There two types of people within the particular business, those who don't adhere to any type of sports betting plans, and those who perform, and earn their profits for this.
Specifically, in this informative article you may learn 2 of the more popular sports betting strategies:'moneymanagement or Bankroll administration' and'guess Sober and Do not Proceed Tilt'.
Sports-betting Strategy No 1 ) – Moneymanagement / Bankroll Administration
Set aside a particular amount of income which you are able to manage to invest, which we'll predict your"bank roll". The same as using another sort of investing, you shouldn't wager about something together with money you cannot manage to reduce UFABET.
Set a plan to your week, your month, or even also the season and never spend significantly more than your primary funds. An overall strategy in bankroll management is to only make stakes with two% – 5 percent of your bank roll. Case in point: state your budget for this year was 2000, you then ought to just bet $40 – $100 for each and every game you wanted to bet .
It is very crucial to not ever'make up' weight loss by gambling much larger money in a game. It's seems like ordinary sense to gamble bigger money in order to acquire back it, but this really is a wrong mindset that will result in losing much more cash. The appropriate means to try so is to work well with the magnitude of one's actual bankroll, and gradually increase it by betting over time on the length of the entire year. If you aren't gambling on a'string' of matches where you are setting your wagers to acquire that series, maybe not merely a person match.
Sports Betting Strategy Number 2 – Wager Sober and Don't Go Tilt
Betting below the influence of liquor will impair your judgement and also this really is some thing you need to avoid in the event that you want to profitable any type of sports wager. That's the precise reason Las Vegas casinos also offer absolutely free alcoholic beverages while gambling. Betting while sober is common sense, thus stick together with it.This will take the psychological facet out of the match.
Yet another reason to never bet as you are underneath the influence, is because your mind is overwhelmingly inactive and your emotions takeover. This can be a thing which referred as'tilt' one of poker player. This really is just a word using poker people which ostensibly means enabling your emotions dominate your game that subsequently leads to lousy decisions.
Easy ways to protect against this from occurring is to not drink alcohol whatsoever during your match, also when you're angry or angry with whatever, stop your stakes and have a break. Take a deep breath, get a stroll and brush your teeth, anything that makes the mind clear just before you start betting more money.
Reward Technique – Can Your Homework.
Do your research before setting your bets. This something frequently missed but really one of the most important matters todo before setting your own bets. If you would like to make money out of sports gambling, you'll need to do your research, look at stats, uncover tendencies, refine your strategies, and also analyze games that are past.
In the event that you should unite every one of those fundamental measures, then you will discover it is worth it to own a sports gambling plan that combines good handicapped picks with a stable currency management system. Any participant that does not have a system in place, will soon find their bankroll . Even the handicappers at sport investing system.com have been by using this type of sports betting strategy for a while now.

Elephant 6 Revisted & Dead Can Dance Review
Jim and Greg revisit their conversation with The Apples in Stereo's Robert Schneider about the Elephant 6 Recording Collective. Plus, they review Anastasis, the new record from longtime 4AD band Dead Can Dance.Subscribe via iTunesDownload This Episode
Music News
A few weeks ago, Jim and Greg reported on singer Amanda Palmer's landmark success raising over a million dollars for her new album on the crowd-funding website Kickstarter. This week, they talk to Yancey Strickler, one of the founders of Kickstarter. Yancey was working as a rock critic when he and a few friends had the idea for the site. They imagined a modern-day patronage system where fans could help finance new art by pre-paying for projects they liked. The timing couldn't have been better for musicians. As the major labels have reigned in investment in new talent, Kickstarter has become an increasingly important source of funding for emerging artists. Since it launched in 2009, Kickstarter has funded more than 25,000 projects, including numerous debut albums. But Yancey is quick to point out that million dollar windfalls like Amanda's are rare: most successful projects on Kickstarter raise around four thousand dollars.
The Elephant 6 Collective
The recent death of Olivia Tremor Control co-founder Bill Doss has Jim and Greg thinking about the legacy of the musical collective he was a part of: The Elephant 6 Recording Company. This week, they revisit their conversation about Elephant 6 with the collective's chief producer, Robert Schneider. For those new to this crazy universe, Elephant 6 was a label started by childhood friends from Ruston, Louisiana. The bands that came out of this group of music-lovers included some of the most beloved of the indie rock nineties: Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, and Apples in Stereo. Schneider was the chief songwriter, producer, and lead singer of Apples in Stereo. He explains how he and his friends first heard the psychedelic pop of the Beach Boys, The Beatles, and Pink Floyd hanging around Ruston's college radio station as kids. The collective's most important albums, among them The Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk at Cubist Castle and Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, bear the sonic mark of those early listening sessions.
Greg calls The Olivia Tremor Control the trippiest of the Elephant 6 groups. He and Jim discuss their debut release, Dusk at Cubist Castle, a double album whose subtitle,"Music from an Unrealized Film Script,"points to the music's psychedelic nature. Greg calls Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel the"soul child"of the collective. Jeff went for a stripped down approach that was moving and easily identifiable for many listeners. This is evident in the band's 1998 release In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, a concept album about tragedy, and at times, Anne Frank. The longest lasting of all the Elephant 6 acts is Apples in Stereo. In addition to being the collective's four-track guru, Schneider was always the"pop craftsman."In 2007 Apples reformed and put out New Magnetic Wonder, a return to power pop form for the group, and one of their best recordings to date.
Dead Can Dance Anastasis
Next Jim and Greg review Anastasis, the first new record in sixteen years from longtime 4AD band Dead Can Dance. This duo began thirty years ago in Australia. Guitarist Brendan Perry got his start in punk circles, but turned in a more experimental direction after meeting vocalist Lisa Gerrard. Greg says in the eighties, no one sounded quite like Dead Can Dance. The band melded the ancient sounds of Gregorian chant and renaissance music with au courant ambient pop. Since splitting up in 1997, Gerard and Perry have pursued solo careers (Gerard composed the music for Gladiator), but recent brushfires in Australia brought the two together long enough to produce a new album, Anastasis. Are the dead still dancing in 2012? Jim says not nearly enough. He finds Perry's serious, intoned lyrics laughable and Gerrard's compositions plodding and overdramatic. He says Trash It. Greg admits to being a Dead Can Dance diehard back in the day, but even he admits the band's slow tempos on this album aren't doing them any favors. Not only are Perry's lyrics annoying, he says, but they don't seem to have anything to do with Gerrard's beautiful, atmospheric vocals. He gives Anastasis a Burn It on the strength of Gerrard's voice, but calls Anastasis second-rate work.
Jim's been thinking a lot about Genesis lately – and no, not the most famous version of the band with Phil Collins on vocals. Before hits like "I Can't Dance" Genesis was an unabashedly nerdy prog rock band, and that's the iteration of the group Jim wants to celebrate with his DIJ pick. 1971's Nursery Cryme with Peter Gabriel on vocals fit wonderfully into Jim's teenage world of renaissance fairs, Isaac Asimov, and Dungeons and Dragons. No track embodied the group's proto-steampunk ethic better than "The Return of the Giant Hogweed." Gabriel tells the story of a Victorian explorer who discovers the hogweed in Russia. Unaware of the plant's carnivorous tendencies he brings it back to England to the royal Kew Gardens, where it proceeds to wreak havoc. Listen for Steve Hackett, mimicking the sounds of the murderous plant on his guitar.

