From the 1976 book, Nikola Tesla, Life and Work of a Genius* * *
by: J. C. White, Manager, General Electric Co.Nikola Tesla was unquestionably a genius. He was eccentric — but then most people of genius are. He was mystical. He had frequent flashes of intuitive reasoning which led him to an immediate understanding, in detail, of the solution to a problem which others might take years to realize.He had an incredible memory. He seemed never to forget anything once learned, whether it be technical or otherwise. Late in life he could still recite long passages of the poetry of Goethe, which he had learned as a young man.He had the remarkable ability to visualize, in his mind, complex mathematical or physical systems. This became evident at an early age when it was found that, to the early suspicion of his masters and to their subsequent admiration, he could write down the answers to quite complicated mathematical problems, without going through all of the intervening steps.During all of his life as a practicing inventor and engineer, he found it unnecessary to commit much to paper, since he could envision complete systems or machines in his mind in total detail. He did not need drawings or other descriptive information.And, he was a "loner". He found it difficult to work with other people, and quite impossible to work for anyone.All of these factors had a part in his first, and perhaps greatest, discovery — the induction motor.In 1875, at the age of 19, Tesla went to Gratz, in Austria, to study electrical engineering at the Polytechnic Institute. Early in his second year at the Institute, there was received from Paris a piece of electrical equipment, a Gramme machine, that could be used as either a dynamo or motor. It was a laboratory model, direct current machine.When the machine was demonstrated by a Professor Poeschl, Tesla was greatly impressed by its performance except in one respect — a great deal of sparking took place in the commutator and brushes. As Tesla himself described it in 1915:"I ventured to remark that these devices might be eliminated. Professor Poeschl said that it was quite impossible and likened my proposal to a perpetual motion scheme, which amused my fellow students and embarassed me greatly."For a time I hesitated, impressed by his authority, but my conviction grew stronger and I decided to work out the solution. At that time my resolve meant more to me than the most solemn vow.""I undertook the task with all the fire and boundless confidence of youth. To my mind it was simply a test of willpower. I knew nothing of the technical difficulties."All my remaining term in Gratz was passed in intense but fruitless effort, and I almost convinced myself that the problem was unsolvable. Indeed, I thought, was it possible to transform the steady pull of gravitation into a whirling force? The answer was an emphatic no. And was this not also true of magnetic attraction? The two propositions appeared very much the same."In his mind Tesla constructed one machine after another, and as he envisioned them before him, he could trace out with his finger the various circuits through the armature and field coils, and follow the course of the rapidly changing currents. But in no case did he produce the desired rotation.Practically all of the remained of the term he spent on this problem, but at the end of the term he was no nearer the solution than he was when he started.Tesla spent a year at the University of Prague in 1879-1880, still working on his one big challenge, but still with no success. Thus far, his failure simply added support to Professor Poeschl's contention that he would never succeed.His father's death, following his graduation from the University at Prague, made it necessary for him to be self-supporting. He went to Budapest, where in 1881 he was placed in charge of the new telephone exchange there. While in Budapest, in February 1882, he took a walk in the city park with a former classmate named Szigeti. There was a glorious sunset, and Tesla was engaged in one of his favorite hobbies — reciting poetry.One of the works which he could recite from beginning to end was Goethe's "Faust". He was reciting some lines from this poem, and admiring the sunset, when suddenly he snapped into a rigid pose as if he had fallen into a trance. Szigeti spoke to him but got no answer.Szigeti was about to sieze Tesla and shake him into consciousness, when Tesla shouted, "Watch me! Watch me reverse it." In a flash of intuitive genius he had at last conceived of the idea of a rotating magnetic field. Again, in Tesla's own words:"As I spoke the last words of the poem, plunged in thought and marveling at the power of the poet, the idea came like a lightning flash. In an instant I saw it all, and I drew with a stick on the sand the diagrams which were illustrated in my fundamental patents of May, 1888, and which Szigeti understood perfectly."
During the next two months Tesla was in a state of ecstatic pleasure playing with his new toy. It was not necessary for him to construct models of copper and iron. In his mind he constructed them in wide variety.A constant stream of new ideas was continually rushing through his mind. They came so fast, he said, that he could neither utilize nor record them all. In this short period he evolved every type of motor which was later associated with his name.Shortly thereafter, Tesla went to Paris where he accepted a position with the Continental Edison Company, a French company organized to make dynamos and motors, and to install lighting systems under the Edison patents. He could find no one even slightly interested in his polyphase electrical system or his induction motor.lt was while working for this company, while on an assignment to Strassburg in Alsace, that he had an opportunity to construct his first actual alternating current motor. The machine was built without benefit of drawings. His visualization of the construction was in such detail that drawings were not required.When completed, and the switch thrown, the motor behaved exactly as his theory had indicated it should.Being unable to interest anyone in Europe in his polyphase system, under the urging of friends, Tesla elected to go to the United States to work with Edison. This he did in the summer of 1884. His association with Edison, however, was rather brief, lasting only about a year.It was the classic case of two very creative minds that could not work together. Edison was a proponent of direct current, and Tesla of alternating current.After some financial ups and downs, Tesla obtained some financial backing and established a laboratory, in 1887, on South Fifth Avenue, in New York City. Here he was able to build many of the different kinds of electrical machines which he had envisioned during the two months following his revelation of the principal of the rotating magnetic field.Within the next two years he applied for, and was granted, 29 patents covering various types of alternating current motors, distribution system, and transformers.Then on May 16, 1888, he gave an invited lecture before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, which has become a classic in the electrical engineering field. In it, he presented the theory and practical application of alternating current to power engineering, so broadly and completely, that it furnishes the basis for the entire electrical power industry today.George Westinghouse was also a man of vision, and at the same time, a good businessman. He recognized the impact of the concepts which Tesla had announced to the world. Within a month after the AIEE speech, he visited Tesla in his laboratory and observed the operation of the machinery which he had built.Westinghouse was immediately convinced, and on the spot offered Tesla one million dollars in cash and one dollar per horsepower royalty for the use of his patents. This offer was accepted, and he also arranged with Tesla to come to Pittsburg at a high salary for a year to act as a consultant in the commercial application of his inventions.Tesla spent that year in Pittsburgh, expecting to clear up all problems within the year. He was uncomfortable in this environment, since he could not allow free rein to his creative mind but had to concentrate on the practical problems of getting the equipment into production.
