted boyfriend (Feuerstein) on an adventure at sea. Or is she?
Confronted with the fact that Lucy is literally sailing out of his life, George faces a decision of his own: is it ever too late to say "I love you"?

Antiperspirant VS Deodorant
Its no secret that I'm antiperspirant and slightly anti-deodorant (I'll explain), antiperspirants are created to keep you from sweating! There is nothing normal or natural about NOT sweating, if you have read any of my past post on skin care and healthy living I encourage SWEAT, its needed to help detox and open pores not to mention it's the body's natural way of cooling off and alerting you that hydration and cooling down is needed.
Antiperspirants are designed to prevent the body from producing sweat, active chemicals are there to penetrate the skin and block sweat from reaching the surface. Aluminum is one of the active ingredient found in most antiperspirants. Aluminum blocks the pores so that sweat cannot pass through. Some types of antiperspirants contain forms of aluminum, which have been found to interact with sweat to cause yellow staining on clothes. We have all seen this before on a friend or ourselves and wondered where the yellow came from. Well, mix an aluminum complex and sweat and there is the answer.
In addition it changes the microbial life that lives on you. New research finds that antiperspirant and deodorant can significantly influence both the type and quantity of bacterial life found in the human armpit's "microbiome." Antiperspirants and deodorant affect the bacterial balance in your armpits, which actually leads to more pungent-smelling sweat.
Additionally, some dyes and fragrances found in antiperspirants and deodorants have been seen to cause allergic reactions and skin irritations. This is another reason to go 'natural' if you can.
Some natural deodorants are Tom's, Milk Cosmetics & Crystal Deodorant Stick, to name a few.

On a recent business trip to Baltimore, I found myself unable to socialize with the other meeting attendees. These were people far more experienced than I at technology standardization, who seemed comfortable within the established cliques that are a fact of life at recurring meetings like these, who didn't seem that interested in carrying out a conversation with me. Partially intimidated by my ignorance of the myriad intricacies of motions and ballots and voting rights and partially put off by their cliqueishness, I spent most of my meal-times alone with a copy of John Kenneth Galbraith's A Short History of Financial Euphoria, having failing to read it once before.
On the second reading, I was sustained by a growing interest in investing, which provided me with enough motivation to read about the phenomenon of market bubbles which constitute the primary subject matter of this book. In the short space of about a hundred pages, Galbraith treats the most important market bubbles in history, beginning with Tulipomania of the 17th century and ending with the stock market crash of 1987. It is a cautionary essay written for the general public and until the very end, it remains remarkably lucid, free of jargon, and punctuated by the writer's mature, benevolent wit. It is the sort of writing that I quietly admired in the books of Bertrand Russell.
Because the book is so clear, it's message can be easily distilled though Galbraith admits, it is hard to internalize. Firstly, financial instruments do not lend themselves to true innovation. As a consequence, each supposedly new financial innovation happens to be — at its root — a different method of leveraging debt. The public at large seems to have a short financial memory of a few decades at most, and when painful recollections of previous bubbles have faded, it becomes comfortable with incurring the risks of very high leverage, setting the next bubble into motion. For each successive bubble, Galbraith elaborates on which "new" financial innovation set the bubble in motion, how the bubble was sustained, who were the supposed financial geniuses of the era, how the bubble burst, who became the scapegoats, and how the question of what caused the public to speculate was repeatedly ignored. It is quite the eye-opener and I recommend it highly.
Having liked this book, I searched for other written work by Galbraith and interviews he gave at various points in a long and productive life in politics and academia. Preliminary exploration turned up this funny and insightful remark —proximately about the state of economics research, but applicable to other spheres of our lives as well — made in a 1986 interview with an unbelievably young Harry Kreisler:
… I do think that the last 20 years have brought a strong shift back to what I've called the "esoteric aspects" of economics — to mathematical expressions in economics, econometric niceties, and a tendency to leave the real world alone. It's something that in Cambridge we call the "Belmont Syndrome." Belmont is an extremely comfortable suburb adjoining Cambridge, and the "Belmont Syndrome" is a desire to move from a peaceful, happy life in Belmont to a peaceful, happy life at Harvard, from life to computer and back again, without any disturbance from Ronald Reagan.

Can I connect a gyro sensor to the Omega-2+?
Can I connect a gyro module such as MPU-2950 or some other to the Omega-2+?
And is there any instructions for this?
Maximilian Gerhardt
You mean a MPU-9250?
I would refer to the Arduino libraries and hookup guides. Porting the code from https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_MPU-9250-DMP_Arduino_Library seems feasible since it has its I2C logic abstracted into one file.
The hookup guide from https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/mpu-9250-hookup-guide shows that for a basic setup you just need VCC,GND,SCL,SDA (I²C).
I have some library code here that uses the
libonioni2clibrary for reference.