CD Review: Cubaniando by Ivan Acosta y su Grupo De Cuba Somos
(EGREM, Release pending)
Review by Bill Tilford, all rights reserved
This disc has not been released to the marketplace yet, but there are times that extenuating circumstances dictate that I write about something even under those circumstances, and this is one of those times.
One of Cuba's best-kept musical secrets is a small but very vibrant Jazz scene in Santiago de Cuba, and one of its most important figures is flautist/bandleader/composer Ivan Acosta, who worked with Bobby Carcasses for more than eight years and now has his own project the Grupo De Cuba Somos, in Santiago.
Most of the songs in the recording are originals, although there are also versions of Cantaloupe Island and Green Dolphin Street. This is a flute-driven project, but the bassist also does a lot of heavy lifting, the pianist distinguishes himself in some ballad passages and has an excellent command of Blues changes, and the rhythm section is absolutely superb. There are elements of Cuban music, straight ahead Jazz, Blues and Funk interwoven throughout the music. I am told that this should be available in a few months
In the meantime, you can listen to a long conversation with Ivan Acosta in Spanish that we recorded in Santiago in December here and a shorter conversation with three of his sidemen here.
1. Canta Lupe Island
2. Un Recuerdo
3. Green Dolphin Street
4. Cubaniando
5. Balada para Lili
6. Blues con Moña
7. Yo Me Llamo Como Quiera
8. Longina
9. Homenaje a Bychko
10. Balada Para Yemayá
11. Dame Tres Minutos
Here are some photos of the group taken in the Iris Jazz Club in Santiago in December 2015:

What you get mixing electronic and fabrics together? What comes immediately to mind it's wearable computing, "smart" clothes interacting with who's wearing them and the surrounding environment. But "smart fabrics" term doesn't inevitably means wearable computing: textiles are everywhere in our homes and their (literal) flexibility lets us imagine many other applications.
Like, for example, a multimedia wall. Enters Wall-E(motion), created by danish studio Diffus Design but with a strong italian DNA: it's been developed with Inntex, a Florence-based company specialized in innovative fabrics.
Wall-E(motion) is a modular system of textile discs connected together by metallic clips, in this way creating (as the name implies) a "wall" that can be simply decorative or also functional (as a curtain, or a room divider). Discs can be made by plain, passive fabric or become active elements: they can generate light via integrated LEDs and even emit sound thanks to an electrostatic element which turns them into flat speakers. Electric power and control signals travel through the "wall" on a conductive yarn embroidered in the discs and on the metallic clips connecting the discs themselves.
With LEDs and speakers, Wall-E(motion) acts as a modular multimedia wall. Light- and sound-emitting discs can be positioned almost anywhere within the matrix of the curtain and the system is controlled using a smartphone or a computer connected via Bluetooth (a receiving module is integrated in the ceiling rail).
Moreover, Wall-E(motion) can always evolve with new functions, thanks to its modularity. For example, future textile discs could integrate proximity or temperature sensors, or other output devices.
Programming the right "intelligence" in its control module, Wall-E(motion) can be almost anyhting. "We wanted to create - says Riccardo Marchesi, managing director for Inntex - a modular system, able to 'talk' with other objects. This can be made in many ways: with communication protocols, like Wi-Fi, or with technologies coming from domotics, like Konnex. We've just made our first steps and don't know yet which direction we'll take… We have many ideas on new modules to develop in the short term, to create an object with different forms of interaction".