Tesla succeeded in convincing the Westinghouse engineers that 60 cycles was the optimum power frequency, after much debate, and this is our standard frequency today.After his year in Pittsburgh, when Tesla returned to his laboratory in New York, polyphase alternating current and the induction motor were well on their way toward successful commercial application.In the years since Tesla invented the induction motor, the growth rate of the electric motor industry has been truly explosive. Much of this could be attributed to the general growth in our economy and standard of living. The electric motor, however, was instrumental in spurring this very growth. Without it, our industrial growth, and even our present standard of living, would be inconceivable.The other day, just for fun, I counted all of the electric motors that I could find in my own home. I discovered 42, and I am sure that I missed some. The ubiquitous motor indeed!The size of the motor market is indeed enormous. For example, it is estimated that there are presently in service, in this country today (1976), more than 30 million motors in the integral horsepower sizes, representing more than 400 million horsepower. In fact, if all of these motors were put on the line at one time, the power required would exceed the total electric power produced in this country.As another example of the size of the motor industry, in 1974 nearly 17 million hermetic motors were manufactured in this country for use in refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners. This represented about 13 million kilowatts of connected load — about one-third of the increase in generating capacity in this country in the same year.On the small end of the scale, approximately 50 million timing motors were manufactured in this country last year, of which nearly half were used in clocks and clock radios.The growth rate in this industry has varied, from the early days, between 5 and 10 per cent per year, and that growth is continuing. For example, in the size range from 6 to 20 horsepower, three times as many three phase induction motors were built in 1974 as in 1947. In the size range from 21 to 200 horsepower, the ratio increased to four times, and in the range from 201 to 500 horsepower the factor is ten times. While this data is fragmentary and does not cover the whole spectrum, it does illustrate two important trends: 1. The growth rate is continuing unabated.2. The growth rate for higher horsepower ratings is larger than that for the small machines, indicating a general trend toward higher horsepower applications.Basic motor concepts have not changed appreciably since the time of Tesla. The same fundamental processes are at work in all motors today. However, the details have changed enormously, in terms of configuration, application, size, materials, cooling, and so forth.Motor application has a profound influence on motor design. This can be seen graphically by looking at just a few of the near-infinity of applications for motors today: — Motor for home washers and dryers. — Oil burner motors. — Small fan drive motors. — Submersible pump motors. — Business machine applications. — Farm equipment drives. — Gear motors for various applications. — Vertical in-line pumping. — Oil well pumping. — Chemical plant pumping. — Cement mill conveyors. — Transcontinental pipeline pumping. — Blower drives for sewage treatment. — Reactor coolant pump motors for nuclear power plants. — Wind tunnel drives. — Chemical plant compressor drives. — Pumped storage hydro-electric plants. — Variable speed drive for generator component testing, fed by a solid state cyclo converter.
At the turn of the century, the electric motor was a new and exciting development. No one, perhaps not even Nikola Tesla himself, could have predicted at that time the phenomenal growth of the industry. It would certainly have been defined as a growth industry then, and today it would be described as mature.It would be tempting to believe that all significant development in the industry is behind us. On the contrary, I believe that a very great deal of change will occur before the end of this century. Much of this change will not be so apparent to the casual observer as that which has occurred in the past. However, it will still be very significant and will require a continuing high level of engineering development effort to bring it about.If you asked the man on the street today who invented the induction motor, you would most probably get no answer at all. If you asked the average electrical engineer the same question, you might very well get the name of any of the giants in the field at the turn of the century. You would probably not get the name of Tesla. This is indeed a pity. Hopefully this symposium will correct a deficiency, indeed an injustice, of long standing.
by: Dean Harrington, Manager, General Advance Engineering, General Electric Co. and Karl Drexler, Manager, Advance Electrical Engineering, General Electric Co.The steam-turbine-driven generators of today represent the largest concentration of continuous power, as defined by rated output, of any electric apparatus yet devised by man. Those who are involved with these large machines are understandably proud of their achievements.However, it is necessary, and humbling, to recognize that recent progress culminating in today's machines could have been possible only because of the very great achievements which have been made in the past by ingenious, persevering, enterprising, and courageous engineers, truly giants of the engineering profession.The engineers of today stand on the shoulders of those who did the essential basic work in understanding the fundamental principles which we now take for granted, and also those development engineers who made the required progress in magnetics, cooling, electrical insulation, and mechanical performance of generators.Electricity is essential in the United States to our health, our comfort, our industry, our leisure, in short, our very way of life. Generators, of course, produce this electricity, and steam-turbine generators produce approximately three-quarters of all of the electric power consumed in the United States.Therefore, the legacy left by the giants of the past, and Nikola Tesla in particular, has reached an importance and achieved a state of development which we are sure is far beyond even the fondest dreams of those who were responsible for the early progress which helped put us where we are.The evolution of electric power, from the discovery of the principle of induced voltage by Faraday in 1831 to the initial great installation of the Tesla polyphase system in 1896 was pronounced by Edwin H. Armstrong in 1942 as "undoubtedly the most tremendous event in all engineering history."In 1884, when Nikola Tesla came to the United States, electrical development was generally characterized by first inventing a useful device, such as a motor or a lamp, and then subsequently developing a "system" to operate this particular device.Tesla provided a complete system in his concept of a polyphase alternating-current system for the generation, transmission, and utilization of electric power. With the associated generators, transformers, and motors. this terminated the "war of the currents" (ac vs. dc) which was ongoing during the 1880's.In May 1888, Tesla, in a paper before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, announced his new polyphase system, consisting of two or three alternating currents from the same generator following one another in sequence.In 1893, after the electrical engineers in the power industry had recognized the severe transmission limitations of the direct-current concept, two 3,725-kW generators based on Tesla patents were ordered for the Niagara Falls Hydropower Project, and the first of these generators was placed in operation in April 1895.