Our Macs are loaded with files. Photos, documents, music, movies, and more. It's our iLife life.
What happens to our digital archives when file formats change in the future? Will our Mac life today be obsolete?
A version of that question popped up in a recent online Popular Mechanics article about a Digital Ice Age.
This is different than our reaction and response to hard drive that dies.
Yes, we'll lose all the data on that drive, but if we backed up appropriately, then nothing is lost.
We're in a personal digital age of sorts. I have about 8,000 digital photos on my Mac. Over 2,000 songs.
There's countless documents in one file format or another. How will those files be preserved for the future?
I'm not talking about next year, but the decade after this one, or the decade after that one.
Look at the digital data on your Mac. How many different file formats are there that need to get carried into the future?
I have Word documents, AppleWorks files, Excel spreadsheets, Keynote and PowerPoint presentations, not to mention half a dozen other format types.
I have movie files in various formats, thanks to QuickTime.
I have at least four formats for music, including MP3s, AAC, AIFF, and WAV.
Photos and images? Uh oh. There are JPGs, RAW, and half a dozen other format from PNG to TIFF to PCT and some so old I don't know what they are.
My Mac has some files that are over a dozen years old and I haven't opened them in any recent application to see if they'll still, well, open.
The Popular Mechanics article posed an example of a true threat to digital data. Not decaying hard drives. Dying formats.
In 1986, the BBC created a Doomsday Box. "More than a million people submitted photographs, written descriptions and video clips for this new "book." It was stored on laser discs — considered indestructible at the time — so future generations of students and scholars could learn about life in the 20th century."
Doesn't that sound noble and appropriate. After all, the media should last for a hundred years. What happened after only 20 years?
Storing valuable digital data such as movies, music, photos, and documents poses two problems. The first is where we store the data.
Most of us have hard drives, but they corrupt and die, requiring an ongoing backup system.
The second is the format in which we store the data. What's popular and acceptable today may not be in 10 years or 30 years or longer.
It's more than likely that in just a few years, perhaps not longer than a decade, all the file formats we use today will have changed.
What will happen to our files? What's the solution to this dilemma? Are we in permanent lockdown mode, and stuck with old data formats forever?
Will Apple, Microsoft, and others provide necessary tools and utilities to keep our files up to date? What plans do you have to maintain your files?

Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse confirmed Sunday that he plans to coach the Canadian national team, starting with the World Cup this summer.
At Toronto's first media availability since winning the NBA Finals, Nurse told reporters, "I'm getting ready to take another situation soon because I think it's going to make me a better coach."
Asked specifically whether he was talking about reports that he would become the coach of Team Canada for the World Cup, Nurse said a deal was "just about done."
"It's something I'm looking forward to doing," he said.
Nurse, 51, said his experience as an assistant coach with Great Britain in the 2012 Olympics was an impetus for wanting to coach Team Canada.
"I learned a lot as a coach in that run and I'm hoping this experience will do the same," he said.
He added that "there's some really good players" on the Canadian team. Among the players Nurse might be coaching are Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson, Dallas Mavericks forward Dwight Powell and former Duke forward RJ Barrett, a likely lottery pick in this year's draft.
"It's a unique time with the World Cup and the Olympics within a short 13- to 14-month window. And it fits in OK. I'm just giving up some vacation time," he said.
Canada begins the 2019 World Cup in China on Sept. 1 when it plays Australia.
When the Raptors clinched the NBA title with their Game 6 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, Nurse became the ninth rookie coach to win a championship in NBA history.
He also won two titles in the NBA's D-League (now named the G League), with the Iowa Energy in 2011 and the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in 2013.

Jose Mourinho is planning a shock move for Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, according to reports.
The Sunday Times claims that the Argentine available for sale this summer after Pep Guardiola took the decision to make Gabriel Jesus his first-choice forward.
Mourinho is looking for a long-term replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who underwent knee surgery earlier this week to repair a cruciate ligament injury, and is ready to offer Aguero the chance to be his leading striker at Manchester United.
The Sun on Sunday report that the 28-year-old would cost around £55 million, while United are also ready to match, or even better, the £230,000-a-week salary he earns at City.
Mourinho's interest in Aguero will not interfere with United's £85m pursuit of Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann, and the Portuguese would ideally like both players at Old Trafford next season.
Last week, Aguero reiterated that his future at City was in doubt following Jesus' arrival.
'I know there will come a time when I have to step aside,' said the Argentine. 'Other young strikers like Gabriel will be brought in.
'When you reach a certain age the youngsters start putting pressure on you and you have to be even better.
'I'm happy he's back now and that means I'll have to be much more focused and alert when I play.
'If I have to start on the bench once again, I'll have to accept it. That's football, I always respect my coaches and I certainly respect Pep.'

Do you like moving?
September 11th, 2017 3:17 pm by admin
Is there a little gypsy in your blood? Do you yearn for the feel of new places to go and faces to meet? Or would you rather be more comfortable and sure about just what to expect from your neighborhood?
Change can be a great thing, it just all depends on how you look at it. Sometimes it is forced upon us. There are those us who are forced to relocate frequently because of the career paths we have chosen. Some of us are just wealthy and move as we please to where we please. A lot of us fall in between.
I think the majority of people look upon moving as an unpleasant chore, a thing to be avoided, kind of like having to dump the honey bucket. But by golly, once the bucket has been dumped life does sometimes seem to pick up a little!
We are here to help you with that initial chore, the unpleasantness of it, to help you get moved into your new place, be it in the same city or a different country. We do this with a smile because we're good at moving people.

Review: Blazing Chrome
- Written by Destructoid
I took one look at Blazing Chrome and was ready to play it.
I spent countless hours engrossed in games like Metal Slug and Contra, and I just don't mean the classics, as more modern editions like Shattered Soldier and Hard Corps: Uprising are part of that conversation. Blazing Chrome will likely be remembered the same way one day.