In his historic announcement before the AIEE, May 16, 1888, Tesla proposed "an alternate-current generator having its field excited by continuous currents". In further explanation of his proposed system, he described "the field of the generator being independently excited . . . the rotating magnetic field was placed in operation in April 1895.TesIa continued to make improvements on his a-c generators, in the basic design, the frame structure, the direct-current excited field, the armature winding, the bearing arrangements, and machine improvements with regard to sturdiness, compactness, high efficiency, and better material utilization.Only in a-c generators can the large ratings required by today's power systems be accommodated. This is because of certain inherent limitations of d-c generators.The armatures of both d-c and synchronous (a-c) generators (essentially by the definition of "armature") carry the output power.A d-c generator has its armature located on the rotor so that its output current can be rectified by a commutator, whereas the armature of an a-c generator can be located on its stator.The stator winding concept employed in a-c generators, permits the use of the high voltage and the high current needed for large power output.The commutator of a d-c generator, on the other hand, can not handle either the voltage or the current requirement.Also, the laminated rotor construction required for a d-c machine imposes inherent mechanical limitations.The solid steel rotor of a steam-turbine-driven a-c generator and the fabricated and assembled rotor of a hydraulic-turbine-driven a-c generator, are not affected by these limitations and hence permit much larger physical size than is possible for a stable-running laminated rotor. The large size is essential to carry the large magnetic flux for a large power rating.The two types of a-c generators mentioned above generate essentially all of the electric power in the world. Hence, the adoption of the a-c system concept was essential for generating the power needed by the electric power industry.Tesla's vision of a rotor spinning in a magnetic medium is expressed in an autobiography written in 1915 where he states that the idea of the rotating electrical field came to him like a "lightning flash" while he was reciting poetry.Today we are still concerned, as the early pioneers were, with an understanding of the magnetic flux fields and the way in which they do useful work in the machine. We will have more to say about this a little later.As machines have become larger, and power concentrations in them have become more intensive, it has become increasingly important to understand and control the non-useful and potentially adverse side effects which the magnetic flux fields can produce. In some respects, we are as much concerned with stray leakage flux fields as we are with the flux which is produced to do the useful work of the machine.One area in which modern large generators are in great contrast with the early pioneering machines is the levels of current which the windings now have to carry. Today, alternating currents in the range of 20,000 to 40,000 amperes must be provided for by the stator winding.The magnetic force effects, the losses in the windings, and the parasitic losses due to voltages induced in structural parts in proximity to the heavy currents, are challenges requiring solutions of sophistication far beyond those which the early pioneer engineers needed.Similar sophistication in concepts and design features of the rotor, collector, and excitation system of a large synchronous generator, to handle the thousands of amperes in the field winding, has also required the attention of some of the best generator engineers.
Until recently, the electrical engineer had not much more than a good understanding of magnetic fundamentals to use to develop theories, and design generators. Armed with a slide rule and appropriate simplifying assumptions, he was able to find solutions to his problems and was able to continue the evolution of better and bigger generators.Therefore, to the older engineers now in the generator business, it is very exciting to watch the development of new analytical techniques (such as numerical analysis using finite differences or finite elements) for determining the magnetic flux distribution throughout the cross section of the generator, and in many other areas of interest and importance to generator design.In all such studies, our new ability to find quantitative solutions to important magnetic field problems and draw the flux plots, has greatly advanced the electrical engineering of generators.In a sense, this is the culmination of a struggle by electrical engineers, including Tesla, for more than ninety years, to develop an understanding of the magnetic processes in a machine, in terms of where the flux is and what it is doing, as well as what the new things are that we can do to use and control this flux once we understand it.One type of engineer which has been very important to the developments that have taken place to date and which is equally essential to the successes required for the future, is the engineer with an inventive mind, with tenacity to push his ideas to a practical conclusion, and with a critical eye to assure that a new approach is really an improvement to the generator. Tesla's concepts of rotating magnetic flux, alternating current, and polyphase systems and windings, are early examples of the product of such an inventive mind.As early as 1881 Tesla conceived the principle of the spatially rotating eletromagnetic field which is the basis for all polyphase a-c generators and motors. However, even before 1881, at the age of 19 as a student at the Polytechnic Institute at Graz, Austria, when observing a demonstration of a piece of electrical equipment requiring a commutator to prevent changes in the direction of the current, Tesla realized that if current could be made to come out of the generator with an alternating sense, the commutator would not be needed.When he voiced his thought aloud he was ridiculed by the instructor who said in a heavily sarcastic tone that "Herr Tesla was welcome to try it."Tenacity based on believing in his concept, even in opposition to such outstanding personalities as Thomas Edison and Lord Kelvin, led to his final success for the benefit of the power industry and hence of mankind.Similarly, today's approach to armature end-winding support systems, generator gas and liquid cooling systems, high-current collectors, stator-core spring mounting, and modern excitation systems are areas where the inventive mind and the critical eye have brought us to a high state of generator development.As a result, however, today's challenges to make the needed further progress, which are faced by the young engineer as well as by the experienced generator engineer are even greater than in the past.Today's challenge and also that anticipated for the indefinite future is one of maintaining and even improving the record of reliability and availability of large turbine generators, maintaining or even increasing the high level of efficiency of these machines, and improving even further material and cost effectiveness in their manufacture.Because of the increasing importance of reliability to the economics of power system operation, the past trend to larger ratings has largely abated, with the industry being willing to forego further potential economies of scale (economies of increased ratings) until sufficient experience has been gained at each new level of rating, before pressing forward to get a larger block of power into a single machine.We anticipate that there will be future steps in machine rating, but each such step will be taken only when experience shows that it is prudent to do so. The challenge to today's engineer remains, since the developments needed to maintain and improve generator reliability while improving material and cost effectiveness are equivalent to and very similar to solving the problems associated with increased rating.We are where we are today because of the engineering giants who came before us. We generator engineers of today could not attain the achievements which have been possible without standing on the shoulders of the giants who were here before us.One of the most significant of these giants was Tesla. His concept of the rotating magnetic field due to polyphase stator currents not only is basic to the a-c motor, but is essential to understanding the operation of a-c generators. We all take this for granted today. But Tesla had to hit upon the idea with little help, and mostly opposition.To provide electric power in the quantities required in the United States and in the world today, Tesla's concepts of alternating current and polyphase windings, are essential. The limitations of a commutator as well as the mechanical design of a laminated rotor, limit the power obtainable from a d-c generator to a small fraction of that which can be obtained from an a-c generator designed for the high voltage, and carrying the high current that are essential to the ratings of machines available today.The future will require generators even better than today, and generator engineers competent in tomorrow's technologies.These engineers will need to benefit from the experience of the past, but not be limited by past approaches. They must also be equipped with the latest advances in engineering tools. This places a major challenge on the colleges to provide the required excellent education, and on the generator engineering organizations to work with the colleges to help provide the incentive and the direction for this educational excellence.

Grade Miners Review
Unlike many similar website, Grade Miners does a fairly good job when it comes to headings. Not only do these headings evoke a call to action but it also catches your attention with their creativity. Unfortunately, there is too much content on the page, which nullifies the effect of creative headlines. Students will be overwhelmed by the amount of content and will be detracted from the page.
There are number of exclusive services that make Grade Miners stands out. Unfortunately, the website failed to market their exclusive services effectively because it mentions it at the bottom of the page. Although, the website is much better when compared with other similar site but some glaring errors overshadows its positives.
There is no mention about the pricing; you will have to fill the order form to see the prices. Students who want an essay within couple of hours will have to pay 55.39 British Pounds, which is sky high. For those who are willing to wait for 10 days, the same essay will cost 10.13 British Pounds which is quite reasonable.
Discount and Other Offers
To attract new customers towards its service, Grade Miners offers a generous 15% discount on the first order. Sadly, there is no discount for bulk orders therefore, if you are planning to place an order in bulk, then you are out of luck.
Other Info
When it comes to support, Grade Miner follows its other counterparts in the industry. Students can contact them through email, phone or live chat. Apart from few glitches such as too much content on home page and no price mentioned on price page, the website does a good job when compared to other similar sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click a question to gain a better understanding of your query. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact us. We'd love to hear from you!
You've been in the studio concentrating on each track, probably one at a time, with the same solid focus to each one. Each song is composed and performed to the same high standards that you expect from you and your production team. When it comes to putting out your individual tracks, or putting a collection of them on to CD or on a playlist, it is important that they all 'flow'.
Just take any seminal album that you know and love and consider 'perfect' in every way. That album, whether or not you're thinking as a musician, engineer, producer or manager, will simply flow. Flow from one track to the other building your anticipation to the next track and satisfying you, the listener. Reading the sleeve notes, that album might have been recorded by several production teams in differing studios across the world on different equipment and at different stages of an artist's career. Nevertheless, the music still 'flows' doesn't it?
That so-called 'flow' is down to the mastering engineer making sound judgements on each of the tracks to ensure that the album does indeed flow. Each track and album needs individual attention to detail to perhaps make the changes necessary. These might be making things the right level (more on this later), matching the equalisation between tracks, making the tracks sit together side-by-side by adjusting the gaps between tracks (or taking them out all together if required), repairing sonic deficiencies such as hiss, rumble, wow and flutter where possible, adding the PQ, ISRC, UPC/EAN codes and preparatory information for the master and simply making your music sound as good as is possible.
Mastering can take between one to two hours per track and an album can be completed in a full day's work. However, we like to take a little longer over things and give you time to listen to the mastered material on your own equipment in your own time (payment required) and we'll keep working on it until its ready. How quickly we can turn around your album will depend solely on studio and engineer availability and how many changes you might want. We'll be able to discuss a definitive date for completion when we take the booking.
Dynamic range is an important part of music, and compositions come with their loud bits and also their quiet bits. As the decades have gone on, this dynamic range has been getting more and more squashed. This is not necessarily for any technical deficiency, but because sonic tastes require it. Each record that is put out is expected to be loud. However it is not as simple as making things 'one louder' (Nigel Tuffnell in Spinal Tap, 1980) as we now live in a digital world where the loudest we all can go is 0dB. There are two schools of thought here. We, as mastering engineers, understand that there is a legitimate need to ensure that our client's music is as loud as it needs to be as it improves radio play potential and also in some forms of music, it must stand side by side with the competition. However, there is the other side of the argument that says, if it is that loud, then the life and soul of the music is altered and can be considered an alteration or distortion of the original.
We are sympathetic to both sides of the loudness coin, and as such, request that your music comes to us with as much dynamic range as you can allow. We understand that mixes need to be representative, but would prefer that no extreme master buss compression be applied at the mix stage, and no peak limiting.
Why do we ask this? Some mixes come to us with compression applied to the master buss already. In some cases these settings are very good and are integral to the overall mix, but at other times this can cause problems; we may need to unpick heavy compression to get the desired results over an entire album. We would ideally prefer for a mix to come to us uncompressed, but the mix sounding excellent. We can then compress and limit your music using our mastering grade techniques to obtain the best results. Alternatively, please provide us with both the compressed version and a version without. Either way, make sure there is no peak limiting applied to your master buss (this should be turned off before rendering your files).
For consistency, we prefer your tracks to have a max peak around -6db, but as long as the master output is not clipping 0db, we can work from there. Also ensure there is at least 2 secs of silence before and after your audio begins and finishes (including any reverb/delay tails), as this will give your engineer room to make appropriate fades (including any long fade outs, or transition fades between tracks), and to reference any background noise needed for restoration or noise reduction purposes.
If you are unsure about anything above, please contact us before submitting your files.
File Formats
We'd love your music to come to us in a digital format that can either be uploaded to our FTP server, or via a file transfer service of your choice. However, should you have something a little different in mind, please contact us to discuss how you'd like to send us your project files. When uploading and sending your material, please ensure that it is in one of the following formats:
Ideally your audio should be rendered as a stereo interleaved file, either as a .AIFF or .WAV, or Sound Designer II file (mp3 or mp4a etc files are not accepted). It's best to render your files in the native sample rate of your mixing session (44.1kHz or above), and at the highest supported bit rate of your DAW (minimum 24bit, 32bit float is ideal).
If you have some variation on the above, or need further clarification or assistance in rendering your tracks, please contact us before submitting your files.
Quality Control
Please listen to your rendered files before sending them to us for mastering. Check to make sure all elements are where they should be, and that all desired processing is active. Also check for any audible anomalies such as bad edits/crossfades between regions, clicks, pops, hiss, or any un-intentional noises. This will be spotted by your mastering engineer, but it will save time and create a better result if these can be addressed beforehand.
If you are unsure about any inconsistencies in your audio, please take note of the time stamp for each item in the track and inform your engineer.
Please be sure to label your tracks appropriately, and update any future versions so they can be distinguished between.
Some examples could be:
01 – My First Song – My Band – Final Mix 1
02 – My Second Song – My Band – Final Mix 4 (Vocal Up)
03 – My Third Song – My Band – Final Mix 2 (Buss Compression On)
03 – My Third Song – My Band – Final Mix 2 (Buss Compression Off)
Alternative mastered versions will be labelled accordingly by your engineer.
Stem Mastering
You could simply send us a stereo file of the mix and we can set to work mastering. However, there are some other alternatives such as stem mastering that might provide a more detailed approach should a specific track require further attention. Essentially stem mastering or mixing means that you provide the engineer with your mix rendered out into sub groups or stereo pairs (containing all the mixing engineer's EQ, compression and effect settings), and there are a few ways in which this can be broken down.
An example of stem groups (to address specific elements) might be as follows:
– Drums
– Bass
– Guitars
– Keys
– Backing Vocals
– Vocal
An alternative stem system (to address vocal levels) could also appear like this:
– Your Mix
– Main Vocal (no backing vocals)
– No Main Vocals (with backing vocals)
– No Vocals at all (instrumental)
Either system will depend on the requirements or issues of the specific mix, however the use of stems should be treated as a last resort (it is always preferable to go back and make changes to individual elements/tracks within the mixing session). If in doubt, your mastering engineer will be able to provide detailed notes and help guide you to an improved result before attempting a stem session. Some additional information may also be useful to provide such as track tempo and key.
For more details and to discuss further options, please contact us.
ISRC stands for International Standard Recording Code and is a way by which each released song is given a unique identifier. This unique identifier is a string of numbers embedded into your CD. The idea is that as songs are played on the radio etc. the ISRC codes can be logged and any royalties can be collected for that song automatically. At the mastering stage of the production process, we encode these ISRC's into the CD master alongside the UPC/EAN Barcode (explained later).
This is not a service we can provide as this is managed internationally and operated nationally by appointed operators. For the UK this is PPL. To obtain your ISRC codes, please go to PPL's ISRC website – http://www.ppluk.com/I-Make-Music/Why-Should-I-Become-A-Member/What-is-an-ISRC/. They will ask you to provide them with certain bits of information… Once you have the producer code part of the ISRC please pass that to us.
Obtaining your codes does not usually take a great deal of time to obtain and are free to the user. It would be best to be prepared and consider these at the beginning of the mastering so they can be ready when we complete our CD image for you. PPL will make you aware of your obligations as the owner of these recordings and ISRC codes.
We will always provide an DDPi of the mastered work for your reference. This is included in the price.
Whilst we'd like to offer this service we are unable to act on client's behalf. The barcode association would prefer we did not do this on your behalf. To get your own Barcode, please visit and telephone them on +44 (0) 20 7092 3500 saying that you would like to purchase a barcode for an audio CD. These were £25 when we investigated, although prices may alter from time to time. These take a little time, so we would suggest that you get in touch with GS1UK as soon as possible at the start of the mastering project so that the code is ready for when we burn your CD image. For more details, do not hesitate to contact us.
Licensing from PRS for Music In the UK it is wise to discuss with PRS for Music (formerly the MCPS-PRS Alliance) whether you need a licence to sell to the public. If you're a band or solo artist start here. Alternatively for a wider range of options for other areas such as production music etc. please look here.
Terms and Conditions are there to show what we offer and what you can expect. We also advise that all clients listen through to their audio in full and check every element of their masters before sending them for replication, copying or uploading for distribution. MOTTOsound accepts no liability for any errors. Please view our Terms & Conditions here.