Founded in 1998, the City of Columbia Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) has been a leading force for the preservation of historic properties and the upcycling, salvaging and repurposing of unique historical building treasures for use in contemporary structures. They have an on-call salvage team to remove items from historic structures that are slated for demolition and collect and store items for later public sale. They also consult with citizens wanting to maintain and rehabilitate their historic properties.
With their multi-faceted mission the HPC devotes hundreds of hours to their task. One of their most exceptional projects involved organizing 60+ volunteers for a five year process of rescuing 19,000 lbs. of historic building materials from James Condominium and a dozen other structures, which culminated in a September 2016 sale at Rock Quarry Park. With more than 200 shoppers in attendance and dozens of doors, door knobs, windows, stoves, tin ceilings, radiators and much more, it was clear that the HPC had done something very special: making the old new and giving individuals the ability to purchase historic building materials for numerous other projects in town. In a sense, theirs is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you, HPC!

asked Sep 14 '18 at 12:56 by troxx (70)
Guys, where the hell is rex audio support that your customers have been asking for since V1 4 years ago. Is it really that difficult to implement a widely used audio format, when you have coded other synths, modulators etc... for Bitwig?
Yes, .rex .rx2 support would be essential for me..... I haven't found a worthy 3rd party solution yet except fxpansion geist2 which costs as much as bitwig studio. Just for rex support it is not economical... Please developers give us .rex support!!!
answered Sep 15 '18 at 23:58 by mineral (129)
Is it necsessary? What is REX?
There is REX2 with stereo support !
But when the Sampler can slice up Samples with this Offset/ Cue/ Information, and can manage every slice like the OCTOREX -Sampler (Reverse per Slice, Pitch per Slice, Filter per Slice and so on), the Sampler will grow up to a Monster.
But then Bitwig should build REX files also, otherwise we can only need external stuff. So Bitwig should talk a word to propellerheads or find a similar solution to store offset information, use that as slices and solutions for creative handling with slices.

At the beginning of September, we presented in a series of webinars hosted by our partners LEAP Australia. These webinars introduced the ways Monash Motorsport use ANSYS Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to design the best possible parts and systems for our car each year.
Seven of our team members worked incredibly hard in the month leading up to the event, organising the presentations. We had representation from our Aerodynamics, Chassis and Suspension sections, explaining the rationale behind parts including the front and rear wings, rear bulkhead and upright, as well as how parts can be simulated together to get a comprehensive model of key assemblies in the car.
The webinars were presented twice each, with over two hundred people from around the world tuning into our presentations. Afterwards we provided help and advice on challenges other teams were facing in the design of their own cars.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank LEAP Australia for their continued support over the years. Their Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software is an indispensable part of our design process and we would not be to perform at our current level without their contributions.
If you missed out on the live presentation, don't worry! You can view the recordings by following the links here (FEA) and here (CFD). Any additional queries regarding the content can be addressed to the Monash Motorsport Facebook page.

At the end of July Nintendo finally succeeded in making the R4 illegal to sell in the UK. The ruling also banned sales of other DS cards such as M3 and DSTT which "enable Nintendo DS users to play unlawful copies of Nintendo DS games which they have downloaded using the internet".
But the decision in France went against Nintendo. The judge in this case stated that Nintendo "should be more like Windows where anyone can develop any application if they wish to."
In my opinion, I am agree with the france . I think the R4 DS /R4i is a great invention .Frirstly, The Nintendo company must asked themselves: why do the R4DS card can exist and sell well ? why they don't consummate the Nintendo console to block the R4/R4i ?why don't they reduce the price of the DS Games ?
As well kown, the Nintendo ds/dsl/dsi has a powerful features, but unfortunately it still lacks some features that you might have expected like the ability to run homebrew games through the SD card reader. This is why R4???????R4i cards can be existed
And the R4& R4i card lets your Nintendo DSi do some amazing things! Some of these include that it can be used as a Web Browser, PDA, MP3 Player, Word Processor and Video Player. Last but not least, with the R4NDSi you can play free homebrew games too. More important , it is much cheaper than you would pay for an original DS game .And most of the Nintendo ds/dsl/dsi owner are students , they have no enough money to purchase such expensive original DS game. In this case , the R4&R4i Cards are their first choice . So these R4&R4i cards can become popular in short time.
While there is no denying that the R4 had a negative effect on the games industry, there was a legitimate use of R4 DS cards which allowed them to stay legal up to this point. A side effect of the ruling is that people will no longer be able to play homebrew software on their Nintendo DS and development of homebrew software is likely to diminish. As the france judgement said — Nintendo should be more like Windows where anyone can develop any application if they wish to.
It is sad that once again only large profit-hungry organisations will be able to make games for the DS. It's not only homebrew fans who see it this : The above statement just belongs to the personal opinions

FilmStruck is making Casablanca and several other classic Warner movies available for streaming. The streaming revolution, in a lot of ways, has been great for movie fans. It puts thousands of film options, at the touch of a button, in front of audiences, without requiring them to leave their homes. Watching movies is easier than ever. However, there's been one huge downside to the rise of Netflix, Hulu, and their competitors: a glaring lack of older titles. Netflix, in particular, is significantly lacking in movies from before 1970.
That lack of older movies was part of the impetus behind the arrival of FilmStruck, a streaming service that launched in November 2016. Owned by Turner Broadcasting and containing Turner Classic Movies branding, FilmStruck is geared towards moviegoers who are into the older stuff (as well as independent movies of more recent vintage) and it pulled off a coup last year, when it grabbed the streaming rights to the Criterion Collection, previously available on Hulu. Now, FilmStruck has added another major source of programming.
RELATED: Disney's Streaming Service Not Meant to "Kill Netflix"
FilmStruck has reached a deal with Warner Bros. Digital Networks to stream a collection of movies from the Warner Bros. film library. According to THR, the deal will deliver such classic movies as Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Singin' in the Rain, Rebel Without a Cause, Bringing Up Baby, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and the original The Music Man. All of these titles will stream exclusively on Filmstruck.
As part of the deal, Warner will shut down its existing Warner Archive streaming service, and all subscriptions to that service will be rolled into FilmStruck, according to THR. The FilmStruck service will also include a series of "TCM Select" features, including special bonus material as well as introductions from TCM presenter Ben Mankiewicz.
The FilmStruck deal is great news for film culture as a whole. For years, a lot of cinema lovers have given themselves an informal education on film history, either from video store rentals, DVD purchases, or merely intensive TCM viewing. The lack of older titles on Netflix has made doing so harder, but the continued viability of FilmStruck (especially now that it will offer some of the greatest films of all time) is great news for the next generation of streaming cinema fans.
What FilmStruck's new titles mean to the streaming wars as a whole - especially with Disney preparing to launch its own competitor - is likely to shake out in the coming years. The service is available now, at three different pricing tiers: $6.99 a month, $10.99 a month and $99 per year.

November 16, 1997Reversal of Fortune
Everything changed for the Americans after the victory at Saratoga.
Read the First Chapter
By PAULINE MAIER
Turning Point of America's Revolutionary War.
By Richard M. Ketchum.
Illustrated. 545 pp. New York:
Henry Holt & Company. $30.
he story Richard M. Ketchum tells is, on the face of it, a conventional military history of a major campaign in the Revolutionary War, but ''Saratoga'' also has some qualities of an old-fashioned western movie. Much of the action is in Vermont, still a frontier territory, or nearby parts of New York that Ketchum describes as ''mean, rough country.'' There were occasional farms, streams that ''seemed to go nowhere,'' dense woodlands and roads that were often little more than broadened paths. Packhorses and oxcarts traveling over one such road had first to be unladen, Ketchum reports, or the animals ''would have been up to their bellies in mud.''
The Indians who play a critical role in the drama are ''merciless Indian Savages,'' as the Declaration of Independence called them, allies of the King who, Ketchum says, terrorized settlers while scouring the countryside for loot and scalps. And several leading Americans are seen as freewheeling, hard-fighting, hard-drinking individualists. For example, John Stark, brigadier general of the New Hampshire militia, was an old Indian fighter, ''proud, touchy, difficult, cantankerous, contrary, ornery, determined and as independent as a hog on ice.'' He would not be told what to do, but did well what he chose to do, giving the British a major setback at Bennington. Maj. Gen. Benedict Arnold of the Continental Army could match Stark for pride, determination and independence. He took command in the battle at Bemis Heights even though he had been removed from action by his superior officer, and rallied the men to so important a victory that he seemed sure to become one of the great heroes of the war.
Ketchum's book focuses on an invasion from Canada in 1777 led by the British general John Burgoyne -- as colorful a character as Stark or Arnold but with an altogether different style, as his nickname, Gentleman Johnny, and his preference for Champagne, good claret and brandy suggest. The British had evacuated Boston and assembled a major army and navy at New York to put down the American rebellion once and for all. They almost succeeded in 1776. Only George Washington's surprising midwinter victories at Trenton and Princeton assured there would be an American army in the field during the next fighting season.
British hopes for 1777 rested on Burgoyne's invasion, which moved southward from Canada on the St. Lawrence and Richelieu rivers, Lake Champlain and Lake George, to the Hudson River. That route -- the scene of intense fighting in the French and Indian War and earlier in the Revolutionary War -- was familiar to many combatants, particularly Arnold, who had fought there in 1775 and 1776. Now, however, Burgoyne planned to force his way to Albany, where he would meet royal troops coming up the Hudson from New York City. With control of both the western waterway and the Atlantic coast, which the Royal Navy patrolled, the British could seal off radical New England from the rest of the country. Instead, Burgoyne was forced to surrender his army at Saratoga on Oct. 17, 1777.
The question is why. Ketchum's answers are much the same as those of earlier military historians, but he substantiates them in graphic detail. Lord George Germain, the British colonial secretary, who knew nothing of American distances and the problems of wilderness warfare, insisted on directing military operations from London. Moreover, Germain failed to send Sir William Howe, who commanded the major British Army in America, a direct order to join Burgoyne at Albany, and was ''annoyed'' when reminded of that shortcoming. Germain had ''stopped by the office to sign his mail'' on his way to the country and did not want his horses kept waiting, so he delegated the task to a subordinate, who executed it inadequately. Lacking such an order, Howe felt free to set off from New York for Philadelphia. He sailed there through the Chesapeake Bay, which took 33 days, precluding him from getting back in time to meet Burgoyne. Howe did not seem much inclined to do that, anyway. Nor did Gen. Henry Clinton, assigned to defend Manhattan.
Then there was the problem of supply, which became ever more acute the farther Burgoyne moved from the Atlantic, since almost everything his army needed, from food to ammunition, had to come from England. Whenever he attempted to move overland, Burgoyne's pace slowed nearly to a halt. He suffered, too, from the error of employing Indians from the upper Great Lakes who were known for their ''legendary ferocity,'' which, Ketchum says, they demonstrated in acts of viciousness against combatants and noncombatants alike. The murder of Jane McCrea, whose Loyalist fiance supposedly recognized her long, red-tinged hair in the possession of an Indian ally, was only the best known of the atrocities widely reported in the American press.
Nothing could more effectively provoke New Englanders, who knew that if Burgoyne's campaign succeeded, he and his Indian recruits would soon turn east and threaten them. Militiamen poured into the American camp: ''like the Hydra's head,'' Burgoyne commented; ''when cut off, seven more spring up in its stead.'' Once he began seriously trying to restrain Indian cruelty and the Americans started scoring victories, the Indians chose to leave. That, too, contributed to the vast preponderance of American over British forces that, in the end, forced Burgoyne's surrender.
Why was Saratoga the ''turning point of America's Revolutionary War''? Because with that victory the American cause seemed sufficiently viable for France to conclude an alliance with the Americans. Soon after, France declared war against Britain. For the duration, Britain could not mount a full-fledged campaign in America like those of 1776 and 1777: it had also to protect its home front and its possessions in the West Indies from French attack. And in 1781, when the Americans, poor in sea power, finally managed to mount a joint operation that made effective use of the French Navy, the result was the triumph at Yorktown, which ended the war.
Ketchum, who is the author or editor of several books on American wars, draws on an enormous range of sources, including diaries and letters by officers and common soldiers. The strength of ''Saratoga'' lies in his vivid descriptions of the rugged landscape and in his many arresting portraits of participants, which make clear how personal rivalries affected the conduct of war on both sides. The points Ketchum makes are often unabashedly traditional: the Indians were simply vicious, not moved by a desire to check American expansion, as other historians speculate; American riflemen aimed at British officers (or, sometimes, Indians); Continental soldiers fought for liberty (though surely not, as he suggests in a strange concluding paragraph, for that of slaves).
Readers not wholly familiar with the geography of the region will need to consult the book's maps to follow Burgoyne's course. Ketchum's accounts of individual battles, particularly of how the contending armies' ''flanks'' and ''centers'' moved against each other, are sometimes bewildering, and there the maps do not entirely solve the problem. In any case, descriptions of that sort give only a rough sense of combat when, as at Bennington, action dissolved into a ''confusion'' in which ''every man seemed to manage for himself,'' or where so much fighting occurred in the woods that even officers found it difficult ''to get a handle on where and how things had happened.'' Fortunately, it is unnecessary to follow the battles blow by blow to grasp the overall story, or to appreciate the drama on those flatlands beside the Hudson, perfumed by the ''intolerable stench'' of decaying horses, where Burgoyne, ''resplendent'' in a ''shocking-scarlet uniform'' with ''gleaming gold braid and a hat fitted with plumes,'' surrendered to Gen. Horatio Gates, the English-born American commander, who wore for the occasion ''a simple blue coat.''
More than the Civil War, more than any other event in our history, Ketchum says, the American Revolution was ''the signal moment in our past.'' If he is correct, as I believe he is, we still live with the results of those complex battles in the 18th century, in what was the American West, that culminated at Saratoga and allowed the Revolution to continue.
Pauline Maier teaches American history at M.I.T. Her most recent book is ''American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence.''