Malcolm Hall
Malcolm's time at Teesside University gave him the skills he needed to become a successful managing director of his own company.
BA (Hons) Design Marketing
What brought you to Teesside University?
It was simple - Teesside University offered the course I wanted to do. I'd studied for my HND at University of Huddersfield and one of my lecturers there recommended Teesside.
What was studying at Teesside University like?
My time at Teesside University developed my skills and the qualification I achieved gave me the grounding I needed to be the successful business owner I am today.
During my studies I won a design award and gained a placement at ICC in Darwen, Blackburn. Without this and without achieving my degree qualification I would not have had the confidence, credibility or practical experience to start my own business.
I enjoyed the social life offered at Teesside and even met my wife in the Dicken's Inn which is just next to the Middlesbrough campus.
What are you doing now?
I am founder and managing director of Hall-Fast Industrial Supplies, having started my company in my back bedroom in 2006. It now has over 15,000 customers in 95 countries and has won a succession of major business awards for growth, entrepreneurialism and exporting.
I also a governor of Vision West Nottinghamshire College and Vision Studio School, and I'm a figurehead ambassador for entrepreneurialism for the Mansfield and Ashfield area. I am passionate about giving back.
I was delighted to be recognised for services to business in the recent New Year's Honours list.

So during my detox journey I came across a book that I currently like (my fancy changes frequently) Wheat Belly
and in it I found a recipe I wanted to try called Pumpkin spice muffins I tweaked it a little and was amazed by the results…I never knew that baking soda could make something without wheat rise.
My modified Kumquaty Pumpkin Spice Muffins
Makes 12 small muffins
1 1/2 cups ground almonds (can be purchased pre-ground)
1/2 cup chestnut flour (nice sweet taste)
1⁄4 cup ground flaxseeds (can be purchased pre-ground)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
Dash of fine sea salt
1 can (15 ounces) unsweetened pumpkin puree
1⁄2 cup coconut milk
2 large eggs
1⁄4 cup olive oil
Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil. Stir together the almond meal, chestnut flour, ground flaxseeds, spices, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir together the pumpkin, coconut milk, eggs, and oil in another large bowl. Stir the pumpkin mixture into the almond meal mixture and mix thoroughly. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about half full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out dry, about 45 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
just learned these should be kept in the fridge they are very moist and mold easily, certainly one could add a sweetener but I chose not to since I was on my sugar detox