During my global travels, I've met a wide variety of people, including an assortment of executives who strategically drive their medical device companies toward success. Are they all successful? No. I say that tongue-in-cheek, because some managers with executive responsibilities make a decent profit for their companies every year, but fail miserably in directing and enabling the quality and regulatory requirements mandated by FDA and ISO Registrars. It's true. They don't know how to handle these requirements.
In this ongoing, quiet recession with which the world is struggling (and getting used to), there is a not-so-fine line drawn in the sand that separates business acuity and regulatory compliance. Purists say there is no line, and "the architecture of the Quality System Regulation and ISO 13485:2012" thrives on a seamless relationship between regulatory requirements and business systems excellence. Realists say there is no contest; business initiatives and monetary success are clear winners, while quality and regulatory are just a means to a predetermined end.
FDA investigators and ISO auditors like me also have a lot to say about the approach that should be taken. Mainly, it must document demands for management commitment and establish a policy for quality that is understood by all employees at all levels of the company. Business and quality must be equal under one roof.
Suggestion: W. Edwards Deming, father of the quality movement, famously laid out 14 points for management. Chief among them was the notion of "constancy of purpose." Deming argued that a company's commitment to quality had to come from the top, and it had to be reinforced over and over again. Unless a business views quality as its single, non-negotiable goal, workers will inevitably feel the need to make tradeoffs—and quality will slip.
This is not Smoke and Mirrors
Symptomatically, there are common indicators for medical device companies that succumb to the quality management "monster" that, frankly, was probably conceptualized and nurtured from business needs in the dark-paneled offices of top-level management. This is where strategic decisions to increase revenue become reality, and the quality and regulatory requirements are just an afterthought—a necessary evil. The architecture of both the Quality System Regulation and ISO 13485 depends upon management that is committed first to quality and regulatory requirements from a standpoint of earnest involvement, and second, to responsibility to assure that the quality policy is understood, implemented and maintained at all levels of the company.
Plan Appropriately
From my observations and discussions, large, multi-national companies are commonly predisposed to documenting strategic initiatives using detailed plans and deliverables. Smaller companies, not so much. These top-level plans should be linked to the goals and objectives of operating units and, of course, individual process owners. Planning is not just for larger companies. On the contrary, small companies that have an appropriately-sized planning platform commonly use goals and objectives as tools for compliance and improvement. The lack of planning at all levels usually puts an emphasis on quick-fix solutions, firefighting and extending employee responsibility without adequate training. In turn, these conditions have resulted in a lack of willingness by employees to participate in improvement initiatives, and more often, quality is seen as an added cost to be avoided. Plans give initiatives an action-based foundation for which responsibility is appropriated, outputs are expected and trends become a metric-driver for measured success.
The lack of documented plans and the inadequate understanding of the regulations in this respect is a common symptom of the eventual downturn of the Quality Management System (QMS). It catches up with you when you least expect it—for example, when an FDA inspection doesn't go as planned, or when you're in the middle of a recall of a profit-generating legacy product. As I said, this need for an efficient and effective QMS is considered as just a necessary evil by some senior managers and this, of course, leads to an inappropriate management style. Lack of plans and planning can result in a behavior that can affect the channels of communication among employees, spotlight a lack of understanding of the needs and requirements of customers and create a failure to understand the basics and key linkages between concepts like business process re-engineering and design. This lack of planned integration between the "soft" and "hard" issues of a QMS can result in unwillingness by employees to participate in improvement initiatives and, again, quality is seen as an added cost and something to be avoided.
Measure Employee Performance
You can't pull off quality without competent people. I used to think that a strong process could steer the ship; however, people drive the QMS. Management must insist that the criteria for competency be developed based on appropriate education, skills, training and experience for activities, tasks, functions and processes. The level and detail of such qualifications, skills, training and experience will depend upon the complexity of product, process and, basically, your QMS. Manufacturing Class III medical devices demands a different and more complex set of ground rules than Class I devices. The demands on personnel are unalike and subjectively complicated.
Suggestion: Whether you give training duties to your employees, take them on personally or some combination of the two approaches, it's important that management provide all levels of personnel with a history of the company through the lens of quality and improvement. Let them know what problems you have had in the past, how you corrected these problems and where your company stands with respect to its quality goals and objectives today.
It is up to your organization, with backing from management, to determine the necessary criteria for the various functions and activities affecting product and QMS based upon these factors. A skills matrix, for example, is a valuable tool used by medical device companies to determine and manage the competency levels required by different activities and functions to make safe and effective medical devices.
Organizations undergo significant changes through growth or decline, acquisitions, new technology and new products and processes. It is management's responsibility to give guidance and direction. Also, many organizations now outsource production labor to save on payroll costs and benefits. Labor-related nonconformities can easily arise in such cases. Planning for your HR process must ensure that contract and agency personnel who perform work affecting product quality have adequate competency and training. Appropriate records must be kept of such training.
Quality professionals recommend that businesses train workers at all levels to look for ways to improve quality and to reduce problems before they happen. Management must back this training 100 percent. Competency-based training is an approach that is more often used in concrete skills learning than abstract learning. In the medical device industry, it is the difference between training to work instructions versus training to policy level documents. It differs from other non-related approaches in that the unit of learning is extremely fine-grained. All employees work on one competency at a time, which is likely a small component of a larger learning goal.
Suggestion: Talent management is the science of using strategic human resource planning to improve business value and make it possible for companies and organizations to reach goals. A talent-management strategy needs to link to business strategy to succeed. Two major areas of measurement are imperative: performance and potential, i.e. to tee-up the proper development of skills and increased responsibility.
Having the Right Attitude comes from The Top
Too many people turn the quest to improve quality and to be compliant into something oppressive. The idea that the QMS has to be dreary and involve a lot of negativity is nonsense. On the other hand, this is serious business with a mindset that spells leadership, leadership and more leadership.
The job of management is to frame the pursuit of quality and regulatory compliance as an interesting, noble and worthwhile goal. If you are to truly improve quality at your business, whether you manufacture products, distribute goods or perform a service for your customers, your first step (and also the toughest first move) is to resist the enticement to dwell on your company's failings. Instead, demonstrate to your employees that correction and then corrective/preventive action is more than wordsmithing but is, in fact, a pursuit of real, honest-to-goodness improvement.
Demonstrate Commitment
Budgeting for corrective and preventive action, training, internal audits and improvement initiatives should be deliberate. Companies that throw pocket change at quality compliance commonly get frustrated and constantly complain about not having a decent return on investment. What investment? There's no budget. Tracking the cost of quality as part of this budgeting process and actually reporting on your progress during staff meetings and management review sessions is imperative.
Top management must actively participate in management reviews on a regular basis. How else are we going to see that they are truly leaders "walking the talk." Employees at all levels see right through "lip service" and false promises. Employees don't want a speech as much as they want to see how top management is going to live the quality policy and tough regulatory demands. This goes both ways. Equally, quality management must be allowed to participate in regular management meetings, planning sessions and decision-making processes. I read about a medical device company that had an executive staff that met alone and quite frequently—probably in one of those dark-paneled offices. They never included process owners and especially anyone from the quality department in their planning sessions. The president of the company couldn't understand why her "message" wasn't being heard by everyone. What can you expect when you don't talk with everyone and don't ask for suggestions? The article went on to say that she changed her modus operandi, and now the company continues to measure-up to the challenges on their "quality dashboard." It's just about talking and listening.
Suggestion: Management must be committed to:
- Increasing access to more markets worldwide with ISO certification
- Outlining ways to review and improve processes across your organization
- Increasing efficiency, cutting costs and monitoring supply chain performance
- Demonstrating that you produce safer and more effective medical devices
- Meeting regulatory requirements and customer expectations
The quality department must report directly to top management. Reporting to operations can be misconstrued as a smoke-and-mirrors attempt at compliance. Your intentions must preclude bias and should allow objectivity to lead the way with strategic as well as task-oriented initiatives. Top management must champion quality, communicate it and understand its impact concerning the production of safe and effective medical devices every day.
Lastly, management's strategic plan should include quality milestones and not just financial goals and objectives. The financial part of this equation is very important, without a doubt but, unfortunately, doesn't present the whole picture. Strategic planning can, for example, include quality drivers like indisputable compliance to the QS Regulation and ISO 13485, effective and efficient process controls, supplier excellence, timely closure of corrective actions, the pursuit of CE Marking, etc. Quality must be implemented as a strategic requirement to build competitive advantage and a compliant QMS. Last time I looked, medical device companies are part of a regulated industry that becomes more complex every day.