Live-Action REVIVAL Film In The Works, With Teaser Trailer Already Made
Tim Seeley and Mike Norton's creator-owned Image Comics' title Revival has been optioned for a live-action feature film by Shatterglass Films. The announcement was made during a panel at Chicago's C2E2 2017 over the weekend, with a "proof of concept" trailer similiar to what was done for David Fincher's prospective The Goon adaptation.
Here is the trailer:
"Part of what's so exciting about working with a company like Shatterglass is that not every comic story needs to be a hundred million dollar plus movie nor should they be," said Seeley. "Teaming up independent comics with an independent film production company just makes sense."
Filming of the live-action Revival is scheduled to begin in early 2018 with Shatterglass co-founder Luke Boyce directing.
"I am beyond ecstatic to be bringing this incredible work to life. Revival has consistently been one of the best titles from Image in the past few years and one of my absolute favorites since it debuted in 2012," said Boyce.. Long before I ever met Tim and Mike, I dreamed of being able to adapt this story on film and I intend to do everything I can to realize it to its full potential."

Registration: Planning Your Courses
First things first — assemble your academic planning tools. (Click to view more)
Use these tools to figure out your course options for the upcoming term.
Get out your copy of your curriculum sheet — it tells you what courses you need to take to satisfy your degree.
If you have one, pull out your roadmap or flowchart — it tells you when you should be taking courses.
Bring up the General Education course listing for any GE Areas you need to fulfill — this list ( quarters or semesters) gives you all of your options. Not all of the courses in a particular GE area will be offered every term. If you're in IGE, refer to this list.
Check your Degree Progress Report — it's a tool in your BroncoDirect Student Center that gives you a visual of your completed degree requirements. Watch our how-to video below to learn how to use it.
Consult the University Catalog — double check that you've satisfied prerequisites or planned the corequisites of the courses you're thinking of taking.
Use the Conversion Guide — if you're transitioning from quarters to semesters, use this tool to make sure you know the course equivalencies.
Plan for 30 semester units in one academic year. (Click to view more)
Get in gear and Take 30 semester units a year! Most majors require 180 quarter units or 120 semester units to complete.
Enroll in 30 semester units every year to graduate in four years (for freshmen) or two years (for transfer students).
It's up to you if you want to take 15 units each semester, or save some units to take in the summer.
Visit the Take 30 website to learn more about the benefits of planning for 30 semester units.
Map your path to graduation in your MyPlanner. (Click to view more)
MyPlanner is an online tool in your BroncoDirect Student Center that you can use to plan out which courses you are going to take in each of your future terms. It's important that you also use your Degree Progress Report and flowchart when filling out your MyPlanner, as MyPlanner doesn't check for pre- or corequisites.
Keeping your MyPlanner up-to-date not only keeps you organized in your academic planning, but it helps academic departments know what you want to take and when, making it easier to offer more seats.

Participants could even find themselves on the receiving end of gifts this season from some surprise "celebrity" participants.By Kenna McHugh|November 4, 2011 ShareBy Kenna McHugh|November 4, 2011 Share On November 1st, reddit announced its third annual online Secret Santa Gift Exchange. The unique but spirited program, started by the spirited group redditgifts, was a holiday success last year with over 17,000 Secret Santas in 90 different countries across the globe.Sign-ups for this year's Secret Santa Gift Exchange began November 1st and will continue until November 25th. Secret Santas are then paired up and are encouraged to use their best online searching skills to discover and choose the best present to send by December 12th. "When participants receive their present they will post photos and videos to redditgifts to be enjoyed by all," says reddit press release."We have some really exciting stuff going on this year," said Dan McComas, founder of redditgifts. "We are going for the official Guinness World Records title for The Largest Online Secret Santa Game!"For obvious reasons, reddit's Secret Santa Gift Exchange has become one of the most popular pastimes for many reddit users, and this year's Secret Santa will hopefully build on the success of the past two years. Secret Santas might even find themselves on the receiving end of gifts from a surprise "celebrity" Secret Santa.In an aim to spread goodwill and cheer across the world reddit is opening up the event to non-reddit users. They, too, will have a chance to join in on the merriment of gift giving. Usually, Secret Santas were required to have a reddit account prior to sign-ups, but this year non-reddit members will be given brand new accounts once they are registered to become a Secret Santa.While the reddit Secret Santa is of an online nature, this season reddit is inviting local reddit communities to hold meetups on or around December 17th to share holiday cheer in person. Redditgifts plans to hold their own meetup on the 17th in San Francisco. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2koDErO copy Adweek Adweek

She shoots! She scores! What can be more Canadian than having refugee women from Africa, Asia and elsewhere around the world learn hockey in Windsor?
She shoots! She scores! Newcomers get their elbows up
There's nothing more Canadian than the good old hockey game, elbows up and chasing the puck.
That, and maybe apologizing. That's also quintessentially Canuck.
"You bump into somebody, you say sorry," says neophyte hockey player Fatuma Butta. But a bit of bumping, she acknowledges, is a price sometimes well worth paying to gain puck possession.
A refugee from Ethiopia's Oromo region who found shelter in Windsor with her family five years ago, Butta is part of a multinational collection of newcomers who meet weekly at the downtown YMCA as part of a women's floor hockey league.
On this particular Wednesday, almost two dozen players from almost as many different countries are sweating it out on the gym floor in a rough-and-tumble competition periodically interrupted by joyous screams of teammates whenever the puck finds the back of a net.
"I want to be Canadian — I have to play a Canadian game," said Karima Tutu, who came to Canada from Sudan. She yelled in victory in front of the goal upon scoring, but explained the moment much more humbly from the sidelines later saying the moment served to energize her teammates.
"I'm sure you saw some passionate women out there today," Julie Legg, sports program co-ordinator with the Downtown Windsor Community Collaborative, said after collecting sticks at the end of the session. The program, begun a year ago as a partnership between the Y and Legg's Sport For All, runs for an hour between the end of morning and the start of afternoon English classes. There is no cost and all equipment is provided, including running shoes if needed.
With almost a thousand Syrian refugees welcomed to Windsor over the past year, the downtown Y is a busy place, with hundreds of newcomers from about 74 countries attending daily language classes and another 100 getting daily one-on-one support for general settlement needs, everything from how to register the kids for school to what's required to get an Ontario driver's licence.
According to local organizers, one of the biggest benefits of getting Windsor's newest women residents to participate in the nation's national passion is the way it instils other desirable Canadian values.
"Hockey is just the means of bringing them together," said Zakieh Zarabi, a YMCA orientation settlement adviser. "This is about connecting and confidence and seeing our diversity for themselves — one of our Canadian values is tolerance," she added.
As the women battle it out in the gym, Zarabi said they're getting to know other Windsorites with different backgrounds, cultures and experiences. "The fear flies. Language skills and employment are important, but you also need self-esteem and social status," she said, explaining that the latter comes with making new friends in a new place and getting them to know your own strengths.
Rabia Ahmed, who is also from the Oromia region of East Africa, said she's proud to be a hockey-playing wife and mother.
"'Mom, you play hockey? Oh my gosh!'" she said, describing her kids' reaction. There's much player respect here for the high-scoring African line that includes Ahmed and Butta.
The league was launched a year ago when hockey sticks were passed around during an end-of-year party, and the ensuing match, while disorganized, proved a big hit among the women from around the world.
"We started it as a pilot last November to see if it would work, and it was a huge success," recalls English language instructor Lucy Kristensen. It's the teachers, and especially Zarabi, armed with photos and video clips to share, who ensure a steady inflow of refugee rookies.
"I like to play!" Than Nyae, a big grin across her face, exclaims through an interpreter. A member of Burma's persecuted Karen people, Nyae, her husband, three children and two sisters arrived in Windsor a year ago after the family spent 20 years in a United Nations refugee camp in Thailand.
"Exciting! I like hockey," says Linda Dong, another recent newcomer from China, who enjoys sharing her hockey tales with friends.
To find out more about the Newcomer Women's Hockey League — or perhaps watch or even join in — contact Zakieh Zarabi at
The YMCA's Community Integration Experience for Newcomers program is funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada while Sport For All is assisted by the Trillium Foundation.

SPCP Live 3 Part 9: The Toilet Roll Situation
May 30th, 2018
It's all gone a bit wonky this episode; we're joined firstly by Fantasticast's Steve Lacey for some chat about Superman Returns, how to perfectly time a cinema toilet trip and we all try to figure out what the song I only know the first line to is. We also play a short game of Where In The World Is Steve Lacey? and continue to not spoil Infinity War.
After that, Parlour regular Lee Grice appears and the technological poop hits the fan! After a brief not-broadcast panic, we get into chatting about comics, how you deal with dislking stuff your friends have created, how trailers are supposed to work, remakes and reboots and more! Oh my!
Episode Theme - 'Scarface (Push It To The Limit)' by Paul Engemann
End Theme - 'The Glow' by Willie Hutch
Justgiving Donation Link: www.justgiving.com/spcplive3
Timings: 00:03:46: Steve Lacey, 00:59:40: Lee Grice, 01:10:20: Lee Grice (Take 2)
I'd like to extend an apology to Steve, Lee and the listeners; again we have the issue of guests answering questions before we've actually finished asking them, meaning there's more talking over one another and extended gaps. I'm really sorry; I have no idea what happened or why, and there's no way for me to fix it. This is also the episode where we broadcast about 5 minutes of silence (which I have replaced with a short burst of Spanish Flea) as my microphone died and we had to replace it. Sorry!
Disclaimer: The SPCP Live 3 episodes will be mostly unedited. This means they will be put out as close to their live versions as possible, including (but not limited to); audio delays and the resultant accidentally-talking-over-each-other, bodily function noises (aka the World's Loudest Sneezes), slightly-too-long sections in which we try to deal with the mountain of technical problems on the day... I believe they are still very enjoyable though, and I hope you have as much fun listening in as Barry & I did when broadcasting!

B.C. Lions great Angus Reid is in Chilliwack March 31 to hold a camp for offensive lineman.
The camp is open to players ages eight to 19.
The junior camp, for ages eight to 12, runs from 10 a.m. to noon.
The senior camp, for ages 13 to 19, runs from 1 to 3 p.m.
Reid is sticking around afterwards for a coaching session running from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m.
For $50, athletes get an Angus Reid Lineman Camp hoodie and a camp certificate, and they also get to interact with a man who spent 13 years in the Canadian Football League.
The Simon Fraser University grad played in more than 200 regular season games and 11 playoff matches, winning two Grey Cups with the Lions (2006 and 2011).
Reid was a CFL all-star in 2011 and a West division all-star in 2004, 2011 and 2012.
He retired following the 2013 season and is a candidate to be inducted into the B.C. Lions Wall of Fame one day.

I would follow the advice that any folks have already described here. It's pretty simple, fill out the application and pay the filing fee.
However, one thing that Minnesota is incredibly picky about is the naming of your business. Here are the basic guidelines:
- You have to be sure that no other company has the same name. You can do a quick search on the Secretary of State website to make sure.
- You can't select a name of a business that is in use or reserved by someone else. However, a reserved name can be used if you get written consent from the reservee.
- You can reserve a business name for up to 12 months. Then you have to either use it or refile or reservation.
- You have to be careful about the words that you use. Your business name must contain the words "corporation," "incorporated," "company" or "limited," or an abbreviation associated with those terms. Also, the words "company" or "co." cannot be immediately preceded by the word "and" or the symbol "&."
Just something to keep in mind as you move forward.

Indian medical education system has seen rapid growth in the last two decades. Private medical colleges now account for more than half of the 270 medical colleges in 2009. This unregulated unequal growth brings two issues to focus: the failing quality of medical education and implementing effective solutions to address an artificial faculty shortage due to faculty mal-distribution. The menace posed by the unfettered merchandisation of medical education has to be controlled and efforts should be made by the Government to ensure maintenance of standards and check the unplanned growth of substandard medical colleges and substandard education norms in universities or their constituent medical colleges. Since Indian Independence, MCI nor the University Grants Commission nor the constituent universities including the health sciences universities have never attempted to grade medical colleges as per their quality standards hence in the absence of health education quality standards, the student output from recent, hurriedly established recent science institutions is definitely substandard. There is a strong case for a review of the entire system of medical education and examinations in the country. Some solutions like increasing retirement ages of MD faculty to 70 years, sharing of faculty, increasing the total number of MD seats, allowing standard institutions like IIT's to take over substandard colleges, allowing clinical MDs to teach para-clinical and pre-clinical subjects or temporary merger of specialties may address the widely publicized faculty shortage instead of relying on inadequately qualified MSc. nonmedical faculty..

Beginner's Guide to Diesel ECM Programming
The diesel performance industry including tuners, modules, and programmers can significantly unleash the optimum performance and fuel efficiency of modern diesel-powered vehicles. Performance tuning involves usage of devices which are mingled into the term "chip", involving modification of various operating parameters such as timing and fuel characteristics, in favor of maximum output, with little or no regard to vehicle emissions, with the aim of increasing performance, fuel economy, and modification or reprogramming of the factory calibration of an engine. When it comes to Em programming, it involves using a computer with microprocessor, with similar features and capabilities of your computer at home or office. There is a microprocessor involved in ECM programming that is used for receiving, interpreting, and acting to sensor input, and it consists of hardware (standard circuit board) that is encoded with a software program (tells the vehicle how to run).
Every car has an ECM system, but it is not really an important factor when making a decision between different models. Programmable ECM systems are required for modified cars which make them exempted from the rule. Remember that ECM is tasked to provide fuel and regulating emissions, and regardless of the make and model of your car, and the ECM, the inputs are pretty much the same in each system. The ECM system is used in monitoring and regulating the throttle position sensor, telling the engine how much air and fuel to mix to make power; the coolant temperature sensor, letting the engine know if it is running too hot (alerts the driver, with the use of the instrument panel light); the voltage regulator, for tracking and adjusting how much power is being sent throughout the car; the fuel injectors, providing fuel at precisely the right moment for optimum power delivery; the position sensors for the camshaft and crankshaft, identifying the engine's cycles; the mass airflow sensor and MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor, for monitoring the different ways air affects the engine; the oxygen sensor, measuring exhaust quality; idle control; the EGR valve sensor, helping with emissions and the ignition control, regulating the spark plugs.
The ECM systems are not designed by auto manufacturers but are rather one of the components that is sourced and customized. Only a few of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) make ECM systems for cars. Each brand and type must be customized according to the specifications of the automotive manufacturer. There should be proper configuration of the ECM system so that the car can perform well, and the engine specs and other factors must be considered. The same system is used to tune to different cars even if OEM suppliers are offering different engine computer products, and a good starting point is that ECM systems are broken down into categories such as fuel type (diesel or gasoline), engine size, and so on. For diesel ECM repair, feel free to check our website or homepage now.