About Mike and the Moonpies
On-stage and on record, Austin's Mike and the Moonpies keep the torch of Texas country burning. Whether it's a hardcore two-step, freewheeling Western swing, Doug Sahm's Cosmic American Music, or George Strait's sweet, burnished ballads, Mike and the Moonpies tap into the traditions of the Lone Star State, yet their music feels nimble and fresh thanks to their deft interplay and sly touch.
A nascent version of Mike and the Moonpies premiered in 2008, with guitarist Catlin Rutherford leading a variety of musicians through a Monday night residency at the Hole in the Wall, a dive on the University of Texas drag. Toward 2010, the band solidified around Rutherford, vocalist Mike Harmeier, steel guitarist Zach Moulton, drummer Kyle Ponder, and bassist Preston Rhone, with this lineup releasing the independent The Real Country that year. Pianist John Carbone joined in 2011 and the band claimed the East Side venue the White Horse as its new Austin haunt. The following year found the band releasing its second album, The Hard Way.
After the release of The Hard Way, Mike and the Moonpies continued to tour regularly, expanding to the rest of Texas. The group's third album, 2015's Mockingbird, began to earn the group attention outside of Texas. After delivering a double live album called Live at WinStar World Casino & Resort in 2016, the group returned in early 2018 with its fourth studio album, Steak Night at the Prairie Rose. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