Before wheatgrass extract. Large welts are clearly visible.
20 minutes after wheatgrass extract applied. Welts are beginning to settle & pain easing.
From the patient: Hello, please find following the before and after pics as requested. The first photo was taken approx 5 mins after being stung by bluebottles. The second photo is approximately 20 minutes after (at home). My husband usually has a bad reaction to bluebottles, the pain and welting can last days. He probably had to use the spray a couple of times after the initial application. But it was completely gone within hours instead of days.
We have been using wheatgrass for over 10 years, initially purchasing it as our children had molluscum warts. We've continued to use it over the years for many different skin ailments, most recently finding that it works very well in helping with the healing of sea ulcers.

Yes, there's a childhood and adolescent obesity epidemic out there. The word on the street now is that "this is the first generation of kids, who will not outlive their parents".
But is this really true? Where is the data showing that childhood obesity is really a risk factor for early death?
This question is now answered by perhaps the largest study on this issue to date published by Tone Bjørge and colleagues from the University of Bergen, Norway, in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Bjørge and colleagues studied the relationship between BMI (measured height and weight) and mortality in 227,000 adolescents (aged 14-19 years) recruited in Norwegian health surveys in 1963-1975. During follow-up (8 million person-years), 9,650 deaths were observed. Cause-specific mortality was compared among individuals whose baseline BMI was below the 25th percentile, between the 75th and 84th percentiles, and above the 85th percentile in a US reference population with that of individuals whose BMI was between the 25th and 75th percentiles.
Risk of death from endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases and from circulatory system diseases was increased in the two highest BMI categories for both sexes. Relative risks of ischemic heart disease death were 2.9 for males and 3.7 for females in the highest BMI category compared with the reference. There was also increased risk of death from colon cancer (males: 2.1; females: 2.0), respiratory system diseases (males: 2.7; females: 2.5), and sudden death (males: 2.2; females: 2.7).
The authors conclude that adolescent obesity is related to increased mortality in middle age from several important causes.
Clearly not a good sign for what awaits our sons and daughters unless we get a hold on the obesity crisis.

Adolescent Obesity Kills Middle-Aged Adults
Yes, there's a childhood and adolescent obesity epidemic out there. The word on the street now is that "this is the first generation of kids, who will not outlive their parents".
1 comment:
The FTO gene has been linked to obesity and BMI, in several large-scale studies. As per a report submitted by British scientists last year more than half the people of European descent have one or two copies of a variation of this gene. Individuals with two copies of the gene variant are on average 7 pounds heavier and 67 percent more likely to be obese than those who don't have it. http://www.phentermine-effects.com

It was really good to be challenged to think outside of the box. As someone who likes words I tend to just journal by writing a lot. The downside is that if I'm not in a mindset to articulate well, then I don't journal and leave huge gaps in my 'story.'
I didn't write the figures down so don't quote me, but the speaker talked about how bringing a creative aspect into something that you do actually slows down the words per minute that your brain processes (something like 600 words per minute as the usual down to 120) and leaves you in a more restful, contemplative mode. And how much we need that in our modern world. And how helpful that is to calm us down to contemplate Scripture and talk to our Father.
We did a number of exercises which I actually quite enjoyed---even though there was something art related in my hand! One of them was to write a 'cinquain' and decorate it if you wished to slow yourself down to really think. I think I related especially well to this one because it still let me use words! A cinquain is this:
Start with ONE word
Choose TWO adjectives
Add THREE words ending in 'ing'
Next come FOUR words that make a sentence
Lastly, a ONE word ending.
A few days ago something happened that suddenly left me feeling tense, unfocused, and worried. I decided to try a cinquain in my journal at home. I was in no mood to articulate sentences but somehow just putting down the root of what I felt seemed do-able. I wrote this:
Ugly binding
Stressing worrying over-thinking
Is not from G0d
And I drew chains around my poem. (Those are easy to draw!) I didn't like leaving something so dark so thought I'd look at the opposite:
Restful holy
Refreshing peaceful loving
I'm free in You!
And I drew a daisy chain around that. :-) (Mine wasn't quite as good as this picture, though!)
Somehow slowing down and doing this simple exercise relaxed me and focused my mind and heart so I could actually deal with how I was feeling with a lot less struggle to get to that point than usual. I had a great talk with my Father and left the room after only about 15 minutes feeling peaceful and trusting.
So while I'll never be artistic in that way, I'm leaving a box of art pencils by my journal in the nightstand---and we'll see what happens!

During a recent visit to Canadian, Texas, photographer Ilona Szwarc was pleasantly surprised to see how many more girls were competing in rodeo competitions than she remembered.
Szwarc first encountered the rodeo as an exchange student in high school, but on a return visit years later, she was blown away by the young, female competitors. In watching them compete, Szwarc was struck by how the girls expressed their femininity in a stereotypically masculine sport while also adopting and adapting the masculine demeanor of rodeo competitors for themselves.
This sparked the idea for her new series "Rodeo Girls," which captures the spiritual connection the girls have with their horses.

Niggles first: some amateurish editing and a reference to information about the organ and its restoration on a website which doesn't appear to contain said information (surely the specification, which runs to all of eight stops, could have been included in the booklet?). Now the good stuff: this is a wonderful recording of an exceptionally fine Georgian organ, the largest surviving instrument by Johannes Avery, resident in New Zealand since at least 1859. Recently restored by Goetze and Gwynn, it is put through its paces here by James Tibbles, a leading figure in the New Zealand early music world who performs an attractive programme including two Handel Overtures, Corelli's Christmas Concerto (in the Billington arrangement) and voluntaries by Stanley and Blow with an all too rare feeling for idiomatic elegance. Highly recommended.