I took a look in their Swirls category and gave myself a challenge. Why? Well, I didn't feel like just telling you about Qbrushes, I wanted to try them out for myself, and it would be FUN. So I picked four of the brushes that I really liked and gave myself ten minutes per brush to create a mini-background image in Photoshop. I set the timer and when it went off I had to stop regardless of if I was done. Below are the results.

Samsung is working on 'perfect full-screen' devices with selfie cameras under the display
Samsung is working on making the entire front of its phones a screen, with no need for bezels or a camera cutout of any kind. Yonhap News Agency reports that the company's vice president of its display R&D group, Yang Byung-duk, said that "though it wouldn't be possible to make (a full-screen smartphone) in the next 1-2 years, the technology can move forward to the point where the camera hole will be invisible, while not affecting the camera's function in any way."
The comments come less than a month after Samsung announced its latest flagship, the Galaxy S10, which is the company's first phone to have a "hole-punch" cut out from its display for the selfie camera. Yang called the S10's Infinity-O display a "milestone" for the company,…

They had dark eyes, straight or wavy black hair, and yellowish or copper skin. Their remote ancestors had probably come from Asia across the Bering Strait in waves of migration that began perhaps as early as forty thousand years ago and continued until about 10,000 BCE. Much controversy, however, surrounds the problem of the approximate date of the first human habitation in America. Some archaeologists argue that no firm evidence exists to refute the traditional view, based on the dating of so-called Folsom stone projectile points found throughout North and South America, that such habitation began about twelve thousand years 7 8 CHAPTER 1 ANCIENT AMERICA ago.
Despite the highly conventionalized and static style, the absence of perspective and shading, and the obvious errors in the human figure, it has an effect of realism that is often missing from other Mesoamerican art. Students of the Maya have frequently testified to the admirable personal qualities of the people who, with a very limited technology and in a most forbidding environment, created one of the greatest cultural traditions of all time. Bishop Diego de Landa, who burned twenty-seven Maya codices as "works of the devil," nevertheless observed that the Maya were very generous and hospitable.
Increased food production enabled villagers to support a class of priests who acted as intermediaries between people and gods. More abundant food also released labor for the construction of ceremonial sites—mounds of earth topped by temples of wood or thatch. The social unit of the Formative period was a village community that was composed of one or more kinship groups, but by the end of the period, small chiefdoms that united several villages developed. Because land and food were relatively plentiful and populations were small, warfare must have been infrequent.

Here's some background on my exercise history. I have been a member of my gym since 1998. I have gone through spurts, as I think many of us do, of going and not going.
I was into Step class for a while, going up to three times a week. Then about five years ago I joined a running club at the gym and started training for 5Ks-5Ms. I have done about 10, to date.
Then about 2 years ago, I started doing bootcamp once a week with friends, weather permitting. As the wedding approached this year, however I was reluctant to do anything rigorous for fear of twisting my ankle or worse before the wedding, lol. I just tried to watch what I was eating, mainly cutting out my beloved coca-cola addiction.
Well, since the honeymoon, being unemployed and drinking soda, my weight has gone up! A couple of days ago, the person who lives upstairs received a package with the word "Zumba" on it. (I was not snooping, lol, I actually brought it in for her from the front step) My interest was peeked so I googled it and I loved what I saw. I had seen infomercials before but for some reason I never really paid much attention
So, tonight I went to my first Zumba class. It happen to be at my gym I've been paying for and not attending! The music was so good! It was a combination of Dance, Latin, Indian, and Reggaeton music. There were all kinds of people and all ages. It really went fast, because it really did not feel like exercise. I love to dance, so this was really up my alley, and I think I may be hooked! Boy did I sweat!
Anybody else try this?
Never tried it...but if it made you feel good, stick with it! :-)
I miss my dance classes...but it's hard to take class when you're also teaching a class that overlaps!
My mom has been teaching zumba for over two years and has lost 50 pounds. She is really psycho into it and all her friends are really into it too. Personally I hate exercising and could never really get into it. That's great that you liked it it's an awesome work out and you can burn up to 500 calories in an hour with the right instructor.
I'm also unemployed and have gained all the weight I lost before the wedding I really need to get off my butt. Being unemployed and staying home is sort of depressing.
Keep it going!

Old Times
Staged Reading of Old Times by Harold Pinter
18 February 2011
7 p.m. @ The Finnish-British Society, Fredrikinkatu 20 A, Helsinki
After the success of The Open Circuit, The Finn-Brit Players will be presenting a staged reading of Old Times by Harold Pinter, as part of their ongoing Pinter Project.
"A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false."
– Harold Pinter
There are those whose lives are deeply rooted in the past; others keep one foot planted firmly in the future. Between the two rages a battle to control the present. Harold Pinter's Old Times suspends Kate between her stimulating London days with her only friend Anna, and her quiet homelife in the country with her husband Deeley – challenging her to choose between nostalgia and now.
The cast includes Zoë Chandler, Jonathan Hutchings and Angie Hämäläinen, and will be directed by Jakob Holder.
